《Journey Towards Greatness》 Chapter 1 - A New Beginning In a hospital room, there is an old man lying on a bed with his eyes staring at the ceiling and is thinking about his life. Julian ''My name is Julian an Ex war veteran, today I turn 82 and I can feel deathing for me but I have no regrets even though my life was once a hell participating in war all the killing I had done always haunted me, it had turned me into a rock with no feelings but life didn''t give up on me I met a woman and fell in love, I married her and had a kid after the war ended I retired from a bullet wound in my spine, my son soon grew up into a perfect man found a beautiful wife for himself and had a son, that day was the happiest day of my life when I carried my grandson, as years passed my grandson grew and we spent a lot of time together, he would force me to watch different animes with him and soon I grew used to it in fact, I started liking it we both loved pokemon and we used to always argue which is the better pokemon. Iugh at myself thinking how funny that an old man arguing with his grandson about anime but I didn''t feel ashamed because I started to live my childhood which I never had, I always thought that God didn''t exist when I was young but after experiencing life and everything that it has given me I believe even if God doesn''t show himself to us, he is still watching over us all a guiding us. ?? Julian "Sigh, being alone in the hospital is pretty boring and this fucking pain in the spine is killing me" Julian ''I wonder when will my grandsone, he said he will visit me after school is over, it''s going to be another long day I guess I will sleep'' As I close my eyes I was suddenly surrounded by darkness and I was slowly losing my consciousness I suddenly started cursing in my head ''fucking death can''t even let me meet my family onest time'' After I die I feel nothing but its still weird that I can still think I start to freak out then suddenly everything turns white and in front of me there is a middle age man smiling, I took a minute to calm my self down. Julian "May I know who are you?" God "Some call me God, Some call me the creator but it is up to you to decide who I am to you" After listening to him Julian was shocked to the core, he started to question himself and also look at the Man before him, no matter how much he thought he only had one answer ''Yes I am Dead and God is standing in front of me'', he suddenly went to my knees in front of him Julian "Thank you, Lord, for granting me a good life" God "Rise, I don''t need your thank you I am happy that you don''t me me for giving you a cruel start, there are very few souls like you" Julian "I wouldn''t dare use you of anything" God "I am quite happy today so I will grant you a second life with three wishes to go with it" Julian was really excited to hear what he said even though he is an old man getting a chance to live again is very tempting, he started to think what should he wish about and finally he made a decision Julian "Lord my first wish is to be reincarnated into the universe of the pokemon, in Kanto region" Julian "My second wish is to have my memories of my past life with me" Julian "My third wish is to have an AI-based system" Julian had carefully thought about his wishes, he didn''t want to take a risk so he had asked for his memories to be intact and an AI system was needed for him to look into pokemon stats. Hearing my wishes God smiles God "You are clever, for wishing your memories to be intact, many people forget such a crucial aspect and have been reincarnated without there memory" "Now I will ask you how do you want to be reincarnated? do you want to start as a baby or do you want me to create a body for you and send you there? if you choose the second option you can choose any one starter pokemon you want for the start of your journey" Of course, Julian choose the second option as any reasonable person will do the same God "So you choose the second option, good". Suddenly a screen appears in front of Julian, he looks at the screen and realize that he can make his body the way he wants it to be, seeing this he bes happy and start shaping his body, he chooses a slender muscr body with a little tan skin but not too much, he set his age at 18, height 6 feet, red eyes, ck hair and made his little brother 9 inches, after that there was a section of starter pokemon he browse through it and select Chimchar because he really liked it final evolution and its ze ability, after he finishes designing everything he looked at God, then suddenly he remembered something Julian "Lord, how does the timeline work in the pokemon universe?" God "Ah I almost forgot to inform you as the which you are going to reincarnate is 100 times bigger than your previous so 1 year in your new world will be 10 years in your previous world and the elements in your new world is so rich that people tend to live a very long life and grow slowly, that''s why you don''t see ash be old" After listening to him Julian thought that if his previous world had the same concept he would have lived up to 800 years on average. Julian "Lord I am ready" God "Good, may you enjoy your new life to the fullest" He said and waved his hand, suddenly a portal opened under Julian and sucked him in before he knew he became unconscious and drifted away. Chapter 2 - Chimchar And Catching New Pokemons Julian slowly opens his eyes and see his surroundings there are trees and bushes everywhere, he takes a while and recall everything that happened, he felt as if all this is just a dream, He looks down and see that he is wearing a ck coat which is up to my legs a red t-shirt inside and a ck pant, he felt relieved that God didn''t let me be nacked on his first day or he would have been in a pinch if he couldn''t find any clothes, He sat under a tree nkly thinking about his past life after that he erased his thoughts as a new life is waiting for Julian, he doesn''t know why he could put his previous life to the side just like that, he thought that God''s must have done something. Suddenly Julian hear a mechanical voice inside his head ?? "System rebooting 1,2,3,4,.....100, Authenticating host, hostname-Julian, age-18, height- 6 feet, Strength ( body, might, brawn) - 40, Constitution ( stamina, endurance, validity) - 40, Defence ( resistance, fortitude, resilience) -40, Dexterity ( agility, reflexex, quickness) -40, Intelligence-65, Charisma ( presence, charm, social) -80, Wisdom-70, Skills- Cooking, Weapon Master, Close Combat Master, Master Shooter. ____________________________________________________ Pokemon- Chimchar Items- 3 lottery tickets, spatial pouch, 25000 Pk dors Julian looked at his stats and got astonished. Julian ''what''s with this ridiculous allrounder stats'' But it didn''t surprise him that much as it was a body made by God, then he looks at the Item list and sees spatial pouch, He starts to search for it and find it attached to his belt, he look inside it and he felt like he could get lost inside it, He put my hand inside it and think of Chimchar and suddenly a small ball appears in his hand, He takes it out and its a Pokeball he press the middle button and it expands he then throws the ball up in the air and call out Chimchar, light shes and a small orange color monkey with his butt on fire appears in front of him, Chimchar looks at Julian for a second and when he sees Julian smiling he bes happy and clings on to Julian and climb up onto his shoulder and rubs his cheeks against Julian''s. Julia pats his head and makes him calm down, he gets down on the ground and starts exploring the surroundings, Julian quickly order AI-system to disy the stats of Chimchar ___________________________________________________ Status- Chimchar Level- 9 HP - 44 Attack - 58 Defense - 44 Sp. Atk - 68 Sp. Def - 54 Speed - 61 Move sets - scratch, seer, ember, taunt, fury swipes. Julian looks at Chimchar''s stats and is very pleased as his move sets are also very good and useful, he then ns to catch few pokemons but first he decides to open his lottery tickets Julian ''system open lottery tickets'' ''Ding- opening lottery ticket'' ''Ding- opening lottery ticket'' ''Ding- opening lottery ticket'' ______________________________ 1. 10 pokeballs, 10000 Pk dors. 2. One month supply of pokemon food. 3. Three great balls, one ultra ball. ______________________________ Julian ''Hm I didn''t expect to get an ultra ball, 10 Pokeball is a good draw too and I even got some Pk dors, one month supply of pokemon food I don''t know much about making pokemon food but I can learn it easily with all my experience of my past life I can pull it off, lets not think about it now first let me catch some pokemon'' Julian "Chimchar lets go catch some pokemons" Chimchar "chimmcharrrrrr" He ran and hopped onto Julian''s shoulder As they walk through the forest they came across a river and along the riverside, he saw a golden Magikarp struggling in shallow water Julian went near it and tried to pick it up so he could release it in water but it became very aggressive then he thought should catch it as it will eventually evolve into a Gyarados. Julian "Chimchar use scratch" Chimchar jumps and uses scratch on Magikarp which causes it to faint then Julian throws a Pokeball at it and capture it, he then release it back to the water so that it could feelfortable after swimming in deep water it bes calm, he then decided to catch other pokemons, he sent Magikarp back to its Pokeball and went inside the forest again after roaming around for quite some time afternoon already arrived so he brought out some pokemon food and gave it to Chimchar, while Chimchar was having his lunch and Julian was meditating suddenly a vine came rushing towards Chimchar and try to steal his food and was sessful, Chimchar was really angry and started to chase the vine, Julian also gave chase and after some time they were visited by the site of a pokemon and it was a Bulbasaur seeing it Julian was really happy to finally see a pokemon. But it suddenly attacked using vine whip Julian "Chimchar dodge" Chimchar jumped of the way and avoided the whips, this time it used razor leaf Julian "Chimchar use ember" Chimchar used ember and it shed with razor leaf creating dust and smoke, this was the chance and he couldn''t miss it Julian "Chimchar use scratch followed by fury swipes" Chimchar did as follows and Bulbasaur fainted, Julian quickly threw the Pokeball at Bulbasaur and caught it as the ball shakes on the ground as he watched in anticipation, then when it stops moving and make a sound the capture is sessful so he breathes a sigh of relief. Julian brings out Bulbasaur, when ites outside he kneels down and pat his head and give him some pokemon food and so he happily eats it. Julian looks at the sky and sees that it''s still noon ''its gonna be a long day'' he then tells Chimchar and Bulbasaur to y near me as I sit and start to meditate. Chapter 3 - Professor Oak Julian was meditating as it always helped him maintain a peace of mind in his past life and now it has be a habit, while meditating he hears buzzing noises and gets alerted both Chimchar and Bulbasaur also look at the direction the noises areing from after a second they see an old man with gray hair and white coat running and behind him a swarm of Beedrills chasing after him, he suddenly tumbles and fall down seeing this Julian knew that they were in trouble. Julian "Chimchar use ember on the Beedrills, Bulbasaur use razor leaves" ?? As they attack the Beedrills Julian helps the old man get up, he returns his pokemons back to their Pokeball and escapes while the Beedrills are still distracted by the explosion, Julian takes the old man behind a big bush and hide inside it until the Beedrills go away Julian ''These Beedrills are really annoying'' he curses inside his head Oak "Thanks, Young man for helping me" I look at this old man and I know who this is, he is professor Oak Julian "Its ok mister but how did you get yourself in this trouble?" Oak "You see I was monitoring this new colony of Beedrills leaving hear, but by mistake snapped a twig under my foot so they became alerted and started chasing after me" Julian "Ah, I see these Beedrills are very aggressive you should be careful mister" Oak "I know I will be careful, Ah where are my manners, My name is Samual Oak I am a professor who does research on pokemons, you can call me professor Oak" Julian"My name is Julian and I like to travel to different parts of the world and catch new Pokemons" Oak "Nice to meet you, Julian why don''t youe with me to myb there are a lot of pokemons you can see there" hearing him asking Julian to visit hisb he bes excited, as with this opportunity he ns to build up a good start to his journey. Julian "Then please excuse me for troubling you" Julian brings out Chimchar out as he doesn''t like being inside his Pokeball, seeing Chimchar professor oak is surprised as Chimchars are very rare in Kanto region Oak "Your Chimchar looks very healthy looks like you take very good care of him" Hearing him say this Julian justugh it off as he cannot say that it has not been even a day since he met Chimchar, but Julian personally think that his bond with Chimchar is really strong. As they walk further outside the forest Julian sees a jeep parked on the road he assumes that it must be Professor Oak''s, Professor Oak hops onto the driver seat and Julian follows him, after half hour drive they reach Pallet town, the people here are very lively and it looks like everyone is very respectful towards Professor Oak after some time they reach the Pokemonboratory, Professor Oak gets out of the jeep and walks near the door to open it. Oak "Juliane inside" Julian follows him inside and looks around the facility as it is filled withb equipment,puter and many books on pokemons, he goes towards the back door and open it to be visited by the site of a huge ground filled with many pokemons of different types and sizes, professor Oakes behind him and start exining Julian "All types of pokemone here as there are many different environments for the correct development of all kinds of Pokemon. There are areas of grass, sand, rocks, andkes to promote good interaction between the different types of Pokemon. Theboratory also has the technology to keep Pok¨¦mon healthy and to make thergest scientific investigations in the world, trainers alsoe here to leave their pokemons so that we take care of them when they are not around" Julian "It''s really impressive, say professor Oak can I stay here and do research on the pokemons and I can also help you in your research as well, what do you think?" Oak "I will be happy to get some assistance in my research but are you sure you want to do this?" Julian "To be honest I was nning from the start to visit you so that I cane here and study some pokemon luckily I met you before I nned to so I have no problem" Oak "Haha, that''s great I will let you use the guest room to stay and you can live here as long as you want" And so Julian started living in the Pokemonboratory while studying the pokemon and their habits, he noticed that different pokemons have a different personality and will prefer a different type of food taste depending on there personality like his Chimchar who has a joyful and brave personality enjoys a little spicy food and my Bulbasaur who is a little timid, he enjoys sweet food, seeing his discovery Professor Oak also adapted to it, he also learned how to make pokemon food. He now had to make different types of food for each of his pokemons, he gave the pokemon food he had to professor Oak he was shocked to see so much pokemon food with Julian so he just bluffed that he overdid it by making so much, Julian also helped in taking care of the pokemons in the field and pokemons of different trainers, sometimes he would get annoyed by Professor Oak''s grandson Gary as hees and asks me all sort of questions, Gary thinks that Julian super cool looking and because he was also impressed by his Chimchar and Bulbasaur strength, Julian also trained his pokemons by making them do special training, he trained Chimchar in some hand to handbat training and Bulbasaur to have precise control over his move execution and so time has gone by as 80 days passed away just in a sh. All of his pokemons were ready to evolve, with the help of the AI-system scan their progress and today was one of those days. Julian ''System so all my pokemons stats'' ___________________________________________ Status- Chimchar level - 14 (ready to evolve) HP - 44 Attack - 85 Defence - 56 Sp. Atk - 105 Sp. Def - 70 Speed - 100 Move set - scratch, seer, ember, taunt, fury swips, me wheel, fire spin ___________________________________________ Status- Bulbasaur Level - 16 (ready to evolve) HP - 60 Attack - 70 Defence - 65 Sp.

Atk - 30 Sp. Def - 30 Speed - 110 (in water) Move set - ssh, tackle, flial ____________________________________________ Seeing all his pokemons stats and they were ready to evolve he was realy happy even though they are evolving a little slow because he mainly focused on training them in perfecting their moves so when they evolve they do not lose controle due to loose foundation, after all the training they had gone through perfecting their skills and have also learned new moves making them very versatile, they have grown realy healthy, bigger and stronger thenpared to others of their own species. Julian "Even though my Magikarp stats looks weak but still my Magikarp is literally the strongest I have ever seen and the scariest thing about it is its speed just imagine when it evolves into Gyarados gives me cold sweat" Julian "I think I am ready to start my Journey to be the greatest of all" Chapter 4 - The Journey Begins Early morning at Professor Oak''sb Julian wakes up from his bed reenergized, he freshens up and puts on his clothes which he wore when he came into this world as it was kept aside and he wore normal clothes when he lived and worked in theboratory, but now his days in theboratory are over because as of today he will start his journey. After getting ready he went outside his room to see three people chatting with each other around his pokemon, two of them were Professor Oak and his grandson Gary and the other was ady and Julian knew who she was, she was Professor Oak''s granddaughter Daisy Oak, Julian looks at her and is really impressed by her beauty, while Julian looks at her she also looks at Julian making eye contact it goes for some seconds and finally Daisy blushes and looks down well this scene was totally ignored by Professor Oak but Gary noticed something. ?? Professor Oak "Ah Julian meet my granddaughter Daisy she is also a pokemon groomer and Daisy meet Julian he is the trainer of the pokemon you are holding and also a genius" Julian "Nice to meet you daisy, I am Julian" He says and greets her with a handshake Daisy "Nice to meet you, Julian I see your pokemons are really strong and healthy maybe sometime we can sit have some tea and share information" As Daisy being mature she didn''t make this awkward and greeted him Julian "Yes it will be a pleasure to spend time with a beautifuldy" Hearing this Daisy just smiles and keeps silent on the other hand Gary is having a st in his head thinking about his sister and his idle Julian who he also looks up to like a big brother being together, as for professor Oak he didn''t even think anything. Julian looked at Professor Oak Julian "Professor Oak, I think I am ready" Professor Oak "Ah, I knew this day wille eventually, now I have to do all the work alone again" Julian "If you want I can postpone it to next month" Professor Oak "No need you have already decided" Gary who was listening to the conversation was very confused Gary "big brother Julian are you living?" Professor Oak "Yes Gary, Julian is going to participate in the indigo league and from today he will start his journey" Gary "so even big brother Julian will be participating in the league? that''s great after I get my first pokemon and start my Journey I will be able to battle big brother Julian" Professor Oak "But you still have to wait a month to get your first pokemon haha" Gary "No worries I will battle brother Julian in the league itself" Even though Gary is still a kid he is a really proud person and boasts about it full of confidence, looking at her brother who is rarely impressed by someone Daisy has grown interested in Julian. Julian "Ok Gary if we get a chance we will battle in the indigo league but until then you have to be strong with your pokemons by your side" Hearing Julian Gary just nods his head Professor Oak "wait here Julian I will get you your trainer ID and some pokeballs" After some time Professor Oakes back with an ID card, six pokeballs, and a batch case and gives it to Julian. Julian is outside theboratory saying his goodbyes to Professor Oak, Gary, and Daisy Professor Oak "Julian catch some rare pokemons and send them to me and take care" Gary "brother Julian wait for me, I will meet you in the indigo league" Daisy "Take care Julian, hope we get some time to spend in the future" Julian "Alright everyone I am leaving" As Julian says his goodbye, turn around and leave, Julian ns to first head to Viridian forest so he can catch some pokemons and train them for there future battle as his first challenge will be Brock gym leader of the Pewter gym. Its noon and Julian can be seen walking alone on the road to Viridian forest Julian "System how much time to reach the forest?" "Host will arrive at the Viridian forest in a day" ''A day huh looks like I have to find a ce to camp at night'' After walking for 4 hours Julian finds himself near a river bed so he decides to camp here for today ''This ce is great the pokemons can also rx here'' Julian releases his pokemons Bulbasaur and Magikarp outside and Chimchar also joins them, as they y around Julian starts to set up the tent for camping. After setting up the camp Julian was leisurely sitting next to the river and watching his pokemon y in the water where Bulbasaur will try to drag Chimchar in the water but Chimchar will run away, suddenly hear a number of Spearow cries he looks up to the sky and see a group of Spearow harassing a Pidgey, he doesn''t even think for a second. Julian "Bulbasaur use razor leaf, Chimchar use fire spin" After hearing his instruction both of them attack bybining their moves as the razor leaves are surrounded by fire spin and hits the group of Spearow, after getting hit the group flys away scared but the Pidgey couldn''t hold any longer and started to fall down Julian "Bulbasaur use vine whip to catch Pidgey and bring him down slowly" After bringing him down Julian sees that the Pidgey left wing is hurt so he quickly sprays healing spray on the wound and wraps his wing with bandage then he gives some medicine for him to drink and the Pidgey slowly closes its eyes and sleeps. Looking at the sky Julian sees that sun is about to set soon he gives his pokemon food to eat and send them back to their pokeballs, eats and heads off to sleep as well. Chapter 5 - Team Rocket Morning near the river bed inside the camp Julian is sleeping peacefully but he wakes up because something is pecking his face as he slowly opens his eyes he sees Pidgey on top of his chest looking at him with curiosity and a little awareness, seeing this Julian stood up and pated Pidgey''shead Julian "looks like you feel all better now" ?? Pidgey "peeee" nods his head happily Julian walks out of the tent and releases his pokemons out, Magikarp directly jumps into the river whereas Chimchar and Bulbasaur greets Pidgey Julian "Ok Bulbasaur before we head start our journey lets train a new move today and Chimchar you just do some closebat training and meditate afterward" He looks at Pidgey "you just sit and watch us train then after we continue our journey I will take you to the Pokemon center" Pidgey "peeee" nods his head Julian "Ok Bulbasaure with me" Julian and Bulbasaur walks near a tree Julian "Today you are going to learn a new move called Energy ball" Bulbasaur "bulba?" he looks confused Julian "Try imagining you are collecting energy from your surrounding on your back and then channeling that energy in front of you to make a ball out of it" After hearing Julian''s exnation Bulbasaur understands it and start to collect energy from his surroundings as he does energy umtes in his back and making his bud glow green and then he starts channel it to form a ball as he tries hard it forms a small green ball then suddenly disappears, seeing it was a very good start Julian is very happy Julian "You are doing great Bulbasaur if you keep this up you will learn this move in no time" Being praised by Julian Bulbasaur bes determined and starts practicing again. Julian walks back near the tent and watches his pokemons training and start to think his battle n with Brock ''Geodude is no problem as I am training Bulbasaur to fight with him but the main problem will be Onix, I don''t have a suitable pokemon to face it, Chimchar still cannot fight it as his closebat is still weak and will do less damage and fire based attacks won''t work, as for Magicarp even if it evolves into Gyarados it cannot battle in that rocky terrain with no water, guess I have to catch a new pokemon or I have to continue fighting using Bulbasaur'' As Julian was thinking about his strategy in a distance a Meowth shaped balloon wasing closer towards them and in this balloon, there were 3 figures, one pokemon two humans and yes they where team rocket and they were in a pretty beat up shape James "Hu, I am so tired and hungry we haven''t eaten anything for three days" Jessie "Shut up you idiot don''t talk about food you will make me even more hungry" Meowth "you guys at least had food three days ago and even ate my share, I have not eaten for whole five days, what am I doing with you idiots instead of being in boss''sp" All three sigh together being dead then suddenly they here banging noise, James get up and looks at the source of the sound with his binocrs and sees Chimchar and Bulbasaur training James "hey look at that pokemon I have never seen it before." he says by pointing his finger at Chimchar Jessie "hey Meowth what pokemon is that? Meowth "how would I know" James "let me check" he takes out a pokemon book about pokemons in Kanto region "hmm it not a pokemon of the Kanto region I cannot find it in the book" Jessie "We should catch it send it to the boss and look at that Bulbasaur isn''t it huge? it must be very strong we should catch it make it a part of our team" James "Yes with that powerful Bulbasaur on our side we will be able to dominate and steal many pokemons and then we will get promoted and be rich hehehe" Meowth "And finally I will be able to be bosses favorite and throw away that nasty Persian, hahaha" Unknown to Julian who was thinking about hising gym battle, suddenly two huge mechanical handsunch at Chimchar and Bulbasaur as both of them have great reflex they easily dodge the hands and take stans to fight Julian also gets alerted and looks what happened and he sees a giant Meowth balloon floating in front of them seeing the balloon Julian starts to get a headache ''not these clowns'' Julian "what the heck are you doing idiots" Jessie "what did you call us? did you call us idiots?" Julian "Of course I called you idiots as only idiots will attack pokemons with giant mechanical hands" Hearing being insulted like this Jessie is really angered Meowth "Jessie calm down look he even got a gold Magikarp" Jessie "Che, who cares about that useless pokemon" then she points her finger towards Julian "who do you think you are calling me an idiot I will make you pay" Magikarp who got insulted by Jessie became angry andunched a tackle attack on Jessie, seeing that the Magikarp was attacking her Jessie "useless thing get away from me, Ekans p that thing away from me," she says and calls out Ekans, Ekans then ps Magicarp back to the river with its tail, this time Magicarp is really infuriated and suddenly he starts to glow. Julian "Looks like these idiots helped Magikarp evolve haha" Meowth "Jessie I think this time you have overdone yourself" Jessie "What are you babbling about?" James "look your self what you have done" Seeing her friends scared shitlessly she looks at the direction they are pointing and when she sees it she turns pale as a ghost as a huge red Gyarados which is way bigger than normal staring at them very angrily. Julian "Haha looks like I have to thank you for helping my Magikarp evolve into Gyarados so take this gift from me, Gyarados us hydro pump" Gyarados "Raaaaaarrrrrrr" with that a huge Jet of water is shot at the balloon and sts it away While sting of James "why does this always happen with us?" (crying face) Jessie "That Gyarados is scary" (still scared and white as a ghost) Meowth "we didn''t even get a chance to introduce our self" All three of them "we are sting of againnnnnn" And they disappear into the sky, back to Julian as he admires his Gyarados who is in front of him floating very proudly Julian "Buddy you have turned into a magnificent Gyarados, right guys?" He asks his other pokemons and all of them nods their heads and are very happy for Gyarados Julian "Ok guys lets pack up and continue our journey or we will bete, Gyarados, Bulbasaur return" He takes out their Pokeballs and sends them back in it, then he turns towards Pidgey Julian "Hey buddy do you want toe with us" he takes out a Pokeball and ces it in front of Pidgey Pidgey "peeee" he happily presses the button and goes inside the ball, Julian picks up the ball and keeps it in his pouch Julian "Chimchar lets go" As Chimchar hops onto his shoulder they start to walk away. Chapter 6 - Blaze - Out Of Control Julian reaches Viridian forest and tries to find a ce to camp and train his Pokemons, atst, he finds ake where he can rest he brings out his pokemon Gyarados enters theke as soon as it gets out, Julian advises Bulbasaur to practice using energy ball and Chimchar again does closebat training, Julian removes the bandage from Pidgey''s wing and re-bandage it after tending the wound Julian "looks like you will be able to fly pretty soon" ?? Bulbasaur after an hour of practice is finally able to create an energy ball but it''s still not up to the mark. Julian "Ok guys enough training we should eat" He takes out different types of food for all his pokemon, he gives Pidgey normal food as he still doesn''t know what kind of food will be effective for him ''looks like Gyarados now like spicy food I should make an extra batch for him as he has grown so big''. Suddenly buzzing noise started toe from the forest, hearing so many buzzing noise Julian knew that arge number of Beedrills whereing at his way Julian "guys get ready, this can be bad" As he waits hundreds of Beedrillses towards them stinger first, Julian has no choice but to fight as he cannot run and diving inside theke will not help as he has to resurface to breath and can get attacked at that time ''shit'', he quickly returns Pidgey to his Pokeball. Julian "everyone dodge, Chimchar use fire spin, Bulbasaur use razor leaves, Gyarados hydro pump" All of them attack simultaneously causing half of the opposing Beedrills to faint then suddenly Beedrill charges towards Julian and stings him causing him to be poisoned seeing Julian get poisoned all of his pokemons get angry and attack madly but it was no use as the Beedrills where too many suddenly 4 Beedrills attack Chimchar causing him to be injured, Julian on the other hand quickly takes the antidote and runs towards Chimchar but it was toote suddenly the surrounding starts to be hot as Chimchar slowly gets up, the me on his butts is 3 times bigger than normal and glowing red the mes reach till the sky like a fire pir, seeing this only one thoughtes into Julian''s mind ''Chimchar''s special ability ze'' Julian "Shit this is his first time using ze he cannot control himself, Bulbasaur return" he takes out a Pokeball and returns Bulbasaur, then he looks at Gyarados "Gyarados go deep inside theke don''te out until I call you" following his order Gyarados quickly dives under the water. Chimchar goes on a rampage while using fire wheel he single-handedly bodies more than 50 Beedrills after this the remaining Beedrills flies away scared carrying their fallen partners, now there are only Julian and Chimchar facing of as Chimchar is still out of control he attacks Julian using fire spin again, Julian quickly dodges and takes out a metal pipe from his pouch, using the pipe he keeps Chimchar at bay, being a sword master in previous life he could easily read Chimchar movements and deflect it after some time Chimchar gains little consciousness and realizes that he attacked Julian he suddenly stops and the ze ability turns off and after a second he faints due to exhaustion. Julian "you cane up now Gyarados" Gyaradoses out of the water and looks at Chimchar with a worried expression Julian "Don''t worry he is just exhausted after using ze" Gyarados just nods then Julian brings out Bulbasaur and Pidgey out, seeing Chimchar sleeping they get worried they look at Julian Julian "He will be fine don''t worry about him, he will wake up pretty soon and Bulbasaur I think you should perfect your energy ball our next battle you will have to fight two pokemons as we don''t have to much time, we have to even bring Pidgey to the Pokemon center so he can get back to full health" Bulbasaur "bulbaa-bulbasaurr (leave it to me)" he says with a determined expression. Looking the determined Bulbasaur Julian just smiles and start to set up the tent for the night after sometimes Chimchar wakes up he looks around and sees Bulbasaur practicing energy ball on Gyarados and Pidgey watching them train. Julian "so finally decided to wake up?" Hearing Julian he turns around and see him smiling at him, Chimchar suddenly lowers his head because he is disappointed in himself for attacking Julian, seeing the disappointed Chimchar Julian quickly understand what he is thinking, he walks up to Chimchar and pats his head Julian "It''s not your fault buddy it was your first time using ze and you could not control it, instead of being disappointed you should feel happy you just learned the most powerful move of yours, you should ask Gyarados how strong you were that time" Chimchar looks at Gyarados and sees him nodding his head in agreement, he then looks back towards Julian. Julian "see even Gyarados agrees, so when next time you use ze promise me that you will not lose control of your self and be even stronger" Listening to Julian Chimchar nodes his head and is now more determined now he runs towards Bulbasaur and they both start to train with each other. Seeing Chimchar back to his old self Julian breaths a sigh of relief. Julian "now this is out of the way I should think about today''s incident, why where the Beedrills so furious? did someone provoke their nest, well it''s not a good idea to go and check it out or I might get into some unnecessary trouble" After he finishes pondering about today he puts it back of his mind and starts to train his Pokemons by giving them some instructions. While Julian was training his pokemons the culprit of the Beedrill incident where trying to find there way out of the forest while supporting their body with a stick and they face were swollen, they where of course team rocket after they were sted off by Gyarados thended directly on top of the Beedrills next nearly destroying it whole after that the Beedrills got furious and chase after them and stung them till they became swollen. James "my whole body is crying with pain first that Gyarados and now those Beedrills, I had enough of them I don''t want to see these pokemons again" Jessie "ya you are right, let''s get out of this forest fast" Meowth "Hey wait for me". And they walk away outside the forest stumbling and falling down. Chapter 7 - Pewter City As Julian walks out of the Viridian forest he is visited by the site of a beautiful city, there were lots of trees and buildings in it. Julian "look buddy we have arrived at the Pewter city where we will have our first gym battle" ?? Chimchar also looks at this huge city as it''s his first time seeing such a huge ce with lots of people and pokemons alike and he is filled with excitement and anticipation Julian "let''s go" They both start heading towards the city and after some time they arrive near the city gate as they arrive they are stopped by a beautifuldy with blue hair and wearing a police uniform and he knows who it is, its officer Jenny Jenny "Hold right there" Julian "Is there a problem officer Jenny" Jenny "What''s your purpose to visit the city" Julian "Ah, I am a pokemon trainer so I came here to challenge the Pewter gym" Saying this he takes out his trainer Id and shows it to officer Jenny, she takes his Id and checks if it is legit as she does that she starts to admire the young man before her ''wow he is the most handsome person I have ever seen, Ah well let''s not get distracted'', then she finishes verifying his Identity. Jenny "So your name is Julian, 16 years old, you look much older than your age" Julian "Does it matters officer Jenny?" he says with a smile Jenny "No it doesn''t" she blushes after a while she continues"Sorry for the inconvenience, there are some pokemon thieves running around recently and we have to check each and everyone''s identity" Julian "I don''t mind at all being stopped by such a beautifuldy" Hearing him call her beautiful she turns red as a tomato, then she tries to change the topic but cannot find the right topic to talk about because her mind is in a mess but to her rescue, Julian interrupts her thoughts. Julian "Officer Jenny can you drop me at the pokemon center I and my pokemon are very tired, it will be very helpful" Jenny "Of coursee with me" she looks at an officer nearby and gives him some instruction and she goes towards her bike followed by Julian Jenny "Hop on" Julian "Sure" he sits in the passenger seat with Chimchar on hisp as the head towards the pokemon center with a smile on his face "By the way officer Jenny I have a question?" Jenny "What is it?" Julian "Are all officer Jennys as beautiful as you" Hearing his question officer Jenny almost crashes the vehicle and now she is really embarrassed and shy turning red, Julian, on the other hand, is enjoying flirting with Jenny and making her embarrassed and so after a long drive with embarrassed officer Jenny and smiling Julian they reach the pokemon center, Julian gets up from the bike and smiles at Jenny. Julian "Thank you, Officer Jenny it was really a fun ride, see you next time" Jenny "Its ok Julian, I hope we meet again" after saying this she drives away. Julian then walks inside the pokemon center he sees many trainers with there pokemons, some are sick some are injured and some are healthy, he walks further and is greeted by nurse Joy Joy "How can I help you?" she asks with a smile Julian "Ah, my name is Julian, can you help me take care of my pokemons" he takes out 3 pokeballs and Chimchar and hands it over to her "and can I get room to stay here for tonight?" Joy "Sure, Chansey take Julian to the trainers resting area and show a room" Chansey "chanseeyyyyy" Chansey nods her head and leads Julian to the trainers resting area, he then chooses a room to stay in after that Chansey walks away to do her other work, as Julian sits down on a bench outside his room to see pokemons running and ying with each other. Julian "I should call professor Oak and inform him I have arrived at Pewter city" He gets up and walks towards the telephone to call professor Oak, he connects the call and is greeted by the picture of Professor Oak on the screen Oak "Julian how are you? it looks like you have arrived at Pewter city" Julian "Nice to see you, Professor, I just arrived at the city so I just called to inform you about it, and my Magikarp evolved into a red Gyarados and he is bigger than normal" Oak "Ahh, interesting a red Gyarados I see, I hope I can get to meet him soon so I can do some more research" Julian "Then I will be going Professor, I will challenge the Pewter gym tomorrow, give my regards to Daisy and Grey" Oak "Haha, yes yes certainly and all the best for your battle" And the screen goes off, Julian heads to the counter where Nurse Joy is Julian "Nurse Joy you look beautiful today," he says with a smile (no one can resist our MC''s smile ;p) Joy "Omg, you make me blush and thank you" Julian "There is no need to thank me I was saying the truth, Ah Ipletely forgot because of your beauty, how are my pokemons are they good to go?" Joy "Oh you are such a flirt" she bes shy and covers her face after few seconds she calms down "And yes your pokemons are very healthy, in fact they are also really strong you must have taken care of them really well" she says as Chansey bring out his pokemons Chimchar quickly hops on to his solder, Julian picks Pidgey''s Pokeball and calls him out as Pidgeyes out he starts to fly happily around. Julian "Pidgey looks like you are able to fly again, that''s really good" Hearing Julian Pidgeyes andnds on his other solder rubbing his chicks Joy "Your Pidgey was already healed I just did some small aid, Julian can you share how you take care of your pokemon it will be helpful for me" Julian "Only if Nurse Joy agrees to have dinner with me tonight" (That smile again ;p) Nurse Joy thinks about it sometimes ''What should I do should I go? well I will get to increase my knowledge and he is also really handsome and that smile it will kill me, I think I should go working day and night had made me stiff'' Joy "Ok Julian I ept your offer" Julian "I will then meet you here in the evening, bye" Joy "Bye" Julian goes to the trainer area and releases all his pokemon except Gyarados as they head off to y he then walks near the water area to release Gyarados. As time passes eveninges and Julian heads off to pick up Nurse Joy, he sees nurse Joy wearing casual clothes and start to admire her, after that, they go to a restaurant and have a great dinner together Julian shares his pokemon recipe with her and so does Joy by giving him some tips to take care of his pokemons and he also learns that Nurse Joy''s real name is Sara as they finish their dinner Julian invites her to his room at night as they enter his room they both start to kiss each other and have some fun together in the bed after they fall asleep, being mature that they are they know that tonight was a special night as it will not happen every day, she had her job and he had to travel all over the world, understanding each other and respecting each other decision the be more then friends but not lovers and so the day goes by. Chapter 8 - First Gym Battle When Julian wakes up he finds that Nurse Joy is absent, he gets off from his bed and walks towards the bathroom seeing the bathroom empty and her clothes missing he presumes that she left early ''looks like she left early and didn''t bother to wake me up, well we both were pretty tired after that extremest night'', Julian gets ready as today he is going to visit the Pewter gym to face off Brock. He leaves his room and sees Nurse Joy at the counter, he walks up to her. Julian "Good morning Nurse Joy how was yourst night?" he asks with a teasing voice ?? Nurse Joy blushes a little Joy "It was really good," she says in a low tone Julian "That''s good to hear, then I will be leaving take care," he says and leaves Joy "Visit me when you get a chance," says by waving her hand Julian "sure" Julian walks out of the pokemon center and walks towards the direction of the pokemon gym, he visits few stores to buy some candies for his pokemons and few extra ck coats for himself because he doesn''t want to wear the same coat every day after a while he arrives in front of the Pewter gym he walks inside to see Brock taking care of his pokemons on the side. Julian "Hello there I am Julian and I am here to challenge the Pewter gym leader" Brock "Hello my name is Brock, I am the gym leader of the Pewter gym and I ept your challenge" Brock "The rules are simple we will each use 2 pokemons, in middle of the battle we cannot switch pokemons, the first person to win both the battles wins" Julian "Ok I get it, Bulbasaur you are up" Brock "Bulbasaur, I see a smart choice, go Geodude" Julian "Bulbasaur use growl" by using growl Geodude''s attack power falls down Brock "Geodude use tackle" Geodude tries to tackle with full force Julian "Bulbasaur dodge" Bulbasaur dodges it in a blink of an eye Brock ''that Bulbasaur is really fast'' "Geodude use tackle once again" Julian "Bulbasaur dodge then use razor leaves" Bulbasaur easily dodges then sends a lot of razor leaves towards Geodude Brock "Geodude quick defense curl" Geodude rolls up into a ball and all the razor leaves hits and bounces off of Geodude Brock "Now Geodude rollout" Geodude rolls up and starts spinning and starts attacking madly at Bulbasaur Julian "Bulbasaur dodge and use razor leaves" but it bounces off after hitting the spinning Geodude ''even though Geodude is slow that rollout is going to be more powerful every time it uses it, razor leaves are just bouncing off of him I have to think of something'' Julian looks and sees that every time Geodude misses he has to uncurl and curl again to runch the attack but this process is very fast and he cannot get a perfect time to attack, he looks the surroundings and see that there are huge rocks in the battlefield. Julian "Bulbasaur go near that huge rock" Brock "Oh no you don''t, Geodude full power rollout" As Geodude gets closer and closer to Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur stands there waiting for instruction as Geodude''s a meter away from Bulbasaur, Julian "Now Bulbasaur jump up" Bulbasaur jumps at the right time missing Geodude by an inch as Geodude crashes on the rock Brock "on no" Julian "Bulbasaur use vine whip and catch Geodude''s arms and lift him up in the air" following Julian''s instruction Bulbasaur does it and it sessful Brock ''this is bad'' "Geodude try to break free" Geodude tries to free itself but Bulbasaur''s hold is too strong. Julian "Now Bulbasaur ms him to the ground until he is unable to fight back" Bulbasaur being very strong only ms Geodude two times on the ground very hard and it faints. (just imagine how hulk smashes Loki in Avengers >_<) Brock "That Bulbasaur of yours is very strong, Geodude you did great now return and take some rest" Julian "Great job buddy" Bulbasaur "bulbaa-bulbasaurr," he says very happily and suddenly he starts to glow and bes bigger Brock "its evolving" As the glowing stops, Bulbasaur evolves into an Ivysaur "Ivysaurrrr" Ivysaur shouts showing his dominance and as usual Ivysaur is bigger than usual Julian "Great buddy you have be even stronger now" Ivysaur nods his head happily. Julian ''System show me Ivysaur''s status'' _________________________________ Status- Ivysaur Level - 17 HP - 70 Attack - 85 Defense - 75 Sp. Atk - 95 Sp. Def - 95 Speed - 96 Move set - tackle, growl, leech seed, vine whip, sleep powder, poison powder, razor leaf, energy ball. __________________________________ Julian ''looks like growing big has reduced his speed but the other stats have gone really high and it even learned poison powder'' Brock "looks like its going to be hard for me but don''t think you have won,e out Onix" As Onixnds the ground shakes and dust rises in the air Brock "Onix use rock throw" Onix throw a barrage of huge rocks at Ivysaur Julian "Ivysaur use the rocks to climb up then use razor leaves" Ivysaur jumps from one rock to another and is finally in the air then followed by lots of razor leavesing at Onix at high speed, as Onix not having time to defend itself get hit and receives a lot of damage as his head falls on the ground. Brock "ONIX are you okay?" Onix then slowly gets up Brock "Good let''s continue, use dig" Onix goes underground leaving Ivysaur vulnerable to sneak attacks as Ivysaur tries to find Onik and looks left and right Julian "Calm down Ivysaur and feel the ground and search for vibrations and where iting from" After hearing Julian he calms down and closes his eyes to feel the vibrations and after few seconds he is able to predict where will Onixe out from, suddenly the ground starts shaking Julian "Now dodge then use leach seed" as Ivysaur dodges Onixes out of the ground and seeing its attack fail it tries to go back underground but before it could he is attacked by leach seed which drains 1/8th of his energy and leaves him in a state of paralysis Julian "Now is the time Ivysaur lets finish this use energy ball" Ivysaur suddenly starts to gather energy from the surroundings and creates a huge green ball andunches it towards Onix. Brock "ONIX NOOOO" After getting hit by the energy ball the gym is covered with dust after the dust is cleared we see that Onix has fainted meaning Julian and Ivysaur have won. Julian "you where awesome Ivysaur we have won our first badge" Ivysaur "Ivysaurrrrrrr" he jumps happily and runs towards Julian who catches him and pats his head and gives him some pokemon candy for his hard work. Brock "you did great Onix, get some rest" he sends Onix back to his Pokeball Brocks walks up to Julian Brock "Julian you and your pokemon are really strong and have a deep bond with each other no wonder you won the battle, here this is the Boulder badge this is the proof that you defeated me and have earned it" He takes out a silver octagon-shaped badge and gives it to Julian, Julian takes the badge and keeps it inside his badge case. Julian "then I will be going hope we will see each other soon" Brock "I also hope that we meet someday again" As Julian was about to walk out of the Gym Brock "Wait" hearing the call Julian turns around Julian "Is there something" Brock "Yes I have a question?" Julian "What is it?" Brock "Why do you smell like Nurse Joy?" Hearing this question Julian gets dumbfounded and now there is an awkward moment of silence for Julian Julian "Hahaha, this must be a joke right, how can I smell like nurse Joy, HAHA" Julian tries to escape the conversation but Brock interrupts again Brock "No I am not joking and I would never lie about anything that is rted to Nurse Joy and I know this scent this is definitely Nurse joy''s from the pokemon center, I am certain" Julian ''how does this bastard even do that, even I don''t have that much of a powerful sense of smell even though this body was made by God'' Julian is out of words and don''t know what to say he can not just say that he had sex with Nurse Joy Julian "It must be because we might have used the same kind of perfume, haha (awkwardugh)" Brock "Hmm, that might be a possibility" Julian "See, that definitely the reason ok bye" Julian doesn''t give even a chance for Brock to speak as he runs away from the gym disappearing from Brock''s sight. Chapter 9 - Mt Moon & Super Nerd As Julian runs out of the Pokemon gym he is greeted by a sound in his head "*ding* Host has sessfully defeated the pewter city pokemon gym leader. ?? reward - one ultra ball, 20000 Poke dors" Julian ''so I can earn money from defeating gym leaders, System is there any other way to earn money?'' System ''By working'' Julian facepalms himself and curses at the system for making him feel stupid ''well I should have asked the question properly, as it doesn''t have its own consciousness to read my thoughts'' Julian ''what I meant is there any way to earn money through the system'' System ''there is no other way, the host is required to defeat gym battles and win the pokemon league to earn money'' Julian ''well that''s a bummer but on the other hand, the reward is not bad at all and I even got an ultra ball even though I cannot use it right now maybe in future I can'' After figuring out the way Julin starts walking to the leave the Pewter city after walking for a 45 minutes time he finally makes it out of the city, then he sees an even longer and an empty road which will be his path for a day or more to reach the Cerulean city for his second gym battle he sighs and continues walking. Julian "This much walking will kill me one day, looks like I should get a bike to make traveling easier" And he starts heading towards Mt moon as he arrives there he sees a huge cave in front of him. Julian "isn''t this the ce where the moonstone is found, well I won''t be needing it so I don''t care, but I have to be careful there are lots of Zubats and Geodudes in this cave" As he starts to walk inside thisplex structure of a cave he gets lost ones or twice but gets back to the original root very easily while he is even attacked by groups of Zubats, Ivysaur and Chimchar get rid of them. After being in this mage like a cave for more than an hour he finally finds the exit but before he gets out he finds two very peculiar stones one has a shape like a snail shell on it and the other has a bulge shape like adybug, seeing this Julian gets very excited. Julian "Aren''t these the helix and dome fossils, haha lucky if I get the perfect person he can help me resurrect these into those rare fossil pokemons" "Hold it right there" Julian suddenly hears someone shouting behind him, he turns around and sees that its a guy with long ck hair with spectacles and very skinny ''who the heck is this guy" questions Julian to himself Stranger "Hey those are mine I found them first" Jin "Huh? you found it first then why didn''t you take them with you and what''s the proof that you found them first" Stranger "Of course I found them first, can''t you see this thin hand I am not strong enough to carry them like you so I brought this carrier with me to take it with me" Julian "well you see I have already found them and I will take them with me so bye" Stranger "Wait please don''t take them I have been searching for these fossils from my childhood" This strange guy suddenly goes on his knees and starts to cry with whipping the snot with his hand, seeing this Julian first feel disgusted then feels pity for him so he gives him a chance Julian "Talk" Stranger "Ah, thank you I am Super Nerd and search for rare fossils" Julian "Enough of the introduction talk about what you want" Nerd "Yes, let''s do a pokemon battle whoever wins will take the fossils with them, what do you say" Julian "Hoooo, ok I ept your challenge, how many pokemons?" Nerd "two" seeing Julian nod "Ok then, Voltorb go" Julian "Pidgey you are up" Nerd "Voltorb use spark" Julian "Pidgey dodge then use sand attack" Pidgey uses sand attack and blinds Voltorb vision "Now follow up with tackle then use gust to blow him away" Pidgey does as Julian says and then we see a flying ball blown away as it fainted Nerd "Voltorb noooooo" he looks at Julian "You have not won yet "Go Magnemite" Julian "Come back Pidgey you did great" he sends back Pidgey to its Pokeball "Go Chimchar, use scratch" Chimchar jumps off from his solder and attacks Magnemite with scratch Nerd "Maghemite dodge then you discharge" discharge sessfully hit Chimchar damaging him a little but its no use as Julian follows along Julian "Chimchar use fire spin and trap Magnemite inside, then finish it of with fury swipes" as Chimchar uses fire spin it traps Magnemite inside it creating rings of fire and then a secondter he is assaulted with barrage of fast fury swipes which have been perfected by Chimchar doing all the martial arts training he is doingtely and so Magnemite is also sent flying as he fainted. Julian "I won so I will be taking these fossils" he carries them and starts to walk away but when he sees Super Nerd super depressed and about to cry he feels pity and walks towards him Julian "Since you found these I will give you one" he takes out the helix fossil and ces it on Nerd''s carries Nerd seeing Julian giving him one of them he is very grateful and tries to hug Julian but Julian sends him flying with a kick saying "I am not gay". Julian "Since I gave you a fossil you answer my questions" Nerd stands up holding his stomach "Ask away" Julian "Do you know anyone who can revive this dome fossil" Nerd "If you go to Cinnabar Ind pokemonboratory you can revive it there" Julian "Ok then" Julian takes the Dome fossil and put it in his handy pouch and now he his finally out of Mt Moon. Julian "Next stop will be Cerulean city, are you ready Chimchar" Chimchar "Chimchar-char" he happily nods his head as they continue their journey. Chapter 10 - Cerulean City Julian after walks so much he is dead tired and finally, he can see Cerulean city. Julian "It was really a bad idea not to rest and continue walking, the first thing I am gonna do is to go and rest at the pokemon center" ?? "Chimchar?" Chimchar looks at Julian and is worried Julian "Don''t worry buddy just a little rest and I will be back to normal" After entering the city he directly heads to the pokemon center, he gives his pokemons to Nurse Joy and tells her to let them y till hees back, he rents a room and directly falls asleep after four hours of sleep he finally wakes up, he washes and then goes back to receive his pokemons, today he ns to roam around the city and visit the gym to see if there is a water show going on. He takes his Pokemons back and flirts with Nurse Joy a little, he walks out of the Pokemon center and walks around the city he visits the mall to restock the pokemon candies and some ingredients to prepare the pokemon food, as he passes many shops he sees a vehicle showroom. Julian "Should I really buy it I don''t know what to do, ahh fuck it I will think about itter" He heads towards the Cerulean gym and sees a huge crowd lined up to go inside the gym Julian "looks like my instinct was right they are performing a water show, let''s go and see how strong are the pokemons in this gym" Julian goes to the ticket counter and buys a ticket and then he joins the line, even though he had lots of experience and patience from the past life he still hated waiting in lines as few annoying people keeps pushing you left and right back and front, Julian gets really annoyed by this but decides to remain silent after 15 minutes of waiting in line he is finally inside the gym he takes a seat at the top right corner of the gym and sees three beautifuldies Julian remembered their name, they where Daisy, Violet, and lily aka The Sensational sisters with their pokemons respectively Luvdisc, Goldeen, Seaking, and a Seel Julian "This Pokemons are not too strong but they can be annoying if they go underwater and can be a real problem for Ivysaur, Chimchar is out of the question luckily I have Gyarados and he can take care of these pokemons easily" Julian sees around and finds Misty sitting at the corner and watching the show, and since he is not a pedo he looks back to the three older sisters Julian "Even though they are beautiful I don''t think I want to spend time with them, I wille tomorrow and get the Cascade badge" He waits until the show is finished and walks out of the gym while heading back to the Pokemon center he stops in front of the vehicle showroom again Julian "Ahhh, fuck it cannot walk for days just to travel from one ce to another" He walks into the showroom and starts looking for a bike ''well I think I will be traveling both on and off the road so speed doesn''t matter to me it justs needs a great suspension and durability, I think I should buy an off-road bike'' As he walks past one bike to another he sees the perfect one he needs (it looks like a DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1200 ENDURO) ''wow what a beautiful bike I should get it'' (no matter how old you are getting a new vehicle always excites one). Julian starts to look around and sees a saleswomaning towards him Saleswoman "sir how may I help you?" Julian "I want to buy this bike" The saleswoman sees the bike and smiles "Sir this bike will cost you 17000 poke dors" Hearing the price Julian heart bleeds but he has already taken a liking to this bike, hees to the conclusion that he will eventually get the money by defeating the Cerulean gym so he eventually decides to buy it Julian "Ok then I will buy this one" Hearing him confirm that he will buy it the saleswoman go and calls her manager. The manager is a middle age fat man who totally looks like a merchant that he is Manager "So its this young man who wants to buy the bike?" Julian "Yes indeed I really like this bike" Manager "You really have good eyes for liking this bike, its the best one we have here,e to my office lets do some paperwork" Julian follows the manager to his office along with the saleswoman when he enters he sees a dildo on the table which the saleswoman quick hides and blushes embarrassed, Julian was dumbfounded for a second as he feels the awkward atmosphere growing so he saves the day by quickly changing the subject Julian "Manager lets get the paperwork done quickly" The manager who was embarrassed and ring daggers at the saleswoman for not hiding the dildo beforeing suddenly snaps out by hearing Julian''s voice Manager "Ah yes yes let finish it quickly" And so the manager starts preparing the documents he takes Julian''s ID card which also acts as a credit card and hands over the documents and keys to Julian Manager "Customer you should go and register your vehicle at the police station Officer Jenny handles will do it for you" Julian "Ok then I will be going" The workers in the showroom prepare the bike for Julian and after everything is over he rids away to the police station Julian "Well I should not be surprised by that incident, as such rtions aremon, even though these things are not shone in the TVs of my previous world they are still humans driven by lust sex and money, geez they should have at least waited for the work hours to get over" Julian arrives outside the police station after a short while _____________ Officer Jenny''s POV Officer Jenny was sitting on the chair being bored and doing her makeup when suddenly she hears a bike sound stopping in front of the station she quickly puts her makeup essories inside her bag after a second she sees a very handsome young man walking towards her with a smile Jenny ''OMG HE IS SOO HOT'' Jenny "Hello, what''s your purpose of visiting the station? anyints?" Julian "Noins I am here to ask you for a date with me" Jenny ''what he wants to take me on a date, wow this is great he is super hot and if lucky I can finally have sex I have not had sex since a year since I break up with myst boyfriend well he couldn''t even satisfy me, I hope he can'' _______________ Back to Julian Julian, on the other hand, when sees her reaction of drooling with a fantasy going in her mind he is surprised to see that this officer Jenny is a pervert but he likes it as he won''t be alone tonight, but he decides to y with her a little. Julian "Haha, I am just Joking Officer Jenny I came here so that you could help me register my bike." Hearing Julian''s answer officer Jenny''s dream shattered and it looked like she lost her soul but she came back to her original self after sometimes as she is an experienced woman" Jenny though was little angry at Julian but didn''t show her emotions towards him Jenny "Tell me your vehicle registration number" After finishing all the formalities and now that the bike was legal to be ridden anywhere as Julian was about to leave he sees Jenny very disappointed Julian "Officer Jenny if you are interested the date offer still stands" Hearing his offer Jenny was tempted but she was on guard this time Jenny "this is not another joke isn''t it if it is I will arrest you and put you behind the bars" Julian "Of course not this is not a joke, I am being sincere about this" Seeing that Julian was serious she was also excited and agreed to it Jenny "Meet me here after 7 pm" And so Julian heads toward the pokemon center so that he can rest for a while before his date. Its 7 pm and Julian is outside the police station, Officer Jennyes out wearing a tight fit ck dress which highlights her curves body perfectly Julian "You look sexy," he says and grabs her waist and brings her closer to him and she felt like he was trying to kiss her but to her surprise "Come let''s go" he releases his grip and sits on his brand new bike, seeing that she gets yed again but doesn''t mind as she also sits behind him and starts to feel his muscr body with her hands and as the night goes by after their date they quickly rent a motel room and go inside as soon as they are in they start kissing each other as their tongues swirls in each others mouth, then Jenny gets on to her knees and unzip his pants and she is introduced by a 9 inches penis. Jenny "OMG, its big, but I like it" She says and starts licking it then she goes on sucking it whole until his tip touches her throat while doing so making a lot of slurping noises, Julian is really surprised seeing her go on his dick like that but he enjoys it, he grabs her head and thrusting it deeper almost choking her, he takes out his dick and carries her to the bed where he starts eating her pussy and after she squirts all over the ce he enters her cave giving her utmost pleasure, as the rooms were sound proof no sound is going outside but inside the room you can only hear Officer Jenny''s loud moans filled with pleasure, after the hot sex they go to sleep. Chapter 11 - That Gyarados Is Scary When Julian wakes up he finds himself alone on the motel''s bedroom, he looks at the desk and sees a note left behind, the note said as follow "Thank you forst night it was the best one I ever had, hope we meet again - Jenny" ?? Reading the note Julian just shakes his head ''these Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys have a very hard life they cannot have the life of an ordinary person being busy all day'' Julian "I better get ready and go and challenge the gym" Julian get ready and head out the receptionist sees him and smiles ear to ear, Julian seeing this knows that this receptionist knows that he and Jenny had some good time yesterday, but Julian didn''t mind it at all and smiled back at the receptionist and checks out of the motel as he walks out he sees his new bike and creases it with his hand affectionately, he climbs on it and head towards the gym as it being morning there was no show performance so he enters directly as he goes inside he sees three girls in bikiniying on the beach chairs( I don''t know what are these chair called ;p) sunbathing from the sunlight which is entering from the rood top, they where of course the three sensational sisters, when these sisters look at this direction to see who was visiting them so early all of them became love-struck by seeing Julian, they immediately got up from their chairs and walk towards him swaying their hips to attract his attention, Julian, on the other hand, was not effected by thier effort as all his previouse life experiancees in hand and he is no stranger to womens charm , and he didnt mind them showing their sexy side to him as it was still a feast to his eyes seeing befutiful women if front of him disying their charm. Daisy "What is the purpose of such a handsome young man to visit us? do you want our autographs?" Violet "if you are here for autographs we don''t do autographs but we canpromise if you spend some time with us" Lily "Yes we will definitely be happy to be apanied by such a handsome young man" They all take their time admiring Julian''s appearance and speak to him flirtatiously. Julian although likes being flirted by girls and vice-versa, he is not a damn pervert who always wants to get inside every woman he meets so he rejects their offer Julian "I really appreciate your offer but I am not here to get your autographs I am here to challenge you guys to a pokemon battle" Daisy "Oh, then that''s disappointing but we ept your challenge" Julian hearing this was surprised as they agreed to his challenge very fast, they weren''t easy going as in the anime Julian ''looks like they lost their confidence after being defeated by gray and other trainers from pallet town in the anime, but that incident will take ce after one month from now so they are in high spirit'' Julian "That''s great my name is Julian so let''s start the battle, what are the rules?" Daisy "You will battle all three of us sisters but each of us will only use one pokemon whereas you can you three pokemons, the first person whos all three pokemons are unable to battle loses" Julian "That''s fair let''s start" Julian goes and stands on his tform and his first opponent is Lily Lily "Hope you put up a challenge go Goldeen" she throws a Pokeball and a Goldeenes out of the Pokeball Julian "Don''t worry, Gyarados I choose you" When Lily hears what pokemon Julian will send she is already startled but when she sees an overgrown red Gyarados she starts to literally sweat but the sweat is suddenly washed by the water which sshed after Gyarados, Daisy and Violet suddenly started to get intimidated by seeing a giant Gyarados Lily "That Gyarados is huge, this is cheating" Julian "Cheating? , is there any rule that says not to use a Gyarados in a gym battle?" Julian asks with THAT smile Lily seeing his smile nearly forgot what she was saying but after seconds she gains her wits back Lily "No there is no such rule." she says in a low voice as if she was a mosquito Julian "Ok then lets start" Lily "Goldeen use Horn attack" Goldeen attacks Gyarados with horn attack but it was no use as Gyarados defense was way bigger than Goldeen''s attack Lily "Impossible" Julian "Gyarados send Goldeen flying with a tail whip" Gyarados simply waves his tail and sends Goldeen out of the water. Daisy "Goldeen is unable to battle Gyarados wins" Violet walks toward the battle stadium and exchanges ces with Lily Violet "I will be your next opponent, go Seaking" Julian "It''s a pleasure" Violet "Seaking use water pulse" Julian "Gyarados use water gun and deflect it" as water gun and water pulse shes under water huge waves are created in the water Julian "Gyarados now is the chance use headbutt and finish it off" As the water is still waving madly confusing Seaking she gets suddenly hit by a headbutt and is sent flying. Violet seeing this could not do anything and only grit her teeth Daisy "Seaking is not able to battle Gyarados wins" Daisy "Challenger Julian we don''t have any pokemon which is able to defeat your Gyarados so we will admit defeat" Daisy walks towards Julian and gives him the Cascade badge, Julian simply epted it has he had also prepared for this event if it urs as he knew these sisters hated losing in battles so they would directly admit defeat than lose in a pokemon battle that''s why they stopped epting challenges after Gary and other two trainers from pallet town defeated them in anime. This event was all seen by misty who was at the corner of the gym as she held her hands tightly and now was determined that she will be stronger so that they will not lose again such humiliatingly. Julian "Then I will be going then, but before that, I will say you this train you pokemons and yourself to be strong so that not any random person cane and defeat you so easily as I did or it will really hurt you little pride that you have" he says that and walks out of the gym. Back inside the gym, the three sisters are standing silently but something has changed in them due to today''s humiliating defeat they have be very determined. Julian, of course, new this as he purposely nted this seed inside them because he wanted them to be strong and give Gary a good fight, even though he was not really rted to Gary he had gotten closer to him in the time they spent together, so this was all so that Gary can gain some experience by having a good battle to start his journey, Julian didn''t care about others trainers from pallet town as he has never met them so he didn''t care if he had made it harder for them or not. Julian "Now I have my second badge I think I should go to the Cinnabar ind to resurrect the fossil, haha just thinking about the Kabuto and then it evolving into Kabutops gets me excited, Kabutops has a very strong defense and what''s scary about them are there speed and attack power, well Kabuto isn''t week even its attack and defense are really high and in water I think there are not many pokemons that can match its speed" Julian hops on his bike and heads of to the near seaport. Chapter 12 - Cinnabar Island After reaching the seaport he boards the ship heading to Cinnabar Ind with his bike because he could not afford to leave it here so that someone else could take care of it, the ship was filled with many people and pokemon alike soon Julian got bored as nothing of interest fell in his eyes he went inside the ship into a room to rest a little, there was also a telephone inside his room so he called Professor Oak Oak "Julian how are you doing" ?? Julian "I am fine Professor Oak, I was heading to Cinnabar Ind" Oak "Cinnabar Ind? why are you heading there?" Julian takes out the Dome fossil and shows it to Professor Oak, seeing the fossil professor Oak jumps off of his seat and stick he face on the screen Oak "Is that a rare Pokemon fossil" Julian "You are right its a dome fossil and if I am correct it''s from a pokemon called Kabuto, so I am going to Cinnabar Ind to resurrect it, I heard that they can resurrect ancient fossils there" Oak "You are indeed right Cinnabar Ind has one of best minds in the field of pokemon research, even one of my students work there, I will inform him about you, he may be of help" Julian "Thank you, Professor" Oak "It''s not a problem and Gary will be starting his journey next week till then you will be able to reach Cinnabar Ind" Julian "Ok then give my regards to Gary" The screen switches off and heys down on the bed Julian "It''s going to be a very long week" and he proceeds to doze off. One week passes and Julian is bored but luckily he has just arrived at Cinnabar Ind he wastes no time as he directly heads towards the Pokemon research facility when he arrives there he is greeted by a man wearing a whiteb coat and brown hair. Julian "Hello you must be Professor Oak''s student that he mentioned?" Oak''s Student "Yes that is me, My name is Tad, Professor Oak said to me that you will be arriving here and you brought even a fossil to be resurrected" Julian "Yes, so can we go and do it right now?" Tad "Yes, yes I am also very excited too,e let''s go inside as I show you around" Julian goes inside and sees many Pokemons being observed by scientists and running some experiments on them which were not harmful, the pokemons looked very happy here as there were many ces suitable for their growth here as they look around they finallye in front of a steel door. Tad "Come in this is the main workshop where all the mainb equipment and the machine for the resurrection is ced" Julian walks inside and sees a huge room with many different types of machines and many scientists operating in them. Tad "Come this way this is where the resurrection machine is ced" He brings Julian in front of a machine which looked like the upper half was a ss capsule and the lower half had wires which connected to a small tform. Julian "So this is the machine which can resurrect a fossil" Tad "Yes, so why don''t you take out your fossil so that we can start it right away" Julian takes out the Dome fossil from his pouch and gives it to Tad, Tad carefully takes the fossil and ce it on the small tform, seeing this some of the scientists where attracted and came over to help as not many fossilse as they see it only ones or twice a year and even that is very rare, as the machine does the process of extracting and copying the DNA the scientist watch and observe the process Tad "Julian this will take a day to bepletely resurrected so why don''t you go and explore the town" When Julian was about to just leave Tad''s assistant came running and handed him a report, seeing the report he frowned, seeing this Julian became curious Julian "What happened Professor Tad?" Tad hesitated for a second and then said "The volcanos in the Ind has been rising in temperature but there are no signs of the eruption and we can''t find a logical exnation for this" Hearing this Julian thought of going and checking out the volcanos and train Chimchar there as it will be helpful and may even help him evolve Julian "Ah, so that''s the reason, I will be going Professor Tad, I wille by tomorrow" As Julian was walking towards the volcano to check it out he was interrupted by a man wearing a sunsses and long beard, Julian knew this man was ine the gym leader of the Cinnabar gym. ine "What do people thick is Hot and cool at the same time?" Listening to his question Julian gets dumbstruck and then he suddenly remembers that this man in front of him loves to give riddles to random pokemon trainers Julian simply gives some random answer as he was still thinking about the volcanos he said "Volcano" ine "Oh you are correct, you are a sharp one young man" Julian seeing his answer was correct nearly faints ''what the fuck old man of all the things it could be its a fucking volcano'' Julian curses in his head ine "I really hate these tourists they have made this peaceful ind andmercial market, I really miss the old days where trainerse to battle here" Julian just stays silent ine "Anyways this is my card visit this ce whenever needed" Julian sees the card and it was a card with an Inn''s name seeing this Julian almost blew up ''what the fuck old man first you said you hated tourists now you give me an Inn card, what the fuck is wrong with you'' even though these thoughts were going on his head he was as calm as an ice on the outside. ine "Then I will be going," he said and ran of disappearing from the site Julian just stood there for a second then he put the card in his pocket and headed towards the volcano, after reaching the volcano he brings out Chimchar from his Pokeball, Chimchares out and feels his surroundings and feels really good as he observes heat from the surroundings. Julian "Buddy lets go inside and do some investigation then lets train here" Chimchar "Chimchaaaarr-charrr" nods his head happily Julian walks around the volcano then goes inside, he can seeva everywhere inside, if he missteps and fall down he will be roasted in the hot magma after spending almost two hours inside the volcano he couldn''t find anything inside the volcano so he was about to leave when he suddenly misstepped on the edge and the edge cracked ''Shit'' As Julian was falling down he quickly grabbed Chimchar andtched onto a ledge as he was hanging he saw a cave and got queries Julian "Buddy hold on tight," He said and started to move towards the cave by slowly grasping on to the ledges which were sticking out, thanks to him being in the army in his past life he has done training in every aspect which is helpful for survival and wall climbing was one of them, as he reaches the cave he climbs inside and feels the heating from inside so he walks inside and after walking for few minutes he sees a big red rock Julian "It''s a magma rock, if a magma rock is here then, shit" Julian quickly jumps from his ce and dodges the fire spin which blew up his previous standing position when Julian sees the Pokemon that attacked his he bes excited Julian "Yes a Heatran and it looks like it''s still not fully grown, I will definitely catch it, System disy its stats to me" _________________ Status- Heatran level - 15 HP - 90 Attack - 90 Defense - 100 Sp.

After receiving the attack Heatran attack with fire spin Julian "Chimchar dodge and use closebat again" This continues for some while and Heatran is getting irritated now he suddenly uses magma storm and it his Chimchar and sends him crashing towards the magma rock Julian "Chimchar are you ok?" Julian is worried as Chimchar lies on the floor, but Chimchar slowly stands up but something is different his surrounding starts to get hot as his eyes be red the fire on his butt grows thrice its size as Chimchar being very prideful and hates to lose but he actually got hurt by a fire-based move which he excels in this made him really angry, Julian seeing this is now a little worried but more excited Julian ''ze, that great that''s what I need, but first I have to get him under control'' Chimchar in ze form use fire spin and attacks Heatran send him back, seeing that the situation might get out of control Julian interrupted Julian "CHIMCHAR" he shouts Hearing him get called Chimchar turns and sees Julian but turns back again and was ready to attack Julian "Chimchar if you lose control again I will be really disappointed" Hearing Julian Chimchar turns back and looks into his eyes after staring each other for some time it looks like Chimchar got himself in control and the ze is still going, then he looks at Julian and Nods telling him that it''s under perfect control. Suddenly Chimchar starts to glow and gets bigger he grows a tail and his arms be thick as it evolves into Monferno Julian ''Finally he evolves into an excellent Monferno. system show stats'' ___________________ Status - Monferno level - 15 HP - 70 Attack - 100 Defense - 70 Sp.

Heatran again uses fire spin Julian "Dodge then use closebat" due to him evolving and in the ze, the attacks are now way heavy and powerful and Heatran is now put in a very vulnerable position Julian "Monferno send him flying using focus punch with an uppercut" as Monferno takes the stance his right hand glows with power collecting in it and he delivers it straight to the chin of Heatran and sends him flying in the air Julian "Now finish him of using focus st" Monferno again takes a stance and concentrates and collects energy in between his had as a yellow ball of energy forms and he sends it rampaging towards Heatran after that followed by a huge boom sound Heatran falls on the ground unable to battle. Julian quickly throws his Pokeball and captures it and wait in anticipation as the Pokeball shakes left and right and after few seconds the Pokeball stops and makes a sound meaning that it is sessfully caught, seeing that he has caught an ancient pokemon he is really excited, Julian walks towards Monferno and hugs himughing Julian "Buddy we did it, we caught Heatran and I am very proud of you, you were able to control your self" Monferno "Monferrrrnoooo" he is very happy and proud of himself as well. Julian picks up the Heatran Pokeball and brings him out when Heatranes out he sees Julian smiling at him Julian "Heatran from today onwards you are part of my team, I will help you grow stronger" Heatran nods his head agreeing to Julian as even he wants to be strong as it''s their nature, he then looks at the magma rock followed by Julian, Julian walks near the magma rock and confirms it is the reason for the increase of temperature of the volcano he picks up his pouch and opens it and face it towards the rock and it sucks it whole, Julian looks at Heatran. Julian "Let''s take the magma rock with us" Seeing that Julian is going to bring the magma rock along with them he is very happy. Monferno also greets him and epts him as part of the team, Julian then returns Monferno and Heatran back to there pokeballs, as of now Monferno has grown used to staying in Pokeball and now was okay with staying inside the Pokeball making it much easier for Julian. Julian "As of now I have five pokemons, let''s get back to the city" and he heads back to the city leaving behind the volcano as it drops to its original temperature. Chapter 13 - The Pokemon Mansion While Julian is walking along the road exploring the ind and visiting ces, but he was annoyed that he couldn''t find anyce to stay as so many touristse here that the hotels, inns and even the pokemon center are full, Julian had no other choice to go to ine''s Inn which was located near the volcano, so he decided to go there at night after exploring the city. Julian "If I am right this is the Ind where Mewtwo was created by team rocket''s scientist, I think it should go and search, maybe I could find something" ?? Julian rides around the Ind and finally finds an abandoned mansion at the outskirts of the Ind Julian "I think this is the ce" Julian walks inside the mansion to find nothing but silence, he sees there are two staircases one leading to the top and another to the basement. Julian "Let me first check the upper floors then go to the basement" He starts climbing the stairs and reaches the first floor, on the first floor there is nothing but empty rooms witch dust covered everywhere, he then starts to walk towards the second floor and he finds a group of Koffing seeing Julian they just run away not wanting to confront him he searches this floor and only finds some useless documents, as he explores the other floors he finds a Ditto but it escapes bay disguising as some random pokemon, Julian is disappointed as he didn''t find any ghost or dark type pokemons as they could be very useful to him, he was expecting to find at least one in this abandoned building but it was no use. Julian "There are no ghosts pokemons but even if there was I don''t have any pokemons which can stop them, well let''s go down and see what the basement holds" Julian walks down and finally reaches the basement, he sees manyb apparatus, he starts to search and find some documents about pokemon gics but they were not very useful, seeing that there where no useful information he frowns Julian "I am hundred percent sure that this was the ce where Mewtwo was created but seeing thisb it just looks like a normal research facility but this documents about pokemon gics prove otherwise, Yes maybe there is a secret passage some were" Julian starts to search every nook and croony and atst, he finds a side of the wall which looks like its hollow from the other side. Julian "Monfernoe out, Monferno break this wall by using focus punch" Monferno breaks the wall and as expected there is actually a stare case behind the broken wall he sends back Monferno and starts going down after walking for a minute he finally reaches the end and in front of him is a steel door which blocks his path. Julian "well that was a long way down and now I have to go through this door, luckily I have Heatran" Julian calls out Heatran and tells him to melt the steel door in front of them Heatran follows the instruction by blowing very hot fire which easily melts the steel door Julian "Good job Heatran now go and rest" He sends Heatran back and starts to look around, he sees many types ofb equipment which are very advanced and in the middle of theb he sees a huge ss container filled with some liquid and thick wires sticking out. Julian "Finally found it so this is the container where Mewtwo was made, even though they abandoned the ce they left many machines still here and it looks like they are still operatable" He walks around and checks if he could find any information and he does even though its not the whole it can be considered half of it, the documents were titled as project Mewtwo where it specified the gical modification process of Mew to Mewtwo, seeing this he frowns. Julian "If they have abandoned this ce and the project was sessful why to leave this documents here aren''t they afraid that someone might find this ce and steal this information" He takes the documents and puts it in his pouch and he starts to inspect the equipment and when he checks them he frowns Julian "Why are some machines still hot it looks like someone has been here before and is using the equipment" He suddenly hears a click sound he quickly hides behind a machine and sees a wall on the other side slowly opening Julian ''An another secret door'' And after the wallspletely opens an old manes in wearing a whiteb coat, Julian has never seen this man but has some clues why he is here, he silently calls out Ivysaur and tells him to be quiet, when the old man enters and sees the molten door he starts to panic but it was toote. Julian seeing the opportunity takes quick action "Ivysaur use vine whip and tie him up" Hearing a voiceing from behind the old man turns but he is already in the grasp of Ivysaur''s vine whips, the old man struggles to get out but is useless, he res at Julian angrily Old man "Who the fuck are you and why are you here?" Julian "Chill Old man I think you don''t get the situation you are in now, let me clear it for you, you are my hostage now and I am the only one allowed to question" Julian says this and walks towards the old man who is still struggling, he gets close to him and smiles and after that Julian takes away his pokeballs and a taser which was in his back pocket, after going through everything and finally confirming that this old man has no other way of escaping he chops the back of his head and makes him unconscious, he sends Ivysaur back to his Pokeball, then he takes out a rope from his pouch and starts to tie up the old man and throws him at a corner and starts to make some preparation before he wakes up. After one hour the old man finally wakes up and sees that he is still tied up and Julian is sitting in front of him on a chair smiling, seeing that smile the old man gets creeps down to his spine as if that the Divel was smiling at himself. Julian "So let''s get straight to the point, what''s your name?" The old man thought it will be not a good experience if he lies to Julian Old man "My name is John" Julian "So John are you a member of team rocket?" John was now very scared as this man knew that he was a part of team rocket, he hesitated to answer but he suddenly felt a lot of pain through his entire body as if electric shock was passed through it, John got back to reality and saw that Julian was holding two pliers in his hand and electric sparks whereing out of it, John knew that he was now just electrocuted Julian "Old John I am not a very patient man and I don''t like people telling me any lie, so if you hesitate or lie about anything I will electrocute you will a level increase every time"Julian said with a cold face, seeing this cold face John thought he has seen a demon, not even his old boss looks that scary so he started answering John "Yes I was a member of team rocket, but I fled from them" Julian "Why did you do that" Johan "After my teammates finished modifying Mew''s genes into Mewtwo, he not only didn''t even gave us what he had promised but also locked my teammates in the main headquarters to rot and die, only a few people know about this experiment in the headquarters including me so I stole all the data from them and ran away" Julian took out the documents he had and showed it to John "Is this the only information you have?" John hesitated but didn''t want to get electrocuted again so he chooses to spit it all out. John "No that only the outside Information about the project I have all the information stored here in the mainputer" Julian "So what were you trying to do with this stolen Information" John "Of course I want to restart the project and be rich and powerful" Julian "Ok enough of that switch on theputer and lets me ess through it" Julian unties John and takes him towards the mainputer, John quickly opens theputer and it over to Julian, as soon as that happens Julian again makes him unconscious, he then browse through all the information about project Mewtwo, he also finds much Information about team rocket itself, he copies all the file into a drive and puts it in his pouch and leaves the mansion and the unconscious John before deleting all the information present on theputer. Julian looks back at the mansion, sighs and leave Julian "No matter which world you are in there will always be people driven by greed and riches, and it was good that this John was old so he didn''t resist too much or I would have had to use those torturing methods I learned in my old days during the time I was in the army". Chapter 14 - Third Gym Battle It''s evening and Julian is outside ine''s Inn, he had no choice toe here as it was the only ce he could stay, he walks in to see that that there is no one there only an empty hallway, Julian didn''t mind and just walk inside he was then greeted by the sight of an olddying towards him Olddy "You man are you hear to stay" ?? Julian "Yes I would like to rent a room" Olddy "Follow me, young man" Julian followed as the olddy brought him to a traditional Japanese style room and left, Julian entered the room kept his belongings and sat on the corridor, he brings out his pokemons as he instructs them to train by themselves for a little he calls Heatran and teaches him how to control his powers properly and use it with efficiency after that he started to meditate to calm his mind after some time he headed to the hot springs with all his pokemons and rests there for some time Julian "Should I go and challenge ine now? I think I should, in the morning he won''t there as he roams around the ind all day then let''s get ready" Julian stands up wears his dress calls back his pokemons and Jumps to the other side of the hot spring, luckily no one was here as this part was for women, he walks near the Gyarados statue and pushes it down causing the ground to shake and a hue bolder started to move to revile a passage. Julian "Well that''s the way, I should hurry up and finish this tomorrow I have to collect the Dome fossil which I hope turns into a perfect Kabuto" He goes inside the passage and after some time, he reaches the end and sees a pokemon battlefield and on it another corner ine in his disguise ine "I didn''t expect that you will be able to find the Gym without me giving you any riddle" Julian "I just happened to stumble upon that statue" ine "You are in luck as I of the gym leader of this gym," he says and removes his beard and wig and exposes his bald head" Julian just stays silent seeing this ine "Are you not even surprised that I am the gym leader? hey you are no fun" Julian "Why should I be surprised, first you give me your inn''s address, then there is a battlefield inside a volcano which is near your gym and then you right hear standing before me, anyone could figure it out, if they cant they are idiots" ine "Ah, I see you are a smart man then let''s start the battle, but first the rules, we both will be using three pokemons each you the challenger can switch your pokemons in middle of the battle, the first person to have all his pokemon unable to battle loses" Julian "Ok let''s go" ine "You better be ready I am not an easy opponent, go Nails" Julian "Monferno I choose you" ine "Fighting fire with fire I see, Nails use quick attack" Julian seeing Nails move is impressed ''this Nail is fast but Monferno is way faster'' Julian "Monferno dodge then use fire spin" Monferno easily dodges Nails and follows with a fire spin sending Nails back with some damage but not fully extreme as it is still resistant to fire type moves ine "Your Monferno is both fast and powerful looks like you are a very good trainer" Julian "Thanks for the praise" he nods ine "Nails use methrower" the methrower hits Monferno but he stands his ground and faces the iing methrower, at first he is being pushed back but after a few seconds he has it under control andpletely stops the methrower. Julian "Monferno BLAZE" As soon as Julian gives themand the surrounding temperature starts to rise as the fir on Monferno''s tail growsrger and red firey energy start to surround his body, ine seeing this bes alerted but its no use Julian "Monferno get behind Nails and use focus punch" as soon as he hears themand Monferno disappears from his ce and next appears above Nails back and delivers a powerful focus punch to the back of Nails head sending her down crashing due to ze Monferno''s power and speed has be double. ine "Nails try to dodge" Julian "Don''t give a chance continue by using closebat with focus punches" next Nails is hit with a barrage of kicks and powerful focus punches putting Nails to the ground, after being hit by so many continues focus punches she struggles to get us Julian "Let''s finish this focus st" Monferno takes the stance and creates a powerful ball of energy and sends it towards Nails causing an explosion and rising dust after the dust is cleared Nails is seen on the ground fainted, ine couldn''t do anything and he calls his Nails back to her Pokeball. ine "Your Monferno is way stronger than I expected but you still haven''t won the battle, Go Rhydon" Julian "Monfernoeback" he calls Monferno back to his Pokeball ine "Not going to use your Monferno?" Julian "No he has done a great job and now he needs to rest, go Ivysaur" ine "Ivysaur huh, Rhydon ready, use horn drill" Rhydones running towards Ivysaur with a spinning horn. Julian "Dodge then use razor leaves" ine "Quickly block those razor leaves with your back" as Ivysaur uses razor leaves Rhydon turns his back and blocks it with his back as the razor leaves bounce away but Julian just smile seeing this as now Rhydon is very vulnerable now as he cannot see what will the opponent do Julian "Ivysaur this is the chance use vine whip and pull his leg" Ivysaur pulls Rhydon''s leg and Rhydones crashing down belly first to the ground. Julian "Now leech seed" A small seed is shot at Rhydon whichtches onto him and drains his power ine "Rhydon noooooo" Julian "finish it of energy ball" Rhydon faints and is unable to battle after being hit by energy ball so ine calls him back ine "Looks like all your pokemons are very good at fighting" Julian "It should be expected of them as I personally train with them and help theme over their weakness" ine "You have won and defeated my two pokemons but myst one is not a pushover,e out" As he says this theva under the battlefield starts to bubble up in a certain area as a Magmares rushing out of theva and stands on the battlefield. Julian "Ivysaur return, Your Magmar looks impressive but I have a surprise for you,e out Heatran" Seeing Heatran ine is shocked as he has never seen this kind of pokemon ever ine "What pokemon is that?" Julian "Its a Heatran and it leaves deep in the volcanos it fire is way hotter than any normal fire" ine "I see a perfect pokemon to battle in this type of battlefield" Jin "let''s get started, Heatran use Ancient power" using ancient power Heatran all stats rise by 10% Julian "Now use earth power" by using earth power Magmar is surrounded and he feels like his defense has been lessened use is the exact effect of earth power. in sees this and is confused about what happened, Julian being ''very kind'' exins what happened Jin "By using earth power the opponent''s defense will get lowered by 10%" Hearing Julian exnation ine clinches his fist, but he doesn''t give up ine "Magmar use tackle" Jin "Heatran run towards the edge and cling on to the outer walls under the battlefield" Heatran quickly dodges Magmar tackle and run down the edge disappearing from the sight of both ine and Magmar, Magmar knowing that it can be attacked in any direction is on alert ine "Magmar stay alert" Magmar turns around to check the other surroundings to find Magmar but it made a fatal mistake Heatran had never moved from its ce and was right in front of Julian''s eyes, seeing Magmar turn his back Julian quickly gave themand. Julian "Now Heatran iron head" Heatran quickly ran up and delivered a heavy iron head to the back of Magmar before it could do anything, Magmar was sent flying and crashed on one of the pirs in the volcano. ine "Magmar get up quickly" as Magmar was struggling to get up Jin "Heatran lets finish this use magma wave" as Heatran focused arge amount of hot magma surrounded him and even the magma in the volcano joined it as itunched it towards Magmar which went like a raging tsunami ofva crashing on Magmar breaking multiple pirs and melting few along the way, ine seeing this move was shocked to the core, even Julian was surprised by the power of magma storm as he thought ''luckily Heatran didn''t know how to control his energy when we caught him or Monferno would have been hurt really badly, thanks to me telling Heatran how to control his power have drastically improved the power of the move way beyond, even though its still not perfect after some rigorous training Heatran will have full control over his power'' After a second the view is cleared as they see that Magmar is nted on the wall of the volcano fainted. ine "Julian that pokemon and itsst move is ridiculously strong, haha it been such a long time science I have been defeated and being defeated by such a strong opponent is an honor, Magmar you did great return". He returns Magmar back to its Pokeball and walks towards Julian and gives him the Volcano badge, Julian takes the badge and looks at Heatran Julian "Look this is the symbol of our first victory together and we will grow more powerful together Heatran "Raaaaaaaan" Heatran roars happily nodding his head. After saying his goodbye to ine he goes back to the Inn and goes to sleep. Chapter 15 - Kabuto Julian woke up very early in the morning due to the environment, his old house was same as this one and feeling a lot like the home he also woke up early as a habit, he checked outside to find a beautiful rainbow and dewdrops in the grass due to the early morning moister of the morning he stretched out and brought out his pokemons to y and train a little, after the morning training and exercise they had their food and they soaked themselves in the hot springs. Julian "I should soon visit the research center I don''t know how long will Kabuto take to resurrect, this day is so peaceful I hope I don''t encounter any trouble today" ?? Julian gets up and gets ready to head out to the research center, he wears his usual ck coat and rides towards the Pokemon research center, when he reaches there he his visited by Tad Tad "Julian you are just in time, the resurrection is about to beplete" Julian gets excited and runs towards theb with professor Tad as the beach they see a group of researchers/scientist surrounding the fossil which is glowing Julian walks to it and stands in front of the fossil waiting for Kabuto to appear and after few minutes his waiting is finished as the glowing dim down Julian and the group is visited by a sight of a small brown shell with four tiny legs and red glowing eyes under the shell, Julian is happy that the resurrection was a sess Julian ''System disy Kabuto''s stats'' __________________ Stats - Kabuto Level - 1 HP - 30 Attack - 60 Defense - 80 Sp. Atk - 55 Sp. Def - 45 Speed - 55 Move set - harden, scratch. ___________________ Julian ''It looks like it is also very healthy'' Kabuto whenes to life he sees a group of people staring at him which makes him feel uneasy but when he sees Julian he calms down as he thinks that Julian feels familiar to him even though he has seen this person for the first time. Julian "Look at you, you look worried but don''t worry I am here" Hearing Julian talk to him he doesn''t know what he said but he felt like Julian will protect him so he gets happy and like a baby jumps and cling on to Julian''s arm, Julian gets started by the sudden development but calm downs and creases Kabuto''s back Tad "Julian looks like Kabuto really likes you" Julian "Yes he does" Tad "Good for you, but you should take care of him properly as he is still like a baby and doesn''t know much about the world" Julian "Don''t worry Professor Tad I will take good care of him but first I will take him to the seashore so that he can get used to the sea" Tad "Ok then take care" Julian picks up Kabuto from his hand and puts him on his head, Kabuto being put on Jin''s head feels reallyfortable and suddenly falls asleep, Julian seeing this could not do anything and lets him sleep there, it also looked like Julian was wearing a beret hat. Julian hops on his bike and rides away to the nearest seashore when he reaches there he releases his pokemon to y on the beach, he also release Gyarados into the sea Julian "Gyarados you can now finally swim freely but don''t wonder of far away" Gyarados nods his head happily and dives deep into the sea, feeling the cool sea breeze Kabuto wakes up to see a huge body of never ending water, Kabuto likes the feeling and crawls dawn Julian and goes near the shore to touch the water after touching the water he feels very happy and starts to y in the water, Julian''s other pokemons seeing Kabuto gets curious and walks towards him, seeing so many unknown creaturesing towards him he gets scared and runs back towards Julian and climbs on top of his head hiding, seeing this Julian suddenlyughs, he picks up Kabuto from his head and faces it towards his rest of the pokemons Julian "Kabuto you don''t have to worry they are just like your friends they are a family" Hearing Julian reassuring him he once again climbs down and looks at his other pokemons and they all greet him smiling, Kabuto seeing that they are not so scary as he thought he walks towards them and clings on to each of them as if he is saying hello to them. Julian "Kabuto there is still someone who you should meet, Gyaradoses out" When Kabuto sees the sea water rising and a huge red dragon-like creaturees out of the water he gets scared again and runs towards Julian again. Julian "You don''t have to get scared Kabuto he is also your friend, he can take you to a ride under the sea, won''t you Gyarados?" Gyarados nods his head agreeing to Julian, seeing Gyarados nodding his head friendlily to him Kabuto slowly climbs down from Julian and crawls slowly towards Gyarados and slowly crawls on to his back then towards the head, after reaching the top and seeing the world from so high up gets him very excited then Gyarados suddenly starts moving as it dives underwater, Kabuto clings on to his head and closes his eyes and after a second he feels water on his body giving his a very nice feeling he opens his eyes to see many different types of pokemons beautiful sea nts and many fascinating things he feels like he is in an amusement park after looking around for some time Gyarados resurface to let Kabuto back to Julian, Kabuto quickly gets down of Gyarados and runs towards Julian happily, Julian picks up Kabuto and puts him on his head Julian "Kabuto did you like the sea" Hearing Julian question Kabuto happily starts to dance on Julian''s head. Julian "Pidgeye lets train for a while lets see how strong you have got fromst time?" Julian ''System disy Pidgey''s stats'' __________________ Stats - Pidgey Level - 17 HP - 60 Attack - 70 Defense - 50 Sp. Atk - 75 Sp. Def - 60 Speed - 100 Move set - tackle, sand attack, gust, quick attack, whirlwind __________________ Julian ''Pidgey is still weakpared to my other pokemons but he is still in his first form after he evolves his powers will rise drastically'' Julian "Pidgey lets learn how to do an air cutter today" Pidgey "peeee" Julian "Ok first you have to concentrate keep and cal mind and focus, collect your energy in your wings and when you think its sufficient release it in form of sharp des" Pidgey understanding what he has to do starts practicing to learn air cutter at first try he fails but he continues doing, Julian just stands there as he watches his pokemon battle with each other and train. Far away from Julian above the Pokemon Mansion was a Jet and inside it was the unconscious John and the elite members of the team rocket the Metrix, one of them is a woman with sses she was Matori and another one is a bulky dude they are the main team members and the others where ordinary team members, they where all wearing ck suit and the woman with sses and the bulky man were staring at the screen where Giovanni was looking at them with a frown Giovanni "Are you sure that he doesn''t have the information on him?" Matori "No sir when we arrived he was already unconscious and when we checked the main server there was no information" she hesitated for a second and continue, "I think that someone broke into theboratory by melting the locked door and took the information and left John unconscious and looking at John he was exposed to minor electricity voltages, It looks like he was forced to give the information out" Giovanni "For now bring that bastard John to me and don''t investigate this matter any further" Matori "Roger" And so the screen turns off Bulky man "What do you think this information is about?" he looks at Matori and asks but Matori just shakes her head Woman "I don''t know what this information is about and it is very ssified information, only a few high-rank members know about this, only if we were higher ranked we would have ess to it, let''s forget about it now and go back and let boss take care of the rest" The jet''s engine starts and the Jet disappears as they head back to their headquarters. Chapter 16 - Trouble In The Sea Julian not knowing what happened at the pokemon mansion is still training his pokemons at the beach, Kabuto has already learned how to swim properly and is quickly gaining control and understanding of its powers, Pidgey after practicing his wind cutter for more than five hours has finally able to perform it, it still needs some polishing but it is powerful and Pidgey has finally leveled up and is ready to evolve he just needs a perfect moment. As Julian was about to finish his training session today he hears a sound in his head ?? ''*ding* system is ready for an update, asking for the host permission for the system to enter update state'' Julian ''what are the advantages of an update'' System ''system can store an infinite amount of information in it, System can disy fore information about a pokemon by scanning it'' Julian ''then go to update state'' System ''*ding* received permission, going into update state, the system will be switched off for 2 days'' Julian ''two days huh? well I was thinking of leaving the ind and continue my journey, lets first rap things up here'' After finishing everyone''s training he sends them back to their pokeballs and rides to the pokemon center to retrieve them back to their full healthy condition, after leaving them at the pokemon center he went and checked if there are any ships or ferry leaving the ind today but to his disappointment there were none and all of them where tomorrow so he decided to just take a break today and visited some tourist attractions after enjoying his day he returned back to the pokemon center to receive back his pokemons, Kabuto still not having his own Pokeball he directly went and clinging onto Julian''s head and directly went to sleep. As the day went by the next morning Julian went to the port and bought tickets of a ship which was very expensive as it was a luxury ship that is directly going to the vermillion city as he thinks of challenging Lt. Surge for his next gym battle, as he had got a lot of money by defeating ine he didn''t think about it much but it''s going to be a long journey as it will take eight days to reach Vermillion city, he boarded the ship to see many different types of people and pokemon alike, there was even arge ying area for the pokemons, a ce to battle, he went inside to check and he saw movie theaters, bowling ball area, billiards and pool area, and many beautifuldies. Julian ''Looks like this returning journey will be very good'' it was not only Julian checking out the women some single and beautiful women where also checking his out as he is a high-level chick ma it not only been an hour on the ship and he was greeted by many young and beautiful women, as he is a gentleman he would never say no to ady and had some drinks with many of them, but he didn''t get high because of his super high alcohol tolerance (gift from God), some of them even wanted to call him at night to their room but seeing sodies talking to him they couldn''t do anything and just shake their head and hope that he finds them fancy. Julian decided to catch Kabuto and Kabuto didn''t put on any resistance as he went inside the Pokeball. As the ship was sailing Julian was in the movie theater at the corner with a woman with a blond hair and very tight fitting dress as she was sucking on his cock while he was ying with her pussy and watching the movie simultaneously, the other women who where also trying to court Julian if sees this would get very jealous of this blond woman whose name is Alice, but luckily one of the women who was on the group saw her sucking his huge cock so vigorously couldn''t help but get horny herself and started to masturbate, as Julian worked his magic with his fingers he made Alice cum several times and he finally released his huge load in her mouth which she took it all in as they were about to proceed to the next step they get interrupted by an explosion outside Julian "Baby, looks like we have to stop here" Alice "But we were getting to the good part," she said in a disappointed voice Julian "Don''t worry after checking out what happened outside we will get into a room and continue where we left" Alice just nods as he tidies her dress and puts on some lipstick and perfume, Julian also put on his pants after wiping it off with a tissue and put on some deodorant as they walk out of the theater to see people panicking and running everywhere seeing this Alice gets worried but seeing Julian head to the ce where the sound came from she decides to follow him. When they reach outside they see the captain of the team standing worriedly there and looking at a group of people around them, Julian walks towards the ship captain Julian "Captian who are these people" Julian, of course, knew that they were the cause of the explosion but didn''t know what they want Caption "We are sorry esteem guests but we are surrounded by a bunch of pirate ships and they have taken few of the people in the ship hostage" Julian "How did they take them, hostage" Captain "When we where sailing early we rescued a group of people who had their boat broken but who knew that it was a n from the beginning to salvage our ship" Julian "I see, Alice follow me," he said and walk inside the ship again Alice "weren''t you going to help them?" she asks him confusingly as she didn''t know what he was up to Julian "Of course I am going to help" he goes at top of the ship and brings out Pidgey Julian "Pidgey you see those people fly high in the sky so they don''t notice you then use wind cutter to attack them and quickly free those hostages that they have tied up" Pidgey "peeeeee" Pidgey flies up in the air and swiftly goes behind the pirates who are on the ship threatening the captain to hand over all the money and expensive stuff and so they clearly forgot about checking the surroundings and the pirates on their ships surrounding the luxury ship didn''t even notice a small Pokemon like Pidgey to warn them, as the Pirates were forcing the captain to obey them they didn''t expect as numerous wind cutter wearunched at them sending them flying and another wave of wind cutters came this time cutting the ropes of the hostages, as soon as they where free they quickly ran away inside the ship, the pirates struggled and got up and turns back to see a Pidgey flying behind them Pirate 1 "Who is that bastard that attacked me" he shouted but there was no response Julian "Pidgey return" but when the pirate saw Julian call back Pidgey back he confirmed that it was Julian Pirate 2 "Brat are you tired of living, Tentacruel attack that brat using acid" Julian "Ivysaure out, dodge then use leach seed then use energy ball to finish him off" As soon as Ivysaures out he dodges the acid attack then uses leach seed as it is a grass type move it is very effective against Tentacruel and drains half of his power and put him in a state of paralysis then it is followed by a very powerful energy ball which has be more powerful after polishing and practicing the move day and night send Tentacruel flying andnds at the sea, seeing his strongest pokemon sent flying so easily the pirate gets cold feet and its not only him even the other three of his friends could not believe it but they still didn''t give up Pirate 2 "Brat your pokemon is indeed strong but unfortunately, you all are surrounded in all four directions and no matter what you cannot escape. Julian "You are talking about those four ships" Jin justughs hearing this Pirates bullshit Pirate 3 "hey brat why are youughing" Julian''s face suddenly turns cold and stares at the pirate''s sending chills down their spine Julian "You know I really don''t like when people call me a brat, Gyaradose out" Julian calls out Gyarados and it directlynds on the sea, when the pirates see his Gyarados they go pale as if they have seen a real ghost as they have never seen a Gyarados so big in their whole life, for them even a normal Gyarados will make them shit their pants but after seeing this giant red Gyarados they can''t even breath. Julian "Gyarados use hyper beam and destroy those four ships" listening to Julian Gyarados puffs his chest and collect an enormous amount of energy and sends a powerful hyper beam from one ship to another continuously and the move being so powerful it creates a massive explosion and forms arge wave of water forming a wall of water, the pirates on the ships literally shit their pants and try to escape as far as possible not even caring about the group of pirates who are with Julian. The people who are on the ship are also shocked by the destructive power of Gyarados. The pirates are now shaking in fear as they kneel their silently as Julian ties them up using a rope, after finishing the matter he calls back Gyarados and walks towards Alice who is still in a trance after experiencing the event Julian "Alicee let''s go" Alice breaks out of the trance and quickly follows Julian and wraps around his hand Alice "Sir Julian you were so cool and strong," she says in a flirtatious way. They head towards a room and lock them self up as they continue their sex where they left it and after giving Alice several huge orgasms by fucking her till her mind goes nk and leaving her in a state that she can''t even stand they sleep in each other embrace. In the following days in the ship Julian was always busy and he fucked many women, he had threesomes, foursomes as Alice was part in all of them as she really enjoyed it as she found a new interest which was fucking girls which surprised herself very much, he even cockblocked a guy who is getting drunk in the bar while his wife is getting her mind fucked out by Julian, so Julian time in this ship was great as eight days soon passed away. Chapter 17 - Modifying Project Mewtwo Julian is on the ship''s rooftop looking at the approaching Vermillion city waiting for his next gym battle. Julian ''The main storyline has already started both Ash and Gary have started their journey and I have to get ready for the future and it''s only possible as I also be stronger with my partners'' ?? Alice came to the rooftop and sees Julian and stands next to him. Alice "Beautiful city, don''t you think Julian?" Julian "Yes indeed" Alice "So this is where we say goodbye huh?" Julian just stands there without a reply Alice "So goodbye then Julian hope we meet again" Julian smile at her and says "Goodbye" Even though they spend weeks together they got closer but didn''t develop any feelings towards each other their rtionship was full of lust and nothing else. The ship arrives at the seaport as Julian gets down the ship with his bike as he heads towards the Pokemon center, after reaching pokemon center Julian hands over his pokemons to Nurse Joy as he rents a room there and goes inside Julian ''the system has already updated, let''s see what new thing did it get, System disy your new features'' As Julianmanded he heard a sound in his head and a screen popped in front of him which only he could see. ____________________ System updated New features * store an infinite amount of data * process and modify the existing data and run virtual simtions * scan 100 meters around the host standing point to detect lifeforms and some rare stones * disy more information about the pokemons after scanning _____________________ Julian ''great not many features added but I don''t need any more than this the options that are present now are perfect, let''s see modification, can I modify the project Mewteo lets see'' Julian ''System, copy all the data in this drive and start to modify the project Mewtwo which has no side effects and won''t contain harmful DNA modifying method'' Julian takes out the drive containing the information about team rocket and project Mewtwo. System ''Coping all data, sessfully copied, modification of project Mewtwo starting'' System ''Informing host that modification of the project Mewtwo isplex, the time is taken to modify is 370 days, would host like to continue the modification process?'' Julian ''well it doesn''t hurt anyone, continue the process'' System ''Affirmative'' Julian ''Well that problem is solved and now I just have to wait till it finishes and see what the future brings to me, if I want to catch a Mew I will need a dark or ghost type pokemon, I hope I can find one here, let''s not think about it'' Julian sits down on the carpet and starts to meditate to calm his mind from all the foreign thoughts and so half a day quickly pass without him even realizing when he wakes up from the trance he finds himself grown stronger and sharper. Julian ''System what happened to me'' System ''Host has reached the next stage and has broken the shackles of the mortal body, Host can now sense the spiritual energy around him increasing host''s stats. Julian ''My stats, I haven''t checked it until now, System disy my stats'' ___________________ Status - Host Age - 16 Height - 6 feet Strength - 76 Constitution - 80 Defense - 70 Dexterity - 83 Intelligence - 85 Charisma - 80 Wisdom - 70 Skills - cooking, sword master, closebat master, master shooter. ___________________ Julian ''looks like my body stats and Intelligence has grown, but now it''s not well rounded, well I have been training so its no surprise that few vary from others, wisdom remains same well it is to be expected as it develope as more time passes, the charm is still the same but I have noints about it''. Julian ''Enough of this let''s go and take my pokemons back'' Julian goes to Nurse Joy and gets his Pokemons as he heads towards the forest nearby to train his pokemons. As Julian encounters many pokemons in the forest he mainly uses Pidgey as he wants Pidgey to evolve soon as he may help Julian to catch a ghost type pokemon, now Julian is facing a Raticate Julian "Pidgey use gust" Raticate is blown away but again gets up and climbs a tree and jumps on to Pidgey using hyper fang Julian "Pidgey dodge then use quick attack" Pidgey simply glides sideway as Raticate misses as soon as this happens Pidgey flies up at full speed and dives down and hit it with a quick attack while it was still in the air sending it crashing down and it faints, Pidgey flies annds on Julian''s solder. Julian "You did very well" as soon as he says this and pats Pidgey''s head he starts to glow and bes bigger and turns into a Pidgeotto Julian ''good thing that he evolved, system show stats'' __________________ Status - Pidgeotto Level - 18 Age - 2 years State - happy Bond - 85% HP - 80 Attack - 90 Defense - 55 Sp.

Surge really like to y rough huh? well, I would also like if he ys rough with me it will be fun'' Julian smiles thinking about this, If anybody looked at this smile right now they will shit their pants on the spot as it looked like the smile of the devil itself. Chapter 18 - Teach Me How To Battle Its the next day and Julian is at the back side of the pokemon center in an empty field with his pokemons Monferno after seeing Julian meditate also started to meditate more to perfect his control over fire, Heatran is always busy sticking to the magma stone which Julian kept there so Heatran could observe it slowly to gain more power and heat, Kabuto is also fired up and is trying to learn hail, Pidgeotto is trying to learn brave bird and Julian is teaching Ivysaur the move sr beam Julian "Ivysaur just like how you use energy ball, try to collect the energy from the sun and concentrate and shoot it out with all the power you got" ?? Ivysaur nods and starts to collect lots of sr energy on the flower on top of him which starts to glow asrge amount of wave umtes in front of his mouth and he shoots it out as a beam goes and hits a tree, destroying it. Julian seeing this impressed that Ivysaur has gotten it in his first try. Julian "Good job Ivysaur continue doing this and you will be able to perfect it in no time" Ivysaur nods his head in agreement and continues to practice his moves Julian ''disy status of my pokemons present here'' ___________________ Status - Monferno Level - 18 Age - 4 months State - focused Bond - 100% HP - 70 Attack - 104 Defense - 72 Sp.

Kid "No" Julian "Ok then I will teach you a thing or two, but first, tell me your name" Kid "My name is Steev" Julian "Alright Steev lets go to the pokemon park and see what your Bulbasaur can do" Julian heads towards the pokemon park where many people from the citye to train or have fun with their pokemon after reaching their Julian asks Steev to bring out his Bulbasaur Julian "Ok kid tell me what moves does your Bulbasaur knows?" Steev "Vine whip, tackle, and razor leaves" Julian ''that''s all, well at least it still effective moves against electric type pokemon'' Julian "Ok tell me how does the gym leader battles with his Raichu?" Steev "Well the Raichu is very strong and" Julian "And?" Steev "That''s all its very strong and its moves are strong too" Julian "So did you use your speed to counter his power" Steev "Why would I do that?" Julian ''Did this kid also got an injury in his head'' Julian "Ofcource so that your pokemon don''t get hurt while battling taking unnecessary hits" Steev "But aren''t electric types weak against grass type why will it get hurt" Julian "Kid have you gone nuts then what happened to your Bulbasaur did it stumble and got himself hurt, don''t you even realize how stupid you are sounding now" Steev just puts his head down embarrassed even his Bulbasaur was disappointed with him Julian "Listen kid pokemon types do matter in pokemon battle but if you don''t know how to use them properly you will just lose no matter what sometimes even the type who has a disadvantage over other types can win if they know how to counter it perfectly" Steev "I understand" Julian "Good so next time use your partner''s speed and maintain distance and attack if you get near you will just get dominated by it pure power, got it?" Steev "Got it" Julian "Ok now lets practice" Julian brings out his Ivysaur and trains with Steev for two hours he even tells Ivysaur to teach Bulbasaur to use energy ball after this Julian heads back leaving Steev and his Bulbasaur alone Steev "Bulbasaur I am sorry, because of my irresponsible action you got hurt, I promise that it will never happen again" His Bulbasaur agrees with him and forgives him Steev "Ok Bulbasaur lets practice energy ball so we can use it in our battle again" "Bulba-bulbasauurrrr" And like this, another day is gone and Julian is on his bed lying Julian "Hope that kid performs well tomorrow, ah he wasted my precious day I could have done so many things instead of teaching him, what a tiring day," he says and closes his eyes. Chapter 19 - Past And Present As Julian went to sleep he found himself on the same bed he had died, seeing himself being in his old body again got him very scared he didn''t felt like this old self was him but he knew that this was his own body and feelings he carried in his old body but he didn''t get why he was so scared to return to his old body then soon realization hit him Julian ''I am feeling old again, when I went to the pokemon world I had abandoned my old self so that I can relive my teenage years which I didn''t experience in my past life, but why am I so scared to return being my original self again'' ?? Then suddenly Julian''s surrounding turned white and next thing he sees is a middle-aged man sitting opposite to him brewing tea, Julian knew who he was he was God, the one who sent him to the pokemon world, Julian didn''t know what to say so he stayed there looking at God silently after some time God finished brewing the ten and suddenly two cups appeared before them, he slowly poured the tea in these cups and passed one to Julian, Julian bowed and picked it and took a sip God "So Julian tell me how is your new life" Hearing God''s question Julian quickly got to know that he didn''t die but was brought here by God Julian "It was a very fun and exciting experience, I felt very alive and like a kid there with nothing holding me and no responsibilities" God "That what you wanted isn''t it to be a teen again, to enjoy your life as you want by not being an old man you are" Julian "Yes Lord that''s how I wanted to live and I unknowingly left my old self behind and was living a life as a teenager which I didn''t even realize" God "That''s good" Julian "Lord I have a question" God "Go on, ask what you want to know?" Julian "When I came back I fused again with my old self but it didn''t feel right why did it feels like I am fake and the Julian I have been in the pokemon world so real" God "Julian why don''t you tell me everything about your past life but not the one you think is real but your actual past life" Julian "Lord what do you mean by that?" God "Julian, you should ask this question to your self look back to how you lived your life" Julian closed his eyes and started to recall how his life was and when he opened his eyes he started to cry, his eyes turned red, he felt really ufortable, his heart started to ake Julian "It was all a lie a lie I created to escape the cruel things I experienced" God "Tell me, Julian, about your real life" Julian "I was born into a happy family living with my father and mother happily, I was just 10 years old at that time but the happiness didn''tst and war broke out as our vige was near the bored our vige was first attacked, the reinforcement came but it was toote I saw my parents getting killed right in front of me in cold blood they didn''t try to spare but I was lucky that I was rescued just in time I was sent into an orphanage where I made a friend his name was Alex but unlike me he was an orphan from birth but I could not stay in that peaceful orphanage as war was getting more intense, kids like me where brought to the army and where handed guns but I was not alone Alex was right beside me but the horrors didn''t stop their, due to the war the road which the army got supplies got cut away as they didn''t want to lose the remaining supplies they started throwing kids who had no talent for war of the cliffs to save the army''s rashins seeing this both me and Alex started to work hard and we turned 15 soon but this war was never ending and this time both me and Alex where on the battle field where we enventually survived because we killed peoples that day started to haunt us we couldnt sleep for so many days but after killing and more killing we became cold to everyone but that was untill we met her, Mary she was both mine and Alex first love and we both new this but we didnt fight as our friendship was much stronger we promised each other that whoever wins her heart the other will be happy for them, war once again broke out and we headed to war again and we went and came back victorious and this time when we came back Alex didnt waste time and proposed to Mary and she agreed, I was heartbroken but I didnt show it to them as I loved both of them dearly and seeing them happy I had to swallow down my feelings, eventually they married and had a kid, he was very bright and well manared I esnally visited them and so 12 years passed peacefully even though there were conflits it was not severe but in my life happiness never stayed for long, the country was attacked again but this time from the inside several sleeper cells went active and caused terrorist attacks every where and we have fallen victim to it I, Alex, mary and their son where visiting a ce which happened to be where the sleeper cells nted the bomb as it detonated the ce came crashing down and the explosion distroyed everything even my only leaving family in this world Alex, my love as I still loved her, I was never shot by a bullet my spine got injured in the st, at their diying moments they only had one wish that is for me to take care fo their son like if he was my own and I fainted I had serious ingury in my spine and brain to escape the horrors of loosing my loved once again I totally removed them from my mind, I had taken the persona and thought that I was the one who married Mary, I thought I was Brendan''s father I created a world for my self to escape from every thing from my past, when I went to see Brendan he was still ina and the doctors sait that he suffered a truma in his brain and has forgetten every thing about his past and when he gained conciousness I said that I was his father and he epted it, after this I resigned from the army and went far away with Brendan to escape that hell of a ce, well growing up Brendan alwasys asked me about his mother, but I couldn''t say anything to him as I had removed her from my mindpletely and when ever I tried to recall about her I would faint seeing this Brendan stoped asking me about his mother and so my life went well and after my grandson being born I was able to experiance my childhood with him and I started to want to leave more and more as a teenager than an old man and so waiting and waiting I finally died, then I met you and then went to an another world where I could leave as a teanager again" he closed his eyes and whiped his tears which where still running down his cheeks. After telling God everything about his original past life he felt lighter he felt as if something which was holding him down has been removed, he started to fell young again, when he looked down to see that he was back to his new and young body, he looked at God to search for an answer God smiled and started exining "Your past life was made by you to escape the harsh reality you faced that''s why when your new soul fused with your old you didn''t want to experience those horrors again and so you felt scared, scared because you had lost many and your new soul was realizing it, but after you started telling me the story about your life you started cutting off the karma between this life and your previous life freeing you from the horrors" Julian just listened to God silently as he continued to speak God "Julian, now you have been reborn again and this time in both body and soul, you are no more the old man who was delusional about his life, now you are a young man who wants to travel the world and be strong, this is you the new Julian" Julian has now calmed down and looks at himself once again the new him who is young Julian "Yes I am Julian a young man who has wisdom greater than anyone at the same age" saying this Julian starts tough, as he is happy, God also smile looking at how happy Julian is. God "My child its time for us to say goodbye if the mother of fate wants us to meet again we will see each other again" Julian "I also hope to meet you again and talk about my new exciting life" God "Then of you go" he smiles and waves his hand as Julian starts to fall into a ck abyss and when he opens his eyes he finds himself on the bed where he closed his eyesst time. Julian "I am Julian, as I live in the present and create a future where all will remember me and my past will never bind me, as I am reborn" ___________________ Author''s Thought As you guys know in the first chapter of this novel I didn''t specify any major things about Julian''s past life and maybe few people have noticed that Julian never felt like an old MC, lol if he was Old he would have never gone around having sex with young female, I was nning this chapter for a long time and thought that this was the perfect time to release this chapter as he recently broke through the shackles of the mortal realm, and I also wanted to give Julian this ability, what is the ability you might ask well I will let you guess that if you are not able to just wait for the chapters ;p Chapter 20 - Bullying Lt. Surge Julian "I am Julian, as I live in the present and create a future where all will remember me and my past will never bind me, as I am reborn" He then suddenly hears a sound in his head ?? System ''*ding* host has achieved a breakthrough in the soul, Host has gained additional wisdom and a new ability called resonance'' Julian ''System show my stats'' __________________ Status - Host Name - Julian Age - 18 Strength - 76 Constitution - 80 Defense - 70 Intelligence - 85 Charisma - 80 Wisdom - 85 Skills - cooking, weapon master, closebat master, master shooter Ability - Resonance (locked) ___________________ Julian ''System what does this resonance do'' System ''Function of this skill is unknown Host has to figure it out himself Julian ''let''s leave it for now, I should challenge the Gym today don''t want to stay here for too long'' Julian gets dressed and is ready to go to the Gym on his way out he sees Steev training with his Bulbasaur Julian ''Good for him'' Julian hops on his bike and rides off toward the gym when he reaches the gym he sees an orange building with whitetails covering the front door and huge lightning symbol hanging across each side of the door, Julian walks in to see two people wearing military type uniforms fixing some creators in the battlefield, when they see Julianing in they already guessed that he is a challenger and next victim for their boss Lt. Surge, these two assistants were very arrogant and bullied young and inexperienced trainers using their boss''s fame, Julian new this and didn''t like them even before meeting them and now seeing there faces really annoyed them and now seeing them walking toward him with a grin which clearly showed ridicule directed towards him, it really got on his nerves Julian "What are you two foolsughing at go and bring your boss" Hearing Julian call them fools first they were dumbfounded as nobody had ever called them fools and now they were angry Assistant 1 "What did you call us, say it again" Assistant 2 "Ya say it again" Julian "Are you two fools also deaf didn''t you hear what I said bring your boss here" This time he said it with a cold voice sending chills down their spine, they were now scared and didn''t want to confront Julian so they went to call their boss after some time they came back but this time there was an extra person in front of them who was very tall and walking towards Julian with veryrge strides. Lt. Surge "I heard you called my two assistant fools'' Julian "Yes if I had talked to them I would have lost some brain cells just by seeing their faces I get irritated, I don''t know how is your brain still intact, you should fir them and hire some decent ones" Lt. Surge hearing Julian talk to him like this really got embarrassed and red at his assistant for picking a fight with this sharp tongue brat Lt. Surge "I see you are an arrogant one, It''s going to be a fun battle" Julian "Let''s get on to it I don''t have much time to waste here" Julian didn''t even bother hearing Lt. Surge and just walked towards the battlefield and stood at one end of the battlefield, seeing such an arrogant fellow for the first time he was really angry and thought to injure his pokemon really badly, he walked towards the other side of the battlefield Lt. Surge "Let''s see how are you going to be so arrogant after I crush you with a devastating defeat" Julian "ya ya I heard you now can you start the battle or are you going to just bber around" This time Julian really frustrated him and now he decided to be even cruel in this battle Lt. Surge "Ok you want to battle then so be it, we both will use one pokemon each, the first pokemon which is unable to battle will lose, go Raichu" he calls out his Raichu Julian "Finally, go Ivysaur" as he calls out his Ivysaur as Ivysaurnds on the battlefield dust rises as he is stronger, bigger and heavier than any other Ivysaur, seeing such a big Ivysaur both Lt. Surge and his Raichu gets nervous. Assistant 1 "Hey isn''t that Ivysaur a little too big" Assistant 2 "Yes it really is big I hope boss can win this" Listening to his assistants not having any confidence in him got him more angry and nervous at the same time Lt. Surge "Lets starts, Raichu thunderbolt" Julian "Ivysaur counter it with energy ball" the energy ball was created in a second as Ivysaur had got used to it and now he could shoot multiple energy ball one after another, as the energy ball and the thunder bold collided the thunderbolt was easily dispelled and the energy ball continued and hit Raichu and send him flying, Lt. Surge couldn''t believe that his Raichu''s move got defeated so easily as he greeted his teeth Julian "Here, I didn''t know that you were so week and after seeing so many pokemons being sent away to the pokemon center, I thought that you would at least pose a challenge, looks like I was wrong, Ivysaur lets finish this use leach seed" Ivysaurunches a leach seed towards Raichu Lt. Surge "Raichu quickly dodge it" Raichu dodges the leach seed by a hair inch but he didn''t get a second chance to dodge the uing attack Julian "Use vine whip and grab his leg and m him till he faints" As Raichu was still in the air after dodging the leaf seed it didn''t have any means to support itself to dodge the next uing attack as his legs got wrapped around by vine whip and was mmed 5 times on the ground, seeing his Raichupletely toyed around like this couldn''t help but feel very ufortable and hurt him very much as the match stopped Raichu was seen on the ground fainted and had some injuries on him, Lt. Surge ran towards Raichu and picked him up Lt. Surge "Raichu are you okay?" Julian "Hurts doesn''t it seeing your pokemon in such bad shape, this is what you do to every other trainer whoes to challenge you, next time try to be more lenient by not injuring others pokemon how you did in the past" Julian turns towards the two assistant and looks at them coldly Julian "If I see you fools running around and bulling other trainers with your boss''s fame, next time it will be you guys who will be badly injured" they just put their heads down not willing to make eye contact with Julian Lt. Surge stood up and send his Raichu back to his Pokeball and walked towards Julian and handed over the Thunder Badge and walked away without saying anything, Julian also didn''t say anything and called Ivysaur back Julian ''well looks like he is still arrogant but I hope he changes his method and stops injuring other trainers pokemon so badly'' He puts the Thunder Badge in the badge case with his other three badges and walks out of the gym Julian ''My next gym battle will be in Saffron city''s gym, The gym leader in that gym will be a trouble to handle, I don''t want to go and challenge that weird girl looks like I have to visit other gym and hope that brat Ash arrives there fast and turn her back to normal, lets go to the pokemon center and look at the map and see which city should I visit next'' Julian rides to the pokemon center he gets a detailed map from Nurse Joy as the one he had was a very simple one and didn''t show proper terrain, he went back to the room and looked at the map Julian "Looks like the only city which I will be able to go now is Fuchsia city, the gym leader of this gym is Koga a poison type user well I have Heatran so no worries there but before going to Fuchsia city I should visit thevender town I know there are arge number of ghost sitings and ghost pokemon living there, hope I can catch one, so its decided Fuchsia city it is". Julian decides and starts to prepare to head out for his next destination by buying a huge amount of food rations and ingredients for making pokemon food for his growing pokemons. Chapter 21 - Lavender Towns Pokemon Tower (1) Julian was ready to go, he fed his pokemons and went out of the pokemon center to see that Steev and his Bulbasaur has almost learned energy ball when Steev saw Julian he waved his hand at Julian seeing Steev waving at him he just ignored it as he didn''t want to do anything with him anymore, He hoped on his bike and drove off on his way tovender city he stopped near a riverside to rest for sometime and do some training all his pokemons were improving drastically and while doing this he got carried away and stopped keeping track of time, when it was evening and when the sun hit the bottom to turn the sky orange he realized that he lost the track on time and had spent too much time training his pokemons. Julian "Shit, I spent too much time here I have to hurry up and reach Lavender town before nightfall, guys get back inside your Pokeball we need to hurry" ?? He sent all his pokemon inside their Pokeball and hit the road again with full speed on his bike, luckily he reached Lavender town before 9 pm. Lavender town was a very small town with very few people residing here and most of them where old people or they had lost their precious partners (pokemons) here, Lavender town was literally a graveyard where trainerse and bury their dead pokemon in the pokemon tower, sometimes people of this town would see spirits and ghost of pokemons roaming around the pokemon tower, people alsoe and visit this town to give prayers and respect to those who have passed along after facing the test of time. As Julian entered the town he saw small houses with lights still on, he went and knock on the door of the house which is close to him and after a second the door is opened by an old man who looks like to be in his 80s, he looks like a kind old man and invites Julian inside, inside the house is a very cozy and warm feeling, the fire is burning under the chimney and which was the only source of light in the house the house was made of wood and straws but it still felt veryfortable Old man "Young man would you like to drink some tea?" Julian "Thank you mister and I would love some tea" Old man "Then sit on that chair until I prepare some tea" Julian walks towards a chair in front of the fire and sits there he starts to look around and sees a Cubone sleeping at a corner of the room, Julian walks towards Cubone and tries to pet it but Cubone starts to shiver as it looks scared, seeing this Cubone scared so much Julian takes out a candy from his pouch and gives it to him Julian "Take this little guy, eat it, I won''t hurt you" Cubone lifts his head and smells the candy, it smells good but he is still wary he looks at Julian but after looking at Julian for some time he feels like Julian means no harm so he approaches Julian and eats the candy. Julian "Looks like you enjoy eating candy, here I have some more, eat it" He gives Cubone some more candy and he happily eats it, after eating all the candy he looks at Julian to ask for more candy Julian "Sorry but I don''t have anymore, how about you y which my friend here" Julian brings out Kabuto to y with Cubone when Kabutoes out Cubone bes wary but when Kabuto approaches Cubone and greets him he abandons all his worries and also greets Kabuto as they start to y running around the house, Julian walks back to the chair and sits watching these two y around, after some time the old manes out of the kitchen with a tray in his hand and he looks at Cubone happily ying around he also bes happy, he walks towards Julian and sits opposite to him cing the tray on the table, he pours some tea into a cup and give it to Julian Old man "Its good that you came, I have not seen Cubone this happy for a very long time" Julian "What happened?" Old man "First Cubone was really cheerful and would alwayse to my house to eat food and take some back to his mother, but two months ago when Cubone was near the pokemon tower witch his mother they got attacked by a group of people wearing ck uniforms so that they could sell the bone on Cubone''s head but to protect Cubone his mother sacrificed her self and died in the process and made the people who attacked them flee, but Cubone was scared and didn''t trust anyone, he directly came to me and hasn''t left the house for more than two months" Julian "These people you talked about wearing a ck dress do you know anything about them?" Old man "I don''t know anything about them, but they had an R on their dress, that what I heard from the person who was nearby at that time, Once I visited the pokemon tower to pay respect to her soul but I saw her ghost wandering around, it looked like she was searching for Cubone, I tried to bring him there but he was too scared to go there again" Julian "I see, I was nning to go to the pokemon tower to catch a ghost type pokemon, I will try to bring Cubone there" Old man "I hope you can do that, then his mother will be able to pass to the afterlife after meeting him" Julian finishes drinking the tea and starts to walk towards Cubone and Kabuto who were ying when they see Julian approaching them they stop ying. Julian "Hey Cubone why don''t we go to the Pokemon tower, I heard your mother was waiting there so she could meet you one more time" Hearing Julian talk about his mother and the pokemon tower Cubone gets scared and denies to go their, seeing this Julian approaches Cubone and pats his head Julian "Don''t worry there is nothing to be scared, you see Kabuto is very strong and I also have a lot of powerful friends who very strong who can easily defeat anyone they face, so you don''t have to fear anyone with me and my friends around" Cubone listens to Julian and hesitates slightly then Kabutoes to the rescue and reassures Cubone that he will be totally safe after hearing from Kabuto Cubone agrees to visit the pokemon tower with them. They get ready as Julian picks up Cubone and ces Kabuto on top of his head and now they are ready to go to the pokemon tower Old man "Cubone be careful and say a proper goodbye to your mother, and Julian please take care of Cubone as he is the only remaining family I have" Julian "Don''t worry Mr. Smith I will take care of Cubone and bring him back safely" And so they head towards the pokemon tower after walking for some time they finally reach in front of the pokemon tower, it''s still night time and this makes the pokemon tower look scarier, the pokemon tower looks like a pir and it stands 15 meters tall, it has small windows on each side of the tower Julian "Well it looks scary but there is nothing to be scared of there are some ghost pokemons and some actual ghost as they cannot harm anyone its ok I guess, well let''s go in". Chapter 22 - Lavender Towns Pokemon Tower (2) Julian walks towards the gate and opens it as he enters the proximity of the tower he starts to feel an airy feeling, he looks towards his left and right to find nothing except some nameless tombstones, Cubone also starts to feel scared and tightly holds onto Julian''s coat Julian "This is going to be really troublesome, I hope I am able to find a strong ghost pokemon and of course help Cubone to meet his dead mother''s ghost" ?? He walks towards the building and opens the door which makes a creaking noise, he walks in to find an empty floor, there were some tombstones inside as well but they had names and time of death on them as Julian walks towards one of them he hears a creaking noise to which he turns back to see the doors close shut Julian ''looks like they started to y their pranks, I have to be very careful they are not aggressive they just want to y but they might sometimes go a little too far while ying their pranks'' Julian ''System scan the tower and tell me the exact number of pokemons present'' System ''Scanning, scanning finished, there are a total of 17 pokemons in the tower'' Julian ''17, that''s a lot'' Julian "Cubone lets start to search your mother ok" Cubone nods and doesn''t say anything, Julian starts to explore this floor but soon he hears creaking sounds again but this time it''sing from above, he looks up to see a chandelier swinging then it suddenly snaps seeing iting down towards him he jumps away dodging itpletely and see it crashing down onto the floor causing a huge bang sound, hearing the bang Cubone and Kabuto gets scared but calms down after Julian creases them saying that nothing happened. Julian ''These ghost type pokemons are really reckless they don''t know the consequence of ying this type of pranks, well I can''t do anything I don''t have any dark type pokemons with me right now'' After calming down and finally finished searching the ground floor he starts to move towards the first floor as he starts to climb the stairs a flying vasees at him from nowhere but he easily dodges it as he was prepared and was ready to take on any kind of challenge they throw at him, when he reached the first floor after dodging numbers of flying vases and chairs he sees a two Gastlys looking at him happily and suddenly disappeared. Julian "I this keeps on going it will be troublesome, It looks like I have to face it head on if they throw anything simultaneously" Julian takes out a pair of MMA style rubber gloves which has metal knuckles on them and wears it. Julian "I didn''t think that I would be using them here, I just bought them for training purpose but now I have to punch some flying chairs and vaseing at me, and for back up, Monfernoe out" Monfernoes out and sees that they are in a dark and abandoned ce he gets confused and looks at Julian so Julian exin him their situation and tells him to break anything thates towards them, Monferno nods his head, Julian starts to search the first floor he sees some Gastlys appearing through the wall and as they see Julian they quickly disappear, there was no sign of any ghost hear so they start to walk towards the second floor as they are about to climb the stairs a deskes crashing down but its turned shatters by Moferno as he punches it with his fist as they continue every kind home itemses flying towards them vases, flower pots, benches, chairs, desk, wooden nks, floor tiles, etc everything thates towards them Julian and Monferno punches and kicks them away either breaking them or send them flying backward and finally they reach the second floor when they reach there they see a Gengar Julian didn''t want to miss this opportunity andmands Monferno to engage in battle. Julian "Monferno activate Foresight then use focus punch as fast as possible" As Monferno has learned the skill foresight which allows him to attack ghost type pokemons, Monferno without wasting any time sprints towards Gengar and uses focus punch with full power as Monferno was so fast Gengar didn''t get time to dodge as was sent flying and crashed on a shelf but as soon as it crashed it got up and disappeared from there seeing this Gengar escaping both Julian and Monferno were pissed. Julian "What the fuck its so difficult to firstnd an attack on them and now after finally getting a hit, they fucking escape" Julian was really pissed this time and he and Monferno went on a rampage around the tower they would be greeted by multiple flying objects but those all were destroyed by them after some time it turned into a game between Julian, Monferno vs the ghost pokemons, surprisingly Cubone and Kabuto were having a time of their life seeing this scene presented before them as they watched how Julian and Monferno were rampaging around every were, one floor after another they conquered all, now the ghost pokemons were helpless as all their equipment were destroyed by Julian and Monferno, they never have felt so defeated in their lifetime but they were enjoying it. Finally Julian and the rest had reached the 7th floor and this was thest floor of the tower, both Julian and Monferno were tired but they could still continue as they still had the stamina to spare but they didn''t need to continue as they were looking around they entered a room where they saw a Marowak roaming around the room but something was different about it, they looked carefully and they noticed that it was a little transparent, it was a ghost. Cubone who was sitting on Julian''s solder suddenly jumps off and start running towards this ghost Marowak crying, Marowak also turned around to see Cubone and started to call him as Cubone tried to jump and hold his mother he passed right through her, he didn''t understand at first but his mother started talking to him which made him cry more and after sometime she started to disappear slowly, seeing her slowly disappearing Cubone tried to grab her but it was no use, while disappearing she was smiling, smiling because she was able to see her son onest time, seeing his mother smile at him he stopped crying and looked at her as she slowly faded away, this scene was all seen by Julian as he stayed there not interfering as he knew this was hisst time to see his mother and every second was precious. Cubone was just looking at the spot where his mother had disappeared, Julian finally decided to walk towards him and lifted him and ced him on his solder Julian "Cubone your mother will be very happy to know that you didn''t cry after she disappeared she will be proud to have such a strong son, but you know crying will help you reduce your sadness in your heart so whenever you feel you want to cry, cry till the pain in your heart goes away" Cubone just nods his head and forces himself to not cry but he was still a baby he could not hold himself and started to cry, as he cried Kabuto climbed down and clung onto Cubone as if he was hugging him until he finally stopped. Julian sighed looking at Cubone as he knew it was very painful to lose family as he looked outside it was about to sunrise Julian "Looks like I couldn''t catch any of those sneaky bastards, Cubone are you ready its time to go back" Cubone just nods his head and didn''t say anything as he was still sad, Julian climbed down and sees the mess he and Monferno made around here and couldn''t help butughs awkwardly he walks out of the tower and was about to open the gate when he felt like someone taped the right solder he turns around and see no one was there when he felt a tap on his other solder Julian is no fool and he knew that another Ghost pokemon trying to mess with him, he pretended to turn left but again turned right to see a Gengar, Gengar was also surprised that his trick didn''t work Julian "Arnt you the same Gengar who attacked us on the second floor" Gengar nods his head smiling and agreeing to Julian Julian "What do you want, if you still want to y around I cannot as I have other things to do" Julian opens the gate and walks out after sometimes he feels like someone was still following him, he turns around to see Gengar again. Julian "Don''t tell me you want toe with us?" Gengar again nods his head happily, Julian was first surprised but he soon figured it out and didn''t ask why he wanted to follow him as Julian already knew the answer as he had seen it in Gengar''s eyes the desire to be strong so he wanted to follow Julian as he had witnessed how strong Julian and Monferno are together, Julian takes out a Pokeball a brings it in front of Gengar Julian "Then what are you waiting fore with us" Gengar bes happy and presses the Pokeball''s button as he goes inside as the Pokeball shakes left and right and finally makes a sound confirming that the capture isplete.

Chapter 23 - The Unknown Forest Julian reached Mr. Smith''s home and told him that Cubone has met his mother, Mr. Smith was happy to hear this news but also feeling sad to see that Cubone was still not fully healed from the trauma of losing his mother, Julian handed over Cubone back to Mr. Smith and was ready to start traveling again Julian "Cubone we are leaving now, promise me that you will be strong and also take care of Mr. Smith properly" ?? Cubone nods his head as says goodbye to his friend Kabuto Julian "Alright Mr. Smith I will be going now" Mr. Smith "Take care and don''t forget to visit us sometimes" Julian calls Kabuto back to his Pokeball and rides away after leaving Lavender town Julian decides to hold a camp after reaching a riverside, and finally, after two hours of riding he finds a suitable ce to put on a camp, after setting up the camp Julian called out all his pokemons, when all of them came out Pidgeotto, Heatran, Ivysaur, Gyarados looked at the new member of the team Gengar, Gengar being friendly in nature greeted every one Gengar was most impressed by Gyarados as he was very big standing 8.5 meters tall, he would carefully look at Gyarados and try to y some pranks on him by trying to pull his tail or tickle him but it was no use as Gyarados didn''t feel a thing because he was enjoying the cold water of the river, seeing how Gengar was trying to y pranks on Gyarados and failing and now trying to prank other pokemons Julian could not help but shake his head in the process Julian noticed something particr about his Gengar he looked darker and less colorful than a normal Gengar which had purple coloretion to it. Julian ''I didn''t even noticest night as it was dark, but it looks like my Gengar is a shiny'' Julian "Ok guys lets do some training, you guys have to do it yourself as today I will train with Gengar" All his pokemon nods and goes to their respected training exercise which Julian had given them to do, Gengar floated towards Julian and circled around him excitedly. Julian "Ok Gengar we will train your normal attacks and defense as your special attacks are already powerful we will focus on themter, now we have to improve your strength" Gengar nods agreeing to Julian as they start to train their physical attacks, after hours of training Julian and the rest are finally tired and they rest for some time, only Gengar is energetic as always as he disappears and reappears one ce at a time while doing this he suddenly notices something he floats towards Julian and tells him something is there across those bushes alongside the road Julian "You are saying something suspicious is behind those bushes" Gengar "Gengarrrrr" nods his head repeatedly Julian calls back all his pokemons except Gengar to their Pokeball and heads towards the direction of those bushes, Gengar rushed towards the other side of the bushes followed by Julian but to their surprise, they were shed by a bright light making them suddenly lose their sight and falling asleep, when Julian gained consciousness he slowly opened his eyes to see very tall trees which were towering towards the sky, the sun looked bright as the sun rays were warm andfortable, he slowly stood up to see that Gengar was floating around chasing some wild pokemons and having fun Julian seeing this didn''t know whether tough or cry Julian ''Gengar really loves to trouble others, I hope he doesn''t put me in deep trouble, putting that aside what is this ce it looks like a forest and the trees are so big, I didn''t see any map or book mentioning this ce, seeing that this forest has such lush vegetation it should have been found by people and mentioned them in the book right, wait is this some kind of secret ces which appears and disappears leaving no trace behind, I had heard some legends about it but I didn''t know that I will be able to enter one, Gengar really did a good job'' While Julian was wondering where he was he was being watched by a small pokemon which looked like a hairless mouse with very light pink color which almost looked white, it looked at Julian curiously as it had never encountered a human who was surrounded by spiritual energy and it was really curious while floating around silently observing Julian it by mistake made a rustling sound alerting Julian. Julian who was inspecting the area suddenly heard rustling sound from above and quickly turned around to just see a blur which disappeared in a second, Julian quickly knew that something was watching him, he called Gengar back as he starts to walk towards a random direction, he sees many pokemon along the way but nothing caught his interest he noticed one thing particr about this forest is that all the pokemons living here were a little stronger than the ones that are found outside this mysterious forest he quickly came to a conclusion that the environment here is rich with spiritual energy even though this pokemons cannot observe it being constantly exposed to it made them healthier some time he would get jumped by bug type pokemons but Gengar would just scare them away while walking around the forest Julian and Gengar also bonded pretty well and they could understand each other much better now, after traveling around this never-ending forest he finally decided to rest he brought out all his pokemons and gave them their food while his pokemons were eating a Pidgey came flying towards Julian andnded on his shoulder, he got suprised by the sudden visiting but he didnt mind and fed this Pidgey some pokemon food after eating the pokemon food it rubed Julian cheeks and flew away dissapering among the trees after it went inside the trees the Pidgey suddenly started to change shape and turned into the same pokemon which was observing Julian previously. Julian sent his pokemons back after they finished their food and yed around for a little, he didn''t send Gengar back because he realized that Gengar had a very keen sense and can quickly inform him if there is any trouble further them, his system was useless here as every step Julian took there were more than 50 pokemons in his surrounding 100 meters which rendered it useless, after continuing to travel for such a long time Julian finally found a pokemon he wanted to catch an Elekid if it was trained properly it could be very powerful after evolving to its final form Electivire, Julian didn''t waste any time and sent Gengar to fight with it. Julian "Gengar go underground and go behind Elekid and use lick" Gengar shows his creepy smile to Elekid and slowly goes into the ground disappearing from Elekid''s sight, Elekid starts to panic and the next thing he knew that he was paralyzed and unable to move Julian "Now Gengar shadow punch" Gengar uses shadow punch and sends Elekid flying as he faints, Julian throws a Pokeball at him capturing Elekid inside after few seconds the Pokeball makes a sound confirming the capture. Julian takes the Pokeball and calls out Elekid and gives him some candy. Julian "Elekid now you are a part of the team, and I will help you by making you into a very strong Electivire" Hearing Julian will help him turn into an Electivire made him happy as all Elekids had the desire to be strong and due to this they had a very arrogant personality and only respected stronger opponents.

Julian "It looks like after nightfall this secret ce throws out anyone that doesn''t belong to it, well let''s head back I hope all the items in the camp are safe and sound" When he gets back to the camp he lets out a sigh of relief as nothing is stolen from here, but unknown to Julian a certain someone had followed him back to the original world. Chapter 24 - Gyaradoss Dominance Julian was sitting on the side of the river as he watched his pokemons gathered around the firece discussing something only they understood as their conversation went above Julian''s head, he could only shake his head seeing his pokemons behaving like this, he had heard that pokemon tend to behave like their trainers and after seeing this Julian had no doubts that this prase was true, the neer Elekid was also with them as he liked being with strong people and fitted with them quite well, the only pokemon who was alone was Gyarados who enjoyed being alone and soak in the water. Julian ''Gyarados has grown a lot bigger with his size he even towers above the legendary pokemons, haha, he sure likes a peaceful environment, I think I should take him to the sea tomorrow so he can swim around freely, but first, let''s see his progress'' ?? Julian ''System show Gyarados stats'' ___________________ Status - Gyarados Level - 30 Age - 3 years State - calm Bond - 98% Hp - 130 Attack - 150 Defense - 100 Sp. Atk - 100 Sp.

Next day early in the morning Julian gets up and detach his tent and other camp items as he rides towards the nearest seashore when he reaches there he release all his pokemon to let them train by their own, he releases Gyarados into the water, he calls Elekid and Gengar to train together with him. Gyarados after being exposed to arge water body swims around on top for a little and after that dives deep underwater as he goes down several pokemon makes a path for him as they just get scared seeing such a big pokemon, Gyarados enjoys swimming freely in the ocean''s water as he goes further and further he encounters a Wailord which is 14 meters long, Gyarados bes excited and challenges the Wailord to a battle, as they battle under the water which causes a storm underwater atst even though the Wailord has more HP it could not bepared to the Raw power of Gyarados and loses, Gyarados like his previous fight with Wailord goes and challenge other powerful pokemon and gain battle experience he rarely met any match but he just found one a Milotic which was above Gyarados level but Gyarados was not a normal Gyarados and way stronger than his peers and as they battled the whole sea floor was blown away creating huge craters every were any pokemon that was in that area fled half a kilometer from the battlefield, after two hours of continues batteling Gyarados finally came on the top, after defeating Milotic he started to go to other ces to search for opponents. Julian, on the other hand, didn''t know anything as he was busy training with Elekid and Gengar, back to Gyarados as he was moving forward he was suddenly surrounded by five wild Gyarados and it looked like they didn''t like Gyarados due to his color and his power so they thought of ganging him but Gyarados didn''t mind as he took it as a challenge. One of the normal Gyarados attacked by using tackle but our Gyarados easily dodged it and used bite on the wild Gyarados grabbing it by the neck and throwing it back towards the other Gyarados sending other two Gyarados crashing down with it. Seeing there friends tossed away the other two Gyarados became angry and used hyper beambined and sent it towards Julian''s Gyarados and he also countered them using a fully powered hyper beam of his own which easily broke through the opponents hyper beam and smashed on them creating a huge wave in the water and sending them towards their fallen friends, now as all the wild Gyarados were tangled into a group our Gyarados sent a powerful dragon pulse towards them sending all five of them sting very far away, Gyarados was now very tired so he decided to go back to Julian. When Julian saw Gyarados surfacing and he looked tired, he immediately knew that Gyarados was battling other powerful pokemons under the sea. Julian "Gyarados did you win the battle?" Gyarados "RAAAWWWRRRRRR" Gyarados roared while nodding his head Julian understood that he has won, he took out a lot of food specially made for Gyarados so that he can replenish his energy. Julian ''Looks like he found a really powerful opponent for him to get tired, but still, this is the wild and many pokemon cannot reach the top and those that are at the top are old monsters and won''t be found near the shore, the pokemons that are here are all young and still inexperienced to pose a real threat to my Gyarados'' Julian "Eat up all you want so that you can grow more powerful" Gyarados after eating his full rests Julian, on the other hand, starts to train with Elekid and Gengar again Julian "Elekid now channel electricity on your hand and try to punch with full power, and Gengar continue practicing sucker punch" After instructing them he walks towards Monferno and Heatran Julian "Ok you two will start to learn fire st" Julian instructs them on how to stimte the move and watches them as they perform the move surprisingly both of them were able to perform the move, seeing that both of them had gained exceptional control over the fire they could learn any fire type move if they want, he then instructs Heatran on how to use stone edge and calls Monferno with him Julian "Ok Monferno we will now move on with our closebat training, you have already mastered the basic, now its time to move on to intermediate level" Monferno nods his head and is excited to take the next step to reach new heights in closebat as it is one of his main offensive moves. Julian starts to disy different types ofbinations which can be performed on different circumstances, as Monferno studies these moves seriously and memorize them, he practices these moves for a little and next moment he spars with Julian who defeats him miserably by pointing out many ws in his moments. Like this all his pokemon spent time training and learning new moves, Pidgeotto has learned steel wing and brave bird, Kabuto has learned bubble beam, mud shot, sand attack, and water gun, Gengar and Elekid have also learned the respected moves which they were practicing, Ivysaur had learned synthesis and Giga Drain. Julian ''today all of them had progressed drastically, I can''t believe we spent the whole day training, tomorrow I will head towards Fuchsia city''. Julian sets up the camp on the beach and goes to sleep as he is tired of all the training he did today. Chapter 25 - Stalking Ninja Julian is getting ready to go to Fuchsia city, he has finished all his preparation as he hops on his bike and rides off towards the city, after six hours of riding dis he finally reach the city. Julian ''It''s good that I left early in the morning to arrive just in time, or I would have arrived at evening, I should first visit the pokemon center then go and refill my stocks'' ?? Julian rides towards the pokemon center and he reaches there to find the ce was crowded Julian ''today is a busy day in the center and from the looks of it I won''t be able to have my gym battle today, well I don''t have a problem, from what I remember the gym is in the forest nearby and on the way, there are many traps lying around'' Julian walks towards Nurse Joy Julian "Nurse Joy I would like you to do some health check on my pokemons" Nurse Joy "Sure, Chansey take these Pokeball inside and I wille to check them letter" Chansey nods and takes the pokeballs inside Nurse Joy "I would like you toe after some time as we are very busy now and won''t be able to do a health checkup right now" Julian "I understand." He says and walks out of the center Julian '' let''s go to the market and fill up my stocks, my pokemons are eating a lot nowadays so I have to prepare more food for them'' Julian walks around the market and buys the things he needs while walking around he sees a girl wearing a ninja outfit carrying a bag on her hand and jumping from one building to another and disappearing into the forest. Julian ''Wait I know this girl she is Aya, gym leader Koga''s sister, what a surprise I didn''t think I would see her before reaching the forest'' Julian heads back to the pokemon center and rents a room to rest for a while, he walks into the room and starts to meditate to calm his mind, after meditating he goes to Nurse Joy to take back his pokemons, he walks towards the pokemon centers backyard and calls out Ivysaur and Heatran Julian "So tomorrow both of you will be battling, both of you will fight one round, Ivysaur will go first then Heatran, your guys don''t have to worry about tomorrows opponent as they are poison types and they won''t affect you" Both Ivysaur and Heatran nods their head understanding and starts to work out their defense and speed as their attacks have be very powerful. As the day passes Julian head off towards the gym early in the morning as he reaches the forest he started to search for clues and tracks which leads to the gym as it is hidden very deep in the forest. Julian ''searching for tracks is very tough, unlike that brat ash who just stumbles into anything and find his way I have to search for actual clues'' After searching for a while Julian finds some tracks, some footprints, and some broken branches, as Julian gets near and near the gym, he is followed by Aya and her Venonat, of course, Julian notices her but didn''t mind as he is very near the gym a group of Voltorbes crashing down from a tree but Julian dodges them easily and escapes their electric attacks, just like these Voltorb traps he was exposed to many other traps such as pitfalls, flying shuriken and other traps but Julian escapes them easily due to his fast reflex and great ability. Aya who was following Julian was shocked by how easily he dodged all the traps even she won''t be able to do them without knowing the coordinates of the traps. Julian ''these traps even though look scary cannot cause serious injuries to people as they are ced in a very special way so that whoever trips them doesn''t die, but still to ce these traps everywhere what are they thinking, do they think that every person whoes to challenge them are ninjas and whats with her always following me around the whole forest like a stalker''. Julian after escaping many traps finally reaches the gym, the gym looks like a traditional martial arts school as the whole building is constructed with wood, as he enters the facility he sees a pond and some trees near it and nothing else, seeing that the gym leader was still hiding and didn''t want toe out he started to walk towards the gate but he was suddenly blocked by Aya she had dark green hair color and was wearing a purple ninja style dress with-like structure covering her arms. Julian "looks like the stalker who was following me the whole time finally decided to show up" Hearing Julian call her a stalker she bes dumbfounded Aya "Are you talking about me" Julian "Who else, weren''t you the one who was jumping from a tree t anther stalking me this whole time while I was in the forest" Aya gets shocked that she was noticed by Julian even after she made no noise while spying on him Aya "How did you find out" Julian "Well even if you didn''t make a sound while jumping from one tree to another stalking me, I could still see your shadow which sometimes was projected on the ground anyone would be able to notice you unless he/she is a fool" Aya "I wasn''t stalking you I was spying on you" Julian "Spying is only possible when someone asks you to spy on someone, where you asked by someone to spy on me?" Aya couldn''t find an answer to it as she did it with her own interest, Julian, on the other hand, was enjoying teasing this girl. Julian "I take that as a no from your silence, which means you were stalking me from the time I entered the forest" Aya was really embarrassed and didn''t feel like talking so she simply tossed this topic to the side. Aya "I don''t care what you think, but if you are here to challenge the gym you have to defeat me first, go Venonat" Julian "Ok then I don''t have time to waste, go Pidgeotto" Aya "Using your Pidgeotto won''t help you win this battle, Venonat use stun spore" Julian "Pidgeotto just fly up and use air cutter" Pidgeotto flew high in the air as the stun spore didn''t even reach him then he sent a barrage of multiple air cutters at Venonat, after getting hit by several air cutters Venonat just fainted on the spot Julian "See now that you are defeated I will be challenging the gym leader" Julian walks past Aya who is still in a trance after being defeated so easily, he goes in front of the door and slides it open to see a middle-aged man with spiky ck hair waiting in the battlefield with a serious expression, he was Koga the Gym leader of the Fuchsia gym. Koga "Looks like you have defeated my sister very easily, it been a long time since I have fought a strong opponent" Julian "I am Julian and I am here to challenge you to a gym battle". Chapter 26 - Julian Vs Koga Julian "I am Julian and I am here to challenge you to a gym battle" Koga "Hmm, My name is Koga and I am the gym leader of the Fuchsia gym and I ept your challenge" ?? Aya who was in daze came running inside and saw that her brother had excepted the challenge she just shook her head and proceeded to do her job. Aya "I will be the referee of this battle, both the gym leader and the trainer will use three pokemon each, the trainer is allowed to switch his pokemon in middle of the battle, the gym leader cannot do the same, the first person whose all three pokemons are unable to battle loses" Julian ''looks like we will be facing three pokemons I have to change my strategy and send Heatran first as he has a Nidoking he will probably use it as hisst so I will send Ivysaur to face his Nidoking'' Koga "Are you ready, go Venonat" Julian "Go Heatran" Seeing that Julian is not ying around and sending a powerful pokemon from the start Koga be serious he knew that Heatran was a steel type and his Venonat could not do much damage as he was in a serious disadvantage as both bug and poison won''t work on a steel type Koga "Venonat use supersonic" Venonat sends waves of supersonic attacks but Heatran just stands there and takes the attack head-on. Julian "Its was smart to attack Heatran with a normal type attack as your other moves won''t work but, it still is useless as Heatran''s defense is way high for normal attacks to hurt him" Koga couldn''t do anything but grit his teeth Julian "Now Heatran use methrower" Heatran send hot mes raging towards Venonat and sends him flying making it unable to battle Aya "Venonat is unable to battle, Heatran wins" Koga "Bringing a steel type really gives you an advantage but I have not given up, go Golbat" Julian ''just as I thought he is saving Nidoking for thest battle'' Koga "Golbat fly high then use air cutter" Golbat flys high andunches a barrage of air cutter towards Heatran, seeing the power of these air cutter Julian decided to not take any risk Julian "Heatran dodge then use methrower" Heatran dodges the air cutters by moving left and right then he aim upwards towards Golbat and sends a powerful methrower towards Golbat Koga "Ride alongside the methrower and use steel wing" Golbat moves away from the direction of the methrower then activate steel wing and glide closely near the methrower and try to hit Heatran on the face, Julian didn''t let this chance go. Julian "Heatran quickly abandon methrower and use bite on Golbat wings" As Julian instructed Heatran stops using methrower and when Golbat was near his face about to hit him with steel wing he opens his mouth and mps onto Golbat''s wings. Seeing Golbat being caught by Heatran Koga tries to think of something but he does not know what to do in this kind of situation, on the other hand, Golbat tries to struggle out but Heatran is too strong is any struggle is futile. Julian "Heatran lets finish this Magma storm" As Julian gives themand to use magma storm the surrounding starts to heat up and magma starts to form around Heatran as the magma looks like a small tornado ofva, Heatran releases Golbat from his clutches but unlucky for Golbat the hot magma thrashes and rams Golbat first taking it upwards and then mming it to the ground, the aftermath is known by everyone as there is no way that Golbat is able to escape that and as expected Golbat has fainted Aya "Golbat is unable to battle, Heatran wins" Koga "Your Heatran is way too powerful and thatst move is really devastating" Julian "Thank you for the praise" Koga "Your Heatran may be powerful but my next pokemon is way tougher than any other you had faced, go Nidoking" As Nidoking enters the battlefield Julian knew that it''s going to be a hard battle for Heatran, not because he is a week but Nidoking can cause 4 times the damage to Heatran as Nidoking also being a ground type which is strong against both steel and fire but he also has the perfect pokemon to face this Nidoking Julian "Your Nidoking looks really powerful, it looks like I have to switch my pokemon, Heatran return, go Ivysaur" As Ivysaur being both grass and poison type, he has an advantage against ground types and resistant to poison, seeing Julian send out an Ivysaur Koga nearly coughed blood as he knew that he was once again put in a disadvantage. Koga "You are really a cunning man" Julian "Pokemon battle is not just how strong a pokemon is and their trust towards their partners, it also depends on perfect strategy, a good battle n always lead to a high chance of victory" Koga "This is indeed true, then lets start, Nidoking use mega horn" Julian "Ivysaur dodge then use razor leaves" Ivysaur moves away to the right and dodges the rampaging Nidoking which wasing towards him with a mega horn and uses razor leaves, the razor leaves used this time were different from his previous method, as all the leaves formed a giant spinning de covered with energy which was sent crashing down towards Nidoking hurting him badly, Nidoking falls on the ground after getting hit by that huge razor leaf Julian ''That razor leaf was really effective, as an individual leaf didn''t do much damage, I instructed Ivysaur to use it like this looks like it has increased the power of razor leaf exceptionally'' Koga "Nidoking getup and use dragon tail" Nidoking quickly got up and swung his glowing tail towards Ivysaur Julian "Ivysaur quickly dodge and use leech seed" Ivysaur easily jumped up and dodged the dragon tail and sent a leech seed towards Nigoking draining some of his power. Koga ''That Ivysaur to too fast for Nidoking to catch up I have to find something to deal with it really fast, that''s it!'' Koga "Nidoking use ice beam and cover the whole battlefield with ice" Nidoking uses ice beam and freezes the whole ground and even freezing Ivysaur''s legs on the ground Koga "Great Nidoking lets finish this use hyper beam" Julian "That was indeed a great n but we are not defeated yet, Ivysaur use Sr beam to counter it" Both Nidoking and Ivysaur charge up and release their attack at full power, as the two moves sh the power from it shatters all the ice covering the battlefield freeing Ivysaur who was already about to escape from the recoil of using Sr beam, the attacks cause a very big explosion and breaks through the roof creating a huge hole on top, seeing this Koga doesn''t know what to do. After using both of their powerful moves both need time to recharge their energy but that not the case for Julian Julian "Its time to finish this, Ivysaur use synthesis, then hold Nidoking and use Giga drain" Ivysaur uses synthesis and recharges in an instant going back to full power and soon uses vine whip and hold Nidoking and uses Giga drain to suck up all the power from Nidoking. Nidoking loses all his strength and falls on his knees. Koga "Nidoking noooooooo" Julian "Now finish it up, use energy ball" Ivysaur creates a huge energy ball which is double his size and sends it towards Nidoking hitting him and creating a huge BOOM, when the smoke is cleared Nidoking is seen on the ground fainted Aya "Nidoking is unable to battle, Ivysaur wins, hence the winner of the challenge is Julian" Koga just sighs as he knew that Julian is a very strong trainer and there will be only few who could defeat him, he sends Nidoking back to his Pokeball and walks towards Julian Koga "Julian this is the Soul Badge, its a proof that you have defeated me to earn this" He gives Jin the soul badge which Julian happily epts Julian "It was a good battle, I will be going then" Julian sends Ivysaur back to his Pokeball puts the soul badge with the other four badges in his badge case and walks out of the gym Julian "Haaaa, it was a good battle now I will head back to the city to pick up my bike then go to Saffron city, I hope that brat Ash has fixed that weird gym leader''s problem". Chapter 27 - Meeting Ash Julian is in Fuchsia city at the pokemon center taking back his pokemons that he gave to Nurse Joy to look after his gum battle yesterday. Julian "Thank you, Nurse Joy" ?? Joy "No problem it''s my duty to keep every pokemon that walk in through the door healthy" Julian "Then I will be going" Julian walks out of the center and rides away leaving the city, his next destination is Saffron city, it took Julian two days to reach Saffron city, Julian also noticed that he was being watched by something but whenever he tried to find out who is spying on him he would only find one or two wild pokemons in the surrounding but he still felt like he was being watched but the person or thing who was spying on him didn''t have any malicious feeling towards him so he tried to ignore it so that it may lower its awareness so that he can find it but to his disappointment he never got even a glims of it. Julian ''Finally I have arrived at Saffron city, and what is that thing that keeps following me but doesn''t show up at all, let''s just ignore it, for now, I should first go to the pokemon center then check on the gym as I don''t want to face an almost mute girl and her talking doll, just thinking about it gives me the creeps'' It''s very early in the morning so the pokemon center doesn''t have any patients waiting so it was easy for Julian as his pokemons were brought back to their peak condition in an hour. Julian ''Now lets head towards the gym'' As Julian walks around he sees old people walking around the park, some doing normal exercise and some sitting and talking, he didn''t know what to think about this old people, once at a time he was an old man but now he has totally forgotten how it feels to be old, Julian decides to walk in the park and go to the gym afterward, as he was walking leisurely walking he suddenly see two people and four pokemon suddenly appearing before him one was wearing track pants and jacket with a duckbill can on his head he was in his middle age and the other one was a ten-year-old brat wearing a red cap and blue shirt, seeing Ash and a middle-aged man appear out of nowhere shocked him for a second but he soon calmed down because he knew what situation he was in now. Julian ''This man is clearly Sabrina''s father and a psychic user just like his daughter so he can teleport and see that Ash is with him and no sign of both Brock and Misty it means that they have been turned into dolls and these two have escaped'' Ash and Sabrina''s father was also surprised because they teleported in front of someone because they were in a hurry to escape. Ash, on the other hand, was looking at Julian and went into a trance as if he is trying to remember something Ash "Hey mister have I seen you somewhere" He looks at Julian and trying to think where he has seen this man before, Julian was not very happy to meet Ash now as he knew meeting Ash means meeting trouble but now he couldn''t do anything Ash "Ah, yes I remember now I saw you at professor oak''sb while you were taking care of some pokemons" Julian ''when did he see me? Ha it must be that time when he came with his mother to theb but I chose to avoid him but he still saw me'' Ash "I saw you were taking care of some rare pokemon, I wanted to see it very badly but you were gone before I could even approach you" Julian "Kid aren''t you forgetting something" Julian said as he pointed towards Sabrina''s father, Ash turned to see that the man who helps him escape was still there and got embarrassed that he forgot such an important matter Ash "Ah I am sorry mister I got carried away" Sabrina''s father "It''s not a problem but we have to save your friends first" Ash "Yes Sabrina''s the meanest trainer I ever met" Sabrina''s father "Well she wasn''t always such a mischievous girl" Ash "You mean you knew Sabrina before she changed?" Sabrina''s father "Huh? well I heard stories, though she was very young she becamepletely obsessed with her physic training, she didn''t want to make friends all she wanted was to be left alone and develop her powers, her parents tried to help but Sabrina used her physic powers to drive them away" Julian just listened to their conversation as he sees Sabrina''s father taking out a photo and handing it to Ash while continuing speaking Sabrina''s father "The conflict caused her to split into two different parts, one is the strong pokemon trainer who is always causing trouble and other is the lonely little girl who desperately desires to make friends, that doll that Sabrina is holding represent her true self which was before her training, before she rejected her true feelings" Ash looks at the picture carefully Ash "Sabrina has the same picture of her family in her room if you have the same picture then that means you are" Sabrina''s father ''Huh? does he know he must have figured it out by now after everything I have said he must have figured out the truth about Sabrina and me, he must have realized that I am Sabrina''s father'' Julian who was seeing this knew what Sabrina''s father was thinking and could only shake his head Julian ''Old man the person sitting next to you is even dumber than you think don''t get your hopes high'' Ash "Then that means you are a photographer" Listening to Ash''s answer Sabrina''s father fell off the bench which he was sitting on, even Ash''s Pikachu was disappointed in him Julian ''He indeed is really dumb'' Sabrina''s father "Don''t you see, don''t you get it?" Ash "Get what?" Sabrina''s father "Never mind" Ash "Sabrina has turned brock and Misty into dolls, how do we save them?" Sabrina''s father "We cannot do anything about that, the only way for you to rescue your friends is to defeat Sabrina, isn''t that why you went to Lavender town to catch a ghost pokemon?" Ash "But Haunter''s disappeared somece" Sabrin''s father "Then you have to find Haunter, or without it, you will never be able to defeat Sabrina" Ash "I guess not" He sighs in disappointment and looks down then he looks up and sees Julian with sparkling eyes Ash "Mister will you help me finding Haunter?" Julian ''I don''t want to get involved too much in the main plot but I just want to leave this city early so I think I should help him find Haunter fast" Julian "Ok I will help you, but stop calling me mister my name is Julian" Ash "Thank you, Julian, my name is Ash and I am from Pallet town" Julian "I know you are from pallet town, you said it before" Ash "Haha, it has be a habit of mine" he gets embarrassed and scratches back of his head Sabrina''s father looks at Julian gratefully "Young man thank you for the help" Julian just nods and follows Ash as they look for this missing Haunter, Julian knows that the Haunter is somewhere near the city so he wastes no time and takes Ash towards the city. At the city high at the side of a building standing on a hanging tform team rocket is nning on how to catch Pikachu but suddenly they get startled by the sudden appearance of Haunter before them and they nearly fall as Jessy hold the edge of the tform at thest moment as James and Meowth are hanging holding her Meowth "Jessy don''t let go of that edge or we all will fall down" James "Yes Jessy keep a tight grip" Jessy "I thought that we finally got away from all of those horrible ghost pokemon but they followed us all the way here" But to her misfortune Haunter didn''t leave them as he started to make funny faces and make Jessyugh James "Jessy no matter what happens don''tugh" But Jessy could not hold herughter as her grip loosens and all of them fall down. Julian knew about this as he has seen it before as he walks slowly in the city, team rocket just falls right before them creating a big hole on the ground before them, Ash looks inside the newly formed hole to be surprised Ash "Its team rocket" Julian, on the other hand, is very surprised by some other reason Julian ''The people in this world really have a very tough body after falling from such a tall hight they only suffered scratches'' Suddenly Haunter appears before them Ash "Haunter you stopped them from capturing Pikachu" Haunter "Hau Hau Hau"ughs seeing team rocket in this state Ash "Way to go, now let''s get back to Sabrina''s gym and save my friends, remember you promised me" Haunter thinks for a second and nods his head agreeing to Ash, he then turns around and looks at Julian and he remembers Julian as they had a lot of fun ying with himst time, so he goes and greets Julian Ash "Huh do you know Haunter" Julian you can say that, we have met in the past, but first lets head back and help your friends" Ash "Yes let''s go" So both Julian and Ash head towards the gym. Chapter 28 - Sabrina And The Creepy Doll Julian and Ash finally make it to the gym to see that Sabrina is ying with Brock and Misty''s doll, Julian just gets the creep when he sees the doll in Sabrina''s hand. Julian ''That doll is the only reason I didn''t want to battle her, I personally think that the doll is too creepy and just imagining it talking to me gives me chills, what a weird girl and her stupid unknown reason to be a physic'' ?? Ash "Sabrina" Sabrina turns around and sees Ash then she looks at Julian, Julian doesn''t give a fuck and walks to the corner and sit down Sabrina "I knew you would be back and it looks like you brought another friend," She is still looking at Julian who ispletely ignoring her then she continues talking to Ash Sabrina "Have you returned for more humiliation, haven''t you realized that you will never defeat me" Ash "Brock and Misty are my friends and I cannot leave them behind, not even if you turn me and all my pokemons into dolls" Julian ''well at least he has a brave heart to face circumstances'' Doll "If you wanna be a doll too I will be d to y with you, it will be a one on one battle Sabrina''s pokemon will be" she then throws out Kadabra Julian ''That doll is the most creepy thing in the universe, don''t tell me it''s not creepy, a doll that talks and wants to turn you into a doll so she could y with you, No No No, forget about talking I don''t even want that thing near me'' While Julian was having all these thoughts he outer appearance still remained the same, that same I don''t give a fuck attitude Ash "And for my pokemon I choose Haunter" Sabrina "Haunter?" Doll "Well, where is your pokemon?" Ash looks around to find hunter but looks like Haunter disappeared and he soon starts to panic Ash "Oh no, not again" Sabrina "Why don''t you forfeit?" Doll "That way I will have new dolls to y with" Julian ''can someone shove a fucking cloth in that doll''s mouth so it could stop talking, jeezzzz'' Ash "Aaahhhh, Haunter Haunter, you promised me where did you go, please stop hiding Haunter" Ash enters in full panic mode and calls out Haunter out of his lungs Sabrina "This time you won''t escape" Doll "Hehehe, My new dolly" Julian ''For the love of God, if that doll speaks again I will throw a fucking knife at it'' Ash "Dolly?" Ash loses all his confidence and stumbles on the ground but to his rescue, his Pikachu steps forward, seeing Pikachu standing to protect him he warns Pikachu. Ash "Pikachu" Ash tries to stop him Ash "You don''t stand a chance against Kadabra, you will get beat up again,e back" Pikachu "Pi-Pika" Pikachu replies back to ash which only he is able to understand Ash "You don''t want Sabrina to turn me into a doll" Pikachu "Pikachu" Pikachu nods his head agreeing to Ash and gets ready to battle Ash "You wanna fight for me?" Pikachu "Pika" he nods his head again Ash "Aww, Pikachu you are a real pal" Ash "Pikachu use thunderbolt" Sabrina "Kadabra use teleport" As Pikachuunches thunderbolt Kadabra easily dodges it using Teleport multiple times Sabrina "Kadabra Psybeam" Kadabra suddenly appears in front of Pikachu and uses Psybeam and his directly making Pikachu dizzy. Ash "Hang on there Pikachu,e back on Kadabra with a thunderbolt" Pikachu shakes of the dizziness and sends a thunderbolt towards Kadabra and hit very hard causing damage to Kadabra Ash "That''s it" He bes happy that his attack finally hit but it didn''tst long Sabrina "Recover" Kadabra uses recover and gets back to perfect health again Ash "Huh?" Sabrina "Its impossible for you to win" Then suddenly Haunter appears out of nowhere and starts tough Ash "Haunter?" Haunter "Hau Hau Hau Hau" Doll "Two against ones not fair" As soon as the doll talks it really ticks Julian so he puts his hand inside his pouch and ready to take out a knife and throw at the doll but suddenly Sabrina''s fatheres out of nowhere so he stops his action Sabrina''s father "It is just ying around on its own, Haunter is not battling against you so it isn''t against the rules" On the other hand, Haunter starts making funny faces and tries to make Sabrinaugh, he then suddenly takes out a bomb and make it explodes causing Haunter and Sabrina''s face turn ck, seeing this Haunter startsughing and after few seconds Sabrina follow up by smiling, seeing her smile her dad bes very happy Sabrina''s father "She is smiling" Ash "Is that Sabrinaughing?" Julian ''it really is so stupid that being her parents they couldn''t make herugh, this scene is killing my brain cells'' but on the outside, his facial expression never changed Sabrina''s father "Ever since she started her Psychic training as a little girl I have never seen herugh like this, I have never seen her this happy in her entire life" Ash "But if you knew Sabrina since she was a little girl does that mean?" Sabrina''s father "Hmm, you must have figured it out huh" Ash "You must have taken her baby pictures too" Julian ''His dumbness it above god level'' Hearing Ash''s answer he falls down again as he gets pissed of due to Ash''s dumbness Sabrina''s father "Just how dense can a person be" He shouts at Ash but quickly tones down Sabrina''s father "But I am d you came back, that haunter has helped Sabrina open up her closed heart" Ash "What do you mean, Haunter was supposed to battle and defeat Kadabra but he is making friends with the opponent, I will be turned into a doll" Sabrina''s father "Look over there" He points out towards Kadabra who is rolling aroundughing while holding his stomach, seeing this Ash gets confused as what his happening Ash "I don''t get it, it looks like Kadabra is in pain" Sabrina''s father "Kadabra is not in pain, Sabrina and Kadabra are joined telepathically so whatever Sabrina is experiencing Kadabra also shares it so Kadabra is rolling withughter" Ash "Haaaaaaa?" Ash doesn''t know what to say as his Jaw drops downwards Julian, on the other hand, was keeping an eye on the doll the whole time and as it finally disappeared he breathe a sigh of relief Julian ''I hope that I will never encounter another talking doll in my life'' As the doll disappeared both Brock and Misty turned back to their normal form and there was another person who turned back from a doll to normal and it was Sabrina''s mother Sabrina''s father "Since Kadabra is unable to battle I officially dere Pikachu as the winner" Ash was happy that he won but he still had some conflict with his emotions as he had not won the battle fair and square Brock and Misty run towards Ash and hugs him Brock/Misty "Ash you saved us" Sabrina also stopsughing and walks towards Ash and his friends Sabrina "I am so sorry for turning you into dolls" Brock and Misty didn''t know what to say so they just epted the apology Sabrina turns towards her parents who have finally reunited Sabrina "Mom, Dad I am so sorry" Sabrina''s father "Its ok Sabrina, I hope you be a good person" Sabrina''s mother "Its alright I forgive you" As all were talking happily, they hear a voice Julian "Now that all is settled can I challenge the Gym?" All of them turned around to see Julian slowly walking towards them, Misty and Brock who had met Julian before get surprised seeing here Misty "You, I know you, You are that trainer with that scary Gyarados" Brock "I also know him he had defeated me 2 months ago in a gym battle" Ash "What you guys know Julian, he was the one who helped me find Haunter but after arriving here Ipletely forgot about him" Sabrina''s father "Thankyou you man for helping Ash, you have indirectly helped Sabrina recover, as for the battle" He looks at Sabrina. Sabrina''s father "Sabrina are you able to have another battle?" Sabrina "Yes dad I and Kadabra are not tired at all, we are ready for another battle" Julian "Good, then let''s get ready" Julian gets ready and stands at one side of the battlefield as he waits for Sabrina to take her stance. Chapter 29 - Kadabra Vs Gengar Julian gets ready and stands at one side of the battlefield as he waits for Sabrina to take her stance, Sabrina''s father decides to be the referee as Sabrina heads towards the other side of the battlefield, Ash and his friends walks to the side as they also want to see this match Sabrina''s father "Are you guys ready?" ?? Julian/Sabrina "Yes" Sabrina''s father "Then I will tell you the rules, both the challenger and gym leader will use one pokemon each, the pokemon who is unable to battle loses and henceforth the ending of challenge" Sabrina "Go Kadabra" Kadabra enters the battlefield as he looks towards Julian waiting for his opponent Julian "Go Gengar" Gengar enters the stageughing creepy suddenly turning the surrounding cold sending chills down everyone''s spine except Julian as he had already specified Gengar to intimidate the opponent as soon as he enters the battlefield, and it works as Kadabra is a little startled by the creepy atmosphere which suddenly appeared as soon as Gengar appeared. Ash "Why did the surroundings go so cold as soon as Gengar appeared" Brock "Gengars has the ability to steal heat from their surrounding and turning it cold, that''s why when people who are traveling in mountains when suddenly feel cold and chills running down their spine they know that a Gengar is nearby and quickly try to escape, some even think that if they stay too long near a wild Gengar they might get cursed" Ash "I see" Ash stopped talking and started to look at the battlefield where there was a stare down between Gengar and Kadabra Sabrina "Kadabra use Psybeam" Julian "Gengar dodge" Gengar easily dodges multiple Psybeam by disappearing and reappearing in different ces Julian "Gengar use shadow punch" Gengar suddenly disappears and reappears in front of Kadabra Sabrina "Kadabra teleport then use thunder wave" Kadabra just escapes the shadow punch by an inch distance and teleported behind Gengar sending thunder waves towards him Julian "Gengar go underground" Gengar suddenly goes right through the ground as the thunder wave hits the ground then get dispelled as Gengar is nowhere to be seen Kadabra looks left and right to find him, Julian, on the other hand, was looking at Kadabra carefully but a little downwards in his shadows, as Gengar was hiding in Kadabra''s shadow, seeing Julian smiling Sabrina quickly notice that Julian was looking at Kadabra''s shadow as she looked at Kadabra''s shadow she saw two red eyes opening, but it was toote Julian "Gengar use lick" Sabrina "Not good, Kadabra quickly teleport from there" Kadabra couldn''t teleport out of there in time as Gengar used Lick and paralyzed Kadabra on the spot Julian "Now use Shadow punch" Gengar used Shadow punch on Kadabra sending it rolling back on the ground Sabrina "Kadabra are you ok?" Kadabra struggles and gets up and nods at Sabrina Julian "Your Kadabra is strong, I thought that thest move was enough to defeat you but I was wrong" Sabrina "Thanks for that, but Kadabra and I won''t lose so easily" Julian nods his head as he knew that Sabrina even though was a weird girl but her trust towards Kadabra is at another level. Ash who is looking at the battle with sparkling eyes Ash "Julian''s Gengar is really powerful" Misty "That Gengar is indeed strong but waits till you see his Gyarados that pokemon is really scary" She just shivers when she thinks back about Julian''s Gyarados" Brock "Julian is a very experienced trainer when he fought me with his Bulbasaur which evolved into Ivysaur and it was also powerful than any other Ivysaur I have ever seen, he just used one pokemon to defeat me" Ash who listens to Brock and Misty gets really impressed by Julian and get the desire to battle him. Back to the battlefield. Sabrina "Kadabra recover" Julian "You think I will give you a chance to recover, Gengar use shadow ball" Kadabra uses Recover to heal itself but when he looks towards Gengar he sees no one, Gengar being very sneaky and having a great understanding of how to battle which Julian has thought him silently appears behind Kadabra and starts to create a shadow ball Sabrina "Kadabra behind you" But it was toote as soon as Kadabra turn around the shadow ball hit him sending him rolling on the ground again but this time he was more injured than thest time Julian "This time your Kadabra has taken more damage even if he uses recover his health will not fully recover" Sabrina is now under immense pressure as she doesn''t know how to deal with Gengar, she can only hope for some lucky encounter Sabrina "Kadabra use recover again" Julian "Well at least it will help your Kadabrast long, Gengar use shadow ball again" Sabrina "Kadabra counter it with Psybeam" Both pokemons send out their attack as it shes causing a huge explosion and dust rising everywhere Julian smirks and says "Just what I was waiting for, Gengar now use lick" Gangar using the dust as a distraction quickly appears behind Kadabra and use lick again to paralyze Kadabra, as the dust settles down Sabrina sees Kadabra paralyzed and grits her teeth Julian "Gengar lets finish this use Shadow w" Gengar charges towards Kadabra and delivers a devastating Shadow w sending Kadabra crashing down. Brock "Using the dust raised by the collision and using a sneak attack, not only Julian is an exceptional trainer he also keeps eye on everything going around him to use it as an advantage, indeed a formidable opponent" Sabrina "KADABRA" But when Julian saw that Kadabra was not down yes even though he was struggling to get up he was not down even after those powerful attack, Julian was really impressed by Kadabra''s willpower and toughness. Sabrina "Kadabra you are in bad shape do you still want to continue?" Kadabra nods his head and telling Sabrina telepathically that he wants to fight till the end, Julian also knows what Kadabra is thinking as he sees the determination in his eyes Julian "I am very impressed by your determination but its really time to finish this, Gengar use Poison gas" Gengar sprays poison gas everywhere on the battlefield so that Kadabra cannot escape and the attack is really sessful as Kadabra is affected by the Gas causing him to be light headed then dizzy Julian "Finish this Sucker Punch" As Sucker punch being a very high priority move there is no way of escaping it and it also is a dark type caused arge amount of damage to Kadabra who was already weak and affected by poison, after getting hit Kadabra faints on the spot with no resistance, Sabrina just stays silent as she knew that she could have never won the battle as the person in the front was always thinking two steps ahead of her putting her in a disadvantage from the start. Sabrina''s father "Kadabra is unable to battle so the winner of this battle and the challenge is Gengar and Julian" Sabrina "Come back Kadabra you did great, now you can rest" She calls Kadabra back into his Pokeball and walks towards Julian and gives him the Marsh Badge Sabrina "This is the Marsh Badge proof that you defeated me in a gym battle" Julian takes the badge and keeps it inside his case and is about to walk out when he is blocked by Ash. Ash "Julian you and your Gengar are really strong, I want to have a pokemon battle with you" Julian looks at Ash and doesn''t know what to say Julian ''Oh God this Kid is annoying'' Julian "You still are too weak for you to have a battle with me, when you be more strong in the future then I will think about it" Ash bes disappointed after hearing Julian Brock "Ash, Julian is right you still have a long way to go you should first grow strong then challenge Julian once again" Misty "Yes Ash you should listen to Brock" Ash gets back his spirit after beingforted by his friends, then he looks at Julian with determined eyes Ash "I promise that I will be strong and challenge you again" Julian "Then I will be going" Ash "Wait where are you going" Julian "I am heading to Cdon city to challenge the gym there" Ash "Can wee with you" Julian "Well the thing is I only have one bike and walking isn''t my foretake so I don''t know how that is possible" Ash "Ah, I see" Julian "Then I will be going" Julian walks out the Gym and heads towards the center as he has left his bike there. Chapter 30 - Celadon City Julian is on his way to Cdon city where he is going to have his seventh gym battle, on his way he encounters different pokemons whoe and visit him when he is feeding his pokemons to eat with them, Julian feels weird that every time he tries to feed his pokemons, a random pokemones and eats the food Julian gives even though its weird Julian has no exnation for it so he just Ignores it, he had many spections about this incident he even suspect that it is rted to that thing that''s following him, but having no evidence to back it up he didn''t investigate any further. As he is traveling through a rocky area he sees a Mankey and he knows that this will be Ash''s next pokemon, Mankey who was jumping around ying around see this bike speeding towards him, he tries to chase the bike but it was no use as Julian just hit the elerator and drives of very fast not wanting to involve with this troublesome Mankey. ?? Julian finally reaches Cdon city after a day of riding and resting he also trains his pokemons as Elekid, Kabuto, and Ivysaur are near evolution Monferno and Pidgeotto are just a little behind but will catch up soon the most progress are made by Gengar and Heatran as they are leveling up and honing their speed pretty fast. When he reaches the city he sees tall building everywhere and the street has some kind of lingering sweet scent to it. Julian "Cdon city is indeed the most advanced city in Kanto, this city has everything to buy and the perfume sold here are said to be pretty impressive, well I can just tell it by smelling the air around here it lingers with a little amount of scent" Julian goes to a pokemon center and makes his pokemonse back to perfect health, this time he decides to stay in a hotel as he is bored staying in pokemon center every time he visits a city, he rides around the city and finally finds a five-star hotel, as Julian has be rich after defeating the gym leaders he doesn''t have to worry about spending money at all, he parks his bike and walk into the five-star hotel, the receptionist who is present on the counter bes excited as she saw how handsome Julian was and seeing him walking towards her made her heart beat faster Receptionist "Wee to Grand Cdon hotel sir how may I help you" Julian "I want a room" Receptionist "May I have your ID sir" Julian gives his ID to her, she quickly enters the details and gives a room number with the key to Julian Julian "Thankyou" Receptionist "No problem Sir, If there is any trouble just dial 1 on the phone in the room I will personally pick up the call and try to help you" Julian nced at the receptionist then walks away without saying anything, seeing that Julian didn''t respond back to her she felt a little disappointed but quickly got her self back to her work" As Julian was entering the elevator to go up he was stopped by anotherdy who suddenly rushed and stopped the closing elevator door as she entered the elevator Julian is really surprised by thisdy''s beauty, she had brown eyes and red hair as she wore a red tight fitting bodycon dress which disyed her perfect curves andrge breast pretty nicely, it was not only Julian who was impressed by her beauty the same can be said to this woman as well because she suddenly fell in a trance after looking at Julian''s handsome face and fierce red eyes, she had never seen a man so handsome before, as she fell out of her trance she noticed that Julian was staring at her breast feeling proud that she has gained this man''s attention she puffs her breast a little to disy them. Woman "Don''t you think it''s rude to stare at ady''s breast so openly in front of her" Julian "Its indeed rude but if a gorgeous woman is showing them off in front of me I cannot help but admire them" Woman "Oh, you are a very straightforward I see, I like this type of men, by the way, my name is Chloe" Julian "Nice to meet you, Chloe my name is Julian" Julian takes her hand and kisses it at the back Chloe "You are sure a gentleman I see, I really start to like you" Julian "If you allow me to spend more time with you, you will definitely start to like me more and more" Chloe "It''s a good Idea how about today after 5 pm we can meet each other at the lunch area of this hotel" Julian "Then I will be looking forward to it" As the elevator is climbing up Julian and Chloe talk a little till they reach there respective floor but to their surprise, their room is on the same floor next to each other. Julian "It looks like we will be seeing each other very soon" Chloe "Hehe, I am looking forward to it" Julian enters his room as he starts to freshen up himself as he has a date in the next few hours Julian ''Damn that Chloe is hot I hope all goes fine today'' Julian doesn''t know that Chloe is pretty aroused right now as she was thinking about how her date will be with Julian but she got little carried away with her imagination and is now masturbating in the bathroom calling out Julian''s name lucky for her the room walls are soundproof. Its 5 pm and Julian is ready when he suddenly hears a doorbell when he opens the door he sees Chloe wearing a ck dress which is even shorter than her previous one her cleavage was clearly noticeable and she is even wearing stockings seeing her dress like this Julian is really impressed as for how sexy she can be with this dress. Julian "My, Chloe you are looking very sexy it''s going to very hard to control my self" Chloe "That exactly what I want" She says in a flirtatious tone as shees near Julian and licks his lips, even though Julian gets pretty excited after this but he controls himself as he will not give in to temptation so easily. Julian "Then shall we go?" He extends his hand and invites her to their date, Chloe is a little disappointed as her method couldn''t give her an upper hand but she likes this feeling ofpetition in which who will be the dominant one. Julian also know the thought going through her mind and now want to show her who really is dominant, in their date they have a lot of fun, Chloe tries several times to make Julian give up but his willpower is harder than a rock as their datees to an end Chloe is really down as she could not make Julian put his guard down but she hasn''t given up as she knows that the final battle is about to take ce, as they enter Julian''s room he kisses her and walks towards the TV and turn it on as he sat down the sofa and looks at Chloe who is puffing her cheeks seeing this Julian holds hisughter Julian "Why don''t you go and freshen up we can then continue" Chloe thinks about it a little bit then heads towards the bathroom after few minutes when Chloe is already in the bathroom Julian takes his chance and appears behind her naked and grabs her tits and starts to fondle them while he rubs his dick on her ass, suddenly being attacked from behind Chloe thinks its not fair but she is not able toin as Julian''s fingers run magic around her breast as he pinches her nipples and ys with them. Chloe "Nhaah~ Julian not ~ nhaayyy ~ my nipples ~mmm~ they are very sensitive" Julian "You should have seen thising as you tried so hard to make me put my guard down" Julian slowly puts one of his hand down as he starts to rub her pussy and y with her clit, he then slowly inserts his finger inside her pussy and starts to stir it in, being her pussy and breast yed by Julian Chloe moans with pleasure. Chloe "mmm ~Julian I am Nhaayyy~ about to cum" As she was about to cum Julian suddenly stops, seeing that Julian suddenly stops when she was about to burst out she bes a little frustrated but as she was about to turn around, Julian picks her by her waist and ms her on to a wall and furiously starts to kiss her as his tongue enters her mouth they start to entangle with each other like wild snakes, after kissing for a minute and finally stopping to catch a breath when they separate their mouth the saliva drips down from their tongue, when Julian sees that Chloe''s face has turned totally red and is filled with expression of lust he bes really assured, he gets to his knees and lift one of her leg and suddenly starts to use his tongue, he ys with her clit and inserts his tongue inside her pussy, feeling her pussy devoured by Julian Chloe''s mind goes nk as she is only experiencing pleasure and nothing is there in her mind. Chloe "~nhayyyyyyyy~ mmmmmmhhh~han, Julian ~mmmm ~ Julian I am, ~mmm~ about to cum" As she was about to burst out again it happened again Julian suddenly stopped eating her pussy, this time Chloe was really helpless as she has missed her orgasm for the second time Chloe "Why?" Julian doesn''t answer her question as he smiles at her and suddenly lifts her up and takes her to the bedroom, he throws her on the bed as he climbs on top of her showing her his dick which is standing straight, when she looks at his dick she is really shocked because this was the biggest dick she had ever seen Chole ''will it even fit inside me'' As Chloe waits for Julian''s dick to enter her pussy, Julian is just rubbing it on top of her pussy making her very frustrated Chloe "JUST PUT IT IN" She shouts as she cannot take it anymore as she has already missed her orgasm two times, but Julian justsugh Julian "Not until you admit defeat that I have won our little challenge" Chloe "I admit defeat please put it in me" Julian "Ask for it properly while calling me, master" Chloe hesitates for a second but she cannot take the teasing anymore as she finally sumbs to her lust Chloe "Master Julian please put your dick inside my perverted pussy" Julian "Good here we go" Julian inserts his huge dick inside her pussy as it goes in very smoothly as Chloe''s pussy is very wet and her juices are pouring out, as Julian''s dick enters her pussy shepletely lost her mind as she had never had something inside her which directly hit the entrance of her womb. Chloe "~NHHAAAAAYYYYYYYY~ OMG ~MMMMMMM~ ITS HITTING THE DEEPEST PARTS INSIDE ME" Julian just rams her inside out causing her to moan louder and louder with each thrust, after fucking her for five minutes he finally bursts out with a huge orgasm. Chloe "Omg hah hah, that felt so good, I am hah hah so tired" But before she gets a chance to breathe Jin starts to thrust again Chloe "NO ~nhyyyaaaaa~ not so fast, ~nhyyaaa I just came" Julian doesn''t listen at all as he continues to thrust, and so they continue this till five round. Chloe isying on Julian''s chest very tired as he ys with her breast lightly Chloe "I didn''t even know that sex could be this good, I think I cannot walk tomorrow" Julian "You don''t have to you can just rest" Chloe slowly falls asleep seeing this Julian also closes his eyes. Next morning when Julian opens his eyes he sees Chloe sucking his dick aggressively. Julian "You really are a horny woman" Chloe "When I woke up I saw that it was standing, I couldn''t help my self" Julian "You asked for this" He suddenly gets up and puts her down and they start fucking for an another round, after finishing Chloe is tired and lying on the bed as cum drips out her pussy. Chloe "By the way Julian when are you leaving?" Julian "I think I will challenge the gym today and leave" Chloe "Will I ever meet you again?" Julian "If you want you cane with me, as I really like you" Chloe "For now I cannote with you as I have some things to settle before leaving, but as soon as I finish everything I will call you" Julian "That works for me" He kisses her onest time and walks out of the room Chapter 31 - Electabuzz Julian walks out of the hotel after checking out and directly heads towards the Cdon gym when he arrives there he is greeted by a group ofdies wearing a pink uniform, seeing Julian the girls were really excited because of his great looks Girl 1 "Sir what is the purpose of your visit here?" ?? Julian "I am here to challenge the gym leader to a pokemon battle" Girl 1 "Sir do you like perfume?" Julian "Well I don''t use any but I don''t dislike them either, I think they smell nice" Girl 1 "Any person who likes perfume is weed inside the gym, sir please wait near the battle arena I will go and call the gym leader for you" Julian "works for me" Julian walks inside and heads towards the battle arena when he reaches there he looks around to see that the battlefield is a simple one and there is nothing he can use for his advantage Julian ''I will use Elekid in this battle even though he will have a type disadvantage it might help him simte his evolution into Electabuzz then I will have to find an electirizer so that he can evolve further into Electivire'' While Julian is pondering how to battle and making a strategy, Ady walks in with blue hair, dark green eyes, and a blue bodycon style uniform she is, of course, the gym leader of Cdon gym Erika, when she looks at Julian she is surprised by how handsome Julian is but she gets back to her track as she has to perform her duty, she walks and stands across the battlefield and waits for Julian. Seeing that Erika is already here Julian also walks towards the battlefield and takes his stance. Julian "I am Julian and I am here to challenge you to a pokemon battle" Erika "I gym leader of Cdon gym ept your challenge, But first the rules we both will use three pokemons, unlike me, you will be able to switch pokemons during our match" Julian "I understand" Erika "Then lets start, go Tang" Julian "Come on out Elekid" Elekides out with arrogance on his face as he generates Electricity between his two horns Erika "Aren''t you a little overconfident by using an electric type pokemon against my grass type?" Julian "It''s not overconfidence, my Elekid just likes hard challenges" Elekid also shows off his powers by generating more electricity between his horns after listening to Julian to intimidate his opponent but Tang doesn''t get fazed by it Erika "We will see about that, Tang use vine whip and grab on to Elekid" Julian "Elekid dodge then use swift" Elekid dodges theing vine whips towards him and sends out multiple star-shaped projectiles towards Tang Erika "Tang counter it with sludge bomb" The swifts and sludge bomb colids together creating multiple explosion, Julian doesn''t waste any time and continues Julian "Elekid quick thundershock" Elekid quickly sends out a zap of electricity towards Tang hitting it, even though Tang gets hurt it is not very effective, but there are still some after effects of thundershock as Tang is covered by lite amount of electricity which activates every 15 seconds and zapping Tang a little but it doesn''t do a lot of damage. Elekid "Even though that thundershock is strong it cannot cause critical damage to my Tang" Julian "The battle has just started let us continue, Elekid use swift again" Erika "Counter it again using sludge bomb" Julian "Use thundershock now" Erika "You think you can pull off the same move again, Tang quickly dodge then use vine whip and drag Elekid" Tang dodges the thundershock and uses vine whips and gets a hold of Elekid and slowly starts to drag Elekid towards it Erika "What are you going to do now?" She smiles and looks at Julian but she suddenly starts to frown seeing that Julian is smiling widely instead of getting worried, she then suddenly realizes but it was toote Julian "Now Elekid shock wave" Erika "Quick Tang let go of Elekid" But Elekid doesn''t give a chance to Tang and holds the vine whip with his hands and suddenly sends out shock wave which at the same time hits Tang when the after-effects of the previous thundershock re again but this time it bes more powerful because of the shock wave simting it causing Tang to suffer a massive amount of shock immediately making it unable to battle. Erika "You were actually waiting for that after effect to re up again so you can simte it to make it more powerful" Julian "Well you are right but you figgered it out a little toote" Erika "I have to admit that your Elekid is indeed strong" Julian "Elekid, you did great" Elekid, hearing Julian prase him arrogantly puffs his chest and bangs it with one of his arms then suddenly he starts to glow Julian ''Who would have thought that just praising him a little would have simted the evolution, but it a good thing'' Julian couldn''t do anything but shake his head seeing that it only took single praise to evolve his Elekid when Elekid finally stopped glowing he was bigger stronger and had gained a little more arrogance he was a little bigger than a normal Electabuzz standing 1.3 meters tall. Julian ''Looks like my special training and care can turn any pokemon stronger and bigger haha, System disy Eletabuzz''s stats'' _________________ Status - Electabuzz Level - 30 Age - 3 years State - happy Bond - 80% Hp - 80 Attack - 100 Defense - 70 Sp.

Erika "Go Weepinbell" Julian "Eletabuzz lets continue" Erika "Weepinbell use razor leaf" Julian "Counter it with Thunderbolt" Electabuzz sends out arge amount of electricity towards the uing razor leaves and burns itpletely Erika "Weepinbell spread sleeping power all over the battlefield" Weepinbell spreads the sleeping power all over the battlefield and waits for Electabuzz to fall asleep but her surprise Erika sees that Eletabuzz is not affected by the sleeping powder Erika "But how?" Erika cannot believe one of her very effective moves didn''t work Julian "Electabuzz has an ability called vital spirit which prevents it from falling asleep" Erika doesn''t know what to do because of she tries toe in contact with Electabuzz the same fate will fall upon Weepinbell as happened to Tang, Julian also didn''t give any time for her toe up with a new strategy as it will simply extend the battle which he didn''t like Julian "Electabuzz use quick attack" Erika who was still thinking of a way to fight back didn''t get a chance tomand Weepinbell as it was toote as Electabuzz sent Weepinbell flying back Julian "Now finish it off with Thunderbolt" While Weepinbell was still in the air it was again attacked by a huge thunderbolt causing it to faint. Erika called back her Weepinbell to its Pokeball and was now was ready to send out her third and final pokemon. Erika "Go Gloom" Julian ''this is going to be troublesome if Electabuzz smells the stench thates out of it pistils'' Julian "Electabuzz keep your distance from gloom" Erika didn''t expect Julian had already warned his pokemon about the danger but she should have expected that as Julian from the beginning was fighting using his brain, her only chance is to win is to get Gloom near Electabuzz. Erika "Gloom use acid" Julian "Dodge" Electabuzz dodges theing acid as it falls on the ground causing the ground to bubble and rot. Julian ''These acid attacks are really potent and can put most of the pokemon in huge trouble'' Erika "Gloom now get near Electabuzz while its distracted" Julian "Electabuzz always has his attention on his opponent even if he is not looking, he is never distracted, Electabuzz send it back using swift" Gloom gets hit by multiple swift and sends it rolling back Julian "Let''s finish this, use thunderbolt" Electabuzz sends a powerful Thunderbolt at Gloom who is still on the ground. Erika "Gloom try to dodge" But its no use as the thunderbolt already reached gloom and electrocutes it causing it to faint, Julian had easily won the battle after Elekid evolving and from there it was really a one-sided battle. Erika sends Gloom back and gives Julian the Rainbow Badge, Julian takes the badge and walks out of the gym. Julian ''I already have seven badges but the eighth badge will be very difficult as thest badge is in Veridian city and Giovanni being the leader I have to defeat Mewtwo, its good that I have Gengar and Mewtwo is still severallycking as its still forcefully controlled by the machine attached to it limiting it battle potential, lets forget about it now, three months have passed since I started my journey and it wille to a finish soon then another will begin soon after, I will travel everywhere in this world and if possible even outside this but for that there is still a long time'' Chapter 32 - Travelling To Sevii Islands Julian has left Cdon city and now has set up a camp near ake, Julian is sitting and wondering what he should do next as he has finished most of the gym battles in just four months he has traveled all over the Kanto region, but still there are a few ces he wants to visit and that''s what he is thinking right now Julian ''My pokemons have grown a lot stronger but now they are cking a little as they don''t have any tough opponent and they are bing powerful very fast leaving many behind them, they need some challenge and I think I know just the right ce for that, The Sevii Inds particrly the Knot ind in it, home to Mt. Ember where I will find the perfect opponent for my pokemons'' ?? Julian "Guys get ready we will next go towards Sevii Inds and some of you will be facing an extremely powerful pokemon so train hard, Monferno perfect your closebat and control over fire and Heatran well you have grown more powerful than ever I doubt you will lose any fight so do your regr training, the rest of you also do your regr training as its going to be hell of a journey" All of his pokemons be excited as they start to train harder, they all want to be powerful and want to win the Indigo league, there training goes by as three days passes in a sh Julian is on his way to the nearest seaport to go to Cinnabar Ind than from there towards Sevii Inds. He finds a Ferry and onboard it while traveling Julian had nothing to do but stare at the sea, it took him another two days to reach the Ind, when he reached the Cinnabar Ind he saw ine who was talking to some people walking by with his disguise on, Julian walks towards him. Julian "ine what are you doing?" ine "Oh Julian you came back, are you here on a vacation or did you like the service of my Inn and wanted to experience it more?" Julian "No I came here just to stop for a little while then head towards Sevii Inds" ine "Sevii Inds? Ha I see you want to catch some rare pokemons from there" Julian "No I have enough pokemons I am just going there to train, now mind telling me what are you doing here?" ine "I was just giving some riddles to trainers who areing to the Ind for vacation instead of wanting a pokemon battle like the olden days, the tourist has really made this ind amercial market" Julian "Ya I know that you hate tourist, then I will be going you do you" ine "Wait" Julian "What is it?" ine "Take this" ine takes out a pass and hands it over to Julian, Julian looks at the pass and is confused Julian "What is this?" ine "This is a tri-pass it will allow you to travel between the Sevii Inds for free" Julian "I see, thank you" ine "No problem, I only gave them to you because it will be a waste if I hold on to it, I don''t intend to go there anyway" Julian "Then I will be going" Julian decides to stay on the ind and give his pokemons some care as he takes them to a pokemon spa and relives there stress built up from all the training they did recently. The next day Julian left his bike at ine''s inn and boards a ferry which is heading to Sevii Ind, he didn''t get charged any money due to the pass. He has now finally arrived at the Sevii Ind''s first ind the Knot ind his destination, he enters the Ind and that this ce is also inhabited by people but there are some pokemons here which don''t belong to the Kanto region, as Julian saw a Totodile with one of the trainers here Julian ''Looks like there are some pokemons from the Jhoto region can be found here, this Sevii Ind is indeed a perfect ce for training'' Julian walks around this ind and soon notice that this is the only town present in this Ind while walking around Julian sees a ce called ''Pokemon Net Center'', Julian gets curious and walks in to find a man with dirty green color hair and wearing oval shaped gasses. Julian "I got curious after reading the sign outside so I came to see what is this ce" Celio "Hello my name is Celio and I run this ce, and what do I do here is help peoplemunicate from different regions" Julian "Different regions?" Celio "Yes the machine right there can help memunicate with people of different regions, as the Inds don''t have many powerful satellites peoplee here so that they can talk to some of their rtives who mostly live in Jhoto and Hoenn region" Julian "Ah, I see" Celio "But the machine has suddenly stopped working as the ruby stone which was powering it somehow cracked causing the machine to stop working, can you help me by finding one" Julian "Where can I find this ruby" Celio "You will be able to find it near Mt. Ember" Julian "I cannot promise you anything, I am going to Mt. Ember if I find one I will give it to you or else you have to find it somewhere else" Celio "You trying to find it is enough" Julian soon gets bored of this ce and leaves as he heads towards Mt. Ember. Chapter 33 - Moltres Vs Monferno Julian arrives near Mt. Ember and sees a huge mountain with smokeing out of the top Julian seeing this spectes that the volcano is active and can erupt at any time, He walks around the mountain to find a way to enter the volcano but cannot find any entrance on the ground, so he decides to climb up and see if he can find any, he takes out two small pickaxes from his pouch and starts to climb up the volcano, after reaching half the hight fo the volcano he finds a ledge so he climbs onto it and looks around and rests while he is looking around he sees a small entrance near the top right corner so he decides to go and see if he can go inside the volcano with this small entrance after he reaches the entrance he climbs in and start to crawl inside as he goes further he can feel the heat hitting his face so Julian knew he was near the exit, after crawling for a few minutes he finally reaches the other side. When he reaches there he finds the inside of the volcano to be very big and a spiral type of staircase going downwards and hot boilingva at the bottom, Julian looks up to see the blue sky and knows that his destination is downwards, as he walks down the spiral staircase he can feel the heat getting warmer and warmer as he goes further down when he reaches the end of the spiral staircase he finds a cave but Julian is not certain whether the inside of the cave is safe or not. ?? He calls out Heatran and sends him to investigate further what is inside the cave as he is the perfect pokemon for this situation after waiting for a while Heatranes out and informs Julian that there is no danger inside the cave, Julian sends Heatran back to his Pokeball as he enters the cave. Julian finds many small magma stones inside the cave which he stores inside his pouch so Heatran can have itter as Julian keeps walking he starts to frown as he has been walking for a while and the exit of the cave is nowhere to be seen. Julian ''Why is this cave not ending and why do I feel that I am walking round and round in this cave while going downwards'' While Julian was pondering what is happening he hears a bird cry hearing this Julian quicken his footsteps towards the source of the sound and finally he reaches the end of the cave what he sees next puts him in amazement as he seesva flowing like rivers everywhere and stone pirs erupting from theva and touching the ceiling, Julian walks towards one of these pirs and investigate it and he finds images of Moltres carved onto these pirs. Julian spectes that this is an underground shrine built for Moltres in olden days by people as no pokemon could sculpt these, as Julian walks further he sees a wide staircase going upwards and two Moltres statue at each side of it, he walks up the staircase and when he reached the top he sees a huge tform in between surrounded byva and only a bridge connecting it to where Julian is standing, he looks further to see an altar and on that altar is a big bird pokemon with a long beak and fireing out from the top of its head and wings, it was Moltres who was looking at Julian surprise as a human has not been here since ages, Moltres could sense some kind of power from Julian but couldn''t tell what it was so it decides to ignore it. When Julian sees Moltres he doesn''t waste time he walks onto the huge tform and calls out Monferno Julian ''This is going to be a very difficult battle for Monferno due to type disadvantage but it will do more good than bad for him so it, and with me, he will be able to have a good battle and if things get rough I have Heatran so no worries'' Julian "Go Monferno" When Monferno enters the tform and sees his opponent Monferno knows that this is going to be a tough battle but he is ready, Moltres who see that Julian and Monferno are here to battle it so Moltres try to ignore them but suddenly something or someone sends it a telepathic message to battle Julian, Moltres knowing whoever sent it this message is a very powerful pokemon and didn''t want to take any chance so it decides to finish its opponent quickly so it dives down towards Monferno and sends out an Air sh towards Monferno Julian "Monferno dodge then use focus st" Monferno dodges theing Air sh and sends a Focus st towards Moltres but Moltres easily dodges the focus st, seeing it dodge Julian gets a rough calction about Moltres speed Julian ''If I take that dodging speed into consideration and rising it up a notch Moltres speed should be as same as Monferno'' Moltres sends another Air sh towards Monferno Julian "Monferno dodge then taunt Moltres" Monferno jumps away and dodges the Air sh again then he starts taunting Moltres by using his hands to say ''Come and attack me if you dare'' with a smug and arrogant facial expression, seeing this Moltres gets angry and dives down towards Monferno using Sky Attack as Moltres is a meter away from Monferno Julian gives hismand Julian "Monferno dodge by Jumping up then use focus punch on Moltres''s back" Monferno dodge the Sky Attack by jumping high in the air and concentrates all energy on one punch as he is about to deliver the attack Monferno''s fist suddenly starts to ze fire Julian ''Great he learned Fire Punch'' As Monferno was about tond the blow Moltres quickly escapes as Monferno''s punchnds on the tform causing a cracks to appear on the tform like a spider web pattern and a big crater in the middle, seeing such destructive power in Monferno''s punch Moltres bes a little serious and now is thinking of trying to avoid any close range attacks. Julian "You think you can escape Monferno methrower" Monferno puffs his chest and sends out a huge methrower towards Moltres, Moltres seeing that not only was the Fire Punch devastating even the methrower is stronger than a normal one Moltres quickly changes its direction in mid-air but to its surprise, the methrower also changes its direction and directly hit Moltres injuring it lightly. Julian ''Even though Moltres is stronger than Monferno, its control over fire is not as good as Monferno allowing him to change the trajectory of his fire attacks where ever he wants and the power of these attack is more powerful than normal'' Moltres is impressed by Monferno firepower and now is more excited to battle a strong opponent Julian "Monferno use methrower" Monferno send out a powerful methrower and Moltres counter it with its own as the two methrower collides it causes huge explosions as the smoke is cleared up it looks like the two methrowers have canceled each other out Julian "Monferno use ember" Monferno sends out multiple fire shots at Moltres which hit it but it''s not as effective as Moltres deliver a Wing attack ripping through the Ember directly to Monferno sending him sliding backward even though Monferno gets injured he shakes it off Julian "Monferno use Fire Spin" Monferno sends out a fire spin and Moltres counter it with its own Fire spin as the two shes it causes a big boom and smoke everywhere, Julian doesn''t waste this opportunity and calls out a move Julian "Monferno methrower" Moltres who cannot see what is happening due to the smoke when it hears Julianmanding Monferno, Moltres quickly moves away from its previous ce but to its surprise it finds out that the methrower ising from the side and hits Moltres sending it flying and smashing it on a wall, with this attack Moltres gets injured by first being hit by a powerful methrower and then getting smashed onto a wall, this cause Moltres to get angry and sends six continuous Air sh towards Monferno. Julian "Monferno dodge" Monferno dodges the first three Air shes easily and escaping the forth by an inch but he got hit by the fifth one then followed up by the sixth one as well sending him rolling down, seeing its chance Moltres dives down towards Monferno and delivers a crushing wing attack causing heavy damage to Monferno, seeing Monferno get hit Julian is a little worried but he knew this might happen but he must continue Julian "Monferno if you want I will stop the fight here" Monferno who was on the ground motionless slowly gets up struggling then looks at Julian with eyes full of determination and fighting spirit, seeing Monferno''s eyes Julian knows what Monferno want and that is a battle to the end, Julian is very proud of his Monferno Julian "That what I like to see, Now Monferno lets show Moltres how powerful we are, ze" With Monferno all fired up he roars as his eyes turn red and the fire on his tail grows biggers as the temperature starts to rise again as the mes dances crazily on Monferno''s tail he suddenly starts to glow, he grows bigger as his arms and legs grow longer and thicker, even his tail bes longer and finally evolving into a magnificent Infernape. Julian ''Looks like this battle was way more beneficial to him then I thought, now he has grown into a powerful Infernape there will be no one to defeat him as I know my Infernape is special than any other, System disy Infernape''s stats'' ___________________ Status - Infernape Level - 36 Age - 7 months State - Exited Bond - 100% HP - 100 Attack - 130 Defense - 90 Sp.

Julian "Infernape let''s finish this use ze Kick" Infernapeunches himself again towards Moltres who is injured badly after thest attack, seeing Infernape rushing towards it Moltres with all its powers moves away from the uing Kick as Molters dodges the attack the ze Kicknds one the wall sending tremors down everywhere next the damaged wall starts breaking down and falls towards the boilingva, Infernape jumps from one falling rock to another and arrives back at the tform. Julian, on the other hand, looks at Moltres who is very tired so he decides to stop the battle Julian "Infernape let''s stop now we don''t want to hurt it very badly" Listening to Julian Infernape calms down his ze andes back to normal, Moltres who is back to its alter is resting and looking at Infernape withplicated gaze, if it had not dodged thatst attack it would have been seriously hurt, it knew that it had lost as its advantage over Infernape were gone first it could not escape those methrowers which could change its trajectory and second its speed after Monferno evolved into Infernape his speed went to another level leaving Moltres helpless, seeing that Julian decided to stop the fight Moltres was grateful. Seeing that Moltres is tired and will rest Julian decides to leave Julian doesn''t want to catch it as he already has eight pokemons and that the limit and he doesn''t want another fire type in his team, Julian walks away as he exits from the cave he came from. Unknown to him as he leaves while Moltres is resting the mysterious pokemon which was following Julian suddenly appears in front of Moltres, when Moltres looks at this pokemon it knew that this Pokemon was the one who told it to battle Julian, as Moltres is wondering why it is here it uses heal pulse on Moltres andpletely heals it then suddenly disappear again. Chapter 34 - Navel Rock Julian gets out from the volcano to see that he has been inside for more than five hours. Julian ''I didn''t expect the time to fly this fast, I have defeated a legendary pokemon, this makes one out of three next I will try to search for Articuno, if I am correct it must be in Seafoam Ind'' ?? Julian reach the town and walks towards the ferry which he came from when he reaches there he finds out the ferry will leave in an hour, seeing that he has nothing to do the walks to the shore and waits there as he was sitting on a dock an Old manes towards him with a fishing rod and a bucket Old Man "Young man are you here on a vacation" Julian looks at the Old Man and thinks that he is a local resident of this Ind Julian "No I am here to train" Old Man "Ah, I see you must havee here to see the Legendary Pokemon Moltres" Julian "Hm? How did you know" Old Man "Only a few peoplee to these Ind for vacation and the ones whoe here for training mostly are here to see Moltres after they here the rumors, but let me tell you a secret it''s not a rumor, Moltres does live inside Mt. Ember very few people in this Ind knows about it and most of them even forgot about its existence" Julian "Why are you telling me this?" Old Man "I saw you a while agoing from the direction of Mt. Ember, don''t give up so easily very few people can see it, people who encounter it are very lucky" Julian "I see but don''t worry mister I saw Moltres" Old Man "Hm Its ok, WAIT WHAT?" Julian "I said I met Moltres inside the volcano" Old Man "I see you are a very fortunate person, not many people can have this kind of opportunity" The Old Man stop speaking and continued after sometime Old Man "Have you visited the Navel Rock ind?" Julian "Why? what''s special about it?" Old Man "Its just a rumor I heard that the Legendary pokemons Lugia and Ho-Oh reside there, seeing that you are a lucky person you might get a chance to see them, but I am not sure if this rumor is true or not" Julian ''Yes, Ipletely forgot about the Navel Rock, the home of the legendary duo Lugia and Ho-Oh, but finding them will be more difficult than anything, they won''t just appear before me and say hi right, but I think I should visit this Navel Rock ind I want to see this ce they call home'' Julian "Thank you for the information, Mister, I hope you have a great day" Julian sees that the ferry is about to leave so he gets up and leaves, seeing that Jin leaves the Old Man sighs Old Man "Its so good to be young you can go around traveling and experience life to the fullest" Julian sets of to Navel Rock and he reaches there in just one hour as its the eighth ind of the Sevii Inds, when Julian reaches there its already evening so he decides to camp near the beach, he brings out all his Pokemons and allows them to y around Gyarados as usual went on his exploration trip but this time he went Kabuto, his other pokemons where ying a game which exercised their control over their powers making it flexible and versatile they always yed this game of hitting a ball of y without breaking it but the ball has to move very fast sometime they would fail but they will continue the game again this way their control over their element has also risen significantly. Julian looking at his pokemons having fun smiles and looks around the ind he only sees rocks everywhere and a huge rock which looks like a mountain right in the middle. Julian ''With this Ind filled with rocks I get it why they call it Navel Rock Ind, but even if I find an entrance to go inside I know there is going to be a maze down there'' Seeing that it''s going to be nightfall very soon he decides to rest while his pokemons can do whatever they want, as he goes to sleep his pokemons are still training and suddenly they here a voice calling them, but they felt like the voice was from inside them, they look around to see that no one was there except Julian who was sleeping, Gyarados alsoes back with Kabuto as he also got a call, when they look around they finally see who was the one calling them, a little pokemon floating in the air with washed out pink color body and a long tail covering it mouth as it looked like it wasughing and having fun, even though Julian''s pokemons were wary of this unknown visitor but after a second they calmed down as they didn''t feel any malicious towards them from it, It started to float around and started to y with Julian''s pokemons as it created a bubble and started to y the same game again but this time using this bubble which was harder than a normal one, after finished ying the misterious pokemon suddenly disappeared in thin air, when they start looking around they heard a voice Julian "What are you guys looking for?" When they saw Julian woke up they start to make hand gestures to tell Julian, but Julian could understand very little from there signs but he was still able to figure out something Julian ''Looks like they were ying with some unknown pokemon which then suddenly disappeared, if my guess is correct it must be the one following me and from all these events happening I think I know who this culprit is, but why is it following me, from what I know it started to follow me when I entered that unknown forest, well it will show itself when it wants to'' Julian "Ok guys that''s enough, you all should go to sleep tomorrow is going to be a long day" So they all go to sleep, next day Julian wakes up and decides to explore the rocks after he gets near it he finally realizes that how big this mass of rock really is. He starts to climb up but he cannot find any clue leaving him disappointed, but he doesn''t give up the climbs and climbs until he reaches the top, when he reaches the top he sees nothing but a in field with a rock tform and on top of it is a feather which is shining brightly with rainbow color, he walks forward and picks up the feather, he also finds some ashes which are also shining. Julian ''Who would have thought that on top of this rock is a Ho-Oh feather and some sacred ashes, even if I couldn''t see this Legendary Pokemon I at least have its feather'' Julian puts the ashes inside his pouch and is ready to leave when he hears a bird cry as he looks up he sees a pokemon as its wings shine with seven colors as it leaves a rainbow trail behind it. Julian ''Looks like I am really lucky, My only goal in this life is to reach the top and enjoy it to the fullest and this feather will represent it'' He holds the feather high in the air as he promises himself, Ho-Oh who is flying far away could feel Julian''s desire to reach the top with this Ho-Oh cries onest time as if it is saying something to Julian and disappears into the sky. Julian hears the cry and is satisfied even he doesn''t know what it wants to say, he is just satisfied that Ho-Oh answered to his promise, he puts the feather inside the pouch and is ready to leave, unknown to Julian there was other two pokemon watching him from under the water one was Lugia and another was the Mysterious Pokemon who has been following him from the day it saw Julian while sitting on Lugia''s head as it looked like it is smiling while covering its mouth with its tiny hands. Chapter 35 - Travelling To Seafoam Island Julian climbs down the rocks to notice that he has forgotten a major issue that is the ferry, he doesn''t have one to go back Julian ''Due to yesterdays excitement I totally forgot about how to go back, Hmm maybe I can ride on top of Gyarados'' ?? Julian calls out Gyarados and tells him about the situation Julian "Gyarados since we don''t have a ferry to go back it looks like I have to ride on your back to go back to Cinnabar Ind" Gyarados happily nods and allows Julian to climb on top of his head and swims of towards the Cinnabar Ind, Julian who is sitting on top of Gyarados could feel the air hitting him in the face as Gyarados was swimming very fast. Julian "Damn, I didn''t think that riding on top of Gyarados will be this fun, Gyarados move faster" Gyarados listens to Julian and swims even faster nearly blowing away Julian from the top but Julian quickly hold on to bnce himself on top. They reach Cinnabar ind just in two hours due to Gyarados amazing speed on water, once he reaches there he heads towards ine''s Inn to pick up his bike, when he reaches there he sees ine cutting grass outside in thewn with a depressed look on his face, Julian walks towards him to investigate Julian "Why are you cutting grass with that depressed look" ine "You won''t understand my feelings kid, let me give you a piece of life advice never marry in your life" Julian pretty much got the idea what happened to him from his answer so he didn''t want to bother himself or ine so he quickly escapes from there before ine starts his ranting, he takes his bike and rides of too the port to travel to Seafoam Ind, he gets a ticket to a ferry and boards on. Julian ''Next stop is Seafoam Ind and to challenge Articuno, after I defeat it I will challenge Zapdos defeating all three of them will be a great achievement, but who should I use to fight it Kabuto is a good option and can deal 4 times damage to it if, Kabuto is also near evolution so lets see what happens'' Julian walks back to his small room and decides to rest. Julian finally arrived at Seafoam ind after a days travel from Cinnabar Ind, he walks out of the ferry to see a huge ind with many people and pokemon running around the beach, some of them were surfing in the high tides with their pokemon while others were sunbathing. Julian ''It really is a vacation spot for peopleing here in their holidays'' He walks around the Ind to see many stalls selling different things such as jewelry, food, drinks, ice cream, and much other stuff, he goes deeper into the Ind and sees that there is a small town here, the locals living here are very friendly, after walking around he finally reached the pokemon center he goes inside and hands over his pokemons to Nurse Joy so that she could look after them, he walks towards a telephone and calls Professor Oak. As the call connects Julian sees Professor Oak eating some instant ramen in front of the screen Oak "Hahaha, Julian don''t mind me eating as you know how busy I am and have hardly any time to eat, by the way where are you now" Julian "Its ok professor, I am in Seafoam Ind" Oak "Seafoam Ind? that''s great I heard that you can find some water stones and Ice stones there if you find and bring it back as my next research is about these evolution stones" Julian "I see, Professor Oak I also want some help can you find me an electirizer?" Oak "Electirizer, is it for your Elekid look like he has evolved for you to want an electirizer" Julian "Yes he has evolved and I mighte back within three months so if you could find one it would be great" Oak "Don''t worry about it I will be able to obtain it, you also don''t forget to bring back some evolution stones" Julian "Then I will be seeing you of" He turns off the telephone and walks towards his room after traveling he was suffering from some fidget so he wanted to rest. A day has passed and Julian is on the beach in swimming shorts as his defined muscr body is exposed which was a feast to many women on the beach, today he was nning to surf with Kabuto on top of his head he takes his surfboard and runs towards the sea as hey on the board peddling himself forward and wave rises, he gets on his feet and rides the big wave, after surfing for a while he finally decides it time to search for Articuno, Julian rents a Jet Ski and ride around the ind after riding to every part of the Ind he finally sees a cave but he doesn''t go in as the water entering the cave is very violent if he goes in with the Jet Ski he might reck it, he ponders for a while and calls out Gyarados Julian "Gyarados can you go inside that cave?" Julian points at the cave for Gyarados to look, Gyarados approaches the violent current and doesn''t get affected by it so he nods that he can get through, seeing that Gyarados can easily swim in the violent current Julian leaves the Jet Ski and hops on top of Gyarados as he and Gyarados goes inside he sees that this cave from inside is very big as even Gyarados can freely move inside it with his head high, as they go forward they notice that the water is actually flowing down causing this violent current the further they go the violent it bes but Gyarados was not affected by it and continues after finally going deep into the cave the path gets separated, Julian could feel cold airing from one cave and hear rushing violent sound from the other, Julian knew that the former was the correct path and instructs Gyarados to mover forwards as they enter the path with cold air the water flow bes stable and as they go further they coulf see small chucks of ice floating on top of still water as they go further and further they finally see a ce covered with Ice. Julian gets off of Gyarados and sends him back to his Pokeball and starts to explore this ce made of Ice, he finds an Ice Stone nted on the wall which he removes and keeps it inside his pouch as he moves forwards a path he encounters a Seel suddenly attacking him with an Ice Beam which Julian quickly dodges by sidestepping it. Julian ''Wtf, what''s with that sudden attack, looks like this Seel is very aggressive'' Julian "Go Kabuto use Aqua Jet" Kabutoes out and suddenly surprises Seel with a fast Aqua Jet sending it back sliding on the Ice Julian "Now cling on to it and use Absorb" Kabuto jumps onto the stunned Seel and clings on to it and uses Absorb by draining all the energy and causing Seel to faint Julian "Great Job Kabuto" Kabuto bes happy and crawls up and sit on Julian''s head, they start to walk again but the further they go more pokemon tends to attack them but Kabuto easily defeated them. Julian and Kabuto are walking in an ice cave and it looks like they are getting closer and closer to there destination as the temperature inside is dropping more and more but suddenly they are attacked by an Ice Beam, Julian dodges it by sidestepping it Julian ''Dejavu'' When they see who was the one attacking them this time it was a Dewgong Julian ''Well it''s not aplete Dejavu as this is a Dewgong'' Julian "Kabuto use Rock Throw" Kabuto jumps off from Julian''s head and sends out four rocks shooting towards Dewgong. Dewgong manages to sild and dodge the first two rocks but it barely dodged the third one as the surface of the ground became rough from the early two rocks but it still got hurt as the rock came crashing near it and sent it rolling backward as it was about to get up the forth rock directly hit it causing it to be injured. Julian "Go Kabuto absorb" Kabuto jumps onto Dewgong and uses observe as drained the little remaining energy from it causing it to faint, as soon as Dewgong fainted and Kabuto got off of it he started to glow Julian ''Well I thought he will evolve today in his battle with Articuno but its sooner than I expected'' As Kabuto glows his body suddenly started to grow very big as two long legs started to form than a spiky back then two sharp mantis-like ws appeared, then a huge triangr head like shape, as the glowing dimmed down Kabuto has finally evolved into Kabutops its arms look like a de of a scythe and the spikes on his back were very intimidating.

Chapter 36 - Ancient Vs Legendary Julian and Kabutops head towards the source of the cry as they reach there they see a huge ce covered with ice everywhere there are ice spikes on the roof and Ice boulders and pirs on the floor, the temperature is freezing and right in the middle of this huge ce is a big blue color bird pokemon pping its wings and looking at Julian and Kabutops Julian ''Looks like its very angry because we came here uninvited well it won''t matter as we came here to battle it after all'' ?? Articuno suddenly used Ice shards sending it shooting towards Julian and Kabutops Julian "Kabutops use Harden" Julian jumped away escaping the Ice shards shooting at him and the Ice shards aimed at Kabutops all shattered after hitting him and dealing no damage, Articuno never giving a chance followed up by Gust Julian "Kabutops stay your ground" Kabutops nted himself on the ice floor by shoving his sharp toes inside the ice and took the Gust head on as it is a flying type move it was not effective at all. Julian "Kabutops use Scratch" Kabutops suddenly sprinted forward exposing his ws and used an Ice boulder as a jumping tform andunched himself towards Articuno. Articuno easily dodged it but the attack was not over Kabutopsnded on a wall using his legs andunched himself again at Articuno but Articuno dodged it again with an inch to spare Julian ''This Articuno is really fast but not for long'' Julian "Kabutops use Ice Beam" Kabuto sent an Ice Beam which Articuno counter using its own Ice Beam as the moves shed Articuno''s attack took the edge and pushed back Kabutops''s Ice Beam Julian "Kabutops move away from there" Kabutops abandoned his attack and jumped away from his position as Articuno''s Ice Beam came and hit the ce causing an Ice block to form in that ce Julian ''Its ice type moves are also strong but they are nothing to worry about'' Articuno suddenly used Mist making the ce cloudy and effecting Kabutops and Julian''s vision Julian "Kabutops stay your ground and use Harden, be calm and don''t panic" Kabutops hearing Julian calm down and use Harden and got ready for any attacksing at him, as Kabutops stood still Articuno suddenly attacked with a Sky Attack and hit Kabutops directly but it didn''t do much damage again and only sent him back but the Sky Attacks didn''t stop and it continued to attack over and over again, Kabutops kept his ground as he was waiting for Julian''smand, Julian on the other hand was carefully watching as the mist slowly started to disappear due to Articuno flying very fast and attacking Kabutops rapidly. Julian "Hang in there for a little even though you have to take some hit it won''t affect you because of your harden and typing advantage" Kabutops knew that Julian was waiting for the perfect timing tounch an attack so he stayed there taking the Sky Attacks which were bing weaker move by move as Articuno was getting tired by using it. As the Mist was a little clear Julian could see Articunounching another attack at Kabutops as the movended and it was about to fly away again Julian took his chance Julian "Now Kabutops use Metal w" Articuno who had just attacked and had already shown it back to Kabutops didn''t expect to be attacked now and it got attacked by a two Metal ws simultaneously as sent it crashing on the ground as Mental w being a steel type move it was effective against Articuno and cause it to be injured but Articuno just shook it off as it was nothing Julian ''Even though it was hurt by thest move its defense is very high which allowed it not be severely affected by it, let''s see how you will escape this one'' Julian "Kabutops use Rock Throw" Kabutops formed multiple small rocks and sent it towards Articuno but Articuno just dodged it easily by using its speed and used Ice Beam on Kabutops legs and froze him on the spot andunched itself towards Kabutops using Headbutt. Julian "Kabutops use your ws to break the Ice and jump away" Kabutops used his ws and broke the ice covering his feet and jumped but he was a littlete and was hit by the Headbutt on the side and sent him spinning and crashing on an Ice boulder Julian "Kabutops are you ok" Kabutops stood up and shook off the ice on him and was continue to battle again Julian ''Kabutops defense is on another level with his ability Battle armor and skill Harden'' Julian "Great let''s continue, use Aqua Jet" Kabutops surrounded himself with water andunched himself superfast towards Articuno, Articuno also flew up andunched itself towards Kabutops using Arial Ace as Arial Ace and Aqua Jet shes they both are sent back flying due to the enormous amount of energy colliding, Julian didn''t want to waste any time and quickly followed up with another attack Julian "Kabutops use Aqua Jet again" Kabutops does a summersault andnds and then againunch himself towards Articuno using Aqua Jets but this time with more speed and power, Articuno also didn''t give up and straighten itself in the air andunched an Arial Ace twice as fast as before, Julian hand anticipated this before and suddenly gave amand Julian "Kabutops now use Ice Beam to freeze the Water Jet" Kabutops didn''t doubt anything and just used Ice Beam and suddenly the Water Jet froze and turned it into an Ice Jet which came crashing onto Articuno, even if Articuno is an Ice-type being hit by a fast, sharp and heavy Ice will cause a lot of damage, as they shed with each other the winner of the exchange was, of course, Kabutops and sent Articuno flying back and hit an Ice Pir. Julian "Great Kabutops" Kabutopsnded on the Ice floor and looked at his opponent and mocked it to attack again, seeing that Kabutops was mocking it Articuno got angry and suddenly started to collect energy in front of it tounch a Hyper Beam. Julian ''This is perfect'' Julian "Kabutops activate Weak Armor" Kabutops activated his Weak armor causing his defense to be low but increased his speed. Articunounched the Hyper Beam at Kabutops with full power Julian "Kabutops dodge and use Metal w" Kabutops speed being increased by a huge margin easily dodging the Hyper Beam and sprinted towards Articuno with glowing ws creating after image behind him, Articuno didn''t even notice what happened as it was struck by two Metal w simultaneously sending it flying, this time it was hurt but Julian didn''t stop there Julian "Kabutops use Stone Edge" As Articuno was still in the air falling down after that previous attack Kabutops used Stone Edge then huge Stones came from under the ground and drove it up against the falling Articuno sending it flying upwards again but this was the end as Articuno fell down it had been very badly injured and didn''t have any strength to get up. Julian ''Looks like it''s over another victory'' Julian "Kabutops you were awesome today" Kabutops is happy being praised, Julian sends him back into his Pokeball as he walks towards Articuno and sprinkles a little Sacred Power which he obtained on Naval Rock on it bringing it back to full strength Articuno gets up and looks at Julian confused why he healed it Julian "Since I barged into your home and hurt you I should take responsibility" Julian says this and walks away while Articuno looks at his back then goes back to rest, after exiting from the Ice cave he calls out Gyarados and goes back to the Beach. Chapter 37 - Mega Stone Julianes back to the beach and hands over the Jet Ski, he then starts to search for water stones for Professor Oak, he already found the Ice Stone in the cave now the remaining one is the water stone, he looks everywhere at the shore, underwater, shops, marts everywhere but nowhere to be found, he at least gets a clue that at the northeast of the ind where he might find one but the stones there are protected by Pokemon. Julian heads towards the northeast side of the Ind to see a huge cliff and when he looked down he saw waves smashing on to this cliff walls. ?? Julian ''Looks like I have to dive in to find one but the waves here are very dangerous looks like I have to get Gyarados''s help again'' Julian calls out Gyarados and jumps on to his head as Gyarados dives down as they look around they finally find a boulder under the sea with a Water Stone the pokemon which was guarding the stone had already fled after seeing Gyarados so Julian took it put it in his pouch, as they where about to go back something attracted Gyarados''s attention. Julian noticing Gyarados reaction tells him to swim up so they could talk once they reach the surface Julian takes a breath and looks at Gyarados Julian "Did you notice something buddy?" Gyarados nods with excitement in his eyes, Julian is intrigued why Gyarados is so excited to find something they both dive down again as Gyarados swims and finally reaches a sunken ship, Julian looks at the ship and sees that this thing is pretty old and must have been here for more than fifty years, Julian swims inside and see that there are few human skeletons here Julian ''Looks like few people drowned here with the ship'' Julian started to explore the ship inside out and finally found something resonating and shining inside the captain''s cabin which was pitch ck as he went in he found a wild Gyarados sleeping curled up around something shining Julian didn''t know what it was, he went outside and told Gyarados to attack the ship''s cabin. Gyarados puffed his chest and sent a Hyper Beam towards the cabin where the wild Gyarados was sleeping Julian ''I told you to attack it not destroy it, well never mind'' The wild Gyarados which was sleeping inside was blown away as it became angry and saw what attacked it, it froze on the spot seeing a huge red Gyarados and escaped without giving a second thought, seeing that the wild Gyarados running away Julian moved back towards the ship as it was now fully destroyed by Gyarados and the shining object was also blown away somewhere Julian just shook his head and asked Gyarados if he could sense it. Gyarados looked around and finally came over a broken piece of metal, Julian swim towards it and lifted it up and to his surprise, he found a Mega Stone to be exact it was a Gyaradosite Julian ''It''s actually a Mega Stone for Gyarados, I didn''t think I will find one until I reach Kalos region looks like we were lucky for Gyarados to actually sense this Mega Stone If there is a Mega Stone here there might even be a keystone'' Julian started to search for the Keystone but he couldn''t find it but he found some gold coins and some abandoned pokeballs which were empty after failing to find one Julian came up with two conclusion Julian ''If there was a Keystone here it might have been eaten by some Pokemon or There might have never been one and this Mega stone was found by someone and died in this ship while traveling'' Julian was disappointed as he couldn''t find a Keystone but he didn''t need one now as his Gyarados were pretty strong right now and Mega Evolving him will be just overkill Julian ''I think we should go now'' Julian went and sat on Gyarados head as he looked at the Megastone in this hand and thinking about how his Gyarados will be after Mega Evolving, Gyarados resurfaced and swim back to the Ind shore. Julian "Gyarados you were great today finding a Mega Stone it will be a great asset in increasing your strength" Gyarados was happy being praised by Julian and roared scaring few people around the beach, Julian quickly apologized to them and sent Gyarados back to his Pokeball. Julian ''My work in Seafoam Ind is over I should head back to the maind now, my next destination would be the abandoned power nt and to defeat Zapdos, it will be a very tough battle but I have ns for Zapdos'' Julian quickly went towards the seaport to see any ship or ferry leaving to the maind but they were all leaving tomorrow so Julian reserved a ticket for himself and went back to the pokemon center, after reaching there he asked for pokemon massage therapy for his pokemons to release their stress as the center was also providing it, he didn''t want his pokemons to be suffering from muscle strain and sourness after sending them to the therapy he went and called Professor Oak Oak "Oh Julian you called pretty fast, what happened" Julian "Nothing Professor Oak I just wanted to tell you that I found both Ice and water stones for you" Oak "Hahaha, you already found them I knew I could rely on you and I also have contacted someone about the electirizer and I will receive it in a month time so when youe here I will give it to you" Julian "Thank you, Professor Oak, By the way, do you know what this is?" Julian takes out the Mega stone he found and shows it to Oak, Oak seeing the Megastone is surprised to see a Mega stone with Julian as he bes serious Oak "Julian where did you find this stone" Julian already deducted that professor Oak knew about Mega Stones after hearing his question Julian "Gyarados found it under the Sea while we were searching for water stones" Oak "Did you find any other stones simr to this one but smaller" Julian "No I only found this one" Oak "I see, Julian, let me tell you a secret you have to keep this to yourself until this matter bes public" Julian nods replying to Oak Oak "What you found there is called a Mega stone, if I am correct it must be a Gyaradosite seeing that your Gyarados found it, these Mega stones with the help of a simr stone called the Keystone to stimte your pokemon to evolve beyond its final evolution it is called Mega Evolution but this evolution is temporary, this matter is still kept secret as researchers are still trying to figure it out but after the research is done they are nning to make this information public till then you have to keep this to your self" Julian "I understand Professor" Oak "Good, then I will be going as you will being back in months or two I want to do some extra research on these Mega stones so that we can test it when youe back" The screen goes off and Julian gets up from the private boot to go back to his room Julian ''Looks like my guess was right few people know about Mega Stones but they have notpleted the research on it, from what I know there are only a few pokemons are known to Mega Evolve and others are unknown but I think every pokemon can Mega evolve its just that they have not found the Mega stones for them, hell even Mewtwo can Mega Evolve and the world doesn''t even know that it exists, looks like Mega stones can be found for any pokemons but have to find the right one for a particr species for them to Mega Evolve'' Julian thinks about many possibilities about Mega Evolution and is very intrigued by this concept hemands his system to start researching on Mega evolutions after that he goes to sleep as night has arrived and tomorrow he has to go to the maind to continue his journey. Chapter 38 - Team Rocket Duo Julian woke up pretty early as today he was boarding the ship to go to the Maind, He got ready and boarded the ship after traveling for two days he finally reached a port near Fuschia city leaving the ship he took out his bike from his space pouch and rode it towards the city to refill his stock when he reached there he saw someone he didn''t want to, it was Ash and it looked liked he has defeated Koga recently, Julian didn''t want to get into trouble by meeting Ash as where ever he goes trouble follows him. Julian reached the Market and refilled his stocks as he was about to leave he heard someone call his name, he couldn''t help but shake his head as he knew the voice it was Ash''s, Julian cursed his bad luck as he couldn''t escape this trouble master. ?? (A/N - Lol he never became a pokemon master at least he is a master at something) Julian turned around to see that Ash ran up to him and behind him where Brock and Misty Ash "Hi Julian are you here to battle the Gym leader Koga but I have to remind you that he is very strong and I even got a badge" Ash pulled out his jacket and shows Julian his Six badges, Julian just nods his head Julian ''Looks like I wasted a lot of time roaming around leaving even Ash to nearly catch up to me and Gary must already have seven or at least eight but being the brat he is he won''t sit still and collect more badges'' Julian "I see you already have six badges, that''s good but I think you should hurry" Ash "Hurry? for what?" Julian "You don''t want Gary to brag about himself in front of you right, from what I know that brat already has seven to eight badges" Ash "Oh no how could I forget about that, guys lets go I have to get by next badge soon" Ash drags Brock and Misty with him to leave the city leaving Julian behind, Julian smiles seeing this Julian ''Its really easy to fool this kid just distract him for a little and he will forget everything he wants to do, well using the Gary card I am now free so I should also continue'' Julian rides of towardsvender town as his next destination is the Rock Tunnel which can only be reached by going throughvender town Julian ''I should visit Mr. Smith to see how he is doing'' Julian after camping training and riding finally reached Lavender town after four days Julian ''Man even though the maps of Kanto in my previous world looked small, being here is a different experience it took me four days just to reach Lavender town from Fuschia city'' As Julian entered the town it was the same usual ce filled with peace and quiet and a little creepy feeling after seeing the Pokemon tower from far, Julian came in front of Mr. Smith''s house and knocked but no one answered Julian then tried to open the door and to his surprise the door was opened and when he went in there was no one there but the tea table was flipped and some vase broken seeing this Julian became angry and walked out he knocked at the door of the neighbor but they didn''t answer. Julian, knew that someone was inside he didn''t care and broke the door with a kicked and walked in he saw a skinny man scared at the corner holding a stick in his hand to defend himself, seeing Julian staring at him coldly the skinny man was about to shit his pants Julian "Tell me what happened in Mr. Smith''s house?" Julian doesn''t want to waste any time so he just released a heavy pressure which he learned to do after he started to cultivate the spiritual energy around him, feeling such heavy pressure the skinny man didn''t want to offend Julian and just reviled everything Skinny Man "Two people came to the town early saying that they were the member of team rocket or something and they demanded to hand over all the pokemons to the people living here some of them refused so those two people forcefully captured them with their pokemon and tried to escape but those people chased them towards the Pokemon tower" Julian "That''s all?" His face was still cold Skinny Man "Yes that''s all I know now please spare me" Julian didn''t even bother to look at him a second as he threw some pokedors at him and left for destroying his door, he hopped on to his bike and drove off towards the tower. When he reached near the tower he heard some people talking he stopped his bike as he didn''t want to all alert them, he walks towards the source of the voice and saw a machine with huge mechanical hands one holding a cage filled with pokemons and in the other was Mr. Smith struggling Butch "Old man I said you to give up you are already old and near death bed why do you want pokemons and that goes to all of those old fools lying on the ground" Cassidy "Yes, you old fools don''t need pokemons, they are better being used by the boss to dominate the world hahahaha" Julian seeing this was really mad seeing people injured on the ground and Mr. Smith being tortured really hit his nerve. Julian "Infernapee out" Infernape came out and saw the situation and knew that those two fools are in for a really big trouble Julian "Activate ze then me charge" Infernape now had full control over his firepower after evolving and now going into ze was just a thought for him as Infernape roared fire danced wildly above his head as mes started to spin around him and rose above all reaching the sky turning the whole ce orange from the light of the fire and heat, if there was a volcano here people would think that a volcano erupted. Butch and Cassidy where startled by this sudden change and when they turned around to see what was happening they saw a me raging towards them before they could even react the me went through their machine from one end to another like a like knife through butter as this happened the huge robot sparked and its hands got loose releasing Mr. Smith and the cage full of pokemons Julian "Ivysaure out and use vine whip to catch Mr. Smith and the cage" Ivysaur strength has risen significantly and he could even lift huge boulders of rock with vine whip so catching a cage full of pokemons and Mr. Smith was no deal. Ivysaur caught them andnded them slowly onto the ground Julian "Kabutopse out and use Metal w to cut the cage down" Kabutops came out and swiftly cut the bars of the cage freeing the pokemons inside and then a Marowak came out and ran towards Mr. Smith to see if he was ok Julian ''Looks like Cubone has evolved'' Suddenly there was a huge boom as the robot exploded into pieces and Butch and Cassidy fell down on the ground turning ck by the smoke, they both didn''t even know what happened and they were already on the ground as they looked around they saw the pokemons they snatched has been freed and there was a young man in the middle with three pokemons with him, they knew that this man was responsible for their current state Cassidy "How dare you to attack the prestige members of team rock?" she shouted in extreme anger Butch "Yes you don''t know who are you messing with" Julian "Who even are you, two clowns?" Julian, of course, knew who they were but he had no interest in them as they were just useless side characters even though better than the team rocket trio Julian didn''t care Butch "Prepare for the trouble you got that right" Cassidy "And make it doubl- wait did you call use clowns" Butch "Hey Cassidy we didn''t finish our introduction" Julian "Shut up you idiots if I hear another word from your mouths I will make you suffer very badly" Butch and Cassidy suddenly got chills after hearing him and seeing his cold eyes staring down at them they felt really scared, they thought that a devil was looking deep into their soul but they quickly shook it off and came back to normal Cassidy "How dare you, go Houndour, Raticate" Butch "Go Primeape, Hitmontop" Cassidy "Raticate use Bite, Houndour use Fire Fang" Butch "Primeape use Karate chop, Hitmontop Rapid Spin" Julian "Infernape use Heat st on the fighting duo, Kabutops use Stone Edge on Houndour, Ivysaur use Sr Beam on Raticate" The distance between the two teams was enough for them tounch their full power attacks as Heat st went ripping the ground with full force and decimating both fighting pokemons and Stone edge sent Houndour flying and Sr Beam just left a deep trail behind it and sent Raticate flying, Butch and Cassidy were shocked as their pokemons were one hit and sent flying, they realized they were no match and tried to escape after calling their pokemons back. Julian "You can''t just go away like that, let me help you" Butch and Cassidy suddenly froze on the spot as they felt chill down their spine Julian "Infernape methrower" Infernape sent a powerful me thrower sting them off to the sky after this Julian approached Mr. Smith Julian "Mr. Smith are you ok?" Mr. Smith "Ah, Julian its good that you came on time or I didn''t know what to would happen to these people and pokemons and don''t worry I am fine" Julian "I think we should go to your house and let you rest you must be tired" Mr. Smith "Yes, yes let''s go" The people also left with their pokemons as Julian dropped Mr. Smith at his house, he was asked to stay for the day but he refused but Mr. Smith insisted so he only agreed to stay for a while and leave. Mr. Smith couldn''t do anything and agreed, Julian let Kabutops y with Marowak as they both have evolved but where still like kids, after being served some food to them Julian ate and stayed there for few hours so Kabutops could y around with Marowak after this Julian continued his journey as his next destination was the Powernt. Chapter 39 - Abandoned Power Plant Julian rides out of Lavender town and on his way he noticed that the river which he needed to ride was dry which could make him waste a lot of time, he couldn''t go there by riding his bike as the further he goes the deeper the river gets not allowing him to climb up the river or cross it and walking will take too long, so he decided to see what was the problem for the river to get dry when he finally reached there he saw three caves which lead into the Rock Tunnel, Julian looks at the entrance as saw that one of the paths has some water flowing outside which is connected to the river. Julian ''Looks like there is something blocking the watering from that cave if my guess is right the original entrance of the cave is in other side and these caves here are the exits, I thought that there was only two exists howe there are three now?'' ?? Julian frown as he started to think about the possibilities about a third exit of the Rock Tunnel. Julian ''Instead of thinking so much I might just go and check what is it that''s blocking the watering from the third cave'' Julian walks in and he noticed that the cave leads to the underground by judging from its angle he walks a little further and notices the problem that is blocking the river''s water flow, it was a huge Snox blocking the path Julian tries to move it but it didn''t even bulge after some tries he gave up Julian ''This Snox is in deep sleep it won''t wake up until it is hungry, looks like I have to capture it and send it back to Professor Oak''sb'' Julian takes out a Pokeball and ready to throw it but he suddenly stops Julian ''Phew, that was close if I had captured it now the water behind it would have rushed out and smashed me'' Julian "Gyaradose out" Gyaradoses out and sees that there is no water near and is confused so he looks at Julian Julian "As soon as I capture that Snox water is going to rush out so I will be on top of you to prevent the water to smash he away" Gyarados nods understanding Julian as he climbs on top of him as Gyarados bends down Julian takes the Pokeball and pressed the button on to Snox as soon as Snox enters the ball the water rush out crazily covering the whole cave, the wateres crashing towards Gyarados and Julian as Gyarados easily turns around and with the help of the water current swims out of the cave when Julian and Gyaradoses out they hear a ding sound as they look at the Pokeball and the capture was sessful Julian "It didn''t even resist, catching a sleeping Snox is easier than catching a Caterpie" Gyarados nods his head agreeing to Julian. Julian looks at the water which has started flowing and the river which was dry was now running properly, he decides to wait for a while for the river to be properly filled after seeing that the river has been full he instructs Gyarados to start moving towards the abandoned power nt as he reached there he sent Gyarados back and walked towards a huge area covered with fence and inside you could seerge electric towers still active with high voltage electricity running in it. Julian walked near the gate to notice that the gate was locked with a rusty lock which he broke with a kick and entered after entering he saw that this ce had a lot of electric type pokemons Voltorb, Electrode, Pikachu, Raichu, Electabuzz and others. When these pokemons saw Julian they would mostly try to avoid him and some attacked him but Kabutops took care of them, the inside of the power nt was like a maze with many rooms filled with electronic machines and electricity reading meters Julian just got a headache walking inside this powernt as every room looked the same and very confusing, after resting inside a room for a while he continued and finally found a door which leads to outside as he walked out he saw towering poles everywhere with electricity passing through them to a certain direction. Julian ''It looks like someone or something is using the electricity from here'' He followed the electric patterns and finally found the culprit it was arge yellow pokemon with a long beak and spiky feathers observing the electricity from a huge transformer in the middle. Julian ''This ce is going to get recked'' Julian knew that their battle will cause a lot of damage to this ce but he didn''t care he just wanted a good fight. Zapdos looked at the intruder in its house and it knew that this intruder was here to battle it, Zapdos took the air and looked coldly at Julian and waiting for its opponent. Julian looked at Zapdos in the sky as electricity sparked around it and this even caused the clouds to turn dark as thunder cracked and lightning fell on the ground destroying the ground into smiters, Zapdos had just used thunder to intimidate Julian but it was useless Julian "Go Heatran" Heatran came out andnded on the ground causing cracks beneath his feet, Heatran looked more intimidating than before as he has grown bigger after eating so much magma stone and special food and training prepared by Julian, he has grown to his limit standing at 1.9 meters tall, the temperature changed as the heat kept going higher and higher after Heatran entering. Two legendary pokemons stared into each other eyes as one side of the battlefield was covered with sounds of thunder and lightning and on the other side ground started to melt causingva to form under Heatrans feat and constant rising of temperature cause even the air to heat up making the surrounding look wavy. Chapter 40 - Showdown Between Legendary Heatran and Zapdos look into each other eyes measuring their opponent as the battlefield be tense due to arge amount of heat from the lightning andva produced by these pokemons. Zapdos took the first move and sent out a Thunderbolt towards Heatran, the Thunderbolt descends towards Heatran making cracking sound with full power ?? Julian "Use Fire Spin" Heatran also sends out a powerful fire spin which circles around the thunderbolt and rushes towards Zapdos, both the attacks hit the opponent Heatran is sent back a little and Zapdos is sent flying back, Zapdos being in the air caused it to not have a proper holding and was sent crashing onto an electric pole but it soon got up as if it didn''t take any damage. Julian had already got an idea of how powerful this Zapdos is Julian ''This Zapdos is way powerful than the other two legendary birdsbined, it must have gained a lot of power after observing all that electricity from here'' Zapdossuddenly went high in the air and used Air cutter sending multiple air des towards Heatran but they were useless as it didn''t effect Heatran at all, Zapdos came to a quick conclusion that no flying type moves are gonna work against Heatran. Julian "Heatran use Ancient power" Heatran starts to collect arge amount of unknown energy and creates a ball from it and sends it towards Zapdos, Zapdos quickly escapes by dodging it as it knew if it got hit by this attack it will be in a lot of trouble, as Zapdos dodges Ancient power goes and hits an electric pole riping it off from the ground causing the wires connected to it snap and dangle free in the air. By using Ancient power Heatran suddenly gains a boost in power in every aspect. Zapdos doesn''t waste time and also buffs up itself by using Charge, thenunches Thunderwave towards Heatran. Julian knows that this type of moves cannot be dodged and can paralyze Heatran so he has to make Heatran face it with its own Julian "Heatran use Heatwave" Heatran also sends a powerful Heatwave towards Zapdos, both waves shes in between the battlefield causing loud crashing sounds just like a water wave hitting a rock, both attacks dispell each other but they didn''t stop Zapdos started to umte arge amount of electricity around it andunched towards Heatran using Wild Charge Julian "Heatran counter it using Famecharge" Both Heatran and Zapdos charge towards each other with full speed and power one covered with mes and other covered with electricity as they sh the ground beneath them cracks and shockwave travel everywhere causing the air to stir up and causing the dust and smoke to rise up and cover the surrounding. Heatran and Zapdos were both sent back from the recoil of their sh, they both received damage but the situation changed quickly Zapdos started to receive the bacsh of using wild charge which drained 1/4th of its health, Julian didn''t want to miss this chance Julian "Heatran quick Fire st" Heatran started to create arge amount of fire in front of him thenunched a huge ´ó shaped Fire st towards Zapdos which caused the ground beneath to be ripped off and burned behind its path, Zapdos seeing this powerful attacking towards it quickly used Charge to absorb all the electricity from the surrounding to advance its speed. Zapdos using all the speed it gained from Charge quickly moved away from Fire st path, the Fire st missed but it nearly destroyed all the electric towers nearby causing the electricity to stop flowing in the area, Zapdos quickly took to the air and saw its roost destroyed it was angry but it couldn''t do anything now as what happened had already happened, so to calm its anger Zapdos concentrated and called upon thunderclouds above it as lightning cracked in it and its power was getting higher and higher as seconds passed, seeing this Julian frowned Julian ''Looks like it''s about tounch its final move'' Jin "Heatran letsunch our final move as well, MAGMA STORM" Zapdos was preparing tounch a huge Thunder at Heatran and Heatran started to surround himself with magma which started to revolve around him and getting bigger and bigger creating a tornado made up of boiling Magma as its hight reached the sky and swallowing the thunderclouds in its area, if someone were to see this scene of a raging Magma tornado and thick huge ck thundercloud filled with powerful lightning would not even think for a second and run as far away as possible, all the pokemons in the powernt had already evacuated the area after sensing this huge amount of destructive power, Julian also covered himself with spiritual energy to avoid being hurt by these attacks bacsh. As the two different moves reached their full limit both Heatran and Zapdos sent out there attacks towards each other, from far away it looked like the god of lightning and fire were about to sh to destroy everything in their path, then both the moves shed one was a lightning bolt which was as thick as a building and other was a raging spinning tornado of boiling magma causing an explosion so big it destroyed everything around, the whole powernt was reduced to dust the ground shook causing tremors to run down to all the surrounding areas nearby, the pokemons in the nearby forest were scared shitlessly and sprinted to the opposite direction of the explosion, there was nothing but a huge cloud of smoke on the area which was previously an Abandoned Power nt, Julian was standing there with his hair all messed up and his clothes tattered the barrier which he had created from his spiritual energy had sessfully defended him from that huge explosion. As the smoke cleared up both Heatran and Zapdos were staring at each other both were injured but suddenly Zapdos fell from the sky fainting and falling down. Julian "I never thought that this Zapdos was so powerful to even be conscious after getting hit by Heatran''s Magma storm, but it still fell, Heatran you were awesome" Heatran "Raar" Heatran roared happily showing its dominance. Julian walked up to the unconscious Zapdos and sprinkled some Sacred Powder on top of it, it soon woke up fully healed and stared at Julian and Heatran for a few seconds and acknowledge that both of them were really powerful as it took the sky and flew off as this ce could no longer be called home for it. Julian looked around and saw the destruction they caused the whole power nt was reduced to smiters only leaving a huge ck crater here, he awkwardlyughed seeing the results of their battle, he called Heatran back to his Pokeball and changed his clothes and fixed his hair fast and left the ce as he knew that the amount of destruction they had caused was surely noticed by many people so he quickly escaped from there. Julian ''That was some intense battle right there now I think I should go back to pallet town but before that defeat Giovanni and Mewtwo, I have been preparing for that battle for a long time and Gengar is also ready for it'' Julian drove off in his bike as the sun was setting and disappeared into the horizon. Chapter 41 - Mighty Snorlax Julian has set up a camp near Cerulean city preparing some food for his new pokemon Snox who is sleeping near a tree and hasn''t woken up since Julian has caught him, his other pokemons are staring at this sleeping giant who doesn''t seem to wake up even after many tricks they used especially Gengar who tried everything in his arsenal to wake Snox up but it was useless as he didn''t even move an inch. Julian onlyughed seeing his Snox not even knowing that he is captured and just sleeping soundly as Julian was making a ton of food for Snox which is ready, smelling the food Snox''s mouth opened as if he is severing the smell of the food with his mouth then his eyes opened and looked around his surrounding to see that he was in a different ce than before, then he saw Julian cooking food in a huge pot and walked towards him, as he walked the ground shook as if they were tiny earth quacks ?? Julian "Snox good to see that you have woken up finally, I am your new trainer and those are your new friends" Snox looked at Julian and then looked at his other pokemons who greeted him happily, Snox also waved his hand happily at them saying his greeting, then he looked at the food that Julian was cooking. Julian "You must be hungry from all that sleeping, go ahead eat up" Seeing that Julian has told him to eat up Snox stepped forward and lifted the huge pot which was nearly half a ton and started to gulp down the food inside it, Julian had anticipated this after seeing his Snox size he had estimated that Snox is near 700 kgs so half a ton is nothing for him and can lift it easily, Julian is also relieved that Snox doesn''t need food every day and will only eat once a month so he doesn''t have to make tons of food for Snox every day. Snox who finished eating his food was very happy after eating such delicious food and fell in love with it so he lifted Julian and gave him a crushing hug, you could hear cracking sounds but fortunately, they were not his bones it was just some carbon dioxide bubbles bursting between his joints. Julian "Haa, Snox I get it that you like the food but please put me down or you are going to crush me" Snox put him down after Julian said him to do so Julian ''I didn''t think that Snox would be this friendly after being captured without its permission, System show Snox''s stats'' ___________________ Status - Snox Level - 60 Age - 10 years State - Happy Bond - 75% HP - 300 Attack - 210 Defense - 150 Sp.

System ''No, the stats disyed by the system is 100% urate'' Julian ''Shit Snox is seriously broken and I am very lucky that he didn''t resist the capture or I would have been in serious trouble and looks like me giving him food has deepened our bond'' Julian "Snox I cannot take you with me to our journey so I will send you to a ce, I know you will be sleeping most of the time so when you wake up I will call you back and make lots of food for you" Snox was sad at first that he cannot travel with Julian but hearing Julian will call him back every month and prepare food for him he became happy again and gave Julian a bear hug, this time Julian nearly fainted but he was saved by his other pokemons who told Snox to let go of Julian or he will get hurt. Snox let go of Julian and scratched his head in embarrassed then he suddenly yawned and fell asleep right on the spot, seeing this Julian didn''t know whether tough or cry he sent Snox back to his Pokeball and started to remove his tent as he need go to Cerulean city by tomorrow, after packing up Julian rode of towards Cerulean city Julian ''Speaking of Cerulean city I wonder how Jenny is doing'' Julian thought of Officer Jenny who he had spent a night with as he rode of disappearing from the horizon. Chapter 42 - Meeting Jenny & Joy Again Julian has arrived at the front of Cerulean city he enters the city and looks around and see that nothing major has changed, he thought of meeting Jenny so he directly went towards the police station as always the police station was empty as officers were usually on patrol when he entered the station he saw no one was there at the counter he starts to walk around inside the station as he hears soft moansing from the washroom, he knows whos voice this is, it is Jenny he slowly opens the door of the washroom and see Jenny ying with herself, Julian just shakes his head seeing her like this. Julian ''She is as perverted as she was when I met her'' ?? Julian decides to y a little trick on her as Jenny is fully concentrated on pleasuring herself she doesn''t notice Julian slowly getting closer to her, then she suddenly feels that someone is behind her she tries to turn behind but Julian quickly grabs her and pin her on the wall, Jenny is scared now as she didn''t think that someone wille to the station at this time as all the officers were busy at this time of the day, she always used to pleasure herself at this time and never get caught but now suddenly someone caught her and pinned her from behind she is scared, then she starts to think all kind of weird stuff like if she is gonna be raped here, she started to turn pale thinking this, then she suddenly heard the person behind her talk. Julian "Jenny, do you always do this? you know ist not good to pleasure yourself at a working ce what if you get caught by someone?" Jenny when heard this voice was stunned she had heard this voice before, she quickly turned around but this time she didn''t meet any resistance and she saw Julian with a mischievous smile on his face, she became happy then she got mad and started to hit Julian on his chest but they didn''t even face him Jenny "How could you do that, you know I was so scared just then" Julian "Hoho, it''s your fault for masturbating in your workce what would you have done if someone else was there instead of me" She bes silent as she is embarrassed by her actions. Julian "At least you could have locked the door from inside so no one would be able to enter" Now Jenny''s face was more red as she had forgotten to lock the door because she was in hurry to pleasure herself Julian "Well what could I expect from a pervert?" Now Jenny didn''t know how she will be able to look face to face with Julian, but she suddenly felt something in her pussy, it was Julian inserting his fingers inside her. Julian yed with her for few seconds as she couldn''t hold back her moans and her face looked really erotic. Julian "Oh, look at you so wet down there" Julian pulled out his fingers as her pre-cum dripped down his fingers, he then pulled Jenny closer to him and gave her a passionate kiss making her feel blissful, she even forgot about the incident that just took ce, she was now enjoying her self by rubbing her pussy while Julian kissed her after a minute of continues kissing they separated to take a breath. Julian "If you want to continue you should lock the door first" Jenny quickly ran towards the door to lock it as she locked the door two hands came from behind and attacked her huge breast, then he inserted them inside her uniform in pinched and pulled her nipples as she moaned loudly. Jenny "Julian take me" Hearing Jenny saying to take her right now Julian pulled out his cock and put it inside her as his cock entered her Jenny moaned very loudly then Julian started to thrust faster and faster making her moan nonstop, after ten minutes of continuous pounding Jenny finally cummed, her face was red with her tongue sticking out. Julian "Look at your face filled with pleasure, it''s not fair for only you to have some fun" Jenny "Don''t worry I will take care of it" She started to stroke his cock and went down her knees and swallowed it whole, Julian was surprised by her ability to take it fully inside, she then started to suck his cock very fast going front and back after few minuted Julian finally released his load inside her mouth which she drankpletely Jenny "I really missed this taste" Julian "I think you should change your clothes but first wash your self you reek of cum right now" Jenny "Ok" Jenny skips into the bathroom happily and washed her self up when shees out she has cleaned herself and wearing a new uniform. Julian "No matter how I look at you, you always look beautiful" Jenny "Stop flirting, let''s go outside" They both walk outside and right on time an officer walks in, they both sigh in relief that they came out perfectly on time. Officer "Officer Jenny the new Nurse Joy has moved in and is asking for you" Jenny "Oh she is already here let''s go then" Julian "I will alsoe to the center with you as I also want to go there, you can ride with me" Jenny "Ok then, Officer you continue your patrol I will go and visit nurse Joy" Julian hops on to his bike as Jenny sits behind him and they ride off towards the pokemon center, after reaching there Julian saw Nurse Joy from behind but when she turned around Julian was surprised, even though all the Nurse Joy looked the same Julian could always differentiate one from all the other Nurse Joy and she was right in front of him the first person he ever slept within this world Sara Joy is her real name Julian "Sara?" Joy "Oh Julian you are here, I didn''t think that you could recognize me" Julian "How could I not recognize you after what happened that day" Joy just blushed and lowered her head, Jenny who saw this already had formed a picture about Julian and Nurse Joy''s rtion, Jenny went near Julian and spoke close to his ear Jenny "Don''t tell me you have slept with her as well" Julian "Oh looks like you are a very smart woman, of course, I have and not just her I have many lovers" Jenny "Well I should have guessed that with your looks and personality I would had doubted you if you said you only slept with one or two women" Julian "You really know me" Seeing Julian and Jenny whisper something Joy was a little irritated, so she interrupted them. Joy "Officer Jenny can we continue our work then we can talk with each other" Julian and Jenny stopped and looked at Joy who was staring daggers at them Julian "I will go you two continue your work, I need to call someone" Julian ran away from there leaving the twodies behind Joy "Officer Jenny you look quite close to Julian" Jenny "Of course" She went closer towards Joy and whispered to her Jenny "You see we have had sex together and we did it even beforeing here" Jenny just wanted to have some fun with Joy, who had now be red after hearing Jenny''s answer Joy "s-se-sex?" Jenny "Omg, Sara don''t be so tensed I know you have also had sex with Julian" Joy was shocked by hearing Jenny Joy "How did you know?" Jenny "Julian said it to me just now, and Julian being Julian he would have multiple lovers so its no surprise if he has had intercourse with our cousins or sisters as well" Joy "I guess you are right" Jenny "You know this makes us like sisters as we are his lovers after all" Joy just nods her head as she is still embarrassed about talking about her sex life with others. Julian, on the other hand, is at the phone calling Professor Oak Oak "Oh Julian how are you" Julian "I am a fine professor I am at Cerulean city and I will be back there within a week or two" Oak "I see, then I will be waiting for you" Julian "And professor Oak I will be sending my Snox to you and you don''t have to worry about taking care of him he will just sleep and do nothing" Oak "So you caught a Snox, just ce his Pokeball in the machines Pokeball transfer pocket it wille here directly" Julian took out Snox''s Pokeball and put it in a bowl-shaped pocket then he pressed a button next to it then it suddenly disappeared. Oak "Oh, look it has arrived" Oak lifts up the Pokeball which just appeared in front of him Julian "Ok then Professor Oak I will be going" Julian cuts the call and goes back towards the counter where he could see Jenny and Joy talking happily. Julian "Have you two finished your work" Joy "Yes we finished registering my name here in this city''s citizen list" Julian has mostly figured out that Joy has been transferred here so he didn''t waste time asking a useless question. Jenny "Julian I was wondering if we could go on a date today you, me and Sara" Julian "I don''t mind at all, what about you Sara?" Joy "I don''t mind as well" Julian "Then its decided, we can go after your work hour is finished" Joy/Jenny "Alright" As time passed the three went on a date, Julian didn''t think anything weird about this date as he was happy having two beautiful women by his side and as night fell Julian booked a hotel room for them as they had a threesome with each other the whole night. Chapter 43 - Omniforce Julian has already left Cerulean city after saying his goodbye to both Joy and Jenny and is now headed towards Viridian forest so he can train there a little before facing Giovanni, He mostly nned to train his Gengar and evolve both Ivysaur and Pidgeotto as they just need an intense battle to stimte their evolution. Julian reached the forest by night so he decides to put on a camp after finding a good ce, in the night of the forest you could only hear bug pokemons creaking noises and Julian''s bike riding through the forest. ?? Julian ''I didn''t expect that the forest will be so quiet at night but I still have to be on alert as some pokemons can attack out of nowhere'' When the moon was up in the sky illuminating the ground of the forest Julian finally found a good ce to camp near ake, he set up the camp and called out all his pokemons to give them their dinner then he went on to cook his own food after finishing the food Julian started to meditate while meditating he started to circte the spiritual energy around him he could feel the energy from everywhere the air, water, trees thinking this he started to wonder why was this kind of energy never exined in the anime or the games from his previous world, he had once spected that he might have been cultivating Aura which was said that only Aura guardians can wield but he quickly canceled that thought because he knew that this energy he was cultivating was very different from the Aura he knew about in the anime and the games. Julian ''What kind of energy is this, I can control the spiritual energy in my body and soul at my will and can create different shape and size with it, I can also lift objects without even touching them as if I have telekinesis but its just like me using an invisible hand to lift it up, and the newest ability which I recently gained is able to talk to my pokemons without saying a word as if I am talking directly inside their head and I can easily understand what they are saying even though they just call out their names, I can also feel my strength rising slowly but the biggest thing changing inside me is my soul I can feel it getting stronger and stronger'' Julian had no exnation for this so he thought about his system, he used it rarely as he didn''t have much use for it except seeing his pokemon stats and earning money from it Julian ''System do you know anything about the spiritual energy I cultivate'' System ''Yes'' Julian ''Hmm, I get it, WAIT WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF ENERGY THIS IS'' System ''Yes system knows because System was created by God, even though System doesn''t have many functionalities, Systemes with the knowledge of everything that God has allowed System to ess'' Julian ''If you knew about this why didn''t you inform me'' System ''Host never asked'' Julian ''Wtf, well what can I expect from a system which has no emotions or consciousness''Julian thinks this to himself Julian ''Ok System from next time if you notice anything major changing in my body and soul inform me'' System ''Affirmative'' Julian ''Ok now tell me about the spiritual energy which I cultivate'' System ''The energy the Host cultivates is the very essence of the Omniverse which is created by God, all the universe contains this energy which is also called the Omniforce. But a living thing cannot use it as they will just explode as it cannot hold the sheer amount of purity and power present in it, the Omniforce is above all energy in the Omniverse as it also governs thew of space, time, creation and destruction, the spiritual energy present in this world called the Aura is just like a very weaker version or a byproduct of the Omniforce you cultivate, this energy can only be used by certain beings who God has allowed ess to and in this universe those will be Arceus and its three main creation Dialga, Palkia, Giratina who respectively controls Time, Space and Anti-Matter in this universe'' Julian was shocked after hearing everything, him cultivating the very essence of the Omniverse without having a clue about it. Julian ''How is that even possible'' Julian has already lost in his thought that he couldn''t even think properly now System ''As God himself created host''s body it could easily hold the Omniforce in it and also host soul is also being cleansed by it making your soul powerful day by day'' Julian ''Then why is my body stillking power'' System ''Host body is already a treasure above anything in the Omniverse, but God has restricted it as he doesn''t want Host to destroy the world you are living in'' Julian just got cold sweat after hearing about his body''s true capability and he was thankful that God put restrictions on it, as Julian was still processing everything he learned he was hit by a thought Julian ''Why did God grant me a body like this?'' System ''God has restricted System to know about this matter'' Julian was now in deep thought, why did God give him this type of body even though he didn''t ask for it, what was his intention behind it. Julian couldn''t figure out anything so he decided to just forget about it and see what his future will bring him, he then continued to meditate but he suddenly sensed something spying on him Julian ''Looks like it hase back again, this time you cannot escape'' As his pokemons were still outside he quickly took action Julian [Gengar go underground and sneak behind the thing that is spying on us from that tree] (A/N - I will be using ''[]'' to the dialogs which Julian sends directly towards his pokemon''s mind) Gengar was startled but quickly came to his sense and disappeared from his ce and the next second he appeared behind the thing which was spying on Gengar "BHHAAAAA" Gengar jump scared the thing which was busy looking at Julian that it didn''t even notice Gengar appearing behind it. It got pretty frightened by this sneak attack and blew up its cover and Julian was finally able to see it. Julian ''Hah, I knew it, it was you after all''. Chapter 44 - Meeting The Mysterious Pokemon Julian ''Hah, I knew it, it was you after all'' Julian was finally able to see the pokemon which was following him for most of his journey, he saw a small mouse-like pokemon with a whitish pink color body floating in the air having a surprised expression on its face then it started to smile again with its two small hands covering its mouth, it then turned around to look at Julian ?? Julian "Who could have thought that a Mew would follow someone on its own" Mew was still smiling after hearing Julian as it approached Julian and circled around him and then sat on his shoulder, Julian was really surprised by Mew''s behavior he knew that Mew doesn''t like to show itself in front of people and if it did show itself it would either be in disguise or be very cautious about it, Julian new that Mew was very intelligent probably more than a human so it knew if it appeared in front of a human they would try to capture it but seeing this Mew having no self-defense towards him really took Julian by surprise. He took out candy and gave it to Mew who happily took it and started munching it little by little, then it flew towards his other pokemons and greeted them, as they have already met before they looked very friendly towards each other, Mew then suddenly sent a small Dark Pulse towards Gengar back which took him by surprise and caused him to jump in the air from the sharp pain, Gengar became angry and started to rant at Mew but Mew justughed it off. Julian seeing this could onlyugh as this was Mew''s revenge on Gengar for scaring it. Julian ''Why is it following me? it''s very weird for it to just start to follow me without any reason, System can you think of any possibilities?'' System ''System has spected that it might be following host because of the Omniforce surrounding you, even though Mew cannot use it having DNA of every pokemon has allowed it to sense the presence of Omniforce around it'' Julian ''I see'' Julian looked at Mew who was ying happily with his pokemons using bubbles. Julian ''Will it joins my team if I asked it, well I should give it a try by asking it'' Julian "Mew" Mew turned around to see that Julian was calling it so it went towards Julian and tilted its head Julian "Will youe with us and be my partner" Mew hearing Julian''s question starts to smile while covering it mouth then goes back to y with his pokemons without giving an answer. Julian ''Well that was not what I expected, I thought it would either reject or agree but to just leave it like that, well it didn''t say no so I might still have a chance'' Julian forgets about this and starts to n for tomorrow''s training schedule and goes to sleep leaving his pokemons to do as they please. Next morning when he wakes up he finds that Mew has disappeared again but he didn''t think about it that much, he then gives them their morning breakfast, today he ns to go deeper into the forest as he heard from the locals near a town that a strong pokemon lives inside the deepest part of the forest so he thought it would be the right opponent for his pokemons, he didn''t know what kind of pokemon it is and how strong it will be. Julian ''I wonder what kind of pokemon it is, I hope its powerful enough for either Pidgeotto or Ivysaur they are very close to evolution and it might take ce any time'' Julian "Guyse back to your pokeballs we have to go deep into the forest" Julian calls back all his pokemons after they finish eating and he hops onto his bike and rides of deeper into the forest, he is easily able to handle his bike in the forest dodging trees and small craters because of its great grip and control of all trains Julian ''Its good that I bought this bike or walking in this kind of forest would be a hassle'' As he ventures deeper into the forest the pokemon encounter range increases he mostly saw Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, and Beedrill some other he encountered were Pidgey and its heard with Pidgeotto and Pidgeot, he also saw some pokemons which were not in the found in Kanto region such as Hoothoot and Noctowl, Spinarak and Ariados, and many more. He was really surprised by all the different pokemons he saw inside the forest which were not known to reside in Kanto region. Julian ''Looks like people of Kanto are reallyzy to venture deep into the forest and search for pokemons, I should tell Professor Oak about this he will run towards hearing after hearing this information'' Julian finally reached the deepest part of the forest and to his surprise, there were very less pokemon here like Caterpie and other weak pokemons, Julian thought that he would encounter some ferocious pokemon here but the once present here couldn''t even posses a threat to beginner trainers, but then he saw the reason for this situation he saw a Teddiursa ying with a Caterpie seeing this Julian was easily able to understand why there were only week pokemons here. Julian ''If there is a Teddiursa there will also be an Ursaring here, as Ursaring are really protective over their offsprings this exins why all the strong pokemons have gone, it chased them away so that its baby could be safe here'' Then he suddenly hears a loud roaring from behind the bushes than a huge pokemon slowly appeared in front of him a huge brown pokemon standing 1.8 meters tall ring angrily at Julian Julian ''No wonder they say that Ursaring is very violent and overprotective, I didn''t even touch its baby and it''s already angry'' Julian "Go Ivysaur" Seeing that Julian is going to fight it Ursaring bes angrier and dashes towards Ivysaur using Hammer Arm. Julian [Ivysaur use Grass Knot] Ivysaur hearing Julian''smand inside his head follows his order and maniptes the grass in front Ursaring and make several Grass Knots on the ground, Ursaring who is filled with rage and doesn''t see the knots trip and fall down crashing. Julian [Razor Leaves] Ivysaur sends a giant spinning de of small leavesbined together creating a huge spinning de which directly hits Ursaring and sends it rolling and hitting a tree, it suffers damage but quickly gets up but its body is covered with scratches and dust. Julian ''It has a good defense to be able to withstand that Razor Leaves head on and still standing'' Ursaring bes mad that it got hit and suddenly climbs the tree and jumps towards Ivysaur using Fury Swipes. Julian ''Looks like it''s not aplete fool and is not attacking from the air, nice try but it''spletely useless'' Julian [Ivysaur it cannot change its direction in the air, use Leach Seed] Ursaring had no idea what''s going to hit it but the next thing it saw was a seed shooting out of Ivysaurs flower and next, it was wrapped by vines then suddenly its powers got drained rapidly as it fell on the ground crashing, Julian thought this was over but then suddenly Ursaring gets up and charges towards Ivysaur faster than before as its ws glow as it is trying to use sh on Ivysaur Julian ''Looks like it has activated its ability rising its power and speed'' Julian [Ivysaur use Vine Whip to propel your self in the air then use Razor Leaves] Ivysaur uses Vine Whip and hits the ground with full power and causing him tounch up in the air and dodges Ursaring''s sh by and Inch then he sends another powerful Razor Leaves directly hitting Ursaring. Ursaring is hit again and sent backward rolling and this time it is hurt and is struggling to get up but it doesn''t give up and stands straight suddenly it starts to collect energy in front of it ready tounch a powerful Hyper Beam Julian [Ivysaur use Sr Beam] Ivysaur also starts to collect energy from the sun, both moves areunched at the same time colliding together causing a huge explosion, after few seconds the smoke gets cleared and the two pokemons are still standing then Ursaring suddenly goes on one knee as it has already used all it power in thatst attack and doesn''t have the energy to continue fighting, Ivysaur has already used Synthesis to recharge himself Julian '' Let''s finish this'' But he suddenly stops as he sees Teddiursa suddenly appearing before Ursaring blocking it, Ursaring bes worried after seeing its child in front trying to protect her, she warns Teddiursa to get away from here but Teddiursa is looking at Julian with determined eyes as if saying I will protect my mother. Julian was now in a very awkward situation as now he was suddenly turned into a viin even though Ursaring was the one who attacked first, he then sighs and forgets about continuing his battle Julian "Ivysaur lets go" Ivysaur understand what Julian is thinking and he also shakes his head as they have suddenly be viins but he is also relieved that Julian didn''t continue to battle as he didn''t want to hurt that little Teddiursa. Ivysaur nods and walks towards Julian but then he suddenly starts to glow indicating that he is evolving, Julian is relieved that Ivysaur is finally evolving after so much he has traveled today if he didn''t evolve it would have been really a waste of time. Julian ''Looks like the battle was enough for him to evolve'' Ivysaur was now finally evolved into Venusaur standing 2.3 meters tall from his legs to the top of his flower, he has be much bigger and powerful Julian ''System show Venusaur stats'' __________________ Status - Venusaur Level - 40 Age - 2.5 years State - happy Bond - 99% HP - 110 Attack - 130 Defense - 110 Sp.

Chapter 45 - Viridian City Julian spent two days in the forest but he couldn''t find a good opponent for his Pidgeotto, all the pokemons he encountered in the forest where week and didn''t give any experience to Pidgeotto seeing this Julian was disappointed as he wasted time in this forest. Julian ''Looks like I have to visit Viridian city, staying here won''t help either me or Pidgeotto'' ?? So he packs everything and heads off to Viridian City on his bike, on his was he saw Mew flying over him waving at him and disappearing, after meeting Julian that day it would asionally stop by to y with him and his pokemons or to eat something, Julian just smiled at Mew and waved his hand but then he suddenly realized something Julian ''Shit, what will Mew do after seeing Mewtwo, from what I know the Mew which is following me is a different one from the main storyline, even though Mew is friendly I don''t know if it will take things lightly seeing a clone of its species plus I know this Mew is way stronger than current Mewtwo I just hope it doesn''t just kill Mewtwo or anything else that might harm it, or I am just thinking too much well lets think about it after I reach Viridian city'' Julian mind was in chaos because the Mew following him was just a Nuclear Bomb and he wouldn''t be able to do anything if it wants to explode, he just sighs after not knowing what to do so he just continues his journey, after riding for six hours he finally saw the outskirts of the city. Julian finally reached the city there was a check post near the city gate and every person entering and exiting the city were checked Officer Jenny "Stop right there" Julian stopped his bike and showed his ID to Officer Jenny who took his ID card and starts to check the details and information about Julian Julian "Is there something wrong Officer Jenny" Officer Jenny "No everything is ok you are good to go but be careful in the city the pokemon kidnapping rate has gone exceptionally high fromst year" Julian "Thank you" He took back his ID and went inside the city Julian ''Looks like even though those three fools are not here the pokemons are still kidnapped here, well this city is the main headquarters of team rocket, I should look into this'' Unknown to Julian two pair of eyes were staring at him from a corner Cassidy "Hey Buk, isn''t he the one who beat us very miserablyst time" Butch "IT''S BUTCH HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT" Cassidy "Idiot don''t shout or he will beat us miserably again if he finds out" Butch "Yes that guy is scary and his pokemons are scary as well but they are very powerful perfect for our boss''s pokemon army we should inform boss about him" Cassidy "You are right, let''s go" Butch and Cassidy hurried towards their headquarters to inform Giovanni about Julian. Julian, on the other hand, reached the pokemon center and gave his pokemons to Nurse Joy for a quick health check, he just waited there until he received them back and went inside the room he just rented. Julian "Gengare out" Gengar came out confused after seeing his surroundings that he was in a room, he would mostly see an open field or will be called into a battle but this was his first time being called in a room, he looked at Julian with a questioning look Julian "Gengar I want you to go to the Viridian Gym and investigate there and tell me what is happening in there or anything suspicious going on, I don''t think anything can happen to you with the strength you are holding now" Gengar "gengaarrrr"[Leave it to me] Gengar puts his hand on his chest puffed up assuring Julian Julian "Ok go now and don''t cause any trouble" Gengar floats away passing through the walls and heads towards the Gym''s direction __________________ Gengar''s POV (A/N - I will be using ''[]'' to tell what the pokemons are thinking or saying) Gengar [Master has sent me on an important mission to investigate what is going on inside the Viridian Gym, he said that I will face a very powerful pokemon here, he also said to not cause trouble but me doing some little pranks won''t be considered as causing trouble right? Hehehe] Gengar quickly flew towards the Gym with his invisibility on when he arrived there he saw two big guards wearing roman diator style clothes, Gengar is intrigued by them so he goes towards them, he floats around them and he is surprised that even in this much heat of the afternoon sun these two fellows are standing like statues with no emotions. Gengar [Hehe they look so tough, let''s see if they can handle my greatness, but master told not to cause trouble right? but I am not causing trouble I will just y some little pranks on them hehehe] Gengar goes and taps on one guard''s shoulder, the guard turns towards his partner Guard 1 "Did you just call" Guard 2 "No, what are you talking about? get back to your work and stand still" Guard 1 ''But I thought he called me, well let''s get back to work if the boss sees mecking he will surely punish me'' But then he suddenly feels a tap on his shoulder Guard 1 "Hey why are you calling me?" Guard 2 "Is something wrong with you today I didn''t call you, now go back to your work or boss will kill us" Guard 1 became silent Guard 1 ''Looks like something is really wrong with me'' But then he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of his head as if someone pped him from behind Guard 1 "Hey man this is not funny I am here to guard this ce not to get hit by you" Guard 2 "What are you talking about why would I hit you, you idiot" Guard 1 "Then who hit me just now, was it a ghost?" Guard 2 "Look, man, you should go to the doctor to see if you are alright" Guard 1 "Did you just say that I am mentally ill, you are mentally ill you fucker" Guard 2 "What did you just call me? It''s your father who is mentally ill for giving birth to you" Guard 1 "YOOUUU...YOUR MOM GAY" Guard 2 "DONT TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER, YOU NO WHAT YOUR MOM GAY" Guard 1 "NO YOU" Like this they started to argue and insult each other but little did they know Gengar had one more surprise waiting for them when they were arguing they heard a small girl say something to her mother Small Girl "Mom look there is something small hanging between those two uncles legs" Mother "Omg Tina don''t look at them, they are perverts" Her mother quickly covered her eyes and said Mother "Tina never go near those uncles they are perverts" Tina "Ok Mom" When those guards heard the small girl they looked down and saw that their diator style frock messing even their underwear were missing, they both suddenly covered their crotch as people from the street were looking andughing at them some took their photos, they both were really embarrassed and didn''t know what to do suddenly ady team rocket agent came outside to see what was themotion all about Agent "What the hell is going on here?" Seeing these two guards standing in front of her half-naked from the bottom covering their crotch, her face became red because of embarrassment Guard 1 "Mam we don''t know" Agent "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU IDIOTS ARE DOING? RUINING THE PRESTIGE REPUTATION OF THE VIRIDIAN GYM, YOU GUYS ARE FIRED" The female agent was really angry after seeing such shameful thing and went inside as quick as possible, Gengar, on the other hand, wasughing his ass off after seeing the two guards. Gengar [GAGAGA it was so funny GAGAGA look at their face GAGAGA, hehe I should stop wasting time and go and look inside or master will be mad if I waste time here ying pranks on these pity creatures]. And so Gengar passed through the outer walls of the gym entering in leaving behind two half-naked big men crying on the floor. Chapter 46 - Gengars Adventure Gengar has sessfully infiltrated the Team Rocket base as he entered the Gym he saw a battlefield and a tform at the end covered by a curtain, Gengar look around and found a passage behind the curtain which leads to an office, in the office, he saw many paper files and other documents and a namete written Giovanni. Gengar started to look around and found a secret tunnel right under the chair, he passed through it and found himself in a long tunnel which leads down he floated down and when he reached there he saw a huge corridor made up of some kind of metal. He started to look around the ce and found some team rocket goons walking around discussing something, Gengar floated near them to hear what were they talking ?? Goon 1 "This month captured pokemons are really good, we will be paid well this month hahaha" Goon 2 "Yes we were lucky as many new trainers whoe here to challenge the boss are pretty strong, it made Viridian city heaven to still pokemons" Goon 3 "Haha once boss defeats them we are easily able to still them when they are injured and not their full strength this makes our work a lot easy" Goon 1 "I heard that this batch will be soon sent to be brainwashed and some are even reserved by Dr. Nanba to do some experiment" Goon 3 "Those unlucky pokemons, hey but we at least get our payment so who cares about them hahahaha" Goon 2 "Ya with that money I will be able to take my girlfriend to some nice vacation hehe" Goon 1 "Man I wished I had a girlfriend" Goon 3 "Ha, look at you thinking about having a girlfriend when you can''t even satisfy those whoresst night" Goon 1 "What did you say, well at least I don''t have a micropenis like someone" Goon 2 "Guys you should stop or someone will hear you" Gengar who has been listening to these goons rubish gets bored and floats away Gengar [ I heard that they have captured some pokemons I should look into this] Gengar looks around the ce and finally finds a door which is locked and any entry is restricted, Gengar easily passed through the door and finds himself in a dark ce he looks around and sees some infrared CCTV cameras hanging on top so he quickly turns them around so that he can continue his search. When he arrives right in the middle of the room he sees a big cage with lots of pokemon trapped inside they look weak and few pokemon who were in good condition were trying to break the cage from inside but they were not strong enough to break it, Gengar suddenly appeared before them causing few of them to get startled but they quickly came back to their senses Sandsh [Hey help use to get out from here] The Sandshash which was continuously shing the steel cage looked at Gengar and asked him to help them, Gengar looked at them and saw some of then where not in great condition and unable to properly stand up some were ok and only the Sandsh and Nidorino where in good health but were not that strong to break the steel cage. Gengar "gen-gengarr" [Stand back] The pokemons inside the cage quickly backed up after hearing Gengar, Gengar backed up a little and got into a punching position and started to cover it with fire, he was going to break the steel cage with a fire punch which he learned from Infernape even though not strong as Infernape''s but still pretty powerful, he punched the door of the steel cage with full force and next a snap sound came as door was snapped cleanly into two pieces. Gengar "gengarr-gar" [ You all get out from here, Sandsh dig to the underground and get out from here] Sandsh nodded and started to dig the ground the soon the other pokemons followed behind it some supported the others and quickly escaped from the base, Gengar stayed there until thest pokemon disappeared from his vision Gengar [Haha I would love to see those fools faces if they knew the pokemons they captured all escaped hehe, Ok let''s stop fooling around and look what more fun things are there in this ce GAGAGA" Gengar disappeared from there and next appeared in front of a corridor where he saw two people waiting near a door he looked at them as though he knew these two people Gengar [Hmm do I know them, I have never seen them but why do I feel like I know them, hmmmmm] Gengar started to think and find out who these two people where and finally he got the answer Gengar [Ha, they must be those two fools who Infernape and the other mentioned, he said that they offended master and got their ass whooped, hehe I should have some fun with them but first let''s see what they are on about] Gengar floats near them to hear what they are talking Cassidy "Hey Batch we have been waiting for the boss for such a long time, what is he doing" Butch "IT''S BUTCH GOD DAMMIT" Cassidy "Don''t shout I said it correctly its Bugh" Butch "Ha, never mind, but yes why is the boss taking such a long time we informed him an hour ago that we will arrive" But their wait was finally over as the door opened and they saw a female agent walking out of the door adjusting her skirt Agent "You both have been summoned by the boss" She says and walks away, Butch doesn''t think anything and walks right in but Cassidy stares at the female agent who is walking away Cassidy ''what a whore, wasting our time'' She also walks in followed by Gengar, when they enter they find their boss staring at them Giovanni "So why are you two here?" Cassidy "Boss we are here to report about that trainer who made us fail our mission" Giovanni "You mean that trainer who you met in Lavender town, the one who defeated you ck and blue" Butch and Cassidy were really embarrassed as they had been severely scolded by their boss that day after their failure and they knew he was still pissed about it Butch "Yes boss, we just saw him in Viridian city we think he is here to challenge the gym if you are able to snatch his pokemons they can easily be a part of your main force" Giovanni "You said that he has two mysterious pokemon and a powerful Ivysaur" Cassidy "We were recently doing research about those pokemons and found that one is a fire/fighting type pokemon called Infernape from the Sinnoh region and the other is a pokemon which lived in ancient times Kabutops which is a rock/water type" Giovanni "An Infernape and a Kabutops looks like you fools are not cking off, if you are able to capture those pokemons I will think about your promotions" Giovanni said and turned his chair showing his back and signaling them to leave. Gengar who listened to their conversation was in glee as he would now nning to make their day a living hell. As both Butch and Cassidy were about to leave with a smile on their face Butch suddenly felt his hand being controlled and the next thing he knew he was groping Cassidy''s ass, Cassidy was startled then she became angry. Cassidy "YOU PERVERT WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING" She turned around and pped Butch really hard without thinking where she was and left a palm print on Butch face, Giovanni suddenly got scared by the sudden shouting and turned around Giovanni "What are you two fo-" Before he could even finish his words he was greeted by two kicks from Butch and Cassidy right on the face, Butch and Cassidy have no clue what happened after Cassidy pped Butch they next thing they knew was their body were sent forward in a kick position towards Giovanni. After the kicknded all three of them were on top of each other with a broken table and document paper flying everywhere. Giovanni "HOW DARE YOU TWO ATTACK ME LIKE THAT, GET OUT YOU ARE BANNED FROM THE HEADQUARTERS" Butch and Cassidy were scared shitlessly and ran away from there without thinking a second, Giovanni got up and dusted his coat which was now full of dust. Giovanni "SOMEBODY COME HERE" He shouted out of his lungs and called someone and the next second few goons came running Goons "What happened Boss" They didn''t even see anything before asking but when they arrived they saw the office desk was broken and their boss standing there with two shoe print on his face angrily ring at them Giovanni "Clean this shit up, I am leaving" Giovanni left the room fuming with anger but he didn''t know that there was a devil following himughing his ass off at Giovanni. Chapter 47 - Mewtwo Giovanni walked into his room still fuming with anger, he could not believe that his own agents would attack him but he started to think something was suspicious. Giovanni "From the looks in their face they were very happy and had no reason to attack me and it also felt like they were thrown onto me, what is happening today first there was that incident in front of the gym and now this what is happening, I should look into this but first I have to clean my self" ?? Giovanni walked into the bathroom and undressed and looked into a mirror Giovanni "Hm, Look at this my beard is growing back again I should shave it off" Giovanni took a trimmer and switched it on but to his surprise, it suddenly started vibrating wildly which caused him to get startled and raised his hand up in the air then misfortune hit the trimmer went up in the air and fell on top of his head trimming down his hairpletely in the middle creating a bald space right in the middle of his head, it looked like a road going through a jungle. Giovanni froze right on the spot as he saw himself in the mirror and his bald space right in the middle separating his remaining hair, he started to turn red due to anger Giovanni "MOTHER FUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" What he didn''t know was this all was done by a Gengar who wasughing his ass of looking at Giovanni''s hair. Gengar [Look at this dude GAGAGAGA, well let''s get away from here or he will start to get more suspisious] Gengar drifted away from Giovanni''s room and continued his search for something more interesting, he passed from one room to another but he was disappointed as he didn''t find anything fun to do but he soon found a huge door which had a big red restricted ess sigh, Gengar being Gengar went towards the door but to his surprise he was pushed back, he got confused and looked at the door and started to investigate it and he found that there was a barrier preventing him from entering. Gengar [Looks like there is some kind of barrier here, how should I enter?] Gengar started to think about how to pass through this barrier then he got an idea Gengar [Haha, why should I go through it if I can go under it] Gengar dived into the floor and went inside and next, he resurfaced inside a room filled withputers, he started to look around and found that therge disy was disying some kind of heart rate and other specifications but he couldn''t understand what they are so he went forward and finally he saw something, an unknown pokemon covered with some kind of machine which was attached to wires connecting to theputers, Gengar got intrigued and went forward to investigate. He arrived in front of Mewtwo which was standing still without any movement, seeing this Gengar taped its shoulder to y his prank again but it didn''t move, seeing there was no response Gengar tried again but there was still no response he then appeared in front of Mewtwo with his invisibility off but still Mewtwo didn''t move, seeing that it still didn''t move Gengar started to make funny faces to at least get a reaction but again it was of no use. Gengar [Hmm, is this a statue its not moving at all but I can feel that it''s alive so it cant be a statue, I also never seen a pokemon like this before] Gengar started to wonder what is this pokemon in front of him but even ravaging through his brain he couldn''t find anything rted to this pokemon in front of him Gengar [What could it be, hmm wait I think Master sent me here to find out about this pokemon, I should go back and report this to Master quickly] Gengar quickly went underground and disappeared from the room and left the Viridian gym and went towards the Pokemon center to tell Julian about everything he saw there. Back inside the headquarters, Giovanni was adjusting the hair on top of his head it looked clean as if nothing happened to his hair at all. Giovanni "I actually have to wear this stupid wig to cover up that mess which happened earlier, but why are these things happening today first that guard incident next those two fools suddenly attacking me and now this it all looks like someone or something did this on purpose, I hope that who or whatever did this to me will never appear in front of me or I will tear it into pieces as he was still adjusting his wig he heard a knock on the door, he quickly straightened himself. Giovanni "Come in" A female team rocket agent came in, it was the same agent who was seen by Butch and Cassidy leaving Giovanni''s office, she walked in nervous as she didn''t know how to report this matter to him, Giovanni noticed her nervousness and squinted his eyes Giovanni "What''s the matter, Reba?" Reba struggled for a little bit and finally forced her self to spill it out Reba "Boss the pokemons which were captured by this month have all escaped" Giovanni "WHAT?" Giovanni stood up mming both his hand on the desk which caused his wig to fall off revealing his ''New Hairstyle'' to Reba, Reba was startled after seeing this new look of her boss and started to think Reba ''Was the hairstyle the same when we did that, that means he was wearing a wig all that time'' Giovanni quickly realized what happened and put the wig back on his head Giovanni "What do you mean by all of them escaped?" Giovanni quickly changed the topic and Reba also followed as she was an intelligent woman or she would not be in this position if it was not for her quick-witted mind and cunningness Reba "It looks like the pokemons broke free from their cage and dug a hole and escaped from the underground without getting caught by any of our surveince Giovanni "How is this possible the pokemons inside were not strong enough to break the cage" Reba "You are right, boss, it looks like it was done by some pokemon and a powerful one" Giovanni "Pokemon?" Reba "Yes, we investigated the cage door and found that the steel was melted a little with direct contact and there was also a fist print, indicating that a fire type move was used from the outside" Giovanni "Did you get any footage from the CCTV present in that room?" Reba hesitated for a little and continued Reba "No that pokemon seems to be very smart and had turned the CCTV cameras direction or had destroyed it" Giovanni "You are saying that a single pokemon infiltrated the base caused trouble in the base and freed the pokemons without anyone noticing?" Giovanni was really pissed as today was really a very bad day for him and it turned out to be even worse Reba "Sir we came to a conclusion that the pokemon which infiltrated the base was a Ghost-type" Giovanni "Ghost-type?" Reba "Yes even though we couldn''t catch any footage of it, there where some blur is seen in some cameras even though it was not clear it passing through the walls suddenly appearing and disappearing from one ce to another, we think it was a ghost type and a very powerful one" Giovanni "A Ghost-type, Hmme here and get on your knees and relive my stress" Reba didn''t question and went towards Giovanni and went on her knees and unzipped his pants to do her work, she knew Giovanni was pissed and wouldn''t be good for her if she refused or didn''t do it properly. Giovanni ''A fucking ghost pokemon, I see it all make sense now, that guard incident, those two idiots and that bathroom incident I was yed by just a pokemon and put in such a miserable state, just you wait when I find you, you won''t be able to escape next time''. Chapter 48 - Giovanni Vs Julian (1) Gengar returned back to the Pokemon center and entered Julian''s room where he saw Julian lying ob the bed as his eyes were closed, seeing this Gengar took a marker from a desk nearby and tried to scribble something on Julian''s face but he was suddenly startled when Julian caught his hand just before the marker tip was about to touch his face. Julian "Hoho, look at you trying to y some pranks on me" ?? Julian opened his eyes and sat up straight on the bed Gengar "Gagaga" [Hahaha I was just trying to have some fun] Gengar said rubbing the back of his head, seeing this Julian just shook his head as he knew Gengar''s nature so he couldn''t do anything. Julian [So tell me what is going inside the Viridian Gym?] Julian asked Gengar telepathically, Gengar started telling him about his time in the team rocket base, how there was an underground base under the gym, how he freed the pokemons and about Butch, Cassidy and Giovanni''s conversation. Julian "Heee, those idiots are here, they were lucky that I didn''t break thempletelyst time but looks like they really want another good beating" Gengar "genngaaarrrrrrr" Gengar nods his head agreeing to Julian''s statement. Julian "Let''s leave that for now, what else did you find in there?" Gengar [Oh I forgot, I saw a strange pokemon strapped with metal armor which looked like some machine and they were connected to a big screen which showed weird lines] Julian ''Looks like he saw Mewtwo'' Julian "Tell me more about it" Gengar [It was very strange I tried to make it move but it stood still like a statue, but I could feel its lifeforce so I don''t think it''s dead] Julian "did you do anything to it?" Julian was now worried that Gengar might have done something which may cause trouble in future. Gengar [I just tried to make it move by touching it and make funny faces but it was of no use] Julian sighed with relief, then he started to think about Mewtwo Julian ''It looks like Mewtwo is being fully controlled by Giovanni and won''t move until he says it to do so, its good that Gengar didn''t try to remove anything from Mewtwo or it might have gone on a rampage'' Julian "Ok Gengar tomorrow you might have to fight that pokemon so be prepared, for now, you should rest" Julian sent Gengar back to his Pokeball and started to think about tomorrows battle Julian ''The thing about Giovanni is that he has a lot of pokemons and I really don''t know which one he is going to use, and it seems that he knows about me so he might use his strongest pokemons to tire or injure mine, well I will be looking forward to it, but my biggest concern is neither Giovanni nor Mewtwo but Mew, I just hope its not present during my battle and even if it is present I hope it doesn''t interfere in any way'' Julian after thinking about this for some time he decides to leave it at the side and meditate to calm his mind, he didn''t even realize that he has fallen asleep on the bed in the same position. Next day when he woke up it was still dawn and very little light was entering his room, he rubbed his eyes and stretched himself Julian "Looks like I fell asleep during my meditation" Julian went outside and did his daily morning workout with his pokemons, after finishing he came back to his room and freshened up Julian "Its time, let''s visit the Viridian Gym" Julian went out and hopped onto his bike and rode off towards Viridian gym, he arrived there to see a water fountain between two staircases which led to a huge orange color building and in front of the gate were two big men wearing a diator style uniform, what Julian didn''t know was that these two were new guards because the old once where fired due to ''someone''. Julian walked towards the gate and came in front of the two guards who were blocking his path. Julian "I am here to challenge the gym leader of the Viridian gym" Guards "You may enter" The Guards moved aside and opened the gate, Julian walked in to find a huge battlefield and a tform across the battlefield, he could see a faint outline of a person sitting on a chair on top of that tform, Julian knew this was Giovanni. Giovanni was also looking at Julian he had asked Butch and Cassidy how Julian looked so he could recognize Julian instantly. Giovanni ''Ha, I didn''t have to wait for long, if what Butch and Cassidy said about his pokemons are true then I must have them and to test this out how about I send some of my most powerful pokemons and if he defeats both of them he should feel honored that he will be the first person to see my greatest creation hahahaha'' Julian "I am Julian and I am here to challenge you to a Gym Battle" Giovanni "Sure, the rules are simple we both will use three pokemons the first person to lose all three pokemons will be the loser" Julian "Ok now let''s continue" Julian didn''t even look at him and waved his hand and went and stood on the battlefield, seeing this Giovanni was irritated but he kept it in. Giovanni "Very Cocky, let''s see how strong you are, go Nidoking" He takes out a Pokeball from his coat and tosses it down as it opens fully grown Nidokingnd on the battlefield causing dust to rise up in the air Julian ''This Nidoking looks well trained but its still no match for me'' Julian "Go Kabutops" Julian tosses a Pokeball up in the air and Kabutopses out of it revealing his sharp des which look very intimidating as if those are the des from the scythe of a death reaper Giovanni ''So that a Kabutops an ancient pokemon which went extinct but it''s not surprising as many fossils can be revived'' Giovanni "Nice Pokemon you got there but it will lose very badly" Julian "Dont talk too much and let''s continue" Julian really got on Giovanni''s nerves Giovanni "Nidoking use Brick Break" Nidoking rushed towards Kabutops and lifted his hand to deliver a powerful Brick Break if this move could hit Kabutops he would be seriously injured but that never gonna happen Julian "Dodge, then use blizzard" Julian [After using blizzard use Waterfall and get behind it and use Metal w] Julian didn''t want to waste time-fighting these normal pokemons so he decided to finish it quickly. With a single movement, Kabutops jumped away from the slowly descending Brick Break as it hit the ground sending some parts flying but Nidoking was to slow to get into defense position as Kabuto quickly activated Blizzard which causes the whole surrounding to go cold as the ground started to be covered with snow which caused Nidoking a lot of damage but it didn''t stop their suddenly Kabutops was seen high in the air as he jumped up and use Water Fall causing water toe crashing down, Kabotops used the water as a cover to hide himself as Water Fallnded on Nidoking itpletely went on to its knees, even though Nidoking was strong with a huge defense a powerful Ice and Water-type moves could bring any Nidoking down but seeing Nidoking was still not out it showed how powerful it was. Giovanni was shocked seeing such development and the moves were executed so fast and powerful he didn''t even get a chance to warn Nidoking after he saw Nidoking hit by the Water Fall he tried to say something to Nidoking but before he could Kabutops had already made his move, using the water to hide himself he easily got behind Nidoking andnded a powerful Metal w right at the back of his head sending Nidoking crashing down. Julian "Kabutops finish this Ice Beam" Before Nidoking even got a chance to struggle he was hit by an Ice Beam causing him to faint on the spot without any resistance. Giovanni was utterly shocked as one of his most powerful pokemon was just been dropped under a minute. Giovanni ''Impossible how is that Kabutops so fast and powerful, I must have it to myself then I will be more powerful hahaha'' Julian "Hey, your pokemon didn''t evenst a minute, is this what they call the most powerful gym in Kanto?" Julian remark was full of sarcasm and Giovanni easily noticed it which caused him to be very angry but he still kept it inside Giovanni "Hm, I didn''t expect that this will happen as I underestimated you, but my next pokemon will show you how strong the Viridian gym is" Giovanni "Go Aggron" A huge Aggron took the stage just by looking at it one could tell that its nature is nasty and cruel but it is also a powerhouse Julian ''An Aggron, as I thought he has pokemons which don''t only belong to Kanto but let''s see if it can take a hit from Infernape, he hasn''t had punching bag since he evolved maybe this Aggron might be of some use'' Julian "Kabutops return" Julian returned Kabutops back to his Pokeball and took out another one Julian "Go Infernape" He tossed the Pokeball up in the air and Infernape took the field as soon as Infernape came in the temperature started rising as he purposely controlled it to intimidate his opponent and it worked as Aggron being a steel type it could feel the rising temperature even though due to its rock subtype which reduced the effects of fire based attack he could fell the temperature going up crazily. Infernape''s mastery of fire has gone beyond normal and now he could control it as the way he wants he could raise its temperature, reduce its temperature and many more. Giovanni was also feeling the sudden change in the surroundings as he started to sweat due to the rising temperature. Giovanni ''Just by looking at that Infernape I know its way powerful than his previous pokemon Kabutops, from the looks of it all his pokemons might hold this much power, I WANT IT, I WANT ALL HIS POKEMONS'' Unknown to Giovanni Julian is nning to finish this with a one-hit move Julian [Activate Iron Fist, then as soon as I say go activate ze then use me Charge to sprint towards Aggron then deliver the final blow using Focus Punch] Hearing Julian''s voice in his head Infernape nods his head as he activates his Hidden Ability Iron Fist which increases the power of all his punching moves. Giovanni also get back his attention to the fight but it toote for him to do anything Julian "Go" As soon as Julian says go Infernape roars as he is surrounded by fire which turns into a huge pir of mes which rises toward the ceiling puncturing a hole in it, the residence of the city also saw this huge pir of fire and thought that a volcano has erupted but they realized that there is no volcano in the city, Infernape suddenly charges towards Aggron with full speed using me charge increasing his speed more. Seeing the destruction caused by just using ze he is shocked but as he looks down he saw something Giovanni "Not Good, AGGR-" Before he could even finish saying his word Infernape who was powering up suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Aggron leaving a trail of mes behind him if the trail of mes where not present people would think that Infernape just teleported. As soon as Indernape appears in front of Aggron he hit Aggron with all the power stored from one ability and three skill, Aggron didn''t even know what happened as the next thing he knew was he is nted into a wall with severe pain running through his body as he faints. Yes, just a single punch sent Aggron flying back causing arge boom sound as the dust cleared the next thing everybody saw was an unconscious Aggron nted into a wall below the tform Giovanni was sitting, Giovanni was on the ground as he fell from his chair onto the floor from the shock wave created by Aggron crashing below the tform, he was stunned he didn''t know what to say, he was staring at Infernape as if it was a monster, he suddenly started to doubt himself Giovanni ''How can I win against such a monster, can my greatest creation evene close to it, no way its way faster and stronger than my creation how can such a monstrous pokemon exist'' Giovanni had totally lost his mind and couldn''t think logically at all but he is still a Boss of a huge criminal organization so he was able to calm himself down quickly. Giovanni ''Haha, I was actually scared, I even forgot to think rationally, my greatest creation is a Physic type and with that, I can easily win hahaha'' Even though Giovanni has calmed himself down an unwanted fear has risen in his heart which made him forget about the most crucial part of this battle, Julian has still not reviled his third pokemon but Giovanni was fully concentrated on Infernape and didn''t think of anything else, the fear which has risen in his heart has severely clouded his judgment. Giovanni "Hahahahahaha, such a strong pokemon you have there, after seeing your pokemon I have decided that you are worthy to show you my most powerful pokemon, My greatest creation, the strongest pokemon" As Giovanni was babbling, Julian was dumbfounded as he saw Giovanni''s hair there was big d line right in the middle of his head as it separated his hair apart Julian ''WTF is wrong with his hair, and was he wearing a wig all this time? was he wearing a wig from the very beginning? No, no, no that can''t be why would he make a fool of himself by doing such a stupid haircut, wait yesterday Gengar was here maybe he is the reason behind it hahahaha I knew Gengar would do some mischief but to actually do this to Giovanni hehehehe'' Julian was trying his best to control hisughter so he didn''t hear any bullshit Giovanni was saying, but he suddenly heard a sound he looked at the source and saw a wall slowly being lifted up and there it was inside the room covered with a machine type armor standing still then it slowly walked out. Giovanni "Behold my Greatest creation" Julian ''Finally''. Chapter 49 - Giovanni Vs Julian (2) Giovanni "BEHOLD MY GREATEST CREATION" Julian ''Finally'' ?? Julian stared at the pokemon which came out of the room, it was Mewtwo a pokemon created from the DNA acquired from a single strand of a Mew''s eysh, it was created to be better than Mew in every possible way but the experiment was neither sess nor a failure. Julian ''Mewtwo was created to be stronger than Mew but extracting a single DNA and multiplying it with other scientific methods has caused a lot of trauma to this Pokemon which is in front of me, even though they were sessful in creating it, it''s still not a perfect being like Mew, it has lost its rationality, versatility and most important it is lost in its own thoughts, it doesn''t know anything about its purpose or the reason for its existence, it was just created to be a weapon for Giovanni and I must help it'' Giovanni "The Pokemon in front of you is the strongest pokemon to ever exist, no one can defeat it, its the ultimate lifeform" Julian looked at Giovanni as if he was a clown Julian "You are a very delusional old man, what''s the use of a pokemon being strong when it can''t even control its own emotion its just a barbarian with brute force and nothing else" Giovanni was surprised as he saw Julian had no reaction seeing Mewtwo, he was then shocked when Julian said that Mewtwo had no emotions. Giovanni "How did you know?" Julian "Well I know a lot about you, Giovanni or I should call you the boss of the criminal organization team rocket" Giovanni froze on the spot as he didn''t expect Julian to know his identity, he looked at Julian with wide eyes and pointed his finger which was shaking at Julian. Giovanni "You, Who are you?" Julian "Who am I is not important, what''s important now is to free Mewtwo from your clutches" Giovanni "How? How do you know its name?" Julian "Just like I said I know everything about you and also the methods you used to create Mewtwo and how you tried to dispose of the people who went against you" Giovanni didn''t know what was happening, his biggest secret which was known by only a few people under him, was now being exposed by aplete stranger he just met today, he started to think about all the possibilities that could have led to Julian figuring out his secret after sometimes it finally hit him, the incident that took ce months ago in Cinnabar Ind, he had sent an elite force named the Matrix to find John the team rocket scientist who had escaped from his clutches but when they found and interrogated him he said that somebody stole the whole information about Project Mewtwo, Giovanni didn''t believe him that time because why would a persone to an abandoned broken mansion and even if he did why would he steal a project from a scientist which he has no clue about, Giovanni once suspected that a member from the inner circle was behind this but he was proved wrong, but now everything became clear to him. Giovanni "You, You were the one who was in the Cinnabar Ind and stole my research from that good for nothing old man, how dare you try to get in the way of the glories team rocket" Julian "Glories my ass, you guys torture and kill pokemons just for some stupid experiments, you guys have killed many innocent people in this process as well, you think I don''t know what happened to those scientists who took part in creating Mewtwo, except one or two rest of them might be dead already or are rotting in some cell" Giovanni "Ha, I can do anything I want because I have power, you think you are some kind of hero foring here to take revenge for those who have been done injustice by use" Julian "That''s where you are a wrong old man, I am no hero as I have done a fair share of killing my self but taking an Innocents life that I have never, even though I don''t care about normal people seeing innocent die for no reason just makes me sick and that''s why I came here to free that weapon you have there which may be the cause of a great disaster in your hands as your greed blinds you" Giovanni "Hm, you think you will be sessful in doing what you say, you are the one who is delusional thinking that you even stand a chance against a pokemon which is made to be stronger than the Legendary Mew itself" Julian "Ha, it''s just you iming that Mewtwo is stronger than Mew, have you ever seen a Mew have you ever seen its true power, and you just state that your creation is stronger, dream as much as you want while I drag you down" Unexpected to both of them a certain someone has also entered the building and it was Mew, and the event happened which Julian didn''t want to happen at all, Mew sensed Mewtwo and when it saw Mewtwo as it felt a simr connection to it but an inferior lifeforce inside it Mew easily found out that it was a clone, even though Mew is friendly it didn''t like when it saw a ripoff of its own species, as its eyes became cold as it stared at Mewtwo, it wanted to erase this thing before it right now but it waited to see what Julian is thinking about, as it had followed Julian for some time it knew that Julian will take the right decision no matter what and it is, and it also wanted to see what it''s species'' clone can actually do. Giovanni "Enough talking let''s see how you will fair up against Mewtwo, haha if you want you can use as many pokemon as you want" Julian "Heh, I don''t need to use all my pokemons to defeat you, just one is enough, Infernape return" Julian returns Infernape back to his Pokeball Giovanni "Hahaha aren''t you going to use your Infernape or have you given up already" Julian just ignores Giovanni Julian "Go Gengar" As Gengar enters the stage he looks around and sees Mewtwo then he looks up to see Giovanni and his hair, remembering what he did to Giovanni yesterday he started tough loudly at Giovanni pointing his finger at him Gengar "GAGAGAGAGAGAGA" Giovanni bes dumbfounded as to why Gengar isughing at him then he realizes something and puts his hand on top of his head and realize that his wig has fallen off and bes embarrassed as he remembers how he was boasting in front of Julian with such a hairstyle Giovanni "How dareugh at me you low life" Gengar doesn''t get offended by Giovanni but he suddenly does a movement with his hand as if he is taking a trimmer and cutting his hair right in the middle of his head, he does this in front of Giovanni and looks at him with a smug on his face as if he is saying ''What are you gonna do about it''. Giovanni looked at Gengar action and remembered yesterdays incident then he suddenly realized Giovanni "It was you who did this to me and caused me a great loss" Giovanni looked at Gengar furiously as his body trembled due to the embarrassment he received due to his hair. Gengar, on the other hand, was stillughing looking at Giovanni''s state, Julian could do nothing but shake his head seeing Gengar provoking Giovanni Giovanni "I AM GONNA KILL YOU, I AM GONNA KILL YOU BOTH" Giovanni "Mewtwo use Psycho Cut" Giovanni in rage has forgotten that he couldmand Mewtwo with just his thought but due to his rage he now just wanted to defeat Julian. Julian [Gengar dodge] Gengar moved away from his spot as the Psycho cut hit the floor sting it into pieces Julian ''Just as I expected it move is filled with brute force and has no proper control over it, but still getting hit by one of them might cause damage to Gengar'' Julian [Attack with multiple Shadow Ball] Gengar floated up in the air as it created multiple shadow balls which were surrounding his, each and every ball where filled with powerful ghostly aura which could cause anyone to have chills down their spine, the Shadow balls started to revolve around Gengar with full speed as it formed an outer ring around him then he sent them shooting towards Mewtwo as if they were fired from a machine gun. Giovanni "Use Barrier" Mewtwo was just like a puppet following orders as it created a barrier to protect itself from the Shadow balls but its effort wherein veins as the barrier started to crack as it was continuously hit by Shadow Balls at the same spot and finally it shattered like ss as Mewtwo got hit by the Shadow Balls again and again with a barrage of Shadow ball sending it rolling back but it got up straight as if nothing happened, even though there were signs of being injured all over its body it showed reaction to it as it''s deviated of any emotions, what did go unnoticed that due to Gengar''s powerful attack, the helmet Mewtwo was wearing got a sight crack at it back which couldn''t be seen by anyone. Giovanni "Use Psyshock" Mewtwo suddenly send out a wide range attack with is Psyshock towards Gengar, Gengar didn''t have any chance to escape it so he got hit by it sending him back receiving some damage but he got up again Giovanni "See this is the power of my greatest creation" Julian "Stop talking bullshit my Gengar did more damage to it previously" Giovanni just shut his mouth after hearing this, he just wanted to show off in front of Julian without thinking about the consequence of it, he now felt more anger but he gained back his sense Giovanni ''How foolish of me tomand Mewtwo with my voice'' Giovanni [Use Thunder Bolt] Mewtwo suddenly sent out a powerful Thunderbolt towards Gengar Seeing Mewtwo suddenly using Thunderbolt Julian quickly made his move. Julian [Gengar dodge it, and from now on stay close to the ground don''t float high] Gengar who was up in the air dodged the iing Thunderbolt by diving downwards Julian ''Looks like the idiot finally came back to his sense and is using telepathy with Mewtwo, this will be more difficult'' Julian [Gengar use multiple Shadow balls to distract them and get behind Mewtwo and use Sucker Punch] As Julian says Gengar creates multiple Shadow balls but this time they were lesspared to before but their opponent didn''t notice it because it was revolving around Gengar with high speed forming a ring. Giovanni ''Che, this attack again'' Giovanni [Mewtwo use Barrier and slow down those Shadow balls using gravity] Mewtwo was just like a puppet as it did as Giovanni said, what they both didn''t know that this move was just a distraction, as Gengarunched multiple Shadow balls at Mewtwo, he suddenly disappeared from his ce, both Giovanni and Mewtwo were concentrated on those Shadow balls which were slowed down to some extent but it still hit the Barrier hard, as thest Shadow ball hit the barrier shattered, Giovanni smirked thinking that he has deflected the attack but then he saw Gengar was nowhere to be found in the battlefield Giovanni ''Not good'' But it was toote before he could even tell anything to Mewtwo Gengar resurfaced back of Mewtwo and delivered a destructive Sucker Punch right on its back sending Mewtwo crashing down on the ground as it rolled off towards a wall and got mmed, this was a very powerful dark type move and everyone on the battlefield could see its effects as Mewtwo flinched to get up, what was still unnoticed was that its back armor received several cracks which were covered by dust hiding it from everyone''s eye. Giovanni couldn''t believe what he just saw, his most powerful creation was smacked like that. Giovanni "How is this possible?" Julian "Are you an idiot asking such stupid question, even though Mewtwo is strong it doesn''t have any experience in real battle, its moves are sloppy and most important it''s just a puppet with no mind of its own right now so how can it even battle when facing against a strong pokemon" Hearing Julian Giovanni has finally realized, he has just ignored every possibility because Mewtwo could just overpower every pokemon it met with its physic powers but now facing against an opponent which has a way to counter it he didn''t know what to do in this situation. Giovanni "Hm, is this is just the beginning I will show you how powerful Mewtwo is" Mewtwo flinched a little and floated back towards its original spot but there was something different about it this time. Julian could feel it, it was mild but he could sense that Mewtwo is slowly gaining control over the machine. Julian ''Just a little longer and it will be free, but then it will be the most difficult as Mewtwo might just go berserk after being freed from the control of Giovanni, well time will tell what will happen'' Julian [Gengar get ready the real fight will begin soon] Gengar bes serious as he stares at Mewtwo with cold red eyes. Chapter 50 - Mewtwo Vs Gengar Julian [Gengar get ready the real fight will begin soon] Gengar bes serious as he stares at Mewtwo with cold red eyes. ?? Giovanni [Mewtwo Recover then activate Future Sight] Mewtwo uses Recover and gains back a little bit of its power then its eyes starts to glow a blue color Julian seeing this knew Mewtwo has activated some special move but he didn''t know what it is so he decided to figure it out. Julian [Gengar use Shadow balls again and do the same thing you did previous time] Gengar again started to revolve Shadow balls around him andunched them as if they where fired from a gun, as he did that he went underground to appear behind Mewtwo but to their surprise, Mewtwo used Barrier to defend against those Shadow balls seeing this Gengar resurfaced to deliver a Sucker Punch it was greeted by Mewtwo facing Gengar and sending a Psycho Cut at point nk range. Julian ''It looks like it used Future sight'' Even though Mewtwo was able to see through Gengar''s move using Future Sight, Julian had never let his guard down even for a second as he needed Gengar''s full power for the uing serious battle. Julian [Do a backflip and send a Dark Pulse towards it] Gengar was waiting for this movement even though Mewtwo had activated Future Sight it couldn''t predict a move even Gengar didn''t know and suddenly receiving an order from Julian even before a second passed, Gengar did a backflip as he dodged the Psycho Cut as it went over his eyes as he saw Psycho Cut going over him in slow motion, as he turned upside down and started to create Dark Pulse between his hands and sent it towards Mewtwo''s face while he was still turning in air, the Dark Pulse was one of Gengar''s powerful long-range attack, even though it was not as strong as his Sucker Punch receiving it in a point-nk would cause very serious injury, but Mewtwo was wearing a helmet which took all the damage and caused it to shatter into pieces like ss. Mewtwo suddenly froze on spot. Giovanni became rmed seeing the helmet shattering like this, but it didn''t stop there he suddenly felt a sharp pain entering his brain, the helmet was the key for him to suppress Mewtwo who had already once gone berserk before, after capturing it again they had ced this machine to suppress Mewtwo, the machine acted as a source for Giovanni to order Mewtwo around by channeling Mewtwo''s psychic powers to Giovanni''s brain but now things took the wrong turn as the Helmet shattered arge amount ofpressed psychic powers directly assaulted Giovanni''s brain causing him to suffer not being able to handle this much power for his normal human body, and so Giovanni fainted causing the connection between Giovanni and Mewtwo to snap. Mewtwo stood there motionlessly as its eyes glowed blue, then it suddenly released a burst of psychic energy all around the ce. Julian ''Here ites'' Julian surrounded himself using Omniforce which easily repealed the psychic st from Mewtwo, Gengar went underground to escape from it, Julian knew if he didn''t stop Mewtwo now it might cause destruction everywhere and he was ready to take action. Mew, on the other hand, was watching all this happen with curiousness, it looked at its species clone and started to think what it should do, at first when Mew saw Mewtwo it became furious but now it felt different as Mewtwo went berserk just now all its negative emotions were also released which Mew felt and started to feel pity for Mewtwo who has gone through so much hardship but that doesn''t mean Mew isn''t thinking to kill Mewtwo because it could also sense the maliciousness of Mewtwo towards its Original, Mew was waiting for Julian''s decision. Mew saw that Julian was about to make a move as well so it closed the surroundings with a barrier which stopped all the psychic sting out of Mewtwo, Julian also felt that the psychic st has been contained inside the gym by a powerful barrier. Julian ''Looks like Mew is here and has surrounded the gym with its barrier, I just hope it doesn''t do anything until I calm down Mewtwo'' Julian now was nning to battle Mewtwo to tire it and make it escape from its berserk state. Julian [Gengar from below use Hex] Suddenly dark clouds form under Mewtwo who is standing there releasing arge amount of power in its berserk state as it didn''t notice suddenly arge red eyees from below and passes through Mewtwo freezing him on the spot as it flinches and arge amount of damage is done to Mewtwo. Julian [Now sucker punch] Gengar resurfaces from below Mewtwo with full speed and delivers an uppercut to Mewtwo using Sucker Punch sending Mewtwo up in the air but Mewtwo isn''t done as it turns around in the air and sends out multiple balls made out of psychic energy toward Gengar, and Gengar couldn''t dodge it and was hit multiple times. Mewtwo didn''t stop there as it dived downwards aiming at Gengar using Zen Headbutt Julian [Counter it with Shadow w] Gengar quickly got up and prepared himself as he created a huge ck w on his right arm and ready strike with it using full power, Mewtwo arrived and Gengar alsounched himself up in the air as Zen Headbutt and Shadow w shed right in the middle of the air causing even air to distort and break the sound barrier sending sonic boom everywhere, even the ground below them shattered by the recoil of these two attacks. Both pokemon were sent back Gengar went flying and was about to hit the wall when but he went pass right through it, Mewtwo, on the other hand, went rolling on the ground but it got up and now more angry than before it beserker state was not over yet, not able to see Gengar anywhere Mewtwounched itself towards Julian using Zen Headbutt again. Julian [Shadow w] As Mewtwo reached near Julian he moved aside revealing Gengar right behind him who was elerating towards Mewtwo using a huge Shadow w and aging they shed causing more craters on the ground, the structure of the gym started to crack from the bacsh of all these attacks. Julian ''If this continues the gym will copse, well I don''t give a fuck'' Julian didn''t care about what happened to the gym building as it was none of his business. The sh between Mewtwo and Gengar had the same result again both were sent back from the recoil of their attacks. Julian [Shadow balls] Gengar suddenly appeared high in the air and surrounded himself with multiple Shadow balls which were revolving but this time the ring looked very big in diameter indicating that there were more shadow balls in them revolving at high speed, the revolving of the shadow balls even caused a small tornado to form below Gengar as the move was growing more and more powerful the air around the gym went cold from all the ghost energy radiating from Gengar and a spinning ring of multiple Shadow Balls. Mewtwo also went into position as it started to collect arge amount of psychic energy between its hands ready tounch a powerful Psychic Beam, even its surrounding started to change from the exposure of all the psychic energy released from Mewtwo Then it happened both Gengar and Mewtwounched their attacks at the same time, Gengar''s multiple Shadow balls were so fast and traveling in the same line it looked like it was a beam instead of individual Shadow Balls, they were so fast that they broke the sound barrier continuously that it formed a void with no sound in its path, Mewtwo Psychic Beam also traveled with super speed as it screamed tearing the air in front of it and shed with the Shadow balls of Gengar, the collision force was too powerful, even Julian had to cover himself with more Omniforce to not get affected by the two attacks, everything in the surrounding started to break apart not even air was spared, as the area was covered by Mew''s barrier the energy created by the collision of two forces had nowhere to go causing it to destroy everything inside after everything was destroyed it assaulted even Mew''s barrier as it slowly cracked from the pressure building in. Both Gengar and Mewtwo were still continuing their attacks as either one didn''t want to back down, Mewtwo was in beserker mode and Gengar was just Gengar who didn''t like to give up, outside the barrier even Mew was struggling a little to keep the barrier intact. As both Gengar and Mewtwo were continuing their attack the power slowly started to decrease as they started to get more tired, using their every energy to send out a move continuously was very tiring and finally the two moves stopped but the energy inside the barrier was at it peak and the barrier finally started on the top releasing all the recoiled force up as it punctured through the roof and went up towards the sky causing even clouds to separate. Back on the ground both Mewtwo and Gengar looked very tired as both of them breathing heavily, there was something different about Mewtwo as its eyes where not glowing stating it was back to its senses. It looked at Gengar who was breathing heavily, it was puzzled to find itself in such a tired state, then it slowly recalled everything from day one since it was created till today''s battle, Mewtwo looked around but it sensed something, somting very powerful looking down on him feeling pressured by some unknown force it decides to flee and floated in the air and shoot of towards the sky disappearing. Mew tried to follow Mewtwo but it saw Julian just staring at the direction Mewtwo went with a smile, Mew didn''t understand why Julian was smiling but it decided to not follow Mewtwo after this, he wanted to see what Julian was up to, though it didn''t want to take any chances so it had marked Mewtwo with its power so if Mewtwo was up to something Mew will try to stop it. Seeing that Mewtwo has already disappeared from his site Julian sighed and walked towards the unconscious Giovanni who was stripped naked on the floor, Julian pped him to wake him up. Giovanni woke up startled. Giovanni "Where am I, what happened?" He looked around to find the ce in chaos then he saw Julian right in front of him smiling, he again looked around to search for Mewtwo but he couldn''t find it anywhere. Giovanni "What did you do to my precious creation?" Julian "No need to worry it just went outside to take a stroll it wille and visit you back one day" Giovanni was puzzled by Julian''s words Giovanni "What do you mean by that" Julian "I don''t know, I just have a hunch" Giovanni just grumbled as he was still suffering from pain in his head and now his whole body was aching. Julian "Now, stop grumbling and give me my badge" Julian asked with a smile on his face Giovanni "What badge?" Julian "Of course the Earth Badge, didn''t I just defeat you" Giovanni "What, when, I never saw it, what are you talking about" Julian face suddenly became cold as he took out a small knife from his pouch and stabbed it towards Giovanni, seeing this Giovanni''s face went pale as he thought he will die but then he suddenly felt a slight pain on his cheek, he opened his eyes to see that Julian just brushed the de of the knife n his cheek as it was stabbed into the ground beside his face, then he suddenly heard a cold voice Julian "I really don''t like jokes, are you sure you don''t know any thing about our battle" Seeing Julian''s cold eyes Giovanni got scared as he started to sweat, he was really scared this time as he knew those eyes, it was the ones that have seen many deaths and one more would, not affect it in any way, Giovanni finally realized how dangerous Julian really is Giovanni "Haha I was just joking" Giovanni quickly went near his broken desk and started to throw the broken pieces everywhere to find a badge, he quickly found one and gave it to Julian. Julian "See, its not that hard, now I will be going" Julian walked out of the gate, as he saw the two guards outside the gate unconscious. Julian ''They must have passed out from the bacsh'' He ignored them and left the area on his bike. Inside the gym Giovanni was sitting on the ground naked with a pale face, he was about to cry as his greatest creation has escaped Giovanni "I have to find it, I have to find Mewtwo or all my years of investment will just be gone into dust". Chapter 51 - Pidgeottos Revenge Julian is inside the pokemon center waiting for his pokemons to getpletely healed, he is waiting near the reception as he was in deep thought Julian ''Now that I have freed Mewtwo before it was introduced in the anime, I don''t know what will change in the future, but I have a feeling that Mewtwo would still do the same as he did in the anime, as he wishes to wipe out all the original pokemons from this world, I have to be ready for that event as I don''t know if Mewtwo will take the same course of action as it did in the anime, if it doesn''t I have to forcefully bring it down'' ?? As he was in his thought process Nurse joy came out with his pokeballs Joy "Mr. Julian here you go, they are all in good shape" Julian stopped thinking and received his pokemons Julian "Thank you, Nurse Joy" Joy "You''re wee" Julian walked out of the center and is now ready to head back. Julian ''Guess I have to go back to Pallet town, now only two things I need to do, one is to resolve the Mewtwo situation and sweep the Indigo league'' Julian hops on to his bike and rides of towards Pallet town. Julian was now setting a camp near the river where he first met Pidgey now Pidgey was a Pidgeotto and only needed a good chance for simting his evolution, it was already evening so he decided to leave tomorrow for Pallet town, Julian went to sleep after doing some training with his pokemons and giving them food. Next day he woke up early and started to prepare food for his pokemons he called them out and told them to continue their training, as Julian was preparing food a strong Gust came out of nowhere and startled him, it blew up his tent and all his utensils seeing the sudden incident Julian frowned and quickly moved away from the strong Gust, he looked at the direction from where the Gust came and saw a group of Spearow followed by arge Fearow in the front, this Fearow looked very menacing, seeing this Julian knew that this group hase to steal the food but he suddenly realized something, the group of Spearow looked simr to him. Julian ''Arnt they the same ones who where harassing Pidgey, looks like perfect time to simte Pidgeotto''s evolution'' Julian "Pidgeotto look, we have some guest here why don''t you greet them" Pidgeotto was staring at this flock with cold eyes he always wanted to get back on this group of Spearows for what they did to him that day and today he would get his chance, when he heard Julian he flew up in the air and sent multiple Air shes towards this group. Seeing the iing attack the Fearow quickly moved out of their way as the Air shes hit the Spearow behind it causing some of them to fall down after getting hit by those power Air shes. Fearow who saw its servants being injured became angry but also cautious as it got some idea that the opponent is powerful, it also saw that its opponent had allies who were staring at them, but its pride got the better of it and attacked Pidgeotto with Quick Attack. Julian just let Pidgeotto do the battle as he wanted to see what he will do Julian [Pidgeotto you are on your own, show me how good you have be] Pidgeotto nodded, he also used Quick Attack but to dodge Fearow he didn''t want to mindlessly waste his energy attacking head-on, Pidgeotto moved away and sent a single big Air sh towards the unprepared Fearow sending it spinning in the sky, it quickly used its wings to bnce itself and preventing its fall. Fearow this time didn''t attack head-on and sent whirlwind towards Pidgeotto who countered it with Hurricane which was way more powerful than Whirlwind and easily destroyed as it continued towards Fearow, seeing this Fearow sent another Whirlwind and this time it sessfully deflected it. Fearow was getting frustrated and soared high in the Air and dived down towards Pidgeotto using Drill Peck, its beak started to be covered by white color energy which formed a drill shape and started to spin in high speed as Fearowunched itself towards Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto seeing this sent multiple Air shes to slow down Fearow, form the time he has been with Julian he has known how to handle the situation on the battlefield, Pidgeotto sent out Air shes in a wide range so that Fearow cannot dodge every one which ising it way and as Pidgeotto predicted Fearow got hit by two of them slowing it down giving Pidgeotto more time to prepare a powerful Hurricane, Hurricane was Pidgeotto''s most powerful attack as it has not learned any special moves such as Arial Ace or Brave Bird, Leaving it to master the use in wind-based attacks and he has already mastered it, The slowed down Fearow didn''t see iting but Pidgeotto and gathered enough power tounch a powerful Hurricane which was three times bigger than the previous one he used. Pidgeotto sent out a huge Hurricane which blew everything in the surroundings, Fearow just saw a huge twister made of wind raging towards it, Fearow braced itself to receive the attack but suddenly the remaining group of Spearow came in between Fearow and the huge Hurricane, they started to counter it using Gust but it was all useless as it all got swallowed by the Hurricaneing towards them, as the Hurricane came near them it started to pull all the Spearow inside as they couldn''t resist the suction force of it, the Fearow tried to put on a fight but it also got sucked inside it as the Hurricane took them far away from this ce. Pidgeotto had used a great amount of power inside this attack, even though it wasn''t necessary he thought it would help him simte his evolution and he was right just after the event Pidgeotto started to glow and grew bigger as he evolved into Pidgeot, Pidgeot looked bigger and stronger than normal Pidgeot, this was not unusual as all of Julian''s pokemons had this trait, he had personally trained all of them really hard and fed them with nutritious food so this result was a must. Julian was satisfied by the battle, he knew from the start that Pidgeotto would win even if he didn''t evolve, he just wanted to see how will he handle his situation.

After doing all the chores Julian fed all his pokemons and sent them back to their pokeballs and rode off towards Pallet town. Chapter 52 - Back To Pallet Town Julian has arrived near a cliff, he walks near it and looks at a small town ahead, there are small houses and grasnds, fields to grow crops and a hilltop, on that hilltop is a giant windmill next to a building. Julian ''Its been long since I left Pallet town and now I am back, looks like nothing has changed'' ?? Julian walks back to his bike and rides along the road to Pallet town after some time reach Pallet town, he saw people working on the fields happily, people leaving here were friendly to everyone when Julian entered the town few people working at the field saw him as they became curious as many people didn''t live here and people were acquainted with each other here, few of them recognized him as they saw him in Professor Oak''sb but most of them had no clue, Julian just smiled at them and went towards Professor Oak''sb. As he was heading towards Professor Oak''sb he saw ady waving her hand indicating to stop, Julian recognized her she was Ash''s mom Delia Ketchum, they had met once but they never talked to each other as Julian was busy with his research and studies and Delia woulde over sometimes to talk to Professor Oak with Ash. Julian ''Why is Delia waving her hand at me does she have some work, now that I think about it one of the biggest mysteries about pokemon is who is her husband, well it''s even mysterious than the most mysterious pokemons'' Julian stops near Delia and looks at her, he is surprised that Delia looks beautifulpared to anime, well every person in this world is more appealing than the anime as they are real people. Julian ''What a waste, leaving such a beautiful woman behind, Ash''s father must be even a bigger idiot than him'' Julian "Miss Delia, how can I help you?" Delia "Huh, you know me?" Julian "Of course we met once before at Professor Oak''sb" Delian thinks for a little and finally realizes it Delia "Ah, yes I remember I saw you working in Professor Oak''sb a few times, haha how could I forget such a handsome face" She says and hits her head lightly with her knuckles and smiles. Julian ''Hm, she is indeed Ash''s mom she tends to forget some things but at least she is mature and understandable'' Julian "I see that you remember me, so how can I help you, Miss Delia" Delia "Are you going to Professor Oak''sb?" Julian "Yes I just came back and now heading there" Delian "Great, I also wanted to go there since I saw you going towards that direction I thought you could give me a lift, looks like I am lucky to meet you" Julian "No problem, hop on" Julian started the bike and waited for Delia to sit, Delia walked towards the bike and sat behind him holding him from behind, this was her first time sitting in a bike so she was a little worried if she would fall off while riding, Delia suddenly felt Julian''s abs as she started to touch them without even knowing what she was doing she just did it subconsciously, Julian felt Delia''s hands on his stomach but he didn''t say anything and rode off. Delia gained back her consciousness and was a little embarrassed by her action, she had never felt abs like those before in her life. Delia ''Omg what am I doing, he is so much younger than me I shouldn''t do those things, but it been long since I felt like that'' Delia was in her thoughts and didn''t realize that have reached theb Julian "Miss Delia we have reached theb" Delia came back to reality and found her self tightly holding Julian as her breasts were squeezed on Julian''s back and her hands on his waist feeling his body, seeing this Delia quickly let go of Julian and went inside theb. Julian sighed seeing this, he realized that because of him Delia became sexually frusted as she hasn''t had sex from the day Ash was born and her husband left her, he thought to help her as he didn''t mind as she is still very beautiful but he stopped his thoughts as she was married, even though Julian has had sex with married women they were the one who approached him, he didn''t know how Delia felt about her husband so he decided to investigate about it first. Julian also walked in to see Delia talking to Professor Oak. Delia "Thank you, Professor, for fixing this" Oak "Haha no problem Delia juste to me whenever you have a problem with your home appliances" Delia "Thank you then I will be leaving" Delia turned around and saw Julian entering, she was embarrassed a little but quickly got her thoughts clear. Delia "Julian, thank you for the ride, I will be going" Julian "It''s ok Miss Delia it was nothing, I enjoyed yourpany" Delia quickened her footsteps after hearing him, she was really embarrassed and didn''t want to show her face right now, Julian just smiled and waved his hand at her. Oak "Oh Julian you are back this quickly, I thought it will take another week for you" Julian "I already have 8 badges so I came back and I had to give you those evolution stones" Oak "Ha, yes how could I forget my own research hahaha, well it''s because of you, with that Mega stone you showed me my interest waspletely focused on it, by the way, do you have it now" Julian "Don''t worry Professor Oak I have everything you need but first I will freshen up before that" Oak "Oh how rude of me, Ipletely forgot due to my excitement" Julian "Its ok professor, I will be going to my room" Julian went back to his previous room and saw that nothing was changed everything was ced on the spot where he left them when he left, he quickly undressed and freshened himself and got into somefortable clothing a loose shirt and half pants, he walked out to see Professor Oak was noting down the pokemons present in the back side of theb, Julian walked towards him and took a deep breath. Julian "Its been long since I have been here" Oak "Yeah its been seven months since you left" Julian "Come out everyone" Julian took out all his pokemons except Gyarados as there was no water here, there was one just nearby so he decided to bring him there afterward. Oak "Hoho, look at them all they all look so well groomed, well I expect nothing less from you" Julian "You tter me" Oak "Oooo, is that the Heatran you captured, I can''t believe I am seeing one right now" Professor Oak was fascinated by seeing Heatran as he ran towards him. Julian "Professor don''t touch Heatran his skin is very ho-" It was useless as Professor Oak had already touched Heatran with his bare hands Oak "AAAARRRRRGGG" Julian "I told you not to" Oak "Hahahaha, don''t mind me I was just so excited to meet a legendary pokemon from ancient times" Julian "Heatran let Professor Oak have a look at you he will not harm you" Heatran nodded and lowered his skin temperature, Professor Oak didn''t waste time and started to look at Heatran. Oak "His skin is actually made of steel and the holes in his body radiate so much heat" Julian "Those holes in his body are actually caused by the heat inside his body causing it to melt his skin, I think these holes form when they are inside their egg when they don''t know how to control their body heat" Oak "That really a good exnation, I should note it down quickly" After looking at Heatran Professor Oak''s attention was caught by Kabutops Oak "Is he the one who came out of the fossil you showed me?" Julian "Yes, he is Kabutops he evolved from Kabuto at Seafoam Ind" Oak was fascinated and started to note down everything he saw on Kabutops, he even asked Julian some stuff about them, Oak also examined all his other pokemons and he was really impressed by them Oak "Infernape and Electabuzz''s fur are so bright and shiny, Venusaur''s flower looks stunning and bright color, Pidgeot wings are very sturdy and strong, Gengar looks very bigpared tost time I saw him in the monitor and his color looks very different" Julian "Yes Gengar is actually a shiny" Oak "Yes, that exins his darker color, by the way where is your Gyarados?" Julian "Lets head over to theke nearby I will release him there" Julian and Professor Oak walk for a minute followed by all of his pokemons, when they arrive there they see Snox sleeping soundly beside a tree next to theke Oak "Your Snox is really strong when it got here it scared of the hoard of Tauros''s feeding here with just one punch to the ground, look that crater where it was created by him" Julian looked at the crater andughed awkwardly Julian "I was really lucky that I was able to catch him without any resistance" Oak "There is nothing wrong in that, luck is also a factor in a trainer''s strength" Julian "I guess you are right" Snox who was sleeping slowly opened his eyes and saw Julian next to him Julian "How are you buddy are you done sleeping" Snox got happy and bear hugged Julian until his other pokemons came to his rescue, Julian felt a little relief after that bear hug as it took out most of the strain in his back Julian "Looks like you are hungry, don''t worry I will make special food for you" Snox became happy and went back to sleep. Julian "Gyaradose out" Julian''s Gyarados came out andnded on top of the water creating a huge ssh, he stood 9.5 meters tall as his red scales shine brightly under the sun Oak "Omg look at his size, I still remember when he was just a golden Magicark look how big he has gotten" Gyarados looked at Oak and recognized him, Professor Oak sometimes used to take care of Magikarp so he was close to him, Gyarados gave his greetings to Oak as he started to explore his surroundings, thiske was big enough for him to easily roam around freely here Julian looked at Gyarados and smiled, he and professor went back inside theb leaving is pokemons behind to do whatever they want. Oak "Now that, everything is done we should discuss Mega Stone" Julian "Yes lets do that". Chapter 53 - Mega Evolution Professor Oak and Julian entered the research room to continue their conversation Oak "Now that we are here you should take it out" ?? Julian put his hand inside his pouch and took out three things an Ice Stone, a water stone and the Mega stone. Julian "Here is your evolution stones" Oak "Thank you for bringing them, Oh wait here I also have something for you" Professor Oak walk''s near a shelf and takes a yellow color box from there and gives it to Julian Oak "It was the only one my friend had, you were lucky that to contacted me in time or this would have been sent to Sinnoh region" Julian "Thank you, Professor Oak" Oak "Now that this is out of the way show me the mega stone" Julian gave the Mega stone to Professor Oak so that he could look at it properly it was a shiny yellow color marble with the blue and red color pattern inside it, Professor Oak examins it properly and finally nods with satisfaction clearly shown on his face Oak "This is indeed a Mega stone, I wanted to do research on this for a long time, I was even called to Kalos by Professor Sycamore to research about this phenomenon of Mega evolution but due to some circumstances I couldn''t go there, but now I can hahahaha, this is my luckiest day" Julian "Professor calm down this will not go anywhere" Oak "You don''t understand Julian how excited I am to continue this research and to do that I need your help" Julian "My help?" Oak "You said that your Gyarados found the Mega stone, so I am pretty sure that this is a Gyaradosite and let''s try to Mega evolve your Gyarados but first let me do some preparation" Julian "Wait, Professor didn''t you tell that we need a Keystone for this to work" Julian looked at Professor Oak with doubt but he realized something Julian "Wait don''t tell me you have a keystone?" Oak "Hehe, you guessed it right as soon as you said that you found a Mega Stone I contacted Professor Sycamore to send me a Keystone and he sent me one, he was also excited to hear that I could do some research on it and speed up its process of the research, he sent me one right away, wait let me bring it" Oak went towards his personal desk and took out a locket which was holding a shiny Keystone surrounded by a ck metal ring which was holding it on ce followed by a ck string tied to it Oak "Look at this, isn''t it fascinating" Julian "Indeed" Oak "I have already prepared the necessary items lets go out, I have kept them in inside the storeroom" Professor Oak walked out of the room followed by Julian, they entered a storeroom as Professor Oak lifted a huge box, it was a little heavy so Julian lifted it and brought it out. When he opened the huge box he saw a huge shiny metal te which was shaped like a wide V with a small hole in the middle and a small spike on top of it, it looked like a trident with a small middle de and two long ones on the side, Julian figured it out seeing this, it was a metal armor for Gyarados''s head which could be put on his horns and a ce to keep the Mega stone, it had some mechanisms for adjusting its size too. Oak "I asked my friend who is an expert in handling tungsten to make this headpiece for Gyarados" This armor was thick and was made up of tungsten, it was the hardest metal found in this world till now. Julian ''Its actually made up of tungsten, it''s the hardest metal found in this world, its same as on earth, now I look at it the metals and materials found in this world are not very different from earth'' Julian "Its good that you asked for Tungsten and it''s pretty thick it will be able to handle powerful hits from other pokemons" Oak "I considering that option is why I asked him to specially make it from tungsten, he was really pissed of as it is very hard to melt tungsten hahahaha" Julian "Let''s go I also want to try Mega Evolution" Oak "Hahahaha you stole the words in my mouth, let''s go quickly" Professor Oak bolted towards theke where Gyarados was resting, seeing this Julian shook his head and followed him carrying the huge Tungsten armor, as they both arrived near theke they saw all of his pokemons ying some games, Julian walked towards theke and called Gyarados Julian "Gyaradose here" All his pokemons turned around to look at him to find out what he is doing, Gyarados approached Julian as he was also curious to why he is being called Julian "Bend down a little, I need to put this te on your forehead" Gyarados lowered his head and allowed Julian to do what he wants, Julian adjusted the te a little and ced it onto Gyarados forehead, it was a perfect fit next he took out the Mega stone and ced it inside the hole meant for it. The trident shape te didn''tpletely cover his horns as they were still sticking out at the end and the middle horn was fully exposed with only a small spike covering the lower part but it looked very good and stylish like a crown and with the Mega stone shining in the middle it looked really magnificent. Gyarados seeing the Mega stone ced on its head got what Julian was trying to do and be excited Julian "Ok Gyarados now we will try to perform Mega evolution to try to focus" Gyarados got serious and was ready for it, Professor Oak was also prepared as he had already ced several cameras around theke and was put on recording, he had a tablet in his hand and was ready to take down the changes in Gyarados, Julian''s other pokemons were also excited, once Gyarados had mentioned them about a weird stone he and their master found under the ocean and how he felt a powerful attraction to it, they have already figured out that this was the stone Gyarados mentioned to them so they wanted to see what this stone could do. Julian "Ready?" Gyarados just nodded, Professor Oak and his other pokemons also noded their head subconsciously. Julian "Gyarados MEGA EVOLVE" Julian touched his Keystone yelling Mega Evolve, he knew some details about Mega Evolution and how it required a deep bond between a pokemon and its trainer to Mega Evolve, as he shouted he tried to focus and connect himself with Gyarados as he did that the Keystone started glow followed by the Mega Stone on Gyarados''s head, rays of light came out from both the stones and fused with each other then suddenly Gyarados started to glow brightly as his size gradually started to grow and once he reached his limits the white glow shattered into pieces revealing a huge 12 meters long Mega Gyarados. Gyarados has grown exceptionally big, his three horns became ck along with his belly, two huge light blue fins grew at his back right behind his head they looked like spines of a Spinosaurus, his fins which wereing from the side of his jaws also became longer and sharper his other fins also had the same changes, the side spots on his body became a very dark red in color. Seeing this Julian was in shock because this shiny mega evolution was very different from the one he imagined. Julian ''What just happened, howe Gyarados have blue fins and why is his belly ck instead of yellow and his horns also turned into ck instead of dark red, from what I know shiny Mega Gyarados looked very different in the anime than my Gyarados, wait is this a different path of Mega Evolution just like how Charizard has one'' Julian ''System quickly scan Gyarados and name it typing to me'' ___________________ Status - Mega Gyarados Type - Water/Dragon Level - 65 Age - 3.4 years State - exited Bond - 100% Hp - 380 (380) Attack - 370 (290) Defense - 275 (200) Sp.

Ability - intimidate (unlocked), moxie (unlocked) ____________________ Julian ''It actual gained a Dragon-type ss instead of Dark, as expected it is a different path of Mega Evolution for Gyarados than the one that was shown in the anime which was a Water/Dark type, if this is true that means every pokemon has different type of Mega Evolution paths just like they showed for Charizard X and Y, while Charizard X gains a Dragon-type bing Fire/Dragon Charizard Y remains the same as before with Fire/Flying type, well this is reality and is much different than the anime where many things are limited so having more than one mega evolution path is not very surprising, Mega evolution doesn''t just evolve your pokemon and make it stronger, it also unlocks a pokemon''s hidden typing based on how they Mega evolve, as Gyarados looks like a dragon but was never ssified as a dragon type but now after Mega evolving it gained the Dragon ss, same can be said for Mega Charizard X'' While Julian was wondering about how Mega Evolution worked, Professor Oak and his pokemons were shocked seeing this transformation. Oak "So this is what Mega Evolution looks like, MAGNIFICENT" Professor Oak quickly starts to take down the changes on Gyarados and watch some footage captured by the cameras. Julian''s other pokemon approaches Mega Gyarados as they start to talk something only pokemons could understand, Julian didn''t hear anything as he was still thinking. Gyarados, on the other hand, was feeling very powerful, he knew his strength went up by leaps and bounds, he shared his experience with his friends who are obviously Julian''s other pokemons. Julian shook his head and put the thought aside as he started to admire his Gyarados which looked very menacing as he stands 12 meters tall any pokemon who saw him will run away from fright. Professor Oak finished taking down the notes and also started to admire Gyarados magnificence Oak "Hahahaha I will send this footage to Professor Sycamore, he will be pleased with this new information, what I can see is your Gyarados Mega Evolution is different from the normal one, Professor Sycamore and mentioned the changes a Gyarados receives but this is something very different" Julian just stays silent after hearing Professor Oak words, Julian just pretends as if he is shocked by listening to Professor Oak''s statement. Oak "Ok Julian that enough, for now, I think we should head back inside now, Daisy will being soon, I told her that you have arrived so she is bringing extra food for you as well" Julian "That''s great let''s go in" Julian looks at Gyarados and thinks of how to cancel the Mega Evolution, as he does that Gyarados glows and returns back to normal, Julian sees this and smiles as he follows Professor Oak back to theboratory leaving behind his pokemons to carry on their game. Chapter 54 - Legendary Trainer? Julian follows Professor Oak back to theb again as they sit down and have some conversation about Julian''s journey. Oak "I heard that the abandoned power nt exploded recently, you were near the powernt when it happened right? do you know the reason behind it? " ?? Julian was taken back by this question but he didn''t want to say anything to him. Julian "I don''t know I didn''t stay even for a day at any town near the powernt so I have no clue" Oak "Hmm, it''s fine they were going to rebuild it but for some reason, the construction was dyed, the workers said that they couldn''t enter as pokemon''s living there would attack them with no reason, many even said that the legendary bird Zapdos lived inside so people stopped entering it, but suddenly everything disappeared" Julian looked at Professor Oak and thought how true Professor Oak''s words were but he has no clue. Oak "Well it''s good news as well as they are now nning to make a better one thanst time which will supply electricity to the whole Kanto Region" Julian "It''s good to hear" Julian just nods and continues listening to Professor Oak Oak "Recently the Viridian Gym also suffered some structure destruction, was it you as the people said that it was caused due to the battle between a trainer and the gym leader" Julian couldn''t hide this fact as this was clear as a day and anybody could easily rte the incident to him so he didn''t hide this one Julian "Yes it was me. the gym leader was really good and forced me to go all out" Oak "Hahaha, I guessed it right, Viridian city''s gym is the undisputed gym in the whole Kanto so a battle like that is not surprising at all, you know there are some rumors going wild about you because you defeated the gym leader of the Viridian gym, some even went beyond and said that you are a legendary trainer who is traveling around the world and when you heard about Viridian gym you went and challenged it and how easily you defeated him by blowing his gym, its lucky that no one has seen your face or the media would have already hunted you down after that incident many news reporters went to Viridian city to cover this story, they were really disappointed that they could not get the person in action on their cameras but they got tons of stories made by people about you, hahaha" Julian "People are always making unnecessary problems for others, it''s just a pokemon battle no need to take it to such length" Oak "Well it''s not surprising at all for people to make such assumption as you don''t see a building destroying battle every day" Julian "If you put it like that it makes sense" Julian ''Man people love to make stories even if they were not present in the scene, I just hope that this thing dies down quickly'' (What Julian neither Professor Oak knew that this rumor is going to spread like wildfire to every region as the world will talk about a legendary trainer that is invincible). Oak stood up and walked towards the TV and switched it on as both of them were getting bored because they had nothing to do now, Professor Oak had already sent the video footage to Professor Sycamore who lives in Kalos and was waiting for Daisy his granddaughter to arrive but she is runningte, they had nothing to do so they decided to watch some TV. When Professor Oak turned on the TV the channel which disyed on the screen was a news channel known as ''Kanto Today'' it was now being hosted by a beautifuldy as the photo of the Viridian City''s gym was being shown from the top view. Host "As our viewers can see that the structure of the Viridian gym ispletely decimated and the huge gaping hole on the top, the residence of the city said that they first saw a huge fire pir rising toward the sky and after some time a huge explosion took ce ripping off the roof and tearing down the building itself, the reason for this is said to be a legendary trainer who was offended by the gym leader so he destroyed the whole gym, our news reporter has informed us that the gym leader is now hospitalized, our news reporter also informed us that the explosion caused at the Kanto abandoned power nt is also rted to the legendary trainer who is rumored to have battled the legendary pokemon Zapdos inside causing the disappearance of the whole site". Julian couldn''t believe his eyes as started to sweat seeing the power of media he knows that what they said in the news were just some story made up by the main head but if they knew how right they were they would just chock on their food Oak "Hahahaha, Julian looks like you have be a celebrity who would have thought that just defeating a gym would cause such a ruckles" Suddenly the main door opened and Daisy stepped in carrying a big lunch bag with her, Julian turned his head and saw her as he admired how beautiful she was, Daisy also noticed Julian staring at her as she smiled as she also stole some nce at Julian''s handsome face. Oak "Oh, Daisy why did it take so long for you toe, Julian and I were starving" Daisy "Sorry grandpa, Julian, Gary suddenly called home informing that he might arrive back in one or two weeks so I gotte as I was talking to him" Oak "Oh Gary ising back, well looks like we are going to have a reunion pretty soon" Daisy then looked at the TV where the host was talking about the legendary trainer Host "Who is this mysterious legendary trainer, whats his purpose of visiting Kanto, we will keep our viewers updated as soon as we receive more information about the legendary trainer as for now I am your host Sally form Kanto-Today" Daisy "Did you hear about it grandpa, who do you think it is I am also very curious about this person who could destroy a gym" Professor Oak smiled and looked at Julian asking him what to do, Julian quickly put up a Cross sigh with his hands indicating not to tell anything about it to Daisy Oak "I don''t know but I would like to meet this person as well" Daisy "I hope I can meet him one day and see his pokemons, how they are groomed and became so powerful" Oak "Sure you will, but first lets have our lunch Julian is waiting" Daisy suddenly realized that Julian was also in the room and felt embarrassed for forgetting about him Daisy "Julian, Grandpa wash your hands ande outside I will start preparing for lunch and I will be joining as well" Oak "You didn''t eat?" Daisy "No, I wanted to eat with you guys and I also wanted to see Julian''s pokemons and see how they are doing,st time I saw them they were so healthy" Professor Oak walked away to wash his hands after hearing her then she suddenly heard Julian talk Julian "Ah, it looks like you are more interested in my pokemons than me, I feel defeated" Daisy "No that''s not what I meant, I was also excited to meet yo-" Daisy suddenly started to stutter due to embarrassment as she was about toplete the following sentence luckily for her Professor Oak has already gone away so he didn''t hear anything. Julian "Haha, don''t worry I was just teasing you" Daisy looked at Julian as if she was angry at him for pulling such an act but inside she felt happy that Julian cared a little about her. Daisy "Hmf, yes I only wanted to see your pokemons and not you" She turned around and showed it as if she is angry and went outside near the bench in the backyard to prepare for lunch, Julian was smiling seeing this he knew she is just acting and didn''t mean those words she just said. Julian ''She looks really cute when she looks angry'' Julian also walks away to wash his hands, after doing that he arrives at the backyard and see Daisy has already ced most of the dishes down on the bench, he also saw his Pokemons are back and are now ying with Daisy Daisy "Wow Infernape your fur is so shiny, and your muscles are strong as well,st time I saw you, you were so small, Venusaur look at you all big and mighty and you guys must be his other pokemons, nice to meet all of you" Then she saw Heatran and Kabutops and was very surprised as she had never seen these pokemons, she then heard footsteps as she saw Julianing towards them. Julian "They seem to really like you" Daisy "Of course I n to be the best pokemon groomer so I should be able to befriend any pokemon" Julian "I am impressed" Daisy felt happy after hearing Julian, then she looked at Julian with eyes filled with curiosity Daisy "Are those two also your pokemons" Julian "Yes, those two are Heatran and Kabutops, Heatran can be found in depth of volcanos and are very strong as for Kabutops he was revived from a fossil" Julian didn''t tell all the information about Heatran as he didn''t think it was necessary and he didn''t like to brag about his pokemons so he kept it simple. Daisy "Wow, a pokemon that lives in a volcano and another one is a fossil" Daisy was really excited to see them as she started to examine both of them, Professor Oak also arrived and saw his granddaughter with Julian''s pokemon and smiled. Soon they started to eat and had some conversion as the day went by in a sh. Chapter 55 - Mewtwos Call It''s been one week since Julian arrived back to pallet town and he is leaving his days peacefully, training his pokemons and himself together with them, he has also grown close to Daisy in this past week. Julian ''Man, this peace will be over in just a few days, maybe even tomorrow or today'' ?? Julian was outside theb making food for his Snox and other pokemons, suddenly he hears somethinging towards him at full speed, he turns around and sees a Dragonite flying towards him at full speed, as itnds in front of Julian it gives him a square shaped te with a ss crystal in the middle and an envelope, Julian first looks at Dragonite and sees a bag hanging on its shoulder filled with cards. Julian ''Looks like Mewtwo had started his n'' Julian looks back at the te as a hologram appears on it disying a figure of a woman dressed in brown fully covering every part of her body except her face Woman "Please forgive the urgency of this letter, You have been acknowledged as a promising Pokemon trainer, so the strongest pokemon trainer, my master, has invited you to a party" Suddenly the hologram changes into a map disying a route with red lines. Woman "This map shows the direction to reach the pokemon castle on New Ind, please check the reply card whether you may attend or not, the strongest pokemon trainer greatly desires your attendance" Julian opened the envelope and saw a card with two checkboxes named Yes and No Julian ''I don''t know how stupid people are to go to this ce after receiving such an anonymous message, I might understand if Ash''s was to go there but there are more people going'' Julian just shook his head and took out a pen from his pouch and checked the Yes box and gave it to Dragonite Julian ''Even though I say this I have to go there and see if everything goes right, I will only interfere if things didn''t go as per anime'' As Dragonite flew away, Mew suddenly appeared out of nowhere and sat on Julian''s shoulder and looked at the hologram map projected on the te, Julian looked at Mew as he was surprised by the sudden appearance Julian "We are going to visit an acquaintance pretty soon so I hope you don''t cause trouble when we reach there" Mew looked at Julian tilting his head then nodded as he floated towards his pokemons to greet them Julian ''I should get ready to head out'' Julian walked inside and saw that the TV was on and the news channel Kanto Today was on it, this time it was a different host Host "The Gym in Viridian city waspletely rebuilt three days ago as the gym leader is still not present, our reporter has gathered information that he has put someone else in his ce till hees back no one knows where the gym leader is, people in the city are saying that he feels ashamed of his behavior towards the mysterious legendary trainer so he went away to repent himself" Hearing the nonsense that is still going viral in Kanto and other regions Julian didn''t know what he should do but to keep quiet and hide from the media, I switched off the TV and walked towards his room, after is finished pacing some new coats for himself he is ready to head off towards the New Ind, as he walks out he sees Professor Oak with Daisy, Daisy is wearing a dress and looks like she is heading somewhere, Julian walks towards them to see what''s going on. Julian "Daisy are you going somewhere?" Daisy "Yes I am going to the Hoenn region as I was called to be the assistant of the world famous pokemon groomer who will be residing there to further he studies and I will be helping her" Julian "That''s great I hope you have a great time in Hoenn and learn more about pokemon grooming" Daisy blushes, in the past few days she has be close to Julian and has developed a slight crush, now seeing him supporting her like this made her feel very happy. Julian "By the way Professor Oak I will be going out for 2-4 days but I am not sure if I will return under those days" Oak "Where are you going?" Julian "To meet an acquaintance" Oak "Ok have a safe trip" Julian "Daisye I will drop you at the seaport" Daisy "Thankyou" Julian "Wait here I will bring my bike" Julian walks away to bring his bike while Daisy and Professor Oak talks for a while, Julianes back with his bike and signals Daisy to sit behind him, she climbs onto the bike carefully as it''s her first time riding one. Julian "Hold on tight" Julian starts the bike and drives away as Daisy holds him tightly, after a long ride they finally reach the port, they arrive right on time as Daisy''s ship is about to sail in an hour. Julian "Take care of your self" Daisy "You too" She walks away but suddenly turns around. Daisy "Will youe to Hoenn someday?" Julian "Don''t worry I will, as soon as I arrive there I will tell you but it will take a long time for me to go there so you have to wait for me." Daisy "I''ll wait" She smiles and walks away leaving Julian alone. Julian ''She is the second one who makes me feel like this, I hope Chloe is doing alright even though our time was short she really left a deep impact. Chloe, Daisy don''t worry I will make both of you mine'' Julian sighs as he sees Daisy''s figure disappear from his sights Julian ''Now I have to go towards Old Shore Wharf, most of the trainers will be there, should I take the ferry, no the weather is going to be altered by Mewtwo I should ride Gyarados, I will arrive there prettyte, from pallet town to Old Shore Wharf is going to take me at least two days, Mewtwo would have already started his n, now that I think about it Garry didn''t go there, well its better that way he must have just ignored that message thinking it''s fraud, it''s not surprising as he is very arrogant'' Julian walks towards the sea and calls out Gyarados, he is still wearing that Tungsten headgear with the mega stone on it, Professor Oak as given the Keystone permanently to Julian as he finished doing his research on it. Julian "Buddy we are going on a trip, let''s go" Gyarados bows down a little as Julian jumps on him as Gyarados dashes towards the direction Julian pointed. It''s night time already and Julian and his pokemons are in a remote Ind as they finished training before going to sleep, Gyarados also went for his adventures and Kabutops following him as they find suitable opponents to battle, if not they would spar with each other but Gyarados would always win but Kabutops never felt disappointed as it was just normal training and they where like family. The next day Julian continued his journey as he rode Gyarados very early in the morning, as he was heading Mew also tagged along as he was dangling on Julian''s neck while ying with his hair or he would go in front of Gyarados and look at the Mega stone with sparkling eyes, Julian justugh at Mew seeing it childish and cute behaviour but he also knows under this cute and cuddly pokemon lies a force that could destroy multiple cities with ease. Every pokemon had the capability to destroy cities but they wouldn''t as it was their home but they should never be taken lightly. As Julian was still very far from reaching the Old Shore, the storm started brooming, the clouds became dark as it started to rain, huge waves started forming as the sea was in chaos, Mew who was sleeping on Julian''s shoulder suddenly woke up as he sensed two simr presence, one was Mewtwo and other was one of its own kind, a Mew. Julian "You sense them don''t you, both Mew and Mewtwo" Mew just nods it''s head as it stares at Julian with eyes filled with sparkle, it now saw Julian as much more of a mysterious person, first it saw Julian surrounded by Omniforce which even he can''t use, Mew had tried to read Julian''s thoughts many times but it failed as he couldn''t get inside as he was blocked byrge amount of Omniforce and now he saw Julian predicting the future, he knew Julian is a very special person and he will always experience fun by following him. Chapter 56 - Revival As the storm bes stronger and stronger Julian is getting close to Old Shore Wharf, Gyarados crashes through the huge waves as Julian holds onto him tightly, Mew, on the other hand, is enjoying this ride, Julian frowns seeing that the storm seems to be more powerful than what they showed in the anime, the waves are bigger than what he had anticipated. Julian ''Looks like Mewtwo has gotten more efficient at controlling its power to cause such a huge storm'' ?? Julian is fully drenched from the rain and the waves of the sea, as they get near their destination Julian sees an empty harbor and two figures standing on it and few people behind them who were hesitating to get in the water. Julian ''From what I know they must be officer Jenny and the Harbordy that showed up in the movie and it looks like I amte I don''t see Ash anywhere'' Julian thought of this situation and frowned Julian ''I should cover my face as I don''t want another news going wild and this time with my face all over the inte, I don''t know if this is going to happen but it better to be prepared for the situation then face it afterward'' He looks down and saw his Gyarados Julian ''Another problem is Gyarados as he is pretty different from any other of his kind and people who have seen him can easily recognize him and figure out who I am as well, what should I do?'' Julian started to think of a n. Julian ''Should I make him Mega evolve, Only Professor Oak has seen Gyarados mega evolved form and people won''t recognize him'' Julian thought about it for a second Julian ''Should I really mega evolve him? though mega evolving him in front of people might be a risk if he appears before them mega evolved from the start they would think Gyarados is some rare pokemon, well this is the only situation to escape from the media'' Julian [Gyarados slow down a little I need to change my clothes and its time for you to Mega Evolve] Julian takes out a ck long coat with a hood attached to it and wears it (like the one in Assassin''s Creed Syndicate), then he took a ck mask which covered half of his face. Julian "Gyarados MEGA EVOLVE" Mew who was hanging upside down as its tail was wrapped on Julian''s neck became curious after seeing Julian taking out the Keystone locket out from his vest, then it got startled as it saw it glow as the Mega stone on Gyarados head also started glowing, soon Gyarados Mega evolved as he became 12 meters tall, his horns grew bigger and his fangs also became longer. This was its first time seeing a mega evolution, even though Mew follows Julian around it is not always on Julian''s side so it had not seen Gyarados mega evolve before, now Gyarados mega evolved it became excited and went in front of Gyarados it check him out. Julian "Like what you see?" Mew nods its head happily Julian "Mew can you do a favor for me?" Mew looks at Julian and nods its head saying that it would help Julian. Julian "Great I want you to make all the Pokedex of those trainers malfunction when they try to check Gyarados, can you do that?" Mew nods its head listening to Julian as this is a very easy job for it. As Julian arrived near the harbor as people on the harbor saw him, it was very easy to notice him now as a huge red and ck pokemon and a man standing on top of it was a very eye-catching sight. Some trainers saw him and started to talk about him and some even started to take pictures of him. Trainer 1 "Hey look at that what kind of pokemon is that?" Trainer 2 "That Pokemon is so big, what the heck is that thing?" Trainer 3 "Hey look someone is standing on top of it" Trainer 4"Hey why isn''t my Pokedex working" Trainer 5"Mine too, what''s happening?" Soon everybody started talking about him and his Gyarados, Mew has already gone invisible so no one saw it, Officer Jenny became tensed as she saw this personing she was a cautious person so she was on full alert. Jenny "Who are you, what''s your purpose?" Julian "Are all the trainers who have arrived here still present here" Julian wanted to confirm if Ash had arrived here or not so he had to ask this question Jenny "No few trainers didn''t take my warning and has already left for the ind with their pokemon" Hearing this Julian knew that he waste Julian ''Looks like I amte, well I can''t me myself as I came from pallet town'' Julian "Listen to me, don''t allow anyone to go to that Ind it''s dangerous I will go there to bring back the ones who have left" Jenny "Who are you?" Julian didn''t answer as he instructed Gyarados to go towards the ind, seeing Julian not wanting to answer her Jenny started to do her duty and started to restrict trainers from going there, even though she doubted this man who said her it was dangerous she didn''t want to take any risk and did what he said. Julian sighed as he went away from the harbor. Julian ''As expected people would go wild seeing someoneing, even though using mega evolve created more chaos but a huge red Gyarados would also have the same result on the plus side my identity is still a secret as only Professor Oak knows about it'' As Julian came near the New Ind he started to hear huge boom sounds and cries of pokemon, Mew once again appeared on his shoulder as it also heard the noiseing from the ind. When Julian came near the ind he saw a huge battlefield and many pokemons battling each other, he also saw Ash and his friends with Team Rocket trio and other people on the side watching this cruel fight, He looked up and saw a Mew fighting with Mewtwo as both of them were pretty equal and no one was gaining the upper hand. Mew who was on Julian''s shoulder was watching the Mew and Mewtwo fight as it was about to interfere but suddenly Julian stopped it by shaking his head. Julian "I know how you feel, you think that Mewtwo shouldn''t exist but now its already a living being and it has the right to live so you should not take it''s right away from it, let it fight and realize its mistake if anything serious happens I will interfere" Mew looked at Julian for a second and went back on Julian''s shoulder watching the fight. The other Mew and Mewtwo''s fight started to get more destructive as they threw their attacks which went all over the ce hitting structures and making them fall. Julian looked down and saw the original pokemons fighting with their clones as they started to fall down slowly one by one after getting tired, both Mew and Mewtwo went back to the ground and continued their fight. Ash who saw this cruel fight which had no motive and only suffering became very emotional and charged between both Mew''s and Mewtwo''s attack Ash "Stop" Brock "ASHHHH" Ash "Just stop already, STOP" Ashes between two powerful psychic attacks and suddenly freezes on the spot, as he falls on the ground and turns into a stone, Pikachues running towards him and tries to wake him up, it doesn''t work so he starts to zap ash but it still useless, seeing his method not working he started to cry and tries to wake Ash who ispletely turned into a statue, seeing this all the pokemons in the battlefield also started to cry. Julian who is seeing this is mesmerized, he knew that this was like same from the anime but seeing it in real life is a very different experience, he could have easily stopped this by just attacking Mewtwo but he did not as Ash''s this sacrifice was a key point to make Mewtwo realize that it was a leaving being as well and not just a human experiment. As the pokemons started to cry their tears started to flow towards Ash, the umtion of all these glowing tears revived Ash after a while. Julian was very surprised by seeing this, he knew the oue, he is a person who has reincarnated but revival is also a very mysterious phenomenon. Julian "Revival, who would have thought that sorrow of pokemons and their tears could revive a person if they want to" Mew who was sitting on his shoulder also nods as it looks at the newly revived Ash with an excited gaze. The sky brightens as dark clouds start to disappear. Mewtwo and Mew who were fighting all along had also stopped after seeing this event, Mewtwo hade to a realization, as the two looked at each other they finally noticed a foreign presence, they were very busy in their battle that they didn''t notice it before but now that everything was clear they noticed it. When they both turned around they saw a huge Red and Back color Pokemon with a man standing on top wearing a mask which covered his face and a Mew sitting on his shoulder which was smiling as it looked at them, both Mew and Mewtwo were surprised as they didn''t expect an another Mew to appear. The Mew which was battling Mewtwo approached Mew who was sitting on Julian shoulder as they greeted each other. Mewtwo was also very curious about this Mew then it suddenly realized something, this Mew''s presence was familiar to it, it remembered the time at the Viridian Gym when it regained its consciousness it was assaulted by an overwhelming pressure and it was from this Mew itself. Mewtwo became cautious as it realized that this Mew is something it cannot defeat, then it looked at Julian and recognized this person as well. Mewtwo [I remember you, you are the one whose pokemon I had fought] Julian "Look at you, you have be much better at controlling your powers" Seeing Mewtwo is talking with someone every person who is in the battlefield turns around to see a man standing on a huge pokemon Brock "Who is that?" Misty "I don''t know" Everyone gets curious after seeing this man hidden behind his attire. The team rocket trio is no exception. Jessie "Hey look at that pokemon, what is it?" James "I don''t know but it looks very powerful" Jessie "We should bring it back to the boss and we will be rich" Meowth "Are you idiots out of your mind, look at that thing you think even if we are in our monster robot we will be smaller than it, there is no way we can capture it so shut your mouths and listen" James "Now that I think about it Meowth is right I don''t want anything to do with that thing" Mewtwo looks at Julian with cautiousness as it doesn''t know what he wants. Mewtwo [What do you want?] Julian "Nothing I just wanted to see if you are going to cause trouble or not, now that I see that you have finally realized what you are my work is over here I will be going" Mewtwo [Wait, why did you free me that day, what was your perpose] Julian "You were just a puppet when I saw you, a weapon which could destroy the world and you being in the hands of that man would surely lead to a world-ending disaster so I freed you, I had no purpose, to me you are just a pokemon even though you are stronger than others you can still be defeated, that man was just blind and think headed and doesn''t understand how it really works, the second reason is that I felt pity for you being born to be just a weapon for that man so I freed you that''s all there is to it, by the way, what did you do to your creators? just curious you no" Mewtwo [I destroyed the ce where I was created with them inside, I don''t know what happened to them] Julian "They are either dead or disable, nothing to my concern, now that you are free just live normally and don''t cause trouble or I will have to bring you down" Mewtwo suddenly sent a powerful Psychic Beam towards Julian, but Julian just stared at it with no reaction, Gyarados suddenly opened its mouth and sent a Hyper Beam which easily deflected the Psychic Beam pushed it back as Mewtwo quickly moved out of the way, the Hyper Beam went through the Ind andnded on the water causing it to separate into two and join again. Julian "You still are not strong enough to face me, even though your psychic powers are strong it''s useless when you battle me" Saying this Julian went away leaving Mewtwo behind as it turned back and saw the destruction caused by that Hyper Beam, half of the Ind was cut right in the middle. Mewtwo and the others watch as Julian goes away followed by a Mew as it waves its hands and says it goodbye to its new friend Mew. Ash and the others were in awe as they saw this powerful attack. Ash "Someday I will be as strong as him" Misty "Ya in your dreams" Ash "What did you say?" Brock "Calm down you two, it''s not the time to fight" The team rocket trio where also very shocked as their jaws where hanging Meowth "Look at that, haha... It''s good that I said that we should not mess with it or we would have been toasted" James/Jessie "You are right" Mewtwo looks at Mew and talks to it Mewtwo [It''s true that you are a pokemon who exist just like I do and the same goes to them] Mew nods as both of them look down to see the pokemons. Mewtwo [It might be best if no one knew about this incident, It might be best to forget about it] Mew "Meee" Suddenly the cloned pokemons started to levitate as they fly away into the sky following Mew and Mewtwo. Ash "Where are all of you going?" Mewtwo [We were born, we''re alive, we''ll go on living in this world... somewhere] As Mew, Mewtwo and other cloned pokemons disappear into the sky, Ash and the people and in the ind suddenly get engulfed by a white light as they forget everything about what happened and gets teleported back to Old Shore Harbor. Julian who saw everything from very far away smiles after seeing this and goes back towards the Harbor but this time he changes his clothes and sends Gyarados back to his Pokeball, he hides away from the crowd and watches them. Julian ''Looks like everyone has forgotten about this incident and the reason for there visit here, but they didn''t forget about me and are still talking'' Julian sighs as he quickly escapes from there as he doesn''t want the Ash brat to see him. Chapter 57 - Electabuzz Vs Gary Julian is back to Pallet town again as he isid back on a chair enjoying the sun near theke, his pokemons are doing their usual training in form of a game. Julian ''Such a peaceful day nothing to worry about, no world-threatening pokemon going on a rampage, no stinky little brats who are always on your face, just me and my pokemons chilling, I wish this could go on forever but this will onlyst for a day as those two brats will arrive and cause trouble'' ?? Julian sighs as he knows his peaceful days are about toe to an end. The day goes away and the next day arrives, Julian is outside training Elecabuzz so that he gains full control over his powers before he evolves into Electivire, as he continues his training session with his Electabuzz but suddenly he hears a voiceing from behind. Gary "Brother Julian" Julian turns around to see Gary who is waving his hand towards him, Julian sighs as he knew from now on he will be troubled daily by this brat. Julian "Gary, I see that you are back" Gary "I just arrived today, where is Grandpa?" Julian "he went to Viridian forest, there are some rare pokemon sitings there" Gary looks at Electabuzz who is currently sitting and channeling his electricity in his hands and all over the body to gainplete control over it, he is just a step away fromplete control. Gary "Wow is that your Electabuzz" Julian "Yes" Julian just wants to be left alone right now even though he doesn''t hate Gary, he gets very annoyed by him so he is currently thinking of a way to drive him away. Julian "So what do you want" Gary "I know a pokemon battle" Julian looks at Gray with a questioning look then continued Julian "You are still not ready" Gary "Howe, I have won 11 badges, I think even you don''t have 11 badges like me" He said with a smug on his face Julian ''11 badges? Ah, I get it since he didn''t face Giovanni and Mewtwo he actually won against the temporary Viridian gym leader, He has also grown cockier'' Julian "11 badges have nothing to do with it I just know you are not strong enough to battle me" Gary "Brother Julian are you scared to battle with me?" Gary has be more annoying to Julian after he said that so Julian decided to humiliate him. Julian ''Look at this cheeky bastard, he hasn''t even grown hair there and acting cocky and arrogant in front of me, let me show you how arrogance truly is'' Julian "Look at you so confident of yourself, ok I ept your challenge but first, you have to defeat my Electabuzz if you defeat him I will battle you properly and I will also give you a handicap you can use as many of your pokemons to battle him" Garry "Ha, I don''t need to use many pokemons, one is enough" Julian shook his head in disappointment and walked towards Electabuzz. Julian "Electabuzz take care of this" Electabuzz opened his eyes and saw Gary smirking at him, he had heard what Gary said to Julian even though Electabuzz was not the strongest of Julian''s pokemon he was the most arrogant one of them all, seeing just a small brat taking smack to his master really pissed him off, he even thought that this brat was lucky that Julian''s other pokemons where all in their pokeballs or he would have been toasted. Electabuzz walked forward and came in front of Gary, Julian went back to his chair and covered his face with a piece of cloth and went to sleep, he already knew the oue so he was not interested in seeing it. Gary looked at Julian and was pissed but he couldn''t do anything so he decided to defeat his Electabuzz first. Gary "Electabuzz ha, even though you look strong I could easily defeat you, Go Nidoking" Gary''s Nidoking entered the battle at stared at Electabuzz. Gary "Since Electabuzz is an electric type it moves are useless against my Nidoking, Nidoking this will be an easy battle" Electabuzz looked at Nidoking and put on a smug face and looked down on Nidoking as if it wasn''t even an ant in front of him, Nidoking, of course, noticed it and became furious but it didn''t stop there as Electabuzz continued to taunt it. Electabuzz [Hey, look at you, you weak little bug, I bet your trainer didn''t feed you properly] Electabuzz''s insult hit Nidoking really hard and it became furious and was ready to charge at any moment. Gary noticed the change in temper in his Nidoking. Gary "Nidoking don''t listen to him, use Mega Horn" Nidoking was still angry and dashed towards Electabuzz using Mega Horn, Electabuzz just smirked at Nidoking who was dashing towards him. As Nidoking came near him Electabuzz just moved aside a little and delivered a powerful Ice Punch to Nidoking right on its stomach and sent it flying back then crashing on the ground fainted. Gary was shocked, he couldn''t believe that Nidoking one of his strongest pokemon was blown away with just a single move, he called back Nidoking in frustration and looked at Electabuzz who signaled him to send out his next pokemon, he then looked at Julian to see him sleeping without any care, he knew that he became overconfident and looked down on his opponent he became serious and sent out his next pokemon. Gary "Hmm, you just defeated one of my pokemons, the next one isn''t going to be so easy, Go Kadabra" Electabuzz was still smug as ever and looked down on Kadabra. Gary "Use Psychic to lift Electabuzz and smash him on the ground" Kadabra used Psychic as Electabuzz slowly started to float off the ground but he didn''t even flinched and used thunder and the next moment the surrounding became dark and a bolt of huge lightning assaulted Kadabra causing it to faint on the spot as the electricity was still sparkling on its body. Gary froze as he saw his Kadabra being defeated in one move again, he didn''t know which pokemon he could use to defeat Electabuzz now he was stuck in a dilemma. Then he suddenly heard a voice behind him. Oak "Gary you should stop, you are still too far from even putting a scratch on Electabuzz" Gary turned around to see his Grandfather Professor Oak. Gary "Grandpa" Oak "You should go back to theb and ce your pokemons inside I will treat them back to full health, I know you are disappointed after losing so badly but loosing is also a good experience and will help you temper yourself and you shouldn''t disturb Julian now as he always sleeps this time of the day if he has nothing to do" Gary nods and goes back inside theb, Professor Oak shakes his head seeing Gary, he knows that Gary was too spoiled so he didn''t mind Julian''s harsh method on Gary, he believed it will help him a little. Oak "Electabuzz here these are some berries I picked up in the Viridian forest when Julian wakes up to give it to him" Electabuzz nods and epts the barriers as he watches Professor Oak walk back to theb. Chapter 58 - The Spilled Coffee. Julian wakes up from his long afternoon nap and stretches his arms as he sees Electabuzz trying out his electric moves with great control over it, Julian nods seeing this he had already anticipated Electabuzz to fully grasp control over his electrical element. Julian ''I should give him the electirizer tomorrow, he should practice a little more before evolving'' ?? Julian gets off from his chair and walks towards Electabuzz. Julian "You should take a little rest, for now, you can continue onter" Electabuzz nods his head and gives him the berries Professor Oak gave him a while ago. Julian "Berries, wait these are Sitrus Berries, looks like professor oak found something really good" He sent Electabuzz back to his Pokeball and went inside to find Professor Oak and Gary having some tea. Oak "Oh, Julian want some tea" Julian "No thanks, you know that I am a coffee person" Oak "Haha I forgot" Julian "I will go and prepare one for myself" Julian walks in the kitchen to make himself some coffee to find a bunch of berries in a basket Julian ''look at these some Pecha berries and Rawst berries, why did he bring so many back from the forest, maybe for some weird experiment purpose'' Julian proceeds to make coffee as he hears a m at the door and some voices after that, Julian sighs after hearing this voice, it was Ash, Brock, and Misty who just arrived. Julian ''He arrived earlier than expected, well no matter what he is as annoying as Gary'' Julian finishes making his coffee and exits the kitchen to see Gary and Ash arguing among themselves, Julian tries to walk away pretending he didn''t notice them but for god sake, Brock had to open his mouth. Brock "Julian what are you doing here" Julian "I stay here" Brock/Misty "Huh?" Oak "Julian is just like my assistant who helps me around theb taking care of the pokemons living here and sometimes helps me in my research" Brock "Oh, that why he is so much knowledge about pokemons, Professor Oak can I also take care of the pokemons here while I am at it, you see I aim to be a pokemon breeder so this can be counted as a good experience for me" Oak "Julian what do you think?" Julian "I don''t mind, it will also help remove some load off my shoulders" Julian takes his seat near the TV and sips his coffee andpletely ignoring all the drama going behind him. Ash and Gray start to argue about who is the better trainer between them as Professor Oak takes them towards theb''s pokemon storage room where they continue their mindless argument and finally decides to finish it with a battle. They alle out of the pokemon storage room and head towards the field to start their battle where they suddenly get interrupted by the team rocket clowns, Julian who sipping his cup of coffee suddenly felt a huge explosion causing him to startle and spill his coffee, he froze on the spot as he watched the coffee slowly dripping down the table and off his clothes. Julian ''THEY ARE GOING TO PAY'' Julianes out of theb and looks coldly at Team Rocket as they were busy introducing themselves. Gary/Oak "Wait is that a talking Meowth?" Meowth "What you folks looking at, quickly grab that Pikachu and we are out of here" But suddenly they hear a cold voice suddenly sending chills down their spine. Julian "Hey you clowns, what are you doing here, don''t you know this is private property?" All three of them turn around to see Julian who is looking at them with cold eyes, they never felt so much scared in their lifetime just by seeing someone''s eyes, they felt as if they were not even considered insects in front of these eyes. Ash and others were also terrified by seeing Julian like this, only professor Oak was smiling warily as he saw stain of coffee on Julian''s clothes, he has seen this before and knew how terrifying Julian be if he gets pissed of especially when you spill his coffee, now he felt sorry for those three people. Julian "You actually dare to barge in private property and upon that, cause me to spill my coffee, looks like you fools are tired of living?" The Team Rocket Trio were shivering in fear as they looked at Julian Meowth "Hee....ey guys don''t you think we have se.....seen this guy somewhere?" James "Ev....even if we did I....I don''t w....want to remember" Jessie "Sa...sa....same here" Julian looked at them coldly and took out a Pokeball and tossed it up in the air and Gengar came out and looked at the surroundings, he saw that people where terrified and three of them were about to piss their pants, then he looked at Julian and understood that his master was pissed andughed at the misfortune of those three who were on their knees. Julian "Gengar use Bad Dream, then Dream Eater" Gengar justughed and attacked Meowth, Jessie, and James with the following moves causing them to be mindless zombies as they suffered from scary dreams then suddenly assaulted by Dream Eater caused them to be mindless people. Julian "Dark Pulse" Gengar finished it off and sent them flying as he went back inside theb followed by Gengar behind him. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Gary were still scared from the sight they witnessed just now but they escaped their trance when Professor Oak started to talk. Oak "I think you guys should not battle, Julian really gets pissed when his coffee gets spilled and when he is pissed it not a good time to do anything but to stay quiet until he calms down. All of them together "WE UNDERSTAND" Oak "Shhhhhhh" Oak quickly quiets them down as they sweat down thinking if they pissed of Julian again, seeing that Julian didn''te out they sighed in relief. Ash "Thank God we got to know about this thing now, imagine if future if anyone of us spilled his coffee?" As all of them thought about it, it sent chills down their spine. Misty "Let''s forget about it, Ashe lets go to your house we should stay there instead" Brock "Yes you are right, lets go Ash" They both run away followed by Ash as Professor Oak and Gary are left behind alone in the field. The day went by silently as Julian calmed down as Professor Oak prepared another cup of coffee for him. Julian was now in his room on hisputer looking at Indigo teau where the league will be held within a month from now on. Julian "Ha, I hope this month will be peaceful without anyone interfering with my precious time" Julian switches of hisputer as he heads of to sleep. Chapter 59 - Indigo Plateau One month has gone by and Julian is now heading towards the Indigo teau as he reaches near the Victory Raod he sees a crowd of people cing gs and banners to wee the torch which is used to light the me in the stadium which indicates the start of the pokemon league. Julian drives pass them as he doesn''t want to waste time and quickly reach Indigo teau and register himself in the league, after traveling for more than an hour he finally reaches Indigo teau as he heads towards the stadium to check it out. ?? As he enters the stadium he sees a huge battlefield bigger than the once he has seen in the gyms across the region, the stadium is also very big, Julian is really surprised at how big the stadium actually is. Julian ''The stadium here is made quite extravagant, the stadiums of my previous world are nothingpared to this'' Julian looks at the big torch which is still not lighted and smiles. Julian ''I want to see what the elite four have to offer, but the biggest question is who is the current champion of the Indigo league, he was never specified in the anime will it be Blue but I don''t think it is possible as Gray acts as the counterpart of him in the anime, Lance is still a member of the elite four and he bes the Champion of the Jhoto League so he is also out of the question'' Julian wonders about it for sometime then puts it in back of his mind. Julian ''Well whoever it is, he or she should not be disappointing'' Julian walks out of the stadium and heads towards the Pokemon vige where all the trainers who will participate in the league will stay with few people who they bring along with them when he reaches there he sees many trainers interacting with their pokemons, some of them are practicing and some of them are challenging each other, he also got challenged by one or two but he just ignored them and walked towards the nearest center rest for a while. When he entered the center he saw Nurse Joy and he knew her very well she is Sara, the one who he had spent a few nights with, Sara was also surprised to see a familiar face. Julian "Sara you should be busy these days, it would be very troublesome for you because of the league" Sara "Ah, Julian its good to see you again and yes it is very tiring these days and my workload will increase further after the league starts" Julian "I see" Julian nods as he looks at Sara and notices a ring on her ring finger as he bes surprised. Julian "Did you get engaged?" Julian had no feeling for her, their rtionship was based on benefiting from each other they where just sex friends but he was really surprised seeing a ring on her hand. Sara "Yes, I got engaged and guess who could it be?" Julian "I don''t know, I am not a seer to know everything" Then suddenly hears another voice behind him. Jenny "It''s me" He turns around to see Officer Jenny his another sex friend as shees closer and kisses Julian, then she also shes her ring to Julian. Julian bes dumbfounded seeing this. Julian "Wait, you two got engaged?" Sara "Yes after you left I and Jenny got pretty close and fell in love with each other so we decided to marry" Jenny "But you don''t have to worry, you can still enjoy us if you want" Jenny is still flirty as ever as Sara Joy blushes hearing her and nods her head in agreement, Julian was really surprised by this event he had never imagined that his two sex friends with fall in love with each other and marry but he felt happy for them from his heart. Julian "Wow I didn''t expect this at all but I congratte both of you, I am happy for you" Jenny "We will be happier if you spent a night with us but it''s not possible due to the league going on right darling?" Sara nods blushing, then she talks in a low voice. Sara "But tonight we are free" Julian is surprised by hearing Sara, he knew she was very shy when talking about this matters but now she willingly spoke out, he turns to look at Jenny as he knows the culprit behind it, Jenny has spoiled Sara very much, Jenny justughs embarrassingly as she saw Julian looking at her and shaking his head. Jenny "Well it isn''t a bad idea, hey Julian join us tonight please" Julian "Ok if you say so, but first I will go and register myself" Julian epts it, even though they are married now they both are still his sex friends and he doesn''t mind having some fun time before the league starts. Jenny "Yaaaa, this is our rooms key card, we will be waiting for you" Julian takes the Key card and walks out of the center to go and register himself, he enters a building where he finds lots of trainers registering themselves for the league, there are numerous receptionists across the hall who are helping the trainers register for the league. Julian walks towards ady receptionist who has no trainer right now in front of her, he walks up to her with a smile, seeing a handsome maning towards her she quickly tidies her clothes and greets Julian Reception Lady "Hello, wee to the pokemon vige, are you here to register yourself for the pokemon league?" Julian "Yes, can this prettydy help he with that?" The Receptiondy blushes to hear Julian call her pretty. Reception Lady "Of course right away, can I have your trainer ID" Julian gives her his card and waits for thedy to finish her job. Reception Lady "Here all done" Julian "Thank you, can I know which battlefield will I be battling and with whom" Receptiondy "Here press this button, it will automatically select a battlefield between Water, Grass, rock, and Ice and a trainer for you to battle against with, once you win in all different types of battlefields you will be qualified in the top 16 and then you will be able to battle in the Indigo Stadium" Julian presses the button as the highlight box start to move around the four types on battlefield icon and finally stops at Grass, then it automatically selects a random trainer named n. Reception Lady "Here you go, your first battle will be in the Grass Battlefield against n tomorrow at 2 pm, be there on time" Julian "Thanks I will be going" Julian takes his ID and walks away from there as thedy is still mesmerized by his looks. After spending his time walking around the town and grooming his pokemons for a while he finally heads towards Jenny and Sara''s room, as he enters he is greeted by them wearing sexy lingerie as they spend the whole night having fun as Jenny and Joy''s loud moans are confined inside their room without anyone noticing. Next day Julian wakes up fresh as he was pleased by yesterday night, they both had be very good at pleasuring so he enjoyed it very much, he gets up from the bed to see that both of them have already left for their work, he cleans himself and wears his favorite ck long coat and dress and heads towards the Indigo Stadium where all the trainers are gathering. When he arrives there he sees Ash holding the torch and running towards the staircase which leads to the giant torch at the top of the Stadium, he hands it over to ady who is waiting there as she continues to run towards the top, as she is about to reach the top two people dressed in white interferes and takes the torch away from her, seeing this Julian frowns as he knew who they where. Julian ''Man, these clowns are annoying than a spoiled child crying in a store'' He decides to ignore everything as he goes and sits near a bench as he doesn''t want to interfere with anything. Team rocket lights up the huge torch then they lift it up from its ce using a huge Metapod robot and ce it on its back, Ash being Ash tries to fight with them to get the torch back and gets his ass whooped as Team Rocket try to burn him using the mes. (A/N - Even though Pokemon is meant for kids, this scene is really bizarre, try imagining someone trying to burn a 10-year-old kid alive [The dark side of Pokemon]) Luckily for him suddenly a Moltres appear out of nowhere from the mes and sts of team rocket and takes torch back to its original ce and lights it up and disappears. Julian looks at the mes burning as he goes and joins the group of trainers so that the opening ceremony can take ce. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen the opening ceremony will now continue, here is president Goodshow to greet ourpetitors" Julian then looks at a tiny man with a white beard who is standing on a tform. Goodshow "Wee one and all this event is a very special event where those who truly love pokemonse topete, Here the torch where the mes of Moltres burns brightly to light up our hearts and spirits, battle valiantly and keep this fire alive in your hearts and spirits" Julian ''What a cliche speech'' As Charles Goodshow finishes his speech the crowd''s shout and cheers as the pokemon league begins. Julian walks away out of the stadium as he waits for his match to start since he has the time he decided to see Gary''s and Ash''s battle as they are before his. While he was going to the ice type battlefield to see Gary''s match he sees his first round opponent n surrounded by reporters and from what he could listen, this guy n was one of the fan favorites as he has once reached top 16 in the previous Indigo league, Julian didn''t even mind him as he walked past him, when n saw Julian walk pass him he recognized Julian as his opponent for round one. n "Hey, scared before our match even started, you don''t even have the guts to have eye contact with me" Julian just ignored him and treated his as air as he continued to walk forward, seeing Julian not giving him any attention n became pissed. n "Ha, I knew it trainers like you are just a disgrace to professional trainers like us" Julian stopped and looked at this n who was bbering nonsense. Julian "Just shut up and mind your own business, you don''t even deserve to lick my shoes, you should feel lucky that I was kind enough to talk to an insect like you" Saying this Julian just walks away leaving behind a trembling n who is furious right now as he has never been insulted like this in his life. The reporters who were near the scene quickly recorded the confrontation between Julian and n. Julian didn''t want to say this at all but hearing n talk nonsense he simply exchanged some few words and left. The reporters who have filmed the full confrontation started to talk about this situation live in their TVwork. Professor Oak who was sitting in hisb watching the TV spilled his coffee after hearing Julian''s response, Delia who was sitting beside him was also surprised by his answer. Delia "Oh my" Oak "Haha, that typical Julian even though he is very kind and helps everyone, sometimes he gets really harsh with his words if someone talks bullshit and nonsense towards him" Delia "I didn''t expect that" Oak "Delia you don''t have to worry, he is just like that to strangers, he won''t be harsh to people who know him" Delia "That''s a relief" Back to Julian, he is sitting in the audience as he watches Gary enter the Ice battlefield to face his opponent, Gary who sees Julian hase to watch his match bes determined as he starts his battle, the battle goes well as Gary wins with only one of his pokemon getting defeated. Julian nods his head to see that Gary is very well focused during his battles, next he goes to see Ash''s battle, Ash defeats his opponents first pokemon using his inexperienced Krabby which evolves into Kingler which defeats the next two pokemon as well allowing Ash to have a clean sweep by using only his Kingler. Julian ''That Kingler must have been a strong wild one to defeat its opponent so easily, even though Ash never trained it, well he is stupid if he had trained it properly he would have won this battle even faster, and not to mention his luck is also of the charts today his opponent is really an idiot even though he was so hyped in the anime'' After seeing Ash''s battle which took only 15 minutes, giving him more 45 minutes till his battle he decided to go towards the Grass Battlefield waiting room and meditate for a bit. Chapter 60 - Round One Outside the Grass battlefield crowd of people are gathering to watch the next battle which is going to take ce next inside it, some of them where n''s fans who were carrying his banner, only a few people knew who n''s opponent was most of them had already started to ce bets on n just because he was a top 16 in the previous tournament, he also had some fangirls cheering for him. People who paid to watch this battle were slowly entering the battlefield as they started to sit on specter seats as they waited for the trainers to enter. ?? Gary also arrived with his huge cheering harem girls to see this match and he soon saw Ash with Brock and Misty also entering the battlefield''s specter area. Gary "He, Ashy-boy I saw your match, who would have thought you would be so lucky and face a weak opponent in your first match" Ash was as always pissed of hearing Gary''s remark but he had nothing to say, Misty came to his rescue. Misty "Gary are you also going to watch Julian''s match?" Gary "Of course I am, he is one of the few people I look up to how can I miss him showing his dominance today" Ash "I heard this n guy is pretty strong, he was a top 16 in the previous league, who do you think is gonna win?" Gary "Ha, this n guy is nothingpared to Julian, look how easily he swipes him away in this match" Gary had always been an arrogant brat and he still is, but after his battle with Julian''s Electabuzz, he realized how big of a gap is there between him and Julian this made him take Julian as his role model and one day try to beat him. Ash, Brock, and Misty were surprised by Gary''s confidence on Julian, they were not the only one few people who were beside them also got interested in Julian, most of them here where n''s fansing here to cheer for him now seeing that a random kid is talking nonsense about n they ridiculed Gary for his dumbness. Gary "If you don''t want a seat then stay here, I am going,e on girls lets go" Ash "Hey wait for us" Ash, Brock, and Misty followed Gary and his harem inside the battlefield building. Julian was sitting in the waiting room as he kept his mind calm while meditating, as he started to hear cheers outside he knew it was time, he slowly got up and dusted his coat as he left the waiting room. Julian is now standing behind a door which leads to the grass battlefield and his first tournament match, he was feeling a rush in his blood vessel as his heart started to beat faster, he started to feel excitement, even though Julian had experience of two life he was still new to this feeling of hundreds of people watching him, pokemon trainers who make it big where like superstars in the pokemon world and so every trainer wanted to be big so they can be famous in the eyes ofmoners and other trainers. Julian ''Well this is a new feeling, and I kinda like it'' As Julian was waiting for his turn to enter he heard the announcer start to speak. Announcer "The fourth match in the grass battlefield will begin now, let''s introduce our participants, First representing the green corner is n he is a very experienced pokemon trainer and had been in the top 16 in the previous Indigo league" The crowd erupt in cheers as n enters the battlefield waving his hand at the crowd, his fans in the crowd raises his banner high in the air and shout his name, many of his female fans start to confess to him from the crowd screaming I love you n, Please marry me, and other stupid stuff. Announcer "Haha looks like n is a fan favorite this time, now let''s introduce his opponent, nothing is known about this trainer and it''s his first time participating in the Indigo league, representing the red corner Julian" The crowd waits, as the door of the red corner slowly opens as Julian slowly walks out of the door and stares directly at n putting an invisible pressure on him. The crowd is stunned for a second to see such a handsome man entering the battlefield and after a second they also burst into cheers as some of them who are not a fan of n start to take his side, the women in the crowd are already mesmerized by his looks and a few of them even switched sides. Brock who was trying to flirt with ady saw how the reaction of the girls changed after Julian entered made him feel jealous. Brock *starts to tear down* "This is not fair" n who suddenly felt an immense invisible pressure on him after he made eye contact with Julian started to grit his teeth, he remembered the humiliation he faced outside today and he wanted revenge now. Referee "This will be a three vs three pokemon match, the trainers are allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, the person who will have all three of his pokemon unable to battle will lose and get eliminated out of the tournament." Referee "Green corner, ready?" n "Yes" Referee "Red corner, ready?" Julian nods his head indicating he is ready. Referee "Then let''s begin, both trainers bring out your pokemons" Julian "Go Venusaur" n "Go Arcanine" Announcer "Looks like the two pokemons starting the battle are Venusaur and Arcanine, n here has a clear advantage over Julian, let''s see what will happen" n "You are already at a disadvantage, see how I humiliate you" Julian "We will see about that, Venusaur use Earthquake" Venusaur stands on his two back legs and then brings down his two front legs down with full force causing a tremor to run through the battlefield shaking everything around and causing the grass field to show cracks which approached Arcanine who was struggling to keep its bnce. n "Arcanine Jump" Julian "Hmpf, So predictable, Venusaur manipte the grass and tie Arcanine up" n "What?, No Arcanine dodge it quickly" He was very unlucky as Arcanine was still in air limiting its movement and soon Venusaur wrapped up Arcanine withyers andyers of grass and pinning it to the ground and restricting its movement, Arcanine was now just as fish on a chopping board, it could not use fire to burn down as every part of Arcanine body was tightly wrapped up not allowing it to move even a muscles and if tried the grass would start to constrict it, Arcanine was helpless lying on the ground. Announcer "Look at that Venusaur haspletely tied up Arcanine, it is rendered helpless looks like this is over" The crowd waspletely silent seeing the first exchange between was about to end just in a matter of seconds, they also realized how formidable Julian was, Gary had a smirk on his face seeing this and Ash was super impressed as his desire to battle Julian grew. Julian "Venusaur finish it, Sr Beam" Venusaur charged up a powerful Sr Beam and sent it towards the helpless Arcanine which was tied up on the ground, the Sr Beam hit and it was over as the smoke cleared Arcanine has already fainted. Referee "Arcanine is unable to battle Venusaur wins" Announcer "Just as predicted Arcanine is defeated, let''s see which Pokemon will n going to use next" The crowd burst into cheers after the announcement, they started to talk about Julian as he became the talk of the day just within a minute. n gritted his teeth seeing his Arcanine being defeated so easily, he finally understood that Julian is not someone who he could defeat but he doesn''t want to give up. n "Go Fearow" Announcer "n has sent out Fearow, likest time Julian is at a disadvantage, let''s see what Julian will do" n "Use Air Cutter" Julian "Counter with Razor Leaves" Both Pokemon send out their attacks, Venusaur''s Razor Leaf is huge and powerful while Fearow''s Air cutter is fast and sharp, they sh in the air sending shock waves everywhere as the people in the crowd cover them self with their hands to protect themselves from the shock wave. Julian "Venusaur finish this, Use Giga Drain" n is rmed by Julian''s move, the smoke from the previous attack is still present limiting Fearow''s vision. n "Fearow dive down, use Arial Ace" Julian ''Ha, what an idiot'' Julian "Venusaur now Leaf Storm" As Fearow dived down to attack with and Arial Ace it never expected to be suddenly trapped in a huge Leaf Storm which was continuously causing damaged to it as it struggled to fly as the leaves inside the storm was continuously assaulting Fearow. n was in a pinch and didn''t know how to escape from this, just a little movement from Fearow and it would be assaulted by sharp leaves over and over again. Announcer "Amazing, Julian fake called out Giga Drain to bring Fearow in a perfect ambush position and used Leaf storm to trap it, what will happen to it will the same fate as Arcanine waits for Fearow?" Julian "It''s over, Giga Drain" Venusaur suddenly sent his vine towards Fearow which is trapped inside the Leaf Storm, the vines wrap hold of Fearow and drain all the energy from it and let it go causing Fearow to fall down from the sky to the ground rendering it unable to battle. Referee "Fearow is unable to battle, Venusaur wins" Announcer "As we expected Fearow also bites to dust, will n make aeback? will he be able to defeat Julian''s Venusaur?" n was now in a pinch, he had never expected that he would be eliminated in the first round itself. n ''Looks like I have to use my strongest Pokemon, I need to at least take out one of his pokemon before getting eliminated'' n "Let''s see how you will do against my strongest pokemon, Go Charizard" Announcer "n''s final Pokemon is Charizard, and again n had a great advantage against Julian, but seeing the previous battles the oue can not be determined easily" A big Charizard enters the battlefield as it roars and stares at Venusaur. Julian ''A Charizard huh? let''s see how strong it really is'' n "Charizard take the sky then use methrower" Julian "Venusaur activate Overgrow, then counter it with energy ball" Venusaur activated Sword Dance increasing his attack power thenunched a gigantic energy ball which easily countered the iing methrower, the impact of these moves was bigger than thest battle, the specter area was quickly protected by ayer of forcefield which activated preventing the specters from getting hurt. n didn''t want to waste this chance and wanted to use this as a distraction to attack Venusaur, unlucky for him Julian''s mind was always on the battlefield, this was a trait he had gained from his past life. n "Charizard now Wing Attack" Venusaur "Trap it using Leaf Storm" As Charizard dived down as its wings glowed to deliver a Wing Attack to Venusaur it suddenly found itself being surrounded by thousands or razor-sharp leaves revolving around it, as it was trapped inside the leaf storm, the leaf attacked Charizard but where only causing little damage. Announcer "Looks like Julian is nning to do the same as he did to Fearow" n "You think the same move is gonna work on us again" Julian "Who said it the same move, Venusaur now Poison powder" Venusaur suddenly released arge amount of Poison powder in the air which was all sucked inside the Leaf Storm and it didn''t take long as Charizard got poisoned heavily, Poison powder mostly spreads all over the ce and only a little amount of it attacks the pokemon but Julian used Leaf Storm to concentrate all the Poison powder in one spot and the unlucky victim Charizard was heavily poisoned due to this. Charizard couldn''t take it anymore as the overdose of the poison made it weak as it crashed on the ground. Announcer "What just happened? Julian actually used Leaf Storm to manipte Poison Power to poison Charizard, looks like Charizards fate is sealed as well" n "CHARIZARD?" Charizard struggled to get up, it was really poisoned badly Julian "Venusaur, finish it use Venoshock" Venusaur sent waves of Venoshock towards the struggling Charizard and it couldn''t take it anymore the already badly poisoned Charizard received double the amount of damage from Venoshock as it crashed on the ground fainted. Referee "Charizard is unable to battle, Venusaur wins, the match is over Julian wins" Announcer "Its over, Julian triumphed over n just using his Venusaur" The crowd burst into cheers seeing Julian''s win, many even started to make preparation to make a fan club for him, the inte also started to blow up discussing Julian''s match. Announcer "Looks like there is a new crowd favorite" Gary, Ash, Brock, and Misty were also excited to see Julian win. Brock "As expected Julian always keeps his whole concentration on the battlefield, every single detail is noted by him and when he has the chance to utilize them he doesn''t miss at all, battling against Julian is like getting trapped in a spider web, every action his opponent makes gets himself tangled in it more and more, you can only wish for you luck to help you if you get trapped in the web weaved by Julian" Ash just listens to Brock as he bes determined that he will train harder and one day he will battle Julian. Gary is also going through the same thought process as Ash, then Brock continues. Brock "Ash, if youe to face Julian in a battle what will you do?" Ash "I know I won''t stand a chance against him but I will give it my best" Ash says with his voice filled with determination, Gary looks at Ash and admires Ash''s determination. Gary "Ha, you won''t be even able to get past the qualification rounds forget about battling with Brother Julian" Ash "What did you say?" Ash was fuming over Gary as they exchanged some word leading in Ash''s defeat. Julian was now being interviewed by some TV reporters. Reporter 1 "Julian how do you feel about your first victory?" Julian "I feel great" Reporter 2 "For what I see you are a very experienced trainer, what is the advice you want to give to young trainers?" Julian "A pokemon battle is not just about how strong a pokemon is, it also depends on the trainer to guide their pokemon to victory so a trainer should always be concentrated in his battle and guide his pokemon through it" Reporter "What is your goal, are you aiming for top 16 and higher in the league?" Julian "Something like that, thank you I will be going then I need to get some rest" Julian walks of ignoring all the other questions asked by the reporters as he enters the waiting room to rest for a little. Chapter 61 - Pokemons Power Level Julian walks into the waiting room and sits down as he can still hear the crowd cheering outside. Julian ''I don''t think I will face a single decent opponent in this league, the elite four is the best option to battle for me right now'' ?? Julian calms his mind as he thinks about his current pokemons.

Julian ''All of them are looking great, in the past two months the training they did have really helped them, the most who advanced is Snox, who would have thought that he had so much power lying dormant inside him after training he raised in power so much, I don''t know if it''s even fair if I use his against an elite four they will getpletely annihted, upon that he has not reached his limit yet'' Every time Julian thinks of Snox he feels lucky that he was able to capture it without any resistance. Julian then leaves the grass battleground escaping from the cameras and eyes of the TV reporters and people as he arrives in his room and decide to rest for the day. Chapter 62 - I Will Only Use Pidgeot! Next day Julian woke up early so that he can go and see who is gonna be his next opponent and the type of battlefield he will be fighting in. He went to the ce where he checked in yesterday, he walked in to see that the ce is filled with trainers even though it''s early, he walks towards a receptionist and checks in himself. ?? Julian "Who is going to be my next opponent?" Julian asks and presses the button as theputer starts to generate the battlefield and an opponent for his next battle, as the selection box stops it disys Rock type battlefield and his opponent is ady named Kassandra. Receptionist "You match will be at 1 pm at the rock battle stadium, hope you be there in time" Julian "Sure" Julian walks out and finds himself in front of Ash and his friends, Julian sighs at his misfortune but he doesn''t disy it on his face. Ash "Hey Julian" Ash calls and waves his hand to gain Julian''s attention, Julian has no choice to look at him. Julian "Hey Ash how are you?" Ash "I am fine, By the way, I saw your battle yesterday, you were so awesome and your Venusaur was also soooooo strong, I couldn''t believe you could defeat your opponent so easily..." Julian ''Man this Kid talks too much, when is he gonna stop?'' Julian waits patiently until Ash finishes his talking. Ash "...and so I wanted to ask you, could we have a pokemon battle?" Julian ''He really doesn''t quit does he, even though he knows he is not gonna win, well he is the main character and was made to be like this I cannot change him even if I wanted to'' Julian "If we are able to meet inside the battlefield while facing each other then only will I battle you, so try to at least enter top 16" Julian then looks at his Pikachu and pats him. Julian ''This Pikachu was kept by Professor Oak and didn''t let it out much often, I always wondered why is this Pikachu so strong even though it doesn''t seem much different from the others'' Julian "You have a very unique Pikachu here, I hope you take great care of him" Julian rubs Pikachu''s cheeks and walks away leaving Ash and his friends staring at his back. Brock "Ash, let''s go and check in yourself so that you can know who you are battling next" Ash "Ya lets go" They run off towards the registration hall to check themselves in for today as they walk near the receptionist they see ady with dark purple hair looking at her next battle opponent, seeing her opponent on the screen, Ash recognizes him. Ash "Its Julian" Thedy who was looking at the screen turn around to see Ash looking at her opponent in the screen and walks towards him, Brock who sees this beautifuldy walking towards them goes on his usual flirty mood and wees her to bepletely ignored by her then he is dragged away by Misty. Kassandra "Hey my name is Kassandra, do you perhaps know my next opponent personally?" Ash "Hello my name is Ash and this is my buddy Pikachu" Misty "I am Misty" Brock "And you can call me Brocky if you want" Ash "Yes, I know Julian, we live in the same town" Kassandra "Oh then can you tell me about him?" Ash "Julian is really strong, I once saw his Gengar which was also super strong and you might know about yesterdays match right how Julian''s Venusaur wiped the floor single-handedly" Misty "Hey Ash what are you doing you cannot tell other people about other''s information, are you out of your mind?" Ash "Ahh, I am sorry I forgot" Kassandra "No, No I am sorry I should have not asked about this stuff, I was just curious about my opponent that''s all, I will take my leave" Kassandra walks away leaving Ash and his friends behind. Misty "Look what you did, smart ass, you just gave away information about Julian''s team how can you be this stupid?" Ash put his head down in embarrassment. Brock "Misty lets not take it far, and even if she knew about Julian''s two pokemon that doesn''t mean she is gonna win" Misty "I guess you are right" Brock "Ash lets go and look who is your next opponent" Ash and his friends do their work while Kassandra Julian''s next opponent is sitting in a restaurant and thinking about her strategy on how to face Julian. Kassandra ''My next opponent is not something I can take on lightly, I have to give it my all to defeat him, all I know about him is that he has a Venusaur and a Gengar, I cannot just make a fighting strategy based on only this much, I have to find something else'' As Kassandra was thinking what to do, she saw her next opponent walking inside the restaurant in a casual manner. Julian walks towards the counter and orders something to eat, he pays and then takes a sit near a window with his food, as he was about to eat he hears a voice. Kassandra "May I sit here?" Julian turns around to see ady and it was none other than his next opponent Kassandra, seeing her he nods his head indicating her to sit. Kassandra "You must be Julian, I am your next opponent, it must be a coincidence for us to meet here?" Julian "It sure is, then how can I help you, Miss Kassandra" Kassandra "I just wanted to talk to my next opponent, that''s all nothing else" Julian "Ah, I see you are here to get some information from me, well then I will tell it to you" Kassandra bes serious after hearing Julian, she never thought that she was going to be seen through so easily but what surprised her, even more, was that he said he will reveal his strategy to her. Julian "Well you see Miss Kassandra, I will only use my Pidgeot in the battle, if you are able to defeat my Pidgeot I will surrender my self and quit from the battle, making it your win" Julian says this and stares at her eyes, Kassandra gets dumbfounded by Julian''s answer but she started to feel a weird sensation as if she is getting trapped in something even though she doesn''t know what it is, she looks at Julian''s crimson red eyes and feels as if she is a pray being targeted by a predator but her mind is thinking something else. Kassandra ''Is he joking, does he think that I will not be a match him, he is only going to use his Pidgeot, that''s bullshit, he is just trying to trick me into thinking it, does he take me for a fool to believe that, just you wait I will defeat you in our battle'' Kassandra gets up angrily and walks away as Julian enjoys his meal. Julian ''Well I said her what I will do, I don''t know if she is going to take the advice or not'' Julian resumes his meal as he waits for time to pass for his next battle. Chapter 63 - Round Two Julian is now waiting in the waiting room inside the rock battle stadium as he waits for his call, he can hear the voice of crowd screaming outside and waiting for the battle to begin. The Announcer starts to talk as he introduces thepetitors, hearing his queue Julian gets up and walks towards the gate leading to the battlefield. ?? Announcer "Today in the second day of the Indigo league qualifying round and taking ce in this very stadium are two of the most popr contestant the fans specte to enter the top 16 and above, Introducing first, she is from the cdon city and an old face in the league, she had participated in thest Indigo league and was in the top 8, making her way into the battlefield is Kassandra" Kassandra walks into the battlefield and waves her hand at the crowd as she takes her ce on the battlefield and waits for Julian. Announcer "Next contestant is a neer to the Indigo league and had shocked everyone in his match yesterday by defeating n one of the fan favorite with just one pokemon, give it up for Julian" Julian walks into the battlefield as he hears the crowd cheering for him, he takes his ce on the battlefield and waits for the referee''s call to start the battle. Referee "This will be a three vs three pokemon match, the trainers are allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, the person who will have all three of his pokemon unable to battle will lose and get eliminated out of the tournament" The Referee looks at Kassandra then at Julian. Referee "Trainer Kassandra, are you ready?" Kassandra "Yes" Referee "Trainer Julian, ready?" Julian nods his head in agreement. Referee "Then let the battle begin" Kassandra "Go Sandsh" Kassandra sends out a Sandsh, seeing this Julian gets dumbfounded at her choice. Julian ''Is she stupid, even though she should not trust the words I said, she should not ignore it also, who would have thought she would make such a rash decision, even though I had expected the possibility of this scenario but it was only 15%, well this battle is going to quick'' Julian "Go Pidgeot" Kassandra ''What he sent Pidgeot just like he said, I actually sent Sandsh to fight without even thinking, Ahhhh, I see he said it on purpose so that I will get angry and make a rash decision, how could I fall for such a trick, I was too angry to think it clearly at that time, what do I do?'' Julian looks at Kassandra and couldn''t help but sigh. Julian ''Looks like she got really angry at my words and now seeing me use Pidgeot, she is having a mental breakdown, well its better for me an easy victory and I can go and rest for the day'' Announcer "Oh, look at this Kassandra is at a really big disadvantage, her Sandsh is a ground type and its ground type moves will have zero effect on Julian''s Pidgeot, looks like this battle is going to be over before it even started" Julian "Pidgeot use Air Cutter" While Kassandra is thinking what to do Julian already made his moves as Pidgeot sent out numerous Air Cutter at Sandsh and each and everyonended on Sandsh as Kassandra was not focusing at all, Sandsh was hurt badly, one Air Cutter could be handled but numerous Air Cutter would leave any pokemon in a bad state. Announcer "Those Air Cutters where really powerful, looks like Sandsh has very little chance, what will Kassandra do in such a tight situation" Seeing her Sandsh being hurt Kassandra came back to her senses as she started to focus on the battle. Kassandra ''I should focus on the battle or I will just fall into his trap just the way he wanted, I will not let this happen'' Kassandra "Sandsh hang in there, use Stone Edge" Sandsh ms the ground asrge rock rises up from the ground and targets Pidgeot who is flying low to the ground. Julian "Pidgeot use Quick Attack while gliding between those rocks" Pidgeot''s body glows white as his speed increases as he glides between those rocks created from Stone Edge and hits Sandsh with super speed and sends it rolling on the ground. Kassandra "Quickly use that momentum and use Rollout" Sandsh who was sent rolling on the ground quickly rolls up into a ball and performs a Rollout and heads towards Pidgeot with astonishing speed Announcer "Look at this Sandsh used the momentum from Pidgeot''s quick attack and used it as its own" Julian "Now use Sand Attack to make Sandsh lose sight of you" Pidgeot gets close to the ground and starts to beat his wings rapidly making sand fly everywhere as he blends into it and disappears from everyone''s sight. Sandsh goes into the cloud of sand to hit nothing as it returns back to its normal posture as it looks for Pidgeot left and right. Announcer "Pidgeot has disappeared inside the could of sand, what is Julian nning to do?" Kassandra "Sandsh, concentrate don''t panic" Julian "Finish this, Steel Wing" Pidgeot suddenly appears behind Sandsh and delivers a crushing Steel Wind sending it crashing into a rock pir of the battlefield as it faints from the impact. Referee "Sandsh is unable to battle, Pidgeot wins" Announcer "It''s over Sandsh bits the dust, now let''s see which pokemon will Kassandra send to face Julian" Kassandra ''What do I do, should I send an electric type to fight that Pidgeot, but what if this is also his n and he switches his pokemon or is he making me think like this so that I will send another pokemon which has a disadvantage against his Pidgeot, I don''t know what to do? I am falling deeper and deeper into his n even though I am aware of it'' Seeing Kassandra frustrated Julian knew that it was already over, there is nothing Kassandra could do to go against him. Julian ''Human psychology, what a weird phenomenon, they just make it so difficult for themselves even though everything is so clear in front of them, they always make everythingplicated making them fall deeper and deeper into such a state'' Referee "Trainer Kassandra, send out your next pokemon or are you going to forfeit?" Kassandra "No, I will battle, go Rhydon" Announcer "Kassandra has chosen Rhydon, It has resistance to flying type attacks putting it in advantage against Pidgeot but will this help? we know from previous experience Julian always seems to have a backup for everything, we will only know what will happen as we see the battle" Kassandra "Rhydon use Rock st" Julian "Dodge" Pidgeot easily dodges the iing small rocks by adjusting his wings and tail to stair in midair. Julian "Air sh" Pidgeot sends a huge de shaped like a crescent moon, as it passes through the air towards Rhydon is hums indicating its sheer sharpness and it won''t be pleasant to take it head-on. Kassandra "Use Hammer Arm to deflect it" Rhydon waits for the Air sh toe near it and delivers a Hammer Arm right on top of it making it explode and sending shockwaves everywhere. Julian "Sky Attack" Before Rhydon and Kassandra could realize it Pidgeot was already in front of Rhydon and delivered a powerful Sky Attack which sent it crashing to the ground, even though flying type moves are weak against Rhydon, Pidgeot''s attack power was way above Rhydon''s capacity and causing damage. Kassandra "Rhydon, quickly get up" Julian "Twister" Pidgeot pped his wings vigorously as the wind started to get stronger and stronger forming a raging tornado which starts to rip and break the rock pirs in the battlefield as it heads towards the struggling Rhydon, as the twister get close it picks up Rhydon from the ground and traps it inside it and spins it around inside it. Announcer "Look at that Twister, it is destroying everything and it even traped Rhydon inside it, looks like Rhydon''s all hopes are lost" Kassandra "RHYDON" Julian "Finish it, ride the twister and use Steel Wing" Pidgeot flies into the raging twister as his speed increases by the second as he finally finishes it with a Steel Wing causing Rhydon to be thrown out of the raging Twister and mming onto a Rock Piller which was still standing. Referee "Rhydon is unable to battle, Pidgeot wins" Announcer "Who would have thought that Pidgeot would ride the Twister to deliver the final blow. Kassandra grits her teeth as she looks at Julian and his pokemon, she really wished she didn''t talk to him before their battle. Kassandra ''This is really bad, why did I have to talk to him, if only I didn''t I could have put a decent match, I know that I wouldn''t have won even if I didn''t talk to him but now it''s just me making it more difficult for myself'' Kassandra is frustrated at the oue, she had never performed so badly in a battle. she starts to go through everything that happened today, then she finally realizes Kassandra "What was I doing, I was so focused on figuring out how to get out of Julian''s trap that Ipletely forgot the most important thing, Ipletely abandoned my pokemons, I didn''t even notice things that were so clear, it doesn''t matter what type of pokemon he uses, it depends on the trainer to guide their pokemon through this tough situation, Julian is also doing just that, he easily defeated my Rhydon using his Pidgeot which clearly had the disadvantage, he guided his pokemon and avoided it from getting into a tough spot, that''s it I know what to do I just have to battle like I normally do and show him I am not just some trainer who will fall for his scheme" Kassandra''s mood changes in a second and from frustration it changes into a determined look, Julian who is always watching every change in the surroundings also notice the changes in Kassandra and bes surprised. Julian ''Who would have thought that she would realize it so quickly, this is a pokemon battle where both pokemons and trainers need to be one in a battle, she was so busy thinking what I will do that shepletely abandoned her pokemons in the battlefield, but now it looks like she realized it, it looks like I have to put a little bit of effort now'' Kassandra looks at Julian with eyes full of determination, now she wants to battle with full concentration then she sees a smile on Julian face. Kassandra ''He knew it from the start that I was frustrated and even now he knows that I have realized my mistake, what a scary guy, you want a good battle don''t you, then so be it'' Kassandra "Go Jolteon" Announcer "Kassandra''s final pokemon is Jolteon, let''s see what tricks it got up its sleeve" Kassandra "Jolteon use Thunderbolt" Jolteon charges up and sends a cracking Thunderbolt towards Pidgeot. Julian "Dodge" Pidgeot evades the Thunderbolt easily as he moves away from his previous ce by gliding away. Kassandra "No you don''t, Jolteon use Discharge" Jolteon sends out cracking lightning everywhere but they were still no use as Pidgeot evades each and everyone as he glides swiftly left, right, up and down. Julian "Quick Attack" Pidgeot dives down towards Jolteon with super speed to finish it off. Kassandra "Meet it head-on, Wild Charge" As both get closer and closer towards each other Pidgeot suddenly slides away from the side by turning his body and avoid a direct collision as Jolteon goes and hits a rock boulder causing it to shatter into pieces. Julian "Air Cutter" Kassandra "Jolteon counter with Swift" Jolteon quickly changes its direction and sends multiple swifts to counter the iing Air Cutters as it cause several explosion and shockwaves. Julian "Air sh" Suddenly a huge crescent de tears through the smoke and dashes towards Jolteon and delivers a sessful hit sending it rolling on the ground. Julian "Finish it Sky Attack" Pidgeot dives down, arge amount of energy cover Pidgeot''s body and this time Pidgeot''s intention is to finish it. Kassandra "Jolteon don''t give up, jump and grab onto Pidgeot" When Pidgeot reaches near Jolteon, it jumps andnds on Pidgeot''s back and grabs on to it tightly. Announcer "Jolteon has gotten hold of Pidgeot, this may be bad for Pidgeot" Julian "Pidgeot fly up" Pidgeot sores into the sky while Jolteon is still holding his back. Kassandra "Now Thunderbolt" Jolteon zaps Pidgeot as they still continue to fly straight up towards the sky. Julian "Use quick attack to speed up" Pidgeot uses quick attack as his speed increases as they reach very high up into the sky, Jolteon''s start to feel uneasy due tock of oxygen, it is used to the amount of oxygen on the ground now being suddenly exposed to less oxygen causes it to feel dizzy. Julian [Now Spin] Julian send a telepathic message as they are too high to shout out moves, Pidgeot suddenly starts to spin as he folds his wings inwards and Jolteon loses its grip and starts to fall down. Julian [Finish this, Brave Bird] Pidgeot rises high as he spread his winds and his body starts to glow blue and dives down and meets Jolteon falling, Pidgeot smashes into Jolteon''s body and dives down pushing Jolteon to the ground, as they reach the ground Jolteon gets nted deep and next followed by an explosion causing the rock battlefield to shatter like ss, the smoke rises high up to the sky as blinds everyone''s vision, the ground tremors as the referee struggles to keep his bnce. Announcer "What a devastating Brave Bird, it has sent tremors everywhere looks like its over" As the smoke clear everybody could see a Pidgeot hovering above the ground and Jolteon nted into the groundedpletely fainted. Referee "Jolteon is unable to battle, Pidgeot wins making the winner of this match Julian" The silence in the battlefield is broken as the crowd blows up into cheers. Announcer "What an awesome battle, and Julian has done it again, just using a single pokemon to defeat his opponent" Kassandra walks towards her unconscious Jolteon and kneels down to lift it up. Kassandra "Thankyou Jolteon for giving such a great battle" As she hugged her Jolteon she heard Julian''s voice. Julian "I didn''t think you would be able to pull that out but it looks like I was wrong" Julian walks towards her and extends his hand, seeing this Kassandra takes his hand and gets up and looks at Julian. Kassandra "Next time I will defeat you" Julian "I will be waiting" He says this and walks away leaving Kassandra with her Jolteon as the crowd is still cheering him on. Chapter 64 - Top Sixteen Julian''s third round was a water type battlefield and his opponent was some rookie trainer and he sweeps him away using Venusaur, his fourth round was in the ice battlefield and his opponent was an experienced trainer who had a really strong Nidoqueen, but Julian''s Venusaur also swept his entire team single-handedly, leaving Julian the only trainer to use only a single pokemon to enter the top 16. Julian was now walking towards the Indigo Stadium as they will announce the Top 16 name to have a battle inside the stadium, even though everyone knew who have been qualified it was like a ceremony to represent the top 16. ?? Top 16 of a league was a very precious title as trainers who entered in this list can be ssified as the strongest pokemon trainers documented in the registry of pokemon trainers after the elite-four, the champion and above all the Pokemon Master, there might be other trainers who are stronger but if they are not registered they are not recognized. (A/N - I did some research and found out that just being a champion of a league doesn''t mean the trainer has be a pokemon master, the creators of the Pokemon franchise has always kept the detail of Pokemon master a mystery, we only know that a pokemon master is way stronger than a regions champion but to what level no one knows. Even though my research might not be hundred percent legit, I will keep it that way in this novel.) Julian entered the Indigo teau Stadium and saw 15 trainers standing before the Moltres torch, as Julian entered the crowd cheered for him, he was one of the most voted trainers to win the league by the fans, the other trainers looked at Julian and each of them had a different expression on their face, only they knew what was going inside their mind, Julian ignored those stares and joined the group of trainers in front of the Moltres''s me. Then a short old man with a long white beard walked in front of them, this was the president of the League Competition Committee, Charles Goodshow. He walked in front of the Moltres me then turned around to look at the 16 trainers in front of him as he nods in approval. Goodshow "I congratte all 16 of you as you have defeated many opponents to reach here remember this, even if you fail, be proud of your self as you have gone through many difficult battles to reach here so don''t give up on your ambitions just because you might lose, well now that this is over lets announce the names of the trainers who are in the top 16" Adyes up towards the tform with a card in her hand with the league''s symbol and stands next to Goodshow. Goodshow "You may proceed" Thedy nods and starts to talk. Lady "The trainers that are represented as the strongest 16 trainers of this year''s Indigo league are Andrew, Ash, Assunta, B, Daniel, Felci, Jacob, Julian, Kurt, Melissa, Pablo, Ritchie, Suzy, Tansy, Van, Zoe" The naming ceremony goes on and the sixteen trainers are given a special badge. Goodshow "Let''s hope all of you will put on a great battle, now you all should go towards the registration area to find out your next opponent" All the trainers leave the Stadium as the final top 16 will start tomorrow. Julian doesn''t waste time and nither the other trainers as they go to the registration area where they previously checked in for the preliminaries. Julian walks towards a receptionist. Julian "How will they select my next opponent" Receptionist "That water tank right there is filled with Magikarp and you have to fish one out, the Magikarp you fish will have a letter and a number simr to your opponent, hence the number which matches your Magikarp will be your opponent" Julian nods as he receives a fishing rod, he reels down the fishing line as he waits for a Magikarp to grab it on, he doesn''t have to wait much longer as a Magikarp grab on to it as he reels it in, the Magicarpes out of the water tank with N-12 written on it. Receptionist "N-12, wait a moment" She enters the information in theputer and it disys a picture of his next opponent. Receptionist "Your next opponent is Van, it will be the second match tomorrow, be there on time" Julian walks away from there and goes towards his room, he sits down in front of aputer as he looks up the recent information about Van. Julian ''Van, won hisst battles by using only two pokemon and every other battle he had, he has already reviled his five pokemons, them being stoise, Beedrill, Arbok, Nails, and Machoke, the remaining are unknown, tomorrows battle will be a three on three as it is only top 16 so I should finish it quickly, lets see if this Van has an element of surprise up his sleeves'' Julian turns off theputer and goes out to have lunch, on his way to the restaurant he sees a screen which is currently disying the battle card of the league on it, he stops and takes a quick look of it. { Andrew VS Pablo Julian VS Van Ash VS Ritchie Assunta VS Daniel } Tomorrow { B VS Melissa Felci VS Jacob Kurt VS Tansy Suzy VS Zoe } Day After Tomorrow. After seeing the battle card he continues to go towards the restaurant, as he starts to eat his lunch but he is again interrupted but this time it''s Ash, Misty, and Brock and they are with their new friend Ritchie. Ash "Julian, it looks like our battle is right after yours, we will defetny cheer for you" Julian "Thanks" Julian then looks at Ritchie and it hits him. Julian ''Isn''t this fellow Ash''splete rip-off, with the same pokemons that Ash has?'' Ash "So what are you doing here?" Julian looks at Ash with a questioning look. Julian ''Can''t he see that I am having my lunch, he is really dense'' Misty ps Ash''s back head and shows him Julian food, seeing that Ashugh awkwardly. Ritchie "Hi I am Ritchie, I can''t believe I am talking to you, I became your fan after watching you battle" Julian just nods his head and continues eating, the atmosphere turns awkwardly silent so Mistyes forth and drags everyone away leaving Julian alone, Julian did this on purpose so that he doesn''t get bombarded with questions while he is eating. The day goes on as night falls and a new day begins, Julian is currently inside the waiting room as he watches the ongoing battle between Andrew and Pablo, they are having a very furious battle as the crowd cheers for them, the atmosphere inside the waiting room isplete silence as Ritchie and Assunta are concentrating on the ongoing battle, Julian looks at them then goes back to meditation to clear his mind as he waits for his call. The battle between Andrew and Pablo is finally over as Andrewes on top after going all out with his reon and wins the battle against Pablo''s Weezing, Julian just opened his eyes once to look at the winner as he closed them again and minded his own business, soon an hour passed as the battlefield was patched up and fixed and Julian received his call, he got up and soon walked towards the gate as he entered the battlefield the crowd weed him as they shout his name. Soon his opponent Van also enters as he also receives the same crowd reaction, Julian and Van look at each other as their eyes lock onto each other. Chapter 65 - Undefeated Van looks at Julian with zing eyes, from his expression Julian could easily tell that this Van is a battle freak so Julian decided to y along with Van a little. Van "So we finally meet, I was really waiting to battle you from the moment I saw your battle in the preliminaries" ?? Julian just looks and doesn''t say anything because he has nothing to say, Julian only heard Van''s name yesterday because he was his opponent, he didn''t even know the trainers in the top 16 except Ash, Ritchie, and Melissa who defeated Gary in his fourth preliminary round. Seeing Julian being mute and not answering back Van also gave up, he had observed that Julian didn''t speak much during his other battles as well, Van also didn''t mind it as he continued to talk. Van "I am going to defeat you and every other opponent and win this league" Julian ''Well he looks very confident, should I break it, I really hope he can put up a fight'' Julian doesn''t reply again as he waits for the match to start. Announcer "Today''s second match is now going to begin, our first battle of the day was really awesome and Andrew hase out on top as he advances to the Quater-Finals, now let''s focus on our current battle between Van and Julian, Van is also a new face in the Indigo league and has shown his skills by defeating each and every trainer he faced by using only two pokemon in a battle, on the other hand we have Julian and he holds the record of defeating all his opponent only using one pokemon in a battle, his only pokemons which he has revealed are his Venusaur and Pidgeot his other pokemons are still a mystery to us, this is going to be a very exciting battle" The referee then steps forward caring two gs colored red and green and looks at both Julian and Van. Referee "This is a knock out round to determine the quarter-finalist for the Indigo League tournament, both trainers are allowed to use three pokemons each, both are allowed to switch their pokemons during their battle, the first person who has all his pokemons eliminated will lose" Referee "Trainer Van ready?" Van nods his head. Referee "Trainer Julian ready?" Julian also nods his head. Referee "Then let the battle begin" The referee yells as he waves both the gs indicating to start the match. Julian "Go Pidgeot" Van "Pidgeot huh? then I choose Onix" Announcer "Both of them have chosen their Pokemon, Julian is going with his Pidgeot while Van has revealed a new pokemon of his team" Julian ''An Onix a good choice, its attacks won''t be much of a problem but its defense should be really high'' While Julian is thinking Van already starts his assault. Van "Onix use Rock Throw" Onix creates numerous small rocks around it and sends them shooting towards Pidgeot, Pidgeot easily avoids them by doing slight adjustments with his wings and dodges them all. Van "Onix don''t stop, use Rock Throw continuously" Onix again creates numerous small rocks and this time they are faster than the previous ones but its no use as Pidgeot''s is way faster and glides through them without even being touched. Julian ''Looks like he is just concentrated on offense, well with a defense like Onix''s why would he try to defend but his bad luck that he has to face me'' The Rock Throw continues as Pidgeot dodges them one after the other. Julian "Pidgeot take the sky and deflect them using Twister" Pidgeot escapes the small rocks and flies up high to the sky as he starts to p his winds and create a huge Twister and sends it towards the iing Rocks. The Twister sucks the iing rocks inside it and sends them crashing towards the ground everywhere, few of them even hit Onix and startles it. Announcer "Look at this, Onix move has backfired" Van "Onix defend your self" Van never expected that his move is going to be reversed at himself since Twister is a Dragon-type move it could easily deflect Rock-type moves without being in a disadvantage Julian "Now dive down and use Sand Attack" Pidgeot swiftly dives down and uses Sand Attack while Onix is still busy trying to escape from the barrage of rocks flying towards it, the sand starts to rise as Pidgeot disappears into it. Van ''Shit this is same like his battle with Kassandra if Onix and I can''t see Pidgeot we cannot counter it, we are in trouble'' Julian "Hit Onix with multiple Steel Wings" As Pidgeot is blended well inside the cloud of sand Onix doesn''t know from where it will be attacked, Pidgeot hit Onix from the right with a powerful steel wing, steel type moves are really effective so Onix is hurt but it doesn''t stop there, another steel wing is delivered right in the front of it body then the left, then the right, Pidgeot''s movement is very unpredictable and putting Van and Onix in a really tough spot, they don''t know from where Pidgeot is gonna his. Announcer "We don''t see what is happening down, but we all know Oxin is cornered and cannot find a way out, looks like its over for Onix" Van ''This is really bad if this continues Onix will not be able to hold up, Hmm the Sand Attack is wearing out, Onix hang in there'' Van "Onix stay strong, just a little more and it will be over" Onix stays strong and holds up until the cloud of sandpletely disappears, Van sighs in relief seeing Onix is still hanging in there but he suddenly notices something. Van "Where is Pidgeot?" But it was toote for him to realize before he could even find Pidgeot, Pidgeot had flown up into the air before the cloud of sand disappeared, escaping from everyone''s eyes then as the sand cloud got cleared he dived down while using Steel Wing and thrashed it directly onto Onix''s head sending the huge pokemon onto the ground as its head crashed on the hard ground and it fainted. Referee "Onix is unable to battle, Pidgeot wins" Announcer "Onix bites the dust, that Steel Wing from the sky writes down Onix''s final page, now we have to see what countermeasures Van has to fight back" Van ''As expected Julian really is the toughest opponent in the whole league, I don''t know if I will win but I have to put on a good fight'' Van "Go Beedrill" Announcer "Van chooses Beedrill, what is Van thinking to do? Beedrill is clearly at a disadvantage against Pidgeot" Julian ''Beedrill, does he want to take the battle to the sky? no, no he wants to poison Pidgeot so that he can weaken him even though this is really a good strategy and might take many by surprise but not me'' Van was exactly thinking of poisoning Pidgeot, he sent out Beedrill so that Julian will let his guard down because of the type advantage Julian has, Van thought he would use this and poison Pidgeot to weaken him and make it even but unlucky for him Julian has seen through him clearly. Van "Beedrill use Twineedle" Beedrill takes the air as it points it two needle-sharp arms towards Pidgeot andunches towards him. Julian "Pidgeot fly around" Pidgeot starts to fly away and escape from Beedrill, soon it bes a game of cat and mouse, Beedrill is tight on the trail behind Pidgeot who is just messing around sometimes flying in a circle sometimes he would do 360 degree turns in mid-air and some crazy air stunts to startle Beedrill, it had be an air show for spectators as they watched the chase between Pidgeot and Beedrill. Van was getting frustrated as he is able to get his Beedrill close to Pidgeot. Van "Beedrill use Air cutter" Beedrill stops chasing Pidgeot then sends out multiple Air Cutters towards Pidgeot. Julian "Dodge the use Air sh" Pidgeot expertly moves between the iing Air Cutters and sends a huge crescent-shaped Air sh towards Beedrill as Pidgeot was very close to Beedrill, Beedrill didn''t have time to make an escape as the Air sh hit it very badly as it went flipping in the air and on to the ground crashing, Beedrill struggles to get up but still does, it still has some fight left in it. Van "Beedrill return" Van calls back Beedrill back as he knew if Beedrill cannot hold up. Van "Go stoise" Announcer "Van has decided to call back Beedrill and sent out stoise" Julian ''Looks like he wants to drag on the battle, I am getting bored'' Julian "Pidgeot return" Announcer "Oh, even Julian decided to change his pokemon, who is it gonna be?" Julian calls back Pidgeot as he doesn''t want to overwork his pokemons, Pidgeot used a lot of energy in his battle with Onix, taking down a tank pokemon like that will cost a lot of energy, even though Pidgeot could continue and win the entire match Julian decided not to. Julian "Venusaur it''s your turn" Announcer "It''s his Venusaur, Venusaur has single-handedly won three battles for Julian and it looks like the fans are really happy to see it favorite pokemon, Venusaur has also gained a lot of fame in this league" Van "stoise use Hydro Pump" Julian "Counter with Energy Ball" Two powerful attacks areunched towards each other as they collide huge explosion is followed afterward, Julian doesn''t want to drag this on so he decided to finish it quickly, Julian [Use Leach Seed] Julian sends a telepathic message to Venusaur so that he doesn''t alert his opponent. Venusaur shoots multiple seeds towards stoise as thend on the ground near it and the next second vines grow and tie up stoise as it slowly drains away stiose energy. Van gets startled by the sudden attack, he had never expected this. Van "stoise try to break free" stoise starts to struggle and tries to rip off the vines that are draining its power slowly. Julian "No you don''t, Venusaur use Giga Drain" Venusaur sends his two vines and wraps stoise and starts to suck up all the energy remaining inside stoise, stoise bes week and falls on its knees. Julian "Finish it Energy Ball" Its all over stoise gets hit by a powerful Energy Ball while it is at its weakest, it falls on the ground fainted with no movement. Referee "stoise is unable to battle Venusaur wins" Announcer "That was so quick, Venusaur is really a monster, looks like Van has no chance of winning now" Van "Go Beedrill, use Pin Missile" As soon as Beedrill enters the battlefield Van instructs it to use Pin Missile, it being a bug type move may be effective against Venusaur so Van doesn''t give up and choose to fight till the end Julian "Counter it with Razor Leaf, followed by Giga Drain" Venusaur sends multiple Razor Leaves towards the iing Pin Missile and behind it are two thick vines. Van "Beedrill dodge" The Pin Missile and the Razor Leaves deflect each other but the vines continue to move forward towards Beedrill, Beedrill tries to escape but the vines follow it, Beedrill is already tired from its previous battle with Pidgeot and cannot escape with full speed and so the vines quickly gets the hold of Beedrills legs and Giga Drain takes ce draining the little amount of energy left inside Beedrill hence it falls to the ground fainted from exhaustion. Referee "Beedrill is unable to battle, so the winner and the person to qualify for the quarter-finals is Julian" Announcer "Its over Julian is still undefeated and he has only shown two of his pokemon giving him an advantage against all other trainers who are going to the quarter-finals" The crowd burst into cheers as Julian walks away looking at Van once, Van doesn''t seem to be much affected by this loss. Announcer "The next battle willmence in one-hour between Ash and Ritchie" Julian goes to the pokemon center and gives his pokemon to Sara so that she can take care of them, Sara has been helping Julian take care of his pokemons from day one of the Indigo league. Julian turns on the television as he sees that the third battle is going to begin, he watches Ash lose as his Charizard doesn''t listen to him and so Ritchie advances to the next round. The day goes by as the fourth round of the day also finishes with Assuntaing on top and advancing to the quarter-finals. The match card is also made very quickly as Julian will face Andrew and Ritchie will face Assunta in the quarter-finals. Chapter 66 - Can You Win? The second day of the top 16 resulted in four more trainers entering the quarter-finals them being Melissa, Jacob, Kurt, and Zoe. In the quarter-finals, Julian faced Andrew and defeated him by using just his Electivire and Pidgeot as it was a six on six battle and advanced to the semifinals, Assunta also advanced towards semifinals by defeating Ritchie, the others who advanced to the semifinals where Melissa and Kurt. ?? The trainers who faced each other in the semifinals where, Julian Vs Kurt Assunta Vs Melissa. The semifinal was still the same Julian used only his Gengar and Pidgeot topletely dominate Kurt who was a psychic type trainer and became the first finalist, Assunta defeated Melissa after a hard-fought battle and advanced to the finals as she will face Julian for the title of the Indigo League champion. The inte is going wild currently as everyone is talking about Julian Vs Assunta match, many of them obviously supported Julian after seeing his winning streak but Assunta also had her hardcore fans cheering for her, Julian knew about the chaos his name is causing right now in the inte but he just ignored them, he is getting pretty bored right now, his final battle is after two days and this battle is going to be broadcast all over Kanto and also many different regions like Jhoto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, Julian didn''t like it but he couldn''t do anything about it. Julian decided to go the Indigo Stadium to watch the battle between Kurt and Melissa as they are battling each other to determine the third ce in the league, when Julian reached there he saw many people sitting in the crowd waiting for the match to start, Julian was escorted by a security guard to a different ce to watch the battle as it would cause amotion if he sits with the crowd, he took a seat and waited for the match to begin. The Announcer started to talk as he introduced the two trainers. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen today is the day to decide who is going to be the third ce holder in the Indigo League, today''s battle is between Kurt who was defeated by Julian and Melissa who was defeated by Assunta in their previous match, now they want redemption by taking the third ce in the League" After the Announcer''s announcement both Melissa and Kurt enter the battle stadium, after the referee''s signal they both start their battle, as Julian is watching he heard a voice asking him a question. "Who do you think is gonna win?" Julian turned around to see ady wearing a red and ck top and tight skirt, she had dark blue hair and brown eyes, he knew who thisdy was, she was Assunta his opponent for the finals. Julian "Kurt is going to win" Assunta was surprised by the sudden answer from Julian, she didn''t expect him to answer so quickly. Assunta "Why do you think so?" Julian "Kurt has more experience" Julian didn''t say much as he just brushed on the surface about Kurt, when he battled Kurt he was really impressed by him, he even spected that if Assunta had fought Kurt instead of Melissa she would have lost. Assunta "I think Melissa will win, I have battled her with all my power and I know she will defeat Kurt easily, how can you be so sure that Kurt has more experience when he couldn''t even eliminate one of your pokemon" Julian "None of my opponent were able to eliminate my pokemons so you can''t judge them by that" Assunta froze after hearing Julian as she realized that she had made a mistake by saying this, she had forgoten that Julian is a formidable opponent and cannot be taken lightly but that doesn''t mean she would give up, she wants to win this time and she would train harder for it. Assunta "That won''t repeat when we battle" Julian "Can you win?" Julian looks at her with intimidating eyes, he wants to see how determined she actually is, Assunta felt some pressure as she looked into Julian''s eyes, she started to doubt her self if she is going to win or not but she quickly regained her confidence as she was really determined and wanted to win which allowed her to break out of this unknown pressure. Julian nodded seeing Assunta''s resolution but he will still know that she is not as strong as Kurt. Julian looked back at the battlefield as saw that Kurt and Melissa have already started battling, Assunta also took a seat and watched the battle carefully, she didn''t bother talking to Julian as she won''t gain anything from it. The battle went as predicted Kurt won as two of his pokemon were still remaining, he took the third ce in this league, Melissa was a little disappointed but she came over it eventually. Julian stood up and walked away, Assunta watched him walk away as she looked at him seriously when she saw how Kurt battled today she questioned herself if she could have won against Kurt but when she thought how Kurt was defeated so easily by Julian she knew she will have to face the strongest opponent she will ever face. Julian went back to his room and found a notification on theputer, he looked at it and saw Professor Oak had tried to contact him, he quickly called Professor Oak, theputer screen changed as Professor Oak appeared in it. Julian "Professor Oak" Oak "Ah, Julian I actually called you to tell you that I will be arriving at the Indigo teau, they requested me to be the special host andmentator for the finals" Julian "I see so when will you be arriving" Oak "I will be there by tomorrow evening" Julian "Professor Oak I have a question?" Oak "What is it?" Julian "Who is the Champion of the Kanto Region" Oak "Ah....Actually, Kanto doesn''t have a Champion right now" Julian "Doesn''t have one?" Oak "Yes, well to tell you the truth I was the previous champion of Kanto but I resigned that post to continue my dream to be a pokemon researcher after I resigned no one is able to be one as the trainers who won the leagues where never able to defeat all the elite four so the champion seat is vacant, well I thought that you knew about this" Julian "I knew that you where once a champion but I didn''t know about the current champion as I never bothered to investigate about it" Oak "Well no need to worry about that, Lance from the elite four might probably take that ce pretty soon if he bes the Jhoto''s champion he will also be Kanto''s champion as well" Julian "Lance huh? well I guess he could do that" Oak "Why don''t you be the champion, you are pretty strong and the right person to take that position" Julian "Well I am not interested in taking the Champions position, I just want to travel bing a champion will tie me down to one ce" Oak "*sighs* well nothing can be done about that, it''s your choice and no one can interfere with it" Julian "Well then I will be going" Oak "Ok then" Julian switched off hisputer as he jumps on to his bed. Julian ''Who would have thought that there was no champion at all, I should have investigated about it beforehand and I wouldn''t have been so disappointed'' Julian closes his eyes as he falls asleep. Chapter 67 - Finals (1) Julian is currently in a room with Professor Oak as they both prepare for today''s event. Julian "Why does this battle have to be in the evening, this is really tiresome" ?? Oak "Haha, the league finals is just like a festival after a trainer wins he will be awarded the league trophy with the second and third ce holder respectively, after that there will be a firework show as the me of Moltres is extinguished until the next league starts" Julian just shook his head and continued his work, time passed very soon and Julian was now on his way to the Indigo Stadium for his final battle of the league, on his way many people recognized him as they took his pictures some reporters tried to approach him but he let out a small strand of Omniforce and kept them at bay which made them hesitate to approach him. He directly went inside the waiting room as he listened to the noise of the crowd gathering around the stadium, it was already evening the stadium was filled with decorative lights as the me of Moltres burned wild in the light of dusk. Some fireworks were lit up as people watched them in enjoyment, Julian was sitting in the waiting room as his eyes were closed when he heard someone entering the room, it was Professor Oak, Ash, and his friends with him. Oak "It looks like you are ready for tonight" Julian "Same as usual, just going there and winning it" Oak "Oh you are confident, that''s good go and win that battle" Ash "Yes Julian go and show her who''s the boss, we all will be cheering for you" Misty "Yes, we will be supporting you the whole night" Brock "All the best out there" Julian looked at them and thought that even though they were annoying they weren''t so bad. Julian "Thank you" Oak "Then I will be leaving now I have been called by the leaguemittee to apany them" Professor Oak walks away leaving Julian, Ash and his friends. Misty "We will be leaving as well, we need to quickly find the seats or they will be taken away" Misty drags Ash and Brock away out of the room leaving Julian alone in the room. Soon time goes by as the Announcer starts his usual announcement apanied by Professor Oak Announcer "The moment has finallye the one we all have been waiting for the finale of the Indigo league where Julian and Assunta will face of each other for the title of Winner of the Indigo League, both of ourpetitors and the best amongst their peers as they have proved it by bing the finalist of, now I will now present you our special guest for today''s event Professor Oak who is alongside Mr. Goodshow who is the president of the leaguemittee, Professor Oak any words you have for out finalist?" Oak "Ah, I just hope that both of them have fun battling each other today" Announcer "Now let''s introduce our finalist, first is Assunta who has worked harder and defeated all her opponents to finally reach here" After the announcer calls out her name Assunta enters the battlefield. Announcer "Next is Julian who took everybody in this league by storm, he has remained undefeated without losing a single pokemon in a battle" Hearing his call Julian gets up from his chair and walk towards the gate leading to the battlefield, he sees a man opening the gate for him as he enters the battlefield as well, when he looks around he is surprised by the huge attendance of crowd screaming out of their lungs as they cheer for him, he sees cameras everywhere as the current movement is being broadcasted live all over Kanto and different regions, he sees helicopters of different news channel hovering over the stadium constantly updating their information on today''s main event. Announcer "Now that both ourpetitors are ready, let''s begin" The Referee steps forward as he looks at both the finalist. Referee "This pokemon battle is to determine the winner of the Indigo League, each trainer will use six pokemons to battle, both the trainers are allowed to switch their pokemons in the middle of the battle, trainers are you ready?" Julian/Assunta "Yes" Referee "Then let the battle begin" Assunta "Go Venomoth" Julian "Kabutops" Both Venomoth and Kabutops enter the field as they look at each other. Announcer "This is the first time we are seeing Julian''s Kabutops, Professor Oak can you tell us about Kabutops" Oak "Yes, Kabutops is actually a pokemon that lived in ancient time but now they can be revived from their fossils, Kabutops is a rock and water type pokemon so it has an advantage against Venomoth" Announcer "An actual living fossils, this is my first time seeing one" Assunta "Venomoth use Sludge Bomb" Julian "Counter it with Ice Beam" Venomothunches multiple Sludge Bomb towards Kabutops and so Kabutops answers back by countering it with Ice Beam freezing them solidly in the air as the fall to the ground and shatter into pieces. Julian "Use Metal Sound" Kabutops clings his two ws creating a humming sound which irritates Venomoth which is hovering in the air as its special defense falls down. Julian "Ice Beam" Kabutops charges up and sends a powerful Ice Beam towards Venomoth. Assunta "Venomoth dodge" Venomoth quickly snaps out of its irritated state and dodges the Ice Beam inches away. Julian "Don''t stop keep on using Ice Beam" Kabutops starts to shoot multiple Ice Beam even though they are not as powerful as the one before they were extremely fast. Assunta "Venomoth use Protect" Venomoth uses Protect while making a sphere out of it and escapes from the barrage of Ice Beam. Julian "Stone Edge" Kabutops ms his w on the ground asrge rocks start to rip open the ground and ms onto Venomoth which is still under Protect as cracks start to form on it. Julian "Water Pulse" Kabutops sends out multiple Water Pulse as it continuously assaults the protective shield around Venomoth as it finally gives up, Venomoth couldn''t hold any longer and the Protect shatters then a Water Pulsends on it sending it flying backward, as its special defense is already lowered the Water Pulse had left a very impactful damage on it. Julian "Finish it, use X-Scissors" Kabutops elerate forwards towards Venomoth which is falling down, X-Scissors is delivered as a huge green X shes in front of everyone''s eyes, then everyone sees Venomoth is on the ground unconscious and Kabutops standing few meters away from it. Referee "Venomoth is unable to battle, Kabutops wins" Announcer "Assunta''s first pokemon is down, who is she gonna send to face Kabutops" Assunta "Go Ivysaur" Announcer "Assunta is sending her Ivysaur to battle Kabutops, Professor Oak what is your view on this" Oak "It''s actually an excellent choice, grass type moves have 4 times the effect on Kabutops if Ivysaur manage tond a hit with a grass type move it might have a chance" Assunta "Ivysaur use Razor Leaf" Julian "Counter with Ice Beam" Ivysaur''s numerous Razor Leaf charged towards Kabutops but Kabutops countered it with one fell swoop byunching an Ice Beam and moved his head from left to right and froze each and everyone in their path. Julian "Kabutops use Blizzard" Kabutops raised his ws as it started to snow then it turned into a powerful Blizzard as it started to freeze everything, the battlefield was covered with snow as the temperature started to drop continuously. Announcer "A brilliant strategy by Julian, to cover the whole battlefield with snow will have a huge effect on Ivysaur if Ivysaur doesn''t have a strategy it will be in huge trouble" Assunta "No so fast, Ivysaur use Sunny Day" Ivysaur who was shivering suddenly activated sunny day and the sun started to shine brightly which slowly started to melt the snow on the battlefield as itpletely turned into water. Julian smirked seeing this. Julian "Kabutops now''s your chance X-Scissors" Kabutops suddenly bolted towards Ivysaur as his speed was even faster than before and X-Scissor hit hard on Ivysaur as it sent it rolling over the water puddle. Julian ''Kabutops speed increases whenever he gets exposed to water, with his ability Swift Swim his speed has increased greatly'' Ivysaur was hurt, the damage done by this X-Scissor was very devastating. Assunta "Ivysaur hang in there you can do it, don''t give up" Ivysaur struggled to get up but it was hurt badly, it really wanted to battle, it remembered how hard it trained with Assunta, it finally stood on its four legs then suddenly it started to glow as it got bigger and its flower finally bloomed, it evolved into a Venusaur. Assunta "Ivy- No Venusaur lets do this let''s win this battle" Venusaur nodded at its trainer and stared at Kabutops seriously. Julian "Kabutops, Ice Beam" Venusaur suddenly sent out an energy ball and countered it. Assunta "You learned Energy Ball" Venusaur nodded. Assunta "Great, now use Energy Ball" Julian "Cut through it Metal w, then finish it with Night sh" Kabutops blots with super speed towards the iing Energy Ball as he raises his w and shes down straight on it cutting it into two, then he sprints forwards towards Venusaur as his ws glow dark while the two pieces of Energy Ball explode behind him. Assunta "Venusaur full power, counter it with Bulldoze" Venusaur starts to run towards Kabutops as it stumps the ground causing mini vibrations on it, its head glows as it wants to counter Kabutops with full power with its Bulldoze. Both Kabutops and Venusaur sh creating a huge st followed by a shock wave as dust rises everywhere when the dust gets clear everyone saw Kabutops standing as he flinched slightly and Venusaur on the ground fainted. Referee "Venusaur is unable to battle, Kabutops wins" Announcer "What a showdown between Kabutops and Venusaur, this is really a battle to be in the finals" Oak "Yes indeed a great battle" Julian ''That Venusaur was quite a surprise, never had I imagined that it would make Kabutops flinch'' Announcer "Now that two of Assunta''s pokemon are eliminated let''s see which pokemon is she going to send next" Assunta "Go Golduck" Announcer "Her third pokemon is Golduck, what strategy does she have to send it" Julian "Kabutops return" Julian suddenly returns Kabutops back to his Pokeball startling everyone. Announcer "Would you look at that Julian has called back his Kabutops, which pokemon will he send next, is it going to be his Venusaur, Pidgeot, Gengar or Electivire or will it be a new pokemon which he has not revealed yet" Chapter 68 - Finals (2) The whole stadium is waiting for Julian to send out his next pokemon as they wait in anticipation, Julian looks at Assunta who is also waiting in anticipation for her opponent''s next move. Julian "Since you havee all the way to the finals, I will honor you to face my first ever pokemon" ?? Assunta ''His first pokemon? is he talking about Venusaur, no he is referring to some other pokemon, is it Charizard or stoise, what could it be'' Julian "Go Infernape" Julian tosses Infernape''s Pokeball up in the air as it opens and Infernapees out of it, his mes are running wild on top of his head as he stares down on his opponent, Golduck suddenly feels some sort of heavy pressure on top of it as it takes a spet back. Announcer "Julian''s second pokemon is an Infernape, Professor Oak can you tell us about this pokemon as I have only seen it in pictures" Oak "Yes of course, as we all know I give new trainers their new pokemon when they want to start their journey and those pokemons are respectively Charmander a fire type, Squirtle a water type, and Bulbasaur a grass type, these three pokemons are also known as Kanto starters. Infernape here is also the final evolution of a starter pokemon from the Sinnoh region and it is called a Chimchar a fire starter, the other starter pokemons of Sinnoh region are Piplup a water type and Turtwig a grass type" Announcer "So Infernape here is a fire starter from the Sinnoh region, now this match is going to be more exciting" Assunta ''Infernape, this is the first time I have ever seen one, I don''t know anything about it but one thing and that it''s strong, just by entering the battlefield it made my Golduck take a step back, I have to be careful'' Assunta "Golduck use Water Gun" Golduck shoots a big stream of Water Gun at Infernape andnds a direct hit Announcer "Infernape is hit, what is Julian thinking" Suddenly the surroundings be covered with fog as it gets cleared slowly everyone could see Infernape standing still as water vapors slowly evaporated of his body. Assunta ''What the Water Gun had no effect'' Announcer "Unbelievable, that water gun just evaporated into thin air after getting in contact with Infernape''s body" Assunta "But how?" Julian "What is the use of pokemon having a type if they don''t know how to utilize it properly, my Infernape has trained himself to the peak to haveplete control over his fire element allowing him to easily control its temperature, normal water attacks are useless they will just evaporate just by the heat generated by Infernape" Assunta ''Complete control over an element?'' Julian "Infernape use Fire Punch" Assunta didn''t even have the time to react as Infernape suddenly teleported in front Golduck and delivered it to Golduck sending it flying back as it was smashed into the wall behind Assunta. The whole stadium was inplete silence, they couldn''t even process what happened right now, they all just saw a red blur and the next thing they saw was Golduck nted into a wallpletely knocked out. The referee came to his sense and looked at Golduck with was not moving at all. Referee "Golduck is unable to battle, Infernape wins" As soon as the referee announced the result the crowd burst into cheers, they had never seen something like this before, it was just over in a second. Announcer "Just one move and it was over, can you believe that I couldn''t even see Infernape move and it was already over" Assunta was shocked she couldn''t even react and it was already over, she didn''t really know what to do, she called back Golduck and looked at Infernape as he was staring at her, she knew Infernape was waiting for her to send out her next pokemon. Assunta "Go Rhydon" Announcer "Assunta''s forth pokemon is Rhydon" Assunta "Rhydon use Earth Quake" Rhydon stomps the ground with its legs as the ground starts to shake and cracks form on the battlefield. Julian "Infernape jump then ze Kick" Infernape jumps up andunches towards Rhydon as his leg is covered by fire. Assunta "Grab Infernape''s legs and use Seismic Toss" As Infernape is attacking air born his speed is severely limited so Assunta used the Earth Quake to take Infernape in the air where he cannot increase his speed. Julian ''Nice strategy but is it gonna work?'' Julian was impressed by Assunta''s quick thinking and finding a key w about Infernape speed, Infernape cannot use his legs to increase his speed in mid-air, Julian had clearly seen through Assunta''s n but he didn''t stop Infernape and yed along with her. Infernape arrived in front of Rhydon to deliver the ze Kick, Rhydon took this chance and grabbed onto Infernape''s leg. Julian "ze Kick" Assunta didn''t expect this but as soon a Rhydon grabbed on to Infernape''s leg, Infernape turned around and delivered a roundhouse kick right to Rhydon''s jaw using his other leg with ze Kick, the kick stunned Rhydon as it struggled to stand straight. Julian "Focus Punch" Infernapended on the ground and soon catapulted himself up towards Rhydon and delivered an uppercut using Focus Punch, Rhydon was lifted from the ground and sent up in the air and fell down on the ground with a bang, Rhydon waspletely out after that Focus Punch. Referee "Rhydon is unable to battle, Infernape wins" Announcer "Another one of Assunta''s pokemon bites the dust, now she has only two pokemons remaining whereas Julian still has all six of his pokemons ready to go" Assunta ''Looks like it''s over I cannot win but I will fight till the end'' Assunta "Go Fearow" Announcer "Professor Oak what do you think about Assunta''s choice" Oak "Well Fearow is a flying type so it should have an advantage against a fighting type such as Infernape but we will only know what will happen after the battle is over" Assunta "Fearow Air sh" Julian "Counter it with Focus st" Air sh and Focus st meet each other head-on and create a huge boom then suddenly Assunta makes a move. Assunta "Arial Ace" Julian "Meet It head-on, me Charge" With Infernape''s speed and the me Charge in use both Fearow and Infernape collide with each other the next second and the results were very clear, Fearow was sent flying back, even though its Arial Ace dealt damage it was not anything that Infernape couldn''t handle. Julian "Finish it, Fire st" Infernape puffs his chest and sends a massive Fire st as it crashes onto the falling Fearow knocking it outpletely. Referee "Fearow is unable to battle, Infernape wins" Announcer "Assunta is now only left with one pokemon, looks like its over for Assunta" Assunta clinches her fist, it''s not from frustration or anger, it''s from sadness aftering all the way up to the finals she knew she lost but she still wanted to finish it. Assunta "Go Hypno" Hypno was Assunta''s final pokemon and also one of her strongest, she had already decided to go all out. Hypno "Use Psychic" Hypno used Psychic and lifted Infernape up in the air so that it could m him to the ground. Julian "methrower" While Infernape was still in the air heunched a powerful methrower towards Hypno Assunta "Hypno, use Teleport" Hypno disappeared from its ce and reappeared far away from it, but it didn''t know what happened but the methrower still hit it, Infernape manipted the methrower and directed it towards Hypno''s reappearing spot, after being hit by methrower Hypno lost control over Psychic and Infernape became free. Julian "me Charge with Mach Punch" Infernape elerated towards Hypno and delivered a Mach Punch sending it rolling on the ground. Assunta "Hypno try to get up" Julian "Finish it, re Blitz" Infernapes body covered in red hot mes as he charged towards Hypno who was struggling to get up as soon as it was on its feet it was bashed by Infernape and didn''t gate any chance to counter, re Blitz is a very powerful move and Hypno received all of it, Hypno tried to get up with all its power remaining but it was useless as re Blitz effect took ce and Hypno was engulfed by fire and was knocked outpletely, it fainted and fell on the ground. Referee "Hypno is unable to battle, Infernape wins meaning Julian is the winner" Announcer "Its over Infernape is victories, Julian is our new Indigo League Champion" The crowd burst into cheers as they cheer for their winner of the Indigo League, Julian. Everybody stands on their feet as they p for Julian, the fireworks areunched as the night sky is lighted by their lights, Julian walks up to Assunta and shook her hand. Julian "You fought well" Assunta was sad but she didn''t feel any regret, she knew that she fought the strongest opponent she ever faced and won his appreciation. Assunta "Thankyou" The Night Sky was still blooming with light from the fireworks as the awarding ceremony was about to start soon, Julian head back to the waiting room to get himself ready for the awarding ceremony. Julian ''She was really impressive, she was not fazed by this big loss, it looked like she gained something from our battle today, now that is over I should quickly freshen up to and go back to the stadium'' Julian washed and wore another pair of the ck coat as he walked back to the stadium, he saw rows and rows of trainers filled the battleground, they where all the trainers who participated in this league, everybody was given a special participation badge from Goodshow himself. Announcer "Now is the time to award the top 3 of this year''s league" The Announcer started to talk while Julian was escorted on top of the tform where he saw Kurt and Assunta there, he nods at them and stood there. Julian saw Goodshow standing right in the middle and beside him was ady wearing a red dress holding the trophies. Announcer "Now let''s begin, the trainer to take the third ce in the league is Kurt who showed his specialty of training Psychic type pokemons, congrattions" Kurt walked forward as thedy handed a Bronze Trophy to Goodshow. Goodshow "You did well young man congrattions" Kurt "Thankyou" Kurt lifted his trophy and showed it to the crowd as they pped for him. Announcer "Second ce goes to the beautiful Assunta who fought with hard work and determination to earn her this ce, Congrattions" Assunta walked forwards as Goodshow hands her over a Silver Trophy to her, she hugged it and raised it high in the air as a round of apuse could be heard from everywhere Announcer "Now finally the moment hase to crown the winner of this year''s Indigo League, its Julian, he has shown the world how strong of a trainer he is and remained undefeated throughout the league with not even one of his pokemon being eliminated, everybody wees our champion of the Indigo League" Julian stepped forward as everyone cheered for him, he went towards Goodshow who handed his the Gold Trophy. Goodshow "Now that you have shown the world of how good you are, the Elite Four will be waiting for you" Julian "I understand" Julian takes the Gold trophy and lifts it high in the air. _________________________________________________________ The awarding ceremony is finally over as the me of Moltres is finally extinguished indicating the end of the league, every trainer starts to head back to their home town, some of them happy, some of them sad but that''s just how life is filled with happiness, sorrow, sess, and failure. Except for our MC Julian. Chapter 69 - Plan For Future. After winning the league Julian now is heading back to pallet town, every ce he goes he is recognized by people, many asked him for autographs and photos which he didn''t refuse it but he didn''t overdo it either. Julian is now currently staying in Viridian city at a 5-star hotel called J Paradise, he even got a discount as the manager of the hotel recognized him, even the owner of the hotel personally came to greet him, he had never imagined that being a league winner will affect his lifestyle this drastically, even though he had spected this he was way off, the treatment he received was grander than he expected. ?? Julian ''I never would have thought I would be this famous in a lifetime, well I don''t particrly hate this as I want people to know my name, my future ns depend on it'' Julian ''And now I have a lot of money with me, the system awarded me two hundred thousand on the quarterfinals, five hundred thousand on the semifinals and one million poke dors for winning the league, and there are also five hundred thousand poke dors given by the league for me winning it, now that I have so much money I think I should start investing it'' Julian thought as hey inside the bathtub and closes his eyes to rx. Next day he decides to leave for Pallet town, the owner of the hotel personally came to say his goodbye. The owner of this hotel was a middle-aged man with ginger red hair and a fat belly, his name is Jimi Brown and he owns many businesses all over Kanto and other regions making him a billionaire Jimi "Sir Julian, if you evere to Viridian City juste to my ce we will provide all the hospitality to you, and here this is my card if you face any problem just contact me and I will do my best to help you" Julian "Thank you, Mr. Jimi, I am really grateful for your hospitality, I will contact you if Ie back to Viridian city" Jimi "I will be waiting then" Julian hops onto his bike and rides off towards Pallet town, one his way he didn''t take a break and trained with his pokemons, even though his pokemons are strong they didn''t want to stop growing, they wanted to reach the pinnacle of their strength or even surpass that so they trained with Julian every day. Julian finally reached Pallet town as he enters he sees people doing their usual work, some working in the field, some are busy running errands, the shopkeepers yell loud advertising their goods and many more, even though pallet town is small its filled with all kinds of people and that''s what Julian loves about it. Julian ''I should buy a house near theboratory, I don''t want to always stay there'' He arrives at theboratory and walks inside to find the lights turned off. Julian ''Why are the lights turned off, wait don''t tell me -" Then he suddenly hears everyone yelling "CONGRATULATIONS" Julian ''Ah, I knew it'' The lights turn on and he sees Professor Oak, Gary, Ash, Brock, Misty, and Delia. The ce is fully decorated and a table is set right in the middle filled with food and drinks. Julian "You know you guys didn''t have to do this" Oak "Haha, how couldn''t we, you just won the league and winning a league is no small matter so we need a celebration" Ash "Ok, Ok now can we eat, I am starving" Misty "Shut up you idiot" Ash "I am not an idiot, you are the idiot" Everyoneughs at their quarrel and so the celebrations begin as they start to eat and drink. Julian walks out of theb to find Delia staring at the night sky. Julian "Delia why are you alone here?" Delia "Ah, Julian it''s you, nothing I was just looking at the stars aren''t they beautiful" Julian looks up the sky and sees it filled with bright shining stars. Julian "Indeed they are quite beautiful" Delia nods and continues to stare at them, Julian looks at and thinks about her husband and why did he leave, he didn''t want to interfere in her personal life but his curiosity got the better of him. Julian "Delia, I wanted to ask you a question, hope you don''t get offended" Delia turns around to look at Julian, when she looks at him she thinks he is very handsome but she feels no emotion towards him now when she first met him and due toing in contact with him she was little startled but now she feels calm. Delia "Go ahead" Julian "I always wondered who is Ash''s father?" Delia was surprised by this question Delia "Why do you ask?" Julian "I was just curious, I never heard Ash mention about him or seen him" Delia "I see, well Ash''s father is my first love when I was neen he came to pallet town during his travel, he stayed here and we met, we fell in love and married, soon Ash was born and time went by when Ash became five he said he wanted to continue his traveling and I couldn''t stop him from following his dreams so I stayed behind to look after Ash, whenever I see Ash I am reminded of him they both are very much the same, when Ash said that he wants to travel and be a pokemon master I was both sad and happy, sad because I will not be able to see him every day and happy because he is following his dreams just like his father" Julian just stares at her as he listens, he realizes that Delia truly loves this man, even though he had felt a longing for pleasure form her that day, it was just for a moment, she was back to her old cheerful self. Julian ''She is really a good woman, taking care of Ash and faithfully waiting for her husband toe back'' Delia "Oh, sorry looks like I talked too much and it looks like I embarrassed you" Julian "Not at all, I really respect you for being such a great role model for Ash and supportive towards your husband, from the looks of it, you love both of them very dearly" Delia "That''s true, I love them both dearly" Julian "You should continue looking at the starts, I will be heading back I am tired" Delia "Good Night" Julian "Same to you" Julian walks away leaving Delia behind as she continues watching the stars Julian ''Looks like I misunderstood her, she is really a good woman, now that I think about it I hope both Daisy and Chloe are doing well'' Julian walks back to his room and goes to sleep. Next morning Julian wakes up early as usual and releases his pokemons and let them eat and continue with their training, he also eats his breakfast and then talks with Professor Oak. Oak "Ahhhh, such a peaceful morning too bad I still have to work" Julian "Professor Oak, I wanted to talk to you about something" Oak "What is it?" Julian "I wanted to start a business with you" Oak "Business? what kind?" Julian "I n to start a Pokemon Food brand, we will use my recipe to make them" Oak "Your recipe, don''t you mind it being leaked, you are the one who found it" Julian "Even though it''s my recipe I don''t mind sharing it, using my recipe will help pokemons grow healthy, but if they want to be strong right training is still needed, my pokemons are not strong just because of the food I give them, each and every one of them are tasked with different training methods of their own" Oak "What you say is true, If your recipe can help others it is actually a good cause, but why did you choose me" Julian "Well Professor your name is very influential not only in Kanto but all the regions, with you being one of the representatives of thepany it will be very profitable, and with my recent fame I think out thepany will rise in fame very quickly" Oak "Oh, you have thought about it very far, well it''s actually a very good idea, and now that I think about it your battle was really shy in the finals, you could have won easily without using Infernape, you did it on purpose didn''t you" Julian "Well I don''t want to hide it with you, Yes I did it on purpose, with me disying some of my powers I will attract attention of many whether it is friend or foe but the most important thing will be fame, with my fame rising I will be able to step into themercial world as well" Oak "Haha, I knew you always have something running in that mind of yours, I am down but we need money and we don''t have much to start a new business" Julian "You don''t have to worry about money Professor, I want you to be one of the Board of Directors of thispany and also its supervisor" Professor Oak thought about it for some time and continued. Oak "From where will you get money?" Julian "I have two million dors which I will be investing in thispany, and I have found a man named Jimi Brown that billionaire, I will contact him and talk with him about this, him being a businessman I know he won''t let go of this opportunity, with me and your''s name being involved in this he will definitely join in" Oak "Oh Jimi Brown, I have heard of him, if you can bring him to invest in this business we could easily start looking into it" Julian "That great then I will be visiting Viridian city in few days, then I will think about challenging the elite four" Oak "Ok then I will also ask some of my friends about this and if they are interested in investing in it" Julian "The more investment the easier to start the business". After few days Julian went back to Viridian city and went to J Paradise hotel, after reaching there he asked the manager to inform Jimi Brown about his arrival and that he wants to discuss something with him. Julian went to his room and waited for the arrival fo Jimi Brown, as time passed the phone in his room rang, it was the manager. Manager "Sir Julian, Boss has arrived and is waiting for you in the business area, he said he will send one of his to escort you there" Julian "Sure" Soon the doorbell rang and Julian opened a door to see a middle-aged man wearing a ck suit and clear sses outside, he bowed down and greeted Julian and asked him to follow him. When Julian reached the business area he saw few people dressed in expensive clothes having a discussion between them, few of them saw Julian and were surprised to see him here, somedies wanted to approach him but when they saw the man with a ck suit in front of him they stopped, Julian obviously noticed this but he didn''t care much about it. They finally reached their destination, they arrived in front of a big door which was carved with a beautiful inscription on it, the man in the suit knocked on the door twice and opened it and gestured Julian to walk in. Julian walked inside to find Jimi Brown sitting in a red sofa and ady serving him some wine, Jimi lifts his head to see Julian walking in. Jimi "Sir Julian, please take a seat, you should have just called me and I would havee and visited you myself" Julian sat down as the servingdy poured some wine into a ss in front of him. Julian "Don''t worry about it Mr. Jimi, I came here as I have some business proposal for you" Jimi "Business?" As soon as Jimi heard the word business he became more interested and smiled at Julian. Julian "Yes, I want you to Invest in the newpany I am nning to start" Jimi "I am listening". Chapter 70 - To Face Elite Four. Julian lifts the wine ss and sips it then looks at Jimi Brown Julian "Well you see I n to start apany and its first product will be pokemon food" ?? Jimi Brown frowns after hearing this, there are already so many pokemon foods manufactures so to attract the attention of trainers to a particr brand will be very difficult. Jimi "I don''t want to sound superficial but how do you n to attract customers to this new product of yours" Julian "I know what you are thinking Mr. Jimi, tell me what will happen when people find out the food they feed their pokemon are the same eaten by the champion''s pokemon and also prescribed by Professor Oak himself" Jimi Brown''s eyes glow hearing this, he wanted to build his rtionship with Julian because he was already really famous and him being rted to Julian in any way was profitable and now he gained another huge opportunity to be acquainted with Professor Oak. Jimi "Sir Julian are you saying that you are going to release your secret recipe to the public, and will Professor Oak really prescribe it?" Julian "Oh I forgot to mention that Professor Oak will be one of the Board of Directors and will be supervising thispany" When Jimi heard Professor Oak will be one of the members of the Board of Directors he was dumbfounded, he never thought this would be possible, Professor Oak is a world-renowned scientist and him being one of the pirs for this futurepany is already a huge boost start for it. Jimi Brown thought about it for a minute and finally decided to take part in it, he cannot miss such a golden opportunity and even if this business doesn''t go well it won''t matter much to him as he will still get a chance to get closer to Professor Oak and Julian. Jimi "Ok then Sir Julian I will invest in this newpany of yours" Julian "That''s great, then I will be depending on you from now on, so how about we start with finding a perfect headquarters for it" Jimi "You leave that to me Sir Julian, my friend is in real estate I will ask him if there are any buildings on sale" Julian "Ok then I will be leaving, this is my contact number and this one is Professor Oak''s, you can contact any one of us after finding a suitable ce" Jimi Brown takes the cards and gives it to his secretary for safe keeping, Julian gets up and is escorted out by Jimi himself, when they walk out people seeing them together gets curious about their rtionship, one is a rising star and another is a billionaire. Julian rides back to pallet town to convey the news to Professor Oak when he reaches there he hears Professor Oak talking to someone in the phone. Oak "Thank you Steev you where very helpful, I will call you back after confirming some things" Julian "Professor who was that" Oak "Oh Julian since you where gone I decided to contact few of my friends who grow berries for leaving, Steev is one of them and I told him about our n so he agreed to deliver berries needed for preparation for our pokemon food" Julian "That''s great, I went and asked Jimi Brown and he also agreed to invest, I gave him your contact info so he might call you" Oak "Well it''s good that you thought of nning to start a business, and I am thankful for you asking me to join you, you know how difficult it is toplete my research without money but now if this business of ours runs well I will be able to continue some of my abandoned research" Julian "No need to thank me, Professor, we both are profiting from each other so it''s all right" Oak "What you said is true, we both are profiting from each other". Soon after a few days, Jimi Brown called to tell that he found a perfect building to make the headquarters and also a ce to manufacture the food, both Julian and Professor Oak went and saw the ce and where satisfied with it, Jimi Brown started to invest a lot of money in this project because he knew that his profit ratio will be more than loss so he didn''t hesitate, Julian decided to put him in board of directors with 10% of thepany shares, Jimi was really pleased with this even though 10% seemed less right now, he knew his profit ration will keep on growing with thispany, Professor Oak got 30% shares in it and Julian took 50%. They soon signed a contract and did some legal work which took a month, due to Jimi''s connection it was over quickly, Jimi''s few business partners also invested in thispany after hearing that Julian and Professor Oak are involved in it, they took the remaining 10% of the shares between them, after all the legal work the Julian handed out the recipe and with the supervision of Professor Oak he didn''t have to worry about it being stolen. Julian finally decided it was time to challenge the Elite four so that his fame can rise which will boost his newpany''s name was JC Corporations, the manufacturing process still did not start because they need to import huge machines for it from other regions, so they stuck on renovating the buildings under the JC Corporations name. Its been over a month since Julian had won the league so he held a meeting with the Board of Directors and told them about his ns to challenge the elite four, they where all very supportive of this decision as they knew if Julian defeated all four of them he will be a champion and being a champion means the highest position to have in a region, Julian bing a champion will be the biggest opportunity for this newpany to rise. Julian is now currently heading back towards Victory roan to meet Charles Goodshow as he will be the one to inform the elite four about the challenge and they have to arrive at Indigo teau to battle against Julian. After traveling for few days Julian finally reach Victory road and directly goes to the League Competition Committee headquarters to meet Charles, when he arrived there he was greeted by the receptionist and she quickly contacted the leaders about Julian''s arrival. The Receptionist led Julian towards the meeting room where he found Charles Goodshow sitting on his chair and smiling at Julian, Julian walked forward and took a seat opposite to him and started to speak. Julian "Mr. Goodshow I am ready to face them" Goodshow "And here I thought you didn''t want to be a champion and went somewhere else" Julian "Regarding that, even if I defeat all four of them I will not ept the champion''s position" Charles was surprised by this answer Goodshow "Why is that?" Julian "Well I am still young and I want to keep on traveling so being a champion is really not my cup of tea" Goodshow "Ahhh, I see from where you areing and I understand, I know being crowned champion of a region is a very difficult job and you will only get a vacation for few months, I understand but you will still be called a champion after your win even if you don''t except it" Julian "I know that but being called and being one is different and I am happy with that" Goodshow "I see that you have already decided your path and I have no right to stop you, I will inform the elite four and start the preparation for these battles" Julian "When will it start?" Goodshow "You don''t have to worry about that stuff within two weeks all the preparation will be done and we have to announce about this to the whole Kanto so take your time training" Julian "Thank you, then I will be leaving". Julian walks away leaving Charles Goodshow behind and alone in his office Goodshow ''Such a promising young man, I can see that he will take the world by storm''. Julian decides to go back and train his pokemons for now, even though he is confident of winning against the Elite four with his pokemons current strength he doesn''t like to ck off. After going back to pallet town Julian starts his training with his pokemon. Infernape now is training with Heatran to level up they both alwayspete against each other and disy their mastery of mes to each other even though they are close friends they are also rivals, Electivire is trying to master a new move which Julian came up with, it is very taxing to his energy but the damage done by it will be devastating, Gyarados also started to train his elemental powers, Gengar managed to have full control of ghost energy and is now able to possess unsuspected people, his other pokemons are also doing their own special training to increase their elemental powers as they wait for the battle day to arrive, Chapter 71 - Night In The Forest Julian is currently talking to a man in a white suit near Professor Oak''sboratory. Salesman "Sir Julian as you have requested this house if the nearest to Professor Oak''sboratory and it''s spacious so you don''t need to worry about guest visiting and the back yard is a huge free space which is nither owned by the government or anyone so you can find many pokemons visiting there" ?? Julian "I really like this ce, I will buy it" Salesman "Excellent choice Sir Julian, let''s go back to our office to sign some legal documents and the house is yours" Julian "Great" Julian went with the salesman to do all the procedure and legal works, after finishing everything and paying the price he came back to his new house which was empty inside. Julian "Now I have to buy some furniture, until then I would have to stay at theb" Julian went to theb and found Professor Oak sitting on the couch and watching TV, as always he was watching Kanto Now news channel. Host "The Pokemon leaguemittee has finally announced that the winner of this year''s Pokemon League Julian has finally decided to battle the elite four, and the first battle will be at the Indigo Stadium and Julian will be battling against Lorelei who is a member of the elite four and is an Ice-type pokemon expert, all the seats for this match has already been booked, everyone is excited about this battle, the inte is blown away by debate of the fans about who will triumph over other" Julian walks towards the couch and sits down. Oak "How is your new house?" Julian "I like it, it''s pretty spacious and the backside of the house has a huge field so I don''t have to worry about my pokemons not having a ce to stay" Oak "I see, so are you ready for your next battle" Julian "Yes I am" Oak "Do you remember that GS ball I was talking about?" Julian "Yes I remember you wanted it, If I am right it should be in Orange Inds" Oak "Well at first I thought of sending you to bring it but since you are busy I sent Ash" Julian "I see, well it will provide him with some experience" Oak "Yes you are right" Julian "Professor I will be heading out then, I need to train my pokemons" Oak "Sure" Julian goes to the field outside and brings out Snox from his Pokeball, Snoxes into Julian''s vision as he sees that Snox is still sleeping. Julian ''When Snox is sleeping he tends to ignore every noise around him so if I want to make him fight in a battle, I think I shouldmand him telepathically'' Julian [Snox] Snox who was sleeping soundly suddenly opens his eyes and yawns while rubbing his eyes then looks at Julian and waves his hand at him. Julian ''Great, so Snox can listen to me if Imand him telepathically, now let''s do some training'' Julian "Ok Snox now that you have woken up let''s do some training and I will give you some delicious food to eat" Snox suddenly gets on his feet and jumps around happily as he makes the ground below him quiver, Julian for the next few hours train with Snox and leave his rest of the pokemons to do their own training, while training with Snox Julian bonds with Snox very well. After training Julian gives Snox to eat his full and the next second he goes to sleep. seeing this Julian sighs and goes back to his room. As he enters his room he hears a beep inside his head. System ''Project Mewtwo has been modified, failed to remove side effects caused by the extraction of DNA'' Julian ''Why did it fail?'' System ''Extracting a single DNA and multiplying it is not possible, forcefully continuing this process will lead to may side effects and will not unlock the full potential of its parent genes, this is the reason why Mewtwo always suffer from emotional distortion which is a fatal w'' Julian ''Looks like I cannot help Mewtwo at all, it''s better for it to hide from the people and especially Giovanni, I know he won''t give up on Mewtwo, well I won''t interfere with it this time as I already know Giovanni is just digging his own grave by looking for Mewtwo''. Julian ''I think I should head out tomorrow towards Victory Road''. Next day Julian says his goodbye to Professor Oak and rides away towards Viridian forest as he wants to explore even deeper into the forest this time. Julian arrives at Viridian forest and goes deeper into the forest to search for new pokemons he can find there. Julian ''Last time I came here I found few pokemons which are not native to Kanto, let''s see if I find something which will grab my interest'' After riding for some time he reaches the part of the forest where he had fought the Ursaring, he looked around and didn''t find it, he thought they changed territory so he continued to travel forward. Julian was now currently disappointed as he didn''t find any new pokemons, as it was already about to be dusk he decided to camp right there, he asked his pokemons to scout the area to see if it is safe, after getting the ok signal he proceeded to set up the camp and prepare food for himself. As he was cooking he suddenly felt something staring at him, he turned around to see a pair of glowing eyes were staring at him from the bushes, he became alert as well as his other pokemons, suddenly the thing inside the bush pulled out its head and when Julian saw it he was relieved. Julian "Mew, where have you been all this day?" It was actually Mew who came out of the bushes and floated towards Julian and sat on his shoulder at it looked at the food Julian was making. Julian "I see, you came to see me because you want to eat this" Mew nodded its head happily then it started to float around Julian. Julian "Well you cannot eat this as it is my food, here take this I made them especially for you" Julian took out a bag filled with poke blocks he made especially for Mew, Mew smelled it with its tiny nose and the next second it started to eat it happily, after eating it went and greeted Julian''s other pokemons as they y around with it. Julian smiled seeing this then looked up in the sky to see that the stars were out so he decided to end the day as he dosed of inside his tent. Chapter 72 - Back To The Unknown Forest It was early morning and Julian is still sleeping but his sleep didn''tst long as he was woken up by Mew who used its tail to tickle his nose and made him sneeze as he jolted up, Julian looked around as he was still in a state of confusion but when he saw Mewughing nearby he was able to guess what happened and calmed down. Julian "What is it, Mew?" ?? After hearing Julian, Mew floated towards him and pulled his sleeve and indicated him to follow it. Julian "Do you want to follow you?" Mew nods its head as its eyes sparkled brightly. Julian "Ok wait for a sec, I will get ready" Julian quickly cleaned himself up and followed Mew, they went deeper and deeper into the forest until they reached a part where even sunlight couldn''t prate through the leaves of the trees that are covering the ground from the sky, Julian is wondering why Mew brought him here but suddenly he felt like he passed through some type of energyyer and the next thing he sees is huge trees towering to the sky, warm sunlight hitting his face and arge amount of spiritual energy in the air. Julian ''Wait I have been here, this is the same forest where I captured Elekid and also the ce where I first felt the presence of Mew, I didn''t think I woulde here again'' Julian "Mew, is this your home?" Mew nods then happily float around Julian then finally sits on his shoulder, Julian takes a deep breath and inhales the fresh air and spiritual energy inside him, then he releases all his pokemons outside. All of theme out and look around to find this new ce very pleasing and likable, Snox for the first time didn''t sleep but started to look around and finally found a thick bush filled with fruits and started to eat them, Julian shook his head seeing this, his other pokemons also started to look around, the most excited of them all was Electivire as he noticed that this was his home. Julian "Ok you guys can y around bute back here before evening" Hearing Julian giving them permission to walk around they swiftly bolted away to different ces, Infernape, Heatran, and Electivire made a group, Kabutops, Gengar, and Venusaur made another group, Pidgeot flew away taking the sky, Gyarados found a hugeke and took a dive deep down and Snox didn''t go anywhere as he was busy eating while tiny pokemons came and started to y around him. Mew again started to float and pulled Julian''s sleeve and asked him to continue following it, Julian didn''t worry about his pokemons as he knew that they are strong enough to defend themselves and he could easily find each and every one of them as their bond is really strong and with the help of his Omniforce it was no big deal, Julian turned to see Snox still eating. Julian "Snox you wannae?" Snox lifted his head and looked at Julian then it looked at the berries in his hand and he went into a dilemma, should he go with Julian or should he stay and eat more, Julian saw this andughed at Snox, Julian knew Snox loved both him and eating so choosing one of the two will be difficult for him. Julian "Ok, Ok, you don''t have to think too much, just sit here and enjoy your time, I will be going with Mew, if otherse back, tell them to wait" Snox pounded his chest as if he is saying ''Don''t worry about it'', Julian smiles seeing this then walks away as while Mew sits on his shoulder and indicates the direction. ________________________ Infernape, Heatran, and Electivire are roaming around the forest as they see new things everywhere. Infernape [Hey Electivire I thought you knew the way around here] Infernape throws a questioning look at Electivire as he was the one who said them to follow him as he knew everything about the forest but the facade was broken as Electivire didn''t know anything about the ce Electivire [Ha....ha, I was so young when I was here, I must have forgotten a few things about this ce] Electivire rubs the back of his head andughs awkwardly, he is really embarrassed. Heatran [Let him be Infernape, you know he is always causing trouble with Gengar, thank god that idiot is not here] Somewhere Gengar sneezes as he thinks that he must have gotten a cold Infernape [Yes you are right, Electivire don''t cause unnecessary troble] Electivire [What are you saying, me causing trouble, I have not caused trouble from the day I was born] Heatran [Ya, Ya, you are a saint, we all know what you do if left alone with Gengar, did you forget how you both got your ass kicked when you tried to steal Gyarados''s mega stone, you guys where lucky that he went easy on you that day] Electivire [Haha, that was just some harmless prank we did, brother Gyarados simply got angry at us for no reason] Infernape [You should know that he treasures that stone very much, just touching it will make him furious] Electivire [Don''t worry Brother Infernape, I won''t do anything like that again, I promise] Infernape [Just don''t cause trouble today] Electivire [Don''t worry about it, chil] Electivire says and walks forward leaving Infernape and Heatran behind, they both look at each other and knew that Electivire is going to cause some trouble so they followed him. Electivire walked forwards emitting an air of arrogance around him as small pokemons which were closer to him run away scared, Infernape and Heatran where really getting a headache seeing this, they had specifically said not to cause trouble but now seeing how Electivire was showing off his arrogance they knew trouble wille and bite them, as they were thinking this the incident took ce right before their eyes. A Seviper came forward and blocked their path. Seviper [Stop right there, how dare you to show off in my territory, are you tired of leaving] Then it looked at Infernape and Heatran then continued Seviper [And also take yourckeys any run away to your home] When Infernape and Heatran heard Seviper they were really angry, they thought of simply leaving but when they heard Seviper talking nonsense they thought to just ignore it and leave its fate in Electivire hands. Electivire looked at this snake-like pokemon in front of him with a questioning look, He turned around and looked at Infernape and Heatran Electivire [Brothers, do you know what this worm is saying] Infernape and Heatran didn''t respond and closed their eyes. Electivire [Oh I get it, this worm doesn''t deserve to even talk to us] Electivire also closed his eyes and sat down ignoring Seviperpletely, as Seviper saw this he was fuming with anger. Seviper [How dare you to mock me in my own territory, you will die] Seviper angrily flung his tail towards Electivire using Poison Tail, Electivire sensed the iing attack and suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Seviper''s tail just below its de. Electivire [You tiny worm how dare you try to attack the magnificent me] Seviper was now sweating bullets as he felt his tail get crushed between Electivire''s hand, then suddenly he received a stunning gift, Electivire zapped him with Thundershock as Seviper''s eyes bulged out and smock started toe out of its mouth and it fell on the ground. Electivire [Is it dead?] Heatran [No it just fainted but he will need some time to heal after that] Ifernape [Well let''s go, he deserved that, calling me Electivire''scky] Heatran [Ya, let''s go] They both walked away leaving Electivire who is checking Seviper while poking it with his finger. Electivire [Hey wait for me] Electivire followed them as they explore more of this unknown forest. Chapter 73 - Prince? Infernape, Heatran, and Electivire were now walking around the forest looking around for a ce to rest. Heatran [You Idiot, we should have not followed you, who would have thought you would offend a group of Ryhorn and Rhydon, its good that we took care of them] ?? Infernape just shakes his head, he is tired of Electivire and now is questioning himself for following Electivire. Electivire [It was them who tried to talk smack] Infernape [Enough, I think we should head back] Heatran [let''s go] As they were about to leave Electivire suddenly sense something. Electivire [Wait] Infernape and Heatran turned around and looked at Electivire Infernape [What is it?] Electivire [Follow me] Electivire didn''t give them a chance and bolted away towards the north. Heatran [What is he up to now?] Infernape [Don''t know, but let''s follow him I just hope its nothing stupid] Infernape and Heatran follow Electivire for about thirty minutes and they finally arrived in front of a huge grasnd but there were steel poles nted everywhere, seeing the scene in front of them Infernape and Heatran were very surprised. Heatran [The electricity flow in this area is very strong, no wonder why Electivire sensed it] Infernape [Hey Electivire why did you bring us here?] Electivire turned around and rubbed the back of his head andughed awkwardly at them. Electivire [Ha..ha, I actually forgot, this is actually the ce I was raised for a while until I met master] Infernape [Huh? how could you forget such an important thing?] Electivire [Now, Now chill, let''s go inside I will introduce you to some of my old friends] Electivire bolted forward followed by Infernape and Heatran, they saw many electric type pokemons such as Pichu, Magnemite, Voltorb, Mareep, Electrike, Shinx, and many other electric type pokemons and their evolution forms. Heatran [I have never seen so many electric types pokemons at once, I am not even familiar to some of these species] Infernape [Me nither] Electivire [You can find every type of electric type pokemons here] Infernape [Wait, why don''t I see any of your species?] Electivire [Oh, they are found deeper inside where the electric flow is much stronger] Infernape [Why is that?] Electivire [Our species is the strongest electric types out there so we deserve that privge] Heatran [So you are telling us that your species are like nobles in this area?] Electivire [Yep?] Heatran looks at Infernape and Visevarsa, they feel as if something is still missing, as they head deeper into the area they find evenrges steel poles on the ground and final evolutions of different electric type pokemons, then suddenly Electivire stops. Electivire [Oy, Luxray over here] Electivire suddenly starts to wave at a random Luxray who is walking around the area, it looked like it was patrolling the area. Luxray turns and finds a huge Electivire waving at him and he suddenly flinches a little, Electivires are at the top of the peak in this area so being called by one is really scary, he starts to recall who is this Electivire but it finds no noble Electivire resembling this one. Luxray ''Who could it be, I don''t remember seeing this one in this area, is it from another territory, oh shit I have to inform the King about this one'' Luxray tries to sneak away but to its bad luck, Electivire was already in front of him. Electivire [Yo, Luxray how are you doing?] Luxray [Who are you?] Electivire [Huh, You don''t remember me? Weren''t you the one who was tasked to look after me?] Luxray looked at Electivire and frowned but something shed inside his mind Luxray [Wait, It can''t be, are you the third prince?] Electivire [Bingo, you do remember me, man you look so skinny aren''t you eating well?] Infernape/Heatran ''Is he a prince'' Both of them look at each other and knew both of them are thinking about the same thing so, for now, they decided to keep quiet. Luxray [Prince you are back, you suddenly ran away and I couldn''t find you, due to that the King kicked me out of the core area, he even thought that King Magmortar kidnaped you so he went to fight him but found out that you were no there] Electivire [Oh that too bad, then, have a great day I will go and meet father] Electivirepletely ignores Luxray and walks away leaving the poor Luxray behind, Infernape and Heatran also follow behind Electivire. Heatran [Hey are you really a prince?] Electivire [Wait, didn''t I tell you guys?] Heatran [No you didn''t] Electivire [Oh, I must have forgoten] Infernape and Heatranpletely give up and quietly follow Electivire to the core region of the electric area. Infernape [So tell me how is this ce maintained?] Electivire [Well as this forest is hidden from the outside world which I found out after meeting master, the pokemons living here are under the rule of strongest pokemons of the area, like this electric field there are different types of field as well and every field is ruled by a king, and there is not just one specific type of field, there are many electric fields just like this and those are ruled by other kings] Infernape [I see, as humans don''t live here the strongest pokemon makes the rules for others] Electivire [Oh we are here] As they arrive they could feel arge amount of electricity around the area, it was really a heaven for electric type pokemons. Heatran [These poles are really annoying, I should destroy them] As Heatran being a steel type some electricity zaps Heatran but they are just like a tickle to him so he ignores them but they still got on his nerves. Infernape [I don''t think that''s a good idea] As they go inside the pokemons living here quickly move away from their path after seeing Electivire, some Elekid and Electabuzz looks at Electivire with doubt as they have never seen this Electivire anywhere they also notice Infernape and Heatran behind but they didn''t interfere as they were with an Electivire after all. Electivire [Haha it hasn''t changed much at all, everything looks the same] Soon Electivire arrives in front of a huge pir and a cave near it, electricity flow is continuous here, Electivire walks forwards and sees an Electabuzz sitting near the pir and absorbing electricity. Electivire [Yo second brother how are you?] The Electabuzz who was observing the electricity suddenly opened his eyes and looked at this huge Electivire waving at him, his first thought was that some king from another area was here, but then he suddenly felt something simr about this Electivire and it hit him. Electabuzz [It can''t be, third how did you? when did you evolve?] As he was about to answer suddenly a Thunderbolt was shot at him, but it had no effect, Electivire turned around to see an Electivire who was staring at him with caution. Electivire [First Sister why did you zap me?] The Electivire who zapped him was shocked by his response she didn''t think that he would call her sister, she thought that he was a wild Electivire who hase to challenge her father for the throne and seeing her brother in front of this huge Eectivire she was scared and zapped him to grab his attention so that her brother can escape. Sister Electivire[Wait, why did you call me sist-, wait, it cant be, third you are- you are an Elecitivire now, how is this even possible?] Seeing that his sister recognized him he was about o exin but again he was suddenly stopped as two Thunderbolts where shot at him zapping him a little but still it didn''t hurt him that much, he turned around to see two Electivire looking at him furiously. Electivire [Mom, Dad why the hell are you attacking me?] Infernape/Heatran ''Is this some kind of drama?'' They both look at each other and understood each other thoughts and decided to again keep quiet. Mother Electivire [Son is that you?] Electivire [So now you recognize me after zapping me?] Father Electivire [How did you evolve so soon?] Electivire [Oh that, My master helped me and trained me harder and harder and now I have be really strong] Father Electivire [Master?] Electivire [Yes, he caught me and trained me] Father Electivire [Wait you were caught, was it a human?] Electivire [Yes, why do you ask?] Father Electivire went into deep thought after hearing Electivire then he continued. Father Electivire [The you went to the outside world?] Electivire [Yes, the outside world is really interesting, humans and pokemons live in harmony and they y, battle and train with each other] Electivire [By the way why do you both look small all of a sudden?] Father Electivire [You idiot we didn''t be small, you grew bigger] Father Electivire then ignores his son and thinks about the current scenario, he understood what happened, his son was taken away by a human who trained him well and evolved him into a powerful Electivire, he then looked at Heatran and Infernape, he could sense that they both were really powerful, powerful than his son. Father Electivire [Who are these two?] Electivire [These two are my friends and also brothers, they are also masters other pokemons] Father Electivire ''I see, they are his masters other pokemons looks like my son found a perfect trainer'' Mother Electivire [How many questions will you ask them,e in I have some fresh berries inside] Electivire, Infernape, and Heatran goes inside the cave with Electivire''s family and spend some time with them. Father Electivire [So are you here to take the position of the king from me?] Electivire [Huh? No I just came to visit, I will go back with master and travel with him, and I think you should make sister the new ruler if you feel you are old, she is strong enough] Father Electivire [I am not old, and it''s still not the right time for your sister to be the ruler since you are out of the picture now so until your second brother evolves till then I will rule] Mother Electivire also have some mother-son time with him, Infernape and Heatran also blend in as their family members ask them about Julian and his other pokemons, time slowly passes and they decide to head back. Infernape [Come let''s go, Master is waiting] Electivire [Ok then, I will be going, this might be thest time we see each other] Father Electivire [I understand, now go] Electivire leaves with Heatran and Infernape, Electivire''s family understood what Electivire said and didn''t stop him, once a pokemon grows up they either rece their father''s position or move out to have their own territory, so they said their final goodbye. Chapter 74 - An Egg? Julian now finds himself in a field filled with flowers which he has never seen before, they sway together in the same direction as the wind blow over them, Julian is really intrigued by these flowers, some of them where huge some small, some looked like they where alive and walking while some stayed on the spot as their petals moved in an unusual manner. Julian "What is this ce?" ?? Julian looks at Mew who is sitting on his shoulder and nibbling on a poke block happily, hearing Julian''s question Mew floats up and starts to head towards a direction and gesture Julian to follow, Julian quietly follow Mew as it leads him deeper and deeper into the flowery field. After walking for more than an hour they finally stop in front of a hugeke, he had never seen such a vast water body that was so still without any movement, it expanded far beyond his vision, Julian is mesmerized by seeing thiske, the water in thiske is so clear that he could see the bottom of thiske and how deep it actually is, he then look forwards and sees a small Ind right in the center of theke but that''s not what intrigued him, there was only one tree on this ind and it was huge, its leaves where very different some had green leaves, some were red, some were orange, some were yellow, and some were dry it looked like every leaf on this tree was in a different time zone, he felt very familiar energying from this tree. Julian ''Is this The Tree of Beginning, No it''s not, from what I remember the tree of Beginning didn''t look like this, this tree ispletely different from the one shown in the anime, why have I never seen it before, what is this tree and why do I feel some kind of familiarity with it'' Julian had no answer for what he was looking at so he turned towards Mew to search for an answer, Mew looked at Julian then continued to head towards the tree. Julian ''Looks like I have to go to that small ind to find out what it actually is'' Julian went forwards and touched the water surface with his finger and to his surprise, he found Omniforce present in the water, he could feel each and every water molecule and it, he then dived into the water and felt Omniforce slowlying in contact with his skin and entering his body, he didn''t feel any different from when he would try to observe it while meditating, he knew God has put a restriction on him so he thought that the observations were limited, but this time he was not trying to observe it, the Omniforce automatically tried to enter his body, he didn''t mind it and started to swim towards the ind, as he swam more and more he realized that the ind in the middle of theke is not small at all, the more he got close to it the more bigger it grew. After swimming and swimming, he finally reached the ind he was dead tired, for the first time aftering to this world did he feel tired, he felt like he swam for an eternity but also felt like it was only for few minutes, he has no clue what his happening to him, he climbed up the edge of the ind and rolled upside down on the grass and took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he slowly recovered his energy, when he woke up he found Mew on top of his chest looking at him curiously, Julian looked at Mew and felt something was weird then he suddenly realized that the Mew in front of him was apletely different one, it was smaller and was fully pink not like the one which followed him which was light pink. Julian ''An another Mew?'' As he was thinking about it, he felt something jumping up and down his stomach, he grabbed the Mew on his chest gently and sat up to find another Mew which tumbled down to hisp due to him suddenly sitting up, Julian was now more shocked to find another Mew which was not the one following him, the Mew in hisp was also smaller and fully pink just like the one he is holding in his hand, the Mew in hisp floated up sat on his shoulder and nuzzled his cheeks, He then suddenly felt something, he felt as if many pair of eyes were staring at him. Julian ''It can''t be?'' Julian quickly turned around to find himself being stared by Mews everywhere, they were so many of them that he couldn''t even count, some of them were near him, some were looking at him from far away, some were hanging from the mysterious tree, but what all had inmon was that they all where looking at him with curiousness. Julian was petrified by seeing this, he had never imagined seeing so many Mew in a single ce at once. Julian ''What the heck is happening? Am I dreaming or is this actually real'' Julian rubbed his eyes and still found himself being stared by these Mews. Julian ''Look like this is real'' Julian slowly got up and looked at this tree in front of him, he had never seen a tree so huge in his entire lifetime, he looked up and found himself tumbling backward as he could not even see how tall this tree actually was, he just saw leaves with different color glistening at the top. He got to his feet again and approached the tree, the Mews in the surrounding also started to approach him and soon many started to familiarize with him, somewhere sitting on his shoulder, one on his head, one grabbed onto his back the other to his chest. Julian didn''t mind all these cute little pokemons hanging on him as he smiled seeing them not even having a little sense of insecurity against him, as he moved forwards he finally found the Mew which brought him here, it approached Julian and sat on his shoulder sharing it with another one. Julian went forward and touched the tree with his hand and suddenly he was jolted and he finally found his answer. Julian ''So it was indeed Omniforce, unlike the water this whole tree is made from Omniforce the roots, bark and leaves everything is made up of Omniforce and that why I felt this familiarity with it, unlike the water which only contained it'' But he found only one part of his answer, he still didn''t know what this tree is, he looked at Mew and finally decided to talk with it, he had never talked with Mew telepathically as their interaction is really short and they just understood each other without saying anything. Julian [Mew care to exin what is this tree] Mew who was sharing its poke block with his fellow Mew suddenly got surprised by suddenly hearing Julian''s voice in its head. Mew [Waaaaa, you can talk to me like that, I tried so many times to talk to you but I was never able to do that as I would always get blocked] Julian [I see, it must be because of the Omniforce] Mew [Omnifooseu?] Julian [It''s not Omnifooseu, its Omniforce, I thought you knew about it?] Mew [I only know of its existence and that it is also the source of our existence, so it is called Omnifooseu] Mew then suddenly started to talk with its fellow species and soon one after the other everyone started to happily move around mewing everywhere. Mews everwhere [Ominfooseu, Ominfooseu, Omnifooseu] They were very happy knowing the name of something which was the cause of their origin If Julian knew what all these Mew where mewing about he would have got a headache. Seeing the Mews dancing around happily Julian smiled, then he continues to ask Mew his question. Julian [Mew I didn''t get my answer] Mew suddenly came to a stop and started to exin Julian. Mew [This tree is The Tree of Space and Time, it was created by the original one and then blessed by his creations Dialga and Palkia, this tree is also the source for maintaining space and time of the entire universe and we are its guardian] Julian "The Tree of Space and Time" Mew [Yes, now we know that the tree is made by Omnifooseu we are very happy, I started to follow you because you had the same presence as The Tree of Space and Time and I was right] Julian [I have a question, is this tree rted to The Tree of Beginning?] Mew [Yes, in a way, the Tree of Beginning depends on use Mew for it to survive, once every 500 years we take an egg of our species and fuse it with the tree of Begining so that when it hatches it will protect it, after 500 years of guarding, it wille back to this ce and a new Mew egg is sent to rece it] Julian [I see] Mew [I was once a guardian of The Tree of Begining] Mew says proudly patting its small chest, as being a guardian of Tree of Begining is a very important task for their species. Mew looked very happy and it started to y around with its friends, Julian also sat down and rxed as he felt very warm in this Ind, he was even a little tempted to stay here but his dream is bigger than any temptation, Julian stayed around ying with little Mews who would suddenlye and disturb is meditation so he had no choice to y with them, he felt very weird staying in this ce, even though he spent so much time here he still felt only a few minutes have passed. Julian ''The Time and Space around here is so weird, even the leaves of the tree are affected by it, Dialga and Palkia are really scary''. Julian finally decides to leave as he is worried about his other pokemons, he turned towards Mew. Julian [Mew I think I should go] Mew [Meeeew, leaving so early, I want to y more] Julian [Well we can do that next time, my pokemons might be waiting for me] Mew [Ok, but wait I have something for you] Julian wondered what could be that Mew wants to give to him so he waits silently, Mew enters the tree and disappear and after some time it emerges out of the tree with a small blue pokemon egg, it turns around and tells something to the other Mews, then suddenly all the Mew starts to talks with each other and then everyone starts to nod happily. Mew then floats towards Julian and hands him over the small blue egg. Julian [An Egg?] Mew [This is a special egg and we all want you to take care of it and rise it well] Julian looks at all the Mews as they nod at him mewing happily. Julian [If you say so, I will take good care of it] Mew [Then we will part here, I maye and visit you but I don''t know when that will be] Julian nods and he covers the egg with a warm cloth and infuse it with his Omniforce and ces it inside his pouch, he then turns back and starts to walk away and suddenly he finds himself in apletely different ce from before, he realised that he was no way near the Tree of Space and Time anymore, he soon found his way back and saw Snox sleeping as small pokemons yed on his stomach, seeing this Julianughed, he found out that not much time has passed at all and he decides to wait for his pokemons toe back. Chapter 75 - Lorelei It''s about to be Dusk and Julian''s pokemons are back, they are having their food and waiting for dusk so they can get out of this mystical forest, his pokemons told him about their experience in this forest, he was also surprised to learn about Electivire''s family. He also found out that Gengar sneaked into the Grass area King''s home which was a Torterra and stole all his berries and gave it to Venusaur while he was exploring the Grass area, when Torterra found Venusaur with all his berries he attacked Venusaur and hence leading a battle between Venusaur and Torterra, Venusaur came out on top in that battle whereas Gengar was watching them battle while eating the stolen berries as though he was watching some show. ?? After that Gengar was chased down by Venusaur all over the forest to punish him for his actions but Gengar was too sneaky for Venusaur, when Julian heard this he didn''t know whether tough or cry at Gengar''s mischievousness. Soon the sky became orange from the setting sun and all his pokemons where teleported back to Viridian forest near their campsite, he looked up the sky and found that the sun is rising so went back to the came and found out they spent a whole day inside the mythical forest. Julian ''That forest is really weird, time flow inside there so really confusing'' Julian decided to hurry up and head towards victory road for his next battle. Next day when he arrived there he saw that the banners near the street already had his match promoted on, it had pictures of him and Lorelei with few of their pokemons on it, the banner was designed shy and few people were looking at it with anticipation. Julian didn''t think much about it and went directly towards Kanto''s League Competition Committee headquarters when he reached there the receptionist told him that they have already reserved a room for him to stay in a hotel next to the Indigo Stadium, he received the key card and went towards the Indigo Stadium, he arrived at the hotel specified in the key card and found his room to take a rest, after resting for a while he decided to take a walk. Julian arrived near the stadium so he decided to go inside and take a look inside, he walked up the stairs and took a seat and looked at the battlefield, he noticed that the mechanism in the battlefield was changed. Julian ''Looks like its going to be an Ice-type battlefield'' As he was wondering who is he gonna send to battle the elite four he heard footsteps from the other side of the stadium, his 5-senses where more sensitive than some pokemons so he easily noticed those footstepsing from another side of the stadium, he looked up to see a woman entering, she had violet hair, wore sses, a red top under a blue jacket and a ck pencil skirt. Seeing this woman Julian recognized her, she was Lorelei a member of the elite four and also his next opponent, Lorelei also noticed Julian and looked at him seriously, she knew Julian was no pushover, they looked at each other for a long as if it was a staring contest, Julian finally closed his eyes andid back ignoring her. Lorelei felt satisfied seeing Julian back down, she thought that she got the upper hand in their first interaction, what she didn''t know that Julian felt bored looking at her for a long time so he closed his eyes. Lorelei left the stadium after checking the battlefield leaving Julian alone. Julian goes back to his room and looks at Lorelei''s data and a few of her exhibition matches. Julian ''Looks like she only has five pokemons with her, from all the exhibitions matches I have watched, she used these five pokemons only, Dewgong, Cloyster, Slowbro, Jynx, and Lapras. All of them being Ice-type except Slowbro, a team mostly made of ice types, a trainer who is an experienced electric type trainer can easily bring down her team, she should really consider adding a ground or rock type pokemon in her team, I just hope that she can put on a fight against Electivire'' Julian was about to switch off hisputer when he received a call from Professor Oak. Julian "Professor?" Oak "Julian I will be there to cheer you on for your match" Julian "You don''t have to, you should be busy with all that work for ourpany" Oak "Don''t worry about it, all the preparation have been done, we are only waiting for the machines to be delivered and the workce to be renovated after that production will start" Julian "I see, I didn''t expect things to go this smoothly" Oak "Well Jimi worked his magic, he has many connections so it was possible" Julian "That''s great" Oak "And also Daisy also sent her regards to you, she said that you have to win against the elite four" Julian "Daisy? Tell her that I will win for sure" Oak "Ok then, I will be there before your match" Julian decided to end the day and went to sleep, for the next few days he just made his pokemon do some light training, he didn''t want his pokemons to overdo themselves before their battle. Chapter 76 - Elite Four Julian is sitting in the waiting room as he is apanied by Professor Oak by his side. Oak "How do you feel? Today is the day you are going to face one of the elite four, are you nervous?" ?? Julian "Not at all, I feel pretty excited. Lorelei is a member of Elite four so I won''t underestimate her even though her team is not the best when ites to strategy battles" Oak "I see, I guess you are using Electivire as your main force for this battle" Julian "Yup, Since he has the most advantage against her team, but he won''t fight her whole team" Oak "I will wait and see what you are nning to do" Professor Oak gets up from his chair and walks away leaving behind Julian alone, he takes out three pokeballs from his pouch and looks at them. Julian ''You three will be the star of the day'' Julian smiles and ces the pokeballs onto his belt and waits for his call, he could already hear the crowd shouting out of their lungs as they wait in anticipation for this battle. The time has arrived and a man walks into the waiting room and informs Julian. Man "Trainer Julian, be ready, the announcement will start in a minute" Julian nods and gets up from his seat and walks towards the door which leads to the battlefield where he will battle today, as he waits the announcer starts to speak. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the day the whole Kanto has been waiting for, today a Member of the Elite four is challenged by the winner of this year''s Indigo League, JULIAN" As he hears his name Julian starts to walk as he enters the sight of everyone present in the Indigo Stadium as they shout his name and support him. Julian walks towards the battlefield as he sees a huge battlefield covered with Ice, there where some Ice boulders in the battlefield as well. Julian after looking at the battlefield nods as he had expected this from the start. Julian ''Looks like I need to get rid of the Ice'' Julian waits silently as the crowd cheers down and the Announcer begins his announcement again. Announcer "That was a great wee to our challenger Julian. Now its time to introduce his opponent, she is an Ice-type pokemon expert and a member of the Elite Four of Kanto, Introducing LORELEI" As the Announcer announce her name Lorelei steps up inside the stadium and looks at the crowd and waved at them then she continues forward and stares at Julian and smirks. Lorelei "Julian, this is our second time meeting and ourst as well, after this match your rising fame will crumble and you will be forgotten" Julian smirks after hearing Lorelei, he clearly sees through her intentions to provoke him but its useless. Julian "What you said I also agree, but only half of it, this will be our second andst time meeting, true. Me losing this battle, you are a quite delusional I must say" Seeing her attempt to provoke Julian fail and being ridiculed by him made her re up but she came back to her sense pretty quick, she knew Julian was trying to provoke her as well so she cannot let her guard down. Julian "Didn''t like what you heard?" Lorelei "Hmpf, if those sillyments could get me I wouldn''t be a member of the elite four" Julian "Well that''s to be expected or I would have been very disappointed" Julian put on a smirk on his face while saying this and shakes his head in disappointment. This time Lorelei really was about to burst but she somehow managed to calm down, she looked at Julian and saw him smiling at her, she knew that he was ying with her and now she became more determined to defeat him. Unknown to them in a big room decorated with beautiful wallpapers and paintings and a huge dining table in middle, three people where sitting on their chair and looking at the huge TV in front of them, one is a man with a well built bulky tan body, spiky ck hair, and was wearing only a white trouser tied to his waist by a ck belt. Another was a short old Lady with blond hair and was wearing a purple dress and was holding a staff in her hand. Thest was a man standing tall with spiky dark pink hair and was wearing a red and ck dress and a cape on his back. They where the rest of the elite four, Bruno, Agatha, and Lance. They were carefully looking at the screen which disyed both Julian and Lorelei on the screen and their interaction. Agatha "Lance boy, who do you think is gonna win?" Lance "I have no idea, I know how Lorelei battles but this Julian guy is full of mystery all his battles andpletely different battle style, it looked like he wasing up with a strategy on the go, these kind of trainers are the hardest to deal with" Bruno "Hahaha, who cares about how he battles, I just want to battle a strong opponent so I hope he doesn''t lose this battle" Agatha looks at them and stays quiet and looks back at the screen and squints her eyes. Agatha ''Looks like Lorelei already lost, he has already gotten into her head and she hasn''t even realized it, I just hope she can get out of this web which has already entangled her'' Agatha then looks at Bruno then Lance. Agatha ''Lorelei is clearly not a perfect opponent for Julian, Bruno might stand a better chance against him as he cares only about battling, Lance, on the other hand, has great courage and determination and with that, he has ovee every obstacle he has faced with it but will that be enough?'' She then again looks at Julian who is smiling at Lorelei. Agatha ''Julian, what a scary kid.....Looks like I have to be more serious than before'' Back to the stadium Lorelei is dumbfounded as she looks at Julian smiling at her, she is in confusion as she is not able to read her opponent at all, above that she felt like Julian could see through herpletely, unknown to her she started to doubt herself as well. As Lorelei was thinking about a strategy, the referee steped in the battle beild holding two gs in his hand one red and the other blue. Referee "This pokemon battle will be a five on five pokemon battle as requested by the elite four member Lorelei, both trainers are allowed to substitute their pokemons during the battle, the person who loses all five of their pokemon loses" Both Julian and Lorelei nods hearing the rules. Referee "Trainer Julian, ready?" Julian "Yes" Referee "Elite Four member Lorelei, ready?" Lorelei "Yes" Referee "Then let the battle begin" The Referee waves his two gs indicating the start of the match and the crowd held on to their seats. Lorelei "Since everything is in my advantage, I will give you a chance by going first" Julian "With Pleasure" Lorelei "Go Cloyster" Julian ''She choose Cloyster, going full defense from the go'' Julian "Go Electivire" Both Cloyster and Electivire enter the battlefield as they stare at each other and wait for their trainer''smand. Chapter 77 - Julian Vs Lorelei (1) Announcer "The first pokemons to start this battle are Electivire and Cloyster, and it looks like Lorelei is at a disadvantage" Lorelei "Are you really going to use Electivire from the start, and here I thought that you are going to save it forst" ?? Julian "Well Electivire really like to y so I think to keep him waiting isn''t good" Lorelei "Hmpf, your typing advantage ispletely useless against me today" Julian "We will see about that" Lorelei "Cloyster use Ice Shards" Cloyster sends out numerous Ice Shards at Electivire flying at full speed, each and every one of them is sharp and pointy. Julian "Destroy them" Electivire sends out a wide area of Discharge and shreds each and every Ice Shard into pieces. Julian "Thunder Wave" Electivire''s Thunder Wave sends sparks everywhere and Cloyster is found paralyzed, unable to move as electricity sparks all over its body. Lorelei seeing her Cloyster paralyzed greeted her teeth and called it back. Lorelei "Cloyster return" Julian "What, switching so early?" Lorelei "Its no of your concern" Julian "Whatever you say" Lorelei "Go Jynx" Julian ''Looks like she wants to eliminate Electivire as soon as possible, well let''s see how she is going to aplish that'' Lorelei "Jynx use Ice Beam" Julian "Counter it with Thunderbolt" Two attacks collide creating explosions and shock wave. Lorelei "Now Perish Song" Julian ''Shit'' Julian "Electivire return" Julian quickly calls back. Lorelei "Hee, who would have thought that you would back out" Julian "Anyone would be an idiot to face Perish Song upfront" Announcer "Looks like Julian called back Electivire right on time if Jynk was able to perform that Perish Song we would and seen Electivire fainted after a few seconds" Julian ''Who would have thought that Jynx could use Perish Song, well looks like I need to eliminate it, well looks like its time'' Julian "Snox" Snox enters the field asleep and crashes down on the Ice field leaving some cracks behind. Julian [Sleep Talk] As soon as Julian sends a telepathic message Snox sit straight up but still sleeping. Announcer "This is new, this is the first time we see a new pokemon from Julian and it''s a Snox" Lorelei "Hmfp, do you think that sleeping can help you avoid Jynx Perish Song" Julian "Go ahead and try" Lorelei "As you wish, Jynx use Perish Song" Jynx starts to sing as the Lorelei waits for Snox to faint but to her surprise, Snox is still sleeping sitting still without fainting. Lorelei "What''s going on" Julian "Well you see, when my Snox is sleeping he ignores every type of sound, you can say that he goes deaf temporally while sleeping, so your Perish Song ispletely useless" Lorelei grits her teeth then she throws a question at Julian. Lorelei "If Snox cannot hear that means he cannot battle" Julian ''Well that was one of my concern when I found out that it''s useless to use sleep talk on Snox as he won''t be able to listen at all'' Julian "Are you sure" As soon as Julian said this Snox who was sleeping suddenly stood up while his eyes where still closed, then he suddenly inhaled air inside his mouth and the next second a humungous Hyper Beam was sent towards Jynx, Lorelei didn''t even know what happened but her Jynx was found nted deep inside the wall behind herpletely fainted, there was a devastating trail left behind on the ground as smoke raised for it, half of the ice on the battlefield hadpletely disappeared. The whole stadium was silent with no sound, all of them werepletely petrified by the power of that Hyper Beam. Julian ''The answer to my concern was, Telepathy still worked while he was in the Sleep Talk state'' Lorelei was stunned she didn''t even know what happened, she only felt extreme pressure for a second next to her and next she saw the devastated battlefield and her Jynx was nowhere to be found, she turned around to see a huge crater on the wall and her Jynx was right in the middle knocked out. Inside the unknown room, the remaining member of the elite four whereplete stunned at what they were seeing. Bruno "What a Monster, that Snox should be illegal" Lance "I think even my Dragonite cannot withstand that" Agatha was the only one who was frowning. Agatha ''Why did that Snox attack all of a sudden, from what I saw Julian never gave anymand'' Back to the stadium, Lorelei calls back her Jynx into its Pokeball. The Referee also snaps out of his trance and quickly announce. Referee "Jynx is unable to battle, Snox wins" The crowd alsoe back to their senses and burst into excitement, while Snox was still sleeping soundly. Julian ''Well that was over in a second, I think I should not use him, its just overkill'' Julian "Snox return" Announcer "Looks like Julian is calling back Snox, what is he nning to do?" Lorelei alsoes back to her senses, she looks at Julian. Lorelei ''Why is he calling it back so soon, from what can I see it could have easily swiped my whole team'' Lorelei had nowpletely given up on this battle and she hadn''t realized it at all, she then called out her next pokemon. Lorelei "Go Dewdong" Julian "Infernape" Announcer "Both the trainers have chosen their third pokemon, them being Dewdong and Infernape. Julian is in the lead as he hasn''t lost a single pokemon whereas Lorelei has already lost her Jynx" Julian "Infernape melt the rest of the Ice" Lorelei "Don''t let it happen, use Waterfall" Dewdong brings down a huge amount of water crazing towards Infernape, Infernape looks up and sts methrower at the iing Waterfall, they collide and suddenly the whole stadium is covered by fog, nothing is visible as not even a single drop of water escaped as the methrower evaporated itpletely. Julian [me Charge] Lorelei didn''t expect this as Infernape suddenly crashed into the distracted Dewgong and sent it rolling backward and crashed into an Ice boulder. Lorelei "Dewgong are you ok" Dewgong slowly gets up and nods its head stating it is fine, seeing this Lorelei sighs in relief she didn''t know what happened just now but she had a rough idea. Lorelei ''His pokemons attack without hismand all of a sudden, are they just like that, or they received some kind of signal, if this goes on I won''t be able to counter'' Julian "methrower" As Lorelei was still thinking she heard Julian''smand and quickly called out a move. Lorelei "Counter, Ice Beam" As Dewgong waited for a methrower toe at it but suddenly it felt the ground shaking and the next second it was thrashed by a Stone Edge from underground sending it flying in the air, Dewgong then came crashing down. Lorelei couldn''t tell what was happening at all. Lorelei ''I clearly heard methrower but why did Dewgong suddenly get hit by a Stone Edge, this makes no sense, is his pokemons retaliating and ignoring hismands?'' As the fog slowly gets cleared Lorelei sees Julian smiling at her and she realized Lorelei ''His pokemons aren''t ignoring hismand but doing as he said, it looks like he couldmand his pokemons with some different method, he used that methrowermand as a cover for that Stone Edge. If this is really the case I really don''t know how to counter him'' Lorelei grits her teeth and continues. Lorelei "Dewgong are you able to continue?" Dewgong struggles to get up, that Stone Edge really did a number on it. It struggles for a while as it gets back up. Lorelei "Dewgong full power Aqua Jet" Julian "Focus Punch" Dewgongunches itself towards Infernape as water surrounds its body, the Aqua Jetes down full speed. Infenape also sprints towards theing Dewgong, his right hand glows zing yellow. Both attacks meet head-on, the collision sends shockwaves and blows away everything in the surroundings, the Ice shards, broken pieces of rocks, small machine parts, even the referee is pushed back by the shockwave. Next moment both Pokemones to halt and stare at each other then suddenly Dewgong copses and faints. Referee "Dewgong is unable to battle, Infernape wins". Chapter 78 - Julian Vs Lorelei (2) Lorelei looks at Dewgong who ispletely knocked out and clinches her fist. Lorelei ''I have already lost two of my pokemons one is paralyzed, I don''t know how long will the paralyzed state be activated on Cloyster, I have only Slowbro and Lapras but I don''t have any advantage. The Ice battlefield ispletely destroyed, what do I do'' ?? Lorelei "Dewgong you did well, return" Announcer "Lorelei has lost her second pokemon, leaving only three of them left. On the other hand, Julian still has all his pokemons" Lorelei looks at Julian who is staring at her, she felt as if he knew everything she was going to do, she then finally realized. Lorelei ''Looks like I had lost this battle from the start'' Lorelei "Go Slowbro" Announcer "Lorelei''s fourth Pokemon is Slowbro, it clearly has an advantage against Infernape" Julian "Infernape you may return" Julian called back Infernape surprising everyone, many had expected Infernape to continue fighting. Announcer "Julian had decided to call back Infernape, so which pokemon is he gonna send next" Julian "Let''s do this again, Electivire" Electivire once again appeared in the battle stadium and saw the carnage and looked around confused. Lorelei "I guessed you would send Electivire" Julian "Well its always better to have an advantage" Lorelei "Indeed, but I won''t give up so easily" Julian "Electivire use Electric Terrain" As soon as Electivire heard Julian saying Electric Terrain, Electivire''s body suddenly glowed yellow and sent out waves of electricity into the area and causing the whole area to glow yellow, Electric Terrain was activated meaning Electivire''s electric moves where now more powerful than ever. Announcer "Electivire has activated Electric Terrain, this is going to be very bad for Lorelei" Lorelei "Slowbro quickly use Water Gun" Julian "Counter with Thunderbolt" As both pokemons performed their moves as they collided with each other, soon the Water Gun was obliterated by the Thunderbolt as it continued to charge towards Slowbro. Lorelei "Now, Teleport behind Electivire and use Zen Headbutt" As the Thunderbolt was about to hit Slowbro, it quickly disappeared and reappeared behind Electivire and charged towards him using Zen Headbutt. Julian "Thunder Punch" Electivire quickly turned around and met Slowbro head-on with a crackling Thunder Punch, both collided and formed an enormous bacsh from it, they both were pushed back a little, of course, due to Electric Terrain Electivire delt more damage to Slowbro. Julian "That Zen Headbutt of your Slowbro is very strong, I didn''t expect it to sh head-on with Electivire" Lorelei "Hmpf, I have just started" Lorelei "Slowbro use Telekinesis and send stones flying at Electivire" Slowbro was actually very powerful it lifted multiple shattered rocks from the ground and formed a tornado of it and sent it towards Electivire, each and every rock in this tornado was able to deal a lot of damage so Julian didn''t want to take any chances. Julian "Electivire bring down Thunder upon yourself" Electivire raised his hands up in the sky and suddenly dark clouds started to form and rumbled, it started to spin and create a hole right in the middle and next a huge lightning bolt came crashing down on Electivire and hit him, the impact was so devasting that it cause the raging rock tornado to slow down and reduce its power, the battlefield waspletely charred ck, the referee had already fled far away as he didn''t want to get in middle of this devastating battle. Announcer "What just happened, why did Julian bring down an attack on this Electivire?" As the scene cleared everybody could see Electivire standing as smoke could be seening off his body but they were shocked to see that Electivire was still standing and something was different about him. His body was covered with electricity as it ran wildly on his body. Julian "Activate Ion Deluge" Electivire activated Ion Deluge, Ion Deluge could convert any Normal-type move into Electric-type move. Lorelei suddenly found something fishy but it was toote. Julian [Giga Impact] Lorelei "Quick Slowbro Teleport" Before Slowbro could even teleport Electivire had already mmed Slowbro and sent it flying across the battlefield and into a wall behind Lorelei. It was too quick many of them couldn''t even see what happened, they only saw a yellow sh and next second they heard a boom and saw Slowbro nted into a wall, knocked out. Referee "Slowbro is unable to battle Electivre wins" Lorelei "How did Electivire be so fast?" Lorelei waspletely shocked, she didn''t expect Electivire to be so fast with such a huge body, she thought of using Slowbro''s teleport to counter Electivire but her calction where all wrong. Julian ''Well why would I bring down thunder upon Electivire, it''s actually his ability Motor Drive, every time he gets hit by an electric type move his speed increases, the more powerful the attack the faster he bes. That thunder was to increase his speed, Ion Deluge to convert Giga Impact into electric type attack and with the help of Electric Terrain, its game over'' Lorelei looked at Julian but Julian was just standing still and looking at her to make her next move. Lorelei ''How can I win against him? I just have to continue I guess, I hope Cloyster isn''t still paralyzed'' Lorelei "Go Cloyster" As soon as Cloyster came inside the battlefield, its body was zapped by electricity, the Paralyzed effect was still not gone and due to Electric Terrain, it red up causing additional damage. Julian "Looks like your Cloyster will not be able to continue, I think you should call it back" Lorelei didn''t know what to do, she hoped Cloyster''s Paralyzed effect was gone but it red up more. The Referee looked at Lorelei and said. Referee "If you call back Cloyster now, it will be counted as a loss" Lorelei was now put in a dilemma. Lorelei ''What should I do, if I call back Cloyster I will only have one pokemon left but will Cloyster even be able to battle in such state. I think I should call him back, I don''t want him to be seriously injured just for a battle'' Lorelei "I understand, Cloyster return" Referee "Cloyster is unable to battle, Electivire wins" Julian "I am impressed, as expected of a member of elite four, you care about your pokemons more than a victory" Lorelei "A true trainer is a person who looks after his partner no matter the situation so I did what I need to do" Julian "Indeed, you are right. You gained my respect" Lorelei "You can save that forter, I am still not finished with you" Julian just smiled after hearing this. Julian "Then we should Continue" Lorelei "Its gonna be the toughest battle ever, go Lapras" Lorelei "Fill the stadium with Ice" Lapras enters the battlefield and covers it with Ice using Ice Beam, Electivire dodges the Ice Beam as the ground gets covered by thickyer of Ice, but it slowly started to melt due to Electric Terrain still in effect but its gonna take time topletely melt away. Julian ''Using Electric Terrain to create water from Ice, if she did this I probably think that her Lapras has Hydration or Water Observe ability, mostly Hydration. Well this is really a risky move from her doesn''t she know water conduct electricity'' Julian "Electivire use Electro Balls" Electivire gets a grip with his legs and creates multiple Electro Balls as they start to revolve around him, this move is as same as Gengars Shadow Balls. Electivireunches them towards Lapras with super speed. Lorelei "Lapras counter with Ice Shards" Lapras also sends out Ice Shards but these whererges and faster and more in quantity than her Cloyster''s, the Ice Shards collided with those Electro Balls, Ice Shards were sent shattering but they were many in numbers causing the Electro Balls to defuse as well after some time. Julian "Giga Impact" Lorelei "Protect" Electivire tares through the air as his Giga Impact ispletely made of high voltage lightning, Electivire rips through the sound barrier and ms onto Lapras. The Protective shield shatters but Lapras is safe but it still gets zapped a little due to water being everywhere, Electivire is pushed back from the bacsh, Electivire does a backflip and slides back while maintaining his bnce with his hand and knee. Julian "Bring down Thunder" The ck clouds form and Lightning strikes down towards Lapras. Lorelei "Hyper Beam" Lapras uses its full power and aims up and sends out a huge Hyper Beam towards the iing Lightning, the moves collide and causes a huge explosion in mid-air, the sound of the explosion nearly caused everyone to go deaf, everyone in the stadium covered their ears as they watched these moves sh. The Lightning then finally tore through the Hyper Beam and struck down on Lapras, Lapras was zapped and got injured, due to the Hyper Beam its power was brought down. Lapras who was injured slowly started to heal due to its Hydration ability. Julian ''As I expected Hydration, well its time to end this, I don''t want to continue this'' Julian "Let''s end this, Electivire Giga Impact" Electivire charged with full speed towards Lapras ripping through the sound barrier. Lorelei "Yes, let''s end this, Zap Canon" Lapras suddenly created a huge ball made of powerful electricity, Zap Cannon is one of the strongest Electric-type moves and with Electric Terrain in effect, it was now more powerful. Electivire crashed into the huge Zap Cannon and BOOM. The Explosion ripped the ground beneath them to shreds, the ice went flying everywhere, the walls around the stadium cracked just from the shock wave, the crowd was safe as they were protected by ayer of forcefield. The whole battlefield was covered with a cloud of smoke which was clearing slowly when the smoke was cleared everyone saw it, Lapras was down knocked out and Electivire was on one Knee and had a grin on his face. Referee "Lapras is unable to Battle, Electivire wins. The winner of this battle is Julian" Announcer "Its over, Julian defeated Lorelei the member of Elite four, indicating he is as strong as them. So his next battle will be against Bruno the fighting type expert of the Elite four until then stay tuned" Lorelei looked at her Lapras who was knocked out and called her back. Lorelei "You did well, now take a good rest" Julian walked towards her and extended his hand. Julian "Lorelei that was a good battle" Lorelei looked at Julian then smiled and shook his hand. Lorelei "Indeed" Julian then took his leave with Electivire who walked proudly taking huge strides, Julian just smiled seeing this. Julian "Next is Bruno, let''s see what that battle freak will put on the table" Chapter 79 - Shadow Legion Inside the huge room, the three members of the Elite four watched the whole battle and all of them were silent. Lance "It''s going to be hard for us to get a victory over him, not only is his Snox but his other pokemons are also stronger" ?? Agatha "Indeed, it looks like there will be a new Champion soon" Bruno "Shit, I have to battle him next, I have to start training" Bruno gets up and dashes away leaving behind Lance and Agatha. Agatha "You should also train harder and try too" Agatha also gets up and walks away slowly, Lance stays behind and looks at Julian on the screen. Lance "Julian..... My greatest opponent, I am waiting" Lance also leaves the room as well leaving the room empty, after some time a worker enters the room to collect the tes on the table as he does that he bends down and detach a voice recorder under the table and puts it in his pocket and leaves silently. Somewhere in the Hoenn region inside a thick forest filled with trees everywhere, a man could be seen walking wearing a brown uniform with an ''L'' written on it, he walks for a while andes near a rock and ces his hand upon it, soon a bright light glows and a small square hole appears on it then a number pad emerges from the whole, the man enters a passcode and soon the ground near the rock slowly rises up revealing a staircase. The man quickly goes inside as the rock and the ground turn back to their original state. The man enters an elevator which takes him downwards when the elevator door opens he steps out and enters a long hallway, there are some mechanical doors on the side of the hallway as few people wearing the same uniform as this man could be seen entering and exiting through these doors. The man walks forward and enters a room which is at the left end of the hallway, as soon as he enters the people present in the room look at him, a man with ck hair looks at him and asks a question. "What is the purpose of your visit? Marcus" Marcus "The Agent from Kanto has sent a voice file, he didn''t want the IP of this ce to be found so he sent it to the side branch" The man with ck hair nodded and signaled Marcus to follow him, soon Marcus was taken to a secret passage which leads to a room, right in front of the door a woman with red hair wearing a brown uniform waiting, when Marcus looked at her with his eyes filled with lust. Marcus "Chloe I didn''t expect to see you today, care to join for a drink tonight?" Chloe looked at Marcus with a disgusted expression Chloe "Disgusting pig" Chloepletely ignored Marcus and turned around. Marcus "Y...You?" Marcus was really pissed hearing Chloe, he had tried to court her before but she always rejected him, once he even tried to **** her but he got his ribspletely fractured by her. From then onwards Marcus didn''t see her at all until today. Marcus ''Just you wait, I will make you my bitch one day'' The man standing next to Marcus shook his head in disappointment after seeing Marcus acting like this, Marcus was a disgrace but he received backing from one of the leaders, so he acted high and mighty. Soon the door opened and ady wearing sses and ck coat walked out with files in her hand, "Chloe, Marcus both of you can enter" she said and walked away with the man with ck hair, Chloe and Marcus entered the room and saw a man, he had brown hair and a deep scar running down his face, sitting on his chair as he yed with a Mega Stone in his hand. "Chloe you did great, with all the data you have brought, we will definitely seed but it will take time" Chloe just stays silent and nods her head, the man then looks at Marcus. "What is your purpose toe here?" Marcus "Boss the agent we sent to spy on the elite four of Kanto has sent an audio file" The Man looked at Marcus for a second then continued. "What does it say?" Marcus "I have not heard it" "y it right now" Marcus takes out an audio yer and ys the audio, Chloe, Marcus and the Man hear Bruno, Agatha, and Lance talking about Julian. After hearing the full clip the man in the chair clinches his hand. "This cannot happen, Kanto should not have a champion until the Jhoto League finishes or our n will be doomed, if this guy named Julian is as strong as they have described it will be a lot of trouble, we cannot allow another champion to join the leaguemittee, the league has already noticed our presence. If this Julian bes a champion the League will gain another powerhouse and will definitely raid us, we have to stop him right now" Chloe who heard this was shaken from inside, she thought about a certain person she met in Kanto and promised him that she wille back to him, now hearing this person called Julian going to be a champion she prayed that this person was not the one she met. Chloe ''Julian I hope this is not you, please wait for me a little longer I wille to you as soon as possible'' Even though Chloe was shaken from the inside she didn''t show her emotions on her face. The Man on the chair banged his desk in anger "You may leave" he yelled. Marcus, seeing that his boss was angry quickly ran away, Chloe stayed behind and looked at her boss, The Man looked at her and frowned "Why are you not leaving?" Chloe "Boss, I want to quit" The Man frowned after listening to her "Why?" Chloe "As per rules of our organization, if a personpletes a certain number of missions he/she is allowed to leave the organization. I have alreadypleted the required amount so I want to quit" "Why don''t you continue I will promote you into a higher position" Chloe "Boss, I want to live a normal life" The man''s frown got deeper "Do you know that you have to follow some rules after quitting" Chloe "Yes, I cannot reveal any information about our organization to anyone, or only death awaits me" "I see, you already know what will happen, Ok I ept your resignation but first you have toplete a crucial mission. Only afterpleting will you be allowed to leave, if you try to escape I will send people to kill you" Chloe grits her teeth hearing his response. Chloe "But?" "No buts, you only have two options, one is toplete this mission, second is to die or continue working for me" Chloe is now in a dilemma, but she finally makes a decision. Chloe "Ok, I ept the mission" "Good, you can go now, the details of this mission will be sent to you" Chloe walks away leaving the man behind when the door closes he ps his hand and suddenly a man in a ck dress appears in front of him, this man is his personal bodyguard and does all his dirty works. "Go to Kanto and kill this guy named Julian" "Yes sir" The man in ck quickly disappears from his sight, The Man sitting on the chair looks at the Mega Stone in his hand as thoughts run through his mind. "I won''t let a single person ruin my Shadow Legion". Chloe walks towards her office only to find Marcus there. Marcus "Come on Chloe, I was just joking that day how about I take you out for a dinner as an apology" Chloe is not in a good mood right now and seeing Marcus made her angrier. Chloe "Listen, you disgusting pig, if you ever talk to me again I will rip your tongue out of your mouth" Marcus suddenly felt his throat going dry and quickly runs away leaving behind Chloe, she looks towards the direction of Kanto. Chloe ''Julian I hope you are doing fine''. Chapter 80 - Assassin After three days from the incident happening in Shadow Legion headquarters, we are back to Kanto Julian is currently looking at the stock market details, he had received some information from Jimi about the current stock market and investment methods. After doing some research he finally turns off hisputer and sighs. Julian "If things go as Jimi said, it will be great" ?? He gets up and walks out of his room to get some fresh air, he covered his face with sunsses and a scarf as the hotel he was staying always had eyes staring at it, reporters would be in disguise to take photos of him or any Elite four member they see. After sessfully escaping from them Julian hops onto his bike and rides of to the near hill site, when he reached there he saw a herd of Tauros running around scaring the pokemons which came in their way, he takes a deep breath and releases his pokemons so that they could walk around as well, heid down on the grass and closed his eyes, he eventually fell asleep after sometimes he started to dream, he saw two crystal revolving around one was green and another was blue. He suddenly woke up after seeing these crystals, he felt a little dizzy when he suddenly heard a beep in his head. System ''Host has sensed something rted to of the future'' Julian ''Future? how far is it?'' System ''Future timeline cannot be predicted'' Julian shook his head and thought about these two crystals he just has seen. Julian ''I don''t remember seeing these two crystals or have I, why would I see them?'' Julian was lost in thoughts, after spending his day walking around the hillside and training his pokemons he finally decided to go back, as he was about to leave he sensed someone watching him from behind a tree, he extended his Omniforce towards that tree to sense a man standing behind it, he had a gun in his hand, Julian was surprised by this. Julian ''An Assassin, and it looks like he is here for my life. Who could it be that I have offended? could it be Giovanni, It might be him but let''s not jump into spections so soon'' Julian crouched down and pretended he hasn''t noticed anything, he picked up a small pebble and rolled it a few times between his fingers, then suddenly he stood up and throw the pebble with full speed towards the tree, the pebble went straight through the tree and hit the assassin''s hand which was holding the gun, his wrist got instantly dislocated as he screamed in pain and rolled around the ground. Julian slowly approached the assassin, he lifted the gun then he crouched near the assassin who was holding his wrist and gritting his teeth. Julian pointed the gun at his head and pulled the rear sight of the gun to load the bullet into the barrel. Julian "Tell me who sent you, if not it won''t be your hand but your head" The assassin got scared not just because of a gun pointed at his head but because he felt suffocated by an unknown fear which sent chills down his spine so he told Julian everything he knew. Assassin "I am just a contract killer, I was given money by a man in a ck suit to assassinate you that''s all, I don''t know anything about him." Julian believed what he said as he had put the pressure on his soul itself so he couldn''t lie. Julian ''So somebody is behind my life and is very careful about it, this man in a ck suit cannot be the mastermind, there is someone above him who gave the order, looks like I have to wait for him, I don''t want to go search for him myself let hime to me'' Julian then looked at the assassin who was still scared. Julian ''If it was my old self I would have killed him right now but I am not the person from my past'' Julian ced his hand on the assassins head and sent a wave which knocked the man unconscious, Julian had erased his memory of him every meeting him and also about the contract the man in the ck suit assigned him. Julian then walked away leaving the assassin behind. Julian ''I could havepletely changed his mind and put him on a good path but I didn''t, who knows how many people he has killed, if my guess is right he will be killed by the man in the ck suit so I don''t have to worry about my hands getting stained by blood'' Julian returns back to his hotel but hets swarmed by reporters as he hadpletely forgotten about them, after escaping from them he finally entered his room and took a deep breath. Julian ''I hate these reporters, this is really a downside for bing famous'' He then walks to hisputer and surfs the inte to search about his next opponent Bruno, after researching for a while he finally takes a rest. Julian ''Bruno and Fighting-type expert, his teams main pokemons are Hitmontop, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Onix, and Machamp. He also has a Poiwrath and Golem but they are not his strongest pokemon. His main and strongest Pokemon is his Machamp, to uses Onix to counter against trainers who using Flying types and keeps his team bnced.'' Julian thinks about it for a while then decided the pokemons he will use against Bruno, as the days goes by he eagerly waits for his next battle. Chapter 81 - Gengar The Spy. At a residence near Julian''s hotel, a man in the ck suit was speaking to someone on the phone. Man in the ck suit "Boss the Assassination attempt has failed, the target is tougher than we think, I think we should retreat for now" ?? The person on the other side of the phone is the leader of the Shadow nation, he has a frown on his face as he hears the report "Do as you wish and don''t reveal anything if you get caught" Man in ck Suit "Yes Boss" He puts the phone back inside his pocket and looks at a man tied down on a chair beaten badly. Man in ck Suit ''Looks like he really doesn''t remember anything, but how is that possible? I have to look into this myself'' After thinking for a while the man walks away leaving behind the unconscious assassin. Somewhere in the Hoenn region Chloe is surfing the inte and seeing Julian''s photos everywhere. Chloe ''It really is you, I hope you will be safe until Ie to you'' She sighs and looks down and pats the head of her Pokemon. Chloe "Let''s go Smence" Smance carries her and flies away into the sky. Back to Julian, he is enjoying his day, resting and eating. Julian "There is still two days for the next battle no need to tense up" Julianys down in the hot water bath and closes his eyes taking a rxing breath in. Julian "Life is so much better this way" But his peaceful dayes to an end because he hears a knock on his door. Julian ''Who could it be?'' Julian dries himself and wears a robe and walks towards the door to open it when he opens the door he sees an old man wearing a butler uniform, the old man bowed down and hands him a cell phone, Julian looks at this old man for a while and takes the phone. Julian "Who is this?" "Julian, I heard you are a very good trainer and you are young, you don''t want to lose all that don''t you?" Hearing this Julian burst out ofughter. Julian "Are you the one who assigned the Assassin or the one who ordered my Assassination? Well, my guess is that you might be the big boss aren''t you?" "You really are someone I cannot kill so easily, how about we forget about this incident and be partners" Julian "I have no interest in bing partners with any crime syndicate but I am curious about your purpose for my Assassination attempt" "Since you already know I will tell you, stop right here, quit your ascension of being champion or only death awaits you" Julian "Ho, so you sent assassins just for such a petty reason, jokes on you because I never wanted to be a champion I was challenging them for fun, but now seeing how you targeted me I am going to destroy your organization and leave nothing behind, don''t think that you can hide forever I have my ways to find you guys" Julian crushed the cell phone on his hand and looked at the old man in front of him, the Old man just stayed still there the whole conversation, after that, he bowed once again and walked away. Julian looks at him for a while and closes the door. Julian ''There is a crime syndicate other than the once I have seen or heard, and they did a grave mistake by interfering in my peaceful life, I am going to bring hell upon them'' Julian brings our Gengar to do some investigation. Julian "Gengar follow the old man which was just outside and see who he meets and what he does" Gengar nods and disappears from his sight. Julian "Now let''s just wait and rx" Gengar followed the Old man while he was invisible, at first Gengar didn''t notice anything noteworthy about this old man, he was going around the hotel doing his job as other workers but it didn''t take long when it was dusk the old man started to act suspiciously, he would look around and try to see if anyone was spying or following him around, after finding no one was on his tail, he changed from his uniform to a casual dress and went out. Gengar followed behind the old man and they entered a residence near the hotel, the old man knocked five times which followed a rhythm, soon the door opened and a man in the ck suit was seen inviting the Old man inside, Gengar also phased through a wall and started to listen to them. Man in Suit "How was their conversation?" Old Man "I didn''t want to get involved in this shady business of you and your boss but I owe him a favor and this is all I will do" Man in Suit "I know that Old man, now tell me what happened?" Old Man "The Young manughed at your boss mocking him, I think you guys should hide, that Young man is no joke, he even dered that he will bring down your syndicate for trying to assassinate him" Man in Suit "Does he think he can take on a whole Syndicate single-handedly?" Old Man "I don''t know and I don''t care, tell Brad that this was the final favor now I owe nothing to him, Go back to Hoenn and stay low I don''t know what will happen to you if you stay here in Kanto, I am disappointed in you, I thought you will serve your region with the skills I thought you but you were just another delusional minded person blinded by power and greed, take care Simon" The Old man walks away leaving behind the Simon (The Man in the ck suit) as he looks at the old man''s back. Simon "Even if you were my teacher you didn''t give me anything but now I have money and power and that''s all that I need" The Old man didn''t reply and walked away, Gengar looked at the Old man than Simon, he looked around this ce and found some knives and guns around after that Gengar went back to Julian to tell him what happened. When Gengar reached Julian''s room he sent his memory directly to Julian, this was another function of Julian''s power, to see the thoughts and memory of a person or Pokemon if they wanted to show him, he could obviously force someone to read their mind but that would cause mental injury to them so Julian refined from using this method. After looking through Gengar''s thoughts Julian learned few new things. Julian ''So the big boss of this Syndicate''s name is Brad and that Man in the ck suit is Simon and it looks like they are from Hoenn'' Julian thinks for a while about this. Julian ''Hoenn, I n to go there anyway but it will take time until then I will let them do what they are up to but first I should visit this Simon, let''s see what new information he can provide me'' When night fell Julian walked out of the hotel and went to the residence he saw in Gengar''s thoughts, he went near the door and knocked the door five times with the same rhythm the old man used. Simon who was having a smoke hearing the knock was startled. Simon "Why is the old man visiting now?" He went and opened the door only to meet a super-fast punch right to his face, he didn''t even have the time to react and was knocked out coldly. After some time he woke up and found himself tied up to a chair and in front of him was Julian who was holding a water bottle in his hand. Julian "Did you have a good rest, Simon?" Simon red angrily at Julian. Simon "You think I will speak a word to you, even if you torture me I won''t open my mouth" Julian "You got me all wrong Simon, I am not a type of person to torture and I know for a fact that you will answer every question I ask without any resistance" After five minutes Julian walked out of the room while drinking soda which he took from the house''s fridge, back in the residence Simon was out cold as Julian had erased his memories of their meeting. Julian ''So they are an underworld Syndicate and their main base is in Hoenn, they also have side branches in other regions as well but they aren''t active at all, they only start working when received themand from the main headquarters. Brad is the big boss alongside four others who are as strong as a region''s Champion'' After thinking for a while Julian gets it. Julian ''I see if another Champion is crowned the imbnce and advantage they have against the Leaguemittee will be broken and endangering their Syndicate, so they tried to assassinate me so that it never happens, but there is still something missing, what is the purpose of this Syndicate and what are they looking for?'' Julian walks back to his hotel room andys down on his bed. Julian ''Let''s not think about it so much, I will see what happens when I visit Hoenn'' Chapter 82 - Julian VS Bruno (1) The waiting was finally over for Julian as he would face Bruno today, he could see the crowd gathering in front of the Indigo Stadium from his hotel room. Julian ''Hmm, wonder how today''s battle gonna go'' ?? As he was thinking he heard the doorbell ringing, he opened the door to see ady room service bringing his breakfast, he soon ate it and got ready for his battle. He walked out to find a few reporters camping around the hotel so he had to sneak out silently, after entering the stadium through the back door he sighed with relief. Julian ''No matter which world it is, these reporters are really the most annoying people around'' He started to walk towards the waiting room to wait for the battle announcement as he was about to reach he met someone in the hallway, it was Agatha walking slowly. Julian saw her and smiled and nodded his head a little and walked passed her, he also noticed a pair of eyes in her shadow staring at him, Julian looked at these pair of eyes and waved his hand and walked away, soon he entered his waiting room. Agatha "Looks like he was able to notice you as well, we have to be careful in our battle" Agatha said as a Gengar came out of her shadow and smiled ear to ear while nodding its head. Back to Julian, he sat down on a chair and closed his eyes to clear his mind of any foreign thoughts. Julian ''Her Gengar was really well hidden, if not for the Omniforce I wouldn''t have noticed at all, she is going to be a good opponent''. Time passes and Julian is signaled to get ready for the entrance. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls we are back at it again, a pokemon battle which will keep you at the edge of your seats, today''s battle is going to be a big one, on one side we have Bruno the member of the elite four and on the other side we have the fan favorite Julian. Both of them are exceptional trainers, one is a Fighting-type trainer and the other is an allrounder. Now get up from your seats and let''s wee them" The Announcer calls in both Julian and Bruno as they enter the battlefield, Julian enters the battlefield and sees his opponent Bruno a tall strong man with exposed upper body and spiky ck hair. Julian "You should have put on some clothes, I don''t want to see a half naked man in front of me" Bruno looks at Julian for a while. Bruno "I prefer to battle like this, this way I can connect with my pokemons" Julian ''Looks like he won''t get swayed by trash talk, well its better this way'' Soon the referee enters the battlefield, this time he is wearing protective gears all over his body. Referee "This is going to be a Four on Four battle as per requested by the Elite Four member Bruno. The rules are simple the trainer who loses all four of his pokemons first will lose" He pauses for a second and looks at Julian and Bruno as they nod their head indicating they understood him. Referee "Trainer Julian, ready?" Julian nods his head. Referee "Elite Four member Bruno, ready?" Bruno "Yes" Referee "Then let the battle begin" The referee waves the two g in his hand indicating the start of the battle. Bruno "Go Hitmonchan show him how to battle" Hitmonchan enters the battlefield and takes a defensive boxing stand from the start Julian ''A defensive fighter'' Julian "Go Pidgeot" Pidgeot also enters the battlefield as he ps his wings and maintains a distance from his opponent. Bruno "Being in the air won''t help you at all, Hitmonchan use Agility then Bulk Up" Hitmonchan used status moves to increase its speed, attack, and defense. Bruno "Now Jump and use Mach Punch" Hitmonchan jumped high up in the air towards Pidgeot and tried to deliver an uppercut using Mach punch but missed as Pidgeot easily dodged it by moving to the side, Hitmonchannded back on the ground rolled back and took a boxing stance again. Julian ''It really knows how to jump but what''s the use of jumping when it cannot change direction in mid-air, I don''t know what he is thinking looks like he is just like Ash just does what he feels like will work, and that Hitmonchan is really good at attacking as well, I have to make sure that Pidgeot doesn''t get hit by it multiple times'' Julian "Pidgeot Air Cutters" Pidgeot sents out multiple sharp Air des towards Hitmonchan. Bruno "Hitmonchan dodge them" Himonchan uses its legs to do simple hoping movement and dodges the barrage of Air cutters, its movements are simr to a boxer hoping and skipping around. Julian ''Really nice form but it''s not gonna help'' Julian "Hurricane" Pidgeot starts to p his wings as the airspeed starts to increase all of a sudden and forms a huge tornado which starts to pull everything inside it. Bruno "Hitmonchan use Stone Edge" Hitmonchan uses stone edge and huge rock pirs emerge from the ground. Bruno "Now hold on to them until it stops" Hitmonchan quickly gets between two rocks and holds its ground as the Hurricanees closer and closer, the rock pirs start to vibrate by the pressure of the Hurricane but they are still sturdy, Hitmonchan strengthens its grip and holds on tightly. Julian ''It is indeed a good technique to not get sucked inside the Hurricane but how will they escape it tortures winds and flying pebbles'' Soon the Hurricanees over the rock pebble, Hutmonchan is now inside the Hurricane trying its best to hold up but it looks futile, the wind speed is extream as it starts to shake Hitmonchan for the pirs but Hitmonchan holds on not giving up, but it doesn''t end there soon the small stone pebbles started to hit Hitmonchan, each and every one of them are traveling at wind speed and hit Hitmonchan causing it to feel pain all over its body, these stone pebble even where able to sessfully able to put multiple cracks on these rock pirs, if this continues Hitmonchan will be out for good but it was quite lucky as the Hurricane stopped revealing Hitmonchan as it huffed its chest in and out taking in arge amount of air. Bruno "Hitmonchan are you alright?" Hitmonchan nods and looks back at Pidgeot. Julian "Let''s end this Wing Attack" Pidgeot rushes down towards Hitmonchan with full speed as his wings glow to deliver the final blow, Bruno just looks as if he is waiting for a perfect moment, Julian notices Bruno''s behavior and warns Pidgeot telepathically, as Pidgeot was just meters away from Hitmonchan Bruno takes action. Bruno "Now Counter" Hitmonchan quickly makes a subtle movement and moves away from Pidgeot''s path and moves in for a powerful punch, since Julian had already noticed it he was ready for it. Julian [Now do a spin and grab its hand and m it on the ground using its own speed] As the punch was about to deliver to Pidgeot, he did a sudden spin and escaped the punch but it was not over, as Pidgeot was upside down this current moment he used his ws and grabbed onto Hitmonchan''s arm and turned around, sudden lifting Hitmonchan from the ground and mming it onto the ground, Julian didn''t want to waste this chance. Julian "Finish this, Brave Bird" Pidgeot quickly took air and dived down as his body was covered in blue energy and mmed directly onto the struggling Hitmonchan which sent it rolling back towards Bruno and knocked out. Bruno didn''t even have the time to give anymand as it was all over in a few seconds. Bruno "That was really a fine battle, you did well" Bruno called back his Hitmonchan and looked at Julian. Bruno "That was really something I have never seen before, looks like I have to step up my game" Bruno takes out a Pokeball and pointed it towards Julian. Bruno "I have just a perfect opponent for you Pidgeot, Go Onix" An Onix entered the battlefield but this Onix was really different, it was big, bigger than any normal Onix standing 10 meters tall, it had a scar on its face from its right eyes to its nose. Julian ''That''s really a huge Onix, its actually close to my Gyarados size or maybe a little smaller, Gyarados has grown a little bigger recently''. Chapter 83 - Julian VS Bruno (2) The 10 meters tall Onix stares at Pidgeot with an intense gaze as it is ready to battle at any moment. Bruno "Onix Harden, then use Rock Throw" ?? Oxin body shined as its defense went up and it created multiple rocks andunched it towards Pidgeot with full speed. Pidgeot dodged them but it was harder than it seemed, the path of the rocks where very random and unpredictable, it was due to Pidgeot''s speed and keen eyes ability that it was able to see the iing rocks. Julian ''This Onix is stronger than I expected, its control over its element is also good, it would make a fine Steelix by using a metal coat'' Julian "Pidgeot use Sand Attack" Pidgeot starts to p his wings causing the sand on the ground to rising and create a cloud of dust and disappearing from Onix''s vision, as Onix was huge it could clearly see the sky and the area near its head level but couldn''t see the ground which was covered by sand cloud. Pidgeot maintained a low level and kept himself away from Onix''s eyes. Julian [Steel Wing] Julian gave a telepathic message to Pidgeot and Pidgeot did the exact as he sneaked behind and attacked Onix with multiple steel wings as Onix roared in pain. Bruno noticed this and quickly took action. Bruno "Onix get underground" Onix dived down and disappeared into the ground. Julian "Pidgeot take the sky" Pidgeot came out of his hiding and soared high to the sky. Bruno "Now Rock Throw" Onix came out from the ground and sent multiple Rocks towards Pidgeot who was still flying straight up, seeing little to no chance of escaping this attack Julian decided to go full assault. Julian "Pidgeot dive down spinning using steel wing" Pidgeot did a free fall and got into position and started to spin rapidly using steel wing, the spinning Pidgeot looked like a drilling down at full speed. Pidgeot and the Rocks shed in mid-air, rocks went shattering one after another but Pidgeot was also slowed down. Bruno "Now Tackle" Onix coiled its body thenunched itself towards Pidgeot who wasing down towards it, both of them finally shed in mid-air and Pidgeot was sent flying back up and half of Onix''s body crashed on the ground. Julian "Pidgeot get into position and use Feather Dance" Pidgeot who was sent flying up adjusted himself in mid-air and shook his wings causing multiple glowing feathers to fall down, few of them toughed Onix and reduced its Attack power. Julian "Brave Bird" Bruno "Iron Head" Pidgeot dived down with full speed as his body was surrounded by blue energy mes, Onix also coiled its body as its head glowed, it was ready to pounce using Iron Head at any moment, the waiting was over as Pidgeot and Onix shed again, this time the impact was massive, the shock wave caused the air in the surrounding to distort, and the explosion left behind blinded everyone by its light, soon everybody saw both Pidgeot and Onix tired and scratched all over their body. Julian "Let''s end this Steel Wing" Pidgeot glided down as his wings glow as it reflected the sun rays of it, soon he was near Onix. Bruno "Now Bind" Julian "Now Finish it" As soon as Onix moved its body to Bind Pidgeot, Pidgeot did a sharp turn and came close to its head andunched a Hyper Beam at point nk range sending Onix crashing down on the ground and causing it to faint. Referee "Onix is Unable to battle Pidgeot Wins" Announcer "Onix is down, but Pidgeot also looks very exhausted it was really a hard fought battle" Julian had already informed Pidgeot to use Hyper Beam if there was a countering at them and seeing Onix try to Bind it Pidgeotunched his Hyper Beam at its face, after this attack Pidgeot is also very tired as he struggled to fly so he went andnded near Julian. Julian patted his head "You really were awesome out there" Bruno looked at his Onix who was unconscious and then looked at Julian. Bruno "I didn''t expect your Pidgeot to be this strong" Julian "Your Onix was also very powerful" Julian then looked at Pidgeot as he breathes heavily as it was exhausted by battling, seeing this Julian knew Pidgeot cannot continue anymore so he gave him a pokepuff and sent him back to his Pokeball. Bruno "Let continue this, Go Hitmontop" Julian "Infernape let''s go" Both Pokemon enter the field and stare at each other, both of them are Fighting types so the tension builds up as they look at each other. Bruno "Let''s see how well does your Infernape know how to fight, Close Combat" Julian "Counter with Close Combat" Hitmontop jumps and gets onto its head and starts to spin rapidly and blots towards Infernape, Infernape takes a stance and he uses his legs as springs andunch himself towards Hitmontop with full speed, as they get close to each other Infernape makes the first move andunches a straight left towards Hitmontop, Hitmontop counters it by using its legs while spinning clockwise and deflected Infernape punch, Infernape doesn''t waste the momentum and spins counterclockwise and delivers a roundhouse kick to its body and sends Hitmontop rolling on the ground. Bruno ''That kick would have been fatal if itnded on Hitmontop''s head, he should be careful'' Bruno "Hitmontop, be careful don''t lose your ground" Hitmontop who is sent rolling gets back to its feet by spinning back to its feet as it holds onto its stomach where the kick was delivered, Hitmontop againunches itself towards Infernape as it spins and its legs starts to glow, it was trying to use Mega Kick on Infernape, Infernape stood his ground and waited for Hitmontop to get closer, as soon as Hitmontop got closer Infernape jumped high up avoiding Hitmontop andunched a Focus Punch downwards, Hitmontop escaped it by an inch but the power behind the punch caused the ground to shatter like a spiderweb and Hitmontop suddenly got its pointy head stuck in one of the cracks and tumbled and fell while losing its spin, Infernape took this chance and bolted towards Hitmontop. Bruno "Hitmontop quick use Substitute" Hitmontop suddenly created a dummy and hid behind it as Infenape came closer and delivered a Focus Punch sting away the Substitute into pieces. Bruno "Now Quick attack using Double Team" Hitmontop quickly creates some distance then creates multiple images of itself as they all rush towards Infernape using quick attack. Julian "Burn everything methrower" Infernape takes a deep breath and spits burning mes which goes right through every duplicate Hitmontop and finally hits the real one sending it flying backward then suddenly the Burning effect takes ce causing mes to erupt out of Hitmontop''s body as it falls down on the groundpletely knocked out. Referee "Hitmontop is unable to battle Infernape wins" Bruno looks at his Hitmontop''s state and sighs. Bruno ''That Infernape was way above Hitmontop''s league, it didn''t stand a chance from the start. Looks like I only have one option now'' Bruno "Go Machamp" A Machamp enters the battlefield and looks at its opponent. Bruno "Machamp be careful and don''t let your guard down, this might be your toughest battle ever" Machamp nods its head as it starts to flex its four arms around and gets into position. Bruno "Use Dual Chop" Machamp moves forward and attacks Infernape with Dual Chop. Julian "Counter it with your own" Infernape alsounches himself towards Machamp as both of them collide using Dual Chop and the next moment Infernape takes the lead as he sends Machamp a few meters backward. Bruno "Wrestle it down with your strength" Machamp takes a step forward to grab Infernape but its too slow, Infernape easily dodges the iing arm then suddenly sends a Thunder Punch to its Stomach as sends Machamp crashing through the ground. Bruno "Machamp get up then use Brick Break" Julian "Finish this using Close Combat" Machamp goes forwards to deliver a Brick Break but due to its slow speed Infernape dodges again then he uses Mach punch and delivers an Uppercut to Machamp''s jaw sending it flying up in the sky, Infernape follow by jumping up and grabs onto Machamp''s back and delivers a german suplex to it as ites crashing down to the ground with its back first, it doesn''t end there as Infernape continues its assault as he uses mewheel to directlynd on Machamp''s body then he grabs Machamp''s leg and taus it up in the air and delivers a knee to its stomach using ze Kick sending it higher into the sky. Infernapends then take a stance and create an orange ming ball between his hands andunch a powerful Focusst at the falling Machamp and send it crashing towards the wall and nts it deep inside it. Bruno didn''t even have a chance to give amand as Infernape didn''t let Machamp to even take a breath and pummeled it until it fainted. Referee "Machamp is unable to battle, Infernape wins. The winner of this battle is Julian" Announcer "It''s over another Elite four member falls in front of Julian" The crowd burst into cheers as they shout Julian''s name, Infernape walks back towards Julian as he pats his head. Julian "Good Job buddy" Bruno stays still the whole time as he had never expected his strongest pokemon to be manhandled so easily by his opponent, he also realized his biggest w, he always trained his pokemons strength leaving themcking in other fields, he had never experienced this kind of lose in his lifetime as his pokemons always overpowered his opponents but this time it waspletely different. Bruno ''Machamp couldn''t even touch Infernape as it was too slow, on the other hand, Infernape was both powerful and fast so it easily overpowered my Machamp'' Bruno called back Machamp then walked towards Julian. Bruno "It is my loss, I hope you continue this winning streak" Julian shook his hand and nodded as he walked away. Announcer "And today''s evenes to an end see you all next time" Chapter 84 - Green Crystal In the Hoenn region, LaRousse City, Chole is currently dressed in a whiteb coat and is trying to sneak into a scientific facility. Chloe ''What is this thing that the boss wants me to steal, I just hope that it won''t bring any harm to the innocents'' ?? After cautiously sneaking around the facility she finally reaches an empty corridor and opposite to her is a big steel door blocking her path. Chloe ''Looks like that thing is inside here'' Chloe walks forwards and unlocked the door using a key card she stole from a scientist, the door opened slowly and she walked in to see hugeputers and monitors monitoring radio waves and other stuff, she walked a little further and found what she was looking for, it was a green oval-shaped crystal which was stuck to a piece of rock. Chloe ''So this is that thing which was found in that meteorite which crashed four years ago, what could it be?'' She wondered as she looked at this otherworldly crystal in a piece of meteorite. Chloe ''Whatever it is I should quickly take this thing back to the headquarters'' Chloe approached the ss tube which holds the crystal, she took out a pen-like device and cut a hole using it on the ss tube, when she touched the crystal to take it away, it shed with bright green light causing the surroundings to be covered with nothing but green light, nothing could be seen and the next moment when the light was gone Chloe had disappeared from the roompletely with no trace of her left behind but the green crystal was still there as if it was not touched at all. Back to Kanto Julian was doing his usual stuff, training, eating, sleeping, unaware of what had happened to his lover. Julian ''What do I do after I defeat everyone and be the champion, should I go to Jhoto? Naaa Jhoto doesn''t seem too interesting, The Elite four there can''t give me any excitement, I have already defeated Bruno and he is one of the Jhoto''s elite four, Koga became the Elite four of Jhoto recently and I have already defeated him, leaving Will and Karen they both are decent but still I think Agatha and Lance are way stronger than them so its pointless'' After thinking for a while Julian finally came to a conclusion. Julian ''I think I should stay behind till the events of the Hoenn starts and build a good foundation for mypany so that it would do well even in my absence'' After deciding his future ns he went outside to have his dinner. Julian "So much thinking made me quite hungry, I feel like eating some heavy meal today" Julian walked inside the restaurant to find Bruno sitting on a table and munching down rapidly, seeing this Julian tried to escape but he was out of luck as Bruno noticed him and waved his hand. Bruno "Oye, Juliane here and have a drink with me" Julian didn''t want to disrespect him so he joined Bruno to a drink. Since this was an expensive restaurant who only allowed VIP to enter there were not many people inside, only a few rich people who were busy doing their business. Julian took a seat and poured himself a ss of wine. Bruno "What are you doing?" Julian was startled by this sudden question Julian "What?" Bruno "You are drinking wine? Wine is for sissies, real men drink beer. Since you defeated me you are a real man so you should drink beer" Julian looked at Bruno if he was looking at an idiot. Julian ''If he drinks beer instead of wine, why is there a wine bottle on your table?'' He didn''t want to get bothered by this so he didn''t ask Bruno about it and continued to drink his wine Julian "Don''t worry about it, I thought of drinking wine today" Bruno "Suit yourself but you should remember beer is the only drink a real man should drink, wine is fordies and sissies" Julian ''Man what did I get myself into? I just hope no heard him'' Julian ignored Bruno and continued to drink his wine, he ordered some food to eat as well. Bruno "Yo Julian, how do you train you pokemons?" Julian "It''s a secret" Bruno "Common man, I need to teach my pokemons how to move like that so they can also fight like your Infernape" Julian "You just need to improve their agility that''s all" Bruno started to think about it with a serious look on his face as if he was thinking of different ways to increase his pokemons agility. Bruno "By the way, what do I do to increase their agility?" Hearing this question Julian almost spit the food out of his mouth. Julian ''How did this guy be a member of the elite four?'' Julian "Just do exercises that are not based only on strength training" Bruno "Hohoho, I got it" Julian didn''t want to wait here any longer so he quickly finished his food and walked away Julian "I am leaving" Bruno "Sure have a nice day" Back to his room, Julian walked towards theputer to search for Agatha''s info, after searching for a while he got a rough idea about her team. Julian ''Her team is mostly built of Ghost and Poison-type pokemons, them being Gengar, Bte, Misdreavus, Crobat, and Arbok. She actually has a pokemon from Hoenn well its not a surprise as she should have traveled there when she was young'' After thinking about his strategy he finally decided to end his day. Chapter 85 - A One On One Battle Today was Julian''s third battle and another step closer to be a champion, his today''s opponent is Agatha who is a ghost type user and probably the most experienced trainer he will ever face. Julian ''Agatha is a Champion level trainer and was a very powerful rival of Professor Oak, I don''t know what battle strategy she is going to use against me, well I am quite excited for this battle even more than facing Lance'' ?? Julian got ready and headed towards the Indigo Stadium, on his way he met Bruno who was holding a stick and a sack which was tied at the end of it. Bruno "Yo Julian, so you are heading towards the stadium to battle Agatha, let me tell you this, that olddy is scary and is easily triggered so be careful with your words" Julian "I know, thank you" Julian shook his hand. Bruno "Well then I will be going back to my home town the Sevii Inds to train more so that one day I will defeat you" Julian "Good luck" Saying this they part their ways, Julian soon arrives at the Stadium and enters his waiting room and waits for the announcement to start. As he sits patiently on a bench with his eyes closed he think about his strategy for his battle against Agatha. Julian ''Talking smack to Agatha will not help as she is experienced old woman and won''t fall for any provocations'' He falls into a deep thinking state and finally sighs in disappointment Julian ''Well overthinking won''t help a bit, looks like I have toe up with something on the battlefield'' Time passes as Julian already hears crowd gathering at the stadium, soon the announcer also starts to introduce the guests and finally thepetitors, a man wearing amittee''s worker uniform walks in and signals Julian that he is up so he gets up from his seat and walks towards the gate. Announcer "It''s here the third battle for our challenger Julian on his path to bing the champion of Kanto, today he will face Agatha who was a contender for the championship position against Professor Oak in the past, she is the current member of the elite four of our region and today she will be standing in Julian''s way from bing a champion" The crowd shouts in excitement as they wait for there favorite trainer to take the stage Announcer "Ok now let''s introduce our first trainer, give a round of apuse for Agatha" The door on the opposite side of the stadium opens revealing an olddy with blond hair, a purple dress and a wooden staff in her hand. She slowly walks up to the battlefield as she waits for her opponent to show up. Announcer "Our next trainer is everyone''s favorite Julian" Julian looks at the closed door in front of him which slowly starts to open and the sunlight hits his face, he looks forward to seeing Agatha already waiting for him on the battlefield as she stands there with the help of her staff. Julian starts to walk as he enters the battlefield, seeing his the audience starts to burst in cheers. Agatha "Would you look at that, you are quite famous aren''t you" Julian "Indeed, I didn''t expect myself to be this famous as well" Agatha "You are very cocky but you deserve to be as you are already such a powerful trainer at your age" Julian "Well being cocky is just one side of me, I have many personalities but only one of them is real" Agatha "So what is your real personality" Julian "Secret" He says with a smile, Agatha just stares at this kid in front of her, this is the first time she wasn''t able to see through a person who is younger than her. Agatha ''I thought that I have overestimated him but I still underestimated him, he is indeed a scary young man'' Agatha then picked her staff and ces her hand on its cat-shaped head and opened it like a flip cap to reveal a Pokeball inside it. Agatha "I don''t like lengthy battles at all so how about we make it a one on one battle" Julian looked at her and thought about the current situation. Julian ''A one on one battle, it has both its advantages and disadvantages, if I am not wrong that Pokeball on that staff is her Gengar''s so I don''t have many options either'' After thinking for a while he finally decided to go with her idea. Julian "As you wish" Announcer "Oh, it looks like they both have agreed to have a one on one battle to decide this battle" The referee walks in and looks at thepetitors Referee"This is going to be a one on one battle between the challenger Julian and the elite four''s member Agatha, the first pokemon which is rendered unable to battle looses" The referee looks a Julian then at Agatha. Referee "Both trainers ready?" Agatha/Julian "Yes" Referee "The let the battle begin" The referee waves the two gs in his hand signaling the start fo this battle. Agatha takes out the Pokeball from her staff and throws it upwards as a Gengares out of its Pokeball as it floats in midair and waits for its opponent. Julian "Let''s go" Julian also throws a Pokeball in the air and his Gengar also enters the stage, both Gengar stares at each other with a savage grin on their faces, the both are Gengars but they look different as well, while Agatha''s Gengar was bigger than a normal Gengar, Julian''s Gengar was bigger than her''s, Julian''s Gengar was also darker in color than Agatha''s dark purple Gengar. Agatha "Your Gengar is quite different, I must say you must take good care of it" Julian "Well he is a shiny and I do take good care of him" Announcer "Looks like an interesting battle is going to take ce, a battle between two Gengars, this is going to be exciting" Chapter 86 - Gengar Vs Gengar Both Gengar looks at each other and releases pressure onto each other to intimidate the other side, as they do this the surrounding goes cold as they both start to absorb the heat from the surrounding as the temperature keeps dropping until it reaches ten-degree celsius. After staring at each other for a while they bothe to a conclusion that they are equally matched, Julian''s Gengar has more firepower while Agatha''s Gengar is a tank built to take some heavy hits. ?? Julian ''Her Gengar''s level is higher than my Gengar''s, while my Gengar might have more firepower the level difference between them is not something I should ignore'' The crowd are on the edge of their seats as they wait for this battle to begin Agatha "Enough waiting let go, Gengar Shadow Ball" Agatha''s Gengar rises its hand up in the air and creates a huge Shadow Ball with is twice its size, itunches the Shadow Ball towards its opponent with full power. Julian "Hide in the shadows" Julian''s Gengar quickly dives into the ground and escapes the huge Shadow ball and disappears into the shadows, the Shadow Ball with he nearly dodgednds on the ground and explodes sending rubbles flying everywhere. Agatha "Gengar after it" Agatha''sGengar also follows Julian''s Gengar into the shadows as the chase begins, two ck shadows can be seen running around the whole battleground one running and the other chasing, once in a while they sh with each other and the ce they sh gets ripped or shredded into pieces. Julian [Shadow w] As Agatha''s Gengar is on the chase, Julian''s Gengar slows down a little and lets Agatha''s Gengar catch up and as soon as its near striking distance he turns around with quick movement and delivers a powerful Shadow w right on the face and sends Agatha''s Gengar out of the shadows. Agatha ''Same like his match with Lorelei and Bruno, it attacked without hismand, my theory is right he has a way tomand his pokemons some other way. If this is how it is its a very handy skill'' Agatha "Gengar back into the shadows and this time maintain a distance from its striking distance" Agatha''s Gengar once again dives into the shadows and goes after Julian''s Gengar but this time it is careful and doesn''t want to get hit by one of those Shadow ws again, even though it is built like a tank taking a continuous hit from Julian''s Gengar can be fatal. Julian ''Looks like she wants to take the battle into the shadows, she is trying to stretch the battle and make my Gengar exhausted. She really knows how to read her opponent, she knows that my Gengar is built tond heavy attacks and will tire at some point, she is waiting for my Gengar to run out of breath so that she can finish it with one move'' Julian clearly figured out Agatha''s battle strategy after observing her Gengar for a while, first it let Gengar attack it to get a quick assessment of its opponent''s power, seeing that the opponents attack is powerful it went into a defensive stance and is now trying to avoid any physical contact with Gengar and his attacks. Julian smirks after figuring out Agatha''s strategy. Julian ''This strategy is really effective if I had fought with her a few months before I would have actually lost but right now she has no chance'' Julian "Gengar out of the shadows lets take the battle into the sky" Hearing Julian Gengar bolts out of the shadows and floats in the air, Agatha''s Gengar also follows behind and looks at Gengar with a grin that never goes away from its face. Agatha "Looks like you don''t want to take the advantage of the shadows anymore" Julian "I just wanted to entertain the crowd, I thought they might get bored just seeing two shadows running around the battlefield" Agatha "Confuse Ray" Julian "Counter with Dark Pulse" Both Gengarunches their respective moves, as they sh Dark Pulse gets the advantage due to its type and firepower behind it, even though the Dark Pulse gets weakened it still hits Agatha''s Gengar and sends it a few meters back with some damage. Julian ''Looks like it didn''t flinch'' Agatha "Gengar use Foul y" Julian ''Oh, who would have thought it knew Foul y'' Julian "Gengar keep your distance and dodge its attacks" Agatha "Use Psywave" Julian [Disapear and Reaper behind and use Sucker Punch] Before Agatha''s Gengar could evenunch an attack Julian''s Gengar appeared behind it andnded a Sucker Punch and sent it rolling back in the air, the damage was high but due to its high defense and hp it withstood the attack and shook of its pain. Julian ''Looks like I have to use that after all'' Agatha "Enough ying, let''s finish this, Gengar Shadow Balls" Her Gengar suddenly created multiple shadow balls and sent it shooting towards Gengar. Julian "Disappear" Agatha "Not so fast use Psychic and hold it in ce" Before Gengar could even disappear he was suddenly hold down by a pinkish purple energyyer over his body and the next moment he was hit by those Shadow Balls and sent flying backward. Julian was surprised by this attack. Julian ''Who would have thought that Gengar actually mastered the control over its Psychic abilities, even though Gengars can''t use Psychic it is still able to manipte its Psychic to use it in a simr way, I have to be careful'' Julian "That really surprised me, full control over psychic powers. It must have been hard to train it" Agatha "Indeed, looks like you figured it out just by looking at it once. Now that you know about it how do you n to escape, I could tie down your Gengar in a ce and not let it escape, it will be your loss" Julian "That is indeed a great n, but let''s not talk about winning or losing right now, I still have few tricks up my sleeve" Agatha "Oh, then how about you show it to me boy" Julian "As you wish, Gengar" As Gengar was still stuck in a ce by the psychicyer but when he heard Julian''s call he released a dark purple energy from his body which started to umte inside the psychicyer, Agatha''s Gengar could feel an internal pressure building inside the psychicyer so it tried to reinforce it but it was useless, the dark purple energy gathered more and more and the pressure kept on increasing until a crack appeared and suddenly the psychicyer shared into pieces releasing the dark purple energy as it rushed out and covered the whole battlefield, feeling this dark energy everyone present in the stadium felt a sudden chill running down their spine. Agatha was shocked by sensing this energy. Agatha ''Ghost Energy, I never expected to feel such a powerful one in my lifetime, this Gengar is just as scary as those that are talked in those ancient times, its good that it is under control of a powerful trainer or I don''t know what kind of havoc it would have caused'' Agatha "Gengar lets finish this quickly Dark Pulse" Agatha''s Gengar who was intoxicated by sensing the amount of Ghost Energy quickly snapped out and sent a powerful Dark Pulse towards Julian''s Gengar, this Dark Pulse was very powerful due to the exposed ghost energy Agatha''s Gengar suddenly gained a powerup and increased its firepower, this was indeed noticed by Agatha so she wanted to finish this quickly. Julian "Gengar into the shadows" Gengar escaped the Dark Pulse and disappeared into the shadows. Agatha ''Why did he go back into the shadows again, does he wants to continue the cat and mice game, but if he does that he will tire his Gengar fast'' Agatha was in a dilemma, she didn''t know what to do. Agatha ''What is he thinking?'' Agatha really didn''t know what Julian was nning to do but she could not miss this chance as well, it was clearly a trap but if she escaped this trap it would be her win, seeing the probability of her winning being 50/50 she decided to take the risk. Agatha "Gengar into the shadows" Julian ''She fell for it, now let''s use this new move'' Julian [Gengar as soon as I give the signal use it] As soon as Agatha''s Gengar entered the shadows Julian didn''t waste a second andmanded Gengar. Julian [Now DIMENSION TRAP] Just when Agatha''s Gengar entered the shadows it suddenly felt it being held by something and the next moment it found itself being trapped inside a dark-squared box, suddenly dark purple chains came rushing out of nowhere and locked onto its hands and legs, it tried to struggle but the hold was unbreakable, after few seconds Julian''s Gengar suddenly appeared in front of it with a huge grin on his face. Gengar [hehehe it''s over] Julian [Hypnosis then Dream Eater] While Agatha''s Gengar was trapped in an unknown ce, outside Agatha was panicking. Agatha "GENGAR, where is my Gengar" As soon as her Gengar entered the shadow she suddenly felt it, her Gengar''s presence suddenly disappeared from the battlefield. As she was panicking and looking everywhere she suddenly saw a shadow in the middle of the battlefield and soon Julian''s Gengar came out of it as it pulled out Agatha''s Gengar who waspletely knocked out. Agatha was shocked seeing her Gengar knocked out, she didn''t even know what happened just a few seconds passed and her Gengar was already out. Agatha ''What happened?'' Julian just smirked seeing this. Julian ''It was just a few months ago did I found out about this skill Gengar developed, after reaching full mastery over his Ghost Energy he suddenly disappeared but even his presence disappeared with him, but when he reappeared he exined to me that he had entered a weird dimension all of a sudden, after thinking about it I realized that this was one of the abilities Gengars gained when they mega evolve, they can go into a dimension and stay there as they watch their enemies. I think every Gengar is capable of doing this if they gained full mastery over their Ghost Force, then I trained Gengar on how to control his Ghost Energy to enter this Dimension whenever he wants and soon he developed this skill to trap his enemies. Even though Gengar has developed this skill he cannot still fully master it as it is very taxing, it can only be used as a hidden trump card.'' Julian was very pleased with the results, this move was very hard for Gengar to master and it''s still not perfect but the results are still to his expectations. The Referee walked forwards to check on Agatha''s Gengar and found it unconscious and so he dered the winner. Referee "Agatha''s Gengar is unable to battle so Julian''s Gengar wins, the winner of this battle is Gengar" Announcer "Its over another one falls down, now Julian has only one opponent in his way to be the champion" Agatha just stood there in a daze but soon gained back her sense, she then walked towards Julian. Agatha "What was that move?" Julian "Everyone has a secret!" he said with a smile. Agatha also smirked after hearing his answer. Agatha "Indeed everyone has a secret but you boy have more than one" Julian justs awkwardlyugh after listening to her. Agatha "Well then now I can finally retire, after this amazing battle I don''t have any regrets now" She said and walked away, Julian looked at her then looked at his Gengar who was exhausted. Julian "Looks like that move was really taxing huh?" Gengar just nods and goes back to his Pokeball to rest, Julian also left the stadium so that he can get ready for his final battle. Announcer "That''s all for now, join us next week for the final battle where Julian will face Lance to be the champion" _______________________________ Authors Note: Hey guys I just opened a P.a.t.r.e.o.n ount and I would appreciate if you guys could support me there, I didn''t put any specific amount to be paid, you guys can give how much ever you want.

Chapter 87 - Lance In A Dilemma On his way towards his hotel room, he saw a tall old woman with white hair which was strapped on each side of her head with white straps, she was wearing a white headband and a white kimono as well. She was standing in front of a shop and bargaining with the shop keeper loudly, but that was not the reason why Julian noticed her but the pokemon which was beside her, it was a huge Typhlosion, it was really an intimidating Pokemon. Julian ''Ho I never thought I would see a Typhlosion here, she must be its trainer.'' ?? Julian looked at this old woman who was still bargaining back and forth with the shop keeper while her Typhlosion was looking back and forth between her and the shopkeeper. Julian ''Is she form Jhoto, hmm who cares let''s go'' Julian walked away ignoring them, the day passed away in a sh and a new day began, Julian decided to go and train in the hills so he walked out of his room and hopped onto his bike and rode away. When he reached near the hill he saw smoke rising from one of the hills, seeing the smoke he became curious and went there to check it out when he reached there he saw the same old woman with her Typhlosion as she was battling someone, he looked forward and saw a man with red hair battling her, he was really surprised to see this man he was none other thannce. Julian ''Lance, why is he here and who is this old woman who is battling him?'' Julian looked at their battle and it looked like they were having a training battle, what was more surprising to Julian was that the old woman''s Typhlosion was equally matched with Lance''s Dragonite, but Lance still was in a dominant position due to his Dragonite being able to fly. Julian ''Hmm, this Old woman is really something, even being in a disadvantaged position she is still able to keep that Dragonite at bay andunch attacks'' Julian just stood there as he watches them have a battle. Lance "Ultima you won''t be able to defeat me this time around" Ultima "Lance boy you have grown strong in this 4 years, show me how strong have you be" Julian ''So her name is Ultima. Hmm, why do I feel like I have heard that name somewhere?'' Julian falls into a deep thinking state as he tries to recall where he has heard of this name but it was useless as he didn''t remember anything. Lance "Let''s see if you are able to escape from this, Dragonite Hyper Beam" His Dragonite flew high in the air and thenunched a devastating Hyper Beam towards Typhlosion Ultima "Hmpf, let''s see if you can handle this move" Ultima then shes a metallic bracelet on her right hand which glows. Ultima "Ultimate Skill BLAST BURN" Typhlosion which was on the ground stood up on its two hind legs and looked upwards towards Dragonite then puffs its chest then breaths out a powerful orange color fire beam which rips through the air and directly shes with the Hyper Beam. The collision of these two moves shook everything in the area, the ground got burned, trees which were in the surroundings were sent flying, the shock wave traveled through the air at the sound of speed disrupting the air in the surroundings. It didn''t stop there as the st Burn triumphed and tore through the Hyper Beam and headed towards Dragonite. Lance "Dragonite, quickly move out of the way" Dragonite quickly moved away avoiding the attack, even though the move''s power was reduced exceptionally it still had power equal to a methrower remaining in it and Lance didn''t want to take any chances. Julian who was far away felt the power of this move as well and was very surprised. Julian ''That st Burn was not an ordinary one, it could even match the power of a Z-move'' Julian looked at this old woman carefully and the bracelet on her hand, then he finally realized. Julian ''Now I remember her, she is the Guardian of the Ultimate skills from Sevii Ind, Professor Oak had once mentioned her when I told him about my visit to the Sevii ind, he said that she teaches these skills to trainers who are destined to learn it if I remember correctly they are st Burn, Frenzy nt, and Hydro Canon but they are just more buffed than the normal once'' After recognizing her Julian felt nothing at all as he just stood there staring at the bracelet on her hand. Julian ''I think that bracelet is the reason for that huge power boost of these moves'' While Julian was wondering about the bracelet, Lance stared at Ultima with a serious expression. Lance "As always that move never fails to render me speechless, but I recently witnessed something even more powerful than that so I called you to see if I can counter your move, I was expecting that I would at least neutralize it but I overestimated my limit" Ultima was taken back when she heard what Lance had said. Ultima "You are saying that there is someone out there who can use a more powerful move than my ultimate skills?" Lance "I still remember, even though I was not present on the scene but I watched it through the screen I felt that power behind that move, it was indeed more powerful than your''s st Burn" Ultima stayed silent for a moment. Ultima "So you asked me to have a battle with you to test your limit and it looks like you are not happy with the result" Lance "You are right if my opponent uses that Pokemon in the battle I will only have one choice and that is to use my pokemon''s speed as an advantage, if I meet head-on with that monster I don''t know if even my Dragonite will be able to withstand that power" Ultima "This opponent of yours, is he the one who you will be facing next week?" Lance "Indeed, his name is Julian and this uing battle will be my hardest one, it''s not only that pokemon which is a problem, but his whole pokemon team is also filled with monster, some are allrounders some are heavy hitters and some are extremely fast and the most important thing that I need to take into consideration is that he hasn''t revealed all his pokemons" This was indeed Lance''s biggest concern, his opponent hasn''t revealed all his pokemons while the information about his pokemons and his battle patterns were out there on the inte for anyone to study. Ultima "Hmm it looks like you are indeed in a pinch, you opponent knows everything about you but you don''t have much information about him" Lance "True, from what I have observed from his recent three battles, most of his pokemons never gave their hundred percent in their battle" Ultima "I see, well this old woman has nothing to give to you for triumphing over your opponent, I can only wish best of luck to you" Lance just nods and flies away on his Dragonite, Julian also heads to his usual resting ce to start his training. Julian ''Heee, it looks like Lance is concerned about me using Snox, well he doesn''t have to worry about that at all, I have another suprise for him'' Julian smiles and starts his training. Chapter 88 - Julian Vs Lance The final battle is here, Julian vs Lance, the indigo stadium is crowded even before the trainers have arrived, Julian who is heading towards the stadium frowns seeing the huge crowd waiting in front of the stadium, everybody wants the front seats and there is even some pushing going on in there. Looking at the huge crowd present in front of the stadium he knew that he could not get in through the front so he headed towards the back door. ?? Julian ''I didn''t expect this much crowd to umte today, well Lance is indeed very famous not only in Kanto but other regions as well, he is already strong as a regions champion so this amount of reaction is not such a big deal I guess'' When he was near his waiting room he saw someone familiar, it was Lorelei, she was leaning on a wall and her eyes were closed. Julian ''Is she trying to show off a cool vibe?'' Julian thought after seeing her posture and walked away, Lorelei was surprised but didn''t say anything and just watched Julian walk away. After arriving in his waiting room he saw a card which had good luck printed on it, seeing this card Julian thought that this was left behind by Lorelei as he saw her outside just now. Julian ''Hm I didn''t expect that'' He opened the card to see that it was Professor Oak who sent the card and not Lorelei, Julian was taken back by this. Julian ''Looks like I am thinking too much these days'' After waiting for a while the announcement started to take ce and Julian received his queue to wait in front of the entrance of the battlefield. Announcer "Today is the day where we will either see a new champion emerging or another candidate will bite the dust, one side we have Julian who has remained undefeated on his whole journey until now and on the other side we have Lance the legendary dragon type trainer who is famous all around the world and with his partner Dragonite he had buried every challenger he has ever faced" The crowd was equally divided into groups one supporting Julian and the other supporting Lance, they cheered these two names loudly Announcer "Enough waiting lets wee our trainers who will be battling each other today, from the red corner lets wee our elite-four member Lance" Lance enters the battlefield with a stern face, he is fully focused on this battle. Announcer "Now let''s wee the challenger, Julian" Julian also enters the battlefield as his name is repeated one after other by the crowd. Both Julian and Lance look into each other''s eyes they spoke nothing but they have already started to read their opponent. The referee enters the battlefield with two gs in his hand one blue the other red. Referee "This following battle is a two on two pokemon battle as requested by the elite-four member Lance, does the challenger ept this condition?" Julian nods his head excepting the conditioned ce by Lance Referee "Then let me exin the rules, each trainer will use two of their pokemons, both of them are allowed to switch their pokemons in middle of the battle, the person who doesn''t have any Pokemon left at the end of the battle loses, am I clear?" Lance/Julian "Yes" Referee "Then let''s begin" The referee waves the gs indicating the start of the match Lance "Let''s Go Aerodactyl" Lance throws a Pokeball up in the air and the next moment an Aerodactyles out if it and fly up in the air and stares down at Julian. Julian ''An Aerodactyl, my first time seeing one. Let''s see what it has in store for me'' Julian also takes out a Pokeball and throws it in the air, and form that Pokeball Kabutopses out of it. Lance looks at Kabutops and he has seen it battle in few of the league videos and he knew that Kabutops here is very fast. Lance "Aerodactyl Iron Head" Aerodactyl dives down at Kabutops at extreme speed as its head glows and turns shiny as it reflects the sunlight off it. Julian "Protect" Kabutops quickly creates an energy shield and blocks the Iron Head from Aerodactyl, the Impact for that Iron Head leaves minor cracks on the energy shield. Aerodactyl quickly retreats after seeing its attack failed, it doesn''t want to get close to those ws. Julian ''That Aerodatcyl is really strong, to leave that damage on Kabutops''s protect is indeed impressive'' Julian "Kabutops Sword Dance" Kabutops lifts his ws and creates five swords surrounding him as they glow and powerup Kabutops physical attack power. Lance "Aerodactyl use Crunch" Aerodactyl once again dived down at Kabutops as its mouth was wide open and its jaws were glowing white. Julian "Stone Edge" As soon as Aerodactyl came into striking distance Kabutops dug his two ws on the ground and the next moment huge rock pirs which were glowing blue came out of the ground right in between him and Aerodactyl. Lance "Quick Substitute" As soon as Aerodactyl heard Lancemand it suddenly created a substitute of itself andunched it towards theing Stone Edge and escaped towards the sky, the Stone Edge came crashing down and shattered the Aerodactyl''s substitute into pieces. Lance seeing his opportunity quickly took action. Lance "Now Dragon Breath" Aerodactyl who was in the air puffed its chest andunched a purple beam towards Kabutops. Julian "Quick activate Weak Armour and dodge" Due to the speed of the Dragon breath heading towards Kabutops Julian quickly decided to use weak armor and increase Kabutops speed. Kabutops did as said and barely escaped the Dragon Breath but it was not over as the bacsh of that move hitting the ground created a crater on the ground sending small stones flying everywhere and some of them hit Kabutops. Julian ''Phew, that was close, looks like being in defense is not a good idea from now I have to take the advance'' Julian "Kabutops Blizzard" Kabutops lifts his ws up in the air and brings down a huge ice storm in the battlefield, Aerodactyl is affected by the sudden change in the atmosphere as it is weak to ice. Soon the battlefield was covered with snow everywhere and the temperature fell down. Lance looked at his Aerodactyl which was very ufortable right now due to this powerful ice storm which was not stopping at all. Lance "Aerodactyl hand in there and use Sunny Day" Aerodactyl came back to its sense and used Sunny Day, soon the bright light shined from the sky and removed the Blizzard, slowly the snow started to melt as well leaving behind arge amount of water. Julian ''Didn''t expect it to know Sunny Day but it still worked in our advantage'' Julian "Use Confuse Ray" Kabutops shoots pinkish purple rays towards Aerodactyl. Lance "Dodge then use Wing Attack" Aerodactyl dives down towards Kabutops while dodging the Confuse Rays as its wings glow white. Julian "Face it head on using Metal w" As soon as Aerodactyl dodges the Confuse Rays andes near Kabutops, Kabutops rubs his two ws which shines like des and sings a metal sound as it reflects the sunlight off it. The to pokemon shes with each other, Kabutops Left w strikes the right wing of Aerodactyl and blocks the Wing Attack, seeing the position they are in Lance decided to take the advantage this. Lance "Now use Crunch" Aerodactyl turns its head right and tries to bite Kabutops using Crunch Julian "Block it" Kabutops uses his right w and intercepts the Crunch as Aerodactyl grabs on to his right w. Lance "Now Sky Drop" Aerodactyl suddenly lifts Kabutops of the ground and takes him to the sky. Julian "Night sh" While Aerodactyl was on its way to the top Kabutops left w glows dark purple-ck in color and strikes the neck of Aerodactyl, feel the sudden pain on its neck Aerodactyl releases Kabutops from its jaws as Kabutops starts to fall down. Julian "Reduce the impact using Hydro Pump on the Ground" As Kabutops was falling down he sts a Hydro Pump towards the ground and slows down his fall. Lance "Dragon w" Julian "Metal w" Both Pokemon dashes towards each other with full speed and sh in mid-air sending ripples everywhere. Lance "Hyper Beam" Julian "Hydro Pump" After being sent back by the bacsh from the previous collision they once againunch their powerful moves, both Hydro Pump and Hyper Beam shes in the air, the ground beneath it couldn''t hold the pressure and crack like a spider web, the impact distorts the air in the surrounding and the huge boom cause most of the audience to go deaf for a second. As the fog clears out both Pokemon could be seen still standing but they are tired and are huffing to take in more air. Lance "Let''s finish this, Aerodactyl use Giga Impact" Julian "You too Giga Impact" Both of them roared as purple and yellow energy started to spin around them, theyunched towards each other at full speed, the air was ripped from their movement, they broke the sound barrier and finally collided, the next second there was nothing but a huge white light exploding towards the sky from the stadium. When the light disappeared everyone saw a massive crater right in the middle of the battlefield, the battlefield was shattered, walls near them were cracked, the ground was charred ck. One more thing to notice was both pokemons were down, both of them have been knocked out as they lie down right in the middle of the crater. The referee who had already escaped from the battlefield quickly came running and checked on them. Referee "Both Aerodactyl and Kabutops are unable to battle" Announcer "One of Julian''s pokemon has finally fallen down but still, it took out Lance''s pokemon with it" Jin just stayed still and looked at his unconscious Kabutops, then he smiled. Julian "You were awesome Kabutops" He called back Kabutops to his Pokeball, Lance on the other side of the battlefield had a frown on his face, even though the result was a draw he still took this as a loss because he had clearly seen what happened, due to the explosion nobody could see what happened but he saw it clearly, after they collided his Aerodactyl was the first one to fall down, he saw Kabutops on his feet still standing for few seconds with a grin on its face before copsing on the ground. Lance ''If Kabutops weak armor was not activated it would have won'' Julian looked at Lance and was able to determine what he was thinking. Julian ''I don''t know what he thinks about the result but that was a fun battle and what was more important is that Kabutops enjoyed that battle'' Julian "I am waiting, are you going to send out you Dragonite" Lance snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Julian and saw a look of excitement on his face, that is when Lance finally realized that Julian was battling him for the excitement of it, while he was battling to ovee his opponent. Lance smiled and determination shed in his eyes. Lance "Show me what you got, Go Dragonite" Julian saw a Pokeballunched up in the air and the next moment a huge Dragonite came out of it and roared loudly looking at the sky. Chapter 89 - Champion Julian looked at the Dragonite and smirked. Julian "That is indeed a great roar, let me show you what a real roar sounds like" ?? Julian threw a Pokeball in the air and the next moment a white light shines and a gigantic pokemon appears on the battlefield, he is huge standing 14 meters from head to tail, red scales, long and sharp fangs, and a huge tungsten armor on his head with a mega stone embedded on it, it is Julian''s Gyarados he enters the battlefield and looks at Dragonite and roars right at it, the roar causes the whole stadium to vibrate. Announcer "Is that a Gyarados, but its huge and red, Oh My Arceus I have never seen anything like this in my life" Lance''s 3.5 meter Dragonite looks like a dwarf in front of Julian''s Gyarados, Lance looks at Gyarados with shock as it is also his first time looking at something like this, even he has a Gyarados but it is only 8 meters tall,pared to the monster in front of him it is nothing. Lance stays his ground and quickly gets his head back into the game. Lance ''It''s just an oversized shiny Gyarados, from the look of its size it will definitely be slower, the battle has just started'' Just likence everyone in the stadium is shocked by seeing Gyarados. Lance "What a fine Gyarados you have there, how did you even raise such a beast?" Julian "Well lots of nutritious food and hell like training resume" Lance nods his head and looks towards Gyarados Lance "Dragonite Thunder" Dragonite flies high in the sky and starts to bring down storm clouds which cracked with lightning. Lance wants to use Electric-type attack on Gyarados as it is four times weaker to it. The lightning boltes down with extreme speed trying to decimate Gyarados. Julian "Gyarados Dragon Pulse" Gyarados looks at the iing Lightning Bolt and shoots out a purple beam towards the lightning which suddenly turns into a dragon head and bites down the lightning creating an explosion high in the air, Dragonite gets pushed back by the impact of these two moves and retreats back, the storm clouds disappear the next second revealing the bright sky again. Lance ''Gyarados is a powerhouse I need to use speed'' Lance "Dragonite use Double Team and surround Gyarados" Dragonite suddenly starts to create multiple copies of itself and flies around Gyarados and is ready to attack at any moment. Julian "Dragon Tail" Gyarados roars and lifts his massive tail which starts to glow fluorescent blue and swings it with full speed towards multiple Dragonite flying around him, the tail passes through one after the other and finally hits Dragonites sending it crashing to the ground. Julian "It is indeed a great idea to use speed against my Gyarados but I have prepared a counter for that way ahead, my Gyarados trained his tail so that he could swing it as amazing speed if an opponent gets in its range" Lance stares at Julian then at his Dragonite which gets up and again takes the sky. Julian ''Impressive, as expected from the ace pokemon of Lance, it is able to handle Gyarados''s Dragon Tail'' Lance "Agility" Dragonite activates Agility to boost its speed. Lance "Arial Ace" Julian "Thrash" Dragonite dives down with double the speed from before and dodges Gyarados by an inch andnds the Arial Ace right on the body, Gyarados feels a sting and backs away a little and stares furiously at Dragonite. Julian "Ice Beam" Gyarados puffs his chest andunches a powerful Ice Beam towards Dragonite. Lance "Dragonite quickly dodge" Dragonite moves away from the Ice Beam path but to its surprise it doesn''t stop, Gyarados continuously breaths out Ice Beam and chase down Dragonite in the air, Dragonite tries to evade it by making quick movements for few seconds it was able to dodge but the Ice Beam finally hit the right wing of Dragonite and froze it solid and Dragonite lost its flight and came down crashing. Julian "Now Thrash" Gyarados slithers fast andes down crashing on Dragonite and sends it rolling on the ground, Dragonite is sent rolling on the ground and finally stops after hitting a wall, the wall it crashed onto shatters into pieces. Afterying down for a few seconds Dragonite struggles for a second and again takes the air. Julian looks at Dragonite and smiles. Julian ''A Pseudo Legendary indeed'' Julian "Gyarados Hyper Beam" Gyarados puffs his chest and shoots out a massive Hyper Beam from his mouth towards Dragonite. Lance "Dragonite you too, Hyper Beam" Dragonite also sends out a massive Hyper Beam to counter Gyarados''s Hyper Beam, both Hyper Beam sh and the devastation it caused left the whole battlefield into pieces, the ground was nowpletely uneven, the audience where protected by a forcefield but that was not the case for the battlefield, the walls around the battlefield were shattered into pieces, rock dust were flying everywhere. Lance looked at his Dragonite who looked a little tired right now, on the other hand, Julian''s Gyarados only had some minor scratches on it but they were are ignorable. Julian "Ice Beam again" Gyarados once againunched a powerful Ice Beam towards Dragonite who tried to dodge it by flying everywhere, the Ice Beam would leave a frozen solid ice path wherever it went. Lance ''Dodging won''t help I need to attack'' Lance "Dragonite Giga Impact" Dragonite rushes towards Gyarados as it rides against the Ice Beam. Julian "Gyarados, Skull Bash" Gyaradosunches himself towards Dragonite and they sh head-on, the impact causes the air to distort again causing the light to refract and providing a wavy site, the sh results in a draw but due to Gyarados size, he sticks on the spot whereas Dragonite is pushed back again. Lance "Dragonite Dragon w" Julian "Gyarados Ice Fang" Dragonite''s right w glows and erges into sharp long ws and rushed towards Gyarados. Gyarados roars as his fangs glow blue as they be long and sharp, as soon Dragonite''s wse near Gyarados bits down with Ice Fang and freezes Dragonite''s arm. Julian "Thrash" Gyarados still on hold of Dragonite''s arm thrashes it down on the ground causing heavy damage, the already broken and uneven ground is unable to hold on any longer and copses as Dragonite gets nted deep into the ground. Lance "Dragonite quickly get out of there" Julian "Let''s finish this Ice Beam" Gyarados looks down at the nted Dragonite then puffs his chest and sts a powerful Ice Beam downwards, the creator gets filled with Ice shards and spikes sticking out like pirs and Dragonite right under it. Lance "Dragonitemon get up" Dragonite who was frozen under the huge mass of ice with all its power gives a final push and the next moment the ice spikes went flying everywhere and Dragonitees out of the crater andnds in front of Lance and looks at Gyarados. Gyarados also looks at Dragonite but doesn''t move. Julian ''Its Over'' Finally, Dragonite''s legs give in as it copses on the ground and faints. The whole stadium bes silent as they look at the state of the battlefield and just one pokemon standing tall in there, the next moment everybody burst into cheers as they shout Julian''s name over and over again. Announcer "It''s over Julian, have defeated all the elite-four members, HE HAS BECOME THE CHAMPIONNNNNNNNNNNN" The crowd also joins with the announcer and call him the champion over and over again. Julian hears his name added next to the title champion and he felt a great feeling taking over him, he was happy, proud, excited and feelings he could not describe in one breath, he looked at his Gyarados and smiled. Julian "We did it, buddy" Gyarados also looked happy as he roared loudly looking at the sky stating his dominance over everyone. Lance stood there as he patted his Dragonite who had already woke up and was looking at Gyarados. Lance "We will be stronger and challenge them next time" Dragonite looked at Lance and nodded. Lance put Dragonite back to its Pokeball and walked towards Julian. Lance "Congrattions on bing the champion, Julian" He extends his hand for a shake, Julian also extended his hand and shook it. Julian "It indeed feels great to be a Champion, you don''t have to worry I won''t be holding the champion position for too long, it will be yours soon" Lance was confused by hearing this. Lance "What do you mean?" Julian "Kanto is too small for me, I want to explore everything out there that this huge world has for me to offer" Lance understood what Julian meant and sighed, he knew that being a championes with a responsibility and it will restrict a trainer as well, even though champion receives holidays they still had toe back and fulfill their duties. Lance "Then I can only wish good luck on your journey" Julian "Thankyou" Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen don''t go anywhere as the crowning of the champion will take ce tonight so stay tuned" Lance "I think you should get ready for the crowning" Julian "Indeed" Julian and Lance walk away from the stadium. Night has arrived and the Indigo stadium is repaired back to how it was in the morning, the crowd is waiting for their champion to arrive, Goodshow has already arrived and is preparing the crowning process, all the elite four members also join him for this asion. Soon Julian arrives and the crowd burst into cheers, Julian waves at them and proceeds towards the tform where Goodshow is standing, soon he joins him up in the tform and looks around the stadium and see his fans cheering for him. Goodshow "Let''s begin" After hearing him, a beautiful woman walks forward with a cushion on her hand and on that cushion was a crown made of gold and diamonds along with a golden staff with ruby on top of it. Goodshow takes the crown andes in front of Julian. Goodshow "I Charles Goodshow, as the president of the leaguemittee, announce you as the Champion of Kanto" Julian bends down as Goodshow ces the crown on top of his head and gives him the golden staff, on the staff was his name embedded on it with precious stones. Julian looks at the staff and ten rises it up as fireworks start to shoot up in the sky and the night ends with a huge celebration. Chapter 90 - Towards Hoenn At a big house in Pallet Town next to Professor Oak''sb, Julian is sitting on the sofa looking at the TV to his next was Professor Oak who was sipping some tea, his eyes were also stuck on the TV screen. Professor "It looks like this is the final battle" ?? Julian "Yes, by tomorrow Kanto and Jhoto will have a new champion" Oak "I cannot believe 12 months passed so soon" Julian "Well we were busy with ourpany and work so it is normal I guess" Oak "Haha after you became champion ourpany was showered with profit, now I have enough money to continue few of my abandoned research" Julian stayed silent and looked at the TV screen in which a pokemon battle was being yed live, it was Lance and his Dragonite against Karen and her Umbreon. Julian "It ising to an end" Professor Oak looked at the screen and saw Dragonite sting a Hyper Beam at Umbreon to finish it, Umbreon was knocked out and Lance won the battle as he became the Champion of both Kanto and Jhoto as per the rules of the silver conference. Professor Oak looked at Julian and saw him smiling. Oak "What''s next? You have already be the champion, established argepany, what do you have in mind right now" Julian turned towards Professor Oak and smiled. Julian "Now, I will go to Hoenn and participate in the league once again, and of course, I will start from scratch again, catch new pokemons train them and win the league" Oak "I see, then best of luck" Julian stood up from the sofa Julian "I should start to make some preparations, some take your time enjoying that tea" Julian walked away leaving Professor Oak behind. Oak "It''s such a good thing to be young" He sighs as continues to sip his tea, soon few days pass and Ash arrives back from Jhoto and visits theb, he sees Professor Oak and Julian talking about something. Ash "Professor Oak, Julian" Oak "Oh Ash you finally came back, I was wondering when you wille back?" Julian "You did great in the silver conference" Ash "Hahaha, well it was nothing" Ash rubs his head in embarrassment. Julian "Well you could have done better if you had avoided ziken by maintaining that distance" Ashughs awkwardly after hearing Julian. Oak "Well he is still young and inexperienced, he still has a long way to go" Ash looks around and sees an evolution stone kept in a container but it was quite different from a normal one. Ash "Professor Oak what''s that" Oak "Oh this, this is the new research material for my research on evolutions" Ash "Cool so what can it do?" Oak "Ah, it''s still not ready yet, actually I am sending this to Hoenn to Professor Birch for the next phase" Ash "Hoenn?" Oak "Ah yes Hoenn, you should also go there the Hoenn league will soon take ce, Julian is also heading there" Ash "Hoenn league? So Julian will be taking part in it as well" Julian "Yes" Ash "Cool I also want to go to Hoenn and start a new journey once again" Ash then suddenly remembers something. Ash "Ah, professor Oak what about Gary?" Oak "Gary? he said that he wants to start anew and aims to be a pokemon researcher just like me" Ash "He wants to be a researcher" Ash stays silent for a while and then says his good by and walks away. Julian ''Gary wants to be a researcher, well looks like that saying is indeed true, an apple doesn''t fall far from the tree, well it''s good for him he finally realized his passion'' Julian ''I will leave towards Hoenn in two to three days'' Julian takes the special evolution stone and walks away. Julian "Professor I will give it to Professor Birch so don''t worry" Oak "Thankyou" The day goes by as night arrives indicating the end of the day. Chapter 91 - Hoenn, Here I Come! The day has finally arrived and Julian is waiting outside theb to say his goodbye to Professor Oak, soon Professor Oakes outside with a card in his hand. Oak "Take this, this is an international Id card, it will also act as your credit card" ?? Julian took the card and looked at it, it was a ck card with his name and photo on it with a private number embedded on it with some kind of metal. Julian "Thank you, then I will be leaving" Oak "Fine, and good luck on your journey" Julian was about to hop on his bike and drive off but he heard someone call his name from behind, he turned around to see Ash and his mother walking towards him. Ash "Julian you are going to the port right, take me with you I am also going to Hoenn" Julian looked at Ash for a sec and sighed. Julian "Ok, but I will only apany you till we reach Hoenn then we go our separate ways" Ash "YES" Ash said excitedly, Delia smiled and looked at Julian. Delia "Julian take care of my son" Julian "Hmm" Julian nods his head and sits on his bike. Julian "Hop on" Hearing him Ash hops on his bike and they ride away, after riding for a while Ash bes excited as Julian keeps on speeding. Ash "HOOOO, this is awesome I didn''t think that riding on a bike would feel this great" His Pikachu on his shoulder also nods his head excitedly as he enjoys the high-speed ride, soon they arrive near the port and Julian stops his bike. Julian "You should go to the ship I have to go to the port''s office to apply a vehicle transport service" Hearing Julian Ash gets off the bike. Ash "Ok then I will meet you in the ship" Julian doesn''t answer back and rides off towards the office, when he reaches there he talks to an employee working there. Julian "Hey I need to take my motorbike to Hoenn with me, can you give me a form" Employee "Wait a minute, here it is" Julian takes the form and starts to fill the form, as he was filling the form he heard a huge explosioning from the port area, when he turned around he saw two people and two pokemons being sent flying in the sky. Julian ''Not even few hours have passed and he already got in trouble'' Julian sighed and continued his work, after submitting the form Julian received a vehicle pass, he rode back to the ship and boarded the ship with his motorbike, he parked his bike in the vehicle area and headed towards the resident area. When he walked in he saw Ash waving at him excitedly. Julian ''*sighs* I just hope that nothing will happen in these few days'' Julian walked towards Ash. Ash "So is your work finished?" Julian "Yes" Ash "Great, can we have a battle, I saw a battlefield in the ship" Julian looked at Ash and regretted his decision for bringing Ash with him, luckily Julian is sharp and saw that Ash''s Pikachu breathing was a little off. Julian "I don''t think it is a good idea, look your Pikachu looks tired and I guess you don''t have your other pokemons with you right now" Ash looked at Pikachu and also noticed Pikachu was breathing a little off Ash "I guess you are right, Pikachu you should rest" Julian patted Pikachu''s head and rubbed its cheeks. Pikachu "~pikkaaaaa~" Julian "Your Pikachu is really cute, but he looks tired right now you should take him to the resting area" Ash "Ok then see youter" Julian looks at Ash and then looks at the direction where Hoenn is situated. Julian ''What does Hoenn has for me, I can''t wait for all the new things I am going to experience'' Soon few days passed and the ship would arrive at a port near Littleroot town, this was Julian''s destination and also home of Professor Birch. Julian was with Ash right now as Ash was holding Pikachu in his hands who looked sick, Julian was also worried as he had grown fond of this little these past few days. Julian "Looks like Pikachu is suffering for electric overload you should quickly take him to Professor Birchb as there is no Pokemon center in Littleroot Town" Ash "Electric overload?" Julian "It is caused due to the huge amount of electricity being trapped inside Pikachu''s body which is not able to get to so his body has fallen in this state, has Pikachu been exposed to electromaic waves recently?" Ash "Yes Pikachu was strapped to a huge ma recently, if not for those team rocket this would have not happened" Ash grit his teeth as he looks at Pikachu who is releasing short bursts of electricity from his cheeks. Julian ''These team rocket idiots again, they cause trouble wherever they are'' The Ship arrives at the port and Ash dashes of towards a call center to inquire if Professor Birch is present or not in theb and informs them about Pikachu''s condition. Julian didn''t join him as he knows everything is going to be fine so he goes towards the vehicle area and decided to takes his bike to a local police station to register it. Julian ''Man, this registration thing is a real pain in the ass, but they are rules so I can''t do anything'' Julian rides off to the nearest police station and gets his work done. Julian ''Now that this is over lets head towards Professor Birch''sb'' He sits on his bike and rides of towards theb, he soon pass the rough road and is finally able to see theb in the distance, then he notices a girl with brown hair wearing a red shirt with a white mini skirt and blue cycle shorts, on her bicycle rides past him. Julian ''Isn''t that May?'' Julian realizes that he saw May go past him, he then ignores the thought and rids off towards theb, when he arrives there he sees a young man wearing a white coat standing outside theb looking worried, Julian approaches him as he already knows what must have happened. Julian "You must me Joshua?" Julian gets off of his bike and greets Joshua. Joshua "Ah, yes I am Joshua. What can I do for you?" Julian "I am Julian, I am here to see Professor Birch" Joshua "Ah yes I think I heard Professor speaking about it, by the way, you look familiar." Julian just smiles looking at Joshua, Joshua also looks at Julian as he tries to remember where he had seen Julian then suddenly it clicked him. Joshua looks at Julian as his eyes grow wide and his hand trembles as he points it at Julian. Joshua "Wait, it can''t be, yo-you are Julian the Champion of Kanto region" Joshua trembles in excitement as he sees Julian. Joshua "I am your biggest fan, I saw all your battles and yourst battle with Lance was sooooo AWESOME, and you Gyarados was so huge and looked so powerful and, and your Kabutops was also so fast, I was at the edge of my seat the whole time, I didn''t think I will be able to meet you at all" Julianughed awkwardly as he looked at Joshua suddenly fanboying over him, he had thought that his fame would have gone down by now but it looks like he was wrong. Julian "Calm down, Joshua I am just a former champion so calm down" Joshua "If you haven''t forfeited your title you would still be the champion" Julian "Ok, Ok, enough of that for now, so where is Professor Birch?" Even though Julian knew where he was he still asked the question as he wanted to make the interaction normal and didn''t want to give off a mysterious vibe. Joshua "Ah, I forgot Professor Birch has gone out to find an ill Pikachu who suddenly ran away" Julian "Ah, so Ash already arrived here?" Joshua "You know Ash?" Julian "Yes, he came with me" Joshua "Oh, Mr. Julian you should wait inside until theye back" Julian "Ok let''s go in" Julian and Joshua walked in, Joshua offered some tea to him as he sat down near a window and looked outside, Joshua didn''t disturb him and carried on with his own work. As Julian was looking out said he suddenly saw arge electric bolt reaching the sky. Julian ''It looks like Pikachu is right there'' Julian "I will be heading out for a minute" Julian says and walks out, he doesn''t take his bike but rushes towards the area on his legs, even though he was not in his bike doesn''t mean he was any slower, he was running and jumping from one tree to another with super speed, he was more powerful and faster than some pokemons so it was no big deal, he soon arrived near the area and saw Ash, Professor Birch, and May and opposite to them is a huge robot which had a hold on Pikachu as it started to observe Pikachu''s electricity. Julian ''Those are the team rocket idiots, looks like everything is going well, I didn''t need to worry at all'' Seeing that the event was going as the same in the anime Julian sighed in relief and went back towards theb, on his way he heard an explosion and so he knew that team rocket was sted off again. Julian went back inside theb and waited for Professor Birch to arrive back, when they arrived back Julian saw Ash holding Pikachu who was unconscious. Julian "Is Pikachu ok?" Ash "Julian, yes, for now, he is fine but we still need to treat him" Julian nods his head then looks at Professor Birch. Julian "Professor Birch nice to meet you, but before that, you should treat Pikachu" Birch "Yes, Joshua quick prepare the machine" Soon Pikachu was taken into the emergency room and treated after the treatment was sessful Professor Birch came out and headed towards Julian. Birch "Hello nice to meet you I am Professor Birch, I guess you already know me hahahaha" Julian "Indeed I am Julian, I came here to give you something, it''s from Professor Oak" Birch "Well I am honored that a champion himself came to visit me" Julian took out a container which holed an evolution stone and some research work in it, Birch took it and handed it to Joshua for the safekeeping. Birch "You must have had a long and tiring journey, you should rest here for today" Julian "Thank you" Julian was shown to a room so he went in and decided to rest for the day. Chapter 92 - First Pokemon In Hoenn Next day at Professor Birch''sb Julian wakes up from his bed and gets ready to start his journey. When he walks out from his room he sees Ash, May, Joshua, and Professor Birch standing around three pokemons, them being Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip. Today is May''s first day of bing a trainer and she is choosing her first pokemon. Ash sees Julian and calls him. ?? Ash "Juliane here, see these pokemons they look so cool" Julian walks towards Ash and pats Pikachu on his head. Julian "Looks like Pikachu is back to perfect health" Ash "Yes" Julian looks at the three starter pokemons then look at May, May is also looking at Julian but she has no clue who is he. Julian "Professor I will be leaving then" Birch "Ok then, take care of your self" Julian "Sure" Ash "Can I join you?" Julian "As I said you we will split from here" Julian says nothing and goes away, Ash doesn''t mind it and soon looks at May and urges her to pick one, she picks Torchic as she did in the anime. Julian is currently on the road as he is thinking about his next destination. Julian ''The closest town here is Oldale Town but it doesn''t have a gym, the nearest gym is in Petalburg city, first I will visit Oldale town to restock some materials then go and challenge the gym in Petalburg city'' After deciding he heads towards Oldale town on his bike, when he reaches Oldale he sees very few houses and a pokemart in the middle of the town. Julian ''It really is a small town, I should quickly restock and explore the forest nearby, need to catch new pokemons before challenging the gym'' After buying stuff he needed he decided to visit the forest nearby which is home to a lot of Pokemons, on his way to the forest he saw a man wearing a green coat over a red shirt and had brown hairs, he had a Meowth on his side which wore a blue fedora hat, a red scarf on its neck and brown boots. Julian ''Have I see this guy somewhere, hmm may be in anime well I cannot remember every random face I saw in my past life'' Julian ignores this man and his Meowth and rides past him, the young man''s name is Tyson (A/N: he is one of Ash future rivals but his role was very small in the Hoenn region, he was introduced so that he could defeat ash in the semifinals and even won the Hoenn league after that) Tyson notice Julian riding past him, he looks at his Meowth and asks it a question. Tyson "Why do I feel like I have seen him somewhere?" His Meowth also shakes its head indicating that even it doesn''t know about Julian. Julian soon enters the forest but he cannot see any pokemons around but that doesn''t mean there are no pokemons around, he could feel the life force of the pokemons hiding in the bushes trees and underground but he doesn''t disturb them as he is looking for a pokemon that he is interested in catching, he already has an idea of what his pokemon team for Hoenn will be like. He went deeper into the forest to search for a pokemon which he wanted in his team but he had no luck till now, as he went deeper and deeper into the forest he was blocked by some wild pokemons but his old pokemons just swept them away like they were nothing. Julian was a little frustrated by now as he didn''t see any pokemons that he wanted, then he suddenly got an idea. Julian "Venusaure out" Venusaurnded on the forest floor and the ground shook, Venusaur had now reached his limit and was standing 3.4 meters tall from legs to his flower, Julian patted his head and smiled. Julian "Venusaur try finding the biggest tree in the forest" Venusaur nodded and nted his two vines deep into the ground as it started to feel the roots underground after sometime Venusaur sensed a powerful lifeforce of a tree really deep in the forest. Venusaur informed Julian about a tree and its direction. Julian "Good job Venusaur, now rest" He called back Venusaur to his Pokeball and went forwards towards the direction Venusaur indicated, he finally arrived at his destination, he saw a huge tree which looked old but was still filled with vitality whats more was Julian could sense a many pokemon''s life-force presents here and 90% of them were from the same species. Julian ''If I am not wrong this should be one of their nest'' As he got closer to the tree he was suddenly attacked by numerous attacks such as Bullet seeds, Seed Bombs, and Energy Balls, Julian moved fast and dodged all the attacks with no effort. Julian "Let''s go Venusaur" Venusaur enters and blocks the iing attacks which wereunched again, Venusaur roared loudly causing the attacks to stop, Julian stood on his spot as he stared at the top of the tree, soon a pokemon dived down the tree andnded on its feet, it was tall at least 2 meters and green, it had desing out of its arm, it was a Sceptile. Julian didn''t waste time and sent a telepathic voice to the Sceptile. Julian [I want you to give me a young Treecko from your nest] Sceptile was startled by the sudden voice in its head and became cautious of Julian. Sceptile [Why should I give you one of my nest''s children] Julian [No reason, well I can at least say that the one I choose will not be limited and will grow exceptionally strong] Sceptile is the leader of this nest and it knew that the world outside is big and there are powerful pokemons everywhere, Sceptile knows that if a pokemon is able toe under a good trainer its potential to grow stronger will increase unlike the one which doesn''t have a trainer, Sceptile thought for a while and took action. Sceptile [If you are able to defeat me I will grant you your wish] Julian [Great then let''s begin] Julian "Let''s go Venusaur" Venusaur stood up on his hind legs and came crashing down with his front two legs sending tremors through the surrounding, Sceptile jumped up and sent Bullet Seeds shooting towards Venusaur. Julian "Venusaur Energy Ball" Venusaur created a giant Energy Ball and sent it towards the iing Bullet Seeds and repelled it easily and continued moving towards Sceptile, Sceptile became startled but it quickly moved away as the Energy Ball went up high in the sky and exploded, Sceptile thought that it escaped but it didn''t notice that Venusaur has already sent his Vine Whip and caught Sceptile''s leg and mmed it on the ground. Sceptile was injured but it still struggled and got to its feet, it was about to continue but suddenly another Sceptile came down and stopped it from advancing any further, it was a female Sceptile. Julian ''Must be its mate'' Sceptile looked at its mate and stopped then looked at Julian. Sceptile [You have proved that you are strong, stronger than I thought so I will keep my promise] Sceptile made a cry and soon young Treeckos came down the tree slowly, some came out of the bushes, Julian was surprised by the amount of Treecko present here, he also saw some Grovyle up in the trees. Julian looked around and noticed some Treeckos which had great potential but he was not able to decide which to choose as he was about to choose he heard a rustle near the bushes, he looked at the bushes and saw a fluorescent blue pokemon with a red tailing out of it. Julian was surprised by seeing this pokemon. Julian ''A Shiny Treecko'' Julian looked at the Treecko and saw huge potential in it. Julian "That one" Sceptile looked at the shiny Treecko then back at Julian. Sceptile [Are you sure, that one is a little rebellious] Julian [That''s even better, he carries a strong presence with him, that what I was looking for] Sceptile nods its head. Sceptile [As you wish] Sceptile calls the shiny Treecko and tells him to join Julian, Treecko nodded his head and walked towards Julian he then looked at the giant Venusaur next to him, Julian went on his knees and looked at Treecko. Julian "So Treecko, lets be strong together" Treecko was in awe when he saw Venusaur, he then looked at Julian and nodded his head. Treecko has a strong desire to be strong from the start so he would always rebel and get into fights with other Treeckos and when it saw his leader being defeated so easily by Venusaur he was shocked, he always thought that his leader was the strongest but seeing how its leader was defeated he realized that the world is bigger than this tree he lives in, even though he didn''t like humans he decided to follow Julian. Treecko saw in Julian''s eyes the desire to make him strong just like Venusaur on his side, Julian took out a Pokeball and pressed it against Treecko''s head and Treecko entered the Pokeball, it beeped three times and the capture was sessful. Julian stood up and looked at Sceptile. Julian "I will be going then" Sceptile nodded and went back to the treetop with its mate, soon the other Treecko''s also disappeared into bushes and trees, Julian turned back and walked away, soon he arrived near a river bank and decided to take rest. Julian "Come out everyone" All of Julian''s Pokemon came out of the Pokeball and took a deep breath, they realized that they were in a new ce a new region itself, Treecko who was new to the team got shocked seeing all of Julian''s pokemons, he retreated and stood behind Venusaur, even though Treecko was brave being suddenly greeted by the overbearing strong presence of Julian''s pokemon scared him. Julianughed seeing this and picked up Treecko. Julian "You don''t have to be scared of then they are like family to you now" Julian looked at his other pokemons. Julian "Come and greet your new friend" Julian ced Treecko down and stood behind him, Infernape came forwards and greeted him first soon Heatran, Electivire, Gengar, Kabutops, Pidgeot, Venusaur came forward and greeted him, Snox was Snox so he was sleeping with no care in the world. Treecko was startled at first but soon got familiar with them, he was in awe seeing these monsters in front of him, each and everyone here is stronger than his previous leader. As Treecko looked around he suddenly saw the water suddenly rising in the river and he saw a huge red monstering out, he was shocked seeing this 14-meter long monster, luckily Venusaur was beside him and exined that Gyarados was one of them so Treecko calmed down and greeted Gyarados. Treecko quickly bonded with Gengar and Electivire, Julian looked at these three and shook his head, he just hoped that Treecko won''t get corrupted by them, Treecko also looked at Infernape, Heatran, and Gyarados in awe, he could easily see that they were the strongest here, Treecko didn''t feel Snox power as he was fast asleep. The day wasing to an end as Julian fed his Pokemon, Snox woke up smelling the food and while eating he also greeted Treecko and went back to sleep. This was Treecko''s first day in the outside world and he was already introduced to the extreme level he had to achieve to be the main force of Julian so Treecko was determined to not fail Julian. The day came to an end and Julian called it a night as tomorrow will be a new day for them. Chapter 93 - Poachers Julian was greeted with bright sunlight hitting his face, he opened his eyes to see that the tent has been removed, he looked around to see Gengar and Electivire not in the area so he guessed that it was there doing. Julian ''Well it''s already morning'' ?? Julian stood up and did some stretches, he saw Infernape meditating with Heatran, Treecko was also training with Venusaur. Julian ''System show Treecko''s stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Treecko Type - Grass Level - 6 Age - 8 months Bond - 40% HP - 40 Attack - 39 Defense - 30 Sp. Atk - 56 Sp.

Julian "Where is Gengar and Electivire?" Pidgeotnded near Julian and pointed at a cliff across the river. Julian ''I cannot do anything about these two'' Julian sighed and shook his head, he started to pack his stuff and waited for Gengar and Electivire toe back, soon they both arrived and wereughing loudly while they were at it. Julian ''They must have gone pranking others again I guess'' Julian "Get in your pokeballs let go" Julian sent them back to their pokeballs except for Treecko as he wanted Treecko to see the world outside his forest. Julian "Treecko hop on my shoulder" Treecko climbed up Julian and sat on his shoulder, Julian hopped onto his bike and rode off towards Petalburg city. Julian "We are going to Petalburg city, where we will have our first gym battle together" Treecko "Koo?" Julian "Ah I forgot to tell you, we will travel around Hoenn batteling with trainers and challenge gyms and be strong together" Treecko understands and nods his head happily. Julian "But first lets train and catch some new pokemons" Treecko nods and enjoys the fast ride on Julian''s shoulder, as they were passing through a road next to a forest they suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar, Treecko was startled by it, Julian stopped his bike and looked at the direction it wasing from, he felt pain and angering from that roar. Julian ''What could it be?'' Julian "Let''s go and check what is happening" Julian raced his bike and directly entered the forest, he dodged the trees in front of him with great skill as his bike would be in the air most of the time due to the uneven ground in the forest, when he arrived there he saw a huge Tyranitar surrounded by Houndoom, Weavile, and Mightyena. Some Houndooms and Mightyenas were on the ground not moving at all they were dead for good, crushed under Tyranitar''s legs, the Tyranitar was also covered with deep wounds as it was bleeding heavily, it was at itsst breath. Julian looked around as saw two men wearing brown clothes and holding a cage which had a Larvitar which was unconscious inside, it was tied up. Julian looked at these two men and his eyes went cold, he could easily see that they were pokemon poachers and they were here to poach this Larvitar and they are now trying to kill this Tyranitar as its scales fetch huge money in the underworld and ck market. Julian looked at Treecko as it was shivering from the site in front of it, he was angry, frustrated and scared, Julian patted his head and calmed it down. Julian "Treecko even though humans and pokemons live in harmony there are some which are trash in this world and doesn''t deserve to live but we cannot kill them even if they are in wrong, if we did there will be no difference between them and us, but that doesn''t me we can''t crush them" Treecko calmed down and listened carefully to Julian and itched his words into his heart, Julian walked in and looked coldly at these two poachers. The poachers were startled by the sudden entrance of an unknown person. Poacher 1 "Hey what do you think you are doing? get lost from here or we will kill you" Poacher 2 "Don''t let him go, let''s kill him before he escapes and informs the police" Poacher 1 "Houndoom, Weavile quick finish of that Tyranitar and kill this idiot" Poacher 2 "You to Mightyena" Julian "Infernape, Heatran take care of them" Julian released Infernape and Heatran form their pokeballs, Julian approached the two poachers while Infernape and Heatran headed towards the poacher''s pokemons, Weavile saw Infernape approaching so it dashed towards Infernape with its sharp ws exposed and tried to attack Infernape, Infernape grabbed Weavile''s hand and looked coldly at it, then he punched it right on the stomach using focus punch, the Weavile didn''t even know what happened before it got sted away and hit a tree, the tree waspletely knocked out but the Weavile didn''t stop as it went crashing from one tree to another until it finally was stopped by the fifth tree, Weavile waspletely out, it didn''t die but it won''t recover without a months medication. The Houndoom and Mightyena got scared by seeing their partner knocked out, they slowly retreated backward as they still had their eyes on Infernape, they were scared shitlessly so they didn''t notice Heatran right behind them, as they were backing away they suddenly bumped into something so they turned around and saw a huge 3 meters tall pokemon looking down at them, they felt the temperature of the surrounding growing hotter and hotter, they wanted to escape but they felt suffocated by the presence of these two monsters. Heatran pinned them down with his legs and stomped on them repeatedly until they werepletely knocked out. The poachers looked at what happened and suddenly realized they were fucked, they werepletely scared right now so they pulled out their guns and pointed it at Julian. Poacher 1 "St...Stop right the...there or I..I.I...I will shoot" Julian didn''t stop and continued moving forward and the next second a shot was heard but when the poachers saw that the bullet was stopped by Julian with his bare hand they wentpletely pale. Julian "You trash of society kill and sell pokemons for your own greed just for the money" Julian grabbed the cor of both poachers and pinned them down the ground, then he stomped on one of their knees and a snap was heard, Julian hadpletely disabled his leg for the rest of his life. He did the same to the other but it was one of his arms, they screamed in pain and rolled around the floor, Julian then took the cage and freed the Larvitar and woke it up, when it woke up it saw its mother heavily injured, it saw her breathing heavily as she was near the end of her life, she was already poisoned and there is no recovery now. Tyranitar looked at Julian and called softly, Julian understood what she was saying, she wanted him to take care of her baby, Julian approached the fallen Tyranitar and bent down and patted Larvitar who was hugging his mother and didn''t want to leave her, Tyranitar used herst breath and told her son to follow Julian, she had no choice but to trust her son to this random stranger but since he helped them she hoped he will take care of her son. She took herst breath and closed her eyes, Treecko saw all this, even though he acted bravely he was still shaken inside, Infernape approached him andforted him, Infernape was the closest to Julian and knew what Julian would do and think, he knew Julian did this to strengthen Treecko''s resolve. Julian took out his phone and called the police and informed them about the incident, soon Officer Jenny and few police officers came to the spot and saw few dead and unconscious pokemons, she saw the two injured poachers and took them in, she then inquired Julian about the situation. Julian "I heard a roaring from here and when I came here I saw these two had already captured the Larvitar and trying to kill his mother, I interfered and stopped them, I took them down but in the process, they received some injury" Jenny looked at Julian and went through the statement, even though she saw how badly the poachers were hurt she couldn''t do anything about it as poaching was a very serious crime and these two were one of the most wanted ones. Julian "Ok, thank you for your cooperation, we will bury Tyranitar here and take its baby" Jenny approached Larvitar to take him away but he quickly hid behind Julian, Julian saw this and felt pity for Larvitar. Julian "Officer Jenny I will take Larvitar with me, he has been scared by the situation and it looks like he only trusts me right now" Jenny looked at Larvitar shivering behind Julian with his eyes closed, she sighed and agreed to it. Jenny "Ok then take care of him" Julian nodded and lifted Larvitar and held him close to his chest, he stayed there till they buried Tyranitar in the ground, Julian looked at Larvitar and patted his head. Julian "Let''s go" Larvitar nodded his head and Julian walked towards his bike and rode off. Jenny looked at Julian and felt that she had seen him somewhere but couldn''t remember where. Jenny "I think I am imagining thing". ____________________________ A/N: Thanks to all these people who have been really suppotive towards me and my work. Eddie McBride JaeHan Joshua Smith king_solomon Silvermoonlite Chapter 94 - A New Day A New Pokemon Larvitar has calmed down a little and is now hanging out with Treecko, Larvitar also grew fond of Heatran and Infernape as they were the one who defeated the poacher''s pokemons. Even though he has calmed down he is still traumatized by his mother''s death, Larvitar would stick to Julian most of the time as he felt Julian would leave him just like his mother if he gets farther from him. ?? Julian looked at Larvitar and felt sad for him. Julian ''Pokemons are soplex, they are not humans but some times they show more humanity than us'' Julian lifted Larvitar and fed him until he fell asleep, he then looked at Treecko who was training with Venusaur as usual, Julian was surprised by Treecko, he thought that Treecko would need some time to get his thoughts together but Treecko proved him wrong. Julian ''Treecko really has a strong desire to grow strong, I should start training him seriously from now'' Julian got up from his seat and walked towards Treecko. Julian "Treecko lets begin your training from today" Treecko turned around and looked at Julian and nodded, Julian quickly came up with Treecko''s training regiment. Julian ''Treecko already has good special attack stats, I will first increase his physical attacks power'' Julian started to train Treecko by making him do some power burst routines, he nned to first increase Treecko''s strength then work on his stamina. After training for a few days Treecko leveled up and gained moves such as ''Quick Attack'' and ''Work Up''. Julian is currently inside a forest battling a Zizagoon which was few levels higher than Treecko. Julian "Treecko use Leer" Treecko''s re made Zigzagoon feel uneasy and its defense lowered a bit. Julian "Treecko use quick attack to confuse it" Treecko was fast and used the trees in the surroundings to change his direction suddenly and confusing Zigzagoon, Treecko suddenly got behind Zigzagoon and mmed into it and sent it sliding back. Zigzagoon adjusted itself and dashed towards Treecko using Extreme Speed. Julian "Jump up to dodge then use Pound" Treecko used his legs and jumped high in the air then did a front flip in the air and came down with full speed and mmed his tail on Zigzagoon''s head. Zigzagoon fainted, seeing his opponent lost Treecko became happy. Julian stood there holding Larvitar as he watched Treecko, Larvitar looked at Treecko and realized that he also wants to be strong so that he could protect his new friends, he didn''t want to be weak and didn''t want the thing that happened to his mother again. Larvitar started to struggle from Julian hold andnded on the ground and looked at Julian, Julian knew what Larvitar was thinking, he smiled and nodded. Julian "You will also grow strong with Treecko along your side" Treecko came towards Larvitar and patted his back and said that they will grow stronger just like Julian''s other pokemons. Larvitar nodded and walked towards Julian. Larvitar [I want to be strong just like others] Julian [Then I will make you strong just like others] Julian took out a Pokeball and threw it towards Larvitar, Larvitar moved forward and touched the Pokeball got himself captured and became Julian''s pokemon. Julian ''System show Larvitar''s stats'' System ''Affirmative'' ________________ Larvitar Type - Rock/Ground Level - 5 Age - 7 months Bond - 75% HP - 50 Attack - 58 Defense - 43 Sp. Atk - 35 Sp.

Ability- Guts(Locked), Sand Veil(Unlocked). __________________ Julian ''Hmm? his hidden ability is unlocked and he also knows Sand Storm, Iron Defense must be inherited by his mother, I never expected Larvitar would have this great start'' Julian called out Larvitar from his Pokeball. Julian "Ok Larvitar from now we will train hard and ovee your fears" Larvitar nodded and soon Julian started to prepare Larvitar''s training routine as well, the training was tough but both Treecko and Larvitar somehow pulled it off, they got assistance from their older teammates. They leveled up fast and learned new moves, Larvitar learned Substitute and Iron Head, Treecko didn''t learn any new moves but his attack has gone up, his speed and Special attacks also increased. Julian ''I just need one more pokemon and I will challenge the Petalburg gym'' But he didn''t know if he will get the pokemon he wanted, seeing that the day wasing to an end Julian decided to call it a day and started to prepare food for himself and his pokemons, Larvitar and Treecko had already be familiar with each and every pokemon of Julian and now they were sitting together eating their food, the ce was filled with happiness seeing this Julian was also very happy, as they were enjoying their time Julian suddenly heard a rustle from a bush nearby, even his pokemons became cautious as they looked at the bush and the next moment they saw a small white pokemon which had a green hair which looked like a bowl cut and pink t horns one in the front and the other in the back. Julian ''A Ralts?'' The Ralts came forward and joined Julian''s pokemon and started to eat from Gengar''s food. Julian ''It must have sensed the friendly atmosphere and came to take a look'' Gengar was surprised by the sneak attack on his food but didn''t mind it and shared it with the little Ralts, Ralts then went up to Larvitar and eat his food, then it went to Treecko and ate his as well, after feeling stuffed it walked towards Julian, it looked at Julian and tried to sense Julian''s emotion but it failed as though something was blocking it from sensing anything. Julian saw the little Ralts lifting its head and saw its pinkish red eyes looking at him with curiosity, Julian understood what Ralts was trying to do so he deactivated theyer with protected him from being read by pokemons and people with psychic powers. Ralts suddenly felt theyer blocking it from reading Julian''s emotion vanished, it sensed that Julian was now happy and was also excited to meet Ralts, Ralts became happy and got closer to Julian, Ralts felt a sense of security being with Julian so it eased up and fell asleep. Julian was surprised by Ralts, falling asleep like that on aplete stranger arms, well Julian didn''t understand why but his pokemons could understand why Ralts slept with no concern they knew the sense of security they felt when they were with Julian so it was not a new thing to them. Julian soon called it a day and went to sleep with Ralts on his side. Chapter 95 - An Upcoming Event Ralts has now be part of the team as she would follow Julian everywhere he goes so Julian decided to catch her, now that Julian had three pokemons with him he finally decided to go to Patelburg Gym to challenge it. Julian was now currently training his new pokemons on how to control their powers and energy flow, the fastest one to understand it was Ralts, she was very attentive, Treecko and Larvitar were not far behind as they also started to understand the powers inside them. ?? And so the three trained diligently until they finally reached Petalburg city. Julian was surprised by seeing that the city was bigger than he expected, he went to the nearest pokemon center and gave his new pokemons to nurse Joy to examine, he didn''t give his old pokemons as Julian knows them pretty well and he was more confident in treating them that nurse Joy but his new pokemons were still young and needed to be checked every once in a while. Julian was instructed by nurse Joy to wait for a while as today was a very busy day and many pokemons were admitted today, seeing that he had to wait he decided to take a stroll around the city. The culture here was very simr to when he was in Kanto, the only difference was that the pokemons were very different, asionally he would see some pokemons from Kanto but most of them were from Hoenn. Julian entered a shopping mall and he saw few people dressed in tv crew uniform running around, Julian was confused seeing this, he saw few people on the top with their pokemons trying to fit a huge screen near the ceiling, some were trying to hang out banners. He got curious and stopped a crew member and asked him some questions. Julian "What is going on?" The crew member didn''t know what happened but the started to exin everything he knew. Crew Member "You don''t know, the member of the elite four Sidney challenged the champion Wace for an exhibition match, this announcement was very sudden so everybody is busy preparing for it" Julian was surprised by this information, he let the crew member go and thought about this uing event. Julian ''An exhibition match, things just got interesting I should stay for a few days and watch this battle''. Julian then walked into a grocery store to buy some candy for his pokemons there he saw hispanies food product but they sold it a dor more than the one in Kanto, Julian knew about the increased price of the product in other regions but by what margin he had no idea it was all taken care by professor Oak and Jimi, he then moved on and bought some candies and headed back to the pokemon center to get back his pokemons. Nurse Joy "Here are your pokemons" Julian "Thank you" Julian took them back and went towards a five-star hotel to rest for the night. Once he was in he started to look about the Patelburg gym on the inte and how good the gym leader was. Julian "So his name is Norman and he must be May''s father as well, looks like he has recently ced as the gym leader of Petalburg gym, his win record is also impressive for a newly acquainted gym leader, his pokemons are Spinda, Linoone, and Vigoroth. Vigoroth being his go to pokemon" Julian ''I will challenge him tomorrow'' Julian ''System show my Pokemons stats'' System ''Affirmative'' ____________________ Larvitar Type - Rock/Ground Level - 8 Age - 7 months Bond - 79% HP - 50 Attack - 68 Defense - 55 Sp.

Chapter 96 - First Gym Battle In Hoenn Julian is on his way to the Patelburg gym to challenge the gym leader Norman, he is surprised to see posters are being hanged around the whole city about the uing battle between the champion Wace and Sidney the elite-four member. Julian ''Well champions are celebrities so this is not extravagant'' ?? Since Julian was once a champion he knew how people treated him, he is still treated the same in Kanto but the other regions are different as they are busy talking about their own region champion. Julian arrives in front of the Patelburg gym, it was a big building made up of fine wood and was constructed very well, it looked in and simple. Julian walked towards the door and opened it, he saw a wooden corridor leading towards a room, Julian went inside calling out to find if anyone was inside. Julian walked inside and saw a battlefield made up of wood. Julian ''A wooden battlefield, it might break but it also has its advantages as it is cheaper to repair than hard ground and stones'' Julian looked around the gym and found nothing special he could use as an advantage in a battle, as he was looking around a woman in and saw Julian inside. "How may I help you?" she asked. Julian, turned around and saw the woman, she had brown hair and blue eyes, Julian recognized her, it was May''s mom and Norman''s wife. Julian "I am here to challenge the gym" Caroline "Oh, wait a minute I will call my husband right away" Julian nodded and went back to looking at the battlefield to find anything that could help him the slightest. Caroline walked to the backyard to call her husband who was watering some nts. Caroline "Dear you have a challenger" Normal "Oh, I will be right there" Caroline thought about Julian and felt she had seen him somewhere but she could not remember properly. Caroline "I think I have seen him somewhere but cannot remember where have I seen him" Norman was also now interested in this challenger as he heard his wife say this, Norman quickly finished his work and walked towards the gym''s battlefield to see his challenger, Caroline also followed behind him as she was interested in seeing this battle, when he walked in he saw a young man with ck hair wearing a ck coat as he was looking out the window into the forest nearby. Norman "Are you here to challenge the gym?" Julian turned around and looked at Norman and nodded he then walked towards the challenger''s corner and stood there. Norman also took his side and looked at Julian, he also felt that he has seen Julian somewhere but even he has no idea where he saw him. Norman "So how many badges do you have?" Julian "This will be my first gym battle in Hoenn" Norman "So you are not from Hoenn" Julian "Indeed" Norman "Ok then let''s start the battle, darling would you mind being the referee" Caroline "Sure" Caroline got up from her seat and walked took her spot as the referee. Caroline "This will be a three on three battle between the challenger and the Gym leader, only the challenger is allowed to switch his pokemons during the battle" Both Julian and Norman nodded after hearing the rules, seeing both of them agree Caroline proceeded with her role Caroline "Then let the battle begin" Norman "Go Spinda" Norman sent out his first pokemon, it looked like a teddy bear with spiral patterns on its eyes and ears. Julian "Let''s go Larvitar" Norman "Spinda use Tackle" Spinda bolted towards Larvitar with full speed, Julian waited for the perfect moment until Spinda was close to Larvitar. Julian "Larvitar use Iron Defense" Spinda smashed onto Larvitar and felt as if it hit an iron wall, Spinda was stunned by the sudden counter. Julian "Bite" Larvitar quickly moved towards Spinda and used Bite, Larvitar grabbed onto Spinda''s arm and threw it back towards Norman. Norman became serious after this exchange. Norman ''Direct physical attack will do no good, I have to attack while maintaining distance'' Norman "Spinda use Psycho Cut" Spinda quickly made some distance between it and Larvitar and sent a Psycho Cut towards Larvitar. Julian "Larvitar use Iron Defense and move out of the way" Julian wanted to dodge the attack but he knew that Larvitar was not fast so he used Iron defense as a backup, Larvitar somehow managed to dodge the move by few inches, Julian didn''t waste time and called out a move. Julian "Larvitar use Iron Head" Larvitar charged towards Spinda while his head shined like metal. Norman "Spinda Dodge" Spinda quickly jumped to the side and evaded the Iron Head but it was still not safe, it was in the air leaving it vulnerable to attacks Julian "Now Bite" Larvitar used his tail to stop his movement and turned towards Spinda and used Bite, sharp jaw with teeth formed from Dark energy formed and closed down on Spinda. Spinda was sent rolling on the wooden floor, Julian wanted to finish this fast so he made his move. Julian "Now Sand Storm" Larvitar called out arge amount of sand out of nowhere and surrounded the whole battlefield. Norman "Spinda stay alert" Norman was worried as he couldn''t see Spinda and he knew that this match was almost over. Julian "Iron Head" Soon a mming sound was heard and Spinda was sent flying out of the Sand Storm, Spindanded on the floor, it was knocked out. Caroline checked Spinda and confirmed the results. Caroline "Spinda is unable to battle, Larvitar wins" Norman called back Spinda and looked at Julian. Norman "You really know how to lead a battle" Julian "Thank you" Norman nodded and sent out his next pokemon. Norman "Go Linoone" Linoone came out of his Pokeball, it looked like a weasel with an arrow-shaped pattern on its head to its tail. Julian called back Larvitar and sent his next pokemon. Julian "Ralts let''s go" Ralts came out of her Pokeball and looked at her opponent, it was her first battle and she was really excited for it. Norman "Linoone use Tackle" Linoone dashes towards Ralts at 60mph, Linoone is really fast pokemon but they have a huge w and that is they cannot make turns until theye to a full stop, Julian knew this so he chooses Ralts instead of Treecko or Larvitar to face it. Julian "Teleport" Ralts suddenly disappeared from her previous spot and appeared straight behind Linoone. Julian "Now Psyshock" Ralts sent Psyshock towards Linoone which was still trying to stop itself, the Psyshock inflected damage, Linoone turned and faced towards Ralts again ready to charge at any moment. Norman had a deep frown on his face as he knew what is going to happen, seeing that Ralts could teleport his Linoone has no chance of inflicting damage on it until it was a direct contact but he cannot stop the match like this so he continued the battle. The same move was called again and again by Julian, Teleport, and Psyshock until Linoone copsed on the ground, Linoone was just yed around by Ralts the whole battle. Norman called back Linoone back. Norman "It was really a huge disadvantage for me" Julian "It was indeed" Norman took out his final Pokeball, Vigoroth was both powerful and fast so it was his best choice against Julian. Norman "Go Vigoroth" Vigoroth was a white colored Sloth but unlike a Sloth it is fast. Julian also called back Ralts. Julian "Let''s go Treecko" Treecko came out of his Pokeball and looked at his opponent, it will be his first official battle so it was exited. Norman "That''s a very rare Treecko" Julian "Yes finding him was really hard" Norman "Vigoroth use Scratch" Vigoroth elerated towards Treecko and used its ws to swing it with full force at Treecko. Julian "Treecko duck then use Pound" Treecko used his tail as a spring and bent down to ducked the w as enough potential energy was stored in his tail he used it as a springboard and mmed his tail on Vigoroth''s face, Vigoroth was stunned by this sudden attack it had never encountered any opponent to use a move like this. Julian "Quick Attack" Treecko bolted towards the stunned Vigoroth but Vigoroth has already snapped out of it and dodged the quick attack. Norman "sh" Julian "Counter it with pound then Bullet Seed" As they were still in midair moving, Vigoroth turned around to deliver a sh towards Treecko, Treecko also used his tail and propelled it towards Vigoroth''s arm and countered the sh but it was not over as Treecko sent Bullet Seed at point nk range on Vigoroth''s face. Vigoroth had no time to defend itself and was hit and sent rolling on the floor but it got up quickly and rubbed off the pain from its face and red at Treecko. Norman "Vigoroth use Gunk Shot" Julian "Dodge" Treecko dodged the huge ball of poisonous substance shot at him but he didn''t realize Vigoroth has also closed in. Norman "Vigoroth Fire Punch" Julian "Treecko turn right and duck" Treecko quickly turned right and ducked as he saw a ming w go above his head, Treecko then took the air byunching himself up and locked on to Vigoroth Julian "Bullet Seed" Treecko shot numerous Bullet Seeds at Vigoroth. Norman "Vigoroth quickly move" Vigoroth moved fast and dodged but that was not the end of it, Treecko''s Bullet Seeds were like Gatling gun as it continued and followed Vigoroth behind, Vigoroth was busy escaping but it was not lucky as one of the Bullet Seed hit its leg and it fell crashing down. Julian "Quick attack" Treeckonded on the floor and dashed towards Vigorth using quick attack and mmed onto the fallen Vigoroth. Julian "Now Absorb" As soon as Treecko made contact and inflicted damage on Vigoroth he used Absorb on it and caused additional damage and recharged himself with Vigoroth''s energy. Norman "Vigoroth can you continue?" Vigoroth struggled but stood up and took a fighting stance but soon its legs gave up and it copsed but it was still cautious, Norman saw the determination behind Vigorth but he knew Vigoroth would just hurt itself if it continues to battle, so he made a decision. Norman "That''s enough, I dere Julian the winner" Caroline looked at her husband and smiled. Caroline "Since the gym leader has admitted defeat the winner is Julian" Vigoroth was a little down but Normanforted it and sent it back to its Pokeball, he then walked towards Julian and shook his hand. Norman "You are an exceptional trainer, it was a great battle" Julian "You were also great" Caroline came forward with a te which had the Bnce badge on it on her hand, Norman took the badge and gave it to Julian. Norman "This is the Bnce Badge proof that you defeated the Petalburg gym" Julian "Thank you" Julian took the badge and showed it to Treecko, he then looked at Norman and bid him farewell. Caroline looked at Julian disappearing but she still felt as if she saw him but where she could not recall. Caroline "Darling do you know him?" Norman "I felt like I have seen him but I cannot recall where" Caroline "Same here" Norman "Ok enough of that let''s go and do our work" Soon they two also went and continued what they were doing. That afternoon Caroline visited her son Max''s room to clean it up. Caroline "Look at his room, he didn''t even clean it before leaving with Ash and May" As she started to clean the room she noticed a poster near Max''s bed and when she saw the poster she was shocked. Caroline "DARLING" Norman who was doing his work was startled by hearing his wife scream, he bolted towards Max''s room as he heard her screaming from there, when he reached there he saw her wife standing still. Norman "What happened?" Caroline "Look at that" She pointed her finger at the poster near Max''s bed, Norman followed her finger and looked at the poster she was pointing, he was also shocked by seeing the poster, it was the poster of Julian with his OG pokemons, Infernape, Gyarados, Gengar, Electivire, Snox, Kabutops, Pidgeot, Venusaur. Heatran was never revealed by Julian so nobody knew of Heatran existence except few people he had shown him too. Norman was shocked seeing the poster. Caroline "Now I remember, we saw him on TV when he fought Lance and became the champion of Kanto" Norman "Does that mean?" Caroline "Yes you had a battle with a Champion" Norman suddenly felt goosebumps on his skin crawling up, then he suddenly realized. Norman "Then it means that a champion is going to participate in this years Hoenn League?" Caroline "It looks like it, he was using new pokemons right?" Norman "Yes, Ah wait? how could you not recognize him when you clean our son''s room daily and upon that he is our son''s idol" Caroline "Hehe, I forgot but that doesn''t mean that you are not to be med as well, even you didn''t recognize him, how could you be a gym leader?" Norman was really embarrassed but he kept his cool. Caroline "Max would be shocked if he knew who visited us, he will regret going with Ash and May" Norman nodded his head. Julian was now going back to his hotel room as he looked at Treecko holding the Bnce badge in his hand, he remembered how excited Chimchar was when they won their first badge together. Chapter 97 - The Event Julian stayed at Petalburg city for a day as he wanted to see the battle between the top trainers of Hoenn, one is a member of the elite four and the other is the champion. Julian had already booked the ticket online and waited for the day toe, today was the day he walked out of his room and noticed a tall young man wearing a white beret with a cape and a hat walking in front of him, he had teal blue colored hair. ?? Julian ''I didn''t expect that he would stay in the same hotel as I am'' This young man is Wace the champion of Hoenn, Julian followed right behind him as he covered his head with the hood of his coat, they both entered the lift. Wace looked at Julian but couldn''t see his face as it was covered with his hood. Wace "Which floor?" Julian "Parking lot" Wace also wanted to go to the parking lot so he pressed the button as the lift went down, there was silence inside the life as both of them stayed silent and minded their own business, once they reached parking lot Wace went out first and took a nce at Julian but he could not see his face properly, he just saw the color of his eyes and ck hair in front of his face, Julian didn''t stay there for long and rode off in his bike. Wace "Hmm, Have I seen him somewhere?" Wace wondered for a second then got in his car and rode off towards the mall where the event was held. Julian arrived at the mall and saw a huge number of people crowded at the entrance towards the battlefield, Julian didn''t have to join them as he booked a VIP ticket so he was lead to a personal room by one of the workers present there, even though the worker was curious who this man was but he didn''t get involved as he knew that meddling in rich people business is risky. Julian took his seat and observed the battlefield and the surroundings, he saw rooms just like his across the battlefield, as he was going through the VIP rooms he noticed few interesting people, one was a slim middle-aged man with red hair wearing a red and ck uniform style coat. Julian ''If I am not wrong he must be the leader of Team Magma but what is he doing here'' Julian continued and saw one more important person, she has blond hairs and very pale white skin, she is one of the members of the elite-four cia. Julian ''Hmm, looks like this event is not a simple exhibition battle, a criminal organization boss, two elite-four members, and a Champion gathered at the same ce, what could be the reason for this gathering, did Team Magma find something?'' Julian was indeed curious about this situation but he was not desperate enough to find out what is happening. Julian ''Well I don''t care about what are they doing here, I will just carry on with leaving my life in peace, and its none of my concern I am not from Hoenn anyway'' Julian put this thought at the back of his mind and waited for the battle to begin, soon Wace and Sidney came forwards and started their battle, it was a one on one battle, Sidney used his Absol and Wace used his Milotic'' The battle was intense and Julian was really impressed by Wace''s Milotic, she was beautiful but strong and swift as well, at the final moment of the battle Wace''s Milotic beat Sidney''s Absol with an Ice Beam andpletely freezing it on the spot. After the battle was over Julian got up from his seat and walked away, as he was leaving the mall he saw few Team Magma grunts walking around the mall, since Julian had nothing else to do for the day he decided to follow one of them. Julian picked one of the grunts and started following him, the grunt went from one ce to another, roaming mindlessly inside the mall, as Julian was walking around he saw few security guards guarding an entrance which led to a dark room, seeing the guards the Team Magma Grunt hid behind a wall and started to talk into his microphone which was nted in his earpiece. Julian decided to hear his conversation. Grunt "Boss I found the room where the Orb is kept but there are guards everywhere" On the other side of the microphone was the leader of Team Magma. Maxie "Gather the team, it could be a trap but this is a risk worth taking if they really have the Orb" Julian was surprised by hearing the conversation between them. Julian ''Are they talking about the Red Orb that could control Groudon'' Julian got curious and used his Omniforce and sent it into the guarded room, where he saw a Red Orb kept right in the middle withsers surrounding the whole Orb. Julian ''It looks like an rm trigger but it''s useless'' The Omniforce went past through theseryer and touched the Orb and examined it. Julian ''Hahaha, it is indeed fake, looks like they are trying to capture Maxie by baiting him with a fake Orb'' Julian was now really doubting this leader of Team Magma, even though he knew this might be a trap he still came to take a look at it. Julian ''He is either really stupid or very confident from escaping for them'' Julian decided to wait and watch this, soon he heard a loud booming from inside the guarded room, it looks like Team Magma sted the roof and trying to steal the Orb, soon the rm went off and the two elite-four members and Wace came and surrounded Maxie. Maxie "It really was a trap huh but you cannot catch me, hahahahah" Suddenly a chopper came flying and released multiple bombshells on the ground, Maxie suddenly pressed a button and he was surrounded by a red forcefield the bombshellnded and sted causing the whole area to be covered with gas which contained mild poison, feeling hard to breathe all three of them bolted outside as they saw Maxie getting inside the chopper and escaping. Julian looked at them and couldn''t shake his head. Julian ''What did they expect, did they think that just surrounding him would make him submit, he is a viin character he will use dirty tricks whenever he wants, however, he wants'' Now that the trap failed Julian lost interest and went back to his hotel room. When he reached his room he opened his phone and looked at the map. Julian ''The closest city from Petalburg is Rustboro City and it looks like it has a gym as well, then that''s decided next destination is Rustboro City'' Julian called it a day and decided to rest. Chapter 98 - I Am Quite Early Julian is on his way towards Rustboro city but to reach there he has to travel through a thick forest filled with wild pokemons, he is currently riding through the forest in his bike when he suddenly noticed something ahead of him. The area in front of him waspletely dark even though the sun was high in the sky and the other area around the forest was quite bright. ?? Julian ''What could this be?" Julian stopped his bike and got off of it and walked towards the dark area when he got near he felt ghost energying from there. Julian ''Is this the work of a ghost type pokemon?'' Julian sent out Gengar as he didn''t want to take any chances. Julian "Gengar look into it and tell me what is going on" Gengar nodded and went into the dark area and disappeared, Julian stood there as he waited for Gengar toe out, after waiting for five minutes he suddenly noticed the changes in the dark area the, it looked like it was fading. Julian ''What is Gengar up to?'' Just he was about to enter to check for himself he noticed two shadows bolting out of the area, one was Gengar who is chasing and another is Dusknoir also a Ghost-type Pokemon. Julian looked at the fleeing Dusknoir and figured out that it was the culprit behind this area going dark. Julian ''It must have made it hideout here and trying to find some spirits around here'' Gengar soon came back as he wasughing, Julian knew Gengar gave that Dusknoir a hard time, he sent him back to his Pokeball and continued his way towards Rustboro city. Julian spent most of his day riding through the forest and when the day was about to end he finally saw the end of the forest and was greeted by the site of a big city which was lit with lights everywhere and the main attraction was a tall tower right in the middle of the city. Julian "I have finally arrived after riding through the thick forest for so long" Julian hit the elerator and rode off with full speed towards the city. Julian ''If I am not wrong the Devon Corporation''s headquarters is also here in Rustboro city'' Devon Corporation is one of the biggestpanies here in Hoenn that make different products for the trainers. Julian entered the city and quickly went into a hotel to call it a day, next morning Julian woke up a littlete. Julian ''Its 10 am I should visit some ces around before challenging the gym here'' Julian got ready and headed out to take a look at the city''s sites, he visited the tallest tower in the city, then he went to the Devon Corporation to check out how do they make products for the trainers like navigators, digital wrist watches and many useful things a trainer might need while he is traveling. Afterpleting his tour around the corporation he decided to visit the Pokemon Trainer''s School when he reached there he was greeted by an old man wearing a butler outfit as he started to show around Julian around the ce. Julian was currently looking at a battle between two amateur trainers in the school when he heard a siren going out, then he heard a bang sound. Julian ''Hmm, what''s going on?'' Julian walked out of the battle ssroom and went towards the source of the sound when he reached there he saw a big Wurmple robot with the three team-rocket idiots inside, he also saw Ash, May, Max and Brock with Roxanne the gym leader and few kids in front of it. Julian ''What the heck, why are Ash and his gang still here I thought he should have already defeated the gym leader and went to another city, looks like I am quite early'' Julian had started his journey a little slower than Ash so that he won''t bump into him that much but it looks like his calction were not on the mark this time. Julian ''Well I can''t do anything now except wait and see what happens'' Julian just stood there as he watched how pathetic team rocket really was, as they got beat up by little kids who had no experience when it came to pokemon battle, Roxanne finished the battle with her Geodude by using a Roll Out. Julian ''A fast and powerful Roll Out, impressive'' Julian was impressed by the power behind Roxanne''s Geodude Roll Out, he saw team rocket sent flying, as he had nothing to do he decided to leave and challenge the Gym tomorrow after Ash finishes his battle, Julian turned around and left. Brock who was also there noticed Julian but he didn''t see himpletely as Julian had already turned around and left. Brock "Hmm, is that Julian?" Ash "Julian? where?" Ash looked left and right but couldn''t find Julian at all. Brock "It must have been my imagination" Ash "Ah I see" Max "Who is Julian" Ash "A friend of ours" Max "I see" They also went their separate ways as Ash needed to prepare for his battle against Roxanne. Chapter 99 - Brocks Regret On his way to the gym, Julian was wondering what pokemon he will battle as Roxanne has more than just two pokemons shown in the anime and there is not much information about her other pokemons on the inte either so Julian was a little curious about his battle today. When he reached there he saw a building made out of huge rocks, just by looking at the structure one would tell that this is a rock type gym. ?? Julian walked inside to find Ash and his friends there talking to Roxanne, Julian covered his head with the hood of his coat and proceeded forward, a student of Roxanne noticed Julian and came forward to talk to him. Student "Sir how may I help you?" Julian "I am here for a gym battle" Student "A Gym battle?" The student was surprised as he turned towards Roxanne to inform her. Student "Teacher looks like you have another challenger today" Roxanne who was speaking to May looked towards the student and noticed Julian behind him, Ash, Max, May, and Brock also noticed him but due to his head being covered they couldn''t see his face clearly. Roxanne "Oh another challenger, but I have to battle Ash" Julian "I can wait" Roxanne "Ah, if you can wait then it''s fine" Julian nodded and went towards the spectator area and took his seat, Ash didn''t think much about it and went towards the battlefield to start his battle. Brock, on the other hand, was on to Julian as he felt he had seen this young man somewhere. The battle started as Ash sent out his Treecko against Roxanne''s Geodude. Max "Based on type Treecko''s got the advantage" Brock "That''s true but there is a small problem Treecko doesn''t know how to use any Grass-Type moves yet" May "Then that''s a big problem" Max "That''s what makes it more exciting, I can''t wait to see what Ash strategy is" Brock looks at Julian once again and this time he notices the crimson red eyes of Julian and finally figures out that this is indeed Julian and he was right all along. Brock "What do you think Julian?" Julian who was watching the battle heard his name being called, he turned around and saw Brock so he lifted his hood, he already had a hunch that Brock must have noticed him so he wasn''t surprised at all. Julian "Oh, you recognized me" Brock "Actually I saw you yesterday at school but I thought I was seeing things but seeing you here proved that I was right" Max and May looked at Julian, May noticed Julian and felt that she had seen him somewhere then she remembered the handsome young man she saw at Professor Birch''sb, Max, on the other hand, was stunned by seeing Julian. Max "I...It...It can''t b...be" May "Max what happened" May is now worried about seeing her brother turned into a statue. Brock realized Julian''s status and felt that he made a mistake, he hadpletely forgotten that Julian was once a champion, heughed awkwardly seeing Max in this state, traveling with Max these few days Brock came to know Max admired many people from Kanto and one of them is Julian the undefeated champion. May "Max what''s wrong?" May shook Max as he snapped out of it, as he was about to scream in excitement Brock suddenly covered his mouth. Brock "Not now, Ash is having a battle" Max soon calmed down but he couldn''t hide his excitement, Julian just ignored them and looked back at the battlefield. Max saw Julian looking at the battlefield so he also started to look at the battlefield, the battle had already started and Ash called out a Quick Attack and Geodude stopped it and were now having a pushing battle, Geodudended a punch and sent Treecko flying up but Treecko used the momentum of its fall andnded a Pound on Geodude. Brock "Julian, who do you think is gonna win?" Julian "This round will be Geodude''s" Max and May were surprised by his firm answer but they didn''t talk and looked at the battle as soon the battle came to an end, Geodude finished the battle with a Mega Punch, Treecko tried to stand up but failed and fainted. Max and May were shocked and looked at Julian again they couldn''t believe he called out the result before the match even ended. Max was really excited to see his Idol and now seeing him in person was more exciting for him. The next pokemon Ash sent is Pikachu. Julian "Looks like Pikachu had grown weak" Brock "It has indeed, It cannot use the moves it previously learned" Max "What do you mean?" Brock "Pikachu knew many moved before they came to Hoenn, but due to Team rocket exposing Pikachu to strong electric ma Professor Birch had to absorb all of Pikachu''s stored electricity so Pikachu lost most of his moveset" Max was shocked after hearing this, May also remembered the incident that happened in the forest with Team Rocket trying to steal Pikachu. The battle went on and Pikachu defeated Geodude with a close-range Thunder, then it even defeated Nosepass after a tiring battle. Ash joined the group and saw Julian there. Ash "Julian are you here to challenge the gym as well?" Julian nodded and proceeded towards the battlefield. Max was on the edge of his seat. Max "I can''t believe I am able to see a Champion battle right in front of my eyes" May "Champion?" Max "You don''t know? how can you be such an idiot you don''t know who Julian is, I am ashamed to call you my sister" May "Hey, hold your Horsea what do you mean by you being ashamed by me" Brock "May, Julian was actually a Champion of Kanto" May was shocked by this sudden info dump. Max "Not just any Champion, the Undefeated Champion, he has never lost a battle and all his pokemons are monsters among monsters" Ash "Now that I think about it Ipletely forgot that Julian was a champion as we are friends" Max "What you are friends with the champion, introduce me to him" Brock "Max stay still they are about to start their battle" Max sat down and looked at the battlefield. Max "Which pokemon will he use, will he use his Gyarados or Infernape or Venusaur" Brock "I don''t know, just stay still" Brock was now getting annoyed by Max, he regretted calling out Julian while he was minding his own business. This was certainly got noticed by Roxanne who was also shocked by getting to know the Identity of the person in front of her. Julian "You don''t have to worry I won''t use my old pokemons" Roxanne sighed in relief as she knew what a pokemon that is at a champion level could do. Roxanne "I am honored to battle the champion of Kanto, please go easy on me" Julian "I am not a champion anymore so don''t mind the formalities, and let''s begin" Roxanne nodded her head, she was also excited as she was battling against a champion, not many trainers are privileged enough to actually have a battle with a trainer who has a champion level status. The student came forward and acted as the referee. Referee "This will be a two on two battle, as per rules only the challenger is allowed to substitute his pokemon in middle of the battle, whoever doesn''t have any Pokemon left at the end of the battle loses" Roxanne was determined and wanted to give a full-on battle to Julian. Roxanne "Go Graveler". Chapter 100 - Second Gym Battle Roxanne sent Graveler as her first pokemon to face Julian, Julian looked at his opponent''s pokemon and smiled. Julian "Treecko your up" ?? Julian sent out his Shiny Treecko, Treecko looked at his opponent and took a stance as he was ready to battle. Ash and his friends were surprised to see Julian also had a Treecko. Ash "Hey Julian also has a Treecko" Brock "Yes but it looks very different, those colors on it look so bright" Max "Cool, it''s a shiny Treecko I also want one when I grow up" May "Whats a Shiny?" Brock "Shiny pokemons are variant of same species and have apletely different color scheme, just like Ash''s Noctowl" May "So Ash also has a shiny pokemon?" Ash "Yes, Noctowl is back at Professor Oak''sb in Kanto" Back at the battlefield, Roxanne bes alert as she is at a disadvantage and she doesn''t know what type of moves does Treecko knows. Roxanne "Graveler use Rollout" Graveler curled itself and rolled towards Treecko with full speed, Treecko stood there as he waited for his opponent to get closer. Julian "Jump, Bullet Seed" Treecko used his tail to jump up and dodged Graveler then shot continuous Bullet Seeds at Graveler. Roxanne "Graveler keep rolling and dodge the Bullet Seeds" Graveler kept rolling and dodged the Bullet Seeds, some would hit it but they would get rebounded as Graveler is rolling at very high speed. Max "The Bullet Seeds didn''t affect at all" Brock "That''s not it, the Bullet Seeds did damage but due to Graveler spinning at such high speed they are getting rebounded before causing major damage" Max "What will Julian do?" Brock "If we are talking about Julian there is no need to worry, from what I have seen so far and how Julian battles it always end up in his favor" Max "So cool" Julian "Treecko Bullet Seeds in front of Graveler''s path" As Graveler was rolling and dodging the attacks, Treecko used Bullet seeds in front of Graveler''s path and made a small pit in with Graveler got caught, due to Graveler''s weight and the soft ground Graveler couldn''t advance further. Julian "Absorb" Treecko moved fast and activated Absorb but the effects were more powerful, Julian noticed that Treecko learned Mega Drain. Julian ''Mega Drain, it must have upgraded from Absorb'' Treecko drained half of Graveler''s energy and so Graveler became tired, it could not get out of the pit it was stuck in even after trying rollout, the harder it tried the deeper it went. Roxanne was in a pinch, she didn''t expect that the battlefield which was made specifically so that her rock type pokemons can have an edge became their own downfall. Roxanne "Graveler use your arms instead of Rollout to get outside" Graveler started to use its hands and climb up the pit. Julian "Treecko, use Pound" Graveler was vulnerable currently as its arms were also upied, if it lets go to defend itself it will go back into the pit again but if it didn''t it will still go back to the Pit after being attacked. Roxanne didn''t want to take another hit but didn''t want to get stuck inside the pit as well, she soon came up with a decision. Roxanne "Graveler let go" Graveler let go of its hold and rolled back to the bottom of the pit, Treecko stopped in his tracks and looked at his trapped opponent. Julian "Mega Drain" Treecko used Mega Drain once again and drained the remaining half of Graveler''s energy and knocked it out. Referee "Graveler is unable to battle Treecko wins" Max "Julian won" Ash "That Treecko is really strong, Treecko and I should also start to train harder if we want to battle them" Max "In your dreams, you can''t evene closer to the champion" Back at the battlefield Roxanne calls back Graveler and looks at Julian, she now knows what is the difference between battling a normal trainer and a champion, even though Julian has new pokemons he still has his battle instinct that is exceptional and cannot be mastered just by doing normal training and battles. Roxanne "Then, I choose you Lairon" Roxanne sends a Lairon a Steel/Rock type, Julian look at this new pokemon, it''s his first time seeing a Lairon in real life so he doesn''t know much about it except what''s written in books and research papers. Julian calls back Treecko and he doesn''t want to overwork him. Julian "Larvitar you''re up" Larvitar enters the battlefield and looked at his Opponent. Brock "This is going to be an interesting battle, both have a type which has an advantage over the other" Roxanne "Lairon use Mud p" Julian "Dig" Larvitar uses Dig and dodges the Mud p. Julian "Iron Head" Larvitar suddenlyes under Lairon and smashes into it using Iron Head, Lairon is sent rolling on the ground but it gets up after shaking away the pain. Roxanne "Body m" Roxanne noticed that Larvitar was not fast so she chose to approach it with powerful physical attacks. Julian "Larvitar used Sand Storm" Suddenly the whole battlefield is covered with Sand Storm covering everywhere causing Lairon to get startled as it lost its target in the middle of the Sand Storm. Roxanne "Don''t panic use Shock Wave" Lairon sent Shock Wave across the whole field but they didn''t know if it was effective, they were in bad luck as Larvitar''s hidden ability was Sand Veil and it allowed Larvitar to evade pretty much any attack in a Sand Storm. Julian "Use Bite" Larvitar used Bite and dark Kenine formed from Dark energy came down on Lairon, it was hurt but it still had some strength left in it, but until the Sand Storm was their there was no way for it to attack Larvitar. Julian "Finish it Iron Head" Larvitar for onest time smashed into Lairon from the side using Iron head and sent it flying off the battlefield as it fainted. Referee "Lairon is unable to battle, Larvitar wins, hence the winner of this challenge is Trainer Julian" Max "He Won that too so easily, it was nothing like Ash" Ash "Hey what do you mean?" Max "Of course I am saying that your battle cannot bepared to that of Julian" Brock "Enough you two" May "Max just stay quiet" Max "Sorry" Roxanne came forwards and handed over the Stone Badge to Julian. Roxanne "No wonder you were the champion, you could even win so easily against me with new inexperienced pokemon" Julian "You are not bad either if you perfect your battle strategy you might even be an elite-four, and your Lairon has such great potential, it will grow into a fine Aggron one day" Roxanne "Thank you" Julian "Then I will be going" Julian walked out of the gym and was followed by Ash and his friends. Ash "Julian so where are you going next?" Julian "Dewford Ind, the closest gym should be there" Ash "I see then we will also head towards Dewford Ind" Julian "Ok then I have some work to do, you should look around the city, you can find everything here" Julian soon escaped from there leaving them staring nkly at his back. Max "Wait, I couldn''t say hi to him" Max started toin loudly as he was dejected as he couldn''t talk to his Idol. May "Don''t worry Max we will meet him some other time" Max "I guess you are right" And so they also went their own ways. Chapter 101 - Primal Reversion. Julian quickly wanted to leave Rustboro city he wanted to investigate the ruins in Dewford ind which stated about the legendary Pokemons Groudon and Kyogre and there is also the Dewford gym. Julian quickly boarded a ferry and headed towards Dewford Ind, on his way there he asked some question to the captain of the ferry but the captain didn''t know anything about the ruins in Dewford ind. ?? Julian ''These ruins must be inside Granite Cave, this cave is still not explored properly by researchers due to the abundance of Pokemon present there that attack anyone crossing their path'' After traveling for a day and a half Julian finally reached Dewford Ind, the Ind was very big but there was only one small town present here. Julian walked around the town and found the pokemon center so he decided to give a quick rest to his pokemons, he also saw the Dewford gym but he didn''t want to challenge it right now. After his pokemons had their short rest Julian decided to go and explore the Granite Cave, referring the digital map in his phone he reached the Granite Cave, as he was about to enter he saw some cave explorers running out of the cave. Julian looked at them wondering what happened, one of them stopped as saw Julian trying to enter the cave. Explorer "Friend, you should not go inside there are arge number of Zubats and many pokemons inside which attack you without any warning" Julian stopped and looked at the Explorer Julian "Thank you for the warning but I need to check something inside the cave" Explorer "I don''t advice you but it''s your decision" The Explorer left and Julian entered the cave, it was dark but he could see the inside of the cave clearly, after looking around the cave for some time he found few people exploring it as well. Julian ''Even though the pokemons here attack but still peoplee here to find precious stones'' Every person he met inside were trying to find a precious stone. Julian continued to go deeper inside, as he went deeper he encountered fewer people and more pokemons, the cave was filled with Zubats hanging upside down the ceiling and some of then even attacked Julian but Julian sent Electivire to take care of them. Even after walking around the cave for almost one hour it didn''te to an end, Julian realized that this cave continues to go underground and it was not naturally formed as well, it was man-made, he realized this after seeing the marking made on the wall of the cave, it looked like they were hacked by something pointy. Julian "These marking are old, this cave must have been extended in ancient times by humans" The deeper he went the darker it got as the sunlight couldn''t reach inside, even he couldn''t see as he still needed light to see around so he had to ry on Infernape as he went deeper. Something finally caught his attention, another opening on a wall, he walked in to find it was filled with pokemons but they didn''t attack due to Infernape presence they got scared and ran away, he saw Geodudes, Arons, Makuhitas, and Zubats everywhere. Julian "These must be the dominant species in this cave I guess" He walked further and suddenly something caught his attention as this thing shined due to the light being emitted by Infernape''s fire, Julian walked closer to the source and found a Mega Stone stuck deep in the wall. Julian "A Mega Stone" Julian got excited about finding one here. Julian "Infernape break the wall" Infernape used Mach Punch and shattered the wall into pieces, the Mega Stone fell on the ground so Julian picked it up, he cleaned the stone by removing the small stones stuck to it. It has a clear outeryer and blue, white, and silver color in the core, he polished the stone and showed it to Infernape. Julian "Do you feel anything?" Infernape looked at the Mega Stone and didn''t feel anything from it so he shook his head, Julian then looked at the Mega Stone and tried to recall anything he could from the anime but he failed as so many Mega Stone looked alike with slight color difference. Julian then thought of something and used Omniforce to check the Mega Stone and found something interesting, he felt properties of Steel radiating from it. Julian "It should be a Mega Stone for a Steel Type pokemon" Julian called out Heatran to look at it but he got the same reaction from Heatran as Infernape, he didn''t feel any attraction from it. Julian "Let''s keep it, I will look into it when I have some free time" Julian continued his exploring and at one point he was attacked by a wild Aggron and it was pummeled by Infernape, Julian also tested the Mega Stone on Aggron but it also gave no reaction to the Mega Stone, Julian wondered which Pokemon''s Mega Stone was this as it didn''t even react to the caves steel type pokemon, that is Aggron. Finally Julian reached his destination he found a rusted old locked iron gate blocking his path. Julian "Infernape break the lock" Infernape used Mack Punch and shattered the lock, then Julian pushed the gate open and what greeted him was a huge room carved with ancient writings and drawings of ancient fossil pokemons leaving with humans in peace. Julian was fascinated by these carvings, it told him the story of ancient time and how humans and pokemons interacted with each other, he observed each and every carving and each and every one of them told a story, Julian felt like he was reading a book and as he went forwards following the carvings he saw carvings of three huge pokemons fighting with each other. Julian was mesmerized by this grand site in front of him. Julian "Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza" Julian looked at these monsters but they looked very different from their normal form. Julian "It not their normal form, it looks like Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Mega Rayquaza" Julian looked at the writings below them, Julian had been trying to learn the ancientnguage for quite some time, even though he was not perfect at it he could still figure out what it said. The writings went like this. [The legendary Pokemons Groudon and Kyogre came in contact with their respective orb and it fueled them with their true power, they attended their Primal Reversion, filled with unlimited power they started to do what they were meant to do as it was what the Original One wanted them to do, Primal Groudon started to creatend everywhere and Primal Kyogre started to drown everynd mass to create ocean, and it didn''t take long for them to encounter each other, they see each other as mortal enemies as both of them oppose the other. They started to fight and their fight caused a great cmity an extinction of both humans and pokemons, but the Original One was wise as he had created another force of nature. Rayquaza came down tearing the sky in its Mega form, Mega Rayquaza battled both Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon and separated them from their Orb and put them to sleep, Rayquaza then took the Orb and ced it on Mt. Pyre. Rayquaza then returned to the sky and humanity and pokemons survived] Julian read the ancient script and felt he was witnessing the even himself. Julian "Primal Reversion, not a mega evolution but it restores Groudon and Kyogre''s true power". Julian felt a new world opened for him, even though he knew of these monsters existence he just knew it from the anime now seeing the events that took ce countless years ago he couldn''t help but imagine what kind of power they held. Julian sighed and decided to leave as his purpose of visiting the cave was over and he also acquired a Mega Stone so he was pleased with this little adventure he had in Granite Cave. Chapter 102 - Gym Leader Brawly. On his way out of the Granite Cave, he saw a young man entering deep into the cave, this young man had light blue hair and wearing an exploration uniform, Julian recognized this young man, he is Steven Stone the heir of Devon corporation and the future champion of Hoenn region, Julian took note of him as he had the potential to be as strong as Lance but right now he is stillcking. Julian came out of the cave and felt the warm sunlight of setting sun on his face and was surprised, being inside the cave he had lost track of time and seeing the day hade to an end he decided to rest for the day. ?? Julian walked around the town and found a small inn near the beach and decided to rest here for the day as it was peaceful and quite out here, the day ended and the next day arrived, the bright sunlight woke Julian up, he decides to visit the Dewford gym as early today as he wanted to go to the next city as soon as possible as there was nothing interesting left in this small town. After getting ready he directly went towards the gym, when he reached there he saw a middle-aged man sitting at the entrance of the gym, he was the caretaker of the gym and also advised trainers about the gym leader. Caretaker "Young man the gym leader Brawly is a fighting type trainer so I advise you to not use normal type pokemon to challenge him" Julian nodded and walked past the middle-aged man and walked towards the staircase leading to the battlefield, he reached the end of the staircase and found a young man punching a punching bag, he was Brawly the gym leader of this gym. Brawly saw Julian and stopped his training and looked at Julian. Brawly "Are you a challenger?" Julian nodded his head. Brawly "Great I was waiting for a challenger for a long time, my pokemons need some sparring partners" Brawly walked towards the battlefield followed by Julian. Brawly "There is no referee today so I will tell you the rules, we both will use two pokemons and you are allowed to substitute your pokemon in the middle of the battle and the rest is the same as every gym" Julian nodded and took his spot on the battlefield Brawly "Then let''s begin, go Machop" Brawly sent out a Machop, it entered the battlefield and performed some punching moved in the air disying its skills. Julian "Ralts you''re up" Julian sent Ralts, Brawly became serious as he saw Ralts, he was at aplete disadvantage against a Psychic-type Pokemon. Brawly "Machop use Focus Energy" Machop used to focus energy and brought all its power into a single point in its body as it wanted to one hit Ralts. Brawly "Now Karate Chop" Julian didn''t let this happen. Julian "Teleport" Ralts suddenly disappeared from her stop and appeared at another ce on the battlefield. Julian "Calm Mind" Ralts activated Calm Mind and increased her Special Attack and Special Defense. Julian "Psyshock" Brawly "Dig" Machop suddenly used Dig and hid underground to escape from Psyshock. Julian "Ralts use Double Team" Ralts made multiple copies of her self and when Machop came out of the ground to attack Ralts it just passed through one of Ralts''s copy. Julian "Finish it Psyshock" Since Machop was in the air it had no chance of escaping this time so it got hit by Psyshock and it fell on the ground with a thud, it had fainted. Brawly "Your Ralts is really troublesome to deal with" Julian just smiled at Brawly, he remembered how Ralts would mess around with Larvitar and Treecko after getting ideas from Gengar, Ralts had naughty nature right now but he knew it wouldn''tst long as she evolves her personality will also evolve with her. Brawly knew he had little chance of winning this battle but he had fun while battling so he still continued. Brawly "Makuhita let''s go" Julian "Ralts, m Mind" Ralts boosted her Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense again. Brawly "Makuhita, Arm Thrust" Makuhita went forward Thrusting its arms one after another. Julian [Ralts stay cautious if you see something off use Teleport] Julian knew he should never underestimate his opponents even if they are at a huge disadvantage and seeing Brawly use Arm Thrust which will have very little effect of Ralts he became suspicious of it. As Julian had instructed Ralts stayed focused and kept using her Psychic energy to examine the surroundings to notice even slight difference that may happen to her or her surroundings. As Makuhita got near her using Arm Thrust, Ralts suddenly noticed the change of energy in Makuhita''s arms, it was dark energy, sensing danger Ralts quickly teleported. Julian was right, this was Brawly''s hidden card which he came up to face opponents using Psychic-type pokemons, he would instruct Makuhita to use Arm Thrust but the real attack that would hit the opponent was Knock Off. Brawly was surprised seeing Ralts escape even before she was hit. Brawly "Man I thought I had it" Julian was impressed by Brawly, even though he saw that something was off he had never expected a dark move hidden behind the facade of Arm Thrust. Julian "Ralts lets finish this, Psyshock" Ralts again used Psyshock and it hit Makuhita with full power, due to Ralts''s Sp. Attack being boosted twice the power behind the Psyshock was also very high. Makuhita fainted on the spot and Ralts won the battle. Brawly sighed and called back Makuhita to its Pokeball and went towards Julian and gave him Knuckle Badge. Julian took it and showed it to Ralts. Julian gave the badge for Ralts to hold as she was staring at it, as soon as she took the hold of the badge she became happy and she liked shiny thing very much. Julian called back Ralts and decided to leave, as he turned around he saw a familiar face entering the gym, it was non-other than Steven Stone. Steven looked at Julian and at Brawly. Brawly "Yo Steven found anything interesting in the cave" Steven "Na, not yet I came here to ask you about that, as you are the most knowledgeable about the cave around here" Julian was about to leave when suddenly Steven stopped him. Steven "Hello, have I seen you somewhere" Julian turned around and looked at Steven. Julian "Probably inside the cave yesterday, I saw you heading deep inside" Steven recalled about yesterday and he remembered seeing someoneing from deep within the caves but he couldn''t recall the person''s face. Julian didn''t wait around and walked away with giving a second thought. Brawly "Do you know that guy?" Steven "No, but I feel like I have seen him somewhere" Brawly "It doesn''t matter but one thing you should take note is that he is very strong, probably as strong as you" Steven didn''t reply and just looked at the door that Julian went through. Chapter 103 - Trouble At Oceanic Museum On the ferry which is heading towards teport City, Julian is speaking with the captain and inquiring some details about their destination. Captain "teport city is the ninthrgest city in Hoenn, the city came to be as the clean water present there made food abundant, the local market started to grow and it soon became a harbor for ships and boats which carry goods, it''s a merchant paradise" ?? Julian "What about the people leaving there?" Captain "The people living there are fine, Ah there is this one person who is very famous in teport city, his name is Captain Stern, he is an undersea explorer who also runs the Stern''s Shipyard" Julian "I see" Their conversationes to an end and Julian gets back to his room and waits for the ferry to reach the city. After traveling for a few days the ferry finally reach teport city, Julian gets off the ferry and feel the ocean breeze on his skin, he looked at the ocean and noticed that the water was clearer than normal seawater, kids were running around the beach ying while adults were rxing on the beach getting their tan on. Julian ''This looks more like a tourist ce than a ship harbor'' Julian was surprised to see that the entrance to the city was by going through the beach, the other entrance is on the north side of the city which will lead to Mauville city. He finally entered the city and saw it was very lively, people were walking around freely with their pokemon, he rode around and saw a huge lighthouse and few tourists were hanging around it taking pictures. He decided to go to the pokemon center and give his pokemons a quick checkup so they can refresh them self from the long tiring trip they had on the ferry. Julian went to the pokemon center and gave his pokemons to Nurse Joy, after giving them to Nurse Joy she started to look around and he found something interesting on the bulletin board. Julian "Pokemon Fan Club, what kind of fan club is this? I should go check it out" After waiting for a while Nurse Joy came back and gave him his pokemon, he then went straight towards the building which addressed the Pokemon Fan Club in that bulletin board, soon he arrived in front of a building which was decorated with pretty decorations and a huge banner which stated Pokemon Fan Club in huge bold letters. Julian didn''t want to judge the book by its cover so he went inside to see people of all ages interacting with each other happily. Julian ''Not bad'' Julian liked the vibe inside this fan club each and everyone was respectful towards each other and discussed pokemons, some showed off their pokemons and talked about their experience growing up with them, what Julian didn''t like about this fan club was that this was only based on cute pokemons, there was nothing wrong about this but Julian liked to talk about different species and their kind so only talking about cute pokemons mad him bored so he decided to leave. While he was leaving he saw two men entering the fan club and overheard their conversation. Man 1 "Hey did you see those people in blue uniform, surrounding the Oceanic Museum" Man 2 "Yes, whenever people try to enter they would stop them, they didn''t look like security at all, it looked quite fishy to me" Man 1 "I had the same thought" Julian listened to them and got curious as well. Julian ''Oceanic Museum, it is on the northeast side of the city and if I am not wrong it should be one of Captain Stern''s estates'' Since there was nothing else for him to do at the Fan Club he decided to give a quick visit to this Museum and see if anything interesting is happening there. Julian hopped onto his bike and elerated towards the northeast side of the city when he reached there he saw exactly what he heard from those two men, he saw a group of people in blue surrounding the Museum, he also notices that they had a pirate type theme going on with their dress. Julian realized who these people where. Julian ''Team Aqua, what are they doing here?'' Julian tried to recall anything he remembers about them but he had no memories about them at all. Julian ''Is the Blue Orb kept here?'' Julian recalled about what he read in the Granite cave and imagined what would happen if these group of idiots set Kyogre free, he didn''t want to ruin his peaceful days and if either Kyogre or Groudon is released his peaceful days will be over so he had to interfere even though he didn''t want to. He went to the side and took out a red long coat and ck mask to hide his face and walked towards the museum. The Team Aqua grunts who were on the watch saw a tall man wearing a red coat and ck mask approaching them, seeing his wearing red they thought that he is a member of team magma so they became alert. Julian stopped right in front of them as he saw ten grunts surrounding him as they holed Pokeball in their hands. Grunt 1 "You Team Magma grunt leave now or you will pay the price interfering with the might Team Aqua" Julian was ticked when he heard them call him a member of Team Magma. Julian "Don''tpare me with the likes of you and those idiots" Grunt 2 "Stop talking, let''s show him what does it mean to challenge Team Aqua" They all sent out their pokemons and they were all Corphish and Poochyena. Julian "Gyarados" Julian sent out Gyarados and as soon as Gyarados came out it stared down on these tiny pokemons which looked like ants and his ability Intimidate kicked it, all Corphish and Poochyena were scared shitlessly and abandoned their trainers and ran away, the same could be said to those Grunts, when they saw this huge 14 meter tall Gyarados they couldn''t help but shiver in fear. Grunt 3 "Haha we were just joking, what is Team Aqua? We are just cosyers, bye bye" They escaped as soon as possible, abandoning their attires and running away for their life. Julian called back Gyarados, his intention was to scare them right away and not waste time battling weaklings so he used Gyarados. He entered the Museum and saw that the first floor was empty, he walked forwards and heard a thud sound behind the receptionist desk, he looked behind and saw a blonddy tied up struggling to break free. When the Blonddy saw Julian she got scared as he was covering his face and looked very suspicious, Julian didn''t mind her terrified gaze as it was a normal reaction from amoner, Julian bent down and untied her. Julian "Run away and don''t try to meddle" The Blonddy was still scared but she realized that this man has saved her, she bowed and ran away, Julian slowly walked inside and noticed two Aqua grunts near the staircase. Julian ''If I battle them it might alert the once in the top, I should silently knock them out'' Julian took a step back and hid behind a wall and blew a soft whistle, one of the Aqua grunts heard it and looked left and right. Grunt 1 "Did you hear anything?" Grunt 2 "Hmm? I didn''t" Grunt 1 "Strange, wait here let me check" The Grunt walked towards Julian and came near the receptionist area, he didn''t notice Julian at all and before he knew it Julian gave a chop to the back of his head and he was knocked out. The other Grunt who heard a thuding from the direction where Grunt 1 went, he became suspicious and tried to run up to warn others but before he could, he felt a sharp pain behind his neck and he fainted as well. Julian caught the falling grunt and ced him to the side and walked up the stairs. When he reached the second floor he heard voices, he closed in and saw a 50-year-old man with brown hair tied on to a chair and in front of him was a huge bulky man wearing blue pants, he had a Crawdaunt to his side and he was interrogating the 50-year-old man. Julian ''If I am not wrong that old man must be Captain Stern and that bulky fellow must be one of the admins of Team Aqua'' Grunt "Boss Matt we should get going, or the police might arrive soon" Matt "Hmph, looks like I have to force it from you, Captain Stern, give me the Infinity Generator or we will have to hurt you" Stern "Ha, I would never give it to you" Matt "Than it can''t be helped, Crawdaunt" The Crawdaunt beside him was about to take action when they heard a voiceing from behind. Julian "Hold your horsea, Gentlemen" Team Aqua Grunts and Matt turned around to see a tall man in a red coat and mask smiling at them. Matt "Are you from Team Magma" Again it got to his nerves. Julian "Does anyone wearing red means he is from Team Magma?" Matt "It doesn''t" Julian "Then that''s clear, now let''s get to the real business, leave that man alone and leave or else I would have to force you" Mattughed hearing Julian followed up by the rest of the grunts. Matt "You are a funny man aren''t ya, how can just you force every one of us out of here" Julian "Wow, that''s the only logical question you asked me, well them for your answer" Julian took out a Pokeball and showed it towards Matt. Matt looked at Julian and became curious. Matt ''What kind of ace is he holding to be so confident about challenging all of us or he is just stupidly overconfident'' Matt "HAHAHAHA, you are a brave one but also foolish. Everyone, show him the power of Team Aqua" Every Grunt including Matt present on the floor sent out their pokemons, Corphish, Crawdaunt, Poochyena, Mightyena. There were at least 15 pokemons facing against Julian. Julian "Well that''s Interesting, let me show you how I will force you out, GO" Julian sent the Pokeball he was holding up in the air and next Heatran came out of the Pokeball and looked at 15 pokemons in front of him. Matt "What kind of pokemon is that? Julian "A special kind" Matt "Well it doesn''t matter, everyone attack" All the Aqua member called out an attack and sent it shooting towards Heatran. Julian "Magma Storm" Heatran created a huge raging tornado formed from hot magma which went crashing towards the Team Aqua grunts and their pokemons, all their attacks were crushed by Magma Storm and sent them flying across the room and crashing into the wall. Matt and the conscious members of Team Aqua were shocked and couldn''t believe what just happened. Julian "So Gentlemen are you sure you don''t want to leave?" Matt looked at Julian and stayed silent. Matt "let''s go" Matt walked away as it was the best decision he could take right now, the grunts called back their pokemons and followed behind. Julian walked towards the tied up Captain Stern and untied him. Stern "Thank you mister for saving me" Julian "Don''t mention it, I only did this for myself" Julian "Then I will be leaving" Julian called back Heatran and walked away, as soon as Julian left the police came and saw that the whole second floor was in a mess and Captain Stern was standing there still. Officer Jenny "Mr. Stern are you all right?" Stern "Thanks to a stranger I am fine, but I hope you tighten the security around the Museum for a few days until our project is over" Officer Jenny "I will look into it" Stern ''Who could that young man be?''. Chapter 104 - The Real Hoenn. Behind the Museum, Julian is taking off his red coat and mask and looked at the police arriving here. Julian ''I hope I won''t have to take actions again'' ?? Putting the coat in his dimensional pouch he headed towards a hotel as he wanted to rest, he looked around and found a hotel which provided all that he could have asked so he rented a room and walked in, removing his clothes he took his bath and freshened up and took a seat in front of theputer and started to search for stuff online. After searching for a while he suddenly got an alert message at the bottom right of the screen, it said ''Professor Oak want''s to chat with you''. Julian ''Professor? what could it be?'' Julian clicked the message and it directly took him to the video chat application. Julian "Professor" Oak "Julian, I was trying to contact you but you couldn''t be reached at all" Julian "What happened?" Oak "Our research team and Professor Sycamore found something fascinating recently" Julian "Professor Sycamore? Is it about the mega stones?" Oak "Indeed, our research team noticed something weird going in Hoenn, the League is trying to track down a criminal faction called Shadows and they raided one of their bases and found more than ten different types of mega stones there, the league asked us to look into this and we sent a group of research team to Hoenn" Julian "Shadows" Julian remembered this them, the leader once tried to assassinate him but he hadpletely forgotten about them but now he recalled about them after hearing Professor Oak. Oak "Yes, they are a very secretive crime syndicate and is giving a tough time to the league and the war going on between Team Aqua and Magma is also providing them extra coverage to hide them self" Julian nodded as he understood what is happening right now, the league is not able to concentrate on one particr group as Team Magma and Aqua are causing trouble everywhere and the Shadow Syndicate which is hiding in the dark is taking full advantage of this. Oak "Well, that''s not the important thing I wanted to tell you" Julian "Then what is it?" Oak "The league interrogated the captured members of the Shadows and found out that they did up those Mega Stones in Hoenn itself, at first everyone thought that Mega Stones originated from Kalos but we were wrong this whole time" Julian "What do you mean?" Oak "That''s what our research team found out, 3000 years ago a huge meteorite crashed on Hoenn and that Meteorite was also responsible for bringing the Mega Stones to our world" Julian "So you are telling that Mega Stone originated from Hoenn?" Julian was shocked, he didn''t expect things to get turned to this extreme means, he felt like the world he saw and the one he is leaving ispletely different. Oak "Yes, Do you know about the Sundial present in Anistar city in Kalos region?" Julian nodded. Oak "Professor Sycamore was also involved in this research and he believed that the urrence of the Mega Stones in Kalos was rted to the Sundial so he researched about it day and night and sent up the readings of the radiations radiated by the Sundial, The research team in Hoenn took the readings and found the same type of readings but more powerful than the Sundial" Julian "Where is this ce" Oak "It''sing from Sootopolis city, the city was actually created from the same meteorite that crashed on Hoenn 3000 years ago, and the Sundial is a piece of this Meteorite that separated from the main body andnded on Kalos" Julian "Were you able to confirm it?" Oak "That''s the problem, no one is allowed to enter the Cave of Origin, the current champion of Hoenn Wace is the guardian of the cave of origin and he denied even the league to go in, he stated that his family has been the guardian of the Cave of Origin for 1000''s of years and he won''t allow anyone to enter unless there was a tragedy befalling" Julian "So the Meteorite is still present in Hoenn under Sootopolis city?" Oak "Yes, the radiationsing from underground is massive" Julian pondered about this for a while and didn''t know what to say, he felt like everything was way off from what he had expected. Julian "Professor give me some time and I will call you back" Oak "Ok, Wait! onest this, due to the recent discovery, the news about Mega Evolutions will be soon released and the general public will soone to know about it as well" Julian nodded and switched off theputer. Julian ''I don''t remember anything like this happening in the anime'' Julian thought about everything Professor Oak said and he realized something. Julian "The world is very different from what its portrayed like, I saw this world from a screen but now that I live in it, it''s so vast, so different, so interesting". Chapter 105 - Meeting With Daisy Julian sat on the chairpletely silent and realized that the story is not going as they had portrayed in the anime. Julian "Me being here has changed the worldpletely, even though I didn''t interfere with the storyline much they changes are still very great, Professor Oak said Mega evolution may get published soon so I can care less about reveling it at time of crises" ?? After getting his thoughts clear, he decided to call the day off. Next day early in the morning he is sleeping on the bed and he hears his phone ringing, hearing his phone ring he wakes up. Julian "Who could it be calling so early in the morning" Julian picked the phone. Julian "Hello?" As Julian answered he heard ady''s voice from the other side. "Are you Julian?" Julian "Yes, I am but who are you?" Daisy "Don''t you recognized my voice?" Julian heard the voice and felt that he had heard this voice before, then he suddenly realizes. Julian "Daisy?" Daisy "Looks like you have not forgotten about me" Julian "Haha, how could I forget you" Daisy "I got your number from grandpa, when I heard that you are in Hoenn I was so happy" Julian "Really?" Daisy "Of course, By the way, which city are you in right now?" Julian "Me? I am in teport city" Daisy "Really? I am also in teport city so can we meet right now?" Julian "Yes, how about we meet at a restaurant, I will forward you the address" He had not met Daisy for quite a while so he is excited to meet her, he liked hanging out with Daisy and he had also felt natural attraction towards her so he always flirted with her. Soon he got ready and went towards the restaurant he had just sent the address to Daisy, he arrived there early and asked a table for two and sat there waiting. As he was waiting he heard the jingles of the bell in front of the door, he looked towards the door as saw a beautiful woman with brown hair and wearing a yellow mini dress, she saw Julian and ran towards him and kissed him on the cheek. Julian was stunned then smiled at Daisy, Daisy blushed as she realized that she did something unexpected Julian "It''s been so long since I saw you" Julian took her hand and escorted her towards the table, he pulled her chair and gestured her to sit. Daisy "So how do you like Hoenn" Julian "It''s really a beautiful region, I am enjoying my time here" Daisy "Isn''t it, I was also very excited when I first came here, the food, the culture, the lifestyle is so different here" Julian ''Is it? I thought everything was the same or is it just me'' Even though Julian had such thoughts in his mind he didn''t spill it out as he was enjoying the sight of this beautiful woman talking in front of him. Daisy "So Julian why are you here at teport city?" Julian "I was just passing by, my next destination is Mauville city. What about you?" Daisy "There is a contest being held here tomorrow and I came here to check it out, I thought it might inspire me toe up with new things as a Groomer" Julian "I see, best of luck" Daisy felt a little disappointed by hearing Julian just wished her luck, she was clearly showing off her feeling, Julian, of course, noticed this so he decided to y hard to get. Daisy knew what Julian was trying to do but she doesn''t want to give up but then again she realized something. Daisy "Julian, by the way, do you have a Girlfriend?" Julian "Girlfriend?" Hearing this question Julian felt silent, he remembered Chloe, even though he had spent so little time with her, he felt very attached to her as well, he would always remember her but he didn''t know where she was or how she is doing, after waiting for so long he decided to just forget it as think of it as just like those ''one night stands'' he had with other women but somehow he couldn''t. Chloe had already made a ce in his heart and he always wonders how. Seeing his expression Daisy regret asking this question. Julian "I don''t have a Girlfriend" Daisy suddenly felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from her chest but it still was not over, she could clearly see Julian was very uneasy talking about this. Daisy "Then why are -" Julian interrupted her as he knew what is she going to ask. Julian "I do like a girl but I don''t know where she is and how she is doing, I would like to meet her once and ask her a question" Daisy didn''t know what to say after hearing this, She finally decided to confront him. Daisy "Julian, how do you feel about me? Be honest" Julian was startled but he looked into Daisy''s eyes and knew he cannot lie to this woman. Julian "To tell you the truth, I do like you but-" Daisy "Wait! Before you continue I was to ask, can I have a ce in your heart even if you loved someone else?" Julian looked at Daisy, he looked in her eyes which were about to tear up, he could clearly see she liked him very much. Julian just nodded to her, seeing him nod Daisy somehow stopped her tears, she smiled and looked at Julian. Daisy "Ok, enough of this, I decided I will apany you in your journey" Julian "What?" Daisy "I said I will be joining you on your journey" Julian was speechless, he didn''t know how to respond to this. Before he could say anything Daisy got up from her seat and dragged Julian out. Julian "Where are we going?" Daisy "Sightseeing, of course, tomorrow I have to go to the contest and you areing with me and we will leave towards Mauville city day after tomorrow so I only have today left to look around this beautiful city" Julian "Can''t you go alone and you have been in Hoenn of more than twelve months, have you not traveled around" Daisy "No I can''t, and I have been studying in the groomer school for these past 12 months so I have not to see the whole Hoenn" Julian didn''t know what to say so he just apanied her. Daisy ''Julian, I don''t know who this woman is who has left her mark in your heart but I won''t give up, I will try my best to have an equal ce in your heart as this woman'' Why Daisy was ok to share Julian was because this world didn''t have any rule restricting multiple marriages, a man could have several wives but it depended on the person''s preference, Daisy didn''t mind sharing Julian with an another woman, she knew a man like Julian could have any woman but she wanted to make a strong ce in his heart so she took action as soon as possible. Chapter 106 - Contest On his way towards the contest with Daisy, he noticed that the city was filled with many people with different type of costumes, their pokemons were styled and groomed to look their best. Julian "Looks like I had underestimated contests" ?? Daisy "Contests are huge, unlike your gym battles, contest are made public and whenever a contest is held in a city the city be lively, during contest many people benefit from it, designers, groomers, breeders, people would want to follow thetest trend and they go to these people to make their pokemon look like the once showcased in contest" Julian "That''s why these people and pokemons are dressed like this" Daisy "Ok let''s go quickly or we won''t get any seats" Julian "Don''t worry about it, I have booked VIP room for us" Daisy "You are awesome" Daisy was very happy after hearing this and bolted towards the contest arena, Julian shook his head seeing this. Julian ''She acts like a child when there is something of her interest, unlike her cool and collected side'' He followed her and after walking for some time they finally reached the arena. Julian "You know we could have just ridden here in my bike" Daisy "I like walking more." she said and smiled Julian nodded and took her to the room he had booked when they entered they saw the room was decorated nicely and there was a single long sofa facing a ss. Julian and Daisy sat down on the sofa and waited for the contest to start, there waiting was over as the contest started, the host of this contest hyped the audience and started to introduce the judges. Host "Ok now calm down everyone, its time to introduce the judges, our first judge our city''s own Nurse Joy" Nurse Joy enters and sits on her chair and waves at the camera. Host "Our next Judge is Mr. Sukizo the President of the Pokemon fan club" A short man with a closed eye and he smile stuck on his facees and takes his seat, his face screams ''Happy Man''. Host "Our final host is a very special guest, all of you may know him a the Champion, please wee Wace" Wace the Hoenn Champion walks towards his chair and takes his seat waving at the camera. Julian is surprised to see Wace here, he didn''t expect this at all. Daisy "You know Wace is also a Top Coordinator and he sometimes makes a sudden appearance like this as a Judge to surprise the fans and the Coordinators" Julian just nodded, he didn''t know what it takes to be a Coordinator but he was still impressed by Wace as he handled both being a Champion and a Top Coordinator. The contest went on, the first half Julian saw it but the second half he got bored, he realized that Contest was not his thing, he looked at Daisy and saw her fully concentrated on the Contest, she had a book in her hand and was taking notes of anything she thinks is interesting, Julian was getting bored so he brought out his three little pokemons so that they could see what a contest is like, Treecko, Larvitar, and Ralts saw the contest going on and were really surprised to see pokemons perform beautiful moves, Ralts looked at the going contest but soon turned around and hopped onto Julianp and nudged him. Julian understood what she wanted to sleep on hisp, he smiled and padded her so that she could go to sleep, Treecko and Larvitar also got bored and started running around trying to catch each other, seeing them act like this Julian called out Infernape and told him to keep an eye on them so they don''t get in trouble. Daisy noticed that the room suddenly got crowded and looked around to see four pokemons in the room. Daisy "Are they yours?" Julian nodded. Daisy "Oh look at Ralts she is so cute" Daisy picked up Ralts from Julianp, Ralts struggled first but calmed down as Daisy knew how to calm down pokemons, Ralts soon familiarize her self with Daisy and started to look at her notebook with interest. Daisy "You like these? Ah, I think this will suit you" Daisy took out a ribbon and tied it around Ralts neck in a butterfly pattern, Ralts liked this and showed it to Julian, Julian smiled and nodded at her. Daisy "Your Ralts is really attached to you" Julian "She sure is" Daisy looked around and saw Treecko and Larvitar wrestling trying to get an upper hand over the other but they were under Infernape''s watch so that they won''t get hurt. Daisy "Treecko and Larvitar they look very healthy" Daisy examined them and was very impressed, she knew that Julian takes very good care of his pokemons so she had expected this. Daisy "Infernape how are you doing?" Infernape greeted her happily. Julian "The contest ising to end aren''t you going to watch?" Daisy "I just came to see how the pokemons are presented and I saw every one of them" Julian "Did you find what you were looking for?" Daisy "Yes I found some interesting concepts" Julian "Then let''s go" Daisy thought for a second and decided to leave, Julian called back his pokemons and walked out with Daisy. As they came outside the Arena Daisy saw a small shop which was selling some shiny essories. Daisy "Julian, let''s go there" She dragged him to the shop and started to look around the shop, soon she found a neckless to her liking, Julian didn''t think much and bought it for her, he gave the money to the olddy who was the shopkeeper. Old Lady "Young man you gave me more than the price rate and I don''t have enough money right now to give you back" Julian "Don''t worry about it Grandma you can keep the rest" Old Lady "You are really kind but I cannot take it" Old Lady thought about it and suddenly she remembered something. Old Lady "How about I give you this" The Old Lady took out a shiny multicolored scale which was very eye-catching, Julian looked at this scale and realized what it is. Julian "Are you sure I can have it, it can be sold for an extremely high price" Old Lady "You can take it, I don''t have any use for it and my old bones are weak now, I cannot go outside to sell this thing" Julian took the scale and kept it in his pouch. Julian "Thank you" Julian walked out with Daisy and went straight towards their hotel room. Daisy "Julian what is that Scale?" Julian "It''s a Prism Scale, they are extremely rare and that why they are very costly" Daisy "I see, lets head back we should be leaving tomorrow morning right?" Julian nodded and walked back with Daisy to his room. Chapter 107 - Julians Heart Julian woke up as his phone started to ring, he looked at the screen and saw Daisy''s name on it, even though Daisy had decided to join him she didn''t change her hotel room just for a day, they decided to meet up at her ce before they leave. He picked up the phone and answered her call ?? Julian "Yes?" Daisy "Hurry up, don''t we have to leave?" Julian looked at the top right corner of his phone and saw it was already 9 AM. Julian "Ok, I will be there in ten minutes" Daisy "Ok" He put his phone down and took a quick bath and got ready to leave, he quickly rode his bike and went to Daisy''s hotel room, he knocked at her door and soon the door opened, he saw Daisy wearing a ck t-shirt and blue jeans with her hair tied up like a ponytail. Julian ''No matter what she wears she looks beautiful'' Julian smiled and walked in. Julian "You look beautiful" Daisy "Thank you, so are we ready?" Julian "If you are" Daisy "Then let''s go" Daisy holds onto Julian''s hand and they walked out of there room and went to the parking lot where Julian had parked his bike. Daisy "I kinda feel excited riding on a bike" Julian smiles and starts the bike. Julian "Hop on" Daisy sits behind him and holds him tightly as her breast is squeezed on his back. Julian "You know you don''t have to hold on that tight" Daisy realizes and loosens her grip over his waist. Julian "Ready?" Daisy nods her head and so Julian rides of leaving teport city, their next destination is Mauville city where Julian want to challenge the next gym. Soon they reach the north side of teport city, after passing through the gave they are greeted by a thick forest and a road going between separating the forest. Julian "We have to camp in the forest tonight, are you ok with that?" Daisy was taken by surprise for a second, she had never camped inside a forest, she had always traveled in travel buses or ferries so camping was a new thing to her, but she had already anticipated the possibility of camping in the forest but is she ready for it, she didn''t know. She just nods her head, Julian noticed that she was uncertain about it, but he had no choice there is no town in between these two cities and the forest is also veryrge. Julian "Don''t worry about it, I am with you" Daisy feels happy and holds on to Julian tightly as Julian elerates the rides of fast into the road leading inside the forest. They take brakes in between so that Daisy doesn''t feel ufortable by just sitting on a bike for a long period, Julian sets up a small table for him and Daisy near ake and releases his pokemons so that they could do whatever they wished. They both sit and looks at the pokemons doing their stuff. Julian "How do your legs feel?" Daisy "Not gonna lie, they are a little sore right now" Julian then starts to massage her thighs to relief it, Daisy gets startled and suddenly blushes. Daisy "What are you doing?" Julian "You said that your legs were sore so I am massaging so that they get better, do you want me to stop?" Daisy "No" Julian smiles and continues to massage her thighs. Daisy, on the other hand, is red but she is also feeling hot, she could feel Julian''s big hand on her thing, she cannot help but imagine him doing weird things to her. Daisy ''Daisy, what do you think you are doing, stop imagining stuff like that'' Even though Daisy was trying hard she couldn''t stop her mind from imagining doing weird things with Julian, Julian didn''t notice her face as he was fully concentrated on massaging her. Julian ''She must not be used to sitting on bikes, her thighs are pretty sore, look at her acting all tough, I think I should buy a car so that this never happens'' He was worried about her that he even thought about buying a car. Julian ''But what about my bike? Ha I can just keep it in the dimensional pouch'' If Daisy knew what Julian was thinking she would burst intoughter but will also make her heart flutter as he wanted to do this for her. They once again continue on their journey as they ride off once again, soon the sky became orange as the sun was going to set, Julian decided to call it a day and started to look for a ce to camp tonight. Soon he found a nice ce so he stopped his bike. Julian "lets camp here" Daisy nodded and got off the bike and stretched her back, Julian could see her well-defined curves. Julian ''What did I do to deserve to have such a beautiful girl by my side'' Daisy "Did you enjoy the view?" Daisy turned around and smiled mischievously. Julian "They are really beautiful" Daisy smiles and walks around the ce to check if everything is alright, Julian also does the same and finally sets up a camp. Julian "It''s good that I have two tents" Daisy nods but there is a slight disappointment in her eyes but even she doesn''t realize it, as Julian was setting up his tent Daisy also joins him. Daisy "Teach me how to do it" Julian "Come here" He starts to teach her how to set up a tend and while doing that he also takes advantage of the situation as he touches her hips, hugs her from behind, hold her hands, ys with her hair, the whole tent set up event goes as they flirt with each other, Daisy also goes along with it as she enjoys his touch, she feels safe with him, the more she is with him the more she starts to like him. The nightes and Julian starts to prepare food for everyone, Daisy helps him by taking care of his pokemons, she grooms them and his pokemons are also very happy to have her around After having their dinner Julian sends his pokemons back to their Pokeball. Julian "We should sleep now, good night" He says and enters his tent and changes into his sleeping outfit, Daisy looks at his tent for a second then walks into her tent and get into her sleeping outfit andy down on the mattress, she closes her eyes but she is not able to sleep, she is having weird thought about her and Julian making love all the time, she feels hot and doesn''t know what to do, she finally decided to visit Julian''s tent. Julian closed his eyes and tried to sleep, he could go on without sleeping for days but he preferred it as it helps him to refresh his mind, as he was just about to fall asleep he sees Daisy''s shadow from his tent and next Daisy enters his tent by unzipping it, she is wearing a transparent silk gown and Julian could easily see her underwears, her body was perfect. Daisy "Can I sleep here" Julian nods and makes space for her, Daisy joins him andys beside him and looks at him, Julian also looks into her eyes and close in and gives her a passionate kiss as his hands crease her beautiful face, the kissst for minutes as they separate. Daisy breaths heavily and looks at Julian with a loving gaze. Daisy "Julian, take me" Julian closes in and hugs her and gets close to her ears. Julian "Daisy you are special and I want our first to be special as well, not in the middle of the forest" Daisy was surprised but also very happy. Julian hugs her tightly as Daisy does the same and falls asleep in his embrace. Julian looks at her and kisses her forehead. Julian ''Daisy is very special to me and I won''t let her go'' Julian then thinks of someone else and his heart starts to feel suffocated. Julian ''My heart, why does it has a feeling for two women at the same time is it me or is it because of the life I wanted to live causing this to happen, Chloe where are you?'' Julian is now having mix emotions, right in front of him is a woman who loves him dearly and his feeling for her is genuine as well but the feeling he has for Chloe is also very strong. Julian ''I hope she is doing fine... I hope she remembers me'' Julian closes his eyes and falls asleep. Chapter 108 - My Prism Scale! Julian woke up to find himself alone on his mattress, he looked around and saw that Daisy has already woken up. Julian ''Where is she?" ?? Julian wore his usual clothes and walked out to find Daisy cooking breakfast. Julian "You should have asked me to do it" Daisy turned around and saw Julian walking towards her, she smiled and turned back to cooking. Daisy "I felt like making something so don''t worry about it, you should wash up first" Julian nodded and washed his face and went back to her. Julian "We will be at Mauville city by today evening" Daisy "That''s great" They both finished their breakfast, fed the pokemons and continued their journey, after riding for a few hours they came to a stop near a river which was flowing from Mauville city. Julian "This river flows directly through Mauville city and joins the sea of teport ocean" Daisy "I know that, why did you even tell me that" Julian "Just some random fact" Julian smiled and started to set the table as they wanted to have their lunch. Julian "Let me clean the tes" Julian walked towards the river bed and squatted down, he took out a washing sponge but he didn''t notice that the prism scale he got from the olddy saw stuck in it. He noticed the Prism scale as it reflected the sunlight of it but it was toote, the Prism scale slipped off the sponge, Julian quickly moved his hand to catch it but he didn''t expect something else was looking at the falling Prism scale, it blotted out from the water and snatched the scale even before Julian could catch it. Julian who was about to get the hold on the falling Prism scale suddenly saw a shadow rushing towards him from underwater, he got startled and it slowed down his movement and a fish type pokemonsunched itself out of the water and snatched his Prism scale right in front of him. Julian "My Prism scale, My Prism scale was snatched right in front of me by a Feebas" Julian quickly got up and looked at the direction which the Feebas bolted, he suddenly saw a bright light escaping from the surface of the water. Julian "It''s evolving?" The Feebas started to grow big and suddenly transformed into a beautiful water serpent, it evolved into Milotic. Milotic looked at itself happily and tried to leave as soon as possible. Julian "Do you think you can escape after stealing from me. Infernape, Kabutops, Venusaure out" Milotic which was trying to escape suddenly felt a huge pressure and turned around to see two scary pokemons bolting towards her with extreme speed one on thend and another in the water. Julian "Venusaur, Earthquake" Venusaur mmed the ground and sent tremor all over the ce, the river water got distorted and Milotic who was trying to escape suddenly felt the water pushing her up out of the water, the tremor from that earthquake caused the tides to change and cause a small Tsunami in the river, Milotic was suddenly in the air and before she could notice, Kabutops closed in and used X-Scissor on her which sent her flying towards Infernape, Infernape caught Milotic and looked at her and she had already fainted. Julian walked towards Infernape and saw him holding Milotic. Julian ''I thought of selling that Prism scale but now I cannot do that, but'' He looked at the fainted Milotic and threw a Pokeball towards her and caught her sessfully. Julian called back his pokemons and walked back to the camp and saw Daisy ring at him angrily, the table and food ced on it werepletely flipped upside down and Daisy had a tended on her head. Julian looked at the scene and couldn''t help butugh, but that was his biggest mistake, Daisy became furious and made him clean up everything even after he exined what happened. After once again preparing their lunch and eating Julian called out his newly caught Milotic. Daisy "Wow she is so beautiful" Julian nodded and walked forwards towards Milotic and pat her head with his hand. Julian "From now we are family" Milotic was a little worried but when Julian touched her she became calm again. Julian "Let''s meet your family" Julian called out all his pokemon and they all greeted her, she was nervous in front of them as they were all very strong, she became close with the younger member of Julian''s pokemon, Treecko, Larvitar, and Ralts would always stick together but now they have a newpanion with them. Julian ''System, disy Milotic stats'' System ''Affirmative'' __________________ Milotic Type - Water Level - 16 Age - 17 months Bond - 50% HP - 100 Attack - 70 Defense - 80 Sp. Atk - 110 Sp.

Ability - Marvel Scale (Unlocked), Competitive (Locked). ___________________ Julian ''She is already level 16 and has good Sp. Defense and Sp. Attacks, but her move pool is limited, I should train her and make her learn new moves''. Milotic familiarizes with Julian''s pokemons hanging out with them for a while, Milotic has not yet met Gyarados as the river is to small for him. Daisy bes very interested in Milotic as she starts to imaging Milotic being groomed in all kind of fashion. Julian gives his pokemons some food and then continue his journey towards Mauville city with Daisy, after riding for a very long time they finally arrive in Mauville city, the city is very grand and people could be seen riding bicycles everywhere. Daisy "Mauville city has a special root which leads to teport city and only people riding bicycles are allowed to use it" Julian was surprised, even though he researched some stuff about Mauville city he didn''t know much, have Daisy with him help him understand the culture in the city they where present. Julian "It''s already evening, let''s go rent a hotel room, we can go site seeing tomorrow" Daisy "Ok" She grabs onto Julian''s hand and drags him towards a hotel nearby. Chapter 109 - Gym Leader Wattson Waking up early in the morning Julian saw Daisy sleeping next to him peacefully, he got up from the bed and got ready to head out, before that he wanted to do some research so he turned the PC in the room and searched for Wattson the gym leader of Mauville gym, what he saw next made him shocked, Wattson was actually the founder of Mauville city, he wanted to convert Mauville into an expansion project but abandoned the n, instead he built the city gym and installed switch control dynamos which created doors made of electricity. He was also the project leader of Sea Mauville project under Greater Mauville Holdings. ?? Julian ''Looks like the leader of the Gym is really wealthy, Let''s look about his pokemons'' He searched for some time and received all the important information about Wattson. Julian ''An electric type trainer, he has Maon, Voltorb, Mareep, and Manectric. It also says that his win ratio is 20:80, most of the trainers have lost against him, I wonder what''s his ace'' He switched off theputer and left silently as he didn''t want to wake Daisy so he snuck out silently. He was on his way towards Mauville gym, his pokemons were ready to battle so he didn''t want to waste time and he also wanted to spend the day with Daisy so he decided to finish this before he gets busy with other things. When he reached the gym he saw a huge golden building, there was a big round circle in the middle surrounded byrge lightning strikes and all these were golden in color. Julian ''This is really a grand gym, A rich man can get whatever he wants'' Julian was impressed by the structure on the gym, he had never seen a grand gym like this before, he walked in and saw an old man wearing a butler outfit cleaning the statue of Zapdos. He looked at the statue of Zapdos and was amazed, it was actually made of pure gold unlike the exterior of the gym. The Butler looked at Julian and weed him. Butler "Young man you must be a challenger" Julian nodded as he saw the old man walking towards him. The Butler looked at the Zapdos statue and smiled. Butler "Quite an impressive piece of work isn''t it, Old master hired the best Jeweler and Sculpture in Hoenn to make this statue, Old Master really was in love with Zapdos as he once saw it in his childhood and from that day he wanted to be the best electric type trainer in the world" Julian nodded and appreciated Wattson for sticking to his resolve as most people would abandon it when they face defeat. Butler "Looks like you don''t talk much, well anyway once you walk through that door you will have to solve a puzzle to unlock the electric door blocking the path towards the battlefield" Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t know this thing even existed. Seeing Julian surprised the Butler exined. Butler "Even though Old Master is an entric but Kind man he also likes to show off, his Switch-Controlled Dynamos is the best when ites to security so he likes to show it off to everyone who walks into his gym" Julian nods and walks through the door. Julian ''I don''t remember anything like this existing in anime, well the world had already changed through my existence so I should not be surprised at all I guess'' He walked in and saw red and blue color electricity flowing in front of him, he looked at the side and found a panel on the wall, he walked forwards and suddenly a camera came out of the wall and clicked his photo then the panel opened up revealing a game like an interface. Julian ''Its actually a game'' Well, it was like a puzzle where he had to connect the lines so that Point A and Point B can have a current flow with no restriction. He soon got into it and solved the puzzle after a few seconds. Julian ''That was easy'' As soon as he solved the puzzle, the electricyer blocking his path disappeared and revealed a corridor going deeper, Julian continued to walk and after few minutes again found himself in front of an electric door, there were a panel and the same puzzle game but this time it was moreplicated. This time Julian took his time andpleted it in one and half a minute, after solving it the electric door disappeared again, he continued to walk and again found himself in front of an electric door and the same puzzle game but moreplicated. Julian took his time again and this time it took him three minutes, the gate disappeared and he continued to walk, he just hoped that he won''t have to solve another puzzle, luckily his wish came true and he saw a battlefield in front of him, he was relieved not to see any electric doors in front of him. He was actually really impressed by this technology, the output of the electricity was very high, if anyone tried to tough it, they would get zapped very hard but it still won''t harm them as the electricity would just leave their body and get back to where it came from leaving the one trying to enter with force unconscious. He walked in and found a huge tform in front of him and on top of it was a fat old man wearing a yellow jumpsuit with a brown shirt on top of it, he had white hair and beard and a big smile stuck on his face. He is Wattson the gym leader of Mauville gym. Wattson "Young man you are really smart to clear the puzzle so quickly, you broke the previous record by a mile away, but that''s not important, tell me did you like my awesome invention?" Julian "It is indeed a really good security system and it won''t have any side effect on the unlucky one to experience it as well" Wattson "Hahahaha, of course, it''s a revolutionary invention" Wattson "Ok now that you have alreadypleted the trail you should be ready for the battle, show me your best" Wattson walked towards the battlefield and took his ce, a referee walked in to get the battle going. Referee "Both challenger and gym leader will use three pokemons each and only the trainer is allowed to substitute pokemon during the battle, the first to run out of three pokemon loses" Julian nodded as this was an all-around rule in a gym battle, sometimes the gym leader would change the rule if they want to. Wattson "Ok let''s begin, Go Voltorb". Chapter 110 - A Really Annoying Move. Wattson "Voltorb let''s see how good our opponent it" Julian looked at the pokemon in front of him, due to its body shape it would have a hard time moving around properly but Julian didn''t want to underestimate anything, he knew everything has a weakness but also has great strength in them as well. ?? Julian "Treecko lets go" Treecko came out and looked at his opponent, seeing it is a Voltorb he became confident, Julian, of course, noticed this change in Treecko but he didn''t say anything as he wanted Treecko to experience something for himself. Wattson "Voltorb use Thundershock" Voltorb''s body suddenly got covered with electricity andunched a fast Lightning strike towards Treecko. Julian "Treecko jump" Treecko used his tail in nick of time and jumped up escaping the Thundershock. Julian "Treecko maintain some distance" Treecko thought of attacking but hearing Julian ordering him to keep some distance he did so, he didn''t know what was it for but he trusted Julian. Julian "Bullet Seed" Treecko took the air and shoot numerous Bullet Seeds towards Voltorb. Wattson saw this and smiled widely. Wattson "Voltorb now Teleport" Voltorb suddenly disappeared from its spot and appeared behind Treecko, Julian was surprised by this but he didn''t let down his cool. Julian "Treecko turn around and use Pound" Treecko spun quickly and swing his tail with full power at Voltorb. Wattson "Volt Switch" Voltorb suddenly glowed and sent out a disk made of electricity which hit Treecko and Voltorb suddenly went back to its Pokeball and Maon came out next. Julian was surprised seeing this new development, he never thought that Wattson''s pokemon could use Volt Switch since a pokemon goes back to its Pokeball and send out its ally next to battle after using Volt Switch it has nothing to do with the gym leader, so Wattson has not broken a rule. Julian frowned as he saw Treecko falling on the ground and he was suffering from paralysis, yes Treecko was Paralyzed. Wattson "Maon use Ma Bomb" Maon sent out a Blue color shiny ball of energy towards Treecko as it started to attract Treecko and it hit him directly causing Treecko to be sent rolling on the ground. Julian was not expecting Wattson to be this strong and with the move set he has Treecko is in really big trouble. Treecko was hurt but he struggled a little and got up on his feet. Julian "This is why you should never underestimate your opponent, got it?" Treecko heard Julian and looked at him, Treecko understood that he had underestimated his opponent causing him to lose his rhythm. Treecko nodded and seeing this Julian smiled. Julian "Great now let''s get serious" Treecko nodded and he suddenly started to Glow, his height grew, he grew out de-like leaves on his hands and a longleaf on his head, his tail also changed into two long leaves, he was standing 1.2 meters tall. (A/N - 0.9m is the average height of Grovyle) Julian ''It was time that he evolved'' Treecko evolved into Grovyle, he had a blue and red color scheme on his body, the leaves were all red in color. Wattson "Hohoho, your Treecko evolved into a fine Grovyle" Julian ''System Grovyle Stats'' System ''Affirmative'' ______________________ Grovyle Type - Grass level - 16 Age - 9 months Bond - 78% HP - 65 Attack - 90 Defense - 70 Sp. Atk - 110 Sp. Def - 80 Speed - 108 Move set - Leer, Pound, Mega Drain, Bullet Seed, Quick Attack, Agility, Leaf de, Protect. Ability-Overgrow (Unlocked), Unburdened (Unlocked). __________________ Julian ''He learned Agility, Leaf de, and Protect, not bad. His stats are also really good'' Julian "Grovyle lets show them what you are made of" Grovyle "Vyyylllleeeeeee" Grovyle nodded and was ready to show his new power. Julian "Agility" Grovyle''s body shined as his speed increased drastically. Wattson "This is getting fun, Maon use Ma Bomb" Julian "Agility again and chase down Maon" Grovyle charged at full speed and activated Agility which increased his speed more, Grovyle soon came in contact with Maon and got a hold of him, the Ma Bomb which was sent by Maon was now trying to pull Grovyle towards it but Grovyle turned Maon towards the Bombs direction and atst moment pushed Maon towards it while making his escape in the nick of time, Maon was sent flying back towards Wattson. Wattson "Hoho, I didn''t see thating" Julian "Agility, then use Leaf de" Grovyle once again used Agility and charged forwards the red leaves on his hand started to glow red and suddenly it transformed into a red long de, Grovyle was fast and was about to make contact with Maon. Wattson "Volt Switch" Grovyle couldn''t escape in nick of time and the electric disk hit him and sent him sliding back, he was hurt but this time he didn''t get paralyzed. Julian ''What an annoying move'' Maon returned back to its Pokeball and this time Manectric came out, Grovyle got himself straight and looked at his new opponent. Julian "Agility" Grovyle''s body shone again and his speed rose again Julian "Leaf de" Grovyle''s speed this time was off the charts as he bolted towards Manectric with his glowing red crescent des on his hands. Wattson "Volt Switch" Manectric sent out an electric disk of its own but this time Julian didn''t fall for it. Julian "Dodge then use Agility" Due to Grovyle''s extreme speed and the quick reaction he dodged the Electric Disk and used Agility again as his speed rose again. As soon as Manectric went back and Voltorb came out Julian took action. Julian "Leaf de" Wattson "Vol-" Before he could evenplete hismand, he saw Grovyle going right through Voltorb with his red crescent de, next Voltorb suddenly exploded and when the smoke cleared he saw his Voltorb has been knocked out. Referee "Voltorb is unable to battle, Grovyle wins" Wattson was surprised by the power behind that Leaf de, even though Leaf de was a very powerful move, pokemons who have just learned it cannot use it to its full power, seeing Grovyle do it he was really surprised. He was right though, Grovyle has notpletely mastered the move, it was all due to the training he did to gain control over his element. Wattson "Maone on out" Maon once again came out of its Pokeball and saw Grovyle. Wattson "Thundershock" Maon sent Thundershock towards Grovyle but he dodged it very easily with his current speed. Julian "Leaf de" Grovyle once again charged towards Maon with full speed. Wattson "Ma Bomb" Maon sent out its powerful Ma Bomb towards Grovyle with full force. Julian "Protect" While moving in full speed Grovyle activated Protect as an energy shield formed in front of him as he charged front and mmed into the Ma Bomb using Protect, both the moves exploded from the collision and there was smoke everywhere covering everyone''s vision but it was not over, Grovyle came shooting out of the smoke and went right through Maon with his Leaf de. Maon fell on the ground as it had faintedpletely. Referee "Maon was unable to battle, Grovyle wins" Wattson "Hoho, I had never had so much fun battling since I was a kid" Wattson called back Maon and sent out his final pokemon. Wattson "Go Manectric" Manectric came out and it still had not received any damage so it was in perfect shape, Grovyle, on the other hand, was tired. Julian "Grovylee back you did a good job, you should rest now" Julian called back Grovyle and took out another ball. Julian "Larvitar you are up" Larvitar came out and looked at his opponent, unlike Treecko Larvitar was calm as he had grown up quite a lot during the past month and his nature also helped him quite a lot. Wattson "Hahahaha, would you look at that a pokemon which ispletely resistant to electric attacks, looks like you had a back up from the start" Wattson "Manectric use Tackle" Manectric bolted towards Larvitar with full speed, since electric type moves are useless against Larvitar Wattson had no choice but to use another type of moves. Julian "Substitute" Larvitar suddenly created a dummy of himself and moved back, Manectric mmed into the Substitute and sent it flying backward. Wattson "Quick Attack" Julian "Sand Storm" While Manectric was bolting towards Larvitar it suddenly saw could of dust umting everywherepletely blocking its vision, Manectric stopped in its tracks as it couldn''t see its opponent. Julian "Bulldoze" Manectric didn''t see iting at all but it was suddenly mmed from the side by Larvitar whose body was covered with earth energy, Manectric was sent rolling on the ground and it was seriously injured by it. Wattson was worried as he couldn''t see Manectric at all as the cloud of dust was covering the whole battlefield. Julian "Larvitar finish this, use Earth Power" Larvitar roared as his eyes glowed yellow, suddenly the ground beneath Manectric started to crack and suddenly and energy st was sent out attacking Manectric and sent it high in the air and it came crashing down. When the Sand Storm cleared the result was in, Manectric was knocked outpletely. Wattson looked at the result and sighed, he couldn''t do anything as he had no idea what was going on inside the Sand Storm. Referee "Manectric is unable to battle, Larvitar wins" Wattson "Looks like I lost" Wattson came up to Julian and gave his the Dynamo Badge. Wattson "This badge is a proof that you defeated, take it, I wish you luck in future. Hahahahaha" Heughed and walked away, Julian looked at him and smiled. Julian "He really is an entric man" Julian walked out and looked back at the gym. Julian ''Wattson is stronger than what was shown in anime, Ash''s Pikachu was over charged and won very easily in it but now things are different I want to know how will he win against Wattson'' Julian wondered and headed back to his hotel room. Julian ''I guess Daisy is up by now''. Chapter 111 - Back To Slateport? After defeating Wattson Julian was on his way towards the hotel room he was staying, on his way he saw an automobile showroom, he saw cars and bikes lined up behind a clear ss window, he suddenly remembered how hard it was for Daisy to sit on the bike as it is not even a bike which was made forfortable ride, it is an off-road bike. Seeing the cars inside the showroom he decided to look at a few of them when he entered he saw ady wearing a blue uniform which had the logo of the showroom on it walking towards him with a smile on her face. ?? Saleswoman ''What a handsome man'' The Saleswoman was very surprised to see Julian, she had never seen such a handsome man before in her life. Saleswoman "Sir what can I do for you?" Julian "I am looking around, if I need something I will call you" The Saleswoman nodded and walked away giving Julian time to look around the showroom, after looking around for sometime Julian was interested in buying between three cars, one is a Violet colored Sports car which looked like a Koenigsegg but it could not go off-road, another is an SUV which was good for off-road as well as on road but he thought it was too big, thest one is a car which looked like Dodge Challenger with four doors, the back doors opened like a wing and it has full matt ck body paint and two orange strips going right in the middle, after thinking for a while he decided to take the car which looked like the Dodge Challenger. Julian "Excuse me?" Hearing Julian, the Saleswoman walked towards him again and looked at him. Saleswoman "What can I do for you?" Julian "I would like to buy that car" Julian pointed towards the ck with Orange striped car, the Saleswoman looked at the car and burst into happiness but she didn''t show it, she kept all it inside her, this was one of the expensive cars in their showroom if she is able to sell it she would definitely get a promotion. The Saleswoman didn''t waste her time and started to talk about the car as it was the way to convince the customer to buy it. Saleswoman "Great choice sir, let me show you inside the car and what specs does it have" Julian, of course, knew what she was doing but he didn''t care, he just wanted to buy it. After all the formality was done Julian paid the money and got the keys to the car, since this was a big showroom and had many branches all over Hoenn they would register the car for customers who spent more so Julian didn''t have to go and register his new car at the police station. After all the legal paperwork were done Julian put his bike in the dimensional pocket and sat in his new car and rode away towards his hotel room. He parked the car in the parking lot and directly went to his room as he opened the door he saw Daisy was dressed but was talking to someone on the phone. Daisy "Are you sure you cannote to Mauville city?" Daisy "Ok fine looks like I have to go there as soon as possible" Daisy "Bye" Daisy turned around and saw Julian. Julian "Who were you talking to?" Daisy "My friend from the Breeder''s university" Julian "Oh what was it about?" Daisy "Julian, I have to go back to teport city to get the project we were working on, my friend is suddenly leaving Hoenn and cannote here to give it to me" Julian "Oh, then let''s go back to teport city and get it" Daisy "Are you sure, won''t you bete for your battle" Julian "Oh that, you don''t have to worry about it, I already won" Julian took out the badge and showed it to her. Daisy "When did you?" Julian "Today morning" Daisy "Then let''s go" Daisy became happy and kissed Julian and went back to the dressing table to put on some lite makeup after she was done preparing her self, they went to the parking lot. Daisy looked around but couldn''t find Julian''s bike. Daisy "Julian where is your bike, don''t tell me it is stolen" Julian took out the keys and pressed the button on it which made Julian''s new car get unlocked, seeing Julian''s action and the car near him just getting unlocked she became surprised. Julian opened the door and told her to sit after she sat he also got into the driver seat and started the car. Daisy "When did you get a car?" Julian "Today morning" Daisy "Why did you get a car?" Julian "So that you don''t have to suffer from leg pain" Daisy was once again surprised but she also felt happy so she kissed him on the cheek. Julian "That''s it? I thought I would get more than that" Daisy "Hehe, you have to wait" Julian helplessly shook his head and rode off as they left Mauville City to visit teport City again. Chapter 112 - A Piece Of Meteorite. On their way back to teport city Julian felt something off, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes on him, for a second he thought Mew was back but this gaze was very different, he could feel desperationing from it as if it was asking for help. He looked around while driving, Daisy noticed the sudden change in Julian''s attitude. ?? Daisy "Is something wrong?" Julian calmed down and looked at the road. Julian "Nothing, it was just my imagination" Daisy "Oh" Julian could still feel the gaze, suddenly he heard a sonic boom and the feeling was gone, he looked at Daisy and noticed that she didn''t hear the sound. Julian ''Was the decibel too high for her to hear?'' Julian was indeed right, the sonic boom he heard was above the capacity of a normal human, he looked around and saw few bird pokemons were flying in different directions in a hurry it looked like they were also startled. It was not over, he suddenly felt vibrations in the air, it felt like something big was moving in the air but he couldn''t see it. Julian ''System scan the surrounding'' The system started the scanning process and soon outputted the result. System ''A big hover ship is moving south towards teport city'' Getting the answer Julian became alerted, he infused Omniforce in his eyes and tried to look around, at first he couldn''t see but the more he infused the clear his vision became, then he saw an enormous ship like structure hovering in the air as it is traveling towards Sootopolis city, the ship is ck in color with ck and brown, and it had a ck colored ''S'' and White colored ''L''. Julian ''SL what is that?'' Julian wondered what it stands for then he suddenly remembered Shadow Legion. Julian ''Could it really be Shadow Legion? What are they nning to do?'' He thought that the sonic boom was created by this ship but he soon removed the idea as this ship was moving slowly and isn''t fast enough to create a sonic boom and the biggest reason is that it just reached here. Julian ''The thing that created the sonic boom was a living being and it was also the one staring at me'' Julian quickly came to a conclusion was that the Shadow Legion was up to something, so he stepped on the gas and speed up. Daisy was startled at first but didn''t say anything as it was better to reach the city early, Julian also notice the ship''s speed also increased and passed him, he just kept his pace and rode the car. After riding fast for more than two hours they finally reached teport city, he drove inside the city and stopped near the Pok¨¦mart. Julian "I just remembered something, you go and visit your friend and call me after your work is over" Daisy "Ok, see youter" With a peck on his cheek, she got out of the car and walked away, Julian took a deep breath and calmed down his thoughts but he didn''t get any time to rest, he again felt eyes gazing at him, he infused Omniforce in his eyes to look around but before he could find anything, he heard a cry then a sonic boom again as the gaze on him disappeared. Julian ''That cry, it wanted help'' Julian hit the elerator and rode towards the direction the thing left, as it was a city he had to drive slowly, he couldn''t just drive recklessly on road. He finally reached the end of the city, the beach, he parked the car on the side and looked around the beach, he didn''t find anything weird about it, he saw the regr tourist rxing and kids ying on the beach. He was disappointed not to find anything, as he was about to head back he again heard the sonic boom and this time it came from the south direction, from the sea. Julian ''Why is it calling me towards the sea'' Julian looked around and saw people everywhere, he couldn''t take out Gyarados in such a crowded ce so he called out Pidgeot. Julian "Pidgeote out" Pidgeot came out andnded near Julian, some kids ying around the beach saw Pidgeot and got excited. Kid "Hey look that Pidgeot is so big" Kid 2 "Yes, it so big, I wonder what it eats" Julian quickly hopped on Pidgeot. Julian "Pidgeot fly towards that direction" Pidgeot nodded and pped his wings and soared the sky with full speed, Pidgeot was fast, not faster than the thing that created the sonic boom but Pidgeot was also capable of creating it but now loud enough that even humans couldn''t hear it. Pidgeot flew for a few minutes but couldn''t find anything, but Julian didn''t give up he continued and finally he felt something the air around the surroundings suddenly changed, the energy present here is thicker than before, he suddenly felt like he passed through a barrier and what he saw next was an ind right in the middle. It was a big ind, arge town could be built on it. Julian looked at the ind and felt it was not from this world but it was still giving off familiar energy. Pidgeot suddenly started to act weird as he got excited and increased his speed suddenly, Julian quickly calmed him down and notice something as he was now quite near the ind, he saw people wearing brown uniform with letter ''L'' written on it, he also saw a man wearing ck and Brown uniform with letters ''SL'' on his uniform. Julian ''Shadow Legion?'' Julian patted Pidgeot''s head and indicated him tond somewhere where no one was around, Pidgeot soon found a ce near some trees and dropped Julian. Julian noticed that Pidgeot looked very impatient, he felt Pidgeot found something attracting him. Julian "Go and check it out what it is, thene back and find me" Receiving the green light from Julian Pidgeot flew away into a certain direction. Julian got back to his own thoughts and started to look around, after some time he saw a man wearing the brown uniforming towards his direction, Julian hid behind the tree, he saw this man carrying few pokeballs on his belt and a weird looking gun. Julian sneaked behind him and hit the back of his neck with a chop and rendered him unconscious, he took hismunicator and tied him up on top of a tree with his mouth closed. Julian switched on themunicator and changed the channel to everyone, and soon he started to hear voices. Voices "Boss, we found her but she escaped, it looks like she is carrying something" Voices "Boss, we found him as well but he is too strong, we need backup" Julian listened carefully to what these voices were talking about. Julian ''Are they trying to capture it?'' He suddenly heard a female voiceing from themunicator. Female voice "Continue to chase then, this ind might be big but our numbers are enough, I am still at the mining site so don''t disturb me, get one of themanders tomand you". Julian ''What''s going on here?'' Julian thought about the conversation he just heard, he was also curious about the energying out of the ground he was standing. Julian ''Let''s check out this first'' Julian started to control arge amount of Omniforce and slowly started to inject it into the ground after some time the whole Ind was covered with his Omniforce and what he discovered shocked him. Julian ''This whole Ind is a piece of a Meteorite and it is filled with different Mega stones and Keystones'' Julian couldn''t help but shiver by what he saw just now, he also realized why Pidgeot was so excited he must have found a Mega stone. Julian ''So Shadow Legion is after Mega Stones but why do they need so many, it''s given that more mega stones mean more powerful pokemon, are they even giving Mega stones to their workers, do they also have so many Keystones with them''. Julian ''But first'' Julian called out Infernape, Infernape came out of the Pokeball and sensed the dense energy present underground. Julian "Do you feel anything that is attracting you?" Infernape focused and tried to but couldn''t find anything attracting him, he could feel the dense pure energy but he felt nothing specialing from it, he felt that the energy surrounding Julian was much superior to this. Yes, Infernape could feel and sometimes even see the energying out and surrounding from Julian unlike his other pokemons, even Julian didn''t know about Infernape''s capability to see Omniforce as Infernape has not informed him. Why Infernape has not done it because he thinks everyone could see this energy so he didn''t even bother of asking his fellow brothers or Julian. Julian was disappointed but didn''t think much, Infernape didn''t need a Mega stone, to begin with, his powers suddenly started to grow at a rapid pace and now he was as Powerful as Snox in pure firepower, his defense was stillcking behind few of his brothers but his speed still kept him in lead. Julian "Ok stay alert and quite" Julian next called out his other pokemons and some of them actually sensed something reaching out to them, Venusaur, Gengar, and Kabutops actually found something attracting them. Julian suddenly became happy, he knew that there was a 90% probability of finding Mega stones for them. Infernape, Heatran, Electivire, and Snox didn''t get any reaction but they didn''t care. Grovyle, Larvitar, Ralts, and Milotic didn''t find anything attracting them, Julian thought that they still have not reached their final form so they didn''t get any reaction but he had no idea about Milotic. Julian called them back to their Pokeball and decided to find their mega stones after solving the problem which is going on right now. Chapter 113 - Commanders Of Shadow Julian slowly walked towards a camp set near him, he jumped from tree to tree carefully spying on the grunts of Shadow Legion who are moving from one ce to another, they were searching for something. When he reached the camp he saw a bulky man wearing a ck and brown uniform with ''SL'' on it, sitting on a chair and looking at the Mega Stone in his hand. ?? Bulky Man "Hahaha, Admin finally gave me a Mega Stone, with this, I am now amander rank" Suddenly a grunt walks to him hurriedly. Grunt "Commander Brad we have cornered her, Admin said onemander to take charge" Brad "Hahaha, we came here for the Mega stone now we are also going to catch our self some legendary let''s go" Brad quickly bolted towards the east side of the ind with few grunts behind him. Julian who heard everything couldn''t help but wonder if the one that was asking for help was this legendary they were talking about. Julian also followed them quietly, as he was following them he saw another group joining their party, the other group was led by a female with short purple hair. Brad "Zaily are you nning to interfere with my work?" Brad asked her as he was pretty annoyed by seeing Zaily. Zaily "Don''t think too much of yourself, you were just promoted tomander rank a few days ago, you don''t have brains nor brawn to go against a legendary" Brad "Why you...." Brad was really pissed even though his rank was the same as Zaily, she had more experience than him and also been amander for more than a year. Zaily "You know what? You should follow me, I will show you how amander of Shadow Legion should be" Brad didn''t say anything as he didn''t want to get demoted, even though he was now amander, Zaily still holds more power in the organization. Julian ''Ho, looks like they don''t get along well'' Soon they arrived far east side of the ind and there was a big hill which stood 50 meters tall and there were some grunts surrounding the hill and on top of the hill stood a man with ck hair and a scar on his face alongside with a Smence by his side and on the opposite was a Pokemon that was shaped like a Jet and had red and white color over its whole body. Julian ''Latias?'' Julian was surprised to see a Latias here. Julian ''Is she the one that was asking for help?'' Julian looked around and saw there were quite a lot of grunts present here and all of them had their pokemons out, Zaily walked towards the man standing on top of the hill. Zaily "Zabak looks like you have got a quite good hold on this one" Zabak "I can''t hold it for much longer, even though she is the weaker of the two she is still powerful, quick assist me" Zaily "Ok, Ok, chill, she won''t be going anywhere" Latias took off to the air but Smence followed behind and blocked her from escaping, even though it was hurt it could still fight to the end due to their aggressive nature. Julian ''That Latias is in big trouble'' Julian was quietly observing the situation as any slight mistake from his side can cause a hugemotion, as he was thinking of a n he heard a sonic boom and suddenly Zabak''s Smence was mmed into the ground, Julian finally saw what was causing the sonic boom, it was a jet like pokemon with blue and white color on it. Julian ''Latios, he must be the one who I sensed back then'' Latios looked at the direction Julian was hiding and cried, Julian understood he was asking for help, Julian stayed there and started to think about a n and the only n he could think of now was topletely destroy the other party, he couldn''t sneak attack as the ce was an open field and there were lots of pokemons here and they might since Julian''s presence if he let it loose even for a second. The Smence which was mmed into the ground stood up and attacked with Dragon Pulse at Latios, Latios didn''t notice the attack and was hit and was sent flying backward, Seeing Latios attacked Latias also attacked Smence with her own Dragon Pulse. Zabak "What are you doing, send out your pokemons. Smence counter with your own Dragon Pulse" Zaily "Aerodactyle on out" Brad "Aggron you tooe out" Latios also got off the ground and soared the sky again and came back to protect Latias, soon Smence and Aerodactyl locked Latios and Latias on a spot and Aggron was right below them ready tounch an attack at any time. Seeing them in pinch Julian opened his dimensional pouch and took out his mask and ck coat with red and white strips on it and quickly wore it. Julian "Here goes nothing" He tossed a Pokeball up in the air and jumped up, Gyarados came out of the ball standing 14 meters tall, Julian got up on Gyarados''s head and looked at the opponents in front of him. Gyarados roared loudly causing even the ground to shake, The threemanders were scared shitlessly when they heard the road and turned around to see a giant red Gyarados staring at them, they suddenly felt an immense pressure overwhelming them. Zabak saw Julian on top of Gyarados and frowned. Zabak "Who is that?" Zaily and Brad also noticed Julian and frowned as well. Zabak "I don''t know who you are or what your purpose of being here, don''t interfere or you will be sorry" Hearing the threat Julian burst intoughter, seeing Julian burst intoughter the threemander''s face became red, they were scared by seeing Gyarados but they still had numbers with them and they also could Mega Evolve their pokemons so that was also an additional power up to their team but still they didn''t want to fight Julian as they knew nothing about this mysterious masked man who is standing on a giant red Gyarados. Latias and Latios quickly escaped and id behind Julian as soon as they got the chance, Latios recognized Julian so he brought Latias alongside him. Zabak was pissed seeing their prey escape and hiding behind the masked man. Zabak "I will say this one mor-" Julian "Shut up and do what you want, nobody is stopping you" Zabak was pissed he looked at Zaily and then at Brad and signaled them something. Zabak "As you wish, Zaily, Brad show him what it means to go against out Shadow Legion" All of them shed their Keystones and soon the Mega Stones on their respective pokemons began to shine as well, then all of them started to achieve Mega Evolutions. The Grunts who were watching this trembled from excitement as they saw theirmander''s pokemons Mega Evolving. Brad "Haha, speechless you can never win against us" Julian just looked at them and started to p. Julian *p* *p* *p* Julian "Do you really think that just Mega Evolving your pokemons would give you an advantage" The threemanders didn''t expect this from Julian, they thought they would at least intimidate Julian but from the looks of it, he didn''t even move his eyes. Julian "What a disappointment, well you guys aremanders so I don''t expect any less from you guys, just top level trainers that all" Julian''s remark made them stiff, top-level trainers were only second to elite four and even elite four won''t look down on them, they didn''t expect Julian to look down on them. Brad was very short tempered so he snapped. Brad "Who do you think you are, Aggron sh Cannon" Aggron charged up a powerful attack andunched it towards Gyarados, the attack tore through the air. Julian "Gyarados Hyper Beam" Gyarados alsounched his Hyper Beam which shed with sh Cannon andpletely destroyed it and it continued towards Aggron, seeing the Hyper Beaming towards it Aggron quickly stepped aside and escaped just by an inch, the Hyper Beam went right through the ground creating a big hole. Brad, Zabak, and Zaily felt a shiver running down their spine, they didn''t expect the opponent to be this powerful. Julian looked at them and waited for their next move, the threemanders exchanged a nce and quickly decided to call the admin present on the ind, Zabak reached out for themunicator and was about to make a call but suddenly he felt a wind gust and the next moment themunicator was gone, he looked around and finally looked at the sky and saw a Pidgeot with themunicatorpletely crushed in his talons. Pidgeot flew down towards Julian and handed him a shiny orange crystal ball which was in his mouth. Julian took the crystal ball and saw that it was a Mega Stone, as he had assumed, Pidgeot found a Mega Stone, it was an orange marble with a red and yellow coloredyer inside it. Julian "Look at this I found a Mega Stone" Julian said it with a smile. The threemanders were speechless, they thought how hard they had to work to finally obtain a Mega Stone and seeing someone simply getting it from his pokemons made them feel frustrated. Julian "Ok then I shall end this here" He gave the Mega Stone to Pidgeot to hold. Julian "Let''s try your Mega Evolution" Pidgeot became happy and sore the sky and looked down on the three Mega Evolved Pokemon, he was ready for battle. Chapter 114 - Complete Devastation. Pidgeot looked down on the three mega evolved pokemons, Smence, Aerodactyl, and Aggron, he was ready for a battle. The mega stone in his beak reflected the sunlight off it, Julian took out his keystone and shed it, suddenly light started to emit for it and flowed towards Pidgeot, the Mega Stone in Pidgeot''s beak also started to glow and light started to flow out of it and connected with the lighting out from the keystone on Julian''s neck, soon Pidgeot started to glow as his wingspan started to get bigger, the feather on top of his head became thicker and started to change color. ?? Pidgeot transformed into Mega Pidgeot, his coat became bright orange, the end of his wings was white and blue, and he had a long red feather-like hair on his head. Zabak, Zaily, and Brad were worried they didn''t know if they will be able to take on these two pokemons and there was also Latios and Latias behind him. Zabak "We can''t back down now, we have to fight, order the grunts to confront the Gyarados and we will fight the Pidgeot" Brad "Grunts attack that Gyarados" Brad shouted at the Grunts present, they were startled and next, they got scared as they looked at Gyarados but seeing their numbers they build up some courage and sent out numerous pokemons, Julian frowned seeing this, he brought out Gyarados so that he could scare them off so these grunts won''t Interfere much, but he underestimated them, he forgot that if humans desire to revolt bes stronger the more scared they be, fear was also one of the humans greatest weakness and strength as well. Julian ''I should have predicted this, now hundred of pokemons are trying toe after Gyarados and me, Hmm looks like I have to bring down each and every one of them'' While Julian was distracted from the sight of hundreds of pokemons surrounding him, Zabak took action. Zabak "Smence, use Hyper Beam" Zabak underestimated Julian, even though Julian was focused on the pokemons down below, Pidgeot was still keeping an eye on them, Julian was connected with Pidgeot so he knew what was going on. Julian "Dodge then Air sh" Pidgeot moved away dodging the Hyper Beam, but Smence kept on shooting Hyper Beam so Pidgeot flew around in circles to escape. Zaily "Aerodactyl use Rock Slide" Aerodactyl suddenly created arge number of rocks and sent them crashing on Pidgeot, Pidgeot swiftly moved through the falling rocks while escaping the Hyper Beam. Brad "Aggron sh Canon" Aggron who is on the ground started to build up a powerful sh Canon, even thought Pidgeot''s speed increased from Mega Evolution he still couldn''t escape all three attacks before Aggron couldunch the sh cannon it suddenly felt a huge amount of pain on his stomach, it looked down and saw Infernape staring at it with red eyes and his fire on top of his head burned bright blue. As if it was in slow motion Aggron''s feet were lifted from the ground and was sent flying backward with the speed that broke the sound barrier from a powerful fire punch which is burning blue. Aggron was nted on a small hill and it fainted and lost its Mega form. Julian "Heatran finish the once down there" Julian then sent out Heatran, Heatrannded on the ground which caused a mini quack, the hundred of pokemons which were surrounding Gyarados felt more pressureing down on them. Heatran suddenly started to burn as orange energy started to cover his body, the surrounding was bing hot andva started to appear around Heatran, soon theva turned into a raging spinning tornado which started to suck in small stones, then started to rip the ground, small lightweight pokemons couldn''t hold on to the ground and were sucked in, the tornado started to spin faster and faster as pokemons started to get sucked in and soon the whole area was empty all the pokemons and grunts had totally disappeared from the area, the Magma Storm stopped and for a few seconds nothing happened then suddenly a grunt fell down with his body turned ck, soon many grunts and pokemon started to fall from the sky and after a few seconds there was a pile of unconscious people and pokemon lying on top of each other. Pidgeot Dodged the attacks easily as Aggron was taken care of by Infernape and the other pokemon were taken down by Heatran, Pidgeot saw that Smence was tired and saw his opportunity andunched a powerful Twister at the exhausted Smence, Smence was trapped inside a powerful Twister which continuously damaged it, it couldn''t take it for much longer. Zaily "Aerodactyl quick use Areal Ace" Areal Ace was a move which could never be dodged and Pidgeot was busy right now taking down Smence as Aerodactyl was just about to hit Pidgeot it was suddenly hit by a Hyper Beam which sent it crashing down on one of the small hills nearby, Aerodactyl lost its Mega form and fainted, Zaily was shocked and looked at the direction the attack came from, she saw smokeing out of Gyarados''s mouth, she realized Gyarados just attacked Aerodactyl. Soon Smence also gave up as it lost its Mega form and fainted, all the threemanders fell on their knees they just lost with few minutes. Zabak ''This is unfair how could he use more pokemon to suppress just the three of us'' Zaily ''This ispletely cheating, those things are not pokemons but monsters'' Brad ''I want to go home, mommy where are you'' Julian would be dumbstruck if he heard what was going in their mind, well he didn''t understand the feeling of gettingpletely devastated by someone as he has never experienced it. Julian called back his pokemons and then tied the threemanders up and started to interrogate them. Julian "So tell me whye to this ind?" Julian already knew that they were collecting Mega Stones but why do they need so many of them. Brad "We don''t know we only followmands, you should ask the Admins wemanders don''t have ess to highly authorized information" Zabak and Zaily nodded confirming this. Julian "So where is this Admin of yours" Zaily "She is right in the middle of the ind, there is an unknown shrine there, she is supervising right there" After getting all the information he needed Julian walked away toward leaving them behind as he didn''t care what they would do and he didn''t give a fu*k. Julian ''Looks like I have to go and talk to this Admin of their''s'' Julian continued on foot towards the middle of the ind. Chapter 115 - Missing Commanders? As he was about to leave to the middle of the ind he heard a call from behind, it came from Latios and Latias, both of them came towards Julian and rubbed their head on his hand to show their appreciation towards his help. Julian smiled and turned around to leave but he felt one of them holding on to his sleeve, he turned around to see Latios holding on to his sleeve with his mouth. ?? Julian [What is it?] Julian used telepathy and tried to talk with Latios. Latios looked at Latias and said something to her, Latias soon flew away towards the west in super speed. Julian was confused as he didn''t know what was happening, soon Latias came back with something in her mouth, it looked like a small wooden trident but the des were reversed, Latias got closer and Julian was able to see what it is, it is actually a flute. Latios took the flute from Latias and gave it to Julian. Latios [This is the Eon Flute, whenever you y it no matter where you are I wille to help you] Julian was surprised by this gift but he happily epted it. Julian [Thank you] Julian said his thanks and turned around to leave but his sleeve was caught again, he again turned around to see Latios holding his sleeve with his mouth. Latios signaled Julian to sit on him, Julian looked at Latios then hopped onto his back, Latios levitated up and shoot through the air in extreme speed, Julian covered himself with Omniforce as he had never experienced traveling in speedspared to this, Latios reached the middle of the ind under a minute, Julian was really shocked by the speed Latios could fly, the Ind was very big but Latios still covered it within a minute and he didn''t even fly at full speed. Latios dived down and Julian jumped off from Latios and watched him vanish into the sky again. Julian looked at the flute in his hand and felt some kind of power emitting from it, the power resonated with Latios and Latias, the flute looked like it is made up of wood but Julian was surprised to find how hard it actually is, it''s even harder than Tungsten. Julian kept the flute inside his dimensional pouch and slowly walked towards the main camp when he reached there he saw lots of grunts carrying pickaxes and shovels with them, there were also twomanders discussing something silently. Julian silently sneaked into one of the camps main tent by knocking a grunt down and when he went inside he found some document and aputer which was locked, Julian didn''t have any time to hack theputer so he quickly went through the documents to get a rough understanding about how the Shadows operate. One more thing Julian noticed was that even the grunts had rankings between them, the lowest level grunts had single strap sleeve they werepletely amateur, then came two strap sleeve grunts who were a little more experienced and hadpleted a number of missions which lead to their promotions, then came the three strapped sleeve grunts who were the experienced members of the Shadows, they were the one tasked with major missions under amander''s watch. (Chole was also a three strapped sleeve grunt if she hadpleted few missions she would have be amander). 10 One Strapped Grunts were under a single Two strapped Grunt, and 10 Two Strapped Grunts were under a Three Strapped Grunt, and these Three Strapped Grunts were under themanders. Julian read through the document and found out that the Shadows are nning for world domination and they have something within their grasp that might help them achieve it, it was not specified what it was but it was rted to their purpose of collecting so many Mega Stones. Julian ''What is this thing they hold which can help them in world domination?'' Julian thought about it and he suddenly started to frown. Julian ''If they really are trying to achieve world domination then there will be war'' Julian thought about his old self and how war had affected him, even though he ispletely different from his old self he still doesn''t want to experience war again. Julian ''Looks like my dream of traveling around the world peacefully is just a dream'' Julian kept back the documents and was now trying to figure out how to get rid of these members of Shadow Legion from this ind, he knew that he cannot let them collect more mega stone or the fate of this world may changepletely. He silently walked out of the tent and looked at themanders talking with each other. Tegio "Hey butch where is Brad?" Butch "I don''t know, he should have updated us about the situation by now" Tegio "Has something happened to him?" Butch "Who cares he just was promoted tomander, I thought it was just waste for him to given a Mega stone if he dies no one will care about him but the admins will surely be pissed if they cannot find the mega stone on him" Tegio "Haha you are right, he is useless but I think we should still check on him or Admin Eleanor won''t be happy with us" Butch "You are right, try contacting him on themunicator" Tegio "Ok.... Brad are you there? Brad.. can you hear me, is there anything to report?" Butch and Tegio frowned as they didn''t receive any answer. Butch "Why is he not answering back?" Tegio "What''s his assigned coordinates?" Butch "I believe its South East" Tegio "South East? Let me contact Zaily she is the nearest one to him" Tegio "Zaily, have you seen Brad?.....Zaily? Zaily? Zaily, are you there?" Now both of them were worried, Zaily was also not answering, Zaily was one of the primemanders of Shadows and if anything happens to her that would be a big loss to their syndicate. Butch "Try contacting Zabak, he might have some clue" They tried to contact Zabak but they didn''t receive any answers from him as well, Zabak was also a primemander of shadow and he held more power than any othermander in Shadow. Now they werepletely worried, out of fifteenmanders seven of them were assigned toe to this ind and now three of them are not answering back, both Tegio and Butch are assigned to take care of the main camp and the other twomanders are with Admin Eleanor inside the shrine. Butch "Contact Admin, inform her about this" Tegio "Wait, I will do it right now" While Tegio was trying to contact their admin Butch was worried sick. Butch "What really happened to all three of them, are there ant intruders?" Tegio "I cannot contact her, she must have gone past themunicator''s range" Butch "Shit, from what I know Admin instructed one of them to chase down Latias and Latios, something definitely must have happened" Tegio "What do we do? We cannot abandon or post like this, one of us have to stay here while the other has to go and check on them" Butch stayed silent, he knew this was the only solution but he didn''t want to go and check on them, the same thing goes to Tegio he didn''t want to go as well. Butch "Ok, you should go and check on them" Tegio "Why should I go, you should be the one, aren''t you always boasting how strong you and your pokemons are" Butch and Tegio were having a quarrel right now and Julian was sitting on a tree watching these two fools while eating some choctes. Julian ''So there are two moremanders and one Admin'' Julian looked straight and saw a tower which had been carved by ancient writings 200 meters away from his viewpoint. Julian ''They said that they lostmunication, it must mean that the shrine is built underground and is very deep'' Julian took themunicator he took from one of the grunts and saw that they were all high-end. Julian ''Even this high-endmunicator cannot reach the other side, just how big is this piece of meteorite or Ind if I must say'' Julian ''It also looks like people from the ancient time lived here but now they have disappeared and this ind is lost from the modern day, the barrier covering the ind is very strange as well just like the one from the unknown forest'' Julian just sat on the branch of the tree and looked at Tegio and Butch, they argued for a while and finally came to a conclusion. They both decided to leave as they can''t afford to go alone and ced a Three Strapped Grunt to supervise the others. Seeing them leaving Julian decided to take action. Julian ''Now that they are gone, I should start''. Chapter 116 - Gengar, Dont Do It Next Time. Julian jumped down the from the tree and slowly sneaked towards the shrine ahead while doing so he had to be careful as he didn''t want to alert the grunts when he reached near the shrine he saw four grunts guarding the entrance of the shrine, he hid behind a tree and looked at their surroundings. Julian ''There is no way for me to sneak in without being noticed by them, looks like I have to get some help'' ?? Julian took out a Pokeball and called out Gengar. Julian [Gengar go and distract those grunts over there] Gengar looked at the four grunts guarding the entrance and grinned and disappeared from his spot. Julian smiled warily and started to observe Gengar. Gengar again appeared behind a Grunt and smacked his head hard, the Grunt was startled by the sudden pain on top of his head and looked up, he thought it was a stone but he didn''t see anything that could possibly fall on him, he then looked at other grunts and saw all of them just standing there with their guns. Grunt ''Am I imagining things'' The Grunt rubbed his head as he still felt pain but he decided to ignore it, but Gengar had other ns, Gengar created a small fire on his hand and ced it on the ground right between his legs, for few seconds nothing happened but then he suddenly started to feel hot. Grunt ''Why am I feeling so hot there, is it because of the weather?'' But his horror has just begun suddenly the temperature went up and he felt something burning, he looked down and saw his crotch on fire. Grunt "AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG" The Grunt felt immense pain and burn on his balls, the other grunts looked at him and they were horrified, they unconsciously held their balls and shivered. Grunt "You idiots what are you doing just standing there, help me" The other grunts snapped out and looked at each other. Grunt 2 "I don''t have any water or water pokemons" Grunt 3 "We don''t have a nket either" The Grunts once again looked at each other and nodded at each other, it looked like all of them came to the same conclusion, they step forward and started to stomp the crotch of the burning Grunt repeatedly. "BAM, BAM, BAM" Grunt "Arrrrrggggggg, you motherfu*kers what are you doing, Arrrrggggg, Argggggggggggg" Julian who was a little distance away saw this and felt a shiver run down his spine, he noticed that the grunts were busy doing what they are up to now, seeing the opportunity he swiftly bolted and went inside the entrance without being noticed by the grunts. Once he was inside he looked back at the entrance and heard the screams of the grunt, Gengar also appeared in front of him as he wasughing his ass off. Julian couldn''t help but shake his head, he prayed that the grunt recovers from this traumatizing experience. (2 Min of silence for the Grunt''s crotch) He looked at Gengar who was stillughing. Julian [Gengar next time please don''t ruin people''s privet parts] Gengarughed and nodded at Julian. Seeing this Julian thought he did something wrong but he wondered what could be more worst than burning a person''s genitals, having no answer he decided to not think about it. Julian [Ok Gengar try to find a group of people wearing the same uniform inside this shrine, the shrine is big so be careful and don''t get lost, report to me as soon as you see them and no pranks] Gengar grinned and nodded, he then disappeared from Julian''s site and headed in search for the Admin of Shadows. Julian started to look around the shrine, he could easily see everything inside the shrine as they were lighted by some weird stones that were emitting light stuck on the surface of the shrine, he examined these stones and found out they are ember stones, they contain small amount of fire element in them, in olden times people used these as light source in house. Julian ''To think that people ced ember stones on these walls'' Ember stones were very costly as they can be used as an energy source or to make expensive jewelry, these stones are also beneficial to fire type pokemons. Julian carefully observed the carvings on the wall and saw carvings of Latias and Latios on it and how people worshiped them, he saw a group of people dancing around a fire, he also saw carvings of the weather trio both in their basic form and Mega/Primal form and how people in ancient time worshiped them as gods. Julian then started to walk further into the shrine and noticed alters which were used to worship these pokemons and serve them offerings. He also noticed written text on these alters which looked like some kind of prayer, after spending some time around these alters he also found out that the people who first came to this ind discovered it by mere coincidence and soon settled in, they also knew how to use mega evolution as well, but now there were no trace of these people. Julian ''How did they perish?'' He wondered, he saw no threat present on the ind that could wipe out a generation of people living here. Finding no answer he started to go deeper into the shrine and noticed many caves leading to different directions. Julian ''Should I check few of these caves or should I wait for Gengar?'' After thinking for a while he decides to look around a few caves, he entered one and walked for some time till he reached a dead end, he found a small wooden table and pots made out of y on the ground but the most eye-catching thing was a skeleton which was on a chair next to the wooden table, Julian walked forwards and examined the bones. Julian ''The bones are still sturdy, well the humans in this world have very sturdy bones so I think this is not a big deal, the skeleton had a piece of cloth covering its upper body, it had some rings on its figures made up of ember stones. Julian was disappointed as he didn''t find anything on the skeleton, e looked inside the pots and found nothing but dust in them. Julian ''If there was anything on them, those Shadow Legion must have taken them away, it''s impossible to find anything here'' Julian walked back to the area where all the cave entrances are and stood there waiting for Gengar toe back. His wait was soon over as Gengar appeared before him and pointed towards a cave on the right. Julian "Then let''s go". Chapter 117 - Meeting The Admin Julian followed behind Gengar inside a cave which looked smaller than the others present in the area where all the cave entrances were situated. While walking through the cave Julian saw the usual carvings on the wall, they were stories and writings of olden days so he took his time to read them as well. ?? After following Gengar for some time he noticed Gengar looking at the side of the wall with interest. Julian "Did you find something?" Gengar nodded. Julian "Then go and take a look I will find my way there" Gengar phased through the wall and disappeared from Julian''s sight, Julian then continued to move forward, after some time he started to notice the change in his surroundings, he noticed the walls were not carved anymore but it had mining marks on them, he noticed few ember stones stuck to the wall, he also noticed some spark stones and green color stones which contained electric and grass elemental energy. Julian had only seen ember stones and spark stone, he had never seen a green color elemental stones, he ripped one out of the wall and checked it with his Omniforce, then he did the same to the other stones as well. Julian ''These stones are not of this world at all, it''s from a different world'' The more Julian looked around the walls of the cave and more he noticed the difference between the elements. Julian ''This meteorite that crashed in Hoenn might be a part of a different world which contained lifeforce of its own, but for some reason, it might have been destroyed and a piece of it crashed in Hoenn'' The hypothesis Julian came up with was indeed true, this meteorite was a piece of the which got destroyed and a part of it came crashing to their worlds and even caused a mass extinction of many pokemon species, but it also caused the rise of new pokemon species as well. Julian ''From what I have right now I can say that there are worlds out there that have pokemons which ispletely unknown to the people here, this world had mega stones that brought out a pokemons full power, maybe there is a special type of element that is only special about this world as well'' Julian got more excited as he came to this conclusion, Mega stones were foreign objects that were specific to this destroyed world, what could the world Julian living right now have in store for him. From what he knows there are many regions in this world and these massive regions are just a part of a massive continent, the people of these continent has no idea what is in the other side of this world, how many supercontinents are there and what kind of power and pokemons they have. Julian calmed down as it was not the time to think about this stuff, as he moves forward he started to see fresh mining marks on the wall, they looked like they were made recently, the further he went the more mining marks could be seen and finally after half an hour walk he heard sounds of metal shing with rocks and stones. Julian ''They are carrying out mining forward'' Julian slowed down his steps and approached slowly towards the source of the sound, he saw few Shadow grunts using pickaxes and hitting mining out huge chunks of elemental stones. He saw that these grunts were supervised by a three strapped grunt who was yelling orders at them. Head Grunt "Mine properly, these stones are useful to the headquarters, if you destroy even one of them I will report him to the headquarters" The miners were all males who were cursing at the head grunt in low voice. Grunt 1 "Look at this mother fucker, making us do all the work and he told the girls to do whatever they want if I had three straps I would have showed him" Grunt 2 "Stay quiet, if he hears you we all are in trouble" The grunt kept his mouth shut and continued mining. Julian ''I have to take care of this bunch to move forward'' Julian took out a Pokeball and silently called out his pokemon. Julian "Venusaur, use Sleeping powder on those grunts" Venusaur came out and sent sleeping power on the grunts who are at the mining site, soon all fell to the ground falling in deep sleep. Julian "Good job, you may return" He called back Venusaur and walked past the sleeping grunts, he saw carts full of elemental stones of fire, electricity, grass, water, ground. He picked a few of them and stored it in his dimensional pouch and walked forwards, to his surprise he found the main group just a few distances away from him, he hid behind a rock and spied on this group, he was a woman with green hair wearing green sses and white long uniform with S and L written on her uniform. A tall bulky man stood beside her, he had blond hair wearing a ck/brown uniform with SL written on his uniform as well, he was looking in the tablet on his hand, there were also three grunts around them and all of them had three straps on their sleeve. The woman was clearly the admin as she was staring at the wall in front of her. The bulky man beside her stopped looking at his tablet and looked at her. Grant "Admin, the readings are definitelying from behind this wall" Admin "Then break the wall" Grant "Yes" He tossed a Pokeball and a Houndoom came out, it was a pretty big Houndoom with well-built muscle and thick andrge horns. Grant "Houndoom break that wall" Houndoom took a stance and dashed towards the wall and used Headbutt going right through the wall and shattering itpletely. As the wall waspletely destroyed and what they saw beyond was a big grasnd. Julian was surprised to see a grasnd such deep inside a cave and that inside a piece of meteorite. The Admin looked at the grasnd in front of her and smiled. Admin "You three wait here, Grant came with me" Admin walked in and Grant followed behind her, the Grunts didn''t say anything and stood in front of the shattered wall. Julian saw them entering and thought of a way to enter, he didn''t want to use his pokemons as space right now is small for his pokemons. Julian ''I have to take care of them myself I guess'' Julian sneaked in closer then suddenly bolted towards the Grunts, the three Grunts who were on watch suddenly noticed Julian but before they could do anything Julian had alreadyunched the attack. First he went with a roundhouse kick to the jaw of the first Grunt, the second Grunt moved forwards to deliver a punch but Julian ducked and caught his face with his hand and mmed his head on the ground, the third Grunt tried to warn the Admin but before he could escape, Julian caught him from back and used a German Suplex on him knocking out all three of them within seconds. Julian dusted his coat and looked at the three unconscious Grunts. Julian ''Well that was easy'' He also entered the grasnd through the shattered wall and looked around, the grass around the area grew evenly, even though there was no sunlight present, he bent down and touched the ground then the walls around. Julian ''This was definitely man made'' Julian was really impressed by these people of ancient time, they actually created a grasnd inside a meteorite, well technically this meteorite was a piece of a world before. He then saw footprints on the grass, he knew that these footprints were of the admin and themander present with her, he followed the footprints and soon they both came to his sight, they were standing in front of a huge wall and this wall was covered withrge shiny rocks, Julian was shocked seeing this, these shiny rocks looked exactly like the sundial which was present in Kalos. He looked around and saw that the walls around these rocks were forming Mega stones some of them were already formedpletely and some of them were still being formed. Julian ''So these crystal rocks are really the reason behind the creation of mega stones'' The Admin and Commander were so fascinated by the scene in front of them that they didn''t even notice Julian''s presence, he slowly pulled out his mask and wore it as he didn''t want to reveal his identity to them. Grant "Admin we found it, with so many crystals we can easily control it" Admin "Hehehehe, indeed, the boss will be very happy, with so many crystals boss dream of world domination will be a sess and when I will be promoted to be a leader of the Shadow you will be promoted to Admin" Grant "Admin you are awesome, hahahaha" Admin "First let''s mine out the fully formed Mega stones then inform the boss about it" Grant "Ok, I will call in the Grunts" Grant turned around and saw a Man wearing a mask and a ck coat staring at them. Grant froze as he saw Julian. Grant "You? Who are you? What are you doing here?" Admin turned around after hearing Grant and was also surprised. Julian "Well I am your Boss''s old friend why don''t you go and ask him yourself" Grant "GRUNTS GET YOUR ASSES HERE" Julian "Don''t scream you, idiot they won''te, I already took care of them" Admin became serious, she knew no one coulde until here withouting in confront with the grunts and the twomanders. Admin "Who are you?" Julian "Are you deaf? Didn''t you just hear I just said I was your boss''s old friend" Admin "I don''t care who you are, get out from here or you will regret it" Julian "That''s the same thing those three idiots ofmanders said to me, well I am quite fine" Admin "Who are you referring to?" Suddenly themunicator on her waist started to ring and cracked voices started toe through it. The Admin took themunicator and increased the antenna to get a better signal. Butch "Boss, someone has infiltrated the camp, I cannot find Brad, Zaily, and Zabak anywhere, but I found signs of a huge battle" Julian ''Huh? he couldn''t find them, I left them right there, where could have they gone? well who cares'' The Admin was shocked and she looked at Julian. Admin "Why didn''t you inform me?" Butch "Admin you were out ofmunicators range, I am currently using a signal enhancer tomunicate with you" She cut themunicator and looked at Julian Admin "What do you want?" Julian "I just want you idiots to stop whatever you are doing" Admin "Haha, so you are trying to y hero" Julian "No, No, No, you got me all wrong, I don''t intend to y hero at all, I just want to enjoy a peaceful life and you idiots along with those stupid group Magma and Aqua are making my life very difficult, so if you stop right now I won''t bother with you, and I might even spare you whole syndicate" Admin "Hahaha, you think you alone can stop the Shadows, you are a fool, not even the champion dares to say that" Julian "I will say this onest time, stop all this and get lost from this ind and nevere back" Admin "We both are very stubborn so let''s settle this with a battle" Grant "Admin you don''t have to, I will take care of this punk" The Admin looked at Grant as if she was looking at an idiot. Admin ''Didn''t he hear what Butch just said, he also took care of three Commanders, well let him try at least I will get a reading on how powerful he is'' The Admin nodded. Grant came forwards and sent out his Pokeball. Grant "Houndoome out". Chapter 118 - Finding Mega Stones. Grant sent out a Houndoom as it came out it looked at Julian and growled showing of its sharp and long canine to Julian. Julian was just indifferent seeing this, he thought he didn''t need to take extreme ways but he was proved wrong. ?? Julian ''I should have known these idiots won''t listen even if it''s for their own good, well since they like to take the hard way around, I will show them'' Julian''s eyes became cold as he stared at the growling Houndoom, the Houndoom suddenly felt immense pressure on itself, it looked at the cold red eyes of Julian and felt chills, it tried to fight back by growling harder but it started to feel scared, its heart started to beat faster, its instinct said it to run as far as possible, the more Houndoon started at Julian the more it got scared, it felt Julian was a demon. Grant looked at his Houndoom and couldn''t believe what is going on in front of his eyes, his Houndoom was shivering in fear in front of Julian even though he wasn''t doing anything. Grant "Houndoom what are you doing? Snap out of it" The Admin also clearly noticed it and didn''t know what was going on, she looked at Julian saw his eyes, she felt cold and suppressed for no reason. Admin ''His eyes'' Admin "Grant, use mega evolving" Admin came up with this idea as she had experienced how a pokemons will be more confident and brave after mega evolving if the trainer is not experienced enough the pokemon might even harm him/her during mega evolution. Grant "Yes" He took shed his keystone and tried to mega evolve his Houndoom, as the keystone started to emit energy which started to fuse with the mega stone hanging on Houndoom, Houndoom started to grow bigger as the bones on top of its back and next started to grow and form a shield like structure with sharp edges. The Houndoom achieved Mega evolution and stood straight, the pressure it felt was reduced significantly but it was still there weighing down on it but right now it was not as scared as before. Julian looked at this and felt bored. Julian "You guys are wasting my time" Julian tossed a Pokeball in the air. Julian "Finish it" Admin knew that if she didn''t take action things might get bad so she also sent our her pokemon as well. Admin "Go kazam, Mega Evolve" As soon as she sent out her kazam she Mega Evolved it as it started to float on the air with five spoons above its head. Julian''s Pokeball opened and Heatran came out andnded causing the ground to shake. Grant "What kind of Pokemon is that?" Admin also frowned as she also had no idea what pokemon was this. Admin "Who cares, attack, kazam use Psycho Cut" Grant "Houndoom Dark Pulse" Heatran didn''t care about the iing attack, he opened his mouth and used Crunch. A massive jaw made of dark energy formed in front of him and crunched down on the iing attack,pletely destroying it, he then stood on his hind legs and brought down his front two legs to the ground with full power and used Earthquake, the ground shook and caused Houndoom to tumble and crash down and caused massive damage by the tectonic action under the ground, kazam didn''t get affected as it was levitating in air, but still it got startled and sent out another Psycho cut. Heatran used Crunch once again and this time it was more massive than beforepletely crunching down on both kazam and the Psycho cut. Just in few seconds both of them werepletely out, knocked out cold, Grant and Admin were shocked and stepped back in fear. Grant "Admin what should we do?" Admin looked at Grant and thought how useless he is, she looked at Julian and tried to think of a way to get away from here. Admin "As you said, we will stop what we are doing and never return to this ind ever again, ok bye" The Admin started to walk away and went past Julian, Grant also quickly followed behind her, as they were about to bolt and felt that they escaped they heard someone talking right next to them. Julian "Who said you could leave?" Julian caught up with them and put his hands on their shoulders and said it in their ears, they froze on the spot and turned their head to their side to look at Julian who was smiling, suddenly they felt heavy and fainted. Julian "Idiots" Julian carried them back and took out two chairs from his dimensional pouch and ropes, he then tied them up to it. Julian "They will take some time to regain consciousness, till then" He looked at the huge crystal rocks on the wall and ceiling and started to examine it, soon he found out that the whole ind depends on these crystals as an energy source. Julian "This Crystal also acts as fuel for the whole Ind, if it is removed the Ind might die" He also realized that the greenery inside this grasnd is also because of these crystals. Julian "I will take a small part and give it to Professor Oak" Julian broke a small piece from a crystal and kept it inside the dimensional pouch, he then released his pokemons. Julian "Try to see if you find any stones resonating with you" All his pokemons nodded except, Infernape, Pidgeot and Gyarados, Snox just looked around and went back to sleep as it was the most important thing in the world for him. His other pokemons started to look around and the first one to find a mega stone was Venusaur, the Mega stone was formed right under a tree which had an abundance life force in it. Kabutops soon found his inside a pond, Electivire looked around and finally found it but it was way high on the top stuck to the ceiling surrounded by spark stone. Julian saw this looked up, he noticed not one but three mega stones, but all looked different. Julian "Pidgeot help Electivire get the Mega stone he wants" Pidgeot flew towards Electivire and asked him which one, he then pointed at the one to the right, Pidgeot flew up and ripped a chunk of the ceiling and brought it back to Electivire. Heatran didn''t find anything interesting except for some ember stones which he ate. Julian looked at his other pokemons, Grovyle, Milotic, Ralts, Larvitar, they seem busy ying and didn''t find anything attracting them. Julian ''Maybe they the remaining ones might be in Sootopolis city'' Julian thought and looked at the pokemon who got a mega stone, they were happy as they had their own now. Julian noticed that the Admin and Grant were about to wake up so he called back all his pokemons and kept their mega stones in his pouch and walked towards the unconscious Admin and Grant and sat on a chair and waited for them to wake up. Chapter 119 - Interrogation The Admin slowly opened her eyes to see Julian sitting right in front of her, he got startled and tried to move but she was unable to, she noticed that she was tied up, she looked to her left to find Grant also tied up unconscious. Admin "Release me right now" ?? She shouted at Julian, Julian covered his ears hearing her scream. Julian "Shut it woman" The Admin became quite and angrily red at Julian. Julian "So tell me your name" Admin "What does it have to do to you?" Julian "Nothing personal, just asking the name of my friend''s employee" Grant soon woke up to find his self tied up to a chair, he tried to struggle out of it but he failed, he red at Julian angrily as well. Grant "You will pay for this" Julian "Hahahahaha" Julian burst intoughter as he heard Grant. Julian "So how are you going to do it? Do you know who I am, where I live?" Grant also turned silent, the man in front of him was wearing a mask and had a weird pokemon he has never seen Julian "Ok, now it''s my turn to start asking question" Julian smiled and pulled his chair closer to them, he cracked his fingers and then looked at the Admin. Julian "Your name?" Admin "I won''t tell you even if you kill me" Julian "Ok them" Julian just smiled and grabbed one of Grant''s left hand''s finger and snapped it while still looking at Admin with a smile on his face. Grant "Arrrrrgggggggg, my finger, my finger, arrrggggggg" Grant screamed in pain as his pinky finger waspletely dislocated by Julian, The Admin felt fear when she heard Grant scream, she saw his face filled with pain, he looked at her with hatred. Julian "Your name!" Admin "Cercy" She said in a low voice, she was scared, this was the first time the roles have been reversed, she was the one who had always tortured the innocents but she also didn''t go to such an extent that is to dislocate a finger. Julian "See, not so difficult at all, look at him because of you he might lose one of his fingers" Cercy didn''t say anything, Grant, on the other hand, gritted his teeth he med Cercy for this, he wished he had nevere to this ind. Julian "Ok them next question, why is Shadow Legion collecting so many Mega stones?" Cercy stayed quiet as she cannot reveal top secret information of the legion to outside or she might die. Julian "Ok then don''t say" Soon another snap was heard as Grant screamed in pain again, Cercy turned around to see another one of Grant''s finger was dislocatedpletely. Grant "You bitch, just tell him or I will kill you" Cercy was really scared, she couldn''t say the secret information of the Legion but she was scared right now, she didn''t know why but she thought that if she didn''t tell Julian about it, she might suffer for something worse than death. Cercy "It is for powering up a device which will help us to dominate the world" Julian felt that she was still hiding something. Julian "So tell me about this device, how will it be used or where will it be used?" Cercy didn''t know what to do, she thought that she might reveal just some secret and escape but Julian is not letting her so easily. Julian "Come on tell me" Julian said as he grabbed another finger of Grant. Grant "YOU BITCH, TELL HIM RIGHT NOW, I PROMISE I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF" Julian "Shut up" Grant shut his mouth and red at Cercy, Julian waited for a few seconds. Julian "Toote" "Snap" Another snap and one more finger of Grant''s was snapped. Grant "YOU BITCH, I AM GONNA KILL YOU, ARRRGGGGGGGG" Cercy shivered, she even wet herself but she was wearing a sanitary pad so there was no leakage. Julian "Look''s like you won''t say anything, I should use another method" Cercy broke finally. Cercy "No wait, I will tell you everything I know, please don''t do anything to me" Julian smiled and lifted her chin. Julian "Good girl, now start talking" Grant had already fainted from the pain he suffered from, Cercy cleared her throat and started to speak. Cercy "This device is said to channel all the energy from the mega stones and those crystals and put it into a Jade Orb which was found by the boss, he is going to use the orb to control an ancient pokemon, he is gathering all these Mega stones so that he could force this ancient pokemon into submission and getplete control over it, I don''t know what this Ancient pokemon is but from my guess it''s either Rayquaza or a mysterious pokemon that was seen battling with it four years ago in LaRousse City" Julian frowned hearing this. Julian "Did you say mysterious pokemon fighting with Rayquaza?" Cercy "Yes, it is unknown where it came from, people think its just a hoax but our boss is trying to look for it everywhere" Julian "So your boss is collecting all the mega stones and use its power to make Rayquaza submit to him and use it for world domination?" Cercy nodded. Julian "Hahahahahah" Julian burst intoughter. Julian "Man I thought that this Shadow Legion will be something new but they are the same as those Idiots Magma and Aqua, except different take on what they want to achieve, well that''s disappointing, but still I have to stop your boss, he already ruined my time in Hoenn and I cannot let him keep doing so, right?" Cercy just nodded, she didn''t want to disagree with this devil in front of her. Julian "So where is your headquarters?" Cercy "Near LaRousse city, inside the forest nearby" Julian "Well then, since the interrogation is over, I think you should leave" Julian knocked her out and she fainted again. Julian "Now how do I get all these idiots out of this ind, wait I should call them" Julian first called out his pokemons and asked them to carry all the unconscious Grunts out of the shrine, when he came out he was a fight going on, all the grunts in the camp were defeated and only Butch and Tegio were fighting against Latias and Latios. Julian "Ho, what is happening here?" Butch and Tegio turned around to see Julian and where shocked. Butch "You, who are you?" Tegio was a little sharper and saw their unconscious admin next to him and frowned before they could do anything, they suddenly felt cold beneath their pants, they looked down and saw their crotchpletely frozen, they felt immense pain and fainted, when they fell down the culprit was revealed, it was Gengar who had suddenly appeared behind them and froze their crotch. Julian looked at this and smiled awkwardly, he had said Gengar not to burn a person''s Genitals but who would have thought that Gengar will freeze them. Julian "Gengar did you get what you were looking for?" Gengar nodded and showed a shiny marble to Julian, it was a grey marble with purple and red pattern inside it. Julian "Good" He took the Mega stone and kept it inside his pouch, he then looked at the campsite and noticed that most of these grants were taken care by Gengar, he then looked at Latios and Latias who were flying in circles around him, he nodded at them and took out a huge. Julian "Ok, guys put them all in this and send them out of this ind" All his pokemons started to carry the grunts and put them on the, after doing so, Latios, Latias and Pidgeot carried the huge filled with humans and dumped them outside the ind. Julian asked Snox to destroy the huge hover-ship of Shadows. After settling everything he decided to leave. Julian "Ok then I will be leaving" Julian said to Latios and Latias, they nodded. Julian "Will you be okay? they might return" Latios [Don''t worry once a human leave the ind they cannot find it ever again if we didn''t allow them, they used something to track down the ind at first but now it is destroyed] Julian "I see, then I will be going" Julian hopped on to Pidgeot and flew away towards teport city. Chapter 131 - Chloe Julian walked around the school until Daisy''s exam was over, the pokemon school was nothing special it was the same as other schools in different cities and towns. After waiting around for three hours Daisy finally came back finishing her exam. ?? Julian "How did it go?" Daisy "I think it went well" Julian "Great, so we can leave to Fortree city?" Daisy "Ok, when do we leave?" Julian "We can leave today" Daisy "Fine, lets head back to the hotel then we can continue" Julian took Daisy back to the hotel so that she could get ready, Julian went out to fill up his stock and returned back to see that Daisy was ready since they had nothing to do they left the town and headed back to Mauville city as it was the only way to go east of Hoenn, Mauville city connected many town and cities, it was also the biggest city in the east of Hoenn. While riding back to Mauville city through route 11 they didn''t face any trouble, the road was peaceful and no sign of sandstorm could be seen. Once they reached Mauville city after days of riding they rested there for a day before continuing their journey through route 19. After traveling from route 18 to 19 he noticed that there are many grasnds and big hills around here, he noticed that birds of different regions could also be seen flying around here, Julian thought how much a picture of andscape changed just by moving from one ce to another. As he was enjoying the scenery he heard something flying towards them from the back with full speed, he turned around a saw a big blue pokemon with red wings shooting like a jet in the air, he also saw a woman sitting on it and she had red hair and glowing green eyes, but these eyes looked dead with no self-conscious reflecting on it. When Julian saw this woman he was shocked, he froze for a second and came back Julian "Chloe?" Julian hit the elerator and chased after the Smence, Daisy was startled seeing Julian act like this, she heard Julian call out a woman''s name and looked at the woman sitting on top of that Smence. Daisy ''Is she the one Julian was talking about'' Daisy bes nervous and her heart beat fast as she falls into deep thought. Julian chases after the Smence, Smence who was flying at full speed looked back and see someone chasing it so it increases its speed. Julian "Pidgeote out" Julian "Pidgeot keep an eye on that Smence follow it till the end" Pidgeot nods and shoots towards the sky and chase Smence, Chloe who was sitting on top of the Smence turns around and looks at Julian but there is something different about her. Julian "Her eyes, they look lifeless" Julian got worried about seeing this, her pupils were glowing green instead of her usual brown pupils. Daisy heard him and tried to observe Chloe''s eyes, she couldn''t see clearly that far but she could tell that eyes don''t glow like that. Chloe''s face had no change and she looked like an expressionless robot, she tapped her Smence head as if giving some kind ofmand, the Smence sent out a Dragon Pulse towards Julian but Julian moved the car and escaping it but it caused the car to get jerk a little but he continued. Julian "Pidgeot, don''t attack her, she might get hurt" Pidgeot nodded and shot towards Smence and started to distract it by flying circles around it and distracting it, Julian got his grip on the road and once again hit the elerator. Seeing the annoying Pidgeot flying around her Chloe once again tapped Smence on the head and it dived down towards a hill nearby, Pidgeot also chased behind it by maintaining some distance. When he reached near the hill he got out of the car and took out his bike, as he sat down he noticed Daisy also followed and sat behind him, he looked at her once then started the bike and ride up the hill, when he reached up the hill he saw Pidgeot was moving around the sky dodging Smence''s attacks, he also saw Chloe simply standing there motionless looking at Pidgeot. Julian approached her and looked closely at her, he noticed arge amount of psychic energy emitting out of her body, equal or even a little stronger than Gengar''s. Julian "Chloe" Julian called her and Chloe looked down towards Julian, Daisy was standing right behind him and looking at Chloe, she felt odd when looking at her, she didn''t feel like a human at all to Daisy. Julian carefully looked at the aura surrounding Chloe. Julian ''It is not human something is definitely controlling her'' Julian then looked at Smence and saw that it was also under some kind of mind control but for some reason it still had awareness. Julian ''I need to bring down that Smence if I want to help her'' Julian "Kabutopse out, help Pidgeot bring down that Smence" Julian sent out Kabutops because along with mastery of Rock and Water, Kabutops also had tremendous control over Ice so bringing down a Dragon was no big deal for Kabutops. As soon as Kabutops came out he started to attack Smence and brought it down quickly as Pidgeot pinned it down on the ground till it became unconscious. Seeing Smence down Chole''s body suddenly started to glow green and she started to float in the air, she was trying to escape, but before she could the psychic energy around her body gotpletely suppressed by an invisible force and she fell back to the ground. Julian used his Omniforce to suppress the psychic energying off her body, he quickly approached her and hit some upoints to render her unconscious. Daisy approached and looked worriedly at Chloe. Daisy "Is he alright?" Julian stayed silent and started to infuse Omniforce into Chloe''s body to see what''s happening and he soon found the reason, he found a thin line of consciousness connected to her lifeforce itself, if he tried to remove this consciousness Chloe might die. Seeing this Julian frowned. Julian "She is not fine, but her life might be in danger, I have to find the source of this psychic energy" Daisy was really worried now, she knew Julian cared about this woman who is unconscious right now and she couldn''t do anything to help. Julian went into deep thought and was trying toe up with a solution. Julian "Let''s leave her here" Julian put Chloe on the ground and called back his pokemons and walked back to his bike. Daisy "How could you do that? Can''t we take her with us?" Julian "Don''t worry, I know what I am doing. Even if we take her with us when she gains back her senses she will start to retaliate and oppose us, it can be dangerous, her life is not in danger until the thing that is controlling her is safe and sound. I left a type of tracker in her body, when she wakes up she might go to this ce where the thing controlling her is" Daisy "I see" Daisy bes silent, in situations like this it is best for her to listen to Julian, she felt useless as she couldn''t help him in any way, they went back to their car and went a little far from the hill area. After waiting for a while the unconscious Smence woke up to see its master on the ground, it went towards her and started to lick her. Eventually, Chloe woke up but her eyes were still the same, glowing green, she just stood up and hopped on Smence and flew away towards South-East direction. Julian observed properly and noticed that the two major cities are situated in that direction, LaRousse, and Sootopolis city. Julian ''Looks like everything finallyes down to these two cities'' Julian sighed and continued driving towards Fortree city. Chapter 132 - Small Village Julian not in a right mood today, he thought that Chloe had forgotten him and moved away in her life but now seeing her confined by something he was a little angry about it. Daisy "Julian are you all right?" ?? Julian calmed his thought and sighed. Julian "I am fine, you don''t have to worry about it" Daisy didn''t know how to react, she knew Julian cared about Chloe and seeing someone you care in that state would leave you devastated as well. Daisy "How about we stop in the next town and take some rest, it will help you loosen up" Julian "I think you are right" Julian smiled at her and hold her hand, Daisy also smiled and calmed her thoughts as well, she also felt very bad when she saw Chloe, she didn''t even look human at that moment. After traveling for a day they finally reached a small vige on top of a mountain, there were only small stores and houses in this vige, there was no pokemon center or convenience stores, it was just a peaceful small ce. When they entered the vige they were greeted by the people happily, Julian and Daisy were surprised by this warm greeting. One old man came forwardsughing towards them. Old Man "Wee to our humble vige, we haven''t had visitors for years you are the first one" Julian and Daisy got out of the car and greeted the vigers. Julian "Hello I am Julian and this is Daisy" Daisy "Hello" Old Man "What a beautiful couple you two are" They both smiled after hearing this. As the old man weed Julian and Daisy, an old woman came forward. Old Woman "Old man are you going to keep them at the gate the whole day bring them in" Old Man "Ah, look at me being so unreliable, this old woman is my wife,e I will show you where you can stay" The Old Man and woman brought Julian and Daisy to a small home which had a small bathroom and a hall, on the way they found that these two are Mr & Mrs. Abreo and are also the head of the vige. Mr. Abreo "Even though the home is small its the best we have, I am sorry if it isn''t up to your standards" Julian "What are you saying Mr. Abreo, this is a great ce you don''t have to feel sorry for anything" Daisy "Yes, Julian is right, we really like the ce" Mrs. Abreo "You are such good children, you remind me of my children" Mr. Abreo "Ok woman lets leave them alone they must be tired after their long journey" Mr & Mrs. Abreo left leaving behind Julian and Daisy. Julian and Daisy were tired so ate their dinner and decided to sleep to reset their mind, the next morning they woke up to hear children voice in front of the home, Julian walked out and saw few kids ying around his car, some were using white chalk to draw on it, some had climbed the roof and jumped around, Julian was at first dumbfounded then he started tough seeing this. Daisy also joined him and smiled seeing these kids ying, Julian looked around and saw a few vigers doing their usual work whats more Julian noticed that everyone had a steel type pokemon with them, and some of them from Sinnoh region as well. Aron, Bronzor, Shieldon, etc. Julian was surprised by seeing these pokemon, maybe they had another typing but still, they had steel as their second typing. Mr. Abreo suddenly appeared and greeted them. Mr. Abreo "Did you sleep wellst night?" Julian "Yes we did, thank you for your hospitality" Mr. Abreo "Good, why don''t toe and have some breakfast, my wife makes delicious food" Julian "We will be happy to" Julian and Daisy joined Mr. Abreo to his house to have breakfast. Julian "Mr. Abreo why does everyone have steel type pokemon in this vige?" Mr. Abreo "Oh that, at first people of our vige believed that Dialga itself blessed this smallnd for steel type pokemons to thrive butter we found out there is a very powerful maic field underground that helps steel type pokemon grow strong, hence many steel type pokemon get attracted here, as time passed people here started to rise them in this small vige" Julian "I see" Julian nodded his head after understanding the reason for so many steel type pokemons. After having their breakfast Daisy decided to stay with Mrs. Abreo to help her around, while Julian decided to look around the mountain to see if there is anything interesting in this mountain. Julian took out his bike and rode away towards the mountain top to search for something, as he moved around the mountain he saw many caves that led inside the mountain, maybe they were built by humans or maybe by some pokemons or it could be naturally formed. Since he couldn''t ride his bike inside the caves he decides to walk so he kept his bike inside his pouch and walked in, after entering the cave he noticed that many thingse and go out of this cave every day. After going around inside the mountain''s maze and found only a strong maic field which was naturally formed and few Steel-type Pokemon but they were too weak from him to catch them if he caught them he had to concentrate on training them more and have to ignore his other pokemon. Julian always caught pokemons that were on the same level as his pokemons so he can not ignore his other pokemons. Seeing that there is nothing to be found here he decided to go but his luck was not over as he started to walk he felt a sudden quake, suddenly the wall was smashed from other side and a Metang was flung away and crashed down near Julian, he got startled by the sudden appearance of a Metang, he then heard sound of a metal grinding on rocking towards him. He turned around and saw a Steelixing towards him. Julian "Now things get interesting" Chapter 122 - Kirlia Julian said Daisy to stay in the town while he trains on Mt. Chimney, Daisy agreed to him as she didn''t want to interfere with his training, Julian then took out his bike from his dimensional pouch and rode off towards Mt. Chimney. Once he reached near Mt. Chimney he saw cable cars which would take tourist to the top, Julian decided to take his time and ride his bike to the top of the mountain, the mountain roads were pretty rough but his bike was made for mountain rides so he faced no problem while riding it. ?? After reaching the top of Mt. Chimney he felt the temperature rising, it is because Mt. Chimney is an active volcano, he looked around and saw that this ce was perfect for training, he then called out, Trapinch, Milotic, and Larvitar out as they were the best pokemon he had which could go against fire types. Julian started with Milotic first and tried to teach her Aqua Ring and Aqua Tail, he then moved on to Larvitar and thought him how to use Earth Power more efficiently, he even asked Heatran to guide Larvitar, Julian then taught Larvitar how to use Crunch and Larvitar learned it easily and his Bite turned into Crunch, next he mad Larvitar learn Rock Slide. He then moved on to Trapinch, Trapinch already had good moves even though they were not much, Julian decided to level up Trapinch as he will learn some moves automatically. For the next few days, Julian trained these three pokemon, that doesn''t mean Ralts and Grovyle were left alone, he made Gengar and Venusaur train Ralts and Grovyle respectively, even though Gengar was not a psychic type he could go head on against any strong psychic pokemons using only psychic energy, and Venusaur was master in controlling nts and grass energy. Ralts and Grovyle had to go through some strict training under Gengar and Venusaur. After five days of training Milotic, Larvitar and Trapinch are having a 3-way mock battle, Julian is just watching them and see how they perform without any instruction, he had Infernape on his side so that nothing would go wrong. Milotic started off strong with a powerful Water Pulse since Trapinch and Larvitar were weak to water type moves they quickly dodged it, Trapinch used Dig and escaped underground, Larvitar was a little slow but he used Iron Defense, suddenly he was protected was ayer of Iron which reduced the damage of Water Pulse severely and since Larvitar had very powerful defense he was fine. Milotic went defensive and became very observant as she knew Trapinch can attack anytime, Larvitar took this chance and used Crunch, a huge dark jaw appeared in the air and came crunching down on Milotic, Milotic was very intelligent so she used Aqua Ring and surrounded her self in water and made it easy for herself to move on the rough ground, she escaped the Crunch but suddenly got caught off-guard by Trapinch, Trapinch came out of the ground right in front of her and used Bite, being so close to the attack Milotic couldn''t escape so she tried to take down Trapinch with her, she used Aqua Tail and hit Trapinch and sent him rolling on the ground, Milotic got hit by the Bite and got injured, but her Aqua Ring slowly started to heal her, Larvitar saw his chance and dashed towards Milotic using Iron Head, Milotic saw Larvitar charging towards her and once again used Aqua Tail, they shed and with a bang Milotic was sent backward and Larvitar stood his ground, mainly due to the move type and his heavyweight. Milotic got up, Trapinch also got back to his feet and all three came into a stalemate once again. Julian "Ok that''s enough, you all did great" Julian stopped them and was quite happy with the results, all of them had greatly improved and understood how to battle properly. Julian went towards them and rewarded them with their favorite snacks. Julian then looked at Grovyle and Ralts. Julian "Ok you two are up next" Grovyle and Ralts are going to have a mock battle now, Ralts was ready to evolve but she was restricting her self to evolve as she wanted to get good at controlling her psychic powers before evolving. Julian "Ok Begin" Ralts started strong by increasing her Sp. Attack using Calm Mind, Grovyle increased his speed using Agility and bolted towards Ralts using Pound. Ralts suddenly used Double Team and dodged the attack, she then used Psyshock and sent it towards Grovyle with full power, Grovyle once again used Agility and increased his speed and bolted towards Ralts using X-Scissors. Sensing the danger Ralts teleported and appeared right behind Grovyle and used Psyshock, to her surprised Grovyle turned around and attacked her using Pound, both got hit and were sent backward, Grovyle kept his ground as his physical body was strong, Ralts, however, fell on the ground but she didn''t give up and stood up suddenly her body started to glow, she started to evolve, her body became taller and she grew a pair of legs, her horn separated into two and now she had each on one side of her head. Ralts evolved into Kirlia Julian ''She finally decided to evolve, it good, evolution shouldn''t be kept suppressed for long'' Kirlia got up and used Disarming Voice, this move couldn''t be dodge at all unless a pokemon is underground or high in the sky, Grovyle got affected and got damaged. Grovyle once again used agility and increased his speed and bolted towards, Kirlia once again used Disarming Voice but this time Grovyle had a surprise, he suddenly created an Energy ball and sent it with extreme speed towards Kirlia, Kirlia couldn''t escape as the move was right in front of her. Both of them got hit, Grovyle went to his knee and Kirlia was sent rolling backward. Julian "Enough, lest stop here, you both did great" Julian patted both of them and gave them their favorite snack but before they could have it, Trapinch suddenly jumped and grabbed on to them and ran away, seeing this Grovyle and Kirlia got angry and chased after Trapinch. Julianughed seeing this, he looked at Infernape and saw he was smiling as well. Julian smiled and patted Infernape''s head. Julian "They have improved haven''t they?" Infernape nodded with a smile on his face. Julian looked at his five young pokemons who were running around the field happily.

Chapter 134 - Pupitar Julian allowed Metang to meet his other pokemons and greet and bond with them, after they got familiarized with each other, Julian walked back to the small vige, when he reached there he noticed the people were just doing their regr work as if nothing happened at all, he thought they would be startled after such a big shock. Seeing no reaction Julian sighed and walked towards Mr & Mrs. Abreo''s home to find Daisy helping out Mrs. Abreo. ?? Daisy "Julian you are finally here, that earthquake nearly scared me, Mrs. Abreo said that earthquake happened very frequently here" Julian "I am fine don''t worry" Daisy "Are we leaving?" Julian "Yes, we should leave, we should not trouble them by staying here for long" Mr. Abreo "Don''t worry young man, we can stay here as long as you want" Julian "Thank you, Mr. Abreo, but we have important things to do" Daisy "Thank you for the hospitality Mr & Mrs. Abreo, we will be leaving" Mrs. Abreo "If you wish we can''t hold you back, bute back and visit us sometimes" Daisy "We will" Julian "Once again thank you" Saying so Julian walked towards his car followed by Daisy, soon they drove off on the road that leads to Fortree City. Julian had now calmed down and started to think rationally about the things that happened in recent days. Julian had left a mark on Chloe''s body with Omniforce so he could locate her down anytime he wants, he was thinking about thest thing Chloe said to him, she said she had some unfinished business and she had to finish them. He could not think of any possibilities of how Chloe became what she is at the current moment, she left no clue or a trail. The only thing he knew was something was up in either Sootopolis city or LaRousse city, everything will take ce in these two cities and he had to be there to find out what''s happening. After traveling for a few days Julian and Daisy had set up a camp in a forest near Fortree city. Julian "We will reach the city by tomorrow" Daisy "Great, I was tired of sleeping in a tent, finally some bed" Julian "Ok I will be training my pokemons, then" Julian got up and walked towards an empty area and called out his pokemons and started to train them, his old pokemons were with Daisy as she always groomed them up, having Daisy with him on the journey had helped Julian very much, she would always help him take care of his pokemons so he can concentrate on training his new pokemons. As Julian was training his pokemons he noticed two kids who looked like he was 12-14 years old the boy was wearing a red hoodie and yellow half pants, he was also wearing a yellow cap and the girl had blue hair and wore a white jacket over a pink top and knee-length leggings. He noticed Julian training his pokemons. Jimmy "Hello my name is Jimmy and I am from New Bark town in Jhoto" Marina "Hello my name is Marina and I am also from New Bark town" Julian "Hello I am Julian" Jimmy looked at his pokemons and fascinated by them, they all looked majestic, Marina was also the same, she liked pokemons which looked beautiful and cute and when she saw Julian''s Milotic she fell in love, she was also captured by Julian''s other cute pokemons as well. Jimmy "Your pokemons look very strong, can I have a battle with you" Julian "A battle?" Julian ''Hmm I can have Larvitar battle, he is close to evolving'' Julian "Ok, how many pokemons do you want to use" Jimmy "Let battle with two pokemons" Julian "Ok then" Julian came to the side. Julian "Larvitar you are up" Larvitar went and took his ce and stared at Jimmy. Jimmy "A Larvitar huh? I choose Quva" Julian was surprised by this choice, Larvitar had many type-weakness that could be taken advantage of but Fire was not one of them. Julian "Are you sure" Julian asked Jimmy as he was smiling. Julian thought that this Jimmy resembled Ash very much. Jimmy "Don''t underestimate us, I and Quva are very strong" Julian "If you say so" Jimmy "Quva use Quick Attack" Julian "Iron Defense" Quva charged towards Larvitar with full speed but before it could hit Larvitar, Larvitar used Iron defense, suddenly his body got covered by steel energy, as Quva hit Larvitar it felt like hitting a metal pole and the bacsh went through its body sending shivers. Julian "Iron Head" Larvitar activated Iron Head and gave a headbutt to Quva sending it crashing on the ground, even though the move type was not effective it still had power behind it. Jimmy ''So strong'' Jimmy "Quva use me Wheel" Julian "Use Sand Storm" Suddenly the field got covered by sand storm and Larvitar''s ability kicked in as he blended into the sandstorm, Quva was rolling on the ground aimlessly. Jimmy "Quva stop" Quva stopped spinning and looked around, it couldn''t see anything, the Sandstorm was ring up and hurting Quva slowly. Julian "Use Rock Slide" Jimmy "Quva keep moving don''t stop" Quva used quick attack and started to move around, the rocks started to fall next to it as it kept dodging. Julian "Iron Defense" Jimmy was taken back by this call then he suddenly realized something but it was toote, Quva didn''t notice Larvitar was right in front of it, it mmed into Larvitar and felt like it crashed into an iron pole. Julian "Use Crunch" As Quva was startled and its head was spinning due to the sudden collision, it didn''t notice the two giant jaws made of dark energy mming shut on it. Quva was sent crashing out of the Sandstorm as it fell in front of Jimmypletely knocked out. Larvitar may look week but he was the most powerful pokemon in Julian''s Hoenn team, he didn''t have shy moves but with the help of Sandstorm and his ability Sand Veil he could blend in like he was not there at all. Even if a pokemon had an advantage against Larvitar, its main problem will be to find him first before attacking. Julian "I warned you before, I can see your Quva is strong but if you go against someone like me who is calctive you can''t just use with speed and weird strategies" Julian already had seen through Jimmy he was just like Ash. Jimmy "The battle is still not over, Murkrowe out" Julian "Then make a move" Jimmy "Murkrow use Air cutters" Murkrow created numerous air des and shot it down on the ongoing Sandstorm, the Sandstorm slowly faded away and Larvitar could be seen standing there. Jimmy "Now, Feint Attack" Murkrow dived down and charged at Larvitar, Feint attack couldn''t be dodged so Larvitar had to take it head-on. Julian "Iron Defense" Larvitar used Iron Defense again and stood still on his spot, Murkrow came crashing towards Larvitar and mmed into him, Larvitar stood still and braced the impact, Larvitar caught hold of Murkrow''s wings and withstood the attack. Suddenly Larvitar''s body started to glow as his hands and legs disappeared and his body started to change and grow big. Julian ''He finally evolved'' Larvitar turned into Pupitar, he was a huge white shell with eyes. Julian ''System disy Pupitar''s stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Pupitar Type - Rock/Ground Level - 31 Age - 12 months Bond - 92% HP - 170 Attack - 140 Defense - 180 Sp. Atk - 100 Sp. Def - 120 Speed - 70 Move set - Crunch, Leer, Sand Storm, Iron Defense, Substitute, Iron Head, Bulldoze, Earth Power, Rock Slide, Thrash, Dark Pulse, Earthquake, Stone Edge. Ability- Shed skin (Unlock). _____________________ Julian ''He lost his abilities and gained a tremendous increase in both attack and defense, he also learned some new moves, Dark Pulse, Earthquake, and Stone Edge'' Julian "Pupitar finish it, Stone Edge" Murkrow was startled by the sudden evolution so it didn''t move, suddenly a blue glowing rock came from underground and mmed into it, sending it flying up in the air, it crashed down on the ground and fainted. Julian "Looks like I win" Jimmy sighed. Jimmy "You are so strong, don''t you think Marina?" Jimmy turned towards Marina and saw her frozen on the spot staring at Julian. Chapter 124 - Mirage Tower When Julian returned back to the inn he found Daisy do her usual reading books about grooming and design. Daisy noticed Julian arriving and smiled ?? Daisy "Did you win?" Julian took out the Heat Badge and showed it to her. Daisy "So you won, great, I also finished preparing for my Breeder''s exam" Julian "You look confident" Daisy "Yes, after this exam I will be an official breeder and I will also get my breeder license" Daisy was very excited about this exam as her dream of being a breeder was finallying true. Julian "So where is this exam held?" Daisy "Fallorbor Town" Julian "I see, we can leave today if you want, my work is over here" Daisy wondered for a while and decided what to do. Daisy "Let''s leave tomorrow, I want to enjoy the hot springs onest time" Julian "Ok, I will be looking around the city, I have busy all these days training that I didn''t even see what this town has" Daisy "I will alsoe with you" Daisy tagged along with Julian and they looked around the town. Next day Julian woke up early and got ready to leave, Daisy also soon followed him and got ready, after bidding farewell to the Innkeeper they drove away. After they left Lavaridge town Julian decided to go through Route 11 instead of the new road which connected Lavaridge town and Fallorbor town as he heard that Route 11 had many pokemons even though it and the area beyond it are only Desert and nothing else. What he heard was indeed true he saw many pokemons even though he was riding his car, he mostly saw Sandshrew and Trapinch, it was their hunting ground and due to the environment, they thrived here. As he was riding he suddenly felt the wind speeding up. Julian "This is bad, a sandstorm might arrive" Daisy "Are you sure, from what I know this time of the month doesn''t have any sandstorm assurance in Route 11" Julian "I don''t know, even I thought there won''t be any sandstorm but to be safe we should stop here and see what happens" Daisy "Ok" Julian parked his car at the side of the sandy road and started to set up the camp, after setting it up Julian decide to look around. Julian "Daisy stay here, I will go and look around" Daisy nodded her head and went in the camp, Julian decided to leave behind one of his pokemon so that it could protect Daisy if something happens, he finally decided to leave behind Kabutops. Julian then left the camping area and entered the desert, he noticed the wind was growing stronger as time passed. He was indeed right after an hour roaming around the desert he was in the middle of a sandstorm, pokemon which thrived in these kinds of environment came out of their hind out, most of them were Sandshrew and Sansh, Trapinchs had made pits everywhere as they waited for their pray to get trapped in them, Julian avoided these pits and walked carefully around them, as he decided to head back to the camp he noticed a faint outline of a tower in front of him. Julian ''What is that? I didn''t see it there before'' Julian was surprised seeing this faint outline of a tower which just appeared out of nowhere, he approached it quickly as he thought it might disappear any moment. When he arrived near the outline he saw a tall tower made of sand. Julian ''A tower?'' Julian went near the tower and touched it, it was indeed a solid object. Julian ''Howe a solid object that too so big appear out of nowhere, is it one of those mysterious ces'' Julian started to go through all the folklore and old stories he read about Hoenn and soon he found his answer. Julian "Could this be the Mirage Tower?" Julian eximed. Legends said that a tower would mysteriously appear out of nowhere in front of people sometimes but once they enter ande out it disappears again, the folklore also specified that people always found something intriguing inside this tower but will it be useful to them or not was up to their own fate. Julian ''Why do I feel like I am getting into something or the other without any reason or context, am I being controlled?'' (Author "Hoho, wait right there Julian no breaking the fourth wall, get back to what you were doing") Julian "Hmm? What was I thinking, well it doesn''t matter, let''s check what''s inside this tower" Julian walked inside the tower to find a single huge pir supporting the whole architecture, its thickness was half the side of the tower itself, he walked around the pir and saw only sand and stones nothing else, he noticed a steep slope on one corner of the tower, he approached the slope and looked up to see an opening. Normal people couldn''t climb this sandy steep slope without the help of an external item, Julian didn''t need any, he just jumped up andnded on the second floor, he looked around and saw the same thing as he saw on the first floor, sand, and stones nothing else, there was another steep slope, this time he also noticed some movements under the ground only to realize that it is a Trapinch, he soon found out that the entire second floor is upied by Trapinchs, he once again jumped through the hole on the top and entered the third floor, this floor was again the same only sand, rocks and a bunch of Trapinch waiting to bite down on anything that falls in their pit. Julian "There are a lot of Trapinch in this desert, they must have climbed up the tower after noticing its appearance, too bad most of them get stuck in this form and never get a chance to fly" Julian''s Trapinch was lucky that he found Julian or without proper training and care, Trapinch''s would never grow and once they got mature without evolving they lost their chance to evolve any further, it was not just Trapinch, any pokemon that doesn''t evolve before turning mature will be stuck onto their from and never get to evolve, seeing so many Trapinch Julian wondered if even half of them would be given to good trainers there would be so many Flygons. Julian once again noticed an opening on the top, he jumped and found himself on the fourth floor, he looked around as saw that things were different now, there was no pir sticking out in the middle instead there is an altar made of sand. Julian climbed up the altar and noticed two stones which had a weird shape on them. Julian "Fossils!" Julian eximed as he saw the two fossils in front of him. Julian "If I am right they must be the root and w fossils" Julian got excited and picked up both at once and kept it in his pouch, suddenly the whole tower started to rumble and the next moment it came crashing down burring everything inside with it, Julian was also buried inside but he got out from the thick sand, ordinary people would have been buried alive down there, he looked around and saw that everything was fine, there was no sandstorm and the ce he was standing didn''t even look like something came crashing down here, it was as if nothing happened at all. Julian "Well that was weird but I at least found two fossils" Julian took out the two fossils and smiled looking at them, he then headed back to the campsite. What he didn''t know that Julian hadpletely destroyed the Mirage tower, he was only supposed to pick one but he picked both at the same time and caused it to copse. Chapter 136 - Hoenn Is In Trouble. Next day Julian and Daisy finally reached Fortree city, when they entered the city they saw houses built on top of trees, each and every house was connected with rope bridges which were attached to tree tops. Stores and Pokemon center were built on ground for the convenience of travelers. Julian noticed that everyone living in this city was fit as they had to climb up trees, of course, there weredders but most of them didn''t use it at all, it was mostly used by the tourist. ?? Daisy "Look all the houses are built on treetops, I wonder why they do this?" Julian "The motto of the city goes ''The Treetop City that Frolics with Nature'', I think the people of this city want to be connected with nature and its wild pokemons so they built their house on tree tops" Julian was indeed right, people living here all believe in being connected with the wildlife so they decided to build their homes on treetops, they always wee wild pokemon to their home that enters through their doors and windows. Julian had to drive carefully because he heard many Kecleon block people''s path after turning invisible, Julian drove slowly as he used him omniforce to scan the surroundings and avoid any Kecleon that was sitting in front of the roadpletely invisible. He finally stopped in front of a huge tree that housed a huge tree house, it is actually a hotel for travelers to stay. Julian got out of his car and walked towards the tree trunk, Daisy quickly followed behind him as she was excited seeing apletely different type of lifestyle, Julian started to climb the tree and reached the top, he helped Daisy to get on board on the ledge of the house, they opened the door and entered the tree house, as they entered they were greeted by a young boy who was wearing white clothes. Boy "Wee to our tree house hotel, please visit the counter to rent a room" Daisy "Thank you" Julian and Daisy walked towards the counter and saw a woman sitting at the counter as she was attending to some travelers. Daisy walked forwards to rent a room while Julian started to look around the hotel, he saw that the windows were opened, he noticed some Taillow sitting on the rail of the windows picking small fruits that were growing in the trees that were right next to the window. He noticed that Daisy has finished renting a room so he followed her upstairs, as they entered their room they saw that everything was made of wood, the bed, table, chair, walls, windows. Daisy "I kinda feel like I am one with nature" Julian "Sure" Daisy "You don''t believe me do you?" Julian "I totally believe you" Daisy "Fine, I am tired so I will be resting you can do whatever you want" Daisy seemed pissed but she soon fell asleep, seeing that he has nothing to do here, he decided to explore the city and maybe challenge the gym. He went out of his room and walked out of the treetop hotel, he looked around and saw that there was more than one rope bridge connecting to different directions. Julian ''Where should I go?'' Julian wondered as he looked left and right, he finally chose one of the rope bridge and moved forwards, he noticed that Kecleon are even on the rope bridge sitting still and making people fall on their face. Julian carefully avoided them and started to move around the city, he was impressed by the construction of the city, it may be made of wood but the construction was made in a very sophisticated way that it could even survive a real earthquake. Julian moved towards the middle of the city where all the big buildings and the gym was situated, when he reached there he saw a few familiar faces. Julian ''Wace and Norman what are they doing here?'' Julian was surprised seeing both Wace and Norman, one is the current champion of Hoenn while other is a powerful gym leader. Normally every gym leader is powerful and they have many pokemons with them, they choose their pokemon looking at their opponent''s pokemon or how many badges they had, when Julian first challenged Norman he had no badges so Norman chose his pokemon which could be defeated by rookie trainers and pokemons but it won''t be easy either. As he stood on his spot he noticed another gym leader arriving at the scene, it was Roxanne. Julian ''Something huge is happening and this is just the calm before the storm'' Julian waited there and observed what the gym leader and the champion are nning to do, soon they entered the gym and disappeared from Julian''s sight. Julian "Gengar,e out" Julian called and asked him to spy on the gym leaders. Julian "Gengar be careful and don''t get caught, also don''t cause any trouble" Gengar nodded and disappeared into the shadows, Gengar snuck into the gym while Julian waited outside, Julian could now easily see and hear what Gengar to see and hear from the connection between them. Julian noticed that there was more than one gym leader inside, he saw Roxanne, Brawly, Norman, Winona, and Juan, Wace was also inside sitting next to Juan as Juan is his Mentor. Juan "Where is that new gym leader who called for this meeting?" Winona "nnery will be arriving shortly, something serious is happening in Hoenn" Julian who is outside frowned hearing this. He suddenly noticed a girl with red hair riding an Arcanineing towards the gym. Julian ''nnery!'' nnery quickly stopped her Arcanine and sent it back to its Pokeball and went inside the gym, Julian saw nnery entering the Gengar''s sight. nnery took her seat and tried to catch some breath, all the leaders present were staring at her. Juan "Tell me, nnery, why did you ask this sudden gathering?" nnery "Something bad, very bad, Mt. Chimney died" Everyone "WHAT?" Juan "Don''t joke around, do you know how severe this is" nnery "I am not joking, Team Aqua stole a meteorite from Professor Cozmo to power up some kind of machine they built to kill the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney, I was trying to stop them but the Admin of Team Aqua interfered and stopped me, I defeated her but it was toote, they seeded in killing Mt. Chimney " Mt. Chimney is an integral part of the water cycle of the Hoenn region, as the heat emitted by it evaporates water from the sea around the region and maintain the water level under the safe zone marking. Wace "Mentor this is a serious problem if it stays like this soon the water level on Hoenn will rise and flood every city and town, and if the flooding happens the imbnce may lead to them awakening again" Juan "Those Team Aqua imbeciles did this on purpose, they want us to be distracted with keeping the safety of Hoenn and they will try to steal the orbs in Mr. Pyre" Winona "We should not worry about the orbs right now, I had assigned Tate and Liza to take care of the orbs, we should concentrate on how to activate the volcanic activities of Mt. Chimney again" nnery "Winona is right, we should first concentrate on how to bring Mt. Chimney back to life or whole Hoenn will drown and those things will awaken" Juan "What''s the estimated time for the water to start rising?" nnery "About a month from today" Juan "Hmm, ok then let''s concentrate on Mt. Chimney first, every gym leader go back to you respected cities and start to evacuate the people living there, I and Wace will visit the Devon corporation and talk with Mr. Devon and figure out how to bring back the volcanic activities" The remaining gym leaders understood and quickly left for their respective cities to start the mission. Julian who saw everything frowned. Julian ''I was too busy dealing with the shadows that these two idiotic teams caused another trouble and this time the trouble is even bigger than I expected'' Julian was thinking about what he should do. Julian ''Let the gym leaders do what they nned, I will go to Mt. Pyre and stop those idiotic team on getting their hands on the orbs'' Julian "But first, let''s get that badge" Chapter 126 - Absol Absol stepped back a little to make some distance, he instinct told him to be on the edge every single second. Grovyle made his move, he jumped up in the air and shot multiple Bullet Seeds, Absol quickly jumped away but didn''t get to stay on a single point, Grovyle kept shooting Bullet Seeds. ? ? As Absol kept jumping and avoiding the bullet seeds he noticed that Grovyle was trying to corner him, Absol found himself right next to a rock, Grovyle dashed towards the cornered Absol as his des glow red and expand making a crescent shape, Grovyle brought down a powerful Leaf de towards Absol. Seeing the power behind the uing attack, Absol took a stance and suddenly his horn glow dark and expand in size, Absol used Night sh and countered Grovyle''s Leaf de, due to Grovyle''s attack from above the ground under Absol''s feet cracked but the move was still countered, Grovyle did a backflip andnded on his feet. Absol charged towards Grovyle using Quick Attack, Grovyle jumped up avoiding the Quick Attack and attacked with Energy Ball, Absol jumped to the side and avoided the Energy Ball whichnded on the ground and destroyed it. Absol sent out a powerful Psycho Cut towards Grovyle, Grovyle countered it by using Energy Ball once again but this time he sent more that one, the first Energy Ball collided with the Psycho Cut and both got destroyed, the second Energy Ball went towards Absol with full speed but Absol dodged it, the third was one the charm, the third Energy Ball hit Absol and sent him rolling on the ground. Absol got to his feet and used Ice Beam, Grovyle took a stance and gripped the ground with his legs and used Protect, he created a shield made out of energy which stopped the Ice Beam, the Ice shards went flying everywhere. Absol then charged towards Grovyle and used Mega Horn, Grovyle also did the same charged towards Absol and used X-Scissors, they shed with each other and the sh created shock waves, then there was a st sending both of them sliding backward. Grovyle used Agility and his speed rose significantly, Absol stared at Grovyle and suddenly its red eyes glowed, an illusion eye appeared on top of Grovyle and looked at him then disappeared. Julian was surprised seeing this. Julian ''Future Sight'' He didn''t expect Absol to have Future Sight, Absols learn two moves out of the seven possibilities when they were born, the moves are Feint, Future Sight, Leer, Perish Song, Quick Attack, and Scratch. Having Future Sight from the day it was born showed that this Absol had great potential. Sensing the danger on himself Grovyle started to use agility again and again as he ran around Absol creating multiple after images, it looked like Double Team but it wasn''t it was just after images. Grovyle suddenly turned and attacked but this time Absol was ready he suddenly used Double Team and created multiple copies of himself and escaped from Grovyle''s attack. As Grovyle was still in air he noticed his surroundings changing and suddenly four portals opened out of nowhere and a powerful psychic st wasunched out of them towards Grovyle, Grovyle was fast and avoided a critical hit but he still took damage and the st sent him rolling on the ground. Seeing his opponent on the ground Absol used his secret move, he opened his mouth and used Perish Song. Julian was once again surprised seeing this, it is one this to know Future Sight by birth but to even have Perish song, this was a very rare Absol. Grovyle stood up and noticed that he didn''t have that much time, 30 seconds was his limit and he will faint after that. Grovyle suddenly started to use Agility like crazy until only five seconds were left, then he suddenly sprinted towards Absol, ripping through the sound barrier and attacking using X-Scissors, Absol just saw a blur and next, he was hit by X-Scissor, he didn''t even get a chance to counter, Absol was sent flying and crashnded inside theke, Absol fainted and could drown but Gyarados was under, he picked up Absol and brought him back to the ground. The Perish song got canceled as Absol fainted, Absol soon got up and looked around and saw Julian was the closest to him, he backed off and growled at Julian, Grovyle came forward and growled at Absol and warned him. Absol turned around and ran away, Julian looked at the direction Absol ran off to and sighed, he had the chance to catch Absol but he woke up too soon maybe it was due to the water. Julian ''Well if I encounter him again I will definitely catch him'' Julian looked at the sky and saw that it was already midnight. Julian ''I amte'' He called back his pokemons and sat on his bike and rode off, as he left Absol once again came back to the same location and looked at the direction Julian went, Absol then went back to where it came from living behind theke peace and quiet once again. Chapter 138 - Julian Vs Winona (2) Winona sent her Pelipper and Julian returned Metang back, he didn''t want to overstress Metang in his very first gym battle. Julian "Kirlia lets go" ?? Kirlia entered the battlefield and looked at her opponent. Winona "Pelipper, use Steel Wing" Pelipper dived down towards Kirlia as its wings got covered by ayer of Steel energy, Pelipper used Steel wing and attacked Kirlia. Julian "Kirlia, use Double Team" Kirlia quickly made multiple copies of herself and avoided the Steel Wing. Julian "Psyshock" Winona "Pelipper quickly dodge" As Pelipper was very close to Kirlia and its back was turned against her it couldn''t dodge and got hit by the Psyshock, as Pelipper''s defense was higher than the special defense it somehow survived the attack and quickly made its escape to the sky. Winona knew she cannotunch any physical attack at Kirlia. Winona "Pelipper, use Ice Beam, freeze the whole battlefield" Pelipper shot Ice Beam and started to freeze the battlefield. Julian "Kirlia use your psychic powers and levitate" Kirlia didn''t have the ability like Levitate but she could still easily float using her psychic powers so attacks from the ground were also useless to her. Julian knew that Winona was trying to restrict Kirlia''s movement by using Ice Beam but she didn''t expect things to turn out like this. Winona "What?" Winona was really not expecting something like this. Julian "Kirlia use Sunny Day" Kirlia raised her hand and suddenly the sun rays became brighter and hotter, the frozen Ice battlefield started to melt. Due to Sunny Day, Pelipper''s water type attack powers got reduced. Winona "Pelipper, use Rain Dance" To counter the Sunny Day, Pelipper used Rain Dance, soon it started to rain and the Sunny Day was canceled, Pelipper''s water type attack power rose. Winona "Pelipper finish this, use Hurricane" Due to Rain Dance in ce, Hurricane would hit no matter what the opposition did, Julian "Kirlia use Light Screen then protect yourself with a psychic barrier" Kirlia used Light Screen, which will reduce every special attack''s power by 50% then she created a barrier made of psychic energy and covered herself. The Hurricane came hurdling towards Kirlia, soon it surrounded her the power of the hurricane was reduced due to Light screen and Kirlia was safe inside her psychic barrier. But the hurricane wasn''t going to stop, Kirlia focused on increasing her psychic powers as she used Calm Mind and her psychic powers kept increasing, suddenly she started to glow. Julian "Looks like she decided to evolve" Kirlia was holding back her evolution to perfect her psychic energy control and now that she had reached the limit of her middle stage evolution she has no choice to evolve, soon her height started to increase and her hands became longer and slender, her white coat grew longer covering her legs, the horns on her head moved towards her chest. Kirlia evolved into Gardevoir. Julian ''System disy Gardevoir stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Gardevoir Type-Psychic/Fairy Level - 35 Age - 14 months Bond - 99% HP - 90 Attack - 90 Defense - 80 Sp. Atk - 152 Sp.

Ability- Synchronize(Unlocked), Telepathy(Unlocked). ______________________ Julian ''Great, Gardevoir evolution has brought great abilities, she really did well focusing on mastering her psychic and fairy type energy'' Julian "Gardevoir let''s finish this" Gardevoir who was inside her protective psychic barrier nodded and suddenly her eyes glowed and she sent out a psychic st with her psychic barrier which ripped through the Hurricane and Gardevoir came to their sight, she looked majestic in her new form. Julian "Gardevoir, Dazzling Gleam" Gardevoir rose up in the air and suddenly released a bright dazzling light which blinded Pelipper and a white beam was shot at it, the white beam hit Pelipper and sent it crashing on the ground. Julian "Finish this, Shock Wave" Gardevoir sent out a wide area Electric Wave which could not be dodged, Pelipper received it directly and got electrocuted, as Pelipper is 4x weak to electric attack it didn''t survive the attack and fainted. Winona "Hmph, you got lucky" Julian "Luck is also a very important factor in a pokemon battle" Winona didn''t say anything, she was just pissed on how Julian didn''t care about her status as a gym leader, he was acting as if it is a normal trainer''s battle. Winona "There are still two pokemons left don''t get ahead of yourself" Julian just smirked hearing this, seeing his smirk Winona gritted her teeth. Winona "Skarmory, I choose you" She sent out her Skarmory, it was a perfect match for Gardevoir but Julian was thinking of bringing a new yer to the battleground. Julian "Gardevoir return" Julian called back Gardevoir and threw another Pokeball up in the air. The Pokeball opened and Trapinch came out of it. Winona was surprised by this choice, she knew that Julian was not an idiot to send out a ground type pokemon to battle a flying type. Winona ''Maybe it knows rock type moves'' Winona was on edge right now Winona "Skarmory, use Swift" Skarmory shot multiple star-shaped energy des at Trapinch. Julian "Dig" Trapinch quickly dug into the ground and escaped the Swifts. Winona "Skarmory, as soon as Trapinch surfaces attack with Air sh" Julian "Trapinch y around the battlefield" The battlefield started to shake a little, suddenly a part of the battlefield started to move down, Skarmory saw this and suddenly attacked with Air sh, as the Air sh hit the ground the process became faster and suddenly a pit was created in seconds. Again another part of the battlefield was going down, Skarmory once again attacked using Air sh and another pit was created, soon Trapinch started to do the same everywhere and Skarmory kept attacking forming pits all over the battlefield. Winona frowned seeing this, not because the battlefield was aplete mess but what was Julian nning to do. She looked at Skarmory and at the pits, then she noticed something, her Skarmory was getting tired whereas Trapinch could make how much ever pits he want as it is natural to his species. Winona ''He wanted to tire our Skarmory from the start'' Winona realized it but it was toote, her Skarmory has used a lot of energy attacking the ground. Julian "Use Rock Slide" Trapinch came out of the ground, Skarmory saw this and attacked with another Air sh but it was too tired to make an urate attack, Trapinch easily dodged the attack and brought down multiple rocks on Skarmory, Skarmory couldn''t dodge the rocks and came down crashing with the rocks, as it crashed on the ground the whole battlefield got covered with dust. Seeing this Winona gritted her teeth, she didn''t know what to do and how to counter that dig, she couldn''t even switch her pokemon, she was in a really bad spot. Chapter 128 - Training Ash Julian got back to the hotel room to find Daisy making some notes while munching down some snacks which were beside her. Julian "Still preparing? I think you should take some rest" ?? Daisy turned around and smiled at Julian. Daisy "I know, I just started now, I was watching TV the whole day" Julian didn''t say anything and sat beside her. Julian "So are we going to the contest tomorrow?" Daisy "Of course, I need new inspiration, maybe they can help me in my exam" Julian "Don''t stress your self too much" Daisy "I understand" The day then went by as the two enjoyed each other''spany. The next day was big, the streets were crowded and most of the people were heading towards the building where the contest will be held, Julian and Daisy joined the crowd as they walk to the contest instead of going in a car. When they reached there they saw the entrance waspletely blocked by people trying to rush in, Julian knew this would happen so he had already reserved backdoor tickets to the VIP rooms, after getting inside the VIP room they were greeted by a worker who offered them drinks and went away, Julian and Daisy sat down and looked at the tform where the host of the contest entered, she is ady with orange hair, Julian had seen her many times in anime. The contest began and participants started toe up to the stage and perform, Daisy was concentrated as she started to scribble anything she found interesting, Julian got bored after five, six performance, he was never a contest guy, even though the performance looked beautiful it was not up to his taste. Soon the kid with green hair came in and gave a good performance, missing a perfect score by 0.8 points, after him, anotherdy named Grace came in and beat his score by 0.3 points. Next was May''s turn she also did well and scored 25.9 points, Julian just looked at these performances as he thought they were better than the rest, he also noticed that one of the team rocket idiots was also participating in the contest, it was Jessie even though she cheated Julian was impressed by her creative ideas. Julian ''Seriously why are they wasting their talent instead of being some petty thieves'' If Julian remembered correctly, these three idiots were good in everything they do except stealing pokemon, building robots they got it, making food they can do that too, fooling stupid people and making them buy the products they had a great business mind. Julian shook his head as he thought how they waste their talent like this Even though Jessie cheated in this contest she got the highest score, thepetition moved on and Drew, May, Jessie, and Grace moved on to the next round. May defeated Jessie and Grace defeated Drew, next round May defeated Grace and won her first ribbon. Julian "It''s over, let''s go" Julian got up followed by Daisy and they both walked out of the contest hall, it was still afternoon and people were still going around the hall and buying merchandises. Julian "Daisy you should go back to the hotel room, Ash is here and I promised to train him today" Daisy "Oh Ash is here as well, well then I will be going send my regards to him" Julian nodded and watched Daisy walk away, he then went back to the ce he met Ash yesterday when he reached there he saw Ash already waiting for him with Brock, May, and Max along with him. Julian "Congrattions May" May "Thank you" Julian "Ok Ash lets head to the forest, I will train you there" Saying so Julian started to walk, Ash soon sprinted behind his along with Brock, Max, and May. The forest was very big and they walked for more than two hours and still didn''t reach their destination. May was tired and was having a hard time catching up to Julian''s pace, not only May even Ash, Brock and Max were feeling a little exhausted but they could still keep up with him. May "Mr. Julian can''t we take a rest for a little while" Julian "Just a little more, we will be there in no time and walking is good for your health, it will improve your health and stamina" Julian and the gang finally arrived at thekeside, Julian chose this location as it was idle for training and he could have another encounter with that Absol again. Julian "We are here" Julian stopped and looked around the ce, he only noticed that pokemons were only under the water and a few hiding on the trees. May "Wow this ce is so beautiful" Brock "The water is very clean as well, it is great for drinking and cooking food" Ash "Julian let''s start with the training, are we going to have a mock battle" Julian "No we are going to work out for a bit, stretching your pokemon''s muscles before they move on to some heavy training" Ash "What? but that sounds boring" Max "You should listen to Mr. Julian, doing some stretching before training will prevent your Pokemon from receiving muscle damage, am I right Mr. Julian" Julian nodded and didn''t say anything. Julian "Ok bring out you pokemons, let''s see how they are" Ash "Ok, everyonee out" Ash brought out all of his pokemons, Taillow, Treecko, Corphish, and Torkoal, of course, there was Pikachu as well. Julian looked at them and noticed all of them were in good shape, well having Brock as yourpanion has helped Ash improve along with his journey. Julian "You pokemons are in good condition but theyck power and control and are little out of sync with you" Ash nodded, Max, on the other hand, started to note down everything Julian exined to Ash. Julian "I will be focusing on you and Pikachu, you other pokemons will be taken care by my pokemons" Julian thought for a second and brought out some of his Pokemons. Infernape, Grovyle, Kabutops, and Pidgeot, he chose Grovyle over Venusaur because he will have more of a connection with Treecko than Treecko with Venusaur, Infernape is going to take care of Torkoal, Kabutops will teach Corphish and Pidgeot will teach Taillow. Julian looked at Ash''s pokemons who got startled by being exposed to such powerful pressure from the three pokemons in front of them, Grovyle was still far from the others but still stronger than any of Ash''s pokemon. Julian "You guys will be put through some serious training and won''t be allowed to ck off, got it" Hearing Julian''s firm voice all of Ash pokemon straighten up and nodded. Julian "Good" Ash''s Treecko was more excited than others to prove his powers to its own kind. Julian "Start by stretching them out then move on to strength building" Julian''s pokemons nodded and started to teach Ash''s pokemon. Julian looked at Ash and Pikachu. Julian "As for you two you will be personally trained by me and one of my pokemon" Ash nodded. Ash "Let''s go Pikachu" Pikachu "Pika Pika" Julian "Good then Pikachu lets teach you how to control your electric energy, Electiviree out" Electivirees out and looks at the tiny Pikachu in front of him and grins, Pikachu could feel the huge amount of electricity radiating from Electivire. Julian "Electivire demonstrate how electricity should be controlled" Electivire nodded and extended his hands forwards, he then started to channel all the electricity in a single point by making it flow through his body and gathering at one point. Julian "The best way for Pikachu to learn to control electricity is to make his channel electricity to every part of his body and bring it back and gather it in a single point, let''s start doing this" While Julian exined the process, Electivire had created a very small ball of electricity between his hands but this small ball was heavily concentrated, it could destroy fields in second, the electric pull was so strong that the grass underneath was standing straight due to the static electricity, even electricity inside Pikachu was ring up. Julian "Ok Electivire stop, you don''t want to destroy the site do you?" Electivire stopped and absorbed the electric ball back to his body. Everyone was shocked by the power behind that small ball of electricity. Ash ''Will I ever be this strong'' Pikachu was also having the same thought. Julian "You don''t have to feel pressure, Pikachu has unlimited potential and if you keep training him properly he might one day reach the same level as Electivire here" Ash nodded and Pikachu became determined. Max "Wow so many champion level pokemons" Brock "Indeed, each and every one of them could destroy cities if let loose" May "Scary" Julian was looking at Pikachu as he tried to channel electricity, but he noticed something else as well, few were spying on them and Julian recognize each and every one. The first one was Absol, he had returned back and was shocked by seeing the power of the energy created by Electivire, it had never seen a pokemon at this level. The other three were of course team rocket, they must have somehow stumbled upon here trying to find Ash. Julian sighed seeing this. Julian ''He really is a trouble ma, troublees following him where ever he goes, but there is also good news, Absol is here and I will catch him this time for sure''. Chapter 140 - Ancient Tomb After walking out of the gym Julian went back to the tree house hotel, he knew he cannot waste time and he definitely can''t allow Team Magma to Team Aqua to get the orbs. He wanted to visit Mt. Pyre as soon as possible, he had seen how distributed the gym leaders of the Hoenn where. ?? He didn''t believe just two gym leaders can handle Team Magma and Aqua both simultaneously. When he reached the tree house hotel he saw Daisy was awake and was talking to somedy. Julian "Daisy are you busy?" Daisy "Oh Julian, actually I am, I heard that there will be a festival soon in Fortree city and there is also a Pokemon groomer''s exhibition and I am nning of attending" Julian "I see, actually I also have a very important job to do and I need to leave Fortree as soon as possible" Daisy "What? You can''te with me to the exhibition?" Julian "I am sorry but this is important" Daisy thought for a while and nodded. Daisy "Ok then be safe I will wait for you toe back" Julian "Thank you for understanding, I will be going then, and here take the car keys you may need them if anything happened" Julian threw the car keys at Daisy and she caught it. Daisy "You don''t need them?" Julian "For the time being, no" Daisy kept the car keys in her bag and nodded at Julian. Julian "Ok then, enjoy while visiting the exhibition" Daisy "You too, be safe" Julian nodded and walked away from the tree house hotel, he walked across the rope bridge and arrived at a quiet location. He needed to reach Mt. Pyre as quick as possible, of course, Pidgeot was the best option but he needed something faster and he had just the right thing up his sleeve. He put his hand inside his dimensional pouch and took out a flute, it was the eon flute given to him by Latios and Latias. He looked around to check if anyone was present nearby, seeing that no one was present around he blew the flute, as he blew the flute he didn''t hear any sounding from it but he could feel the tiny vibrations being created around the flute. He stopped blowing the flute and looked up in the sky, he then suddenly noticed a ck dot up int the sky miles awaying towards him at full speed, as the ck dot got closer he could clearly see that it was not ck but blue, Latios came rushing towards Julian breaking the sound barrier and stopped right in front of him. Julian "You came" Julian patted Latios head and smiled, Latios rubbed his head against Julian happily. Julian "I need you to take me to Mt. Pyre as soon as possible" Hearing Julian Latios nodded. Julian didn''t waste any more time and hopped onto Latios and Latios took off. Latios traveled at blinding speed, luckily Julian could easily see even after traveling at such high speed. To his surprise, he was already above route 120, if he had taken his car it would take him more than an hour to reach route 120 but it only took minutes for Latios to arrive here. With this speed, I will be at Mt. Pyre within four hours, Latios could, of course, go even faster but riding with someone on his back will make it a very shaky and unstable flight. As Latios was flying he suddenly started to slow down and finally stopped, Julian noticed this and looked around. Julian "What happened?" Latios pointed towards the ground as he showed a worried expression, seeing this Julian looked down and saw that they were right above the Ancient Tomb, people say that a legendary pokemon lives inside and it''s very dangerous to go inside alone. Julian "Is something wrong inside the Ancient Tomb?" Latios nodded his head. Julian sighed seeing this, Latios and Latias are very friendly pokemon and they don''t like to see anyone being harmed, Julian guessed that there was some kind of pokemon inside the Ancient Tomb in trouble and Latios could sense it so he stopped and asked Julian for help. Julian nodded and agreed to help, he wasn''t in a hurry right now after experiencing Latios''s speed in flight. Julian "Ok let''s go and see what is happening there" Latios dived down towards the Ancient Cave as soon as he heard Julian''s call, Latios entered the Ancient tomb through the cave which leads inside the tomb, Julian looked around and saw that the cave was recently visited by a group of people as the footprints on the ground were quite fresh. Julian knew that something is not right, so many human footprints entering an unknown Ancient Tomb only spelled one word for Julian and that is unnecessary trouble. He and Latios advance forwards and suddenly they heard a bang, Julian knew there was a fight going on, he had no choice to take out his mask and wear it. Julian "Latios let''s go" Latios flew forward and when they arrived at the spot they saw two 13-15-year-old kids fighting with some team rocket grunts, Julian recognized these two kids, they were Jimmy and Marina who he met before reaching Fortree city. Of course, the grunts noticed the unknown visitor, they saw a man wearing a red mask and ck coat standing on top of Latios looking down on them, just seeing the man they felt some kind of pressure, one of the grunts gathered up some courage to speak. Grunt "Who are you?" Julian "You don''t need to know". __________________________________ A/N- I have said this several times, and I will say it again, I want my readers not to get confused why Julian is not recognized. Yes, he was a champion but only for a few months, soon Lance took over his spot and became champion, now if you think about the champion of Kanto and Jhoto its Lance and everyone will say that. If you ask a gym leader who is the champion of Kanto they will say its Lance, not Julian. It''s been months since Julian went public (a reference to our time, its more than a year). People of other regions will think of Lance when the champion of Kanto is mentioned, not Julian so I want you to keep that in mind. And one more thing, even if the gym leaders know about Julian''s existence, they cannot simply remember a face that has not been seen for months, I am not telling Julian is forgotten, Julian is still that badass man who was undefeated in Indigo league, I am telling his face is forgotten, people tend to forget, they are not gods to remember everyone''s faces, even Julian cannot remember everyone''s faces even after his memory being enhanced, and people won''t stay on the inte to look at other people''s faces every day (Some might, I don''t judge them?). Then theree people who recognized his, let''s take Max, he is one of Julian''s die-hard fans so he remembers Julian''s face, there is his father when he saw Julian''s poster and it jogged his memory, there is Roxxena who overheard Ash and his friends which helped her remember who Julian is as well, then there is Marina, she is a die-hard fan of Lance and Lance has only lost to Julian making her not forget his face as well. Hope this clears up all your doubts. Chapter 141 - He Hasnt Given Up? Julian "You don''t need to know" Grunt "What?" ?? Julian "Latios Dragon Pulse" Latios shot a powerful Dragon Pulse at the grunts and sent them crashing on to the wall alongside their pokemon, Jimmy and Marina were in awe seeing this young man take out a bunch of grunts in one single attack. Julian "You kids get out of here it''s dangerous" Julian warn them so that they won''t get in his way, however, these kids are stubborn. Jimmy "No we areing with you mister, Team Rocket is trying to capture the legendary pokemon Registeel and I cannot allow that to happen" Marina "Jimmy is right, we also want toe with you mister" Julian ''Did he say Registeel? so this Ancient Tomb is the home of the Registeel, no wonder there were rumors that a legendary pokemon lived here'' Julian looked at Jimmy and Marina and thought they were annoying. Julian ''I hate when kids try to do something they can''t achieve, they will just get hurt in the crossfire'' Julian "Latios put them to sleep" Latios understood what Julian was trying to do so he suddenly released a psychic st which instantly put Jimmy and Marina to sleep. Julian "Ok then let''s move forward" Hearing Julian Latios flew towards a cave-like opening as he felt the call for helping from there, as they passed through the cave, they arrived in front of a huge room and it had a huge dome right in the middle of it, Julian saw members of team rocket surrounding the dome, he also saw two team rocket members on top of the dome with their pokemon attacking the Registeel which was trapped inside the. These two were mostly the leader of this group, one was a tall man with a well-built body and blond hair, he had a Skarmory on his side, while the other was a woman with blue hair and she had Steelix by her side. One of the grunts noticed Julian entrance on Latios and got startled. Grunt "You, who are you how did you get here?" Hearing the grunt speak all the other members of the team rocket turned around and looked at Julian, the leaders also saw Julian and frowned, they were also worried by seeing that this man was riding a legendary pokemon. Julian "You insignificant ants don''t need to know, release Registeel right now" The woman leader pressed a button in her hand which suddenly created an electric field across the in which Registeel was trapped and zapped it till it got paralyzed. Then she stepped forward to confront Julian. Hun "My name is Hun and that is my partner Att, we warn you not to interfere with team rocket or you don''t know the consequence of it" Julian "Ya, ya, the same old you don''t mess with speech, I have heard it several times, I heard it even from you boss Giovanni and he had to be hospitalized for that, you think I give a crap about you insignificant ants" Hun was speechless, she didn''t know what to say, not many people knew that Giovanni was the boss of team rocket, not even the leaguemittee but this man right in front of her knew about it and he didn''t even think much about it. Hun "Who are you?" Julian "As I said before, you don''t need to know, release Registeel" Hun "And what if we don''t?" Julian "I think you got it all wrong, even if you agreed to release Registeel you would still be punished for wasting my time, even if you don''t agree to release Registeel you will still be punished but it would be way harsher than you think" Att "Hey Hun stop talking and let''s take care of this freak, then we can kill Registeel and harvest its skin" Julian ''So this is what they are trying to do, they want the skin of Registeel which is said to be the strongest metal in the world, it is strong and also super flexible'' Hun "You are right, Steelix use sh Canon" Att "Let me Join in as well, Skarmory you too, sh Canon" Both Steelix and Skarmory attacked with powerful sh Canon which fused with each other to form an even bigger sh Canon. Julian "Dodge it" Latios was fast, he quickly moved away and dodged the sh Canon. Julian "Luster Purge " Latios suddenlyunched a glowing ball which released a bright light and suddenly exploded releasing powerful rays all over the ce, Luster Purge took out all the grunts of the Team Rocket in one go, it also hit both Steelix and Skarmory and sent them back, due to Luster Purge''s effect both their special defense fell down. Julian "Dragon Pulse" Latios once againunched a powerful Dragon Pulse and hit Steelix directly with it, Steelix was sent crashing into the wall and got stuck in it. Hun was shocked seeing this but she was still calm. Julian "Psychic" Latios then released a powerful psychic wave which caught on to Skarmory and rendered it motionless, then Latios mmed it to the ground several times till it fainted. Seeing both their pokemon were down Hun and Att looked at each other and nodded. Hun "Mission failed, abort mission" Hun ran toward Att and Att threw a smoke bomb on the ground to escape, as they were about to escape they suddenly felt someone holding on to their shoulders. Julian "Where do you think you are going, did you forget your punishment" Hun and Att felt scared for the first time in their life, they were alwaysposed and carefree in their mission, even if they failed their mission they would make a quick tactical retreat or escape calmly, but for the first time they were stopped and they felt fear growing inside them as they heard Julian''s voice besides their ears. They turned and looked at their shoulder to see Julian standing right between them with a smile on his face, they couldn''t see his face due to the mask but that smile also crept them out, they suddenly felt a stinging pain behind their neck and the next moment they fainted. They copsed to the ground and Julian dusted his hands. Julian "What a waste of a smoke bomb" Julian turned around and saw that the was still activated with an electric barrier, he searched around Hun and found the button to deactivate it, he pressed the button and the electric field disappeared. Registeel was quite weak right now, it was trying its best to not faint because it knew if it faints it will die, it saw Latios and was relieved, it knew Latios as Latios would always roam around Hoenn and it had sensed it many times which it was in its tomb, when it got captured it sent distress signal to get help from anything strong near the tomb and it was lucky that Latios was around at that moment. Julian approached Registeel and removed the of its body and threw it at the side, seeing that it was now free and escaped from danger, it stretched its hands and legs and bowed towards Julian and walked away inside the huge bulb inside the ground and disappeared. Julian was surprised seeing this, he just helped Registeel and it just bowed and went away without anypensation. Julian ''Well that was weird'' He then looked at the unconscious team rocket duo then at the electric. Julian "Well then let''s go" Julian said and carried both Hun and Att outside with the electric. When they arrived outside he hung them inside the on a tree and waited for them to wake up. After waiting for a while both Hun and Att woke up and found themselves caught in the, they looked at Julian and saw him holding the button to the electric. Hun "Wia-" Before Hun could even finish her sentence Julian pressed the button and the was electrified, Hun and Att both received a high voltage shock which rendered them motionless as their whole body felt numb. Julian "So tell me what is Giovanni nning this time?" Hun knew she can only answer or her life might be in danger. Hun "Boss asked Professor Sebastian to build a weapon to catch the runaway pokemon he is trying to search for months and Registeel''s body can make the perfect weapon" Julian "I see, he hasn''t given up yet" Hun "Do you know what this pokemon is?" Hun was surprised hearing Julian, she came to the conclusion that Julian knew something about this pokemon their boss was after. Julian "You don''t need to know, I will be going then" Julian turned around and pressed the button of the and throw it to the side, the was electrified again and Hun and Att were zapped again, Julian left them electrified and hanging on the tree and left on Latios''s back. Chapter 142 - Mt. Pyre (1) After leaving the Ancient Tomb, Julian was back in the sky heading towards Mt. Pyre, with Latios speed he didn''t have to worry about beingte to the scene, he even expected that he will be there before the event even takes ce. After hours of riding on Latios Julian finally saw the top of Mt. Pyre, he the ind which it was situated on was surrounded by a hugeke which connected to the ocean, the only way to reach Mt. Pyre was through the air or by riding a boat or a ferry. ?? Julian signaled Latios tond on the ind, Latios shot towards the ind andnded in a ce where no one was present. Julian got off from Latios and patted his head. Julian "Thank you for the ride, you can go now" Latios nodded and shot towards the sky and disappeared, Julian looked around the ind and saw that it was very huge and many houses were present here, it was just like a small city. Julian "Ok now that I am here, let''s see what''s going on around here" Julian entered the vige and saw that people were living their lives peacefully and children were ying and running around, it looked like the people living here were not aware of what is happening. Julian started to walk around the town to figure out some stuff and heard a group of old men talking something about Team Magma and Aqua, Julian moved closer to them and sat on a bench and hear what they are talking about. Old Man 1 "I don''t know what are those young men wearing blue and red costumes are doing?" Old Man 2 "Yes, they popped off out of nowhere and now living in this ind, the vige head talked to them and they said that they are here to benefit humankind" Old Man 3 "That soundspletely delusional to me, how can being here help humankind, our ind has nothing here" Old Man 2 "You are indeed right, I heard that the gym leaders of the Mossdeep gym are also here and they are living in the vige head house" Old Man 1 "Do you think the vige head is hiding something, something must be going on behind our back" Old Man 3 "I guess so, well we should not interfere with these foreign forces, I just hope they don''t bring trouble to our vige" Old Man 2 "Indeed, by the way, did you make the tea I gave you" Old Man 1 "Yes, it was quite fragrant" Old Man 3 "What tea?" The old menpletely forgot about their previous conversation and started to talk about tea, but Julian got what he needed to know, the members of Team Aqua and Magma are in Mt. Pyre and are definitely nning to steal the orbs. He knew that just two people cannot guard the orbs. Julian "I don''t know what the gym leaders are thinking, I think they didn''t think this through, even though Team Magma and Aqua are idiots they still have a powerful force to back it with" Julian walked around the town to do some for investigations and he saw a Magma grunt guarding the entrance of an Inn. Julian ''This must be the ce where the leaders might be hiding'' Julian knew Team Magma and Aqua had nothing to fear right now. Since other gym leaders are busy dealing with the catastrophe which will arrive in a month, they had to prepare for everything, right now Mt. Pyre was protected by only two people and they were the twins and also the gym leader of the Mossdeep gym, they had to stay near the Orbs so that Team Magma and Aqua cannot get their hands on it. This allowed them to move freely around the vige, Julian walked closer to the inn and tried to enter but he was stopped by the grunt guarding the front. Grunt "Stop right here, no one is allowed to enter the inn, go back to where you came from" Julian "I am a traveler so I need to stay at the Inn. If I can''t enter where do I stay for the day" Grunt "It doesn''t concern me where you stay, I said no one is allowed means no one is allowed" Julian "Suit yourself" Julian said and hit the Magma grunt at the side of his neck and knocked him unconscious, he grabbed the Grunt and put him against the wall and walked in, when he walked in he saw that the lower floor has no one, it was empty, he saw some grunts patrolling the area, but they were very few of them so Julian easily passed through them and walked up. He didn''t want to make a scene by destroying the inn and rming the people of the vige, as he walked up he noticed that two grunts were guarding a door. Julian ''The leader is most likely inside that room'' Julian took out a gold coin from his pouch and rolled it in front of the grunts. The two grunts who were guarding were surprised seeing a gold coin in front of them. Grunt "Hey quickly get that coin we can sell it for big money" The other Grunt stepped forward and walked behind the rolling coin while the grunt who told him to do so was watching him, Julian slowly sneaked behind the grunt and knocked him out. The Grunt who was after the coin finally picked it up and turned around to see a young man behind him smiling ear to ear. Before he could alert someone, he felt his vision go nk and copsed on the floor. Julian took the gold coin from the grunts hand and ced him at the side and walked towards the door, he ced his ear next to the door and tried to hear if anything was going on inside. ise "Hahahaha, those Team Aqua fools made our job even easier, not only they killed Mt. Chimney''s activity, but they also helped us in awakening Groudon" Tabitha "Indeed, by the killing of the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney they made sure that Groudon will awaken first due to the imbnce, and boss be there to control it so that our goal will be achieved" ise "Those muscle heads don''t even know what they did, they should go back to be pirates and nevere back Tabitha "They are muscle heads, after all, they only know how to use brute strength" ise "Where is Courtney?" Tabitha "See is on the lookout, if Team Aqua makes a move, she will inform us" ise "That''s great, can''t wait to get our hands on those orbs, tomorrow will be fun " Julian who was standing outside heard everything. Julian ''Team Aqua are really idiots, well both of them are idiots, it looks like they will try to move tomorrow, I should get them all in one fell swoop'' Julian decided to eliminate all of them in one go so he decided to wait till tomorrow. When both Magma and Aqua assemble at one ce that is when he is going to strike. Chapter 132 - Small Village Julian not in a right mood today, he thought that Chloe had forgotten him and moved away in her life but now seeing her confined by something he was a little angry about it. Daisy "Julian are you all right?" ?? Julian calmed his thought and sighed. Julian "I am fine, you don''t have to worry about it" Daisy didn''t know how to react, she knew Julian cared about Chloe and seeing someone you care in that state would leave you devastated as well. Daisy "How about we stop in the next town and take some rest, it will help you loosen up" Julian "I think you are right" Julian smiled at her and hold her hand, Daisy also smiled and calmed her thoughts as well, she also felt very bad when she saw Chloe, she didn''t even look human at that moment. After traveling for a day they finally reached a small vige on top of a mountain, there were only small stores and houses in this vige, there was no pokemon center or convenience stores, it was just a peaceful small ce. When they entered the vige they were greeted by the people happily, Julian and Daisy were surprised by this warm greeting. One old man came forwardsughing towards them. Old Man "Wee to our humble vige, we haven''t had visitors for years you are the first one" Julian and Daisy got out of the car and greeted the vigers. Julian "Hello I am Julian and this is Daisy" Daisy "Hello" Old Man "What a beautiful couple you two are" They both smiled after hearing this. As the old man weed Julian and Daisy, an old woman came forward. Old Woman "Old man are you going to keep them at the gate the whole day bring them in" Old Man "Ah, look at me being so unreliable, this old woman is my wife,e I will show you where you can stay" The Old Man and woman brought Julian and Daisy to a small home which had a small bathroom and a hall, on the way they found that these two are Mr & Mrs. Abreo and are also the head of the vige. Mr. Abreo "Even though the home is small its the best we have, I am sorry if it isn''t up to your standards" Julian "What are you saying Mr. Abreo, this is a great ce you don''t have to feel sorry for anything" Daisy "Yes, Julian is right, we really like the ce" Mrs. Abreo "You are such good children, you remind me of my children" Mr. Abreo "Ok woman lets leave them alone they must be tired after their long journey" Mr & Mrs. Abreo left leaving behind Julian and Daisy. Julian and Daisy were tired so ate their dinner and decided to sleep to reset their mind, the next morning they woke up to hear children voice in front of the home, Julian walked out and saw few kids ying around his car, some were using white chalk to draw on it, some had climbed the roof and jumped around, Julian was at first dumbfounded then he started tough seeing this. Daisy also joined him and smiled seeing these kids ying, Julian looked around and saw a few vigers doing their usual work whats more Julian noticed that everyone had a steel type pokemon with them, and some of them from Sinnoh region as well. Aron, Bronzor, Shieldon, etc. Julian was surprised by seeing these pokemon, maybe they had another typing but still, they had steel as their second typing. Mr. Abreo suddenly appeared and greeted them. Mr. Abreo "Did you sleep wellst night?" Julian "Yes we did, thank you for your hospitality" Mr. Abreo "Good, why don''t toe and have some breakfast, my wife makes delicious food" Julian "We will be happy to" Julian and Daisy joined Mr. Abreo to his house to have breakfast. Julian "Mr. Abreo why does everyone have steel type pokemon in this vige?" Mr. Abreo "Oh that, at first people of our vige believed that Dialga itself blessed this smallnd for steel type pokemons to thrive butter we found out there is a very powerful maic field underground that helps steel type pokemon grow strong, hence many steel type pokemon get attracted here, as time passed people here started to rise them in this small vige" Julian "I see" Julian nodded his head after understanding the reason for so many steel type pokemons. After having their breakfast Daisy decided to stay with Mrs. Abreo to help her around, while Julian decided to look around the mountain to see if there is anything interesting in this mountain. Julian took out his bike and rode away towards the mountain top to search for something, as he moved around the mountain he saw many caves that led inside the mountain, maybe they were built by humans or maybe by some pokemons or it could be naturally formed. Since he couldn''t ride his bike inside the caves he decides to walk so he kept his bike inside his pouch and walked in, after entering the cave he noticed that many thingse and go out of this cave every day. After going around inside the mountain''s maze and found only a strong maic field which was naturally formed and few Steel-type Pokemon but they were too weak from him to catch them if he caught them he had to concentrate on training them more and have to ignore his other pokemon. Julian always caught pokemons that were on the same level as his pokemons so he can not ignore his other pokemons. Seeing that there is nothing to be found here he decided to go but his luck was not over as he started to walk he felt a sudden quake, suddenly the wall was smashed from other side and a Metang was flung away and crashed down near Julian, he got startled by the sudden appearance of a Metang, he then heard sound of a metal grinding on rocking towards him. He turned around and saw a Steelixing towards him. Julian "Now things get interesting" Chapter 144 - Mt. Pyre (3) Julian ''System disy Electivire stats'' System ''Affirmative'' ?? _____________________ Electivire Type - Electric Level - 84 Age - 3 years 17 months Bond - 100% Hp - 600 Attack - 750 Defense - 600 Sp.

Just by the huge amount of electricity running through his veins, Electivire started to levitate as lightning sparkled around him. It looked like strings of purple lightning was holding Electivire in air. Julian came next to Electivire and looked down on Team Magma and Aqua. The people living on the ind opened their windows to look what''s happening outside and when they saw Electivire covered in purple lightning floating in the sky, they thought that god itself hase down. The Aqua grunts who were trembling noticed the man standing on the Latios, he suddenly recognized who he is, he was the same person who stopped them at the Oceanic Musume. Grunt "Its.....him" Amber "Do you know who he is?" Grunt "Admin, he was the one who stopped us in the Oceanic Musume, with a strange pokemon he defeated everyone in just one attack" Amber "That''s him?" Amber knew about the failed mission in Oceanic Musume, he heard that some mysterious man wearing a mask came and defeated all of them by just using one pokemon. Now Amber was trembling at the sight of Electivire, he had never seen this pokemon in his life. Julian "Get your hands off the orbs" Julian''s voice was dominating and hearing his Courtney let go of the orbs and backed away in fear, she didn''t know what is happening but she felt extremely scared seeing Electivire, and a man who could control such a monster was even scary, upon that he was on a legendary pokemon. Julian "Discharge, leave the gym leaders be" Electivire raised his hands as suddenly strands of purple lightning shot out everywhere and zapped all the Aqua and Magma grunts and lifted them up in the air, Tate and Liza were also scared seeing this man but they sighed in relief after seeing they were not attacked. The Admins of both Team Aqua and Magma were suffering from extreme pain, Electivire was controlling the lightning properly so that he won''t kill anyone for no reason. Julian "Tell me where are your hideouts" The Admins couldn''t handle the suffering and they were very scared so they let it all out. Amber "South to Mossdeep city, underwater" Tabitha "West of Lilycove city, on a small ind" Julian nodded, he wanted to finish this off in one go, he didn''t want to bother by these idiots again. Julian "Electivire do it" Julian gave the exact location of their hideout to Electivire by telepathy, Electivire nodded and released the Admins and grunts. He then raised his hands and started to rise high up in the air, the clouds above his were spinning andrge electricity was being collected in one stop. The cities around Mt. Pyre could see this huge lightning storm clearly. Electivire swung his arm towards the direction of Lilycove city, suddenly a huge purple lightning bolt shot from the spinning ck cloud and hit a small ind situated on the west of Lilycove city, the lightning bolt struck the ind with immense force, suddenly the ind burst into mes as metal parts flew everywhere, it indicated that the whole structure of Team Magma''s hideout was destroyed in one shot. The three Admins shivered after seeing this, luckily no one was present in the hideout, Electivire one again swung his hand towards the direction of Team Aqua''s hideout, another purple lightning bolt shot towards the south of Mossdeep city, the lightning bolt prated the water andnded on the huge underground structure which was built on the sea bed. The Lightning bolt shattered the whole hideout into rubbles, part were scattered all over the sea bed. Seeing their hideout copse, the grunts of Team Aqua also shivered. Jin looked down on these people. Julian "Both Team Aqua and Magma are no more. If I find anyone reforming the group I will personally visit them" Julian called back Electivire into his Pokeball, he then looked at the gym leaders. Julian "Keep the orbs safe" Tate and Liza didn''t say anything and just nodded their head. Julian once again looked at the members of Team Aqua and Magma. Julian "Get a job" Saying thins Julian patted Latios head and flew away disappearing into the clouds, soon the ck clouds disappeared and the sky became clear and the sun rays touched the ground again, pokemons who were scared and ran away into their hideout came out. The whole Mt. Pyre went back to how it was. Chapter 134 - Pupitar Julian allowed Metang to meet his other pokemons and greet and bond with them, after they got familiarized with each other, Julian walked back to the small vige, when he reached there he noticed the people were just doing their regr work as if nothing happened at all, he thought they would be startled after such a big shock. Seeing no reaction Julian sighed and walked towards Mr & Mrs. Abreo''s home to find Daisy helping out Mrs. Abreo. ?? Daisy "Julian you are finally here, that earthquake nearly scared me, Mrs. Abreo said that earthquake happened very frequently here" Julian "I am fine don''t worry" Daisy "Are we leaving?" Julian "Yes, we should leave, we should not trouble them by staying here for long" Mr. Abreo "Don''t worry young man, we can stay here as long as you want" Julian "Thank you, Mr. Abreo, but we have important things to do" Daisy "Thank you for the hospitality Mr & Mrs. Abreo, we will be leaving" Mrs. Abreo "If you wish we can''t hold you back, bute back and visit us sometimes" Daisy "We will" Julian "Once again thank you" Saying so Julian walked towards his car followed by Daisy, soon they drove off on the road that leads to Fortree City. Julian had now calmed down and started to think rationally about the things that happened in recent days. Julian had left a mark on Chloe''s body with Omniforce so he could locate her down anytime he wants, he was thinking about thest thing Chloe said to him, she said she had some unfinished business and she had to finish them. He could not think of any possibilities of how Chloe became what she is at the current moment, she left no clue or a trail. The only thing he knew was something was up in either Sootopolis city or LaRousse city, everything will take ce in these two cities and he had to be there to find out what''s happening. After traveling for a few days Julian and Daisy had set up a camp in a forest near Fortree city. Julian "We will reach the city by tomorrow" Daisy "Great, I was tired of sleeping in a tent, finally some bed" Julian "Ok I will be training my pokemons, then" Julian got up and walked towards an empty area and called out his pokemons and started to train them, his old pokemons were with Daisy as she always groomed them up, having Daisy with him on the journey had helped Julian very much, she would always help him take care of his pokemons so he can concentrate on training his new pokemons. As Julian was training his pokemons he noticed two kids who looked like he was 12-14 years old the boy was wearing a red hoodie and yellow half pants, he was also wearing a yellow cap and the girl had blue hair and wore a white jacket over a pink top and knee-length leggings. He noticed Julian training his pokemons. Jimmy "Hello my name is Jimmy and I am from New Bark town in Jhoto" Marina "Hello my name is Marina and I am also from New Bark town" Julian "Hello I am Julian" Jimmy looked at his pokemons and fascinated by them, they all looked majestic, Marina was also the same, she liked pokemons which looked beautiful and cute and when she saw Julian''s Milotic she fell in love, she was also captured by Julian''s other cute pokemons as well. Jimmy "Your pokemons look very strong, can I have a battle with you" Julian "A battle?" Julian ''Hmm I can have Larvitar battle, he is close to evolving'' Julian "Ok, how many pokemons do you want to use" Jimmy "Let battle with two pokemons" Julian "Ok then" Julian came to the side. Julian "Larvitar you are up" Larvitar went and took his ce and stared at Jimmy. Jimmy "A Larvitar huh? I choose Quva" Julian was surprised by this choice, Larvitar had many type-weakness that could be taken advantage of but Fire was not one of them. Julian "Are you sure" Julian asked Jimmy as he was smiling. Julian thought that this Jimmy resembled Ash very much. Jimmy "Don''t underestimate us, I and Quva are very strong" Julian "If you say so" Jimmy "Quva use Quick Attack" Julian "Iron Defense" Quva charged towards Larvitar with full speed but before it could hit Larvitar, Larvitar used Iron defense, suddenly his body got covered by steel energy, as Quva hit Larvitar it felt like hitting a metal pole and the bacsh went through its body sending shivers. Julian "Iron Head" Larvitar activated Iron Head and gave a headbutt to Quva sending it crashing on the ground, even though the move type was not effective it still had power behind it. Jimmy ''So strong'' Jimmy "Quva use me Wheel" Julian "Use Sand Storm" Suddenly the field got covered by sand storm and Larvitar''s ability kicked in as he blended into the sandstorm, Quva was rolling on the ground aimlessly. Jimmy "Quva stop" Quva stopped spinning and looked around, it couldn''t see anything, the Sandstorm was ring up and hurting Quva slowly. Julian "Use Rock Slide" Jimmy "Quva keep moving don''t stop" Quva used quick attack and started to move around, the rocks started to fall next to it as it kept dodging. Julian "Iron Defense" Jimmy was taken back by this call then he suddenly realized something but it was toote, Quva didn''t notice Larvitar was right in front of it, it mmed into Larvitar and felt like it crashed into an iron pole. Julian "Use Crunch" As Quva was startled and its head was spinning due to the sudden collision, it didn''t notice the two giant jaws made of dark energy mming shut on it. Quva was sent crashing out of the Sandstorm as it fell in front of Jimmypletely knocked out. Larvitar may look week but he was the most powerful pokemon in Julian''s Hoenn team, he didn''t have shy moves but with the help of Sandstorm and his ability Sand Veil he could blend in like he was not there at all. Even if a pokemon had an advantage against Larvitar, its main problem will be to find him first before attacking. Julian "I warned you before, I can see your Quva is strong but if you go against someone like me who is calctive you can''t just use with speed and weird strategies" Julian already had seen through Jimmy he was just like Ash. Jimmy "The battle is still not over, Murkrowe out" Julian "Then make a move" Jimmy "Murkrow use Air cutters" Murkrow created numerous air des and shot it down on the ongoing Sandstorm, the Sandstorm slowly faded away and Larvitar could be seen standing there. Jimmy "Now, Feint Attack" Murkrow dived down and charged at Larvitar, Feint attack couldn''t be dodged so Larvitar had to take it head-on. Julian "Iron Defense" Larvitar used Iron Defense again and stood still on his spot, Murkrow came crashing towards Larvitar and mmed into him, Larvitar stood still and braced the impact, Larvitar caught hold of Murkrow''s wings and withstood the attack. Suddenly Larvitar''s body started to glow as his hands and legs disappeared and his body started to change and grow big. Julian ''He finally evolved'' Larvitar turned into Pupitar, he was a huge white shell with eyes. Julian ''System disy Pupitar''s stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Pupitar Type - Rock/Ground Level - 31 Age - 12 months Bond - 92% HP - 170 Attack - 140 Defense - 180 Sp.

Julian "Looks like I win" Jimmy sighed. Jimmy "You are so strong, don''t you think Marina?" Jimmy turned towards Marina and saw her frozen on the spot staring at Julian. Chapter 146 - Press Conference? After leaving Fortree city, Julian and Daisy continued there journey towards Lilycove city, the road to Lilycove city was peaceful and they faced no hindrance during this time, Julian mostly trained his pokemon and the training was very tough, Grovyle was about to evolve but he restricted himself to further his control over his energy. After traveling for a few days they finally reached Lilycove city, Lilycove city is a very prosperous city, it has grand buildings and greenery as well. ?? The city has Hoenn''s biggest shoppingplex/Mall, an art museum, a grand contest hall and many more. As they entered the city they saw people living their usual lives, most of them were busy with their work, running around from one ce to another. Daisy "Where should we go first, how about the Mall" Julian "No, first we will get a hotel then n about sightseeing" Daisy puffed her cheeks in disappointment, Julian smiled and drove towards a hotel nearby, after renting a room they both took a bath to clean themselves up as they didn''t bath for days while traveling, there was no small vige between Fortree and Lilycove city. After everything was done, Daisy dragged Julian to the shoppingplex, Julian just went with it and decided to look around the city before leaving for Mossdeep city. They soon arrived in front of the shoppingplex and as it was said the shoppingplex was indeed huge, the front of the shoppingplex held huge billboards showing off the brand they were representing with some celebrities on it, one of the billboards and giant poster also had a picture of a very interesting character which caught Julian''s attention, the picture was of Diantha the champion of Kalos, the poster said that she will be here in Hoenn with Professor Sycamore this Monday, they are having a press meeting and travelling to different regions for the same purpose. Julian ''Why are theying to Hoenn? Its says a press meeting will be held this Monday, looks like I have to wait and see what will happen'' Julian didn''t expect Professor Sycamore and Diantha toe to Hoenn, he had some idea of their visit, but he would rather confirm it. Daisy noticed Julian looking at Diantha''s poster. Daisy "What are you doing?" Julian "Look at that the Champion of Kalos will be here" Daisy "What''s the big deal about it, aren''t you a champion as well" She said while being annoyed Julian "I am not a champion, I was a champion" Daisy just turned around and left, Julian quickly followed behind her into the mall. He spent most of the time with her as Daisy walked around from one shop to another buying stuff and eating in different types of restaurants, after finishing shopping at the mall they went back to their hotel. Daisy "I am tired, I will go to sleep" Daisy jumped on the bed and fell asleep, Julian covered her with a nket and sat down on a chair and closed his eyes to meditate, he wasn''t able to meditate for quite a few days since he was busy going around and destroying idiotic organizations. After meditating for a while, his phone suddenly started to buzz, he opened his eyes and took a look at his phone to see Professor Oak calling him. Julian "Professor Oak? Why is he calling" Julian got up and switched on theputer which was on the table and connected it to Professor Oak''sb. Oak "Ah, Julian finally, I wanted to ask you something?" Julian "What is it?" Oak "That stunt you pulled over Mt. Pyre, it was you wasn''t it?" Julian "How did you know" Oak "Well who else knows your identity except me?" Julian "Ha, yes it really is obvious, it was me" Oak "So what was that pokemon you had?" Julian "Oh, it was Electivire" Oak "Ah? Did you find a mega stone for Electivire?" Julian "Yes, well I found many of them, I found a small piece of meteorite which had them" Oak "GREAT, Where is this piece of the meteorite" Julian "Well this Piece of the meteorite is an ind and I don''t know where it is" Oak "Then how did you find it?" Julian "It''s like one of those magical forests, it disappears after an encounter" Oak "Haaa, looks like its pointless, well you still have the mega stones with you right?" Julian "I do have some of them and I don''t know which pokemon they belong to" Oak "Let''s talk about them when youe back to Kanto, by the way, there is something else" Julian "What is it?" Oak "About the Mega Evolution, it will be published this Monday in Hoenn itself" Julian "Wait? So the reason Professor Sycamore and Diantha areing to Hoenn is because of this?" Oak "Indeed, Professor Sycamore wanted to announce this in Hoenn because everything originated from Hoenn, and Diantha will be the first person to Mega Evolve her pokemon in Public so she is also tagging along" Julian "I see, the press conference here in Lilycove city is about the Mega Evolution" Oak "Are you in Lilycove city as well?" Julian "Yes" Oak "Great, then I shall tell Sycamore about you, he will be delighted to meet you, he will be very thankful as the first video clip he received about mega evolution is of your Gyarados''s" Julian "I think you shouldn''t, I don''t want to bother them with their Press conference" Oak "If you say so" Julian "Ok then, see you when I get back to Kanto" Oak "Ok then" The video call ended and Julian sighed. Julian ''Now that mega evolution is a thing the world will not be the same, I hope it changes for the greater good'' Chapter 136 - Hoenn Is In Trouble. Next day Julian and Daisy finally reached Fortree city, when they entered the city they saw houses built on top of trees, each and every house was connected with rope bridges which were attached to tree tops. Stores and Pokemon center were built on ground for the convenience of travelers. Julian noticed that everyone living in this city was fit as they had to climb up trees, of course, there weredders but most of them didn''t use it at all, it was mostly used by the tourist. ?? Daisy "Look all the houses are built on treetops, I wonder why they do this?" Julian "The motto of the city goes ''The Treetop City that Frolics with Nature'', I think the people of this city want to be connected with nature and its wild pokemons so they built their house on tree tops" Julian was indeed right, people living here all believe in being connected with the wildlife so they decided to build their homes on treetops, they always wee wild pokemon to their home that enters through their doors and windows. Julian had to drive carefully because he heard many Kecleon block people''s path after turning invisible, Julian drove slowly as he used him omniforce to scan the surroundings and avoid any Kecleon that was sitting in front of the roadpletely invisible. He finally stopped in front of a huge tree that housed a huge tree house, it is actually a hotel for travelers to stay. Julian got out of his car and walked towards the tree trunk, Daisy quickly followed behind him as she was excited seeing apletely different type of lifestyle, Julian started to climb the tree and reached the top, he helped Daisy to get on board on the ledge of the house, they opened the door and entered the tree house, as they entered they were greeted by a young boy who was wearing white clothes. Boy "Wee to our tree house hotel, please visit the counter to rent a room" Daisy "Thank you" Julian and Daisy walked towards the counter and saw a woman sitting at the counter as she was attending to some travelers. Daisy walked forwards to rent a room while Julian started to look around the hotel, he saw that the windows were opened, he noticed some Taillow sitting on the rail of the windows picking small fruits that were growing in the trees that were right next to the window. He noticed that Daisy has finished renting a room so he followed her upstairs, as they entered their room they saw that everything was made of wood, the bed, table, chair, walls, windows. Daisy "I kinda feel like I am one with nature" Julian "Sure" Daisy "You don''t believe me do you?" Julian "I totally believe you" Daisy "Fine, I am tired so I will be resting you can do whatever you want" Daisy seemed pissed but she soon fell asleep, seeing that he has nothing to do here, he decided to explore the city and maybe challenge the gym. He went out of his room and walked out of the treetop hotel, he looked around and saw that there was more than one rope bridge connecting to different directions. Julian ''Where should I go?'' Julian wondered as he looked left and right, he finally chose one of the rope bridge and moved forwards, he noticed that Kecleon are even on the rope bridge sitting still and making people fall on their face. Julian carefully avoided them and started to move around the city, he was impressed by the construction of the city, it may be made of wood but the construction was made in a very sophisticated way that it could even survive a real earthquake. Julian moved towards the middle of the city where all the big buildings and the gym was situated, when he reached there he saw a few familiar faces. Julian ''Wace and Norman what are they doing here?'' Julian was surprised seeing both Wace and Norman, one is the current champion of Hoenn while other is a powerful gym leader. Normally every gym leader is powerful and they have many pokemons with them, they choose their pokemon looking at their opponent''s pokemon or how many badges they had, when Julian first challenged Norman he had no badges so Norman chose his pokemon which could be defeated by rookie trainers and pokemons but it won''t be easy either. As he stood on his spot he noticed another gym leader arriving at the scene, it was Roxanne. Julian ''Something huge is happening and this is just the calm before the storm'' Julian waited there and observed what the gym leader and the champion are nning to do, soon they entered the gym and disappeared from Julian''s sight. Julian "Gengar,e out" Julian called and asked him to spy on the gym leaders. Julian "Gengar be careful and don''t get caught, also don''t cause any trouble" Gengar nodded and disappeared into the shadows, Gengar snuck into the gym while Julian waited outside, Julian could now easily see and hear what Gengar to see and hear from the connection between them. Julian noticed that there was more than one gym leader inside, he saw Roxanne, Brawly, Norman, Winona, and Juan, Wace was also inside sitting next to Juan as Juan is his Mentor. Juan "Where is that new gym leader who called for this meeting?" Winona "nnery will be arriving shortly, something serious is happening in Hoenn" Julian who is outside frowned hearing this. He suddenly noticed a girl with red hair riding an Arcanineing towards the gym. Julian ''nnery!'' nnery quickly stopped her Arcanine and sent it back to its Pokeball and went inside the gym, Julian saw nnery entering the Gengar''s sight. nnery took her seat and tried to catch some breath, all the leaders present were staring at her. Juan "Tell me, nnery, why did you ask this sudden gathering?" nnery "Something bad, very bad, Mt. Chimney died" Everyone "WHAT?" Juan "Don''t joke around, do you know how severe this is" nnery "I am not joking, Team Aqua stole a meteorite from Professor Cozmo to power up some kind of machine they built to kill the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney, I was trying to stop them but the Admin of Team Aqua interfered and stopped me, I defeated her but it was toote, they seeded in killing Mt. Chimney " Mt. Chimney is an integral part of the water cycle of the Hoenn region, as the heat emitted by it evaporates water from the sea around the region and maintain the water level under the safe zone marking. Wace "Mentor this is a serious problem if it stays like this soon the water level on Hoenn will rise and flood every city and town, and if the flooding happens the imbnce may lead to them awakening again" Juan "Those Team Aqua imbeciles did this on purpose, they want us to be distracted with keeping the safety of Hoenn and they will try to steal the orbs in Mr. Pyre" Winona "We should not worry about the orbs right now, I had assigned Tate and Liza to take care of the orbs, we should concentrate on how to activate the volcanic activities of Mt. Chimney again" nnery "Winona is right, we should first concentrate on how to bring Mt. Chimney back to life or whole Hoenn will drown and those things will awaken" Juan "What''s the estimated time for the water to start rising?" nnery "About a month from today" Juan "Hmm, ok then let''s concentrate on Mt. Chimney first, every gym leader go back to you respected cities and start to evacuate the people living there, I and Wace will visit the Devon corporation and talk with Mr. Devon and figure out how to bring back the volcanic activities" The remaining gym leaders understood and quickly left for their respective cities to start the mission. Julian who saw everything frowned. Julian ''I was too busy dealing with the shadows that these two idiotic teams caused another trouble and this time the trouble is even bigger than I expected'' Julian was thinking about what he should do. Julian ''Let the gym leaders do what they nned, I will go to Mt. Pyre and stop those idiotic team on getting their hands on the orbs'' Julian "But first, let''s get that badge" Chapter 148 - A New Era? As the video started to y the Charizard roared loudly and a man standing behind it lifted his hand and shed a bracelet which had a simr marble on Charizard''s neck but much smaller. The marble on the man''s wrist shined and light emitted out of it, the marble on Charizard also shined brightly and the two light fuses with each other, soon Charizard starts to glow and bes taller, the two horns on its head bes three, its wingspan besrger, its body bes a little slender, its tail, legs, and hands grow long as well. ?? Charizard mega evolve into Mega Charizard Y, the people in the mall seeing the video on the screen bes shocked and fabricated by the changes on Charizard. Sycamore smiles and stands up from his chair and steps forward. Sycamore "This is Mega Evolution" He says with a proud smile over his face, all the reporters, researchers, and trainers start to buzz about the thing they saw just now, they cannot properly process what just happened. One of the reporters get up and decides to ask the question "Professor Sycamore can you exin what is this Mega Evolution" Sycamore "Mega Evolution is Evolution beyond normal evolution, it makes the pokemon more powerful than its final form, Mega Evolution not just only change its appearance and increase its power but also it''s abilities and typing" "So you are saying a pokemon can still evolve even after reaching its final form?" Sycamore "Yes, but this change is just temporary" "How is this Evolution achieved" Sycamore "To mega evolve a pokemon beyond its final form, one must need a Mega Stone which can be seen in the Video, it is the shiny marble on Charizard''s chest, the other important thing is the Keystone which can be seen in the video, it is the one the trainer is wearing on his wrist" The reporters are aggressively writing down everything they are hearing from Professor Sycamore. "Professor Sycamore, you said Hoenn is the region that started it, can you borate on that" Sycamore "Well at first it was believed that Mega Stones and Keystones could only be found in Kalos and the first Pokemon that mega evolved was in Kalos as well, it was a Lucario." Sycamore "I dedicated my whole life to find the secret behind Mega Evolution and it led me to the Sundial in Anistar city present in Kalos, this Sundial radiates very unique energy waves simr to Mega Stones, I thought the Sundial was the reason for Mega Stone to exist in this World, but recently my research team found something very interesting, the radiation which is emitted by this Sundial was also found in Hoenn but the amount of radiation wasrger than the one in Kalos. After doing our research we finally concluded the reason behind the existence of these mysterious stones. 3000 years ago when therge meteorite hit Hoenn to create Sootopolis city, the same meteorite also brought Mega Stones and Key Stones with it, parts of the meteorite were separated from the main body and fell in different regions as well one of them being Kalos" Wace who was sitting was also shocked hearing this, he has spent his whole life in Sootopolis city but never knew about it. The people present in the mall were also shocked by hearing so many new things, they couldn''t even process it properly. The reporters were busy recording and writing down everything. Reporter "Professor Sycamore can all pokemon Mega Evolve?" Sycamore "From what I know every Pokemon can Mega Evolve if introduced to the right Mega Stones which resonate with them, some Pokemons can have multiple Mega Evolution, like Charizard here, Charizard can have two different Mega Evolutions, the one in the video is called Mega Charizard Y its a Fire/Flying type, the other Mega Evolution is called Mega Charizard X where its typing changes to Fire/Dragon" Reporter "Can we see the other Mega Evolution" Sycamore "Sure, Sophie y the other clip" Sophie nodded and yed the other Mega Evolution clip where the same process took ce and this time Charizard''s body turned ck and blue mes wereing out from the side of its mouth. People were amazed by this evolution as well. Reporter "So where can we find these Mega Stones?" Sycamore "Well it all depends on a person''s luck, Mega Stones can be found anywhere in Hoenn or any ce where the piece of Meteorite has crashed because the radiation from the meteorite has caused thend to produce a certain kind of energy which helps to create Mega Stones and Key Stones" Reporter "So can we see this Mega Evolution with our own eyes in front of us" Sycamore "Hahaha, that is why Miss Diantha is with me, Miss Diantha please it''s your turn" Saying so Sycamore steps aside to let Diantha be the center of attraction. Diantha "I am honored to be here and show you the first public documentation of Mega Evolution but before that I want to say this, It is indeed necessary for a Keystone and Mega Stone to be present for a pokemon to mega evolve but there is also another thing that is necessary, the bond between you and your pokemon, without absolute trust between you and your pokemon you cannot achieve Mega Evolution" The Reporters took her photos and started to write down what she said as well. Julian also nodded his head agreeing to Diantha about this aspect. Diantha "Now, let''s not talk too much and get to the fun part, Gardevoire out" Diantha sent out her Gardevoir, her Gardevoir was wearing a ne and it had a Mega Stone embedded on it, the people present were quick enough to point it out and it was their first time seeing a Mega Stone in real life. Diantha took a step forward and started the process. Diantha "Ready Gardevoir?" Her Gardevoir nodded and Diantha began, she shed an identical ne as Gardevoir''s which has a Key Stone in it, it started to emit light alongside Gardevoir''s Mega Stone, soon Gardevoir evolved into Mega Gardevoir, now it looked stronger and elegant than before giving off a very refreshing vibe. People were in awe seeing such a beautiful transformation, Wace who was sitting behind is also excited by this because not only will it change the era of man and pokemon kind but also gives him and Hoenn to have a fighting chance if cmity does ur. Daisy was also fascinated by this Mega Evolution and she was already drawing down inspirations she got from seeing all three of those Mega Evolutions, but she suddenly realized something and looked at Julian. Daisy "Julian, don''t you have a bunch of Mega Stones with you, one on Gyarados, Pidgeot and many of your other pokemon" Julian looked at her and smiled wearily. Julian "Yes, I have a few of them but keep quite you don''t have to speak out loudly" Luckily the ce was now filled with all kind of discussion and nobody heard Daisy talk about them. Daisy "Oops sorry" Julian "Don''t worry even if they knew, what are they going to do about it" Julian didn''t care even all the Elite Foure together and attack him he would still be about to defeat them easily. The conference went on and reporters asked many questions about Mega Evolution to Professor Sycamore and he answered them. Chapter 138 - Julian Vs Winona (2) Winona sent her Pelipper and Julian returned Metang back, he didn''t want to overstress Metang in his very first gym battle. Julian "Kirlia lets go" ?? Kirlia entered the battlefield and looked at her opponent. Winona "Pelipper, use Steel Wing" Pelipper dived down towards Kirlia as its wings got covered by ayer of Steel energy, Pelipper used Steel wing and attacked Kirlia. Julian "Kirlia, use Double Team" Kirlia quickly made multiple copies of herself and avoided the Steel Wing. Julian "Psyshock" Winona "Pelipper quickly dodge" As Pelipper was very close to Kirlia and its back was turned against her it couldn''t dodge and got hit by the Psyshock, as Pelipper''s defense was higher than the special defense it somehow survived the attack and quickly made its escape to the sky. Winona knew she cannotunch any physical attack at Kirlia. Winona "Pelipper, use Ice Beam, freeze the whole battlefield" Pelipper shot Ice Beam and started to freeze the battlefield. Julian "Kirlia use your psychic powers and levitate" Kirlia didn''t have the ability like Levitate but she could still easily float using her psychic powers so attacks from the ground were also useless to her. Julian knew that Winona was trying to restrict Kirlia''s movement by using Ice Beam but she didn''t expect things to turn out like this. Winona "What?" Winona was really not expecting something like this. Julian "Kirlia use Sunny Day" Kirlia raised her hand and suddenly the sun rays became brighter and hotter, the frozen Ice battlefield started to melt. Due to Sunny Day, Pelipper''s water type attack powers got reduced. Winona "Pelipper, use Rain Dance" To counter the Sunny Day, Pelipper used Rain Dance, soon it started to rain and the Sunny Day was canceled, Pelipper''s water type attack power rose. Winona "Pelipper finish this, use Hurricane" Due to Rain Dance in ce, Hurricane would hit no matter what the opposition did, Julian "Kirlia use Light Screen then protect yourself with a psychic barrier" Kirlia used Light Screen, which will reduce every special attack''s power by 50% then she created a barrier made of psychic energy and covered herself. The Hurricane came hurdling towards Kirlia, soon it surrounded her the power of the hurricane was reduced due to Light screen and Kirlia was safe inside her psychic barrier. But the hurricane wasn''t going to stop, Kirlia focused on increasing her psychic powers as she used Calm Mind and her psychic powers kept increasing, suddenly she started to glow. Julian "Looks like she decided to evolve" Kirlia was holding back her evolution to perfect her psychic energy control and now that she had reached the limit of her middle stage evolution she has no choice to evolve, soon her height started to increase and her hands became longer and slender, her white coat grew longer covering her legs, the horns on her head moved towards her chest. Kirlia evolved into Gardevoir. Julian ''System disy Gardevoir stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Gardevoir Type-Psychic/Fairy Level - 35 Age - 14 months Bond - 99% HP - 90 Attack - 90 Defense - 80 Sp.

Ability- Synchronize(Unlocked), Telepathy(Unlocked). ______________________ Julian ''Great, Gardevoir evolution has brought great abilities, she really did well focusing on mastering her psychic and fairy type energy'' Julian "Gardevoir let''s finish this" Gardevoir who was inside her protective psychic barrier nodded and suddenly her eyes glowed and she sent out a psychic st with her psychic barrier which ripped through the Hurricane and Gardevoir came to their sight, she looked majestic in her new form. Julian "Gardevoir, Dazzling Gleam" Gardevoir rose up in the air and suddenly released a bright dazzling light which blinded Pelipper and a white beam was shot at it, the white beam hit Pelipper and sent it crashing on the ground. Julian "Finish this, Shock Wave" Gardevoir sent out a wide area Electric Wave which could not be dodged, Pelipper received it directly and got electrocuted, as Pelipper is 4x weak to electric attack it didn''t survive the attack and fainted. Winona "Hmph, you got lucky" Julian "Luck is also a very important factor in a pokemon battle" Winona didn''t say anything, she was just pissed on how Julian didn''t care about her status as a gym leader, he was acting as if it is a normal trainer''s battle. Winona "There are still two pokemons left don''t get ahead of yourself" Julian just smirked hearing this, seeing his smirk Winona gritted her teeth. Winona "Skarmory, I choose you" She sent out her Skarmory, it was a perfect match for Gardevoir but Julian was thinking of bringing a new yer to the battleground. Julian "Gardevoir return" Julian called back Gardevoir and threw another Pokeball up in the air. The Pokeball opened and Trapinch came out of it. Winona was surprised by this choice, she knew that Julian was not an idiot to send out a ground type pokemon to battle a flying type. Winona ''Maybe it knows rock type moves'' Winona was on edge right now Winona "Skarmory, use Swift" Skarmory shot multiple star-shaped energy des at Trapinch. Julian "Dig" Trapinch quickly dug into the ground and escaped the Swifts. Winona "Skarmory, as soon as Trapinch surfaces attack with Air sh" Julian "Trapinch y around the battlefield" The battlefield started to shake a little, suddenly a part of the battlefield started to move down, Skarmory saw this and suddenly attacked with Air sh, as the Air sh hit the ground the process became faster and suddenly a pit was created in seconds. Again another part of the battlefield was going down, Skarmory once again attacked using Air sh and another pit was created, soon Trapinch started to do the same everywhere and Skarmory kept attacking forming pits all over the battlefield. Winona frowned seeing this, not because the battlefield was aplete mess but what was Julian nning to do. She looked at Skarmory and at the pits, then she noticed something, her Skarmory was getting tired whereas Trapinch could make how much ever pits he want as it is natural to his species. Winona ''He wanted to tire our Skarmory from the start'' Winona realized it but it was toote, her Skarmory has used a lot of energy attacking the ground. Julian "Use Rock Slide" Trapinch came out of the ground, Skarmory saw this and attacked with another Air sh but it was too tired to make an urate attack, Trapinch easily dodged the attack and brought down multiple rocks on Skarmory, Skarmory couldn''t dodge the rocks and came down crashing with the rocks, as it crashed on the ground the whole battlefield got covered with dust. Seeing this Winona gritted her teeth, she didn''t know what to do and how to counter that dig, she couldn''t even switch her pokemon, she was in a really bad spot. Chapter 139 - An Another Evolution? Skarmory got back to its feet and took the sky, just because Skarmory could fly and escape from Trapinch''s ground attack, Trapinch could also do the same by burring himself in the ground and escape every attack from Skarmory. Winona "Skarmory use Air Cutters" ?? Air Cutters were less energy consumption attacks and attacked with numerous small wind des. Trapinch was now just ying hide and seek with Skarmory, Skarmory has nothing to counter against Trapinch''s dig, it was just like trying to save a drowning person with the help of a twig. Seeing that Skarmory would just exhaust itself if it continues Winona made a decision. Winona "I forfeit this round, Skarmory return" It was humiliating for a gym leader to forfeit a battle but it was still a wise decision to not over exhaust your pokemon where it had no chance of winning. Julian didn''t say anything as he understood her decision, he was even pleased by the decision she made as it didn''t hurt her pokemon. Winona looked at the battlefield, she knew she needs something that can affect even when a pokemon is inside the ground and she had the perfect Pokemon for that. Winona "Go Altaria" Julian ''An Altaria, I don''t know what kind of move set it has, this might be tricky'' Winona "Altaria use Sunny Day" Altaria uses Sunny Day and suddenly the sun shines bright and the temperature rises, Altaria flew high into the sky and made it harder for Trapinch to see it due to the direct sunlight hitting his eyes. Winona "Altaria use Sr Beam" Due to Sunny Day, Altaria didn''t need to charge up so it sent a powerful Sr Beam towards Trapinch. Julian "Trapinch Dig" Trapinch in the nick of time dug under the ground and disappeared, the Sr Beam hit the ground andpletely destroyed it, it made a big hole right in the middle of the battlefield. Winona "Now Earthquake" Julian "Trapinch get out" It was toote, Altaria was fast, it dived down with full speed as its body started to glow brown and when itnded on the ground the energy got transferred and a huge Earthquake appeared. The Earthquake caused the battlefield to crack up and shake badly, Trapinch was hurt and was sent out flying from the huge hole created by Altaria before. Winona "Finish it Arial Ace" Julian "Not so fast, use Crunch" Trapinch who was in the air adjusted his head in an angle to that his head pointed towards the iing Altaria and he used Crunch. Before Altaria could even hit Trapinch it came right under the attack of a huge dark jaw that shut down on it several times and exploded sending Altaria flying back and crashing on the ground. Trapinch also crashed on the ground, but he rolled back to his feet by using the method Julian thought him when he would get stuck with his head upside down. The Damage was big and Trapinch was hurt, Trapinch struggled to keep his head up and finally stood straight, suddenly he also started to glow. Julian ''An another Evolution?'' Julian was right Trapinch is evolving. His head started to shrink and horns started to appear, his body started to grow and became longer, his legs got longer and slender and wings started to grow from his back and small ones at the end of his tail. Trapinch evolved into Vibrava. Julian ''System show Vibrava stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Vibrava Type - Ground/Dragon level - 35 Age - 14 Bond - 90% HP - 90 Attack - 130 Defense - 90 Sp. Atk - 100 Sp.

Ability - Levitate (Unlocked) ______________________ Julian ''Wow, now that is a drastic change, he lost his physical attack and it got distributed in his other stats, his speed had gone off the charts, his special attack is also great, he lost few of his moves but gained many different types of moves, three of them are Dragon-type'' Julian was astonished by these changes, he knew Trapinch will go through some major changes but he didn''t expect this much, this showed how good Trapinch''s power was before evolution. Winona was shocked by this again, a single pokemon evolving in a battle is fine, she had never seen two pokemons evolving in a single Pokemon battle. Winona ''Well it might have just worked in my favor, now it has a weakness to Dragon-Type moves'' Winona "Altaria use Dragon Pulse" Julian "Dodge" Altaria took a deep breath and shot a powerful Dragon Pulse towards Vibrava, Vibrava just hovered on the spot as he looked at the iing Dragon Pulse, suddenly Vibrava disappeared and appeared at the side of the Dragon Pulse, he dodged it with no sweat. Winona "What?" It looked at if Vibrava used teleport but he didn''t, Julian saw everything, it was just slight movement of Vibrava''s wings as he moved to the side with no effort, seeing this he was reminded of the dragonflies in his past life. Vibrava''s wings are still maturing so he can only fly for a short distance but he is still very fast. Julian "Let''s y around, Vibrava use Feint Attack" Vibrava did his simple wing ps and moved from one spot to another as if he is teleporting, Altaria ispletely confused seeing this as it can''t pinpoint where Vibrava is to attack. Suddenly Vibrava appeared behind Altaria and used Feint Attack and sent Altaria crashing to the ground. Julian "This has gone for too long, let''s finish this, Draco Meteor" Vibrava created a highly concentrated ball of energy and shot it up at the sky, as it reached its limits it separated and started to rain like Meteors on Altaria, Altaria had no ce to escape and being attacked by the continuous Meteors it fainted after struggling for a second. Winona stayed silent and called back Altaria, she had lost and as a gym leader, she has to honor the challenger. Julian jumped off the tform on to the ground, he saw Winona also jumping off the tform as she glided down with the help of the special attachments on her clothes. Winona "This is the feather badge, proof that you defeated me in a gym battle" Julian "Thank you, by the way, don''t feel bad because you lost so easily, I don''t think there is anyone in Hoenn that can defeat me" Saying so Julian walked away without looking at Winona, Winona had frozen on the spot when she heard what Julian said, then suddenly her face became red with anger. Winona "Who does he think he is? No one in Hoenn can defeat him, Hmph, he has not seen what Juan, the elite four and the champion are like, he will definitely regret being so cocky" Chapter 151 - Double Battle (2) Grovyle finally evolved into Sceptile after restricting his evolution for quite a while, he was trying to get good control over his energy before evolution just like Gardevoir. Since he had already done it, he just needed stimtion to evolve and this battle gave it to him. ?? Tate and Liza were not suspecting an evolution, it was already hard for them now Sceptile being on the battlefield was now more frustrating. Liza "Bro lets finish this quickly, it doesn''t matter even if it evolved" Tate "Let''s do this" Julian "Sceptile, Metang let''s get over with this" Liza "Lunatone use Confusion" Tate "Solrock you too use Confusion" Lunatone and Solrock start to float high in the air as their body gets covered with psychic energy, suddenly the models in the air start to shake and spin around. Julian ''What are they doing?'' Suddenly a small model rushed towards Sceptile and Metang. Julian ''That is some powerful psychic maniption'' Julian was impressed by the control of Solrock and Lunatone over their psychic energy. Julian "Metang destroy it, use Meteor Mash" Metang shoots like a jet towards the model as his body is covered by blue energy leaving a behind a blue tail line. Metang crashed into the model and shattered into pieces, but he couldn''t see his opponents. Tate "Now Sr Beam" Liza "Use Ice Beam" Lunatone and Solrock hit behind the shattered pieces of model and shot their attack towards Metang. Julian "Iron Defense" Metang activated Iron Defense after hearing Julian as his body gets covered by ayer of steel, the Ice and Sr Beam hit Metang and sends him crashing into a model. Julian "Sceptile now Magical Leaf" While Solrock and Lunatone were busy trying to take down Metang, Julian instructed Sceptile to get behind them while they are distracted through telepathy. Sceptile was constantly using Agility and boosting his speed while staying still and he has reached his limit. Sceptile easily got behind Lunatone and Solrock before Tate and Liza could even warn them andunched a powerful Magical Leaf attack, Magical Leaf can never be dodged so they took the attack head-on. They got assaulted by multiple glowing leaves which sted them into a model. Julian "Metang finish this, use Meteor Mash" Metang shook off the ice covering his body from the previous attack andunched his self towards the in which Solrock and Lunatone were stuck, his body got covered with blue energy and shot towards the''s backside while leaving a blue tail light. Metang went straight through the and hit Lunatone and Solrock from behind which they were not expecting at all, they got thrown towards Sceptile once again. Julian "Now Leaf de" Since Lunatone and Solrock were in no position to counter they went straight into Sceptile''s Leaf des, one sh for each of them and they were down. Lunatone and Solrock fainted. Rachel "Solrock and Lunatone are unable to battle, so the winner is the challenger and his Sceptile and Metang" Tate and Liza didn''t feel great because of losing but they did understand that they were overconfident and didn''t act like a gym leader at all, this was because they were always the ones to win easily against any challenger they faced. But now things are different, they got defeated by a trainer far stronger than them. Rachel went back and brought the Mind badge and gave it to Tate and Liza so that they could hand it over to Julian. Tate and Liza took the badge and looked at Julian. Liza "Thank you for reminding us how to be a proper gym leader by showing us how week we still are and we need more training" Tate "Yes, thank you" They gave the badge to Julian and he took it. Julian "You are not weak, you just need to find your own way" Saying so Julian turned around and walked away. Liza "Wait we still don''t know your name" Julian "It''s Julian, from Kanto" Saying so he walked out of the gym. Back in the gym Tate and Liza looked at each other. Tate "Wait, did he say his name is Julian from Kanto" Liza "Yes he did, but why do you ask?" Tate "Isn''t the previous champion of Kanto has the same name as well" Liza "Wait are you saying? Let me check" Liza took out her phone and quickly searched for Champions of Kanto and there they saw Julian''s face with his eight pokemons. Tate "It was really him" Liza "OH MY ARCEUS, This isn''t a joke right?" Tate "No it isn''t we just had a battle with a champion, luckily he wasn''t using any of his old pokemon" He said as he looked at the photo of Julian and eight giant pokemons with him. Liza "But what is he doing here, is he alsopeting in the league this year" Tate "I think so, as he is not a champion or a member of the elite four he is eligible to participate in the league" Liza "I think we should speak with the elites of Hoenn and tell them about him, he might be able to help us in the uing disaster" Tate "Hoenn is really in a bad situation right now, and there is also that looming treat outside the, we don''t know if it''s going to crash or not" Rachel "I hope it doesn''t we still aren''t able to track down its path as it''s still very far away" Liza "Mom, I think you are father should quickly inform the elites about it as well" Rachel "No, not right now, they are already facing a troublesome disaster, we don''t want them to get more frustrated by this as well" Tate "Liza, Mom is right we should wait until the current problem is solved" Liza "Ok" She looked at the direction Julian left and sighed. Liza ''I hope he can help us''. Chapter 141 - He Hasnt Given Up? Julian "You don''t need to know" Grunt "What?" ?? Julian "Latios Dragon Pulse" Latios shot a powerful Dragon Pulse at the grunts and sent them crashing on to the wall alongside their pokemon, Jimmy and Marina were in awe seeing this young man take out a bunch of grunts in one single attack. Julian "You kids get out of here it''s dangerous" Julian warn them so that they won''t get in his way, however, these kids are stubborn. Jimmy "No we areing with you mister, Team Rocket is trying to capture the legendary pokemon Registeel and I cannot allow that to happen" Marina "Jimmy is right, we also want toe with you mister" Julian ''Did he say Registeel? so this Ancient Tomb is the home of the Registeel, no wonder there were rumors that a legendary pokemon lived here'' Julian looked at Jimmy and Marina and thought they were annoying. Julian ''I hate when kids try to do something they can''t achieve, they will just get hurt in the crossfire'' Julian "Latios put them to sleep" Latios understood what Julian was trying to do so he suddenly released a psychic st which instantly put Jimmy and Marina to sleep. Julian "Ok then let''s move forward" Hearing Julian Latios flew towards a cave-like opening as he felt the call for helping from there, as they passed through the cave, they arrived in front of a huge room and it had a huge dome right in the middle of it, Julian saw members of team rocket surrounding the dome, he also saw two team rocket members on top of the dome with their pokemon attacking the Registeel which was trapped inside the. These two were mostly the leader of this group, one was a tall man with a well-built body and blond hair, he had a Skarmory on his side, while the other was a woman with blue hair and she had Steelix by her side. One of the grunts noticed Julian entrance on Latios and got startled. Grunt "You, who are you how did you get here?" Hearing the grunt speak all the other members of the team rocket turned around and looked at Julian, the leaders also saw Julian and frowned, they were also worried by seeing that this man was riding a legendary pokemon. Julian "You insignificant ants don''t need to know, release Registeel right now" The woman leader pressed a button in her hand which suddenly created an electric field across the in which Registeel was trapped and zapped it till it got paralyzed. Then she stepped forward to confront Julian. Hun "My name is Hun and that is my partner Att, we warn you not to interfere with team rocket or you don''t know the consequence of it" Julian "Ya, ya, the same old you don''t mess with speech, I have heard it several times, I heard it even from you boss Giovanni and he had to be hospitalized for that, you think I give a crap about you insignificant ants" Hun was speechless, she didn''t know what to say, not many people knew that Giovanni was the boss of team rocket, not even the leaguemittee but this man right in front of her knew about it and he didn''t even think much about it. Hun "Who are you?" Julian "As I said before, you don''t need to know, release Registeel" Hun "And what if we don''t?" Julian "I think you got it all wrong, even if you agreed to release Registeel you would still be punished for wasting my time, even if you don''t agree to release Registeel you will still be punished but it would be way harsher than you think" Att "Hey Hun stop talking and let''s take care of this freak, then we can kill Registeel and harvest its skin" Julian ''So this is what they are trying to do, they want the skin of Registeel which is said to be the strongest metal in the world, it is strong and also super flexible'' Hun "You are right, Steelix use sh Canon" Att "Let me Join in as well, Skarmory you too, sh Canon" Both Steelix and Skarmory attacked with powerful sh Canon which fused with each other to form an even bigger sh Canon. Julian "Dodge it" Latios was fast, he quickly moved away and dodged the sh Canon. Julian "Luster Purge " Latios suddenlyunched a glowing ball which released a bright light and suddenly exploded releasing powerful rays all over the ce, Luster Purge took out all the grunts of the Team Rocket in one go, it also hit both Steelix and Skarmory and sent them back, due to Luster Purge''s effect both their special defense fell down. Julian "Dragon Pulse" Latios once againunched a powerful Dragon Pulse and hit Steelix directly with it, Steelix was sent crashing into the wall and got stuck in it. Hun was shocked seeing this but she was still calm. Julian "Psychic" Latios then released a powerful psychic wave which caught on to Skarmory and rendered it motionless, then Latios mmed it to the ground several times till it fainted. Seeing both their pokemon were down Hun and Att looked at each other and nodded. Hun "Mission failed, abort mission" Hun ran toward Att and Att threw a smoke bomb on the ground to escape, as they were about to escape they suddenly felt someone holding on to their shoulders. Julian "Where do you think you are going, did you forget your punishment" Hun and Att felt scared for the first time in their life, they were alwaysposed and carefree in their mission, even if they failed their mission they would make a quick tactical retreat or escape calmly, but for the first time they were stopped and they felt fear growing inside them as they heard Julian''s voice besides their ears. They turned and looked at their shoulder to see Julian standing right between them with a smile on his face, they couldn''t see his face due to the mask but that smile also crept them out, they suddenly felt a stinging pain behind their neck and the next moment they fainted. They copsed to the ground and Julian dusted his hands. Julian "What a waste of a smoke bomb" Julian turned around and saw that the was still activated with an electric barrier, he searched around Hun and found the button to deactivate it, he pressed the button and the electric field disappeared. Registeel was quite weak right now, it was trying its best to not faint because it knew if it faints it will die, it saw Latios and was relieved, it knew Latios as Latios would always roam around Hoenn and it had sensed it many times which it was in its tomb, when it got captured it sent distress signal to get help from anything strong near the tomb and it was lucky that Latios was around at that moment. Julian approached Registeel and removed the of its body and threw it at the side, seeing that it was now free and escaped from danger, it stretched its hands and legs and bowed towards Julian and walked away inside the huge bulb inside the ground and disappeared. Julian was surprised seeing this, he just helped Registeel and it just bowed and went away without anypensation. Julian ''Well that was weird'' He then looked at the unconscious team rocket duo then at the electric. Julian "Well then let''s go" Julian said and carried both Hun and Att outside with the electric. When they arrived outside he hung them inside the on a tree and waited for them to wake up. After waiting for a while both Hun and Att woke up and found themselves caught in the, they looked at Julian and saw him holding the button to the electric. Hun "Wia-" Before Hun could even finish her sentence Julian pressed the button and the was electrified, Hun and Att both received a high voltage shock which rendered them motionless as their whole body felt numb. Julian "So tell me what is Giovanni nning this time?" Hun knew she can only answer or her life might be in danger. Hun "Boss asked Professor Sebastian to build a weapon to catch the runaway pokemon he is trying to search for months and Registeel''s body can make the perfect weapon" Julian "I see, he hasn''t given up yet" Hun "Do you know what this pokemon is?" Hun was surprised hearing Julian, she came to the conclusion that Julian knew something about this pokemon their boss was after. Julian "You don''t need to know, I will be going then" Julian turned around and pressed the button of the and throw it to the side, the was electrified again and Hun and Att were zapped again, Julian left them electrified and hanging on the tree and left on Latios''s back. Chapter 142 - Mt. Pyre (1) After leaving the Ancient Tomb, Julian was back in the sky heading towards Mt. Pyre, with Latios speed he didn''t have to worry about beingte to the scene, he even expected that he will be there before the event even takes ce. After hours of riding on Latios Julian finally saw the top of Mt. Pyre, he the ind which it was situated on was surrounded by a hugeke which connected to the ocean, the only way to reach Mt. Pyre was through the air or by riding a boat or a ferry. ?? Julian signaled Latios tond on the ind, Latios shot towards the ind andnded in a ce where no one was present. Julian got off from Latios and patted his head. Julian "Thank you for the ride, you can go now" Latios nodded and shot towards the sky and disappeared, Julian looked around the ind and saw that it was very huge and many houses were present here, it was just like a small city. Julian "Ok now that I am here, let''s see what''s going on around here" Julian entered the vige and saw that people were living their lives peacefully and children were ying and running around, it looked like the people living here were not aware of what is happening. Julian started to walk around the town to figure out some stuff and heard a group of old men talking something about Team Magma and Aqua, Julian moved closer to them and sat on a bench and hear what they are talking about. Old Man 1 "I don''t know what are those young men wearing blue and red costumes are doing?" Old Man 2 "Yes, they popped off out of nowhere and now living in this ind, the vige head talked to them and they said that they are here to benefit humankind" Old Man 3 "That soundspletely delusional to me, how can being here help humankind, our ind has nothing here" Old Man 2 "You are indeed right, I heard that the gym leaders of the Mossdeep gym are also here and they are living in the vige head house" Old Man 1 "Do you think the vige head is hiding something, something must be going on behind our back" Old Man 3 "I guess so, well we should not interfere with these foreign forces, I just hope they don''t bring trouble to our vige" Old Man 2 "Indeed, by the way, did you make the tea I gave you" Old Man 1 "Yes, it was quite fragrant" Old Man 3 "What tea?" The old menpletely forgot about their previous conversation and started to talk about tea, but Julian got what he needed to know, the members of Team Aqua and Magma are in Mt. Pyre and are definitely nning to steal the orbs. He knew that just two people cannot guard the orbs. Julian "I don''t know what the gym leaders are thinking, I think they didn''t think this through, even though Team Magma and Aqua are idiots they still have a powerful force to back it with" Julian walked around the town to do some for investigations and he saw a Magma grunt guarding the entrance of an Inn. Julian ''This must be the ce where the leaders might be hiding'' Julian knew Team Magma and Aqua had nothing to fear right now. Since other gym leaders are busy dealing with the catastrophe which will arrive in a month, they had to prepare for everything, right now Mt. Pyre was protected by only two people and they were the twins and also the gym leader of the Mossdeep gym, they had to stay near the Orbs so that Team Magma and Aqua cannot get their hands on it. This allowed them to move freely around the vige, Julian walked closer to the inn and tried to enter but he was stopped by the grunt guarding the front. Grunt "Stop right here, no one is allowed to enter the inn, go back to where you came from" Julian "I am a traveler so I need to stay at the Inn. If I can''t enter where do I stay for the day" Grunt "It doesn''t concern me where you stay, I said no one is allowed means no one is allowed" Julian "Suit yourself" Julian said and hit the Magma grunt at the side of his neck and knocked him unconscious, he grabbed the Grunt and put him against the wall and walked in, when he walked in he saw that the lower floor has no one, it was empty, he saw some grunts patrolling the area, but they were very few of them so Julian easily passed through them and walked up. He didn''t want to make a scene by destroying the inn and rming the people of the vige, as he walked up he noticed that two grunts were guarding a door. Julian ''The leader is most likely inside that room'' Julian took out a gold coin from his pouch and rolled it in front of the grunts. The two grunts who were guarding were surprised seeing a gold coin in front of them. Grunt "Hey quickly get that coin we can sell it for big money" The other Grunt stepped forward and walked behind the rolling coin while the grunt who told him to do so was watching him, Julian slowly sneaked behind the grunt and knocked him out. The Grunt who was after the coin finally picked it up and turned around to see a young man behind him smiling ear to ear. Before he could alert someone, he felt his vision go nk and copsed on the floor. Julian took the gold coin from the grunts hand and ced him at the side and walked towards the door, he ced his ear next to the door and tried to hear if anything was going on inside. ise "Hahahaha, those Team Aqua fools made our job even easier, not only they killed Mt. Chimney''s activity, but they also helped us in awakening Groudon" Tabitha "Indeed, by the killing of the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney they made sure that Groudon will awaken first due to the imbnce, and boss be there to control it so that our goal will be achieved" ise "Those muscle heads don''t even know what they did, they should go back to be pirates and nevere back Tabitha "They are muscle heads, after all, they only know how to use brute strength" ise "Where is Courtney?" Tabitha "See is on the lookout, if Team Aqua makes a move, she will inform us" ise "That''s great, can''t wait to get our hands on those orbs, tomorrow will be fun " Julian who was standing outside heard everything. Julian ''Team Aqua are really idiots, well both of them are idiots, it looks like they will try to move tomorrow, I should get them all in one fell swoop'' Julian decided to eliminate all of them in one go so he decided to wait till tomorrow. When both Magma and Aqua assemble at one ce that is when he is going to strike. Chapter 143 - Mt. Pyre (2) Julian walked into a room inside the inn without caring about Team Magma being here, plus he would get to know when they will leave for the orb. He entered a room and closed it from inside and went straight to the bed. ?? Outside his room, the unconscious grunts woke up and looked around to see nothing abnormal, they hadpletely forgotten what had just happened and thought they dozed off, they went back to guarding the door as if nothing happened. After some time passed and the day wasing to an end Courtney the admin of team magma arrived at the inn, Julian was still awake and had Gengar on the watch. He saw Courtney entering the inn and then walked into the room where the other admins were staying. Gengar followed behind her went inside the room, Julian could see everything and noticed that Tabitha and ise were ying a board game, they stopped when they saw Courtney entering. ise "How did it go?" Courtney "Team Aqua are also trying to make a move tomorrow but only that Bald Amber will take charge. the other admins of there are being hunted down by Drake of the elite four, we easily outnumber them, we can get hands on both orbs if things go right" Tabitha "Hahaha, everything is going exactly as Boss Maxie nned, once we get the orb we will control Groudon and creatend everywhere" ise "For Team Magma" Tabitha "For Team Magma" Courtney "For Team Magma" The Admins were ready to get hold of the orbs, but they didn''t know someone else was smiling looking at this in the same building in another room. ____________________ The night went away and the next day arrived, Team Magma made a move, they deployed all the grunts and went towards Mt. Pyre, Julian let Gengar follow them. After the inn was empty Julian also walked out of the inn and looked outside to find the ce pretty quiet, he didn''t see children ying and nobody was roaming outside, all the doors and windows were closed, it looked like a ghost town right now. Julian ''The vigers must have found out about the thing that is going to happen, well its better this way'' Julian pulled out the mask and a long coat and wore it, he took out the Eon flute and blew it, soon Latios came shooting from the sky and levitated near him, he hopped on Latios and looked towards Mt. Pyre. Julian "Let''s go" Hemanded Latios and took off to the sky, soon he arrived next to the top of Mt. Pyre and saw two people standing next to an ancient altar and the alter had two glowing orbs, one was blue and the other was red, Julian was high in the sky so these two girls didn''t notice him. These two were the gym leaders of Mossdeep city Tate and Liza and they had their pokemons alongside them Lunatone and Solrock. Julian frowned seeing this, from what he saw these pokemons were not strong enough to take on the whole Team Aqua and Magma, maybe they could take down two to three admins but will all the grunts alongside them they had no chance. Julian ''Looks like the league and the gym leaderspletely underestimated the power of Team Magma and Aqua, they don''t know how powerful the admins are and how powerful the boss of each faction is'' He waited in the sky and carefully observe what was happening down there, at first it looked like nothing is happening but he noticed people in normal clothing, he knew they were the members of Team Aqua or Magma surrounding Mt. Pyre from all sides. Soon the main characters came forward, the admin of Team Aqua Amberunched a sneak attack on Tate and Liza alongside with few Aqua grunts. Tate and Liza were expecting Team Aqua or Magma to interfere but they didn''t expect to get sneak attacked by them, their pokemon were hurt by the sneak attack but they still put on a fight, they both worked together and finally brought down most of the Aqua grunts that were alongside Amber. Amber has a Shedinja which was pretty tired right now as he faced off with Tate and Liza, he was pretty strong, his Shedinja was going head-on against both Lunatone and Solrock. Amber "What are you idiots doing go and get the orbs" Amber shouted as he ordered the grunts to get the orbs from the altar, few grunts ran towards the altar to get the orbs but suddenly they were attacked by a methrower, the Aqua grunts were sent crashing on the ground. Amber, Tate, and Liza were startled seeing this they turned around and saw the three admins of Team Magma standing opposite to them. Amber "Yoooouuuu? Team Magma don''t you dare get in our way" ise "Hahaha, Amber your Team Aqua are really stupid,ing alone to steal the orbs, you people should just go back to be a pirate that you are" Amber was really frustrated, his fellow admins and his boss were on the run as Drake of the elite four was hunting them down, he had escaped and came here to steal the orbs but now team magma interfered with his ns. Amber couldn''t fall back now, he was currently fighting with Tate and Liza, he can''t defend against the attacks of Team Magma. Tabitha "Courtney go and get the orbs" Courtney nodded and walked towards the altar with her Mightyena to take the orbs. Tate "Liza stop her I will deal with them" Tate said to his sister and attacked Amber, Liza chased after Courtney but was suddenly stopped by another me thrower. ise "Not so fast" ise stopped her from stepping forwards and started to battle her. Julian looked at this and decided it was time to make a move. Julian "Latios fly high" Latios shot even higher to the sky and reached the clouds, Julian wanted to test out a Mega Evolution and he was very excited about it, he tossed the ball up in the air and Electivire came out, as soon as Electivire came out he started to fall, seeing this Electivire was startled, he looked around and saw Julian next to him riding Latios downwards. Julian "Electivire are you ready to Mega Evolve?" Hearing this Electivire looked at his arm, the Mega ring which was attached to a metal armband. He nodded and got excited, he looked down as he was falling down at a pretty fast rate but that didn''t scare him. Julian "Let''s do this" Julian took out his Keystone out from his shirt and held it in his hands and drove his energy into it. Julian "Let''s go, Electivire Mega Evolve" Julian''s keystone shined brightly and the light emitting from it started to flow towards Electivire''s Mega Stone, the Mega Stone also started to shine and it released a purple light which started to fuse with the Keystone''s light. Electivire''s body started to glow and the light started to turn purple, his hands became bigger as his fingers turned into red sharp ws, his body grew bigger and his fur turned purple with ck strips, his tails split at the end forming into a lightning bolt shape, now he had two tails with four lightning bolt ends, his two horns disappeared and got reced with three purple color trident shape horns in front of his face, the horns on each side were shaped like lightning bolts and the one in the middle was a straight long purple horn, his whole body was covered with purple lightning. As he mega evolved the sky around Mt. Pyre started to turn ck and started to thunder, lightning cracked and came down on Electivire. Everyone on Mt. Pyre got scared seeing the sudden change in weather, they had never seen a lightning storm like this, and what was more astonishing was the lighting was purple in color with a hint of red in them. They noticed a bolt of purple lightninging straight towards Mt. Pyre, but they found it weird as it was slower than normal lightning. Courtney "What is happening?" Tabitha "I don''t know, look all our pokemons are shivering in fear, something dangerous ising down" Each and everyone on Mt. Pyre was scared right now, the locals were all inside their house so they didn''t know what was happening outside, they could only hear the lightning storm. Julian was fascinated by the drastic change Electivire received, Purple fur with ck strips, red sharp ws, a powerful andrge body, the long and sharp tail ends, nobody could guess that this is an Electivire. Electivire could feel the power running through his body, the sheer destructive power of the purple lightning was devastating. Electivire drove the lightning across his body and shot towards Mt. Pyre with full speed andnded on the ground with a huge bang. ______________________ The whole ind shook by Electivirending on it, the members of Team Aqua and Magma were scared to their core by the huge lightning bolt that hit Mt. Pyre, they could not see what was inside this purple lightning but they knew it was not something they could mess with. Chapter 144 - Mt.

Just by the huge amount of electricity running through his veins, Electivire started to levitate as lightning sparkled around him. It looked like strings of purple lightning was holding Electivire in air. Julian came next to Electivire and looked down on Team Magma and Aqua. The people living on the ind opened their windows to look what''s happening outside and when they saw Electivire covered in purple lightning floating in the sky, they thought that god itself hase down. The Aqua grunts who were trembling noticed the man standing on the Latios, he suddenly recognized who he is, he was the same person who stopped them at the Oceanic Musume. Grunt "Its.....him" Amber "Do you know who he is?" Grunt "Admin, he was the one who stopped us in the Oceanic Musume, with a strange pokemon he defeated everyone in just one attack" Amber "That''s him?" Amber knew about the failed mission in Oceanic Musume, he heard that some mysterious man wearing a mask came and defeated all of them by just using one pokemon. Now Amber was trembling at the sight of Electivire, he had never seen this pokemon in his life. Julian "Get your hands off the orbs" Julian''s voice was dominating and hearing his Courtney let go of the orbs and backed away in fear, she didn''t know what is happening but she felt extremely scared seeing Electivire, and a man who could control such a monster was even scary, upon that he was on a legendary pokemon. Julian "Discharge, leave the gym leaders be" Electivire raised his hands as suddenly strands of purple lightning shot out everywhere and zapped all the Aqua and Magma grunts and lifted them up in the air, Tate and Liza were also scared seeing this man but they sighed in relief after seeing they were not attacked. The Admins of both Team Aqua and Magma were suffering from extreme pain, Electivire was controlling the lightning properly so that he won''t kill anyone for no reason. Julian "Tell me where are your hideouts" The Admins couldn''t handle the suffering and they were very scared so they let it all out. Amber "South to Mossdeep city, underwater" Tabitha "West of Lilycove city, on a small ind" Julian nodded, he wanted to finish this off in one go, he didn''t want to bother by these idiots again. Julian "Electivire do it" Julian gave the exact location of their hideout to Electivire by telepathy, Electivire nodded and released the Admins and grunts. He then raised his hands and started to rise high up in the air, the clouds above his were spinning andrge electricity was being collected in one stop. The cities around Mt. Pyre could see this huge lightning storm clearly. Electivire swung his arm towards the direction of Lilycove city, suddenly a huge purple lightning bolt shot from the spinning ck cloud and hit a small ind situated on the west of Lilycove city, the lightning bolt struck the ind with immense force, suddenly the ind burst into mes as metal parts flew everywhere, it indicated that the whole structure of Team Magma''s hideout was destroyed in one shot. The three Admins shivered after seeing this, luckily no one was present in the hideout, Electivire one again swung his hand towards the direction of Team Aqua''s hideout, another purple lightning bolt shot towards the south of Mossdeep city, the lightning bolt prated the water andnded on the huge underground structure which was built on the sea bed. The Lightning bolt shattered the whole hideout into rubbles, part were scattered all over the sea bed. Seeing their hideout copse, the grunts of Team Aqua also shivered. Jin looked down on these people. Julian "Both Team Aqua and Magma are no more. If I find anyone reforming the group I will personally visit them" Julian called back Electivire into his Pokeball, he then looked at the gym leaders. Julian "Keep the orbs safe" Tate and Liza didn''t say anything and just nodded their head. Julian once again looked at the members of Team Aqua and Magma. Julian "Get a job" Saying thins Julian patted Latios head and flew away disappearing into the clouds, soon the ck clouds disappeared and the sky became clear and the sun rays touched the ground again, pokemons who were scared and ran away into their hideout came out. The whole Mt. Pyre went back to how it was. Chapter 145 - Hoenns Elites Meeting Julian got back to Fortree city, Latiosnded on an empty field and Julian got off from him. Julian "You may leave" ?? Julian said his goodbye to Latios and he flew away into the sky disappearingpletely. Julian ''Now that I have finished of Team Aqua and Magma the only one remaining is the Shadow Legion, their headquarter is in LaRousse city, looks like I have to get the other two badges before going there'' Julian nned when and how he will deal with Shadow Legion, he just hoped that the gym leaders are able to solve the Mt. Chimney crises, he had no way to bring a volcanic activity back to life so he had to leave this matter to the authorities of Hoenn. Julian returned to the city and saw that the festival had already begun, people were roaming around wearing colorful dresses, they even dressed their pokemon, many stalls were opened where they were selling various stuff such as food, clothes, flowers, pokemon sculptures and many more. He noticed that many people were going towards the center of the city, Julian tagged along with the people and soon he arrived in front of a big ss building. It was the ce where the Pokemon Grooming exhibition was being held, he remembered Daisy was nning to visit this exhibition. Julian decided to go inside and check if Daisy was inside, he walked in and saw many people standing in front of different pokemons who were being styled or already styled. The groomers were putting all their effort into perfectly grooming the pokemon in front of them, people visited them and asked them to groom their pokemon, of course, they had to pay money for that, people with money were able to groom their pokemon. Julian looked around the ce and finally noticed Daisy, she was standing with a group of people looking at a groomer doing his work. Julian "Daisy?" Daisy turned around and saw Julian, seeing him she became happy. Daisy "Julian, you came, that''s great" Julian then tagged along with Daisy and looked at the groomers doing their work. Julian "You didn''t participate?" Daisy "I still don''t have my license" Julian "So all the groomers here are professional?" Daisy "Yes, everyone here is professional, it is not only an exhibition but also a contest between these Groomers, the Groomer who will win the contest will get a chance to be the official groomer of the pokemon film industry. Julian "Pokemon Film Industry?" Daisy "You don''t know, all the movies are made by thispany and every pokemon starts are groomed by top-level groomers" Julian "I see" Julian never watched a Pokemon movie so he had no idea what happens on the other side of it and he was not interested in it. The sun was setting and the lights were being lighted for the night show, the exhibition came to an end so Julian and Daisy left the event hall. Daisy "Oh I totally forgot, did you see that Lightning storm this morning on Mt. Pyre, it was so scary" Julian "Ah? Yes, that Lightning storm was really something" Daisy "I thought the festival will get canceled if that Lightning storm spread but luckily it disappeared" Julian "Indeed" Daisy "But it''s so weird, such a huge Lightning storm appeared and disappeared in just a few minutes" Julian "It is indeed weird" Julian and Daisy walked towards the venue where the night show is being held, they enjoyed their time together and finally went back to the tree house hotel. The next day Julian woke up and got ready to leave for their next destination. Daisy also got ready, she didn''t want to dy any longer, they said their goodbyes to the Hotel manager and left, they got into the car and drove off. Daisy "Where are we going next?" Julian "To Lilycove city, from there we will board a ship and go to Mossdeep city" Daisy "Lilycove city? Great, the biggest mall situated in Hoenn is in Lilycove city, I can''t wait to visit it" Julian smiled wearily and continued driving. ____________________ Somewhere in Ever Grand City, five people were sitting around a round table, they were Wace and the Elite Four. They all had a serious look on their face. Wace "We had underestimated Team Aqua and Magma, the orbs could have been in their hands if things didn''t turn out the way it did" Sidney "That man who was riding Latios, I think I have seen him somewhere" Wace "Me too, I did some research and found out that he wasst seen in Kanto before the Indigo league even started, he was riding some weird red pokemon, but he was soon forgotten as he never appeared again" Drake "He was riding a Latios and he evenmanded a mysterious electric pokemon which has the power to destroy cities with one attack, we have to be on guard even if he is on our side" cia "I think we should try and find him, he wouldn''t have stopped Team Aqua and Magma if he didn''t care about people lives" Phoebe "But how do we find him, he was wearing a mask and due to all that lightning we couldn''t even get a clear picture of his mask" Wace "We should first concentrate on solving the current problem that is Mt. Chimney, Gym Leader nnery said that the water level is rising very fast, we have to somehow bring back the volcanic activity" Drake "I couldn''t find those Aqua bastards, they must have hidden somewhere, now that their base is destroyed they will soon be caught" Wace "I talked to Mr. Stone and he is working on something to stimte and eruption, if an eruption can bring back the volcanic activity we have to take this risk" cia "Houses will be burnt if this happens" Drake "If we don''t do it, the whole Hoenn will be destroyed, and there is also the chance of them awakening" Sidney "I agree with the Old man, this is the only way" cia and Phoebe stayed silent for a while before nodding. Wace "I see that everyone has agreed to this, then I will talk with Mr. Stone, Sir Drake you should continue looking for Team Aqua''s leader, Miss cia you should try to find the leader of Team Magma, I found out they were doing some research on Volcanoes in Hoenn, their research might be helpful" cia "Understood" Drake nodded his head as well. Wace "As for Sidney and Phoebe you guys try to find this Mask man, his power is necessary for the safety of Hoenn" They both nodded and soon the meeting came to an end. Chapter 146 - Press Conference? After leaving Fortree city, Julian and Daisy continued there journey towards Lilycove city, the road to Lilycove city was peaceful and they faced no hindrance during this time, Julian mostly trained his pokemon and the training was very tough, Grovyle was about to evolve but he restricted himself to further his control over his energy. After traveling for a few days they finally reached Lilycove city, Lilycove city is a very prosperous city, it has grand buildings and greenery as well. ?? The city has Hoenn''s biggest shoppingplex/Mall, an art museum, a grand contest hall and many more. As they entered the city they saw people living their usual lives, most of them were busy with their work, running around from one ce to another. Daisy "Where should we go first, how about the Mall" Julian "No, first we will get a hotel then n about sightseeing" Daisy puffed her cheeks in disappointment, Julian smiled and drove towards a hotel nearby, after renting a room they both took a bath to clean themselves up as they didn''t bath for days while traveling, there was no small vige between Fortree and Lilycove city. After everything was done, Daisy dragged Julian to the shoppingplex, Julian just went with it and decided to look around the city before leaving for Mossdeep city. They soon arrived in front of the shoppingplex and as it was said the shoppingplex was indeed huge, the front of the shoppingplex held huge billboards showing off the brand they were representing with some celebrities on it, one of the billboards and giant poster also had a picture of a very interesting character which caught Julian''s attention, the picture was of Diantha the champion of Kalos, the poster said that she will be here in Hoenn with Professor Sycamore this Monday, they are having a press meeting and travelling to different regions for the same purpose. Julian ''Why are theying to Hoenn? Its says a press meeting will be held this Monday, looks like I have to wait and see what will happen'' Julian didn''t expect Professor Sycamore and Diantha toe to Hoenn, he had some idea of their visit, but he would rather confirm it. Daisy noticed Julian looking at Diantha''s poster. Daisy "What are you doing?" Julian "Look at that the Champion of Kalos will be here" Daisy "What''s the big deal about it, aren''t you a champion as well" She said while being annoyed Julian "I am not a champion, I was a champion" Daisy just turned around and left, Julian quickly followed behind her into the mall. He spent most of the time with her as Daisy walked around from one shop to another buying stuff and eating in different types of restaurants, after finishing shopping at the mall they went back to their hotel. Daisy "I am tired, I will go to sleep" Daisy jumped on the bed and fell asleep, Julian covered her with a nket and sat down on a chair and closed his eyes to meditate, he wasn''t able to meditate for quite a few days since he was busy going around and destroying idiotic organizations. After meditating for a while, his phone suddenly started to buzz, he opened his eyes and took a look at his phone to see Professor Oak calling him. Julian "Professor Oak? Why is he calling" Julian got up and switched on theputer which was on the table and connected it to Professor Oak''sb. Oak "Ah, Julian finally, I wanted to ask you something?" Julian "What is it?" Oak "That stunt you pulled over Mt. Pyre, it was you wasn''t it?" Julian "How did you know" Oak "Well who else knows your identity except me?" Julian "Ha, yes it really is obvious, it was me" Oak "So what was that pokemon you had?" Julian "Oh, it was Electivire" Oak "Ah? Did you find a mega stone for Electivire?" Julian "Yes, well I found many of them, I found a small piece of meteorite which had them" Oak "GREAT, Where is this piece of the meteorite" Julian "Well this Piece of the meteorite is an ind and I don''t know where it is" Oak "Then how did you find it?" Julian "It''s like one of those magical forests, it disappears after an encounter" Oak "Haaa, looks like its pointless, well you still have the mega stones with you right?" Julian "I do have some of them and I don''t know which pokemon they belong to" Oak "Let''s talk about them when youe back to Kanto, by the way, there is something else" Julian "What is it?" Oak "About the Mega Evolution, it will be published this Monday in Hoenn itself" Julian "Wait? So the reason Professor Sycamore and Diantha areing to Hoenn is because of this?" Oak "Indeed, Professor Sycamore wanted to announce this in Hoenn because everything originated from Hoenn, and Diantha will be the first person to Mega Evolve her pokemon in Public so she is also tagging along" Julian "I see, the press conference here in Lilycove city is about the Mega Evolution" Oak "Are you in Lilycove city as well?" Julian "Yes" Oak "Great, then I shall tell Sycamore about you, he will be delighted to meet you, he will be very thankful as the first video clip he received about mega evolution is of your Gyarados''s" Julian "I think you shouldn''t, I don''t want to bother them with their Press conference" Oak "If you say so" Julian "Ok then, see you when I get back to Kanto" Oak "Ok then" The video call ended and Julian sighed. Julian ''Now that mega evolution is a thing the world will not be the same, I hope it changes for the greater good'' Chapter 147 - The Conference Begins Julian stayed behind at Lilycove city as he wanted to attend the press conference. But right now he is watching the TV with a weary smile on his face. He is currently watching a news channel which should him on Latios and his Mega Electivire beside him, the News Anchor was excitedly talking about him, Daisy was beside him eating her snack and looking at the TV screen. ?? Anchor "As you see, the lightning storm which appeared over Mt. Pyre was caused by this mysterious pokemon and it was under a mysterious trainer who was riding a legendary pokemon Latios, we have some clue who this person might be" Julian didn''t think that someone would take a video of him in Mt. Pyre, unlucky for him a movie-making crew had visited Mt. Pyre to make a documentary, and when the lightning storm came by they started to record it with their camera, luckily due to the overwhelming lightning he was blurred in those videos. Anchor "Even though the video is blurred we can still make out the person is wearing a ck coat and red mask, this person might be the same one who appeared in Kanto several months ago, where he was seen riding a giant red unknown pokemon, this person is definitely the legendary trainer who was talked all over the world when he made his first appearance" Daisy "Yes, I also remember seeing this person in the news in Kanto, you were also there right?" Julian "Yes I was also there with you and Professor Oak" Daisy "Who could this person be? He has pokemon that have never been seen before and all of them are so powerful" Julian "Who knows, Its good that he isn''t someone who goes around destroying stuff" Daisy "Can you defeat this man?" Daisy asked Julian with her eyes shining, she knows Julian''s pokemon are on a whole another level than any champion''s, she knew Julian''s every pokemon were monster amongst monsters and each and everyone were capable of destroying cities. Julian smiled wearily as he didn''t know what to say. Julian "I think I can" Julian just said so to calm Daisy down, he then looked back at the TV. Anchor "This legendary Trainer used his pokemons and stopped the Evil organizations Team Aqua and Team Magma from destroying Hoenn, he destroyed their bases with just a single attack from his unknown pokemon, one base was at the west of Lilycove city on a small ind and the other was south of Mossdeep city under water" Julian was surprised by how much the media knew, he always thought that Media was a scary existence and seeing this he was proven correct, even after the effort put by the elites of Hoenn to suppress the incident the Media was still able to uncover it. Julian ''Media is really scary'' Soon the broadcast ended and he switched off the TV. Daisy "Wait I want to see some more" Julian "Ok then, I will be going out for a stroll" He passed the remote to her and walked out of the room and went out to take a stroll. He noticed that many news channel''s vehicles were entering the city because of the big press conference being held at the Malling Monday. Julian found nothing else interesting and was about to go back to his hotel room when he heard a hugemotion near the city gate. He decided to take a look and noticed a vaning through and people were standing left and right of the road whereas the reporters are busy taking pictures. Julian ''So they have finally arrived'' Julian saw Diantha''s picture on Van''s cover. Julian went back as the scene calmed down, people also went back to their home, the reporters also went back to their own ce for the night. ___________________ When Monday arrived the people living in Lilycove city were very excited, even though they didn''t know much about the champion of Kalos but the thought of a champion of a region visiting their city excited them. Julian got a message from Professor Oak that even Wace will be present at the conference to wee Diantha and Sycamore. Professor Oak also told that Wace has some idea about the press conference but still doesn''t know about Mega Evolution as the league has hidden it even from the champions, the league decided to go public for everyone at the same time. Julian got ready to visit the press conference, Daisy decided to tag along to the press conference. When they arrived at the mall they saw the mall was crowded with people, most of them were Diantha''s fans as she is also a huge actress in the film industry. The rest of them were researchers and reporters and a few pokemon trainers. Julian had booked seats for the conference as he knew that its gonna be crowded and he didn''t want to stand amongst the crowds, after showing the passes they were escorted towards the seating area. The mall was decorated with colors and there was a tform in the middle of the mall with chairs and a long table with mics ced on it. There was a huge screen behind the tform which was ying one of Diantha''s movie. The press conference was about to start, the movie ying on the screen got stopped and a middle-aged man wearing a red suit walked up to the tform with a mic in his hand. He took a breath and started to speak. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Trainers and Reporters, Fans and Researchers I wee all of you to today''s press conference, this press conference is arranged by the League itself and this press conference will be a start to a new era" As the man said this the photos were started to be taken, white lights shed everywhere and reporters started to ask question non-stop. "Calm down everyone, even I don''t know what the press conference is about, it will be revealed by our two very important guests, but first let''s wee our champion, Wace" Wace walked up to the tform and took a seat, the pictures were started to be taken and questions were started toe continuously towards Wace Wace "Calm down everyone, even I don''t know about today''s matter, the League has been very secretive about it, now they have decided to go public so let''s hope its something good, then please let''s wee our important guest Professor Sycamore and Lady Diantha" Wace introduced them, soon Sycamore and Diantha then walked up towards the tform and were greeted by Wace with a bouquet, he handed it over to Diantha and Sycamore. The pictures were again taken and the reporters were aggressively asking questions but both Sycamore and Diantha stayed silent and took their seat. Seeing this Julian shook his head. Julian "This is why I don''t want to be a champion" Daisy "I think I understand now" Daisy also smiled wearily seeing how aggressive the reporters where. Sycamore and Diantha stayed silent until the reporters quieted down and took their seats. Sycamore "Thank you, everyone, who hase to this conference. this conference will be the beginning of a brand new era for both man and pokemon kind" Hearing this the reporters started to buzz again and one of them stood up to ask a question. "Professor Sycamore what is it that will change the era of both humans and pokemon, but first I want to ask you why did you and Miss Dianthae to Hoenn to announce this instead of Kalos?" Sycamore "Because everything started to Hoenn" "I don''t understand" The reporter said as he had no idea what Sycamore was talking about. Sycamore "You will know soon" Sycamore looked at his assistant and nodded at her. Sycamore "Sophie you may y the clip" Sycamore told his assistant Sophie to y the clip and so Sophie walked towards the huge screen and inserted the memory drive in her hand into the port of the screen. And the video present inside it started to y, the Video has a Charizard in it and it has a metal te around its neck with a shiny marble in it. Chapter 148 - A New Era? As the video started to y the Charizard roared loudly and a man standing behind it lifted his hand and shed a bracelet which had a simr marble on Charizard''s neck but much smaller. The marble on the man''s wrist shined and light emitted out of it, the marble on Charizard also shined brightly and the two light fuses with each other, soon Charizard starts to glow and bes taller, the two horns on its head bes three, its wingspan besrger, its body bes a little slender, its tail, legs, and hands grow long as well. ?? Charizard mega evolve into Mega Charizard Y, the people in the mall seeing the video on the screen bes shocked and fabricated by the changes on Charizard. Sycamore smiles and stands up from his chair and steps forward. Sycamore "This is Mega Evolution" He says with a proud smile over his face, all the reporters, researchers, and trainers start to buzz about the thing they saw just now, they cannot properly process what just happened. One of the reporters get up and decides to ask the question "Professor Sycamore can you exin what is this Mega Evolution" Sycamore "Mega Evolution is Evolution beyond normal evolution, it makes the pokemon more powerful than its final form, Mega Evolution not just only change its appearance and increase its power but also it''s abilities and typing" "So you are saying a pokemon can still evolve even after reaching its final form?" Sycamore "Yes, but this change is just temporary" "How is this Evolution achieved" Sycamore "To mega evolve a pokemon beyond its final form, one must need a Mega Stone which can be seen in the Video, it is the shiny marble on Charizard''s chest, the other important thing is the Keystone which can be seen in the video, it is the one the trainer is wearing on his wrist" The reporters are aggressively writing down everything they are hearing from Professor Sycamore. "Professor Sycamore, you said Hoenn is the region that started it, can you borate on that" Sycamore "Well at first it was believed that Mega Stones and Keystones could only be found in Kalos and the first Pokemon that mega evolved was in Kalos as well, it was a Lucario." Sycamore "I dedicated my whole life to find the secret behind Mega Evolution and it led me to the Sundial in Anistar city present in Kalos, this Sundial radiates very unique energy waves simr to Mega Stones, I thought the Sundial was the reason for Mega Stone to exist in this World, but recently my research team found something very interesting, the radiation which is emitted by this Sundial was also found in Hoenn but the amount of radiation wasrger than the one in Kalos. After doing our research we finally concluded the reason behind the existence of these mysterious stones. 3000 years ago when therge meteorite hit Hoenn to create Sootopolis city, the same meteorite also brought Mega Stones and Key Stones with it, parts of the meteorite were separated from the main body and fell in different regions as well one of them being Kalos" Wace who was sitting was also shocked hearing this, he has spent his whole life in Sootopolis city but never knew about it. The people present in the mall were also shocked by hearing so many new things, they couldn''t even process it properly. The reporters were busy recording and writing down everything. Reporter "Professor Sycamore can all pokemon Mega Evolve?" Sycamore "From what I know every Pokemon can Mega Evolve if introduced to the right Mega Stones which resonate with them, some Pokemons can have multiple Mega Evolution, like Charizard here, Charizard can have two different Mega Evolutions, the one in the video is called Mega Charizard Y its a Fire/Flying type, the other Mega Evolution is called Mega Charizard X where its typing changes to Fire/Dragon" Reporter "Can we see the other Mega Evolution" Sycamore "Sure, Sophie y the other clip" Sophie nodded and yed the other Mega Evolution clip where the same process took ce and this time Charizard''s body turned ck and blue mes wereing out from the side of its mouth. People were amazed by this evolution as well. Reporter "So where can we find these Mega Stones?" Sycamore "Well it all depends on a person''s luck, Mega Stones can be found anywhere in Hoenn or any ce where the piece of Meteorite has crashed because the radiation from the meteorite has caused thend to produce a certain kind of energy which helps to create Mega Stones and Key Stones" Reporter "So can we see this Mega Evolution with our own eyes in front of us" Sycamore "Hahaha, that is why Miss Diantha is with me, Miss Diantha please it''s your turn" Saying so Sycamore steps aside to let Diantha be the center of attraction. Diantha "I am honored to be here and show you the first public documentation of Mega Evolution but before that I want to say this, It is indeed necessary for a Keystone and Mega Stone to be present for a pokemon to mega evolve but there is also another thing that is necessary, the bond between you and your pokemon, without absolute trust between you and your pokemon you cannot achieve Mega Evolution" The Reporters took her photos and started to write down what she said as well. Julian also nodded his head agreeing to Diantha about this aspect. Diantha "Now, let''s not talk too much and get to the fun part, Gardevoire out" Diantha sent out her Gardevoir, her Gardevoir was wearing a ne and it had a Mega Stone embedded on it, the people present were quick enough to point it out and it was their first time seeing a Mega Stone in real life. Diantha took a step forward and started the process. Diantha "Ready Gardevoir?" Her Gardevoir nodded and Diantha began, she shed an identical ne as Gardevoir''s which has a Key Stone in it, it started to emit light alongside Gardevoir''s Mega Stone, soon Gardevoir evolved into Mega Gardevoir, now it looked stronger and elegant than before giving off a very refreshing vibe. People were in awe seeing such a beautiful transformation, Wace who was sitting behind is also excited by this because not only will it change the era of man and pokemon kind but also gives him and Hoenn to have a fighting chance if cmity does ur. Daisy was also fascinated by this Mega Evolution and she was already drawing down inspirations she got from seeing all three of those Mega Evolutions, but she suddenly realized something and looked at Julian. Daisy "Julian, don''t you have a bunch of Mega Stones with you, one on Gyarados, Pidgeot and many of your other pokemon" Julian looked at her and smiled wearily. Julian "Yes, I have a few of them but keep quite you don''t have to speak out loudly" Luckily the ce was now filled with all kind of discussion and nobody heard Daisy talk about them. Daisy "Oops sorry" Julian "Don''t worry even if they knew, what are they going to do about it" Julian didn''t care even all the Elite Foure together and attack him he would still be about to defeat them easily. The conference went on and reporters asked many questions about Mega Evolution to Professor Sycamore and he answered them. Chapter 149 - Mossdeep City The news about the Mega Evolution became huge, everybody started to talk about Mega Evolution and many are trying to find these mega stones but it isn''t easy to find them, somerge families had these stones passed down from their ancestors to them and they now realized what they are so they were very excited about it as well. Now that Mega Evolution was no secret any more people started to make fake mega stones and sell them for a huge amount in few stores but they were soon caught by officer Jennies everywhere but the market was still in business. ?? Some people even started to think that the pokemon that brought the lightning storm over Mt. Pyre is also a Mega-Evolved pokemon but they didn''t know what it was. Rumors of this Legendary Trainer once again started to spread all across the known regions as Mega Evolution was a big thing now and many wanted to find the origin of this mysterious Electric Pokemon, some people from Unova believed that this Pokemon is Thundurus, one of the Force Of Nature, but it was soon denied due to its shape not resembling this pokemon in the purple lightning storm. While the whole region was in an uproar about Mega Evolution Julian was nning to leave Lilycove city and head to Mossdeep city for his next battle. Daisy "So we are leaving today?" Julian "Yes, I already book the tickets for the ship, we should head out right now, the ship will arrive at the port in half an hour" Daisy "Ok then, I will get ready" Julian "Sure" Julian waited for Daisy to finish her preparation and once she was done they checked out of the hotel and left. When they arrived at the ship harbor they saw arge crowd in front of a ship leaving to Sootopolis city, there were reporters and people, in general, looking at Professor Sycamore, Diantha, and Wace boarding the ship. Julian ''Looks like they are going to Sootopolis to research on that meteorite''. He looked away as he noticed their ship was already there, he boarded his ship in the car and after that, they found their room and rested for a while. It will take them 7 to 8 days to reach Mossdeep city so Julian booked this luxury ship. Julian was looking at his phone about Mossdeep city, it was a very huge city with over five million people living there along with twelve million pokemons. Julian was not surprised by these numbers as his previous world had more poption than this even though that world was much smaller than this one. This city had many things in it, it is one of the richest cities in Hoenn, it also has the only space center of Hoenn. It is also the home to the Psychic-type Gym, the Mossdeep Gym, home to the twins Tate and Liza. Julian "Just a few days and we will be in Mossdeep city" He kept his phone inside and spent most of his time with Daisy building their rtionship. After days of traveling on the ship, they finally arrived at Mossdeep city, as he expected the city was indeed huge, people were boarding and getting off the ships every minute. Daisy "Come let''s go" Julian nodded and followed her as they got off the ship in the car, he drove around the city for a while and finally found a perfect ce to stay, it was a normal looking Airbnb taken care by an old couple, since all the necessary shops were around this ce he decided to stay here. After settling in they decided to take a look around the city, Daisy wanted to visit the space station so they directly went there. When they reached the Space Station they saw people lining up to buy tickets to enter the Station so Julian joined the line, after a few minutes he sessfully bought two tickets. Julian "Come let''s go" Julian took Daisy inside the station and saw huge rocket models hung to the ceilings, it also showcasedrge rocket engines and how they worked, as Julian and Daisy were looking around the space station Julian saw to familiar figures, it was Tate and Liza, they were standing in front of a Zero Gravity Chamber with two people, one is a man with brown hair wearing an astronaut suit, the other is ady with blue hair and she is wearing sses. Julian ''What are they doing here?'' Julian stopped and looked at the Zero Gravity chamber. Tate "Mom, hurry up we want to train" Jin "Wait for a few minutes Son, your mother is adjusting the chamber to the right settings" Liza "How long will it take?" Rachel "Honey, almost done, here it''s over" Saying so Rachel back off and the Zero Gravity chamber started to run. Liza "Tatee let''s go in" Jin "Wait a minute, where your space suits" They quickly wore their Spacesuits and entered the Zero Gravity chamber. Julian ''So they are the parents of those gym-leaders'' Julian looked at them and started to wonder what are they up to. Julian ''I think I have seen that man somewhere, ah yes he is the director of this Space station and also an Astronaut'' Julian then looked at the twins and saw them floating aimlessly inside the zero gravity chamber and were trying to move around with their pokemon alongside them. Julian ''Looks like they are training to build up coordination and bnce between the two of them'' Julian nodded his head and walked away to look at other stuff. He wanted to spend time with Daisy as he didn''t want to ignore her just because he knew Chloe was somewhere out there in LaRousse city, he could still feel his mark so he was not worried about her right now. Julian "Daisy lets go somewhere else" Daisy "Ok" She happily tagged along with him and went on a date to have fun. Chapter 150 - Double Battle After a day of traveling around the city they day came to an end Next day Julian decide to challenge the gym and move on as he needs to reach LaRousse city to eliminate the Shadows after defeating the Sootopolis gym and he might face even more problems if the gym leaders aren''t able to solve the situation of Mt. Chimney. He asked Daisy to stay or look around the city while he challenges the gym, Daisy agreed so he left the room and headed towards the gym. ?? When he reached the gym he saw it was themed after space, he saw models outside the gym, he also saw two Baltoy statues on the side of the entrance, as he entered the gym he saw the gym''s keeper standing in front of the battlefield entrance. Keeper "Wee, are you a challenger?" Julian "Yes I am" Keeper "Then please enter, the Gym leaders will be waiting for you on the battlefield" Julian nodded and walked into the door leading to the battlefield, as he entered he saw the battlefield was uneven and he saw four Baltoys on each side on the gym, they were all using their psychic powers to help the models levitate high in the air, Julian saw this and shook his head. He then noticed two kids around the age of 14e out wearing blue dresses, they are the twins Tate and Liza. Even though they are 14 years old they have already be gym leaders and that is really impressive. Tate "So you are our next challenger, Sis it''s going to be our 34th consecutive victory" Liza "It sure will" Julian ''Well they are arrogant'' Nut Julian didn''t mind it, they are 14 and already gym leaders, they could be the champions in future. Soon a woman with blue hair and sses walked in, Julian had seen her before, she is Rachel the mother of these two twins and also the referee for this gym. Julian "So what kind of battle are we having" Tate/Liza "Of course a double battle" Julian nodded his head, he was nning to use a certain pokemon for today''s battle. Rachel "Then I will exin the rules, this gym battle will be a Double Pokemon Battle, where both Trainer and the Gym leaders will use two pokemon, nither the Trainer or the Gym Leader is allowed to substitute their pokemon during the battle, the first one to find both of their pokemon unable to battle loses" Julian nodded listening to the rules. Tate and Liza also nodded and sent out their pokemon. Tate "Solrock let''s go" Liza "Lunatone I choose you" Rachel "Ok then, Trainer bring out your two pokemon" Julian "Grovyle, Metang you guys are up" Julian used these two as they are the best counter for this team, Grovyle being a grass-type and Metang being a steel-type. Tate "You must have done your homework huh? Using pokemons which have an advantage over us, but it won''t matter what type of pokemon you use you will still lose" Liza "Yes, no way are you going to defeat the two of us" Julian looked at them and understood what was going on, they have fought and won 34 consecutive victories and they have now grown stronger so it has affected their thought process. Well, Julian had nothing to say as they are still 14 years old. Julian "From what I see you two are just kids who are too overconfident" Julian started to get in their heads from the beginning, it would be a lot faster to defeat opponents who lose their reasoning due to anger and kids are like that. Liza/Tate "What did you say?" Julian "Am I wrong?" Julian smirked looking at them. Their mother Rachel just looked at them and frowned but didn''t say anything, she cannot interfere during a battle. Tate "Let us see if you can talk smack after we defeat you, Sis lets show him" Liza "Ya, let''s show him" Tate "Solrock Use Tackle on Grovyle" Julian "Metang cover Grovyle" As Solrock dashed towards Grovyle Metang suddenly came forward and blocked Solrock, Solrock hit Metang and bounced back vibrating. Liza "Lunatone use Ice Beam on Grovyle" Julian "Metang deflect it with Bullet Punch" Metang swung his arm andpletely destroyed the Ice Beam. Julian "Grovyle, use Agility" Tate "Solrock use Earth Power on Metang" Julian "Metang use Ma Rise" As Tate tried to use Earth Power on Metang, Metang used Ma Rise and suddenly gained Immunity to Ground-type moves for some time. The Earth Power hit Metang but it had no effect on him. Julian "Grovyle use Leaf de" Tate/Liza "Quick move away" Solrock and Lunatone rise higher in the air but suddenly they see Grovyle use Metang as a springboard andunches himself towards the two pokemon as his red des glow, Solrock and Lunatone are not fast enough to dodge the attack so they have to take it head-on. Liza "Lunatone, use Protect" Lunatone gets in front of Solrock and creates a barrier, Grovyle''s Leaf des sh onto the protective barrier, the first sh makes a significant mark while the second sh cuts through the barrier but Solrock and Lunatone escape the disaster. Julian "No so fast, Grovyle use Energy Balls, Metang use sh Canon" Grovyle creates numerous Energy Balls and Metang suddenlyunches a powerful sh Canon, Grovyle follows behind and shoots his Energy Balls as they revolve around the sh Canon. The power behind these attack are huge and they are fast, Solrock and Lunatone have to take these attack head-on once again. Tate/Liza "Use Light Screen" Both Solrock and Lunatone use Light Screen and they suddenly get protected by a doubleyer shining screen. Thebined move of Metang and Grovyle hits the screen and shatters it while it bes weak, it then rips through the second screen and bes weaker, luckily Solrock and Lunatone get enough time to move away and they escape the attack but it was not over, they suddenly see Metang right next to them. Julian "Bullet Punch" Metang swung his fist and sts Solrock to the ground. Julian "Leaf de" As Lunatone is cornered it suddenly sees Grovylee from behind Metang, jumps high and brings down the Leaf de on to Lunatone. Both Solrock and Lunatone crash on the ground and are injured, Grovyle alsonds back on the ground, but he suddenly starts to glow, Grovyle is evolving. His height grows as his single leaf des separate and turns into two des in each hand, his tail bes thicker and turns into a tree-like shape, red round seeds grow on his back. Grovyle evolves into Sceptile. Julian ''Finally, System disy Sceptile Stats" System ''Affirmative'' ____________________ Sceptile Type - Grass level - 40 Age - 14 months Bond - 100% HP - 130 Attack - 150 Defense - 110 Sp.

Ability-Overgrow (Unlocked), Unburdened (Unlocked). ______________________ Julian ''Significant increase in Attacks and Speed, he also learned some Dragon moves, now he will be able to learn Dragon force'' Chapter 151 - Double Battle (2) Grovyle finally evolved into Sceptile after restricting his evolution for quite a while, he was trying to get good control over his energy before evolution just like Gardevoir. Since he had already done it, he just needed stimtion to evolve and this battle gave it to him. ?? Tate and Liza were not suspecting an evolution, it was already hard for them now Sceptile being on the battlefield was now more frustrating. Liza "Bro lets finish this quickly, it doesn''t matter even if it evolved" Tate "Let''s do this" Julian "Sceptile, Metang let''s get over with this" Liza "Lunatone use Confusion" Tate "Solrock you too use Confusion" Lunatone and Solrock start to float high in the air as their body gets covered with psychic energy, suddenly the models in the air start to shake and spin around. Julian ''What are they doing?'' Suddenly a small model rushed towards Sceptile and Metang. Julian ''That is some powerful psychic maniption'' Julian was impressed by the control of Solrock and Lunatone over their psychic energy. Julian "Metang destroy it, use Meteor Mash" Metang shoots like a jet towards the model as his body is covered by blue energy leaving a behind a blue tail line. Metang crashed into the model and shattered into pieces, but he couldn''t see his opponents. Tate "Now Sr Beam" Liza "Use Ice Beam" Lunatone and Solrock hit behind the shattered pieces of model and shot their attack towards Metang. Julian "Iron Defense" Metang activated Iron Defense after hearing Julian as his body gets covered by ayer of steel, the Ice and Sr Beam hit Metang and sends him crashing into a model. Julian "Sceptile now Magical Leaf" While Solrock and Lunatone were busy trying to take down Metang, Julian instructed Sceptile to get behind them while they are distracted through telepathy. Sceptile was constantly using Agility and boosting his speed while staying still and he has reached his limit. Sceptile easily got behind Lunatone and Solrock before Tate and Liza could even warn them andunched a powerful Magical Leaf attack, Magical Leaf can never be dodged so they took the attack head-on. They got assaulted by multiple glowing leaves which sted them into a model. Julian "Metang finish this, use Meteor Mash" Metang shook off the ice covering his body from the previous attack andunched his self towards the in which Solrock and Lunatone were stuck, his body got covered with blue energy and shot towards the''s backside while leaving a blue tail light. Metang went straight through the and hit Lunatone and Solrock from behind which they were not expecting at all, they got thrown towards Sceptile once again. Julian "Now Leaf de" Since Lunatone and Solrock were in no position to counter they went straight into Sceptile''s Leaf des, one sh for each of them and they were down. Lunatone and Solrock fainted. Rachel "Solrock and Lunatone are unable to battle, so the winner is the challenger and his Sceptile and Metang" Tate and Liza didn''t feel great because of losing but they did understand that they were overconfident and didn''t act like a gym leader at all, this was because they were always the ones to win easily against any challenger they faced. But now things are different, they got defeated by a trainer far stronger than them. Rachel went back and brought the Mind badge and gave it to Tate and Liza so that they could hand it over to Julian. Tate and Liza took the badge and looked at Julian. Liza "Thank you for reminding us how to be a proper gym leader by showing us how week we still are and we need more training" Tate "Yes, thank you" They gave the badge to Julian and he took it. Julian "You are not weak, you just need to find your own way" Saying so Julian turned around and walked away. Liza "Wait we still don''t know your name" Julian "It''s Julian, from Kanto" Saying so he walked out of the gym. Back in the gym Tate and Liza looked at each other. Tate "Wait, did he say his name is Julian from Kanto" Liza "Yes he did, but why do you ask?" Tate "Isn''t the previous champion of Kanto has the same name as well" Liza "Wait are you saying? Let me check" Liza took out her phone and quickly searched for Champions of Kanto and there they saw Julian''s face with his eight pokemons. Tate "It was really him" Liza "OH MY ARCEUS, This isn''t a joke right?" Tate "No it isn''t we just had a battle with a champion, luckily he wasn''t using any of his old pokemon" He said as he looked at the photo of Julian and eight giant pokemons with him. Liza "But what is he doing here, is he alsopeting in the league this year" Tate "I think so, as he is not a champion or a member of the elite four he is eligible to participate in the league" Liza "I think we should speak with the elites of Hoenn and tell them about him, he might be able to help us in the uing disaster" Tate "Hoenn is really in a bad situation right now, and there is also that looming treat outside the, we don''t know if it''s going to crash or not" Rachel "I hope it doesn''t we still aren''t able to track down its path as it''s still very far away" Liza "Mom, I think you are father should quickly inform the elites about it as well" Rachel "No, not right now, they are already facing a troublesome disaster, we don''t want them to get more frustrated by this as well" Tate "Liza, Mom is right we should wait until the current problem is solved" Liza "Ok" She looked at the direction Julian left and sighed. Liza ''I hope he can help us''. Chapter 152 - Zinnia Julian walked back to his room where he saw Daisy was making a blue scarf which has red patterns on it. Julian "What are you making?" ?? Daisy "I got inspired by that Mega Evolution stuff and decided to make something, this is for Grovyle" Julian "He just evolved I think you need a make a bigger one" Daisy "Don''t worry, I made this by keeping that in mind that he would evolve one day but I didn''t expect him to evolve so fast" Julian "Is it finished?" Daisy "Just need a little bit of work and it will be finished" Julian "Are you done looking around the city?" Daisy "No, the city is too big, I couldn''t even finish seeing a quarter of this city" Julian "Ok, then let''s look around the city then head towards Sootopolis city. Daisy "Sounds like a n" Julian and Daisy then spent three days looking around the city and enjoying themselves. After finishing their small vacation they decided to leave for Sootopolis city. Julian "Daisy are you ready?" Daisy "Yes, just a minute" Daisy quickly got ready and tagged along with him as they left for the ship harbor, after hours of waiting they finally boarded the ship and left for Sootopolis city. ____________________ Back in Mossdeep city Tate and Liza were waiting for the other gym leaders toe to their gym as the second meeting was decided to be held in their gym and talk about Hoenn''s condition. Liza "When will they arrive?" Tate "Don''t know, let''s just wait" Their wait was soon over as one of the gym leaders finally arrived, it was Norman. Tate/Liza "Mr. Norman wee" Norman nodded and looked at the meeting room. Norman "Am I the only one who arrived?" Tate/Liza "Yes" Norman "Ok, looks like we have to wait" Next toe was Juan, he was, as usual, wearing his long blue coat. After him, the remaining members also arrived, Roxanne, Brawly, Wattson, nnery, and Winona. They all arrived one after the other and took their seat. There was silence in the room and no one was starting the conversation. Norman "So what''s the situation?" nnery "The machine that is in Mt. Chimney cannot be stopped, it will destroy Mt. Chimney" Norman "What do you mean?" Juan "The Team Aqua bastards put a self-destructive mechanism in that machine, even the slightest change made in it will cause it to explode taking down Mt. Chimney with it" Winona "If that happens many people will die" Juan "That''s why the elites are not taking any action yet" Roxanne "Did Mr. Stonee up with something?" Wattson "I and Mr. Stone talked about it, we cannot stop that machine without changing it and doing so will make it self-destruct" Brawly "This is bad" Juan "Did you evacuate the people living near the seashores?" Brawly "Yes all of them have been evacuated to northern regions, it was hard to do but with help of Roxanne and nnery we were able to pull it off" Norman "If this continues the bnce will be broken and they might awaken" Juan "We have to brace ourselves, we have the orbs, if things go wrong we can use it" Tate "There is someone who can help us" Juan "Who?" Liza "The Champion of Kanto" Juan "Lance? I know he is powerful but will hee to Hoenn in such short notice, it will take months for him to arrive" Tate "No we are talking about the previous Champion of Kanto" Norman and Roxanne suddenly realized this as well. Juan "The previous champion of Kanto? You mean Mr. Julian, he has not been seen in the public for months" Norman "No, he is here in Hoenn" Juan "He is in Hoenn?" Roxanne "Yes, he challenged me to a gym battle months ago but I forgot about it due to all thismotion going here in Hoenn" Norman "Same here, he challenged me as well" Juan "Why would a champion at that level challenge you?" Even though it was disrespectful for Juan to say this, they didn''t mind it as they know what kind of monster Julian''s pokemon were. Norman "He has started new, he is traveling with new pokemon, I think he will participate in the league" Winona "You are saying the Champion of Kanto is here and challenging the gyms, wait?" Winona suddenly remembered someone, same could be said to the others as well, such as nnery, Wattson, and Brawly. Winona "ck Coat" Brawly "Red eyes" nnery "ck Hair" Wattson "Hahahaha, so it was him after all, no wonder he swept me so easily" Juan "Wait, so all of you have been defeated?" Tate "Yes, that means his next destination will be Sootopolis city" Juan "So I will have to face him next" The other couldn''t believe they didn''t recognize Julian, they knew about the existence of Julian but havepletely forgotten how he looked. Juan "Wait something is strange?" Norman "What is it?" Juan "The champion of Kanto is here, and this mysterious man who destroyed Team Magma and Aqua also appeared recently here, he was alsost seen in Kanto" Norman "You mean they could be the same person?" Juan "It could be possible, we have to ask him directly" Wattson "Then you have to head back to Sootopolis city quickly. Juan "Yes, I have no time I will be leaving" Juan got up and left, the other gym leaders also soon left as well. Winona, nnery, and Brawly couldn''t believe they fought Julian and didn''t even recognize him, Wattson took it in with no problem as his character was so. _____________________ The same day on an ind a woman wearing Team Magma''s outfit stood on top of a tall tower and looked up at the sky, she is on top of the Sky Pir. She undressed from the uniform and wore another dress, she had short ck hair, now she was wearing a ck top with jeans hot-pants and a cape, she had a twisted ankle bracelet on her right leg which was shaped like a dragon and a Keystone was stuck in it. A Wishmur is standing beside her. She is Zinnia thest of the Draconid people, they were thest worshipers and protectors of Rayquaza''s Jade but Shadow Legion stole it from them. Zinnia "It was useless for me to join Team Aqua or Team Magma, they had nothing that could help in stopping theing disaster, upon that they brought a new disaster to Hoenn, I got lucky that day when the Magma headquarters suddenly copsed and I would have been buried under" Zinnia looked at Wishmur Zinnia "Hoenn is in great threat, but I know what to do, I have to awaken the Rayquaza from three thousand years ago and ask its help to eliminate these threats, but it is not easy" Wishmur "........" Zinnia "Yes, that person on Latios, the one who destroyed Team Magma and Aqua, he might have the answers, I have to find him quickly" She then tossed a Pokeball and a huge Smence came out, it had a Mega Stone on its tail, she hopped on its back and flew away. Chapter 153 - Arrived At Sootopolis City After traveling in the ship for a few days Julian was bored, luckily he had Daisy with him and things were normal, his rtionship with Daisy has grown a lot and he was quite happy about it, same could be said for Daisy, she was getting much more attention from him as well. As another few days passed by they finally reached Sootopolis city, when they saw the huge outer walls of the city they were surprised, these walls were formed when the meteorite crashed 3000 years ago. ?? If they thought Mossdeep city was big, it was no way near how big Sootopolis city actually is, it is one of the main cities of Hoenn region and many people live here around 20 million people to be exact, it is also the secondrgest city in Hoenn second only to Ever Grande city. When the got off from the ship they saw arge number of people entering the city, Julian heard some of them talking and all of them were trying to find Mega Stones, as the news got recently announced Hoenn was only talking about two things the mysterious lightning pokemon and Mega Evolution. People started to leave their house to go in search of these mega stones, they went to ancient tombs, relics and some of them were even sessful, the most Mega Stone found was in Sootopolis city as it is also the city which has the meteorite under it. Daisy "Looks like most of them are here to search for Mega Stones, I hope I find one as well" Julian "But you don''t have any pokemon" Daisy "Who said I don''t have any pokemon, they are just back in Kanto with grandpa" Daisy said puffing her cheeks. Julian "Haha, just joking I am sure you will find one for your pokemon, by the way, what pokemon do you have back in Kanto?" Daisy "I have an Espeon, her name is Lily" Daisy said with a smile, Julian was surprised by this, Espeon were not thatmon in Kanto, the mostmon eeveelution in Kanto are reon, Veporeon, and Jolteon as their respective evolution stones aremon in Kantopared to other evolution stone. Julian "Great, I would like to meet her one day" Daisy "Me too, I want to try all the grooming methods I learned and all kinds of stylish essories on her" For some reason, Julian felt pity for the Espeon he has never seen before but he didn''t show it on his face. Julian "Let''s go in and look around the city" Daisy "Ya, let''s go in" They rode into the city and found a hotel to stay for the day, Julian decided to train his pokemons before he challenged the gym and since Sootopolis city is so big he decided to look around while doing so. ________________ For three days Julian trained while roaming around the city with Daisy, Daisy has finished the scarf she made for Sceptile as well, it was a neck scarf with sharp red patterns and a gold round hook which could easily be used to ce a Mega Stone in it. Julian liked it very much and same could be said for Sceptile as well, Julian had thought of making a metal bracelet for Sceptile if he finds a Mega Stone for him but seeing the scarf he decided not to as it looked fine. While he was busy training, Juan the gym leader who is waiting patiently for him to arrive was getting frustrated, whenever he heard a challenger hase to challenge, he would get excited but soon it turns into disappointment as they were all random challengers. Julian was finally done with all the training and with that Vibrava and Metang was close to evolution and they just needed stimtion for that. Luckily it came to him when he was looking around the forest in the city''s outskirts, the forest in Sootopolis city was man-made thousand years ago by the locals and it soon started to flourish on its own, making Sootopolis even more suitable ce for pokemons to thrive. As he was going around the forest with Absol by his side, he was bonding with Absol as he was the hardest to get along due to his lonely nature, but things were going on pretty well with Absol and his other pokemons. Suddenly he saw a trainering opposite to him with a Zoroark next to him, Julian was surprised seeing this pokemon, Zoroark is rare pokemon and they could only be found in Unova, maybe some could be seen in Kalos but mostly in Unova. Absol started at Zoroark and Zoroark did the same, the trainer of this Zoroark is wearing a red long vest and ck pants with short ck hair. Absol could sense that Zoroark was on the same level as his and also controlled the same element so he wanted a battle, Julian noticed this and looked at the trainer in front of him. The trainer also noticed his Zoroark staring at Absol as well. Samual "Hello my name is Samual from Unova and this is my Partner Zoroark, how about we have a battle and looks like your Absol also wants a fight" Julian "I am Julian and Absol here is my partner as well, Let''s see what Absol finds so interesting about your partner" Samual "Ho, aren''t you confident, I like opponents who are confident as you, how about a Dual Battle then, what do you think?" Julian "A Dual Battle huh?" Julian looked at Absol to see if he agrees and Absol nodded, he just wanted a challenge and a double battle would surely give him one. Julian "Ok then a double battle it is then, which will be your other Pokemon?" Samual "Come out" He tossed a Pokeball up in the air and soon a pokemon with two head came out, it is a Zweilous. Julian ''An another dark type? He must be one of those Type geeks'' Julian "Then my Pokemon will be Metang" Julian tossed out Metang''s Pokeball as he entered the battlefield, he soon released a mini psychic wave as his body was bursting with concentrated psychic energy as his brains were starting to multiple because he was near evolution. Samual "This is going to be fun" Chapter 154 - Julian Vs Samual Samual "This is going to be fun" It is indeed a high scale battle, two Dark-type pokemons with mysterious powers facing each other, Absol could sense disasters and Zoroark could create an illusion to fool its opponents, while on the other side are two middle stage pseudo-legendary facing each other. ?? Julian couldn''t have asked for a perfect opponent before he challenges the gym and also stimte Metang''s evolution. Samual "Let me start the battle, Zoroark, use Night Daze, Zweilous assist Zoroark with Dragon Breath" Zoroark raised its hand and created a ck smog with went straight towards Absol, Zweilous followed up with a powerful Dragon Breath from its two heads. Julian "Absol use Protect, Metang, deflect the Dragon Breath with sh Cannon" As Night Daze was about to hit Absol he suddenly created ayer of a protective shield in front of him and escaped from the Night Daze, Metang took the sky andunched a powerful sh Cannon towards the Dragon Breath from above andpletely decimated it. Julian "Metang use Bullet Punch on Zweilous, Absol stay close to Metang" Metang charged towards Zweilous as he used the thrust from his psychic energy to move very fast, Absol is pretty quick as well and managed to stay close to Metang. Samual "Not so fast, Zoroark, defend Zweilous use Night sh on Metang. Zweilous use Double Team" Julian "Absol counter with Night sh as well" As Zoroark was about to hit Metang, Absol interfered and both Night sh shed with each other, they were equally powerful but Absol soon got the upper hand because his Ability kicked in. Justified - It rises Absol''s attack whenever he gets hit by a Dark-type move. Zoroark was sent tumbling back but it did a role and got back to its feet, Zweilous which used double team made multiple copies of itself to confuse Metang but Metang did care about it. Since he couldn''t find the real Zweilous he used Bullet Punch on the ground sending tremors over the whole area causing Zweilous to get startled and tumble on the ground. Julian "Metang now Metal w" Since Zweilous is now vulnerable, Metang quickly used Metal w and hit Zweilous hard and sent it rolling on the ground. Samual "Zoroark use Agility, quick assist Zweilous" Zoroark used agility to increase its speed and charged towards Metang to protect Zweilous from him, even though Zweilous is strong it is not as fast a Metang and after getting hit by Metang''s attack the two heads started to quarrel. Julian "Absol block Zoroark from interfering" Absol quickly moved in and used Assurance, since Zoroark had taken damage previously Assurance''s power doubled and sent it toppling back. Julian "Metang use Metal w once again" Metang did as Julian asked and hit the quarreling two-headed Zweilous with another Metal w sending they rolling on the ground once again. This suddenly agitated Zweilous and they went crazy, both the heads started to shoot out random attacks at random direction and unluckily Metang was very close to them and a powerful Dark-Pulse from one of the head hit Metang and sent him crashing into a tree. Zoroark got to its feet and growled at Absol. Samual "Zoroark use Illusion to calm down Zweilous and distract Absol while doing so as well" Zoroark''s ability was very powerful it could use it to show many people multiple illusion at the same time, Zoroark activated its ability and Absol suddenly fell into a trance as well as Zweilous. But Zweilous soon came out of its trance and was now calm again but it was also breathing very heavily, it was tried due to all the random attacks it did when it went berserk. Samual "You were indeed a tough opponent but it''s over, your Absol is in a deep trance and ispletely vulnerable and you Metang might be out" Julian "Is that what you think?" Samual "Huh?" Julian [Absol snap out of it] Julian sent a telepathic message to Absol, Absol who was now currently seeing an illusion of him sleeping near a beautifulke suddenly heard Julian''s voice in his head and realized something is wrong, he let out a powerful burst of Dark energy and shattered the Illusion and snapped out of the trance. Samual "How is it possible?" Samual was shocked, his Zoroark was able to put more than eight pokemon in an illusion simultaneously and twenty people, but now it was broken by Absol in an instant. Julian "Metang get up" Hearing Julian, Metang who was on the ground suddenly started to float levitate again as he started to glow, he has triggered his evolution by taking that Dark Pulse directly. Samual "How is this even possible" Julian "If I wanted Metang could have easily finished off your Zweilous with a single hit but I purposely made Metang use Metal w to now inflict heavy damage to your Zweilous since it''s your Pokemon''s nature to quarrel with its own heads. I used it as an advantage to Stimte Metang''s evolution since Metang''s defense is high enough I knew he would not fall down with just one hit from a Dark Pulse of that caliber, even though it was powerful it still not enough to take down Metang" Samual didn''t expect things to go like this at all. Metang slowly started to get bigger as his Hands started to separate into four and grow thicker, his horn in front of his face disappeared and formed into a golden cross, now that Metang has evolved into Metagross his brains also multiplied and now he has four of them, his psychic energy is leaking out heavily while his Metallic energy is covering his body and increasing his defense. Julian ''Now only Vibrava and Pupitar are the ones remaining to evolve'' Julian ''System show Metagross Stats'' System ''Affirmative'' ___________________ Metagross Type - Steel/Psychic level - 45 Age - 1 year Bond - 90% HP - 160 Attack - 170 Defense - 200 Sp.

Ability-Clear Body (Unlocked), Light Metal (Unlocked) ____________________ Julian ''He learned Hyper Beam, Psychic, and Hammer Arm, not bad at all, his stats are the main things to be impressed about'' Chapter 155 - Julian Vs Samual (2) Samual was not expecting him to get used by someone to evolve their pokemon, he was frustrated but excited as well, he had never faced such a strong opponent before and this is also the reason he traveled the world was to find strong opponents. He came to Hoenn in search for Mega Stones as soon as he heard the news, he took the next flight the day of the announcement toe to Hoenn. ?? Samual "You really are a worthy opponent, I always wanted to battle someone who is exceptionally stronger than me but never got a chance but now it is here" Samual grinned Samual "Since you are so strong I have no choice to use my secret move" Julian "Secret move? What could that be?" Julian was intrigued by this so-called Secret move Samual was talking about. Samual "You will see it when the time is right" Julian "Ho? Then I will be waiting" Samual "Zweilous use Rest, Zoroark cover Zweilous for now" Julian "Absol Use Night sh" Samual "Use Foul y" As Absol charged towards Zoroark, in the nick of time Zoroark uses Foul y, the Night sh which was supposed to inflict damage on Zoroark reversed and hit Absol and sent him rolling on the ground. Samual "Dark Pulse Julian "Night sh" Absol quickly takes his stance as his horn glows dark and bes bigger and sh it towards the iing Dark Pulse and destroyed it, as Absol got hit by two dark moves his attack stats once again increases significantly due to his ability kicking in, this was not noticed by Samual as he doesn''t know what Ability Absol has. Julian "Metagross, use Miracle Eye" Julian had enough and decided to finish it, Metagross suddenly raised all four of his hands and powerful psychic energy started to gather in front of him and it suddenly turned into a huge eye, it was Miracle Eye, the Eye released a ray of purple light which hit both Zoroark and Zweilous, it removed their Immunity to Psychic-type moves. Samual was not expecting this at all but his luck was by his side, his Zweilous woke up re-energized. Julian "Metagross, use Gravity" Metagross eyes glowed red and suddenly a huge pressure started to surround the surroundings, Zoroark and Zweilous felt their knees go weak and hit the ground. Samual was also feeling the pressure even though it was not directed towards him. Samual "It''s now or never" Saying so Samual shed the purple wristband on his left hand, it had a blue rhombus shaped crystal on it which had a ck wing design on it. Julian "What is that?" Samual "This is a Z-Crystal that can be only found in Al region, these crystals help a pokemon to use a very power element type move" Julian didn''t know what a Z-Crystal was because he doesn''t know about Al region as well, when he dies in his previous life he only knew about six regions that are till Kalos, he knows that there are regions beyond what he saw in the anime but he didn''t try to figure it out as he wanted to do other things. Samual "Zweilous let''s do this, try hard even if the Gravity is present" Julian wanted to see what this Z-Crystal could do so he instructed Metagross to lower the level of Gravity on Zweilous and Metagross did He suddenly saw Samual do weird hand and body gestures while his Zweilous did it with him. Julian ''What the fuck are they doing?'' Julian didn''t know what was happening, he just looked at Samual as if he was stupid, but he suddenly felt the change in Atmosphere, he could feel the huge amount of Dragon Energy forming in front of Zweilous. Julian [Metagross, Absol start to store up energy for a very powerful counter don''t hold back] Hearing Julian''s voice in their head they nodded and started to store up arge amount of energy, Metagross was concentrating a huge amount of Psychic energy into a single point and infusing it to a Hyper Beam. Absol was also concentrating all his Dark Energy into a single point to release a devastating Dark Pulse] Samual "Let''s finish this, DEVASTATING DRAKE" Suddenly all the energy which was collected in front of Zweilous turned into a huge ming blue dragon and shot towards Absol and Metagross with full power. Julian "Do it" Hearing Julian''smand Absol and Metagross alsounched their attack, just the magnitude of these three attacks forced everything in the area to run miles away. Metagross''s Hyper Beam and Absol''s Dark Pulse suddenly started to swirl with each other forming an even powerful and bigger move. And finally, the moves collided, the power behind the collision was extreme, Julian secretly released his omniforce and surrounded the area so that the energy doesn''t leak out. The st wiped out the grass from the ground andpletely burnt it, the trees near them disappeared and turned into ashes. Julian was really surprised by how powerful this move was, he couldn''t believe a pokemon at that level couldunch such a powerful attack, it was not stronger than any of his older pokemon moves but if this move is used it could take down enemies way above its league. The st came to an end and all three moves got canceled, Zweilous was extremely tired after using that move and with Metagross''s Gravity still present it copsed and fainted, Zoroark was the one who received the most damage as it was pinned to the ground by Metagross''s Gravity and the bacsh from the explosion knocked it outpletely. Absol was protected by Metagross as he created a protectiveyer in front of them and escaped from the attack''s bacsh. Samual looked at his two unconscious pokemon and sighed. Samual "Man, I thought I would at least take out one after using the Z-move but thatbination attack was really powerful, I lostpletely" Julian "You said it is a Z-move?" Samual "Ah? Yes, this is Dragonium Z, the move I used is called Devastating Drake, it can be used by Dragon-type pokemons or any pokemons that knows a Dragon-type move" Julian "So there are more of these Z-Crystals?" Samual "Yes, there are all types of Z-Crystals, there are some exclusive Z-Crystals that can only be used by that specific pokemon species" Julian "Are they only found in Al?" Samual "From what I know, yes, I went to Al years ago and had to go through Ind trails to receive the crystals" Julian nodded and called back his pokemon. Julian "Then I will be leaving, I have other things to do" Saying so he walked away, leaving behind Samual all alone with his pokemon. Samual ''Next time we meet I will be the one who will be victorious'' He also walked away after returning his pokemons back to their Pokeball. Chapter 156 - Mega Metagross Julian was wondering about the Z-Crystal he saw with Samual, from the day he came to this world he never tried to look forward than what he knows already, he doesn''t know what lies beyond the six regions he already knows. He realized he is still mentally not prepared to take a step outside the world he knew, he was not prepared to see a world which he knew nothing about. ?? Julian ''I have to get out of this box someday, but before that, I want to enjoy the things I have already nned'' Julian felt a huge world that is still not known to him needs to be discovered, he felt light and another burden got off of him. System ''Host is instructed to Meditate, Host''s soul is going through another change'' Julian ''What?'' Julian didn''t expect a change to ur in his soul. He looked at a tree nearby and sat down and closed his eyes to slow down his heartbeat and calm his mind. Even though his Soul could still go through changes without him meditating, but by keeping a calm mind the process will be much faster. Time slowly passed and it was already evening, Julian was in a trance for a long time now, after a few minutes his eyes flickered and he slowly opened them. Julian "I feel no physical change" Julian ''System what has changed?'' System ''Host''s soul is now able to use his Ability Resonance with Infernape'' Julian suddenly remembered the Ability Resonance he got months ago when he broke through the shackles of his old life but he couldn''t use it. Julian ''What does Resonance do?'' System ''System doesn''t know, Data has not been provided'' Julian ''How do I use it?'' System ''System doesn''t know, Data has not been provided, the host has been asked to figure it out himself'' Julian ''Hmm, looks like I have to figure it out myself'' Julian took a deep breath and stood up, he suddenly noticed the Omniforce around him was now much thicker than before, his control over it is now much smoother. Julian looked at the orange sky and towards the city. Julian ''I should head back or Daisy will be worried'' He took out his bike from his dimensional pocket and rode away. As he reached the hotel he saw Daisy watching TV, a new program which followed a guy who is in search of Mega Stones, as Mega Evolution became the new thing everything started to trend which has Mega Evolution rted to it. Julian "I am back" Daisy turned around and looked at Jason. Daisy "Back so early?" Julian "Have you seen the time?" Julian was surprised as Daisy didn''t even know what time it is, she looked outside to notice it was already evening. Daisy "My God, I didn''t even notice the time fly by, this TV series is very addictive" Julian "You should watch less" Daisy "I will try, hehe" They then spent the night together. Next morning Julian woke up early and decided to go out to the forest for one final training session so he got dressed and walked out of the room after wishing Daisy a good morning. When he reached the forest it was very quiet with some bug pokemons making a faint sound, the morning dew is rolling of the leaves and the air is moist. Julian ''I think I should go on the outskirts of the city to test it'' Julian had found a Mega Stone in Granite Cave way back when he only had two badges with him, this Mega Stone gave a simr wavelength to his Metagross so he deiced to check it out. Aftering out in an empty ce he brought out Metagross. Julian "Metagross Come out" Metagross came out and looked around he saw nothing but an empty area. Julian took out the Mega Stone he found in Granite cave and ced it in front of Metagross. Metagross looked at the small marble in front of him and felt it was resonating with him. Julian "Do you feel anything?" Metagross nodded and stared at the Mega Stone. Julian ''I was right after all'' Julian "Hold the Mega Stone lets try your Mega Evolution" Metagross nodded and lifted the Mega Stone and grabbed it with his two ws. Julian "Let''s go Mega Evolve" Julian shed the Keystone in his locket and it glowed while radiating bright light, the Mega Stone in Metagross hands also started to glow and it also radiated a powerful light. The two light rays fused together and Metagross started to glow, his head started to change into more of round but not too round, he still had his sharp edges, his front two hands started to grow thicker while the back two arms started to fuse with each other to make a bigger one at the back. Julian was surprised by this change, it was very different from what he had seen in the anime. Julian ''Its looks like another variant of Mega Evolution just like Gyarados''s'' The evolution was finally over and Metagross looked really majestic, the cross on his face is pure white which went over his whole head. His two front arms had holes with clear crystals in them and the arm on the back is huge, double the size of a single arm, it has a pure whiteyering over the metallic light blue. Metagross then folded his arms in such a way that he turned into a jet-like shape, his two front arms bent and faced towards the back while his back arm came over his head and three arms m shut to form a jet like thrusters at the back. Julian ''What a great Mega Evolution'' Metagross shot towards the sky with extreme speed and came back in seconds. _________________________ For reference - /tomycase/art/Mega-Metagross-465349438 , artwork done by Tomycase, I found it in Deviant Art.

Next day Julian woke up and got ready for his gym battle. ?? Daisy wished him good luck and went back to sleep as she is still a little tired. Julian walked out of his hotel and rode his bike towards the central city where the gym is located, he saw many travelers around here, most in search for Mega Stones. Julian also saw some shops selling some fake ones as well but he didn''t bother with it as it was none of his business with it. When he reached the gym, he was surprised by how the gym looked, it looked like a royal mansion than a gym, the huge gates opened slowly as Julian closed in, he walked in to see flower beds everywhere, the grass is neatly trimmed and bushes are cut into water type pokemon sculptures. He came in front of the huge royal looking blue and white mansion. As he walked in he is greeted by a maid and a butler who is wearing their respective ck uniform Butler "Greetings, are you perhaps a challenger?" Julian "Yes" Butler "May I ask your name?" Julian "Julian" Butler "Julian? Ah, yes it''s Master Julian, our master has been waiting for you for quite a long time" Julian "He is waiting for me?" Butler "Yes, pleasee with me I will escort you" Julian nodded and followed the butler towards the battlefield. Butler "Master asked me to bring you straight to the battlefield so that you don''t have to wait for a gym battle" Julian "That''s considerate of him" Julian has already realized that Juan must have found out about his existence, and he knew the gym leaders would one day know who he is as some of them already know he is in Hoenn. As he came into the battlefield he saw a huge water battlefield with multiple small tforms on it, he saw a huge logo of the gym on the walls. Julian ''This is really a grand Gym'' When he saw Wattson''s gym he thought it was grand butpared to this gym it is nothing, he looked around and saw the door on the other side open and a middle-aged man with ck hair with a white portion on his front, wearing a blue long coat walked in with his hand behind his back. Juan "It is a pleasure to meet Sir Julian finally, I have been waiting for you for quite a long time" Julian "Its a pleasure as well to meet the teacher of a champion" Juan "How is your stay in Hoenn?" Julian "It''s pretty great, Hoenn is a great ce to live in" Juan "I want to ask why is the former champion of Kanto doing in Hoenn" Julian "Well, to be honest, I am really not a champion material, I would rather travel around the world than be a champion, that is why I forfeited the title" Juan "I see, so are you going to participate in the league?" Julian "Indeed, while traveling battling with strong trainers is also something exciting and where can I find strong trainers other than the league" Juan "I see, then I as a Gym leader will ept your challenge, Sir Julian" Julian nodded and looked at Juan. The butler who was standing behind Julian went towards the referee area and stood there. Butler "I will be the referee for the gym battle between the challenger Sir Julian and the gym leader Juan, each trainer will use four pokemon for this battle, only the trainer is allowed to substitute during the battle, the person who doesn''t have any pokemon left to battle at the end will lose" Both Julian and Juan nodded their heads and agreed with the rules. Julian ''A four pokemon battle, let''s see who I should use'' Julian will decide which pokemon to use after he sees Juan''s pokemon. Butler "Then let the battle begin" Juan "Here I go,e out Poliwrath" Juan sends out his first pokemon and its a Poliwrath, a water/fighting type. Julian "Then I choose you, Sceptile" Julian sends out Sceptile as his first pokemon. Juan knows Sceptile is not one of Julian''s older pokemon as he still doesn''t have that aura around him. Juan "Poliwrath dive into the Water" Hearing Juan Poliwrath jumps into the water and disappeared from Sceptile''s sight. Julian "Calm down, just feel the movements in the water, once ites near hit it with an Energy Ball" no matter how deep Poliwrath is if it moves it will create waves in the water and Sceptile was focusing on that. Sceptile stayed on top of the water tform and waited for Poliwrath to emerge, after few seconds Sceptile suddenly jumped and the tform beneath his feet shattered into pieces, it was Poliwrath who broke it with its punch. Sceptile got his chance and created multiple Energy Balls and shot it towards Poliwrath, as Poliwrath is still in air it couldn''t dodge it and got hit by the first Energy Ball and was sted into the water again, the other Energy Balls exploded as the touched the surface of the water. Juan "Poliwrath use Counter" Poliwrath suddenly shot out of the water towards Sceptile. Julian "Use Magical Leaf" As Poliwrath was fast and could dodge normal attacks Julian decided to go with Magical leaf and Sceptile used it, des of glowing Leaf assaulted Poliwrath and sent it back and dispelled its Counter. Julian "Sceptile use Leaf de" Sceptile charged towards Poliwrath and his red crescent des shown bright red, two des in each hand went straight towards Poliwrath, the power behind one Leaf de is devastating as Sceptile has two des in one hand right now. If Poliwrath receives the attack from both the hands it''s over. Juan waited for a while for Poliwrath to recover and looked as Sceptile closed in on Poliwrath, as Sceptile was about to hit Poliwrath. Juan "Now Counter" Poliwrath hands glow and intercepted Sceptile''s leaf des and pushed him back while causing some damage. Julian "Magical Leaf" As soon as Sceptile was pushed back Julian didn''t give much time and called another move. Sceptile attacked with Magical Leaf again and it hit Poliwrath as it has no way to counter a move like Magical Leaf, it was blown away again. Poliwrath is still in the air and cannot attack, Julian didn''t let Poliwrath take even a break before calling another attack. Julian "Finish it Leaf Storm" Sceptile summoned a powerful Leaf Storm which shook the whole battlefield, the water turned into aggressive waves and on top of it was a huge Leaf Tornado with Poliwrath inside it getting tossed from one end to another and getting hit by multiple sharp leaves inside the storm. The storm stopped and Poliwrath fell on a tformpletely fainted. Butler "Poliwrath is unable to battle Sceptile wins" Chapter 158 - Julian Vs Juan (2) Juan was not surprised by the oue at all, he had expected Julian to be thought even though he is not using his old pokemon, he is still a champion. Juan ''A champion is still a champion no matter what pokemon he uses, any pokemon hemands have certain grace in their movement and they share a very deep understanding with each other'' ?? Juan "As expected of Sir Julian, your pokemon are remarkable" Julian "Yes they are" Juan "Then let me show you my next pokemon,e out Walrein" Juan sent out his Walrein, it is a huge pokemon with long sharp fangsing out of its mouth, it wasrger than a normal Walrein which indicated Juan too good care of this Walrein. Julian ''An Ice/Water type'' Julian "Sceptile get ready" Juan "Walrein use Ice Ball" Ice Ball is a very powerful move, the first Ice Ball doesn''t have much power behind it but as the pokemon keeps using it, its power doubles each time unless the pokemon takes damage. Julian "Sceptile Use Energy Ball" Julian knew he cannot let Walrein build up that Ice Ball so he went to direct assault. Sceptile created multiple energy balls and shot it towards Walrein, one of the Energy Ball destroyed the Ice Ball and the rest of them charged towards Walrein. Juan "Defense Curl" Walrein quickly rolled into a ball and a thick energyyer surrounded it, the Energy Balls hit one after the otherpletely depleting the thick energy surrounding Walrein body, Walrein was hit and received some damage, it was thanks to the Defense Curl that its defense rose highly. Juan "Now use Ice Ball again" Even though Sceptile''s attack had stopped the Ice Ball from increasing its power, Ice Ball had another annoying property, after a pokemon uses Defense Curl its power doubles and the first Ice Ball carries as much power as the second Ice Ball, second Ice ball holds as much power as the third Ice Ball and it goes on. The Ice Ball shot towards Sceptile with full speed. Julian "Sceptile use Agility and dodge it" Sceptile used Agility and his speed increased, he moved aside and dodged the Ice Ball but Walrein shot another one and this has double the power than before. Sceptile used Agility once again and dodged the Ice Ball, Sceptile kept on using Agility to push his speed to limit. Walrein sent another Ice Ball and this was gigantic, it holds 4x the power of the first Ice Ball. Julian ''I cannot allow the Ice Ball to get more powerful, even if Sceptile is able to dodge them, it will soon freeze up the entire battlefield and it will be hard for Sceptile to move around. Julian "Sceptile use Leaf de" Sceptile sprinted towards Walrein with full speed while dodging the iing attack, Walrein sent out another Ice Ball and if Sceptile gets hit by this it will be all over in just one move. The Ice Ball wasrger than before, Sceptile will have to go around it to reach Walrein, the Ice Ball was emitting a chilling light and it blinded Juan''s vision so he couldn''t see what happened. Soon the Ice Ball sted and half of the battlefield waspletely covered with ice, Juan looked around and couldn''t find Sceptile anywhere, then he suddenly noticed movement in the air, he looked up and saw Sceptileing down on Walrein with his four long crescent red des with full speed. When the Ice Ball was about to hit Sceptile, Julian instructed Sceptile to use his tail to jump and dodge the Ice Ball, Sceptile had never used his tail after he evolved into Grovyle, he didn''t think much and with his powerful tail heunched himself up in the air and dodged the gigantic Ice Ball. Sceptile came down and delivered all four des onto Walrein sending it crashing through the iceyer and into the water. Julian "Finish this Frenzy nt" Julian was training Sceptile to use Frenzy nt and it was hard, Frenzy nt is the strongest Grass-type move and its power is devastating. Sceptile jumped up and sent out multiple seeds on the battlefield, into the water and the tforms on the water. He then raised his hand and started to glow green as he is trying to perform Frenzy nt, receiving Sceptile''s energy the seeds started to react and grow into humongous root like structure with small lives hanging on them. These roots started to move on their own and got hold of Walrein and wrapped it, while one of the roots came down towards it like a whip and whipped Walrein from the roots hold to across the battlefield and nted it into a wall. The roots disappeared and everything went back to normal, but the battlefield ispletely ruined. Juan was surprised this time by seeing the power behind the attack was, Frenzy nt could be one of the hardest moves to master by any grass type pokemon and Sceptile somehow pulled it off. Sceptile is still not as good as Julian''s Venusaur but with Venusaur guiding his he would one day be on par with Venusaur. Butler "Walrein is unable to battle, Sceptile wins" Juan ''I don''t expect to win this battle but I thought I would be able to give a harder battle for him but it looks like its nothing for him to take me down, as expected of the strongest champion'' Juan "My next pokemon, Go Crawdaunt" Julian ''A Water/Dark type, huh?'' Julian "Sceptile return" Julian decided to return Sceptile back to his Pokeball as he is tired after using Frenzy nt. Julian "Let''s go Milotice out" Julian sent out Milotic for his next pokemon, Julian choose Milotic as she is very quick in water and could easily out speed anything in the water. Since this is a water-themed pokemon gym it would be useless if he didn''t take advantage of it. Chapter 159 - Julian Vs Juan (3) Milotic entered the water and looked at her opponent, she has a better grasp over her opponent due to her control over her energy, she was always guided by Gyarados on how to control her water element perfectly. Juan "What a beautiful Milotic, she scales are shiny and very pleasing to one''s eyes" ?? Julian nodded, he took special care of Milotic as she always liked to be rubbed with her special brush to stay shiny all day. Juan "Let''s begin, Crawdaunt use Crunch" Crawdaunt charged towards Milotic and used Crunch, a giant jaw made of dark energy came above Milotic and was about to close down on her. Julian "Dive underwater, use Twister" Milotic listened to Julian and dove underwater and escaped from the crunch, she then created a Twister and sent it towards Crawdaunt, due to the twister being created underwater it formed a whirlpool on the surface and dragged Crawdaunt to the middle of it. Julian "Now use Dragon Tail" Milotic swiftly swam towards the Trapped Crawdaunt and swung her tail with full power while using Dragon Tail. Juan "Crawdaunt, use Night sh and deflect it" Crawdaunt bashed his powerful tail on the water surface and got out of the whirlpool and intercepted Milotic''s Dragon Tail with its glowing dark w by using Night sh. Both retrieved back after the exchange and started at each other, they were equally matched in raw power but Milotic''s specialty is not her Physical attacks but her Special attacks. Juan "Crawdaunt, use Sludge Bomb" Julian "Use Protect" Crawdaunt sent a brown blob of poison towards Milotic but she quickly used Protect to deflect it. Juan "Now Crab Hammer" Crawdaunt quickly swam towards Milotic and mmed his huge ws onto the Protective shied repeatedly, the more protect stays the less effective it gets, soon it started to crack and Crawdaunt''s w ripped through itunch at powerful blow towards Milotic, but Milotic suddenly used Hydro Pump and sent Crawdaunt flying backward and crashing into a tform. Julian had instructed her to use Hydro Pump as soon as Crawdaunt breaks the Protective shield whit telepathy and so she did. Crawdaunt shook its head and got back into the water and looked at Milotic, it didn''t expect Milotic to attack with such a powerful Hydro Pump, even though it is resistant to water type moves it still received some damage by getting smashed through a hard tform. Julian "Milotic use Ice Beam" Crawdaunt is resistance to Ice-type move as well but Julian has other ideas. Miloticunched a powerful Ice Beam towards Crawdaunt as its chilling coldness could be felt around it. Juan "Crawdaunt dive underwater" And so Crawdaunt dove underwater and escaped the Ice Beam, Milotic hit the water surface and froze it but she didn''t stop, she continued until she created spiky ice field above on its frozen surface. Juan "Crawdaunt use Crab Hammer" Crawdaunt swan towards Milotic once again as its nig ws glowed. Julian "Milotic now, Disarming Voice" As Crawdaunt got closer to Milotic she used Disarming voice, she opened her mount and called out a noise which created a wave of energy st which his sent Crawdaunt flying towards the Icy spikes. As Disarming Voice is a fairy type move it caused a lot of damage. Julian "Now Hydro Pump" Milotic used Hydro Pump and sted Crawdaunt through those Icy spikes and into the wall behind the battlefield and it fainted. Butler "Crawdaunt is unable to battle, Milotic wins" Juan "Looks like I am on myst pokemon, Go Kingdra" Juan sent out hisst pokemon, Kingdra, it is a powerful Water/Dragon type pokemon. Julian "Milotice back" Julian called back Milotic and took out a Pokeball and tossed it up in the air. Julian "Let''s go Vibrava" Julian sent out Vibrava as he was the closest to evolution and this battle will definitely help him evolve. Juan "Kingdra use Dragon Pulse" Juan went straight away with the attack, but it was useless Vibrava moved away from his spot with just a quick p of his wings. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse as well" Vibrava sent a powerful Dragon Pulse towards Kingdra. Juan "Dive down" Kingdra went inside the water and escaped the Dragon Pulse, the Dragon Pulsended on the water surface causing it to explode and water sprayed everywhere. Juan "Ice Beam" Kingdraunched a powerful Ice Beam from underwater itself, Vibrava moved away once again and dodged it. Kingdra kept hiding underwater andunch attacks at Vibrava, Vibrava wasn''t able to attack as Kingdra is hiding underwater. Julian ''This is getting annoying'' Julian "Use Gust" Vibrava lifted himself up in the air and started to p his wings rapidly, as he did so wind started to rise up, the humming of his wings could be easily heard as they wind grew stronger and stronger. Vibrava intensified his action and pped faster and faster, the water in the battlefield started to thrash around making it impossible for Kingdra to stay underwater for long, while Kingdra was struggling to get a grip underwater, Vibrava started to glow, the instance use of Gust seems to activate the Evolution process. Vibrava started to evolve and his body grew significantly longer. A long and thick tail emerged with small three wings like structure at the end of it. His body grew bigger along with his wings, his head also went through the same changes and two small horns became thicker and longer. Vibrava finally evolved into Flygon.

Ability - Levitate (Unlocked) ____________________ Julian ''Great, now time to end this'' Julian "Flygon, continue using Gust" Flygon did as Julian said and continued using Gust, this time the power behind it was massive, it caused the water to crash out of the battlefield and Kingdra was finally out of the water as it had be very troublesome, but it was still not safe outside, the waves were wild and moved in a random direction. Julian "Now, Dragon Pulse" Flygon aimed andunched a powerful Dragon Pulse towards Kingdra but due to the waves it missed but it still worked in Flygon''s favor, due to the impact of the Dragon Pulse on the water Kingdra was tossed up in the air and Julian didn''t miss this chance. Julian "Now, Dragon Rush" Flygon got covered by enormous Dragon energy and he shot towards Kingdra with full power, the blue Dragon energy turned into a shape of a real dragon and Flygon hit Kingdra head-on sending it shooting down the air and crashing into the stone tform and into the water. Kingdra was now deep underwater, Juan and the butler were carefully looking at the water surface and slowly Kingdra surfaced back to the top but it was unconscious, thatst Dragon Rush dealt the finishing blow. Butler "Kingdra is unable to battle, Flygon wins, hence the winner of this battle is challenger Julian" Juan called back Kingdra and walked towards Julian. Juan "Congrattion, here this is the Rain Badge" Julian "Thankyou" Julian took it and kept it in his pocket. Juan "Sir Julian how about you join me for a cup of tea" Julian knew what Juan was trying to do but he decided to go with the flow and follow him. Julian "Sure, why not" Juan "Williams go and prepare some tea" Juan said to the butler and the butler nodded and walked away. Juan "Please follow me" He said to Julian and escorted him to his main hall. Chapter 160 - Talking With Juan As they arrived in the main hall Juan made Julian sit on the couch, soon the butler came in with a tray, it had some cups with and a teapot on it, the butler ced the cup in front of him and poured the tea in it, he did the same with Juan and walked away. Juan "This tea is special, its leaves are grown by the finest tea harvesters in Hoenn" ?? Julian took a sip and he liked it, it had a very different taste than any tea he had ever tasted. Julian "It''s quite good" Juan "I am in relief, that you liked it" Julian "So can we talk about why you called me?" Julian didn''t want to waste time and went straight to the point. Juan looked a Julian and sighed. Juan "I want to ask you something?" Julian "What is it?" Juan "Are you the person that was seen on Mt. Pyre the day during the lightning storm" Julian looked at Juan, he knew someone will be able to figure it by now so he has nothing to hide. Julian "Yes it was me" Juan "Was that your pokemon?" Julian "Yes" Juan "What is it?" Julian "Mega form of one of my pokemon''s" Juan "I see, so you knew about Mega Evolution beforehand" Julian "Not only me there are several people out there that already know what is mega evolution" Juan "Who could they be?" Julian "The Shadow Legion" Juan frowned when he heard this, he didn''t expect Shadow Legion had such information, the league has not told them about Mega Evolution but they Shadows knew about it. Juan saw red gs after hearing Julian. Julian "Hoenn is very chaotic right now, I don''t know how you wille out of this" Juan "I see that you are already informed about the issue, I ask you to help us" Julian "I think you don''t understand me properly Mr. Juan, I resigned from my position as a champion as I am not the right person to manage a whole region, I don''t like getting involved in matters rted to anything that is the elites of the region, it is your people''s responsibility to take care of Hoenn as you people are in charge of it, you cannot rely on others." Saying so Julian got up and started to walk away, he stopped and turned at Juan once again. Julian "But if things go south I will step in because no matter what reason innocent people don''t deserve the pain and suffering caused by some idiotic ideologies, and I wish Mr. Juan to keep my identity as a secret, even from the league" He then walked out of the room where the butler was standing, he escorted Julian out of the mansion. Back inside the mansion, Juan sat on the couch and sighed, he was not able to get Julian to help them but he was still relieved that Julian maye to the rescue if people''s lives are in danger. Juan ''He also said to keep his identity as a secret, even though he said it to me, why did he do so, he could have denied it'' Juan thought for a while and sighed. Juan ''Well now that he has told me to hide his identity I have to do it or I may lose his trust, his backing will be very crucial if Hoenn is in a state like this again'' Juan decided to tell others that Julian and that person are twopletely different people as he valued Julian''s power more than anything, he knew Julian''s standing is the highest amongst all the champions, even though he hasn''t been in public, every champion knows how strong he is and everyone wants a battle with him, even his student Wace is one of them, too bad he hasn''t had a chance to meet Julian. ___________________ Julian walked out of the mansion and went back to his hotel room so that he could rest for the day, he then tagged along with Daisy around the city, she wanted to do some shopping. After a day Julian decided to go in search for Mega Stones as Sootopolis is the richest source for Mega Stones and Keystones. Daisy tagged along with him as he also wanted to find some for herself as well. He decided to go towards the west side of the forest as some rumors were heard that some people found Mega Stones with resonated with some Grass-type Pokemons, he decided to go and look around if he could find Sceptile''s Mega Stone. His Pokemons who didn''t have their own Mega Stone are, Infernape, Heatran, Snox, Sceptile, Pupitar, Gardevoir, Milotic, Flygon, and Absol. The ones who have Mega Stones are, Gyarados, Venusaur, Electivire, Gengar, Pidgeot, Kabutops, Metagross. ___________________ Julian and Daisy reached the forest where it said the Mega Stones were found. After searching for a while, Julian and Daisy came across a waterfall which looked very beautiful. Daisy "Who it''s so beautiful, why don''t we rest here for a while then we can continue looking for them" Julian "Ok then" Julian released his pokemons so they could enjoy the scenery as well, as he released them most of them entered the waterfall and started to y around. Julian noticed that he and Infernape''s bond had reached a new realm, he couldn''t understand what is going on, the system showed it as 100% but he could even tell what Infernape is thinking just by looking at him and so did Infernape. He felt as if their soul were connected. ____________________ Leaving that aside Milotic noticed something as she was swimming in the water she felt something attracting her, she quickly went towards Julian to tell him. Julian "You found something?" Milotic nodded as her eyes sparkled. Julian "Gyarados go and check what she found" Julian told Gyarados to follow her, Milotic dived down and Gyarados followed behind, Kabutops also joined them as he wanted to look underwater as well. Soon the three found a cave deep inside theke, luckily the cave was big enough to fit Gyarados in, all three entered the cave and looked around they saw blue crystals on the walls, they were actually Water Stones, Milotic went deep inside and finally found the source that was attracting her, it was a Mega Stone, it is a white marble with pink and blue pattern with a little ck in the middle of those two color. Milotic got excited and charged towards the Mega Stone and was about to take it when an Ice Beam was shot towards her, she quickly dodged it and looked at her attacker, it was an another Milotic, it looked like it was guarding this Mega Stone. Gyarados looked at this Milotic and did nothing, he wanted Milotic to get the Mega Stone on her own. The other Milotic turned around and looked at the huge Gyarados on the side and got scared seeing him but it didn''t sense any dangering from his so it was not bothered, it had to defend its price position from this new Milotic which just appeared. Soon itunched an another Ice Beam which froze the water on its way, Milotic dodged it and shot a powerful Hydro Pump at the other Milotic. The Battle for the Mega Stone has begun. Chapter 161 - Battle For The Mega Stone Milotic made a swift movement towards her opponent and swung her tail at it using Dragon Tail, the opposing Milotic used Aqua Tail to counter the Dragon Tail, as the two attacks met it caused repulse in the water which caused the tiny pokemons who were watching them battle roll over their back. They got excited and got back to their feet to watch the battle. ?? Julian''s Milotic used Ice Beam in close range and caught her opponent by surprise but it didn''t have much effect as it is an ice type move, Milotic created some distance in the meantime from her opponent and shot a powerful Water Pulse at it. The opposing Milotic also used Water Pulse to counter the Water Pulse and the sh between these caused another wave of repulse in the water. The tiny pokemons who were around watching are loving it, some even were sitting on Gyarados and Kabutops''s head as they didn''t realize it because Gyarados and Kabutops had not made a single movement andpletely erased their presence, the tiny pokemons thought they are huge sculptures and sat on their head as they watch the battle. Gyarados and Kabutops aren''t bothered by this and continued looking at Milotic. ________________ Milotic shot towards the Mega Stone to get a hold of it but the opposing Milotic chased after her and intercepted her. Seeing her Opponent in front of her, Milotic swung her Tail and used Dragon Tail once again and this time it connected, the opposing Milotic was sent back crashing into a wall but it soon recovered as it used Aqua Ring. It suddenlyunched a Hydro Pump towards Milotic, since she was too close to dodge it she used Mirror Coat, the Attack hit her and sent her crashing into the wall but she quickly sent her own Hydro Pump which is now powerful than ever due to Mirror Coat, the Hydro Pump hit the opposition Milotic and mmed it onto a rock which is underwater, on the surface, the opposing Milotic is hurt and it cannot continue battling after taking that damage so it submits to Milotic. Milotic then happily goes towards the Mega Stone and tried to remove it from the wall but she isn''t able to, it looked like the crystal which is holding it is deeply rooted into the wall, she tried to break the wall and uses Dragon tail but it was no use the wall was extremely tough for no reason, it is mostly due to the energy supplied by the Mega Stone that the wall became more sturdy over the time. Seeing that she isn''t able to remove the Mega Stone she looked at her previous opponent and it also had the same reaction as her, it had tried to remove it before but it was no use or it would have already taken away the stone and went away. Seeing there was no way to take out the Mega Stone from the wall, Milotic looked at Gyarados and called him. Hearing her call Gyarados moved, the tiny pokemon who were on top of his head were startled and ran away and looked at Gyarados to finally realized that he was a living breathing Gyarados and that to a humongous one. Gyarados moved towards the wall and looked at the Mega Stone, the other Milotic was scared by Gyarados presence but it soon calms down as Gyarados didn''t give any attention to it. Gyarados moves his head back a little and ms into the wall, suddenly the wall cracks and the crystal which is holding the Mega Stone fell down and to their surprised the Crystal hold two simr looking Mega Stones. Milotic looked at her opponent looking at the Mega Stones and decided to give it one, Milotic were of tender in nature, they would always try to help others unless they are in some kind of danger or it is rted to their own benefit. She then looked at Kabutops and called him, Kabutops also moved and the pokemons on his head were also startled and ran away, Kabutops approached the crystal and shed it into two pieces, separating the two mega stones. Milotic took one of them and handed it over to her opponent, she then took her Mega Stone and left with Gyarados and Kabutops. __________________ Outside the waterfall Julian, Daisy and his pokemons were having their lunch, suddenly Milotic emerged from the water and headed towards Julian and handed over the Mega Stone to him. Julian was surprised seeing this. Julian "Oh you found a Mega Stone, lucky you" Julian patted Milotic and gave her some snacks. Julian "Just wait for a few days and I will clear up the crystal and get the Mega Stone out of it" Daisy "I will make a beautiful looking holder for it, you leave that to me" Julian "Great, now everyone finish of your meals so that we can find some more Mega Stones." ___________________ The lunch was over Snox is sleeping and Flygon is sleeping on him, they have grown a lot closer as they eat a lot andpete with each other but the winner is always Snox. Heatran as always with Infernape training their control over their fire element, Heatran specifically was trying to fuse his steel and fire energy to create a new type of move but it is very hard to do so. Gengar always trained Gardevoir on how to perfect her psychic energy. Absol was doing his own training and Julian always gave him more attention as he didn''t have any other dark type pokemon, he will have one in the future but it will take time for Pupitar to evolve into Tyranitar. After some training and digesting the lunch, they had Julian decided to move forward and continue with searching for Mega Stones. He knows he can find at least Sceptile''s Mega Stone as there is so much greenery here in Sootopolis city. After roaming around the grass fields he finally found a Mega Stone under a tree root but it didn''t resonate with any of his pokemon, the Mega Stone was yellow in color with blue, orange and red pattern in it. Julian decided to keep it and see if it wille handy to him in some situation. After searching for a day there was no luck, so they decided to return to the hotel and look for it tomorrow. Next day Julian went alone as Daisy was busy making a new holder for Milotic so she needs some time to think of a design then execute it. Julian went back to the west side of the forest and started looking for it, he had Sceptile outside as it will be easy for him to search for it. After roaming around for a while Sceptile''s sensed something. Julian "Did you sense something?" Sceptile nodded and ran towards the direction, after a while, they arrived in front of a tree but it was toote for them, they saw a man take out a crystal from the underground and it had a Mega Stone in it, he has a Heracross beside him as well. Sceptile saw the Mega Stone inside the crystal was got excited, it was resonating with him, it even stimted the dragon aura inside him. Julian "Looks like we are a littlete" Man "Hahahahaha, I finally found one, a Mega Stone, Heracross does it have any effect on you?" The man asked as he showed the Mega Stone to his Heracross, the Heracross looked at the Mega Stone and shook his head. Man "Too bad, but still we are gonna be rich, hahaha" The man said and turned around and saw Julian and Sceptile standing behind him, he quickly hit the Mega Stone behind him and stared at Julian. Man "Are you one of those Mega Stone thieves, no matter what you do I won''t give this to you" Julian was dumbfounded by this man. Julian "You got me wrong, I came here because my Sceptile sensed that a Mega Stone that resonates with his is here, but it looks like its already toote" Man "So this is a Mega Stone for Sceptile?" Julian "Yes, can you give it to me, I think I have the perfect thing in exchange for it" Julian took out the Mega Stone he found yesterday and showed it to him, his Heracross suddenly got excited seeing the Mega Stone in Julian''s hand, Julian sensed that the Mega Stone he found yesterday had the same aura as Heracross''s. Julian "Look I have a Mega Stone that will help your Heracross Mega Evolve" Man "Is that even real? Are you trying to scam me?" Julian "Look at your Heracross and then ask" Hearing Julian the man turned around and looked at his Heracross to find it looking at Julian''s hand excitedly. Man "Heracross does it resonate with you?" His Heracross nodded at him. The man looked at Julian and smiled. Man "Its a deal then" He gave the Sceptilite to Jason and took the Heracronite. Julian "Thank you we will be going then" Man "Wait let''s have a battle using Mega Evolution" Julian "Do you have a Key Stone?" Man "of course I do" He shed his Mega Ring to Julian. Julian "Ok then" Julian ''I get to test it already huh?'' Chapter 162 - The Disaster Is Coming? Salven "My name is Salven and this is my partner, Heracross, we have been together since I was in my twenties" Julian "My name is Julian and this is my partner Sceptile" ?? Salven "Heracross let''s go" Julian "Sceptile, get ready" Salven "I will go first" Salven shed his Mega Ring and light emitted out of it, the Mega Stone that Heracross soon started to glow and it started to Mega Evolve. Its horns separated into two one above its head and one in front of its face as grew thicker along with its body, its hands grew thicker and stronger as well, while its carapace changedpletely. Heracross evolved into Mega Heracross, seeing it Salven got excited. Salven "You look so cool" Julian nodded as well, at first Heracross looked like a rhinoceros beetle but now he looks like a Hercules beetle, Julian remembered how rare these beetles were back in his previous life and kids would go crazy to just catch one. Julian "Sceptile, it''s our turn" Saying so Julian shed his Keystone on his neck and it emitted a bright light, the Mega Stone which Sceptile was holding started to glow as well and Sceptile started to mega evolve. The des on his body started to grow longer and sharper, the edges on his Leaf des changed color to yellow, the strip on his belly also changed into yellow, also the stripes on his tail, the end of his tail have a tree-shaped which could detach andunch an attack by itself. The seeds on his back turned yellow as well but the bottom ones are still red, his blue skin looked bright under the direct sunlight has given him a majestic feeling.

Ability - Lightning Rod (Unlocked) ____________________ Julian ''His ability changed to Lightning Rod, he is now immune to Electric-type moves as well, and it will also increase his special attack'' Julian was happy with this Mega Evolution. Salven "Wow your Mega Sceptile looks cool as well" Julian nodded and didn''t reply. Salven "Then let''s battle I want to see how powerful My Heracross is now" Salven "Heracross use Mega Horn" Heracross charged towards Sceptile as its two horns glow green. Salven could already notice how powerful his Heracross''s move is right now than before Julian "Sceptile dodge and use you Tail as a Missile" Sceptile jumps up and sts his tail missile with full power towards Heracross. Heracross didn''t expect the tail toe off, the tail his Heracross and pushed it back but Heracross is too powerful and stopped the Tail in mid-air but forgets about Sceptile is above. Salven "Heracross quickly move" Heracross hears Salven but he is still holding the tail and its hard to move with it. Julian "Sceptile use Dragon Pulse" Sceptileunches a powerful Dragon Pulse towards Heracross and sends it flying backward, Sceptile''s tail end return back to his tail. Salven "Heracross quick, use Focus Punch" Julian "Sceptile let''s finish this, use Arial Ace" Heracross ran towards Sceptile with its most powerful attack but Sceptile suddenly moved away and appeared behind Heracross and used Arial Ace, it sent Heracross crashing into a tree and it lost its Mega Form and fainted. Salven sighed seeing this. Salven "Wow, you are a very strong trainer and your Sceptile is awesome as well" Julian "Thank you, I will be going then" Sceptile turned back to his normal form and gave the Mega Stone to Julian, taking the Mega Stone he returned Sceptile back to his Pokeball and decided to go back for the day. On his way, he went to the pokemon center to give a quick checkup for his pokemons and went back to his hotel, when he reached his hotel room he saw Daisy looking at the TV with a worried expression. Julian "What''s going on?" Daisy "Look" Daisy pointed towards the screen, a news channel is showing something. News Anchor "The water level is rising significantly for these past few days in the southern cities, people have been already evacuated if this continues in a few days half of Hoenn will be underwater, the reason behind this is because the magma in Mt. Chimney have gone underground and the volcanic activity ispletely stopped, the water that enters Hoenn is not getting borated by this magma and the water level is continuously rising, we don''t know the reason why the water level is rising but without Mt. Chimney it will keep on rising and drown the whole Hoenn" Julian frowned hearing this, he knew why the water is rising, even though Kyogre is in slumber its presence alone will increase the water, that is why the presence of the Mt. Chimney is there to bnce it, he was certain that Groudon is in slumber under Hoenn but he didn''t know where, if this continues both of them will wake up, Team Aqua have done their deed and he couldn''t stop them as he was taking care of Shadows that time around, he didn''t think that the league couldn''t pull it off. As he looked at the TV screen noticed that the TV anchor received new information. News Anchor "Ah, we just received a new, the people living in Lavaridge city and the towns around Mt. Chimney are being evacuated quickly, the scientist present on the site noticed a sudden fluctuation of heat wave there and signs of Earthquake to appear, it seems that the Volcano is about to erupt, it is good news as well as bad, the volcanic eruption will help the situation will the rising water level but it will alsopletely destroy the towns and city around it" Julian frowned seeing this. Julian ''Something is off'' He looked at the video being yed on the screen which showed Mt. Chimney, sometime it would shake slightly and tiny rocks will roll down sometimes. News Anchor "The scientists have not yet figured out why the Volcano suddenly got active but they expect it would erupt in three to four days" Julian sat down next to Daisy and took the remote from her, he changed to another news channel which is located in the south of Hoenn to see what they are reporting. News Anchor "As you see the water level is rising at an extreme speed right now and we have no idea what is happening, Dewford Ind ispletely drowned underwater and the south of Hoenn maind is also facing the same problem, the beaches in teport city ispletely covered with water and it will soon enter the city, people have already been moved to the north." Julian frowned once again, this was worst than he thought, even though its good that the volcano will soon erupt but the water is rising at a rapid pace. Julian ''I have to do something'' Chapter 163 - Its Closer Than Ever Julian didn''t know what to do, he could only wait and watch, even though he and his pokemons are extremely strong, the forces of nature aren''t something to be trifled with, he is confident in holding back super ancient pokemons that are thousand years old but he not sure if he could defeat them. When the forces of nature retaliate nothing can get in their path, humans, and pokemons are just ants. ?? Julian "Don''t watch these stuff, it will just make to depress, the Hoenn elites will take care of it so don''t worry" Daisy "Ok" Julian switched off the TV and hugged Daisy to calm her down. Julian "I hope Chloe is alright" Daisy "Don''t worry she will be fine, she has a strong Pokemon beside her" Julian nodded and looked outside and the sunny sky, he knew this is the calm before the storm. __________________ In LaRousse city, inside the Shadow Legion hideout, Brad the Boss of Shadow Legion is looking at the report in front of him, a man wearing sses and white coat is standing opposite to him. Brad "Is this true?" Brad asked the scientist in front of him. Scientist "Yes Boss, these readings are off the charts, the two will soon awaken, one is being stimted by the other''s aura, if one wakes up the other will do the same" Brad "If they wake up will ite as well?" Scientist "Unfortunately we aren''t getting any reading from it, it might not even be in this, but there is a weaker one protecting thend but its no match for those two" Brad "It''s still a Legendary Pokemon, even though it''s younger and weaker than the one we are after, it better for us, the weaker it is the easier for us to control it" Scientist "Yes boss" Brad "Did they get the Green Crystal that was in thebs" Scientist "No, the mission given to the grunt named Chloe was thest person to see it but she disappeared after reporting that she infiltrated the research facility, we tried to contact her but she is not to be found anywhere, and the crystal the league took it from theb and stored it in a highly guarded facility here in LaRousse city" Brad "Can''t anyone steal it, send Admins if possible" Scientist "We did send one but he was captured by the League, they have some powerful amongst them" Brad clicked his tongue in frustration. Brad "Leave the crystal, for now, did that bitch tell who it was that ruined our ns" Scientist "No boss, she is saying the same exact thing, she said that person is your friend, she even said he told that personally to her" Brad "What bullshit, I don''t have any friends" Scientist "She also said that he was wearing a long ck coat and mask. Brad "ck coat? who could it be that wears a ck coat, who could it be that is enemies with me" Brad started to think and he suddenly realized. Brad "Wait, it can''t be him, I totally forgot about him, if he really is here we are in huge trouble" Scientist "Boss who is it?" Brad "None of your concern, get back to work" The scientist nodded and walked out of his office. Brad suddenly started to sweat. Brad "No it can''t be him, I am screwed" Brad realized another thing and quickly opened the footage of Mt. Pyre''s lightning storm and looked at the person wearing a ck coat and Mask. Brad "It really is him, what do I do, why is he here in Hoenn?" Brad is panicking right now, he knew it is Julian, he was not able to sleep for months because he thought Julian would one day appear and destroy everything rted to him after he became the champion, he couldn''t sleep at night worried when a huge Hyper Beam would hit his base. But when he heard Julian resign from his champion post he felt relieved and got back to his n but now it was all over, Julian is here and he is terrified, he regretted trying to assassinate Julian. Brad "Wait there is still a chance it might not be him, I don''t have to worry, hahahaha" Brad was now relying on false hope, he has lost it. ___________________ Ever Grande City, the elite four and the champion Wace are sitting around a table with a frown on their faces. Sidney "What do we do, they will wake up from their slumbers, we don''t know what kind of power they hold and how much damage they will cause" cia "What did the previous champion of Kanto say" Wace "He said he won''t interfere unless people''s lives are in danger, he said Hoenn''s elites are the one responsible for Hoenn''s safety" Sidney "What? Doesn''t he care, all thends that will be destroyed" Drake "No, he is right, it doesn''t matter if he joins us or not, it''s our ipetent that we let this happen, now we cannot go and ask help for things we did wrong" Sidney became silent. Phoebe "Should we use the orbs?" Drake "That is the only way" Wace "The orbs are kept safe in Sootopolis city right now, my teacher has locked them inside the cave of origin, the power inside will help us contain the orbs" Drake "We are just humans, we are helpless when the forces of nature are angered, we can only hope that they don''t cause destruction and go back to their slumber. cia "I hope so as well" Their meeting ended as the day came to an end, the night was calm but not all of Hoenn, Lavaridge city is going through miniature earthquakes every hour and the southern sea is bing aggressive as waves have been starting to rise. Chapter 164 - Its Here! The condition of Hoenn is worst than Julian expected, the water level is rising significantly and half of teport city is drowned underwater, Little root town ispletely underwater now. Julian could sense the two huge amount of aura being released clearly, he knew the time hase step up and do something. ?? Julian ''These aura being released isn''t something anyone can handle'' For the first time, Julian was sensing something that was above his capabilities, he could easily tell that the behemoths were awakening and they would destroy everything in their path and continue doing the task that they were assigned to until they are stopped again and if they cross path with each other it would be a cmity that no one can escape from. The auras that he is sensing right now ising from Mt. Chimney and other from the south of Hoenn. Julian ''Luckily the elites acted fast and evacuated the people from the south, Sootopolis is safe as the walls are higher than anynd in Hoenn so people here are safe, but the cities and town near Lavaridge city are in danger'' Julian is currently looking at the TV in which they are currently showing the flood that is taking ce in teport city through a chopper. Julian ''I cannot simply sit and watch I have to do something'' Julian stood up and walked out. Daisy "Where are you going?" Julian "I will be leaving Sootopolis cities for a few days, I want you to stay here" Daisy "I will go with you" Julian "No, it''s dangerous where I am going, so stay here" Daisy "But?" Julian "No buts, just stay here, I wille back safely" Daisy nodded and is sad but Julian doesn''t have time to worry about her, he had to deal with the current situation. Julian walked out of the hotel and got in his bike and drove off towards the forest side. After he reached the forest he took out his mask and the red coat and wore it, he then took out the Eon flute and blew it, suddenly sonic booms could be heard and Latios charged towards Julian with full speed. Latios levitated in front of him and he had a worried face, Latios could also sense the disastering and he is worried about it as well. Julian "Don''t worry, I will look into it" Julian patted Latios head and hopped on to him as they flew towards Mt. Chimney. Latios tore through the air and Julian used Omniforce to keep himself on Latios, even though he is on Latios it will take time. When Latios and Julian finally arrived on Mt. Chimney, Julian is shocked by seeing what is in front of his eyes, the temperature is so high around here that the nts and trees are burning, there is no sign of life around here, all the pokemons living in this area has already left, the few scientists who are working here are wearing special suits which are protecting them front the extremely hot radiating heat. Julian ''This is madness, their powers are way above my expectations. Of course, they are ancient legendary pokemons, that created thend and the sea and finally stopped after creating Hoenn. They are the first to ever be created of their species, they have lived for who knows how long'' Julian now understood the thing he saw on a screen ispletely different from the ones he is going to face, they will be stronger and bigger than the ones he has seen in his previous life. Julian sighed. Julian ''No matter what I want I cannot change fate, I wanted peace and quiet but I ended up here, right now, ready to do something really stupid'' Julian isughing at his fate right now, he understood that as he entered this world everything started to change, his fate also changed when he decided toe to this world, at first he killed to survive, now he had to fight for others survival. Julian ''Well let''s get over with this quickly and peace and quiet will return to my life once again'' Julian thought and patted Latios head and signaled him to go down, as hended the scientists were startled by his appearance. Few of them recognized him from the Mt. Pyre video. Julian "All of you leave, it is dangerous to stay here anymore" Scientist "But we are in the middle of our research" Julian "Do you want to die?" Scientist "N..No" Julian "Then everybody gets lost from Mt. Chimney it will erupt and none of you will survive even with your protective suits on" The scientists looked at each other and nodded, they decided to leave as they felt scared of Julian, after an hour the site was clear, the scientists have left with all the equipment s. Julian ''This area is cleared now let''s go and see the south'' Julian ordered Latios to fly south and so he did, he shot through the air and headed towards teport city. When Julian arrived there he saw choppers on the outskirts of teport city, they were all news channel choppers. Julian ''Idiots, they don''t even know how dangerous it is here'' Latios flew forwards and Julian saw how half of teport city is underwater, the market ce he saw waspletely underwater. He noticed a few choppers flying around and filming as the rain started to pour in. Julian ''This is bad, it''s raining now'' Julian already figured out what is happening, the aura from Groudon also woke up Kyogre and it increased its power to bring forth the heavy rain, he suddenly noticed the sudden spike of energying from Mt. Chimney. They are trying to disy their powers. By now Julian knew both of them were already awake and it won''t take long before theye out of theirirs. Julian moved in front of the choppers and looked at them, the sudden appearance of Julian caused the people inside the chopper to get startled and they quickly started filming Julian. Julian "You all get out of here, it''s dangerous" Reporters "Mister, who are you? What are you doing here, are you the same person that appeared over Mt. Pyre during the lightning storm, what was that pokemon which was with you" Julian was suddenly bombarded with questions and this ticked of Julian. Julian''s eyes turned cold and he released a heavy pressure on them. Julian "Leave right now, but if you have a death wish I don''t care anymore" The pressure from Julian suffocated them and soon they left the area in their choppers in fear of Julian. Seeing them leave Julian sighed in relief but it didn''tst long, he suddenly felt it a very powerful gaze looking at him from underwater. Julian looked down at the raging waves, he knew it was Kyogre, only it could have such a strong gaze. But this is not the only thing, he felt the spike of energy from Mt. Chimney double than before and it finally happened. The volcano erupted, it shook the whole Hoenn as mes rose high in the sky and ck smoke covered the sky. Suddenly the sky became bright and the sunlight turned harsh. Julian "It''s here" XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX A/N - I think some of you are really underestimating Groudon and Kyogre, they are not just a blue ice hen, a rooster on fire and a zapped bird. They are the pokemons that created the whole pokemon world''snd and see, they alone walked and swam across the whole to creatend and water. Forget what they showed in the anime and in games, Anime was PG so they didn''t go extreme with any legendary pokemon fights and in games, you need to defeat them toplete the game. Maybe Groudon and Kyogre are not on par with the creation trio but they are still capable of causing a natural disaster. Chapter 165 - Groudon And Kyogre (1) At Ever Grande city, Wace is standing above a tower and looking at the huge smoke cloud above Mt. Chimney, he knew something inevitable is happening and he and the elites have to take action right now. Suddenly Steven Stone appeared next to him on his Skarmory. ?? Wace "Steven, you are here, your help will be of great value right now" Steven "Don''t worry, Hoenn is my home as well I want to protect it" Wace "Great, lets head out then, the elites are already heading towards Fortree city, everyone is gathering there, we should go too" Steven "Ok, then Skarmory let''s go" They got on Skarmory''s back and flew away towards Fortree city. ___________________ As Julian saw the huge eruption of Volcano, he knew he has to stop Groudon as it can cause more damage than Kyogre to Hoenn. Julian "Latios full speed towards Mt. Chimney" Latios nodded and charged towards Mt. Chimney, Julian turned back and looked at the raging waves, he knows he cannot ignore Kyogre but Groudon is the real threat right now. When he reached Mt. Chimney again he could feel the harsh sunlight falling on thend, Julian used Omniforce to cover himself from it and looked at the huge Volcano, he suddenly felt the ground shaking, it felt like huge steps being taken. The ground shook at every interval between 1-3 seconds. As Julian looked at the Volcano, he finally saw it, its huge head slowly surfaced out of the volcano opening, a huge Red Head came out, its sharp gaze locked onto Julian, its snout is pointy as sharp de-like armor went over its head, its full body is covered with thick red scales that act as an armor, every teeth in its mouth is razor sharp and sits crisscross to each other. Groudon is standing 14 meters tall from head to feet, it has sharp spikes on the sides and its ws are massive, one w is bigger than Julian. Julian could feel the power of the huge Groudon in front of him, it is overwhelming, Julian didn''t expect it to be so huge, in some records it was specified that Groudon would stand from 7-9 meters but right now the Groudon in front of him is 14 meters standing and from head to tail its easily 16 meters. Groudon looked at Julian and could feel mysterious energy surrounding him, Groudon thought its an enemy and started to charge up Sr Beam for an attack. Julian was startled by Groudon''s behavior. Julian ''Looks like it wants to attack'' Julian "Snoxes out" Julian called out Snox and Snox came out of his Pokeball and started falling towards the ground, Snox didn''t panic and simplynded on the ground, as hended he caused a mini earthquake and the ground shattered below his feet. Seeing a pokemon in front of it, Groudon shot the charged up Sr Beam towards Snox, the power behind this Sr Beam is devastating, it even distorted the air in its way. Julian "Snox you too, use Sr Beam" Luckily due to that harsh sunlight, Snox''s Sr Beam charged up in a second and he shot it towards the iing Sr Beam. Snox used his full power or the first time as he knew the pokemon in front of him isn''t normal, his Sr Beam also was very powerful, it also distorted the air in its way. The two Sr Beam shed and the aftermath was never ever seen before, the huge explosion that urred after this attack destroyed everything in the surroundings, Julian quickly took action and used all his power topletely block off the explosion from leaving the vicinity of Lavaridge town. Julian didn''t cover the top because he cannot store that much power inside his dome, the st went through the sky and ripped the clouds open and into space itself. Everything was reduced to ashes and only Snox and Groudon were standing, Julian is on Latios and he protected Latios from the bacsh as well. Julian ''I cannot counter like that or it will destroy everything in the surroundings'' ___________________ At Fortree city everybody was startled seeing the huge st that ripped through the sky and went into space. All the gym leaders and Elite four were present in Fortree city looked at it with a frown. Drake "Its is something created by the collision of two attacks, someone is fighting Groudon" Steven "Strange, if it is an explosion why hasn''t the bacsh traveled through thends?" Drake "Look up" Everyone looked up and saw clouds slowly been blown away from Hoenn. Drake "Something blocked the explosion at ground level so it doesn''t harm the people" Wace "We cannot go there, the energy there is extreme, none of our pokemons could survive that much power" Sidney "Then what do we do?" Wace "We can just hope that the person who is fighting it is able to subdue it, till that time we should separate and help out moving people around the vicinity away to a safe ce, I think Sootopolis city is the safest ce to go right now" Drake "Everyone, get ready" As they are about to move they saw someone flying towards them at full speed, a man wearing a cape with red hair and he is riding a huge Dragonite. Wace "Thank god he is here" Drake "I see you called Lance" Lance came and his Dragonitended in front of them. Lance "What was that explosion?" Steven "Groudon has awakened, and somebody is fighting it" Lance looked at the direction where the explosion urred. Lance "I will go and take a look" Sidney "You shouldn''t the energy level is too high, I don''t think you will be able to stand a chance" Lance "Don''t worry I will just check from above ande back and inform you guys what is happening" Saying so Lance flew towards the direction of Mt. Chimney with his Dragonite. _____________________ While Lance was about to reach Mt. Chimney. South of Hoenn, under the raging sea, Kyogre roared and a huge blue pir of light shot the sky and a huge storm started, the water in the ocean became crazy and Kyogre jumped out of the water, revealing its shiny blue scales. It started to move towards Sootopolis city slowly as the massive storm followed it. Chapter 166 - Lance Arrives To Help Julian is looked down on Groudon and Snox where Groudon is continuously attacking with Sr Beam and Snox is deflecting it while using Fire Punches. Julian knows this cannot continue, he has to put a stop to this beast. ?? As he was thinking about what to do he suddenly noticed the blue light reaching the sky and the ck storm clouds umting south of Hoenn. Julian ''Shit, Kyogre is on the move'' As Groudon''s Sr beam got deflected by Snox''s Fire Punch, Groudon suddenly stopped and looked at the blue light and released an earth-shattering roar. It suddenly ignored Snox and started to move again. Julian "Where is it going?" Julian looked at the direction Groudon is going and frowned. Julian ''It''s moving towards Sootopolis city, is it after the orbs? if that''s the case it is going to be troublesome'' Julian ''I have to stop it, but why did it suddenly start moving?'' Julian ''Wait? It can''t be? It sensed Kyogre''s aura wanted to reach Sootopolis city before Kyogre, it means Kyogre is also heading there. This is bad'' Julian didn''t know who to go after, he is now in a dilemma, but he suddenly noticed someoneing towards him. Julian recognized Lance and sighed in relief. When Lance reached there he saw a man in a red coat and mask standing on a Latios and a huge Snox down below, he recognized this Snox and a huge red pokemon standing 14 meters tall walking towards Sootopolis city. Lance "Julian?" Julian nodded and looked at Lance. Julian "Lance, I want you to stop Groudon in its path, don''t let it reach Sootopolis city, get help from the elites and Wace to slow it down as much as possible, I have to go and stop Kyogre, it is also on the move right now" Lance carefully listened to Julian, Lance looked at the huge storm far away in the south and knew Julian was right, he cannot be at two ces at the same time. Lance "Ok, you go and stop Kyogre, I will see how I can stop Groudon in its path" Julian "Good, Snox return, Latios let''s go" Latios shot towards the direction of the storm leaving behind Lance and his Dragonite. Lance looked at Groudon and told his Dragonite to move forwards and block Groudon. Dragonite flew forward and attacked with Dragon Pulse at Groudon, seeing the iing attack Groudon roared and pped it away with his huge ws. Lance "I alone cannot stop it, I have to call for help" Lance ordered Dragonite to keep distracting Groudon until he makes a call, he quickly took out his phone and called Wace. Wace picked up his phone. Lance "Wace get everyone here, we have to stop Groudon from heading towards Sootopolis city" Wace "What it''s heading towards Sootopolis city?" Lance "Yes, it must be after the Orbs, get here quickly" Wace "Ok I will be on my way with the Elites" Lance "Good" Lance ended the call and moved around Groudon attacking it with Hyper Beams and Dragon Pulse, Groudon just thought Dragonite as an annoying insect and tried to swat it from the air but it is too slow. For now, Dragonite is able to distract Groudon but after some time, it will just ignore Dragonite as Dragonite is no threat to it at all. _____________________ Julian is riding on Latios in full speed and has entered the domain of the storm but he is still far away from Kyogre. Half of Hoenn is facing harsh sunlight and the other half is facing the storm. Everyone is inside their home waiting for this disaster to go away, members of Team Aqua and Magma are horrified by the oue, they never imagined that they would bring so much destruction to Hoenn, they had underestimated Groudon''s and Kyogre''s powers. Archie the leader of Team Aqua is ming himself right now for the disaster taking ce, he is regretting putting that machine inside the Mt. Chimney. Wace and others are heading towards Groudon''s direction _______________________ Wace and the group finally arrive outside the outskirts of Lavaridge town on flying pokemons, when they arrived they noticed how huge the damage on the town is, they noticed Lance on Dragonite''s back going round and round around Groudon and attacking it. Lance noticed that the help has arrived, he was getting restless that he could not put even a scratch on Groudon even after hitting it so many times with Hyper Beams. Lance "All of you take positions and start attacking it and keep it in a ce, don''t allow it to walk past you" Lance instructed the ones who came to start attacking. Wace and Steven took the front lines with Sidney and Drake and they started to attack in sequence. With all these attacks directed towards it, Groudon is getting annoyed and started to thrash everywhere and uses Earthquake to send tremors everywhere, the gym leaders who are below quickly fly away in their own pokemon and startnds on the ground again, they also start to attack. Groudon is getting more annoyed and it finally catches someone, it swats Drake with his Smence to the ground, they crashnd but his Smence somehow turns its body andnds on its feet andunches a Hyper Beam at Groudon. Groudon catches one more person in the air, it swats Winona and her Altaria from the air and they crash into a tree. Lance "Don''t get near it, attack from distance" Hearing Lance all of them move away and starts to attack for a distance and only use special attack. Groudon has had enough and suddenly started to charge a powerful Sr Beam. Lance "Everyone, protect yourselves, quickly hide behind something" Hearing Lance everyone scatters, the gym leaders who are in the sky fly away high and the ones on the ground hide behind huge boulders. Groudonunches the Sr Beam and literally destroyed everything it''s Hyper Beam touched. The Hyper Beam went through the trees, ground, boulders and destroyed everything in its surroundings. Some Gym leader''s pokemon fainted just from the bacsh. Wace and the Elite Four are shocked by the destruction. Sidney "Only if we had the Orbs right now" Lance "No, we don''t know how the Orbs work and right now Groudon is after its Orb, we cannot let it get closer to those Orbs no matter what" Drake "I agree with Lance we cannot let that happen, we should continue to force it here until it gets tired and go back to its slumber" Steven "Its a risk but we have to take it" __________________ Julian finally arrived at where he should be, right in front of Kyogre, Kyogre stopped moving and is staring at Julian. Chapter 167 - Summoning The Orbs Julian looked down on Kyogre as it stared at Julian as well. It is a huge pokemon and is 17 meters long from head to tail, its fins are also 17 meters longbined, red lines went over its fins and around its eyes, its sharp gaze is locked onto Julian as it is trying to figure out the energy surrounding him ?? Julian knew it will attack at any time and he has to be ready for it, he didn''t have to wait long for an attack as Kyogre started to charge up for an Ice Beam and shot it with full power at Latios and Julian. Latios is quick enough and dodges it by an inch. Julian "Well it finally came to this huh? Then I will go all out as well, Let''s go" Julian tossed a Pokeball up in the air and his 15 meters long Gyarados came out, hended and roared at Kyogre, he weaker than Kyogre now but with Mega Evolution, he will be on an equal footing to it. Julian "Gyarados Mega Evolve" Julian shed his Keystone and light emitted out of it, Gyarados''s Mega Stone also started to shine brightly as his body started to glow. He transformed into Mega Gyarados. Julian ''System show current stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Mega Gyarados Type - Water/Dragon Level - 89 Age - 3 years 20 months Bond - 100% Hp - 800 --> 900 Attack - 850 --> 950 Defense - 700 --> 800 Sp.

Ability - Intimidate (Unlocked), Moxie (Unlocked) ____________________ Mega Gyarados roared and his roar shook the waves and caused it to distort. Julian "Use Hyper Beam" Gyarados charged up and with a deep breath, heunched his most powerful Hyper Beam. Kyogre also didn''t stand back andunched its own Hyper Beam, equally powerful as Gyarados''s, the sh of Hyper Beam caused the water around them to reach till the sky and fall down again, half of it got evaporated. Julian "Gyarados use Outrage" Hearing Julian''smand Gyarados gathered up a huge amount of energy inside his body and charged towards Kyogre. Kyogre also moved forwards as a huge amount of energy started to surround its body and it used Giga Impact andunched towards Gyarados. They both shed with each outer and the explosion caused after it rose up till the sky and the water under them turned into a pit as a huge wave rose up and went towards all the direction, taking away everything in its path. It is an all-out fight between Mega Gyarados and Kyogre. One attack after the other was creating huge waves after waves. Julian "Use Dragon Tail" Gyaradosunched himself out of the water with a powerful thrust from his tail and came down on Kyogre with a powerful Dragon Tail, it is a direct hit and Kyogre is sent underwater with the force behind it as it took some damage but Kyogre struck back, it used Giga Impact andnded a powerful strike to Gyarados and sent him flying in the air. Julian "Use Hyper Beam" Gyarados adjusted his body in mid-air and shot a powerful Hyper Beam towards Kyogre and Kyogre alsounched its own Hyper Beam, the sh once again sent tremors through the air, the rain even stopped for a few seconds before it started to fall again. This attack caused half of the water around them to evaporate but it soon got reced with the heavy rain. Kyogre is getting annoyed as it is stuck in this ce for way too long, it cannot reach towards its core. ____________________ Back in the outskirts of Lavaridge town Lance and others are somehow able to contain Groudon but it won''tst for long, they and their pokemon are getting tired and they have been switching pokemon one after the other but they continue it for too long. Groudon has had enough now and it really doesn''t care about the insects flying around it anymore. It suddenly released a roar so powerful that it went across whole Hoenn and even reached the outskirts of the regions near Hoenn. ______________________ Julian was startled by that powerful roar, he suddenly noticed Kyogre also reacting with its own, it also roared loudly and it reached across whole Hoenn, suddenly both Kyogre and Groudon started to release their aura which started to spread across at incredible speed. At some point, it shed with each other and it finally covered the whole Hoenn. They roared again and this time it was louder than before, it caused everything to shake. Julian frowned seeing this. Julian "What are they doing?" Suddenly he felt it, something is returning their call and it wasing from Sootopolis city. Julian "THE ORBs" Suddenly he noticed two huge lightsing from Sootopolis city, one red and the other blue, they reached the sky, swirling around one another and they suddenly separated, the blue light sot towards where Julian and Kyogre is and the red shot towards were Groudon, Lance and the others are. Julian "This is bad" Julian knew what, they were the orbs, never in his wildest imagination, he thought that they could summon their own orbs. Julian "Wait if they are not after the Orbs what are the after? Yes, they are after the meteorite and it''s an energy source. I get it now, whoever gets to the energy source first will gain the upper hand over the other and they will be finally able to settle their dispute once and for all" Julian realized what they are after finally. Julian "But if that happens, millions will die because of it" He remembered even Daisy is in Sootopolis city. Chapter 168 - Primal Kyogre And Primal Groudon The Blue Orb ripped through the air and shot towards Kyogre. Julian tried to stop it using his Omniforce but he is still not powerful enough to stop it, it broke through his hold and went straight inside Kyogre. ?? Suddenly a huge energy pulse got released form Kyogre''s body which caused Gyarados to back off, Latios also got startled and backed off as well. Suddenly, an extreme amount of energy is started to leak from Kyogre''s body and it started to surrounded by some kind of crystals. Julian "It''s changing into its Primal form" Julian knew he cannot stop it right now. Julian "If I cannot stop it, I will make Groudon do it for me" As Julian watched the blue crystals surrounding it shattered and it revealed Primal Kyogre, it has grown bigger and is now 20 meters from head to tail, its color became dark blue and ruins appeared over its body which starts to emit bright light. Primal Kyogre released a powerful aura which suddenly pressured Gyarados and Latios but Julian soon reacted and used Omniforce to remove the pressure from them. The change in its form suddenly caused the weather to turn even worse, its Primordial Sea ability got activated, causing it to rain like crazy, the sea started to go crazy as well, and the waves rose 10 meters high in the sky and crashed with each other. Primal Kyogre suddenly charged up a Hyper Beam and shot it towards Gyarados. Gyarados is fast enough and dodge the attack andunched his own Hyper Beam, the huge Hyper Beam hit Primal Kyogre and it only caused some damage to it but Primal Kyogrepletely ignored it and attacked Gyarados once again. Julian "I have to get Groudon and Kyogre cross paths before they reach Sootopolis city" Julian "Gyarados, use every means possible and make Primal Kyogre head towards teport city" Gyarados nodded after hearing Julian. Julian "Kabutops, you tooe out and help Gyarados" Julian sent out Kabutops and Kabutops quickly dove under water and help started to help Gyarados in directing Primal Kyogre towards teport city. From the constant attacks from Gyarados and Kabutops Primal Kyogre started to change its direction towards teport city. Seeing it is working Julian decided to head back and check on Groudon, he knew if Primal Kyogre has already appeared, Primal Groudon must have as well. Julian "Latios full speed, don''t waste any time" Latios nodded and shot towards the direction Groudon is in _________________________ When Lance and the others were somehow sessful to keep Groudon in a ce, they noticed Groudon got annoyed and suddenly roared loudly, the roar shook them to the core, the roar could be heard all over Hoenn, but it was not over, they heard another earth-shattering roaring from the south, they would have gone deaf if they didn''t cover their ears, some of them even bled a little from the ear because they were nearest to Groudon. Suddenly they noticed two color lights touch the sky, one blue and the other red, they knew they were the orbs. Wace "It''sing from Sootopolis city, are they summoning their Orbs?" Lance "I think that is the case? Wait if they could summon the orbs why are they heading towards Sootopolis for no reason?" Steven "I think I know, Professor Sycamore mentioned that Sootopolis is formed from the meteorite crash thousands of years ago and the meteorite is still under Sootopolis city" Drake "It means they are after the meteorite''s power source" Then they suddenly noticed the red and blue light separate and the red light shot towards their direction. Lance "Oh no, the red orb is heading towards us, everyone, try to stop it" Hearing Lance everyoneunched their most powerful attack towards it, thebined attack was devastating but the orb literally went through the attack and went inside Groudon. Groudon roared and released a massive energy pulse everywhere causing all the pokemon in the surrounding to back off scared. Suddenly red crystals started to surround it and formed into a huge red crystal ball, suddenly the red crystal ball cracked and then shattered into pieces revealing apletely changed Groudon, its color became darker with ck and dark red, the grooves between its armor were filled with magma, it is releasing its heat constantly, the weather became harsher and the ones present there are having a hard time right now, some of them couldn''t handle the heat and fainted. Sidney "What is that?" Steven "Primal Reversion, I thought it was just a myth but its true after all, this is Groudon''s true form, in this form it created continents that we habituate now" Wace "Primal Groudon, if it continues it will bury the whole Hoenn underneath a newndmass" Lance "We cannot stay here for much longer, everyone back off" Lance led the way followed by Wace and others, suddenly they noticed the ground shaking and suddenly the volcano erupted again. The Magma that came out of it started to move towards Groudon. Groudon roared again and sent a Sr Beam towards the escaping group, the attack hit most of them and knocked out their pokemons. Lance, Wace, Drake, Juan, and Steven escaped from the attack but they also suffered the damage. Lance "Everyone move, move" Lance quickly picked up the fallen ones and took them away, others did the same and escaped from the ce. Seeing the annoying insects around it have run away, Primal Groudon started to move again and the ground behind it started to crack and magma started toe out of it and started to run over the previously destroyed ground forming new ones. It is now heading towards Sootopolis city to get its hands on the meteorite power source. __________________________ Julian arrived at Lavaridge town and saw the whole ce covered with newnd and hills. Julian ''I amte, I have to catch up quickly'' Latios quickly followed the path the newnd is being created and followed it. Julian "Latios, faster" Latios nodded and increased his speed. Chapter 169 - Primal Kyogre And Primal Groudon (2) As Latios speed up Julian waited in anticipation, after flying for a while they reached near Mauville city and sighed in relief, Groudon didn''t go over it but its northern entrance is nowpletely blocked by hugendmass. Julian looked forwards and he could see thend mass here is still hot. ?? Julian "It means Groudon is closer than I expected, Latios move quickly" Latios nodded and shot towards the directing where Groudon is heading. Soon Julian arrived above route 118, he saw Primal Groudon walking and creating Landmass as it moved forward, he saw the ground crack and magma gush out of it and form newd over the old one. Julian "Infernape, Heatran, Snox,e out" Julian sent out his most powerful pokemons to face Groudon, all three of themnded on the newly formednd and their aura leaked heavily alerting Primal Groudon. It turned around and looked at the three new opponents, one of them it had fought on equal footing before but now with its Primal form it is more powerful than before but right now it is facing three opponents who are equally as strong as Snox. Primal Groudon looked up and saw Julian and roared at him. Julian "Infernape, Snox, Heatran, force Primal Groudon to the south towards teport city" Hearing Julian''smand they got ready. Heatran started off, his eyes zed with mes and he started to control the magma around him, he is umting a huge amount of firepower in one attack. He finished gathering energy to the limit and suddenly arge number of rocks and magma started to surround him as he created a humongous tornado out of it which is as tall as Primal Groudon. He sent Magma Storm hurdling towards Groudon with full power, the humongous magma tornado rushed towards Primal Groudon and forced it to move it''s directing towards the south, but Primal Groudon didn''t give up so easily, it took the attack head-on and it took some damage but it not that effective, Primal Groudon destroyed the tornado with a powerful swing of its w enforced with all its power. It is not over as Snox went next and he started to prepare for his most powerful attack, he started to gather up all the dormant power in his body into a single point that is in front of his mouth, slowly a small concentrated ball of energy formed and it slowly started to get bigger and bigger. The ball of energy started to absorb energy from its surroundings as well. Primal Groudon noticed the spike of energy near it but it was toote. Snox fired his most powerful Hyper Beam ever, the Hyper Beam shot straight through, distorting the airpletely, breaking the sound barrier and hit Primal Groudon directly on its side. The power behind it was huge, it caused an explosion bigger than when Groudon and Snox exchanged the Sr Beams with each other. But Primal Groudon is no joke, its armor is too tough to crack, it received damage but it just ignored it, but it also lost its bnce and tried to get back it''s footing on the ground. How could Infernape lose such a great chance, he was building up a huge amount of energy in his fists for quite a long time now, his fists are glowing white with energy waves emitting out of it, the blue mes over his head danced like crazy and suddenly burst into ze. Infernape activated both his abilities, ze and Iron Fist, heunched himself towards Primal Groudon while using me Charge to increase his speed more than ever, he ripped through the sound barrier, causing even light to scatter around that area. In just under a second Infernape is next to Primal Groudon''s face, towards the right. Infernape roared as his blue mes turned purple and rose till the sky and he hit Primal Groudon with all his power behind this one single Focus Punch. The punch hit and the st caused everything into surrounding to break, the newly formednd shattered below them, the air becamepletely empty in the surrounding for a second and returned back. After taking the Focus Punch Primal Groudon couldn''t hold its footing and crashnded on the ground. This is what Julian wanted, from now he could make Groudon move towards the directing as he wanted. Julian "Quickly block its path towards the east and open up the south" Heatran, Snox, and Infernape quickly took their position. Primal Groudon started to get up slowly as the ground beneath it cracked and magma started to flow out of it again and newnd started to rise again. Primal Groudon shook off the effect from the previous attack and looked around to see it''s path blocked, seeing only one path opened it started to move towards the south. Julian "Don''t let it make any change in directing make it tight if it tries to move towards the other directing attack it again with full power" Seeing it would just get knocked down if it tried to move towards the other direction Primal Groudon started to move directly towards the south. It ns to creatend over the sea and reach Sootopolis city, it didn''t know Julian also wanted it to do so if this happened Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre will surely meet each other and confront each other. Since the battle will be held in the sea it will be less dangerous than being on thend where it is habituated by many living beings. As for the ones in the water they have already escaped far, far away from Kyogre to not get caught in a terrifying storm. It is thebined effort of Heatran, Snox, and Infernape that they are able to keep Primal Groudon in control, it hasn''t gone berserk so Julian is in relief right now. Whenever it tried to move towards another directing it would get sted by many powerful attacks from all three of them. What really worried Julian is that even after taking so many hits Groudon was still fine, it didn''t show any sign of pain or exhaustion. He knew that these Ancient beings can only return back to normal when they get exhausted or hurt and who could do that better than their counterpart. Chapter 170 - Primal Kyogre And Primal Groudon(3) Julian carefully directed Primal Groudon towards the sea, he only hoped that his Gyarados and Kabutops have sessfully lured Primal Kyogre towards teport city. Soon he could see the borders of teport city, he noticed that teport city ispletely drowned underwater. ?? The sudden appearance of Groudon started to change thendscape again, the harsh sunlight reced the ck storm clouds and hot magma started to tough the water followed by Groudon''s footsteps. As the molten magma touched the water it sizzled and the water started to evaporate, the harsh sunlight is also ying a heavy part and the city which was underwater a few minutes ago slowly started to appear, Primal Groudon is on the move again andndmass started to form again, the newndmass formed over the old ones. Infernape, Snox, and Heatran were close by and keeping Primal Groudon in a straight path. Julian looked forward and saw the storm was getting closer but Primal Groudon''s ability is also stopping it from getting any closer to them. Julian "Pidgeote out" He called out Pidgeot and he came out of his Pokeball and spread hisrge wings and soared the sky. Julian "Go south and check if Gyarados and Kabutops are ok" Pidgeot nodded and shot towards the south __________________________ Mega Gyarados and Kabutops are trying their best and putting a lot of pressure on Primal Kyogre, Gyarados''s ability ''Intimidate'' also yed a huge role in this. Kabutops is very fast in water due to his ability ''Swift Swim'' which helped him move around Primal Kyogre, he was responsible for all the physical attacks whereas Gyarados maintained his distance andunched powerful special attacks. Primal Kyogre is unable to go towards Sootopolis city because whenever it tried to move that way, it would get hit by constant hyper beams, even though it still is in Primal Form it doesn''t have armor like Groudon''s to protect it from getting hurt. Of course, Primal Kyogre is way stronger than Mega Gyarados and Kabutops but it doesn''t have the speed to its side, all its attacks are pretty much getting dodged or deflected by Gyarados and Kabutops. But it is not easy for Mega Gyarados and Kabutops to keep Primal Kyogre in a straight path, they are already getting tired, first, they have to swim against these huge waves that are 10 meters tall and they have to keep constantly attacking so Primal Kyogre doesn''t attack them when they are not defending themselves. Things are getting worse as they feel tired and Primal Kyogre start to retaliate. It suddenlyunches an Ice Beam and Kabutops get caught by surprise and got hit with it, Kabutops is sent flying backward. Mega Gyaradosunches a powerful Hyper Beam right below its eyes and startles Primal Kyogre and it thrashes the water with its tail and causes everything to go wild, it suddenly dives down, Mega Gyarados quickly gives chase and followed By Kabutops as the ice beam didn''t affect him that much due to his resistance. Soon they start to fight underwater and Gyarados sends out a powerful Hurricane which causes a huge Whirlpool and traps Primal Kyogre inside, seeing it has nowhere to go, it has to retreat up to the surface once again. Mega Gyarados and Kabutops are getting tired by the second, the quickly follow Primal Kyogre to the surface. As soon as Primal Kyogre surfaces it gets hit by a Giga Impact right on its head. The attack hurts Primal Kyogre and it roars loudly, Primal Kyogre''s defense is as not tough as Primal Groudon''s so that Giga Impact caused some damage, but Primal Kyogre has a lot of energy to spare, it won''t go down with just a Giga Impact. Mega Gyarados and Kabutops also surface to look at the sky and notice Pidgeot circling Primal Kyogre from above. Gyarados and Kabutops are in relief to get some help finally. Soon the three starts to work together slowly direct Primal Kyogre towards teport city. _________________________ Back where Lance and the other are, soon the once who are unconscious get up and see that they are alive and sigh in relief. Juan "What happened to Groudon?" Lance "A man with the mask is fighting it right now, from what I saw he is taking Groudon towards teport city" Juan nodded. Lance didn''t say it was Julian because he knew Julian wouldn''t hide his face if he didn''t want people to recognize him so he didn''t. Of course, Juan knew who this masked man is but he also stayed silent, the others in the room sighed a little, they couldn''t help but get frustrated because they couldn''t do anything and now are relying on the person they didn''t know at all. Lance, of course, noticed this. Lance "You guys don''t have to feel frustrated, we never stood a chance against those Ancient pokemons, the person who is fighting them have pokemons that could take on normal legionaries on their own but they are also struggling to keep Primal Groudon in check, you are the elites of Hoenn your responsibility is to take care of and protect the people of Hoenn and you are doing it just fine, leave the battling to the masked person, I know he will pull it somehow" Everyone in the room sighed. Wace took themand and started to n further, he decided to quickly evacuate people from Sootopolis city because if Primal Groudon or Kyogre cannot be stopped they will directly head towards Sootopolis city and destroy it. Soon the gym leaders and the elite four started to move and do the work assigned to them, while they hoped that everything goes right. _______________________ Back to Julian, he stands on Latios as he watched teport city being formed new again, newnds emerge burying the old one underneath, the flood haspletely disappeared and newnd has reced the old. Although all the houses and buildings are destroyed they could still be restored. Julian noticed that things are going fine right now, the flood is slowly disappearing and newnd is forming with better soil and. Julian ''Even though awakening of Groudon and Kyogre brings disaster, it could also be said to be a fortune for theing generation, they will have ess to much fertile soil, new habitats and possibly new species could emerge as well'' Julian saw the changes himself, even though any life could have been lost but the elites had done a good job in transferring the people into safe ces. But now he looks at it, things that were causing pollution arepletely destroyed, the ces where Primal Groudon went by were growing a new nt life. Julian ''Hoenn will not be the same anymore but before that happens I have to deal with the uing battle first''. Chapter 171 - Primal Kyogre And Primal Groudon(4) Julian looked forward and saw the core of the storm ising towards them, he noticed Pidgeot far away, he knew Primal Kyogre is very close to them right now. Primal Groudon is already across teport city and is creating newnd over the sea, it suddenly stops and roars loudly in front of him and starts to charge at full speed towards the core of the storm which is getting near them. ?? _______________________ Primal Kyogre also sensed the presence of Primal Groudon and roared as well and charged towards the harsh sunlight which is taking over the storm. Primal Groudon is creatingnd behind him which is bursting with magma which is also being cooled constantly by the water around it. Primal Kyogre is making it rain heavily as the core of the storm is getting bigger and bigger. The two ability sh and tries to take over the other but they are equally matched making it a very weird one between where they meet, it has both sunlight and harsh rain, the area is not hot but the rainwater is still evaporating away. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre charged at each other as soon as they saw each other, theypletely ignored Julian''s pokemon and shed. Primal Groudon sent out huge spikes made from hardened Magma at Primal Kroger, whereas Primal Kyogre countered with its most power move Water Spout. A raging tornado of water is formed and it destroys the spike hurdling towards it and hits Primal Groudon with full force but it''s useless as Primal Groudon''s ability ''Deste Land'' gives itplete immunity to any water type attacks. But Primal Kyogre can still get hit by Primal Groudon''s ground type moves, even though it is now immune to fire type moves it is still not immune or resistant to Primal Groudon''s ground type moves. If it was their normal form Kyogre would have an advantage but now it is theplete opposite. Primal Groudon charges towards Primal Kyogre as hot magma forms underneath and solidifies as newnd is created. It reached Primal Kyogre and grabs it by its hand and flips it upside down. Primal Kyogre attacks with a Hyper Beam and sends back Primal Groudon and flips itself back. Primal Groudon roars and collects arge amount of energy from the sunlight andunched a Sr Beam towards Primal Kyogre. Primal Kyogre is too slow and gets hit by the powerful Sr Beam and is sent tumbling underwater. Primal Kyogre is hurt but it quickly gets back at Primal Groudon using Giga Impact, a 20 meter long huge Giga Impact ms onto Primal Groudon and sends it crashing down on thend beneath its feet. While falling down Primal Groudon attacks with an another Sr Beam which hits Primal Kyogre and sends it crashing into a huge piece ofnd near the shore of the newly formednd. Julian who is watching this from far away is shocked by the power behind these two pokemons, even though he forced Primal Groudon to such an extent it never came back with this much power behind its attack. If Primal Groudon has used this much power back then it would have destroyed everything. As he kept on watching he frowned, he clearly saw Primal Groudoning on the top between their exchanges, Julian didn''t expect Primal Kyogre''s water type attacks would have no effect on Primal Groudon. Whereas Primal Groudon''s ground type moves could still hurt Primal Kyogre, on top of that Primal Groudon has ess to Sr Beam which is making the battle more one-sided. But Primal Kyogre still has a move up its sleeve, it suddenly charged towards Primal Groudon using Bulldoze, it is the only ground type move Primal Kyogre knows but it will help it in taking down Primal Groudon which is weak to only ground type moves. Primal Kyogre crash onto Primal Groudon and makes it crash on the ground, Primal Groudon roars in pain and strikes Primal Kyogre with its huge ws using Hammer Arms. Primal Kyogre roars in pain as well and attacks with a Hyper Beam, Primal Groudon counters with a Sr Beam and the two attacks sh together causing mass destruction, the newly formednd turns back to molten magma, while the water in the ocean evaporates into the air. But things go back to how they were, newnd rece the old molten rocks and the sea is filled with water once again. But Julian is seeing itpletely different. Julian ''If this continues from what I see, Primal Groudon will soon triumph over Primal Kyogre, it needs to distance itself from Primal Groudon but it doesn''t have any special attacks that deal heavy damage to Primal Groudon'' Primal Groudon has a terrifying defense but its special defense is a little weaker but Primal Kyogre''s every attack is being ignored or dispelled. On the other hand, Primal Groudon is a heavy attacking monster, the more Primal Kyogre stays close to Primal Groudon the more damage it will take and its physical defense is also not strong as Primal Groudon''s. Julian ''Looks like I have to help Primal Kyogre a little and make them both tire out until they calm down'' His pokemons are already near him and looking at the two humongous beast battling. Julian "It''s time to take the battlefield, onest time" Hearing Julian everyone roared as they got ready for the battle. Chapter 172 - Resonance Julian called out his other pokemons as well, Venusaur, Gengar, and Electivire. His Pokemons roared as they charged towards Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. ?? Julian "Gengar, Venusaur, intercept Primal Groudon, Electivire take on Primal Kyogre, the rest of you take a rest for a while" Julian tossed some berries at Infernape, Heatran, Snox, Mega Gyarados, Kabutops, and Pidgeot. They quickly ate them to replenish some energy. Venusaur and Gengar worked together and attacked Primal Groudon and keep it from causing much damage to Primal Kyogre. Electivire also took charge andshed out with bolts of lighting at Primal Kyogre whenever it tried to close in on Primal Groudon. Sometimes they let them sh and take rest while Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre are at it. Infernape and the others got back their energy and ready to go, they soon took turns one after the other in handling Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Whenever Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogreunch their big attacks Infernape and the other would intercept and reduce their impact to the other party doesn''t get heavily damaged. Electivire and Infernape are now dealing most of the physical attacks while the others are keeping their distance. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre are furious because of the random involvement of Infernape and the others, when they look at their counterpart they only want to destroy each other but right now they are getting annoyed by Infernape and the others. These tiny pokemons were as strong as them when they are in their normal forms, specifically Infernape and Snox, they were causing the most damage. ____________________ Primal Groudon roared andunched a Sr Beam towards Primal Kyogre, the power behind it was too devastating so Infernape quickly stepped in and used a full power Focus st. The two attacks collided and created another st, which caused the air to distort again, the surrounding now is a no zone for any pokemons, the air was thin, the sea water is constantly evaporating and being refiled by the rain, the newnd is being created and destroyed then again created, until it formed into a mountain. Due to the huge st, everybody got blindsided by the bright light, suddenly Primal Kyogre attacked out of nowhere. It used Water Spout and this was not aimed towards Groudon but Infernape. Julian didn''t expect this neither did Infernape. Julian "Quickly move" But it is toote Infernape is in air and cannot direct in midair, he got hit by Water Spout with full force and sted him away. Julian "Infernape" Julian shot towards Infernape on Latios to catch him, Latios boosted and got in front of Infernape''s path, Julian quickly used Omniforce all over his body and caught Infernape in midair, the force behind it was big and Julian lost his footing from Latios and fell towards the water. His Pokemons couldn''t make it up to him, Latios could have but the distance has already shortened and both Infernape and Julian fell into the water. Gyarados quickly charged forward while Snox stayed behind to keep Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre in check. Gyarados quickly got below and lifted up Julian and Infernape. Julian looked at Infernape, he is still conscious but hurt badly. Julian "Are you ok?" Hearing him Infernape nodded, he then struggled a little and tried to get back to his feet. Julian "Don''t take some rest before continuing" Hearing him Infernape growled, as his anger red up. Julian suddenly realized something. Julian ''How could I forget Infernape hates losing but now being put in such a state by a single attack really pissed him off'' Julian looked at Infernape''s eyes as he could see mes zing in them. Julian "So you want to continue?" Infernape nodded Julian "Then take this" He tossed a berry to Infernape so that a little energy could be replenished. Julian "I trust you, you can do this" Infernape nodded and roared, he used his legs and jumped up, he said something to Gyarados and Gyarados swung his tail towards Infernape, Infernape used Gyarados''s tail as a trampoline andunched towards Primal Kyogre. Infernape roared as his mes burned bright blue until they turn purple and became lighter and lighter, while they grow in size. As Julian watched Infernape he suddenly felt a connection with Infernape, he felt his Omniforce slowly leaking out of his body towards Infernape. Suddenly he received an alert message from the system System ''Possibility of Resonance taking ce 10%'' Julian ''What is this?'' Julian realized that his Omniforce is being transferred to Infernape as he felt his connection with Infernape growing stronger and stronger. Julian ''Let''s try this'' Julian "Infernape, if you can feel the energy entering you, use it to the fullest" Infernape heard Julian and saw a very thin amount of energy entering his body, he recognized this energy, it was the same thing that surrounds Julian every time. As the energy entered his body, Infernape started to feel his power growing constantly, as his mes started to transform again. Julian closed his eyes and concentrated on supplying as much Omniforce as possible to Infernape, he felt his should pulsing and suddenly a linked formed between him and Infernape''s soul. He could suddenlymunicate with Infernape with just his thought, at first he used his Omniforce to achieve it but now he could directly tell what Infernape is thinking and Infernape alike. Julian [Infernape let''s do this] Julian suddenly released a burst of Omniforce towards Infernape and Infernape started to absorb all of it inside him, his body started to change. The light purple mes on top of his head suddenly burst towards the sky and turned pure white, white mes started to cover Infernape''s body, his orange colored fur suddenly started to turn white while his white fur got reced with ck, the blue parts on his fingers and toes turned red, his fur grew thicker on the sides, his tail also lit up with pure white mes at it''s end. The golden armor on his body turned shiny and more like tinum in color. Soon the white mes calmed down and clearly revealed Infernape''s new form, he is covered in white mes, white and ck fur all over his body, he also has two long whip-like mes dancing separately from the other mes on his head, his toes and fingers have turned red along with his eyes, a tinum color armor te covered his chest along with his wrist, shoulders, and knees, and a tinum color on his forehead. His eyes turned from blue to red just like Julian''s and the aura he is giving off is of dominance. Julian was excited seeing this new form of Infernape only has little changes, he now has chest armor, and two whip-like mes on the front of his head, glowing red eyes and the whitest mes he has ever seen. Julian ''System tell me what happened?'' System ''Resonance had reached 100%, Infernape and Host is sharing Omniforce with each other and your souls are now connected and also the mind, Infernape and Host''s both mind and soul is resonating with each other, which is supplying an endless amount of Omniforce to Infernape and increasing his power'' Julian didn''t expect Infernape to be able to handle Omniforce but he realized just like him, Infernape was also created by God. Julian ''System, disy Infernape''s current stats''. Chapter 173 - All Over Julian ''System show Infernape''s stats right now'' System ''Affirmative'' ?? ___________________ Infernape (Resonance Form) Type - Fire/Fighting Level - 91 Age - 28 months Bond - ???

Ability - Predominant mes (Unlocked) ____________________ Julian ''Why are the stats not disying?'' System ''System is not able topute'' Julian ''Why?'' System ''System cannot read Omniforce'' Julian ''Then how could you disy my stats?'' System ''System can only disy the host''s raw stats, once Omniforce is introduced in one of them, System cannotpute'' Julian ''I see, so right now every part of Infernape is being infused by Omniforce, even his soul so System cannot read it'' System ''Omniforce is the highestw, System doesn''t have ess to read it'' Julian nodded, he understood why God didn''t allow System to ess it, imagine an IA trying to figure out how Omniforce really works. If it fell in the wrong hand the disaster will be huge. Julian ''What is Predominant me?'' System ''The hottest mes in existence'' Julian ''How does the ability helps'' System ''Itpletely ignores type advantage, it deals 1x damage to pokemons which are immune to fire type moves, it can effectively damage water, ground, and rock type pokemon with 2x damage, the other types get 4x damage, and the ones which are weak to fire type moves get 8x damage'' Julian was shocked by this ability, a me that burns everything, this was literally broken. ______________________________________ Infernape''s me caused everything to brighten up, even the storm and drought were taking ce, where ever Infernape''s light reached it devoured everything recing it with white light. The sudden appearance of Predominant mes alerted Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, they sensed pressured by this white mes they never have seen before. Primal Groudon was fascinated by the burning mes while Primal Kyogre stepped back. Infernape roared as his white mes released a bright burn and he charged towards Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Sensing the danger approaching them, they released a powerful attack of their own towards Infernape, the two attacks joined together and headed towards Infernape but Infernapepletely ignored it, he pulled his right hand back and infused it with Predominant mes, his fist got covered by zing white mes. He punched at the iing attack and ripped through it easily and arrived in front of Primal Kyogre, he punched Primal Kyogre right on its head and sent it shooting underwater until it crashed on the bed of the sea itself, Just one hit and Primal Kyogre is defeated. Julian "Gyarados, Kabutops, quickly pull it out of the water" Infernape them turned towards Primal Groudon and took a deep breath, andunched a white me thrower towards Primal Groudon, Primal Groudon countered with a Hyper Beam but it was no match, the Hyper Beam got devoured by the white methrower and hit Primal Groudon. Suddenly being exposed to such heat Primal Groudon''s body started to overheat and it erupted with mes bursting out of its body, it lost half of its power in an instant and suddenly the Red Orb in its body came out. Primal Groudon returned to its normal form and went on its knee, seeing the Orb Julian rushed towards it and caught it. He looked at Groudon and saw it slowly copsing on the ground, it crashed and thendmass underneath it cracked. Julian took out an Ultra Ball he had and tossed it towards Groudon, the ball opened and Groudon went in, the Ultra Ball beeped three times until it stopped, stating the capture is sessful. Soon Gyarados and Kabutops surfaced as well, Gyarados has somehow managed to pull up an unconscious Kyogre and Kabutops is holding the Blue Orb between his ws, Julian tossed another Ultra Ball at the unconscious Kyogre, the ball opened once it touched Kyogre and took it in, the ball beeped three times and Kyogre is also sessfully captured. Seeing that it was all over Julian sighed and sat down on Latios and breathed a sigh of relief, Infernape came towards him, Julian patted Infernape''s head and smiled. Julian "You did it" Infernape nodded and smiled, soon the white mes disappeared and Infernape returned back to normal, his white fur got reced with orange and his ck got reced with white, his white mes turned blue again. Infernape also sat down on Latios, all his pokemon roared happily as the disaster is gone. Latiosnded down on the newly formednd, Kabutops approached Julian and handed him the Blue Orb as well. Julian "Good job" He turned to his other pokemons and nodded as well. Julian "You all did great, you should rest now" He sent everyone back to their Pokeball, now only Latios and Julian are left behind, he walked towards the two Ultra Ball and sighed. Julian "Who would have thought that one day these two behemoths will be captured in such small balls" Julian put the two balls in his dimensional pocket with the orbs. He looked at the sky as they cleared up, the storm has disappeared, the drought is nowhere to be seen, the warm sunlight has finally touched the newnds in Hoenn as new signs of life could be seen growing on it. He looked at Latios and smiled. Julian "Looks like there are no casualties" Latios nodded with a smile. Julian "Let''s go back" Latios nodded, Julian hopped on Latios back as they flew away from the ce. Chapter 174 - Return As Julian looked over from the sky sitting on Latios back, he saw the hotnd slowly cooling down, he saw nt buds growing out of thend formed by Groudon''s rampage, he saw pokemons returning to their oldnd from hiding to find it haspletely changed. Some of them were happy with the newnd while the others were natural, soon they started to build their new homes andirs for themselves, they investigated the new nts growing with curiousness. ?? Julian sighed, he knew Hoenn still needs to rebuild many towns and cities as they are now buried. Inds like Dewford need its town to bepletely rebuilt, luckily it has a gym leader it will be taken care of pretty fast, same could be said for Lavaridge town as well and the small towns and viges around it. Latios soared through the sky and flew towards Lavaridge town. _________________________ In Lavaridge town inside a small house, Lance and all the elites of Hoenn are present, they looked at the sky and saw that things were returning back to normal, the drought has disappeared and warm sunlight is touching the ground again. Juan "It stopped" He said with a little bit of disbelief in his voice, everyone in the room were clueless about what has happened, but they are still happy to finally see the warm sun. Wace "Looks like Groudon and Kyogre has stopped their rampaging" Everyone sighed in relief after hearing Wace. Drake "I will be leaving, I need to inform the league about it" Wace "I will alsoe with you" Drake and Wace left. Juan "I will go back to Sootopolis and handle things there and stop the moving process" Juan also left, soon the other gym leaders left to their respective city so that they could handle the situations there. The only one left is Lance and nnery, nnery decided to look around her town and see how much damage it caused and how much is required to repair. Lance sighed as he looked at the sky once again. Lance ''looks like he did it'' He got out of the small house and decided to look around to find any pokemon or people injured. ________________________ Julian reached Lavaridge town to noticed the newly builtnd before he was busy fighting Groudon so he didn''t give it much attention but now he could see the changes. Mt. Chimney is back to normal as he can see the magma boiling inside it, as he looks around he sees Lance on his Dragonite flying towards him. Lance had noticed Julian on Latios so he headed towards him. Lance "Julian, what happened?" Lance asked. Julian "Everything is under control, Hoenn is out of danger" Lance nodded. Julian then took out the two orbs and handed it to Lance. Julian "Give them to Wace or Juan, they should know what to do with it" Lance took the orbs and looked at them carefully. Lance "I understand" Julian "Good, I have other things to do, you should go ahead and give those orbs back to where they belong" Lance nodded and went away. After Lance went away Julian looked at the volcano''s opening. Julian "Latios let''s go in" Latios nodded and entered the volcano, Julian quickly enforced Omniforce over him and Latios to escape from the heat radiating from the volcano. Latiosnded near an edge and Julian got off of Latios, he then took out the Ultra Ball of Groudon. Julian ''Even though it''s very tempting to have these powerful pokemons with me, I cannot take them, and even if I did I don''t know if I will be able to take care of them at all'' Julian opened the Ultra Ball and soon Groudon came out andnded in the hot magma, it looked around its surroundings then looked at Jason. Julian [You should go back to your slumber, you have already fulfilled what you have been assigned, you have already created a world which is great for both people and pokemon, be Hoenn''s protector, not its destroyer] Julian sent a clear telepathic message to Groudon, Groudon looked at Jason for a while then nodded andpletely submerged into the hot magma. Julian sighed and hopped on Latios back again. Julian "Now, we go where Kyogre had been slumbering" Latios nodded and shot out of the volcano''s opening and headed towards the south again. After a long journey, they finally reached the ce where Julian first sensed Kyogre, Latios dived down and Julian covered himself with Omniforce. As he entered the water he saw pokemons swimming around freely, Latios dived down deeper until the sunlight even started to fade away. They are now at the deepest part of the ocean, the absence of light doesn''t mean Julian could see, he saw a huge creator pulsing with energy, ice stones, water stones were all over the ce, there were no pokemons present here as the pressure here was too high for a weak pokemon to be here and the ones who are strong don''t want to enter this area because it Kyogre''sir. Julian took out Kyogre''s Pokeball and opened it, Kyogre soon came out and looked around, it saw it is back in itsir, it then looked at Julian. Julian [You have done enough, your task has beenplete that by given to you by the original one, now you are free, you may either rest or travel the seas that you created, it is all up to you] Kyogre heard Julian''s message in its head and looked at him, it then made a slight cry and nodded, it slowly swam away leaving Julian and Latios behind. Julian ''Looks like it chose freedom than slumber, well I understand, who would want to go back to slumber just after getting up, I think same could be said to Groudon, it may have its own world underground that no one knows and it is now exploring it'' Julian ''Now that this is over, its time for onest thing'' Julian patted Latios head and he shot out of the water and headed towards Sootopolis city. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX A/N - I know many of you will be mad for releasing Groudon and Kyogre but Julian''s cannot take care of them, they are monsters and they need energy from their source, arge amount of food that he cannot afford even though he is filthy rich and most of all he cannot develop them, and above that the nature needs them, they are already million''s of years old and Julian cannot train them to perfection even if he tried, if they were just newborns then there might be a possibility. Chapter 175 - Letter Julian returned back to Sootopolis after a peaceful flight on Latios, it was already evening and the orange sky made it looked beautiful. Latiosnded on the outskirts of Sootopolis city, Julian got off and removed his mask and coat to put on his regr one, he looked at Latios and patted his head. ?? Julian "Thank you for your help, you should go and rest as well" Latios nodded and flew away into the horizon disappearing from his sight, Julian looked at Sootopolis city and saw it was busting with people, as usual, it has been the safest city till now and now people from other cities are leaving and the ones who left the city are entering again. Julian ''I hope Daisy is doing fine'' Julian took out his bike and rode into the city, after a while, he came in front of the hotel where he left Daisy. He sighed and entered the hotel, as he was about to enter the room he noticed something strange, he quickly entered the room to find Daisy nowhere, he looked around and sensed a lingering presence of thing around the room. Julian scanned the room and noticed a familiar aura in this room, it was the same aura that Chloe had when he saw her on the Smence, the aura which was controlling her, he was about to panic when he noticed a note ced on the nightstand next to the bed. He walked towards it and lifted the letter, it is from Daisy, it read- ''Julian, when you left the sudden changes in the sky scared me, I thought you will nevere back but I trust you, when things were getting worst, people started to move out of Sootopolis city when suddenly Chloe appeared out of nowhere, she looked normal, she said you will be fine and I should follow her, I argued for a while but she was persistent, she said if I don''t leave with her I might die, so I decided to go with her, I don''t want to die, I want to be with you, so I am going to LaRousse city with Chloe, I don''t know if she is really Chloe or someone else but if ites down to me being alive and to be with you I am going to take this risk. Meet you at LaRousse city - Love Daisy'' Julian crushed the note and sighed, he looked at the direction of LaRousse city. Julian ''LaRousse city, I aming, Shadows its time to end it all'' Julian checked Chloe''s location with Omniforce and realized that she is already in LaRousse city, he did the same with Daisy, he had left a mark in her, he noticed that she was also in LaRousse city and it looked like her life was not in any kind of danger. It was already night by now and he couldn''t go to LaRousse city right now, he decided to rest for the day as he is mentally tired as well. ______________________ Next day Julian woke up and got ready, he decided to check the next ship to LaRousse city, as the inte was down, the drought had burnt down many things and one is the main hub of the inte facility. As he walked out of the hotel and rode his bike towards the ship harbor, when he was on his way he saw four simr faces again, it was Ash and his friends. Julian ''So he has finallye to Sootopolis city'' Julian rode towards them and surprised them. Ash "Julian" Julian nodded Julian "How''s your gym battle going" Ash "Hehe, I already have seven badges, today I am going to challenge the Sootopolis gym for myst one" Julian "Good, Juan is a very strong gym leader, maybe the strongest so be careful" Ash "I got it don''t worry, I and my pokemons trained a lot for this" Julian "How are you doing Pikachu?" Julian looked at Pikachu and rubbed his cheeks. "~Pikkkaaaaa~" Pikachu nuzzled his cheeks on Julian hand with a smile on his face. Julian "I see you are doing much better, the next time we meet I will see how strong you both have grown" Ash "Don''t worry we won''t disappoint you" Julian "Good" He then looked at the other. Julian "I hope you all are doing great as well" Max "Yes Mr. Julian, I am doing great, I actually met a Ralts and I promised him when I grow up I will be his trainer" May "I am also doing great, I already have four ribbons, myst contest will be Pecifidlog town, but due to that huge storm it is dyed" Julian "Now you have more time to prepare for it" May nodded. Julian "So Brock still want to be a pokemon breeder" Brock "Yes, that is what I have been aiming" Julian "I see, have you ever considered bing a Pokemon doctor, I think you have skills to be a great doctor, but still it needs practice as well" Brock "A Pokemon doctor?" Julian "Well, it all depends on your choice" Brock "I will think about it, I do have quite an interest in pokemon medicines" Julian "Ok I will be going I have things to do" Julian left them and headed towards the harbor. Julian ''Looks like Ash hase a long way and doesn''t look so naive as before'' Thinking about it he smiled and continued riding. Chapter 176 - Rise Of Ash Once he reached the harbor he went towards the office to notice a long line before him, many of them are also nning to leave Sootopolis city. Julian ''My, it a long line, looks like I have to wait for a while'' ?? After standing in line for a while he finally came in front of the office and found out that the next ship is tomorrow morning. He sighed, he could ride Pidgeot to LaRousse but it''s going to be a very long journey and Pidgeot cannot handle it even though he is quite powerful. He also has his car in Sootopolis city and he cannot leave it just here with no one to hold it for him. He decided to board the ship tomorrow and booked the ticket. ____________________ Next day Julian got up from his bed and looked around, he forgot that Daisy is not here, he felt weird being alone as Daisy was always by his side. He quickly got ready and left in his car, after reaching the harbor he quickly boarded the ship that is headed to LaRousse city. After boarding, he sighed, he looked at the direction of LaRousse city. Julian ''My life is not going to be peaceful at all, its all up to destiny'' He had already realized that his being in this world had made him one of its main characters and he cannot escape this, luckily he was only involved in big events and didn''t get annoyed daily by some idiots. As he was looking around the ship he noticed Ash and his friends also boarding the ship. Julian ''Hmm are they also going to LaRousse city?'' Julian sighed once again, Ash being in LaRousse meant that his theory about trouble going to befall in LaRousse city is confirmed. Julian ''What a day, it had been, I think I will rest the whole day'' Julian went into his personal room and rested the whole day, clearing his mind from useless thoughts and calmed his mind, he slept the whole day, only to realized it when he woke up the next day. He noticed that the ship has already left Sootopolis city and is headed towards LaRousse city. He walked outside and saw the sunlight reflect from the surface of the sea''s surface, the warm sunlight hit his face and he felt refreshed, that long sleep had re-energized him properly. He decided to stroll around the ship and he walked out. As he moved around he finally came across a battlefield where a crowd had already gathered watching a pokemon battle between two trainers. Julian suddenly saw a lightning sh and a Machamp was sent flying and crashed in the floor. Julian ''I remember that lightning'' Julian smiled and walked towards the battlefield. As he walked past the crowd he saw Ash and his Pikachu on the battlefield as they battle Machamp. Trainer "Machamp get up quick" The Machamp trainer shouted for Machamp to quickly get up but it was already toote. Ash "Pikachu let''s finish this Volt Tackle" Pikachu charged towards Machamp as his body first got covered with white energy then covered with lightning, Pikachu used Volt Tackle with full power and crashed onto Machamp. The attack caused a big bacsh and the waves reached every corner of the battlefield causing everything to fly away. Machamp was sent crashing and it got knocked out, Pikachunded on his feet as a light spark goes through his body. It''s obviously the bacsh of using Volt Tackle but Pikachu shook it off aside as if it was nothing. Julian was impressed by the power behind that attack. Julian ''They really havee a long way'' Julian thought. As he was about to leave Max noticed him and ran towards him. Max "Mr. Julian are you also heading towards LaRousse city?" Julian "Yes" Max "Cool we are also heading towards LaRousse city, I heard that its the most advanced city in Hoenn, it has tall infrastructures that are run by high technology, is it true?" Julian looked at Max and was annoyed but he didn''t show it in his face. Julian ''Kid even though I was a champion, that doesn''t mean I know everything, ask someone else'' Julian "I don''t know Max, you should know I am not from Hoenn" May "Max what are you doing?" May came for the rescue and dragged away Max by holding his ear. May "Sorry Mr. Julian, for Max annoyance" Julian didn''t say anything. Ash headed towards Julian happily with Pikachu. Ash "Julian did you see us battling?" Julian "Hmm, you have improved a lot fromst time, you too Pikachu" Julian nodded. Julian "I hope not only Pikachu but all your other pokemons have also grown strong" Ash "Yes, everyone is training hard, this time I will definitely win the league" Julian smiled Julian "Ok then, I will be going, let''s meet afterward" Julian walked away leaving behind Ash and his friends. Brock "Ash, are you sure you can win the league this time?" Ash "Of course I am" Brock "Did you forget Julian is also participating" Ash "Ah? huh, what? Oh how could I forget" Ash went on his knees as tears ran down his eyes, everyone around himughed. He soon got back to his feet with a beaming smile. Ash "It doesn''t matter, I will be satisfied if I get my battle with Julian that I have been waiting for so long" Ash was burning with passion, this is the reason why he is one of the main characters of this world, he never wavers from his path to reach the goal he has set for himself. Ash "Pikachu, we have to train harder if we want to put up a good fight against Julian" Pikachu "Pikka" Pikachu also said it with determination, he remembered how Julian''s Electivire controlled the lightning and he also wants to achieve this kind of feet someday. Both Ash and Pikachu got fired up and started to run around the ship to begin their training the next second. Brock, May, and Max shook their head and followed him. Chapter 177 - LaRousse City Today Julian was watching TV in his personal room in the ship, it is a local news channel of Hoenn. News Anchor "The appearance of the two Ancient Legendary pokemons. Groudon and Kyogre have caused a lot of destruction to Hoenn. Towns and cities have beenpletely destroyed, Dewford Ind, Littleroot Town, teport city, Pacifidlog town, had beenpletely drowned along with some southern inds." ?? Julian ''I hope everything will be taken care off with no problem'' News Anchor "But before we discuss anything else we wee our guest, he is a famous professor who is known best for inventing the weather indicator device. Professor Bac" A Professor wearing a white coat walked in and sat down next to the news anchor. News Anchor "So Professor, what is your view on this situation?" Bac "First of all I want to tell you this, the awakening of the Ancient Legendary pokemon is our fault as much as the criminal organization who participated in doing this, we have been polluting our surroundings for generations and someday an imbnce will ur which will cause the Ancient beings to wake up again and fix it for us, and that is by destroying everything we built" News Anchor "So you are saying its the people fault for the awakening of the ancient pokemons?" Bac "Maybe not this time but that doesn''t matter, as we pollute more and more and cause an imbnce in nature, it will force them to awaken, and what will happen then, this time we were saved by this powerful mysterious trainer who stopped Groudon and Kyogre but what would have happened if this event rued in future and not now, what would have happened if this trainer was not in Hoenn in the future, the whole Hoenn would have been destroyed, I think what happened has happened for good, this may be controversial for saying this but you all can see the changes your self. Hoenn is a much better ce today, the air is cleaner, the soil is fertile, new evidence of life is being seen everywhere Groudon has set its foot. It can be said the same for the water in the sea as well, the harmful waste that was disposed of in the sea haspletely disappeared, the poption of water pokemon is suddenly growing and new species of pokemon that are not native to Hoenn are moving in. Hoenn haspletely changed, it is now a paradise for pokemons and humans alike, we are lucky to have had the powerful mysterious trainer with us when this disaster took ce, if not we would have not been here but what would have been left is a new region which would be habituated by new people and pokemons in the future. I hope that people understand the importance of these changes in Hoenn and to maintain it so that in the near future Hoenn might be the best region to live in" News Anchor "I think I understand what you are saying, Professor, Hoenn is more beautiful now and thanks to the elites who quickly rescued the people and the Mysterious trainer that put an end to Groudon and Kyogre''s rampage, no casualties were found. And as the Professor said, we should cherish the newnd and the clean water we got from the Ancient Pokemons and maintain it so that Hoenn''s future is bright as well, I hope everyone who is watching this will do the same" Bac "Indeed, maintain your surroundings and don''t pollute the environment" News Anchor "Thank you for visiting use Professor Bac and sharing your knowledge. Now we end this program, I am Alisha from Hoenn Starwork" Julian switched off the TV and sighed, he knew that the talk about the Mysterious Trainer willst for years and be called as a hero, Julian didn''t mind it at all but it was getting annoying to him. Whenever he opened his phone, his screen would get filled with news feeds rted to the Mysterious trainer, where ever he went people talked about him, the entire inte was going crazy over this mysterious man on Latios andmanding super powerful pokemons who are as strong as the two ancient pokemon. Julian ''Well I cannot do anything but sit back and let it die down by itself'' ________________________ After days of traveling in the ship, Julian finally reached LaRousse city, he stood on the front deck of the ship and looked at the huge city in front of him. He could already see the tall buildings, wind turbines running freely, the long metro lines connecting all the twondmasses situated next to LaRousse city and theplex architecture which supports both greenery and modern means together. Julian ''LaRousse city, a city that is the most advanced in Hoenn, its main power source is the wind turbines making it Eco-friendly, really a beautiful city, sadly it may fall if I don''t take action quickly'' Ash and his friends were also standing beside him as they look at the city in front of them. Brock "By the way Julian, why did youe to LaRousse city?" Julian "I have some business here and since the league is also postponed, I decided to visit LaRousse city and look around" Ash "Oh can we tag along as well?" Julian "Hmm? Maybe if we meet in the middle of the street because most of the time I might be busy with other things" Ash "Ok I get it" Julian nodded. Soon the ship stopped next to the harbor and the anchor was dropped, Julian got into the vehicle area and drove out of the ship and entered LaRousse city. Julian ''Daisy, Chloe wait for me I am here''. Chapter 178 - Pupitar Vs Tyranitar After entering LaRousse city Julian headed straight towards a hotel and booked a room, he parked his car in the parking lot and decided to head out in search for Daisy and Chloe. Julian got on this bike and rode off. ?? Julian ''Let''s see where they are right now?'' Julian used his omniforce to track down both Daisy and Chloe''s location, he found both of them were together at the north most side of the city. Julian ''Hmm? That''s the forest side of LaRousse city'' Julian recognized where they are but to confirm it he looked in his phone and he is right, the north most part of LaRousse is a thick forest and very powerful pokemons resides there. Julian ''What are they doing there?'' Julian wondered. Julian ''I can only find out when I go there'' Julian thought and turned the elerator on the bike''s handle and shot off towards the forest side. As he elerated through the streets of LaRousse city, he finally reached the outskirts of the forest, he looked around to see that there were lifeforms on trees and very abundant in numbers. Julian ''How many Pokemon does this forest have, just the outskirts and I have already found ten in the vicinity'' Julian thought as he entered the forest, he had to be careful while riding as pokemons on the trees couldunch an attack on him any second from out a nowhere. Julian kept Pupitar beside him as he was the only one left to evolve, Julian decided to train him more, it''s not that Pupitar is weaker than his teammates, it just that to evolve into Tyranitar he needs much more training and experience than his fellow pokemons. Tyranitars are very rare pokemon, most of the Pupitars cannot reach the ideal level to evolve into Tyranitar. If a Tyranitar is found in the wild it means it has gone through hell and battle after battle for territories to finally evolve into the monster that their species are. Pupitar has been training very hard and has the heights level among his fellow pokemons, he just needs more battling and he will reach the ideal level for his evolution to kick in. He has already started to master dark-type energy with Absol, even though he still doesn''t have the typing, his DNA still has the dark traits and when he evolves it will overtake his ground type traits. Julian "Pupitar stay close and be on guard, the deeper we go, the more dangerous it will get" Pupitar nodded and floated closely to Julian as he drove deeper into the forest. The deeper he went in the forest the more pokemon he encountered, Pupitar battled them one after the other, sometime they would get teamed up but Julian still made Pupitar fight them all to put some pressure on him and help him level up fast. Julian ''I can sense they are near here somewhere'' Julian concentrated and found a lingering aura that he found in the hotel room that day, it wasing from underground. Julian ''Underground'' Julian thought and moved forward, as Julian reached the ce where the aura was the clearest, he frowned when he saw what is in front of him. A huge Tyranitar standing next to a huge rock. Julian noticed the scars on its body. He knew this Tyranitar in front of him has fought many battles, from the scar on its belly, he could tell it has defeated many opponents and reached this state Julian ''This ce is great for hiding, I don''t know how Chloe and Daisy got past that Tyranitar to get to the underground, but I have to get past it by defeating it'' He looked at Pupitar next to him, Pupitar is ready as he wants to face off against a powerful opponent as well, he has been defeating pokemons after pokemons whit not much effort recently and this Tyranitar in front of him is the real deal and it would definitely give him a hard time. Julian "Do you want to take it on?" Julian asked Pupitar, he knows that the Tyranitar is way above Pupitar''s league but this may also be helpful for Pupitar to grow more powerful and whit his help from behind he might even win. Pupitar nodded and moved forward. Julian also got ready. The Tyranitar who is standing next to the rock looked at the huge Pupitar in front of it, but it was still littlepared to it, Pupitar was bigger than the rest of his species but in front of Tyranitar he Dwarfed, he only came to Tyranitar''s knee. Seeing the Pupitar approaching it, Tyranitar growled and threatened him to back off but Pupitar stayed his ground. Seeing that Pupitar is not moving Tyranitar roared and sent a powerful Dark Pulse shooting towards Pupitar. Julian "Pupitar dodge, then use Rock Slide" Pupitar quickly moved away and dodged the Dark Pulse and sentrge rocks at Tyranitar, the rocks crashed onto Tyranitar and pushed it back a little, the rocks got destroyed and Tyranitar stared furiously at Pupitar. It once againunched a Dark Pulse at Pupitar. Julian "Dodge and use Focus st" Pupitar moved away and started to store arge amount of energy at a single point, Tyranitar is 4x weak to fighting type moves and if it gets hit by a Focus st which is one of the strongest fighting moves it will be devastating. Sensing the attack Tyranitar quickly took action andunched a powerful Hyper Beam towards Pupitar, Pupitar alsounched his Focus st and the two attacks shed. Tyranitar''s attack was definitely stronger than Pupitar''s but the typing advantage of Pupitar''s attack also yed a huge role and both attacks defused each other. The bacsh of these attack colliding caused the trees around the area to bepletely ripped off from its stem, the grass on the ground was also charred. Julian "Pupitar now Ancient Power" Pupitar''s body glowed and started to collect energy from the surroundings and he then shot a huge ball made from rock energy. The ball of energy hit Tyranitar and it inflected some pain to it, upon that all of Pupitar''s stats rose by one stage making him stronger, bulkier and faster. Chapter 179 - Tyranitar Vs Tyranitar Tyranitar roared and charged towards Pupitar in frustration and anger while using Bulldoze. Julian "Pupitar, now use Thrash on Tyranitar''s knees" ?? Pupitar charged towards Tyranitar and used Thrash, Pupitar hit Tyranitar''s knee with the full force of his body. Being suddenly targeted on the knee the Tyranitar lost its footing and came crashing towards the ground as its knee is in pain. As Tyranitar crashed on the ground, the ground beneath it cracked. Julian "Now Earthquake" Pupitarnded on the ground and sent powerful tremor all over the area, causing the cracked ground to crack more further. Tyranitar got hit by a very powerful Earthquake as its whole body was on the ground, it roared in pain and started to shoot Hyper Beam randomly everywhere. This is one of the reasons Julian didn''t like battling powerful wild pokemons, they suddenly go berserk as they don''t have anyone to control them, they put both themselves and the others around them in danger. A Hyper Beam suddenly came towards Pupitar and he couldn''t dodge it as it was too fast. Pupitar was sent crashing on to the huge rock, Tyranitar got back to its feet and sent a powerful Dragon Pulse towards Pupitar, Pupitar got hit by it and the huge rock behind him sted into pieces. Julian "Come on Pupitar stay in, you can do it" Julianforted Pupitar into not giving up and continue the fight as it is beneficial to him. Pupitar is hurt but he got back on to the air, his body is covered with scratches and dust. Julian "Good, now use Focus st" Pupitar charged up for another powerful Focus st, Tyranitar also started to charge up for a powerful Hyper Beam as well. Both of themunched their attacks at the same time and the same happened as thest time, both attacks nullified each other but caused a huge bacsh. But suddenly Pupitar appeared out of nowhere from the smoke while using Giga Impact. Julian had instructed Pupitar to use Giga Impact as soon as his Focus st is nullified and so he did. He used Giga Impact and crashed onto Tyranitar with full force, Tyranitar felt a massive pain on its belly and was pushed back and crashed on to a tree behind it. Tyranitar roared and struck back, it nted its feet hard into the ground and started to use Brick Break on Pupitar, a hit after another, Pupitar stopped and crashed on the ground. Tyranitar grinned and moved forward to step on Pupitar. Julian "No use don''t" Julian was about to send in Infernape to the rescue but suddenly Pupitar roared and his body started to glow. Julian ''He is finally evolving, looks like this battle really put a lot of pressure on him'' Pupitar suddenly started to change his shape, the Tyranitar got startled by the blinding light and stepped back. Pupitar continued to grow as his arms started to be visible, then his legs and head, his thick tail also, the glowing body soon became bigger and bigger until it reached the same height as the opposing Tyranitar''s. The glow faded away revealing a huge Tyranitar, Julian''s Pupitar has finally evolved, he stared coldly at the opposing Tyranitar. Julian ''System show Tyranitar''s stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Tyranitar Type - Rock/Dark Level - 55 Age - 17 months Bond - 100% HP - 350 Attack - 350 Defense - 300 Sp.

Ability - Sand Stream(Unlocked), Unnerve(Unlock) ____________________ The Opposing Tyranitar roared and charged towards Julian''s Tyranitar, they both locked on to each other in a battle of strength. Both of them are equally matched in brute strength, even though the opposing Tyranitar''s level is higher than Julian''s Tyranitar they are still equal in strength, this is the difference between a pokemon which is under an experienced trainer and a wild pokemon. Julian "Tyranitar use Super Power" Julian''s Tyranitar roared and suddenly his body got covered by a red aura giving him 2x strength, feeling the power Julian''s Tyranitar roared and lifted the opposite Tyranitar from the ground and mmed it down with full force. Julian "Finish it, used Focus Punch" Tyranitar roared and focused all the energy on his hand and swung it towards the fallen Tyranitar, the Focus Punch hit the chin of the opposing Tyranitar and it gotpletely knocked out. Julian''s Tyranitar roared loudly as his victory roar, it caused half of the pokemon in the vicinity to get scared and run away. Julian "Hahaha, you are awesome Tyranitar" Julian approached Tyranitar, he is now standing 3.6 meters tall, first Julian had to look down to see Tyranitar but now he has to look up, he is now twice as tall as Julian. Tyranitar bent down and got padded by Julian, he suddenly turned around and looked at the huge destroyed rock. Julian also looked at it. Julian "What is it?" Julian asked, Tyranitar walked towards the broken rubble and picked a huge piece and crushed it between his hand, as the rock got crushed it revealed a Mega Stone inside it. Julian got surprised seeing this. Julian ''Do you feel anything?'' He asked Tyranitar. Tyranitar nodded as he looked at the orange crystal and the mega stone inside it, a clear green marble with red and ck pattern inside it. Julian ''Wait isn''t this too random to find a Mega Stone inside a stone, well this exins why the Tyranitar was here but why didn''t it break the rock and took it away.'' Julian wondered and looked at the rubbles of the broken rock. Julian ''Something is strange'' Julian used omniforce and scanned the rubbles to find the same lingering aura, it was infused in this rock. Julian ''The same thing that was controlling Chloe has also infused its aura in this rock, but why?'' Julian looked carefully and he found something. Julian "Tyranitar break the base of this rock" Tyranitar nodded and used Focus Punch and destroyed the base which was still intact. When it got destroyed it revealed an entrance to the underground. Julian ''Would you look at that'' Julian "Tyranitar you should rest" Julian called back Tyranitar into his Pokeball and looked at the entrance. Julian ''Well there is only one way to find out what''s underground''. Chapter 180 - Meeting Chloe And Daisy Julian decided to go underground and check it out himself, he walked into the entrance and to be surrounded by darkness, he could see faint outlines of the stairs leading downstairs, he knew Daisy and Chloe are down there but what is with them, he has no idea. _____________________ ?? Just before the battle. Daisy "Do you think he wille? Maybe we should go back to Sootopolis city and check on him, the disaster is already gone, I think it''s safe outside" Daisy said as she looked at Chloe who is sitting there doing something on aptop in front of her. Chloe stopped doing her work and looked at Daisy and sighed. She looked very normal right now, she didn''t look being controlled, she looked sound. Chloe "I know you are worried about him, I am too, but don''t worry he will be here. We cannot go outside because of this group called Shadows, they are after both you and me, if not for the Tyranitar outside I don''t know we will be safe here either" Daisy "How will Julian know where to find us" Chloe "I don''t know but it said he has his ways, he will find us for sure." Chloe looked at Daisy and sighed, she was also worried about Julian, she heard from Daisy that Julian left right before the disaster happened. She doesn''t know where he is and what he is doing, It said he is fine, she believed it. Chloe got back to her sense right after encountering Julian on that hill, when she returned back to LaRousse city she felt another consciousness in her, she felt it was slowly growing weaker day by day. Soon Chloe got back to full control but the consciousness still talked to her. It told her about the dangers outside and how shadows are after her, it also told here about Julian and shadows are trying to kidnap the woman by his side. She came to know about Daisy, she felt a little heavy when she found out about it but after hearing that a disaster is going to take ce and Julian is not present, she went to save Daisy. After being with Daisy for a few days they became closer, they had a simr topic to talk about that that was Julian. Soon they started to trust each other, they both talked hours about Julian and are always worried about him. Chloe "Daisy, I don''t know where he is but, trust me on this, we are a family now, Ok" Daisy nodded. Suddenly they felt the ground above their head shake. Daisy "What is happening?" Chloe "An another earthquake?" Suddenly Chloe felt a slight sting in her head. She held onto her head and closed her eyes, Daisy noticed this and got worried, she has seen this happen a few times a day, this is how the unknown pokemon keeps in contact with her. Chloe calmed down and looked at Daisy with a smile. Chloe "I told you he will find us, It told me Julian is right above us" Daisy "What?" Daisy got happy and tried to go out but Chloe stopped her and shook her head. Chloe "A battle is going outside, we cannot go there or we might get hurt and be a burden to him" Daisy calmed down and sat back on the bed with a worried expression. After continuous shaking of the ground for ten minutes, it finally became quiet. Daisy "Is it over?" Chloe "I think it is, we will know in a few minutes". ____________________ Julian walked downstairs for a while and finally noticed light downstairs. Julian ''Light? They must be there'' Julian fasten his steps and entered the room, as soon as he did he got hugged by two women, he got startled. He looked at them and noticed they were Chloe and Daisy. Julian ''Thank god they are safe'' Julian smiled and looked at them. Julian "Both of you are fine, I am relieved" Daisy "Yes we are, Chloe brought me here saying it is dangerous for me to be outside" Julian looked at Chloe and finally noticed that she looked normal. Julian "Chloe" Chloe smiled, leaned forward and kissed him. Julian "I am sorry foring thiste" Chloe shook her head. Chloe "I understand, I also have a lot of exnation to do" Julian looked at Daisy and saw her puffing her cheeks with anger, he understood why she is acting like this, he pulled her closer and kissed her as well, Daisy got a little carried away with this. Seeing this Chloe smiled mischievously. Chloe "Oh my got, Daisy you are more naughty than I thought, maybe because Julian ruined you during your time with him" Daisy got embarrassed. Daisy "NO, I was just a little stressed out before, that''s all" Julian smiled and looked at Chloe again. Julian "Chloe can you exin the current situation" Chloe became serious and nodded. Julian, Chloe, and Daisy sat down on the bed and Chloe started to speak. Chloe "Let me first properly tell what I did" Julian took a deep breath and looked at her. Chloe "I formerly worked for the Shadows" Julian was surprised hearing this, he didn''t expect Chloe to be one of them. Chloe "I was an orphan when Shadows took me in and started to train me to be a Shadow grunt, they did the same to other orphans as well, they will take orphans in and train them to be their puppets" Chloe "I was also one of their puppets, I quickly rose through the rankings and my pokemons were as strong as themanders of the Shadows, I was soon about to get promoted when I received a mission in Kanto, where I met Julian, to me it was love at first sight, I never believed in these things but seeing Julian I was proved wrong, every time I think about it, it makes me happy" Julian "It was the same for me as well" Chloe smiled. Chloe "After leaving Julian I finished my mission and returned back to Hoenn, to the shadow organization, I thought I would never meet Julian ever again, I started to miss him very much, every day became harder and harder, so I decided to leave the Shadows and find Julian to be with him" Daisy carefully listened to Chloe as well. Chloe "Once I had decided I want to leave and be with you, I went to the boss and told him that I want to leave, but he gave me one more mission toplete before I could leave. I had no choice but to ept it and so I did" Daisy "What was the mission?" Chloe "I was instructed to bring a green crystal that came from a meteorite four years ago in LaRousse city". Chapter 181 - Shadows Plan Julian "A Green crystal?" Chloe "Yes, the boss of Shadow is after this crystal, he thinks it is somehow rted to the pokemon that fought with Rayquaza four years ago" ?? Daisy "Is it the same pokemon that took control over you?" Chloe nodded her head. Chloe "Yes, it is a pokemon from outer space, we don''t know anything about it, the boss of Shadow wanted me to go and steal this crystal from the researchb of LaRousse city. When I infiltrated inside the researchb, I found the crystal and just when I was about to take it away it suddenly shed, the next thing I remember after that is I was in LaRousse city in here, with a faint memory of meeting you on that hillside" Julian already got what has happened, this crystal belongs to Deoxys and when Chloe tried to take it away, the consciousness of that crystal took over Chloe. Julian "Tell me more" Chloe "As I found myself in this ce, I was very confused, I tried to get out of here but suddenly a voice spoke to me, I didn''t understand what it said but the meaning behind it was very clear to me, it was as if it sent information straight to my head" Julian "What did it say?" Chloe "It was asking for help, it said it is trapped and it will die if it cannot get back into its crystal" Julian "So the consciousness is still inside you?" Chloe nodded Julian "What happened to the crystal?" Chloe "The league took away the crystal and stored it in their high tech vault" Julian "I see so it has no way to go back to its crystal" Chloe "Yes" Julian thought for a while, he could easily take away the crystal if he asks the league, he doubts that they will reject any of his requests. Julian "Daisy said her life was in danger, what does that mean, I know there was the disaster but why are you still here instead of going out?" Chloe "It''s the shadows" Julian "Them again?" Chloe "Yes, they somehow found out you are in Hoenn, the boss seems to be scared off you and he quickly started to look into you, they somehow found out about Daisy and were nning to use her against you, luckily that pokemon told me about this and I took away Daisy from Sootopolis city" Julian ''Looks like I have to take special care of Brad, he needs some good therapy by yours truly'' Julian started to think of different ways he would torture Brad for even thinking about kidnapping his girlfriend Chloe "When I brought her here, the pokemon was still strong and it did something to bring a Tyranitar outside, since then the Tyranitar has been outside guarding the entrance, I don''t know why but it was effective, no one was able to find us. Too bad the consciousness of this pokemon is slowly fading away, it used its power just when you arrived, now I can only feel a slight trace of it inside me" Julian frowned hearing this. Julian ''I see, Deoxys somehow infused that Mega Stone inside the rock so that the Tyranitares attracted to it, but it also made its radiation less so that the Tyranitar doesn''t get the exact location of that mega stone'' Chloe "Julian, please help it" Julian nodded, he could do at least that much to help Deoxys who saved his girlfriends'' life. Julian "I will contact the league and ask them to give that meteorite to me, I don''t think they will refuse me so you don''t need to worry, but first, let''s get out of here" Julian said and stood up and took them out of the underground room when they came outside they saw an uneven ground, burnt grass, and some broken trees. Julian "Just a little fight don''t worry much about it" Julian said as he looked at their expression. He then brought out Flygon and Pidgeot, he couldn''t bring both of them in his bike and he left this car back at the hotel. Julian "You two can sit on Pidgeot, I will sit on Flygon" Chloe looked at Pidgeot and is surprised, she didn''t expect Pidgeot to be this big, she vaguely remembered Pidgeot during the hillside battle but she didn''t remember exactly how big he was. Daisy and Chloe sit on Pidgeot and Julian sit on Flygon, they fly away back to the hotel Julian has rented. After getting back to the city, theynded on the hotel''s roof and Julian called back his pokemons, they soon got down and entered the room. Julian "Should I get a bigger room?" Julian asked as the bed is small for three of them, they could indeed adjust in but he didn''t know if they want to. Chloe "No need, we will adjust right Daisy?" Chloe said and winked at Daisy. Julian had no idea what was running in this woman''s mind. Chloe "Come daisy lets go bath together, I haven''t had a proper bath for days" Chloe dragged away Daisy with her into the bathroom. Chloe "And Julian, no peeking" Saying that they closed the door, Julian smiled wearily and looked outside the window. Julian ''Let''s hope everything goes well'' Julianid back on the bed and browsed through the inte on his phone. Soon after a few minutes, he heard the bathroom door open and he was stunned. Chloe and Daisy were standing there with just towel wrapped over their body as water still dripped through their hair. Chloe "Come on Daisy, I know you have been waiting for it" Chloe dragged Daisy on to the bed and they both jumped on Julian. Julian didn''t admit defeat and soon he was in charge, the whole day, the three bonded with each other and had fun. Chapter 182 - Aurora When he woke up Julian found himself between tow beautiful women, Chloe and Daisy, he remembered the wild night he hadst night and smiled warily. Julian ''Wellst night was great but the fun things muste to an end, I have to speed up things that I have to do'' ?? Julian got up from the bed without waking up them and freshened up, he then made some breakfast for Daisy and Chloe. They soon woke up as well and were greeted with delicious breakfast, after having their breakfast Julian decided to leave. Julian "I will go to the league headquarters here in LaRousse city and see if I can get the crystal" Chloe "I wille with you" Julian "No you stay with Daisy, it might be dangerous outside, you are strong you can protect her when I am not around" Chloe "I understand" Daisy "Julian, please be careful" Julian "Don''t worry" He kissed their forehead and walked out of the room, once he exited the hotel he decided to go straight towards the league''s branch headquarters in this city, he heard that it is a very highly guarded facility and it holds many rare and weird items as well. After hopping onto his bike he rode off, on his way he saw many robots running around the city and doing work programmed into them. Julian ''It really is a very advanced city'' Julian thought and went past them, he then came in front of the battle tower, battler tower is the most famous site in LaRousse city, people from around the worlde here to have pokemon battles, in a battle tower, a trainer registers himself and the pokemon he is going to use for the battling, after registering a trainer must battle opponents one after other until he or she is defeated, the more winning streak a trainer has the more fame and money he receives. Battle tower also has trainers called tower tycoons, they are just like gym leaders, once a trainer wins 10 battle in a row and sets a strong winning streak, he will be challenged by a tower tycoon. Of course, trainers can take rest and heal their pokemons after a battle, there is no rule that indicates that he or she has to continue battling. Julian wanted to test out this battle tower but he has other things more important to do. As he was about to go past the battle tower he suddenly noticed an aurora appear above the sky. Seeing this he frowned. Julian ''This is bad, aurora can only be seen in the north and south poles, that means the other Deoxys is already here'' Seeing that he doesn''t have much time he increased his speed. After a while, he reached the branch of the League''s headquarters, as he entered through the automatic door, he saw the staff members looking at the Aurora in the sky, he walked to the receptionist and inquired her. Julian "Who is in charge of this facility?" The Receptionist looked at Julian and got stunned, she looked at him and realized who he is. Receptionist "Champion Julian!" She eximed, hearing this the other in the building turned around and looked at Julian, soon to realize who he is. Julian ignored the gaze and asked the Receptionist once again. Julian "Who is in charge of this facility?" Receptionist "It''s Chief Salves" Julian "Inform him I am here, I have something to discuss with him" Receptionist "Right away, please wait in the VIP area, I will inform Chief Salves" Julian nodded and entered the VIP area, soon ady came in with some juice and gave it to Julian. Lady "Can I have your autograph, I am a big fan" Thedy said. Julian didn''t want to do it right now but he still gave her his autograph as he didn''t want to be rude. Julian "I would like to be alone, only inform me when Chief Salves arrives" Julian said and drank the juice, thedy nodded and walked away, she realized she got extremely lucky to be able to get his autograph, she smiled and got out of the VIP waiting room. Julian waited for a while then he suddenly noticed the door open again and the samedy walked in. Lady "Sir. Julian Chief Salves is here, please follow me" Julian got up and followed her into an elevator and started to go up. After it stopped the door opened and thedy stepped out and walked towards the metal door, she took out a card and fed it to the scanner on the side, the door opened and she entered inside, Julian followed her. As he entered this new area he saw people in ab coat working around the hugeputers, they are currently observing the Aurora that has appeared in the sky. Soon he got escorted into Chief Salves''s office. As he entered he saw a middle-aged man with ck hair sitting on his chair, noticing Julian he stood up and greeted him. Salves "Sir Julian wee, please take a seat" Salves signaleddy to walk away, thedy walked out of the room leaving Salves and Julian alone. Salves "May I ask what brings you here?" Julian "I heard that you have a green crystal stuck to a piece of a meteorite" Salves "Indeed, it is currently stored inside a highly confined space with security all around the ce, no one will be able to take it away" Julian "I want that crystal" Salves "What?" Julian "Didn''t you hear what I said?" Salves "No that''s not it, why do you want the crystal?" Julian "Something personal, it doesn''t concern you" Salves "But the league-" Julian "Give them a call and tell them I want it" Salves didn''t know what to do, Julian may not be a champion anymore but he can still hold power in the league. Salves "Ok, give me a minute" Salves walked to his desk and called the League headquarters of Hoenn in Ever Grande city. Chapter 183 - Return Back The Crystal Salves "Yes it''s me Salves from LaRousse headquarters" "....." ?? Salves "The former champion of Kanto Julian is here" "....." Salves "He said he wants the green crystal" "......" Salves "What about the Shadows?" "......" Salves "Ok then" Salves put the phone away and sighed, he then turned towards Julian who is sitting on the chair and looking outside at the aurora. Salves "Sir Julian, the league has agreed to your request" Julian nodded and stood up from the chair. Julian "Then let''s go and take a look" Salves "Then please follow me" Salves got out of his office and escorted Julian towards the underground facility where the green crystal is ced. After reaching the underground facility Julian saw men armed fully with weapons standing in line in front of a metal door. Salves walked towards the door, took out his ess card then submitted his biometrics, the door finally opened revealing the things present inside. Julian and Salves entered inside and the door behind them closed. Julian is surprised seeing what is inside this room, rare pokemon fossils he has never seen before, real stuffed ancient pokemons, pokemon eggs, evolution stones and many more. Salves then took Julian deeper into the room to reveal a secret cab, he opened it to reveal a big box made of lead, Salves opened the box to reveal the piece of meteorite he came here for. He looked at the crystal stuck to the meteorite and scanned it, he confirmed that this crystal matches the aura released by the consciousness which is inside Chloe. He took the meteorite and carefully checked it. Julian ''Now that I have this, let''s take it back to Chloe and see what happens next'' Julian put away the meteorite and looked at Salves. Julian "Then, Chief Salves I will be leaving" Salves "Before you go, be careful, the Shadow Legion is after that crystal" Julian "Don''t worry they are insignificant" Salves didn''t say anything after that, he doesn''t know why Julian would call a faction like Shadow insignificant but he knew no one can defeat Julian when ites to battle, that is why even after resigning from the champion position he is still respected. Julian walked away with the meteorite leaving behind Salves alone. Salves "I don''t know why he needs it but I hope everything will be fine" Suddenly a researcher ran towards him with a tablet in his hand. Researcher "Chief, bad news" Salves "What?" Researcher "Something extremely powerful is heading towards our city. When we used the satellite to enhance the image we saw this" The researcher passed the tablet to Salves. When Salves looked at the image he frowned. Salves "Rayquaza? Why is iting towards LaRousse city?" Salves has no idea, he gave the tablet back to the researcher. Salves "Keep an eye on it, if things go south quickly evacuate the citizens" Researcher "yes" He ran out leaving Salves alone again. Salve "Is it just coincidence for Sir Julian toe and take away the crystal and Rayquaza''s sudden appearance? I don''t know but I should inform this to the headquarters" Salves also left. ___________________ Julian got out of the league facility and looked outside, the Aurora has disappeared but he knows it is not over unless he gets rids of the shadows. Julian ''After Deoxys returns back to the crystal I will ask Chloe where is the headquarters and destroy it'' He sat on his bike and rode back to the hotel, as he walked in he saw Chloe and Daisy talking with each other andughing wholeheartedly. Julian ''They seem to get along perfectly, here I thought there would be some conflicts between them, looks like I was wrong, well a woman''s mind is something that will remain unknown to the universe'' Daisy and Chloe noticed Julian entering and became happy. Daisy "Thank god you arrived safely, I was so worried" Chloe "Yes" Julian "Don''t worry, here I brought it" Julian said and took out the crystal, as soon as he took it out a burst of psychic energy came out of Chloe''s body, Julian quickly shielded Daisy with Omniforce. Chloe lost her footing but Julian caught her quickly and ced her on the bed, she slowly opened her eyes once again and looked at Julian. Chloe "Bring it closer to me, it wants to move back into it" Julian nodded and ced the piece of meteorite next to her, slowly a green aura started toe out of Daisy and seep into the crystal. Julian used his omniforce to carefully observe this process. Julian ''It''s going to talk a long time before theypletely separate, Deoxys hadtched onto her life force to survive till now but now it got back its crystal, it should be no problem'' Julian brought out Infernape to keep a watch while he looks after this process. Daisy "Will she be alright?" Julian "Don''t worry she will be fine" Julian said and slowly infused omniforce to stabilize her lifeforce. ____________________ Inside the Shadow Legion headquarters. Grunt "Boss we found her, and it seems Chloe is also with her" Brad "What? What is Chloe''s rtionship with her, is she also somehow rted to that man?" Grunt "I don''t know boss, I only saw those two talking with each other inside the hotel room" Brad "Whatever, quickly got and take them in, let''s see what he will do when he finds out his beloved is with us" Grunt "Ok Boss" The Grunt walked away, soon a scientist walked in with an excited expression. Scientist "Boss, great news" Brad "What is it?" Scientist "Our device isplete, upon that the juvenile Rayquaza is heading towards LaRousse city, we can take control over it, just give us yourmand and we will do it" Brad "Hahahahaha great, once we have control over Rayquaza, then I will see how Mr. Champion will do". Chapter 184 - Deoxys Rampage Julian sat down with Daisy and looked at Chloe, her eyes are closed and a thin line of the green aura is leaking out of her and entering the crystal beside her. Infernape was on guard as Julian was also busy with Chloe. ?? Suddenly the door of their hotel blew up. Daisy got startled and looked at the door to see four men wearing brown uniforms with L printed on them. Julian was busy with Chloe so he didn''t give any attention to it, he let Infernape handle the rest. The four Shadow Grunts were surprised seeing Julian inside the room as well. Grunt 1 "Was there supposed to be a man as well" Grunt 2 "I don''t know, let''s take the two women and knock him out" Grunt 3 "Let''s take that pokemon as well, it looks strong" Grunt 4 "Let''s do it" The four grunts moved in and took out a Pokeball and tossed it to bring out their pokemons. Infernape looked at these four grunts like they are idiots, he then looked at the four pokemon surrounding him, these four pokemons were even weaker than his juniors. He Just stared at them with his eyes, the four pokemon suddenly felt chills and ran away, seeing this the four grunts looked dumbfounded, the pokemons that they raised for years ran away even before doing anything. Infernape looked at the four grunts, he suddenly disappeared from his spot and appeared behind them, he knocked them out in one sweep. He then looked around and used some clothes to tie them up and threw them to the side and went back to his spot. Daisy sighed in relief and looked at the four tied up unconscious grunts. Daisy "Thank you Infernape" Infernape smiled back and nodded. The process was sooning to an end and Chloe''s eyes soon started to flicker, Julian noticed this and increased the flow of Omniforce to help her finish the process properly. Soon the final green aura came out of her and went into the crystal. Chloe finally woke up and looked around, she felt different, he felt lite and refreshed, it was like a huge burden was lifted from her. She saw Julian was holding her hand the entire time, she got emotional and hugged him. Julian ''Looks like Deoxys'' consciousness has fully moved into the crystal and is no longertched on to her life force'' Daisy also joined in for a hug. Julian finally looked at the four grunts that are tied up at the corner of the room. Julian "Well done Infernape" As Julian approached them, he suddenly heard a hugemotion outside, he looked outside the window and saw all the machines were going crazy in the city, seeing this he frowned. Julian ''Looks like the other Deoxys has already started to search for its partner, I have to be quick'' Chloe "Julian" Julian "What is it?" Chloe "I think this pokemon is still not back to its full health" Julian "What do you mean?" Chloe "It talked to me, it said a part of it consciousness is still in the researchb when it was brought there, it released a part of its consciousness to look around the facility and when I came in contact with the crystal the rest went into me as it wanted to look around the outside world." Julian "I see so we have to find the other part of its consciousness also" Chloe "Not only that but it has lost most of its energy, it needs a lot of energy to remake its body, that was one of the reasons it decided to go outside to look for a catalyst" Julian ''If I remember correctly, the scientists who were researching the crystal had created a device that can do the exact, but they couldn''t achieve it because of the device not having enough power'' Julian "I think I know what to do, Chloe take Daisy and get out of the city, it going to be dangerous to stay here anymore" Chloe understood what Julian meant as she saw the carnage going outside as well, the city''s police department also announced an evacuation. Chloe "Julian the Shadow headquarters in the north of the city, you can enter it by going into a small broken down house near the jungle, Daisye let''s go" Chloe said and held Daisy''s hand to take her away. Daisy "Julian please return safely" Julian "Don''t worry nothing will happen" Chloe left with Daisy, soon Jason saw Chloe and Daisy on the back of a Smence and fly away. Julian "Infernape let''s go" Infernape nodded and followed behind Julian. As soon as Julian got out he saw chaos, the esctors alongside the road are going crazy, the robots are acting crazy and crashing into each other, he looked at the sky and saw the aurora appearing once again. Julian "Infernape let''s hurry" Julian and Infernape got on his bike and rode off towards the battle tower where the research facility is also present. On his way, he saw Deoxys'' clones flying around the sky looking for its partner, Julian could end this all by just giving away the iplete crystal but he knows Deoxys won''t go away unless it finds its partner''s other half of the consciousness. ____________________ Inside the research facility, Ash and his friends are with a boy with white hair named Tory, a young teenage girl wearing sses named Reba, a fat teenage body named Sid, a young brown hair teenage boy named Rafe and two little girls named Audrey and Kathryn, looking at the screen in front of them. Reba "I think it is looking for something" Ash "What could that be?" Reba "I analyzed the aurora and its wavelength matches Tory''s friend" Tory "My friend?" Tory looked at the weirdly shaped deformation in the air, it moved around and looked like a living creature. Ash "Maybe it is searching for Tory''s friend" Brock "That could be a possibility but how do we know if that pokemon is hostile towards us or not" "You don''t have to worry about Deoxys, it not hostile" Suddenly two people walked into the room, one is a middle-aged man with white hair and another is a woman with ck hair wearing sses. Chapter 185 - Battle Between Rayquaza And Deoxys Tory "Dad?" Tory said as he looked at the middle-aged man that just walked in, this man is Professor Lund, and he is also Tory''s father, the woman next to him is his assistant Yuko. ?? Reba "Professor, you said Deoxys, is it the name of that pokemon?" Lund "Yes, that is Deoxys, it is a pokemon from outer space, it came to earth four years ago and it had a battle with a Rayquaza, I thought it died during that battle but it looks like it is still alive" May "Professor why do you think it''s not hostile" Lund "Look at it, it''s not harming anyone, it is just trying to evacuate the people living here to search for its friend, it is using electromaic waves to find its friend which caused the malfunction of theputer and machines. Every machine here release electromaic waves which are interfering with its sense, even humans and pokemons have this kind of waves which is further increasing its difficulty to find it''s friend, so its removing people and pokemon from the city" Brock "I see, but what do we do" Lund looked at his son Tory and then at the distorted air like image which is moving around in the air. Lund "Son we cannot return your friend back to Deoxys until we put it back to its crystal" Max "Crystal?" Lund "When the meteorite crashed four years ago, not just one but two alien pokemon entering our world, we named it Deoxys after my team witnessed its battle with Rayquaza, in the crash site we found a green crystal, we brought it back here to the research facility, at first we didn''t know what it was but soon we found out it was a core that supports Deoxys'' life, the green crystal had lost its power so it couldn''t form a body for itself, we tried to help it but we couldn''t provide enough power for it to regenerate its new body" May "The what happened?" Lund "One day an evil organization tried to steal it but the league interfered and stopped them but they took away the green crystal with them, If we cannot get back the green crystal we cannot stop Deoxys and Rayquaza''s battle, they both will destroy themselves" Ash "Can''t we ask the league to give it back" Lund "Its moreplicated than that, League is a very huge organization that runs the whole world, our research facility doesn''t have much power to ask it back from them" "No need to worry I have the crystal" Suddenly they heard a voice and turned around to see a young man with a ck coat and an Infernape by his side ____________________ Julian rode his bike and was about to reach the battle tower when he suddenly noticed Rayquazae down and circle around the battle tower then attacked an empty space with a hyper beam, suddenly Deoxys hiding on that spot got exposed and it started to fight with Rayquaza. Julian ''They already started to battle, I have to be quick'' Julian turned the elerator up and rode towards the battle tower. As he reached the battle tower he quickly got off the bike with Infernape and headed towards the research facility. When he got near the facility room he heard the people inside talk about Deoxys, he entered the room and told them he has the crystal. ____________________ Seeing Julian, Ash and his friend got excited seeing Julian. Ash "Julian, you said you have the crystal?" Julian "Indeed" Julian took out the green crystal stuck on the piece of meteorite and ced it on a table. Lund "That''s the one" Professor Lund said as he looked at the green crystal. Brock "How did you get it?" Julian "Just did some talking with the league that''s all" Julian had no time to waste so he went directly to the point, he pointed at the distorted shape in the air. Julian "Put that thing inside the crystal then supply it with power so that it can get back its body and stop its partner from rampaging" Ash "Wait, how do we do that?" Julian facepalmed himself. Julian "Use you electric pokemons to supply power to the machine which can convert it to energy and supply it to the crystal, I have to go now, I will check outside what is happening" Ash "Wait I will alsoe with you" Julian "No stay here, it''s dangerous outside" Even though Ash had his monstrous luck and is the main character of this world, Julian is not an idiot to let a 10-year-old kid go out and experience danger, this is still a real world. Julian walked out of the researchb and looked outside, he saw Rayquaza and Deoxys destroying the buildings and infrastructures around the city. Julian "Infernape, let''s go" Julian sprinted towards the direction the battle is taking ce with Infernape behind his back. On their way, they got interrupted by crazy malfunctioned robots which they destroyed by punches and kicks. After going through a 10-minute rampage of their own, they finally reached near the site where Rayquaza and Deoxys are currently fighting. Rayquaza suddenlyunched a Hyper Beam at Deoxys but it curled up and created a forcefield to protect itself, the Hyper Beam deflected away from the forcefield and hit a pir supporting a railway bridge above them, suddenly the bridge copsed and fell down on Rayquaza, burying it under the rubbles. Deoxys moved in to finish of Rayquaza when suddenly a came out from the sky and captured both of them and zapped them with full power. Seeing this Julian frowned and sprinted towards the direction. Chapter 186 - Controlling Rayquaza? When Julian reached the area he saw Rayquaza and Deoxys trapped inside a huge, suddenly he heard a gunshot and something came shooting and stuck onto Rayquaza''s head, Julian looked at the direction from where the shot was taken, he saw a man in blue hair wearing a white long coat with ''SL'' written on it and a weird green gun in his hand. Julian ''Someone from Shadow'' ?? Julian looked at Rayquaza and saw a cross-shaped badge on Rayquaza''s head, he frowned, he didn''t know what it was so he cannot carelessly destroy it to save Rayquaza, he had no idea what it is. The manughed as he looked at Rayquaza andughed. "Hahaha, is this what it means to hit two birds with one stone, or should I say two pokemons with one" Hearing these words Julian felt the worst cringe he ever had since he came to this world. Julian ''The fuck is wrong with this man?'' "Haha, I Gama has captured Rayquaza and the other world pokemon, hahaha" This man''s name is Gama and he is one of the four heads of the Shadow. Julian "Stop bbering like an idiot ande down here" Julian said while looking at Gama. Hearing someone calling him an idiot Gama turned and looked to see a young man wearing a long ck coat and an Infernape by his side. Seeing this young man Gama got startled, he thought no one is around the vicinity but looks like someone wants to interfere with his business. Gama "Haaa? Who are you calling an idiot, do you even know who I am? I am the great Gama the strongest in the Shadow Legion." Julian "I said stop your stupid bber ande down" Hearing Julian talk shit again Gama got angry. Gama "How dare you, you are wishing for your death" Gama "Hydreigon,e out" Gama called out his Hydreigon and hopped on it and came down towards Julian. Julian ''A Hydreigon, I guess he is not bluffing when he said he is the strongest in Shadow Legion'' Training a Hydreigon and making it evolve it to its fullest is harder than rising a Tyranitar. Gama "Kid you have offended me now you die, Hydreigon, use Dark Pulse kill him" His Hydreigon roared and its three mouths opened wide to release three powerful Dark Pulse at Julian. Suddenly it noticed Infernape behind Julian staring at it with cold eyes, it suddenly froze, it doesn''t know what is happening but just a stare from Infernape rendered it useless. Gama "Hydreigon what are you doing attack his" Hydreigon shook off this feeling after hearing Gama''s voice, it roared loudly and shout three Dark Pulse with its three heads towards Julian. Julian "Infernape" Suddenly Infernape disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of Julian and with a roundhouse kick he destroyed all the Dark Pulse in one go, seeing this Gama''s eyes went wide but it was toote. Infernape disappeared again and reappeared in front of Hydreigon and hit it with an uppercut using Focus Punch, Gama fell off from Hydreigon and Hydreigon was sent flying into the sky and crashed back on the hard ground and got knocked out. Gama looked at his Hydreigon and got shocked, he couldn''t believe what just happened, he couldn''t even Mega evolve his pokemon before it got knocked out. Julian walked towards Gama and grabbed his cor and lifted him up in the air. Julian "Now tell me what is that thing you put on Rayquaza''s head?" Gama "Hahaha, fuck off I don''t answer anyone" As soon as Julian heard this, he turned around Gama and hold the back of his head and smashed it to the ground. Gama''s nose broke and a crack sound could be heard. Julian lifted him back in the air, Gama''s face was bloody and blood flowed out of his broken nose continuously. Julian "Now let''s repeat the question, what did you put on Rayquaza''s head" Gama started to cry from the pain he was suffering, he thought that he could just avoid Julian''s question by rejecting it but he didn''t expect him to get mmed face first on the hard ground. Gama "I will tell, please don''t hurt me, that is a device which will help us control Rayquaza" Julian "What will happen if I break it?" Gama "It will send a huge electric pulse into Rayquaza and cause it to go berserk and destroy everything, the boss made this so that no one will be able to free Rayquaza from his control" Julian ''As I expected, they had already prepared something as a backup, good thing I didn''t jump in to destroy that thing on Rayquaza''s head." Julian took away Gama''s pokeballs and Hydreigon and also his mega stone so that he won''t be a nuisanceter. Julian "Where is your boss right now" Gama "You are toote, the machine that controls Rayquaza is already finished, we found an alternate method to power it up and control Rayquaza and its Mega form without the need of Mega Stones, even if you reach the headquarters now it would be toote, the device is now on Rayquaza, soon it will start to follow the boss''smands." Julian frowned hearing this. Suddenly he heard Rayquaza roar, he looked at it and saw the device on its head glow and release a spark, suddenly its eyes turned red and it started to struggle, it hit Deoxys from its tail several times as it struggled to get out of the, soon the suction mechanism of the that of stuck to the ground to turned off and Rayquaza tore off from the and flew towards the forest area of the city. Gama "Haha it has already started, Rayquaza is under our control and soon we will take over the world" Julian put an end to his bber and knocked him out, Julian was not worried about this Rayquaza because it is just a young one, not fully reached its adulthood, it is not the one that appeared 3000 years ago to stop Primal Kyogre and Groudon, this Rayquaza in front of him couldn''t defeat even one of them in their normal form forget about their Primal form. Julian would put this Rayquaza on a level above the champions but below any of his old pokemon, any of his old pokemon could defeat this Rayquaza. He had overestimated this threat but it was not so big after allpared to thest one. Julian ''Thank god it''s not the one from 3000 years ago'' Julian though and went after the Rayquaza. Chapter 187 - Infiltrate. Julian and Infernape went behind Rayquaza to help it, Julian looked back and saw two Deoxyses were also following them, he was surprised seeing this, one the green crystal Deoxys has created its own body, two it had met with its partner. He stopped and looked at them, they both also stopped and looked at Julian. ?? Julian "So you want to help?" The two Deoxys nodded. Julian didn''t need any extra help but still, if they wanted to he didn''t mind, he turned around and started to sprint again followed by Infernape and the two Deoxys. Soon they came across a broken down building. Julian ''Chloe said I can enter the headquarters through the broken down building. Suddenly the ground started to shake and Julian got startled, he kept his bnce and carefully looked at Rayquaza simply hovering in the sky, suddenly the broken down house started to lift up in the air and revealed a huge entrance, Rayquaza entered through the entrance and disappeared from their site, Julian also quickly jumped in with Infernape and Deoxyses. As Julian entered through the entrance with Infernape and the two Deoxyses the entrance behind them closed, Julian is now in a free fall but he is not worried, he enforced Omniforce in his legs andnded with a huge bang on the ground, Infernape alsonded safely, Deoxyses easily floated and came down. As soon as theynded on the floor they saw a huge number of grunts in front of them with their pokemons. Julian "Are you idiots?" Julian said and sent out Snox. Julian "Snox, clear the path" Hearing Julian Snox started to walk towards the grunts, seeing a monstrous giant Snox heading towards them the grunts and pokemons who are with them got scared but they still attacked. Various types of attack wereunched at Snox, one attack after another creating explosion everywhere, the walls around the area were chipping away and smoke was starting to umte blinding everyone''s vision, the vents on the roof soon started to suck up the smoke and soon Snox was revealed again. He didn''t even have a scratch on his body, he once again took a step forward and swung his arms at the nearest grunts and pokemon, just one swing and he swatted 10 grunts and pokemon to the side. Seeing this all the grunts and their pokemons had two things in their mind. ''Monster, run'' All of them started to rush towards the exit blocking Julian''s path, this really annoyed him, seeing this the Deoxyses stepped in and used mass hypnosis and put each and every one of them in a trance and making them move away from the exit. Seeing the path was cleared Julian started to move forward. Julian "Snox be in the front, swat away anyone whoes in front of us" Hearing Julian Snox started to walk, each of his steps would cause the ground to shake making the grunts who were waiting in front of them scared even before they see who they are going to face. _________________________ Inside the Shadow Headquarters itself, Brad and the remaining three heads were looking at the screen in which Julian is destroying his grunts one after the other. Beta "So he is the previous champion of Kanto" He is quite handsome, I would love to have him as a toy for myself, a woman in blonde hair wearing a very tight and short white uniform that revealed 70% of her body said as she saw the screen and licked her lips. Alpha "Hahahaha, I don''t know why you are so scared boss, we have Rayquaza now, and from the looks of it he doesn''t seem that strong" A man in red hair and a bulky body, wearing a white tank top said with a mad grin on his face. Omega "Shut up you two, can''t you see he isn''t even trying there, we have to face his together, he already took out Gama, we have to work together" Brad "Looks like one of you still has some brains, go out there and protect me, destroy him but don''t kill him, I was to see him die slowly, I have had many sleepless nights just because of him" Beta "Boss you should take a chill if he can defeat the 10manders who will take him on simultaneously then we will step in." She said as she looked at Jason carefully. Omega "Beta is right, his fight with themanders might help us understand how he battles, but first, he has to pass through them and even if he did I don''t think he will be in peak condition to battle us" Brad looked at these three with cold eyes, he couldn''t do anything about them, they were the forces that would help him in world domination so he cannot get rid of them even though two of them were numskulls, Omega is ok but he is still underestimating Julian. Brad ''If these fools go down, I can only rely on myself'' Brad thought and looked at the Rayquaza behind him who is hovering silently there as its eyes were glowing red. Brad ''Ah, Rayquaza you look beautiful, and with the machine, I have created, I can even Mega Evolve you and defeat Julian, no one can stop me from dominating the world, I want power, the power to rule over all'' Bradughed within himself as he thought about his sitting on top of everyone, he then looked at a huge machine behind Rayquaza, it had a container which contained some kind of green glowing substance, it was connected to a huge machine which had electric poles on the side and a big screen in the middle which is disying Rayquaza''s health condition and his control over it. Brad ''What a beautiful this I have created'' Brad praised himself as he looked forwards for his dreams toe true. XXXXXXXXXXX A/N - I was reading somement and I came across one yesterday which said that Julian being a war veteran, he doesn''t kill at all. I am bringing up this because I think some of you should understand that being a war veteran doesn''t mean he should kill, killing should be thest thing one should have in his or her mind. A person who fights in war doesn''t kill because he wants to but because he needs to so that he can protect his country from foreign invaders so that the people of his or her country is safe and can sleep peacefully knowing that someone is out there risking his life and protecting them. You can go to any war veteran and ask do they enjoy killing or do they want to kill, the answer is always ''I would never wish to do that again''. And if you have ever talked to one, you may have noticed they are the kindest and gentle person you will ever meet, yes they have a very strict aura around them but you will never meet someone who is as kind as them I noticed that people have a misconception that an MC who might be rted to war is a killer or any other and he will kill anyone who stands in his way. I think it is all because people have read too many martial art novels and seeing the mc kill people just for simple orpletely stupid reason has made them think killing is amon urrence. Killing has a consequence and Julian''s knows what it is as he has killed in the past, every person he kills, there is someone out there who cares for that person, maybe he has a son, daughter, wife, father, mother, they will mourn for him. Do you think you will be able to kill a person knowing what great sadness and remorse you will bring to his or her family, Julian knows this as he was in war he has seen families die due to starvation, children bing orphans, wife bing widows, mother and father going into shock. Why do you think Julian doesn''t want to kill, because he doesn''t want to ruin one''s family, even if that man or woman is bad, doesn''t mean his or her families are, why do they have to suffer for his wrongdoing. I request readers to view it through the MC''s eyes, not from the outside, put yourself in his position and think will you be able to kill someone knowing that his whole family will suffer just because of your one single foolish decision. Ok, I will stop my ranting now, this is a very sensitive topic and I really wanted to address it and tell my readers to not view killing as amon urrence, killing has consequences that Julian knows. Some of you who have read my other novel will think it is very hypocritical of me talking about killing should always be thest option when my other MC Jason kills anyone left and right with no concern. Jason is apletely different character, he is not noble as Julian, his story tells why he ended in the path of killing he is in. Unlike Julian who had a family, someone he loved and the reason he killed is so he can protect the people he loves. Ok enough rambling, have a great day. Chapter 188 - Destroying The Commanders Julian followed Snox deeper into the Shadow Legion''s headquarters, it was all too easy for him, Snox didn''t have to do much work at all because of the two Deoxyses taking care of the normal grunts, Snox would sometimes swat the grunts away if they get near but most of the time he was quite free. Julian ''This is going easier than I thought, we haven''t encountered anymanders until now, let''s see what happens when we go further'' ?? Soon Julian''s wait was over when he got blocked by three Commanders, they all had their ace pokemon next to them, all of them looked strong and all three of them are holding Mega Stones. Julian looked at them with no expression on his face, he thought he would at least face fivemanders at a time but he was wrong, they only sent three. Julian ''Or they could just be sacrificial pawns to figure out my strength'' Julian "Snox take care of them" Hearing Julian Snox stepped forwards, with each stride the ground shook, the threemanders looked at the iing Snox and gulped down their saliva. Commanders "Let''s do this, Mega Evolve" All the threemanders shed their keystone and the pokemons next to them started to glow. The three pokemons are Camerupt, Beedrill, and Manectric, they all evolved into their Mega Form and released a powerful aura. Commander 1 "Beedrill use Double Edge" Commander 2 "Camerupt use Eruption" Commander 3 "Manectric use Thunder" All of themunched their most powerful moves towards Snox, Camerupt and Manectric attacked with their special moves and hit Snox causing the surroundings to get destroyed. Beedrill then moved in using Double Edge through the Smoke, even though Snox couldn''t be seen due to the smoke, there was no way Beedrill could miss such a huge target. As Beedrill went into the smoke it didn''te out from it. Commander 1 "Beedrille out" He got worried and called out his Beedrill but there was just a loud buzzing sounding from the smoke, soon the smoke got cleared due to the continuous pping of Beedrill''s wings, everybody now could see Snox, they were shocked because there was not even a single scratch on Snox and upon that he has caught Beedrill by its Stinger, Beedrill is trying its best to get away from Snox but it was all useless, it poked Snox arms with its spiky feet but Snox felt nothing. Suddenly Snox smashed Beedrill on the ground and nted it into the hard ground, it lost its mega evolution and fainted. Its trainer is shocked, Snox just used pure strength to destroy a pokemon. Snox then hit the ground with his arms and used Stone Edge, he separated Stone Edge into two different directions and sent it towards Mega Camerupt and Mega Manectric. Blue rock spikes came out of the ground and sted both Manectric and Camerupt into the air and nted them on the roof, they lost their mega evolution as well and were stuck to the ceiling, knocked out. Seeing their pokemon not even able to fight back, themanders got scared, tore off their uniform and ran away with their fainted pokemons. They didn''t care what happens to the Shadow afterward, they are already strong and can get any kind of job to live a proper life. Julian "Snox, let''s keep moving" Snox nodded and walked forwards, as they went in they didn''t meet many grunts, and even if they did they would just run away. Who in the right mind would want to face off against these monsters?. After a minute walk, Julian and his pokemon along with the Two Deoxys came across a big room and they were greeted by sevenmanders with their ace pokemon aside them. Julian ''Now at least they take me seriously but it''s still useless, from the looks of it this is theirst line of defense and soon I will face off the heads and Brad.'' All themanders looked at Julian and sweat dripped down their back, they had seen it all, how he destroyed their entire force with just one pokemon on the lead and two Deoxyses on the side, his Infernape which is by his side didn''t even take any action. Themanders were ready for this huge fight, they all shed their Keystones and the pokemons beside them started to glow and mega evolve. The two Deoxyses stepped forward to the battle, even though Snox could easily take them down he has to take them on one on one as he is not as fast as Julian''s other pokemons. Soon a line of Mega Evolution pokemon was standing in front of Snox and the two Deoxyses. Mega Scizor, Mega Medicham, Mega Bte, Mega Pinsir, Mega Ampharos, Mega Aggron, Mega Houndoom. Seeing the line up of Mega Evolved pokemons in front of him, Julian wondered how long has Shadow Legion knew about Mega Evolution. Julian ''Well any way let''s get over this quickly, I want to go back'' Julian "Infernape join in the fray, let''s get over with this and go back" Infernape nodded and stepped forwards as well. Suddenly the Mega Evolved pokemons of themanders attacked with all their power towards the four pokemon on Julian side. Seeing the attacking towards them, Snox just stood there and scratched his belly, the two Deoxyses put on their defense form, Infernape just disappeared from his stop. All the attacks joint force and hit the three pokemons in front of them, the explosion is huge and itpletely destroyed the surroundings and the walls of the room, even the roof above cracked and fell down but the pokemons moved away and dodged the rubbles. The room is covered with smoke and dust and themanders are waiting in anticipation. Soon their wait was over and finally, it was revealed to them, Snox was just standing there with his body covered with dust and he coughed twice to get the dust out of his throat, the two Deoxyses were hovering up in the air, their Defense form is not something anything could breach, they need more than that to take down Defense form Deoxys. They didn''t even notice Infernape was already behind them, they hadpletely forgotten about Infernape because of the shock they are experiencing. Julian "Ok too much time has already been wasted, guys finish it off". Chapter 189 - Plan To Escape? As soon as they heard Julian voice, Mega Aggron which was standing there tensed, felt a sharp pain on its back, before it knew it got smashed into the rubbles and lost its mega form and got knocked out, themanders didn''t even know what happened but when they looked at the direction where Mega Aggron was standing, Infernape stood there with smokeing off his fist. Snox stepped up and took a deep breath and suddenlyunched a Hyper Beam towards Mega Houndoom and Mega Ampharos and sent them sting through multiple broken walls and they got knocked out as well. ?? The two Deoxys suddenly transformed into Attack form and released a powerful psychic st at Mega Bte and Mega Medicham knocking them out as well. Infernape appeared right in front of Mega Pinsir and hit its face with a powerful Fire Punch and nted it to the ground, it lost its mega form and fainted. It was all over within seconds, themander fell on their back andpletely lost hope, they just left with their mindspletely nk, they even forgot about their ambition to rule over the world once they conquered it sessfully, but now seeing they couldn''t even put up a fight they lost hope. Seeing them leave dejected Julian didn''t bother them and moved forward. _____________________ Inside a huge room, the three heads were looking at the big screen in front of them. Alpha "What the fuck, can we even take his on together?" Beta "Looks like Brad was not kidding when he said he was scared of this handsome young man" Omega "Should we run away, from what we saw we have no chance of winning, we don''t want to risk our life by getting captured by him and sent to the league" Hearing Omega, Alpha and Beta fell into deep thought. Beta ''What he said is true, I cannot waste my life by getting caught here, I am too young to be in custody of the league, no way in hell I am going to stay, I will run away right now'' Beta already made her decision, she was just in Shadow because she had nothing else interesting to do, world domination sounded interesting to her so she decided to join Brad when he came to her with the offer. Alpha ''I don''t know what should I do, I cannot go back to my home town, they won''t except me there, I don''t have a ce to stay, and the money I have will all be useless once I run away, there is no way the league won''t be able to trace my ount and delete it, should I stay and fight till the end to see what happens,e to think of it, these two by my side are as strong as champions, if we three joined forces we might be able to take down this Julian guy. He is also just a champion and even I could take down sevenmanders at the same time with four pokemons by my side'' Alpha was having apletely different take on this situation, he is dumb but the most powerful among the three. He always tried to get away with brute force so he cannot think rationally when faced against an opponent he has no idea about. Omega ''I don''t know what should I do, if I stay here I can use Brad and the Rayquaza as a cover and escape silently, I still have some research I need to do, I cannot get caught'' Omega is also nning to escape but by using Brad as his cover that is. Beta "I don''t know what I will do, ahh this is giving me a headache I need to take a break, I need to go to the washroom" Saying so Beta walked out of the room, little did Omega and Alpha know that she just made a run for herself. Alpha "I think I will stay behind, the boss also has Rayquaza under his control we should be fine if we work together" Omega ''Idiot, he still underestimates the opponent, well its better for me this way, the more people face off against this Julian, the more it is easy for me to escape'' Omega nodded his head at Alpha, this muscle head though Omega agreed with him and felt he made the right choice. _______________________ Brad is in his own office as he looked at the monitor on his desk, it disyed the footage of Julian sweeping the floor out of themanders. Brad "Just you wait, I will destroy you, then destroy everyone you care about" Brad roared as he saw the destruction Julian caused by just entering the headquarters. Brad "I cannot trust those numskulls as well, I gave them the position of the heads because they are as strong as champions and I needed someone like them, but now Gama ispletely useless but he still did the job he was meant to do, Beta is a cunning bitch, she will definitely make a run for her life, little does she know I have nned it from beginning, Alpha is a muscle head he will be easy to manipte so no need to worry about him, the one who is a real threat is Omega, I don''t know what he is thinking of the current situation, he would do anything to not get caught. But they all are fools I had already nned it from the beginning how to take care of them if they decided to betray me" Brad banged the desk and broke it with anger. Brad "Julian it''s all because of you that my Shadow Legion has fallen apart, I promise I will skin you alive" Brad shouted in anger. Chapter 190 - Meeting Brad Brad looked at the monitor in front of him again and switched to another camera footage, he is currently looking at Omega and Alpha. Brad ''Where is that bitch?'' ?? As he saw only Alpha and Omega in the room he frowned, he started to change the camera footage and finally saw her, she is getting into a mini jet. Brad "This bitch is already trying to escape, how dare she betray me, let me show you what is waiting for you, once I deal with the Intruder of course" Brad said a pressed a button below his desk. The heads of the Shadow didn''t know one thing and that is they were under 24/7 surveince under Brad, what they eat, who they meet, who they fuck, everything was known to Brad. He is not a fool he never trusted these people, he only kept them for the power they hold. As Beta took a seat on the driving seat, suddenly the seat belts of the seattched on to her and tied up her hands and legs. Beta was shocked, she didn''t expect this to happen. Suddenly the walls inside the mini jet opened and two mini-drones came out of it and hovered in front of her, the front of the drones opened revealing a tiny hole. Suddenly the two drones shot thin needles which are attached to very thin steel strings towards Beta, the needle dug into her skin half way just above her breasts. She got zapped hard and got paralyzed, she could see, hear, breath but couldn''t move a finger right now. The screen in front of her turned on revealing Brad on it. Brad "Do you really think I am such a fool that I wouldn''t notice you trying to betray me. Hahaha did you really expect I would go easy on you just because you said you love me and give your body to me every day? I never trusted you from the beginning, since you tried to y I also decided to y along with your little act. You were under 24/7 hour surveince under me, I knew everything you did. Since you decided to betray me I will break you but first, let me take care of the intruder, I wille to you after everything is over" The screen turned off. Beta didn''t expect herself to get caught, she thought Brad was just another one of those men who she could seduce with her body, and Brad, of course, took advantage of her many times by acting dumb in front of her and let her think she could seduce him anytime she wants. She is scared right now, she can''t get out of her because she is paralyzed, she wants to get out of here right now, now she hopes that. She now hopes Julian to somehow take down Brad. ____________________ Back in the room where Omega and Alpha are sitting Omega "Where is Beta? She should be back by now" Alpha "Don''t know, she should have returned by now" Omega frowned and looked at the screen, Julian is getting closer towards the room where Rayquaza is. Omega "Let''s forget about her, we should go to Brad, we should join forces and fight him" Alpha "Ya lets go" Alpha got up and walked out of the room, Omega followed behind him with a frown. Omega ''Shit, that bitch must have made a run for it leaving use behind, thank god this idiot is still here'' Omega thought and walked behind him. ________________________ Julian kept moving forward, he didn''t encounter anyone for ten minutes, he realized that this base is very huge. Julian ''It must have taken months for it to getpleted'' As he came near and nearer to the room where Rayquaza was in he stopped, he looked at the huge metal door in front of him. Julian ''They must be inside'' Julian though and looked at Infernape, Infernape move forward and punched the door with full force, the door got ripped open and crashed down on the floor. Julian entered and was greeted by two people standing in front of them, a bulky man and a tall man with sses. They are wearing white long coats, Julian recognized them as the heads of the Shadow Legion. Julian ''Just two of them?'' Julian thought and looked past them, there he saw it, Rayquaza hovering over a huge machine which is emitting a bright green light. Rayquaza is fully under control by this machine, it just looks like a brainless machine which is just there to take orders. Soon he heard footstepsing from behind the machine, soon he saw the man behind everything, it is Brad. Brad "Wee Julian, we talked once before, even though it was not a face to face conversation, it is a very memorable moment in our life" Julian just looked at him. Julian "Not at all, you are just one of the insignificant people in my life, Ipletely had forgotten about you until I came across your syndicate again" Brad fumed in anger when he heard this, the man who caused him many sleepless nights, didn''t even remember him, this is insulting for him. Brad "Hmm, anyways today is thest day you will be standing on your feet, I will break them, then I will go after you beloved girlfriend and make her my mindless puppet, you will regret trying to interfere with my Shadow Legion." Brad hit something he shouldn''t have, Julian''s anger started to grow, but he didn''t move, he just stared at Brad coldly. Sensing his anger Infernape also became angry, his fire started to go crazy and turned to purple from blue. Snox also sensed Julian''s anger and he squinted his eyes, he also became angry. Suddenly the pressure released from Infernape and Snox made Brad, Omega and Alpha''s knee go weak. Brad "Quick what are you doing send out your pokemons" Brad shouted. Omega didn''t want to do this, he didn''t expect Brad to hide behind them, he had no choice to fight right now. Omega "Metagrosse out" Omega sent out a giant Metagross. Alpha "Machampe out" Alpha sent out his Machamp. Both of those are their ace pokemon. Brad "Are you idiots what are you waiting Mega Evolve them and finish him off" Hearing Brad they grit their teeth. Alpha/Omega "Mega Evolve". Chapter 191 - Just One Move Omega and Alpha soon shed their keystones and the mega ring on their pokemon glowed soon they started to Mega Evolve. Metagross evolved into the mega form Julian had seen on the anime, while on the other hand, Machamp''s mega evolution ispletely new to him. ?? It now has six hands, two huge hands which areing from its back are lifting its body up in the air, the other two big which areing from the back of its shoulder are raised up, its body didn''t change much and it still had two normal sized hands connected to his shoulder ________________ /otchono/art/068-Mega-Machamp-469359606 Mega Machamp, art by Otchono. ________________ Julian is surprised by seeing this Mega Machamp, no matter how many times it is, a new mega evolution always fascinates him. Alpha "Machamp use Close Combat on Snox" Omega "Metagross use Zen Headbutt" Both Mega Metagross and Mega Machamp charged towards Snox and Infernape. Mega Machamp came right in front of Snox and looked him in his eyes, Snox just stared at this six armed Machamp which is still below his height even with the help of its two big hands. It started to punch Snox rapidly with full power, one punch after the other, the big hands swung hard and hit with powerful hooks while its small arms did rapid fast jabs. It had a grin on its face, it had finally met something it could use its full power on. As Mega Machamp stopped after getting tired, it looked up to see its opponent''s knocked out face, as it did it froze on the spot, it saw Snox staring angrily at it, Machamp felt a sense of danger he has never felt before, it tried to escape but before it could Snox made his move. Snox grabbed one of its small arms and pulled it towards him, he then used Zen Headbutt and headbutted its head and sted Mega Machamp straight into the ground, Mega Machamp got nted straight 2 meters into the ground, only its four huge arms are sticking out, it also soon disappeared and Mega Machamp returned back to its normal form,pletely knocked out. Metagross charged towards Infernape with full speed using Zen Headbutt, Infernape stood his ground and purple mes started to spin like a vortex around his right hand, as soon as Metagross came near Infernape, Infernape made his move, he punched Mega Metagross with a straight powerful jab. The punch destroyed the power behind the Zen Headbutt and hit straight on Metagross''s face, he sent Mega Metagross shooting from one end of the room to the other,pletely destroying the wall it hit and continued moving until it got stopped by another wall which broke and fell down on it as well. Mega Metagross lost its mega evolution and returned back to its normal form and got knocked out as well. Omega and Alpha head went nk, they didn''t even stand a chance, their pokemon got destroyed in just one move. Infernape and Snox are very angry as they sensed Julian''s anger, even though they didn''t go all out on those pokemon they still damaged them a lot, they would at least have to be in a pokemon center for a week to get back to full health. Omega "I am out of here" Omega tried to run away but suddenly a blue and orange tentacle stuff grabbed his leg and lifted him up in the air, it is one of the Deoxyses. Alpha didn''t know what to do. Alpha "Brad you idiot do something" Right now he didn''t care about honorific because his whole future is on the line. Brad snapped out of his trance which he had entered after watching Metagross and Machamp getting destroyed so easily. Brad ''No need to worry I still have Rayquaza'' Brad is out of his mind. Brad "Rayquaza attack, attack, attack" He shouted. Rayquaza which was just floating in the air suddenly roared and charged towards Julian. One of the Deoxyses suddenly came in front of it and used ayer of psychic energy to create a barrier and intercepted Rayquaza. Rayquaza crashed into the barrier and shattered it but it also got rebound due to it, it shook its head and roared, itunched a hyper beam towards Deoxys, Deoxys quickly changed into Speed form and escaped from the attack in a blink of an eye. The other Deoxys who is holding Omega put him in a trance and threw him to the side and joined its partner, it put on its defense form and stood in front of Rayquaza and its partner. Rayquaza attacked once again but the Defense Form Deoxys took it head on, while the Speed form Deoxys attacked from behind and sent Rayquaza crashing into the ground. Julian just looked at the two Deoxyses fighting Rayquaza, he is impressed by how the Deoxyses are handling this juvenile Rayquaza, one was already as strong as this juvenile Rayquaza but know they were two they are able to easily corner it, Speed Form changed itself to Attack Form and started to bring down Rayquaza, the attacks were handled by the Attack Form while the Defense Form took the heavy hits and deflected it. Julian ''Looks like the Deoxyses will be able to bring down this Rayquaza, I don''t even have to interfere, now let''s see what Brad is up to'' Julian looked at Brad who has already lost his mind, he is gritting his teeth and looking at his Rayquaza being handled like this. He noticed Julian walking towards him and got scared. Brad "Don''te near me" He stepped back and hit the back of his leg on the rubbles and fell on his back. Brad "If youe any closer I will press this button" Brad then took out a weird looking small box which has a red button on it, seeing this Julian frowned, suddenly Brad pressed the button. Seeing this Julian got dumbfounded. Julian ''Didn''t he say if I take a step forward he will press the button but I didn''t even move'' Suddenly Julian heard a loud roar. He turned and looked it was Rayquaza, he saw the Deoxyses distance themselves from it. He saw the small device on its head started to spark with green light, seeing this Julian knew Brad did something stupid. Suddenly the big machine in the room started to glow brightly. Julian ''Shit''. Chapter 192 - Its Over? Suddenly a huge surge of electricity went through Rayquaza''s body and it roared loudly, its eyes glowed brighter than before suddenly it started to change. Julian frowned seeing this, the thing on Rayquaza''s head is making it forcefully Mega Evolve. ?? Julian could see Rayquaza in pain, Rayquaza suddenlyunched a Hyper Beam recklessly everywhere and it hit the two Deoxyses, they were sent flying and hit the wall. Rayquaza''s body slowly started to change, it grew longer and the spines on the side of its head grew bigger and turned into de-like structure around its head. Its body revealed some ck markings, ribbon-like long strands made of pure energy came out of its de-like spines. But that was it, it didn''t Mega Evolve fully. Julian ''That machine forced Rayquaza to Mega Evolve forcefully, from what I can see it''s still not old enough to Mega evolve on its own, this is causing more damage to its body'' Julian turned around and looked at Brad who isughing madly. Brad "Hahahaha, now I control Mega Rayquaza I will be the most powerful person in the world" Julian "This mother fucker" Julian "Infernape, Snox take care of Rayquaza, don''t hurt it, just keep it under control" Hearing Julian Infernape and Snox nodded and cornered Rayquaza, even though they alone could take care of it, it might run away so they teamed together to corner it into a single spot. The half Mega Evolved Rayquaza roared, but it didn''t seem like a roar filled with anger but a cry for help. Julian is really pissed, he hated people who only cared about their well being without thinking about the consequence their foolish decision would bring. Julian appeared in front of Brad and punched his face, his fist shattered Brad''s nose with all the teeth present in the front. Brad screamed in pain, he didn''t even saw Julian before he got nted in the ground, Julian stared angrily at him, he eyes filled with disgust. Julian then took the box which holds the button. Julian "How do you remove that thing from Rayquaza''s head?" Brad looked at Julian with his blurry vision. Brad "Hahahaha, it cannot be removed, if you try to remove it, within a second a powerful electrical current will flow all over its body and kill it" Julian frowned. Julian "You said within a second?" Brad "Haha, yes, what can you do within a second, you all are doomed, Mega Rayquaza will kill you all, a world that I cannot rule, let it get destroyed instead" Bradughed like a maniac. Julian "I cannot but someone else can, but before that let me take care of that huge machine" Brad "Haha, you can''t do shit, if you destroy the machine, Rayquaza will die as well as the device on its head and the huge machine controlling it is connected, and if you tried to remove the device on its head, not only will you kill it but also trigger a huge explosion that will wipe out the whole city, that machine right there is like bomb, it will blow up everything, sinking the city with all of you" Julian "Shut up you idiot, you really underestimate me huh? I have stood in front of explosions that can destroy regions, do you really think a tiny bomb will scare me away" Julian said and pped Brad, sending more of his teeth flying out of his mouth. Brad fainted as he suffered a concussion after that p. Julian threw him to the side and looked at Rayquaza, he saw Snox and Infernape working together and keeping Rayquaza in check. He saw Rayquaza is struggling to get out of control and he wants to help it, he looks at the two Deoxyses, they seem to be hurt, Julian quickly went towards them and gave them some berries so they could heal. He waited for a while and let them get back their energy, after a while, they are back levitating in the air. Julian [Can you both listen to me] Julian sent out a telepathic message to the two Deoxyses, at first they got startled but soon calmed down. Green Crystal Deoxys [Yes] Julian [Good, I want your help, one of you have to take Snox''s spot and help Infernape to keep it in control, and the other needs to remove the device on its forehead using your speed form, the one doing this has to use your full speed not a nanosecond slow] Hearing Julian the two Deoxyses looked at each other. Soon they came into a decision, the Green Crystal will be using its Speed Form and the Purple Crystal will tackle Rayquaza with its Defense form. Seeing that they havee to a decision Julian sighed. Julian [Then let''s do this. When Snox destroys that huge machine quickly make your move and remove the device and throw it away] Julian turned and looked at Snox. Julian "Snoxe with me, Deoxys will take over" Hearing Julian Snox backed down and the Purple Crystal Deoxys joined the fray and started to help Infernape in taking care of Rayquaza with its defense form, the green crystal Deoxys distant itself and turned into speed form, it needs to burst with full speed under a second and remove the device. Julian "Everyone ready?" Hearing Julian everyone nodded. Julian "Then, Snox, use Hyper Beam" Snox created a small sphere of energy in front of him, he thenunched a low power Hyper Beam towards the huge machine, Julian got ready, green crystal Deoxys got ready. As soon as the Hyper beam touched the outer ss of the device, Julian and Deoxys made their move. Julian quickly set up a long cylindrical shaped barrier that reached high into the sky around the machine with an opening on the top for the pressure to get released. Deoxys, with a burst of its leg, disappeared from its spot creating a sonic boom under a millisecond, breaking through the sound barrier, traveling 5x the speed of sound. It ripped the device right off Rayquaza''s head. If yed in slow motion, the moment the device was removed, thin electric strands could be seen heading towards Rayquaza''s skin but before it could touch it, Deoxys threw it towards a wall, it went and got stuck deep into a hard wall. The device suddenly went crazy and sparked with green electricity and sted. The Hyper Beam that passed through theyer of outer ss caused the green energy inside it to ignite before the self-destruction of that machine took ce, the green energy burst and rose up in the air and burnt, the explosion of the machine then took ce and caused the fire to reach higher into the sky and smoke came out from the top opening of the barrier. Seeing everything went well Julian sighed. Julian ''Thank god'' He turned around and looked at Rayquaza, it has returned to normal but it is currently exhausted an unconscious. Julian "Its Over" "ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" Suddenly a roar that shook the whole Hoenn was heard Julian "Fuck, why does it have to arrive now?" Chapter 193 - Infernape Vs Mega Rayquaza The roar caused the whole Hoenn to shake, all the people living in Hoenn got scared and looked outside to see what''s happening. At first, they didn''t notice what it was but soon it got clear, a giant ck Rayquaza wasing down towards Hoenn with full speed, it is 20 meters long dragon and its eyes disyed rage. ?? Julian who is looking at the sky was surprised. Julian ''The Rayquaza from 3000 years ago was actually a Shiny?'' He snapped out of it and frowned, it was heading straight towards them. Julian ''From the aura it is releasing it is stronger than Groudon and Kyogre but not par up to their Primal form'' Suddenly Rayquaza hovered over LaRousse city and looked at the huge hole near the forest and an unconscious Rayquaza inside, it saw a human with a very powerful aura, an aura that is even more dominant than its, an Infernape whose power is equal to its and a Snox that also had the same level of power as its. It didn''t even put the two Deoxys and the unconscious human in its eyes as they were insignificant ants to it. It thought Julian did that to the juvenile Rayquaza and got angry. It suddenlyunched a Hyper Beam towards Julian. Snox stepped forward andunched his own Hyper Beam to counter it, the two attacks shed and distorted the air and burnt the oxygen present in it. Thankfully the sh was in mid-air and it didn''t cause much damage to the city below. ___________________ Ash and his friends are in awe in seeing such a huge Rayquaza but when it suddenly attacked they got scared and hid behind the walls, suddenly the saw another Hyper Beam shing with Rayquaza''s attack and causing a huge explosion. Brock "We have to get out of here, the power of Rayquaza is too much, we have to escape" Ash "But Julian is still in the city" Brock "Julian is strong enough to take care of himself, we cannot, we have to escape" Lund "Yes, we can escape from an underground route that leads to the sea,e follow me" Soon everyone followed Lund and went underground. _____________________ Julian frowned, he didn''t expect this Rayquaza to appear now and upon that it''s very angry right now, there is no way he can get through it before calming it down. He has to fight. Julian "Snox, Infernape go all out" Julian called out Pidgeot. Julian "Pidgeot take Infernape to the air " Pidgeot nodded, Infernape got on his back and Pidgeot soared up into the air. Seeing two pokemon heading towards it Rayquaza once again sted a powerful Hyper Beam towards them, Infernape countered and sent out a powerful Focus st towards it. The attacks shed again and defused each other but the explosion was no joke, the buildings below the explosion copsed. Julian could do nothing about it, he couldn''t let an angry Rayquaza that is 20 meters long and extremely powerful fly around like crazy. If a city needs to go down then so be it. Seeing its power was not enough Rayquaza got even fierce and roared loudly, suddenly a dense pressure got released, a pulse traveled over the whole city. Julian sensed this and frowned. Julian ''Is it trying to Mega Evolve?'' From what he knows Rayquaza is the only pokemon that can Mega Evolve on its own, it eats meteorites to build up energy in its body for Mega Evolution. Julian''s spection was indeed right, suddenly the wind started to blow like crazy, its sped up causing tornadoes to form in mid-air. This is Mega Rayquaza''s Ability ''Delta Force'', during this all weather conditions will be nullified and attacks of electric, ice, and rock would only deal normal damage to flying type pokemons. Right now it was a heaven for strong flying type pokemons, luckily Pidgeot is with Infernape. The ck Shiny Rayquaza Mega Evolved fully and the power it released for somethingpletely new to Julian. Julian ''Mega Rayquaza''s power is on another levelpared to Primal Groudon and Kyogre, but I have to stop it'' Julian "Infernape let''s do it" Julian closed his eyes and sensed Infernape, Infernape did the same as well, soon they felt their soul and mind connecting to each other, the Omniforce in Julian''s soul started to travel towards Infernape''s soul, the Omniforce around Julian''s body started to flow towards Infernape. His mes flicker one, twice, thrice and suddenly it burst. Infernape roared as his purple mes started to gopletely white, his body started to change, orange fur got reced by white, white fur got reced by ck, a golden armor around his arms and legs turned tinum and changed shape, looking more majestic, tinum armor started to grow and covered his chest, a tinum crown appeared on his forehead. Predominant mes danced around his body and caused the pressure from Mega Rayquaza to disappear. Mega Rayquaza felt danger from this sudden change in Infernape, the mes around him could burn anything if Infernape wants. Mega Rayquaza didn''t back down andunched itself towards Infernape using its Signature move Dragon Ascent. Seeing Mega Rayquaza heading towards him, Infernape jumped off Pidgeot and shot towards Mega Rayquaza, he roared and Predominant mes covered his body. He used re Blitz with Predominant mes. As they shed in midair, Mega Rayquaza couldn''t handle the power of the most dominant mes in the multiverse and went crashing down towards where Julian is standing. It lost its Mega Evolution but it was still conscious, but it is weak right now. Julian sighed and got out of the underground and looked at the weak Shiny Rayquaza. Julian [Calm Down] Hearing Julian''s voice Rayquaza looked at him. Julian [Don''t worry I won''t hurt you, that Juvenile Rayquaza was in trouble so I helped it] Rayquaza didn''t answer and just stared at Julian. "Wait" Suddenly Julian heard a female voiceing from far away, he turned around and saw a dark skin woman on a Smence charging towards him. "How dare you attack out Guardian" She shouted. Chapter 194 - F*ck My Life Julian got startled seeing this brown skin woman suddenly appearing out of nowhere and shouting at him. Zinnia "Smence, use Dragon Pulse" ?? Her Smence suddenlyunched a Dragon Pulse towards Julian but before the attack could even reach Julian it got engulfed by white mes and disappeared. Infernapended before Julian and started at Smence with cold eyes. The Smence suddenly froze on the spot by sensing the danger sending its rider flying off it. Zinnia flew up andnded in front of Julian. Julian is just dumbfounded by this whole situation. Zinnia got back to her feet and started daggers at Julian, she then turned around and looked at his Infernape and got dumbfounded. Zinnia "IT''S YOU" Julian once again got startled by her sudden shouting. Julian "Who?" Zinnia "You are the one who stopped Groudon and Kyogre" Julian was surprised hearing this, only Lance and Juan knew about this now there is one more woman who knows about this. Julian "How did you find out?" Zinnia "This white Infernape, I saw it defeat Groudon and Kyogre, I was there watching the battle" Julian didn''t expect someone was actually present during that catastrophic battle, he looked at her Smence and saw that it is as strong as a champion''s pokemon. Julian "Who are you?" Zinnia "My name is Zinnia, I am thest of the Draconid People" Julian "Draconid?" Zinnia "We the people of the Draconid are responsible for the safekeeping of the Jade Crystal but the people from Shadows stole it from us, we couldn''t fight them back because of their numbers being higher than ours" Julian "Why are you here?" Zinnia "I saw Rayquaza heading here, so I came to ask for its help" Julian "What kind of help?" Zinnia "A huge meteor is heading towards Hoenn again, just like 3000 years ago, Rayquaza needs to destroy it before it falls on our" Julian ''Fuck my life'' Julian is pissed, when he thought he will finally be able to be in peace with his two girlfriends, another catastrophe came knocking at the door. Julian ''I swear to God if somebody is out there controlling my life I will fuck them up'' Julian swore inside his head. __________________ Evil God Zarak (aka author) "Hehehe, little does he know what his future holds" __________________ Julian frowned after thinking about this meteoriteing towards Hoenn. Julian "How did you know about this?" Zinnia "The shaman of our tribe saw it happening in her vision" Julian "Shaman?" Zinnia "Yes, unfortunately, she died after having the vision, she couldn''t withstand the burden" Julian is in dilemma, he cannotpletely ignore what she is saying, maybe it is aplete hoax but it can also be possible, he has seen God so a Shaman existence is still believable for him. Julian "Are you sure?" Zinnia "The Shaman has never seen anything false, everything she has seen hase true. If we don''t stop this meteorite this new Hoenn will disappear before it can even flourish" Julian "Wait a minute" Julian ''If she is telling the truth I have to do something, destroying the meteorite won''t resolve the problem, he has topletely make it disappear, if Rayquaza shatters it, pieces of the meteorite will fall like rain on this world'' Julian then thought of something Julian ''System can Infernape''s me burn the meteorite?'' System ''Anything Infernape want to burn will be burnt, Predominant me is the mes sustained by the Omniforce itself, nothing can stop it'' Julian ''Looks like I have to make Infernape burn the meteorite till itpletely disappears'' Julian looked at the huge Shiny Rayquaza who has finally calmed down and is looking at the juvenile Rayquaza, who seems to be awake finally, it flew towards the big Rayquaza and cried in pain, the Shiny Rayquaza got angry and looked at the fainted Brad with a fierce gaze. Julian jumped down and walked towards the fainted Brad, he lifted Brad up and pped him until he woke up. Brad felt a sharp pain on his cheeks, he looked around and saw his machine is destroyed but everything seems to be normal, he saw the Rayquaza which was under his control is now normal, he saw a huge ck Rayquaza staring fiercely at him and he saw Jason looking at him with cold eyes. Julian "Where is the Jade Crystal?" Brad "How?" Julian pped him again and asked. Julian "Where is the Jade Crystal?" Brad "It no longer exist, I extracted its energy to power up that machine so that I could control Rayquaza with just my will but because of you my dream is ruined, you fucker how dare you to do this, I am Brad the leader of the greatest Syndicate Shadow Legion" Julian "You still don''t get it huh? Well It doesn''t matter to me, your fate is for it to decide" Julian threw him to the ground and moved away leaving the huge Shiny Rayquaza slowly advance towards Brad, seeing the huge Rayquaza advancing towards him Brad got scared and moved back using his hands and legs rapidly but he still couldn''t escape Rayquaza. Rayquaza appeared in front of him and opened its mouth showing its razor-sharp teeth, it roared and bit down on Brad and gulped him down through its throat. Julian got dumbfounded, he didn''t expect Rayquaza to eat Brad. Julian wanted to torture Brad but he decided to let Rayquaza calm its anger using Brad, even though he didn''t expect Rayquaza to eat Brad, well now that it has happened he couldn''t change it. Julian ''Well, it is indeed just like a wild animal, after all, pokemons hunt each other in the wild and feed on each other'' Julian ''He said the Jade Crystal is no more, that meant the energy stored in that ss container in that machine was the energy from the crystal, no wonder it was quite powerful.'' He then turned towards Zinnia. Julian "The Jade Crystal has been destroyed, I guess now you are free from the responsibility, you should go and live the life you want, as for the meteorite leave it too me" Zinnia "But?" Julian "What but? Go away don''t disturb me, you will just be a hindrance for me if you decided to tag along, you now don''t have any responsibility to hold that was passed down to you by the previous generation, go and live a life you want to live" Zinnia looked at Julian for a while and sighed, she nodded and hopped on her Smence and flew away. Zinnia ''Hmm, he said he will take care of the meteorite, but it still concerns me'' Zinnia though as she looked down. Zinnia ''Wait why did that man seem so familiar. NO WAY, he was the champion of Kanto'' Zinnia suddenly realized who Julian was, she had seen his battle with Lance on the TV, she was really impressed by his power and wanted to battle him, but now seeing his real power she gave up on that thought. Zinnia ''Ha, I met the champion and I couldn''t even recognize him, maybe because of all the stress I was going through''. Chapter 195 - Burning The Meteor Back to Julian he sighed, he had to confirm if this meteorite is reallying down towards Hoenn. He decided to call Juan and ask about it. ?? ___________________ Right now in Every Grande city the elite four and few gym leaders are panicking as they just received the news from Mossdeep city center that a huge meteorite is heading towards Hoenn. Drake "Why is Hoenn going through so muchtely, first the appearance of Groudon and Kyogre, then Rayquaza suddenly appeared but it didn''t seem to cause much damage, and now a meteorite ising down on us again" Wace "We have to destroy it" Tate "My father is working on it, we will try tounch a missile on that Meteorite, it may destroy the meteorite but its shards will fall like rain on Hoenn and other regions, but the impact will still be minimum that a full meteorite hitting it" Juan "If that happens the beautiful Hoenn we have right now will get destroyed, but it''s still better than having nothing and everyone dead" Liza "Ok, we will go back to the space station, we have to tall our father about this" Tate and Liza walked away. The others in the room looked tense, they though everything was over. Now a new threat is heading towards them that is likely to destroy everything. Suddenly a phone rang, everyone turned around and looked at Juan, it was his phone. Juan "Excuse me" Juan got up and walked to the corner and took out his phone, to his surprise he saw Julian is calling him. He quickly walked out of the room in a hurry and picked up the call. Juan "Hello?" Julian "Mr. Juan it''s me" Juan "Yes, what is it, Sir Julian?" Julian "Is this meteorite thing true?" Juan "How did you know?" Julian "Well it looks like it is true after all, *sigh* I cannot even take a break" Juan "Sir Julian are you nning something?" Julian "Something like that, you don''t have to worry" Juan "Thank you, Sir. Julian for saving Hoenn once again" Julian "No need to thank me" Juan saw the phone call ended and sighed in relief, he didn''t know how he could repay Julian, not only him but the whole Hoenn, how could Hoenn even repay him for what he has done for it. ____________________ Back to Julian again. Julian "Looks like Zinnia was telling the truth" He looked at his pokemons, Snox already went to sleep, now he will only wake up when only tons of food is involved. Julian sighed, he now has to make a ton of Snox''s favorite food, not only Snox but also his other pokemon as well, all of them worked hard during the battle. He saw Infernape, he is still in his Predominant Form. Julian "Looks like we have one more thing to do buddy" Infernape sighed and nodded. He looked at Rayquaza who was licking of the wounds from the Juvenile Rayquaza, Julian realized that the Juvenile Rayquaza is most likely the huge Rayquaza''s child. Since Rayquaza doesn''t have any gender Julian didn''t know what the shiny Rayquaza is a mother or a father. Julian ''Ok, enough stupid thinking, we need to destroy that meteorite'' Julian then looked at the two Deoxyses, they were very helpful today so Julian thanked them. They also left together and disappeared into the horizon. He finally turned around and stared the shiny Rayquaza in its eyes. Julian [You must have sensed the meteoriteing towards Hoenn] Shiny Rayquaza nodded. Julian [Then for onest time, let''s work together and destroy it] Shiny Rayquaza roared loudly shaking the whole Hoenn once again, it then bent down and let Julian and Infernape hop on its head. The Juvenile Rayquaza flew away as it was already healed a little, it would go back to its domain and rest for a while. The Shiny Rayquaza roared and soared the sky with Infernape and Julian on its head. Julian wants to get over will all this bullshit and finally spend some quality time with his two beautiful girlfriends. He infused Omniforce over his body, Infernape didn''t need it because he is covered with Omniforce right now. As Shiny Rayquaza flew higher and higher passing the troposphere and reaching the stratosphere, Julian felt the oxygen level decreasing significantly and he could already see all the regions he knew about, like Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos. He also saw regions he had never seen before. He sawrge continents that he doesn''t even have the slightest hints about. He saw how huge this finally is, it is 10x bigger than earth in his previous life. Soon they left the Stratosphere and entered the Mesosphere. Julian finally saw the huge Meteorite that is heading towards them, Julian realized that this meteorite isrger than he thought, it was still far away but it still looked gigantic. Shiny Rayquaza roared and increased its speed, Julian and Infernape got a hold of themselves, the vacuum of the space had no effect on them because of the Omniforce guarding them. Soon they left the Mesosphere, on his way he sawrge satellites floating around. They entered the Thermosphere, now ultraviolet rays of the sun were the most extreme but it didn''t affect them. Shiny Rayquaza kept moving faster and faster and finally they reached the Exosphere, where all the asteroids revolving around the could be seen, they were still and floating on the exact stop. Julian looked forward, he saw the massive meteorite is getting closer and closer, in just a few minutes they will be in attacking distance. Rayquaza past through the asteroids and got out of the Exosphere. Now they were finally out of the gravitational pull of the. Julian [Infernape get ready] As this was space talking didn''t work because of the absence of air, he relied on his thought directly to Infernape. And there it was, the massive asteroid. It is 100 meters in diameter. Julian [Infernape max power, st Burn] Rayquaza stopped. Infernape roared but his roar couldn''t be heard but his fire burned. Predominant mes burned and danced covering over 100 meters of space. Julian protected Rayquaza with Omniforce from Infernape''s me, this time Infernape wasn''t holding back even the slightest, he didn''t care about his surroundings. The mes started to growrger andrger and covering over 150 meters, blinding everything with white light. The mes burned everything, even the barrier of space and time, some Unknows were sent startled and they started to go crazy around the ce. Julian noticed this, he realized that they have gone a little overboard. Julian [Infernape now] Infernape sent the huge burning white predominant me towards the iing meteorite, the me engulfed the meteorite and started to burn the meteorite, the meteorite soon turned into nothing. Nobody would believe if someone told them there was a huge 100-meter meteorite there a second ago. Julian [It''s over]. Chapter 196 - Archer Julian [It''s over] Infernape nodded. ?? Julian [hahaha, I didn''t expect your mes would cause this much damage] Infernape nodded. Julian [Let''s head back, Rayquaza] Rayquaza turned around and headed back towards LaRousse city. _______________________ In apletely different dimensions, a being opens its eyes. And looked at the direction that space and time got burned. Dialga [Something destroyed the barrier space and time, is it Giratina? No, this aura is not of Giratina''s, Palkia didn''t do it either, who could it be?] In another dimension, another being opened its eyes and looked at the direction of the burnt barrier. Palkia [Something powerful did this, but it doesn''t seem to have any bad intent, Dialga won''t do this and Giratina hasn''t interfered for 10 Eons, is the lord involved?] Further, then the dimension of space and time, a being opened its eyes as well. Arceus [Some one actually used it?] It tried to look through thews of omniforce but got blocked. Arceus [It is being protected by the force itself, Hope it doesn''t have any bad intention] This being pondered and closed its eyes again. Arceus [If the Force is involved I cannot do anything] It went back to its slumber. The barrier that was burnt returned back to normal as if nothing happened at all. ______________________ Julian who finally reached LaRousse city again has no idea that his "Little" stunt attracted the attention both the ruler of space and time and the all mighty creator of this universe. Rayquaza left after leaving Julian and Infernape behind. Infernape returned back to normal, he was a little fatigue after using so much power. Julian "You should take some rest" Julian sent Infernape back to his Pokeball and sighed. Julian "FINALLY" Julian shouted in relief, everything was over, he could finally rest. He looked around the abandoned city, he saw that it was not destroyedpletely, in fact, only a fraction of the city got destroyed, the rest of them are fine, it just needs some workers to fix it. Julian "I should call Daisy and find out where they are" He took out his phone and called them. Daisy picked up her phone. Daisy "Julian are you fine?" Julian "Yes I am, how are you and Chloe doing?" Daisy "We are doing fine, we came to Ever Grande city" Julian "What?" Daisy "Hehe, sorry to leave you behind, Chloe brought me here because its the safest ce to be, it was her words" Julian "Fine I will meet you two at Ever Grande city" He put an end to the call and decided to leave the city. ___________________ Back in Ever Grande city, the elite four, Wace and others were deciding how to reduce the casualties that might happen. Suddenly Tate and Liza rushed into the meeting room, they breathed rapidly and tried to catch some breath. Wace and others were surprised seeing them suddenly rush in. Wace "What happened?" Tate "Good news" Wace "Good news?" Liza "Look at this" Liza said and passed a tablet towards Wace. Liza "This footage was captured by one of the satellites of our region" Wace transferred the footage into a bigger screen and yed it, it was very blurry footage but they could make out something with it. They saw the ck Rayquaza and someone on its head, they could see that this person is wearing nothing on his face, they only noticed that he has ck hair though, next they noticed the white ming pokemon next to him, they couldn''t recognize what pokemon this was. As the video continued they saw a while sh and after the white sh disappeared the meteorite was nowhere to be found. Wace "What? How did such a massive thing disappear in thin air" Tate "Don''t know. But after that, all the cameras in the satellite got burnt just from the heat radiating from that white light, luckily the camera was able to capture the scene before the heat could reach it, not only ours but all the satellite present in the vicinity got melted after getting exposed to the heat wave" Wace "Will this affect themunication between the regions" Liza "No, those satellites are monitoring satellites, themunication satellites are safe as they are closer to the atmosphere" Wace "I see, it''s good then, whoever this is we should be thankful to him for saving Hoenn and the other neighbor regions" Drake "Who could it be?" Juan "I think it is the man in the mask" Drake "You could be right, he has pokemons never seen before and they are strong, Hoenn is lucky that we had him during this trouble periods" Sidney "You are right, now we can finally be at peace" _____________________ Back at LaRousse city. Beta finally could feel her body again, she somehow reached towards the knife on her hips and cut open the seat belt. Beta "From all themotion from before I think Brad has been taken down, I should escape from here" Beta quickly made her escape from the mini-jet and ran into the jungle, she didn''t trust that piece of metal or any equipment belonging to Shadow now, as she was about to get into the city and escape she saw officers and agents of the league patrolling the area, she noticed Alpha, Omega, and Gama has been captured and are unconscious. Beta ''Fuck these League people, they don''t waste a single second'' Beta ''I have to make an escape'' "Miss do you want to escape?" Beta suddenly heard a voice and turned around to find a man with light blue hair and sharp eyebrows, he is wearing a white long sleeve uniform with a team rocket logo on it. Beta "Who are you?" Archer "I am Archer, I work directly under the Great Giovanni of the Team Rocket, we could really use people like you in our team" Beta "Team Rocket? What do you want?" Archer "Nothing my Boss wants to meet with you" Beta "Since I don''t have any other option, I wille with you" Archer "Great, can I have your name" Beta "Ang, code name Beta" Archer "I see, so you are the infamous Beta huh? Well let''s get going" Archer said and hit a button suddenly a forcefield hiding a small jet in in sight disappeared. Ang nodded and walked into the jet, she was still careful and held tight to her Pokeball. Archer followed behind and soon they escaped from LaRousse city. Chapter 197 - Almost Caught All around Hoenn celebration is taking ce, for escaping from the disaster and for a very new beginning. New cities are being built at a rapid pace, people are working together and helping each other, huge funds are being sent to Hoenn from other regions. ?? It is a political move by other regions but still, Hoenn took it. Since Hoenn is going to be a powerful region after what has happened. New materials are being found, new pokemon species that were never seen in Hoenn were spotted, the origin of Mega Stones and many more, Hoenn has be a powerhouse. Even though they have be more powerful economically they are not fools to stand alone, they need to maintain a good rtionship with their neighbors to maintain that. It a give an take world no matter where a person is, it is the rule of nature itself. The news about the meteorite and its disappearance reached the masses causing even a bigger reaction, this mysterious trainer became the hero of Hoenn. Many theories came out of this, people would never forget their savior, who saved them from not one but multiple threats, the appearance of the legendary pokemons also made the nonbelievers of them believe that these monsters exist. Soon many theories and rumors started to surface from the masses, some said this legendary trainer is not from their world because he had pokemons that are never seen before, some said it is a pokemon master who came back to live with the masses, some even spected that it was Julian the previous champion of Kanto who is also the strongest champion, but no one had any evidence to back it up. The person behind all this is right now sleeping on a bed with two beautiful women by his side. He opens his eyes and looked around to see Chloe and Daisy by his side, he smiles and gets up. Julian "Peace and quite just the way I like" Julian said and walked into the kitchen to make some morning coffee for all of them, after finishing it he took a bath and gave the coffee to Chloe and Daisy who woke up just a few minutes ago. Chloe "So what are we going to do?" Julian "Don''t know, the league has been postponed for two months, I guess we will be touring around Hoenn and check out what is going on" Daisy "Yes, I wanted to look around Lavaridge town to teport city, I heard the newnd there is beautiful, tall mountains and hills are now present there and new pokemon species, I want to see them all" Julian "Sure, since I have nothing to do, we should tour around Hoenn" Daisy "Great, I actually want to go to Rustboro city first" Chloe "Why?" Daisy then took out two stones from her bag, he bag was also like Julian but not with infinity space in it, it used the same technology as Pokeball, anything inside would be lightweight and can store up to 50 sq feet of free space. They were the fossils which Julian gave her when he found them back in the deserted area. Chloe "Are they fossils?" Daisy "Yes, Julian found them, I heard that in Rustboro city they can bring back the fossils back to life by cloning their DNA, I wanted to do it for quite a long time but I wasn''t able to" Chloe "Wow, can I have one of them?" Daisy "Sure I don''t mind at all" Chloe picked one of the fossils, she took the w fossil and Daisy stuck with the root fossil. Since the girls got busy talking with each other Julian walked up to the TV and switched it on to see what is going on. As he switched it on, the first thing to appear is a news channel, Julian hated news channel but it was the only way to get proper information, the news on the inte was full of shit and weird people being interviewed who had no idea what they are talking about. He saw a woman in a suit standing in front of a screen which yed the footage of Rayquaza and him heading towards the meteorite. Julian''s eye went wide when he saw this, he was offline for a few days and he hasn''t watched TV as well, he arrived at Ever Grande city yesterday night while flying on Pidgeot''s back. Julian ''What the fuck? did the satellites capture that footage, luckily it''s very blurry'' Daisy and Chloe also joined him to look at the TV. Anchor "As you can see, this person is riding on a Rayquaza and went past the monitoring satellites to destroy the meteorite which was supposed to hit Hoenn, the pokemon with white me beside it cannot be identified at all because of the brightness of the mes, this pokemon seems to be the attacker as well because a white blinding light could be seen and then the meteorite disappeared, then the satellites around that area got melted. The space station was able to save the footage before it got destroyed. Many people believe that this man that could be seen on Rayquaza is the same person that stopped Groudon and Kyogre, both Groudon and Kyogre suddenly disappeared with no trace left behind. People have started to theorize that this person is not from our world itself as it is clearly seen that he was still intact even being in cold space with no space suit on. Some people say he is a Pokemon master that hase back to live in civilization. Some say that he is the previous champion of Kanto, as he is the strongest champion to ever exist" Hearing this Julian spit out his coffee in surprise. Chloe and Daisy looked at Julian. Julian "What''s with that absurd theory?" Chloe "Wait a minute? This does make sense whenever this person appears you are nowhere to be found, where were you when all this was happening?" Daisy "Yes, I also had this same thought and this person does look like you from the back" Julian started to sweat. Julian "I was helping innocent people evacuate from the city" Chloe "How do you believe you are not lying to us?" Julian "Let''s forget about that, how do you exin that person being intact in outer space, I am a human there is no way I can be in space with no spacesuit" Daisy "You do have a point, but?" Julian "Well whoever it is, he doesn''t want people to know who he is, that is why he is covering his face, leave the man live his life, jeezzzzz" Chloe frowned. Chloe ''He is definitely hiding something'' Chloe moved forward and kissed him and sat on hisp. Chloe "Won''t you tell your girlfriend about it?" She said in a seductive tone, Daisy also figured out what Chloe is trying to do and also joined the fray but grabbing on to his arm and pressing her breast on it. Daisy "Julian tell us what are you hiding?" Daisy said with an innocent voice, for a second Julian''s mind went nk but he soon realized. Julian ''These women are dangerous'' Julian suddenly grabbed them and pulled them closer. Julian "You both are being naughty, you both need punishments" Julian carried them and threw them on the bed. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A/N - now it is up to you, readers to use your mind and hand, how is it going to y out is all up to you, hehehehe?? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Chapter 198 - Chloe Vs Diantha? The day went away with nothing happening, Julian just spent quality time with Chloe and Daisy and bonded closer with them. Next day Julian, Chloe, and Daisy got ready, they decided to leave to Rustboro city. ?? They boarded a ship which will go to Lilycove city, Chloe said she doesn''t like to travel much in a ship so Julian decided to go towards the city that is closest to Ever Grande city and is on the maind. Lilycove city was the only option he could find, after boarding the ship, it was a long journey, he didn''t have much to do at all so he trained his pokemons for the league that will happen in 2 months. Days in the ship was really tiring, finally, they reached Lilycove city, Chloe quickly got out of the ship and breathed in the fresh air and sighed in relief, Daisy smiled seeing this Julian brought out the car and all of them sat in and drove off towards a hotel. After getting a hotel to stay in for a day and rest, Chloe wanted to look around the city with them, they were not given any chance to refuse so she dragged them with her. On their way, they saw an interesting board outside the contest hall. [Open challenge from the Champion of Kalos] Julian "She is still here?" Daisy "Yes, she was back in Sootopolis city taking care of the people when the disaster urred" Julian "I see, so what is this about the open challenge? Is she taking on normal trainers?" Chloe "I think so" Julian "Why don''t you try it?" Chloe "Me?" Julian "Yes, your Smence is strong, who knows you might even win" Chloe "No way, I am still not as strong as a champion" Julian "Haha, don''t lie to me, I can tell if a pokemon is strong or not, I don''t know how you were only a grunt in the Shadow Legion" Chloe "Are you making fun of me?" Julian "Of course......Not" Chloe "You, you are not allowed to touch me for a week" Julian "Ok, I have Daisy" Julian said and grabbed Daisy and pulled her closer, Daisy blushed andughed a little seeing how Julian is messing with Chloe. Chloe "Fine, don''t talk to me ever again" Chloe stomped her leg and turned around and tried to walk away, Julian grabbed her and pulled her back and kissed her. Julian "I am just kidding, you know right" Chloe "Good" Chloe smiled. Julian "So will you take on Diantha?" Chloe "But, I have a type disadvantage and she also has a mega stone" Julian "Don''t worry about it" Julian said and pulled out a Key Stone and a Mega Stone from his pouch. Julian "I took some from the Shadows, they had a bunch of them" Chloe "Can I really have it?" Julian sure. Chloe became happy and took the Mega Stone and Keystone from Julian''s hand and carefully looked at it. The Keystone was the same as Julian''s but the Mega Stone is a clear crystal marble with red blue and white pattern in it. Julian turned and looked at Daisy. Julian "You know you should have a pokemon as well, for your safety when I am not around" Daisy "Hmm I will think about it, well we are going to Rustboro city to revive the fossils so it should be fine" He then once again looked at Chloe. Julian "Let''s go buy something to ce the keystone and Mega Stone in it, the challenge seems to end the day after tomorrow so we still have time" Chloe "Ok" Julian took both of them to a jewelry shop and looked around to find some good looking but sturdy ne for Chloe, he found one and also bought a chest armament for her Smence, due to introducing of Mega Stones, jewelers also started to make pokemon armaments for the mega stone to be kept. Julian bought one ne each for both Daisy and Chloe. Since he has a lot of money he didn''t care about how much they cost and bought them some dresses as well. He didn''t even realize that a normal search for a Keystone ne turned into an expensive shopping trip with his two expensive girlfriends. They bought one thing after the other, luckily he is his priceless dimension pouch where he can stuff all the bags of dresses and shoes those two buy and don''t look like aplete idiot in front of strangers. After a day of shopping, next day Chloe decided to try and challenge Diantha for a battle, she also wanted to find out how much she has grown. When she was little she found Bagon trapped in a trash can, its head was stuck in the disposal opening, she helped him get out of it then cleaned it and fed it, soon the Bagon started to follow her everywhere she went, even to her orphanage, so she decided to keep him. Now he has be a powerful Smence, she never tried to advance her ranking in the Shadows because she was always thinking of leaving it but when she met Julian she was able to take that step. Now she is standing in front of him with a smile on her face and him right beside her. Chloe ''I got this'' She took a deep breath and entered the building to register herself for the battle. Even though it was an open challenge not many tried to participate in it because they don''t want to embrace them self in front of a huge crowd by getting one shot by a champion, the ones who tried to challenge Diantha are all powerful trainers themselves. Chloe joined the line, Julian and Daisy were outside the line, Daisy bought some popcorn and drinks to watch the match. Chloe looked in front of her and saw two men registering themselves to battle the champion Diantha, people around the area looked at them and Chloe in astonishment and anticipation, because everyone who challenged Diantha until now has put on a decent battle, every time a person walks towards the counter to register, they will grab the attention of the people around here. Chapter 199 - Chloe Vs Diantha (1) The two trainers who are before Chloe turned around and looked at Daisy and their eyes went wide, they see this beautiful woman right behind them, how could they not hit on her. Trainer 1 "Heydy, are you also trying to participate?" ?? Chloe "Yes" Trainer 1 "How about you join me for a drink after I defeat the champion of Kalos, I will show you how strong my pokemons are and maybe we cat hit it afterward" Chloe looked at this trainer as if he is an idiot and just ignored him, the other trainer who was also standing on the lineughed seeing this. Trainer 2 "Gerad, you don''t even know how to court a beautiful woman, let me show you" Gerad "Shut up Kevin, let me see how you do it" Kevin approached Chloe with a big smile. Kevin "Hey beautiful, how about we go for a coffee together, you know we can talk and hang out, get to know each other" Chloe "Idiots" Chloe ignored them and went past them to register herself for the battle. Gerad "Hahahahaha, such big words but no result" Kevin "Why you? Hey, bitche her-" Kevin dashed towards Chloe and tried to put his hand on her shoulder but before he could he felt his hand grabbed by someone. Kevin turned and looked, it is Julian. Julian is coldly staring at him. Kevin "What are you doing let go of my hand" Kevin said and tried to get out of Julian''s hold but he couldn''t even move his hand, it was like getting his hand trapped in a vice grip. Kevin "Let go" He tried to struggle but Julian''s grip got harder, he let out a groan filled with pain. Julian "What did you call her?" Julian asked with a cold tone. Kevin "What do you care, What if I called her a bi-" Suddenly Kevin went on his knees and crack of his wrist could be heard. Julian "Say that again?" Kevin got scared, he didn''t know how he got to his knees, it was all nk but his wrist is in pain and he wants to scream. He looked around and saw everyone was looking at him with a frown. Chloe "Julian let him go, he is just trash" Julian nodded and threw him to the side. Julian "Get lost" Julian threw him to the side and let Chloe register herself, he wanted to break his hand but Daisy and Chloe are present, and there are also people around here so he didn''t go too far. He then looked at the other trainer Gerad. Julian "Do you have anything to say?" Gerad didn''t say anything, as they were both strong trainers no one ever went against them but today it was different, this young man in front of them looked scary. Gerad carried Kevin and walked away. Kevin "I will destroy that fucker" Gerad "Don''t worry, there are too many people out here. When hees out we will take care of him" They both talked to each other softly and walked away. Julian, of course, heard it clearly but he didn''t care what they did, he also wanted to meet them outside and beat them up for even putting their eyes on his girlfriend. After Chloe finished the registration she was informed she will have her battle within an hour, she has to wait in the waiting area. Julian and Daisy could wait in the audience area and wait for the battle to being. They were informed that Diantha just finished a battle and is resting, Chloe will be able to battle her in an hour. Julian "You should go to the waiting room and calm your mind and think about a strategy, I and Daisy will be cheering for you" Daisy "Chloe all the best" Chloe nodded and went towards the waiting area. Julian "Daisy lets go and find a seat in the audience area" Daisy "Ok, let''s go" Julian and Daisy walked towards the audience area, they looked around to see some people leaving and some entering the arena to watch the uing battle. Julian wanted Chloe to fight Diantha because he wanted to see how good the champion of Kalos is and also how good Chloe is as well, he knew her Smence is strong and could easily rule over a huge forest area on its own. Julian wanted to find out the coordination between Chloe and Smence in a battle and how well do they fare up against a champion who has a clear advantage against her. If she is able to pull off for at least five minutes of battle Julian doesn''t have to worry about Chloe being in trouble. As for Daisy, he has other ns but it is far in the future, he still has a lot of time he could spend with them. After waiting for an hour finally the battle started. To Julian''s surprise, these battles are actually being broadcasted in Hoenn''s and Kalos''sworks. Julian ''Well that is to be expected, she is a star, every second she spends outside, she has to constantly be in front of the camera, I don''t know how she can even manage all this'' Julian though. Soon the announcer started to talk and announced the name of the challenger. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for waiting, our third match of the day, our third challenger who wants to battle the Champion. If the trainer is able to impress Champion Diantha through her battling skills she will be able to win 50000 Pokedors as prize money. Julian "What? There was actually prize money?" Daisy "Wait? You didn''t know about it, it was clearly written on the board outside" Julian "Hmm?" Julian concentrated and went back through his memories to and he noticed it. Julian "Ah, yes I totally didn''t see that" Daisy "How didn''t you see it, it was clearly written in big red fonts right next to her picture" Julian "Hahaha" Daisy "Then, were you looking at her boobs?" Daisy said with her eyes staring daggers at Julian. Julian ''Well that picture of her on the banner was really revealing her breast but'' He then looked at Daisy who would kill him with just her stare. Julian "Look Chloe is out" Julian said and looked at the battlefield. Daisy "Hmph, we will talk about thister" Chapter 211 - Stevens Challenge The manager took Julian, Daisy, and Chloe around the facility and showed them how the most desired equipment by the public are made. While doing so the manager received a call, it was actually from the president of the corporation himself, Mr. Stone. ?? Francesco "Mr. Julian, our president want''s to meet you, do you mind?" Julian "Sure, I would like to meet him" Chloe "Julian, you go alone, I don''t want to sit down while you both talk some boring business stuff, Daisy and I will look around" Julian "Ok, I will call you once I am done" Daisy "Ok,e let''s go, Chloe" Daisy and Chloe got busy looking around, Julian knew they would do some shopping as it''s their hobby. Francesco just stood there and waited for Julian to talk to him. Julian "Let''s go" Francesco "Then, please follow me" The manager then brought Julian into an elevator and his the second highest button, the elevator soon started to go up. After a few seconds, they arrived at their desired floor. Francesco "The president is inside, please go in" The manager said and told Julian to go in, it looks like the manager is not allowed to go in. Julian nodded and walked in, as he did he saw an old man with white spiky hair wearing a purple striped suit standing there with a bouquet in his hand. Mr. Stone "Wee Mr. Julian, I am really happy to see you visit out corporation" Julian "Don''t bother about it Mr. Stone I just had some work here that''s all" Mr. Stone gave the bouquet to him and he took it. Mr. Stone "Please have a seat" He signaled Julian to take a seat and he did as well. Julian "So Mr. Stone what did you call me?" Mr. Stone "I see, Mr. Julian is a straight forward man, so I won''t go around the bushes, actually I want to sponsor you for theing league" Julian "Oh? You know my ownpany can also do that right, it will be more profitable for me to do that as well" Mr. Stone "I understand what you are saying, and as a businessman, I know if I want some I have to give some. If you are willing to sponsored by us during this league, we will make a partnership with JC corporation." Julian thought about this, signing a partnership with Devon will be very profitable but he needs more details before making a decision. Mr. Stone "I know that JC corporation has grown big and is not trying to enter the technology market, being partners with us will be very useful to both of us" Julian "Hmm, the deal sounds reasonable, let me talk to the members of the board of mypany then we can talk about the deal" Mr. Stone "I will wait" Julian "Ok give me a second" Julian got up and walked to the side and made a call to Professor Oak and Jimi and put them both in a conference call. Oak "Julian what is it?" Jimi "Yes, what is it?" Julian "It''s about the Devon corporation" Jimi "Devon? What does that old man want?" Julian "He wants to sponsor me for theing Hoenn league" Jimi "And?" Julian "And if I do that, they will sign a partnership with us to infiltrate the technology market" Jimi "That old man is indeed sneaky, with your fame he will benefit a lot, but the technology market is growing at an exceptional rate, we should enter it before thepetition bes too tough, I think we should sign this deal" Julian "What do you say, Professor Oak?" Oak "I think we should do it, infiltrating the technology market will help us greatly" Julian "Ok, I will look into it, I will tell Mr. Devon to contact you after this" Julian cut the phone and walked back and sat on the chair. Julian "Ok, I ept your offer, Jimi will contact you and talk further into it" Mr. Stone "Great, here these are the documents, you just need to sign it" He gave a sponsorship contract to him, Julian took and read through it, after reading it properly and not finding anything unusual, he signed it. The contract stated that all his matches will be under their supervision and will be streamed in their TV channel, except the finals because the league won''t allow it, his exhibition matches would also be broadcasted by Devon corporation. From Julian''s knowledge, Devon had many TV stations, so he didn''t bother with it, he signed the contract and gave it back to him. Mr. Stone "Thank you for your time, Mr. Julian, I hope your stay in Hoenn will be good" Julian "I hope so as well" Mr. Stone "Hahaha, Mr. Julian you are funny" Heughed. "Dad" Suddenly a voice came, a young man walked in through the door and looked, he was surprised to see another man inside with his father. Julian turned around and saw, it is Steven Stone. Mr. Stone "Mr. Julian, this is my son Steven he also wants to be a champion one day but he stillcks something, he was defeated by Elite four Drake previous year" Steven "Dad, stop it. I hope I didn''t disturb Mr. Julian" Steven said. He didn''t expect Julian to be here, he now had this chance and he didn''t want to miss it. Steven "Mr. Julian can I ask for a favor?" Julian "What is it?" Steven "Can I have a battle with you?" Julian "A battle, sure" Mr. Stone "Are you sure about this Steven?" Steven "Yes" Steven nodded, he really felt devastated when he had battled Drake from elite four, he had already defeated the rest of them, he only had to defeat Drake before challenging Wace, but when he faced Drake everything seemed to be going fine when Drake suddenly went hard and destroyed his whole team, he only got one answer from him and that was ''He is not ready to be a champion''. He didn''t know why Drake did go serious against him at thest moment but he was still scared by that incident, now he wants to battle Julian to see how much he has grown. Chapter 212 - Julian Vs Steven Julian got up and stood in front of Steven. Julian "Where do you want to battle?" ?? Steven "We have a battlefield here, we can go there" Julian "I hope there is protection around the ce" Mr. Stone "Don''t worry Mr. Julian, the protection around the battlefield is as strong as the once seen in the league''s battlefield" Julian "That''s good" Julian said and walked behind Steven as he directed Julian towards the Battlefield. When Julian arrived in front of the battlefield, he got impressed by how good the condition the battlefield is maintained. As the people around the battlefield saw Julian and Steven taking on each other they got shocked and quickly started to message their friends and family about this battle. This thing became like wildfire and everyone in the Devon corporation gathered up around the battlefield, some people started to videotape and tried to record the battle. Julian "Let''s get started, how many pokemons do you want to use?" Steven "One will be enough" Julian "Ok then, I choose Tyranitar" Julian sent out his Tyranitar. As Tyranitar came out he roared causing everyone to shiver a little, he had a metal band around his neck and it had his Mega Stone ced on it. Seeing Julian''s Tyranitar people around the battlefield took a deep breath, his Tyranitar is very intimidating and with that Mega Stone around his neck, they were all startled. Steven ''Indeed his pokemons are powerful, even though he started new, he is still a champion and he can rise any pokemon to its full potential, I have to put a lot of effort in this battle'' Steven thought and took out a Pokeball and looked at it. Steven "It may be our hardest battle ever, partner. I choose you" Steven sent out his pokemon, it is a Shiny Metagross, its body reflected the sunlight of it and the golden cross on its face looked intimidating, it also had a metal band around one of its inner arms which hold a Mega Stone as well. This battle seems to be very interesting, while Tyranitar is weak to Metagross''s Steel typing but Tyranitar''s Dark-type ispletely immune to its psychic attacks. Metagross is resistant to Tyranitar''s rock type and weak against his dark type. A battle between two powerful Pseudo-legendaries is going to be devastating. Steven "Metagross let''s go, Meteor Mash" Julian ''He is starting off hard, let''s see then how he will handle this'' Julian "Tyranitar use Counter" As Tyranitar heard Julian he moved to the side and dodged Metagross''s Meteor Mash, while it was still moving forward, Tyranitar brought down his hand on top of Metagross and nted it on the ground. Just this one attack shattered the battlefield causing web-like cracks forming on it. "Oh my Arceus, did you see that, just one hit" The spectators took a deep breath, even though this is not the strongest move they had seen in their life, being performed by a champion''s pokemon made it more extravagant. People were like that, they would idolize anything that belonged to a great person. This didn''t mean that Tyranitar was no strong but the people already started to see him as an invincible force. Steven''s Metagross got up and returned back to Steven''s side. Steven "Are you ok?" Metagross nodded and shook off the pain it received. Steven realized that charging carelessly would cause an instant defeat, even though he didn''t go all out on this first attack, neither did Julian. If Julian wanted that chance he got, he could have easily dealt a very powerful dark move and could have defeated Metagross. Steven "Metagross, use sh Cannon" Metagross then positioned its two arms in front of its face and started to collect steel energy in between its arms. Julian "Counter with Dark Pulse" Metagross shot a powerful sh Cannon towards Tyranitar and Tyranitar countered with Dark Pulse, both attacks collided in mid-air and caused a huge explosion, the protection of the area rose up quickly and stopped the st from reaching the audience. The air got distorted and it came back to how it was, smoke filled the battlefield and blinded everyone''s vision. Julian "Tyranitar bring in the Sand Storm" As Tyranitar heard Julian, he activated his ability Sand Stream, which caused the surroundings to change, suddenly sands started to blow around the area covering the groundpletely, the smoke disappeared but it was meaningless because the Sand Storm affected Metagross''s vision, since Metagross''s body is pure steel it won''t be affected by the harsh blowing sand but its vision is still affected. Steven "Metagross, close your eyes and feel the changes in your surroundings" Since Psychic powers cannot detect the dark type pokemons, Metagross has to focus on the changes that happen in the surroundings but it is very difficult because of the Sand Storm. Julian "Dark Pulse" Tyranitar suddenly attacked with a powerful Dark Pulse, Metagross has no idea where the attack ising from as its eyes are closed and it cannot detect the dark energy. The Dark Pulse hits and sends Metagross crashing on the ground. Steven "What do I do?" Steven was in a pinch, he didn''t expect that he would be trapped in such a harsh situation, even Drake didn''t put him in such a bad ce, while Julian just did it with one move, Tyranitar''s ability and his typing was really working well here, Metagross cannot utilize its steel typing to attack Tyranitar if it cannot see and it can''t even dodge his Dark-type attacks. Julian just looked at Steven and shook his head, he realized why Drake said he was not ready to be a champion. Julian ''He thinks too much, even Ash would have put on a decent battle against me right now'' Unlike Steven who is thinking too much Ash doesn''t think at all which makes him very unpredictable and a decent opponent, whereas Steven, Julian could easily read him and put him in a difficult position very easily. Seeing that Steven isn''t able to think of anything to get out of this situation, Julian decided to end it here so he won''t embarrass himself too much. Julian "Tyranitar, finish it, use Crunch" Tyranitar roared and suddenly a massive jaw made of dark energy appeared around Metagross. Steven "Metagross move" Before it could even decide which direction to move the huge jaw came down and mmed shut on top of Metagross repeatedly. Metagross couldn''t handle it and fainted. The Sand Storm settled down revealing the fainted Metagross. "Did you just see that Steven Stone was taken down so easily, as expected of the strongest champion, even his new pokemons are monsters" The people around the battlefield took a deep breath in astonishment, people who were taking videos of the battle quickly posted them on their social media. Steven just stood there, he didn''t know what was wrong with his battling, his Metagross is as powerful as an Elite four''s pokemon but it still got handled down so easily by Julian''s Tyranitar. Julian "It''s not always about who''s pokemon is stronger, well its a known fact that a stronger pokemon would win against a weaker one but when ites to battling it''spletely different, you just need to stop thinking too much about the situation and focus on your pokemon and everything will be fine" Steven "What do you mean?" Julian "Just focus on your pokemon''s strong side, not the opponent''s weakness, let you pokemon focus on its opponent, your job is to guide it properly in a battle, you, on the other hand, is only thinking how you can defeat me and my pokemon''s weakness" Julian said and called back Tyranitar. Julian "Rest of it, you have to figure it out yourself". Julian said and turned around and walked towards the exit where he saw Daisy and Chloe waiting for him. Steven just stood there thinking what Julian said. Steven "Don''t think too much?" Steven doesn''t know that this experience will one day put him amongst one of the most powerful champions in history. Chapter 213 - Before The League Chloe "Its the first time I have seen you battle" Daisy "Me too" ?? Both of them were very excited about seeing Julian''s battle, they knew that their boyfriend is the strongest champion but they could never see him battle. Julian "You know that my battles are dangerous, I don''t want both of you near them, it''s good that Devon corporation as a powerful barrier stopping" Chloe "We understand" Daisy "I didn''t expect little Pupitar to have grown to such a big a powerful Tyranitar, I still remember how he used to hang on to your leg and not let go" Julian "Yes, he has grown powerful" Julian said and looked around, he saw people were taking his pictures with Chloe and Daisy in their phones. Julian "Come, let''s go and check out the fossils" Daisy "Yes, Let''s go" Julian, Daisy, and Chloe walked away. Mr. Stone walked towards his son and patted his shoulder. Mr. Stone "One day, you will battle him again but you still have a long way to go, Son" Steven "I understand dad, by the way why was he in your office" Mr. Stone "Oh that, we are going to sponsor him in theing league" Steven "Oh, great move Dad" Mr. Stone "Hahaha, of course, I have been in this business industry for quite a long time to know what to do and when" ______________________ Julian, Daisy, and Chloe came back to theb where their fossils are being revived, when they reached there they something glowing, it was not just one but two. The reviving machines were glowing from the inside, to be exact it was the fossils that are glowing. Julian "Looks like we are here at the right moment" Julian said and walked towards the Fossils, Daisy and Chloe followed him and stood in front of their respective fossil. Chloe in front of the w Fossil and Daisy in front of the Root Fossil. The scientists are busy taking down the data of this process and concentrated on their work. Soon the Fossils inside the devices started to change shape. Julian "Look they are being revived" Julian said. The fossils glow bright and covered the whole room soon revealing two small pokemon, one on each device. Anorith and Lileep, these two are pokemons that went extinct millions of years ago and now they are in front of them. Daisy "Wow, it looks so different from the pokemons found in today''s day and age" Daisy said and picked up Lileep, it has a purple body with circr patterns on the side of its head, pink petals areing out from the top and there seem to be two eyes between the pink petals. Anorith, on the other hand, has two sharp ws below its head, two big eyes on the sides and sharp spikes at the side of its body. Chloe "They don''t look cute but still have a very unique appearance to them" Julian "Indeed, I hope both of you will take good care of them" Chloe/Daisy "We will" Anorith and Lileep started to bond with Chloe and Daisy. Since they were the first person they saw when they came back to life, they felt that they are their mothers. Chloe and Daisy let them bond with their other pokemons so that they will be able to handle meeting Julian''s pokemonter. Since this was over they went back to their hotel. That day another news took over Hoenn once again, the battle between Julian and Steven got viral, got millions of views and got shared everywhere. People were going crazy over how powerful Julian''s Tyranitar looked. It even made into the news. Julian who is currently watching the TV sighed seeing the news on the TV right now. His ''Favorite'' news anchor Achara was once again on the screen. Anchor "People of Hoenn we have another news about our favorite champion of all time, Julian. It was said that he got challenged by the heir of the Devon corporation Steven Stone who was the previous year champion of the pokemon league but got defeated by the elite four Drake during his climb through the rankings. The Champion Julian excepted the challenge and they battled on the battlefield present at the Devon Corporation. The audience who were present in the seen said that the battle was very devastating and without the protection being present many would have definitely got hurt. Many spectators filmed the battle on their phone but one person had a professional camera with him and we were able to acquire the footage from him here take a look. Steven Stone used his most powerful Pokemon which is a very rare Shiny Metagross and the Champion Julian used a Tyranitar, this is the first pokemon that Champion Julian has released in public and manypetitors are already trying toe up with strategies to defeat Julian''s Tyranitar. As we all know Champion Julian has never lost a single battle and the only pokemon of his that ever fainted was his Kabutops which had a battle with Lance, the current champion of Kanto and Jhoto. The trainers who are participating in this year''s league only have one wish and that is to take down at least one of the champion Julian''s pokemon''s. I know, I know, he is not a champion anymore and many of our viewers were telling that in yesterdays forum discussion but speaking his name and not adding Champion in front of it seems very disrespectful to me, we all know that he didn''t lose his title, he just didn''t want it or he would still be the champion of Kanto" As Achara finished her news the program came to an end. Julian sighed. Julian "Well now at least the league will be more interesting, trainers are now training harder, so I might actually find some decent battles, here and there". Julian said as he looked at his two girlfriends whopletely ignored him and continued ying with their new pokemons. Julian ''I think telling them to catch knew pokemons was a bad idea'' Gengar "Gegegege" Gengarughed and patted Julian''s shoulder and gave him some hope that he is not alone. Julian "Gengar you really are a true partner" Gengar "Gegegegegegege". Chapter 214 - The League Is Here Time passed by as if it was just yesterday but two months have already passed and the banners have risen everywhere, the league is about to start and people are still hyped. Julian is still the most famous person in Hoenn right now, Daisy and Chloe are a little sad because the day for their departure ising near but they are still happy because they were able to spend enough time to spend with Julian. ?? They have gotten a lot closer and are in love. Julian, Chloe, and Daisy are currently in teport city which has beenpletely rebuilt. Julian is impressed by how fast the people of this world work, well it was due to their advanced technology that helped a lot. Julian''spany became the fastest growingpany and they are soon going to build a side branch in Hoenn as well. People love their products and the recipe being personally made by Julian attracted even more attention right now because of the publicity he received during the past two months. Fan clubs after fan clubs are being opened after Julian, even his pokemons action figures are being sold right now. Not only Julian has received fame. Chloe also became a huge hit in Hoenn and being one of Julian''s girlfriend she received even more attention, she even got to be a model for a popr handbag brand in Hoenn. Diantha said that it might be helpful for her so she modeled for it as well, her posters are posted on huge buildings of Hoenn as she is holding different stylish bags. Daisy, on the other hand, received a different kind of treatment, knowing that she is Professor Oak''s granddaughter, Julian''s girlfriend and the person who topped the Hoenn''s groomer exam made the public respect her even more, the person she was supposed to assist personally called her and told her that she would personally fly over to Kanto to bring her back to Kalos as Daisy told her that she will be in Kanto at that time. The teport city has gone through massive changes, now that it is not just a seashore but there are even mountains present, huge wind turbines are being installed to supply the city with energy obtained from natural resources. Rock climbing became a thing in teport city now, due to the cliff created by Groudon, people started to climb to the top as sportsmanship. Not only rock climbing but cliff jumping as well. teport City is now one of the most important cities in Hoenn because at its bore rare elemental stones and diamonds were discovered. People who owned thosend became rich in just one night. People started to also change, now they are taking care of their surroundings more than before, the disasters they witnessed, they didn''t want to see it once again. __________________ Julian is in the hotel room''s bed with Daisy and Chloe by his side. Julian "Ok now, enough sleeping we need to head to Ever Grande city, I have a League to conquer" Chloe "No, just a little longer" She said and tightly hugged him. Daisy "Yes, just a little longer" She also hugged him tightly. Julian sighed and smiled. Julian "No, let''s go, if you keep sticking to me like these you pokemons would get jealous" Julian said and got off from the bed. Chloe "I don''t know how can you still have so much energy after what you did to use yesterday night" Chloe said and puffed her cheeks. Julian just smiled and went to the bathroom and cleaned up, he then prepared breakfast while the two girls cleaned themselves up. Julian "Ladies, quick have your breakfast or we will miss the ship" Daisy "Why did you have to send your car to Kanto, we could have driven till Lilycove city then took a ship" Julian "I wanted to spend more time with you so I choose the ship, ok now quick finish the breakfast and we will leave" As they got ready they left the hotel as the owner of the hotel himself escorted them till the harbor. They boarded a luxury ship which started to sail towards Ever Grande city right after they got in. The captain personally visited them and gave his greetings and left them alone in their luxury room. Julian "It''s going to be a long journey, luckily I have both of you by my side" Julian said and pulled them closer and felt their asses. Daisy/Chloe "Pervert" Julian "Hehe" He then put them on the bed and started another round. The journey from teport took them one week three days, Julian didn''t get bored neither did Chloe and Daisy. Once they reached Ever Grande city they were surprised by the decoration being done. Huge posters about the league were everywhere, the city is crowded by people, stalls are opened everywhere, new shops are being opened, fests are being organized everywhere. The city is awake 24/7. The Hoenn league this time seems to be grander than ever. Julian "This year''s League is really special huh? look how much decorated the streets are and we have not even entered the victory road" Daisy "Yes, can''t wait to see what the Victory road is decorated like" Chloe "I just want to watch you battle that''s all" Daisy "Will you use any of your old pokemons?" Julian "Huh? No, using them would be like I am bulling some 2-year-old kids" Chloe "Hehe, even your current pokemons would wreck thepetition" Julian "At least they won''t destroy the arena and kill everyone, hahaha" Daisy "Shut up, you are scaring the driver" Daisy said. Yes, they are in a private taxi right now, when the driver saw who his customers are he almost fainted and now hearing Julian talk about his pokemons made him sweat bullets. Daisy "Mr. Driver, don''t worry, they are just pulling your leg, don''t mind them" Driver "YES MAM" Chloe moved in closer to Julian''s ear and whispered. Chloe "Where you bluffing?" Julian also whispered in her ears. Julian "To be honest, destroying the arena is an understatement" Luckily the driver didn''t hear it or he would have a heart attack. Chapter 215 - Register For The League The next day of their arrival in Ever Grande city Julian, Daisy and Chloe are now headed towards Victory road, they booked a private cab. The cab soon arrived outside the five-star hotel, the cab driver didn''t know why a rich person who could afford t stay in a five-star hotel need a cab. ?? Soon he saw his passengers arriving, when he saw who it was he almost fainted from excitement, Julian, Chloe, and Daisy sat in the cab. Julian "We can go now" Julian said to the cab driver. Cab Driver "Yes sir" He hit the elerator and drove towards victory road. Soon they entered the victory road and as Julian expected, it was decorated to the extreme, the whole victory road was covered with red carpet and stalls were everywhere, merchants were having a huge profit due to the league, they have not even entered near the vicinity of the Ever Grande Conference. Chloe "I expected it to be big but not this big" Daisy "Yes, look how grand it looked,st year''s league was nothingpared to this" Julian "I want to know who and all are taking part, maybe I might encounter some decent trainers" Daisy "Ash might give you a good battle, I know him since he was a baby, he might have improved a lot fromst time" Julian "Only time will tell" As the passed the Victory road they arrived outside the vicinity of Ever Grande Conference, outside this conference, many roads lead to many small viges where all the trainers will be allowed to stay during the league. Julian "You can leave, we will enter the conference by our own" Julian said to the driver, he got out of the cab followed by Daisy and Chloe. Cab Driver "Sir, all the best" Julian "Well, thank you" The Conference is held in the middle of this bigke, right in the center lies the main stadium where the knockout rounds will take ce between the final 32 trainers, the main stadium is connected to an outer circle which holds five mini stadiums where the selection round will take ce between 256 trainers who have passed the preliminaries. Then these five small stadiums are connected to an even bigger outer circle where all the main attraction of the league is being helped, brands sponsored by the league are able to sell their products here, the shops and stores that are here have paid extra money to set up their stalls here, whether it is small or big, verities of products can be found during the league days, advance electronic items, rare elemental and evolution stones, and even Mega Stones. Delicious food that has been originated from regions outside of Hoenn and many more. Along with these brand stores, there is also the registration office located in this circle, where the trainers are heading towards to register themselves for the league. And this final outer circle is connected to five different small viges where the preliminaries will be held, every trainer is allowed to use only one pokemon during the preliminaries. Julian, Chloe, and Daisy are now heading towards the registration office where he will register himself for the league. As he walked towards the registration office many people and trainers noticed him and gasped, they couldn''t believe a champion is walking amongst them, no one tried to approach him because they are too nervous. Soon he arrived in front of the registration office and when he went in he saw Ash and his friends already present there. Ash saw Julian, Daisy, and Chloe and called him out. Ash "Julian over here" Hearing Ash shouts everyone turned around and saw that Julian has entered the registration office, people who saw him were shocked but excited at the same time. Ash rushed towards Julian. Ash "I saw your battle on the inte, your Tyranitar looks so strong, I can''t believe its the same Larvitar I saw before" Julian "Hmm, So how are you and Pikachu doing?" Ash "We have be super strong together, aren''t we Pikachu?" Pikachu "Pikkkkachu" Julian "I see, I hope we don''t meet before the finals" Ash "Don''t worry I will defeat everybody and finally have the battle you owe me" Julian "Haha, we will see about that" Daisy "Ash, long time no see,st time I saw you, you were just 7 years old" Daisy stepped in and pulled Ash''s cheeks. Ash "Aaahhhhh, Daisy it hurts stop it" Daisy "Come on, when you were little you used toe running towards me when you and Gary had a fight, now you are trying to distance yourself from me?" Ash "No, I meant it hurts if you pull my cheeks like that" Daisy "Oh, but you didn''tin about it when you were little" Julian "Ok, Daisy stop or you will embarrass him in front of his friends" Daisy "Ok" Suddenly Brock storms towards Daisy and Chloe and grabs their hands. Brock "How are you, mydies? My name is Brock and I am your biggest fan" Before Brock could even get an answer he was punched by Julian and sent him shooting through the roof and into the sky. Julian "Nobody touches them when I am around" Julian said and blow away the smoke in his hand, he didn''t kill Brock, he just sent him flying that''s all. Ash, May, and Maxughed awkwardly seeing Brock handled so easily by Julian. Max "Well he deserved that" May "Ya, he did" Julian "So have you registered already?" Ash "Yes, I have, my first opponent seems to be someone called Gilbert" Julian "I see, then, best of luck" Julian said and went to the empty counter where ady is waiting eagerly for his arrival, seeing Julian walked towards her, she quickly adjusted her hair and dress before standing straight and looked at him with a smile. Julian "Here this should do right?" Julian passed the eight badges and his ID to her. Receptionist Lady "Yes Sir" She quickly registered him in the league and his first opponent was soon generated by aputer. Someone named Travis. He looked like a man in his 20s. Julian "Travis huh?" Receptionist Lady "Sir, your room is in Vige number one and this battle will take ce there itself" Julian "Ok, thank you" Julian took back his badges and ID and went back to Chloe and Daisy. Chapter 216 - Ever Grande Hoenn League Chloe "So who is your first opponent?" Julian "Someone named Travis, I don''t know much about him, let''s just hope he puts up a good fight" ?? Daisy "I don''t know about that, I hope you have fun" Julian "Hmm, Ok let''s go and check out those stores we saw outside, I know you two are waiting to run out of this building as soon as possible" Chloe "Hehe, I guess you know us too well" Julian "How couldn''t I" Soon they left the registration office as they were watched by many pokemon trainers and visitors with respect. Some of them felt bad for his first opponent Travis. Poor Travis he has no idea, he has be "famous" in just one day by bing Julian''s first opponent. The League will start the day after tomorrow and tomorrow will be the opening ceremony where the few chose trainers will be chosen to run holding the mes of Moltres and finally light the huge torch at the top of the tower in the main stadium which will indicate the start of the league. Charles Goodshow will be overlooking this ceremony. Julian had received a call from Goodshow to run with the torch but he rejected it. Since Goodshow couldn''t get Julian to do it, he chooses some other trainer named Tyson. Julian just spent his day with Chloe and Daisy until night fell. Next morning Julian woke up and looked outside the window to see fireworks go off, Daisy and Chloe also woke up and looked outside. Julian "Looks like the run for the torch is being held right now" Chloe "Do you want to go outside and take a look?" Julian "Na, let''s just watch it on the TV, I am toozy to go outside" Daisy "I knew you would say that" Soon Julian turned on the TV and checked what is happening, to his surprise something else is going on. Officer Jenny "Attention the me of Molters has been stolen, we have to dy the ceremony, we ask forgiveness for the inconvenience." Julian ''Ho, looks like those three are at it again'' Julian is, of course, thinking about Team Rocket, those three idiots arrive anywhere Ash goes and they followed him to the Ever Grande conference as well. Julian ''Those three are something special aren''t they, even after being humiliated, defeated and sent flying every time, they stille back, they are good at everything except stealing pokemon'' Chloe "What are you thinking? Are you nning to help?" Julian "Naa, Ash and his friends will take care of it, and even if they sessfully steal that torch, Charles has more Moltres me stored separately" Daisy "Then why are they going after the torch, they could just light up a new one" Julian "Well Charles is not an idiot, he knows if he ignores the thieves they wille back again and steal the torch again, instead of that he let the trainers and the thieves run around the city trying to get the mes. If they are able to catch the thieves they will use the stolen me if they don''t Charles will give the other one he has when the thieves are not expecting it" Chloe "So that old man is just fooling around?" Julian "Yes, and that is why I don''t give a damn about it" Daisy "Poor Ash, he has to run around the city to catch those thieves now" Julian "Let''s head out, the trainer would be gathering in the main stadium soon" Chloe/ Daisy "Ok" ____________________ Ash and his friends defeated team rocket easily and sent them flying but the result of it was the mes being extinguished, Charles, however, had an extra me just like Julian had said, it was then handed over to Tyson who began his run towards the Ever Grande stadium with the torch in his hand and his Meowth by his side. Julian is inside the stadium inside a VIP room with Daisy and Chloe as they look at the gathering of trainers around the stadium waiting for the torch to arrive. The red carpet leads directly towards the top of the stadium which holds the huge main torch of the league. Soon the wait was over and Tyson arrived with Ash and others, he then passed the torch to Ash and Ash ran towards the top and handed the torch over to Charles Goodshow. Charles lights up the torch and announced. Charles "Trainers from all around the world, this is the beginning of this year''s Ever Grande Hoenn League. I hope each and every trainer today in this stadium and the ones who are participating in this league battle with passion and fairness, trust you pokemons till the end and try to have the best battle you could possibly wish for. That is all I have to say about how trainers need to battle, now let''s talk about the rules. The league is separated into three parts, The Preliminaries, The Qualifying Rounds and The Final rounds In the Preliminaries, a trainer will be only using 1 pokemon per battle, out of 600 registered trainers only 256 trainers will advance to the Qualifying round. The Qualifying round ispletely different in the Hoenn league, a Trainer will use two pokemons at the same time, it could also be called a double battle, when both of the trainer''s pokemon fall they lose, trainer will have to win all three double battles to advance to the finals, only 32 trainers will then qualify to the finals. The Finals are simple sudden death battles, trainers will use four pokemon each in the top 32 and top 16, and further down from the quarterfinals trainers will be able to use six of their pokemon. Now that I have exined how the league rules are. Everybody, go back and train hard, tomorrow will be the start of the preliminaries"'' Charles ended his speech and the Trainer dispersed as they wait for tomorrows sun to rise in anticipation. Chapter 217 - Preliminaries Julian is near the venue where the Preliminaries is taking ce, to his surprise even Ash''s match is in Vige 1 and it is before his, so he decided to watch the battle. He is currently in a room filled withputers, it has the data of trainers stored in it, trainerse here to research about their opponent. ?? Julian had nothing to worry about his opponent but he still decided to see what his opponent is like. As he walked in trainers saw him and started to talk among themselves, they mostly talked about how strong he is and pitied his opponent. Soon he arrived in front of aputer and switched it on and entered his Venue number and match number, soon a screen popped up revealing two photos, it is of him and his opponent Travis. He seems to actually be a veteran pokemon trainer who has participated in the league twice and has reached the qualifiers twice in a row but to his bad luck both of the time, he got put against that one trainer who actually won the league conference. He couldn''t advance to the top 32 because of that. Julian ''Wow, his luck is bad'' Julian thought and scrolled down. Julian ''Travis''s main pokemon seems to be his Cacturne. He won most of his battle with it'' Julian scrolled down more and saw his profile, only is Tyranitar is disyed on it, they didn''t have information about his other pokemons, the gyms are not allowed to disclose trainer''s information, the trainers who have their pokemon revealed in the public are disyed here. Only Julian''s Tyranitar has made his reveal. Julian ''Should I use another pokemon or go with Tyranitar for this one, I think I will go with Tyranitar, at least he will be confident to take on my Tyranitar with his Cacturne''s type advantage.'' Julian thought and got up and walked outside, soon he heard the announcement that the Preliminaries has begun, Chloe and Daisy said they will meet him at the venue so he headed there. Once he reached there he saw Chloe and Daisy waving their hands at him. Julian "When did you arrive?" Daisy "Just now, we had lost of fun" Chloe "Ya, we went to a lot of stores, we even bought something for you and your pokemon" Julian "Great, let''s head in, it about to start, Ash''s battle will soon begin, I want to see how much he has improved" Daisy and Chloe nodded and soon they walked into the stadium, Julian had already asked for a VIP room for them to watch the battle. After two battles of the preliminaries, Ash''s battle is now going to take ce. Julian waits as he sees Ash walk into the stadium with Pikachu on his shoulder. Julian "Its about to begin" As Ash walked in his opponent Gilbert also walked in, he is a young boy who seems to be about 12-13 years of age. He is wearing a martial art''s uniform and a thin red bandanna on his forehead. He seems to be very determined to defeat his opponent and move on to the Qualification round. Referee "Trainers choose your Pokemon" Gilbert "Hitmonlee, let''s win this" Gilbert sent out his Hitmonlee, it seemed well trained and strong. Well, all 600 trainers in this league have gotten eight badges from the gyms around Hoenn, so they are strong. Gym leaders never go all out or use their main pokemon for gym battles or not many would be able to participate in the league. Ash looked at his opponent then at Pikachu. Ash "Pikachu let''s do it" Pikachu nodded and jumped into the battlefield and released an electric charge around his cheeks. Announcer "They have chosen their pokemon, Gilbert is going with his Ace Hitmonlee and Ash is going with Pikachu, let''s see in whose favor will this battle be" Referee "Both Trainers ready?" Ash/Gilbert "Yes" Referee "Begin" The referee waves the g in his hand andmences the battle. Gilbert "Hitmonlee, use Double Kick" Hitmonlee charges towards Pikachu and swings its legs and try to kick Pikachu. Ash "Pikachu dodge" Luckily Pikachu is much faster and easily dodges the double kick. Ash "No Thunderbolt" As soon as Pikachu dodges the second kick Ashmands, Pikachu at point-nk range release a powerful Thunderbolt which sends Hitmonlee flying through the air and crashing on the ground. Gilbert "HITMONLEE" His Hitmonlee has dealt a lot of damage, it struggles to get back to its feet Gilbert "Hitmonlee we can do this, let''s go Mega Kick" Ash "Pikachu let''s finish this, use Thunderbolt again" Before Hitmonlee could even reach Pikachu, Pikachu sent a powerful Thunderbolt whit hit Hitmonlee directly and sent it flying again, it crashed on the ground. Gilbert "Hitmonlee, get up" Hitmonlee struggled, its arms and legs are shaking, it finally got back to its fee but it suddenly falls down face first, knocked out. Seeing this the stadium bes silent for a few seconds and burst into cheers. Announcer "DID YOU SEE THAT, only two moves, Pikachu defeated Hitmonlee with just two Thunderbolts" Ash "Pikachu you were awesome" Ash runs towards Pikachu and hugs him. Not only the audience but Julian is also very surprised by the power behind that Thunderbolt, it was no way near his Electivire''s power but from thest time he saw Pikachu use that move it is way powerful this time. Julian "Hahahahaha, looks like he really improved a lot, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to win any league" Daisy "He really is impressive" Chloe "That kid has a lot of potentials, even I was not that strong when I was ten" Julian "Hmm, soon it will be my turn". Chapter 207 - Breaking The News Julian, Daisy, and Chloe got back to the city and into their hotel, Daisy and Chloe are tired after spending lot''s of time on the hills. As they returned to the hotel room they directly went to sleep after eating dinner, Julian isn''t feeling sleepy so he decided to take a short walk outside the city, the streets in the night are very quiet unlike his previous world, people are in their home, happily eating and enjoying their life together. ?? As he walked deeper into the city he noticed something, people were sleeping on the streets, he realized what is happening, due to all the houses being destroyed in Groudon''s and Kyogre''s rampage, many of them are homeless. Some people share their own house with strangers but the one that cannot find any ce to stay have to spend their night on the streets. Julian is no way foreign to these events, he has seen masses living in streets in his old life due to the huge war, many of them were homeless and many children turned orphan. Luckily this world is more advanced than his previous one, they know how to handle stuff during disasters, even though many cities and towns were destroyed no once died but some suffered from diseases and hunger. Seeing small children hugging their parents while sleeping, Julian felt sad. This is something he had seening, not everything will turn good, even though the environment changed for the better, people are still suffering from a shortage of food, they don''t have a ce to stay, they cannot live in the vast wilderness as the pokemons there are aggressive and very territorial. Hoenn may be huge but most of it is forest and mountains only 20 percent is upied by human civilization. Julian "I cannot let go of this after seeing it, I will just feel guilty if I ignore them" Julian said and took out his phone and called Jimi, one of the main shareholder of hispany and the member of the board. Jimi "Julian for what do I owe this call from you?" Julian "I want you to donate money for the development of Hoenn" Jimi "How much?" Julian "As high as we can give" Jimi "We can do that but the shares of thepany may go down" Julian "Its a risk, and I know you like taking risks and this is the perfect chance, donate huge money, this will also work as a promotion" Jimi "I see what you mean, it may be a risk but the award might be huge as well" Julian "Discuss with the board, I will send a signed document to you tomorrow morning" Jimi "Ok, have a good night" Julian "You too" Julian cut the call and looked at the people sleeping on the streets once again and sighed. Julian "What Hoenn need right now is more money, I can provide them that" He then turned around and went back to his room. After reaching his hotel room, he noticed both Chloe and Daisy are in deep sleep, he quickly did some paperwork and went to sleep. Next day he sent it to Jimi, Daisy and Chloe got up soon and they had their breakfast. Julian decided to watch thetest news to see what''s going on, he switched on the TV and changed the channel to a local news one. Anchor "Good morning to all our viewers, I am your host Achara, we have two huge breaking news today, first is about JC corporations, yes the fastest-growing pokemon food industry which is preferred by most of the pokemon trainers and breeders across the world and yes this corporation is under the strongest champion to ever step foot in the league. The corporation''s worth is about 100 billion Pokedors and is estimated to grow up to 500 billion in a year. The head of this corporation is, of course, the champion Julian and he has decided to help Hoenn by donating 5 billion Pokedors to Hoenn for its development, the government of Hoenn and the elites of Hoenn are already in touch with two of the shareholders of thepany Professor Oak and Jimi Brown as they are discussing about it. People of Hoenn let''s thank the Champion Julian for his generosity and kindness to us and help us in tough times. Next news is as big as this one as well, instead of me saying it why don''t all of you see it on your own" The Anchor said and turned to the screen behind her, it suddenly started to y footage of Julian sitting in the crowd and eating popcorn. Seeing this Julian''s eyes went wide. Anchor "As you all guessed, this person is the greatest champion of all time Julian himself, he was seen in Lilycove city watching the battle between the champion of Kalos Diantha and the new rising star Chloe, luckily one of the cameraman in the arena recognized him and filmed him. Come let''s talk to this cameraman who was able to notice him" The screen behind the anchor changed and started to y a live interview of the cameraman and a female interviewer next to him. Interviewer "First of all can you please tell us the viewers watching at home your name" Cameraman "Yes my name is Alex and I am 27 years old" Interviewer "So Alex can you tell us about what exactly happened that day" Alex "It was the same boring day for me but I got a call to film the live broadcast because the main cameraman got flu, I got excited because of I always dream of filming a champion battle and that day was the perfect day for me. When I reached the arena where the asion is taking ce I saw amotion outside the registration area, I saw two men trying to bully the rising star Chloe but they suddenly got interfered by a tall handsome man, when I saw this man I froze on the spot, it was the champion, Julian. I saw him take down one of the men easily. Before I could get everything together what just happened I had lost him, at first I thought I was mistaken and saw someone else but that''s not possible, I am his biggest fan I can never forget his face, I have huge posters of him in my room. It was definitely the Champion Julian, I knew I have to find him, I was very unlucky that I didn''t get to meet and talk to him in person but when I was filing and going through the audience reaction, I saw him, he was carefully looking at the battle between Champion Diantha and Chloe the rising star." Interviewer "That is indeed a rare sight because the Champion Julian is known to be very hard to catch in public, you were very lucky to notice him" Alex "Yes, hahaha" Interviewer "You said that you saw the Champion Julian helped the rising star Chloe, do you perhaps think they were together" Alex "From what I saw they did seem close, two be exact I saw two women with Champion Julian, one can be seen in the footage I captured, the woman on his right and of course there is the rising star Chloe was with him as well, from the vibe I was getting from them, they are definitely lovers" Interviewer "Hehe, so you are saying that Champion Julian is adies man as well" Alex "Definitely" Interviewer "Haha, thank you for your time Alex, hope you have a great day, back to you Achara" The interviewer turned to the camera and the live footage ended. Anchor "And that is the end of the interview, and look at this people are already started to spection about why Champion Julian is here. All of you can go to our forum and post your thoughts about this situation" Anchor "Ho, look at this a juicy though by Natalia, what does she have to say" The anchor starts to read the thoughts posted live on their forum one by one, while she is doing that Julian, on the other hand, is shocked by the reaction of everyone on the TV, he was leaving such a peaceful life these few days that he grewpletely forgot the power of the public. He didn''t even notice that Daisy and Chloe were sitting next to him also shocked by their appearance on the news, Chloe''s fame skyrocketed when she had her battle with Diantha, people loved her and Daisy being seen with Julian and her beauty also captured a lot of attention. The trio became famous all over Hoenn in just a day. Chapter 208 - Breaking The News (2) The News Anchor then started to read out all thements and thoughts that people were posting on their forum. Anchor "Oh hears a juicy one, ''Champion Diantha is having the battle to win over Champion Julian from Chloe'' Hahahaha that''s funny, but who knows it may be true" ?? Anchor "Oh look this one is also interesting, the woman who is sitting on his right side is actually Professor Oak''s own granddaughter, Daisy Oak" Anchor "Another one, oh, this is a theory ''the mysterious person appearing in Hoenn and the champion also being in Hoenn, can it be both of them are one and the same'', that is possible theory but there is no evidence backing it, the sudden disappearance of Groudon and Kyogre makes that person in mask more mysterious" The News anchor went through thements posted on their forum one after the other until the show came to an end. Julian sighed seeing this, then he realized that both his girlfriends were also sitting there next to him shocked. Julian "Hahaha, this is why I don''t like the media, I just appeared in public, someone recognized me and now both of you are involved as well" Daisy "Wow, I didn''t expect people to recognize me as Professor Oak''s granddaughter, and Chloe you have be a star, hehe" Chloe "What? how did that happen, I just battle once and this is the reaction?" Julian "Well, that''s how the inte and media is. If the public likes something they will be praised by everyone, if the public hates them they will get bombarded with mean things every day" Daisy "Poor Diantha, even she got dragged into this mindless rumor" Chloe "Haha, Let it be, she is going to get more publicity due to this. Since Julian''s name is big she will also favor from it" Julian "You are right, I just hope she doesn''t feel awkward when someone asks her about me" Diantha just having a battle with Chloe caused a hugemotion, people start toe up with weird fantasy about Julian, Daisy, Chloe, and Diantha. Even though many didn''t believe it but still people talked about it as it is their job to spread false rumors. The day went away but themotion didn''t go down. People started to realize that Julian was in Hoenn for quite a long time, people he met, had battles, traveled along within ships and ferries, all started to freak out that they spent some time with Julian even though he didn''t talk to them. The man named Salven who he exchanged his Heracronite with Scpetilite almost fainted when he got this news. Samual the trainer with Zoroark was also shocked by the news, he was really disappointed when he lost that battle but after finding out his identity he felt a little proud, he had battled a champion and most champions didn''t even have the privilege to battle him. Julian who is in his hotel looking at the TV with his hand on his head, while Chloe and Daisy are giggling seeing him like this, even Gengar has joined them andughing at Julian. In the local news channel the same host as yesterday, Achara is once again back with her morning news about Julian. Achara "We have confirmed this source of news, the previous champion of Kanto, Julian is participating in theing league in Hoenn, people and his fans are going crazy, his loyal fans are outraged by the people who met him and didn''t even recognize who he is. Some people are saying it is unfair for the champion to participate in the league but the champion Julian is an exception, even though everyone calls him a champion he really isn''t, he has resigned his post and wants to travel around the world, and as for the league, our source has found out that he raised new pokemon who are from the Hoenn region for the Hoenn league. His fans are going crazy and want the league officials to being the league before its announced date. Not only his fans but every other trainer who is participating in this year''s league is excited about it because they want to face off with him as well. People from around the world are actuallying to Hoenn to watch him battle again, in the Indigo league he was apletely new face but after he won it with such dominance every person who saw him that day with his powerful pokemons became a fan" The news anchor Achara continued talking about him. Julian, on the other hand, was annoyed by this, even the hotel staff working in the hotel were shocked to see him in their hotel and started to knock every hour to ask if he needs anything, he had to put a do not disturb sign behind the door to have some peace and quiet. Julian ''Ohhhhhhh, my beautiful peace and quiet days, where are you? pleasee back'' Chloe and Daisy were having a great time seeing his reaction, even though their fame also grew by every second, Julian''s exposure in the public was like a wildfire. Julian ''I stayed hidden for months for people to forget about me, fully concentrated on business while doing so, but now everything is ruined, my peaceful life is over'' Julianid on the bed thinking about is beautiful peaceful days. Chloe and Daisy joined him and giggled. Chloe "You know it''s not that bad, most of the time we are traveling alone, you only have to face them when you enter the city" Daisy "And this will also help yourpany to grow faster, Grandpa will also be able to do more research about pokemon from the money he will earn" Chloe "Ah, I totally forgot, I didn''t even know that you owned such a huge corporation" Julian "Ah, girls, I don''t know how I would have handled this situation without you two" He said and hugged them. Their next stop Rustboro city, then the pokemon league. Chapter 220 - Qualifiers The day is here when the best 256 trainers in Hoenn is going to battle against each other so they can advance to the top 32 of Hoenn in the league. Being in the top 32 means a trainer will have more fame and power, all the trainers at least want to enter the top 32 so they won''t be looked down by the masses. ?? Julian is currently sitting in front of aputer and check out his opponent for today''s double battle, his opponent seems to be a woman named Barbara, she seems to be a mix trainer just like him so he has no idea what pokemon she is going to use. Julian "Who should I choose for today''s double battle?" Julian thought for a while and finally decided, he is going with Sceptile and Flygon, they both are going to cover each other''s weakness unless they encounter an Ice-type but Julian still has ns for that. Julian "Let''s go, its already time, the Qualifiers has already begun" Yes, the battle for the Qualifiers has already begun and Julian''s battle is thest one of the day, he asked Chloe and Daisy to go forward and watch the battle while he checks on his opponents profile. Soon Julian arrived at stadium 2 of the five stadiums in the outer circle, this is where his battle is going to take ce, he soon arrived in the VIP room where he saw Daisy and Chloe sitting and watching the battle. Julian "How long has it been?" Chloe "It just began, but I can''t see that Ash''s match card anywhere" Julian "His battle must have been transferred into another stadium, meaning we won''t meet each other in battlefield soon" Daisy "Come, let''s watch, I was getting bored without you" Julian "Ok" Julian joined them and started to watch the battle. All the double battle he watched were actually good, the trainers were strong and one trainer even Mega Evolved his pokemon which got a huge cheer from the crowd, it was a Mega Aggron. Chloe "I didn''t expect to see a Mega Evolution so early in the league" Daisy "Well, so many trainers had gone crazy when it was announced and everyone wanted to get one so I am not surprised to find a trainer with a Mega Stone" Julian "That''s true, many trainers in the league might have Mega Stones and Keystones to mega evolve their pokemon" Julian, Chloe, and Daisy watched the battle one after another and soon Julian''s queue is up. Julian "Ok I will be going" Julian got up, kissed them and walked away. Daisy/Chloe "Don''t destroy the battlefield" Julian just sighed and smiled at them and went towards the waiting room. As his battle is thest one of the day in Stadium 2, workers of the Devon corporation are already on the move and setting up thing to broadcast his battle. As he is inside the waiting room and his eyes closed, he is clearing his mind so he can concentrate on the battle. Soon a manes in a informs him that the battle is about to start. Julian "I will be there" Julian says and sends the man away. As he hears the announcer start his announcement he gets up and walks towards an underground elevator which will automatically elevate him on the battlefield, he stands there and waits for his call. On the empty battlefield and the audience around it, everybody is silent as they wait of the trainers to appear on the battlefield. Announcer "Now, its time, the final battle of the day, I know everyone in this stadium is waiting for this battle for quite a long time, now without any further a dew let''s introduce our first trainer, she is a trainer who made into the top 32 of the previous Ever Grande conference, she has a reputation of having fierce battle with her opponents, all her pokemons are fierce and powerful, now please wee our first trainer, Barbara." As the announcer finished his announcement, the part of the stadium opened up and soon a woman with purple hair, purple dress, and purple lips, her eyes look fierce, just like the announcer described her to be. The crowd cheered as she appeared. Announcer "Now, Introducing, well, to be honest, this person needs no introduction, he is the one who is favored to win this years league in style and dominance, please wee, Julian" As the announcer finished his introduction Julian also rose up from the underground and looked around. The people in the audience went crazy as he arrived, they shout his names and the women in them asked him to marry them, of course, this pisses of Daisy and Chloe but they tolerate it as they know they are just fans. The Referee soon walks in and looks at Julian and Barbara. Referee "This battle will be a double battle, both trainers will use two pokemon at the same time when both pokemons of a trainer are unable to battle they lose and will be eliminated from the league" As the Referee went through the rules Julian started at his opponent, she seems to be not nervous at all but from the inside, she is screaming, forpletely two different reasons, first is that she is currently standing in front of her idol and is going to have a battle with him, this is her dream and it ising true. Second, she is crushing her bad luck that she has to face Julian before the top 32 even began. A trainer will be going home even if they lose a single battle and Barbara knows she has no chance. Well, at least she is being sent home by her Idol so she is a little happy inside. Julian was getting confused by seeing Barbara as he could not pinpoint what Barbara was thinking, just a second ago he felt that she is nervous, her mood changed and she became happy, then she became mad, then she became happy. Since he could not tell what is going through her mind he decided to ignore her. Julian ''Well, she might at least put up a decent battle''. Chapter 210 - Reviving The Fossils Julian is currently thinking about what he should do after the league ends, Chloe and Daisy are also with him thinking the same as well. Julian "I think we all should go back to Kanto before going our separate ways, I also want to start knew so going to Kanto is what I will do" ?? Chloe "I will alsoe with you, then take a flight to Kalos" Daisy "Me too" Julian "That''s good, but before that, I have to win the league" Chloe "Will you challenge the elite four after winning the league?" Julian "I don''t know, I don''t think I will, not to be harsh but except Drake, the other elites are not that strong, I think I will just battle him and have an exhibition match with Wace I guess" Chloe "I see, then, best of luck" Julian nodded. The days in Verdanturf went by like nothing, they left the city without being noticed by the media and finally reached Rustboro city. Entering the city they were noticed by people but he was able to get into the hotel he reserved before, people still posted it online and people living in Rustboro are excited because they can encounter him by chance. Julian knew he cannot go out carelessly because some reporters would be in disguise and waiting outside the hotel he is currently staying. He researched the fossil restoration done here in Rustboro city in Devon corporation, he researched some more to find that Devon corporation deals in many things, they sponsor many research facilities in their research, but their main business is steel manufacturing. Julian decided to go to Devon today and get over with all the things. He, Chloe and Daisy then went rode to Devon corporation, of course, the media tried to interfere but he kindly rejected them an, he was fed up of running from them so he confronted them and told them not to bother him anymore. Of course, many of them will still try to be around him and take his photos but they won''t shove a mic and camera on his face every time they see him. When they entered the Devon corporation, they saw many tourists inside the building, Devon corporation''s headquarters is not just a research facility but also an exhibition center, manytest gadgets, and new technology that is being created are disyed here, some of them are even for sale. When he entered the building some of the workers noticed him and were shocked seeing him and his girlfriends here. Julian "Let''s look around for a while, there seem to be many interesting things here" Chloe "Yes, I also want to see, if something interests me I will buy it" Daisy "Me too" As they were talking Julian noticed a man in a brown suit quickly heading towards him with a big smile on his face. "Wee, Mr. Julian, Miss Chloe, and Miss Daisy. I am Francesco, I am the manager of the lower floors in Devon corporation. If there is anything just ask me" This man seems to be a manager. Julian "We wanted to recover a fossil pokemon but before that, we would like to take a look around" Francesco "Of course, follow me I will be your personal guide them" The manager Francesco started to show Julian, Daisy, and Chloe around the corporation, on the way Julian bought himself a Laptop, he didn''t want to use the once he finds in hotels. Chloe and Daisy bought new phones for themselves as well. They finally reached the upper floors of the corporation where all the science takes ce. Francesco "From this floor all the research facility of the Devon corporation takes ce, even though our main business in steel manufacturing, this ce is not suitable to do that here, our CEO is a huge fan of technology so he decided to fund all the research but in one condition and that is to carry all the research here" Julian "I see" Francesco "Here, this is where the fossils are revived" The manager then brought them to a big room, it is filled with weird looking devices. Julian recognized some of them as they looked exactly like the one he had seen in Kanto when he revived Kabutops from just a piece of rock. Francesco "Anyone of youe here, help Mr. Julian in reviving his fossil pokemons" Francesco said, hearing him some of the scientists who were busy doing their work turned around and were surprised seeing Julian here. Julian "Daisy, Chloe give them your fossils" Chloe/Daisy "Ok" They took out the fossils and ced them on the desk, seeing the two fossils they scientist got surprised. Scientist 1 "A w and rock fossil, wow they are one of the rarest fossils to ever exist" Scientist 2 "Come let''s revive them and take down some readings" The scientist took both the fossils and ced them in the devices in the room. Francesco "The reviving will take a few hours, till that time you can check out other things around" Julian nodded and followed the manager behind followed by Daisy and Chloe. Chapter 211 - Stevens Challenge The manager took Julian, Daisy, and Chloe around the facility and showed them how the most desired equipment by the public are made. While doing so the manager received a call, it was actually from the president of the corporation himself, Mr. Stone. ?? Francesco "Mr. Julian, our president want''s to meet you, do you mind?" Julian "Sure, I would like to meet him" Chloe "Julian, you go alone, I don''t want to sit down while you both talk some boring business stuff, Daisy and I will look around" Julian "Ok, I will call you once I am done" Daisy "Ok,e let''s go, Chloe" Daisy and Chloe got busy looking around, Julian knew they would do some shopping as it''s their hobby. Francesco just stood there and waited for Julian to talk to him. Julian "Let''s go" Francesco "Then, please follow me" The manager then brought Julian into an elevator and his the second highest button, the elevator soon started to go up. After a few seconds, they arrived at their desired floor. Francesco "The president is inside, please go in" The manager said and told Julian to go in, it looks like the manager is not allowed to go in. Julian nodded and walked in, as he did he saw an old man with white spiky hair wearing a purple striped suit standing there with a bouquet in his hand. Mr. Stone "Wee Mr. Julian, I am really happy to see you visit out corporation" Julian "Don''t bother about it Mr. Stone I just had some work here that''s all" Mr. Stone gave the bouquet to him and he took it. Mr. Stone "Please have a seat" He signaled Julian to take a seat and he did as well. Julian "So Mr. Stone what did you call me?" Mr. Stone "I see, Mr. Julian is a straight forward man, so I won''t go around the bushes, actually I want to sponsor you for theing league" Julian "Oh? You know my ownpany can also do that right, it will be more profitable for me to do that as well" Mr. Stone "I understand what you are saying, and as a businessman, I know if I want some I have to give some. If you are willing to sponsored by us during this league, we will make a partnership with JC corporation." Julian thought about this, signing a partnership with Devon will be very profitable but he needs more details before making a decision. Mr. Stone "I know that JC corporation has grown big and is not trying to enter the technology market, being partners with us will be very useful to both of us" Julian "Hmm, the deal sounds reasonable, let me talk to the members of the board of mypany then we can talk about the deal" Mr. Stone "I will wait" Julian "Ok give me a second" Julian got up and walked to the side and made a call to Professor Oak and Jimi and put them both in a conference call. Oak "Julian what is it?" Jimi "Yes, what is it?" Julian "It''s about the Devon corporation" Jimi "Devon? What does that old man want?" Julian "He wants to sponsor me for theing Hoenn league" Jimi "And?" Julian "And if I do that, they will sign a partnership with us to infiltrate the technology market" Jimi "That old man is indeed sneaky, with your fame he will benefit a lot, but the technology market is growing at an exceptional rate, we should enter it before thepetition bes too tough, I think we should sign this deal" Julian "What do you say, Professor Oak?" Oak "I think we should do it, infiltrating the technology market will help us greatly" Julian "Ok, I will look into it, I will tell Mr. Devon to contact you after this" Julian cut the phone and walked back and sat on the chair. Julian "Ok, I ept your offer, Jimi will contact you and talk further into it" Mr. Stone "Great, here these are the documents, you just need to sign it" He gave a sponsorship contract to him, Julian took and read through it, after reading it properly and not finding anything unusual, he signed it. The contract stated that all his matches will be under their supervision and will be streamed in their TV channel, except the finals because the league won''t allow it, his exhibition matches would also be broadcasted by Devon corporation. From Julian''s knowledge, Devon had many TV stations, so he didn''t bother with it, he signed the contract and gave it back to him. Mr. Stone "Thank you for your time, Mr. Julian, I hope your stay in Hoenn will be good" Julian "I hope so as well" Mr. Stone "Hahaha, Mr. Julian you are funny" Heughed. "Dad" Suddenly a voice came, a young man walked in through the door and looked, he was surprised to see another man inside with his father. Julian turned around and saw, it is Steven Stone. Mr. Stone "Mr. Julian, this is my son Steven he also wants to be a champion one day but he stillcks something, he was defeated by Elite four Drake previous year" Steven "Dad, stop it. I hope I didn''t disturb Mr. Julian" Steven said. He didn''t expect Julian to be here, he now had this chance and he didn''t want to miss it. Steven "Mr. Julian can I ask for a favor?" Julian "What is it?" Steven "Can I have a battle with you?" Julian "A battle, sure" Mr. Stone "Are you sure about this Steven?" Steven "Yes" Steven nodded, he really felt devastated when he had battled Drake from elite four, he had already defeated the rest of them, he only had to defeat Drake before challenging Wace, but when he faced Drake everything seemed to be going fine when Drake suddenly went hard and destroyed his whole team, he only got one answer from him and that was ''He is not ready to be a champion''. He didn''t know why Drake did go serious against him at thest moment but he was still scared by that incident, now he wants to battle Julian to see how much he has grown. Chapter 212 - Julian Vs Steven Julian got up and stood in front of Steven. Julian "Where do you want to battle?" ?? Steven "We have a battlefield here, we can go there" Julian "I hope there is protection around the ce" Mr. Stone "Don''t worry Mr. Julian, the protection around the battlefield is as strong as the once seen in the league''s battlefield" Julian "That''s good" Julian said and walked behind Steven as he directed Julian towards the Battlefield. When Julian arrived in front of the battlefield, he got impressed by how good the condition the battlefield is maintained. As the people around the battlefield saw Julian and Steven taking on each other they got shocked and quickly started to message their friends and family about this battle. This thing became like wildfire and everyone in the Devon corporation gathered up around the battlefield, some people started to videotape and tried to record the battle. Julian "Let''s get started, how many pokemons do you want to use?" Steven "One will be enough" Julian "Ok then, I choose Tyranitar" Julian sent out his Tyranitar. As Tyranitar came out he roared causing everyone to shiver a little, he had a metal band around his neck and it had his Mega Stone ced on it. Seeing Julian''s Tyranitar people around the battlefield took a deep breath, his Tyranitar is very intimidating and with that Mega Stone around his neck, they were all startled. Steven ''Indeed his pokemons are powerful, even though he started new, he is still a champion and he can rise any pokemon to its full potential, I have to put a lot of effort in this battle'' Steven thought and took out a Pokeball and looked at it. Steven "It may be our hardest battle ever, partner. I choose you" Steven sent out his pokemon, it is a Shiny Metagross, its body reflected the sunlight of it and the golden cross on its face looked intimidating, it also had a metal band around one of its inner arms which hold a Mega Stone as well. This battle seems to be very interesting, while Tyranitar is weak to Metagross''s Steel typing but Tyranitar''s Dark-type ispletely immune to its psychic attacks. Metagross is resistant to Tyranitar''s rock type and weak against his dark type. A battle between two powerful Pseudo-legendaries is going to be devastating. Steven "Metagross let''s go, Meteor Mash" Julian ''He is starting off hard, let''s see then how he will handle this'' Julian "Tyranitar use Counter" As Tyranitar heard Julian he moved to the side and dodged Metagross''s Meteor Mash, while it was still moving forward, Tyranitar brought down his hand on top of Metagross and nted it on the ground. Just this one attack shattered the battlefield causing web-like cracks forming on it. "Oh my Arceus, did you see that, just one hit" The spectators took a deep breath, even though this is not the strongest move they had seen in their life, being performed by a champion''s pokemon made it more extravagant. People were like that, they would idolize anything that belonged to a great person. This didn''t mean that Tyranitar was no strong but the people already started to see him as an invincible force. Steven''s Metagross got up and returned back to Steven''s side. Steven "Are you ok?" Metagross nodded and shook off the pain it received. Steven realized that charging carelessly would cause an instant defeat, even though he didn''t go all out on this first attack, neither did Julian. If Julian wanted that chance he got, he could have easily dealt a very powerful dark move and could have defeated Metagross. Steven "Metagross, use sh Cannon" Metagross then positioned its two arms in front of its face and started to collect steel energy in between its arms. Julian "Counter with Dark Pulse" Metagross shot a powerful sh Cannon towards Tyranitar and Tyranitar countered with Dark Pulse, both attacks collided in mid-air and caused a huge explosion, the protection of the area rose up quickly and stopped the st from reaching the audience. The air got distorted and it came back to how it was, smoke filled the battlefield and blinded everyone''s vision. Julian "Tyranitar bring in the Sand Storm" As Tyranitar heard Julian, he activated his ability Sand Stream, which caused the surroundings to change, suddenly sands started to blow around the area covering the groundpletely, the smoke disappeared but it was meaningless because the Sand Storm affected Metagross''s vision, since Metagross''s body is pure steel it won''t be affected by the harsh blowing sand but its vision is still affected. Steven "Metagross, close your eyes and feel the changes in your surroundings" Since Psychic powers cannot detect the dark type pokemons, Metagross has to focus on the changes that happen in the surroundings but it is very difficult because of the Sand Storm. Julian "Dark Pulse" Tyranitar suddenly attacked with a powerful Dark Pulse, Metagross has no idea where the attack ising from as its eyes are closed and it cannot detect the dark energy. The Dark Pulse hits and sends Metagross crashing on the ground. Steven "What do I do?" Steven was in a pinch, he didn''t expect that he would be trapped in such a harsh situation, even Drake didn''t put him in such a bad ce, while Julian just did it with one move, Tyranitar''s ability and his typing was really working well here, Metagross cannot utilize its steel typing to attack Tyranitar if it cannot see and it can''t even dodge his Dark-type attacks. Julian just looked at Steven and shook his head, he realized why Drake said he was not ready to be a champion. Julian ''He thinks too much, even Ash would have put on a decent battle against me right now'' Unlike Steven who is thinking too much Ash doesn''t think at all which makes him very unpredictable and a decent opponent, whereas Steven, Julian could easily read him and put him in a difficult position very easily. Seeing that Steven isn''t able to think of anything to get out of this situation, Julian decided to end it here so he won''t embarrass himself too much. Julian "Tyranitar, finish it, use Crunch" Tyranitar roared and suddenly a massive jaw made of dark energy appeared around Metagross. Steven "Metagross move" Before it could even decide which direction to move the huge jaw came down and mmed shut on top of Metagross repeatedly. Metagross couldn''t handle it and fainted. The Sand Storm settled down revealing the fainted Metagross. "Did you just see that Steven Stone was taken down so easily, as expected of the strongest champion, even his new pokemons are monsters" The people around the battlefield took a deep breath in astonishment, people who were taking videos of the battle quickly posted them on their social media. Steven just stood there, he didn''t know what was wrong with his battling, his Metagross is as powerful as an Elite four''s pokemon but it still got handled down so easily by Julian''s Tyranitar. Julian "It''s not always about who''s pokemon is stronger, well its a known fact that a stronger pokemon would win against a weaker one but when ites to battling it''spletely different, you just need to stop thinking too much about the situation and focus on your pokemon and everything will be fine" Steven "What do you mean?" Julian "Just focus on your pokemon''s strong side, not the opponent''s weakness, let you pokemon focus on its opponent, your job is to guide it properly in a battle, you, on the other hand, is only thinking how you can defeat me and my pokemon''s weakness" Julian said and called back Tyranitar. Julian "Rest of it, you have to figure it out yourself". Julian said and turned around and walked towards the exit where he saw Daisy and Chloe waiting for him. Steven just stood there thinking what Julian said. Steven "Don''t think too much?" Steven doesn''t know that this experience will one day put him amongst one of the most powerful champions in history. Chapter 213 - Before The League Chloe "Its the first time I have seen you battle" Daisy "Me too" ?? Both of them were very excited about seeing Julian''s battle, they knew that their boyfriend is the strongest champion but they could never see him battle. Julian "You know that my battles are dangerous, I don''t want both of you near them, it''s good that Devon corporation as a powerful barrier stopping" Chloe "We understand" Daisy "I didn''t expect little Pupitar to have grown to such a big a powerful Tyranitar, I still remember how he used to hang on to your leg and not let go" Julian "Yes, he has grown powerful" Julian said and looked around, he saw people were taking his pictures with Chloe and Daisy in their phones. Julian "Come, let''s go and check out the fossils" Daisy "Yes, Let''s go" Julian, Daisy, and Chloe walked away. Mr. Stone walked towards his son and patted his shoulder. Mr. Stone "One day, you will battle him again but you still have a long way to go, Son" Steven "I understand dad, by the way why was he in your office" Mr. Stone "Oh that, we are going to sponsor him in theing league" Steven "Oh, great move Dad" Mr. Stone "Hahaha, of course, I have been in this business industry for quite a long time to know what to do and when" ______________________ Julian, Daisy, and Chloe came back to theb where their fossils are being revived, when they reached there they something glowing, it was not just one but two. The reviving machines were glowing from the inside, to be exact it was the fossils that are glowing. Julian "Looks like we are here at the right moment" Julian said and walked towards the Fossils, Daisy and Chloe followed him and stood in front of their respective fossil. Chloe in front of the w Fossil and Daisy in front of the Root Fossil. The scientists are busy taking down the data of this process and concentrated on their work. Soon the Fossils inside the devices started to change shape. Julian "Look they are being revived" Julian said. The fossils glow bright and covered the whole room soon revealing two small pokemon, one on each device. Anorith and Lileep, these two are pokemons that went extinct millions of years ago and now they are in front of them. Daisy "Wow, it looks so different from the pokemons found in today''s day and age" Daisy said and picked up Lileep, it has a purple body with circr patterns on the side of its head, pink petals areing out from the top and there seem to be two eyes between the pink petals. Anorith, on the other hand, has two sharp ws below its head, two big eyes on the sides and sharp spikes at the side of its body. Chloe "They don''t look cute but still have a very unique appearance to them" Julian "Indeed, I hope both of you will take good care of them" Chloe/Daisy "We will" Anorith and Lileep started to bond with Chloe and Daisy. Since they were the first person they saw when they came back to life, they felt that they are their mothers. Chloe and Daisy let them bond with their other pokemons so that they will be able to handle meeting Julian''s pokemonter. Since this was over they went back to their hotel. That day another news took over Hoenn once again, the battle between Julian and Steven got viral, got millions of views and got shared everywhere. People were going crazy over how powerful Julian''s Tyranitar looked. It even made into the news. Julian who is currently watching the TV sighed seeing the news on the TV right now. His ''Favorite'' news anchor Achara was once again on the screen. Anchor "People of Hoenn we have another news about our favorite champion of all time, Julian. It was said that he got challenged by the heir of the Devon corporation Steven Stone who was the previous year champion of the pokemon league but got defeated by the elite four Drake during his climb through the rankings. The Champion Julian excepted the challenge and they battled on the battlefield present at the Devon Corporation. The audience who were present in the seen said that the battle was very devastating and without the protection being present many would have definitely got hurt. Many spectators filmed the battle on their phone but one person had a professional camera with him and we were able to acquire the footage from him here take a look. Steven Stone used his most powerful Pokemon which is a very rare Shiny Metagross and the Champion Julian used a Tyranitar, this is the first pokemon that Champion Julian has released in public and manypetitors are already trying toe up with strategies to defeat Julian''s Tyranitar. As we all know Champion Julian has never lost a single battle and the only pokemon of his that ever fainted was his Kabutops which had a battle with Lance, the current champion of Kanto and Jhoto. The trainers who are participating in this year''s league only have one wish and that is to take down at least one of the champion Julian''s pokemon''s. I know, I know, he is not a champion anymore and many of our viewers were telling that in yesterdays forum discussion but speaking his name and not adding Champion in front of it seems very disrespectful to me, we all know that he didn''t lose his title, he just didn''t want it or he would still be the champion of Kanto" As Achara finished her news the program came to an end. Julian sighed. Julian "Well now at least the league will be more interesting, trainers are now training harder, so I might actually find some decent battles, here and there". Julian said as he looked at his two girlfriends whopletely ignored him and continued ying with their new pokemons. Julian ''I think telling them to catch knew pokemons was a bad idea'' Gengar "Gegegege" Gengarughed and patted Julian''s shoulder and gave him some hope that he is not alone. Julian "Gengar you really are a true partner" Gengar "Gegegegegegege". Chapter 225 - Mega Battle? Sterlin wants to go all out and even beyond his limit for this battle and he decided he would. Sterlin "Swampert use Water Fall" ?? Swampert raised its hands and roared, suddenly a huge amount of water start to umte above and came crashing down on Metagross and Absol. Julian "Metagross use Reflect" Metagross covered both him and Absol with a powerful Psychic shield which protected them from the iing Waterfall, they made it out of the Waterfall as it crashed on the ground and the whole battlefield got filled with water. Julian "Absol freeze the battlefield, use Icy Wind" Absol then released a freezing Icy Wind which started to freeze the water on the battlefield, ziken and Swampert are suddenly unable to maintain their bnce on the slippery Ice. Julian "Metagross, use sh Cannon on Swampert. Absol Psycho cut on ziken" Sterlin "ziken, counter it with Fire Punch, Swampert dodge and use Mud Bomb on Metagross" Absol sent a powerful single crescent psychic de towards ziken, Metagross shot a powerful sh Cannon at Swampert. ziken powered up its fist and covered it with zing mes and punched towards the iing Psycho Cut, Swampert moved by destroying the ice below its feet and moving to the side, the sh Cannon destroyed the Ice and sent shards of Ice everywhere and hit both Swampert and ziken, they didn''t expect an attack like that. The Ice shards hit the blind spots of both the pokemon and cause them to lose bnce, the slippery ice also didn''t help them much. It could clearly be seen that Metagross and Absol werepletely dominating from the start as they have higher ground while ziken and Swampert who are powerful physical attackers don''t have much to do. Swampert has some powerful special moves but they aren''t able to reach Metagross and Absol. Julian ''Maybe I was expecting too much from him'' Julian thought as he saw Sterlin struggling tomand his pokemon, he is too focused on Julian and what he will do than his own pokemon. Sterlin looked at the battlefield, his opponent and the pokemons belonging to him, he took a deep breath and realized that he was too focused on Julian. Sterlin "ziken, melt the Ice down" ziken then started to shot methrower causing all the ice on the battlefield to melt. Sterlin "Let''s go all out" Suddenly he shed something on his wrist which was hidden by a band, it is a mega bracelet. Seeing the mega bracelet on his hand Julian got surprised for a second. Sterlin "ziken let''s show them, Mega Evolve" As Sterlin said this, a Mega Stone which was hidden under the thick fur of ziken''s ankle got revealed, it started to shine brightly alongside with the keystone on Sterlin''s hand. Announcer "OH MY ARCEUS, Sterlin is Mega Evolving his ziken, this is the first mega evolution of the tournament" ziken soon started to change as the shape of its head started to change, fire on its arms started to grow crazy and run wild, soon it was revealed to the world, Mega ziken. Seeing the Mega pokemon crowd went wild, this is the first time a Mega pokemon battle is taking ce in the league and millions of people are watching on their TV. Julian ''Should I do it too?'' Sterlin "ziken, use High Jump Kick" ziken suddenly charged towards Metagross and jumped, its speed was faster than before. Julian "Metagross use Reflect" Metagross once again used Reflect and deflected ziken''s powerful High Jump Kick, zikennded back on its feet and started at Metagross and called him out. Seeing this Julian was surprised. Julian ''This ziken has some attitude'' Julian "Absol you take care of Swampert, let Metagross handle ziken" Absol jumped off Metagross and rushed towards Swampert. Sterlin "ziken attack Absol with Brick Break" To his surprise, ziken didn''t listen to him at all, it started angrily at Metagross. Julian ''Achieving Mega Evolution has made him lose control over his pokemon'' Julian thought and looked at Metagross. Julian "Metagross, Zen Headbutt. Absol Mega Horn" Both performed their attack respectively. Absol charged towards Swampert while using Mega Horn, Metagross covered his body with pulsing psychic powers and charged towards ziken. Sterlin "Swampert use Hammer Arm to block Absol. ziken, use Fire Punch" Swampert raised its arms and brought it crashing down on Absol, Absol swung his huge glowing horn at Swampert and the sh created the water on the ground fly everywhere as the ground below them crashed, Absol''s attack was more powerful and with the type advantage move he pushed Swampert back andnded the Mega Horn on its chest and sent it rolling on the ground. ziken on the other handpletely ignored Sterlin''smand and charged towards Metagross and used High Jump Kick again and this time it isn''t as lucky as before, Metagross just sted through Mega ziken and sent it flying across the battlefield and crashing on the ground. Julian "Your ziken is strong but it is too arrogant, just because it received power made it look down on you, as a trainer you should always keep that in mind always keep your pokemon in check" Julian said and shed his Keystone. Julian "Metagross Mega Evolve" Announcer "WHAT IS THIS? Even Julian has a Keystone, he is going to Mega Evolve his Metagross" The Mega Stone on Metagross''s arm started to shine and emit light, the light them started to fuse with the light emitted by Julian''s Keystone. Metagross then started to change, his two legs in the back fused together to form an even bigger one, his head shaped changed and soon the crowd was able to see Mega Metagross. The crowd went berserk, seeing two Mega Evolution in a single battle. Julian had no need to mega evolve Metagross but seeing how ziken acted he wanted to show it what true power is. Suddenly the whole aura in the battlefield changed, the pressure from Metagross caused the gravity around the battlefield to increase significantly. Mega ziken got up and looked at the monster in front of it and realized how week it really is in front of Metagross. Julian "Both of you, get this over with" Absol stood his ground and suddenly released a powerful dark aura alerting both ziken and Swampert, they realized that even Absol was holding back the whole time. Absol suddenly started to create a small ball of Dark pulsing energy which slowly started to grow, this is a self-created move by Absol, collecting a huge amount of energy at a single point and thenpressing it and adding more energy to it making the move even powerful. Julian still isn''t able toe up with a name for this move, for now only Absol is able to use it, his Tyranitar is slowly learning how to do it as well. Sensing the power behind this move Swampert backed down as it knew it was the target. Sterlin "Swampert, counter with full power Hyper Beam" Swampert knew it cannot escape so it decided to go all out. It started to collect a huge amount of energy for the most powerful Hyper Beam it could create. Metagross folded his hind arm on top of his head and two arms on the side and transform into its jet form, then it created a powerful pulsingyer of psychic energy and charged towards Mega ziken. Sterlin "ziken, Use Last Resort" ziken this time listened to Sterlin and collected a huge amount of energy in its body and then charged towards Mega Metagross. Absol released his attack, Swampert did the same as well, but the results were still the same, Absol''s new move ripped right through the Hyper Beam and hit Swampert, it didn''t stop there and carried Swampert with it and took it out of the battlefield. It was the same case with ziken and Metagross, Metagross is too powerful and with his jet form, his speed is faster than before. Metagross hit ziken and destroyed all the energy ziken collected and carried it together towards the wall behind Sterlin, where Swampert is going as well. Both Swampert and ziken got nted into the wall at the same time, ziken lost its mega form and fainted, Swampert also fainted. Referee "ziken and Swampert are unable to battle, Metagross and Absol wins, winner of this battle and the person to advance to the top 32 is Julian" It''s over. Chapter 226 - Black Stones Everyone went quiet, the moves that were just disyed were very powerful and it is a double KO, Absol''s move was even stranger, a move which starts off as a tiny ball then shot as a devastating beam of pure dark energy. Metagross''s attack was just pure raw power and speed, ziken didn''t even stand a chance against that charge. ?? Announcer "ITS A DOUBLE KO" The Announcer shouted on his mike as loud as he can, the crowd soon followed up as they cheered for Julian, people were taking pictures of Absol and Mega Metagross. Some had seen another version of Mega Metagross on the inte and now when Julian''s Mega Metagross got posted online people started topare the two form, just like the two different versions of Charizard''s Mega Evolution. Peoplepared their favorite forms, now at this exact moment the same thing is happening to Julian''s Mega Metagross, people have already started topare the two different forms. Julian "Your Swampert was good and kept its cool the whole battle but you should take more care of your ziken, it''s arrogant and sometimes arrogance might help in battle but not always" Saying so Julian called back his pokemons and left the battlefield. Outside the battlefield, Daisy and Chloe were waiting for him with their tiny pokemon by their side. Daisy "It was a good battle" Chloe "I don''t think so, your battle with Barbara seemed more fun than this one" Julian "It''s just a battle, it''s over, let it be" Chloe "So the top 32 will start the day after tomorrow?" Julian "Yes" Daisy "Who do you think you will battle against in the finals?" Julian "I don''t know, I haven''t seen others battle" Chloe "Let''s go I am hungry" Julian and Daisyughed and went to the restaurant that Daisy was talking about. _________________ Next day Julian decided to take a walk outside and check out some stuff selling in local stores. After going through the local market he came across an old man sitting on the footpath with some stones on a white cloth. It seemed like normal stones to others but for Julian, they were very useful, why? Because he could easily tell that these ck stones contained Mega Stones that are for dark type pokemons. He didn''t expect to see three stones and all of them have different dark type mega stones. He walked towards the old man and squatted down and looked at the three ck stones, as he touched them he could confirm that he is not wrong, these stones really have Mega Stones in them, even these stones seemed special. Julian "Mister? where did you find these stones?" Old Man "When I was young I traveled the world, I found these stones in a cave in Sinnoh, I don''t know what they are but I treasure them, sadly I need money to pay my wife''s medical bills and I have to sell them" Julian "How much do you want for all three of them?" Old Man "3000 Pokedors will do" Julian gave him 50000 Pokedors instead, this old man has no idea how much these costs, seeing Julian handing him 50000 Pokedors the old man got shocked. Old Man "Child this is too much money" Julian "Don''t worry mister, I think these stones cost more than what I am offering to you, just think that you are giving me a discount, and this money will help you pay for your wife''s medical bills so no need to think twice about it" Old Man "May Arceus look after you, child" Julian "By the way, where is this cave you found these stones" Old Man "I don''t know, I just stumbled into it, I have no idea how I got in and how I got out, it was one of the most mysterious things I have ever experienced in my life" Julian "I will be going then" Julian got up and left with the three ck stones, he now has to remove the outeryer to see what kind of mega stones are inside, these stones seem special as well, they are also emitting a dark aura. Julian ''I cannot wait to see what''s inside these'' Julian returned back to his room to extract the mega stones from inside. ____________________ Somewhere back in Kanto, Team Rocket''s brand new headquarters, inside a private room Giovanni is sitting and watching the TV, he is watching Julian''s battle of course. Giovanni "That fucking monster, I just hope he doesn''t foil my ns again, Mewtwo is nowhere to be seen and Team Gctic in Sinnoh is acting weird, I think I should send the new Admin of mine to Sinnoh to see how good she really is" Giovanni said and took out his phone and called someone. Giovanni "Come to my private room" Soon a woman with blond hair walked in, she is, of course, one of the previous head of the Shadows, Beta, her real name Ang, she was lucky enough to not encounter Julian. She looked at the TV and saw how Julian''s pokemon destroyed their opponent, she stuttered looking at it. Giovanni checked her out then nodded. Giovanni "You know why you are an admin in Team Rocket?" Ang "No Boss" Giovanni "Because you were able to tell that a disaster was about to rue and escaped from that monster" Giovanni said and pointed at the TV, Ang looked at the TV and remained silent. Giovanni "In my whole life I have never felt so much fear when he stared down into my eyes and warned me, but I cannot stop, my hunger for power is more than a fear installed in me" Giovanni paused and looked at her once again. Giovanni "As your first mission, you will go to Sinnoh, infiltrate Team Gctic and find out what they are up too" Ang "Yes boss" She left the room and left Giovanni all alone, he just kept staring at the screen. Giovanni "Monsters". Chapter 216 - Ever Grande Hoenn League Chloe "So who is your first opponent?" Julian "Someone named Travis, I don''t know much about him, let''s just hope he puts up a good fight" ?? Daisy "I don''t know about that, I hope you have fun" Julian "Hmm, Ok let''s go and check out those stores we saw outside, I know you two are waiting to run out of this building as soon as possible" Chloe "Hehe, I guess you know us too well" Julian "How couldn''t I" Soon they left the registration office as they were watched by many pokemon trainers and visitors with respect. Some of them felt bad for his first opponent Travis. Poor Travis he has no idea, he has be "famous" in just one day by bing Julian''s first opponent. The League will start the day after tomorrow and tomorrow will be the opening ceremony where the few chose trainers will be chosen to run holding the mes of Moltres and finally light the huge torch at the top of the tower in the main stadium which will indicate the start of the league. Charles Goodshow will be overlooking this ceremony. Julian had received a call from Goodshow to run with the torch but he rejected it. Since Goodshow couldn''t get Julian to do it, he chooses some other trainer named Tyson. Julian just spent his day with Chloe and Daisy until night fell. Next morning Julian woke up and looked outside the window to see fireworks go off, Daisy and Chloe also woke up and looked outside. Julian "Looks like the run for the torch is being held right now" Chloe "Do you want to go outside and take a look?" Julian "Na, let''s just watch it on the TV, I am toozy to go outside" Daisy "I knew you would say that" Soon Julian turned on the TV and checked what is happening, to his surprise something else is going on. Officer Jenny "Attention the me of Molters has been stolen, we have to dy the ceremony, we ask forgiveness for the inconvenience." Julian ''Ho, looks like those three are at it again'' Julian is, of course, thinking about Team Rocket, those three idiots arrive anywhere Ash goes and they followed him to the Ever Grande conference as well. Julian ''Those three are something special aren''t they, even after being humiliated, defeated and sent flying every time, they stille back, they are good at everything except stealing pokemon'' Chloe "What are you thinking? Are you nning to help?" Julian "Naa, Ash and his friends will take care of it, and even if they sessfully steal that torch, Charles has more Moltres me stored separately" Daisy "Then why are they going after the torch, they could just light up a new one" Julian "Well Charles is not an idiot, he knows if he ignores the thieves they wille back again and steal the torch again, instead of that he let the trainers and the thieves run around the city trying to get the mes. If they are able to catch the thieves they will use the stolen me if they don''t Charles will give the other one he has when the thieves are not expecting it" Chloe "So that old man is just fooling around?" Julian "Yes, and that is why I don''t give a damn about it" Daisy "Poor Ash, he has to run around the city to catch those thieves now" Julian "Let''s head out, the trainer would be gathering in the main stadium soon" Chloe/ Daisy "Ok" ____________________ Ash and his friends defeated team rocket easily and sent them flying but the result of it was the mes being extinguished, Charles, however, had an extra me just like Julian had said, it was then handed over to Tyson who began his run towards the Ever Grande stadium with the torch in his hand and his Meowth by his side. Julian is inside the stadium inside a VIP room with Daisy and Chloe as they look at the gathering of trainers around the stadium waiting for the torch to arrive. The red carpet leads directly towards the top of the stadium which holds the huge main torch of the league. Soon the wait was over and Tyson arrived with Ash and others, he then passed the torch to Ash and Ash ran towards the top and handed the torch over to Charles Goodshow. Charles lights up the torch and announced. Charles "Trainers from all around the world, this is the beginning of this year''s Ever Grande Hoenn League. I hope each and every trainer today in this stadium and the ones who are participating in this league battle with passion and fairness, trust you pokemons till the end and try to have the best battle you could possibly wish for. That is all I have to say about how trainers need to battle, now let''s talk about the rules. The league is separated into three parts, The Preliminaries, The Qualifying Rounds and The Final rounds In the Preliminaries, a trainer will be only using 1 pokemon per battle, out of 600 registered trainers only 256 trainers will advance to the Qualifying round. The Qualifying round ispletely different in the Hoenn league, a Trainer will use two pokemons at the same time, it could also be called a double battle, when both of the trainer''s pokemon fall they lose, trainer will have to win all three double battles to advance to the finals, only 32 trainers will then qualify to the finals. The Finals are simple sudden death battles, trainers will use four pokemon each in the top 32 and top 16, and further down from the quarterfinals trainers will be able to use six of their pokemon. Now that I have exined how the league rules are. Everybody, go back and train hard, tomorrow will be the start of the preliminaries"'' Charles ended his speech and the Trainer dispersed as they wait for tomorrows sun to rise in anticipation. Chapter 217 - Preliminaries Julian is near the venue where the Preliminaries is taking ce, to his surprise even Ash''s match is in Vige 1 and it is before his, so he decided to watch the battle. He is currently in a room filled withputers, it has the data of trainers stored in it, trainerse here to research about their opponent. ?? Julian had nothing to worry about his opponent but he still decided to see what his opponent is like. As he walked in trainers saw him and started to talk among themselves, they mostly talked about how strong he is and pitied his opponent. Soon he arrived in front of aputer and switched it on and entered his Venue number and match number, soon a screen popped up revealing two photos, it is of him and his opponent Travis. He seems to actually be a veteran pokemon trainer who has participated in the league twice and has reached the qualifiers twice in a row but to his bad luck both of the time, he got put against that one trainer who actually won the league conference. He couldn''t advance to the top 32 because of that. Julian ''Wow, his luck is bad'' Julian thought and scrolled down. Julian ''Travis''s main pokemon seems to be his Cacturne. He won most of his battle with it'' Julian scrolled down more and saw his profile, only is Tyranitar is disyed on it, they didn''t have information about his other pokemons, the gyms are not allowed to disclose trainer''s information, the trainers who have their pokemon revealed in the public are disyed here. Only Julian''s Tyranitar has made his reveal. Julian ''Should I use another pokemon or go with Tyranitar for this one, I think I will go with Tyranitar, at least he will be confident to take on my Tyranitar with his Cacturne''s type advantage.'' Julian thought and got up and walked outside, soon he heard the announcement that the Preliminaries has begun, Chloe and Daisy said they will meet him at the venue so he headed there. Once he reached there he saw Chloe and Daisy waving their hands at him. Julian "When did you arrive?" Daisy "Just now, we had lost of fun" Chloe "Ya, we went to a lot of stores, we even bought something for you and your pokemon" Julian "Great, let''s head in, it about to start, Ash''s battle will soon begin, I want to see how much he has improved" Daisy and Chloe nodded and soon they walked into the stadium, Julian had already asked for a VIP room for them to watch the battle. After two battles of the preliminaries, Ash''s battle is now going to take ce. Julian waits as he sees Ash walk into the stadium with Pikachu on his shoulder. Julian "Its about to begin" As Ash walked in his opponent Gilbert also walked in, he is a young boy who seems to be about 12-13 years of age. He is wearing a martial art''s uniform and a thin red bandanna on his forehead. He seems to be very determined to defeat his opponent and move on to the Qualification round. Referee "Trainers choose your Pokemon" Gilbert "Hitmonlee, let''s win this" Gilbert sent out his Hitmonlee, it seemed well trained and strong. Well, all 600 trainers in this league have gotten eight badges from the gyms around Hoenn, so they are strong. Gym leaders never go all out or use their main pokemon for gym battles or not many would be able to participate in the league. Ash looked at his opponent then at Pikachu. Ash "Pikachu let''s do it" Pikachu nodded and jumped into the battlefield and released an electric charge around his cheeks. Announcer "They have chosen their pokemon, Gilbert is going with his Ace Hitmonlee and Ash is going with Pikachu, let''s see in whose favor will this battle be" Referee "Both Trainers ready?" Ash/Gilbert "Yes" Referee "Begin" The referee waves the g in his hand andmences the battle. Gilbert "Hitmonlee, use Double Kick" Hitmonlee charges towards Pikachu and swings its legs and try to kick Pikachu. Ash "Pikachu dodge" Luckily Pikachu is much faster and easily dodges the double kick. Ash "No Thunderbolt" As soon as Pikachu dodges the second kick Ashmands, Pikachu at point-nk range release a powerful Thunderbolt which sends Hitmonlee flying through the air and crashing on the ground. Gilbert "HITMONLEE" His Hitmonlee has dealt a lot of damage, it struggles to get back to its feet Gilbert "Hitmonlee we can do this, let''s go Mega Kick" Ash "Pikachu let''s finish this, use Thunderbolt again" Before Hitmonlee could even reach Pikachu, Pikachu sent a powerful Thunderbolt whit hit Hitmonlee directly and sent it flying again, it crashed on the ground. Gilbert "Hitmonlee, get up" Hitmonlee struggled, its arms and legs are shaking, it finally got back to its fee but it suddenly falls down face first, knocked out. Seeing this the stadium bes silent for a few seconds and burst into cheers. Announcer "DID YOU SEE THAT, only two moves, Pikachu defeated Hitmonlee with just two Thunderbolts" Ash "Pikachu you were awesome" Ash runs towards Pikachu and hugs him. Not only the audience but Julian is also very surprised by the power behind that Thunderbolt, it was no way near his Electivire''s power but from thest time he saw Pikachu use that move it is way powerful this time. Julian "Hahahahaha, looks like he really improved a lot, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to win any league" Daisy "He really is impressive" Chloe "That kid has a lot of potentials, even I was not that strong when I was ten" Julian "Hmm, soon it will be my turn". Chapter 218 - Preliminaries (2) Julian "Soon it will be my turn" Julian said as he looked at the battlefield. ?? Chloe "Its the fifth match right?" Julian "Yes, right after this battle" He said as he saw new trainers entering the battlefield. Julian "I should go and get ready" He said and got off from his seat. Daisy "Go easy" Chloe "Don''t destroy the battlefield, others still need to battle on it" Julianughed awkwardly and left the room, while other''s girlfriends wish them best of luck, his girlfriends tell him to not do his best. He soon reached the waiting room where he is supposed to be, he heard that his battle will begin in 15 minutes as the 4th battle was already over, the Devon corporation wanted to stream all his battles, even the preliminaries, Julian didn''t mind so he waited for a while. Soon a man walked into the waiting room and greeted Julian. "Sir Julian, your battle is next, Devon corporation has already prepared all the things, you will be called in five minutes" Julian "Ok you can go now" Julian said and closed his eyes and started to calm his mind by meditating. Soon he started to hear the Announcer speak, he knew his queue hase, he got up from his seat and walked towards the battlefield''s door. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen this match may be the most anticipated match of the day, and all you have been waiting for as the previous champion of Kanto is participating in this years Hoenn league, starting anew with new pokemons he caught in Hoenn" All the people in the crowd started to shout Julian''s name. Announcer "Now let''s wee our first trainer, he has participated in Hoenn league twice and made it to the qualifying rounds both times, his Ace pokemon Cacturne is a powerful Grass/Dark type pokemon, please wee Travis" As the announcer finished introducing Travis, he walked in and waved his hand at the crowd but the crowd didn''t react at all they just started at this trainer who they have no clue about. Seeing no one reacting to him Travis felt dejected. Announcer "Ahhm, Now let''s wee our next trainer and I know everyone in the stadium knows who this trainer is, holding the most sensational record to even being held, remaining undefeated throughout his whole official matches, its nonother than JULIAANNNN" As the announcer called his name, Julian walked towards the gate which opened, revealing him to the audience outside, they started to scream and shout his name like crazy, his fans raised his banner high in the air, even Tyranitar made it in few of them. Seeing this reaction Julian remembered that moment when he had his first ever league battle, the excitement he felt and the desire to reach the peak. He felt that again as he heard his fans cheering for him. Julian ''Sometimes it''s not too bad and I now have to ept this, where ever I go people will be there who will cheer and love me, and I cannot always keep avoiding them'' Julian''s has to except that he cannot always be lowkey when he holds such a powerful status. He smiled at the audience and walked towards the battlefield and took his stance, he looked at his opponent and saw him dejected. Julian ''I somehow feel guilty for his state'' Julian thought. Julian "Your name is Travis right?" Travis "Yes" Julian "I hope you battle will all you have got" Hearing Julian the man who was going to eliminate him in his very first battle of the league cheering him on to give his all, he felt relieved. Travis ''This is really a champion, even when battling against a trainer like me he is very humble, I should not be dejected by proud that I am the first person to battle the Champion Julian'' Travis broke into tears and determination shed in his eyes. The Referee then walked in carrying two gs in his hand. Referee "As per the rules both trainer will use only one pokemon, the person who will lose will be eliminated from the league, I wish you all the best, now choose your pokemons" The Referee said and took a step back. Julian "Go Tyranitar" Julian sent out his Tyranitar. Announcer "Hooo, Julian has chosen his Tyranitar, and it looks even more intimidating than the rumors describe it to be" The crowd went wild as they saw the huge Tyranitar. Travis "Cacturne, let do this" Travis sent out his most powerful and trusted pokemon, his Cacturne. Announcer "As expected, Travis is going to send out his most powerful pokemon, from strategy wise Cacturne definitely has an advantage but that has never stopped Julian to gain a victory, let''s see if Travis and Cacturne can surprise us" To be honest even the announcer has no hopes for Travis but he still has to make the match sound as cool as possible because it''s his job. Referee "Trainers ready?" Travis "YES" Julian nods his head as well. Referee "Then let the battle begin" Travis "Cacturne use Needle Arm" Cacturne ran towards Tyranitar as its hand started to glow green and the spikes on it started to expand and became bigger. Cacturne then started to swing his arms at Tyranitar''s legs as it could not even hit his belly. Tyranitar just stood there looking at Cacturne. Then Julian suddenly remembered something very crucial, Tyranitar has been training directly under Snox to improve his defense, Tyranitar''s defense is not on par with Snox but it can still handle any normal type grass moves easily. Julian ''Shit I totally forgot about that, I should have not chosen Tyranitar'' Now Julian was concerned. When ites to battle Julian never went easy on cocky people but this Travis in front of his is just an innocent man who luck is trash and even his reputation of battling two of the conference champions were down the drain just because of his dog shit luck. Julian just felt bad for him. Julian [Tyranitar just go easy on this poor fellow] Hearing Julian''s message in his head Tyranitar nodded. Chapter 219 - Preliminaries (3) Julian [Tyranitar just go easy on it] Julian sent a telepathic message to Tyranitar, Tyranitar nodded and started at the Cacturne which kept attacking his legs with Needle Arms. ?? Tyranitar raised his hand and hit Cacturne with a normal swat and sent it flying back to Travis. Seeing this the whole stadium went silent, Tyranitar didn''t even use a move and sent Cacturne flying. Luckily Cacturne didn''t get hurt by that, it was just like Tyranitar punching a pillow. Travis "Cacturne use Energy Ball" Cacturne created a powerful Energy Ball and shot it towards Tyranitar. Tyranitar just stood there and sent out a methrower and it totally engulfed the Energy Ball and destroyed it. Julian didn''t even have to tell Tyranitar what to do in this battle. Tyranitar didn''t want to y around so heunched another methrower towards Cacturne. Travis "Cacturne dodge" Cacturne moved out of the way and escaped from the methrower but it was not over, Tyranitar moved his head and followed Cacturne''s direction and started to chase down Cacturne, Cacturne was able to maintain a safe distance from the mes but it wasn''t too lucky and finally got hit by the methrower and sent it flying. Cacturne fainted. Referee "Cacturne is unable to battle, the winner is Tyranitar, the trainer that advance to the qualifiers is Julian" Announcer "It''s over, Julian didn''t evenmand his Pokemon and he won" The audience burst into cheers. Julian returned Tyranitar back to his Pokeball and walked towards Travis. Julian "You tried your best, next time I am sure you will go past the qualification round" Julian said and shook his hand, he then walked away from the battlefield, since it is already over so he has no need to be here. As he got out, Chloe and Daisy met him outside and they went back to their room that they are assigned to. The qualification round will start in three days and Julian decides to give some mental training for his pokemons, they have done enough physical training now they need to train their mind. After leaving Daisy and Chloe behind, he drove into the forest that is at the outskirts of the conference. He brought out all seven of his pokemons and looked at them. Julian "Now, Its time for you guys to shine, all of you will get a chance to battle, there will be three double battles and one of you won''t be battling in it, I want all of you to give it your all, don''t underestimate the pokemon in front of you even if they are weaker than you." Julian exined his pokemons what they should do, it''s their first time in a huge league battle and they need to prepare mentally as well. Soon he started to train them with each and everyone being trained separately with different methods. Soon two days passed with all the training done, his pokemons are ready. Tomorrow is the day they will shine in front of the whole Hoenn.

Being in the top 32 means a trainer will have more fame and power, all the trainers at least want to enter the top 32 so they won''t be looked down by the masses. ?? Julian is currently sitting in front of aputer and check out his opponent for today''s double battle, his opponent seems to be a woman named Barbara, she seems to be a mix trainer just like him so he has no idea what pokemon she is going to use. Julian "Who should I choose for today''s double battle?" Julian thought for a while and finally decided, he is going with Sceptile and Flygon, they both are going to cover each other''s weakness unless they encounter an Ice-type but Julian still has ns for that. Julian "Let''s go, its already time, the Qualifiers has already begun" Yes, the battle for the Qualifiers has already begun and Julian''s battle is thest one of the day, he asked Chloe and Daisy to go forward and watch the battle while he checks on his opponents profile. Soon Julian arrived at stadium 2 of the five stadiums in the outer circle, this is where his battle is going to take ce, he soon arrived in the VIP room where he saw Daisy and Chloe sitting and watching the battle. Julian "How long has it been?" Chloe "It just began, but I can''t see that Ash''s match card anywhere" Julian "His battle must have been transferred into another stadium, meaning we won''t meet each other in battlefield soon" Daisy "Come, let''s watch, I was getting bored without you" Julian "Ok" Julian joined them and started to watch the battle. All the double battle he watched were actually good, the trainers were strong and one trainer even Mega Evolved his pokemon which got a huge cheer from the crowd, it was a Mega Aggron. Chloe "I didn''t expect to see a Mega Evolution so early in the league" Daisy "Well, so many trainers had gone crazy when it was announced and everyone wanted to get one so I am not surprised to find a trainer with a Mega Stone" Julian "That''s true, many trainers in the league might have Mega Stones and Keystones to mega evolve their pokemon" Julian, Chloe, and Daisy watched the battle one after another and soon Julian''s queue is up. Julian "Ok I will be going" Julian got up, kissed them and walked away. Daisy/Chloe "Don''t destroy the battlefield" Julian just sighed and smiled at them and went towards the waiting room. As his battle is thest one of the day in Stadium 2, workers of the Devon corporation are already on the move and setting up thing to broadcast his battle. As he is inside the waiting room and his eyes closed, he is clearing his mind so he can concentrate on the battle. Soon a manes in a informs him that the battle is about to start. Julian "I will be there" Julian says and sends the man away. As he hears the announcer start his announcement he gets up and walks towards an underground elevator which will automatically elevate him on the battlefield, he stands there and waits for his call. On the empty battlefield and the audience around it, everybody is silent as they wait of the trainers to appear on the battlefield. Announcer "Now, its time, the final battle of the day, I know everyone in this stadium is waiting for this battle for quite a long time, now without any further a dew let''s introduce our first trainer, she is a trainer who made into the top 32 of the previous Ever Grande conference, she has a reputation of having fierce battle with her opponents, all her pokemons are fierce and powerful, now please wee our first trainer, Barbara." As the announcer finished his announcement, the part of the stadium opened up and soon a woman with purple hair, purple dress, and purple lips, her eyes look fierce, just like the announcer described her to be. The crowd cheered as she appeared. Announcer "Now, Introducing, well, to be honest, this person needs no introduction, he is the one who is favored to win this years league in style and dominance, please wee, Julian" As the announcer finished his introduction Julian also rose up from the underground and looked around. The people in the audience went crazy as he arrived, they shout his names and the women in them asked him to marry them, of course, this pisses of Daisy and Chloe but they tolerate it as they know they are just fans. The Referee soon walks in and looks at Julian and Barbara. Referee "This battle will be a double battle, both trainers will use two pokemon at the same time when both pokemons of a trainer are unable to battle they lose and will be eliminated from the league" As the Referee went through the rules Julian started at his opponent, she seems to be not nervous at all but from the inside, she is screaming, forpletely two different reasons, first is that she is currently standing in front of her idol and is going to have a battle with him, this is her dream and it ising true. Second, she is crushing her bad luck that she has to face Julian before the top 32 even began. A trainer will be going home even if they lose a single battle and Barbara knows she has no chance. Well, at least she is being sent home by her Idol so she is a little happy inside. Julian was getting confused by seeing Barbara as he could not pinpoint what Barbara was thinking, just a second ago he felt that she is nervous, her mood changed and she became happy, then she became mad, then she became happy. Since he could not tell what is going through her mind he decided to ignore her. Julian ''Well, she might at least put up a decent battle''. Chapter 221 - Qualifiers (2) The Referee looked at Julian then Barbara. Referee "You may now choose your pokemon" ?? As Referee said so, Julian took out two pokeballs and tossed it up in the air. Soon Sceptile and Flygon entered the battlefield and released their power which covered the whole battlefield, seeing the two magnificent pokemons of Julian, the crowd started to cheer even more. Announcer "Julian has revealed two more of his pokemon, one is a Shiny Sceptile and other is a Flygon, both of them seem very powerful, let''s see what Barbara has to counter these monsters" Barbara took a deep breath and looked at Julian. Barbara ''I have to give it my all, I cannot afford to disappoint him'' Barbara thought and tossed two pokeballs of her own as well, two pokemons were released from them, Julian got surprised seeing these pokemon as they are not from Hoenn, one is a Drapion and the other is Abomasnow, one is a Poison/Dark type and the other is a Grass/Ice type. Julian ''She chose a really great match up'' Julian thought. Drapion could take on Sceptile and Abomasnow has an advantage over both of his pokemon, especially Flygon as he is 4x weak to Ice-type moves. Announcer "It seems the pokemons Barbara is using are from Sinnoh region, and they have an advantage over Julian''s pokemon" Referee "Are both trainer''s ready?" Barbara "Yes" Julian also nodded his head and indicated that he is ready. Referee "Then let the battle begin" As soon as the referee waved the gs in his hand, Barbara made a move. Barbara "Drapion, use Toxic spikes on Sceptile. Abomasnow, use Ice Beam on Flygon" Julian "Flygon fly up and use Air Cutter on the Toxic Spikes, Sceptile X-Scissors on Abomasnow" Drapion sent numerous Toxic Spikes towards Sceptile and Abomasnow attacked Flygon with a powerful Ice Beam. Flygon flew up in the air and dodged the Ice Beam and sent multiple Air Cutters and destroyed the Toxic Spikes, Sceptile used Agility and increased his speed and charged towards Abomasnow, his des glowed as he used X-Scissor on Abomasnow. Barbara "Abomasnow use Protect, Drapion aim at Sceptile use Toxic Spikes" Abomasnow put up a shield of energy in front of it and protected itself from the X-Scissors, Drapion sent multiple Toxic Spikes at Sceptile. As Sceptile hit the shield created by Abomasnow, he shattered it but the power behind his attack was lost so he has to back off. Flygon, on the other hand, protected Sceptile from the Toxic Spike by destroying it with Air Cutter. Sceptile back away easily and used Agility once again, Flygon maintained a safe distance and protected Sceptile from behind. Julian ''She is quite a skilled trainer, she could have easily been in the top 16 or even higher'' Julian though. Julian "Sceptile, use Energy Ball on both of them" As Julian said this Sceptile created multiple Energy Balls, they circled around him with extreme speed creating a powerful wind force around him. Soon heunched them with full power, the speed of these Energy Balls are 3 times a normal one so, Drapion and Abomasnow won''t be able to dodge them and have to take it head-on. Barbara quickly made a move, she knows even of the Energy Balls are not that effective against her pokemons but taking them head-on is sheer stupidity. Barbara "Both of you, use Protect" Both Drapion and Abomasnow made an energy shield in front of them and braced themselves. The Energy Ball starts to hit the shields at a rapid pace, Drapion and Abomasnow are having a hard time keeping the Protect Shield on, soon cracks start to appear on it. Abomasnow''s Protect is already showing signs of shattering as it has already used Protect once. And it happened, The Energy Balls shattered the Protect Shield and started to hit Abomasnow with sheer force. Feeling Energy Ball after Energy Ball hitting the same spot, Abomasnow lost its footing and was sent flying back, the speed of the Energy Balls really made a huge impact on the damage and the continuous explosion created a thick smoke on the battlefield which caused everyone''s vision to go blind. Drapion''s Protect shield finally shattered and only one Energy Ball hit it, it didn''t cause much damage, it sighed seeing there was no more Energy Ball, even it could not take on multiple Energy Balls that are shooting at it like bullets. Suddenly it felt danger but it was toote. Julian "Now" As soon as Julian said this, Flygon appeared right in front of Drapion right from the smoke and opened his mouth tounch a powerful Dragon Pulse right on Drapion''s face. Being hit by a powerful Dragon Pulse right on its face, Drapion was sent flying through the smoke and crashed on the ground. Barbara couldn''t see anything because of all the smoke created by the explosion of the Energy Balls. Seeing her Drapion and Abomasnow being sent flying out of the smoke made her really tense. Barbara ''Even though I have the advantage I still cannot go against him head-on, those moves are too powerful'' Soon the smoke got cleared and everyone could see the state of the battlefield, there are miniature cracks on the ground, Drapion and Abomasnow seem to be injured while Flygon and Sceptile are fine, with no scratches on them. Barbara "Drapion, Abomasnow can you continue" Hearing her, both her pokemon got up after struggling a little. Barbara ''I cannot be on defense, it would just give him more chance to hit us''. She thought. Barbara "Abomasnow, continue attacking Flygon with Ice Beam don''t let go out of your sight. Drapion get closer to Sceptile, use Poison Fang on it" As they heard Barbara, Abomasnow collected arge amount of power andunched it at Flygon, Drapion charged towards Sceptile as its outer fangs glowed purple. Julian "Flygon, fly around. Sceptile, let it get closer" Flygon started to move around and dodge the continues Ice Beam which is right behind his back following him everywhere he flies. Drapion came closer to Sceptile and tried to bite down on Sceptile but Sceptile moved away and dodged it and used Agility again to increase his speed. Barbara "Drapion try to get hold of Sceptile" Drapion started to swing its massive ws and the w behind its tail at Sceptile to catch him, Sceptile keeps dodging them and using Agility to increase his speed. Barbara''s pokemon are getting tired by the continuous attacks they are using but none of them arending on the opponent. Julian "Let''s finish this". Chapter 222 - Qualifiers (3) Julian "Let''s finish this, Flygon fly towards Drapion" Flygon listened to Julian and flew towards Drapion by taking a sharp turn in the air causing Abomasnow to lose its footing as it tried to follow Flygon. ?? Drapion who is trying to grab Sceptile is getting tired, no matter how hard it tried Sceptile is too fast for it to grab on. Julian "Sceptile Dual Chop" As Julian said this, Sceptile bent down and dodged the right swing from Drapion and then targeted its legs, his hand glows blue and he went in straight to Drapion''s legs, two powerful Dragon Chops, one targeting each of its front legs caused Drapion to lose bnce and fall face first on the ground. Julian "Flygon, use Earthquake, Sceptile jump on Flygon" Flygon shot towards the ground as his legs started to glow brown, Sceptile jumped andnded on the back of Flygon and Flygonnded on the ground, as he did, he sent tremors on the ground causing the whole battlefield to rumble, Drapion couldn''t take this Earthquake and get severely injured and gets knocked out. Abomasnow also got hurt and lost its bnce and fell on the ground. Julian "Now X-Scissor" Flygon flew up in the air and carried Sceptile, Sceptile the jumped off from Flygon and fell towards Abomasnow as his two des glow. He uses X-Scissor and falls directly on Abomasnow and nts it deeper into the ground. Abomasnow faints as well. Sceptile gets back on the ground along with Flygon, they have won. The whole stadium is in awe seeing the teamwork of Sceptile and Flygon, they couldn''t believe what they just saw. Referee "Drapion and Abomasnow are unable to battle, Sceptile and Flygon wins, the trainer who advances is Julian" Announcer "ITS OVER, what a battle that was, such grace and power behind each move, really remarkable, both trainers did their best but atst Julian still remains undefeated." The crowd burst into cheers. Julian also had fun during this battle, he didn''t expect Barbara to perform so well against him, even though she wasn''t able tond any hit, she still countered many of his moves. Julian "You both did great" Julian said and called back his pokemons, he then walked towards Barbara and looked at her. Barbara seemed down as she couldn''t put up a good battle for her idol, then she suddenly noticed Julian approaching her. She panicked and didn''t know what to do, then she noticed him extending his hand for a handshake, she froze. She put up the courage and shook his hand. Julian "You are really a good trainer, you came up with good counters, keep doing what you are doing and you will be much stronger" Julian said and walked away. Barbara stared at her hand and recalled the words Julian said to her just now, she then looked up and saw him exiting the stadium. Barbara ''I promise I will be strong and I hope I can battle you someday again'' _________________________ Julian walked out of the stadium and saw many people around him looking at him and calling out his name, few news reporters rushed towards him and started to ask questions. News Reporters "Sir Julian, do you n to battle the elite four after you win the league?" Julian "I don''t know, I haven''t decided yet, maybe I might just a request for an exhibition match from them" News Reporters "Sir don''t you want to be the champion of Hoenn?" Julian "No, I don''t think I am the right person to be a champion, the champion you have right now is a responsible and capable champion, I don''t want to take it away" News Reporters "Sir, why did you relinquish your title of the champion of Kanto" Julian "As I said before, I really don''t fit the role of a champion and I am still young to be stuck in a single region, I want to travel around the world and explorends that have never been explored, find new pokemons, that''s what I want and that''s what I will do" Julian "Ok, I will take my leave then" Julian said and walked away as he found Daisy and Chloe waiting for him, the news reporters tried to ask him more questions but he kindly rejected them. Once they were all alone Julian sighed. Julian "Every day that passes makes me sadder" Chloe "Me too, I feel like the two months we spent together went by in a jiffy" Daisy "I also feel the same, but we cannot run from it" Julian "Well, when both of you are getting a chance of a lifetime how can I take that away, I will always wish for both of your well beings" Chloe "Ok, enough melodrama, you have a league to win and prove the world that you haven''t been rusting around" Julian "I guess, Ok let''s go back, my next battle will be the day after tomorrow" They left to the room that was assigned to them, the day came to an end as the sun set down, Julian''s journey in Hoenn is slowlying to an end. Chapter 223 - Qualifiers (4) Julian''s second match in the qualifiers was against a man named Mathew who trained only fire type pokemons, he had a Magmortar and a Rapidash in his double battle team. Julian used Milotic and Gardevoir, a team of powerful Special defense and Special attack, he defeated Mathew in four minutes as Gardevoir delivered the final blow with Future Sight on them. ?? And advancing to the next round of the Qualifiers. Julian is once again back at the building where he could see his opponent''s information. He sat down in front of aputer as the others who are present in the building surround him and looked at his screen, many are always interested in finding out who Julian''s next opponent is, some talked with excitement as they stood behind him. Julian had decided to get used to this so he didn''t say anything, he logged in and checked his next opponent. It seems to be a young man named Sterlin, he is 18 years old just like Julian, he is a mix trainer and his ace seems to be Swampert, his other pokemons that are known are king, Exploud and Hariyama, he has only shown these four pokemons. Julian doesn''t know what other pokemon he has, and he didn''t care. Julian had already decided to use Absol and Metagross in this battle, let his opponent decide which pokemon he is going to use to battle Julian. Since he has gathered the needed information Julian decided to leave as his battle is in two hours, just like always Daisy and Chloe are in one of the VIP room watching the battles. As Julian walked into the VIP room Chloe and Daisy weed him. Daisy "Look Ash is about to battle next" Julian got surprised, he didn''t expect Ash''s battle to be in the same stadium as well. Julian "Let''s see how his other pokemons are doing" Julian said and sat down between Daisy and Chloe. On the battlefield, robots were done cleaning up the battlefield properly and the signal for the next battle to begin is given. Announcer "Now, its time for another exciting battle, it is between Ash from Pallet Town a true underdog, he has swept through the battles he had till now very easily, and rk he has earned the nickname called ''The conductor'', he has a very unique style of Pokemon battling, he acts as a conductor and conducts his pokemons in a battle" The announcer paused and took a deep breath. Announcer "Now let''s wee them, everyone here is Ash Ketchum" Ash then came into the battlefield from underground, people started to cheer for him. Announcer "Herees rk" rk also entered the battlefield and looked at Ash, he held a conducting baton in his hand. The referee soon walked in and exined the rules of the battle. Ash and rk nodded as they agreed to the rules. Referee "Choose your pokemons" Ash "Sceptile, liee out" Ash sent out his Sceptile and lie. Julian ''Hmm, his Treecko has already evolved into Sceptile, his progress is faster than in the anime, his Sceptile also looks strong, as for lie its the first time I have seen one in real, it seems to be strong as well'' rk "Excellent, Charizard and Quva lets win this" rk sent out his Charizard and Quva. Ash didn''t seem to care much even though both his pokemons are in a clear disadvantage against his opponent''s pokemon. Ash "Sceptile, lie, let''s show them how powerful you two are" Referee "Then, let the battle begin" rk "Charizard, Heat Wave. Quva, me Wheel" rk called out his moves and started to move around his baton. Ash "lie, use Rollout to counter me Wheel. Sceptile, use Razor Wind to counter Charizard''s Heat Wave" As Ash said lie charged towards Quva using Rollout, Sceptile sent multiple Razor Winds which passed through the Head Wave and directly hit Charizard, lie and Quva shed with each other and canceled each other''s move, as lie is covered with Rock energy the mes didn''t affect it. Ash "lie once again, Rollout" Ash asked lie to continue attacking with Rollout as the more a Rollout is used the powerful it bes. A very devastating move. rk "Quva once again, me Wheel. Charizard used Wing Attack on Sceptile" Julian just watched the battle, he already knew Ash is going to win, his battling right now seemed much refined and he was clearly trying to power up lie to give the final blow, Sceptile is just there as a curtain to cover the main threat of his team, Sceptile seems strong and anyone would want to eliminate the stronger one and take care of the weaker er. Ash "Sceptile, let ite closer than use Leaf de" lie and Quva collided and this time lie clearly had the advantage as more power is behind the attack right now. Quva is sent rolling on the ground. rk didn''t expect his Quva to be sent back in exchange so early in the battle, he cannot call back Charizard back right now as it may leave it vulnerable to Sceptile''s attack. Charizard charged towards Sceptile as its wings glowed, Sceptile waited as the des on its arms grew longer and covered by energy. As Charizard was about to make contact, Sceptile suddenly jumped up, did a somersault andnded a powerful Leaf de directly on Charizard''s head, causing Charizard to lose its flight and came crashing on the ground. Ash "lie, now" As Ash said this, lie suddenly changed its target and headed towards Charizard using Rollout, this time the power behind it is 2x times from the previous one. rk "Quva quick, assist Charizard" Ash "Sceptile block Quva and use Leech Seed" Sceptile suddenly sent out multiple Bullet Seeds at Quva and stopping it on its track, with those Bullet seeds was one hidden Leech Seed which got stuck to Quva and tied it up and started to slowly suck its energy. lie crashed onto Charizard which was trying to get back to its feet, suddenly being hit by a powerful Rollout, it sent Charizard through and out of the battlefield as it fainted. Ash "lie, now its Quva" lie then charged towards the tied up Quva using Rollout, there is no way in hell Quiliva can survive this attack as it is 2x times more powerful than the one which Charizard got hit. Julian "It''s over" As Julian said this, lie hit Quva and also sent it out of the battlefield. Referee "Charizard and Quva are unable to battle Sceptile and lie wins, the winner and the one to head to the Top 32 is Ash Ketchum" As the referee announced the results the audience burst into cheers as they loved this battle. Announcer "Ash Ketchum from Pallet town advances to the Finals, let''s give him a round of apuse" Julian just smiled seeing this. Daisy "He really seems very different from when Ist saw him" Chloe "I didn''t expect him to battle like that" Julian "Let''s just say he has be a lot stronger, maybe he might even battle me in the final round". Chapter 224 - Qualifiers (5) Julian''s battle is about to start and he needs to go to the waiting room. Chloe "After this, we should go to a restaurant I am very hungry" ?? Julian "Sure" Daisy "I saw a nice ce let''s go there" Julian "Let me finish my battle first" After receiving their good luck Julian walked out of the room and headed towards the waiting room, as he entered there he saw Ash and his friends talking. Brock noticed Julian enter and called him. Brock "Julian over here" Julian walked towards them. Ash "Julian did you see my battle? what do you think" Julian "You did good" Max "Sir Julian, your battle is next right?" Julian "Yes" Ash "Guys let''s watch the battle and then go to our room" Brock "Hmm, then let''s do that" May "All the best Sir Julian" They walked out of the waiting room and left him alone. Julian sat on a chair and closed his eyes so that he can clear his mind as usual before he goes out to battle. After waiting for a while a man soon came in to inform him that his match is about to start, Julian opened his eyes and walked towards the underground elevator which will directly take him to the battlefield. Outside on the battlefield people were getting restless as they wait for Julian''s arrival, every battle of his is a sight to be seen and people are on their edges. The announcer got the ok to being the announcement and he soon began with the introduction. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen, its time of the main event, the one that you all have been waiting for, the battle between trainer Sterlin and Julian, an epic conclusion to the qualifiers, now enough talking from my side and get ready for the action" Announcer "Our first trainer is Sterlin, he has been defeating his opponents under a minute in every battle, he is being called the dark horse of this year''s Ever Grade Conference, some even say that he might defeat Julian and im the title for the strongest trainer, till now he has remained undefeated till now but will it continue, let''s wee Sterlin" As the announcer finished the introduction a man soon entered the battlefield, he has dark blue hair and is quite tall as well. People cheered for him as they have seen him battle, he is really a powerful trainer, some pitied him because he is going to be eliminated before he could even reach the top 32. Announcer "Now let''s wee our next trainer, I need not even give an introduction for this man, please wee Julian" Julian also arrived on the battlefield and people cheered for him as well but louder. He looked at his opponent. Julian ''He seems promising'' Julian though and looked at him. Sterlin, on the other hand, is a little tense, even though he has remained undefeated till now and have defeated his opponent faster than Julian, he doesn''t know what Julian holds, he had spent a whole day studying Julian''s pokemon but he only noticed one thing, his pokemon were not trying at all, they were just casually using moves to destroy their opponent. Sterlin ''I just have to give it my all'' The referee soon walks in and looks at both the trainers and exin the rules, after getting confirmation from both Julian and Sterlin he moves on. Referee "You may choose your pokemon" Julian "Metagross and Absol you are up" Julian sent out Metagross and Absol, they have battled together with each other so they easily coordinate with each other. Sterlin looks at the two pokemon Julian sent in and decided to bring out his best as well. Sterlin "Swampert, ziken, let''s go" Sterlin sends out his best pokemons for the battle. Referee "Let the battle begin" As the referee waves the gs and indicates the start of the battle, Sterlin makes his move. Sterlin "ziken use Fire Punch on Metagross, Swampert use Hammer Arm on Absol" Both of his pokemons then rushed towards Metagross and Absol. Julian "Absol hop on Metagross. Metagross go up" Absol jumped on Metagross and Metagross went up high and got out of ziken''s and Swampert''s range. Sterlin "No you don''t ziken go after them" ziken ran and jumped, its speed and power behind its legs helped it to get below Metagross and Absol. Julian "Metagross use Psychic" As ziken is about to get close to them, Metagross sent a powerful Psychic st towards ziken which sted ziken and sent it back to the ground, ziken crashed on the ground and smoke rose up. Julian "Absol use Psycho Cut" Absol then started to shoot multiple crescent-shaped des made of psychic energy, it shot towards ziken with full speed. Sterlin "Swampert, use Protect" Swampert got in front of ziken and used Protect and protected ziken from getting severely injured. Sterlin realized that it''s not going to be easy for him, he has to put more effort if he really wants to hit Julian''s pokemon. Chapter 225 - Mega Battle? Sterlin wants to go all out and even beyond his limit for this battle and he decided he would. Sterlin "Swampert use Water Fall" ?? Swampert raised its hands and roared, suddenly a huge amount of water start to umte above and came crashing down on Metagross and Absol. Julian "Metagross use Reflect" Metagross covered both him and Absol with a powerful Psychic shield which protected them from the iing Waterfall, they made it out of the Waterfall as it crashed on the ground and the whole battlefield got filled with water. Julian "Absol freeze the battlefield, use Icy Wind" Absol then released a freezing Icy Wind which started to freeze the water on the battlefield, ziken and Swampert are suddenly unable to maintain their bnce on the slippery Ice. Julian "Metagross, use sh Cannon on Swampert. Absol Psycho cut on ziken" Sterlin "ziken, counter it with Fire Punch, Swampert dodge and use Mud Bomb on Metagross" Absol sent a powerful single crescent psychic de towards ziken, Metagross shot a powerful sh Cannon at Swampert. ziken powered up its fist and covered it with zing mes and punched towards the iing Psycho Cut, Swampert moved by destroying the ice below its feet and moving to the side, the sh Cannon destroyed the Ice and sent shards of Ice everywhere and hit both Swampert and ziken, they didn''t expect an attack like that. The Ice shards hit the blind spots of both the pokemon and cause them to lose bnce, the slippery ice also didn''t help them much. It could clearly be seen that Metagross and Absol werepletely dominating from the start as they have higher ground while ziken and Swampert who are powerful physical attackers don''t have much to do. Swampert has some powerful special moves but they aren''t able to reach Metagross and Absol. Julian ''Maybe I was expecting too much from him'' Julian thought as he saw Sterlin struggling tomand his pokemon, he is too focused on Julian and what he will do than his own pokemon. Sterlin looked at the battlefield, his opponent and the pokemons belonging to him, he took a deep breath and realized that he was too focused on Julian. Sterlin "ziken, melt the Ice down" ziken then started to shot methrower causing all the ice on the battlefield to melt. Sterlin "Let''s go all out" Suddenly he shed something on his wrist which was hidden by a band, it is a mega bracelet. Seeing the mega bracelet on his hand Julian got surprised for a second. Sterlin "ziken let''s show them, Mega Evolve" As Sterlin said this, a Mega Stone which was hidden under the thick fur of ziken''s ankle got revealed, it started to shine brightly alongside with the keystone on Sterlin''s hand. Announcer "OH MY ARCEUS, Sterlin is Mega Evolving his ziken, this is the first mega evolution of the tournament" ziken soon started to change as the shape of its head started to change, fire on its arms started to grow crazy and run wild, soon it was revealed to the world, Mega ziken. Seeing the Mega pokemon crowd went wild, this is the first time a Mega pokemon battle is taking ce in the league and millions of people are watching on their TV. Julian ''Should I do it too?'' Sterlin "ziken, use High Jump Kick" ziken suddenly charged towards Metagross and jumped, its speed was faster than before. Julian "Metagross use Reflect" Metagross once again used Reflect and deflected ziken''s powerful High Jump Kick, zikennded back on its feet and started at Metagross and called him out. Seeing this Julian was surprised. Julian ''This ziken has some attitude'' Julian "Absol you take care of Swampert, let Metagross handle ziken" Absol jumped off Metagross and rushed towards Swampert. Sterlin "ziken attack Absol with Brick Break" To his surprise, ziken didn''t listen to him at all, it started angrily at Metagross. Julian ''Achieving Mega Evolution has made him lose control over his pokemon'' Julian thought and looked at Metagross. Julian "Metagross, Zen Headbutt. Absol Mega Horn" Both performed their attack respectively. Absol charged towards Swampert while using Mega Horn, Metagross covered his body with pulsing psychic powers and charged towards ziken. Sterlin "Swampert use Hammer Arm to block Absol. ziken, use Fire Punch" Swampert raised its arms and brought it crashing down on Absol, Absol swung his huge glowing horn at Swampert and the sh created the water on the ground fly everywhere as the ground below them crashed, Absol''s attack was more powerful and with the type advantage move he pushed Swampert back andnded the Mega Horn on its chest and sent it rolling on the ground. ziken on the other handpletely ignored Sterlin''smand and charged towards Metagross and used High Jump Kick again and this time it isn''t as lucky as before, Metagross just sted through Mega ziken and sent it flying across the battlefield and crashing on the ground. Julian "Your ziken is strong but it is too arrogant, just because it received power made it look down on you, as a trainer you should always keep that in mind always keep your pokemon in check" Julian said and shed his Keystone. Julian "Metagross Mega Evolve" Announcer "WHAT IS THIS? Even Julian has a Keystone, he is going to Mega Evolve his Metagross" The Mega Stone on Metagross''s arm started to shine and emit light, the light them started to fuse with the light emitted by Julian''s Keystone. Metagross then started to change, his two legs in the back fused together to form an even bigger one, his head shaped changed and soon the crowd was able to see Mega Metagross. The crowd went berserk, seeing two Mega Evolution in a single battle. Julian had no need to mega evolve Metagross but seeing how ziken acted he wanted to show it what true power is. Suddenly the whole aura in the battlefield changed, the pressure from Metagross caused the gravity around the battlefield to increase significantly. Mega ziken got up and looked at the monster in front of it and realized how week it really is in front of Metagross. Julian "Both of you, get this over with" Absol stood his ground and suddenly released a powerful dark aura alerting both ziken and Swampert, they realized that even Absol was holding back the whole time. Absol suddenly started to create a small ball of Dark pulsing energy which slowly started to grow, this is a self-created move by Absol, collecting a huge amount of energy at a single point and thenpressing it and adding more energy to it making the move even powerful. Julian still isn''t able toe up with a name for this move, for now only Absol is able to use it, his Tyranitar is slowly learning how to do it as well. Sensing the power behind this move Swampert backed down as it knew it was the target. Sterlin "Swampert, counter with full power Hyper Beam" Swampert knew it cannot escape so it decided to go all out. It started to collect a huge amount of energy for the most powerful Hyper Beam it could create. Metagross folded his hind arm on top of his head and two arms on the side and transform into its jet form, then it created a powerful pulsingyer of psychic energy and charged towards Mega ziken. Sterlin "ziken, Use Last Resort" ziken this time listened to Sterlin and collected a huge amount of energy in its body and then charged towards Mega Metagross. Absol released his attack, Swampert did the same as well, but the results were still the same, Absol''s new move ripped right through the Hyper Beam and hit Swampert, it didn''t stop there and carried Swampert with it and took it out of the battlefield. It was the same case with ziken and Metagross, Metagross is too powerful and with his jet form, his speed is faster than before. Metagross hit ziken and destroyed all the energy ziken collected and carried it together towards the wall behind Sterlin, where Swampert is going as well. Both Swampert and ziken got nted into the wall at the same time, ziken lost its mega form and fainted, Swampert also fainted. Referee "ziken and Swampert are unable to battle, Metagross and Absol wins, winner of this battle and the person to advance to the top 32 is Julian" It''s over. Chapter 226 - Black Stones Everyone went quiet, the moves that were just disyed were very powerful and it is a double KO, Absol''s move was even stranger, a move which starts off as a tiny ball then shot as a devastating beam of pure dark energy. Metagross''s attack was just pure raw power and speed, ziken didn''t even stand a chance against that charge. ?? Announcer "ITS A DOUBLE KO" The Announcer shouted on his mike as loud as he can, the crowd soon followed up as they cheered for Julian, people were taking pictures of Absol and Mega Metagross. Some had seen another version of Mega Metagross on the inte and now when Julian''s Mega Metagross got posted online people started topare the two form, just like the two different versions of Charizard''s Mega Evolution. Peoplepared their favorite forms, now at this exact moment the same thing is happening to Julian''s Mega Metagross, people have already started topare the two different forms. Julian "Your Swampert was good and kept its cool the whole battle but you should take more care of your ziken, it''s arrogant and sometimes arrogance might help in battle but not always" Saying so Julian called back his pokemons and left the battlefield. Outside the battlefield, Daisy and Chloe were waiting for him with their tiny pokemon by their side. Daisy "It was a good battle" Chloe "I don''t think so, your battle with Barbara seemed more fun than this one" Julian "It''s just a battle, it''s over, let it be" Chloe "So the top 32 will start the day after tomorrow?" Julian "Yes" Daisy "Who do you think you will battle against in the finals?" Julian "I don''t know, I haven''t seen others battle" Chloe "Let''s go I am hungry" Julian and Daisyughed and went to the restaurant that Daisy was talking about. _________________ Next day Julian decided to take a walk outside and check out some stuff selling in local stores. After going through the local market he came across an old man sitting on the footpath with some stones on a white cloth. It seemed like normal stones to others but for Julian, they were very useful, why? Because he could easily tell that these ck stones contained Mega Stones that are for dark type pokemons. He didn''t expect to see three stones and all of them have different dark type mega stones. He walked towards the old man and squatted down and looked at the three ck stones, as he touched them he could confirm that he is not wrong, these stones really have Mega Stones in them, even these stones seemed special. Julian "Mister? where did you find these stones?" Old Man "When I was young I traveled the world, I found these stones in a cave in Sinnoh, I don''t know what they are but I treasure them, sadly I need money to pay my wife''s medical bills and I have to sell them" Julian "How much do you want for all three of them?" Old Man "3000 Pokedors will do" Julian gave him 50000 Pokedors instead, this old man has no idea how much these costs, seeing Julian handing him 50000 Pokedors the old man got shocked. Old Man "Child this is too much money" Julian "Don''t worry mister, I think these stones cost more than what I am offering to you, just think that you are giving me a discount, and this money will help you pay for your wife''s medical bills so no need to think twice about it" Old Man "May Arceus look after you, child" Julian "By the way, where is this cave you found these stones" Old Man "I don''t know, I just stumbled into it, I have no idea how I got in and how I got out, it was one of the most mysterious things I have ever experienced in my life" Julian "I will be going then" Julian got up and left with the three ck stones, he now has to remove the outeryer to see what kind of mega stones are inside, these stones seem special as well, they are also emitting a dark aura. Julian ''I cannot wait to see what''s inside these'' Julian returned back to his room to extract the mega stones from inside. ____________________ Somewhere back in Kanto, Team Rocket''s brand new headquarters, inside a private room Giovanni is sitting and watching the TV, he is watching Julian''s battle of course. Giovanni "That fucking monster, I just hope he doesn''t foil my ns again, Mewtwo is nowhere to be seen and Team Gctic in Sinnoh is acting weird, I think I should send the new Admin of mine to Sinnoh to see how good she really is" Giovanni said and took out his phone and called someone. Giovanni "Come to my private room" Soon a woman with blond hair walked in, she is, of course, one of the previous head of the Shadows, Beta, her real name Ang, she was lucky enough to not encounter Julian. She looked at the TV and saw how Julian''s pokemon destroyed their opponent, she stuttered looking at it. Giovanni checked her out then nodded. Giovanni "You know why you are an admin in Team Rocket?" Ang "No Boss" Giovanni "Because you were able to tell that a disaster was about to rue and escaped from that monster" Giovanni said and pointed at the TV, Ang looked at the TV and remained silent. Giovanni "In my whole life I have never felt so much fear when he stared down into my eyes and warned me, but I cannot stop, my hunger for power is more than a fear installed in me" Giovanni paused and looked at her once again. Giovanni "As your first mission, you will go to Sinnoh, infiltrate Team Gctic and find out what they are up too" Ang "Yes boss" She left the room and left Giovanni all alone, he just kept staring at the screen. Giovanni "Monsters". Chapter 227 - Rare Mega Stones As Julian got back to his room, he noticed Daisy and Chloe are nowhere to be around. Julian ''Ah, I remember they said they will go to the other small viges and look around ?? Julian sat on the work desk and took out the three ck stones he got from the old man. Julian ''I am really lucky to find them'' He then took out some tools to remove the outeryer of these stones to take out the Mega Stone inside, he had removed many mega stones from inside a crystal so he knows what he is doing. After hitting the stones with a small hammer and chisel, as he made a perfect cut in the middle he was finally able to see what is inside, he slowly removed the stone which revealed a ck round marble inside, it is very dark with a red and white pattern in it. It is clearly a Mega Stone and this is the first time Julian found one that looked so different from others, most Mega Stone has a very clear body but this one in his hand is dark but he could still see the white and red pattern in it, it is giving off a very chilling dark aura. Julian "It a very rare one, I wonder which pokemon it will react with" Julian carefully ced the rare Mega Stone to the side after removing the small fragments of ck stones on it. Julian "This stone is indeed very special, it is giving off a very dark aura, but it''s too small. Maybe I can use it to create a mega stone holder for one of my pokemon" He put it to the side and lifted the next one, he then started to hammer the chisel on this one as well, soon the stone split into two revealing the Mega Stone inside, seeing this one also surprised Julian, this mega stone is pure white in color with a blue, cosmic pattern inside it. If the previous one seems to be fierce and evil this one seem to have both dark and pleasant aura in it, Julian couldn''t exin how to describe this aura, but he was still excited to get this one because its aura is a little simr to his Absol''s. Julian ''If this can Mega Evolve Absol, I am very excited to see how he changes'' He collected the stones and put it to the side and ced this Mega Stone next to the previous one. Thest one, he took the hammer and chisel and started to separate it as well. Soon he split the stone and found another Mega Stone and this one is also very different from regr Mega Stones, it is also ck in color not as dark as the first one, it has a hint of brown in it as well, there is also a grey and orange pattern in it as well. Julian this time is shocked seeing this Mega Stone, not because of how it looks but the aura it is giving out, it has a dark and fire aura but this aura seems to be very familiar to Tyranitar. Julian is not able to exin how this is possible, from what he knows Tyranitar is a Dark and Rock-type, the next thing he is closest to is ground, so how can a Mega Stone exist that is giving off a fire aura but is still resonating with Tyranitar''s aura. Julian "This cave that old man found, it may be more mysterious than I thought, to contain Mega Stones that don''t make any sense, I think I have to find this cave when I go to Sinnoh" Julian looked at the Mega Stone in his hand and gripped it. Julian "Now Tyranitar has two Mega Stones and both may lead to different Mega Evolutions, let''s see what changes it brings in him" He then ced the three very rare Mega Stones to the side and collected the ck stones as well. Julian "These Mega Stones all seem to have Dark-type energy, is the whole cave filled with dark energy or there is more to it, well I can only find out about it if I stumble upon it" He got up and looked at his phone, he received a message from Chloe toe to the marked location she just sent him, since he has nothing to do right now he decided to check what the girls are up to. The location she sent to him is from the fifth small vige, as he arrived at the location he was called to he saw Chloe and Daisy standing there and calling him. Chloe "Over heree quick" Julian rushed towards them. Julian "What happened?" Daisy "Nothing, we were getting bored so we decided to call you" Julian "What?" Julian almost fell down hearing this. Chloe "Yes, we were getting bored so we called you but don''t worry we found something interesting" Julian "What did you find?" Chloe "Follow me" Julian then followed her to a restaurant, it seemed to be a normal one from the outside but as they went in it was not a restaurant but a restaurant themed auction house. Julian "You want to bid in the auction?" Chloe "Yes, look at what they are auctioning" Chloe then handed a paper to Julian. Chapter 228 - Plan For Team Rocket? Julian took the paper Chloe handed to him and looked at it, they seem to be auctioning many rare items today. Today''s rarest item is the Enigma Berry, it is the rarest berry one could find, Julian was surprised seeing that this is being auctioned in this small vige. ?? He had no use for it but people say that this berry has the power of stars in it. Julian "Do you want the Enigma berry?" Chloe "I don''t need it, I am after this one" She said and pointed towards a Pokeball, it is a very rare Pokeball that is only made in limited numbers per year, a Luxury Ball. These balls have a very special effect on pokemons, the pokemons caught in it be friendly to their trainer very quickly, this ball is also ted with gold and rare expensive stones. Julian sighed, he knew that Chloe likes shiny stuff very much. Julian "Ok, let''s get that for you, Daisy what do you want?" Daisy "I want the Shiny Stone" Daisy pointed at the Shiny Stone, it is also a very rare evolution stone when Daisy''s Budew evolves into Roselia she can further evolve her into Roserade using this Shiny Stone. Since this auction is selling some rare things he decided to enter, maybe he can find something interesting. He and the girls soon sat down on a table for three and waited for the auction to start, the waiter came to them and gave them a disy board which had a number on it, this is used for the bidding. He let them order some food and waited for the auction to start. Outside the auction house, Ash and his friends also arrived. Ash "Guys, let''s go and check it out" May "I want to eat here, I heard the food here is delicious" Brock "Maybe I can find something to buy here as well" As they entered the hotel themed auction house some people followed them as well. It was, of course, the three idiots of Team Rocket. Meowth "Are you guys thinking what I am thinking" Jessie "Of course, we can steal all the things they are going to auction, we will be filthy rich after this" James "Then I can buy all the rare bottle caps for my luxury collection with all that money" Jessie "Shut up, we are going to spend it on a trip to a vacation ind where there are lots of delicious food and cool breeze" Meowth "Let''s go in and see what''s going on" "Waaabaa" Jessie''s Wobbuffet came out and was about to shout but got shut down by Jessie, soon the four entered the auction house, Meowth and Wobbuffet dressed up to look like a man, Jessie and James also disguised themselves and entered the auction. They soon took a seat on an empty table and looked around, as Meowth was looking around he froze on the spot as he saw Julian looking at them. _____________________ When they entered the auction house, Julian felt something annoying is going to happen and he was right he saw the goons of team rocket entering the building. Julian ''These idiots are here as well, this means that Ash is also here'' He looked around and noticed Ash and his friends at the other corner of the building. Julian ''Hm let them be'' Julian then looked back at the team rocket idiots. Meowth who noticed Julian staring at them started to sweat. Meowth "Guys, I think we should abandon the n" James "What are you talking about?" Meowth "Look there" Meowth pointed at Julian, James followed his hand''s direction and noticed Julian smiling at them, he felt chills run down his spine as he saw that smile. James "Ya let''s get out of here" Jessie just froze, she is still scared of the horrors that Julian''s Gyarados and Gengar has brought to them. Meowth, Wobbuffet, and James took Jessie and excited out of the building. Julian just looked at them leaving silently. Julian ''They are very wise, such a waste they are being treated as useless fools by Giovanni, maybe I might have some use for them'' Julian thought and kept these three in his mind, no matter how annoying they are Julian had to admit these three are good at everything they do except stealing pokemons, stealing data they can do it, selling products they can do it, fooling people easy for them, disguising themselves without anybody recognizing them they got that too. Julian ''They are indeed multi-talented, their talent would rot if they are in Team Rocket, I should use them for some other reasons'' Julian though and put his focus back to the auction. He was not as lucky as he thought he is today as he didn''t find anything interesting in this auction, he bought the Luxury ball and the Shiny stone for Chloe and Daisy. The day soon came to an end as they returned to their room. Julian ''I should get ready for the top 32 and also check out the Mega Evolution on Tyranitar and Absol''. Chapter 229 - Mega Absol, Mega Tyranitar Julian is currently in an open area far from the Ever Grande Conference, he is standing in front of Absol, Absol has a dark band on his front right leg, it is actually made of stone that the Mega Stone was extracted from, Julian spend two days making it. The leg band held the white Mega Stone in it as its blue cosmic pattern sparkled as it reflected the sunlight. ?? Julian "Absol are you ready?" Absol nodded, he had seen Metagross Mega Evolve and he always wanted to as well now he is finally able to do it, he felt a strange connection to the Mega Stone on his front right leg. Julian "Ok, let''s go, Absol Mega Evolve" Julian said and shed the Key Stone which started to shine brightly, the light emitted from the Keystone started to activate the Mega Stone on Absol''s leg. Soon the Mega Stone also started to shine and it released a white light mixed with stray blue in it. As the lights fused together Absol started to change soon. His fur started to change and started to grow like wings, his w seems to be sharper and longer, his height increased a little, his tail also seemed to go through some changes. The light that is covering Absol soon faded and revealed Absol''s new form. Absol''s Mega Evolution looked very different than what Julian expected, the shape of the change was no different from the normal Mega Evolution but his fur now carried a stary cosmic pattern going over his whole body and they seem to be in motion. __________________________ /kari10001/art/Corrupted-Mega-Absol-457423924 This is how Mega Absol looks.

No improvement in HP and Attack but that boost in Special Attack and Special Defense, it''s almost double, and what is this Ability. System what is Cosmic Armor'' System ''Cosmic Armor prevents damage from each and every physical type attack'' Julian ''Wait, it means no matter what type of physical attack they won''t have any effect?'' System ''Yes'' Julian ''Isn''t his ability a little broken, well he can be damaged by Special attacks but that rise in Special Defense really puts the icing on the cake'' Julian didn''t expect this at all, he knew these Mega Stones seemed very rare but he didn''t expect them to impact a Mega Evolution this much. Absol could feel his Special powers increase, no physical increase but now his new move could destroy everything with this massive increase in Special Attack. Julian "Why don''t you try out your new move?" Absol nodded and started topress a huge amount of dark energy into a single point and it slowly started to rise because at some point it needs to or it will just explode on the spot, as the dark ball is as big as a normal baseball side heunched it up in the sky. The beam of Dark energy tore through the clouds, ripped the air and escaped the atmosphere. Seeing the power behind this move Julian nodded in satisfaction. Julian "Ok you should go back, its time for Tyranitar" Absol returned back to normal and Julian sent him back. He then took out Tyranitar''s Pokeball and tossed it up. Tyranitar soon came out, he is wearing his Mega Stone band and it has the older Mega Stone on it, Julian took out the new Mega Stone he found and showed it to Tyranitar. Tyranitar could feel the strange connection from the Mega Stone Julian is holding, he felt a connection but it is very different from the Mega Stone he has right now. Julian "Let''s try out this new one" Julian said and took out the Mega Stone from Tyranitar and ced the new one in. Julian "Let''s do this" Tyranitar nodded and tried to feel this new sensation he is feeling. Julian once again shed the Keystone which started to emit light and causing the new Mega Stone on Tyranitar to shine as well, it started to release an orange and ck light and fuse with the white light of the Keystone and Tyranitar started to change. his shell became thicker and spikes started toe out of the back, soon the temperature around the area became warmer and warmer. Smoke could be seening out of Tyranitar''s body. Soon the light faded away and Julian is able to see Tyranitar''s new form. He is shocked. _____________________________ /devildman/art/FKMN-Commission-Mega-Tyranitar-form-657242789 This is how Tyranitar''s new Mega Evolution looks.

Ability - Fusion (Unlocked) ______________________ Julian looked at the two different stats of both Mega forms of Tyranitar. Julian ''The new evolution is still very differentpared to the original one, he loses his rock typing so his defense only rises a little, both the Defense stats seems to be bnced, the rise in Attack stats is what is really surprising, both Attack and Special Attack have bnced out and is very high as well. There is also this new Ability Fusion. System what is Fusion?'' System ''This abilitybines elemental attacks of Tyranitar, if he uses Fire-Type move, Dark energy will bebined with it, if he uses Dark-type move, Fire energy will bebined to it, hence increasing the power of darkness and fire type moves, also help with typing damage, grass type pokemon can be damaged 2x with a dark type move due to this ability, likewise a psychic type pokemon can be damaged 2x with a fire type move with the help of this ability'' Julian ''I see abined type attack, sounds very useful, wait if that''s the case a pokemon with abined type like psychic and grass will take 4x damage from both fire and dark type moves from Mega Tyranitar'' System ''Yes'' Julian nodded and looked at the new form of Tyranitar. Julian "Tyranitar, use me Thrower up in the sky" Tyranitar nodded and sted a powerful methrower up in the sky, just as the system described, the mes didn''t look orange, they looked the exact color of the mes that areing out of Tyranitar''s chest and side of his mouth, the methrower clearly has a dark type aurabined in it, Julian could easily tell that this methrower is very powerful. Julian "Use Dark Pulse" Tyranitar once again sted a powerful Dark Pulse up in the sky, it ripped through the clouds and escaped the atmosphere. Julian noticed that the Dark Pulse had mesbined with it, a hue of light orange with some yellow and blue could be seenbined with it. Julian "Looks goo" Julian nodded. Julian "Which one do you like more?" Julian asked Tyranitar which one he likes more so that he can make one of the Mega Stone his default. Tyranitar preferred his Fire form as it gave him the feeling of immense power, more than his normal mega evolution. Julian also felt the same, even though is defense is not that greatpared to the normal Mega Evolution but his defense is still up there on top. Julian "Ok let''s go back, I have a league battle tomorrow" Tyranitar returned back to normal and Julian then returned him back to his Pokeball. After returning back to the Ever Grande Conference, he decided to go to the main stadium where they are currently disying who is going to battle who in the top 32. As Julian arrived at the Stadium he saw people were already looking at the huge disy which is ced outside the stadium wall. The huge screen disyed an inverted root system with 32 trainers at the bottom, Julian looked at where he is and saw that his battle is the forth out of the 16, means he will be atst battle of the first day of top 32. He sighed with relief as he didn''t have to wait for too long for his battle, he looked at his opponent, it seems to be a bulky man in his thirty, he has a ck beard, he is giving off a pirate vibe, the first impression he gave to Julian is a sea pirate. The disy didn''t specify the name and the type of pokemon the trainer used so Julian still has to go in and check it out himself. After walking into the room, he sat in front of aputer and inserted his id and trainer number. Soon a screen popped up disying his information, he clicked on a button named ''Next Battle'', another window popped up, now disying two pictures, one is his and the other is his opponent and below these pictures are the information. Julian soon started to read through his opponent''s information. Julian ''So his name is Stede Bonne, he is a water type trainer, interesting, his main pokemon is a Toxapex, is he from Al?'' After Julian fought the guy from Unova who had the Zoroark and a Z-Crystal, Julian did some research of the pokemons that live in Al, he was very surprised when he found out there are different versions of pokemon of the same species called the Al form. He even researched about specific pokemon that are found in Al and Toxapex is one of them. Julian continued to read and found out more about Stede''s team. Julian ''He has a stoise, Slowking, Kingler, Poliwrath, and Cloyster, I don''t know which four pokemon he is going to use, I just have to wait and watch''. Chapter 231 - Top 32 (2) The day is here, people are going crazy as wild as they cannot wait any longer for the final round to begin, the top 32 are also very nervous, except Julian because he knows no one is the league will defeat him, they might put up a good battle but no way they are going to win against him, he is not overconfident, he just knows because he has analyzed each and every 31 trainers in the league right now. He saw some good trainers in the bunch and two to three of them were just lucky enough to get in the top 32 because they got weak opponents in the qualifiers, his opponent Stede seems to be a promising trainer and has reached the top 32 with his skills. ?? Julian is looking forward to how he battles, he noticed that Stede didn''t go all out in his battle as well, it looked like he is holding onto something which he might use against him, so Julian is waiting to see what Stede really has up his sleeve. Chloe and Daisy joined him as they went to the main stadium and decided to watch the other battles, even though he didn''t need to, its always better to know who is advancing and who is not. From what he has seen on the inverted root chart on that huge screen outside the stadium, the person who wins the third battle will battle him next. Julian sat down with Chloe and Daisy as they watched the battle and ate the snacks that they bought, one battle after the other the third battle has soon arrived, it is between a girl named Emma and a Boy named Noah. Both of them had a good battle but Julian didn''t think much of them, they were one of those who were too lucky and got into the top 32, at the end of the battle Emma won, so she should be battling next with Julian. Julian "My queue is up, I will be going then" Julian said and got up, Daisy and Chloe got up and kissed his cheek for some good luck which he doesn''t need but he still appreciates the kisses. After arriving in the waiting room he closed his eyes and cleared his mind as he always does, after a while he got informed that he will be up next in a minute, as he heard the announcer started to announce, he got up and walked towards the machine which would lift them up on the battlefield. Announcer "It''s time for today''s main event, this battle is between Stede and the Undefeated Julian, both of them have not lost even a single pokemon during the whole tournament so this will be a battle to watch" Announcer "Ok enough chit-chat, let''s wee our first trainer, he has traveled around the world and seen pokemons that arepletely foreign to us, he has experience in training water type pokemon, let''s wee Stede" Stede made his way into the Battlefield from underground on and looked around and waved at the people who were shouting in excitement. Announcer "Now, let''s wee the most favorite to win this year''s league, Julian" Julian also entered the battlefield and looked at Stede. Stede "Hahaha, I was waiting for this moment for quite a while, my hands are itching to have a battle with you" Julian "Is that so, let''s see what you got for me" The Referee walked in and started to exin the rules of the battle. Referee "This is a knock out round, each trainer will use four pokemon each, both trainers are allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, the person who''s all four pokemon are unable to battle will be eliminated from the tournament" Referee "Are both trainer''s ready?" Seeing both of them nod in agreement the referee continued. Referee "Then let the battle continue" With that, his waved his g signaling the start of the battle. Stede "Come out Kingler" He sent out Kingler as his first pokemon, the Kingler seems huge and powerful, its snapped its w and made a clinging sound. Stede "Why don''t we have a pure Water-type battle?" Julian "Well I have only one water type pokemon" Stede "You were a champion, you should be able to defeat all my pokemons with just one" Julian "It that a challenge?" Stede "Why not, you did that in Kanto why not right here and now, don''t tell me your Hoenn team is not strong as the one in Kanto?" Julian "Hahahaha, do you really think these tricks would fool me, but you know what? I would y along with your game, ok I will only use one pokemon, if you defeat my Milotic I will forfeit the tournament" Julian said as he tossed Milotic''s Pokeball up in the air. Milotic came out of her Pokeball and showed off her beautiful scales which reflected the sunlight off it, she is wearing a golden ring around her tail and it has a Mega Ring in it, it is the same one she found in the underwater cave. Announcer "Did you all just hear that. Julian said if Stede is able to defeat his Milotic he will forfeit the battle, that means he will be eliminated from the tournament itself." The crowd took in a deep breath, they didn''t expect a battle like this to take ce, many of them believed Julian is still going to win but some were skeptical about it, as they had not seen Julian''s pokemon go aggressive like before in the Indigo League, he is very defensive in this league. Stede "Great, that''s what I expect from the Strongest Champion" Julian "Are you ready?" Stede "Kingler, use Hammer Arm" Julian "Milotic, let''s get this done with, full power Dragon Tail" As soon as Julian gave themand, Milotic covered herself with water and charged towards Kingler, she is fast. Kingler didn''t even notice before Milotic is already in front of, she does a spin and smash the blue glowing tail of her''s on Kingler. As the attack hits, everything around the stadium get''s distorted, the sound of this attack sounded like a p of thunder as people felt the vibration all over their body. Before Stede could even process what happened his Kingler was sent flying past him and nted on the wall behind him. Kingler was knocked out. Chapter 232 - Top 32 (3) The whole stadium went silent, no one expected this at all, just one move and it''s over. Announcer "Did you all see that? one move, just one move" ?? The crowd once again went crazy as they cheered for Julian''s Milotic. Stede is as shocked as everyone present around the stadium, maybe even more, he knows how strong his Kingler is better than anyone, and to get one shot like that at the beginning is a huge blow. Julian "You have three left, make your choice" Julian said and folded his arms. Julian "Just because I didn''t go all out in previous battles means I have not trained my pokemons properly, each and every pokemon that belong to me are at the highest level around their power level, I just didn''t destroy my opponents because I don''t want to destroy their confidence, but you seem to be very confident on your pokemon, losing one won''t matter to you I guess" Julian said this as he felt Stede is the kind of person he thinks he is, a verypetitive one. Stede "Ha, you got me there but it won''t matter, I will take down your Milotic, go Cloyster" Stede sent out his Cloyster. Julian ''So he is going for pure defense now'' Julian "Milotic, Aqua Tail" Milotic charged towards Cloyster as her whole body is covered with water which helped her move around the rough ground very easily. She reached Cloyster and swung her tail which is covered with water vortex around it. Stede "Cloyster protect yourself" Cloyster soon closed its exposed head in its hard shell and shut it tightly, Milotic''s attack hit it and sent it rolling and crashing on the ground, Cloyster revealed its head once again, it didn''t receive any damage. Julian ''That shell is really living up to the species hype, that even a missile cannot break it since physical attacks are near useless then Special attack it is'' Julian "Milotic, Ice Beam, cover the battlefield with Ice, pin Cloyster down as well" Milotic took a deep breath and sted a powerful Ice Beam across the battlefield and covering it with ayer of freezing ice. As Cloyster''s movement is halted on hard ground it couldn''t escape and got caught on the ice, as it''s spikes got caught in them. Stede "Use Spike Cannon on the ice to get out of the ice" As soon as Cloyster used the Spike Cannon and got out of the ice hold, Milotic suddenly made a move, she sent a powerful Dragon Breath straight towards the exposed head of Cloyster, it may have a nearly unbreakable shell but while performing an attack it cannot cover it''s head, with this Milotic''s Dragon Breath hit straight on the face and sent it flying backward and itpletely fainted. Stede didn''t see thating at all, he thought that Julian wanted to pin down Cloyster andunch a barrage of attacks, even though Cloyster''s shell is hard being continuously attacked would cause the internal part of the shell where the head lies to get hit by shockwaves which will at some point cause dizziness or make it even copse. Stede decided to escape from the ice hold but who would have thought that Milotic will attack when he wasn''t even paying attention. Another one of his pokemon is down, now he has only two left and the remaining two are his strongest pokemon, he has to go all out he wants to achieve what he said, and that is to defeat Julian''s Milotic. Stede "Come out Slowking" His third pokemon is Slowking, a water/psychic type. As Slowking came out of its Pokeball andnded on the icy ground it released a powerful psychic aura. It also had something on its neck, the patterned scarf around its neck has a Mega Stone fixed in it. Stede "Let''s go all out, Slowking Mega Evolve" As soon as Stede brought out Slowking he went straight for the Mega Evolution. Slowking soon started to change and when the light faded away nothing much changed except the crown on its head turned into a huge gold crown and the round scarf around its neck turned into a long cape _____________________ /skallhati/art/Mega-Slowking-752384074 This is how it looks. Art by Skallhati. _____________________ Julian looked at this new mega evolution he saw, he has not seen a Mega Slowking before so it is something new to him as well. Stede "Slowking, use Psyshock" Julian "Milotic dodge, then use Water Pulse" Milotic''s speed increased as she slid on the ice and water that is covering her body, she moved around and dodged the Psyshocks one after the other and then sent a powerful Water Pulse, a huge ball of water rushed towards Slowking followed by a wave of water right behind it. It crashed on Slowking and caused the water to fly everywhere and cover the whole battlefield, as the water cleared Milotic appeared right in front of Slowking and attacked with an Ice Beam, freezing Slowking and turning it into an ice sculpture. She then backed down. Julian "Let''s finish this Hyper Beam" Since Slowking is now inside an ice brick, turned into an Ice Sculpture a direct hit from a Hyper Beam would be devastating. Stede "Slowking get out of it" As Stede spoke the ice started to crack and ayer of psychic energy could be seen seeping out of the cracks. Miloticunched her Hyper Beam and it was about to hit Slowking, that is when the ice shattered and Slowking manages to make an escape, seeing the Hyper Beam missed, Stede sighed but it is not just over. Julian "Now" As Julian says this Milotic rushes towards Slowking who is trying to get back to its feet after making that near escape, Milotic suddenly wraps around Slowking and squeezes it. Stede "Slowking quick use Psychic and get out of it" Julian "No you don''t Milotic use Captivate" As Milotic heard Julian, she used Captivate and rendered Slowking useless, it fell in love with Milotic. Julian "Finish it off, Hyper Beam" Milotic thenunched a Hyper Beam right on Slowking''s face and let go of it, it was sent flying and crashing on the ground and lost its Mega evolution and fainted. Stede''s three pokemon are down and he only has one to go. Julian "Go on, choose yourst pokemon" Julian said. Stede gritted his teeth and tossed his Pokeball. Stede "Go stoise" He sent out hisst pokemon, a stoise, it is a big one and it also has a Mega Stone on its arm. Stede "stoise Mega Evolve" Stede once again went for a Mega Evolution, Julian is surprised by this decision but he didn''t think it is stupid, he would have done the same if he had to battle an opponent who is stronger than him. stoise soon started to change and it finally Mega Evolved. Julian looked at Milotic and thought of something. Julian ''I think I should Mega Evolve her as well'' Julian had no particr reason, he just wanted to y around so he decided to Mega Evolve. Julian "Why don''t I Mega Evolve as well" He said and shed his Keystone, causing the Mega Stone on Milotic to shine as well. Soon Milotic started to change, she became longer and her antennas multiplied and her tail fin became evenrger. ________________________ /cdhernly/art/Mega-Milotic-566616027 This is how she looks.

Announcer "Three mega evolution in one match, this couldn''t get any more interesting" Chapter 233 - The Finale Julian "Let''s get this over with, Milotic use Ice Beam" Stede "stoise counter with Hydro Pump" ?? Both pokemonsunched their moves and they collided, the sh between water and ice lead to nowhere, ice shards kept flying everywhere as the water got frozen by the Ice Beam and the pressure behind the Hydro Pump shattered the ice. Stede "stoise use Aqua Jet" stoise suddenly retracted its head, hands, and legs inside and started to spin, shooting out water and turning into a vortex, then it charged towards Milotic using Aqua Jet. Julian "Dragon Tail" As stoise got near Milotic she jumped and did a 360 flip andnded a powerful Dragon tail right on top of stoise after dodging the Aqua Jet. stoise crashed on the ground but it didn''t stop spinning, as it spun it turned like a wheel and charged towards Milotic again. Julian "Use Ice Beam to make a ramp" Milotic use Ice Beam and created a mini ramp, as stoise came in contact with it, it got lifted up in the air without having any control over its body. Julian "Iron Tail" Milotic then swung her tail with full power and hit stoise from the bottom and sent it even higher up in the air. stoise didn''t have any control over its body right now and it kept flying up. Julian "Hyper Beam" Milotic then took a deep breath and sted a powerful Hyper Beam at stoise, the attack hit and stoise stopped spinning and came crashing down to the ground, as it came down, its head came out and people could notice that it got knocked out, it returned back to its normal form after that. Referee "The winner of this battle is Julian, he advances to the Top 16" The referee dered the results and the crowd started to cheer for Julian, as he said he defeated all of Stede''s pokemon with just one. Announcer "What a powerful match that was, I can still feel the vibration of those attacks all over my body, too bad it has ended and today''s knockout round is closed, tomorrow will be another day where eight trainers will battle and four will go to the top 16" The announcer finished his announcement. Julian approached Stede and shook his hand. Julian "You know, not many people dare to challenge me right up on my face, you are a great trainer and you should continue doing what you do" Stede "Hahahaha, as expected of the champion, you earned my respect, and here I thought you champions were all over self-confident brats" Julian "Well I hope, my image is at least clear, I don''t know about others" Stede "Haha, I like you more now, how about we have some beer after this?" Julian "We will see" Julian then left the stadium. _________________________ Top 16 was nothing special, Julian swept his opponent easily with his Flygon and Gardevoir. Top 8 was ok, he faced off against a flying type trainer but Metagross just stomped over all four of them. Top 4, the semifinal was also ok, he faced off against a Psychic-type trainer but he got buried the same way as others, Julian only used Absol to sweep thepetition, he didn''t even Mega Evolve him. And now the finale is near, Julian is currently sitting inside a VIP room with Daisy and Chloe as they watched the battle going down below. It is between Tyson and Ash. Tyson is up to hisst pokemon while Ash still has two up his sleeve, Tyson''s Meowth is standing on the battlefield as its sharp ws are exposed, to its opposite is Pikachu, his cheeks are releasing sparks. Tyson "Meowth let''s finish this, use sh" His Meowth ran towards Pikachu at full speed, Ash seems to be very determined and focused right now, he is waiting for the perfect moment. Julian smiled seeing this. Julian ''Looks like I found my opponent for the final battle'' As Julian thought this Ash made his move. Ash "Pikachu now, full power Thunderbolt" As Ash gave themand Pikachu has finished charging up, as soon as Meowth came in the point-nk range, a full burst of electricity got released from Pikachu. The both traveled through the stadium and into the sky, Meowthnded on the ground right next to Pikachu as smoke came out of its fur. Meowth has fainted. Referee "Meowth is unable to battle, Pikachu wins, the winner of this battle and the trainer to advance to the grand finale is Ash Ketchum" Announcer "IT''S OVER, WE HAVE OUR TWO FINALIST, Julian the undefeated vs Ash the underdog, a battle that will be talked for years toe, I cannot wait for it even a second, a battle that would shake the world will take ce" The Announcer hyped up the finals as much as he can, but he didn''t need to do that, everyone in Hoenn is right now talking about two people, Julian and Ash. A trainer who is already at the top and a young underdog who wants to climb up the mountain. All eyes were on Ash and Julian. Ash had never expected he woulde this far, he and his pokemons have worked really hard and finally, he gets what he wanted from the very beginning of his journey, a battle with Julian. Ash returned back to the waiting room where Brock, May, and Max are waiting for him. Ash "Guys, I did it, now I have one more to go" Brock "The finale will be the hardest battle you will ever experience, you know that right?" Ash "I know" Brock "Do you think you can will" Ash "No, but what I want is to go all out, I havee this far, I cannot back down now" Brock "That''s what I expected, you will do great in the finals" Ash "I hope so as well" Max "Ahhhh, I am so frustrated, I don''t know who I should cheer for, Ash or Julian" Max rubbed his head in frustration. May "Let''s cheer for both of them" Max "Yes, I will cheer for both of you guys" Ash "Thankyou" Gengar [Gegegegegegegege] Gengar watched the four talking andughed and disappeared into the shadows once again. On top of a hill which is nearby, Julian stood and smiled. Julian "Let''s see what you got for me Ash, I will be waiting" As he said this Gengar returned and went back in his shadow. Chapter 234 - The Finale (2) And here it is the final day of the Ever Grande conference, the battle will start at 7 PM. After the battle ends there will be awarding of the winner with his trophy then the top 32 will also be rewarded with the trophy as well. People flew from other regions just to watch this battle, most of them are die-hard fans of Julian and no matter what happens they couldn''t miss his final battle in the Ever Grande Conference. ?? Posters about the battle are being stuck all over Hoenn and some even in the regions nearby like Kanto and Jhoto. Ash has also got a lot of attention after his awesome victory over Tyson who was expected to battle Julian in the finals. Julian stayed out of the limelight as he trained his pokemons for thest battle of the tournament, same could be said for Ash, he is also training hard for this battle, he doesn''t want to be like other trainers who didn''t give any challenge to Julian. People are hyped and the talk of the region is this battle that is happening tonight. All hotels and inns in Ever Grande city are booked, even some rent houses got booked for a day by people who came from other regions. The Ever Grande city is packed with people and pokemons, all waiting for the sun to fall. Time passed and its 6 PM, people have already gathered around the stadium, it''s already packed as no one wanted to miss a seat for today, but people still missed it, they are standing at the end and waiting for the battle to begin. The choppers are flying up in the sky above the stadium and streaming the live feed before the battle begins, they were not allowed to stream during the battle as the scale of the battle is dangerous so nothing was allowed to fly above the stadium during the except some filming drones which are still restricted to go near the battlefield, they can only be flown around the battlefield no above it. The league is very conservative as they know Julian''s battle can destroy the battlefield and the walls around the stadium if not maintained proper protection. Many news channels are already hosting about the battle, QnAs are being answered, they talk about strategy and many other aspects that could lead to a good battle. Pokemon-battles are just like a sport and people love to watch and discuss it. The league hosted some short shows before the battle begins so that the gathered audience doesn''t get bored. As the pre-shows was over, its time for the main event, it''s 6:55 PM and the count down has begun. Julian is inside the waiting room right now waiting for the announcer to start talking so he can go outside and get this over with, he is calm and eyes closed as he clears his mind. Ash is on the other side of the waiting room where is he surrounded by his friends. Brock "Ash you can do this" Ash "Don''t know I am very nervous" Brock "I know, but you should still put up a great fight" Ash "I will" May "All the best" Max "All the best" Ash "Thankyou" Soon a man came in and looked at them. "Its time, get ready" Ash nodded and got up. Same happened in Julian''s waiting room, a man informed Julian that he is up next, Julian nodded his head. Julian "I will be there you can go" As Julian said this he got up and walked towards the main elevator which will raise him on the battlefield. Outside the battlefield, the clock was about to hit 7 pm, ten seconds remaining and the count down has begun, the TV channels that have a contract with the league have started to stream already and it is being streamed worldwide. "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0" As the countdown got over fireworks blew up in the sky signaling the start. Announcer "ITS TIME, thest and final battle of the EVER GRANDE CONFERENCE, this is the biggest crowd that has ever gathered in a championship tournament, people from all around the world havee to watch this amazing battle that is going to take ce in just a few minutes. Are you all hyped?" "YESSSSSS" The crowd shouted, their shout could be heard all over the Ever Grande city. Announcer "Then let''s get started, let''s wee our first trainer, he is the underdog of this tournament, he ced top 16 in Indigo teau conference and top 8 in the Silver conference, now he is facing Julian in the finals of Ever Grande conference, this young man is going to one of the greatest trainers in the future but does he have what it takes to defeat Julian today, please wee Ash Ketchum" As the announcer finished the announcement. Ash is brought up to the battlefield by the elevator, he stands there and looks the cheering crowd, the lights shing all around the stadium, the cameras that are focusing on him, but he is not troubled by it at all, he looks into one of the camera and smile. Ash "Mom can you see me" He waves his hand at the camera saying hi to his mother who is in Kanto with Professor Oak, watching the TV right now. Announcer "Now let''s wee the one and only Julian, I seriously have nothing remaining to tell about him, he is still undefeated and now we have to wait if he will still remain undefeated, please wee Julian" Julian is also raised up on the battlefield and as usual the crowd starts to call out his name and cheer for him, his fans held his huge posters and wave around the same usual super fan reaction. Julian has got used to this and waves his hands at them. He then looks at Ash and smiles. Julian "Looks like your wish hase true" Ash "Yes" Julian "So are you ready then?" Ash "Bring it on" Julian "Good". Chapter 235 - Julian Vs Ash (1) The Referee soon walked into the battlefield with two gs in his hand, he is wearing protective gear as he will have to stay in this battlefield as he is the referee. Referee "This is a battle to decide the champion of the Ever Grande Conference, each trainer will use six pokemon each, the trainer who will have no pokemon left at the end of the battle will lose, trainers are allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, are the rules clear?" ?? Ash "Yes" Julian nods his head also agreeing to it. Referee "You both may choose you first pokemon" As Referee said this, Ash put his hand at the back of his pocket and took out a Pokeball. Ash "Donphan you are up" Julian "Absol,e out" Ash looked at Julian''s Absol and tensed up a little, he had seen the power Absol held so he has to be careful. Referee "Are both trainers ready?" Ash and Julian gave their ok, seeing both of them are ready the referee waved his gs and signaled the start of the battle. Referee "Then let the battle begin" Ash "Donphan use Rollout" Ash''s Donphan rolls up and charged towards Absol as it leaves a trail of sand flying behind it in full speed. Julian "Absol use Night sh" Absol stands his ground and digs his ws into the ground and channels dark energy into his horn and extends it, as Donphan gets near Absol swings his horn and use Night sh and attack Donphan. The sh causes the air to blow away, both the attacks get defused, Donphan rolls back and Absol is pushed back a little, leaving 5 cm w marks on the ground. Julian "Impressive, you Donphan is strong but you need more than that to take down my Absol" Ash "I know and we aren''t done yet, Donphan use Rollout again" Julian "Absol, Dark Pulse" As Donphan tried to get close and hit Absol, Absolunched his Dark Pulse and stopped Donphan, Absol normal form is a powerful physical attacker so his special attack is not as strong as his physical, so Donphan didn''t receive much damage but it still stopped it. Julian "Absol Quick Attack" Absol suddenly charged towards Donphan with full speed. Ash "Donphan, use Defense Curl" Donphan rolled up and stayed still by using Defense Curl, as Absol got close to Donphan he didn''t attack but started to move around Donphan, his speed kept increasing as he did so. Ash realized that he has to interfere and not let Absol keep on increasing his speed. Ash "Donphan, use Earthquake" Donphan trumped and thrashed its two feet on the ground suddenly sending tremors on the ground causing it to crack up and sh with each other causing a huge power surge. Julian "Absol, jump up and use Psycho Cut" Absol did as Julian said and dodged the Power Surge and suddenly sent a crescent de made of psychic energy towards Donphan. Ash "Donphan, use Rapid Spin and deflect it" Donphan started to spin super fast, as the Psycho Cut hit Donphan it got deflected by it. Julian got surprised. Julian ''I didn''t expect Rapid Spin to be used like this, well since its Ash I should be expecting some stupid but effective things as well'' Julian "Absol destroy the ground below, use Stone Edge" Julian had been teaching Absol how to use Stone Edge and he has finally learned it. Absolnded on the ground and released a pulse underground, suddenly blue stone edges came out ripping through the ground and lifting up Donphan to the air, even though Donphan is resistant to Rock-type attacks Julian got it where he wanted. Julian "Now Dark Pulse" Absol sted a powerful Dark Pulse towards Donphan which is up in the air. Ash "Donphan, use Defense Curl" As Donphan is in the air it cannot use Rollout or Rapid Spin to deflect this so it has no choice but to use Defense Curl. This is what Julian wanted, the Dark Pulse hit Donphan and sent it flying, it crashnded on the ground but it was not over, Absol''s Dark Pulse continued pushing Donphan, it rolled till it went outside the battlefield and crashed on to the wall behind Ash. As Donphan came out of its rolled up position, everyone saw that it has fainted. Referee "Donphan is unable to battle, Absol wins" Julian "Ash you have to do better than that if you want to even make my pokemon sweat" Ash gripped his hands and grinned. Ash "It''s not over I have prepared for this battle for such a long time, I am not going down so easily" Julian "Let''s see what you got" Pikachu "Pika" Pikachu wanted to go into battle but Ash stopped him. Ash "You will get your chance but not now" Ash then took out a Pokeball and threw it. Ash "Heracross, I choose you" Ash sent out his Heracross. Julian ''If I remember Heracross is from Ash''s Johto team as well'' Julian "Absol return" Julian had decided to use Six pokemon in today''s battle as he wanted all of them to get a chance too bad one of them wouldn''t get that chance, he then took out a Pokeball and tossed it up. Julian "Flygon you are up" Julian is using pokemon that doesn''t have a direct advantage or disadvantage against Ash team as he really wanted to test him. Julian "You should try harder or you won''t have a chance at all" Julian said. Ash "We will see about that, Heracross use Hyper Beam" Julian "Dragon Pulse". Chapter 236 - Julian Vs Ash (2) The Hyper Beam and Dragon Pulse shed with each other and it destroyed the ground under the collision, the air got distorted and blew everywhere it could reach. Ash "Heracross use Horn Attack" ?? As the battlefield gets covered by the smoke of the attacks, Heracross reveals its wings behind its back armor and fly towards Flygon with full speed as its horn glows and increase in size as it uses Horn Attack. Julian "Dragon w" Flygon ps his wings fast and moves the smoke away and extends his hands and two huge glowing w materialize. Flygon them crosses them and charged towards Heracross. Both of them collide in midair, the Dragon w and Horn Attack collide and cause a huge sound which sounds like a p of thunder. Heracross and Flygon back off as they are equally powerful in pure brute strength. Julian is surprised by how powerful Ash''s Heracross is, to go head on with Flygon is really something. Julian ''Interesting'' Julian "Dragon Rush" Ash "Use Mega Horn" Flygon flies up into the sky and looks down on Heracross, he then suddenly covers himself with pulsing energy which turns into a shape of a dragon and it roars. Flygon then takes a deep dive towards Heracross and rush towards it using Dragon Rush. Heracross stands its ground and its horn starts to growrge and glows green, it then reveals its wings once again and starts to p it and rush towards Flygon using Mega Horn. They once again collide and this time the impact is even greater, the sound caused by this attack is like a rumble of thunder. The crowd in the audience cover their ears but still keeps cheering for them. Flygon and Heracross keep exchanging blows after blows, but it has toe to an end at some point, Heracross seems to be losing its stamina but Flygon is still at his peak he can carry this for hours, the training Julian put then through has increased their stamina to their peek. Julian "Now Brutal Swing" As Julian sees Heracross is getting tired he knows his time hase to make a move. Flygon moves away and escapes a Horn Attack from Heracross and then grabs onto its horn and does a 360 turn and swings Heracross to the ground with full force. Heracross is caught off guard and gets mmed into the ground and nted deep. Ash "Heracross get out of there" Julian "Draco Meteor" Flygon releases a ball of energy up in the sky and it suddenly separates into multiple shards and starts to rain on the ground. Heracross did get out of the ground but is caught by the meteors that are raining on it, it couldn''t take on such a powerful attack and copses as its stamina hits the limit. Referee "Heracross is unable to battle Flygon wins" Ash looks at his Heracross and smiles. Ash "You did great Heracross you should rest" He returns Heracross back to its Pokeball and looks at Julian. Julian "Your Heracross is really strong, too bad itcks stamina or it could rival elite four level pokemons easily" Ash nodded and took out his next Pokeball. Ash "Sceptile, I choose you" Julian calls back his Flygon and takes out another Pokeball. Julian "Then I will go Sceptile as well" Julian said and brought out his Shiny Sceptile. The two Sceptile faces each other, one is a regr one and the other is a Shiny, Julian''s Sceptile is of course, taller than Ash''s Sceptile and he stares down on Ash''s Sceptile. Julian''s Sceptile is very proud of his speed and power so he would start to release pressure on his opponent to show them what they are facing against. Ash''s Sceptile feels the stare of Julian''s Sceptile and grits its teeth, it knows Julian''s Sceptile is looking down on it and it res up its fighting instinct. Ash "Sceptile let''s go all out" Ash''s Sceptile nodded and stared at Julian''s Sceptile Ash "Sceptile use Dual Chop" Ash''s Sceptile charges towards Julian''s Sceptile as its hands glow, it is fairly fast and reaches Julian''s Sceptile in just a few seconds. Julian "Duck, then Night sh" As Ash''s Sceptile aimed for Julian''s Sceptile''s head, Julian''s Sceptile ducked down then delivered a Night sh right on its belly and sent it crashing backward. Ash "Sceptile use Bullet Seed" Ash''s Sceptile rolled and quickly got back to its feet and sent multiple bullet seeds at Julian''s Sceptile. Julian "Dodge, then use Leaf de" Julian''s Sceptile dodged the Bullet Seeds easily and charged towards his opponent as his red des grew longer and sharper, the red crescent des of Sceptile are very intimidating. Ash "Sceptile, use Leaf de as well" Ash''s Sceptile also powered up its de and is ready to sh. Julian''s Sceptile arrives and swings his left de from the bottom left side, Ash''s Sceptile moves its left de and blocks it, Julian''s Sceptile then brings down his right de from the top, Ash''s Sceptile once again blocks the attack with its own right de but this leaves his bodypletely opened. Julian "Now" Julian''s Sceptile had been storing energy for a powerful blow for quite a while now he has got the chance to use it. Julian''s Sceptile sts a powerful Dragon Pulse straight on Ash''s Sceptile''s face. Ash''s Sceptile is sent flying in the air but Ash hasn''t given up. Ash "Sceptile use Leaf Storm" Ash''s Sceptile brings out a raging tornado of leaves and use it to stabilize itself in mid-air and itsnds back on its legs, it''s hurt but it didn''t receive extra damage from crashing on the ground or into the wall. Ash "Sceptile I know you can do this" Ash''s Sceptile seems really weak right now but suddenly its power starts to re up as green aura starts to surround its body. It''s ability Overgrow kicked in, it would raise its grass type moves power. Ash "Sceptile go all out, use Leaf Storm" Ash''s Sceptile goes all out and uses all its power to summon a gigantic Leaf Storm, the Storm is so huge that it''s reaching the sky, shattered stones on the ground are being lifted and sucked into the tornado making it''s inside even more dangerous. Ash''s Sceptile then starts to move it towards Julian''s Sceptile. Julian''s Sceptile stood there as he looks at the huge raging storm of leaves, he grips on to the ground tightly and is ready to go all out as well. Julian "Let''s finish this, Frenzy nt" As themand is given, Sceptile rises his hand and then ms it to the ground, suddenly gigantic rootse hurdling out of the ground and charged at the tornado to rip it off. The roots are as thick as 1.4 meters, and there are continuous charging at the Leaf Storm like javelins. The roots don''t stop there and charged towards Ash''s Sceptile as well. As the two of the most powerful Grass-type moves collide, it causes a huge explosion that rises up till the air, the crowd in the audience gets startled by the explosion of the green light, luckily they are behind powerful protection. The stadium is covered by a thick cloud of white smoke and nothing could be seen except some tips of the gigantic roots. Soon the smoke gets clear and the results are clear, Ash''s Sceptile is gripped in a huge root and has fainted. Julian''s Sceptile is still standing but is breathing lightly. Referee "Ash''s Sceptile is unable to battle, Julian''s Sceptile wins" Chapter 237 - Julian Vs Ash (3) Three of Ash''s pokemon are down but throughout the whole tournament he has had the longest battles with Julian''s pokemon, the crowd is enjoying this battle, this is really arge scale battle which is causing huge explosions that couldn''t have been seen in a normal battle. Julian "Who is going to be your next pokemon, choose wisely" ?? Ash stared at Julian then took out his Pokeball. Ash "Snox I choose you" Ash sent out his Snox. This made Julian nod his head, he has never seen Ash''s Snox before but he knows one thing, Ash''s Snox is a powerhouse just like his. Julian "Great choice, Sceptile return" Julian called back Sceptile and took out his next Pokeball and tossed it up. Julian "Metagross you are up" Julian''s Metagross is his Tank of the team and he hits hard. Ash''s Snox seems very serious as it senses Metagross''s power. Ash "Snox use me Thrower" Snox takes a deep breath and sends a zing methrower at Metagross. Julian "Use Reflect" Metagross created a barrier which stopped the methrower from reaching him. Julian "Now sh Cannon" Metagross then used his four arms and aimed at Snox, then he started to create a ball filled with steel energy. He thenunched it towards Snox with full power. Ash "Snox counter with methrower again" Snox once again used methrower and the two attacks once again collided causing massive destruction that caused it to rise till the sky and air got ripped and sent blowing everywhere. Ash "Snox use Body m" Snox then jumped high up in the air and when crashing towards Metagross. Julian "Metagross move" Metagross moved away and dodged the Body m. Ash "Not so fast, Snox use Hyper Beam" As Snox keeps falling it turned its head towards Metagross and released a powerful Hyper Beam, since Metagross is very close he couldn''t dodge and got hit by the Hyper Beam. Metagross flew up in the sky from the impact but after the smoke got clear Metagross could be seen floating there who no scratch on him, the first reason being that he is resistance to normal type attack and second is his extreme defense. Julian "Now sh Cannon" Metagross thenunched a powerful sh Cannon on the falling Snox which made it fall even faster and crashed on the ground, but to Julian''s surprise, Snox got back to its feet and dusted off its stomach. Jinughed lightly seeing this, the reason Snox came out unscathed is because of their high vitality, they are pokemon who have extreme vitality, even when they are injured or damaged they can still stand up as if nothing happened until a certain extent. Snox is hurt but it can still put on a powerful fight. Julian "Metagross use Zen Headbutt" Metagross folded his arms and charged towards Snox as he covered himself is pulsing psychic energy. Ash ''Wait for it'' Metagross came towards Snox and crashed onto it and started to push it through the battlefield. Ash "Snox now Thunder Punch" As Snox was getting pushed, Snox lifted its right hand and delivered a powerful Thunder Punch on top of Metagross''s head. Metagross crashed on the ground and Snox also lost its footing and fell on its back. Metagross was hurt but this is something he could take easily, he once again got back to floating and made some distance from Snox. Both of them received some damage after that exchange. Julian ''That Snox is already near Elite level pokemon, Ash is really lucky to capture it'' Julian thought. Julian "Metagross let''s get over with this, Meteor Mash" Ash "Snox Hyper Beam" Metagross rushed towards Snox as if a meteorite is entering through the atmosphere and burning up, the power behind this Meteor Mash is huge. Snox also got ready for it counter, it got back to its feet and started to collect enormous power in its mouth, and then itunched it. The Hyper Beam tore through the air and hit Metagross. Metagross stood his ground and decided to tear through this Hyper Beam, he put more pressure and started to move forward. Ash "Snox full power" Snox increased its output and the Hyper Beam became even stronger. Metagross has not given up, he collected more power and increased his output and finally tore through the powerful Hyper Beam and crashed onto Snox. As it happened the explosion rose up till the sky, the protection around the stadium vibrated like crazy, the whole battlefield has turned into a deadnd, cracks everywhere, burnt marks and small rocks lying on it. Smoke covered the whole battlefield and nothing is clear, soon the air blew away the smoke to reveal Snox is out, it has fainted. Metagross is still floating, he won that exchange. The referee ran into the battlefield as he had already abandoned it a long time ago when it had be very dangerous. Referee "Snox is unable to battle, Metagross wins" After stating the result he ran back to the safety chamber. Julian "You have only two left, make a choice or give up" Julian said. Ash gritted his teeth. Pikachu "Pikkaaaa" Pikachu who is sitting on his shoulder stepped up and took the battlefield. Ash "Pikachu? are you sure?'' Pikachu nodded his head and electricity sparked across his cheeks. Julian "Quite brave, Metagross return" Julian called back Metagross and took out his next Pokeball. Julian "Pikachu let''s see how much you have grown, Gardevoir you are up" Julian sent out Gardevoir next. Gardevoir took the battlefield and suddenly the pressure rises in the battlefield, Gardevoir is a pure special attacked so her firepower is beyond anyone in Julian''s team, her defense and attack are nothing but there should be no one who can handle her special attack. Chapter 238 - Julian Vs Ash (4) Ash''s Pikachu is ready to battle Gardevoir, he has trained a lot and wants to battle against a powerful opponent. Julian, on the other hand, is surprised by this choice, he thought that Pikachu will be hisst pokemon as he noticed he has developed the most out of the other pokemon Ash has. ?? Julian ''Which pokemon will he use for the final round? Well looks like I have to knock out Pikachu for that'' Ash "Pikachu, use Quick Attack" Pikachu charged towards Gardevoir as he left a light trail behind him, he moved side to side to avoid any sudden attacks from Gardevoir. Julian "Magical Leaf" Gardevoir raised her hand and suddenly leaves started to revolve around her, she then sent it towards Pikachu, Magical Leaf cannot be dodged so Pikachu has to confront it. Ash "Pikachu, Thunderbolt" Pikachu sent a powerful lightning strike and burnt down the Magical Leaf into ashes, he then continued to charge towards Gardevoir while using Quick Attack. Pikachu arrived right at the side of Gardevoir and charged towards her, Gardevoir moved back and dodged the attack but Pikachu once again turned towards her as hended on the ground and sessfullynded a blow on her. Gardevoir is sent back flying but she uses her Psychic energy to stabilize her self andnded gracefully back to her feet. Julian "Psyshock" Gardevoir sent a powerful Psyshock towards Pikachu. Ash "Pikachu dodge using Quick Attack then use Iron Tail" Pikachu dodged the Psyshock by using Quick Attack and rushed towards Gardevoir again, his Tail started to cover with Steel energy as he reached near Gardevoir, he jumped and swung his tail towards Gardevoir. Julian "Teleport" Gardevoir suddenly disappeared from her spot and Pikachu hit thin air and crashed on the ground. Julian "Psychic" Gardevoir suddenly appeared behind Pikachu and sent a powerful wave of Psychic st towards Pikachu and sent him rolling on the ground. Ash "Pikachu get up" Pikachu kept rolling but he used Iron Tail and mmed it on the ground to stop himself and got back to his feet and shook his body to get rid of the dirt on him. Ash "Great, Pikachu Thunder" As Ash gave themand Pikachu stood on his hind legs and sent a massive thunderbolt up in the sky, suddenly the sky above started to go dark as lightning clouds started to umte on top. Julian looked at the lightning cloud and got impressed by how much power it holds. Suddenly a bolt of massive lightning came tearing down on Gardevoir. Julian "Counter with Moon st" Gardevoir created a huge energy ball that looked like a moon, then a white beam got shot from it and confronted the massive bolt of lightning. As the two attacks shed the whole stadium vibrated from the impact, the air inside the stadium went crazy and blown away outside before it got filled again, the audiences are safe behind the protection of the stadium. The ground beneath which had already turned into rubbles now started toe apart from the impact. Ash "Pikachu Iron Tail" As the st was still taking ce, Pikachu charged towards Gardevoir and appeared right above her and swung his tail towards her. Julian "Teleport, the Psychic" Gardevoir once again used Teleport and appeared right above Pikachu and sent another st of powerful Psychic energy towards Pikachu. Pikachu is sent sting on the ground and crashed, dust filled the battlefield and everyone is waiting in anticipation. As the smoke cleared Pikachu could be seen on the ground and Gardevoir still standing, as the Referee came in and was about to dere the result Pikachu got up and sent a bolt of powerful lightning up the sky, soon a thunder could appear once again and then a bolt of massive lightning fell down. This time not on Gardevoir but on Pikachu himself. Julian ''I think his hidden ability Lightning Rod got unlocked'' Julian is indeed right, Pikachu is nowpletely immune to any electric type moves plus getting attacked by an electric type move will increase his special attack. Pikachu''s body released waves of electric current as he looked at Gardevoir, his eyes showed the will to battle to the end. Julian is really impressed by how far Pikachu and Ash as reallye, the toughest opponent of anyone in Julian''s team is Gardevoir. First, she has enormous firepower, second, she can easily teleport and escape any kind of attack, even if she has low defense stats what''s the use when no one can hit her, people would rather face his Tyranitar, Sceptile or Metagross then battle against Gardevoir. Ash "Pikachu, let''s go all out Thunder" Pikachu released another thunderbolt at the sky which causes the already existing cloud to rumble more. Julian "Gardevoir set up Future Sight, then Teleport to dodge the Thunder" Gardevoir rises her hand and suddenly huge purple eyes appear on top of her head and locks onto Pikachu then it disappears. As the lightning strikes down Gardevoir uses Teleport and moves away from the target point. The Lightning hit the battlefield and makes a huge gaping pit right in the middle of the battlefield, the ground is charred ck as the smell of the burnt ground drifted across the battlefield. Ash "Pikachu Discharge" Pikachu releases another powerful attack but this time its an all area attack, lightning bolts fly everywhere and try to hit Gardevoir, but she keeps moving around while using Teleport and moving around. Ash "Pikachu full power" Pikachu suddenly increases his output and suddenly his lightning expands like an explosion covering the whole battlefield like a wide area st. Gardevoir couldn''t dodge this and get electrocuted by the powerful electricity and fall down on the ground. Suddenly four purple eyes appear right next to Pikachu. Ash "What''s that" Before Pikachu and Ash could tell what is happening the four eyes shoots a powerful beam from four directions, directly hitting Pikachu. The whole stadium is covered with a cloud of smoke shaped like an inverted bowl, nobody knows what the result is as both pokemon got hit by very powerful moves. As the smoke soon rose up the sky clearing the battlefield everyone could see Pikachu has fainted and Gardevoir is breathing heavily and some scratches could be seen on her. Julian ''Gardevoir''s massive Special Defense really saved her, or there would have been no way to escape that powerful Discharge'' Julian thought. Julian ''Looks like they have grown more than I thought'' Gardevoir used Heal Pulse on her self and returned back to her original self. This is also one of the reasons why Gardevoir is the toughest pokemon for Julian''s opponent to battle, she can easily heal herself back to her peak condition. The referee walks in and carefully checks if Pikachu is out or not, after confirming he is, he gives the confirmation. Referee "Pikachu is unable to battle, Gardevoir wins" Ash sighed and heads towards Pikachu and picks him up. Pikachu opens his eyes and looks at Ash with sad eyes. Ash "Pikachu you did your best, the opponent was just a little stronger, next time we will definitely get them" Pikachu nodded and Ash walked back to his side and put Pikachu to the side so he could rest. He then looked at Julian and took out his final Pokeball. Julian "This is yourst pokemon, are you sure you want to continue" Ash "I have not given up yet" Julian "Then bring it on". Chapter 239 - Julian Vs Ash (5) Ash nods his head and looks at hisst Pokeball. Ash "You are thest one let''s show Julian how powerful you really are" ?? He took the Pokeball and threw it Ash "I choose you" As the ball spun it opened and suddenly a huge pokemon with wings emerged out of the Pokeball and roared loudly causing the whole stadium to shake. It is his Charizard, it seems fairly big standing 1.9 meters, its long wings and sharp ws seems very intimidating and the me on its tail seems to burn very brightly, Ash''s Charizard is one of Ash''s strongest pokemon or the strongest pokemon, after training in Caricific Valley then begin trained even harder under Ash training which Julian imparted to him, his Charizard has be very powerful. What caught Julian''s attention is the metal armor around Charizard and a Mega Stone in it, Julian looked at Ash''s hand and noticed that he has a mega bracelet as well. Julian ''I didn''t even notice he was wearing a mega bracelet and his final pokemon Charizard seems like it can Mega Evolve as well, now this is interesting'' Julian "Gardevoir return" Julian called out Gardevoir and took out hisst Pokeball. Julian "Let''s go" He said and tossed his Pokeball, soon the Pokeball opened and Tyranitar came out andnded on the ground causing it to tremor a little, Tyranitar roared and loudly stating his dominance from the start, his roar caused the crowd in the audience to shiver a little as they felt goosebumps. Tyranitar looked at Charizard, Charizard did the same as well. A face of between two powerful pokemon caused the whole stadium to get tense. Ash "Charizard, Wing Attack" Charizard pped his huge wings and flew up high in the sky then its wings started to glow brightly and he dived down towards Tyranitar with full speed. Julian "Stand your ground, let''s see how tough this Charizard is" Charizard knew that the Tyranitar in front of it is a monster and is waiting for Charizard to get close but Charizard is no joke either as it increases its speed and try to hit Tyranitar with full force. Julian "Grab it" Tyranitar stands his ground and as soon as Charizard is close to him he extends his hands and grabs on to Charizard''s wings and tries to stop it. Tyranitar gets pushed back a little but that all, Tyranitar is too powerful in terms of pure raw strength, he can bring down mountains, what can a flying lizard do. Ash "me Thrower" Charizard sts a methrower right on Tyranitar''s face as it cannot get out of its hold. Julian "Dark Pulse" Tyranitar doesn''t seem to be effected at all, he opens his mouth and releases a powerful Dark Pulse, it rips through the methrower andnds on Charizard''s face. Tyranitar let''s go of Charizard''s wings and it is sent flying and crashing on to the ground. Charizard gets back to its feet in a matter of seconds and shakes of the pain and roars at Tyranitar. Ash "Charizard, use Dragon Breath" Julian "Tyranitar Iron Defense" Tyranitar covers his body with Iron Defense, the Dragon Breath hits Tyranitar but it has no effect on him due to Iron Defense. Ash ''I have to get close if I need to deal damage to Tyranitar'' Ash "Charizard Steel Wing" Charizard once again takes the sky and dives down at Tyranitar and this time it is using Steel Wings to take down Tyranitar. Julian "Use Brick Break" As Charizard was about to get close to Tyranitar, Tyranitar got in position to deliver a crushing Brick Brake. Ash "Now Dragon Tail" As soon as Charizard got close to Tyranitar, Tyranitar brought down his hand onto Charizard''s head to deliver a Brick Break but Charizard suddenly turned andnded a powerful Dragon Tail on Tyranitar''s belly. Tyranitar got pushed back a little but he still seems fine after taking that hit. Julian ''So he is taking advantage of Tyranitar''sck of speed'' Ash "Charizard use Dragon Breath again" As Charizard is still close to Tyranitar it once again attacks with a powerful Dragon Breath. Julian "Stone Edge" As soon as Tyranitar hears Julian nextmand, he mmed his hands on the ground and suddenly blue glowing rock edges came ripping out of the ground, the first one deflected the Dragon Breath, the second onepletely stopped it and the third one hit Charizard and sent it flying back to Ash''s side. Ash "Charizard are you ok?" Charizard nodded and got back to its feet. Charizard looked at Ash and pointed at the Mega Stone on its armor. Ash "Yes, let''s do this" Ash said and shed the Keystone that is in the mega bracelet of his, the Keystone started to shine and causing the Mega Stone on Charizard to shine as well, suddenly green light rays started toe out of Charizard''s Mega Stone and fused with Ash''s Keystone. Charizard started to change, its size grew bigger along with its wings and tail, spines could be seen on its shoulder and knees, spike on its back and wings. Julian could tell that this is a Mega Evolution that ispletely different from the Charizard X and Charizard Y. Soon Mega Charizard could be seen, its body had abination of ck and green mes. _____________________ /phatmon/art/Mega-Charizard-Z-592800022 This is how Ash''s Mega Charizard looks, you can call it Mega Charizard Z if you want. Art by Phatmon _____________________ Julian is surprised by this Mega Evolution as it is apletely new one. Julian ''System what is its typing right now?'' System ''Charizard''s typing is Dragon/Flying'' Julian ''I see, Mega Charizard X is a Fire/Dragon, Mega Charizard Y is a Fire/Flying, now this, let''s call it Mega Charizard Z and this is a Dragon/Flying'' Julian looked at Mega Charizard Z and nodded. Julian ''The Mega Stone that Ash found must have altered its hidden Dragon typing and made it its main type while it mega evolved, where did he find it, I might ask himter''. Chapter 240 - Julian Vs Ash (6) Ash''s Charizard''s Mega Evolution sparked up another hugemotion between the crowd as this is the third possible Mega Evolution for Charizard, people started to click pictures of Charizard and posted it online. Everything that is about the league being posted on the inte would go viral in seconds as all eyes are on it. ?? Ash "Charizard, methrower" Mega Charizard Z takes the air and sts a powerful methrower that is green in color. Julian "Tyranitar use methrower as well" Tyranitar also sted his zing methrower to counter the attack, both methrower collided with each other and tried to take over the other. Soon it defused as both of them were unable to get an upper hand over the other. Julian "Focus st" Tyranitar charged up a powerful beam in his mouth and sted it towards Mega Charizard. Ash "Charizard use Dragon Breath" Charizard uses Dragon Breath to counter Tyranitar''s Focus st, the two attacks collide but the Focus sts seems to have an upper hand and goes right through the Dragon Breath and hits Mega Charizard. Ash "Steel Wing" Mega Charizard suddenly does a turn and rush towards Tyranitar is full speed and ms its wings on Tyranitar and sessfully push him back. Julian "Brick Break" As Charizard is right below his hands there is no way it can escape, Tyranitar brings down his massive hands on Charizard''s head with a Brick Break. Ash "Charizard Dragon Tail" Charizard quickly turns and hits Tyranitar with another Dragon Tail but the Brick Breaknds on its back and sends t crashing on the ground. Tyranitar has pushed back again and is a little hurt by getting attacked on the same ce, again and again, Tyranitar looks at Julian and growls. Julian understands what Tyranitar want to do, he wants this to be done. Charizard will try to keep its distance for most of the battle and only try to get close to deal big damage, Tyranitar may be very strong but his special attack iscking and Special Attacks are the best way to take down pokemon that maintain their distance. Julian "If you say so" Julian shes his Keystone and it starts to shine, the rare Mega Stone on Tyranitar starts to shine as well, dark and orange light started to flow out of it and fuse with the light from the Keystone and Tyranitar started to change. He becamerger and more powerful both in Attack and Special Attack. As the light fainted away Mega Tyranitar is visible to the eyes of the crowd, they once again go berserk as they see a new possible Evolution for Tyranitar as well, people soon start to take pictures and post it online as well. Today two new possibility of Mega Evolution for both Tyranitar and Charizard is seen, this caused the scientist who has just started to research Mega Evolution to be even more determined inpleting their research. Julian''s Tyranitar''s ming body causes the temperature to rise up significantly, now that Tyranitar is only weak to Water, Fighting, Ground, and Rock it will be more difficult for Ash and his Charizard toe up with something new. There is no way Charizard can perform Seismic Toss on Tyranitar and even Steel Wing which could have been used to damage Tyranitar is now useless as he gains immunity to steel type moves as well. Ash "Charizard use Dragon Breath" Julian "Tyranitar use Dark Pulse" Mega Charizard releases a powerful Dragon Breath towards Tyranitar and Tyranitar does the same and sts a powerful Dark Pulse but this Dark Pulse also has fire element in it. The Dark Pulse and Dragon Breath collide and cause a huge explosion but that doesn''t end there as the Dark Pulse then rips through the Dragon Breath and hits Charizard and sends it flying back as it crashes on the ground. Ash looks at Charizard and grist his teeth, he knows his Charizard cannot take any more damage. Charizard gets back to its feet and looks at Ash and nods and wishes to go all out. Ash "Charizard, let''s go all out, One final move use Outrage" Charizard roars and suddenly go crazy with anger and charged towards Tyranitar will full power behind its move, its body gets covered by fire and dragon aura as it charged towards Tyranitar. Julian "Tyranitar full power Stone Edge" As Julian gives his finalmand Tyranitar starts to collect a massive amount of energy between his hands as he waits for Charizard to get close. As Charizard gets close to his, he ms his hand on the ground and at the next moment when Charizard is just about to crash onto Tyranitar, a massive 9 meters long glowing Stone Edgees ripping out of the ground and hammers onto Charizard''s chest and sends it shooting high up in the sky. Mega Charizarde crashing down on the ground and dust fills the ground, everyone waits in anticipation as the dust goes away the result is in front of their eyes. Charizard has lost its Mega form and has fainted. The Referee walks in and checks Charizard and gives his result. Referee "Charizard is unable to battle Tyranitar wins, the winner of this battle and the champion of the Ever Grande Conference is Julian". As the result is stated the crowd burst into cheers as they shout both Julian''s and Ash name, this is the best pokemon battle they had ever seen, even though the winner seemed so obvious the battle was just amazing and they got many extreme moments such as Pikachu''s and Gardevoir face off and the result of the battle, it was indeed fascinating. Ash stood their silently as he grips his hand tightly. Tyranitar returns back to normal and Julian sends him back to his Pokeball, he then approaches Ash. Julian "You did the best you could, but you still have a long way to go" Ash lifts his head and looks at Julian. Ash "I will" Julian "I am sure, and when that happens we will be facing off each other again and just like today there will be millions watching us" Julian smiles and then looks at Pikachu who seems to have recovered a little. Julian "You pack a lot in that small body of yours" He says and pats Pikachu''s head. Julian "Get ready the awarding ceremony will soon begin, you don''t want to miss it right?" Ash "I know" Julian nods and leaves the battlefield. People are still cheering his name, the fireworks sts in the sky and light it up indicating the end of the Ever Grande Conference. Chapter 241 - Saying Goodbye The night isn''t over as people are still present to watch the amazing fireworks disy in the sky and soon the award presenting ceremony is about to begin as well so no one has left. Julian is inside a room with Daisy and Chloe as they hand feed him some food they prepared. ?? Daisy "So now that you have be the champion of the Ever Grande League will you challenge the Elite four or the champion" Julian "Naa, I think I will just have an exhibition match with Wace to see how good he is" Chloe "So the day is near right?" Julian "Don''t be emotional now, you should do what you really want, even Daisy will be with you, both of you can call me daily" Chloe "We know, by the way, why are you going to Sinnoh next?" Julian "The Sinnoh league will be the next one that is being held, of course, there are many pokemons there I want to meet" Daisy "I wanted to ask you something?" Julian "What is it?" Daisy "Where is your hometown? what about your parents?" Julian was caught by surprise by this question, he didn''t expect Daisy to ask about it. Julian sighed and looked at her. Julian "I was born an orphan, I don''t know who my parents are or where I was born, I have been traveling from a very young age" Julian couldn''t say that he has transmigrated from another world where this world is just a fiction. Daisy and Chloe were taken back by this. Julian "You don''t need to worry about it, I have already decided to stay in Kanto, it will be our home" Daisy and Chloe smiled and nodded. Soon a man knocked at their door to tell Julian that the awarding ceremony is about to begin. Julian sent him away telling that he will be there. Julian "Will the two of you join me?" Daisy "No, we will watch from the side" Chloe "Yes, we don''t want to get more attention, already being by your side has given us too much exposure" Julian smiled wearily and nodded, he then went to the stadium where the awards are now being hosted. ________________ Charles Goodshow is on top of the tform in the middle and is now handing out the trophy for the top 31, Ash also gets a trophy with a runner up trophy as well, the rest who participated in the league was presented a participation trophy. Soon it is Julian''s turn, the announcer introduces him and Julian walks up to the tform and stands next to Charles. Charles "This is the second time you are receiving this trophy from me" Julian "Don''t worry it won''t be thest" Charles "Hahaha, I know, you won''t stop until you get all the trophies" Julian "Indeed" Charlesughs and hands over the huge trophy to Julian, he takes it and lifts it high in the air, the crowd burst into cheers as onest massive fireworks are set of indicating the end of this years Ever Grande Conference, the mes of Moltres is extinguished and it will be light up in the next years Ever Grande conference again. Everyone goes back to their hometowns as the league ends, people fly back to their regions with souvenirs for their family and friends. Julian''s time in Hoenn is about to end. _______________________ Before going to Kanto Julian challenged Wace to an exhibition match without facing the Elite Four, due to Julian''s standing Wace excepted the challenge, the day of their battle was as huge as the final of the Ever Grande Conference. The battle went for 30 minutes but Julian still came out victorious without losing a single pokemon in the battle. Defeating Wace''s Milotic was a little tricky but Sceptile pulled it off and hence he continued his undefeated streak. Today is a bright day and Julian is with Chloe and Daisy at the airport, they are going back to Kanto and decided to take a flight than going in a ship, as it is much faster and convenient. After 7 hours of flight Julian, Chloe, and Daisy finally arrived at Kanto, to their surprise people were waiting for their return, Professor Oak and Jimi were present at the airport, they hade to receive them. Julian "You know we could havee alone right" Jimi "I don''t think so, your fans and the media are outside waiting for you, do you think you can escape from them" Julian "How did they know I wasing?" Jimi "They are media, they have connections everywhere so its no big deal for them" Julian "Ok let''s go" Julian brought Chloe and Daisy into one of his personal car which he had bought during his business day in Kanto. As he exited the airport he saw tons of people waving at his car and TV reporters taking pictures. Once they returned back to theirpany vi Daisy and Chloe decided to check around while Julian and Jimi have some talk Jimi "You should do a press conference or they won''t leave you alone" Julian "That''s a good idea, make an arrangement" Jimi "About our partnership with Devon, we have decided to start off with the smartphone industry then we can branch off if it is a sess" Julian "I understand" Julian and Jimi talked about some important business and decision that should be taken. He then spent most of his time with Daisy and Chloe in his home in Pallet town. The press conference also went well, they asked about his journey in Hoenn and some info about his pokemons as well, he was asked about Daisy and Chloe and he agreed that they are his girlfriends as well, they asked about his next adventure but he kept that a secret from them. The press conference ended as the reporters returned happily to theirpany with tons of new about Julian. Most of his days were just peaceful, spending time with his two beautiful women and making love to them. But this all has toe to an end as the day hase for their final departure. Diantha actually came to Kanto to take Chloe with her, same could be said for Daisy as well, the very famous Pokemon groomer came to Kanto to take her as well. As the airport Daisy and Chloe hugged him and kissed his cheeks. Chloe "Be safe and don''t go around ying mask hero all the time" Daisy "Yes, we don''t want to see you in danger" Julian got startled by this. Julian "Wait you knew about it?" He said in a low voice so that only they could hear. Chloe "Of course we knew about it, how can we not recognize a man we love even if he is under a mask" Daisy "We understand why you didn''t want to tell us about it as you are concerned about us" Julian "Looks like I really cannot hide anything from both of you" Julianughed and looked at them, he then took out two Pokeballs and tossed it up in the air. Gardevoir and Flygon came out. Julian looked at these two pokemon and sighed. Julian "I hope you two will protect them at all cost, no matter what happens" Gardevoir and Flygon looked at Julian with teary eyes but they nodded their head. He looked at Daisy and Chloe who seemed very surprised by Julian. Julian "Chloe, you will take care of Flygon for me and Daisy you take Gardevoir, make sure that they don''t miss me" Both Chloe and Daisy nodded their head. Gardevoir looked at Julian''s shadow and called Gengar, Gengar came out of his shadow and said his goodbye to Gardevoir and Flygon. Unexpectedly Gardevoir kissed Gengar and went back to Daisy''s side. Seeing Gengar blushing Julian, Daisy and Chloeughed, Gardevoir had developed feelings for Gengar when he started to teach her how to control her psychic powers. He handed them their pokeballs and said his final goodbye. Daisy and Chloe left alongside with Gardevoir and Flygon, their flight took off. Julian and Gengar watched the flight disappear into the clouds, they sighed together. Julian "Buddy it looks like we are all alone again" Gengar "Geeeeennnnnnggaaarrrrr" Gengar sighed and went back into his Shadow. Julian "Next stop Sinnoh" Chapter 242 - It Emerges Julian is currently sitting in his home and watching the TV, suddenly he gets a call, he looks at the phone and it is from Professor Oak. Oak "Julian, you shoulde down to theb quickly, your egg is acting up" ?? Julian "Are you sure?" Oak "Yes, it just wiggled" Julian "Ok I will be there" Julian quickly got up from his couch and rushed towards Professor Oak''s Laboratory, he had left the egg in the very expensive incubator Professor Oak has. Since theboratory is just minutes away from his home, soon he arrived at theboratory to find Professor Oak waiting for him outside. Oak "Julian quick get in" He said and rushed back into theb, Julian followed him and they finally arrived in the egg incubator room, there are many pokemon eggs inside in this room but his egg is ced right in the middle under a veryrge egg incubator. Julian approached the egg and touched it to feel if something is off, as he did the egg wiggled again. Julian "Is it hatching?" Oak "Maybe, this is a very rare egg, I have never seen an egg that needs this long to hatch, we even have many false warning past months but it quite down afterward" Julian "Well it was given to me by a Mew, what do you expect" Oak "You are really lucky to be gifted an Egg by a Mew, even 1% of the poption has a hard time meeting them but you even got a gift, I wish I was there to document it" Julian justughed, he had told Professor Oak that this egg was given to him by Mew as he still needed a professional to check the health of the egg and when it hatches he might need Professor Oak to be on the spot if anything goes wrong. Oak "Let''s wait and watch, I think the egg will soon hatch" Julian nodded and stood beside the egg as he watched carefully. The Egg soon started to glow and giggle at the same time, then it started to change colors as well. Julian thought it would be a Mew as he got it from Mew and the ce he got it from were filled with Mew as well. He waited for a while and the Egg started to giggle even faster and rapidly change colors, Julian even lost the count of the colors it has changed to. Then it finally happened, it cracked. Julian "It''sing out" Julian said. Professor Oak also rushed in closer with his notepad. A bright white light came out of the crack and the cracks soon started to multiply and it soon covered the whole egg, a piece of the eggshell fell revealing white light inside the egg, soon the remaining shell also started to fall. Now there is only white light shaped like an egg shape. Julian is very surprised by this because he could feel Omniforce around this light, same like Infernape when he is in his Predominant form. The light scattered and disappeared revealing a very small white pokemon. It has two tails, small body, a small head, and a red crystal on its forehead. It blinked its small eyes which is still bigpared to its head and looked at Julian, it could feel the same kind of energy from Julian that it had. Oak "Is that a Mew?" Professor Oak''s eyes were wide open as he saw this tiny pokemon which is just 6 inches in size, and with its tails which is twice the length of its body, it is 18 inches long from the tip of its ear to one of its tail. Julian "It looks like one but it isn''t" Oak "Huh? What do you mean?" Julian "A Mew should have a pink or a very light pink color skin, a shiny will be blue in color, but this little guy here is pure white and it has two tails while Mew only has one, and it has a red crystal on its forehead as well" When Oak heard this he got surprised as well. Oak "Does this mean its a new species?" Julian "Possibly" Julian said and tried to pick up this little creature, the little pokemon saw Julian''s big handing at it, feeling the very familiar energy around Julian, it floated up in the air which startled Julian. Then this little pokemonnded on his hand and rolled up its tail around his wrist and lied down and closed its eyes. Julian ''So cute'' Of course, he didn''t say it loudly, he brought it closer and patted its small body. Infernape who was outside with his fellow pokemon felt the presence of this new life, a small ball of Omniforce and walked towards the Laboratory, Julian''s other pokemon also followed behind him and they soon arrived right outside the door. Julian walked out as he felt his pokemons outside and showed them this new little creature. Julian "Now don''t wake it up" His pokemons bent down and looked at this little creature with astonishment in their eyes, they had never seen anything like this before. Infernape felt a close connection to it as he could tell it had the same aura as Julian. Julian "Ok you guys go back and spend some time with each other before we leave" Julian said and walked back. Oak "Julian do you know what pokemon this might be?" Julian "I think its closely rted to Mew as to how simr it looks, the only difference is that it has two tail, white fur, and a red crystal on its head" Oak "If this is a new species it could be a good find but its all up to you, if you want to go public or not" Julian "Let''s not think about it, if it is meant to go public nobody would still dare to try something with me around" Oak "I get it" Oak sighed. Oak "So you will be leaving Kanto tomorrow right?" Julian "Yes, I hope you take care of my pokemons" Oak "Haha, no need to worry, but I won''t mostly have to take care of them, they are the ones who maintain peace in the pokemon area" Julian "Thank you, let me go and talk to them" Julian walked out with the small pokemon in his hand, it seems to be enjoying its sleep on Julian''s hand. He then walked towards the area his pokemons are hanging out. When they noticed him walking towards them they stopped and looked at him. Julian "Tomorrow some of you will be leaving with me to Sinnoh, I know all of you want toe but I cannot do that but don''t worry, I can call you whenever I want so you don''t have to worry" Julian said and patted all of them Julian "Gyarados, Venusaur make sure no one causes any trouble" Gyarados and Venusaur nodded. As they were the more responsible pokemon out of the bunch Julian left them in charge. He then looked at his other pokemons and smiled at them as well. Julian "Ok, now I will take few of you will me, Infernape, Snox, Gengar, Tyranitar, and Absol, you five will being with me" His other pokemons are sad but they understand. Julian "I hope all of you don''t stop training just because I am not with you, I will always be checking on your progress from Professor Oak" Julian took out five of his pokeballs and returned the five pokemons back to their Pokeball, he then went into theboratory and handed over his other pokeballs to Professor Oak. Julian "Keep them safe" Oak "I know" Julian "Now I have to go back to my home and pack my stuff and also figure out about this little guy" Julian said as he looked at the small pokemon in his hand, it slowly opened its eyes and looked at Julian and float towards his shoulder and sat down as it used its tails and wrapped it around his arm. Chapter 243 - Crystal Julian "So what are you, little guy?" Julian smiled and rubbed his finger on top of its head, the small pokemon closed its eyes and purred lightly. ?? Julian ''System, show stat of this pokemon'' System ''Affirmative'' ____________________ Mew (Mutated) Type - Normal Level - 01 Bond - 50% HP - 60 Attack - 60 Defense - 60 Sp. Atk - 60 Sp. Def - 60 Speed - 60 Move set - Pur Ability - Multitype (Unlocked) ____________________ Julian ''So it is a Mew but how did it get mutated?'' System ''When host got the egg it was still a yolk, continuous exposure of Omniforce caused it to go through a positive mutation'' Julian ''Wait so I am the reason for this?'' System ''Yes, the host has contributed to creating this new variation of Mew'' Julian was not expecting this at all, he thought that it would help the egg hatch faster but what he did cause it to mutate. Julian ''Are there any side effects?'' System ''No, this Mew can easily channel Omniforce, being the purest power source there is no way a side effect can take ce'' Julian nodded. Julian ''Can this be done with other pokemon eggs?'' System ''No, this Mew was able to develop because of itsplex DNA, other pokemon eggs cannot handle the process, it might even erase their DNApletely as Omiforce would treat it as an impure element'' Julian started to sweat. Julian ''Thank god I didn''t try this on any other pokemon egg'' Julian then looked at its stats and ability, he was surprised by how powerful this little guys base stats are, and when he saw its ability he was really surprised. Julian ''Wait, this ability, isn''t it the same one like Arceus?'' System ''Yes'' Julian ''So this little one can turn into any type it wants?'' System ''Yes, once it learns a Type move it can transform into that particr type'' Julian ''So it can change its typing with free will without using a move like the ability Protean'' System ''Yes'' Julian nodded. He looked at the little guy on his shoulder who is looking around its surrounding curiously with its big not so big eyes. Julian ''This little guy already has a 50% bond with me, I should take good care of it'' Julian went back to his home and started to pack some stuff before he goes to Sinnoh, his ship sails tomorrow, Julian could have gone faster route by booking a flight ticket but Professor Oak needed him to give a professional sealed letter to Professor Rowan. Since he like traveling on a ship he decided to go in it, since he is fuckin rich he has booked tickets for the most expensive ship that is going to Sinnoh. Julian got back to his home and gave the little guy some MooMoo milk, the little guy liked it very much and finished a whole bottle. Julian ''I shoulde up with a name for this guy, he doesn''t look like a Mew so I shoulde up with a new name'' After thinking for a while he decides to name it Crystal. Julian "Crystal" He says and pats its head with one finger Hearing it being called Crystal, the little guy circles around Julian happily as if it understands that Julian just gave it a name. Julian suddenly remembered something when he looked at this little guy. Julian ''I think I saw a move called Pur in its stats pool, System what does it do?'' System ''It makes the opponent lose all its will to attack the user and bes very polite and sweet to it'' Julian thought of a cat purring when he listened to the description. Julian ''A really useful move I guess'' Heughed and walked towards his room and started to pack his stuff so he could leave _______________________ Back at Professor Oak''sb, Ash arrives back after a long journey as well, he gets surprised by his mom and Professor Oak, to his surprise Gary also seemed to have arrived just today. Ash "Gary you are here as well?" Gary "Yes I just arrived back from Sinnoh, I watched your battle with big brother, I must say you have be a lot stronger" Ash "Wanna battle?" Gary "Sure" Oak "Let''s go outside then" Ash and Gary soon called out their pokemon, Ash chooses Pikachu and Gary called out his new pokemon Electivire. Ash "You got an Electivire too?" Gary "I got him in Sinnoh" Ash "Cool I cannot wait to go to Sinnoh and meet new pokemons" They started the battle soon afterward. Physically Gary''s Electivire is strong but Pikachu has be way too fast for it to even get a hold of it, after a very hard battle Electivire is taken down by a Volt tackle from Pikachu, Pikachu is very exhausted as well and the bacsh kicks in and his legs goes week but he is still conscious. Gary sighed seeing this. Gary "Your Pikachu has really be strong if you had not faced big brother you might have won the Ever Grande conference" As Gary was about to return his Electivire back to its Pokeball, Julian''s Electivire walks in and looks at the fallen Electivire in embarrassment. He roars and causes the fallen Electivire to get up and stand stiff. Gary looks in astonishment as he sees Julian''s Electivire, Professor Oak steps in and exins why Electivire is here. Oak "As Julian is going to Sinnoh he decided to leave most of his pokemons here, now it looks like they are controlling the whole pokemon area" Professor Oakughs awkwardly because Julian''s Pokemon now have more control over the pokemon area them him. Gary''s Electivire looks at this giant Electivire which is twice its size and shiver in fear. Julian Electivire [You puny insect, you are an embarrassment to our race, I would have been fine if you were taken down by another type of move, but being taken down by an electric type move, you are disgraceful] Julian''s Electivire roared and scolded Gary''s Electivire, it looked at its trainer to save it. Gary "Electivire long time no see, can you let it be, he is still young" Julian''s Electivire looks at Gary and stares at him with scary eyes as if he is telling ''its none of your business'', Gary felt chills and backed off andughed and looked at his Electivire with sorry eyes. Gary "Haha, I was just kidding, you can do whatever you want" Julian''s Electivire once again looked at Gary''s Electivire. Julian Electivire [You areing with me, I will put you under one hell of training so that you cant put our race''s name in shame again] Julian''s Electivire drags Gary''s Electivire to the electric area which he had created to put him under immense training. Gary''s Electivire [Master save me] Gary just looks helplessly as his Electivire gets dragged away. Everyone in the field looks stunned and soon everyone burst intoughter. Ash "Professor, you said Julian will also be going to Sinnoh" Oak "Yes" Ash "Oh, I have to leave soon as well" He says and runs away with Pikachu. Oak "Ash wait he still-, Oh he ran away" Gary "Is big brother still in Kanto?" Oak "Yes, he is at his home, his ship will leave tomorrow" Gary "Ok, I will meet him then". Chapter 244 - Towards Sinnoh Julian finished up packing his stiff, he noticed that Gary hase back so they talked for a while, soon Gary left. Crystal had made a home for itself in Julian''s front pocket of his long coat, its small head would pop out as it looks around the new world it is seeing for the first time. ?? Its favorite is MooMoo milk as it has already finished four bottles in a day. The day came to an end. ______________________ Next day. Julian woke up early and got ready to leave, Crystal who was sleeping next to him flew up and went into Julian''s new coat''s front pocket and popped its head out. Julian "Crystal are you ready?" Crystal mewed and nodded, Julian realized that Crystal is very intelligent and could clearly understand what he is saying from the beginning, it didn''t understand anything Professor Oak said but it could understand what Julian said. Julian ''It may be due to the Omniforce'' That was the only conclusion he came up with, he didn''t bother about it anymore. He walked out of his home and took out his trusty bike, his car is parked in the garage, he decided to take his bike as he doesn''t need his car in Sinnoh as both his girlfriends are in Kalos and are busy with their work. He drove towards theb to say his goodbye to his pokemons onest time. As he arrived outside he saw all his pokemons waiting for him. Julian "You all are here" He met his pokemons and gave them onest pat before saying his goodbye, he let them meet the others before leaving, Professor Oak also came to say his bye. Oak "Be careful and don''t lose that envelope" Julian "I won''t, don''t worry I won''t lose it" Julian finally leaves on his bike with his five chose pokemon with him _____________________ He soon arrives at the port to see his ship is already in the dock, he entered the ship parked his bike and walked in, to his surprise the captain of the ship is waiting for him, they knew that he is arriving so they decided to give him a grand wee. Captain "Wee Sir Julian, we hope you have a great time during your travel" Julian nodded his head and let them escort him towards his room. Days went by and Julian is enjoying his time in this luxury ship, he sometimes would get approached by beautiful women but he would reject them, as his love for Chloe and Daisy grows he feels less and less attracted to other women. He is currently standing at the bow of the ship looking in front and Infernape by his side and Crystal sitting on top of Infernape''s shoulder, just two days and he will be in Sinnoh, the ship had to actually change its route due to possible storms that might have rued during night time, so he is running two dayste. Julian "Who knows what Sinnoh might have for us, what do you say buddy?" Infernape gestures that he doesn''t know, Crystal is overly hyped for no reason and is always causing trouble for Gengar and Infernape, it would suddenly run off, luckily it doesn''t wander off too far from Julian and Infernape can easily find it. Gengar alsoes out of his shadows and look at the endless ocean. _____________________ Right under his ship, below the water surface, on the deepest part of the sea, a huge Wailord swims over the sea bed causing the anything that is lying on the seafloor to lift and float away with the underwater current, rocks, pebbles, small undiscovered pokemons, each one get''s washed up by the huge Wailord. Along with all these things, there is also an egg which is blue in color and small yellow spots which get lifted away and is washed up by the underwater current, luckily the egg has already matured and with the little pressure from the outside, the egg cracks. ______________________ Back to Julian, he is feeding Crystal as it drinks up all his supply of MooMoo milk he had, luckily the ship had tons of supply with them so he borrowed some. Julian ''Looks like I need to buy a huge amount of MooMoo milk and stash them up'' Julian though as he watched the little guy finish its whole bottle of milk and burp lightly. He sighed and put Crystal in his front pocket and let it sleep for now. The night was about to fall when suddenly there was a knock on the door, he opened the door to see a man who works in this ship, he is wearing a white uniform, Julian recognized this man as he had seen him with the captain. Man "Sir Julian, the captain wants to meet you" Julian "Why?" Man "It''s better if the captain exins it himself" Julian nodded and followed the man to the captain''s chamber, they soon arrived at the captain chamber, Julian saw the captain staring at a digital 3D map on his table as it disyed some Gyarados running wild. Julian "What is it, captain?" The captain looked at Julian and sighed in relief. Captain "Sir Julian I think we need your help?" Julian "My help? for what?" Captain "Our sources are saying that a group of Gyarados seems to be running rampage ahead of us, we cannot take a detour as the other areas are soon going to have heavy rain, we have no choice but to confront them" Julian "I see" Captain "These Gyarados are vicious, this isn''t the first time they have been spotted, they will attack anything that gets in their sites, they have already caused two-ship wreaks, the officers in Sinnoh are not strong enough to take them on and the elites are very busy with their work" Julian "I get it, continue forward, I will take care of them" Captain "Thank you very much" Julian nodded and walked outside to the bow of the ship to see the night sky, and how the moonlight is being reflected on the surface of the sea, he saw some Lumineon and Finneon, their fin shined and illuminated the area around them. Julian ''So they are Finneon and its evolution Lumineon, they are beautiful fish pokemons'' Soon he started to hear roars. Julian "So they are ahead, Gengar get ready" Gengar came out of his shadow andughed creepily as he looked at the direction of the roars. Chapter 245 - Crystals Mischief Julian is soon able to see the wild Gyaradoses storming around shooting Hydro Pumps and Hyper Beams everywhere. Soon the Gyaradoses noticed the ship heading towards them, they roared and charged towards the ship. ?? Julian "Gengar" Julian called out Gengar, Gengar floated up in the air and is ready to st all these Gyaradoses into oblivion, suddenly Crystal popped out its head and looked at the Gyarados charging towards them. It suddenly came out of his pocket and rushed towards the Gyarados. Julian "Crystal?" Julian was surprised by seen Crystal charging into the gang of huge Gyaradoses, Crystal stopped right in front of then, Gengar is right behind it and is ready to make a move if the Gyaradoses attack. The Gyaradoses got confused seeing this tiny pokemon in front of them. As one of the Gyaradoses tried to make a move, Crystal purred, suddenly the Gyarados fell into a trance, not only one but all the Gyarados fell into a trance and they lost all their rage and anger andpletely calmed down. Julian got surprised, he didn''t expect Crystal to calm down all the Gyarados with a single Pur. Julian "Gengar take care of then, Crystale back" Crystal turned and went back towards Julian and circled him happily, he could tell that Crystal did this for him as it understands what Julian wants. Gengar created a huge Shadow Ball and brought it down on the gang of Gyaradoses. They got sted away as the water rose high up in the sky and rain down, Crystal moved around Julian happily as it yed around with the drizzling water. The captain walked towards him with a huge smile on his face. Captain "Thank you Sir Julian we should be able to reach Sinnoh in two days, if the weather is clearer we might arrive there even faster" Julian nodded and walked back to his room, Gengar went into his shadow and disappeared from the captain''s site. Unknown to Julian something small was watching him from underwater, it was very curious about him and Crystal but it is too scared to approach Julian. ___________________ Julian''s wait is finally over as he sees the port in front of him, the only port in Twinleaf town, as it is the closest town to Professor Rowan''sb he decided to disembark here. The Captain came to personally say his goodbye and gave him lots of MooMoo milk, Julian took it as he needed to feed Crystal, it didn''t eat any solid food till now so he only gave it MooMoo milk. One thing he did notice though is that something is following them again, he knew it isn''t Mew as he could easily tell if Mew is around him. He didn''t sense any ill will from it so he didn''t do anything. The ship arrived at the dock and Julian disembarked, he took out his bike and rode off into Twinleaf town, the next town is Sandgem town where Professor Rowan lives. But first, he decided to visit Lake Verity, as the rumors say that the legendary pokemon Mesprit lives in it, it is also one of theke guardians of Sinnoh region. Julian "A pokemon created by Arceus, I wonder if I will be able to see it" Julian said and twisted the elerator on his bike''s handle to speed up but he decided to slow down as he felt the thing following him is very near, he wanted to find out what it is so he slowed down. From what he had seen so far he could tell it is a pokemon but which one he has no idea, it seems to be very good at hiding, he noticed that he couldn''t trace this pokemon''s position near water bodies, he is intrigued by this thing that is following him. Crystal seems to be doing its own business as it yed and bit down on Julian''s coat and yed with its hanging straps. The more Julian sees Crystal the more he is reminded of a baby kitten. They soon arrived at Lake Verity, it is a very bigke, the water is very clear, Crystal flew out of his pocket and goes into theke happily to y in the water. Julian just sighed and follows it, Gengar is also on the watch so that Crystal doesn''t get into trouble. Julian saw a Girafarig and its baby drinking water from theke, suddenly Crystal popped right in front of the and startled them, they ran away. Crystal mewed happily and circled theke, Julian just shook his head he could stop this little trouble maker, he is too scared to make it cry by saying something to it. Crystal looked down on theke and dived down into it, Julian got startled and told Gengar to keep an eye on it. Gengar nodded and followed behind Crystal into the water. Crystal went deeper into theke but didn''t find anything but it could sense a presence apart from Gengar and other pokemon in thiske, a very mysterious presence. Seeing that this thing didn''t want to y Crystal got disappointed and head back to the surface, as it got back to the surface followed by Gengar it caught the attention of another pokemon that is currently hiding, Crystal rushed towards its hiding spot and scared it out of its hiding. As Julian saw this hiding pokemon he got shocked. Julian "So this little one was the one that was following us the whole time". Chapter 246 - First Pokemon In Sinnoh Julian is surprised by seeing this pokemon, he doesn''t know why it is following him but what he saw next startled him. This pokemon started to cry, Crystal tilted its head and looked confused at it. ?? This pokemon is blue, its head is bigger than its body, there are yellow circles around its eyes, and two long antenna-like protrusion on top of its head. It''s a Manaphy, and it looks fairly young as well. Julian closed in to stop the Manaphy from crying, he patted its head and made it calm down, Manaphy looked at Julian with its big round eyes which still had some tear dew at the end. Julian "Little one are you lost?" Manaphy shakes its head denying andtched onto his hand, Crystal seems to be intrigued by Manaphy''s antenna and starts to touch and y with it, this cause Manaphy cry again. Luckily Crystal joins Manaphy and snuggles with it and calms it down. Julian ''System what can you tell me about this Manaphy?'' System ''This is a newborn one, only two days old'' Julian ''What? Only two days?'' System ''Yes'' Julian doesn''t know what to do now, he has to take care of two baby pokemons now, he gave MooMoo milk to Crystal and Manaphy so they can m down and let him think of something. Julian released his other pokemon so they could enjoy their time in this beautifulke The two babies then started to get familiar with each other while Gengar and Infernape are on the watch, Snox is just Snox as he just finds a nicefortable ce and lies down, Absol and Tyranitar just stayed near theke and cooled off. Julian wanted to figure out why Manaphy followed him and the best way is to let Infernape handle it, soon Manaphy bonded with his other pokemons as well, Infernape finally figured out why Manaphy followed them, he told Julian about it as soon as he figured it out. When Julian heard the reason behind Manaphy following him, he couldn''t tell if he is really lucky or just a coincidence. This Manaphy got stuck between those rampaging Gyarados and when Julian''s Gengar sted them of it started to follow them to be safe. Julian sighed and walked towards Crystal and Manaphy who were going round and round around a tree. Crystal went back to his favorite spot to stay and that is Julian''s front pocket, while Manaphy justtched onto his hands as it feltfortable around Julian, due to Manaphy''s nature it bonded very easily with Julian''s other pokemon as well. Julian "So do you want toe with me?" Manaphy happily nodded as it has already bonded very deeply with Crystal and Julian''s other pokemon. Julian took out a Pokeball and let Manaphy touch the button, Manaphy touched the button without thinking and it went into the Pokeball, Crystal looked at the Pokeball in astonishment. Julian didn''t put Crystal in a Pokeball as he saw Crystal enjoyed staying in his pocket. The capture is sessful and Julian released Manaphy outside so it can y more with others. Seeing no sign of Mesprit appearing Julian decided to leave. Julian "Ok guys its time to leave, he sent all his pokemons back to their Pokeball, only leaving Crystal and Gengar outside, Gengar went into his shadow and Crystal into his pocket, as he turned around to leave he felt something stare at him from the bottom of theke. He was not the only one, Crystal also sensed it and flew out of his pocket and flew towards theke, suddenly a portal opened in the middle of theke and Mesprit came out and looked at Crystal with astonishment in its eyes. Julian looked at Mesprit and realized why it didn''te out before. Julian ''It was scared toe out, having Gengar, Infernape, and Snox around, anything would get scared by their presence, Gengar is now in my shadow so it cannot sense him now. Mesprit looked at Crystal before going round and round around it, Crystal seems to enjoy this and also joined in with Mesprit. Julian just watched. Mesprit soon turned transparent and disappeared right in front of Julian''s eyes. Julian ''What happened?'' As he questioned he heard a st and then footsteps rushing towards him. Crystal flew back to his pocket and looked at the direction the st just happened. Soon Julian can see who this person is, he saw a ten-year-old girl wearing a ck top and pink skirt paired up with pink boots, she is also wearing a white cap. What''s more is that a Piplup is next to her, they seem to be running from something. Julian ''Isn''t she Dawn?'' Julian remembered who this girl is, she will be Ash''s traveling partner in Sinnoh. He then noticed there are now an awful lot of pokemons heading towards them. Julian ''What did she do?'' Soon Julian saw what was following them, it was a bunch of Ariados. He had no reason to interfere so he decided to watch it from the side and if things go wrong he will interfere, Julian knows that she has just started her journey so letting a new trainer face some hardship is always better than helping them and not let them experience what the outside world is. The stage was set, Dawn and Piplup got surrounded by a bunch of Ariados, they blocked off her escape route with their web strings, she has nowhere to run. Now she can only rely on herself and the pokemon by her side. Chapter 247 - Professor Rowan Julian watched as Dawn tried to get out of her situation, the Ariados surrounded Dawn and Piplup and blocked off their exit, they then started to get closer to Dawn and Piplup. After a quick-thinking Dawn distracts the Ariadoses with some pokemon food and makes Piplup attack the webs and make an exit for themselves. ?? Piplup shot some Bubble Beam and destroyed the webs and both of them tried to escape but some Ariadoses caught Dawn''s legs with their web strings and tried to drag her back. Dawn "Piplup, run away" The Ariadoses then shot Pin Missiles at Dawn, Piplup got in front of her and suddenly used Bide, it took all the attacks and fired it back at the Ariadoses. The Ariadoses were sent flying after being hit by that Bide. Julian ''Looks like I didn''t have to interfere'' Julian thought and walked away. He sat on his bike and rode towards Sandgem town. When he arrived outside Professor Rowan''sb he saw the windows were shattered. Julian "What happened here?" Julian said and got off his bike, he then saw a Staraptor bring in a Chimchar into theb. Julian ''These starter pokemons must have caused some trouble around here'' He thought and walked in, as he did he got noticed by the people working there and they got stunned seeing him, they thought as if they are dreaming. Professor Rowan is also there, so when he saw Julian enter he walked towards him. Rowan "Mr. Julian wee to Sinnoh, I hope you had a pleasant trip" Julian "I did, hope you are doing fine as well" Rowan "No need to worry I am fine,e in we can talk further afterward" Julian nodded and followed Rowan inside theb, thisb is very different from Professor Oak''s and Professor Birch''sb, all of them do research on different fields. Julian looked around and soon saw the two starters of the Sinnoh Pokemon, the Chimchar who he saw before and a Turtwig which is busy eating some pokemon food. Julian "These two seems to be very young and well-groomed" He said and approached the two pokemons. The assistant who was taking care of them got ttered. Assistant "Yes, I have to take care of them all day long, this Chimchar is a naughtiest one of the three" Julian nodded and bent down to the pokemon''s height. He brought out his Infernape as it would be the first time he will see someone of his species, Infernape came out and looked at the little Chimchar in front of him. Chimchar stared at Infernape in awe as his blue mes mesmerized it. Julian "I can''t believe you grew up so fast, you were just as tiny as this guy right here when I first saw you" Julian said and smiled at Infernape, Infernape nodded and looked at Chimchar. Chimchar seems to be very excited seeing Infernape as it wished to grow up and be an Infernape one day as well. Rowan looked at Infernape in admiration. Rowan "Mr. Julian your Infernape is the most magnificent Infernape I have ever seen, truly deserving the title as one of the strongest pokemon, his blue mes indicate that his control over his element is also at its peak" Julian "Thank you, Infernape has worked hard to reach where he is right now and I am very proud of him" Rowan nodded, he now had more respect for Julian as he could tell Julian cared a lot for his pokemons. Julian saw that there is one missing starter, Piplup. Julian "Did a trainer already choose Piplup as their starter?" Assistant "No, Piplup and Chimchar started to fight and they ran away from theb, luckily Staraptor brought back Chimchar, the new trainer is still out there looking for Piplup" Julian "I see" Julian ''Dawn has already met with Piplup so they should be back soon'' As he thought this, Dawn ran in with Piplup in her hand. Dawn "I am back" She walked in and saw Professor Rowan and his assistant and another young man wearing a ck coat. As she saw this man she got shocked. Dawn "I saw you on TV" She eximed and pointed her finger at Julian. Rowan "Ahem, Dawn its rude to point finger at someone" Dawn got embarrassed and put down her hand. Dawn "You are Sir Julian, I saw your battle in Ever Grande Conference and also your exhibition battle with the Champion of Sinnoh as well, I love your Milotic and Gardevoir they both are such elegant and beautiful pokemons" Dawn doesn''t seem to stop talking, Julian smiled awkwardly seeing this. Rowan "Ahem, Dawn you have found the third pokemon now its time to choose your starter" Dawn "YES" She gets excited and puts down Piplup on the table. Rowan "Now, choose your first pokemon" Dawn "I choose Piplup" She chose her first pokemon, the assistant soon documented this and registered Dawn as a new trainer. She soon left with her Piplup to start her journey. Julian remembered the personal envelope Professor Oak gave him to pass it to Professor Rowan, he took out the envelope and gave it to Professor Rowan. Julian "Here, Professor Oak told me to pass it to you" Rowan "I was waiting for this, Samual said you would arrive the day before yesterday, I thought you weren''ting" Julian "The ship had to make a detour to evade the storm" Rowan "I understand, you should take a rest, for now, Assistant escort Mr. Julian to the guest room" Assistant "Yes Professor" The Assistant then escorted Julian to his room, now that he is all alone he lies down on the bed and sighed. Julian "I already caught a pokemon in Sinnoh and it is a mythical one" He sighed and closed his eyes. Julian ''What Sinnoh has for me I wonder''. Chapter 248 - Another Journey Begins As Julian was trying to get some sleep he heard Dawn''s voice again. Julian ''Why is she back?'' ?? Julian got up from his bed and walked outside to find Pikachu in her arms and he seems to be hurt. Julian "Pikachu?" Julian rushed towards Pikachu to check on him. Julian "Where did you find him?" Julian asked Dawn. Dawn "Out in the forest, I was trying to catch pokemon, then suddenly this Pikachu came out of the bushes, I tried to catch it but the Pokeball didn''t work, so I guessed this Pikachu belongs to someone" Julian nodded and sighed, he checked Pikachu and he seems to be ok, just little hurt and tired. Julian "Someone, take Pikachu and get his treated" One of the assistants walked and took Pikachu with him into the recovery room. Julian "Did you find his trainer?" Dawn "No but I am nning to find him, he must be very worried" Julian nodded and headed towards the recovery room. Julian ''It must those idiots again, I have to do something about them'' Julian thought as he remembered about the team rocket idiots. Pikachu was soon brought back to his health, seeing Julian Pikachu greeted him, Crystal popped out its head and started at Pikachu with its big eyes. It flew out of his pocket and circled Pikachu before grabbing his tail, Pikachu suddenly got startled and released a Thundershock, electrocuting everyone in the room. Julian got scared thinking Crystal got hurt but to his surprise Crystal seems to be just fine and is giggling behind Pikachu. He noticed something else, Crystal''s red crystal is not surrounded by sparks and a light purple to red in the middle. Julian ''System what happened to Crystal?'' System ''Crystal, seems to have learned an electric type move, allowing it to turn into an electric type'' Julian ''Show its moveset'' System ''Crystal = Moveset - Pur, Thundershock'' Julian is really surprised to see this, he didn''t think Crystal will be able to learn a move so easily. Julian "Crystale back" Crystal''s red crystal went back to pure red and it returned to Julian''s pocket and buried its head and hid away. Everyone in the room is really surprised but no one talked. Julian "Pikachu go with Dawn and try to find Ash, he will be worried about you" Pikachu nodded and went towards Dawn. Julian "His trainer name is Ash, you should be able to recognize him, he was the one who battled me in the finals of the Ever Grande Conference" Dawn said her goodbye once again and this time with Pikachu with her. Julian decided to call a few people and tell them that he has arrived in Sinnoh, he called Daisy and Chole and informed them first then Professor Oak as well. The day soon came to an end and Julian decided to call it a day. ___________________ Next morning he got up early and was ready to leave when he saw Ash rushing towards the Lab, seeing Julian there Ash ran even faster. Ash "Did you see Pikachu? Team Rocket stole him from me" Julian "You should head towards Floaroma Town, Pikachu is with a new trainer called Dawn, they must be searching for you as well" Ash "Thanks" Professor Rowan alsoes outside and sees Ash. Rowan "You must be Ash, Professor Oak sent me your Aipom''s Pokeball" He gave Ash Aipom''s pokemon, Ash took it and ran away towards Floaroma town. Julian "You should call Dawn and tell her Ash ising to look for them" Rowan "I will do that, you should be safe during your travel as well" Julian "Don''t worry I will be fine" Julian says and sits on his bike and rides off. Crystal peeks out of his pocket and enjoys the fast wind hitting its face. Julian "Where should I go, I think, I should catch some pokemons and explore some forests nearby before heading towards a major city" Julian looked at the GPS to find the nearest gym, the nearest one is in Canve city but the gym there doesn''t except any trainer who has less than five badges. It is one of those gyms that have a certain requirement before challenging them. Julian "Canve city''s gym is not an option now so the first gym to challenge should be in Oreburgh city, the gym is a rock type gym, I should try to find a ground type pokemon or a grass type, I already have Manaphy a water type so I don''t have to worry about a water type pokemon" Julian said and closed his GPS. Julian ''Ah, it reminds me I haven''t checked Manaphy''s stats at all, let''s see, System show Manaphy''s stats'' System ''Affirmative'' ____________________ Manaphy Type - Water Level - 01 Bond - 30% HP - 50 Attack - 50 Defense - 50 Sp. Atk - 50 Sp. Def - 50 Speed - 50 Move set - Bubble, Tail Glow, Water Sport Ability - Hydration _____________________ Seeing Manaphy''s stats Julian is really happy. Julian ''Its a mythical pokemon, I expected nothing less, it also knows three moves from birth, its parents must have been very strong'' Manaphy are the only mythical pokemon that are known toy eggs, but the pokemon that emerges from that egg is a Phione. Nobody knows how Manaphys are born, Phione doesn''t seem to evolve as well, since there is very few research done on Manaphy as they are rarely seen, the world doesn''t know much about them. Since he nned to catch some ground type pokemon he decided to go near the valleys of Canve city as there are t nes and rocky caves around there, most ground type pokemons seem to thrive in such ces. He twisted his elerator and rode off faster. Chapter 249 - Meeting Him Again Since there are two ways to reach the innds of Canve, one is to go across Lake Verity and the other is from route 202 since he had to restock some things for him and his pokemons he decided to go with the route 202. While traveling he found a small store that sold many things he needed to he stopped by. ?? He got off from his bike and walked into the small shop, he didn''t expect this small shop to have everything, it had pokemon food from even hispany, there are lots of candies and Crystal''s eyes aretched onto them. It flew out of his pocket and bolted towards the candy jars kept on the shelves, luckily Julian is fast enough and caught Crystal before it broke anything. Julian "Crystal not now, I will give it to youter" Crystal put its head down in disappointment and went back into his pocket. As Julian looked around for the shopkeeper he found no one inside. Julian "Where could have they gone?" He wondered. Julian "Let me collect what I need first then I will pay the shopkeeper when they return" He said and started to collect some raw ingredients, even though he sells his pokemon food, he still likes to hand cook for them. As Julian is busy collecting stuff he didn''t notice a middle-aged man is standing right behind him with a smile on his face. As Julian finished collecting what he needed he turned around and got startled by seeing the middle-aged man. Seeing the middle-aged man his eyes went big. God "It''s been a while, isn''t it Julian" Julian "God" He didn''t expect to see him again. God "Hahahaha, sit down and join me for some tea time, I was getting bored" He said and walked toward the small tea table at the corner of the room, Julian joined him and sat down, it''s his third time meeting God and he has no idea what he did to talk with him. The cup in front of him is already filled with tea, Julian lifted it and started to drink. Crystal peeked out its head as it smelled the tea''s fragrance, it then saw the middle-aged man looking at it with a smile, Crystal quickly went back and hid from the middle-aged man, Crystal didn''t even notice the man before seeing him. God "You made something unexpected" He said. Julian knew he is talking about Crystal. Julian "I didn''t know this would happen" God "Fate is something that cannot be predicted, one will know what his fate was at the end of his journey, it was in written in the fate that this little thing was to be born and now it is with you" He said and smiled. Crystal peeked out its head once again and looked at the middle-aged man with curious eyes, it could tell that this man was not human nor pokemon. God "Come here" He said and beckoned. Crystal flew towards him and circled him to get familiar. Sensing no harm Crystal sat down on his shoulder. God "This little fellow is a curious one, I would love to see where it will take you too" Julian just nodded. Julian "I had something in my mind for a very long time and it''s been bothering me very much" God "I know what you want to ask, is it your feeling for Chloe?" Julian "Yes, I am not able to figure it out myself, why did I care for her so much even though we only hang out for a day" God "Are you sure about that?" Julian "What do you mean?" God "She might just be someone you might have known from your previous world, maybe someone you loved, who knows. You might not have been reincarnated but there might be others as well who were reborn" Julian "Do you mean" Julian asked as he thought about his past, he only loved one woman but he never got her love, now he is apletely new person he didn''t think about his previous life. God "Sometimes a memory a soul carries can never be erased, even if you severed your karma from that world you still have the feelings of that old man in you" Julian went silent as he thought about it. Julian "Do you mean Chloe is someone from my previous world as well, someone I loved before, could it be Mary?" He asked in astonishment. God "Indeed" Julianughed awkwardly. Julian "I don''t know what to think about it, I am not that old man any more and the person I fell in love is Chloe, let''s just keep it at that" God smiled and nodded. Soon they both finished their tea and it was time for God to leave. God "This time it will be a wild ride for you hope you are prepared" He said and disappeared. Julian just sat there and thought about what he said. Julian "A wild ride huh? I don''t know what it might be but I am waiting" He said andughed, he got up from his seat and tried to walk out of the shop but he was suddenly got poked by a stick on his back. He turned around and saw an old woman staring at him. Old Woman "Aren''t you going to pay for all those things?" Julian "Ah, here it is" He said and paid the money, he is a little embarrassed. Crystal giggled seeing this, it went back into his pocket and cozies itself and fell asleep. Chapter 250 - Search For Gible Julian is currently on his way towards the ins of Canve city, during his ride he was spotted by a few people but he was too fast for them to notice his face, after riding for a while he finally arrived at his destination. A t in which has a lot of caves containing many pokemons, he is searching for a particr one today. ?? Putting his bike inside his special pouch and walked into the in, he saw somemon pokemons around here, Digletts, Sandsh, Hippopotas, and another regional ground type pokemons around but Julian is trying to find one of the hardest species of pokemon in Sinnoh, they are regional but they mostly hide from humans and very hard to train as they have a tendency to look down on their trainers if they are not worthy enough to train them. Julian is searching for a Gible, he always wanted to train one, he had done some research about then and he found that female Gible are somewhat easy to train but male Gibles are hard, they are powerful and aggressive pokemons when they reach their final stage. Just the pokemon Julian is looking for. Having no luck finding one outside the ins he decided to venture into one of the caves the local said to have spotted some Gibles around. Since he wanted one he decided to go in and find a Gible, he won''t turn back until he finds one. He has done a lot of research on Gible and found that they are likend sharks, they like to be underground with their fin-like horn sticking out. He soon found the cave and entered the cave, as he did a storm of Zubats rushed out of the cave in a hurry. Julian ''I hate Zubats when they do this'' He thought and walked into the cave, determined to catch a Gible. Crystal popped out its head after sleeping for a while, seeing they are walking into a dark cave it got excited and tried to get out of Julian''s pocket but Julian stopped it. Julian "Stay right there, I don''t want you to get lost" Crystal puffed its cheeks and went back into his pocket and angrily looks at Julian. He walked further into the cave and found himself surround by Zubats and Golbats hanging from the ceiling of the cave. Since they were sleeping he had to be careful and not wake them up or they would go crazy and might get hurt. As deep he got into the cave the weirder it got, there were some broken parts from which sunlight could pass and light up the cave, he saw grove in the ground which showed possible pokemon trails but Julian is not sure what pokemon made them as all ground pokemons made a simr type of patterns when they move underground. After taking a careful look at the area he found that these trails are fresh and it could lead him to the pokemon he is looking for or maybe not, this trail might have been made by some Diglett or Dugtrio but it was still better than nothing for Julian. After following the trail he finally came to an end, what is in front of his eyes is not another cave opening, it could be an exit for him. He walked out of the cave to find another opennd, thisnd is outside the borders of Canve city, next to the sea, thend here seems to be very fertile, a paradise for Ground-type pokemons. Julian immediately noticed lots of movements underground, indicating that this ce thrives with ground type pokemon. Julian ''This is a perfect ce to find rare ground type pokemons, I might just be lucky and spot one'' He thought and walked forward, on his way he encountered some aggressive pokemons that were the ruler of their territory but just sensing Gengar''s presence for a second made them back off without a second thought. He roamed carefully around this hugend filled with ground type pokemons, he noticed two wild Hippowdons battling over the supremacy over thend, and these battles looked verymon around this area, he even saw pokemons of different species face off to get the betternd. He decided to head deeper into the area as he couldn''t find any traces of Gible around here. After looking around this hugendmass for half a day he finally found some clues, traces of Dragon energy, Gibles are Dragons before they are Ground-type so sensing Dragon energy is a positive sign, feeling that he might be able to encounter one Julian bes excited and starts to find more traces that could lead him tonds ruled by a Garchomp and maybe he could find a Gible which is perfect for his team. Garchomp are Pseudo-Legendary pokemons, they have powers equivalent to second rate Legendary Pokemons, and they are as hard to find as legendary pokemons. Julian had to keep an eye even in the sky as Garchomps are known to fly at very high speed and they are capable of splitting trees with their des during their flight, if he notices a Garchomp flying in the sky he could follow it and be able to find its nest. Julian soon finds more traces of possible Gible sightings, as he is currently standing on top of a ground that seems to have gone through a battle, there is lingering dragon energy around the battlefield and, the energy is very powerful indicating it must have been a battle between two powerful Garchomps. If he is in a Garchomp''s territory he might encounter a Gible soon. Julian ''I am surprised that not many people know about this ce'' He thought. What he doesn''t know is that many people cannot even reach this deep into thisnd as they would get attacked by the pokemons around this area. It is due to Gengar''s aura that many pokemons are keeping their distance from him, Julian also noticed this and told Gengar to not release his aura if a pokemon is not attacking them so he will be able to encounter a pokemon soon. ____________________ Far from Julian about 2 Km away from his two Garchomps are having a furious Aerial battle, this battle seems to be for the territory and possibility to mate as well, one is a powerful grown Garchomp who is the ruler of this territory and the other is a young adult who is challenging the current ruler for thisnd and its mates. Their battle is devastating and huge explosions are taking ce. As their battle takes ce a little fellow is watching them with excitement in his eyes. Chapter 251 - Battle Between Garchomps The two Garchomps are going all out destroying everything in their path, on is an experienced veteran and the other is a bold and powerful young one with endless stamina. The fight between these two Garchomps caught the attention of many pokemons but they kept their distance, Garchomps were the most powerful pokemon in thisnd and no one would want to get involved between their fights. ?? The little guy who is watching them fight is very excited and is following them where ever they went, the two Garchomps soon arrived back to the area where the current territory of the current Ruling Garchomp is. His mates are also there carefully watching the fight if the young Garchomp wins he will be the ruler of thisnd and everything will belong to him, he will chase away the young male Gibles from the pride as they are children of the previous ruler, the female Garchomps would be sad if that happens but they will carry on living with their new ruler. So a battle between two Male Garchomps can be very brutal sometimes. The little guy that has been following them for some time also arrives at the maind where all the female Garchomps and Gibles are present, Gabites are mostly sent out on the hunt for the pride. The little guy who has been following the two Garchomps around thend also arrives and looks around to realize he is back to his home. One of the female Garchomp present near the area sees the little guy and calls him back, the little guy is also a newborn Gible but he is special, instead of being normal grayish-blue in color he had ck skin along with bright red belly. Seeing his mother spotted him the little Gible tried to escape but the female Garchomp got to him before he could run. She grabbed him and went back to the pride and put him with the other newborn Gibles, he is the oldest of them all so he had his ways around them. Seeing his father battle was really exciting for him, he wanted to fly in the sky like his father as well. He looked at one of his siblings and grinned, he told them to be quiet or he will bite off their head, being bullied by their older brother they started to cry, this grabbed the attention of the other Garchomps around the area and they came to tend the crying ones. Seeing his chance he used Dig and escaped again. The little guy once again began to follow the battling Garchomps as they left the area to fight somewhere else. The little ck Gible is swift so he rushed through the ground keeping his eyes stuck on the two Garchomps. ________________________ Julian is finding more clues and traces of Garchomp sightings, he found battlends that are destroyed and the marks seem to be very fresh. Julian "All these traces show that a battle is going one somewhere between two Garchomps, I read that they are social Pokemon and they live in pride ruled by one dominant male, young male adults are chased out of the pride once they reach maturity while the young females join the hunting group." Julian had ready carefully about Garchomps behavior in wild, not many have been documented but the ones that are present showed the same. Julian ''They are just like a pride of lions, the dominant male has to defend the pride from foreign invading males if they lose their children are chased away from the pride and they have to rely on their own, well at least they don''t kill the other male''s cubs like lions'' Julian thought and continued his search, his waiting was about to end as the two Garchomps are heading towards his direction. After a minute Julian hears the sound of continuous explosions. Julian ''A battle, it must be them'' He thought and rushed towards the source of the sound, he soon arrived on top of a destroyed hill, it has freshly made creators and destroyednd filled with cracks and charred by mes. Julian saw what he was looking for quite a while, he saw the two Garchomps fighting with full power. He carefully observed them and soon concluded. Julian ''One of them surly has experience and has battled a lot while the other is a young one with lots of vitality and power, but it won''t win, the veteran will win this he is much moreposed while the young one is using too much power where he doesn''t need to use it'' Julian already knows who the winner is, he now just have to follow them until a winner is decided. He sits down and takes out a chocte bar he bought from the small shop and started to eat, Crystal pops out its head and take a small bite from it as well and it loves it. The battle seems to being to an end the more experienced Garchomp rushed towards the young Garchomps and tried to attack with a Dragon Chop but the young one moved away and tried to attack with a Dragon pulse, but the more experienced Garchomp moved away andnded a powerful Dragon Tail right on its face and sent it crashing on the ground. The young Garchomp got nted on the ground and fainted but it soon regained its consciousness and started angrily at its opponent, it then flew away after getting defeated. The other Garchomp flew back to its pride. Julian "Its time to follow it" Julian said and jumped from the hill straight to the ground, as he was about tond his leg touched something and he lost his bnce and went face-first to the ground. Julian ''God this is embarrassing'' He thought and got up, he looked at the thing that his foot met in mid-air. Chapter 252 - Gible He saw the thing that he stepped on and he is very surprised, he saw a ck Gible rubbing its head. Julian ''A ck Gible, I didn''t even notice it due to the excitement of finding a Garchomp atst'' ?? The Gible started angrily at Julian and jumped at him and bit his leg hard. Julian "Ahhh" He didn''t expect the Gible to bite him all of a sudden, he shook his leg and got Gible off him but Gible quickly dug into the ground and escaped in a jiffy. Julian "Wait" Julian said and chased after the Gible, he had finally found one and it seems to be very different, it''s not a shiny, maybe just a Garchomp with darker skin. He didn''t need any special one, he could train anyone and make it powerful. He chased after it as he doesn''t want to go on another search of trails. He locked onto Gible''s aura and chased after it, he soon came across a hill where the Gible ran of too, he quickly climbed it up to see something unexpected. He saw a group of Garchomps surrounding another Garchomp, he had seen this one before, it was the one who lost the battle, in its hand is a young Gible, the other Garchomp seems to be worried about the little Gible and are not attacking the Garchomp in the middle. The leader Garchomp who won that battle is staring angrily at the young opponent Garchomp. The young Garchomp wants it to surrender or it is threatening to kill the little Gible. Julian carefully looked at this scene, this was his first time seeing a pride of Garchomps and feud between them is never recorded, so seeing this a new experience for him. He noticed the ck Gible he followed slowly sneaking behind the invader Garchomp. Julian ''What is this little guy thinking?'' Julian carefully watched the Gible get close to the Garchomp without it noticing. Julian is very impressed by how good Gible''s sneaking skill is, the Gible opened its mouth and suddenly attacked with a Dragon Breath on its back. The invader Garchomp didn''t expect to be attacked from the back and from a Gible at the least, it got hurt by the Dragon Breath and roared, it let go of the Gible in its hand while it is suffering from pain. As soon as the Gible got released all the Garchomps charged at the Invader Garchomp, but it was a little faster, it turned around at grabbed the ck Gible. Seeing its son being caught by the invader the leader roared and made everyone stop. The Invader Garchomp looked angrily at the ck Gible, little Gible didn''t give a fuck and again attacked the Garchomp with another Dragon Breath right on its face. Seeing this Julian almostughed, seeing how brave the little guy is, he is captured by that Garchomp but he still dared to attack it. The Garchomp got angry and roared and try to kill the little guy. Julian "Gengar, take over" As soon as Julian said this, Gengar came out of his shadow, suddenly the whole area went cold and every pokemon present in the area felt chills running down their spine. Gengar "GEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGE" Gengarughed as his shadow became bigger and bigger as it went over the whole pride of Garchomp. Feeling the dark, cold aura all the Garchomps froze on the spot and looked up the hill, they saw a dark shadow growingrger andrger, with its scary red eyes and creepy smile, all of them felt danger and fear. Even the Invader Garchomp froze and looked at Gengar with fear in its eyes. Gengar "GEGEGEGEGE" Gengar''sugh made it even worse as the newborn Gibles in the area started to cry, the only one who didn''t seem to be fazed by this is the ck Gible who looked at Gengar in awe, he could tell by looking at Gengar and how powerful he is. He looked at his dad and saw that even his dad is frozen on the spot, the one who thought to be the strongest is also frozen on the spot by the presence of this monster in front of him. Gible also noticed Julian in front of Gengar and wondered who this human is. Julian "Gengar, bring it down" Gengar bolted towards the invader Garchomp and went into its shadow, the Garchomp felt chills as Gengar''s arm suddenly caught its legs and started to drag it into the shadow, seeing the Garchomp being sucked into the Shadow other Garchomps also backed down. Gengar is pulling the Invader Garchomp to his own shadow dimension, as hepletely mastered his move Dimension Trap, he was able to ess his shadow dimension, a dimension where he is the sole ruler of it. Being pulled in the dimension itself caused the Garchomp to faint, seeing this Gengar got bored, he thought he would have some fun but this Garchomps fainted before that since it was no use of him Gengar threw away the Garchomp far away until it couldn''t be seen as all. Gengar came out of his dimension and stood in front of the pride of Garchomps, the Garchomps backed away as they didn''t know what this Gengar want, they only know that the pokemon in front of them is a monster. But the little ck Gible has apletely different take on it, he walked towards Gengar and greeted him. His lifted his small hand and waved at Gengar to grab his attention, Gengar looked down at the small guy and grinned. Gengar [You are a brave one aren''t ya?] Gible [I also want to be as strong as you] Gible''s father looked at this and shouted at Gible toe back, Gible looked at his father then at Gengar. Suddenly he noticed Julian walk towards them, the leader of the pride also noticed Julian and became wary, he had seen humans but he didn''t expect one toe so far into thend, it meant that he is strong enough to survive alone in this harshnd. Julian "Gengare back" Gengar turned into a ck shadow and returned into his shadow, now Julian is standing in front of the ck Gible. Julian looked at the pride''s leader and made eye contact. Julian "I want to take this little guy with me, I know he won''t stay in the pride for long, its better if he is with me, I will train him to be as strong as Gengar" The Garchomp leader understood what Julian said, they are intelligent pokemon, they could understand human speech even if they can''t talk, he looked at his son. Once Gible bes a Gabite he has to leave the Pride and be stronger by its own if Julian really can train Gible to be as stronger as the Gengar he saw before he has no problem in that. Julian bent down and looked at Gible. Julian "You are a feisty one and you have a powerful bite, just the one I am looking for,e with me and you will be as strong as Gengar right here" Julian said and pointed at his shadow. Gible looked at his shadow as saw two red eyes staring at him with a grin on his face. The Gible turned around and looked at his family than his father, his father nodded. Seeing his father nod Gible became excited and nodded as well. Seeing him agree Julian took out a Pokeball and touched its button on Gible''s head, Gible went into the Pokeball, it beeped three times and finally stopped after a confirmation beep, the catch is sessful. Chapter 253 - Heading Towards Jubilife City Julian has finally found a Gible he was searching for long, he walked away from the pride of Garchomp, he took out his bike to ride towards the cave he came through. It is already evening so he decided to camp here today, he didn''t want to spend his night inside a cave which is filled with wild bats and he doesn''t want to get annoyed by them as they are nocturnal creatures. ?? He set up a camp quickly under the stary sky and released his pokemons, Gible is new to the family so he got surprised seeing huge pokemons around him, he looked around and saw Snox just sleeping there, he then saw Tyranitar and how massive he is and the aura of pure dominance is pulsing around him, then there is Absol who is majestic and has an aura of confidence around him, he has already met Gengar, then he sees Infernape, for some reason he could tell Infernape is the strongest one here. Gible then turned around and looked at Tyranitar and charged towards him and used Iron Heat, Tyranitar is confused seeing this, Gible is trying to figure out where he stands against Tyranitar. Tyranitar looks at Julian to ask what to do. Julian [Just let him be, he will soon get tired] Gible''s attacks did not affect Tyranitar, he soon got tired and realized that Tyranitar is not even paying attention to him. Seeing this Gible gets angry and starts to ignore Tyranitar and then puts his attention on the smaller pokemons around, he looks at Manaphy and Crystal who are ying with each other. Seeing Gible join them they greeted him, soon the little ones started ying. Julian started to prepare food for the young ones, food for his old pokemons are already stored, smelling the cooked food, Snox who is sleeping started to drool and moved to cause the three small pokemon who were ying on his belly to get startled, they have never seen this fat blob of pokemon move at all but seeing his move now they got startled, Snox got up causing the ground to shake a little. Julian "Snox you finally woke up, wait a minute I will get your food" He said and continued cooking for the little ones, as it finished he gave them their food and they started to munch it down, all three of them loved the food, Gible even tried to take away Manaphy''s bowl but Manaphy shot some Bubble Beam at him and sent him away. Julian then pulled out a veryrge bowl that is filled with food, this is Snox''s one time meal, once he eats this much he won''t eat for weeks as he will be busy sleeping. Snox walked towards his bowl and lifted it high and gulped down the whole bowl in one go causing the little pokemons to be surprised. They had never seen this huge mass of muscle move but now he is standing on his leg and gulping down a huge bowl of food in one go. After finishing, Snox looked around to see three very tiny pokemonpared to him and waved at them, then went back to sleep as usual. Seeing this Julian just shook his head, Snox is like a sloth but he is still very reliable. Julian spent time with his new pokemons and bonded with them so they don''t feel like outsiders, he let them familiarize with his older pokemons. Crystal was fine as it seemed it didn''t fear anything, Manaphy had this unique ability to befortable with any type of pokemons, Gible is little different, he would try to pick a fight with Tyranitar to show of his strength but would getpletely ignored by Tyranitar. This was Gible''s way of bonding with others, rest of the time he would be busy chasing Crystal and Manaphy as they y along. As the sun set down and the pokemons of the night got active Julian went to sleep after sending the little ones back to their pokemons, he left his other pokemons outside so that a wild pokemons don''t attack while he is sleeping. ________________ Next day arrived as the sun rays hit Julian''s face, he woke up and realized that he is camping outside, it''s been months since he camped outside, he got up and looked around, Infernape is already up and training, as usual, his other pokemons are still sleeping. After giving them their breakfast Julian decided to leave. Julian "Ok, its time to go, back to your Pokeball" He sent them back to their pokeballs, Crystal is in his pocket and he walks into the cave to get back on the road and head towards Oreburgh city. On his way back from the cave he saw the same as usual, Golbats and Zubats hanging upside down and some Digletts and Dugtrio moving underground. He soon got out of the cave and soon hit the road on his bike towards Oreburgh city. Sinnoh is very different from Kanto and Hoenn, he saw many new pokemons he hasn''t seen before in real life, the pokemons here in Sinnoh are very vibrant, he noticed few of them had stylish haircuts and wearing colorful dresses, he then noticed a board on the street. Julian ''A pokemon contest is being held in Jubilife city, should I go and check it out? well I need to find a pokemon center so I might head there as well'' Julian thought and rode towards Jubilife city, he wanted to register for the league and that would be done in a pokemon center. Since the nearest center is in Jubilife city why not go there and check out the contest here in Sinnoh as well. Chapter 254 - Reaching Jubilife After a day of travel Julian finally reached Jubilife city, it is about to be night so he decided to get a hotel, he found a five-star hotel near the pokemon center so he walked in. When he walked towards the receptionist to get himself a room. ?? When the receptionist working there cursed herself in her thoughts about workingte today noticed a handsome young man walking towards her, she quickly refined herself to talk to this young man, she then got a clear view of his face and got stunned. She couldn''t believe her eyes. Receptionist "Am I dreaming?" She asked herself. Julian walked towards her and stood in front of her. Julian "Can I get a room?" He asked politely. Hearing Julian the receptionist got startled and looked at him with wide eyes. Receptionist "Are you real?" She asked. She couldn''t believe Julian is standing in front of her. Julian "Yes, I am, now can I get a room?" Julian said. Seeing that it is Julian, the Receptionist wanted to hide her self in a hole due to the embarrassment but she cannot run away from her job. She quickly looked through some records and gave him the keys to one of the more luxury rooms in their hotel. Julian took the keys and walked away. The receptionist kept looking at the direction he went and soon snapped out of it. Receptionist "I have to inform the manager" The receptionist quickly picked up the phone next to her and made a call to her manager. ___________________ Julian entered his room, seeing the room he nods in acknowledgment as the room is big and specious there is a nice view of the whole city from here, the air conditioner is great and the bed seemed to be good as well. He took a quick bath and started to watch some TV. Going through some channels he finally stopped on one, the channel seems to be broadcasting a live battle that is being currently held in Veilstone city. The battle is between Cynthia and Flint. Flint is one of the members of the elite four and the other is, of course, the champion of Sinnoh, Cynthia. The battle seems to be for the championship title, Elite four have the right to challenge the champion whenever they want for their title. If the champion agrees to the challenge the match will be held to see if a region will have a new champion or not. Julian "The battle seems to have just started, let''s see how good this Cynthia is?" Julian said and pulled out some snacks from his dimension pouch and sat down on the bed. Crystal popped out its head smelling the fragrance of the snacks and floated down and sat down next to Julian and bent down to grab a big chunk of a chip with its two-hand. Julian smiled seeing this and went back to watching the battle. Flint sent out his Infernape while Cynthia sent out her Garchomp, Julian is focused. Flint made his mobe first with a Mach Punch, Garchomp didn''t avoid it but took it head-on than brought down Dual Chop on Infernape. The battle went on as the whole battlefield is filled with cracks and destroyed stops, at the final moment Garchomp uses Dragon Rush and carries Infernape to the sky, then brings it down to be mmed on the ground. Infernape faints. Cynthia wins and holds onto her champion position firmly, showing that she is still the strongest trainer in Sinnoh. Julian is impressed by how good Cynthia is. Julian "She seems even stronger than Lance" Julian had never met a trainer stronger thatnce, so seeing Cynthia made him excited. Julian "I wonder how good she will fare against my pokemons when they grow up strong and powerful" He says and looks at Crystal to see it finish the first chip it had taken before. He now needed to eat dinner so he decided to call room service but suddenly he heard the doorbell ring. Julian "Who might this be?" He questioned and walked towards the door to see who is the one outside his door, he opened it to find a middle-aged man wearing a ck suit outside smiling. Manager "Mr. Julian I am the manager of this hotel, I didn''t know you would being so I wasn''t here to greet you, please ept this as a gift" The manager said and signaled the woman by his side to give it. The woman who was staring at Julian snapped out and walked towards him and gave him the bouquet in her hand, he took it and looked at the manager. Julian "It''s ok, you don''t have to bother yourself" Manager "Yes Sir, do you need something else?" Julian "Yes, send me something to eat, anything will be fine, just for me" Julian said and looked at the Manager. The manager nodded and told the woman next to him to inform the chef in the hotel, the manager also made an exit leaving Julian alone. He sighed and closed the door, soon the food came and he had his dinner, the day ising to an end so he decided to call it a day. He will visit the pokemon center tomorrow and register for the league and do a small checkup on his small pokemons. Julian "Crystal get back to sleep" He said and went to sleep as well. Chapter 255 - Contest In Sinnoh Julian woke up prettyte today, the sun has already risen high in the sky, he opened his eyes and looked around, he saw that it''s already 10 AM. Julian ''I slept for too long'' ?? He thought and got up, took a quick shower and put Crystal in his pocket who is still sleeping. On his way outside the hotel, he had to be careful to not catch public attention, even though he was used to all the attention he is getting, it''s still better to avoid public eyes. He put on a cloth mask over his mouth and walked out. He soon entered the pokemon center, the pokemons center seems to be same as any other pokemon center he has seen, a nurse joy standing at the desk with her Chansey beside her, there are some trainers beside her receiving their pokemons, some of the trainers are waiting for their pokemons to be healed and some are still waiting in the queue. He walked towards Nurse Joy and gave his trainer card to her. Julian "Help me register for the league" Nurse Joy smiled and took the card and looked at the photo and got stunned, she then looked at Julian. Julian lowered his mask and signaled her to stay silent, she nodded and quickly registered him for the league, she didn''t expect to see Julian today, she thought it must be her lucky day. He then passed two of his pokeballs to her to give them a quick check. She took the pokeballs very carefully and ced them on a machine which scans the Pokeball and disys the readings of the pokemon''s health, seeing the results were great and both his pokemon are healthy she gave them back with a smile along with his training card. Julian "Thankyou" He said and was about to turn around. Nurse Joy "Can I have an autograph?" She asked. Julian turned around and nodded. Julian "Sure" She passed him a notebook with a pen, he signed it and gave it back to her then walked away, now he wants to head towards the contest hall as he wants to see how the contests are held in Sinnoh. Julian then found his way into the VIP lounge, when he walked in he saw few old women sitting around a table drinking tea andughing and talking with each other, on the other side are old men talking about politics stuff, there were some young men and women and they had their group of their own. Julian''s arrival also caught their attention, they were curious who this person is because he is wearing a face mask over his nose and mouth. Julian ignored them and sat down alone on a couch near the ss where he could get a clear view of the whole stage. After waiting for a while the contest began. The host of the contest Marian, she soon starts to announce the beginning of the contest then introduced the judges. Julian had to wait for a while before everything was settled. He kept looking around, he was impressed by how grandly this hall is decorated. Julian ''Grand Festival seems to be very important in Sinnoh, it might be evenparable to a Grand Conference league'' Unlike other regions, Sinnoh seems to give a lot of importance to its Grand festival, it may be due to how rich Sinnoh ispared to other regions. Sinnoh''s revenue is huge that is why it has one of the most advanced technologies in the world. The contest began as the first contestant walked in. She is a young girl with short orange hair. Marian introduced her. Her name is Zoey, Julian had a little memory of her, he knew he had seen her before but he couldn''t remember her name, his memories soon got jogged and he remembered who this girl is. Julian ''She should be one of Dawn''s rival, I wonder what she will do'' Julian thought and started to watch the show, he was surprised by what happened next, as the pokemons came out of her Pokeball it was surrounded by special effects which seem to being from within the Pokeball. She finished her performance and the judges gave a very positive remark. One after the other contestant came and went, Julian is getting a little tired right now, he couldn''t find anything interesting. He thought he would get some nice ideas he could pull off during a battle but he was disappointed. As he thought of leaving he heard the name of the next contestant. Marian "Our next contestant is Ash" Julian was surprised seeing Ash, he ran out and sent out his Aipom, it came out as starts surrounding it sparkled. Ash "Aipom use Swift" Aipom then used swift and hit the special effect starts causing it to burst into tiny small fragments creating a stunning scene. Ash then instructed it to perform a double team and end it with Focus Punch. When Julian saw this an idea clicked in his head. Julian ''Nothing less expected from him, hees up with weird but effective ideas'' Julian though and imagined thebination of Double Team and any other physical move. The opponent will surely fall into a tough spot trying to figure out a counter, but Julian has to figure out which move would go perfectly with a Double Team. Chapter 256 - The End Of The Contest Julian then decided to continue watching for a while, he wanted to see what Ash will do in the next round if he gets selected. Soon the other contestant also participated, Dawn also finished her performance, after the first round was over the results were soon announced. ?? To Julian''s surprise Ash made it to the second round, he saw one more person who is in the contest and it is Jessie, the idiot from team rocket. She seems to be very unique in her presentation as well. Soon after the results were announced the next round began in a moment, this round is a contest battle, points are scored by how well a pokemon executes their moves and how effective they are in countering their opponent. Julian sighed because he knew Ash is going to lose, he is a very straight forward kid, when he battles he forgets everything and only focuses on battle. The sequence of the battle and who will face who also got decided by aputer, Ash will be facing Zoey. After a few minutes both Ash and Zoey walked into the stage and the battle began, their stats got disyed on the screen above them. The battle started, Ash chooses his Aipom and Zoey chose her meow, Ash started first and attacked with a Focus Punch, Zoey has already experienced how to do a contest battle and tries to use this straight forward attack from Aipom for their advantage. meow used its spring-like tail to grab Aipom''s tail stopping the focus punch then it extended its tail and hit an Iron Tail right on Aipom''s face and sent it flying. Ash made his move and told Aipom to attack using Swift while it was in the air, meow got hit my multiple starts and was sent rolling back on the ground. The battle was going well but due to Zoey''s unusual way of contest battling Ash was soon put in a tough stop and he has lost a lot of points. Ash doesn''t give up, neither does Aipom and it charges towards meow with full power using Focus punch. Unluckily the timer came to a stop indicating the winner of this battle as Zoey. Julian ''That meow would have been seriously injured if that focus punch had connected'' Julian had already predicted the oue of this battle, but he might have proven wrong if the timer didn''t go off. If that Focus punch had connected, that meow would have been nted into a wall. Julian ''He is better of sticking to gym battles, I wonder why he participated in this contest?'' He looked carefully then he remembered something, Ash will give his Aipom to Dawn as it wants to participate in contest battles. Remembering what will happen Julian smiled and waited for the whole contest to end, at the end it was Zoey vs Jessie in disguise, at the end of it the orange hair girl won her second ribbon. He found some interesting things and inspired him toe up with somebination moves. He didn''t regret wasting his timeing here. Julian ''I should go now and train Gible, I still haven''t even looked into his stats till now'' He thought and walked out of the contest hall, to his surprise it is already 5 PM, he didn''t even notice how time flew by so fast. While exiting he saw Ash and his friend saying their goodbye to Zoey, he ignored them and rode off, his next destination is Oreburgh city, where he will have his first gym battle. ___________________ Its night time and Julian is camping inside a forest, he had left Jubilife city pretty early, his pokemons are sitting around the firece and enjoying their meal, Julian looks at his new pokemons, Crystal, Manaphy and Gible. He has to start training them so they can grow stronger and will be able to stand tall and strong if they ever fall in a tough situation. Julian decided to check Gible''s stats as he didn''t focus on it before. Julian ''System show Gible''s stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Gible Type - Dragon/Ground Level - 05 Bond - 40% HP - 60 Attack - 80 Defense - 40 Sp. Atk - 70 Sp. Def - 40 Speed - 40 Move set - Dragon Breath, Tackle, Sand Attack, Dig Ability - Sand Veil, Rough Skin _______________________ Julian is pleased, Gible''s physical attack is very high but he doesn''t know the right moves to take advantage of such high Attack stats. Julian ''I should teach him some physical Dragon-type moves and increase his defenses, he needs work on that'' As for Crystal and Manaphy, he has alreadye up with a training regime, they would have to increase all their stats simultaneously as they both could be powerful physical and special attacked simultaneously. Julian has never trained a pokemon who has an equal distribution of stats across the board but now he has to train two of them, this might be a little challenging to him but he is up to the challenge. After they finished their food Julian looks at them. Julian "From tomorrow all of you will start training so be ready" The three tiny pokemons nod their head, Gible is the most excited out of them as he wants to grow stronger and one day turn into a Garchomp and fly high in the sky. Chapter 257 - Training It''s early morning and Julian is up and ready, he is making the morning breakfast for his pokemons, after cooking he brought them out and made them eat a lot as they will go through a lot today. First time training is always hard so they might get tired so Julian put a lot of nutrients and protein in their food today so they don''t feel pain and exhausted while training. ?? After they had their breakfast, Julian left his older pokemons to train on their own while he looks after the little ones. Crystal, Manaphy and Gible are now standing in front of Julian in a straight line looking at him with their big eyes, expecting something new. Julian "Ok, now let''s start your training, I know all of you are excited to be as strong as others so you have to give it your all" The little pokemons jumped excitedly and nodded their head, seeing them so excited Julian sighed and started to train them. He decided to teach Iron Head and Dragon w to Gible, starting with a steel type move will be very useful to increase Gible''s defense so he chose Iron Head, as for Dragon w, he needed one because he is a Dragon, a physical attacking Dragon. As for Crystal, he trained it in both strength and endurance and slowly buildup its body to get stronger and with a stronger body, it will be able to learn powerful moves as well. As for Manaphy, he decided to train it in how to channel its energy so it can be able to have a clear grasp of its element and the uses of it, Water is a really good way to protect oneself from physical moves as they greatly reduce the speed and power behind a move. Julian spent the whole morning training them, he then gave them their lunch and let them sleep as they are very tired, Crystal and Manaphy have grown a little stronger from all that training, as they are still at the lowest of their level, growing stronger at an early stage is very easy, to reach the limit and beyond is very hard. Same could be said for Infernape, he is just a few levels behind from reaching his limit and in future possibly breaking it but right now he still has to work very hard to advance just one stage, the stronger one gets the harder it bes to grow. That is why many pokemons stop getting strong after reaching a certain level, having a trainer and coordinating with them helps them advance further, once they get to understand their element and how gracefully and easily one can use them, the faster they will grow strongerpared to others of their same kind who are equally as strong as them. Luckily they have Julian and he will be able to train their body to their full potential and that will aid them in understanding their powers much better, the body is the main vessel that holds all their energy and if the body is in perfect condition they would be able to understand their powers much better. The three pokemons slept next to each other on top of Snox''s belly, not caring about anything. Since they have worked hard Julian let them be. When they woke up they saw it was already night and Julian is making food for himself, they soon started to y after getting refreshed by that long sleep. While eating he watched them y and run around the field, the day soon came to an end and he had to call it a day. ____________________ Next morning he packed up after giving his pokemons their food and hit the road again, on his way whenever he stopped he would train his pokemons so that they don''t learn to ck away. The only pokemons that getaway by cking off is Snox as he seems to grow more powerful every time he wakes up from his sleep. When he wakes up Julian puts him through excessive training after the training he would eat a lot and fall asleep again, the next time he wakes up he is much stronger than before. After traveling and training for days his three small pokemon have grown powerful than before and it could be noticed from their body, now they had grown a little in size and their skin seemed more colorful, Gible''s skin became more ck while Manaphy''s skin became a little darker and shinier. The only one who didn''t change at all is Crystal, it is still the same pocket size, even though Julian could tell Crystal had the most development amongst the three it didn''t grow an inch. He had already put Crystal in a Pokeball because he thought that it would grow up and won''t fit in his pocket anymore but he was wrong, even though Crystal is growing more powerful it didn''t grow in size so it still perfectly fits in his front pocket where it can pop out its small head whenever it wants to take a look what''s happening outside. Currently Julian is looking at his three small pokemons as they chased after each other Julian ''System, disy all their stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Mew (Crystal) Type - Normal (Electric) Level - 07 Bond - 100% HP - 80 Attack - 80 Defense - 80 Sp. Atk - 80 Sp. Def - 80 Speed - 80 Move set - Pur, Thunder Shock. Ability - Multitype ______________________ Manaphy Type - Water Level - 07 Bond - 75% HP - 70 Attack - 70 Defense - 70 Sp. Atk - 70 Sp. Def - 70 Speed - 70 Move set - Bubble, Tail Glow, Water Sport, Water Pulse Ability - Hydration ________________________ Gible Type - Dragon/Ground Level - 07 Bond - 60% HP - 70 Attack - 90 Defense - 65 Sp. Atk - 70 Sp. Def - 65 Speed - 60 Move set - Dragon Breath, Tackle, Sand Attack, Dig, Iron Head, Dragon w Ability - Sand Veil, Rough Skin __________________________ Seeing the massive boost in all their stats Julian nodded, they had worked very hard, he knew he found three special pokemons, a Gible that is ck in color, seeing his stats so high clearly showed his stand as a pseudo legendary pokemon branch. Manaphy being a mystical pokemon showed how versatile it is in all fields, and Crystal is just broken. Julian can''t imagine how strong these three will be in the future. Chapter 258 - Oreburgh City The training session with his new pokemons is going quite well but Julian knew he cannot just train these three pokemons, he has to catch some more. He decided to go on a search to catch new pokemons, but he didn''t want to catch any, he wanted a team that could be very versatile and fit in with his current pokemons. ?? So he sat down under a tree and went through the whole Pokedex of Sinnoh to find suitable ones for his team, after looking around he finally decided on some but he has to still be lucky to find them. He then decided to head out to the nearest forest and try to search for pokemons, but he was out of luck, even though he found some pokemons they were not of his interest, his luck wasn''t on point today, the night fell and he could find the right one. Julian sighed. Julian "Let''s head to Oreburgh city. After I win the first badge I will try to find one" He said and set up a camp for the night. ___________________ Next day he hit the road again, it''s been a week since he is on the road, training his pokemons and enjoying the scenery in Sinnoh is satisfying. To reach Oreburgh city he has to get through the mountains, seeing the huge mountain on his path he sighed as he now as to go round and round. After finally reaching the top then heading down the deep slope he finally saw the outskirts of the city, the city is in betweenrge mountains, he looked around and saw many mining sites around the city. Julian "I heard that Oreburgh city is the biggest mining site in Sinnoh and if I am right this is also the ce where the fossil pokemons can be found" Julian''s team needed a rock type and he was searching for one, if he could find a skull fossil he would have a very powerful pokemon for his team. He looked forward to his time in Oreburgh city and headed into the city. As he entered the city he saw many interesting things, he saw a house made from rocks, they looked so modern yet so old fashioned. Seeing such intriguing houses around the city, Julian was impressed, he then saw the museum where all the magic happens. From the information, he got from the inte, this museum has two skull fossil and three armor fossil and he saw rumors floating around that they are soon going to perform a resurrection on both Skull and Armor fossil. He was excited to see it, no matter how many times he watches a fossil being revived its always exciting, knowing that a pokemon that lived millions of years ago being brought back to life, it''s huge, this shows how advanced the technology of this world hispared his older one. He wanted to visit the museum and check out the fossils but he heard some locals talking about the mining sites and the people working there seems to have found a fossil. Hearing this Julian didn''t waste his time and rode towards the mining site, when he reached there he saw few workers pulling out a huge rock on a cart, Julian carefully looked at the rock and saw it, it had a fossil attacked to it. The fossil is in the shape of a dome surrounded by small spiky bone-like structures, seeing this fossil Julian is certain that this is a Skull Fossil. Julian "If I can buy one I would do it for sure" Julian said. He was interested in getting a Skull Fossil, due to two reason, one because it''s rare and he likes having rare pokemon in his team. Second is because the pokemon thates out of this fossil has one of the highest know attack power behind its physical move excluding legendary pokemons and some pokemon''s Mega Evolution, the pokemon thates out of this fossil puts some mega evolution pokemons to shame with its sheer Attack power and Julian wants one in his team. And if he has to pay for it he would do so to get one. As he was carefully looking at the fossil from far away he saw Ash and his friends also around the mining site, he ran towards the miners and looked at the fossil. One of the miners is the gym leader of the Oreburgh gym, he is Roark. Julian listens to their talk and realizes that Ash hase to challenge his gym but there seems to be someone else in the line before Ash who will face him. Julian ''I might watch the battle, I won''t challenge him today, let''s first look around and see if I can get my hands on one of the Skull Fossil'' He could go for an Armor fossil and acquire a pokemon that boasts one of the highest defense stats but defense is not his style. He thought and decided to visit the gym and check out the battle to see how good Roark is, and he also wants to check out his pokemons because Roark has the pokemon thates from the Skull fossil. He soon arrived outside the gym and covered his lower face with a cloth mask that he used earlier in Jubilife city, this mask doesn''t stand out and is much better than his metal full face mask in public. He walked in and looked around, then he saw a person who should be the challenger who will go before Ash. Chapter 259 - Paul Vs Roark This challenger who will be challenging the gym before Ash is Paul, Julian remembered this kid was pretty annoying. He looked at him for a few seconds then walked to the receptionist, there is an old man with long hair standing there. ?? Julian "Can I watch the battle that is going to take ce?" Old Man "Sure, there isn''t any limitation that stops anyone from watching pokemon battles" He said. Julian nodded and walked towards the gym area, Paul watched him walk towards the gym, he didn''t know who this person is and why would he want to watch the gym battle but he didn''t care. Soon Ash arrived with Roark, the old man looked at Roark and weed him. Old Man "You have a challenger and an extra audience as well" Roark was surprised not because of a challenger but because they are going to have an extra audience, sometimes they doe but mostly they don''t. Nobody would want to miss a pokemon battle but trainers appear out of nowhere and challenge the gym leaders and no one will know about it. Having an audience for a normal gym battle is rare. Roark looked at Paul. Roark "So you are the challenger?" Paul "Yes" Roark "Great, meet me on the battlefield" He said and walked away, Paul soon walked towards the battlefield, Ash and his friends followed behind. ______________________ Julian is waiting for the trainers to arrive, he has taken a seat at the corner of the gym to get a full view of the whole battlefield. He saw Roark walk in, Roark nced at Julian and was surprised as his face is covered. Paul also walked in and right behind him, the old man, Ash, and his friends also walked in. Ash and his friend looked at Julian who is sitting on the corner, they didn''t know it is Julian as his face is covered. Julian didn''t want to show his face because he doesn''t want to distract the challengers when they are battling. The old man walked towards the referee area and started the battle between Paul and Roark. Roark sent his Geodude and Paul sent an Azumarill. The battle began and Paul, of course, had the advantage but it soon changed, Geodude''s Rollout got stronger and stronger with each turn and soon one-hit KOed Paul''s Azumarill. Paul didn''t expect that. He called back his Azumarill and frowned. Paul "Useless" He said and put the Pokeball to the side. Julian frowned when he heard him say so, it seemed like he is treating his pokemon as a thing and Julian didn''t like it. He took out another Pokeball and tossed it up, an Elekid came out and the battle once again began and was over within a minute, Elekid did a brick break and knocked out Geodude in one hit. Roark then sent out his Onix and asked Paul if he wants to switch his pokemon but Paul stuck with it, soon his decision came and bit him as Roarkmanded Onix to set up Stealth Rock, Elekid is in a very bad situation. Onix used m and got paralyzed as Elekid''s Static ability kicked in and Onix got paralyzed, Paul then made a switchpletely ignoring the Stealth Rock and sent out Chimchar. Julian didn''t think anything of this as he would do the same, no matter what happens that stealth rock would hit the next pokemon, instead of sacrificing his strongest pokemon he would send out another one so that his winning chance increases and it would also let his pokemon who is badly injured get some rest. Chimchar got batted by a bunch of rocks and it is hurt, as Onix moves in for a Double Edge again, Paulmands Chimchar to use Dig, Chimchar uses Dig and throws of Onix''s bnce and it crashnds, Dig is very effective and due to the paralyze still being in effect Onix stops moving again. Chimchar uses a bunch of Digs one after the other and Onix faints as it cannot keep up with it. Roark praises Paul for his strategies and then sends out his next pokemon, he tosses his Pokeball and a blue and gray colored Pokemones out, it''s a Cranidos. This is the pokemon Julian wanted. As he expected it looks very good, and when it evolves it would be a monster. The battle began again and this time it was more intense than before, Chimchar''s ze kicked in and it became more powerful and got a hit on one of Cranidos''s knee, then it got Zen Headbutted and knocked out. Paul frowned again and called back Chimchar. Paul "You are useless" He said and put away Chimchar''s Pokeball, seeing this Julian got annoyed, even though Paul is a good at Pokemon battle he is not a great trainer, he seems to not appreciate the effort his pokemon put in for his pokemon battle The battle started again as Paul sent out his Elekid again, the Stealth Rock kicked in and hit it. The battle went on as Elekid kept hitting the same knee again and again until the Cranidos was hurt badly and it couldn''t move faster. The battle ended with thest exchange, Elekid used Brick Break and defeated Cranidos, if the battlested any longer it would have been a draw. Paul won and got his badge. Julian looked at Ash and he seems to be very annoyed by Paul, he asked Paul to watch his battle. Julian sighed. Chapter 260 - Catching Cranidos Julian had to wait for a while to watch Ash''s battle as the old man is treating Roark''s pokemon back to full health. Once they were back to their full strength the battle began. ?? Julian looked at Ash and frowned. Julian ''He is too distracted, I don''t think he will win this'' The battle began and Ash was put in a tough spot from the start, Roark sent his Onix and Ash went with Aipom but this round soon ended with Aipom getting bested, he then sent out Turtwig, it managed to hold up for a while against Onix but got defeated as well. Next Ash sent Pikachu, Pikachu managed to take out Onix with a powerful Iron Tail, Roark then sent out his Geodude and the battle was intense, Pikachu somehow managed to survive and defeated Geodude, next Roark sent his Cranidos and the result was as Julian expected. Cranidos won and defeated Pikachu. Julian ''He was too focused on showing Paul the right way andpletely ignored his battle, even though he has gotten better at training pokemon he still needs to develop his mind'' Seeing that it was over Jason got up and walked away, Roark and others saw Jason walk out, they didn''t know who this person is, he came watched and walked away without saying anything. They wondered who this person is. Julian walked out of the gym and decided to visit the museum, he got on his bike and rode off. He soon arrived in front of the museum to saw amotion going on inside the museum, he heard people shouting and them running around the museum, he heard things breaking. Julian "What''s happening?" He asked and walked into the museum, as he did he saw chaos, the whole Museum is in ruins and everything inside seems to be broken. Julian "What the heck just happened here?" He looked around and saw few scientist and security running around the museum, they seem to be trying to find someone or something. Seeing the chaos Julian got dumbfounded, why would a museum be in such a state, he approached one of the scientists and asked him. Julian "What is happening here?" Scientist "The fossil pokemons that were revived today morning started a fight and now are running around the whole museum destroying everything" He said and ran off again to try and find them. Julian also started to walk around and tried to find the two pokemons, as he was looking around he heard from one of the security that both the pokemons escaped from the museum, Julian quickly left the museum and started to look around for any clue that he could find to trace down any one of them and he got lucky, he found footprints near the museum and from the looks of it, this pokemon is walking on two legs. Julian knew he had to find this one, he followed the footprint which led him to an abandoned mining site, when he reached the mining site he saw battle marks everywhere. Julian ''This one looks very aggressive, I have to bring it down if it tries to attack'' He though and carefully followed the battle marks and he finally found it. He saw a Cranidos using Iron Head and smash into a Diglett and caused it to faint, he then turned around and looked at Julian, he rubbed his right leg on the ground twice and pointed its head towards Julian and charged at him. Julian ''This one is very aggressive, I have to bring it down and catch it'' He moved to the side and let Cranidos pass him, he then tossed a Pokeball up in the air and Gible came out and hoped twice and looked around, it then looked at the angry Cranidos and tilted his body to the side, looking confused. Julian "Gible this will be our first battle together" Gible looked at Julian and nodded excitedly, he looked at Cranidos and beckoned at him. Seeing Gible''s guts Julian smiled awkwardly. Gible seems to fear nothing. The Cranidos got angry and charged towards Gible using Iron Head once again. Julian "Gible, use Dig" Gible used Dig and dug into the ground and dodged the reckless Iron Head from Cranidos, Cranidos got angrier and looked around, not able to find Gible, Cranidos turned towards Julian and charged at him again. Julian "Gible, now bite his leg" Gible suddenly came out of the ground, right below Cranidos and bit down on Cranidos''s leg, Cranidos lots his bnce and fell on the ground. Julian "Now m" Gible came out of the ground whole and swung Cranidos and mmed him on the ground again. Julian "Now Dragon w" Gible went for the finish and hit Cranidos and sent it rolling on the ground. Cranidos fainted. Julian took out an empty Pokeball and tossed it towards the Cranidos, the Pokeball made the contact and captured the Cranidos inside, he carefully waited for a while, the ball shook for quite a long time but it finally stopped moving after giving off a beep sound. The capture is sessful, Julian caught himself a Cranidos. Now he has to talk to the people in the museum and ask them Cranidos''s ownership, even though he caught it Cranidos is still the property of the Museum. He lifted the ball from the ground and looked at Gible. Julian "You did great on your first battle" Gible happily hopped around after hearing Julian. Julian smiled seeing how happy Gible is for his first victory. Chapter 261 - Cranidos He returned Gible to his Pokeball then started to head towards the museum, when he reached there he saw that themotion was down and the situation seemed calm. He walked in to find few scientists around a pokemon, they seem to be treating it. ?? He walked near it to see a Shieldon, it is the other fossil pokemon of Sinnoh region and a counterpart to Cranidos as it will have one of the highest defense stats in the pokemon kingdom once it evolves into a Bastiodon. It has a shield-shaped head and its body is yellow, one of its legs seems to be injured and the scientist around it are treating it. Scientist "We found Shieldon, what about Cranidos?" Scientist 2 "That Cranidos is very aggressive, he went on a rampage for no reason, if someone crosses his path he will attack" Scientist 3 "We need to capture it quickly, don''t know what it might do?" Scientist "Maybe we should ask the gym leader Roark''s help he has a Cranidos, he must be experienced dealing with them" Julian "There is no need for that" Julian said and walked towards them. The scientists turned around and looked at this young man wearing a ck face mask covering his lower part of the face. Scientist "Who are you?" Julian "Oh?'' Julian realized that he is still wearing his mask and removed it and showed his face to the scientists, after seeing who this man is, the scientists were shocked. They couldn''t believe Julian is standing in front of them. Scientist "Mr. Julian you are in Sinnoh?" Julian "Yes, it has been more than a week since I arrived" He said and took out a Pokeball. Julian "I heard what went on so I went in search for the Cranidos and I caught it, I hope you don''t mind if I keep him" The scientists didn''t expect Julian to have caught the Cranidos. Scientist "Sure, we were no able to tame him at all, we were nning to release their group in the wild so they can breed and expand again. If you hade before we might have not agreed but we found another Skull fossil so you can keep Cranidos" He said. These scientists have been working on these fossils for quite a while, they nned to resurrect it and when they are fully mature release them in the wild so they can breed and soon their poption would increase. Julian "Thankyou very much, I promise I will take good care of him" Scientist "Sure" Julian thanked them once again and decided to take a quick look around the museum for a while. After doing so he went and got himself a room in a good hotel, he asked the manager to not talk about him and keep quiet. Julian then went to the nearest abandoned mining site to bring out his newly caught pokemon Cranidos, he didn''t want to let Cranidos free in a room filled with lots of breakable items and seeing how aggressive Cranidos was he decided to take him out on an open field, after reaching the mining spot and looking around to find nothing dangerous he called out Cranidos. Cranidos came out and looked around, he then looked at Julian and tilted its head. Julian "Looks like you have calmed down" He said and walked towards Cranidos, Cranidos backed a little but Julian touched his head and rubbed it to calmed him down. Julian "You seem to have been startled before" Julian could tell that Cranidos wasn''t as aggressive as he thought, being surrounded by weird people whening back to life will surely startle many pokemons, some might be ok, some might get scared but this Cranidos went physical and with his high attack power he could easily cause some havoc. Cranidos calmed down as he sensed Julian''s aura and rubbed his head which is as hard as Iron. Julian felt cold to the touch as he rubbed his hand over the dome-shaped skull of Cranidos. Julian "I think you should meet your new friends" As Julian said this, Crystal who seems to be always in his pocket popped out its head and looked curiously at Cranidos. Seeing Crystal''s head pop out of nowhere Cranidos got startled, Crystal approached him and they soon got along, Julian them let him meet with Manaphy and Gible. Seeing Gible Cranidos got angry but due to Gible''s very forward nature, Cranidos got very awkward and tried to keep his distance from Gible. Julianughed seeing this, seeing his pokemon get along made his happy as well. Julian ''System show Cranidos''s stats'' System ''Affirmative'' ____________________ Cranidos Type - Rock Level - 03 Bond - 20% HP - 40 Attack - 110 Defense - 40 Sp. Atk - 30 Sp. Def - 30 Speed - 50 Move set - Leer, Headbutt, Iron Head. Ability - Mold Breaker (Unlocked), Sheer Force (Locked) ____________________ Julian ''As expected his Attack stats are high. If I am right there is no pokemon which will have a higher attack stats that Cranidos''s evolved form if we don''t include mega evolution and legendaries'' Julian is right, there are no pokemons that has a higher attack stat than a Rampardos. Julian ''Even though his attack his very high, I need to work him to increase his defense stats, they need a lot of work and also his speed can improve as well'' Due to all its defense is on its head Cranidos iscking defense over his body and that can be a problem if he is not strong enough to take hits. He then started to train them, he let Cranidos watch from the side for a few days and leg him know what to do when he starts training as well. Chapter 262 - First Gym Battle In Sinnoh Training went well and Gible is ready, Manaphy will be his second pokemon if Gible loses but he wants to use Gible alone in this battle. Julian is confident in taking on this gym with Gible alone but no matter how confident he is he will never look down on an opponent so he had to prepare Manaphy as well. ?? Today he will face Roark and have a gym battle with him, he soon headed to the gym and got in, he noticed that there is already a battle going inside. He walked in and saw it is Ash, he is having a battle with Roark once again. Julian walks towards the same ce he sat yesterday and watched the ongoing battle, this time Ash seems to be much focused and concentrated, he is sticking to his usual battle technique and is gaining an advantage over Roark. After a hard battle, Ash''s Aipom knocked out Roark''s Geodude, then Roark sends his Onix and it took down Aipom. Julian notices that Roark has also improved in a day, he seems to have trained his pokemons as well. Ash then sent out his Turtwig and after a long battle, Onix goes down after being bombarded with a lot of Razor Leaves. Soon the battle came down to Pikachu vs Rampardos as Rampardos took down Ash''s Turtwig. Yes, Roark''s Cranidos has evolved into Rampardos, Julian didn''t expect that Cranidos would evolve in a day, something must have happened for it to evolve that Julian didn''t know about. (It was team rocket, they tried to kidnap Cranidos and Pikachu but Cranidos evolved and defeated them) The battle went on and Pikachu finally triumphed afternding an Iron Tail from the top while doing a spin. The battle is over and Ash won his first badge. Julian waited till Ash left so that he could challenge next. Julian realized something, he could have always worn the mask he was wearing to cover his face and avoid everyone without getting suspected, he could have easily done this in Hoenn, there is no rule saying you had to show your face to challenge a gym. Julian ''For fu*k sake, What is wrong with me'' Julian screamed in his mind, he couldn''t believe how stupid his mind gets when ites to the small stuff. (A/N - Well as an author I can easily me the main character instead of me taking the hit?) He could have easily bought this mask for a few bucks and protected his face from getting revealed to the whole public. He could have directly shown up for the league without anyone finding out that he is here, he might use his face for some important reason and the rest he could just cover it up with his cloth mask and his hood can cover his head. Julian ''Well anyways it has already happened'' He thought and walked towards Roark who just sent off Ash. Roark noticed Julian walking towards him, he remembered seeing Julian yesterday at the audience seat but didn''t know his purpose. Julian "I am here to challenge the Gym" Roark "Oh, you have to wait for a while my pokemons are getting healed" Julian "I can wait" He said and went back to the battlefield and waited. Roark ''He was here yesterday, so he is also a trainer, maybe he wanted to watch how I battle toe up with a strategy'' Roark thought and waited for his pokemons to get back to full health. Julian had to wait for a while before Roark''s pokemon are ready. Julian didn''t understand why Roark doesn''t have any other pokemons other than those three. Roark soon came into the battlefield. Roark "Sorry for the wait, I only have three pokemons with me, my father was the previous gym leader of this gym now he is the gym leader of Canve Gym, he left none of his pokemon behind so I have to adjust with the three I have until I catch and train a new one" He said. Julian nodded, he was surprised to find out the gym leader of Canve city is Roark''s father, he has heard that the gym leader of Canve is very strong and that is why he won''t allow anyone who doesn''t have at lease five badges with them to challenge him. The old man that was at the receptionist also walked in and took the referee position and instructed Julian to take his ce. Julian nodded and walked to the challenger''s corner while Roark too his usual spot. Referee "This will be a three on three pokemon battle, only the challenger is allowed to switch his pokemon during the battle, the trainer who will have no pokemon at the end of the battle will lose, am I clear?" Julian and Roark nodded. Referee "Ten, you may choose your pokemons" Roark "I will go first, go Onix" Roark sent his Onix as his first pokemon. Julian ''He wants to tire down my first pokemon by using Onix''s high health and defense'' Julian assumed this as Roark''s n. Julian "Gible, let''s go" Julian sent out his Gible, Gible came out and hopped side to side with his two tiny legs and looked smug at the huge Onix in front of him. Gible doesn''t know any fear he would charge at a legendary pokemon to attack it if Julian left him to do so. This will be Gible''s first official battle and he is ready for it. Seeing Julian''s ck Gible Roark is surprised, he had never seen a ck Gible, he knows that he is not a shiny Gible as shiny Gible are bright blue with a yellow belly. Julian''s Gible is ck with a bright red belly. Roark "I have never seen a Gible like that, he is a special one" Julian nodded. Gible''s color maybe like this because of his ancestor which might have had the same color as him, sometimes these hidden genes get passed down and show up in a very far future. Julian had done some research on Pokemon and their color changes, there have been sightings of many pokemons with weird colors, people can only think it is due to some gene alteration or ancestry. Julian remembered one, he was not there to see it but he still remembered watching it in anime in his old world, Ash''s Butterfree got alone with a very rare pink Butterfree, he still remembered that scene. There was also a report stating that a ck Tyranitar existed that terrorized Johto, it had powers equal to legendary pokemons and all the powerhouse during that time had to step up, work together and take down the ck Tyranitar and seal it in an ancient Pokeball made from Red Apricorn. This was a true incident and people in Johto still talk about it sometimes. People often mistake this rare urrence in pokemons as Shiny but they are different. Chapter 263 - Julian Vs Roark Gible stared down on Onix even though Onix is the taller one. Referee "Let the battle begin" ?? The old man gave the signal and Roark made the move. Roark "Onix use m" Onix roars and rush towards Gible and tried to m him. Julian "Gible role away" Gible did as Julian said and rolled to the side and moved away from Onix''s path, Onix hit the ground and smashed the rocks, the shock wave caused Gible to get up in the air. Julian "Now, Dragon Breath" Gible opened his mouth and sted a Blue me-like beam which hit Onix''s face. Onix roared in pain and its whole body came crashing down but it soon got up and shook off the pain and roared at Gible again. Roark "Onix use Stealth Rock" Onix sent six glowing rocks towards Gible, those rocks then separated and nted themselves across the field. Julian is not worried about these Stealth Rocks as he doesn''t n to switch out. Julian "Gible use Dig" Gible used Dig and burrowed down the ground. Roark "Onix be on the lookout, try to feel the vibrations" Onix did manage to locate Gible''s position but it is toote, Gible came ripping the ground and tossed Onix''s body off the ground and causing it to crash on the ground. Julian "Iron Head" As Onix is still on the ground Gible charges towards Onix andnds a powerful Iron Head on Onix, Onix''s head rolls away along with its body and crashes into a rock bolder. As the smoke gets clear Onix slowly gets it head up back in the air as it struggles to maintain its bnce. Roark "Onix go all out, Double Edge" Double Edge is a very powerful Normal-type move but it has recoil damage, but it won''t affect Onix due to its ability Rock Head which ignores all kinds of move recoil damage. Onix charged towards Gible using Double Edge. Julian "Gible roll away then use Dragon w" Gible does as Julian says and moves away avoiding the slow Onix who is already hurt from all that damage, as it crashed its head on the ground again, Giblended and Dragon w on the same spot as he hit the Iron Head. The attacknded and Onix roared in pain and is now having a very hard time getting up, it''s still in the battle as it has not fainted but it will soon fall. Julian ''That Onix has a very high defense, it''s still able to keep up for such a long time'' Julian "Gible finish this Iron Head" Gible charges at Onix once again as his head is covered with metallic energy. Roark "Use Double Edge" Onix also uses itsst bit of power to charge at Gible, but Gible once again moves away from Onix''s path andnds an Iron Head on its body. This time it''s over, Onix''s head crash into the ground again and the Iron Head on its body, its whole bodyes crashing down and dust fill the air. Soon the results are clear, Onix has fainted. Referee "Onix is unable to battle, Gible wins" Roark didn''t expect his Onix to be taken down this easily, he sighed and called it back to its Pokeball. Roark "Your Gible is very strong, let''s see if it can continue the momentum" He said and sent out his next pokemon, Geodude. Roark "Geodude use Rollout" Geodude started to roll and charged towards Gible. Julian "Gible head towards the closest boulder" Gible ran towards the closest boulder and looked at Geodude who is heading towards him. As it got closer Gible made the move. He used Dig and went into the ground, Geodude crashed into the boulder and got stuck in the hole that Gible just created. Roark "What?" He didn''t expect this at all. Gible first used Dig and made a hole, the boulder got used as a wall to stop Geodude and now it''s stuck in that hole. Julian "Finish this, Iron Head" Suddenly a metal shing sound is heard and Geodude is sent flying straight up in the air, Gible attacked the bottom of Geodude, he came out of the same hole and moved to the side as he waited for Geodude to fall. Geodude fell and got stuck in the same hole again and is knocked out. Roark''s Geodude is a physical attacked but its defense wascking, getting hit by Iron Head was the end of this battle. Roark never faced a situation like this, he didn''t expect, Dig to be used to trap his Geodude. Roark "I didn''t expect that at all, but myst pokemon won''t be so easy to take down, go Rampardos" Roark sent out his Rampardos. Roark "Rampardos be careful, the opponent is strong" Rampardos nodded and looked at Gible who is standing in front of it. Gible is hopping from one side to another and smiling happily as he won two consecutive battles, he then looked at Rampardos and beckoned him toe at him. Gible really has a no fu*k giving attitude. Roark "Rampardos let''s go Zen Headbutt" Julian "Iron Head". Chapter 264 - Julian Vs Roark (2) Both Gible and Rampardos ran towards each other and shed their head with their moves, Gible was sent rolling back from that exchange. Roark "Continue, use Head Smash" ?? Julian "Use Dig" Rampardos charged towards Gible once again but he quickly used Dig and dodged the attack, Roark "Rampardos, be ready when you feel it" Rampardos suddenly jumped high up in the air with the help of his powerful legs and looked down, as it expected Gible came out of the ground. Roark "Now use Head Smash" Julian "Dragon Breath" Gible didn''te out of his hole and sted a powerful Dragon Breath at Rampardos, it didn''t expect Gible to not get out of the ground and attack with a Dragon Breath, Rampardos''s Special Defense is not high so getting hit by any more Dragon Breath will cause it to go down soon. Rampardos crashes down after getting hit. Julian "Gible, use Dragon w" Giblees out of the ground and charges towards Rampardos using Dragon w. Roark "Use Iron Tail" Rampardos somehow got up and used its leg to turn around as fast as possible and attacked Gible with Iron Tail. The two attacks shed and caused a small shock wave, Rampardos got the upper hand and Gible was sent rolling on the ground. Roark "Now let''s finish this, use Thrash" Rampardos roared and rushed recklessly at Gible, Thrash can cause a lot of damage if connected but if missed the user would get confused. Julian knew he got the chance, he cannot let Gible exchange physical attacks with Rampardos, the best way is to make it hurt itself. Julian "Gible, Dragon w on its leg" Gible stopped rolling by using his legs and once again rushed towards Rampardos. Rampardos''s reckless charge doesn''t seem to stop as it increased its speed, luckily Gible is small and has a great chance of escaping this attack. And he did, as Rampardos''s head was about to connect Gible moved to the side andnded a Dragon w right below its spiky knee causing Rampardos to lose bnce and crash down hard on the ground. As it got up it fell into confusion. Julian "Now Iron Head" Giblended an Iron Head right on Rampardos''s back and sent it crashing on a boulder, it struggled to get up but the battle has already been decided. Julian "Finish this, Dragon Breath" Gible sted his final move, Blue me-like beam engulfed Rampardos and caused an explosion, as the smoke cleared out Rampardos is found fainted. Referee "Rampardos is unable to battle, Gible wins. The winner of this battle is the challenger" The old man announced the results. Roark sighed. The result was obvious from the start, it didn''t mean that Roark''s pokemon are not strong, his Onix and Rampardos were stronger that Gible but his opponents battle style was more unique and he was always two steps ahead of Roark, anticipating all his moves. He walked towards Julian and handed him the Coal Badge. Roark "Looks like I still have a lot to learn" Julian "You are good, just rough around the edges" Roark "What''s your name by the way?" Roark asks as he still doesn''t know who this masked man is, Julian takes off his mask and shows his face to Roark. Seeing who it is Roark is shocked, he couldn''t believe what his eyes are seeing. Roark "You are the champion, Julian" He shouted. Julian "I am not a champion, I was one" Roark "I cannot believe I had a battle with you I am a very big fan of yours" Julian "Ok" Julian nodded his head. Roark "By the way, why did you cover your face?" Julian "So that you won''t get intimidated and don''t give your all during our battle" Julian stated his reason. Roark nodded. He understood why Julian said so. If Julian had not covered his face he might get intimidated and not give his all and he knows it will happen to him. Julian "Ok I will be going then" Julian said and walked away with Gible who is dancing around after his awesome victory. Outside the gym, Julian gets on his bike and rides off to his hotel room. After reaching there he opens hisptop and started to look around the inte and find his next destination. After looking for a while he decided to go to Eterna City as there are a lot of pokemons sightings between Oreburgh city and Eterna City. Julian "So my next destination is Eterna city, the gym there is a Grass-type gym, I have to try finding a fire type pokemon" Luckily for Julian, there are some high-temperature areas on this route, he will surely find a good fire type pokemon, he wants to find a Magby as it would put a powerful Special Attacker in his team. Chapter 265 - Little Exploring A new day, a new journey, Julian is on the road on his way to Eterna City. Like any other normal day in his life, he trains his pokemon, gives them food and back to the road. He is taking it slow and enjoying his time with his pokemons, traveling alone has its perks for him as he can do whatever he wants now without thinking about Daisy''s and Chloe''sfort, he had not sent his nights in jungles and forest now that he could he realized how fun it is to travel alone. ?? It didn''t mean that he didn''t enjoy his time with them, it was just that he would be constantly worried about them but now he doesn''t have to, he can go along without any care and travel wherever he wants. He soon arrived at a Jungle, he wants young pokemon to experience the wild as they have not gone through it before. After reaching deep in the jungle he released all of them out of their pokeballs, as soon as the small ones came out they started to y around without any concerns while his older pokemon just watched and waited for Julian''smand. Julian "Infernape you take the older ones and can look around the forest, while I look after the younger ones" Infernape nodded and his older pokemon walked away, Julian would do sometimes as they still need to figure out things when he is not with them and experience some freedom or they will have to always be stuck in their Pokeball. Julian "Ok little ones, we are going to go around the forest and explore" His four pokemons, Crystal, Manaphy, Gible, and Cranidos seemed confused as they didn''t know what Julian said" Julian wanted them to explore and familiarize with the wild and exposing them to it when they are still young is the right time to do so. Julian "Ok let''s go" Julian then took them away, the only one left behind is Snox as he just sleeps where ever he is, no matter what kind of surface nothing can stop him from having afortable sleep. He isn''t worried about Snox, he will be worried about the pokemon or person who will try to disturb Snox. Julian soon brought his four pokemon near ake so they can explore, Cranidos doesn''t seem to like water and tried to stay away from it but Gible pulled him underwater and messed with him. Julian let them do whatever they want as he let them figure things out on their own, what they can eat, what they can touch, how to get out of trouble. As Julian expected they got into a lot of trouble, sometimes they disturbed dangerous pokemons and sometimes they get trapped in veins of nts and trees. They are small and curious, Julian does this will all his pokemon when they are still young to let them experience everything they cane before they grow up and miss this chance to have fun and learn at an extremely fast rate. Just like human babies young pokemon tend to learn faster and Julian had noticed this many times when he took care of pokemon babies in Professor Oak''sb. After they were done with everything and are finally tired he re-energized them and then went on with training. This whole day was battle practice for them, he would go on a search for wild pokemons and let one of his four battle them without his guidance, this ensured that his pokemon can take care of themselves and don''t need to rely on him when they are in a pinch. Julian focused more on Cranidos as he is still the weakest of the bunch. ____________________ Currently Julian is looking at Crystal as it is battling a Stunky, Crystal had changed its typing to Electric to moved around Stunky and attacked with Thunder Shocks, it indeed got hit by few of Stunky''s attacks but it kept on going due to it over the chart stats. When Julian saw Crystal getting hit by that Thunder Shock from Pikachu and gained that electric type move, he thought Crystal just needs exposure to a move to learn it but it doesn''t seem to be the case. Crystal got hit by many moves but it didn''t learn it. As Crystal went for another Thunder Shock to finish it, Stunky used Acid Spray and sprayed Crystal with poison. Crystal closed its eyes and rubbed it, suddenly the red crystal on its head glowed and absorbed all the acid into it, seeing this Julian realized that the red crystal in Crystal''s head can absorb elements. The side of the red crystal glowed purple and purple smoke seems to surround it. Julian ''System, did Crystal gain poison typing?'' System ''Yes, Crystal''s current typing are Electric and Poison, current moves are Thunder Shock and Venoshock'' Julian ''Venoshock? didn''t it get attacked by an Acid Spray'' System ''Yes, but the moves learned doesn''t have to be the same, the element Crystal is exposed to is poisonous and its experience with using Thunder Shock has made it easy to learn Venoshock as its execution method is same'' System exined how Crystal learns how to use moves. Julian nodded. Julian ''I see, so Crystal can absorb elements with its red crystal and learn a move which it feels suitable to execute'' Julian finally understood how to train Crystal, he didn''t know what moves to teach Crystal and how to because of its uniqueness but now things are clear to him, he trained Crystal to increase its powers physically now he can train her in using her special powers as well. Julian ''I will train Crystal on how to focus its energy and teach it how to execute it without losing much power'' What Julian noticed with new pokemon is that they do know how to use moves but they are not that powerful and not at its peak, they don''t know how to use their own move properly and he has to spend time with them and teach them how to use it properly. But with Crystal he thinks it can change, if he teaches Crystal how to use a move before it even learns it, the power behind them would be much greater. Crystal suddenly went up and sted a Venoshock at Stunky and then a Thunder Shock causing the Stunky to faint. Julian ''This little one is full of surprise isn''t it'' Julian smiled. Chapter 266 - Search For A Fire Type Julian''s day went well as his pokemon learned many things when he returned he found his old pokemons are back to the previous spot they separated. Julian "How was your day?" ?? He asked. They seemed to been pleased with their time around the forest. Seeing them satisfied he nodded, he returned them to their Pokeball and Gengar into his Shadow. Julian ''I need to get back to the road I guess, I also need to catch some new pokemons'' He thought and soon hit the road once again. On his way to Eterna City, he visited many small towns and viges but he didn''t find any suitable pokemon that would fit his team, he needed a good special attacker or a powerful defensive wall, his team attack is already filled up with Gible and Cranidos, his all-rounders are Crystal and Manaphy, now he need is Special Attackers and Defender. He wants to find a Gligar as it will be a perfect Defender with a good attacking stats as well, and being a Flying-type has its advantage against grounded pokemons. And might be in luck because there have in sightings of Gligar and Gliscor on the route he is heading right now. But finding them will be very hard as they are hard to spot in the wild, sadly his luck wasn''t on his side today as he found no sign of Gligar or Gliscor, with no luck for few days Julian decided to head forward and get to Eternal city. He gave up on finding Gligar now. He can find it afterward, what he needs now is to get to Eterna city and catch a fire type pokemon. He soon reached a small vige called Alfe vige, the people in that vige weed him as they do to any travelers who visit their vige. This vige is situated near a hot spring and the pokemons here were most fire types, a perfect ce to find a fire type pokemon. He is staying in the vige elder''s house, and having lunch that the vige elder''s wife made, the vige elder is also with him eating andughing, talking about his daughter and how she used to travel around and now she has settled in with her husband and already have a child. Julian enjoyed thepany of old people, sometimes it reminded him of how he was old once and how peaceful his life was after retirement, sometimes he sees his old self in this happy old family. Julian "Vige Elder, can you tell me where can I find some good fire type pokemons" Elder "Ohh, I know, why don''t you go north of this vige, there is a huge hot spring there, a very powerful fire type pokemon rules that area, you might find some promising one there as the environment there is very suitable for fire type pokemons" This news helped Julian. Julian "Thankyou very much" He rested for a day and right next day he heads towards the north of the vige in search of a suitable pokemon for his team. Julian ''I wonder what I will encounter there'' ___________________ At the huge hot spring located on the north of the vige where Julian is staying. Few pokemons are hanging around and chilling in the hot water. In the middle of this group is a massive Magmortar, ity there with easy as a few small pokemon are serving him. They seem to be very tense when doing so, the pokemon around here seemed suppressed. An Azurill suddenly drops all the fruit its carrying and it gets burnt by the mes on Magmortar''s body, seeing this Magmortar gets angry and swings at the Azurill with its hand and sts it off, the Azurill hits a wall and faints. As this is happening a pokemon who is hiding behind some bushes who is not even 0.4 meters tall stares angrily at Magmortar, it suddenly disappears from its spot and suddenly appears behind Magmortar, it then tried hard and collects some psychic powers and suddenly the Magmortar starts to get lifted up in the air. The Magmortar is shocked and looks around to see what''s happening, the little pokemon then uses all its power and sends Magmortar flying through the sky. The little one is very tired, it''s still not an adult and using that much energy is really tiring for it, it disappears from its spot. The pokemon who are around the spring has no idea what just happened, but now that the big bully is gone they start to enjoy the hot spring for themselves. The little one looks at this group and smiles happily then disappears once again. ___________________ Julian is very close to the area specified by the vige elder and he is trying yo find pokemon tracks that could lead him to it. Julian "It should be very near, the temperature has risen significantly" He said and looked around, suddenly he saw somethinging towards him from the sky at high speed. He backs away and let this thing crash. Julian "Well that was a terrific entrance" He said and took a look at what this thing is and to his surprise. It''s a Magmortar. Julian "A Magmortar? you don''t see one flying around, there must have been some kind of battle and with a powerful one for it to be sent flying so high in the air" Julian found it to be very interesting, he could tell that this Magmortar is strong a thing that could throw it so high in the sky might be very powerful as well. Chapter 267 - Another Mythical? Julian ignored the Magmortar as it has already grown up and developed its skills by its own, adapting to Julian''s training method will be very hard. Snox also suffered from the same, he had developed so far from his own and Julian had to spend months training Snox to bring out all that dormant power that was inside him, he doesn''t want to do that again because he has other pokemons to tend to as well, he cannot just focus on one pokemon. ?? He soon walked around the valley to cover all the parts and close into the spring, he didn''t want to just go towards the spring and lose a pokemon that he might have missed. After hours of searching, he found some promising ones but he decided to put them in his list, if he didn''t find the one he is looking for he will go for them. At the end of the day, he could still train them and make them strong. He could feel the moistness of the ground and the humidity in the air, he could tell that the hot spring is very near. He soon found it, and as he expected the hot spring is filled will all kinds of pokemon enjoying their time, most of them are fire types but there are also other types of pokemon as well. He looked around and found many good pokemons that could go with his team, he saw a Magby that looked very healthy, he also saw a Charmander who seems to be very powerful as well, a Shellos which can be the tank of his team. While he is deciding which pokemon to choose he heardrge footsteps approaching the hot spring, he looked towards the direction that it ising from. Then the Magmortar he saw before barged in knocking down some trees and burning them with its mes and roared at the pokemons who are in the hot spring. Seeing the Magmortar most of them got scared but stayed still and few ran away, seeing this Julian could tell that this Magmortar is a bully, it then walked towards the hot spring and kicked the Magby who was on its path. Julian frowned and was about to step in when he noticed something unusual. Opposite to him in the bushes, he saw two orange hornsing out of the bushes. Julian ''What is that?'' He questioned and decided to wait, suddenly the horns disappeared, Julian got surprised as he saw a 0.3-meter tall pokemon appear right behind Magmortar. Seeing this pokemon his eyes went wide. Julian ''Am I just too lucky?'' He thought and tried to see what this little one is up to, it suddenly started to concentrate its psychic powers and sent the Magmortar flying through the sky again. Julian ''It is a powerful little one but still young, it''s already tired after one use of its power'' Julian looked at this pokemon as it suddenly disappeared and appeared right behind the same bush once again. Julian ''I should give it a visit'' He slowly approached this pokemon after going around the spring. Julian "Are you tired?" He asked. The little pokemon turned and looked at Julian with surprise, it didn''t sense Julian''sing at all. It started at Julian then suddenly teleported away. Julian "Wait" He was toote, the pokemon has disappeared. Julian ''I cannot let go of such a great opportunity, I have to find it'' He thought and once again started to search for this pokemon, he has nothing to start with but he still wants to find it. After looking around the whole area he found nothing, he could always catch other pokemon but after finding the pokemon that he saw, how can he concentrate on other pokemons. He has to return back to the vige and try to find out about this pokemon. Back in the elder''s house, Julian is having his dinner with the old couple. Julian "Elder have you ever seen the mythical pokemon Victini around this area?" Elder "Victini, ah, I remember my father telling me about our vige being protected by Victinis for generations but I didn''t believe, wait? did you see one today" Julian "Yes, I saw one, it is still a young one" Elder "Hahahaha, so my father was right, he told that there is a sacred ground where the Victinis resides, I don''t know where it is, but if the Victinis really live in this valley then the sacred ground should also exist" Julian ''Do you know anything more about them?" Elder "My father told me that Victini always approaches a person with a brave heart, and the person who will be its trainer will never face defeat him their whole life" Julian nodded. He did some research after leaving the hot springs, he read the legends of Victini, there have only been four trainers in history that had a Victini with them and they were powerful trainers but that didn''t mean they weren''t defeated. The legend behind Victini is that it gives its trainer an undying will to win and this will lead to his victory with his or her effort. Elder "I remember something, when I was young my father brought me to the hot spring in the forest to give an offering to the Victinis. If the sacred ground really exists, it should be neat the hot spring. Young man if you want a Victini toe with you on your journey you have to prove yourself to it and then defeat it, for it to really submit to you and let it be your trainer. I the past many have seen Victini, many tried to catch it, few seeded in catching it as well but they never received its reorganization, the Victini will leave its trainer without a second thought if it thinks that its trainer is unworthy and doesn''t have a brave heart" Julian nodded. Victini, a pokemon that seeks for a partner who has a brave and strong heart and one who always strives for victory, just the type of pokemon Julian needs. Chapter 268 - Brave Victini Julian woke up early as he wants to continue his search for Victini, after a while, he arrives at the hot spring. As he expected there are pokemons around the spring running around and enjoying their time, he let out his pokemon and let them walk in and get familiarize with other pokemons, then he will also walk in so that the pokemons present there won''t get afraid and attack him. ?? He only let his small pokemon enter, in no way shape or form he would send his old pokemons because just their presence would scare all the pokemon around the vicinity. Manaphy was the first to enter and familiarize with other pokemons as its nature allowed it to bond with others very easily, Crystal is very mysterious so it caught the attention of other pokemons, Gible being hyperactive forced his way into the group and familiarized with them, Cranidos was a little shy at first but Gible came to rescue and dragged Cranidos into the group. Soon all of them were ying around, Julian smiled seeing this. He decided to walk in but he saw Victini once again, it is looking at his pokemon with big curious eyes. Especially Manaphy as they both are the Pixies of the pokemon world along with Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Shaymin, these are the six pixies know to man. There might be others but have never been discovered. It also looked at Crystal as Crystal is very mysterious even to a mythical pokemon, Gible and Cranidos are very normal but being with the other two also made them attracted to Victini. Crystal and Manaphy, of course, noticed the guest that is spying on them. Manaphy floated towards the bush that Victini is hiding, seeing Manaphy approaching it Victini tried to escape but Crystal appeared behind it and tapped its back, causing it to startle. Crystal then giggled after seeing Victini getting scared, Victini seemed embarrassed by this. Julian just let his pokemon do the magic for him so that when he meets Victini it won''t run away like before. After five minutes it seems that Victini is not shy anymore and hase out in the open, it seems to enjoy ying with Julian''s pokemon. Just when Julian is about to enter he is interrupted again, the same Magmortar came again to interrupt the fun. Julian is getting pissed from this Magmortar. It walked in a roared and this time it looked at Victini with anger, it knew Victini was the one who sent it flying twice as it caught a glimpse of Victini thest time it was sent flying. Victini stepped forward and looked bravely at Magmortar, this little one is brave and won''t take a defeat for an answer. Even though Victini is mythical it''s still not strong enough to take down Magmortar, the previous two times was pure luck as it caught Magmortar by surprise. Magmortar doesn''t seem to care about Victini as it could tell its the stronger one and it would bully the weak if it gets a chance. Magmortar suddenly sts a methrower at Victini. Julian "Manaphy, use Water Pulse along with Bubble Beam" Manaphy sends a ball of glowing water at the methrower and intercepts it but it gets destroyed by the methrower but it has been weakened, the Bubble Beames in a neutralizes the methrower. Julian "Cranidos, Headbutt its knee" Cranidos charged at Magmortar''s knee, it cannot see Cranidos due to the smoke created by the collision of the Bubble Beam and the methrower. Cranidos connects and with the power behind his attack, Magmortares crashing down on its knee. Julian "Gible, use Dig then Dragon w" Gible digs a hole in front of the falling Magmortar, ites crashing down as its face gets stuck in the hole Gible just dug up. Magmortar can see Gible underground with a grin over his face, Gible charges and smashes Magmortar''s face with a powerful Dragon w. Magmortar is thrown back as its facees out of the hole and it goes and crashes into a tree. Julian "Crystal, use Thunder Shock" Crystal giggles and sts a powerful wave of Thunder Shock, zapping Magmortar, it faints after that. Victini looks in awe as the four work together and took down the big bully, it then looks at Julian whomanded these four. A person with a brave heart and undying will, a perfect partner that all Victini desire to meet one day. Julian then looks at his shadow. Julian "Gengar you know what to do next" As he says this, Gengar slowlyes out of his shadow. Gengar "Gegegegege" Seeing Gengar some of the pokemon in the area gets scared but seeing Gengar didn''t even look at them they sighed in relief, Gengar approached the Magmortar. Magmortar got up and saw two terrifying red eyes staring at it, it felt that these eyes were staring into his soul. Gengar [Look little fellow, if I ever see you here ever again, I will hunt you down and take away your soul and harvest it, gegegegegege] Hearing this Magmortar got scared, it got so scared that it ran away screaming, it decided to nevere back to this valley ever again. Gengarughed evilly and returned to Julian''s shadow once again, the surrounding when back from chilly to normal as if nothing happened at all. Julian "Looks like that fellow won''t bully you ever again" Hearing what Julian said all the pokemon became very happy and some of them approached him as they felt his aura and became peaceful. Victini stared at Julian and approached him. Victini "VIIIIIII" Julian looked at Victini as it called for him, he was surprised as it seemed Victini wants to battle with him. Julian "Do you want to battle?" Victini nodded its head. Julian "Great, Manaphy we are going to have a battle" Manaphy got excited and joined Julian and stared at its opponent. Chapter 269 - Catching Victini A battle between the Pixie mythical pokemon is a site to be held, pokemon who are around the vicinity came and settled down to watch this battle. It is clear that Manaphy has the advantage as it is a water type but Victini also has Psychic typing so it can have an arsenal of special attacks in its pocket. ?? Julian had already seen two of Victini''s move, one is teleport and the other is Confusion which can be used in many different ways but the result is that the opponent has a 10 percent chance to get confused, the better control over the element the potent the effect of an attack. Since Victini is still young Julian is not concerned about the confusion hitting Manaphy and even if Confusion triggers it will be over within a few seconds. Victini suddenly used Teleport and appeared right behind Manaphy. Julian "Manaphy move to the right" Manaphy moved away a dodged a Fire Punch from Victini. Julian "Now use Water Pulse" Manaphy turned around and used its antenna and sent a Water Pulse towards Victini, being close to Manaphy Victini couldn''t dodge it and gets hit by it. Victini shakes its body and gets off the ess water on its body then evaporate it with its me. It then charged towards Manaphy using me Charge. Julian "Use Water Sport" Manaphy released a blue glow from its body and the surrounding suddenly got moist and Victini''s me charge got weak but it still connected to Manaphy. It didn''t cause much damage and Manaphy is just fine. Julian "Now water Pulse" Manaphy sent another Water Pulse at Victini but Victini used Teleport and appeared behind Manaphy and got a hold of it using Confusion and mmed Manaphy into the hot spring, Manaphy didn''t receive any damage from that and being exposed to the water healed it further. Julian "Tail Glow" Manaphy''s antenna started to glow green and suddenly its Special Attack rose by three stages. Victini once again charged towards Manaphy using me Charge but its time to end this. Julian "Manaphy use Water Pulse" Manaphy once again sent a Water Pulse towards Victini and this time its three times more powerful than before. Victini gets hit and goes flying backward. Julian takes out an empty Pokeball and tosses it towards Victini, the Pokeball captures it and falls, it beeps on for a while before finally stopping with a confirmation beep. Seeing the catch is sessful Julian rushed towards the Pokeball and lifts it. Julian "Victini,e out" He brings out Victini and looks at it. Julian "Wee to the family" Victini smiles happily, Crystal, Manaphy, Gible, and Cranidos also join in the fun. Julian looks at them and cannot believe that he already has five pokemons with him, it not been more than a month since he has arrived in Sinnoh and his team is already blooming withughter. Julian "Victini you should say goodbye to your friends, we will be leaving soon" Julian ''System show Victini stats'' System ''Affirmative'' ____________________ Victini Type - Psychic/Fire Level - 08 Bond - 30% HP - 70 Attack - 70 Defense - 70 Sp. Atk - 90 Sp. Def - 90 Speed - 70 Move set - Confusion, Searing Shot, Teleport, Fire Punch, me Charge, V-Create (Locked) Ability - Victory Star _____________________ Julian ''Hmm? this is the first time I have seen a locked move, system care to exin?'' System ''V-Create is a special move only Victini can use, it is also the most powerful fire type move in this world, but to master it Victini has to have full control over its fire element'' Julian ''I understand'' Victini nodded and said its goodbyes to its older friends and returned to Julian, he then sent all his pokemons into their Pokeball and Crystal into his pocket where it fell asleep in an instant. Julian "It must be very tired after all the ying it did" He said and headed back to the vige. _________________ Its the next day and Julian is ready to leave, he is being sent off by the vige elder and his wife. Elder "Hahahaha, young man, I didn''t believe that you will be able to catch a Victini, now you should take good care of it, it will lead you to a path of victory" Julian "I sure will" He said and set off on his journey again, once he hit the road there was no stopping for him until Crystal starts to do its usual mischief again. Day after night they traveled trained and explored, having fun with his pokemon. Julian finally arrived on the outskirts of Eterna City, he could see the vast greenery around the whole city, the city and its surroundings are thriving with grass type pokemon. Julian "A new day, a new city, let''s see what this city holds" He said and put on his cloth mask so that the public doesn''t notice him. Entering the city he saw many people and pokemon enjoying their life in peacefulness, they seem to be getting alone and connected to nature. People seem to don''t mind the nts that are growing on their walls, they even decorate them with flowers and other essories. Julian has never seen a town like this before and he is enjoying himself. Little did Julian know that his peaceful days might juste to an end and he might have to bring out his big guns. Chapter 270 - Team Galactic While Julian is busy exploring Eterna city, somewhere on the other side of the city a group of people wearing a very weird uniform with ck and white ent, its seemed more like a space suit but much thinner, they had a G printed on their uniform. They are team Gctic, the evil organization in Sinnoh and their goal is to get hold of the legendary pokemon Dialga and Palkia, they just have no idea why they want to get hold of these pokemon, they are just doing what their leader told them to do. ?? An admin of Team Gctic is also present there, a man with blue hairs which is shaped like horns, he has a Toxicroak by his side. His name is Saturn, he is the strongest admin of Team gctic. Saturn "All of you get ready, we will be heading towards Snowpoint city soon but before that, we need to get something from the headquarters" Eterna city is home to one of the two headquarters of the team Gctic, this headquarters is under the leadership of the three admin while the other is under their boss. Saturn "Let''s go" "YES" All the grunts behind him shouted and soon followed him to their headquarters, as they enter he signaled the grunts to do what they were told to and he walked into the main control room where his fellow admins might be receding. As he walked in he saw two women staring daggers at each other. The one on the right who is short has red hair and wearing a skirt is Mars, while the other on the left who is tall has purple hair and is wearing a uniform with one exposed leg. Mars "Bitch what did you just call me" Jupiter "You shorty, don''t you dare call me a bitch again" Mars "What are you going to do you bitch,in to the boss?" Saturn "Both of you shut up, I have other things to do other than listen to your useless quarrel" They both looked at Saturn and stopped shouting and looked at the huge screen in front of them. Saturn "Any readings?" He asked one of the grunts who is working on theputer. Grunt "No Admin Saturn, we have no readings, thest one was from 2 weeks ago in Verityke from then we don''t have any other readings" Mars "Why don''t we empty theke and bring it out from hiding" Jupiter "You idiot that''s not how it works, it doesn''t live in theke, theke is a gateway from its dimension to our world, it is the same for all theke guardians" Mars "Why are we even looking for them, just months ago we were searching for the Orbs" Saturn "Boss found out that theke guardians hold the key to opening the world where the legendary pokemon Dialga and Palkia live" Jupiter "What does the boss want to do with them? world domination? I don''t think that is possible" Saturn "I don''t know what the boss is thinking, we can just do what he says or he will kill us without a second thought, he is the scariest man I have met, he won''t bat an eye even when killing someone" Saturn said and looked at the screen and the readings disyed there. Saturn "Any news about the foreign organization?" Jupiter "Yes, some members of Team Rocket havee to Sinnoh, we don''t know their motive but I heard a rumor that they are searching for Hunter J, I don''t know why they need her, she has been useful to us but she is still a backstabbing bitch" Saturn "They are looking for Hunter J huh? their goal might not be as simple as we think it is, they might try to look into our mission, we have to be on alert 24/7" Mars "I heard that Team Rocket has a new Admin, they say she is quite the seducer" Mars said and looked at Saturn. Saturn "Why are you looking at me, I may be a womanizer but I don''t fuck around with the enemies" Mars "Ya whatever, you should continue with your work and head towards Snowpoint city, you might just get lucky and find the orb" Saturn "Hmm" He walks away after taking a weirdly shaped cube which was on the table next to him, who knows what this cube does. ___________________ Julian had a quick look around the town and decided to look around the rest afterward, now he wants to go and get a room and rest as he has been driving for hours. On his way to the hotel he has booked he sees them. Julian ''Man not again, do I really have to go over all this one more time, well its no escaping them I guess'' Julian thought and went past Saturn and his grunts, while doing so he just let them taste fear for a second. His aura went past them and scared the shit out of them for a second, they looked around to see what was that but they are all still clueless. Saturn ''What the fuck was that? I never felt so scared my entire life'' He thought and looked behind him to see Julian riding away on his bike. Saturn ''Was it him? it happened when he passed us'' Saturn frowned and looked at Julian disappearing from his vision. He didn''t know but his instinct told him to run away and nevere back. Grunt "Admin Saturn, should we continue?" Saturn "Yes" He said and continued their walk towards their helipad base. Chapter 271 - Cult Of Worshipers After arriving at his hotel room that he has booked he requested the manager to be quiet and don''t disturb him, he did get wee grandly. He took whatever they gave him and stored it in his dimensional pouch. ?? Julian "I have arrived at Eterna city, those people I saw were team Gctic, looks like I won''t have a quiet time for a while, I have to find out what are they after" He said and looked into the inte and tried to find out about Cyrus. Cyrus being the leader of Team Gctic. he needs to be rich and to be rich they still have to own a business in the real world to not get noticed by the public for holding so much money. He soon found information about Cyrus, he is a billionaire and owns multiplepanies here in Sinnoh, he is a huge real-estate businessman here in Sinnoh and most of the important buildings are built by hispany. Julian "Real-Estate huh? what can I do to stop Cyrus from doing what he is about to do?" Julian didn''t know what Cyrus is about to do, he had seen what will happen but he is not sure that it will happen as Sinnoh waspletely different as well. Julian "The best way is to stop his money flow, sending him into bankrupt, he needs money to achieve anything, I have to find a way to block all his ie resource" Julian thought for a while and realized something. Jimi once said that he wanted to start Real-Estate in Sinnoh because there is a huge demand for Real-Estate in Sinnoh but he doesn''t have any contacts here to get a holding. No matter how rich Jimi is he still has to go around and get permission from many politicians to start a Real-Estate but it is different for Julian. His name is enough for the league to move forward and do anything he wants, the league gives him more important than anyone. Julian''s whole team of pokemons can destroy cities and such power is scary, and the league doesn''t want to lose an alley like Julian, they would do anything just so they can owe a favor from Julian. Julian doesn''t mind helping the league so he might use his name to do something here. Julian "Ok, I know what to do, I will use the league to block all the iing for Cyrus business and will use Jimi as a curtain to cover up my tracks" Julian said. A man such as Cyrus needs money to do things he needs to achieve and not having it means many of his projects wille to a halt. One that happens Julian can sweep in and destroy the rest. Julian "I am a genius" He says andughs. _____________________ Somewhere in thendmass that is situated in the northeast of Sinnoh, in Stark mountain, a group of people are around an alter wearing ck robe as they pray to a huge statue of a pokemon with huge wings and six legs. They seem to be some kind of religious cult who worship Giratina. One of them walked towards the statue with a bowl in his hand that seems to contain blood. He is wearing a long ck robe, his body is thin and fragile and he looks like an old man in his deathbed. "Oh great Lord, here our praying, we offer our blood to you and request you to grant us the power of destruction. We, your followers, your worshipers, will destroy everything in your name as we wait for your arrival" He said and poured the blood in front of the altar which had groves carved on it. The blood that is being poured on it started to spread and flow through these groves creating a pattern, these groves formed another shape of a pokemon, it is of Giratina''s Origin form. Its long slender body with six wings are spread out and the spikes over its body are sharp and devastating. "We should leave now, we have to do what needs to be done for the sake of our lord and free it from its banishment" The old man said and walked away with his followers Giratina the other pokemon of the Creation Trio, banished because of its violent and destructive nature. A pokemon that holds the power of wrapping reality, controlling dimensional forces and antimatter. Not much is knows about the Creation Trio, all three of them are Gods in the pokemon world only next to Arceus. People might not even know about them if the stories of their existence have not been passed down through generation for millions of years. While Dialga and Palkia were held in great respect and worshiped by the masses, Giratina was slowly forgotten but few of its worshipers remain and worship it. People only know about these three gods from the scriptures and sculptures that were created millions of years ago. The vague knowledge about them and what powers they hold is still unknown. The Scriptures state Dialga controls Time, Palkia controls Space, and Giratina controls Dimensional Forces and Anti-matter, but how much of it is true and how much is it false. There is no evidence proving nor denying these facts, they are myths and people just worship them in the name of Religion. __________________ Julian is another person who is fascinated by these three beings, he had seen them in anime in a previous life and he always thought that these three who im to hold the power of Time, Space, and Antimatter were very underwhelming in the anime. Normal humans got control over them. This always made Julianughed, Gods of the pokemon world being controlled by humans. But right now he is in reality, he knows beings who have this much power can never fall under the control of someone. Their powers are immeasurable and people who try to seek it will get themselves drowned in destruction. Julian wanted to know the limits of these three, he knew these three alongside with Arceus can ess the Omniforce, he always wondered when he reaches his limits will he be able tomand time, space and dimensional forces just like these three. Luckily God has restricted him to grow all-powerful all of a sudden, he will have to spend thousands of years to reach his peak. Chapter 272 - Ancient Temple Julian picked his phone and called Jimi. Julian "Jimi, you once told me that you want to start a Real-state business here? how did it go?" ?? Jimi "It''s still in process, my attorneys are still running around to get work done" Julian "I see, I can help you get those things but you have to help me by doing something" Jimi "What should I do" Jimi knows that one word from Julian and the league will happily do it for him so Jimi is a little excited. Julian "I want you to start your business ASAP, I want you to bring down apany for me" Jimi "Oh, whichpany is this?" Julian "Cyrus Corporation" Jimi "Ah, I have heard of him, he is a big Real-Estate businessman in Sinnoh, it will be hard" Julian "Don''t give me that, you also own a lot of Real-Estate business in Kanto and I know you have brought down your rivals through your scheming mind" Jimi "Its all business, there is no right or wrong in that" Julian "I understand, so do as I say and you can start your Real-Estate as soon as possible" Jimi "Ok then" Jimiughed. Julian ended the call and looked through his contact list again, he then called a person who works for the League, he is one of the main officers who Julian met once, his name is Elias Elias "Hello?" Julian "Mr. Elias, it''s me, Julian" Elias "Ah, mister Julian what can I do for you?" Julian "I wanted to make a request, I would like you to help a friend of mine" Elias "Sure, no worries, anything for you Mr. Julian" Julian "Thankyou" Julian exined Elias about Jimi''s business, Elias agreed and Julian''s work is over. He has started a war with Cyrus and he intends to finish it before Cyrus can do anything stupid. ____________________ Next day as Julian woke up he decided to take a look around the city properly, Eterna city is one of the oldest city in Sinnoh and it holds a history that dates back thousands and thousands of years. He wants to take a look at the two statues of Dialga and Palkia that is present in the city, he heard the local rumors stating that these two statues have been on the east side of Eterna City before Eterna city was even founded. He is curious and heads towards the east side of the city, like him many tourists are present here. A huge altar is in the middle of an open field, beyond the Alter is a huge temple, he walked towards the temple. At the entrance, the statue of the threeke guardian is ced, Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie. The threeke guardians are also the legends of Sinnoh where people say that they were also created by Arceus to bestow Willpower, Emotion, and Knowledge to the living beings, as these are the essentials that drive a living being. These three were not as mysterious as the Creation Trio as they have been spotted several times, the hardest one to find is Uxie as it will erase the memory of a person who has seen it if it feels threatened. They are also very mysterious, even though they have granted living beings so much they are not all-powerful like the creation trio, unlike the creation trio their species have started to expand while the creation trio remains only one ruling over their dimension. Julian entered the temple and as he expected he saw three huge statues. On the right, there is Dialga as it is decorated with Diamonds, on the left is Palkia as it is decorated withrge and beautiful Perls and in the middle is Arceus as the arc around its body is made from pure gold with diamond and precious crystals. There are guards around this temple 24/7 as they keep an eye on these Statues. Just a piece from these statues can cost millions, these statues are ancient historical artifacts that have withstood the challenges of time, many scientists tried to figure out why these statues are still in perfect condition but they had no luck. From then people stated that these statues are magical and hold the power to connect them with the Legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia. Julian looked at these statues and was shocked as he could sense a small amount of Omniforce constantly going around these statues. Julian ''These statues may be the key to contact them'' He thought, why would Omniforce be around these statues, he had no answer for it. Crystal also sensed the Omniforce and popped its head out of Julian''s pocket and took a sneak peek at the three statues. Julian "Crystal don''t bolt out ok, just sit there and look at it" Julian whispered to Crystal, Crystal nodded and looked at these statues with its wide eyes, it''s he first time it is seeing these majestic beings. Julian is as fascinated as Crystal, these statues are so well made and crafted, he could tell they are very old, probably a million-year-old, Sinnoh is the oldest region as the ancient civilization found here dated way back, far older than any other ancient civilization found in other regions. Julian "I cannot wait to see what our future holds, right Crystal?" Crystal "Mee?" Crystal tilted its head and looked at Arceus onest time as Julian started to explore the other areas around this ancient temple. Chapter 273 - Meeting Cynthia Julian spent quite a while inside this ancient temple, it had scriptures written on it that were on the walls of this temple, ancient legends are written by man as to how Arceus created the whole universe alongside with Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. He walked past one wall after the other as they described theke guardians and how they guard the gateway which separates this world and other dimensions, without them, the gateway cannot be opened. ?? He then moved on towards the carvings below Palkia''s statue, and it stated that Space became stable as soon as Palkia was born, it hasplete control over space allowing it to travel through dimensions with no effort, it has the power to create space and can separate itself from reality itself. He then moved on towards Dialga''s statue, it stated that it can control time to its liking. When it was born time itself started to flow and the endless cycle of the universe began, with its will alone it can freeze anything and anyonepletely separating its target from the flow of time, it can also travel through past and future with easy. Julian is more impressed by Dialga''s ability than Palkia, even though both are the most powerful ability in the universe if Julian had to choose he would choose a time. If what stated here is true, Dialga can be in multiple timelines at the same time or Multiple Dialgas in the same timeline. The concept of time is very vague to nonexistence, nobody understands it other than Dialga and maybe Celebi. After that, he moved towards Arceus, the biggest statue out of the three. It stated not much about Arceus as its whole concept is just a myth to people, there is nothing that humans or pokemon know about this God of the pokemon universe. It just states that Arceus created and shaped the whole pokemon universe with its thousand hands. Julian "Thousand hands, I think a thousand hands referred here are the Unknowns as they are the one that binds the space and time together" Julian said. "That''s quite an interesting take on this theory" A woman''s voice came from behind, Julian turns around and sees a tall woman with long blond hair, wearing a long ck coat with a ck pant and a shirt, she has four ck beads on her hair and a very confident look on her face, she oozed of confidence just by standing there. It is Cynthia, the champion of Sinnoh. Julian is surprised seeing her, as he is wearing his cloth mask Cynthia has no clue that the person in front of her is Julian, his theory of the Unknows being the thousand-arms of Arceus caught her attention. Julian nodded at her and looked back at Arceus. Julian "I think my theory may be true, not many is known about Unknow but they hold so much power, just one is useless but when they are in group, they have the power to alter reality, reality bes what they want it to be, I really think that the thousand arms or Arceus are the Unknowns as they bind space and time together" Cynthia "I never thought about this before, thanks to you I can view my theory in apletely new perspective, thank you very much" Cynthia said and bowed her head a little to show him some gratitude. Julian "There is no need for it, I am just another person who is curious about these Gods that created the whole universe where our small world resides" Cynthia "Indeed, these are majestic creatures that are the sole reason for our existence, they are gods that control this vast and expanding universe" Cynthia said as she looked at these three statues. Julian "Too bad I cannot find anything about Giratina here, the third one of the Creation Trio" Julian said and sighed. Cynthia "Giratina? yes, the pokemon that was banished for causing destruction, not many people worship Giratina anymore and they keep declining, maybe they are still few relics left of it but they are very hard to find" Julian "Who knows what really happened to Giratina, it happened millions of years ago, people might have just made that up, we are just humans and we really don''t know what these Titans really are, some treat them as god some say it''s just a myth that people in the ancient time made up" Julian said. Cynthia also got very intrigued by Julian''s word. Cynthia "What about you? do you think they exist or they are just myths to you?" Julian "I believe they do exist, there are some things in this world that cannot be exined even after being seen, these things should just be left as myths and legends so people can always fantasize about them and open up to new possibilities, that is how we humans evolve" Cynthia nodded, humans may not evolve but generation after generation new possibilities arrive on their own, this is how humans evolve through time and that is why they are still thriving after millions of years. While they are having this talk a few people in the temple notice Cynthia and rush towards her. "Look its Cynthia, the Champion Cynthia is here" Soon many people surrounded Julian and Cynthia, they just ignored Julian and closed up to Cynthia and took her photos, few bold fans of her asked her to take a picture with them, some asked for autographs. Julian sighed seeing this, he thanked himself for wearing his cloth mask, he soon made an escape from the temple and got out. Julian "Being famous is really hard" Julian sighed. Hearing him sigh Crystal mimicked him and also sighed, seeing this made Julianugh and he patted its head and tucked it into his pocket and drove off in his bike. Chapter 274 - Challenging Gardenia Back inside the Ancient temple Cynthia is busy surrounded by her fans, she also had a cover but she blew it when she got too excited to listen to Julian''s theory about the Thousand Hands of Arceus, now she is surrounded by her fans and she cannot rudely send them away, so she takes some of her time and give her fans what they want. She finished giving her fans what they want and told the rest that she has something else to do so she has to leave. ?? Suddenly she realized that she forgot about the man that she was talking to, she looked around and didn''t find him anywhere. Cynthia "He left, I didn''t even get to ask his name" She sighed and looked around one more time. Cynthia "Maybe we will meet again" She said and walked out of the ancient temple leaving her fans who watched her leave. Some of them are happy as they got a chance to meet their idol while some are a little disappointed as they weren''t able to get a photo with her or an autograph. As she walked out she saw someone staring at her, it was non other than Cyrus, seeing Cyrus here Cynthia nodded at him. He smiled and approached her. Cyrus "Miss Cynthia how are you doing today?" Cynthia "I am fine Mr. Cyrus, what are you doing here?" Cyrus "The same as usual, came here to watch the most magnificent things in Sinnoh, I am always fascinated by them no matter how many times I look at them" Cynthia "I understand, I will take my leave then, Mr. Cyrus" Cynthia walked past him and he did the same, she looked back and stared at him for a few seconds. Cynthia ''I don''t like that man, he seems very weird for some reason'' She thought and left. ______________________ Back to Julian as he head in search of other things in this city, after a day of looking around it was finally time to challenge the second gym. Next day he headed to the forest near the city for some training, he needed to train them properly, every time he trains and makes them grow he grows with them, spending time with his new pokemon always make him a better trainer than he was before. They grow stronger and stronger, by every day as Julian trains them. Victini has had a lot of improvement and is now more stable with its control over its elements, and the rest is growing at a normal pace. Julian spent two days training them in different fields and build them up to counter their weakness. _______________________ Today is the day Julian decided to challenge the Eterna gym but before that, he did some research on his next opponent. The next gym leader is Gardenia, she is a grass type trainer, it seems like she has to sets of pokemons for each type of trainers, one is for trainers who have less than four badges and the ones who have more than four. Turtwig, Cherrim, and Roserade from the trainers under four. Jumpluff, Cherrim, Bellossom, Torterra, Roserade were from the once who she uses for the once who have more than four. Julian ''She will be using those three, from the records she seems to be very efficient in her battle strategies, she has won most of her first challenges by the trainer, 8:2 of a ratio'' After doing his research he decided to take on Gardenia so he directly went to her gym, he soon arrived it outside the gym, like other gyms this is not situated in the middle of the city, its actually in the middle of a huge public garden of this city. Gardenia is known for her love to grass type pokemons and how much she surrounds herself with vegetation. Julian looks at the huge dome-shaped building in front of him which is covered with leaves and flowers, the scenery around the gym is also the same, surrounded by colorful flowers everywhere, he sees some grass pokemon hanging around these parts. It seems they haveplete freedom to roam here, seeing how well maintained this ce is Julian doesn''t doubt that lot of grass-type pokemons want toe here and enjoy there time. As he walked in he sees more nts and grass-type pokemons hanging around the lobby area, Julian sees an old man who seems to be the caretaker of this ce. Seeing Julian the caretaker approached him. Caretaker "You must havee here to challenge Gardenia, why don''t you go and wait at the battlefield, I will go and inform Gardenia" Julian "Sure" Julian nodded and walked towards the battlefield, as he walked in he saw the roof are transparent is covered with veins, the sunlight passes through those ss roof easily, a grass type pokemon can really perform great under this battlefield, and if it knows Sr Beam the chances of it charging up faster is greater. As he looks around he sees a Turtwig running around at the edge of the battlefield, it seems to be ying. Julian''s wait is over as a woman soon walks in, she has orange short hair and wearing a short green cape over a ck top and an orange half pants. She is the gym leader of this gym Gardenia, seeing Gardenia the Turtwig which was running around just now ran towards her. Gardenia "Turtwig, there you are I was looking for you all over the ce" She said and lifted it up in her arms, she then turned around and looked at Julian who has his lower face covered with a mask. He is doing this so that his opponents don''t get overwhelmed by him. Gardenia "You must be the challenger, how many badges do you have?" Julian "Just one" Gardenia "Are you sure you are ready to challenge me, I don''t go easy just because you started your journey" Julian "I am" Gardenia "Ok then, I ept your challenge" She said and walked towards the other end of the battlefield and took her stance as her Turtwig joined her. Chapter 275 - Julian Vs Gardenia Gardenia took her ce so did Julian as they wait for the referee, soon the same old man who asked Julian to wait here came in. He also seems to be the referee here. ? ? Referee "Are you both ready" He asked. Julian nodded his head and so did Gardenia, as they are ready for battle. Referee "Then let me exin the rules, this will be a three on three battle, during the battle only the challenger is allowed to switch between an ongoing battle, the trainer at the end with no pokemon left will lose, are the rules clear" Julian and Gardenia nod their heads in confirmation. Referee "Then you may choose your pokemons" Gardenia "I choose Cherrim" She sent out her first pokemon, Cherrim. Julian "Go Victini" Julian sent out his Victini, many wouldn''t want to use their mysterious pokemon for battles. If it was before Julian might have not done that as well but now things are different, things have changed, he holds power and he wants to treat all his pokemons equally whether they are mythical, special or just normal. Back when he had Heatran with him, he didn''t use him much because he didn''t want attention on him, he didn''t have the power or backing of some big-name, even though he had his pokemons that were strong but they were not in their peak, they could take down 20 to 30 but if he got ambushed by hundreds in numbers it would be troublesome. But now things are different, he has power, money, fame and his old pokemons are near their max potential, they may even breakthrough new heights so he has nothing to worry now. He wanted all his pokemon to be treated equally, not like Heatran back in the days where he had to avoid him from the public eyes, even though he cared for Heatran as much as his other pokemons he always felt a little guilty for not bringing him out to the public. Seeing Victini Gardenia''s eyes went wide, she is seeing a Mythical pokemon in front of her, a living breathing Mythical pokemon that is Victini. Mythical pokemons are extremely rare and people who possess them are either very good trainers or have a very pure heart, in case of Victory its trainer must possess the undying will and a brave heart. Gardenia "A Victini" She eximed and looked at Julian once again, she now took this man who is wearing a mask in front of her very seriously, she could tell Victini is young so it''s not at its full potential but still to be able to catch one meant that the trainer is also exceptional. Gardenia "I didn''t think I would be so lucky today to witness a Mythical pokemon and to battle it" Gardenia said and she carefully observed Victini. Victini is excited for its first pokemon battle with Julian, they have trained very hard and tried to understand each other for the time they have been together. Crystal popped out its head from Julian''s pocket and mewed and cheered for Victini. Gardenia heard this mewing but she couldn''t make out the shape of Crystal as its head is covered a little by the top strap of Julian''s coat pocket. Victini looked at Crystal and showed its signature V sign with its finger stating that it will be victories. Referee "Challenger are you ready?" Julian "Yes" Referee "Gym Leader are you ready?" Gardenia "Yes" Referee "Then, let the battle begin" He signals the start of this battle with a double hand gesture. Gardenia "Cherrim use Leech Seed" Gardenia made the first move, her Cherrim sent out multiple seeds towards Victini. Julian "Victini, use Incinerate" Victini sent out a st of fire and incinerated the Leech Seeds. Gardenia "Cherrim use Tackle" Cherrim charged towards Victini. Julian "Use Reversal" Victini moved away from and grabbed Cherrim and used Reversal, Reversal deals more damage the lower the opponent''s health is so Cherrim didn''t receive much damage. Julian "Victini use Teleport, then Fire Punch" Victini teleported and disappeared from its spot and suddenly appeared behind Cherrim and used Fire Punch just as Julian instructed. Gardenia "Now use Seed Bomb" Cherrim suddenly hit the ground with a Seed Bomb causing a big explosion causing both of them to fly back and roll on the ground. Julian ''Interesting, she prefers can use self-damaging moves when it''s necessary'' Julian "Victini, use Teleport once again" Victini disappeared. Gardenia "Cherrim use another Seed Bomb as soon as Victini appears" But Victini didn''t appear next to Cherrim but few meters away and sted an Incinerate towards Cherrim, being caught off guard Cherrim got hit by Incinerate and sent flying across the battlefield. Cherrim is seriously hurt by this fire type move, but it still gets back to its feet. Gardenia "Cherrim lets go all out, use Sr Beam" Cherrim started to gather up sr energy. Julian "Use Teleport and then Fire Punch" Since Cherrim is still gathering energy it cannot move so Victini appeared behind Cherrim and punched it with a Fire Punch and sent Cherrim flying as it crashed on the ground and suddenly the Burning effect took ce and added the extra damage, Cherrim copsed on the ground and fainted. Referee "Cherrim is unable to battle, Victini wins". Chapter 276 - Julian Vs Gardenia (2) Gardenia''s first pokemon is down and she has to choose her second pokemon, Victini''s teleport seems to be very hard to deal with as her Cherrim was just too slow to dodge such close range attacks. Gardenia "Cherrim, you did great, you can rest now" ?? She sent back her Cherrim and sent out her next pokemon. Gardenia "Go Roserade" She sent out her Roserade, Roserade is a Special Attacker with high speed so it might put up a good fight if it doesn''t get hit by a powerful fire-type move. Gardenia "Do you want to switch?" Julian "I will stick with Victini" Victini also hyped itself with its signature victory sign boosting up it''s fighting spirit. Gardenia "Roserade, use Grassy Terrain" Roserade then emitted a green beam which covered the whole battlefield and turned it into a grass terrain. Grassy Terrain will boost the powers of grass-type moves but it also heals pokemon that are on the ground every second, so Victini can heal itself by just standing on the ground. Gardenia "Roserade, now use Pin Missile" Roserade sent out multiple Pin Missiles that charged towards Victini in weird pattern and it was all over the ce. Julian "Victini, use Teleport to dodge them" Victini used Teleport and dodged one after the other as the Pin Missiles keep oning. Gardenia "Now Giga Drain" As soon as Victini appears once again Roserade has already closed up and grabs Victini to use Giga Drain but Victini uses Teleport again and disappears from Roserade''s grip and appears right behind it. Julian "Now Fire Punch" Victini then uses Fire Punch to attack Roserade. Gardenia "Intercept that with Spikes" Roserade turns around quickly and ms the ground with its hand and suddenly an earth spikees between Roserade and Victini''s Fire Punch. The spike shatters but Roserade got enough time to move away tounch another attack. Gardenia "Now, Seed Bomb" Roserade sends a flying Seed Bomb towards Victini and Victini gets hit by it, Victini is sent flying back but uses its psychic energy to stabilize itself from hitting hard on the ground. Julian "Teleport" Gardenia "I won''t fall for that again, Roserade use Dazzling Gleam" Dazzling Gleam is an all-area attack so Victini should get hit but when Roserade did use this move Victini is nowhere to be seen. Julian "Now Incinerate" Suddenly a huge ming stes from the above and hits Roserade on point, Victini had teleported towards the roof and used the thick veins as cover while the gleam just got reflected by the smooth surface of the ss ceiling, hence Victini ispletely unaffected. Roserade is on the ground and has received some damage from that Incinerate, Roserade soon gets up back on its feet and stares at Victini. Both of them are going one after other continuously but they are not able tond powerful hits but Victini ended that. Teleport is something very annoying and many trainers face problem while dealing with it unless they have ghost type or dark type pokemon on them. Julian "Teleport" Julian just knew how to use Teleport so he would keep making his pokemons do so as at some point it will break his opponent mental state. And that didn''t take long for Gardenia''s to break as well. Gardenia "This is getting annoying, Roserade use Petal Dance" Gardenia went with a wide area powerful move, just what Julian wanted her to use. Julian "Now Fire Punch" Using such moves cost a lot of power and executing it will take a few seconds and that is enough for Victini tond a hit and it is sessful. Victini appeared right behind Roserade andnded another Fire Punch and sent Roserade flying as it hit the ground and continued rolling onward. Julian "me Charge" Victini used me Charge and dashed towards the fallen Roserade with speed and crashed into it and sent it on another rolling spree. Julian "Finish it, Searing Shot" Victini created a huge zing fireball and tossed it towards Roserade, Roserade got hit by it and causing a big st and Roserade fell on the ground, knocked out. Referee "Roserade is unable to battle, Victini wins" Victini scored its second win and showed its victory signature again in confidence. Crystal voice also could be heard once again as it cheered for Victini, it tried to mimic Victini pose but realized that its fingers are too small. It wanted to cry but Julian noticed it before and patted it to calm it down. Gardenia stared at Victini, she could tell that her Roserade and Victini were equally strong but at the end, Victini and Julian had the better way to counter them. She sighed and sent back Roserade to its Pokeball. Gardenia "You are myst choice, I choose you" Gardenia sent out a Breloom. Julian is surprised by this choice, Breloom is a Grass/Fighting-type, it has no advantage in both its typing as Victini is a Psychic/Fire-type. Julian "A weird choice but interesting, I wonder what it holds" Gardenia "You will know". Chapter 277 - Julian Vs Gardenia (3) Gardenia seems to be very confident in her choice, Julian didn''t know she had a Breloom, from the things he searched on the inte nothing specified on her Breloom, she either just caught it or it''s her secret pokemon that she uses to battle stronger opponents. Now Julian wants to see what this Breloom is really made off, Brelooms are good pokemon but their pre-evolutions are very weak, even after training they don''t develop until they evolve so many don''t raise them, but when it evolves it bes a really good physical attacker. ?? Gardenia "Breloom, let''s begin, attack using Mach Punch" As Gardenia gave hermand Breloom bolted towards Victini Julian ''Its really fast'' Julian is really surprised by how fast this Breloom moves. Julian "Teleport" Victini disappears and reappears far away, Mach Punch can never be missed but if there is no target to hit then it will miss, Teleport is really a useful skill but Julian has to stop using it at one point as it will soon drain Victini''s powers and it will feel tired. Gardenia "Breloom use Stone Edge" Breloom started to use the big moves from the start. Julian "Use Brick Break" Since Gardenia is going big Julian also decided to go head-on, he cannot keep using Teleport or Victini won''t have enough energy to finish the battle with its powerful special attack. Victini shattered the Stone Edge with the Brick Break. Gardenia "Breloom use Force Palm" Julian "Fire Punch" Both of them once again exchanged moves and this time it is Breloom who got the upper hand and sent Victini rolling in the sky but that is what Julian needed, he needed to make some distance between Victini and Breloom, since Breloom is too fast and he cannot afford to use too many teleports. With this Exchange, Julian has the right distance for Victini to make the final move, but Gardenia made another move. Gardenia "Use Sky Uppercut" Julian "Counter with Fire Punch again" Victini used Fire Punch and exchanged one more hit, Victini went even higher than before and Breloom is now having the effects of exchanging blows with Victini''s fire type moves, its knees has be sore. Itnded on the ground and went on its knee as the pain took in, it greeted its teeth. Julian ''Victini is too far, its attack won''tnd unless Breloom gets a little closer'' Julian "Victini, use Incinerate" Victini sent another st of mes towards Breloom. Gardenia " Dodge it and use Sky Uppercut again" Since the attack was from far away Breloom easily dodged the attack and charged towards Victini and jumped high with its powerful legs using Sky Uppercut. Julian "Victini, let''s finish this, use Searing Shot" This is Victini''s most powerful move right now unless it learns the move Overheat or it''s signature move V-Create. A ring of zing mes expanded and engulfed everything around Victini, including Breloom who was charging at it. Being engulfed in this hot mes it got sted back to the ground. Victini adjusted itself with its psychic energy andnded on the ground, Breloom got back to its feet barely and it was about to attack Victini again but the Burn effect kicked and Breloom got zed by fire. It copsed on the ground and fainted, Victini is also very tired and huffed heavily, it then looked at Julian and Crystal and showed its victory signature. Julian smiled, and Crystal used its tiny fingers to do the same but when it saw its tiny fingers it wanted to cry as it cannot do the victory sign, luckily Julian calmed it down before it started to cry. Referee "Breloom is unable to battle, Victini wins, the winner of this challenge is the challenger" The result is in, Julian has won. Gardenia sighs and sends her Breloom back to its Pokeball. She then approached Julian and took out a badge from her pocket and handed it over to Julian, it''s the Forest Badge. Gardenia "Its the first time I have faced a trainer as strong as you, and your Victini is really special" Julian "Thankyou, I am also very impressed by your battle style" Gardenia "By the way what is your name?" Julian "It''s Julian" Gardenia "Julian? Ah its the same name as the previous Champion of Kanto" Julian "Yes, I will be going then" Julian smiled and walked away, Victini hopped onto his shoulder and talked with Crystal. Too bad Gardenia doesn''t know that she just talked to Julian. Julian soon walked out of the gym and noticed that the pokemons present here. Julian ''They must have run away after hearing all those explosions inside'' He thought and looked into his phone. Julian ''I cannot go to Snowpoint city as the gym there also has a more than five badges rule, my next stop is either Veilstone City or Hearthome City'' Julian looked for a while and decided to go to Hearthome City as its the closest one and there seems to be forest area, he might catch some pokemons there. Julian ''Ok next stop Hearthome city''. Chapter 278 - Cyndee Julian''s next destination Hearthome city is one of the biggest cities in Sinnoh and home to many tourist attraction, its main attraction is a contest hall but the contest that is held there is not a normal one but an extended version, in this contest pokemons, are based purely on their looks and performance, they don''t do battles in this contest like other contest where battle is done to decide. There are other things in Hearthome city as well such as a pokemon spa. ?? Julian knew he needs to give all his pokemon a good time to enjoy themselves so a spa treatment. There are other things in Hearthome city that Julian wants to explore, but before that, he needs to get out of Eterna City. The following day he left for Hearthome city, but before he can reach Hearthome city he has to go through Celestic town, he has read that this town is the oldest in Sinnoh, it has been in Sinnoh from the very beginning. Knowing that this is an ancient town Julian is interested in checking it out, he might find some ruins there. During his travel, he would train and y with his pokemons and bond with them as it is essential and during his free time he will speak with Chloe and Daisy who seems to be very busy with their won work in Kalos. Chloe is going through every type of training an uing actress has to go, luckily Julian''s Flygon is with her and he doesn''t need to worry about her and she also has her Smence. Daisy is also doing her training and honing her skills, luckily she has Gardevoir with her as she is one of Julian''s strongest pokemons he has ever trained. His small pokemons are getting along with his older pokemons so Julian thinks its time for them to meet his other pokemons as well but he has to reach Hearthome city to call them all back. ___________________ After days of camping and riding, he finally reached the outskirts of Celestic town, as he was about to enter he saw the huge gate of the town, it looked ancient and there seem to be carvings all over it, at first nce it really looks like an ancient town. He soon enters the town and like any other normal town, people are busy doing their things, seeing a trainer every day passing through their town is normal as many trainers do this every day. This is also the home town of the Champion Cynthia so many of her fanse here and with that, they check out the ancient ruins of this town. Julian decided to walk on his feet from here and put his bike away. The town is peaceful and Julian liked it, Crystal seems to have woken up and popped out its head and looked around the green vige, it got excited seeing new scenery and came out of Julian''s pocket to look around. Julian just let Crystal explore, Crystal flew around the ce looking at flowers and dew of water on the leaves. "Wow, what pokemon is that?" Suddenly Julian heard a voice from behind, he turned around and saw a small girl with blond hair and grey eyes, she seems to be 5 or 6 years old, she is wearing a blue dress. She is looking at Crystal with eyes filled with curiosity. Crystal came back to Julian and went into his pocket once again. "Mister, is that your pokemons?" The small girl asked and looked at Julian with curiosity. Julian removed his mask and squatted down to her level and nodded. Julian "Yes, do you want to meet it, its name is Crystal" Julian said and called out Crystal, Crystal popped out its head and looked at the little girl. "Wow such a pretty name, hi Crystal my name is Cyndee" Cyndee waved her hand at Crystal, Crystal also did the same, Cyndee looked at Crystal''s red crystal with sparkling eyes. Cyndee "Is that an essory Crystal wears Mister?" She asked Julian as she pointed at the red crystal on Crystal''s head. Julian "No that is part of Crystal''s body" Cyndee"Wow, sooo cool, what pokemon is Crystal mister?" Julian "Crystal is a very rare pokemon, so no one knows what pokemon Crystal is" Cyndee "Wow, so you are taking care of Crystal?" Julian "Yes, I am its trainer, I have been taking care of Crystal from the time it was just an egg" Cyndee "Wow, I also raised a pokemon when it was just an egg" Cyndee said and smiled as she tried to poke Crystal''s nose but Crystal keeps dodging it. Julian "That''s great, you will surely be a great pokemon trainer" Cyndee "Yes, I will be strong just like my sister" Julian smiled and nodded. Cyndee "By the way what is your name, Mister?" Julian "My name is Julian" Cyndee "Mister Julian can I y with Crystal a little more, my house is just here" She said and pointed at a medium-sized house across the road. Cyndee "There is also the pokemon I helped my grandma to hatch, it''s my friend, can you pleasee with me" Julian "Ok you can y with Crystal but only for a little time, I have other things to do" Cyndee "Yaaaa, Crystal let''s go I will introduce you to my other friend" Cyndee said and ran towards her house and Crystal followed behind her. Julian also joined them, he sat beside and watched as Cyndee brought out a small pokemon with her, it is a Togepi. Julian is surprised, Togepi are very rare pokemons, they are very rare even in the wild, he looked carefully at Togepi and realized that it is a young one. Julian "A Togepi, is this the pokemon you helped your grandma to hatch?" Cyndee "Yes, this is my friend Togepi, I and grandma stayed with it day and night to take care of it" She said and started to y with the two. He sat on the side and watched them, Togepi would asionally look at him and try to approach his with its small legs but would get pulled back into the y by Crystal and Cyndee. Chapter 279 - Togepi Julian watched the three y around, soon Cyndee got tired and sat down next to Julian and breathed heavily. Cynthia "Haha, it was fun, Mister Julian you should y with us to" ?? She said and smiled at Julian. Julian "You should rest, you are too tired now" He said. Togepi finally got to get closer to Julian and as soon at it did, it hugged Julian''s hand and fell asleep. Cyndee "Look Togepi really likes you" She said andughed. "Little Cyndee where are you?" Suddenly Julian heard an olddy''s voice. Cyndee "Grandma I am here" Cyndee said and got up and ran inside. Cyndee "Grandmae with me, you should meet Mister Julian and Crystal" Soon Cyndee dragged an old woman with her outside, Julian turns around and saw who it is, he was surprised to see this woman here as he has seen her before in TVs and other inte videos. The Old woman is also equally surprised to see the young man in front of her. Julian "I didn''t expect to meet the famous Professor Caroline" Caroline "Neither did I expect to see the previous Champion of Kanto in my house" Julian smiled and looked at Cyndee. Julian ''So she is Cynthia''s sister, they both do have the same eyes and hair, I should have realized it earlier'' He though. Julian "This little one wanted to y so she brought me here" He said and looked at Caroline. Caroline "Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope she didn''t trouble you" Caroline apologized. Julian "No need to apologize, she didn''t trouble me" Cyndee "Grandma do you know Mister Julian" Caroline "Yes, he is a very strong trainer, everybody knows him" Cyndee "Really? even stronger than, big sister?" Caroline "Yes, even stronger than your big sister" Cyndee put on a surprised face and looked at Julian, she thought that her sister was the strongest but now her grandma is telling her that this man is the strongest trainer. Julian smiled and crouched down to her level. Julian "Now, Cyndee I hope you keep this a secret ok, it should only be between me you and your grandma about me being here ok?" Cyndee "Why?" Julian "Because if people find out I am here, they wille and take pictures of me" Cyndee "You don''t like your pictures being taken?" Julian "No I don''t" Cyndee "Ok, I promise I won''t tell anyone, not even my sister" Julian "Thankyou very much" Julian got up and looked at Caroline. Julian "I hope you can do that for me as well" Caroline "Don''t worry, I won''t tell anyone, I understand how hard the life of a famous person is" Julian smiled and nodded, suddenly Caroline notices Crystal who popped its head and looked at Caroline. Caroline "Is that a Mew?" She eximed and approached Crystal, Crystal went back into his pocket and hid away. Julian "No, it''s an unknown Pokemon, I found an egg and this little one came out from it" Caroline "A new species of pokemon, fascinating" She eximed once again. Julian didn''t tell her that Crystal is a mutated Mew because an unknown new species of pokemon is still lowkey than a normal Mew. Julian then suddenly realized that the Togepi that fell asleep on his arm is stilltched onto him and sleeping. Caroline also noticed this. Caroline "Togepi looks to be attached to you, will you do me a favor and take it with you?" Caroline asked. She said so because she won''t mostly be in this house as she always has to travel around the world and Cyndee is still a 6-year-old child and she cannot take care of it, Cynthia is too busy on her own as she is also a champion and she cannot. She was thinking about giving Togepi to her granddaughter Cynthia but now seeing Togepi so close to Julian even though it just met him, she could tell Julian could take care of it. Hearing Caroline Cyndee looked at her. Julian "Are you sure, Cyndee seems to be attached to Togepi?" Julian asked as he is surprised by Caroline as well. Cyndee "Grandma is Togepi going to leave with Mister Julian" Caroline "Little Cyndee, you are small and you cannot take care of Togepi all by yourself, I cannot stay here as I will be busy, your sister Cynthia is also busy with her work and pokemon and you will also have to leave for pokemon school after a month, there will be no one to take care of Togepi then" Cyndee "But I can take care of Togepi" Caroline "Listen Cyndee, you are still young and I am saying this for Togepi''s own good, Mister Julian here is the best pokemon trainer and he can take really good care of Togepi and Togepi will be very happy with Julian as well, look how peaceful it is sleeping" Cyndee is sad and bowed her head down, then looked at Julian. Cyndee "Mister Julian can you take care of Togepi really good?" Julian "Only if you want to" Julian smiled. Cyndee looked at Crystal and saw how happy it is with Julian. Cyndee "Ok Grandma, Togepi can go with Mister Julian" Caroline "Ok, little Cyndee you are such a sweetheart, I know Togepi will be really happy" Cyndee looked at Julian once again. Cyndee "Mister Julian promise me that Togepi will be happy" Julian "I promise, and when you grow up, I will personally give you your very own special pokemon with whom you can start your journey with" Cyndee "Really?" She asked excitedly. Julian "Of course, but till then you should learn everything about pokemons in pokemon school so that you will be able to take care of your partner" Cyndee "I will" Julian smiled. Caroline "Thankyou" Julian "No problem, I will be leaving tomorrow but I need a ce to stay here tonight" Caroline "You can stay here, and Cyndee can spend some time with Togepi before you leave" Julian thanked her as he got a ce to stay, Cyndee is happy that she can spend more time with Togepi. Chapter 280 - Gengars Defeat Now that he has a ce to stay for the night, he decided to look into the ruins present here in this city, being an ancient town that is reported to be even older than Eterna city he had to take a look at it. He left the house in search of ruins around the city, there seems to be some that are already found so he decided to take a look at them first. ?? When he arrived there he saw a stone tablet in front of a tomb, the stone tablet had the carvings of the threeke guardian and between them, there seem to be three crystal carvings. One is like a normal crystal with rough edges and asymmetrical in shape, One is shaped like a sphere, and other is shaped like a spherical nanogon with differently sized sides, these crystals seem to hold some mystery as well, he then looked at the ruins, he saw tall rocks ced in a pattern. This seemed like some kind of alter which might have been used to worship the Creation Trio, like the temple in Eterna city this one also had sculptures of Giratina alongside with Dialga and Palkia, the town believed that even if Giratina was banished it is still one of the reasons for their existence so they worship all three of them here. Julian found the same saying here as well, along with Arceus they created the universe, he found something else that was not mentioned in the temple of Eterna. The three crystals that he saw at the beginning of this ruin are actually the orbs that hold the will of the three creation trio itself, and the three Guardian are responsible to protect them, just these three orbs can bring an end to this small world in this infinite universe. If it falls on the wrong hands it will be a huge disaster. The first crystal, the one which is Asymmetrical in shape is called the Griseous Orb, it holds the will of Giratina. The second crystal, the sphere is called Lustrous Orb, it holds the will of Palkia. The third crystal, the spherical nanogon is called Adamant Orb, it holds the will of Dialga. These three orbs can bring disaster but luckily the three guardians are the only one that knows where these orbs locations are. After getting more knowledge about the ancient civilization Julian tried to find other ruins but he was out of his luck, he didn''t find any and the day was sooning to an end. He decided to go back to Cyndee''s ce Julian stay in Cyndee''s house went well and he got time to bond with Togepi, Togepi is actually a she, he spent time with Togepi and let his other pokemons do so as well, Manaphy as always the first one to befriend Togepi due to its nature, thenes Gible who will charge into anyone without concern, luckily he didn''t charge at Togepi and knocked her out. Togepi also feltfort when staying with Julian, Togepi shares happiness with others when it is showered with joy and kindness, Julian''s pokemon did the same for her, and being around Julian made her feel safe due to his aura. Julian also has many things in his mind, he cannot let Togepi battle because Togepi don''t possess powerful attack or special attack, even though her defense may be high it wont matter if the opponent receives no damage, what Julian has to do is just wait and let Togepi evolve, once it does its Special attack and defense will rise significantly and he will have a perfect member for his team, and with Togepi''s presence all his pokemons will be happy all the time. Of all his pokemon Gengar had the most surprising reaction, he always loved to scare all of Jn''s new pokemon but when he tried to do the same with Togepi, Togepi ran towards him and hugged him, this scared Gengar at the beginning, he never saw a pokemon charge at him so fearlessly with a big smile on their face. He got disappointed and went back to Julian''s shadow with a sense of defeat, but he won''t give up so easily, he tried many times to scare Togepi but would always get hugged happily by Togepi instead, this traumatized Gengar a little, he even started to question himself and asked himself if he has lost his scariness. Julian justughed at it, but Gengar is not the type to stick to something for much longer, after continuous defeat, he just let go of the thought of scaring Togepi. The next day Julian had to leave and Cyndee was sad letting go of Togepi but Togepi shared her happiness with her and made her feel better. Saying their goodbyes Julian left with Crystal in his pocket and the rest of his pokemon inside their ball except Gengar who stays in the shadow. Julian''s next stop is Hearthome city and it will take him some time to reach there but until then, its the same old usual days of traveling and having fun with his pokemon. ____________________ In Veilstone city in a huge skyscraper, on its roof a chopper camending, men in team gctic suits stood there as they looked at the iing chopper. The choppernded and Cyrus came out and looked around, one of the grunts approached him. Grunt "Boss there seem to be some violent readingsing from Mt. Cor" Cyrus "Did you find the source?" Grunt "No boss the readings are very violent we cannot even get through the firstyer, the signal will just get consumed after that" Cyrus ''Interesting, I have to give a visit to Mt. Cor then'' He thought and walked away. Chapter 281 - Fake Orb Before Julian decided to go to Hearthome city he decided to take a detour to Mt. Cor, thergest mountain in Sinnoh and also its highest peak, this mountain is surrounded by mystery and no one till this day has reached the top of this mountain, it is said that this mountain holds the Spear pir which can open the gateway to the dimensions where the Creation trio lives. If it is about the creation trio then Julian will go and look for it. ?? Before that, he has to prepare some equipment because he cannot ride his bike after a certain point in the mountain range, the roads are too rough and small and there will be a lot of wild pokemons around the area that can jump out and attack out of nowhere. After getting the gears he looked at the mountain, even though he has not reached there yet, he could still see the mountain, the top of the mountain is covered by clouds and its peak cannot be seen. Not many people have reached the top, many tired but failed, they said that they were trapped in an endless mage, and when they finally got lost and gave up, they found themselves back at the entrance of the maze. Some ims to have reached the top but those are all just attention seekers. Once a group of scientist decided to go through from the top using a helicopter but that group was never to be found again. Nobody knows what happened to them, some say they are dead, some say they found something there and don''t want to share it with the world due to their greediness. Julian wants to see what really is on top of that mountain. Legends say that the Sphere pir can only be seen and be visited by those who have one of the orbs on their possession. The orbs are the key to get to the top, and since the orbs are nowhere to be found people forgot about this legend. Now people only try to do the maze for fun, some think they might get lucky while others just go there to have some fun time with their partners. ___________________ Julian finally reached the entrance of the mountain, from here on he has to ride slowly and after that when he reaches a checkpoint he has to walk. Julian looks up the path and smiles, he hits the elerator and drives up the road that goes round and round across the mountain until the maze entrance is near. He was able to drive for a while but the road soon got very rocky and he had to get off his bike, he stored it away and looked down. The views from here are quite exceptional, he could see few cities from here, the house down on the ground are already barely visible and he has only reached a quarter way mark of this mountain. He looks up and sees the mountain''s peak but its not visible at all because it is over the clouds. Julian "I can do nothing but walk I guess" He said and started to walk through the rocky mountain path, he brought out Infernape to keep the atmosphere warm so that Crystal won''t feel cold and there might also be some rock boulders that might block the way. These boulder blocks aremon in mountain paths, people who want to climb the mountain alone must have a strong pokemon to remove the boulder from their path, those who go in groups and don''t have a strong pokemon hire guide that will certainly have a powerful pokemon with them. Walking up the mountain is no difficult task for Julian but it takes a lot of time, he saw many trainers and tourist on the way, some of theming down while others are walking up slowly. After walked for a while he finally found a trge surface to set up a camp because he knows he cannot climb up this mountain in one day, it''s too damn big. Julian let out his pokemon, all of them and let them do as they please unless they get far from him, luckily his older pokemon are more responsible and is taking care of his younger ones. As nightfall they all went to sleep, Julian also got in his tent and closed his eyes and fell asleep. While he is asleep, on the top of the mountain, few ck men have gathered around the Sphere pir with shiny yellow tinum-gold color crystal in their hands. The one who is holding this crystal is the same old man that was seen inside the Giratina''s ruin, they are the worshiper of Giratina, the remaining men who are his followers are on their knees chanting something. "Oh great lord, hear our call, bless us with your might so that we can fulfill your wish" The old man said while his men kept on chanting. The Crystal in his hand released a dark, icy aura and toughed the Sphere pir, suddenly the aura around the surroundings started to change and the air started to vibrate, the atmosphere grew cold and the wind''s speed started to rise, the sphere pir suddenly started to glow dark. "Hahahahahaha, finally our Lord wille and destroy this foul world and create a new one where we will be the rulers, hahahaha" The Old manughed but suddenly the crystal in his hand suddenly cracked and shattered causing a huge explosion to rue. The dark energy that had umted around the sphere pir suddenly burst out and a wave of energy went all over the area and disappeared, and the things went back to how they were. The old man is on the ground immobilized, but he soon struggled and got up, he looked at his bloody hands. "How? we tried to replicate the Griseous as it should have been, how did it fail again?" He asked himself as his eyes disyed madness in them, his followers just looked at him. "We cannot give up, the lord has toe and gift us his powers so we can fulfill his wish, we need the real orb, get to work, we need to find the real one and summon the lord" He said and got back to his feet and walked away followed by his followers. Chapter 282 - Spending The Day In The Maze Julian who is peacefully sleeping suddenly woke up as he felt the st of energy that came from the top of the mountain. Julian "What was that?" ?? He said as he got out of the tent and looked up, just like him Infernape and Crystal also woke up and looked at the top. Julian ''I felt Omniforce going wild just a second ago'' He thought and looked at Infernape and Crystal. Julian ''And it looks like I was not the only one who felt it, I have to get up there and see what really is there'' He went back to sleep, decided to get up there tomorrow because climbing the mountain at night is stupid. __________________ Next day Julian is on the head out again, the thing is it''s about to snow heavily around here but and he needs to find and cave or shelter soon. The snow got heavy by time passed but Julian soon found the entrance of the maze which is a cave, as he entered the cave he saw few men and women have set up some camps here. He didn''t give any attention to them as they are just avoiding the snowstorm outside, he soon continues his path deeper into the cave, just like him, few people are also going deeper into the cave to try out the maze for themselves. Since it has already been proven that after getting lost and tired the travelers found themselves in front of the exit no matter what. This was very strange at first but with passing time people havee to except it and regards it as one of the mysterious miracles in Sinnoh and Mt. Cor. He noticed people around him, some in a group and some single, as he got deeper into the cave he finally came across the start of the maze. The start point actually has three entrance and each of theses entrance has a crystal-shaped carved on top of it, these crystal-shaped carvings are the same one Julian saw in the ruins present in Celestic town, the three orbs that hold the will of the creation trio. Julian found it weird for these crystal carvings to be on top of these entrances, from what he knows there is only one sphere pir, so why does it need three entrances and why does each of them have a different carving on them. He wondered and randomly chose the middle path and walked in, just like any other cave it is dark and cold, Julian asked Gengar to map the cave ande back to him. Gengar blended into the dark shadows of the cave and went away, Julian maintained his pace and he soon found himself in trouble, he saw many ways but he couldn''t decide which one to take. He stood there and took a look at all of them, just like him there are few people with him who also choose the middle path, just like him, they are also stuck here and can''t decide which path to take. Julian just waits for them to decide and chose their path, he sees all of them enter one after the other in a different path, what he noticed more was that no one took the same path after a person just entered it. It was really weird, from what he knows a person will choose a path that is already chosen before to be more secure but right here they all chose a different path. But there is one path the wasn''t chosen by anybody. When Julian looked at this path he also felt like not going in, he felt weird, why did he feel this way. Suddenly he noticed Gengar came back and shook his head as he found nothing. Julian frowned and looked at the path that wasn''t taken by anyone. Julian "Did you go in there?" He asked as he pointed at that path. Gengar looked at the path and got confused and scratched his head, he also felt like not going in there, it felt nothing interesting will happen if he goes in. Gengar shook his head saying that he didn''t go in. Julian ''Now this is interesting, I have been here for five minutes and I saw people entering one path at a time but no this one, even Gengar didn''t go in even after I told him to check all the path'' He thought and walked towards the path, the closer he walked towards the path the more he felt uninterested in it Seeing that he is somehow getting effected by this he enforced his mind and help Gengar to free themselves from this weird sensation. The feeling that was just looming over them disappeared, Julian smiled and walked into the path, as he did he felt it, Omniforce all over the cave, it was not concentrated but it is there, Julian could feel it, it somehow seemed diluted. He walked forward as Gengar kept an eye, Julian also called out Infernape as he might be of help as well. Just like they said, it was a long and excruciating maze and Julian had to go over and over the same path many times to reach a dead-end 80% of the time, but he didn''t give up, he knew that it is already night and his pokemon need their food and rest. And so he has to set up a camp inside this maze itself, he warned his pokemon not to wander off. Spending time inside a cold dark cave which is also a huge maze might be scary but when all the scary things are actually your own pokemons, then its nothing to be a concern about. Julian constantly kept track of time and after sending a day inside this cave-like maze he finally was able to see the light at the other end, he is not sure if he hase to the starting point or the end. He did leave marking on his way but he didn''t do it when he entered the cave so he has no idea. He walked forward and soones of the cave and covers his eyes as the warm sunlight hits his face, being in a dark ce for a whole day is really troublesome. Once his eyes got used to the bright sunlight he looked forward and sighed, it was not the entrance from where he walked into the maze but the exit. He took his time and looked at what is in front of him. Chapter 283 - The Spear Pillar Julian looked at hugendmass in front of him, a tall peak and on top of this peak there seems to be some ancient alter on top of it, Julian still can''t get a clear view of it because it''s still foggy as he is at the highest point in Sinnoh right now. Julian ''Is that the spear pir?'' ?? He asked himself and walked towards the top, after a minute walk Julian could fell the very little air pressure here, theck of air could make anyone lightweight but not Julian. He soon found himself in front of the weirdest ce he has ever seen, he saw a gigantic tform, it was filled with pirs everywhere, some of them are tall and some are short and some of them are just broken, the cracks could easily be seen on them, even after so much time has passed this alter has withstood it. Millions of years, from the very beginning of this, they said that this alter was present, it gives ess to the portal that connects this world to other dimension but Julian still has no idea how it works. He looks around the alter trying to find something, he can sense omniforce looming around the whole alter, the spear in the middle of this alter has a more concentrated amount of omniforce around it. He touched the spear but there is no reaction from it, he didn''t channel his Omniforce inside it because he doesn''t want to take the risk, something might happen that he may regret in the future, so he decided to stay safe and try to figure out what''s going on here. He could tell that the st of Omniforce he felt yesterday came from here but there is no sign of anything that could cause it, there are no fresh broken pirs, the broken ones already are old and have started to grow mold on them indicating how old they really are. He looked around the spear as he thought it might have something that is out of this world, he did find three holes on each side of the sphere and a line connecting them. It seems like they are meant to fit the three orbs in, Julian has an idea about what might happen if the three orbs go in. Julian ''If the three orbs go in, will it open the portal to the other dimension?'' He questioned himself. Seeing he couldn''t find anything else around here he got disappointed. Julian ''At the end of the day it''s just an old abandoned alter, even though it''s covered by omniforce it has nothing that is of use to me'' He thought and decided to leave where suddenly he heard some footsteps. Julian frowned and looked behind. Julian ''Who could it be, I thought no one will be able to enter here'' He thought and made his way behind the spear and stood there hiding from the person that entered the alter just now. Julian [Gengar go and take a look at our guest] Julian sent a telepathic message to Gengar, Gengar got out of his shadow and swam through the shadows and took a look at the intruder. Gengar shared his vision with Julian and he is also able to see who this person is. It''s none other than Cyrus, the leader of the team Gctic and he is holding something very precious and unique in his hands. Julian''s eyes went wide as he saw what he is holding. Julian ''Isn''t that one of the orbs?'' He questioned himself as he felt the pulsing Omniforce from the Orb, he took a careful look and found out it was the Griseous Orb. Julian frowned. Julian ''How did he get his hands on it?'' Julian wondered, he continued looking and saw Cyrus walked close to the Spear. The Orb in his hands started to glow and suddenly the omniforce around the area got violent and started to umte around the Orb, suddenly the fog around the ce started to gather up and showed an illustration of few men in ck robs doing some ritual here. Cyrus smiled seeing this. Cyrus "Hahahaha, those idiots really thought that they could open the portal with a fake Orb, even though they really did go all out to find the secrets of the Orbs, unlucky they cannot replicate the will of the gods, hahaha" He said andughed. Julian also watched this, he found out the reason why that st of Omniforce happened, it was due to these people in the ck robes who are trying to summon Giratina. Julian frowned, summoning Dialga and Palkia is for some extent ok, but Giratina is a different matter, if the legends are true it can distort the world andpletely ruin it. Unless Dialga and Palkiaes to the rescue, but the deed would have been done as the human and pokemon kind will get erased. Julian has to figure out who this group of people are and what is their real purpose. Cyrus "The Cult of Darkness are really useful, if I could get the method by which they were able to duplicate a celestial item, I would be one step closer to my goal" He said andughed again. Julian ''So these people are called the Cult Of Darkness'' Cyrus "Too bad for them, the thing they are searching for is in my hands and I won''t let them destroy my beautiful dream" Cyrusughed but this time hisugh is sinister and sadistic. Julian [Gengar knock him out] As Cyrus isughing sadistically, Gengar is alsoughing as he looks at his next prey. Gengar "Gegegege" As Cyrus hears thisughing, he suddenly feels a very frightening chilling run down his spine and before he could notice anything, he got knocked out by Gengar. Gengar giggled as he looked at Cyrus on the groundpletely knocked out, Julianes out of his hiding and walked towards the fallen Cyrus and lifts up the Griseous, he strokes the Orb with his hand and he could tell that this orb has more omniforce in it that what is in his body, this Orb has been absorbing Omniforce from millions of years so Julian didn''t find it weird, what he felt from this orb is pure cold, nasty and dark energy from it, just like Gengar''s. But there is also very dominant, righteous and impulsive energy inside it, this was of the dragon trait, just like his Flygon and his developing Gible. Julian ''I will keep this orb, make sure it goes to where it belongs and not in the hands of these idiots'' He said to himself and looked at Gengar, to his surprise Gengar is already ying with Cyrus in his dreams, he is showing Cyrus the worst nightmare he could ever have, Cyrus''s heartbeat is fast and he is sweating from fear in his dreams. Julian says nothing, from what he saw he knew Cyrus is a Psychopath, he doesn''t have emotions, the ones he disys are just an act. Julian "Gengar let him be and suffer, we need to get out of here, we got what we need" Julian said and walked away and Gengar followed behind and went into his shadow. As Julian left, Cyrus is suffering from a terrible nightmare. Chapter 284 - Reaching Hearthome City It took a day for Julian to get out of the mountain range, going through the maze was a lot easier for him because of all the markings he left behind. After getting off the mountain, he booked a room near the mountain and rested. ?? ___________________ Up in the mountain peak, Cyrus gets up while he screams from fear, he is sweating heavily and looks around to find himself near the Spear pir, he holds his head as he feels the sharp pain on it. He suddenly remembers something and looks around to find the Orb. But he cannot find it on him, he panics and looks around the whole alter but he has no luck. Now he is really frustrated. Cyrus "Who took my orb? who the fuck took my orb, get out here" He shouted. He had gone through so much to get that orb, now somebody took it before he could even do anything, that orb was the key for him to get up here, the orbs are the only thing that can guide someone up here. Cyrus "It must be that Cult Of Darkness men, I will rip their heads off when I am done with them" Cyrus cursed, he couldn''t believe his hard work has all gone to waste just because someone stole the most precious thing in his position. He stormed away angrily, but he still had a very hard time trying to get out of the Maze. ______________________ Next day Julian is back on the road and he is heading towards his next destination Hearthome city, he has already dyed his visit to the city so he decides to catch on. Since he has already taken away the Griseous Orb, he doesn''t have to worry about Team Gctic causing any trouble. Julian ''Now I have to take care of this weird cult and it will be all over once and for all, peace is what a man should always desire'' He though. Travelling was as usual, with lots of camping and training, his pokemons are slowly growing stronger, he is spending more time with Togepi to increase their rtionship and bond, Togepi will only evolve when it bes very close to its trainer and while it is very happy. Gible and Victini also are getting very close and with Gengar on their side, they start causing trouble for pokemons of the forest, only to be stopped by Infernape for causing to much trouble, they would then get lectured by Infernape then onward. Infernape has given up on telling Gengar to not cause trouble because no matter what he does Gengar won''t stray away from his path, Infernape is still in peace because Gengar''s partner in crime Electivire is not here or the havoc caused by them would be much higher. Infernape still holds the top position and the little pokemons would listen to him so there was not much trouble in the group. The training also went well for the little ones, Tyranitar would train the little ones in controlling their raw physical power and their physical defense as well, Absol thought them how to control their special powers and how to utilize their powers for special defense. Sometime Gengar and Infernape would be in charge as they are the most efficient in both fields, and when ites to Snox he just likes to sleep and sometimes he wakes up and lets the little one y on his belly, eats and goes back to sleep again. Snox just needs to sleep and the next time he gets up he is more powerful than before, only by a little margin but still only a little at his level is still scary. Same could be said for Infernape and Gengar, Infernape is learning how to adapt to the Omniforce which he started to control little by little when he and Julian performed the Synchronize. Gengar is also mastering the control over his own dimension and finding his one powers which arepletely different from others. Same could be said for all of Julian''s first pokemon, they have already started to find their own special powers that might just help them break the limit. Tyranitar and Absol still have a long way to go before they evene close to Gengar and Infernape. The little ones didn''t care much as they are still more interested in fooling around them reaching the top. Julian''s life is also going as he thought it would, spending time with his pokemons and traveling around the world, that is what he wanted and that is what he is getting. Traveling through the forest to find pokemons was the hardest for him, he couldn''t find the right one, and when he did, they would run away. Finding the right pokemons in Sinnoh is harder than he thought. Since he is already near Hearthome city, he decided to visit the city and defeat the gym then go on a search for his next pokemon. Julian ''Hearthome city, here Ie'' He looks at the massive city in front of him from a cliff very far away. He hits the elerator and drives off. Chapter 285 - Chase Down Julian arrives in front of Hearthome city, just like he expected its a massive city with lots of pokemons and people living here, this city is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Sinnoh because of its Super contest hall, even though it''s not an official contest the performance held here is always first ss, many people seem to enjoy it, there is a contest held here every week here and there never seems to be a decline in the audience, people from the city and travelerse here daily. There are other attractions here as well. ?? He put on his cloth mask and entered the city, he heard people talking about an official contest is being held here in two days. Julian was surprised by this, the super contest hall was a tourist attraction so an official contest being held here was a surprise to him. He then decided to go and check on the gym present here, when he reached the gym he noticed that it is closed, he saw a middle-aged man who seems to be the caretaker of this gym. Julian "Where is the Gym leader?" Man "Oh, the gym is closed for a few days, miss Fantina is out training and trying to find a unique battle style for herself" Julian "I see, do you perhaps know when she will be back?" Man "I don''t know, it might take her 3-4 days I guess, its already been a week since she left" Julian "I understand" Julian says and walked away. He didn''t know where this gym leader has gone so he has to wait before he could challenge her and win his third badge. Since there is no gym to challenge right now, he decided to enjoy looking around the city and see what is special about this city. He first gets a room in a hotel, his identity has to be revealed to get a room so he had to show his face while giving his ID card, he asked the people in the hotel to be quiet about his visit, he doesn''t know if they will do as he said or not, but it will surely reduce down the spread of rumors. He then got out of the hotel on legs and decided to take a look around the city slowly, as he knows he will stay in this city for quite a while. The city was very big so he cannot cover it on legs within just one day but he didn''t mind, he let out Infernape because it was his turn toe out of his Pokeball, Julian doesn''t always keep them in their Pokeball, since he cannot bring them all out at once, he brings them out of their Pokeball one after the other for few days. The only ones that don''t need a Pokeball are Gengar and Crystal, Crystal is very small and will fit in his pocket and it seems to like staying there and Gengar spends most of his time in Julian''s shadow or will be in its own dimension. Infernape looked around and saw they are in a new city now, he follows Julian as they walk around and look around the city. After looking around for an hour Julian sits down on a desk with Infernape, he has bought something to eat and gives a little to Crystal who pops its head out to grab a bite of whatever Julian has bought. Infernape also gets one as he eats it happily, Julian smiles seeing this, Infernape always looks like a responsible big brother for all of Julian''s pokemon but at the end of the day, he is still young. Crystal also happily nimble on the big piece of sweet bread that Julian gave it to eat. While it''s bust eating, it didn''t notice a pair of eyes hidden inside the bush on the side of the road are glued on its sweet bread, suddenly a shadow blur is seen and it takes away Crystal''s sweet bread away. Crystal seems surprised by the sudden disappearance of its sweet bread, it then looks at the directing it saw the blur going and saw a small pokemon with blue and ck fur with Crystal''s sweet bread in its mouth. Crystal gets angry seeing this pokemon stole its food and chased after it. Julian is also surprised by this, he didn''t notice the Shinx at all as he was busy looking around the ce, and there are lots of pokemon here so he had no clue when it came and took away Crystal''s sweet beard. Julian "Crystal wait" Julian said and went behind Crystal and followed by Infernape. The Shinx ran and ran until it reached near a manhole, it turned around and looked at Crystal and teased it and went into the manhole. Crystal got angry and chased after the Shinx into the manhole. Julian sighed seeing this. Julian "Looks like we have to go in as well" Infernape also sighs and nodded. Julian and Infernape then entered the manhole behind Crystal and Shinx. Julian saw Crystal chase after Shinx and using Thunder Shock on Shinx but Shinx seems to be very familiar with the terrain so it dodged all of Crystal''s attack and kept running. Julian "Infernape you are up, no, wait let Crystal handle this, it still needs some training" Julian thought of getting this done by Infernape interfering but he stopped there as he wants Crystal to solve this on its own. Julian "Let''s just follow them and watch what Crystal does" Infernape nodded and burned a little brighter to light up this abandoned underground tunnel. Chapter 286 - A Sad End And A New Beginning. Julian and Infernape soon found themselves in front of a big area, this seems to be where all the tunnels connect. Julian and Infernape noticed that there are some pokemons hiding here, this area seems to be a pokemonyer. ?? Julian didn''t think anything of it because there are many areas like this in the city were pokemon group up to live together, it''s just like a pokemonmunity. Julian sees Crystal has cornered Shinx into a corner, the Crystal sent out Venoshock towards Shinx, suddenly a mud shot came out of nowhere and Crystal got hit by it, sending it flying backward, Julian looked at the direction where the move came from and saw a Wooper. Taking this chance Shinx made an escape and took a new route and ran away. Crystal got angrier and rubbed off the mud from its face, the crystal on its forehead suddenly absorbed the rest of the mud into it and Crystal chased after Shinx once again. Julian and Infernape followed the once again. After Crystal chasing down the Shinx for quite a while, they finally came to a stop, Julian looked around and noticed that this area is right under the electric tower here in Hearthome city. Crystal demanded Shinx to give back its sweet bread, but when Shinx turned around the bread was already gone, it had eaten it while it was on the run. Crystal got frustrated and shot a Mud Bomb at Shinx, Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t expect Crystal to learn a new move. Shinx dodged the attack and ran towards Crystal using Charge, Shinx mmed into Crystal as its body was covered in electricity, Crystal got sent back but to Shinx surprise, Crystal didn''t take any damage. Crystal has changed its typing to Ground so Electric-type moves have no effect on it. Crystal then sent another Mud Bomb at Shinx and this time it hit Shinx and sent it flying backward as it crashed into a wall, it gritted its teeth and got up but Crystal used Venoshock and brought the Shinx to the ground once again. Shinx let out a faint growl and stared at Crystal. Suddenly a shadow dashed towards Crystal while using thunder fang but before the shadow could reach Crystal, Infernape suddenly appeared between Crystal and the Shadow and sent a roundhouse kick towards it and sent the shadow crashing on the ground. The Shadow seems to be an old Luxray, Julian looks at it and realizes that this Luxray is at the end of its life and will die soon. The Shinx looked worried at the old Luxray and approached it, Infernape didn''t even use little of his power in that move, so Julian had nothing to worry. Julian "Crystale here, I will give you another sweet bread" Crystal seems sad but nodded and went back to Julian''s pocket, Shinx noticed Julian now, it didn''t see Julian before, now seeing a human here it stood in front of the old Luxray and showed its fangs at Julian. It seems to be trying to defend the old Luxray, Julian smiled and approached it, Shinx got agitated and covered its body with electricity and warned Julian to back off. Crystal also got angry seeing Shinx act like this towards Julian and mewed angrily at Shinx. Julian "Crystal calm down I got this" Julian said and patted Crystal. He then approached Shinx, Shinx backed away little as it saw Julian get closer and closer to it, as it sees Julian''s hand heading towards it, it gets scared and closes its eyes and increase the electricity around its body. But the next thing it notices is a warm feeling on top of its head, it opens its eyes and sees Julian smiling and petting it, it is surprising that this human is not getting shocked by its electricity at all. Soon the Shinx calms down and looks at the old Luxray, it then approaches towards its mouth and takes out a piece of sweet bread that it hid between its neck and chin. Seeing the sweet bread Crystal gets surprised, it thought that its sweet bread was all eaten but this Shinx had hidden some of it between its chin and neck. Shinx took the sweet bread and ced it near the Luxray but the Luxray didn''t eat it, it just looked at the Shinx and said something. Julian went forward and checked the condition of Luxray, the Shinx just watched but is still concerned about the Luxray. After a while Julian shakes his head and he knows that this Luxray cannot be saved, it has reached the limit of its life and it will die. Seeing the disappointed look in Julian''s face, Shinx got sad and lowered its head, it is sad. Seeing this Crystal pities Shinx and go and sits on top of its head and pets it to calm it down. Luxray takes itsst breath and closes its eye, thatst Thunder Fang it used drained itsst bit of energy, now it has left the world. Julian sighed, Shinx seems to be crying but it doesn''t lift its head and shows it. Julian carries the dead Luxray in his hands and looks at Shinx. Julian "Let''s go bury him, he should not be left here" He said and started to walk away, Infernape put Crystal on his shoulder and asked Shinx to follow as well. Soon they got out of the underground tunnel, some people saw the dead Luxray in Julian''s hand, it saddened them as well. Soon Julian brought the dead Luxray to the cemetery that is present in Amity Square, it''s an area where the ancient statue and temples of Dialga and Palkia. Julian enters the cemetery and asked a worker to help them, the worker looks at the dead Luxray and nods. They dig up a grave and ce the dead Luxray inside and then cover it up. Julian prays for a while and turns around to look at the Shinx. Julian "Don''t worry his soul will be in peace if you live a healthy life as well" Shinx didn''t say anything when it saw Julian leaving it looked back at the grave, then at Julian. It then ran towards Julian at bit his pants and stopped him. Julian is surprised by this and turns around and sees Shinx looking at him. Julian "What do you want?" Shinx then rubs its head on his leg. Julian "You want toe with us?" Shinx nods its head. Julian smiles, Shinx could be a good addition to his team and he has not trained an electric type pokemon after Electivire so he doesn''t mind having Shinx in his team. He bends down and pats Shinx. "We meet again" Suddenly Julian hears a familiar voice and he turns around while lifting Shinx in his hand. Chapter 287 - Cynthia Vs Paul (1) "We meet again" Julian hears this voice and turns around to see Cynthia once again. ?? Julian "Yes we meet again" Julian says. Cynthia smiles and looks at Infernape who is beside Julian, she is surprised to see the mes on top of Infernape''s head, it''s blue instead of red and orange like other Infernape she has seen. Cynthia "Is that your partner" She asked as she checked out Infernape, she was impressed by how well-groomed and healthy this Infernape is. Julian "Yes, Infernape is my very first pokemon, he has been with me since day one" Julian said and patted Infernape''s head. Cynthia smiled and looked at the Shinx in his hand. Shinx showed his fangs at Cynthia and warned her to back off seeing her trying to approach him. Cynthia "He is a feisty one isn''t he" Cynthia smiled and somehow managed to calm down Shinx and patted his head. Cynthia "Why are you here?" She asked. Julian "This little guys fried has passed away, we came here to bury him" Cynthia "Oh, It''s sad, losing a friend is always hard" She said and looked at Shinx with pity. Julian "Well, let''s pray that its soul will be in peace" Julian said. Julian "Aren''t you afraid of getting caught in public, you know how fans can get" Julian asked. Cynthia "Oh, Ipletely forgot, I came here to look around Amity square, there are many ancient scriptures here which tells the history about the creation trio and many other legendary pokemons" Julian "I see" Cynthia "You shoulde with me, I could use some extra eyes to notice something I cant" Julian "Well I was going there so I will join you" He said and followed Cynthia as they walk out of the cemetery and walked towards the main area of the Amity Square, this is the area where all the ancient sculptures are present. Julian looked around and noticed that these ancient sculptures are very different from the others he has seen, weird sculptures and fascinating old stories. Julian and Cynthia are busy looking through these scriptures and sculptures that he didn''t notice a few people started to stand around them. It was mostly because of Cynthia, she also ispletely immersed in her findings that she didn''t notice her fans have already found out about here and soon many areing here and standing around them. Soon they arrived in front of a stone henge, this henge seems to have been built by the people of ancient times to look at the stars and constetions in the sky. Soon the rumor about Cynthia being here in Amity Square was spread all across the city, many didn''t believe it but few of them still came and were surprised seeing her, they didn''t disturb here because they saw here busy doing something. Julian also found some interesting theories about many mythical and legendary pokemons here, Sinnoh being the oldest region really had many historical facts and fiction Julian had never heard of. It even stated about other legendary pokemons that originate from Kanto, Hoenn, Unova, and Kalos. As Julian was busy looking around he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw it was none other than Ash and his friends, they seem to have just arrived here after hearing the rumors of Cynthia. Suddenly another familiar face showed up, it is Paul. Ash greeted Paul but got himself ignored, Paul then walked towards Cynthia who is still looking at the scriptures. Paul "So you are the Champion Cynthia, I want to challenge you to a full 6 on 6 battle" Paul challenged Cynthia in a full 6 on 6 pokemon battle, the people around were shocked hearing Paul, some of them thought he is stupid while some though he is quite brave. Julian just watched. Cynthia turned around and looked at Paul. Cynthia "Are you sure?" Paul "Yes" Cynthia "Ok then, I will ept your challenge" People were surprised by this decision from Cynthia but they are still excited to see the Champion in action, Cynthia is said to be one of the strongest champions, iming to be even stronger than Lance. Since it was a 6 on 6 battle people started to anticipate what pokemons Cynthia will use. Paul decided to start the battle by sending his first pokemon out, he sent his Chimchar. Cynthia nodded and tossed her Pokeball up in the air and sent out her Garchomp. Seeing Cynthia''s ace pokemon people got excited. Paul seems to have no reaction and made his first move. Paul "Chimchar use Fire Spin" Chimchar sent out a Fire Spin towards Garchomp but it didn''t even move from the spot and just stood there, the Fire Spin surrounded Garchomp but it doesn''t seem to be effected at all. Seeing no damage taken by Garchomp Paul made his next move. Paul "Use Dig" Chimchar dug into the ground after hearing Paul''smand. Cynthia "Garchomp use Dig as well" Garchomp used Dig while its body is still covered in mes. Paul gritted his teeth seeing this. The next moment Garchomp came out of the ground with Chimchar and sent it flying backward, it crashed on the ground and fainted. Like this one of Paul''s pokemon was down. Infernape also watched this, he looked at the little Chimchar and sighed, he understood how far the little one has to go before evening close to his juniors. Paul "Useless" He said. Suddenly he felt an unimaginable pressure go down on him, Paul started to sweat and looked around to see an Infernape staring coldly at him, even Cynthia and her Garchomp felt this powerful pressure. Cynthia ''Such power'' She thought. Julian put his hand on top of Infernape and made him calm down. Julian "He is just a kid, he still has a lot to learn, you should mind them" Infernape nodded and closed his eyes and ignored Paul. Paul didn''t understand what happened, but for a second he felt fear like none he has ever felt. Paul ''Who is that man?'' He questioned himself. Cynthia "Are we going to continue our small battle?" She asked as she looked at the tense Paul. He snaps out of it and nods. Chapter 288 - Cynthia Vs Paul (2) Paul got his mind back to the battle and sent out his next pokemon, he sent out his Weavile as his second pokemon. Weavile being a Dark, Ice-type should have an advantage over a Dragon-type but does type even matter when faces with pure raw power that Garchomp holds. ?? Paul "Weavile use Icy Wind" Weavile send out cold powerful wind towards Garchomp but it just stood there and blocked its eyes from getting hit by the wind, it wasn''t even fazed by that attack. Cynthia "Now Dragon Rush" Garchomp charged towards Weavile as blue energy covered its body and it charged like a missile. Paul "Use Ice Beam to deflect it" But to his surprise, his Weavile didn''t even make a move as it was frozen on the stop by Garchomp''s pressure. It just stood there like a practice target and got blown away and hit the ground fainted. Seeing his second pokemon taken down so easily he gritted his teeth again. Paul "Can''t even listen to mymand in battles, you are useless as well" He says and calls Weavile back to its Pokeball. This time even Cynthia frowns seeing how Paul treats his pokemon, Julian who is watching this also sighs. Julian ''He doesn''t hate his pokemons, he just doesn''t know how to treat them properly, some of his pokemons might get used to this but some may leave him, well it will stille down to him and his pokemon at the end, I have nothing to do with other people''s matter'' Paul takes out his third Pokeball and tossed it in the air to reveal his third pokemon, a Murkrow. Paul "Murkrow use Wing Attack" Murkrow charges toward Garchomp and uses Wing Attack. Garchomp once again just stands there and deflects the Wing Attack with its de-like fins. Paul "Use Brave Bird" Cynthia "Giga Impact" Both Pokemon uses their move and shes in mid-air, Murkrow just gets dominated as it''s Brave Bird shatters and it is sent flying and gets knocked out. Paul doesn''t waste any time and calls back his Murkrow and sends out his next Pokemon, Torterra. Seeing the Torterra Julian is impressed by how healthy it is, it should at least be at the level equal to a gym leader''s ace pokemon. Paul "Use Mega Drain" Torterra roars and sends out glowing veins and wraps Garchomp and starts to suck up energy from Garchomp, Garchomp grits its teeth and stares at Torterra. After a few seconds of being held in the Mega Drain, Garchomp went to its knee. Seeing the chance Paul made his next move. Paul "Now Frenzy nt" Torterra ms its front legs on the ground and suddenly huge rootse digging out of the ground and charge towards Garchomp, everyone thought that Garchomp would get hurt but to their surprise, Garchomp just blocked all the root ends with just its de-like fins. Everyone are shocked seeing this, Garchomp gets back to its feet and destroys the Roots. Cynthia "Brick Break" Garchomp takes the sky and its des glow bright, ites down and ms down on Torterra''s head with a powerful Brick Break, with this move the Torterra flips and falls back, fainted. Paul saw his strongest pokemon go down in just one move so he decided to give up. Paul "Its no point of continuing this battle, I forfeit" He says and sends his Torterra back to its Pokeball. Ash then rushed towards Paul. Ash "You should take your pokemon to the pokemon center to heal them up" Paul "Its none of your concern" He says and walked past Ash, Ash seems to be very frustrated seeing how Paul treats him. Cynthia watches this and tells Paul to go to the pokemon center as well, seeing Cynthia also advising him, Paul says nothing and walks towards the direction of the pokemon center. Cynthia walks back to Julian while Ash and his friends follow Paul. Julian "You know you could have finished it faster" Cynthia "I could, but I didn''t want to destroy his confidence" Julian "You shouldn''t worry about that, from what I saw he is full of himself, a hard blow will bring him back to the track and stop him from thinking about always winning and battling" Cynthia "What you said is true" Julian "You should go and check on him, I also have to leave I have other things to do, I will be leaving as well" Julian says and walks away as well with Infernape and Shinx. Cynthia "Wait -" Before she could finish saying anything Julian has already left. Cynthia "Well next time then" __________________ Julian walked back to his hotel and on his way, he saw something that caught his attention. A huge poster on the billboard, he looks at it and smiles. Julian "Interesting, a Pokemon Tag battlepetition, I haven''t seen something like this before, it seems to be held every 6 months" Julian looked around the poster and noticed the price money, it is a trophy and 50000 Pokedors which will be divided into two so that both trainers who win the tournament will get an equal share. "Excuse me" Suddenly Julian hears a voiceing from behind. He turns around to see a short middle-aged man wearing sses and a cigar in his mouth. Middle-aged Man "You are Mr. Julian right?" Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t expect anyone to recognize him when he was wearing his mask. Julian "How did you recognize me?" Middle-aged Mana "Haha, I was right, I and my daughter are your biggest fan, we have watched all of your battles, we can recognize you by just looking at your back" The man says andughed. Julian ''That''s scary'' Maddy "My name is Maddy, I am the organizer of this tag battle tournament" Julian "Oh Mister Maddy nice to meet you" Julian says and shakes his hand. Maddy "Mr. Julian I want to invite you for dinner if you don''t mind, my daughter will be very happy to see you if you don''t mind" Julian thinks about it for a few seconds. Julian ''Well it''s just a dinner, and having a friendly rtionship with a rich man mighte in handy, he seems to be influenced as well'' Julian "Ok, I will join you for dinner" Julian said and smiled. Maddy "Haha, my daughter will be very happy, thank you for excepting this request". Chapter 289 - Red Stone Julian went with Maddy as he was invited for the dinner, he decided to go because having a friendly rtionship with a rich man can help in many ways and since Maddy seems to hold a lot of power, enough to organize a whole pokemon tournament. Soon Julian and Maddy arrived in front of a huge mansion, seeing the mansion Julian is not surprised at all, he came here is a luxury car so seeing a huge mansion was not something new, and as of now he is quite grown to expensive stuff as he constantly hangs out with rich and influential people. ?? They got out of the car and walked into the mansion where they got weed by the maids and butlers of the mansion. Maddy "Wee to my residence Mr. Julian, pleasee in and have a seat, I will go and talk to my family and tell them about your visit" Maddy said and showed Julian the guest room and walked away to meet his family. Julian spent some time to look around and saw many things that caught his attention, many pokemon collectibles items here. Julian "He must be a really into collecting stuff" He said and walked around the room and saw something that made him intrigued. He saw a red stone inside a ss tube, what is more, interesting is that this stone seems to be the same as the ones he got in Hoenn from that old man. Those ck stones had Mega Stones in them and this Red Stone also seems to have one, Julian thought he would never be able to find these stones but who knew his luck won''t give up on him. He could tell this red stone has a Mega Stone inside, but he cannot just take it away. He decides to wait and sit down until Maddyes by. He didn''t have to wait long since Maddy came by and with him came a middle-aged woman and a young girl who seems to be about 10 years old. Seeing Julian the young girl got excited and rushed towards him and hugged him. Julian froze as he didn''t know what to do. Maddy "Maya, you are making Mr. Julian ufortable" Maddy came to the rescue and separated his daughter from Julian. Maddy "Sorry for that Mr. Julian she is just too excited to meet you" He said and started to introduce his family. Maddy "This is my wife Sernie and this is my daughter, Amanda" Julian "Nice to meet the both of you" Amanda "Nice to meet you too Mr. Julian, I am your biggest fan" Julian "Thankyou Amanda" Julian sat down with them and talked to them, he had dinner then decided to discuss something with Maddy in private. Maddy "Mr. Julian I have a request for you?" Julian "What is it?" Maddy "I want you to be the special guest judge for the tag battlepetition" Julian "Hmm I can do that, but I want something in return" Maddy "Whatever you ask Mr. Julian, I will help you" Julian "That red stone you have, that is disyed on that shelf" He said and pointed at the red stone. Maddy "Oh that, I have a hobby to collect rare stones and items, you won''t believe how I found that stone" Julian "I am all ears" Maddy "I love to travel and find rare items, one day during my travel I came across a cave, that cave was very strange, I decided to go in and try to find something inside, as I went in I felt very lite, soon came across a room filled with these kinds of red glowing stones, I didn''t know how I got there, I think I was just lucky, I took one of the stone as a souvenir and brought it back with me" Julian "Where was this cave you mentioned?" Maddy "It is in Stark Mountains" Julian ''Stark Mountains, it''s one of those areas that have not been discovered fully, there are many rouges wild pokemons, that attack anyone who crosses their territory'' He thought and looked at Maddy. Julian "Can you give me that Red Stone?" Julian is straightforward with Maddy and asked him for the red stone. Maddy "This" Maddy thought for a while. Maddy "Ok I will give you the Red stone as a gift for our friendship but you have to be the special guest in the Tag battlepetition that will be held in two days" Julian "Deal" Julian agreed to it, he cannot let go of this chance to get his hands on another rare Mega Stone that is inside that red stone. Maddy walks towards the shelf where the stone is kept, he takes out a key and unlocks the ss panel and takes out the red stone and dust it of a little and gets back to Julian. Maddy "Here as you wished, now it''s your turn to fulfill my request" Julian "Don''t worry I will be there" Maddy "Great, by the way, I can advertise about this right, we can bring in lots of viewers with your name" Julian "Sure as you wish" Julian said and they went back in, Julian had onest talk with the family and walked away. Its already night and the streets of the busy Hearthome city has gone quiet, only Julian and Infernape area awake. Julian "Its been a long time since we both are all alone, huh buddy?" Infernape nods his head and smiles. Julian "Well a new day waits for us, so let''s go" And so they call it a day. Chapter 290 - Staring To Evolve In his hotel room, Julian wakes up and looks around to see Infernape sleeping at the corner and Gengar trying to pull something off, he has a marker in his hand and is trying to slowly get close to Infernape. Julian smirks seeing this. ?? As Gengar was about to draw on Infernape''s face, his eyes opened and he punched Gengar away. Gengar went past through the wall, he came back andughed, Infernape just ignored him. Crystal seems to have woken up and is alsoughing seeing this. Julian got out of his bed and gave Crystal its bottle of MooMoo milk as it sat down on his shoulder and drank while he gets ready. While Julian is busy getting ready, Maddy has already started to advertise about Julian being the special guest for the Tag battlepetition. People who are in the city are surprised by this sudden announcement, they couldn''t believe that Julian, the strongest known champion is here in Sinnoh. Many people wanted to see Julian after hearing this news. ________________ Cynthia who is in her hotel room is watching TV when she suddenly turned on the news channel and she saw something that caught her attention. News Anchor "We have confirmed the news that Julian, the previous Champion of Kanto is really in Sinnoh and will be the special guest in the tag battlepetition being held in Hearthome city, people in the city are very excited to meet their favorite champion and already the tickets have been sold out" Hearing the news Cynthia is surprised, she didn''t expect the Julian to be here in Sinnoh when suddenly she realized something. Cynthia "Wait for a minute" She said and started to think of the things that happened to here in a few days, then she thought about the masked man she met twice. Cynthia ''Isn''t Julian''s main pokemon an Infernape?'' Se thought and remembered about the event when she was battling Paul, the pressure from that man''s Infernape even froze her Garchomp. Cynthia looked at the image of Julian on the TV and went back into her memory and fished out the man''s outer image, and they fit exactly. Cynthia "So it was him all along" She said and covered her face in embarrassment. She always wanted to have a battle with Julian, people say he is the strongest as he has defeated Lance, ever since that day she wanted to have a battle with him, she had also battled Lance once and had defeated him, but that was a long time ago. She had thought that she would be able to meet him someday and put on her champion face in front of him and ask for a battle, but shepletely blew it, she acted like a normal person who is fascinated by ancient history andpletely blew off her champion act in front of him without even knowing. Cynthia "This isn''t fair, how can I be so stupid, I could have also worn a mask when talking to strangers" She said and sighed. Cynthia "Well, what''s done is done, next time I meet him I will confront him and ask why he didn''t reveal his identity, god this is so embarrassing" She is still embarrassed by how nerdy she acted in front of him during their time in the ancient temple in Eterna city. _____________________ Julian still hasn''t seen what is going outside, he spent his time preparing food for his pokemons as he is out of stock. After doing so he has to feed them, once they are done eating, he decided to take them out and let them exercise and train. Once he walked out of his hotel with his face mask on, he realized something was off, the people in the city seems a lot crowded than before, he walked a little further and saw a huge poster advertising about the Tag battlepetition, but he also saw his image on the poster, stating that he is the special guest for thepetition. Seeing this Julian realized why there are so many people present here, they all are here to watch the tag battlepetition where he will be the special guest. He ignores the crowd and heads outside the city to hang around the forest and train his pokemons, he soon arrives outside the city, now he is inside a very small forest outside the city. Not many pokemon live here but the ones that are are very social, being very close to the human city has exposed them to a lot of humans so they aren''t afraid of humans. When Julian walked into the forest he saw many pokemon peeking out of their homes and staring at him, some are even bold enough toe in front of him and ask for something to eat. Julian soon found a perfect ce to set up a camp and so he did, he brought out his pokemons and let them y around for a while. Shinx has already adapted and got along with his new friends, while Togepi seems to be attached to Julian. Today is just like another day, as Crystal and Togepi drink directly from the milk bottle. Seeing how cute these two are together Julian smiles and pats them with affection. Julian ''Aren''t you two very cute'' Togepi and Crystal seem to be very happy with this, then suddenly Togepi starts to glow all of a sudden. Julian is surprised by this. Julian "She is evolving" Togepi starts to evolve. Chapter 291 - Victinis Toy Julian knew that Togepi will soon evolve as his bond with it has risen quite high, he was expecting Togepi''s evolution and the time ase. He has been teaching Togepi how to control and channel her power but never let her execute it. ?? Soon Togepi started to grow, soon her head started to expand and grew a neck, then two tiny wings started to grow behind her back, her legs and hand also got bigger. As the light stopped glowing and Togepi has evolved into Togetic. His other pokemons are surprised ande around Togetic and looked at her in surprise. Julian''s new pokemons have are still in their first form so seeing their friend evolve is really new to them. Togetic can now float making Gible, Shinx, and Cranidos the only one who cannot float in the group. Now that Togepi has evolved into Togetic, Julian can start training her, he didn''t waste time and started to train his pokemons, as it is the reason he is here. After training, he goes back to the city to find more people in the streets. Thank god he has a mask that hides his face from the public when he doesn''t want their attention. He walked into his room and sat down and looked at the table, he remembered that he has to break down the red stone to extract the mega stone inside it. He sits in front of the table and takes out the red stone with his tools and starts to chip off the red stone slowly. After a while, the stone separates into two and reveals a bright red mega stone inside with blue pattern. Seeing the Mega Stone inside Julian got excited and took it out, he tried to feel the aura and it seemed very familiar to the dark Mega Stones he found in Hoenn. Julian "The aura inside is as concentrated as Absol''s Mega Stone" As Julian looked at the Mega Stone, Crystal popped its head out and looked at the red Mega Stone with its eyes big wide opened. It floated out of Julian''s pocket and sat down on the table and looked at the Mega Stone, it then touched the Mega Stone with its tiny finger and retrieved it back, seeing no reaction from this ball of energy it could sense, it tried again and again until it got bored. Crystal then yawned and went back to Julian''s pocket and went to sleep again. Julian just smiled and brought out Victini, as he could feel some simrity between Victini and the Mega Stone. Victini came out and looked around and finally saw the Mega Stone on Julian''s hand, it got excited seeing such a pure fire element stone. It went near the Mega Stone and felt a connection with it, feeling this Victini picked up the Mega Stone and put it in its mouth to eat it. Julian "Victini, no" Julian interfered and pulled out the Mega Stone from Victini''s mouth. Heughed as he pulled out the Mega Stone from its mouth, Victini got angry because Julian took away the Mega Stone from its mouth. Julian "It is not something you can eat Victini" Julian said and wiped the Mega Stone from a cloth and pulled out a small locket with a Mega Stone holder attached to it. He puts the Mega Stone in it and ties it on Victini''s neck, Victini bes happy as it holds on to its new toy dearly. Julian ''Let''s see if Victini can Mega Evolve'' He thought and shes his Keystone, suddenly the Mega Stone on Victini''s neck also starts to glow but it soon fades away, Victini seems to be tired from that. Julian ''Looks like Victini is still too weak to Mega Evolve'' Julian "Here drink this" Julian pats Victini and gives it a bottle of MooMoo milk so that Victini can re-energize, smelling the MooMoo milk Crystal opens its eyes andes out and looks at Julian with puppy doll eyes. Seeing those eyes Julian cannot resist so he gives a bottle to Crystal too. Victini and Crystal happily drink up their MooMoo milk, since these two are having their share, Julian releases his other tiny pokemon as well and gives them their share. Julian ''Let''s just hope they don''t get spoiled'' He thinks and sighs. _______________________ Two days passed by in an instant and today is the day when the tag battlepetition is being held. Julian had to get to the stadium before the crowd to gather there. And so he did, he got on his bike with Crystal in his pocket and rode off. When he reached the venue, he walked to the backdoor and showed his face to the security standing there, the security guard moved to the side and let him walk in. He soon found the room he is assigned to, he didn''t have to wait long before Maddy walked in. Maddy "Mr. Julian thank you foring today, I am very excited about today, due to the profit we made, we even raised up the winning price to 80000 Pokedors" Maddy said andughed, he has profited a lot from this deal with Julian. Julian "Good to know, so when will thepetition begin?" Maddy "In an hour, you should have more than enough time to get ready" Julian "Ok" Maddy "Fine, I will be going, I need to be backstage and see how things are going" Maddy said and walked away. Now Julian has to get ready to join the arena, where he will sit next to a judge and an announcer. Chapter 292 - Tag Battle Competition Thepetition will start in a few minutes and Julian is soon escorted to the room where he will be during thepetition. When he enters he sees a man in a ck suit and tie and a middle-aged man in a red suit, from the looks of it the man in a ck suit is the announcer and the one in the red suit must be the judge. ?? Judges in the pokemon battlepetitions are not rare but they don''t show themselves, a judge has a special camera view of the whole battlefield and his job is to check if someone is cheating or not. The referee who is in the stadium cannot notice the subtle details but the judge and can as he will be sitting in front of a TV screen which is connected to a special camera that monitors everything in the battlefield. Julian is a special guest Judge today as he will be helping this man in a red suit look after the battlefield. "Wee Mr. Julian, my name is Stefen, I am the judge for thispetition" The man in the red suit is indeed the Judge just as Julian expected and his name is Stefen. Julian "Nice to meet you too Mr. Stefen" He says and shakes his hand. The announcer for thispetition also introduces himself to Julian and he does the same and takes his seat, from his viewpoint Julian could see the whole stadium. And the same could be said for the audience who are already seated, many of them noticed Julian has already arrived and is now looking down on them. They start to cheer for him and the whole stadium which is still not full gets covered with chants of Julian''s name. Julian smiled and waved at them. More audience gathered and thepetition was about to start, people are getting excited as the clock gets closer. It starts with a bang and the announcer starts to give his speech. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen wee to Hearthome city''s tag battlepetition, the winners of thispetition will be given 80000 Pokedors" The trainers who are participating in this tournament got excited after hearing the price money they can get, traveling is expensive if you don''t know how to use the resources of nature so trainers would love to get their hands on the money. Announcer "I am joined by our two judges for thispetition, first is Mr. Stefen, he is a professional Judge and has judged for 10 years in every pokemon league, and our special guest is the one and only Mr. Julian the previous champion of Kanto and the undefeated trainer" The announcer introduced Julian and the crowd cheered for him. Announcer "Now let''s begin without any dy, a trainer''s partner has already been randomly chosen by aputer. thepetition will be a knockout if one team loses they will be eliminated, now let''s see who will be our first participants, but before that, Mr. Julian do you have anything to say for ourpetitors?" Julian "Yes, just battle with confidence and never underestimate your opponent, they might just pull off something out of nowhere you didn''t seeing" Announcer "Thankyou Mr. Julian now, let''s see who will be in our first match" The announcer said and looked at the huge screen inside the stadium, there are 32 teams and the first battle seems to be between Dawn and her partner named Conway against a pair of young trainers who have a Scyther and a Koffing. Julian watched in interest as he has never seen a tag battle or participated in it. Soon the results came up as Dawn and Conway defeated their opponent, Conway used his Slowking as a defense and let Dawn do all the offense with her Piplup. Julian could see the ws in their teamwork but for twopletely strangers battling together for the first time they were pretty good and this impressed Julian. The next battle is between two teams of random trainers, soon one team defeated the other and went towards the top 16. Next match is between the team of Brock and a woman named Holly against two random trainers who are using Yanma and Bagon. Their opponents are too busy arguing amongst themselves that they lost easily to Brock and Holly with their Sudowoodo and Wingull. The next battle came as a surprise to Julian as well because Ash has been teamed up with Paul as they face off against random trainers. Julian wanted to see how these two work together but as he expected they are still arguing with each other. Luckily their pokemon are very strongpared to their opponents and blow them off easily, but Paul seems to be very disappointed in his Chimchar as he couldn''t activate its ze ability during the battle. But they still advanced to the top 16. After a few more battles, the day ended and thepetition came to a stop. Announcer "That''s all for today, tomorrow will be the top 16 of the tag battlepetition. Mr. Julian, who do you think performed the best and worse who advance to the top 16?" Julian "From what I saw the team of Dawn and Conway were the best, they covered up each other''s weakness and were easily able to advance forward, as for the worst performance who advanced towards the top 16 is the team of Ash and Paul" Announcer "Ash and Paul? didn''t they won their battle very easily?" Julian "Indeed, because their pokemons were clearly stronger than their opponents, as for their teamwork that would receive a negative review from me, they had no coordination between them at all, if they continue this they might lose". Announcer "I see, it is indeed a fair point, as expected of Mr. Julian. And folks that is it, meet you all tomorrow" With this, thepetition came to a stop for the day and trainers returned back to their rooms. Chapter 293 - End Of The Competition Inside the waiting room of the stadium, Ash and his friends are with few other people like Holly and Conway. Conway "Ha, is still can''t believe I got praised by the Julia, Dawn we are the best team, we will surely win thispetition" ?? Dawn "Yes, if we continue this we will surely win thispetition, I am excited" Holly "Don''t be so sure, I and Brock won''t be easy to defeat" Brock''s partner Holly said with her high spirit Brock "Yes, what every my dear Holly says" He said as he went on his knee and hold her hand. Ash seems to be in apletely different mood, seeing this Brock put his hand on his shoulder. Brock "What happend Ash?" Ash "You heard what Julian said, we performed the worst from all the team in the top 16, I don''t know what should I do" Brock "I don''t think you should take it so heard to yourself, Julian said what he saw, and it is up to you to fix it and prove Julian wrong by performing better in the next round" Ash "Yes I guess, I have to perform better in the next round" _____________________ Julian got back to his room as he was exhausted just sitting on a chair and watching trainers battle, he has to do this for another two days but the Mega Stone he received is worth it and he also got the information about the mysterious cave where these stones could be found. Since he had nothing else to do he talked with Daisy and Chloe, he found out that they have already finished their first training session. Chloe will soon start to perform inmercials and Daisy will be working on the field under a senior''s supervisor. Seeing their progress Julian feels proud, even though he did get interrogated by them if he hung out with other girls, which he clearly denied as he didn''t hang out with any girls. The day soon came to an end and Julian call it a day. Next day was the same as he has to go early to the stadium and soon the crowd gathered up for the top 16, the trainers are excited to continue the tournament. The tournament started and trainers started to battle, Dawn and Conway went first and won them self a ce in the top 8, Brock and Holly also made themselves a ce in the top 8. Surprisingly Ash seems to have Paul''s Chimchar in this team, their teamwork didn''t improve but they weren''t a disaster and won them self a ce in top 8 as well. After a break, the top 8 began soon and this time Brock and Holly got eliminated, Dawn and Conway once again won and their teamwork seems to be improving more and more, they are now most favorite to win thispetition, surprisingly even though Ash and Paul still didn''t get along their pokemon worked together and brought down their opponent. Other two-team of trainers also went to the top 4. Another day was over and the team of 4 entered the semifinals where Ash and Paul will be facing the team of two trainers. Dawn and Conway will be facing the team of other trainer. _________________________ The third and final day of the tag battlepetition. The first match was between Ash and Paul''s team against their opponents, after a tough battle they advance forward to the finals. Dawn and Conway also defeated their opponents and advanced to the finals. After a break, they are now facing against each other, the crowd is excited and so is Julian, he didn''t expect the finals will be between these two teams. One has an overpowered pokemon in their team for this tournament and the other team has perfect coordination and can easily counter any team. The battle soon started with a bang. Ash used his new addition to his team Chimchar and Paul used his Elekid. Julian is really impressed by how Paul train his pokemons, even though his attitude seems shitty, his way of training pokemon is really effective as they be really strongpared to the average species. Just like the Elekid and the Chimchar, he trained that is now with Ash. Dawn uses her Buizel and Conway uses his Heracross. The battle goes on and soon Dawn and Conway easily overpower their overpowered opponents with their teamwork. As Julian had expected Ash and Paul cannot win this unless they start to work together or a miracle happens. But to Julian''s surprise, a miracle did ur as Paul''s Elekid suddenly started to glow and evolve. His Elekid evolved into Electabuzz. Dawn and Conway didn''t expect this at all, Conway''s n went all haywire as he didn''t expect his opponent''s pokemon to evolve. Paul''s Electabuzz soon overpowered their opponent and easily took them down and won. The results are final as Ash and Paul won thepetition. Julian smiles seeing this. Julian "Well luck is an important factor in a trainer''s life, let''s just say Ash and Paul''s luck are on point today" Julian said and got up. The awarding ceremony is soon about to start and Julian has to hand it over to the winners. As Julian entered the battlefield, people started to cheer for him, he walked onto the tform and stood next to Maddy and Judge Stefen. Maddy "Mr. Julian, the wholepetition was a sess thanks to you" Julian "Well, thank you, you also worked a lot behind the scene as this is your event" The announcer soon started to talk and called Ash and Paul to the stage to take their price. Ash and Paul walked up to the stage, Paul''s eyes are on Julian, Julian sees him and smiles. Julian "Congrattions the two of you for winning thepetition, luck was really close on your side" Julian said and gave them their prize money check. Paul doesn''t seem to be pleased to what Julian said but he didn''t deny as he knew if his Elekid didn''t evolve they would have lost for sure. Paul "How did you be so strong?" He asked Julian straight forward. Julian "Training alongside my pokemons and a healthy diet for them, really does the work" That''s all he said, as for earning the trust of his own pokemon Paul has to figure it out himself. Chapter 294 - Julian Vs Fantina The ceremony soon ended and Julian headed home, like every other day he has nothing to do now, so he decided to go and see if the gym leader of the city hase back from her little training exploration. He got out of the hotel room and headed towards the gym and he got lucky because it seems like the leader hase back to the gym. ?? But he wanted to do onest training session with his pokemon before he challenges the gym since its a Ghost-type gym Julian decides to use Manaphy and Crystal for this time because they need some battle experience. He walks away to call it a day, the next morning Julian wakes up early and goes to the nearest forest to train Crystal and Manaphy for their uing battle. Crystal now has four typings with it, Normal, Electric, Poison, and Ground, it learned Mimic suddenly surprising Julian but the move will be very helpful in the battle, it also learned Thunderbolt, Dig, and Poison Jab after going through lots of training with Julian and increasing its arsenal. What''s even better is Crystal is immune to Ghost-type attacks if it stays in its normal form but it still can use other moves, making Crystal the versatile pokemon second to Arceus. Julian has already nned to start training Crystal to learn other types of moves, the most he is focused now is Fire and with Infernape by his side it won''t be hard, next will be Ghost, Dark, Psychic, and Rock. Manaphy has also grown a lot stronger as it has learned more moves such as Super Sonic, Whirlpool, Ice Beam, Protect, and Blizzard. These two will be enough to challenge the gym, well Crystal will be enough to take down all the gyms in Sinnoh but that would be too easy for Julian so he won''t make Crystal use Pur too much or it would be Crystal just hitting an open target. Another day goes by and Julian is finally ready to challenge the gym. He soon walks into the gym and sees the man, the gym keeper who he met a few days ago who informed him about the gym leader not being here. Gym Keeper "Oh, you are back again, you can go to the battlefield and wait there, I will inform the Gym leader about you" Julian nods and walks towards the battlefield when he reaches there he looks around to see the whole battlefield is dark with some lighted candles around it, a perfect ce for a Ghost pokemon to thrive, the shadows around the area can be used to hide and travel around without being noticed. Julian is now more serious as battling in this battlefield will be harder than anything, Ghost type pokemon are annoying to battle as they don''t have a physical existence unless they want to physically touch something. And with all these shadows they can easily go from one ce to another without being noticed. "So you must be the challenger" Julian heard and voice and turned around to see a tall woman with weird purple hair and wearing a long purple dress, she is the gym leader of this gym, Fantina. Fantina walked into the battlefield and Julian felt another presence beside her, soon a pokemon appeared next to her, it is a Mismagius, it is her partner. Fantina "Wee trainer, to my gym, I ept your challenge" Julian "That''s good to know, so are we staring or not?" Julian asked. Fantina "I see you are in a hurry but don''t worry, the battle will be over in minutes, then you can go ande back to challenge me whenever you want" Julian "That won''t be necessary, I think I can defeat you" Fantina "Sure, let''s get started then" Fantinaughed and walked towards the battlefield and took her stance. The gym keeper walked in as he will be the referee of this match. Fantina looked at her challenger who is wearing a cloth mask. Fantina ''Why do I feel like I know him very well, its that mask, he is hiding his face to cover his identity, who could it be?'' Fantina thought and suddenly realization hit her. Fantina ''Wait, the Champion Julian is here in the city, and it is more like him to challenge the gyms while traveling around, wait this can''t be the Julian right?'' Fantina tensed up and looked at Julian once again. Fantina ''Oh my god, it is him, those red eyes, that is clearly him, the Julian is here in my gym and challenging me, I have to give it my all'' Fantina realized that the person she is facing is Julian so she tensed up a little but she also got excited as she will be able to battle Julian. Referee "This will be a three on three pokemon battle, both the challenger and the gym leader cannot use more than three pokemons, the challenger is allowed to switch his pokemon during the battle while the gym leader can''t. The person at the end of the battle with no pokemon in their team loses this battle" The referee paused and started to speak again. Referee "Are the rules clear?" Julian "Yes" Referee "Then you may choose your pokemon" Fantina went first and tossed her Pokeball up in the air. Fantina "Duskull, I choose you" She sent out her Duskull. Julian "Manaphy let''s go" Julian sent out his Manaphy. Chapter 295 - Crystal Is Overpower Fantina is surprised to see a Manaphy but she didn''t expect any less from Julian, but seeing a Manaphy is not someone one can see every day. Referee "Is the challenger ready?" ?? Julian "Yes" Referee "Is the gym leader ready?" Fantina "Yes" Referee "Then let the battle begin" The referee waved his hand and started the match. Fantina "Duskull, use the Shadow" Fantina went straight to the hide and hit strategy. Julian "Manaphy, to the middle of the battlefield, then use Whirlpool" Manaphy nodded and floated towards the middle of the battlefield and created a Whirlpool, the Whirlpool swirl creating a big water body. Julian "Now blend in and cover the whole battlefield with water" Manaphy suddenly disappeared from sight and the Whirlpool came crashing down on the ground, a crater formed and all the water went into it. Now Manaphy could stay hidden without continuously using water moves to blend in. Fantina didn''t expect this at all, she never has seen someone turn the whole field upside down from the beginning of the battle. Now it was just a game of waiting. Fantina knew she has to make a move and so she decided to do so. Fantina "Duskull use Curse" Fantina made a big move, using Curse will lower Duskull''s health but in return, as time passes the Pokemon that got cursed will slowly lose its health and faint. Duskull sent out a purple shockwave across the whole battlefield, Curse is a move that cannot be dodged and Manaphy indeed got cursed. But this left Duskull vulnerable and exposed. Julian "Manaphy tray Duskull with a Whirlpool" Manaphy still remained unseen and suddenly a big Whirlpool came in and trapped Duskull in it, Duskull couldn''t get out and started to spin with the Whirlpool in the middle as it got dizzy. Manaphy is also slowly losing its health due to the Curse but it can hang on for a few minutes and this is all Julian needs Julian "Finish it with Water Pulse" Manaphy suddenly appeared right above the Whirlpool and shot a powerful Water Pulse at the center of the Whirlpool where Duskull is trapped, the Water Pulse hits its target and with a huge explosion of a ssh Duskull crashes on the ground as arge amount of wateres down behind it. Duskull fainted. Referee "Duskull is unable to battle Manaphy wins" Manaphy wins the first round but it will soon sumb to the curse so Julian calls it back to its Pokeball. Julian "I didn''t expect one of my pokemons to be taken down" He said, even though Manaphy didn''t faint, Curse will still be taking ce, Manaphy will faint inside its Pokeball but wille to return back to normal after a few hours. As he expected Ghost-type is the most annoying type to deal with. Fantina "I will take that as apliment, now for my next pokemon, Go" She said and tossed out another Pokeball and came out her next pokemon, Haunter. Julian "Crystal you are up" Julian said and Crystal popped its head out from his pocket and floated towards the middle of the battlefield and circled round and round in excitement, this will be Crystal''s first official pokemon battle. Fantina "What''s that pokemon?" She had never seen a pokemon like Crystal before so she doesn''t know what it holds. Fantina "Interesting, let''s see what this little one holds" She said and began by making the first move. Fantina "Haunter use Shadow Punch" Haunter went into the shadows and charged towards Crystal and got behind it, Crystal turned around as it senses Hunter, Hunter got surprised as Crystal noticed it but it still continued with its Shadow Punch. As the attacknded Crystal just floated on the spot as nothing happened. Julian "Thunderbolt" Crystal giggled and shot out a powerful Thunderbolt electrocuting Haunter, Haunter backed off as it got chard by that Thunderbolt. Julian "I forgot to tell, Crystal is a normal type pokemon" Julian said and gave off this information as he wanted to know what Fantina would do now. Fantina "I see, hehehe, nice one but I know how to take down normal type, Haunter use Sucker Punch" Haunter charged towards Crystal once again using Sucker Punch with full power. Julian "Crystal use Mimic" Crystal looked at Haunter and saw the move it''s using, suddenly Crystal''s arm also got covered with dark energy and charged towards Haunter using Sucker Punch as well. Too bad Mimic didn''t teach Crystal a specific type of move, but it did give the understanding of how to use the move. Crystal and Haunter shed in midair with a bang and Crystal got the upper hand as Haunter is weak to dark type moves. Julian "Now Thunderbolt" As Haunter backed of Crystal once again used Thunderbolt and sent Haunter crashing on the ground. Julian "Finish it, Thunderbolt this time full power" Crystal mewed loudly and sent a powerful bolt of lightning towards Haunter and zapped it until it fainted. Referee "Haunter is unable to battle. Crystal wins" As Julian expected Crystal will be his most powerful pokemonpared to any pokemon he has, except Infernape when he is in his Omni form. Chapter 296 - Julian Vs Fantina (2) Fantina ''What a powerful little pokemon'' She thought and frowned, she has toe up with something else to defeat this little one. ?? Fantina called back her Haunter to it Pokeball and looked at her Mismagius. Fantina "You are up next" Fantina said and the Mismagius next to her went towards the battlefield and looked at Crystal. Julian "You go first this time" Julian said. Fantina "Well then I won''t waste any time, Mismagius use Shadow Sneak" Mismagius went into the shadows and blend in with it, concealing its presence from Crystal, this time Crystal couldn''t detect its opponent because of the Shadow Sneak, it doesn''t have to worry because Shadow Sneak will have no effect on it. But Julian is still on guard as other moves can be used on Crystal as well while it is under the effect of Shadow Sneak. As Julian expected Fantina is trying to take Crystal by surprise. Fantina "Mismagius now use Magical Leaf" Mismagius suddenly appeared right behind Crystal and sent out Magical Leaves rushing towards it. Julian "Crystal turn to Poison" Before the Magical Leaf could hit, Crystal turned itself into Poison typing and took the attack head-on, the effect wasn''t too much and Julian got the time to make his next move. Julian "Crystal, now Poison Jab" Crystal charged towards Mismagius and Poison jabbed it, Mismagius got hit and backed down, the damage wasn''t much but what Julian hoped has happened. Mismagius is poisoned, even the poison won''t have much effect on Mismagius now Julian already knows what to do now. Mismagius backs down and maintained some distance from Crystal. Fantina ''He said it turn into Poison-type, that means this pokemon can change its typing, remarkable, wait now that it''s poison typing'' Fantina "Mismagius use Psybeam" Julian "Use Thunderbolt to counter" Crystal used Thunderbolt and shot it at the iing Psybeam, the two attacks collided and caused an explosion. Julian "Now Venoshock" Crystal then used a powerful Venoshock which passed through the smoke andnded on Mismagius causing its poison to re up and causing heavy damage. Mismagius came to the ground after the Poison ring up by the Venoshock. Fantina ''Not good, the poison will soon re up again if it uses one more Venoshock Mismagius won''t be able to handle it'' Fantina "Mismagius get in the Shadows and use Psybeam" Mismagius once again entered the shadows and this time attacked while hiding in it. Crystal moved around dodging the Psybeams from Mismagius, due to its small size dodging Mismagius attacks became very easy for Crystal. Fantina ''That one is too small and quick to get hit, Mismagius has to get close to it'' Fantina "Mismagius use Shadow Sneak" Mismagius concealed its presence and suddenly appeared right behind Crystal once again. Fantina "Now Sucker Punch" This time Crystal wasn''t able to escape and the Sucker Punchnded and caused Crystal to fly backward. Julian "Crystal, Thunderbolt" While Crystal is still going backward it uses its long tails to turn its body and sts a bolt of powerful lightning at Mismagius. Thunderbolt is the strongest attacking move Crystal knows right now at it can travel long distance at extreme speed due to its affinity. Mismagius gets zapped hard by the Thunderbolt and suddenly Paralysis takes ce, rendering Mismagius motionless, along with poison effect still going on Mismagius falls in a disadvantageous state. Julian "Crystal, Venoshock" Crystal stabilizes itself in gets close to Mismagius and releases a powerful Venoshock, which once again res up the poison in Mismagius. This time the effect is much higher thanst time and causes Mismagius to go down, but this pokemon is still very resistant and stubborn, it doesn''t want to give up even after taking so much damage. Julian is also impressed, he is just cheating using Crystal in battle but he wanted to see how it will perform and as he expected Crystal faced no problem facing others in battle and with its ability to keep on changing its typing, it is always at an advantage. Julian "Your Mismagius is indeed impressive but it cannot continue for much longer" Julian said. Fantina "I know but I won''t be backing down, Mismagius let''s go all out, use Psychic full power" Psychic is a versatile attack and can be used in any shape and form, Mismagius shoots it like a beam towards Crystal at full power. Julian "Crystal change to Electric-type and use Thunderbolt" When Crystal is in a particr type, the type of move-rted to it bes stronger that when it uses it in other type forms, so the Thunderbolt will be more powerful now. The two powerful attacks shes head-on causing a big explosion and a big shockwave travels across the battlefield which causes the little Crystal to flip twice, after the flip it done it giggles. The Thunderbolt soon rips through the Psychic st and hits Mismagius once again and this time it''s over. It gets zapped hard and the poison also res up at the same time, Mismagius faints and fall on the ground. Referee "Mismagius is unable to battle, Crystal, wins. Henceforth the winner of this battle is the challenger" The referee calls the final decision. Crystal bes happy and ps with its tiny hand and goes back to Julian and sits down on his shoulder. Fantina sighs and called back her Mismagius into her Pokeball. She then walks towards Julian with a Relic Badge in her hand. Fantina "It''s an honor to give this badge to the Julian from my own hands, I really appreciate your visit to my humble gym" Julian says nothing and takes off his mask as it would be disrespectful to hide his face even after the other party knowing his identity. Julian smile and take the badge from her. Julian "Thank you, you really are a good gym leader, you can say I cheated using this little one here" Julian said and gave the Badge to Crystal. Crystal took the badge and looked around it and started to y with it. Fantina "Well, I cannotin, I have already lost and it was a fair match, my opponent was just too strong" Soon Julian left the gym with Crystal. Julian "Crystal give back the badge or you will drop it" Julian asked Crystal to give the badge back but it didn''t, it turned away from Julian and continued ying with it. Julian sighed and left it to do what it wants, it will soon get bored of it and will go back to sleep. Chapter 297 - Little Competition Just like Julian had expected Crystal soon got bored of ying with the badge and gave it back to him while it went to sleep. He returned back to his hotel room, now that he haspleted what he wanted to do in Hearthome city, it is time to leave and visit the next city. ?? Julian ''The next city I should visit is Veilstone city, the gym in that city is a fighting-type gym'' He said and went through his team, he has Togetic and Victini who can take down the fighting gym but he wants to battle different this time while he is at a disadvantage. Julian ''Let''s think about itter, I have to get out of this city first'' Julian packed some of his stuff and made some food for the road ahead, he still had some time before he could leave so he sat down and decided to see what''s going on in Sinnoh. He turned on the TV to see the same old TV shows going on, some news talked about him and some reported the happenings around Sinnoh. As he switched around the channel he stumbled into one talking about the pokemon breading exhibition that is being held in Sceon Town. Julian ''Isn''t Sceon town very close to Hearthome, and if I am correct it will fall under the same route that I am taking to Veilstone City, I should go and check it out, I should learn about breading more, I might need the knowledge in future'' Julian needed to learn pokemon breeding as his pokemons will breed someday in the future and for their children to be born in a healthy condition he might need all the knowledge he can have. After going through other things and seeing nothing much has happened he decides to leave, but before that he looks through his pouch to see if he forgot something, after a few minutes he sighed in relief as he forgot nothing. While he did go through his pouch he also noticed the Orb he took away from Cyrus. Julian "I need to get this Orb back to where it belongs, I have to find the rightke from where it came and find a way to ce it back there" He said, got up and left. While leaving the manager personally guided him outside, Julian thanked him and hopped onto his bike and rode off. He soon was out of the Hearthome city and back to the wild road of Sinnoh, on the way, he trains his pokemon and let them battle each other in a mock battle. Julian always keeps a monthlypetition between his pokemons to see who improved the most during the month''s training, and a littlepetition between the group always made the little ones to strive for growing stronger than others. But Julian knew that this might cause fighting between his pokemons but he knows how to handle these conflicts between his pokemons, he always treats them equally so that his pokemons don''t get jealous of others in their group. Today will be the first monthlypetition between his little pokemons, Julian will be the referee and his older pokemons will be by the side looking after the little ones so that they don''t hurt each other severely. The seven little ones, Crystal, Manaphy, Gible, Cranidos, Victini, Togetic, and Shinx are excited about this little tournament between themselves. And Julian also has a price, that is the winner will get whatever they want to eat for a month until the nextpetition will be held. Julian "Crystal you are not participating" Julian knew if he let Crystal battle, it would just spam its friends while changing its typing and defeat them easily, Crystal is very intelligent and it can easily tell what type to change into to defeat its opponents. Sometimes even Julian is surprised by how intelligent Crystal it, it can solve smile puzzles that are designed for humans, like the Jigsaw. Crystal looks sad after hearing Julian. Julian "Come here, Crystal, you always drink your MooMoo milk so you don''t need to participate, you sit with Infernape and cheer for your friends" Julian said and passed a bottle of MooMoo milk to Crystal, Crystal suddenly forgot that it was sad just a second ago andtched on to the bottle, Julian then passed the bottle to Infernape. Julian "Don''t let Crystal wander around alone" Infernape nodded and joined Gengar and the others in the sideline to watch the minipetition. This is a smilepetition between the six pokemon, the first round will be a one on one battle between each other, then the three who will advance will have a triple threat between them. Julian "So are you guys ready?" He asked the six pokemons in front of him. All of them nodded excitedly as they are ready to get their hands on the grand prize of the favorite food for a month. Julian "Ok now, your opponent will be randomly chosen by yourself, here are six pieces of papers and two of each has the exact same number, whoever gets the same numbers will be facing each other understood?" His six pokemons nodded as they understood what Julian said. Julian "Ok then" He said and shuffled the six pieces of paper and put them on the ground so that his pokemons can pick them up. Julian "Ok, everyone, pick just one" Julian stood there as he watched his pokemons move forward to pick one. Chapter 298 - Victini Vs Shinx (Little Competition) His Six pokemons came forwards and each of them picked up one piece of paper each, then they brought the paper to Julian so that he can open them and see who will be facing who. First came Shinx and gave the paper to Julian, Julian opened up the piece of paper and revealed the number inside to be ''1''. ?? Gible came second and gave the paper to Julian, the number inside is ''3''. Then came Togetic with number ''2''. Cranidos came forwards and got number ''2'', hence he will be facing Togetic. Victini got number ''1'' and will be facing Shinx. Manaphy got ''3'' and will be facing Gible. Seeing the match ups, Julian nodded and moved to the side. Julian "Shinx and Victini you both have five minutes to prepare, then we will start thepetition" Julian said and walked to the side and let the little ones do what they want as he just looks at them. Soon five minutes passed and the first battle is about to begin. Julian is standing in the referee corner, while Victini and Shinx are standing opposite to each other as they are ready to start battling. Julian "Are both of you ready?" He asked them, the nodded in response. Julian "Then let the battle begin" With those words, the battle started. Shinx started first as he sent a bolt of electricity towards Victini, Victini dodged it and appeared right behind Shinx by using Teleport, Shinx turned around and swiped at Victini with its ws covered with electricity. Victini moved back and sent out a Psyshock towards Shinx, Shinx jumped up and dodged the Psyshock by few inches and once again shot a lightning bolt at Victini. Victini used Magic Coat and took the hit, the bolt of Electricity went back to Shinx and hit him. Shinx backed down and used charged towards Victini while using Thunder Fang, Victini tried to back off but Shinx used his powerful hind legs tounch himself towards Victini and got a bite on its leg. Victini got zapped but it teleported away escaping from the continuous zapping. Victini shook its head and snapped out of the buzzing sensation in its body. Victini then started to shoot Fireballs rapidly at Shinx, this was taught to Victini by Gengar, how to channel energy into a concentrated shape, that is a circle and shoot it repeatedly. Though a single fireball doesn''t have much damage, getting hit by multiple fireballs can cause severe damage and shock to the opponent''s body. But Shinx has a counter, he is fast and agile, he easily dodges the fireballs and charges towards Victini with another Thunder Fang, this time Victini is ready and when Shinx get close to it, Victini teleports and appears right behind Shinx and sts Shinx with multiple fireballs, causing Shinx to crash on the ground. Shinx struggles and gets back to his feet and looks at Victini, Shinx has the least experience when ites to battle in Julian''s team as he is a new member but he is very focused and determined when ites to training, this caught Absol attention and he sometimes trains Shinx. Shinx once again shots a lightning bolt at Victini and Victini counter it with multiple fireballs causing smoke to cover the whole battlefield, this is where Shinx takes advantage, Shinx''s eyes are special, he can see through objects when he concentrates, he still cannot use this ability to full extent until he evolves into a Luxray but its till enough to see through smoke. He sees Victini in the middle of the smoke looking around trying to find him, he once again shoots a lightning bolt at Victini. This time Victini didn''t see iting and got zapped and fell on the ground. Seeing his chance Shinx charged towards Victini using Thunder Fang for the final blow, sensing Shinx rushing towards it, Victini pulled off one of its favorite moves as well. It suddenly used Searing Shot, with this arge fire ring started to expand around Victini and in a fraction of seconds, it traveled across the whole battlefield. The Searing Shot had sessfully hit Shinx and he went down, he didn''t faint but if he continues he might. Julian "Ok that''s it Victini wins" Julian dered the winner and its Victini, Shinx got sad but Julian walked towards him and patted his head. Julian "Don''t worry you did great" Julian said and gave Shinx his favorite treat, Shinx became happy again after eating his favorite treat, Victini also asked for a treat as it won so Julianughed and gave it one as well. Victini is a proud one and its Searing Shot has never failed it, there is no way of escaping it as it covers the whole battlefield and the power behind it is enormous as well. Victini has very powerful moves in its arsenal that is why it won this match easily. Julian "Ok Victini and Shinx go and y sit with Infernape, Cranidos and Togetic will battle next" Shinx and Victini nodded and went towards Infernape and sat next to him as they watch their friends take each other on the next battle. Cranidos clearly has the advantage here because of his typing and more experience then Togetic also has some good moves in her Arsenal which can help her ovee the disadvantage. Julian "Are you both ready?" He asked them. The two nodded in excitement. Chapter 299 - Getting Serious (Little Competition) Cranidos and Togetic are ready for their battle, Julian also curious about how these two will perform, both are really the worst match up for each other, Cranidos has a weak special defense and Togetic has a weak physical defense. Whoever gets the best hit will win this battle, it can even get over in just one move. ?? Julian "Ok let the battle begin" With Julian''smand, the two got started wasting no time. Cranidos used Ancient Power and sent it hurdling towards Togetic but Togetic countered and shattered the projectiles with Drain Punch. Togetic then used Sweet Kiss and sent it towards Cranidos, Cranidos moved away and dodged the Sweet Kiss, Cranidos then used methrower at Togetic, Togetic couldn''t dodge it this time and got hit by it. Since Togetic has a high special defense it was able toe out of it with little harm, Togetic then used Psyshock and sent it towards Cranidos, Cranidos moved away but the Psyshock hit the ground and sent the rubles flying everywhere, one of the rubles blinded Cranidos. Seeing the chance Togetic dived towards Cradinos while using Brick Break to finish this in one move. But Cranidos snapped out of it and charged towards Togetic using Zen Headbutt. They both collided and the result is obvious, Cranidos got the upper hand and sent Togetic back flying, and it is time to finish this. Cranidos saw his chance and used Stone Edge, blue glowing rocks came ripping out of the ground and mmed Togetic from under. Togetic was once again sent flying and this time higher than usual. Julian "Ok enough, Cranidos wins" Julian said and dere the results, he caught the falling Togetic in his hand and as he expected she had been knocked out. Even though Togetic had a very high special defense it paled inparison to Cranidos''s raw physical power and she iscking speed which is holding her back from dodging fast and urate moves. Julian sighs and gives Togetic a berry, she gets up and looks sad because she lost but Julian gave her her favorite treat and passed her to Infernape so that she can y with Crystal and others. Julian "Cranidos, you have grown a lot stronger" Cranidos became happy after being praised by Julian. Julian looked at Togetic who seems to have calmed down. Julian ''I think I need to find a Shiny Stone so that Togetic can evolve and be able to use her full potential'' He thought and looked at the remaining two of his pokemon that are left to battle, Gible and Manaphy, the two earliest and most experienced of his Sinnoh pokemons. They both are equally matched and Julian wants to see who has a better battle instinct. Manaphy and Gible took their stance, both of them don''t have an advantage against the other, Manaphy is a pure water type and Gible is a Dragon/Ground-type, his Dragon type cancels the weakness over the water typing. Now it all depends on how they use their moves and how they execute their battle strategies. Julian gets back to the referee position and looks at both of them. Julian "Are you both ready?" He asks them and gets a yes from both the side. Julian "The you may begin" With that, the battle starts and Gible starts off strong with a Dragon Pulse, seeing the Dragon Pulse heading towards it Manaphy used Ice Beam to counter it. As the moves collided an explosion took ce and shards of ice went everywhere across the battlefield, Gible then charged towards Manaphy as his ws glowed blue, he is using Dragon w as his next move. Manaphy also charged towards Gible and created a Water Pulse in front of it and started to supply more power to it, this move looks like an Aqua Jet after being executed as Manaphy charges towards Gible like a jet but it isn''t, Manaphy cannot seem to earn Aqua Jet so Julian came up with this move. As they were about to sh, Gible pulled off something out of nowhere, he used Dig and went into the ground and let Manaphy crash on the ground. Manaphy didn''t expect this at all, it couldn''t stop itself because it is traveling at a very high speed and it crashed into the ground causing a small crater in it. Gible them came out of the ground and sent a powerful Dragon Pulse at Manaphy and hit it, Manaphy is sent flying backward with that but it stabilizes itself in air and uses Water Veil and slowly tries to heal itself. Gible doesn''t want to give Manaphy a chance to heal so he sends another Dragon Pulse at Manaphy, Manaphy moves away but the Water Veil gets shattered as the Dragon Pulse was able to grace the side andpletely destroy it. Manaphy has recovered a little and distance itself from Gible by floating high up in the air. Gible just stands their and hops left and right waiting for Manaphy to make a move, seeing the smug look on Gible''s face Manaphy gets annoyed and suddenly creates a gigantic Whirlpool and brings it crashing down on Gible. Gible sees the gigantic Whirlpool and panics for a second as he has no ce to escape but he suddenly realizes that he can dig. He uses his fast digging and digs deep into the ground, he could feel the water rushing behind him as he digs deeper into the ground, so to escape from the water rushing behind him, he starts to dig up and down, side by side and in a zig-zag pattern, feeling the surface near Gible burst out as the water follows behind him but he didn''t expect to be attacked suddenly Manaphynded a powerful Water Pulse on Gible and sent him rolling on the wet battlefield. Manaphy sensed the water following behind Gible as was able to pinpoint where Gible is digging and was able tond that attack when Gible came out. Even Julian got surprised by how Manaphy pulled that off. Manaphy now has its chance and sted an Ice Beam at Gible, Gible got back to its feet and sted a Fire st at the iing Ice Beam andpletely destroyed it, the Fire st continued towards Manaphy and hit it but Manaphy wasn''t harmed that much due to its resistance. Julian smiled seeing this. Julian ''These two are getting serious in their battle by the second, let''s see how it goes from now''. Chapter 300 - For The Grand Price (Little Competition) This is getting more heated as Gible and Manaphy have gotten serious, Julian''s other pokemon are also tense as they watch from sidelines with his older pokemon as if they are watching a suspense movie, they pass the bucket of popcorn from one to another enjoying this battle. It was, of course, Gengar who started it, Julian didn''t expect Gengar to have his own bucket of popcorn kept in his dimension. ?? Julian ''From where did he get those popcorns?'' He asked himself as he looked at his pokemons on the sideline who is watching this battle in interest. He chuckles and looks back at Manaphy and Gible, even he doesn''t know who is going to win this battle as he knows his pokemon will pull off something one after the other, even surprising him. Gible shook off the water dripping on his body. Manaphy once again uses Water Veil to heal itself but gets sted by a Dragon Pulse from Gible always preventing it from healing itpletely. One this Manaphy has is that it can use Ice Type moves, Gible is four times weak to Ice-type, while Gible doesn''t know any Grass or Electric-type moves. So he has to be very careful by not getting hit by those Ice Beams from Manaphy. Manaphy now makes a move and sends out multiple Water Pulse at Gible, just one of them is weakpared to a normal Water Pulse but Manaphy is trying to get the hit with quantity. Gible dodges them easily by digging up and going down the ground and he starts to dig fast, Manaphy creates another huge Whirlpool and sents it down towards the hole made by Gible, Gible knows that the water ising behind him but he has to dig a little more before he continues, as the water is close to him, he starts to move in random direction and slowing down the flow of the water, this time he digs until the waterpletely stops. But he doesn''t get out, he started to dig deeper and create arge pit inside, after he has done with it he makes all the water trapped in the holes he made to flow into this huge pit he just created. Now Manaphy cannot force him when he goes around the ground as all the water will flow down into that pit. Gible just created a small underground water source. Above the surface Manaphy get''s confused because it cannot sense the flowing water, it can tell that all the water has gathered up in a ce, so now it cannot pinpoint Gible''s position. This is what Gible wants and now he starts to y the hit and hide game with Manaphy. Hees out of one hole and hits Manaphy with a Dragon Pulse and retreats back into the hole, Manaphy tries to hit back with the Ice Beam but it always misses as Gible has a lot of time to make an escape from the underground maze he just created. Seeing it was no use, Manaphy decides to overflow the underground tunnel Gible created with water. It starts to sent Whirlpool one after the other, Gible is also able to and few Dragon Pulse on Manaphy, both are getting tired now and Julian can tell this ising to an end. Manaphy''s strategy is working as Gible notice water has started to rise and flood his underground tunnels rapidly. And after a few seconds, it happens and Gible is forced out of his holes, seeing this Manaphy shoots an Ice Beam at Gible but he dodges by moving to the side and sts a Dragon Pulse at Manaphy. Manaphy also moves to the side and dodges it. Both of them are nearly out of their energy and they just have onest big move to decide who will be victorious. It''s a stare down, the atmosphere gets silent as Julian''s other pokemons have popcorn stuck in their mouth as they wait in anticipation for the next move the two will choose to end this battle. Manaphy makes a move and charges towards Gible, yellow energy surrounds Manaphy pulsing with power. Gible also makes a move, he also charges towards Manaphy as his body glows pure white with silver linings. Julian ''Last Resort from Manaphy and Double Edge from Gible, looks like it ends here'' He thinks and watches the final exchange. Both Gible and Manaphy shes and cause a shockwave to travel across the battlefield blowing away the tiny rubbles of it. His other pokemons still have the same popcorn in their mouth as they wait for the smoke to clear and see who the winner is. The smoke clears and both Gible and Manaphy can be seen on the ground struggling to get up, both of them are at their limits, but they get up somehow at stare at each other. But then both of them copse at the same time on the ground. "That''s enough its a draw" Julian says and walks towards them and lifts them up in one arr each and give them some berries so that they can replenish their strength. Julian "You both fought well but since its a draw both of you won''t be advancing" Julian said and smiled. Hearing this both Gible and Manaphy get stunned, they fought so hard but at the end none of them advanced, at least they didn''t get mad because they got their favorite snacks from Julian. They ate and joined the others where they got weed by tiny ps and cheers. Julian "So the finalists are Cranidos and Victini, I guess one of you will be the champion for this month''spetition" Julian said. Victini and Cranidos started at each other, they are ready to get their hands on the grand prize and the one who is stopping them from doing so is the one standing opposite to them. Chapter 301 - End Of The Little Competition. Its time for the finals and Victini and Cranidos are ready for the final battle, Cranidos once again has the advantage as he is resistant to Victini''s fire type moves and Victini''s finishers are its Fire-Type moves so Victini has to rely on its Psychic ability to win this battle. Julian "Both of you take your position" ?? Julian said and waited for Victini and Cranidos to get into their position, as they stood on their respective spot both looked at each other. Both are determined to win this and will go all out to see who is stronger. Julian "Are you both ready?" Julian asked and got a nod from both of them. Julian "Then let the battle begin" With this, the battle started and both went in, Cranidos and Victini moved back and started with a special attack. Cranidos used Ancient power while Victini used Incinerate, both attacks collided but the rocks broke through the fire and headed towards Victini, the rocks are chard and hot but have slowed down and weakened in the process, Victini easily dodged it by using Teleport and appeared behind Cranidos andnded a Fire Punch on his back and sent him rolling on the ground, the damage was not much as Cranidos just rolled back to his feet and sent another pair of glowing rocks using Ancient Power. Victini moved back a little and sent a weak Psychic st at the iing projectiles and caused them to change their direction, the glowing rocks missed Victini and crashed in the ground. Julian ''Victini is avoiding the use of powerful moves to not run out of energy soon in the battle'' Julian realized what Victini is doing, Victini''s moves are powerful but they are taxing as well so using little energy will make itst longer in the battle. Cranidos then charged towards Victini using Head Butt, Victini decides to take Cranidos head-on and uses me Charge and rush towards Cranidos with extremely high speed. Cranidos also speeds up as he puts more power behind his legs to move faster, as they were about to collide Victini uses Teleport and suddenly disappears from there. Cranidos is stunned and slips due to the sudden disappearance of his opponent and he cannot stop himself in an instant due to the high speed he is running at. Victini appears right behind Cranidos and once again uses me Charge and charges towards Cranidos from the back, this time it is twice the time faster than before due to the me Charge, Victininds the hit and makes Cranidos roll on the ground as he goes and hit a rock, the rock cracks and Cranidos is now stuck in it. Victini finds its chance and decides to make the final move. Victini uses Psychic and sts a powerful Psychic beam at Cranidos andnds it, the rock shatters this time and Cranidos is now in a tough spot. Victini once again charges towards Cranidos using me Charge and its speed is 3 times faster than the first one. As Cranidos sees Victini approaching at such high speed he pulls out a final move, he ms the ground with his tiny hands and suddenly blue glowing rocks rip the ground apart and sts Victini away. Smoke fills the battlefield and everyone is ready to see the results. As the smoke clears it is revealed that Victini has suffered damage but it has survived, it did got hit by the Stone Edge at the beginning but it soon used Teleport to get any further damage from the other edges that will being out of the ground. Cranidos is tried after using that Stone Edge, he had used all his remaining power behind that move, it was enough to bring down Victini but Teleport really saved Victini there. Cranidos wobbled a little and went down on the ground as it got tired and fell asleep. Julian "Ok the battle is over, Victini wins" Victini became happy after hearing Julian and showed its signature V to its friends who are watching at the sidelines. Julian picked up Cranidos and put him to the side and let him sleep, both Victini and Cranidos were not in their full potential as they had fount a battle earlier now, it looks like both of them are tired. Victini also yawns and goes to sleep on top of Snox''s belly who is sleeping under the shade of the tree. Julian "That battle took a lot from them I guess, they went directly to sleep" He said and chuckled and started to prepare stuff for the night, it''s already evening and he decided to camp here. Time soon passed by and Victini is enjoying its favorite food while showing it to its friends, they were jealous but they understood that they lost, of course, the most pissed are Manaphy and Gible and they didn''t lose but they didn''t win either. Julian ''Sceon city is very close to this ce, I will reach it before tomorrow''s sundown, I hope I won''t miss any important things that are going to happen in tomorrows exhibition'' He though and ate his food. Chapter 302 - Breeding Lecture Early morning Julian woke up and packed up his stuff as its time to continue his journey towards the Sceon town, he wanted to learn about some breeding stuff and the best way for a rough trainer like to to learn about it is through exhibitions likes this that are held in cities and towns. The exhibitions start today morning and Julian has to reach there before sundown so he can at least get some knowledge about it. ?? After feeding his pokemon he hits the road and speeds away towards Sceon town, his bike rides over the route at high speed as the air blows his coat behind him wildly. Crystal pops out its head and gets hit by the fast blowing wind and causes it to close its eyes, it opens its eyes once again and starts to enjoy the speed they are riding it, it then starts to do weird stuff like opening its mouth, pull out its tails to let it flow along with Julian''s coat. Julian had to slow down a little because he is afraid he might blow away Crystal if it tried to get out of his pocket. Julian "Crystal stay in, I will give you some milk after we get to the nearest town" Julian shouted as the air muffled his voice, Crystal nodded and went down his pocket and only popped out half of its head to look at what is in front of them. Julian soon arrived in front of Sceon town. Julian "Well looks like I arrived faster than I expected, I still have a lot of time to look around and get some knowledge" He said and put on his cloth mask and rode into the town, as he expected the whole town is in buzz because breeders from all over the region havee here, there even seems to be a public lecture being held here to make the normal masses understand about pokemon breeding and what should and shouldn''t be done while breeding. Julian found the ce where this lecture will be held, it seems that a very famous Pokemon breeding professor will be here today. Julian ''Well looks like I am lucky, the professor that ising is Professor Cifen, I know about him, he seems to be very knowledgeable about pokemon and their breeding, he also helped people find out about pokemons and how certain type of pokemons can only be bred with certain type of pokemon, he is also behind the ssification of Egg group for pokemon'' Julian is surprised by this visit of Professor Cifen, he is a very reputable professor because he cracked the code of pokemon breeding and that some types of pokemon can only breed with certain pokemons. But Julian has to wait for an hour before this lecture begins. Julian "Since I have to wait, let''s walk around and see what else there is in this town" He said and started to walk around the town after parking his bike, the town is not very big so Julian can cover the whole town on his feet. He starts to look around the town and sever disys disyed by young and aspiring breeders, some of them disyed the process of breeding, some exined the science and procedure behind it. Seeing this Julian starts to understand a little about breeding. After looking around for a while he soon got to the center of the town where the lecture will be held, since its a free lecture anyone is invited, Julian looks around and finds a seat that is not upied and sits down, he is sitting at the back. He is surprised by how many people are actually joining this lecture, he looked around and saw people everywhere, all of them are here to listen to the lecture. He saw some new station vehicles around the main stage, it seems the news channels are covering this as well. Julian sat down and waited until Professor Cifen walked up the tform, he is an old man with a white beard and hair, he is wearing a brown suit and a small baton in his hand. Cifen "Wee everyone, today we will be discussing pokemon breeding, many of you rise pokemon and your pokemon has the right to breed as well" Julian ''You don''t have to say that loud, everyone understands'' Julian though. Cifen "And sometimes as a trainer you have to know how to breed your pokemon so that their children would be born healthy and strong just like their parents if their parents are strong and healthy as well" Julian ''Did I make a mistakeing here, you really don''t have to specify that, everyone knows about it'' He though and continued listening to Cifen. Soon Cifen started his lecture and a few minutes passed by Julian calmed down as the lecture was not bad at all, Professor Cifen really knows his job and is exining everything carefully to the audience. Julian carefully listened to Cifen and took down some important notes in his mind about all the things he needs to know, what pokemon belongs to what egg group and which pokemon can sessfully breed with each other. While Julian is busy doing this, very close to the town a group of men and women in white uniforms are standing together, they seem to be up to something. One of them is standing in the middle and talking to others. "We need to kidnap Cifen and get out of there quickly, the whole area is under protection so we have to act quickly" The man in the middle said. "Ok all of you, as soon as we enter the perimeter of the lecture, move out and smokescreen everyone, then pick up Cifen and get out of there as soon as possible" They discussed for a few seconds and got into the hovership which took off. Chapter 303 - Bringing It Down As Julian continues taking down notes from Professor Cifen''s lecture when he suddenly heard a loud hovering sound getting closer to them. Julian looked towards the direction of the sound and noticed a ck hover-ship approaching them, he looked at the logo on the side of this hover-ship and sighed. ?? Julian "And here I thought I was done with these fools" Julian sighed once again and looked at the huge red R on it. Julian ''Giovanni, what are you up to now, don''t tell me you are still looking for a way to find Mewtwo again'' He though and sent a telepathic message to Gengar. Julian [Gengar as soon as something happens in this area, take action] Gengarughed as he is now able to cause havoc again. Julian continued listening to the lecture when the hovership got close enough and stopped, Professor Cifen stopped and looked up, followed by everyone who is in the area. An Officer Jenny who is on the scene is also surprised and took out a megaphone and started to talk through it. Jenny "Whoever you are, get away from here, this is a no flying zone" But the hovership ignores Officer Jenny andes right above the tform, suddenly the doors open and few Team Rocket grunts jumped out of it with the assistant of some ropes but suddenly for some reason the ropes snapped and they came crashing down on the floor causing everyone to get startled. Gengar who is the reason for this is giggling as he looked at this grunts rubbing their asses in pain, they soon get up and pull out their weapons and points it at Professor Cifen. Grunt "Professor Cifen you areing with us" One of the grunts said as he moved towards Professor Cifen to tie him up. Jenny "Freeze don''t move" Officer Jenny rushed in and pointed a gun at the grunts as the Growlithe beside her growled at the grunts but before she could do anything the other grunts pulled out their pokeballs and sent out their Weezings and Koffings, those pokemon suddenly covered the whole tform with smoke. Soon the smoke cleared and the hovership went away, the people in the tform looked around and saw nothing significant, everyone who was on the tform before are still here, even Professor Cifen is here. Jenny "What happened, I thought they were here to take Professor Cifen away, why is he still here? Is anyone missing?" She asked and looked around and got no answer, everyone is present here. Jenny "Then why did they evene here?" Cifen "Let''s leave it at that officer Jenny, let me continue with the lecture, I still have few things to finish before the day ends" Jenny "As you wish Professor Cifen" She said and walked away, she felt weird by all this, these people came out of nowhere and tried to kidnap Professor Cifen but left without him, and there doesn''t seem to be anyone missing at all. Jenny "Strange, but I should prepare some extra forces if theye back" She said and pulled out her phone to make some arrangements. While she is doing that Julian continued to listen to Professor Cifen without any worries. ____________________ The Team Rocket hover-ship arrived miles away from the lecture site. Grunt "Hahaha, the kidnapping was sessful, they didn''t even try to put on a fight, we must have scared them" One of them said and looked at the bag in front of them, the bag seems to be holding something inside as it is moving. Grunt 2 "Get him out of there or he might choke on his own breath" Grunt "Idiot that''s a bag made from jute, its breathable" Grunt 2 "Anyways get him out of it, we need to show him to the admin" Grunt "Yes" He said and walked towards the bag and loosen the know on the top, as he did he felt the bag go lite. Grunt "Hmm?" He said and opened the bag to find nothing inside, he got startled and fell on his ass with a shocked look on his face. Grunt 2 "What happened?" Grunt "There is no one inside" He said and got back to his feet. Grunt 2 "Don''t bullshit me, how coul-" Before he could finish his word he also froze because he also saw nothing inside, just a few seconds ago the bag was moving as if someone is trying to struggle out of it but now there seems to be no one inside. Grunt 3 "What happened?" Another grunt approached and asked them. Grunt "The Professor is not in the bag, in fact, nothing is in the bag" Grunt "How could that be, I personally put that man inside that bag" He said and walked towards the bag to find nothing at all. Grunt 3 "What is happening?" He asked others and looked around the hover-ship. Suddenly the alert buzzer of the ship went off and red light flickered all over the hover-ship, a mechanical voice started to y [Alert system damaged, vessels going down, power malfunction] All kinds of warning started to show up and the grunts on board became scared. "GEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGE" Suddenly they heard creepyughter and when they turned around to the source of it, they saw a ck shadow slowly expanding with its crimson red eyes staring into their soul and a scary smile stuck on its face. All the grunts screamed in fear as the whole hover-ship went and crashed on the ground and burst into mes. Gengar came out of the shadows and looked at the shipwreck and giggled and made his way back to Julian. Chapter 304 - Gengars Adventure In The Sub-World Gengar started to go back to the town as he looked around the scenery, on the path he would scare from travelers and trainers who were minding their own business andugh at them after he traveled for a while he suddenly stumbled into something. A rock that had some weird scriptures written on it and he saw some carvings of pokemons on it as well. ?? Gengar looks at the rock curiously as he feels the ghost energy that is so close to him oozing out of this rock, he looks around and chuckles and dives into the rock. As Gengar goes in the ruins on the rock suddenly glows and fades away in a matter of seconds. _______________ Julian who just finished taking notes of everything he needed to from Professor Cifen decided to call it a day. Julian "Where is Gengar he was supposed to be here" He said and tried to feel Gengar''s presence, he could tell that Gengar is just miles away from him, very close to the town. Julian ''Why is he staying still, let me go and check'' He thought and made his way towards where he sensed Gengar''s presence, as he was on his way he suddenly felt his connection with Gengar grew weak all of a sudden, he frowned and fastened his footsteps. After a while he arrived right at the same spot where Gengar was, Julian looked at the weird carved rock in front of him and sighed. He could still feel his connection to Gengar but it was connected to this rock, Julian ced his hand to examine the rock and found Ghost energy lingering inside this rock. Julian ''A very concentrated amount of Ghost energy, Gengar must have found something and went in, since I can still feel our connection there is no need to worry, let''s camp here and wait, who knows what he is up to this time'' Julian sighs and brought out his pokemons and started to set up a camp. Absol who is sensitive to Ghost energy looked at the rock and growled at it. Julian "Don''t worry Gengar is up to something, let him do what he is up to" Julian said and went back to setting up the camp, well he liked camping more than staying in a hotel nowadays, maybe it is due to the cold breeze that aids him in a peaceful sleep or the sight of all his pokemons around him, either way, he loves camping. __________________ As Gengar enters this weird rock he suddenly finds himself in a simr ce as he was before, the samend, the same grass, the same trees, and the same town that is very close to him but there is one difference. Gengar knows that this is not a real world, he has his own dimension and he can identify any foreign worlds that are not really very easily, he looks around and feels the ghost energy covering the surroundings, he giggles and moves forward to see if he finds anything interest of him, he found his way into the town and was surprised to see this ce filled with Ghost-type pokemons, Gengar could tell that these are real pokemons living in this vast world that is not real and they seem to realize it as well, some of these Ghost pokemon are entering and exiting this world on their will. Gengar didn''t want to scare all of them off as it is no fun so he suppressed his aura and joined a group of ghost type pokemons. Seeing a Gengar enter their group, the ghost type in this group got weary, Gengars are mostly trouble makers and Julian''s Gengar is the biggest of them all and they are very powerful as well, seeing the group is wary of him Gengar started to make funny face and tried to make themugh and ease them up. He is sessful as he is able to make the groupugh, Gengar gets weed to the group, this group has a Misdreavus, Mismagius, Bte, Duskull, and a Gastly. In this group, Gastly looked at Gengar in awe as it had never seen such a big Gengar before. Gengar [Hello my name is Gengar, I just arrived in this world, what is it?" Mismagius [Oh so you are new huh? she is a sub-world for ghost-type pokemons, this world has existed for ages, no one knows who created it, from the looks of it, you came from the Sinnoh region is the closest gate to this town is from Sinnoh] Mismagius asked. Gengar [Yes, I found this weird rock when I was on my way back to my master, I just decided to take a look and now I am here] Mismagius [So you have a trainer?] Gengar [Yes, he is the strongest trainer] Mismagius [Every pokemon thinks that their trainer is the best, you don''t have to boast about it] Gengar [Gegege, well whatever] Gengarughed it off and looked at the tiny Gastly who is looking at him. Gengar [I remember my days when I was a just like you, I was lucky enough to evolve into a Gengar and more lucky to find Master] Gastly [If I find a master, will I also evolve into a Gengar just like you?] Gengar [Yes, if you find a master who is at least the tenth of my master that is] Bte [You really think your master is that great, my master an I have defeated many opponents, I have lost only 10 battles out of 102 in my whole time I spent with my master] The Bte said with a proud look. Mismagius [I have lost only 15 battles out of 107 I have participated with my master] Gengar [Gegege, great, great] Misdreavus [What about you mister Gengar? how many battles ave you lost?" Gengar [Gegege, now that I have heard of your achievements I am too embarrassed to tell my record, gegege] Bte [He so you are just a show-off, and I thought you were a big deal boasting about your master, Mismagius let''s go he is a loser, we don''t take in losers in our group] He said and tried to take the Mismagius with him but he suddenly felt a pressure that he had never experienced before in his whole life span, he turned around and looked at Gengar and fear surfaced his eyes. Gengar [Gegege, friend, I hope I didn''t offend you right, you really don''t mind me joining the group right? gegege] Gengar said andughed at Bte, the Bte realized that this Gengar is a monster and he won''t want to get on the bad side of this Gengar. Bte [Of course not, you are wee, friend, Oh I remember something, I have to go back to my master, she must be waiting for me] The Bte said and made a run. Mismagius is surprised by this, she thought that the Bte would show her around this town but he suddenly made an escape after taking to this Gengar. Mismagius looked at Gengar. Mismagius [What did you do?] She asked. Gengar [Me, gegege, I did nothing, gegege] Heughed. Chapter 305 - Gengars Adventure In The Sub-World (2) Gengar had made himself familiar with the group. Gengar [So where are we going?] ?? Gengar asked as he looked at the group. Misdreavus [We were going to look around this city, there is an area that has a very concentrated amount of Ghost energy which can help us grow stronger, we all were going there but Mr. Bte just left] Mismagius [Well let him be, let''s go and check it out our selves] Gengar [Gegege, then let''s go] Gengar said and followed behind the group of Misdreavus, Mismagius, Duskull, and Gastly. Gengar realized that this town looks so simr from the outside to the one in the real world but its 10 timesrger making it a city than a town. Gengar is surprised to see ghost pokemon species he has never seen before, seeing so many species of ghost type pokemon excited him for more adventure of him with Julian in the future. They soon arrived at this area Misdreavus was talking about, there is a huge ck tree in the middle of this area which is releasing an airy aura from it if a human was here he or she would get scared out of their mind after sensing the aura. The coldness around the area was reallyforting to Gengar, he looked around and saw that the pokemons of his group seems to be suppressed by this aura from the tree. Gengar ''Gegege, what could this tree hold for all of them to be suppressed'' Gengar thought and just stood there, he wanted to see what is going to happen now that all these ghost type pokemons are gathered here. As he had heard he noticed the pokemons present here are actually gaining strength but at a very slow pace, it is way slower for Gengar. Julian always feed them food that is very beneficial to them, the secret to this is Julian ces a very tiny amount of omniforce in their food to clear out the impure substance in their bodies, then he makes them work and train harder so they use of the very little amount of Omniforce in their body, Julian didn''t give themrge amount of Omniforce and never let them store it in their body because it might cause an overload that can lead to an outburst of Omniforce from their body, or it may even start to erase their gics which it will find impure in its presence. Julian learned this from the system but he found a way to use Omniforce to strengthen their power when they grow strong enough he starts to give them a little amount of Omniforce and make them train harder as the Omniforce is dispelled from their body due to excessive work it will also clean up their impurities along with it. Infernape is the only pokemon that can handle Omniforce to the full extent because he is also made from the hands of the god, he has already grown way powerful than his friends who started along with him. Now Julian has Crystal who is also an embodiment of Omniforce. ___________________ Gengar stayed still and watched as these pokemons tried to absorb the aura from the surroundings, he tried to find if something is off or not but he found nothing, he wanted to figure out what this tree really is. Seeing he cannot do anything by just standing here, he decided to make a move. Gengar ''Gegege'' Heughed in his mind and blended into the shadowpletely hiding his presence from everyone present here and headed towards the tree. Since he is stronger than any pokemon present here they couldn''t sense him at all as he moved through the shadow and arrived right in front of the tree, he first went around it then touched it and found something very interesting. This tree is not only giving energy but also taking life, from the exchange of power, these pokemons are actually giving away their lifespan without even knowing. Gengar ''Gegege, whoever did this is a bad one and as the master does, I will punish them, gegegege'' Gengar thought and ignited a very bright and hot me and set the bottom of the tree on fire. Gengarughed and went back to the group and stood there once again as he watches the smoke slowly rise. Nobody noticed him moving from his spot, Gengar watched as the fire started to rise and the smell of burning spread through the area, the pokemons present here noticed the tree suddenly caught on fire and panicked. The zing mes started to eat up the tree as the tree slowly started to turn into ash, some pokemons tried to put it off using water moves but the fire had already done the damage, and the tree is very big so the fire has already risen very high and be very hot. "WHO DID THIS" Suddenly a loud and angry scream could be heard all over the city causing all the pokemons present here to get startled. Gengar ''Gegege, I knew they woulde once I destroy their toy'' Gengar grinned as he looked at the burning tree copsing down. Chapter 306 - Gengars Adventure In The Sub-World (3) As Gengar has expected someone was behind this tree, it was just like a vessel to supply the life span of this clueless pokemon to someone else. Soon a huge pokemon arrived in front of all the pokemon present here, it is a big Dusclops. ?? Gengar looked at his Dusclops and shook his head as this Dusclops was too weak to be able to use the tree as a vessel. Gengar ''Gegege, well I can still use him'' Gengar thought and grinned. Mismagius who is beside him snapped out and looked at Gengar grinning at the huge Dusclops, seeing the frown Mismagius frowned. Mismagius [You were behind the burning of the magical tree aren''t you?] She asked in a low voice. Gengar [Gege, indeed I am the one] Gengar answered. Hearing his Mismagius frowned again, she regretted bringing this Gengar into her group. Mismagius [Why did you do this?] Gengar [Cant you tell, that tree was taking away the life span of all the pokemon here and giving you the energy that you all so greedily desired, gegege] Gengar said andughed again. Mismagius was shocked hearing this, she didn''t expect her life span was actually exchanged by the energy that she was taking in, she realized that she had made a big mistake, life span is much more precious than the energy source. Gengar [Gege, now stay quite and let''s see what our friend want''s to do?] Gengar said and looked at the Dusclops. The Dusclops looked around and growled. Dusclops [Who burnt down the tree?] He asked angrily. The pokemons in the area felt the pressure executed from the Dusclops and they felt fear, the Dusclops is very strong and his pressure is enough to scare away the pokemons present here, but he still got no answer from the masses. Dusclops [I will ask onest time, who burnt the tree?] He asked again as the pressure released by him increased. Gengar [Hey Mismagius, tell him you did it] Gengar whispered at Mismagius. Mismagius [Do you think I am an idiot, why would I put myself in death''s way] Gengar [Don''t worry, when you say you did it, I would interfere and say I did it as well] Mismagius [And how will that help?] Gengar [I don''t know, but I am certain that both of us will get captured] Mismagius [Are you out of your mind, why would I want to get captured?] Gengar [Gege, well it''s better to get captured with someone, then captured alone, I will also have somepany, gegegege] Gengar said andughed. Mismagius [You are mad] Gengar [I think I am the only one you can trust, listen to me or that Dusclops might pull up something and it might hurt the little ones here] Gengar said and pointed a the little pokemons, Gastly, Duskull, and Misdreavus, they seem scared at the presence of this Dusclops. Mismagius [Are you sure you can handle this] Gengar [Pretty sure, gegege] Mismagius sighs and stares at Gengar. Mismagius [Ok fine, but if you screw up I will personally kill you] Gengar [Gegegegege] Gengarughed and looked at the Dusclops once again and signaled at Mismagius to speak up. Dusclops looked at arge number of pokemon once again, he is getting furious from the silent treatment he is getting from the mass. Dusclops [I asked who] Mismagius [I did it] Before he could finish he heard Mismagius and turned towards her direction. Dusclops [You did it, thene with me you deserve death for burning the sacred tree] The other pokemons in the group were surprised by this. Misdreavus [Sister what are you doing?] She asked Mismagius with a worried look. Mismagius [Don''t worry I will be alright] She said and started at Dusclops and waited for Gengar to make a move. Dusclops [Come] He said and waved his hand, suddenly Mismagius felt something grabbing her and pulling her away. Gengar [Wait I was the one who burnt it] Gengar suddenly spoke causing Dusclops to stop and look at Gengar. Dusclops [What rubbish is this?] Gengar [Gege,e, idiot, you can clearly see she is innocent, I was the one who did it, I burnt the tree down because it was an eyesore] Gengar said andughed. Hearing his many pokemons in the area gasped but none were surprised, Gengars are known to be fearless and mischievous, some of them even believed him as he is a Gengar. Dusclops [Don''t y around and get lost] Gengar [You are not only an idiot but blind as well I guess, that one eye of yours needs a check-up, gegegege] Gengar said andughed. Dusclops got offended by this, he didn''t know what this Gengar wanted but now that he has chose to offend him, he decided to teach him a lesson. Dusclops [How dare you, you areing as well] Dusclops said and waved his other hand which swept Gengar from the ground and he joined Mismagius, Gengar grinned as the two reunited. Mismagius [What are you up to?] She whispered. Gengar [Just wait and watch, it will be fun, gegegege] Gengar said andughed again. Chapter 307 - Gengars Adventure In The Sub-World (4) The Dusclops soon brought the Gengar and Mismagius towards a weird-looking forest area, few trees in this forest are lit up in a pattern that it makes a way deeper into the forest, lighting up the path. Dusclops seems a little annoyed with Gengar as he looks at the grin on his face, for some reason he felt something was wrong and he has seen this Gengar before. ?? Dusclops [You, have we seen each other before?] The Dusclops asked as he looked at Gengar. Gengar [Me, Gegege, I don''t know you, you might have met some other Gengar] Gengar chuckled and said to Dusclops, Dusclops really felt something was off but he couldn''t tell what. Gengar chuckles once again, which causes the Dusclops to get more tensed up. Dusclops [Shut up and follow me] Gengar [Gegegege] While this happens Mismagius just keeps staring at Gengar, she is really worried but when she looks at Gengar, she sees he is not scared at all and his reaction says that he is enjoying this. Mismagius ''What is up with this guy'' She thinks and quietly follows Dusclops, they soon arrived outside a very creepy mansion, Gengar looks around and sees the whole mansion is filled with powerful Ghost Energy. Gengar [Gege, Where are we?] Gengar asked. Dusclops [Shut up and just follow] Dusclops said and dragged the both of them inside the mansion, as Gengar and Mismagius entered the mansion he saw the statues of few ghost pokemons on it, there is a Gengar, Dusknoir, Mismagius, Sableye, Spiritomb, Fross, Golurk, and in the middle of these statues is the statue of a Marshadow. Behind all these pokemon is another statue and this is of a human, the statue doesn''t have a face but from the outfit the man is wearing, it seems his hood would always cover his face making it not visible. Gengar looked at the nine statues of the pokemon and his eyes sparkled, he had not seen few of the species of pokemon from these statues, he has seen a Mismagius and Dusknoir but never has he seen a Sableye, Spiritomb, Fross, Golurk, and the tiny one Marshadow. Gengar [What are those species of pokemon?] Gengar asked. Mismagius [I know, apart from the three, Gengar, Mismagius and Dusknoir, the rest of them are Sableye, Spiritomb, Fross, Golurk, and the mythical ghost pokemon Marshadow] Mismagius told Gengar, she couldn''t believe how ignorant Gengar is, he didn''t even know about the pokemons of his own typing. Gengar [Gegege, Ignore me, let move ahead] Dusclops didn''t even know that his words were of no value in the group, as Gengar said so they moved forward. Finally, they arrived in a huge room, Gengar looked down and saw weird writing and pattern on the floor and the walls of the Gengar is intrigued by them as he could tell that they are the reason behind the tree that could suck the lifespan of the pokemons that were near the area. Dusclops [Be on your knees as the lord wille and judge you] Gengar [Lord? who is this lord?] Dusclops [You don''t have the right to ask, just wait] He said and floated away, Gengar started to look around and tried to figure out how the life span of these pokemons was being taken away. While he was looking around, Mismagius seemed quite worried, she is now trapped with Gengar for no reason, she really couldn''t believe how bad her luck is. Gengar didn''t get enough time to look around because the Dusclops came back but this time he is with a Dusknoir. Dusknoir [Are they the ones responsible for burning down the sacred tree?] The Dusknoir asked and looked at Gengar who is grinning at him, for a second Dusknoir suddenly had a shback about meeting a Gengar that had chased him for a whole day, scaring him shitlessly. Dusknoir never forgot how terrifying it was when he was chased by that Gengar. Dusknoir ''I still can forget that whenever I see a Gengar I get scared from that experience'' Dusknoir thought and looked at Gengar once again, for some reason this Gengar made him shiver more than the others he has encountered in the past after that horrifying experience he had from that day. Dusknoir [You two, his majesty has asked for you, follow me] The Dusknoir said and brought them to the main room and in this room there and Gengar saw something special, there is a huge throne in the middle of this room and on that throne sits a little pokemon, still a baby, in fact, a Marshadow. On the Marshadow''s right is an old Fross, she looks old and about to die after a few years due to old age, there is also an Aegish on the left of the baby Marshadow. Gengar''s grin goes wider as he found the culprit behind the one who is stealing the life span, its the Fross, she might look old in other''s eyes but not in Gengar''s he could easily see the pulsing validity inside her, she is the one who is taking in all the life span that the tree is sapping from the local ghost pokemons. The little Marshadow looked at Gengar with wide eyes, even though it is young it can tell if a ghost pokemon is special or not, it is an advantage of being a mythical pokemon. Marshadow ''What pure ghost energy, even granny Fross doesn''t have this pure energy'' Marshadow thought. This Marshadow was just born weeks ago so it doesn''t know much, the person who was there when it came to the world is the Fross. Pokemons know never to trust anyone except their parents, because they have a simr aura to them, Fross ispletely different from it, so it never trusted the Fross to the fullest but it is the only one it can rely on. When the Marshadow was born it was crowned the king that instant. It has no clue what is happening as everything is taken care of by the Fross, so the Marshadow could only depend on the Fross for now, and it was the only ghost pokemon it saw that had a very concentrated powerful ghost energy. Now it has seen Gengar and saw how pure his Ghost energy is,pared to Fross it was likeparing mud to pure water. Chapter 308 - Gengars Adventure In The Sub-World (5) Fross [So you are the one who burnt down the sacred tree?] The Fross asked with anger filled her voice, the pressure was released from her which put Mismagius in a tough spot but Gengar was not affected at all, he just stood there with a grin on his face. ?? Fross was surprised by seeing how Gengar was not affected by this at all, she thought that she will be able to scare the two into submission and put them in their death bed and get this over with. Fross [Lord, punish these criminals for burning down the sacred tree, that tree was nted by the master of our first ancestor] Fross said as she wanted to quickly get over this before this Gengar who just made an entrance starts to cause trouble, she knows how troublesome Gengars can be as she used to deal with one in the past. Marshadow looked at Gengar and Mismagius, it didn''t know what to do, as it is still young so it decided to go with what Fross said. Marshadow [The both of you will be pun-] Gengar [GEGEGEGE] Marshadow [Why are youughing?] Gengar [Are you the king?] Marshadow [Yes] Gengar [How old are you?] Marshadow [10 days] Gengar [Gegege, as expected you are just a kid who knows nothing] Gengar said andughed. Aegish [How dare you to talk to his majesty like that, you deserve death] The Aegish on the side roared. Gengar [Shut up, you peace of steel, who are you to talk when your king is talking, gegegege] Gengar said and chuckled. Aegish went quiet as he realized that he had made a mistake by talking before getting permission from Marshadow. Marshadow [What do you mean by that?] Gengar [Don''t you know kid, being a king means you can do whatever you want unless you oppose the whole region and get overthrown, that means you don''t have to listen to that old hag there, from what I see, she is the one in control that you who is the king] Gengar said andughed. Marshadow fell in deep thought and went through what Gengar said, it realized that Gengar is right, it seemed like, it is stuck in this pce because Fross doesn''t let it do anything except sit in this big chair when she wants something done. Fross [Don''t listen to him, your majesty, he is trying to manipte you] Fross panicked and told Marshadow to stop listening to Gengar if she loses her control over Marshadow who she has been able to manipte for these past few days, it will be all over for her. Marshadow [Did Imanded you to speak?] Marshadow asked and looked at Fross. Fross [No, your majesty] Marshadow [Then shut up] Marshadow said and looked at Gengar once again. Gengar chucked as he got what he wanted, he started to make the kid think with his brain. Marshadow [Then tell me what can a king do?] Gengar [Gegege, a king can do anything he wants until he doesn''t bring cmity on themselves by making too many enemies] Marshadow [What happens when a king makes too many enemies?] Gengar [He will get dethroned or even killed by his enemies if he makes a mistake] Marshadow [Then how can a king be a king?] Gengar [By being wise or cunning] Marshadow [How can I do that?] Gengar [Let''s start from here, what is happening right in front of you?] Marshadow [What do you mean?] Gengar [Let''s start by making you a wise king, tell me why am I and Mismagius brought here in front of you?] Marshadow [To get punished because one of you burnt down the sacred tree] Gengar [Indeed, we are here because I burnt down that tree and Mismagius here is just my guest] Fross [Your majesty, look he epted his doings, please punish him] Fross keeps panicking and starts to tell Marshadow what to do again. Marshadow [I order you to not speak a word until I have finished talking to Mr. Gengar here] Marshadowmanded, the Aegish on its left moved towards Forss and stood in front of her so that she won''t defy his lord''s order. Aegishs are known for their utmost loyalty to their lord and master so any word from Marshadow is like a will to him. Fross is really panicking now, she couldn''t believe that she will lose control over her new pawn in such a little time. Marshadow [So you admit to burning down the sacred tree?] Gengar [Yes, but a wise king always listens to both side of the story, don''t you want to know why I burnt down the tree?] Marshadow [Yes, tell me why did you burn down the tree] Gengar [Because it was stealing the life span of pokemon for some greedy to feed on afterward] Marshadow [You are saying that the tree was stealing life force from the pokemon?] Gengar [Of course, why don''t you ask that old hag there, gegegegegege] Gengar said andughed as he stared down Fross with his red crimson eyes. Fross paled and suddenly snapped without thinking, she released a st of frost energy and froze Aegish on the spot and moved quickly and took Marshadow as a hostage. Gengar [Look I told you, you cannot only be wise but cunning as well, now you are taken hostage by your own servant] Mismagius [I didn''t think you said that. You said one has to be either wise or cunning] Gengar [Did I? well it doesn''t matter anyway, the culprit is out of the bag and that old hag is really foolish, I don''t know how she survived for so long?] Gengar said and chuckled as the grin on his face became even wider as he started to enjoy this little game. Aegish broke out of the ice and red at Fross with anger but he couldn''t do anything as his lord is in captive. Marshadow [Fross, what are you doing, let me go, this is an order] Fross [Shut up child, you were just a pawn for me to use to live longer, I have been doing the same for millions of years, staying alive by taking away the life force of many pokemons, I sacrificed many young idiots like you for my purpose to live longer, I thought of using you the same way as I did to your ancestors, use them as a puppet and finally take their life span away after they are sessful breeding with their partner, but now everything is ruined because of that stupid Gengar] Fross spit out her truth without even thinking. Gengar just smiled seeing he had to do nothing at all, living for too long without anyone by her side must have caused her to go insane, that is what Gengar thinks and it is true. Fross is the original pokemon of the first master of the pce, the statue of the Fross in the entrance is actually her. She has been taking lifeforce from other pokemons and kept on living while her friends and partners disappeared with time, leaving her all alone. The reason she is doing so is that she is too afraid to die. Chapter 309 - End Of Gengars Adventure In Sub-World Fross had let go of her sanity and has gone insane, she is backed to the corner but she can still hurt the Marshadow who is herst hope. Marshadow [Tell me Fross what did you do?] ?? Fross [I needed a king''s order to activate the tree so that I can control it to steal the life force to live forever] Fross said and slowly started to back off with Marshadow in her hands. Mismagius [Hey, do something, aren''t you responsible for all this, the Marshadow is a mythical pokemon, it would be a huge loss if it loses its life so young] Mismagius whispered in Gengar''s ears. Gengar [Gegege, let''s wait and see what happens for a little while, the fun has just begun] Gengar said and looked at Fross. Aegish charged towards Fross but suddenly got interrupted by Dusknoir and shed with it, the Dusknoir is one of Fross''s followers and it would do anything to protect her. Gengar just watched this. Marshadow just looked at Fross then started to talk again. Marshadow [So you will sacrifice hundreds of life to stay alive? why?] Fross [Yes, I would, none of their life matters to me, I am a superior being, I have been trained by the greatest ghost trainer in the history of mankind, my life is superior to other, too bad my teammates didn''t share my opinion and disappeared with time, but I stayed strong by feeding on the life force of the others and lived for millions of years] Fross said andughed like a maniac. Gengar took out some popcorn from his dimension and started to eat it while he watched Fross going insane. Mismagius was stunned by seeing Gengar giving no concern to such a serious situation in front of him, and on that he took out popcorn from nowhere and started to eat it as if he is watching some act. Mismagius [You, what are you doing, go and save Marshadow] Mismagius said and snatched away the popcorn form Gengar''s hands. Gengar [Geez, I wonder why women are so serious all the time, luckily master doesn''t have anyone tying him up right now, I now have more respect for master, he was able to be with two women at the same time and still didn''t get bored] Gengar though and floated towards Fross slowly, yawning in the process. Fross saw Gengar approaching her and panicked, for some reason she didn''t feel well when she looked in his crimson red eyes. Fross [Don''te any closer or I will kill Marshadow] She said, but Gengar gave to attention to it, Fross is too scared right now to perform any action, by looking into his eyes she was already doomed. Seeing Fross has frozen Dusclops moved forward and get in between her and Gengar, Gengar looks at the Dusclops and grins. This is the same one that brought them here. Gengar [Gege, what do you want?] Dusclops [you are not allowed to approach herdy Fross] Gengar [You are going to stop me? how? by attacking me?] Dusclops [Indeed] He said and shot a powerful Shadow Ball at Gengar, the Shadow Ball hit Gengar and Gengar screamed in pain. Gengar [GAAAAAAAA] Dusclops [That''s what you get] Gengar [GAAA, Gegegegegege] Gengar stopped screaming and started tough. Dusclops [Why are youughing?] Gengar [Because you attack tickled me?] Dusclops [Then why did you scream?] He asked and backed down as he felt the pressure from Gengar slowly rising. Gengar [I thought it would be fun, gegegege] Gengarughed and the pressure he released started to grow and slowly cover the whole room, soon the pokemons in the room started to feel it. Mismagius was shocked sensing the powerful pressureing from Gengar right now, she didn''t expect this easy-going, overconfident Gengar with no sense of danger or guilt of consequence is so strong. Same could be said for the other pokemons in the room as well, they were also startled, soon all of them started to suffocate under Gengar''s pressure, except Mismagius and Marshadow. Dusknoir suddenly realized who this Gengar is. Dusknoir [He is the one] He said and ran away from the room scared shitlessly, he couldn''t believe the monster that chased him for hours in the past, the same one that made him have nightmares even though he is a ghost type pokemon, the same Gengar is here. Dusknoir is terrified and abandons everything and runs away, seeing her only useful follower run away so she lost hope, and she has beenpletely immobilized by now, she can''t even move because of Gengar. She has never felt such powerful and pure ghost energy before, not even from one of her old Friends the Marshadow that was the strongest in their group. Gengar [Gegegegegege, looks like the fun is over, Little king tell me what should I do with this old hag] Gengar said andughed. Marshadow escaped from Fross''s grasp and looked at her. Marshadow [I don''t know what to do, I don''t want to be a king, I want to get out of here and see the outer world] Gengar [Gegegege, then she is of no use to you, gegege] Gengarughs and looked coldly at Fross, Fross suddenly feels fear like never before, suddenly ck chainse out from the shadows and ties her up, the chains are filled with Ghost energy, the chains then starts to drag Fross into the shadows, she tries to struggle but cannot escape. Fross soon disappears from the sight of everyone in the room. The Dusclops who is forgotten by everyone (even the author) is finally able to stand as the pressure goes away, he looks at Gengar petrified and doesn''t know what to do. Gengar [What are you looking at idiot?] Gengar said and chucked, the Dusclops snapped back to reality and made a run for his life, seeing how the Dusclops who was acting all high and mighty before running like a scared dog made Gengarugh again. Marshadow [Mr. Gengar where is Fross] Gengar [Don''t worry little king, oh wait, you don''t want to be a king so you are no king, you are just a little kid, anyways she is in a very good ce don''t worry?] Marshadow [Isn''t she bad, why is she in a very good ce?] Gengar [Oh, I forgot you are still a kid, you don''t understand sarcasm, anyways you will learn soon when you get out of this sub-dimension and get into the real world] Gengar said. Marshadow [This is not the real world?] Gengar [Gege, of course not, this is just a sub-world created by those ancestors of yours I think, who knows who created this one and nobody cares if you don''t want to be king you can do anything else] Gengar said and turned around to leave. Chapter 310 - Causal Conversation Marshadow [I also want to be as strong as you] Gengar [Then you have to find a good trainer who will train you to the limit] ?? Marshadow [Were you also trained by a trainer?] Gengar [Of course, the best there is] Marshadow [Can he train me as well?] Gengar [Toote, my master has already found enough little ones to train, I don''t think he will take in more children, the ones already are troublesome, you have to wait for few more months, when my master is done with training the new lots he will start another journey and then train new batch of children again] Gengar said and chuckled, Marshadow just looked at Gengar and said nothing. Gengar turned away and went towards Mismagius. Gengar [Let''s go our work is done here, gegege] Gengar said and floated away, Mismagius snapped out of her trance and followed Gengar silently, they soon arrived at the ce where they were taken away, as they reached there they saw the little ones who they came here with are still here waiting for them here. Misdreavus [Sis, are you ok?] Mismagius [Yes, I am fine nothing happened] Gastly [Mr. Gengar where did they take you?] Gengar [To the royal pce to have some fun, nothing else] Misdreavus [Is it true?] She asked as she looked at Mismagius, Mismagius looked at the grin on Gengar''s face and said nothing. Mismagius [Yes, we were brought to the royal pce to have some fun] Gengar [Gegege, ok now I have to leave, my master should be waiting for me] Gengar said and floated away leaving the group behind, Mismagius just watched Gengar disappear from her sight, in her entire life she had never seen someone like this Gengar before, now he has left a mark in her life. Gengar soon arrived at the exact same ce he arrived at this sub-world, he looked around and started to manipte the dimension gate in this ce, and as he expected the gate opened up. He walked through the gate and disappeared. ____________________ Near the carved rock, Julian has already made all the preparation, it has only been an hour since Julian has set up the camp here, while Gengar has already experienced half a day inside the sub-world. Julian suddenly notices the change of aura in the environment along with his older pokemons, Julian''s turn around and sees the carvings on the rock glow up, Julian looked carefully at it and felt Gengar''s aura approaching near. Julian "Looks like he ising, ok everyone its time to eat then sleep, tomorrow, every one of you will be waking up early for some hard training" Julian said and started to prepare food for the little ones as they have to sleep early. As Julian did so, a void opened and Gengar flew out of it and came in and saw Julian and his friends and the little ones all looking at him. Gengar "Gegegege" Gengarughed and went into Julian''s shadow. Julian continued with his work and fed his pokemon before putting them to sleep, once the little ones are asleep he sat down and looked at the night sky. Julian "So what was this world you were into?" Julian asked. Gengar [It was some kind of dimension world made from ghost energy, there were a lot of ghost pokemon there] Julian "Did you cause any trouble?" Gengar [Just a little, gegege] Julian "So how was this world like?" Gengar [I saw many pokemons I have never seen before, there was this little pokemon called Marshadow, they said it is a mythical pokemon] Julian "Oh you saw a Marshadow?" Gengar [Yes, it was still young, and about this world, I feel like it was made by someone or something stronger than me] Julian "Well there are still many things we don''t know, you can just continue training how you do and grow stronger, once youe over the bottleneck you may grow stronger but you will face it, again and again, so we have to train our ass off to reach the limit" Gengar [Gegege, sounds like fun] Julian "Haha, it is, not everyone is like Infernape and Snox, just sit down and grow powerful" Gengar [Gegege, indeed, I have to master my dimension faster them] Julian "That you have to do if you want to keep up with them" Gengar [Gegege, not to worry because I have found a pawn to use] Julian "Who is this pawn?" Gengar [Gegege, a Fross, it has been alive for millions of years feeding on countless life forces of others, she should be a great candidate to work on] Julian "You said a pokemon lived for millions of years by stealing the life force of other pokemons?" Gengar [Yes, there was an alter down there that helped her take away the life force of pokemon by giving them boost in energy] Julian "Interesting, you can go and continue your training" Julian said and let Gengar go. What he heard from Gengar made Julian think about one particr legendary pokemon, Yuveltal the pokemon that brings death to everything, but one thing didn''t match up was that Yuveltal is a dark type while the world Gengar visited was created by a ghost type pokemon by what Gengar said. Julian "There are still mysteries to this world that cannot be exined, I have to look into this further to see what really is going on" Julian says and decides to go to sleep as well as it is gettingte. Chapter 311 - Reaching Veilstone Next morning is the same as usual, Julian woke up early and started to train the little ones, he could see sighs of evolution in Gible, he should evolve after few bouts. This time Julian is not worried about premature evolution in Gible because he has already learned what he needs to do, the advantage and disadvantage of being a pseudo legendary pokemons is that the evolution process is always slow, with all this time he had he easily mastered what he needed to so he can evolve whenever he wants. ?? When ites to started pokemons, they do face the problem of premature evolution because they evolve faster, that is why young trainers are given these starter pokemons, these starter pokemons be powerful very fast but they stillck foundation. While Pseudo legendaries have all the time to power up and wait for their evolution to take ce. Julian had noticed these when he didn''t even start his journey, while he was still researching something, he didn''t let his Bulbasaur evolve prematurely, he made him train harder and until he reached his limit, that is when Julian let Bulbasaur evolve. But holding back an evolution can also have some side effects if an evolution stage passes, evolving will be a lot harder and it will be stuck in its base form for quite a long time until another fortunate encounter urs. This same happens to other pokemon as well, such as Julian''s Gardevoir, she could have evolved prematurely but she held it back and was able topletely master her energy and finally evolving into a Kirlia. Julian doesn''t have to worry about Cranidos''s premature evolving because he is still far behind Gible, he only has two-stage evolution so his evolution is a little slow. The only one who can evolve prematurely in Julian''s team is Shinx but Julian has already looked into this, he decided to call in Electivire so that he can give Shinx some pointers on controlling electric power. After the little ones are finished with their training, its time for Julian to continue moving, his next stop is Veilstone city, he packed his stuff and got on his bike and rode off. A few days of traveling and he will be in Veilstone city, the city has the fighting type gym that Julian ns to challenge it, but it also has something that might cause trouble to him in future, one of Cyrus''s mainpany is established there. It can possibly be a Team Gctic headquarters, and upon that Julian also has to find this evil organization who worship Giratina. ________________ After traveling for a few days he finally arrived at the outer area of Veilstone City, Julian could see the huge sea on the north side, if he wants he can go to the Stark mountains after finishing his business in Veilstone city in search for this mysterious cave. Julian ''Let''s not think about it now, the thing is should concentrate on is challenging the gym and enjoy my time'' Julian thought and rode off towards the city, he wore his cloth mask before getting into the city, as he got into the city he saw people and pokemon gathered around in a circle, Julian got curious and stopped his bike and walked towards the crowd and tried to watch what is happening. As he went forward he saw Paul battling with some random trainer. Julian ''Of all the people, it is this little runt'' Julian thought and ignored the crowd and walked away, Julian has no interest in involving himself with kids right now, Julian currently is heading towards the pokemon center. He got in his bike and rode towards the pokemon center, once he arrived there, he gave his tiny pokemons to nurse joy for a quick checkup and walked towards a monitor screen on the side. He called Professor Oak, the screen turned on and Julian saw Professor Oak being pushed to the side by his Electivire. Julianughed seeing this. Julian "How are you doing Electivire?" Julian asked. Electivire nodded happily saying that he is doing fine. Julian "Ok, move to the side I want to talk to Professor Oak" Julian said and made Electivire move away from the screen, Professor Oak came back on the screen and whipped out his sweat andughed awkwardly while looking at the screen. Julian "I hope you aren''t having a hard time taking care of them?" Julian asked, he knows how troublesome his pokemons can be but they are also very disciplined so he knows they won''t cause many problems. Oak "Not at all, with them around there are no fights between pokemons thate to the pokemon area, it has been very peaceful" Julian "It''s good to hear that, so can you send Electivire now" Julian asked. Oak "Of course, Electiviree here" Professor Oak said and called Electivire back to his Pokeball and ced it on the transfer machine, the ball soon appeared right in front of the transfer machine that is right next to Julian. Julian picks up the ball and smiles. Julian "Look Gengar your friend is here" Julian said. Gengar''s eyes surfaced in Julian''s shadow and he giggled. A kid who was very close to Julian saw Gengar''s eyes and got scared so he started to cry, seeing this Gengar went back into his dimension. Kids that cried always caused Gengar to have a traumatizing experience, so whenever he sees a crying kid hepletely hides away from them. Julian chuckles and waits for nurse joy to bring back his pokeballs. Chapter 312 - Electivire Returns After getting back his pokemons from nurse Joy, he got out of the pokemon center and headed towards a hotel to get a room. After getting a room lied down on the soft bed and sighed in relief. ?? Even though he liked camping a lot, sleeping on a soft bed was always a good feeling, he didn''t even realize that he slept for a whole day. When he woke up he realized that it is already the next day. Julian "I slept well" He said and got up, today is a training day for Shinx, he wants to use Shinx in the uing gym battle with Cranidos, Shinx needs an official battle to get his footing, so Julian ns to use Cranidos and Shinx for this battle. After getting ready and having his breakfast, Julian decides to get out of the city to train his pokemons, and he did so, he got out of the hotel and headed towards the outskirts of the city to train. After reaching the desired spot, finding the perfect ce to train his pokemon Julian put up a small camp there and brought out his pokemons, the little ones came out and soon started to get over each other and y. Julian then took out Electivire''s Pokeball and tossed it up in the air, the little ones looked up and saw a huge pokemone out of the Pokeball, Electivirended on his feet. Electricity ran all over his body charging up the environment with sparks, the little ones are startled as they have never seen Electivire before, they ran and hid behind Infernape seeing this huge scary yellow pokemon except Gible, while others ran away Gible went and charged at Electivire and smashed his head on Electivire''s leg. Electivire felt a thud on his leg and looked down at the fearless little ck Gible who is staring at him with no fear, Julian shook his head seeing this then looked at his other pokemons who are hiding behind Infernape Julian "Don''t worry, he is my pokemon, Electivire" Julian said and called the little ones, Electivire bent down to take a look at the little ones, the little ones moved forward to greet Electivire. They have never seen a pokemon with so much power before, in fact, the little ones never experienced the real power behind Infernape and Gengar, they always suppress their aura so they don''t scare the little one. Electivire had no idea about this so when he came out he didn''t suppress his aura so he startled the little ones. Julian "Electivire suppress your aura, they cannot handle it right now" Julian said and Electivire nodded. Feeling the aura goes away the little ones felt relief and they were finally able to look carefully at Electivire, they found out that Electivire is one of Julian''s first batch along with Infernape and Gengar, they realized that how much of a pressure they are really in, they have never seen Infernape and Gengar at extreme, Electivire''s aura is enough to suffocate them. And they also heard that Electivire is not the strongest of the bunch as well, there is still Heatran, Gyarados and Venusaur that are monsters among monsters they have never met. They realized how lucky they really are that Julian chose them as his pokemons, while all the little ones are a little worried about getting to Electivire''s level, Gible is the only one who doesn''t care, he has been dashing into Electivire and smashing him on his leg. Even Electivire is surprised by how gutsy the little one is. Julian "Shinx" Julian calls Shinx, Shinx turns around and runs towards Julian. Julian "For a few days, you will be training under Electivire, so always listen to him carefully" Hearing this Shinx nods happily. Julian "Electivire don''t go rough on him, he is still young, let him learn how to properly control his power" Electivire nods and looks at the little Shinx. Shinx is the second Electric type pokemon in Julian''s collection so being the senior Electivire wants to take responsibility, even though Electivire is very proud of his species and would do anything to see one win in a battle, but when ites to Julian it''s different. Since Shinx is Julian''s pokemon, his priority is higher than anything in Electivire''s books. Electivire doesn''t waste his time and starts to train Shinx with the basics from the very beginning, even though Julian has covered them Shinx doesn''t mind going through it once again and perfect them. While Electivire is training Shinx, Julian trains Cranidos and Gible, they are his second and third choice of the gym battle, but he concentrates on Cranidos more because he needs a little more polishing than Gible. Julian is very lucky because he found the perfect Gible, Julian knows Gible will be his ace in Sinnoh, Gible is like a little prodigy, he can absorb anything Julian throws at him. Seeing this Julian decided to make Gible learn to control of power and energy instead of leveling him up. The training begins for everyone and all of his pokemons are busy with their own work. As Julian continued training he realized someone is approaching towards his direction, he lifted his head up and looked straight at the visitor. And to his surprise, it is none other than Paul. Chapter 313 - Electivire The First Pokemon Trainer Julian looks at Paul and goes back to training Cranidos, he doesn''t want anything to do with this kid for now. Paul stands there and watches Julian train his pokemon, he wanted to see how the most powerful champion trains his pokemon, most of it goes right of Paul''s head as he didn''t understand how Julian is training his pokemon but he could clearly see how fast his pokemons are improving. ?? He then decides to go and confront Julian and ask him for a pokemon battle. Julian "Now Cranidos, use Zen Headbutt once again" Julianmands Cranidos to perform another Zen Headbutt, he is teaching Cranidos on how to focus all his energy in one part of the body for more damage. He noticed Paul walking towards him, so he stopped and looked at Paul. "What is it, kid?" Julian asked. "I want to have a pokemon battle with you" Paul asked. Julian saw that Paul really wanted to battle him. "No" Julian said and turned towards Cranidos. "Why?" Paul asked in frustration, his challenge was excepted by Cynthia so he though Julian will also agree. "Because I don''t want to" Julian said. "But you had a battle with that useless Ash" Paul said in frustration. "That useless Ash fought me in the finals of the Every Grande conference, and if you are to fight his old team you won''t stand a chance of winning against him" Julian said. Paul got very frustrated, but he thought about what Julian said, if Ash really had his old pokemons with him he will be able to sweep through the whole league. "You can go and train harder if you are lucky you will face me in the Sinnoh league, just like Ash did" Julian said. Paul didn''t know what to do now. Electivire who is on the side was watching this when a thought struck him and heughed, he walked towards Julian. Julian noticed Electivire walking towards him and turned towards his direction. Electivire "Eleleletivivire" Electivire said something which wentpletely above Paul''s head but Julian understood what he was saying. Julian, is surprised by what Electivire said. Julian "Are you sure?" Julian asked. Electivire nodded his head. Julian chuckled and turned towards Paul and smiled at him. "You might get a chance to battle me if you can defeat my Electivire" Julian said. "How is that even possible, your Electivire is clearly at Champion rank" Paul burst out. "Oh, you got me wrong, you won''t be battling with Electivire with your pokemons against him, you will be battling my pokemons with Electivire taking over my ce as the trainer" Julian said and smiled. "What?" Paul was stunned by this, Julian''s Electivire wants to act as a trainer. "If you defeat Electivire then you got yourself a pokemon battle against me" Julian said and smiled. Paul turned and looked at the huge Electivire who has a grin on his face, Electivire lifts his hands and signals Paul to challenge him with arrogance in his face. Paul could see the mocking re in Electivire''s eyes for him, this ticked off Paul and decided to go with it. "Ok, I ept the challenge, If I win you have to battle me next" Paul said to Julian. "Of course, I never go back on my words" Julian said and chucked. Electivire turned towards Shinx and called him, he wants Shinx to be his partner in this battle. Julian "I will be the referee, this will be a one on one battle" Julian said and took his position, his pokemons went along with him and stood behind him to watch this, Gengar also came out of the shadow to watch this. One of them is now going to have a battle as a trainer for the first time and its a huge deal. Julian is trying very hard to hold back hisughter, Electivire really pulled this one out of nowhere, and it would be funnier if he wins. Well, Julian is certain he will because he has on-field battle experience and being a pokemon, he can easilymunicate with Shinx. Julian "Electivire had decided to go with Shinx, Paul choose your pokemon" Julian said and waited for Paul to send out his pokemon for this battle. Paul looked at Electivire and Shinx. Paul "Electabuzz, you are up" Paul sent his Electabuzz for this battle. Seeing the tiny Electabuzz, Electivire is conflicted but that won''t cause him to lose focus. Electivire [Little Shinx you got this] Electivire said and Shinx nodded. The battle is about to start, both sides are ready and they are waiting for Julian''s signal. Julian "Are both of you ready?" He asked, seeing both parties are ready he smiled and gave the signal. Julian "Then, let the battle begin" And with the wave of his hand, the battle started. Paul "Electabuzz Brick Break" Electabuzz charged towards Shinx as fast as possible tond a Hammer Arm, while it is fast Shinx is still a lot faster. Electivire [Shinx dodge and then use Bite] With Electivire''smand, Shinx easily moved away from the iing Brick Break and came right behind Electabuzz andnded a Bite, causing a small explosion and making Electabuzz lose its bnce and fall down. It is damaged only a little but the pressure in on for Paul, he didn''t expect a pokemon tomand another one. Chapter 314 - Electivire Vs Paul Electivireughed as he saw Paul be serious for once, Electivire likes arrogant people because at the end of the day there is no one more arrogant than him, he loves to put down arrogant people with his own arrogance. Seeing Electivireugh at him Paul gets frustrated, that grin on Electivire''s face really makes him mad, he even wondered if his Electabuzz would be like this. ?? Paul ''There is no time to think about this, I have to defeat that Shinx and Electivire'' Paul thought and tried to figure out his opponent, he didn''t have a ground or rock type pokemon on him right now so he had to use Electabuzz but Electabuzz is a little slowpared to its opponent. Paul "Electabuzz use Quick Attack" With Quick Attack, Electabuzz moved a little faster and was able to get very close to Shinx and about hit him but Electivire is waiting for this. Electivire [Shinx now between his legs and Thunder Fang on his ankle] Shinx saw the wide gap between Electabuzz''s legs and went through itpletely startling Electabuzz, then he turned around and bit down hard on Electabuzz''s ankle with Thunder Fang, even though Electabuzz is an electric type pokemon and won''t be damaged by Thunder Fang a lot, Electivire is nning somethingpletely different, he wants to weaken the ankle of Electabuzz until it gets hard for it to move. Electivire was once an Electabuzz, he knows that Electabuzz has to rely on their legs to carry their huge body if one of them is injured, Electabuzz wille down. Julian realized what Electivire was thinking and smiled, even though it''s not Julian''s style to only attack one spot and weaken it, he is impressed by Electivire''s cunning ways, this will be a very good battle as Paul also has the same fighting style, he continuously tries to aim at one spot to weaken it. Julian wants to see how Paul will react to being treated the same way he treats others in a pokemon battle. Electabuzzes to its knee as it feels the numbness on its ankle. Paul "Electabuzz get up and use low kick" Paulmanded. Electabuzz ignored the numbness and turned around to hit Shinx with a low kick. Electivire [Jump up and use Bite] Shinx once again did as Electivire told and jumped up dodging the swiping kick from Electabuzz and used Bite, the jaw made from dark energy snapped shut on Electabuzz''s face and caused a small explosion causing Electabuzz to move back and close its eyes. Electivire [Now once again Thunder Fang on the same ankle] Electivire gave anothermand. Paul has another problem in this battle and that is he cannot tell what move Electivire ismanding so that he can counter. Shinx swiftly appears behind Electabuzz as it still rubbing its face from the pain and bites down with another Thunder Fang, once again an electric charge goes through Electabuzz''s body but it doesn''t cause much damage except the increasing numbness on its ankle. Electivire [Back down and wait] Electiviremands and grins, he then looks at Paul and signals him to make the next move, seeing this Paul gets frustrated, he didn''t expect to get humiliated by a pokemon. Unlike Julian, Electivire likes to toy with his opponent, just like Gengar Electivire has adapted to Julian''s cruel side, while Infernape to his positive side and Gyarados to Julian''s pride, every pokemon of Julian is influenced by Julian in one way or the other. Julian just watches this battle and says nothing, he will notin about anything because he has also yed this game of toying with opponents who he doesn''t like. Paul "Electabuzz, Thunder Punch" Electabuzz gets back to its feet and charges towards Shinx, seeing Paul act impulsively Electivire grins. Electivire [Wait for it to get close then use Fake Tears] Electiviremands. Shinx stands his ground and waits for Electabuzz to get close and once Electabuzz is close to striking distance, Shinx lowers his head and pretends to get scared and tearse out of his eyes. Seeing this Electabuzz suddenly gets startled and stops, suddenly a dark aura surrounds Electabuzz suddenly lowering his Special Defense by two stages. Fake Tears is a powerful status type move if a pokemon falls for it its special defense goes down by two stages. Electivire [Now Thunder Shock] Shinx get back to his feet and the usual look on his face returns and he sts a powerful lightning strike at Electabuzz, with Electivire''s training Shinx, has already mastered how to control his powers, Julian had alreadyid up a great foundation, Electivire just had to show how to channel it properly, so Shinx mastered it. Even though Electabuzz is resistant to electric type attacks, with its special defense lowered by two stages, the ThunderBolt caused a lot of damage. Electabuzz gets zapped hard this time and falls on the ground, the numbness on its ankle res with because of the stored electricity by thest two Thunder Fangs from before. Seeing Electabuzz go down Paul is shocked. Electivire [Well done little Shinx] Electivire praises Shinx, Shinx nods happily and hops happily, suddenly he starts to glow and increase in size. Julian ''As expected even he was close to evolving, after mastering how to control his powers, he was able to trigger this evolution from thatst ThunderBolt'' Shinx starts to evolve and grows bigger, he grows a mane, his legs be longer and thicker, his ws get sharper and longer as well. The glow fades away and Luxio is seen by everyone, Shinx evolved into Luxio. Julian smiles and nods. Electivire [Little Luxio, hahaha, now our opponent doesn''t even have the chance to win this battle in his dreams] Electivireughs and looks at Paul and taunts him once again. Paul is getting more frustrated, he didn''t expect to fall in such a dire state. Paul ''I only have one shot now to win this battle'' Paul thinks and looks at the colossal opponent in front of him. Chapter 315 - First Victory As A Trainer Paul has to make a move, now that Shinx has evolved into Luxio, his chances of winning are even lower than before. Paul "Electabuzz get up and battle don''t be a dead weight and drag down the battle" ?? Paul said. Electabuzz got back to its feet, even though it hurts it still got back up. Julian ''That Electabuzz really got a heart, reminds me of the time Electivire was still an Electabuzz'' Julian thought and continued looking at the battle. While the battle was going on Gengar, on the other hand, is now cing bets on the fight, the bet is not on who will win but how much longer with Paulst. The little ones are not allowed in this because they have nothing of interest on them, while Infernape, Absol, Tyranitar, and Snox do, they are betting on their food, the one who predicts the closest time will win two extra shares of food while the loser will have to lose their share for today, the rest will go to Gengar as he is the organizer. Julian wanted to facepalm himself seeing Gengar pull of this bet, the little ones are mad because they were included in the game, but they soon got over it and continued watching the battle. Electivire looks at the Electabuzz and shakes his head. Paul "Electabuzz, use ThunderBolt" Knowing that his Electabuzz cannot move around due to the injured leg, Paul decides to go with Electabuzz''s Special Attacks, too bad his Electabuzz''s Special attacks are mediocrepared to its Physical Attacks. The strike of Lightning shed fast and hit Luxio but he resisted it due to his typing. Electivire [Haha, Luxio, use Eerie Impulse] Electiviremanded. Luxio then stood his ground and released a wave of shock impulses in the surrounding, Electabuzz couldn''t dodge this as it is a wide area attack, Electabuzz gets hit by the attack but nothing happens, instead, his Special Attack gets lowered by two stages stage. Now Electabuzz''s electric type special attacks will be useless as they won''t even damage Luxio now. Paul never felt this helpless during a pokemon battle, he cannot find a way to counter and on top of that, his Electabuzz is suffering from ankle pain if this continues his Electabuzz will go down. Julian "You know you can always give up, your pokemon''s health is more important than winning" Julian said. Paul looked at Julian but shook his head. Paul "No, Electabuzz is no weakling, he will fight till the end" Paul answers and continues to focus on the battle, seeing this Julian sighs. Electivire [Little Luxio, let''s get this over with] Paul "Electabuzz use Brick Break" Paul doesn''t want to waste time anymore since his Special Attacks won''t work and Luxio''s resistance to electric type moves, he has no choice to go with the other moves in Electabuzz''s arsenal. Electabuzz rushes towards Luxio while using Brick Break. Electivire [Luxio use your ws on its ankle] Luxio now can generate powerful high voltage electricity in his ws, these ws are deadly and a touch from them can cause a lot of damage, luckily they are always inside its paws or it would shock anyone that touches it. Seeing the slow Electabuzz charging towards him Luxio charges towards it and brings out his ws, his ws are covered with high voltage electricity, Luxio moves and connect his w to the ankle once again. This causes a powerful surge of electricity to go through Electabuzz''s body and it goes down on the ground. Paul "Electabuzz get up" Paul orders. Electabuzz tried to get up and is sessful till it is able to lift only half of its body of the ground and then copse on the ground again, this time it faints, with no energy left in its body it was meant to happen. Julian "Electabuzz is unable to battle, Luxio wins" Julian deres the result. Paul just looks at his Electabuzz who is on the ground and clutches his fist, he really felt frustrated by today''s battle, he was forced from one situation to other, he didn''t even get a chance to counter, all his effective moves were taken away alone with his Electabuzz''s movement, his Electabuzz had never suffered such a shameful loss, it was like a struggling fish out of its water in today''s battle from start to end. Julian "You lost, you still have a lot to learn before you go and challenge someone who is above your level, I have seen you look down on many trainers and gym leaders you have battled with, but I will tell you one harsh truth, you can neverpare yourself to them, a gym leader would never use his ace pokemon to battle a challenger or no challenger would stand a chance of winning. You need to expand and learn before you take the next step, your performance was below average today, you couldn''t counter any of Luxio''s move, you were sloppy calling out moves, you were too focused on your opponent then concentrating on your own. Next time you challenge someone thinks about the possibility and the oue of the battle before you do so, and never look down on anyone" Julian said his bidding and it was all up to Paul on how he changes his battling ways. Julian "You should take Electabuzz to the pokemon center and let it rest for a few days, so it can get back to perfect state once again" Julian said and turned around, he saw Gengar was celebrating while Absol, Tyranitar, and Infernape looked disappointed whereas Snox looked very happy as well. Julian ''Looks like Snox won that bet'' Julian smiled and turned back to Paul, he saw Paul call back Electabuzz back to its Pokeball and he walked away. Julian didn''t say anything, Paul is just a 10-year-old kid, who is delusional, he still has a lot to learn, just like Ash. Chapter 316 - Riolu Since Paul walked away the scene went back to normal, the little ones surrounded Luxio and looked at him with big sparkling eyes, one of their friends has evolved so it''s very exciting for them, Gible gets a little pissed because he was supposed to evolve first but it looks like Luxio got a little lucky. Snox is the happiest among all of his pokemon right now because he won the bet and will get two times the food today. ?? Gengar being the sneaky one had scored a huge deal as well. Julian looked at Luxio and smiled. Julian ''System, disy Luxio''s current stats'' System ''Affirmative'' _____________________ Luxio Type - Electric Level - 20 Bond - 75% HP - 80 Attack - 115 Defense - 60 Sp. Atk - 70 Sp. Def - 55 Speed - 100 Move set - Leer, Tackle, Fake Tears, Charge, Spark, Bite, Thunder Fang, ThunderBolt, Eerie Impulse. Ability - Rivalry, Guts. ______________________ Seeing Luxio has improved a lot Julian nods and continues the training, after a hard training session the little ones are tired and they get to eat what they are given, except Victini as it had won the monthlypetition. After his pokemons had their share of food Julian decided to go back to the city and call it a day, his pokemons now need some rest to rx their muscles. Once he got to the city he decided to take his pokemon to the pokemon spa that is present in this city. When he arrived in front of the pokemon spa, he realized that there is also a massage center inside. Julian "I should check it out" He said and walked into the spa, once he got in he gave his Pokeball to the workers of the pokemon spa, he then told Gengar to have a close watch on the little ones so that they don''t get into trouble. He then went to the massage center to get himself a massage as well. When he walked in he had to reveal his identity and as he did so the workers there were stunned but they quickly collected themselves and got back to their work. Since Julian himself was here in their massage parlor, they had to call in their best massager, one of the workers guided Julian to the massage room, Julian stripped and put on a towel and waited for the massager to arrive. Soon a beautiful middle-aged woman walked in with some essential oil bottles in her hand, next to her is a Riolu who had a towel in its hand. Julian lifted his head and looked at them and nodded, the woman nodded as well, the Riolu on her side kept staring at Julian. Seeing the Riolu the middle-aged woman smiled, Julian also looked at the Riolu and smiled at it as well, the Riolu seems to get shy and hid behind the massager. Massager "Don''t mind her Mr. Julian she is just a little shy" Julian "I don''t mind, this little one has quite a potential, her trainer must be lucky" Julian said and closed his eyes and let the massager do her job. What he didn''t notice is the sadness in Riolu''s eyes when he said that, the massager also got sad but didn''t say anything, she started to do her job and Riolu assisting her when more force was needed. Julian felt great once the massage was over, he opened his eyes and saw something was off, the Riolu seemed sad for some reason. Julian looked at the massager and noticed her mood was also off. Julian "Did I say something wrong?" Julian asked. Massager "No its nothing, little Riolu here was my daughter''s pokemon, sadly she passed away due to illness, she and Riolu are huge fan of yours and would watch all your battles repeatedly on TV, she would always say that one day she will meet you and ask you to train with her and would one day be a champion like you." The massager got emotional and so did Riolu, Julian felt bad for jogging up these memories. Julian "I am sorry, I didn''t mean to" The massager wiped up her tears and smiled at Julian. Massager "No it''s ok, I am happy that half of my daughter''s dreame true, little Riolu got a chance to meet you, I believe that my daughter would have no regrets" She said. Julian nodded and looked at Riolu who is hiding behind the massager, he smiled and signaled the Riolu toe over. Riolu peaked from the side and looked at Julian, she then stepped out and walked towards Julian, Julian picked her up and patted her head. Julian "You are very healthy, your trainer must have taken really good care of you" Julian said. Riolu nodded her head and stayed quite, Julian looked at the massager and saw that she was genuinely happy, he then once again looked at Riolu. Julian "I have a request" Julian said. The massager was surprised by this, why would the Julian need any help from her. Julian "I want to train this little one as one of my own pokemon" Julian said. He genuinely felt sad for Riolu and the massager, it was because of him that they were reminded of the tragedy of their loved one past away, and there is one more reason, he needs a steel type pokemon in his team, if he can train Riolu he would have another good pokemon in his team once she evolves and the fighting type also made a great addition to his team. Hearing Julian the massager was surprised, she knew how good of an offer this is for Riolu, being trained by Julian means she will be very powerful, but separating with her would be difficult for her. Riolu is also surprised, she who looked up to Julian and his pokemons, now the same Julian wants to train her, she didn''t know what to do. Julian "I think I stepped my boundaries, Riolu must be the only connection you have with your daughter, sorry for my selfish request" Massager "No I do not mind, but I think Riolu and I will need some time to discuss over your offer" Julian "I understand" Julian said and nodded. The massager took out a card and gave it to Julian. Massager "I hope you wille to our house tomorrow and offer a praying to my daughter, and by that time I and Riolu will be able to decide on your offer" The massager said and looked at Riolu. Massager "Riolu let''s go" She said and signaled Riolu to follow her, Riolu did saw and chased behind her but Riolu took onest look at Julian. Julian smiled at her. Riolu walked away and Julian sighed. Julian "I should have not asked her that, I am stupid" Julian said and put his clothes back on. Chapter 317 - Visiting Riolu Julian walked out after taking a soak in a warm bath, after getting refreshed, he went towards the pokemon spa area where his pokemon are rxing when Julian arrived there he saw his pokemons were rxed and enjoying their time here. The best workers were assigned to them because they knew they are Julian''s pokemon, seeing Julian arrive they all stopped and looked at him, this is their first time seeing him in person and they were stunned. ?? Seeing Julian arrive the little ones rushed towards him, they were not used to being apart for Julian for a long time, this was their first so seeing him made them very happy again. Julian "Ok we have to go now" Julian said and called back his pokemon into their Pokeball and left the spa center, Julian is still thinking about the thing that happened a few minutes ago, the Riolu he met was really a perfect pokemon for his team when she evolves he will be able to cover both Fighting and Steel typing. And he has not captured a Fighting-type pokemon at all, Infernape was given to him and he is the only Fighting-type pokemon he has right now and he is inactive in battles. Julian looked at the card that the massager gave to him, it had a number and address, the massager seems to also have a small massage house of her own in her house, but shees here sometimes if any celebrity or rich peoplee to rx. Julian ''I should go there tomorrow, give them some time to think about it'' Julian could tell the Riolu was thinking abouting with him, she shared a dream with her trainer to be champions one day. He sighed and went back to the hotel room, today is no training day, the little ones can enjoy today off and y around with each other. The day went fine and Julian had nothing else to do except watch his pokemon y around, he called Daisy and Chloe and video chat with them the whole day. The day ended and Julian went to sleep ___________________ Next day he woke up prettyte, he was awake with 2 AMst night talking with Chloe and Daisy, they have been living together in an apartment that Chloe''s new agency gave them, they had a lot to talk about that is why Julian was awake all night. He yawned and stretched his arms and took a quick bath, as he got out he saw the car that was given to him yesterday by the massager on the side of the table. Julian ''I should go there I guess, she did invite me'' Julian thought and put on his clothes, Crystal who is sleeping on the small fruit basket woke up and went into Julian''s front pocket as it saw Julian getting ready. Julian "You were waiting for me to dress up huh?" Julian smiled and rubbed Crystal''s head with his finger, Crystal purred happily while its eyes closed. Julian then got out of the hotel and headed towards the address that was written down on the card the massager had given to him. After getting onto his bike he rode off, after asking around he finally arrived at the exact address, he was surprised to see the surroundings, he thought it would be like any other house in the city but this was different, this house is on the edge of the city, the house is in middle of the greennd and the backyard is very big. It looks more like a house in the middle of a grassy field than in a city, he looked around and saw some animals being raised here. He was surprised to see normal animals here, the pokemon world does have normal animals but they are very rare because they cannot survive in the wild with all the pokemons living there, these animals heavily rely on humans to survive. These animals are a good source of food so human to raise them and breed them, with their poption being kept in check under human protecting they live a normal life. The dead animals will be used to make goods such as leather and other stuff, they are also the meat source of the pokemon world, people do eat some pokemons in the pokemon world but pokemons have a way to defend themselves and any one of them can kill humans. So humans do rely on animals for their food source. They are normal animals, like cows and other domestic animals, there is a Houndoom with them, it looks like the Houndoom looks after these castles so they won''t get attacked by any wild pokemons that fly up in the sky, but that is not most likely to happen because powerful wild pokemon prefer to stay and hunt in forest then going into the cities to hunt normal cattle. Julian looked around and saw something, it was the same Riolu he saw yesterday, the little Riolu is training with a small baton made from its aura. Julian was surprised to see this, it''s very hard for Riolus to manifest their aura and create something with it but this Riolu already learned how to make a simple baton. Though the baton would just shatter if it gets hit by a powerful move it''s still a huge aplishment for the little Riolu. Jason walked towards her with a smile on his face, Riolu noticed someone approaching her, she turned around and saw Julian looking at her with a smile on his face. Riolu got startled at first then realized Julian hase to give them a visit, she got happy and rushed into the house before Julian could even say anything. Julian justughed awkwardly seeing this and just stood there for Riolu to get back with her caretaker the massager. Chapter 318 - Riolu Meets Others Julian didn''t have to wait long before Riolu brought the massager with her, seeing Julian the massager was surprised but happy, she thought how happy her daughter would be if she was here right now. Massager "Thank you, Mr. Julian, foring to my house, pleasee in" ?? She said and invited Julian inside the house, Julian walked in and saw the house was filled with photos of the massager''s family, he saw the picture of a young girl next to her. Julian ''She must be her daughter'' Julian thought and sat down on the couch, the massager went into the kitchen to bring a ss of water after she gave him a ss of water she also sat down and looked at the photo of her daughter. Julian "So she is your daughter?" Julian asked. Massager "Yes, her name is Shofie" Julian "Shofie, its a nice name, what is your name, you didn''t tell me" Julian said. Massager "Oh, sorry for that my name is Ellie" Julian "Ellie, have you thought about what I said yesterday?" Ellie "I... have, I want Riolu to aplish her dream she shared with Shofie so I won''t stop her from going with you, please take care of her" Ellie said in an emotional voice. Riolu looked at Ellie and approached her. Ellie "Riolu, you have to behave and not cause trouble to Mr. Julian ok, he will be your new trainer" Ellie said. Riolu looked at Julian as he smiled at her. Ellie "You both can bond, while I prepare something to eat for you" Ellie said and walked away. Julian looked at Riolu and picked her up and put her on hisp, at the same time Crystal popped out its head and looked down at Riolu, it then got out of his pocket and appeared right in front of Riolu. Riolu got startled by this and pulled her head back, she then closely looked at Crystal who is staring at her with its big red eyes. Crystal then smiles and lifts its little hand and says hi to Riolu, Riolu started at Crystal then looked at Julian. Julian "Crystal is your friend don''t worry" Julian said. Crystal didn''t wait for long and approached right in front of Riolu and hugged her nose, Riolu shook her head as she got startled but Crystal didn''t let go, it seems to be enjoying this, swinging from left to right. Julian picked up Crystal from Riolu''s nose and flicked it. Julian "Don''t cause trouble or no MooMoo milk today" Julian said. Crystal became quite after hearing no MooMoo milk and went back to Riolu and this time it is a lot calmer and introduced itself friendly to Riolu. Riolu seems to be a little shy around Crystal but that was over in few minutes, Crystal could befriend even the most aggressive pokemons if it wants to. Ellie walked in and saw Riolu happily ying with a pokemon she has never seen before, but she is happy seeing Riolu enjoy herself, she was not at her fullest because of Shofie''s death but seeing Riolu back to how she was Ellie felt relieved that she agreed to Julian''s request. It''s just been an hour and they have already made such huge progress, it showed why Julian is such a great champion. Ellie served the food she prepared, Crystal and Riolu shared a te together as it told Riolu about her new friends and other. Hearing Crystal Riolu is excited to meet her new friends. Ellie "I am very happy to see Riolu back to how she was before" She said. Julian "Crystal is special, it can make anyone happy so its no surprise, I promise that I will take good care of Riolu" Ellie "I trust you, here" Ellie said and gave a Pokeball to Julian. Ellie "This is Riolu''s pokeball" Julian took it and nodded at her. Once they were done eating Julian and Riolu visited the burial site where Shofie is buried, Julian and Riolu paid their respect to her and went back to Ellie''s house. Julian soon decided to leave as it was time to do so. Ellie "Riolu be careful and don''t cause trouble" Ellie said and hugged Riolu onest time. Julian and Riolu left with each other. Julian didn''t directly go to his room, he put Riolu in her Pokeball and drove off towards the forest where he trained the day before yesterday. After arriving there he let out his pokemons, it is training day so they already started to warm up. Julian "Ok everyone we have a new member in the family" Julian said and pped his hand to grab everyone''s attention, all of his pokemon looked at him, as he got their attention he tossed Riolu''s Pokeball up in the air, Riolu came out andnded on her feet and looked at the pokemons in front of her. As she looked around she saw Infernape and rushed towards him as fast as possible with sparkling eyes, Infernape was surprised by this sudden approach from Riolu. The reason why Riolu got excited seeing Infernape because she also wanted to battle like Infernape, she and Shofie would watch Julian and Infernape''s battle every time they finished training to learn from them, she is a huge fan of Infernape as well. Julian "Riolu is our new family member, everyone, be kind and Gengar, don''t scare her" Julian said. Riolu looked around and saw Gengar, Snox (who is sleeping), Tyranitar and Absol, she had seen all of them in television and always though of battling like them, seeing her Icons right in front of her made her light-headed. Julian just smiled seeing this. Julian ''She might need a little time adjusting to the environment'' He though. Chapter 319 - Happenings In Lake Valor Julian started the usual training, he told Riolu to just watch today as it would be hard for her to follow with the others right from the start, he let her watch for the first day and see how herpanions do their training. Riolu sat beside Infernape and saw his eyes are closed, she didn''t know what he was doing but she tried to replicate him. ?? Julian smiled seeing this and chuckled. Julian "Riolu, you should watch Crystal and others first, you will be able to train like Infernape when you be as strong as him" Julian said. Riolu looked at Julian and back at Infernape, she wanted to know how Infernape trained even without moving and his eyes closed, but as Julian said she will learn how to train like that when she bes strong she nodded and start to look at herpanions, the group she would be a part of. She saw that the most dominant of the group is Gible, he just runs around and dashes anyone who he wants to battle even Julian''s older pokemon, Gible''s main target is always Tyranitar but Tyranitar just ignores him. Manaphy and Crystal are a duo, they mostly train with each other and sometimes with others, Luxio and Togetic train with each other, Victini and Cranidos train together. Riolu sees how they train and could tell how her training was not up to the point at all, she realizes she needs to train even harder than before if she wants to catch up with them. The training went as usual and it soon came to an end the little ones are tired and run towards Julian to ask for food. Julian calls Riolu to join the group and give them their food, he makes them sit in a circle so they socialize more with each other. Riolu is a little shy at first but she gets back to her happy self after being exposed to the positive surroundings and with Manaphy with them, things went pretty well. The day was about toe to an end and Julian needed to head back. Julian "Riolu from tomorrow we will start your training, hope you are excited?" Riolu nodded happily, she will finally be able to train and aplish her dream. Julian smiled and nodded after seeing her happy, he then sent all his pokemons back to their Pokeball and headed back to the city, once he got into his room he sat down in front of the TV, shifting through the channels he saw some news that talked about the recent happening in Sinnoh, he was on the news, Cynthia was on the news, and what caught Julian''s attention is aboutke Valor, some observational camera''s ced in the area caught Azelf looking around the area, catching a legendary pokemon in film is a big thing, if someone sees one they won''t have any proof of their sighting and taking a picture of them is very hard, but now its been caught on film looking around theke and it seems like it is trying tomunicate with someone. What Julian really wanted to know is who ced these cameras, only pokemon professors are allowed to ce these type of cameras in the wild to observe pokemon habitats, but what the news is saying is that no professor has agreed with cing cameras aroundke Valor. This means that these cameras were illegally ced there, even though these cameras are illegal the footage of a real legendary pokemon being caught is a big deal. Julian ''I think there is more to this, these cameras were installed illegally without any authorization, that means whoever installed this didn''t want the footage to leak but it somehow ended up in the news, Azelf seems worried about something as well from its behavior'' Julian thought and frowned, he suspected team gctic to be involved, he has one of the orbs with him currently that he snatched from Cyrus but it looks like Cyrus won''t stop, if he is capable of obtaining one Orb, it means he can obtain them all. Julian ''Do this idiot really think he can control these gods with just mere orbs?'' Julian thought, from what the system had said to him, the Creation Trio can use Omniforce just like Arceus, there is no way some mere orbs can control these god-like Pokemon that has ess to Omniforce, the most supremew of the multiverse. But Julian is curious about one thing, why do these Orbs even exist, he takes out the Griseous Orb, the dark yellowish golden orb in his hand illuminated as it made contact with his hand, it is because of the Omniforce around his body and nothing more. The system has said that this orb holds the will of Giratina itself but he never asked why this Orb was even made, if this thing didn''t exist, idiots like Cyrus would never go around fooling around with them. Julian ''System do you know why these things even exist?'' System ''I do not, it is not in my knowledge but it can possibly be a protective mechanism, these Orbs can project a physical body of their owner to fend off anything that may be considered a-destroying disaster'' Hearing this Julian was surprised, he didn''t expect this Orb in his hand can actually project a physical body of Giratina to fend of danger. Julian ''Why didn''t you tell me about this before?'' System ''Host never asked'' Julian just sighed, his system is just a machine, it will only answer what he asks about nothing more nothing less. Julian ''Wait a minute if this is true, then Cyrus may really be up to something, he might be trying to not control the Creation trio but use their wills to do something'' Julian thought and got alerted. This is not the anime he used to watch, the things that happen here are real and he has already abandoned his previousmon sense of his previous world, the Creation trios are the gods of this universe and their will alone can hold enough power to manipte space and time. Julian ''I should go to Lake Valor and see what really is happening there'' He thought and put away the Orb. Chapter 320 - Training Riolu A new day and another training session for the little ones, Julian nned to visit Lake Valor but before he does that he needs to defeat the gym here, today is thest training session and tomorrow he will challenge the gym. Once he got back to the same ce in the forest as yesterday, he called out his pokemons as they started to warm up. ?? Julian "Riolu, today will be your first training day, so we will go easy on you and once the training is done we will have a little mock battle between you and an opponent of your choice" Julian said. Riolu nodded happily. Julian "Ok then let''s start with the basic" Julian said and started to train Riolu, Riolu has a high attack stats right now but her defense iscking as she still doesn''t have her steel typing which she will gain after evolving after she evolves, with her evolution, she will also get arge boost in special attack and her defense. Julian now decided to work on her defense for now because her Attack and Speed are at a good state for now. First, he started with a physical workout to build some strength then carried on with training her Aura, Riolus are special pokemon that can channel Aura, which makes them special as they can use this aura as shock waves or a way to slow down or weaken iing attacks. He then moved on training her body near her limit for the first day. Riolu is exhausted from all that hard training, she never felt this exhausted in her life, she realized how hard it is to get stronger, all of Julian''s pokemon can train three times her amount, she realized her previous training was near uselesspared to what she is doing now. Julian noticed this and patted her head. Julian "Don''t worry about it much, its always hard at the beginning, you will soon get used to it, and you are already strong, you have learned to channel your Aura into physical form, that is a huge aplishment" Julian praised her and gave her some MooMoo milk to drink, MooMoo milk is the best source of protein in the pokemon world that is why Miltanks are so expensive, they cannot be found in the wild, and Miltank breeders are very rich due to their high demand, their milk products are of high quality and expensive as well, not many people can drink them on daily basis, so normal cattle milk are still sold in stores across the world. After finishing up a whole bottle of milk Riolu smiles happily, Julian then lets her rest, he starts to prepare something nutritious of his pokemon after that, soon Riolu will have sore muscles so giving her nutritious food will help in recovering her muscles. His other pokemons also eat nutritious food daily that is why they have been growing strong and big at the same time. After they had their lunch Julian let the little ones y along for a while and let them digest their food. After an hour passed. Julian pped his hand. Julian "Riolue here" Julian called Riolu, who is enjoying bouncing on top of Snox''s belly with Gible and Crystal, Riolu jumped down and ran towards Julian and stood in front of him. Julian "So do you want to have a battle with someone?" He asked. He knows that Riolu is not ready to face off against any of his pokemon but watching her battle will really give him some insight on her, he had done the same with Shinx when he took him in. Riolu nodded as she also wanted to have a battle with one of her new friends. Julian "Ok so who do you want to battle?" He asked and looked around, Riolu also looked around and pointed at Gible. Julian was surprised by this choice, Gible is the strongest one of them all without Crystal in the list, Crystal is just a cheat but Gible is actually not that far behind it, Gible is very cunning in his strategies, even though Crystal is a lot stronger than Gible, they have a record of 2-3 between their battles, where three wins belong to Gible because he was able to trick Crystal and take it by surprise. Crystal is a powerhouse but Gible is a tactician with lots of power behind his attacks as well. Julian "Gible, Riolu is new so don''t overdo it, ok" Gible nodded and walked towards Riolu and epted her challenge. Julian "Ok, this is just a mock battle, when I say stop both of you will stop, do you understand?" Both of them nodded their heads and looked at each other. Julian "Then you may begin" With that, the mock battle started. Riolu started first as she charged towards Gible as she made a small baton from her Aura and swung it at Gible, Gible just moved to the side, avoiding the straight frontal attack from Riolu. Seeing this Julian quickly started to take notes on how Riolu moves and how she attacks. Julian ''Her movement is great but her attack is sloppy and her whole frame is exposed to being attacked by a special move, Gible could have just ended the battle there'' He continued observing as Riolu swung her baton all over the ce trying to hit Gible, but Gible is slippery, with simple movements of his legs he moves around the field with no effort. As Riolu get tired after swinging the baton many times, Gible moves in and uses Iron Head, seeing the iing attack, Riolu puts her baton in front of her to defend it. She sessfully defends it but her baton shatters into fragments and disappears, she gets tired after this, it took out a lot from her to stop that attack from Gible. Julian "Ok that''s enough" Julian gives themand to end the battle, Riolu sits on the ground and huffs in deep breaths. Julian "Riolu you did well for your battle against Gible, now I know what you should concentrate on in your training, in no time you will be able to join your friends in their sparring session" Julian said. Hearing this Riolu got excited and forgot about her lost to Gible. Julian just smiled seeing this. Tomorrow will be the day he will challenge the gym and his pokemon are ready. Chapter 321 - Challenging The Veilstone Gym Today is the day Julian will face off the gym, but before he goes to challenge the gym, he sat down in front of his PC and started to look around about Veilstone gym, the gym leader of this gym is Maylene a fighting type trainer, her main pokemon is a Lucario with Machoke and Meditite as her second and third. She is a strong gym leader with a win rate of 90% wins in every challenger''s first challenge, she rarely loses her first battle with the challenger, the next battle will favor the challenger because every gym leader have a style and once a trainer figure it out, oveing it will be easy. ?? Julian then looks through some of her mock battles in exhibition match and tournaments held in Sinnoh, but this doesn''t always give an idea about how the gym leader really battle, this is a mock battle, they are being careful not to hurt the other party so these type of battle alwaysck the techniques and special style that a trainer posses. This is also the problem of many young trainers, they study the mock battles of the gym leaders too much, they don''t even understand they are not learning anything while studying these battle. After seeing through them Julian still was able to get some points, even though this is a mock battle the trainers won''t change their style and from this Julian can roughly guess what a real battle scenario would look like. The gym always took three on three pokemon battles so Julian has toe up with a team like he thought he wants Cranidos on this battle as he is the only one who is weak against fighting type in his team. Julian''s team is really good at taking on fighting type trainers so this gym battle would still be easy for him even if his Cranidos goes down, but it is not likely to happen due to all the training Cranidos has gone through. After doing what he wanted it was time for Julian to go and challenge the gym, he got out of the hotel and headed towards the gym. He soon arrived outside the gym, he is surprised to see that this fighting type gym, this was very different from the past gyms he has seen, unlike any fighting type gym that looked traditional and followed the ancestral design, this one looked very modern and big, it was more like a mansion than a gym and there was also additional huge buildings attached to the main building, one on the side and one at the back. The backside of the gym is a very thick forest mostly home to wild pokemons. Julian entered the gym and started to look around the gym, he saw some pokemon statues and fountains around the gym, most of these statues belong to fighting type pokemon, stating that this is a fighting type gym even though it doesn''t look like one from the outside. As Julian walked further into the gym, he heard yells followed by the sound of kicks and punches, he followed the sound and soon arrived in an open area gym, he saw a girl with short pink hair, with a band-aid on her nose, she is wearing a blue top with white trousers and blue gloves. Beside her is a Lucario who is training with her, they seem to be very focused on their training as well, her Lucario suddenly noticed something and turned around to see a man wearing a ck mask looking at them. Seeing this it charged at Julian as it created a long baton from its aura and swung it towards Julian, it trainer who is also the gym leader of this gym, Maylene, seeing Lucario suddenly attack someone random stunned her for a second. Maylene "Lucario no" But her reaction was toote, Lucario''s baton was already above Julian''s head, but before the Baton could evennd Julian grabbed it with his bare hand and stopped it. Lucario was surprised by this and tried to pull it back but was unsessful, Julian then squeezed his hand and shattered the baton into fragments which caused Lucario to fall on its back. Maylene who is also surprised by this snapped out of it and rushed towards Lucario and made it stand up and bowed down to Julian. Maylene "I am very sorry Lucario is very protective, he thought you must be a thief as your face is covered" She apologized to Julian and stared at Lucario to do the same as well, Lucario also bowed down and said sorry for its action. Julian "Its no big deal, well anyways I am here to challenge the gym, you must be the gym leader Maylene, right?" Maylene "Yes, I am, so you are a challenger, you can wait inside I wille and battle you after Lucario and I clean up" Julian nodded and walked towards the main building, on his way he saw another person who entered the gym with him, it was none other than Paul. Julian ''I have been seeing him a lottely'' Julian thought and just nodded at him and walked in, Paul was surprised to see Julian here, he can recognize Julian even though he is wearing a mask because he could see Julian''s eyes clearly, he is also wearing the same dress as the time he met Julian in the forest. Paul ''He must be challenging the gym as well, I think I should watch how he battles'' Paul thought and walked in as well. Chapter 322 - Julian Vs Maylene Julian soon found himself in front of a huge battlefield, the battlefield is filled with pirs on the side and few in the middle, a very acrobatic pokemon can easily dominate the battlefield using these pirs. He saw Paul also entering the room and saw him sit down on the audience seat, Julian looked at him once and then started to look around the gym once again, he wanted to see what he could use to Cranidos''s advantage, Cranidos has trained hard, his attack has skyrocketed and his speed is also notcking behind, what he reallycks now is special defense while his physical defense is just average, enough to take on hits. ?? Due to the nature of Cranidos''s energy building up his special defense is hard so Julian decided to focus on other things, such as his speed as it can be a much betterpanion for Cranidos''s attack power. Julian didn''t have to wait long as Maylene soon walked in with her Lucario by her side, Julian looked at her and got into his position. Maylene looked around and saw another person on the audience section, she didn''t mind a visitor who is going to watch her battle, she even suspected this one to also be a challenger as well. Seeing that Julian has already taken his position Maylene didn''t waste her time and also took her position, as soon as she took her position an old man walked out and stood in the referee''s position. He is the official referee of this gym. Referee "This will be a three on three pokemon battle, only the challenger is allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, the one who will have no pokemon at the end will lose" The old referee said in a rough voice, even though the sentence was short the time he too was long, it didn''t matter to Julian as he waited patiently for the referee to finish saying what he is saying. Referee "Both of you may choose your pokemons" With the referee''smand, both Julian and Maylene took out their Pokeball. Maylene "Meditite, I choose you" Maylene sent her Meditite as her first pokemon. Julian "Cranidos let''s go" Julian said and tossed Cranidos''s Pokeball up in the air. Both pokemon came out and stood on the battlefield. Both Maylene and Paul are surprised by Julian''s choice. Paul ''Why would he even choose Cranidos, from what I have seen, he has much better pokemons that can take on her Fighting-type pokemons'' Paul thought but stayed quite. Maylene "A very bold move" Julian "Its better that way, Cranidos needs some pressure" Julian said nothing after. Maylene "As you wish, we will show you the result of looking down on my fighting type gym" Referee "Let the battle being" As the referee gave the signal Maylene made her first move. Maylene "Meditite use Meditate" Maylene started off by trying to increase Meditite''s attack stats. Julian "As if I will let you do that, Cranidos, Ancient Power" Cranidos created miniature rocks circling around him with his power, he then shot it towards Meditite with all his force causing Meditite to get out of its meditation state and dodge the rocks, it was unlucky to react slow and got hit by one of the rocks. Meditite rolled back in the air but straightened itself up using its Psychic power. Maylene "We won''t go down so easily, Meditite use Drain Punch" With this Meditite rushed towards Cranidos at an extremely fast pace, using its psychic power it is able to cover more ground easily, it appears right in front of Cranidos to deliver the Drain Punch. Julian "Cranidos move to right" As Julian said so, Cranidos did the famous move performed by Gible every time, just hoping to the right with one leg and bending his body a little, as it is a very short distance move it is very fast and Cranidos easily dodged the Drain Punch. Julian "Now Iron Tail" Maylene "Quick Guard" Cranidos used the same leg as a pivot to turn around a swing his tail towards Meditite using Iron Tail but due to Maylene''s fast reaction shemanded Meditite to put on a Quick Guard, the Iron Tailnded but on an invisible barrier, Meditite is just pushed away and not hurt. But Julian just won''t stop there, he is a champion, like amateurs he won''t stop attacking if he has a chance to attack. Julian "Now, Head Butt" With Julian''smand, Cranidos uses his powerful legs and shoots towards Meditite, with all the hell of training he went through to strengthen his legs to the extreme, there is no way he is slower than Meditite. Meditite is caught by surprise by this sudden attack from Cranidos, it didn''t even get the chance to adjust itself and another attack is heading towards it. Maylene "Meditite use Quick Guard again" Maylene once again acted fast and called out Quick Guard, the more a Quick Guard is used the less effective it bes, it''s just like Protect but it activates way faster, its the best move to counter moves like extreme speed or Bullet Punch. Cranidos just crashes into the protective force field with all the power he had with that Head Buttpletely shattering the invisible forcefield, but he still gets stopped by it, that doesn''t mean he didn''t cause damage. Just from the sheer force of that attack Meditite is sent rolling backward and crashes into one of the poles hard and hits the back of its head to get confused by it. Julian "Now finish it, Iron Head" With thismand, Cranidos uses his powerful legs to sprint once again, as his legs drag through the round ground leaving behind a trail of smoke and the shining iron energy on the dome of his head, Cranidos looks like a huge bullet. Maylene "Meditite, dodge" Maylenemands Meditite to move away but Meditite is confused by getting hit behind its head, it didn''t even notice as Cranidos just smashes through it and sts it into the same pir and this time nting it inside. Referee "Meditite is unable to battle Cranidos wins". Chapter 323 - Julian Vs Maylene (2) Seeing her Meditite being taken down from a single shot made Maylene tense up, Paul also bes serious. Paul ''Such power and speed,pletely different from the Cranidos I fought in Oreburgh city'' ?? Paul has easily won his battle against the Oreburgh gym leader and his Cranidos, but seeing how Julian handles his Cranidos he wondered if his pokemon can withstand one of the attacks from Julian''s Cranidos. Paul ''He didn''t give a chance for the opposition to find their footing, fast pacemands, one after the other, but they aren''t random as well, it looks like he calls out the move depending on the position of his pokemon''s stand, this way he is able to pull off continuous wless attacks'' Paul is indeed right, Julian always has his eyes both on the opposition and his pokemon, he always sees what position his pokemon is in and if his pokemon will be able to pull off a move during this position. But to reach this level even Julian had to train and bond with his pokemons a lot, he had to study them and how they react on everymand of his, it is not easy to pull of continues moves like Julian. Paul, of course, understands this and learns howrge of a gap there is between him and Julian. Maylene calls back her Meditite back to its Pokeball and takes out her next Pokeball. Maylene "You won the first round but it won''t be so easy, let''s go Machoke" She sends out her Machoke as her next pokemon, a big bulky Machoke enters the battlefield and looks down on Cranidos. Julian ''Let''s see what this big fellow can do'' He thought and smiled. Maylene "Machoke be careful, the opponent is stronger than normal challengers" Her Machoke nodded at her and looked at the little blue and grey pokemon in front of it. Maylene "Machoke let''s go, use Karate Chop" Machoke soon brings down its big arm towards Cranidos. Julian "Dodge" Cranidos moves to the side and dodges the Karate chop, the hand continues down and hit the ground and causes the side to break ande out of the ground carrying Cranidos with it causing him to go off bnce. Maylene sees this and doesn''t want to miss this chance. Maylene "Now Low Kick" Julian "Use Protect" As Machoke''s legse near Cranidos a force field stops itpletely, Cranidosnds back on his feet and stares at Machoke. Julian has thought Cranidos some defensive moves as well because sometimes speed and power is not always everything, Protect is a very useful move and Julian made it so that Cranidos learns it and will be able to protect himself from attacks like this. Julian "Ancient Power" Julian called out another attack, Cranidos created multiple mini rocks around him and shot it towards Machoke. Maylene "Machoke, deflect it with Close Combat" As Maylene said, Machoke uses its hands and legs to shatter all the rocks shot towards it but during this, it didn''t notice that Cranidos has also jointed the rocks. Julian "Iron Head" Cranidos uses the rocks around him to jump from one to other andnds a powerful Iron Head right in the stomach causing Machoke to back off holding its stomach in pain. Maylene didn''t expect this at all, Cranidos was carefully camouged with the glowing rocks with that Iron Head reflecting the light. Maylene "Machoke, stay on guard we cannot give them a second to attack or it will be hard" Maylene said and warned Machoke, Machoke nodded and got its attention back to Cranidos. Julian "Focus Energy" Julian called anothermand, Cranidos''s moves became stronger as Cranidos used Focus Energy. Maylene "Machoke use Revenge" Machoke charges towards Cranidos once again while using Revenge, revenge is a move that doubles the amount of damage if the user was hit before, Maylene wants to finish this with one hit, she knows that the previous Iron Head hit Machoke very hard, she could see Machoke is having a hard time breathing after taking that powerful hit. Julian "Use Ice Beam" Suddenly Julian calls out another move, Ice Beam, Maylene didn''t expect Cranidos to know any Ice-type moves at all. Cranidos aims at Machoke''s legs and freezes it, causing it to fall face-first on the hard ground. Julian "Let''s get this over, Zen Headbutt" As Julian gives themand Cranidos charges towards Machoke who is still on the ground trying to break apart from the frozen ice, too bad its toote, Cranidos is too fast and connects the Zen Headbutt right on top of Machoke''s head causing Machoke to lose consciousness the next second, as Cranidos has a very high attack stats and Zen Headbutt being a psychic type move, it was no surprise that it was able to take out Machoke. Referee "Machoke is unable to battle, Cranidos wins" With the referee''s call, Maylene''s two pokemon are down, she only has one left. Julian got the first two victory easily but he knows the third one will be a little tough, his previous exchange with her Lucario had already made Julian guess its rough strength and it may be even stronger than his Cranidos. Even though Cranidos will still have an over the top attack stat, but from an overall perspective Julian believes that the Lucario is a tough one. Chapter 324 - Julian Vs Maylene (3) Maylene calls back her Machoke and looks at its Pokeball. Maylene "You did well Machoke" ?? She said and put the Pokeball back to the pocket, then she turned towards her Lucario. Maylene "Lucario, you have seen that the opponent is very strong, we have to go all out" Her Lucario nodded and walked towards the battlefield. Julian "Cranidos, can you continue?" Julian asked. Cranidos nodded his head, he is ready to defeat hisst opponent. Julian "Good" Both Lucario and Cranidos faced each other, Lucario has seen Cranidos battle, it knows it cannot take this little one lightly. Cranidos rubs his legs against the ground like a bull ready to charge any time with all his power. Referee "You may continue" With this signal, both of them started. Maylene "Lucario, Aura Sphere" Lucario starts off with a very powerful fighting type move, Aura Sphere, there are very few pokemons that are known to learn this move and Julian has two of them, Riolu who will evolve into Lucario and learn it along with Togetic who can also learn Aura Sphere once she evolves into Togekiss. Julian "Cranidos continue with Zen Headbutt" Cranidos charges directly at the Aura Sphere as the dome on top of his head got covered with Psychic energy. Cranidos increased his speed and went right through the Aura Sphere, due to Zen Headbutt being a psychic type move and the speed and power behind Cranidos, he easily shattered the Aura Sphere and continued heading towards Lucario. Maylene "Lucario block it" Seeing that Cranidos isn''t stopping and there is no way for them to dodge this, the only thing they can do is block. Lucario created a long staff and held it in front of it and blocked Cranidos. Cranidos mmed into the staff made from the aura, the sh created a shockwave but it didn''t stop there, with the power behind the attack still present Cranidos started to push even further, the Aura Staff started to crack and shattered into pieces and Cranidosnded on the chest on Lucario and pushed it back. Lucky for Lucario that staff it had created observed all the energy behind Cranidos''s attack and it only felt a lite bump on its chest when Cranidos made contact. Maylene didn''t waste any time and made a move. Maylene "Lucario, use Close Combat" As Lucario is very close, it got near Cranidos and started to swing its fist and legs at Cranidos. Julian "Use Protect" Cranidos created a round forcefield all around his and stopped Lucario fromnding a hit, but Lucario continued hitting the forcefield cause small cracks to surface on it, the cracks them slowly started to move all over the forcefield. Julian "Cranidos, store up Ancient Power till the barrier copses" Cranidos did so and started to create small rocks all over him, these rocks are multiplying and covering up all the space inside the barrier. As the barrier copsed, the rocks came rushing out and taking Lucario by surprise, these rocks went everywhere, Lucario got hit by more than five of these small rocks, it didn''t cause much damage but it was enough for Cranidos to make some distance against Lucario. Seeing that they lost their chance Maylene squeezed her fist but continued making her move. Maylene "Lucario continue using Aura Sphere" Lucario nodded and created two Aura Sphere and threw it at high speed towards Cranidos. Julian "Cranidos use Substitute" Cranidos moved back and created a fake dummy of himself so that it can take the hits, the first Aura Sphere went and destroyed the substitute, the second one just past through the smoke and hit the ground causing dust to fly everywhere. Cranidos got enough time to move around the battlefield with all that distraction Lucario created from those Aura Sphere. Julian "Use Stone Edge" As dust still filled the battlefield Cranidos uses it as a distraction to get to Lucario''s side and mmed his hand on the ground, suddenly multiple blue rockse ripping out of the ground which caught Lucario by surprise who was trying to find Cranidos. The Stone Edge hit Lucario and sent it flying back, but Lucario twisted its body in mid-air to position itself straight andnded on its feet. Due to its slender and flexible figure, Lucario can easily move and torque its body to its wishes. Julian "Headbutt" Cranidos suddenlye shooting out of the dust leaving behind the trail of dust. Maylene "Bone Rush" Lucario created a bone-shaped from its aura and swung it straight on Lucario''s head, the attacksnded on each other, with the Bone Rush Lucario got the upper hand and brought down Cranidos, Cranidos crashed on the ground but he didn''t stay down for long, he used his tail to quickly get back to his feet andnded a Headbutt on one of Lucario''s knee. Lucario didn''t expect Cranidos to continue attacking even after being put down. Julian "Now Iron Tail" As Cranidos is still close to Lucario, he made another move, he used his legs to turn around as fast as possible and aimed at Lucario''s other leg with Iron Tail. Maylene "Jump back" Hearing Maylene Lucario jumped back as fast as possible and dodged the Iron Tail. Julian "It''s over, Zen Headbutt" As soon as Lucario moved back Cranidos now has enough distance to deliver the final blow with a Zen Headbutt. Cranidos uses his powerful legs and charges towards Lucario as he uses Zen Headbutt with all his power behind it. Maylene "Lucario, we cannot just take that, use High Jump Kick" Maylene called out her Lucario''s most powerful move, High Jump Kick, its a very powerful move that can guarantee a knockout but if the attack misses the user will get severely hurt. Seeing there is no escape to the Zen Headbutt, Maylene decided to go all out with High Jump Kick. Lucario jumped and charged towards Cranidos with his knee first. Both shed in mid-air caused a big boom, the shock wave traveled all over the field sting off everything around, the rubles were sent flying everywhere, the ground below them cracked like a spiderweb from the shockwave. The bacsh hit and both pokemon are sent flying backward, bothnded on their back, both of them received heavy damage from that exchange Julian didn''t expect Maylene to pull off such a dangerous move in such a situation but he didn''tin about it because at the end of the day it''s just a pokemon battle and any side can get hurt. Both pokemon struggled to get up their feet and are able to stand up, both of them looked at each other, suddenly Cranidos went to his knee. Lucario put on a little more strength and stood up straight on his feet and looked down on Cranidos but it suddenly copsed straight on its back and fainted. Referee "Lucario is unable to battle, Cranidos wins" As the result was announced, Julian sighed and looked at Cranidos, Cranidos also copsed after a few seconds and fainted. That exchange was clearly on Cranidos''s favor, with the typing advantage and Cranidos''s insane physical attack stat, but the move Lucario use is one of the strongest fighting type moves, it was an unexpected thing for Julian, for someone to use such a dangerous move in a fraction of seconds. It proved that Maylene had a really good eye for closebat. But it didn''t matter at the end, Lucario went down before Cranidos, it tried to use thest bit of its energy to stand straight and cked out. Cranidos won the battle. Chapter 325 - A Challenge For Paul Julian walked towards Cranidos and picked him up, Cranidos gained his consciousness and looked at Julian, he was a little disappointed because he fainted, if it was Gible he would have easily swept the whole gym without breaking a sweat. Julian knew what Cranidos was thinking. ?? Julian "You did great, you were at a disadvantage and yourst opponent was much stronger than you but you still won, I am proud of you" He said and patted his head and sent Cranidos back to his Pokeball. Paul just sat there and went over how Julian fought this battle, he didn''t understand why Julian didn''t switch his pokemon during battle. Paul ''Why didn''t he switch his pokemon during the battle, he could have won easily, is there something I am missing?'' He questioned himself, he doesn''t get why Julian didn''t use other types of pokemons and used a rock type with is clearly weaker, even though he won his performance could have been a lot better if he used another pokemon. Maylene also called back her Lucario into its Pokeball, then she walked towards Julian with a Cobble badge in her hand. Maylene "This is a Cobble badge, a proof of your victory against the Veilstone city gym" Maylene handed over the badge to Julian, Julian nodded and took the badge. Julian "I will be leaving then" Julian said and walked away without bothering to stay here anymore, he wanted to visitke Valor quickly, Julian just walked out from the gym. Paul looked at Julian leaving and got up from his seat as well. Paul "I will be challenging your gym next time" Paul said and walked out as well, he soon followed behind Julian because he wanted to find out the reason behind Julian''s decision of using a rock type during this battle. He soon saw Julian walking out of the gate and rushed towards him. Paul "Wait" Paul called out. Julian heard Paul and stopped, he turned around to see Paul rushing towards him. Julian "What is it, Paul?" Julian asked. Paul "Why did you use Cranidos during this battle, you could have easily won this battle in a few minutes, why drag it till the end?" Paul asked. Julian stared at him and sighed, even though Paul is really good at training his pokemon andes up with best-case scenarios to battle his opponent he stillcks experience. Julian "Paul, tell me why do you challenge the gyms?" Paul "To get into the pokemon league" Paul answered straight away without thinking. Julian "Is that all the reason you got?" Julian asked once again. Paul "Is there more to it?" He asked. Hearing this Julian sighed. Julian "Tell me why do gym exist?" Paul "So that the trainers can grow stronger, well that is what others say" Paul said. Julian "What do you think about gyms, I don''t want other''s opinion" Julian asked. Paul "I think it''s useless, I never lost once while challenging these gyms" Julian "And why were you able to win so easily over these gyms?" Paul "Because I used pokemon that had an advantage over them" Julian "Indeed, you have always used pokemon that had an advantage over the other party, or you had a pokemon that had a type of move that can cause heavy damage to the other party" Paul nodded his head after hearing Julian. Julian "How about this, the nearest gym should be in Pastoria city, its a water type gym, why don''t you use Ground or a Fire-type pokemon for your next battle, and when we meet again, tell me what you experienced, and no cheating, you can only use pokemon that are weak to water types" Julian said and walked away. Paul just stood there, he didn''t understand why Julian told him to do so, he had already nned to sweep that gym using his Electabuzz but now Julian has told him to use pokemon that are weak to water types. He decided to go with Julian, he wanted to see how hard it will be for him to ovee this challenge. __________________ Julian soon got back to his hotel room and got ready to leave but he suddenly got a call from Chloe, seeing this he sighed, he knew he won''t be able to leave this room today because Chloe is going to bombard him with tons of information that he doesn''t need. Gengar "Gegegegege" Julian could clearly hear Gengarughing at him, this annoyed of Julian a little but he didn''t mind, it was Gengar''s nature to find this kind of thing funny, his mighty master ispletely helpless against his own girlfriend. As Julian had expected he talked to Chloe and Daisy for quite a while before hanging up, seeing it was already midnight he went to sleep after cing Crystal onto the cushion, Crystal would always fall asleep in his pocket and he would have to always take it out of his pocket and put it on top of the cushion next to him, he then went to sleep as well. Next morning Julian woke up and got ready to leave for Lake Valor, he wanted to see if whoever ced those cameras are actually the Team Gctic and if they have acquired one of the orbs. And if they did Julian has to get it back so they don''t cause trouble anymore. Chapter 326 - Finding The Perfect Gliscor Julian got out of the hotel but he was joined by the hotel manager, he wanted to personally send-off Julian, they gave him some flowers and things that will be useful for traveling. After saying his good by to the over-friendly manager of the hotel Julian left Veilstone city, his next destination is Lake Valor which falls directly on the route to Pastoria City, where he will have his next gym battle. ?? After getting out of the city he had to travel over a bumpy road then followed by caves, this area is known for Gligar and Gliscor sightings, even though Julian thought of catching one before but now his team already consist of eight pokemon. Crystal, Manaphy, Gible, Cranidos, Victini, Luxio, Togetic, Riolu, these eight have nearly covered his team and if he decides to catch a tank such as Gliscor, it has to be a special one. On his way, he did see some Gligar and Gliscor but they didn''t grab his attention, some of them had good potential but Julian hesitated to catch them. Julian already feels his team is full and he doesn''t want any extra and if he does adds a ninth member he wants a powerful tank, Gliscor can be one but he needs one with a high defense stat with the sacrifice of Special Attack, some pokemon are like that, if one of their stat is extremely highpared to their own kind, they will becking in other stat. So finding this specific Gliscor will be very hard for Julian, but if he finds one he will be in luck, as he rides forward he has toe to a stop because it seems there is construction being done on the bumpy road. Julian saw a worker nearby carrying a bunch of stones in a carrier. Julian "Excuse me, how long will this construction take Worker "We are sorry but the road is blocked off, we are applying tar on top of these bums, you have to take the caves if you want to go to the other side, we should be done within two days, if you don''t want to go through the caves then you have to wait" The worker said to Julian. Julian "I will take the caves then" Julian said and rode off, there is a cave that leads to other side but it is infested with Zubats and other bat type pokemons, mostly Zubats and they have the tendency to attack anyone if one doesn''t have a strong pokemon they would be severely injured. Luckily these Zubats are weak and won''t cause much damage if they are alone, and in a group, they can take down a high-level pokemon trained by a gym leader, so whoever decides to take the caves have very strong pokemons. Worker "Are you sure mister, the cave is infested with Zubats and even if you are lucky and get away from them, some trainers who entered the cave and went past through the Zubats said that they were defeated by a very powerful Gliscor, you should be careful. Julian ''A powerful Gliscor, maybe I should check this one out'' Julian thought and nodded at the worker and rode off towards the cave entrance, once he reached there he had to get off his bike as the cave is not suitable for riding his bike, he puts it in his dimension pouch and walks in. After getting a little far into the cave he is already greeted by a hoard of Zubats but they just flee away scared after seeing the two red crimson eyes in the dark. These Zubats are very weak, a starter pokemon given to young trainers can take two of them out in one go. With Gengar''s presence, they didn''t daree near Julian since the Zubats problem is resolved just by Gengar''s presence. Julian soon made his way to the end of the cave. Julian ''Looks like that rumor about a powerful Gliscor was just fake'' He thought and was about to get out when he felt a drift of wind entering through the exit of the cave, the wind is actually very strong. Suddenly he saw a pokemon gliding using this drift of air into the cave. Seeing this Gliscor Julian is surprised, it is a shiny Gliscor, it has a light blue exoskeleton over its body, with yellow ent on its stomach and inner ears, Gliscors are a mixture of a scorpion and a bat, hence the hard and powerful exoskeleton to protect it from dangerous enemies. Julian ''So the rumors are true, the Gliscor is not that strong, I think the trainer who passed here had their pokemon pretty exhausted taking care of all those Zubats, this Gilscor is just fooling around here'' He thought and looked at the Gliscor carefully and asked the system to tell how is this Gliscor, and to his surprise he is lucky. This Gliscor is the one he has been searching for, a high defensive tank with a very low special attack, his attack stat is above average for his level. Julian ''Looks like my luck is going very well, now let''s catch this one, he is not fully developed so I have some room to temper him and make him stronger'' Julian thought and took out a Pokeball and tossed it up in the air. Julian "Let''s go Manaphy". Chapter 327 - Battle In The Cave Julian called out Manaphy as it is the best pokemon to use to bring down this Gliscor, this Gliscor looks pretty tough so Julian has to be careful and not let Manaphy get too close to him so it can avoid being hit by a powerful physical attack. The Gliscor looked at his new opponent, he is surprised to see a fresh pokemon who is not tired or fatigued by all the Zubats inside the cave. ?? All the trainer he faced would have pokemons that were weakened by the Zubats, then he would attack them and steal their backpacks for food and other stuff. Knowing the battle won''t be easy, the Gliscor became serious as well, if things go south he will try to escape, he has known these caves for quite a long time so he knows when and how the wind blows. Seeing Gliscor is having second thoughts about this battle Julian made his move, he cannot let go of this chance, he has found hisst pokemon and he cannot let it run away. Julian "Manaphy, use Bubble Beam" Manaphy made the move and sent out a stream of exploding bubbles at Gliscor, seeing the stream of bubbles heading towards him, Gliscor bent to the side to glide sideways and dodge the attack. Julian ''This one has really learned how to use the wind to control his movement in mid-air'' Even though Gliscors are flying types they are not actual flying pokemon, they use their wings to glide through the air, they have very special wings that can help them glide through even areas which don''t have much air. Gliscor tends to suffer from powerful draft of winds that swirls around tall buildings in cities, that is why they are hardly seen in cities, they don''t like being sent flying by strong current of winds, but there are some Gliscors that can use these currents for their advantage, if they learn how to control themselves in these type of updraft they can easily maneuver around cities without problem, they can even go through the harshest winds which normal flying type pokemons will find hard. Even though the Gliscor in front of Julian showed some good control but he is still not up to the level where he can survive the harsh updrafts that take ce between tall buildings and skyscrapers in the city. Gliscor adjusted himself and used glided towards Manaphy while using Fury Cutter, he crossed his ws and tried to sh Manaphy with it. Julian "Water Pulse" Seeing Gliscor tried to directly attack Manaphy Julian too his chance, this is a cave and making a quick turn for Gliscor will be hard for him. Manaphy did a 360 and created a Water Pulse in front of its antenna and shot it point-nk range at the iing Gliscor, the Water Pulsended and caused Gliscor to go down on the ground. As Julian had expected even though Gliscor saw the iing attack he couldn''t dodge it even if he tried, well if he tried and spun multiple times in a direction, the air pressure he would create would be able to make him get away from the Water Pulse. Too bad he doesn''t have much experience in battles like Manaphy and Julian, withpetition like Crystal and Gible, Manaphy also has to keep up its game to be a match to them, Crystal is just broken and Gible is like a sponge who soaks up everything Julian teaches him in one go. Gliscor gets up by struggling a little and gets back on the air and drifts above the ground and looks at Manaphy with his yellow eyes. He once again charges at Manaphy and this time he uses X-Scissor. Julian "Water Pulse again" Manaphy once aging does a 360 and creates a Water Pulse in front of its antenna and shot it towards Gliscor. Seeing the iing Water Pulse, the Gliscor doesn''t panic and instead uses Quick attack to increase his speed, he bes faster and with the help of X-Scissor, he cuts through the Water Pulse and charges towards Manaphy. Julian is surprised by seeing this, he didn''t expect a wild pokemon pull off a movebo, and it is very effective as well, using Quick Attack as a booster for X-Scissor. Julian "Acid Armor" Since there is no way to dodge this attack Julian tells Manaphy to pull off a defensive move, ayer of poisonous aura surrounded Manaphy and raised its defense by two stages. Gliscornded the X-Scissor on Manaphy, as X-Scissor is a Bug-type move it wasn''t much effective against the Acid Armor which has a poisonous nature and with the rise on Manaphy''s defense it only received a lite hit. Julian "Bubble Beam" Julian called out another move, Manaphy then shot another Bubble Beam at Gliscor andnded it. Gliscor is sent flying backward and crashed on the ground. Seeing he has no chance of winning this battle he decides to flee because the next big wind will blow through the cave which will give him the perfect time to make an escape. Seeing Gliscor so focused but not on his opponent Julian is surprised. Julian ''What is he waiting for?'' He asked himself when he suddenly felt it, a light breeze on his back, feeling this Julian smiled. Julian ''So it was thinking of escaping'' Julian realized that Gliscor wanted to use the iing wind to make a fast escape. Julian [Manaphy, as soon as the wind hits and Gliscor tries to escape, use Ice Beam on his wings] Julian sent a telepathic message to Manaphy, Manaphy nodded and waited for the wind to kick in, they didn''t have to wait for long because a strong wind blew from behind Julian, feeling the raging wind Gliscor used his wings and spread it wide so that the wind can lift him up and take him away but as soon as he did that, Manaphy sent a powerful Ice Beam at Gliscor which caught him by surprise, the Ice Beam hit his wings andpletely froze it, Gliscor fell on the ground as the weight on the solid ice prevented him from gliding. He also took heavy damage as he is four times weak to Ice-type moves. Julian "Now is the time" He said and tossed an empty Pokeball at Gliscor. Chapter 328 - Welcoming Gliscor The Pokeball captures Gliscor inside it and falls on the ground, Julian waits in anticipation as he watches the ball wiggle around, and this time the ball keeps wiggling. He had never faced such a scenario before, the ball wiggles a little more and opens up again and Gliscores out of the Pokeball and breaks away the ice from his wings with his ws and looks at Manaphy. ?? Julian ''This one wants to put a bigger fight I guess'' He thought and got ready. Gliscor gets back to the air and charged towards Manaphy once again while using Thunder Fang. Julian "Ice Beam, once again" Now Gliscor is just struggling to fight back and get a hit on Manaphy. Manaphy shot another Ice Beam at Gliscor, seeing the Ice beaming towards him once again Gliscor suddenly crossed his ws as it started to get covered with steel energy, Gliscor used Metal w and destroys the Ice Beam and gets very close to Manaphy and delivers the Thunder Fang. Julian "Manaphy use Acid Armor again" Manaphy used Acid Armor right before getting hit by the Thunder Fang, Manaphy got zapped but with the defense raised, Manaphy took that hit. Seeing Gliscor got a hit he became excited and charged at Manaphy once again with Thunder Fang. Julian "Use Water Pulse" Manaphy then sent a powerful Water Pulse at Gliscor, Gliscor once again used Metal w to destroy the Water Pulse. This time the Water Pulse sted and covered the whole area, Gliscor suddenly stopped as he couldn''t see his opponent at all, it looked like his opponent haspletely disappeared. Julian "Ice Beam" Suddenly Manaphy appeared right on top of Gliscor andnded a powerful Ice Beam on top of Gliscor and sent him crashing on the ground, Gliscor''s whole back is frozen and he faints, Julian throws another Pokeball and this time it captured Gliscor and shook three times with the final beep stating that the capture is sessful. Julian "He is a tough one" Julian said and picked up the Pokeball and put it in his dimension pouch, he sent in Manaphy as well and walked out of the cave, the light of the sun hit his face, he looked around and found himself in front of a long rough road in the middle of this forest. He took out his bike and rode off towards theke, taking the cave has made it a little faster for Julian to reach Lake Valor. Julian soon found a camping ce for the night and started to set up the camp, after doing that he let out his pokemons. Julian "Ok everyone we have a new member to our family" Julian said and tossed up Gliscor''s Pokeball, Gliscor came out of the Pokeball and looked around, he saw many pokemons looking at him except few, the older once just nced him and went back to what they were doing, the newer ones were the one who is more interested in him. Crystal went first and greeted Gliscor, Gliscor was surprised by Crystal, he didn''t expect this little one to approach him without any caution. In the wild Gliscor had to always be on guard, he was left alone because he was different from others, he had to train harder than any young pokemon in the forest to survive, he got lucky one day and got a hold of a Razor Fang during his night scavenging time and evolved into Gliscor, after he evolved he became a lot stronger and started to train harder but there were still some pokemons in the forest he couldn''t beat. Gliscor is always cautious about his surroundings so being greeted in the face by Crystal made him ufortable, Manaphy stepped in an pulled back Crystal from Gliscor''s face as it understood that Gliscor is feeling ufortable. Manaphy could easily tell when a pokemon is going through a certain feeling, that is one of the reason it is able to befriend any kind of pokemons, even if they are a group of angry savage Gyarados. Seeing Manaphy Gliscor goes on defense but to his surprise, he didn''t feel any anger or frustration against it, he even felt calm around Manaphy, soon Gliscor wasfortable with Manaphy. As he gotfortable with Manaphy the others also joined in. Julian sighed as he saw Gliscor getting along with the younger ones, the older ones will be a little tough for him, Tyranitar doesn''t like being disturbed, Absol doesn''t care about anything and focuses on increasing his power, Snox is always sleeping. The only ones Gliscor can try talking to are Infernape, he is calm and collected and will wee anyone, and Gengar who likes doing mischief and drag in new members of the family into it. Julian is lucky that he has Manaphy in his group, its presence helps the new pokemons adapt to the changes pretty quickly. Julian walks towards Gliscor and crouches down to his height. Julian "You are now a part of a big family, let''s all work together to grow stronger with each other" Julian said and weed Gliscor to the family. He soon started to train his pokemons and let Gliscor watch from the side so he can see how the training goes around here. After a lot of training and all the little ones are tired Julian gave them some food, he gave Gliscor an already prepared meal, he still has no idea on what diet should Gliscor be in so like every other pokemon he caught in the past, he starts off with a neutral diet. As Gliscor eats the food given to him, his eyes sparkle and munch off the whole bowl and rush towards Julian for seconds. Julian "Looks like you were quite hungry" Julian said and gave his seconds. The dayes to an end and all of them go to sleep. Chapter 329 - Crystal Meets Azelf Next day Julian woke up because Crystal is poking his cheeks with its little finger, he opened his eyes and saw Crystal giggling on top of his nose. Julian got up and looked outside, he noticed that the sun is already up, he looked at his watch and saw it was 10 AM. ?? Julian "So that is why you are on top of my face, you are hungry" Julian said and got out of the tent. Crystal wakes up at 10 AM exactly and wants to drink a whole bottle of MooMoo milk. Julian ''I slept for quite a while'' Crystal keeps poking his cheek to give the MooMoo milk, Julian soon gave it a whole bottle or Crystal will be poking him till he does that. Holding the bottle that is as big as itself, Crystal started to drink from the bottle. Julian soon started to give breakfast to his other pokemons and started to remove the tents, after his pokemons had their food Julian hit the road again. He is just a few hours away from Lake Valor. Julian kept riding and soon found himself in front of Lake Valor and what greeted him surprised him, he saw many people camping across theke with cameras. Julian ''Are they idiots? they think Azelf would just appear if they surround theke with their cameras in their hand'' Julian thought and put his bike away, he walked towards theke and saw that there are more people than he thought, just because some camera caught Azelf. Julian walked towards the water and bent down, Crystal popped its head out and looked at its reflection on the water, it came out and touched the water with its little fingers and started to happily make circles on the surface. Julian "Crystal not now, why don''t you stay in, when all these people leave, we will take a careful look over theke" Julian said. Crystal nodded and went back into his pocket. Julian walked towards a tree and sat down looking at the people around here, the news was announced a week ago and soon this news will die, the people here look bored and tired, even though they have set up their cameras, none of them were actually on it. Julian knew they will soon leave, he just has to wait for a while and soon these people will leave. He closed his eyes and zoned out. After some time he felt his cheeks being poked, he opened his eyes and saw it was actually evening and thest person on near theke is packing his stuff and leaving, he turned to the side and saw Crystal looking at him with puffed cheeks, it is angry because it didn''t get its MooMoo milk, Julian quickly takes one out and gives it to Crystal. Crystal happily sits down on his shoulder and starts to drink the MooMoo milk, Julian looks up the sky and see its already orange. Julian ''Looks like I zoned out'' He thought, he was getting bored and he didn''t even realize that he fell asleep. Julian ''Now I will have trouble sleeping tonight'' He thought and got up, he saw thest person leave, now that no one is around the area Julian looks around to confirm onest time, he then walk towards the water and bends down. Last time he did that was today morning, he let Crystal y with it and noticed Crystal using Omniforce to y around theke, Crystal seems to be very happy to touch the water, this time Crystal didn''t wait and dives into the water. Julian [Gengar, follow Crystal and this time hide your presence] Julian sent a telepathic message to Gengar, Gengar got out of his shadow and went into the water following Crystal,st time in Lake Verity the same thing happened, Crystal was attracted to the waters of thesekes, Gengar easily blended into the dark water as the sun is about to set and the light is not reaching the depth of theke. Crystal soon started to move around and greet the pokemons inside theke, while Crystal familiarizes itself with other pokemons in theke, a pair of eyes watch Crystal. Feeling the gaze Crystal turns around and looks at the direction where it sensed the gazeing from, Crystal giggled and rushed towards the direction. Crystal suddenly bumped into a forcefield which shattered like a bubble revealing Azelf, Azelf looks surprised by what happened. Crystal happily circles around Azelf and tries to grab onto its tail to y with it. The barrier which Crystal just broke is a dimension separate from the real world, it is were Azelf hides and looks after theke, seeing it shatter like a bubble just by the touch of this little pokemon made Azelf cautious for a few seconds. But it soon calmed down as it noticed Crystal only wants to y, Azelf also joined in and started to y with Crystal. Crystal started to chase around Azelf as if they are ying a game of tag, this is, of course, being watched by Gengar and all this is being sent to Julian through his mind. Julian smiles seeing this. He has read about theke guardians, these three were also created by Arceus but they cannot ess Omniforce but they do seem to be protected by it, that is why Crystal seems attracted to them and anything that they touch, thiske is the home of Azelf so every drop of water has its scent and Crystal feels happy around Omniforce. Finding Omniforce in other ces except around Julian makes Crystal want to explore the area and see who or what could be the reason behind its existence. Julian ''Looks like they areing up'' Julian sees Crystal and Azelfing to the surface so he gets up and waits for them to surface. Chapter 330 - A Different World. Azelf and Crystale out shooting from the water and circle around each other, Julian just stands there and watches them chasing each other happily. Gengar goes back to his shadow without being noticed by Crystal and Azelf. ?? The two moved around theke while Julian looked around to see if there are any other hidden camera''s around here. Finding none he sighed and started to set up his camp here, Azelf by now had already noticed Julian but it didn''t feel like escaping from there because it could feel something familiar around Julian, even though it is familiar with this aura it doesn''t know much about it. It knows that this aura protects it and its siblings and seeing such a thick aura around Julian made Azelf curious about him. Julian then let out his pokemon one by one, so that Azelf won''t get startled by all his pokemons, he first let the little ones out so that they can bond with Azelf, he then let out Tyranitar and Absol as they are the second generation of Julian''s pokemon and the second-best of his pokemons, he then let out Infernape and Snox. Snox as always keeps on sleeping with no worries about the world around him, he won''t wake up until he gets hungry again and that day is sooning, Julian has already prepared for the day, Snox sleeps for around thirty days and wakes for to have another huge meal and fall asleep again. Seeing Snox is out the little ones rushed towards him and started to climb on top of him, his belly is their favorite ce to y and bounce around. Seeing its friends trying to y on top of Snox, Crystal called Azelf to join in as well. Julian kept quiet this whole time to let Azelf get associated with its surroundings and Julian''s pokemon so when he approaches it, it won''t run away. It didn''t take long before Azelf got along with all of his pokemons, it still kept its distance from Tyranitar, Absol, and Infernape as they were busy doing what they mostly do training, they do cool of during night time when the little ones go to sleep, they y their games using their powers to lighten up. As their power level is too high they wait for the little ones to go to sleep so they don''t interfere in the games. Azelf''s attention was mostly focused on Infernape and Julian though, it could tell they both shared a very powerful bond and the aura that always protects it connected them with each other. It is not wary about Julian''s presence anymore, Julian soon started to cook himself his dinner and started to feed his pokemons, he also gave some to Azelf, it took the pokemon food and ate it happily with others. Julian looked at Snox and saw he is still asleep. ''I guess he will be sleeping a few more days'' Julian thought and ate his food, Crystal got sleepy after ying for such a long time so it came towards Julian and went into his pocket to fall asleep without saying goodnight to its new friend. Azelf also floated towards Julian and looked at Crystal inside Julian''s. "Here take this" Julian said and took out a poke puff for Azelf, Azelf looked at the poke puff in his hand and tilted its head, it approached Julian''s hand and took a sniff of the poke puff, smelling this delicious treat it took a bite out of it and was fascinated, it had never tasted something this delicious before. Seeing that Azelf liked it Julian gave the whole puff to it, Azelf ate the whole thing and asked for another one, Julian didn''t have any other option and gave another one to Azelf. Seeing that Azelf was no longer wary of him, Julian pulled out the Griseous Orb from his pouch and showed it to Azelf. Julian "Do you know what this is?" Julian started with a simple question. Azelf saw the Griseous Orb and was surprised, it didn''t expect to one of the Orbs, it looked at Julian and nodded its head saying that it knows about it. Julian "In whichke does this belong?" He asked. Azelf pointed towards the north side, the only otherke left is Acuity. Julian ''So this Orb is from Lake Acuity'' He thought and looked at Azelf once again. Julian "Do you have your Orb?" Julian asked. Azelf nodded to him telling that it still has the Orb with it. Julian ''Looks like those idiots still haven''t gotten their hands on it'' Julian thought. Julian "Can you show it two me?" Julian asked. Azelf thought for a second and nodded, it then signaled Julian to follow it, Julian got up from his seat and looked at Infernape and passed his Crystal. Julian "Look after the others until Ie back" Julian said and Infernape nodded his head. Julian then followed Azelf into the water as it dove into it, Jason removed his coat and followed behind it, he soon followed Azelf into the depths of theke, if a normal person was here they wouldn''t notice anything but it was different for Julian, he could sense the little amount of Omniforce in the whole water body. People always said that the water from these threekes held magical properties, and this Omniforce was behind it. He followed Azelf deeper into theke till he could see the bottom of theke, he saw Azelf not stopping and continued heading down, suddenly he saw Azelf pass through the solid bottom without any resistance. Its body got covered in white light and disappeared, Julian hurried and followed behind, as he touched the bottom floor he didn''t feel it, instead he felt like going through a waterfall and the next things he sees apletely different world. His world was dark right now due to night time but here it is different, he is still inside water but he could clearly see the sun rays lighting up theke in blue, this water body was quite big, he saw some ancient pokemons like Relicanth freely swimming in this water body, he saw some weird pokemon that looked like a squid, he has never seen this pokemon at all, not even in his previous life. Julian ''These must be those prehistoric pokemons that went extinct millions of years ago'' Julian thought and rose up to the surface to see what''s outside, as he got out he was surprised to see his surroundings, he was right in the middle of a massive ocean with nonds in his sight. He saw a massive Wailord that is twice the size on once that are alive right now, surfacing the water with him. He looked up and saw a group of Aerodactyl flying over his head, one of it dove down and caught a Relicanth with its mouth and flew away. Julian ''This is apletely different world'' Julian thought and dove down once again, he followed Azelf down to the ocean''s bed, the deeper he went the more pressure he felt but with Omniforce surrounding his he could survive in space, so the ocean''s water pressure was nothing, if a normal man dove as deeps as he did, their body would be crushed by the water pressure, and this world is way bigger than his previous one, which means the depth of the ocean is even deeper. Julian ''Looks like I have to take a very deep swim'' Julian thought and continued diving deeper into this foreign ocean filled with pokemons he has never seen or heard of before. Chapter 331 - Adamant Orb Julian is fascinated by this underwater world, he is seeing pokemons that are so huge in size than the modern-day pokemon would be put to shame, even thergest pokemon Wailord would fail inparison to the Wailord that is front of him right now. This massive Wailord is 3 times the size of a normal Wailord, his Gyarados would be considered tiny in front of it. ?? He then went deeper into the ocean, he saw a group of fish pokemon that looked like sharks but they have stingers behind their tail, they seem to be poison type pokemons, he then saw a massive crab pokemon, it was very simr to a modern-day Krabby but instead of four legs, it has six. The pressure was getting higher and higher as he went deeper, his vision also started to fade due to no light under here. But he used his Omniforce to lock onto Azelf and followed it, they soon arrived at the ocean bed, the deepest part of the ocean. Now Julian cannot see anything but he could still feel his surroundings, he could feel the ocean bed crawlers, they are either pokemons or normal underwater animals who thrive here. He followed Azelf and suddenly he felt passing through another waterfall. As he passed through it his vision returned back as light filled the area and he saw something fascinating, in front of his is a huge tform, across the tform are four long pirs that seem to go very high, Julian couldn''t even see the end of these pirs, right behind this tform is a huge statue of Dialga, but when Julian looked closely at this statue he realized it is not a statue. In modern terms, it could be called a hologram image of Dialga, what is different about it is that it is made from Omniforce itself. Right in the middle of the tform is a huge blue crystal supported by four stands that curve up from the ground and attached themselves to the Crystal, and right below the crystal is the Adamant Orb, the Orb shined by reflecting the light from the crystal. Jason could sense the pulsing Omniforce present in the Orb, he walked towards the Orb and looked around, the Omniforce around here is the densest he has ever felt. He looked around this ce, the sides are covered with ss-like walls that are reflecting the crystal in the middle. Julian ''This Orb seems to have much Omniforce than the one I have, what could be the reason?'' Julian thought and examined the Adamant Orb, Azelf sat on his shoulder and looked at what Julian is doing. He thinks these Orbs observe Omniforce as well when he got hold of the Griseous Orb, it didn''t have much Omniforce in it but as he touched it, it started to react, now seeing that the Adamant Orb is also the same he realized that the Griseous Orb has lost its power by being outside its own ce, just like this one. Julian ''I should put the Griseous Orb back to where it belongs, but how did Cyrus obtain the Griseous Orb, even I couldn''te here if Azelf didn''t bring me here, there is more to this than I though'' Julian thought and looked at Azelf. Julian "Be careful and don''t meet anyone, it can be a trap to take away the Orb, some people out there are nning something so be safe and don''t fall into the wrong hands" Julian said to Azelf. Azelf nodded and put on a worried expression. Julian could tell something is up. Julian [Is one of your siblings in trouble?] Julian asked. This time he used his telepathy so he can understand what Azelf is saying, Azelf seemed surprised by this then nodded its head. Azelf [Yes, I cannot sense Uxie anymore] It answered. Julian [Do you know what happened to it?] He asked to which Azelf shook its head in denial. Azelf [I don''t know, one day our connections just snapped, that is why Mesprit and I have been keeping low, I think someone is trying to capture us. When I saw Lord Giratina''s Orb I though you have Uxie but it doesn''t seem like it] Julian [I think I know who has Uxie, don''t worry, I will return it back to itske with the Orb, so don''t worry, let us go back] Julian said and waited for Azelf to return him to his own world. On his way out he still had to swim through the ocean, he saw the same pokemons here, he thought about his team and what would happen if he brings one of these to his world, but he removed that thought from his mind, his world ispletely different from this one. His world has gone through several changes, millions and millions of years have passed, Groudon and Kyogre have fought many times with each other, wiping out living beings from the face of the and creating new life. The same could have happened if Julian had not stopped them. This world ispletely different and it looks like it isn''t habituated by Groudon or Kyogre, what he can see now is aplete water body, he doesn''t know what thend of this world has, can these pokemon even survive onnd and will they be able to adapt to the sudden change in the environment, so Julian decided to not take anything away from here. Soon he appeared in Lake Valor and resurfaced, he looked out and saw that most of his pokemons are asleep except Infernape and Gengar. Seeing Julian is back they got up to wee him, Julian then sat next to Infernape to dry off. Azelf didn''te out with him. Julian looked at the direction of Lake Acuity. ''Until Azelf and Mesprit are fine I have time, but I should start to move a little faster, don''t know what Cyrus is nning and there is also that Cult which gives up a very bad vibe'' He thought and soon went to sleep, he needs to keep moving and face problems that he will face as this is what he chose, to be an adventurer and enjoy the world. Chapter 332 - Forest Adventure Next morning when he woke up he saw Crystal and the others are already up, they have been ying with Azelf all along, he didetest night so he slept for longer than usual. He looked at his watch and saw it was 12 PM. ?? Julian ''Its already afternoon, all that swimming even made me tired'' He thought. Even though Julian is much stronger than humans of this world and even some pokemons, his body is still not at its peak, he goes through exhaustion after an instance training, andst night swimming was intense. Seeing that Julian had finally woke up the little ones rushed towards him to get their morning breakfast, Infernape had told them not to disturb Julian as he arrived prettyte at night, the little ones listened to him and let Julian sleep. Luckily Azelf came to give them a visit so they got upied by ying with it. Julian "Ok calm down all of you, you will get your meal" Julian said and started to prepare the food for all his pokemons, he even served extra for Azelf. After their bellies are filled Julian let them rest before starting to pack up, he has to leave now, confirming that Azelf is safe he needs to head towards Pastoria City now and to go there he has to go through another huge forest. He has nned something in his stay at the forest, after saying goodbye to Azelf Julian calls all his pokemon back to their Pokeball and leave the area. Lake Valor is still at the edge of this forest, he wants to go deeper into the forest, he wants to let his new pokemons experience the wild once again. After traveling for a few hours Julian finally found and the perfect ce to start, he called out all his pokemons. His pokemons came out and looked around, they saw some trees and bushes filled with berries, there is a small water pond on the side, a perfect ce for a pic. Julian "Ok everyone, listen to me, Infernape, Gengar, Tyranitar, Absol, and Snox you all will be spending three days alone in this huge forest without relying on each other, while the little ones will be with me and train ad battle for three days with wild pokemons" Hearing Julian his pokemon looked at each other and nodded, the older ones have not done this for quite a long time so they are excited and three days on their own was also new to them. They nodded happily. Julian "Ok good, after three days, meet back here and don''t cause too much trouble around the forest" Julian said. His pokemons nodded, Snox on the other hand just zoned off after hearing it, he was forced to wake up by Julian now he goes back to sleep again. Seeing this Julianughs and looks at his other pokemon. Julian "Ok, you guys may leave" Julian said. As the older ones nodded and moved out, Infernape and Absol disappeared in a blur, Gengar blended into the shadow and disappeared and Tyranitar just walked away shaking the ground with each step. In the group of new pokemons, his Gliscor has the most experience among all of them as he had survived all alone till he evolved into a Gliscor and survived further. Julian "Ok you guys will also be battling a lot, I will just be behind you, all of you have to fight your own fight, I won''t be giving food to you guys, you have to get your own food from the forest, I will just be there watching you, all you have to depend on yourself and your friends" Hearing him his pokemons looked at each other, Gible was excited to start this new thing Julian came up with, his best friend Cranidos also nodded his head and got excited, the others were little down because they won''t be able to eat Julian''s cooking. But still, this new experience will help them understand each other and the world outside, if one day they want to leave Julian won''t stop them, he would happily let them go, just because he trained them and love them he won''t hold them back with himself, sometimes its best for pokemons to just let go and start new. Julian "Ok let''s go then" Julian said and followed his pokemons as they walked into the forest, he wanted to see what these nine will do in this forest, he would just act like he is not there, he will just watch and see what they do and how they ovee the troubles they wille across in the forest. They might encounter some powerful pokemon that are way higher level than them, they have to work together to defeat one of them. Julian turned around and looked at Snox and smiled. Snox follows the saying, Eat Sleep Repeat like no other. Julian ''Let''s just hope no one tries to mess with him''. Julian thought and walked into the forest following his pokemons. Chapter 333 - Snorlax In The Forest As Julian left with his Sinnoh batch pokemons, Snox is the only one left behind, as he sleeps he uses his hands to scratch his belly and sleeps without any concern about the world around him. While he is sleeping a few pokemons who were hiding from Julian and his team finallye out and look down on the giant sleeping below, many tiny bird pokemons and the ones that those that live in trees. ?? [Hey look at that pokemon, he so huge, what do you think he is doing here?] A Taillow asked its friend who is on his side. [I don''t know, he seem to be just sleeping, let''s not disturb him, he looks very powerful] The other Taillow said. [You are right, let''s just keep doing what we were doing] It said and got back to their own business, but unlike these Taillows, some pokemons got curious seeing such a massive pokemon, some of them approached Snox and started to climb all over his body to see what is going on, this part of the forest is mostly popted by weak pokemons, the stronger ones don''te here, so seeing a Snox is very rare to them. Snox moves a little in is sleep to turn around causing all the pokemons there to get startled and run away, they hide behind trees and bushes, some dig a hole in the ground and peak out to take a look at Snox once again. Seeing that the giant is just moving in his sleep the other pokemon sighed seeing that the giant has not woken up. They got back to Snox side and started to sit around him and started to y on him seeing he won''t budge even after getting hit by their moves. Some babies started to bounce on his belly while their parents brought them things to eat. While the pokemons enjoyed their time as they do always, a pokemon from the bushes is keeping an eye on them with its intense re. It had stopped in its tracks due to the huge Snox, but when it saw that it was in deep sleep and won''t get up even after so much noise made by the annoying baby pokemons, it decided tounch an attack. This pokemon lives in the deeper forest where every day is a war between pokemons for territory because the deeper forest has better resources, this pokemon got defeated several times and was chased by a Seviper till the end, id it had not escaped the Seviper would have killed it and swallowed it as food. But this pokemon got lucky and stumbled upon this area, it didn''t expect that such a rich resource area is not under any strong pokemon''s control, and it is near the edge of the forest so any stronger pokemon won''te here. As for Snox being here it already knows that he already belongs to a trainer, it had been absorbing the area when Julian walked in, seeing so many pokemons it stopped and decided to watch, now that the human has walked away along with his pokemons, and one of the pokemon is in deep sleep, it knew it has to take over this area. This pokemon looked around trying to find a target to take hostage, after finding a kid pokemon that is all alone munching on a berry, the pokemon dashed out of the bush with its ws wide exposed trying to take the baby pokemon hostage. The parent pokemons saw this pokemon and got scared, it is a Sneasel, the other pokemons got scared and backed off, the mother of the baby pokemon tried to save her child but she is too slow when Sneasel got close to the baby pokemon. Snox moved again, he turned his body and swung his arm, the arm then hit the Sneasel and sent it flying through a tree making a hole in it and disappeared into the sky. All the pokemons were startled seeing this, that Sneasel was very fast and ferocious but with just one swing it was sent through a thick tree and disappeared from their sight as it was sent flying into the sky. All of them cheered happily and surrounded Snox. [Wow he is so powerful, he didn''t even do a proper punch and sent that Sneasel flying] One pokemon said. [Indeed, he is super strong, we should make him stay here so he can protect us from those dangerous pokemons in the deep forest] Another one said. All the remaining pokemons nodded their head agreeing to the one that said so. [We should ask this lord to protect us and instead, we can give him things to eat, our area is filled with food everywhere] Another one said. All the pokemons then nodded. As everyone agreed they started to collect all types of berries and put it in front of Snox so when he gets up he can eat them. These pokemons have heard that Snoxs love to eat so they decided to pay with food. Now the pokemons just have to wait for Snox to get up and they can speak with him. Chapter 334 - King Of The Forest The Sneasel that had been swatted by Snox is still free falling from the sky, it had fainted from being hit on the spot, but after few minutes it regained its consciousness and saw it is still falling down, it could see how massive the forest really is from such height. It then fell through a flock of Wingulls who were flying. ?? The Sneasel started to panic as the ground got closer and closer by every second, it then started to think what it could do to not get heavily injured by this fall, Sneasel then realized that it is going to fall in the middle of the forest, it can use its ws to dig into a tree and stop it from crashing on the ground. It started to collect energy in its ws and enforces its whole arm to make it more rigid when it digs into a trunk of a tree. As it was about to reach the ground it adjusted its body and found a tree totch on to, it then swung one of its w and dug into the thick trunk of the tree, it still was falling down as the trunk is being cut, it used its other w and dug in as well. Sneasel made a long deep cut into the tree trunk but it had safelynded on the ground, Sneasel sighed and tried to pull out its w but it realized that its ws are stuck, it tried to pull it out but its ws have been deeply rooted into the tree trunk. While the Sneasel tried to take out its ws from the tree the noise it made alerted the king of this forest. Inside the middle of the forest and pokemon with Blue and Red color is squatting down near ake, it suddenly heard this tearing sound with caused it to get irritated. It looked at the direction of the source of this sound and got up on its feet and walked towards the direction. As it came near the tree it saw a Sneasel with its w stuck inside, it looked at the tree and saw a long w mark on the tree, it looked around and saw lots of fallen leaves everywhere, it looked up and saw few broken branches. It realized that this Sneasel has fallen down from the top. It walked towards the Sneasel and suddenly grabbed its leg and pulled it out, Sneasel was scared out of its mind when this happened. Its w was freed from the trunk but now it is being hung upside down by a very powerful and scary pokemon, Sneasel looked at the pokemon that is holding it upside down and it started to sweat. This pokemon is none other than the king of this forest, Toxicroak. This Toxicroak is the cruelest and greedy Pokemon in this forest, it severely injured the previous king of the forest a Ursaring and took over, it then chased away all the pokemon in the central area and took over everything for itself alone. The Toxicroak looked at the Sneasel in his hands and grinned in a sadistic manner, it then pulled back its other arm as the tip of its spike over its hand started to glow purple, this Toxicroak wants to hurt this weak Sneasel. [Lord wait I didn''t enter your area on purpose, a very powerful Snox sent me flying here] Sneasel said to the Toxicroak which caused it to stop in its track and let go of Sneasel''s leg, Sneasel crashed on its head, it then got back on its feet and rubbed its head. [You said and powerful Snox, from what I know there is no Snox in this forest where did you find this one, if you think you can get away from lying to me then you are wrong, I will kill you and feed you to my Zangoose] The Toxicroak said. It had a few aggressive Zangoose who work under it. [I am not lying, this Snox is really powerful, I was swatted away with just a swing of his arm] The Sneasel said. [Where is this Snox, tell me] Toxicroak asked. Toxicroak is a battle manic, there was no pokemon in this forest that could defeat this Toxicroak, it soon got bored of the pokemons that keep challenging it for the throne, none of theme close to it anymore, it cannot find a worthy opponent to beat down. After defeating its opponent Toxicroak likes to poison them slowly until they are in no condition to move at all, it doesn''t kill them and let them go because it knows they wille back again for revenge and for the resources for their family. It has been years since Toxicroak has found an opponent that could match it but now this little weak Sneasel is saying that there is a new powerful pokemon in the forest and that to a Snox. Snox are known for their immense power and high energy and rarely get tired from a fight, it is due o their constant sleeping and storing years and years of energy in a single body. [lord, this Snox is in the edge of this forest when I was searching around for food I stumbled upon a very rich resource area inhabited by very weak pokemons, if I had not gone there I wouldn''t believe that such a ce would exist at the edge of this forest] Sneasel said, it then suddenly realized it said something stupid, now that it has told this selfish kind about this rich resourcend it might try to take it away. [A rich resourcend you say, tell me how rich is it?] The Toxicroak asked. Now that Sneasel has spilled the bean it is no use of hiding it. If this cruel king finds out that it is lying it would get killed. [Yes very rich, I think it is even richer than this ce here] Sneasel said and looked around and nodded once again confirming his words. Toxicroak''s eyes gleamed as he heard this, an area with even better resources, how can it let go of this. [Haha, you will escort a few of my Zangoose to this ce and take a look around that area, then I will think about it]. Chapter 335 - Snorlaxs Wrath Toxicroak is still thinking through its head, it doesn''t want to just rush into this area without knowing its new opponent, it wants to send its workers to take the beating, if its workers the Zangoose can take down this Snox he has nothing to worry about but if this Snox is able to destroy its workers easily then it would be an exciting fight for it. The Sneasel knew it was in big trouble, it had to wait in this scary ce with this cruel king until his followers the Zangoosese back. ?? The Sneasel didn''t have to wait long before the Zangooses came back, their mouth is covered with blood, it looks like they were on a hunt. Toxicroak [You lot go with this Sneasel to where it takes you, look around the area and see how good it really is] Toxicroak said to the Zangoose that just arrived, seeing the king has given them its order they looked at the weak Sneasel. Toxicroak [You bug what are you looking at, take them to that area] Toxicroak said to Sneasel. Sneasel lowered its head and started to walk away, the Zangooseughed and walked behind Sneasel. On the way, the Zangoose would harass weak pokemons when every they find one, but when they see a Seviper they go crazy and attack it, luckily that Seviper was strong enough to defend itself then run away, the Zangoose didn''t chase after it because the king would kill them if they don''t do as he said. Sneasel was horrified during this journey, Sneasel was cruel itself, it would hurt a kid to ckmail its parents but these Zangooses are different, they would torture any pokemon that is weaker than them, they would make it suffer till a pokemon can no longer move. Sneasel was in constant fear during this whole process, it was eager to get to the area where the Snox is so that the Snox could destroy these three Zangooses. Sneasel finally saw the edge of the area he was before, the Zangooses are getting frustrated by this, they walked for very long just because this Sneasel was too slow, they had already nned to torture this Sneasel once its work is done. Sneasel [Right ahead of us] Sneasel said and pointed towards the direction, the Zangooses got excited and rushed towards the direction without thinking about it for a second. Sneasel then grinned as it knew these Zangooses are fucked if they piss the Snox off. The Zangooses rush into the area and are stunned by seeing how well maintained this is, there are clear water, fresh and juicy fruits, and berries and lots of food, they saw many pokemons and they were so weak that these three alone can wipe out all the pokemon in this area. Seeing so many weak pokemons here the Zangoose got excited, they also saw a massive pile of berries and fruits in the middle, there are a lot of small pokemons around these berries ying. One of the older pokemon noticed the three Zangooses and signaled a warning call, hearing the warning call all the pokemon made a run without thinking anything or looking behind. One baby pokemon tried to escape but tripped and fell down, the Zangooses saw this and soon surrounded the baby pokemon with an evil smile on their face. The baby pokemon got back to its feet and looked around to see these three scary pokemon surrounding it, it started to cry as it is very scared. The mother of the baby pokemon tried to run in but was stopped by other pokemon. Sneasel soon came in and saw the Zangooses surrounding a baby pokemon, it saw the three Zangoose pushing around the baby pokemon with their paws. The baby pokemon is being rolled on the ground while it is crying from fear. Sneasel ''Where is that Snox?'' The Sneasel thought and started to look around when it suddenly saw this huge pile of berries and fruit. Sneasel ''Wait, it can''t be that the Snox is under that pile of berries?'' Sneasel thinks and carefully looks at the pile of berries. Sneasel is indeed right, the little baby pokemons had gotten bored so they started to bury Snox under these berries for fun. Now the three Zangooses have no idea that they are in front of a sleeping monster that is about to wake up any moment. Snox who is sleeping suddenly starts to hear an annoying sound of a crying baby, Snox opened his eyes and sees nothing, he sniffs with his nose and realizes that he is under a pile of berries, he opens his mouth and suddenly a bunch of berries goes into his mouth and he starts to eat them. He once again hears the annoying sound of a baby crying. Snox ''What is happening outside?'' Snox thinks and gets up. The three Zangooses keeps on ying with the baby pokemon, they are so immersed in it that they don''t see the huge pile of berries and fruits moving behind them. Snox looks around and sees these three Zangooses ying with this innocent baby which causes a frown to appear on his face, Julian never liked bullying so Snox took the trait in as well, when he saw these three Zangooses bullying the baby pokemon he got angry. The Zangooses suddenly stopped their action as they looked at the ground to see that they are covered by a massive shadow, suddenly a pressure they never felt before came down on them causing them to shiver in fear, a fear they never felt before, not even from the king. They slowly turned their head to see from where this shadow is from, when they turned around they saw a monster, a huge pokemon that towered over them. They pissed themselves as they looked into Snox eyes. Snox [Master doesn''t like bullying so Snox don''t like bullying, bullies should be bashed] Snox said and took a step towards the Zangooses. Chapter 336 - All Hail Lord Snorlax Snox took a step towards the Zangooses which caused the ground to shake, the Zangooses are frozen on the stop by fear. [Smash] ?? Snox roared and brought down his massive hand on one of the Zangoose, the Zangoose that came under this hand got nted deep into the ground, a crisp crack was heard when it happened, indicating that Snox broke the Zangoose''s back. Snox didn''t do this on purpose, the Zangoose was just too weak, seeing its friend being taken down by just one hit the other two tried to escape but before they could even escape they felt their tails being held by Snox, they tried hard to escape but they didn''t even budge from their spot. [Bullies will get bullied, you are not allowed to escape] Snox said and swung the two Zangooses on top of his head and mmed them on the ground, it wasn''t over there, he then spun them and mmed them on a tree, then on the ground, then rapid continuous ms. Then he spun them onest them and threw them away, Snox then put his hand inside the hole he had made which had the broken back Zangoose, he then pulled it out and threw it away as well. All these Zangooses are now useless, they have permanently broken bones, one has its back broken, the other two have broken legs and jaw, they won''t be able to torture other pokemons anymore, they can only rely on vegetation for food, they are nowpletely incapable of hunting. They have to survive all alone in this forest now, being weary of even the weakest predator that can kill and eat them. Especially their mortal enemies Sevipers, if one of them sees these injured Zangooses they are dead for sure. Sneasel who is watching from the side is sweating bullets, it knew that this Snox was strong but to sweep away the strongest group in this forest with such ease, even the king Toxicroak could do what Sneasel just saw. It realized that if the king tried to battle Snox it is doomed to be crushed under those huge hands of Snox. The Sneasel silently made an exit, it didn''t want to get mmed by this Snox and lose its life, those Zangooses were way more powerfulpared to it, seeing that those Zangooses all are now useless, it cannot imagine what would happen to it if it got smashed like that. Snox yawned and sat down and looked at the huge pile of berries and started to eat them. The pokemons that live in this area saw all this and were very happy, the baby pokemon that was being bullied by those Zangooses slowly walked towards Snox and touched him. Snox is so thick that he didn''t even feel it, the baby pokemon once again tapped him, this time Snox felt something and turned around and looked down at the little pokemon, this little pokemon is a Cherubi. [Thank you, lord Snox] Suddenly Snox heard a voice in front of him, he turned around and saw a Cherrim walk towards him in a hurry and bowed before him. It is the mother of this Cherubi which is behind him, the Cherubi gets back to its mother and cries, it was really scared while it was getting yed around by those Zangooses, they were increasing the force of their push every time they did so. Now that it is back with its mother it feels safe. Snox just smiles at them and continues eating, soon Snox started being surrounded by all the pokemons in the area, all of them are cheering him and calling him their lord for saving them. [All hail Lord Snox] One of the pokemon said and the rest followed, the surroundings around this area only had one chant going on right now, All Hail Lord Snox. This became the talk of the forest right now, the news about the three Zangooses under the current king has been destroyed by a new pokemon in the forest and it is a Snox, this caused the other strong pokemon to get excited, if it is true the current king will try to fight this Snox, after the battle even if the current king wins it would be very tired. The other strong pokemons can take advantage of this and take out the Toxicroak. The other strong pokemon also heard that the area which this Snox upies is even richer in resources than the one Toxicroak has under its control. While all this is happening in the forest and every strong pokemon is waiting for the big fight, Snox is just enjoying his time without the care in the world, he is being treated like an emperor he is, he is being fed the most delicious berries, he can sleep as much as he wants after that. Snox knows that Julian won''t be back for three days so he decided to look around the area then go back to sleep again when his masteres back, till then he can eat all he wants. While he is eating his stomach full he is being watched by many pokemons who work under the strongest pokemons that upies this forest, they all want to be the king but until Toxicroak is alive they won''t get a chance to be one. So they sent some pokemons that work under them to spy on Snox and see if he really is what the rumors said him to be. Chapter 337 - An Upcoming Battle As all this news about this powerful Snox in the forest went around, the current king of this forest the Toxicroak is squatted in front of theke and looking at its own reflection. As it is staring into the water it noticed someone approaching him, he turned around and saw that it was the Sneasel that told him about the Snox and the area he is upying. ?? Toxicroak [You what are you doing here?] It asked and frowned, it thought that the Zangooses would kill this bug after finding the area but for some reason, the Zangooses are not with this bug. Toxicroak [What happened to those three that were with you?] Toxicroak asked and looked around. Sneasel [Lord Toxicroak all three of them would most likely be dead and even if they are found they will be of no use to you] Sneasel said. Hearing this Toxicroak frowned. Toxicroak [What do you mean?] It asked. Sneasel [The Snox, he destroyed all three of them, broke their bones and threw them far away, there is no way those three can survive in the wild any longer] Sneasel said. Toxicroak [Interesting, so those useless idiots finally met their match and got destroyed, well they were useless anyways going around annoying everyone in the forest, it caused me a lot of trouble from the parents of weak pokemons that they hurt] Toxicroak said and walked closer to the Sneasel which caused it to stiffen up. Toxicroak [Tell me how strong this Snox really is?] Toxicroak asked. Sneasel [He is very strong but I don''t think he is as strong as your majesty, but he would definitely give you a good fight and you also have an advantage over him] Sneasel said. Toxicroak [Hahaha, good, tomorrow I will go and meet this Snox and fight him till he is unable to anymore, you, stay here and do whatever you want, even though you are weak you seem pretty useful I can use you] Toxicroak said and walked away. As Toxicroak left a very wicked smiled appeared on Sneasel''s face, it wanted this cruel king to get destroyed by the Snox. Before this king took over Sneasel was living a really good life, it owned its ownnd where it could enjoy its food whenever it wants, but when this king took over it chased away every pokemon from the central area causing all the strong pokemons to take over the area already upied by other pokemons, this caused a chain reaction and the stronger pokemons would chase away the weaker ones from their territory. The same thing happened to this Sneasel, it was chased out by a pokemon that was way more powerful than it was, hence it became a rouge-like many pokemons of its level who roam the forest to scavenge and hunt, they don''t have a permanent resting ce like before. It is all due to this Toxicroak. Sneasel ''Just a little longer and that smug face of yours will bepletely destroyed by that Snox'' Sneasel thought and started to look around the area. Since it got the chance it would take whatever it can have before it misses its chance to take away somethings from here. Sneasel soon started to walk around the area and pick rare berries from some trees and bushes, it then hides then away so it cane back and take them away, escaping now would be a foolish idea because it would get chased and tortured by the Toxicroak if it does so. The day ising to an end and the orange sky takes over, bird pokemons fly across the sky, the forest is quiet because they know that a huge battle is going to take ce. All the pokemon in this forest know how the current king is, it will go to this Snox and do whatever it takes to win this battle. _________________ On the west side of the forest, the previous king of the forest, the Ursaring is present with other powerful pokemons as well, there is also a Machamp, Scizor, Camerupt and Honchkrow, these are the strongest pokemons here in this forest. They all are having a meeting because of this new situation that has just developed. Ursaring [What do you think about this new Snox?] The Ursaring asked. Machamp [The only thing I can say that he is cruel, those three Zangooses were found, all the bones in their body were broken, they are unfortunate that they are still alive, it''s better to die than live with broken bones in the wild] The Machamp said. Ursaring [Does anyone know how strong this Snox is?] The Ursaring asked. Scizor [Who knows, nobody saw him battling those Zangooses, but he defeated them without receiving any injury proving that he is definitely stronger than any one of us present here, we could take on those bastards bute out without any injury is impossible for us] The Scizor said. Ursaring [We know that Toxicroak will challenge the Snox but we don''t know what the result will be] The Ursaring said. Honchkrow [Who cares about the result, once the battle is over we will gang up on the winner and take them down, we cannot let another tyrant rule this forest] Honchkrow said. The current king is a tyrant, it would do anything to get every precious thing in the forest and they didn''t want another one. Camerupt [Why do you think this Snox will be a Tyrant?] The Camerupt asked. Honchkrow [With so much power there is no way that Snox will agree to share the forest, and let''s be honest here, if one of us were as powerful as them we would have also taken over the most preciousnd, just like our friend Ursaring here, you were stronger than us so you got the bestnd, but we were not mere pushovers so you still stayed inne, but that Toxicroak was on another level, we were chased out of our ownnd] The Honchkrow said. The other pokemons went quite, the Honchkrow wasn''t wrong, all of them would have done the same thing, well they won''t torture their opponents like Toxicroak but they will take over the bestnds. Ursaring [So it''s decided then, whoever wins that battle, we will gang up and beat them up and kill them, we cannot allow anyone of them to escape alive because they cane back and destroy us] The Ursaring said and the others nodded. The day came to an end as the sun went down and the moonlight covered the forest floor, the forest is quite as they expect to witness a battle that may change the current system of the forest. Chapter 338 - The Sanest Of Them The morning came and the forest was buzzing with every pokemon talking about the battle that might take ce today, the previous king Ursaring is also waiting for Toxicroak to make a move so that it can make a move as well along with its partners in crime. While all this is happening Julian''s other pokemons also heard about this, they just brushed it off and pitied the current king for being a foolish idiot who doesn''t know what he is doing. ?? Gengar, on the other hand, has apletely different reaction from the others, he thought of taking advantage of this. He knows Snox is going to knock the shit out of this so-called king but the pokemons living in the forest didn''t. Gengar [Gegegege, this is going to be fun] Gengar said and turned into a shadow and went into a direction, he had found a very rich ced filled with lots of berries and things that could be eaten, He soon arrived at the ce, as he looked around he saw a Honchkrow sitting on a tree eating some berries. Gengar noticed that this Honchkrow is pretty strongpared to the normal pokemons in this forest, maybe one of the strongest he has seen. Gengar [Gegege, found it] Gengar said and sneaked up behind this Honchkrow. This Honchkrow is the same one that attended the meeting with the other stronger pokemons of the forest. Honchkrow [Those fools let them go and try to get themselves killed by that Snox, I found this awesome ce that is way better than that Toxicroak''s area, luckily no one of them knows about it, hahaha, that Snox is scary, they all are going to die and I will take over the whole forest] This Honchkrow was one of the pokemon that saw Snox beat the crap out of the three Zangooses, that is when it felt the scary aura that rendered those Zangooses useless. Honchkrow wished to never meet a pokemon like that ever again, Snox scared the shit out of it. Too bad for this Honchkrow another monster has his eyes on it. Gengar [Gegegegegege] Gengarughed and didn''t hide his aura as he got behind the Honchkrow slowly. Feeling the creepy cold aura the Honchkrow shuddered and slowly turned around to find a pair of scary red eyes staring into its soul itself. Even though it is a dark type being under such chilly ghost aura would make any dark type pokemon shit itself. Gengar [Gegegegege, you were talking about brother Snox, you know it not good to betray your friends] Gengar said and got very close to Honchkrow. Honchkrow is really scared right now, it could tell that this Gengar is something that is not normal, this pressure it felt was the same as it felt from the Snox maybe even greater because it is being directed towards the Honchkrow itself. Honchkrow [Who are you and what connection do you have with that Snox?] The Honchkrow asked. Gengar [Gege, we are just pokemons under our master, he let us do whatever we want while he trains the young ones, we five are exploring the forest, it''s not just only me and Snox, there is also a massive bloodthirsty Tyranitar, a cruel Absol and the worst of them all the sadistic torture an Infernape, he would set anyone on fire and watch them burn alive and eat them] Gengar said andughed, hearing this Honchkrow''s heart stopped for a second. Gengar [But, me, I am the most normal of them, I just like gambling so I came here, I know you will help me and I will protect you from the other four so that you won''t get eaten by one of them, gegegege] Gengar said andughed. The Honchkrow still had a long lifespan it didn''t want to get eaten by other pokemons so it decided to help. Gengar [You have to do nothing but spread the news about this game of bidding, who will win the battle the Snox or the king of the Forest the Toxicroak, if their guess is correct they would get three times the amount they paid, payment can be done with rare berries and elemental stones] Gengar said andughed. Hearing Gengar Honchkrow realized what Gengar wanted to do but it is in no condition to question Gengar if it wants to live it has to do what the Gengar said him to do. Gengar [Ah, there is also one thing, spread the news about the other three as well, warn every pokemon about them, I don''t want innocent pokemons being eaten by them as I am the sanest of them, gegegege] Gengar said andughed. Honchkrow didn''t say anything and left if it wants to leave it will do as Gengar has told it to do. Gengar [Gegegege, this is going to be fun] Gengarughed and plucked a berry from the tree and munched on them. _____________________ While all this happened Snox who is the main cause of all this is enjoying his time eating and letting the babies y on top of him, he has no clue what is going on outside this area, as his nature is very peaceful he doesn''t care about anything. Snox [I wonder what the others are doing, hope they bring me some rare berries] Snox said and yawned took a quick nap. Chapter 339 - Flexing Fool As Gengar had said the Honchkrow quickly made few of its followers to spread the rumors all across the forest and also informed about the huge gambling taking ce, hearing that their pay will get tripled if they guessed correct all the pokemons in the forest got excited. Most of them still think that the king will win because they have seen the king defeat the strongest pokemons that live in this forest, they don''t want to believe the rumors saying that the Snox that is new to the forest is actually that strong. ?? So all of them are supporting even though it is cruel, there are still few that want to take their chance and bet on Snox, but the number of these pokemons is extremely small at a 1:10 ratio. Of course, Gengar knew this and he cannot miss this amazing chance of getting everything in his hands. The rumors circted over the forest very quickly, the pokemons under Honchkrow are really efficient in doing what they are told to do, the whole forest soon started to talk about the three scary pokemons that entered the forest, the Tyranitar, Absol, and Infernape, the whole forest knew about this trio as the three killers. And the scariest of the three is indeed Infernape because Gengar''s fun little prank turned serious, now pokemon really believe that Infernape will burn any pokemon that gets in his path. Of course, these rumors went into Tyranitar, Absol and Infernape''s ears and they knew it was none other than Gengar who will pull such a prank since they could do nothing about this they just carried on doing what they are up to. __________________ While walking through the woods Infernape was enjoying his time alone, he won''t get much of his own time because he has to take care of everyone in the team along with Julian''s new pokemon, he has to always be the most reasonable and responsible among all of Julian''s pokemon and the biggest problem he faces is keeping Gengar in check. Now that Gengar is out of his sight he has already caused trouble. Even though Gengar has pulled off this stupid prank of his Infernape doesn''t care right now, he is enjoying his time alone where he doesn''t have any responsibility right now. He finds himself in front of ake, he looked around and saw many pokemons hanging around thiske, he looked around and found a tree to rest and look at theke. When the pokemons present in the forest saw Infernape they got startled, this part of the forest don''t have any Infernapes or any species of its line so seeing one only meant one thing, its the same Infernape from the rumors, all the pokemons present in this area got scared and ran away. Infernape just smiled awkwardly and shook his head, Gengar really pulled off this one. Infernape ''I wonder how Tyranitar and Absol are taking this?'' He thought and sat down under the tree and closed his eyes and listened to the cicadas singing. As he fell asleep he didn''t notice two pokemons heading towards theke, one is a Lopunny, she seems to be in a hurry, she finally stops right in front of theke as she looks around she seems to be running from someone. She looked around and saw Infernape on the side taking a nap, she got startled at first then she remembered the rumor about an Infernape that would burn anyone that gets in front of his sight, causing Lopunny to get scared as well, she tried to get away from here when she suddenly heard someone call her [Lopunny where are you going?] She turned around and saw a Machamp walk out of the woods, this Machamp is the same Machamp that was in the meeting held by Ursaring and the others. Machamp [I will tell you onest time, be my mate, you will be the queen of this forest and rule over all the pokemon, you can have all the berries in the forest with just a word, after today''s event I will take over the whole forest, none of those fools know that I have leveled up and was about to challenge Toxicroak but luckily the Snox appeared making my work a lot easy, now I will be the king of this forest while you be my mate] The Machamp said and flexed his muscles trying to impress the Lopunny. Lopunny [Get lost I don''t want anything from you, I can take care of myself all alone, I don''t need to be a queen to have whatever I want] Lopunny said as she constantly looked at Infernape in fear that he might wake up, in truth Infernape was already up, he just didn''t care about what is happening in the forest, it was not his business to get involved in it. Machamp [I think you don''t understand, I can do whatever I want when I be the king, you will be my mate no matter what] Machamp said and flexed his muscles and looked at Lopunny but noticed that she is looking at a different direction. Machamp [Where are you looking at, check out my perfect muscles, they are so symmetrical] Machamp said andughed. Lopunny [Shut up, we have a bigger problem here] Lopunny said and tried to slowly get away from here, Machamp stopped flexing and looked at the direction where Lopunny is looking at, he also turned around and finally saw the Infernape, he realized why Lopunny was being so wary right now, he had also heard about the rumors about the three monsters that are currently roaming the forest, one is Tyranitar, the other is Snox and the sadistic of them all is the Infernape, but Machamp didn''t believe these rumors, these level of pokemons are not present in this kind of forest. Machamp [Hahaha so you got scared of this spark monkey, let me take care of this monkey for you and show you how strong I am] Machamp said and walked towards Infernape. Infernape ''What an Idiot'' Infernape thought and continued pretending to sleep expecting the Machamp to not make a stupid mistake. Chapter 340 - Tyranitars Suffering Even though Infernape wishes for the Machamp to go away without causing any trouble, he knows idiots like this, his master has always got caught between these kinds of idiots as well. Machamp rushed towards Infernape and swung a punch with his right hand at Infernape using Dynamic Punch. ?? Seeing that this Machamp won''t go easy even on an opponent who is not on guard really pissed of Infernape, Dynamic Punch is a very powerful move but its slow and can easily be dodged if the opponent''s speed is faster than the user. As Machamp''s fist was about tond on Infernape''s face, Infernape moved his head to the side dodging the punch, the punchnded on the tree creating a shockwave as the tree came crashing down, the shockwave caused everything to go wild, the grass on the ground, small stones rolled over and dropped into theke. Machamp is surprised by this, he didn''t expect Infernape to dodge the punch, Infernape opened his eyes and stared straight into Machamp''s eyes. Looking into Infernape''s eyes Machamp froze, his body felt like turning into stone and soon fear crept up his body, he felt scared, he had not felt fear for so many years after reaching the top of this forest but now looking into Infernape''s eyes. Infernape slowly got to his feet and gave a weak uppercut to the Machamp which sent him flying through the sky and disappear, the Machamp didn''t even get a chance to move, it didn''t even see the punch that came towards him. Lopunny who is standing on the side got scared by seeing this, she knew how strong the Machamp was and maybe only the current king of the forest could defeat him but this Infernape just one punched him into the sky. She froze on the spot scared, thinking if Infernape will burn her alive. Infernape [What are you looking at?] He asked. Hearing this Lopunny snapped out of her trance and looked at Infernape. Lopunny [Will you not burn me alive?] She asked. Nothing came up in her mind at this time. Infernape [Why would I burn you, if you have listened to that stupid rumor than it is false, I have no interest in burning pokemons, you can go now] Infernape said and walked towards the next tree and sat down. Infernape [When I meet Gengar I will punch him in the face] Infernape murmured and closed his eyes and went back to his nap, Lopunny just stood there and watched Infernape, she didn''t think that the Infernape was kind enough to let her go after disturbing his sleep. Lopunny ''Now that I think about it, he is not scary at all, instead, he has a very well maintained fur, looks like he is a trainer pokemon and he keeps good care of his body, he is very strong as well'' Lopunny thought and walked towards Infernape. Hearing Lopunny approaching him Infernape opened his eyes and looked at her. Infernape [What do you want?] Lopunny got startled by this sudden question from Infernape. Lopunny [Nothing, I just wanted to say sorry and thank you as well, for taking care of that annoying Machamp] Lopunny said and sat down next to Infernape, this time Infernape was startled by this, this is the first time a female pokemon that is not from Julian''s pokemon is sitting next to him which made him nervous but he didn''t show it on his face or bodynguage. He knows his master is an expert when ites to women so it would be very disappointing if he looses his cool in front of a female pokemon that he has never met before. Infernape ignored Lopunny and kept his eyes closed, Lopunny also didn''t disturb him because she was also very awkward right now, this is the first time a male pokemon didn''te up and talk to her first, this put her in a very weird and unfamiliar situation. __________________ While Infernape is suffering from a weird situation that same thing cannot be said for Tyranitar, during his walk around the forest he got challenged by many pokemons for no reason, when the rumors about a very powerful and evil Tyranitar began spreading across the forest many pokemon that were overconfident in their strength tried to challenge Tyranitar after seeing how slow he walked, his each step would cause the ground to shake and many pokemon thought that they could take advantage of this and bring down the monster to get some fame and rank up in the forest. The powerful the pokemon is the higher its standing is in the forest, so bringing down a pseudo legendary would be really good way to climb up the ranks. Tyranitar just wanted to spend his time alone in peace, whenever Julian stopped for camping and brought out his pokemons, the little Gible would always try to mess with Tyranitar and try to provoke him, even though Gible has been quite after getting a scolding from Julian, he still sometimes treats Tyranitar as a head butting bag. As Tyranitar doesn''t even feel anything from Gible''s attacks Gible started to use Tyranitar as his punching bag as he tries many moves on Tyranitar to test if he has grown stronger or not. Tyranitar being the older and responsible big brother figure to Gible, let''s him do whatever he wants, the only time Tyranitar gets his peace and quiet moment is when Gible is being trained by Julian or he is training with the other little ones. When he heard about the three days free roam in the forest Tyranitar felt great because he doesn''t have to take care of his annoying little brother. But due to Gengar, this happened, now every overconfident pokemon tries to mess with him just because he looks slow due to his massive size, what they don''t know is that Tyranitar is purposely limiting his speed so that he doesn''t create a mini earthquake by walking fast. Chapter 341 - One Shot And Over Tyranitar suddenly found himself in front of an Ursaring, this Ursaring is the previous king of the forest, when Tyranitar was walking around he entered the area habituated by this Ursaring, sensing the low rumbles in the ground Ursaring thought of checking out the source behind it. He then found himself in front of this giant, when he saw Tyranitar many thoughts went through his mind, he has also heard about the three monsters that are roaming the forest, the trio of Tyranitar, Absol and the scariest of the three Infernape. ?? The rumors said that each of these pokemons is extremely powerful so Ursaring is cautious, but he still has his reasons to challenge Tyranitar, power is everything in this forest and defeating a rumored monster will surely boost his reputation once again, even though he is the previous king, at the end of the day he is the fallen king and he has lost his reputation. Even though if the rumors about this Tyranitar is false defeating him would still make Ursaring''s reputation skyrocket. As the battle between Toxicroak and Snox is growing closer, the forest will soon have a new king and like every other strong pokemon Ursaring also wants the spot, and his greed for the throne is more than others because he was once a king, since the day he lost his battle to Toxicroak he isn''t able to gain the same respect the pokemons of the forest gave him when he was the king. Ursaring [Like the rumors have said you look strong but you are going down, think of it as a blessing by taken down by the future king] Ursaring said and charged towards Tyranitar. There was one thing that Tyranitar didn''t like and that is unwanted fights and battle, since the day his mother was killed for no reason he hated a battle that has nothing that would bother him. Seeing the Ursaring charging towards him with his full power Tyranitar got mad and suddenly swung his tail at Ursaring using Iron Tail. Ursaring didn''t expect this the next thing he felt was an unimaginable force crushing through his stomach, the Ursaring was sent crashing through ten trees continuously and into a water pond as the water sshed everywhere. Ursaring is out for good, he won''t wake up for another two days. The pokemons that witnessed this got petrified, they knew how strong the Ursaring was, they were serving him because he provided protection but now he was sent through ten trees with just a single hit. Tyranitar just red at the unconscious Ursaring and walked away without any concern about what the other pokemons around this area are thinking, still he cannot do anything about it because Gengar pulled of this stupid prank, even though Tyranitar is mad he cannot do anything to Gengar as Gengar is a monster that only a few of Julian''s pokemon can handle. Tyranitar decided to let Infernape handle this because he knows the most Gengar fears is Infernape, he would love to see Infernape chase Gengar across the whole forest beating him up. _________________ The same thing happened to Absol as well, when he was training around a rocky hill he was interrupted by a Camerupt, it''s one of the pokemons in the group as well, it also wanted to increase its reputation and told its followers to find this rumored pokemon. After a few of its followers told it that they saw an Absol training on the rocky hill it headed there to defeat Absol. When Camerupt arrived there it saw Absol training alone, it didn''t understand how Absol was training, it just saw Absol standing still. Wasting no time Camerupt walked towards Absol and challenged him. Camerupt [You, you must be the rumored Absol, I am here to defeat you and prove to the whole forest that I am the strongest pokemon in this forest after I defeat you, I will also defeat your fellowpanions and be the new king of this fores] The Camerupt said andughed. Absol looked at Camerupt as if he is an idiot, well he didn''t me Camerupt for being an idiot, spending all their life in the wild has made them wild in nature as well, but while living with Julian ispletely different, he won''t let his pokemon run around like a mindless fool, he forces them to think before doing anything so they don''t get in trouble. Camerupt [Get ready as I am going to destroy you] Camerupt said and charged towards Absol using me Charge, Absol just moved to the side and hit Camerupt with a Night sh sending it tumbling down the rocky hill, as Camerupt reached the bottom it had been knocked out and Absol continued his training once again, he didn''t care about this at all, he knew it is all because of Gengar but at the end of the day only Infernape can put him in his ce, Absol knew this and didn''t make too much fuss about it, when he gets back he will enjoy the show with Tyranitar as they watch Infernape chase Gengar all over the forest. ___________________ While Infernape, Tyranitar, and Absol faced the consequence of Gengar''s little prank, Gengar, on the other hand, is making a profit, he is standing in front of a huge crowd of pokemons as they bid their berries and rare stones on their pick for the winner of today''s battle. Gengar keeps on storing the berries and rare stones in his dimension and gives these pokemon a token so they cane back to reim their profit if they win. Chapter 342 - The Battle As the forest was filled with the discussion between pokemon about the uing battle and who is going to win, the pokemons that took part in the huge betting that just took ce area also excited, for the first time in their life they wanted their current king to win so that their price can be tripled. Snox who has taken a quick nape woke up this afternoon, his stomach is still not full so he cannot go into his monthly sleep so soon. ?? He ate so many berries but he is still not full, his hunger can only be satisfied by Julian''s cooking. The pokemons in this area still served him happily, with his presence no one would try to mess in their area. The pokemon in this area never leaves this area because they have everything here, from food to water, so they don''t know what is happening outside this area. Snox also has no clue that the whole forest is waiting for his battle against Toxicroak, he just wants to eat food and sleep, the life he always wants to live. ________________ While Snox is enjoying his time, his opponent Toxicroak got up from his ce and walked towards Sneasel who seems to be in deep sleep. Toxicroak started at the sleeping Sneasel and kicked it out of its sleep, Sneasel got startled and woke up, it looked around and noticed Toxicroak staring at it. Sneasel [My lord, what is it?] Sneasel asked. Toxicroak [Stop speaking and take me to where this Snox is, its time for me to have a battle] Toxicroak said. Sneasel nodded and got to its feet and started to walk as Toxicroak followed behind, there is a wicked smile on Sneasel''s face because it is one of the pokemons that know Snox strength, no matter how strong Toxicroak is Sneasel knows that he cannot defeat the monster he is about to face. Sneasel didn''t waste time, it directly took Toxicroak towards the area where Snox is staying. When the pokemons in the forest saw Toxicroak heading towards the direction where Snox is staying, they knew that the battle was about to happen and the news spread at a rapid speed, soon all the forest knew that the king is about to battle the Snox, the only strong pokemon that is left is Scizor, when it heard about Toxicroak is about to challenge Snox it tried to find the others but for some reason it couldn''t find anyone of them. Scizor [Did they leave before I got here?] It asked itself and started to head towards the area where the Snox is staying. _________________ Sneasel soon brings Toxicroak right in front of the area where Snox is staying and points at its direction. Sneasel [My lord, the Snox is staying inside that area] Sneasel said. Toxicroak nodded and walked towards the area where Snox is currently feasting on his berries, Toxicroak walked pass through a thick bush and a huge area came in front of his vision, he saw many trees filled with berries, he saw many pokemons that are weak beyond his imagination but his interest was soon captured by the massive pokemon in the middle of the area surrounded with all kinds of delicious and rare berries. Even Toxicroak was surprised to see so many berries in one ce, even his area didn''t have so many. Toxicroak ''So that idiot was telling the truth'' Toxicroak said and looked at Snox, he saw him eating berries one after the other without any care, the other pokemons around the area noticed Toxicroak and one of them gave a warning signal making all of them make a run to their home for safety. But Snox just ignored it, he is too busy eating, he doesn''t care about these trivial matters, Toxicroak saw this and got angry, he is the king of this forest and this Snox isn''t giving him any attention. Toxicroak [Hey you, who do you think you are?] Toxicroak asked but Snox didn''t respond, he didn''t even put those words in his ears, he is too busy eating. Seeing Snoxpletely ignoring him, Toxicroak got frustrated and charged towards Snox, as Snox was about to put the juicy berry in his mouth, he felt the berry disappear from his hand and his mouth shut closed and he didn''t feel anything inside his mouth, he looked around to see where his berry went and finally found it stuck onto the spike on Toxicroak''s fist. Toxicroak [So you finally take a look at me huh, well anyways it useless to beg for mercy now, you are dead meat for disrespecting me] Toxicroak said andughed. Snox, on the other hand, didn''t even care about what Toxicroak just said, he started at the berry on Toxicroak''s spike which quickly started to rot because of the poison on it, Snox got mad seeing this. He looked at Toxicroak and frowned. Snox [Why you take Snox''s food, Snox angry] Snox said and got to his feet. Toxicroak [Good you should be] Toxicroak said and charged towards Snox andnded a powerful Poison Jab right on Snox''s belly. Toxicroak [Haha how does it feel?] Toxicroak said and looked up to see the look of fear in Snox''s face but what he saw caused him to freeze on the spot. Snox was staring at Toxicroak with rage because Toxicroak took away his berry and destroyed it. Snox [Snox''s berry is precious, that berry belonged in Snox''s stomach, but you destroyed it, now Snox smash you] Snox said and brought his hand down on Toxicroak. Chapter 343 - Snorlaxs Wrath Seeing the huge handing down on Toxicroak, his vision went dark as he came under its shadow, sensing the danger, Toxicroak moved out of his spot and backed down, he started to sweat as he realized that he has overestimated himself. He realized that there is no way he can win this battle, the only thing now in Toxicroak''s mind is to make an escape, too bad Snox won''t let him go, he tried to escape but before he could make a run for his life Snox mmed his hands on the ground causing the ground to shake, it was a mini earthquake. ?? Toxicroak lost his bnce and tumbled and fell down. Snox [No one escapes after taking Snox''s food] Snox said and waked towards Toxicroak, right now Toxicroak is petrified, he couldn''t believe his foolish desire to fight someone strong would backfire. His poison was not taking effect on Snox because of one of Snox''s ability Immunity, giving his immunity to poison. Seeing there is no chance of escape Toxicroak thought ofunching an attack. Toxicroak ''He is still a normal type, I have the advantage'' Toxicroak thought and charged towards Snox using Cross Chop, Toxicroaknded the Cross Chop directly on Snox but Snox didn''t even bulge. Due to Snox''s massive size, his speed is very limited so Julian trained him to be the strongest tank in the world, Snox will take damage but when he inflicts it, it''s all over. These very strong moves from Toxicroak are just like an ant trying to bite an elephant, Snox didn''t even feel the hit. Toxicroak realized that he has presented himself in a tter in front of Snox. Snox [Puny Frog] Snox said and chopped straight down on Toxicroak''s head, Toxicroak went down like a rag doll and got stuck on the ground, then Snox grabbed his leg and pealed him of the ground like a stic cover on new items. Snox then swung Toxicroak and mmed him on the ground one again but he didn''t let go of Toxicroak. Snox [No. One. Touches. Snox''s. Food] Snox said while continuously mming Toxicroak on the ground, Toxicroak has already passed out, Snox then spun Toxicroak over his head and threw him very far away. (From that day Toxicroak was nowhere to be found in the forest) Every pokemon who saw this were petrified. Toxicroak was the strongest pokemon in the forest but he got thrown around like a rag doll, the pokemons that live in this area are not surprised by this result but the ones that were spectating the fight have their mouths wide open. Scizor that was also watching the battle had the same reaction, it tried to find the others but it saw no sign of their presence. Scizor [Did they find out about this and made abandoned the mission, I will kill them when I see them, they didn''t even warn me about this] Scizor said and made an exit, it didn''t want to get smashed by Snox like that. Snox then ignored everything and went back to eating once again,pletely forgetting about the Toxicroak he just thrashed a minute ago. _________________ Soon the news about the king getting thrashed by Snox started to spread all over the forest, all of them are shocked by hearing this, their cruel king has fallen and cannot be found anywhere, they all started to wonder who will be the new king. Many thought that Snox will be the new king but seeing Snox just likes eating and sleeping they didn''t think he likes to be the king, another news soon spread out iming Ursaring, Camerupt, and Machamp, the potential candidates for the throne were defeated by the rumored monsters that are roaming the forest, hearing this they were shocked as well. The potential kings are down as well leaving only Honchkrow and Scizor left to im it, so whoever makes the first move will be the new king of the forest. Honchkrow was regretting his life because he has be a worker for Gengar and cannot make his move to be the king, while Scizor is too confused about the happening in the forest. But it didn''t waste time and headed towards the central area and took over bing the new king of the forest. ___________________ Most pokemons that took part in the bet between the fight were devastated when they heard about the result, while the few who ced their bets on Snox were very happy, they charged towards the area where Gengar is staying. They were put in a line when they arrived there to im their winning prize, and they did get three times the amount they paid. Honchkrow was surprised when he saw Gengar give back the prize to the winners, he thought Gengar would steal and run away with everything. Honchkrow [Boss, why are you giving back to them, with your strength you could easily take them away, why care about these weaklings] Honchkrow whispered. Gengar [Gegege, I am greedy but I am not an asshole, if I steal from them I will be going against everything my master has thought me, Gegege and the amount I am giving back isn''t even one percent of the amount I have for myself, Gegegege] Gengar said andughed as he gave berries and crystals to pokemons who had the Snox token. Chapter 344 - Crystals Plan The battle was over and Julian''s pokemon carried on their day peacefully in the forest, as themotion calmed down they were able to move around the forest freely, the rumors about them being vicious also calmed as many pokemon witnessed them helping others. The rumor died down but there were still some who feared them. ?? Infernape is having a very hard time around Lopunny, she seems to be following him everywhere he goes, due to hisck of experience he doesn''t know what to do, so he just gives her the silent treatment. Tyranitar found himself a nice cozy cave which he took over and enjoyed his time alone without worrying about anything for the first time. Absol is able to increase his strength during his training session on the rocky hills. While Gengar is counting his huge gains, tons of berries and elemental stones that he received from the pokemons of this forest is stored in his dimension, going through so many items cost him hours and hours. Snox was still the same, eating and sleeping, nothing bothered him, his only goal is to eat and sleep. ____________________ While his older pokemons are spending their time all alone, Julian is following his new batch across the forest, the nine of them, Crystal, Manaphy, Gible, Cranidos, Victini, Togetic, Luxio, Riolu, and Gliscor. These nine are actually working together very well collecting food in bulk, finding the perfect ce for camping and sleeping for the night, Julian just stayed on the side and watched them do what they can. Today is the second day and the nine have divided themselves into three groups, one group consist of Crystal, Manaphy and Togetic, they are in charge of finding food, the second group consist of Luxray, Riolu, and Gliscor, they are in charge of taking care of the camp, while the third group consist of Gible, Victini, and Cranidos, they are in charge of defense if a wild pokemons interfere and attack them. Julian just sat on the side and watched his pokemon do what they can in the forest, they trained on their own, ate on their own and yed with each other without relying on him. Julian ''Looks like they can handle living in the forest without me, once they are strong enough I should let them walk around alone and survive in the forest, speaking of which what might the others be doing'' Julian thought, the most he was worried about is Gengar, he likes to pull off pranks which can sometimes cause big problems but he knows Gengar won''t do anything wrong so he decided to wait till tomorrow and see what his older pokemons did. Julian saw Crystal, Manaphy, and Togetic leaving the campsite. Julian ''They must be heading out in search for food, let''s see what they bring back'' Julian thought as he saw them disappear into the forest. The three soon started to find berries and anything that could be edible, the three work together in finding the perfect ones, Crystal was in charge of telling if a berry is poisonous or not, Crystal has already adapted several types and Poison is one of the earliest type Crystal had adapted to so its control over poison is very good. Manaphy brings berries to Crystal and Crystal confirms if the berry is poisonous or not, as they do this they didn''t realize that the number of berries that they collected grabbed the attention of some pokemons. It is actually a heard of Taillows, these pokemons are aggressive, when they are in a group even powerful pokemons stay away from them because they keep attacking even after getting hit. They get up and attack again, they are feisty and charge at even the scariest pokemon. These heard of Taillows that consist of more than a hundred carefully looked at the huge pile of berries the three pokemon have collected. These wild Taillows are wild and will try to snatch food from any pokemon they think they can handle, seeing that these three are just small and don''t look so strong the heard of Taillow decided to snatch away their food. Crystal, Manaphy, and Togetic started to y around as they finished collecting all the berries, suddenly Crystal noticed something weird, it noticed that they were surrounded by a punch of pokemons, at first it thought that these pokemons just lived here but sensing the aura around the area Crystal knew that they are going to attack. Crystal stopped and looked around and giggled, it then floated towards Manaphy and Togetic and called them closer to tell them something. Crystal [Guyse here] Crystal whispered and called Manaphy and Togetic towards it, Manaphy and Togetic looked at each other and headed towards Crystal to see why Crystal is speaking in such a low voice. Manaphy and Togetic gave their ears to Crystal as it started to whisper into their ears about its n, hearing what Crystal told them, both of them giggled and looked at each other. They didn''t try to look around so that the Taillows don''t figure out, that they know about there presence. They did as Crystal told them to do and pretended that they didn''t know anything about it, they continued ying as they waited for the Taillows to make a move. Chapter 345 - The Rule Of The Forest The hundred of Taillows that are watching Crystal, Manaphy and Togetic waited for the perfect moment to make a move, they want the three to move a little far from the pile of berries so they can storm in and take away everything. Crystal has already prepared a n for its guest, it has instructed Manaphy and Togetic to move away little from the berries but not in an instant which may cause the Taillows to get wary. ?? Manaphy and Togetic did as Crystal said and started to y and move away from the berries slowly, it seemed natural to the Taillows as thy saw Manaphy and Togetic move away from the berries, they looked at Crystal and saw its back turned to them while it is looking for more berries. Seeing their chance the Taillows charged towards the berries. Seeing the Taillows have been caught in their trap, Crystal giggled while putting its tiny hands over its mouth and signaled Manaphy to make a move. Manaphy raised up and created a Whirlpool and sent it towards the heard of Taillow, this caught them by surprise but it was toote, the Whirlpool crashed on them and sucked them into it, Manaphy didn''t stop there and with its increased control over its power it started to spin the Whirlpool even faster. Togetic then moved in, she used Ancient Power and sent multiple rocks towards the Whirlpool, the Whirlpool sucked up the rocks sent by Togetic and started to blend it with the Taillows, the Taillows are now getting thrashed by the rocks inside the Whirlpool, they didn''t expect all of them to be caught in this huge Whirlpool and then get thrashed in it by huge rocks. Crystal giggled seeing this and then the outer area of the red crystal on its head changed into yellow as sparks surrounded it. Crystal changed its typing to Electric and then sent out a powerful ThunderBolt towards the Whirlpool, this is the final blow. The ThunderBolt spread all across the Whirlpool and zapped the living hell out of all the Taillows, they were already in a very bad condition getting hit by the rocks at high speed inside the Whirlpool, but due to their nature they somehow survived but it was getting worse every time they get sted by the rocks and now this zapping high voltage electricity zapped the hell out of them causing every Taillow to faint inside the Whirlpool. Seeing that it has worked Crystal giggled once again and told Manaphy to handle the rest, Manaphy also giggled and tossed the Whirlpool far away from their sight. These three little ones who stood no chance against these huge heard of Taillows just destroyed all of them easily with their teamwork. They improved their teamwork a lot after spending a day in the forest without relying on Julian, at first without Julianmanding them they made many mistakes but they soon got hold of it, they still make stupid mistakes but Julian doesn''t interfere, he just watches as how they ovee and solve the problem they are in right now. Crystal [Come guys let''s go, ~meeeeeew~] Crystal says and uses Sticky Web and tie up the huge pile of berries, during one of the training session in the previous forest Crystal came across an Ariados and fought it gaining the Bug-type, it soon learned moves like Sticky Web and Signal Beam. Crystal has adapted to many typing in these past few months, the remaining are rock, and steel, it is because Julian doesn''t know how to make Crystal adapt to them, these three types are mostly hard physical types, he cannot just tell Cranidos to smash into Crystal''s forehead to see if Crystal absorbs their energy, he does n for Crystal to adapt to Steel typing by calling in Metagross and train it with him so it can adapt to Steel. After Crystal adapts to both Rock and Steel, it will be able to change into any type of pokemon it wants with its will. Crystal, Manaphy, and Togetic hold one end of the web and lift it off the ground and carry them back to the camp where the others are staying. ___________________ This is a forest and even campsite is not safe, with none of Julian''s old pokemon around and their scary aura to chase away the annoying pokemons away, the little ones have to defend the campsite. If things go horribly wrong Julian is always there to step up and instruct them to fight their opponents, but he won''t do that unless there is no chance of winning. As the others prepare stuff for the camping sight, hungry eyes are still watching them, many of Julian''s pokemons can be considered food for many wild pokemons, most of them are still not evolved and they don''t have their parents with them to protect them, and Julian''s existence is irrelevant to them as humans don''t have the power to defeat them. But these wild pokemons are still careful, there are six in this group and the ones who have been watching for quite a while know that there are nine in total so they have to wait for one of the idiots to make a move. Luckily for many pokemons, these idiots seem to have arrived, a pack of Mightyena consisting four of them, they were just passing through the forest when they saw this bunch of little pokemons moving around, they looked around and found no parent pokemons protecting them expect a human. So they decided to attack, they are wild and have spent their lives in the wild most of them don''t know how scary a pokemon trainer with bunch of trainer pokemons that are trained to fight can be, they do hear about pokemons under trainer and how strong they are but at the end of the day they are still wild and follow the rule of the forest where the strong eats the weak. They won''t believe that a trainer''s pokemon is stronger than them unless they get beaten up by one of them. Seeing so many small pokemons and only one fully grown one the Mightyenas decided to make a move. Chapter 346 - Gabite The Mightyenas rushed into the campsite and growled at Julian''s six pokemon present here, as soon as the Mightyenas rushed in Gible, Cranidos and Victini moved in as well and blocked them off. Julian nced at these Mightyenas and nodded his head, his pokemons should be able to defend themselves very easily, even though they are small they are powerful, Gible is very close to evolution and Cranidos is not that behind and might evolve within a month as well. ?? He is also keeping an eye on the pokemons that have been watching them for quite a long time but they are still no match for the trio of Gible, Cranidos, and Victini. The Mightyenas are surprised by the sudden blockage from these three tiny pokemons, they didn''t expect anyone of these pokemons to stand up, they thought they would y the usual cat and mouse chase they are used to with their prey. The Mightyenas growled and stared at Gible, Cranidos, and Victini, they knew this will be a fight and they are confident in winning this due to their four in number against three small pokemons. The leader of the pack made a move and used Crunch at Gible, Gible grinned and charged towards Mightyena using Dragon w. He charged towards the big dark jaw and shattered itpletely andnded the Dragon w right on the pack leader''s head sending it flying and crashing on the tree, the Mightyena wailed in pain and realized that the enemy is stronger than it. Cranidos also made his move and charged towards the other Mightyena using Headbutt, the Headbuttnded on the chest of the Mightyena and caved it in and sent it flying and it also crashed on top of its pack leader. Victini suddenly used Teleport and appeared right behind another Mightyena and used Fire Punch and sted it away as the Mightyena was rolled over the ground and crashed into another tree. Three Mightyenas are down and only one is left, Gible gets excited and hops around and gets ready to give the final blow but suddenly stops as his body suddenly started to glow. His height starts to grow along with his arms and legs, de-like fins started to grow from his arms and legs, his tail grew longer and another fin grew on it. As the glow disappeared Gible has evolved into Gabite, the ck and red color over his body looked magnificent, he has lost his fingers and gained onerge hook-like w in front of his arms, his legs have be much thicker and the ws in them are long and sharp. Julian smiled seeing this, he was expecting Gible to evolve and he did, his evolution looks quite healthy, standing far taller than any normal Gabite with his shiny rough scales. Seeing Gible evolve all the other pokemons also got excited and surrounded him in curiousness, as they were distracted thest Mightyena tried to make a silent escape but before it could Gabite turned around and shot towards it as his two arms got surrounded by Dragon energy, Gabite learned Dual Chop. Gabitended the first chop right on the Mightyena''s head sending it crashing on the ground and when it bounced from the ground Gabitended a side chop and sent the Mightyena crashing into its pack members. All Mightyenas are down and Gible has evolved into Gabite, Gabite is happy and hops around happily. Julian sees this andughs, when it was just Gible it looked very cute but now he has evolved into thisnd Dragon Shark he looks menacing when he does that but he is still a kid at heart so Julian still sees him as his little partner. Crystal, Manaphy, and Togetic arrive back and suddenly notice the difference in the group, they notice that their friend Gible has evolved into Gabite, the little bouncing pokemon is no more little, he is now even taller than Gliscor who was the tallest in their group. They drop the berries and rush towards Gabite to check him out, Crystal, Manaphy, and Togetic move around him seeing every part of his body. Crystal giggles and starts to hang on his back fin with its two tail swinging around, this causes Gabite to get irritated and tries to shake Crystal off but the more he shook, it got more fun for Crystal. Gabite stopped because he knew how Crystal is, the more you argue with it the more you let Crystal have fun with you. As Gabite expected after he stopped Crystal got bored and let go of his back fin. Soon the others started to make preparation for the night as well, they trained with each other after having few berries Crystal and the other brought. In the practice battle, Gabite just dominated everybody because of his massive power gain, this caused Crystal to get mad and started tosh on Gabite with Ice attacks which forced Gabite to run around the ce. If it was a serious battle Gabite would stay and fight but at the end of the day they are family and friends, its all fun and games so Gabite yed along with Crystal The day was about toe to an end, Julian just watched his pokemons or talked with Chloe and Daisy as his past time. It was also a break for his as well, he didn''t have to train them like every day, these two days also helped him set his mind back and talk to his girlfriends and see what are they doing in their life. They did miss him and they even gave him hints that they might be free ande to visit him but he was not given an exact date. Julian couldn''t do anything else but to keep expectation that Chloe and Daisy mighte to visit him. Chapter 347 - Gengar Is Beaten Up The third day also went away very soon, Julian and his Sinnoh batch moved their location further into the forest to explore more, his older pokemons also spent their time alone in the forest except for Infernape who was followed by the Lopunny where ever he went. The third day is about toe to an end so Julian took charge, he sent the pokemons back to their Pokeball and walked back towards the area where he separated from his pokemons. ?? After traveling for hours he finally arrived outside the area, he noticed there were many pokemons inside the area, he saw some cracks on the ground and some broken trees on the side. Julian ''What happened here?'' He thought and walked in, as he did he saw many pokemons around Snox covered with berries, noticing Julian all the pokemons made a rush towards their homes, some of them peeked outside to see what this human is doing here, some of them recognized Julian as they have seen him before. Julian looks around and sees berries and fruits everywhere and in the middle is Snox who is sleeping peacefully. Julian shakes his head and walks towards Snox and wakes him up, Snox scratches his stomach, yawns and get up and looks around, he sees Julian and gets happy and bear hug him. Julian feels suffocated and tells Snox to let go of him. Julian "Look at you just eating and sleeping, you should train a little or you will get rusty" Julian said to Snox. Snox nodded and picked up some berries and eat it, he passed one to Julian and told him to eat it as well, Julian smiles and takes a bite at the berry as well. He gets surprised by how sweet this berry actually is, these berries are better than anyone he had in this forest. Julian "These are good berries, I can use them to make some delicious pie" Julian said and picked up some berries for himself, he then waited there for a while before one of his pokemon came back, Absol came and saw Julian and Snox waiting for him, Absol rubbed his head on Julian''s hand happily. Tyranitar came next and with every step he took, the ground shook causing many small pokemon on trees to lose their bnce and their parents would rush in to catch them. Then Infernape also walked in followed by Lopunny. Julian and his pokemon turned around and looked at Infernape, the Lopunny got scared seeing so many scary pokemons and hid behind Infernape. Julian was dumbfounded by this, he didn''t expect Infernape to bring someone with him. Infernape just blushed and turned around and told Lopunny to leave, Gengar also arrived around looked around and saw Infernape with Lopunny. Gengar [Gegegege, Infernape, why don''t you introduce us to your new girlfriend] Gengar said andughed. Hearing this Lopunny blushed and Infernape got pissed, Gengar had already ruined his time with that stupid rumor he started and now he has to guts to make fun of him in front of everyone. Snox, Tyranitar, and Absol knew that Gengar is now going to get buried so they slowly backed off, Julian also joined them and surrounded the whole area with his omniforce so that Infernape won''t cause a devastating forest fire. Gengarughed and turned towards his other mates to make more fun but he suddenly stoppedughing as he saw Snox, Tyranitar, and Absol have moved very far away from him, even Julian was with them. They all had a smile on their face, it was not a genuinely happy smile, it was a smile stating that they are sorry for not being of any help, Gengar realized that he is in trouble and started to sweat, he slowly turned aroundughing awkwardly to take a look at Infernape. He freezes as he sees Infernape staring at him with red eyes, Gengarughs awkwardly and takes a step back and another one, he slowly tries to get away but Infernape is in a very bad mood. He charges at Gengar with speed beyond human eyes could see andnds a straight punch on Gengar, as he knows Foresight, it not hard for Infernape to inflict pain on Gengar. Gengar screams and runs around in fear of getting punched again, he tries to hide in the shadows but Infernape would just erase them with the light from his mes leaving Gengar for no ce to hide. Infernape chase Gengar around the area and beats him ck and blue until Gengar falls on the ground exhausted and unable to move, he has not received a beating like this for quite a while. Julian couldn''t let go of this chance and had called out his Sinnoh pokemons to see the fun, it is entertainment to them as well as a learning process, even they know that their big brothers Infernape and Gengar are very powerful, they have not seen them in action. When Julian''s Sinnoh pokemon saw how fast Gengar and Infernape were and they were only able to see after images and feel the shockwave of their movement they got a glimpse of how powerful their Master''s old pokemon really are. They saw the always cocky big brother of theirs, Gengar, get beaten to a pulp by Infernape in front of their eyes, all of themughed and giggled seeing Gengar in such a state. Even Tyranitar and Absol enjoyed this, they were always bullied by Gengar in a fun way but they were still irritated by him, seeing him beaten up was really satisfying to them. Julian alsoughed and finally stopped Infernape. Julian "Ok, Infernape you can stop, he should have learned his lesson" Julian said and patted Infernape''s head to calm him down. Gengar was knocked out as his body was covered with smoke, Infernape did st him with a lot of fire moves. Julian took out a special type of berry and fed it to Gengar which helped him regain his consciousness, Gengarughed and apologized to Infernape. Infernape just ignored him and walked towards Lopunny and told her to leave, he exined that he has to leave with his master and cannot be with her. This made Lopunny sad and she ran into the forest, Infernape sighed and walked back to Julian. Julian also sighed seeing this, Infernape had finally made a friend who is not from his group of pokemons but she is a wild one and a fully grown one as well. Taking care of her would be hard as her wild tendencies will be with her. If she gets lucky she might meet a good trainer who could train her. He has no ce in his team and Infernape understood it as well so he said Lopunny to leave. Julian "Don''t worry we cane back and we can meet her" Julian said and smiled. Infernape blushes and looks away, Julian just smiles seeing this. Chapter 348 - Challenging The Pastoria Gym With the new king in the forest, all the old pokemon got their territories back allowing the wild rouge to gain their home back. It was time for Julian to leave as well, the training session is over and he needs to go to Pastoria city to challenge the next gym. ?? He doesn''t waste his time and sends all of his pokemon back to their Pokeball and hits the road again on his bike. Luckily the city is very close to this forest so he didn''t have to camp in the forest, he soon arrived at the main road and followed it into the city. After hours of riding, he finally saw Pastoria city far away. Julian ''Pastoria city, the only thing in this city is the Great Marsh, I should be able to move out of this city and head back to the west'' Julian thought, he still has to challenge onest gym from the west side of Sinnoh, the gym in Canve city, it is said that the gym leader of Canve is very strong, one of the strongest trainers in Sinnoh after the elite four so Julian is excited to see what Byron the gym leader of Canve gym has for him. Julian erases the thought of Canve and focuses on Pastoria as his next battle is with Crasher Wake, known for his aggressive battling style, he would let his pokemons get hit and deliver a more powerful move in return. Even though the strategy sounds stupid it has worked for his as his pokemons are a powerhouse with high defense stats. He soon enters the city with his face covered with the cloth mask, its the same as always he sees people and pokemon existing together but it''s still different, every city has a different vibe, their culture is very different and their lifestyle as well. That is why Julian likes traveling, he can experience many different cultures along with his pokemons. He soon arrived in front of a hotel and walked into and took a room for himself, he told the manager to keep quite about his arrival and went into his room. He soon took a bath as soon as he entered the room, he had spent three days in the forest without any proper water source. After getting fresh he sat down in front of theputer to have a quick look at his opponent and see what he has in his arsenal. He logged into the inte and searched about Crasher Wake, soon a page opened and he found some information on Crasher Wake. After scrolling down over the page he finds Crasher Wake has three pokemons that he uses to battle challengers, Quagsire, Gyarados and his ace a Floatzel. Quagsire is his first pokemon with simr attack and defense stats, he sends out Quagsire first every time to test the challenger''s strength and weakness while his Gyarados is a powerful physical attacker with strong Special Defense. His Floatzel is the odd one out in his team, it has a very powerful with high Physical Attack stats butcks in both Physical and Special Defense, but its speed is also very high making it a high-speed attacker. Julian didn''t understand why would Crasher Wake train his pokemon is speed when his battle strategy is to take direct hits from the opponent. Julian ''Does his Floatzel know any powerful defensive move?'' He thought and started to search it on the inte but he couldn''t find one, he sighed and decided to not care about it. Julian ''I don''t have anything else to do in this city, I should just challenge him today and leave tomorrow, no use of staying here'' Julian thought and closed theputer and walked out of the hotel and headed straight towards the gym, his pokemons have already trained enough so they should be able to put on a good fight. It doesn''t take him long to arrive outside the gym. From the outside, it looks like a huge stadium, he looks around and finds no one so he walks in, once he enters he sees a girl standing on the receptionist desk. Girl "Sir, what is the purpose of your visit?" She asks. Julian "I am here to challenge the gym leader" He says and looks at her. Girl "Then please walk in, I will inform the gym leader about this, you will see him on the battlefield" She says and points towards the direction of the battlefield. Julian nods and walks towards the direction, as he walks in he sees arge battlefield covered in water, there are some circr disks in the middle of the battlefield for pokemons with feet to run around, this battlefield is well suited for a water type pokemon. Julian realized why Crasher Wake trained his Floatzel in speed, with water everywhere it would act as a shield, water is known for stopping many attacks. While his Floatzel will act fast and heavy attacks with speed while using the water as its shield. Julian ''Well this will be interesting, let''s see how strong his Floatzel really is'' Julian thought and wait for Crasher Wake. Chapter 349 - Julian Vs Crasher Wake He didn''t have to wait for long because Crasher Wake walked in with big strides, he is a huge man with very wide shoulders and he is wearing a weird outfit. He has a weird-looking thing over his face, Julian couldn''t just exin how it looked, he is wearing blue and ck trouser with yellow boots and belt. ?? Wake "So you are the challenger huh?" Crasher Wake stood over his spot and looked at Julian, he has not had a challenger for several days now, thest time he battled against a kid who used fire and ground type pokemon against him and finally won on his third try. Crasher didn''t understand what the kid wanted but he still defeated him atst. Julian "Yes, and let''s get this done with" Julian said. Wake "Cocky aren''t ya, I will show you why they call me Crasher Wake" Wake said and pped his hand, soon the same woman that was at the reception walked in wearing a referee uniform. She then started to exin the rules of this battle, it is the same as every other gym with three pokemon in use while only the challenger is allowed to switch the pokemon during the battle. Julian agreed with the rules, he wanted to get this over quickly so he can n to move back to the west of Sinnoh. He decided to finish this fast. Referee "You both may choose your pokemons" The referee made her call, with that Wake sent out his first pokemon Quagsire, as Julian had expected Wake sent his Quagsire as his first pokemon, Julian tossed his Pokeball and sent out Gabite as his first pokemon. Since he ns to finish this quickly he doesn''t have to y around, he could use Luxio but Quagsire is immune to electric type attacks so he would be wasting a lot of time and he wants to finish off his opponent quickly. Referee "Are both trainers ready?" She asks to which both of them nod their heads. Referee "Then, let the battle begin" With the wave of her hand, the referee starts the battle. Wake doesn''t waste time and makes the first move. Wake "Use Ice Beam" Julian "Counter with methrower" As Quagsire used Ice Beam Gabite answered with a powerful methrower which easily destroyed the Ice Beam and hit Quagsire afterward, the methrower engulfed Quagsire but it didn''t cause much damage due to its superb resistance against fire type moves. Julian "Now Dual Chop" As Julian gave themand Gabite dove into the water and jet through it like a shark he is, he moved so fast that Wake didn''t get the chance to call out a move, Gabite shot out of the water andnded two powerful Dual Chops right on top of Quagsire''s head, Quagsire''s head went numb and went on its butt as it sat down confused. Julian "Now Iron Tail" Gabite made a fast turn and gave a roundhouse tail swing using Iron Tail and sent Quagsire flying out of the battlefield right behind Crasher Wake. Crasher Wake is surprised by seeing this, he didn''t expect his Quagsire to just fall in two moves but he realized that the Gabite is way more powerful than his whole team, he knew even his Floatzel cannot take those hits. Wake "I won''t give up so easily, go Gyarados" Wake called his Quagsire back to its Pokeball and sent out his tank Gyarados, his Gyarados is the tank of his team, he trained it to withstand even powerful electric type attacks, his Gyarados can take four to five powerful electric attacks before fainting but between that time his Gyarados would have already finished its opponent with its powerful attacks. Julian "Gabite return" Julian called back Gabite and took out his next Pokeball and tossed it up in the air, out came Luxio and stood on one of the small tforms and looked at the giant in front of him. Wake "I see, you want to use a type advantage now but it won''t work on my Gyarados" Wake said andughed Julian "Luxio, Thunder, full power" Whit Julian''smand Luxio went all out with this attack, suddenly the whole battlefield was filled with static currents causing hairs to stand up. Dark clouds formed on the roof as electricity started to bulk up inside it, it pped caused a thunderous sound. Seeing this Wake realized that things are about to go bad. Wake "Gyarados quick use Hydro Pump" Wake gave the instruction but it was toote, the lightning bolt descended down and engulfed Gyarados, Gyarados felt electricity running through its body as it tried to resist the pain and stay conscious but it overestimated itself, after a second it came crashing down and sshed on the water sending it everywhere. It was over in one powerful move, Gyarados is knocked out cold. Referee "Gyarados is unable to battle, Luxio wins" The referee gave her announcement stating Luxio''s win, Wake was shaken by this, he had never seen a thunder this powerful inside a building. Due to limited space, Thunder cannot be used to its full extent, the bigger the thunder cloud the stronger the lightning bolt. Wake frowned and looked at Julian''s Luxio, it is breathing lightly, meaning he used a significant amount of power behind that attack. Wake didn''t say much and called back his Gyarados to send out his final Pokemon. Wake "Floatzel let''s go" He sent out his ace, Floatzel. Wake "This time I won''t go down so easily" Wake said and looked determined to take out Julian''s Luxio. Chapter 350 - Julian Vs Crasher Wake (2) Julian "Luxio let''s finish this quickly" Julian said, hearing him Luxio nodded. ?? Luxio is very close to evolving again, after his first evolution he trained a lot mastering his element, Julian expects both Luxio and Cranidos to evolve at the same time, maybe a few days to a weak apart from each other. This battle will act as another training battle for Luxio to build up his technique and power. Wake "Floatzel, the opponent will get tired we will take them down, use Water Pulse" Floatzel created a huge ball of water and shot it at Luxio at high speed, the Water Pulse left a trail behind the water surface as it ripped through the air. Seeing how powerful the move was Julian is impressed. Julian "Use Thunderbolt" Luxio countered with Thunderbolt and shot it towards the Water Pulse, the lightning bolt shot right through the Water Pulse destroying itpletely and continued towards Floatzel. Wake "Floatzel in the water" Floatzel moved fast and dived into the water dodging the Thunderbolt and disappeared from Luxio''s sight. Julian "Be on guard" Julian said. He knew Floatzels can move very silently inside water making them the perfect ambush hunters in water, Luxio still cannot use his eyes to see through things like his evolution, and being on a floating tform really limits his senses, he cannot pinpoint his opponent who is underwater but he isn''t worried, being an electric typees with some nice move sets. As soon as Floatzeles out and tries tond a heavy blow on Luxio on his blind spot, Julian is already on Floatzel. Julian "Now, Discharge" As Luxio hears Julian, he doesn''t even care about his opponent and just uses Discharge sending wide-area lightning bolts everywhere and one of the caught Floatzel. Floatzel didn''t expect this, it got zapped hard and crashed back into the water but it was not over there, the electricity continued zapping it underwater which is being released by Luxio. After Luxio stops, Floatzel slowly rises to the surface, exhausted and hurt, as it doesn''t have a high Special Defense it couldn''t take that Discharge at point-nk range. Wake "Floatzel can you continue?" Wake asked. He knew that attack caused a lot of damage to Floatzel, Floatzel nods its head saying that it can continue, they thought that they can tackle by using the water to blend in and attack Floatzel on his blind spot. They now have to make another strategy to take down Luxio. Julian "Luxio, let''s finish this, Night sh" With Julian''smand, Luxio charged towards the wounded Floatzel using the floating tforms, seeing Luxio making a physical move both Wake and Floatzel are surprised but this was also their chance, they cannot let go of this opportunity, their opponent isn''t even using an Electric-type attack which won''t cause heavy damage to Floatzel. Wake "Floatzel, let''s do this, Aqua Jet" Floatzel surrounds itself in ayer of water and shoots towards Luxio at high speed, both of them are running towards each other and they are about to sh, as they get very close to each other, Luxio suddenly slows down and his long sharp ws that are hidden inside his pawes sticking out sparking with electricity. Julian "Now" As Julian says this, Luxio jumps up and get over and on top of Floatzel while it''s still using Aqua Jet and digs his w and grabs onto Floatzel, soon after Floatzel gets electrocuted crazily and with the water covering its body the effect is doubled, causing Floatzel toe crashing down over the water. Luxio get''s off Floatzel and jumps on top of the floating tform near him and stares into the water, Luxios generate and store their electricity in their paws which circte through their ws, so getting directly in tough with them can be devastating. With that attack that came out of nowhere there is no way Floatzel could survive that, and as Julian had expected Floatzel surfaced to the toppletely fainted. Referee "Floatzel is unable to battle, Luxio wins, hence the winner of this battle is the challenger" The referee gave her result hence closing this battle, Luxio is tired as he used too much of his electricity, he slowly walks back to Julian. Julian smiles and pats his head. Julian "You did great, you can rest now" He said and sent Luxio back to his Pokeball. Crasher Wake looked at his unconscious Floatzel and sighs, he sends it back to its Pokeball and looks at Julian. Wake "You are very strong, I didn''t stand a chance" Wake said and took out a badge and tossed it towards Julian, Julian snatched it out of the air and looked at Fen Badge, it''s a round blue and silver badge, Julian smiles and walks out of the gym. As he had expected this battle will be over soon, these type of trainers are very easy to handle for Julian because they only rely on brute force, yes it may work if the opponent is weak but if the opponent is very strong its just digging up their own grave, but Julian has nothing toin about everyone has their own battle style and if they and their pokemon arefortable with it he has nothing to care about it. He heads back to his hotel room to check out and leave, after entering the hotel he soon checks out and gets on his bike and is ready to leave, but suddenly he was stopped at the end of the city''s exit by Officer Jenny. Julian "What is it, Officer Jenny?" Chapter 351 - Hunter J Julian "What''s wrong, Officer Jenny?" Julian asks as he looks at the police checking everyone who entered and exited the city. ?? Jenny "There seem to be pokemon poachers smuggling rare pokemons through this city, every person who enters and exist this city needs to be checked, show me your ID and remove that mask" Officer Jenny said and looked suspiciously at Julian as he is covering his face in broad daylight. Julian "Aa, about that" Julian said and passed his ID to Officer Jenny, she frowned and took the ID and took a look at it and froze, she couldn''t believe what she is holding right now, she nced at Julian once again and saw him show his face for a second to confirm that it is him. She was about to scream from excitement but before she could Julian covered her mouth and prevented her from screaming. Julian "Shhhh, it will cause amotion" Julian whispered. Officer Jenny nodded and looked at him, it seemed like her eyes would never leave him. Julian "Well officer Jenny, can you tell me about these hunters?" Julian asked. Jenny "Ah, yes, this very dangerous pokemon hunter who goes by the name Hunter J, she has been under our radar for years, she is cruel and won''t stop no matter what when ites to stealing and hunting pokemons to sell in the ck market" Jenny started to exin Julian about Hunter J, Julian remembered this woman, she was one of those characters that didn''t get too much screen time but still, she had a huge impact. Julian on the other hand really hates hunters, maybe because his Tyranitar might have been their victim if he had not arrived there on time, so whenever he hears about some hunter he would try to catch them. Julian "Do you have any idea where she would be hiding?" Julian asked. Jenny "Yes, she should be hiding in the rocky mountains on the way, I have sent a team to search for her, one of my cousins is also with them" Jenny said. Julian nodded and left through the city, he decided to go to the rocky mountains and see if Hunter J would be interested in his pokemons. Julian "Crystal, why don''t you sit on my shoulder for the rest of the journey" Julian said. Hearing this Crystal happily came out of his pocket and sat on his shoulder as it looked around curiously, being in the pocket limited its vision to 180 degrees but now it can have a full 360-degree view. Crystal is happy so it swings its tail side to side as Julian rides off. __________________ After riding for hours he finally arrives at the rocky mountains, this is a region where many trainers won''t visit because the pokemons living here are very aggressive and they will attack on-sight, only powerful trainerse here to train with their pokemon. Julian put his bike away and decided to make his way through these mountains on foot. With Crystal on his shoulder and Gengar in his shadow, he didn''t care about getting attacked, what he wants is to grab this Hunter J attention and Crystal is the perfect candidate for it, even though it is a shitty idea to put Crystal as bait but with Gengar by his side he doesn''t have to worry and even he can take care of some pokemons on his own as well. He started to go through the valleys between the mountains because he would be will definitely get in the radar of some hunters, and Julian is not wrong as he enters a valley he is already under the eyes of few men. These men are wearing a grey suit with a protective Ker vest over them, they have their binocrs over their face watching Julian as he walks through the valley. These men are the ones who work under Hunter J, they would do anything to make her happy and right now they got their chance. Henchman 1 "Hey, look at that pokemon on his shoulder, I have never seen one of those before?" One of them said. Henchman 2 "Yes, I have never seen it before as well, should we go and steal it?" The other henchman asked. Henchman 3 "No, we should inform the Boss first, look at that trainer he is traveling alone and hase all this way, that means he is a strong trainer, we should not underestimate him and tell the boss" The fat henchman said. Henchman 1 "I agree, you go and inform boss, we will keep an eye on him" The fat henchman nodded and left to inform Hunter J. The fat henchman soon arrived in front of a cave, he nervously moved forward as he looked around, he looked at the gigantic Smence in front of the cave staring at him, he gulped down and walked forward. The Smence growled at the fat henchman and he stopped his steps and silently waited outside without making a sound, after some time a woman with short silver hair wearing a dark purple coat with red cloths under it, she is wearing a weird gadget over her left arm and some high tech sses over her eyes. Hunter J "What is it?" She asked as she looked at the fat henchman. Fat Henchman "Boss, we spotted a pokemon that has never seen before with a trainer, so I came to inform you" This caught Hunter J''s attention and became curious. Hunter J "Tell me more, how does it look?" Fat Henchman "Its a very small pokemon, it has two tails and a red crystal on its forehead" The fat henchman said. Hunter J "Did you try to capture it?" She asked. Fat Henchman "No, the trainer is traveling alone in the valleys and he doesn''t seem to be bothered by his environment, so we estimated him to be a powerful trainer who hase here for training, so we decided it was a good idea to inform you first" Hunter J nodded and sat on her Smence. Hunter J "Take me to where this trainer is, I want to see what this pokemon looks like in person" She said and signaled the fat henchman to make his way. Chapter 352 - Hunter J (2) The Fat Henchman brought Hunter J towards the area where they have been camping, noticed their boss the other henchmen stood up and saluted her, she nodded at them and walked towards the edge. Hunter J "So where is the trainer with this mysterious pokemon?" ?? She asked. Henchman 1 "Boss, I have been keeping an eye on him, he is not far away" The Henchman said. Hunter J "Hmm, lead the way" She said and followed the henchmen as they marched towards where Julian is currently staying, soon Hunter J and the henchmen arrive over a mountain road and look down, Hunter J sees a man wearing a long ck coat with a ck face mask over his face. She then presses a button on the side of her sses to zoom in to see the pokemon on his shoulder, she finally gets a clear view of the pokemon her henchmen informed her about. Hunter J ''Wait is that a Mew? No, it''s not, but it''s very familiar to all those carvings I have been researching recently, Giovanni said he wanted me to find a Mew, and this one seems very simr to it, I guess I am lucky today'' Hunter J smiles as she looks at the little pokemon on the trainer''s shoulder. Hunter J "We are going to snatch it, the target is on sight, no need to wait, everyone move" She gave an order and sat down on her Smence as she watched her henchmen make their way towards the trainer in ck. ____________________ Julian already noticed that he is being watched and it didn''t take long for them to rush towards him. Julian ''Looks like their patience has ended'' Julian thought and smiled. Suddenly he got surrounded by a group of men in grey, while all of them had a grin on their face, seeing all these men, Crystal got confused and looked at Julian but it saw Julian have a smile on his face, a smile it has never seen before but it felt excited seeing this smile. Julian "So who are you people and why are you blocking my path?" Julian asked with a smile on his face. Seeing that the trainer was still calm even after being surrounded the henchmen knew that this trainer in front of them is confident in his powers, the same could be said for Hunter J who is watching from the sky on her Smence. Even she is surprised that this trainer is not nervous being surrounded by so many men in the middle of nowhere where there is no witness or any external force to save him. Henchman 1 "You handover that pokemon on your shoulder and we will let you go without hurting you. If you don''t, forget about meeting anyone you are familiar with because we will kill you" The henchman said andughed. Julian "Is there no third option?" Julian asked as the smile on his face never faded away, too bad this smile couldn''t be seen by the other party. Henchman 2 "Do you think this is a joke, hand over that pokemon and get lost, don''t waste our time" The henchman shouted. Julian "From what I can tell none of you are in charge, let me talk to thatdy up there, I can negotiate with her" Julian said and pointed at the sky, the henchmen frowned but didn''t say anything, suddenly a powerful gush of wind blew sending dust flying everywhere and a gigantic Smencended in front of the henchmen. Hunter J made her appearance as she stared at Julian. Hunter J "I don''t care about anything and won''t negotiate, hand over that pokemon and don''t waste my time, I have other things to do" Hunter J said. Julian "I think you don''t understand what I meant by negotiating, the term negotiate here means should I just send you all to the police station or break each and every one of your legs then send you to the police station, what do you say Hunter J" Julian said and looked at Hunter J. Hearing this Hunter J frowned, she didn''t expect her target to talk back to her. Hunter J "So you work with the league or something, they have been trying to catch me but all their attempts are failures, if you are one of those agents than your luck hase to an end, you will be my Smence''s food" Hunter J said. Julian "No, No, No, you got mepletely wrong, I am just a rouge trainer traveling around the world, you see there is a massive bounty on your head so handing you over the police will make me rich, nothing else" Julian said. Hunter J "Dream On" She said and suddenly lifted her left arm and shot a bead at Julian, Julian just moved to the side and dodged the beam, he looked back to where the beam touched and saw the sand turn hard into stone. Julian "You know it''s not a good idea to shoot weird things at someone who can be your worst nightmare, it always turns very ugly" Julian said. Hunter J frowned, she didn''t expect the man in ck to dodge that, she thought of petrifying him and take away the pokemon on his shoulder but her n failed, seeing that her first attempt has failed she knows she cannot pull this off again. Hunter J "Take him down" She gave the order to which her henchmen took out a lot of Pokeball and tossed it up in the air suddenly, hundreds of pokemon surrounded Julian, the group of pokemons mostly consisted of Golbats, Crobats, Skarmory and a bunch of Metang. Julian is surprised by how many pokemon these men have and they seem to have the same species in bulk. Julian ''They all must be stolen, there is no way these bunch of losers can capture so many pokemons'' Julian thought and took a look around. Hunter J "Scared? Well too bad there is no escape now, you will just die just like anyone that tried to be brave and confront me thinking they can capture me" Hunter J said andughed. Chapter 353 - Handing Over To The League Julian "Who said I am scared, I am here to have fun and you should be the one who should really be scared" Julian said and smiled. ?? Hunter J "You are delusional, men take him down and kill him, capture that pokemon" Hunter J gave the order to which her menmanded they heard of pokemon to charge towards Julian. Seeing this small army of pokemon rushing towards him a smirk appeared over his face. Julian "Gengar" As Julian called his name, the entire area went cold stopping every pokemon in their path. Gengar "GEGEGEGEGEGEGEGE" After a second all of them heard this terrifying chillingugh as the surrounding became even colder, even the Smence felt cold and scared. Hunter J got chills all over her body as she looked around to see what is happening. Her men were also frozen on their spot, they felt fear, they are more scaredpared to the pokemon they sent out. Soon the ground below them started to go dark as if a huge shadow is looming over them but they couldn''t see any stature in front of them, the shadow below them was ck in color, it didn''t look like a normal shadow at all, the men on the ground felt their souls escaping our of their body by witnessing the dark shadow taking over the whole area. Seeing this Hunter J tried to escape and patted her Smence to fly away but before it could even p its wings, dark chains shot out of the shadow and tied Smence''s legs rendering it unable to move at all, these chains then slowly started to move up onto its body like snakes as they got even deeper grip of Smence, the chains even tied up its wings and mouth. The Smence is shaken from fear and starts to struggle to get out causing Hunter J to fall on the ground. Gengar "Gegegegegege" She heard theugh once again and is finally able to see the culprit behind this scary shadow, she saw a ck figuree out from the ck trainer''s shadow, she finally saw the Gengar. She looked into the deep red eyes on Gengar and froze, she felt scared like never before, the way Gengar looked at her gave her chills, she regretted confronting this ck trainer. The other pokemons that were sent by her men also were experiencing the same thing, they felt fear and the only thought they had right now is to flee and that is what they did, some of them snapped out of their state and made an escape for their life, seeing few of them escaping all of them joined them. Soon everything became silent again, all of their pokemons have fled from the battlefield and things are looking pretty bad for the hunter''s side, they pokemon are no more to protect them and on the other side is a monster waiting to do whatever its trainer''s say. They were in his mercy, they looked at their boss and saw her on the ground crouched up scared, for some reason their boss seems to have received trauma and they couldn''t exin how. Julian "It''s useless, she won''t be able to recover, you all should just give up as well" Julian said. Hearing this the hunters took a step back and tried to escape. Julian "Who told you to leave?" Julian said and signaled Gengar to put them to sleep, Gengar then used Hypnosis and sent everyone to sleep. Julian "Now that this is over, I should call someone to take them away" Julian says and takes out his phone and calls the main headquarters of the league here in Sinnoh. When the other side revived the call they started to panic for a second, they didn''t expect Julian the most well-known champion is the history, they knew that Julian doesn''t like to work for the league but he has helped them many times, stopping Groudon and Kyogre, stopping Giovanni and many other things, even though they didn''t ask for it they knew that Julian knows that he has helped them a lot. The CEO of the headquarters picked up the call to answer it, the people in the room also held their breaths, they knew Julian is in Sinnoh so it can be anything. CEO "Hello Mister Julian, do you need something?" The CEO asked. Julian "No, I don''t need anything, I caught these bunch of hunters and this Hunter J as well, I wanted some special force to be sent and collect them, I have had handed them to the police they might have done something to escape" Julian said. CEO "What? You caught Hunter J?" Julian "Yes, is there a problem?" Julian asked. CEO "Not at all, we had been trying really hard to grab a hold of her and Champion Cynthia and the elite four are too busy to go after her, any special force we sent behind her were all found dead" Julian "Oh, then send a task force to this location, I will be waiting" Julian said and ended the call. Back in the league headquarters in Sinnoh the CEO put the phone down and looked at the group of people in front of him. "Did he really capture Hunter J?" One of them asked. CEO "Yes, he said it himself and luckily he asked us to send a special Task Force, quick send a team out there, the location will be sent to their trackers" The CEO gave the order and the others nodded, capturing Hunter J is a huge deal for them, the ck market of the pokemon world is heavily dependent on her and the people who run these markets are the people of the underworld and they are powerful people that the League have been keeping an eye on for years. Hunter J can provide some useful information about them to the League. The appearance of Julian had stopped these people from making any moves, they had nned many things but once they heard about this trainer who is ridiculously strong they stopped in their tracks. At the end of the day, a strong trainer with powerful pokemons is way more dangerous than any man-made weapon and they know about it from the wars that were fought in the past. Chapter 354 - Members Of The Underworld Julian didn''t have to wait long before he noticed a chopper and a hover ship heading towards his direction, he knew that it was the League from the uniform the men were wearing inside. The choppernded in front of him causing Crystal to cover its eyes as it let it''s tail wave around in the strong wind. ?? Crystal once again opened its eyes and looked at the men it heavy Ker armor with guns in their hand and few pokemons by their side. League Agent "Sir Julian we havee to collect the hunters" The leader of the group spoke respectfully to Julian, Julian nodded and showed the sleeping hunters to the Agents, these hunters are currently suffering in their dreams as Gengar had some fun with them and Julian didn''t stop him. These hunters have killed so many pokemon and people and they deserve the worst Gengar can offer to them. These hunters won''t be able to sleep peacefully again scared of the dreams they are going to have and Julian thinks this is really the best punishment of them, for a person to not get his sleep is the worst thing that could happen, a man can survive without water and food for days but he skips sleep for days it would be a huge trauma for the person. Meanwhile Hunter J is suffering from apletely different thing, the way Gengar looked at her made her mentally unstable, she couldn''t control the fear in her and she has lost her mind, it will take her years to recover from this trauma Gengar put her through, as for her Smence, Julian handed it over to the agents. The Agents then tied up the hunters and put them in their hover ship while they put Hunter J in the chopper, her priority was more than the others so they had to keep an eye on her 24/7. League Agent "Sir Julian we will be taking our leave then" The Agent said and walked into the chopper followed by his subordinates, Julian watched as the chopper and the hovership flew away from his sight. Julian "Well this is done so let''s head towards the west" Julian said and made his way out of the rocky mountains. ______________________ The Chopper and Hovership headed towards the direction of Sunyshore city as it is where the headquarters of the League is situated in Sinnoh, what they didn''t notice that they are already under the watch of few men in ck suits looking through their binocrs. Man "Take them down" The Man in the front gave an order to his men to bring the hovership and the chopper down, the men behind him nodded and tossed their pokeballs up in the air, then a bunch of flying type pokemons consisting of Fearow, Aerodactyl, Crobat, Skarmory, Tropius, and Mandibuzz came out, their trainers sat on them as they charged towards the chopper and the hovership. The pilot that is flying the chopper notice foreign objects heading towards in the radar and warns the Head Agent. Pilot "Sir some people areing towards the chopper" Hearing this the Head Agent looks out and suddenly gets shot by a Razor Leaves catching him off guard and causing him to fall out of the chopper and go down crashing into the depths of the rocky mountains. Seeing their leader taken out the other Agents quickly take their stance. Agent 1 "On your guard, we are under attack" the Agent said and he loaded his gun peeked outside, he saw a bunch of men in ck with their faces covered chasing them. He shot a few bullets at them but one of the pokemon used Protect to deflect them all. The men in ck charged towards the chopper and hovership and surrounded them, they then tossed a few weird looking tes at the hovership and the chopper which attached to them like mas. One of the men in ck charged forward on his Mandibuzz and arrived right under the chopper, he then used a see-through device to locate where Hunter J is and suddenly made a hole under her feet causing her to fall right in his arms. Seeing this the Agents tried to stop him by shooting at him while their pokemons also attacked but it was useless the Mandibuzz he is riding is very strong and fast, it dodged some of the attacks and rippled the bullets with Protect. The man then made an escape with Hunter J in his arms, the other men who were with him also moved away from the chopper and the hovership, then one of them took out a small remote control and showed it to the agents on the chopper. Agent "Shit" As he said that, the man in ck pressed the button and the tes that were attached to the chopper and the hovership suddenly sparked sending out a special maic field with short-circuited their entire system and made both the chopper and the hovership catch on fire and lose control, the two then went down crashing into the deep valley. Two huge explosions were them heard after a few minutes, it would be a miracle if anyone survived that fall, those tes that were attached to the chopper and the hovership also acted as an amplifier for the explosion so the damage done by them is bigger the more they are. The men in ck came back to their camp sight with Hunter J, they put her to the side and headed back to their chief. "Chief we brought her back" The man who had carried her here said. Chief "How is her condition?" "She seems to have been suffering from Mental Trauma, we don''t know when she will recover" The man in ck said. Chief "Its good that one of our spies in the league informed us about her being captured by the Champion Julian, if she had fallen under the League''s control it would have been a catastrophe" He said and looked at Hunter J who still is shaking while murmuring something on her own. Chief "As the rumors have said that man is a monster, tell every member of the faction to be careful and not get caught by him" "Yes Chief" The man in ck said and walked away. Chief ''Like Giovanni said, that man is a monster, we cannot be noticed by him or our fate may be the same as those that tried to challenge him, Giovanni is a stubborn bastard and was able to gain back his full power from the resource he had collected, but we cannot afford to get in his eyes, our resources are for the greater benefits for the underworld and we cannot lose any of it'' The Chief thought and closed his eyes. Chapter 355 - The League Panics Back in the League headquarters things were going pretty well when suddenly an alert message appeared in the control room, some employees who are in the room quickly got to their work to see what has happened. They suddenly realized that the team that went to take Hunter J have lost their connection with the main headquarters, this caused the men inside the room to panic and they bolted out of the room to inform their superiors. ?? Employee "Sir we have a problem" The Employee ran into the conference room where they were having a meeting. "You, what happened?" One of the important men in the room asked as he saw the worried face on the employee. Employee "Sir, the team that went to bring Hunter J and her men have lost contact, we cannot track their hovership or chopper" When they heard what the employee just said everyone panicked as well. CEO "What happened?" The CEO asked as he got up from his chair. Employee "We don''t know, our connection to them was lost in a second, we tried to track down the vessels but we didn''t get any response, it is most likely that the chopper and the hovership has crashed" The Employee said in a light voice but it was still clearly heard by everyone as the room was very silent. CEO "Quick send out another team to theirst location to find out what happened" He gave an order causing chaos to fall in the meeting room once again. ____________________ Somewhere in Sinnoh, underground in a hidden facility, there are many men and women in ck uniform, they all seem to be busy with their own work, they didn''t care about what the person next to them are doing, they are just concentrated on their own work, they asionally ask for help from the person next to them. Deep into this underground base inside a room filled with beds and people in whiteb coats, they are surrounding a woman on the bed, they seem to be doctors, behind these doctors is a middle-aged man with ck hair and ck eyes, he is staring at the woman on the bed, she is still cautious and murmuring something, her eyes are open but it looks like she is not able tomunicate with them. He is a special member of one of the underground faction. "How is her condition?" He asked the doctors. Doctor "She is in a weird state, it''s like she is dreaming something very bad, she is repeating the same words again and again, we don''t know how to bring her out of this state, for now, we can only provide her with liquid food to keep her alive" The doctor said. "What is she murmuring?" The middle-aged man asked. Doctor "She is constantly asking for forgiveness, we don''t know why she is doing this though, it may be rted to her past" The Doctor said. "Fine, keep her in check, she might be useless right now but when she recovers she should get back to work" The man said and walked out of the room, noticing the man walk away these doctors sighed in relief, the middle-aged man is very scary. The doctors then went back to their work as they monitor Hunter J and keep her vitals in check. _____________________ Julian got out of the rocky mountains after walking for hours, after he could see that the road was clear again, he took out his bike and made his way towards Hearthome city as its the closest to the rocky mountains. Julian "Hearthome city it is then, I should get some rest and refill my stocks as well, my pokemons have started eating a lot as some of them are close to evolving again" He said and rode away towards Hearthome. After traveling for a day he finally reached Hearthome city, he then rented a room in the same hotel as before and decided to take a rest, after getting into his room he took a quick shower and sat in front of the TV to see what''s going on around Sinnoh and other regions, he switched through channels, he suddenly stopped as he saw Chloe on TV, he was surprised by this. Julian "Is it a reality show? what is she doing there?" He questioned as he looked at the TV in interest. Host "Our special guest today is Chloe, she is a rising star in the film industry and she is also the girlfriend of the very famous trainer Julian, please give her a warm round of apuse" The host introduced Chloe to the audience, the audience pped loudly as they weed Chloe, Chloe has be very famous as she started her career, she still hasn''t done any movies or TV shows but she has been working as a model and she also gained a lot of following in the inte as well and being Julian''s girlfriend made people interested in her as well. Chloe "Thank you for having me, it''s like a dreame true being here in this studio" Chloe said and smiled. Host "You''re wee, we are also d to have you" The Host said happily. Chloe "Thankyou" Host "By the way, I heard from a secret source that you are soon going to star in an uing TV series" The Host asked causing Chloe to get awkward. Chloe "This, I don''t know where you heard this from, but I cannot talk about it" Chloe said andughed awkwardly. The Host knew he screwed up by releasing a piece of information that seems to be ssified so he decided to fix it, he is new to this show and he decided to do some of his own research and heard about this rumor of Chloe having a TV series of her own. He thought of covering it on the show but seeing Chloe''s reaction he fucked up. Host "Haha, I was just joking, I just tried to y and see if you really have a showing up or not" The host said and changed the subject and started to ask her about her life and how she met Julian and all the things the public are interested in. Julian was also surprised by what he heard in the show. Julian ''Is she really getting a TV show, from her expression she might be getting one, I should ask her'' Julian thought. Chapter 356 - The Cults Plan If Chloe is really getting a TV series for herself Julian will be very happy for her, he watched as Chloe got interviewed and after that, they yed some games after the show was over Julian changed the channel to see what''s on the news. As he switched on to the news channel he saw the background on the screen is the rocky mountains, seeing this Julian frowned. ?? News Reporter "The hovership and the chopper are found fully burnt, there seems to be no survivor, the bodies are burnt badly making it unable to identify the identities of the people inside the hovership and the chopper, it looks like the agents of the League will be taking over this case" The News Reporter reported about this, hearing this the frown on his face became deeper. Julian ''Wait, don''t tell me they got attacked?'' Julian thought, what was the chances of a high-end chopper and hovership which are being driven by professional pilots would crash and the way the bodies of hovership and the chopper are burnt it was not just a normal crash, it clearly looks like an explosion to Julian. He knows what an exploded flying vehicle looks like. Julian ''I should confirm about this'' He thought and called the league directly. CEO "Sir Julian, what is the reason for your call?" The CEO himself answered to Julian. Julian "I saw the news, is it true, did someone attack them?" Julian asked. CEO "It seems so, they were attacked, we suspect them to be the people who run the underworld in Sinnoh and the neighboring regions" The CEO said. Julian "Underworld? Do you know what they are after?" Julian asked CEO "They are most wanted criminals who are charged with murders and trafficking, they still haven''t done anything that could be considered a threat to the whole region so you can leave it to us, we will handle it" The CEO said Julian "If you say so" Julian said and ended the call. He looked back at the TV and saw the rubbles left behind the crash site. Julian ''Underworld, these people exist here as well, a human''s greed would never end, I just hope the league handle these group and they are not a threat and cause trouble like those idiots Team Gctic'' Julian thought and suddenly started to wonder what Team Gctic is doing right now, but his stream of thought was disrupted by Crystal as it started to annoy him for some MooMoo milk, Julian snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Crystal who keeps poking his cheek asking for MooMoo milk. He sighs and takes out a bottle of milk and gave it to Crystal. Since it was already afternoon he decided to feed the others as well, he called out his Sinnoh team and gave them their afternoon food and let them watch the TV while he took a little nap on the bed. _____________________ On the northeast side of Sinnoh on the Stark Mountain range, a group of men in ck robe were roaming around the mountain, they seem to be in search of something. After hours of searching, they found no lead to what they are searching for and returned to a cave, deep inside the cave an old man with hunched back was kneeling in front of a giant statue of Giratina. "Oh Lord, please bless us with your power so we can bring forth the disaster that you seek, we, your followers will do whatever it takes to bring justice to you" The Old man prayed in front of the Giratina statue as he offered his own blood by cutting his own wrist after then he got up and walked back to heal his wound, he sprinkled some powder on the cut and it healed in an instant. The Old man then looked at the men in the robe in front of him. "What is it?" He asked. "Lord, we cannot find the cave that you told us about, we have covered the whole mountain" One of the men said in a low and scared voice. "Nonsense, the cave really do exist, if we are able to find the cave, I can have ess to the power of the gods from which I can create an Orb that will be capable of bringing the lord to this world" The Old man said and sent his men back to work for searching this mysterious cave. "I will find it no matter what, and once I have, our god will bestow upon me his power to destroy this corrupted world and start a new one, hahahahahahaha" The Old man said andughed like a maniac. The men under him are always scared of this old man because they believed that the Old man could speak to their lord, he is satanic in his activities if a member of the cult makes a mistake they would be killed in the name of sacrifice to offer their blood to Giratina so that Giratina bestows them the power they seek. And every person in this cult thinks the same, they think they are better dead, used as a sacrifice for their lord than be alive, these teachings have been brainwashed into these men by the Old man. If anyone were to see what they do in this cult they would get sick. It was a bunch of cultists who have an extreme overview of something and will do anything to make something happen that they believe in. Chapter 357 - Canalave City Julian woke up and found all of his pokemon sleeping on the floor beside each other, he smiled and sent them back to their Pokeball, he looked out and saw it was evening and he didn''t do anything special today. He decided to give Chloe a call and ask her about the TV series. ?? Chloe "Hello?" Chloe answered. Julian "How are you and Daisy doing?" Julian asked. Chloe "We are doing fine, Daisy has been doing very well as well, she has already started her career and she will be with me the whole time from now onward" Chloe said. Julian "Be with you? aren''t you two always together?" Julian asked. Chloe "Yes, but she had other clients who requested her to groom their pokemon and she had very little time for herself, but now it''s different, she will be a part of my team" Chloe said. Julian "Is it because of that TV series deal?" He asked. Chloe "Yes, I was about to tell you that I will be staring as a lead in this TV series where I am a secret agent" Chloe said excitedly. Julian "Then this must be easy for you, you have already had all the knowledge of a secret agent" Julian said and chuckled. Chloe "Yes, I easily won that audition, if I had not taken that audition I would have still been in training camp" Julian "Good, so Daisy will the main groomer of your team then?" Chloe "Yes, she was very happy when she heard about this" Julian "So has the shooting started already?" He asked. Chloe "Its a surprise, you will know when that happens" Chloe said and chuckled. Julian "Here you go again" Julian said andughed as well. Chloe "Ok, I have some stuff going on so I have to go, I miss you, babe, hope to see you soon" Julian "Same, hope to see you soon, love you" Julian ended the call. Having nothing to do Julian decided to call it a day and go back to sleep after feeding his pokemons. The next day Julian heads out to the market to stock up his good and get away from this city, his next destination is Canve city where he will face the gym leader of the Canve gym. After refilling his stocks he goes back to the hotel and checks out and hits the road once again as he heads towards the west where Canve city is located. After riding for days he finally arrived at Canve city, he has not been in this city before even though he visited the valley nearby to catch Gible, he didn''t want to waste his time visiting a city where he has nothing to do, he knew he won''t be able to challenge the pokemons in the gym at the start of his journey but right now his pokemons are ready. He looked at this huge city in front of hi, like the Oreburgh city where they are rock mines everywhere, Canve city is the home of the steel industry, the mines present here have tons of metal, people have been mining here for thousands and thousands of years, Canve city is one of the main cities of Sinnoh due to its huge metal and steel industries. Julian walked into the city to see huge buildings and many construction sites, he saw most people walking around with steel type pokemons, the poption of steel type pokemons are very high in this city, there are many wild steel type pokemons in the mines in the city, Julian decided to look around the city and find a hotel to stay while he research on his opponent. He has heard that the gym leader of Canve is very strong 95% of his first battle with the challengers is a win, his win record for the second battle with the same challenger is 60% and most of the challengers are able to defeat him on their third challenge. Seeing this Julian is definitely impressed, it shows that even though the gym leader''s pokemon are not the strongest they are the strongest at a simr level, the ones who defeated him in the first round were trainers who had Pokemon that were stronger than his. So Julian is excited to battle this gym leader called Byron, he is also the father of the Roark the gym leader of the Oreburgh gym. Julian soon finds a hotel room for himself and gets some rest, riding for three days was mentally tiring to him, after getting some rest he decided to look up about Byron and what are his pokemons. He gets in front of theputer and searches for Byron, soon a page pops up disying all his wins and losses when he was young and information about his current gym. He has three pokemons that he uses to battle his challengers, a Bronzor which seems to have evolved recently into a Bronzong, a Steelix and a Bastiodon which his also his ace, seeing this team Julian could tell Byron focuses on Defense more than anything, all his pokemons are monsters when ites to Defense, his Steelix should have the hardest Physical Defense, while his Bastiodon has powerful Defense on both Physical and Special side. Julian "Landing the attacks would be easy but to make them count is tricky, looks like I should train them a little before challenging Byron" Julian said and turned off theputer. Chapter 358 - Weapon Training After looking at Byron''s pokemon Julian knew his pokemon need a little more physical power to take down his opponent, the pokemons he may use to battle Byron are Riolu, Gabite, and Victini, Riolu being the fighting type should be able to connect some powerful physical attacks while Victini being the fire special attacker and Gabite being the all-rounder. He got out of the hotel and visited an abandoned mine so that he could train his pokemon, once he arrived there, he called out his pokemons and they started doing their usual training session. ?? Julian focused on Riolu and Victini as they need more training right now, Gabite has improved significantly after evolving, being a Pseudo Legendary really had its advantages, his body now could control his dragon energy more efficiently, first he was having a hard time perfecting his dragon side as its a chaotic power of this world. Dragon-type pokemons are always known as the most dominant typing even though they do have their weaknesses, but still, Dragon-type is also the most adaptive type as well, they can learn many type of moves proving their versatility. While Gabite trained with others Julian trained Riolu and Victini, Riolu still has some work to do as she perfects her Physical Attack, her control over her aura is good and Julian doesn''t need to work on that, he didn''t want to strain her small body into mastering such a force, he is waiting for her to evolve so he can guide her on it. As for Victini, he made it train in controlling its firepower, its control over its Psychic energy is way better than its Fire as Psychic is its primary typing. He wants Victini to be able to fully control its fire type moves so that it can unlock its signature move, V-Create. It''s still far from using that move, Victini has tried to use that move but would always end in exhaustion, it would get exhausted and not be able to train for hours. Julian realized that V-Create takes away a lot of its energy and it could still not perform it, he knew Victini has to grow a lot stronger if it wants to use the move. The training started and both Riolu and Victini are working hard, they trained and battled with each other while Julian looked over them. Victini did win every bout they had between them but Riolu didn''t give up, she would get up and challenge Victini again, Julian then stopped them and started to train Riolu alone, Victini did better than he expected so he let it get trained by Infernape while he looks after Riolu. Since they are battling a steel type gym only hard-hitting attacks would be able to cause damage so Julian decided to train Riolu is controlling her aura in such a way that she can create her own weapon shape from it, for now, she only knows how to make a baton from the aura, he thought of teaching her how to make real-life weapons from it, like war hammers, they are the best way to damage some heavy physical defense pokemon. At first, Riolu was having a hard time understanding on how to make a hammer-like shape but she soon got used to it and was able to make a hammer but it was still not close to what Julian had visioned, after hours of training Riolu was finally able to make a war hammer from her aura. As she was sessful Julian started to teach her how to use a war hammer properly in a fight, due too war hammer being a huge weapon its momentum is slow but that won''t affect Riolu as it''s her own aura, it''s weightless to her. At first, she is very sloppy, a pokemon using a weapon like a human was very funny, even though the weapon was weightless she still had a hard time handling it, after training for so long, she is able to learn the smile attacks like the spin and uppercuts properly. She still had a lot to do, Julian found a new way for training Riolu as well, he is a weapon specialist but he was never able to use it or teach his pokemon, he could teach them martial arts like Infernape but never weapon handling as they cannot convert their energy into a physical form but with Riolu things seems different. She can turn her aura into a physical object and turn it into any type of weapon she wants and use them if Julian is able to pass down his weapon technique to Riolu she would be a force to reckon with. But for now, he focuses on teaching her how to use a war hammer properly. The day came to an end and he returned back to his hotel. _______________ The same thing went for 3 days, Julian woulde to this abandoned mining field and train his pokemon, Riolu will train in the art of weaponry as Julian teaches her everything he knows. His other pokemon also got interested in this because this was apletely new way of training they had seen but unlucky for them they couldn''t train in it properly. Riolu kept on improving slowly, she still has a lot to learn but she is ready for the battle. As the final day of training ended both Victini and Riolu are ready for this battle. Chapter 359 - Cynthia And Julian Julian came back to his hotel room and decided to treat his pokemon for today, he searched the inte to see the best pokemon restaurant in this city and decided to go there. Since everyone has worked hard they need some fun time. ?? He called the restaurant and told them about his visit, he also made sure to tell them to make a lot of food because his Snox is about to awake and that should be today or tomorrow, but with the smell of food he would just wake up and eat a lot and go back to sleep again. Snox is the only pokemon is his team that doesn''t need any training, but sometimes when he is awake Julian trains him a lot so he doesn''t get rusty when the timees. Hearing that Julian himself ising to their restaurant the manager of the restaurant got excited and informed the owner as well. The owner of the restaurant also got excited and rushed to his restaurant and told every worker who was on break to rush back to the restaurant to work overtime, the workers also didn''t deny the owner because they also wanted to see Julian as he is the most famous champion in history, of course this didn''t go unnoticed by the public, they heard that Julian is in the city and things got heated, people were genuinely excited to meet Julian if they got the chance, many of his fans rushed towards the restaurant where he is said toe but they were all stopped by the security at the entrance. Manager "Everyone please calm down, Mr. Julian has told that he is hearing so that his pokemons can rx so we don''t want anymotion, only a few members who have already made a reservation can enter" The manager said and went back, when Julian called he told that he would cancel the previous reservation of other people but Julian said not too, he didn''t want to use his name to book the entire restaurant. It didn''t just stop at the fans, even some news reporters rushed towards the restaurant to see if Julian has arrived or not. While he is still in his hotel room and looking at the TV, he is surprised by how fast the news travel, he didn''t expect the news about him visiting the restaurant would spread so fast, as he is already used to being surrounded by people he isn''t worried about the crowd so he doesn''t bother with it. He has dealt with an evenrger crowd than this. As it was about time to leave he left the hotel room. ___________________ The public was not the only one who is interested in meeting Julian, some rich and influential people who live in the city wanted to get in as well, they tried to get in by contacting the owner and booking a reservation for their pokemons but some of them were toote, as soon as the information about Julian hit the ears of some influential people they contacted the owner and reserved a ce for their pokemons as well. Another person who is in the city also wants to meet Julian once again, she had met him before but she couldn''t recognize him because she had no connection to him, but now she has realized that she had missed the opportunity before and cannot miss it once again, she decided to use her name and get into the restaurant as well. When she called the owner and told him about her arrival, he got stunned, he couldn''t believe that not only the Julian ising to his restaurant but the current champion of Sinnoh is also visiting. Yes Cynthia is in the city, she came here for her Garchomp, when she was little she met her Gible in the Canve valley as well so she decided toe with her Garchomp and take her back to her birthce and see if her pride is still living there. She didn''t expect Julian to be in Canve city as well, so she decided to give him a visit. When she reached the restaurant, she saw the huge crowd outside, even she was shocked at how many people are here, even she wouldn''t have gathered this big of a crowd. Cynthia ''No wonder he moves around with his face hidden, even I would not be able to handle such a big crowd'' Cynthia thought and entered the restaurant through the back door because that is where the owner of the restaurant told her toe, he knew that arrival of another champion would cause a biggermotion and there might just be a stampede which he didn''t want in front of his restaurant. Owner "Champion Cynthia, I am really honored to have you here, pleasee in" The Owner who was just waiting outside the backdoor weed her, the owner is still nervous while talking to Cynthia as she is one of the strongest known champions in the world, some even tell she is as good as Julian but with no battle between them and the mostmon thing between Julian and Cynthia is that both of them have defeated Lance. Cynthia "Thankyou Mr. Spark for excepting my request, I know it was out of the blue but I need to meet Mr. Julian" Cynthia said. Owner "No problem, Miss Cynthia, you could have asked me anything and I would do it for you" The Owner ttered her. Cynthia "By the way, may I ask you why Mr. Julian ising here?" She asked, even though this is a pokemon restaurant people like Julian won''te to such a small ce, she has seen how rich Julian is, he owns a million-dorpany so she doubted Julian''s cause ofing here. She had met many champions in her life and battled with them, some of them were decent and earned her respect while some of them were just arrogant people who had tasted their fame so much that they didn''t care about the normal masses. Julian had always been a mysterious person for her, for him to abandon the most precious position a person can ask in this world and travel the world was very weird, even she is tempted by this position and has been keeping a hold of it but not Julian, he didn''t even lose it, he just gave it up as if it was nothing to him. She thought that he did this because he wanted to focus on his business and didn''t have the time to look after a region. She always wanted to meet him and have a talk with him in person and today she ns to do it. Chapter 360 - Meeting Cynthia Again As she is already here Cynthia calls out her pokemons so they can enjoy there time here, at the end of the day this facility is built for pokemons and their enjoyment. She had six pokemons with her, her main team consisting of Spiritomb, Gastrodon, Roserade, ceon, Milotic, and her ace Garchomp. ?? The owner was very excited to meet these pokemons as they all are superstars in their own way, they also have their own action figures with their name just like Julian''s pokemon. Cynthia took a seat and waited for Julian to arrive, like her, many influential people came here, if a person who knew nothing about today''s even would think that this is a party filled with the influential people of the city. Outside the restaurant, many fans of Julian waited outside with their phones and camera, they were ready to charge at him as soon as he arrived, few news reporters were also waiting outside waiting for Julian. ___________________ Back at the hotel, Julian is ready to leave, he puts on his mask and gets out of the hotel and rides of towards the restaurant, he knows that there will be lots of people there. Julian ''Can I even go through the back door?'' Julian thought, he knows how crazy things can get if they started a stampede. He soon arrived at the restaurant and saw the huge crowd in front of the restaurant, he saw huge guards keeping the crowd out of the restaurant. Julian ''There are more people here than I thought'' He thought and decided to park his bike behind the restaurant but as he drove there, he saw few reporters hiding there with their camera, too bad he couldn''t escape from them because his bike made the noise even if he tried to stay quiet. The reporters turned their heads and looked at the person on the bike and seeing him wearing a mask they got suspicious, one of them rushed towards Julian and started to take his pictures. Seeing this Julian sighed. Reporter "You are the Champion Julian right, can I please have an interview with you?" The reporter asked. The other reporters also rushed in to ask questions, hearing themotioning from behind, they saw some reporters surrounding Julian and they knew it was Julian as well, soon a huge crowd surrounded Julian while they clicked his picture. Reporter "Mister Julian, why are you here? are you thinking ofpeting in the uing league as well?" One reporter asked. Julian "I am just here to treat my pokemons, and yes I will bepeting in the league" He said Julian sighed, he couldn''t escape from the masses, luckily for him, the owner also noticed this and sent his men to clear it up. Soon few huge men came in and pushed the reporters away to make way for Julian, Julian then drove and parked his bike and walked into the restaurant where he was greeted by the hotel manager and few staff members. Owner "Wee Mister Julian, we have been waiting for you, pleasee in" The Owner said and brought Julian to the main hall where most of the things happen, there arerge rooms specifically for pokemons to stay and rest in, they would be treated there. There is also a ce for the trainers, just like a normal restaurant there are tables and chairs for trainers to hang out and eat, even though this restaurant is for pokemons, trainers can still eat dinner here. Julian "I hope you prepared a lot of food, my Snox won''t stop eating until he is full" Julian said. Owner "Don''t worry Mister Julian, we have used a whole month of stock to prepare food for your pokemons" Hearing this Julian sighed, Snox could easily eat a month ration in one go so he was a little worried if the restaurant can make such a huge amount. The owner then brought Julian towards his booth where his pokemons can stay and enjoy their time, when he reached there he saw this huge room filled with everything he could imagine, hot water bath, fountains, some fruits and lots of bed for his pokemons to rest. Julian "Its good" Julian said and brought out his pokemons, as his pokemons came out they started to look around, Crystal came out of his pocket and joined its friends. Gabite looked around and started to go around looking all over the ce, seeing Gabite being so forward the others joined him, his older pokemons just stood there and looked at him. Julian "Don''t look at me, just enjoy your time here, anything you want they will provide you so don''t worry" Julian said. He then looked at the Owner. Julian "I will leave them in your hands" Julian said. Owner "Don''t worry Mister Julian, leave it to use, my best men are at work" The Owner said. Julian "Thankyou" Julian said and walked away with the owner while his pokemons started to y around, his Sinnoh pokemons yed their usual game of tag while the older ones yed their own game where they created energy ball and shoot it at others like dodge ball, luckily they are not using even a quarter of their power and the room is very spacious. Soon the maids of the restaurant brought their food to them, Snox who was just sleeping peacefully got up and looked at the huge pile of food in front of him, Julian had already told them that his Snox eats a lot so they are already prepared. _____________________ While his Pokemons have their fun Julian is brought to the area where the trainers usually dine, he saw some rich people sitting around their table enjoying their food when they saw Julian some of them abandoned their food just to walk towards him and greet him, these greeting process when on for five minutes, Julian didn''t want to be rude so he said hello to everyone. After these people went back to their table, some of them invited Julian over but he rejected them and sat down on a table for two near the window to look outside. "We meet again" Suddenly he heard a voice and turned around to see who it is. Chapter 361 - Having A Talk As Julian heard the voice he turned around and saw this woman in a ck long dress, she is wearing a long ck coat with long ck pants, it''s none other than Cynthia. Julian "Yes, we meet again" ?? Julian said and smiled. Cynthia "May I have a seat?" She asked. Julian "Of course" Julian said and gestured her to sit down, Cynthia nodded her head and sit down as well, seeing that even Cynthia was here the people who are inside the restaurant got surprised, they didn''t see Cynthia before because she was with her pokemons but now that Julian hase she also arrived. Seeing them sitting together they got stared by everyone in the restaurant. Julian "Looks like we have a lot of eye on us, tomorrow we both will be on news" Julian said and smiled. Cynthia "Don''t you like being in the news and from what I see you don''t mind having scandalous news about you hitting the news, even Diantha was caught in it once" Cynthia said and smiled. Julian "Indeed, but it was just a coincidence, I was there to watch my girlfriend, the people just like to talk and spread rumors" Julian said andughed. Cynthia "Indeed" Julian "So our meeting, is this also a coincidence or did youe here on purpose?" He asked. Cynthia "It''s not a coincidence, I just wanted to meet your properly, thest two times we met wereckluster, we didn''t even introduce ourselves properly" She said. Julian "Well, to be honest, you couldn''t recognize me with the mask on" Julian said and chuckled. Cynthia "Even though you have that pretty face, you hide it too much so not many can recognize you" She said. Julian "If I don''t hide my face, the same thing will happen everyday" Julian said and pointed outside the window showing the huge crowd outside the restaurant, Cynthia turned and looked at the huge crowd and some taking their pictures. Sheughed and looked back at Julian. Julian "So why do I owe the pleasure of being visited by the champion herself?" Julian asked. Cynthia "I should be the one being honored, you are known as the strongest champion to ever walk thend but to meet you is harder than encountering a legendary pokemon" Cynthia said. Julian "Well as I said before people always like to talk, there might be trainers stronger than me out there in this huge world, we just live in this small piece ofnd, there is still so much to learn" Julian said. Cynthia "Indeed, looks like this is why you are different from us, you don''t care about power do you?" Julian "What is the use of power when I cannot even move around freely, I would rather be free than powerful" Julian said. Cynthia said nothing and just looked at him and sighed, when she was young she also wanted to travel but when she became the champion after defeating Lucian, the previous champion and now the member of the Elite Four. After bing the champion she got a lot of power, her single word could change everything but with this power, she got tied to Sinnoh, even though she goes for holidays it is not for long maybe 2 to 3 months at maximum. At the end of the day, she has toe back to Sinnoh, and now even if she wanted to she cannot leave this spot until someone defeats her to im her throne, she has been Champion for 3 years now and her sudden retirement can cause a hugemotion in Sinnoh. Julian and Cynthia then talked a little, during the conversation Cynthia found out that Julian is very normal and easy to talk, while others did observe them and what they did they didn''t care about their surroundings. Julian "There is something I want to ask but I cannot do it here, we can talk alone somewhere else" Julian said. Cynthia became serious. Cynthia "What is it about?" Julian "I will just say that it''s about the three legendary Orbs" Julian whispered but Cynthia heard him, hearing what Julian had to say Cynthia knew it was something big, she realized that these kinds of talk here in public. Cynthia "Where should we have this meeting?" Julian "When are you free?" He asked. Cynthia "I cannot stay in the city, I have to leave tomorrow, if we want to talk we have to wait" She said. Julian "Ok, I will give you my number, when you are free, give me a call and we will have this talk" He said. Soon after the waiter came and took their order, they ate their food and got ready to leave. ____________________ In the pokemon area, Julian''s pokemon were having their fun, Snox ate a lot, a month of the restaurant''s ration after that Snox went to sleep. His Sinnoh pokemons were still ying, Gabite who was being chased by others because he stole their food decided to run away from the room that was assigned to him and his other friends, he rushed out of his assigned room and bolted into another one, Crystal was the only one who chased after him because it doesn''t like its food being eaten by others. Gabite entered this room filled with other pokemon, he saw a Garchomp, Milotic, Spiritomb, ceon, Roserade, and Gastrodon. These were Cynthia''s pokemon, Gabite being the fearless youth he is, he didn''t give a fuck about these monsters and started to run around and ruin their food, it wasn''t over there because Crystal is more fearless when someone steals its food, it sted Ice Beams after Ice Beams on Gabite and instead of hitting him it froze all the food present in the room. This, of course, caused a lot ofmotion which caught both Julian and Cynthia''s attention, seeing that these noises wereing from the direction their pokemons are kept they headed towards these rooms. Chapter 362 - Feud Seeing their food get destroyed by these pokemon who came out of nowhere, Cynthia''s pokemon got angry, the first one to make a move was Spiritomb who used Shadow Ball at Crystal, the Shadow ball hit Crystal but it had no effect on it because it was in its normal form, Crystal turned around and red angrily at the Spiritomb and used Dazzling Gleam on Spiritomb causing it to back off, even though the attack didn''t cause much damage because Spiritomb is way stronger than Crystal it still hurt. Crystal''s power is not something one can mess with. ? ? Seeing their friend getting attacked the others also charged towards Crystal and Gabite but before the others could reach Crystal and Gabite they were stopped in their tracks by a powerful Dark Pulse causing them to stop and look at the attacker, they saw a white pokemon walk towards them with no fear releasing a very powerful aura that was able to cause some of them to back away, Spiritomb, Milotic and Gastrodon felt the pressure and backed off a little, the others were also feeling it but they stood their ground, the only one who stood there and red seriously at Absol was Garchomp. She stared at Absol trying to see if she can take on this pokemon in front of her, they did have a numerical advantage but she is not sure about it. Absol stood in front of Crystal and Gabite, Gabite who had not noticed anything suddenly stopped and looked at Absol and finally noticed the hugemotion he has caused, he looked at the other party and stopped, he looked at the Garchomp in the front and suddenly his heart started to beat faster, his eyes became big. He then suddenly rushed towards the Garchomp without thinking of anything, this sudden approach from Gabite caused everyone to get startled, Garchomp didn''t expect to get charged by this Gabite who is weaker than her but for some reason, she could tell that the Gabite was not attacking her. Julian "Gabite stop" Suddenly Gabite heard Julian''s voice and stopped, he turned around and saw Julian staring at him. Julian "Crystale back" He called back Crystal as well, seeing Julian is angry both of them walked back to Julian worried and scared, they had never seen Julian get angry so seeing him looking at them like this made them feel scared, Crystal went back to his pocket and Gabite hid behind Absol. Julian "Gengar, what happened here?" Julian asked. Suddenly Gengar came out of Garchomp''s shadow with a grin on his face and went back to Julian''s shadow, seeing Gengaring out of her own shadow Garchomp was shocked, she didn''t even notice when Gengar got in her shadow, same could be told for Cynthia, her Garchomp was her strongest pokemon and seeing Garchomp''s reaction she could tell Garchomp had no clue about Gengar being in her Shadow. This is when Cynthia realized that Julian''s Gengar is on a league way above her Garchomp. Cynthia ''If his Gengar is so strong what about his ace Infernape and the feared Snox of his'' Cynthia though. Gengar told Julian what happened here, hearing this Julian sighed and looked at Cynthia. Julian "Sorry about it, my Gabite just like causing trouble, I will pay for the loses" Julian said and apologized to Cynthia. Cynthia "No need to apologize, its nothing, they are still young and having fun, I should be the one saying sorry for my pokemon to make the first move" Cynthia said and apologized as well. The owner also soon arrived with few people, the ones who were looking after Julian''s pokemon rushed towards the owner when they saw Gabite bolt out of the room followed by Crystal, they decided to inform the Owner. Owner "Mr. Julian, Miss, Cynthia, is anything wrong?" He asked in a worried voice. Julian "Its nothing, the pokemons were just having some fun, you can return to what you were doing" Julian said andforted the owner who seemed very close to passing out. The Owner sighed and walked away. Julian "Ok, Gabite back with the others" Julian said and pointed towards the room, Gabite lowered his head and slowly walked towards the room where his other pokemons are, he looked back to notice Crystal popping out its head and showing its tongue to Gabite and teasing him. Cynthia, of course, noticed this little unknown pokemon that she has never seen before. Cynthia ''Why does this little one look so simr?'' She questioned and thought about it, she went through all the research she had done and finally realized it. Cynthia "Is that a Mew?" She asked as the resemnce of Crystal''s face was very simr to what he has seen in ancient carvings. Julian "Well you could call it a Mew but it''s still very different from it, so I call it Crystal because of the red crystal on its head" Julian said and pulled out Crystal and ced the little one on his palm, Crystal rubbed its face with its little arms and looked at Cynthia by tilting its head, it looked back at Julian and then again at Cynthia. Cynthia ''Oh my god, it''s so cute'' She thought and wanted to pull Crystal''s cheek but she restrained herself, she didn''t know what reaction Crystal would have to her. Julian "You can pet it if you want" Julian said and put his palm forward. Cynthia "Really?" Julian "Of course, go ahead". Chapter 363 - Another Scandal Julian let Cynthia pet Crystal, he passed down Crystal in her hand, seeing that Crystal is so small she was very careful when handling it. She saw the tiny pokemon that fit perfectly in her hand, she was very careful, she didn''t want to do any sudden movements that would hurt the little one. ?? Crystal just started at this woman in front of it, since Julian passed it to her, it didn''t think anything about it, being petted by a stranger was weird to Crystal, only Julian and Professor Oak got the chance of petting Crystal so being petted by Cynthia felt weird to it. It then floated back to Julian and went into his pocket and hid inside while it started at Cynthia by popping its head out. Julian "It''s still not used to being with strangers, don''t mind it" Julian said and calmed down Crystal. Cynthia "It''s ok, I can understand" She said and nodded. Julian and Cynthia then walked towards his pokemon room where Cynthia saw his other pokemons, as she looked around she noticed his infamous Snox, in the world of the league there has been a saying that is, the opponent should just give up if Julian brings up his Snox. During any battle, Snox has battled in he has only made one move to finish of anyone, she saw the Snox munching down huge amount of food without caring about his environment, she was also surprised to see Manaphy and Victini as they are Mythical pokemons, their existence is only known as myths so seeing them in person is really surprising. Even Legendary pokemons are easily foundpared to these Mythical, the reason why these are called Mythical is that they are just myths, there have been very few sightings of these pokemon and by only one person making it hard to believe, but with so many people iming to have seen them they are categorized in to a subss of Legendary pokemons called Mythical. But right now in front of her own eyes, she is taking look at two of them, Manaphy knows as the protector of the sea and Victini the pokemon who brings victory to anyone that befriends it. Cynthia "Are they really Manaphy and Victini?" She asked in amazement. Julian "Yes, I was very lucky that they chose to follow me" Julian replied. Cynthia "Where did you find them?" She asked as she tried to approach the two, seeing some unknown woman approaching them the two looked at each other and giggled, as Cynthia was about to pet them, they flew away startling her, being with Crystal all the time made them very naughty. Even Julian had a hard time controlling his Sinnoh pokemon, Crystal has too much of an influence in the group. If it was not for Infernape looking after them when Julian is busy it would be chaos, Gengar cannot be trusted as he would join them to cause trouble, Snox doesn''t care about anything except sleeping and eating, and when ites to Tyranitar and Absol, they are not experienced enough to handle the little ones. Cynthia gets back to her senses and looks around to see Victini and Manaphy giggling at her. Julian "Don''t mind them, they are a mischievous bunch of group" Julian said. Cynthia nodded and calmed down, all of Julian''s pokemon were very special, each of them had a uniqueness to them which made them stand out from the rest. Cynthia went back to her own pokemons, while Julian let his pokemons y for a little longer, once Snox was out cold after eating his full he decided to leave, it was already veryte at night and most of the people had already left, before leaving he paid for all the damages his pokemon did in the restaurant, even though the owner didn''t want to take it Julian gave it to him anyway, he doesn''t like being in dept with someone who he isn''t close to. He went back to his hotel room and went to sleep as he called it a day. ____________________ Next morning he was woken up by Crystal who kept annoying him for its breakfast, after getting up he fed his pokemons and turned on the TV for the daily news while he is holding his morning cup of coffee, as the TV got turned and he switched to the news channel he saw something that almost made his spit his coffee, but it was what he had expected it to be. The news showed the picture of him and Cynthia having dinner, with the headline, Champion Cynthia in a secret rtionship with the former Champion of Kanto. Julian "I expected this to happen, but a secret rtionship? they really want to put me in a lot of trouble " Julian said and sighed. Julian "Being famous is a curse sometimes, you be seen with someone, people start to assume anything thates in their mind, the real problem for me now is to exin this to Daisy and Chloe" Julian said and turned off the TV. What Julian is most worried about right now is about Chloe and Daisy, even though they are understanding women, no one would like to see their boyfriend with other women without their notice. Julian "Let''s just hope everything goes well". Chapter 364 - Last Training Before Battle As he will battle Byron in few days he needs to train his pokemon, from what he has heard till now, Byron is the strongest gym leader in the whole Sinnoh, he has a verity of pokemons and he uses them ording to the level of his opponents. He has also heard that Byron is very aggressive during his battle and won''t show mercy to his opponents, at first he thought of using Gabite, Victini, and Riolu for this one but he decided to make some changes in the strategy, for this battle Julian decided to use Riolu and Gliscor, As both Gliscor and Riolu being very effective against steel types. ?? This will also be Gliscor and Riolu''s first gym battle so Julian decided to train both of them a little more before he challenges Byron. He left the hotel and went back to the abandoned mine for onest training session, Riolu has already learned how to use her war hammer made from her aura, even though she is not perfect, she will be able to battle opponents much stronger than her from all the training she has gone through while being supervised by Julian and sometimes by Infernape who teaches her some martial arts he learned from Julian. While Julian teaches her the art of the weapons and Infernape being her hand to hand physicalbat teacher. Julian now is concentrated on Gliscor, the biggest challenge for Gliscor in this battle will be to be in the air, the gym is a closed space so Julian needs to find something that would keep Gliscor away from the ground. With the closed space, their won''t be any moving air for Gliscor to use and float. Julian "I think I have an idea on how to keep you up in the air" Julian said and he looked at Gliscor, soon he started to train Gliscor so he can adapt to this new strategy that Julian hase up with, even though this method is a little tiring it would still be better than nothing. The training went well, Gliscor is tired after all that training, another day came to an end, both Riolu and Gliscor are ready. After the training, Julian went back to the hotel and was about to go to sleep when he suddenly got a call from Daisy. Seeing the name on the phone screen he sighed. Julian "I knew this wasing" Julian said and picked up the call. Julian "Hey, how are you doing?" He asked in a nervous voice. Daisy "Shouldn''t you be the one to tell us how are you doing?" She said. Julian could tell that she is mad. Julian "I am doing very good, I heard from Chloe that you will be working with her, so how did it go?" He tried to change the topic but too bad for him Daisy didn''t want to move on. Daisy "Don''t try to change the topic, what is this I am seeing in the news, you already have two girlfriends and you are looking for another one?" She asked. Julian "Babe, you got it wrong, it was just a coincidence, I met her in that restaurant, I didn''t even know she was there" Julian said. Daisy "How do I believe you?" Julian "Come on, you can trust me right?" He said. Daisy "I don''t trust you, you even hid the fact about your hero activity, who knows what else you are hiding" Daisy said. Julian "I promise, it was just a coincidence nothing much" Julian said. Daisy "Are you really telling the truth?" She asked. Julian soon started to exin everything from the start and what happened in the restaurant, Daisy, of course, believes him but she just teased him a little more during this call, since Julian couldn''t see her expression he had no idea she was trolling him all this time. Daisy knows how the media is and how they make anything they see a huge deal without looking deeper into it. After calming down they talked a little, Julian asked about Gardevoir and Flygon, they were his precious pokemons so he cared about them, thankfully Daisy and Chloe took really good care of them. Daisy "By the way did Chloe tell that we areing to Sinnoh" Daisy said suddenly catching Julian by surprise. Julian "Wait for you both areing to Sinnoh?" He asked. He is surprised by this news. Daisy "Yes, Chloe''s TV series shooting will be held in Sinnoh, I thought Chloe would have told yo-" While saying she suddenly stopped. Julian "Daisy? What happened?" Daisy "Ah-, I totally forgot, Chloe told me to not tell you about it, we were going to surprise you, If Chloe finds about I told you about this she will kill me" Daisy said andughed awkwardly. She was so excited to meet Julian once again that she forgot about what Chloe told her. Julian "Oh, then let''s just pretend that you didn''t tell it to me, I will pretend as If I don''t know anything" Julian said andughed. He didn''t expect Chloe and Daisy to being to Sinnoh, it has been a very long time since he has seen them so he feels really happy. Chloe seems to be busy with her work so she is not avable currently, after talking to Daisy for a while he calls it a day. Tomorrow will be the day he will challenge the gym so he and his pokemons need a long night rest. Chapter 365 - Julian Vs Byron It''s battle day and Julian is already up, Riolu, Gliscor, and Luxio are warming up, these three will be the ones who will battle Byron and his pokemons. Knowing that the opponent is very dependent on their defense it would be a hard battle,nding hits is no problem but if the opponent just has a very hard defense it will be troubling to deal damage, Julian trained his pokemons to hit hard and this would also mean they need to put more power and energy behind their attack which would tire them sooner than before. ? ? As they have finished their warm-up Julian sent them back to their pokemon and headed towards the gym after he hit the road it took him half an hour as he finally arrived in front of the gym, Julian looked at the huge site in front of him, right before his eyes a huge gate separated him from a long road, he walked towards the gate and pushed it open, he then started to walk on this long road that seems to be leading to a building he could see from far, on the way he saw some statues of pokemons that were steel types, he also saw some fossil pokemon statues around and at the end of this road is the statue of Dialga. Dialga said to be Steel type from the legends so he was not surprised to see its statue here, he then found himself in front of a weird looking gym, there are rocks on the bottomyer and the top is made of steel with tworge red metal arches attached to the side. After taking a look he walked into the gym to see what is waiting for him, the hallway is very long and cold as it is made of steel as well. He soon arrived at the main room where he saw the gym caretaker, its an old man dressed in a butler uniform, as the old man saw Julian he nodded at him and approached him. Butler "What is the purpose of your visit, sir?" Julian "I am here to challenge the gym leader" Julian said. Butler "Ah, then you may head in, I will inform Gym Leader Byron, he will be there in a minute" The Butler said and pointed at the way towards the battlefield, Julian nodded and walked towards the direction the butler pointed at. Once he arrived there he finally got a clear view of the whole battlefield and he was surprised by seeing how big it actually is, its the biggest battlefield field he has seen inside a gym, the battlefield is covered with rocks containing metal oars. Julian "I didn''t expect the gym to be this big, this may turn to Gliscor''s advantage" He said and started to look around. What Julian was most worried about was there won''t be too much air for Gliscor to drift and fly but with such a big space he has nothing to worry about, he found some spots that could be used for his advantage during this battle as well. He didn''t have to wait for long as he soon heard footstepsing from the other passage that is opposite to him, soon a middle-aged man wearing a dark brown cape, white t-shirt and grey pants with a shovel in his hand walk out of the passage and looked at Julian. Byron "You must be the challenger huh? You should know that I won''t go easy on you, you have interrupted my mining session and I need to get back to it" Byron said and pointed his shovel at Julian. Julian "Don''t worry the battle wontst long" Julian said. Byron "Are you not even confident to pull his battle off, why are you even challenging me then?" He asked. Julian "No, you got it wrong, you will be the one who will be going down first" Julian said. Too bad Byron couldn''t see who his opponent is right now so he has no idea what he is getting into. Byron "I see you are very confident in your battling style, you should know I don''t have too much loses when challenged for the first time, do you think you canpare to those who defeated me before, you should also know that one of them is Cynthia who is the current champion" Byron said. Julian "I don''t think she is anyone special, I think I can defeat her as well" Julian said. Byron "You really are cocky aren''t you? I really like to break the ones like you who are just too confident and don''t know what is ahead of them" Byron said and took his stance, he seemed very serious and is serious about being the crap out of Julian''s pokemon. Seeing this Julian smiled, what he said was indeed true, he can easily defeat Cynthia and not many people in this world can say that so a challenger justes and ims that he can defeat the champion would really tick someone off even if they are aposed gym leader. Byron "This will be a four on four pokemon battle, only you will be able to switch pokemon during the battle, and I think you should know the rest of the rules, its the same" Byron said. Julian "Ya I know" Julian said. Byron "Good then, get ready and see how I kick your ass" Byron said and tossed a Pokeball, with this the battle is about to start. Chapter 366 - Julian Vs Byron (2) Byron tossed his Pokeball sending his first pokemon out his first pokemon, Bronzong, its a Steel/Psychic-type pokemon and it is known for both of its Defense and Special defense is very good but itcks in Attack and Special Attack. Julian "Luxio, let''s go" ?? Julian sent out his Luxio, at first he thought he would use only Riolu and Gliscor for this battle but with Byron stating that it would be a four on four battle he decided to use Luxio as well. Julian ''Luxio might evolve during this battle, he has been holding on for a very long time'' Julian thought. Luxio had to stop himself from evolving because he has not fully mastered his control over his electric powers and he wants to do it before he evolves so that it would be a lot easier for him to move on to the next level. Now that he has mastered it he just needs a stimtion. This battle will be perfect for him as Bronzong doesn''t have powerful attacks or special attacks that can heavily damage Luxio and Luxio is just too fast for it. Byron "I will let you make the first move so that you won''tin afterwards" Byron said as he pointed his shovel at Julian. Julian "Are you sure about that?" He asked. Byron "Yes go ahead" Julian "Well then Luxio use Discharge" Julian made the first move by calling out Discharge, Luxio nodded and shot lightning strikes everywhere leaving no ce to escape, Bronzong got hit by one of the lightning strikes which was soon followed by others zapping it very hard. As the lightning bolts disappeared they noticed that the attack has caused Bronzong to be paralyzed. Even though it received some damage from that Discharge it is still not bulged by it due to its high Special Defense, Byron knew that his Bronzong can get hit by the opponent but he didn''t expect it to get paralyzed as well. Julian "Looks like I am lucky, Luxio use Thunder Fang" Julian made anothermand, Luxio charged up his fangs as they turned yellow sparkling with electricity, he then charged towards Bronzong at full speed. Byron "Bronzong try to move" Byron shouted as he held on to his shovel and swung it, luckily Bronzong was able to move and dodged the Thunder Fang from Luxio. Paralyze doesn''t always render an opponent useless, they can still have some luck moving, as Byron thought that Bronzong is safe, it wasn''t over, Luxionded on his feet and suddenly made a jump directly at Bronzong, this time Bronzong couldn''t move as the paralysis red up and Luxio connected with the Thunder Fang. Bronzong got zapped hard once again, the electricity in its body red up causing more damage, Luxio backed off after the attack, to see what is the condition of his opponent, any other opponent would be down by now after these two attacks so Luxio is expecting the same. The lightning went away revealing Bronzong still floating in the air as steam came from its body, it has received a lot of damage but thanks to its hard Defense it is able to withstand that attack from Luxio. Seeing that his opponent is not down Luxio is surprised by this, he could have defeated any pokemon on and above his level by those kinds of attacks but Bronzong still managed to take that. Julian ''As expected, his pokemon will be a pain in the ass to deal with, their Defense is very high'' He thought. Byron "Looks like you do have some skills but its not enough to defeat us, Bronzong use Confuse Ray" Julian "Luxio dodge then use Bite" As Bronzong used Confuse Ray and shot it at Luxio, Luxio moved to the side dodging the attack and charged towards Bronzong once again as dark energy started to form in front of him which turned into a huge jaw, if thisnds it''s over for Bronzong. Byron "Bronzong use Double Team" Bronzong suddenly used Double Team which allowed it to dodge that Bite, Luxio just went through one of the fake images created by Bronzong. Byron "Now use Psyshock" Suddenly all the images of Bronzong turned towards Luxio and all of them sent a Psyshock towards him, but only one of them was real, Luxio was able to identify the real beam of energy but it was toote, Psyshock hit Luxio and sent him rolling on the ground. Luxio got back to his feet once again, his fur is dirty due to that attack, he didn''t receive lots of damage from that attack but he cannot continue taking those hits. Luxio growled at Bronzong and took his stance, but before he could make a move his body started to glow and he started to grow bigger, his tail became long, his legs became stronger and thicker, he grew a long mane. Luxio finally evolved into a Luxray, the gleam eye pokemon. Now that Luxio has finally evolved into Luxray he can use his very own superpower, X-Ray vision, Luxray is the only pokemon known to have X-Ray vision making they very adaptive and deadly predator in the wild, they can see through illusions, behind the wall, underground and many other hidden ces. The light shattered into fragments revealing the magnificent Luxray, his ck and blue fur stood out, his ring eyes stared at his opponent ready to pounce on it. Julian ''As expected, he was about to evolve'' Julian had expected this so he had decided to let Luxio fight in this battle and as he expected he evolved and now is a powerful Luxray. Chapter 367 - Julian Vs Byron (3) Byron looked at Luxray and frowned, he could tell that this Luxray was raised well, he could already tell that Luxio was on its peak but he was limited because of his small size but now it''s a different story. Now Luxray is more powerful, faster and more agile than before. ?? Byron "Just because your pokemon evolved don''t think you can win, you don''t stand a chance, Bronzong, use Psyshock once again" Byronmanded Bronzong to attack. Julian "Luxray dodge and use Wild Charge" Julian gave hismand. As the Psyshock rushed towards Luxray, he just moved to the side and dodged it easily, he then charged towards Bronzong with high speed using Wild Charge, as Luxray was too fast Bronzong couldn''t dodge it and got hit by it sending it crashing on the ground, Julian didn''t wait for it thins time, he made anothermand right away. Julian "Finish it with Bite" Even though Luxray is going through the bacsh of using Wild Charge he didn''t just stand there, he rushed towards Bronzong who is still on the ground trying to recover. Byron "Bronzong, get out of there, quick" Byron ordered but it was toote, a huge jaw made from dark energy opened up, this time it was multiple times bigger than the previous Bite Luxray used when he was a Luxio. Julian ''Bite has also evolved into Crunch'' Julian thought as he watched the giant dark Jaw mming shut on Bronzong multiple times which caused a huge explosion, Bronzong was sent rolling out of the smoke knocked out. Luxray won the battle. Byron looked at his fallen Bronzong and didn''t say anything, he called it back to its Pokeball and looked at Julian. Byron "Looks like you have the right to carry that cocky attitude of yours, I have never lost my first bout, this is the first time" Byron said. Julian "Well, it''s a great achievement then" Julian said. Byron "But don''t worry, you still have to take down three of my other pokemons, and trust me they are not pushovers" Byron said and took out his next Pokeball and tossed it up in the air, as the ball opened a huge pokemon came crashing out andnded on the battlefield, its roar caused the whole gym to quake. This pokemon is non-other than Steelix, as it being a Steel-Ground type pokemon, Luxray won''t hold up good against it so Julian called him back, most of Luxray''s arsenal is his electric type attacks and he doesn''t have any attacks that can cause heavy damage to Steelix. Julian "Luxray,eback you have done great" He said and called back Luxray, he then took out his next Pokeball and tossed it up in the air as well, the Pokeball opened and came out Gliscor, Gliscor floated on air and looked at the huge opponent in front of him, this is his very first battle and to face of against such an intimidating opponent is hard but with Julian behind him he has little to worry about and should only focus on what he needs to do. And that is to battle and bring down his opponent. Gliscor moved left and right in the air making very small movements ready to make a move. Byron "Steelix, let''s not wait, use Rock Throw" Hearing this Steelix created multiple small rocks and tossed it towards Gliscor at high speed. Julian "Dodge" Julianmanded. Since this is a closed space Gliscor doesn''t have full control over his movement but that is also why Julian kept training Gliscor to master its art of using external forces to move and these rocks that areing towards him are the external forces. As he saw the rocks rushing towards him he spread his wings wide and used his tail to switch his position, as the rocks came towards him they created a powerful wind which helped Gliscor easily dodge all those rocks very easily, with the winds generated by those rocks Gliscor used it to his own advantage and dodged them. Seeing what just happened Byron is shocked, he never seen anything like this before, this was all possible because of Gliscor''s wings, they are very efficient in catching even the smallest breeze which allows him to fly for a very long distance without getting tired at all while other flying pokemons would be exhausted by pping their wings. Julian "Gliscor, use Earth Power" With Julian''smand, Gliscor collected energy from the ground and shot a glowing ball at Steelix, Steelix being the giant it is, is very slow so there is no way it could dodge this attack, the Earth Powernded directly on Steelix''s chest. It caused a huge explosion which caused Steelix to back off a little bit as the smoke cleared up, Steelix came back to their sight, Steelix is hurt a little as they are not known for the Special Defense, they have a very powerful Defense that is very tough and near unbreakable, but when ites to Special Defense theyck it but its not too bad. Right now Julian is just testing the waters, his Gliscor is a physical attacker, he won''t be able to keep on attacking Steelix with Special Attacks, it will just drain his power and Steelix would still be standing to finish him off. Julian ''I think I have a way to bring it down'' Julian thought and smiled. Chapter 368 - Gliscors First Win This Steelix in front of him right now is Gliscor''s biggest challenge, even though he has the type advantage against his opponent, the terrain doesn''t favor him at all, if he gets hit by an attack he woulde crashing down and getting back to air will be hard if the Steelix continue its assault. But Julian has some tricks up his sleeve so Gliscor just has to trust his master and do as he says till victory is achieved. ?? Byron "Steelix, use Rock Throw once again" Byronmanded and Steelix sent more mini rocks hurdling at Gliscor, Gliscor used the same method to dodge the rocks, but it was not over. Byron "Now use Crunch" Steelix followed behind the rocks and used Crunch to attack Gliscor who is dodging the rocks. Julian "Use Counter" Julian said, Hearing this Gliscor dived directly into the iing Crunch while using Counter, his ws glowed and he made contact with the huge dark jaw and shattered itpletely, Gliscor is a powerful attacked and when ites to exchanging attacks he is way above Steelix''s league. Now that the Counter is powered up by taking the exchange, he dived directly towards Steelix andnded his Counter right on top of Steelix head, this caused a huge bang and Steelix was sent back, as the air kicked off Gliscor used it to get higher into the air and stared down on his opponent. Steelix shook its head and got back into position as it stared at Gliscor, steam ising off from the top of its forehead after that exchange, thanks to Steelix''s high defense it took it like it was nothing. Even though Steelix is pretending that the attack didn''t affect it, it did, that Counter had a lot of power behind it, it is all due to Steelix''s ridiculous physical defense that it is able to still be standing there with a normal expression on its face. Byron "Hmm, Steelix use Smack Down" Byron gave hismand, Steelix suddenly roared and swung its massive tail at Gliscor, the massive tail actually reached Gliscor''s level and tried to smack him down on the ground. Julian "Counter with Brick Break" Julian also called out amand informing Gliscor form what to do, Gliscor''s right w glows white and he did a side chop at the iing tail with full power. The two attacks shed and this time both of them tied in the exchange, even though Gliscor had more power behind his attack, Steelix''s tail had more momentum, the sh created another big bang and sent Steelix''s tail, back to the ground crashing and Gliscor flying backward, but with all that shock wave of air hitting the walls of the gym prevented Gliscor from crashing into them as he used his wings to drift with the shockwave and used its rebound. Julian "Now Arial Ace" Hearing Julian''smand, Gliscor used the drift and dived down using Arial Ace, there is no way Steelix can dodge this attack but Byron is not worried about it because Steelix is resistant to flying type attacks, Gliscor charged with high speed that is blinding to normal eyes, as they can only see a blur. As Gliscor was about to make contact, he suddenly crossed his ws waiting for something. Julian "Now use Brick Break" With themand, Gliscor changed his attack in a fraction of second, this time both his ws glowed and hended both of them directly on the body of Steelix. Steelix suddenly roared in pain and its head came crashing down on the ground, the shockwave this time was far more powerful than before, with all that momentum the two Brick Break''s carried from that Arial Ace made its impact, Gliscor used that to distance himself once again from Steelix and went back high in the air and looked down on the fallen Steelix. Byron was shocked seeing this, he has never seen changing of the move from one to another in a fraction of second, he knows how hard it really is, if that shift of move was not done perfectly Gliscor would have just crashed into Steelix hurting himself, these kinds of attacks are very risky and only trainers who can train their pokemon to the extreme can make their pokemons pull this off, it also showed how much the pokemon trusted their trainer, to wait for themand at the exact moment. Everything executed right now was perfect, even Byron himself couldn''t pull this off. He looked at Julian and squinted his eyes, no normal trainer can train their pokemon to this skill level, he already knew that Julian is a strong opponent after seeing how good his Luxray was but now he suspects Julian to be even more capable of what he has anticipated. His Steelix was hurt this time, the attack was very powerful, even with its high defense there is no way it cane out of it unscathed. Steelix''s whole body is humming as it tries to get back its head up in the air, it struggles but finally able to get''s it''s head straight, Julian and Gliscor could see that Steelix suffered a huge set back here, one more attack at that level and Steelix wille down. Byron "Steelix, can you continue?" Byron asked. Steelix turned towards him and nodded its head. Byron "Good, let''s continue then, use Gyro Ball" Steelix started to collect metallic energy forming into a ball and shot it towards Gliscor with full power. Julian "Gliscor counter with Razor Wind" Gliscor nodded and sent out multiple wind des towards the Gyro Ball, the two attacks shed causing a huge explosion and smoke everywhere. Byron "Now, Smack Down" Steelix suddenly swung its tail into the smoke and brought it down on Gliscor. Julian "Watch out" Julian said. Gliscor looked around trying to find from where the attack wille but suddenly he felt the winding down on him catching him off guard, the tail came smashing down on his head and sent him crashing on the ground. Bryon "Now let''s finish this in one big attack, use Dig" Byron gave themand. Steelix suddenly dug into the ground and charged towards the fallen Gliscor. Julian "It''s time, use Earthquake" Gliscor got back to his feet and mmed his ws down on the ground sending his energy into it causing it to tremor, this caught Byron by surprise, seeing how Julian always tried to maintain distance from Steelix and not trying to take the ground he thought that Gliscor might be a sky attacked, he didn''t expect Gliscor to know Earthquake as well. The tremor caused the ground to split reveling the giant steel snake inside knocked out, that attack caught Steelix by surprise, it didn''t even know what happened but suddenly got trashed by the huge thick walls of the ground and got knocked out. Gliscor got back to his feet and looked at his fallen opponent, this is his first official victory, against someone this powerful. He felt lucky finding Julian that day in that cave if he hadn''t he would have been the same thief of the cave who stole food from trainers who were tired out from all that Zubats upying the inner caves. Chapter 369 - Julian Vs Byron (4) Byron didn''t say anything and called back his Steelix, the battlefield has a huge crack right now, things would be hard for pokemons to move around. Byron took out his next Pokeball and tossed it out and out came his Bastiodon, they are known for both high special defense and physical defense making them very hard to take down. ?? Julian ''Hmm? Isn''t Bastiodon is ace, why did he sent it first, or is there something else he is nning, interesting'' Julian thought. Byron "Are you going to switch?" He asked, he no longer underestimated Julian. If this continues he knows he will lose and this will also be his biggest loss, even when Cynthia was a young trainer and came to challenge him she was down to herst pokemon and she only won because his Bastiodon was the one to go down first while her Gabite was on her knees and very tired. But right now, two of his pokemons are already down and the opposition hasn''t even revealed hisst two pokemon and he still has all four of them remaining. Byron has toe up with something new so he decided to go a little more tough on Julian this time, he really wanted to see how strong his opponent really is. Byron "Bastiodon, Use Ancient Power" Bastiodon started to gather power from it''s surrounding and sent a ball of energy surrounded by many small energy balls, this attack charged towards Gliscor at full speed. Julian "Destroy it with Brick Break" Julian gave themand and Gliscor did as he said, he used Brick Break and charged into the attack and destroyed it, Gliscor''s attack is very powerfulpared to Bastiodon so destroying its attacks was nothing to Gliscor. Byron "Use Blizzard" Suddenly Byron called out a move Julian didn''t expect at all, Bastiodon suddenly used Blizzard causing that whole battlefield to go cold, snow started to blow everywhere catching Gliscor by surprise, Gliscor is 4x weak to Ice-type attack so this will definitely take a toll on him. His wings started to go heavy as he tried to keep himself in the air but it was of no use, the snow was getting harsh and he soon came back to the ground. Julian didn''t expect Bastiodon to know Blizzard but this is a pokemon battle so he is not worried about it, the Blizzard does some damage to Gliscor as his wings get covered with ice. Julian "Its nothing don''t worry you can do this" Julian said and calmed down Gliscor, like his other pokemons, Gliscor doesn''t have much experience in battle and he is also the weakest of the group, he still needs to learn a lot before being on the same level as his other pokemons. Being Julian''s newest pokemon is hard, they have a lot to do before they can catch up to the others, but Julian knows this so he always focuses on his newest pokemon a little more than others so they don''t feel bad about being the weakest of the group. Gliscor felt the same when he was first introduced to the group, he would lose every exchange but Julian was there by his side to train him. Gliscor doesn''t have to prove anything to Julian because he already took down a Steelix trained by Byron, this proved that Gliscor has grown a lot during the time he spent with Julian and his pokemons. Right now Gliscor is feeling pressured and panicked, he knows that none of Julian''s pokemon have lost a battle and if he loses he would feel ashamed. Hearing Julian he turned around and looked at him. Julian removed his mask and smiled and Gliscor telling him its ok to feel pressured, Gliscor saw the smile on Julian''s face and calmed down. On the other hand, Byron who was standing on the other end got stunned by seeing the person behind the mask. Byron ''Isn''t that Julian, the previous champion of Kanto? What is he doing here? Wait why is he even challenging me? Ah, I heard he likes to travel the world and participate in the league, so is he going to participate in the uing league?'' A lot of questions exploded in his mind as he thought about this. The reason he doesn''t know about Julian being in Sinnoh is that he spends all his days in the mines, aways mining alone, he doesn''t care about the outside world, he doesn''t even watch the TV so he had no idea that Julian was in his city. Byron "You, you are Julian the previous champion of Kanto" Byron said and eximed. Julian "Haha, I was just messing around a little bit" Julian said and smiled. Byron still couldn''t believe that he was looking at the man who is known to be the strongest trainer in the world. Byron "I did suspect something was off, that battle style was very different and skillful, even better than the elite four Julian "Why not continue this battle" Julian said. Byron nodded and became more serious, even though it''s Julian standing in front of him he cannot let it get into his head, first, he is a gym leader and he needs to fulfill his role. Byron "Bastiodon, let''s get this over with, use Heavy m" Bastiodon charged towards Gliscor and suddenly jumped high in the air, metallic energy surrounded it as it came crashing down on Gliscor whose wings are still frozen. Julian "Gliscor, let''s go all out, use Guillotine" Gliscor is about to pull off his ultimate move, he started to gather all his energy around him creating two sharp, curved, serrated des that were shaped like an ant''s mandible, since Gliscor has been slowed down due to his frozen wings, Julian decided to take this head-on and finish it. He understands what Gliscor is thinking, being his pokemon is not an easy task as well, if one of them is behind others they will feel pressured and Julian doesn''t want that to happen. He thought of not using this move at all, this move is a clear fight finisher, but it''s very taxing and Gliscor will go weak after using it. What Julian doesn''t want is Gliscor to lose now, if he looses he might feel the pressure. Gliscor waited for Bastiodon toe closer to him and then it happened, as Bastiodon got close to Gliscor, the Mandible snapped shut, it caused a huge explosion, an explosion like nothing before, rubbles went flying everywhere, the air blows everywhere. Gliscor rolls out of the smoke and slowly gets back to his feet, he is very tired and cannot battle anymore, the smoke clears and Bastiodon is found on the ground unconscious. That Guillotine took out a lot from Gliscor and he won''t the battle and now he is too tired. Julian "You did well, you may rest now" Julian said and called back Gliscor. Chapter 370 - Aggron Vs Riolu Since Gliscor won''t be able to continue Julian decided its time for him to rest, Guillotine took out a lot from him. Now it''s time for the final fight, Julian is interested in seeing what Byron''sst pokemon will be. ?? Byron also calls back his Bastiodon and takes out hisst Pokeball. Byron "Looks like my choice was right, I might just be the second person to bring down one of your pokemons" Byron said as Lance and his Aerodactyl are the only ones who came very close to defeating one of Julian''s pokemon, but it ended in a draw, Aerodactyl was the first to go down then Kabutops so Kabutops was not bumped out about it. But that is the only record of one of Julian''s pokemon being taken down that is held by Lance and his Aerodactyl. Julian "Let''s see if you can do that" Julian said and took out his Pokeball as well, both of them tossed their Pokeball at the same time revealing their own pokemon. Riolu came out of Julian''s Pokeball andnded on the ground doing a flip, she stood as she watched the lighte out of the pokemon in front of her, the light came out forming into an eight feet giant, as this giant pokemon came out it roared causing the whole gym to tremor. This pokemon is none other than an Aggron. Riolu looked very tinypared to her opponent, even Julian was surprised to see this big pokemon, he could tell that the Aggron is young but risen very well. Julian ''This is going to be a tougher battle than I thought'' Julian thought as he let Riolu gaze her opponent, she is nervous as she has never faced a huge opponent like this before, she doesn''t know if she can even hurt this giant. Julian "Don''t worry, the bigger they are they harder they fall" Julian said and calmed her down, this is also her first official battle and this will also be the biggest challenge any of Julian''s pokemon has faced when they are at this level. Riolu nodded and got ready to battle the giant in front of her. Julian "Get ready, you have to go all out" Hearing Julian Riolu took her stance and got ready for the biggest battle she will face till today. Byron "Even if you are the champ this is not your ace team, I will make sure to take you down" Julian "Good luck on that" Byron "You will see, Aggron let''s show them, Stone Edge" Aggron smashed its hand on the ground as huge glowing rocks ripped out of the ground rushing towards Riolu. Julian "Counter with Force Palm" Riolu rushed straight to the rocks and used the ForcePalm to destroy the rock in front of her. Byron "Now Hyper Beam" Suddenly Aggron shot a very powerful Hyper Beam destroying all the rocks in front of it before it reached Riolu, this caught her off guard. Julian "Use the Aura as a shield" Julian gave themand and Riolus did as he said, she created a shied made from the aura and to the Hyper Beam head-on, she was pushed back by it but nothing much happened, the Hyper Beam was already weakened by those rocks so she could take that attack head-on. She stopped and looked at Aggron once again, she didn''t the attack toe straight through the rocks neither did Julian because its a waste of an attack and it will also put you as an open target to the opponent. Aggron is stuck on its spot unable to move after that Hyper Beam. Julian "Use Close Combat just the way I thought you" Riolu nodded and suddenly made and big War hammer out of her Aura and charged towards Aggron with full speed, she jumped high up in the air and smashed the war hammer right on Aggron''s face, causing a loud ding which sent a tremor down its whole body, it grunted as it felt the vibration running through its body, Riolu didn''t stop there, she then smashed the war hammer on its chest then on both of its knees bringing it down to its knee. Aggron grunted as it stared at Riolu, it is getting back the control of its body. Julian "Don''t stop keep hitting till it goes down" Riolu started to hit faster and harder, every joint in Aggron''s body is being smashed time after time as the shock waves passed through Aggron''s body. Byron "Hang in there, we got this" Byron said. He knows that Aggron is not fast and seeing how the battle has gone through till now, he knows that Julian''s pokemons are fast, fast enough to dodge each and every attack of his pokemons, what he needed was to bring one of the close enough for him to erupt. Byron "Now, use Metal Burst" Suddenly Aggron burst out a st of energy catching Riolu off guard and sent her flying through the air and crashing on the ground. This was a huge move by Aggron, Byron waited for all that time just tounch an attack that will hit with no way to dodge that. Julian ''Now that was surprising, an Aggron that knows a move that it couldn''t have learned at its level'' This really caught him by surprise, Metal Burst is really a powerful move and it caused damage, Riolu is on the ground struggling to get back to her feet. Chapter 371 - Evolve Riolu got back to her feet but she is hurt, that attack had a lot of power behind it, all the damage that Aggron took from Riolu''s Close Combat doubled andnded on Riolu. Julian ''A good sort out n, Byron was really confident in his Aggron to take all that hit from Riolu, he nned an attack that Riolu cannot dodge'' ?? That attack was indeed very good and Julian was not expecting it, Byron''s Aggron knew a move that it couldn''t learn in its level, he could tell that Byron has a pokemon that could take him to the Elite four right there. Julian "It''s just one attack, if you give up now, you will never achieve your dream" Julian said to Riolu. Riolu gritted her teeth and took her stance. Julian "Believe in me and nothing is impossible" Riolu nodded and focused on her opponent. Byron "This won''t be so simple, Aggron use Earthquake" Julian "Catapult yourself towards Aggron" As Aggron smashed its leg on the ground send a huge amount of energy into it bringing an earthquake, but Riolu suddenly made herself a huge hammer and mmed it on the ground causing her to fly high going right towards Aggron. She spun and swung her hammer and mmed it on Aggron''s chest causing another loud bang, the hit sent Aggron several steps back as it held its chest in pain. Julian "Just believe and the victory is yours, keep going finish your opponent" Riolu did as Julian said, she started to move faster and swing harder, her hammer mmed very body part causing Aggron to go back to its knee and when even she felt power pulsing inside Aggron she would back off so she won''t get hit by another of those Metal Burst. Julian "Hidden Power" Whenever she backs away Julian calls for a Hidden Power so that not even a second is wasted, as the Hidden Power hits it creates a huge st sending everything in the battlefield flying, everything in the battlefield is destroyed and cracked. As the smoke goes away Aggron is revealed still standing, it seems to have gone back to its feet after taking that hit, it won''t go down even after being sted by so many attacks, now even Julian is impressed by the potential that this Aggron has, if he trained it, it would have been a monster just like his other pokemons. Byron "Your pokemon is too fast for us to take down. Since you keep attacking I think its time to rise our defense, let''s see if you can bring Aggron down after this, this will be a battle of endurance" Byron said and suddenly pulled out a shing item, when Julian looked at it carefully he noticed that its a Key Stone. Julian ''Wait he is trying to Mega Evolve?'' Julian thought and looked closely at Aggron finally noticing the Mega Stone, it was actually hidden under Aggron''s massive Jaw right below its chin. As Julian expected Byron wanted to Mega Evolve. Byron "Aggron let''s show them that you are not going down so easily" Aggron roared as light seeped out of its Mega Stone and fused with the lighting off from the KeyStone, soon Aggron started to change as it grew bigger and more powerful. The light that covered Aggron disappeared and revealed Mega Aggron. Riolu looked at this giant in front of her in surprise, she has never seen a pokemon mega evolve in real life so its the first time for her. Julian "Trust me, it is bigger now, it will be harder for Aggron to hit you now" Riolu nodded. Julian "Let''s go ze Kick" With hismand, Riolu rushed towards Mega Aggron as her feet were on fire. Byron "Let''s not just wait for them, use Earthquake" Mega Aggron mmed its leg on the ground sending another tremor on the ground causing it to shake. Julian "Catapult once again" Riolu created her hammer and mmed it on the ground and threw herself towards Aggron, she shot towards Aggron at high speed, her legs on mes as she tried tond a powerful kick, but as she got close to Aggron she finally saw how big Aggron really got and caused her to panic, she saw this huge monster looking down on her with those intimidating eyes. With this distraction the power behind her kick disappeared, shended the kick but nothing happened, Mega Aggron didn''t feel an itch. Byron "Now, catch Riolu" As the attack took no effect Byron got ready, he was already nning to catch Riolu, with the Mega Evolution Aggron''s Defense is now of the charts, Aggron will have to take many huge attacks if any pokemon wants to bring it down. Aggron grabbed Riolu''s leg and easily and hung her upside down, seeing this Julian frowned, he realized that Riolu got intimidated by her opponent. He knew Riolu''s character, she is timid and shy, but during a battle she cannot be like this, it will be a huge disadvantage for her, so he has been trying very hard to build his trust with her, for her to rely on him so that she won''t be held behind by her nature. Riolu tried to struggle but it was useless, Aggron''s grip is very tight. Byron "Let''s finish this, use Heavy m" Mega Aggron mmed Riolu on the ground and got ready to use Heavy m. If this attacknds it will be all over for Riolu. Julian "Riolu listen to me, if you get intimidated by an opponent at this level you will never be the champion, trust me and I will lead you to your dreams, you don''t want to disappoint Shofie right?" Shofie her previous trainer dream of bing the champion with Riolu by her side but she couldn''t make it, now it''s up to Riolu to achieve both of their dreams. Hearing Julian Riolu looked at Julian seeing him nodding his head telling her to believe in him, she nodded and tried to get back to her feet, Aggron got ready to jump but suddenly Riolu started to shine blinding Aggron and stopping it from using Heavy m. Riolu started to Evolve. Chapter 372 - End Of The Battle Riolu started to evolve as her height started to grow, spikes grew out of her arms and chest, as the glow faded away Lucario was revealed, she finally evolved. During her time with Julian, she got very close to him but shecked one thing, like Julian''s other pokemon who had full trust over him and would do anything without thinking but not Riolu, when Julian said something and things are not going her way she would start to think twice, trying to find her own way to deal with it. ?? That is why she couldn''t evolve even when she got very close to Julian, but now it''s different, she finally understood what needs to be done, she just had to trust Julian blindly just like his other pokemon. Julian "Let''s keep moving, no time to waste" Julian said and Lucario followed, she moved away from Aggron. Julian "Aura Sphere" After Riolu evolved she learns Aura Sphere, she created an energy ball from her aura and shot it towards Mega Aggron, the Aura Sphere tear through the air and sted on Mega Aggron''s chest causing it to grunt in pain. Now that Riolu has evolved into Lucario, she is faster, stronger, and more agile. Her Aura has also be thicker and concentrated, more powerful and she got better in controlling it as well. Lucario is ready to crush her opponent with her newfound power. Byron "This is interesting, Aggron, let''s go all out Hyper Beam" Aggron shot a very powerful Hyper Beam once again, this time it''s bigger and more powerful than before covering half of the battlefield leaving very little space to dodge it. Julian "Since you cannot go around it, go through it, sh through it" Lucario nodded and created a long sword from her aura and charged towards the Hyper Beam, she raised her sword and shed right into the Hyper Beam, a thin sharp de of Aura got straight through the Hyper Beam, the Sword shed easily through the Hyper Beam sending it into to different direction, she charged right through the Hyper Beam with her sword and arrived in front of Aggron shocking it, shended the sh sending Aggron backward as it roared in pain, that attacked carried a lot of power in a very small surface making the pain even harder. It was just like a cut but due to Aggron''s thick armor he took the hit but it also caused a lot of damage, Lucario is more powerful than ever. Julian "Finish this, use Close Combat once again" Riolu shifted to the War Hammer again and this time she used two this time, shended both the hammers right on its face, the hits continued till she brought Aggron back to its feet again, Aggron started to lose it after getting hit so many times, pain all over its body and its Mega Evolution wearing out. Julian "Finish it" With this Lucario swung the hammer to the side of Aggron''s chin, the hit sent vibration over the whole body and Aggron down to the ground, its Mega Evolution wore off as it got knocked out. Lucario won her first fight and in style, her hammers disappeared and she looked back and Julian and rushed towards him. He got to her height and patted her head. Julian "You did great" Lucario smiled and nodded. Byron looked at this and smiled as well. Byron "Can I ask you a question?" He asked. Julian stood up and looked at Byron and nodded. Byron "Why do you do this, even after achieving so much, why start over again?" Julian "Its because I want to see the world and learn things, no matter how much you achieved you will never learn everything, there are some things in this world I know but there are also so many things that arepletely foreign to me, every battle I have I learn something, maybe its just too little but I still learn something, no matter how far you get there is always a thing to learn" Byron "I see, learning, you are still young and have a lot of ces to go, I understand" Byron nodded and walked towards him and gave him the Mine Badge, Julian nodded and showed it to Lucario as it''s her first gym badge that she won with her team. Julian "Ok, I will be leaving, I still have other things to do" Julian said and sent Lucario back to her Pokeball and walked out of the gym, now he has six badges he needs two more, but right now he is not focused on them, he had put something on hold and he needs to get back to it, his next destination Lake Acuity and then Snow Point city. He got back to his hotel and started to prepare stuff to move, he turned theputer to get informed about his next destination, Snowpoint city is huge and the home to Ice Type pokemons, every wild ice type pokemons are found in that area of the region and Lake Acuity is just located very close to it Snow Point city. Julian "Hmm let''s hope that things go well and Cyrus didn''t pull of something stupid that I will have to fix, if he crosses the line I will have to put him in jail, Giovanni is also up to something and this underworld shit, I don''t want to deal will all this shit, so let''s hope the league can handle it". He said and got back to what he was doing. Chapter 373 - Cynthias Boyfriend Snow Point city is a huge city, the snow that covers the cityes directly from Mt. Cor, making it snow even in summer, the people living there have adapted to living in the cold climate, with the help of their pokemons they live in this city made of snow. The area around this city is also very mysterious, there are legends stating that there are many ancient caves and relics buried beneath the depths of the snow. ?? Going to Snow Point will be something big for Julian, but he doesn''t know what is waiting for him, he has an intuition that told him things would never go as the way he wanted, there will always be something out there that will stop him from having a peaceful life. Julian "Lake Acuity, something has happened there, I need to get the Orb and put it back to its original ce" Julian said and finished the things he needed to do. After he was done he made a call to Cynthia as he wanted to talk to her about the Orb. The phone rang for a few seconds before it was picked up. "Hello? Who is this?" Julian heard a female voice at the other end of the phone but it was not Cynthia, it was someone else he didn''t know, but knowing that only a few should be able to ess her phone, Julian decided to have some fun, due to Cynthia he had to get scolded by Daisy and he had nothing to do with it. Julian "It''s me Cynthia''s boyfriend, can you give her the phone, by the way, who are you?" Julian asked with a smirk on his face. "What?" The voice on the other end asked in surprise. Julian "Is there something wrong? can I speak with Cynthia, I have something very special to tell her" Julian said. "When did Miss Cynthia have a boyfriend?" The women on the opposite end asked. She seemed quite shaken when talking about it. Julian "She didn''t inform anyone about it, and who are you? I didn''t get the answer" Julian continued with his little y. "I am her assistent" The woman said. Julian "Oh, good, now give the phone to her, I need to talk" "Look mister I don''t know who you are and this is not funny, if you continue this I will inform the police and how did you even get this number?" She asked. This time her voice is filled with irritation. Julian "Look,dy, I don''t have time to talk to you when I can do that with my girlfriend, now hand her the phone and let her decided what to do" He didn''t want to back down. The woman on the other end was stunned by this, she didn''t expect this man who ims to be Cynthia''s fake boyfriend, she doesn''t know what to do if the man really is Cynthia''s boyfriend than she will be in huge trouble. As she was thinking about what to do, she saw Cynthia walk out of the bathroom in her towel covering her body, Cynthia looked at her assistant and saw her worried face and got surprised. Cynthia "Bailey, what happened?" She asked in a curious tone. Bailey "Man, there is someone on the phone who is iming to be your boyfriend, I think its a prank, do you really have a boyfriend?" She asked as she looked at Cynthia. Hearing this Cynthia got surprised, even she doesn''t know who her boyfriend is because she doesn''t have one so who could possibly im to be her boyfriend, then she suddenly realized that she had given her number to Julian and realized that Julian had asked her to meet somewhere. She suddenly rushed towards Bailey and snatched the phone from her hand and answered Julian. Cynthia "This is Cynthia, I was waiting for your call" Cynthia said and entered her room closing the door behind her, seeing this her assistant Bailey is stunned, she thought that the man on the phone was a troll but seeing how fast Cynthia snatched the phone from her hand and walked into her room without minding her, she started to believe what Julian said. Bailey "Oh my god, Miss Cynthia really has a boyfriend, what should I do? Should I inform the league about it, No, I should ask her first or I might get fired" She said and sat back on her chair worried about what is going to happen, being a Champion is hard, having a rtionship with a Champion can be very dangerous as she has many enemies, even her sister and grandmother are protected by the league, if the word is out that Cynthia has a boyfriend that no one knows about his life can be in danger if the league cannot act fast. Inside Cynthia''s room, sheid down on her bed with her towel alone covering her body as she talked to Julian. Cynthia "When did you be my boyfriend?" She asked. Julian "Look at the news, every channel is talking about us because you wanted to have a small visit, so I am also ying along, you cannot me me for this" Julian said and chuckled. Cynthia "Very funny, but I don''t think you called me to make me your girlfriend, you said you needed to talk about something, so when are we going to meet?" Julian "Yes, I wanted to meet you but I think you should meet me at Lake Acuity, there is more to this than just talking" He said. Cynthia "Where are you by the way?" Julian "I am still in Canve city, what about you?" Cynthia "I am also in Canve city, maybe we can go together?" Julian "I travel alone, I think you have a team right?" Cynthia "I have but it''s not important, I can send them away" She said. Julian "Good, then meet me outside the city tomorrow morning" Cynthia "I can do that" Julian "And wear something that will keep you warm and full suit, its gonna be cold in the open air" Cynthia "Why?" Julian "Of course we are taking by bike" He said and ended the call, he could have met Cynthia at any point and exined her about what is happening but he decided to take her with him, at the end of the day Sinnoh is more important to Cynthia than Julian, he will keep travelling and doing stuff while this is Cynthia''s home and she needs to take care of it. Chapter 374 - Julian And Cynthia, Chemistry! Its the next day, Julian got ready to leave Canve city, once he got out of the hotel he hopped on his bike and rode off, he didn''t cause muchmotion when getting out, the manager tried to give him some stuff but he didn''t take it and just left. He did receive a text from Cynthia that she is already waiting for him. ?? Julian ''I didn''t think she would be there so early'' He thought and soon got out of the city. When he arrived at the city gate he saw a woman wearing big sunsses, ck mask, and a long ck tight-fitting dress, it was a bike suit, Julian thought she would wear something long that will protect her from the cold wind, he didn''t expect her to get into a bike suit itself. He stopped right in front of her and took off his mask and looked at her. Julian "What are you wearing?" He asked. Cynthia "Didn''t you tell me that we are going on a bike" Julian "I did, I told you to wear something warm, but from the looks of it, it looks like you are trying to seduce me" Julian said and looked at her body, it was totally on disy, even though her whole body was covered, he could easily see how good her figure is, she had perky breast, curvy hips and defined abs. Seeing Julian''s eyes lurking over her body she blushed and got behind him and sat down. Cynthia "You really are a pervert huh, I don''t know how you have two girlfriends" She said. Julian "Well I am a young man, and I haven''t been in touch with my girlfriends for a long time, all that built-up frustration, I cannot hold it when I see a beautiful woman" He said and chuckled. Cynthia didn''t say anything but her heart is beating faster and her face is flushed because he called her beautiful, of course, Julian is just goofing around but he doesn''t know that his little flirting may have started something already and he has no clue about it. Julian "Are you ready?" He asked. Cynthia "Yes" She said in a meek voice. Julian "Ok, hold on tight" He said and grabbed her hand and ced them on around him and rode off, Cynthia felt the wind hit her like never before which caused her to tighten her grip as she squeezed herself on his back, Julian could feel her breast being pressed on his back, he smiled and continued without saying anything. After riding for a long time he decided to camp near ake as his pokemon needed their lunch. Julian "Do you have a tent?" He asked. Hearing his Cynthia suddenly froze when she heard him. Cynthia "Tent? What tent?" Julian "Tent, so that you can sleep inside it, you know you cannot sleep in the open right, and that too in the middle of the jungle" Julian said and stopped his bike and looked at Cynthia, seeing her expression he could tell that she doesn''t have a tent and neither does he, he never needed it, because during his time with Daisy or Chloe he shared the tent with them. Julian "It''s fine we can worry about itter, let''s eat out lunch first and feed our pokemon as well" Cynthia nodded and got off from the bike and walked down the small hill towards theke on the side, she looked at her reflection on theke and took in a deep breath. She realized something when she saw her surroundings, it is very beautiful, clear water, flowers, pokemons all around her, she had never experienced this after she became the champion, she was never able to travel alone, she always had someone following her, now seeing this she realized how much she is truly missing, she has been in Sinnoh her whole life and never seen this beautiful ce. She turned around and looked at Julian and saw him setting up a table. Cynthia "Do you always find these kinds of scenery?" She asked. Julian "Indeed, that is why I travel, to find new ces, sometimes I stumble upon ces that are very bad but its also the part of the journey" He said and pulled out food for his pokemon and ced them in a line. Julian "Don''t you want to feed your pokemon?" He asked. Cynthia "No, I fed them this morning, I gave them a lot to eat as I thought we will be riding all day, they will eat at night" She said. Julian "Ok, then" He said and called out his pokemons, once they came out they stood around him waiting for him to give the permission to eat, they also noticed Cynthia standing at the edge of theke and wondered what thisdy is doing. Julian "Ok, you guys can eat, after eating rest for an hour then continue with your training" They all nodded and rushed towards their bowl. Cynthia saw them rushing towards their food and smiled, even her pokemon are not as excited as this group for their food. Julian "How about you? Are you hungry?" He asked. Cynthia "I am but what should we eat?" Julian "Don''t worry I will cook, you can rx for a while, you don''t get much time to yourself as you are the Champion right?" He teased her and pulled out his cooking utensils. She saw the smug on his face and got irritated, she knew what Julian is telling her, now that she has be a champion she doesn''t have time for herself, while Julian on the other hand who was also a champion have all the time in the world for himself. She said nothing and turned away, but she couldn''t keep her attention to herself because she suddenly smelled the fragrance that hit her nose, she turned around and looked at the cooking pot form where this fragrance ising, she could tell that whatever there is inside that pot is delicious. Cynthia "I didn''t know you could cook this well" Julian "When you are a traveler, you need to know things" He said and put the pot aside so it can cool off so they can eat. Cynthia "So what is there that the famous Julian cannot do?" She asked and smiled. Julian "Hmm, I don''t know, why don''t you try and find out". Chapter 375 - Talking To Cynthia Julian finished preparing the food and started to serve it, Cynthia took her bowl and took a spoon full and ate it, once she did she was really surprised, she knew that this would be delicious food from how it smelled but the taste is way over her expectation. Cynthia "Wow, this is delicious, no wonder your pokemons were so excited to have their lunch" ?? Cynthia said and started to eat the food, eat bite made her eat faster and she finished it in a jiff, she looked at Julian and saw Julian staring at her with a bowl in his hand still filled with his food, she realized that she ate all that in a minute, she is embarrassed by this. Julian "Seconds?" Julian asked with a smile. Cynthia "No, I am good and the food was delicious" She said and passed the bowl back to Julian. Julian "Thankyou" He said and put the thing away, Cynthia then looked at Julian''s pokemon and saw how they trained, while she saw the little ones train with each other, she saw the older ones having their eyes closed zoned out. Cynthia "Are they also training?" She asked as she pointed at Infernape. Julian "Indeed, once you reach the physical limit, its all about the internal strength, the better they are at it they more powerful they be" Julian said. Cynthia "I see, I wondered why Garchomp has not advanced after reaching a point, she has been stuck on the same level" Cynthia said. Julian "Maybe you should tell her to master her dragon and ground energy, understand once energy and wavelength is the next step" Cynthia "I will look into it" She said and nodded. Cynthia "So what is this we wanted to talk about, I think I need to know everything" Julian "Yes, I think you should know about it because Sinnoh is in big trouble, maybe not only Sinnoh but the whole world as well" Hearing this Cynthia frowned and looked at Julian. Cynthia "Why do you say so?" She asked. Julian then pulled out the Griseous Orb and showed it to Cynthia, when she saw the Orb she got surprised. Cynthia "Is that the real thing?" She eximed as she got close to Julian and looked at the Orb in his hand, she could feel the power of this Orb radiating off it. Cynthia "How did you get it?" She asked and looked into his eyes. Julian "Cyrus" Cynthia "Cyrus? How did he get his hand on this orb and how did you receive this from him?" She bombarded him with a lot of questions. Julian "For some reason, Cyrus has found a way to get these orbs, the legendary pokemon Uxie seems to be in trouble as well, my spection is that Cyrus has the hold of it" Cynthia "Cyrus has the hold of the legendary pokemon Uxie? How is that even possible?" Julian "This orb in my hand belongs in Lake Acuity guarded by Uxie. If the Orb is in my hands where is Uxie?" Cynthia "It''s captured or killed" Cynthia said as her voice stuttered, she couldn''t believe something like this could happen. Julian "No Uxie cannot be dead, Cyrus needs it to aplish his goal" Cynthia "What is his goal?" Julian "That I don''t know, but he is after these Orbs, these Orbs have the will of the three creators, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, with all these three Orbs he can rule the world, I was lucky enough to find him while he was doing something stupid" Julian said. Cynthia "I thought these Orbs were created to call the legendaries into our world" She said. Julian "That''s what the legend says, these Orbs hold their will, any one of their wills is powerful enough to destroy this whole world, there will alone can create another dimension where a whole new world can be created" Cynthia "How did you find out about it?" Julian "I had this Orb for months, I have been doing my research, these Orbs are more than just calling devices, they hold their power as well" Julian said. Cynthia "So how will you handle Cyrus?" She asked. Julian "No, it won''t be me who will handle Cyrus, you are in charge of him, I will go after this cult that worship Giratina, for some reason I think that this cult is very dangerous and I need to find them" Cynthia "A cult? I think I know who you are talking about" Julian "Do you know about them?" Cynthia "Yes, the League is after this cult but they are very dangerous, their method is cruel, the League actual found human sacrificial remains in one of their hideouts" She said, hearing this Julian frowned, human sacrifice is something that he has never experienced, he doesn''t like the idea of sacrificing a life for worship. Julian "I think it settles it then, we will go to Lake Acuity, find out if Uxie is present or not, then you go after Cyrus, get the League behind him and his Team Gctic, while I go on this wild hunt after this cult" Julian said. Cynthia nodded her head as she saw Julian put away the Orb. Chapter 376 - Cynthias Thoughts After Julian''s pokemon were done with their training he sent them back to their Pokeball and they hit the road again, it will take them more than three days for them to reach Snow Point city or Lake Acuity. After riding for quite a long time Julian stopped his bike outside the forest since it seems to be Cynthia''s first time camping from her days as a trainer, she also doesn''t have a tent that made things difficult. ?? He first let Cynthia get off then he did as well. Julian "We will camp here, the forest at night can be dangerous" He said and put the bike away. Cynthia "Its been so long since I camped outside, I was just fifteen when I was on my own small journey" She said. Julian "Good, you know how to set up a tent right?" He asked. Cynthia "I know" Julian "Good, take this and set it up, I will prepare our dinner and our pokemon also need their dinner" He said and pulled out the tent and tossed it at Cynthia, she caught it and started to set the tent up while Julian starts to set up things on which he can prepare the dinner for him and Cynthia. She finished putting up the tent and looked at Julian and saw him put up a fire without using his pokemon, having a pokemon have made people''s life convenient so seeing someone go out of his way to do something was really new to her. Cynthia "You could have just asked Infernape to do it" Julian "Well it''s just fire and if people can''t even put a fire by there own then they are reallyzy" Julian said and smiled. Cynthia "Then everyone in Sinnoh iszy" She said andughed. Julian "I know bu the real problem right now is are you going to sleep in the tent with me because we only have one" He said and smirked, hearing his Cynthia got startled, she hadpletely forgotten about it, she just realized that they only have one tent and they are not together to sleep with each other in the same tent. Seeing the reaction on Cynthia''s face made himugh. Julian "Hahaha, this is funny, don''t worry take the tent, I have other things to do, you can sleep" He said. Cynthia "Are you going to be ok?" Julian "I will be so don''t worry" He said and started to prepare the dinner, he sent out his pokemons so they can explore the area and see if there is anything dangerous around, his pokemon spread away while his Sinnoh team helped him set things up. Cynthia said some of Julian''s pokemon spreading out. Cynthia "Where are they going?" Julian "They are scoping out the area, see if there is anything dangerous out there" Cynthia "How long will it take?" Julian "Maybe 15 minutes to half an hour, pokemons don''t stay in one ce, so they have to check every corner" Cynthia "I think I can help with that" She said and brought her pokemons out as well, her whole group was present here. Julian "Great, it would really help a lot" He said and got back to cooking, Cynthia''s pokemon looked around in confusion but when they smelled the fragranceing from the huge cooking pot, their nose twitched as they sucked in the air to have a taste. Julian "Looks like they are eager to eat" Cynthia "Indeed, but they have to work for it, all of you spread out and check if there is anything dangerous around" She gave them hermand, her pokemons nodded spread out to do what Cynthia just told them. Cynthia "Let me help you with that" She joined Julian and helped him serve the food to every pokemon that is in their camp right now except Snox as he is still sleeping. Julian''s pokemon got back and so did Cynthia''s, the whole area is now filled with monsters, Cynthia''s pokemon bonded with Julian''s Sinnoh team but not with his previous region, Infernape, Tyranitar, Gengar, and Absol were just minding their own business. Cynthia''s pokemon was a little awkward around them because they have never had an encounter with pokemon that are way over their league. If it was not for Gengar and Infernape suppressing their aura they would suffocate them. After they had their dinner he sent them back to their Pokeball and Cynthia went into the tent. Cynthia "Are you sure about this? This is your tent after all" She said. Julian "Sleep tight, I can stay awake for a week so don''t worry" He said, she nodded and walked into the tent. ___________________ Inside the tent, Cynthia closed the door and undressed her self to put on her nightdress. Cynthia ''I wonder what he is doing'' She thought and looked at his solitude that is visible on the wall of the tent from the fire. Cynthia ''Should I share it with him? No, we are not even friends forget about sharing a bed with a man, and he did say he is fine with it'' She thought and lightly pped her flushed cheeks andid down on the bedsheet, she dug into the pillow and smelled it. Cynthia ''So this is his smell'' She thought as she suddenly realized what she just did and her face flushed once again. Cynthia ''Did spending a day with him just made me a pervert as well? No, I cannot be influenced so easily'' She thought and turned off the light and closed her eyes to go to sleep. Chapter 377 - Arriving At Snow Point City While Cynthia went back to sleep, Julian sat in front of the campfire, he took out the Griseous Orb from his dimensional pouch and looked at the orb, this Orb in his hand is very special, even though it has the same energy that is inside his body, but for some reason he thinks there is more to it. These beings have lived before the universe was even created, their existence holds this world together and anything that is rted to them is extremely dangerous. ?? Julian knows how dangerous it can get, the Omniforce is the most powerful force in the Omniverse, not just this universe, the stronger he gets the more distant he feels from the end, right now he doesn''t even know where the end of this power is. Destroying something with Omniforce just seems like a start, he feels like a baby learning how to walk, while he feels this way, he always wonders how powerful are these beings of the legend, one who controls time, one who controls space and one who has to power to control matter and antimatter, and above them is the creator of this universe. These beings have lived for eons and eons, they have seen several lives being born and going extinct, creating worlds and destroying them, when hepares himself to these gods he feels like nothing. Julian "Whatever this cult is after, I need to stop them, with Cynthia''s help Cyrus should be in check" He said and put the Orb away, these Orbs will always remain a mystery to him, even if he learns everything about them, it''s just a fraction of what the real beings are capable of. He stared into the fire and zoned off. ____________________ Next day early in the morning Cynthia woke up from her sleep and looked around to find herself in the tent, she realized that she had spent a night next to the forest with Julian, she looked around to find her clothes, after finding them she put them on and got out of the tent, she saw Julian at thekeside washing his clothes, he is half-naked with no t-shirt on, he noticed Cynthia has woken up and turned around to say good morning. Julian "Good morning, hope you had a wonderful night" He said. Cynthia saw Julian turn around and saw his perfect body and suddenly covered her eyes, she has never seen a man naked before, even though Julian is just topless its too much for her, her face is red as she tries to not peek at him. Julian "You don''t have to be shy" Julian said. Cynthia "No, put on your clothes, I am notfortable around men being naked" She said. Julian "I see, wait a minute then" He said and put his clothes on and let Cynthia know. Julian "You should be fine now" He said, hearing him Cynthia opened her eyes and saw Julian in a t-shirt, she sighed and looked at him. Julian "I didn''t know that the great Cynthia is so shy" Julian teased her. Cynthia "I am not shy, I am just not used to being around with men, the only reason I came with you is that I care about the safety of Sinnoh" She said. Julian "I know, that is why I called you instead of anyone else" Cynthia "d to hear that" Julian "Ok, I think you should fee your pokemons and then we head off" After saying so he started to prepare food for his pokemon as well, Cynthia nodded and did as he said. After they were done they hit the road again, riding into the forest as they made their way towards Snowpoint city where Lake Acuity is also located in the same direction. __________________ After a few days of traveling they finally reached the outskirts of Snowpoint city, the temperature has gone down drastically, during these days Julian and Cynthia seem to have gotten close, they joked around and got to know each other well. During this time there were some awkward situations between them, there was indeed something in the air but Julian did go forward with it, as a woman Cynthia is very beautiful but now that he already has two girlfriends he cannot just go around iming women without Chloe and Daisy''s approvement. Julian "We are finally here" Julian said and she could see the city in the far distance covered in snow. Cynthia "Yes we are, so should we go to the city or to theke first?" She asked. Julian "Let''s go to the city, and get some rest, we can meet up after you are ready, now cover your face or there will be another big rumor about us and it will be troublesome" He said and put his mask on, Cynthia nodded and did the same, Julian then rode off into the city. After entering the city they saw many people wearing thick coat protecting them from cold, most of them had Ice or Fire-type pokemons with them, Ice-type are reallymon in this side of the region whereas Fire-type pokemon are very shot out here, heat is something everyone desires here, so anyone that has a fire type pokemon with them are very rich. To keep a fire type pokemon healthy in this side of the region cost a lot more because they burn more and they need more energy source or food to aplish that. Julian "I didn''t think I would see some fire type pokemons on these streets" Cynthia "People in Snowpoint city are very rich, most of the people who live in this part of the region are all sessful people so it''s not rare to find fire type pokemons here" Julian "By the way? where do they find these fire type pokemons?" Cynthia "Pet shop, breederse and sell young fire type pokemons here, the fire type pokemon that are sold here are very healthy and strong as they are required to be if they want to survive in this cold weather" Julian "I see, this is the first time I am hearing about pet shop for pokemons" Cynthia "Sinnoh has many things that you have not seen" She said. Julian nodded and stopped right in front of a five-star hotel. Julian "We should rest here" He said and let Cynthia get off the bike, he did as well and put away the bike and walked into the hotel and rented two rooms for him and Cynthia. Chapter 378 - They Are In Sinnoh When both of them checked into the hotel the whole management was shocked but they couldn''t tell anyone because of the customer confidentiality policy, they are panicking because two of the most famous people in Sinnoh right now are staying in their hotel. ________________ ?? Julian got into his room after dropping Cynthia to her room which is right next to his, after getting into his room he cleaned himself up, he could still smell Cynthia''s perfume all over his body, during the time they were attached to each other, she was hugging him all the time when he was riding his bike. It was really hard for him to control himself during this time as well, he hasn''t had sex for quite a long time and his sex drive has been building up for quite a while, so a beautiful woman hugging him tightly was a hard cruel experience for him. After he was finished up bathing he dived on his bed and closed his eyes, he hasn''t slept for days because he gave his tent to Cynthia, he couldn''t find any store or small town during their trip to buy an extra tent. Julian ''I will sleep for a while'' He thought and closed his eyes when suddenly his phone started to ring. Julian ''Please, not now'' He thought and continued with his eyes closed but the phone kept ringing. Julian ''Who is it?'' He shouted in his mind and looked at his phone and saw it was Chloe. Julian "Chloe?" He was surprised and quickly picked up the phone. Chloe "Why did you take so long to pick the phone?" She asked angrily. Julian "I was just sleeping, don''t be mad" Chloe "Hehe, I was just joking" Julian "So why did you call me?" Chloe "Guess" She said. By this time Julian could tell that Chloe should be talking about her trip to Sinnoh for her tv series. Julian "I don''t know babe, tell me" He said in a clueless voice. Chloe "Ok, I am going to tell you so don''t freak out" Julian "I promise I won''t" He said. Chloe "Daisy and I are in Sinnoh" She said. Julian "WHAT?" Julian shouted, he thought they would inform him about it first before boarding their flight, he had no idea that they are already in Sinnoh. Chloe "Surprised?" Julian "Yes, where are you guys, I cannot wait to meet you both" He said. Chloe "Don''t worry we will meet soon, Daisy and I are going to Snow Point city as there will be our first shoot" Julian "Really?" Chloe "Yes, anything wrong?" Julian "No, not at all, I am in Snow Point city, I cannot wait for you guys" Julian said happily. Chloe "Looks like you are really happy" She said and giggled. Julian "How can I not be, I have not seen both of you for quite a long time" Chloe "Ok enough ttering, we might arrive there in evening or night" She said. Julian "Ok, I will be there waiting for both of you" Chloe "No, you don''t need to, tell us where you are staying we wille over" Julian "Ok, I will send you the address" He said and quickly sent a text over to Chloe. Julian "By the way, where is Daisy?" Chloe "She is talking with my assistant, something about work" Julian "I see, I cannot wait to meet you guys" Chloe "So" Julian "So?" Chloe "How was Cynthia, I heard about your scandal, is she really that good that you forgot about us" Chloe asked. Julian "No way, don''t joke around, you know I love both of you, I won''t do anything behind your back" Chloe "What if we gave you the permission?" She asked and giggled. Julian "Well if I have the permission to pursue Cynthia, then I might do it" He said and chuckled. Chloe "You are a pervert, you know that right" Julian "It is you and Daisy''s fault for leaving me all alone" Chloe "Oh, you are frustrated huh? looks like it''s going to be a long night" She said with a seductive voice. Julian "You really know me huh?" Chloe "Of course I know you, or I would not be in love with a man who cannot focus his attention in just one woman, I know you, a single woman cannot satisfy you" Chloe said. Julian "Why do you say so?" Chloe "I have seen normal men having more than one wife, but you are different, both Daisy and I know that this day wille where we need to share you and we were ready for it, its already a miracle that you didn''t make a move on a woman for such a long time" Julian "You really don''t trust me, do you?" Chloe "I trust you, you will always love me and Daisy, but when ites to your sex life things can be different" Julian "What is so different about it?" Chloe "You know how it is" She said with a low voice, it seemed like she was embarrassed talking about it. Julian "I don''t. Exin it to me" Julian teased her. Chloe "You know that you are not satisfied with just one round, you kept both of us up all night while we did it" She said embarrassed. Julian "So you are saying you don''t want it?" Chloe "NO, I didn''t say that. I love it and so does Daisy, we are waiting for your touch for quite a long time" Julian "And I am the one who is a pervert" Chloe "It is you who made us like this, I don''t know what will happen to the ones who wille in future" She said and giggled. Julian "Chloe" Julian said seriously. Chloe "What?" Julian "Are you so certain that I will have another partner in the future?" Chloe "Julian, I know its unavoidable, when I am with you it''s different, I am not the only one, any woman who will be with you will fall in love with you, it''s unavoidable, both me and Daisy know this and we still choose to be with you because we love you" Julian "Looks like you two really know me" He said. Chloe "Ok bye, we will be there so don''t worry about it" She said and ended the call, Julian put the phone away and looked at the ceiling, he knew what Chloe said is true, no matter how much he loves them, his body is different, he is not human even if he looks like it, he can be a god if there was no restriction on his body, his body and heart would always crave more than anything, love, and lust. He sighed and closed his eyes. Julian ''Even if the future there are more, you two would always be the most special to me'' He thought and went to sleep. Chapter 379 - Talk With Cynthia Since both Chloe and Daisy areing back Julian decided to prepare a wee surprise for them. Julian "I still have a lot of time, I can prepare a thing or two before they arrive" ?? He said and decided to go for a little shopping at the nearest store. When he got out of his room he saw Cynthiaing out of her room as well. Cynthia "Where are you going?" She asked as she saw a happy smile on Julian''s face, she had never seen him happy like this before. Julian "My girlfriends areing tonight so I need to prepare some stuff, you wouldn''t mind if we postpone out thing for tomorrow right?" He asked her. Cynthia was surprised by this news, she paused for a second and nodded her head. Cynthia "No, not a problem, you haven''t met them for quite a long time, you should spend the night with them" She said and smiled. Julian nodded and walked away, Cynthia just stood there and watched Julian walk away, for some reason she felt quite ufortable when she heard about Julian''s girlfriendsing here, for some reason she didn''t want this to happen, and even she doesn''t know about it. She walks back to her room with a heavy heart without knowing the reason behind it. ___________________ Julian goes to the nearest store and buys somethings that he needs for tonight, once he is done shopping he gets backs to his hotel room, he did inform the manager to prepare some stuff for him for the night and they agreed to it. Once he got back he started to work, as he was doing this, he heard a knock on his door, he looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was still too early for them to arrive. Julian ''Who could it be?'' He thought and walked towards the door and opened it, he saw Cynthia standing there looking at him. Julian "Cynthia" Cynthia "Ya, you said your girlfriends areing so I thought of helping you out" She said. Julian looked at her and felt something was off but he decided to not bother with it. Julian "Ok, you can help me with this" He said and passed down the things to her and started to prepare things alongside with Cynthia. Cynthia "So how did you guys meet?" She asked as she prepared the table. Julian "Chloe, I met her at the elevator, I didn''t believe in love at first sight but it happened with Chloe, I fell in love with her" Cynthia "I see and what about Daisy?" Julian "Daisy, I met her during my stay at Professor Oak''sb, we talked and were friendly with each other, as time passed something changed and we fell in love" He said. Julian "What about you have you ever fallen in love?" Cynthia "Me? I cannot afford to love, my work cannot allow me such privilege" Julian "I don''t think that being a Champion restricts you from falling in love or have a lover" He said andughed. Cynthia "Indeed being a champion doesn''t restrict me but being in such a powerful position leave you vulnerable, your loved ones are always in danger, my sister and grandma might also be in danger if not for the league protecting them, I would not be able to leave them alone or take this position" Julian "I understand, when they left I sent my pokemons to be with them, to protect them, and staying always by their side" Cynthia "I see, I see you love them a lot, they must be lucky" Julian "I am as well, they changed me a lot" He said. Cynthia "d to hear that, and it looks like everything is done here, I should take my leave" She said and nodded. Julian "Thanks for the help, let''s talk tomorrow" Julian said. Cynthia nodded her head and walked out of Julian''s room and went into hers. Julian "It''s done" Julian said and took a final look at the room that he and Cynthia decorated. Julian "Now I have to wait for them" He said and sat down in front of the TV and turned it on to update himself to the happenings in the region and around the world. ______________________ It seven in the evening and Julian is getting a little worried but with Gardevoir and Flygon by their side he has nothing to worried about, he has been keeping a check on them so that they don''t miss their training and are still growing. He closed his eyes and thought about his days with Chloe and Daisy when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring once again. Julian ''It must be them'' He thought and walked towards the door and opened it and saw two women standing in front of him, he was right it was Chloe and Daisy. When they saw Julian they threw their suitcase to the side and jumped into Julian''s arms. Daisy/Chloe "We missed you" They said. Julian "Me too, I missed both of you" He said and hugged them tightly. Julian "Come on, get in, I will take those suitcases" He said and told them to get in, they looked at each other and walked in to find the ce fully decorated, the room is dimly lit with candles and there is a round table in the middle with three chairs and some things to eat on them. Chapter 380 - Dinner Daisy "Wow" Chloe "Indeed, wow, don''t tell me you did all of this for us?" ?? Chloe asked and turned around to see Julian. Julian "How could I not, I love both of you, I wanted to do something special as we are meeting" Chloe "Thank you so much" Chloe said and rushed towards him and kissed him on his lips. Julian "I missed that" Julian said and turned towards Daisy who is looking at him, she seemed shy. Julian "What are you waiting for,e here" He said and let Daisy get into his arms and he kissed her as well. Chloe "Daisy, don''t tell me you are shy of our own boyfriend?" Chloe said and chuckled. Daisy "No I am not, its been so long, I got emotional" She said. Julian "Come, let''s enjoy this night and tell me about your time in Kalos" Julian said. As they were about to sit down on the chair, Julian''s pocket started to shake and Crystal popped out its head and looked at Chloe and Daisy, he had sent Crystal to sleep after giving it some milk to drink, he didn''t expect Crystal to wake up so early. Both Chloe and Daisy were surprised by the little one that just popped out its head. Chloe "So this is Crystal huh? It is so cute" Chloe said and pulled out Crystal from Julian''s pocket and hugged Crystal tightly, Crystal didn''t seem to mind Chloe hugging it at all because it felt something familiar inside Chloe, the same thing it feels inside Julian. Daisy "Me too, I want to hug it as well" Daisy took Crystal from Chloe''s hand and hugged it carefully. Crystal is fine with Daisy as well. Chloe "I didn''t think Crystal would be this cute in person, I always wanted to meet it" Chloe said as she looked at Crystal snuggle in Daisy''s hand with a smile on its face. Daisy "By the way, what''s its gender?" Daisy asked. Julian "It doesn''t have one, like any other legendaries out there, except Heatran" Chloe "Legendary? I thought it was an unknown species" Julian "In the public eye, it is, but it hatched from the Mew egg that I got" Daisy "So that egg was from Mew?" Julian "Yes it was" Chloe "Well whatever, Crystal is very cute and it doesn''t matter what gender it is" Chloe said and took Crystal from Daisy''s hand and patted its head slowly. Julian "Looks like you two came here to meet Crystal and not me, you are fighting over it than me huh?" Chloe "Of course, we came to see Crystal, who would care about a pervert like you" Hearing this Daisyughed and looked at Julian and smiled. Julian "Come let''s eat, you guys must be hungry" Julian said and brought them to the table. Julian "And Crystal you should leave us alone, I want to spend some time with them, ok?" Julian asked and took out Crystal''s Pokeball, Crystal nodded its head and pressed the button on the Pokeball and went in. Daisy "Why did you send it back, I wanted to y with it for a while" She said. Julian "It looks like you really are here for Crystal, I am heartbroken" Julian said and chuckled. Chloe "Ok we get it, Daisy, you don''t want Crystal toe between you and Julian during that time do you?" Chloe said and giggled, hearing her Daisy turned red and pinched Chloe on her arm. Chloe "Ouch" She said and rubbed her arm to relieve the pain. Julian "Come, let''s eat" He said and served them their favorite food and drinks, both of them enjoyed their food, its been a very long time since they have eaten food prepared by Julian and they missed it very much. Daisy "I was delicious, I missed it" Chloe "Yes, I was craving for this" Both of them were happy and kissed Julian on his cheek. Daisy "By the way, whose help did you get to prepare this room?" She asked as she looked around. Julian "How did you know?" He asked in surprise. Daisy "No matter how talented you are you alone cannote up with this, I know you" Julian "Haha, you got me, Cynthia helped me" Julian said. Chloe/ Daisy "Cynthia?" They both asked in surprise. Julian "Yes, she is in the room next to ours, when I said you both areing she decided to help" He said. Chloe "Wait a minute, what is she doing with you in the same hotel, I don''t mind you having her as a mistress but you lied to me about not having any rtionship with her" Chloe got a little angry. Julian "Calm down, I would never lie to you. If I did I would have not told you about Cynthia being here" He said and patted her head calming her down. Chloe "I am sorry" She said and lowered her head. Julian "Don''t worry, I came with her to Snowpoint City, Sinnoh might be in danger and she is the champion of this region so I needed her help" Julian said. Daisy "Danger? I told you to not get yourself in trouble right, I am scared that something will happen to you" Julian "Don''t worry nothing will happen to me and I can never let thousands of lives hanging in the hands of some stupid idiot who thinks he or she can take over the world" Julian said. Chloe "Ok, let''s not talk about it, we met after months, I don''t want us to fight over it, and you, I want you to tell me about the time you spent with Cynthia" Chloe said and got up from the chair and walked to the bed and checked how it is. Chloe "I can''t wait" She said and smiled seductively as she removed the top button of her shirt showing her big cleavage to Julian. Julian "You really know me very well" He said and got up, Daisy also walked next to Chloe and opened her top button as well showing her cleavage. Julian "Looks like it''s going to be a long night". He said and walked towards them. Chapter 381 - Up All Night Julian walked towards Daisy and Chloe and put his hands on their faces. Julian "Looks like both of you were waiting for this night huh?" ?? He asked and hugged them. Daisy blushed hearing this. Daisy ''Of course not, since Chloe is doing it I decided to do it as well" She said. Chloe "Oh my god, you are such a liar, you were the more excited one out of us who was very eager to meet our darling" Julian "So you were not interested in meeting me huh?" Julian asked and grabbed her butt and squeezed it, Chloe squeaked as she felt Julian''s arm over her butt-cheek. Daisy giggled as she saw the look of surprise on Chloe''s face. Julian "Well, to be honest, I was also waiting for this day" He said and lifted both of them up with him and tossed them slowly on the bed, he also went in andid between them and kissed them, being with them in the bed once again he realized how much he missed their touch. He slowly undressed both of them as he saw their plum body in front of his eyes, he kissed them one after the other causing them to moan lightly, Julian saw Chloe wearing ck and Daisy wearing red underwears, he slowly removes them as he sees thempletely naked once again. Julian "You both look beautiful" He said and moved in. The whole night the room was filled with them moaning in pleasure. __________________ While Julian, Chloe, and Daisy are having sex they have no idea that their neighbor has caught their attention, Cynthia is on her bed as her face is flushed red as she can clearly hear the moans of Chloe and Daisying from the other side of the wall. Her body feels hot as she gets wet down there. Cynthia ''I didn''t think there would be a day in my life where I will fantasize about a man who I met just a few days ago'' She thought and slowly removed her pajama pants and started to rub her wet vagina as she moaned lightly, she imagined herself being there with Julian and his girlfriends, she imagined Julian kissing her as his hands go over her naked body causing her to shiver. She imagined herself being with Julian until she came, she looked at her wet finger and realized what she did and got embarrassed. Cynthia ''Cynthia what are you doing? Don''t tell me I am in love with him? No, I can''t, he already has two girlfriends'' She thought and went to sleep as she didn''t want to think about it right now. __________________ Back in Julian''s room both Chloe and Daisy are tired resting their heads on Julian''s chest. Chloe "We really missed this feeling didn''t we?" She said. Daisy "Yes, we did, whenever we tried it we could never achieve it" She said. Julian "Wait? What do you mean by we tried it?" Julian asked as he got curious. Daisy realized that she told something stupid and got embarrassed. Chloe "You really can''t keep anything to yourself do you?" Chloe said as she got annoyed. Julian "Wait? What are you guys talking about?" He asked as he looked at his girlfriends. Daisy "We....." Daisy said and looked at Chloe Chloe "Ok, ok, I will tell, when we missed your touch, we both had sex together using some props imagining you being with us" She said while being embarrassed as well. When they felt lonely they yed with each other thinking Julian is with them, they even bought some toys that are of his size. Hearing this Julian was surprised but he didn''t me them, when he is alone he also imagines begin with them while he relieves himself off. Heughs making them more embarrassed about it. Julian "Don''t think about it, it''s normal I think it''s pretty sexy, knowing that both my girlfriends y with each other when I am not around, is this also called cheating?" He asks andughs. Daisy "Very funny" She said and turned away. Chloe "Looks like you made her mad" She said and giggled. Julian "Then I have to make up to her" He said and put his arms around her and grabbed her breast and fondled them, Daisy moaned and tried to get away but Julian''s grip was tight, he then moved in from behind and started to y with her vagina. Julian "Chloe? I think I need some help" He said and put Daisy right on top of him, Daisy is surprised by this. Chloe "Don''t mind me" Chloe said with a smile and suddenly got on top of Daisy catching her by surprise again. Daisy "What are you doing?" She asked. Julian "I am waiting" Julian said. Chloe "I am on it" She said and suddenly kissed Daisy, Julian also moved in and inserted his dick inside her as he fondled her breast. The went for another long round as Daisy''s and Chloe''s moans echoed inside the room once again, this, of course, didn''t help Cynthia at all as she could clearly hear everything. Chapter 382 - Confronting Cynthia Its next morning and Julian gets up and stretches his body, he looks at his two very beautiful girlfriends and smiled, he bent down and kissed their forehead and saw them smile lightly. Julian ''They must be dreaming'' ?? He thought and got up from the bed and prepared some breakfast for the three of them, after that he took a quick shower while he let the food cool down. Smelling the delicious breakfast both of them woke up and looked at the kitchen where they saw Jason preparing the dish. Julian "Both of you, clean up, we are going to have breakfast and I also have something to do today" Julian said. Both of them got up from the bed and put on a towel over their naked body and smiled at Julian. Chloe "What are you doing today?" She asked. Julian "I have to go to Lake Acuity with Cynthia, I need to find something there" He said. Chloe "Oh? Can wee as well?" She asked. Julian "Hmm, you want toe? why?" He asked. Chloe "I wanted to meet the famous Cynthia, even Daisy was talking about meeting her, aren''t you Daisy?" Chloe said and looked at Daisy, for a second Daisy looked clueless but she soon nodded her head agreeing to Chloe''s statement. Daisy "Yes, I also wanted to meet her" She said. Julian "Oh, if you really want to meet her you can just go and knock the door that is next to ours" Julian said and smiled. Chloe "No, you don''t understand us girls, we want to talk for a long time" She said. Julian "Ok, you cane but aren''t you busy with your shooting?" He asked. Chloe "Yes about that, the shooting can wait, I told the team that I wanted to spend some time with you" Julian "I see, I am lucky then, the famous Chloe has time for her lonely boyfriend" Julian teased her. Chloe "You poor thing" She said and walked towards him and kissed him. Julian "What are you waiting for?" He asked Daisy. Daisy also walked towards him and gave him a kiss. Julian "Ok, now both of you, get ready quick or I will be leaving" He said. The giggled and walked into the bathroom to clean themselves up while Julian prepared their breakfast, soon they came out of the bathroom dressed up beautifully and saw down on the breakfast table and looked at the delicious breakfast that Julian prepared for them. Daisy "I don''t know if I can leave you again after you feed us all this delicious food" She said and took a bite of the omelet. Chloe "Yes, I can''t imagine not having this again, I craved it so much during the time of my training" She said. Julian "Good, with this I have a guarantee that you both wille back to have some more" He said and smiled. They finished their breakfast and Julian got back to preparing things. Chloe "You know, we want to talk to Cynthia so we will go and talk to her, you can directlye there" She said. Julian "I just hope you don''t trouble her" He said and looked at the mischievous smile on Chloe''s face. Chloe "We won''t, Daisy let''s go" She said and pulled Daisy away with her out of the room, once they got out Daisy stopped her and looked at her. Daisy "What are you doing?" Daisy asked her. Chloe "Of course seeing if Cynthia is good enough for Julian" Daisy "Why would you do that?" She asked worriedly. Chloe "You know right, we cannot be the only one in his life right?" She said. Daisy "I know" Chloe "Tell me how long did it take for you to fall in love with Julian?" Daisy "Two to three days" Chloe "Wow, it was only a day for me" Chloe said. Daisy "What do you mean?" Chloe "From what Julian said, Cynthia and he spent more than four days together alone, do you think she is not affected by his charm, you and I both know that Julian is special, he has this special aura that no woman can resist, and we alone cannot handle him, just like what happened tonight" Chloe said. Daisy "I understand" Chloe "And us being his first, every woman that wants to be with him has to go through us, you know he loves us more than anything in this world right?" Daisy nodded her head. Chloe "Then let''s go" She said and knocked on the door of Cynthia. _________________ Cynthia is getting ready for her trip to Lake Acuity with Julian when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring. Cynthia ''Is he here?'' She thought and straightened her dress and looked into the mirror to see if anything is wrong with her dress or not. She then walked towards the door and opened it and saw two beautiful women standing in front of her, she knew who these two are, Chloe and Daisy, Julian''s girlfriends. Cynthia "Miss Chloe and Miss Daisy, how can I help you?" She asked in surprise, she didn''t expect to meet them like this at all. Chloe "You are beautiful, can wee in?" She said. Cynthia "Yes please,e in" Cynthia is confused but she let them in any way. Chapter 383 - Girl Talk Daisy and Chloe walked into Cynthia''s room and look around, they are impressed by how well maintained the room is, everything Cynthia owns in ced perfectly not being an eyesore. Chloe "Looks like you know how to maintain a room" ?? Chloe said. Cynthia "Yes, I like my room clean, by the way why are you guys here? Anything wrong?" Cynthia asked and got nervous. Usually, she is not the type to be nervous around people but being in front of Julian''s girlfriends makes her feel very uneasy, she felt like she will get judged by them. Chloe "Oh yes, there is a problem" Chloe said and stared at Cynthia, hearing this Cynthia''s nervousness increased. Chloe "Hehe, just kidding, I came here to say thank you for helping Julian yesterday, he praised you a lot you know" Chloe said. Hearing this Cynthia blushed a little like the part about Julian praising her hit right on the spot, seeing her reaction Chloe looked at Daisy and Daisy nodded their head. They knew Julian''s charm has already captured Cynthia and there is no escape from it. She walked towards Daisy and whispered in her ears. Chloe "Its already a sinking ship" She said. Daisy "Indeed, she is already blushing just because Julian praised her" Daisy also whispered in Chloe''s ear. Chloe nodded her head and looked at Cynthia. Cynthia is confused, being stared by Chloe and Daisy. Cynthia "What is it?" She asked. Daisy "We have some questions for you" She said. Cynthia "About what?" Chloe "Let''s sit down first" Chloe said and brought Cynthia to her bed and all three of them sat down. Daisy "I heard you spent near a week with Julian, what happened between you two?" Daisy asked. Hearing this Cynthia got startled and looked at Daisy with a frown, she didn''t understand what Daisy is asking her. Chloe "Daisy, you should let me ask the questions, what she really is asking is how did you spend your time with Julian" She said. Cynthia "Oh, on our way here we just stayed together, but we didn''t share the tent, Julian gave it to me while he stayed outside, I promise nothing happened between us" Cynthia thought that Chloe and Daisy are suspecting her in seducing Julian Chloe "We know you did nothing wrong, we think its the opposite" She said and looked at Cynthia with pity. Cynthia "What? No Julian didn''t do anything with me, I promise" She said confessing. Daisy "You don''t understand, Julian doesn''t need to flirt to attract women towards him, just spending time with him will make someone like him very much, I don''t think you are immune to his charm" Daisy exined what she wanted to say clearly to Cynthia. Cynthia freezes as she hears this. Chloe "So Cynthia tell me, do you like Julian?" Chloe also didn''t expect Daisy to ask directly to Cynthia about her feelings, but she decided to go along with it. Cynthia became red as she tried not to look at Chloe or Daisy. Daisy "No need to worry about us, just tell us if you like Julian or not?" She asked. Cynthia "Maybe, I don''t know, I just met him a month ago" She said. Chloe "I see, we can confirm that you like Julian and we are not going to stop you from pursuing him, it is all up to you if you can win him over or not" She said. Cynthia "What?" Chloe "Indeed, Julian is not someone that can be alone with just a single woman, even if he loves someone from his heart, he might be able to resist himself but if someone speciales to his life he will let them in, the same thing happened with Daisy, she made her way into his life" Chloe said. Cynthia just sat there processing what is happening right now. Daisy "I think you are a good match for Julian, he likes strong woman, so it might be easy for you" Daisy said. Cynthia "I don''t k-" Suddenly they heard a knock on their door, all three of them looked at the door after hearing the knock. Julian "Chloe, Daisy, are you inside?" They heard Julian from the other side. Daisy "He is here, are you ready?" Daisy turned toward Cynthia and asked. Chloe "Of course, you have something to do with Julian right, don''t tell me you forgot" Cynthia "Ah, yes, Ipletely forgot" Chloe "I see you are more worried about how to impress Julian" Chloe suddenly teased her. Daisy got up from the bed and walked towards the door and opened it to see Julian waiting on the other side. Julian "What are you guys doing, our ride is already here" Julian said. Daisy "We were just having some girl talks, you should wait for use at the entrance we wille there in a minute" Daisy said and closed the door catching Julian by surprise. Julian "I just hope they are not up to something" He said and sighed, he then walked away and got into the elevator to exit the hotel. Chapter 384 - Lake Acuity Julian got outside the hotel and saw his ride waiting outside, he had booked a car for the four of them so they can go to Lake Acuity, he didn''t expect Chloe and Daisy to arrive at Sinnoh so early and surprise him. His main focus right now is to see if Uxie is present in Lake Acuity or not, if its still living there he can give back the orb and if it is not, he has to let Cynthia handle all the investigation and track down Cyrus''s hideout because Julian knows Cyrus won''t be keeping Uxie in his main headquarters. ?? It is too risky as it might be the first one to get attacked by anyone who holds a grudge against Cyrus. Julian ''Please be there'' Julian prays and hopes that Uxie is still living in theke. He waits for a while and finally sees thediesing out of the hotel, all three of them are wearing a mask, covering their face, seeing this Julianughs awkwardly, if he was a normal civilian he would be far away from his group as it looks like a bunch of criminals is hiding their face, luckily the three beingdies helps in keeping attention away from him. He opens the car door and gestures thedies to get inside, they nod and get inside the car, Julian then walks towards the front passenger seat and sits down as well. The driver looked at these four people wearing masks, it seemed off to him but he cannot cancel it now because he has already received the payment and the pay was higher than normal. Julian "We are ready. let''s go" Julian said and signaled the driver to move, the driver nodded and rode off towardske Acuity, during the whole ride there was an awkward silence, Julian kept his focus on the road while Cynthia, Chloe, and Daisy were behind thinking about something, they would sometimes break the silence by talking to each other, asking questions about Cynthia''s life. After an hour they finally arrived at the outskirts ofke Acuity, Julian got out of the car and opened the door for Chloe who was sitting next to it, from the same door Cynthia and Daisy also walked out. Julian "You can go" Julian told the driver and walked into the forest that was next to the road, the driver nodded and rode off as he didn''t want to stay with this weird group anymore, Cynthia and the others followed him into the forest as they carefully moved forward as wild pokemons tend to attack out of nowhere. Julian "Its all right, no need to worry about wild pokemons they won''te near us" Julian said as he saw the three walking very carefully inside this forest. Since Gengar is releasing his presence no pokemon would try to get close to them. Julian "Theke should be near, once we get there we can rest" Julian said and thedies nodded their head. After walking for a while they finally sawke Acuity in front of them, to their surprise there is ayer of ice on the top covering theke. Seeing this Julian frowned, he rushed towards theke and finally saw the wholeke, it waspletely frozen. Julian ''As I suspected, there is no sign of Omniforce here'' He thought and looked at his rough reflection on the smooth ice, he made a fist and punched a hole straight through it to see if there is even a little Omniforce present that is being blocked by this sheet of ice. The threedies also walked in and saw the beautifulke in front of them, Daisy and Chloe are in awe as to how beautiful thiske looks but Cynthia has apletely different reaction, she frowns and walks towards Julian. Cynthia "Lake Acuity was never known to freeze, something is wrong" She said. Julian "Indeed something is not right, I think Uxie is not here" He said. Cynthia "Are you sure?" She asked, worried about the future of thiske and Uxie. Julian "Wait for a minute" Julian said and tapped his pocket to wake up Crystal who is sleeping inside his pocket, Crystal gets up and pops its head out to look around, it sees all the snow and ice around the ce and gets excited, it floats out of Julian''s pocket and looks around and finallyes and sits down on Julian''s shoulder. Julian "Crystal, do you sense anything familiar here?" He asked Crystal. Hearing Julian, Crystal tilts its head and looks around and finally points at Chloe and Daisy with a smile on its face, seeing this Julian is embarrassed because he knows what Crystal is sensing, his scent and aura are all over Chloe and Daisy. Julian "No Crystal, I am not talking about them, can you sense any aura simr to the friend you made inke Valor?" He asked. Crystal tilts its head again and looks at theke in front of it and sniffs with its tiny nose and shakes its head as it didn''t sense anything. Seeing this Julian can confirm that Uxie is not inside theke, Crystal could easily detect both Azelf and Mesprit even when they were hidden inside the other dimension, and now that Crystal is stronger and having no reaction only means one thing, Uxie is not present here. Julian gets back to his feet and looks at thedies. Julian "Let''s eat, then we can talk, I hope you are fine with it right?" Julian said and turned towards Cynthia asking if she is ok with this. Cynthia "Fine with me". Chapter 385 - Meeting Them Again The four of them sat down while Julian prepared something to eat for all of them after they sat down Julian let out his pokemons so they can move around and explore the area while he has some talk with Cynthia and others. Seeing all of Julian''s pokemon Chloe and Daisy got excited many of them they had met after a long time, Absol, Tyranitar, Snox and Infernape, they have already met Gengar as he is always in Julian''s shadow. ?? Chloe "Oh, Ipletely forgot" She said and tossed out three pokeballs and came out three pokemons, her Smence, Staraptor which was just a Starly thest time Julian saw him and finally Julian''s Flygon. Seeing Flygon Julian got emotional but he didn''t show it on his face, Flygon, on the other hand, got tearful and rushed towards Julian andnded on top of him, Julian hugged Flygon and patted his head. Julian "You seem to have grown a lot, good boy" Julian smiled and rubbed Flygon''s head. Julian "Go and meet with the others and be friendly with your new family as well" Julian said and let go of Flygon, Flygon then flew towards Tyranitar and Absol to greet them as they were on the same team alongside with Julian''s Hoenn team. Absol and Tyranitar greeted their friend, they have been together when they were still young and they battled together in practice. Seeing they were getting alone Daisy also decided to bring out her pokemon, she tossed out two pokeballs and out came Roselia who was just a Budew thest time he saw her and his Gardevoir, when Gardevoir looked around and saw the familiar faces looking at her she got emotional and when she finally saw Julian she couldn''t hold her emotions and rushed towards Julian and hugged him, during the first few months it was very hard for her to adjust without Julian but being with Daisy helped her a lot. Julian "You have grown a lot stronger as well, I am proud of you" Julian said and patted her head as well. Julian "Ok, go and meet the other''s, I need to talk to Daisy and Chlo-" Julian suddenly stopped and looked at his Shadow and saw Gengar peeking at Gardevoir. Julian "Gengare out and greet her, don''tin to me afterward about it" Julian said and pulled out Gengar from his shadow and shoved him towards Gardevoir, the brave, cunning, high and mighty Gengar felt awkward right now, Gardevoir saw Gengar and got very happy, she rushed towards Gengar and hugged him with affection. Gengar got startled by this and nearly fainted, he has never experienced this kind of public affection before, he has always portrayed this powerful, mean, funny elder brother that the younger ones looked highly upon. Now he is embarrassed in front of them. Julianughed and sent them away and sat down with the girls, Cynthia looked and Julian''s pokemon getting along with each other. Cynthia "You raised you pokemon well, every one of them is powerful and built up a good foundation" She said. Julian "Well let''s not talk about that, I need to talk about the bigger problem here" Cynthia "Yes, let''s talk about it" Cynthia said. Julian "Alright, let''s talk about thiske, I am afraid that what I feared hase true" He said. Cynthia "You mean?" Julian "Yes, Uxie isn''t in theke, I am afraid Cyrus has Uxie" Julian said. Chloe "So what''s going on, can you exin" She asked. Cynthia "Let me exin" Cynthia said and started to exin what she heard from Julian, hearing the whole story both Chloe and Daisy got worried. Seeing them Julian knew what they were thinking. Julian "Don''t worry, I won''t be in danger, you are worrying for no reason" Chloe "Ya sure, how can we expect you to be safe when you try to y mask hero with such recklessness" Chloe said. Daisy "Indeed, we cannot trust you" Cynthia "Mask hero?" Julian "No, its nothing, it''s just an inside joke" Julian said andughed awkwardly. Cynthia "So what should I do?" Julian "Listen, head back to the League Headquarters and track down Cyrus, his every action and also about Team Gctic" Cynthia "I understand, I will get right into it" Cynthia said and got up. Julian "Wait, no need to rush, sit down and eat, we can talk about itter" He said and started to distribute his cooked food to all three of them as Julian started to exin to them about the situations that he encountered during his journey up to date. Cynthia might find these pieces of information helpful in her research so he decided to tell them. After having their food they decided to leave, Chloe and Daisy spent their time with Cynthia trying to know her better. Once they got back to their hotel Cynthia went back to her room a little disappointed because she didn''t get much time to spend with Julian because she thought it would look weird if she tried to talk to him when he is spending his time with his girlfriends. Cynthia sighs and opens the door when she suddenly got stopped by a hand on her shoulder, she turned around and saw it was Chloe. Chloe "I wish you luck" She said and winked at her as he entered Julian''s room along with Daisy. Cynthia ''I wish I can wish good luck to myself as well'' She thought and closed her door. Chapter 386 - Spending Time With Loved Ones Once Julian, Chloe, and Daisy got back to their room they lied down on the bed next to each other. Julian "So when is your shoot going to start?" ?? He asked as he turned towards Chloe. Chloe "Tomorrow, I think we will be very busy, the shoot starts early in the morning, there will also be multiple takes and Daisy will also have a lot of work, there will be a lot of pokemons on the set as well" Chloe said and sighed. Julian "What do you think about it?" He turned towards Daisy and asked. Daisy "Same as Chloe, it will be a hard day, maybe you can make something for us to eat so we don''t feel hungry during out time working there" Daisy said and smiled. Chloe "Good idea, I cannot wait to show it off to my assistant, she didn''t believe me that you can cook food for your self" Chloe said. Julian "Looks like your assistant doesn''t like me" He said andughed. Chloe "No, she is a huge fan of yours, you know the first thing she asked me when she became my assistant was if I was really your girlfriend, when she learned that you are in this city she thought of tagging along with us, luckily my manager held her back" Julian "Looks like you already have a big team behind you" He said. He was really proud of Chloe and Daisy, he couldn''t have asked for anything better. Chloe "Thank god Daisy is always with me, it would be so hard as she handles the whole team" Julian "Looks like Daisy should be the manager" Hearing that Julian said andughed. Chloe "Indeed, I told her to be my manager but she doesn''t like to be bossy so she didn''t take the offer" Chloe said. Daisy "Well, I am good with crowds, my mentor also tried to force a manager and an assistant to me but I rejected the idea, I cannot picture myself being surrounded by people telling me what to do nor can I tell people what they need to do" Daisy said. Julian "Hahaha, looks like I missed a lot, now I feel bad that I was not with you guys" He said and stroked their hair lightly. Chloe "What about you, what are you doing tomorrow?" Julian "I think I will go to the forest and train my pokemons, I have to challenge the gym here" He said. Daisy "I see, you still want to travel across the world right?" Julian "Indeed, I really want to see how big this world really is with my own eyes, its more fun that way" He said. Chloe "But if it''s like that we cannot meet each other frequently, we missed you a lot and I don''t like leaving you at all" She said and hugged him tightly. Daisy "Indeed, we really don''t want to leave you" Julian "Come on don''t do this again, if you don''t go how can I flirt with other women" Julian said in a serious tone, suddenly he felt a slight pain on his arms, it was Chloe and Daisy pinching him. Julian "I am just joking, you know I won''t do that" He said. Daisy "Ya sure, I know what you did with Cynthia, you flirted with her the whole time you spent with her" Chloe "Indeed, even when we are around you flirt with her, don''t tell me what you will do to that poor thing when you are not around" Julian "Ok, you know I won''t do that until you give me permission that is" He said andughed, then he felt the slight tingling on his arms again Julian "I am just joking, ok I won''t do it" Daisy "Let''s bet on it, if you end up with Cynthia you will have to buy us anything we ask for and you won''tin one bit" Chloe "Great idea" Julian "Fine I will take the challenge and if I win, you will also have to do everything I tell you to do" Daisy/Chloe "It''s a deal" They said and giggled, no one understood Julian more than them, not even Julian sometimes. Daisy "But seriously, what do you think about Cynthia?" She asked. Julian "I think she is a beautiful and powerful woman, what is not to like about her, even you seem to have gotten along with her right?" Chloe "Beautiful and Strong just the type you like, are you sure you are going to win that bet?" Chloe asked and giggled. Julian "Don''t worry about me, think what I will do to the two of you after I prove you wrong" Daisy "We will see about that" She said and showed her tongue to him Julian just smiled and hugged them tightly as they fell asleep, cuddling in each other''s embrace. Crystal who had been forgotten by the three popped its head out and looked at the three sleeping happily and giggled in happiness. During its time spent with Julian, Crystal had never seen him so happy before, it understood that Julian cares a lot about Daisy and Chloe. Crystal came out of his pocket and circled around them releasing a light glow that toughed Daisy and Chloe making them feelfortable which made them smile in their sleep. Crystal then sat down on top of Julian''s chest and yawned with a squeaky little chirrup and fell asleep on top of Julian''s chest. Julian opened his eyes and looked at this little sweetheart and smiled. Julian ''This little one'' He thought and went back to sleep. Chapter 387 - Back At The Lake The next morning as Julian was sleeping peacefully he suddenly heard a loud scream which caused him to get up and looked at the source, it was Daisy and Chloe, they are screaming in joy after seeing how cute Crystal looks on top of Julian while it is sleeping. Julian "Shh, quiet down, or it will get up and cr-" ?? Before he could finishpleting his words, Crystal got up and started to cry, it didn''t like being woken up and would get irritated with it, so it will cry to show its irritation. Julian "Here, here take this and drink, go back to sleep" Julian quickly pulled out a bottle of MooMoo milk and quickly gave it to Crystal as it fed on it and went back to sleep in his hands, he then put Crystal back in his pocket. Julian "Next time don''t scream, Crystal get annoyed by loud noises while it is sleeping" He whispered. Daisy/Chloe "We understand" They whispered as well. Julian "Good, let me prepare you lunch, then you guys can leave for your shoot" He said and got into the kitchen since they asked him to make lunch for them he couldn''t ignore it, he made their favorites for both of them and packed it in a lunch box and gave it to them when they got ready to leave. They are dressed up well which caught Julian''s eye as he admired the beauty. Chloe "If you keep staring at us we might not be able to leave" Daisy "Chloe our ride is here, let''s go" Julian "Why don''t you leave Gardevoir and Flygon behind, I want them to spend some time together with my new batch, Infernape will tag along with you" He said and called out Infernape, Infernape came out and looked around. Julian "Infernape can you go with Chloe and Daisy and protect them, I want Flygon and Gardevoir to bond with others, and I trust you the most to keep Daisy and Chloe safe" He said to Infernape. Infernape nodded his head agreeing to it. Chloe "You don''t have to do this" Julian "Don''t worry about it, I am doing this for me, if Infernape is with you I will feel safe" Julian said. Chloe and Daisy nodded as they passed Gardevoir and Flygon''s Pokeball back to Julian. Daisy then grabbed Chloe''s hand and dragged her away, they bid their farewell as Julian closed the door behind them and sighed. Julian "Time to do some research" He said and sat down in front of theputer since he is in Snowpoint city he wants to challenge the gym before leaving in search of this cult. He searched for the Snowpoint gym and a link appeared on the screen, he clicked on it and arge amount of information came in front of his eyes. The gym leader''s name is Candice, she is a seventeen-year-old teenager who is an expert in Ice-type pokemons, her main pokemon is Abomasnow and the rest of her pokemons keep changing ording to the challenger she is facing against. Her win-loss ratio is 70% in the first challenge which is the second-highest that Julian hase across, first being Byron, seeing that Candice is a promising gym leader Julian is curious to see what she can bring to the table, one more this is her pokemons are stronger that Byron''s, those he used to challenge Julian were not his ace because Julian''s Sinnoh team is still not at their best, this time things can get a little slippery because battling on ice is a difficult task. Julian "Ice-type huh? Who should I choose for this battle? Cranidos has been holding off his evolution for a very long time and he should be ready to evolve as he is already at his physical limit, I will use him, and Togetic, she needs a little more experience in gym battles, she will do" He said and decided to go with Cranidos and Togetic while Victini as his backup. Julian "Now that I have decided, let''s go train then" He said and got off his seat and walked out of the room and headed toward the forest, riding his bike on the road that is covered in thick snow was very challenging so he had to apply spiky chains on the wheels of the bike, after applying them he headed straight to the forest as he didn''t want to waste any more of his time. After getting back to the forest he decided to go towards Lake Acuity, he still wanted to dive in with Crystal and see how things are inside theke. Once they got back Julian looked at the frozenke once again, the hole he had made had already frozen once again. Julian "It sure did freeze up fast" He said and lightly patted his pocket, Crystal popped its head out and looked around finding itself back at the sameke as it was yesterday. Julian "Crystal, use me Thrower on the ice" Crystal got out of his pocket and floated on top of the frozenke, it then shot a hot burst of mes from its little mouth but the mes that came out of it was enormous, it engulfed the ice on the top and melted it in a second. Julian "Let''s dive in" He said and dove in and Crystal followed behind, as Julian and Crystal entered the water Julian felt nothing, not even a single trace of Omniforce inside, he looked at the pokemon living in this water and for some reason they seem to be sick. He understood why it is like this, these pokemons have lived their whole life inside thiske that contains Omniforce and now that it has disappeared they feel weird. Julian ''This is going to be a problem''. Chapter 388 - Snowpoint Citys Trainer School After looking around theke and finding nothing Julian and Crystal came out of theke and dried themselves up as Crystal created fire. Julian "Ok let''s start training" ?? He said and called out his pokemons for their training session, the ones he will be training will be Cranidos and Togetic, both are ready to evolve, Cranidos needs a push and Togetic needs a shiny stone, the fact is shiny stone are very hard to find so he has to go and search for it, the ce where these shiny stones can be found is said to be in Iron Ind. Luckily for Julian, Iron Ind is close to Snowpoint city, after he is done here he decided to go to Iron Ind to find a Shiny Stone for Togetic but he might also try to see if there is any seller online that can sell it to him. Now that they are out Julian started to train his pokemons, aside from Cranidos and Togetic, his other pokemons were left alone to train while Julian focused on them. Cranidos has already reached his physical limit so he is training him in speed and movement. While he did a full round training on Togetic, she still has a lot of potentials to grow stronger as she doesn''t need evolution to grow stronger but that Shiny Stone will further her growth. Training camp went on for hours and Cranidos and Togetic are tired. The day ising to an end so Julian decided to get back to his hotel room, once he got back and opened the door of his room he was surprised by Chloe and Daisy preparing some food for him. Julian "I didn''t know you both knew how to cook" He said. Chloe "You know that is an insult to us right?" She said. Julian "I am just joking, so how was your day?" He asked. Daisy "Tiring, nothing more" She said and served the food, Julian then sat down with them and they had their dinner and went to sleep. The next morning Julian got up and quickly prepared breakfast for Daisy and Chloe before leaving for another training session. This continued for a few days until Julian was ready to take on the gym, Chloe and Daisy wished him luck on his way out, he kissed them and left. After getting on his bike he drove towards the center of the city where the gym is located, once he arrived at the center of the city he saw a gate that led to a long path down the snow-covered road which will take him to the entrance of the gym. After opening the gate he started to walk towards the gym, when he arrived there he saw a middle-aged woman cleaning around the gym. When she saw a young man walked towards the gym she stopped him. Woman "Young man, are you here to challenge the gym?" Julian "Indeed, can I go inside then?" Woman "I am sorry but young Candice is not present here, she won''t be here until 4 pm" Julian "4 pm? Do you mind telling me where she is?" Woman "She is a teacher in Snowpoint city''s training school for the final year students, she might be teaching a ss right now" Julian "Oh, thank you I willeter" He said an walked away, he thought of challenging the gym and move on with his n but now he has to wait till 4 pm. Julian ''Maybe I should go to the training school and see how they teach there, I have not been to one for ages'' He thought and decided to head towards the training school since it was very near he didn''t have to ride for too long, five minutes of the ride and he is already in front of the training school, since he is not a student he had to take a one day pass to get inside and see what is happening inside. Luckily he didn''t have to reveal his identity to get the pass. Once he got in he saw sses being held for trainers of all ages, from 6 to 15 age kids were in this school. All these kids were here because they want to be a great trainer, not just pokemon battles but also other ways of being a trainer, being a pokemon trainer is not just about learning how to battle but also keeping their pokemon healthy and learning other ways to keep them happy. He soon stumbled upon the final year ss where he saw the gym leader of the Snowpoint gym, Candice. She is teaching her ss the principals of battle, she is currently having a mock battle with one of her students so Julian decided to watch. He walked into the ss and sat down on the bench at the end of the ssroom. Some did notice him but since his face was covered they didn''t care much about him as an interesting battle is going in front of them. Julian also watches how Candice battles, from what he had read online she uses a straightforward battle style and sometimes pull off something out of nowhere making it unpredictable for her opponent to guess her next move. Even though she was holding back very much she still easily defeated her students but with that battle, Julian got a rough idea of how things would go during his battle with her. Chapter 389 - Visiting The Filming Site Julian sat there and listened to the pointers that Candice is giving advice about pokemon battles to young trainers that are going to start their journey. Studying in these training schools gave them the advantage of participating in the league without challenging any gym, unlike independent trainers who need to prove themselves by challenging the gyms and earning their badge. ?? While he is concentrated in her teachings Candice also noticed the new student in her ss, she didn''t pause her ss just because of one student, she continued her ss, once in a while she would look at Julian feeling something weird about him. Candice ''Why do I feel like I have seen him somewhere'' She thought and continued her ss, during her ss she would get distracted by the person wearing ck, even though he didn''t do anything and just sat there listening to her she felt intimidated. As the ss was finally over she sighed in relief, she saw the man in ck walk away from her ss, she waited until all her students left her ss and went outside, she looked around to find the man in ck, she finally found Julian as he was watching two young trainers having a battle between them. Candice "Excuse me?" She walked towards Julian and called him, Julian turned around and saw that it was Candice. Julian "Yes what is it?" He asked. Candice "Were you in my ss?" Julian "Indeed I was, is there something wrong?" Candice "No I thought you needed something so I came to you" Julian "About that, I came to change you for a gym battle when I learned you were here so I decided to give the school and visit and see what happens here" He said / Candice "Ok cool, but I cannot battle you today, I have a lot of work to do, maybe tomorrow will be a good day, I don''t have a ss so it should be fine" She said. Julian "Ok, tomorrow it is then" Julian said and continued watching the battle that is going in front of him. Candice "By the way do I know you?" She asked him once again. Julian "I don''t know do you?" Julian said. Candice "I don''t know, well I will be taking my leave I have other ss to attend" She said and walked away, Julian then hung around the campus for a while before leaving the school, since he had nothing to do he decided to go around the city and look around, he didn''t get any time to do so, after looking around the city and buying something for both Daisy and Chloe, he decided to visit their filming site. Chloe had told him that she will be filming on the north-side of Snowpoint city where there are snowy hills, so he directly headed there. When he arrived there he saw a lot of people there surrounding an area, Julian walked past the crowd and saw the filming taking ce, he saw a few camera-men walking around filming the scene, he then saw Chloe walking in with a Combusken by her side heating her up from the cold weather as she portrayed being frozen in the icy cold climate, they imitated a snowstorm by using a huge fan to blow of the snow at Chloe, Julian was surprised by how hard the crew were working along with Chloe. It seemed like an adventure series in which Combusken seems to be her partner. He watched the filming with a smile on his face, he then looked around to find Daisy and saw her on the side looking at Chloe while she was surrounded by pokemons. Julian ''Should I call her? No, I might interrupt the filming'' He thought and decided to watch till the filming was over, he didn''t have to wait for much longer because Chloe''s part was over, he decided to walk in but suddenly got stopped by a huge man in front of him, he seems to be the guard here. Guard "Where do you think you are going?" He said. Julian "I am meeting someone I know, don''t mind me" Julian said. Guard "Sorry sir but only crew members are allowed inside, you cannot go in" Julian "I see, then go and talk to either Chloe or Daisy, they will tell you who I am" Julian said and pointed the guard at their direction, the guard looked confused but he decided to go and talk anyways because he doesn''t want to make a stupid mistake. The guard walked towards Chloe when he suddenly got stopped by Chloe''s assistant. Chloe''s Assistant "What is it?" Guard "Mam, there is someone who is saying that he knows both Chloe and Daisy madam and he wants to meet them" Chloe''s Assistant "Who is it?" She asked so the guard pointed at Julian. Seeing the man in ck wearing a mask Chloe''s assistant frowned, she had never seen this man so she has no idea who he is, she walked towards Julian and stared at him. Julian "You must be Chloe''s assistant right, can I meet her now?" Julian said as he saw this short framed woman staring at him. Chloe''s Assistant "Who are you again?" She asked. Julian "Ah-, I see you don''t know me, here" Julian said and gave his card to Chloe''s assistant, she got confused and took the card and when she saw it she froze on the spot as she dropped the card from her hand, Julian quickly picked it up before others could see his ID. Julian "Hello are you ok?" Julian asked as he saw Chloe''s assistant not moving at all. Chapter 390 - Chloes Stalker Julian "Hello, are you ok?" Julian asked as he saw Chloe''s assistant not moving at all. ?? She suddenly snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the masked man before her. Chloe''s Assistant ''Oh my god, it really is Mr. Julian'' She screamed in her head and stared at Julian for quite a while. Julian "Can I go in now?" Julian asked once again. Chloe''s Assistant "Pleasee in" She said and pushed the guard to the side and led Julian to Chloe''s room as she is resting there, she brought Julian near a mobile trailer, it has Chloe''s name on it with big fancy text. Julian ''She is getting a lot of special treatment, I never thought someone who is just a rookie actress will have such a huge crew'' He thought. Chloe''s assistant knocked on the door as she climbed up the stair that is connected to the entrance door. "Who is it?" Chloe asked from inside. "Ma''am you have a guest" She said. "Oh send them in" Chloe said. The assistant opened the door and let Julian enter, he walked into the trailer to surprise Chloe and so he did, when he walked in Chloe saw her guest and got surprised, it was none other than her boyfriend. Chloe "Oh my god" She said and rushed towards Julian and hugged him, she was very happy to see him. Julian "I didn''t expect you were that good at acting. If I had not seen the cameras around I would have thought that you were actually struggling to get past that snowstorm" Julian said. Chloe "You watched the filming?" Julian "Indeed, how could I miss it" Julian said. Chloe felt butterflies in her stomach, she really liked acting but being far away from Julian really hurt but seeing how supportive he is and hearing his praise she couldn''t be any less happy. Julian "So where is Daisy?" He asked. Chloe "She is busy with the crew, she will arrive in a few minutes, until then you are all mine" She said and kissed him, Jason carried her to the nearest couch as they start to make out, it was just normal cuddling and kissing because he doesn''t want to ruin Chloe''s dress as she needs to get back to work after this. Soon Daisy also entered the trailer and saw Julian and Chloe making out and got surprised. Daisy "This is not fair" She said. Chloe "What is not fair, you were busy while Julian and I had nothing to do so we made out" Chloe said and smirked. Julian then spent some time with them as he gifted them the stuff he had bought for them, both Chloe and Daisy had to go back to work leaving Julian alone, since he had nothing to do he decided to stay here and wait for them toe back so he can go back to their hotel along with them. Julian "What should I do?" Julian said and looked around, he then saw Chloe''sptop on the table. Julian ''Maybe I should look into the Shiny Stone, maybe I can find some seller online'' He thought and turned on theptop and started to search for Shiny Stone, after a minute of looking he did find one but he had to go mos town to take it from the seller, luckily it was closer than Iron ind. Since he didn''t want the seller to sell it to some other guy he told the seller he would pay twice the money and told him to wait for a week, luckily the seller agreed to him. As he was about to close Chloe''sptop suddenly a popup message appeared at the corner of the screen, he saw the message and it read [Do you wanna hang out?] Seeing the message Julian frowned, he clicked on the message and it took him to the direct message of this person, he saw that this man has been messaging Chloe for several months now and Chloe has never replied, she even said him to stop. Julian didn''t want to look into Chloe''s personal life but seeing the message that the man has sent even after Chloe saying him to stop, it really pissed of Julian. He looked into this man and found out that he is also an actor who seems to have a lot of affairs with other actresses of the industries. Julian "This idiot is going to pay" He said and put theptop away, one thing about being the most respected man in the league is that Julian could make them do whatever he wanted to expect murder but before he decided to do anything he thought of asking Chloe about it. She already has Flygon by her side which will take care of any nuisance that maye her way, she also has her Smence as a backup as well. It''s evening so Chloe and Daisy return back to the trailer and see Julian lying on the couch with his eyes closed. Chloe "We are back" Chloe said as she woke up Julian, he opened his eyes and looked at her. Julian "I was using yourptop when I saw a message pop up from someone called Frank, is he causing you any trouble?" He asked. Chloe "Ugh, that idiot, I warned him several times but he doesn''t back off at all, he has been trying to hook up with me from the day he saw me, too bad he is no match for me, that idiot even tried to spy and stalk me" Julian "Why didn''t you tell me about this before?" Chloe "I know you are busy so I didn''t want to trouble you with these small matters" Chloe said and got annoyed as she talked about this frank guy, a smile appeared on Julian''s face but it was not a kind smile. Julian is pissed and Frank doesn''t know that his whole carrier is about toe to an end. Chapter 391 - Julian Vs Candice (1) Julian is really angry right now but he doesn''t want to show it to Chloe and Daisy, this man whoever he is, had the audacity to ask out Chloe even if the whole world knew about her rtionship with him. This guy called Frank has no idea what is going to hit him. ?? Since the day was about toe to an end Julian head back to the hotel room with Chloe and Daisy and spent his time with them as they will separate their ways once again, once Julian is done in Snowpoint city and Chloe''s shooting session will also be over in a week and they will go to some other city for their shoot, so he wanted to spend as much time he can get with them. Another day passed and Julian once again got ready and headed towards the Snowpoint gym once again to challenge Candice after preparing breakfast for both Chloe and Daisy, after doing that he left. He soon arrived in front of the gym once again, when he was here yesterday Candice was not in the gym as she was teaching in the school, now that she has said she will be waiting for him today, Julian is excited to see what Candice will bring on the table. He walked into the gym and saw the same person he saw yesterday. Woman "Oh, you are here again, luckily Candice is here this time, you can go and wait in the battleground, I will inform young Candice about you" The woman said and pointed at the battleground, Julian nodded and walked into the hallway that led to the battlefield, once he saw the battlefield he saw ayer of ice covering the whole battlefield with some ice rocks on the side and between two ends of the battlefield. Julian looked around and saw nothing different in this battlefield from the rest he has seen before, it is all the same, a battlefield where ice type pokemon have a great advantage over other types. Candice "So you are here" Julian heard Candice voice as he turned around to see her walking out of the other end of the building, she is wearing her usual white shirt with a brown short skirt and a blue hoodie tied around her waist. Julian "I am, I hope you are ready as well, I am not the average trainer you encounter weekly" Julian said. Candice "I see you are a confident person, but I do have one question?" She asked as she stared at Julian. Julian "What?" Candice "Do I really not know you?" She asked. Julian "You may know me but since I am wearing this mask you cannot figure it out, but I can say one this is that yesterday was the first time I met you" Julian said and took out a Pokeball. Candice "Well anyway, it doesn''t matter, you are here to challenge me and I really don''t care about your identity so let this battle begin" As soon as she said this the woman that Julian met outside the battlefield walked in with a referee uniform and took her ce as a referee. Referee "This will be a three on three pokemon battle, its the same rule as every other battle, the person with no pokemon left in their team loses, only the challenger is allowed to switch pokemon in the middle of the battle, are both trainers ready?" The referee gave the instruction and asked the question. Julian nodded his head and Candice said yes, both agreeing that they are ready. Referee "You may choose your pokemons" Candice went first and sent out her first pokemon, Medicham. Seeing her pokemon Julian was surprised but he understood why Candice had a fighting/psychic type pokemon in her team because many trainers would try to bring a steel or rock type pokemon to defeat her so having a Medicham was the best choice for her. Julian also sent out his first pokemon Togetic, seeing Julian choose Togetic surprised Candice, many of her challengers didn''t change their pokemon even after seeing Medicham, because they had already trained their pokemons to defend against Ice-type so seeing a Medicham would always throw them off guard, most of them do prefer sending out their strongest pokemon they prepared for this battle instead of sending a pokemon who has an advantage against Medicham but doesn''t have much training to battle a high-level pokemon like Medicham. Candice "A good choice but don''t think that just because you have an advantage will make this battle easy" Julian "I hope its a challenge, only one trainer in whole Sinnoh had made a battle interesting for me" He said. Candice "That''s a big statement, it doesn''t matter if it is true or not, I will be bringing you down" She said. Referee "Let the battle begin" The referee waved her hand and started the battle. Candice "Let''s go, Thunder Punch" Candice started the battle with a Thunder Punch, as she has Medicham on her team she trained it to battle against pokemon that has an advantage over it. Julian "Use Magical Leaf" Julian countered with Magical Leaf, he decided to keep Togetic away from Medicham, she has a good Special Defense but not a good Physical Defense so using a move that cannot be dodged is a perfect way to keep an opponent away. And so it did, the Magical Leaf hit Medicham and stopped it in its track as leaf covered with energy ripped through the air andnded several hits on Medicham. Chapter 392 - Julian Vs Candice (2) Candice ''I see, he wants to keep the distance, that''s not going to happen'' Candice "Medicham use Rock Slide and approach Togetic" ?? Hearing Candice Medicham created tons of rocks and sent them shooting towards Togetic, Medicham didn''t stop there, it used the rocks and jumped from one to another to get closer to Togetic at a very high speed. Julian ''Interesting'' Julian "Togetic, dodge" Listening to Julian, Togetic dodged the first few rocks and moved away from the trajectory of the other rocks. Candice "You are not going anywhere, now use High Jump Kick" Medicham used thest rock to propel itself towards Togetic at an extremely fast rate, it raised its knee as it started to glow with intensepressed fighting energy stored in it, but it didn''t know that a surprise was waiting for it. Julian "Now, Shadow Ball" Togetic suddenly sent out a massive Shadow Ball at Medicham which caught it by surprise, it felt the pulsing ghost energy inside that ball as it approached Medicham, since there is nowhere to go it can only take the hit, the Shadow Ballnded and sent Medicham crashing on the ground. Since it failed thend that High Jump Kick the bacsh hit it and half of its energy got drained along with the damage it took from that Shadow Ball. This round should have been over but to Julian''s surprise, the Medicham still got back to its feet standing straight taking its fighting position and staring at its opponent. Candice "Medicham, are you ok?" She asked. Medicham nodded its head and is ready to continue the battle. Candice "Use Psyshock" Julian "Counter with Psyshock as well" Both pokemon used Psyshock to counter each other, the attack caused a loud vibration and with a huge st, the air got blown away everywhere. Togetic got blow away by the burst of air while Medicham stood its ground, seeing their chance Candice made her move. Candice "Now Focus st" Medicham concentrated all its power behind this single attack as itpressed a lot of power at a single point, then it sted the Focus st at Togetic. Having no ce to dodge, it was time to defend. Julian "Use Protect" Togetic got her self back to positions and focused her energy and created a barrier in front of her, the Focus st struck the barrier and caused a huge explosion, the icy battlefield below the attack burst into pieces from the shockwave itself, the protectiveyer started to crack and soon shattered into pieces, the Focus st continued andded on Togetic and sent her flying backward but she didn''t take much damage. Since she is 4x resistant to a fighting type move and with the Protect weakening that Focus st Togetic easily took that hit. Julian "Now Aerial Ace" Now that Togetic was far enough from Medicham, she could dive down towards it increasing her speed significantly andnd the finishing hit, she dove down as a white glow covered her body, he used Aerial Ace, she suddenly disappeared from Medicham''s sight and the next time Medicham saw Togetic was right in front of it. Togetded the Aerial Ace right on Medicham''s chest sending Medicham crashing and rolling on the ground, the attack was powerful and Medicham has already lost a lot of power, the Focus st has also taken away a lot from Medicham. Medicham tried to get back to its feet as it struggled to get up. Candice "Medicham, get up" She said. Medicham got on one knee and soon stood straight on its feet but before it could even take another step, its body got stiff and it fell back on the ground right on its back, knocked out. Referee "Medicham is unable to battle, Togetic wins" The referee gave her first announcement as Togetic took the first Victory. Candice looked at her Medicham for a few seconds and smiled, she called it back to its Pokeball as she looked at Julian. Candice "You were not kidding, you really are strong" She said. Julian "I was just lucky, your Medicham didn''t know much Special Attack, the one it knew couldn''t hurt my Togetic" He said. Candice "Indeed, you were lucky but not this time, let''s go Sneasel" Candice sent out her second pokemon, her Sneasel, another physical attacked with speed. Julian looked at the situation in front of him, he could continue with Togetic but he decided to switch, Cranidos needs toe out and battle so he can finally evolve, he doesn''t want his pokemons to keep on holding up their evolution for too long. Julian "Togetic, you did greate back, You are up, Go Cranidos" Julian called back Togetic into her Pokeball and then sent out Cranidos, hended on the Ice field and suddenly felt the slippery ground beneath his feet, he was almost about to slip but he dug in with his ms on his leg and regained his bnce. Julian just smiled seeing this, this would be a really go battle for Cranidos. Since the ground is ice he will have trouble moving around as fast as he can which will put a lot of pressure on him, Julian doesn''t want his pokemons to just sweep through the wholepetition, he purposely puts them in rough and hard battles so they can learn and experience on their own. Julian "You ready, this is going to be a tough one" Julian said. Hearing him Cranidos nodded and looked at his opponent, the Sneasel. Chapter 393 - Duel Evolution Julian decided to wait for Candice to make her first move since Cranidos''s movement might be restricted on the slippery ice he decided to see what the opponent has in store for him and Cranidos. Candice noticed that Cranidos might have a hard time moving around with those rock hard feet which are not suitable for movement in ice at all. ?? Candice "Sneasel, use Quick Attack" Candice made her move by calling out a Quick Attack, Sneasel moved quickly, moving in a zig-zag pattern on ice, it was something that Cranidos cannot do so Sneasel has a lot of advantage over him but that doesn''t mean Cranidos is helpless, his defense is good while his one attack can change the whole damn thing. And tond that you need a chance and Julian is always looking for a chance to turn the favor on his side. Julian waited for thest moment to see how Sneasel moves on ice, reading opponents who are hard to catch can help a lot before Sneasel cannd an attack Julian quickly made a call. Julian "Use Double Team" Cranidos quickly made copies of himself and dodged the Quick Attack, Sneasel went right through one of the fake images of Cranidos. Julian "Now Iron Tail" Cranidos quickly moved towards the confused Sneasel and swung his tail towards Sneasel with full power. Candice "Dodge, then use Metal w" Julian "Protect" Cranidos suddenly created a forcefield in front of him blocking the Metal w, the forcefield disappeared but Sneasel was right in front of Cranidos, just the chance Julian is waiting for. Julian "me Thrower" Cranidos burst out a me Thrower right on Sneasel. Candice "Use Shadow Ball to counter" Sneasel is fast, it quickly created a Shadow Ball and sent it crashing towards the me Thrower, the two attacked shed and sted causing both Sneasel and Cranidos to take a hit since both of them have a weak Special Defense, the magnitude of that exchange hurt them both. Cranidos was sent rolling on the ice while the lighter Sneasel went flying and crashed on the ice cracking it. Both of them soon get back to their feet but Cranidos got thatst kick he needed, he suddenly started to glow and grow bigger, the bulge on his head grew thicker and long intimidating spikes grew on his head. Cranidos finally evolved into Rampardos, he finally evolved after suppressing it for so long, his body is pulsing with energy that is going to burst out any moment. With all that energy contained inside him, he is ready to burst out, his weight increased meaning the ice won''t cause him much trouble anymore, where ever he is stepping the ice beneath him is getting destroyed and giving his a nice grip. Seeing that Julian''s Cranidos has evolved into Rampardos. Candice ''This is getting harder than I thought'' She thought and looked at Sneasel, Sneasel seemed nervous. After Cranidos evolved he became more intimidating, his aura became more destructive and ancient just like he is. Julian "Rampardos, let''s do this" Candice "Sneasel be careful, let''s move, Quick Attack" Sneasel moved fast and started to run around Rampardos as fast as he can to throw off Rampardos. Julian "Rampardos, now, Earthquake" Rampardos suddenly mmed his foot on the ice floor sending energy into the ground causing it to tremor and shake as hard as possible, Sneasel got on the receiving end of the Earthquake and got hit hard and crashed on the ground once again, this time it didn''t want to give up. Sneasel got back to its feet looking back at Rampardos, it really wanted to go all out even if it was intimidated by Rampardos. Sneasel looked back at Candice and stared at her seriously, it told her something that only Candice might understand. Candice "Are you sure you want to do this?" Candice asked and Sneasel nodded. Candice "Ok then" She said and tossed something at Sneasel, it was a single sharp curved w, it is a Razor w. Sneasel grabbed it and suddenly started to glow, Sneasel started to evolve, this was not against the rules so Julian didn''t mind it at all. Sneasel evolved into Weavile, as it evolved Weavile got more confidence in fighting Rampardos, the giant ancient monster. Candice "Let''s do this, Weavile use Night sh" Julian "Rampardos, let''s finish this, one move, Head Smash" With themand Rampardos charged up, all of his energy gathered at his dome, he rubbed his heavy foot sending the ice beneath his feet. He rushed towards Weavile who is also charging at him using Night sh, they shed and with a huge boom, Weavile was sent flying through the air crashing right into the wall behind Candice, the power behind that Head Smash was devastating, even if Weavile used all its power it couldn''tpare with the raw power behind Rampardos attack. It was all over in a second. Candice was in shock right now, she thought that evolving Sneasel into Weavile would help her a lot, that is what Weavile also thought but it was over in a second. She turned around and looked at her Weavile who is stuck behind the wall knocked out cold. Referee "Weavile is unable to battle, Rampardos wins". Chapter 394 - Julian Vs Candice (3) Candice realized that after Cranidos evolved he became a powerhouse and she has to counter with a powerhouse as well, her Weavile''s defense was too low to handle that hit from Rampardos was too much for her Weavile to handle. She called back her Weavile into its Pokeball and pulled out her final card, her ace, her Abomasnow. ?? She sent it out, her Abomasnow, a huge white and green Abomasnow towered Rampardos, it stood taller than him, looking down on his. Abomasnow being a grass type had its advantage against Rampardos but it could be said the same for Abomasnow as well, it also has a type disadvantage against Rampardos as well, so whoevernds the most powerful shot might win the battle. Julian "Rampardos, ready, use Iron Head" Rampardos roared and charged towards Abomasnow as his head got covered by steel energy, pulsing with power, one thing Rampardos did have an advantage over Abomasnow was his skill set, most of his moves are very effective against Abomasnow. Candice "Take him head-on, use Focus Punch" Abomasnow also powered up and got ready to counter Rampardos, both of them shed Iron Head vs Focus Punch, while Focus Punch would triumph against Iron Head, Rampardos still has power beyond any other, the sh sent everything shattering, the ice that covered the whole battlefield shattered into pieces revealing the solid ground beneath it fully. Both of them were sent sliding backward as they once again stared at each other, both of them got a clear idea of what the other party held, Rampardos was clearly the winner of that exchange, with that speed and power it was not impossible for his opponent to figure out that Rampardos has more power behind his attacks, Iron Head is not the strongest move Rampardos knew, he has a lot up in his arsenal so he can take down any opponent with his sheer power. Candice "Use Magical Leaf" Abomasnow sent out cutting leaves towards Rampardos, Magical Leaf cannot be dodged unless it was blocked directly by an obstacle. Julian "Use Ice Beam, freeze it" Cranidos sent a freezing beam at the iing Leaves andpletely froze them, the leaves fell on the ground and shattered into pieces. Candice "Stand ground and use Giga Drain" Suddenly huge roots came rushing out of the ground trying to sap all the energy out of Rampardos. Julian "Not so fast, Rampardos, use me Thrower" Rampardos used me Thrower and burned down the roots rushing towards him but suddenly two thin roots came right under his feet and snapped onto his legs, Julian didn''t expect this at all, he actually got distracted by those powerful roots that he didn''t notice the tiny one appear so suddenly. Rampardos got zapped by a green aura as Abomasnow sucked the energy out of Rampardos. Julian "Use me Thrower to burn down the roots" Rampardos used me Thrower on his legspletely burning the roots that tied him up into crisp, the energy that was being sucked from him stopped as well. But with that Abomasnow recovered back to its full health once again. Julian ''Well didn''t expect that'' He thought and looked around carefully, it looks like Candice panned to do so since the whole Ice has been shattered Julian cannot predict attacks from the underground that can be made by nts, so he had no idea that those tiny roots woulde out like that. Julian "Rampardos, use Headbutt" Rampardos charged towards Abomasnow using Headbutt. Candice "Ice Shards" Abomasnow sent out multiple Ice Shards at Rampardos, he moved away from the Ice Shards dodging itpletely as he moved around, he got closer to Abomasnow andnded the Headbutt right on its stomach. Abomasnow grunted in pain and backed off. Candice "Don''t back down, use Hammer Arm" Since Abomasnow was not far away from he brought down his huge arm right down on Rampardos as Rampardos stood there. Julian "Fire st" As Abomasnow brought down his heave arm crashing down on Rampardos, he brought out his most powerful fire type move he knew, Fire st, and with that close-range st, there is no way Abomasnow can dodge that. The Fire stnded before the Hammer Arm couldnd, with a huge st Abomasnow got thrown on the ground and it roared in pain. Since it is 4x weak to fire type moves that Fire st hurt like a bitch. Abomasnownded on the ground as smoke came out of Abomasnow''s body as its eyes were closed. The referee saw that Abomasnow was down and gave her an announcement. Referee "Abomasnow is unabl-" Before she could finish it she heard Abomasnow growl, as she turned around she saw Abomasnow getting back to its feet as it struggled up. Candice "Abomasnow, you ok?" She is worried about Abomasnow, taking one of those close-range hits from a Fire st can be critical, Abomasnow nodded its head stating that it is fine. Julian "Rampardos, let''s go, final move, Head Smash" Rampardos once again charged up with full power, with bursting concentrated power of the rock collected in his dome Rampardos wanted to ram through Abomasnow. Candice "It''s now or never, let''s go all out Wood Hammer" Both pokemon used all their power behind their attack, Abomasnow stood its ground as it created a huge hammer made from grass energy, both the attack shed, one with sheer force will everything behind it, speed and power and on the other side is a heavy hammer with a type advantage. The sh made a huge st, everything went flying, even the users of the moves when sent flying out of the st, everything was flying everywhere, even Candice had to hold up her skirt tightly so they don''t blow off, everyone covered their eyes so that some shattered ice don''t dig into their eyes. Once the dust cloud was finally cleared up, the result was in, Rampardos was still standing but on his knees, while Abomasnow was in the huge crater that was created by the st. This time it was clear Abomasnow was knocked out. Chapter 395 - Calling Kalos Chief That final exchange had everything in it that both pokemons put into, both of them suffered bacsh as well, both used moves that would have after effects, luckily Rampardos still dealt more damage to Abomasnow that Abomasnow did to Rampardos, both suffered a huge bacsh from their respective moves, Rampardos got back to his feet as he took on a deep breath. Referee "Abomasnow is unable to battle, Rampardos wins" ?? The referee made her call and this time Abomasnow didn''t get up, it was a good battle, Julian did learn something, even the tiniest change in the surrounding can change everything. Candice sighed and called back her Abomasnow. Candice "You did great, now you can rest" She said and put it back to sleep in its Pokeball, once she was done she walked towards Julian with a badge in her hand, its the Icicle Badge, it is shaped like two snowy mountain, she handed it over to Julian, he took the badge and put it away in the badge case. Candice "Do I really not know you?" She asked once again as she tried to figure out who this person really was. Julian "As I said, you may know me but we only met yesterday for the first time" Julian said and walked away leaving the gym after sending Rampardos back to his Pokeball. Once he got out, he needs to take care of some matters, since he has defeated the gym, his work in this city is over, his next destination is mos city, where the seller of the Shiny stone is. Julian took out his phone and made a direct call to the League headquarters of Kalos itself, he still had to deal with that idiot who is troubling his Chloe. As the phone rang the other side picked up the call after some time. "Hello, who is this?" A rough but calm voice came from the other end of the phone. Julian "I am Julian, you should know about me right?" Julian said. "Julian? Who Julian, do you even know who you are talking to, how did y-, Ah, is this really Mr. Julian?" The man suddenly stopped as he realized something, he was speaking in his private phone, no one but the champion of the region and the main members of the league should have his number and the only other person who can get hold of his number is the legendary Julian. Julian "Yes it''s me, I don''t have time and I cannote there, but if Ie there I am going to kill someone, and you should know the consequence" He said. Chief "Sir Julian, please tell me what do you want, I will do everything I can in my power" The Chief said. He could tell that Julian is angry and annoyed by the way he spoke, and when a monster like him gets angry or annoyed it is troublesome. Julian "Good, then you should know that both of my girlfriends are living in Kalos right?" Chief "Yes, of course, I know, are they in trouble?" He asked Julian "No there are perfectly fine, you know I made a deal with the league right, keep both of them happy and safe and I will owe them a favor" Chief "Yes, I know and we are thankful for that" He said. Julian "Then why is there a man stalking my girlfriend and harassing her?" Julian asked. When the chief heard this he started to sweat, he knew both Julian''s girlfriends are here in Kalos but he didn''t have to worry about it because their identity was very public so no one would try to mess with them. But now Julian himself is telling him that someone is stalking and harassing his girlfriend. Chief ''This is bad news, I am fucked'' The chief thought. Chief "Sir Julian, don''t worry about it I will take care of it" Julian "That is what I expect if anyone tries to flirt and tries to get physically closer to them, I hope I don''t see them in person at all, make sure that they never get close to Chloe or Daisy in their lifetime" Julian said and ended the call. Chief "Don''t worry I will loo-" The chief heard the call end and sighed in relief as he sat down on his chair, he wiped his sweat and looked around. Chief "Anyone, get your ass here" He shouted in anger and called someone as he needs to find and deal with this soon to be dead man, luckily it is very easy for him to aplish it as he is the chief of the League in Kalos. Nothing can escape from him if he wants to find out about it. Back to Julian, he directly goes to the filming site so he can spend hisst remaining time with his girlfriends, soon he will leave and so will they. They will be separated again but they have things they want to do and they are doing it and everyone is happy. At night back in the hotel room, all three of them are naked in the bed as Chloe and Daisy rest their heads on his chest. Chloe "So we are going to separate again huh?" Julian "I guess so but we will meet again, soon, I promise" Chloe "Good" Daisy "We will miss you" Julian "Me too, I will miss both of you very much, now close your eyes and go to sleep, tomorrow is yourst day in Snowpoint City, I am going to spend the whole day with you two" Julian said and kissed them both as they fell asleep in his arms. Chapter 396 - Arriving At Alamos Town Next day during his stay in Snowpoint city Julian didn''t waste any time and spent his whole day with Chloe and Daisy, Cynthia also joined them for an hour and left as she decided to head back to the league headquarters where she will form a team to track down Cyrus and whatever he is nning to do, she did look into Cyrus and saw that some of the funds that hispany gets are from some shady party that cannot be tracked even by the league. Cynthia suspected that Cyrus is connected to the underworld after finding out about it, she now needs to clear up this mess so she is going back to the headquarters. ?? Julian is also getting ready to leave. After he gets the shiny stone he will go on a wild hunt to find these cult members and get rid of them. ___________________ The day hase for Julian to leave, he decided to take a flight towards mos town, it will just be an hour flight so he didn''t waste any time and booked the tickets for it. At the airport, he bid farewell to both Chloe and Daisy as they dropped him off and got back into theirpany van and left. Once he got into the flight he closed his eyes, his destination mos town is a very special ce, it is a very beautiful town which still follows the old traditions, the houses and building there are still made from rocks that are acquired from the hill on which the town is situated on. What Julian is most interested in the Space-Time towers as it''s the biggest musical instrument in the world, the Space-Time towers was built by an engineer named Godey, he was said to be the greatest engineer that lived 100 years ago, his Space-Time tower is still one of the Nine wonders of this world. Julian ''Space-Time towers, I don''t remember much about it'' Julian thought before he got here, he did some research on the town, the town is situated on a hill surrounded by argeke that is connected to a gigantic mountain, this mountain is a subpart of Mt. Cor but it doesn''t snow here much often. Finally, the ne starts to move as it takes the sky, heading towards mos town. Julian ''mos town here Ie'' ____________________ After 2 hours of flightnded at the airport that is situated very close to the town, since the town is on a hill and there are mountain range and water covering it, its very dangerous for a ne to fly around there, that is why they build the airport outside the town. He got out of the airport and looked around, the road is empty, not many vehicles are around, some local residents are hanging around the airport minding their own business. Julian ''This part of the town is very peaceful, looks like not many peoplee to the town at this time of the year'' He thought and put on his cloth mask and took out his bike and rode away into the town, after five minutes of riding he finally saw the town in front of him, it is a very big town, the structures look old but all these buildings are still standing for hundreds of years, what caught his attention the most was the tall tower, towering over everything in the town. The towers, Space and Time are connected to each other by a long spiral stair in the middle which leads to a circr hall that holds all the mechanism which ys the music that will be heard by the whole town. Julian soon arrives at the bridge that connects the road to the town, he saw the locals hanging around the town living their usual day, he entered the town slowly, looking around seeing how the town functions. This town has the vibe of an early civilization before technology took over, there are still royal mansions around the town, people are wearing traditional clothes and following their tradition. He took his time roaming the city until he found an inn where he could rest, the surroundings of the inn is very green and peaceful, just the way he likes, as he entered the inn he saw an olddy at the counter knitting a sweater. He walked towards the old woman and put his id card on the counter. Old Woman "Ah, it''s been quite a while I have seen a young mane to this town at this time of a year, on a vacation?" She asked. Julian "Yes, the town is very beautiful, I might spend a few days hear" Old Woman "Pleased to hear that, you should check out the Space-Time towers, I used to go there daily when I was at your age, but now these old bones cannot handle it" She said. Julian "I will definitely look into it" Julian said and smiled. Old Woman "Here is the key to your room, hope you enjoy your stay" She said and gave a key to Julian, he took the key and climbed up the stairs to go into his room, after getting in he sat down and looked outside the window. Julian ''I should inform the seller than I am here and he shoulde and meet me, once I get that Shiny Stone Togetic will finally evolve into Togekiss'' He thought and took out his phone to make a call to the seller. Chapter 397 - The Space-Time Towers Julian made a call to his seller as he wants to get that Shiny Stone as soon as possible, as the phone rings the person on the other side picks it up. "Hello?" ?? Julian "It''s me, I am in mos town for that Shiny Stone, I hope you still have it with you?" "Of course I have it, you promised to pay double the amount, how could I give it to anyone else" The man said. Julian "Good, your name is Aston right?" Aston "Yes, it is, so where should we meet?" Julian "At the Space-Time towers, I will be wearing an all-ck dress and a mask" Aston "Ok, what time?" Julian "In an hour" Aston "Ok, I will be there" Julian "Good" He said and ended the call, after doing so he started to look around the room, he soon found out that the flooring is actually made from a special type of wood and even though it looks old it''s still in a very good state. Julian ''Looks like the olddy really takes good care of this inn'' He thought and walked out of the room and decided to go sightseeing and then meet Aston at the Space-Time towers to get the shiny stone. As he walked down the thick wooden stairs he saw the old woman still at her sewing, she turned around and looked at Julian. Old Woman "Heading out to look around, young man?" Julian "Indeed" Old Woman "I see, then you should also visit Godey''s garden, pokemons love ying there, your pokemons would love it there" The old woman said. Julian "Thankyou, I will definitely visit it" Julian said and walked out of the inn, walking around the town he saw many things that intrigued him, rare items he had never seen before were actually being sold here, he found a Dragon Scale and a Metal Coat here, there was no way he could let go of this so he bought them. Once he was done looking around the town''s outer circle he decided to go to the Space-Time towers as its time to meet Aston and get his Shiny Stone. After walking for five minutes he finally arrived at the center of the town, he stood there right in front of the Space-Time tower that reached high to the sky. Julian "What a beautiful piece of work" He said. "It is, isn''t it?" He heard a voice from behind, he turned around and saw a young girl in her 17 or 18 with red hair and an Infernape by her side. Julian "Who are you?" "My name is Allegra, I am a local here" Julian "I see, good to meet you, Allegra" Allegra "Same here, so are you a trainer?" Julian "I am" Allegra "Then what about a pokemon battle, it''s a great way to introduce each other" Julian "I am not avable right now, you should ask someone else" Allegra "Oh, I see, see you then" She said and walked away, Julian has no idea who she is but the Infernape by her side seems strong, not as strong as a pokemon owned by an elite four, but strong enough to give them a good battle till she finally goes down. Julian ''He should be here by now'' Julian thought and looked around to find Aston, its time, they agreed to meet here, he took out his phone and made a call to Aston, the Aston didn''t answer but Julian did see a young man waving his hand at him. Julian ''He must be Aston'' Julian thought and beckoned him, Aston walked towards Julian with a white stone in his hand that gleamed asionally. Aston "So you are the one who called me?" He asked. Julian "Yes, I am, do you have the stone?" Aston "Right here" He said and showed the Shiny Stone to Julian, Julian took the stone and inspected it to confirm that its an original Shiny Stone. Julian "Good, it''s legit, here take the money" He said and gave the fixed amount to Aston, Aston counted the money and put it away in his pocket. Aston "You are a savior, I needed that money" Julian "Same here, then I will be leaving" Julian said and walked into the Space-Time tower to check it from inside, Aston didn''t say anything since he has already received the money he also walked away, he got lucky that he found someone who was ready to pay double the amount for the Shiny Stone, if Julian had not told him to keep it with him he would have already sold it. Jason started to walk the stairs as he wanted to go up and check out the big instrument, as he walked up the stairs he was quite surprised by how tall the tower really is, it took him 10 minutes to reach the top but he didn''t mind, he took his time to enjoy the scenery. Once he reached the top, he entered the room where all the magic happens, he saw huge gears that were connected to each other and right in the middle of the room is a beautiful carving of a forest filled with pokemon and a girl sitting on a tree branch, she seems to be ying music with a leaf. Julian was fascinated by how beautiful the artwork in front of him was. He walked around the room and saw metal disk, he read on the inte that these disks are the musical disks that y the music. Seeing howplicated the structure of this huge instrument was, Julian is very impressed by Godey who designed this tower. Chapter 398 - Togekiss After spending some time in the Space-Time tower Julian decided to visit the garden that the olddy at the Inn told him about, go down the tower was a little easier than climbing up, after getting down the tower he directly headed towards the garden the oldd had mentioned to him. Just like this tower, the park was also built by Godey, Godey is one of the most famous men who have lived on this world hundreds of years ago, there are still many engineering schools that teach about his achievements and history. ?? Julian soon arrives in front of the garden, he could already see all kinds of local pokemons ying around in the garden, but he sensed something else as well, and Gengar did as well. Julian and Gengar sensed the presence of a very powerful pokemon. Julian ''This energy, it''s as strong as a legendary pokemon'' Julian got wary, sensing the presence of such a powerful pokemon here but he sensed nothing that would give him an off feeling so he thought that this pokemon just lives here. People have lived in this town for generations and seeing that this pokemon is so strong it should have also lived for several generations, seeing that people living here have no trouble with it, he guessed its ok to be here. Julian "Don''t worry Gengar, it doesn''t look hostile" Julian said and entered the garden, once he found a spot to sit down he called out his pokemons so they can roam around and enjoy the beautiful scenery, sensing its friends are out Crystal also woke up from its sleep and popped out of Julian''s pocket and started to y with others. Julian then took out the shiny stone he got from the seller. Julian "Togetice here" Julian called Togetic and she rushed towards him as she got curious of the stone in Julian''s hand, she floated in front of his hand as she looked at the Shiny Stone, her instinct told her to grab the stone for some reason. Julian''s other pokemon gathered around him to see what is going on as they got curious as well. Julian "Here take it" Julian said and hand over the stone to Toketic, she took the stone in her hand and as soon as she did the stone started to glow along with her body. Seeing the blinding light all the pokemon around her got surprised and backed of covering their eyes, Togetic''s body started to changepletely, her wings got very bigpared to her previous body, her body also started to change taking an oval shape, she lost her long neck as her head got bigger and became the part of the body itself, three horn grew out of her head as well. As the glowing light faded away they were finally able to see Togekiss Togetic finally evolved into Togekiss, she now stands 2 meters tall, seeing how big their friend became Manaphy and Crystal were in awe, they sat down on top of Togekiss''s head grabbing on to her horns. Togekiss felt her newrge wings and got excited, she could tell that she has gotten a lot stronger as well, she pped her wings and her body suddenly lifted up from the ground surprising her as well, before she used her energy to float but now she had huge wings she can fly without wasting her energy and fly faster and longer distance. She flew up carrying Manaphy and Crystal on her head as she dashed around at full speed, she became a lot faster as well. Julian saw this and smiled, he let Togekiss have fun with her new form, an hour passed as Julian spent his time in the garden minding his own business, his pokemons also did the same as they yed their games with each other, they are on vacation so there is no training today, they were very happy, no training, eating food and ying, they could not ask for anything more. Julian sat beside Infernape as he brushed his fur. As he was doing this, something happened, a huge burst of energy engulfed the whole town, this energy caused everything to tremble. While others felt just a shock wave, Julian, Infernape, and Crystal felt much more, it was a burst of Omniforce, all of them got alerted while Crystal rushed towards him and got inside his pocket and popped out its head carefully looking at the Space-Time tower. Julian and Infernape also looked at that direction, right in the middle of the two towers, they could feel Omniforce leaking out of another dimension. Julian ''Something''s not right, why was there a breach in between two dimensions'' He thought and tried to look into the breach but he was not capable of it, even if he tried hard he couldn''t see through it. Julian ''I cannot see through'' He thought and looked at Infernape, Infernape shook his head saying that he cannot either, he then looked at Crystal and Crystal also had the same answer. Crystal has never felt this before, every time it was around Omniforce it felt pleasant and calmness but right now it felt chaotic and destructive,pletely different from its usual experience. Julian"Don''t worry it will be fine, Infernape will take care of it if things go wrong" Julian said and patted Crystal to calm it down, Crystal nodded its head and joined its friends once again but its attention was still at the space between the Space-Time towers, something there was not right. Julian looked around to see if there is anything wrong here and he saw something that took him by surprise, the stone bench he was sitting on, the legs of the stone bench arepletely twisted. He knew that it wasn''t like that before but after that burst of Omniforce this happened. Julian ''What is going on?'' He thought, he had a bad feeling about this. Chapter 399 - Darkrai (1) Julian bent down and took a closer look at the twisted leg of the stone bench, a stone can never get twisted like that so seeing this was quite a shock. He got up after seeing the result, he couldn''t find any possible exnation about this, it was as if the legs were already made like this, but Julian knew it wasn''t, the only possible theory he came up with was that the space around the leg of the bench was warped itself. ?? He sent back all his pokemon into their Pokeball leaving Infernape behind, he needed more eyes to observe this phenomenon. He walked around this huge garden for a while to find more distorted objects that shouldn''t have been in such shape, he also realized that this garden is huge, it will take him hours to cover up the whole garden. As he continued walking around the garden he suddenly heard a sting from near thekeside. Julian ''What''s going on?'' He thought and walked towards the sound of the explosion, as he kept walking he suddenly heard soft musicing right from the direction where the st was heard when he listened to this music he felt calm, both is mind and heart were in peace as he heard this music. Not only him, even Infernape, Gengar, and Crystal were enchanted by this music. Julian ''What is this music, I have never felt like this before'' He thought and got closer to theke. When he arrived at thekeside he saw a bridge going over theke and a small stone ce that looked like a resting spot, on that resting spot he saw a few familiar faces, it was ash and his friends and there was one more person with them. She is the one who is ying the music he just heard on a leaf. Julian ''So she was the one who yed that music, but what are Ash and his friends doing here, wait a minute'' Julian suddenly realized something. Julian ''Ash is here, that means something bad is going to happen for sure, I thought it was just a breach in the dimensions that the unknows will heal is a few hours but now that Ash is here I can confirm that things are going to get bad'' Julian knows where ever Ash goes trouble follows, right now he needs to find out what the trouble really is and solve it before it happens. As he stood there and listened to this young woman ying the music, he saw the effect of this music as well, all the pokemons present in the area seemed to have calmed down, he saw battle marks on the ground as he looked around. Julian ''Looks like a fight broke down and hearing that music stopped them'' He thought. The youngdy stopped her music while Ash and his friends praised her on how good she was. Ash "Wow, that was so cool, Alice what is it called?" He asked. Alice "It''s called Oracion, my grandmother thought it to me" She said. Julian ''Oracion huh? wonder what it means'' He thought. As he was about to go and visit them he saw a Gadee rushing from the woods, Gade called for Alice and signaled her to go with it, seeing that Gade was in a hurry Alice, Ash, and his friends ran towards the direction where Gade took them. Seeing this Julian also followed them without them noticing, Infernape was also right behind him. Soon they arrive at the entrance of an underground shire, when Julian arrived there he saw Alice, Ash, and his friends and another young man wearing a royal outfit standing near a pir which seems to have twisted justke those legs of the bench Julian saw before. Alice "What happened here, Alberto?" She asked. Alberto "Its that Darkrai, who else could it be, but don''t worry. I Baron Alberto will capture the Darkrai and save the town" He said. Julian ''A Darkrai?'' Julian was surprised to hear this, Darkrai is a Legendary pokemon that rules the night. Julian ''Was the pokemon I sensed before a Darkrai, well it does make sense seeing how strong the presence was, but that distorted pir, there is no way Darkrai is capable of doing that'' He thought and looked around to see if he can find anything from far away. He suddenly heard a rustle from the bushes far away and so did the others. Alberto "Haha, I knew it was the Darkrai, Lickilicky use Hyper Beam" He sent out his Lickilicky and it used Hyper Beam on the bush that just shook, Lickilicky''s powerful Hyper Beam sted out the person that was inside the bush and it was a young man wearing sses. Seeing this young man Alice rushed towards him with a worried face. Alice "Tonio are you ok?" She asked as she helped him get back to his feet. Tonio "Yes, I am, I was just looking around to see what just happened" Tonio said and took out a device that seems to be recording some kind of wavelength. Ash "What is that?" Tonio "You guys felt that shockwave of power right, it was very weird, my device hear picked up something weird so I decided to check what happened" He said and walked towards the pirs that were twisted, he scanned the pirs and found the same wavelength of energy his device read before. Tonio "It looks like the whole molecr state of this pir was changed itself, how is this even possible, it''s like space itself had warped around it" Alberto "I tell you its that Darkrai that lives in this Garden, but don''t worry I will capture it and save this town" The redhead baron said andughed. Julian ''Space was warped itself? please don''t tell me what I suspect will be true'' He thought and looked back at the Space-Time tower, he suspected the involvement of Palkia in this but still, he didn''t want it to happen, just their will can destroy this whole world, forget about this town. As his thought process was in chaos, Infernape and Gengar noticed something, Gengar came out of Julian''s Shadow and stared at a direction that is very dark, shaded by the shadows of the thick trees. Chapter 400 - Darkrai (2) Infernape and Gengar noticed something very powerful nearby, Gengar realized that it was the same presence he felt when they entered the Garden. Julian snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the same direction Infernape and Gengar are looking at, he also sensed the presence of Darkrai very close to him. ?? As he expected he saw a moving shadow near the shades of the trees, he squinted his eyes as he saw a pokemone out of the shadow. This pokemon was none other than Darkrai, it came out of the shadow creating a cold dark surrounding around it. Darkrai "Go away" The Darkrai said as it pressured Ash and his friends, seeing that Darkrai can process its thought physically surprised Julian, it knew how to talk, well its literally not talking with its mouth, it is just processing its thoughts into a physical presence to send its message to humans or any other being. Seeing the Darkrai Ash and his group stepped back as they felt pressureing from the dark pokemon in front of them. Alfredo "I knew it, it was Darkrai, I told you, let me catch it now. Lickilicky use Power Whip" Alfredo said andmanded Lickilicky to attack Darkrai but Darkrai didn''t even get touched, it moved away and sent a Dark Void at Lickilicky but it dodged it and the Dark Void hit Ash and put him directly to sleep, seeing Ash falling asleep on the ground his friends rushed towards him and tried to wake him up but couldn''t. Seeing Darkrai trying to escape through the shadows Alberto interfered and ordered Lickilicky to use Hyper Beam once again, the Hyper Beam sted the ground causing Darkrai toe out of the shadow again, Darkrai got angry and sent another Dark Void at Lickilicky and sent it to sleep to make an escape again. Julian just watched this from far as he tried to figure out Darkrai''s power but he couldn''t get much, Dark Void is a very special move, even if the Darkrai was just born it could still knock out a pokemon which is even at Max level. So he couldn''t get anything from a move that special, that cannot be read, it can only be countered by another special attack. Julian watched as Ash was taken away as she couldn''t be woken up. Julian ''It''s not dangerous and he will be up in a few hours, no need to worry about him'' He thought. He also noticed that the Darkrai was not hostile at all, it was not even focusing at Ash and his friends, it was looking at the direction of the tower from where the Omni force burst out, Darkrai was not sending a message to Ash and his friends but whatever it is that is above the tower. Julian ''I should, really go and check out what is happening'' He thought and walked out of the garden and went back to the Space-Time tower to figure out what is happening, once he got there he tried to figure it out but he had no sess, even the breach between this and the other dimension has been repaired, he found nothing. Julian ''Did I miss something, the breach has also gone away, the Unknowns mend it up very quickly, I cannot find anything weird here'' He thought and looked at the ce where the breach was, he was sure something was wrong but he couldn''t figure it out. Julian ''Maybe it''s over, I am thinking about it too much'' He thought and decided to go back to the Inn and rest for the day, it was alreadyte, he spent hours to find what is wrong but even after using Omniforce he couldn''t find anything at all. Since it was of no use he got back to the inn and slept, the next day he woke up and decided to leave the town, there was nothing he could do about it, the breach has been closed, there is no leakage of chaotic Omniforce, everything was peaceful and quiet. He checked out from the Inn and walked out and got on his bike and drove off, on his way he saw people doing their usual work when the Space-Time tower suddenly started to y a music, when he heard it he stopped his bike as he heard the huge chimes of the tower staring to ring and making a beautiful music, hearing the music the people of the town started to dance and enjoy their time. Seeing how involved the people were made Julian fascinated, it looks like the towers don''t y the music that often, seeing how invested the people were he guessed so. Julian ''Well I cannot stay here forever'' He thought and drove off, as soon as he got near the bridge that leads outside the town, but before he could get outside the town, he suddenly felt his instincts go crazy as goosebumps raised all over his body, even his pupils shrunk as he felt this kind of power for the first time. A burst of light covered the whole town, then followed by a burst of chaotic Omniforce, he felt multiple waves crashing all over the town. Julian ''Shit I should always stick to my guts'' He thought and turned around his bike and rushed towards Space-Time towers with full speed, he realized one more thing, the whole town has been transported to apletely different dimension, he could sense chaotic energy everywhere surrounding the whole town. Crystal seems very scared right now, it has never felt like thing before, even though it is powerful it is still a small kid in heart and mind, it doesn''t know the horrors of the world. One thing Julian did realize after rising Crystal and other Mythical Pokemon is that they do grow faster but they mature very slowly and Crystal is even slower. Julian "Don''t worry Crystal, I am here so does Gengar and Infernape, you just close your eyes and leave everything to use" He said and patted Crystal, Crystal closed its eyes and went back into his pocket. Chapter 401 - Conscious In Physical State Julian soon arrives at the Space-Time towers once again and this time he had no doubt, the aura it is chaotic and heavy and the source of this is right in between the two towers and right in the middle of it there is a ball of Omniforce that Julian cannot get through no matter how much he tried. He tried to use Omniforce to break the sphere but couldn''t, but he was certain with one thing, something is inside that ball of Omniforce and he doesn''t like the idea of iting out so he stopped his reluctant tries of getting through it. ?? He just stood there ready to interfere if something really happens, as he was doing so he suddenly heardrge explosionsing from the buildings behind him, he turned around and felt powerful energy sting everywhere. Julian ''Please don''t interfere in this'' He though and tried to look at what is happening when he saw a group of people trying to battle Darkrai which they couldn''t even touch it, Darkrai single handedly destroyed them all and put them to sleep using Dark Void and it soon headed towards the sphere of Omniforce. Seeing this Julian freaked out and tried to stop Darkrai but before he could do so, it sent out a powerful Dark Pulse at the Sphere. Darkrai "Go Away" Darkrai said and got closer to the sphere. Julian "Shit" Ash "Looks its Darkrai" Suddenly Julian heard Ash''s voice right behind him. Julian ''Why did I even doubt myself, of course, if Ash is here trouble will always follow'' He thought and turned around. Julian "What are you doing here, get out" Julian said. Ash "Julian? what are you doing here?" Julian "It''s not the time to talk about that, things have already gone out of control" He said and saw Darkrai continuously attacking the sphere. Tonio "We have to stop Darkrai, the Legendary pokemon Palkia is resting inside it" The young man with sses said. Julian ''Well looks like I was right'' He thought and looked back at the sphere that is stopping Darkrai''s attack fromnding on Palkia, as he had expected this Darkrai is very powerful, even stronger than Groudon and Kyogre which he fought before, even stronger than their Primal Version. Julian ''How old is this Darkrai?'' He thought and called out Infernape and Snox as he needs his strongest pokemons out, even Gengar came out of his shadows and looked at the sphere, Julian thought he is ready to fight but he saw his Snox is still sleeping. Julian ''Well it doesn''t matter'' As he was thinking about what to do the sphere of Omniforce shattered into pieces revealing the pokemon inside it, as Tonio said its a Palkia. Seeing this Palkia Julian frowned. Julian ''System, is that thing real?'' System ''No, the thing in front of the host eyes is just a conscious of Palkia in a Physical form'' Julian ''So it''s no real?'' System ''If the real Palkia came into this world, just its presence will destroy it'' Julian ''Well, thank god it''s just a conscious, so how do I defeat it?'' System ''You cannot, a conscious of Palkia can only be destroyed by itself unless Host learns to manipte Omniforce to the fullest to erase itpletely, which host is very far from aplishing'' The System said. Julian ''Fuck, then what do I do?'' System ''The best possible scenario is battling it till ites to its senses and leave or contact the real Palkia and ask it to call it off'' Julian ''I think I will take it on then trying to contact the real thing and how do I even contact the real thing?'' System ''System doesn''t know'' Julian ''Then why did you talk about it?'' System ''Because it''s the easiest way to get rid of the problem?'' Julian ''Forget about it'' He told to System and looked at the physical conscious of Palkia which suddenly charged towards the Darkrai and sent it smashing on the ground. Julian "Gengar, Dimension Trap. Infernape zing Punch" Julian made his call and Gengar and Infernape took charge, Gengar traveled through the Shadow and suddenly appeared right below Palkia,rge chains made of shadows came out of his dimension andtched onto Palkia stopping it right on its path, Gengar tried to drag it down into his dimension but it was useless, Palkia roared and tried to free itself. Luckily Gengar is strong enough to hold off Palkia, the chains tightened up and forced it to stay on one spot. It was enough time for Infernape tond a powerful hit, Infernape punched Palkia right on its face and sent it crashing on the ground but it seems like it didn''t affect Palkia much. Julian ''Shit, its four times resistant to Fire-type moves'' Luckily even though the punch didn''t cause much damage it was able to distract Palkia which allowed Gengar to pull it down into his dimension, Palkia got dragged as it got closer to the entrance of Gengar''s dimension where he is the ruler and his will is everything. Seeing that Palkia is very close to getting dragged into Gengar''s dimension Julian felt he will be able to hold it off but he was severely wrong. He felt another chill running down his spine as he heard a time shaking roaring from above. Chapter 402 - Dialga Vs Palkia The roar shook everything as Julian looked up and saw a huge blue pokemon covered in thick armor and four legs rush towards Palkia who is currently being dragged into Gengar''s dimension but it couldn''t happen because Dialga suddenly sted a powerful Hyper Beam at Palkia. The Hyper Beam ripped through the air andnded on the tied up Palkia sending everyone in the surrounding flying, Darkrai, Infernape, Gengar and even Palkia. ?? Julian ''Please tell me this is also a fake one'' System ''Indeed'' Julian ''Great'' System ''But they are still capable of destroying the world'' Julian ''Fuck'' Julian "All of you get out of here" He turned around and told Ash and his group to escape from here. Ash "But?" Julian "Tell me, do you want to get vaporized before bing a pokemon master?" Ash "NO" Julian "Then get lost and let me handle it" He said and looked at Snox. Julian [Snox, get ready to roll] Hearing Julian''s voice in his mind Snox suddenly got up on his legs while he is still sleeping. Julian [Hyper Beam right in front of you] Hearing Julian Snox suddenly sent a powerful Hyper Beam and Dialga, Dialga got alerted by the Hyper Beam and turned around and tried to counter it but the Hyper Beam was a little to fast, the Hyper Beamnded and sent Dialga back dragging its feet on the ground. Being attacked by a foreign power Dialga got angry and tried to attack Snox but before it could answer Palkia moved in and used Dragon w on Palkia, Dialga was sent back flying this time but it did take much damage. As a counter it sent a powerful Ice Beam at Palkia, Palkia was also sent flying backward but something was wrong. Julian noticed that the town is actually disintegrating into nothingness. Julian ''What the fuck is happening?'' He thought and looked around and finally saw what is the problem, the Palkia is injured, the pearl on its right hand had cracks. Julian ''Shit Palkia is injured and its cause space around it to disappear, if they continue fighting this whole town will disappear along with the people living here and I won''t be able to get out of this dimension that we are trapped in'' Julian thought. Palkia and Dialga once again got into a heated battle which caused the town to disintegrated at an even faster rate. Darkrai once again interfered between them trying to stop them from fighting, but Darkrai would always get in the middle of their attacks. Julian ''If this continues that Darkrai will die, no matter how strong it is, it cannot handle all those attacks'' Julian "Infernape and Gengar, help Darkrai" Infernape and Gengar nodded their head and joined in, Infernape and Gengar distracted Dialga while they let Darkrai deal with Palkia, it was clear that Palkia is weakened, but Julian is not just giving up. Julian "Snox, wake up, it''s no time to sleep, things are getting out of hand" Hearing Julian''s voice Snox slowly opened his eyes and looked around to see chaos everywhere and got confused. Julian "Target that Palkia, Hyper Beam" Snox nodded and sent out another Hyper Beam, this time at Palkia, as Palkia battled with Darkrai it didn''t expect to get hit by the Hyper Beam. Things were going in control when they finally snapped, both Dialga and Palkia got mad, they suddenly charged up their power and sent a powerful st sending all of their opponent crashing on the ground, having their opponents removed from their path. They started to fight again. They started to absorb the Omniforce around them and grew stronger, the charged up their special moves, Dialga sent a blue-colored st at Palkia that seemed to have the power of time itself, while Palkia sent a crescent de which seems to have to power of space, as both collided, everything went chaotic. Even Julian''s pokemon felt pressure from just the bacsh of these attacks. Julian ''Shit, they will destroy the town'' Julian "Gengar, Infernape, its time to go all out" Hearing Julian both Gengar and Infernape nodded, Julian shed his Key Stone which suddenly radiated a bright light, suddenly a Mega Stone appeared on Gengar''s forehead which started to shine. The light from both the Mega Stone and Keystonebined and Gengar started to change, his body became white, a yellow eye appeared on his forehead, the top of his head became spiky. Gengar mega evolved. Next was Infernape, Julian''s Omniforce rushed out of his body and went into Infernape, Infernape started to change, the colors changed into white and ck, the mes became white and became hotter. Due to the huge amount of Omniforce around Infernape, his mes burned brighter, sensing the change in the environment both Dialga and Palkia turned around and saw Infernape burning with white mes, for some reason they felt that the mes were very dangerous but with Omniforce involved they are not scared. Infernape suddenly rushed towards them with burning mes covering the whole area, seeing the attack rushing towards them, Dialga and Palkia used their signature move one again to counter Infernape''s mes. The collision was about to be devastating and Julian knew it, he suddenly created a dome from Omniforce with all his power, the st came after and the whole dome was ready to break, Julian quickly created an opening on top for letting all the energy to escape. Things became calm but there was still a stalemate between Dialga, Palkia, and Infernape. Chapter 403 - Battle Beyond Dimensions As the physical conscious of Dialga and Palkia and Infernape''s Omniform are in a stalemate, Dialga and Palkia didn''t realize that two pokemons have sneaked very close to them, Mega Gengar and Darkrai. Julian "Gengar, Prison Dimension" ?? Julian ordered Mega Gengar to use his signature move. When he mega evolves his Dimension trap be so powerful that it can trap a whole city inside it and destroy it, it''s the best way for Julian to stop Dialga and Palkia to stop fighting. Gengar suddenly released his aura and a white light shone from his body and covered the whole area, soon this white light turned ck and into a big ball of shadow that trapped all four of them inside, inside this huge ball of shadow Gengar is the ruler but his prisoners are not normal, they are the conscious of gods of this universe, Gengar and Darkrai teamed up to battle Palkia once again while Infernape battled Dialga. Even though Infernape is in his Omniform he was equally matched to this physical conscious of Dialga, this showed Julian how strong these gods really are, just their conscious are giving a tough battle to Infernape and Gengar along with Darkrai. During the battle Gengar, of course, had the upper hand as he was the master of this domain but Palkia is the pokemon that rules space itself, even the slightest change can alert it, during the battle Gengar tried many sneaky moves but they were all countered by Palkia, it evennded some powerful hits on Darkrai with its signature move which put Darkrai in a very bad situation, Gengar had to step up and battle Palkia alone during this battle, he is not strong as Palkia but with him control over his dimension he can easily dodge any type of attacks from Palkia. Julian watched this battle and frowned, things are really going bad on his side, even if Infernape can hold his own against Dialga, Gengar cannot maintain his Dimension Prison for long. As Dialga and Infernape battled their attacks caused even Gengar''s dimension to ripple, Dialga used its signature move The Roar Of Time while Infernape used st Burn, the two moves made from Omniforce collided, the Roar Of Time wanted topletely wipe out the st Burn while Infernape''s st Burn made from his Predominant mes wanted to burn the time itself. It was a war, the attacks collisions could destroy everything, luckily Gengar''s dimension is limitless, from outside its a huge ball of shadows but from the inside, space is limitless. The collision created an explosion that nothing could withstand, even Palkia and Gengar had to back away as they protected themselves from thebined power of the two moves. Infernape and Dialga can carry this as long as they can because they are constantly absorbing Omniforce from their surroundings, even Palkia can survive this but not Gengar. At one point he will get tired and his prison will disappear revealing the pokemon inside once again to the small town which will get destroyed, and Julian has no doubt about it. Thinking about this situation Julian had no idea what he can do except relying on Gengar to maintain his prison and let Infernape handle the rest as he takes on both Dialga and Palkia. Darkrai who is in a very weak condition once again got up and got ready to battle, it was determined to save its home town from this destruction even if it has to sacrifice its life. ______________ Things are going bad and Gengar is getting tired his prison is getting weak, he cannot hold for much longer, the battle between Dialga and Infernape has gotten to another level, they are just trying to destroy each other but no one is getting the upper hand, Infernape''s mes were there to burn everything while Dialga''s power could making anything from existing, when Omniforce was involved nothing could be safe. This was a real battle, Infernape has always wanted to battle to his fullest with him Omniform and now he is able to, but he is not taking this as something fun, he knows that many lives are dependent on him winning this exchange or they will get trapped in this dimension that Dialga and Palkia brought them forever. Infernape roared as he absorbed as much Omniforce he can, collecting everything at a single point, sensing the iing attack Dialga also did the same, it collected the Omniforce around it and collected it a single point, as they did so, space around them started to change. Infernape started to melt space itself while Dialga caused the space to crack and shatter, they released their attack once again, one that had the power of time while the other wanted to devour everything it touches, the attacks shed and the collision caused such a huge st that everything turned white, the sound of the st even went over normal turning silent, there was just pure whiteness, as the whiteness disappeared the users of these moves were revealed once again, Dialga and Infernape. Both of them seemed to have suffered a huge loss, Infernape had bruises all over his body while the conscious of Dialga started to weaken as well. Seeing this Julian was worried, his Infernape has never suffered this much damage ever but when he saw the smile on Infernape''s face he realized Infernape was enjoying this battle. They floated on their spot in a stalemate once again, trying to recover by absorbing the Omniforce. While they were in a stalemate the battle between Palkia and Gengar along with Darkrai was also making everything go chaotic. Darkrai and Gengar partnered up, while Darkrai tried to distract Palkia, Gengar moved in with his devastating attacks, but Palkia was no pushover, it made them work to their full power for them to be on a stalemate as well, but things are going a little better on Gengar''s side, the Palkia is damaged. While it was battling Dialga it got injured and tried to hide in Julian''s world but Dialga was able to track it down even after counseling its aura after Darkrai forced it toe out of hiding. With a cracked pearl on his right hand, Palkia was having a hard time controlling space and using its Signature move Spacial Rend. Julian wished Snox could join and help his friends but he couldn''t fly nor float, he cannot attack from outside because it can destroy Gengar''s prison. Snox just has to sit there and wait for something bad to happen so he can step in and help his friends. Chapter 404 - Oraciè´¸n While this battle was going on inside the huge ball of shadow that only Julian could look through, Ash and his friends were trying to stop Dialga and Palkia as well, they saw the huge shadow ball in the sky, they could feel the shock waves of the battle happening inside. They knew they had to hurry as well. ?? Tonio "We have to quickly get on top of the tower and y Oracion, it will definitely stop Dialga and Palkia''s battle, quick" Tonio said and rushed towards the hot air balloon followed by Ash and his friends, they all hopped onto the hot air balloon as the small Chimchar started to blow fire in it to make it rise up in the air. The balloon started to float up. Brock "Tonio, are you sure thing is going to work?" Brock asked. Tonio "Godey mentioned in his journal that when disasteres, let the Oracion handle it, Godey had seen the future so he built the Space-Time tower for this day, we are lucky that Mr. Julian is currently keeping Dialga and Palkia busy, while he does that we need to do our part as well" Everyone nodded their head as they watched the top of the tower getting very close to them but things suddenly took a 180-degree turn. Gengar''s Prison has a hole, a streak of beam broke out of Gengar''s Dimension Prison and headed straight towards the hot air balloon but before it could hit them, the Darkrai followed behind it and at thest moment came right in front of the attack and got hit, Darkrai crashed into the hot air balloon causing a part of it to break. Ash and Dawn suddenly started to fall as they couldn''t get a grip but they got lucky, one of the round tforms of the tower was very close to them, Ash''s Staraptor swooped in and put them on the tform. While Ash and Dawn are safe, Brock, Tonio, and Alice are still on the balloon as they hold onto the metal poles on the side. Brock "Ash, Dawn, use the stairs and meet us up there" Brock said and they nodded, Ash and Down soon got their feet on the stairs and started to run up as the stairs are disappearing at a rapid speed. ___________________ Seeing the breach in Gengar''s dimension prison Julian panicked. Julian "Snox get ready, as soon at the prison shatters you will attack Dialga and Palkia" Snox nodded his head started to umte all his power for a hyper beam like none other, Julian patiently waited and so did Snox, they saw as the ck ball started to crack as white light oozed out of it. Gengar''s dimension prison finally shattered revealing the ones inside once again to others, Gengar seems very tired and so does every other pokemon, Darkrai who saved Ash and his group from getting hurt joined back as they stood in a stalemate once again. Palkia Vs Gengar and Darkrai, Dialga Vs Infernape, all of them are in bad shape, that doesn''t mean the battle is over. Palkia is weak and cannot control space properly right now, Gengar is exhausted after trying to keep the prison for such a long time, Darkrai is heavily injured, it is in no shape to battle right now, Infernape has bruises all over his body and Dialga has lost a lot of its power after exchanging several moves that could destroy the world. Just because they all are weak now doesn''t mean they are not dangerous, they are still ready to go all out, as the stalematees to an end they all start to charge up for their final move once again, they have to give it their all or they will just be after each other till the end. Julian ''Shit, now the only way is to attack, even if the town is destroyed the people can still be saved, I have to take this chance, there is no other way'' Julian thought and clenched his fist, this is the first time he felt hopeless, for the first time he came across a power that can put him in such a dilemma, but at the end of the day a town is just a ce to live, the people is what is the most important. Julian "Snox, you guard the west, that is where all the town people are hiding, no matter what happens don''t let a single attack pass through you" Even though Snox is ready to st a powerful Hyper Beam, Julian decided its better for him to be on guard and save the people of this town, while Snox protects them, Infernape and Gengar are ready to finish the battle once and for all. All the pokemon in the sky getting ready to use their full power to take on each other, they all know that this final exchange might decide what is going to happen. If Julian''s side loses everything is over, but if he wins things might not be as bad as extinction. As they were about tounch their attacks hope finally could be heard, the sound came from the Space-Time towers, hearing the sound everyone stopped. Chapter 405 - Oraciè´¸n (2) As the sound echoed across the whole town everyone stopped fighting, Infernape, Gengar, Darkrai, Palkia, and Dialga, the sound continued as it started to y a rhythm, the rhythm soon caught up and became music. As this music yed everyone in the town became calm, Julian has heard this music before. ?? Julian "This music, its Oracion" He said as he saw both Dialga and Palkia had actually stopped emitting their battle instinct, they are calming down, the music became louder and more pleasant, suddenly the Space-Time tower started to change,rge metal shaped like wings came out of the sides as the radiant white lighting from it shined on everyone, the metal wings turned into real wings as the light became very pleasant, as the light touched all the pokemon present in the town, they were relieved of their fear, it even affected Crystal as it stopped fearing and popped its head out to listen to this beautiful music and watch this glorious yet mysterious urrence. As the light touched Palkia''s cracked pearl it started to heal up and the pearl returned to its original shape, Dialga gained back its powers as the light touched it, Infernape''s wounds began to heal at a rapid pace, Gengar was relieved of his tiredness while Darkrai also returned to its previous healthy condition and Snox fell asleep as he heard the music. Julian stood there as he watched the magnificent giant wings that looked like the work of gods itself, he couldn''t understand what is happening, how could a normal engineer/architect able to build something this magical that is able to please even the deities. Crystal watched the beautiful huge wings as it spread its healing light everywhere restoring every pokemons health, it floated out of Julian''s pocket and flew up in the sky to get a closer look at this magical thing that it found very pleasant. The fragments of small shining light slowly approached Crystal as it surrounded Crystal and entered into the red crystal on its forehead, seeing this Julian got confused, he didn''t know what is happening at all. He saw Crystal close its eyes as it fell into a deep sleep and started to fall down, Julian quickly caught Crystal in his palm and looked at Crystal, he saw a happy smile on Crystal''s face as it was sleeping but he felt something different about Crystal right now but he couldn''t tell what it is. He put Crystal back into his pocket and looked back at the Space-Time tower, right now it looked like an angel spreading its light across the world as it brought peace and happiness everywhere. Julian ''System, what is Oracion?'' System ''The prayer to Divinity'' Julian ''Divinity?'' System ''System is not capable of answering something to this level'' Julian ''I think I understand'' He said and went quiet as he listened to the music as it continued to y and quell all the anger and hatred. As the music finally stopped, both Dialga and Palkia havepletely calmed down, Infernape and Gengar came back to Julian as they returned to their normal form, Darkrai also disappeared from the area but it was still there hiding in the shadow and watching. Dialga and Palkia floated on their spot and looked at each other after a nod Dialga flew away as it took a nce at Infernape before disappearing into the dimension while Palkia stayed and looked at Julian. Julian "Your battle with Dialga have destroyed this town, I think you are responsible and should fix it" Julian said and looked directly into Palkia''s eyes, Palkia also stared into Julian as it sensed the same power around him as it uses. It then made a long cry as the pearls around its arms glowed and everything started to go back to how it was, the town started to repair itself and once it was finally back to its original state Palkia transferred it back to its original spot and that is on top of the hill it was situated in. After doing so it once again looked at Julian and tore the space in front of it and disappeared from everyone''s sight. Julian finally took a long sigh of relief as he looked around his surroundings, it was the same when he entered the town. Julian "Looks like you guys saved the day huh?" He said and he looked at Infernape and Gengar, they nodded their head happily as they saw how proud Julian was of them, this was their hardest battle ever, they were able to hold up for a very long time against the conscious of two deities. Julian nodded and looked at the shadowy figure far away, it was Darkrai staring at him, Julian smiled and nodded at it, Darkrai then disappeared from Julian''s sight as well and went away. Ash and his friends rushed down the stairs of the Space-Time towers and ran towards Julian. Ash "Wow, that battle was so cool but I wasn''t able to see the most of it at all, you saved the town" Julian "Well, it wasn''t me, I just dragged it till you guys came to the rescue and stopped them from fighting for longer" Julian said. Brock "Haha, it was nothing, it was all Tonio''s idea if he hadn''t figure out, it would have been the end" Julian "Then we all have to thank Tonio for this" Julian said. Tonio "No I didn''t do anything, it was all written in Godey''s journal" Julian "Journal?" Tonio "Yes, Godey''s journal had predicted today''s incident, if it was not specified on how to stop this disaster in the journal we would have no idea how to stop them" Julian "Can I see the journal?" Tonio "Sure" Tonio said and passed an old journal to Julian, Julian opened it and started to go through the writings in it, as Tonio had said Godey had predicted this day and this was also his reason to build the Space-Time tower but this didn''t answer any important questions that Julian currently had. Where did that powere from, how did Godey foresee the future. Julian ''There are still so many things I don''t know, maybe these questions of mine will just be a mystery or I might get an answer to them, but when? I have no idea'' He thought and returned the journal back to Tonio. Ash "By the way Julian, what are you doing in this town?" Julian "I had some business and now that everything is over I will be leaving" Julian said and bid his farewell from the group and rode off on his bike. Ash "I think I forgot to ask him something, what is it?" Ash said as he scratched his head. Chapter 406 - Captured Uxie Julian quickly made an escape from there as he sent back his pokemons to their Pokeball because he realized one thing, he forgot to hide his identity while using Infernape during his Omniform, he just hopes that not many saw it, during the time when the town was transferred into another dimension all-electric type devices had stopped working and most of the people had lost consciousness from the surrounding. Most would have not seen what happened, Ash is an idiot so he will forget about it but the others with him might still remember about it, one thing Julian is not worried about is that Infernape''s Omniform is not public at all, except a blurry white dot on a satellite camera, the inte has no proof of Julian''s connection to the legendary hero. ?? He quickly gets out of the town heads directly to the airport to take a flight and get away from this city, he still has things to do, his main goal right now is to find the cult and he has to do some research on them so he decided to take the flight. Once he got to the airport, he quickly bought a ticket to the closest city and waited till his flight came, once it did Julian got into his ne and flew to his next destination, Eterna City. After an hour flight, he finally arrives at Eternal city, this is his second time visiting the city, he goes back to the same hotel he stayed before and rented a room for few days, after getting in he slept for a whole day because he was tired from all the things that happened. While Julian was sleeping far away at Veilstone City, underground Cyrus and his goons the team gctic are looking at a huge screen that is showing of some kind of readings. Scientist "Boss, we are certain that this is the work of Palkia, the whole town had disappeared from the face of our and suddenly reappeared in a fraction of seconds, normal people didn''t even notice it happen but one of our satellites picked it up" The head scientist that is looking into this said to Cyrus. Cyrus "Did you find the reason behind it?" He asked. Scientist "No Boss, we know nothing behind the reason of Palkia''s action" Cyrus "Strange, why would these deitiese to our world for no reason, there must be a reason behind it" Scientist "Don''t worry boss, one of the Admin is currently heading towards the town to figure out what really happened" Cyrus "Hmm, keep me updated" Cyrus said and pressed a button in front of him, as soon as he did this the area beneath his feet started to go down taking him deeper into the ground, the floor above him closed once again as Cyrus traveled through a tunnel and finally arrived at a hidden area of this headquarters. He walked down from the elevator and walked into the small hallway leading to a thick metal door right in front of him, he then ced his hand on the biometric scanner, he then let his scan his iris which finally opened the door. This room is only essible to him and only he can take people inside, as he enters this dark room the light automatically lights up revealing the interior of this room, this room is huge filled with all kind of equipment, there are manyrge screens that seem to be monitoring someone''s heartbeat. And right in the middle of this room is a long ss tube filled with water and inside this tube is a pokemon, this pokemon has a light blue body, a yellow head, and two tails, there are red oval-shaped pearls on its head and its tails. This pokemon is Uxie, the one from Lake Acuity. Cyrus "Is this rted to you or is it the Griseous Orb that was stolen from me, well it doesn''t matter, once I capture the others, once I have all three of you, I will be able to aplish my dream of making the perfect world, hahahahahaha" Cyrus said and started tough like a maniac. ____________________ Next day Julian woke up from a long sleep, his mental state has been refreshed, he stretches his body and takes a bath, eats breakfast, feeds his pokemons, he also realizes that Crystal has not woken up after in-taking those fragments of light, it has already been a whole day. Crystal would never sleep for such a long period of time, it would always wake up to eat, drink and y, but it''s been a whole day. Julian doesn''t know what is happening to Crystal, he checked its vitals and everything seemed normal, its heart is beating, the energy flow in its body is regr as well, and it still has a small smile on its face indicating that it is having a peaceful time, even the System diagnosed Crystal to be in perfect condition. This, of course, relieved him but he is still a little worried, he doesn''t know what is happening to Crystal. Julian ''Well I can only get my answer once Crystal wakes up'' He thought and sat down in front of theputer to do some research, he decided to research on alters and viges that worshiped Giratina as their god, and also tried to locate any abandoned temples that are rted to Giratina, one this he was certain about was that this cult worshiped Giratina. Chapter 407 - Giratinas Temples Through his search online, Julian found many possible sites that could harbor these ancient shrines and temples of Giratina and one of them is very close to Eterna City. Since it is very close he decided to visit this temple of Giratina. At ancient times many worshipers of Giratina used to pray Giratina but as time passed and people started to civilize and war faded away, people also started to move away from Giratina and looked down on the remaining people who still worshiped Giratina. ?? This soon caused more people to abandon Giratina and choose the others to worship, as time passed Giratina was forgotten by many, most of the people in the world only think that there are only two deities that are Dialga and Palkia, even if some people argue about it they have no proof about Giratina''s existence. Throughout history Dialga and Palkia have left a mark behind mankind leaving several proofs about their existence, but about Giratina there is none, that is why many people think it''s just a pokemon the older generation came up with to install bnce and fear among themoners. There are also people in this world that questions the existence of Arceus, the proof of its existence ispletely unknown, it''s even more mysterious than Giratina''s. But people need something to believe in, they want to believe something created their universe so even without any proof of its existence people still believe that Arceus exist. After looking through satellite maps Julian finally had a rough idea of where this abandoned temple could be, wasting no time he got up from his chair and walked out of the door and put on his mask, after checking out of the hotel, he got on his bike and was about to leave when he suddenly received a call, he took out his phone and saw that the call is from Cynthia, he picked up the call. Cynthia "Hello? Julian" A voice came from the other end. Julian "Yes?" Cynthia "Good, I was able to find Cyrus''s hideout, after doing some investigation I found nothing, but I had to get my hands dirty and extract information from someone from the underworld but I got something, Cyrus has been importing lots of machines from foreign regions through the underworld so he has no record of it under his name, he has been doing this for years, nning to do something that even the underworld is unaware of but I was able to find his hideout at least, I am taking a team of elite trainers and raiding his hideout" Julian "Good, update me after you find something" He said and put the phone away. Julian ''Looks like I did good on handing it over to Cynthia, the league is useless but she is able to do the right thing even if it means to go against the league to do so, I hope she will be able to bring down Cyrus so that idiot can rot in jail while I take down this cult'' He thought and drove off towards the temple. The temple he is searching right now is very close to the city, the forest on the east side of the city is where the temple is out, he has found some possible map coordinates to which he should be able to track down the table. He soon arrived at the forest, he wasted no time and started to find the coordinates on the map, one of the hardest things is to find thend that is disyed on the map coordinates inside a forest, after a long tedious search he finally came across the thing he has been looking for. Two old broken down pirs covered with moss, he could see nothing else but these two broken pirs but he knew he is right above the temple and there have been some visitings to this site. He found some parts of thend that is not covered with grass while the others are, this part seems very suspicious so he digs it up to find an entrance just as he expected. Julian ''I finally found one'' He thought and removed the iron barrier that was blocking the way, as he started to walk down this small entrance he started to smell something funny, and the deeper he went the smell started to get worse and the frown on his face started to grow. Once he finally reached the main temple and what he saw shocked him, he saw rotting headless bodies around this dark room, a huge statue of Giratina and in front of it is arge bowl filled with smelly clotted blood. He ck robes that these men were wearing, Julian could tell they were the part of the cult and they were killed as sacrifices for beliefs they made for themselves, even Julian felt disgusted by seeing this. Julian ''This is disgusting, I really don''t know what I will do if I see this cult in real life, I don''t want to go back to killing once again, once I kill there will be no turning back'' Julian thought and started to look around the room to find something useful and he did. He found an old map with red markings on them, Julian realized that these are the other temples that Giratina was worshiped in, after searching for a few more minutes and finding nothing he walked out of this rotting disgusting room. He put the iron bars back and covered it will the mud he dugout. Julian ''I hope no one finds this ce'' He thought and put the map away and rode off, seeing such a disgusting scene made him feel awful. Chapter 408 - Gabite Vs Tyranitar (1) Julian decided to go to Celestic city as his next destination and also home to another temple of Giratina''s, during his travel he noticed that Crystal is still not awoken from its sleep, it''s been more than a week and it''s still sleeping, there is nothing wrong with it. Julian ''I think Crystal is in a deep slumber, I can see the slow energy inside its little body'' ?? Julian though as he is currently sitting on a wooden chair next to the fire camp along with his pokemons who are eating their food and having a fun time, even though they are worried about Crystal being in deep slumber but Julian is there to take care of it so they can be in peace. After having their food and a lite training all of them go to sleep as they continue to head forward, Julian needs to find this cult so he can put a permanent stop to them. Next morning its training day and Julian cannot stop training his pokemon just because he is after some cult, he needs strong pokemons that will help him achieve things, Gabite is very close to evolving as he is the only pokemon that has not reached his final form in Julian''s team. His team has been great during his Sinnoh Journey, his current team of, Crystal, Manaphy, Victini, Gabite, Rampardos, Luxray, Lucario, Togekiss, and Gliscor. The team of nine is very good, except Gabite all have reached their final form and are able to control their energy easily. Gabite had to train a lot harder to keep up with others but that didn''t mean he was weak than others, he is still Julian''s strongest pokemon in full raw power. After he evolves he will easily get control over his immense hidden energy and he might even overtake Julian''s other pokemon. During training, he focused on Gabite and trained him much harder, and he is very close to evolving as well. Since he is not going to challenge any gyms right now he decided to evolve Gabite as his strength will be very useful for his team. While training Julian didn''t go easy on Gabite, he made Tyranitar fight with him, while Gabite was on his own facing Tyranitar Julian sided with Tyranitar making it even harder for Gabite to evennd one hit on Tyranitar. Gabite got sted meters away from the battlefield, this is the first time he felt a fraction of Tyranitar''s power and realized how far he is from reaching Tyranitar''s level, Gabite is having a really hard time during training, he cannot even put a scratch on Tyranitar as he was trained by Snox himself to act as a giant indestructible tank. Gabite is frustrated for the first time in his life, the fun-loving troublemaker who always found a way to pick up a fight is now finally getting what he wanted, a serious battle against Tyranitar in which he is getting beaten up badly. After getting beaten up Julian would let him rest for a while before continuing again, the beat down continued till Gabite got fully exhausted till he couldn''t get back on his feet, but Gabite didn''t want to stop at all, his desire to be strong made him want to fight again and again. Seeing this Julian just put him to sleep and let him rest for a while, once he woke up again after a little rest it was back to training. For the past three days, Gabite was in a hellish training, the one he could never forget. And right now Gabite and Tyranitar are having a mock battle while the others are watching, Julian is on the side being the referee. Even this is a pretty one-sided battle everyone is excited about this battle, Gabite has been training a lot and there is a huge progression in his strength. If he evolves his power will burst out giving him a huge power boost and that might help himst a little longer in his battle against Tyranitar. Julian "Are both of you ready?" Julian asked as he looked at Gengar to put around a forcefield around the area so that the energy released from Tyranitar''s attacks. Gabite nodded his head as he took his stance while Tyranitar just stood there staring at Gabite, in Tyranitar''s view the little chap was really annoying, always bugging him to battle him, but with Julian around, he didn''t do anything but now he got his chance to beat the shit out of this chap. Tyranitar lifted one of his legs and mmed it on the ground causing it to tremor, Gabite and all of Julian''s young pokemon were shocked after felling the tremor, the thing about the young ones is that they know nothing about their seniors, they just knew they are powerful and they have only seen Infernape and Gengar blur around the area, at the end of the battle they only saw a beaten-up Gengar and a calm Infernape. Chapter 409 - Gabite Vs Tyranitar (2) Now Julian''s Sinnoh pokemon will finally get the glimpse of their senior''s power, they always wondered how strong the five pokemons with them are, they thought they will able to find out when they get stronger or evolve at their final form but once they evolved they realized that they are still very far away from even reaching the same level as Tyranitar and Absol, let alone Gengar, Snox, and Infernape. All of them bnced themselves as they stopped themselves from the tremor that just went through the ground. ?? Julian "Ok, then let the battle start" With the wave of Julian''s hand, Gabite charged towards Tyranitar as des next to his ws started to glow, he started with Dual Chop, rushing right in front of Tyranitar he crossed andnded his attack right on Tyranitar''s belly causing a huge st which caused the dust to rise up covering everyone''s vision except Gabite, he could clearly see his opponent in front of him. Tyranitar just stood there as if nothing happened, he is looking down on Gabite with his cold eyes, feeling the pressure Gabite backed off and sted a Dragon Pulse at Tyranitar once again, Tyranitar just stood there and took that st right on his face. As the smoked went away Tyranitar was still standing there with no damage, not even a scratch on his body, seeing he cannot do any heavy damage on Tyranitar with his Special Attacks, Gabite knew he has to physically inflict the damage on Tyranitar. So he rushed back towards Tyranitar again, one thing he has an advantage over Tyranitar is his speed, if he can out speed andnd all of his attacks sessfully he might have a chance of winning. So he did as he nned, he moved around Tyranitarnding one Dragon w after another around Tyranitar''s body but Gabite felt something weird, it realized Tyranitar is just standing in his ce with no movements, Gabite looked up as he continued moving at high speed and suddenly realized that Tyranitar is still looking at him, no matter how fat Gabite moved, Tyranitar''s eyes were on him, waiting for the perfect moment. Gabite sensed something wrong and stumbled giving Tyranitar a perfect opportunity, but Gabite is a genius in a battle so he quickly fixed his problem and moved away from any striking distance of Tyranitar and got right behind him tond another powerful hit, he used Dragon Rush and aimed it straight at Tyranitar''s back and as he was about tond the attack he felt danger, he looked up and suddenly saw Tyranitar suddenly turning around and bringing his huge arm right down Gabite. Tyranitar used Hammer Arm andnded it right on Gabite sending him right into the ground which caused a huge explosion, this alone caused a huge shockwave and Julian''s Sinnoh team had to cover their eyes to protect it from the impact. Now there is a huge crater on the ground with Gabite nted inside it, seeing their friend being taken down with just one shot the Sinnoh team was surprised, they thought Gabite would at least survive one hit but to go down just like that, it was hard for them to process this. They stood there as they gave up, thinking it was too early for them to challenge their seniors, but when they thought that Gabite lost he got up. Even though that attack should havepletely knocked him out he still stayed conscious, he growled and rose from his sorry state and looked at Tyranitar with eyes filled with the desire to battle, he didn''t want to go down with just one move, he wanted to prove himself against his mighty opponent. Seeing this even Julian was surprised, he thought that Gabite was out but looks like his Gabite proved him wrong once again. As he got to his knees his body suddenly started to flicker then a blinding light covered the area, his body started to grow bigger, his tail grew longer and his fins got longer and sharper. Gabite finally evolved into Garchomp, as he evolved he roared disying his power, with the bursting destructive power inside his body he charged at Tyranitar using Giga Impact with full power, all his energy is focused on this one move to give it his all but before he couldnd the hit he felt arge bash on his head which sent him back into the ground once again as hepletely cked out this time, Tyranitar used Brick Break right on top of Garchomp''s head knocking him out coldly, Tyranitar was surprised that this chap got up from that first attack, he would get insulted if Garchomp got up after this attack as well. And this time he knew Garchomp won''t get up this time. Julian "Ok, it''s over, Garchomp is unable to battle, Tyranitar wins" As Julian gave the result Tyranitar walked away yawning, this battle was no challenge at all it was just boring, no matter how good Garchomp is during the battle, he has not been trained by Julian as long as Tyranitar has been. Julian walked towards Garchomp and smiled, he didn''t interfere in this battle because he wanted to show Gabite who is now Garchomp that there is still a very long way for him to go before he starts to get cocky over his undefeated streak. Chapter 410 - Fun Loving Yet Cruel Garchomp came back to his senses and opened his eyes and felt his headache, he looked up and saw Julian smiling at him and rubbing his head, Garchomp is all confused, he didn''t even know what happened, he looked around and saw his friends looking at him with a worried face, he saw Tyranitar on the side with his eyes closed sleeping. Then he realized he was put down by just two moves and Tyranitar didn''t even go all out on that. ?? He got back to his feet but he is still feeling that hit on his head, it is hard for him to get over this, he has never been taken down so easily, this really hurt his feelings. Julian "Ok, no sulking up, you lost to someone who is far above your level, you should be proud that you took the first hit and you even evolved, you should be proud, you still have a lot to do before you could get at Tyranitar''s level, and when you reach that level you can have your rematch again" Julian said and calmed Garchomp down, Garchomp nodded his head and walked towards his friends. Since he has changed they were curious to check out how much he has really changed. After Garchomp had finally got back to his mood Julian fed them their food and called it a day as he slept in his tent, while he was sleeping deeply, Crystal who is right next to his started to glow lightly for a little while till it stopped again. Julian has no idea that Crystal is going through a massive change internally right now. ___________________ The next morning was the same as ever, he got up, fed his pokemon and hit the road again to find his next destination from the map he got at thest temple. He soon arrived at Celestic city and found a hotel to stay, after getting into his room he did all the necessary things he needed to do, talk with Daisy and Chloe, ask if the league member in Kalos took care of that annoying man who was stalking Chloe and he was happy to find out that the man is now a homeless hobo who walks the streets begging for money from others. After taking a day off he hit the streets again, finding the next temple, this time it is inside a rocky area and it was even harder to find from thest time, even though the location was marked on the map it was not urate at all, he had to walk around the hours for a long time before he stumbled across what he was looking for. Another entrance to Giratina''s temple. Julian "Finally I was getting bored" He said and walked into the huge mouth of the cave, he saw ancient writing and carvings on the wall specifying Giratina and what it is. As he walked into the cave he suddenly noticed something, footprints and they are fresh, seeing this he quickly pulled out his mask and covered his face and told Gengar to be on alert. Julian soon arrived at the main hall where most of the prayer seems to happen, he saw a bunch of people wearing long ck robes with their head covered with their hoods, they are on their knees with their hands held up high worshiping the huge statue of Giratina in front of them. Right in front of the group is a big middle-aged man with a long de in his right hand and a bowl filled with blood on his left, Julian looked around and found something that shocked him, bodies of dead pokemon the side with their blood drained, he didn''t know what to think about this at all, there are people in this world who eat pokemons but its an extremely difficult sport to hunt and kill pokemons but even these people give their respect to their prayers and make it a swift death, but seeing how bad the condition of these bodies was made his blood boil, he hated this. Sensing Julian''s anger Gengar also got angry, he just wanted to go and rip all off them into pieces. Julian [Gengar, no need to go easy, all of them are your ythings, except that bulky man, leave him to me] Julian said and Gengar nodded his head, he slipped out of Julian''s shadow and rushed towards the huge statue, Julian looked coldly at these group of men, for their own selfish reason and their own stupid believe they kill people and pokemons with no second thoughts. This time he won''t stop Gengar, Gengar takes on his fun-loving and cruel personality while Infernape takes over his kind and justness. Gengar is ready to punish and Julian won''t stop him, Gengar appeared right above the huge statue and he opened up his shadow dimension''s portal, seeing the sudden appearance of this dark portal the men of the cult thought that their god has finally answered to their prayer. Even the bulky man went to his knees as he prayed Giratina. Chapter 411 - Punishment The members of the cult bowed down and pressed their head on the ground as they chanted the prayer of Giratina, they thought that their god answered to them but they are wrong, it''s about to get way worse for them. Gengar "Gegegegegege" ?? All of them suddenly hear this creepyugh which sent chills down their spine, they lifted their head slowly to see what is going on, suddenly they see a pair of red glowing eyes looking at them with arge grin on its face, they screamed as they felt fear and tried to run but as one of them stumbled all of them followed, everyone fell on the ground but it was not over, they wanted to run away and chaos broke, all of them started to pull each other to get in front and leave but it was toote, ck shadow chains came out of the portal and wrapped around the members of the cult and pulled them into it. They prayed for their god to save them but it was useless, their wails and prayers were never heard, they were pulled into the dimension, after a few seconds the whole room became quiet, only one man was left behind and he is scared out of his wits. He doesn''t even know what is happening, all of a sudden a ck portal opened right above their god''s head and now that ck portal sucked up everyone in the room except him, he has no idea that all those members of this cult are suffering in the hands of Gengar, his prison can be called a hell if hell really exists. He sat there like a dumb idiot when he suddenly heard footsteps getting closer to him, he slowly lifted his head and saw a tall man wearing all ck, his face covered with a ck mask and his head covered with a hood. "Who are you?" The man asked and he got back to his feet and took out his Pokeball and tossed it up in the air as a Weavile came out, as soon as its footnded on the ground, a ck chain came rushing towards Weavile and wrapped around its leg and mmed it on the ground several times before pulling it into the shadow dimension. Seeing this the man got scared and backed off a little. Man "What do you want? I can get you anything, power, money, rare pokemons, just ask" The man said as he finally stopped backing off because he stumbled on Giratina''s statue. Julian "What I hate the most is that when people kill off their own selfish reason and you really pissed me off, forget about leaving this ce ever again" Julian said and closed into the man. The man tried to run but fear made him freeze on the spot, seeing no other option he suddenly pulled out his long dagger and shed it at Julian, Julian quickly grabbed the man''s wrist and twisted it causing a crack to be heard, the dagger fell from the man''s grip and Julian grabbed it with his other hand while it was falling and shed it right on the man''s forearms causing a deep cut, the blood-sttered and the man screamed in pain. Julian "It pains right, look at those poor pokemons, their body is full of these kinds of cuts, you kept them alive as bloodstock, how can you be so heartless?" Julian asked and shed once again at the man''s forearm making another deep cut, the man screamed again as he went down on his knees as he tried to stop the bleeding. Julian "Oh, don''t worry you won''t die, I didn''t cut any major arteries" He said and shed once again, this time he aimed at the other hand that is trying to stop the bleeding, he put a cut right on the man''s knuckles, the man screamed again as he let go of the cuts on his forearm and looked at the deep cuts on his knuckles, he cannot even tend it because this scary man is still holding his broken wrist. Man "Please let me go, why are you doing this to me, they are just useless pokemons, their life was not in vain, their life was given to the great god Giratina" The delusional man said. Seeing this Julian frowned and kicked the man right on his guts hard, the man was sent flying as he crashed on Giratina''s statue, the man held his abdomen in pain screaming. Julian "You are a useless man, at least tell me where your boss is so I can finish this bullshit once and for all" Julian said Man "Never, I won''t betray my lord''s trust" The man said. Julian "Are you sure?" Julian said and grabbed the man by his hair and looked him into his eyes coldly, those red eyes looked very scary and domineering for the man, he felt fear like never before, he even pissed without warning. Julian "Now tell me, where is this man?" Julian asked once again. Man "Ok, I will tell you, please don''t kill me, the thing is I don''t know, I never know, no one knows what the lord is really thinking" The man said and Julian believed him, Julian knew he is telling the truth, he can feel it but that didn''t mean Julian will forgive him, Julian got back on his feet and suddenly stomped on the man''s kneepletely shattering it. The man screamed in pain as he got crippled. Julian "Gengar, he is yours, and also keep them all alive, don''t let them die, show them what real suffering is" Julian said and dusted his coat. Gengar "Gegegegege" Gengarughed from the shadow dimension and a chain rushed out and pulled the man into it. Chapter 412 - Sacrificial Ritual Julian walked out of the cave and looked at the zing mid-day sun that is hitting his face, inside the cave was very dark so the sudden sunlight was irritating, Gengar appeared behind him and got into his shadow. Julian "Did you take care of them?" ?? Julian asked. Gengar nodded his head and giggled. Julian "Good, they are not dead, are they?" He asked again Gengar shook his head stating that they are still alive. Julian "Good, keep them alive and show them how precious life is, don''t let them die, make them suffer every second of it" Gengar "Gegegegege Gengarughed and disappeared into Julian''s shadow. Julian found the second temple of Giratina but he got no information about their boss from these people, he didn''t bother asking other questions because these low-level characters in the group have no idea what the boss is really doing, they all seem clueless when ites to their boss, they are all just brainwashed idiots. Finding nothing else around the temple but the blood of innocent pokemons Julian sighed, he buried away from the dead bodies of these pokemons and left, it was already evening so he decided to go back to the city and rest for the day. His mood turned sore today, seeing the cruelly tortured dead pokemons made him mentally exhausted, he was about to kill that man, just an inch to the side and Julian would a severed one of the major arteries of that man and he would die in blood loss but Julian didn''t want to give him a quick death. Death was not an option for these people in his eyes, what he is doing is a crime but he doesn''t care and no one in this world can stop him from torturing these bastards, and he also as his trusted Gengar who will get rid of these people and torture them instead of him while still keeping them alive. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down and went to sleep. The day went by without him knowing about it at all, today he was very close to breaking down. Killing will never be his option, once he stains his hand with the blood of someone he kills he can never go back, he knows this from his past experience and he doesn''t want to do it ever again. He has already suffered much, while he is resting, Gengar is having fun with his new toys, putting them into nightmares that made their soul shiver in fear. It was not physical torture, it was mental, this would make all of them retard, mindless people with no conscious of their own, they will live their whole lives in fear of their worst nightmares. This was also very helpful in Gengar''s training as well, his power to make people sleep and put them in bad dreams made him realize something, there is another dimension that he can explore. The dimension of the dreams, if he can look into this he will be able to understand the about dimensions and power up his own, he can look into their dreams and see how to get connected to the dimension of the dreams and where does it exist. ____________________ The next day Julian woke up from his deep sleep and stretched his body as he fell refreshed, all he needs was a long sleep to calm his mind and emotions, after getting ready he hit the road again, he cannot waste his time at all, he has to look into all the temples he can find, he needs to find what this cult is really nning. For several days he moved around the region trying to find other leads but he couldn''t this cult seems to have suddenly gone hiding. Julian ''Did they find out about what happened in that cave? If they did they will go into hiding, I have to find something fast'' Julian thought and increased his pace, after weeks of looking into the different temples filled with dead bodies he finally came across something, he finally found a temple inhabited by these members of the cult, he walked in slowly to find what is going on inside. As he came across them, he saw what was going on inside, about 100 members of this cult are gathered around arge podium which has a Giratina''s statue in the middle, a middle-aged man stood in the middle with a sharp knife in his hand and in front of him are five innocent men on their knees with their heads covered by jute bags and hands tied up, it seemed like a sacrificial ritual, it was not just them, there were also pokemons tied up next to them as well. Man "Today is the day where our god will finally listen to us, the high priest is doing his job to bring out god to our world and to help the high priest we will use these lowly ones as a sacrifice, their blood will bring us great fortune and the ultimate gift to our world, their lowly lives will be the foundation of our great world, so they should be grateful for this" The man said. The tied of people and pokemon tried to struggle but it was useless, they are beaten up and weak, they have no energy to fight back, they only hope that their death is quick and painless. Chapter 413 - Total Destruction Seeing the madness that is happening in front of him he couldn''t control his anger at all, Omniforce inside his body suddenly burst out causing everything to go wild, everyone in front of the alter felt the sudden burst of the energy and fell on the ground, feeling this they all fell on the ground confused for why this happened. They once again got back to their feet but this time everyone took out their Pokeball and got ready to battle, soon all of them heard footsteps getting close to them and they finally saw someone, a tall man wearing a long ck coat with his face covered walked towards them with a Pokeball in his hand. ?? Cult Admin "Who are you? you are not weed here" The man who held the knife said. Julian "I don''t fucking care, you all will suffer for what you are doing" Julian said. Cult Admin "Well, it doesn''t matter what you say, you will be another sacrificialmb for our purpose, men take that bastard down" The man ordered. Julian "Tyranitar, just destroy them" Julian said and sent out his Tyranitar, his Tyranitar came out of the Pokeball andnded on the ground causing it to shake, he roared causing everyone to freeze their steps. They looked at the gigantic Tyranitar in front of them but that didn''t mean they are scared, they are in hundreds so they can easily outnumber their opponent. Soon everyone sent out their pokemons as the whole room got filled with pokemons ready to charge at Tyranitar, with their trainers giving their order all the pokemonsunched their attacks on Tyranitar. All their attacksnded on Tyranitar causing a huge shockwave that caused everyone to close their eyes. Cult Admin "Hahahaha, this is what you get, now capture that brat and tie him up, his blood will fulfill our wish" The admin said andughed. As the smoke cleared out they finally saw the result of all the attacks, they saw the huge Tyranitar still standing there as if nothing happened at all, seeing this everyone stopped breathing as their eyes went wide, they couldn''t believe even after all those attacks Tyranitar didn''t even budge. Julian "Finish it" As Tyranitar heard Julian he charged up a Hyper Beam and shot it from left to right taking down everything in front of him including the huge statue of Giratina, everything came down rocking. All the cult members were blown up against the wall along with their pokemons, all of them fainted without even struggling for a second. Seeing this the admin fell on his butt shocked by what suddenly happened, he thought it would all be over and he will have another sacrificialmb but now things have turnedpletely opposite. Julian "Gengar, make sure he won''t escape" Gengar moved through the shadow and grabbed onto the Admin''s leg''s, feeling his legs getting grabbed by cold ominous hands, the admin got scared and tried to move but he couldn''t, he looked down to see what is holding him and he saw a ck shadow with two glowing red eyes and a mischievous but scary grin looking at him as two arms came out fo the shadow grabbing onto his ankles. Cult Admin "What is going on?" He asked as he looked at Julian, terrified. Julian didn''t say anything and walked towards the tied up people and pokemon who were on the side, he untied them and fed some berries to them. The pokemons healed up quickly and made a run for their lives, they were thankful to Julian for saving them but they still don''t trust him, as for the people, they stood there with their heads bowed down thanking him with everything they got. Julian "It''s ok, you all can go now, you don''t want to stay here" Julian said and sent them away, the survivors thanked him once again and ran away for their life, at the end of the day their life is more precious than anything else. After finishing this Julian walked towards the Cult Admin, seeing Julian walking towards him the admin got scared but he has no ce to run. Cult Admin "What do you want?" He asked in fear. Julian "I could ask for your life, just like those innocent people you have killed for no reason but I am not going to do that, I will torture you till you break and even after that you will not receive death that you would wish for" Julian said. Cult Admin "Innocent people? There are no innocent people in this world and their life is nothingpared to our god''s purpose, I did all this for our god, I am a selfless man" The man said, listening to him Julian wondered what it''s really up with these people. Julian ''Do they really believe in this stupid thing that ispletely made up, they all seem to have to been brainwashed by someone'' Julian "Tell me what your leader is nning and where is he?" He asked as he applied pressure on the admin, the admin shivered in fear but he didn''t open his mouth at all. Cult Admin "I am never going to reveal what the high priest is nning, you can do whatever you want" Admin said. Hearing him Julian smiled and suddenly put his hand on top of the admin''s head and grabbed his hair. He then smashed the admin''s face right on the ground causing cracks below the admin''s face. Chapter 414 - Torture (1) As Julian smashed the Admin''s head on the ground a small blood stter appeared, Julian pealed of the head the ground as the smashed nose of the admin could be seen, his nose ispletely ttened as blood drips out of it as it covered the admin''s teeth with blood as it turned red. The Admin started to breathe heavily as his nose is blocked by the shattered bones inside his nose, unable to breathe through his nose he had to breathe through his mouth heavily. ?? Julian "I won''t take no for an answer, tell me what your leader is trying to do or face the consequence, I promise I won''t kill you but I will do something that is worse than death" Julian said. Cult Admin "Ha....haha..... In your dreams" He said andughed as he spat some blood and coughed. Julian "As you wish" Julian said and mmed the admin''s head once again on the ground which caused some deep cuts on his face. Julian "Talk" Julian pulled the Admin''s head up again and asked him to talk. Cult Admin "I won''t, even if you kill me, I won''t talk even a single word about the high priest''s goal" The Admin said and he coughed more blood. Julian "I really don''t have time for this, looks like I have to go to the old ways" Julian said and pulled out a chair and a long rope, he tied up the Admin to the chair and made him sit straight. The Admin didn''t know what Julian is going to do to him but he felt fear creeping into him but his mind was already set, he won''t speak a word. Too bad for him Julian knew how to crack even the toughest nut, let alone these delusional admins. He took out his toolbox and opened it and took out a plier from inside and snapped it twice in front of the Admin to scare him. Julian "Onest chance, if you don''t speak the pain will keep getting more and more" Julian said and grabbed onto one of the Admin''s arm, but before he did anything he sent Tyranitar and Gengar back to their pokemon, even though they were exposed to violence they haven''t been exposed to something that Julian is going to do and he doesn''t want them to see it. This cult had really pissed him off, killing for just some idiotic theory some old civilization came up with, this was total bullshit to him. Cult Admin "Fuck off, hahahahaha" He said andughed. Julian "As you wish" Julian said and his eyes turned cold, he doesn''t like doing this but this cult is too much even for him, like the previous evil team he has faced none of them have gone to this extreme, killing innocents for no reason, this was a work of a psychopath in his eyes. He took the plier and put its mouth on the Cult Admin''s right thumb and he pressed it, as the plier got pressed a sharp burst could be heard as the Cult Admin started to scream in pain, too bad he couldn''t even move because he is totally tied up and has no way to relieve the pain except screaming. Julian "Well we still have nine more to go, I hope you can stay conscious, well it doesn''t matter, I really have some potent medicine, if you pass out I will feed it to you" Julian said and grabbed on to the next finger. Cult Admin "Ha..ha...hah, I..told you...I won''t say a word, do yo-your worst" The Cult Admin said as he is still suffering from the pain. Julian "Good, I wouldn''t want the torture session to be over so quickly, I will make sure you remember every innocent face that you have killed till now, the pain you are suffering right now is nothingpared to the one that their loved once would have gone through, taking a life is not an option, it''s your own selfish choice, I will make sure you suffer a lot, but it still won''t bepared to the pain and suffering that you caused to the family of the ones you have killed, the people and pokemon alike" Julian said and snapped once again, the Admin screamed again in pain, one after the other Julian snapped one finger after the other but he saved the index fingers, the rest of them arepletely crushed as they bleed rapidly, Julian is surprised by how resistant this man in front of him his but he is also not done as well, this was just the first phase. Seeing that the Admin is about to pass out from pain Julian took out some very potent berry and crushed it and put it inside the Admin''s mouth and made him forcefully eat it, the bleeding stopped as the crushed fingers started to harden. The Admin gained back his consciousness and looked at Julian, he didn''t want to go through this pain but his devotion for Giratina was too great, he could go through anything for Giratina, it was not that he was born with it. Since he was a child he was forced down this path by the high priest, he told him that Giratina is the only great god and their life belongs to none other than Giratina. Julian "Look''s like you have survived the first round, now round two" Julian said and put the plier away and took out his next torture tool. Chapter 415 - Torture (2) Julian pulled out his next torture tool, a small box, he opened the small box and took out the torture tool that is inside, a hypodermic needle, the small box is filled with such needles. Seeing the needles in Julian''s hand the Admin didn''t know what Julian is going to do, he thought that needles would no way hurt more than pliers crushing his fingers. ?? But the Admin has no idea how much bad of a pain he is going to go through. Julian "Now, round two, onest chance, talk" Cult Admin "As I said before, fuck off" Julian "Jeez, you really don''t understand do you?" Julian said and grabbed his left index finger tightly, the Cult Admin tried to loosen from Julian''s grip but it was useless, Julian has a tight grip on it. He then slowly brought the tip of the needle towards the Admin''s finger and then he inserted it right between the fingernail and the muscle below it, feeling the needle go right between his fingernail and finger the Admin felt a pain he has never felt before, he screamed in pain as his blew out all the air from his lungs, he tried to get out of Julian''s grip to but it was useless, Julian didn''t let go. The Cult admin was going inside from this pain, he never thought that a needle would hurt so much. Julian "Come on now, don''t give up, there is still your other index finger, then the toes" Julian said and dug the needle deeper into the finger, the Admin screamed like crazy till he finally lost his voice, he felt light-headed and started to sweat from everywhere, things are going very badly for him, he didn''t want to suffer anymore but his ideologies are conflicting with his pain. Julian left the needle there and took out another needle and didn''t waste time to speak, he grabbed the Admin''s other finger and inserted the needle as same as the first method, right between the fingernail and the finger. The Cult admin screamed again, but his voice is very low, he is about to pass out again, seeing this Julian fed him another potent berry as the admin gained his conscious back and looked at Julian with terrified eyes. He wanted to die than being treated like this, he wasn''t even allowed to faint, this was the worst thing he has ever experienced in his life. Cult Admin "Kill...meeeee" The admin whispered as he was not in the right mind at all. Julian "Hahaha, do you think I was joking that time, you deserve worst that this, this is the punishment for what you have done" Julian said and pulled out his next needle and this time he put it right between the admin''s toenail and the toe, the Admin screamed again in agony, as Julian was halfway through the process the admin finally gave in. His legs have already gone numb, his fingers are bleeding, his index fingers have turned dark purple along with few of his toes, and the pain he is suffering from finally overtook his ideologies. Julian stopped from inserting the needle into the smallest toe, till now Julian was surprised by how resistant the man was but he was sure this man would give in after he punctures through the smallest toe but he was wrong, the admin gave in before he could. Julian sighed and put the needle away, he got to his feet and looked at the Admin who is in a very bad shape right now and he has lost all kinds of reasoning, he just wants the pain to be over. Julian "Good, now speak" Cult Admin "Yes, the High Priest acquired an ancient scroll that specified how the create crystals that replicated the Griseous Orb, it was most likely the magic from the ancient times when war was frequent and people borrowed the powers of the legendaries by worshiping them, the High Priest wants to replicate the Orb and open the portal to the distortion world where Lord Giratina resides, we want the Lord to rule the universe again, he was kicked out by the other two and made the Lord suffer eternal loneliness, the Lord needs loving and respect that we are going to provide, once the Lordes to our world we will be its followers and the Lord will be the ruler" Julian "What kind of pathetic bullshit is that?" Julian asked as he frowned from hearing this. Cult Admin "It''s not false, it''s real, the High Priest has contacted our Lord many times, the Lord himself has asked for this to happen" He said. Julian "Giratina said your High Priest to open up the portal to the Distortion World?" Cult Admin "Yes, the High Priest said it himself" Julian "Were you or anyone present when Giratina said to do so?" Cult Admin "No, the High Priest can only talk with the lord when he is all alone in his magical chamber" Hearing this Julian already came to a conclusion, even these Admins knew nothing about what is really going on, the High Priest is the main culprit and he is ying all of them like puppet masters. Julian "How does your High Priest nning to open the Portal?" Cult Admin "Stark Mountain, the High Priest found the mysterious cave that contains the same power that the Lord control himself, the High Priest wants to use that power to create the ultimate replica that will be as powerful as the Original Orb and with that, he will be able to open the Portal" The Admin said. Hearing this Julian frowned, this was the same cave he is looking for as well, he knows it is in Stark Mountain and his next destination is also Stark Mountain, it is where the rare Mega Stones that belong to Tyranitar, Absol, and the one Victini is holdinges from. Julian ''This idiot is clueless about what the real n is, he thinks that his leader wants to bring Giratina to this world to set it free but I have a very bad feeling about this High Priest, I need to get to him'' Julian "Where is your High Priest right now?" Cult Admin "He is still in Stark Mountain". Chapter 416 - Cynthia In Danger? Julian "Mt. Stark huh? Good, you are lucky, you only got to the second phase, as for your high priest, he will go to the third phase as well" Julian said and got up after putting his tools away, he looked at the Admin with cold and emotionless eyes and delivered the final blow, his crushed the Admin''s knee with his kickpletely shattering it. ?? Julian "Don''t worry you won''t die, you will be a cripple forever, think of this as a punishment" Julian said and walked away as he heard the admin scream in pain, he did leave some berries behind but that would be of no help, it would stop the pain and stop the internal bleeding but the Admin will be cripple for the rest of his life. Well, it will be up to him if he wants to continue living ormit suicide. After walking out of the cave Julian sighed and took out his bike and rode off. Mt rk is on apletely different ind so he has to take a ferry or a boat from Veilstone city to reach there. After riding for a few hours he arrived at Veilstone City, he wanted to take some rest after today''s incident, he rented a room in a hotel and slept for the day. Next day he woke up pretty early around 6 AM and stretched his body, after taking a bath he made himself some coffee and looked outside the window, he still remembered what he did yesterday, he didn''t kill that man but he did leave him in an even worse condition, he started to wonder if he was going back to how he was before. He promised himself he won''t kill anyone ever again but what he did yesterday was worse than killing someone, he left that man crippled and with a choice, live his life by struggling or kill himself to release him from his pain. He didn''t know what would have happened if the Admin had not submitted to Julian in the second phase. Julian ''I should find something to get my head out of this'' He thought and sat down on his bed and closed his eyes to meditate, he has not meditated for many months now, he didn''t have the time at all. He soon zoned off into a calm state of mind, after hours of meditation he finally opened his eyes, he didn''t get answers to his questions but it did calm him down. Julian ''Ah, I forgot something, Cynthia said that she was going to do a surgical strike on Cyrus, what happened, she didn''t answer at all'' He thought and took out his phone and called Cynthia but he wasn''t able to reach her at all, her phone seemed to have been switched off. Julian ''Did something happen?'' He thought and decided to ask the League because they would know about these kinds of stuff. If something happens to Cynthia they would be the first ones to find out. He directly made a call to the League, the phone rang on the other side and someone picked up. "Hello? Who is this?" It was the Chief. Julian "Chief, it''s me, Julian" Julian said. Chief "Ah, Mr. Julian, what is the reason for your call?" The Chief asked. Julian "Did something happen to Cynthia?" He asked directly, he didn''t want to beat around the bushes. Chief "Ah...Mr. Julian, how did you find out about this?" The Chief hesitated as he spoke Julian "So something really did happen huh?" Julian said and frowned. Chief "Yes, our Champion is badly injured and bedridden" The Chief said and sighed. Julian "Tell me what happened" Julian said as he gripped his phone tightly. Chief "Champion Cynthia found out that Cyrus was nning something that would cause disaster to Sinnoh, she also found out that he was importing illegal parts from foreign countries that are no under the League jurisdiction, since it''s a capital crime Champion Cynthia decided to go and capture him with a team of elite members, but when they reached to the hideout where Cyrus was staying it self-destructed all of our elites died, the Champion''s Garchomp protected her or she would have died as well" The Chief exined and sighed. Julian got furious, he didn''t know why but he was furious, he wanted to go and beat down Cyrus for what he did to Cynthia. Julian "Wait a minute, how many people knew about this mission?" Julian asked. Chief "Only a few core members of the league and I know what you are thinking, there is a mole in the League and that person informed Cyrus, we are currently trying to find the person responsible for this" The Chief said. Julian "Good, also triple the security around Cynthia, if they tried to kill her they will try again, a trainer of Cynthia''s level is a danger to them" Chief "I understand Mr. Julian, don''t worry we are on edge, no one is allowed to meet Cynthia except me, even the doctors are not allowed to visit her without me by their side" The Chief reassured, he knew how important Cynthia is, he cannot let such an important person of their region die. Even if the League is the one controlling the region the people listen to the Champion, they are the face of the League, a champion''s death can be a catastrophe. Julian "Where is Cynthia right now?" Chief "We are at Sunnyshore city at the city hospital" Julian "Ok, I will be there in an hour" Julian said. Chief "Mr. Julian, may I ask something?" Julian "What is it?" Chief "What is your rtionship with our Champion" Hearing the question Julian froze, for some reason he had no answer, he just ended the call without answering the question. Chapter 417 - In Love Again Julian "What was up with that stupid question, why did he even ask me that?" Julian said and walked out of his room and walked towards the elevator, once he got in the elevator he pressed the button to the roof, once he got on top of the roof, he pulled out a flute. ?? Its the Eon flute he was given to by Latios. Julian "It''s worth giving a shot" He said and blew the flute. After he finished blowing the flute he looked around to see Latios but he found no sign of Latios. Julian "Looks like I was taking a very long shot" He said and sighed. Julian "And why am I trying to go to Sunnyshore city, the Chief said she will be fine" Julian said and turned back to go back to his room when he suddenly heard a shockwave which would be ear-shattering to people if they could hear it but they can''t as its above human capacity, Julian turned around and saw a blue jet-like pokemon bolting towards him, it was Latios. Latios stopped right in front of him causing another shockwave causing the air around him to split with a loud bang. Latios got close to Julian and snuggled his head on Julian''s chest. Julian "Look at you, you have be a lot stronger from thest time I saw you" Julian said and rubbed Latios head, Latios purred happily, its been a long time since he saw Julian, as soon as he felt the flute being blown he rushed towards Sinnoh at full speed, just under 2 minutes he came to Sinnoh from Hoenn. Julian "Did youe from Hoenn?" He asked and Latios nodded his head. Julian "Wow, that''s really fast" Julian was surprised by this, to travel such long distances under 2 minutes showed how much Latios has grown on his own. Julian "Then let''s go" Julian said and climbed up on Latios and pointed at the direction of Sunnyshore city, Latios didn''t rip through the air like before, if he did even Julian won''t be able to hold on, the air would just st him off of Latios. On his way Julian wondered why he cared about Cynthia, he was not too much familiar with her but then he realized that he had spent a lot of time with her, every second of the week they spent together was with each other, they talked about everything, he felt a familiar feeling when he was with Cynthia. It was the same feeling when he was with Daisy as well. Julian ''Fuck don''t tell me I am in love again, this new body is a total piece of crap when ites to containing feelings, I even have a hard time controlling my anger which was not a problem in my old life, this body multiplies everything, even emotion, if this continues I might have hundreds of lovers'' Julian thought and started to sweat. Then he remembered about Daisy and Chloe as well, he couldn''t betray them. If he had to, he has to give up his feelings so that it won''t hurt them. He closed his eyes and started to meditate as it was the only thing that would be able to calm his mind, even he wonders sometimes how is he able to keep calm and not kill those cult people after all the horrible things they do. As he thought about what he did to that admin he realized that the cult admin has caused maybe hundreds and thousand people to go through mental torture, the loss of family is still worse than any physical pain, the loss of a family can break you from inside slowly and if you don''t have someone to take care of you during these times it is a no-escape zone. He thought about his actions and knew they were harsh but what the admin was going to do was even worse, he was about to sacrifice people and pokemons just to perform some prayer to a god that doesn''t even give a fuck about them. By crippling the admin, Julian saved the lives of the people who would have died from his hands in the future, maybe what he did was bad but what he did might have saved a lot of lives and he will continue doing this, in the previous life he took life of thousand of people in the battlefield, he didn''t know why the war began, he didn''t know why itsted for such a long time, what he did learn during the war is that every life is precious and the more he saved the better he felt. Julian felt better as he came to a realization, he knows he went far but he did it for the people that would have died from the hands of that man, now he doesn''t have to worry about that man ever hurting or killing someone ever again. As he came in peace with his inner self he felt relief and lightweight, and suddenly he heard a *ding* in his head. System ''Host broke through the first barrier, the host can now grow stronger'' Hearing this Julian smiled, he had stopped growing stronger from a very long time, it would have been over a year in his previous world, but now he freed himself from another shackle from his previous life, guilt. Julian ''Just the first barrier, looks like I also have a long way to go''. Chapter 429 - Origin Of Chaos? This time the High Priest kept quiet, he understood he was not in a situation to question the person in front of him, and he cannot die here. First, he is too afraid of death, second, his creation is missing. Julian "What did you do to that Hydreigon?" ?? He asked. High Priest "Why should I tell you" The High Priest said and spat on the floor, Julian frowned and suddenly kicked the High Priest on his stomach, sending him flying backward and crashing onto the wall, the chair that he was tied to shattered and the High Priest spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed in pain. Julian walked towards him and lifted his face. Julian "I won''t ask again, next time you won''t have a tongue to talk even if you wanted to" Julian threatened him. The High Priest gritted his teeth and looked at Julian in fear, his cold eyes were really not lying. High Priest "I found ancient magic that could bring back pokemons from death but I needed more, so I learned about the powers used by the god and found chaos with its origin, after that I killed a Hydreigon and started to create the ultimate weapon, hahahahaha, hahahahahahahah, hahahahahahahahaha" The High Priest suddenly started tough like a maniac as he thought about the Hydreigon he created, seeing the look on the High Priest face Julian got disgusted. Even Fredric was shocked by this, he had never seen a man like this before, creating a beast, first killing it then using magic to bring it back as a weapon, no wonder he felt such a sinister aura around the Hydreigon. Julian "What do you mean by finding Chaos and its origin?" Julian asked. High Priest "Hahahaha, of course, its life, Chaos is life, the most mysterious thing in the universe is life, and chaos is life, without chaos life cannot exist, the closest thing to life is blood, hahahahahaha, I created the most powerful being in the world, hahahaha" The High Priestughed again. Julian "All that blood sacrifice, you were doing it to harbor chaos?" Julian asked as he finally realized why all those innocent lives were taken away in the name of sacrifice was? It was for this man to create a monster that could destroy worlds at hismand. Julian "Do you understand what you have created?" Julian asked angrily. High Priest "Of course I know what I have created, its the ultimate being, too bad it''s not under my control or this world would have already been under my control and once that was done I would have ruled over the whole universe as its god, hahahahaha" The High Priest stillughed like a maniac. Julian''s blood is boiling from anger, but his mind is keeping him frommitting murder right now, but that didn''t mean it didn''t have any effect, all his emotion was being channeled by Gengar as he sensed Julian''s rage, the whole surrounding has turned ice-cold because of Gengar. Fredric felt chills running down his spine as he stared at Julian''s shadow, he could see the deep crimson eyes emitting a chilling aura, his ziken was shivering with fear as it slowly backed down, the pokemon in Fredric''s shadow also became very cautious as it felt Gengar''s power, when it first sensed Gengar it was not too worried but surprised that such a powerful pokemon existed but right now it knew it was no match for Gengar. Even the High Priest was shivering in fear as all that energy was being targeted at him, he was about to shit from fear, his body felt very cold, he felt his blood being frozen and his nerves started to indicate the pain he was going through Fredric "Young man, calm down, you will freeze us all to death" Hearing Fredric Julian calmed his mind and heart and so did the surrounding went back to normal, Gengar also calmed down after sensing Julian''s rage calming down. Julian "Why?" Julian asked. The Priest was already shivering in fear when he felt that aura bursting out into the room. High Priest "Of course to rule the universe, once I am able to take over the world, I will be able to open the portal to the dimension where Giratina lives, and my Creation is the perfect pokemon to bring it down, with Hydreigon''s nature of being evil from the moment it evolves into it, it was the perfect vessel for all the chaos, once I am able to bring Giratina under my control, the rest of the universe is nothing, hahahahahahahahahaha" He said and started tough again. Julian "How to stop it?" He asked. High Priest "Stop it? hahaha, no one can stop the chaos, my creation is Chaos itself, hahaha" Julian "You were talking about something in that temple, something that will be able to control Hydreigon" High Priest "It''s toote, my creation came to life before I could even finish the procedure, there is no stopping it now, it will feed on any form of energy to grow stronger and increase the chaos inside it, but you can still give it a try, hahahahahaha" Just hearing himugh made Julian very angry, Julian punched the High Priest twicepletely breaking his teeth. Julian "What is this thing?" High Priest "It''s a magical core that contains energy simr to the gods inside the mysterious cave, the magical core could filter the chaos that my creation absorbed but now it''s useless, it cannot contain raw Chaos, the magical core will just shatter when it wille in contact with my creation''s power, hahahahahahaha" Julian "This bastard" He said and punched the High Priest really hardpletely knocking him out, he even broke the High Priest''s Jaw. Julian [Gengar, he is all yours, don''t hold back at all, do whatever you can, show him what true terror means] He sent a message to Gengar, Gengar opened up his dimension under the High Priest as it swallowed him whole. Chapter 430 - Finding The Cave Julian got back to his feet and sighed, his mood was really not good, now his only option is to find the cave and find the magic core that is inside it, he doesn''t know if it will work but it''s his only hope. He is not strong enough to control chaos and he cannot risk destroying the rock inside the mutant Hydreigon or all the chaos will destroy everything. ?? Being the most destructive form of Omniforce, it is unreasonably violent and nothing in this world can contain it. Suddenly he received a call from Cynthia. Julian "What is it?" Cynthia "I think we found the Hydreigon you are talking about, it''s heading towards Mt. Cor but it''s and it''s also very different from how you described it" She said in a concerned voice. Julian "What?" Cynthia "Yes, it has five heads, eight wings, and two very long tails, and it''s very big about 6 meters, a Hydreigon shouldn''t be that big" Julian "Shit, it''s growing stronger, no matter what happens don''t confront it, as I said before it''s dangerous" Cynthia "Yes, I understand" With that, the call ended and Julian sighed Fredric "What will you do now?" Fredric asked. Julian "I think I need your help" He said. Fredric "What is it?" Julian "I want you to confront the Hydreigon, its heading towards Mt. Cor, you are the only one strong enough to confront the Hydreigon" He said. Fredric "Hmm, I will do as you say, or innocent lives might be at stake, that foul beast should be stopped" He said. Julian nodded and thanked him. Julian "Now I need to find the cave" He said and walked out of Fredric''s cabin, Fredric just watched as Julian left, he knew he could do nothing to help Julian find the cave, what he can do is slow down the Hydreigon. Fredric soon leaves the cabin as well as he heads off to face the Hydreigon. ___________________ Back to Julian, he goes around the resort to find a pokemon center, after finding one he walked towards the transfer machine and calls Professor Oak back in Kanto. Oak "Ah, Julian its been quite long since you called, what is it?" Julian "I need Pidgeot, can you send him?" Oak "Pidgeot? Ok, let''s see if he is here" Professor Oak says and walked out of theb to go to the field outside where all the pokemons are kept, after sometime Professor Oak returns with Pidgeot by his side, seeing Julian on the screen Pidgeot gets very excited as well. Oak "I will be sending him, by the way, did something happened?" Julian "Yes, a mutated Hydreigon is wreaking havoc around Sinnoh, I need to stop it" Oak "I see, then I will be sending Pidgeot" Professor Oak said and took out Pidgeot''s Pokeball and sent him back into it, then ced it on the transfer machine. On Julian''s end, a light shed and a Pokeball appeared in front of him. Julian "I got him thankyou, I will talk to youter" Oak "Ok, then" The call ended and Julian walked out of the pokemon center and called out Pidgeot, seeing Pidgeot Gengar came out of Julian''s shadow and greeted him. Pidgeot was also very excited as well. Julian "How are you doing?" He asked and patted his head. Pidgeot nudged his head against Julian''s chest. Julian "Come let''s go" He said and climbed up on top of Pidgeot and pointed at the direction of the mountain, with a p of his wings Pidgeot got off the ground creating a powerful burst of air around him and flew up, Pidgeot has gotten faster during the time it has spent alone, flying around Kanto and seeing many things. Seeing the progress Pidgeot has made, Julian was happy but he also realized something and he has to make this hard decision someday, sooner orter. Julian ''Let''s not think about it now'' He thought and closed his eyes as he felt the powerful gust of wind hitting his face, with Pidgeot''s speed it didn''t take them even five minutes before reaching the top of the mountain. Julian got off Pidgeot and looked around. Julian "Patrol the area and see if you find anything unusual" He said and sent of Pidgeot, Pidgeot flew off leaving behind powerful winds behind. Julian was so concerned about the cave that he didn''t notice Crystal just moved inside his pocket, for months Crystal has not moved but now it suddenly twitched. Julian soon started to walk around, he spread his Omniforce everywhere trying to find even a bit of unusual thing that can be caught. After hours of searching, he found nothing, he has covered the whole mountain top but it was of no use, he couldn''t find even a trace of omniforce or anything magical around, but then something happened, he heard a small squeaking from his chest pocket. His eyes went wide in surprise as he felt Crystal moving around his pocket, suddenly Crystal popped its head out but to Julian''s surprise its eyes are still closed, it''s still in deep slumber but it''s moving. Crystal came out of his pocket and started to move. Julian "Crystal?" He called out but Crystal didn''t answer, it continued moving forward so Julian started to follow it. After a while Crystal suddenly stopped right in the middle of nowhere, there was nothing around here, just in field covered with grass and it was on the edge, one wrong step and someone would be falling down for a very long time before SPLAT. The red crystal around Crystal''s head suddenly started to glow causing Julian to go blind for a second, he covered his eyes with his hand and when he opened them once again he saw a gigantic cave right in front of him while Crystal was about to in. Julian ''Crystal is the one who is fated to find the cave but looks like I got lucky as well'' He thought and soon rushed behind Crystal into the cave. Chapter 431 - Mysterious Plate Julian followed Crystal into the cave, once he entered the cave he felt arge amount of mysterious energy around the cave, he could feel a little bit of Omniforce mixed with this energy, the Omniforce was not pure but it still existed. Going further Julian felt something, a very strong presence getting closer to him and Crystal, the cave started to get darker as well and light became scarce altering his vision so he had no choice but to bring out Infernape, once Infernape came out his fire brightened up the cave and the path in front of him and Julian was finally able to see the walls of the cave clearly. ?? The walls around this cave are like crystals reflecting light from Infernape''s mes like this one crystal reflected the light to another brightening up the whole cave. Julian looked at these crystal rocks and realized that they were the same as the ones he got the rare mega stones from. He still has no idea how those mega stones came to form in this cave but it was not the time for him to look into that, he needs to follow Crystal to where it is going and possibly find the magic ore the High Priest talked about. Julian "Infernape keep following Crystal and be careful of that thing this is inside the cave" Julian said and followed behind Infernape. As Julian walked deeper into the cave he felt the presence of this thing growing stronger, he also sensed the concentration of the Omniforce around the cave getting stronger, on his way he found some rocks that could have had rare mega stones inside them but he cannot rick it. He followed Crystal deeper into the cave, but something started to bug him, his heart started to beat faster and faster as if something very powerful was waiting for him at the end of this cave. Julian ''Shit, what is this feeling, I have never felt like this before'' He thought, even Infernape was feeling pressured right now, his instinct became very sharp and are extremely alerted, any small movements will trigger him. But it didn''t seem to phase Crystal at all, it''s continued moving forward, it has been over half an hour and Julian has not reached the end of the cave, no one hase this far into this cave, anyone entering only dared to stay inside for 10 minutes at maximum the presence that wasing from the deep cave was very frightening, even Julian was not foreign to it, he felt pressured, his heart was beating faster and he started to sweat a lot. He hasn''t sweat like this for a very long time and now he is tired and drained out, he took out some berries and ate them, he gave some to Infernape as he was also having a hard time right now, as for Gengar he didn''t feel much different because he was hiding in his shadow dimension. After a while, the long tiring walk was finally over as Crystal led them to the end of the cave, the end of the cave is lightened up by faint blue light which was being released by a small pond in the middle, in the center of this pond is a small stone and on top of this stone is a blue-colored crystal ball. Seeing the magical orb Julian sighed but he was still feeling the pressure and the source was here but he couldn''t see anything that could be the source of this pressure, the magical orb is not the source of this pressure as it was a non-sentient thing and the pressure he was feeling seemed to being from something sentient. He watched Crystal just hovering over the orb doing nothing. Julian ''Wait a minute? how did the ponde to be here, there shouldn''t be any water source here'' He thought as he looked around to see any passages or openings from were water to enter. Julian ''Maybe the source is underground'' He thought and tried to walk close to the orb. Julian ''But why did Crystale here, does it have something to do with the magical orb'' He thought and he suddenly saw something, a drop of water suddenly fell on top of the orb and it suddenly sttered across the pond, seeing this Julian''s eyes went wide as he felt a very powerful aura in that small drop of water, he quickly looked up at the ceiling to finally notice the real reason behind the pressure he was feeling. He saw a stretched six side te which was sparkling with different colors all over its body, this te was the reason for the pressure he was feeling, he could feel the sentient connection of a being inside this te. Julian "I thought it was just a myth, I never thought I will be able to find one" Julian eximed as he saw the te. As he was feelings chills all over his body by encountering the mysterious ce he suddenly noticed a shing from the magical orb from below, as soon as the orb shed Crystal moved towards it. Julian "Crystal, wait" He tried to stop Crystal but it was of no use, Crystal couldn''t hear him and every step he took was getting harder for him. The red crystal on Crystal''s head touched the orb as it sucked the whole orb inside its crystal. Seeing this Julian couldn''t do anything but watch, Crystal''s body started to shine brightly blinding him, Julian covered his eyes and so did Infernape. As Julian peaked through his fingers he saw something that fascinated him, it looked like Crystal was evolving but there seemed to be no change in its body at all until he suddenly saw a small budge between its tails. Chapter 421 - Stark Mountains Cynthia "I cannot let you go alone" She said. ?? Julian "Hmm, I cannot take you with me but you can work on finding Cyrus again and if you find him don''t rust in, inform me and I wille" Cynthia thought about it and nodded her head. Cynthia "Ok, I will do that, I need to find Cyrus, he is up to no good and he has Uxie with him, who knows what he is nning to do" Julian "Don''t get in trouble once again" Julian said and chuckled. Cynthia "Don''t worry I won''t" Cynthia said and got up from her seat and joined Julian, as he was done here he decided to leave the city and head to Mt. Stark as that is where most of the answers lie. Cynthia saw him outside as he took out his bike and bid her farewell, he came to this city because he was worried about her and to find out what really happened to her during the raid she performed. Now that she is fine, he can go back to his own pursuit, that is to find the cult and put an end to them. He got to the airport and found a flight for himself that was going to Veilstone city, once hended in Veilstone city he quickly boarded a ship that will lead to the ind that holds Stark Mountain. The Ind is not a t ne so one couldn''t build an airport there, the only way to get to this ind is by water. Luckily the ind was not that far away from Veilstone city after a days travel Julian finally arrived at the ind, this ind is also a resort for tourist as well, there is also a fighting arena here for the entertainment purpose. The only thing that is off-limits is the Stark Mountain itself as the pokemons living there are said to be as strong as the ones trained by the elite four or even stronger, only the most powerful of the trainers are allowed to go there. And to Julian''s knowledge, there is only one person on this ind that is strong enough to roam the Stark Mountain, it''s an old man name Fredric, he is the residence of this ind for quite a long time, he trained himself in the Stark Mountains rising more powerful with his pokemons. He is also a guide to people who are very rich as it is the only way for him to earn money, manye to the ind but Fredric doesn''t have time to guide everyone into the mountains, so he only takes the rich there who are willing to pay a lot of money. After finding out what he needed to know Julian got himself a room in the resort. Julian ''I should find this Fredric, ask him if he has seen the cave I am looking for and also the Cult, he should know about it'' Julian thought and walked out to find Fredric. After asking around the ind and the few people that live here he found out that Fredric lives at the bottom of the mountain in a small cabin, Julian roamed around the ind and finally found the cabin he was looking for. It was a small wooden cabin made from chopped trees tied up together, it is a very simple house to live in, Julian looked around and found nothing, as he got closer to the cabin something suddenly came rushing towards him, seeing the surprise attack Julian jumped to the side and finally saw the culprit. It''s a ziken, the ziken stood right in front of him trying to stop from going any further, seeing this Julian smirked seeing this ziken trying to stop him. Julian ''Didn''t expect to see such a powerful pokemon here, it seems to be as strong as Cynthia''s Garchomp'' Julian thought as he looked at the ziken. Gengar who is in his Shadow was getting pretty excited to look down on this confident pokemon that is trying to stop Julian. Julian ''Gengar, you don''t need to worry about this level of threat'' He said to Gengar and took out his Pokeball and sent out Tyranitar, as Tyranitarnded on the ground causing it to shake which caught ziken off guard. Seeing this huge monster in front of it ziken took on its stance to fight back as it could sense that the opponent is very strong, both had advantage over the other, while ziken had an type advantage of fighting over Tyranitar''s dark, Tyranitar has Rock typing over ziken''s Fire. It is a pretty even match up, while Tyranitar has immense Physical Strength and Defense, ziken has Speed on its side. This can be a very interesting battle, Julian just stands there and looks at what ziken ns to do. He didn''t have to wait much long before ziken charged at Tyranitar with its fist on Fire, seeing this Tyranitar just stood there and took the punch but nothing happened to him, his defense was imprable, as ziken looked up Tyranitar smashed his hand right down on top of ziken mming it to the ground. ziken son backed of after taking that powerful hit, it realized it couldn''t take any hits like that again or it would be out for good. It realized that it had to use speed to its advantage if it wants to take down this giant. Chapter 433 - Fredric Vs Hydreigon Now that Julian has no choice but to confront the Hydreigon himself he had to be careful, this Hydreigon seems to be growing stronger by the second, he doesn''t want to wait till it grows so powerful that even his whole team would have a hard time to take on this monster. As he walked out of the mysterious cave he saw the bright sky on top of him. ?? Julian "I don''t have much time" He said and called Cynthia. After a few rings, she finally picked up the call. Cynthia "Yes, what is it?" She answered, in the background, Julian could hear some explosion and Cynthia also seem to be in some kind of bad situation as well. Julian "Where are you? What is happening?" Cynthia "We are near Mt. Cor, the Hydreigon has changed once again, it has six heads now and it has grown 10 meters, we are not able to even put a scratch on it, it''s getting very aggressive, me and the elite four and keeping it busy and away from the cities" Julian "I have sent help, he should be there is no time" Cynthia "Who are you sending?" Julian "His name is Fredric, he is very powerful, he should be able to stop the Hydreigon from rampaging around" Cynthia "Did you find anything that could stop this monster?" Julian "My only option is to destroy it, nothing else can be done, if we let it grow any further it will be a disaster that cannot be avoided in the future" Cynthia "Ok" As she was about to end the call Julian heard a gigantic st in the background, next she heard a devastating roar. Julian "What was that?" He asked. Cynthia "I don''t know, the Hydreigon was suddenly attacked by something" She said and looked at the Hydreigon as it stared at the forest below itself, suddenly something started to rise from the forest slowly, the aura around it was very powerful, a dark chilling aura causing the Hydreigon to get serious. Even Cynthia felt the aura around this neer. Cynthia "Is this the help you were talking about?" She asked Julian "What is it?" He asked. Cynthia "A Spiritomb, wait there also seems to be some old man standing on a Smence" She said as she saw an old man standing on a powerful Smence staring at the Spiritomb She said. Julian "I see, don''t worry it will take care of the Hydreigon till I get there" He said. Even though Julian knew Fredric had a very strong pokemon hiding in his shadow he didn''t expect it to be a Spiritomb, Spiritombs are very powerful pokemon, they only have one weakness and that is the Fairy type, they are immune to Normal, Fighting, and Psychic types, Spiritombs are very rare, some people even think they are as strong as mythical pokemon but these rumors are not urate as there have never been enough studies done on Spiritomb. They keep their distance from people and other pokemons, they feed on wandering souls, even the way theye to the world is different from other pokemon, they are the fusion of 108 spirits and they are bounded to a keystone that keeps them from using too much of their power. ______________________ The Spiritomb and the Hydreigon get into a standoff as the remaining people around them watch, the elite four are little relieved as their pokemons are exhausted after battling this monster, they quickly took out some berries and fed them to their pokemons so that they can recover. As the standoff began Hydreigon and Spiritomb stared at each other waiting for each other''s move, while Spiritomb was still sane same couldn''t be said for Hydreigon, it is rough and dangerous, it doesn''t think about anything but destruction as it is its nature. Hydreigon suddenlyunched six Hyper Beams at once which fused together bing an even bigger one but as the Hyper Beam touched Spiritomb nothing happened, the Hyper Beam just went through it, it is because Spiritomb is immune to Normal-type moves. Fredric "Spiritomb use Silver Wind" Hearing Fredricmand Spiritomb used Silver Wind, a gust of shining wind rushed towards Hydreigon and sted it down on the ground, Silver Wind being bug type caused some good damage to Hydreigon. Hydreigon got back to its feet as the damage it took started to heal, seeing this Fredric was surprised, he thought that taking down this Hydreigon would be easy but now he realized he was wrong, this Hydreigon could heal itself. Cynthia "Mister, be careful, this Hydreigon doesn''t seem to get exhausted at all, we hurt it many times but it keeps healing" She warned him. Fredric "Youngdy, thank you, I will hold this thing till that young manes" He said and ordered Spiritomb once again. Fredric "Use Shadow Sneak" Spiritomb charged towards the ground and went into a shadowpletely concealing its aura, the Hydreigon tried to find the Spiritomb but it was useless, Spiritomb suddenly came out of Hydreigon''s shadow andnded a powerful attack causing Hydreigon to crash into the trees, this time the damage was not too much because of the ghost type move, but the impact was huge. Hydreigon was hurt but it didn''t matter. It started to heal again. Fredric "This is troublesome" He said and continued his assault on Hydreigon. Chapter 423 - Pokemons In The Mountain Julian found himself in the forest, these mountains were filled with trees and grass, it would look like a forest or a jungle if it didn''t have a steep slope, the higher Julian got the greater the gravity became higher. Julian ''If this goes on, I will have to stay in this mountain for days, need to find the cult'' ?? He thought and increased his pace, he wanted to hunt down the leader as fast as possible, every minute he leaves that man live, the more danger he puts his world in. The threat of someone holding such power that can destroy the world is a big no-no for him, he can''t risk it at all. After walking around the forest he found some things that let him track down some people who have been here recently, he followed the tracks and he soon found some result to his search, a group of people wearing ck long robes, they were sitting in a group around a tree talking andughing. Julian ''What are these idiots doing?'' He thought. He climbed up a tree and slowly approached them, once he was right above them he carefully listened to them. "What do you think the high priest wants with this cave?" One of them asked. "Who knows, we can only do what he says or he will just sacrifice up in the name of our Lord, even though we worship the lord I don''t want to die so early" Another said. "Indeed, some times the high priest scares me, I just hope we don''t get in his sight or we may die" Another said. The remaining ones also agreed with these people, they all seemed to be very scared of their leader. Julian ''These men are scared of this so-called high priest, he rules over them with fear and looks like it works pretty well'' He thought and decided to confront them, he jumped down the tree and brought down two of them after mming their head on the ground, the other''s got startled but once they saw Julian they decided to attack by bringing out their Pokeball but before they could, they got punched on their faces, chopped down on their shoulders and neck, knocking all of them unconscious except one. The man tried to back off but Julian grabbed him by his robe and pinned him against the tree. Julian "Where is your high priest?" "He is at top of this mountain" The man said. He knew he has nowhere to hide and his body is not strong enough to take punches, he decided to go with Julian Julian "What is he nning to do in the cave?" He asked. "I don''t know, the high priest never tells us about anything, the only thing I know is that the high priest is obsessed with this cave" Julian "So did he find it?" "No, not yet" Julian "Good" Julian said and knocked the man out. Now that he knows where the man he is looking for is, he decided to go to the ce where the man is currently staying, on his way he was confronted by some very powerful pokemons, they didn''t back out with Gengar''s pressure alone, so he had toe to the surface and deal with them. Some of these pokemons were even stronger than the pokemons trained by the elite four, nearing Cynthia''s Garchomp in powers and he is not even at the top of this mountain. Julian ''No wonder Fredric was able to rise such a powerful pokemon, battling with these monsters would make any pokemons strong. As higher he climbed the stronger the pokemons got, most of them were already at champion level, but higher he continued the stronger they got, they crossed over champion level, any one of these pokemons to easily bring down Cynthia''s Garchomp if they know how to battle with strategies. Gengar also started to get excited as the power of the pokemons he encountered got stronger, too bad none of them were still a match to him. Some were able to battle for a minute with him but he was just fooling around, trying to see what the other party in front of him can do. Julian ''If this goes on, it will take hours before I reach the top, and with all this battling the sound of it might alert those people'' He thought. But he has to continue doing this, he cannot make a grand entrance. If these people are able to reach the top of this mountain that means some of these people have pokemons that are stronger than the ones living here in this mountain. This could be a problem if these cult members have more than one of these powerful pokemons, to not cause more distraction Julian asked Gengar to make it silent. Gengar then used the shadows and took down the pokemon around the area and put them to sleep before theye looking for Julian to cause trouble. While Gengar took care of all the pokemons and put them to sleep, Julian fanned out the mountain and soon found what he was looking for, arge number of people in long ck robes covering their heads, the members of the cult and they are in hundreds. Julian ''There are more here than I thought they would be'' He thought. Chapter 435 - Wide Area Blast Now that Hydreigon was in a vulnerable state Fredric couldn''t miss this, he ordered his Spiritomb to use Silver Wind, this time Spiritomb used all its time to power up this move, the wind started to spin in front of Spiritomb at high speed as its power built up, the wind turned into a giant sliver tornado as the sun''s light made it shine. After the move was fully powered up Spiritomb sent it towards Hydreigon at full power, the other pokemons moved out of the powerful tornado''s way and let it tackle Hydreigon. ?? The Tornado started to suck up everything around it as it continued forward, with rubbles flying around it, the tornado became extra dangerous, soon it got close to Hydreigon trying to suck it up, the tornado was very huge, even though the Hydreigon is over eight meters long it couldn''t stop itself from not being sucked by the tornado. The Tornado crashed into Hydreigon causing it to roar in pain, its whole body started to sting as the wind attacked it all over its body, the Hydreigon roared and sted Hyper Beam from inside destroying the tornado, Hydreigon fell on the ground as it roared in pain, it body was filled with cuts from that tornado. But soon the cuts started to heal once again, this time it was slow but Hydreigon was still able to heal after that powerful move, it had used up all its Chaos energy to protect itself while it was transforming, now it had to pull out the chaos from the rock inside it to heal itself. Fredric "Don''t stop continue attacking" He said and asked Spirit Stone to continue attacking, it used Shadow Sneak and attacked Hydreigon again, Cynthia and others also did the same. They had to keep resting during this as they might exhaust their pokemon''s energy, Hydreigon justid there as it continued healing itself without doing anything, things seemed very calm right now, this giant was finally calm, it stopped moving around, itid on the ground as its purple eyes stared at Spiritomb. They thought that they finally stopped this Hydreigon but they are all wrong, Hydreigon is just trying to gain all its power back, the rock inside it started to absorb the energy in the surrounding and started to feed on it, this energy was being used by Hydreigon to power up so that it could destroy everything in one go. Seeing how calm this Hydreigon has gone both Cynthia and Fredric frowned, it didn''t feel right, they thought something was off but they couldn''t tell what. Then suddenly they felt it, a very scary feeling ran over everyone around Hydreigon, it got back to its feet as it spread its gigantic eight wings ready to fly off. Fredric "Quick, attack, don''t hold back" Hearing Fredric everyone was ready to attack with full power once again but it was toote, Hydreigon roared and released a powerful wide-area st of Chaos, the attacks that were released were destroyed into nothingness, the st then hit everyone sending they flying, all of them crashed against trees and boulders knocking them out cold. Hydreigon used the time it was lying down to build up enough energy so he could knock down all these people in one st and it was sessful. Now that it has taken care of these nuisances Hydreigon spread its wings and flew towards the top of Mt. Cor. ________________________ Stark Mountain- After the call ended between him and Cynthia Julian didn''t waste any time, he called out Pidgeot and hopped on top of him and let him sore the sky at high speed. Julian "Pidgeot, full speed, towards Mt. Cor" Julian said and pointed at the direction of Mt. Cor, Pidgeot pped his wings creating a powerful gust behind him ripping through the sound barrier. Feeling the powerful bacsh from the wind Julian covered himself with Omniforce to prevent him from falling off Pidgeot, while he was worried about what is happening in Mt. Cor, Crystal, on the other hand, was enjoying the high-speed ride. Its head was out of Julian''s pocket, it''s tiny hands are up in the air with its mouth open. Crystal "MMWWWWWEEEEEEEE" Seeing this Julian didn''t know what to do with this little trouble maker, even after such a long period Crystal still acted like a kid, while his other pokemons were maturing up as they grew stronger, Crystal and few of his other pokemon like Victini and Manaphy were still kids, this showed him that Mythical pokemons stay forever young. While Victini and Manaphy were still good with others, Crystal was something else, it didn''t listen to Julian when he tells not to cause any trouble, it would try to steal his other pokemon''s food and sometimes it would team up with Gengar to cause some mischief. And no matter how serious the situation they are in Crystal never got serious, it would either hid away in his pocket or would fall asleep. Julian sighed and let Crystal enjoy this ride while he worried about the other''s safety, he has faced this Hydreigon before and seeing how it continued growing stronger he knew that Cynthia and the Elite Four won''t be able to hold it behind for much longer. Julian "Pidgeot faster" He said. Pidgeot nodded his head and pped his wings harder, destroying sound barriers and leaving a trail of wind behind him. Chapter 436 - Battle At Mt. Coronet (1) Pidgeot sore through the sky of Sinnoh ripping the wind in front of him, one top of Pidgeot Julian was holding onto him so that he won''t get knocked out by the powerful winds and Crystal who is in his pocket was enjoying the ride. As Pidgeot flew over the Sinnoh sky nothing got in his way, just his presence scared away any pokemon flying in the area. ?? After an hour of riding on Pidgeot, Julian finally got near Mt Cor, the air was cold but the forest was still flourishing below, the trees here seem to be able to handle the cold and are growing properly, as Julian looked down the forest he saw some broken trees and battle marks, he frowned and started to look around. As Pidgeot got closer to the mountain he finally saw huge battle marks on the ground, broken and burned trees, shattered ground and lot of chaos energy around the area. Julian "Pidgeot, fly down" He gave the order and Pidgeotnded in the middle of the battleground, Julian got off of Pidgeot and looked at the shattered ground. Julian "Looks like a huge scale battle caused this" He said and looked around and saw a pattern, some trees were destroyed in a straight line, he followed this path and found a knocked out Spiritomb at the end of it, the Spiritomb was under a cracked tree which seemed to have stopped it from going any further. Julian "This is Fredric''s Spiritomb, looks like the Hydreigon defeated him, what happened to others?" He said and took out some potions and fed it to Spiritomb as it woke up, it looked around confused trying to figure out what just happened. It stared at Julian and finally remembered what just happened, it panicked and rushed towards a random direction. Julian "Pidgeot, look around the forest and find others who are knocked out or injured to me" Pidgeot nodded and flew away, Julian, on the other hand, followed Spiritomb. Spiritomb soon brought him at a random ce in the forest where Fredric was lying unconscious, he had some cuts over his body and was bleeding lightly, there was also a knocked out Smance next to him as well. Julian "Looks like Hydreigon sted them across the forest, it seems to have grown a lot stronger" He assumed and took out some berries and fed it to Fredric, once color returned to his face he opened his eyes and coughed some blood. Julian "Are you ok?" Fredric "Ya, I am fine, I would have been better if it were not for my age, Smance protected me from the impact" He said. Julian "What about others, who were with you?" Fredric "The Champion and the Elite Four were trying to bring down that monster alongside me, but it looks like thatst attack sent us all flying" He said. Julian "I see, don''t worry I will take care of it" Fredric "Did you find the Magical Orb?" Julian "I did" Fredric "I see, I hope you can stop it" Julian "Leave it to me, you should rest" He said and took out some medical supplies and kept it in front of Fredric. Julian "Take care of your pokemons, they need some rest as well" Fredric nodded. ___________________ As Pidgeot soared through the sky looking down on the forest to find people, soon he noticed someone near a broken tree, a woman and her Garchomp, the woman seems to be hurt, there was a swell in her ankle. Pidgeot swooped down towards her. Cynthia is looking at her twisted ankle, she wasn''t badly hurt, just her ankle was in pain, her Garchomp is also fine, her Garchomp looked worried as she looked at Cynthia''s ankle. Garchomp suddenly looked up at the sky as she sensed a very powerful presence getting closer and she was right, she saw a huge Pidgeoting towards them. Garchomp sted a Dragon Pulse at Pidgeot but Pidgeot just moved to the side dodging it easily, Cynthia also noticed the huge Pidgeoting towards them, at first she was shocked by how big it really was, then she suddenly realized that she had seen this Pidgeot somewhere. Cynthia "Garchomp wait" She stopped her Garchomp from attacking, Garchomp stopped her attack and let Pidgeotnd, Pidgeotnded on the ground and looked, Cynthia. Cynthia "You are Julian''s Pidgeot?" She asked and Pidgeot nodded his head. Cynthia "Where is he?" She asked. Pidgeot then signaled her to sit on top of him, she didn''t think twice before getting on top of Pidgeot, Pidgeot then pped his wings and flew up in the sky, Garchomp soon followed behind them. ___________________ After some time Julian head a sharp cry, it was from Pidgeot, he looked up in the sky and saw Cynthia being carried by Pidgeot and her Garchomp followed behind them, Pidgeot thennded on the ground and Cynthia got off him gently, she seemed fine. Julian looked at her and saw some minor injuries and a swollen ankle. Julian "Your ankle?" Cynthia "Yes, it got twisted" She said. Julian "Let me see" He said and got to his knee and looked at her ankle, Cynthia blushed as she felt Julian''s hand on her ankle. Julian "Hmm, there is no fracture, you will be fine, just some medicine and massage will do the trick" He said and took out some medicine and applied it on her ankle. Cynthia "What about the Hydreigon?" Julian "Don''t worry I will take care of it" He said. Cynthia "It has be very strong, it has seven heads and should already be ten meters tall" She said. Julian "I suspected that. You all did great, I will take care of it, you need to find others and help them" He said. Cynthia "Ok, it''s headed towards the top of Mt. Cor, I don''t know what its purpose is" She said. Julian "Thanks, I will be heading there, take care" He said and got on top of Pidgeot and flew away. Chapter 426 - Its Changing Snox stood right in front of the entrance of the cave looking down on the tiny human wearing ck robes, he didn''t know what was going on but since Julian said to guard the entrance he had no reason to question anything. "Such a huge Snox, it looks powerful, we need to attack it together before taking it down" ?? One of the guards said and tossed his Pokeball, following his lead others also tossed out their Pokeball bringing out their army of pokemon to face off against the giant. "Everyone don''t hold back, attack, we have to stop that man who just entered the cave" The Guard said andmanded his pokemon to attack, the other members also followed and attacked Snox, all type of attacks wereunched at Snox, once they made contact it created a huge st which caused rubbles flying everywhere. The whole area got covered in smoke covering everyone''s vision. "Looks like we got it, everyone rush in" The guard said and charged into the smoke covered cave, but he suddenly got pushed back by a bumpy wall, the smoke has still not cleared up so he couldn''t see anything and with the dark cave it didn''t help his vision. The other members also charged in, some of them experienced the same effect as the guard but the others who tried to get inside from the side were sent flying backward screaming in fear. As the smoke finally cleared up they finally saw what was the reason behind it. "Not even a scratch?" The guard eximed and backed off. "Everyone, attack with full power" He yelled and attacked Snox once again, this time all of them attacked once again but they used their final moves, all the pokemon exhausted their power tounch their attack. This time the explosion isrger than the previous one, it caused the ground to crack all over. "This time we definitely got it" The guard said and got back to his feet, this time he didn''t rush in but stood there waiting for the smoke to get clear, once it did all of them froze on the spot, there was no change at all. Snox just stood there with no damage, he is just covered in dirt from all that explosion, seeing this none of these men could process this, their pokemon used all their powerful attacks but it still had no effect on Snox. Now it was time for Snox to do his stuff, he raised his hand and brought it smashing down on the ground, Snox used Stone Edge but this Stone Edge is not a normal one, its buffed just like Snox. Blue glowing rock spikes came out of everywhere covering the whole entrance of the cave and he sent everyone sting out of the volcano. Normally Stone Edge could be dodged just by moving out of its way but Snox''s Stone Edge is a wide area attack, not one spot on the battlefield is not free of the blue glowing rocks. Now that the members of the cult were sent flying Snox had nothing to do buty down and fall asleep. ____________________ Julian rushed into the cave towards the core of the main event where everything is happening, Gengar has been blinded by that ck light cutting off his vision with Gengar, his connection is still strong and he could sense that Gengar is not in danger. He soon arrived at the end of the cave and he saw the hole through which Gengar went into the hidden temple, he jumped down and saw nothing but darkness, the only thing in his sight is the outline of Hydreigon constantly moving around, it seems to be going through some changes. While he could only see Hydreigon, he could hear other things such as the High Priest''s annoying yelling, he walked towards the source of the yelling and grabbed the High Priest from behind. Feeling someone grabbing him from behind the High Priest got scared and screamed. High Priest "What the fuck, who is it?" Julian "Shut up" Julian said and smashed the High Priest on the ground knocking him out. Julian [Gengar get close to me] Julian sent his message to Gengar so he gets closer to Julian, Julian took out another Pokeball and opened it bringing out Infernape. The ck light was so concentrated that it even absorbed Infernape''s me, even though his me is still there the lighting from it ispletely being absorbed by the ck light. Julian "Infernape, burn as bright as you can" As Infernape couldn''t see anything he was confused but as he heard Julian''s voice and hearing that he needs to burn brighter, Infernape didn''t hold back, he roared and burned brighter causing the whole room to get pretty hot. As Infernape burned brighter the room started to light up, the light from his me was getting brighter and brighter washing away the dark light, soon both Julian and Gengar could finally see what is happening. Julian saw the Hydreigon corpse twitching, he could hear bone cracksing from inside Hydreigon''s body. Julian ''It''s changing'' This was the only thought that came in Julian''s mind as he saw the constant twitching of Hydreigon''s body. Chapter 438 - Chase An undead, this is the only thing that came in Julian''s mind, this Hydreigon was not thinking at all, it was like a moth being attracted to a fire and the fire this time is Spear pir on top of Mt. Cor. Julian has a rough idea of why Hydreigon was here. ? ? Mt. Cor is said to be the gateway to the distortion world and other dimensions, and where would Hydreigon find chaos other than distortion world where Giratina is said to live. With so much Chaos around in the distortion world, this Hydreigon would be tempted, but Julian can''t let that happen. The reason why the distortion world is separate from this world is as it canpletely destroy everything in this world, thew of physics will be in chaos and everything will turn upside down from it. Hydreigon tried to get up but with a broken back it couldn''t, it roared and started to use Chaos from the rock inside its body to heal itself, it didn''t take long before its backbone, finding itself at a disadvantage position Hydreigon few away. Even though Chaos was indestructible, Hydreigon has a limited amount of it so it wanted to go to the distortion world and collect Chaos but right now, it used a lot of Chaos while protecting itself then healing its broken bones. Most of its Chaos has been exhausted and it has to wait for a while before recovering to full strength again, if it had not used Chaos it could have gone forever but it needed Chaos to grow so it used most of it to grow stronger but it was still not enough. If it gets hit by that tornado again, there is a chance for the rock inside it to break and the journey of this Hydreigon is over. Hydreigon roared and flew away, right now it''s instinct told it to run and so it did, the first instinct is always to survive, seeing Hydreigon is trying to escape Pidgeot swooped down towards Julian, Julian ran and jumped on top of Pidgeot as they followed behind Hydreigon. It soon became a high-speed chase, Hydreigon is on the run and Pidgeot is right behind his tail, they shattered sound barrier as they flew across Sinnoh at Mach speed, Julian enforced Omniforce on his and Crystal to protect them from the bacsh. He didn''t expect that Hydreigon was this fast, flying at Mach speed is dangerous. If a normal human was there in his ce their body would have been ripped into shreds. The chase headed towards north of Sinnoh where there is endless water, on the way attacks where exchanged, Hydreigon could easily shoot seven Hyper Beams at Pidgeot while one of its head was still looking front, to counter them Pidgeot would just cut them down with Air shes. Soon they were over the endless ocean, Hydreigon was not giving up, it wanted to escape but Julian can''t let that happen, this thing is dangerous and he cannot capture it as well because a Pokeball cannot catch dead pokemon. As Pidgeot and Hydreigon exchanged moves after moves over the ocean, it caused a lot of water pokemons to run away from the area, just their presence scared them away, their battle was on another level, these pokemons have never felt something like this before. Maybe on the ocean bed, there are still some pokemons that can rival Pidgeot and Hydreigon but they don''te to the surface, their kingdom is the bed of the ocean. Julian "Pidgeot, go all out, there is nothing we can do to save Hydreigon" Julian said and sighed. If this Hydreigon was under someone''s control he could have at least found some way to save it but no, this Hydreigon is undead, it was Chaos that was controlling it, Julian feared that if he bring Hydreigon down in Sinnoh the Chaos may destroy many cities, but now they are in the middle of the ocean, there is nond around. Even the pokemons in the area have fled far away. Pidgeot nodded and suddenly started to create wind des, during the chase he didn''t attack, he just made them follow him, once he created hundreds of wind des shaped like crescent moons, Pidgeot used Air sh andunched them at Hydreigon. Hydreigon tried to counter them with Hyper Beams but it was useless, it was able to destroy dozens of wind des but it didn''t matter the rest of them flooded the sky andnded on Hydreigon. It roared in pain as one wind de after the other kept on sting on its body, soon there was a huge cut on its body revealing the glowing rock inside its body that was releasing Chaos, Chaos tried to heal the huge gaping cut on Hydreigon''s back but it was useless, the remaining wind desnded on the rock. The first de left a small mark on it, the second de deepened the mark and they continued falling on the rock as the rock finally cracked releasing a burst of chaos at once. Hydreigon roared and started to fall down, Julian covered Pidgeot with a very thickyer of Omniforce and prevented him from suffering any damage, raw chaos is dangerous and only a barrier made from Omniforce could stop it. The burst of Chaos destroyed everything around the area, the air disappeared, atoms were destroyed, water underneath disappeared in a second, leaving a huge bowl shape in the middle of the ocean which soon started to fill up by the water from the side. The empty spot on the ocean soon disappeared, the empty area was filled by the air from the surrounding and everything returned to how it was before. Hydreigon continued falling down, the purple glow in its eyes faded away turning lifeless, Hydreigon''s corpse dropped into the ocean and soon disappeared from Julian''s vision, he could feel the lifeless body of Hydreigon floating down the Ocean, maybe in a day or two, its body will hit the ocean bed where it can finally rest in peace. The High Priest had killed this poor pokemon just for his stupid cause, Julian hated it, he hated the fact that he couldn''t save the Hydreigon, during his time in this world he came to love these beings, pokemons intrigued him, they were very intelligent, they had emotions like humans, they felt happiness, sadness, jealousy and every other feeling a human had, this made Julian more connected to them than any animals that existed in his previous world. He hated himself right now, he had no other choice to put this Hydreigon down, even though he knew it was dead he couldn''t bring himself to do it, but he knew he had to do it or many would die. Julian "Let''s go back Pidgeot, you did great" Julian said and sighed. Pidgeot could feel Julian''s sadness, he turned around and flew back towards Sinnoh slowly as he let Julian enjoy the fresh sea breeze. Chapter 428 - Interrogating The High Priest Cynthia "What is it? What happened?" She asked concerned. ? ? Julian "Ya, a Mutated Hydreigon with four heads and eight wings is on the loose and it''s very dangerous, I think you should hurry and find it and try to slow it down, get as much help as you can, all the elite four as well" He said. Cynthia "Is it that strong?" She asked surprised. Julian "Yes, strong and very dangerous and avoid any direct confrontation with it, its moves can destroy anything" He said. Cynthia "How did such a pokemon evene to be?" She asked. Julian "I will exin it to youter, it should have left Stark Mountains by now, be on guard, alert all citizens around Sinnoh to be in their homes as this pokemon is extremely dangerous" He said. Cynthia "What about you?" Julian "I am going to find a way to stop it, that is why I need time" Cynthia "Ok, got it, I will send out orders all over Sinnoh, alert the police and go in search of this Hydreigon" Julian "You do that while I find a way to stop it" He said and ended the call. Julian "Looks like I need to bring in my Pidgeot" He thought. Only his Pidgeot was capable of battling this Hydreigon in an air battle, while his Gengar could still float around, he was not a match for this Hydreigon''s speed. He called out Garchomp and got on top of his back and flew out of the volcano, Garchomp is a little rusty while flying, he is still not used to it as he just evolved recently and he was still used to the concept of flying, he would crash into trees many times while he practiced, he didn''t have wings, it was all the power in his des that defied gravity. Once Julian got back onnd he saw this huge number of people wearing robes staring at him like idiots, at first he didn''t want to finish them off because it might alert the High Priest but now he has the old man he didn''t care. Julian "Garchomp, use Hyper Beam" Julian didn''t give them any change to call out their pokemons, Garchomp didn''t wait for a second before sting a powerful Hyper Beam at all of them sending them flying all over the sky. Julian "Return" He called Garchomp back to his Pokeball and looked at the sky, there was no sign of the mutated Hydreigon meaning it was already somewhere else. If the Hydreigon goes north it will bring disaster upon itself as it''s an endless ocean waiting for it but if it goes south Sinnoh is in trouble. Julian "I have to go down and ask the locals if they saw the Hydreigon" He said and started to run down the mountain with the High Priest on his shoulder, on his way he saw someoneing towards him, it was Fredric along with his ziken. Fredric "Young man, where are you going?" He asked. Julian "Did you see a four-headed Hydreigon, which way did it go?" He asked. Fredric "That sinister being, yes I indeed noticed it, it headed towards Sinnoh, the aura around it was very horrifying. Since it came from the volcano I thought to check out what happened" He said in a worried tone. Julian "It is because of this fool, he revived a dead Hydreigon with some stupid magic" Julian said. Fredric "Then we have to get the answers from him once he regains conscious, we should head back to my cabin first" He said while looking at the high priest on top of Julian''s shoulder. Julian "Ok, let''s go" He said and followed Fredric back to his cabin, once they reached there, Julian tied up the high priest on a chair and sat down opposite to him with a ss of water in his hand, it sshed it on High Priest face but he didn''t wake up, seeing this Julian pped him twice before the High Priest screamed in pain and finally opened his eyes. He touched his burning red cheeks with his hand as his teary eyes looked at Julian who is sitting right in front of him. High Priest "You who are you? where am I? Where is my ultimate weapon" He shouted and asked. Julian "Shut the fuck up or I am going to cut your tongue off, you only answer when I ask a question" High Priest "Who do you think you are, do you even know who I a-" Before he could evenplete his sentence Julian pped his hard causing him to fall on the ground along with the chair. Fredric sighed and asked ziken to lift the chair back to its feet, the High Priest was about to cry, his old bones cannot handle any of those ps, he might even get brain damage. Julian "You were saying something?" Julian said and coldly looked at the High Priest, this time the High Priest didn''t speak a word, he knows he would get pped if he talked but to his surprise, he got pped again, it was not as hard as before but it still hurt like hell to him. High Priest "Why did you p me?" Julian "Because you didn''t answer to me when I asked ''You were saying something?" High Priest "But?" Before he could even talk he was pped again. Julian "Did I ask you anything? why are to talking?" Julian said. He is really angry at this old man and he would find any reason to beat the shit out of this bastard, even if it means ying a child''s y. Chapter 429 - Origin Of Chaos? This time the High Priest kept quiet, he understood he was not in a situation to question the person in front of him, and he cannot die here. First, he is too afraid of death, second, his creation is missing. Julian "What did you do to that Hydreigon?" ?? He asked. High Priest "Why should I tell you" The High Priest said and spat on the floor, Julian frowned and suddenly kicked the High Priest on his stomach, sending him flying backward and crashing onto the wall, the chair that he was tied to shattered and the High Priest spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed in pain. Julian walked towards him and lifted his face. Julian "I won''t ask again, next time you won''t have a tongue to talk even if you wanted to" Julian threatened him. The High Priest gritted his teeth and looked at Julian in fear, his cold eyes were really not lying. High Priest "I found ancient magic that could bring back pokemons from death but I needed more, so I learned about the powers used by the god and found chaos with its origin, after that I killed a Hydreigon and started to create the ultimate weapon, hahahahaha, hahahahahahahah, hahahahahahahahaha" The High Priest suddenly started tough like a maniac as he thought about the Hydreigon he created, seeing the look on the High Priest face Julian got disgusted. Even Fredric was shocked by this, he had never seen a man like this before, creating a beast, first killing it then using magic to bring it back as a weapon, no wonder he felt such a sinister aura around the Hydreigon. Julian "What do you mean by finding Chaos and its origin?" Julian asked. High Priest "Hahahaha, of course, its life, Chaos is life, the most mysterious thing in the universe is life, and chaos is life, without chaos life cannot exist, the closest thing to life is blood, hahahahahaha, I created the most powerful being in the world, hahahaha" The High Priestughed again. Julian "All that blood sacrifice, you were doing it to harbor chaos?" Julian asked as he finally realized why all those innocent lives were taken away in the name of sacrifice was? It was for this man to create a monster that could destroy worlds at hismand. Julian "Do you understand what you have created?" Julian asked angrily. High Priest "Of course I know what I have created, its the ultimate being, too bad it''s not under my control or this world would have already been under my control and once that was done I would have ruled over the whole universe as its god, hahahahaha" The High Priest stillughed like a maniac. Julian''s blood is boiling from anger, but his mind is keeping him frommitting murder right now, but that didn''t mean it didn''t have any effect, all his emotion was being channeled by Gengar as he sensed Julian''s rage, the whole surrounding has turned ice-cold because of Gengar. Fredric felt chills running down his spine as he stared at Julian''s shadow, he could see the deep crimson eyes emitting a chilling aura, his ziken was shivering with fear as it slowly backed down, the pokemon in Fredric''s shadow also became very cautious as it felt Gengar''s power, when it first sensed Gengar it was not too worried but surprised that such a powerful pokemon existed but right now it knew it was no match for Gengar. Even the High Priest was shivering in fear as all that energy was being targeted at him, he was about to shit from fear, his body felt very cold, he felt his blood being frozen and his nerves started to indicate the pain he was going through Fredric "Young man, calm down, you will freeze us all to death" Hearing Fredric Julian calmed his mind and heart and so did the surrounding went back to normal, Gengar also calmed down after sensing Julian''s rage calming down. Julian "Why?" Julian asked. The Priest was already shivering in fear when he felt that aura bursting out into the room. High Priest "Of course to rule the universe, once I am able to take over the world, I will be able to open the portal to the dimension where Giratina lives, and my Creation is the perfect pokemon to bring it down, with Hydreigon''s nature of being evil from the moment it evolves into it, it was the perfect vessel for all the chaos, once I am able to bring Giratina under my control, the rest of the universe is nothing, hahahahahahahahahaha" He said and started tough again. Julian "How to stop it?" He asked. High Priest "Stop it? hahaha, no one can stop the chaos, my creation is Chaos itself, hahaha" Julian "You were talking about something in that temple, something that will be able to control Hydreigon" High Priest "It''s toote, my creation came to life before I could even finish the procedure, there is no stopping it now, it will feed on any form of energy to grow stronger and increase the chaos inside it, but you can still give it a try, hahahahahaha" Just hearing himugh made Julian very angry, Julian punched the High Priest twicepletely breaking his teeth. Julian "What is this thing?" High Priest "It''s a magical core that contains energy simr to the gods inside the mysterious cave, the magical core could filter the chaos that my creation absorbed but now it''s useless, it cannot contain raw Chaos, the magical core will just shatter when it wille in contact with my creation''s power, hahahahahahaha" Julian "This bastard" He said and punched the High Priest really hardpletely knocking him out, he even broke the High Priest''s Jaw. Julian [Gengar, he is all yours, don''t hold back at all, do whatever you can, show him what true terror means] He sent a message to Gengar, Gengar opened up his dimension under the High Priest as it swallowed him whole. Chapter 441 - Date Night Cynthia looks around the car and is surprised by the interior of it, she saw lights, a minibar, drinks like wine, beer, juice, soft drinks, and some snacks, there are tv screens on the side with a lot of movie options pre-installed in it, even though she has a lot of money on her she has never indulged in the world of the rich, she has heard about luxury cars like this but never been in one. Julian "Looks like it''s your first time in such a car?" ?? He said. Cynthia "You didn''t have to do this" She said. Julian "Don''t worry it didn''t cost me, this is mypany''s car" He said. Cynthia "Oh, Ipletely forgot, you are also a businessman" She said. Julian "Yes, luckily I have someone who looks over the business" Cynthia "Hmm" She said and nodded. Julian "So what do you want to drink?" Cynthia "I don''t know, I will take anything" She said. Julian "Then, how about this?" Cynthia "What every you choose" Julian said and picked up a wine bottle, he didn''t know how good Cynthia''s alcohol-resistant is so he picked up the one with less alcohol content and the taste was pretty sweet, he knew that Cynthia liked to eat sweet things as he saw her eat those sweets when he visited her when she was injured. He took two sses and poured some wine in them and handed one over to Cynthia. Cynthia "Thank you" She said and held the ss in her hand, seeing Cynthia struggling to hold the thin handle of the ss caused him to chuckle. Julian "Looks like you really don''t indulge in the world of the rich" He said. Cynthia "I never got what so special about being rich?" She asked. Julian "Well, you don''t need to think about it, not everyone is as talented as you when ites to training pokemon so the only way they can gain influence is money" He said. Cynthia "Then what about you? You are the strongest trainer I have met my whole life, why are you indulging in the world of the rich?" Julian "Being rich gives you a certain amount of freedom, for example, you don''t spend much of your money on your pokemons right?" Cynthia "Indeed, the league funds me for that" She said. Julian "Indeed, and for that, you need to work for them. While I don''t depend on them for anything, so I can do whatever I want" Cynthia "I see, you really don''t like being controlled huh?" Julian "No, I don''t" He said and sat closer to her. Julian "Here let me help you" He said and put his hands around her''s and showed her how to properly hold the wine ss, she blushed a little as she felt Julian''s hand. Julian "Cheers" Cynthia "Cheers" With a cling of their ss, they drank their wine, after a sip, Cynthia was surprised by the taste of the wine, it was sweet and smooth, she liked it very much, she wanted to gulp it at once but she didn''t want to embarrass herself in front of Julian. Julian and Cynthia talked for a while about normal stuff and about their life, they get closer to each other as they talked, everything was going pretty well when the car finally stopped since the car had two parts which were separated by a ck wall, one side is where the driver sits and the other is the passenger seat where Julian and Cynthia is sitting, the driver cannot see what is happening inside protecting the privacy of the ones sitting inside. Driver "Master Julian, we are at destination" The driver''s voice came through a speaker informing Julian about their destination, Julian pressed a button on the side and spoke in it, it is a mic that will work when the button is pressed Julian "Ok" Soon the driver got out of the car and opened the door, Julian got out and gave his hand to Cynthia and pulled her out as well. Driver "Have a good night, Master Julian, Miss Cynthia" The Driver said and went into the car and drove off, seeing the driver go away Cynthia was confused, she looked around and saw stairs going up a hill. Cynthia "Where are we?" She asked. Julian "Well, keeping our identity in mind I decided to stay away from public ces, this is a penthouse registered under mypany''s name, care to join me?" He said and lent his hand, Cynthia nodded and put her hand around his arms and started to climb up the stairs with him, soon they arrived in front of the penthouse, the penthouse is not too big, it only has two bedrooms, one hall, a bathroom, and a kitchen and there is also a swimming pool outside. Julian opened the door and walked in, the house was clean and no one was inside, seeing this Cynthia blushed a little, both of them were all alone in this house and no one was around, no neighbors who could disturb them. Julian "Take a seat, I will go and prepare some food for us. Since you were so helpful I decided to treat you with food I made myself" He said and walked into the kitchen leaving Cynthia behind in the hall, she looked around and walked outside and saw the beautiful stary sky and the sea that reflected the light of these starts, she is mesmerized by how beautiful the surround here really was. She felt like staying here forever. Chapter 442 - Permission Julian started to prepare tonight''s dinner, he had already asked the caretaker of this house to prepare everything by today morning so he didn''t have to prepare anything by himself. Soon he started to make dinner, from starters to dessert he made everything, it took some time but it was worth it. ?? Cynthia who was outside could smell the food being prepared, she walked in and saw Julian inside the kitchen almost finished, she then imagined herself in the future with him, along with their kids in the mix, she suddenly erased the thought and walked into the kitchen. Cynthia "Need any help?" She asked. Julian "Sure, take these tes and ce them on the table outside, we are going to eat under the sky" He said and passed the tes to Cynthia, she nodded and walked out, Julian watched her as she walked out, and his eyes drifted to her swinging hips, he looked at her nice ass which caused him to get little excited but he soon calmed down. As Cynthia walked out and looked around she saw a round table covered with a white sheet, she ced the tes and ss on the table, she once again walked in and saw Julian carrying some dishes with him. Julian "Sit down, it''s finished" He said and allowed her to sit down before cing the food on the table, Cynthia looked at what he has made and got surprised, it was crabs, chicken soup, garlic bread, and other delicious stuff. He also brought a wine bottle next and sat down as well. Cynthia "This, you shouldn''t have done this" She said and felt embarrassed, she did nothing while she was here and now seeing how much Julian has prepared and how much effort he has put into it, she felt bad. Julian "Don''t worry, it''s nothing, I make more than this for my pokemons, today it''s just you and me" He said and started to serve her. Cynthia blushed as she heard what Julian said, ''Just you and me'', it meant a lot to Cynthia, her whole life she has never had someone who she could rely onpletely, her sister is very young and she cannot bother her grandmother as she is busy taking care of her sister, her whole life she was alone, and that is how she became the person she is. Sometimes she does feel vulnerable but being who she is she cannot show it in front of others but for some reason, in front of Julian she doesn''t feel like doing that, she feelsfortable showing him this side of her. She just kept quiet and watched Julian, once he was done serving he picked up his spoon and fork and looked at Cynthia. Julian "Let''s eat" He said and started to eat, things was very quiet as they sat there, there was awkwardness in the air. Cynthia "I need to tell you something" Cynthia suddenly raised the topic and looked at Julian, she mustered all her courage this time. Julian "What is it?" He asked as he looked at Cynthia, he saw her expression and noticed that she was struggling to tell him something. Cynthia "I....Julian, I... like you a lot" She said it, finally, as she said it all the pressure on her disappeared as she finally calmed down, the weight on her chest disappeared, Julian is stunned, he didn''t expect Cynthia to confess like this, maybe he expected it deep in his heart but he was still surprised. Julian "Cynthia, I... I don''t know-" Cynthia "Shhh, don''t say anything" She said and got up from her chair and walked towards Julian, she bent down and used her fingers to put her hair back on her ears and kissed Julian. At first, Julian was surprised, he didn''t think Cynthia would be so forward but after a few seconds he didn''t resist her, he also closed his eyes and put his arms around her waist and pulled her down, making her sit on hisp. Things started to heat up as the kiss became aggressive, Julian started to use his tongue inside her mouth, she also did the same, they kissed for quite a long time, Julian used his hands to feel Cynthia''s body, he creased her curves, grabbed her ass, her thighs, her breast causing Cynthia to moan lightly. They finally separated and looked into each other''s eyes. Julian "This rtionship, I am not alone to decide it" He said. Cynthia "I know, but you have nothing to worry, I have permission" She said. Julian "Permission? From whom?" Cynthia "Of course, Daisy and Chloe, they already knew this day wille" Julian "What?" He was surprised, he didn''t expect Daisy and Chloe to say this at all, but before he could think any further, Cynthia once again kissed him with passion and love, she used her hand to feel Julian''s perfect body and he did the same, their tongues danced with each other, tasting each other. Things started to escte soon after. Chapter 443 - Night Spend Together (18+) Things started to heat up between Julian and Cynthia, Julian picked up Cynthia and took her against a wall and continued kissing her, his hands went across her body slowly unhooking her dress from behind, Cynthia also unbuttoned Julian''s shirt while she continued kissing Julian. Julian didn''t waste any time and took her to the master bedroom in the house and dropped her on the bed, he was finally able to properly see Cynthia''s whole body, he had imagined Cynthia would be very fit under her dress and he was right. ?? She is wearing ck underwear which are covering her private parts, her breasts are normal size but they are very attractive, she has a t belly and he could see the lite outline of her abs, she has toned muscles over her body making it very pleasing to Julian''s eyes. He removed his pants and joined Cynthia on the bed, he got on top of her and started to kiss her again, he gently squeezed her breast causing her to moan lightly. He slowly removed her bra revealing her pink nipples, he sucked on them causing Cynthia to moan a little louder, she felt electricity running through her body as he did that, he then used his hand and slid it under her underwear touching her wet vagina, he slowly rubbed her clit making her moan even louder, he inserted his fingers inside rubbing the inner walls of her vagina, this was the first time Cynthia felt like this. Even though she has masturbated before, it waspletely different some someone else did it, it was very different for her, she shivered a little and arched her back in pleasure, Julian started to increase the speed of his finger as Cynthia''s vagina became wetter, her panty got soaked in her own fluids, feeling restricted in his movements he removed her panty and spread her legs, he wanted to taste them and he didn''t waste any second. He pulled her closer as he hands grabbed on to her waist, she tried to close her legs as she felt embarrassed showing her privates to Julian, she didn''t think it would escte this much but now that it has, she doesn''t want to stop, Julian removed her hands as it was blocking his sight, he started to lick her vagina inserting his tongue inside her. Cynthia felt blissful, she didn''t know what was this feeling as it was her first time doing this, she is a virgin, she had never had any rtionship her whole life, she was just interested in bing a champion by growing stronger, Julian is the first person she felt attracted to and now she is about to lose her virginity to him. Cynthia moaned loudly as she felt pleasure as Julian licked her vagina, she finally came as she couldn''t hold back, she sprayed all over the bed. Cynthia "I am sorry" She said embarrassed. Julian "Don''t worry" He got on top of her once again and kissed her, Cynthia shook her head and pushed Julian to the side and got up and looked at his underwear, she could see the huge bulge on his underwear. Cynthia "I want to see it" She said and pulled down his underwear, she finally saw his pig penis and eximed in shock. Cynthia ''It''s so big, will this go inside me?'' She thought and started to stroke it with her hand, then she started to lick on its tip. Cynthia ''I think this is the way to do it'' She thought and continued doing it, she then took the next step and put her mouth around his penis and started to give him a blowjob. Julian was surprised by how good Cynthia is, he has already suspected her to be a virgin but she was really good at blowjob. Julian "You seem to be very experienced in this" He said and teased her. Hearing this Cynthia blushed. Cynthia "I got some tips, nothing much" She said in a lite voice. Julian "From whom?" He got curious and asked. Cynthia "This..... I learned it from Chloe" She said even more embarrassed than before. Julian "What?" He was shocked when he heard this, he didn''t expect Chloe would be so forward, he never understood what went inside the mind of this girlfriend of his. Julian "When did you guys?" Cynthia "We kept in touch, she thought me some stuff and told me what you like and don''t" She said. Julian "I see, she was in this from day one" He said and sighed, he didn''t know how to feel but he was really happy to have a girlfriend like Chloe, she really understood him like no one else, even Daisy didn''t understand him as Chloe did, it was weird but he knew why. They were connected from their previous life, she knew Julian''s condition for some reason as if it was an instinct. Things then continued with Cynthia as she continued sucking on his dick, things started to escte again he pulled her down and looked in her eyes. Julian "Are you ready?" He asked. She slowly nodded her head, Julian smiled and yed with her vagina, and let it lube itself, after doing it for a few seconds, now that he is ready she pulled her legs closer to his abdomen and rubbed his penis on her vagina before slowly inserting it inside her. Cynthia squeaked as she felt her vagina being spread, she closed her eyes as it was her first time, she was ready for this, she felt pain at first so Julian stopped moving and let Cynthia adjust to it, after she was fine he started to move again. Things improved and it escted, Cynthia started to enjoy herself as Julian started to use ''Pound'', the whole night they spend in each other''s arms making love. Chapter 433 - Fredric Vs Hydreigon Now that Julian has no choice but to confront the Hydreigon himself he had to be careful, this Hydreigon seems to be growing stronger by the second, he doesn''t want to wait till it grows so powerful that even his whole team would have a hard time to take on this monster. As he walked out of the mysterious cave he saw the bright sky on top of him. ?? Julian "I don''t have much time" He said and called Cynthia. After a few rings, she finally picked up the call. Cynthia "Yes, what is it?" She answered, in the background, Julian could hear some explosion and Cynthia also seem to be in some kind of bad situation as well. Julian "Where are you? What is happening?" Cynthia "We are near Mt. Cor, the Hydreigon has changed once again, it has six heads now and it has grown 10 meters, we are not able to even put a scratch on it, it''s getting very aggressive, me and the elite four and keeping it busy and away from the cities" Julian "I have sent help, he should be there is no time" Cynthia "Who are you sending?" Julian "His name is Fredric, he is very powerful, he should be able to stop the Hydreigon from rampaging around" Cynthia "Did you find anything that could stop this monster?" Julian "My only option is to destroy it, nothing else can be done, if we let it grow any further it will be a disaster that cannot be avoided in the future" Cynthia "Ok" As she was about to end the call Julian heard a gigantic st in the background, next she heard a devastating roar. Julian "What was that?" He asked. Cynthia "I don''t know, the Hydreigon was suddenly attacked by something" She said and looked at the Hydreigon as it stared at the forest below itself, suddenly something started to rise from the forest slowly, the aura around it was very powerful, a dark chilling aura causing the Hydreigon to get serious. Even Cynthia felt the aura around this neer. Cynthia "Is this the help you were talking about?" She asked Julian "What is it?" He asked. Cynthia "A Spiritomb, wait there also seems to be some old man standing on a Smence" She said as she saw an old man standing on a powerful Smence staring at the Spiritomb She said. Julian "I see, don''t worry it will take care of the Hydreigon till I get there" He said. Even though Julian knew Fredric had a very strong pokemon hiding in his shadow he didn''t expect it to be a Spiritomb, Spiritombs are very powerful pokemon, they only have one weakness and that is the Fairy type, they are immune to Normal, Fighting, and Psychic types, Spiritombs are very rare, some people even think they are as strong as mythical pokemon but these rumors are not urate as there have never been enough studies done on Spiritomb. They keep their distance from people and other pokemons, they feed on wandering souls, even the way theye to the world is different from other pokemon, they are the fusion of 108 spirits and they are bounded to a keystone that keeps them from using too much of their power. ______________________ The Spiritomb and the Hydreigon get into a standoff as the remaining people around them watch, the elite four are little relieved as their pokemons are exhausted after battling this monster, they quickly took out some berries and fed them to their pokemons so that they can recover. As the standoff began Hydreigon and Spiritomb stared at each other waiting for each other''s move, while Spiritomb was still sane same couldn''t be said for Hydreigon, it is rough and dangerous, it doesn''t think about anything but destruction as it is its nature. Hydreigon suddenlyunched six Hyper Beams at once which fused together bing an even bigger one but as the Hyper Beam touched Spiritomb nothing happened, the Hyper Beam just went through it, it is because Spiritomb is immune to Normal-type moves. Fredric "Spiritomb use Silver Wind" Hearing Fredricmand Spiritomb used Silver Wind, a gust of shining wind rushed towards Hydreigon and sted it down on the ground, Silver Wind being bug type caused some good damage to Hydreigon. Hydreigon got back to its feet as the damage it took started to heal, seeing this Fredric was surprised, he thought that taking down this Hydreigon would be easy but now he realized he was wrong, this Hydreigon could heal itself. Cynthia "Mister, be careful, this Hydreigon doesn''t seem to get exhausted at all, we hurt it many times but it keeps healing" She warned him. Fredric "Youngdy, thank you, I will hold this thing till that young manes" He said and ordered Spiritomb once again. Fredric "Use Shadow Sneak" Spiritomb charged towards the ground and went into a shadowpletely concealing its aura, the Hydreigon tried to find the Spiritomb but it was useless, Spiritomb suddenly came out of Hydreigon''s shadow andnded a powerful attack causing Hydreigon to crash into the trees, this time the damage was not too much because of the ghost type move, but the impact was huge. Hydreigon was hurt but it didn''t matter. It started to heal again. Fredric "This is troublesome" He said and continued his assault on Hydreigon. Chapter 434 - A Powerful Combination As Spiritomb continued to pressure Hydreigon it started to get angrier, it started to destroy its surroundings by sting Hyper Beams everywhere, six Hyper Beams at different random directions were devastating. As soon as Cynthia''s and the Elite Four''s pokemon returned back to their perfect health they joined the fray and started to attack Hydreigon again, but no matter what they did they couldn''t bring it down, it kept healing itself and it was able tond its Hyper Beams over and over again on the pokemons belonging to Elite Four, some of their pokemon were knocked out cold after getting hit by those powerful Hyper Beams so they had to switch pokemon. ?? The main battle still went on between Spiritomb and Hydreigon, while Cynthia and the Elite Four took little breaks so that their pokemon could rest. They didn''t send all their pokemons for battle because it will be too troublesome, and with many pokemons out there, there is also the danger of getting hit by Hydreigon easily. Things are going as they have nned, even though they are not able to bring down this Hydreigon they are still able to keep it away from civilization. Hydreigon was getting fed up by this, the continuous attack from Cynthia and the Elite Four, while it was fighting Spiritomb got very annoying. It roared and released a st of chaos causing everyone to back off, all the pokemons that were trying to attack it was sent flying backward as they crashed into the trees. After the roaring chaos covered its body once again as it started to change. Cynthia "It''s changing again stop it" She shouted and ordered her Garchomp to attack, Cynthia''s Garchomp used Giga Impact and charged at Hydreigon, her speed broke the sound barrier as she tore the air in front of her, not only Garchomp but the pokemons of the Elite Four also charged at the Hydreigon. Aaron the Bug-type Elite four ordered his Drapion to use Pin Missile at full power, his Drapion suddenly created more than twentyrge Pin Missiles brimming with energy and sent it rocketing towards Hydreigon. Bertha the Ground-type Elite Four ordered her Gliscor to use Sky Uppercut at full power, her Gliscor''s ws started to glow as energy started to concentrate in them, the Gliscor charged at Hydreigon without fear. Flint the Fire-type Elite Four ordered his Infernape to use re Blitz at full power, his Infernape roared as the fire on top of its head started to crackle and started to burn at very high temperature causing the surrounding to heat up, its body got covered with bursting mes as it charged at Hydreigon at full speed. Lucian the Psychic-type Elite Four ordered his Bronzong to use sh Cannon at full power, his Bronzong started to collect all of its Steel Energy under its body, powerful pulsing steel energy was ready to destroy everything it touched, Bronzong sted it at Hydreigon, hoping to finish it. Five moves, the most powerful moves from the most powerful people in Sinnoh, any one of these attacks could destroy huge buildings and convert them into dust but now five of the most devastating moves are being used to bring down a monster that keeps growing stronger. First was Garchomp, she made contact with Giga Impact, the power behind this move was devastating, it caused the ground under her to shatter like ss, the trees in the surrounding were blown away, just the shockwave from it destroyed everything, but Hydreigon was just pushed back several meters, the Chaos around its body protected it. Garchomp was sent flying backward as the bacsh hit her, it wasn''t over as Drapion''s Pin Missile started to bombard on Hydreigon, more than twenty Missiles sted one after the other on top of Hydreigon, each missile could easily cause severe damage to any strong pokemon and this time Drapion used twenty of its missiles as it was its limit, but at the end, the result was still the same, Hydreigon was pushed back but the Chaos around it destroyed the missiles. One thing was certain though, the Chaos seems to have gone weaker around Hydreigon. Gliscor then charged at Hydreigon at full speed as it pulled its ws backward, creating as much tension it can put in its ws, as it got closer to Hydreigon itunched its attack, two powerful Sky Uppercuts, as the attacknded the shockwave blew away everything, Hydreigon was sent up in the air as it roared and came crashing down, but it wasn''t hurt the Chaos protected it. Infernape was next, as soon as Hydreigonnded on the ground, Infernape made contact with re Blitz, as it made contact the ground beneath its feet caved from the power carried behind the attack, cracks then spread all over the ground like a spider''s web, Hydreigon was sent flying this time as it crashed against a huge boulder, but once again no damage, the Chaos protected it. Now chaos around it was very weak, one more attack and it will disappear but they had no time, Hydreigon was transforming very quickly, another head has already materialized making it a seven head Hydreigon, five main heads that were cautious and two brainless heads that acted as hands. But the transformation didn''t seem to stop there, it was growing bigger but the Chaos around it was already disappearing. Bronzong''s sh Cannon was thest attack, as Hydreigon was trying to get back to its feet, it didn''t expect to get hit again, the sh Cannonnded destroying the Chaos protecting Hydreigon. Now that it was vulnerable Fredric took this chance. Fredric "Spiritomb, Sliver Wind" He gave his order. Chapter 446 - Growth Till Now Since it was already night Julian decided to call it a day, with Cynthia by his side they went to sleep, things are going to get a little chaotic, his life is already chaotic and he was about to enter the underworld to chase out Cyrus out of it so he can make his move. From what he heard from Cynthia, the Underworld is a powerhouse and he alone cannot take them on, he has powerful pokemons but they still have limitations, they cannot take on thousands of pokemon army single-handed, there is also the chances of hurting the innocents during these battle. ?? If all of his first pokemons team up to take down the underworld, it might be possible but their powers could destroy anything in their way. He cannot take chances, he has to be careful while doing this, he didn''t talk about it much to her, the spies won''t make a move for a while, so he has to wait, getting into the underworld in not easy, even though many people go to sell illegal stuff at the ck market of the underworld, that is all they can do. A normal person cannot find any information about anything that goes on in the underworld, they juste and buy/sell stuff that they need or have, the ones who need information have connections inside and Julian knows no one from inside, and the people in the underworld are not fools, they won''t just help some random person who they just met just because he could give them money. What is the use of money if they die soon after they get it, so people who had connections are very cautious about the people they meet and do business and since Julian has no connection he has to wait for these spies to be the bridge for him to get. He went to sleep. ____________________ Next morning was the same as yesterdays, he got up, took a bath made breakfast for both him and Cynthia, once she woke up she ate up her breakfast and both decided to leave, both of their destinations is Sunnyshore city, while Cynthia has to discuss about their next move with the League, Julian had to challenge the Sunnyshore gym. He didn''t just challenge the gym because he wants to participate in the leaguepetition, gyms were like polishing stones, he used these gyms to polish his pokemons battle instinct, gyms were always helpful, their main purpose was to guide young trainers to be better and stronger trainers for the future of their region, the ones who are gym leader now will not remain gym leaders forever, new and experienced trainers will take over them. These gyms were a perfect way to increase a pokemon''s battle instinct while they train and increase their power, some gyms always had limitations as the pokemon they have are too powerful for young trainers and the gym leader of the Sunny Shore gym is also the reason why it is always thest gym to get challenged. The gym leader of the Sunnyshore gym, Volkner is the most powerful gym leader of the Sinnoh region, his pokemons are very close to the Elite-Four level. Now Julian is about to enter the Underworld, his pokemons need to refine their battle instinct and Volkner is the perfect candidate for it, all of his Sinnoh pokemons have reached their final form. Crystal had fallen into a longa and didn''t develop during that time, but after it absorbed the magical orb from the mysterious cave, it became very powerful, but it still being a child in heart, it is always looking for mischief. Manaphy, Crystal''s best friend is also the same, once Crystal went to its long sleep, Manaphy started to train really hard so it could protect its vulnerable best friends. Garchomp has matured a lot, even though he has fun with his friends, when ites to training there is no one as serious as he is, he does twice the training as others in the group, after being one-shot by Tyranitar even after evolving, Garchomp realized how much of a gap was really there between him and his powerful senior, Tyranitar, and knowing that even his senior the mighty Tyranitar is nothingpared to Julian''s first batch of pokemon. Garchomp has seen, Electivire''s destructive lightning, Pidgeot''s sharp and destructive winds, Gengar''s control over his dimension and powers, Snox''s pure raw strength that could destroy mountains and Infernape''s mes that could burn anything that it touches, and there are still a lot of Julian''s pokemon Garchomp has not seen who are as powerful as Electivire and Pidgeot. Garchomp only had one dream, to stand on the top, be the most powerful Garchomp in existence. Victini, the third person of the mischief trio along with Crystal and Manaphy, it has also not cked off during the time, Crystal was in its deep sleep, along with Manaphy it trained a lot, Victini can now finally mega evolve, it became powerful enough to handle the energy from the Mega Stone that it received from Julian, it is also very close to learning its signature move ''V-create'', the most powerful fire type move said to exist from ancient history. Togekiss was just like other''s training harder and harder to master the control over her energy, she has refined it several times to make it more potent and powerful, she has be a tank that could easily take on the strongest Special Attacks, she has improved a lot during this time, her control over her powers is near a breakthrough. Rampardos has not beencking behind either, he has been training to increase his speed and power the whole time, due to his body, he doesn''t have high defense and he cannot improve it any further so he decided to be even better at what he is already good at, his insane Physical attacking power is already scary, now he wants tobine speed to it, he trained how to control his body while moving in high speed so that he doesn''t make any mistake while battling. Luxray has been training with his electrical powers, the things that Electivire thought him has helped him a lot, he even learned how to bend his lightning during its path so that his opponents can''t dodge no matter where they go. Lucario has been directly learning under Infernape, all the fighting styles that Julian has thought Infernape, he has passed it down to Lucario, Infernape is her teacher and their rtionship has been developing like a master and disciple, Lucario has the utmost respect for him as she has learned a lot after she learned how to fight from Infernape, Julian polished her up by teaching her how to use weapons and what weapon is useful for what kind of scenarios, Lucario became a weapon master in her own way, learning and developing her own style as she learned tobine different styles of weapons into one. Gliscor has notpletely mastered how to use his wings to glide forever, he has mastered the ways of flying, he can even outrun the fastest fliers if the winds are on his side and if they are not, he can easily dodge them, it is safe to say that it''s very hard tond a physical hit on Gliscor when he in on-air, but this doesn''t mean he hasn''t done any ground training, he has trained a lot, gaining control over his ground energy, being thest pokemon Julian caught in Sinnoh, he had it hardest then others to be powerful, he had a foundation but he had to ditch it and start new to perfect it and now he has proved himself and others that he is no pushover either. These nine monsters are Julian''s Sinnoh team, maybe his strongest team till now but they still have a long way to go before going face to face with their seniors. Chapter 436 - Battle At Mt. Coronet (1) Pidgeot sore through the sky of Sinnoh ripping the wind in front of him, one top of Pidgeot Julian was holding onto him so that he won''t get knocked out by the powerful winds and Crystal who is in his pocket was enjoying the ride. As Pidgeot flew over the Sinnoh sky nothing got in his way, just his presence scared away any pokemon flying in the area. ?? After an hour of riding on Pidgeot, Julian finally got near Mt Cor, the air was cold but the forest was still flourishing below, the trees here seem to be able to handle the cold and are growing properly, as Julian looked down the forest he saw some broken trees and battle marks, he frowned and started to look around. As Pidgeot got closer to the mountain he finally saw huge battle marks on the ground, broken and burned trees, shattered ground and lot of chaos energy around the area. Julian "Pidgeot, fly down" He gave the order and Pidgeotnded in the middle of the battleground, Julian got off of Pidgeot and looked at the shattered ground. Julian "Looks like a huge scale battle caused this" He said and looked around and saw a pattern, some trees were destroyed in a straight line, he followed this path and found a knocked out Spiritomb at the end of it, the Spiritomb was under a cracked tree which seemed to have stopped it from going any further. Julian "This is Fredric''s Spiritomb, looks like the Hydreigon defeated him, what happened to others?" He said and took out some potions and fed it to Spiritomb as it woke up, it looked around confused trying to figure out what just happened. It stared at Julian and finally remembered what just happened, it panicked and rushed towards a random direction. Julian "Pidgeot, look around the forest and find others who are knocked out or injured to me" Pidgeot nodded and flew away, Julian, on the other hand, followed Spiritomb. Spiritomb soon brought him at a random ce in the forest where Fredric was lying unconscious, he had some cuts over his body and was bleeding lightly, there was also a knocked out Smance next to him as well. Julian "Looks like Hydreigon sted them across the forest, it seems to have grown a lot stronger" He assumed and took out some berries and fed it to Fredric, once color returned to his face he opened his eyes and coughed some blood. Julian "Are you ok?" Fredric "Ya, I am fine, I would have been better if it were not for my age, Smance protected me from the impact" He said. Julian "What about others, who were with you?" Fredric "The Champion and the Elite Four were trying to bring down that monster alongside me, but it looks like thatst attack sent us all flying" He said. Julian "I see, don''t worry I will take care of it" Fredric "Did you find the Magical Orb?" Julian "I did" Fredric "I see, I hope you can stop it" Julian "Leave it to me, you should rest" He said and took out some medical supplies and kept it in front of Fredric. Julian "Take care of your pokemons, they need some rest as well" Fredric nodded. ___________________ As Pidgeot soared through the sky looking down on the forest to find people, soon he noticed someone near a broken tree, a woman and her Garchomp, the woman seems to be hurt, there was a swell in her ankle. Pidgeot swooped down towards her. Cynthia is looking at her twisted ankle, she wasn''t badly hurt, just her ankle was in pain, her Garchomp is also fine, her Garchomp looked worried as she looked at Cynthia''s ankle. Garchomp suddenly looked up at the sky as she sensed a very powerful presence getting closer and she was right, she saw a huge Pidgeoting towards them. Garchomp sted a Dragon Pulse at Pidgeot but Pidgeot just moved to the side dodging it easily, Cynthia also noticed the huge Pidgeoting towards them, at first she was shocked by how big it really was, then she suddenly realized that she had seen this Pidgeot somewhere. Cynthia "Garchomp wait" She stopped her Garchomp from attacking, Garchomp stopped her attack and let Pidgeotnd, Pidgeotnded on the ground and looked, Cynthia. Cynthia "You are Julian''s Pidgeot?" She asked and Pidgeot nodded his head. Cynthia "Where is he?" She asked. Pidgeot then signaled her to sit on top of him, she didn''t think twice before getting on top of Pidgeot, Pidgeot then pped his wings and flew up in the sky, Garchomp soon followed behind them. ___________________ After some time Julian head a sharp cry, it was from Pidgeot, he looked up in the sky and saw Cynthia being carried by Pidgeot and her Garchomp followed behind them, Pidgeot thennded on the ground and Cynthia got off him gently, she seemed fine. Julian looked at her and saw some minor injuries and a swollen ankle. Julian "Your ankle?" Cynthia "Yes, it got twisted" She said. Julian "Let me see" He said and got to his knee and looked at her ankle, Cynthia blushed as she felt Julian''s hand on her ankle. Julian "Hmm, there is no fracture, you will be fine, just some medicine and massage will do the trick" He said and took out some medicine and applied it on her ankle. Cynthia "What about the Hydreigon?" Julian "Don''t worry I will take care of it" He said. Cynthia "It has be very strong, it has seven heads and should already be ten meters tall" She said. Julian "I suspected that. You all did great, I will take care of it, you need to find others and help them" He said. Cynthia "Ok, it''s headed towards the top of Mt. Cor, I don''t know what its purpose is" She said. Julian "Thanks, I will be heading there, take care" He said and got on top of Pidgeot and flew away. Chapter 437 - Battle At Mt. Coronet (2) Leaving Cynthia behind Julian left on Pidgeot''s back at full speed, he doesn''t have time, he doesn''t know why this Hydreigon is trying to do on top of Mt. Cor. With Pidgeot''s speed, it didn''t take long for Julian to reach the top of the mountain, when he was here before, he didn''t have Pidgeot with him and there is no way he could climb up the mountain, his only option was to use those maze caves but now it didn''t matter now, he has Pidgeot and he needs to stop the Hydreigon from causing havoc. ?? Sinnoh is actually very lucky that Hydreigon has not directly gone to a city and destroyed it, from what Julian knows, blood can create chaos and if that was true then Hydreigon would have started to kill and absorb blood but it didn''t do anything like that. It destroyed everything that got in its path to Mt. Cor and the ones that tried to stop it got knocked out cold. After a few minutes, Julian finally reached the top of the mountain, the oxygen was pretty low but Julian is able to keep himself normal with the help of Omniforce and by now Pidgeot is used to high altitudes, he can go even higher if he wants to. Soon Julian''s eyes were covered with fog as nothing in front of him could be seen as the fog shaded everything. Julian "Pidgeot go further" Pidgeot nodded and flew forward through the thick fog, soon he saw the huge tform he had seen before, long pirs reaching the sky, if Julian was not right here he wouldn''t believe that such a thing exist, from outside no one can see these pirs but right now he couldn''t see the end of these pirs. And right in the middle of these pirs is the one he is looking for. The Hydreigon stood there in front of a huge spear. Julian ''What is it doing?'' He thought. Then he suddenly felt it, Chaos seems to be gathering around at a very high speed, it suddenly roared releasing a st of Chaos. Julian "Shit, Pidgeot, Air Cutters" Pidgeot burst out multiple wind des and sent it shooting towards Hydreigon, Hydreigon didn''t expect an attack toe towards it, the Air Cutters sted it away from its position. Hydreigon roared and turned around and saw Julian and Pidgeot, it roared once again and shot Hyper Beams at Pidgeot, Pidgeot skillfully dodged them and sent another barrage of Air Cutters, this time they arerger and faster. Hydreigon got hit again and sent it rolling on the ground again, it crashed into a pir but nothing happened to the pir, these pirs didn''t even crack a little, with the size of Hydreigon and the force it was sent flying these pirs should not have survived but these pirs seem different. They are very strong. Julian wondered how some of them ended up breaking and turning old. Hydreigon got back to its feet again and spread its huge wings and charged at Julian and Pidgeot, seeing this Julian jumped off of Pidgeot andnded on the ground, he didn''t want to be a hindrance to Pidgeot when he is fighting. Pidgeot moved away from Hydreigon''s path and charged at Hydreigon using Wing Attack, this time Hydreigon couldn''t use its speed as Pidgeot is faster, Pidgeotnded the Wing Attack right on Hydreigon''s back and sent it crashing on the ground. Hydreigon roared once again and turned towards Pidgeot shooting Hyper Beams once again, seeing how Hydreigon battled Julian frowned. Julian ''Even though it''s attacking without any strategy, its power seems to be endless, shooting Hyper Beams, that too seven at a time, even Snox won''t be able to do that, with its endless energy things will get hard as the battle continues, I have to bring it down faster'' He thought. Julian "Pidgeot, use Double Team, then Ariel Ace" Pidgeot made more than 20 copies of himself and shot towards Hydreigon using Ariel Ace, all of Pidgeot''s copies seem to be using Ariel Ace as well, Hydreigon once again shot seven Hyper Beams at once at Pidgeot. Pidgeot passed through his copies dodging the Hyper Beams andnded the Ariel Ace, Hydreigon was once again sent crashing against a pir. Hydreigon was getting annoyed by this, even though the hits were powerful Hydreigon''s ability to heal quickly made things a lot easier for it, it could easily outrun its opponent with their energy and take care of them. With Chaos as its fuel, nothing could stop it. Seeing it couldn''t touch its opponent Hydreigon decided to change again, it went back to its feet and roared, creating a burst of chaos which caused Pidgeot to back off, ayer of Chaos shielded it and it started to change again, Hydreigon started to grow bigger. Julian ''It''s changing again'' Julian "Pidgeot, full-power attack, don''t hold back" As Pidgeot heard Julianmand he nodded his head and started to p his wings, he pped it''s once and winds started to rise up, he pped it again and winds started to roar, he pped it again, winds started to sh with each other, with every p the speed of the wind around him increased, soon a powerful tornado started to form, the speed of this tornado kept on increasing, in just a few seconds it reached 200 mph and it kept on increasing, but it didn''t stop there, the speed of the wind kept on increasing till it reached 500 mph, the tornado sucked up everything around it, even Julian had to cover himself with a thinkyer of Omniforce to avoid the devastating power of this Tornado, this tornado could destroy multiple cities, it could rip of homes like they are nothing. Hydreigon felt the pressure as the Tornado started to suck up everything, even Hydreigon was being pulled towards it even though the Chaos was protecting it, it was able to hold itself for few seconds before being suckedpletely into the Tornado. Hydreigon was being spun inside the eye of the tornado, it''s chaos shield was being destroyed, it didn''t evenst a minute before depleting into nothing, but Hydreigon has changed sessfully, it now had eight heads, it became 13 meters long. Even though it grew big it was not a match for the tornado, it started to spin Hydreigon like crazy, it was thrown out of the tornado then being sucked into it once again. Hydreigon could just roar in pain as it helpless being tossed around by Pidgeot''s tornado, like a toy. Once the tornado came to a stop, Hydreigon was sent flying towards the Spear pir at 500 mph, it crashed against the tower and the crack of its bones could be heard. The damage done was sever but Julian had no choice but to do this, he could feel the chaos leaking from Hydreigon as it''s back broke. Hydreigon roared in pain as it tried to get back to its feet, even though this monster was very powerful, it was like a rough reckless beast and opponents like these were nothing to Pidgeot and Julian, they have taken out pokemons like these a lot. Hydreigon''s headsid on the ground as it seemed exhausted and about to die, this Hydreigon was already dead, but with that magic, the High Priest used Hydreigon turned into a weapon. Julian could feel no life force inside this Hydreigon, it was just pure chaos, the closest thing that Julian could rte this Hydreigon is an undead. Chapter 438 - Chase An undead, this is the only thing that came in Julian''s mind, this Hydreigon was not thinking at all, it was like a moth being attracted to a fire and the fire this time is Spear pir on top of Mt. Cor. Julian has a rough idea of why Hydreigon was here. ? ? Mt. Cor is said to be the gateway to the distortion world and other dimensions, and where would Hydreigon find chaos other than distortion world where Giratina is said to live. With so much Chaos around in the distortion world, this Hydreigon would be tempted, but Julian can''t let that happen. The reason why the distortion world is separate from this world is as it canpletely destroy everything in this world, thew of physics will be in chaos and everything will turn upside down from it. Hydreigon tried to get up but with a broken back it couldn''t, it roared and started to use Chaos from the rock inside its body to heal itself, it didn''t take long before its backbone, finding itself at a disadvantage position Hydreigon few away. Even though Chaos was indestructible, Hydreigon has a limited amount of it so it wanted to go to the distortion world and collect Chaos but right now, it used a lot of Chaos while protecting itself then healing its broken bones. Most of its Chaos has been exhausted and it has to wait for a while before recovering to full strength again, if it had not used Chaos it could have gone forever but it needed Chaos to grow so it used most of it to grow stronger but it was still not enough. If it gets hit by that tornado again, there is a chance for the rock inside it to break and the journey of this Hydreigon is over. Hydreigon roared and flew away, right now it''s instinct told it to run and so it did, the first instinct is always to survive, seeing Hydreigon is trying to escape Pidgeot swooped down towards Julian, Julian ran and jumped on top of Pidgeot as they followed behind Hydreigon. It soon became a high-speed chase, Hydreigon is on the run and Pidgeot is right behind his tail, they shattered sound barrier as they flew across Sinnoh at Mach speed, Julian enforced Omniforce on his and Crystal to protect them from the bacsh. He didn''t expect that Hydreigon was this fast, flying at Mach speed is dangerous. If a normal human was there in his ce their body would have been ripped into shreds. The chase headed towards north of Sinnoh where there is endless water, on the way attacks where exchanged, Hydreigon could easily shoot seven Hyper Beams at Pidgeot while one of its head was still looking front, to counter them Pidgeot would just cut them down with Air shes. Soon they were over the endless ocean, Hydreigon was not giving up, it wanted to escape but Julian can''t let that happen, this thing is dangerous and he cannot capture it as well because a Pokeball cannot catch dead pokemon. As Pidgeot and Hydreigon exchanged moves after moves over the ocean, it caused a lot of water pokemons to run away from the area, just their presence scared them away, their battle was on another level, these pokemons have never felt something like this before. Maybe on the ocean bed, there are still some pokemons that can rival Pidgeot and Hydreigon but they don''te to the surface, their kingdom is the bed of the ocean. Julian "Pidgeot, go all out, there is nothing we can do to save Hydreigon" Julian said and sighed. If this Hydreigon was under someone''s control he could have at least found some way to save it but no, this Hydreigon is undead, it was Chaos that was controlling it, Julian feared that if he bring Hydreigon down in Sinnoh the Chaos may destroy many cities, but now they are in the middle of the ocean, there is nond around. Even the pokemons in the area have fled far away. Pidgeot nodded and suddenly started to create wind des, during the chase he didn''t attack, he just made them follow him, once he created hundreds of wind des shaped like crescent moons, Pidgeot used Air sh andunched them at Hydreigon. Hydreigon tried to counter them with Hyper Beams but it was useless, it was able to destroy dozens of wind des but it didn''t matter the rest of them flooded the sky andnded on Hydreigon. It roared in pain as one wind de after the other kept on sting on its body, soon there was a huge cut on its body revealing the glowing rock inside its body that was releasing Chaos, Chaos tried to heal the huge gaping cut on Hydreigon''s back but it was useless, the remaining wind desnded on the rock. The first de left a small mark on it, the second de deepened the mark and they continued falling on the rock as the rock finally cracked releasing a burst of chaos at once. Hydreigon roared and started to fall down, Julian covered Pidgeot with a very thickyer of Omniforce and prevented him from suffering any damage, raw chaos is dangerous and only a barrier made from Omniforce could stop it. The burst of Chaos destroyed everything around the area, the air disappeared, atoms were destroyed, water underneath disappeared in a second, leaving a huge bowl shape in the middle of the ocean which soon started to fill up by the water from the side. The empty spot on the ocean soon disappeared, the empty area was filled by the air from the surrounding and everything returned to how it was before. Hydreigon continued falling down, the purple glow in its eyes faded away turning lifeless, Hydreigon''s corpse dropped into the ocean and soon disappeared from Julian''s vision, he could feel the lifeless body of Hydreigon floating down the Ocean, maybe in a day or two, its body will hit the ocean bed where it can finally rest in peace. The High Priest had killed this poor pokemon just for his stupid cause, Julian hated it, he hated the fact that he couldn''t save the Hydreigon, during his time in this world he came to love these beings, pokemons intrigued him, they were very intelligent, they had emotions like humans, they felt happiness, sadness, jealousy and every other feeling a human had, this made Julian more connected to them than any animals that existed in his previous world. He hated himself right now, he had no other choice to put this Hydreigon down, even though he knew it was dead he couldn''t bring himself to do it, but he knew he had to do it or many would die. Julian "Let''s go back Pidgeot, you did great" Julian said and sighed. Pidgeot could feel Julian''s sadness, he turned around and flew back towards Sinnoh slowly as he let Julian enjoy the fresh sea breeze. Chapter 439 - Feeling Guilty While Julian was returning back to Sinnoh something else was going on top of Mt. Cor, the chaos that was released by Hydreigon has not gone anywhere, the Chaos seems to be affecting the surroundings, the Chaos started to collect in the middle of the Spear pir, the tip of the pir started to glow as Chaos started to collect inside it, it shed a little and the light disappeared. Chaos also disappeared, it was as if it never existed. ?? After a few seconds a crack suddenly appeared on top of Spear Pir, it was small and the crack seems to be glowing, the barrier between the two dimensions is cracked, even a little extra force will shatter itpletely connecting the two dimensions with one another. ___________________ After two hours Pidgeot finally reached back to Sinnoh, during this time Julian thought about it a lot, what if he had a way to save that Hydreigon, but he also knew it was not possible, death is permanent and nothing can change it. He sighed and decided to not think about it, he cannot think of forgetting about it because this is a part of his life now, this part of life where he couldn''t save a pokemon who was turned into a weapon. Julian took out his phone and called Cynthia as soon as he saw Sinnoh. Cynthia "Julian, where are you what happened?" She asked worriedly. Julian "Don''t worry, I took care of it, Hydreigon won''t cause any trouble anymore" Cynthia "What happened?" Julian "I had to put a stop to it" Cynthia "You killed it?" Julian "It was already dead, it was a weapon created by a mad man, I wish I could have saved it but death is something no one can cheat unless they are god" Cynthia "I understand, you had to make the hard choice" Julian "I don''t know, if I had caught that man before this could have happened, that Hydreigon would have still been alive, flying around the sky living its life without worry" Cynthia "It''s not your fault, sometimes world works in very mysterious ways and we are only humans, we cannot do anything, don''t me yourself" Julian "Hmm...... Where are you right now?" Cynthia "We came to Celestic city, Bertha has a fractured rib, I had to bring her to the hospital" Julian "How is your ankle?" Cynthia "It''s fine" Julian "Ok, I will be there within an hour" Cynthia "Ok" The call ended and Julian sighed, what Cynthia said was indeed true, he had no idea what the High Priest was nning, he didn''t know what the cult was really up to, he found them and took action but he waste. He couldn''t find anything that indicated the main reason for their cause, it was all because the High Priest didn''t trust anyone, he kept it all for himself making it impossible for Julian to find anything and when he did find out about it, it was toote, the Hydreigon was already created into weapon. Julian "Pidgeot, towards Celestic city" Julian said and pointed towards the direction of Celestic city, Pidgeot nodded and changed his direction towards Celestic city, under an hour Pidgeot brought Julian to the city. Julian "Land on top of the hospital" Pidgeot nodded andnded on top of the hospital, Julian returned him back to his Pokeball after giving his some of his favorite berries, after sending Pidgeot back to his Pokeball Julian climbs down the stairs and calls Cynthia once again to inform her. Cynthia "Where are you?" Julian "I am in the hospital, tell me where you are I will be there" He said. Cynthia "I am in the emergency department,e over" Julian "I will be there" With that, he ended the call and headed towards the emergency department, once he arrived there he saw Cynthia sitting on a chair, she had a bandage wrapped over her injured ankle. When she saw Julian she waved at him and called him over. Cynthia "Here" Julian walked towards her and sat down next to her. Julian "How are the others?" Cynthia "Others are fine, Bertha is the only one who was severely injured since she is old her body is fragile, she has decided to retire after this" Julian "I see, once again how is your ankle?" Cynthia "It''s fine don''t worry about me, so what are you nning to do next" Julian "The cult has been taken care of, but Sinnoh is still not free of danger, Cyrus is still out there with Uxie with him, he is the biggest threat right now" Julian said. Cynthia sighed and grabbed his hand. Cynthia "Don''t worry, we will take care of it, I know you feel responsible for the Hydreigon''s death, it isn''t, and I also understand you don''t want to see innocent lives being taken away, Cyrus will be caught and we will save Sinnoh" She said. Julian "I know" He said and smiled. Julian "Haa, I feel so much better when there is someone to rely on" He said and smiled at Cynthia, seeing his smile Cynthia blushed. Cynthia "We are friends right, of course, you can rely on me" Julian "Friends, huh?" Cynthia "What?" Julian "Haha, nothing, how about I buy you dinner tonight" Cynthia "Huh? Ah.....sure, dinner would be great" Julian "Good, tell me where you are staying and I will pick you up" He said and took Cynthia''s hotel address from her. Chapter 440 - Beautiful Cynthia After talking to Cynthia Julian visited Fredric who was able being treated for his injuries, his injuries were not severe, he thanked Fredric once again for his help, after doing that he walked out of the hospital and rented himself a room at a nearby hotel, he decided to take Cynthia to dinner because she was very helpful to him, because of her and her team they were able to keep Hydreigon away from civilization, she helped him look into Cyrus, risked her life and did it again. He has not met anyone so selfless in this world, he had a very good impression on Cynthia and he also liked her but his feelings were chaotic, he didn''t know what to do, his body, mind, and heart reacted very differently, his conscious was the only thing that kept him away from epting Cynthia. ?? After getting into his room he sat down on the couch and turned the tv on and switched to a random news channel to see what''s going around in Sinnoh. To his surprise, the news channel actually caught Hydreigon and its battle with Cynthia and the elite four as they chased it towards Mt. Cor The reporters talked about the mutated Hydreigon and how it had more than three heads which were very unusual, they praised Cynthia and the Elite Four who protected Sinnoh from this dangerous pokemon, the people seem to be relieved after hearing this as well, they expressed their gratitude towards Cynthia and the Elite Four. Most of them didn''t know what happened afterward, how Fredric came to assist them and how Julian chased it to the north and finished it, but it didn''t matter, Julian was already famous and this thing won''t affect his status and Fredric had already separated himself from the modern world and spent his whole life in Stark Mountains. Julian "As expected, the news channels are really fast, I am surprised they didn''t see me chasing down Hydreigon, well they are still humans, they cannot find everything going around Sinnoh" He said and switched to a wildlife channel, the channel was talking about the animals and pokemons in the sea, they talked about their origin and many other things, they questioned about the pokemons that haven''t been discovered yet, they talked about the possibility of pokemon species that exist deep underwater which has never been seen or found. They talked about the origin of pokemon and how more than 900 species of pokemon are known to mankind and the number is constantly growing. Julian was really interested in these channels, they always talked about pokemons and their evolution, their origin and science behind their power, they even talked about technology being created by engineers and scientists who are inspired by these pokemon and how their powers may affect the evolution of humanity itself. Time passed by and it was time for Julian to pick up Cynthia, he quickly put on some clean clothes after taking a quick shower and walked out of his room, Cynthia''s hotel was not far away from his so it didn''t take long before he was in front of her hotel room. She had given him the full address of her room so he didn''t struggle to find her room, Julian is nervous, it has been quite a long time since he felt nervous, he knocked on the door twice and stood there waiting for Cynthia, soon the door opened and he saw a beautiful woman with long yellow hair, it is Cynthia, she is wearing a blue dress with shiny patterns on its border, Julian could see her long legs as the dress only covered her thighs, the V-shaped neck style of the dress allowed him to see Cynthia''s cleavage. Her breasts are not as big as Daisy''s or Chole''s but they were nice, she has parted her hair to right side revealing her ear on which she wore an earring made from sapphire, she had light makeup on her face and red lipgloss on her lips. Julian was mesmerized, Cynthia looked very beautiful right now, she didn''t usually wear makeup at all as she had to travel and battle a lot as her role as a champion, but she was still very beautiful and her natural beauty has captured the heart of many men and women who are lesbians around the world. But today she decided to prepare her self, Julian asked her for dinner, she got worried about tonight, she was worried if she wouldn''t be at her best in front of Julian for tonight''s date. Cynthia looked nervously as Julian''s eyes went across her whole body, she didn''t know how to feel right now, she had never been so vulnerable before someone''s eyes, she never cared about her looks but in front of Julian it was a different matter, his two girlfriends were very beautiful as well so she wondered if she was good enough for Julian. Julian "Wow, you look beautiful" He said. Hearing this a sensation of relief spread inside Cynthia as her beating heart calmed down. Julian "Are you ready?" He asked. Julian couldn''t take his eyes off Cynthia, only Daisy and Chloe have made him feel so helpless like this and now Cynthia is one of them. Being how he is, he likes being around beautiful women and Cynthia was definitely the ones who are on the top, Cynthia was already very beautiful in her usual clothing but right now Julian couldn''t take his eyes off her. Cynthia "Yes" She said softly. Julian chuckled and extended his arm for her, the usual bold, strong, and brave Cynthia was acting like a shy little girl right now and it was amusing to him. Julian took her down to the entrance of the hotel where a man in a white uniform was standing next to a ck luxury car. Driver "Master Julian, Miss Cynthia, please get in" The driver said as he opened the car''s door for them, Julian guided Cynthia into the car and followed behind, the driver closed the door behind them and started to drive. Chapter 441 - Date Night Cynthia looks around the car and is surprised by the interior of it, she saw lights, a minibar, drinks like wine, beer, juice, soft drinks, and some snacks, there are tv screens on the side with a lot of movie options pre-installed in it, even though she has a lot of money on her she has never indulged in the world of the rich, she has heard about luxury cars like this but never been in one. Julian "Looks like it''s your first time in such a car?" ?? He said. Cynthia "You didn''t have to do this" She said. Julian "Don''t worry it didn''t cost me, this is mypany''s car" He said. Cynthia "Oh, Ipletely forgot, you are also a businessman" She said. Julian "Yes, luckily I have someone who looks over the business" Cynthia "Hmm" She said and nodded. Julian "So what do you want to drink?" Cynthia "I don''t know, I will take anything" She said. Julian "Then, how about this?" Cynthia "What every you choose" Julian said and picked up a wine bottle, he didn''t know how good Cynthia''s alcohol-resistant is so he picked up the one with less alcohol content and the taste was pretty sweet, he knew that Cynthia liked to eat sweet things as he saw her eat those sweets when he visited her when she was injured. He took two sses and poured some wine in them and handed one over to Cynthia. Cynthia "Thank you" She said and held the ss in her hand, seeing Cynthia struggling to hold the thin handle of the ss caused him to chuckle. Julian "Looks like you really don''t indulge in the world of the rich" He said. Cynthia "I never got what so special about being rich?" She asked. Julian "Well, you don''t need to think about it, not everyone is as talented as you when ites to training pokemon so the only way they can gain influence is money" He said. Cynthia "Then what about you? You are the strongest trainer I have met my whole life, why are you indulging in the world of the rich?" Julian "Being rich gives you a certain amount of freedom, for example, you don''t spend much of your money on your pokemons right?" Cynthia "Indeed, the league funds me for that" She said. Julian "Indeed, and for that, you need to work for them. While I don''t depend on them for anything, so I can do whatever I want" Cynthia "I see, you really don''t like being controlled huh?" Julian "No, I don''t" He said and sat closer to her. Julian "Here let me help you" He said and put his hands around her''s and showed her how to properly hold the wine ss, she blushed a little as she felt Julian''s hand. Julian "Cheers" Cynthia "Cheers" With a cling of their ss, they drank their wine, after a sip, Cynthia was surprised by the taste of the wine, it was sweet and smooth, she liked it very much, she wanted to gulp it at once but she didn''t want to embarrass herself in front of Julian. Julian and Cynthia talked for a while about normal stuff and about their life, they get closer to each other as they talked, everything was going pretty well when the car finally stopped since the car had two parts which were separated by a ck wall, one side is where the driver sits and the other is the passenger seat where Julian and Cynthia is sitting, the driver cannot see what is happening inside protecting the privacy of the ones sitting inside. Driver "Master Julian, we are at destination" The driver''s voice came through a speaker informing Julian about their destination, Julian pressed a button on the side and spoke in it, it is a mic that will work when the button is pressed Julian "Ok" Soon the driver got out of the car and opened the door, Julian got out and gave his hand to Cynthia and pulled her out as well. Driver "Have a good night, Master Julian, Miss Cynthia" The Driver said and went into the car and drove off, seeing the driver go away Cynthia was confused, she looked around and saw stairs going up a hill. Cynthia "Where are we?" She asked. Julian "Well, keeping our identity in mind I decided to stay away from public ces, this is a penthouse registered under mypany''s name, care to join me?" He said and lent his hand, Cynthia nodded and put her hand around his arms and started to climb up the stairs with him, soon they arrived in front of the penthouse, the penthouse is not too big, it only has two bedrooms, one hall, a bathroom, and a kitchen and there is also a swimming pool outside. Julian opened the door and walked in, the house was clean and no one was inside, seeing this Cynthia blushed a little, both of them were all alone in this house and no one was around, no neighbors who could disturb them. Julian "Take a seat, I will go and prepare some food for us. Since you were so helpful I decided to treat you with food I made myself" He said and walked into the kitchen leaving Cynthia behind in the hall, she looked around and walked outside and saw the beautiful stary sky and the sea that reflected the light of these starts, she is mesmerized by how beautiful the surround here really was. She felt like staying here forever. Chapter 442 - Permission Julian started to prepare tonight''s dinner, he had already asked the caretaker of this house to prepare everything by today morning so he didn''t have to prepare anything by himself. Soon he started to make dinner, from starters to dessert he made everything, it took some time but it was worth it. ?? Cynthia who was outside could smell the food being prepared, she walked in and saw Julian inside the kitchen almost finished, she then imagined herself in the future with him, along with their kids in the mix, she suddenly erased the thought and walked into the kitchen. Cynthia "Need any help?" She asked. Julian "Sure, take these tes and ce them on the table outside, we are going to eat under the sky" He said and passed the tes to Cynthia, she nodded and walked out, Julian watched her as she walked out, and his eyes drifted to her swinging hips, he looked at her nice ass which caused him to get little excited but he soon calmed down. As Cynthia walked out and looked around she saw a round table covered with a white sheet, she ced the tes and ss on the table, she once again walked in and saw Julian carrying some dishes with him. Julian "Sit down, it''s finished" He said and allowed her to sit down before cing the food on the table, Cynthia looked at what he has made and got surprised, it was crabs, chicken soup, garlic bread, and other delicious stuff. He also brought a wine bottle next and sat down as well. Cynthia "This, you shouldn''t have done this" She said and felt embarrassed, she did nothing while she was here and now seeing how much Julian has prepared and how much effort he has put into it, she felt bad. Julian "Don''t worry, it''s nothing, I make more than this for my pokemons, today it''s just you and me" He said and started to serve her. Cynthia blushed as she heard what Julian said, ''Just you and me'', it meant a lot to Cynthia, her whole life she has never had someone who she could rely onpletely, her sister is very young and she cannot bother her grandmother as she is busy taking care of her sister, her whole life she was alone, and that is how she became the person she is. Sometimes she does feel vulnerable but being who she is she cannot show it in front of others but for some reason, in front of Julian she doesn''t feel like doing that, she feelsfortable showing him this side of her. She just kept quiet and watched Julian, once he was done serving he picked up his spoon and fork and looked at Cynthia. Julian "Let''s eat" He said and started to eat, things was very quiet as they sat there, there was awkwardness in the air. Cynthia "I need to tell you something" Cynthia suddenly raised the topic and looked at Julian, she mustered all her courage this time. Julian "What is it?" He asked as he looked at Cynthia, he saw her expression and noticed that she was struggling to tell him something. Cynthia "I....Julian, I... like you a lot" She said it, finally, as she said it all the pressure on her disappeared as she finally calmed down, the weight on her chest disappeared, Julian is stunned, he didn''t expect Cynthia to confess like this, maybe he expected it deep in his heart but he was still surprised. Julian "Cynthia, I... I don''t know-" Cynthia "Shhh, don''t say anything" She said and got up from her chair and walked towards Julian, she bent down and used her fingers to put her hair back on her ears and kissed Julian. At first, Julian was surprised, he didn''t think Cynthia would be so forward but after a few seconds he didn''t resist her, he also closed his eyes and put his arms around her waist and pulled her down, making her sit on hisp. Things started to heat up as the kiss became aggressive, Julian started to use his tongue inside her mouth, she also did the same, they kissed for quite a long time, Julian used his hands to feel Cynthia''s body, he creased her curves, grabbed her ass, her thighs, her breast causing Cynthia to moan lightly. They finally separated and looked into each other''s eyes. Julian "This rtionship, I am not alone to decide it" He said. Cynthia "I know, but you have nothing to worry, I have permission" She said. Julian "Permission? From whom?" Cynthia "Of course, Daisy and Chloe, they already knew this day wille" Julian "What?" He was surprised, he didn''t expect Daisy and Chloe to say this at all, but before he could think any further, Cynthia once again kissed him with passion and love, she used her hand to feel Julian''s perfect body and he did the same, their tongues danced with each other, tasting each other. Things started to escte soon after. Chapter 443 - Night Spend Together (18+) Things started to heat up between Julian and Cynthia, Julian picked up Cynthia and took her against a wall and continued kissing her, his hands went across her body slowly unhooking her dress from behind, Cynthia also unbuttoned Julian''s shirt while she continued kissing Julian. Julian didn''t waste any time and took her to the master bedroom in the house and dropped her on the bed, he was finally able to properly see Cynthia''s whole body, he had imagined Cynthia would be very fit under her dress and he was right. ?? She is wearing ck underwear which are covering her private parts, her breasts are normal size but they are very attractive, she has a t belly and he could see the lite outline of her abs, she has toned muscles over her body making it very pleasing to Julian''s eyes. He removed his pants and joined Cynthia on the bed, he got on top of her and started to kiss her again, he gently squeezed her breast causing her to moan lightly. He slowly removed her bra revealing her pink nipples, he sucked on them causing Cynthia to moan a little louder, she felt electricity running through her body as he did that, he then used his hand and slid it under her underwear touching her wet vagina, he slowly rubbed her clit making her moan even louder, he inserted his fingers inside rubbing the inner walls of her vagina, this was the first time Cynthia felt like this. Even though she has masturbated before, it waspletely different some someone else did it, it was very different for her, she shivered a little and arched her back in pleasure, Julian started to increase the speed of his finger as Cynthia''s vagina became wetter, her panty got soaked in her own fluids, feeling restricted in his movements he removed her panty and spread her legs, he wanted to taste them and he didn''t waste any second. He pulled her closer as he hands grabbed on to her waist, she tried to close her legs as she felt embarrassed showing her privates to Julian, she didn''t think it would escte this much but now that it has, she doesn''t want to stop, Julian removed her hands as it was blocking his sight, he started to lick her vagina inserting his tongue inside her. Cynthia felt blissful, she didn''t know what was this feeling as it was her first time doing this, she is a virgin, she had never had any rtionship her whole life, she was just interested in bing a champion by growing stronger, Julian is the first person she felt attracted to and now she is about to lose her virginity to him. Cynthia moaned loudly as she felt pleasure as Julian licked her vagina, she finally came as she couldn''t hold back, she sprayed all over the bed. Cynthia "I am sorry" She said embarrassed. Julian "Don''t worry" He got on top of her once again and kissed her, Cynthia shook her head and pushed Julian to the side and got up and looked at his underwear, she could see the huge bulge on his underwear. Cynthia "I want to see it" She said and pulled down his underwear, she finally saw his pig penis and eximed in shock. Cynthia ''It''s so big, will this go inside me?'' She thought and started to stroke it with her hand, then she started to lick on its tip. Cynthia ''I think this is the way to do it'' She thought and continued doing it, she then took the next step and put her mouth around his penis and started to give him a blowjob. Julian was surprised by how good Cynthia is, he has already suspected her to be a virgin but she was really good at blowjob. Julian "You seem to be very experienced in this" He said and teased her. Hearing this Cynthia blushed. Cynthia "I got some tips, nothing much" She said in a lite voice. Julian "From whom?" He got curious and asked. Cynthia "This..... I learned it from Chloe" She said even more embarrassed than before. Julian "What?" He was shocked when he heard this, he didn''t expect Chloe would be so forward, he never understood what went inside the mind of this girlfriend of his. Julian "When did you guys?" Cynthia "We kept in touch, she thought me some stuff and told me what you like and don''t" She said. Julian "I see, she was in this from day one" He said and sighed, he didn''t know how to feel but he was really happy to have a girlfriend like Chloe, she really understood him like no one else, even Daisy didn''t understand him as Chloe did, it was weird but he knew why. They were connected from their previous life, she knew Julian''s condition for some reason as if it was an instinct. Things then continued with Cynthia as she continued sucking on his dick, things started to escte again he pulled her down and looked in her eyes. Julian "Are you ready?" He asked. She slowly nodded her head, Julian smiled and yed with her vagina, and let it lube itself, after doing it for a few seconds, now that he is ready she pulled her legs closer to his abdomen and rubbed his penis on her vagina before slowly inserting it inside her. Cynthia squeaked as she felt her vagina being spread, she closed her eyes as it was her first time, she was ready for this, she felt pain at first so Julian stopped moving and let Cynthia adjust to it, after she was fine he started to move again. Things improved and it escted, Cynthia started to enjoy herself as Julian started to use ''Pound'', the whole night they spend in each other''s arms making love. Chapter 444 - Conflicted Emotions A new day, Julian''s eyes are closed as the sun rays pass through the window and hit his face, he slowly opened his eyes and felt Cynthia''s hand on his chest, he turned his head and looked at her, she is still asleep. Last night was very tiring for her so he didn''t want to wake her up, he got up from his bed and took a quick bath before heading to the kitchen and making some breakfast, he also had to talk to Chloe about her little action. ?? After making some breakfast for him and Cynthia he took them to her on the bed, he woke her up gently and gave her some coffee. Cynthia "What time is it?" She asked yawning and held the coffee cup. Julian "It''s 9 AM" He said and ced her breakfast on the side table and kissed her forehead, Cynthia is still getting used to this so she blushed. Julian "You have your breakfast, I need to make a call" He said and walked outside and called Chloe, it didn''t take long before the call was picked up from the other side. Chloe "So did she do it?" She asked before Julian could even talk. Julian "You knew about this?" Chloe "Hehe, of course, Cynthia is in touch with me and Daisy from the day we separated in Snowpoint city, she told us that you asked her for dinner, hehehe, was she good?" Julian didn''t know what to do with this woman, he has never met someone so open-minded like her, what she was doing is not something easy, if he sees Chloe with some other man, he would go full berserk but Chloe was different, well she was the most open-minded one, even Daisy agreed to it. Cynthia also didn''t mind being in a rtionship with him, did all the women in his life are open-minded, he wondered. Julian "Why did you do it, don''t you feel angry, sad, jealous?" He asked in a serious tone, even Julian is having a conflict in his thoughts as he was about to date three women at the same time, even though he liked all three of them, he felt conflicted, it was not a crime, in this world, a person could have multiple wives but he still felt conflicted. Maybe it was because of his old life, he wasmitted to a single woman his whole life, even though she didn''t end up with him, he never loved someone every again and now he is in love with three women at the same time. Things felt weird. Chloe "Of course, I would feel anger, sadness, and jealousy if you chased every beautiful woman you see but you are different, I know you need this, I and Daisy alone cannot satisfy you, I knew it from the day I met you, I was also conflicted but your charm is not easy to escape, I couldn''t escape neither did Daisy nor Cynthia, we all fell for it and couldn''t escape it. It''s hard to share you but knowing that someone like Daisy and Cynthia are the ones who I am sharing you with makes me feel a little relieved, they are brilliant and strong women who understand you, and all three of us understand each other making it even easier to trust you in each other''s arms" She said and paused. Julian "This... I don''t know what to say" Chloe "You don''t need to say anything, it''s who you are, you are special, you are not normal, and we understand that but if I catch you with any random woman who we don''t know, I promise you I will skin you alive, the women you date should have ss" She said with a stern voice. Julian didn''t know what to say to this woman, he was happy as well as sad for Chloe, even though she didn''t show it on outside, she was also conflicted, even if Julian didn''t understand what goes in her mind, he knows her heart. Julian "Don''t worry, there will be no one else, and next time I see you in person I will ask you something and you cannot refuse" He said. Chloe "Huh? What is it? Hehe, I can do anything for you" Julian "I know, but you have to wait till we meet again" Chloe "Oh, a mystery, I like it, hehe" Julian "How is Daisy? Is she doing well?" Chloe "Yes, she has be a very busy these days, she might be going on a tour to a region called Gr with her team, but it''s still not decided" Julian "Gr?" Chloe "Yes, I heard that in that region pokemons be gigantic because of some kind of power, this is also the reason why Daisy is going there, her team would like to get some new experience ande up with new grooming designs" Julian "I see, tell her to call me, I want to talk to her" He said. Chloe "Don''t worry I will inform her" Julian "Ok, then, I will be going, some things have to be taken care off, I love you" Chloe "I love you too, bye" With that he ended the call and sighed, he looked at the bright blue sky and the sea below it which reflected its color making it blue as well. He finally smiled and looked inside the bedroom to see Cynthiaing out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her, she walked out and hugged him. Cynthia "Who were you talking to?" Julian "Chloe, she was asking me aboutst night" Hearing this Cynthia blushed again, seeing her reaction Julianughed, Cynthia got conflicted by this and started to punch his chest, he didn''t stop her, he didn''t feel any pain. Julian "Do you want to go to work or spend the day with me?" He asked. Cynthia "Spend the day with you" Julian "Good, let''s get ready" He said and walked into the house with Cynthia. Chapter 445 - Hiding In The Underworld While Cynthia was wearing some spare clothes that were in the closet, Julian sat down in front of hisptop and searched for Gr, he has never heard about this region before and when Chloe said that pokemon grew huge in size surprised him. After hitting the keywords on the keyboard he finally saw the main website disying information about Gr, as he clicked the lick it took him to the main page which gave him the main information about Gr, after scrolling down a little, he saw a picture of a huge Pikachu and a group of people battling it, this Pikachu was engulfed in a purple light and there seem to be dark red clouds on top of the Pikachu''s head and above this huge Pikachu was a storm spinning. ?? Julian "God, Chloe wasn''t lying when she said, giant pokemons" He said. Cynthia "What are you looking at?" Cynthia came from behind and asked, she put her arms around his neck and ced her chin on his shoulder looking at hisptop screen. Cynthia "I have heard about this Gr region, pokemons be gigantic because of some mysterious energy, this mysterious energy is also the reason behind Gr being the only region which doesn''t use electricity as their main power source" She said. Julian "Why do you think, this mysterious energy cause the pokemon to be gigantic?" Cynthia "No idea, it''s still a mystery, maybe it is rted to their ancient history" Julian "What about the League, do they know anything about it?" Cynthia "Hehe, if the League knew I would also know about it but unfortunately they have no clue about it" Julian "And here I thought the League knew everything" Cynthia "Well, it''s not their fault, Gr is not under the League''s jurisdiction" Julian "Hmm?" Cynthia "Gr region is on another continent, the League have no power over them, they have their own system" Julian "Oh" He said and continued scrolling down, and saw a picture of a man who looks to be in his early or mid-twenties, he is wearing a ck shirt and white pants, and a red cape filled with all kinds of sponsors on it. Under the picture of this man is the title Champion, and his name Leon. Cynthia "I have heard about this Leon, his record is even as impressive as yours, he has never been defeated, he became the champion of his region at the age of 14 and till now he has not lost even one battle" She said. Julian "Oh, I would love to have a battle with him" He said. Cynthia "Maybe you will, one day" Julian "Hmm, Gr huh, there are still so many things to look around the world" He said. Cynthia "By the way, why are you looking into Gr?" Julian "Chloe said Daisy will be going there with her team for some work" Cynthia "I see" Julian then closes hisptop and get''s up and looks at Cynthia. Julian "Let''s go" He said and grabbed her hand and walked out of the house. Cynthia "Where are we going?" She asked. Julian "Somece where we can spend our time alone, away from the public eye" He said and took out his bike, after hopping on he rode off with Cynthia, the whole day he spent his time together with her, getting to know her even better, her likes and dislikes and everything that he needed to learn. After their date ended which took a whole day, they came back to the penthouse andid down on the bed. Julian "Maybe now it''s the time to talk about Cyrus" He said. Cynthia "Yes, Ipletely forgot about him" She said. Julian "Did your people find him?" Cynthia "Yes, but currently we cannot get our hands on him, he fled to the underworld and the League cannot take any chances to confront the underworld, they are as huge as the League itself, they have branches all over different regions, a war with them would bring down the financial state of the region down" She said. Jin "What if the League asks them to hand over Cyrus, even they wouldn''t want to a full-blown war, even they would suffer" Cynthia "No, that isn''t possible, Cyrus''s project is protected by the underworld and hispany even funds the underworld here in Sinnoh, Cyrus is a big shot in Sinnoh, his cooperation holds 30% shares of every market in Sinnoh and his fund to the Underworld is also huge, the Underworld is like a safe house to him, no one can touch him" Julian "Yes, this is definitely troubling, if we cannot touch him, we will just have to wait for him to surface again but I cannot just sit idle, he has Uxie, it may die if it doesn''t get back to its home, Lake Acuity" Cynthia "I understand, some of the League spies will try to get into the underworld and find the exact location of Cyrus and if they find him they will assassinate him" Julian "This n might fail" He said in a concerned voice. Cynthia "I know, but we don''t have any other options" Julian "How many members are nning to infiltrate?" Cynthia "Six" Julian "Make it seven" Cynthia "Wait? You can''t what if something happens to you, what will I answer to Chloe and Daisy, what will I do?" Julian "Don''t worry, nothing can happen to me, I have Gengar with me, he will always be my second pair of eyes and ears, with him around nothing can happen" He said. Cynthia thought about it and stayed silent for a few seconds before nodding her head. Julian "Thankyou" Cynthia "No, thank you for putting so much effort in saving my region" He just smiled and didn''t say anything. Chapter 446 - Growth Till Now Since it was already night Julian decided to call it a day, with Cynthia by his side they went to sleep, things are going to get a little chaotic, his life is already chaotic and he was about to enter the underworld to chase out Cyrus out of it so he can make his move. From what he heard from Cynthia, the Underworld is a powerhouse and he alone cannot take them on, he has powerful pokemons but they still have limitations, they cannot take on thousands of pokemon army single-handed, there is also the chances of hurting the innocents during these battle. ?? If all of his first pokemons team up to take down the underworld, it might be possible but their powers could destroy anything in their way. He cannot take chances, he has to be careful while doing this, he didn''t talk about it much to her, the spies won''t make a move for a while, so he has to wait, getting into the underworld in not easy, even though many people go to sell illegal stuff at the ck market of the underworld, that is all they can do. A normal person cannot find any information about anything that goes on in the underworld, they juste and buy/sell stuff that they need or have, the ones who need information have connections inside and Julian knows no one from inside, and the people in the underworld are not fools, they won''t just help some random person who they just met just because he could give them money. What is the use of money if they die soon after they get it, so people who had connections are very cautious about the people they meet and do business and since Julian has no connection he has to wait for these spies to be the bridge for him to get. He went to sleep. ____________________ Next morning was the same as yesterdays, he got up, took a bath made breakfast for both him and Cynthia, once she woke up she ate up her breakfast and both decided to leave, both of their destinations is Sunnyshore city, while Cynthia has to discuss about their next move with the League, Julian had to challenge the Sunnyshore gym. He didn''t just challenge the gym because he wants to participate in the leaguepetition, gyms were like polishing stones, he used these gyms to polish his pokemons battle instinct, gyms were always helpful, their main purpose was to guide young trainers to be better and stronger trainers for the future of their region, the ones who are gym leader now will not remain gym leaders forever, new and experienced trainers will take over them. These gyms were a perfect way to increase a pokemon''s battle instinct while they train and increase their power, some gyms always had limitations as the pokemon they have are too powerful for young trainers and the gym leader of the Sunny Shore gym is also the reason why it is always thest gym to get challenged. The gym leader of the Sunnyshore gym, Volkner is the most powerful gym leader of the Sinnoh region, his pokemons are very close to the Elite-Four level. Now Julian is about to enter the Underworld, his pokemons need to refine their battle instinct and Volkner is the perfect candidate for it, all of his Sinnoh pokemons have reached their final form. Crystal had fallen into a longa and didn''t develop during that time, but after it absorbed the magical orb from the mysterious cave, it became very powerful, but it still being a child in heart, it is always looking for mischief. Manaphy, Crystal''s best friend is also the same, once Crystal went to its long sleep, Manaphy started to train really hard so it could protect its vulnerable best friends. Garchomp has matured a lot, even though he has fun with his friends, when ites to training there is no one as serious as he is, he does twice the training as others in the group, after being one-shot by Tyranitar even after evolving, Garchomp realized how much of a gap was really there between him and his powerful senior, Tyranitar, and knowing that even his senior the mighty Tyranitar is nothingpared to Julian''s first batch of pokemon. Garchomp has seen, Electivire''s destructive lightning, Pidgeot''s sharp and destructive winds, Gengar''s control over his dimension and powers, Snox''s pure raw strength that could destroy mountains and Infernape''s mes that could burn anything that it touches, and there are still a lot of Julian''s pokemon Garchomp has not seen who are as powerful as Electivire and Pidgeot. Garchomp only had one dream, to stand on the top, be the most powerful Garchomp in existence. Victini, the third person of the mischief trio along with Crystal and Manaphy, it has also not cked off during the time, Crystal was in its deep sleep, along with Manaphy it trained a lot, Victini can now finally mega evolve, it became powerful enough to handle the energy from the Mega Stone that it received from Julian, it is also very close to learning its signature move ''V-create'', the most powerful fire type move said to exist from ancient history. Togekiss was just like other''s training harder and harder to master the control over her energy, she has refined it several times to make it more potent and powerful, she has be a tank that could easily take on the strongest Special Attacks, she has improved a lot during this time, her control over her powers is near a breakthrough. Rampardos has not beencking behind either, he has been training to increase his speed and power the whole time, due to his body, he doesn''t have high defense and he cannot improve it any further so he decided to be even better at what he is already good at, his insane Physical attacking power is already scary, now he wants tobine speed to it, he trained how to control his body while moving in high speed so that he doesn''t make any mistake while battling. Luxray has been training with his electrical powers, the things that Electivire thought him has helped him a lot, he even learned how to bend his lightning during its path so that his opponents can''t dodge no matter where they go. Lucario has been directly learning under Infernape, all the fighting styles that Julian has thought Infernape, he has passed it down to Lucario, Infernape is her teacher and their rtionship has been developing like a master and disciple, Lucario has the utmost respect for him as she has learned a lot after she learned how to fight from Infernape, Julian polished her up by teaching her how to use weapons and what weapon is useful for what kind of scenarios, Lucario became a weapon master in her own way, learning and developing her own style as she learned tobine different styles of weapons into one. Gliscor has notpletely mastered how to use his wings to glide forever, he has mastered the ways of flying, he can even outrun the fastest fliers if the winds are on his side and if they are not, he can easily dodge them, it is safe to say that it''s very hard tond a physical hit on Gliscor when he in on-air, but this doesn''t mean he hasn''t done any ground training, he has trained a lot, gaining control over his ground energy, being thest pokemon Julian caught in Sinnoh, he had it hardest then others to be powerful, he had a foundation but he had to ditch it and start new to perfect it and now he has proved himself and others that he is no pushover either. These nine monsters are Julian''s Sinnoh team, maybe his strongest team till now but they still have a long way to go before going face to face with their seniors. Chapter 447 - Professor Kukui Julian''s Sinnoh squad have be strong and now they need polishing, as Julian was quite busy these few days, he didn''t give them enough time to have training sessions and battle practice, now that he is heading to Sunyshore city he will help them sharpen their battle instinct by battling with the gym leader of the Sunyshore gym. He cannot use his old team while he goes undercover in the underworld so his current team needs to be good enough to take on strong opponents, and if he encounters some who are above his current team''s power, Gengar is always in his shadow to eliminate anyone without any notice. ?? Currently, both Cynthia and Julian area heading towards Sunyshore city, on the road they trained with each other and Julian gave her some tips about training and nutrition for her pokemons. At camp, Julian''s Garchomp tried to impress Cynthia''s Garchomp but she didn''t budge at all as she is stronger than him but Julian''s Garchomp is persistent. His team trained with Cynthia''s and had some mock battle, Cynthia was surprised by how good Julian''s pokemon were, even with the huge gap between the two teams they were still able to stand on their own. It has been quite a long time since Cynthia and Julian spent such a long time with each other before they were only doing it so that they could save Sinnoh, but now that they are dating they can''t get off each other. After traveling for days, they finally reached Sunyshore city, once they arrived there, they went their separate ways, both of them and things to do, Julian hase to this city once but he didn''t stay here for long, this city is the capital city of Sinnoh and the center of everything. Many of Sinnoh''s biggestpanies and corporations is situated in this city, being the center of everything, Sunyshore city is huge, a person can find anything in this city, they just need to search on the inte and there will be a shop or location of what they want. Julian decided to rest for the day so he quickly found a hotel and went to sleep, after hours of sleep, he got up and decided to look around the city, even though he is worried about what Cyrus is up to, he cannot just sit in one spot and keep thinking about it, his consciousness and mind needs rest and site seeing might help him. He put on his usual ck hoodie and ck mask and walked on the streets of Sunyshore city, he saw many things he didn''t see in other part''s of Sinnoh, the whole city ran on sr power, every house and buildings had sr panels on top of them, there were moving tiles on the street that were powered by sr energy as well, most of the people used these moving tiles to move around, the city is very advance. This is one of the most advanced city Julian has seen till this day, there were also a lot of street performers and with the help of their pokemons, they attracted a lot of crowds, the central area of the city is the most crowded part of the city and since it is the heart of the city it invited many weird people, but the public didn''t care. Everyone was busy with their own work, they didn''t have time to think about others, Julian continued beforeing across a science museum, finding it interesting he walked in to find lot of people around the ce, many concepts about different devices were being shown in the museum, to enter he had to buy a ticket but he also had to reveal his identity to get in, thankfully the person selling the tickets didn''t overreact, she just asked for his autograph quietly and let him enter. After entering he saw various design concepts that caught his interest, many genius minds of the world are here talking about their project. But the most interesting one that Julian found was presented by a man in his twenties, he is tall, brown skin, his hair is tied up into a bun at the back of his head and the rest is covered by a white hat, he is also wearing sses with green frame, the man is wearing no t-shirt, only an openb coat over his upper body. Seeing this man, Julian is intrigued, this person doesn''t care about the public opinion over his getup, he is just interested in talking about his project and research. There are many men and women around his tform listening to him talk about his project, next to the man''s tform is his name, Professor Kukui, he is researching on pokemon moves and how they work. Seeing this Julian nodded his head, even he wondered how pokemon moves actually work, like electric type moves, how can electric type moves damage an opponent when they are in the air. If he considered the logic from his previous world, for something or someone to get shocked, the electricity in their body has to circte to feel the electric current. He wondered a lot about it but finally gave up, this was a world with animal-like beings that to spit fire out of their mouth and destroy anything with power beams of different nature''s elements, he decided to let the experts figure this out like Professor Kukui who seems to be studying how and why a pokemon''s move react the way they do. He decided to listen to what Professor Kukui is doing so he joined the crowd. Chapter 448 - Move Based Project Kukui "Hello everyone, don''t mind my getup, My name is Kukui, I am a pokemon professor and I am researching about pokemon moves and how they use it, the science and magic behind it is very mysterious, even though we see pokemons use these moves over and over again, we don''t understand a thing about them, so I took this path, to find the secret behind their power and how they use it" He said and paused. ?? The crowd around his burst into apuse, they all were well-educated people and they knew how mysterious pokemons really were, even their normal lifestyle was a mystery in the past, it was because of years of research and observation of many pokemon professor and scientist that human started to understand pokemon and their power. Going further into learning how pokemon''s powers really worked is a lot harder, this is just a start of a journey, the study of pokemons and how they use their power is very vague and no hard theory is present till date. Kukui "I know that for us humans to really understand how pokemon really use their powers, it might take thousands of years before some super genius finally crack the code but for now, we are limited but I was able to make something after researching a particr move" He said andughed. The reporters who were in front quickly took down what he said because this might be useful, Professor Kukui is one of the very promising young pokemon professors of this generation so he is quite famous. Even Julian got curious about what Kukui is talking about, if he really found something through a pokemon''s move it might be huge. Reporter "Professor Kukui, what move is it, is this rted to what you will be showing off tonight?" A reporter asked. Kukui "I know all of you are curious about what my project is, what you just see behind me right now is just a dummy model of the machine, the working prototypes will be disyed tonight at the main event, so you all have to wait" He said and walked off the tform, some reporters took the picture of the dummy model of the machine on the tform, it looked like a huge cylinder but with lots of lines going through the other shell. Julian also wanted to know what is going on so he decided toe tonight, he continued walking around the museum and look at other things, after finding nothing he decided to walk out as nothing interested him anymore, he woulde here again at evening and look at Professor Kukui''s project. After he walked out he decided to go towards Sunyshore gym and see how the gym is like, after some time he reached there and he saw few trainers talking to each other, he didn''t want to talk to them but he was interested in their talk so he decided to eavesdrop on them. Trainer 1 "Who would have thought that the gym leader would just give us the badge without battling us" Trainer 2 "Who cares, we got a badge for free, I thought I would get destroyed as they say that the leader here is very strong, most trainers don''t make it to the leaguepetition is because they can''t defeat him, my luck is great, hahaha" Trainer 1 "Indeed, I went through many strategies, my whole team is made of ground type pokemons but, I still had no confidence in defeating him" Trainer 3 "Well, we got the badge, no need to worry about it anymore, I will be going them, meet you all at the league" The trainer said and walked away, the other two also left after saying their farewell, Julian, on the other hand, was surprised by what he heard. Julian ''Why would the gym leader just give away badges without battling the trainers, I didn''t expect this, let me go and see what is happening'' He thought and walked into the gym, the Sunyshore gym is hugepared to other gyms here in Sinnoh, the roof of the gym is covered with arge sr panel. As he walked in he was greeted by a healthy Raichu, seeing the Raichu he smiled and patted its head, he continued forward and heard something that caught his attention, it looked like someone just started a pokemon battle inside. Julian decided to go and see what is really going and soon appeared in front of the battlefield, he was surprised to see the two who are currently battling on top of the battlefield. It was Ash and Flint, the fire type Elite four, he saw other people inside as well, there were Brock and Dawn, there was an old man with white hair patches on the side. Next to this old man was another young man, he is wearing a blue jacket and yellow spiky hair, this was none other than Volkner, the gym leader of Sunyshore gym. Julian noticed something, Volkner was not interested in the battle that is going in front of him at all, his eyes are closed and he couldn''t seem to care less. Julian ''Interesting, well since I am here I might as well see how Ash fares up against Flint'' He thought and sat at the corner without being noticed by anyone, the battle started and Flint called out his Infernape and Ash called out his Buizel, it is clear that Ash made a good choice but it doesn''t matter here. His opponent is Flint, a more experienced trainer who is one of the Elite Four and he has brought out his ace so Julian is sure Ash is not gonna win this but he wants to see how far Ash has gotten, Julian nce at Buizel and nods his head, he could tell that Buizel is a strong one and it would be interesting to see how Ash handles this. Chapter 449 - Ash Vs Flint The battle was about to start and the whole room is filled with tension, Julian doesn''t know much about Flint and what he is like, he hasn''t even talked to him face to face, he also wondered how things ended up like this, Flint vs Ash, Julian has no idea how it came to be but he seems to have some rough idea. Julian looks at Volkner and thought about it. ?? Julian ''He seems to have given up, maybe Flint and Ash want to spark something? who knows, I wonder what Volkner and Flint''s rtion was, I don''t think an Elite four has time to y with anyone, well it might just be my spection'' He thought and continued watching. The battle started and Ash made his move, he asks Buizel to start off with a water gun but Flint''s Infernape is too fast for the Water Gun to hit it, It dodges the Water Gun easily, Ash doesn''t stop there and orders Buizel to charge with Aqua Jet. Buizel didn''t stop, this pokemon of Ash seems to be verypetitive, it charged towards Infernape with full speed as jets of water surrounded it, Buizel is fast but Flint''s Infernape is faster, it dodged the Aqua Jet but Ash didn''t stop he ordered Buizel to use Sonic Boom. Buizel stops its Aqua Jet in mid-air and does a fast turn using its tail to lunch a Sonic Boom, the attack heads directly towards Infernape. Seeing there is no way to escape this, Infernape blocks the Sonic Boom with its arms, the Sonic Boom sends Infernape to the ground but as the dust clears up the result is seen, Infernape has sessfully blocked by it, the metal-like te on its fist acted like armor that stopped the Sonic Boom. Ash "Buizel, Aqua Jet, once again" Buizel once again charges at Infernape using Aqua Jet, this time faster and stronger, seeing the attacking, Infernape didn''t want to hold back and neither did Flint. Flint "Use Mach Punch" To counter the Aqua Jet Infernape collected energy in its right fist and used a powerful straight punch at Buizel, the two collided and the result was obvious, Infernape floored Buizel, it''s Aqua Jet copsed and Buizel was sent flying, Buizel then did a backflip andnded on its leg''s again, Buizel looked shaken from that exchange, it didn''t expect to get shaken like this. Ash "Buizel stay focused" Buizel shook its head and got out of its state, during this time Flint could have easily taken advantage of this little thing but he didn''t. Ash "Let''s go once again, Aqua Jet" Buizel once again charged at Infernape. Flint "The same attack, you think you can take us out with that, Mach Punch" His Infernape once again used Mach Punch and got ready to hit, as they got closer, Ash made another move. Ash "Ice Beam" Buizel suddenly used Ice Beam inside the Aqua Jet freezing the water jet around him, seeing this both Infernape and Flint were surprised by this but they can''t make another move now, Infernape continued with Mach Punch. The fistnded and the ice shattered but Buizel who was inside wasn''t touched at all, the Ice was used as a shield, even Julian was impressed by this. Ash them followed up by calling a Sonic Boom. Buizel did a quick turn and sent a powerful Sonic Boom at Infernape, whichnded right on its stomach sending Infernape flying back. Infernape is very lightweight so an attack like this could easily send it flying, but the result is not clear until Infernape gets up, see if the Sonic Boom did any damage or not, Infernape get back to its feet and dust of the dirt from its coat, smoke ising off Infernape''s stomach, the attack hasnded and the caused the damage but Flint''s Infernape has taken hits way more powerful than this and stood up, Buizel''s Sonic Boom was not much. Flint "I am really impressed! If Infernape was not strong enough that would have been the end" He said. Ash "It''s not over yet, Buizel, Water Pulse, followed by Aqua Jet" As Ash gave themand, Buizel sent a Water Pulse at Infernape and soon followed behind it, it is a double attack. Flint "Yes it is, Infernape, re Blitz" His Infernape roared and the me on top of its head red up, its eyes started to burn brightly, its body got covered with bursting mes as it charged at Buizel, first Infernape came in contact with the Water Pulse and destroyed it, it then continued and shed with Buizel. The sh caused a huge boom, Buizel''s Aqua Jet shattered and Infernape ster Buizel to the air, Buizel crashed on the ground and got knocked out, it was over and Ash''s first pokemon is down. Julian ''Ash really has improved a lot, tond that powerful hit on Flint''s Infernape is really impressive and there is still a lot of time to improve before the league starts'' He thought. Flint "You are quite good" Ash "The battle is not over, go Infernape" Ash said and sent out his own Infernape. Volkner who was on the side is getting bored, he opens his eyes and looks at Flint and Ash. Volkner "This is useless, Flint, I don''t know what you are thinking" He said and closed his eyes again. Julian looked at Volkner and thought about what he said. Julian ''He really has given up on battling I guess'' Julian thought and sighed, if that was really the case, he won''t be getting the battle he wanted. Chapter 450 - Ash Vs Flint (2) With Ash''s first pokemon down, it is already clear to everyone that he is not going to win this battle no matter what he does, Flint''s Infernape is a lot stronger, it has still not used all its power, it has the strength to spare, it can continue this y for quite a long time and it won''t be tired at all. Now it is a battle between Ash and Flint''s Infernape, the battle started and both Infernape exchanged blows, it became clear as they start battling. ?? Flint''s Infernape is stronger, faster and more agile than Ash''s Infernape, this was an even worst match up than before, Flint''s Infernape knew how to bring down its own kind, Ash''s Infernape didn''tst for five minutes in the battlefield. After a Mach Punch right on its stomach, Ash''s Infernape got knocked out as it was sent flying and crashing against the wall. Another of Ash''s pokemon was down, this was a three on three battle and Ash is on a tough spot. Julian ''He should have not sent his Infernape to battle a more experienced one, too bad he is still very impulsive'' He thought and continued watching. Ash''s didn''t expect his Infernape to go down so easily, Infernape is one of his strongest pokemon with the most firepower but it was taken down very easily. Volkner who was watching this got fed up and decided to leave, this battle didn''t mean anything too him. Volkner "This is a waste of time, you didn''t have to do this, I am leaving" Saying so he got up and started walking, but he was stopped by Flint. Flint "Wait, this battle is still not over, as a friend I am asking you to stay" He said and stared at Volkner, both of them stared at each other, one trying to tell the other that this all is useless and the other wanting to prove that there is still more to this than the other party thinks. Volkner sighs and walks back to his and on his way, he notices the man in ck who has his face covered, he raised his brows and questioned himself to who this person is. He sat down and looked at the battlefield again, Ash sent his Infernape back to its Pokeball, he didn''t know what to do next but he cannot give up, it was his nature. A very stubborn nature to never give up, he turned around and looked at Pikachu who is standing behind him. Ash "Pikachu let''s do this" Pikachu "Pika, Pikachuuuuuu" He said and hyped up Ash and ran into the battlefield to face the powerful Infernape, seeing how motivated Ash and Pikachu were, even Volkner who was not paying attention to this battle before got a little intrigued, the battlefield suddenly got filled with a very different spirit. Volkner felt something was different about this round, the old man who is beside his smiled as well as he saw the current situation. This old man was a pokemon poacher in the past and not he works for Volkner. When Volkner was a young kid just like Ash, he was the same, his heart was filled with dedication to be a great pokemon trainer and Flint was his rival and best friend, both of them always came across the old man as he tried to steal their pokemon. He was just like the team rocket in Volkner and Flint''s past life and now he works for, after suffering several defeats he decided to change his life and start anew, now he is a proprietor and works as a server in Sunyshore cafe which is right next to the gym Seeing Ash the old man was reminded of the young Volkner and Flint, the old man thought of his past and sighed, he realized that so much time has passed, in his past, he was a very powerful pokemon poacher and now he is one of the most respected men in Sunyshoremunity and many peoplee to him for some advice. Proprietor "That young man, he reminds me of you, the same stubborn, never give up attitude" He said and looked at Volkner, Volkner ignored what the proprietor said and continued watching the battle, even though it seems that he doesn''t care about what the proprietor said but he was interested in seeing what Ash will do now. The battle started and Pikachu charged at Infernape with blinding speed, his speed has increased a lot, even Julian was surprised, with Ash''smand Pikachuunched a barrage of Quick Attacks on Infernape. Even Flint''s Infernape was not able to keep up with Pikachu''s speed and got hit by several Quick Attacks, but that didn''t mean the battle was over. Since he cannot pinpoint Pikachu''s direction of attack Flint decided to use an area attack. Flint "Heat Wave" Infernape roared and mmed its arms on the ground and released waves of heat from its body, the Heat Waves hit Pikachu and sent him flying back at very high speed, seeing Pikachu was in danger, Ash suddenly ran towards him calling his name in panic. Infernape overdid his attack, that Heat Wave was enough to take down an elite pokemon, even though Pikachu is fast, his defense is stillcking. Ash dived and caught Pikachu in mid-air, he looked at Pikachu in his arm and noticed that no serious damage has been done to him, he sighed in a release. Ash "Pikachu, you fine?" He asked so Pikachu nodded his head and jumped out of his arm and stared at Infernape as electricity sparkled over his cheeks. When Volkner saw this, he felt something again, seeing Ash trying to protect Pikachu without thinking about anything really inspired him, he realized that he was also the same, passionate about pokemon battle with his partner. Chasing after his dream of bing the strongest gym leader and finally achieving it, he was really happy, but soon things started to pale off, the desire to battle burned away as no opponent he battled excited him anymore, he was over it. The same old thing happened, again and again, trainers came and challenged him but everyone failed to defeat him, some came again after learning something but most of them were once again defeated, only few could defeat him in their second try, most of them seeded on their third try. Volkner was bored, not able to experience the battles he dreamt for, the trainers that challenged him were all disappointing. But now he felt something different when he saw Ash. Volkner ''Maybe, he is something special'' He thought and continued watching, the battle continued and several blows were exchanged, with Pikachu''s speed and power behind his Iron Tail, the exchange started to grow stronger between Infernape and Pikachu. Infernape used a barrage of Mach Punch which were countered by Pikachu using Iron Tail, this battle could be said at the level of elite four as well, the battlefield is aplete wreak, cracks everywhere, burn marks left by Pikachu''s Electricity and Infernape''s mes. Even Flint and Ash forgot about why they are battling, they were just focused on their battle, same could be said for Julian as well, this kind of battle was hard toe by, even Crystal who was sleeping popped its head out to watch the battle with excitement in its eyes. It was time to end the battle so Ash and Flint made their final move, Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Infernape sued re Blitz, both shed and caused the whole room to go white before a loud bang was heard, shockwaves of wind blew out of the surrounding, small stones and dust were sent flying covering the whole battlefield. Once the light faded, everyone is on the edge of their seats to know the result, as the dust cleared by they saw Infernape still standing but it is paralyzed, sparks of electricity were crackling around its body causing it to feel numb all over its body. On the other hand, Pikachu is on the ground knocked out, Pikachu lost, seeing the result everyone is still silent, thisst match was something different. Julian ''That Volt Tackle, was really special'' He thought and smiled, he didn''t expect Ash and Pikachu to grow this much, to render a pokemon trained under an Elite Four to feelpletely numb all over its body is no easy task but Ash and Pikachu stilled pulled it off. Chapter 451 - Meeting Professor Oak Again The battle came to an end, Ash lost all of his pokemon and Flint''s Infernape is in a state of paralysis as its body has gone numb. Flint "Wow, that was a great battle, I didn''t expect your Pikachu would be this strong" ?? He said andughed, he looked at his Infernape and smiled. Flint "Looks like we need to go to the pokemon center and fix you huh? Buddy" He said to his Infernape, his Infernape struggled and turned around and nodded at Flint, Ash rushed towards Pikachu and picked him up in his arm. Ash "Pikachu you were awesome" He said and rubbed off the dust on his cheeks, Pikachu slowly opened his eyes and licked Ash''s finger. Ash "Looks like you are fine" He said and got up and looked at Flint. Ash "Flint, thank you for the battle, it was awesome" Flint "I should thank you, it''s been quite long since I had this much fun during a battle, what do you say Volkner?" He said and looked at his friend and rival Volkner, Volkner looked at Ash, as they eyes met Ash knew he was going to get a battle that he wanted. When he heard that the gym leader was giving away the badges for free he got furious and stormed off to confront Volkner, that is when he met Flint. Flint exined to Ash why Volkner is in his current state, so Flint and Ash decided to rekindle the spark inside Volkner through their battle and it looks like it worked. Volkner "Ash right? You got your battle,e tomorrow after you pokemon arepletely rested, I will be waiting" He said and walked away with the Proprietor, Julian also made a silent escape without being noticed by anyone, he came here to see how the gym leader really is but when he saw that Volkner haspletely given up on his role as a gym leader he felt disappointed. Luckily Ash was also in the city and with his mentality, he wouldn''t have let this pass and he did what he is best at, bringing out the best out of other people. Volkner was the same, he had given up but after witnessing Ash he was reminded of his own past, the past in which he was the same, stubborn, battle crazy trainer just like Ash. Now that Volkner seems to be back to his usual self, Julian might get the battle he wanted, from what he has heard Volkner is really strong, his team consists of Jolteon, Luxray, Raichu, and Electivire. These four are very close to the Elite-four level so defeating them, one needs to have a clear type advantage, a perfect battle strategy, and field awareness, without these there is no chance of winning. Or one could bring a pokemon of higher level and defeat him. After walking out of the gym, Julian decided to head towards the museum as Professor Kukui will be giving his presentation about his project soon. It''s already evening so Julian didn''t waste any time going around the city, he directly headed towards the museum where the event is currently being held, once he got there he had to buy a ticket again, luckily it was the same person as before and let him enter without causing muchmotion. As he walked in he saw a lot of people inside, the crowd is even bigger than the one in the morning, every corner is filled with people, most of them are enthusiasts who love technology, Julian continued forward and saw someone familiar, it was Volkner. He seems to be looking at some device and didn''t mind the people around him, he is lost in his own thoughts. Julian ''Looks like he is an enthusiast as well'' He thought and walked passed him, soon he arrived at the top floor where the seminar will be held, he saw a lot of scientist and pokemon professors on this floor, most of them are talking about their research and exchanged pointers that are useful to them. Julian looked around and saw a few more familiar faces in the crowd, it was Professor Oak, he didn''t expect Professor Oak to be here as well, he walked towards him and called him. Julian "Professor Oak" He said and patted his shoulder, Professor Oak turned around and saw a man in a ck dress and a cloth mask covering his face, seeing his Professor Oak realized who it is. Oak "Julian, what are you doing here?" Julian "I was interested in Professor Kukui''s project so I came to see it" Oak "Ah, I see, that kid''s project is indeed revolutionary, this will change the course of humanity if his project get mass-produced" Professor Oak said and nodded his head, he had a proud smile on his face as if he was involved in the project as well. Julian "Do you know what it is?" Oak "Of course I know what it is, I helped him a little when he came to ask some doubts, he has been working on this project for more than four years and now he has finally produced a working prototype" Julian "Do you know what it is?" He asked and raised his brows, he got more curious about this project now, to change the course of humanity, what could it be? Oak "I cannot tell you, but I can introduce you to that kid Kukui" Professor Oakughed and pped Julian''s back and dragged him towards Professor Kukui who is surrounded by pokemon professors, researchers and other people who are interested in his project. Well, he was not the only one who was in this kind of situation, other scientists and professors who were about to present their projects were also going through the same thing. Seeing Professor Oak walking towards him Professor Kukui excused himself from the crowd and walked towards him. Chapter 452 - A New Friend? Kukui walked towards Professor Oak and greeted him with a smile. Kukui "Professor Oak, it''s all thanks to you I was able toplete my research and finish my project" ?? He said andughed shaking Professor Oak''s hand violently. Professor Oak struggled to release his hand from Kukui''s grip but it was useless, he is an old man with weak bones, there is no way he can get away from the muscr young man in front of him. Oak "Kid Kukui, that''s enough, you are going to break my arm" He said in a hurtful tone. Kukui "Oh, hahaha, sorry, sorry, I didn''t notice" Heughed embarrassed and let go of Professor Oak''s hand, Professor Oak grabbed his arm which is hurting, he decided to forget about it, this Kukui was impulsive from a young age, he couldn''t do anything. Oak "Kukui, this young man next to me is a very important person, you should get familiar with him" Oak said and pointed at Julian. Kukui looked at the one who Professor Oak pointed at, he saw a man in ck dress fully covered, even his face is covered by a cloth mask, there is no way someone could identify a person with this kind of getup. Kukui "Professor Oak, who is this Mister?" He asked curiously as he looked at the man in ck as his eyes are wide open. Oak "This is none other than Julian, the undefeated previous champion of Kanto, and Julian this is Kukui, he is my cousin''s best student from Al Inds" Professor Oak introduced both of them with a low voice so that he doesn''t alert others, realizing who the person in front of him was, Kukui was in awe, he has heard about Julian so much, he has seen his every pokemon battle and he was especially impressed by how good Julian''s pokemons are able to use their power. When Kukui saw Julian''s pokemon using moves, he could see the difference in those moves from the start, he was really in awe behind the power of those moves, and now that person who trained those pokemons is right in front of him. Kukui quickly extended his hand and greeted Julian. Kukui "It''s an honor to meet you, Mister Julian, I am in awe at the sight of your pokemons moves" Professor Kukui said. It was a very odd thing to say when greeting someone but Julian didn''t mind, he understood Kukui, this person in front of him is obsessed with pokemon and their moves, so he gives top priority to a pokemon''s move than the person who trained that pokemon. Julian "It''s a pleasure to meet you as well, Professor Kukui, I am eager to see what your research has led you too" Julian said and shook his hand. Kukui "I am ttered that you are interested in my research" He said andughed, he was also embarrassed at the same time, a man like Julian was on top of this world and for such a person to take interest in his project, he felt as if he was honored" Julian "I am also someone who is fascinated by pokemons and how they use their powers. When I heard that your project is rted to a certain move, my interest was peaked so I hope I can see it sooner" He said and chuckled. Kukui "I see, you are indeed an intellectual just like me, hahaha, no wonder you are undefeated and able to bring out the true power behind a pokemon''s move" Kukui praised him, hearing this Julianughed awkwardly, he didn''t know what to say, this Kukui was really passionate when it came to pokemon moves. Kukui "Mister Julian, please take a seat, the even is about to start, you don''t want to miss the others as well, their project is as good as mine or even better" He said and asked Julian to take a seat. Julian "Just call me Julian" He said, he felt Kukui is a great man and having a friend like this is good, in this world Julian has no friends, only acquaintances, so Kukui might be his friend, so he told him to not bother with any titles or honorific when calling his name Kukui "Then you can call me Kukui" Kukui said andughed. Julian "Ok then, Kukui" Oak "Juliane, let''s sit down, the event is about to start" Professor Oak said and asked him to take a seat, Julian agreed and joined Professor Oak in the audience seat. Julian "By the way Professor Oak, how are my pokemons doing?" He asked. He was worried about them, even though the pokemon area outside Professor Oak''sb is huge, it''s still too small for them, Pidgeot might be the only one free enough as he has no limit as he can fly. Oak "They are doing fine, they all help me a lot, without them, many fights could have broken between different species of pokemons" Julian "I see" He said and nodded. Oak "Look, it is about the start" Professor Oak said as his voice is filled with excitement, the lights dim down as the huge white screen in front of them starts to disy the words ''WORLD ANNUAL SCIENCE MEETING''. Chapter 453 - Event Begins The event began as all lights dim down, the only thing that lit the room was the light being reflected from the projected screen. It started with an introduction form a beautiful young woman who weed some special guests, after that the first professor gave his presentation, it was long but very informative, even Julian learned some stuff that he had no idea about. ?? This went on in this fashion, different professors and scientist came to the tform and gave their presentation, it was a very long event but each and everyone in this room didn''t fall asleep at all, as they are all enthusiasts who love pokemon and science. Julian didn''t mind this long event at all, he is also just like them, wanting to learn more about pokemon, this world is huge and even the people who have lived here for such a long time haven''t discovered everything here. Pokemon Professors estimate that there are many pokemon species that have not been discovered and are waiting for them to surface so they can research on them, the idea of Fossil resurrection was also a huge concept in the past and now it is possible. Things rted to Pokemon is always fascinating to Julian, he had to wait but it didn''t matter, he got to learn a lot from this. After a lot of waiting he finally saw Kukui walking up to the stage, behind him few backstage crew members dragged in two machines that looked like a capsule inside a metallic cylinder. Kukui stood in front of the mic and looked at the audience. Kukui "Ok, let''s start, I will introduce myself, I am Professor Kukui and I research with pokemon moves since I was a child I was fascinated by pokemons and how they produce their elemental powers and use their moves. Ie from Al so few of you should be familiar with this?" Kukui said and raised his hand to show a wrist band on his wrist and the wrist band had a red stone embedded on it. Kukui "Yes, this is a Z-Crystal, these Crystal are unique to Al, when I saw them in action, seeing how these crystals could convert any pokemons moves into an even stronger move made me want to learn about pokemons and their moves, even more, I embarked on this path for a very young age and now I am here with the result of all my research till now" He said with a proud smile on his face, reporters are busy taking pictures on him while the other people in the room are either talking about his research and anticipating what it could be or about the Z-Crystals. Z-Crystals were as rare as Mega Stones in this world, Z-Crystal could only be found in Al Inds and most of these Crystals were actually protected by pokemons that seemed to have gone under some kind of weird powerup which made them giganticpared to their own species. Not many could get all the Z-Crystals as they were scattered around Al protected by fierce and powerful giant pokemons. Even Julian wanted one but when he imagined himself doing that weird dance to power it up, he felt chills down his spine and cringed. Julian ''Even if I stumble upon one of these Z-Crystals today, I won''t use it no matter what'' He thought about it with determination. Oak "These Z-Crystals are really mysterious, they can be only found in Al because of the mysterious energy present in the Inds, their legends say that a pokemon from another world saved it from eternal darkness by spreading its light" Oak said and exined the myth behind the Z-Crystal. Julian "A Pokemon from another world?" He asked as he got curious about it, he still hasn''t seen his own world and now there seems to be another world as well. Oak "Who knows? It could just be a false myth, it was said to have happened thousands of years ago and with the existence of Z-Crystals that can only be found in Al, this Myth is believed to be true by many but no certain evidence to prove it, same could be said for the creation trio as well, their stories are just myths" He said fascinated by the myth as well, since being a pokemon professor he couldn''t miss such a good chance to talk about them. Julian "I see" He said and continued listening to Kukui, he didn''t want to tell Professor Oak about his experience with Dialga and Palkia, he knew if he told Professor Oak about their existence he would start amotion. Even though Ash was also present on that day, Julian knew Ash wouldn''t talk about it, it was too easy-going, once things happened, he wouldpletely forget about it. Kukui "All of you may be thinking what move is my research-based on? Well, let me demonstrate it to you" He said and walked towards one of the prototypes, he looked at his assistant and signaled him to turn the machine on and get in, his assistant nodded and turned the prototype on and walked into the capsule. Chapter 454 - Most Searched Kukui''s Assistant stood inside a capsule and waited for Kukui to do his magic, Kukui started to do something on the digital tab on the cylindrical machine, his other assistant turned on the other prototype as well, once he was done. The capsule in which the assistant was in started to glow and just seconds behind it, the other capsule also started to glow, ones the glow faded away everyone inside the room were shocked, they couldn''t believe their eyes, few of the people who helped Professor Kukui in this project were proud of the result as well and nodded their head in appreciation. ?? Julian "Professor Oak, I didn''t think this was possible at all" Julian eximed in surprise. Oak "Well everyone thought it was not possible but thatd didn''t give up, after finding the theory he continued till he seeded" Julian "Teleportation, who would have thought that it would be possible one day" He said and looked at Kukui who had a proud smile on his face as he watched the people react to his hard-worked project. Oak "Indeed, transporting Pokeballs was already a huge discovery but it was only possible due to the special wood it is made off, they tried to apply the same logic for teleportation as well but it failed but now thisd Kukui found the correct form after studying how some pokemons teleport from once ce to another" Oak exined enthusiastically as he looked at the two teleportation prototypes, this was a huge discovery for mankind, now anyone could travel anywhere in the world, once these devices are installed in all the cities around different regions, life would be much easy. Kukui "Now that all of you have seen my project you all should know which pokemon move it is based on, yes, its teleportation. I have been researching on teleportation for a long time and now finally found the form for teleportation, when I started researching on teleportation is tried to find the changes in the surroundings where they teleport and I finally found it, quantum entanglement, when they teleport the quantum entanglementes in y to transfer their body from one ce to another. After I found this I asked several scientists who were experts in this field to help meplete my project and not it is in front of your eyes, a fully working version" He said and stopped. The room burst into loud apuse and cheered for him, this is a huge discovery, next step to a more advanced future of the human kind. Kukui "Well this project still has some ws, the fuel to run this device is very expensive making it not easy for locals to use this on an everyday basis" He said and sighed, the energy teleportation used was massive, the amount of energy that is used for single teleportation could run a house with a hundred light bulbs for months. It was expensive but the project is the first sess for humans to teleport, it is big and several news channels are already trying to post these findings on their website. The event continued once Professor Kukui was done with his presentation, the event ended at 2 AM in the midnight. Julian was surprised by how no one cared about the time right now, their people are used to pulling an all nighter that 2 AM didn''t sound toote to them at all. Julian bid farewell to Kukui and Professor Oak and returned to his hotel room, tomorrow will be a big day for the world as many news outlets will post the news about Professor Kukui and his brilliant invention, the teleportation device. Since it was alreadyte night Julian directly went to sleep after cing the sleeping Crystal on the side. Next morning he woke up prettyte, he took and bath, ate his breakfast and sat down in front of the tv right at 12 PM, as he turned in on and switched it to any news outlet, they talked about Professor Kukui and his invention. Overnight he became the most searched person in the world because of his invention, people had never expected that they would see a day where human teleportation was possible. Julian "Look at him,ughing like an idiot" He said and smiled as he saw Kukui being interviewed by news reporters, on his right is Professor Oak and one his left is a very famous scientist, they both had helped Kukui a lot so they also received some praise. Julian had nothing to do right now, he then remembered that Volkner will be battling Ash today. Julian "Since I have nothing else to do, I might just see how good this Volkner really is, I have heard about him rivaling even Byron when ites to battling but Volkner''s pokemon edge him in pure firepower making him more powerful" He said and got out of his room and headed straight to the gym. Julian ''If I am right, they should have started or will start their battle any time now'' He thought and fastened his steps. Chapter 455 - Choosing A Team Julian arrived at Sunyshore gym once again and as he expected the battle between Ash and Volkner had already begun, when he walked in he realized that the battle was already about to end, both Ash and Volkner are at their final pokemon. While Ash is battling along with his Pikachu, Volkner has his partner Raichu, the battle was about to end. ?? Julian ''I didn''t expect the battle was about to end so early'' He thought and sat down and watched the battle, after using severalbinations and counter-attacks against Volkner''s Raichu Ash''s Pikachu finally got the win earning himself his eight badges, now he can participate in the uing league. Even though the league is still not near, it''s better to finish all the gym challenges so he can train for the league and grow even stronger. Julian remembers that there will be a very strong opponent during the league, its been a very long time since Julian watched pokemon in his previous world, everything was hazy but there are few key things he still remembers, such as some of the legendary pokemons, and some main characters that were rted to the story in some way that impacted the story a lot. Julian ''I wonder how strong he will be once the league starts. If I remember correctly, there should be a trainer who has a Darkrai with him, I wonder how strong he ispared to Cynthia and the others, I wonder'' Julian thought, he had remembered watching a man with Darkrai who had dominated the whole league along with his Darkrai, it was only Ash who was able to take it down which led to that man revealing his second pokemon and that too was a legendary pokemon, Latios. Julian has never fought a trainer with a legendary pokemon so he is a little excited to meet this man. But before he does that he needs to defeat Volkner, destroy Cyrus and rescue Uxie, he felt helpless when it came to Cyrus, this man had many connections and has easily escaped. While Julian is influential he doesn''t have connections like Cyrus, he has money and strength to challenge anyone but connections were the only thing he wascking. The reason behind this is because he doesn''t stay in a single ce for a long time, to make connections he needs to settle down and slowly build rtions with the influential people of this world. Julian saw Volkner handing over a badge to Ash, Ash soon left with his friends, they didn''t even notice Julian because he didn''t stand out, he was at the corner watching the battle carefully, but it didn''t mean he has gone unnoticed, Volkner noticed Julian sitting at the corner. He has been handling this gym for years so he got an awareness of everything that happened here. Volkner raised his brows as he looked at Julian in surprise, he had seen this person yesterday, he was watching Ash and Flint battle, Volkner didn''t mind it yesterday as anybody was free to see a battle being held in a gym. Not many peoplee twice a day to watch someone battle, so Volkner thought that this man might be a challenger as well and he was right, once Ash left Volkner saw the man looking at him. Volkner "Are you a challenger as well?" He asked. Julian "I am, can you continue or should Ie tomorrow?" He asked. Since Volkner has already battled Ash, his pokemons would be weak and not in great condition. Volkner "I would prefer for you toe tomorrow, my pokemons need rest" Volkner said and apologized. He was not used to trainers challenging him one after the other so he asked Julian toe tomorrow, with his reputation, not man trainers came to challenge him, most of them would give up in the middle when challenging the gyms. The ones who challenged him were ace trainers who understood pokemon battles and these types of trainers were very little. This can be proven by the number of people that participate in the pokemon league, in a huge region like Sinnoh only a few hundred trainers are finally qualified to participate in the league out of the thousands that started their journey, some give up in the middle of their journey and some find other interests like pokemon contests, bing pokemon doctors, breeders and any other upation that is rted to pokemons. Julian decided toe tomorrow as he understood Volkner, trainers like Volkner are young so they don''t have extra pokemons they could use during gym challenges, any trainers who want to challenge him right after he had a battle will have to wait. Julian "I wille tomorrow again, I hope I can get a battle I am looking for" Julian said and left without looking back. Volkner "What does he mean by that, but he sounds very confident, Ash was a strong opponent and my pokemons are in bad condition right now or I would have allowed him to battle me, looks like I have to wait as well" He said and looked at Julian who just walked out of his gym. Volkner "I have a feeling that tomorrow''s battle will be a big one, I have to prepare a strong team" He said and walked away as well, for some reason he felt pressured in front of Julian, this feeling he hasn''t felt for ages had finallye back and he wanted to see how strong this man really is. Julian went to the nearest pokemon park and called out his pokemons since he is going to have them battle tomorrow they should warm-up. Julian "All of you, have a mock battle with your partners and limit yourself, this is public property" Julian said and took a seat on a bench nearby and watched him pokemon battle each other, they didn''t use any powerful moves in their exchange. Julian ''Who should I use tomorrow?'' He thought and racked up his brain, the most experienced fighter in his team is his Garchomp followed by Victini, Manaphy, and Crystal, Crystal being forth because it is busy being mischievous and attacking itself to Julian every second of the day. Julian ''I think Togekiss, Luxray, and Gliscor will do, they need the most experienced, this battle will do, once this is done I will have some extra time to polish them as well'' He thought and nodded his head in satisfaction. Chapter 456 - In A Pinch Another day has passed and Julian went to Volkner''s gym once again and this time he is here to battle, not to just watch,st time he was here he only saw the ending part of the battle where both Volkner''s Raichu and Ash''s Pikachu seemed exhausted from battling hard. He has a rough estimation of his opponent''s strength but that won''t help him, but he is confident in winning this because his pokemons are stronger and faster, they need real-life battle training against opponents they haven''t faced before. ?? Battling with their partners daily has improved their battle awareness a lot but they have also gotten used to each other battle style, so they can anticipate each other move before they can make it and they sessfully do it 60 to 70 percent of the time, the remaining 30 percent of the battle they can''t predict leads to their defeat or injury. This is also one of the reasons why Julian challenges different gyms, his pokemon need to experience all kind of battle, new opponents put them in a different situation, not the same one over and over again when they are battling one of their own. At the level which Julian is at, he doesn''t need to challenge any gyms or participate in a league but as he keeps traveling he needs a purpose to do so and raising new pokemon is always a challenge, no matter how many times he does it over, he will encounter pokemonspletely different in character from his previous branch and once he starts to train them he needs to hone their skills so the only way he can do that is gym battles and leagues, during the time his pokemons will encounter the best trainers for them to grow, making their future even better. Once they are strong enough they can do whatever they wish, to Julian his pokemon are like his children in a way, to see them grow healthy and strong is the only thing he wishes for them. Today''s battle will be big as well, he is facing Volkner, once said to be a prodigy, many thought he would be the champion of Sinnoh, having a rivalry with Flint and Cynthia made him grow even stronger, but unlike those two Volkner had other interests as well, bing a gym leader just like his father and also a technology geek, he is fascinated by technologies, so he strayed from the path of bing a champion. If he had not he would have definitely been a part of the elite four. When Julian walked into the gym he saw the old man who was there with Volkner when Flint and Ash had their battle. Proprietor "You must be the challenger that Young Volkner is waiting for?" He asked as he tried to evaluate the young man in front of him, he had no idea how old is Julian but see his height and posture he figured that Julian would be young just like Volkner. Julian "Yes, I cam to challenge the gym leader" He said. Proprietor "Then go in young man, Volkner is waiting, it''s been long since he had a good battle so try not disappointing him" The Proprietor said and walked away, Julian just watched him go as he didn''t know what to say, it looks like the Proprietor is really confident in Volkner''s ability to defeat him, well Julian didn''t mind it at all, the old man doesn''t know who he is and if he did it would be troublesome. Julian doesn''t want his opponents to feel pressured just because of his identity, he walked into the battlefield and saw Volkner already waiting for him. Volkner "You havee, I have been anticipating you, I hope this battle is not easy for me" He said and took out a Pokeball. Julian "I too want a serious battle, my pokemons need to grow, the best way is to put them against a strong opponent" He said and took out his Pokeball as well, the Proprietor walked out from the referee chamber and stood in the middle of the battlefield and acted as the referee. Proprietor "This will be a four on four pokemon battle, the rules are the same, only the challenger is allowed to switch his pokemon during the battle, the person with no pokemon left at the end of the battle loses, are both trainers ready?" The Proprietor asked and looked at Julian and Volkner, both of them agreed and the Proprietor started the battle with the wave of his hand. Volkner "Jolteon, let''s go" Volkner shouted and threw his Pokeball sending out his Jolteon, Julian looked at the Jolteon and knew that this will be a fast one and with its ability Volt Absorb, electric type attacks are useless, it will even heal Jolteon and give it extra energy to battle. Julian "Luxray, let''s go" He said and sent out his Luxray, seeing Julian''s choice both Volkner and the Proprietor are surprised, Luxray is a pure electric type and its electric types would have zero effects on Jolteon, so both of them wondered what this challenger in ck is up to? Julian''s Luxray''s ability is Rivalry which increases the effect of his attacks on the same gender that is male, seeing Jolteon is a female his ability was useless as well, this will be a very interesting battle for Luxray. Luxray''s main powers are his electric maniption so if they lose their effectiveness what will he do, Jolteon was the perfect training partner for Luxray. Julian "Luxray get ready, this is no easy battle, your electric attacks won''t work" Julian said and warned Luxray, hearing this Luxray nodded his head and looked at Jolteon as his eyes glowed yellow, he is trying to intimidate Jolteon so weaken her spirit. Luxray''s Electric attacks are very powerful, he has inherited everything Electivire knows about channeling electricity, Luxray can knock out pokemons which are even resistant to electric type attacks with his electric type attacks, so with the main source of his power being useless Luxray is already in a pinch and his ability not having any effect made it even harder but that is what Julian wants. He wants Luxray to face the hardest battle he could have. Chapter 457 - Predator Luxray knew that this battle is not easy, he can only use his other attacks, they are not as strong as his electric type attacks but they will be able to do damage, Jolteon is just immune to Electric-type attacks, not others. Luxray knew Julian is testing him, without his electricity what will he do? ?? Volkner "Are you underestimating me? using a pokemon who is clearly at a disadvantage?" Volkner asked curiously, he wanted to know what his opponent is nning. Julian "I never underestimate my opponents, It''s just that I am purposely making it harder for Luxray, he needs to learn, everything is not always easygoing, there will be ups and downs, the only way to grow stronger is to face the hardship is straight on" Julian said and smiled under his mask, he is confident in Luxray''s ability, there is no way he is going to lose, Luxray has never let him down and today will also be the same, he will return triumph. Volkner "I see, then I won''t be holding back at all, Jolteon, let''s do this Quick Attack" Volkner ordered his Jolteon charged at Luxray at a very fast phase, Jolteon''s speed is blinding, being the fastest evolution of an Eevee, her speed was no joke, it was a blur and Jolteonnded a sessful hit on Luxray sending him back, his leg''s dragged on the ground but he didn''t lose his footing, his ws are stronger than steel, he dug them on the ground and stopped himself from going any further. Jolteon stopped and jumped back keeping a distance from Luxray. Julian "Indeed a speedy one but that won''t do, Luxray Night sh" Luxray charged at Jolteon like a predator, his eyes glowed with the instinct to battle, his ws came out of his paw revealing their hidden sharpness, each w was longer than 5 cm, all of them glowed with dark energy ready to rip apart anything that it touched. Seeing the powerful attacking towards her, Jolteon moved at High Speed dodging it easily, her Speed was really something, as she escaped from the Night sh the victim of this move was the ground, deep long cuts formed on the battlefield as Luxraynded on his feet. Seeing the power of the attack Jolteon felt pressured, this is a power that it cannot withstand, one attack like this on its light, slim body and it''s over, it will be a one-hit KO. The only thing that will help her in this battle is her Speed, seeing the power behind Luxray even Volkner knew he has to be wary of it, he cannot afford a direct hit from that Luxray, the problem was that Jolteon only Special Attacks are her electric type attacks, Luxray being Electric-type is resistant to them, he build is strong and with his expertise over Electric-type attacks he doesn''t have much to fear from Electric-type attacks, they will hurt but not enough to knock him out, it would be embarrassing if he faints from an electric type attacks. Do deal powerful damage on Luxray, Jolteon has to get close and that is a risk. Volkner "Jolteon, Quick Attack, once again" Volkner ordered his Jolteon for another Quick Attack and so she did, with blinding speed her body looked like a lightning strike that charged towards Luxray. Julian "Protect" Just before Jolteon was about to hit Luxray again, he used Protect and blocked her attack, Jolteon crashed against a hard barrier and was sent rolling back on the ground, Jolteon was hurt a little from that bacsh. Julian "Agility" Behind the barrier, Luxray used Agility to increase his speed but he didn''t stop with one, he kept on going, using Agility again and again. Seeing this Volkner knew it will be troublesome if Luxray''s speed increased. Volkner "Jolteon destroy the barrier, use Thunderbolt" Jolteon used Thunderbolt, a powerful one, trying to destroy the barrier protecting Luxray, the Thunderbolt started to crack from the onught and finally shattered, the Thunderbolt passed the barrier of the Protect andnded on Luxray shocking him hard but Luxray stood on his stop as his ws dug into the ground. He stood there taking the Thunderbolt like nothing, the thunderbolt seemed to have no effect on Luxray, even though his whole body is going to the jolting shock he stood there, once the attack was over Luxray could be seen. Smoke rose from his body as the heat from the Thunderbolt dissipated. Julian "Night sh once again" Julian gave themand and Luxray moved, his speed faster than ever nor rivaling Jolteon''s speed, Jolteon skillfully dodged the Night shes but it wasn''t over, a barrage of Night sh continued, it got harder for Jolteon to dodge, Luxray''s speed matched her after the use of all that Agility. But it didn''t mean Jolteon was easy to catch, as she escaped she countered with Swift after being ordered by Volkner. Those Swifts were countered by the Night shes, seeing that the battle would just be a game of cat and mouse, with no oneing on the top, Luxray will be on the attack and Jolteon will be dodging with her speed. Julian "Thunderbolt on the ground" Luxray suddenly used Thunderbolt, a powerful one, so powerful that it even caused Jolteon to back off even though she ispletely immune to it, it was the power behind the Thunderbolt that was shocking, as Jolteon dodged the Thunderbolt, itnded on the groundpletely destroying the ground and caused the whole battlefield to be filled with dust. It blinded Jolteon but not Luxray, Luxrays are predators of the dark, their eyes could see past thick walls let alone a dust cloud. Julian "Finish it, Crunch" As Luxray pinpointed Jolteon''s location in the mid of the dust cloud, he leaped on her with his spark fangs glowing, a big dark jaw appeared in front of him, the jaw mmed shut right on Jolteon catching her by surprise, the jaw exploded and Jolteon is sent shooting out of the dust cloud. Jolteon crashed on the ground, knocked out. This battled went as Julian had expected since Luxray couldn''t use his Electric to hit his target, that doesn''t mean he can''t use it as a distraction and with the help of his natural abilities like his ability to spot anything behind a wall, he became a predator that could hunt anything. Luxray learned about being a Predator that could hunt in the dark, where most pokemons struggle, Luxray thrived. Chapter 458 - Fierce Gliscor Luxray lived up to Julian''s expectation, yes, he was the one giving the orders but Luxray was the one who had the learning experience, he learned not to only rely on his strongest assets but also his other abilities. The first battle is over Luxray took the victory with his raw power and superior abilities. ?? Proprietor "Jolteon is unable to battle, Luxray wins" The Proprietor called the result. Volkner "Wow, I didn''t expect that but this battle is not over, Raichu you are up" Volkner didn''t give up, Jolteon was his weakest pokemon, her speed was the only thing that put her above her opponents and that was enough for her, her Special Attacks were above average which dealt decent damage. Now Volkner sent his Raichu, this Raichu was his first-ever pokemon, it was a Pikachu in the past and now it''s a powerful Raichu. This one is a male so Luxray''s attack would deal double the damage on it, Julian decided not to continue with Luxray and sent him back to his Pokeball so he can rest. Julian decided to send his Gliscor as Luxray''s recement, Gliscor has the least experience when ites to battlingpared to his other pokemons, he has battled them and has learned a lot but that''s all, when it came to opponents with different styles, he has very little knowledge. Julian "Let''s go Gliscor, you are up" Julian said and sent out his Shiny Gliscor, Gliscor came out andnded on the ground using his tail, his whole body is being supported by his powerful tail, his tail has enough strength to carry many times his own body weight, his thick tail has the power to knock out anyone but he is not used to using them. His whole life Gliscor relied on his pincers which had crushing grip strength, they could cause heavy damage to any opponent but Julian had other ideas, he knew Gliscor physic, he had seen how powerful Gliscor''s tail really is and it would be a waste if he doesn''t use it, it could be used to grapple, throw, crush, and hit opponents depending on the situation. Since he is facing an electric type right now he ispletely immune to Raichu''s electric type attacks, he is also immune to any ground type attacks as well due to his secondary typing which is the Flying-type. Julian has no idea what other pokemon Volkner had in his team, he challenged Volkner blindly without doing any research on him, he knew about his Raichu because he saw Ash battling against it. Volkner "A Gliscor, this is going to be hard, Raichu let''s go all out, Quick Attack" Volkner said and gave hismand, he is excited, he felt pressured against the person that is standing in front of him, he felt as if he was the challenger and the man in ck was the gym leader, this feeling, it was the same when he was young, going around Sinnoh and challenging gyms. His Raichu charged at Gliscor at high speed, he is not as fast as Jolteon but his speed is admirable, with Quick Attack the speed is boosted and his size also helped in increasing the power behind the attack. Seeing the Raichu heading straight towards him Gliscor grinned as he showed his razor-sharp fangs, his eyes became fierce, his pupils shrunk as he gave off a fierce aura, Raichu sensed the pressure increasing but he didn''t slow down and continued forward, the glow in front of Raichu''s head grew brighter as the power of the attack increased significantly. Gliscor crossed his pincers and grabbed the ground under his tail tightly by the hooks in his tail, Gliscor is the tank of Julian''s team. Raichu connected, his head against Gliscor''s, their eyes are locked, both have a fierce look on their faces, it looked like a sh of titans, one trying his best tond a powerful hit and the other trying to stop it without building from his spot. The sh caused a shock wave, winds went sting at high speed across the battlefield which rose the dust in the air, Raichu is one of Volkner''s strongest pokemons so this Quick Attack had a lot of power and he even increased his speed tond more damage on Gliscor but it seems like the attack had no effect. As their eyes were locked, Raichu trying to push Gliscor back but no matter how hard he tried Gliscor didn''t budge from his spot, the fierce looks in his eyes didn''t waver on a bit, Gliscor can easily counter Raichu right now, his pincers are free, he could just finish the battle right now by using Guillotine, there is no way Raichu could escape it at such close range. But doing that would be no fun, Gliscor''s tail which has been hooked on the ground is holding its position, cracks have already appeared around the hooked area from the impact force of Raichu''s Quick Attack. Raichu failed to deal any damage on Gliscor and was pushed back by Gliscor, with his own sheer power Gliscor stopped Raichu and his attack, this was the power being Gliscor''s defense and raw power, bothbined he couldn''t be moved no matter what their opponent had in their arsenal. Raichu fell on the ground as the force behind his attack stopped, he is clearly opened to an attack and so Julian made his move. Julian "X-Scissors" With that, the exchange between them came to an end, the crossed pincers of Gliscor moved to create a greenish-yellow X shaped de whichnded on Raichu sending him flying in the air and it crashed against the wall. Raichu got knocked out, this was an easy battle from Gliscor because he ispletely immune to Electric-type attacks and his Defense is ridiculous making it very easy for him to take any attack, his attack was also very powerful, Raichu had no chance winning this bout. Chapter 459 - Second Win Volkner''s Raichu has been taken down very easily but he had expected this to happen, he had already chosen Raichu before Julian sent out Gliscor, the only thing he didn''t expect was that Julian''s Gliscor would be such a tank. Volkner sighed and took out his next Pokeball, he became determined, this battle became harder than he thought, his Raichu just got sted and he couldn''t do anything but this next pokemon of his might have a very good chance. ?? Volkner "Your Gliscor is indeed strong, but I am no pushover, I have many trainerse to my gym with ground type pokemons but they still lost" Volkner said and tossed his next Pokeball up in the air. Volkner "Octillery, it''s up to you" Volkner sent out an Octillery, seeing this Julian was not surprised at all, Gym leaders used at least one pokemon that is a different type from the rest of their team to counter their weakness, since Electric types are weak to Ground-type pokemons, a Water, Grass or Ice-type pokemon could do the trick. Volkner''s Octillery is a water type pokemon capable of learning Ice-type and Grass-type moves as well, this will be a tough one because Gliscor has a quad weakness to Ice-type moves, and weakness to Water-type moves. Julian ''Octillery, indeed a perfect pokemon to be kept as a backup in an Electric-type gym'' Julian thought. He didn''t want to call Gliscor back yet, he hasn''t had a proper battle yet so this Octillery will be his test. Gliscor looked at Octillery, his opponent, he could sense that this one is powerful and with its affinity of water, it''s attack would be more effective on him. Julian "Stay focus, it will be fine" Julian said and waited for Volkner to make his call. Volkner is also cautious about his moves, even though he has the advantage, he won''t attack carelessly, his Octillery''s movement is limit on the ground, it is slow without water around it, while Gliscor had a clear advantage when it came to moving around the battlefield. Volkner "Octillery, use Bullet Seeds" Hearing hismand Octillery shot numerous Green seeds at Gliscor at high speed, each and every one of these bullets is filled with powerful energy that would cause damage, even though Gliscor''s Defense is ridiculous as this level, he wouldn''t want to get hit, he is still not strong enough to take damages from moves that could cause a lot of damage. Julian "Dodge" Gliscor used his tail and suddenly catapult himself up in the air and dodged the Bullet Seeds, Gliscor spread his wings and started to float in the air and looked down at Octillery. Julian "Ariel Ace" Gliscor dove down with his Pincers crossed, white energy surrounded his body as his speed increased at blinding speed, he suddenly disappeared from Octillery''s sight and suddenly appeared right in front of Octillery and mmed into it Octillery, the hit was devastating and sent Octillery rolling on the ground but something was off. As Octillery rolled on the ground it suddenly used its legs to lock on to the ground, the suction cups on its legs were used as breaks, as soon as it stopped Volkner made his move. Volkner "Octillery, use Hydro Pump" Volkner ordered a powerful move, Hydro Pump is no joke, if Gliscor gets hit it will be devastating. Julian "Counter with Iron Tail" Gliscor stood on top of the ground once again with his tail, his tail started to glow and reflect light, it seemed as if his tail had turned into steel, as the Hydro Pump got near him, he did a front flip andshed at the Hydro Pump with his Iron Tail. Both attacks shed and created a huge bang of a sound, this sound could deafen people if they didn''t cover their ears. The Hydro Pump got canceled as the whole battlefield got covered in water, it looked like it is raining as some water droplets are still falling down. Volkner didn''t waste time, seeing Gliscor is still in the air he made another call. Volkner "Use Ice Beam" Octillery shot an Ice Beam at super speed, seeing the attacking at such high-speed Gliscor knew he couldn''t dodge it so he shielded himself with his pincers, his pincers got hit by the Ice Beam and sent Gliscor flying backward. Gliscor crashed on the ground, thatst attack was a powerful hit and with Octillery''s ability Sniper, the damage was even more but that didn''t mean Gliscor lost. He used his tail and hooked into the ground and lifted his body up, his pincers have been frozen together and he is not able to use them. Volkner "We got them, let''s finish this, Hydro Pump" Volkner called for another Hydro Pump and Octilleryunched it, a very powerful Hydro Pump headed towards Gliscor. Julian "Use Night sh with your tail" When Gliscor heard this, he felt confused, he had never used Night sh with his tail, he didn''t know what Julian meant by it. Julian "Just do it, I know you can do it, you have been training for this" He said. Gliscor shook his head and threw away the doubts in his mind and trusted his ability and believed in Julian, he started to collectrge amount of dark energy in his tail, as the Hydro Pump got close to him he once again did a front flip and this time he released a dark vertical crescent de. The Night sh cut straight through the Hydro Pump andnded on Octillery, the Hydro Pump had been split into two by that Night sh. The Night sh seemed much powerful than any normal Night sh, it is not because it was more powerful than other, it was the same Night sh, the power behind the attack actually came from his powerful tail, his tail had multiplied the speed of that Night sh by several folds making it more deadly. With its new speed, the attack could easily split Hydro Pump and hit Octillery, Octillery is sent rolling on the ground once again, as it tried to use its suction cup to stop itself once again. But Gliscor wasn''t done, he did another front flip right after the first one and sent a second Night sh that hit Octillery once again and this time it was done deal. Octillery went flying out of the battlefield and crashed against the wall, knocked out. Gliscor got his second victory of the day but he is now exhausted, that Ice Beam along with Octillery''s Sniper ability had really caused a lot of damage but due to the power being his powerful tail he got back on top, even though his pincers were rendered useless, he still used his tail to defeat his opponent. Gliscor started to breathe in heavily, he then used a Fire Fang to melt off the ice that tied up his pincers. Proprietor "Octillery is unable to battle, Gliscor wins" Then the result was announced. Chapter 460 - A Pokemon From Alola Gliscor has scored his second victory but he is tired and weak now, Octillery''sst Ice Beam had significant damage on him, even though his Defense is ridiculous, his Special Defense isckingpared to it. Julian "Gliscor you have done good, return" ?? Julian called Gliscor back to his Pokeball, without his Pincers he was still able to perform excellently and dealt the fatal damage on Octillery and won the battle. Volkner had not expected this battle to be so one-sided, the opponent that is standing in front of him is too strong, his pokemons are simr to his level but the way they battle isplex, they are fast and use unique movements to battle making it hard for him toe up with a counter. Thest exchange he though he was going to win as he froze Gliscor''s main weapons that were his pincers to his surprise, Gliscor used his tail and the attacks from them were more powerful than normal, slicing up a Hydro Pump is no joke. Volkner ''Who is this man, his way of battling is very unique, but I think I have seen this kind of battling somewhere but I can''t remember where?'' He thought and pulled out hisst pokemon, this Pokeball of his is not a normal Pokeball, it''s a Great Ball, having a high capturing rate, this Pokeball is very useful for catching very strong pokemons which can easily break normal pokeballs. Julian saw the Great Ball and got surprised, seeing Pokeball like this is rare, Great Balls are used very less, while Ultra Balls are nearly nonexistent, they cost a fortune. They use these pokeballs to catch pokemon who are very strong, even after injuring them they will still have the energy to break a normal Pokeball, these pokeballs are also used to catch some legendary pokemons if they are encountered, these balls at least increase their chance of catching them. Julian wondered what Pokemon could be inside this, as it''s very rare to see Great Balls. Volkner "You are indeed a very strong trainer, I don''t know if I can win but I am not going to give up so easily, you will be facing against my strongest pokemon" Volkner said and threw his Pokeball up in the air, the Pokeball opened and a huge pokemon came out of it. The pokemonnded on the ground causing it to shake a little, Julian looked at the huge pokemon in front of him and got surprised. It was a giant Electivire, way bigger than normal, it was even bigger than his Electivire, this Electivire seems to have a unique aura around it. Julian "Where did you get that Electivire? It doesn''t look normal no matter how you look at it" He said. Volkner "Form Al, Electivire is a Totem pokemon, born after being exposed to the concentrate aura present in Al while it was just an egg, I caught him while I visited Al" Volkner said. Julian "I see, Al huh?" Julian said and wondered when he might go to Al, he will take it slowly and not worry about it now, he took out his Pokeball and tossed it up in the air. Julian "Togekiss, you are up" Julian called out his Togekiss, she is also a tank, she can take any Special Attack head-on ande out unscathed. Volkner "This time it will be a very different story, a Totem pokemon is not a normal pokemon, you should be on guard" He said. Julian "I always am" He said and looked at the giant in front of him, it stood 4 meters tall, that is about 1.5 meters taller than his Electivire, the Totem Electivire is pulsing with the unique aura which seems to be powering it up. Julian "Togekiss this might be your hardest battle, be careful" He said and warned Togekiss. Julian ''Totem pokemon huh? The more I hear about Al the more curious I get, Z-Crystals that amplify a pokemon move and now this giant'' He thought. The Proprietor waved his hand and gave the signal to battle again. Volkner "I will go First, Electivire, ThunderBolt" With Volkner''s order, his Electivire sent a powerful Thunderbolt at Togekiss, this Thunderbolt is way more powerful than anything Julian had seen at this level. Julian "Dodge" Togekiss moved out of the way and avoided the Thunderbolt, the Thunderboltnded on the ground and destroyed it, seeing this Julian became serious, this Totem pokemon is serious business. He didn''t think that Volkner would have something so powerful, his Sinnoh Team is still not at their best, they have time to grow, the Electivire in front of Togekiss right now is way stronger than any opponent she has faced before. Julian "Togekiss, Ariel Ace" Togekiss moved flew up high towards the ceiling and suddenly dove down at high speed, she suddenly disappeared from everyone''s sight in a blur and the next moment she appeared right in front of Electivire and smashed into him. Electivire got pushed back but there seems to be no damage done, Electivire just surged it off. Volkner "Hammer Arm" As Togekiss is very close to Electivire, he brought down its heavy hand using Hammer Arm. Julian "Dodge using Extreme Speed" Togekiss suddenly disappeared from her spot and appeared right behind Electivire and smashed into him again but just like before Electivire surged the attack off as if it was nothing. Julian ''This Electivire''s defense is troublesome'' He thought, well he was just testing the waters, his Togekiss is not built for Physical Attack as her attack powers are lower than average, but that should have still put some damage on pokemons but this Electivire is different. It''s Defense is way over the standard, maybe even tougher than the toughest he has seen. Chapter 461 - Togekiss Vs Electivire Togekiss quickly put some distance between her and the giant Electivire, the only thing that Togekiss doesn''t have to worry about is taking physical damage, with her speed and ability to fly she can easily escape from any physical attacks. Due to Electivire''s huge size, his speed is below average while Togekiss can zap around the area, now that Julian has a rough idea about Electivire''s defense, he needs to make his move. ?? Julian "Use Aura Sphere" Togekiss flew up in the air and created a blue energy ball in front of her mouth and shot it at Electivire, there is no way Electivire could dodge this as Aura Sphere would follow their target no matter where they go and even if it didn''t Electivire''s speed is too slow for him to dodge this. Volkner "Counter with Thunder Punch" Electivire pulled his right hand back as lightning started to collect violently around it, as the Aura Sphere got close Electivire punched it, the sh between these attacks caused a huge st as the ground beneath Electivire''s legs shattered. Both attacks were equal in strength no one won that exchange, but from the bacsh, Electivire''s whole body was pushed back. This was the first time anyone countered Togekiss''s attack upfront, even Garchomp in Julian''s team won''t confront these powerful attacks from her, she is the strongest special attacker in his team. Julian "Impressive, but that won''t help" He said as a smiled appeared in his face, this battle took an unexpected turn for him, he thought that this gym battle would be the same as others, he would use them as steps for his pokemons to grow stronger but now it looks like he has to finally get serious, the opponent for the first time was stronger than him. The Electivire has ridiculous physical defense and physical attacks that matched his Togekiss''s special attacks. Volkner "We will see about that, nobody has ever defeated my Electivire at the same power level or even a level above, this is the first time my Electivire has been pushed back" Volkner said excitedly, this battle got more exciting for him, he was thankful for Ash to revive his fighting spirit or he would have missed such a good battle. Julian "Well at the end of the day I will be victories, even though your Electivire''s Defense and Power is exceptional, it won''t matter, my Togekiss has fought way tougher opponents" He said. Well Julian''s wasn''t lying, his Togekiss has had mock battles with her seniors, even though they were not serious battles they have been proven to be good training, putting pressure on Togekiss from the start has put her in the correct mindset with ites to battle, never underestimate anyone. She is always expecting something new and unusual from her opponent and if the opponent has nothing she will win and if they had something she would be ready. Volkner "I don''t want your prediction, we will find the result when the battle ends" Volkner said. Julian "I am not predicting, it''s a spoiler" He said and chuckled. Volkner "Too bad I don''t like Spoilers, Electivire, use Rain Dance" Electivire suddenly used Rain Dance, artificial clouds started to form below the ceiling, they rumbled and shed with lightning inside, it started to rain heavily as the battlefield got wet. Togekiss shook her body to throw off the excess water on her wings, she started to glide around so that the water from the rain won''t affect her wings. Volkner "I am about to finish this, Electivire use Thunder" Electivire used Thunder, the rain clouds started to rumble as lightning shed inside, the sparks of lightning crackled and started to charge up. Seeing an unavoidable attacking towards Togekiss, Julian decided to make a move, usually, Thunder could be dodged with Togekiss''s speed but in Rain Dance, a Thunder will follow its target no matter where they go. Julian "Use Extreme Speed as soon as the lightning is released" As soon as the lightning came crashing down on Togekiss she moved, she used Extreme Speed and charged towards Electivire, the lightning followed right behind her, as she got very close to Electivire, Julian made another call. Julian "Now up" As Togekiss was just an inch away from Electivire''s chest she changed her direction, she moved up, the lightning behind hernded on Electivire shocking him. Julian ''Looks like this Electivire doesn''t have Motor drive as his ability'' He thought as he saw the lightning damaging Electivire, Julian needed to see what ability Electivire had. If he had Motor Drive Electric-type attacks wouldn''t have dealt any damage and on top of that it would have increased his speed as well, but now that he has Vital Spirit Julian knows that Electivire cannot be put to sleep. Electivire got to its knee as the Lightning was way too powerful, Thunder is one of the strongest Electric-type moves and with Rain Dance it became devastating, Togekiss got lucky to dodge it. Electivire got back to his feet again as breath out some smoke from his mouth, the Thunder seems to have just caused it some pain. As for the effectiveness, it wasn''t much. Julian ''Even it''s Special Defense is ridiculous'' He thought as he saw Electiviree out of that Thunder unscathed. Julian ''Well then, how should I bring it down?'' He thought and looked around to find something. Chapter 462 - Togekiss Vs Electivire (2) Now that Julian realized that the Electivire in front of him even has a ridiculous Special Defense, things got harder. Togekiss flew around the air looking at Electivire, Electivire also has his eyes on Togekiss ready to attack. ?? Volkner "You are not dodging this, Shock Wave" Electivire suddenly released a burst of wide-area Electric surge and with the rain is effect there is no way of dodging this, the Electricity moved fast andnded on Togekiss and shocked her, there was no way of countering this, it was a wide range attack Togekiss had nowhere to go. Yes Togekiss has Protect but that cannot be used now, this is just that Protect can be used when a more powerful attack is being thrown at her. Protect cannot be used multiple times, every time it gets used it bes weaker, seeing how powerful that Thunder was, not many Protect can be used against it. Togekiss lost her bnce and started to fall down but she soon got back to her senses and flew back up before she crashed on the ground, that Previous attack was effective but not fetal, Togekiss''s defense is very high, higher than her opponent Electivire but she is weak to Electric-type attacks so she has to be careful. Julian "Use Air shes" Togekiss got back on top and sent multiple wind des at Electivire. Volkner "Counter with Thunderbolt" Electivire sent a powerful Thunderbolt, both attacked shed, the Thunderbolt destroyed few wind des but it couldn''t destroy all before it faded away, the remaining wind desnded on Electivire causing some damage, those were some powerful attacks but Electivire still took them on his chest, showing only little damage. Volkner "Use Shock Wave once again" Seeing another Shock Waveing at her Julian decided to find an alternative way to dodge this Julian "Use Dazzling Gleam on the Ground" Togekiss released a white gleaming beam on the ground, the attackednded and created a huge deep hole on it, the Shock Wave arrived and hit her again causing her to feel pain from that attack. She withstood the attack and continued flying. Volkner "There is no escaping, Electivire, use Shock Wave once again" He ordered. Volkner ''If I continue this, no matter how strong the Togekiss''s defenses are, she will go down'' Volkner thought as he had this battle in his hand. Julian "Dive into the hole" Togekiss folded her wings and did a free fall into the hole she had created, she dodged the Shock wave sessfully, the attack couldn''t reach her below the ground. Volkner "That is impressive, but do you think I don''t have a counter, Earthquake" He said and called out his attack, while Togekiss might be a flying type. If she is inside the ground there is no escaping from the Earthquake. Julian "Of course, I expect you to have a counter, Togekiss, use Mud ps" Togekiss suddenly flew out of the hole just before Electivire used Earthquake, he used Earthquake but Togekiss is already out of the hole, she used Mud-p and sent bulks of mud at Electivire, seeing the attacking towards him, Electivire blocked it with his hand, but the target was not his body at all, it was his eyes, some mud hit his eyes and caused Electivire to lose his sight. Now that his sight is gone Togekiss can do what she wants. Volkner "Use Thunder" Electivire ignored the burning sensation in his eyes and used Thunder, lightning cracked inside the clouds and came crashing towards Togekiss. Since she is far away from Electivire she cannot do the same thing she did before. Julian "Use Protect" Togekiss used Protect and created a force field which blocked the Thunder, the lightning hitting the force field caused a huge bang, cracks appeared all over the force field but before it could shatter the Thunder ended. And with luck, the Rain Dance came to an end as well. Julian "Now, it''s our turn, Togekiss use Sunny Day" Togekiss sang a melodic tone and released a small fireball up in the air which shattered and created a very hot environment, the sunlighting into the battlefield turned harsh, now Fire-type attacks would be amplified and Togekiss knew a few very powerful Fire-Type attacks. Electivire is trying to get the mud off his eyes but the harder he tried the more painful it got for him. Volkner "Electivire stop rubbing your eyes, use Shock Wave" Volkner gave hismand and Electivire did it, he released a powerful Shock wave but Julian saw thising. Julian "Use Protect then me Thrower" Togekiss quickly used Protect and stopped the Shock Wave from hitting her, as Electivire''s attack ended sheunched her me Thrower at him, due to Sunny Day it has be more powerful, the me Throwernded and caused a lot of damage to Electivire but it just roared and shook off the attack resisting the pain but the effect of the attack didn''t stop, burn took effect, mes burst around Electivire causing it to get on its knee. Julian "Let''s finish this, Sr Beam" Togekiss collected the energy from the harsh sunlight and charged up a Sr Beam instantly and shot it at Electivire, the movended again and this time it sent Electivire rolling on the ground as the damage was significant. Volkner "Electivire, get up" He shouted in frustration. To Julian''s surprise, the Electivire got back to his knee again, he then used his arms to get back to his feet but suddenly the Burn took effect again, a burst of mes emerged and surrounded Electivire causing him to go back to his feet. Julian "What a resilient pokemon, but it''s time to end this, use Fire st" Julian gave his final order. Seeing at huge Fire Symboling towards him Electivire got back to his feet with all of the adrenaline in his body and put his arms in front of him to block it. The Fire stnded and created a huge explosion, a dome of fire got created as it burned everything, the ground got chard, as the explosion stopped, Electivire could be seen still standing on his feet with one eye closed and the other eye ring at Togekiss. Julian is shocked, he thought this would have ended the Electivire but he still stood on his feet, well it didn''t hold up for long, the Burn took effect again as mes burst around his body again and this was the end. Electivire''s whole body came crashing on the ground as it got knocked out. Chapter 463 - The Last Gym Badge Electivire is finally down, the aura that surrounded his body seems to have disappeared, Volkner looked at his Electivire and couldn''t believe what just happened. Things took a huge turn, the first three battle, it was clearly in Julian''s win as he dominated it, but the fourth exchange was different, his Electivire was about tond many hits and took a lot of heavy damage from his own moves and Togekiss as well but things changed all of a sudden. ?? Rain dance ended and Togekiss burned Electivire, being a Fairy/Flying-type most people would expect Togekiss to have a fairy or a fire type move as its finisher but Julian''s Togekiss used Fire st along with Sunny Day, no matter which pokemon stood in front of it will get destroyed. Well his Electivire was still able to hold up, first, he got hit by a powered-up methrower and it managed tond a burn effect, then his Electivire got hit by a Sr Beam instantly as Sunny Day helped charged it up instantly, the Sr Beam did a lot of damage but Electivire still stood but, the final call was the Fire st, one of the most powerful Fire-Type moves and with Sunny Day, it''s damaging capacity doubled, when it hit Electivire, it left him in a very bad state, no pokemon could survive the Sr Beam let alone an amplified Fire st but Electivire stood there on thest surge of adrenaline he had in his body but that too was taken down after the surge of burn bursting around Electivire and finally putting him down. The battle is over and Togekiss won. Even the Proprietor is surprised by this, he didn''t expect Volkner to be defeated like this, it was all over. Proprietor "Electivire is unable to battle, Togekiss wins, the winner of this battle is the challenger" He gave his final verdict and the battle came to an end, Julian won hisst and final badge, qualifying him to participate in the Sinnoh League. Volkner finally excepted the result and called his Electivire back to his Pokeball. Volkner "That was a hard-fought battle but I expect no less from the greatest trainer in the current generation, Sir Julian" Volkner said and smiled. Julian "Oh, when did you realize?" Julian asked as he took off his mask, he had nothing to hide now as Volkner seems to have found his identity. Volkner "Just right now, I wondered who couldmand pokemon like this? There are only a few in the world, I also knew that the Julian is in Sinnoh right now, and everyone knows you like going around challenging gyms, so I suspected it might be you" He said and chuckled. Well, he is frustrated that he lost but at the same time had a good feeling, not many could say they put one of Julian''s pokemon in a tough condition as he did. Julian "I see, well it''s very easy to guess it was me from the start" He said and smiled. Volkner "Well, I could have but the battle was too intense for me to think about anything else" He said and walked towards Julian, he then took out a badge, its a yellow badge with two horns that are faced downwards, its the Beacon badge. He handed it to Julian, Julian took the badge and put it away in his case. Volkner "What do you n to do now?" He asked. He is curious about the life of the man said to be the strongest champion in the current generation, no one has evere close to him, what is the life of a person who has already reached the top of what Volkner has dreamt of. Julian "Nothing much, the same old usual stuff, my pokemon still have a lot to do before they are fully able to take care of themselves on their own and for that, they need a lot of training" Julian said with a smile on his face Volkner "I see, I won''t be wasting your time than" Julian "I will be leaving" Saying so Julian left the gym after sending Togekiss back to her pokemon and with thest badge with him, he has conquered all the gyms in Sinnoh and now he needs to train his pokemon more, get them ready for the bigger event that is about to take ce. He returned to his hotel room and rested for the day, the next morning he woke up early and started to train his pokemons, now their hell training started, every one of Julian''s pokemon has gone through this, but this hell training only starts when Julian feels that they are ready for it. Hell training started, it is way tougher than ever, even Crystal was not excused from this, Julian put Crystal in the same training as others. Its cute eyes didn''t affect Julian no matter how many times it tried, but Julian is not so cruel to his pokemons, after their hell training they are taken to the spa, given healthy food filled with protein and other helpful vitamins to build up their strength. Chapter 464 - Hell Training And Future Planes The training continued, three days have passed, the routine was hell training, food, hell training, pokemon spa, then food, this became the normal routine, the pokemons didn''t mind at all as after the hell training they would get tasty food and massage from the best pokemon massager in Sunyshore City. First, they go through hard training, then they get whatever they want, everything is going well. While training his pokemon Julian was also worried about other things that need to take care of such as Cyrus and rescuing Uxie. ?? He still has this urge to charge into the underworld and destroy Cyrus and rescue Uxie from his clutches but he couldn''t, he has no idea where Cyrus is hiding and he cannot be careless now, he cannot risk the life of a pokemon from his carelessness. He is currently waiting for Cynthia''s call, she has already prepared a team and they are finding someone that could help them, their people inside the underworld are currently busy so they have to be careful, they cannot allow these people who work for them to get captured. Things always happened this way, one organization have many spies nted into the other, informing them, Cynthia also informed him that the league found the spy who was inside the league, they found out that the spy worked for the Sinnoh underworld, other than that they couldn''t find anything. These spies seem to know nothing, they were just here to inform the underworld about the things that the League is nning, they were like toys, they were very useful to the underworld but once they are caught they are abandoned. These spies also seemed to be brainwashed into beingpletely faithful to the underworld. Having received all this news Julian realized that the underworld is much dangerous than those normal organizations that he has destroyed, they are everywhere, all over the world, they have countless connections and no one knows who the real leaders of the underworld are. The heads in a particr region charged of the particr underworld are not the leaders at all, this underworld has been in power for thousands of years, the families that are the ruling party pass their seats to their future generations. They are just like royal families but they hide from the public eye controlling them from the shadows, the League and other government organization from other countries are their enemies, there was a huge war between these factions hundreds of years ago, in which the underworld lost and retreated into the shadows, this was only possible because all the government of every country and region joined forces together to defeat them. When Julian learned about this he was surprised, he knew nothing about this at all, he had gone through the history of this world where it talked about the war that took ce hundreds of years ago and the golden age of this world started as the evil forces were defeated, but that was it, the history was very vague and Julian didn''t understand why. Thinking about it now, he realized that there was something more to it than just this, even though Cynthia has informed him about all this, he would take all this for a grain of salt, this thing happened hundreds of years and to Julian, these hundreds of years are like thousands, such a long time has passed and there could be a possibility that the history was made up, things could be a lot different than what the current people believe. Even in his previous world, he fought in war just because some country leaders were not happy because of what the leader of other countries was doing, he didn''t even know why he fought that war, everything was so vague, even after all that his previous self just let it go because he was protecting the people who couldn''t protect themselves. War is such, the one who fights in the war know nothing about it, they may think that they are fighting for the right thing, but the people on the opposite side is also thinking the same, only the world leader know what is right and what is wrong, maybe even they don''t know anything about it, they are just after more power and money. ____________________ Julian is currently in the spa with his pokemons, while they enjoy their time being massaged by the employees of the massage parlor, he sat there in the waiting room looking at his phone, it has been three days since his battle with Volkner ended but he hasn''t revived a call from Cynthia at all, he wondered what was really going on, but he didn''t have to wait long, his phone suddenly buzzed and the screen showed Cynthia''s photo. She called him, he quickly picked up the call and answered her. Julian "How is it?" He asked. Cynthia "Sess, a man who works for us in the underworld has confirmed that he can smuggle some of our spies in, but the limit is only four, are you sure you want to go?" She asked. She seems to be very worried, even though many couldn''t tell from her bold and powerful voice, Julian picked it up. Julian "Don''t worry, nothing is going to happen to me" He said and consoled her, his voice is soft and assuring helping Cynthia to calm down. Cynthia "Ok, fine, our group will be leaving after three days, you shoulde to the League headquarters, I will send you the exact time afterward" She said. Julian "Good, now take care of yourself and don''t overwork, try sleeping, I can tell from your voice that you are tired" He said. Cynthia "Ok......I will be ending the call...." She said softly and ended the call before Julian could speak any further, seeing that the call had ended he sighed and put the phone away, now that Cynthia has confirmed that he will be leaving in three days, he decided to quickly put an end to the hellish training camp. Julian ''I will train them for two more days, then let them properly rest'' He thought and closed his eyes waiting for the massage session of his pokemons to be over. Chapter 465 - Team Meeting The training continued for Julian''s pokemon, for two days, they had gone through hell in these two days, their bodies were put through a lot but they were also rewarded the best, their powers has increased a lot, during this week''s training all of them have grown a lot. Julian doesn''t get much time to train, traveling took all the time and with the cult running amok it became harder, now that he was free, having nothing else to bother him after fishing the gyms he could concentrate on training his pokemons. ?? All of them are ready, Julian is also ready as he will be leaving Sunyshore city tomorrow with the group that Cynthia and the League have arranged. The second day came to an end, Julian''s pokemon finally got the break they were waiting for, now that their training was over they felt happy, even with the delicious food and the rxing massage it was still hard for them to go through that training. When the training ended their muscles would be sore. If they hadn''t been treated with those massages and a lot of protein-based food they wouldn''t be able to move at all for the next day. All of his pokemons are now asleep, they won''t be awake for hours, they might even sleep for days before finally getting up, these long-duration sleep would help them grow their power inside their body. Next day Julian got ready, he put on a change of clothes, Cynthia had told him to wear something that he wouldn''t usually wear, so he bought a red jacket, ck jeans, red sunsses and a red scarf covering his face, no one entering the underworld would reveal their face. If their faces are out they will be in potential danger. There are always people hunting the naive firsters who know nothing about the underworld, they will get hunted, their pokemon would be stolen and they will be killed, once they enter the underworld no one can find them and their murderer would never be found. Underworld is not a ce for amateurs to walk around, Julian soon arrives at the League headquarters, Julian didn''t talk with anyone while entering, he just showed a pass that let him walk right through the security without them questioning anything to him. The pass that was given to him by Cynthia is special, only she and the chief has the authority to hand over this pass to anyone, this pass allow a person to enter the League headquarters without being questioned. Once Julian walked in he went straight to the mentioned floor in the message that was sent to him, when he got there he saw Cynthia and the Chief along with few men in different colored cloths, all of them had them are wearing dangerous gears like daggers and guns around their waist. Cynthia "You havee" Cynthia said and professionally greeted Julian, no one in the room knew that this was Julian, not even the Chief, she told the Chief that she would send one of her own men with the squad, the Chief wanted to know the identity of this man but Cynthia didn''t tell him. Julian shook her hand and stayed silent, he was the one who told Cynthia to not reveal in identity to anyone, not even the Chief so she didn''t. Chloe "Here are your weapons, take them" She said and passed him a ck dagger and two handguns, even though all these people have their pokemons to protect them and they are indeed more effective than any weapons created by humans, the ability to protect themselves is still necessary, sometimes their pokemon cannot be there to protect them and they need to rely on themselves. Julian nodded and put the guns on the side of his waist and two daggers around his boots. Chief "I don''t know who you are but keep in mind, don''t fuck up the mission, find Cyrus and get Uxie back, nothing more nothing less" The Chief said while looking at Julian, he frowned and showed his displeasure as he didn''t know the identity of this person, he looked at the other three and showed the same displeased face to them as well, Julian hasn''t seen the Chief with this expression. He ignored it and looked at Cynthia. Cynthia "You all will be entering the underworld from the ck market that is situated in Pastoria city, from there you will go to an alley in the northeast alley of the city, there you will meet a man called Zee in a coffee shop, he will be responsible for taking you into the ck Market, once in he will board you inside a cargo ship which will take you to the maind where the underworld is situated" She said. One man who is wearing a blue robe raised his hand to ask a question, Julian looked at him and decided to call him blue for now. Blue "Where is this maind?" He asked. From his voice, Julian predicted that this man should be in his 40s but he is not sure. Cynthia "It is south of Sinnoh, it''s a giant ind, the ind is protected by a force field that hides it from the public eyes, no one can get into the ind without any proper help from inside, luckily Zee will be able to do it for you people, once you are in, all of you are on your own, separate from each other and spread out, try to find Cyrus and inform right back to the headquarters" She said in amanding voice, seeing this side of Cynthia was new to Julian, she looked like a strict boss who would punish her employee even for the smallest mistakes. Julian ''It''s no time to get impressed by my girlfriend, my first priority is to get to Cyrus'' He thought. Chapter 466 - Leaving For Pastoria City Julian looked at the other spies in the room, one is wearing a blue themed dress. one ck and one green, if there is yellow, including Julian they would make up a whole ranger team for the kids to watch. But Julian put that thought away from his mind and decided to call them by their dress as he has nothing else on them, they were assigned by the Chief himself, Julian looked at them carefully, trying to study them but it seems too hard, these people are covered from head to toe and they showed nothing that could indicate their personalities. ?? Cynthia "Ok, now, after an hour the four of you will be leaving from here in a chopper, the chopper will directly take you to Pastoria City, from there you all know what to do. When you are at Pastoria city you will receive a note from Zee in your hotel room that has already been assigned, you can then meet him at the coffee shop and from there, it is all up to you guys. You won''t be able tomunicate with us while you are inside the area of the underworld, the only way for you all to get in touch with us is when you leave the ind and get back to Sinnoh''s maind. Am I clear?" Cynthia asked in amanding voice. "Yes" The three men shouted in response after they did they looked at Julian, they wanted to know who this person is as well but had no idea who this person is, this man remained silent the whole time, he didn''t even show any respect to the Chief. Cynthia said it was one of her own men but they had no idea Cynthia had her own team. Cynthia looked at Julian and nodded and he nodded in response. Blue "Is he dumb?" The man in blue whispered and asked the man on his right. Green "I don''t know but leave him be, we need to do the thing that the chief told us to do" Green whispered. Blue nodded and stood silently. Cynthia went on exining other things that they need to do during this mission and the rest just sat there and listened. During this Julian carefully looked at everyone in the room, the Chief was being the Chief sitting in the main chair and drinking something from his tea, even though he is a Chief he seems like an ordinary man, he had an aura of leader around him when he wasmanding others but while he is left alone, he looks like any normal person on the street. ____________________ An hour passed and it was time to leave, Julian and the other three were taken to the terrace where a military chopper is waiting for them, ready to leave. Cynthia and the Chief also came to bid their farewell, Cynthia is still in her bossy nature which seems so natural that Julian thought this is the real her, but after seeing who she really is from the inside, he became surprised. No one would believe him if he told that this boss of theirs is not bossy or strict but a cute and beautiful woman. Cynthia "Don''t die" That is all she said as she watched Julian and the rest got into the chopper, Julian nodded his head and so did the rest, they didn''t know that Cynthia was talking to Julian. She is really worried about him but she is also really good at hiding her emotions. The chopper took off as Cynthia and the Chief watched it leave, once they were all alone Chief let out a sigh of relief. Chief "I hope everything goes well, what do you think, Champion?" He said and asked Cynthia with a smile on his face. Cynthia "I also hope, things go well, that ind is dangerous, they might die there" She said but she didn''t disy any emotions. Chief "Champion, you are cold as always, they might really die you know?" He said andughed awkwardly. Cynthia "They are the citizens of this region and they will die for it and its people, if they die we will honor them" She said and turned around and decided to leave, the Chief joined Cynthia and left as well. Chief "Champion, have you met Mr. Julian recently?" He asked while rubbing his hand against each other and with a wide smile on his face. Cynthia "Yes, I did, he is still chasing the cult, the leader of the cult escaped as that Hydreigon was running wild, Mr. Julian decided to stop the Hydreigon as he thought the safety of the people was more important, right now he is trying to capture the leader of the cult" She said. Chief "Oh, I see, Mr. Julian is really helpful, he is helping our region so much, we should award him something" Cynthia "I think we should" She said and nodded her head. Chief "By the way, Champion, can I ask you something?" He asked. Cynthia "What is it?" She asked and raised her brows, Chief was not the type of person to ask personal questions about someone''s life. Chief "What is your rtionship with Mr. Julian?" He asked while still putting on a happy face, he didn''t want to offend Cynthia. Cynthia is caught by surprise by this question but she didn''t waver on the outside. Cynthia "He is just a friend, during our mission together we became friends" She said. Chief "Ahahahaha, I see, I thought you both were lovers, well too bad I was wrong. If you were lovers, it would have been very beneficial for the league" He said andughed embarrassed while scratching his head. Cynthia fiercely red at Chief making his quiver in fear and back off. Chief "Aaahaha, Champion, I was just joking, please forget about it" He said and backed off a little while blocking his body with his hands, he thought Cynthia would smash him into the ground if he didn''t. Cynthia "Fine, but I will warn you, don''t make assumptions, it will be troublesome, I am fine with these kinds of things, but Mr. Julian is not the kind person he shows on the outside. If you offend him he will beat you to death" She said and walked about without disying any emotions. Chief "Haha..... Thank you for the advice, I will keep that in my mind" He said and followed behind her. Chapter 467 - Zee The chopper flew high in the sky, Julian is sitting at the edge of the seat looking down the greatnd of Sinnoh, everything is tiny from here, this is the first time Julian is flying in a chopper, he didn''t bother talking with the other men as they seem to be minding their own business. He looked outside and saw some bird pokemons flying at very high speed, at this height one could only find pokemon that are very strong. ?? Maybe equally strong as the pokemons Julian fought in Snowpoint gym, being the seventh gym to be challenged, it was definitely one of the hardest gyms to clear in Sinnoh. He saw Pidgeots, Fearows, Swellows and other bird pokemons that fly in a group, some time passed and things got silent, no one talked, then suddenly the man in blue looked at Julian and talked to him. Blue "Hey you, can''t you talk?" He asked. Julian just looked at him and stayed silent. Blue "Hey, I am talking to you, are you really dumb?" He asked again. Julian didn''t answer, he didn''t know why this man in blue wanted to talk to him, they will be separating once they get into the main ind of the underworld and would have nothing to do with each other, and hearing the tone of this person, Julian became uninterested to talk to them. They talked like some goons, well since they are going into the underworld, their tone might help them to blend in as there are many illegal traders there. Julian turned away and looked outside again. Blue "You....." Green "Bro, let him be, he doesn''t want to talk, he is clearly looking down on us, just because the Champion chose him, he thinks he is better than us" He whispered to Blue. Blue just frowned and went quiet, the other person who is covered in ck robe stared at Julian with cold eyes, he also didn''t talk a word during the whole time, Julian could feel the gaze from the man in ck but he didn''t mind. He felt something was off but it was not the time to think about it. The chopper soon arrived at Pastoria city, the chopper pilot gave Julian and the three men their own hotel key cards with its address. It looks like all of them will be in the same hotel but different rooms, once they got off the chopper, a ck SUV came to pick them up, then they were taken to the five-star hotel where they would stay for the day. Julian checked in without minding the others and got into his room, after entering the room he closed all the doors and windows and sat down in front of the couch and took out his phone to see if there is any message from Cynthia and there seems to be one. The message was nothing important as they were not rted to the mission, it was just Cynthia worried about his safety, he smiled and replied to her that he would be fine, he has said this to her a lot but she is still worried. He put his phone away and started to think about what his future n would be, the three men that were with him were very weird, one acted like a goon, one was a bootlicker to the goon and thest one was silent but is the most dangerous of the three. Julian could tell that these three have killed a lot of people and they are very good at hiding this fact, but it is not of his business, they are spies of the League, they should have been assigned many assassinations cases. The whole day Julian was not disturbed, he spent the day thinking about all the scenarios that he could encounter, even though he is prepared, he is not overconfident that he would easilyplete the mission but he is not worried as well. The day went by and nothing happened, the next morning Julian woke up and ate his breakfast waiting for the call that should have been arrived by now, suddenly his doorbell rang, he walked towards the door and opened it and saw a woman wearing a blue dress. Woman "Sit, its time" She said and bowed her head, Julian nodded and got his stuff and walked out of the room locking it behind him and gave the woman the key card, the woman then escorted him to the parking lot where Julian saw the other men. They were still dressed the same, their whole body covered with the same colored dress, Julian nced at them and walked into the SUV that is waiting for them, seeing Julian still ignoring them the man is blue got really pissed but he was stopped by the man wearing ck robe, he held his shoulder and shook his head indicating not to do anything here. Blue "Tchz" He clicked his tongue and ignored Julian, the SUV driver then took them to the coffee shop that Cynthia had told them about, this coffee shop is empty, only one man was inside, he is drinking coffee while a beautiful woman sat beside him. Julian and the three men walked into the coffee shop, seeing them the man who Cynthia had talked about waved at them. Zee "Over here" He called them with a smile on his face, this man looks to be in his mid-30s, he had a light beard on his face and a deep scar running down his left cheek, the woman who is closely stuck to him has brown hair and blue eyes, she is a very sexy woman, wearing very little clothes and pressing her breast against Zee, he also seems to be enjoying this as her legs are over hisp. The three men sat down in front of Zee and Julian took the chair that is to the right, keeping some distance from them. Zee "So you lot will be the one huh?" He asked and nced at everyone in the room, the woman next to him also did the same and nced at everyone and smiled seductively at them, Green gulped down some saliva and stared at the woman''s big breasts which are almost exposed as she is only wearing a small top that is only covering her nipples. Zee "Hey, shit head where are you looking at, how dare you look at my wife, I will gouge your eyes out" Zee suddenly got angry and mmed his hand on the table scaring both Blue and Green, they were surprised by this and backed off, ck didn''t move at all, he just stared at Zee and kept silent. Woman "Darling, don''t scare them, they haven''t seen a beautiful woman like me so they are a little mesmerized" She said and chuckled while staring at Julian and ck, as these two were the only one that didn''t care about her overly exposed skin. Zee "Yes, babe, you are the most beautiful" He said andughed, this man seems to have no shame as he starts to crease his wife''s legs in front of everyone ck "Enough, take us to where we have to go, we don''t have enough time" ck said andpletely ignoring them, he is getting pissed and releasing killing intent, of course, Zee noticed this and stopped and stared at ck. Chapter 468 - Black Market Zee "Hmm, I don''t know why they are doing so much, you all will die there" He said in a serious voice but from his actions, no one could tell because he is still ying with his wife''s legs and his hand is very close to her skirt, just a little more and he will be ying with more than just legs. ?? ck "I don''t care, just take us, that is your job, not to y around with your bitch" He said in a pissed of voice. Zee "What did you say?" Zee got angry and stood up mming the table in anger, he seems ready to kill. ck "I told you to stop this bullshit and get us to where we are meant to go, don''t stretch this out" ck stared right into Zee''s eyes without any sign of fear. Zee "Whatever, babe, go inside, we will continue when Ie back" He said and winked at his wife, she chucked and stood up revealing her long legs, she swayed her hips and started walking, on her way she looked at Julian and sucked her finger in front of him but he didn''t give a fuck, this woman was being too sexual, wasn''t someone who could be easily seduced like this. The woman seems to be pissed by this but didn''t mind, she entered the room behind the coffee shop leaving the men alone. Zee "Let''s go, If I see you, idiots, any longer, I might just kill you all" He said and walked out of the coffee shop, the three men and Julian soon followed behind Zee. Zee walked towards an abandoned building and brought out a car from inside and asked Julian and the three to hop on, they soon got in without wasting any time. After some time they were out of Pastoria City and entered the rocky mountain area, Julian has been here before, he battled with Hunter J here but she was soon rescued by the people of the underworld right after that. That was the first time Julian heard about them and the more he came to know about them, the more he realized how powerful the Underworld really is, this world is huge and Julian hasn''t seen everything while the Underworld had control over all the countries in this world. Zee drove around some mountains and through some rocky paths that Julian had no idea about, he memorized the path carefully as he might want toe back here someday if somethinges up. After an hour or going around the mountains, they finally arrived at a location that ispletely foreign to Julian, he saw men and womenpletely covering themselves walking in and out of a ce what looks like a market, he saw the ocean on the side while they are on top of rocky ground. He got out of the car and looked at the huge market in front of him, he saw many people inside doing business in one or the other way. Zee and the others also got out of the car and started to walk towards the market, Julian followed them into it, as he entered the market he saw things he couldn''t find in an ordinary market at all, there were very rare evolution stones, rare and expensive jewelry. He also saw pokemons he had never seen before being sold here, he wished he had a national Pokedex right now to find what these pokemons are but he is out of luck, these pokemons seems to be from other regions that are not native to Sinnoh or any other regions he knew about. The sad thing about this was that these pokemons were stolen from their trainers and are being sold here, but Julian could do nothing. If he creates a scene here, it will be hard for him to get into the ind where the underworld is located at. He continued walking through the street, he saw people buying and selling, they sold pokemons, rare gems, mega stones and everything that is valuable, the price is also very highpared to the normal market but there is a 100% chance of finding anything that a person wants. The group soon arrived near a ship dock. Zee "Wait here" He said and walked towards one of the ships and started talking to the captain of the ship, he then passed some money to the captain and the captain nodded, Zee got back and looked at the group. Zee "This ship will be leaving in an hour, till them look around and if you want to buy something, buy something, don''t disturb me" Zee said and walked into the ship, the three men walked away as they decided to buy some stuff for themselves, Julian watched Zee and saw him walking towards a woman in the ship and he then took her to the back with a stupid smile on his face. Julian ''Who is this man and why does Cynthia know him? Well he isn''t married so it shouldn''t be a problem, but I don''t get why all that act with that woman in the coffee shop'' Julian thought and walked away, he decided to walk around and see if he can be of help to some of the pokemons here. He cannot save them all because it can be dangerous for them or maybe he can, so Julian started to think of somethings. Chapter 469 - Saving The Pokemons Julian walked back into the market and started to look around. Since he has an hour to look around he decided to do so, the ck market hand many pokemons being sold he had never seen in Sinnoh, some were familiar to him and some were foreign. Julian ''So many of them stolen from their trainers, from the look on their face they don''t like it'' ?? He thought as he saw the saddened face of these pokemons, he alone couldn''t do anything but someone else could do it for him, save these poor little things. He walked to a corner and took out his phone and made a call to his trusted partner Jimi. Jimi "Julian, it has been so long since you called, what do you want?" He asked from the other side of the phone. Julian "Do you know where the Sinnoh''s ck market is?" He asked. Jimi "Yes I do, wait did you destroy it?" He asked in a worried voice, Jimi knows how powerful Julian is and how much he loves pokemon, Jimi also knew that if Julian sees all these captured sad pokemons, he would do something. Julian "I didn''t, well if the timing was right I would have done that" Julian said in a serious voice. Jimi "I see, good, so how is this call rted?" He asked wiping the sweat on his forehead. Julian "Send some people here and buy all these pokemon and free them or send them back to their trainers after finding them" He said. Jimi "I see, Julian you are really kind-hearted, let me help you with this, who knows some of that good karma will benefit me, hahahahaha" Jimi said andughed, Julian could imagine that fat man with few gold teeth smiling ear to ear as he said this, Julian chuckled and ended the call. He knew he could trust Jimi as he is also a good person at heart even though he is very greedy he has the heart to do good unless he doesn''t suffer any loss from them. After putting his phone away Julian mood became a little brighter, he knows Jimi will do something big as he is a big spender even though he is greedy, this is also the reason why he is so rich, his motto is "To make money, I have to spend more money". But he will only spend his money on things that have a sess rate of over 80%. After looking around the ck market for a while he got back to the ship that is supposed to take them to the ind where the Sinnoh underworld is at. The given time is about toe to an end, Zee also seems to have finished his little pleasure time and walked out adjusting his pants, he looked at Julian who is covered in red and started to wonder who this person in red was. Unlike Blue and Green, he didn''t show any interest in the woman in the coffee shop and unlike ck, he was not aggressive, Zee had been keeping an eye on Julian from the start, for some reason he felt a very scary aura around Julian and kept his distance from him. If Julian knew about this he wouldugh awkwardly as he is not responsible for this aura, it is Gengar who is in his shadow, Gengar always releases an aura that keeps hostile and aggressive pokemons away from Julian so that he won''t be bothered by them. Blue, Green, and ck also arrived and this time they had a small bag around their waist, they seem to have bought some stuff from the market. Blue "Yo, how long do we have to wait?" He asked as he looked at Zee who ising down the ship. Zee "We will be leaving any minute now, get into the ship and don''t bother me" He said and walked past them, Zee nced at Julian then walked towards a stall that is very close and bought some cigarettes and got back to the ship, Julian and the others followed him into the ship and waited for it to leave, they didn''t have to wait long, the cargo ship started to move. Zee asked Julian and the others to get into the cargopartment when they are about to enter the ind to avoid any trouble. The ship started to move, this cargo ship is responsible for transporting illegal items and products from the underworld to Sinnoh and vice-versa, Julian looked at the huge sea in front of him and thought about his strategy as the sea breeze blew through him. _____________________ Back at the ck Market suddenly a group of men in purple dresses came rushing into the market riding on powerful jeeps, there were more than 12 jeeps and each jeep had more than 6 men in them, seeing such force the people inside the ck Market got intimidated by them. These men jumped out of their jeeps, each of them had guns with them making them an even feared force, in front of these men was a huge man standing 2.5 meters tall, this man is bulky as hell, his muscles looked like they could crush boulders with them. The group entered the market happily, they had a huge grin on their faces and wereughing loudly, the bulky man in the front was clearly the leader of this huge group. Bulky "Hahahaha, minions, I am in a very happy mood today, go and buy whatever you want, how many you want, I will pay for it, and be sure to ask for discounts" The man said andughed loudly while taking his gun and shooting it in the air, this almost scared everyone in the market. Even though this market is under the protection of the underworld, there is a limit to it, one cannot kill here but anything else is legal, these group of men was not going against the underworld by doing this, the guards around the market didn''t do anything as no trouble was caused. It was only the merchants that are currently having a hard time, they had protection but that didn''t mean they could be threatened. These merchants have their own bodyguards but when they see such a huge group they get intimidated. These men quickly bought everything they put their eyes on, pokemons, rare stones and every expensive thing they could find and on top of that, they were given huge discounts and just in an hour the whole ck market became silent as all the pokemons that were being sold were gone. There were some stones and rare materials left but this group main target was pokemons, they didn''t leave any behind, the merchants were surprised by this but they couldn''t do anything. The couldn''t offend such arge gang as they were illegal merchants, they had no protection outside the ck market, even though they suffered a loss they still got a lot of money today. Little did they know that these men were just actors hired by Jimi to perform this little act, the guns they held were all fake but the sound they made was pretty real. Chapter 470 - Arriving At The Island Julian and the other three soon saw the ind from the ship, they saw many warships around the ind already targeting their ship, Zee walked out from the captain''s cabin and told them to get into the storage room of the ship where all the cargo is stored. Julian nodded and walked away, the others also followed him and went into the cargo storage room, the ship soon entered the vicinity of the ind, the battleships identified the cargo ship and let it enter. ?? After the ship entered it was stopped before it could reach the port, Julian wondered why the ship stopped before it could reach the dock, he decided to hear what was going on outside, he soon heard Zee''s voice along with some other men. Zee "Come on, fast, I don''t have too much time" He said hurried. Man "How many?" A man asked. Zee "Four" Man "40000" Zee "Seriously, isn''t it double than the previous month?" Man "The security of the ce has been upgraded, I am the one risking my life" Zee "Ok, fine, 40000" Man "Good" With that, the conversation ended and the ship started to move again and after five minutes it finally stopped at the dock, Zee soon walked into the cargo room and looked at Julian and the rest. Zee "Get into this container, from here on you will be taken into the maind and be dropped there, everything that happens to you after that is none of my responsibility" He said halfheartedly, he doesn''t seem to care at all. Blue "Oi, what do you mean by you are not responsible for anything that is going to happen to us, aren''t you supposed to get us to the other side safe and sound" He asked and yelled angrily, he tried to charge at Zee trying to smack him but Green held him back, even if Green didn''t hold him back Blue won''t make a move. Zee "I was supposed to get you lot here safe and sound and I did, after this I am not responsible, now get into the container and I will lock it from outside, don''t dy it" He said and yawned. ck walked into the container and so did Julian, the other two also followed behind, Zee then locked the container door from the outside and left, after some time the container that they were in started to move. Julian could tell that they were being carried away in a crane, then into a truck, after 15 minutes of riding the truck arrived at its final stop, the container that Julian and the rest were in was opened. Julian and the rest saw a fat man with a big ck mustache in front of them. "So four of you huh, better disappear from here quickly, no one knows what will happen to you if guards patrolling this area found you" Julian and the rest got off the container and on the ground, he looked around and saw sand everywhere, this area seems to be near the seashore, the beach was nearby and on the other side is dry mountains, Julian realized that this ind is a lotrger than he expected, maybe even bigger than the ind on which Stark Mountain is situated. The fat man drove away in his truck leaving them behind, the four looked at each other and decided to go their separate ways. Julian didn''t bother to talk to them at all, now that he is inside, he needs to find his way into the main area of this ind where most of the things take ce, he decided to go towards the mountains. The three just watched as Julian started to move, they nodded at each other and soon went their ways, on his way Julian encountered a guard moving around the area, he quickly knocked the guard out and took some of his stuff like his key card and some kind of currency. Julian ''Looks like this is the currency used here'' He thought. He also got some key cards and identity cards which he took, after stealing the guard''s possession he asked Gengar to wipe the guard''s memory about him being knocked out and forcing him to believe that he misced his belongings somewhere else. This kind of stuff is too easy for Gengar to do and it didn''t take even a minute to do so, Gengar had tapped more into few of his moves like Dream Eater, to power to feed on dreams and defeat his enemy, with that base he started to get the hand of controlling one''s mind. He continued his way towards the mountains, on his way he noticed something else as well, it was three people following him carefully, too bad their skills are nothingpared to Julian, he had spotted them from the start, the three who were following him started to follow him right after he knocked out the guard and took his belongings. Julian knew these three, it was none other than Blue, Green, and ck. Julian finally arrived at the mountains, these mountains seem to be deserted, he saw few pokemons which were above average in strength but they fled in a hurry when they sensed Gengar''s presence. It''s been half an hour but the three have not shown their face yet, Julian wondered what these men are after and why they are following him. Chapter 471 - The Real Mole Julian wondered why these three were following him for so long. Julian ''Maybe they are after the things I took from that patrolling guard'' ?? He thought and continued, once he reached a certain ce inside the mountains where there seems to be nothing around, all things were blocked by the mountains preventing people from seeing what is going on inside. This can be a perfect ce tomit murder and no one will know about it, Julian noticed that the three who are following him started to speed up and got closer to him. Since he got annoyed by this he stopped and turned around and looked at the direction where the three are currently hiding. Julian "Juste out, this is getting boring" Julian said and rubbed his forehead with his finger, annoyed by being followed by these three, seeing that Julian had noticed them the three came out. Blue, Green, and ck, they slowly circled Julian while holding their pokeballs in their hand. Julian "What is the meaning of this?" He asked. Green "Look, bro, he can speak, looks like he was looking down on us before" He said andughed. Blue "This bastard, I knew it, too bad he won''t live long" He said angrily ck "Finish him off, we still have other things to do" He said coldly. Hearing them Julian was surprised, he didn''t expect these idiots were actually nning to kill him. He had not noticed any killing instinct from them before but now they are suddenly bursting with it, Julian realized that these three were much more experienced than he thought. They were able to hide their desire even though they acted like idiots, well except ck the other two are idiots, that is what Julian thought at least. Julian "What is this, trying to kill me, aren''t you afraid of the League?" He asked. Blue "Hahahaha, League you say? The League won''t do shit, even if you die no one would care, we can just say that you got killed by one of the Underworld guards" He said. Julian "Are you sure about that, did you forget who assigned me this task?" Julian asked. Green "Hehehehe, just because the champion chose you don''t think you are important, and if you were important to the Champion she wouldn''t have sent you into this suicide mission" He said andughed louder while holding his stomach. Julian "If this is a suicide mission why are you here?" Julian asked as he got curious, these idiots im that this is a suicide mission but they are certainly very calm and on top of that they are trying to kill him for no reason. Blue "Of course our life is not in danger, we are sent here by the Chief" He said andughed. Hearing this Julian raised his brows in surprise. Julian ''What did he mean by Chief sent him, does the Chief have some connections here, if that was true why didn''t he tell us about it before?'' Julian thought. Green "Hehe, even though I cannot see his face I am definitely sure that he is surprised. Since he is going to die anyway why don''t we tell him the truth" He said and chuckled. ck didn''t say anything and just stood still, while Blue is getting excited. Blue "Why not, hahaha, you idiot, you thought that the Chief of the League headquarters works for the league? Not at all, he is the real spy, he has been working for the underworld from the very beginning, when he heard that Cynthia is also about to send one of her own men he told us to eliminate you once we get inside. You idiot, you had no idea what is happening don''t you" Blue said andughed. Julian, on the other hand, was really surprised, he had not expected that the Chief was the culprit all along, in front of Julian he always acted like a simple man and managed to fool himpletely. And he seems to be fooling the whole league for years. Julian ''Hmm, this is troublesome, he has been acting all alone, he yed everyone, him at that hospital was also an act, trying to use the doctor and the nurse to cover himself and sessfully dodged from the radar, then he seems to have put the me on someone else to clear everything, nobody suspected him from the start. He had even nned to kill Cynthia but seeing that I have some rtionship with her, he decided to cancel that n, he has been helping Cyrus from the shadow as well, that bastard'' Julian finally figured out what has happened, the Chief who he thought was a simple man had yed him, he was an expert, blending in with the good ones and expert in acting like one as well, no one would have suspected him. This is also the reason why he is in such a high position. Julian ''I think I should get rid of these idiots before doing anything else'' Julian thought and took out his Pokeball. Green "Look at him trying to fight back, does he thinks he can take us all?" Blue "He is an idiot, let''s kill him then get back to what we are supposed to do" ck "Enough talk, get ready" With ck''smand, the three of them brought their pokemons out of their pokemon ready to kill Julian. Chapter 472 - Attempt To Kill The three sent out their pokemons, ck sent out a Drapion, Blue sent out a Bisharp, and Green sent out a Krookodile, Julian looked at these pokemon and was confident enough to take them down without using his old pokemon. Julian sent out his Pokemon, his Garchomp came out of the Pokeball and stood in front of the three pokemon, ring at them with the desire to battle. ?? It''s been a while since Garchomp had battled someone who is not from Julian''s team, he looked at the three pokemon in front of him, one is Poison/Dark (Drapion), one is a Steel/Dark (Bisharp), and thest one is a Ground/Dark (Krookodile) None of them could inflict powerful damage on him with just their typing, but Garchomp has moves to deal with all of these pokemon. Blue "Oi, oi, oi, just one pokemon, you are still underestimating us? You bastard, don''t you understand you are going to die?" He said while making an ugly face, this man is really pissing of Julian as he talks the most bullshit. Julian "Shut up you idiot, make your move" He felt like he would lose his brain cells if he listened to these idiots ranting anymore. Blue "Bisharp, attack his Garchomp, use Night sh" His Bisharp charged at Garchomp using Night sh, the de on its arms were covered in dark energy ready to pierce Garchomp. Julian "Garchomp, block it, then use Take Down" Garchomp showed his sharp fangs and grinned, as the Bisharp shed using Night sh, Garchomp blocked it with his own fin andpletely nullified it, he then crossed his hands and got a tight grip right around Bisharp''s neck. As his forearms pressed against''s Bisharp''s neck, his fins pinned Bisharp''s neck from the back, making it impossible for Bisharp to escape, it hung in the air as Garchomp lifted it up, it tried to struggle out but was of no use. Garchomp then mmed it on the ground using Take Down, Bisharp let out a loud ground as it felt the pressure exerted on its neck, it fainted on the spot as it hit the ground. Seeing this all of them were shocked, Bisharp is no pushover but it got put down as if it was nothing. ck "He is no pushover, don''t underestimate him, attack together" ck gave his order. Blue called his Bisharp back to its Pokeball and quickly sent out his next pokemon, a Shiftry. And all of them attacked once. ck called out Pin Missiles, Green called out Crunch and Blue called out Leaf de, all three of them attacked at once. Julian "Use protect" Garchomp created a forcefield and blocked all the attacks but during this exchange, Julian noticed something, ck finally targeted him, ck thought that Julian is distracted so he charged at Julian from the side using a dagger, as the dagger was about to get close to Julian''s neck, he grabbed his wrist. This shocked ck as his wrist was grabbed before the attack could hit, he suddenly let go of the dagger, it fell down and ck grabbed the dagger again with his other hand and tried to pierce Julian''s stomach but his other hand was also grabbed. Julian "Maybe you could have killed anyone with those skills but not me" Julian said and suddenly kneed ck''s check sending him flying backward, ck held his chest in pain and coughed some blood, his rib cage has been fractured and he cannot move, he is having a hard time breathing. As he was thinking what to do next he suddenly saw two red eyes in his own shadow staring at him, it gave him chills, fear ran through his mind and heart but it was toote. Before he could warn the others he was already taken to the other side by Gengar. Blue and Green didn''t notice this at all as their pokemons were being single-handedly taken down by Garchomp, he suddenly used Earthquake and took out all three of those pokemon, where they got knocked out they looked around and saw ck was nowhere to be around. Blue "Where has he gone" Blue eximed and looked around, Green also got startled and started to look around trying to find ck, their pokemons have been knocked out and they have nothing to fight back, they looked at Julian for answers but Julian didn''t react. Blue suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed at Julian. Blue "You bastard, I will kill you" He shouted. Julian "Bad move, you can''t do anything, and because of you idiots I am able to find the mole in the League, so your life wasn''t so useless" Julian said. Blue and Green are confused because they couldn''t exin how ck has disappeared, as they wondered about this, they suddenly felt something grabbing their leg, they looked down in fear and saw a ck shadow and from that shadow came out two hands grabbing onto each of their legs and it started to drag them into the shadow. They screamed in horror but nothing could be done. Once they were put away Julian sighed and called Garchomp back to his Pokeball, he had done well taking out all those pokemons. Chapter 473 - Destination Reached After getting rid of those three he looked at the fainted pokemons on the ground, he couldn''t just leave these powerful pokemon running wild around here, and with the teachings from their trainers, Julian knew these pokemon won''t do any good. So he had to let Gengar take care of it, Gengar erased their memories of their trainer and made them normal pokemons, Julian did the same to other pokemons that the three had, erasing their memory of their trainers. ?? He then put the pokeballs away, once he gets back to the maind he will release them in the wild, these pokemons are strong enough to survive on their own, Julian has been doing this from the very beginning. He couldn''t let these men get away so he sent them into Gengar''s dimension, he will release them afterward but for now, they will be held captive by Gengar. He continued towards the other end of the mountain, after walking for an hour he finally saw the city below, from the edge of the cliff he is standing on, the city he is looking at looked like any normal city from the top but many things happened in this city, he saw tall skyscrapers and many tall buildings, in the center of the city, is a veryrge building, it''s not the tallest but the biggest. Julian noticed snipers on the top roaming around on the top of the building, he also noticed a lot of military vehicles around the building as well. Julian ''That must be the main headquarters I guess, but my biggest question is why would there be a city where illegal activities are being held, who lives here?'' He questioned himself and started to move, the city is nearby but he still has to be careful, he cannot be caught while he is outside the city as guards would be patrolling the area constantly. He continued in his path but watched his steps, there are many mines ced around and if he stepped on them they would explode, dodging the guard''s field of vision and getting into the city is hard, since he cannot get through the main get, he has to climb a wall from the side, after camping around for a while he found a wall that isn''t being guarded, he quickly climbed up the wall and entered the city, he watched his steps and didn''t make any sounds, the guards were still around but none of them noticed Julian. He quickly found and group and blended in and got into the main area of the city, he looked around and was surprised by the surrounding, people are living normal lives here, there are even stores and market stalls around the city where people bought stuff. There seem to be homes inhabited by people but Julian noticed one thing, in particr, there were no men above the age of 16 in these houses and markets, most of them are upied by children and women, after roaming around for a while Julian found out that all men that live in this city will have to join the guards once they reach 16 and their family will be taken care of by the main government here, their family will be given minimum wage but if they want to earn more money they have to get a license to sell things that will be imported into the city. To get the license they have to work under someone for experience as well, seeing this Julian wondered who these people are and why are they living on this ind where they are not allowed to leave at all, they are like prisoners but they seem to have some rights. Guards seem to have the most authority in this city, even normal rank guards can put his weight around and make rich men in this city work. The guards of this city seem to be divided by some kind of rank, they are titled like any normal army, from normal soldier tomanders. Some of the richest people in this city seem to bemanders as well, the currency that Julian took from that guard was useful to him, he decided to rest of the day in a local inn. The more Julian roamed around the city the more unreal he felt, even though this city is just like any other city he has visited, he cannot believe that a city like this exists under the rule of the underworld. After getting a room for himself, he closed all the door and windows and looked around the room to see if there are any hidden cameras inside the wall to spy on people, after searching for a while he found none, he even ordered his system to do a quick scan to see if he has missed anything. After finding nothing and confirming that he is not being spied on he sat on the wooden bed and started to think his steps. This city is more impressive than he thought, it has inns, hotels, restaurant, and other stuff, he also learned that this city always has visitors all around the year from different ces. The people of this city don''t know from where these peoplee from but they don''t dare to ask as it seems dangerous. Julian ''I will rest for the day and continue tomorrow'' He thought and decided to rest and left Gengar on the watch. Chapter 474 - Entering The Main Building A new day and Julian has had his rest, after waking up early he made some preparation and headed out. Before he walked out he looked into any information present in the mind of the three he captured yesterday, through Gengar''s help he could easily read into the mind of the people that Gengar has captured. He found out that the current Chief of the League headquarters in Sinnoh is a sleeper working for the Underworld, he lived his young life in this city then he was sent to Sinnoh to live the life of a normal person and slowly get into the top. ?? The Chief is a very capable person and the leaders of the Sinnoh underworld knew about it, that is why he was selected and they were right, Chief seeded in getting himself on the top by doing hard work and some backhanded methods that no one knew about it. He also found out what these three are up to here in this ind, the Chief has ordered them to meet some officials here on the ind and get something from them, Julian doesn''t know what it is but this could be his way to find out where Cyrus is currently hiding. Luckily for him, these three are not known to the people here on the ind, their only way ofmunicating is through the secret word "Pastor", now that Julian has it he can use it to get into the headquarters. After thinking through what he is going to do, Julian finally walked out of the inn and headed out, it was the same scene as yesterday, young males below the age of 16 were helping their mother, brothers, and sisters in their work, after looking around the city he also found out that everyone who is here is either a descendant of fugitives or are fugitives of other regions or countries. Since they have nowhere to go they are taken in here and make them work, this way the underworld is able to function much better. Seeing this Julian didn''t know what to say, most of the people living here seem happy but they are still living in constant fear of offending someone from the main government without knowing. They have some rights but are limited, they cannot do anything but listen and follow the orders from the officials, since they are refugees they cannot say, do or go against the officials, they live under suppression but for some reason, they are all living normal lives. Through the information that Julian got from the ck and the others, he arrived at the east side of the main building, this seems to be the ce where ck and the others were about toe, the opposition didn''t know who or how many wereing so Julian is safe and he also knew the secret word so passing through would be no problem. When he arrived there some guards rushed towards him and pointed their gun at him. Guard "Hands behind your head, who are you? Why are you here?" The guard shouted while shoving the barrel of his gun on Julian''s chest, Julian didn''t do anything, he raised his hand and just stared at the guard who shoved his gun at him. Guard "Speak" He shouted once again. Julian "I was sent by the snake" Julian said. Snake is the code word for the Chief, not everyone knew who this Snake in real life is but the guards were instructed by their superiors that if someone sent by the code name "Snake" came, they had to let them in, this was also something Julian learned from going through the mind of ck, he was the only one who seems to have this information. If he hadn''t seen through all of their memory and find some key part of this mission he would have been riddled by bullets now, well if the bullets could hurt him. Hearing the word "Snake" the guards put their guns down and looked at Julian. Guard "Wait here, I will inform my superior" The guard said and walked away while the others are still keeping an eye on Julian, the people on this ind never trust the people from outside, seeing how Julian is dressed they could easily tell that this person in front of them is from outside, even his ent is differentpared to the people living here. The Guard that had gone to call his superior soon came back with another person beside him, this person has white hair and white beard, this person is standing tall and has some kind of charismatic aura around him. Guard "Lieutenant, that''s him" The Guard said while pointing his gun at Julian, the Lieutenant who seems to be in his 50s looked at Julian and nodded. Lieutenant "Come with me" He said and started to walk back, Julian silently followed behind him while looking around, there seems to be nothing special around here, they soon arrived at a door which is locked, the Lieutenant turned around and stared at Julian. Lieutenant "How is the church doing?" He suddenly asked a question out of the blue which made no sense, well it would have made no sense if Julian didn''t understand it. Julian "It''s doing fine, the Pastor is currently sick, once he gets better everything will be even better" Julian said. The Lieutenant nodded and ced his hand on a screen next to the door which scanned his hand and the door slowly opened revealing the interiors. Chapter 475 - Meeting Cyrus As the door opened Julian finally saw the inside of the main building or the underworld''s headquarters here in Sinnoh, he saw guards roaming around the building withrge guns in their arms, ready to riddle someone with their bullets as soon as they get an order. He also saw powerful pokemons following these guards as a backup, guns are dangerous but pokemon are more dangerous. If they want to kill they can kill. If they don''t want to kill they won''t kill, pokemons have the ability to makes these decisions. ?? Pokemons in the wild hunt each other, attack each other intending to kill and pray upon, on the other hand when they battle the don''t attack to kill but their moves still have the power to cause physical damage without them being fatal to life. For the past century, humans have developed the most powerful weapon and that is to control pokemons in one way or the other, most of them don''t even realize just how much power they have in their hands. People in normal cities get scared when they see a gun but they don''t realize that they had a weapon that is more dangerous than a gun, the same cute little thing that is by their side, luckily they have emotions and ability to differentiate between good and bad depending on the teachings of their trainer. Lieutenant "Follow me, don''t wander off" He said and continued walking forward, Julian followed right behind him while keeping an eye on everything that is happening around, this ce seems to be the center area of the building connecting to every part of the building. He saw some workers running around and doing their job, there are also some big screens around disying some type of statistics that Julian didn''t understand. The Lieutenant soon took him to a huge room filled with chairs and a huge table and there were four people sitting there, Julian looked at them and stayed silent but inside him was a surge of emotions. One of the men sitting there was none other than Cyrus. Julian didn''t expect to meet Cyrus so easily but he has to stay calm now, but that doesn''t mean he cannot do anything else. Gengar is already on the work, he quickly went into Cyrus''s shadow and kept a watch on him. Lieutenant "I have brought the man sent by the snake" He said in a t tone. The four people who are sitting on the chairs looked at Julian, his face full covered but it didn''t matter to them, it is best for everybody. The man who is sitting in the main chair raised his eyebrows and tried to read Julian carefully by his bodynguage but he got nothing, proving him that Julian is gifted in hiding his nature. "Only one?" The man asked after finishing his evaluation. Julian "I am more than enough" Julian said in a confident tone. "Good, confident, I like it, Cyrus you take over from here, our meeting is over" The man said and got up from his chair and so did the other two, only Cyrus is left sitting, the three men walked away leaving the room. Now only Julian, Cyrus, and the Lieutenant. Cyrus "Sit down, we need to talk about your mission and Lieutenant, please leave us alone" Cyrus said and asked the Lieutenant to leave and so he did, without speaking a word he left the room leaving Julian and Cyrus alone. Julian sat down on a chair and looked at Cyrus, he wondered what this mission could be, why did the chief send three men to take care of this. Cyrus "You might be wondering why are you here and what is your mission?" Cyrus asked as he yed with a paperweight in his hand, he has a slight smirk on his face stating that he is up to no good. Julian nods his head in response trying to get more answers from Cyrus. Cyrus "Good, I will give you something, you have to take it to Mt. Cor, that is all" Cyrus said. Julian "What is it?" He asked. Mt. Cor has been rted to everything that is happening in Sinnoh and now Cyrus seems to be nning something huge. Cyrus "You don''t need to know about it, you just need to do what has been told to do" Cyrus said. Julian "Ok, so when will I be leaving?" Julian asked. Cyrus "Today itself, wait here, I will bring it, once you are out of here, go straight to Mt. Cor and ce it on the top, near the Spear Pir" He said and started tough loudly, hisugh echoed like a maniac''s, Julian got sick by seeing that expression on Cyrus''s face but he held it inside him, not letting it out, this is a crucial moment, he cannot risk revealing his identity right now. Cyrus soon got up and walked out of the room and Gengar followed right in his shadow without Cyrus''s notice. Chapter 476 - Rescuing Uxie (1) Julian watched through the eyes of Gengar, he saw Cyrus''s back as he slowly walked towards an elevator, Cyrus ced his palm on the screen next to the elevator door, after the screen scanned his palm the elevator door opened wide, as he walked into the elevator, the door closed and another screen was revealed. It came out right out of the wall, Cyrus ced his hand on top of it and it started to scan, next an iris scanner came out of the wall, he ced his eyes in front of it and let it scan, next a number pad came out, it was like any other number pad on an elevator but this was slightly different from others. ?? This number pad had unique buttons on them, these buttons or floors are only essible to the person who has been registered for it. Cyrus pressed on of the unique buttons and the elevator started to go down, at first it was going down at a normal speed, but then it suddenly started to free-fall at a very high speed, Cyrus held onto the steel pole on the side to not fall, the speed of the elevator increased but after a few seconds it started to slow down till it finally stopped. Cyrus felt a little dizzy but after standing still for a few seconds it went away, the elevator door opened and the room was revealed. Julian saw the room from Gengar''s perspective, it is dark but he could see everything, the room is very big and spacious, there seems to be a lot of apparatus around the room, Cyrus walked into the room and turned the lights and the main power on. The whole room lit up and Julian was finally able to see everything clearly and he could also see his goal, right in the middle of the room, inside a capsule filled with some liquid was Uxie. It had wires attached to its forehead, it seems unconscious. He saw a thin tube running into one of its arms, it looks like Cyrus is feeding it though that tube while also keeping it sedated. Julian ''This bastard'' Julian got angry but he couldn''t do anything, he has to let Gengar handle this, for now, he saw Cyrus walked towards Uxie, Cyrus stood in front of it admiring the beauty of it. Cyrus "Hahahahah...hahahahahahah.......hahahahahahahahahah" He started tough like a maniac as he admired the sleeping Uxie. Cyrus "My beautiful Uxie, I couldn''t catch your siblings but I was able to collect enough from you alone, my dream of a perfect world is very close, hahahaha, just a few more steps and I will finally be living in the perfect world, hahahahaha" He started to talk rubbish again, Julian sighed as he heard this, this man is an idiot, first, he had to stop the clones of Dialga and Palkia, then he had to stop that mutated Hydreigon and now he has to take care of Cyrus. Cyrus "Rest well my dear, soon a perfect world will be created so you and your siblings can start anew, THE PERFECT WORLD, HAHAHAHAHAHA" Heughed again. Julian ''I think he is a psychopath'' He thought. Gengar is also getting bored by now. Cyrus then walked to the side, there is another capsule, Julian didn''t notice this before because he was concentrated on Uxie, Cyrus stood in front of another capsule and inside this capsule seems to be a device that was glowing. Julian didn''t know what it was but this thing seems dangerous for some reason, Cyrus pulled a leaver and the capsule was opened, the device floated down andnded on a tform, suddenly small rectangle tes covered it from the sides and sealed it inside. Cyrus grabbed the sealed box by the handle on top and chuckled. Cyrus "This thing has enough power to aplish my goal, once it''s done, the perfect world will be upon us and I will be its ruler" He said and started to walk back, this time Gengar stayed back in the room, in the shadows waiting for Cyrus to go away, once he saw Cyrus get into the elevator, he approached the capsule in which Uxie is being held, since he could easily phase through any object, it was not much of a problem for him to get in contact with Uxie. But he didn''t take any action, for now, he is currently waiting for Julian''s instruction, Julian doesn''t know what might happen if Gengar tried to take away Uxie now, it can release an rm that would alert everyone in the building and he will be the prime suspect but he didn''t care about that, he has the power to break through this base with no effort, what he wants right now is that box that Cyrus is holding. Once he gets that, he doesn''t care what happens to this building at all. Julian stayed in the room waiting for Cyrus to return, well he didn''t have to wait for long as Cyrus walked into the room and ced it in front of him. Cyrus "Take this and leave, you know what to do right? take it to Mt. Cor and just put it there" Cyrus said. Julian didn''t say anything and took the box, as he did he gave Gengar the permission to go. Chapter 477 - Rescuing Uxie (2) Gengar who is waiting in the darkroom right in front of the capsule where Uxie is sleeping got Julian''s message, as soon as he heard Julian''s voice Gengar made his move, he easily passed through the capsule and released Uxie from the cables and tubes attached to it. After freeing Uxie, Gengar opened up the gateway to his dimension and took Uxie in and disappeared into the shadows, as soon as Uxie disappeared an rm went off, the whole room turned red. ?? The same thing is happening outside this room as well, the whole building fell in chaos as they try to figure out what happened, inside the conference room Julian got the box and got up from the chair and was ready to leave when the rm suddenly went off. Julian ''Guess I was right, taking Uxie would alert others'' He thought and looked at Cyrus, Cyrus seems to have a huge frown on his face as he looked at the watch in his wrist. Cyrus "SHIT" Julian "What happened?" Julian asked. Cyrus "Nothing, you get out" He said and rushed out of the room in a hurry. Julian "Time to leave" He said and walked out of the room. Since no one stopped him he just walked out of the building with the box in his hand, as he got out of the building Gengar went into his shadow and no one noticed. Julian has sessfully saved Uxie and it''s time to get out, once he has done putting Uxie back into Lake Acuity and once that is done Cyrus will be taken care of. He decided to leave, after finding a ce where not many people were around he took out his Pokeball and called out Garchomp, Garchomp came out and roared causing the few people who were around to get scared and look at Julian. Julian sighed and got annoyed by Garchomp, he thinks that whenever hees out he should be ready for a battle, he is a battle manic and Julian couldn''t do anything about that, it was Garchomp''s nature, he was like this from the moment he was born, during his childhood and even now as an adult but he is still a child in heart. Julian "You idiot, don''t roar for no reason" Julian said and smacked Garchomp''s head embarrassed, the people who were around looked at him, scared, it is very rare to see Garchomp around the city, only powerful and influential people in this city were capable of training a powerful pokemon like Garchomp, they thought that Julian might be one of the executives of the government, they quickly left because they didn''t want to hang around here. Soon Julian and Garchomp are left alone. Julian "Let''s go" He said and climbed on top of Garchomp''s back and asked him to fly away, Garchomp nodded and flew up, Garchomp is finally able to fly and he can fly fast, a wild Garchomp can fly over 500 mph, their body is made to fly, they are very aerodynamic. Garchomp''s speed is blinding but he has to slow down as Julian is riding him, as they flew on top of the sky, Julian suddenly saw bullets flying past them, he then heard gunshots, he looked down and saw some guards shooting that them. Julian realized that no one can fly on this ind, not even high rankings officials are allowed to fly. Julian "Use protect and keep flying" He gave the order. Garchomp nodded and used protect surrounding him and Julian with a forcefield and flying away, the bullets couldn''t touch them and they escaped from the ind leaving it behind. Back in the main building things are going crazy as they heard the report that Uxie has disappeared from its capsule, everyone is running around the building searching for it. Cyrus is panicking while kneeling down in front of the empty capsule. Cyrus "How could it be, it was right here, sleeping peacefully, where did it go, I have to find it put it back in here, it should go out in that horrible dangerous world, it shouldn''t be allowed to see that disgusting world, it is a perfect being created by the God, I cannot allow that to happen, I have to find it" Cyrus babbled in a low tone, like a maniac, hands on his face with exposed bloodshot eyes, contracted pupils, he is going mad, he gets back to his feet and rushes out of the room and get into the elevator, when he arrives at the main floor he sees everyone running staring at the huge screen. Cyrus "WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY AREN''T YOU IDIOTS SEARCHING FOR UXIE" He shouted out of his lungs scaring everyone in the room, a guard rushed towards him and lowered his head in fear. Guard "Sir, someone flew away from the ind on a Garchomp, we couldn''t stop it at all" He said. Cyrus "What? Who is it?" He asked grabbing onto the guard''s shoulder and shaking his violently. Guard "That man" The Guard said and pointed at the screen, Cyrus lifted his head and looked at the screen, he saw a bottom view of a big Garchomp racing through the sky and on top of it is a man wearing red cloths, fulling covering his body from head to toe. Cyrus "ITS HIM, where is he now?" Cyrus red at the guard like a mad man scaring the guard in the process. Guard "Sir, he escaped, our bullets couldn''t prate that Pokemons defense" He said scared and his voice broken from fear, the guard knew that he couldn''t do anything if Cyrus decided to bully him in anger, in this ind, the more power you have the invincible you are and Cyrus is one of the most powerful men in this ind, he is the fourth-highest person in this ind. Chapter 478 - Zandar Cyrus is going mad as he sees Julian escaping on top of Garchomp. Cyrus "But how? He was with me the whole time, how did he get Uxie, he was with me when the rm went off, it shouldn''t be possible, there''s no way" ?? Cyrus said in denial. Cyrus "Then why did he make an escape, if he is not guilty he shouldn''t have done that" He said and looked at the guard for some answers. Guard "I don''t know sir" He said, covered in sweat, fearing that his life is about to end in Cyrus''s hand. Cyrus "YOU IDIOT, YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT" Cyrus shouted angrily and pped the guard with the back of his hand, the guard fell on the ground and the hat he was wearing went flying, the guard didn''t say anything and justid on the ground, his cheeks hurt but he didn''t do anything. Cyrus "You good for nothing idiot, why are you even alive, you are a guard, you are supposed to guard this ce, how can my precious Uxie disappear, how did it get stolen" He shouted and started to stomp on the guard, the guard crouched and covered his head to protect it, the others in the room just looked at him in pity, the guard''s friends just gritted their teeth and clinched their fist, they couldn''t do anything to Cyrus, they just had to stand there and look at him hitting their friend. "STOP" Suddenly a loudmanding voice was heard, everyone in the room went stiff as they looked up, on top of the staircase that leads to the upper floor was a man in his fifties, behind him were few guards carrying very powerful guns, this man was the same person Julian saw in the conference room, the head of this building, the head of the Sinnoh underworld. Cyrus stopped his stomping and looked at the old man. Cyrus "Zandar, don''t get involved in this" He said with a frown on his face. Zandar "What did you say?" Zandar asked. Cyrus "I said don''t get involved" He said and growled, Zandar looked coldly at Cyrus and started to walk down the stairs and got right in front of Cyrus, he then looked at the guard who is still on the ground, his uniform covered in dust and footprint. Zandar "You, get up" Zandar ordered him, the guard slowly got back to his feet and stood straight in front of Zandar. Zandar "Punch him as hard as you can on his stomach" Zandar said in a t tone, hearing this the guard was stunned, he didn''t know what to do. Guard "What?" Cyrus "What?" Both of them asked in surprise. Zandar ignored Cyrus and looked at the guard. Zandar "Didn''t you hear me, should I repeat myself?" He asked in a cold tone, the guard shivered and looked at Cyrus and he suddenly punched Cyrus in the stomach, very hard. Cyrus grunted in pain as he felt the guard''s fist twist his stomach, the guard is not an average man, he has been training in martial arts and the art of hand to handbat from the day he enrolled so his punches would hurt a lot. The guard enjoyed this. Since his influence is low he couldn''t go against Cyrus but now that Zandar has ordered him to hit Cyrus he could easily do it, as Zandar is the highest-ranking individual in this room so he had nothing to worry. Zandar "Good, now get lost" He said and sent the guard away, the guard didn''t waste any time and ran off. Cyrus looked furiously at the guard while holding his stomach, he then stared at Zandar with cold eyes. Zandar "Keep that re to yourself, just because you fund our organization, doesn''t mean that you get to talk to me in equal standing, your privileges end with our protection of you from the League, all that money you have donated to us has been spent by you getting our protection and getting this position, just keep in mind that you are nothing here without you money so keep your mouth in limit and don''t even think of talking to me on equal terms" Zandar whispered it in Cyrus''s ear, Cyrus is filled with rage but he didn''t say anything, he kept silent, he knew now is not the time to act rashly. Zandar "Now, report me what happened?" He asked. Cyrus "Uxie has been stolen from us by that man who was sent by the snake, well that is what we believe" He said grunting from pain while holding his stomach. Zandar "What do you mean?" He asked with a frown. Cyrus "When the rm went off that man was right in front of me so there is no way he could have kidnapped Uxie, but he suddenly made an escape on a Garchomp and flew away in a hurry" Cyrus said. Hearing this Zandar raised his eyebrows in suspicion. Zandar "Any sigh of breaking in into the room?" Cyrus "No, I was thest one there, when I came back the rm suddenly went off" Cyrus said Zandar "I see, it must be a pokemon then. When you went it, it followed you but why didn''t anything detect it, even ghost type pokemons can''t escape our scanners" Zandar said and frowned. Cyrus "That''s what I am wondering, how is this even possible, there is no sign of anything that is out of order, even the capsule is not broken, Uxie just disappeared" Cyrus said, annoyed. Zandar "Did you consider the possibility for Uxie escaping by itself, it can use Teleport, a pokemon of that level can easily teleport to wherever it wants" He said and questioned Cyrus. Cyrus "It''s no possible, Uxie has been sedated and put in a deep sleep, there is no way it can teleport" He said firmly, believing in himself. Zandar "Hmm, let''s go" He said andmanded his bodyguards and walked away. Cyrus "That''s it, you are not going to look into it?" Zandar "I don''t have time to take care of your shit, Uxie is your project, I don''t care" He said and walked away. Cyrus didn''t say anything, he just red at Zandar''s back angrily. Cyrus ''Just you wait, I will fucking kill you when I am done with this current situation'' He thought and walked the other way. Chapter 479 - Panic Zandar soon walked back to his office and sat down on his chair and looked at turned on the screen in his room, he looked at the footage of Julian escaping on his Garchomp. "What do you think?" ?? Zandar heard a voice from behind, he turned around and saw a man in his forties, ck hair, lean muscles, and a brown eye patch over his left eye, this man is another person that Julian saw in the room, he is the third-ranking official in this ind, Dhrago. Zandar "I don''t know, this Cyrus is acting up as his influence in the inner circle is getting higher, but now things might change, Uxie has disappeared, this means it can bring his downfall, I don''t know why my little brother bother with Cyrus, just giving him protection was fine, he even gave him a seat here" Zandar said and grumbled. Dhrago "I don''t know what your brother thinks but let''s forget about it now, what do we do with Uxie, can you track this person down?" He asked as he looked at the screen as well, he had a frown on his face, it is not easy to steal a pin form this building but now they suspect this person to have stolen a legendary pokemon that they have been keeping under high security. Zandar "Any footage found?" He asked. Dhrago "None, the only thing that could be seen on the footage is the unplugging of the wires and tubes, then Uxie suddenly disappears under a dark light" He says. Zandar "I see, things are getting weird, at first when Cyrus came here and imed to have Uxie with him I didn''t believe him but he showed it to me, so I agreed to my brother''s request to take in Cyrus and give him a power position here, Cyrus is hiding something, he ims that he wants to brainwash Uxie and use it as a weapon but there is something else going on, he is hiding things from all of us" Zandar said in a worried tone. Dhrago "Your brother is not the sharpest, he gets tricked and Cyrus took advantage of him, you could do nothing" Zandar "Well I thought I could get rid of Cyrus and take control over Uxie once he is done but it looks like things are not going as nned, this man came out of nowhere and took Uxie away" Even though it sounds absurd that a man who didn''t move a muscle was able to take away something that was behind several defensive walls but they had no other exnation, and with this man escaping as such they could only me him, if this man had not escaped like this they wouldn''t have any idea what had happened, they would have thought that Uxie just returned to consciousness and escaped, Zandar also didn''t understand why this man left in such a hurry. Zandar "Look into the recent illegal exports into our ind, find out everything at all cost" Zandar ordered. Dhrago nodded and walked away. ____________________ Inside Cyrus room he is throwing everything in fits of rage, there are broken tables and sses everywhere. Cyrus "How? How? How? how can this happen, my beautiful Uxie, whoever took you I will kill them, I will kill everyone that is rted to that person.....Snake, Snake sent that man, I need to call snake" Cyrus said and rushed towards the telephone and made a call to the maind Sinnoh. _____________________ Inside the league headquarters, inside the chief''s room, the chief is sitting in his chair smoke a cigar and drinking wine while looking at some images of hot women in bikini on hisputer, suddenly his telephone rang and startled him. Chief ''Who would call me at my free time'' He thought and picked the phone. Cyrus "SNAKE, you fucker, who did you send?" When the chief heard the yelling, it scared him, he didn''t expect someone to scream at him right from the get-go, he frowned and looked at the phone in his hand, he clearly heard ''snake'' and he recognized the voice from the other end. Chief "Cyrus, what the fuck, you know you cannot call me right?" He said in a low, concerned voice Cyrus "Fuck you, you mother fucker, who the fuck did you send, that bastard took away Uxie with him" Cyrus yelled. Chief "What are you talking about, I sent three men for the job" The chief said. Cyrus "What did you say? Then who was he, he knew the code as well" Cyrus said. Chief "I sent, three men you do whatever you had nned to do, unless....." He said and stopped. Cyrus "Unless what?" Chief "What was he like? that man" Cyrus "He was wearing all red" When Chief heard this, his eyes contracted and he felt endangered. Chief "Shit, shit, shit" He started to panic. Cyrus "What? What happened?" Chief "That man, he is one of the Champion''s men, I asked those three to kill him off before they meet you but it looks like the opposite happened, if that is true then that man needs to die before he gets here and inform Cynthia about me" The Chief said and started to panic. Cyrus "What? Cynthia, that bitch, it''s that bitch again, I want her dead, I will kill her" Cyrus started to yell in anger. Chief "Shut up and leave me alone, I need to make a run for my life" The Chief said and put his phone away and mmed the table. Chief ''All these years of work has gone down the drain, it''s all because of that bitch, she wanted her own men in this bullshit, one thing that Cyrus said is true, Cynthia needs to die but doing that would cause another huge problem, no one is capable of handling that monster'' The chief thought and sat down helplessly on his chair. Chief ''No, she needs to die, it''s much better this way, if she finds out I will die, but if she is dead I can at leaste up with something to stop that man'' He thought and started to rack his brain for answers. Chapter 480 - Kind Crystal While the Chief was racking his brain to think of something that could eliminate the current threat, Julian is flying at high speed on top of Garchomp, with his speed, Julian didn''t have to wait much longer as he could see Sinnoh maind right in front of him. He decided to get to Pastoria city and decided to contact Cynthia, his priority was to rescue Uxie and he is sessful, he needs to return Uxie toke Acuity. ?? It didn''t take him long before they reached Pastoria city, once he got there he rented a hotel room and got in, once he did that he closed all windows and curtains to block off anyone''s view into this room. Julian "Gengar, bring Uxie out" He said to Gengar, Gengar came out of his shadow with the sleeping Uxie in his hand, Julian sighed and carried it into his hand delicately and checked Uxie''s pulse, it is slow but it does exist putting Julian in a state of relief. It seems that Uxie''s heart is beating at a very slow rate, only two beats a minute, this was extremely shown but it was not a concern, some pokemons that hibernate during extreme cold seasons also do this to survive the cold, he didn''t know why Uxie was in such a state but it was not in danger. He also noticed that its body had a very low amount of omniforce, it must have used it to stay alive, Cyrus had no idea what he was doing. If Uxie was in that state for more than a month that all the omniforce in its body would have been exhausted and it would have been in death''s door. Julian slowly provided it with the Omniforce it needed from his body, Crystal who is sleeping in his pocket woke up when it noticed the changes in the surroundings. It popped out its head and looked down to see Uxie curled up in Julian''s arms sleeping. Crystal "Mew?" It squeaked and tilted its head and flew out of Julian''s pocket and came down and sat on top of Uxie''s body, it ced its little hands on top of Uxie''s chest and did the same as Julian, it started to provide the Omniforce that was in its body. Seeing this Julian smiled and nudged Crystal''s little head, its head bobbled like a toy, it squeaked angrily at Julian and sent a thin bold of electricity to zap Julian, the electricity was like a tickle to him. He justughed it off and gave candy to Crystal, this little one has a pure heart, even though it doesn''t know what is happening here, it is trying to help Uxie without asking for any benefit. Well, Crystal is not always like this, it is greedy, it learned the art from Gengar. If someone wanted something from Crystal, it asked some something in return, Julian didn''t know what to do when he learned about this, he scolded Gengar but the deed was already done. But when the timees Crystal is selfless, it would do things that it doesn''t even understand, just like now, seeing what Julian was doing, it knew that this was giving relief to Uxie so it copied Julian''s action. Julian looked at Uxie and noticed that it seems to have gained some energy as it moved its body curling up into a ball and snuggling deep into his arms, it seems to be at peace. Julian "Crystal take care of Uxie, okay?" He said to Crystal. Crystal nodded its head happily mewing a tune of its own. Julian decided to call Cynthia and ask her toe here, he didn''t waste any time and made the call. __________________ In the league headquarters, Cynthia''s room, Cynthia is sitting on her chair worried about Julian, waiting for his call, she suddenly gets startled as the phone in her hand starts to buzz, she looks at the screen and sees that it is Julian. Julian "Cynthia, don''t talk too much, don''t mention my name, juste to Pastoria city, I will send you the address of my hotel right now" He said. Cynthia "What happened?" She asked and frowned, she thought Julian would give her some good news but from his tone, she deducted that something is different. Cynthia "Ok I will be there" She said and ended the call, soon she received a message showing Julian''s current address, she got up from her chair and rushed out. Same building on the top floor, Chief''s room- A man suddenly walked in after knocking twice and walked towards the Chief who is smoking his cigar. "Sir, the champion left in a hurry just now, what should we do?" He asked. Chief "Get an elite team, we need to kill her and also the person she is meeting" He said in a t tone. "Ok, I will be on my way then" He said and turned around ready to leave when the Chief suddenly stopped him. Chief "Wait" The man turned around and looked at his boss. Chief "I will being as well, I will kill that bitch with my own hands, she should have died way before but now things have gotten out of control, her luck was really good but it won''t save her this time" He said and got up from his chair. The man nodded his head and walked out while Chief followed right behind him, it didn''t take this man to gather up his team. Six men excluding the Chief, they are the elite of the elite, ready to do anything with just order from the Chief, well nobody is as loyal as them, even they weren''t but the Chief used an underhanded method, he made a pokemon hypnotize them into submitting in front of Chief. These six have be the main killers for the Chief, now that they are about to im the Champion''s life so they need to bring their best. Chapter 481 - Cynthia Learns The Truth It took half a day for Cynthia to reach Pastoria city, she didn''t notice that a group of people has been following her secretly, she is too worried about Julian right now, she cannot think of anything else. She soon arrives at the front of the hotel that Julian mentioned in the message that he sent her, she walked into the hotel and asked the receptionist about the room where Julian is staying, once she got the information she entered the lift in a hurry, she then noticed a man in grey clothes walk in with her, he is wearing a hat covering his eyes. ?? Cynthia nced at him and felt something off, she is not naive, she knows when someone is following her. Cynthia ''Maybe that is why he said to not call out his name, Julian expected them to follow me, but how did he know and who are these men?'' She started to think. She also held her Garchomp''s Pokeball in her other hand ready to fend off this man if he tries to attack her, lucky for her this person didn''t attack her, he just stood there. The elevator stopped and the door opened, Cynthia got out of the elevator and walked towards the room where Julian is currently staying, she noticed the man who was with her in the elevator also walked out and walked the other way and stopped in front of a door and took out a key card and tried to open the door. Cynthia nced at him and noticed him peeking at her. She already knew that this person was following her so she didn''t mind it at all, she rang the doorbell while waiting for Julian to open the door, the door opened and she saw Julian covered in red clothes from head to toe walkout, he looked left and right, he saw the man in grey and nodded at Cynthia. She also nodded and walked in, once they were in the locked the door behind them. Julian "Gengar, make sure no one gets near this room" He said and walked towards the bed, Gengar separated from his shadow and passed through the wall. Cynthia, on the other hand, is shocked by seeing a particr pokemon on the bed beside Crystal, she saw Uxie sleeping peacefully. Cynthia "You found Uxie?" She eximed in shock. Julian "Yes, I did, I got here as soon as I got my hands on Uxie" He said and sighed. Cynthia "This is good news, then why were you so serious and who are those men following me?" She asked. She didn''t know what was going on, it felt too weird. Julian "It''s about the mole in the League Headquarters" He said in a serious tone. Cynthia "What do you mean?" She asked, she didn''t understand what Julian is talking about, she thought that they had caught the mole. Julian "The mole is none other than the chief, he has been working with the underworld for years" He said. Cynthia "WHAT?" Cynthia eximed loudly and sat down on the bed, shocked, she couldn''t believe what she just heard, she didn''t want to believe it but she also knew that Julian has no reason to lie to her. Cynthia "How did you find out?" She asked in a low voice, still trying to process what Julian just told her. Julian "Those three men who were with me, the Chief ordered them to kill me when we get inside the ind but they failed, I found out about this from them" He said. Cynthia "Where are they?" She asked. Julian "You shouldn''t be concerned about them" He said. Cynthia looked into Julian''s eyes and nodded her head, some things were best left untold. Cynthia "Now what?" Julian "The Chief has been trying to kill you for a while, during the time you were injured he was behind it all, he asked the doctor to act with the nurse, when he heard that I will being to see you, he decided to hurry up and kill you but the n failed, the doctor already knew what to do if the n failed, he yed us all with that nurse. Now that I ran away from the ind, the Chief knows that you know about him, he will try to eliminate both you and me" Julian said. Cynthia "What do we do?" She asked, worried. Julian "Head to Lake Acuity, our priority is to save Uxie, once it is back in theke, we can take care of the Chief and his men" Hearing Julian''s words Cynthia agreed to it and nodded her head, Julian was right Uxie has the most priority right now, its safety is Sinnoh''s safety and Cynthia cannot risk that. Julian "Good, we will be leaving soon, till then rest well" He said and sat down next to Uxie and ced his hand on its head, Cynthia sat beside him and ced her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes and fell asleep, she hasn''t slept properly for these few days as she kept worrying about him. Julian smiled and continued supplying Uxie with Omniforce little by little, he didn''t want to overload Uxie with concentrated Omniforce that is inside his body. Chapter 482 - Gengars At It Again While Julian is taking care of Uxie inside his room, Gengar who is one the watch decided to have some fun, he noticed the man in grey keeping a watch on Julian''s room. Since it''s Gengar he needs to have some fun, he watched the grey man for a while, he noticed that the man keeps walking around the hall near his own room, he seems to be waiting for Julian and Cynthia to walk out of their room. ?? Gengar giggled as he watched his prey who is walking around the hall, he slowly approached the grey man from the shadows and stood right behind him, seeing him so diligent at work Gengar decided to distract him. He went towards a door and unlocked it making it sound as if someone opened the door, hearing the sound the grey man rushed towards his room, as he rushed towards it, Gengar charged at him and grabbed his head from behind and mmed it on the door. The grey man hit his head hard and fell on the ground hurting his head from behind as well, the man grunted in pain as he got off the floor. Grey Man "What the fuck, how did if fall, shit, it hit my head on the door by rushing so fast" He said and looked at Julian''s room to see no one came out. Grey Man "I must have imagined it, what the fuck is wrong with me?" He said and got up rubbing his head, both front and back, the doors of this hotel are hard, being mmed on it caused a bump to form on the man''s forehead. Seeing the bump Gengar started tough. Gengar "Gegegegegegege" As the man started to walk around again, Gengar untied his shoce and pulled his leg from behind, the man suddenly fell face first hitting his nose, his nose broke with the sound of a crack and he started to bleed. Grey Man "Arrr, what is happening to me today" He shouted and looked at his legs and noticed one of his shoces hase loose. Grey Man "Fuck, if my teammates hear about this, they willugh till death, a task force spy broke his nose for being clumsy" He said and got up, his nose is in very bad shape and continuously bleeding and Gengar isughing seeing the state the man is in, his whole shirt is tainted with his blood, his hands are bloody and he is having a hard time breathing. Grey Man "I need to use the bathroom or I can''t continue my work" He said and pulled out a small motion detect camera from his pocket and ced it right in the sight of Julian''s door so if any moment happens he will be informed by it. He walked into his room but before him, Gengar had already entered his bathroom, Gengar waited patiently. When he saw the man walk in holding his bleeding nose, he didn''t even notice the wet soap on the floor that Gengar has ced, the man stepped his leg right on top of the soap causing his whole body to go down. The man experienced everything in slow motion, as he fell he saw the flying soap, the sink, the bathtub, the towels, the conditioners and finally the mirror in which he saw a Gengar looking at himughing with a while grin on its face, the man realized that he has been yed. Grey Man ''Ahhhh, fuck me'' He thought as the back of his head hit the floor hard and he got knocked out cold and will possibly suffer from a concussion. Gengarughed as he saw the result of his prank and disappeared into the floor whileughing. Gengar "Gegegegegege" ________________________ Back in the room Julian decided to take some rest, Crystal is trying to overdo itself, it doesn''t have much omniforce in its bodypared to Julian but it doesn''t want to stop because Julian is still doing so. He stopped providing Uxie Omniforce and lifted his hand, seeing Julian taking his hand of Uxie, Crystal also lifted its hand and flew back into Julian''s pocket and fell asleep, it used too much Omniforce but it seems to have Uxie a lot. Uxie''s pulse is now normal and, its color has returned, a little more and it will be out of its sleep, its heartbeat has also be faster, Julian looked to the side and noticed that Cynthia is also asleep on his shoulder. Heughed awkwardly seeing this, all three of them are sleeping upon him and he didn''t want to wake them up so now he has to stay in this position till one of them wakes up. ______________________ Inside the grey man''s room, he is knocked out cold, and it looks like he will be in this state for quite a long time, his bleeding seems to have finally stopped. Suddenly his phone starts to ring but no one is present to pick it up, the phone rings for a while before finally stopping. One the other side of this phone a group of people is sitting inside a ck van, looking at the phone in their hand. "Why is he not picking up?" One of them asked, they specifically told him to update every ten minutes but the time they gave has passed and they haven''t received any update from their teammate. "Something must have happened, we should check on him" Another one said. Chief "Are you guys idiots? if he has not informed us means that he has already been dealt with or is being interrogated, we cannot go inside yet, this is a public ce, if we barge in things might turn out very bad for our side, just sit and wait" He said and put them back to their seats as they hope for an update from their teammate. Chapter 483 - Chase Begins Back in Julian''s room, he has already been sitting in the same position for a while when he suddenly noticed some movements in his hand, he saw Uxie moving and trying to open his eyes, seeing this he got excited and moved to cause Cynthia, who is sleeping on his shoulder wake up from the jolt from the feeling of falling down. Cynthia "What happened?" ?? She asked in an alert voice as she is still confused. Julian "You woke up, look Uxie is moving" He said to Cynthia, hearing this Cynthia quickly rushed to the front to look at Uxie, Uxie started to move its tiny feet and arms, the gems on its forehead and tails started to glow and it slowly opened its eyes. As soon as it did, Uxie saw Julian''s red eyes and stared into them, it felt veryfortable around his arms, it grabbed into his finger and held it tight, it seems to be very scared right now, Julian felt pity for it. He could see the fear inside Uxie, the three Lake guardians are not pokemons made to fight, their job is to protect and they can easily fend off anyone but they are naive and innocent, they are not capable of going against human''s evil intentions and schemes. Cyrus must have tricked Uxie into doing something and got itself captured, seeing how scared Uxie is right now, Julian felt anger, he really wanted to mess up Cyrus but since Uxie is with him, he can calm down. He slowly creased its head and calmed it down, Crystal who seems to be sleeping in his pocket also woke up as it noticed the changes in the surroundings, it popped out its little head and looked at Uxie with its tiny but big eyespared to its head. Uxie also stared at Crystal, they both seem to be very interested in each other, Crystal flew out of Julian''s pocket and greeted Uxie with a big smile on its face, it used its little arms and copied Julian and creased its head. Uxie got happy and nudged its head into Crystal causing it to fly away because of its small body, Crystal got frustrated by this, sometimes it didn''t like being so small, it always ate more than it can eat to grow bigger but for some reason, it never grew up. It is still the same 7 inches from its head to its tiny legs, Julian chucked seeing how frustrated Crystal is. Julian "You are safe now, we will return you to your home" Julian said and patted Uxie''s head, Uxie became happy and held onto Julian''s arm forfort. Julian "I think we should move now, it''s better for Uxie to get back to it''s home, the sooner the better" He said to Cynthia. Cynthia "Yes, you are right, let''s go" She said agreeing to him,ke Acuity is losing its presence, ake that felt mysterious and powerful is looking very normal nowadays, the locals are already spreading rumors about Uxie leaving theke to go somewhere else, little did they know that Uxie had been abducted. Julian "Let''s go" He said and got up from the bed, Crystal went into his pocket and got itselffortable inside with its two tails handing out swinging in front of Uxie, Crystal is trying to tease Uxie, it still wants to y. Julian [Gengar back to position] He sent his message to Gengar, he soon entered the room and got into Julian''s shadow, Julian and Cynthia left the room, to not have too much attention on him and Cynthia, Julian put Uxie inside a Pokeball, it is much better inside a Pokeball than outside the living world. Pokeball is made in such a way that it makes a physical environment inside the Pokeball so that the pokemons won''t get bored inside, Uxie will be experiencing its natural habitat inside its Pokeball. After checking out Julian and Cynthia got onto their bike and rode off. ___________________ Near the hotel, inside the ck car, the Chief and the remaining people are still hoping for a response when the person sitting in the driver seat saw Cynthia and a man in red clothes covered from head to toe walkout. "Boss, they are out, they are going somewhere" He said and alerted them all, all of them rushed their head up front to see them, they saw Cynthia getting behind the person in red and ride off in a bike. Chief "What the fuck are you doing, follow them" The Chief yelled and smacked the driver''s head and asked him to chase after them, the driver nodded his head and hit the elerator and started to chase Julian and Cynthia. As Julian kept on riding he noticed a ck van following them in his bike''s mirrors, he could clearly see the Chief sitting in the front with a fierce expression on his face. Julian ''Would you look at that, the culprit decided toe face to face'' He thought and increased the speed for his bike, Julian knew as soon as they leave the city, these group of men will chase them down and try to kill them. Well, Julian, on the other hand, has apletely different n for them, Gengar who is in his shadow is also getting excited seeing so many idiots following them. Chapter 484 - The Chase Ends As Julian had expected these men who are following them aren''t giving up, it took him some time to get out of the city because it was very crowded, it seems to be the weekend and the streets are filled with vehicles, after getting out of the city the chase began. Julian once again rode on the rough streets of the mountain range, west side of Pastoria city, this is his third time riding on this road, first being the time when he encountered Hunter J, send being the time he came here to enter the ck market and this is the third time, being chased by a group of men trying to kill them. ?? His bike is perfect for these roads, Cynthia is grabbing on to him tightly as she doesn''t want to fly off the seat and hurt herself and neither does Julian, right behind them is the ck van, trying to catch up to them. Cynthia also noticed the van when the left the city, the van is right behind them struggling to catch up, they didn''t expect Julian to take this route as it is rough and dangerous, sometimes boulderse rolling down the mountains, sometimes people get lucky by the road just getting blocked by these boulders, but sometimes they won''t be so lucky as they will get crushed by them. The chase continued, seeing that they were not gaining any distance on Julian and Cynthia, the Chief started to get frustrated. Chief "Shoot them down" He ordered. Hearing his order three men took out their guns and peeked out of the van''s windows and started to shoot, they have very deadly uracy but it''s useless, seeing these men shooting at them, Gengar made the move, he used Protect and created a very thick forcefield, the bullets were like arrows hitting a thick metal wall, even though they had speed and power behind them, they were just tossed aside after hitting the barrier. It was useless, seeing their guns having no effect on the barrier the Chief frowned. Chief "What the fuck are you doing, make a pokemon attack that barrier" He yelled. The men nodded and one of them took out his pokemon, a Magmortar. "Magmortar, use Sr Beam" His Magmortar stood out of the open hood of the van and aimed its hands at the barrier, he charged up the Sr Beams and sted it at the barrier, two beams of Sr Beamsnded on the barrier and caused a huge disturbance in the environment, the driver''s vision got blurred from all the smoke but he didn''t stop, he just continued driving or the Chief would put a bullet in his head. When they got past the dust and smoke they saw the barrier and it was still intact, there was not even a scratch on it, they realized that their pokemons attack had no effect on it. But something else happened, the sound from the st caused the boulders resting on top of the mountains toe rushing down. The whole area got covered with the sound of gigantic boulders rushing down the mountain at high speed, seeing the Chief and his men got shocked. Chief "Drive you, idiot, drive" Chief shouted and smacked the drivers head again, the driver shifted the gear and started to increase the speed of the van, it is very dangerous for the van to ride at this speed in these ruff terrains but if they don''t they will get crushed by the rocks that are rolling down. Julian also saw the bouldersing down and clicked his tongue. Julian "These idiots" Julian [Gengar cover us with Protect] Hearing him Gengar increased the area of the Protect but theyer became thinner, but it didn''t matter, he could easily tank these boulders as they are not as strong as a pokemon''s attack but these things can still crush a person to death. The speed of the boulders increased as they are about to reach the ground. Julian ''I will not be able to make it, the roads will get blocked'' He thought and slowed down. If he increased the speed, the rocks that will fall on them will be more, the slower he goes the better because the rocks that are in front of them are bigger andrger in quantity, small rocks started to crash on top of the barrier but nothing happened to them, the rocks were sent to the side after they shattered crashing onto the barrier. The men who are following them are also in the same condition, they called out all the pokemons they had that knew Protect and used it to block off the rocks, some of the rocks still cracked their barrier. Chief "Slow down you idiot, can''t you see those huge boulders up front" He said and smacked the driver again Chief ''Well at least this is the end of the chase, once this is over, I can go back to my room and drink my wine'' He thought and started tough. Chapter 485 - Fear Never Felt Before Julian stopped his bike as he saw a huge cluster of boulders blocking his path, the whole road is covered by huge boulders, he cannot go around them because the mountains here are very steep, he has to break these boulders to get over them. He looked behind and saw the group of men finally stopping their van as well, the van is in terrible shape, they survived barely from the barrage of those fallen rocks and boulders that could have easily crushed them. ?? The driver stopped the van right in front of Julian, The Chief and his men walked out of the nearly broken van and coughed out the dust that they had inhaled. Chief "Cynthia, oh, Cynthia, this all could have been so easy and peaceful but you had to survive, again and again till I had to move" The Chief said and dusted his suit. Cynthia red at this man furiously, from a very young age she trusted this man, when she started her journey he was there when she beat the gyms he was there, when she dominated the Elite Four he was there and finally when she became the champion he was there. He was present in every big moment of her life, acting all the time, ying and manipting everyone, everyone associated with him was being yed by the honest face that this man puts up over his face. Cynthia "Chief, why?" She asked. Chief "Looks like that man told you everything, I didn''t expect you to have such a powerful follower, he singlehandedly infiltrated the Underworld and did a number of the men I sent" He said and looked at the man standing behind Cynthia wearing red clothes. Chief "You there, why don''t you join me, it''s way better than dying here and you can even earn more than what Cynthia gives you" He offered Julian this deal without knowing who is behind that mask, Julian didn''t answer to him and just stood there, he wanted to more from Chief. If he shows his face now the Chief might just go mute. Chief "I see you are a loyal dog huh? Well what a waste, kill them" He gave the order. Cynthia "You think I will go down so easily, Garchomp, Milotic,e on out" She called out her best pokemons to fight against the group of men that re trying to kill her, Julian stood by the side, he knew that Cynthia could handle them but if these people try anything stupid he will take care of them. The men behind the Chief also took out their pokemon and sent their pokemon out to face off against Cynthia''s pokemon, while Cynthia has two on her side, the other side has five pokemons. Magmortar, Hypno, Nidoking, Golem, and Scizor. This line up seems good but they are not enough to take down Cynthia''s two pokemon, the pokemons started to exchange their moves and attack each other. Even though Cynthia''s pokemon got cornered by the others they were still able to hold on their own and even pressuring the opposite party, Cynthia proved her power, her Garchomp is being offensive while her Milotic is providing all the defense for her Garchomp. Theirbinations are powerful and versatile, the five pokemons opposing them are not able tond a single hit on them. Julian just watched from the side with a smile on his face, he really didn''t have to make a move at all, Cynthia is enough for these idiots. The Chief is getting frustrated as he saw his men''s pokemon being handled so easily. Chief ''She has grown stronger than thest time I saw her in a battle'' He thought and tightly clenched his fist, he suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it at Cynthia and shot it but before the bullet could even touch her it was deflected by a force field barrier created by Gengar, he is always on the watch, even the slightest movement from the enemy and he will take action just as Julian instructed him to do. The Chief started to fume in anger as he saw his shots being useless, he got frustrated and sent out his own pokemon, it is an kazam. A very powerful on, much stronger than the pokemons of his men. Chief "kazam, use Psyshock on that bitch" He ordered his kazam to attack Cynthia but to his surprise, he noticed his kazam has frozen on the spot shaking from fear. Chief "What are you doing, attack" He shouted at his kazam but it didn''t move from its spot, what the Chief didn''t notice is the Gengar that is right under kazam, inside its shadow is a scary monster, one with red eyes and a scary, creepy grin. Being a Psychic-type kazam is already weak to Ghost-type and the pressure released by a monster such as Gengar made it feel fear like never before. Seeing its trainer pressuring it to go against such a monster, kazam felt betrayed and decided to abandon its trainer and escape. It suddenly used Teleport and disappeared from everyone''s sight. Chief "What?" He eximed as he saw his powerful kazam disappear in thin air, this kazam has helped him control and manipte many people but now it just ran away for no reason. He didn''t know why but it felt weird. Chief "What could cause this to happen?" He questioned and looked at Cynthia who is getting closer to demolishing his men''s pokemon. Chapter 486 - Caught In Act He questioned to himself why his kazam made a run for its life without even concerning about him, he looked at Cynthia who has almost finished her opponents, he noticed that Cynthia''s pokemon are very busy so there is no way his kazam would be intimidated by them. He then suddenly realized something and looked behind Cynthia, he looked at the man in red, he saw the man just standing there not doing anything and watching the whole battle as if he is watching some show. ?? Chief "It''s him, he is the one who caused my kazam to run away" He said and stared at Julian, trying to find out who this person really is. While Chief is wondering about this, Cynthia has already finished her opponents, her Milotic trapped them inside a Whirlpool and swirled them around violently and her Garchomp used a powerful Draco Meteor and crushed her opponents. It was over in one fell swoop. The shockwave from this attack blew away the rocks blocking their path, Julian looked behind him and saw the clear path, he could just leave or he could take care of Chief but he would be doing wrong. He decided to let Cynthia handle this, his betrayal has effected Cynthia more than anyone. Julian [Gengar takes those pokemons and erase their memories of their trainer and release them in the wild] Gengar soon started to drag the fainted pokemons into his shadow realm and started to erase their memories of their trainer and when the chancees he will release them in the wild. The Chief stood in a daze as he saw his whole team getting destroyed by Cynthia. Chief "But how? You were not this strong" He shouted in rage and tried to shoot Cynthia again but it was of no use, the same as before, those bullets got deflected by a forcefield created by Gengar. Chief "Not this bullshit again, you stop meddling in our business, this is between me and Cynthia" He shouted at Julian in fury. Cynthia "I will take care of it" She said and looked at Julian, he nodded and started to check on his bike to see if any dust has umted inside his bike, he doesn''t want his bike to get ruined due to a small speck of dust that could enter his bike. Cynthia, on the other hand, walked towards the Chief with her Garchomp and Milotic by her side, the Chief didn''t know what to do, his pokemon ran away and has no chance to fight against Cynthia. Cynthia "I will ask you again? Why?" She said emotionally. The Chief was very close to her father figure, even though she didn''t disy it to anyone, she thought of him as a figure she could visit when she is in peril but now that she has learned his true identity it was devastating for her. Julian doesn''t know about this, he has no idea what Cynthia''s rtionship with the Chief is but he could tell that she is conflicted. Chief "What why? I am doing this for my people, for the ce I was born, I never cared about Sinnoh nor you, you are really naive for a champion, you should never trust anyone in this business, well I have been undercover for more than 20 years so I was able to manipte everyone in the League, you are nothing special, do you really think that the underworld would have had an edge over the League if I was not around, those people on the top are really idiots, they would do anything I ask them just to please me, hahaha those executives you have on the top of the Sinnoh League are idiots, it was very easy for me to get on their good side and make them do my bidding" He said and started tough. Cynthia "I see! Since you have confessed to being a spy of the Sinnoh Underworld, you are under arrest" She said and decided to arrest the Chief for being guilty. Chief "You cannot arrest me, you have no warrant or proof" He said and sneered, even though he admitted being the spy he is still refusing of being guilty. Cynthia "I knew you would have said something like this, for twenty years you have been avoiding thew, so you know how to avoid thew, so I have recorded everything you said in this phone" She said and pulled her phone showing him the recorded file. Seeing this the Chief is shocked, he didn''t think that Cynthia would actually record him in this environment. Cynthia "You are not the only one who knows the people around them, I know you as well, even though you put up that ordinary look on your face, you are a sly fox, I expected you to tell me your secret but it might be the only time you confess so I decided to record our conversation, looks like I was lucky" She said and smirked. Even Julian expected this, his girlfriend is really sneaky when ites to matter like this, the Chief finally gave up as he fell on his knee, he thought he could still get away from thew with his money, in this twenty years he has umted a lot of fortune and even the Underworld would help him for his long service for them. But with this recording, it is all over. Cynthia called a special force and waited till they arrive, half an hourter a huge group of task forces working for the League came in their special bulletproof vans that can even withstand powerful pokemon attacks, the task force arrested the Chief and went away without asking much. Chapter 487 - Murderer Julian and Cynthia continued on their journey towardske Acuity, now that the Chief is out of the way it has be a lot easier for them, before the chief was on their tail, trying to shoot and bring them down but its all over, his girlfriend is a strong one, not many can boast to have this much power in their hands. It took days for him to reachke Acuity again, during the time he let Uxie y with his other pokemons so it can feel less stressed because of the recent events that took ce, Uxie had never thought it would be captured and detained inside for so many months. ?? Thanks to Crystal and Manaphy, Uxie seems to have calmed down a lot, it''s much happier and is ying with his other pokemons with a smile on its face. After a few days, they finally reachedke Acuity and it was time for Uxie to leave, Julian took out the Griseous Orb from his pouch and handed it over to Uxie, seeing the orb Uxie was surprised, few months before Cyrus tricked Uxie into bringing out this Orb and stole it from it and captured it, now Julian has brought it back to it. Uxie became happy and grabbed onto the Orb as if it found its lost toy, Crystal and other are sad because it time for Uxie too leave, its been out of theke for months and theke has lost its shine, Uxie needs to get back in there and fix it, it has to provide theke with its energy that it receives from the Orb. Thesekes are the keys to the gate of the other world and no one knows about it, without the magical properties of thesekes the gate to the other world can never be opened. Julian didn''t know that this action of his will bring a disaster. Without Uxie the chain between thekes had been cut, but now Uxie has returned the connection between the threekes will be restored once again and the possibility of the gate to the other world opening is high. During his battle with the mutated Hydreigon, he had not noticed the crack that has formed above the spear pir. if something simtes the crack and if it expands it will be troublesome, who knows what will happen if the gate to the other world really opens. Things could have beenpletely different if Julian didn''t save Uxie, Cyrus'' n would have failed as the link between the gates is not connected. Uxie takes the Orb and entered theke, as soon as it did, the Lake started to sparkle once again, it was lite but it could still be seen through naked eyes. Crystal is sad as its new friend has to leave so soon, it didn''t get enough time to y with it, his other pokemons are also emotional, even though they spent very little time with Uxie they felt connected with it. Being one of the original pokemons created by Arceus it did have these kinds of effects on people, Cyrus is obsessed with Uxie for this reason as well, his goal to create a perfect world multiplied his desire when he saw Uxie. Uxie, in front of his eyes, is a perfect being just like the world he pictures to create, Uxie is created by Arceus and in Cyrus''s eyes, there is nothing more perfect than Arceus and its creations. Julian also sighed as he saw Uxie leave, even he felt emotional, being around a pokemon that has this kind effect on him was new to Julian, Uxie was indeed special, these pokemons are powerful but pure in nature, they should never be exposed to humans. ____________________ While Julian and the others are looking atke Acuity changing, Cyrus, on the other hand, is breaking everything in his room, he just got the news that the Chief has been captured and his identity of being a spy of the underworld has been exposed. Without the Chief, his work will be a lot harder, he cannot fulfill his goal and Julian has one of his creations, he is angry, frustrated and slowly starting to go mental. Cyrus "I need to take everything in my own hands, I need to open the gate, I need to bring destruction to this world so I can build my perfect world over it" He said and was about to storm out of the room when the door of his room suddenly opened and Zandar walked in with a frown on his face. Cyrus "What do you want?" He asked Zandar. Zandar " You have cost us a huge loss, because of your foolishness the Snake has been caught, you are useless, from now on you are no longer under the Underworld''s protection, get out from this ind, I have already prepared a jet for you to get out from here" He said. Cyrus "You can''t do that, what about the huge investments I have done on you people, you cannot just make any decisions, I want a word with your little brother as he is the one who brought me here" He shouted at Zandar. Zandar "It doesn''t matter anymore, the investments you have provided us is nothingpared to the loss of the Snake, and even my little brother cannot do anything, get the hell out of this ind" He said and tried to walk out of Cyrus''s room but today was his bad day. Cyrus broke as he heard this, with no protection he was helpless, he suddenly pulled Zandar''s hair from behind and threw him on the ground. Zandar hit his head and grunted in pain. Zandar " What do you think you are doing, do you have a death wish?" Zandar shouted at Cyrus but he suddenly stopped as he saw the madness in Cyrus''s eyes, he saw Cyrus ring at him like a madman, Cyrus suddenly took the metal vase ced on the table next to him and mmed it on Zandar''s face. Zandar didn''t see thising at all, one second he was scolding Cyrus and the next second a metal vase is mmed on his face, his vision turned red, he wanted to scream in pain but for some reason, it was not possible, it is because Cyrus mmed the vase on his face multiple timespletely shattering Zandar''s face. Zandar felt cold as the life flew out of him, he the leader of the Sinnoh Underworld died in such a shameful way in the hands of a madman. Zandar''s whole face is caved in, blood is everywhere, stters on the wall, floor, and on Cyrus''s face and body. Cyrus realized that he did something that he shouldn''t have, in the fits of rage he killed someone who was a high ranked than him, he would get killed if anyone finds out, he dragged Zandar''s bloody dead body into his bathroom and ced it inside the bathtub, he then cleaned himself and rushed out of his room and went into the elevator. He soon arrived in front of the room where Uxie was kept before, he looked around to confirm if anyone was present, seeing the coast clear he walked behind a supeputer and pulled out a device, this device was the same as the one Cyrus handed over to Julian but something was different about it. Cyrus looked at it andughed like a manic. Cyrus "Even though this is unstable, it can still do the job, my perfect world is very near, hahahahahah". Chapter 488 - Escape Cyrus looked at the capsule in his hand, inside the capsule, there is a red liquid which looks very vtile as if it would explode any moment, the one Julian has consist of blue liquid which is much more stable. Cyrus " This was the prototype but due to its violent nature Zandar said to make another one and dispose of this, hahaha, good thing I kept it with me, who would know what might have happened and now see, I am right, with this my dream wille true" ?? He said and ced the capsule inside a box, the same exact box like the one he gave to Julian, he took the box and quickly rushed out of the room, when he reached the main hall he saw a bunch of guardsing towards him, seeing this he frowned. Cyrus ''Did they find the body, why are theying here?'' He questioned himself. Soon the guards came in front of him and saluted him. Guard "Sir, Leader Zandar has asked us to escort you out of the Ind" He said. Hearing this Cyrus mood escted, staying on this ind is very dangerous for him right now so getting out of here is the best option. Cyrus "Why are you idiots sote, let''s go" He said and ordered the guards to escort him out of the ind, the guards quickly escorted him towards a private yacht that soon left the ind on his orders. Back on the ind, Zandar''s bodyguards are looking all over the building to try and find him but they are in no luck, Zandar told them that he wants to be alone for a while. When they returned back to his room, they didn''t find him, they then looked in the main office but he was not there either. Things got escted as everyone in the building knew about the bodyguards searching for Zandar, one of the workers soon told the guards that he saw Zandar walk towards Cyrus''s room, the bodyguards rushed towards Cyrus''s room as soon as they heard this. When they entered the room by breaking the locked door, they noticed blood spatter everywhere, they got alerted and pulled out their guns and loaded them, one of them entered the bathroom and gave out a call to his team, the others rushed in as well and saw a dead body in a bathtub with its facepletely crushed, they couldn''t identify this person at all but this dead body is wearing the exact same dress as their leader Zandar. Bodyguard "Quick, inform the other leaders about this" The bodyguards asked one of the guards behind him to inform the rest, the guard nodded and quickly rushed towards the third leader to inform him, the second leader, Zandar''s brother is not here. The only person present is the man with an eye patch, Dhrago. Inside Dhrago''s room, he is looking at the footage of Julian escaping on his Garchomp, his face had a very weird expression, almost as if he wants to fight but at the same time very excited. Dhrago "That man should be able to give me a proper battle, the way his Garchomp flies, its speed is quite fascinating, its even better than the Champion of Sinnoh, I need to find this man and battle him to death, then only will I be satisfied" He said excitedly. Suddenly the door on his room was mmed open startling him, he turned around and saw a guard sweating. Dhrago "What do you think you are doing? Do you have a death wish?" He asked angrily. Guard "No sir, but I have bad news" He said in a weak voice. Dhrago "What is it?" Guard "It seems like Leader Zandar has been murdered" He said. Dhrago "What?" Guard "Yes sir, his body was found in sir Cyrus''s room, well it seems like Leader Zandar''s body" He said. Dhrago "What do you mean by that?" He asked. Guard "The body''s whole face ispletely messed up" He said. Dhrago "Take me there" He said and followed the Guard towards Cyrus''s room. When they reached there, there was already a huge crowd standing outside. Dhrago "Move out of the way" He said and pushed the crowd outside and rushed in, he saw a group of people bagging the dead body. Dhrago " Is it really Leader Zandar?" He asked one of the bodyguards. Bodyguard "Not sure, but its most likely him" He said. Dhrago "Where were you, idiots, when this happened?" He asked them angrily. Bodyguard "Leader Zandar asked us that he wants to be alone, we didn''t know about this at all" He said scared, he knew that he can lose his job and possibly his life for this, his job was to protect Zandar but now he is found dead in someone else''s bathtub. Dhrago "Where is Cyrus?" He asked while squinting his eyes, this was Cyrus''s room but he is nowhere to be found, he looked around and saw few guards lowering their head trying to avoid eye contact. Dhrago "I ASKED WHERE IS HE?" He roared in anger causing the guards to tremble in fear, this man is the most dangerous man they have ever seen in their life, it is why they are so afraid of him. Guard "Sir, Sir Cyrus left the Ind half an hour ago" One guard came front and reported him, hearing this Dhrago knew that Cyrus must have killed Zandar, they always had friction between them and with the recent events there would have been no peace between them and it looks like Cyrus got the better of it. Dhrago "Put a bounty on Cyrus''s head, dead or alive" He said and walked away. Chapter 489 - Truth About The Underworld Dhrago had no idea that this could happen, Zandar was always a man who though twice before doing anything, but it didn''t help him this time, he underestimated Cyrus''s obsession. For them Cyrus was just building a weapon, they had no idea that Cyrus had other ns in his mind, Zandar''s death is their own fault, for not taking Cyrus seriously and thinking that they could control a mad man. ?? Since Zandar is dead and his little brother who is ranked second here in this ind is not present, he is in charge, the only thing he can do now informs the main branch then continue with, and so he did, he informed the main branch about Zandar''s death and its cause, the main branch then ordered the capture of Cyrus dead or alive, Dhrago was then given a temporary leadership position until someone is sent from the main branch to take over. Dhrago didn''t know what to do, even though he ranks third here it was only because of his knowledge of battle and war, he is the general of the force present here, now suddenly being tasked as the leader of the whole ind was too much for him but he has to continue. ______________________ Cyrus reached the maind of Sinnoh, he looks at the huge massnd in front of him and smiles, his face is bloody for some reason, next to him is the yacht driver, the driver is shivering in fear as Cyrus has a gun against his head/ Cyrus suddenly killed all the guards present in the yacht by sneaking behind them, then he cut off themunication between the ind and the yacht, the driver has no idea what is going on, he is just scared for his life. Cyrus "I don''t need them, I can do this on my own, I am the only one who can fulfill my dreams" He said and started tough, the driver is clueless but didn''t try to ask anything, he docked the yacht near a sandy beach where no one is around, just as Cyrus told him to do. Driver " Sir, please let go of me, I have kids back home" The driver pleaded for his life after docking the yacht, he is really scared and is hoping to get out of this mess alive. Cyrus "Sure, Sure, go ahead" He said and takes away the gun from the driver''s head and lets him get off his seat, the Driver looks at Cyrus, then at his gun, then at the exit which is just meters away from him, the driver decided to bolt towards the door and make a run for his life and so he did. The next second his body fell to the ground as blood spurted out of the back of his head, Cyrus killed him. Cyrus "Too bad, I cannot let any loose ends exist" He said and put his gun away, he then walked out of the yacht with the ck box in his hand which contains vtile energy inside it, the yacht that he left behind is filled with bodies and it will soon attract pokemons and people, but till then Cyrus will be long gone. ____________________ In Snowpoint city, Julian and Cynthia are sharing a room, once they were done with Uxie, they headed to Snowpoint city to rest, they had a very long journey, Julian decided to treat Crystal and his other pokemons as they are sad because of Uxie''s departure. Inside the room, Julian is looking at hisptop trying to find something about the underworld. Cynthia "I don''t think you are going to find anything on the inte" She said as she peeked at Julian''s screen. Julian "Then what should I do?" He asked as he got introduced to the underworld he knew that factions like these were dangerous, thousand times dangerous than any evil team he had defeated. Cynthia "I know you are thinking about getting rid of the Underworld but I think you should leave them alone" She said and hugged him. Julian "Why?" Cynthia "Underworld is very different from what you think it really is, the Underworld could be called a different world in fact, there is civilization, a kingdom which is under the control of their royal families and they are not interested in destroying the world like Cyrus and his Team Gctic or any other organization" Julian just looked at her had stayed silent, he wanted to hear more about it from her, he knew that Cynthia knew a lot, she has been champion for a long time so she has some knowledge about it. Cynthia "Underworld, just like I said is not a threat to the world we live in but it is a very huge empire, and itsws are cruelpared to the society that we live in, they are the main reason behind all the crimes that take ce in the world, their whole kingdom runs because of the crimes that peoplemit" Julian "So why the stalemate between the Underworld and the ruling parties of the world?" Cynthia "It''s because of the criminals, the Underworld house them and keep them in control. If there was no underworld the criminals would run wild and bring chaos everywhere, the ruling parties of the world just keep an eye on the Underworld, making sure that it doesn''t overstep, they could have destroyed the Underworld in the past but they didn''t because they knew that Underworld can be useful to them" Julian "I see" He said and stayed silent he understood what Cynthia just said, he is new to this world so he doesn''t much, the biggest threat to this world are the people who want to take over the world by taking control of legendary pokemons, unlike his previous world terrorist and other criminals are not the biggest threat here, it the sleeping monsters who may unleash destruction on the world if theye under the control of the wrong hands. While the Underworld is way powerful they are not particrly a huge threat to the world, the ruling parties don''t want to destroy their own world which profits them so much, they are greedy bastards who would do anything for gaining more power and money, even though they are dangerous they help the world by keeping the real danger at bay. Julian once again realized that things are still very different from the world he came from, even though he thought he had adjusted to the rules of this new world, many things are still foreign to him, seeing how sessful the world leaders are, controlling the masses and have kept this world free of huge-scale wars showed that they were indeed powerful. The League is not the biggest power, its jurisdiction is only limited to some regions not all, Julian still needs to know more about this world. Chapter 490 - Volatile Substance Julian learned a lot from Cynthia about the Underworld and how the League and other world leaders handle them, but right now the underworld is not their main priority right now, it is Cyrus. He is the real threat, his obsession with creating a perfect world will bring a disaster and both Julian and Cynthia know about this, they need to stop Cyrus. ?? Cynthia "What should we do about Cyrus?" She asked worriedly. Julian "He wille out, with things going on how they are Cyrus won''t stay silent, whatever he created is with me, he cannot do anything without it, he wille to look for it. He said and took out the ck box that he received from Cyrus, he opened it up revealing a capsule containing a blue liquid-like substance inside, it seems to be filled with energy, he frowned when he saw this. This energy was very simr to Omniforce but much weakerpared to the real thing, and this energy seems to be mixed with another type of energy as well, it is very close to Chaos that he felt inside the mutated Hydreigon. Cyrus is able to create something like this showed that he spent a lot of money and manpower behind it, he has no idea why Cyrus would create something like this, but whatever he is nning could have a huge impact if this thing in Julian''s hand gets back to Cyrus. Julian decided to look further into this and let his system go through the process, as days passed by he had less and less use of the system, he started to understand the world around him more clearly without the help of the system. The system helped him a lot in the beginning but now it''s not too much of use too him, it is fortunate that the system doesn''t have any consciousness of itself or it would have been bored to death. The system is still useful to him when he doesn''t have any answers that he cane up with, the system also helped him in keeping his pokemon''s health in check, he would get a weekly update on his pokemon''s condition, their strength gain, their weakness and what they need to do to avoid this weakness, his system also yed a huge role in training his pokemons, the system always came up with best-case scenarios for him pokemons and how to train them. The system soon started its process as it tried to figure out what''s going on with this substance that Cyrus has created, it didn''t take long before it came up with an answer. System ''Information acquired'' Julian heard the system''s voice and got alerted. Julian ''What is it?'' He asked. System ''Energy has been extracted from Uxie and been fused with man-made vtile elements creating energy simr to chaos'' The system gave its answer. Julian ''What can it do?'' He asked, concerned about what Cyrus is really nning. System ''Due to its vtile nature the energy will act as a destructive element against barriers between dimensions, if released near an area where the barrier is thin, it can create a rift between dimensions, connecting them forever'' It said. Julian ''I see so Cyrus wants to open a rift and connect the two dimensions. If that happens this world will cease to exist, everything will be destroyed, what is that idiot even thinking?'' He thought and looked at Cynthia who is also thinking about how to track down Cyrus, she already suspects him to have left the Underworld ind as they will not wee him after what happened, the Chief already confessed his crimes and also revealed the identity of the people who were working for him and with him, he also mentioned that Cyrus was the one who hest spoke too. Of course, he didn''t confess this on his own, he was hypnotized by a powerful pokemon into speaking the truth and confess all of his crimes along with his aplice. Julian "What about the League headquarters, did anyone take over?" He asked startling Cynthia as she was in deep thought. Cynthia "No, not yet, after the Chief was taken in, he left a very big gap in the rankings, it will take days for the League to send a better and more talented person to take in charge of Sinnoh League headquarters" She said. Julian "What about the Chief?" Cynthia "He confessed to everything after being put under hypnosis" Julian "Did he mention anything about Cyrus?" Cynthia "Just that Cyrus was very mad and threatened to kill me, nothing more" Julian "He dares say that?" Julian got angry when he heard this, Cynthia is now a part of his life, if anything happens to her, the whole world might inquire his wrath. Cynthia "Don''t worry, he is just a psychopath spouting nonsense, we will catch him and put him under trial where he will be judged severely by the League and the League doesn''t go easy on people like Cyrus, its either death or solitary imprisonment for the rest of their lives where they will slowly go insane" She answered. Hearing this Julian did feel a little relieved, the League''s punishment was really something, even he wouldn''t be able to stay alive for the rest of his life all alone, locked inside a dark room for the rest of his life with no interaction with anything, even he would go mad, let alone Cyrus who is already mad. And with how time works in this world, it would be hell for Cyrus as he is just in histe 30s. Chapter 491 - Team Galactic On The Move As Julian thought about how to handle Cyrus, Cynthia''s phone rang startling them both, Cynthia had kept her phone in silent and only emergency calls would ring. Cynthia quickly picked up the call and answered it. ?? Cynthia "What is it?" She asked the person that called her. "It''s Team Gctic, they are on the move again, they are currently heading towards Mt. Cor, all three Admins of Gctic have been spotted heading towards Mt. Cor from different parts of Sinnoh, it is possible that Cyrus is on the move, no one is high enough in Team Gctic ranking to order such a huge scale movement" The person on the other end said. This person is one of the main agents sent by the main headquarters of the League, knowing that things might go south in Sinnoh the League decided to make a huge move as even the Underworld seems to be involved. Julian "What is it?" He asked. Cynthia "It''s Cyrus, he seems to be making a move" She said. Julian "So fast, I thought he would stay in the ind for few more days,ing out now is a stupid move, unless he messed it up and did something" He said. Cynthia "The whole Team Gctic is on the move, they are heading towards Mt. Cor, it is only possible for Cyrus to make the Team Gctic move in suchrge scale" She answered. Julian "How powerful is Team Gctic?" He asked. He didn''t know much about Team Gctic as he didn''t encounter them much, He left them in Cynthia''s hand as he thought the threat of the Cult was morepared to Cyrus and his little team, and he was right, it was very hard to track down the Cult and if he had failed to reach them in time who knew what might have happened. The high priest could have gained control over that Hydreigon and caused havoc across Sinnoh but now that is over he needs to focus on the current threat and that is Cyrus and his goons. Cynthia "Team Gctic is a huge organization, they have more than a thousand grunts under them, but they don''t have many leaders, their main force consists of three Admins and they are very powerful, each of them is as strong as a member of the Elite four but they are vicious which makes them really dangerous" She exined. Julian "What was Team Gctic up to till this day?" He asked with a frown on his face, it all seemed very convenient for Julian, Cyrus just escaped leaving Team Gctic all alone in Sinnoh with no one ordering them, he is certain that they were up to something but he cannot tell what. Cynthia "The League had few of their men keeping an eye on Team Gctic and they seem to be very low profile these past months while Cyrus was in hiding but when he was still in Sinnoh some of the Team Gctic members were seen in old ruins looking for something, too bad the agents working for the league couldn''t capture them" She said disappointed. Team Gctic was a real pain for her to deal with, the Organization is so big that it is hard to keep an eye on everyone and at that time she knew nothing about Cyrus and what he was up too, she did try to find out the main boss of Team Gctic many times but failed and when she was about to uncover the truth the Chief stepped in and told her that he will take care of it. Julian "Which ruins these might be?" He asked curious about the ruins that Cynthia mentioned. Cynthia "It''s the Sceon ruins" She answered. Julian "What''s special about these ruins?" Cynthia "Nothing much but there have been rumors that the Pokemon Unown appear inside the ruins, there is no hard proof but the locals im to have seen the pokemon scribbled in the walls of the ruins right in front of their eyes" She said. Hearing this Julian is a little surprised, as he personally thinks that Unowns are the most mysterious pokemons in the pokemon universe, he personally believes that they are closely rted to Arceus than any other pokemon, even the creation trio. He has read everything about Unowns, a single Unown is useless they say, it cannot do anything but they are indestructible but when they are a group they can create anything, bend reality, change matter and many other things that even the Creation Trio cannot aplish. It is also said that Unowns are even rarer than Mythical pokemons, so the locals of the Sceon iming that they have seen Unown seems like a thoughtless rumor to him but with the involvement of Team Gctic, he cannot leave out the possibility that something is or might be rted to these Unowns. Julian "Are you sure, its Unowns?" He asked for confirmation. Cynthia "I am sure and I think that Sceon ruins are the only ruins in Sinnoh that disy the scriptures and figures of the Unown so I am pretty sure" She said. Julian "Any idea what Team Gctic can gain from the ruins?" Cynthia "Not sure, the ruins in Sceon city are even older than the first civilization in Sinnoh, there are many stories and myths regarding the ruins and most of them are just false" Julian "There must be something that we are missing but it''s toote for us to think about it, whatever Team Gctic was up to, they were sessful and now that Cyrus is on the move, he is nning something big" He said with a worried expression, he was just one man, no matter how strong he currently is, the world is too huge for him to solve everything on his own. Cynthia "What should we do?" Julian "Keep an eye on Team Gctic and block every entrance way to Mt. Cor, when Cyrus appears to inform me as soon as you can, I will have to check the ruins in Sceon town and find out what was Team Gctic after during their reign in Sinnoh" He gave the instruction to Cynthia and she nodded, she quickly ordered the agents in the League to cover up all Mt. Cor entrance and not let anyone near it. Chapter 492 - Solaceon Ruins As Julian decided to leave another phone call arrived in Cynthia''s phone, she answered and Julian saw a frown creeping on her face, once the call ended she looked at him. Julian "What happened?" ?? He asked. Cynthia "Cyrus is already in Sinnoh, a yacht was found in a private beach with dead bodies inside, some prints were found that belonged to Cyrus, he seems to have killed the guards of the Underworld and left the yacht, this means that he escaped from the Ind, the underworld is after him, they will surely try to interfere and try to capture Cyrus before us" She said. Julian "I see, try to find what Cyrus did and inform me, I will be leaving" He said and left after kissing Cynthia goodbye, he got on Garchomp''s back and flew towards Sceon town where the ruins are, it didn''t take long for him to travel such distance, with Garchomp''s current flying speed it was really easy to travel around Sinnoh, it only took him four hours before he finally arrived at Sceon town, he has been in this town before but never stayed for too long, he didn''t know the ruins here would be this important. He asked some locals about the siting of Unowns and some of them said that they have seen them with their own eyes while others say that they are just hoax, Julian didn''t know who to believe until he sees them with his own eyes. He asked a local for the directions and finally arrived at the east side of the town where the ruins are located, there seem to be two entrances to cave entrances into the ruins, both of them are far apart from each other, one of the top and the other at the bottom. Julian entered the cave which is at the bottom with no though, he didn''t have time to waste around thinking about the cave he should enter. After entering the cave he could see nothing, it was totally dark, he had to call out Infernape to light up the path before him so he can see properly, once Infernape came out Julian could easily see the walls and the carvings on them. He saw drawings on Unowns everywhere, each of these Unowns was different from each other, he noticed that they were very simr to alphabets but they were more than just 26 that he is used to, some were very different from the alphabets from the current generation. Julian ''It seems like Unowns were the inspiration for the humannguage of this world, I always wondered how a wild pokemon could understand something a human says, maybe it''s possible because these worlds are derived from the Unowns itself? or maybe I am thinking too much into it'' He thought and put it aside, he came here to search for answers, Cynthia said that Team Gctic came here to do something and if he is right, this should have been right before Uxie was captured by Cyrus. Even though Uxie is pure of heart it shouldn''t have been captured so easily so there can only be one possible exnation, something from this ruin helped Cyrus obtain the Griseous Orb and captured Uxie so Julian needs to figure out what it is. If it is possible once, it''s possible again and he cannot let that happen. He went deeper into the ruins and he started to encounter some weird things, he realized that he has been walking around circles for five minutes after Infernape informed him about it, Julian is so busy thinking about the stuff that he didn''t notice at all and the walls around the cave didn''t help at all as it all looked the same. After carefully picking his ways he finally got out of the maze that he was trapped in to be greeted by another weird path, each of these paths led to a different room, there are three paths and three rooms at the end of it. Julian called out Absol from his Pokeball and asked him to walk one path, Gengar on the other and he and Infernape on the third path, Absol and Gengar are easily capable of waling through the dark but Julian is still human even with his body as it has been restricted. Hearing Julian both Absol and Gengar took and path and entered the room, Julian shared their vision and he entered the third room as well. When he entered the room he saw a small altar in the middle of the room, he could see the same in Gengar and Absol''s vision, this small altar has a cut out of a square te on it, it looks like something to fit perfectly inside it, the cut-outs had unique lines and markings in them which branched out of the alter and deep into the dark corner of the room. Julian instructed Infernape to light up the area, soon he found a small door, it was not big but enough for a human to crawl in easily. He also saw the same thing in Gengar and Absol''s vision. Julian ''Looks like these altar opens that small door there, what could have been on the other end?'' He thought and decided to crawl up into the small door and check out for himself. Chapter 493 - Rescue Mission After crawling into the small door, he had to struggle a little before finally getting to the other side, once he got there he noticed that all three doors lead to the same ce, here. Julian looked around and saw writings of Unowns everywhere, they were ced together like sentences, Julian doesn''t know how to read these characters so he had no idea what these characters meant then something caught his eye, a small altar and it seems like something was missing from it. ?? He walked closer to check the alter out, he carefully looked at the missing pattern on the alter and came up with only one answer, the missing part was shaped like a key, a very big key. Julian "A key? I wonder what it is?" He thought and started to go through his memories to search for anything rted to a key in Sinnoh''s mythical histories, he knew about the Orbs, the Spear pir, and other things but he never read about any keys. The pattern on the alter indicated that the key should be at least 50 cm in length. Julian "Which door does this key open too and how is it rted to Uxie''s capture?" He questioned and took a photo of the pattern left behind by this key, finding nothing else here he decided to leave, he will ask Cynthia about the key and see if she knows anything about it. After getting out of the Ruins, Julian fed his pokemons and put them back in their Pokeball and decided to leave, he needs to meet up with Cynthia and figure out their next move, the league is still looking for Cyrus, they believe that he is already in Sinnoh and nning his next move and the League wants to find him before he does anything stupid, Cyrus is a delusional psychopath, he doesn''t know the extent of destruction he is about to cause and neither does his Team Gctic. They are also kept in the shadow by Cyrus, they believe that they will rule over the current world, they had no idea that Cyrus ns to destroy it. While Julian is on his way to Cynthia''s current location on Garchomp he received a call from Cynthia. Julian "What happened?" He asked curiously. Cynthia "It''s the underworld, some of their elite guards were seen entering Sinnoh through a private channel, the League informant told us that they are here to bring Cyrus in dead or alive" She said. Julian "What did he do for the Underworld to send elite agents?" He asked. Cynthia "He killed the current leader of the Sinnoh Underworld named Zandar and escaped" She said. Julian was surprised by this, he had seen this man called Zandar before, he could tell that the man was dangerous but he didn''t expect he would die so soon. Cynthia "What about you, did you find something?" She asked curiously, she has heard about Sceon Ruins many times in her life but she never found anything there except the weird carvings and drawings of Unowns on those walls, even the locals said that they haven''t seen anything inside the ruins for years, some sightings of Unowns and that is all. But she doesn''t believe these rumors, seeing Unowns is like finding a bunch all Mews together, Unowns are said to live between two different dimensions acting as gatekeepers or the gate itself, they are even said to hold space and time together so it doesn''t go berserk. Julian "Yes, I did find something, I will meet you up and discuss it" He said. Cynthia "Ok, how long will it take?" She asked. Julian "Four hours" Cynthia "I will be waiting" The call ended and Julian asked Garchomp to hurry, Garchomp could increase his speed during this flight but anything that gets in his way might get severely injured, Garchomps are known to create sharp wind des while fast flight, their fins are extremely sharp and anything they touch with them during the flight might get cut into two. Luckily they cannot reach such high speed in an instant, they need five minutes to reach their top speed, some readings say that just form the speed of their flight they can cut down trees without touching them, well they are just sayings, to do that a Garchomp needs to fly a lot faster and no Garchomp has ever reached such speed. It''s speed have to rival a speed form Deoxys to do so. As Garchomp increased his speed Julian reached Snowpoint city half an hour early, he got greeted by Cynthia in a hurry. Julian "What happened?" He asked as he saw a worried look on Cynthia''s face. Cynthia "It''s the Underworld, some of Team Gctic members were captured by our agents but those elite guards of the Underworld came and started fighting out agents, it looks like they want to capture Team Gctic and to find Cyrus as well" Julian "So we are heading there to aid them?" Cynthia "Yes, its the only option, all those agents of ours are elites, we cannot let them die or their life would be a waste" Julian "Then let''s go, where are they?" Cynthia "Follow me" She said and called out her Garchomp and flew up in the sky, Julian also followed closely behind her as they headed towards the direction of Mt. Cor. Chapter 494 - Misunderstandings Cynthia soon brought Julian to a town that is very close to Mt. Cor, this is a very small town with only a few hundred people living here, their arrival did cause somemotion in the town but the locals didn''t dare to bother them, seeing that they were pokemons trainers with Garchomp, the locals decided to keep their distance, of course, the kids were more curious and approached them and sneaked peeks at them. Seeing two Garchomps was really rare for them, their vige is very close to Mt. Cor, so there aren''t many pokemon living in this area, do to cold and the ones who prefer cold environment live on the mountain itself, and Garchomp especially were very rare as they don''t like cold climates. ?? Garchomps know as the strongest pokemon in Sinnoh except for the legendaries and mythical, anyone who can train it is above any elite trainers. The kids got excited seeing the two Garchomp and some brave hearts tried to approach them, Julian just smiled and let the kids do their thing while he let Cynthia guide him towards a house in the middle of the town, from the looks of it, this house must belong to the town chief. He was indeed right, as they reached there Julian saw an old man on a wheelchair smiling at them, behind him is a youngdy about 15 years old. Vige Chief "It''s an honor for our vige to be visited by the Champion, please enjoy your stay in our humble and small vige" He said happily. Cynthia "Thankyou Vige Chief, we will be staying here for a few days, sorry for the inconvenience" She said and bowed her head. Vige Chief "No need to be so formal, if it wasn''t for these old bones on mine not working I would have held a huge feast for your arrival" He said andughed. Cynthia just smiled and said nothing while Julian watched how the kids tried to approach his Garchomp but as soon as they got closer he will turn around and scare them, at first the kids were really scared but it soon turned into a y. Even Cynthia''s Garchomp wanted to join in the fun but she had her ego sh with her mindset, she was Cynthia''s strongest and most trusted pokemon so she had to always put up a strict and noble front just like her trainer so she stood still. She just watched Julian''s Garchomp have all the fun with the kids, the kids got reallyfortable with Garchomp and one of them even grabbed onto his tail trying to get on his back but the kid would always be unsessful as Garchomp would just put the kid down on the ground. Vige Chief "You two must be tired, Selice, show our guest to the guest house" The Vige Chief told the girl behind him but to his surprise, he heard no answer from his granddaughter, he turned his head and saw his daughter staring at the man behind Cynthia with wide eyes and a shocked face. He once again looked at Julian to see why his granddaughter is staring at this man when the Champion of Sinnoh is standing right in front of her, she always mentioned how she admired Cynthia and wanted to be a strong trainer like her but now she isn''t even looking at her. Vige Chief ''Did she fall in love?'' He questioned himself and a thought came in his mind, his poor little Selice might get taking away from him by this handsome young man and he didn''t like the idea. He red at Julian and looked at Cynthia once again. Vige Chief "Miss Champion, who is this person?" He asked. Cynthia "He is mypanion" She said. She didn''t want to announce the world that they are in a rtionship, for now, apanion is enough. Vige Chief "So will this gentleman be staying here with you?" He asked. Cynthia "Yes, he will" Hearing this the Vige Chief got frustrated, he didn''t want to hand over his granddaughter to some unknown person who just appeared out of nowhere. Vige Chief "Then, when will be this person leaving?" He asked. Cynthia "Huh?" Selice "Huh?" Julian "Huh?" Even Julian turned around as he heard this question, he felt the atmosphere getting weird as he noticed the old man''s gaze has changed towards him all of a sudden. Julian ''What did I do to this old man?'' He though racking his head, from the moment he steps into this vige he just watched the kids y with his Garchomp. Julian ''No, wait does he thinks I am a pedophile because I was looking at the kids?'' He suddenly thought and didn''t know what to say. Julian ''Maybe I am thinking too much but what other reason could there be other than that'' He thought and looked at the old man with frustrated expression in his eyes, seeing the look in Julian eyes the Old man once again got the wrong impression. Vige Chief ''I knew it, this young man is no good, showing his frustration because of my question, I will never give away my sweet Selice to you'' He thought and looked fiercely at Julian, seeing how the old man was looking at him Julian became more certain that the Old man thinks he is a pedophile. Julian ''I think he really sees me as a pedophile, I need to clear my image'' He thought and sighed looking annoyed. Chapter 495 - Poor Village Chief Poor Julian he didn''t think that things would go down like this, being seen as a paedo was a huge strike to his ego, well this was his point of view if he knew what the old man was thinking he would puke blood from embarrassment. The vige chief didn''t want to leave his precious granddaughter with Julian anymore so he decided to tag along with Cynthia and show them to the guest house. ?? Vige Chief "Selice" He called her out. Selice looked at her grandfather awkwardly, she noticed her grandfather''s gaze on her suddenly changed, she knew her grandfather, she knew he hase up with another stupid usation of his own again, she didn''t want to embarrass him in front of her idols so he stayed quiet. Selice "Yes, Grandpa?" Vige Chief "Let''s escort our guest to the guesthouse" He said. Selice "Ok, you stay here while I show them to there" She said. She didn''t want to get embarrassed by her grandpa again but her grandfather had other ns. Vige Chief "Don''t worry, I have to see our guest to their quarters push me over with them" He said. Selice sighed and decided to do what her grandfather said, she then pushed her grandfather towards the guest house as Cynthia and Julian followed them, once they arrived at the guest house Julian sighed in relief, the house was pretty well built and spacious so they won''t have any trouble staying here, even some of their pokemons can sleep inside. Vige Chief "We will be leaving now, Miss Champion please rest well" The chief said and signaled his granddaughter to take him away, she sighed and nced at Julian before deciding to leave, of course, the old man saw this and got irritated but he couldn''te forth to scold his sweet granddaughter. Julian smiled awkwardly and decided to walk into the house and ignore the old man, for now, their main goal is to save the elite team that is currently holding the attack for the Underworld''s elite guards, these guards are no joke, they are trained to kill so it will get harder for the elite agents of the League to hold them off after some time. Luckily the agents form the League had already established a base for themselves so they have a lot of stored supplies and they can keep the Underworld''s elite guards in a stalemate before reinforcements arrive. From what he learned from Cynthia the Elite agents of the League can still hold on for a day or two before they run out of food and bullets to defend themselves, the Elite Guards of the underworld have cut away their way to make an escape trapping them in a corner, what they didn''t expect that the Elite agents would have a lot of supplies backing them up. Both Cynthia and Julian entered the house and checked out the rooms, everything was well maintained showing that the vige had spent quite a lot to build this guest house since their vige is very close to Mt. Cor many rich and influential peoplee here for vacation and this vige is a perfect ce for them to stay, the vige is surrounded by beautiful scenery and fresh air and they are far away from the civilization many people whoe here to escape from the busy and fast city that they live in. Julian sits down on the bed and sighs, seeing him like this Cynthia is confused. Cynthia "What happened?" She asked. Julian "Didn''t you notice how the Vige Chief was looking at me?" He asked. Cynthia "No" Julian "Well, I think he doesn''t like me, I have to clear my name or I will feel very ufortable" He said andughed. Cynthia "I see, that''s why he was acting weird when it came to you" She said and chuckled, she knew Julian didn''t like being mistaken for something he is not so it came to no surprise to her that he was acting as such. ____________________ Back in the vige chief''s house the Vige Chief and his granddaughter entered, the Vige Chief turned towards his granddaughter and sighed at her. Vige Chief "Look Selice, I know you are young and you want to try new things but I think you are still young to fall in love and be with a man" He said and lowered his head in sadness, well he was overacting because he loves his granddaughter too much. Selice is shocked by hearing this, she wondered what her grandpa came up with this but she didn''t expect him toe up with such a stupid scenario. She turns red in embarrassment as she heard this. Selice "Grandpa......" She said in a low voice and stared coldly at the old man, seeing his sweet granddaughter looking at him like this the Vige Chief realized that he made a huge mistake. Selice "Why are you always so eager to embarrass me, do you even know who that person is?" She shouted while pointing her finger aggressively at her grandfather. Vige Chief "I don''t but it''s not like he is any specialpared to the champion right, you always said that you are a big fan of the champion Cynthia but when I saw you having no interest in her I thought you fell in love with that pretty boy" He said in a low voice wanting to prove that he is not guilty. Selice "That person is not just anyone, he is Julian, knows for his undefeated record and the previous champion of Kanto region, if he hadn''t given up that position he would still be the Champion of Kanto" She said. Hearing this the Vige Chief''s eyes went wide as he realized what he just did, he picked a fight with someone who has even more influence than their champion, he has heard about Julian, young people of this generation are obsessed with his name, everyone wants to be like him, remain undefeated and reign over his opponents with pure power, but being old, he was not interested in the current world affairs. He just wanted to live in peace, he never watched television of following the current world affairs, he knew about Cynthia is because she is their region''s current champion and his granddaughter''s idle but he didn''t know that Cynthia''s ce was already taken away by Julian during his reign as the champion of Kanto. When Selice saw how Julian battled she became a huge fan and Cynthia moved to second in the list of the people she admired. Now that her idle was here in their vige her grandpa ruined everything by embarrassing her in front of him. Selice "Grandpa, I hate you don''t talk to me ever again" She said and rushed into her room and closed the door behind her leaving the old man stunned, he didn''t think his lovely sweet granddaughter would ever say that to him. Vige Chief "Seliceeeeeeeee, forgive your old man, I promise I won''t do it again, please talk to me" He started to wail in front of his granddaughter''s room but it was of no use and shepletely ignored him. If Julian knew about this he wouldn''t stopughing seeing this situation. Chapter 496 - Spear Key Julian and Cynthia rested in the vige for a while and let their Garchomps to recharge, they flew for a very long time and especially Julian''s Garchomp, he has been flying over a day over Sinnoh and Julian on his back. Both Julian and Cynthia talked about their strategy on how to tackle the current situation, both of them are strong enough to take on the whole Elite guards but they felt something was strange, why are the elite guards so focused on trying to snatch the members of the team gctic captured by the league''s elites and they are continued to pressure them, this didn''t feel right. ?? Julian "Something is definitely not normal, the Elite guards are acting weird, why are they so focused on normal team gctic members when they can go after the others, there are tons of them around Sinnoh or hiding in the vicinity of Mt. Cor" He said and looked at Cynthia wondering if she had any answers. Cynthia "I have no idea, if they are doing this it might be because they want to help Cyrus but why would they do that, Cyrus killed their leader and are in their wanted list" She said causing more confusion between them. Julian "Hmm, there is something else here and we can only figure it out when we go there but that might be their n from the beginning" He said. Cynthia "Yes, they might want us to focus on the current hostage situation and this will definitely help Cyrus a lot, with no strong member looking out there for Cyrus it is impossible to catch him" She said. Julian "How strong is Cyrus, by the way?" He asked. Julian knew Cyrus had a huge amount of fortune and power over Sinnoh but he had no idea about Cyrus''s personal power, what pokemons were in his control and how strong they are, if his pokemons are stronger than that of the elite four it will be very hard to capture him if Julian is not involved. Cynthia "He is pretty strong, stronger than the elite four and with the money he has he can easily groom pokemons powerful enough to battle me" She said. Julian "That is troublesome, what are the Elite Four up to?" He asked. The elite four of this region are strong but not on the same level as the once Julian has encountered before, trainers like Agatha and Drake are already Champion level trainers and because of their age they had to leave the Champion''s position while the elite four of the Sinnoh are all young except Bertha but her powers are not as high as her elder sister''s one of the Elite four of Kanto. Drake, on the other hand, could easily put on a grand battle against anyone of the Elite Four of the Sinnoh region and win over them, he can even give Cynthia a run for her money. Julian ''If what Cynthia''s saying is true it will be a lot harder to pin Cyrus unless I or Cynthia herself try to catch him'' He thought and looked at her. Julian "Let''s split up then" He said. Hearing this Cynthia is surprised but she decided to listen first. Julian "If Cyrus is really as strong as you describe him to be then it would be foolish to just let the Elite Four handle this, I will take care of the hostage situation and get rid of the Elite Guards of the underworld while you track down Cyrus and try to capture him, once I am done with the Guards, I will join you" He said and exined the process to Cynthia. She listened carefully and decided to go with Julian''s n, with Julian taking care of the hostage situation it won''tst long so he can easily get back on track and during that time Cynthia might be able to catch up to Cyrus and find what he is up to. As they were about to leave Julian suddenly realized something, he forgot to mention the missing key to Cynthia. Julian "Wait I need to ask you about something" He said and stopped Cynthia who was just about to leave, he had thought of asking Cynthia about the key but before he could she brought him here due to the current hostage matter. Cynthia "What is it?" She asked. It was notmon for Julian to stop her during such a crucial time so she wondered what it could be. Julian "Do you know anything about a key that might be shaped like this?" He asked and showed the image of the missing piece of the alter to Cynthia, seeing the image Cynthia''s eyes widened in shock. Seeing her reaction Julian knew something was up. Julian "What is it?" He asked. Cynthia "Its the Spear Key" She answered. She could hear the disbelief in her voice but she now knows that this thing is real. Julian "Spear Key? Is this rted to the Spear pir?" He asked. Cynthia "Yes, it''s an ancient forgotten legend, it stated that to open the gate to the world of the gods the Spear key is necessary, the wielder of this key will be able to open gates to multiple dimensions and have control over pokemons rted to this key" She said and paused looking at the pattern on Julian''s screen and continued to talk again. Cynthia "I thought this was a myth created by the old civilization so people don''t get too motivated to collect the orbs of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, it is said that with this key the orbs will be able to release their true powers gaining control over the power of gods" She said and released a heavy breath, her face could say it all, she is extremely worried now. Cynthia "Don''t tell me that Cyrus already has the key?" She asked. Julian "I think he does, it also exins why Uxie was captured, Uxie is rted to this key as it is one of the guardians that guards the gate that this key opens, it should have gotten tricked by Cyrus as he was in possession of this key" He said and pondered about how he should tackle the current situation. Cynthia "It''s all my fault, if I wasn''t cking around I could have stopped Cyrus from obtaining this key, I brought this disaster to my region, I am a traitor" She suddenly started to me herself for all the things that are happening. Julian "No you are not, you didn''t know about Cyrus at all, you couldn''t have expected this to happen, even I would have been in the same position if I were you, just be strong and we will win this, you have me by your side" He said and hugged her trying to release her from her sadness. Cynthia hugged him tightly, trying not to cry and be strong for now, she had someone strong to rely on so she can at least show her strong side to help him. Julian "It will be fine, I will take care of Cyrus, you focus on protecting the region if things go south". Chapter 497 - Saving The Elite Agents Cynthia knew it was no time to sit around and feel guilty about her actions and failures, she needs to move and try to track down Cyrus before things get out of hand. Julian let her adjust herself till she got back to her sense and told her to stay strong and concentrate on the current situation. ?? Julian "I think it''s dangerous for you to go alone, take my Absol with you" He said and called out Absol, Absol has been training none stop to reach the level of his seniors but he is not able to gauge their power at all, it is all blur to him, his seniors are literal nuclear weapons that could explode at any time from just one world from Julian and he wants to be at that level as well and help Julian in future. Julian "Absol protect Cynthia and her pokemons at all cost, I except great things from you" He said and patted his head and gave his Pokeball to Cynthia. Julian "He knows how to battle on his own, you don''t have tomand him, just concentrate on your pokemons and he will back them up" He said. Cynthia nodded and took the Pokeball and looked at Julian''s Absol, one of the champions of the Ever garden conference, Absol had disyed firepower far above any of her pokemons during the conference and a lot of time has passed till then, she cannot imagine how strong Absol has gotten. Cynthia "Please take care of me" She said and patted Absol''s head causing him to blush, he is not used to other people being affectionate to him except Julian so it was awkward for him, Absol knew that Cynthia is an important person to Julian so he decided to protect her at all cost, no matter what happens. Julian "Ok, you should leave now" He said and waved her goodbye as he watched her leave on her Garchomp, Julian also decided to leave soon after, he has already received the location of the base where the stalemate is taking ce, the Elite agents of the league are able to hold their own for now but it won''t take too long for the Elite guards to take them out, even though this might be a stalemate, Julian would do anything to save the lives of innocent people. The elite agents have risked their lives for the region and maintained its safety for the people that live here, Julian can at least help theme out of this unscathed. He also leaves the vige on his Garchomp as few vigers watch him leave, the kids who were ying with Garchomp tried to chase him but it was of no use Garchomp is way faster than anything they have ever seen. It didn''t take long for Julian to arrive at the location, a few minutes of flight and Garchomp is already hovering over the camp that has been built by the Elite Agents of the league. Julian looked around and noticed that these agents have really been surrounded by enemies everywhere, there are traps all over the ce and nowhere to escape. Julian "Garchomp, go down" Julian orders Garchomp to go down and see what happens, and as he expected as soon as he got near the camp some people started to shoot at him with powerful guns but there were all useless, Garchomp used Protect to block them off. The ones who were shooting at him where the Elite guards of the underworld that have surrounded the ce. This, of course, grabs the attention of the agents who are trying their best to remain calm and hoping for reinforcement to arrive and save them. When they saw a Garchomp flying towards them they thought it was the Champion herself who ising to rescue them as Cynthia is the only one capable of training one and also the only person in the whole league to have one. But when they saw a man riding the Garchomp they frowned and pulled out their guns, they had to be prepared, this person could be an enemy and seeing that he has a Garchomp with him this person is dangerous to them. Garchompnded on the ground creating a mini shockwave that traveled over the ground and blew away the dust around in a circr pattern. They all pointed their guns at Julian and slowly backed off while ready to shoot down if this person pulls of an attack, their pokemons were also ready to attack as well, ready to attack as soon as their trainersmanded. Julian "I am Julian, I came to help, Cynthia sent me" He said and put his hands up in the arm to show he was not holding anything and he came in peace and to help them. When they heard this the leader of the group walked forward to see if Julian is telling the truth or not but as soon as he saw the person''s face he got stunned, he didn''t even think in his wildest imagination that the Julian himself hase to help them. Chapter 498 - Disadvantage Of Overwhelming Power Leader "Sir Julian, wee, thank you foring to help us" He said and saluted Julian. ?? Julian felt awkward as he saw the agent saluting him, he remembered his time in his past life when he was an army general, he also had the impulse to salute back but he stopped himself. Julian "No problem, what is the current situation?" He asked. Leader "Things are fine now. we will be able to hold on for two days but our food supplies are already diminishing fast, our pokemons are hungry and to fight they need a lot to eat" He said and sighed. They were in a very bad position, anyone who tried to help them was attacked or chased away before they could even reach here that is why these men asked for a strong trainer to help them. Julian nodded. Julian "Ok, it''s about to be nightfall, let''s rest for the day and tomorrow I will take care of those idiots" He said and asked the leader to guide him towards an empty tent. _____________________ Outside the camp, few elite guards of the Underworld gathered around to discuss something. "Who was that just entered their camp?" Their captain asked. "We don''t know captain, but this person had a Garchomp" A guard said. Captain "A Garchomp? Was it the Champion?" He asked worriedly. "No the person sitting on top of it was a man and the Garchomp was a ck in color, it cannot be the Champion" The guard said. Captain "I see but we cannot let this pass, we are asked to drag this for as long as possible, if we do this we can gain our freedom from the Underworld, with Cyrus''s help we can be the citizens of Sinnoh, we cannot miss this chance" He said. "We understand captain, what should we do?" The guard asked. Captain "Rest for now and feed your pokemons, let them worry all night as they anticipate our attack, we will attack tomorrow again, they will not be able to hold on for much longer" He said. "But what about that person who just entered their camp?" The guard asked as he is still cautious about the current situation, they all wanted freedom from the underworld, the underworld was ok to live in but the people living there were oppressed, every male had to join the guards and every woman had to get into a business to maintain a steady cash flow for the underworld to operate. Once the men have finished their service and retired from the guard it was all over, they have lost the most precious time of their life to the Underworld protecting them with no reason, these men wanted out from it and take their family with them, it was the only option. Cyrus promised them that he can give freedom to them, even though Cyrus cannot be trusted, they had to risk it, it was their only hope from escaping that hell. Everything was the same there, one has to wake up, get to work,e back home, eat and sleep, there was no form of entertainment at all, there was no higher education system present there. It was worth the risk, that is what is going on inside their mind, Cyrus asked them to drag this even so he can make a run for his life and they will be able to achieve freedom. Julian, of course, has no idea of this but he was right about this event, these guards were not working for the Underworld but for their own benefit. The sun started to set and the sky turned orange, the guards kept on pressuring the agents for a while before finally stopping their fire, it was dark and dangerous to cause so muchmotion. Nighttime is when the true monsters of the foreste out, the real terror of the forest, the pokemons that habitat thesends, the pokemons of the night are strong and ruthless, they will attack anything that gets in their sight unless they are not confident in their victory. Julian''s camp is safe from the attacks by these pokemons because Gengar is in charge of the security, with his aura no pokemon will ever try to get near the camp, the Elite guards of the underworld will have some problem but they are better equipped to handle them so they don''t have to worry about it as well. All of them have to preserve their energy for the next day as things might get dangerous. Inside his tent Julian closes his eyes and meditate, it has been months since he calmed his thoughts and let go of the world around him, he was too focused on the things that are happening in Sinnoh. His thoughts were in Chaos so he decided to shut himself down and just meditate, his body started to channel Omniforce from the surrounding and hungrily started to feed on it, his body has already reached a level where pokemon attacks won''t do a thing to him, he can take a direct hit from a nuclear weapon ande out without a scratch, even though his strength is limited he liked it that way, he didn''t have to worry about continuously being under the pressure of keeping his specialty a secret, he always kept in mind that he was special, he cannot just go around and tell everyone he is indestructible. The world is a terrible ce, humans fear something that can suppress them, humans fear absolute power, they will rebel and turn on someone who has absolute power, so he cannot allow others to think that he is special in any way. Yes, he has powerful pokemons but there is still an idea that he can be killed, he can be handled, he can be defeated through numbers and this kept his life at ease. If people knew he is unkible they will start to fear him and his powers and Julian doesn''t want that, that is why he always let his pokemons do everything and not lift a finger against his opponents. And if somehow someone found out about him he will just wipe out their memories with the help of Gengar. Chapter 499 - Cat And Mouse Seeing Julian closed his eyespletely and falling into a meditative state, Crystal got curious, it came out of his pocket and tried to waking him up by poking his cheek, pulling his hair and nose but it was of no use, Crystal gave up and decided to copy him and see what is Julian really doing. Crystal closed its eyes and tried to stay calm for a few seconds but got bored pretty soon, it opened its eyes and looked at Julian trying to figure out what Julian is really up to. ?? Crystal thought that Julian might be even sleeping right now, it flew up towards Julian''s forehead and touched its red crystal on his forehead to ess his mind. Crystal as the ability to read minds when ites in contact with any other person or pokemon, this ability has been really useful to Crystal in many different scenarios but right now it found nothing but ckness inside Julian''s head. Seeing its ability is of no use Crystal decided to do something else, it floated out of the tent while being invisible so nothing can notice it, Crystal then looked around to see if there is anything to do for fun, it noticed some people walking around with guns in their hands and few pokemons following behind them, Crystal never understood these guns that people carry, it seemed dangerous but it could easily block them off as if it were nothing but people still feared them. Crystal then saw few pokemons eating food so it decided to have some fun and bother them by taking away their food but before it could do so it was stopped by Gengar. Crystal turned around and saw Gengar grabbing its tail and shaking his head with a grin on his face, Crystal was surprised by this, it didn''t expect Gengar to notice it at all, it has been trying to perfect the art of disappearing for months not but for some reason, Crystal can never fool Julian, Infernape and Gengar. Julian knew Crystal will do something if someone is not paying any attention to it so he decided to let Gengar take care of Crystal, well Gengar was not the best option but he was strong enough to not let any harme to Crystal. Crystal looked at Gengar with its big eyes making a very innocent face, of course, Gengar cannot fall for Crystal''s cuteness so he looked away. Gengar [Ge, I cannot let little Crystal have its way] Gengar though but he suddenly noticed that Crystal made an escape by slipping its tail away from Gengar''s grip while he got distracted, he looked around in confusion, trying to find Crystal, he then noticed Crystal at near the camp''s gate waving it''s small had at him with its little tongue sticking out teasing him. Gengar sighed and followed behind Crystal, it was his fault for teaching Crystal how to do mischief now he is regretting it, Crystal flew out of the camp and wandered into the dark forest, Gengar also increased his pace and followed right behind Crystal, the chase of cat and mouse began. Crystal being Crystal though this is another game and started to go round and round around the tree trying to confuse Gengar but this won''t work, Gengar went straight through the trees and caught up to Crystal. Crystal, of course, didn''t want to give up, it suddenlyunched a shadow ball at Gengar causing him to startle, the Shadow ball him but it had no effect on Gengar but it was able to shake him off as Crystal once again created some distance between them. Gengar got past the smoke that the Shadow Ball created and looked around to locate Crystal, he noticed Crystal heading deeper into the forest, Gengar giggled and went behind Crystal. He was not serious before but now Crystal wanted to piss him off, his speed increased several times and appeared right in front of Crystal startling it. Crystal once again pulled out a Shadow Ball out of nowhere and tossed it at Gengar at point-nk range but Gengar just swallowed it whole, seeing its attack didn''t work Crystal just shot forward and went right through Gengar''s body while it giggled. Gengar was surprised as well by this, but he suddenly realized that Crystal is a normal type and it can easily go through Gengar''s body as it''s immune to Ghost-type pokemons. Ghost-type pokemons are the most mysterious pokemons in the world, there are a lot of them but none of them can be studied like any other pokemons, people still don''t know where they came from, how they came to be and how is it possible for them to reproduce even though they arepletely dead, they have no heart, brain or muscles, they are just a living body of energy to which they have full control over and can present them in any state or form. The chase once again began and suddenly both Crystal and Gengar found themselves inside the enemy''s camp, they looked at each other and back at the enemy camp. They looked at each other again and started to giggle, they are about to do something and the Elite guards of the underworld won''t like it one bit. Chapter 500 - Unexpected Results Crystal and Gengar blended into the surroundings and started to absorb these people, some of these guards were on watch while the rest of them were asleep. Crystal and Gengar decided to mess with them, they first looked around the camp to find if anything can be used to have some fun, after looking around they came together and nned out their actions. ?? After finalizing what to do both of them separated to do their own part, Crystal went into the captain''s room and looked around, it saw a Mightyena and Houndoom sleeping next to the captain''s bed, Crystal changed its typing to water so that they cannot smell it and awake from their sleep, due to the water element water type pokemons can easily hide their smell without any trouble. Crystal then slowly approached Mightyena and suddenly used Ember on Mightyena''s tail causing it to burst in me, the Mightyena suddenly woke up from its sleep wailing in pain, hearing its wails both Houndoom and the Captain woke up from their sleep and looked at Mightyena with a surprised expression. Mightyena put out the fire and red angrily at Houndoom, of course, it would me the Houndoom as there is no one other than it that could use Fire-type attacks, pokemon having above-average intelligencepared to other animals could think but they are still not able to put any logic behind their thought unless they reach a very high level where they have umted a lot of experience from the world around them. Mightyena lunged at the Houndoom using Thunder Fang out of anger, the Houndoom dodged and growled at Mightyena telling it too back off but Mightyena feels humiliated as its tail was burnt in such a manner. It once again charged at Houndoom using Fire Fang, the Houndoom dodged it again and the Mightyenanded the attack on the tent''s wall causing it to catch fire. Of course, Crystal hadn''t expected this to happen, it just wanted to have some fun, it wouldn''t have thought that the Mightyena would get so pissed of by this, Crystal just blended into the air and watched the two pokemons quarreling while the whole tent was burning down. Of course, the captain is stunned by this, before he could even figure out what was happening his tent was already on fire, he quickly rushed out of the tent to save his life then he suddenly realized something, there were explosives inside his tent right under his bed. He started to drench in sweat and started to yell at his men, ordering them to make a run for their lives, the guards who were on the watch out saw the fire in the captain''s tent and quickly rushed to inform others. Gengar who was waiting to have some fun saw the tent burning and smacked his head, he though Crystal will be able to handle this but he didn''t think it would literally destroy the whole camp base, Gengar saw Crystal getting out of the burning tent and joined Crystal. They didn''t know that their little prank was about to end the whole camp in one go. They flew up in the sky to see what the guards are going to do, their initial n failed as everyone woke up because of the fire, then suddenly it happened. The tent which was on fire exploded and the explosion covered up everything around the area, the other tents were set on fire as well, and the other explosives also burst, all their guns also started to explode as it overheated from the fire. Crystal and Gengar looked at the carnage below them and were stunned, this shouldn''t have happened, luckily no one died as everyone escaped before the explosion even took ce, the captain of the team acted fast. They knew they had messed up so they decided to head back to Julian and never mention about this to anyone, when they got back they noticed that everything was the same as before, some agents were on the watch out while others were sleeping, Julian was also in the same position as before. It seems like they didn''t bother checking on that explosion because sometimes these explosions do ur in the middle of the night, not from firearms but from powerful pokemons battling for territory. The Elite agents thought that two pokemons were having a turf war so they decided not to interfere, little did they know that their problem has been solved already. Crystal went back into Julian''s pocket and Gengar into his shadow back to training his powers. If Julian knew this had happened he wouldn''t know if he should praise Crystal for solving the problem or scold it for going out on its own without his permission. Too bad he will never know about it ever and this thing will always bother him. The night became quiet again as Crystal fell asleep in Julian''sfortable front pocket and Gengar got busy in his own shadow dimension. Julian opened his eyes and looked around to see nothing has happened during the time he was out, his mind is calm and purified of the thought that gued him before, he looked at his pocket and saw Crystal sleeping innocently with its tiny finger in its mouth, he smiled walked out of the tent. Julian ''This little one, I thought Crystal would be causing trouble all around the ce while I was out, well it seems to be asleep and didn''t cause any trouble, thank god''. Chapter 501 - Surprised Since was already dark Julian decided to rest for the day, he went to sleep to wake up next day very early, he walked out of his tent and saw most of the agents are already up and doing their morning training, Julian decided to leave them alone and feed his pokemons before doing anything. After feeding his pokemons he sent them back and approached the leader to discuss their strategy on how to handle the guards that have been camping outside and slowly closing in. ?? Julian "Do you have any ns?" Julian asked the Leader. Leader "No we don''t, they have more men, more pokemons and more firearms, we arepletely outnumbered and outmatched, that is why we asked for reinforcements" He said looking hopefully at Julian. Julian avoided the leader''s look and nodded his head, it was obvious that these people couldn''t hold off the attack for much longer but Julian is surprised that they don''t have any backup n, he wondered what would have happened to them if he didn''te here. Julian "Did anything happen yesterday night?" He asked. It''s better to be informed of everything that has happened so he won''t be in a mess if something happened that he didn''t expect. Leader "Nothing much, there was an explosion but it must have been the pokemons battling for territory, these part of the forest is filled with powerful pokemons and these battles aremon at night" He exined. Julian "Fine, get ready I will be in front and attack them head-on, you just cover me" He said. It will be a waste of time for him toe up with a n to deal with guards who won''t be able to even put up a fight against his Garchomp. The leader nodded and informed his men to gear up, Crystal seems to have woken up as well and looked around popping its head out, it saw that it was already morning, it remembered what it didst night and went back into the pocket trying not to stand out, it felt guilty. Julian didn''t notice this behavior from Crystal and continued with his own preparations, once the whole team was ready they set off, Julian got on top of Garchomp and flew up in the sky and towards the direction where the Elite Guards of the Underworld have set up their camp, he decided tounch and quick and swift air attack on these people andpletely destroy them before they could even retaliate, Julian had already ns for other things, such as catching up with Cynthia and finding Cyrus, he had called her right before heading here but her answer was that she is still searching for him. She also seems to have encountered a bunch of Elite Guards who tried to block her path, he already knew that Cyrus has already made the Elite Guards turn side and support him, he didn''t know what was the reason the Elite Guards were supporting him but it didn''t matter. Cyrus has to go and along with him, anyone that supports him. Soon he arrived above the Elite Guard''s camp but what he saw surprised him, he saw the ck charged ground and lots of craters around the area, there were men sitting around in a circle with their pokemonpletely disappointed in themselves. Julian "What happened here?" He thought and patted Garchomp''s head signaling him to fly down, Garchomp dove down andnded on the ground within a second causing the ground to quake startling everyone who is sitting here. The Elite Guards looked at Julian and his ck Garchomp, they realized that it was the same man that entered the camp of the Elite Agents of the league that they were supposed to suppress. Julian looked at them in a confused expression, and the guards understood why Julian is looking at them with such expression, even they would have the same expression if they were a reinforcement team and the ones they were about to battle have been destroyed before they even got into the battlefield. The Captain of the group got on his feet and looked at Julian. Captain "Hey? aren''t you looking down on us, justing here by yourself, even though most of our weapons have been destroyed doesn''t mean that we are helpless as we still have our pokemon" He said and pulled out his Pokeball but he suddenly paused as he saw the League''s Elite agents surrounding them with guns in their hand and their fresh and healthy pokemons right behind them, the Captain realized that it was useless to resist, due to their bad luck they lost their main source of battle, their pokemons worked overnight to put out the fire and now they arepletely exhausted. Captain "We surrender" He said and went on his knee letting go of his Pokeball, Julian on the other hand still doesn''t know what happened here, he saw the Leader of the league agent handcuff the guards and ordered his men to take them away, the leader then walked towards Julian and bowed his head. Leader "Thank you very much, Sir Julian, I didn''t think you would have finished them before we could even make a move, as expected of the strongest trainer" He said and started to praise Julian. Julian "Huh? You got it wrong, this ce was already in ruins when I got here, integrate those men and ask what happened here" He said clearing the misunderstanding. The Leader nodded and walked away without saying anything, even though he mistook that situation, it didn''t matter, the enemy is now captured, it doesn''t matter who did this, it was their advantage. Julian "Let''s head back then, I want to ask them some questions as well" He said and got on his Garchomp and flew back to the camp. Chapter 502 - Questions Julian got back to the camp and waited for the rest toe back with the captured guards, it didn''t take them long before they were back in the camp, they put the guards next to the team gctic members who were captured by the agents before. When the Leader was about to enter and interrogate the Guards Julian stopped him. ?? Julian "I have some questions for him, you don''t mind do you?" He asked the leader. The leader hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing to Julian, even though Julian had nothing to do with the capture of these guards he still came to their rescue and someone of status like Julian is not a person he could afford to offend/ Julian entered the tent and found the captain of the guard handcuffed into a table so he cannot escape, all of their pokemons have been confiscated by the agents as well, the captain saw Julian entering the room and ignored him. Julian sat down right in front of him and looked at the captain. Julian "So you work for Cyrus huh? why? what did he offer?" Julian asked. Hearing this the captain got surprised, he hadn''t told this to anyone, only his team knew about this, not even the Underworld is aware of it but this man in front of him knows. Well Julian is just taking a guess out of the blue and he is 99 percent sure that is the case, he just wants this man to confirm it that is all. Seeing the captain struggle Julian already got his answer, as he expected Cyrus was the one behind this, seeing Julian staring at him even without moving a muscle the captain got more intimidated by this. Captain "Yes we are working for Cyrus" He answered atst. Julian "Why? What did he offer?" Julian is still not moving from his spot, his eyes are fixed on the captain ring him, trying to intimidate him. Captain "Cyrus told us that he would give us and our family freedom if we helped him, he will help us get out of that ind" He said. Hearing this Julian finally understood what was happening, Cyrus must have given all these men false hope, Julian had seen the people living on the ind, even though everything seemed normal they were all ves at the end of the day. They had no education, no entertainment and the most important, no freedom, Cyrus can easily manipte these men as their desire for freedom is more than anything but they didn''t have the power to rebel against the leader of the ind, they all had weapons and pokemons while the locals living there didn''t have such privilege, they were not allowed to rear pokemons, the only ones who could do so where the elders who have already contributed all their life to the Underworld''s cause and sacrifice their youths. Julian "Hmm, I understand, the hunger for freedom is something one cannot resist" He said and sighed pitying this man in front of him, his whole life he spent inside that ind, training like hell, giving up his youth for a cause he had no idea about. The Captain was surprised by Julian''s words but he didn''t say anything, Julian is his enemy right now, he cannot show weakness. Julian "What happened in the camp?" He asked. He felt it was really weird, why were there so many craters on the ground, he remembered smelling the gun power in the air but didn''t think much about it at that time, he didn''t understand why would these people blow up their own camp. Captain "It was because of a fire caused by my pokemons, they suddenly started fighting and causing my tent to catch on fire, the explosives that were under my bed blew up and it blew up the other explosives in the camp along with all the firearms and guns that were stored there" He said and sighed. Hearing this Julian didn''t know what to say, two pokemons fighting and causing trouble, it was just like his pokemons always causing mischief. Julian ''Thank god my pokemons haven''t blown up anything yet'' He thought and pitied this man in front of him once again. Julian "How man guards havee to the Sinnoh maind?" He suddenly asked this question thinking about something that just came to his mind.'' Captain "About hundred" He said. Julian "Are all of them working for Cyrus?" Captain "I don''t know, we haven''t kept contact with another group, we didn''t want to get exposed for betraying the Underworld" He said. Julian thought about something and got up from his chair and walked out, as he walked out he saw the Leader waiting outside. Julian "I don''t want anything to happen to that man or his team, tell the league that I will be responsible for them" Julian said. Hearing this the leader is shocked but he didn''t say anything, he was not in a position to argue, now he just has to ry Julian''s words to the league and let them decide. Chapter 503 - A New Faction This matter was clearly over and Julian decided to leave, he knows that the league will take their time before they make a decision on Julian''s request, these guards are elite soldiers and they are treated as disposals by the underworld, they want freedom more than anything so Julian decided to make his own team. What Juliancked right now is manpower, as he got stronger he realized that he alone cannot make a huge impact, he needs a team that will work for him and this might be the perfect opportunity. ?? These were all well-trained men. If Julian can give them what they want they will follow him. Till the league contacts him he will have to find Cynthia and talk to her about this, having an own team filled with high-level agents is not a small thing, the league will feel pressured, some will agree, some will deny but with Cynthia''s help it can be possible. He quickly texts her to ask her about her location, it doesn''t take long before a GPS location is sent to him by her, Julian follows the GPS tracker and soon arrives near Mt. Cor, right outside Mt. Cor he sees a small cottage where Cynthia is currently taking a break, he sees Cynthia''s ceon keeping a watch outside. Since this is a snowy area her Garchomp isn''t suitable to be outside in this cold weather, Garchompnds right in front of ceon scaring it and causing it to take a step back, Garchomp chuckles but he soon gets smacked on the head by Julian. Julian "Don''t cause unnecessary trouble" He scolded Garchomp, Garchomp lowered his head in embarrassment while ceonughed looking at him. Julian returned Garchomp back to his Pokeball and walked into the cottage, he saw Cynthia sitting on a couch near a firece looking at her tablet, the tablet disyed a 3D map of Mt. Cor, she is so deep into it that she didn''t even notice Julian entering the cabin. He walked behind her and ced his hand on top of her shoulder causing her to jump, scared out of her wits, she turned around and saw Julian smiling at her, she got angry and tried to punch him in the face. Cynthia "It''s not funny" She yelled. Julian "Then you should be more vignt" He said with a smile. Cynthia "I have ceon on the watch" She replied back annoyed. Julian "What if someone sneaked up behind it and put it to sleep?'' He asked. This time Cynthia had no answer. Cynthia "Ahhhh, it''s just, this Cyrus, he has been ying me for a whole day and I am still not able to track him down" She said in frustration and sat down on the couch once again, Julian then sat next to her and put his arm around her shoulder andforted her. Julian "Don''t worry, he cannot run for much longer" He said. Cynthia "What happened to the rescue mission?" She asked. She was also distracted because of this, she constantly worried about what he was up to and if anything happened to him. Julian "I didn''t even do anything, they didn''t even need me" He said andughed. Cynthia "What do you mean by that?" She asked. Julian then exined to her what happened, hearing the whole story Cynthiaughed, she finally smiled. Julian "There is also one more thing I need to do" He said. Cynthia "What is it?" Julian "I want to form my own faction of men who will work directly under me" He said. Hearing this Cynthia is surprised by this, she didn''t expect Julian to make such a decision. Cynthia "Why? All of a sudden?" She asked a little concerned. Julian "The captain I met today, I felt something when I was talking to him, his regretted his life, he wanted freedom for himself and his loved ones, the Underworld is using them as disposable but for me, they can be a lot more importance, I will give them what they need and they will have to work for me, that is all" He said. Cynthia "I think I understand but it will be hard, the league won''t approve of it" She said. Julian "They will if you put some pressure, other than Lance you are the only one with more influence in the League, with your help, I will be able to form this team" Cynthia "What about the public, you will attract a lot of attention" She said. Julian "I know that is why my identity will be of the legendary trainer that showed up in Kanto and Hoenn" He said and smiled. Cynthia "So it was you" She said but there was no huge reaction in her voice, she had put two and two together to connect Julian and the legendary trainer together but she had no confirmation about it but ow she does. Julian "Yes, to the public eyes this faction of mine will be under the leadership of the legendary trainers and only few people will know my real identity. You, Chairman Goodshow and some main executives of the league, with their source they should have already found out that the legendary trainer is me so they won''t mind it, not even the members should know about my true identity" He said. Cynthia "I see, but why do you really want to do this, it not just for helping those men to gain freedom right?" Julian "Yes, it''s for the greater good, I realized that no matter how strong I get I cannot save everyone all alone, I need a team who will be there for the people when I am not around" He said. Cynthia "I think I understand". Chapter 504 - A Deceiving Illusion Julian''s decision to create his own faction was a huge surprise to the League but they didn''tpletely ignore it. If Julian did create a faction it can be useful to them. The leader of the Elite agents informed the league about the captured guards and how Julian said he will take the responsibility for them, these elite members of the league work for the main branch so the leader directly answers to the President Goodshow and other executives. ?? Hearing Julian will take responsibility for these guards they had no idea what Julian was nning then they got a call, it was from one of their strongest members, Cynthia. She soon exined Julian''s n to them and showed her support for Julian''s cause, hearing this the League were put in a weird position, they are above the government in thebined regions and having a faction that is under Julian can affect the power bnce but that doesn''t mean it was disadvantage to them. The League is there to protect the regions and its citizens and Julian also follows the same ideology but the only thing he doesn''t do is listen, he doesn''t like being under someone. The President and the other Executives of the League decided to discuss it, they still need some time before agreeing to it. ___________________ Back to Julian and Cynthia they started to look for Cyrus once again, Cynthia told him that she has been chasing Cyrus for quite a while now and whenever she got close to him she lost his sight again, it was as if something was blocking them from reaching him. Julian "Maybe some pokemon is behind it" Julian said. Cynthia "That could be a possibility, I don''t think Cyrus can hide for this long without leaving a single clue behind" She said. Julian "Well if a pokemons is involved things are going to be a lot harder" He said and started to think about some solutions. Even though his pokemons are strong that doesn''t mean they are immune to illusions and mind tricks and what Julian has heard from Cynthia till now, he thinks that they are either illusions and mind tricks. If its mind tricks it could be handled but if it''s an illusion thing can be different, Gengar can, of course, find someone or something inside an illusion but before that, the person can easily make an escape, their opponent is not trying to fight with them but run. And this is a troubling aspect, even if Gengar manages to find the culprit behind these illusions it doesn''t mean they will be able to find Cyrus, he could be hiding anywhere, he could have even created his own illusion to confuse Cynthia into circling around the area with no luck of finding him. Julian decided to figure out which pokemon is behind this and with it, he will be able to find Cyrus, find the pokemon, find the trainer, it is a simple n but finding one pokemon which can create illusions in such a huge ce will be thought and they don''t have much time. Who knows that Cyrus is really up to. During their time together searching for Cyrus, they came across some of the Team Gctic members trying to sneak into Mt. Cor but they were stopped by Cynthia and she literally destroyed them at once, she has been pretty frustrated because she was not able to find Cyrus so seeing Team Gctic sneaking around, she didn''t hold back. After destroying them she interrogated them but it was of no use, they had no idea where Cyrus is currently hiding, they were just instructed by their Admins to reach as high as they can on the mountain and block''s anyone''s path if they try to get through. Hearing this both Cynthia and Julian frowned, even though these idiots didn''t know where Cyrus is they did give something to them. After calling an arrest team and handing over the captured members to the league agents Julian and Cynthia looked at the top of the mountain. Julian "If they were said to block off the entrance of the top of the mountain, that means that Cyrus has already reached the top" He said. Cynthia "Shit, I knew it, something was wrong, why would Cyrus just run around the area trying to keep me away from the mountain top by using a pokemon" She said and cursed. Julian "Then, let''s go up, we have to stop him before anything happens" He said and pulled out his bike, he cannot fly up the mountain with Gengar as its not a perfect habitat for him to fly, with the cold winds blowing high in the sky it will affect him and he might get sick if he is exposed to the cold too much, Cynthia also had the same concern. Julian pulled out his bike and decided to ride up the rocky mountain as it was the only way, Cynthia grabbed onto him tightly as they rode up the mountain. Chapter 505 - Zoroark? While riding up the mountain road Julian noticed something weird. he saw no pokemons around the area, Thest time when he was here he encountered a lot of them but now there seems to be none around, even the system couldn''t detect any pokemon hiding inside their holes and dens. Julian "Something is wrong" ?? He said warning Cynthia, she looked around trying to find out what but she couldn''t see anything. Cynthia "What is it, I don''t see anything" Julian "That''s what''s wrong, this path should be brimming with pokemons of high level but I can''t even see one of them" He said. Cynthia "Maybe they are hiding? Julian "No, they are not around, something must have happened" He said concerned. Cynthia "What could it be?" Julian "Maybe we will find out about it once we reach the top, I guess" He said and increased the speed, as they got closer to the maze that leads to the spear pir the road became very hard to ride on, Julian had to put it away and walk from there onward. Cynthia "How do we get to the spear pir?" She asked, not many knew the exact location of the spear pir, legends told that the spear pir is on top of Mt. Cor but no one could confirm it, the peak of the mountain was covered with thick fog and clouds, the peak couldn''t be seen even from the top using nes and helicopters, if someone tried to go past the fog would nevere back. So people gave up on finding the Spear Pir. Julian "Through the maze, I have been there once before" He said. Cynthia "You have been there? how is it like?" She asked curiously. From a very young age, Cynthia has been curious about the legends behind the legendary pokemons that control the universe and the ruler of space, time, and matter, she wanted to learn about them, she wanted to know more about them and anything rted to them. It was one of her wish to find out the real truth behind these pokemons, of course, there is a lot of information about these pokemons in ancient writings and scripts but most of them have never been seen or proven, only 10% of it has been confirmed to be true, and the remaining 90% of the writings still needs to be proven. The Spear Pir belongs to the remaining 90% as well, no one has ever seen it in person or how it looks like, it is only known in legends that the Spear Pir is used to open the gate to the world of the legendary pokemons. When she heard that Julian has seen Spear Pir she became excited. Julian "Yes, it was months ago, I found some abnormalities around and decided to check, that is when I saw Cyrus with the Griseous Orb and took it away from him without him noticing" He exined what happened during the time he was at the Spear Pir" Cynthia "How does the Spear Pir look?" Julian "It is very tall, it''s hard to see the top of the spear, it is as if the whole ce is in another dimension separate from this" He said fascinating Cynthia. Suddenly Julian stopped and looked around, he felt something weird around here, he felt a presence but he couldn''t see it, and it looks like this thing was able to pass through his defense and affected him in some way, as he was talking to Cynthia he didn''t expect this to happen. He looked around but he couldn''t find this thing, he felt it was near but couldn''t pinpoint it. Julian ''System, scan the surroundings, what is happening?'' He ordered the System, in this type of scenario the system was very helpful. System ''Host and host''s partner along with his pokemons are inside an illusion created by a powerful pokemon'' It gave the answer, hearing this Julian was surprised. If it was an illusion Gengar should have noticed it by now but even he didn''t find anything weird about it, meaning that the source of illusion was something that is stronger than him or is of a dark element which makes it harder for him to realize what is happening. Julian thinks that its thetter reason because not many cane close to Gengar in power. Julian ''What pokemon is it?'' He asked. System ''This scale of illusion can only be created by a Zoroark, they can create illusions strong enough to put 100 people inside the same illusion making them think that it is reality, and a stronger one can exceed the limit and can even make people think that they are touching things or feeling pain without any injuries'' Hearing that the possible culprit might be a Zoroark Julian nodded. If Zoroark is really behind this that it is possible, they are said to be the master of illusions and can full anyone, and from the looks of it, the one who has put them under this illusion is a strong one, even effecting Gengar. Julian ''Cynthia hasn''t noticed it yet'' He thought and looked around, when Cynthia saw Julian looking around weirdly she got curious. Cynthia "What happened?" Julian "We are in an illusion" He said startling Cynthia, she looked around and saw no difference in the surroundings, she wouldn''t have even realized it if Julian had not told her about it. Chapter 506 - Stronger Than Champion Cynthia couldn''t believe that they were inside an illusion, it happened to her again, she had been searching for Cyrus for quite a while but every time she got close she will lose him and she found out the reason why. It''s because of these illusions, she has been affected by it but never found out when and how. ?? She looked at Julian for answers. Julian "As we discussed before this might be a work of a pokemon, I think its a Zoroark as it is the only pokemon capable of creating such illusions" He exined to her. Cynthia "A Zoroark, it exins why I am not able to find Cyrus, so does he have a Zoroark helping him?" Julian "It is possible but I don''t understand why would he be here if he can be on top of the mountain unless the Zoroark is acting alone or someone else ismanding it" He said frowning. Zoroark is not a pokemon of Sinnoh region and they don''t like interaction with people and they are also very sensitive to emotions and people''s feelings, they are intelligent pokemons as well, most of them would try to stay far, far away from people like Cyrus but why is it helping him. Right now he cannot find any answer, he has to find the Zoroark and defeat it before getting out of this illusion, it could be done easily but first, he needs to find it which will be the most difficult part of the job. Julian and Cynthia then continue their way up the mountain, they know that they are walking inside an illusion but its better than nothing, Julian told his Gengar to be on alert and take notice of anything that is happening around them. Even he is on high alert, his system is also continuously scanning the surroundings trying to find any life around, it didn''t take long for the System to notice something, it found a life form near them, Julian also noticed that they have been going around in circles for quite a while now, they are in the same height as before they got into this illusion. Julian also felt a gaze on him soon after, it told him that the pokemon he is looking for is quite near, it had been ying with them for quite a while but now it cannot run away, the System has locked into it and so does Julian. Julian [Gengar, found the target, attack] Julian gave the ordered and Gengar didn''t waste any time, he rushed out of Julian''s shadow towards the direction where the pokemon is hiding, Gengar used Shadow w and rushed towards a huge boulder without holding back. His speed was beyond his opponents, the Pokemon who created this illusion saw Gengaring towards it in a blur, it knew it was in danger but it couldn''t dodge Gengar''s attack, it quickly destroyed its illusion and focused on protecting itself, it used Protect and blocked Gengar''s Shadow w, the Protect was able to hold of Gengar''s Shadow w for a few seconds before signs of cracks started to show off, the Protect finally shattered but the pokemon got enough time to make an escape. When Julian saw the pokemon who was behind this illusion, he got surprised, he saw a Honchkrow, he is shocked, he couldn''t believe what he saw. Julian "How can a Honchkrow create illusions like this? Wait ah, how could I forget, Gengar Shadow Ball" Gengar created several Shadow Balls and sted it at the Honchkrow, the Honchkrow but it couldn''t dodge all of the attacks, one of the Shadow Ball hit it and the Honchkrow started to fall down, it crashed on the ground and finally revealed it''s true colors, the Honchkrow suddenly changed into Zoroark. This is one of Zoroark''s little tricks, they can change into other pokemons using their ability, they are even better than a Ditto at coping appearance but once they get an attack they return to their original form. The Zoroark stood back on its feet and looked at Gengar, Julian is also surprised that this Zoroark was able to take that hit from Gengar, he could already tell that this Zoroark is stronger than a Champion level pokemon. A wild pokemon achieving such high level is near impossible but it has been done before, there have been rumors about some wild pokemons that couldn''t even be handled by the champions but they are very rare, as rare as a mythical pokemon. Julian "If you are able to catch this Zoroark, your team''s power may increase by a lot" He said looking at Cynthia, she looked at the Zoroark and got serious, she could tell that this Zoroark is really strong but she is tempted to catch it, with Zoroark by her side and its ability to create illusions is really useful. Cynthia "I will take the chance" She said and took out a Pokeball, seeing this Julian smiled, he is not going to interfere in this battle, it was Cynthia''s to win and catch Zoroark. If he interferes in between the Zoroark might not want to train under Cynthia as it would think that its trainer is weak and not worthy. The same problem was faced by Ash as well, when a pokemon is way stronger than the capability of a trainer, they tend to ignore or even abandon and run away from them. Cynthia needs to do this by herself. Chapter 507 - Cynthia Vs Zoroark Julian looked at the Zoroark, it is a male and a powerful one, the system already told him that the Zoroark is a wild pokemon meaning it has not been caught before, so he doesn''t belong to Cyrus, this also made Julian wonder about why this Zoroark is really helping Cyrus and how did this Zoroark even got here. This is not a habitat where a Zoroark thrives, they are mostly found in Unova, there have been sightings of Zoroark in Sinnoh recently meaning that they have somehow migrated over here or been introduced to Sinnoh by humans. ?? Julian ''Cyrus mush have something on him'' He thought and called back Gengar, this will be a tough battle for Cynthia. If she loses nothing will happen but if she wins, she will get a massive boost for her team. As Gengar stepped back Cynthia walked forward and tossed out her Pokeball, she sent out her ceon being an Ice-type it was suitable for this kind of climate and it could have an edge over Zoroark in this aspect to counter Zoroark''s power. Julian "Be careful, it won''t be an easy opponent" He warned her. If she really loses and the Zoroark makes a move on her or her pokemon he will have to step in and stop Zoroark from causing further destruction. Julian has no idea who is going to win this, of course, the Zoroark is much stronger than Cynthia''s ceon but she didn''t be a champion for no reason, she is an experienced pokemon trainer, during her time rising through the ranks she has faced opponents stronger than herself and defeated them to be a champion that she is now. The Zoroark stares at Cynthia''s ceon and growls showing off its sharp teeth to intimidate ceon but it''s of no use, ceon has seen many scary pokemons during its time following Cynthia and helping her during her battles. Seeing the ceon has no intention of backing down the Zoroark decides to attack, it uses Night Daze, its signature move, it creates a big ball of dark energy surrounded by chain-like elements, these chains are revolving around the ball separately and emitting powerful waves. Julian is also surprised by this move, it''s his first time seeing one, the Night Daze is shot at ceon at high speed but Cynthia has no intention of taking this hit directly, she knows she cannot risk being hit by Zoroark''s moves as they all are powerful and can seriously hurt her ceon. Cynthia "ceon dodge it" Her ceon quickly moves out of the way by using the rocky walls next to it and jumping off far away from the attack, the Night Daze crashes on the rocky walls andpletely destroy it showing the power behind it. Cynthia nods her head as she made the perfect decision. If she had decided to take the attack head-on her ceon would have been injured. Cynthia "ceon, use Icy Wind" Hearing her ceon blows out Icy Wind from its mouth causing Zoroark to back off while covering his eyes, the attack didn''t have much effect on him as he is a lot stronger but it did give Cynthia a chance to attack once again, during a battle one should be aware of their opponents, covering his eyes was a mistake made by Zoroark and Cynthia will exploit it. Cynthia "Now, Icicle Spears" ceon then created multiple Ice Spears, they all are long and sharp, powerful enough to take down any Elite level pokemons, ceon shot them at Zoroark who didn''t see iting. The Ice Spearsnded on his body causing Zoroark to back off while holding his stomach, two of the Ice Spears hadnded directly on his stomach causing some damage to it, even though Zoroark have high Attack and Special Attack theyck in both their defense aspects and Cynthia knows about it, she is a Champion, after all, she has learned how to deal with all kinds of pokemon as she might encounter them. Even Julian is not as well prepared as her when ites to arsenals that she has, Zoroark roared and charged at ceon at high speed while using Night sh, he is fast, even faster than ceon so Cynthia calls out her next move. Cynthia "Use Protect" ceon uses Protect and blocks of the first Night sh but the Zoroark doesn''t want to stop, he raised his ws up in the air and used another Night sh, he wants to break the shield protecting ceon but Cynthia knows what she is doing. Cynthia "Now use Charm" ceon uses Charm by acting cute and winking at Zoroark, a pink aura suddenly evolves Zoroark as the power of this physical attack decrease drastically, the Night sh that he was about to use loses lots of its power and when it strikes the shield in front of it, only little damage is done. Cynthia has sessfully cut of Zoroark''s Physical Attacks now she can worry less about them but it doesn''t mean the battle is over. Cynthia "Now Ice Beam" While the Protect is still on ceon uses Ice Beam, the Ice Beam hits the Protect from inside and suddenly forms an ice wall between itself and Zoroark as the Protect disappears, shattering from inside. Julian is fascinated by seeing this, he has never seen someone use Ice Beam for defense. Julian ''No wonder she is the Champion'' He thought and smiled. Chapter 508 - Cynthia Vs Zoroark (2) Cynthia is focused on this battle and is giving her all, she has the advantage right now because of all the experience she has gathered by being a pokemon trainer for so long and training every day, reaching this level. Even Julian wouldn''t be able to reach such a level without his Omniforce and System backing him up, he is a cheat and he knows it that is why he respects every trainer that has reached the top of this world. ?? Zoroark looked at the huge ice wall in front of him and backed off, it the Protect hadn''t stopped the Ice Beam, he would have been the one frozen on the spot, it wouldn''t have caused him a lot of damage but during the time he would have been frozen, Cynthia could have easily exploited him and captured him by luck. After backing off Zoroark uses Shadow Ball, a powerful big Shadow Ball is shot at the ice wallpletely shattering it into pieces, but Zoroark found nothing behind the wall, he had expected ceon to be behind it using it as a shield to protect itself but it looks like the Ice wall was just a decoy. Zoroark noticed his opponent but it was toote, ceon was already very close to him. Cynthia "Icicle Spear" ceon created multiple long and sharp Ice Spears and shot them at Zoroark at point-nk range, Zoroark used his feet and quickly backed off and used Protect, the Ice Spears tried to pierce through the Protect, the first one failed but it left a mark, the barrage continued from the spears, each spear caused the Protect to weaken little by little, soon the Protect broke but the Spears also ended. Cynthia didn''t waste any time andunched another attack at Zoroark. Cynthia "Ice Beam" ceon sted a powerful Ice Beam which tore through the air, rushing towards Zoroark with pulsing energy, Zoroark also didn''t hold back, it used Dark Pulse to counter, the two attacks collided against each other causing a huge explosion, rocks were sent flying and even a mini avnche came rushing down Mt. Cor, luckily it was not targeted towards them or any vige nearby. Julian also covered himself with ayer of Omniforce to protect himself from flying rocks that are capable of causing serious injuries to humans. The thunderous sound of the attack echoed throughout the mountain for a few seconds before finally calming down, both Zoroark and ceon are covered in snow and dirt, they used a lot of power behind their attacks but both of them canceled each other out. Julian is once again surprised by how strong ceon''s Special Attack really is. The battle continued, both ceon and Zoroark exchanged moves after moves, dodging and counter-attacking each other moves till both of them were really tired. Cynthia is really having a hard time taking down this Zoroark, a wild battle shouldn''t havested this long, but the opponent in front of her is not running away nor backing off, he is determined to stop both Julian and Cynthia in their path. The battle carried on again, ceon shot another Ice Beam at Zoroark, with more destructive power behind it, both Cynthia and ceon knew that they have to finish this quick or they will be at a disadvantage, the Zoroark is stronger, faster and has more stamina. Till now they are able to hold their own against it because of Cynthia''s and ceon''s experience battling and training to this day. Cynthia "ceon, let''s go all out, use Blizzard" This is one of Cynthia''s final moves and she has been forced to use it, seeing the iing attack Zoroark nts its legs on the ground and uses Protect, he cannot afford to use more energy or he will have nothing left to use a counter-attack so Protect is the best option. Zoroark uses Protect and creates a shield in front of him while ceon is charging up its move, the wind started to speed up as Ice around the area has increased significantly, soon the icy wind bes very aggressive just like a snowstorm, ceon uses Blizzard and this Blizzard''s target is Zoroark. The Blizzard blows destroying everything in its path, ice shards shoot at the shield at blinding speed which is further elerated by the fast winds, the Protect couldn''t hold for long before shattering into pieces, Zoroark underestimated ceon''s attack. Zoroark gets hit hard by it, sending it flying in the sky, Cynthia sees her chance and quickly throws a Pokeball at Zoroark. The Pokeball hits Zoroark and captures him inside it. Cynthia "ceon, be on guard! If he gets out, use Last Resort" She gave the order and watched the Pokeball wiggle, it wiggled once, it wiggled twice, it wiggled once more, Cynthia get excited seeing it wiggle three times but her excitement is over as the Pokeball breaks and Zoroarkes out of the Pokeball, he is weak and on his knees but he doesn''t want to give up. But this has to end, ceon uses Last Resort, it charged at Zoroark as white light surrounds its body, Last Resort is a powerful move and it takes a lot out of the user and many don''t even teach their pokemon this move as it can be risky during battle. As Zoroark is currently weak and still going through the effects of the Blizzard he cannot dodge this attack, ceon crashes into Zoroark''s chest with full power and sends him rolling on the cracked path, Cynthia this time takes out a Great Ball and tosses it at the Zoroark. The Great Ball hits and captures Zoroark, it wiggles once, twice, three times, and finally gives a beep sound confirming the capture. Cynthia looks at the Great Ball that is on the ground motionless, she did it, she finally captured Zoroark and she has also improved a lot, she is beyond a Champion level now. She can take on the Elite Four easily, this hard battle was the perfect way for her to make a breakthrough. Chapter 509 - Real Reason Cynthia is surprised by her catch, she is speechless right now, she could tell that she has gotten a lot stronger than before, being able to catch Zoroark means that she has already surpassed herself. She walks towards the Great Ball and picked it up and looks at it with sparkling eyes. ?? It has been years since having caught a pokemon and Zoroark is her first, she turns and looked at Julian trying to confirm if this was true or not. She was really surprised by her performance as well, she was always a step ahead of Zoroark which is the reason why she was able to capture Zoroark. Julian "You did well, with Zoroark by your side you can deal with Cyrus easily" He said and praised her, he is really impressed by his girlfriend, he could see how much she has grown from the first time he saw her. Julian "We should continue going up, we cannot waste any more time around here and maybe our new friend can help us" He said and looked at the Great Ball in her hand, she quickly realized what Julian meant and called out her Zoroark. He is still weak and bruised by from the previous battle, Julian took out some berries and handed it over to Cynthia. Julian "Feed him, he will recover soon after" He said. She nodded and put the berries right in front of Zoroark, he looked at the berries and back at Cynthia, he looked at the person who just caught him after a hard-fought battle, suddenly Zoroark remembered something and grabbed the berries and ate them, he then grabbed onto Cynthia''s arm and tried to drag her on top of the mountain. Seeing this both Julian and Cynthia are surprised. Julian "Let''s follow him, something must be going on up there for him to side with Cyrus" He said. Cynthia decided to listen to him and both of them followed Zoroark to the top, it didn''t take them long before they reached near the entrance of the maze, with Zoroark by their side they didn''t need to hide at all, with his illusion he could hide them from public eyes. Julian looked around and was surprised by the scene in front of him, hundreds of Team Gctic members walking around, they have set up a huge camp here, he couldn''t believe so many made it till here without the league agents noticing, he and Cynthia looked at Zoroark as he was the only one who could bring them here. Julian was right, it was Zoroark, he helped these men by making them invisible to the league agents, Zoroark lowered his head ashamed of his actions, but Julian knew he didn''t do this on purpose, something is bothering him. Julian looked around once again and noticed something, there were also some underworld guards here, they have made up camp separate from the Team Gctic members and didn''t bother with them. Julian "Those are the Underworld Guards, they are essential to my faction, don''t hurt them" He said. Cynthia nodded her head and looked at her Zoroark and told him to continue guiding them, soon Zoroark brought them into the entrance of the maze to show them something. Seeing what it was Julian and Cynthia finally realized why Zoroark is helping Cyrus, right in front of them is a big cage and inside this cage are little Zoruas and another Zoroark, this Zoroark is smaller than Cynthia''s but is a strong one, above an elite level. The cage that they are kept in is fused with electricity, no matter from where one touches the cage, the ones inside the cage will get shocked with high voltage electricity, this is indeed cruel. Julian didn''t think such a scenario will present in front of him, he understood why Zoroark is helping Cyrus and he also has a save the ones inside the cave. Julian "They must be his family" He said. Cynthia looked at the injured pups and the female Zoroark with a sad expression, it hurt her feelings seeing these pokemon in such pain, the mother is using her body to cover the pups from touching the rods of the cage while keeping very little distance from the rods as well, the cage is very small for all of them. An adult Zoroark and three pups couldn''t be ced in such a small space. Cynthia "How could these people be so cruel?" She questioned Julian but he doesn''t have an answer, even he doesn''t know why these people are after world domination or world destruction when they all can live a happy life in this beautiful and magnificent world. This world is not polluted, one can see stars in the sky at night, there are beautiful creatures and pokemons living happily and thriving, this world is also filled with all kinds of entertainment and the people living here are discovering new things every day. Julian came to this world thinking that it was a peaceful world with no wars but he was wrong, no matter where he goes there will be some humans trying to destroy the world that they live in. Seeing this Julian''s wish to create a faction became more important, he will use them to put an end to people like this. Chapter 510 - Saving The Family Cynthia "Can you save them?" She asked. ?? Julian "I can, Gengar take them in without anyone noticing" He ordered Gengar since they are already inside an illusion the Team Gctic members are not able to see them but once Gengar starts to mess with the items in the real world it can cause some problem but it doesn''t matter anyway, once Gengar has them no matter what these Team Gctic grunts do they won''t stand a chance against Julian and Cynthia''s powerbined. Gengar blended into the shadow and went directly under the cage, he then passes through it without any resistance, feeling Gengar''s presence the mother Zoroark suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the monster that just entered the cage. To a pokemon like Zoroark, Gengar looks evil no matter how they see him, dark ck body, crimson red eyes, and big creepy smile, no one would think Gengar as a cute pokemon from their first look. The mother Zoroark growled at Gengar to back off while tightly holding onto her pups. Seeing this situation Julian became alerted, her growl can attract the attention of the grunts until they all are safe Julian doesn''t want to get cocky and risk of them being electrocuted, if this cage can electrocute someone or something than it mush have a remote as well so Julian doesn''t want to take the chance. Seeing this Cynthia''s Zoroark suddenly makes a lite sound alerting the mother Zoroark, she turns around and sees Zoroark with Cynthia and Julian, Zoroark then tells her to stay calm and the Gengar is here to help them. Luckily Zoroark''s growl didn''t alert anyone nearby, Gengar quickly opened a gate to his dimension and sucked the mother Zoroark and her pups inside without any grunts noticing about it, Gengar then got out of the cage and headed back to Julian''s shadow. Julian "We should go outside, this is not the best ce for those pups to be brought out" He said. Cynthia nodded her head and followed Julian outside the entrance and into a corner where there are no grunts around, Gengar resurfaced from Julian''s shadow and opened the gate to his dimensions and brought out the mother Zoroark and her pups. Seeing his family the Zoroark became emotional and approached them, seeing their father the pups got excited, even though they are weak and haven''t eaten for days they still rubbed their cheeks on his legs, they were separated from him for months and where put inside that dangerous cage, even the mother joined the group. Seeing this both Julian and Cynthia smiled. Julian "A family huh?" He said and looked at Cynthia, knowing that Julian is looking at her while thinking about a family she blushed but it was no time for thinking about romance. Now that they have saved the Zoroark family they need to take care of the grunts and capture Cyrus before he does anything crazy. Julian "You should put them all inside a Pokeball for now, it''s dangerous for them to stay outside" He said while feeding the mother Zoroark and her pups for berries which rejuvenated their health. She nodded and took out four pokeballs, one for the mother and three for the pups, they didn''t put any resistance and went in willingly s Zoroark told them to do so. Now that they are safe there is no need for illusions, Zoroark will simply be wasting his energy inside of taking out the grunts in one fell swoop. Julian and Cynthia walked back to the entrance of the maze and this time the Team Gctic grunts saw them, the person who saw them alerted everyone around by giving off a warning signal. Hundreds of grunts gathered in front of them while holding onto their pokeballs, even the Underworld guards joined in but they seem to hesitate a little. Julian looked at them, these guards are more experienced and stronger than the grunts around here, even though their number is below a hundred, it''s a lot for Julian''s faction. Julian "Will you take care of Team Gctic?" He asked her while looking at the guards. Cynthia "Fine by me, I want to build some connection with Zoroark, what do you say Zoroark? wanna destroy them" She asked looking at her new partner. Zoroark nodded his head and looked at the grunts while growling at them while releasing the dark energy inside his body, this energy was much more potent that the time he faced Cynthia, showing that he was holding back a little while battling her which cost him the battle. Since Cynthia is dealing with the grunts, Julian walked towards the guards who are ready to attack him. There are five leaders in this group, they were all different captains of their team sent by the underworld to hunt Cyrus but now they are working for him as his offer is really tempting, anyone would be a fool to pass on that even if it means risking their lives. Chapter 511 - End Of Team Galactic (1) Seeing just one person walking towards them the Guards were surprised but they didn''t doubt his strength, Cyrus had warned them to not look down on anyone and destroy anyone who tried to interfere. Julian looked at these guards, all of them were men, strongly built and some of them had scars around their arms and cheeks stating that they were involved in knife fights meaning that they were experienced closebat fighter, these people are more dangerous than the arrogant Team Gctic grunts. ?? Cynthia also made her way towards the Grunts who were looking at her with a huge grin on their faces, even though they know that Cynthia is the champion of the region they are still looking down on her because of they have the number advantage. Grunt "Oye, look, its that Zoroark, looks like it is siding with the champion, have it forgotten that its family is still inside the electric cage?" One of them said with a disgusting expression, seeing such expression would make anyone want to punch his face. Grunt "Hey you quickly get rid of her or your pups will be torched to death by the electric cage" He continued speaking while taking out a small remote from his pocket, seeing the remote Cynthia realized that it is remote to the cage and this man is threatening Zoroark to attack her by using his family as leverage. Cynthia "How despicable" She humphed angrily and stared daggers at the grunt. This grunt seems to be the one in charge here that is also why he has the remote, seeing that the Zoroark was not listening to him the grunt got angry. Grunt "Oy, what do you think you are doing, attack her and throw her away or face the consequence" He said and faked pressing the button on the remote but he still saw Zoroark making no move on Cynthia, he saw Zoroark releasing a very dangerous aura around him which caused the grunt to shiver in fear, the grunt backed off with a scared expression. Grunt "How dare you, now watch what I do to your family" He said and finally pressed the button, the next moment one could hear the sound of electric surgesing out of the maze entrance with faint white light. But the grunts didn''t hear any scream of paining from inside, the grunt who pressed the button looked behind towards the cave with a scared expression. He thought that the family was dead because it didn''t scream in pain, realizing that they messed up big. If they had fed the mother Zoroark and her pups they would have still been alive to use as bargain chip but they didn''t andughed at the Zoroark seeing its helplessness. One of the grunts rushed into the maze to check out what happened while the rest of them gulped down their saliva to get rid of the dryness in their throat. They took out their Pokeball and called out their pokemons to take on the Zoroark and the Champion, they realized that they were in no position tomand the Zoroark but they still had some confidence that they might hold off against Cynthia and Zoroark due to their sheer numbers. The grunt who went in to check on the cage came out running and tripped down on a stone,nding face-first on the rough ground. "The Zoroark and the pups are not there in their cage" He shouted warning the others. Hearing this all the grunts got surprised by this, just a few minutes ago one of them saw the Zoroark''s inside the cage, now one of them ims that they are not there, they couldn''t figure out how was that even possible. Without the admins present no one could have opened the cage for the Zoroark and her pups to get out of there. Grunt "Did one of the admins took them?" The main grunt asked but he received a no for an answer, well that doesn''t matter anyway, they need to take care of the current threat. All of them sent out their pokemon, all of these pokemons are very weakpared to Zoroark but they have the advantage in numbers, over a hundred is still a lot of an attacker like Zoroark, unlike Snox or Tyranitar, Zoroark cannot take direct hits from these pokemons. Cynthia "ceon, you are up" She called out her ceon to even up the field, ceon will not act as a tank but as a supporter. Grunt "Just two won''t do, bring out all of your pokemons, do you really think you can take us all with just two, hahahaha,ughable" The leader of this group said and started tough, there was still fear in his voice but with hundreds of Team Gctic members backing him off, he had nothing to fear right now. Cynthia "You overestimate yourself" She said and looked towards Julian to see what is happening at his side, it was awfully quiet on that side so she wondered what happened, when she looked at Julian''s side she saw he was already done with them, all of the guards were in deep sleep along with their pokemons. She sighed and decided to get over with this as well. Cynthia "Zoroark, ceon, let get over with this quick" She said and began her attacks. Chapter 512 - End Of Team Galactic (2) Cynthia began her attack with ceon. Cynthia "ceon, use Icy Wind" ? ? ceon blew a cold and powerful Icy Wind causing all the pokemons on the opposite side to quiver in sheer cold, due to the current height they are in the effect was much more potent than normal. Some of them even started to freeze on the stop, notpletely but there was ice forming on the edge of their hairs and eyebrows. Feeling the cold many pokemons lost their will to fight especially the fire type pokemons, they didn''t like this cold at all, the temperature around here affected their fire and they were not able to burn brightly to counter the Ice Wind that is being thrown at them. While the pokemons who are already weak to Ice Type moves as suffering as well as receiving the most damage out of the rest, some of them even froze without moving an inch. The surroundings really helped Cynthia deal a fatal blow to her opponents, seeing most of their team have been rendered useless by just one attack the remaining members started to attack recklessly, their attacks went everywhere, beams of attack targeted towards Cynthia. Cynthia "Both of you, use Protect" ceon stepped in front of Zoroark and used Protect, Zoroark also used Protect over the Protect that ceon has created, the attacksnded on the first Protect for a while before finally destroying it but the second Protect is still present, the attacks finally stopped. They failed to hit anyone of Cynthia''s pokemon, the Team Gctic members finally realized that they were no match for Cynthia. The leader of the group especially feared for his life, he was on the edge when he got the promotion but now he didn''t want to be a leader. Cynthia "ceon, use Blizzard" ceon used Blizzard and froze them all on the spot, some were still trying to move and free their legs. Cynthia "Zoroark, finish this, Dark Pulse to all of them" Zoroark charged up for one big Dark Pulse and sted it at the frozen Team Gctic members, the ice shattered and along with it, the dreams of Team Gctic members ruling the world. They all were knocked out cold. ____________________ Five minutes before on Julian''s side. He looked at the Guards in front of him and though how useful they can be for his faction. Captain 1 "Let''s take him down, don''t look down on him, destroy him before he can do anything" One of the Captain gave themand to attack Julian. Julian [Gengar] As soon as Gengar heard his name, he made his move, before the Guards could even lift their arms up they were all put to sleep by mass hypnosis. Julian "They are all useful members of the faction in the future, putting them to sleep is the best option" He murmured and looked around to find anything out of the ordinary but he found nothing after looking around for a while. Julian ''Looks like they were really fighting for Cyrus for their freedom'' He thought and sighed in relief. He still had some doubts as to why would these people help Cyrus, even though the previous captain told him that he did it for his and his family''s freedom, the same couldn''t be said for the others. After confirming his suspicion, he asked Gengar to tie them all up so they cannot escape before the league agentse and take them away. After he was done with this, he heard a loud explosion behind him, he turned around and noticed Cynthia destroying all of the Team Gctic members in one go, he smiled awkwardly as he saw how ruthless she can be sometimes. Even he wouldn''t freeze someone then destroy them, he could tell most of these men and women will have multiple fractures in their body after that, the pokemons will survive as they have better physic and regeneration. Julian "Looks like we are done here, we should go forward" He said while walking towards her. Cynthia "Yes, we should, we cannot waste much time here" She nodded and both of them rushed towards the maze, Julian called out Infernape to light up the path, even with enhanced vision no one can see in the dark unless some light is present and inside this maze-like cave there is none. Julian was here before so could could easily navigate through the maze and if he ends up somewhere else he will rify it with the System before taking any route. Both of them finally were able to reach the end of the maze but suddenly they got stopped by four people. One is a middle-aged man with a whiteb coat, One is a young man with blue hair, the other two are women with red and purple hair respectively. The young ones are the admins of Team Gctic and the middle-aged man is the lead scientist of Team Gctic. Cynthia "I wondered where these guys were hiding, so they all were here all along" She said while tightly clenching her fist in frustration, she could have caught them before but she dragged it for such a long time and because of this, the future of Sinnoh is in danger. Mars "It''s it the great champion, wee but this is goodbye as well, you cannot go any further from here" The woman in red hair said. She is one of the admins of Team Gctic. Jupiter "Who is that handsome man beside her, is he her boyfriend, hey why don''t you join us, we can have some fun" The tall woman in purple hair said looking at Julian and chuckled, hearing her Cynthia got furious, Jupiter is dead for sure and Julian is already pitying her. Chapter 513 - End Of Team Galactic (3) The four Team Gctic members are the strongest in the whole organization so Julian didn''t look down on them, they might be the perfect people to be used as stepping stones for his current team. Cynthia is also really pissed of right now looking at Jupiter and she wants to pummel her face till it gets bruised badly. ?? Julian maintain his distance from the cat-fight and looks at the man with blue hair, he has seen this young man before, he is Saturn the leader of the Admins and probably the strongest of the group, he also keeping an eye on that scientist as Julian could tell that he is a sly fox. Julian "So you are going to block my path as well?" Julian asks him. Saturn "No can do, no one is allowed to take a step further from here not even us" He said and brings out his Pokeball. Julian "Do you even know what your boss is up to?" He asks as Julian knows none of these idiots have any idea what their boss is doing, even they will die if anything bad happens. Saturn "I don''t care, I was ordered to take anyone down who dares to interfere and I will do so and you will be my first victim" He said and tossed his Pokeball up in the air, a big Toxicroak then came out of it hissing at Julian while rubbing its two sharp poisonous des against each other trying to scare Julian off, Toxicroak is indeed a very intimidating pokemon but Julian has seen much worse. Julian also takes out a Pokeball and tosses it up in the air as he sent out Lucario, Lucarionds on the ground and takes a fighting position, ready to battle. Seeing that the opponent is using sharp poisonous des she creates two gauntlets around her arms with pointy short needles in front of the knuckles and at the back of the wrist. Julian "A fight it is then" He said and smirk. Julian "Use Power Up punch" With Julian''s instruction, Lucario charges at Toxicroak using Power-Up Punch but Saturn has aeback. Saturn "Use Sucker Punch" As Lucario gets right next to Toxicroak and as she was about tond the Power-Up Punch she received a hard uppercut right on her jaw by Toxicroak, Sucker Punch would alwaysnd first no matter how fast the opponent is with their move but Lucario stands her ground. Julian "Shift to Payback" Lucario then suddenly changes her attack to Payback andnds a sharp hook on Toxicroak''s stomach with that pointy aura gauntlet which is surrounded by dark energy, Payback is a really effective move, it doubles in damage if the pokemon using it was hit first. Toxicroak groans in pain and is sent staggering backward while holding its stomach, Lucario rubs her jaw trying to ease off the pain a little, even though it was not very effective as she is a Fighting-type it still pains being hit by a powerful attack at close range right on the jaw. Julian "Power-Up Punch" Lucario rush towards Toxicroak again, this time faster than before, knowing that he cannot take another risk of getting hit by those Paybacks, Saturn decided not to use Sucker Punch. Saturn "Dodge" As Lucario was about to hit her uppercut on Toxicroak, it dodged the punch by backing its head but it didn''t matter to Lucario if the first one misses, she was trained tond every move sessfully, she suddenly used her legs and kicked Toxicroak right on its knee causing it toe crashing down face first towards the ground and during this moment Lucarionded her Power-Up punch, a powerful uppercut right on Toxicroak''s face and the aura gauntlet boosted the attack power behind the uppercut. Toxicroak was sent flying as it crashed onto the ceiling and fell back on the ground hard, these moves are not just for show, Lucario has trained so that each move shends would be lethal and effective, after training with Infernape and with his guidance she has been growing steadily making her third strongest in Julian''s team, first being Crystal and Garchomp, Crystal''s yful ways always costed it and faced loses against Garchomp, second was also a tie between Manaphy and Victini, sometime Manaphy would take the lead and sometimes it would be Victini, third ce is Lucario. She doesn''t have the best abilities or quirkspared to Julian''s other pokemon but she trains a lot harder than them because she doesn''t want to let her teacher Infernape down. Toxicroak is no match for Lucario and this battle is getting closer to its end. Saturn "Not so fast, Toxicroak, get up use Brick Break" Toxicroak got back to its feet and charged towards Lucario using Brick Break, as Lucario is weak to fighting type moves this can be a very effective attack if the attacknds but Julian is not gonna let that happen. Julian "Use Drain Punch" Lucario stood on her spot, nting her legs tightly on the ground and focusing all her energy into her right hand, the aura gauntlet started to glow with fighting aura, as Toxicroak got closer, Lucario released a straight right hand with extreme speed and power behind it, the two attacks shed and caused a thunderous sound and both pokemons were sent flying backward. Toxicroak went rolling on the ground and crashed against a wall while Lucario did a backflip and got back to her feet, she didn''t seem injured at all because of the move she used, Drain Punch is a very effective move while dealing a lot of damage to the opponent it can also restore her health. It was as if Lucario didn''t take any damage at all. Julian "Finish this, Aura Sphere" Lucario extended her hands to the side and created two pulsing balls of energy, they were Aura Spheres, she then shot them at the Toxicroak at high speed, the first Aura Spherended on the Toxicroak and sent it flying towards Saturn. Toxicroak crashed into Saturn causing him to lose bnce but it was not over, the second Aura Sphere once againnded on Toxicroak and this time it sent both Saturn and Toxicroak outside the exit of the cave, to the other side. Saturn and Toxicroak couldn''t even put up a fight, it was all over within a few minutes. Julian "Cynthia can you deal with them?" He turned around and asked her. Cynthia "It''s fine you go ahead, I will deal with these bi..... people" She said and red at Jupiter and Mars ready to destroy them. Chapter 525 - Dream Of Disaster Julian found himself lying on the ground as he looked at the red sky above him, the surroundings felt very hot to him, he saw smoke and ashes rising up in the sky, he could hear people and pokemon''s screams. He then heard a thunderous roar that felt very familiar to him but at the same time it seemed different in some way, this roar had absolute authority in it just like the roar of the physical consciousness of Dialga and Palkia that he experienced during his battle with them. ?? The voice that traveled through space and time while bringing fear to everyone that heard it. Julian sat down straight and looked at his surroundings, he saw destroyed buildings, huge skyscrapers fallen on the ground, shops destroyed, cars and other vehicles crushed, everything was on fire, the ground below him waspletely shattered. Seeing this kind of destruction even Julian felt afraid, not for himself but for the people that used to live here. Julian ''This is a dream, I have to stay calm'' He thought and closed his eyes in his dream and calmed his mind when he suddenly heard the thunderous roar again, this time even louder than before, he suddenly turned around and saw a dot far away in the sky, the dot started to grow in size as it got closer to him. Julian frowned and narrowed his eyes to see further, his supervision came into effect and finally saw the culprit, he saw a pokemon, its body was long like a snake, about 12 meters long, it had silver armor around its head and neck, there were long sharp spikes on the side of its body, it had long six tentacle-like wings with pointy endsing from its back, it was yellow in color with blue and ck ents around its body and wings. Julian''s eyes shrunk as he saw this pokemon. Julian ''Giratina'' Only one thought came in his mind, a shiny Giratina and this one seem even bigger than the Dialga and Palkia he encountered before, even though this is a dream this Giratina gave off a very powerful and corrupted aura. He felt like this aura would destroy anything that it came in touch with, he also felt that this aura was simr to the mutated Hydreigon but way worse. The Giratina rushed towards him at full speed, opening its jaws and trying to engulf Julian but suddenly his vision changed again and he was back in front of the threekes and in front of him were the threeke guardians, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. Seeing them Julian understood what the real danger is. Julian "Thank you, leave it to me, no matter what happens, I won''t allow it to destroy this world" He said and assured them of his victory. Even though he doubted himself in taking on this monster, from the vision itself he could tell that this Giratina ispletely different from anything he has ever faced, this one is a rouge and more dangerous. The threeke guardians then suddenly disappeared and Julian woke up from his dream and looked around and sighed, he is still on the bed with Cynthia sleeping peacefully next to him, he looked outside and saw that the sky is still dark, he looked at the clock and saw that it is 4 am. Julian ''I am all rested, it''s no time to waste'' He thought and got up from his bed and quickly got dressed, he looked at Cynthia and saw her sleeping peacefully, he didn''t want to wake her up but this is not the time to be sleeping. Julian "Cynthia, wake up" He woke her up gently. She yawned and rubbed her eyes while looking at Julian in confusion, she is very tired and is not fully awake. Cynthia "What happened?" Julian "We have to move, the threat to Sinnoh is bigger than I thought" He said. Hearing this Cynthia came to her senses and quickly woke up. Cynthia "What do you mean?" She asked worriedly. Julian "I had a dream in which the three Lake Guardians came and warned me about the future danger, we should move right now" He said. Even though hearing it didn''t make any sense to Cynthia she decided to go with Julian, she also quickly got ready and decided to leave. Cynthia "What do you want me to do?" She asked. Julian "Evacuate everyone that lives around and near Mt. Cor, it is better to evacuate the neighboring cities and towns around there" He said. Cynthia "Suchrge scale evacuation will be hard" She said. Julian "That is why you need to take care of it, with you it is possible and asks the Elite Four for help as well along with the gym leaders, the more people helping the better" He said. Cynthia "What should we tell the people, suchrge scale evacuation, they will want to hear the reason for it" Julian "Tell them the truth, Sinnoh is in danger, the masses will panic but we have no other options, as well, whatever we tell them they will panic so that is why they need you to be there and calm them, with strong people around them, they won''t be worried" He said and ced his hand on her shoulder. Cynthia "I understand, but what about you?" She asked. Julian "I will have to take on the threat head-on" He said seriously. Cynthia "But...." Julian "I am not an idiot to sacrifice myself for no reason, its time for my old team to make an appearance again" He said and smiled. Cynthia thought about it and nodded her head, Julian''s old team, the strongest force. Julian "Good, now go and inform the League and take action quickly, we don''t know when the threat will arrive, we have to start now" He said. Cynthia agreed and went away on her Garchomp towards the League headquarters. Julian also made his way towards the nearest poke center. Chapter 526 - Reunion Julian headed directly to the nearest Pokemon center, pokemon centers are open 24 hours a day so he had no problem finding one, as he walked in he saw the center was quite empty, there was one young man sleeping on the bench waiting for his injured pokemon to be fully healed. Julian didn''t see Nurse Joy around so he didn''t bother looking around, he directly headed towards the pokemon transferring machine and called Professor Oak through it. ?? He had to wait for a while before Professor Oak finally picked up the call, Julian saw Professor Oak still in his pink pajamas yawning in front of the screen with his mouth wide open. Oak "Ju....lian, why are youuu calling at this time of the day?" He asked while still drowsy. Julian "Something came up, I need all of my Kanto Team" He said. Hearing his Oak snapped out of his drowsiness and looked seriously at Julian. Oak "Is this so serious?" To that Julian simply nodded his head. Oak "Ok, wait for a few minutes, I have to go and call them" He said and walked away from the screen, it nearly took him ten minutes to get back but he got all of Julian''s Kanto pokemon in their pokeballs and sent them to Julian one after the other. Gyarados, Venusaur, Heatran, Electivire, Pidgeot, Kabutops. These six of them are back with Julian ready to destroy anything that stands in their path. Julian "Thank you, Professor Oak, you can go and rest now, I won''t bother you anymore" Oak "Just don''t destroy everything around you, things are expensive to repair back to their original state" He said and walked away yawning. Julian sighed and looked at the six Pokeball in his hand, these six were his first-ever team, his strongest and most trusted and he has to rely on them again to take down the monster that he and his team is about to face. Gengar who is in his shadow also got excited to meet his old friends, Crystal also woke up and popped its head out and looked at the pokeballs in Julian''s hand, it floated out and sniffed at the pokeballs and found two familiar scents on them, Electivire''s and Pidgeot''s, even though Crystal has seen Julian''s other pokemon it had no idea of how strong they are, it was just a little innocent baby seeing the outside world for the first time. Crystal looked at Julian with its big eyes for answers. Julian "They all are your big brothers, so get along with them" He said and rubbed Crystal''s little head with his finger, Julian then walked out of the pokemon center and headed directly towards Mt. Cor as it is the ce where everything will start and it might be the ce where everything will end as well. He made Garchompnd near a river, this river was formed from the molten snow flowing down from Mt. Cor, after putting up a camp he called out his Kanto pokemons. When they came out all of them released a very powerful aura which scared Crystal as it tucked down its head inside Julian''s pocket, seeing Julian all of them rushed towards him and jumped up on it, under a second he was under his huge pokemons. If he had a normal body he would have been crushed t by them, he struggled out of the group and looked at all of them and smiled, he could tell all of them have grown a lot stronger than thest time he saw them. He looked at Gyarados and realized that he grew even bigger, now he is 16 meters tall, even the Giratina in his dream would look small in front of him. Julian "You all have grown up a lot, now all of you can take care of yourself even if you leave to live in the wild" He said. Crystal once again came out and stared at the group of pokemon standing in front of Julian, Crystal stared at them curiously as it saw Pidgeot and Electivire in the group, it came out of Julian''s pocket and floated towards them, Crystal looked at everyone and became happy, they all gave off a very kind aura towards it and Crystal loved it. The most Crystal is interested is Gyarados due to his size, Crystal is so small that Gyarados''s pupil is bigger than it, Crystal flew on the top and saw down on top of Gyarados, Gyarados didn''t mind the little one and slithered into the river and dove its head down. Gengar also came out of Julian''s shadow and greeted his buddies, his best friend Electivire, now they are back together they are going to make a lot of trouble, he also greeted the others byughing at their face, it was as if he is insulting them and making fun of them, Julian never understood Gengar''s humor, he just knows that Gengar enjoys when someone else is suffering. He pissed of Venusaur do so and got pped twice on his butt by Venusaur''s vines, Venusaur is the gentle giant of the group so its rare for him to get mad. Julian looked at Venusaur and noticed that Venusaur''s flower has changed colors, it''s much brighter and bigger now. He then walked towards Heatran and patted his head, Heatran was the pokemon he kept secret from the world before because he didn''t have enough power to protect him but now it''s different now, no one would dare to touch Heatran now and he doesn''t even need Julian''s protection now. He is strong enough to take on anyone. He then moved towards Kabutops the youngest of the group but he also caught up to the others very fast as well. Julian then called out Infernape and Snox as well, seeing Infernape Venusaur and Heatran got excited, they were the best of friends and Snox, he doesn''t care, nothing is more important to him than his food and sleep. He is currently sleeping and won''t wake up until Julian gives him some food to eat. He let his old team settle down before he introduces his new team to them, Pidgeot and Electivire have already seen them but the other four haven''t. Once their excitement was down from meeting their friends again he called out his Sinnoh team. Garchomp, Manaphy, Rampardos, Victini, Togekiss, Lucario and Gliscor are the ones who have never seen Julian''s ace team and now they finally get the chance. Chapter 516 - Another Owned Favor Julian suspected one of the legendary trio to be behind this but he is not sure, they are unpredictable, just like his experience with Dialga and Palkia before he realized that things won''t be easy and to take them down is nearly impossible, even Infernape in his Omniform couldn''t take down that physical manifestation of Dialga so he wasn''t confident in battling another one. This time there will be no Space-Time tower that will y the Oracion and calm it down. ?? He just hopes that its some pokemon from another dimension that he can take on. The current situation is not clear yet, he still doesn''t know which world is beyond that crack, the only thing he can do right now is to pray that things will go fine with no trouble, once the Unowns are able to mend the space it should be all fine. Julian ''Unowns, they are the key, I need to learn more about them'' He though and just waited outside the maze entrance until the League Agentse and arrest all these people. Cyrus is still the same, crouched up and has cut away from himself from the rest of the world. Whenever Julian looks at Cyrus a frown crept upon his face. Julian ''What did he see for him to be in such a state, he was after the legendary trio for years, now he has turned up like this, what could have it been to turn even a psychopath like Cyrus into a mentally unstable man?'' Right now Julian only has questions, things are not going his way right now, he a single person cannot do anything and the mystery behind the Spear Pir is very confusing. They have been specified in many ancient scriptures and books but never has anyone specified how it works. There could be more to this and Julian knows it, he knows the danger that cane to this world if something bad happens, he needs to find the Unowns and figure out them, and also figure out what would prevent them from doing anything. They are literally Gods when theye together, they can create anything they want with their power, some scriptures say that they don''t die as well, their only goal is to keep the bnce of space and time, if anything unnatural happens in space and time they are there to fix it. After some time the League Agents came in their special vehicles to arrest all the members of the Team Gctic and also the Underworld Guards, the two of them were separated into two. The Guards would be confided into a special location before the league decides whether they should hand them over to Julian or not. It didn''t take long before the area was empty again, Julian and Cynthia are standing there looking at the setting sun, the sun is about to disappear into the horizon and they need to get out of here, at night this ce would be below freezing temperatures and they don''t want to catch a cold. They also leave Mt. Cor and return back to the small vige there were staying before. When they got back to the vige the children returned to y with the Garchomps but their parents took them away soon after as it was already night time. Julian and Cynthia returned to their room and decided to call it a day, Cynthia is also busy bonding with her Zoroark and his family, since she cannot take care of the whole family she decided to hire a professional pokemon keeper to take care of the mother Zoroark and her pups while Zoroark stays with her. In the wild the male Zoroark won''t stay with the family for a long time, it will defend the family until the pups are strong enough to take care of themselves, once they are strong enough the male Zoroark leaves while the female takes care of the pups. Now that his family will be the same in the city under a professional pokemon keeper Zoroark had nothing to worry about and could join Cynthia in her ventures. Julian and Cynthia also talked about today''s event and informed the main executives of the league about the potential danger of the future. Julian asked the league about his request but the league didn''t give him a proper answer, well he could create a faction on his own but the members of this faction won''t be able to roam freely in the city without being watched or attacked by agents who have no idea about their existence. Julian''s faction needs to be something special, where they won''t be stopped by local police to investigate anything that is abnormal. The League permission would be a great help and his faction can continue doing their work without any interruption. Seeing that the league were still taking their sweet time Julian sighed, he knew what those old man were up to, they would want to borrow a favor from him, having him by their side mighte very useful to them, he already owns them one and they haven''t used it yet, and the matter about saving the world he did that on his own ord so that doesn''t count. Since they were taking their long time Julian told them that he would give them another favor, as soon as he told them this they agreed to his request. Both Julian and Cynthia were surprised by how fast they agreed to his request as soon as they received favor from Julian, Julian has no idea for what they are going to use him but it doesn''t matter unless it is to kill someone, he will reject them. Chapter 517 - Fixing The Crack? Even though the league has agreed to the creation of the faction they will need some time to process everything, it will take months before the public knows about it, until then Julian has toe up with a name for the faction and convince the guards about joining the faction. Soon both Julian and Cynthia slept as they were tired from today''s event, well Julian was not physically tired but he was mentally, too much thinking is bad even for him. ?? They slept in each other''s arms without the worry of the world. ___________________ Back on top of Mt. Cor, above the Spear Pir, in the sky where the crack is at, something nced over the crack at extreme speed, causing the crack to expand a little. This pokemon once again came towards the crack and looked through it with one of its giant eyes, the pupil of the eye is light blue in color and the rest of the eye is very ck, after taking a peak the pokemon went away without bothering about anything. Julian has no idea that what he suspects mighte true. The day ended quietly with no problem, but tonight is too silent, the insects and night pokemons weren''t making any sound, it was as if they knew that something big is going to happen. Tonight Sinnoh sounds like an abandoned vige, while humans are asleep, pokemons are hiding in their homes. The moonlight is being reflected by the water bodies as well. During this time the threekes, Lake Acuity, Lake Verity, and Lake Valor started to glow under the moonlight, suddenly the threeke guardians rushed out of theke and started to sing looking at the moon, no one could hear them sing but something was definitely going on, as they sang their hearts out, something started to change, it was as if thekes were giving off some kind of energy, this energy ising directly from the orbs that are hidden inside thekes. The energying off from the threekes started to go towards Mt. Cor, its target is the Spear Pir, the energy prated through the thick fog and entered the alter where the Spear Pir is located, the energy then started to head towards the tear in the sky, as soon as the energy got near the cracks few Unowns appeared and tried to feast on it, these Unowns looked around as if they are trying to check if someone is around or not, after confirming that no one is around they started to absorb this energy. As they did the crack in the sky seems to be getting smaller, it was as if these Unowns were mending the space, but all of them suddenly stopped and looked into the crack, a loud terrifying roar came from the other end scaring of the Unowns, they made a run for their lives and disappeared from there, suddenly a ck shadow passed across the crack which caused to it expand even wider. Back at thekes sensing something was not right the Lake Guardians stopped singing and went into hiding, canceling of the energy flow, the energy returned back to thekes and the night returned to normal. ______________________ Next day Julian woke up and found Cynthia in his arms, he smiled and pushed her gently to the side and got up from the bed, he had no idea what happenedst night as he was in deep sleep, even his pokemons didn''t notice it, Gengar was in his own dimension training and Cyrstal won''t wake up at night no matter who tries to wake it up. He got ready to leave and started to pack, he needs to get back to Sunyshore city along with Cynthia as it is where they sent Cyrus to, he has suffered some kind of mental trauma causing him to go mad, he needs to figure out what really happened, Cyrus was the key as he is the only one who saw what happened that day. While he was getting ready the Vige Chief and his granddaughter came and knocked at the door and brought breakfast with them, he thanked them and sent them away, after waking up Cynthia he fed her and told her to get ready as they are about to leave, it didn''t take them long before getting ready and head back to Sunyshore city on their Garchomp after saying their farewell to the Vige Chief and his granddaughter, and about the matter of the misunderstanding between Julian and the Vige Chief, neither of them talked about it as they didn''t want to embarrass each other, they both just nodded at each other saying as if they understood what was going on and decided to not talk about it ever in their life. It didn''t take long before Cynthia and Julian arrived at Sunyshore city within a few hours as the speed of their Garchomp''s have gotten a lot faster, Julian''s Garchomp still has a lot ahead of him before he can take on Cynthia''s Garchomp but he is not that far behind. He is there, he just needs s push before he reaches the same level as Cynthia''s Garchomp, not in pure Physical power but when ites tobat he will be far superior, at the end of the day, its not always physical strength that will help in a battle. Julian and Cynthiand on top of a building, this building is where Cynthia actually stays, this is where shees when she doesn''t want to get bothered by others. Only a few people know about this location, now they are in Sunyshore city, their main goal is to go to the mental hospital where Cyrus is currently kept. Chapter 529 - Motivated To Become Stronger Gyarados started to collect a massive amount of energy from his body and channel it into his Hyper Beam, his senses were on alert as he looked at the top of Mt. Cor that is kilometers away from him but the distance doesn''t matter at all. At his level, his attacks can travel so fast that distance of kilometers can be crossed within seconds by them. ?? The build-up from the energy from the Hyper Beam started to cause the surrounding air to vibrate an extreme speed, his attack is ready and now he just needs the target to appear. Julian''s Sinnoh team was shocked just by the buildup of this power, the pressure they are feeling is tremendous right now. Gyarados is focused on the clouds as he senses the changes in the environment, he could feel the constant release of energy hitting another energy from there, he could tell that his target is about toe out. And as he expected it didn''t take long, Gyarados felt it, the shattering of powerful energy and a being rushing out of the clouds. Julian ''It has broken through'' He thought and looked at Gyarados as he shot the Hyper Beam. As soon as Gyarados shot the Hyper Beam, it tore through everything, air molecules were disintegrated by them, the sound barrier shattered, the shock wave from the Hyper Beam split the flowing river into two revealing the ground beneath. The ground that was underneath the path of the Hyper Beam also split open just from the sheer power behind it. Seeing this carnage, Julian''s Sinnoh team got scared out of their wits, this is their first time seeing such destruction of this scale, to split open a deep rapid flowing river that ising from the mountain should not be possible but Gyarados did it, his attack even split the ground underneath it. Garchomp clenched his teeth tightly as he finally saw the power of his senior, after his humiliating defeat from the hands of Tyranitar he trained harder than anyone in Julian''s team making him the strongest among them. He also became very proud as he started to exchange more blows with Tyranitar during training, he was growing very fast and at a rapid speed but now he realized what it really is to be powerful, his dream now is to be as strong as Julian''s Kanto pokemons, at first he thought that the distance between Tyranitar is Infernape is not too big as he has never seen Infernape, Gengar or the Sleeping Snox disy any of powers. Realizing that Infernape is the leader of the whole team, he turned and looked at Infernape who is just ncing at the clouds as if it was not a big deal at all, just like him even Lucario was looking at Infernape as she had the same thought as Gengar, well all of Julian''s pokemon looked at their seniors realizing that each of them equally as powerful as Gyarados. They all were more motivated in bing strong, well except Crystal, it just looked at the Hyper Beam and thought it was shy and fun. Julian knows that the Hyper Beam had no effect on Giratina, it was a test to see how much damage can his pokemons do without going into Mega Evolution. Julian ''Not much damage but enough to push it back, this is enough for me, I need to take it to the ocean or near a shore, fighting in the middle of Sinnoh is not a good idea'' He thought and got ready. Soon he heard the roaring from the top of Mt. Cor and this time the roar shook everything, it was as if the whole Sinnoh experienced a mini earthquake. Julian got serious as he saw the solitude of Giratina entering his sight. Julian "Garchomp and group, behind Tyranitar and Absol, Crystale back" He sent Garchomp and the rest behind Tyranitar where they will be safe as his defense is obsolete and he called back Crystal who is still sitting on top of Gyarados''s head thinking this is fun. After Crystal awoke from its slumber it has be more bold and stronger but not strong enough to get in between the fight of two titans, Crystal returned to Julian and went into his front pocket and snuggled itself inside and gotfortable. Seeing this Julian sighed, he didn''t know how Crystal could be so careless in a situation like this, Gengar had really rubbed off on it with his pranks and boldness. Ignoring Crystal he looked at the pokemon he is facing, a shiny Giratina, just like in his dream, the yellow, ck and blue Giratina which looks way bigger than the Dialga and Palkia he fought. Julian ''System what can you tell about that Giratina?'' System ''The Physical Consciousness of the Giratina in front of the host is a corrupted Consciousness'' Julian ''Corrupted?'' System ''Yes, when a consciousness rebels against its main body they be corrupted and go out of control and will be symbols of destruction'' Julian ''Are corrupted consciousness stronger than normal?'' System ''No'' Julian ''Then why is that thing so much stronger than the Dialga and Palkia?'' He asked. System ''Must have fed on or absorbed something very chaotic and destructive in nature'' It said. Julian ''Wait, Cyrus said the monster took away the liquid that was inside that capsule, is it possible that?'' System ''The possibility of it is 98%'' Julian ''Shit, so it''s after another of those serums I guess, I have one but it would be stupid to give it to a corrupted Giratina''s consciousness'' He thought as he saw his target getting closer to him. Chapter 530 - Infernape Steps In Julian "Gyarados one more time" As he saw the monstrous Giratina approaching him he made the call, Gyarados charged up and shot another powerful Hyper Beam at Giratina but this time Giratina had a counter, it shot its own Hyper Beam, as the two Hyper Beam shed, Gyarados''s Hyper Beam got overpowered and pushed back by Giratina''s, ?? Giratina''s Hyper Beam pierced through its opponents and headed directly towards Gyarados. Julian "Gyarados move to the side" As the Hyper Beam was about to hit Gyarados he moved his head and the Hyper Beamnded on the ground andpletely destroyed the surrounding, the whole ground got caved in by it and this was a weakened Hyper Beam as it lost most of its energy countering Gyarados''s Hyper Beam. Julian "As expected, this Giratina is too strong" He thought and looked at Snox who has his eyes opened but is sleeping, Julian told Snox not to sleep right now so Snox tried very hard not to. Even though his eyes are wide open he fell asleep. Julian sighed decided to use Sleep Talk for now. Julian [Sleep Talk] Snox suddenly got on his feet while he is still snoring with his eyes open. Julian''s Sinnoh team were surprised by this sudden movement as they looked at Snox in surprise, they had never seen this giant move so fast, every time they saw Snox move was when he was given food or when he is changing position during his sleep. Even the loudest sound couldn''t wake him up. Julian [Show Giratina what a true Hyper Beam looks like] Snox opened his mouth with a low hum sound, he started to channel energy in front of his mouth, as the energy started to increase by every second, the surrounding itself started to change, the energy caused the air to vibrate and the temperature started to rise rapidly. The ground underneath Snox feet shook and cracked as the energy being channeled in his body caused the ground to shatter forming a web pattern. Snox sted the Hyper Beam at Giratina, this Hyper Beam is way stronger than Gyarados, Gyarados''s Hyper Beam is nothingpared to this, feeling the pressure from the Hyper Beam being released, Julian''s Sinnoh pokemon went on their knees as they felt the immense power behind it. Their mind was once again blown by this, they though Gyarados was a monster but the real monster is the gentle sleeping giant that has been with them from the very beginning. This Hyper Beam was so powerful that even space started to quake from the pressure, sensing the dangering towards it the Giratina countered with its own Hyper Beam once again. This time the result is different from before, as the two Hyper Beam collided it created a thunderous explosion, the shock wave from the collision traveled kilometers away from the impact site, the sound of the collision could be heard all over the neighboring cities and viges that are near the impact site. The light from the explosion blinded everyone, as the light finally faded away, the result was clear, it was a draw. Julian didn''t say anything and just stared at Giratina, he is not worried right now because this is not Snox''s full power, he is not a special attack but a physical one, even though Hyper Beam is powerful it''s not his strongest move. The Giratina just got mad as it saw its attack was not effective this time, it roared which was heard by every living being in Sinnoh as it started to cover its body with ghostly aura. The aura caused the surroundings around Mt. Cor to change, the sky became darker as chaos spread everywhere, the trees and nts around the area suddenly started to wither as they lost their source of life, seeing this Julian frowned, he knew that he cannot allow Giratina to get near any area that is filled with people, just the aura that Giratina is emitting will kill them slowly, the pokemons will survive as they are powerful but not humans, they are totally helpless against such power. Giratina shut its mandibles and straightened its body and spread its six pointy wings as the ghostly energy around its body became more thick and powerful. Julian knew it was going for a serious move right now. Julian "Infernape, get ready" He knew that he needs to send out his most powerful pokemon for this fight, Infernape has never stopped growing as well, since hisst battle with Dialga, Infernape is a lot stronger now, Infernape channeled his power into his fist as he activated his ability, Iron Fist. His focus increased as nothing could distract him, his right fist started to glow a lot brighter blinding everyone as it zed up with blue mes, the fist didn''t release any powerful aura or oppressive energy but one could tell that anything this fist touches would be obliterated. Infernape put the remaining energy in his legs, the ground underneath his leg started to crack as Infernape built up more power, the crack started to spread rapidly as the ground started to cave in. The ground then started to split open around Infernape, the mes on his head started to dance wild as the surrounding became immensely hot. This is an Infernape only his teammates have seen, the one who is the most dangerous when he gets serious and right now he is serious, his previous battle with Dialga hurt his pride a lot even though he didn''t show it to anyone. Infernape hates losing and draw is never an option, the draw with Dialga really pushed him to train harder than ever. The aura that Infernape is releasing right now is majestic, like a me emperor ready to burn everything in his path. Seeing him like this Julian''s Sinnoh team were in awe as they felt chilling sensation all over their body, such show of strength without releasing even a single bit of the energy inside him was something only he could do. Lucario his biggest fan had her eyes open wide as she saw her teacher''s serious form, the gentle yet strict teacher of hers had never once been serious about anything in his life but right now he is emitting this majestic aura that could cause anyone to be in awe of him. This time Infernape is aiming for a win, the option of loosing or a draw doesn''t exist in his mind, even if this Giratina is the strongest opponent he has ever faced he will take it down with his fist. Julian could tell what Infernape is thinking, even though he knows that this is a bad idea he won''t stop Infernape, Infernape has always risen over everything and done everything to win. Drawing against Dialga was like a loss to him so he is not backing up this time now. Chapter 531 - The Battle Begins Giratina charges at Julian''s group as it uses Shadow Force, its signature move, as soon as Giratina makes its move, Infernape starts to run, he leaps forward by putting all his strength on his legs leaving massive cracks behind him on the ground, he crosses the distance between him and Giratina in a second with his immense speed, most of Julian''s Sinnoh team just saw a blur before they finally noticed that Infernape is already airborne and right after they heard an ear-shattering sound as they noticed the ground that was right beneath Infernape has beenpletely destroyed just by his barefoot. As Infernape got into the striking range, he jumped leaving behind a web of destruction on the ground, while Infernape used Fire Punch, Giratina used Shadow Force, both of them shed in mid-air which caused a massive st, the sound of this st once again traveled across different cities and viges around Mt. Cor, Infernape''s fist hit right on Giratina''s head while the Shadow Force around Giratina struck Infernape''s body. ?? Both of them dealt damage to each other and both of them were sent flying backward, Giratina crashednded inside the forest crashing down, to protect itself from further damage it suddenly changed from, its slender snake-like body changed as the spikes on its side turned into legs and its six individual tentacle-like wingsbined to form just two. This is Giratina''s altered form in which its defense is stronger than its attack, it got back to its feet with no severe damage taken from that exchange. Infernape is also sted back towards Julian''s group, the Shadow Force was lot powerful than he thought, even though hended a very powerful attack it didn''t reduce the power behind Giratina''s attack, the Shadow Force hit him at point-nk range. Infernape crashed on the ground and rolled back but he sued his speed and agility and got back to his feet, it was clear, Giratina won that exchange. Giratina used its signature move while Infernape just used a normal move with Iron Fist which increased its power, it was enough to deal with the damage on Giratina but he also got hit bad. The aura of the shadow lingered around Infernape as it was trying to sap away his strength, this only made Infernape mad, he roared as mes burst out of his body and hepletely destroyed the shadow aura around his body that was trying to sap his strength. Julian saw this and didn''t say anything, he needed to know the extent of Giratina''s power and Infernape is the perfect candidate, Infernape has an ace with him so even if he is injured it won''t be a huge matter as he can go into Omni form andpletely heal himself up. Julian noticed the Giratina had changed its form, it now has just two wings and six legs. Julian ''System what are the changes in Giratina?'' He asked as he got curious about this new form of Giratina''s. System ''Giratina''s Defense and Special Defense has increased while its Attack and Special Attack has decreased'' Julian ''This could work in my favor, now I need to push it to the shore'' Julian "Infernape, push it back with everything you got" He said. Infernape nodded and he roared, his second ability ze started to act up as his firepower increased by a huge margin, he used me Charge and rushed towards Giratina with blinding speed, on his way he started to use Agility and increased his speed, even more, now his movements were so fast that even his friends could only see a blur as he left a smoking trail behind him. Infernape crashed into Giratina and pushed it back but Giratina is still not taking any damage, Giratina got furious and shot a powerful Dragon Pulse but Infernape dodged it easily but the cost of dodging is the destruction of the forest around them. This is the reason why Julian wants to take this fight to the ocean in the south of Sinnoh. Julian "Gyarados, use this river and head towards the ocean along with Kabutops and be ready to ambush Giratina" He gave his instruction to Gyarados and Kabutops, they nodded their head and went towards the southern part of Sinnoh''s ocean as this river is connected to it. He looked at Gengar and Pidgeot as they are the only ones who can fly, well Electivire can fly if he Mega Evolves. Julian ''I should not hold back now, time to go all out and push Giratina to the southern seas'' He thought and looked at Electivire. Julian "Electivire time to Mega Evolve" He said and pulled out his keystone that he always wears around his neck, the light from the keystone shed as the Mega Stone that is around Electivire arm''s started to glow and react to the lighting from the keystone, his body started to react as he grew bigger, the two horns on his head disappeared and a trident shaped like lightning bolts appeared on his forehead, the tail end of his tails split up and turned into lightning bolt shape as well. His whole body then changed color from bright yellow and ck to purple and ck. As he Mega Evolved the surrounding around his changed, lightning storms appeared right above him and an invisible electric field spread all around his making his electric type moves even stronger. Electivireughed as he looked at Infernape pushing around Giratina. His thought right now was, ''Wait for me, I am about to join in the fun as well'' Julian didn''t say anything and got on top of Pidgeot and told Gengar to follow behind, for the rest of them, he put them back in their pokeballs and flew up, he needed them forter when he has fully cornered Giratina for good. Chapter 532 - Infernapes Near Defeat With his speed to the max, Infernape kept on pushing Giratina towards the south of Sinnoh where the ocean is at, but even with all these attacks Giratina has not taken any severe damage at all, instead, it is growing even stronger as its rage is growing constantly, every attack that is being released by Giratina is meant to kill Infernape but his speed is not something one can catch up with. Even though Infernape ising out of it unharmed the surrounding is being destroyed by Giratina. ?? The vegetations havepletely been destroyed and some of them withered just because they were exposed to its aura, the pokemons that had already taken shelter underground were really scared because of the devastating fight going outside. Infernape tried his hardest to be airborne for most of the time so that all on Giratina''s attacks don''t hit the ground. He alsobined his different type of moves into one to pressure Giratina more, bu using Close Combat with Fire Punch and ze Kick increased the power of the moves and the fighting moves also started to hit harder. With Infernape''s foresight at work, even a ghost type would be hit by a fighting type move. the barrage of Close Combat with Fire Punch and ze kick is really sessful, Giratina is being pushed back and it has taken a little damage during all these exchanges but this amount of damage is nothing to it. Its healing is faster than the amount of damage Infernape is being able to inflict on it, Infernape is in a pinch right now, he is overdoing himself and is getting tired quickly with all the work he is doing alone,pared to the giant Giratina he is just a tiny monkey who is just 2 meters tall. But he is sessful enough to get Giratina far away from Mt. Cor and into the jungles that will and if they follow this path they will reach the ocean as soon as possible. While Infernape is getting tired he hasn''t given up, every hit hends is bing more and more powerful, he hasn''t had a physical battle for a very long time and this is the time for him to make a breakthrough if he is able to defeat Giratina. As Infernape''s fighting power increases by every second his moves be sloppy as he is getting exhausted right now, he is not being fueled by Omniforce to have unlimited stamina. Seeing that its opponent is getting tired and sloppy Giratina decided to go all out and retaliate, it sts a powerful Dragon Pulse at Infernape but before the Dragon Pulse could hit Infernape it gets countered by a purple lightning bolt that descended from the sky. Giratina finally realizes that there are more opponents that it had ignored, it looked up in the sky and saw a pokemon surrounded by purple lightning as if this pokemon is the god of lightning, the purple lightning around him seems to listen to everything hemands just like a lightning God. Right beside the electric pokemon, Giratina sees a human riding a Pidgeot, Giratina could sense a familiar aura around this human and it hated this aura. Giratina got angry and charged towards Julian using Shadow Force and it shifted back to its Origin form, but before it could get even closer to Julian it got struck by a massive bolt of lightning which caused the Giratina to crashnd on the ground, it roared as the wounds that Infernape had inflicted on it started to sting as lightning struck them hard. But it didn''t mean that Giratina is down, it just shook off the pain and sted a powerful Hyper Beam at Electivire while Electivire countered with Thunder that came crashing down the sky. Julian used this distraction and made Pidgeot fly towards Infernape and picked him up, he checked Infernape and noticed that he hasn''t taken any serious damage, he is just low on stamina and power. Julian "I knew you will overdo it, here eat this" He said and gave some berries to Infernape, Infernape gobbled them down and closed his eyes and started to meditate so that he can get back to full energy. As he rested for a while the battle between Electivire and Giratina seems to be very intense, they both st attacks at each other one after the other but no one ising on top, here Giratina is indeed a lot stronger than Electivire but Electivire has a higher Special Attack than Giratina making them equal in exchanges of Special Attacks. But this is just the beginning of the fight, as Giratina got pushed back more towards the ocean its rage built up even more and the chaos in its body started to grow as it absorbed the life out of every living nts in the vicinity, seeing that his opponent is only getting stronger Electivire decided that it is time for his secret weapon toe out and deal with Giratina. There was always a healthypetition between Infernape and his friends and everyone wanted to defeat Infernape in something, if Electivire can seed in taking down this Giratina, hook or by crook he will be able to brag about it in front of Infernape''s face. Electivire grinned and looked at Giratina who is his current target. Chapter 533 - Defeat? Electivire wants to take down this Giratina before Infernape could step in again and he is about to use his ultimate weapon and he uses it. Suddenly dark chainse out rushing out of the shadows on the ground and wrap around Giratina tightly, Giratina got startled as it noticed these chains wrapping around it, it''s legs and wings were immobilized as it went crashing down on the ground once again. ?? This is Electivire''s secret weapon and it is Gengar''s help, they are partners in crime, anything they are about to do they do it together and this time they decided to take down Giratina before Infernape could. They were always annoyed by how Infernape would always win even if they went all out in everything but they would still lose but this time they don''t want it to happen again. Giratina struggled to get out of the chains but it was very hard, as it is weak to Ghost-type moves the chains are much durable for itpared to the other members of the trio. Seeing his chance Electivire started to prepare for his big move, lightning crackled above him as the dark clouds started to spin as a huge amount of energy was starting to emit out of them, right in the middle of the cloud a massive ball of lightning is being formed. Giratina who is right under the ball struggles to get out of the chains and is sessfully breaking away from them that were around its wings, it tries to fly away but the chains wrapped around its legs are still holding it on the spot. Soon more chainse out of the shadows trying to pin down Giratina but this time Giratina is not letting this to happen again, it sted a Dragon Pulse as the chains and destroyed them, it then aimed a Dragon Pulse right at the chains which are wrapped around its legs but before the Dragon Pulse could touch them, numerous high-speed Shadow Balls collided with the Dragon Pulse and destroyed them. Giratina got pissed and looked at the shadows to find the culprit and it finally found Gengar who is looking at it with a big grin on his face, Seeing that Giratina noticed him Gengar is surprised but what happened next caused him to run, Giratina suddenly shot a powerful Shadow Ball at Gengar, Gengar noticed something was off about this Shadow Ball. He felt danger from it even though he is inside his shadow dimension, he moved away from his positions and saw the Shadow Ball entering his dimension without any resistance, the Shadow Ball went and hit all his prisoners, one of them was the priest who mutated Hydreigon. Before the Shadow Ball hit the priest he was in very bad shape, even though he looked like he was about to die, Gengar didn''t let that happen ever. Every day was mental torture for the priest and the members of the cult inside Gengar''s shadow dimension, he would make them see their worst sins over and over again in their dreams making them regret ever doing the things they did. It was like hell to them and now their time in this hell is over, as the Shadow Ball touched them, their souls were disintegrated into nothingness as they screamed onest time before dying for real. Soon their body turnedpletely white and started to dpose at a rapid phase, soon they turned into ashes and disappeared from Gengar''s Shadow Dimension. Seeing this Gengar is shocked, this is the first time he felt Ghost energy that was so overwhelming, he saw what true Ghost energy could do with his own eyes, he also realized that even though he so strong he is not even close to controlling the amount of power that Giratina just disyed. Its understanding of Ghost energy was way beyond Gengar''s reach. Gengar realized that he needs to breakthrough. Outside his dimension, Giratina was able to break down the chains that were wrapped around its legs by hitting them with a Dragon Pulse, but as soon as its legs were free it felt dangering down from the sky. A gigantic ball of purple lightning that had a diameter of 30 meters, this Electric Ball is filled with destructive energy, once it touches anything it will get zapped and burned to crisp. Seeing that there is no chance of escaping the Electric Ball Giratina roared and covered itself with ghostly energy and used Shadow Force and went straight towards the Electric Ball for a head to head collision. Shadow Force is a very powerful move and with the increasing power of Giratina, the move is getting stronger and stronger. Giratina finally shed with the Electric Ball and everything went chaotic once it happened, the gigantic lightning ball burst into a huge explosion while Giratina was right in the middle of it, it looks like Giratina came out on top once again but it is paralyzed due to the huge amount of electricity running through its body. Julian frowned seeing this, he could tell that Giratina is getting stronger as time passes, he didn''t know why this is happening, during his battle with Dialga and Palkia nothing like this happened. Julian ''System, why is its power increasing as time passes?'' System ''The most likely reason is that the chaos substance that Giratina has taken inside its body is not fully processed and absorbed yet'' As he heard the answer Julian knew this battle is a lot harder than hi thought, the substance that Cyrus made from using the energy extracted from Uxie seems to be more potent than he expected, seeing how unstable the energy is Julian is certain that it was the one first made before they progressed with the blue one that he has. Uxie is created by Arceus so its energy is the purest energy one could find in this world, he is not surprised by how it can power up this Giratina to such extent. Julian ''I have to hurry up and push it backward'' He thought and pulled out a Pokeball from his pouch and tossed it down Chapter 523 - Guardians Of Peace Julian and Cynthia finally arrived at their destination, they are currently standing on a tform which is at a higher than the floor below them, the floor below them is very huge and on that floor are all the Elite Guards being held right now. They all seem to have given up on their life and waiting for death, their weapons have been taken and even their pokemons have been taken away from them, even though their number is so huge they cannot do anything. ?? There are also some Elite Agents of the league down their maintaining order. Julian carefully looked at them, seeing their condition Julian realized that his job has be much easier than he thought, these men have given up on their life and family so even if he shows them a little bit of light they will follow him. The guards down there are currently regretting their decision. If they had not agreed to follow Cyrus they could have still been with their family, to them their lives mean nothing but family is something different, it is the most important thing in the world to them. The ind that they lived in was like a prison, they had no rights of their own, the only happiness they got was from their family, knowing that they can never meet them ever again they felt really bad and regretted siding with Cyrus. They don''t know what happened to Cyrus but they do know that he lost. Julian knows that he is very lucky, all these members are well trained in the field and perfect candidates for his Omni Guardians. Some of the guards who were down looked up as they noticed a few figures above, they saw a middle-aged man, Cynthia and a man in a ck mask and very dark long coat. They didn''t know who the man in ck mask is but they know Cynthia and the middle-aged man, they had seen the man many times by now as hees frequently to check on them, they also know the Champion of Sinnoh but they have no idea who this person in the ck mask is. Soon all of the guards realized that someone is looking at them, they felt afraid as they didn''t know what this man is up to, they could tell that he is the one making the call as he stood in front while Cynthia and the middle-aged man stood behind him. They thought that this man is here to give them their final judgment and execute them. Julian "Why did you all decide to follow Cyrus?" He asked, his voice ispletely different right now, much heavier than his original voice and more mature as well, it makes him sound like a man in histe 20s, the voice was not loud but everyone could clearly hear it, they felt a supreme aura in this voice making them cower in fear as they tensed up. No one wanted to look the masked man in his eyes, they felt like the man''s gaze was seeing through their bodies and into their souls. Well Julian just used Omniforce to create an imposing and supreme aura around him while changing his voice as well, this helped him put on this act of a very powerful and strict person All the guards looked at each other and sent one of them forward to answer. Julian recognized the man who they sent forward, it was the same man he questioned when he went to save the Elite Agents. "Sir, we were told by Cyrus that he will grant us freedom and help our families escape from that ind so we sided with him, we had no idea what he was up to" The captain said. Julian "Freedom huh?" Captain "Yes" Julian "What if I told you I can give you the freedom you wanted and help your families get out of the ind?" He asked. Hearing the masked man the captain was stunned along with other guards. Captain "How can we believe you?" He asked. They have already been betrayed once and lied to by Cyrus, they would rather die than be a pawn, some of the guards were against the Captain talking like this to the masked man but they didn''t say anything out of fear. Julian "Because unlike Cyrus, I am not a criminal, with my support even the League won''t interfere with your lives, you all will have your own citizenship in Sinnoh and walk around freely on the streets of Sinnoh without being suspected by anyone, you will have a job that will feed your family as well" He said. Hearing this the guards down there had the light of hope rekindled in their heart, they looked at the masked man but still were hesitant. Captain "What do we have to do in exchange?" He asked. He knew life is not so kind, there is always something more than one sees and hears. Julian "You all will be working as my faction members, you all are talented men who are experienced inbat and pokemon training, killing you all will be a waste, work for me and what Cyrus couldn''t provide, I will" He said. Captain "What is this faction?" He asked. He wanted to know what he and his brothers are getting in before making any decision. Julian "Unlike your previous job you all will be the guardians of public safety, instead of mindless killing you all will do anything to save an innocent''s life, your identity during your work will bepletely different from your normal life, no one will know about it, not even your family members, for all the sins you all havemitted till now, it time for you all to pay for it by doing good and saving lives around the world, you will be the Guardians of Peace" Julian''s words echoed around the room as the Elite Guards down there didn''t know what to say, for some reason they felt really great If what this man in the ck mask is saying is true that their life is going to changepletely. Captain "I need to discuss it with my brothers" He said and walked back to the crown of Guards waiting for him. Julian didn''t say anything and just watched them. Julian ''Well that was easy'' He thought as he already knows the answer, he smiled slightly, Cynthia caught onto his smile and smiled as well, she knew that Julian was sessful. Chapter 524 - Omni Guardians Julian just stood there as he watched the guards discussing what they should do, even they knew what they want to do they were still hesitant, this was a matter of life and death to them and their family. Their family is still on the ind so they have no idea how Julian is going to save them as well, but for now, they had no choice but to follow the masked man. ?? The captain walked out of the group again and looked at Julian. Captain "We all agree to follow you" He said. Julian "Good, from now on you are the members of Omni Guardians, your work-life should always be a secret from your personal life, you should nevermit murder or take the life of another person, these two are the most important rule you people have to follow no matter what happens, and if you break any one of these rules, you will be taken care of in secret and no one will ever remember your existence" He gave them a warning and this was enough for them to never cross these lines set by Julian, seeing all of them nodding their head in agreement Julian smiled lightly. Julian "Good, now you all will give your names and age to one of the agents below, once your citizenship is created you will be free from here, till then you all have to wait" He said. "WE UNDERSTAND" Every one of them shouted happily, this life has taken a full 180-degree turn, a few minutes before they all were waiting for their death and now they will be free citizens of Sinnoh. Julian turned and walked away while Cynthia and the middle-aged man followed right behind him, once they were out of the noodle shop, Julian looked at the middle-aged man. Julian "Take care of them" He said and finally walked out with Cynthia and left, after putting some distance from the noodle shop Julian removed his mask, fixed his hairstyle and removed his coat, straightened it and put it on the right way. Now he is back to being Julian that everyone knows. Cynthia "You did it" She said and smiled, she is genuinely happy for him, she understands Julian''s will to protect the innocents and she supported this move from him and will do for his future decisions as well. Julian "I think I had enough of today, I want to go and rest on your bed with you" He said and grabbed Cynthia''s waist and pulled her closer, she blushed and nodded her head as they head back to her ce. _____________________ Back on top of Mt. Cor, the area around the Spear Pir seems to be having some change, the crack on the sky is not closing as there seem to be no Unowns present there to mend it, suddenly a thunderous roar came from the other side of the crack as a fast-moving shadow mmed onto the crack causing the size of the crack to grow bigger. The pokemon on the other side roared once again as it nced at the Spear Pir with its blue glowing eyes and went away. after a few seconds, it rushed towards the crack again and smashed into it causing it to be bigger again but it doesn''t seem easy to break this barrier. The pokemon continued doing this again and again as no one knew what was happening but it didn''t mean that this act didn''t go unnoticed. The threeke guardians came out of theirkes once again and stared at Mt. Cor with a worried look on their face, this pokemon is something that they didn''t want to encounter, they felt afraid and they suddenly thought of someone that could help. They disappeared from their spot as thekes that they belong to continued to shimmer under the sunlight. Theke guardians were not the only ones who noticed this, there was another pokemon but this pokemon stayed silent and didn''t do anything as it has nothing to do with this. _______________________ Back in Cynthia''s ce Julian and Cynthia are having fun together on their bed as the sun is about to set, they ate their dinner and slept. As Julian slept peacefully beside his girlfriend he started to dream. Inside his dream Julian is still conscious, he found himself in a white room, he looked around and found nothing, for some reason this space seemed familiar to him, he then realized that this was the same space where he first met God. Suddenly his vision changed as he sawke Acuity in front of him. Julian ''I know this is a dream but why am I dreaming about this?'' Suddenly his vision started to change again andke Valor suddenly appeared right next toke Acuity Julian ''What kind of dream is it?'' He spoke on his dream and again his vision changed aske Verity appeared next. Julian ''Something is definitely going on here'' He thought as three figures suddenly appeared above the threekes, it was theke guardians, seeing this Julian confirmed that something is definitely wrong, the three guardians then flew towards Julian and floated right in front of him, the three then held each other hand as the jewels in their tail and in the middle of their forehead started to glow, they suddenly emitted a bright light which blinded Julian causing him to cover his eyes even in his dream. Then he suddenly started to have a vision. Chapter 536 - A Surprise Guest Julian is surprised by this surprise visit from an old friend, as Julian was thinking of a way to help Gengar and Electivire he noticed something underground, Julian''s heart started to beat faster as he looked at the ground. Suddenly the ground started to shake as a massive earthquake took everyone by surprise, suddenly massive earth spikes came rushing out of the ground and hit Giratina right under its belly and sent it crashing into the ground and roared in pain. ?? These spikes are over 10 meters long and had a lot of power behind them, even Julian is shocked by how powerful they were. Electivire, Gengar and Heatran are surprised by this sudden change in the battlefield, Giratina got back to its feet and looked at the ground and roared angrily and to counter it another roar came from the underground, suddenly the ground started to split andva erupted out of the cracked and spread around the area, suddenly a massive head popped out of the huge split on the ground, it''s red in color with des like armor on top of its head. This pokemon roared and climbed out of the pit, it stands 18 meters tall and it hasva flowing around the crevasses of its body. It is Groudon but in his Primal Form. Julian knows this one, its the Groudon he faced back in Hoenn and caught it in an Ultra Ball and released it afterward so that it can live freely. Julian ''Looks like it became more powerful and got its true strength back'' He thought and looked at Primal Groudon. Primal Groudon is the original Groudon, when it was created it was in its Primal form but it lost its power and became weak but now Groudon has gained back its strength and hase here out of nowhere to help Julian. Technically Groudon is Julian''s pokemon as he caught it but he never trained it, Julian let him free as such powerful beings should be free and walk around the world that they created. Primal Groudon looked up and Julian and roared at him, it was as if it''s saying thanks to him, Julian didn''t understand why but he will not let go of this opportunity, in his previous fight with Groudon its Defense was ridiculous and it packed a very powerful attack. After it turned into its Primal form it got harder to take them on, Julian had to let Groudon and Kyogre battle it off, that is also when Infernape first achieved his Omniform and brought both of them down. Julian looked at Primal Groudon and he could easily tell that this Groudon is much stronger than the one he faced in Hoenn, during its rampage in Hoenn it achieved Primal Reversion through the use of the Red Orb and it doesn''t seem to be its real power at all. Now it is at its full power, the real monster that created thends and fought Primal Kyogre for generations after generations. Julian looked at Primal Groudon and noticed something different, its eyes were filled with seriousness and a strong will to defeat Giratina as if it wanted to protect something. Julian ''Of course, it sensed Giratina''s appearance in this world, it cannot just allow some pokemon toe and destroy its creation'' He thought and got excited to see what Groudon is going to do against Giratina. Giratina roared and charged at Groudon using Shadow Force and Primal Groudon locked onto the ground to sh with it. Julian told his pokemons to rest while Groudon handles this, Electivire, Gengar, and Heatran backed away to rest a little and watch how powerful Groudon has really gotten. Theva around Groudon''s body started to glow and circte around its body as it charged up for a powerful attack, a massive ball of energy got created in front of its mouth as it waited for Giratina to get closer. Massive explosions seem to be happening inside Groudon''s body as its attack''s power kept on increasing, this is Groudon''s signature move, Eruption. The more stamina Groudon has the more powerful the move is if it gets tired and hurt the attack power of this move weakens but right now it is at full strength. Groudon sts the bright yellowish-orange beam at Giratina which ising towards it at incredible speed, the Shadows around it seems to be screaming as they tried to rip through the Eruption that Groudon justunched. Both attack finally shed, at first Eruption seem to be effective as it pushed Giratina back a little but it suddenly roared and the strength behind the attack increased by a lot and it tore straight through the Eruption as the Shadow Force assaulted Groudon and sent it crashing into the ground, as Groudon fell the ground around it started to melt and trees started to burn but it is not of concern at all. Anynd Groudon creates or changes be highly nutritious after it dries down. It is clear that even the Primal Groudon cannot do go head to head against this Giratina. Julian just watches from the side as he knows that this battle is not over, just like this Giratina, Primal Groudon''s Defense is very high, it should be able to take more than 10 to 20 hits from Giratina''s Shadow Force before getting knocked outpletely. Julian knows that this Groudon is a lot stronger than before, it has more firepower and higher defense, even Infernape in his Omniform will not be able to take it down with one hit like thest time. He looked at Infernape and noticed he is still in his zen state. Julian ''Infernape''s current status?'' System ''Possibility of achieving breakthrough rose to 80%'' Hearing this Julian got excited, just 20% and it should be enough but he also knows that thisst 20% will be the hardest, he might not be able to make a breakthrough even if he reaches 99%. He just had to wait and let Groudon handle this. Chapter 526 - Reunion Julian headed directly to the nearest Pokemon center, pokemon centers are open 24 hours a day so he had no problem finding one, as he walked in he saw the center was quite empty, there was one young man sleeping on the bench waiting for his injured pokemon to be fully healed. Julian didn''t see Nurse Joy around so he didn''t bother looking around, he directly headed towards the pokemon transferring machine and called Professor Oak through it. ?? He had to wait for a while before Professor Oak finally picked up the call, Julian saw Professor Oak still in his pink pajamas yawning in front of the screen with his mouth wide open. Oak "Ju....lian, why are youuu calling at this time of the day?" He asked while still drowsy. Julian "Something came up, I need all of my Kanto Team" He said. Hearing his Oak snapped out of his drowsiness and looked seriously at Julian. Oak "Is this so serious?" To that Julian simply nodded his head. Oak "Ok, wait for a few minutes, I have to go and call them" He said and walked away from the screen, it nearly took him ten minutes to get back but he got all of Julian''s Kanto pokemon in their pokeballs and sent them to Julian one after the other. Gyarados, Venusaur, Heatran, Electivire, Pidgeot, Kabutops. These six of them are back with Julian ready to destroy anything that stands in their path. Julian "Thank you, Professor Oak, you can go and rest now, I won''t bother you anymore" Oak "Just don''t destroy everything around you, things are expensive to repair back to their original state" He said and walked away yawning. Julian sighed and looked at the six Pokeball in his hand, these six were his first-ever team, his strongest and most trusted and he has to rely on them again to take down the monster that he and his team is about to face. Gengar who is in his shadow also got excited to meet his old friends, Crystal also woke up and popped its head out and looked at the pokeballs in Julian''s hand, it floated out and sniffed at the pokeballs and found two familiar scents on them, Electivire''s and Pidgeot''s, even though Crystal has seen Julian''s other pokemon it had no idea of how strong they are, it was just a little innocent baby seeing the outside world for the first time. Crystal looked at Julian with its big eyes for answers. Julian "They all are your big brothers, so get along with them" He said and rubbed Crystal''s little head with his finger, Julian then walked out of the pokemon center and headed directly towards Mt. Cor as it is the ce where everything will start and it might be the ce where everything will end as well. He made Garchompnd near a river, this river was formed from the molten snow flowing down from Mt. Cor, after putting up a camp he called out his Kanto pokemons. When they came out all of them released a very powerful aura which scared Crystal as it tucked down its head inside Julian''s pocket, seeing Julian all of them rushed towards him and jumped up on it, under a second he was under his huge pokemons. If he had a normal body he would have been crushed t by them, he struggled out of the group and looked at all of them and smiled, he could tell all of them have grown a lot stronger than thest time he saw them. He looked at Gyarados and realized that he grew even bigger, now he is 16 meters tall, even the Giratina in his dream would look small in front of him. Julian "You all have grown up a lot, now all of you can take care of yourself even if you leave to live in the wild" He said. Crystal once again came out and stared at the group of pokemon standing in front of Julian, Crystal stared at them curiously as it saw Pidgeot and Electivire in the group, it came out of Julian''s pocket and floated towards them, Crystal looked at everyone and became happy, they all gave off a very kind aura towards it and Crystal loved it. The most Crystal is interested is Gyarados due to his size, Crystal is so small that Gyarados''s pupil is bigger than it, Crystal flew on the top and saw down on top of Gyarados, Gyarados didn''t mind the little one and slithered into the river and dove its head down. Gengar also came out of Julian''s shadow and greeted his buddies, his best friend Electivire, now they are back together they are going to make a lot of trouble, he also greeted the others byughing at their face, it was as if he is insulting them and making fun of them, Julian never understood Gengar''s humor, he just knows that Gengar enjoys when someone else is suffering. He pissed of Venusaur do so and got pped twice on his butt by Venusaur''s vines, Venusaur is the gentle giant of the group so its rare for him to get mad. Julian looked at Venusaur and noticed that Venusaur''s flower has changed colors, it''s much brighter and bigger now. He then walked towards Heatran and patted his head, Heatran was the pokemon he kept secret from the world before because he didn''t have enough power to protect him but now it''s different now, no one would dare to touch Heatran now and he doesn''t even need Julian''s protection now. He is strong enough to take on anyone. He then moved towards Kabutops the youngest of the group but he also caught up to the others very fast as well. Julian then called out Infernape and Snox as well, seeing Infernape Venusaur and Heatran got excited, they were the best of friends and Snox, he doesn''t care, nothing is more important to him than his food and sleep. He is currently sleeping and won''t wake up until Julian gives him some food to eat. He let his old team settle down before he introduces his new team to them, Pidgeot and Electivire have already seen them but the other four haven''t. Once their excitement was down from meeting their friends again he called out his Sinnoh team. Garchomp, Manaphy, Rampardos, Victini, Togekiss, Lucario and Gliscor are the ones who have never seen Julian''s ace team and now they finally get the chance. Chapter 527 - Evacuation The Sinnoh team noticed the huge pokemons in front of them, they saw their senior Gengar and Infernape smiling with these group of pokemon who seemed very strong. Julian "They are your seniors, just like Infernape, Gengar, and Snox" ?? He said and introduced the group to their seniors, the Sinnoh team looked at the giants and wondered if they are as strong as Infernape and Gengar. As for Snox, they have never seen the giant move at all, they either have seen him eating or sleeping. Manaphy and Victini look around to search for Crystal and they see it sitting on top of a flowing river, they look at Crystal confused, even they cannot sit on top of a flowing river so still. Crystal looks at its friends and waves its tiny arms and beckons them toe over, Manaphy and Victini head towards Crystal to see how it is doing so. As they get closer to Crystal they saw it tapping the water surface and suddenly the water underneath Crystal started to rise up as they saw a humongous monster rise from the river, Manaphy and Victini got scared and rushed back towards Julian and noticed the monster, it was Gyarados, they have never seen a Gyarados this big in their life, they have seen Gyaradoses before but never one that stood 16 meter tall. They saw Crystal giggling with its mouth covered by its little hands, they knew that Crystal did that on purpose and they got angry but they are still scared for the giant in front of them. Just looking at Gyarados would cause a fully grown pokemon to cower in fear let alone these two who are still young and haven''t experienced the cruel world enough. Julian''s other pokemons were also shocked seeing such a huge Gyarados, this is their first time seeing a real monster like Gyarados. Julian "Gyarados, don''t scare them" Julian said. Gyarados growled and went into the river as Crystal is still sitting on top of him, Julian''s Sinnoh team didn''t know what to do right now, even Tyranitar and Absol didn''t act up in front of them so how could they. The atmosphere is very tense, seeing this Julian chuckled, he had expected this, his Sinnoh team were very proud of their strength and they should be but in front of the nine pokemons from the Kanto team, they were nothing. They also realized that Infernape was still the boss among the group, this made them wonder just how powerful Infernape really is, they had never seen Infernape going all out, during the time he fought Dialga, Julian didn''t allow his Sinnoh team to get out of their Pokeball as they were too weak. But now things are different, they are already Elite Level and with Julian behind them, they can take on any champion level pokemon, they can be the second force who should be able to handle their own when troublees. Julian let them alone, he cannot interfere and force a rtionship between his pokemons, they had to do it by themselves since it been a very long time since he had such a huge team with him, he had to work a lot. He could already see the morning sun rising from the east, he had to make a lot of food for them as they all need to be in perfect shape before they take on the danger. He soon started to work his ass off on a huge pot, the aroma from the food he prepared attracted a lot of attention from the pokemons of the forest but none of them tried to enter the vicinity due to the nine giants who were releasing a very faint aura that scared of any pokemon that tried to enter. ______________________ While Julian was preparing for the big event, Cynthia is also doing her job, she quickly informed the league and they went straight into the action, evacuating the citizens and vigers of the cities, towns, and vige was in movement, there were a lot of questions thrown at the league and they answered them. They told the people that a disaster is near so they have to evacuate, just like Julian had predicted, the public broke out into a panic but that is also why he sent Cynthia with them. Cynthia came forward and gave them hope and became their hero, she showed them her and her pokemon''s power, telling them that nothing is going to happen to them till she is around. The Elite Four were also behind her which helped a lot in calming down the public, but there is still fear in the eyes of the people of Sinnoh. The League didn''t specify what the threat is but it''s for the public''s own good. If they knew that an angry god is about to destroy everything, no matter how strong Cynthia is they will not be able to trust her for her protection, at the end of the day a human cannot go against a god no matter what the circumstances are. Evacuation is in process, every city, town, and vige near Mt. Cor is being abandoned, people are taking their most important valuables and leaving the rest behind. The atmosphere is tense as the threat of the unknown disaster is lingering in the air. ________________________ The sun rises and lights up the whole city but nothing has changed, as the evacuation is happening, Julian''s pokemon are getting ready, Snox has woken up from his deep slumber as he smelled the delicious food that Julian has prepared, luckily Julian had prepared a lot knowing Snox is going to gulp down everything in front of him. Now Julian just has to wait for this disaster to appear and he will take it head-on, this time he will be the one to make the first move, he won''t allow the opposite party to kill any innocent being in Sinnoh. Chapter 528 - The Hyperbeam Back inside the Spear Pir, the pokemon from the other side is continuously bashing the crack which is getting bigger and bigger every time it ms into it, for some reason, it''s getting more aggressive by the second as its power seems to be increasing. It''s not long before the wall between the two dimensions shatters and the pokemon from the other side will be finally free. ?? Seeing that the wall is about to shatterpletely the pokemon flies back far away and charges at the crack as dark energy cover its body, the space in front of it shifts and gets distorted and it crashes into the opening, suddenly the crack suddenly opens up and spreads like a spider web and then shatters into pieces revealing a huge hole in the sky above the Spear Pir, chaos leaks out like water waves crashing into a bolder but the chaos is stopped by the clouds surrounding the area, the chaos is not able to leave Mt. Cor at all, the clouds around it are magical. The pokemon on the other hand finally came into this dimension and looked around and gave out a thunderous roar, the roar shook everything around the Spear Pir. The pirs that were around the alter started to crack and finally broke down, the alter started to disintegrate as soon as this pokemon''s aura touched it. The pokemon roared once again and charged at the clouds covering the alter, as soon as its body touched the alter something happened. A force field appeared out of nowhere and sted the pokemon at the Spear Pir, the pokemon crashed into the Spear Pir and hit its back, its body bent in a way one should never bend but the pokemon just surged it off and roared, it opened its armor shaped mandibles and shot a powerful Hyper Beam at the clouds, the forcefield appeared again and reflected the Hyper Beam at the pokemon. The pokemon once again used Hyper Beam to counter the iing Hyper Beam and destroyed itpletely, the pokemon''s Hyper Beam then continued towards the clouds and hit it again, the same thing happened, the Hyper Beam got reflected and countered by another Hyper Beam. If Julian was here he would be surprised, to shoot out such powerful Hyper Beams once after the other without taking a break was something impossible but he would be expecting this as he already knows the identity of the pokemon. The pokemon continued its assault at the clouds, the forcefield surrounding it seems to be growing weaker and weaker by the second, this time it will be thest, it closed off its mandibles and straightened its body like a missile, the pokemon then surrounded itself with ghostly energy, purple aura covered its body as its eyes glowed. The pokemon used Shadow Force and charged at the cloud with full power, the surrounding became purple itself as the ghostly energy leaked out of the pokemon''s body, its pointy mandibles finally made the contact against the forcefield and pierced right through it. The dark energy around its body suddenly assaulted the forcefield as well and shattered itpletely. As the forcefield was no more the pokemon shot out of the clouds and saw the light of the sun at the other end but it soon realized that it is not light but a very powerful Hyper Beam. The Hyper Beamnded right on its face and sent it back into the clouds, the pokemon crashed on the alter''s floor but stood up as if nothing happened, it shook its head and looked at the hole in the cloud, that Hyper Beam just tore through the clouds and hit it. It understood that whatever attacked it is no easy opponent but this pokemon is not something anyone can mess with, even with that powerful Hyper Beam there isn''t even a scratch on this pokemon. It gets in the sky and suddenly roars causing the whole world to shake, now that there is a huge hole in the cloud nothing is being separated from the world outside. The whole Sinnoh hears this roar, the people on the streets shiver in fear after hearing it while the elites of the world frown and show their concern. Cynthia who is helping the public move to a safer ce, underground facilities built for locations like this looks at the direction of Mt. Cor, she is concerned about Julian, hearing this roar caused her heart to stop for a second in fear, She understood that this is something she cannot even take on in her dreams, but she cannot do anything, one thing she does know is to trust Julian, only he is the one who can stop this monster. _________________________ Few minutes before Giratina broke through the crack and entered the Spear Pir, Julian and his pokemons are ready, right now they are just goofing off, his Sinnoh team seems to have grown closer to his old team, it is because his old team is more mature and don''t show off their powers, they will not boast about their powers, well except Electivire, he is the only one who flexes on his juniors about his ridiculous power and how he can control lightning with just simple actions. And Luxray is his biggest fan, Luxray dreams to be as strong as Electivire one day but that day is still far from happening. Since his Sinnoh team had already seen Electivire and lived with him for a few days they didn''t feel any pressure. With Infernape around, he let his Juniors interact with Infernape''s friends and told them to get along as they are a huge family and they love one person more than anything in this whole world and that is Julian. As they were having fun, Infernape and his friends sensed something and so did Julian and Crystal. Julian looked at the top of Mt. Cor as he felt something was trying to break through it. Julian "Gyarados, are you ready, as soon as you sense Giratina, hit it with your Hyper Beam" As Julian gave hismand, Gyarados emerged out of the river as the aura around his changed, the gentle giant who looks very scary became a demon, feeling the aura, Julian''s Sinnoh team backed off a little. This is the first time they have ever sensed something so powerful. They are finally going to witness what their seniors are really capable of. Chapter 540 - Laziness Is Happiness While the world outside the cmity zone is having a huge panic, inside the cmity area, Giratina is having the shock of its life, as they both exchanged powerful Hyper Beams both of them were blown away by the huge impact created by the explosion that came after. Giratina got hurt by that and was thrown into the ocean''s water while Snox was thrown to the forest area, while Giratina got hurt Snox came out of it with no damage done to him, just leaves stuck on his lips which he licked it off with his tongue and ate it. ?? There is dirt all over his body which he tried to dust off but it was harder than he thought which irritated him a lot and hepletely ignored his opponent and focused on removing the dirt from his belly and the gap between his toes. Julian looked at Snox and sighed, only he could act such carefree while the world''s safety depended on him, he looked at the huge 8 km destroyed beach which started to get filled with the ocean''s water as there is a huge crater there now. an 8 km water body in diameter, people wouldn''t believe it until they see it by their own eyes. While Giratina is staring angrily at Snox and Snox is busy wiping the dirt off his body, Julian is looking at the huge water body that has just formed, the problem right now is that Snox cannot fight Giratina on water and if wants Snox to battle it, he would have to go back to the maind. Thinking what should he do right now, his answer came right towards him walking on its own two feet, Primal Groudon, it finally caught up. Julian "Great, Groudon created a hardnd across this water body" Hearing Julian Groudon roared and started to create magma out of nowhere, the magma collected below its feet as it started to walk, as Groudon started to walk forward the ground behind him got created, this ground is hard as the strongest material on this and as this molten magma came in contact with the water below it cooled down very fast and hardened which made it easier to walk on and with Snox''s defense it is nothing but huge bowl of food for him. After cleaning of the dirtpletely from his belly and between his toes Snox looked around as he forgot what he was really doing, he looked around and saw this huge water body and a familiar face walking across it as it creatednd behind it. Snox looked at Groudon and remembered that he once fought this giant, then he suddenly remembered that he just exchanged a move with another giant who was hell-bent on attacking him, he looked around to find the one who caused his fur to get dirty, Julian works hard to keep all of his pokemons clean and tidy so Snox got angry because Giratina will be the reason for Julian to work hard again. His anger boosted and he started to run on top of the new ground created by Groudon, as he ran his belly-flopped up and down but his speed was incredible, Giratina noticed Snox rushing towards it, this is the first time Snox decided to make an attack so Giratina has no reason to hold back. It consumed the chaos inside its body and increased its power and rushed towards Snox using Shadow Force, while Groudon was creating this hugend bridge it noticed the sudden rise of powerful aura both in front and the back, it stopped and quickly retreated to the side by creating a separate path, it saw a very fat pokemon running towards Giratina while its belly-flopped up and down but it was surprised by the speed this big fat pokemon is running at. Groudon remembered this big bloke, it is one of Julian''s pokemon it had trouble dealing with and now looking at it Groudon realized that this fat bloke has grown even stronger, it watched as Snox crushed the ground it created with every step he took, thend bridge which Giratina created by using a lot of special magma so that it won''t break easily started to break down right behind Snox''s heavy and fast footsteps. Energy simr to Hyper Beam started to form around Snox but this is not Hyper Beam, this is Giga Impact, Snox''s strongest move as he is a Physical hitter. Snox''s speed increased even further as the energy took over his body, thend bridge that Groudon created turned into rubles as soon as Snox used Giga Impact. Seeing this Julian''s mouth is agape, he could tell that Snox is mad but he didn''t know why, well he at least knows that Snox won''t mind being attacked at all, for him to get angry Giratina must have done something very bad. In Snox''s mind, bad equals to Julian working hard, in Snox''s world the ultimate happiness is beingzy so he expects Julian to lead azy and happy life as well, as Giratina made his fur dirty now Julian has to clean him up which will lead to Julian working and not beingzy and live happily. If Julian knew what Snox is thinking he wouldugh till he goes out of breath and dies. Giratina also sensed the change in Snox''s attitude and increased its speed to double the damage of its moves, as they were just meters away Snox jumped at Giratina using a full power Giga Impact, his strongest move. What wille after this Julian already knows so he already created a new barrier over the old one and this time much thicker. Chapter 530 - Infernape Steps In Julian "Gyarados one more time" As he saw the monstrous Giratina approaching him he made the call, Gyarados charged up and shot another powerful Hyper Beam at Giratina but this time Giratina had a counter, it shot its own Hyper Beam, as the two Hyper Beam shed, Gyarados''s Hyper Beam got overpowered and pushed back by Giratina''s, ?? Giratina''s Hyper Beam pierced through its opponents and headed directly towards Gyarados. Julian "Gyarados move to the side" As the Hyper Beam was about to hit Gyarados he moved his head and the Hyper Beamnded on the ground andpletely destroyed the surrounding, the whole ground got caved in by it and this was a weakened Hyper Beam as it lost most of its energy countering Gyarados''s Hyper Beam. Julian "As expected, this Giratina is too strong" He thought and looked at Snox who has his eyes opened but is sleeping, Julian told Snox not to sleep right now so Snox tried very hard not to. Even though his eyes are wide open he fell asleep. Julian sighed decided to use Sleep Talk for now. Julian [Sleep Talk] Snox suddenly got on his feet while he is still snoring with his eyes open. Julian''s Sinnoh team were surprised by this sudden movement as they looked at Snox in surprise, they had never seen this giant move so fast, every time they saw Snox move was when he was given food or when he is changing position during his sleep. Even the loudest sound couldn''t wake him up. Julian [Show Giratina what a true Hyper Beam looks like] Snox opened his mouth with a low hum sound, he started to channel energy in front of his mouth, as the energy started to increase by every second, the surrounding itself started to change, the energy caused the air to vibrate and the temperature started to rise rapidly. The ground underneath Snox feet shook and cracked as the energy being channeled in his body caused the ground to shatter forming a web pattern. Snox sted the Hyper Beam at Giratina, this Hyper Beam is way stronger than Gyarados, Gyarados''s Hyper Beam is nothingpared to this, feeling the pressure from the Hyper Beam being released, Julian''s Sinnoh pokemon went on their knees as they felt the immense power behind it. Their mind was once again blown by this, they though Gyarados was a monster but the real monster is the gentle sleeping giant that has been with them from the very beginning. This Hyper Beam was so powerful that even space started to quake from the pressure, sensing the dangering towards it the Giratina countered with its own Hyper Beam once again. This time the result is different from before, as the two Hyper Beam collided it created a thunderous explosion, the shock wave from the collision traveled kilometers away from the impact site, the sound of the collision could be heard all over the neighboring cities and viges that are near the impact site. The light from the explosion blinded everyone, as the light finally faded away, the result was clear, it was a draw. Julian didn''t say anything and just stared at Giratina, he is not worried right now because this is not Snox''s full power, he is not a special attack but a physical one, even though Hyper Beam is powerful it''s not his strongest move. The Giratina just got mad as it saw its attack was not effective this time, it roared which was heard by every living being in Sinnoh as it started to cover its body with ghostly aura. The aura caused the surroundings around Mt. Cor to change, the sky became darker as chaos spread everywhere, the trees and nts around the area suddenly started to wither as they lost their source of life, seeing this Julian frowned, he knew that he cannot allow Giratina to get near any area that is filled with people, just the aura that Giratina is emitting will kill them slowly, the pokemons will survive as they are powerful but not humans, they are totally helpless against such power. Giratina shut its mandibles and straightened its body and spread its six pointy wings as the ghostly energy around its body became more thick and powerful. Julian knew it was going for a serious move right now. Julian "Infernape, get ready" He knew that he needs to send out his most powerful pokemon for this fight, Infernape has never stopped growing as well, since hisst battle with Dialga, Infernape is a lot stronger now, Infernape channeled his power into his fist as he activated his ability, Iron Fist. His focus increased as nothing could distract him, his right fist started to glow a lot brighter blinding everyone as it zed up with blue mes, the fist didn''t release any powerful aura or oppressive energy but one could tell that anything this fist touches would be obliterated. Infernape put the remaining energy in his legs, the ground underneath his leg started to crack as Infernape built up more power, the crack started to spread rapidly as the ground started to cave in. The ground then started to split open around Infernape, the mes on his head started to dance wild as the surrounding became immensely hot. This is an Infernape only his teammates have seen, the one who is the most dangerous when he gets serious and right now he is serious, his previous battle with Dialga hurt his pride a lot even though he didn''t show it to anyone. Infernape hates losing and draw is never an option, the draw with Dialga really pushed him to train harder than ever. The aura that Infernape is releasing right now is majestic, like a me emperor ready to burn everything in his path. Seeing him like this Julian''s Sinnoh team were in awe as they felt chilling sensation all over their body, such show of strength without releasing even a single bit of the energy inside him was something only he could do. Lucario his biggest fan had her eyes open wide as she saw her teacher''s serious form, the gentle yet strict teacher of hers had never once been serious about anything in his life but right now he is emitting this majestic aura that could cause anyone to be in awe of him. This time Infernape is aiming for a win, the option of loosing or a draw doesn''t exist in his mind, even if this Giratina is the strongest opponent he has ever faced he will take it down with his fist. Julian could tell what Infernape is thinking, even though he knows that this is a bad idea he won''t stop Infernape, Infernape has always risen over everything and done everything to win. Drawing against Dialga was like a loss to him so he is not backing up this time now. Chapter 531 - The Battle Begins Giratina charges at Julian''s group as it uses Shadow Force, its signature move, as soon as Giratina makes its move, Infernape starts to run, he leaps forward by putting all his strength on his legs leaving massive cracks behind him on the ground, he crosses the distance between him and Giratina in a second with his immense speed, most of Julian''s Sinnoh team just saw a blur before they finally noticed that Infernape is already airborne and right after they heard an ear-shattering sound as they noticed the ground that was right beneath Infernape has beenpletely destroyed just by his barefoot. As Infernape got into the striking range, he jumped leaving behind a web of destruction on the ground, while Infernape used Fire Punch, Giratina used Shadow Force, both of them shed in mid-air which caused a massive st, the sound of this st once again traveled across different cities and viges around Mt. Cor, Infernape''s fist hit right on Giratina''s head while the Shadow Force around Giratina struck Infernape''s body. ?? Both of them dealt damage to each other and both of them were sent flying backward, Giratina crashednded inside the forest crashing down, to protect itself from further damage it suddenly changed from, its slender snake-like body changed as the spikes on its side turned into legs and its six individual tentacle-like wingsbined to form just two. This is Giratina''s altered form in which its defense is stronger than its attack, it got back to its feet with no severe damage taken from that exchange. Infernape is also sted back towards Julian''s group, the Shadow Force was lot powerful than he thought, even though hended a very powerful attack it didn''t reduce the power behind Giratina''s attack, the Shadow Force hit him at point-nk range. Infernape crashed on the ground and rolled back but he sued his speed and agility and got back to his feet, it was clear, Giratina won that exchange. Giratina used its signature move while Infernape just used a normal move with Iron Fist which increased its power, it was enough to deal with the damage on Giratina but he also got hit bad. The aura of the shadow lingered around Infernape as it was trying to sap away his strength, this only made Infernape mad, he roared as mes burst out of his body and hepletely destroyed the shadow aura around his body that was trying to sap his strength. Julian saw this and didn''t say anything, he needed to know the extent of Giratina''s power and Infernape is the perfect candidate, Infernape has an ace with him so even if he is injured it won''t be a huge matter as he can go into Omni form andpletely heal himself up. Julian noticed the Giratina had changed its form, it now has just two wings and six legs. Julian ''System what are the changes in Giratina?'' He asked as he got curious about this new form of Giratina''s. System ''Giratina''s Defense and Special Defense has increased while its Attack and Special Attack has decreased'' Julian ''This could work in my favor, now I need to push it to the shore'' Julian "Infernape, push it back with everything you got" He said. Infernape nodded and he roared, his second ability ze started to act up as his firepower increased by a huge margin, he used me Charge and rushed towards Giratina with blinding speed, on his way he started to use Agility and increased his speed, even more, now his movements were so fast that even his friends could only see a blur as he left a smoking trail behind him. Infernape crashed into Giratina and pushed it back but Giratina is still not taking any damage, Giratina got furious and shot a powerful Dragon Pulse but Infernape dodged it easily but the cost of dodging is the destruction of the forest around them. This is the reason why Julian wants to take this fight to the ocean in the south of Sinnoh. Julian "Gyarados, use this river and head towards the ocean along with Kabutops and be ready to ambush Giratina" He gave his instruction to Gyarados and Kabutops, they nodded their head and went towards the southern part of Sinnoh''s ocean as this river is connected to it. He looked at Gengar and Pidgeot as they are the only ones who can fly, well Electivire can fly if he Mega Evolves. Julian ''I should not hold back now, time to go all out and push Giratina to the southern seas'' He thought and looked at Electivire. Julian "Electivire time to Mega Evolve" He said and pulled out his keystone that he always wears around his neck, the light from the keystone shed as the Mega Stone that is around Electivire arm''s started to glow and react to the lighting from the keystone, his body started to react as he grew bigger, the two horns on his head disappeared and a trident shaped like lightning bolts appeared on his forehead, the tail end of his tails split up and turned into lightning bolt shape as well. His whole body then changed color from bright yellow and ck to purple and ck. As he Mega Evolved the surrounding around his changed, lightning storms appeared right above him and an invisible electric field spread all around his making his electric type moves even stronger. Electivireughed as he looked at Infernape pushing around Giratina. His thought right now was, ''Wait for me, I am about to join in the fun as well'' Julian didn''t say anything and got on top of Pidgeot and told Gengar to follow behind, for the rest of them, he put them back in their pokeballs and flew up, he needed them forter when he has fully cornered Giratina for good. Chapter 532 - Infernapes Near Defeat With his speed to the max, Infernape kept on pushing Giratina towards the south of Sinnoh where the ocean is at, but even with all these attacks Giratina has not taken any severe damage at all, instead, it is growing even stronger as its rage is growing constantly, every attack that is being released by Giratina is meant to kill Infernape but his speed is not something one can catch up with. Even though Infernape ising out of it unharmed the surrounding is being destroyed by Giratina. ?? The vegetations havepletely been destroyed and some of them withered just because they were exposed to its aura, the pokemons that had already taken shelter underground were really scared because of the devastating fight going outside. Infernape tried his hardest to be airborne for most of the time so that all on Giratina''s attacks don''t hit the ground. He alsobined his different type of moves into one to pressure Giratina more, bu using Close Combat with Fire Punch and ze Kick increased the power of the moves and the fighting moves also started to hit harder. With Infernape''s foresight at work, even a ghost type would be hit by a fighting type move. the barrage of Close Combat with Fire Punch and ze kick is really sessful, Giratina is being pushed back and it has taken a little damage during all these exchanges but this amount of damage is nothing to it. Its healing is faster than the amount of damage Infernape is being able to inflict on it, Infernape is in a pinch right now, he is overdoing himself and is getting tired quickly with all the work he is doing alone,pared to the giant Giratina he is just a tiny monkey who is just 2 meters tall. But he is sessful enough to get Giratina far away from Mt. Cor and into the jungles that will and if they follow this path they will reach the ocean as soon as possible. While Infernape is getting tired he hasn''t given up, every hit hends is bing more and more powerful, he hasn''t had a physical battle for a very long time and this is the time for him to make a breakthrough if he is able to defeat Giratina. As Infernape''s fighting power increases by every second his moves be sloppy as he is getting exhausted right now, he is not being fueled by Omniforce to have unlimited stamina. Seeing that its opponent is getting tired and sloppy Giratina decided to go all out and retaliate, it sts a powerful Dragon Pulse at Infernape but before the Dragon Pulse could hit Infernape it gets countered by a purple lightning bolt that descended from the sky. Giratina finally realizes that there are more opponents that it had ignored, it looked up in the sky and saw a pokemon surrounded by purple lightning as if this pokemon is the god of lightning, the purple lightning around him seems to listen to everything hemands just like a lightning God. Right beside the electric pokemon, Giratina sees a human riding a Pidgeot, Giratina could sense a familiar aura around this human and it hated this aura. Giratina got angry and charged towards Julian using Shadow Force and it shifted back to its Origin form, but before it could get even closer to Julian it got struck by a massive bolt of lightning which caused the Giratina to crashnd on the ground, it roared as the wounds that Infernape had inflicted on it started to sting as lightning struck them hard. But it didn''t mean that Giratina is down, it just shook off the pain and sted a powerful Hyper Beam at Electivire while Electivire countered with Thunder that came crashing down the sky. Julian used this distraction and made Pidgeot fly towards Infernape and picked him up, he checked Infernape and noticed that he hasn''t taken any serious damage, he is just low on stamina and power. Julian "I knew you will overdo it, here eat this" He said and gave some berries to Infernape, Infernape gobbled them down and closed his eyes and started to meditate so that he can get back to full energy. As he rested for a while the battle between Electivire and Giratina seems to be very intense, they both st attacks at each other one after the other but no one ising on top, here Giratina is indeed a lot stronger than Electivire but Electivire has a higher Special Attack than Giratina making them equal in exchanges of Special Attacks. But this is just the beginning of the fight, as Giratina got pushed back more towards the ocean its rage built up even more and the chaos in its body started to grow as it absorbed the life out of every living nts in the vicinity, seeing that his opponent is only getting stronger Electivire decided that it is time for his secret weapon toe out and deal with Giratina. There was always a healthypetition between Infernape and his friends and everyone wanted to defeat Infernape in something, if Electivire can seed in taking down this Giratina, hook or by crook he will be able to brag about it in front of Infernape''s face. Electivire grinned and looked at Giratina who is his current target. Chapter 533 - Defeat? Electivire wants to take down this Giratina before Infernape could step in again and he is about to use his ultimate weapon and he uses it. Suddenly dark chainse out rushing out of the shadows on the ground and wrap around Giratina tightly, Giratina got startled as it noticed these chains wrapping around it, it''s legs and wings were immobilized as it went crashing down on the ground once again. ?? This is Electivire''s secret weapon and it is Gengar''s help, they are partners in crime, anything they are about to do they do it together and this time they decided to take down Giratina before Infernape could. They were always annoyed by how Infernape would always win even if they went all out in everything but they would still lose but this time they don''t want it to happen again. Giratina struggled to get out of the chains but it was very hard, as it is weak to Ghost-type moves the chains are much durable for itpared to the other members of the trio. Seeing his chance Electivire started to prepare for his big move, lightning crackled above him as the dark clouds started to spin as a huge amount of energy was starting to emit out of them, right in the middle of the cloud a massive ball of lightning is being formed. Giratina who is right under the ball struggles to get out of the chains and is sessfully breaking away from them that were around its wings, it tries to fly away but the chains wrapped around its legs are still holding it on the spot. Soon more chainse out of the shadows trying to pin down Giratina but this time Giratina is not letting this to happen again, it sted a Dragon Pulse as the chains and destroyed them, it then aimed a Dragon Pulse right at the chains which are wrapped around its legs but before the Dragon Pulse could touch them, numerous high-speed Shadow Balls collided with the Dragon Pulse and destroyed them. Giratina got pissed and looked at the shadows to find the culprit and it finally found Gengar who is looking at it with a big grin on his face, Seeing that Giratina noticed him Gengar is surprised but what happened next caused him to run, Giratina suddenly shot a powerful Shadow Ball at Gengar, Gengar noticed something was off about this Shadow Ball. He felt danger from it even though he is inside his shadow dimension, he moved away from his positions and saw the Shadow Ball entering his dimension without any resistance, the Shadow Ball went and hit all his prisoners, one of them was the priest who mutated Hydreigon. Before the Shadow Ball hit the priest he was in very bad shape, even though he looked like he was about to die, Gengar didn''t let that happen ever. Every day was mental torture for the priest and the members of the cult inside Gengar''s shadow dimension, he would make them see their worst sins over and over again in their dreams making them regret ever doing the things they did. It was like hell to them and now their time in this hell is over, as the Shadow Ball touched them, their souls were disintegrated into nothingness as they screamed onest time before dying for real. Soon their body turnedpletely white and started to dpose at a rapid phase, soon they turned into ashes and disappeared from Gengar''s Shadow Dimension. Seeing this Gengar is shocked, this is the first time he felt Ghost energy that was so overwhelming, he saw what true Ghost energy could do with his own eyes, he also realized that even though he so strong he is not even close to controlling the amount of power that Giratina just disyed. Its understanding of Ghost energy was way beyond Gengar''s reach. Gengar realized that he needs to breakthrough. Outside his dimension, Giratina was able to break down the chains that were wrapped around its legs by hitting them with a Dragon Pulse, but as soon as its legs were free it felt dangering down from the sky. A gigantic ball of purple lightning that had a diameter of 30 meters, this Electric Ball is filled with destructive energy, once it touches anything it will get zapped and burned to crisp. Seeing that there is no chance of escaping the Electric Ball Giratina roared and covered itself with ghostly energy and used Shadow Force and went straight towards the Electric Ball for a head to head collision. Shadow Force is a very powerful move and with the increasing power of Giratina, the move is getting stronger and stronger. Giratina finally shed with the Electric Ball and everything went chaotic once it happened, the gigantic lightning ball burst into a huge explosion while Giratina was right in the middle of it, it looks like Giratina came out on top once again but it is paralyzed due to the huge amount of electricity running through its body. Julian frowned seeing this, he could tell that Giratina is getting stronger as time passes, he didn''t know why this is happening, during his battle with Dialga and Palkia nothing like this happened. Julian ''System, why is its power increasing as time passes?'' System ''The most likely reason is that the chaos substance that Giratina has taken inside its body is not fully processed and absorbed yet'' As he heard the answer Julian knew this battle is a lot harder than hi thought, the substance that Cyrus made from using the energy extracted from Uxie seems to be more potent than he expected, seeing how unstable the energy is Julian is certain that it was the one first made before they progressed with the blue one that he has. Uxie is created by Arceus so its energy is the purest energy one could find in this world, he is not surprised by how it can power up this Giratina to such extent. Julian ''I have to hurry up and push it backward'' He thought and pulled out a Pokeball from his pouch and tossed it down Chapter 534 - Mega Evolutions Giratina is paralyzed and hurt a little from that gigantic lightning ball, but it''s not down, this level of injury is nothing to a pokemon at Giratina''s level. Julian is in a dilemma, even his Electivire''s strongest move while he is Mega Evolved is not able to cause serious damage to it, this showed how powerful this Giratina really is. ?? Now that Julian knows what he is really up against, he decided to take serious action, as he threw the Pokeball down below, the Pokeball opened up and Heatran came out of it and looked at the Giratina who is currently paralyzed. Julian "Heatran, Magma Storm" Heatran roared and mmed his legs on the groundpletely splitting them into two, suddenly magma rushed out of the splits made in the ground, the magma then started to circle around Heatran at an extreme speed reaching speed over 500 miles per hour. even the surrounding air got sucked in by the Magma Storm creating an even bigger firestorm containing very hot magma. The rise in temperature is obvious and Giratina noticed the attacking towards it but it cannot do anything as it''s still paralyzed on the spot. The electricity in its body is still active and its body has be sore, it will need some time to recover. Heatran''s Magma Storm is his strongest and most destructive attack, it can cause mass destruction to massive cities so just one target is nothing in front of a whole city. Due to the fast winds surrounding the Magma Storm its speed kept on increasing reaching over 700 miles per hour, Giratina started to get pulled inside the Magma Storm as it watched helplessly but it still has something up its sleeve, it changed back to its Altered from which rises its Defense and Special Defense. Giratina then got sucked into the gigantic Magma Storm whose height is over 2000 meters tall and 500 meters wide on the top. Giratina just got tossed inside this fire tornado like a rag doll and got pushed away deeper into the south of Sinnoh where the ocean is at. The magma tornado didn''t stop for anything, it crushed everything in its path and continued for hundreds of kilometers before finally stopping as it lost its power. Giratina which is inside the tornado fell on the ground, it is injured but as it changed its form it didn''t show any sign of serious injury even though it was trapped inside the firestorm for such a long time. Yes, it is resistant to fire type attacks but this was beyond Julian''s imagination, he thought that it should have caused some serious damage to Giratina but its Defense is much stronger than he thought. Julian ''Did something change?'' He asked his system. System ''Giratina''s power has increased further, it must have continued absorbing the chaotic substance inside its body'' It gave him the answer he didn''t want to hear, just as he expected this Giratina is getting stronger and stronger as time passes but he cannot give up now, he looks at Infernape and notices some changes in Infernape, it looks like he has gone into some kind of zen state. Julian ''Is he about to make a breakthrough?'' System ''Possibility of Infernape breakthrough is 40%'' Julian is surprised by this. Julian ''That''s quite high, I cannot disturb him right now, the others need to keep doing what they are up to'' He thought and looked at Electivire and Gengar, they need to work together and pressure Giratina even more. Julian looked at the keystone on his neck and decided to give it a try. Julian ''It won''t hurt, I just need to give it enough energy so that it can channel it into another Mega Stone'' He thought and grabbed onto the Keystone and slowly inserted Omniforce inside it, he didn''t want to overload it and cause it to explode, the Omniforce went in the Keystone started to glow. Julian "Gengar get ready, Mega Evolve" The Keystone started to glow brighter than ever as the light being released from it traveled towards Gengar''s Mega Stone. some energy even traveled towards Mega Electivire as it increased his power, Julian didn''t expect this result but he is d, there seems to be no change in Electivire''s appearance but his strength and speed did increase. Gengar started to transform as well as his dark skin turnedpletely white, but his height seems to have decreased a little but it didn''t seem to be a disadvantage, his speed, and strength increased by a lot, his head became wider while his body became thinner, he lost his legs but he gained spikes behind his back and on top and over his head. He seems to have also gained a third eye right in the middle of his forehead, his lower body has a light pinkish-purple color, his red eyes have be grey but his iconic grin hasn''t changed at all. Julian constantly provided Omniforce into the Keystone as he absorbed it from the surrounding so that he doesn''t run out of it, he can continue this for hours as his body has a lot of Omniforce stored inside it. This was not possible before, attaining two Mega Evolution was very hard but Julian''s control over Omniforce has increased by a lot so now having multiple Mega Evolution is not hard. Chapter 535 - Getting Beat Up? Now that Gengar and Electivire are more powerful they start to st powerful attacks at Giratina and Giratina tried to counter them with its own. Both sides have grown a lot stronger but Giratina still seems to have an edge as its Stamina doesn''t seem to end at all, but Julian is continuously providing energy into his Keystone which is transferring its energy to the Mega Stones of Electivire and Gengar providing them constant energy to carry on the fight. ?? As they are faster than their opponent they are able to drag this fight for a very long time but they cannot afford to get hit even once, this is something very hard to do but Electivire and Gengar have a lot of experience and they have battled together a lot so they know what the other is thinking so they can team up easily on Giratina increasing their chances of damaging Giratina. Giratina is just getting more frustrated as it gets attacked over and over again by these two pokemons, but none of their attacks are causing any severe damage but they still sting. As time passes Giratina''s power keeps on increasing and it''s getting harder and harder for Electivire and Gengar to hold up, Giratina''s attacks seem to be more destructive than ever as its aura keeps on contaminating the surrounding area. Julian could tell things are not going well, Infernape is still in a zen-like state where he is one with his consciousness as he is trying to make a breakthrough in his power. Julian ''What is Infernape''s state?'' System ''Chance of breakthrough has increased to 60%'' Hearing this Julian knew he has to drag this for much longer so he had to rely on Gengar and Electivire and let them push Giratina to the ocean, there is still a lot of distance for them to cover, Giratina is too big and their attack cannot push it too far from just one hit. He relied on Electivire and Gengar to pin Giratina on a spot and send out Heatran to st it with a Magma Storm, this is the best way he can push Giratina faster into the ocean side, as Giratina get flung away by the storm, Julian calls Heatran back to his Pokeball and let him rest so he canunch another full power Magma Storm. And this continued for a while before disaster rued, Giratina finallynded a powerful Dragon Pulse on Electivire while he was charging up for a Lightning ball, Gengar was trying to distract but Giratinapletely ignored Gengar and targeted the vulnerable Electivire, Electivire got hit hard and he started to fall down. Seeing this Julian felt frustrated but he cannot act up right now, he needs to stay calm and let Electivire handle this on his own, seeing his friend getting struck down from the sky Gengar moved fast and helped himnd on the ground safely. Giratina attacked them once again with a Dragon Pulse when theynd on the ground but they dodged it, Electivire is holding onto his left arm as he used it to block the Dragon Pulse that was aimed at his head. Electivire roared angrily as floated back to the sky as lightning sparked around him, he then started to send bolts after bolts of massive lightning strikes at Giratina, it got hit over and over again, causing a lot of destruction. Giratina got pushed back. Before Electivire was just ying and being cautious of Giratina as Julian said him to do so but that is not his fighting style, he is an aggressive attacker and he is really pissed right now. Julian didn''t say anything and let Electivire do what he is doing, sometimes it better for his pokemon to act on their own as they know their body and power more than anyone else. Due to Electivire''s aggressiveness, his attacks were much powerful, he started to exchange moves after moves with Giratina with Gengar''s powerbined but even after that, they are not able to win. Giratina just keeps countering them with powerful attacks one after the other. Both Gengar and Electivire are frustrated now, but for some reason, they are also excited, this is the first them they have been pushed behind like this, they are on their own as Julian is looking after Infernape. Things are going bad but they are going all out, their exchanges is destroying everything in their path, shockwaves after shockwaves, even the air now has the taste of burned ashes in it. As the battle continues Giratina gets even stronger and now even Mega Gengar and Mega Electivire are having a hard time fighting back their moves are having little effect on it while they are struggling to avoid the big hits from Giratina. Even Julian knows that Electivire and Gengar are in a bad spot so he sends out Venusaur and Heatran to battle Giratina while they are still so they can provide little support, he is saving Snox forter as he will go all out at the ocean. As he was losing hope he suddenly noticed something and Julian''s heart started to beat rapidly, he didn''t expect this unexpected helper toe right now. Chapter 536 - A Surprise Guest Julian is surprised by this surprise visit from an old friend, as Julian was thinking of a way to help Gengar and Electivire he noticed something underground, Julian''s heart started to beat faster as he looked at the ground. Suddenly the ground started to shake as a massive earthquake took everyone by surprise, suddenly massive earth spikes came rushing out of the ground and hit Giratina right under its belly and sent it crashing into the ground and roared in pain. ?? These spikes are over 10 meters long and had a lot of power behind them, even Julian is shocked by how powerful they were. Electivire, Gengar and Heatran are surprised by this sudden change in the battlefield, Giratina got back to its feet and looked at the ground and roared angrily and to counter it another roar came from the underground, suddenly the ground started to split andva erupted out of the cracked and spread around the area, suddenly a massive head popped out of the huge split on the ground, it''s red in color with des like armor on top of its head. This pokemon roared and climbed out of the pit, it stands 18 meters tall and it hasva flowing around the crevasses of its body. It is Groudon but in his Primal Form. Julian knows this one, its the Groudon he faced back in Hoenn and caught it in an Ultra Ball and released it afterward so that it can live freely. Julian ''Looks like it became more powerful and got its true strength back'' He thought and looked at Primal Groudon. Primal Groudon is the original Groudon, when it was created it was in its Primal form but it lost its power and became weak but now Groudon has gained back its strength and hase here out of nowhere to help Julian. Technically Groudon is Julian''s pokemon as he caught it but he never trained it, Julian let him free as such powerful beings should be free and walk around the world that they created. Primal Groudon looked up and Julian and roared at him, it was as if it''s saying thanks to him, Julian didn''t understand why but he will not let go of this opportunity, in his previous fight with Groudon its Defense was ridiculous and it packed a very powerful attack. After it turned into its Primal form it got harder to take them on, Julian had to let Groudon and Kyogre battle it off, that is also when Infernape first achieved his Omniform and brought both of them down. Julian looked at Primal Groudon and he could easily tell that this Groudon is much stronger than the one he faced in Hoenn, during its rampage in Hoenn it achieved Primal Reversion through the use of the Red Orb and it doesn''t seem to be its real power at all. Now it is at its full power, the real monster that created thends and fought Primal Kyogre for generations after generations. Julian looked at Primal Groudon and noticed something different, its eyes were filled with seriousness and a strong will to defeat Giratina as if it wanted to protect something. Julian ''Of course, it sensed Giratina''s appearance in this world, it cannot just allow some pokemon toe and destroy its creation'' He thought and got excited to see what Groudon is going to do against Giratina. Giratina roared and charged at Groudon using Shadow Force and Primal Groudon locked onto the ground to sh with it. Julian told his pokemons to rest while Groudon handles this, Electivire, Gengar, and Heatran backed away to rest a little and watch how powerful Groudon has really gotten. Theva around Groudon''s body started to glow and circte around its body as it charged up for a powerful attack, a massive ball of energy got created in front of its mouth as it waited for Giratina to get closer. Massive explosions seem to be happening inside Groudon''s body as its attack''s power kept on increasing, this is Groudon''s signature move, Eruption. The more stamina Groudon has the more powerful the move is if it gets tired and hurt the attack power of this move weakens but right now it is at full strength. Groudon sts the bright yellowish-orange beam at Giratina which ising towards it at incredible speed, the Shadows around it seems to be screaming as they tried to rip through the Eruption that Groudon justunched. Both attack finally shed, at first Eruption seem to be effective as it pushed Giratina back a little but it suddenly roared and the strength behind the attack increased by a lot and it tore straight through the Eruption as the Shadow Force assaulted Groudon and sent it crashing into the ground, as Groudon fell the ground around it started to melt and trees started to burn but it is not of concern at all. Anynd Groudon creates or changes be highly nutritious after it dries down. It is clear that even the Primal Groudon cannot do go head to head against this Giratina. Julian just watches from the side as he knows that this battle is not over, just like this Giratina, Primal Groudon''s Defense is very high, it should be able to take more than 10 to 20 hits from Giratina''s Shadow Force before getting knocked outpletely. Julian knows that this Groudon is a lot stronger than before, it has more firepower and higher defense, even Infernape in his Omniform will not be able to take it down with one hit like thest time. He looked at Infernape and noticed he is still in his zen state. Julian ''Infernape''s current status?'' System ''Possibility of achieving breakthrough rose to 80%'' Hearing this Julian got excited, just 20% and it should be enough but he also knows that thisst 20% will be the hardest, he might not be able to make a breakthrough even if he reaches 99%. He just had to wait and let Groudon handle this. Chapter 537 - Angered Giratina Primal Groudon got back to its feet and mmed the ground with its leg as huge spikes came rushing out of the ground and hit Giratina and sent it tumbling back as well, both of them started to exchange one move after the other, both are inflicting a lot of damage to each other but Giratina is still the winner. It is putting constant pressure on Groudon and attacking it with Special Attacks like Shadow Ball, Dragon Pulse, and other moves. ?? While Groudon is holding itself very well and has dealt more damage to Giratina than even Electivire and Gengar it also has received a lot of damage. Julian ''System what moves does Groudon knows?'' System ''Groudon''s move sets - Protect, Earth Power, Lava Plume, Earthquake, Sr Beam, Fire st, Hammer Arm, Eruption, Dragon Pulse, Iron Tail, Precipice des'' Julian ''What is Precipice des?'' System ''Groudon''s signature move, it attacks its opponent with highlypressed des from below, each de can inflict serious damage to the opponent, this move is very useful in multi battles against multiple opponents'' Looking at Groudon''s moveset Julian quickly came up with few strategies and decided to step in Julian "Groudon, use Fire st" Julian decided to step in, if he continues watching this slow destructive ''I hit you hit battle'' this will take forever for them to finish this. It is better for Julian to step in and take control over it, while Infernape is increasing his chances of breakthrough Julian decided to take this on his own hands, he has had enough, a pokemon like Primal Groudon should be enough for him to stall this battle for much longer and even push it further, hearing Julian Primal Groudon stares at him before deciding to go with it as Julian is the only one who has ever defeated it and caught it before releasing it to the wild. From then Groudon went to the core of the earth to gain back its lost powers, the Red orb had be a liability that it didn''t want to use so for it to truly be strong it had to gain back its true form for permanent then start growing even stronger. Listening to Julian Groudon sent a devastating Fire st at Giratina, this Fire st caused the air to dry up in a second as the temperature rose up at extreme speed, the Fire st continued towards Giratina as it countered it by sending a Shadow Ball at it. The two attacks collided and caused a huge st blocking everyone''s vision. Julian "Now Precipice des" Hearing Julian Groudon roared as its body started to glow brightly, suddenly numerous glowing dots appeared right below Giratina as they emitted highlypressed energy in them. Sensing the danger, Giratinaunched itself above from the ground and tried to fly away but its reaction was toote, sharp des came rushing out of those glowing holes, the tip of these des contained all thepressed vtile energy which hit Giratina hard, as all the energy was concentrated at a single small point it delivered very painful and powerful hit and this type of attacknded several times on Giratina. Giratina roared in pain and came crashing down on the ground, the attack seems to have some effect on it, it was just like multiple arrows hitting its belly at the same time, luckily its Defense is a lot high or this should be a sure kill move, it could easily puncture an opponent''s body and hit their vital organs. Angered, Giratina shot an Aura Sphere at Groudon at extreme speed, since there is no way to dodge this the only option is to deflect it. Julian "Use Protect" Groudon created a massive barrier in front of it and the Aura Spherended on the Protect and got destroyed but it left enough damage behind for the Protect to crack all over its surface before finally shattering into pieces as it couldn''t hold its shape. Julian "Now use Earth Power" Groudon roared and suddenly the ground below Giratina split again and a yellow energy beam came rushing out of it and hit Giratina sending it flying backward. The thing about chaotic and berserk pokemon is that they can be easily yed around by someone like Julian, he could see that Giratina can only move at high speed while it is in Origin Form while its attack is high but it is currently in its Altered form meaning it''s slow right now with its high defense. Primal Groudon has a lot of attacks built for taking down slow pokemons, many of them are ground type attacks that are very destructive. Seeing Giratina getting flung away Julian saw his chance and gave Groudon its nextmand. Julian "Use your ability" Hearing him Groudon roared and released powerful energy from its body that went directly to the sky which is covered by dark clouds. Suddenly the dark clouds disappeared very harsh sunlight came down. Julian "Sr Beam" With the harsh sunlight, it didn''t take even a second for Groudon to charge up a powerful Sr Beam and shot it at Giratina. Giratina tried to counter but it is a little too slow to react, the Sr Beam already reached it and smashed right onto its face at full power and sent it flying backward. The distance it covered from just this single move is devastating, Giratina didn''t stop flying for miles before finally crashed hard on the ground. Julian thought this should be enough to put Giratina on hold but he was wrong, Giratina suddenly roared very loudly, this roar is even louder than the one which shook the whole Sinnoh, this roar traveled acrossnds and reached other regions as well. The people were scared out of their minds when they head this, the aura around Giratina started to get very chaotic and the matter around it started to get unstable, it was as if space is being ripped apart. Julian''s eyes constricted as he felt the dangering from Giratina right now, its power increased once again. Julian "Shit". Chapter 538 - An Immovable Object The change in Giratina''s expression is obvious, it is going full berserk now, and a totally berserk pokemon is really hard to handle even if Julian is the one facing it as they are unpredictable, they might change their target whenever they want, however they want. Having an unpredictable opponent is more dangerous than anything, they can just abandon the fight and go on a rampage to destroy any cities or viges nearby. ?? Julian "Groudon, move fast we need to stop it" Hearing Julian Groudon started to move, even though its movement seemed slow it is covering huge distance with its legs, luckily for them, the Giratina didn''t go on a massive rampage but decided to attack them which turned out way worse than Julian had expected. Giratina suddenly changed into its Origin form and charged at Groudon using Shadow Force, Julian asked Groudon to counter it with Eruption but to his surprise, Giratina tore right through the attack and hit Groudon on the chest with its closed pointy mandibles then the Shadow Force smacked Groudon and knocked him right of his legs and sent him flying, to send a pokemon that ways over 150 tons flying like that is ridiculous to even Julian. But he cannot give up right now, he can see the ocean right in front of him and its time to bring out the big gun. Julian told Heatran, Electivire, and Gengar to attack Giratina once again while Groudon recovered from that attack, they didn''t waste time and charged at Giratina with all their power but Giratina just blew them away with just the shock wave from one powerful Dragon Pulse that was aimed at the ground. Seeing a huge power boost Giratina got from just going berserk Julian started to get worried, to send his top-level pokemons flying like that is no joke, he looked at Infernape and saw he is still busy, who would have thought that Infernape would go into zen state in such a crucial time, his Omni form is the only way he can possibly stop Giratina. Luckily for him Groudon got back to its feet again, Julian saw cracks in Groudon''s front armor which shocked him, even Infernape was able to deal so much damage when he fought Groudon. Groudon roared and released bright moltenva from its body which surrounded the ground around it andpletely fixed it, the crack that was on it chest closed up and went back to normal, Groudon is pissed and it mmed its leg on the ground and used Precipice des again, highlypressed energy des came shooting out of the ground and hit Giratina sending it flying but Groudon didn''t stop there it then used Sr Beam while Giratina is still in air and pushed it backward at extreme speed. Julian saw Giratina being sent flying towards the ocean and knew it was time for the big gun, he took out his Pokeball and told Pidgeot to rush towards Giratina, it only took few seconds for Pidgeot to catch up to Giratina which just crashed near the beach but it still doesn''t have any serious damage on its body. It can still get up on its leg and try to attack Pidgeot who is carrying both Julian and Infernape, Giratina shoots a Dragon Pulse at Pidgeot but he dodges it easily and sts Air Cutters at Giratina, Giratina takes the hit and deflects it easily. He then tosses the Pokeball in his hand down to the ground and Snoxes out of it, he seems to be fully awake right now as he noticed he is falling down, Snox crashes into the ground and creates a huge crater on the ground, Snox is confused as to what happened, he looks around and finds himself inside a huge pit, suddenly a Dragon Pulse is shot at him but he just looks at it as annoyance, the Dragon Pulsends and covers the whole area with smoke. As the smoke clears up Giratina notices something weird, the pokemon that it just hit is still standing there with no damage taken while yawning and scratching its belly. Julian''s Snox can im to be the God of Defense and no one will question him, his Defense has risen so high that even Julian thinks that its ridiculous, his attack and Special Attack are indeed great butpared to his Defense and Special Defense its nothing. Snox is Julian''s ultimate tank, he can ditch out serious hits but his main purpose is to take a hit and scratch it off as if nothing happened at all. At first, when Julian noticed this in Snox even he was confused, he didn''t train Snox to train in Defense at all but his Defense kept rising for no reason, so when he asked the System about it he got the answer. It''s because of Snox''s habit, after eating tons of food that is filled with nutrition and protein for growth and a little bit of Omniforce in them, they are top quality food for anyone but Snox used the energy inside his food differently, since he doesn''t like being disturbed during his sleep he unconsciously started to rise his Defense while he is asleep, Snox couldn''t be woken up by loud sounds but someone could still wake him up by powerful attacks so Snox unconsciously started to build up his Defense so no one could wake him up while he is sleeping. Julian thought this was ridiculous but he didn''t mind it, an immovable object in his team is just the thing he needs during a situation like this. Chapter 539 - Panic Everywhere Giratina is surprised by this neer, the attack which is used is able to st off even Primal Groudon but it didn''t even put a scratch on this big fat pokemon and on top of that it doesn''t even seem interested in Giratina. Julian looks like Snox and sighed, but even he didn''t expect this, he thought Giratina might cause some little damage to Snox but looking now he realized that Snox''s Defense has be such high that it won''t even matter if hundreds of nuclear bombs were dropped on top of him, he would just scratch it off and continue sleeping. ?? Giratina roared and sted another Dragon Pulse at Snox as it thought it missed the first time as it couldn''t exin how this Snox came out unscathed, the Dragon Pulse seemed even more powerful than the previous time, as the attack hit Snox a huge explosion rued, the explosion''s height reach over 50 meters up to the sky as smoke covered everyone''s vision. As the smoke cleared up Giratina found Snox just standing there looked confused as it scratched its belly. Snox has no idea what is happening right now, he was sleeping before and has no idea that he attacked Giratina before with a Hyper Beam, as Julian sent him out of the Pokeball in air he could tell he is falling down and finally woke up as he couldn''t find any stable ce underneath him, as hended on the ground he woke up and suddenly got attacked by these Dragon Pulse which felt like tiny mosquito bites. Giratina gets irritated as it sees Snoxing out of it unscathed again, it then covered its body with Shadow energy and used Shadow Force to attack Snox again, this time it decided to go all out and destroy its opponent, if Giratina would have used this much energy when facing Groudon it could have easily knocked out Groudon for good in one hit. Giratina''s aura started to affect its surroundings as even the grains of sand in the beach started to turn ck, the water started to turn ck as any signs of life around the ck area disappeared and any pokemons that were near the affected water ran away as they sensed danger. Giratina then charged at Snox with full power using Shadow Force, it traveled the distance under a second leaving shock waves behind it and hit Snox pushing him back. Snox is surprised by this sudden attack so he uses his hands and suddenly grabs Giratina''s head and tried to stop it from pushing him. Snox got pushed back as Giratina''s sharp mandibles tried to pierce through his thick hide but it was all useless, Giratina''s momentum died right after Snox grabbed its head and stopped it, it was not over there as the Shadows around Giratina''s body assaulted Snox but it still had no effect on him. He pushed Giratina''s head on the ground and scratched the part of the belly which Giratina just tried to pierce. Giratina is shocked by this and decided to st a powerful Hyper Beam at close range, seeing this pokemon is trying to attack again Snox got annoyed. He doesn''t like to cause trouble, his only dream is to sleep and dream about sleeping and eating, he didn''t understand why this big yellow pokemon is trying to pick a fight with him, seeing there is no other option but to fight back, Snox also charged up a Hyper Beam and shot it at Giratina who is right next to him, both Hyper Beams shed with each other at point-nk range creasing a huge st. The st engulfed everything around 8 km, seeing the amount of destruction this exchange can cause Julian suddenly spread his Omniforce around like a dome with an opening on the top so all the energy could be realized towards the sky. The st easily covered 8 km of ground destroying everything in its path, as the st hit the barrier created by Julian it gotpressed and released towards the opening on the top, the st then rose towards the sky and escaped into space as it destroyed the asteroids around the and turned them into ashes. Everyone around the world saw the massive beam that went up towards space, the world already knew something is happening in Sinnoh but none dared to approach the area as it became a cmity zone, right outside the cmity zone news channels from several regions and other countries came to report about it. When they saw the massive st beam going up the sky while the sound from it caused everyone to cover their ears so they don''t go deaf, they all started to panic and report about the cmity that might fall on this world of theirs, most of them could tell that even the strongest bombs that humans have created cannote even closer to the effect that st beam just had. Everyone started to question what is happening in Sinnoh but no one knew the answer, everyone relied on Cynthia for the answer but even she didn''t have it, Julian didn''t tell her what the disaster was but she suspected one of the creation trios as they were all connected in Cyrus''s ns. But Cynthia didn''t mention it to the public as the news about one of the creation trio trying to destroy their world would be too much for the people of this world. She just told them that a special person is handling this situation right now, this of course caused the inte to go crazy as they started toe up with theories about the crises and this special person who is handling this cmity. Soon people started to say that the world ising to an end and violence broke out everywhere, people started to everything in fear of the world ending, as they thought it will be thest day on this world, thew ced by the government didn''t matter at all. But to everyone''s surprise, Sinnoh was the most peaceful region out of all due to Cynthia and to help here where the Elite Four of the region, even Ash and his friend showed up to help her maintain peace everywhere. The other regions which were m were Gr and Kanto as they have powerful champions backing them up. Then the name of the legendary trainer started to be thrown everywhere on the inte as people thought that he is the only one capable of handling the cmity, many believed that this legendary trainer is Julian himself but none of them had any proof to im this rumor as truth. Some believed the rumor and some didn''t but right now it didn''t matter, the current concern is about world safety as every country and region are preparing for the worse. If Sinnoh survives the world survives and if it doesn''t, none will. Chapter 540 - Laziness Is Happiness While the world outside the cmity zone is having a huge panic, inside the cmity area, Giratina is having the shock of its life, as they both exchanged powerful Hyper Beams both of them were blown away by the huge impact created by the explosion that came after. Giratina got hurt by that and was thrown into the ocean''s water while Snox was thrown to the forest area, while Giratina got hurt Snox came out of it with no damage done to him, just leaves stuck on his lips which he licked it off with his tongue and ate it. ?? There is dirt all over his body which he tried to dust off but it was harder than he thought which irritated him a lot and hepletely ignored his opponent and focused on removing the dirt from his belly and the gap between his toes. Julian looked at Snox and sighed, only he could act such carefree while the world''s safety depended on him, he looked at the huge 8 km destroyed beach which started to get filled with the ocean''s water as there is a huge crater there now. an 8 km water body in diameter, people wouldn''t believe it until they see it by their own eyes. While Giratina is staring angrily at Snox and Snox is busy wiping the dirt off his body, Julian is looking at the huge water body that has just formed, the problem right now is that Snox cannot fight Giratina on water and if wants Snox to battle it, he would have to go back to the maind. Thinking what should he do right now, his answer came right towards him walking on its own two feet, Primal Groudon, it finally caught up. Julian "Great, Groudon created a hardnd across this water body" Hearing Julian Groudon roared and started to create magma out of nowhere, the magma collected below its feet as it started to walk, as Groudon started to walk forward the ground behind him got created, this ground is hard as the strongest material on this and as this molten magma came in contact with the water below it cooled down very fast and hardened which made it easier to walk on and with Snox''s defense it is nothing but huge bowl of food for him. After cleaning of the dirtpletely from his belly and between his toes Snox looked around as he forgot what he was really doing, he looked around and saw this huge water body and a familiar face walking across it as it creatednd behind it. Snox looked at Groudon and remembered that he once fought this giant, then he suddenly remembered that he just exchanged a move with another giant who was hell-bent on attacking him, he looked around to find the one who caused his fur to get dirty, Julian works hard to keep all of his pokemons clean and tidy so Snox got angry because Giratina will be the reason for Julian to work hard again. His anger boosted and he started to run on top of the new ground created by Groudon, as he ran his belly-flopped up and down but his speed was incredible, Giratina noticed Snox rushing towards it, this is the first time Snox decided to make an attack so Giratina has no reason to hold back. It consumed the chaos inside its body and increased its power and rushed towards Snox using Shadow Force, while Groudon was creating this hugend bridge it noticed the sudden rise of powerful aura both in front and the back, it stopped and quickly retreated to the side by creating a separate path, it saw a very fat pokemon running towards Giratina while its belly-flopped up and down but it was surprised by the speed this big fat pokemon is running at. Groudon remembered this big bloke, it is one of Julian''s pokemon it had trouble dealing with and now looking at it Groudon realized that this fat bloke has grown even stronger, it watched as Snox crushed the ground it created with every step he took, thend bridge which Giratina created by using a lot of special magma so that it won''t break easily started to break down right behind Snox''s heavy and fast footsteps. Energy simr to Hyper Beam started to form around Snox but this is not Hyper Beam, this is Giga Impact, Snox''s strongest move as he is a Physical hitter. Snox''s speed increased even further as the energy took over his body, thend bridge that Groudon created turned into rubles as soon as Snox used Giga Impact. Seeing this Julian''s mouth is agape, he could tell that Snox is mad but he didn''t know why, well he at least knows that Snox won''t mind being attacked at all, for him to get angry Giratina must have done something very bad. In Snox''s mind, bad equals to Julian working hard, in Snox''s world the ultimate happiness is beingzy so he expects Julian to lead azy and happy life as well, as Giratina made his fur dirty now Julian has to clean him up which will lead to Julian working and not beingzy and live happily. If Julian knew what Snox is thinking he wouldugh till he goes out of breath and dies. Giratina also sensed the change in Snox''s attitude and increased its speed to double the damage of its moves, as they were just meters away Snox jumped at Giratina using a full power Giga Impact, his strongest move. What wille after this Julian already knows so he already created a new barrier over the old one and this time much thicker. Chapter 541 - What A Monster Both Pokemon used their ultimate move and as they shed everything changed, Groudon suddenly used Protect and created a massive barrier in front of it to protect it from the chaos that is about to ur. Both of them finally shed with each other and as they did everything turned white blinding everything inside the barrier Julian made, the barrier he made started to crack from the pressure that these two attacks created, luckily they escaped from the top under a second, then came the horrifying thunderous sound that shook all of Sinnoh and the surrounding regions, it even caused an earthquake that shook the area around Mt. Cor, cities like Eterna city, Celestic city, Sceon City, Hearthome city, Pastoria City, Oreburgh city and many more. ?? The white beam tore through the air and disappeared into the space melting everything in its path. The sound that came from this sh once again scared everyone in Sinnoh and the other regions. As Julian tried to reinforce the barrier he suddenly noticed something, Giratina got sent flying away after that exchange, it crashed into the barrier and went straight through it and this caused the barrier to shatter into pieces. This of course caused some shockwaves to travel father and cause a little more damage to the surroundings, as the smoke cleared up he noticed that it is raining, well there are no clouds in the sky, it''s just the water that got sent flying up in the sky and now they are falling back to the ground and filling up the huge crater which expanded even more. The exchange seems to be on Snox''s favor, even though he is much smaller than Giratina in size, he ways a lot more, his body is filled with so much energy that even Giratina with its full strength couldn''t push Snox back. Julian saw Giratina being sent flying through the horizon until he couldn''t see Giratina at all, when he looked down he saw Snox yawning on top of a broken part of that bridge made by Groudon, Snox then closed his eyes and fell asleep as he used too much power behind that Giga Impact. Julian knew that Snox used a lot of power behind that attack, that is why he was able to win that exchange against Giratina and send it flying so far away. Now that Snox is asleep Julian falls in dilemma again, he though Snox would just take it easy and pull this battle for a very long time but Snox just one-shot Giratina out of the horizon and fell asleep. Now that Snox is out of the option he needs to rely on others once again, he looks at Groudon below who just barely escaped from that explosion as it hid behind its Protect and multiple thick walls that it erected right before the explosion went off. Julian "Groudon, continue making and bridge forward, we cannot rest before it is finally taken care of" Groudon nodded its head as it knew they cannot rest until they see Giratina defeated for good, Julian told Pidgeot to continue flying forward towards the direction where Giratina was sent flying but before that he sent Snox back to his Pokeball so that he can recover his energy a bit before being sent out again, he can battle with Snox while using Sleep Talk but before then he needs Snox with full power, he is exhausted right now as he used too much power in his exchange with Giratina. It didn''t take long before Julian saw Giratina, it is floating on water with damaged wings and multiple wounds all over its body, Snox really did a number on it but it seems like it is not enough to take this monster down. The Giratina seems to be regenerating as those visible wounds are being closed right in front of Julian''s eyes. Julian ''What a monster'' Julian thought as he saw Giratina can still get back to full health even after that exchange, Snox is the clear winner of that exchange, he came out of it without even a single scratch on his body but he got exhausted from that attack, while Giratina gotpletely dominated by that attack, from what Julian could see this Giratina was badly hurt by Snox but during the time Julian took to get here it has healed most of its wound. Julian ''How do we defeat this thing, it even survived Snox''s Giga Impact'' Julian thought and frowned. Julian ''System?'' System ''Victory not guaranteed until Infernape achieves breakthrough'' Hearing this Julian knew that his best chance is for Infernape to make a breakthrough but he cannot do anything but wait, such delicate process like breakthrough cannot be rushed, this is the biggest hurdle Infernape has to climb through on his own without Julian''s help. Julian ''System, what''s the progress?'' System ''95%'' Julian "Good only 5% more,e on buddy, I know you can do it" He said while looking at Infernape who''s aura is getting more rich and powerful by every second. As Julian was looking at Infernape he suddenly sensed something, he looked down and saw Giratina staring at him with fierce eyes. Giratina knew that Julian is the main ring leader here, it saw Julianmanding these ridiculous strong pokemon from behind so Giratina knew it had to bring down this human before taking down the rest of the world so it started to charge up a powerful Dragon Pulse. Seeing this Julian frowned as he created a very thickyer of Omniforce which will protect him and Pidgeot from that Dragon Pulse but before Giratina could even st the Dragon Pulse something from the bottom of the ocean attacked it from below with Iron Head sending it flying in the sky, next an Ice Beam was shot on the exposed wounds of Giratina causing it to roar in pain. It was Gyarados and Kabutops, they were told by Julian to wait at the ocean for the ambush, when they saw Snox injuring Giratina they rushed towards here to deal with it, seeing Gyarados and Kabutops Julian smiled and pulled out his Key Stone and activated Mega Evolutions for both Gyarados and Kabutops. As they Mega Evolved their strength increased a lot as they started to attack Giratina will all the Ice Type moves they knew, with its wounds being frozen by the Ice Beam, it couldn''t heal fast so Gyarados and Kabutops could deal a lot of damage and they are in the ocean so they have a terrain advantage. Chapter 542 - Julian Vs Giratina The battle between Giratina and Julian''s pokemon continued as they tried to destroy each other, each of their shes would cause the water to be thrown everywhere, it rained continuously and the waves on the water are acting crazy as if there is a natural storm urring there. Their battle caused the whole area to warm up even though its a water body. ?? It didn''t surprise Julian as he saw his pokemon getting beaten up after some time as Giratina got hang of them, Julian was also surprised by how fast Giratina is able to read its opponents ande up with counters. Against a pokemon who just use brute force like Groudon Giratina cannote up with special techniques to take it down, same is the case with Gyarados as well, he uses his huge body to pressure his opponents but right now he is the one who is smaller than his opponents and this doesn''t happen much often. Giratina easily overpowered Gyarados and defeated him by hitting him with a ThunderBolt, Gyarados actually lost his Mega Form as he was too big to dodge the powerful ThunderBolt that was shot at him, Gyarados received heavy damage as he is four times weak to electric type attacks and Giratina is strong enough to counter Snox''s Hyper Beam so Gyarados''s Special Defense was not much of a hurdle to it, once Julian knew that Gyarados could no longer battle he sent Gyarados back to his Pokeball and let Kabutops handle this as he is a much better opponent to Giratina right now. He has a lot of Ice Type moves in his arsenal which is very effective against Giratina and he is much smaller and faster which allows him to dodge massive overpowered attacks from Giratina like Shadow Force. Their battle was dragged on for much longer before Giratina decided to end this stupid battle, it dove straight towards Kabutops using Iron Head, Kabutops move to the side trying to dodge it and is sessful but suddenly Giratina makes a turn towards the opposite direction and its massive tailes crushing down on Kabutops with Iron Tail activated, Kabutops gets swatted into the water and before Kabutops could even recover Giratina sts a Dragon Pulse straight through the water towards Kabutops. The Dragon Pulse tears through the water leaving behind a hole, the Dragon Pulse hits Kabutops and sends him deeper into the ocean, seeing that Kabutops has no chance of winning Julian sends him back to his Pokeball where he can rest and recover. This them the opponent he is facing is too strong for his pokemons to handle, at the end of the day they are still ordinary species of pokemons, no matter how strong they grow they cannot challenge a Physical Conscious of a pokemon that is equal to a god in this universe. As Giratina sees the annoying Kabutops disappearing from its sight, it turns around and stares at Julian with hungry eyes, all this time during its battle with all of Julian''s pokemon Giratina could sense the presence of Omniforce nearby and a very potent and pure one, if it is able to absorb this source of Omniforce it can break its ties with the original body and live its own independent life. Giratina is finally able to pinpoint the location of this source, it looked at Julian as if he is some kind of food. Seeing how Giratina is looking at him Julian felt chill down his spine, this is the first time he encountered something that thought of him as food. Julian ''It wants to eat me because I contain Omniforce inside my body, I should have been more careful when I released it out of my body to feed the Keystone'' He thought. That is when he suddenly noticed Giratina rushed towards him at full speed opening its mouth wide to bite down on both him and Pidgeot, seeing this Pidgeot sent a barrage of Air Cutters straight into Giratina''s mouth but it didn''t cause much damage at all. It seems like its defense from the inside is as good as from the outside. Pidgeot moved to the side and dodged the attack but Giratina didn''t give up, it shot a Shadow Ball at Pidgeot which Pidgeot countered with multiple Air Cutters to nullify itpletely but this allowed Giratina to gain a lot of distance between it and Julian. Giratina suddenly attacked with Aura Sphere as there is no way Pidgeot could dodge that, seeing the Aura Sphereing towards him Pidgeot used Protect to protect himself, Julian and Infernape who are on top of him. His speed is greatly reduced as he is carrying two beings on top of him, the Protect stopped the Aura Sphere from hitting them but it was not over, the Protect then started to crack as the Aura Sphere seems more powerful than Pidgeot expected. Julian decided to help and make his own barrier right behind Pidgeot''s Protect, once the Aura Sphere destroyed the Protect and moved forward it got stopped by Julian''s barrier and the Aura Sphere disappeared into nothingness. Seeing its attack has failed Giratina roared and charged at Julian and Pidgeot using Shadow Force, Pidgeot once again used Protect as he knew his attacks won''t even put a scratch on this Giratina, Julian also enforced Pidgeot''s Protect but it was all in vain. Giratina easily shattered Pidgeot''s Protect then it got stopped by Julian''s barrier but it couldn''t hold for much longer before Giratina went right through it, seeing this Julian suddenly moved. This is not the time for him to hide behind his pokemons, his body is a weapon that even beings that are below the God will want to have, he can easily take the hit but Pidgeot cannot. Seeing Julian move Pidgeot panicked and tried to intervene but it was toote, Julian blocked his path and jumped right at Giratina as he tried to deliver a punch to it. Julian "I will be able to hold it off for a few minutes, I hope Infernape takes it from there" He said and met Giratina''s Shadow Force head-on. Even though his attack is not strong as his pokemons he can stillnd a powerful punch and he knows all the techniques behind a punch to make it more powerful. Julian and Giratina meet and the result is clearly obvious, Julian gets sted away by the sheer force behind Giratina''s attack. Julian''s wrist is in a lot of pain but there is not even a single scratch on his body, it''s just the pain that is excruciating to him. Pidgeot watches in shock as he sees Julian being sent flying like that, he gets angry and sts Giratina with a powerful Hurricane who is charging right behind Julian to eat him. The Hurricane takes Giratina by surprise as its very powerful and with the water around, it carries the water with it creating a massive cyclone as the temperature bes very low. Giratina gets sucked into the Cyclone but it is of no use as it destroys the Cyclone in an instant and heads towards Julian to chomp down on him. Julian "Do you really think you can beat me, I will destroy you from the inside" Julian says and cracks the knuckles of his right arm which is still in pain as he continues flying backward into the Ocean. Chapter 543 - Infernape Wakes Up Right before Giratina could even bite down on Julian something change, a powerful howl came from behind them as everything turned bright everywhere, a fire started to rage and the water in the atmosphere started to evaporate. Infernape has woken up and he is angry, his eye is glowing red and he is huffing his chest, the fire on top of his head is zing like Crazy, he suddenly jumped off Pidgeot which caused Pidgeot to lose bnce and started to fall down but he quickly regained his flight. ?? Pidgeot looked up and saw Infernape high in the sky shooting at Giratina using Focus Punch, with the help of Foresight, fighting type moves can easily damage Giratina. Focus Punch is Infernape''s strongest Punch move and with his ability Iron Fist the power behind this attack is even more devastating. Giratina notices the danger approaching it and quickly turns around to face Infernape, it covers its body with ghostly energy and uses Shadow Force and charges at Infernape with full power, both of them once again exchange moves and this time the effect of their exchange is even more devastating, from there the surrounding turnspletely white and right after than a very high pitch sound follows which was very irritating to Julian and Pidgeot as they were the closest to it, the high pitch didn''t go any further as they could have been harmful to other pokemons. Right after the high pitch sound came a loud explosion which topped every explosion that rued before during the day, luckily Julian and the team are far away from Sinnoh right now, the explosion did cause a Tsunami which directly headed towards Sinnoh but it won''t cause any damage to life as everyone has already been evacuated and cities like Sunyshore already have measures to deal with huge scale Tsunamis like this. The rest of the water was just evaporated into thin air, as the light faded away both pokemons could be seen flying back from the sh, it was a draw but in this exchange, Giratina seems hurt after that exchange as there is a dent on its forehead. Infernape cracked its skull but in exchange, he hurt his fist as well, both of them lost one of their main weapons but it is not over yet. As Julian is falling down to the ocean Pidgeot quickly swoops in and grabs Julian while Julian is keeping an eye on Infernape, due to Infernape''s lite body he has been sent further backward than Giratina as he is reaching Sinnoh mainds. Julian "Pidgeot, after Infernape, now" With Infernape not being a hindrance anymore, Pidgeot started to fly at a much faster speed and he easily caught up to Infernape who is still staring at the direction to where Giratina was blown away, Julian could tell Infernape is raging with anger right now and he understands why. Giratina dared to attack Julian and that is the worst thing Giratina could ever do to Infernape, now it''s not only about Infernape''s price, now it''s about Julian''s safety that Infernape will not look away from. Infernape''s ze ability is ring up as his anger is taking over him, this is the most destructive Infernape, the one who is not in control and is driven by pure anger. Julian ''System, did Infernape make a breakthrough?'' System ''No, 99% achieved, 1% remaining'' Hearing this Julian knew he had to calm down Infernape right now, he cannot let Infernape miss this chance to achieve this massive breakthrough that will put him on a whole new level. Julian "Pidgeot, I will take it from here, keep an eye on Giratina and make sure to keep it busy" Julian said and jumped off Pidgeot, Pidgeot nodded and turned away and flew towards the direction where Giratina is right now. Julian grabbed onto Infernape who is goingplete bonkers right now, he is howling as the fire on top of his head started to change color, from red to orange, then orange to yellow, the yellow to green, then green to blue, then blue to purple, this, of course, caused the surround around Infernape to rise in temperature at an extreme rate, it became so hot that even fire type pokemons would have tough time staying there. Julian held on tightly to Infernape as his clothes gotpletely burned down as he became butt naked, luckily he protected himself from the fire by putting up ayer of Omniforce around him. Infernape started to w down and bit Julian so that he would let go of Infernape but Julian is not giving up. As Infernape bit down he used Fire Fangs but Julian is well protected behind theyer of Omniforce. Julian "Infernape calm down, control yourself, you know more than anyone else nothing can happen to me" He spoke into Infernape''s ears trying to calm him down, hearing Julian''s voice Infernape showed signs of calming down but it was not easy, his anger is off the roof right now, Julian had to hold on to him for minutes as he suffered scratches and bites from Infernape continuously before he finally calmed down. Infernape''s ze is special, it gives him so much power that even he himself cannot control it properly that is why, if he is engulfed with anger he will be the most dangerous pokemon in the world, even this Giratina wouldn''t be able to match the chaos that Julian''s berserk Infernape can cause. Infernape finally calms down and sees Julian and notices that nothing has happened to him. Julian "How many times do I have to tell you, control your anger, there is nothing in this world that could hurt me" He said and scolded Infernape, Infernape looked down on the ground a little annoyed and disappointed in himself. Julian "What are you doing sulking right now, go and finish what you just started" Julian said and patted Infernape''s head when he suddenly felt something bad and the next moment something bad did happen. Chapter 544 - A New Form Julian felt what suddenly happened but before he could even reach he saw a bloody Pidgeot crashing right next to him. Julian''s eyes constricted as he noticed Pidgeot was all bloody, some of his feathers are missing and he has several fractures all over his body, Julian''s mind went nk as he saw Pidgeot''s bloody body, Julian slowly walked towards Pidgeot and noticed that he is still breathing but his condition is bad, he can recover but it will take him months. ?? Julian didn''t say anything and just kneel in front of Pidgeot as he tried to wipe the blood from Pidgeot''s beak as he seems to be bleeding from inside as well. Infernape also looked furious as he felt the change in the surrounding, Julian is angry, not just angry but furious right now. The Omniforce around him turned destructive, the changes in his emotions affected Infernape as well as he looked at the direction to where Giratina is. A massive roar came from that direction as chaos engulfed everywhere, space started to distort as Chaos tried to feed on the space itself, the Unowns appeared out of nowhere and started to go crazy. System "WARNING, WARNING, WARNING, Giratina has sessfully absorbed all the chaos in its body, its power has increased by a lot, advice host to not confront it until Infernape makes a breakthrough" The System started to sound of the warning as it observed the changes in atmosphere, Giratina has sessfully fed on all the chaotic energy that it took from Cyrus''s capsule, now that it has done it, it got enough power to separate itself from its main body, this Giratina is not an entity of its own, it won''t rely on the real Giratina for its power. Now that the limitation of a Physical Conscious has been released this Giratina is more powerful than any other conscious or corrupted consciousness out there. The aura around Giratina is now very thick andpletely visible to the human eye, the dark matter around its body is bursting with destructive energy, everything that this aura touches will be destroyed. System "WARNING, Host is advised to run and not confront the Giratina" The system is still warning Julian as he is still tending to Pidgeot, he takes out the Sacred Ash that he got from Ho-Oh''s nest, this Ash should be able to heal all kind of wounds even if the wounded one is a powerful pokemon like Pidgeot, he sprinkles the ashes on top of Pidgeot as he sees parts of Pidgeot''s body getting healed, his ripped feathers are growing back at a rapid phase. But this doesn''t lower Julian''s anger, the aura around him is also very destructive right now, but it''spletely different from the aura that Giratina is surrounded by. The aura around Julian is the purest of all destruction, it is the origin of chaos itself, Julian doesn''t even know that his anger is stimting his Omniforce to create the purest of Chaos itself. Far away Giratina sensed the purest of Chaos and greed took over it, the hunger to be stronger after devouring Julian became more as it charged towards Julian fascinated by the energy being released by Julian right now. Julian could sense Giratina approaching him as he slowly got up to his feet. System ''Host is advised to leave right now'' The System continued warning him. Julian "Well it doesn''t matter now does it?" Julian said as a murderous aura expanded across the area, the purest of chaos caused everything to be distorted, the surrounding around him seems to havepletely separated itself from the surrounding. Julian "Infernape, destroy it, how dare it injure my Pidgeot" Julian said with killing intent behind his voice, all this frustration he had been keeping inside him, his anger, his desire to kill, all these feelings were being suppressed by him as he didn''t want to go to the old path but today it was different. Today someone who he loved got hurt very badly and Julian is no saint, when ites to the family he will forget all his morals and codes, he will destroy the world if he wants to. Infernape could feel Julian rage, even Infernape knows that Giratina has crossed the line by hurting his brother. The purest of chaos that is being released by Julian started to flow towards Infernape as he absorbed it, the chaos started to change Infernape. System ''Infernape made a breakthrough, current level 101'' His armor started to change and became bigger covering his arms and legs, the armor around the arms and legs seems to have long thick spikes, there were also spikes on the knuckles of the gauntlet that Infernape is wearing. His chest armor also expanded all across his body, and all this armor was very weird in color, the armor was shifting color, from the darkest of ck to the brightest of white. The body underneath his thick armor became ck as well, his eyes turned ck while his pupils became red. Infernape transformed and this seems to be apletely new form, it was nothing like his Origin Form where he was covered by Predominant white mes right now the mes that he is emitting is chaotic and destructive, his mes were very ck, so ck that even light got engulfed by them. Julian isn''t interested in Infernape''s new form right now, he is looking at Pidgeot who is slowly recovering with the help of the Sacred Ashes. Julian "Infernape, I will leave it to you" Infernape looked at Julian with his ck and red eyes and nodded, he roared and the ck fire on top of his head burnt down the atmosphere itself, space got destroyed and reduced into fragments but was restored in a second. It was time to end this once and for all. Chapter 545 - End Of Giratina Infernape jumped high up in the air and charged at Giratina, this new level of power was somethingpletely different to Infernape, unlike his Predominant mes, this me seems to be more focused on destruction than the white one. Infernape still doesn''t know what the White me can truly be used for but this ck me is no means weak at all, instead, it has more destructive power than the white mes. ?? Giratina sensed theing danger and turned around to get hit with a fist with pointy knuckles covered with ck mes. Giratina got sted far away before it could even resist, multiple sound barriers were broken as Giratina''s huge body went flying backward beyond the speed of Mach 10 but Infernape followed right behind it and delivered another devastating blow to Giratina''s stomach that caused it to crash into the ocean water. The crash in the water created a massive sound and a huge wave rose very high in the sky and the remaining water started to rain down. Giratina was sent every deep into the water as it roared in pain, this ck me seems to be destroying its body itself, there are already two holes in its body, one next to its right mandible and the other on its stomach. Giratina got furious, all this power it had collected is not able to withstand a punch from a single fire monkey. Giratina rushed out of the ocean using Shadow Force, the power behind this attack seems to had corroded the water itself as it turnedpletely ck, Giratina used every bit of power behind this attack to finish of Infernape. Julian [Infernape, no need to waste time destroy it] Infernape heard Julian''s cold voice in his head and suddenly his ck mes red up as it engulfed everything around him, the air, the water, the sunlight, nothing could escape. Even Giratina got blinded as the ck mes engulfed its sight as well. With that Infernape''s right hand started to ze with ck mes as he activated Iron Fist and charged at Giratina straight forward. As they shed in mid-air, it seemed like nothing happened, there was no sound, no shockwave, no explosion, just a desperate roar which slowly faded away. Everything was very ck, the ck mes had engulfed everything, light, sound, explosion, and Giratina. A Corrupted Physical Consciousness of Giratina that managed to separate itself from its main body was reduced into nothing in front of this ck me that Infernape controlled. As the ckness went away, there was nothing but water and the clear blue sky, even the corroded water was destroyed by ck mes, people wouldn''t believe that a pokemon that could destroy multiple worlds was in right here as it is too peaceful. Infernape floated on the spot as his ck mes danced over his head, he looked at the gauntlet around his wrist and the ck mes surrounding it. He is confused by this new mes, it feels so much simr to the Predominant mes but yet so different at the same time, it was as if the difference between them was night and day. Infernape flew back to Julian saw his still mending on Pidgeot, Pidgeot has recovered mostly and just need to gain back his consciousness. Once Julian noticed Pidgeot''s movements he sighed as his anger quelled down, Inferape''s ck mes disappeared along with his weird looking armor as he returned back to normal. Julian doesn''t know what just happened but he does know that he asked for something to be killed and now it''s dead but he doesn''t feel the slightest remorse right now because this thing hurt his Pidgeot who is family to him. He sent Pidgeot back to his Pokeball so he can rest, he then turned around and looked at Infernape, Julian knew Infernape broke through the level 100 barrier, Julian thought that was the end of it but he was wrong, after breaking through the level 100 barrier Julian could clearly see the difference in Infernape. His me on the top of his head is very calm but it''s burning brighter than ever, his body is much stronger and his fur is much smoother. Julian "You broke through huh?" Infernape nodded his head. Julian "What was that form?" He asked to which Infernape just shook his head as he had no idea, he couldn''t even find its origin. Julian "Well we can look into thister, let''s return, take some rest before we discuss it" He said and sent Infernape back to his Pokeball and looked at his surroundings. There is water everywhere, huge craters filled with water. Groudon seems to have left as well but it did leave a very fertilend behind it so people won''t have much trouble renovating it to their liking again. Julian "Looks like I am able to cross that line when my family is attacked" He said and smiled, he could tell all his pent up frustration hadpletely disappeared from his body. What happened today will only be between Julian and his pokemons, the world couldn''t see what happened and Julian will not tell anyone what happened. He called out Garchomp as he is ready to leave, Garchomp looked around and saw the destruction of thisnd and felt chills running down his spine as he couldn''t imagine what just happened here. He took Julian and flew away deciding not to think about it at all. Chapter 546 - Checking The Crack In The Sky Julian asked Garchomp tond right at the entrance of the cave in Mt. Cor as its the only way a human can enter the Spear Pir unless one posses the Spear Key with one of the orbs. After sending Garchomp back to his Pokeball he called took out a torchlight to brighten up the cave, he didn''t want to use Infernape right now because he is tired after battling Giratina. ?? Even though he doesn''t look tired physically, he is mentally tired, using this new type of me seems even more taxing than Predominant mes to Infernape as it''s his first time. Julian continued walking through the cave as he wants to check if the crack in the sky above Sky Pir has been closed or not,st time hepletely neglected the damage done by the Mutated Hydreigon which led to this event, if he had checked it before this would have never happened, he got too careless but he doesn''t me himself either, it was 1 in a million chance that he would suspect a pokemon that is of that Mutated Hydreigon was able to break the gate between two different dimension. With the level that Hydreigon was at, there was no way a pokemon on the same level could do it, not even Julian''s pokemon except Infernape if he uses his Omni Form. After an hour Julian finally reached the other end as he saw the light from the other side of the cave, once he walked out he was greeted by the same old thick fog which clouded his vision, as he walked forwards he saw the Spear Pir still standing tall, he saw some damages on the alter but nothing too serious. When he looked up the sky he saw that the crack has already been fixed. Julian ''The Unowns must have mended it with the absence of that Giratina watching them'' He said and smiled, now that he knows there is nothing to worry about he decided to get out of here and contact Cynthia and inform her that the disaster is avoided sessfully. After getting out of the cave he noticed that its already evening, the sun is about to set as Sinnoh has be very peaceful. As the viges and cities around Mt. Cor has been destroyed Julian isn''t able to call Cynthia as there is nowork on his cellphone. Julian "Looks like I have to go to the nearest vige or city that is not destroyed" Saying so he climbed on top of Garchomp and flew high in the sky to look down on the massive Sinnoh, even though he is very high in the sky he cannot see the end of Sinnoh as it is a very big region. Julian notices that Sceon City is not affected by the carnage Giratina has caused so he asks Garchomp to fly towards Sceon City, once he reaches there he quickly looks around to see if there are anyone left behind, finding multiple empty building and stores around Julian sighed in relief. He could see some small damages done by the massive shockwaves that were created during his battle. Finding no one around was a huge relief to him as any of those shockwaves could have seriously injured the people that would get hit by them. Julian looked at his cell and he saw that he has awork so he quickly makes a call to Cynthia. Cynthia "Hello, Julian I was so worried, it''s been hours since those sounds had stopped, I was really scared" Hearing her being worried about him Julian felt happy, he knew he is living a happy life right now, there are troubles thate looking for him but most of the time his life is really good, women who love him, pokemons that respect and love him as well and money that keeps flowing into his pocket. Julian "Sometimes this world feels like a dream" He said. Cynthia "What?" Julian "Nothing, don''t worry! Like I said nothing happened to me and I took care of the disaster" Cynthia "You did it? What was it?" Julian "I think you know but I will keep this between me and my pokemons, it''s for the better" He said. Cynthia "I understand, but what about the damage?" Julian "Fortunately there is no damage on Mt. Cor, it really is a magical mountain but the viges and cities around it ispletely destroyed" Cynthia "Oh no, that''s gonna cost a lot" She said in a worried voice. Julian "Don''t worry something good came out of this, thend that is present there right now is very rich with energy and can sustain a lot of new lives and crops for pokemons and humans" He said. Cynthia "Huh? how is that even possible?" Julian "As I said, it''s better if only I know about this and no one else" Cynthia "Ok, so when will you being back?" Julian "I will be there tomorrow morning, I am too tired right now, I will camp out" Cynthia "Ok be safe and love you" Julian "Love you too" He said and ended the call as he saw thest bit of the sun finally setting as it became dark, he looked at the direction of the battle and thought about Groudon. Julian "I wonder where it went?" He said and started to build a camp. Back during the battle Groudon left as it sensed the changes in Julian''s surrounding, it already knew that this problem will be solved so he went back to its magma world below the surface of this world as it continues to grow powerful. Chapter 547 - Chaos Form After setting up his camp Julian called out all his pokemons so they can rest and get along with each other and made them their favorite food, all of them work hard to fight off the threat that loomed over Sinnoh. As Julian started to cook Snox woke up as he smelled the food, he had used a lot of energy and he is very hungry right now, Julian knew he had to feed Snox before everyone or he would go around eating leaves if he gets too hungry. ?? After giving them their food Julian sat down and cleared his mind as he thought about what happened today, his anger fueled a different kind of Omniforce into Infernape causing him to transform differently. He could tell that the aura was chaos itself and even purer than the one he felt from the other dimension where Giratina came from. He asked Infernape but even he didn''t have any idea about this new form so Julian had to ask the system. Julian ''System, what was Infernape''s new form?'' System ''Infernape''s new form got triggered by the chaos from the host''s energy, the Omniforce in host got converted into chaos effect Infernape''s form'' Julian ''I suspected that'' He thought and tried to convert the Omniforce in his body to Chaos, he tried to remember the feeling of controlling chaos this morning but as he tried to replicate it, his body started to react and he felt jolts of pain rushing all over his body. Julian grunted and stopped doing it, he felt like he would almost die if he tried it again. Julian ''Looks like I was able to pull it off because of how I felt this morning, now that I am not stimted by anger I cannot do anything, and me creating Chaos was just some luck'' He thought and asked the system to continue talking about Infernape''s new form. ______________ System - [ Infernape - Chaos Form. Ability - Quasar Force. HP - ??? Attack - ??? Defense - ??? Sp. Attack - ??? Sp. Defense - ??? Speed - ???] Seeing the stats Julian found it no different from Infernape''s OmniForm but his ability ispletely different, in his OmniForm he had Predominant me that is capable of burning down everything in existence. But right now his ability is Quasar force, Julian has no idea what this is. Julian ''What is this Quasar Force Ability?'' System ''Quasars are supermassive ck holes surrounded by gaseous eleration disk whose mass is billion times than that of thergest star, these ck holes are known to grow stronger and stronger as more they devour, Infernape''s ability is based on the Quasar itself as they are the origin of the purest chaos energy, anything devoured by Infernape''s ck mes will make him more powerful just like a Quasar'' The System gave an answer which Julian didn''t expect at all. Julian ''Wait, you are saying that Infernape''s mes when he is in Chaos Form can devour anything and grow stronger?'' System ''Yes'' Julian ''Then what happened when those mes touched Giratina?'' System ''Giratina got devoured and converted into energy which made Infernape stronger'' Julian ''Wait, I didn''t notice this at all, what is Infernape''s level right now?'' System ''Infernape''s Level - 110'' Julian ''The fkkk'' He didn''t expect this at all, this way of leveling up was a way to easy, Infernape just jumped 9 levels in an hour while Infernape took months to break through the level 100 cap. Julian ''Isn''t this ability a little too ridiculous?'' System ''It is that is why is very hard to master, this form was unlocked by fluke by the host, with host''s current level, you cannot convert Omniforce in Chaos which is necessary for Infernape''s Chaos Form transformation'' Julian felt embarrassed as he heard the system, but he knew it was true, what happened today was just fluke, Infernape broke through the level hundred cap and also got influenced by chaos as well which helped him achieve his Chaos Form. If Infernape and Julian want to use this form again, Julian needs to learn how to convert Omniforce in the purest form of Chaos, Julian tried to remember the feeling he felt when he was angry but he failed, again and again, which caused him a lot of pain, he is not a masochist who enjoys himself by getting hurt. Julian ''Let''s forget about it right now, from the System''s evaluation, it will take me over 50 years of this world before I can aplish the feat to convert Omniforce to Chaos, but the probability of me converting Omniforce to Chaos by luck is very high so I can expect it to see Infernape''s Chaos Form before I am in my seventies'' He thought and chuckled. Imagining himself being a seventy-year-old again made Julianugh but he also started to question himself about his body, this body is a gift from the God so he wondered if he will age like the people of this world or not. Julian ''What am I even thinking, I am still young to be worried about it'' System ''The answer to Host''s question is NO, Host won''t age due to his body'' Julian suddenly heard this answer from the system without him asking about it, Julian frowned, this had never happened before, the System never answered to him unless he specifically asked about something to it. Julian ''System, did something changed in you?'' System ''Yes, System has been upgraded due to Infernape attaining his Chaos Form faster than the System had expected'' Julian ''Wait, does this mean you knew about this beforehand?'' System ''Yes, but System was restricted to talk about it until Chaos Form was attained'' Julian ''Is there more to you? and what else are you hiding?'' System ''Indeed, System is the most advance intelligence in the Omniverse, currently, System is limited due to the host being very weak and System is not allowed to speak anything that has been restricted by God'' Hearing this Julian somehow got angry, all this time he thought that God gave him just a simple system that would help him at the beginning of his journey, he thought that as he gets associated with this world more and more he would have less use of the System and that was the case till now. But today he discovered that this System is more advance than he thought. Chapter 548 - False Rumor As Julian wondered about what the System just said, how he is still very weak for the System to reveal all its uses, he had no idea how strong he has to be before he could reach a level where the System will be fully unlocked. In this current world, there is not much that could hurt him, he can take down pokemons of Elite level all by himself without the help of his pokemons. ?? He always wondered why was he the only one chosen by the god, back in his world there were many who were far better than him, had done a lot of good, fought against injustice but why him why give him this body that could be considered the most precious object in the whole Omniverse. Why does he need such a strong body to survive in the power of pokemons, he wasn''t looking down on this pokemon world but he knows that things are not as clear as he sees. This Pokemon Multiverse is ruled by a single pokemon, Arceus and under its control are the three pokemons that control Time, Space, and Matter. And these pokemons have several Physical consciousnesses of themselves in different dimensions and Universe. Pokemons at these levels are considered gods but Julian also started to wonder if there are pokemons stronger than the physical consciousness of these god-like pokemons, his Infernape is already above that level and now can easily take down a Physical consciousness of these god-like pokemons. All these questions but no one who could answer him, one thing he does know is that God has ns for him, he doesn''t know what it is but he decided to wait till they meet again as it is only God that could answer his questions. Julian also noticed that the way the System is speaking has also changed, most of the time with would give a short firm answer but now it''s giving an answer with exnation. Julian ''Looks like Infernape''s new form really did cause a change in the system'' He thought and continued doing his stuff. The night went by and the sun rose from the east lighting up Sinnoh, the news about the disaster being taken care off was soon spread all across Sinnoh and all the parts of the world, people rejoiced and gave their thanks to the person who took care of it, some thought its the legendary trainer but this time no one suspected Julian to be the legendary trainer because Cynthia did a little magic of her own. Seeing how people were getting suspicious about Julian and the legendary trainer being in the same region where disaster was taking ce, people started to connect the dots but Cynthia created a little trick of her own to make the people believe that Julian and the Legendary trainer are not one and the same. She asked her Zoroark to transform into Julian and act like him to calm down the public When the media and public saw Julian with them while the explosions were still going off in the sky, the thought about Julian being the Legendary trainer was soon stricken out by everyone. Well, there were some people who were still hellbent on believing their theory but they couldn''t withstand the barrage of attacks from the local inte users who harassed them out of every site because they were thought to be spreading false rumors. Julian has no idea that Cynthia did this, as the morning sun hit his face he left Sceon city and headed towards Sunyshore City as it is where Cynthia is currently staying and the city also has a massive underground shelter built to survive nuclear weapons for innocent civilians. When Julian arrived at the meeting spot that Cynthia asked him toe, he saw Cynthia standing there waiting for him with a smile on her face, her eyes were red which told Julian that she hasn''t slept all night. He sighed and walked towards her and gave her a mice war hug, Julian is happy that Cynthia came to wee him but now she needs to sleep, they headed straight towards Cynthia''s room and on the way Cynthia exined what happened during the time Julian was facing the disaster, hearing Cynthia managed to take down the rumor of Julian being the Legendary trainer, it really surprised him. He knew there will always be rumors about him being the Legendary trainer because he is the strongest champion people have seen in years but with no proof, they couldn''t do anything and now Cynthia yed her cards perfectly and fooled everyone showing them that the legendary trainer is not Julian, he wanted to kiss her from happiness but it''s not the time to do so. After they reached Cynthia''s apartment, he let her sleep while heid next to her, he wore a headphone and turned on the TV to watch the news about the current event and how the Sinnoh Government is handling the situation. Chapter 549 - Months Has Passed It''s been months since the fight with Giratina rued and Julian is busy getting ready for the league, the league didn''t get postponed even after the disaster because the damage doesn''t seem to be too much, most of the damage was near the ocean which didn''t need much restoration. The other cities were just fine, their structure was intact and the viges that werepletely destroyed are now going through restoration, due to the new richnds that appeared there caused many scientists to get confused. ?? They also realized that the same thing happened in Hoenn where the destroyednds were turned into a more fertile region by Groudon. Because of this people started to spread rumors about the legendary trainer having Groudon in his team as Groudon wasst seen in Hoenn which suddenly disappeared but now proof of its appearance in Sinnoh made many people believe that the legendary trainer controls Groudon. This made people worship and admire this mysterious trainer in awe and respect, having control over Groudon is not something normal people can even think of. People also started to make stories of their own as they imagined Groudon taking care of the disaster alongside the legendary trainer. While the world was going crazy about the event that rued in Sinnoh, Julian was busy spending time with Cynthia, to his surprise, Daisy and Chloe also came to meet him as they were worried about the event in Sinnoh. Having all three of his girlfriends around him made these few months very peaceful and fun for him. During his other free times, he would spend time training his pokemons and training himself as well as he knew that he hasn''t even unlocked a percentage of his true power, the hidden power that his body is hiding is limitless and he needs to find out more about it. Another month passed as the league got closer, Trainers who still hadn''t collected all their badges were beginning to panic and raiding gyms one after the other, this caused the gym leaders to also work a lot harder, battles after battles tired their pokemons. Some trainers got lucky as they faced off against exhausted pokemons during their gym battles. The news about Julian participating in the Sinnoh league was huge but there were also a lot of ambitious strong trainers who wanted to defeat him and be that one person who will be able to bring down the greatest known Champion. The reason why these trainers are so confident is that the whole world knows that Julian has never brought his old team to battle in the league, he always brings newly trained pokemon that he caught during his visit in Sinnoh. Since they are not Julian''s strongest pokemon many trainers want to challenge him and defeat him. The preparation of the league was huge, Cynthia got busy as she is the champion and she has to do some media before the league as she is also one of the main partners of the yearly Sinnoh league. Her job is to promote the Sinnoh league so a lot of peoplee to watch the league and with Julian''s name present in the participation list, the League Headquarters are going to make billions. They even started to produce merchandise for Julian''s new pokemons and those merchandises would disappear from the shelves of the shop selling them in minutes. Seeing all this madness behind the league Julian realized that the League here in Sinnoh is even massive than the one from Hoenn and Kanto. The people of Sinnoh are more passionate about the league than anywhere else, he also came to notice that the League profits more in Sinnoh than any other region. Daisy and Chloe also had to go back to Kalos as they had their own job to do as well, while Daisy has be a world-renowned Pokemon Groomer, Chloe has be a famous movie star as well. Julian is alone once again but he has him pokemons by his side, during this time he noticed that Gengar is rarelying out of his shadow dimension, he is training continuously, after his defeat against Giratina and being exposed to what Ghost energy should really feel like Gengar got motivated but seeing how powerful Infernape got and single-handedly defeated Giratina he also felt pressured. He decided to explore the limits of his own power in his Shadow dimensions and make a breakthrough from the level 100 cap and go into a newfound realm of power. His other pokemons were also feeling the pressure and he could tell they all want to grow stronger and break through the level cap. Except for Snox, he doesn''t care about training at all, he just sleeps and keeps growing stronger without any training, Julian believes that Snox would be the one who will break the level cap next. Julian sent his other pokemons back to Kanto to Professor Oak, seeing all of them had grown so well Julian is happy, but his main concern right now is where they are going to live. They have be so powerful that the pokemon area behind Professor Oak''sb has be too small for them, especially Gyarados, theke there is too small for him now. Julian ''I will look into it after I go back to Kanto, Jimi might be able to help me with this'' He thought and continued to train his Sinnoh pokemons. Chapter 550 - Another Breakthrough Just a few days are left before the Sinnoh League starts, the participants are hyped up and training with their pokemons with all their heart anding up with their own style of battle so they can win the league and go on to battle the Elite Four and if they defeat all of the Elite Four they will have a chance to im the title of the Champion after defeating Cynthia. Today Julian hase to Lake Valour to train his pokemons, today will be another of those minipetitions that Julian is keeping every month. ?? Garchomp hase on the top twice in a row after a hard-fought battle against Crystal, they both have faced each other many times during the finals but everything either Garchompes out on top or Crystal would just get lucky andnd a very powerful move on Garchomp knocking him out. Today''s minipetition started with Julian''s pokemon battling each other, it was a longpetition and to everyone''s surprise, Crystal didn''t make it to the finals as it lost to Victini in the first round itself. The Victini defeated Lucario, while Garchomp defeated Lucario and they both reached the finals after a long battle between then Garchomp finally came out of the top bynding two powerful Dragon ws on Victini knocking it out. During thispetition, they had some visitors, Azelf came to watch it as it sat on top of Snox stomach with Crystal and ate the candies that Crystal shared with it as they are friends, some wild pokemons living in the forest also came to watch the battle as they cheered on their favorite to win thepetition. Julian just smiled seeing the happy atmosphere around him, its been months since his battle with Giratina and everything has been so peaceful, just like the life he desired. As he was enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him, he heard a notification sound inside his head. System ''Snox made a breakthrough, Snox''s level - 101'' Hearing this Julian got dumbfounded, he quickly turned towards Snox and saw him sleeping while he scratched his belly for a second before going back to his original position again. Julian ''If his friendse to know about this they would get really mad'' Julian thought and smiled awkwardly, he still couldn''t understand why Snox grows so powerful even though he doesn''t train a single bit. Julian ''System, how did Snox make a breakthrough? When it came to Infernape he went into a trance for hours before he finally broke through right?'' System ''Yes, that is the normal process of a pokemon making a breakthrough and breaking the limit of the level 100 cap but Host''s Snox just brute-forced his way into level 101'' Julian ''How is that even possible?'' System ''Snox has been level 100 for a very long time, with all the food he had eaten till now, he just made all that energy rush through his body andpletely destroy the limitation of his body without any consciousness during his sleep'' Hearing this exnation he felt that it was total bullshit but Julian knows only his Snox could do something so ridiculous like this, while his other pokemons had to work hard and try to figure out the source of their power itself, Snox just had to eat and sleep. The training continued for the Sinnoh team as they tried their hardest to be the best, they are very motivated right now as they need to prove themselves that they are as good as their seniors. The day that the whole Sinnoh was waiting for is here, today is the day where the mes of Moltres will be ced in a torch and many trainers and important people selected by the league will hold it and run along the Victory road that starts from Sunyshore city. People from all around the world havee to watch the Sinnoh league, people from the other side of the world are here to see this event as they heard about this trainer who has never been defeated by anyone. Julian is currently registering himself in the league where he meets Ash and his friends who are very eager to see Ash battle in this league. Julian looked at Pikachu and noticed that this little mouse is far stronger than ever, he could tell by looking at Ash that he is more mature than ever but he is still a kid in his heart which doesn''t take away his annoying factor but Julian doesn''t mind it as it is how Ash is. He wouldn''t want something to change just because they are annoying sometimes and Ash is special, he is the hero of this world, this universe will bend their rules so that he will never have to suffer any devastating fate. After registering in the league Julian decided to see who and all are in this year''s Sinnoh league. If there isn''t any challenge it would be very boring. As he walked out of the registration building he noticed a young man with long grey hair and wearing arge red cape that covered his whole body is looking at him. The young man walked towards Julian and stood right in front of him. "Mr. Julian, my name is Tobias and its a pleasure to meet you here today, I will be waiting for you in the finals" The statement from the man took Julian by surprise. Julian "So you are confident in reaching the finals huh?" Tobias "Indeed" Julian "Good, ok then, Tobias, I will remember you" Julian said and walked right past Tobias with a smile on his face. Julian ''Looks like I will have an interesting opponent if he reaches the finals'' He thought and chuckled while Tobias watched Julian walking away into the distance. Chapter 551 - Lily Of The Valley Conference The Sinnoh League began as soon as the Moltres mes got ced on top of the grand stadium, as the me was the trainers participating in the league got excited. The Sinnoh League is also called the Lily of the Valley Conference by the people of the world, the grand stadium was decorated by lilies and there was lily garden all across the area surrounding every mini stadiums and hotel. ?? This ce was indeed the Lily valley. Thousand of trainers from Sinnoh and around the world came to participate in this league as Sinnoh league is one of the biggest pokemon league conferences held by the League itself. The first round started were thousand of trainers were sorted byputers and made to face each other in small battlefields. Julian''s first battle was way too easy, the pokemon allowed for each trainer was three, Julian finished the first round under a minute as he one-shot his opponent''s pokemon with Gliscor even though he didn''t want to. Julian battled twice in the first round with a score of 2-0 which directly promoted him to the next stage, just like him many trainers passed the first round, some had 1-1 score and they had to battle onest time before they could be one of the parts of the top 256 trainers in Sinnoh. The one leading the scoreboard was Julian in the first ce who only took less than a minute to finish both of his battles. Second ce went to Tobias who also just used one pokemon to defeat his opponent. Third ce is actually Paul with another stunning won over his opponents with the help of his Electivire. Fourth ce with to Ash who won using his Staraptor and Floatzel, his Buizel seems to have evolved into a powerful pokemon as well. The fifth-ce seems to be held by a young teenager who seems to be around 16 years old and he has a Spiritomb as his partner Sixth ce went to a boy named Conway, Julian has seen this boy before he was the one who participated in the tag battlepetition with Dawn and would have almost won if Paul''s Elekid hadn''t evolved. Seventh ce went to a young kid named Barry who seems to be 12 years old, he is also the son of Palmer the leader of the Sinnoh Battle Tower, Palmer is one of the strongest trainers in Sinnoh who is not under the League''s influence unlike the Elite Four and the Champion, the battle tower is a separate entity in the pokemon world. Eight ce belongs to a man named Nando, Julian had seen this man participate in a few pokemon contests and Julian remembered that he was pretty good atmanding his pokemons. Seeing the top line up Julian could tell this will be a fun league, the top participants looked very strong and he is excited to battle the top three right below him. He has watched Ash grow stronger and stronger every time he sees him and when hees to Paul he is a natural talent when ites to Pokemon training, but the most interesting battle to Julian would be against Tobias as he saw which pokemon Tobias used in his battle, a Darkrai, he thought he would be the only one who would have second rate legendaries in his team but he is wrong, there is someone else in thispetition as well The round went on for four days before finally revealing all the 256 trainers who will advance to the next stage. The second round began after a day of rest was given to all the 256 participants, Julian didn''t have to wait long because his first battle was on the first day, first draw. From now one its elimination rounds, one cannot afford to lose if they want to move forward, the one who was facing Julian is very nervous but also excited to battle him, everyone who wants to battle Julian has only one wish and that is to take down at least one of his pokemon, they would be happy even if they lose and their chances seem very high because Julian is using a new batch of pokemons, not his ridiculous overpowered old team. Well at the end of the day the match didn''t evenst more than three minutes, Julian sent out Rampardos who just rammed his opponent into pulp until they couldn''t even move. Seeing how strong Julian is again the trainers participating felt pressured, seeing Julian''s battle Ash gritted his teeth as he remembered thest time he fought Julian, he lost terribly even after he Mega Evolved his Charizard into apletely new type of Mega Evolution. Paul also had the same reaction, he once faced a humiliating defeat in the hands of Julian''s Electivire who toyed with Paul showing him that Julian''s Electivire is a better trainer than Paul who is a human. The only person who is calm right now is Tobias as he believes he is the strongest present here and he believes that he can take down Julian. The crowd cheered for Julian as he advanced to the top 128. The League continues for another two days before the remaining 127 trainers advanced, the scoreboard looked the same as before with Julian on top, Tobias on second, Paul on third and Ash in fourth ce. Chapter 552 - The Conference Continues The league continued as the top 128 trainers were sorted by theputer to battle each other again, the league conference is being broadcasted to all over the world as many TV-stations and reporters are trying to interview the top trainers in the leader board, the one every reported is after is Julian but he disappears from everyone site before they can even spot him. Tobias has also be very famous because of his dominant wins over his opponent by just using one pokemon until now and that is his Darkrai. ?? Soon news started to go around that this trainer called Tobias won every gym battle by just using his Darkrai alone, no one knows which other pokemon Tobias has in his team. Many even started to believe that he might be stronger than Julian because of how dominant Tobias''s wins have been during this league conference. Of course, when asked about this Tobias would refuse to answer, neither denying the im or agreeing to it. This, of course, made people think that Tobias is confident in defeating Julian, while the world is looking at Tobias and saying that he is the next Julian, just like Julian he came as an unknown trainer and ran through thepetition with ease as if it was nothing. But Julian had his eyes on someone else, the 16-year-old who is fifth on the leader board, Julian could clearly see that he has been holding back during the wholepetition and the only pokemon he has used is his Spiritomb and Dusknoir, the only reason he is bot being noticed by others is that he is ying the subtle game, he is dragging his battle till the end before delivering the final blow. Julian is getting excited about this league, the trainers participating are way stronger than the Ever Garden conference and the Indigo League he participated in. Julian also noticed that Ash and Paul are also dominating the League with only one pokemon per battle, Ash''s Pikachu has be way faster than before while the powerhouse of his team seems to be his Infernape, the tank is his Torterra, his Floatzel and Staraptor are also doing very well, all of his pokemons are taking three on one battle and winning. Same for Paul as well his Electivire is very dominant and most of his opponents aren''t even able to put up a fight for a few minutes before getting zapped till they faint, his Ursaring and Magmotar are also very dominant during the battle, but the most brutal pokemon in his team seems to be Drapion as it never showed any mercy to its opponent. The league conference is getting heated as trainers are now showing their real strength, the have stopped holding back and going all out to advance forward as the level of the trainers they have been facing is getting stronger and stronger. ______________________ The top 128 began with two random trainers and one of them advanced to the top 64, as the first day of the top 128 was about toe to an end Ash is about to battle, he sent out his Pikachu and won the whole battle easily against his opponent as Pikachu destroyed the ground with his ThunderBolt. The next day Julian''s turn came as he faced off against a young woman in her twenties who used Poison-type pokemon, Julian just sent out Garchomp to deal with them and finished the battle under two minutes once again. By now it was very clear who will be in the top 32 but people were still not sure because the top contender might face each other during the top 64 itself and one of them might get eliminated. Of course, the organizers of the league couldn''t allow this, they wanted all the strongest trainers to battle in the top 32 to they got involved with the sorting process and made sure that the strong trainers won''t face each other until they reached the top 32. Well at the end of the day nobody cared because they will still be able to see two strong trainers battle against each other. The top 128 ended with the next 64 trainers advancing forward, the Leader Board still didn''t change as Julian still stayed on to top followed by Tobias, Paul, and Ash. ________________________ 12 days have passed and the league is in the top 64 stages, this will be the final round before the strongest 32 trainers will face off against each other in the grand stadium for the title of the league champion. The top 64 was just another warm-up for trainers like Julian and Tobias, Julian defeated his opponent by using Lucario under three minutes keeping his streak going. Tobias also kept his own streak by only using his Darkrai for the whole conference. They both became one of the top 32 easily, following their steps Ash and Paul also entered the top 32, the young teen in his 16 also entered the top 32 effortlessly, the others who entered the top 32 are Barry, Conway, all of them were in the top ten before. The person called Nando got eliminated in the top 64 as he faced off against Ash and lost. On day 16 the top 32 started with Cynthia opening the tournament with an exhibition battle against Aaron which fired up the fans as the saw the Champion battle against the Bug-type Elite Four. Seeing this battle Julian got impressed by seeing how Aaron battled, training with bug type pokemons is hard because of their weak Defense and Special Defense, one doesn''t see many trainers with Bug-type pokemons who have reached Elite-Four level like Aaron showing how much of a capable trainer he is. After their battle the top 32 started with Julian being the first battle, the crowd cheered for him as his opponent watched Julianing from the other side with a nervous gaze, he was really luckying up to this stage but now he has to face off against one of the strongest, he knew he is going to lose but he decided to give it his all. After a few minutes, the battle ended with Julian''s Togekiss destroyed her opponents. Julian went into the quarter-finals as he became the first to enter the top 16. Chapter 553 - Rematch The top 32 continued as Tobias also advanced to the top 16, following his the young teen in his 16 also advanced easily, now people started to notice him as well and the name Brian started toe across everyone''s mouth whoever talked about the league and who might be this year''s winner. As always Julian has the most vote over 70% of the audience believed that he would win, twenty-seven percent believed that Tobias will cause an upset by taking down Julian and the remaining three percent believed in other trainers as they were family and friends. ?? Ash advanced as well followed by Paul, Conway, and Barry, the remaining 9 trainers also had a hard battle advancing. The top 32 is over and the top 16 trainers have to battle against one another to get into the top 8, the quarter-finals. The trainers were allowed to rest before the top 16 began, during this time Julian didn''t train his pokemon, he just let them rest as its no use for training them now because they aren''t going to improve in just two days. While Julian enjoyed the scenery around the Lily valley other participants of the top 16 were training their ass off so they can enter the top eight. During his walk Julian came across Paul, seeing Julian Paul walked straight towards Julian and stood in front of him. Paul "This time I will show you how strong I really am" He said in a confident voice. Julian did notice some change in Paul but he is still as arrogant as ever but Julian just smiled, it was not his ce to lecture Paul into doing something, that is how Paul is, he is a natural talent when ites to pokemon training and he has the right to be arrogant. Julian "Good, then I expect you to not lose to anyone until you face me" Paul "You don''t need to worry about that, I will face you no matter what" He said and walked away to train, Julian smiled as he watched Paul walk away, Julian continued on his walk as he got excited about the uing battle. After Julia returned to his room he noticed that the battle chart for the top 16 has been updated, he looked and his opponent and sighed, it was another random opponent, by now Julian really wanted to face off against one of the top 7 on the leader board, he looked at his opponent, it was a woman, he carefully looked at this woman and noticed something, he realized that he has seen this woman somewhere before, then suddenly realization hit him, it was Assunta, the one he battled in the Indigo League finals. Julian ''I didn''t think I would see her here in Sinnoh'' Julian thought and remembered his battle against her, it was really a one-sided battle so he didn''t remember much from it. Julian ''Well, I wonder what has changed from our first battle'' He thought and turned his phone off before going to sleep. The day of the top 16 arrived and Julian was once again the first one to start the battle, the Announcer introduced Julian and his opponent Assunta. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a huge rematch between the two finalists of the Indigo league, the undefeated Julian and the runner up of the Indigo League Assunta, in theirst battle Julian triumphed over Assunta, will the same thing happen again or with Assunta pull off a miracle and head to the quarter-finals. Assunta "We meet again" She said as she looked at Julian, the image of her defeat is still fresh in her mind, Julian''s Infernape one punching her Golduck and defeating her. Julian "I wonder how different things will be this time" Assunta "I know you have trained new pokemons but I won''t y fair, I will use my old team, the same one I used in Indigo League and I will defeat you" Julian "Interesting, bring it on then" Julian said and took out a Pokeball from his pouch and waited for his opponent to get ready, the referee started to exin the rules of the battle, this is a three on three battle, once both trainers gave their ok the referee started the battle. Assunta sent out her Venomoth while Julian sent out Manaphy. Seeing the Manaphy the whole stadium broke into a loud uproar as Manaphy is a Mythical Pokemon, the audience thought that they are lucky seeing Darkrai in the league conference but now they also saw one of the rarest pokemon in the world, the Manaphy. The battle started and Assunta decided to paralyze Manaphy using Stun Spore but it was useless, Manaphy sent a powerful Water Pulse towards Venomoth and cleaned up the Stun Spore before it could even reach Manaphy, the Water Pulse then continued and hit Venomoth and knocked it out cold. Seeing how fast the first exchange ended Assunta is shocked. Assunta "As expected, you are ridiculous" She said and sent out her Venusaur. Assunta "Venusaur, maximum power, Leaf Storm" Julian "Ice Beam" Venusaur created a massive tornado of sharp leaf des that rushed towards Manaphy but Manaphy shot a powerful Ice Beam which went straight through the Leaf Storm and hit Venusaur before the Leaf Storm could even touch Manaphy. Manaphy froze the Venusaur on the spot as it fainted inside the cold ice, Assunta justughed it off and sent her Golduck, she knew she is not going to win this. Assunta "Golduck, Hydro Pump, full power" Julian "Ice Beam once again" Both pokemon sted their attacks at each other and when the moves collided, the Hydro Pump started to freeze on the spot and it created a massive ice wall between them. Julian "Use Scald and finish it" Manaphy shot a sharp highlypressed stream of hot scalding water at ridiculous speed, the water jet just tore a hole through the ice wall like a hot knife through butter and hit Golduck and sent it flying and knocked it out hot as steam rose from its body as the burn effect seems to have been activated. With this Julian won and entered the top 8, right into the quarter-finals. Chapter 554 - Ashs Infernape After Julian entered the top 8 he walked to the VIP section of the arena to watch the other battles that are going to take ce, the second battle is between Paul and some trainer Julian has no idea about. He carefully watched the battle as he saw Paul wipe the floor out of his opponent once again by just using two pokemons and none of his pokemon were harmed during this battle. ?? Julian could tell that Paul is a lot stronger than he expected but it''s still not enough for Julian to care about. The third battle is between Brian, another dark horse that people started to notice, his Spiritomb and Dusknoir were very dominant during the wholepetition and those are the only pokemon he showed during the whole league. As the battle started Brian sent his Spiritomb as usual while his opponent sent out a Ursaring, one is a Ghost-type and the other is a Normal-type, both of their type attacks will have no effect on each other, the winner will be decided by the pokemon''s moveset and the trainer''s skill. Just like Julian''s battle this battle didn''tst long as well, Brian''s Spiritomb seems to be really powerful, it dealt very serious damage to Ursaring, as it got knocked out the opponent sent a Sableye and Mega Evolved it but it still got defeated after a powerful Sucker Punch and a Shadow Sneak by Spiritomb, by now Brian''s opponent had lost all hope as his final pokemon didn''t put much resistance at all and got hit by a very powerful Dark Pulse and got knocked out. Julian knew that if he was not participating in this league, he is sure that the finalist will be Brian and Tobias as they are the strongest but there is still Ash and Paul as they can pull off a miracle by proving their strength. Just because Julian thinks it might happen, that might not be true at all as he is not a god, he just looked at the two strongest trainers in the current conference and gave his opinion, but as to who would win between them Julian has no idea as both of them have been hiding their pokemon. If ites to Darkrai Vs Spiritomb or the Dusknoir, the Darkrai clearly would win as it is very strong but Julian knows that a pokemon battle is not over until thest pokemon is brought out. The battle ended and Brian moved forward to the top eight of the league conference, he looked at the VIP section where Julian is sitting at and showed his Pokeball at Julian. Seeing Brian issuing a challenge to him Julian smiled and did nothing, Julian likes being challenged by powerful trainers, he loves battling as much as Ash, well maybe not as much as Ash but its still high and a challenge from a strong trainer is always epted. The fourth battle is next and it''s Ash Vs Conway, Julian is waiting for this battle as he knows that Ash will start to get serious now, he has been waiting to see how powerful Ash''s Pikachu has really be. To Julian, Ash''s Pikachu is more interesting to him than Ash himself, Julian could tell that Pikachu is special. time by time Pikachu has proven that it can defeat a second-grade legendary pokemon under Ash''s guidance. Julian always wondered what if he was the one who trained Pikachu, Pikachu might have be his second strongest pokemon after Infernape, the people in the audience are waiting for the battle to start but before that, the audience has to wait an hour as all the workers need to have their lunch and rest. This battle will be the final battle of the day as four trainers would join the top 8, tomorrow the top 16 will continue with the remaining eight trainers. Seeing that most of the people in the audience were leaving while some workers were repairing the battlefield, Julian also decided to head out and eat something as well. When he walked out of the grand stadium from the back door as he didn''t want to grab any attention he heard the sound of explosions from behind, he got curious as noticed that it is Ash and Brock training, Ash is currently training with his Infernape. Ash "Infernape, use me Wheel" Ash''s Infernape used me Wheel and a very powerful one and charged towards Brock''s Sudowoodo, Brock''s Sudowoodo blocked the me Wheel and pushed Ash''s Infernape back. Ash "Don''t give up, once more me Wheel" Infernape charged at Sudowoodo once again and the same thing happened, Infernape got pushed back, Sudowoodo being a rock type, it is resistant to fire type attacks and me Wheel is just an average fire type move but Julian is still impressed by the power behind it, Infernape still managed to push Sudowoodo back. Julian also noticed another person watching Ash train, its the blond kid Barry, his battle in the top 16 will be tomorrow and he seems to be a strong trainer as well. Ash continued to order Infernape to use me Wheel, as Infernape kept using it Julian noticed something and got surprised, he saw a single strand of red sparking out of the mes. Julian ''If my hunch is right, Ash''s Infernape is very close to mastering re Blitz'' re Blitz is one of the strongest fire type moves but it also deals recoil damage to the user, its a double edge sword, if one doesn''t use it properly they may end up in a bad position, re Blitz is also a move that some fire type pokemon learn when they be very strong, from this Julian could tell that Ash''s Infernape is very close to the Elite Level, some more intense training for months and it will reach champion level. Seeing how strong Ash''s Infernape really is he thought that Ash might be battling him in the finals this time as well. Chapter 555 - Ash Vs Conway As Julian decides to leave and turn around he notices the change in the surroundings and quickly turns around to notice Infernape charging at Sudowoodo as red sparks like lightning bolts burst out of Infernape''s mes as the me Wheel turns into re Blitz. Ash''s Infernape''s speed increases by several folds all of a sudden and crashes into Sudowoodo who is unable to Defend against this re Blitz as its Defense is destroyed and it gets sent flying backward and crashes into the ground and rolls till it hits a tree and gets knocked. ?? Everyone is surprised by seeing this, even Julian, the power in that re Blitz is really something. Julian ''Impressive, that Infernape is special, Ash got a strong partner, hope he gets to the finals'' He thought and watched the excited expression on Ash''s face, Ash rushed towards Infernape and hugged him in happiness, learning a powerful move before their battle is a huge thing for any trainer, now they have an extra move in their arsenal. Brock "Ash that was really a very strong re Blitz but I will warn you to not use it too much as the recoil from it will be too much for Infernape to handle if he overuses it" Ash "I understand" He nodded his head and continued smiling with happiness and excitement, the blond kid Barry also joined in as he saw the re Blitz and power behind it. Barry "Ash, are you training to face off against Paul?" Ash "Huh? No, before I face off against Paul I have to defeat Conway" He said with a determined voice. Barry "I see, then I will defeat my opponent as well and meet you in the finals and win the league, hahahahaha" Ash "In your dreams, I will be the one who will win the Sinnoh league" Both of them started to quarrel against each other, showing off their passion for pokemon battle, seeing this Julian just smiled and walked away, it is time for the next battle. On the way, he got some sandwiches, chips, and c from the three idiots of the team rocket trio who are selling these to earn some money for themselves and headed straight to the VIP section where he will watch thest and final battle of the day while he eats. After getting a huge room from himself Julianid down on the couch type recliner and waited for the fourth battle to start. The people in the audience started to gather up again for today''sst battle, many people believe that this will be a huge one, both trainers are very strong and Ash is also known very well by hardcore pokemon battle fans, him battling Julian in the Ever Garden conference is a huge deal, he even has some of his own loyal fans. The announcer got back to the mic and started the event, after introducing both the trainers the referee walked in and asked both Ash and Conway if they are ready or not, once both of them gave their approval, the battle started as the crowd cheered for their favorite to win. Julian suddenly noticed amotion from somewhere in the audience, he looked towards the direction and noticed that his girlfriend Cynthia is sitting in the normal seating area along with the audience and is currently deciding to weather to buy Sandwich or Ice Cream from the team rocket trio, seeing Cynthia there the crowd around her got excited and this also helps the boost in sales for the team rocket trio, Julian shakes his head as he sees this, sometimes Cynthia forgets her own identity which causes her to get swarmed by her fans and render her motionless. Luckily for her, the battle has started as the people in the audience go back to their seat to watch the battle, Cynthia also gets her ice cream and sits down to watch the battle. The battle started with Conway sending out Shuckle as his first pokemon, seeing this Julian is surprised, Shuckles are known for their ridiculous Defense but their attack is pitiful, even a Caterpie mighte out unscathed from an attack from a Shuckle, Julian wondered what Conway is nning. Ash also sends out his first pokemon, a Noctowl and it is a shiny pokemon, seeing the shiny Noctowl the crowd gets excited. Julian ''A shiny Noctowl, this is my first time seeing one as well, let see what it is capable of'' The battle started with Ash calling of an Air sh but Conway asked his Shuckle to retreat into its shell, as the Air shnded on the Shuckle, there seems to be no damage on it. Ash continued with Air sh but Conway just continued to increase his Shuckle''s Defense by using Defense curl, people got confused seeing this, why is Conway rising his Defense if he is getting hit by Special Attacks. As Shuckle''s Defense reached its maximum Conway smiled, Ash is also getting restless as the battle is not going anywhere, he decides to attack Shuckle head-on. Ash "Use Arial Ace and grab Shuckle" Ash''s Noctowl listened to Ash and dove downwards towards Shuckle with blinding speed but Conway had expected this to happen. Conway "Use Power Trick then Roll Out" Shuckle suddenly lost all its Defense and Special Defense while its Attack and Special Attack became ridiculously powerful, especially its Attack due to all the boost in Defense that Conway had implemented during the battle. Shuckle suddenly used Rollout and charged towards Noctowl with full power and both shed creating a shockwave that traveled all across the battlefield, Ash''s Noctowl got sent flying backward from that exchange but Ash''s hasn''t given up. Ash "Not so fast, Noctowl use Extrasensory" Noctowl with itsst bit of power used Extrasensory and lifted Shuckle up in the air and then mmed it hard on the ground knocking it out in one hit. Noctowl survived that attack while Conway''s Shuckle got defeated. Referee "Shuckle is unable to battle, Noctowl wins" After the Referee gave his call Ash called his Noctowl back as it is in no shape to continue battling, the damage it took from that Roll Out was big, if it was not the very First Roll out things would have been different as Roll Out bes powerful the more it is used. Conway didn''t expect the first exchange to end in his defeat, he wanted to know what other pokemons Ash had before he coulde up with a perfect n to face him off. The battle continued and Conway sent out his Lickilicky while Ash sent out his Donphan, at first this round seems to be Conway''s as his Lickilicky had got a hold of Donphan with its long tongue but Donphan escaped by using Rapid Spin and then Ash asked Donphan to use Gyro Ball. With several powerful Gyro Balls, Donphan knocked out Lickilicky and won the second round as well, Conway is down to hisst pokemon and Ash still has all three. Chapter 556 - The Top Eight Conway still believes that he has this battle in his hand as he sends out his third pokemon, a Dusknoir, this is the first time Conway has revealed his Dusknoir which caused the crown to cheer for him more, Dusknoirs are powerful pokemon and they do have a very good reputation among pokemon trainers. Only strong trainers can really train a Dusknoir or they will just get consumed by the Dusknoir and the Dusknoir will then proceed to enve its trainer, so many amateur trainers never try to capture a Dusknoir. ?? The third battle started as Ash told Donphan to use Gyro Ball once again but Conway made his move. Conway "Trick room" Suddenly Donphan seems to have slowed down as a massive cube took over the whole battlefield, on the other side Dusknoir seems to have be really fast. Julian "Trick room, this will allow the slower pokemon to be faster than its opponent, I see, this Conway is decent" He said and continued watching. Dusknoir then sted Donphan with multiple Shadow Balls and knocked it out, Ash knew he is in trouble as Conway''s Dusknoir is will be the faster pokemon and all his pokemons are faster than Dusknoir outside this Trick room. Having no other choice Ash decided to stick with his n and sent out his next pokemon, it''s a Gabite. Seeing the Gabite everyone is surprised as this is the first time Ash is using this pokemon in this league. Julian ''When did he get a Gabite?'' Julian thought as he knew that this battle got interesting. Conway "What are you even thinking, there is no way your Gabite can catch my Dusknoir" Ash "Who said I am going to catch you, Gabite Draco Meteor" Hearing Ash''s attack Conway got surprised as Gabite sted a ball of energy up in the air, the ball of energy then suddenly started to shower beams everywhere in the battlefield, some of them hit Dusknoir, even though it is fast it cannot escape all. As Dusknoir crashed on the ground, Ash took his chance and called out his next move. Ash "Now finish it, Dual Chop" Gabite rushed towards Dusknoir andnded two powerful chops on Dusknoir and knocked it out cold. Referee "Dusknoir is unable to battle, Ash Ketchum, moves on to the quarter-finals" With this Ash moves on to the top 8, Julian finishes his c and goes back to his room as the dayes to an end, the next day starts as the remaining four battle is held. Tobias gets another easy victory over his opponent, the blond kid Barry also makes to the top eight as well along with the other two trainers. Now that the top 8 are selected the organizers soon interfere with the sorting system ande up with the battles for the quarter-finals. As Julian is resting in his room with Cynthia who came over to spend time with him, he gets a notification on his phone, he takes it out and sees that his next opponent has been selected. His next opponent is the blond kid Barry, somewhere else in the Lily valley Barry is cursing at theputer as he looks at his next opponent. Barry "Fuck, looks like this will be myst battle" He said and sighed. Back to Julian, he looks at the other trainers and their opponents, seeing the card Julian gets excited as he sees Ash Vs Paul is on the card and it is the first battle of the quarter-finals, the next battle is Brian vs a guy named Kennedy, Tobias is facing off against a girl named Kara and thest battle is Julian Vs Barry. Cynthia "So the card of the quarter-finals is selected huh?" Julian "Looks like it" Cynthia "Anyone interesting?" Julian "Well there is Ash or Paul as one of them will lose, this Brian is also hiding his true power and then there is Tobias the dark horse of this tournament" He said and chuckled. Cynthia also smiled and looked at Julian when suddenly she got sad, Julian noticed this. Julian "What is it?'' Cynthia "You will leave Sinnoh after the league ends right?" Julian "Yes" Cynthia "I see" Julian "Don''t worry I wille to visit you and there is also that new teleportation machine currently being manufactured, soon we will be able to meet daily, even if we live far away from each other" He said and patted her head. Cynthia got happy as she realized that what Julian''s saying is true, with the new type of transportation being created, it will be a lot easier for them to meet each other even if they are living in faraway regions. Julian "With mypany being one of the funding organization got the machine along with several billion-dorpanies, it won''t take long before the teleportation machine getsplete" Cynthia "I know" Julian "For now I only need to concentrate on one thing" Cynthia "And what is it?" Julian "You" He said and grabbed her waist and pushed her on the bed and got on top of her and kissed her and made love with her for the rest of the day. Chapter 557 - Quarter-Finals (Ash Vs Paul) Now that the quarter-finals are right around the corner many casual fans are also visiting Sinnoh, these people are not hardcore pokemon fans, they are only interested in the final matches that will be held in the grand stadium. Like always Julian woke up early and took his pokemons for their normal training and some mock battles between them. ?? The quarter-finals are the day after tomorrow and the trainers are training really hard so they can advance further into thepetition. Julian is not worried but he is waiting for the quarter-finals as he wants to see who wille out on top, Ash or Paul. Two days passed in a blink of an eye and the whole Sinnoh is excited about today''s event, the runner up of the Ever Garden Conference Ash and his opponent Paul, they are facing off against each other in the first round of the quarter-finals. Since Julian doesn''t have a battle today, he decided to watch the match in the VIP room with Cynthia by his side. People are starting to gather up and sitting down on their seats as they wait for the trainers to arrive and start their battle. After half an hour the announcer takes his position and starts to introduce the contenders of the first match, as Ash and Paul walk out of their respective waiting room as the crowd cheered for both of them with everything they got, the loudness of these cheers could be heard all across the Lily valley. As this is now the quarter-finals all the battles from now on will be six on six. With both trainers ready to battle the referee started the pokemon battle as both Ash and Paul sent out their first pokemons, Paul sent out Drapion while Ash sent out his Floatzel, both pokemons shed with each other while using devastating moves, watching the battle everyone in the crowd was roaring and supporting their favorite. Even Julian is impressed by how good this first exchange between these two rivals have been, after several exchanges it was clear that both pokemon were equally matched in strength and power, seeing this Paul called his Drapion back to its Pokeball and sent out Aggron, Ash sticks to Floatzel and continues the battle. This time Aggron gets a slight edge during their exchange due to it being more powerful than Floatzel andnds a powerful Thunder Punch right on Floatzel''s back and knocks it out, with this Ash takes his first loss as he now has 5 pokemons left while Paul still has 6. Ash then sends out his Gliscor, this time the battle ispletely on Ash''s side as Gliscor dominates the battlefield and knocks out Aggron and once again both rivals tie with 5 pokemons each. Paul sends out Gastrodon as his third pokemon but it also meets the same fate as Aggron and gets destroyed by Ash''s Gliscor. Seeing this Julian is really impressed by how powerful Ash''s Gliscor really is, with this Ash is on the lead with 5 pokemons while Paul has 4. Paul then sends his Drapion again while Ash recalls his Gliscor and lets it rest for a while before it goes to battle again, Ash then sends out his Staraptor. As the battle between Staraptor and Drapion begins it is clear that Drapion is at a huge disadvantage, and in the wild, there have also been sightings of Staraptor preying on Drapions, but as Ash was about to finish this round by using Brave Bird, Drapion suddenly caught Staraptor with its pincers right out of the air and sted it with Toxic Spikes and knocked Staraptor out. It is a tie again and the tension in the air is getting thicker, both trainers are acknowledging each other skills as they continue their battle. Paul calls Drapion back to its Pokeball and sends out his fourth pokemon Ninjask, Ash sends out his Infernape, during their exchange Ninjask is clearly the faster pokemon while Infernape is the stronger one, Ninjask is able tond more hits on Infernape while the hitsnded by Infernape are devastating to Ninjask. Ash and Paul decides to end this by calling out their best moves, Infernape used re Blitz and Ninjask used Giga Drain, both of them shed and created a massive explosion, luckily the stadiums are protected by a forcefield which protects the audience from the powerful explosions, as the smoke cleared up the winner is seen by everyone, it is Infernape but the recoil of the re Blitz takes effect and Infernape gets damaged a little again, Ash calls Infernape back to its Pokeball and looks at Pikachu who is standing by his side and sends him to the battlefield Paul calls Ninjask back to its Pokeball and sends out Fross, the battle beings with Fross using Hail and with its ability Snow Cloak it started to fade away from Pikachu''s vision and is able tond some sessful hits on him but Ash doesn''t seem to be bothered by it and asks Pikachu to use Discharge, Pikachu sts a wide area lightning strike and it sessfully hits Fross and gets exposed while falling on the ground, using this opportunity Ash finishes this match with a powerful Volt Tackle from Pikachu and knocks out Fross, Pikachu takes recoil damage from the use of Volt Tackle. As the Hail clears up Paul sends out his Drapion once again while Ash calls back Pikachu to rest and sends out Gliscor again. The battle starts and both pokemon exchange moves after moves but Gliscor manages tond another powerful hit by using Giga Impact and knocks out one more pokemon on Paul''s team, the star of this battle is clearly Gliscor as it manages to take down three pokemon from Paul''s side while it is still going on. Ash is clearly leading with still four pokemons to go but all of them are not in full health while Paul''sst pokemon is still not been seen till now. Paul sends out his final pokemon Electivire, seeing its Electivire Ash decides to continue with Gliscor as it is immune to Electric-type attacks, the battle starts once again and Ash decides to weaken Electivire from the get-go as he knows that Paul''s Electivire is strong, he tells Gliscor to use Giga Impact, Electivire just crosses its hand and tries to block the Giga Impact, once Gliscor connects Electivire is pushed back as it tries to dig its legs into the ground and stop Gliscor and it is sessful, as Gliscor is surprised by this and its movees to a halt, Paul makes his move and tells Electivire to use Ice Punch. Electivirends the Ice Punch right on top of Gliscor''s head and knocks it out cold. Chapter 558 - Quarter-Finals (Ash Vs Paul 2) Now Ash has three pokemons on his side and Paul has one, Ash takes out his Pokeball and tosses it up in the air as his Torterra takes the stage once. The battle starts with Torterra starting off with a powerful Energy Ball but Electivire just destroys it with a powerful Fire Punch. ?? This battle doesn''tst long as Torterra is very slow when ites to dodging, it tries to attack Electivire with a Leaf Storm but Electivire advances forward by using Fire Punch and destroys it, after it gets close to Torterra itnds a devastating Ice Punch on Torterra''s head and knocks it out with one hit. Seeing this everyone is surprised, they realized that Paul''s Electivire is very strong to defeat both Gliscor and Torterra with one hit is a huge deal, well Gliscor was exhausted but Torterra was still in full health, even though Ice Punch is four times effective on Torterra, it shouldn''t have knocked it out cold in one hit. Seeing this Ash calls back Torterra and takes out his next Pokeball and tosses it up in the air as his Infernape takes the stage. Both pokemon stared at each other, they were also clearly rivals, once they trained under the same trainer, Paul. But Paul abandoned Infernape and Ash took it in and trained it to grow strong, Infernape red angrily at Paul as it wants to show Paul how strong it has gotten. The battle starts with both pokemon exchange punch moves, Infernape uses Fire Punch while Electivire uses Thunder Punch, the collision of the attacks causes both pokemon to fly back, while Electivire is still ok, Infernape''s condition is a little bad from its previous battle and its use of re Blitz. The battle continues as it is one epic battle, the grand stadium is quite as no one dares to speak a word as these two pokemons exchange moves one after the other, explosions after explosions. Even Julian and Cynthia didn''t talk to each other as they saw this battle, both pokemons are giving their all, as Infernape uses Mach Punch and Electivire uses Thunder Punch during the exchange, Electivire gets the upper hand and sends Infernape flying backward. Seeing this the whole crowd thinks that Infernape lost, even the referee thought so but before he could give his verdict, Infernape suddenly started to move and got back to its feet as its eyes burned with fire as it turned red, ze kicked in as Infernape''s mes rose high up in the sky. Seeing this Paul also decides to powerful Electivire up as he orders Electivire to use Thunder on itself, Electivire does this as a massive lightning bolt crashes on it, seeing this the crowd is shocked but they soon notice that Electivire didn''t take any damage from that Thunder, instead it seems more powerful. It''s Electivire''s ability Motor Drive, it increases Electivire''s speed after getting hit by an Electric-type move. Ash "Infernape, let''s end this, re Blitz" Paul "Thunder Punch" As Electivire is faster, its punch is faster, a fast punch from a heavy built like Electivire is always devastating, both pokemon sh with each other creating a massive explosion. As the smoke clears up both pokemons are seen still standing, suddenly the recoil of the re Blitz hits Infernape and everyone thinks it''s going down but Infernape keeps its bnce. On the other hand, suddenly Electivire''s body gets engulfed in mes as the burn effect takes over and Electivire goes down to the ground. Ash wins as the referee calls out him as the winner after seeing Electivire fainting. Hearing the result the crowd burst out in cheers as they fully enjoyed this battle, Ash wins with two pokemons still remaining on his side. On the VIP section, Julian smiles after seeing the end of this battle, this was the first time he felt this excited seeing a pokemon battle. Julian "A strong rival huh? I wonder if there is anyone out there who can give me a battle of this scale" He said and chuckled. Cynthia "Don''t count me out still, after you win the league you will have to battle with me, who knows who will win, I am a lot stronger than before" She said while pouting. Julian "Of course, so can I use Infernape during our battle?" He asked. Cynthia "NO, THAT''S CHEATING" She shouted and pulled his cheek. Julian "Ok, ok, I won''t" He said andughed. They both then eat their lunch together in the VIP room and wait for the next battle, it''s Brian Vs a guy named Kennedy. The battle starts with Brian sending out his Spiritomb, he then continues to knock out three of his opponent''s pokemons with just his Spiritomb, he then calls it back and does the same thing with his Dusknoir and wins the whole battle with just two pokemons. Seeing this Julian is surprised, even at the stage of the quarter-finals, the Brian is still holding back. He knows that Brian will be his next opponent after he defeats that blond kid Barry. Julian "I am excited to see how much is this Brian really holding back" He said and smiled. Cynthia "Me too, his Spiritomb and Dusknoir is clearly as strong as the pokemons of Elite Four, maybe even stronger" She said as she watched Brian walk away. Julian "Well, I will know when I battle him" He said and watched as everyone was leaving the grand stadium. Chapter 559 - Quarter-Finals (Julian Vs Barry) Its the second day of the quarter-finals and Julian is waiting in the waiting room as he watches the first battle of the day currently going on. It Tobias vs the girl named Cara, the battle was the same as usual as Tobias will defeat his opponent''s whole team with just his Darkrai. ?? Julian just smirks and massages his fingers as he gets ready for his battle against the blond kid Barry. Since it is the semi-finals Julian did some research on Barry, he knows that this kid is the son of the leader of the Sinnoh battle tower but as a trainer, he knows nothing about the kid. He did some research and realized that the kid is decent, his ace is his Empoleon, he also has other strong pokemons in his team like Heracross and Skarmory. Julian still hasn''t decided which pokemon to use so he calls out all his pokemons and asks them. Out of all of them, Victini seems to be the most excited one so he decides to go with Victini. Gliscor, Lucario, Manaphy, Togekiss, and Rampardos have already battled, the ones who haven''t still battled in the conference league are Garchomp, Victini, Luxray, and Crystal. The first battlees to an end just like Julian and the others had expected, Tobias''s Darkrai won the whole exchange against six pokemon singlehandedly. Seeing this Julian smirked and looked at Victini. Julian "What do you say Victini? Want to do this single-handedly?" Hearing Julian Victini gets excited and does a victory sign with its fingers agreeing to Julian, seeing Victini Crystal also tries to do the same but realizes that its fingers are too small, Julianughs as Crystal acts still like a little born baby. He has spent so much time with Crystal but he hasn''t seen even an inch of growth in Crystal, just like the very first day it came out of the egg, it is curious about everything that is surrounding it. Julian ate his lunch and waited for his queue, after an hour the second round finally started as the announcer took his seat and started to introduce the challengers for the final battle of the Quarter-Finals. Julian got on his feet with Victini''s Pokeball in his hand and walked towards the door that will lead to the battlefield, first the announcer introduced Barry, Julian''s challenger. Next, the announcer hyped up Julian''s entrance as the crowd went wild for him, the door in front of him opened as he walked out, the sunlight hit his face as he saw thousands of his fans screaming his name out of their lungs. This feeling never got old for him, as he steps into the battlefield, the smell of burned and destroyed ground lingered in the air, Julian took his ce and looked at his opponent, the blond kid Barry looked nervous as he tries to keep eye contact with Julian. Julian "Don''t get nervous now, or it will be a very boring battle" He said. Barry shook his head and nodded at Julian and held tightly to his Pokeball. The Referee then started to exin the rules of this battle and then asked both Julian and Barry if they are ready or not. Julian decided to show his future opponents what they are facing against so this time he will go a little harder than before. Julian "Your name is Barry right?" Barry "Yes" Julian "Let me tell you sorry in advance" Barry "Why?" Julian "This league has got me excited and I wanted to show my future opponents who they are going up against, so I won''t hold back even one bit against you" Julian said with a smile and a straight face. Seeing the smile one Julian''s face Barry felt chills down his spine and cursed his bad luck, he is lucky that he got this far in the tournament but he is also very unlucky as he is going to be a punching bag for Julian. Hearing Julian''s deration the whole crowd went silent, Brian and Tobias who are watching frowned and started to pay more attention to this battle. Referee "Let the battle being" Barry sent out his Hitmonlee for the first battle while Julian sent his Victini. As Victini took the stage with mes bursting around it, the crowd is in shock once again, another Mythical pokemon and that too a Victini, they know the legend behind Victini, whoever owns a Victini is nearly unbeatable. Seeing Victini both Tobias and Brian frown, they have only heard of Victini in the legends, this is the first time seeing one and they are already feeling the pressure, the fire around Victini is causing the surrounding air to warm up causing the light to refract around it. Barry decides to go all out at once and asks hi Hitmonlee to use Mega Kick, Hitmonlee bolts at Victini with blinding speed ad aims its powerful Mega Kick at Victini. Julian "methrower" Before Hitmonlee could even touch Victini, Victini sts a powerful methrower at Hitmonlee, the me engulfs Hitmonlee then continues forward and hits the ground which starts to melt and turn into a liquid state as the surrounding bes very hot. Hitmonlee is on the ground chard and fainted. Barry is shocked along with the whole crowd who then suddenly burst out of cheers as they see Victini''s power. Barry quickly sends out his next pokemon, Staraptor, but it also gets knocked out in one hit as Victini teleports right behind Staraptor andnds a powerful Psyshock which sends the Staraptor crashing into the ground and getting knocked out. Barry then sends out Roserade and asks it to hit Victini with a Poison Jab but Victini uses me Burst and sts Roserade right back to Barry''s feet, by now Julian is just bullying Barry and he couldn''t do anything but curse his bad luck once again. Barry decides to send out his strongest pokemon, his Empoleon and asked it to use Hydro Pump. Julian "V-Create" Hearing Julian, Victini smiles and makes a victory sign with its fingers as its ears suddenly start to glow orange, suddenly a me-shaped like a V is formed, the V then starts to grow bigger and bigger until it bes massive. As the Hydro Pump touches the ming V it evaporates and turns into steam, the V then head towards Empoleon and hits it with a huge explosion, during the explosion, Barry feels something just went past him with incredible speed. He turns back and sees his Empoleon nted on the wall deep and knocked out cold, seeing this Barry loses all his hope and goes on his keen and submits. Barry "I submit" Referee "The winner is trainer Julian as his opponent submits during the battle" A submission finish, the rarest way a pokemon battle to end. Chapter 560 - Pressure Julian, of course, felt bad for doing this to Barry, from what he saw Barry looked like a really cheerful kid who likes to make friends and make othersugh but Julian had to do it. He has a reputation to keep. ?? Since Julian is not a champion he doesn''t have to disy his skills in front of his fans every time someone challenges him. Since hisck of exposure to the media trainers like Tobias and Brian is really underestimating him, just because he has a new team every year doesn''t mean he will be weak. Of course, he likes challenges but people underestimate him because he always has a new team and they don''t prepare properly to face him and when the timees they are destroyedpletely by Julian. If these scenarios keep on repeating itself Julian might lose interest just like the gym leader of Sunyshore city, Volkner. This time Julian wants to make a statement so next time when peoplee to battle in a league which he is a part of, they won''t be looking for an easy battle. Julian walks towards Barry who is cursing his bad luck, his whole team got defeated before they could even show their true capabilities, it was indeed tragic, even the crowd felt bad for him but they were also excited to see Julian''s pokemon''s limit. But little did they know, this is not his limit, Julian''s Sinnoh team is the strongest team he has created, even his Kanto team is not a match when ites to power if they werepared by the time taken to reach the level they are now. And on top of that Julian''s Sinnoh team have monsters like Garchomp, Crystal, Manaphy, and Victini, there is no way a normal trainer or even a champion can go against all four of them, well maybe the current Cynthia has a chance as she has grown a lot stronger as well. Julian "Now get up, the son of the battle tower leader shouldn''t be discouraged so easily" He said and gave him a hand. Barry looked up and saw Julian giving him a hand. Barry "You know me?" Julian "I did some research, well you could improve a lot, you got lucky, reaching the quarter-finals of this conference league" Barry "I guess, haha" Heughed awkwardly and got up. Julian "Train further and grow a lot stronger and we might have a battle again, maybe in some other conference league" He said and left with Victini floating around him happy as it showed V sighs to all the people in the audience as they went wild over its cute behavior, some people in the crowd posted the video of Victini being cute on the inte and it went viral in minutes as Victini became an Inte Idol. Julian has no idea what just happened, he just went back to the waiting room where he saw Cynthia waiting for him. Cynthia "You didn''t have to go too hard on that kid" She said while pitting Barry. Julian "It was now or never, my opponents in the league are getting weak as I grow stronger day by day, I need to pressure them so they can at least put up a fight" He said and smiled. Cynthia "Seriously, I don''t understand you at all" She said and chuckled. Julian "Let''s go and have some dinner" He said and took Cynthia to dinner while the rest of the world were discussing Julian and his battle today, they didn''t see iting at all. During the whole league Barry really stood out with his strong line up of pokemons, especially his Empoleon, it stole every battle it was part off but it got destroyed by a powerful Fire Move in one hit. After seeing the battle the percentage of people who were supporting others soon fell down, some brave-hearted people who bet on Tobias and Brian to win lost all their faith and started to go crazy as they realized they lost all the money that they used to bet. The 90 percent who were supporting Julian to win became 99% after watching the footage of his battle, while the people discussed Julian and the new inte idol Victini, his future opponents Tobias and Brian were having a hard time right now. They didn''t expect Julian to wipe out Barry so easily, even they wouldn''t be able to do it so easily, well they could defeat Barry with a single pokemon but now so easily as Julian did. They started to second guess if they can really face Julian in a head to head battle or not, they started to project themselves in front of Julian and his Victini''s V-Create but every time they thought of it, they saw their own defeat. Julian is sessful, his opponents are feeling pressure from his little act today while he is having a fun time with his girlfriend. The only person who is not bothered by today''s battle is Ash, he is as carefree as ever as he wants to battle Julian again in the finals. The day ended and the build-up from the semifinals started as soon as the sun rose from the east, it is Julian Vs Brian and Tobias Vs Ash. People already are betting on Julian Vs Tobias as many of them are already predicting that Ash is going to lose against Tobias while Brian has no chance against Julian. One of the biggest news for Julian Vs Tobias was the betting rate, it was 1:100. If people bet on Tobias they could make a fortune if he wins and there were some crazy bastards out there who ced their bet on Tobias because they are just that rich. Chapter 561 - The Semi-Finals It''s the Semi-finals and people are already going crazy, it''s Julian vs Brain today while Tobias and Ash will be tomorrow. The lily valley is now fully crowded by people as they want to see Julian use more of his pokemons and show their true power to the world. ?? People from all over the world who have never heard of him before have arrived to see him as they heard about how powerful he is and how no one has ever managed to defeat him, the only person to bring down one of his pokemon is Lance and people know how strong Lance really is. He is defending the title of champion of both Jhoto and Kanto at once and many champions have respect for him. It''s already hard to defend a championship title of a single region and Lance is defending twice at once, when asked how he has managed to do this, his only answer was because he is growing stronger so he can put up a proper challenge for Julian''s main team one day. And people know about Julian''s main team, the team that consists of Infernape and Squad, people talk about them being the most powerful pokemons in the world right after the legendaries. With such a reputation, of course, Julian will attract the attention of the strongest trainers in the world and now they are here to see this undefeated trainer. The sound of the fireworks started to semifinals as the crowd went wild, their voices could be heard all over the valley and further, the whole of Sinnoh is in front of their television as they are eager to watch this battle. People are standing on roads to watch the battle on the huge billboards that are hung on the walls of tall buildings, people have taken a leave from their school and work just to watch the semi-finals of the Sinnoh League conference. Julian is inside the waiting room, his eyes closed as he meditates to clear up his mind, his opponent is Brian who has used only two Ghost-type pokemons for the whole league, none of his opponents have managed tond even a single hit on him and he seems to be the one who likes to attack his opponent''s pokemons from behind. His main moves seem to be Shadow Sneak as well. After clearing his mind Julian opened his eyes as he waited for his name to be announced, he didn''t have to wait long as he heard the announcer start his usual announcement as he started to introduce thepetitors. Announcer "First is a trainer that only a few noticed until he got into the top 32, he maintained an undefeated streak just like our otherpetitors but he only used two pokemons till now, none of his opponents ever managed tond a single hit on his pokemons, its trainer Brian" As the announcer finished his introduction, Brian walked out from his side, he is wearing a blue long t-shirt that is till his knees and on top of that he is wearing a sleeveless ck jacket, he is wearing brown cargo pants, he has white hair and its tips are colored blue. As he walked out people cheered for him, during this league he managed to get some fans for himself as well, he is a handsome young man and his unusual style attracted a lot of attention from teenagers, he waved his hands at the fans with a big smile on his face. Brian finally stood on his spot and looked at the gate from which Julian is going to enter, he became focused and ready to battle. Announcer "Our next trainer doesn''t need any introduction, his fame and skill are renowned all over the world, carrying the title of the undefeated, he is none other than Julian" Hearing his name Julian finally walked out of the gate as the light from the sun hit him, he heard his name is repeated again and again by his fans who are crazy over him, he can see his posters being held by his fans, he could also see some of his pokemon''s posters there as well, especially Victini who has be a star from a single inte video. But right now Julian is not interested in his fans, his eyes are set on his opponent, Brian. Seeing Julian looking at him with his red eyes, Brian started to feel a pressure he has never felt before, from a very young age he was called a prodigy when ites to pokemon training. The first time he saw Julian on television in the Indigo league he was impressed but he thought that he could defeat Julian, he once again saw Julian winning the Ever Grand Conference and the same thought came to his mind, he can defeat Julian as he is a prodigy, so he finally decided to chase Julian and defeat him so the whole world knows about him. When he learned that Julian is going to participate in the Sinnoh league he came to Sinnoh so he can participate in the league and face Julian and defeat him. But now it feltpletely different, this was the first time he felt something like this, someone looking down on him, someone who is a lot stronger than him, just the invincible aura around Julian made Brian ufortable. Julian stood on his spot and looked at Brian, a worthy trainer, Julian hasn''t seen much of what Brian has to give during their battle but Julian has already decided to not go easy on his opponents from now on. He wants to see what Brian is really hiding. Chapter 562 - Julian Vs Brian (1) The grand stadium became silent as the two participants stared at each other, one is an undefeated trainer who has proved the world that he is the strongest while the other is a born prodigy who still needs to prove himself to the world. Julian "Do you think you stand a chance against me?" ?? Julian asked with a smile on his face. Brian "I know I can and I will defeat you right here in this battlefield in front of everyone and show the world that I am the greatest trainer in the whole world" Julian "Confident, I see, but that is not enough, tell me something else, I have heard people iming that they will defeat me many times but none have evene close, what''s so special about you?" Brian "I am a Prodigy and I will show you what kind of advantage I have against youpared to your other opponents" Julian "Then show me, what a self-imed Prodigy really has up his sleeve" As they exchanged their worlds the crowd became interested in this battle further, they heard Brian iming that he would defeat Julian, of course, none of them believed him but it was still interesting, most of the time Julian''s opponents would just give up before the battle even began. Announcer "Looks like this battle will be an interesting one, will trainer Brian triumph over the undefeated Julian?" While the announcer tried to hype up the battle, the referee informed both of them about the rules of this battle, this will be a six on six battle, both trainers are allowed to switch pokemons during their battle, the same old rules that every pokemon battle has. After confirming that both trainers are ready the referee started the battle. Like always Brian sent out his Spiritomb, seeing this Julian smiled and sent out his Lucario, Lucario took the battlefield and stared at her opponent, a ghost type, as being a fighting type her fighting type moves shouldn''t work on Ghost types, well it doesn''t matter as she knows Foresight, with this she can even hit Ghost-type pokemons with fighting type moves. Seeing that Julian sent out Lucario, Brian smiled, he had the obvious advantage and he is going to make full use of it. Brian "I am going to end this with one hit, use Shadow Sneak" Hearing Brian, his Spiritomb when into the ground and disappeared from everyone''s view but everyone knows that when the time is right the Spiritomb will attack with a powerful attack. Julian "Sword" As Lucario heard Julian she focused her aura and created two swords which looked like cusses, seeing Lucario creating swords out of her aura the audience was shocked, even Brian didn''t expect this as he has never seen a Lucario do this. As Lucario''s back was turned against it Spiritomb saw its chance and pounced on Lucario with a ghostly w from behind, as the w was about to hit Lucario, a blue shed appeared right behind Lucario and blocked the attack. As the motion came to a stop everyone could see Lucario blocked the attack by deflecting it with one of her swords. Julian "Attack" Lucario suddenly turned fast and did a horizontal sh from her other sword and managed tond a powerful hit on Spiritomb and sent it flying backward, since her Foresight is in effect the aura can touch Spiritomb, it has no way of escaping Lucario. Brian "How?" He is shocked, he understands Lucario''s aura, its a fighting element so how can ite in contact with a ghost type Spiritomb. Julian "How? Of course, my Lucario knows Foresight" Julian said and smiled. Brian "That exins it but it won''t change the fact that I am going to win" Julian "The only thing in which you are winning right now is......, Ah wait you aren''t really winning at all" Julian thought about it and said it with a sincere voice, hearing Julian really pissed of Brian but he knew that Julian is trying to get to him, he calms himself and looks at Lucario once again as he tries to figure out how can he take this pokemon down. Julian "Lucario, use Agility till our opponent decides to attack us" Seeing Brian is not making a move Julian decided to force him to make an exchange, Lucario started to use Agility as her speed started to grow rapidly. Brian "Shit, Spiritomb, use Dark Pulse" Spiritomb sted a Dark Pulse but Lucario just dodged it and stood there and continued to use Agility, seeing he has to attack Lucario head on Brian realized that he fell in Julian''s trap, he thought too much during the battle, sometimes thinking helps but sometimes it also gives the opponent a lot of time to set up a trap just like Julian, if Brian lets Lucario continue using Agility, her speed to be too much for Spiritomb to handle. Brian "Use Sucker Punch" Brian knows that Julian wants to confront his Spiritomb head on so he decided to go with Sucker Punch. If hends the first hit it will give him a chance tounch another powerful attack, Spiritomb charges at Lucario as a ghostly hand covered with dark energy charges at Lucario. Julian "Counter" As Lucario hears Julian, she opens up her guard and exposes her chest to Spiritomb as her swords are ready to attack, Brian realized that he fucked up as he heard Julian, but it''s toote. Lucario''s swords vibrate from all the energy being stored in them, as soon as the Sucker Punchnds on her chest, Lucario brings down the two swords at Spiritomb from a 75-degree angle with double the force of the Sucker Punch she just took. Spiritomb''s face gets sliced into four while Lucario gets pushed back. The tombstone under the ghostly energy of Spiritomb falls on the ground and a new face is formed above the tombstone of the fainted Spiritomb. Referee "Spiritomb is unable to battle Lucario wins". Chapter 563 - Julian Vs Brian (2) This is Brian''s first defeat in this league but he had expected this to happen but no so easily, he knew that if he wants to take Julian''s title from him he has to expect some casualties from his side as well. He expected this but it was too fast for his Spiritomb to go down, he wanted to use his Spiritomb a lot more during this battle but it got taken down by Lucario after taking that Counter head-on. ?? Brian called his Spiritomb back to its Pokeball and stared at Julian. Julian "If that is all you got then forget about even putting a scratch on my pokemons" He said and taunted Brian, Brian is pissed but he won''t give in to anger which has already impressed Julian but Brian''s skills are stillcking. Brian "This isn''t over, Dusknoir, let''s go" He sent out his Dusknoir into the battlefield, Julian smirked and decided to continue with Lucario as she hasn''t even shown her full potential. Julian "War Axe" The swords in Lucario''s hands turn into a ball of energies, she then brings them together and a giant war Axe with two de ends forms in her hand, this Axe is even bigger than her by few centimeters, she grabs on to the middle of the handle and ms the end of it on the ground causing the ground to crack a little. The pressure is on as Brian starts to think about his next move. Julian "You are thinking again, Lucario smash it" Since Lucario is currently using her weapons she cannot use moves such as Metal w, Shadow w or any other moves that require an empty hand but she has a way to deal with it. Lucario charges at Dusknoir but the huge weapon in her hand doesn''t seem to affect her speed at all, as she reaches Dusknoir shends a powerful swing from the side on Dusknoir, Dusknoir gets hit and sent crashing on the ground by the attack. Brian is confused while Julian is disappointed, when he saw Brian battle in his early matches he was really good but right now he is acting like an amateur. Julian "Stop thinking or this will be the end, I thought you will at least put up a little challenge but it looks like I was wrong" He said. Hearing Julian Brian clenched onto his fist tightly as his nails dug into his skin, he felt frustrated, he looks at his Dusknoir who managed to get up ever after that hit, he still has a chance to make aeback. Brian "Dusknoir, use Fire Punch" Dusknoir charged at Lucario with a powerful ming fist. Julian "Shield" The Axe in Lucario''s hand chance into a thick shield around her left arm, the Fire Punchnded on the shield and Dusknoir is able to push Lucario back but that is all, it is unable to deal even a little bit of damage on Lucario. Julian "Aura Sphere" As Dusknoir was right in front of her, Lucario created a sphere from her aura in her right hand and sted it on Dusknoir''s stomach that has a mouth on it. Dusknoir gets sted again, it rolls on the ground injured from the two attacksnded by Lucario, Brian is feeling pressured how as he goes back to thinking. Julian "This is boring, Lucario, finish this, Sword, Shadow de" Lucario transformed her shield into a long sword and pointed its tip at Dusknoir with her eyes locked on the target, Shadow Energy starts to cover her long sword, this is her version of Shadow w when she is holding a weapon. Since her hands are holding the weapon, she will infuse her weapon with the element, Lucario burst forward leaving behind a sonic boom and the next moment one could see, the long sword goes right through Dusknoir. Suddenly an explosion takes over the battlefield and when the scene clears up Dusknoir is on the ground knocked out with Lucario still standing with the long sword in her hand. The crowd burst into cheers again as they see how cool Julian''s Lucario is right now. Referee "Dusknoir is unable to battle, Lucario wins" Brian is shocked and isn''t able to think what he should do, he ned a lot for this battle but he couldn''t even use one of his strategies as Julian didn''t let him do so at all, it was as if the whole battle is going as Julian wants it to be. Now Brian realized why Julian has remained undefeated till now, he realized that Julian is able to control the whole battle from start to the finish, if he wants he can end the battle in one move or he could drag it the whole way till the opponent gives up. Julian looks at Brian and realizes that he broke Brian, this teenager who was praised by everyone his whole life for being a Prodigy suddenly came across an opponent he cannot defeat even if he gives his all, Julian knew Brian lot better than this. He is just thinking too much, in a battle the opponent won''t let his opposition time toe up with a strategy, this is not a gym battle anymore. Julian "As I said, stop thinking, this is not a gym battle anymore, this is a real pokemon battle, your opponents won''t wait for you toe up with strategies to defeat them, they will attack continuously to take you down. You will never grow stronger if you always keep thinking during your battle, sometimes you just have to go with your guts" As Brian heard Julian he didn''t know what to say, but he realized that he cannot give Julian time to attack, his previous opponents were weak, they didn''t put up a challenge at all, he had a lot of time to think about a strategy and some of them didn''t need one at all, they went down in one hit. But when facing with Julian was something else, he didn''t get even a chance toe up with a strategy, whenever he tried to think of it, his pokemon would get hit, he felt pressured and got startled and confused. He knew he had to forget about strategy and battle as he sees fit for the current situation. Chapter 564 - Julian Vs Brian (3) Brian called his Dusknoir back to its Pokeball, it has only been three minutes and both of his pokemon who dominated in the league were knocked out, it is not because they were weak, it was the trainer''s fault for being clueless during the battle. Anyone who goes against a powerhouse like Lucario will get destroyed if they don''t make a move. ?? Brian pulled out another Pokeball from his belt, this is the first time he is going to use a new pokemon in this league. He tosses his Pokeball high in the air and his third pokemon takes the field, its Mismagius and it looks very strong. Julian ''So he might be just a ghost type trainer'' He thought and decided to call back Lucario, she had a fair share of her battle for the day, the others need to battle as well, he then sends out Rampardos. Rampardos takes the stage and rubs his feet on the ground sting of the sand underneath his legs, Rampardos is Julian''s most powerful hitter, one hit from Rampardos can end this battle but Julian doesn''t expect an easy battle as he knows that a pokemon battle is not over until the opponent''sst Pokemon isn''t down. Brian ''I guess, I will battle with all I got, I cannot just give up, I am a prodigy, how embarrassing it would be if I lost in such a bad way'' He thought and got his spirit up, Julian could tell the difference in Brian''s attitude but he has no idea what changes will this bring to the battle. Julian "Rampardos, use Headbutt" Rampardos charges at Mismagius with full speed with his dome pointed at it, the power behind this attack is massive so Brian doesn''t want to risk a head-on collision. Brian "Use Magical Leaf on its legs" Brian noticed how much Rampardos is relying on its legs to powerup this attack so he decided to weaken the attack or maybe even use this attack''s power for his benefit. If Rampardos''s trips he is going to hurt himself and that is what Brian want''s Mismagius uses Magical Leaf and sends it shooting at Rampardos, the attack hits Rampardos but to Brian''s surprise nothing happens, Rampardos keeps charging at Mismagius, well his speed seems to be a little slower but the attack still has a lot of power behind it. Brian "Dodge it by going underground" Being a Ghost-type Mismagius has the advantage to pass through solid objects so it dodges the Headbutt from Rampardos by going underground, as Mismagius dodges the attack Rampardoses to a halt after several steps and looks back to find nothing but an empty battlefield. His opponent is ell hidden right now and the crowd is anxious to see what is going to happen next. Brian "Now use Toxic" Brian ys smart as he tries to poison Rampardos and is sessful, Mismagiuses out of the ground from the side and sprays a toxic liquid all over Rampardos which poisons him badly. With Poison in effect, Rampardos will slowly lose his health and power. Brian "This time you are going down, now Mismagius, use Magical Leaf" Mismagius once again uses Magical Leaf, this time its opponent is still, it won''t be able to deflect all the power behind the Magical Leaf now. Julian "Counter with methrower" Rampardos stands on his ground and sts a powerful methrower and burns the leaves rushing towards him into a crisp. Brian "Now, Icy Wind" Mismagius maintains its distance and blows a cold Icy Wind at Rampardos which cause some damage and as well as slows him down, seeing the development Julian smiles, this was the Brian who he was trying to battle, not the one from before who was obsessed on defeating him. Julian "ThunderBolt, keep using it, don''t stop" Rampardos roars and sts a ThunderBolt at Mismagius, Mismagius dodges the attack but Rampardos doesn''t stop, he continues to st ThunderBolt at Mismagius. Mismagius tries hard to dodge them but it still gets clipped by one from the edge which still caused a zapping sensation to run through Mismagius''s body. Brian "Go underground once again" Seeing that his Mismagius cannot keep dodging the ThunderBolt Brian decides to make use of the ground once again. Julian "This trick won''t work again, Earth Power" Rampardos ms his leg on the ground and the battlefield burst with cracks that spread across the whole battlefield, suddenly burst of earth energy rush out of these cracks and along with the energy Mismagius is also sent flying up in the air, Mismagius might get past through solid objects but an elemental attack like Earth Power can deal damage even if it''s hiding underground. Now that Mismagius is forced out, its time to end this. Julian "Head Smash" With the signal give Rampardos rush towards the falling Mismagius with all his power, his body is covered with blue energy as he uses his most powerful move as Rampardos is about to make contact the Poison res up causing a sharp pain to Rampardos as his legs get intertwined and he goes flying. Rampardos connects with Mismagius and a huge explosion takes ce, once the smoke is cleared Mismagius is seen knocked out while Rampardos is barely standing on his feet, Rampardos was really unlucky there, the Poison red up right before his attacknded causing him to lose his footing and crashed recklessly into Mismagius which also injured him in the process. Seeing the result even Julian was surprised, he didn''t expect the poison to re up so fast, this showed that Mismagius''s Toxic is more lethal than a normal one. Referee "Mismagius is unable to battle, Rampardos wins". Chapter 565 - Destiny Bond Brian''s third pokemon is down and Julian is still on six but his Rampardos is badly injured, his attack backfired on him, seeing that Rampardos cannot continue Julian called him back to his Pokeball and looked at Brian. Brian "If only the Poison had taken effect a little faster I would have won this" ?? He said and clenched his fist, victory was so close but luck was still not on his side. Julian "That was impressive but also a fluke, you need more than that" Julian continued to get into Brian''s head, he wanted to see how strong is Brian mentally but till now Brian has not shown any signs of being affected by Julian''s taunts, he is holding up pretty well for now but he has to get back on track, he only has three pokemon remaining while Julian can still use his other five pokemons, his Rampardos won''t be able to continue for another battle due to the poison so Julian decided to let him rest, he has done his part. Brian takes out his next Pokeball and tosses it up in the air and a massive Trevenant takes the battlefield, this is the first time Julian hase across a Trevenant, he knows that it is a ghost and grass type but he is not aware of its habits and how it battles in the wild. Julian decided to got with Togekiss and sends her out, Togekisses out and flies up maintaining some distance from her opponent. Brian "Trevenant use Magical Leaf" His Trevenant sted a powerful Magical Leaf at Togekiss. Since this attack cannot be dodged Togekiss has to face it head-on. Julian "Use Mystical Fire" Togekiss sted a beam of me that is surrounded by multiple fire rings, as both attacks shed the Mystical Fire had a clear advantage, it burned the Magical Leaf and went forward to hit Trevenant. Brian "Protect" Trevenant used Protect and created a barrier before the Mystical Fire could touch it, Mystical Fire can lower the opponent''s special attack if it hits, Brian cannot take the risk of getting hit by it and on top of that, it is a very powerful move. Julian "I will end this with one hit, Togekiss, use Sky Attack" Sky Attack is Togekiss''s strongest Physical move and she can deal a lot of damage from it, she races up high towards the sky and starts to dive down at incredible speed, bright light surrounds her body which blinds anyone that tried to look directly at Togekiss. Brian "Then I will take you down with me, Trevenant, use Destiny Bond" Trevenant roars and releases a ck aura around its body like a curse, seeing this Julian quickly pulls out Togekiss''s Pokeball and points it at her. Julian "Return" Togekiss gets sent back right into her Pokeball while she was in the middle of using her move. Julian was surprised by this sudden development, Destiny Bond is one of the most powerful ghost types moves a pokemon can learn. If the user faints the pokemon responsible for the attack will also faint, if Togekiss hadnded that move she would have fainted on the spot along with Trevenant, luckily Julian is fast enough to reach and call her back into her Pokeball. Julian frowned and thought about the current situation, of course, he cannot risk hitting a pokemon that knows Destiny Bond but he also knows that Destiny Bond cannot be used more than five times and Brian has already used it once. Julian takes out another Pokeball and sends out Lucario back to the battlefield once again. Julian "Daggers" Hearing Julian Lucario creates small sharp daggers in her hands and stares at Trevenant. Julian "Use Shadow de" Lucario charges at Trevenant with blinding speed. Brian "Destiny Bond once again" Trevenant roars once again and uses Destiny Bond as a ck curse like aura surrounds its body, as Lucario is about to make contact Julian calls another move. Julian "Now use Dig" Lucario suddenly changes her direction and aims straight at the ground in front of Trevenant with her daggers and spin right through it disappearing from Trevenant sight. Brian is surprised by the sudden change and he tries to figure out where Lucario is going to attack. Lucario suddenly burst out from the side with her daggers faced up as shends a strong and sharp sh on Trevenant which sends it flying, Trevenantnds on the ground but it didn''t faint. Destiny Bond only works when the user faints. Julian first called out Shadow de so that he can force Brian to call for Destiny Bond, once he was sessful in doing so he changed Lucario''s move into Dig giving it ground element. Since Trevenant is resistant to ground type attacks it didn''t affect it that much but the damage is done and one more Destiny Bond is used. Julian "Lucario, return" He calls back Lucario and sends out his next pokemon, Luxray, this is Luxray''s first battle in the league and he is facing against Trevenant. His ws spark with electricity as he looks at his opponent. Brian grits his teeth and continues with Trevenant, this battle is not going as he nned at all but right now he is not even thinking about winning, right now he is thinking about how to survive and turn the table. Destiny Bond was his secret move but now it got exposed and Julian is nning to force him to use it without being affected by it. Brian understood what Julian is thinking so he cannot be reckless with Destiny Bond. Chapter 566 - To The Finals The battle continues as Luxray starts to pressure Trevenant with his agileness, Trevenant is a big heavy pokemon, its attacks are slow and very predictable to a pokemon like Luxray who is very stealthy and nimble and he packs a power punch in every attack hends. Brian is being careful with Destiny Bond as well. ?? If he uses it, he has to use it at the right moment where the opponent is guaranteed tond the finishing blow on Trevenant. Brian''s Trevenant continued to struggle against the relentless attack of Luxray and it was in no position to win this battle. Julian "Let''s end this, Thunder Fang" Luxray roared as his fangs started to glow yellow, spars flew out from it and it became longer, Luxray charged at Trevenant with full speed ready to bare his fangs in it, as Luxray got close to Trevenant Brian saw his chance and called out his move. Brian "Destiny Bond" Trevenant with itsst bit of energy used Destiny Bond but Julian had expected this. Julian "Jump away" Luxray didn''t stop his run, instead, he ran straight towards Trevenant and as he was about to make contact he jumped and made contact with Trevenant with his feet and did a flip andnded on the ground once again. Trevenant fell on the ground but didn''t get knocked out, Luxray just pushed it to the ground. Julian "Return" Julian called back Luxray and sent out Togekiss once again, by now Trevenant has no strength to fight back, even though it still has two more Destiny Bonds in its arsenal, it doesn''t have enough energy to use it. Julian "Mystical Fire" Togekiss sts a powerful Mystical Fire and knocks out Trevenant. Julian "That was impressive, making me switch multiple pokemons to take down one, none have been able to put me in such a state, only you, you should feel aplished" Julian said and chuckled. Brian was really pissed when he heard this from Julian. Brian ''Why should I feel aplished, you just toyed with my Trevenant the whole battle'' Brian thought and called his Trevenant back to its Pokeball, now he has only two pokemon in his team while Julian still has five healthy ones ready to fight every battle they get put in. Brian "I am not giving up, Cofagrigus you are up next" Brian sends out his fifth pokemon, a Cofagrigus. Julian once againes across a pokemon he has never seen in real life, he knows that there pokemon are known to swallow people whole and wrap them with clothes and turn them into mummies. There have also been some cases of death due to Cofagrigus as they didn''t let go of the people and pokemon they swallowed up, Julian also knows that these are Defensive pokemons, it has good Special Defense and very high Physical Defense. Julian decided to continue with Togekiss as she has better Special Attack than Attack. The battle continues and Brian is able to hold up much better this time, with its powerful Defense but Togekiss attacks are showing signs, Cofagrigus is slowing down and its movements are weak. After some back and forth Togekiss wins after hitting Cofagrigus with one powerful Mystical Fire. With this Brian is left with only one pokemon while Julian''s Togekiss and Rampardos are tired. This battle took out a lot from Togekiss, she is nearly exhausted by using multiple moves after moves to just get through Cofagrigus''s defense, thanks to her being a flying type she maintained a safe distance from Cofagrigus which couldn''tnd a powerful hit on Togekiss due to its limitation in its movement. Now that Brian is on hisst pokemon everyone has given up on him winning the battle, it is clear as a day, Brian is no match for Julian. His win streak has finallye to an end, even though Julian knew that Brian is a lot better than other trainers in this league, he still felt no challenge from Brian. Julian felt that Ash could give him a better battle than Brian as Ash is very unpredictable when he is in a tough spot. Brian sends out hisst pokemon, an Aegish, a pokemon that can change its attack and defense powers during the battle. Julian always wanted to raise an Aegish when he first saw one on the inte but they cannot be found in Kanto, Hoenn or Sinnoh, they are native to Kalos region and even there they are rare and hard to train. Julian calls back Togekiss and sends out Victini, as the crowd sees Victini they go wild for their new favorite pokemon, Victini is surprised by the crowd''s outburst but it quickly gathers itself and shes V sighs at everyone happily. Julian sighs and starts the battle with a normal methrower but Aegish blocks it by turning into Shield Form and using King''s Shield, the methrower has no effect on Aegish. Seeing this Julian is impressed. Julian ''Not even a scratch, even though its a steel type pokemon'' He thought and let Victini assault Aegish with other fire type moves but it kept using King Shied and deflecting all the attacks, but Aegish cannot use this move forever, there is a limit to it. A normal Aegish can use this move from 7 to 8 times but a well-trained one can use it 10 times in a battle. A move that guarantees to stop any move for 10 times in a battle is indeed ridiculous, Brian''s Aegish has already used it 6 times and if it continues like this, it''s all over. Julian doesn''t know the limit of Aegish''s King Shield but it doesn''t matter to him, Aegish is just a sitting punching bag for his Victini. Brian ''I cannot continue this forever, it''s now or never, one move to decide it all'' He thought and red at Julian. Brian "Let''s finish this with one move, Aegish, Sword Form, use Head Smash full power" Aegish changes its stance and points the end of its de at Victini as rock energy covers its de, Head Smash is a very destructive move and Victini is weak to rock type attacks and with it being in its Sword Form the attack power would be massive. Julian "One move then, Victini, full power V-Create" Victini backs up and does a V sigh as it starts to circte massive amount of fire energy from its body, legends have it that Victini have an infinite amount of fire energy in their body and they will never run out of it. As both attacks charge up to their max power, the stadium gets covered by double theyer of protection. Aegish''s de vibrates from the sheer force behind it while Victini has a massive zing hot V on top of its head. Aegish shoots at Victini while Victini tosses the massive ming V at Aegish, as the sh happens everything goes while from the explosion and the defense mechanism of the stadium gets cracks all over it but it manages to stop the explosion, well Julian helped a little by enforcing it with his Omniforce. As the battlefield clears up one can see a massive crater in the middle of the stadium, the whole battlefield is wiped out from existence and Aegish can be seen in the middle of the crater knocked out cold while Victini is on the other side huffing lightly while dust all over its cheeks and body while giving a victory sign to the crowd. When ites to a battle between Physical Attack and Special Attack, the winner is always the one that is the stronger one but when both attacks are equally powerful, Special Attack takes the advantage as its user is far away from the explosion. The same thing happened here, Victini was far away from the explosion and survived the bacsh, if it was right in the area of the impact, this battle would have been a double knockout. This time Julian got luckily in a way. With this Julian once again advances to the finals of another league conference. Chapter 567 - The Semi-Finals (2) The crowd is still going crazy over Julian''s win, thatst attack collision between those attacks was really powerful, the audience really felt the power behind it even though they were behind the protection of the barrier of the stadium. Julian walked towards Brian and extended his hand for a handshake. ?? Julian "You are good but still not good enough to challenge a member of the elite four or a champion, continue doing what you are doing and you might reach there in a year" Julian smiled and walked away with Victini right behind him. The news about Julian reaching the finals was something everyone expected but it was still huge, the whole world knew about it and they are eagerly waiting for the second match of the semi-finals to be held so they can tell who is going to face Julian for the title of the Sinnoh League''s Champion. Julian went back to his room where he found Cynthia waiting for him again, he smiled and joined her for lunch. Julian "So who do you think will be standing opposite to me in the finals?" Julian asked. He is curious to see what his champion girlfriend is thinking. Cynthia "The obvious answer should be Tobias as he seems to have a very strong Darkrai and his other pokemon have not been seen by anyone either, well all his opponents were average at best but we should also not forget that he cleared all the gyms with just his Darkrai as well, to take down Volkner with just his Darkrai is a big deal. But on the other hand, there is also Ash, I have been watching him and I cannot figure him out at all, the only thing I can see is that he loves battling, we have seen his battle and he is capable of taking down Tobias''s Darkrai but that is where the problem might start. Tobias hasn''t revealed any of his pokemon, what if all his other pokemons are all as strong as his Darkrai. Ahhhh, it''s hard, I cannot tell who is going to win" She said and let out a sigh. Hearing her exnation Julianughed, he knows how Cynthia is feeling, Tobias is the dark horse of this league conference while Ash is unpredictable and he is favored by this Universe and even if he faces a set back it will only make him stronger. Even Julian doesn''t know who he is going to face in the finals but he is excited for this exact reason, for the first time he doesn''t know. Ash has really impressed him, his growth has been exceptional, Julian''s influence on Ash has been huge and that is why he is growing stronger. Since Ash is growing stronger the people around him are also exceptionally strong, his rivals are strong, hispanions are strong. This is apletely different world to what Julian had seen before in front of the TV, the pokemons are a lot stronger, legendaries are disasters and there is a lot of cruel things here that he didn''t see but he still fell in love with this world. Now Julian is waiting for this day to end so he can finally watch the battle between Ash and Tobias, he spent the day with Cynthia being by her side and being in love. The wait was finally over as Julian woke up from his bed the next morning and saw the sun rising from the east. Today is the day Julian has been waiting for, he has not been excited this much for his own battles, after having breakfast with Cynthia they both headed towards the grand stadium, they could already see a lot of people lining up to get into the stadium. Just like Julian, many people are excited to see this battle as well, one is Tobias who has been a mystery the whole league and the other is Ash and people know he is strong, Ash has been identified as the runner up in the Hoenn league and got defeated by Julian. Many people believed that Ash will be the one who will face Julian again in the finals. Julian and Cynthia went into their VIP rooms with a lot of drink and snacks, Julian had a hunch that this is going to be a very long battle. After an hour of waiting, the battle is finally about to start, the people are getting excited and cheering out loud for their favorite to win. The announcer soon begins introducing the two trainers, first, he introduces Tobias and tells the audience how mysterious and outstanding he has been throughout the whole league. Next, he introduces Ash who is also a favorite of the crowd as many of the hardcore pokemon battle fans have seen him participating many times in the league, and this is his fourth league. With both trainers on the field, the surrounding bes tense as the referee takes his stage and starts to exin the rules while everyone goes quite. Chapter 568 - Shock As the referee continued to exin the rules to the trainers, nobody dared to breathe loudly, Ash and Tobias are looking at each other, their gaze locked and focused, they are ready to go all out. Tobias is not looking down on Ash, he did some research on Ash and found him a hard opponent. ?? Someone who cannot be predicted in tough situations is always someone you have to keep your eye on. The referee started the battle with the waves of his gs and the crowd burst into cheers, Tobias as always sent out his Darkrai while Ash sends his Heracross, seeing Ash''s choice Julian is impressed. Julian ''He is using his head but will it help him?'' He thought and got curious. The battle started with Tobias calling out an Ice Beam while Ash told it to dodge the attack then use Hyper Beam. Tobias alsomanded his Darkrai to dodge the Hyper Beam and st another Ice Beam at Heracross, since Heracross cannot move right now because of the Hyper Beam it used Ash called out Protect, Heracross used Protect and deflected the Ice Beam easily. Once Heracross is able to move again Ash began to attack Bug-type attacks like Pin Missile, he forced Tobias to continue dodging, some Pin Missiles his Darkrai and inflicted some damage on it. Seeing this everyone is surprised, this is the first time someone has put Tobias in such a position, Ash''s Heracross is showing its ability to the world and people are getting excited. Ash then called out a Horn Attack, Heracross charged towards Darkrai with incredible speed as its horn started to glow white. Tobias got the chance he was looking for and called out Dark Void, as Heracross was very close to Darkrai by now it couldn''t dodge the attack and got hit which put Heracross directly to deep sleep. Seeing this Julian frowned, he knew about Dark Void, it puts the opponent into a very deep sleep. Even his pokemons won''t be immune to this. As everyone thought Ash''s Heracross was done for Ash called for Sleep Talk, to someone like Julian Sleep Talk is a very useful move, he canmunicate with his pokemons even if they are asleep due to his abilities but to someone like Ash its different. His pokemons won''t be able to hear anything he says, so they will use moves on their own till they are defeated. As Heracross is very close to Darkrai, it got back to its feet all of a sudden and charged at Darkrai while using Mega Horn, seeing this Julian became dumbfounded, Ash''s luck is really good today, out of all the moves Heracross could have used it used Mega Horn, one of the most powerful Bug-type moves. Since Darkrai is weak to Bug-type attacks it might get finished by this, Darkrai couldn''t dodge this close range charge and got hit by the Mega Horn and got sent flying backward while it held its chest tightly in pain. Heracross''s attack had ridiculous power behind it but it is still not enough to take down Darkrai but it is badly damaged by the Mega Horn. Julian ''Just a little more power behind that Mega Horn and it could have been a huge upset'' Seeing this Tobias is surprised, he didn''t expect his Darkrai to get hit so badly in their first exchange and from the looks of it, Ash is the more dominant one is their first exchange. Heracross once again charged at Darkrai using a powerful Night sh but the distance between it and Darkrai gave Tobias enough space to finish this one. Tobias "Dream Eater" Darkrai suddenly sent out a purple aura towards Heracross and stopped it right in its tracks, Dream Eater is a very powerful move, it only works when the opponent is asleep but when it hits, it helps the user recover 50% of its health back. Heracross got knocked out while the badly damaged Darkrai got half of its health back, it''s not at full strength but it is in a better condition before than a minute ago. Referee "Heracross is unable to battle Darkrai wins" The crowd cheered as they still continued to guess what Tobias''s next pokemon could be. Ash looked at Heracross and smiled, giving his thanks he called it back and sent out his Infernape, as Infernape came in people started to cheer, itsst battle with Electivire caused many people to go emotional and get attached to it, Infernape is right behind Victini in poprity scale in the current league after itsst battle with Electivire. The battled started with Infernape taking the charge with powerful methrowers while Darkrai countered with Ice Beams, seeing no progress Infernape started to move and its speed was blinding, even Julian is surprised by the speed Infernape is disying. Julian ''It is faster than the time it fought Electivire'' Julian thought as he watched Infernape move, that is when he suddenly noticed something, Infernape''s movement seem very simr to his Infernape''s movements. Julian ''When did Ash learn that, I never thought him?'' He thought and tried to remember if he thought Ash, then he suddenly remembered, he let his Pokemons free while he was enjoying his time with Cynthia, even his Infernape left to look around the valley. Julian ''Did Infernape teach it?'' He thought and looked at the battlefield, and suddenly he noticed something and he got surprised. Ash "Now Focus Punch" Ash''s Infernape suddenly came in front of Darkrai as if it is trying to take Darkrai head-on. Tobias "Drain Punch" Tobias called out Drain Punch to counter it and to heal Darkrai further in the process, as both were about to connect, Ash''s Infernape side stepped very fast avoiding the punch, it then suddenly grabbed onto the arm of Darkrai with its left hand and got extra leverage to turn very fast counter-clockwise and Ash''s Infernape delivered a powerful Focus Punch right on Darkrai''s head and sent it crashing right into the ground with a big bang. As the smoke cleared up everyone could see Darkrai had been knocked out, seeing this everyone went silent, the undefeated pokemon in the whole league has been defeated by Ash and his Infernape. As the realization hit them the crowd burst into a huge roar, the announcer is going crazy, and Tobias is shocked. Julian smiles as he noticed those movements, he took out his Infernape''s Pokeball and called him out. Julian "Look, your training seems to have shown effect" He said and smiled at his Infernape, Julian''s Infernape looked at Ash''s Infernape and didn''t say anything. Julian just smiled and said nothing as well, from the beginning Infernape has never interacted with his own species before so seeing that his Infernape is showing interest in other Infernapes made Julian happy. Chapter 569 - Teaching Them Basic Julian''s Infernape looks at the battlefield and doesn''t see much damage on the battlefield which disappoints him, he res furiously at Ash''s Infernape who is on the battlefield. Ash''s Infernape suddenly feels a chill down its spine and looks at the direction of the VIP room and shudders as memories of the training it went under Julian''s Infernape enters its mind. ?? ____________________ A few days ago, before the Semi-Finals, Ash realizes that his opponent is Tobias, the trainer who has not lost even one battle and defeated every gym and opponents in this league with just his Darkrai. Being motivated by this Ash rushes out to the nearest training ground, as he reached there he saw an Infernape sitting under a tree with his eyes closed, he recognized this Infernape. Seeing Infernape, Ash got excited and rushed towards him. Ash "Infernape, how are you doing, where is Julian?" He asked. Infernape opened his eyes and saw Ash staring at him with big excited eyes, Infernape closed his eyes once again and ignored Ash as Ash won''t understand him even if he talked. Seeing Infernape is busy Ash decided to train and called out all his pokemon that he wants to use for his battle against Tobias, after thinking for a while Ash decided to go with Infernape, Pikachu, Heracross, Sceptile, Gabite, Swellow, and Torkoal. Since his opponent is really strong he decided to go with his some of his Hoenn pokemon, they have proven themselves against some of Julian''s pokemon and they are a little stronger than before. Ash starts his training which causes a lot of noise, Julian''s Infernape who is enjoying his free time gets disturbed and opens his eyes to see Ash training with his pokemons. Infernape looks at Ash''s Infernape who is having a mock battle with Pikachu but Julian''s Infernape is not impressed at all, he saw many ws in Ash''s Infernape''s footsteps, the way it moved and fought. It had no technique, only brute force, seeing this Infernape felt offended because he is of the same species. He got up on his feet and continued watching how Ash and his pokemon trained, as he saw this he felt embarrassed, it was a good method to train as it is influenced by Julian but Ash is totally concentrated in power and no technique. Infernape felt offended for no reason as he saw the training process, he slowly walked towards Ash''s and his pokemon and got right behind them, none of them noticed Infernape''s presence at all. As Ash''s Infernape is trying to use a methrower it got pped on the back of its head which sent it crashing into the ground. This startled everyone one and they turned towards Ash''s Infernape and noticed that he got knocked out, they looked at little further and saw another Infernape, they realized who it was and became stiff as they saw Julian''s Infernape ring at them. Ash''s Infernape got back to its senses and got up angry to see who just hit it but when it turned around it went pale and backed off a little as it saw Julian''s Infernape''s stare, it felt like it is being stared straight through its soul. Ash saw this and rushed towards Julian Infernape with excitement. Ash "Infernape are you going to help us train?" He asked with big excited eyes, Infernape just ignored Ash and barked at his pokemon, all of Ash''s pokemon got in a line as they heard Infernape. Seeing this Ash got excited and joined his pokemon as well, soon Infernape started his training, the first hour he went slow then he suddenly started to make them go full hardcore, thought them techniques and how to fight properly, if Julian''s Lucario was here she would pity all of them as she knows what they are going through, at first Infernape was very gentle with her as she was still weak but when she started to grow strong the training became much hard but he managed to teach them the basic which should be enough for Ash and his team. After hours of training and leaving Ash''s Pokemons in a very tired state Infernape left as it was gettingte. ___________________ Back to today''s battle. Ash''s Infernape shook its head and got rid of the horror that was the training it went through under Julian''s Infernape, with Tobias''s Darkrai down the battle is now even with both trainers having five pokemons by their side. People are getting excited as they want to see Tobias''s next pokemon, for the first time he will reveal them and the whole world is on the edge of their seat. Tobias takes out his next Pokeball and tosses it up in the air and blue pokemones out of it, seeing this pokemon everyone is surprised as it is one of the legendary pokemon, Latios. The crowd burst into cheer and shock, the announcer is once again going crazy as he is looking at the Latios. Julian is also surprised to see this Latios, he didn''t think he would see a different Latios so soon, the one he is friends with is a lot stronger than this one but a Latios is still a Latios, its speed is unrivaled in the sky. Cynthia "This could be a thought battle for Ash" She said. Julian "That might be true but the battle has just begun, let''s just sit and watch" He said and popped a soda and drank it. Chapter 570 - A Very Close Battle Ash looked at Latios and decided to call back Infernape, he needs Infernape in theter battles as he still has no idea what other pokemons Tobias has up his sleeve. He sent out Swellow and the battle in the air started, while Latios was fast and powerful, Swellow is acrobatic and nimble which helps it dodge huge attacks that came from Latios. ?? As the battle continued Latios started to dominate the battlefield and soon it hit Swellow by a Dragon Pulse which sent the Swellow crashing into the ground but Ash''s Swellow didn''t seem to be down yet, it tried to get back into the air but Tobias didn''t let that happen. Tobias "Giga Impact" Latios dove down very fast using a powerful Giga Impact and crashed into Swellow and sent it flying towards Ash, Swellow got knocked out cold after this putting Tobias in the lead again. Ash called back his Swellow and sends out his Sceptile. The battle started again and Latios seemed dominant at first but things started to change as Ash called out a Sunny Day, then started to st Sr Beams at Latios and forced it toe closer for physical contact. Ash seems to be nning for this and when he got his chance Ash called out Dual Chop, with two powerful chops to Latios head it went crashing into the ground but it was not out. Tobias called out an Ice Beam and Ash countered it with a Sr Beam again and charged at Latios andnded another Dual Chop and this time Sceptile is able to put Latios down for good. With this once again the battle has be a tie, this shocked many people. Even Julian is surprised by how good Ash is handling himself right now. If this continues he might even win, Infernape''s training had a very good effect on Ash''s team, they are holding their own in this battle. Even Tobias is shocked by this development, he thought that Ash would be strong but to match him was something he didn''t expect. The crowd started to get more riled up as they are waiting for Tobias to send out his next pokemon, he takes out a Pokeball and tosses it up in the air and a red and white pokemones out, seeing this pokemon the crowd goes wild again as it is another legendary pokemon, Latias. Ash decided to stick with Sceptile but Tobias is not an easy opponent, he has already figured out how Sceptile battles after watching it take down Latios. The battle started and it didn''t evenst two minutes before Latias took down Sceptile with a powerful Ice Beam from the back. Sceptile got knocked out cold after that, seeing Sceptile going down so easily Ash got frustrated but soon calmed down and sent out his Torkoal next. The battle started and Ash decided to y defensive and rise Torkoal defense to the maximum, Iron Defense after Iron Defense when Latias attacked with a Special Attack Torkoal will hide behind its Protect and once again go back to Iron Defense, as it kept altering between Protect and Iron Defense it became a tank. Once Torkoal reached the limit to its Physical Defense it started to attack with methrowers and Lava Plume, this battle dragged on for a long time before Tobias got the advantage with Latias''s speed andnded a powerful Dragon Pulse from behind and getting another victory over Ash. Now, Ash, has only two pokemon left, his Heracross, Sceptile, Swellow, and Torkoal have been taken down while Tobias has still four of his pokemon left. His Darkrai and Latios are down, his Latias cannot continue for much longer after having a fierce battle with Torkoal, it lost lot of its energy during the long and hard battle trying to get through Torkoal Defense. Ash didn''t give up still, he still has his best pokemon ready to fight, Infernape has fully recovered its energy as it didn''t use much of it when it took down Darkrai and Pikachu still hasn''t taken the battlefield yet. Ash sends out his Infernape once again, Infernape takes the stage and res at Latias ready to battle, the battle starts and Tobias starts to put pressure on Infernape as he has seen what this Infernape is capable of doing but it doesn''t work. As Tobias was about to attack from behind again with a Giga Impact, Ash called for Infernape to use Counter. As both attacks shed with each other Infernape clearly had the advantage, Counter being a fighting move easily overcame the normal type move that is Giga Impact and on top of that, the power of the punch was too much for Latias to handle and it gout one punched by Ash''s Infernape and got knocked out. Now Tobias has three and Ash has two, his Infernape can still go for another round easily, seeing that this battle will be getting even harder for him Tobias smiled and took out his next Pokeball and tossed it up in the air and a massive Dragonite came out. A Pseudo legendary, even though it''s not a legendary pokemon, its reputation is not something one can ignore, they are the rarest of the pseudo legendary pokemons, the few know trainers who own a Dragonite are very little in history. Lance is one of them who the world knows about, there are others as well but not well known by the public. Julian ''This Tobias seems to have a team filled with pokemons that are second rate legendaries or pokemons that are simr in power'' He thought, by now it is very clear, Tobias''s whole team is broken. The battle starts and to everyone''s surprise, Ash''s Infernape is holding its own against the giant Dragonite, both are exchanging moves after moves, while the Dragonite does have the type advantage it doesn''t seem to have much effect on the battle. Julian ''Ash''s Infernape has a ridicules amount of will power for it to channel so much energy, maybe that is why my Infernape was so interested in training it'' He thought and smiled while looking at his Infernape who is watching the battle closely. As Infernape was getting weaker in the exchanges and Dragonite is using its Physical strength to push back Infernape, the battle took a turn when Infernape''s ze kicked in. With ze activated Infernape became more powerful and started tond a barrage of punches and kicks on Dragonite with Close Combat, even though Dragonite resists Fighting-type moves, getting hit by so many does deal a lot of damage. Tobias ''If this continues, Dragonite might go down'' Tobias "Giga Impact" Ash "Counter with Focus Punch". Chapter 571 - Last Pokemon? As Dragonite and Infernape sh with each other, Dragonite using Giga Impact while Infernape using Focus punch, as the sh happens it creates a massive shockwave that rattles the whole battlefield, the audience who are sitting behind the forcefield could feel the vibration from that attack. With a big bang the whole battlefield is destroyed, cracks everywhere, smoke blocking everyone''s vision, the battlefield goes silent after the big bang as people are waiting for the result, as the smoke clears up the audience can see both Infernape and Dragonite standing, staring at each other. ?? Dragonite suddenly flinches and goes down on the ground and faints, seeing the result the crowd burst in cheers as they see Infernape triumph again. By now Infernape has taken down three of Tobias''s pokemons. Referee "Dragonite is unable to battle, Infernape wins" As he finished his statement he sees Infernape copse on the ground as well and faints, seeing this everyone is shocked, they thought that Infernape would be able to go another round but it looks like it over-exerted itself ion this battle. Referee "Infernape is unable to battle as well" Since Infernape stood till the referee finished his statement, Infernape was the clear winner and now that he is unable to continue the referee has to send him away. The crowd tense up as the end of this battle is getting near, while Tobias has still two pokemon left in his team, Ash has only his Pikachu. People knew that the winner could be either one, Ash''s Pikachu has proven himself time and time again, its ability to ovee stronger opponents is something that has surprised many. Tobias takes out another Pokeball and tosses it up in the air and sends out his next pokemon, another giant and this time it takes the sky, itsrge wings block the sunlight from reaching the ground and its roar shakes the surrounding, a Smence. Julian ''As expected another Pseudo Legendary'' He thought and looked at Ash and his Pikachu, hew knew Pikachu is a lot stronger than ever and even his pokemons will have to battle it seriously if they want to defeat Ash''s Pikachu. Ash looked at his Pikachu and nodded his head with a smile. his Pikachu nodded his head and ran into the battlefield and took his stance, he is ready to go all out, he always has and this battle is no different. The battle started and Smence tried to end it quickly but Ash''s Pikachu is very fast, most of Smence attacks are being dodged, and then Pikachu would counter with a powerful Electro Ball, Electro Ball is a move that is more effective when the opponent is a lot slower than the user, the slower the opponent the greater the damage. Compared to Pikachu Smence is really slow, when the Electro Ball hits it, it gets zapped hard but it is strong enough to withstand those attacks and continue. Tobias tries to limit Pikachu''s movements but it is of no use, Pikachu is just too fast for it. Seeing normal attacks are just being dodged by Pikachu, Tobias felt troubled and decided to fake an attack and instructed his Smence to use Thunder Fang. Smence dove down fast at Pikachu with its fangs covered with electricity, seeing the head-on attack, Ash decided to y safe and hit Smence with a Thunderbolt but with the power behind it, Smence tore through the Thunderbolt, seeing that Thunderbolt didn''t work Ash''s called out for an Iron Tail. Pikachu jumped up in the air and did a front flip tond a powerful Iron Tail on Smence as they were about to connect Tobias called another move. Tobias "Iron Tail as well" Smence quickly nted its foot on the ground and turned around very fast tond a powerful Iron Tail on Pikachu from the side, Pikachu got sent flying to the side but it is not over. Ash "Thunder, full power" As Pikachu is still in the air her used Thunder, as Smence in on the ground it will take some time to get back on the air, Thunder can be dodged but if someone is even a little bit slower, they will get zapped. The same thing happened to Smence, a massive lightning bolt descended from the sky and sted Smence, it roared in pain and copsed on the ground after, the Thunder didn''t stop and its power increased further which caused Smence to get nted deep into the ground, the Lightning the charred the groundpletely along with everything around it, Smence couldn''t take the attack for much longer and gets knocked out. Pikachunded on his feet and looked at the crater he created and his fallen opponent, once again the match hase to a one on one bout. The trainer who participated in the whole league with only one pokemon has now been forced to go all out in the semifinals, nobody thought that this battle would be so close, most of them thought that Tobias will win and would be facing Julian in the finals. But to everyone surprise, Ash and his pokemon held their own against a very powerful team or broken pokemons. Now the whole crowd is waiting for Tobias''s final pokemon, everyone is expecting a big one and that is what they are about to get, Tobias took out hisst Pokeball and it is a Great Ball, seeing this Julian is on edge as well, even his Darkrai who was clearly the strongest of his pokemons till now was in a normal Pokeball so Julian wondered what pokemon could be inside it. Chapter 572 - What The Fuck? As Tobias tossed the great ball up in the air, it opened up and a massive pokemon came out of it, it stands over 7 meters tall and weighs over 400 kgs, it''s a ck Tyranitar. Seeing the Tyranitar everyone is surprised, even Julian, even his Garchomp is ck in color and he can tell how special his Garchomp is. ?? Julian carefully looked at the Tyranitar and noticed that it is way more powerful than a normal Tyranitar. Julian ''Another ck Pseudo legendary, does it mean something, my Garchomp is ck and he is special, even Tobias''s Tyranitar is ck and it''s special, does ck mean something or is it just a coincidence?'' He thought and continued looking at the battle. While Tyranitar is massive its opponent Pikachu is just a little electric mouse who is just 0.4 meters tall, seeing the match up everyone felt that Pikachu is no match for Tyranitar but they knew that a pokemon battle is not over until one of them faints. The battle started with Pikachu using Quick Attack with full power, seeing the power behind the attack Julian is impressed, he could tell that Pikachu has already reached a level above the elite four and one days he will be a champion level and maybe grow even stronger. Tobias''s Tyranitar got pushed back a little but that is all, there seems to be no effect on it, Tobias then called a Hammer Arm but Pikachu is fast enough to dodge the attack and back off. Pikachu then sted a Thunderbolt at Tyranitar which zapped it pretty hard, Tyranitar roared in pain but it shook it off easily and sted a methrower at Pikachu. Pikachu countered with another Thunderbolt, as the two attacks collided with each other, the surrounding temperature increased a lot, one me and other lightning, both are pretty hot elements. This causes a thunderous sound due to the rapid expansion of the air around the collision area. Both Pikachu and Tyranitar backed down as they wait of the heat to go off, once the temperature lowers down they start their exchanges again, the battle bes more chaotic, Tyranitar sts Dark Pulse while Pikachu counter with Thunderbolts, exchanges after exchanges changes the surroundingpletely. This battle has be so serious that even Julian and Cynthia are on their feet, Julian is not able to tell who will win this because, both of them are equal, while Tyranitar is stronger, Pikachu is faster. Ash is also ying it safe by maintaining the distance. Seeing that the battle is not going anywhere Tobias decided to go all out by using Earthquake, knowing that he cannot escape from this attack Ash made up a weird way to get out of it. Ash "Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground" Listening to Ash, Pikachu hit the ground with an Iron Tail and bnced his whole body on it, as the Earthquake came nothing happened to Pikachu as the Iron Tail observed all the damage from it, seeing this Tobias was surprised, Ash then attacked with a powerful Thunder which hit Tyranitar really hard. Tyranitar went on its knee after that Thunder, seeing this the crowd started to cheer for Ash as he seems so close to victory. Ash "Let''s finish this Volt Tackle" Pikachu rushes towards Tyranitar with a very powerful Volt Tackle, as he runs he creates shockwaves while breaking through the sound barrier. Tobias "Not so fast, use Giga Impact" Julian "He loves to teach his pokemons Giga Impact, huh?" He says. Cynthia "Look who is talking, all of your pokemon knows how to use Giga Impact or its counterpart, Hyper Beam" Julian "Well you can''t me a man for wanting to teach his pokemons an overpowered move" Julian defends himself and looks back at the battlefield" While Pikachu is very fast, Tyranitar is heavy, twopletely different ways of using a powerful attack. As they sh another massive explosion rues, the explosion causes the whole stadium to vibrate, people think that it is over, even Julian didn''t know what happened, when the smoke cleared up both pokemon could be seen still standing on their feet. Pikachu is gritting his teeth as he is covered in bruises, Tyranitar is in no good shape either. Ash "One more time, Volt Tackle" As Tyranitar used Giga Impact it cannot move, Pikachu charges at Tyranitar with another powerful Volt Tackle and crashes into the giant and pushes it back. Tobias "Tyranitar hold your ground" For the first time, Tobias is worried as he might lose but he is lucky as his Tyranitar holds of to the Volt Tackle. Pikachu jumps back and the bacsh from the Volt Tackle hits him again but he is still standing on his feet. Ash "Pikachu, one more time full power VOLT TACKLE" Tobias "Giga Impact" Once again both of them use their most powerful move, both run towards each other with full power, as they crash into each other, they finally destroy the battlefield, it was already in a very bad shape but after this, it looks like a meteor has hit the battlefield. As the smoke clears up everyone is on their seat, they want to see who won, even Julian and Cynthia were standing next to the ss as they wait for the smoke to clear up, he can feel the excitement in his body as he watches this epic battle. Soon the smoke clears up and everyone can see both pokemon still standing on their feet which shocks them, both are badly injured after that exchange, suddenly Tyranitar goes down but at the same time the bacsh from the Volt Tackle hits Pikachu and he goes down with Tyranitar. Both of them fainted. Julian ''What the fuck?''. Chapter 573 - It Happened Once Before Both pokemon went down at the same time which caused everyone present in the stadium and everyone at home who is in front of the TV to get dumbfounded, this was the semifinals and for something like this to happen was really bizarre. A draw in the semifinals is a huge deal, people won''t be able to tell who will go to the finals, the only way for one of the trainer to enter the finals will be decided by the leaguemittee. ?? But people were not rushing, the referee can take responsibility on himself to send one person to the finals. Both Ash and Tobias look at the referee as they see their pokemon go down at the same time, the referee is troubled and in a dilemma right now, he contacts the assistant referee to ask for advice but doesn''t get any. Seeing that there is no other way the referee makes a call. Referee "Both Pikachu and Tyranitar are unable to battle, hence its a draw, the trainer who will advance towards the finals will be decided by the leaguemittee" As the referee gave the call the crowd started to boo him, some wanted Ash to advance and some wanted Tobias to advance, the crowd was split. The referee didn''t know what to do, he quickly made an escape to his room before he gets bombarded by waste thrown by the audience. Ash and Tobias don''t know what to do either, they look at each other for answers but both of them are clueless. Another battle for the semifinals cannot take ce for several reasons. First being that the first match was aplete waste of time, both trainers gave their all and their pokemon suffered several injuries, they won''t be able to battle with full strength in their next battle. Second, being that one trainer''s pokemons might not have been healed properly to participate. These reasons could drag the league for much longer so it is left the leaguemittee to handle this. Julian "What happens now?" He turned and asked his girlfriend Cynthia as she is more knowledgeable in this kind of situation. Cynthia "I don''t know as well, this is the first time something happened like this in the semifinals" She said and smiled awkwardly. Julian "In the semifinals huh? did it happen before in other states?" Cynthia "I think it happened once before... Yes I remember, 12 years ago in the Sinnoh league conference, the two finalists tied just like this and they had to share the championship, both of them were also allowed to challenge the elite four" She said. Julian "Hmm, both were allowed to share the championship..... I wonder if this can be done?" He paused and thought for a second. Cynthia "What do you mean?" She asked as she saw Julian thinking about something. Julian "I was wondering if I can face both of them together if they win they can share the championship and if I win it''s the same old usual" He said and smiled. Cynthia "Huh? I don''t know but that sounds interesting, do you think you can take on both of them?" Julian "For the first time I don''t know, that is why this is interesting, I want to see how good I will be when I face of two powerful trainers, thinking about it gets me excited" Cynthia "I don''t think you can defeat them alone, if it is your old team then sure, there is no question that you would win but your Sinnoh team isn''t strong enough" She said. Julian "The thing is I am still holding back so I can go all out against you in our battle" He said and grabbed her waist. Cynthia "Ya sure, dream on, I am a champion as well, I will defeat you if you challenge me" Julian "Ok then, I will defeat these two and take you on, the loser of our battle will have to do anything the user tells them" Julian said. Cynthia "Deal" She said and sealed the bet with a kiss. Julian "Ok then, be ready to do everything I tell you to" Cynthia "Don''t get overconfident, I am a lot stronger than Lance" Julian "Fine, we will see that when we are against each other" He said and let her go. Cynthia "Ok, I will be leaving, I will inform the league about your desire, this will be fun to watch" She said and walked away leaving Julian and Infernape behind all alone in the VIP room. Julian "Hey buddy, its training time" He said and smiled and Infernape, Infernape nodded his head and the fire in his eyes zed. Julian''s Sinnoh team will be going to go through hell now, Julian wants to see the limit of his pokemons and this handicap battle might just be the perfect way to see his pokemons true capabilities. Chapter 574 - For The Finals The whole world is confused about the current situation in Sinnoh, the second battle of the semifinals was huge, it was even better than Julian''s battle against Brian, the whole battle was unpredictable. Ash gained a lot of fans after that battle. ?? The world started to discuss who is going to face Julian in the finals, Ash''s and Tobias''s fans started to put pressure on the leaguemittee about the battle, some wanted Ash to go forward and other wanted Tobias. The league couldn''t even choose the one with the majority because it was a tie even in the voting pole they posted on their site, this was really frustrating to them. There was even a massive inte war between the supporters of Ash and Tobias, not one post for the league conference was left, every post got flooded with this war. As the public are trying their best to make their favorite go further, Ash and Tobias are also having a hard time, they cannot get over their draw, both of them want to go further but they know only one of them would be selected, their journey might end here even though they didn''t lose. Ash''s friends are supporting him while Tobias has isted himself with his pokemons, the battle with Ash showed him what a true pokemon battle felt like. He had remained undefeated for such a long time that he forgot the excitement it brought to him from a pokemon battle. ______________________ While the inte is going crazy the leaguemittee is having a very tough time deciding what to do, they didn''t expect this to happen at all but on the plus side, this result brought even more attention to this year''s league. Themittee is currently sitting in the league headquarter''s meeting room trying to figure out what to do, they are looking at the stats on the screen, the screen disyed how well both trainers performed during the league, while Tobias had an undefeated streak with no loses till the semifinals, all his battle were very underwhelming that just ended in two to three minutes, while Ash did face some trouble but all his opponents were very strongpared to the ones Tobias faced and his battles were more enjoyable to watch as well. One had a very good record while the other had a lot of potential. Since this is not the finals or they would have dered both of them the winner and let the trainers handle the rest by themselves. As they were about to give up a ray of light brought them hope, the door opened and the light from the corridor hit their faces, they turned around and saw Cynthia walking in. "Champion Cynthia, help up, we are in trouble" One of the members said with a defeated voice. Cynthia "I understand what you all have been going through, luckily I was with Mr. Julian and asked him about the current situation and he proposed something" She said and chuckled. "What is it?" One of them asked curiously. Cynthia "Mr. Julian said he will face both of them in the finals if they win they can be crowned champion together and if he wins it''s like every other year" When the members of themittee heard this they were surprised, they never expected such a scenario to take ce but it seemed like a legit idea as they didn''t force Julian to do this, he himself told them to arrange this battle. After discussing it further anding up with the way this battle will take ce the league decided to go with Julian''s wish. Soon this information was posted on the league''s official site, as soon as the post was updated the inte went crazy once again, they saw both Ash and Tobias heading forward to the finals and they will face Julian together and if they win both of them will share the championship title. Some of the idiots who didn''t even read the whole post started to trash on the league for not being fair to Julian and how he has to face two people at once but they got ridiculed by other inte users and told them to read the whole post. In the post the league also exined that it was Julian who asked them to make this decision, seeing this the world once again started to discuss the finals of the lily of the valley conference. The finals this time is very different, it has never happened before, one versus two, people are excited to see this battle. On the post the rules are also specified to keep the battle fair, while Julian will be using all six of his pokemons, Ash and Tobias are allowed to only bring three pokemons. This will also be a double battle, while Julian uses two pokemon at once, Ash and Tobias will use one pokemon each. Seeing the new rules for the finals people are hoping for an epic battle with lots ofbination moves. Inside Ash''s room, he is looking at the post with his friends with excitement, he is happy that he made it to the finals but he is even happier that he will be battling alongside Tobias. Even Tobias is surprised by the post from the league but he is satisfied with it, after watching Julian battle he knew that he has no chance of winning but with teaming up with Ash, things can change and he hopes that he will be the one who defeated Julian along with Ash. Chapter 575 - Preparation For The Finals As the world saw the match that is going to happen in the finals of the Lily of the valley conference league, they got very excited, on one side there is Julian, time after time he has proven that he can start anew and win the whole league and on the other hand is the team of Ash and Tobias who had a spectacr battle between them in the semifinals, their battle imed by many people on the inte to be the best pokemon battle they had ever seen, few were skeptical but most of them agreed. This battle became viral around the world as it gained over a hundred million views on the inte and is growing at a rapid rate. ?? People started to wonder what Ash and Tobias are going to do in their battle against Julian, everyone knows that defeating Julian is something many trainers only achieve in their dream, even the strongest pokemon trainers in the world are unable to defeat him, the champion of Kanto and Jhoto lost to him, the champion of Hoenn also lost to him and people know that he will challenge the champion of Sinnoh soon after he wins the league. People were excited about this battle. _____________________ On top of a hill in the lily valley, Julian and his pokemons are training together, they are currently going through hell as Infernape is looking after their training, Julian is not taking this battle lightly because he might suffer some setbacks in this battle. Both Ash and Tobias have reached Elite level, maybe even stronger and their powerbined will be the battle Julian is hoping to face. Crystal who wanted to run away from the training was not spared as well when it tried to escape Infernape caught it by its tails, it turned around and showed its innocent big red eyes to soften Infernape but he didn''t deter at all. He forced Crystal to take part in the training as well, with Julian being there to train them the process when smoothly. _______________________ Somewhere else in the Lily valley Ash and his friends are going around in search of Tobias as they need to train ande up with a n if they want to defeat Julian, after asking around the trainers who are around the area, Ash finally found Tobias''s room. He knocked on the door but no one answered, he knocked again and this time the door opened slowly with a creaking sound, Ash and his friend felt an airy auraing from inside the room, Ash peeked in and saw a red eye staring at him from the other side which scared him causing him to fall back, the door fully opened and Tobias walked out with his Darkrai by his side. Ash got back to his feet and looked at Tobias, he noticed that Tobias had dark circles under his eyes indicating that he didn''t sleep for quite a while. Ash "Tobias, let''s go and train, we need to defeat Julian together" Ash said with excitement Tobias took his time and stared at Ash for a few seconds before signaling him and his friends to get in, Ash rushed inside with excitement followed by Brock and Dawn. As they entered the room they saw a lot of whiteboards and these boards were filled with strategies written all over them. there is also a big TV with Julian''s battle against Brian ying. Seeing the amount of research being done here Ash got excited and looked around, while Brock also took his time to go through all of them. Brock "You came up with all this in a day?" He asked Tobias. Tobias "Not a day, I have been nning this before the league itself, to defeat Julian is the only goal I have right now" He said. Brock "At least you have somethingmon with Ash I guess" He said and looked at Ash who is running around the room and looking at everything with no concerns about what the owner will think. Tobias "Ash" He called Ash out, Ash stopped and looked at Tobias. Tobias "Even though I don''t like the result of our battle, it is what it is, now we need to work together to defeat Julian and we need to battle together if we really want to defeat him" He said. Tobias is a very straight forward guy so he didn''t beat around the bushes, he wanted the win and he decided to go with the league''s setup, he usually battled alone but this time he decided to go with how things are going. Ash "Yes, let''s train together and take down Julian, I have been waiting to battle him for such a long time" Ash yelled in excitement. Tobias and Ash need to work together ande up with something if they really want to defeat Julian and they need to work fast a develop coordination between them, while Tobias is very technical with his battles, Ash is unorthodox, both of them teaming up can be a disaster if they don''te up with something or it could even be their chance to show the world that Julian can be defeated. _______________________ As Ash and Tobias started their training the world is waiting for this battle to happen fast as they cannot wait any longer, the excitement is killing them. The battle is in two days and the inte''s craziness is increasing, the bets ced on both side is rising at a rapid pace as well but this time it is not on the favor of Julian. Many people believe that Ash and Tobias can work together and defeat Julian, while Julian''s fans arepletely against them, they all bet on Julian even if they are poor, they bet one to ten poke dors which will be ten times the amount if Julian wins. The others who bet on Ash and Tobias will get double the bet money, with such a big event people expected this to happen. The merchants and shopkeepers who had gotten the permission to ce a stall near the grand stadium started to work hard as well as they need to sell a lot of things, they didn''t want to get sold out in the first hour itself, with the number of crowds that this battle is going to bring, people knew it will be a busy day. Many TV reporters are prowling around the trainer area to find Julian and interview him about his decision to battle bother Ash and Tobias but to his luck, he is not in his room, he is with his pokemons who are going under hell training, today will be the only day they will train and the two days they will be allowed to rest. Hell training is hard and Julian knows to never push something to the point where he can break it. With system by his side he knows when to stop, the whole day Infernape helped Julian train his pokemons for the finals of the Sinnoh league as Julian waits for the day with excitement. Chapter 576 - Time For The Finals The day of the finals is here and people have already lined up outside the Grand Stadium, these people quickly want to get inside the grand stadium and find a seat, since this is a huge battle, the league made some preparation to make the seating arrangement for the public even bigger, and the people who bought the tickets in this few days doesn''t have any assigned seats, so they want to rush in and quickly find a seat on the edges of the grand stadium where the extra seats have been ced. Seeing how people are rushing in the league had to assign a lot more guards at the entrance so that people don''t push around and start a stampede. ?? When Julian arrived at the grand stadium and saw the crowd he decided to take the back door but when he got there he suddenly got swarmed by TV and news reporters, Julian smiled awkwardly as he saw them, now that they have seen him he cannot escape. He stood there for five minutes and answered their questions before leaving by giving an excuse, after getting into his waiting room he closed his eyes and started to meditate, he still has a lot of time before the battle begins, he is three hours early but three hours is not much for Julian he can just meditate and pass the time. While Julian is meditating, Ash and Tobias still had to work on their teamwork, thest two days had a lot of ups and downs, their style didn''t match at all, they couldn''t perform anybinations or read each other but they got the hang of it after thinking about their goal, that is to defeat Julian. Having trained hard for the past two days they got the hang of it but they still need work, they are not perfect but they can go with their current state. Time passes by as more peoplee to the Grand Stadium, choppers start flying over the stadium to record the battle from above but the league didn''t allow them to do this as it is dangerous to fly above a battlefield, so these choppers were forced to record the battle from the sides, there are also a lot of drones flying around as they are being used to film the battle live. Since drones can be destroyed during a battlefield, they have multiple spare drones ready to take off as soon as one gets destroyed. The budget for this battle is huge, many mediapanies wanted the right to stream this battle on their channel for which the league made millions, even Julian''spany stepped in and gave permission to some otherpanies as they had the authority to do so because Julian is one of the participants of this battle. And the league didn''t try to y any games with them because they knew the influence that Julian''spany had on the world, their product was famous all around the world and pokemons loved the food they sell, they also started to expand into other fields as well as the size of the corporation grew at a rapid pace. As every second passed the crowd got louder and louder as they talked about this battle, they wanted to see how this will all y out, will it be just like any other battle that Julian was a part of where it was all one-sided or things will be totally different where Julian cannot keep up with two trainers simultaneously, this is not a normal street battle where the level of the trainer is low. This is the league and the final participants are as good as the elite four and maybe even better. This was a really challenge to Julian and his Sinnoh team who are not his strongest pokemons but that is what made this battle special. For the first time, people didn''t know if Julian is going to win or not. One hour remaining for the final battle and there is a concert currently being held right now, they cannot just let the audience sit on their seats for three hours or more with no entertainment, several singers were asked to perform today, some boy bands, some girl bands gave their performance while the crowd sang along with them. There were fireworks and a lot of noise, this year''s league is huge, the biggest Sinnoh has ever had, the amount of people watching this is way over the league''s expectations. Just to watch this battle over a hundred million people are sitting in front of their TV to watch it, this traffic that this event is bringing them will help the league for years. _____________________ Inside the other waiting room, Tobias and Ash are still discussing on which pokemon they should use, unlike Julian both of them can only use three pokemons, making it a team of six, while Julian will use six pokemons. They are still not sure which other pokemons Julian is going to use for the finals, they know he has more pokemon to spare, they also know that they have to look out for Julian''s Garchomp, Lucario and Victini as these three have been the most explosive pokemon in his team. Garchomp is way powerful for them to tackle him head-on, Lucario is way too technical for them to engage in a closebat battle and his Victini is a powerhouse who can destroy their whole team with a single V-Create. And Julian still has his other pokemons that they have no idea about, Manaphy has not shown its full potential, Rampardos is a hard hitter, Togekiss is fast a very defensive, Gliscor is a tank and Luxray is very nimble and agile. They know that they need to work extra hard to deal with even one of these pokemons so they have to give it their all during this battle. As they discuss this the time goes by and its time for them to battle. Chapter 577 - The Final Begins The sound of the crowd cheering gets louder as they wait for the finalist to enter the battlefield, today''s battle is the biggest battle the league has ever held and they are a little anxious about it, they don''t want anything to go wrong, they have re-enforced the defense of the grand stadium thrice than before as they know there will be massive explosions, they even increased the size of the battlefield so the pokemons have more ce to roam around. Ash and Tobias are inside their waiting room, waiting for their call, they can hear the crowd outside cheering loudly and by every second the sound increases, they didn''t have to wait long as a man in a ck suit came and inform them to stand by. ?? Ash and Tobias walked in front of a massive metal gate that will lead them to the battlefield, as they stand next to the gate, they can feel the energy from the crowd as they shout out their names to support them. They soon hear the announcer talking and they know that they are minutes away from entering the battlefield. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the day you all have been waiting for, today will be the most epic Pokemon battle ever held in the league''s history, today''s battle will be the most unique pokemon battle in pokemon league''s history as it is the first-ever two on one handicap battle between, the undefeated trainer Julian and the two semifinalists of this year''s league who ended up in a tie" The crowd cheered louder as they heard the announcer. Announcer "The wait is up, its time for POKEMON BATTLE, let''s wee our participants, first is a trainer from Pallet town, he has a reputation of never giving up, he has participated in multiple leagues around the regions, he is also the person who faced Julian in the finals of the Ever grande League, it''s Ash Ketchum and his partner today is the mysterious trainer who wiped out every opponent in his path in this year''s league with his ace Darkrai, its Tobias" As the announcer said this, the gate that Ash and Tobias are standing behind slowly opened revealing them, they both walked out and waved at the crowd as they cheered for both of them. Announcer "Next, the one who will be facing off against Ash and Tobias, he has remained undefeated his whole career as a pokemon trainer, never lost a single battle in his life, boasting power and technique like none other, the undefeated Julian" As the announcer gave his announcement, Ash and Tobias looked at the metallic door on the other side of the battlefield as it slowly opened, behind the white smoke they saw a tall silhouette of a person slowly walking into the battlefield. The crowd burst into a massive roar, his fame overtook everything, the crowd''s roar shook the massive stadium, his name is being repeated again and again, anyone present in front of the TV who is watching this feel goosebumps all over their body, this scene was grand, it was as if the mass was weing their king. Julian walked out and waved his hand at the crowd and took his position and looked at his opponents, for the first time he is having a battle against two powerful trainers in front of a massive crowd. Announcer "Today''s battle will decide once and for all if Julian can face the odds and defeat his opponents, he is the one who asked for this, will he show the world what he is capable of or will he fall today, will the teamwork of Ash and Tobias be able to y the undefeated trainer" Hearing the words of the announcer Julian wanted to cringe really hard, he hated words like this but he cannot show his emotions right now and he has bigger things to think about. Julian "I hope you both don''t disappoint me, the opponents I face till now were all mediocre, I asked for this battle because I thought it might spice it up a little" He said and chuckled. Hearing this Tobias reacted a little but he understood Julian is ying with his emotions, he has seen this many times, most of Julian''s opponent fall for this little provocation and lose from the very beginning and if they don''t fall for it, Julian will break them down piece by piece during the battle. In short, Julian is like a viin when ites to pokemon battle, he will obliterate his opponent''s mental state and make them feel weak in front of him but once the battle ends he goes back to normal. It was his trait, to be the superior in the field, even Julian doesn''t know the changes he goes through during the battle, these are very subtle and not many people have noticed but Tobias did. So he is prepared, he knows if he stops doubting his battling style even for a second he lost this battle, even with Ash by his side he will lose. And for Ash he has nothing to worry about, he never battled using his brain, he listened to his heart and guts, that is why he was so close to taking down Julian''s pokemon in the Ever grande conference. Tobias "Ash, let''s give him the best we can so he doesn''t look down on us" He said and looked at Ash, during these two days Ash and Tobias has be friends as they argued a lot then came to an understanding. Ash "Yes, we will defeat him and be the champions" Tobias nodded his head and smiled, he then looked at Julian with fierce and confidant eyes, saying that he is ready to battle. Julian just smiles and takes out two Pokeballs from his pouch, he is ready to take on the challenge. Chapter 578 - The Sinnoh Finals (1) The crowd''s voice overtook everything around the lily valley, once they lowered their voice the referee walked in and looked at both sides and started to exin the rules of his battle. Referee "This battle will be a two vs one handicap battle, trainer Ash and trainer Tobias are only allowed to use three pokemons each, while trainer Julian can use six pokemon for this battle, this battle is a double battle, both sides will use two pokemon at once, all trainers are allowed to switch pokemons during battle as well, the side to lose all six of their pokemons will lose this battle, the winner will be crowned champion of the Lily valley conference" ?? As the referee exined the rules both side nodded their heads agreeing to it. Referee "Now both sides may send their pokemon out" With the referee''s call both Ash and Tobias took out their Pokeball and tossed it up in the air, Tobias sent out Darkrai and Ash sent out Heracross. Julian smiled and tossed his pokeballs up in the air, he sent our Manaphy and Togekiss, he had already nned to start with them and to his luck, his opponents chose pokemons that he can tackle. His Togekiss has an advantage against both his opponents and her flying attacks will do a lot of damage on Ash''s Heracross, his Manaphy also knew a powerful Fairy-type move. With both sides choosing their pokemons the referee stepped in and asked the trainers if they rate ready, once he got the confirmation he signaled for the battle to start. The battle started within seconds, as Ash took charge with a powerful Mega Horn as his first attack, seeing Ash staring the battle Julian smiled and made his move as well. Julian "Manaphy use Ice Beam on Heracross" Manaphy sted a powerful Ice Beam on the charging Heracross but Tobias quickly stepped in. Tobias "Counter with your own Ice Beam" Darkrai sted its own Ice Beam to stop Manaphy''s Ice Beam and it gave Heracross enough time to reach Manaphy and as it was about to deliver the Mega Horn, Togekiss swooped in and took Manaphy high in the sky, even though Manaphy can float, it is not as fast as Togekiss. Heracross missed its target and stopped on its track. Tobias "Dark Void" Ash "Toxic" Darkrai sted a Dark Void at Togekiss and Heracross spit out a thick amount of poison at Manaphy. Since both attacks are slow they managed to dodge it and maintain their distance from their opponents. Right now Ash and Tobias are not panicking, it is going just as Tobias has nned, while Ash tries to pressure Julian he will be defending his pokemons anding up with a strategy. Ash continued to pressure Julian''s pokemon by attacking but he overestimated his Heracross''s stamina, while Julian''s pokemon are still not tired, they have been keeping a distance from their opponent and willnd an attack when their opponents least expect it. Seeing that Ash cannot keep attacking much longer, Tobias also stepped forward with his Darkrai and started to st barrage of attacks on Julian''s pokemon. Since they cannot avoid all attacksing towards them, they had to face them head-on, while Manaphy became the attacker, Togekiss became the shield, with her high Special Defense she could protect Manaphy from Darkrai''s powerful attacks. As the battle continued it became more heated, Ash''s Heracross started to go wild and unleash a barrage of powerful attacks that forced Togekiss to step back, seeing Togekiss in trouble, Manaphy stepped in and started to attack Heracross with Ice-type moves and pushed it back. While this happened Tobias noticed something, while Togekiss''s Special Defense is very high, she always tried to avoid any physical attacks from Heracross and tried to maintain a safe distance from it. On the other hand, Manaphy seems to be the aggressor and every time it got in trouble it would try to hide behind Togekiss to avoid serious damage. After seeing this Tobias came up with a n. Tobias "Darkrai in the ground, Ash, keep attacking Manaphy" Ash nodded his head and told Heracross to attack Manaphy with a powerful Aerial Ace since Manaphy cannot dodge this attack, it tried to take cover behind Togekiss but as it got close to Togekiss it felt something off, as it looked down it noticed that its shadow was weird. Suddenly Darkrai emerged out of Manaphy''s shadow and sted a Dark Void at Togekiss at point-nk range and it hit Togekiss which directly put her under a deep sleep. While all this happened Julian stayed calm, he wanted to see what the opposition has got and from what he has seen, they are really good, the toughest opponents he has faced till now. Tobias "Dream Eater" As Tobias was about to finish of Togekiss, he noticed something else, it was Manaphy, it rose up high in the sky and started to create a massive whirlpool, its power kept on increasing. Ash "Heracross, Mega Horn" Seeing the Whirlpool growing stronger Ash decided to attack right now because Manaphy is motionless, Heracross used its wings to fly towards Manaphy at high speed as its massive horn started to glow green, as Heracross was about to reach Manaphy the Whirlpool had reached the size it wanted. Manaphy then tossed the Whirlpool straight on top of Heracross who got caught by it, the Whirlpool then started toe down, knowing that his Darkrai cannot afford to take this attack Tobias decided to retreat, at the end of the day he only had three pokemons up his sleeve. Tobias "Under the ground once again" As the Whirlpoolnded on the battlefield it shattered and the waves took over the battlefield and everything got wet, while Heracross could be seen in the middle fainted. Like this, the first pokemon in this battle is down. Chapter 579 - A Close One As Heracross went down and Darkrai escaped the assault from that powerful Whirlpool from Manaphy, Julian got the chance to call Togekiss back to her Pokeball. He still had a lot of pokemons up his sleeve, he can bring Togekiss out of her sleep by telling Manaphy to use Heal Bell as it can cure all kinds of status conditions. ?? With Heracross down the referee made the call and the crowd cheered, even against the odds Julian was the first one to score a point but the battle is still not over. Ash called his Heracross back to its Pokeball and sent his next pokemon, Infernape, one of his strongest pokemons. Seeing who Ash sent out Julian smiled and took out another Pokeball and tossed it up in the air, Luxray came out of the Pokeball and roared while he suddenly set up an Electric terrain for his advantage. The battle started once again and Ash focused on Luxray while Tobias is trying to take out Manaphy, he knew that he cannot afford another one of those whirlpools or they will be in a serious disadvantage, this is a double battle, more strategy and thinking goes in this, if one lost too much pokemon, in the beginning, they will be put in a serious disadvantage. With Darkrai speeding up its attack and movements it forced Manaphy back but it is not easy to take control of the battlefield, just like Darkrai, Manaphy is a powerful legendary with exceptional stats all across the board. Tobias is now trying to confuse Julian by making him lose focus, he told Ash to battle Luxray separately while he and his Darkrai will take on Manaphy, he wanted to divide Julian''s attention and move in for the finish. Tobias knows how hard it is to concentrate on twopletely different battles at the same time, while he thinks this, he doesn''t know Julian can easily do it, he is exceptional, he is a cheat in this world because of the body he was given. He watched the battle without moving, many people thought that he was just watching and doing nothing, they thought that he is letting his pokemons decide what to do but Julian is instructing them in their mind with little words, he could see that Tobias is trying to divide his attention, many trainers would fall for this trick but he won''t. Other trainers might not be able to handle this and concentrate on a pokemon at a time which could lead to their defeat, that is why double battles are very rare. The battle between Manaphy and Darkrai is getting intense by every minute, the same could be said between Luxrai and Infernape, both of them are fast physical attackers so the shes between them were huge, one battle in the air and one battle on the ground. Julian would instruct them with his mouth sometimes to y around with his opponent''s mind and tell them to do something else and confuse them, this continued but Tobias and Ash kept on pushing. Tobias had predicted this as well, he had seen few battles of Julian in which he ordered a move but his pokemon used another move, he understood that Julian had some way tomunicate with his pokemons without speaking out loudly. So he never trusted the words that came out from Julian''s mouth, seeing how this battle is going Julian smiled, this battle was really hard for him Tobias was able to figure out what Julian is up to and came up with counters, these moves were either defensive or of normal typing as they are not weak against most typing. Julian "You have done you homework but it isn''t enough, time to put an end to this, Manaphy, use Waterfall" As soon as Manaphy heard Julian''s voice it rose up in the sky and started to glow blue, blue light shined everywhere as water started to form around it, soon there was a huge mass of water floating up in the air, seeing the attack Tobias knew he had to do something. Tobias "Darkrai, protect Infernape" Manaphy dove down with the massive body of water using Waterfall, Darkrai used Protect and floated right in front of Infernape to protect it from this attack, Infernape''s power is very important for them. As the water crashed into Darkrai''s Protect, it caused several cracks on it, as the pressure from the Waterfall started to increase Darkrai couldn''t hold it any longer and the water tore through the Protect and hit Darkrai but till the end, Darkrai protected Infernape and took all the hit. Darkrai is badly damaged from that attack, Manaphy''s attacks are no joke but as Tobias thought that is was over, he suddenly realized something and turned towards Luxray and saw him charging at Darkrai at incredible speed, he wanted to warn Darkrai but it was toote. Luxray pounced on Darkrai, his ws and fangs surrounded by massive volts of electricity dug into Darkrai causing it to roar in pain as it went down. Ash "Focus Punch" Suddenly Infernape made a move as well and sessfullynded a powerful Focus Punch on Luxray sending him crashing and rolling on the wet ground. Both Darkrai and Luxray seems to have fainted but as the referee was about to give the result he saw movement from Luxray, Luxray slowly got back to his feet but he is badly injured, he cannot continue or use even one move right now, that Focus Punch was really powerful. Luxray might be under the influence of a concussion, Julian saw this and was surprised, Ash made a move when he least expected it and his Luxray got hurt badly, he knew he cannot let Luxray might any longer, he knew Luxray won''t be able to stat even a normal tackle after this. After the referee announced Darkrai''s downfall, Julian returned Luxray back to his Pokeball, he is really happy with this battle, one of his pokemon has been put ina deep sleep and his other pokemon is in a state where he cannot battle. But he took out Darkrai, a serious concern for this battle and now his target is set on Ash''s Infernape, the real hard hitter of this battle. Julian "That was a close one, a little more power behind that attack and my Luxray would have fainted" He said and chuckled. Ash just grit his teeth, he knew his Infernape gave his all in that Focus Punch, only if ze was active, his Infernape could have put more speed behind the punch to make it more impactful but it is how it is. The battle must continue. Chapter 580 - Going All Out Both sides have lost pokemons, while Tobias and Ash can''t use their pokemon anymore, same could be said for Julian unless he heals Togekiss back to normal, his Luxray is in no shape to battle, that Focus punch really did a number on him, it was an unexpected attack from Ash but he had expected these attacks. He knew how unorthodox Ash can be so he has to prepare for attacks like that in the future. ?? Tobias''s Darkrai is down so he sent out his next pokemon, Tyranitar, while Julian also sent out his next pokemon reveling his fourth pokemon for this battle, Garchomp. As both monsters took their spot, the air around them got tense, both of them are Pseudo Legendary pokemon, both of them have a unique ck color scalepared to their species and are not even shinnies. Both of them are powerhouse as well, while Tyranitar is boasting very high defense, Garchomp''s attack is beyondparison. Both pokemon roared at each other as they sensed a natural rivalry against each other, Pseudo pokemons are such. When they encounter a pokemon that is as strong as them or a little difference in their power they need to battle it out to see who is superior. The Sinnoh skies are filled with the battle between Garchomp''s and Smence as they want to overtake the rich hunting ground, the same thing can be seen in Hoenn where the pokemons would be Smence and Tyranitar. These pokemons are big, powerful and aggressive by nature, when they encounter each other in the wild there will be a massive battle. They started to battle, every exchange they did cause the ground beneath them to shatter into pieces creating big craters on the battlefield. The winner of these exchanges was clearly Garchomp, he has too much power and speed behind his attackspared to the heavy tank that Tyranitar is, luckily for Tyranitar its Defense is really high and it can take those attacks but not for long, it will soon sumb to Garchomp''s relentless attacks. Every move from Garchomp are intended to take out Tyranitar, if not for Tyranitar countering them directly with its powerful Physical Attacks, it would have been destroyed under the barrage of attacks that Garchomp is doing. Tobias started to feel the pressure as he realized just how powerful Julian''s Garchomp is, being the strongest pokemon in his Sinnoh team, he boasts power that can destroy a whole city if he goes on a rampage, several elite trainers have toe together to stop him from causing any more damage. While Tobias is facing his own troubles against Julian''s Garchomp, Ash and Infernape are also having a hard time against Manaphy. Manaphy is really shining in this battle, in its previous battle it never got the chance to show the people what it can do but now, this whole battle has been under Manaphy''s hand. Ash''s Infernape is not able to keep up with Manaphy away from him, his attacks are doing little damage on it and its water type attacks are very powerful for Infernape to handle. Manaphy is too small for it tond any hit, with its ability to float it is able to maintain a safe distance from Infernape''s attack and then st water moves in it. Since Infernape is fast it is able to dodge most of Manaphy''s move but things like this won''t continue for long, Infernape will soon sumb to the assaults of Manaphy. Tobias''s strategy to divide Julian''s attention backfired on his, they alone cannot take Julian''s pokemon on their own, his pokemons are faster, more agile and stronger than their pokemon. Even if they have some hard hitters like Darkrai and Infernape things will not go how they imagine if they don''t work together, their n to divide and concur backfired. Tobias "Ash let''s attack together" As he said this he saw Julian''s Garchompnd a powerful Dual Chop on Tyranitar and sent it crashing into the ground, as Ash heard Tobias he called Infernape to back off and help Tyranitar. Garchomp got ready to move in for the finish with a Dragon Rush, his body got surrounded by pulsing dragonic energy, it was like blue mes taking over his, the blue mes them transformed into a shape of a Dragon and Garchomp rushed towards Tyranitar, seeing this Tyranitar tried to block the attack. Ash "Infernape, counter with re Blitz" Infernape rushed forward to intercept Garchomp and used re Blitz, this re Blitz was even more power than what Julian had seen before. Garchomp and Infernape shed with each other as the blue energy and the red mes tangled with each other, it then exploded creating a massive shockwave, the shockwave put a crack on the stadium''s defense but it was able to hold it. People Infernape sent flying out of the smoke after that sh, as the smoke cleared up everyone could see Garchomp still standing on his feet with no scratch on his body, he is just too powerful, Infernapended on its feet as it did a somersault but as soon as itnded the bacsh kicked in and it went to its knee, luckily it gave Tyranitar enough time to recover and get back to Infernape''s side and be its shield. Tobias "Ash, divide and conquer will not work, we have to battle together" He said and looked at Julian''s Garchomp and Manaphy, this battle is a lot harder now because Julian brought up his ace Garchomp who seems very though to handle and Manaphy has also shown how powerful it really is. Ash "I understand" Tobias "One move, let''s go all out, full power" Ash "Are you sure?" Tobias "Let''s do it, it''s our only chance to take out Julian''s Garchomp" Ash "Ok then, Infernape get ready". Chapter 581 - Fell Asleep? Tobias and Ash got ready to dish out their attacks, both of them asked their pokemons to back off and get into position so they can attack. Ash''s Infernape activated ze as it was on itsst amount of health, the ze made its fire type move a lot stronger while it increased his speed as well. ?? With the increased speed and power Infernape is ready to move, Tobias also gets his Tyranitar to take a step back. Ash "Infernape Close Combat full power" Tobias "Use Super Power" Infernape took charge and bolted towards Garchomp at full speed and sued Close Combat and right behind Infernape Tyranitar followed, as Infernape kept pressuring Garchomp bynding multiplebos, Tyranitar got enough time to get close to Garchomp and use Super Power. Tyranitar''s power increased several times as it brought down its massive hand on Garchomp. Julian "Manaphy, take care of Infernape" Infernape has dealt enough damage to Garchomp and pushed him back a little while he defended those kicks and punches, his rough scales helped a lot as it caused Infernape to back down early, the more Infernape tries to hit Garchomp the more his hands and legs would get scratched and hurt. Garchomp''s ability Rough Scale deals damage to his opponents when they try to physically attack him and Infernape took a huge risk and continued attacking Garchomp while it got hurt. Manaphy swooped in and sted a Water Gun at Infernape who dodged it by jumping to the side. While Infernape moved away Tyranitar got the chance to attack, its massive hands came crashing down on Tyranitar as its strength had gone exceptionally up by using Super Power. Julian "Garchomp counter it with Dragon ws" As Tyranitar''s massive hand defended downwards on Garchomp, Garchomp used Dragon ws and shed at the massive hand, the first Dragon w was not ver effected so Garchomp tried again with a second one but Tyranitar got through that as well andnded the hit right on top of Garchomp''s head. As the contact was made a huge explosion used causing smoke to fly everywhere and the whole stadium vibrated as people in the crowd could see the ends of cracks spreading around the dust area, they could tell that the ground waspletely destroyed. As the smoke cleared up both pokemons could be seen still standing, Garchomp''s leg was deep inside the ground while Tyranitar''s hand were on top of Garchomp''s head, Tyranitar slowly backed down as it gripped its hand due to the pain it just suffered, Garchomp''s ability did a number on it. There is smokeing off of Garchomp''s head as he res angrily at Tyranitar, this reminded him of his humiliating defeat against his own senior, Julian''s Tyranitar. Garchomp pulled out its legs and charged at Tyranitar using Dragon Rush as he heard Julian''s voice inside his head. On the other side of the battlefield, Infernape is not able to keep up with Manaphy as Manaphy is continuously attacking Infernape with water type attacks but in the process, it is getting very tired, Infernape is in itsst struggle and Manaphy''s stamina is down low. Any one of them can win over the other if theynd the hit first. Ash "Infernape, now is our chance, use re Blitz" Ash wanted to end this with re Blitz, even though Manaphy resist Fire Type attacks it in not in perfect condition to deal with it, even though it has not taken any significant damage, it has used a lot of its energy and it is not tired. Julian "Water Pulse" As Infernape charges at Manaphy using re Blitz, Manaphy sts a powerful Water Pulse at Infernape, as the two attacks sh, Infernape tears right through the Water Pulse with its re Blitz as the Water Pulse turn into vapor but the re Blitz has be weak. Infernape gets really close to Manaphy and is about to touch it when Manaphy creates another Water Pulse right between it and Infernape. They sh and a massive explosion rue, the shockwave sends rubble rolling on the battlefield and the water vapors slowly rise up in the sky through the smoke, the crowd then see Infernape fall down on the ground from the smoke as it has fainted. And when the smoke clears up everyone can see Manaphy slowly loading down andnds on Infernape, its eyes closed but it isn''t knocked out, it fell asleep after exerting itself. ______________________ As Garchomp used Dragon Rush from a close range Tyranitar had no choice but to take it head-on. Tobias "Counter with Hammer Arm" As Tyranitar heard Tobias, it lifted its arm to deliver a Hammer Arm but it froze as the stinging pain from hitting Garchomp on the head and damaging itself red up, Garchomp then crashed right into Tyranitar''s stomach as the dragon made of blue energy mmed its jaws shut on Tyranitar creating another massive explosion. This time the shockwave even went past the first barrier of the stadium by shattering itpletely which caught many people by surprise. Tyranitar got sent flying out of the battlefield and it crashed against the wall and fainted, to st such a massive pokemon out of the battlefield is no joke but Garchomp did it. Referee "Both Tyranitar and Infernape is unable to battle, Manaphy and Garchomp win". Chapter 582 - Unexpected Entry Even though the referee announced the result in Julian''s favor, he didn''t agree with it, to be able to exhaust Manaphy to sleeping is massive, he thought he would be able to take this whole battle with Manaphy and Garchomp alone but Manaphy got tired and fell asleep. With this Julian has there pokemon down in his mindset, he calls Manaphy back to its Pokeball and smiles at it. ?? Julian "You did great today" He said and put the Pokeball away, the crowd then started to cheer for Manaphy for his amazing performance, just like Victini people became huge fans of Manaphy as well. Julian looked at Ash and Tobias as he waited for them to make their next move, just like Julian someone else is watching them as well. Ash and Tobias looked at each other and nodded their head, till now they have done good but they need to do better if they want to bring Julian''s pokemon down. Tobias took out his Pokeball while Ash looked at Pikachu by his side, Tobias sent out Latios and Ash sent his Pikachu. Both of them took their stance on the battlefield, ready to battle as they waited for Julian''s next pokemon, Julian decided to continue with Garchomp as he still can do a lot, maybe end this battle all alone. Julian took out his next Pokeball and was ready to throw it when he felt a nudge on his chest, he looked down on his pocket and saw Crystal staring at him with its big cute eyes. Julian "You want to battle?" He asked surprised, he had never seen Crystal willing participate in a battle, this was the first time. If there is no Moo-Moo milk involved after the battle Crystal would never want to battle. Julian "Ok go ahead then" Julian said and smiled awkwardly. Julian ''Looks like this battle is going to end earlier than I expected'' He thought as he saw Crystal floating out of his pocket and entering the battlefield and sitting on top of Garchomp''s head while giggling with its hands over its mouth. As the crowd saw this little cute pokemon with two tails and big eyes, they started to go crazy as they had never seen anything so cute before. Even the announcer went crazy. Announcer "Oh my god, what is that? what pokemon is that? I have never seen anything like this before, is this an unknown species that is not known to the world, where did trainer Julian find it?" There were so many questions all over people''s minds. On the other side of the battlefield, Tobias frowned as he saw the little pokemon on Garchomp''s head, he could tell that his pokemon was quite simr to the legendary pokemon Mew, the ancestor of all pokemons but it was different, with two tails and a red crystal on its head, it was not Mew. Ash "Crystal?" As Tobias heard Ash he turned around and looked at Ash. Tobias "Do you know this pokemon?" He asked curiously. Ash "I have seen it few times before, whenever I saw it, it was always ying or eating, I have never seen it battle" Ash said. He has seen Crystal before but never properly talked or interacted with it so he has no knowledge about it. Tobias "I don''t have any data regarding this Crystal, this might be a very hard battle, be ready" While Tobias and Ash are getting ready to battle, Crystal is looking around the grand stadium clueless with its big eyes, it is Crystal''s first time entering a grand stage and it felt confused. ____________________ In the crowd, people are going crazy over how cute Crystal is, they even created a fan page for it in an instant and there are already thousands of followers. There are even some people talking trash on Julian for letting this little cutie battle, someone was even bold enough to start a petition to let Crystal watch from the sidelines so it doesn''t have to battle even though the battle has already started. If Julian knew what just happened in this five minutes between him agreeing to let Crystal battle and to the current second, he would have fainted from the inte''s response. Most people really wanted to see what this little cute pokemon can do, people thought that Pikachu is small but Crystal is half the size of Pikachu, only its tails are long. Looking at how the crowd is reacting to Crystal Julian just smiled, he knew this would happen, even he fell for Crystal''s cuteness when it hatched out of its egg, there was no way these normal people coulde out unscathed from Crystal''s cuteness. Even Tobias is being effected but he doesn''t know, he doesn''t want to hurt Crystal bad at all. Referee "Continue the battle" The Referee gave the signal and the battle continued, Crystal just sat on top of Garchomp''s head ready to battle, it showed a determined expression which made it look even cuter causing the crowd to go wild as they saw its face on the big screen on the grand stadium. Julian didn''t know what to do at all, he had expected a reaction but this was bigger than he expected. Ash "Pikachu use ThunderBolt" But Ash is Ash, he is the only one who is not affected by Crystal''s cuteness, Pokemon battle tops everything for Ash and he is currently in a battle. Julian "Crystal, use ThunderBolt as well" Crystal mewed and floated up while using ThunderBolt, both ThunderBolt collided causing a massive rumble in the air, the collision created so much heat that the air split and the rumble of thunder caused everyone to cover their ears. Crystal''s ThunderBolt then tore through Pikachu''s ThunderBolt and hit him but Pikachu is not affected due to his ability Lightning Rod. The crowd became silent after this because they realized that this little cutie is not just for show, it has a powerful attack as well, to tear through the same element attack is very rare but Crystal did it. Tobias ''This is bad''. Chapter 583 - What Typing? As Tobias saw Crystal''s power he knew this is going to be one tough battle that he has very little chance of winning, this little pokemon that could fit in the palm of his hand can deal a lot of damage and he doesn''t like it. Little does he know that Crystal is even worse than he thinks, with the ability to change typing with just a thought, Crystal is immune to most of his attacks. ?? This will be a very one-sided battle and Julian knows it but there is no way he could refuse Crystal''s request no matter how absurd it is. Crystal is just too cute to be ignored. The battle continued as Tobias began his attack, he ordered his Latios to st a Dragon Pulse and Crystal, the Dragon Pulse Latios released tore through the air as it headed towards Crystal. Seeing how small Crystal is Tobias decided to push it back and get a good position over it, being small made a pokemon weightless so even if an attack didn''t hurt them, it could push them back if it has enough power behind it. Julian "Garchomp, use Dragon Pulse as well" Garchomp roared and sted a powerful Dragon Pulse to counter Latios''s Dragon Pulse, as both attacks collided they tried to break through each other but the power behind both attacks seems to be the same, neither one is gaining an advantage over the other. Ash "Pikachu, assist Latios with ThunderBolt" Pikachu charged up a strong lightning bolt in his cheeks and sted it towards Garchomp''s Dragon Pulse, the ThunderBolt started to go around Latios''s ThunderBolt with extreme speed and closed with Garchomp''s Dragon Pulse and both were able to push Garchomp back. Julian "Crystal use Dragon Pulse as well" Suddenly Crystal sted a powerful Dragon Pulse, even stronger than Garchomp''s and Latios, the Dragon Pulse thenbined with Garchomp''s Dragon Pulse and tore through thebination of Pikachu''s and Latios''s attack. Tobias/Ash "Dodge" Both ordered at the same time. Both Latios and Pikachu moved out of the way and let the massive Dragon Pulse hit the ground, this made a deep angr hole in the ground, nobody knows how deep this hole goes, when people look inside it, they only see darkness. But what was even more surprising then anything else is that Crystal could use Dragon Pulse as well, very few pokemons beside Dragon types can use Dragon Pulse some of these pokemons need to have a Dragon origin as well, like Gyarados, Tyranitar and Milotic, research has been done on these pokemons and scientists have found traces of Dragon DNA inside them which allows then to use Dragon-type moves. So this was very surprising. This little one has just entered the field and it is already causing problems to Tobias and Ash, Tobias doesn''t know what to do with this. Julian "I won''t wait around then, let''s finish this, Crystal use Dig" Crystal suddenly burrowed down on the ground causing Tobias a lot of headaches, he couldn''t tell what type is Crystal, by now it has used three moves ofpletely different typing, it didn''t help him at all, the best he can do right now is attack with a Normal Type attack as a safe bet. But right now he cannot use it as Crystal is inside the ground. Tobias "Latios use Earthquake" Julian "Not so fast, Garchomp, use Dragon Rush on Latios" Before Latios could even use Earthquake to damage to Crystal, Garchomp moved with extreme speed using Dragon Rush, Tobias had no choice but to counter Garchomp instead of attacking Crystal Tobias "Counter with Zen-Headbutt" Latios cried and charged at Garchomp as its body got covered with Psychic energy, on one side there is a Psychic missile and on the other side there is an Energy dragon. Ash "Pikachu, help Latios, use Iron Tail" Julian "Ash your Pikachu''s opponent is Crystal, now" Before Pikachu could even get in front of Garchomp and intercept him with an Iron Tail, Crystal sted out of the ground and hit Pikachu hard which sent him flying in the air, the hit dealt massive damage as Pikachu is weak to Ground Type attacks. Julian "Finish Pikachu off with Bulldoze" Crystal covered itself with earth energy and charged at the flying Pikachu. Ash "Pikachu, Iron Tail" As Pikachu was still in the air, he used his tail to straighten himself and did a turn in mid-air while using Iron Tail to counter Crystal. Both attacks shed and it created a massive thunder of a sound, Pikachu was once again sent flying backward while Crystal was pushed back as well. Julian "Crystal use Aqua Ring" Crystal then used Aqua Ring and surrounded itself with a veil of water which started to heal its injury which it got from its exchange with Pikachu. One the other side of the battle both Garchomp and Latios crashed into each other as well which created a huge explosion and another massive explosion followed right behind it, the ground beneath them shattered in fragments and spread like a web of a spider, the battlefield was already in very bad shape and now its not even a battlefield anymore, it looks like a very rough mountain path, the lines on the battlefield have beenpletely wiped out and nothing is visible except burnt marks and rubble all over the ground. This battle has cost a lot of the league so they can repair this battlefield. Chapter 584 - Invincible Crystal While Pikachu suffered a lot from that exchange Crystal is good as new with not even a scratch on its body, that is why Julian never used Crystal in a battle, it was just him bullying his opponents. Crystal is his strongest Sinnoh pokemon but it doesn''t like to battle, it was not interested in it at all, the only thing that could win over Crystal''s interest is a bottle of Moo-Moo milk and a mischief adventure with his favorite big brother Gengar who is passing down his knowledge to it. ?? Back to the battle, the sh between Garchomp and Latios went as Julian expected, Latios got sted away while Garchomp still maintained his position. When ites to physical power no one can rival Garchomp at the same level, he might be even able to push back Julian''s Tyranitar if they are at the same level. Latios gets sted back but it quickly does a turn in mid-air and gets back to position, Tobias''s biggest worry right now is Crystal, he wanted to figure out Crystal but it was all useless. He just saw Crystal using Water Ring and healing itself after taking minor damage from Pikachu''s Iron Tail. Tobias decided that he will target Crystal while he let Ash Handle Garchomp. Tobias "Ash switch ces with me, you take on Garchomp while I will try to figure out how to deal with that little one" He said and made his Latios go after Crystal. Ash asked Pikachu to attack Garchomp with Quick Attack, with Pikachu''s speed Garchomp had no way of dodging this attack so he took it head-on by using his fins as Armor. Pikachu pushed Garchomp back but that was all, Pikachu is a very bad match for Garchomp, he is a ground type pokemon, he is immune to most of Pikachu''s powerful Thunder type attacks and other attacks that Pikachu knows won''t do much to Garchomp either. Ash "Pikachu use ThunderBolt" Hearing Ash Pikachu used ThunderBolt but it did zero damage to Garchomp but that was not Ash''s strategy, as Pikachu used ThunderBolt it destroyed the ground below them causing dust to fly everywhere blinding both of them. Ash ''Now use Iron Tail" Pikachunded on the ground and did a side turn while using Iron Tail so he could attack Garchomp''s legs and he is sessful. Pikachunds a powerful Iron Tail on Garchomp''s leg causing him to roar in pain and back off. Ash "Now use Brick Break" As Pikachu has the lower ground his vision is far better in the dusty cloud, he charged at Garchomp and flung his tail at Garchomp''s stomach using Brick Break, his tail was covered in fighting aura and hended another hit on Garchomp, right on his stomach which caused Garchomp to back down again. Seeing that Ash is doing very well against Garchomp Tobias sighed in relief and fully concentrated on Crystal. Tobias "Latios, use Psychic" Latios sted a powerful Psychic st at Crystal but what he saw next surprised him, the Psychic didn''t do anything to Crystal. Tobias ''Is it a dark type?'' He questioned and called out another attack. Tobias "Use Fury Cutter" Latios charged at Crystal using Fury Cutter but as they made contact Crystal was just pushed back with very little damage, Crystal used Aqua Ring again and healed up. Tobias "What?" He eximed as he didn''t under this at all, little did he know that Crystal changed its typing before the attack could even hit it, from it changed into dark type to avoid the Psychic and then turned into Rock Type to resist the weak Fury Cutter. All this happened but it seemed like Crystal hasn''t even started to battle yet, it is still flying around in the sky giggling as it saw the expression of the people watching it. Even the crowd is surprised by this little one they didn''t understand what is happening at all. Julian "Crystal, let''s end this, use Teleport then Dragon w" Crystal suddenly teleported right on top of Latios and then shed its tiny hand at Latios''s head which is covered with a massive amount of Dragon Aura which looks like a massive dragon w, the aura from this attack seemed even purer than most dragon type attacks done by a dragon type pokemon. Latios got hit hard and it went down crashing on the ground with no resistance, as it crashed on the ground it tried to get back to the sky but Crystal once again teleported right on top of Latios and hit it with a point-nk Dragon Pulse which ended the deal. Latios got knocked out. One the other side of the battlefield, as the dust cleared up everyone could see Garchomp holding onto his stomach tightly after taking a Brick Break from Pikachu, he red at Pikachu and waited for Julian. Julian "Garchomp, its time to end this as well, Dragon Pulse" Garchomp sted a powerful Dragon Pulse at Pikachu but Pikachu jumped up to dodge it as he heard themand from Ash, that is when Pikachu suddenly saw Garchomping straight towards him with his jaws wide open, Dragon energy covered his whole body as he used Dragon Rush, a massive energy dragon appeared and chomped down on Pikachu sting him away. Pikachu crashed on the ground and rolled several times on the round shattered ground which dealt a lot of damage but Ash''s Pikachu didn''t go down. As soon as it got back to his feet he saw another Dragon Pulse got shot at him, this time he couldn''t;t dodge it and got hit, once again he got sted and the same thing happened, he crashed on the ground and rolled several times on the rough battlefield. But Pikachu still got back to his feet huffing and puffing, very little energy left but he still wants to go all out. Ash "Pikachu, let''s go, Volt Tackle" Pikachu collected a massive amount of energy in his body and charged at Garchomp, people didn''t understand what Ash was doing, in their eyes, he was just wasting Pikachu''s energy. But Julian didn''t think so, he knew Ash is thinking of something stupid but effective so he didn''t back down. Julian "Dragon Rush, full power" Garchomp''s roar shook the stadium as he charged at Pikachu, a massive energy dragon covered his body, as the two pokemons got closer to each other and there was no way of dodging each other, Ash made his move. Ash "Now, Iron Tail" Pikachu suddenly put all of his energy in his ground legs causing his legs to get dug deeper into the ground which caused it to shatter a fly everywhere, some rocks flew at Garchomp''s Dragon Rush but they got disintegrated as soon at they came in contact with the Dragon Rush. Pikachu then transferred all his built-up energy from Volt Tackle to his tail and turned very fast. The power from Volt Tackle and the sturdiness from the Iron Tail, both attacksbined for a very strong attack. Both of them shed and it created such a massive explosion that it went right through the first protectionyer of the stadium, then shattered through the second and finally stopped at the third but it got cracked very badly. People who were sitting very next to the protectiveyer got scared shit as they thought that the explosion is going to hit them. As the smoke cleared up everyone''s jaw is hanging down, first, there were at least the remains of the battlefield but now there is nothing, just a massive crater that starts from Julian''s side and ends at Ash and Tobias''s. Chapter 585 - The End Of The Sinnoh League This shocked everyone, even Julian, he is looking at the disaster that he and Ash just created, inside the crater, he can see his Garchomp still standing on his feet, there are scratches all over his body. He is hurt but Ash''s Pikachu has fainted but that didn''t matter to Julian at all. ?? He has never seen something so ridiculous before, Julian prided himself in making his Infernape perform two different moves as one singlebined move, only his Infernape could do it. He tried training his other pokemons into doing so but everyone failed, even Crystal but now he saw the same thing being performed right in front of his eyes by Ash and his Pikachu. Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, who could havee up with such a blizzardbination other than Ash. The whole crowd is silent as they cannot process what just happened. Suddenly everyone heard a burst ofughter, all of them turned their head and looked at Julian as they saw himughing. This was the first time they saw himughing like this. Hisughter broke the silence and people finally got back to their senses and realized what just happened, Julian won but this waspletely overshadowed by the sh between him and Ash. The referee collected himself and gave the announcement. Referee "Latios and Pikachu are unable to battle, Garchomp and Ummm... Crystal wins" With the referee''s call, the crowd burst into cheers as they shouted Julian''s name. Announcer "There you have it, everyone, the undefeated trainer is still undefeated" Crystal floated down towards Garchomp and used Heal Pulse and healed himpletely, it then went towards Pikachu and healed him as well, it then healed Latios. Now all four pokemon are back to perfect health. Crystal giggled seeing the surprised face of Pikachu and Latios, it then floated back towards Julian and went into his pocket and fell asleep with a small but very long yawn. Julian walked towards Ash with a bring smile on his face, Ash stood there holding Pikachu in his hand. Ash "Julian" Julian "Ash, do you remember how you performed thatst attack of yours?" He asked curiously, hearing Julian even Tobias came forward as he wanted to understand thatst move as well, he was also very surprised when he saw that. Ash "Umm... I don''t remember, I just went with the flow and trusted Pikachu, hahaha, it was like bam then boom, how do I exin it?" Ash said and started to scratch his head while his Pikachu looked at him as he tried to figure it as well. Hearing the answer Tobias almost tripped but Julianughed loudly, he expected this from Ash. Ash "Why are youughing?" Julian "Nothing, next time we battle, looks like I have to use my old pokemons to face you, not a new team, hahahaha" He said and patted Ash''s shoulder, he then looked at Tobias and nodded at him, he acknowledged Tobias as a powerful trainer, to be able to bring down three of Julian''s pokemon was something very huge, of course in an official record it doesn''t seem like that as two of them fell asleep and one of them got very tired and unable to continue but in Julian''s eyes, it did, the team of Tobias and Ash did it, they gave him the battle he expected and thatst exchange with Ash gave him chills. Julian then left with Garchomp by his side while the whole stadium is still cheering for him, the crowd also cheered for Ash and Tobias as they put up the best battle in the league''s history. Tobias looked at Ash and remembered what Julian just said to him, that he will have to use his old pokemons next time to battle Ash. Tobias understood that Ash will continue to grow stronger, forcing Julian to use his real aces as well. Tobias became determined. Tobias "Ash" He called him out. Ash turned around and looked at Tobias. Tobias "Next time we meet we will be rivals and our battle will not end up in a draw, it will be my victory" Ash "Dream on, I will win our next battle" Tobias "I understand, then master that new move of yours, next time you will need it against me" Tobias said and walked away as well. Ash "I promise, I will" Ash said with determination. With this, the Sinnoh League ended with Julian''s title as the undefeated trainer still added to his name and the third league cup to his name. After the battle ended the program didn''t after this several big movie stars and singers came to perform to entertain the massive crowd. The programsted till 7 Pm and then the crowning ceremony started, with third ce going to Brian, this was the first league where a battle to decided the third ce didn''t happen. Second ce directly went to both Ash and Tobias, both of them got different cuts but they were designed the same. And thest crowning of the day, Julian, he walked up the tform where he saw the tiny Charles Goodshow and his beautiful girlfriend Cynthia who gave him his trophy. Charles "Everyone, give a round off apuse to this year Sinnoh League''s champion, trainer Julian". With the announcement, fireworks flew up the sky and burst spelling "CONGRATULATIONS". Chapter 586 - Challenge To The Whole World As the fireworks flew up the sky the crowd watched it with excitement, even Crystal came out of Julian''s pocket and sat down on top of his head and looked at the fireworks with amazement. As the fireworks ended the attention was back to Julian and the tiny little fellow on top of his head. ?? The reporters and people of the media pointed their cameras at Julian like a sniper pointing their rifle at their victim. Julian smiled at them and waited for their questions. This was now normal to Julian, even though he likes to avoid the media, it''s better to sometime appear in front of them and answer their questions so that he won''t get hunted by them all over the region. Julian could hear them shouting his name for his attention so they can answer their question. He looked around at pointed at the reporter so he can ask his question, seeing that Julian is pointing at him the reported got excited and quickly presented his question. Reporter "Mr. Julian, who is that little fellow on top of your head, it is a new pokemon species?" This was the biggest question everyone wanted to ask. Julian smiled and looked at the reporter while taking Crystal in his hand. Julian "This little one is Crystal, I found a pokemon egg in the wild as I travel a lot, I nurtured the egg till it hatched and this fellow came out" He answered. Reporter "Why the name Crystal, do you know what species it is?" Julian "Well, this little guy has a red crystal on its head so the name Crystal, as for the species I have no idea" He said with a smile, that is all he had to answer, he can let the world decide what to do with it. Julian then moved to other reporters so they can ask their questions as well, he pointed at ady who is eagerly jumping in the front to grab his attention. Julian "You" He pointed at her which made her excited and she shot her question. Reporter "Mr. Julian there are rumors that your are in a rtionship with our champion Cynthia? Is it true?" She asked. Hearing the question Julian almost chocked, he then turned around to look at Cynthia who is red after hearing it, he smiled and turned back to the reporter. Julian "Yes" When the world heard this, they went silent for a second before bursting into an uproar, many guys who were fans of Cynthia had their heartbroken and started to curse at Julian. Fan 1"Hey you bastard, you already have two beautiful women in your life, why did you take out Cynthia, how can someone be so greedy?" Fan 2 "You bastard, give back out precious champion to us" Julian could hear these faint curses at him from the crowd but he just had the urge tough but didn''t, the one who is the most surprised his Cynthia and Charles, Cynthia couldn''t believe that Julian just agreed to their rtionship in public. While Cynthia was happy, Charles was even happier, Julian was a slippery bastard who didn''t want anything with the league but now he said that he is in rtionship with Cynthia, this also means that Julian is indirectly connected to the league as well, they won''t have any power over him but with Cynthia''s help, they can bring him to their side. Julian knows what the old bastard is thinking but it didn''t matter to him. Cynthia always felt a little sad that her rtionship with Julian is a secret while Chloe and Daisy are open to the world but now she felt really happy. Brock who was standing beside Ash was also crying. Brock "How can a person be so good at getting girls, I need to learn this skill, I will acknowledge Julian as my master, learn from him and make my own harem filled with nurse Joys and officers Jennies" Soon he got silenced by his Croagunk. As the reporter got the answer to her question she felt satisfied and let the others have a chance. Julian then pointed at anotherdy reporter who is also jumping around for his attention. Reporter "Mr. Julian, what do you think of this battle, as always you are undefeated, did it feel any different?'' Julian "It was the hardest battle I ever had in my life, this shows that both Ash and Tobias are very good pokemon trainers but if I have to be honest, it was not a hard battle but a really exciting one" Reporter "Do you ever think you will get challenged by someone who can match you in every aspect" Julian "I don''t know, but I have an announcement to make" He said and turned towards the camera. Julian "Every trainer out there in the world, if you think you are stronger than I,e and face me, I don''t want some delusional person iming to be the strongeste and challenge me then get defeated with seconds, I am talking to the real experts out there, my next destination is Unova and I will be participating in the league,e and challenge me, prove to me that there are trainers a lot stronger than what I have faced till now" As Julian made his announcement to the world, it caused a huge uproar, powerful trainers from several parts of the world watched this and now they set their destination to Unova. The person that is said to be the strongest trainer in history has not challenged the whole world so how could prideful strong trainers just back down. Unova will be in an uproar. Chapter 587 - Challenging The Elite Four While Julian is spending some quality time with Cynthia all alone in the mountains for their lover vacation, the whole world is talking about the challenge that Julian made to the whole world, it was like throwing a stone in the beehive. Many people came forward and boasted that they could defeat Julian on the inte but Julian''s fans shut them up by roasting them very hard. ?? Unova was also in chaos, many trainers who live in Unova heard that Julian ising to Unova to participate in the league and this made the trainers nervous. Every league that Julian has participated, he has won, everyone knows that Julian will catch and train new pokemons this year as well and trainers living in Unova are already starting to prepare for the league. Till now none of them were worried about the league as they thought it was the same as every year, people wille and enjoy the battles till someone gets crowned as the champion. But with Julian''s announcement things changed, the Unova League is going to be the biggest league because of the challenge he put out to the world, trainers from all over the world are going toe to Unova so they can challenge Julian and defeat him. And this was happening, many trainers who heard about this challenge already started to get ready for the Unova League, some decided to do the same as Julian and train new pokemons while some decided to go with their old ones. Training a new pokemon and making it a league worthy participant is easy but to break through the limit and making them strong enough to take down an elite level trainer is hard, that is why many people fail to win against a champion, they can get there pokemon to a level to participate in the league by defeating the eight gyms but winning the league is hard and defeating the elite four is even harder. The thought about defeating the champion is like a taboo to a knew trainers, trainers train their pokemons for years before they are strong enough to win the league and challenge the Elite Four and if they do get through the big four, they have to face the Champion, the strongest trainer in the region. Taking down a Champion is the hardest thing a trainer can do, some Champions never get defeated at all, they remain the champion till their retirement. But this time Unova League will be different, Julian threw a stone at a ho nest, now a bees nest, he provoked the hidden experts who had monsters by their side and seeing how strong Julian really is they got excited. These trainers decided to head towards Unova without giving it a second thought. While the world is getting ready for the Unova league which is not even close to happening they are still excited, on the other hand, Julian is having a good time with Cynthia. Daisy and Chloe also came to Sinnoh to spend time with him as he is free now, Julian with his three girlfriends spent months on a vacation ind. But this vacation has toe to an end and Julian still has to do something before leaving Sinnoh, it is to challenge the Elite Four and then his own Girlfriend. Since he is the winner of the League Conference he needs to challenge the elite four as the public is waiting for it, whenever Julian goes online he can only see questions about when he will challenge the Elite Four. He had to get this done so he issued his challenge and the league started to arrange these battles. All these battles will be held around Sinnoh''s four big cities, these four cities are Sunyshore City, Eterna City, Hearthome city, Jubilife City. As the word got out that Julian has issued the challenge and where these battles will be held, people got excited and started to buy the tickets for these matches. These are all official matches held by the league, not some ordinary exhibition battle. Julian is currently in Eterna City as it is where the first battle is going to take ce, his opponent is Aaron, the bug type Elite Four, the only member of the Elite Four that uses bug type pokemons, bug type pokemons are known to be weak if it''s their stand-alone typing, and they need a very good secondary typing for them to stand out, for example, Scizor. It has a steel type as a secondary typing as it gives it a lot of resistance but it is four times weak to a fire type attack but it doesn''t matter, with a steal typing it got a lot of resistance which is very useful for a pokemon that is used in a pokemon battle. Aaron is the only bug type gym Elite Four member who is known for his bug type pokemons, in the history of the league there has never been a trainer who reached the level of the Elite Four with only bug type pokemons but Aaron did it and he is not even twenty. He is a real prodigy when ites to pokemon training and Julian is ready to face this young man. He doesn''t expect much from the Elite Four because his battle in the finals of the league was much more challenging than some Champions Julian has faced. His only goal is to battle Cynthia and see how strong she has really gotten, till now they never battled against each other because they wanted to do it in the grand stadium as millions of people watched in their TVs and thousands of people watch them live. Chapter 588 - Near The End Of Sinnoh Journey The day of the first battle was here as the crowd cheered for Julian''s win, Julian stood on one side of the battlefield while his opponent Aaron on the other side. This is a five versus five pokemon battle and both of them have already chosen their first pokemon. ?? Julian knows that not all of Aaron''s pokemon is a bug type, he has one pokemon that is not a bug but it knows bug type moves, a very powerful Drapion, even though Drapion is not a bug type pokemon, it looks like one and it has the DNA of a bug type pokemon, but the poison and dark type DNA in its body is more, hence it is a Poison/Dark pokemon. Julian started with Rampardos while Aaron started with his Yanmega, Julian clearly has the advantage as his Rampardos is a rock type. The first exchangested for five minutes before Rampardos delivered a powerful Head Smash and smashed the bug in front of him. Next Arron sent out his Scizor, Julian called Rampardos back and sent out Togekiss to deal with it, Julian wanted to use most of his pokemons during these battles so they have enough experience when they face Cynthia. Julian expects a hard battle from her. Togekiss won the battle easily by bulling the Scizor using Mystical Fire over and over again. The next round was between Heracross and Luxray, one is a powerhouse and the other is a speedster, of course, Luxray won by digging his ws and fangs deep into that massive horn of Heracross and sted it with a massive amount of electricity till it fainted. The fourth round is between Vespiquen and Lucario, Lucario used a duel end sword which has des on both sides of the hilt to take care of her opponent, with her skills there was no way a Vespiquen could defeat her. Aaron is on hisst pokemon and Julian is still with no loss, this showed that even at the Elite level Julian is still the strongest with his Sinnoh team. Aaron sent out his Drapion while Julian sent his Gliscor, Gliscor easily dominated that battle as the poison didn''t affect him much and his Defense was imprable for Drapion, with one powerful Guillotine that battle was over with one hit. Drapion was so tired that it didn''t even have the strength to dodge the slow-moving Guillotine, after using all its moves on Gliscor and seeing none of them came even close to putting a bruise on Gliscor. After Julian defeated the first member of the Elite Four he went on to challenge the next on in Hearthome City, his next opponent is Bertha, he knows her as the sister of the retired Elite Four member of the Kanto region Agatha. Bertha is a ground type trainer and her team is made of all ground type pokemons but it didn''t matter to Julian he could use any of his pokemons to win against her, the Sinnoh Elite four is powerful but his team has be way stronger and already at a champion level, ready to face off against Cynthia. The battle started with Bertha sending out her Whiscash while Julian sent out Manaphy, even though both are water type pokemons Manaphy clearly had the bigger gun, it easily dominated the battle and won with a powerful Water Pulse. The next battle was between Bertha''s Gliscor and Julian''s Victini, even though Victini seems to be at the disadvantage, Bertha''s Gliscor couldn''t handle the heat from the V-Create and got knocked out. The third battle was between her Hippowdon and Julian''s Garchomp, both ground type but Garchomp was the one with more power, with a powerful Draco Meteor the battle ended leaving behind a wrecked battlefield. The fourth battle was between Golem and Julian''s Gliscor, this battle was purely physical which caused the already destroyed battlefield to be something that was unfit to battle but the battle still continued. Julian''s Gliscor won after using a Guillotine which he missed three times beforending it sessfully the fourth time by catching the unharmed Golem unexpectedly by the attack. Thest battle was between her Rhyperior and Julian''s Togekiss. Togekiss won that battle by using Sunny Day then st Rhyperior with Sr Beams one after the other. With this Julian won against his second challenge. His third opponent is Flint, the fire type user, Julian has seen this man battle before several times, as he is the one who keeps on challenging Cynthia the most for her title. His team consists of Houndoom, reon, Rapidash, Magmortar, and Infernape so Julian went with Manaphy, Lucario, Garchomp, Rampardos, and Luxray and won against Flint as well. Julian''sst opponent before he faces Cynthia is Lucian, the psychic type user. Psychic-type pokemons are one of the strong pokemon typing as they have psychic powers to control their opponent''s momentum if they are strong enough, his team consists of Mr. Mime, Espeon, Bronzong, kazam, and Gade. The battle is held in Sunyshore city which brought in a lot of crowds as it is the most popted city in the Sinnoh region. With the start of the battle, the crowd''s loud cheers took over the whole city as they watched the battle that is going on right in front of their eye. The battle was exciting, Lucian tried hard but he couldn''t defeat Julian and his final pokemon, Gade fell on the ground as it couldn''t win against Victini''s V-Create, its protect was shattered into pieces and then it got hit by it. Lucian sighed and excepted his loss. Now that Julian has won against all the Elite Four members, its time for him to have hisst battle in Sinnoh and it is against his own girlfriend. Chapter 589 - The Final Battle Of Sinnoh (1) Julian is currently standing on top of the grand stadium in the lily valley, this is where he will face off against the champion of the Sinnoh region, Cynthia, ever since she stepped into the seat of the champion she has never been defeated and she wants to keep it that way. Julian has trained for this day and he is ready for it, the same goes for Cynthia as well, most of the time the challenger is the underdog but in this scenario, the champion is the underdog. ?? Cynthia is giving her all for this battle and is training a lot harder, her team is strong and the newest addition to her team, her Zoroark will be a real threat as his power is way beyond a champion level pokemon and none of Julian''s pokemon in his current team is near champion level, Garchomp is the closest. The only x-factor will be Crystal, even though its power is not over a champion level with Julian behind it, Crystal can take on even a powerful legendary pokemon if needed. As Julian watched the workers down below reinforcing the battlefield with a tungstenyer so that it doesn''t gate destroyed during the battle, tungsten are the hardest metal found in this world and it is known to withstand a lot of things. During the war times, tanks were made of tungsten which was also to even stop attacks like Hyper Beam and Giga Impact from powerful pokemons so to get through these tanks, humans used tungsten projectiles that were shot at high speed to puncture through these thick tungsten armor tanks. Using tungsten is the best possible fission the league made for this battle, as Julian watched these workers get busy so they can finish their work, Cynthia appeared behind him and hugged him from behind. Julian "You should be training, or you will lose" He said. Cynthia "We will see about that" She said but didn''t let go of him. Julian "So, are you just going to hold on to me like this?'' Cynthia "Yes" Julian "Fine, but don''t forget, I won''t go easy on you" He said and smiled. Cynthia "That''s my line, do you think you can defeat my pokemons with your current team?" Julian "This is the first time I am facing an opponent who has a pokemon that is way stronger than mine but I have my ways" He said and smiled. Cynthia "We will see" Julian "Yes, we will see. By the way, I am hungry, let''s go eat" Cynthia "Yes, let''s go eat" Julian and Cynthia then went to eat some food then get some rest, they will be facing each other tomorrow and it will be a huge battle. As they went into their room, try got a call from Kalos from Daisy and Chloe as they cheered for Cynthia and told her to destroy Julian for being so cocky, Julian just smiled and said nothing. The day finally came to an end and the battle that the whole world is waiting for is just hours away from happening. ________________________ Next morning, a huge crowd has gathered in front of the grand stadium with multiple reporters and TV crew swarming the premises to film the event, there are also people at home sitting in front of their TV to watch this battle, they are all excited, they wanted to see who will be the winner. Till now Julian won every battle wlessly and many believed that he can win against Cynthia as well but there are still some people who wanted to support their champion and believed in her strength. People entered the grand stadium and filled with anticipation as they waited for the champions toe on and start their battle. After an hour passed the announcer took his seat and began to introduce the participants, first to walk in is Julian as he is the challenger, people''s voices echoed in his ears as they repeated his name, the announcer then introduced Cynthia who also got a massive greeting by the crowd. This was not just a normal challenger versus champion battle, this was a battle between two lovers as well and this got people really excited. They wanted to see what the oue of this battle will be. Soon the referee walked in with two gs in his hand, he soon started to exin the rules of this battle, this will be a three on three pokemon battle. The reason is that the league didn''t want the grand stadium to be destroyed so they limited the use of pokemons but nobody needed to know that, the rest of the rules are the same, both sides are allowed to switch pokemons anytime they want. After confirming that both sides are ready to battle the referee allowed them to choose their pokemon. Julian went first and sent out his Lucario. Since he has no idea what Cynthia is going to send out he decided to y it safe with Lucario as she can handle anyone with her skills Cynthia smiled and sent out her pokemon, a Lucario. She sent out her own Lucario to deal with Julian''s, this battle will be between two Lucario and the crowd is excited to see which one is the better. Julian smiled and looked at the referee so he can start the battle, the referee then waved his g and the battle started. Both Lucario dashed at each other releasing their aura''s Julian "Swords" Hearing Julian Lucario created two cuss swords from her Aura and swung it at Cynthia''s Lucario. Cynthia "Jump and use Aura Sphere" Cynthia''s Lucario jumped up and dodged the shes from Julian''s Lucario and then sted an Aura Sphere at her from mid-air, Julian''s Lucario quickly turned around and shed the Aura Sphere with her sword and split it into two, the sphere then went to the side and exploded on the ground. Julian "Close Combat" Since Cynthia decided to mimic him and send out her own Lucario, Julian gave her an invitation to see who has the better Lucario, a battle with skill by using Close Combat. Cynthia understood this by looking at Julian''s smile and smiled as well and instruct her Lucario to use Close Combat as well. Both Lucario started to exchange blows, Cynthia''s Lucario created a staff out of the aura and tried to block the iing attacks from Julian''s Lucario''s swords but he could only block one at a time, whenever he blocked one she would sh him up with another. This forced Cynthia''s Lucario to back up with some injuries while Julian''s Lucario is still unscathed, she was clearly the more skilled fighter. The battle continued and this time Cynthia yed smart by trying to maintain her distance from Julian''s Lucario but that was not possible, Julian''s Lucario is way faster than hers She easily caught up to him and shed at him with Shadow sh and then hit him with a Drain sh which finally put Cynthia''s Lucario on the ground. Julian "Aura Sphere" Lucario then finally ended her opponent who is on the ground with a powerful Aura Sphere giving Julian the first victory. Referee "Cynthia''s Lucario is unable to battle, Julian''s Lucario wins" With the announcement, the first point went to Julian. Chapter 590 - The Final Battle In Sinnoh (2) With Julian taking the first point the crowd burst into cheers while Cynthia felt a little pressured, she thought that her Lucario can drag this one for a lot longer but Julian''s Lucario proved to be a formidable foe. She sighed and called her Lucario back and sent out her next pokemon, her Garchomp. ?? Seeing the Garchomp Julian smiled and called his Lucario back as well and sent out his own Garchomp, this time it is Julian''s turn to mimic her and see who has the better Garchomp. There is no way Cynthia''s Garchomp can overpower his and she knows it, she has seen Julian''s Garchomp taking down Tobias''s Tyranitar as if that huge monster was nothing but she has a n. The battle started with both calling out a Dragon Pulse which ended up in a draw, they both seem to be equally matched in Special Attack but that didn''t matter much. Garchomps are Physical Attacker and they are ready to destroy, soon both Garchomps started to exchange physically and Julian''s Garchomp is clearly the winner. Seeing that she has no advantage over this battle Cynthia made her move and pulled out a keystone. The Keystone started to shine brightly as the light traveled towards the tail of her Garchomp where the Mega stone is ced, seeing this Julian was surprised. During his journey in Sinnoh, he tried to search for a Mega Stone for his pokemons but he was not lucky at all, the only one who got it was Victini as it was a special kind. Julian looked at Cynthia''s Garchomp as it physically started to change and grow bigger, as the light faded away he finally saw Garchomp''s Mega Evolution, she lost her w but the de in her arm seems to have be a lot bigger and sharper as they reced her w. Julian could feel the change in Cynthia''s Garchomp but it is not enough to scare his, his Garchomp has been trained to take down even the toughest of opponents, his Physical Attack is ridiculous, even if Cynthia''s Garchomp mega evolved it is not close to Julian''s Garchomp''s real strength. The battle began again and both pokemon exchanged blows after blows but nobody seems to being on top, Julian also noticed that Cynthia''s Garchomp now has a massive boost in her Physical strength while she sacrificed her speed. Julian "Garchomp, Dragon Rush" Cynthia "You too, Dragon Rush" Both pokemon used Dragon Rush as two massive energy dragons collided with each other ripping apart the ground below them. As the smoke cleared up the result is in and its a draw. Julian/Cynthia "Dragon Rush" Both used Dragon Rush again and once again the collision destroyed the ground beneath them as the tungsten below the ground slowly started to reveal itself. It was another draw but Julian could clearly see his Garchomp winning, he has speed behind his Garchomp and they seem to be equal in strength, Julian underestimated the mega evolution of Cynthia''s Garchomp but he also found out that it reduces her speed so Julian had nothing to be concerned about. Julian/Cynthia "Dragon Rush" They once again used Dragon Rush, this was not the battle of technique, this was the battle between the argument of who had the stronger pokemon and the direct sh is the best answer, this explosion ripped apart the ground and finally revealed the tungstenyer below but no one pains attention to it as they saw Cynthia''s Garchomp being sent flying backward while Julian''s stayed on the spot. Julian "Finish this Dragon Rush" With this Garchomp rushed towards hie opponent using Dragon Rush as the massive energy dragon chomped down on Cynthia''s Garchomp, another massive explosion and Cynthia''s Garchomp went crashing into the ground, knocked out. This surprised Cynthia as she looked at Julian''s Garchomp who still is standing with very few scratches over his body. Cynthia ''Just how strong is that Garchomp? she questioned'' And called her Garchomp back to her Pokeball, she is now down to herst pokemon but it doesn''t matter as this is her strongest, Julian knows this too so he called back his Garchomp and let him rest. Cynthia sent out her Zoroark while Julian sent out his Lucario once again. The battle started with Lucario using daggers as her weapon but to Julian''s surprise, Cynthia''s Zoroark was even faster than his Lucario, it thennded a very decisive hit on Lucario with a Night sh which sent her rolling but Cynthia didn''t stop there. Cynthia "Dark Pulse" As Lucario is still rolling on the ground Zoroark sted a powerful Dark Pulse as her, the Dark Pulse hit her and sent her flying. Cynthia "Finish it, Focus st" Zoroark charged up a Focus st and sent it to Lucario. Julian "Cut right through it" As Lucario spun in the air, she opened her eyes and the daggers in her hand changed into a long sword and she shed at the Focus st and split it into two. Cynthia "Not so fast, get close and another Focus st" As Lucario cut through the first one, Zoroark swiftly got close to her and sted a Focus st at point-nk range. Julian "Aura Sphere" Lucario also quickly countered the Focus st with a powerful Aura Sphere out of nowhere, a massive explosion urred and everyone could see both pokemon being sent flying back, Cynthia''s Zoroarknded on his feet but Lucario crashed on the ground and rolled right in front of Julian. Lucario got knocked out, that Focus st was just too close, Lucario''s Aura Sphere backfired as it exploded right in her hands, she reached a little two slow. Seeing this the whole stadium went quiet and then suddenly burst into an uproar as they realized what just happened, Julian''s pokemon got knocked out, this is the second time this has been seen, first was when he battled Lance but that was a draw, this is a clear knockout. Referee "Lucario is unable to battle, Zoroark wins". Chapter 591 - The End Of The Battle It took a moment for everyone to take in that Julian''s Lucario got defeated and it was done none other than their champion, Cynthia. This is the first time anyone has ever gotten a clear knock out over Julian and his pokemon, the crowd cheered for Cynthia but it really didn''t matter for Cynthia. ? ? Her Zoroark was much stronger and faster than Julian''s Lucario and to an extent that her skills really didn''t matter at all. But Julian didn''t mind it, it is ok for his pokemons to lose sometimes, they won''t grow overconfident. Julian looked at Cynthia''s Zoroark and noticed that he is holding to the side of its stomach, he is hurt after that exchange and this is enough for Julian. He called Lucario back to her Pokeball and sent out his Garchomp again. Garchomp took his ce on the battlefield and looked at his opponent, he could tell that his opponent is strong but his opponent is hurt as well. But that didn''t matter to Garchomp, he always wants to battle a tougher opponent, before he thought that Cynthia''s Garchomp is strong but now even she is no match to his immense power, any other pokemon is no big challenge to him as well, only his seniors, Tyranitar and Absol, he challenged them many times and every time they would defeat him easily. That is why he is not overconfident, he knows there are still monsters out there, like his seniors, Tyranitar and Absol and their batch and even more monstrous existence like Infernape, Snox and Gengar and the rest of the group. Garchomp still cannot phantom what level they are at. The battle started with both pokemon rushing towards each other, Zoroark used Night sh while Garchomp used Dragon w, both shed with each other and the result is a draw, the ground underneath their foot got destroyed and their ws gripped into the thick tungstenyer below. Julian''s Garchomp strength wasparable to a pokemon that is above a champion level. This is clearly shown by this sh, Zoroark is clearly way beyond a Champion level pokemon but for Garchomp to match its strength for strength is ridiculous. Both of them backed off after the sh and sized up each other again, both had simr strength but the rest favored Zoroark, he is faster and has a higher Special Attack than Garchomp. Another thing that favors Garchomp is his Defense, with an ability like Rough Skin, he dealt extra damage to his opponents when even they handed a Physical attack on him. Zoroark then sted a powerful Dark Pulse at Garchomp so he blocked it by using Protect and charged at Zoroark using Dual Chop. Zoroark countered Garchomp with a Sucker Punch, the punchnded on Garchomp''s stomach but it didn''t stop him fromnding two powerful chops on Zoroark, Zoroark got a little hurt with he used Sucker Punch but after getting hit by the Dual Chop he is sent flying as he crashed on the ground. Cynthia "Zoroark, get up and use Dark Pulse" Zoroark got back to his feet and shot a Dark Pulse at Garchomp before he could even get close to him tond another one of those attacks. Julian "Dragon Pulse" Garchomp also sted his Dragon Pulse to counter the Dark Pulse, both attacks shed creating a big explosion, but the Dark Pulse then ripped through the Dragon Pulse and headed straight towards Garchomp. Julian "Destroy it with Dragon w" As the Dark Pulse got closer, Garchomp shed at it with his w andpletely destroyed it, the Dark Pulse had already lost most of its power and when it came in contact with Garchomp it was nothing. Cynthia "Zoroark create an Illusion" Suddenly Zoroark howled and the battlefield started to change and it turned into a thick rain forest, there are trees everywhere and Garchomp got confused, he couldn''t tell where Zoroark is. Cynthia "Dark Pulse" Suddenly a Dark Pulse came out of nowhere and hit Garchomp in the back and made him fall on the ground, he got back to his feet again and another Dark Pulse came and hit him. The only one suffering from this illusion is Garchomp as he and the rest of the world can still see the broken stadium and how Garchomp is taking one hit after the other,pletely confused from what is happening right now. Julian "Garchomp, listen to me and calm down" As Garchomp is trying to figure out where Zoroark is attacking him from he hears Julian''s voice and calms down but the Dark Pulse stilles and hits the right side of his chest but he takes it and stands still. Julian "Good, now Earthquake" Garchomp roars and ms his leg on the ground which causes a massive earthquake, the st power from the Earthquake caused the tungsten below their feet to vibrate as such a rapid pace that it started to split and crack, Zoroark felt his legs go numb at first then a massive about of earth energy sted him as he was sent flying in the sky. The illusion broke and Garchomp could see again. Julian "Now, use Draco Meteor" Garchomp then shot a powerful energy ball up in the sky and once it reached an approximate height it split into many pieces by exploding and raining down on the ground, Zoroark got caught in the middle of this meteor shower. It was as if someone is shooting rockets at him, after getting hit several times he got nned deep into the ground, he even went half an inch deep into the tungstenyer as well. Zoroark struggled to get up but this is the end. Julian "It''s over, Dragon Rush" Garchomp charged at Zoroark with a massive energy dragon surrounding him. Cynthia "Protect" Zoroark with hisst bit of energy tried to create a shield and is sessful but the bite force of this energy dragon is too much for it to handle, the protect shattered into pieces as the jaws closed down on Zoroark with a massive explosion following after. The shockwave shattered the protectiveyers around the grand stadium as the crowd stepped back so they don''t get hit. As the smoke cleared up the result is clear, Garchomp won as everyone could see him standing huffing for breath with scratches all over his body while he opponent Zoroark is on the ground,pletely knocked out with dust all over him. Referee "Zoroark is unable to battle, Garchomp wins, hence the winner of this battle Julian" With this announcement, it finally came to an end. Julian''s final battle in Sinnoh ended with his win. Chapter 592 - After The Sinnoh League The battle ended with Julian''s win, it was a tough battle where one of his pokemon got knocked out while his Garchomp is also injured and tired, he will need a lot of rest. If those Dark Pulse had continued for a little longer the results would have been in Cynthia''s favor and Julian would have to use his third pokemon to win the battle. ?? Now that Julian has defeated Cynthia he can take over the role of the champion but he didn''t like always he denied the role of the champion and went back home with Cynthia by his side. They had a bet and Julian won so now Cynthia has to do whatever he asks her to do and that went on for a few days. She had to do everything that Julian did, feed his pokemons clean them, watch over them when they are ying and also some fun stuff at night. Cynthia hated this but she still had to do this because she lost the bet. Once everything was done it is time for Julian to leave Sinnoh, he cannot bring Cynthia along with him because she has her work and he has his dream to travel the whole world. After a very heartfelt goodbye to Cynthia Julian went back to Kanto. Since he owns a massive corporation in his name he still has to do some work. Sign a lot of stuff and do some meetings, everything cannot be taken care of by Professor Oak and Jimi all alone. When his nended on the main airport of the Kanto region and he walked out of the ne he saw a bunch of reporters waiting for him outside the airport, seeing them Julian just sighed. He never understood how these people know when he ising to Kanto and when he is leaving Kanto as they will always be there to greet him and ask a lot of questions. Luckily Jimi has already sent some people to fetch Julian so he doesn''t get caught up between these reporters who are hungry for every information that is rted to Julian''s personal life. After his announcement to the world that he and Cynthia are in a rtionship the reporters have been chasing him everywhere to get some more stuff out of him. Julian got inside a ck sedan waiting for him outside the airport which directly took him to his house that is in Pallet Town. Once he got there he went directly towards Professor Oak''sboratory, as he looked at it, he noticed some changes, theboratory is a lot bigger than he remembered, looks like Professor Oak did some renovation here. He walked into theboratory and saw the walls have been reinforced, there are new furniture and a lot of antique vases around the room. He is surprised to see all this, he suddenly heard footsteps and turn around to see Professor Oak walking in with a bunch of Pokeballs in his hand. Oak "Oh, Julian you are back, help me here" He said and passed those pokemon to Julian and sighed in relief. Oak "These your trainers catch so much pokemon and then forget about them if they are not impressive and they just send them here, now I have to tag all of these pokemon and release them back in the wild" He said and sighed. Julian "Ok, then where should I put them?" Oak "Downstairs, where I keep rest of the pokemons" Julian then carried all these pokeballs downstairs where the rest of the pokeballs are kept, this room is filled with pokeballs that contain a pokemon inside them. Some of these pokemons will be released and some of them will be used for observation. Julian "Don''t you have any assistance to take care of these?" Oak "They are on leave, they will be back in two days, till then I have to deal will all of these things" Julian "I see that there has been a lot of renovation done to thisboratory" Oak "Yes, well all that moneying from ourpany I invested in a lot of things, some went for my research and others for the decoration and expansion of theb" Julian ced the pokemons in apartment and walked out of theb to see how pokemons, once his pokemons noticed that Julian is back they rushed towards him happily, they are all really d to see him, same goes for Julian as well as he has not seen some of them for quite a long time, he let his other pokemons out as well so they can meet with their family. He let his pokemons bond with each other and watched them interact. He noticed that he has a lot of pokemons now and this number will keep growing and he needs to find a bigger ce for them to stay. He noticed Professor Oak walking towards him with some young baby pokemons they need to be fed. Oak "Look at them, they were all so small and young, now they are big and powerful" Julian "Yes, but as my pokemons grow bigger and I have more pokemons in the future, I need a bigger ce for them to stay, your pokemon backyard is not going to contain all of them and the rest of the pokemons living here" Oak "Yes, that is a problem, have you thought of releasing them to the wild?" Julian "I have but I think its a really bad idea, imagine the world knowing that there are pokemons out there that can destroy cities, many people will try to capture them and turn them, it''s better for them to stay in a group where they can look after each other" He said and felt a sense of urgency. Julian "Let''s think about itter, I need to go to thepany, Jimi is expecting me" He said and left with only Gengar by his side, he let the other pokemon interact with each other, he doesn''t want to leave Gengar with them because he knows Gengar cannot be trusted. Once he got to thepany the guard standing in front of the door stood straight and weed Julian as he saw him walking towards thepany from a mile away. Julian nodded at him and entered thepany, just like the guard the otherpany employees also had the same reaction as they saw Julian, they didn''t see him much because they know Julian likes to travel a lot and seeing him here made their day. Once he got to Jimi''s office he heard Jimi shouting at someone on the phone. Jimi "Are you an idiot, how much time do I have to tell you, get someone to buy that god damn ind, it''s just sitting there with no one willing to buy it just because it is not suitable to build a tourist vacation spot? That''s bullshit, sell it to someone who has a lot of money, make them think of it as a private ind for themselves, do whatever you can or I will fire you" Saying that Jimi hung up the call frustrated, that is when he heard a knock at his door and noticed that it is Julian. Jimi "Ahh, Julian you are back, good to see you, I needed you, there is a lot of work to do, a lot of signing, you will be busy for days" He said andughed. Julian "What was that all about?" He said and signaled at his phone. Jimi "Ahh, its nothing, I have this private ind in my name and nobody wants to buy it because it is not suitable for tourist due to the thick rain forest there and also an active volcano, but nobody wants to buy an ind for themselves to use it as a private ind, everybody thinks about profit and when they are buying an ind it is always about profit, everyone wants to build a tourist stop to earn money, those bastards, things were so the way in the early days, not many people cared about all these stuff but now everyone wants money, whatever they do, they want money from it" Julian "Ok, stop, stop, I get it" Julian stopped Jimi from talking any further because he knows if he let Jimi talk even a little more about this matter this will not end and he will continue talking for hours about this matter. Julian "How about I buy that Ind, I really need one" Hearing Julian, Jimi got surprised. Jimi "Why do you need an ind?" Julian "For my pokemons, they need a proper ce to stay right, they cannot spend their whole life in Professor Oak''s backyard" Jimi "Aaaa, hahahahaha, I get it, then it''s settled, the ind is yours" Julian "What''s the cost?" Jimi "Just 900000 Pokedors, it''s a very big a beautiful ind" Julian "Hmm, that''s a lot of money" Jimi "I know but it''s for your pokemons right" Julian ''This bastard when ites to business there is no friendship in his mind at all'' Julian thought about it for a few seconds. Julian "Make it 600000" Jimi "No, no, since you are my friend, how about 850000?" Julian "Bullshit, 650000, it''s a great deal" Jimi "Come on, 650000 is a little less, let''s meet in the middle 750000,e on, this is a very beautiful ind and since you are my friend why would I lie" Julian looked at Jimi and knew he is telling the truth, he thought for a few seconds, hesitated but finally agreed, 750000 poke dors is decent for a massive ind" After agreeing to buy the ind Julian started to discuss more the ind, its location and how it looks like, they have only agreed to it verbally so if Julian doesn''t like it he can look for another one, Jimi has a lot of private inds in his name, one could be suitable for him. After seeing the pictures of the ind Julian is satisfied, its hundred times bigger than Professor Oak''s backyard, it has a clean water source whiches from the waterfall, there is also an active volcano, the perfect ce for his Heatran to roam around and it''s very close to Pallet Town as well so Professor Oak can visit there once or twice a month to check on his pokemons. Of course, he won''t leave them all alone, he already made ns to build some houses on some t nes and hire some workers who will feed them and take care of them when Professor Oak is no around. With everything ready, it was time to start the construction of buildings in the ind, Julian spent two months supervision the construction, he made a massive mansion for himself so he can use this ind for a vacation escape sometimes. He also added all the necessary equipment as well which all ran through sr energy, he even bought some speed boats for the workers and caretakers of the mansion who will be working here so they can travel to the maind and buy stuff. While hiring he put up a very strict and high bar for whoever wanted to work here, and after finding the perfect staff, he made sure that they will never try to do anything funny by hypnotizing them by the help of Gengar so they will remain loyal to him and his pokemons. He didn''t want to do this but it was necessary, his pokemons are weapons that cannot fall in the wrong hand and he needs to take active measures to ensure that. The man in charge of the ind mansion is in his mid-thirties, his name is Edward and he will be the butler of this mansion, under him are some maids who are in charge of cleaning and other necessary stuff, he also hired an elite pokemon cook and thought him how to cook his pokemons food and how much they should be given to eat. After three months of hard work, it was finally over, Julian transferred all his pokemons to this ind of his, seeing how big their new home his all of his pokemons are happy, his water pokemons loved the massiveke, especially Gyarados as it is connected to the Ocean, he can go and explore the ocean whenever he wants, his grass type pokemon loved the massive forest, his rock type pokemons loved the rocky hills. Julian even made a special area for his Electric-type pokemons where they can charge up from all the electricity they can generate. His Heatran loved the Volcano as he could have it all for himself unless Julian catches a new pokemon that lives in volcanoes. Seeing his pokemon happy made him happy, he spent a lot for his pokemons but he didn''t mind it at all, all this money he has, it is for his pokemons and his family. During these three months Julian also focused on hispany and helped Jimi to expand its influence around different regions of the world. The progress on Professor Kukui''s teleportation device also made them excited as it halfwayplete before it can be installed in different cities and regions around the world. With everything done, Julian is ready for his next adventure, Unova. Chapter 593 - Going To Unova Kanto region, inside Julian''s house_ Julian is currently eating chips from arge chips bag along with Crystal who would float down and grab arge chip and go back on Julian''s shoulder and watch TV with him while munching down the big chip. ?? Julian and Crystal are currently watching a movie where Chloe is the main actress, she is ying as a foreign spy who decides to turn against her own country when she learns that they are going to bomb a state filled with innocent people. After watching the move Julian was pretty surprised by it, the action in the movie was very realistic, there was no unnecessary explosion that was not needed and when there was an explosion needed, they were very realistic, it looked like they used pokemons to recreate these massive explosions. After watching the movie Julian got up and packed his belongings and headed towards Professor Oakboratory as some of his pokemons are resting there as they will be going to Unova with him, just like before he won''t be taking all his pokemons with him, they are currently in the private ind enjoying their new environment. When he reached Professor Oak''sb he noticed Professor Oak speaking to someone on the screen in front of him, it was Professor Kukui, Julian waited for a few minutes until they finished their conversation. When it was over Julian approached Professor Oak. Julian "Wasn''t that Professor Kukui, what was it about?" He asked. Oak "The first two teleportation devices are finished and they are currently going through testing, you are lucky as you will be able to witness it right in front of your eyes" Oak said and smiled. Julian "What do you mean?" Oak "The testing will be held in Unova because of your grand announcement, the league decided to put the first device there so trainers can travel through cities easily" Julian "Hahaha, well I didn''t expect that but its good news anyways, so Professor Kukui will be there?" He asked. During his free time, Julian talked a lot with Professor Kukui about his project and they became friends. Oak "Of course he will be there, it''s his project, one of my students will also be there, her name is Aurea Juniper, she is also a Pokemon Professor who research the Origin of pokemons and how they came to be. Even though there are many theories about Mew being the first pokemon as its DNA has roots to every other pokemon living in this world but still, there are still many things that are uncertain" He said and passed a report file to Julian, the file had some information about Kukui''s project and Professor Oak''s take on it, even though Julian understood everything on the paper he didn''t speak, he didn''t want to tell Professor Oak that he understood everything. Or it would be a huge blow to Professor Oak who has been working for quite a while on this to improve it, not many could do what Julian can, he can memorize things within seconds with his current memory. His past life has be very hazy but his current life is very clear, as time passes he mightpletely forget about the events in his past life, maybe he will remember some very important information like his son and grandson. He nodded his head and looked at Professor Oak. Julian "So, I will be leaving soon, where are my pokeballs?" Oak "I have them here" He said and took out three Pokeballs, they belong to Garchomp, Victini and Crystal, Julian decided to take Garchomp and Victini with him and he couldn''t leave Crystal alone, just like Gengar it cannot be trusted to be left alone. And without Julian being around he knows it will throw a massive tantrum which might flip Kanto upside down, it still has the mindset of a baby while its other friends have already matured, well not all of them, Victini and Manaphy are still babies, Julian noticed that Mythical pokemons take a very long time to mature and they grow at a very slow rate. This also exins why they outlive most of the normal pokemons in this world and why people regard them as legends. Oak "When is your flight?" Julian "Two hours from now, I will be leaving now then" He said and bid farewell to Professor Oak, he has to hand over this file to Professor Kukui, he understood why Professor Oak passed it to him. Whenever Julian is leaving to some other region, Professor Oak treats him as a mailman, well it didn''t matter, he is going there anyway. After getting out of theb he leaves for the airport its time for him to start his journey in Unova and his destination is Castelia City as his nends there. He will then have to travel to Nuvema Town where Professor Juniper lives, that is where he will meet Professor Kukui as well and test the teleportation device. After reaching the airport he gets into his airne when Crystal pops out of his pocket at looked outside the ne''s window and looks back at Julian in confusion. Julian "We are going to a new ce where you will meet new friends" Julian said and rubbed Crystal''s little head with his finger, hearing Julian Crystal got very happy and excited, Crystal liked making friends so hearing that it will meet new friends got it very excited. Julian just chuckled and looked out of the window as he noticed the ne has started to move. Julian ''Unova, here Ie, I can''t wait to meet strong trainers there, maybe I can have battles like the one I had with Ash and Tobias and maybe even stronger opponents'' He thought and smiled. Chapter 594 - Arriving In Unova It was a very long flight, it took more than ten hours for him to reach from Kanto to Unova, he felt that if he called Latios he would have been there within a few hours but he won''t be able to have thefort of a first-ss suite where he gets his own private space. Afternding in Castelia city''s airport he rented a room in the nearest five-star hotel. ?? When he arrived there, he shocked the receptionist working there, she stood in a daze for a few seconds before getting woken up by Julian. After getting into his room he waited for a while for all the people toe and ring the bell in his door, by now he is used to it, whenever he checks in a hotel people woulde and ring his bell to wee him and give him a massive bouquet of flowers and arge box of choctes, the choctes were useful to him as Crystal liked them very much, as for the flowers he didn''t have any use for them, he would just leave them behind. By now he has received so many choctes and flowers that he still has some remaining boxes inside his pouch, luckily anything that he puts in his pouch doesn''t get spoiled. Just like he expected he heard the doorbell ring and when he opened it, he saw a tall man in a suit holding a bouquet and the woman behind him who is the receptionist that he saw downstairs is holding a box of chocte, he nodded at them with a smile and took the gifts and closed to the door after putting a ''Do Not Disturb'' sign on. He could have put the sign before but that doesn''t mean he would escape from these people, no matter what they would hand him this, either when he orders his food or when he is about to leave. As he closed to door Crystal came out of his pocket and rushed towards the box of choctes to open it but got blocked by Julian. Julian "Not this one, there are still some left from before" He said and put Crystal back into his pocket and the chocte in his pouch. Julian then turned on the TV to see what''s going on in Unova, to his surprise one of the elite four will be having an exhibition battle soon in Nacrene City, her name is Caitlin and she is a Psychic-type user and one more thing, she is also Cynthia''s childhood friend and they have faced off multiple times during their teenage years. Cynthia told him that Caitlin is a very powerful trainer, she is a champion level trainer, the only reason she is still not a champion is that the current Champion of Unova is no joke. Unova''s champion Alder, he has been holding onto the champion position for more than 12 years and that is a very long time for someone to be on the Champion seat, unlike the league that only takes ce once a year, the Champion can be challenged for their position by any member of the elite four when every they want. And every time Alder has been challenged, he has defeated his opponents, this shows just how much of an experienced champion he is. When ites to battling him Julian might have to work even harder than when he fought Cynthia as Alder is much older and experienced opponent. But Julian didn''t bother about it now, he still hasn''t caught his first pokemon in Unova, he has thought about it, what pokemon he wants in his team, and he has some ns. Julian then continues looking in the news about Caitlin, she will be having her exhibition match against another person of the elite four, Marshal, a fighting type trainer. By stats and logic, Caitlin looks like the clear winner but he isn''t sure about it, he needs to watch them with his own eyes before finding who is the stronger trainer. Cynthia has told him that Caitlin is already at a champion level so he is excited to see the battle, the news says that this battle is actually day after tomorrow. Julian "I should go and see this match, it would give me a clear understanding of my future opponents in the Unova League" He said and went to sleep, he hasn''t slept properly as Crystal kept bothering him in the flight. When every the air hostess came around with candies and drinks, Crystal would ask for one and if he even thinks of refusing Crystal would throw a tantrum. Julian sighs as he knows he has spoiled Crystal too much but he was helpless, he could never ignore Crystal. After taking a long rest Julian left Castelia City, Castelia city has a bug type gym but he has no pokemon right now so he cannot battle against the leader. And he also had to hand over the file that Professor Oak gave to him to hand it over to Professor Juniper and Professor Kukui as they will be waiting for it before testing anything on the new devices so Julian has to hurry up and get to Nuvema Town. He has his trust bike with him which he keeps in his dimensional pouch so he never has to worry about moving around, he could use Garchomp to fly around but that would be like using a pokemon as aborer to him, his pokemons are his family and he will only use them when they are needed. If he has a bike he can use it. He might need Garchomp''s help is some tricky situations but that was justified as it might be an urgent matter or he has to get somewhere fast which a bike cannot aplish. He soon left Castelia city behind and headed towards Nacrene city, he has heard that there is a very big museum there that has information about Unova''s history and the legends behind its legendary pokemons. And where there are legendary pokemons, Julian is interested as they are very different from normal pokemons, these pokemons y a massive role to the start of life itself so Julian was interested in them, the legendary trio of Unova, the Tao Trio, and their origin is very mysterious as there is no scriptures or texts that tell their origin. There might be one but people never found out about it. Chapter 595 - Thunder Cloud Julian is intrigued about the legends behind the legendaries of the Unova Region, it takes him a day to reach Nacrene city, during his ride he saw some pokemons that he hasn''t seen before but he didn''t catch any of them. They didn''t meet his standards, even though he loves likes every pokemon that doesn''t mean he will raise anyone. ?? He wants to find the best out of the bunch so they can be the best in the world. After getting a room in a nice hotel in Nacrene city he sat down on the couch and watched the TV, he is waiting for tomorrow, the exhibition match between the two elite fours, these type of battles are verymon around the regions governed by the League. They held these kinds of massive exhibition battles to bring in some funds for their operation and since the public likes to watch powerful trainers battle each other they will have to pay for it. This is how the world works and nobody questioned anything about it, it was a win-win situation to them, they were getting entertained and enjoyment out of these matches while the League was profiting from them. Julian switched to a news channel in which he saw something interesting. Reporter "A thunder cloud has been seen near the sea south of Nuveman Town, it is a very unusual phenomenon as thunder clouds are not present during this time of the year, scientists believe that this is an unnatural phenomenon created either by a pokemon or something else?" The TV then showed the massive thunder cloud that crackled with lightning, Julian saw this and is surprised, such a massive thunder cloud and it is out of season. Julian "Now this is interesting, it hasn''t even been a few days since I got here and I am already seeing unusual stuff" He said and smiled while looking at the massive thunder cloud, the thunder cloud seems to be still and not moving around so there is no danger from it. But there are some concerns about this thunder cloud if it''s natural it''s not a big deal, even though lightning from natural thunder clouds are a thousand times more powerful than a Thunder Attack from a pokemon but the damage that they leave behind is not huge because they only strike under a second and under that second they can cause a lot of damage to a single target, they don''t cause mass destruction which an Electric-type pokemon can do. The electricity from an Electric-type pokemon is very different from natural lightening from a thunder cloud created by nature, even though their properties are the same they react differently, while a bolt of normal lightning needs to form a circuit andpletely a rotation to cause any damage, the electricity from an Electric-type pokemons doesn''t need to follow that recruitment, that is why they can cause massive damage to a Flying-type pokemon but a natural Lightning has no effect on them, same could be said for nes as well, as they are not on the ground, a bolt of natural lightning cannot do any damage to a flying ne. So Julian is worried. If this is really a natural phenomenon he has nothing to worry about, even if someone gets hit by a bolt of lightning and they will die but it''s only one person, but if this is a rouge pokemon its attack can injure a lot of people and pokemon and destroy a lot of properties, even though the lightning will not be as fatal as a real natural bolt of lightning it is still dangerous. Electric-type pokemons are the most mysterious type of pokemons in the world, their power is so simr to natural electricity but they don''t react the same, that is also the reason by electric types are also one of the most destructive typing for an attack-type pokemon. Julian''s concern is justified but he cannot act, he has just arrived in Unova and he cannot cause a ruckus here and the thunder cloud hasn''t been a problem at all. Julian "I should not worry about it" He said and switched the channel while forgetting about the thunder cloud, tomorrow is the big day where he might meet his girlfriend''s best friend from her childhood who is also a champion level pokemon trainer and the strongest of the Elite Four in Unova. The day goes by as nothing special happens, he feeds his pokemons, and watch Crystal and Victini y with Garchomp, now that he is a big boy the two little once continue bullying him by climbing onto his back fin and hanging off it as Garchomp tried to struggle and get them off him. Julian justughs seeing this. He just went to sleep after that, he has already booked a ticket for tomorrow''s event so he has nothing to do now. Crystal followed him and slept next to him as well, Julian wants to see what Unova has up its sleeve for him, Unova is a very developed region with a lot of advance technology being produced and created here and the pokemons found here are also very unique in their own ways. There are so many pokemon species in Unova that Julian has never seen before so he is excited and his excitement could be felt by Crystal and it also got excited for no reason, it just felt happy. Chapter 596 - An Interesting Fellow The next day Julian woke up as the sun rays hit his face, he yawned and looked at the clock in the wall, it was 11 AM. Julian "I overslept" ?? He said while yawning, he got up and got ready, today is the day he has been waiting for, to see Caitlin battle against another member of the elite four, Marshal the fighting type trainer. He got out of the hotel wearing his signature face mast and sses with his head covered by the hood of his jacket, nobody bothered him as he arrived at the stadium, as he looked around he could see many people flocking around near the stadium, he got curious and walked towards the crowd and saw what was happening. He saw a very tall and muscr young man battling against another ordinary-looking man who seems to be in his mid-twenties. The ordinary man is using an Ursaring for this battle while the muscr young man is using a pokemon Julian has never seen before in his life, it was a Blue colored pokemon that looked like an Octopus but it was standing on three tentacle-like legs while it had four tentacle-like arms, it also has a yellow patch on its face over both its eyes. Julian didn''t know what this pokemon was, he looked around to see if others know but they also seemed as surprised as him. He looked at this pokemon, at a first guess he thought it might be a water/fighting type as it is an Octopus and it has a fighting stance. Ordinary Guy "What pokemon is that?" His opponent asked as he has no idea what he is going up against. Muscr Guy "My name is Glen and this is my partner Grapploct, I havee from Gr after being challenged by that arrogant man Julian, he thinks that he is the best pokemon trainer in the world, he has to think twice, once I defeat him, I will be the strongest trainer in the world" The Muscr Guy said andughed loudly. Ordinary Guy "Hahaha, you think you can defeat the undefeated Julian, first try to go through me then talk about taking down a trainer who has defeated multiple champions, have you ever done that?" The Ordinary Guy asked and started to mock Glen, Glen got furious when he heard this. Glen "Stop talking and battle, I will show you what I do to people who mock me" He got furious, seeing its trainer furious the Grapploct also seems to be getting angry and stared at the Ursaring standing opposite to it. There was a chance in atmosphere and Julian sensed it, he carefully looked at the Grapploct and smiled. Julian ''Grapploct is it? A very interesting pokemon'' He thought and looked at its trainer. The battle started and the Ursaring seems to be getting a little ufortable right now. Ordinary Guy "Ursaring, let''s finish this with one hit, Hammer Arm" Hearing its trainer''s order, the Ursaring charged at the Grapploct with full power and brought down its massive arm on it using Hammer Arm. Glen "Hmm, child''s y, Grapploct, block then use Mega Punch" As the Hammer Arm descended on its face Grapploct raised one of its arms and blocked the Hammer Arm as if it was nothing, seeing this everyone present in the area is surprised, then the finishing blow came, Grapploct used its two right arms and punched Ursaring right on its stomach, the power behind that punch was so powerful that the shockwave from it caused the people in the ground to fall down the ground bring down the people standing behind them as well. Ursaring on the other hand flew, it went so high up in the air that everyone only saw a dot in the sky, as it came down it crashed down and formed a pit hole on the ground. Seeing this everyone gasped, they couldn''t believe what they just saw, this trainer called Glen and his weird pokemon were really powerful. Julian, on the other hand, was very impressed by this, this trainer couldpare to Tobias, even though his Grapploct doesn''t seem to be a legendary or a mythical pokemon, it still had a lot of power behind its attack. Glen then looked around and smiled at the people watching him in shock, he looked at a young woman who is filming this on her phone and approached her, he then looked directly at her phone and started to talk. Glen "Hey you the guy named Julian, you think you are some kind of hotshot huh? Challenging the whole world, now I am here and I have excepted your challenge, I will meet you in the Unova League and crush you and every other opponent that will go against me and I will be called the strongest trainer in the world" He said and started tough like a madman. Jenny "HEY YOU STOP RIGHT THERE, you are under arrest for damaging public property" Suddenly Officer Jenny came out of nowhere and caught Glen''s ear and dragged him away and put him in the police car after handcuffing him. Glen looked miserable and tried to reason with Officer Jenny but inside he got barked by the Arcanine that was next to her, Glen shook in fear and went inside the car while the rest of the crowd watched andughed at him. Julian also smiled as he saw this Glen fellow. Julian ''What an interesting fellow I met today and he seems pretty strong, I wonder how many more are out there who came to Unova'' He thought and smiled and walked towards the stadium and got into the VIP suite after showing his ticket to the guard in front of the door, the guard didn''t ask many questions and just let Julian in, not everyone could afford a VIP suite and some of them had their reason to cover their faces so the guard just let him walk in. After taking his seat Julian sat down and waited for this battle to start. Chapter 597 - Caitlin Vs Marshal Julian''s wait didn''tst for long as he saw a huge crowd has started to gather around the stadium as they took their seat and waited for the big battle, soon it started as the massive screen on top of the stadium started to y videos of Caitlin and Marshal on it, it showed their pokemons and how much of destruction they can cause. The crowd started to shout out their names, as Elite Four they are very famous and they are loved by the people of Unova. ?? Julian looked at the doors from which the trainers are going to enter as it slowly started to open, the announcer called for them as smoke covered the battlefield. As some disappeared both trainers could be seen on the battlefield staring at each other, the two trainers are one of the strongest pokemon trainers in Unova, they are the part of the Elite Four. Marshal is ced at third while Caitlin is in the first ce, this position among the Elite Four depends on their battle record. Caitlin has only lost her battle against the Champion of Unova while she has defeated every other member of the Elite Four before but that doesn''t mean that it won''t change, after reaching a certain level it bes hard for a pokemon to grow stronger and this might lead to them falling back because their rival or opponent can overtake them but it will be hard for them as well to exceed their current level. That is why when a trainer reaches a level of power they are dependent on their true skills and not luck because in their level only skill can help them. Julian watched the two of them and he could clearly see the rivalry between these two trainers, they go way back and this is not the first time they are facing off against each other. Julian smiles seeing this, he knows how it feels to meet the same person again in the battlefield again, he felt the same when he saw Ash, maybe Ash is not strong enough to give him a challenge right now but someday he will get there and it will be Julian''s hardest battle and he knows it. That is why he favors Ash so much, at first he really wanted to avoid Ash because he was an annoying little brat but Julian saw Ash growth with his own eyes, he knew Ash is going to be someone that is going to shake the world for good and he wants to see when that dayes. Julian continued looking at the battlefield as he saw the referee entering with two gs in his hand, even though this is an exhibition battle it is between two members of the Elite Four and it will go down on their records. The Referee started to tell the rules of this battle, this seems to be a two on two pokemon battle with no time limit, with both sides agreeing the battle started. Caitlin sent out her first pokemon Gothitelle and Marshal sends his Mienshao, one is a Psychic and the other is a Fighting-type, it is clear that Caitlin has a clear advantage but the crowd is still excited to see this battle. The battle starts with a big bang as Mienshao sts an Aura Sphere and Gothitelle counters with a Psyshock, both attacks collide and create a massive shockwave that sweeps off everything in the battlefield, the crowd cheers as the two powerful pokemons started to collide with each other, after a few minutes Gothitelle has a clear advantage and it suddenly uses Psychic and sts a powerful Psychic wave at Mienshao and sends it crashing against a wall as Mienshao faints from it. Caitlin''s Gothitelle still looks fine and can go for a second round but Caitlin doesn''t want to use it again so she calls it back and sends out her Metagross, seeing this Julian smiles, it reminded him of his Metagross, he knows how powerful these beast are and already knows that Caitlin is going to win this battle, her Gothitelle was really impressive but it was not the best but this Metagross is different, it has an air of supremacy around it just like his pokemons. Marshal looked worried as he saw Caitlin send out her Metagross but he still has a chance, Metagross is a Steel-type as well so his pokemon''s attacks should be able to damage its opponent, he decides to go with his strongest pokemon as well, Conkeldurr. Both pokemon stare at each other ready to battle, with the referee''s signal, both begin with a physical exchange as Metagross uses Metal w while Conkeldurr uses Hammer Arm. Conkeldurr rises its massive cylindrical boulder and smashes it at the iing Metagross while Metagross counters with its massive arm as well, the sh creates a thunderous sound and both Pokemon are pushed back but the clear winner is Metagross as Conkeldurr flinches after that, the shock traveled from the boulder in his hand to its body shaking it internally. Seeing the chance Caitlin doesn''t;t back down and attack. Caitlin "Meteor Mash" Her Metagross charges at Conkeldurr with full speed as metal particles surround it and start to burn like a meteor, it then crashes into Conkeldurr and sts it off of the battlefield and Conkeldurr gets knocked out. With this, the battle is over and Caitlin is the winner, she was clearly the more powerful and experienced trainer that Marshal and this battle showed it to the world, the crowd cheered for her while Marshal sighed in disappointment. Caitlin "HoHoHoHo, I told you, Marshal, you cannot defeat me, you are simply wasting your time" She said andughed while covering her mouth with her hand. Marshal got frustrated and angry but he couldn''t do anything but walk away from the battlefield with his defeated pokemon. Marshal "Caitlin, I will defeat you one day" He said and walked away. Caitlin "I will be waiting" She said and smiled and then started to wave at her fans who are cheering for her from the crowd. Julian "Just like Cynthia said. She is truly a champion level trainer too bad the current champion is really strong, maybe one day she might be the champion of Unova" He said and continued watching the battlefield as Caitlin diligently bowed down for her audience and entertained them before walking away, she was clearly the elegant type. As the battle was over Julian has nothing to do here so he decided to visit the museum which is right next to this stadium and see if there is anything interesting he could find there. Chapter 598 - The Legends With the battle over, Julian headed straight towards the Museum as he wants to see if he can find something on the legendary trio of the Unova, even though these pokemons are known all over the world, their myth originated from Unova. Just like the creation trio, even though the whole world knows about them, their origin story and many scriptures started from Sinnoh that is why they were called the trio that belonged to Sinnoh and just like Sinnoh, Unova has its own trio, their myth is so unique and non-existence that many people believe that they don''t exist at all. ?? When it came to the creation trio they were treated as Gods but when ites to the trio that said to once rule the Unova region is like a ghost to them. Julian soon arrived in front of the city''s museum and just as he expected, it is massive, right in the front of the museum is a massive door that was filled with carvings, and some of these carvings belong to a pokemon that Julian knew very well, Victini. The mythical Pokemon Victini was first discovered in Unova hundreds of years ago and they were thought to only exist in Unova but that changed when they were sighted in other regions. People believed this because some of the pokemons that live in Unova cannot be found in other regions and the ones that were found in the other regions were because they were pokemons caught by trainers and then released in the wild as these pokemons soon started to multiply in other regions. Before it was not the same, the pokemons found in Unova were exclusive to Unova, in olden times many rich people from other regions would pay a lot of money for any pokemon that lived in Unova because they were in rarest in other regions. Looking at the carving of Victini Julian smiled, he remembered the first time he met his Victini, the little one was young and brave, tried to tackle a pokemon which was way out of its own league and was sessful once, his Victini is very prideful and verypetitive at the beginning when it got to meet with its friends, the fight would always break out between Victini and Garchomp as both of them want to be the dominant member in the group but Victini lost the battle against Garchomp because of his resistance to fire and he also had the advantage of being a ground type over it but Victini didn''t give up after the loss and grabbed the second ce in the group. Remembering all this put a big smile on Julian''s face but no one is able to see this smile as his face is covered. "Excuse me" Julian suddenly heard a voice calling for him from inside the museum, he looked inside and saw ady looking at him with a weird gaze, he looked very suspicious to her because he was covered from head to toe. Julian "Yes?" "Do you need anything?" She asked. Julian looked at her and noticed that she seems to be a worker at this museum, one of those guides who walk people around and exin to them the origin and history of an artifact. Julian "Nothing, I was just looking at the carvings, I then intend to look around the museum" He said. "I see" She said and walked away while still keeping her sight locked on Julian, anyone would be suspicious if a person who is covered from head to toe is lurking around a museum, a museum is a ce filled with very expensive and historical artifacts that any thief would love to get their hands on. Julian felt what thisdy was thinking and he didn''t know what to say, he cannot just walk into this massive museum with his face wide open for the public, it would cause amotion. Julian entered the museum and started to look around when he noticed that some of the security guards were keeping a close eye on him and were following him from a distance, he sighed and continued looking around. Julian then came across something that he actually came for, he saw a massive wall and on this was is the carving of the legendary pokemon he has never seen before but he suspects it to be one of the three legendaries. He looks around to find someone that could tell him about this pokemon, he soon finds thedy he saw before, the one that he saw at the entrance of the museum and she still seems to be keeping her eye on him with few of the security guards lurking behind her. He looked at her and beckoned her, seeing this thedy is surprised and scared, she doesn''t know what this suspicious man wants but she still walks towards him because it''s her job to do so if someone calls for her inside the museum and she feels a little safer with all the security around inside the museum. "What is it?" She asked respectfully. Julian "This, what is this pokemon''s name?" He asked while pointing at the carving of the legendary pokemon, thedy looked at the carving and back at Julian, she didn''t know why this man is asking about it but she decided to go with it. "This is the legendary pokemon called Zekrom, one of the three legendary dragons of Unova, it is said that Zekrommands lightning while hiding in thunder clouds, legends say that this pokemon only help those that want to build a world which is ideal" She said and stopped and looked back at Julian who is staring at the carvings on the massive wall, a massive dragon with wings and one that controls lightning while hiding inside a thunder cloud. Julian ''Thunder Cloud? like the one, I saw on the TV? Noooo It''s just a coincidence why would Zekrom be there and even if it what will it even do?'' He questioned and shook off the thought from his head and looked back at thedy. Julian "There are two more legendaries right, who are they?" He asked. "The other two are Reshiram, it is said tomand fire and legends say that it helps those who seek to build a world based on truth. Thest one is Kyurem, the most mysterious one of the three, nothing is known about Kyurem what it is and where did ite from, too be exact none of these legendary pokemons have an origin, it has been lost in the ancient times, there is one that states that all three of these dragons were part of a single dragon once but something happened and they split into three but its just a saying, nothing to back it up" As thedy spoke she because excited about this topic and as she stopped she realized that she got carried away and step back a little and looked back at Julian who seems to be in deep thought. Julian "Interesting, a single dragon split into three, what could have happened?" He whispered. "Excuse Me?" Thedy asked as she didn''t hear what Julian said. Julian "Oh..... It''s nothing, thanks for taking your time and telling me about the legends, I will be leaving them" Saying so Julian left leaving thedy a little startled. "Looks like I took this a little too serious, he was just a normal person looking around the museum" She said and signaled the guards to go back to their position and do their work. Chapter 599 - Choosing A Pokemon Is Hard After walking out of the museum Julian decided to head towards Nuvema city, he still has a few days and he has enough time on him so he doesn''t have to hurry right now. After leaving Nacrene city he will have to go through Striaton city, then um Town before finally reaching Nuvema city. ?? Julian looks at his digital map in his mobile and sees what is there in Striaton city, the only notable thing in his city seems to be a very famous restaurant, a trainer school and a pokemon gym which is run by three brothers, Julian wasn''t surprised to see a trainer school in this city as it is very close to Nuvema town. Most young trainers get their first pokemon from Professor Juniper and some of them will head to a trainer school to learn more before deciding what they want to be in the future. Pokemons are a very important part of a human''s life, most business and work use the help of Pokemons and their abilities. Julian didn''t waste much of his time looking around these cities and directly headed towards Nuvema town to deliver the file that Professor Oak gave to him, Professor Kukui should be there by now and the testing process should be going on right now. Even though he wanted to look around Striaton city a little longer, he only decided to rest there for a day and have something to eat in the famous restaurant there. And Julian did so, after arriving at the city he noticed that this city was not as big as he expected, it was very well developed and the buildings around the city were quite unique, the design of these buildings was very different from what he had seen in other regions, like Sinnoh, Hoenn, and Kanto. After looking around he found a nice hotel to stay in which was actually next to the restaurant he was looking for, he could already smell the fragrance of the food being cooked inside this restaurant, not only him, even Crystal woke up from its dream and popped out of Julian''s pocket and tried to rush there bu Julian stopped Crystal. Julian "We will go afterward, not right now" He said and dragged Crystal into the hotel and got a room, he then spent the whole day doing his research on Unova and its differentndscapes, what type of pokemons are to be expected in different parts. He had his eyes on some of the pokemon species that could be found in Unova, this time he wants to go wild with his selection, he didn''t want a team like the one he had in Sinnoh, it was very well bnced, this time he wants a very odd team, like catching two pokemons of the same typing or something totally unexpected and Unova had these type of pokemons all over the region. But for this to all start, he needs to catch a pokemon first and Julian doesn''t know what to do. Julian "Should I get a starter pokemon found here in Unova or a random one?" He questioned himself but he couldn''t decide, starter pokemons are always strong, they start up as weak but they evolve very fast and when they get to their final form they be one of the main powerhouses of the team. Julian knows that so getting a starter pokemon of Unova is not a bad idea and if he does want one, he needs to decide between the three pokemons that are, Snivy the grass type, they are very close to serpents and when they reach their final form they be serpents, at their final form they be very elegant and noble, they will re at their opponents and if the opponent is weaker they would just flee but if the opponent doesn''t get fazed by its noble re they got all out against it to fight them. Seeing this Julian smiled, he has never had a pokemon with this kind of personality. Next is Tepig, the fire type and a little pig that shoots out fire from its nose and loves eating berries that it roasted, they are very good at closebat when they reach their final form, even though they are fat. Andst is Oshawott, the water type, it carries a scalchop on its belly and uses it as both a weapon and a shield. When they reach their final form the scalchop bes a body armor with a longhorn in the front of its head and it also has two seamitars around its front legs that can be used as swords, when Julian saw this he was surprised, he didn''t know about this at all. Looking at the three species of pokemon he was interested but still doesn''t know if he should choose them or catch something else. As he was thinking about it, Crystal started to bug him by pulling his hair and poking his cheeks, it wanted to go to that restaurant that they saw before, he sighed and nodded he head and walked out of the room to take Crystal and his other pokemons to the restaurant, after eating there Julian was impressed by how good the food really was, so he decided to bring his girlfriends here when theye to meet him. After eating Julian headed back, tomorrow he has to leave this city and continue on the road and reach his destination. Chapter 600 - Unknown Hovership Julian continued on the road towards Nuvema town, on the way he encountered some pokemons but he wasn''t interested in them, they were mostly Patrat, Lillipup, Pidove, and Purrlion, none of them he encountered on the way were special. Some of them approached him because of the aura around him so he fed them a little before leaving them, some of them tried to follow Julian but suddenly felt something scary stare at them from somewhere and ran away in fear. ?? Julian justughed awkwardly as he saw this, he had no other way but to scare them away, he cannot just take in any pokemon that he encountered on the route or he would have an army of pokemons that he would have no use for. And they all need to meet the criteria for them to be on his team. As Julian rode through the rough road in the middle of the jungle which falls between um town and Nuvema town, he heard something. A massive ck hover ship went past him towards Nuvema town, he frowned when he saw this, he didn''t know who owned this hovership but he had a bad feeling about this. Julian "Gengar follow that Hovership without getting noticed" As he said this, Gengar came out of his shadow and bolted towards the shadow of the hovership and blended with it leaving Julian behind. Not anyone could own a hovership of this size, it must belong to a private army or a very richpany, but why would they go to Nuvema town, unless they are either going to see the teleportation device that is currently being tested in the town at Professor Juniper''sb or they are nning something else. Just for safety, Julian sent Gengar behind them, if they are just to see the project then it is fine but if they try to do something else, Gengar would haunt them really bad, so bad that they will be afraid to sleep for days just because they wouldn''t want to dream of the nightmare once again. Julian twisted the elerator of his bike and increased its speed so he doesn''t fall behind, after some time he finally reaches Nuvema town, its a pretty big town, not as big as a city but very close, he slows down and looks around as he sees people talking to each other in whispers and pointing at a direction. He realized that they are pointing at the direction where he is currently heading, Professor Juniper''sb. ____________________ Professor Juniper''sb_ Inside theb two people, one man, and one woman, both are wearing a white coat and looking at the screen in front of them, attached to the screen is a capsule, the screen is currently showing some readings and wavelength of quantum particles which are essential for teleportation to be a sess and from what they are seeing everything looks great. And now the only thing remaining is the physical test that needs to be performed and for that they need the files that Professor Oak has, they asked Professor Oak for the files and he said it''s on its way but they still haven''t received the files. "Did you ask Professor Oak about the file?" The man asked. He is none other than Professor Kukui, the man behind the invention of the teleportation device. "Yes, he said it will arrive in one or two days so we have nothing to worry about" Said the woman, she is Professor Juniper, she is a beautiful woman who is 30 years old, she never married anyone because she spent her whole life on researching about Pokemon and she is still the same, she is wearing a longb coat with a white blouse, short green skirt and sport sneakers, she is also wearing red cubical earrings. As they were looking at the screen two people walked in, both of them women, one is wearing a white coat and from the looks of it, she is a scientist as well and the other woman is non-other than Caitlin. "Professor Juniper, look who I brought with me" The woman in the white coat said with a smile on her face, Kukui and Juniper turned around and saw the two people behind them, they knew the first person, she is a scientist who is an expert in Dream World, a world which is very unique and mysterious, many ghost type pokemons who have control over dreams can enter it. This scientist''s name is Fennel, she is twenty years old, she has long dark blue hair, her eyes are blue and she wears sses over it. Professor Kukui and Juniper look at their guest in surprise as it is Caitlin, the strongest member of the Elite Four. Juniper "Miss Caitlin, what brings you here?" She asked in surprise and looked at her friend Fennel. Fennel "Caitlin is my friend, I told her about Professor Kukui''s project and the test being held here, she got excited and asked me to bring her with me" Fennel said and smiled. Caitlin "I hope I am not causing any trouble" She said and bowed her head a little towards Professor Kukui and Juniper. Kukui "We don''t mind it at all, it''s our honor but you will have to wait for a day as there are still some important files that need to arrive before we start our tests" Kukui said and smiled. Caitlin "I don''t mind waiting at all, I am really excited to see this" She said and smiled, that is when they suddenly felt a jolt and heard a loud humming sound getting closer to them, they figured that it ising from outside so they rushed out and saw a massive hovershiping down. Seeing the hovership Caitlin frowned as she recognized who this hovership belonged to. Chapter 601 - How Strong Is This Monster? Caitlin stood there and looked at the massive hovership descending down, she recognized the symbol on the hovership, the symbol is a shield-shaped badge which is ck and white and has P and S on it. Caitlin knew about this group, it is team sma and they have been a huge pain in the ass for the league in Unova, and they seem to be very strong as well, during some digging the league found that Team sma''s influence is beyond Unova and all over the world, they seem to be even bigger than the League itself. ?? But their main base is here in Unova, the league has tried very hard to find what Team sma is really after but they have no clue at all, the only thing that the league knows about Team sma is that their leader goes by N, they don''t know his name or purpose. They mostly go around trying to convince trainers to give away their pokemons and if they fail to convince the trainer they will use force. At first, the league was surprised by their actions and thought it was some small gang trying to cause some mischief and let the police handle them but soon they got out of hands and the league realized that this organization is massive with a lot of man and pokemon power behind them and they were a serious threat to the people living in Unova, there were some cases where trainers were so badly hurt by them that they had to be hospitalized for months, broken bones were verymon in their victim list. As the hovershipnded Caitlin pulled out her Pokeball and got ready to battle, as the door of the hovership opened many men in ck suits rushed out with pokeballs in their hand and region behind them were three men walking out of the hovership, all three of them have long white hair, they are wearing ck sleeveless shirts with baggy ck pants, all of them looked very simr. Their face are covered with ck cloth and they have a ck bandanna on their forehead. Their eyes looked lifeless as if they have no emotions at all. Caitlin frowned as she saw them this was her first time encountering these people. They slowly walked out and looked around. "Looks like we have an obstacle" One of them said with a very t tone, people wouldn''t know if he is angry, worried or happy, his voice didn''t show any emotions in it, he felt like a puppet. "....Indeed, there seems to be an obstacle, The Elite Four member Caitlin shouldn''t be here" Another one said with the same t tone. ".....It doesn''t matter, we will do as our Lord N said andplete the mission" The third one said. Caitlin "Who are you people?" She asked. She felt a dangerous vibe from these three men, they didn''t look normal at all. "...We are the Shadow Triad, we are beings of shadows, our mission is to take the teleportation project from you to our Lord N andplete our mission" The one in the middle said. Caitlin didn''t expect Team sma toe all over to Nuvema town to seat Professor Kukui''s project, well it is a very important project for the development of humankind so she knows why it is so valued, there have already been many attempts to steal the project but the league was sessful in defending it. But it''s different this time, no one should know about the testing process unless there is a mole in the League which is not surprising as there have been moles found inside the league before. Caitlin "I am warning you, turn away right now and no one gets hurt, if you continue any further, things will not end well for you guys" She warned them while tightly gripping to her Pokeball. "...We should get rid of the obstacle first, Number 2 and Number 3 take care of the Elite Four member while I retrieve the project, grunts take on the others" The Shadow Triad in the middle said and started to walk towards theb while the grunts that they brought rushed out and released their pokemons. They numbered in the fifties so Professor Kukui had to get serious, while he is a Pokemon Professor he is also a Pokemon Trainer who is above an Elite Level Trainer, not champion level but very close. Kukui "No one is taking my Project, Incineroar, Braviary, let''s go" Kukui sent out his pokemons as he got surrounded by Grunts and their pokemon, Professor Juniper and Fennel took cover as they don''t have any strong pokemons to participate in the battle. Caitlin rushed in front of Shadow Triad Number 1 to stop him and sent out her Metagross but the other Two Shadow Triads intervened and blocked her path and let Number 1 pass right by her as she couldn''t do anything as she is now engaged in a battle with two strong trainers. Both of then sent out their pokemons, one of them sent out an Absol and the other sent out a Bisharp, both these pokemons are strong and are releasing a very powerful aura. Caitlin got serious as she knows that this will be a hard one, she looks around and sees that Professor Kukui and his pokemons are also upied as he is surrounded by bunch of pokemons. Soon Caitlin and the Shadow Triad members start to engage in a very destructive battle that scares away the pokemons living around the area. ____________________ While all of them are engaged in the battle, the other member of the Shadow Triad enters theb without any resistance, some of theb assistants tried to stop him but they got knocked out by his pokemon elgor. The Shadow Triad member soon arrived in front of the mainputer where the Project is connected, he then takes out a drive and plugs it into theputer when he suddenly felt something, his body shivered from cold, he noticed that the surrounding has gone very cold and he felt chilly. Even though he doesn''t seem to have any emotional feelings he can feel other things, he started to shiver and rub his exposed arms, he looked at his pokemon who seems to be frozen on the spot and shivering in fear. He knew something was not right, he could see the fear in his pokemon''s eyes, he followed his pokemon''s line of sight which was his shadow. That is when he noticed it, his heart started to beat rapidly as fear overwhelmed him, those crimson red eyes, that hideous and scary grin, this is the first time he felt fear and it was overwhelming, he couldn''t handle it and suddenly threw up, to bad of him he was wearing his cloth so all that was still in his mouth. He ripped his face cloth and coughed while spitting out all that vomit, he backed away and noticed that the dark shadow stayed on the exact same ce. "elgor..... use Bug Buzz" His elgor snapped out and used Bug Buzz, it released powerful energy waves one after the other at the dark shadow on the ground but it doesn''t seem to have any effect at all. "Gegegegegegegegegege" Then the Shadow Triad member heard theugh, he fell to his knee and looked at the dark shadow which suddenly started to rise up, the man''s whole body went limp, his arms and legs totally gave up as he saw a big and scary Gengar. He never felt so helpless in front of a pokemon before, he even peed his pants after seeing Gengar, just the aura that Gengar released put his pokemon elgor into shock and it fainted from fear. Soon he also followed his pokemon''s fate and fainted but before that, he questioned, "How strong is this monster?". Chapter 602 - Julian? Well, the answer to his question is that Gengar broke through the limit, the third pokemon in Julian''s team to break though level hundred, after seeing what Giratina could do, Gengar understood some important principle and he made the breakthrough. But he still has a lot to do before he catches up to Snox, the sleeping monster who broke through in his sleep and Infernape the cheat who has the strongest mes in existence. ?? As Gengar''s aura was released something else happened as well. ___________________ Outside theb, things are going pretty well as Caitlin''s Metagross is able to hold off both Absol and Bisharp, even Professor Kukui and his Pokemons are holding up against the heard of pokemons that are constantly attacking them. Caitlin ordered her Metagross to use Metal w to counter Bisharp''s Night sh, as the two moves shed it created a massive shockwave and the Bisharp was sent flying backward, Caitlin''s Metagross is too strong of one of them to take on. Seeing Bisharp''s attack fail, Absol attacked from behind with Night sh as well, but Caitlin''s Metagross suddenly turned around and countered with another Metal w when something happened. Caitlin''s Metagross froze on the stop as it sensed something which put it in a state of shock and fear which caused the Night sh tond perfectly on Metagross and on top of that it seemed like a critical hit. Caitlin''s Metagross went crashing into the ground and got badly hurt. Caitlin "METAGROSS" She shouted in shock, she didn''t understand why this happened, from what she saw her Metagross could have easily deflected that attack but why did it stop and that Night sh did a lot more damage than it should have done. Even the Shadow Triad member seemed to be surprised by this but he didn''t care much about it and tried to go for the finish. Caitlin got worried as her Metagross is badly hurt and is struggling to collect itself. "End it.....Bisharp, Night sh" "You too Absol, Night sh" As both pokemons were going for a big one hit they started to charge up their attack, Absol''s horn grew bigger and started to glow purple, the same thing happened with Bisharp, the des in its hand became bigger and started to glow purple. As they were about to move for the finish, they suddenly heard a loud roaring from the top, they suddenly looked up as they felt chills run down their spine, they saw a massive blue energy dragoning down at them. The Absol was a little further so it moved to the side and dodged it while the Bisharp had no choice but to take it head-on, the massive energy dragon shut its jaws shut on Bisharp as it tried to counter with its Night sh. Everyone stopped as they saw the massive energy dragone down and crashed into the Bisharp, the shocking wave pushed everyone back on their feet, some weak pokemons and grunts were seen flying backward. As the smoke cleared up, everyone saw the culprit, it is a ck Garchomp and he is standing tall with Bisharp''s head beneath one of his legs, his gaze pierced through the Absol and made it back down in fear. Everyone didn''t know what was happening, the weaker pokemons stopped moving and just stood there. The two members of the Shadow Triad are shocked as well, they felt the power and they could see the damage done by this Garchomp, that Bisharp''s head is nted right under the ground with cracks extending from the middle. Everyone became silent as they didn''t know what is going on, why would this Garchompe and rescue them. Kukui "Isn''t that...." Before he could say it they heard a motor''s noise getting closer to them, all of them turned towards the direction and saw a man in a ck coat, his face covered with a ck mask, his head covered with a hood and riding on top of a ck bike. Julian "That''s enough you should all leave" He said while looking at the Shadow Triad members, hearing Julian they looked at each other then looked at the direction of theb. Julian "You should take that one with you as well" As Julian said this, the Shadow Triad members saw a ck shadow carrying a human and a pokemon out of theb, they were none other than the Shadow Triad member than entered theb and his pokemon. The shadow threw them towards the Team sma group and went towards the man in ck and blended into his shadow. Julian "I said, leave" He said once again and this time the aura was different, everyone in the surrounding got scared and they realized that it ising from the man''s shadow. The Shadow Triad members looked at each other and carried the fainted Triad member and signaled the grunts to fall back. ".....Mission failed, falling back, an unknown enemy has interfered with the mission" One of the Triad members spoke on the microphone attached to his ear and entered the hovership, the grunts followed behind. Soon the hovership took off and zoomed away in hurry, they were afraid as they might get hit and once they get hit, they wille crashing down. Julian just watched them fly away, he didn''t want topletely destroy these bunch of fools in front of Professor Juniper and thepany or it would leave a bad impression. Kukui "Julian?" Kukui was the first one to react as he looked at the man in ck. Juniper "Julian?" Caitlin "Julian?". Chapter 603 - Team Plasma Julian stood there looking at the people who were looking at him with wide-open eyes, he didn''t expect Kukui to recognize him to early, well since he is the only person Kukui knows to have a ck Garchomp so it was an easy guess. Julian got off his bike and pulled out the file from his dimensions pocket and looked around and walked towards Professor Kukui and gave it to him. ?? Julian "Delivery from Professor Oak, this is for Professor Kukui" He said without showing any emotions but it didn''t matter as his face is still covered, Kukui got confused for a second and took the file and started tough, soon Julian followed and started tough as well. Kukui "Looks like I was right, what are you doing here?" Kukui asked. He could recognize his friend anywhere. Julian "I said I will be heading to Unova right, Professor Oak gave this to me right before I left for here" He said and removed his face mask and his hood before finally revealing his face and identity to the others present. Julian "So who were they?" He asked. He is still curious about this group in ck who could own such a massive hovership, the biggest Julian had ever seen. Kukui "I don''t know, but I was fun seeing their face drop when your Garchomp entered the scene" Kukui said andughed, he remembered how scared those people got when they saw that massive energy dragon crashing into the ground and sending everyone flying back. Julian "I just went a little overboard, that was not needed" He said and sighed. He then turned towards Caitlin who is walking towards their direction. Julian "Miss Caitlin, it''s a pleasure to meet you, Cynthia told me about you" He said and shook her hand. Caitlin "It''s my pleasure as well to meet the strongest trainer, I hope Cynthia said all good about me." She said and smiled but inside she is nervous, this was Julian, her best friend''s boyfriend and also one of the strongest pokemon trainer in the world, she turned to look at the Garchomp beside him. She had seen Julian''s Garchomp in action on TV when he faced off against Cynthia''s pokemons in hisst battle, the power it showed was quite terrifying. She then looked at Julian''s shadow and frowned, she couldn''t tell what that shadow was but she didn''t understand when it got here and how did Julian know all this was going to happen. Julian "Looks like my Gengar scared your Metagross and got hurt, Gengar say sorry" Julian called out Gengar to ark sorry, Gengar slowly got out of his shadow and bowed down to Caitlin as if he is saying sorry but the massive grin on his face betrayed him, nobody would believe that Gengar would be sorry for his actions. Caitlin "How did Gengar get here and how did it no that Team sma was going to attack?" She asked. Julian "On my way here I saw the hovership and I thought it was weird so I sent Gengar behind it and if my guess was right he would take care of it and looks like I was right" He said and smiled. Caitlin nodded and stared at Julian for a few seconds. Caitlin ''No wonder Cynthia fell for him, he is really good looking, shit what am I even thinking'' She quickly shook off the thoughts in her head and nodded back with a smile as well. Julian "By the way, you said they are Team sma, what is all this about?" Julian asked. By now he is used to these stupid idiots who run massive organization to take over the world, Julian doesn''t understand these people at all, what would they even achieve after seeding in world domination and even if they were going for world domination they should at least make sense, they are destroying their own source of ie after destroying everything. Team sma would be another pile of shit in Julian''swn that he will have to clean up. Caitlin "Team sma, at first the league thought that they were only a small group of delinquents but soon we found out that they are a massive organization and they have influenced all over the world, evenrger than the league itself but their main headquarters is here in Unova so they are under the League''s watch, such a massive criminal organization cannot be left alone" She said and stopped. Julian "I see, I will keep an eye for them" He said and looked at Professor Juniper. Julian "Pleasure to meet you as well, sorry for all the property damaged done by Garchomp" He apologized to Juniper as he looked at the destroyed ground around theb, he still needs to check if there was any damage done inside theb as well. Juniper "No don''t worry about it, the insurance will cover it, I am just d that you arrived in time or we couldn''t have saved Professor Kukui''s Project, if it falls in the wrong hands it could be used for illegal purposes" She said and sighed while looking at the destruction that took ce, it will take some time before everything is repaired. Julian "Ok, so everything is here I guess, when will the testing start?" He asked Kukui. Kukui "Now that the file is here, I will go through them, do some cross-examination then start the test" He said and walked into theb and Julian followed right behind him with the rest of the party. Chapter 604 - Something Wrong Julian and the others entered theb and took a seat while Professor Kukui and Juniper did their stuff, Juniper''s friend Fennel also joined them to help with the project. Julian, on the other hand, talked with Caitlin and got to know more about Unova and how it runs around here. ?? Since both of them knew Cynthia it was not awkward at all, Caitlin talked about some childhood incidents between her and Cynthia and both of themughed at it. Seeing that it is time for the testing to be held Kukui called Julian and Caitlin to see it with their own eyes. They turned on the tworge capsules which started to glow from the bottom, Professor Juniper then brought a stone statue of a human on a cart towards on of the capsule, a Machamp followed right behind her and helped her put the stone statue inside one of the capsules. Now that everything is set, Kukui just needs to type in the coordinates and press enter and see the magic. As Kukui pressed Enter the capsule with the stone statue started to hum as the light from below started to cover the statue, the capsule''s inside got very bright as no one could see anything that was happening inside, suddenly the second capsule also started to hum and the space around it seems to have flickered a little before the light appeared in it as well, soon the light took the shape of the human statue, as both capsules stopped emitting light everyone could see the result. The stone statue has sessfully teleported from one ce to another, they had done these testings before but never with such a heavy object and seeing that it is sessful Professor Kukui got really happy. A teleportation device has finally been created. Julian "Congrattions, Kukui" He congratted his friend for the massive sess, even Caitlin congratted him along with others. Now that the first testing isplete, Kukui will head back and bring back a huge team with him who will start to mass-produce this machine. With this machine all over different regions, traveling will be much easier but it is not for everybody, it takes a lot of energy to transport one object from one ce to another so only people with money can use it for now. As time passes they will find a better alternative or the machine will be optimized further to perform more efficiently but for now this is enough, this is the first generation of teleportation device so it is a huge achievement to its created who is Kukui. The day went by and Caitlin left as she is a busy woman, same could be said for Kukui and Fennel as both of them also had their own work, Kukui headed towards Nimbasa city as it is the center-most city in Unova and that is where the main research is being held right now, it may not be the biggest city but it is one of the most important cities of Unova region. So Kukui has to go there quickly and give the good news to his team. Now that Julian''s job is done here he decided to rest here for few days before heading out and properly look around the vast Unova region and what is there for him out there. _____________________ Two dayster_ Julian is looking around Professor Juniper''sb, the habitat here is really suitable for pokemons and he found many pokemons roaming around the area. He also noticed that most of these pokemons are very weak, they seem even weaker than a starter that a novice trainer gets. Julian continued looking around when he heard someone that he recognized, he headed back to theb and noticed who it was, it was Ash. Julian saw Ash, his mother, and Professor Oak with Professor Juniper, he was wondering where she went early in the morning, it looks likes she went to fetch them. Julian "Professor Oak? What are you doing here?" He asked. He didn''t expect to see him here. Oak "Haha, I decided to go on a vacation and Unova is the best for this time of the year so I came here along with Ash, by the way, I heard the testing is over, wish I would have arrived a little early" Julian "Next time you want to do something, do it yourself and you won''t miss out" He said and chuckled and finally looked at Ash and Pikachu once again, that is when he noticed it, Pikachu seemed different. He got closer to Pikachu and kept his focus on him, he then noticed some spark discharge out of Pikachu''s cheeks. Ash "Julian, what is it?" Ash got worried as he saw Julian looking at his Pikachu weirdly. Julian "Something is not right with Pikachu... Did something happen?" Julian asked. He couldn''t see the powerful aura that Pikachu had around him, during their battle in Sinnoh, Pikachu''s aura was very high and right now it seems nonexistence. Ash "Yes, something did happen, how did you know?" Julian "What happened?" Ash "Just when we arrived in Unova, Team Rocket showed up and tried to snatch Pikachu but suddenly a massive storm appeared with a giant thundercloud which was spitting out lightning" Julian ''Thundercloud?'' Julian frowned when he heard this. Ash "And then suddenly a massive lightning bolt struck Pikachu, Pikachu then retaliated with his own Thunderbolt and you know what I saw inside the Thundercloud?" Ash got excited. Julian "A Pokemon?" Ash "Yes a Pokemon, it was like a shadow with red eyes and there was lightning all around it, it looked very strong, and when it disappeared the storm disappeared as well" Julian ''I can''t believe I missed Zekrom'' Julian thought and sighed. Julian "Ok, that''s enough, you should go and show Pikachu to Professor Juniper, there is definitely something wrong with him and she might be able to help" He said and patted Ash''s shoulder and stood straight to see Professor Juniper and Oak have already left with Ash''s mother. Julian "You should go catch up to them" Hearing Julian Ash realized that he got left behind and ran towards them, as Ash went away the smile on Julian''s face disappeared and got reced with a worried expression. He could feel it, Pikachu seems to have lost something but he couldn''t tell what. Chapter 605 - First Pokemon In Unova Julian then continued what he was doing, looking around theb, to his surprise Professor Juniper''sb was really big. Being one of the most important professors in Unova region the league put everything that is useful to Professor Juniper''s research, her whole life till now has been spent on researching the origin of pokemons itself and it was a huge topic in this pokemon world, which was the very first pokemon. ?? Some people say Mew is the first pokemon ever but every research till now states that every pokemon that lives on thend is a descendant of a pokemon that lived in the ocean before everything. This world is so weird that even Julian has a hard time putting everything together, it was very mysterious, Julian became interested in Professor Juniper''s research, to find the origin of pokemon. If Mew was really the first pokemon, did it start its life in the ocean? Julian had these questions, he asked the system for an answer but it didn''t know as well, soon he gave up and decided to do what he does the best, look around and see if he can find a pokemon that is suitable for his team. Since there are some people around here he put on his mask and hood and started to look around, the people whoe here are novice trainers and people who need to catch a pokemon with no effort for a pet or a partner. After looking around Julian felt helpless and sat down on the grass and looked at the bright and sunny sky, he has been here for an hour now but he didn''t find any suitable pokemon for his team, as he was thinking about what to do, he noticed Crystal woke up from its sleep, he sighed and pulled out a bottle of MooMoo milk and some pokemon food. It was time for his pokemons to eat their lunch, he called out all his pokemons and set up everything, Infernape, Gengar, Snox, the original three, Julian''s most important pokemons, then Garchomp and Victini who Julian brought to Unova as well, they were the best candidate to grow even stronger and maybe one-day reach levels simr to Gengar and others. He ced all their lunch in front of them and sat down looking at the sky, he noticed some pokemons approaching them after smelling the food and he weed them, currently his team is very small so he has a lot of food with him so he didn''t mind feeding few of these wild ones. He just sat there and watched, not bothering with these pokemons, as they all finished all their food, Julian noticed a new visitor, it is a small chubby round red pokemon with a very cute smile on its face walked towards them, every step it took was funny to Julian. It moved its whole body to just take a step, Julianughed seeing how cute this little one was, the little pokemon in non-other than Darumaka. Darumaka got close to Julian and looked at him with his cute eyes asking for food, Julian smiled awkwardly as he saw that all the food was eaten, well he had some extra food inside his pouch but it might attract more attention. Julian "Sorry but everything is over" Julian smiled and patted the Darumaka''s head, Darumaka understood what Julian said and got sad, soon tears started toe out of his eyes and he started to cry, Darumaka then got angry and charged at the other wild pokemons who were around Julian because they ate his food, these wild pokemons were surprised but they were ready to battle. But this Darumaka caught Julian''s attention as he noticed fire energy building up inside this little Darumaka, the Darumaka then shot an Ember at one of the pokemons, for his size and level this Ember was very strong, Julian got surprised, it even caught Infernape''s attention. Infernape then stopped the Ember with his hand and looked at Darumaka, Darumaka got startled as he saw his Ember got stopped by Infernape. Darumaka got pissed and shot another Ember and this time it was at Infernape, the Ember just touched Infernape and disappeared without doing anything, it was like Darumaka is trying to throw a cotton ball at Infernape. Julian chuckled and lifted Darumaka who got caught by surprise, he tried to struggle out of Julian''s grip but it was useless. Julian "Ok, calm down, here have this" Julian said and pulled out a Spelon berry, one of the spiciest berries in this world, fire pokemons love these, it was also Infernape''s favorite so Julian has a lot of them with him, Darumaka got excited and chomped down on the Spelon berry. After chomping down all the berries in one go, it felt the spice and then shot out fire from its mouth, even fire type pokemons are not immune to the spiciness of this berry that is why they loved it. After breathing out all the fire the Darumaka got satisfied. Julian "Hey little one, want toe with me, I have a lot of these berries with me" Julian said. He sounded like a suspicious man who is bribing a small kid with candies, luckily no one is around so no one heard him. Darumaka got excited when he heard that there is more delicious food and berries with Julian he decided to follow Julian and gave a big nod to Julian with his whole body tumbling down as he fell on his face, he then struggled a little and got back to his tiny feet with the same cute smile on his face. Julianughed seeing this clumsy little fellow and pulled out a Pokeball and touched Darumaka with it, the ball didn''t even beep for three seconds, it was a sessful catch under a second. And just like that Julian found his first Unova pokemon, he could tell that this Darumaka is a strong one as he already knows how to channel his energy to release a strong fire attack. As Julian picked up the Pokeball it opened and Darumaka came out on its own and stared at Julian with its big round eyes, Julian knew that Darumaka is asking for more. Julian sighed and took out some more Spelon berries and gave it to Darumaka, once he got satisfied he rolled down on his back while rubbing his stomach with its tiny hands and burping out small bits of fire. Chapter 606 - Ash Vs Trip As Darumaka''s belly got stuffed with all those berries he closed his eyes and decided to take a quick nap but before it could, he felt something crash into his belly which made his breath more fire. He tried to get up but something kept bouncing on his round belly making him unable to get up, Darumaka felt helpless and looked at Julian for help but saw Julian just smiling, he felt that Julian is very cruel, leaving him in such a situation and smiling. ?? The bouncing suddenly stopped and Darumaka finally saw the culprit, it is Crystal who just found itself a new friend, Crystal still sat on top of Darumaka''s belly and waved its tiny hands over his face introducing itself. Julian "You both now get along ok" Darumaka finally got back to his feet after struggling a few times, his round body made it harder for him to get back to his feet, Julian noticed this, his new Darumaka has trouble moving around, he could tell that this Darumaka is quite a young one, it still doesn''t know how to move properly with his round body. Julian knew he had to work on that but it was not much of a problem, he has faced harder challenges than this. Julian "Ok, everyone let''s go" Julian said and sent everyone back to their Pokeball and put everything away, Crystal went back inside Julian''s pocket and Gengar inside his shadow while the rest of them back to their Pokeball, since he has finally caught his first pokemon in Unova, he decides to head back and get ready to leave, he was d that he stayed for a few days and looked around, his Darumaka is a great catch and will be one of the strongest pokemons in Julian''s team. With Infernape by his side, Darumaka will be able to learn how to control his fire more efficiently and bring out his destructive powers. As he made his way towards the front of theb he noticed something, he saw Ash with his Pikachu standing across a kid with dirty blond hair wearing an orange over a ck hooded vest. Julian "Oh a battle" Julian got excited and walked forward to get a good view but before he got any further, his pouch shook and his new Darumaka came out and stood in front of him, Julian sighed and picked him up in his arms and walked towards Ash and the kid he is battling, he didn''t disturb them and just watched from a distance. The kid sent out a Snivy, seeing the Snivy Julian is impressed, it looked strong for a beginner pokemon while Ash sent out Pikachu. Julian looked at Pikachu and frowned again, he could still tell that something was wrong with Pikachu, he decided to watch the battle and see if he was right. The battle started and the kid called out a Vine Whip as his first move to which Pikachu dodged it easily, there is no question that Pikachu''s speed is unrivaled and he is facing against a beginner level pokemon. Ash "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt" As Ash called out his move, Pikachu charged up to unleash a powerful lightning bolt at his opponent but for some reason, nothing happened. Julian ''Looks like I was right'' Julian thought as he saw Pikachu unable to use Thunderbolt. Ash "Pikachu, use Electro Ball" The same thing happened again which is nothing, Pikachu isn''t able to strike with Electric attacks. Kid "What are you even doing, why are you bbering moves that your pokemon can''t even use" The kid mocked Ash. Julian looked at the kid and saw how he looked at Ash, to which Julian just sighed, he has seen these kinds of kids before, Paul was one of them but during their journey, they change so it didn''t matter how they are at the beginning of their journey. Kid "Let''s end this, Snivy use, Vine Whip" Ash "Pikachu dodge then use Iron Tail" Pikachu jumped away and dodged the Vine Whips and charged at Snivy and used Iron Tail, the attack activated and Ash was relieved. Ash "Good, it looks like only Electric-type moves are not working" Pikachu descended on the Snivy with his Iron Tail but the Snivy moved away and dodged the attack as Pikachu destroyed the ground with his Iron Tail. Kid "Now let''s get this over with, use Leaf Tornado" When Julian heard this he got surprised, then he saw the Snivy create a Leaf Storm in front of his eyes. Julian ''This is bullshit, how can a beginner level pokemon use Leaf Storm?'' He questioned and looked at Pikachu, Pikachu got pulled into the Leaf Storm and then got mmed on the ground. Kid "It''s over" He said with confidence as he saw Ash''s Pikachu on the ground down but he got surprised as he saw Pikachu get back to his feet and shake off that hit with some dirt over his body, well Pikachu might have lost his Electric powers but he is still a pokemon that went head to head with Julian''s pokemon in the finals of the Sinnoh League, how could that Leaf Storm from a beginner level pokemon hurt him. Well, Julian is still impressed by the Snivy. Ash "Pikachu, are you ok?" Ash asked to which Pikachu nodded with a yes. Ash "Good, let''s show him, use Quick Attack" Pikachu suddenly disappeared from his stop and suddenly appeared right in front of Snivy shocking both Snivy and the Kid, the Snivy got hit and went flying backward and crashed into the ground. Ash "Finish it will Iron Tail" Pikachu continued and appeared right in front of the fallen Snivy who got back to its feet after struggling but before it could do anything, it got hit by Pikachu''s Iron Tail and was once again sent crashing into the ground and this time it was over. The kids Snivy got knocked out, seeing the result Julian was not surprised, the Kid was good but he didn''t have much experience as Ash and his Pikachu is way above Snivy''s level. The Kid picked up his Snivy that is when he noticed a man in ck with his face covered with a cloth mask approach Ash with a Darumaka in his hand. Ash got excited with his win but suddenly stopped as he noticed Pikachu suddenly copsing on the ground from dizziness. Ash "Pikachu" He rushed towards Pikachu and picked him up. Julian "Ash" He called him out. Ash turned around and noticed Julian. Julian "Go to Professor Juniper, just like I said something is wrong with Pikachu, let him rest for a few days and don''t get into any battles" Ash nodded and rushed into theb with his Pikachu who seemed very weak, just as Julian expected, Pikachu is not well, it might be an electric overload as he heard Ash saying Pikachu got struck by Zekrom''s lightning before. He then turned around and looked at the Kid who is just standing there. Julian "What is your name kid?" He asked. Kid "Trip" He answered. He doesn''t know why but he felt that this man in ck was very strong. Julian "Trip huh? Take care of that Snivy well, it''s a special one, if you train it well you will have a very strong partner by your side" He said and walked away, Julian noticed his Darumaka also got excited seeing the battle as it moved his hands to do some punches. Julian "You also want to battle huh?" He asked with a smile to which Darumaka nodded. Julian "Haha, you will, but first, let''s learn how to walk properly". Saying so he walked into theb as well leaving Trip behind. Chapter 607 - Zekrom Julian walked into Professor Juniper''sb and took a seat outside the checkup room, he saw Professor Juniper doing something in front of herputer while Ash and others were around Pikachu who is currently contained inside a container. Just as Julian expected, Pikachu seems to be suffering from some kind of electric overload which made him unable to use any electric type moves, being an electric type pokemon, Pikachu relied on it as energy to maintain a healthy body so not able to use it means he was growing weaker. ?? If he is unable to tap into his electric source it might be fatal as it is the most essential thing for a pokemon to stay alive. Once its energypletely disappears it might die, Julian is a little worried about Pikachu but he still has sometime before things get out of control. If Pikachu''s health continues to get worse, Julian will have to call Electivire and charge Pikachu up and get him back to normal but Julian didn''t jump in. The people inside the room are Professors who are very knowledgeable in the field of pokemon, they can surelye up with something, it doesn''t always have to be Julian toes to the rescue of others. As Julian was thinking about it, he felt the surrounding change as the temperature dropped at an extreme rate, he could hear the winds outside theb going wild. It was as if a storm has arrived, Julian rushed outside as he felt mysterious energy around the area, it was very destructive and bold, he could feel it. He looked up at the sky and noticed a ck could, it was the same ck cloud he had seen in the TV, now that he looked at it, he realized how big this thing really is, on the TV it looked very small but in reality, it covered the whole sky. Julian couldn''t see the end of this storm cloud at all, he also noticed the massive hole in the middle of the cloud, it was spinning really fast as lightning crackled inside it as it rumbled and shook the ground, while the middle of the cloud was spinning at extreme speed, its outer part was rtively slow. Julian got excited as he could feel the powering from this thunder cloud, Julian could tell that this is the job of the legendary pokemon Zekrom. Soon the center of the cloud stopped right over Professor Juniper''sb as the energy around it started to build up. This was a very different energy, it was not as strong as the one he sensed from the creation trio but it was definitely stronger than the weather trio from Hoenn. This Zekrom is a monster but Julian didn''t understand what it is doing here, but his question was answered when the built-up energy suddenly got released in the form of a massive lightning bolt. Before he could even react the lightning bolt struct the antenna fixed on top of theb and then something happened. Julian heard Pikachu''s scream from inside as he saw bolts of lightning rip through the walls and windows of theb, this lightning bolt is being released by Pikachu. Julian put up a shield in front of him as he saw one of the lightning bolting towards him. The barrier he created stopped the bolt of lightning sessfully. Julian looked up at the cloud once again and he finally saw what he wanted to see, the Silhouette of Zekrom, it was a big ck shadow figure in the middle of the cloud with glowing red eyes and lightning surrounding it, it was just like how Ash described it to be. Soon the massive bolt of lightning that hit Professor Juniper''sb disappeared along with the storm cloud, Julian looked around the sky but he could find no trace of Zekrom what so ever. It was as if it wasn''t present at all, this excited Julian, this Zekrom was clearly the strongest legendary pokemon he came across, except the creation trio, they are gods, it not fair topare them with legendaries at all. They are in their own league. Julian wanted to know more about this dragon and its origin, as he was in his thought process he heard a Thunderbolt being released inside Professor Juniper''sb, he quickly rushed inside and saw Ash covered with electricity, it seems he got hit by lightning but he wasn''t affected at all. Ash "Ok, Pikachu, use Volt Tackle" Pikachu suddenly rushed towards Ash and crashed into him with a Volt Tackle, seeing this Julian was surprised, it looks like Pikachu is back to normal and Ash is as careless as usual, taking a Volt Tackle like that was not something anyone would want to. Julian "Looks like Pikachu recovered" Julian said and entered, seeing Julian Ash got excited and rushed towards him, Ash finally took a good look at the Darumaka in Julian''s hand. Ash "What pokemon is this?" He asked curiously. Julian put Darumaka down so he could interact with Pikachu and the Oshawott that is in the room. Julian "A Darumaka which I just caught recently" He answered as he watched his Darumaka getting familiar with Ash''s Pikachu, he looked at Oshawott beside Pikachu and did think anything, he could tell that this one is below average, not a pokemon Julian would want to train but it is still cute. Oak "Oh, look at this little one, he seems very feisty" Professor Oak said as he saw Darumaka who is trying to pull Pikachu''s ear but his hands are too short to get a hold of them. Julian picked him up again, he realized that he has another trouble maker in the group and sighed. Julian "I just came to say that I am leaving" Julian said. Oak "What did you think about that storm cloud?'' Professor Oak asked. Julian "The possibility of it being caused by Zekrom is very high, the energy behind that lightning bolt was very high, it was definitely not normal" Juniper "As expected, it really might be Zekrom the legendary pokemon" She also had the same theory, she spent her whole life in Unova so she knows about the myths and legends of the region. This is not the first time a storm cloud like this has been seen, in the past, it has appeared several times but there is no evidence that connects it to Zekrom, some people think it''s just a normal storm while others believe that it really is Zekrom. But it really didn''t matter. Julian "I will be going then" Saying so Julian left, his work here is done and he has rested enough, now its time for him to look around Unova and see what it has in store for him. Bidding his farewell he disappeared into the horizon as Julian started his Unova journey. Chapter 608 - Potential Candidate Julian took the same route he used to get to Nuvema Town, his current destination is Striaton City as its the closest city and it also has a pokemon Gym but before that Julian needs to catch too more pokemons before he can challenge the gym. He has his Darumaka who needs training and no one else, using any of this older pokemon is just cheating so he didn''t even bother. ?? He needs to catch new pokemons. When he came through this route before he didn''t find any pokemon that caught his eye but he was not trying to find one but now he needs to find some so he decided to camp inside the forest and explore. It''s been months since he camped inside a forest, as he explored the jungle that lies between Nuvema Town and um Town he found the same pokemons one after the other but nothing that caught his eye, he decided to go deeper but no sess, every pokemon he encountered were quite normal in his eyes. Even though they are all new species of pokemons to Julian they just caught his curiosity but he soon lost interest in them, sometimes he would feet them and send them away, that is all he did during his stay in the forest. Even though he missed camping outside in the forest he now wanted a soft bed to sleep on. ___________________ It is another day inside the forest, Julian is currently training his Darumaka how to use his round body for his advantage, having a round body was really a good thing, it could help them dispel energy easily, it also helped them move around easily if they master the art of rolling. Since Darumaka''s hands and legs are so smallpared to his round body this was the best way to move during a battle. When he is not in a battle he could wobble between his legs and walk as he liked but during a battle, one needs to be very fast if their defense is not high and Darumaka has no defense right now, he is just a powerful attacker, he needs some speed and movement techniques before he is ready for battle. Julian thought Darumaka how to use his hands and legs while he is rolling around to make sharp turns and jump up, after two days of training Darumaka finally learned how to move during a battle, he let Darumaka battle with Victini, Victini didn''t use its full power, it just used tackle and dodge so Darumaka can understand how a battle really works. After training was over Julian fed them their lunch and then decided to leave, this forest didn''t have any pokemon that caught his interest, after packing up everything he started to walk towards the road. After walking for a while Darumaka suddenly came out of his Pokeball and started to look around, Julian sighed, this Darumaka was too much, he always wanted to explore, he woulde out of his Pokeball for no reason. Even during the night he woulde out of his pokemon while sleeping and sleepwalk, Julian felt troubled by this little one, this is the first time Julian encountered such a trouble maker, even Gengar and Crystal didn''t bother him this muchpared to Darumaka who has been with him only for a few days. Julian "Darumaka, walk straight" Julian ordered. At least Darumaka listened to him, seeing where Julian is pointing at, Darumaka started to walk towards that direction, since Darumaka liked to be outside he couldn''t force him inside his Pokeball. As Darumaka made his way towards the road something happened, as he got right below a tree something fell down and crashed on top of Darumaka''s head causing him to roll back. Darumaka ended up in his back, he tried to get back to his feet by moving his hands and legs to tool back up, he sessfully got to his feet and looked at the thing that fell on top of his head angrily. Julian also looked at this pokemon curiously, it is a blue pokemon with a yellow belly and two tiny teeth inside its mouth, it also had small hands and legs. To Julian, it looked like a seed that could hang on a branch, Julian recognized this pokemon, it''s a Karrast, Julian carefully observed this pokemon. He finally found a potential candidate for his pokemon team but there is a problem, it''s a Bug-type and Julian has never trained a bug type pokemon till now, this could be challenging or very easy. He noticed his Darumaka is really pissed and his now shouting at the Karrast. Julian took out his phone and searched for Karrast on the inte, he didn''t know what this pokemon evolved into, his search result soon came and he was surprised to see the result, this little bug can evolve in a very strong physical attacker, it evolves into Escavalier, not only does this pokemon know for their powerful Physical attacks but they also have very strong Defense and Special Defense, the only drawback was there speed, they are very slow. This pokemon is a real tank, on that hits hard and can take hard hits, a perfect pokemon to have, Julian decided to catch it, it will be a challenge to raise a Bug-type pokemon for the first time but he is ready to take on this challenge, he also heard that it is very easy to rise bug type pokemons so Julian felt a little relieved. Julian "Darumaka, this will be your first battle are you ready?" He asked Darumaka. Darumaka looked at Julian and nodded his head and in the process, he suddenly tumbled down on his belly which is really embarrassing, seeing Darumaka go down like that Karrast started tough and mock Darumaka. This pissed him off, he moved his body up and down and got back to his legs, ready to battle. Chapter 609 - Darumaka Vs Karrablast Since this is Darumaka''s first battle he is a little excited about it. When he saw Ash and Trip have their battle he got excited with all the explosions happening on the battlefield. He is not eager to have a pokemon battle, he just wants to create explosions like them, Julian still hasn''t realized this but when he does he will not know what to think of it. ?? Opposite to Darumaka is Karrast, the second pokemon Julian is nning to catch. Julian "Darumaka use Ember" Listening to Julian, Darumaka shot an Ember, even though this Ember looks strong it is not, Darumaka knows how to channel fire inside his body properlypared to any other young newborn pokemons, but when ites to special attack Darumakacks power, their species are not really built for Special Attack, they are physical hard hitters. The Ember shot towards Karrast but it dodged it easily, the Ember then hit the ground and disappeared, seeing this Darumaka got pissed, not because he didn''t hit his opponent, but he couldn''t create an explosion. Julian, on the other hand, thought that his Darumaka is getting pissed for not hitting his opponent. Julian "Don''t worry, continue with Tackle" Hearing Julian Darumaka leaned forward and started to roll towards Karrast, seeing this the Karrast got confused, it didn''t understand what Darumaka is doing but it is not stupid to just stand there and take the iing hit. Karrast suddenly used Endure and waited for Darumaka to hit it, as Darumaka continued rolling he got closer to Karrast and when his legs touched the ground again heunched his body at Karrast as he went flying towards Karrast and crashed into it. After getting hit Karrast got pushed back, it was hurt but not anything serious, that Endure it used helped it take on the Tackle, Darumaka''s are powerful hitters and at their level, it doesn''t really make a difference at all. These pokemons are so weak that one good hit can end it, using Endure was a really good strategy. As soon as Karrast regained its footing on the ground it suddenly used Bug Bite on Darumaka, Darumaka got bit as he has nowhere else to dodge. Darumaka is sent rolling backward but he survived the attack, at the end of the day it was just a bug type attack and Darumaka is resistant to it. Julian ''This pokemon is really good, it will be a waste for it to spend its life in this forest when it can be turned into a very strong pokemon'' Julian "Ok, Darumaka, ytime is over, use me Wheel, walking was not the only thing Julian had been teaching Darumaka, he also thought his how to use me Wheel, to Julian''s surprise his Darumaka learned the move very quickly. Seeing a rolling ball of fire approaching it Karrast panicked, it is not fast enough to dodge this and it doesn''t have enough strength to counter it as well, so it decided to take it head-on and use Endure once again hoping it will sessfully survive it. Darumaka crashed into Karrast and what he wished for finally happened, a small explosion, as the smoke cleared up Julian was surprised as he saw the Karrast has still not fainted but it was in no position to battle as well, Julian quickly took out a Pokeball and tossed it at the Karrast, the Karrast got engulfed by the Pokemon and it beeped three times and finally stopped, the catch is sessful and Julian caught his second pokemon in Unova. He looked at Darumaka and saw his hopping and rolling around happily, Julian thought that Darumaka is happy because he won his first battle but he is wrong, Darumaka is happy because he created an explosion. Julian didn''t say anything and brought his new pokemon out of the Pokeball, Karrast came out of the Pokeball and looked at Julian who just caught him, Julian realized that he caught another male pokemon but it really didn''t matter. Julian then took out a berry and gave it to Karrast so he can replenish his energy, Karrast munched up the berry happily, Darumaka also joined in seeing Karrast eating berries alone, Julian gave Darumaka a normal berry but he looked at it with confusion, he then passed the berry to Karrast and looked at Julian again. He wants the spicy one, the one he had before, Julian sighed, this little one is very demanding, he took out the Spelon berry and gave it to Darumaka who munched it in one go. Now that Julian caught his second pokemon he headed back to the road and headed towards um town, there should be a pokemon center there where he could give a health check-up to his Darumaka and Karrast, both are young and they need normal heath checks to know that they aren''t suffering from anything serious. And so a few days passed, Julian reached um town and did a health check on both his pokemons and bought a room in a hotel to stay for the night, since this is not a big city he cannot buy any luxury room for himself but it didn''t matter, the hotel he is currently staying in is peaceful and nobody seems to disturb him, just the way he likes. Chapter 610 - Battle Clubs Julian woke up early and fed his pokemon before heading out for normal training. Since Darumaka and Karrast are still young they won''t need super hard training for some time, after building up a solid foundation then they can get through some rough trainer to power up, till then they can enjoy their blissful life. ?? Morning training is over and Julian noticed that Darumaka and Karrast didn''t get along very much, small quarrels would break between them, well all of them was started by Darumaka as he is the one who always tried to cause trouble and both of them would end up getting hit by Julian on their head for being mischievous. Julian was little annoyed by his Darumaka, he was like a naughty human child who would go around ringing doorbells of some elderly citizen just to piss them off. After training was over Julian gave them some time to y along with Crystal while Infernape and Gengar kept a watch on them, little do these little ones know that they are in presence of very powerful monsters. After they were done ying Julian decided to take a loot around the town,st time he was here he just passed through the town without taking a look at all, this time he didn''t want to do so, what is the use of traveling to different towns and cities if he didn''t take a look around and see what it has to offer. After looking around for a while Julian felt that this town was pretty good, it was peaceful and the surround here was very clean, the people living in the town are very friendly as well. Julian continued forwards and finally arrived in front of a big building, but this building looked like a stadium from outside. Julian got curious and walked closer to the massive building when he saw some young pokemon trainers enter the building with their pokemon, he looked around and saw a man wearing a grayish blue dress, it looked like some kind of uniform that ismon between martial art practitioners. The man is quite big and he has a red belt around his waist, Julian approached this man to ask some questions. Julian "Mister, what is this ce?" Julian asked. The man stared at Julian, he looked at the young man in front of him who is wearing a ck mask covering his face, he didn''t understand why this young man is covering his face but it has nothing to do with him. "This is a Battle Club, trainers from all around Unovae to a battle club to battle with other random trainers to hone their pokemon skills" Hearing the man exin what this ce is Julian got interested, he decided to give this a try, since his pokemons have just gotten used to battling, it will be a good exercise for them to battle some random trainers. Julian "It is free or is there a sign-up process?" He asked. "Young man, you need to get a pass before you battle other trainers and keep in mind that the trainer you are battling should also have a pass, you can use this pass in other battle clubs around Unova as well" The man said with his mustache going up and down while speaking. Julian "So there is more than one Battle Club huh?" "Indeed, Battle Clubs are really famous in Unova, it''s the best way for a trainer to get stronger" The man said. Julian "Ok, thank you for your time" Julian said and walked into the battle club as he wants to register and get a pass for himself, it didn''t take too long for him to get a pass, when he walked in he saw ady at the receptionist who gave him a battle pass after he gave her some Pokedors, whatever establishment it is, they need money to function. Julian then around and saw small shops around the area which sold all necessary items that can be useful to pokemons and their trainers, Julian is quite impressed by this battle club for now. Julian could hear the sound of a pokemon battle being held deeper inside the building so he followed the sound and end up on a balcony and looked down on what is happening, just like him there are several people looking at the battle as well, some are beside him while some are below him next to the battlefield. He looked at the trainers who are facing of against each other, both of them are novice pokemon trainer, anyone could tell that by seeing how they battled, but the most important factor is by looking at their pokemon. If a pokemon is fully evolved people would think that the trainer is not a novice but if his or her''s pokemon are not fully evolved and are just in their first stage, ninth percent of the time they are new trainers who just got their pokemons or have spent some time with them. There are special cases like Julian who catches new pokemons every time he visits a new region but he still is an experienced trainer or like Ash who does the same but his Pikachu is different, even though he is not fully evolved he has the power to face off against any Elite Four pokemon. These cases are rare so people never think about the possibility. Julian continues watching the battle going down below him, the trainers are using a Pidove and a Lillipup, both are young pokemon who still have a lot of potentials to grow into a stronger version of themselves. The battle finallyes to an end with the Pidovends a nice Peck on the Lillipup from behind, with that the Lillipup faints and everyone cheers for the winner, Julian just continued to watch as both trainers shake hands and walk away. Chapter 611 - Karl Julian continued to watch as he saw one trainer after anothering and battling each other, it was not just random battle as well, trainers here looked at the trainers who are battling and would challenge the ones who they think are perfect they are the perfect opponent. Julian realized how this all worked so he was about to give a try when he heard someone. ?? "This is bullshit, I came here expecting I would find some real challenges but it looks like everyone here is just amateurs" Hearing this Julian stopped and looked down to see who this person is, he then saw a young man who seems to be around his age walk out of the crowd, he has a slim face with spiky red hair on his head, nted eyes looked very menacing. Julian decided to watch as he felt that this person is interesting. "Who do you think you are? talking shit here" A young man walked out of the crowd angrily, this young man is a regr in this battle club and it looks like the man with red hair has offended him. "You know nothing, wee here daily to be strong trainers by battling each other, instead of talking shit why don''t you show us your skills and if you win then I will believe that we are all amateurs" Hearing the young man speak from them the other trainers in the club stood behind him and supported him. "Hmph, amateur, let me show you what happens when you face of against a skilled trainer" The man said and took out his Pokeball and got ready for battle, the people around the battlefield blood him but the young man didn''t seem to mind it at all. Soon a big middle-aged man walked in, Julian saw this man before, he was the person who he talked outside the club, seeing the man everyone in the surrounding became silent. "Sir George, this person thinks that everyone in this club is amateurs, let me have a battle with him and teach him a lesson" The provoked youth said to this man called George, George looked at the young man in red hair for a few seconds before nodding his head. George "I Don George, the owner of this battle club will be the Official for this battle between these two young trainers" He said and took his stop as the referee, Julian is surprised to see this, he didn''t expect this person to be the owner of this battle club. As George took his ce the two trainers also got in their position. George "Both of you introduce yourself" He said. "My name is Ken, I was born and raised in this town" The offending youth said. "I am Karl, Ie from Kalos to answer to Champion Julian''s challenge" He said which caused a loud burst ofughter all over the hall, it is clear that all these people underestimate this man in red hair but Julian didn''t. He wanted to see what this man is capable off. George "SILENCE" George shouted causing everyone to shut up as they felt their soul shiver from that shout, Julian realized that this middle-aged man is a real fighter, with that aura around him anyone would get intimidated. George "This will be a two on two pokemon battle, both trainers choose your pokemon" As George gave the call both trainers tossed out their Pokeball and two pokemon entered the battlefield, the first pokemon is Blitzle an electric type pokemon that belongs to Ken and a Venipede which belongs to Karl" Seeing Karl''s Venipede Kenughed. Ken "Do you think you can take on the Champion Julian with your Venipede, you won''t even be able to put a scratch on his pokemon" Ken mocked him. Karl "Hmph, Julian isn''t the only one who can rise a pokemon from its first stage to a powerful one, I can do the same and I will defeat him and once I do that I will be called the strongest trainer, just beating him with my strongest pokemon is nothing because I know he is not using his best, so I will not use my best as well" He said with a firm voice, this, of course, caught Julian''s attention, he has never seen someone who would actually do this just to defeat him, all his opponents always tried to use their strongest o defeat him but this youth with red hair is different, this put a smile on Julian''s face that no one could see. This deration of his, of course, caused many people to boo at him and called him out for talking nonsense but Karl didn''t put any of those words in his ears Ken "Dream on, you are very delusional, I will show you your limit" Ken said angrily, he looked up to Julian and seeing some nobody telling that he will do exactly as Julian and defeat Julian was utter nonsense to Ken, he hated people like this. George "Now let the battle begin" George started the battle as he didn''t want to listen to these kids bbering about something he didn''t care about. Ken "Blitzle use Spark" Ken''s Blitzle charged at Venipede as its body was covered with electricity, it was a very powerful move, Julian could see that this Ken has done some training to perfect this move. Karl "Hmph, this is nothing, use Toxic" As Blitzle charged at it Venipede shot a spray of poisonous liquid at Blitzle which caused it to crash on the ground as its eyes got covered by it as well, Blitzle got poisoned by this. Karl "As I said, amateur, use Venoshock" Venipede then sent out a wave of poisonous energy at the fallen Blitzle which caused a lot of damage, Venoshock is very dangerous if the target is already poisoned as its effects get doubled. With no resistance, Blitzle got knocked out. It was a one-sided battle and everyone became silent seeing the result. Chapter 612 - Challenge Seeing the result of this battle everyone was surprised, it was not a great battle at all, there was no appeal to it at all, it started with a dash and ended within a few seconds after the Blitzle got hit by that Toxic. While everyone got serious about Karl, Julian just smiled, he could tell that Karl is an experienced trainer, while other trainers would back their pokemon off when the opponent is performing a powerful attack Karl used it to his advantage. ?? With the speed that Blitzle was rushing towards his Venipede, he didn''t need to do anything, just a normal spray of Toxic would sting after entering a pokemon''s eye who cannot dodge it, it was Blitzle who ran into the spray, Venipede did nothing. After it got poisoned the Venoshock ended the battle, it was just a battle between a pro and a novice nothing special at all. Karl "As I said, amateurs, I need to find a better club to improve my skills" Karl said and mocked his opponent, Ken is really frustrated, he got destroyed with a few seconds because he was too impulsive and rushed into a straight charge. Ken "The battle is not over, I still have a pokemon left, don''t think you won the battle just after our first exchange" Ken said and took out his next Pokeball and tossed it at the battlefield as a Pansear entered a battlefield, Julian looked at this pokemon, it looks like a fire monkey but nothing special, it didn''t stand out much while its opponent the Venipede is a pokemon with great potential. The second round began and to everyone''s eyes, Ken clearly has the advantage because his Pansear is a fire type pokemon, but it is not that simple. Ken "Pansear use Incinerate" This time he chose a safer route and attacked from a distance. Karl "This is boring, I will end this right now, Venipede, use Rollout" Karl''s Venipede turned itself in a ball by curling inwards and rushed straight to the Incinerate that was shot at it, rock energy covered its body as it started to roll, as Venipede made contact with the Incinerate it tore right through it, seeing this everyone was shocked, how could a bug type pokemone out unscathed from that? This question floated in everyone''s mind but the answer was simple, rock resist fire and covering itself with rock energy allowed it to resist the fire type attack, it was indeed hurt by that Incinerate but nobody could see it because Venipede is in the shape of a ball. It continued and crashed into the Pansear and sent it crashing but Venipede didn''t stop, it backed up and charged at Pansear again with double the power thanst time. The Rollout is a very good offensive move because it bes stronger and faster as the user continues using it. Seeing this Ken panicked and called out another Incinerate and his Pansear shot another one at the rolling Venipede and the same happened, it tore through the fire and crashed into Pansear again, this time the effect was even severe than before because of all that power and speed it gained, if the opponent cannot stop the user from rolling they should consider it a defeat because as time passes the move will be much stronger and faster. If a Rollout is really powered up to the max a pokemon can defeat another pokemon that is twice as strong and tough than the user. Pansear couldn''t take it anymore and it fainted after getting hit the third time, it wasn''t even able to counter, the battle ended and this trainer named Karl didn''t even break a sweat, his Venipede destroyed its opponents easily. George "This winner of this battle is Karl from Kalos" With the announcement, the battle ended and everyone became silent, this person was no joke, he defeated Ken who was clearly a strong trainer in this club, there are also others but none of them are here, most of them even left the town because they grew a lot stronger and this club could no longer be a challenge for them. A Battle Club''s strength depends on the trainers living in the town or a city, most trainers are travelers and they won''t stay for long so a strong trainer meant the reputation of the club was higher, there was some asion where a strong trainer who was traveling would enter a club to participate in battles and that was it. The strongest Pokemon trainer in a Battle Club is, of course, Don George but no one can challenge him because he has to do other stuff like referring a battle or taking care of troublesome trainers, there were always one or two of them causing troubles. Karl "As I said, everyone here is an Amateur, I wasted my time, I should find another Battle Club" Karl said and was about to leave when someone stopped him, it is none other than Julian, seeing how confident Karl was in his ability Julian got excited and wanted to battle, it was hard for him to meet interesting trainers like Karl and when he meets them he cannot just let them go without a battle. Julian "I want to have a battle as well" Julian walked out of the crowd and grabbed everyone''s attention, everyone turned about and looked at him, a young man covered in a ck dress as he hid behind a mask, Julian was a little careful right now so he deepened his voice while speaking so his fans doesn''t recognize him, he could clearly tell this room was filled with people who looked up to him. Karl "Who are you?" Karl asked. Julian "My name is Kevin, I am also aiming to win the Unova League, as I saw you battle I decided to test my skills as well" He said. Karl "Is this some kind of joke, are you one of these idiots, didn''t you see me battle, do you think you can defeat me?" Karl got a little pissed, he was already annoyed because he wasted his timeing to this Battle Club and finding no worthy opponent and now some crazy bastard in ck wants to battle him. Julian "Do you think I am joking, how about a one v one, you are not going to back downright, if you do feel free, I will take that as a win for myself" Julian said in a sarcastic tone, he is trying to piss Karl off, Julian liked being an asshole sometimes to trainer, it was fun seeing his opponents getting ticked off by his provocations. While everything happened Gengar was watching this from the shadow. Gengar ''Gegege, Master is a hypocrite, he keeps scolding me for having some fun, now look at him cause trouble himself, gegege, well it is funny though'' Gengar thought andughed in his own thoughts without alerting Julian. Karl is really pissed and decided to y this man''s game and excepted the challenge. Chapter 613 - Darumaka Vs Venipede Karl "Fine, I ept your challenge, once I defeat you, you have to pay up, my time is precious" He said, since he is going to stay here for a little longer he decided to get some cash as there is nothing better than cash to a trainer who is traveling around the region. ?? Julian ''Sure, its a bet then, how much will the winner get?" He asked. Karl "10000 Pokedors, if you don''t have that much don''t bother challenging me" Karl said hoping this man would back off after hearing the amount. Julian ''Sure, no problem, 10000 it is" Julian. Seeing the man agree to his demand Karl had nothing to say but take his position on the battlefield, Julian smiled and took his position as well, Don George looked at both trainers and decided to referee this match as well and stood right in the middle of the battlefield. George "This will be a one vs one pokemon battle, both trainers may now choose their pokemon" George said and waved his hand indicating the start of the battle, all the trainers around the area when silent as they wanted to know who this man in ck is and is he able to defeat this guy named Karl. Karl took out his Pokeball and sent out his Venipede once again to the battlefield, Julian smiled and sent out his Darumaka who is ready to create some explosions again. Karl looked at Darumaka, the pokemon his Venipede have to battle, after thinking about something he smirked, seeing the tiny legs on Darumaka, Karl is sure that it won''t be able to dodge attacks, if he tells his Venipede to use Rollout for a few seconds it will a be over in a sh and on top of that he will get 10000 poke dors as well which will be very useful for his trip, but he is not naive as well, he knows his opponent has seen him battle so he is cautious. Karl ''This man has seen how my Venipede moves around using Rollout, why would he send a pokemon like Darumaka on the field who are known for their awkward movements, is he nning something?'' Karl started to think. Karl ''The best way to figure out what he is up to is by attacking or does he expects me to attack and already has a counter-attack up his sleeve'' Karl started to think even harder. When facing an unknown opponent one has to be very careful and have to battle with strategy, they have to try their hardest to bring out their opponent''s ace at the beginning so they can deal with itter. Karl ''Or am I thinking too much, maybe he expects me to think too much and get distracted.....Shit this man has got into my head, I have to clear my thoughts'' Karl finally calmed down and took a deep breath. Julian who is on the other side is smiling as he senses the changes in his opponent''s mood, he could tell that his opponent is thinking too much which is obviously an advantage for him but right after few minutes, he saw Karl calm downpletely which surprised him. Julian ''Looks like I underestimated this guy, he might be a very strong trainer'' Julian thought and got excited. George "Let the battle begin" Julian went first as soon as he got the signal from Don George. Julian "Darumaka use Ember" Darumaka did as Julian said and shot a perfect Ember at Venipede, seeing this Karl smirked, this battle started just like his previous match, with a fire type special attack and this move is even weaker than his previous opponent, seeing this Karl''s confidence grew a lot. Karl "Let''s finish this with one hit, use Rollout" His Venipede turned itself into a wheel and rolled towards the Ember using Rollout, just like the previous time, Venipede''s body got covered with rock energy and it tore through the weak ember. Julian "Darumaka, forward" Seeing how Karl though that the battle was his to win Julian smiled, hearing Julian Darumaka moved as he lifted his two tiny hands up in the air and did a cartwheel, Darumaka also started to roll forward, seeing this everyone got surprised, they wondered what this Darumaka is doing. When it was about time for Venipede and Darumaka to sh everyone became tense, Karl didn''t understand what his opponent is thinking, he looked at the man in ck but he saw no emotions because his face is covered. His focus went back to the battlefield and what he saw next shocked him, as Venipede and Darumaka were about to sh, the Darumaka suddenly used its legs and stepped on Venipede, he then suddenly got on top of Venipede, seeing this everyone gasped. Now Darumaka is on top of the rolling Venipede and even he is rolling, as both of them are rolling in the opposite direction it created a scene where Darumaka got stuck on top of Venipede as it started to roll around. Karl is stunned, he has never seen something like this before, he noticed that his Venipede''s speed is increasing at a rapid phase along with the power behind the Rollout, if it stops now, it would be a huge disaster as there is nothing to stop it. Venipede might just crash into the crowd, Karl gritted his teeth and finally realized what his opponent has been thinking all along, he looked at the man in ck and realized that his opponent is not some amateur he thought him to be. Karl ''Wait, even he is stuck on top of Venipede, I don''t think his Darumaka will be able to hold up for much longer, one it is down that is when I will strike'' Karl thought and became patient, Julian could clearly read through Karl, he didn''t me Karl, even he would think the same if he wants to finish the opponent. But Julian has other ideas, he wouldn''t let his opponent''s pokemon build up so much energy if he didn''t n to use it. After waiting for a few seconds, Julian realized that Venipede is at its peak as it''s speed stop increasing. Julian "Darumaka, its time to end this, jump" As Darumaka is rolling on top of Venipede he hears Julian''s voice and as soon as his legs touch the back of Venipede he jumps propelling himself forward while Venipede goes the opposite direction. Karl "Venipede, quickly turn" Karl sees Darumaka jump so he knows his opponent is up to something and quicklymands his Venipede to take a turn but he realized that his Venipede''s speed is so fast that it is having a hard time turning around but Venipede sessful turns and charges at the direction Darumaka is falling. Julian "Now, use Dig" As soon as Darumaka touches the ground he uses Dig and borrows down and creates a big hole. Kart ''Shit it was a trap'' He thought but he could do nothing as he saw his Venipede roll straight into the hole and got stuck inside, the hole was big enough for a rolled up Venipede to fit in nicely. As the Rollout stopped Venipede tried to get out but it''s stuck. Julian "It''s over, use Fire Punch" And from below Darumakands a powerful Fire Punch to create a big explosion happily, Venipede is sent flying out of the hole as it left an explosion behind it and then crashed into the ground and fainted. Chapter 614 - Special Pokemons Karl is stunned as he sees his Venipede on the ground knocked out from a powerful Fire Punch from Darumaka, he looked at the Darumaka and noticed it dancing around happily after his win. Karl didn''t think his Venipede would go down so easily, he has been training really hard, he wanted to achieve what Julian does every time he participates in the league, that catches new pokemons and raise them to such an extent that they can win the whole league all by themselves. ?? Karl when through the battle in his head and realized that he was fighting on odds and he has a very slim chance of winning, his opponent has already seen his battling style and on top of that his opponent even got inside his head. George "Venipede is unable to battle, Darumaka wins" Don George called out the end to the battle on Julian''s favor and everyone around the battlefield cheered, they felt satisfied seeing the arrogant Karl getting defeated by a random trainer who he just met. Julian called back Darumaka to his Pokeball and decided to leave, Karl made a good impression on him but he has to improve a little more before he can challenge Julian again. Julian defeating Karl will fuel Karl to be even stronger and that is what Julian wants, he wants to face strong trainers who can hold their own against him in the league. Julian decided to leave as he is done for today, he will return back to his hotel room and rest for the day before leaving for Striaton city tomorrow, he also needs to catch a pokemon on the way so it will take some time before he gets to Striaton city and challenge the gym there. ______________________ The next day Julian woke up early and did his normal routine, meditate, train a little, then feed his pokemon, after everything was done he decided to leave um town and make his way towards Striaton city, that is where he will have his first gym battle in Unova. He wants to see how do the gym leaders of Unovapare to the ones he has seen in other regions, everything gym leader he has faced till now were different but all of them served the same purpose and that is to strengthen his pokemons. How impactful will the gym leaders of Unova bepared to the ones Julian has already faced. On his way towards Striaton city, Julian made a stop inside he forest to find a pokemon for himself but it didn''t turn out the way he wanted, he didn''t find any suitable pokemons at all, after searching for three days inside the forest he finally gave up. He decided to go with the current two he has, he has been training Darumaka and Karrast on how to battle and they are improving a lot and leveling up, now they are strong enough to take on a gym battle. Julian knows he will have to face against three pokemons in the first gym and most of them won''t allow a trainer will less than three pokemons to battle but the gym in Striaton city doesn''t seem to bother about it. The reason is that this gym has three gym leaders and they are brothers, some times they only hold two on two pokemon battles because one of them might not want to battle, them beingfortable with two on two pokemon battle is good. And even if they want a full three on three pokemon battle, Julian is confident enough to take down three of them with just two of his. Julian soon left the forest with not much thought behind it, finding a perfect pokemon is hard, he was very lucky the first time when he set out on an adventure in Kanto, he got lucky and found all good candidates for his team without trying hard, but this also made his realized that not all pokemons are born equal. Some of them are just stronger than others when they are born and they will soon be a pir of the pack if not captured by a trainer, after finding this Julian realized that he was very lucky to encounter all the pokemons he caught in Kanto. From then he started to look for better pokemons, who were born superior to their own species, these special pokemons have a lot of potentials and Julian knows how to bring it out. Till now he has encountered four of these pokemons, one is the Snivy he saw with that kid named Trip, his Darumaka and Karrast are also in its group and finally the Venipede he saw with that gut named Karl. These were exceptional pokemons that can grow a lot stronger, it depends on the trainer''s luck and skill if they can capture these types of pokemons, luck to find them, and skills to catch them. After a few days, Julian finally arrived at this destination, Striaton City, home to the Striaton gym and also the ce with one of the most delicious food Julian has ever had. Since he is already here he decided to visit the restaurant he visited on his way towards Nuvema town, he liked the food made here very much so he decided to bring some extra with him, the dessert here was also very delicious and he bought a lot of them because Crystal liked it a lot and so did the rest of his pokemons who were with him. As he was buying this he heard a familiar voice from behind, he turned around with all the bags full of dessert and looked at this person, it was none other than Karl. Karl "It''s you" Karl was surprised when he saw the man in ck right in front of him, he still couldn''t forget the defeat he faced when he went against this man in ck. Karl calmed himself and looked at Julian, after his defeat he started to train more and grew a little stronger thanst time but he still has no idea if he can defeat the man in ck with the little power up his pokemons went through. Karl "Next time we battle I will be the one who will win" This is all that he said, hearing this Julian smiled. Julian "Then I will meet you in the finals of the Unova League" Julian said and walked right past him, this time Julian didn''t deepen his voice like before, he didn''t mind revealing his identity to Karl, if he is a little more alert than a normal person he will figure out who the man is ck really is. When Karl heard Julian while he walked past him, he realized that he has heard this voice before, that is when it struck him, the person who is battled was none other than the Julian himself. Karl turned around and saw Julian walk out of the restaurant. Karl "So this is the man that everyone wants to defeat, no wonder I lost, he is the strongest trainer I have evere across and I need to get a lot better to stand opposite to him on the battlefield, now I have an advantage over other trainers who dream the same as me, I have already faced him, now I know what it feels like to be read through and through by that monster, I have an advantage and I cannot lose that" Karl thought and got really serious, he knew Julian saw straight through him during their first battle, if they had not met before and met in the league, Karl would have beenpletely destroyed by Julian, but now he knows and he will be ready. Chapter 615 - Leader Of Team Plasma After walking out of the restaurant Julian walked straight towards the hotel he stayedst time, he had already informed the manager of the hotel before that he would being back and he doesn''t want any inconvenience when he gets there. So the hotel manager decided to keep a room vacant for Julian and also gave him the key to the room so he cane at any time, of course, Julian paid for all the days the room was kept vacant even though the manager insisted that it doesn''t matter. ?? Julian knows these things are tricky, he cannot ept an offer from anyone who he doesn''t know as it could be very troublesome in the future, it is better to have no ties to anyone who he doesn''t know. Julian took a long rest after getting into his room. After he was done rested he decided to explore the city because he had didn''t get to see itst time, the only ce he visited was the restaurant where he had his lunch and dinner. He also nned to trainer his pokemons afterward he was done looking around so they can be ready for their first official pokemon battle, Julian decided to work on his Karrast more because he was foreign to the concept of bug type pokemon. He has been spending time with Karrast for some time and is getting to know him very well, Julian has alreadye up with a way to train Karrast but he still hasn''t applied the training method on Karrast, till now it has only been physical training as it is best for young pokemons who have very little experience on how to control their energy. As Julian is looking around the city he came across a trainer''s school, Julian has seen these schools before, these schools are very efficient in training trainers on how to be a good pokemon trainer, they teach several things here. Some top students from the school can even participate in the Unova League without challenging and winning the eight gym badges, but these top students will have to meet the criteria to enter. Trainer School is an important part of many young trainer''s life. When a kid doesn''t know what they want to do in the future, theye to trainer school and look at everything, when they find their interest they stick to it. Even Daisy was one of these kids, she didn''t know what she wanted to be until she joined the trainer school and learned about pokemon grooming. Julian decided to go look around the school and see how the schools here teach their young trainers. _____________________ Somewhere in the north-eastern part of Unova, inside a ruined area that looked abandoned for many years, there was no sign of life at all, it was like every living being moved out from here, even ground pokemons didn''t seem to live here Suddenly a massive hovership appeared above the area and started to descend down on the ground, the hovership thennded right in the middle of the ruined area, this hovership is the same one team sma used to get to Nuvema Town, as the door of the hovership opened, few people walked out of it, it was the Shadow Triad and few team sma goons. The group then walked a little further and finally stopped as if they are waiting for something, suddenly the empty space in front of them started to shake and distort and then a massive castle was right in front of their eyes. This castle is really big, it covered half of the ruined area, there were so many balconies on this castle that one would have to spend a lot of time counting them, it also looked like this castle was made from gold or the material was coated with gold, but that didn''t matter, to make such a massive castle with just gold ted materials would be very expensive. The group then moved their gaze towards a ck and red-figure near the castle, it is a Zoroark, the pokemon behind the appearance of this castle. This Zoroark uses it ability to hide the castle from anyone foreign to it, it only allows the ones it knows and are in some kind of rtionship with its master. The Shadow Triad didn''t say anything and just walked passed by the Zoroark and they came across a massive garden right outside the castle, they didn''t walk into the castle because the person they wanted to meet was right in front of them watering the nts with his own hand. There were a lot of pokemons surrounding him and ying happily, some of them were running around the garden and ying, some of them rested their body against this man''s legs and rested, and some of them were sitting on his shoulder. This man looks very young, he should be around 18 to twenty years old, same as Julian, he is a fair-skinned tall man, around 6 feet, he also has long tea-green hair tied into a fluffy ponytail, he is wearing a white mid sleeved shirt with a ck t-shirt under it, he is also wearing a long beige pant along with green shoes. This young man is none other than N, the leader of Team sma but from the looks of it, he looks just like a normal person who loves pokemon. N turns around and sees his followers kneeling on their knees waiting for him to respond. N "Get up" He asks them to get up quickly, he doesn''t like his follower being this sincere but the insist on doing so. N "What happened?" N asked as he saw one of the Triad members didn''t look fine. Triad Member "Leader we failed our mission" One of them said with the same lifeless voice just like a puppet. N "Tell me". Chapter 616 - Restaurant Or Gym? N is surprised by this, the Shadow Triad are strong pokemon trainers who can even rival champions if they start to work together, their teamwork has always been exceptional and not many out there can take them on. They just went to get snatch Professor Kukui''s teleportation project, what could possibly stop them from doing so. ?? Triad Member "When we arrived there we came across Caitlin, one of the Elite Four" One of the Triad members said. N "Caitlin huh? I have heard about her, they say she is really a strong pokemon trainer, at a champion level but she alone shouldn''t have been able to stop all three of you, you even had a lot of Team sma members with you" N said before listening to the whole story. Triad Member "Yes, we could have easily taken care of it, Professor Kukui was distracted by the goons while the two of us engaged with Caitlin, and the other went in to get the files but something happened, a man in ck interfered with the n, he had a ck Garchomp which easily defeated our pokemons, also this one who went in to grab the files was tossed out from theb unconscious with his pokemon" The Triad member said while pointing at his partner. N was surprised to hear this, a man in ck came to save the day, it was just like a fairy tail but N believed it anyway, the Shadow Triad never lied no matter what the circumstances were. N "I see, do you know who this man in ck was?" N asked. He doesn''t know much about the world outside this castle, he lived his whole life here taking care of pokemons so he doesn''t know what really is going outside. Triad Member "We don''t know leader but we will try to figure it out" He said. N "Let it be, for now, there is no use of stealing the files now, the testing should have already been done and the production will soon be in process, we cannot stop it now, you three take rest and order the other members to continue liberating pokemons" N said and walked into his castle as a few pokemons followed behind him. Since they got their order the Shadow Triad didn''t say anything and left along with the goons. Back in the castle N walked into his massive room, his room is filled with all the luxury one could ever imagine, the walls were gold ted and the decorations were made from diamonds and ruby, even ancient kings and queens didn''t live in such luxury as N did. N sat down on his bed and thought about what his followers said to him, a man in ck was very vague and N didn''t know much about the world outside as he has spent his whole life inside this massive castle. His whole life he has only had pokemon friends, he didn''t trust humans at all, he hated humans in fact, no one knows why he feels this way but N is very protective over his followers, if someone tries to hurt them he would interfere and give them enough time to escape. This made the members of Team sma be very loyal to N because they knew he woulde to their rescue no matter what happens. N "This man in ck seems very dangerous, I need to find out more about him, I should ask father about it" N said andid down, he decided to wait until his fatheres back to the castle, his father is a very influential person in the world and if there is a human that N trust, it is his father. ________________________ Julian finished looking around the trainer''s school and found out that their methods are exactly the same as the ones used in other regions. Julian soon got bored and walked towards the Striaton gym to check out the trainers and who he might be facing, he soon arrived in front of a very luxury building, this was none other than the Striaton gym. But for some reason Julian could hear a lot of people talking inside, he got curious and walked in and saw a massive room filled with chairs and tables and people were eating. It was a restaurant, Julian got confused seeing this, he thought it was a gym, why are people here eating and drinking like it is a restaurant. Julian ''I know that Striaton city has a lot of restaurants and known for their delicious food but even a gym is a restaurant, this is bizarre'' Julian thought and looked around, he saw three people in waiter dresses, one has red hair, one has blue hair and one has green hair, Julian looked carefully at them and realized that these waiters are none other than the gym leaders of this gym. He took and seat and looked at the menu kept on the table, as he looked at the prices disyed on them, he was shocked, it was way expensive for a normal restaurant, if it was a Michelin star restaurant then Julian might find it reasonable but this was just absurd, as he looked through the menu he decided to eat his dinner here as it was about to be night, suddenly one of the waiters walked towards him, he is the one with green hair, also one of the gym leaders. Cn "Wee sir, may I have your order" He asked politely. Julian "Isn''t this a little too much money for the dishes you serve here?" Julian asked curiously. Cn "Ah, that is because we actually let out diners watch pokemon battles if a challengeres to challenge one of us, it acts as entertainment for them, and if the challenger actually defeats us he will able to dine here for free for a whole day" Cn said. Julian "Oh, that''s interesting" Julian said and ordered some food and looked at his right, he saw the battlefield right behind the thick bulletproof ss, people could actually watch pokemon battles here while eating, Julian also learned that normal people can also challenge one of the workers in the field to earn a free meal but most of them fail. Since this is a gym that doesn''t battle any high-level pokemons it is ok to be behind bulletproof ss, if this was somewhere else, this ss would have shattered into fragments. Chapter 617 - First Gym Battle In Unova Julian decided to challenge the gym day after tomorrow, after giving some normal training to his pokemons he should be ready. The next day he got up ready and started to train his Karrast a little more before it is ready to battle, his Darumaka has some experience but this will be Karrast''s first battle and even if he loses it will be an experience. ?? The training went a lot easier than Julian expected, Karrast caught up to all the basic training quickly and did a few mock battles with Darumaka which he lost but he got better after every battle. And so another day ended with Karrast ready to battle and Julian is ready to challenge the gym. Julian made his way towards the gym once again, this time he is not going there to eat but to battle but winning the battle also means that he can get free food there so he is nning to eat for free. When he got there he saw the same old scene as yesterday but the customer was a little low because it is still morning and the dish being served are all breakfast items. As he walked in he got noticed by the gym leaders who were waiting around the room taking orders, Cn, the one with green hair walked towards Julian and greeted him. Cn "Wee back sir, what do you need today?" Cn asked. He has seen this man yesterday, he also knew that this is Julian because he had seen his face while eating, it was a surprise that other customer didn''t notice him, the real reason was that Julian took a seat at the corner of the hotel where many people didn''t actually look. Julian "I am here to challenge the gym for a battle" Julian said. Cn "I was expecting you to challenge us, so who do you want to challenge?" Cn asked. Julian "Hmm? What do you mean?" Julian got confused. Cn "Well, a trainer can challenge one of the gym leaders based on their preference, I am a grass type user, while my bothers are fire type and water type respectively, so a trainer can choose which type trainer they want to take on as their first gym" Cn gave the exnation to Julian, hearing this Julian realized that he was a little mistaken about how this gym actually functions but it didn''t matter now. Julian thought he would face all three types of pokemon but now he has to choose only one and this is good. Julian "So, it''s just a one on one pokemon battle?" He asked. Cn "Yes" He answered. Julian "Then, I will challenge you" Julian said. Cn "It''s an honor to battle you, you can head towards the battlefield and wait for me, I will be there" Cn informed Julian to wait at the battlefield while he gets ready, Julian chose Cn because he is a grass type user and his Karrast has an advantage over grass type pokemon. Since this will be his very first official battle, Julian thought he could use an easy challenge. Julian entered the battlefield and looked around and to his surprise, the battlefield was bigger than he expected, for a starter-level gym this was quite big, many new trainers came and challenged this gym as their first one because it is the easiest to clear and the pokemon they used are low-level pokemons who are in their first form. Julian didn''t have to wait for long before his opponent entered the battlefield wearing his usual ck and white waiter outfit but he seemed to be ready for the battle he will be having right now, Julian looked outside the battlefield and noticed that many people were looking at them with excited gaze. Since this was an official pokemon battle they couldn''t miss it, it''s not every day that a challengeres and challenges one of the gym leaders for a pokemon battle. Julian and Cn both took their ce on the battlefield, Julian could tell that this Cn is very eager for this battle, he had a passion for pokemon, this made Julian smile, it''s always better to battle someone who loved pokemon battles. Soon after another gym leader entered the battlefield as a referee, he is the one with red hair, the fire type user. Referee "This will be a one on one pokemon battle between gym leader Cn and the challenger, the pokemon which is standing at the end of this battle will be the winner" The red-haired gym leader whose name is Chili exined the rules, it was the same as every other gym rules, but it was mandatory for all gyms to exin the rules before the start of the battle. Referee "You both may choose your pokemons" With the call both Cn and Julian sent out their pokemons for battle, Cn sent out his grass monkey Pansage while sent out Karrast, both pokemons took their stage and stared at each other, while Pansage was used to this, it is Karrast''s first time and he seems a little nervous. He has lost every battle against Darumaka so he is feeling a little down, Julian knows this so he decided to give Karrast an easy opponent. Julian "Don''t worry just listen to mean everything will be fine" Karrast heard Julian''s voice and calmed down, during all this time they spent together Karrast got attached to Julian, since they are still young pokemons it is easy for them to get connected to others easily, same cannot be said for pokemons that are old and experienced, that is why trainers have a hard timemunicating with pokemons that they caught recently who are already old and mature. Referee "Let the battle begin" Chili made the call and started the battle. Chapter 618 - Pansage Vs Karrablast With the call from Chili the referee of this current battle, the battle started, Cn decided to go first on the offense with a Scratch, the Pansage charged at Karrast with its ws exposed, even though this little green monkey with a broli-like shape on its head looked tiny and goofy, those ws were no joke, the simmered under the bright lights that are ced on top of the battlefield. Julian noticed that this Pansage is a little faster than his Karrast but he really wasn''t bothered by it, Karrast''s tiny legs are a little too small for them to achieve speed. ?? Julian knows that his Karrast will never be able to move fast, and when he evolves his speed will decrease even further. Julian "Counter with Fury Cutter" Karrast''s little hands started to glow in a dirty green color as they turned into sharp extended des, both pokemons then called with each other with their weapons. There is a tiny explosion and both party back off, the Pansage is sent a little further back as Karrast clearly has more power behind his attack, seeing this Cn realized that power is not the option and he has to keep his Pansage a little further from Karrast so it doesn''t get hit by those Fury Cutters are they could be the end of the battle, Furry Cutters get stronger every time it used unless another move is used by the user, Furry Cutter always doubles in damage power after every sessful use. Cn "Pansage back up and used Vine Whip" Pansage quickly made some distance between it and Karrast and shot two long Vines at Karrast to smack him. Julian "Counter with Fury Cutter again" Karrast charged up another Fury Cutter and this time its power is double than before, now each one of his hands carried the same amount of powerpared to the Fury Cutter he used with two hands before. One hand for one Vine Whit and Karrast sessfully countered the Vine Whip, both pokemon once again came in a standstill, this battle is getting a little tense now. Cn ''This is not going to cut it, I need to get up close to deal some damage, my Pansage is clearly faster than his Karrast'' Cn thought and decided to make his move. Cn "Pansage, use Fury Swipes" Hearing Cn his Pansage charged at Karrast with its ws exposed, this time they didn''t carry the same power as a Scratch but Fury Swipes is fast and abination move, every hit is weak but with multiple of themnding on the opponent it could be very effective. Pansage got close to Karrast and started to swipe left and right with itsnds tond multiple hits on Karrast. Julian didn''t do anything and waited for his chance as he watched Karrast dodge a few of those Fury Swipes, some of themnded and dealt some damage to him but it was not over. Pansage kept on with the attack and just as it got toofortable being right in front of Karrast Julian made his move. Julian "Now use Counter" Karrast suddenly attacked, Pansage was so close that it didn''t even see the attacking, with all the damage it dealt on Karrast, this Counter carried double the damage power, Karrast''s Counternded straight on Pansage''s stomach and sent it flying backward and crashing into the ground. Karrast also backed off a little and took a deep breath, his body is covered with scratches as those Fury Swipes did a number on him but that Counter was worth it, Pansage struggled to get up, that Counter hit very hard. Julian would not be surprised if the Pansage fainted after that hit because it was powerful and Karrast being a Physical attacker that move will be very effective. Cn got worried as he saw his Pansage struggling to get back to its feet, but he sighed in relief as it finally got back on its feet while holding onto its stomach and ring at Karrast, by now Karrast has gained a lot of confidence, seeing that his opponent is not as strong as he expected it to be, he is relieved. Cn "As expected but my Pansage has not given up so I won''t either! Pansage, let''s do this" Cn cheered on his Pansage and continued the battle, Julian didn''t say anything and just waited for his opponent''s move, he could have finished this battle while the Pansage was down but when he saw the Pansage trying very hard to get back to its feet he decided to stop. Cn "Let''s go, Vine Whip on the ground and use Scratch once again" This time Cn tactic changed, his Pansage suddenly used Vine Whip and aimed it at the ground, the Vine Whip pierced into the ground very easily and then Pansage used it to propel itself towards Karrast at high speed using Scratch. Julian "Use Bug Bite" As Pansage charged towards Karrast, Karrast just opened his wide mouth and exposed his sharp fangs which started to glow dirty green and the fangs expanded, as Pansage swiped with its w Karrast bit down straight on its hand which caused a mini-boom sound, this caused smoke to cover everyone''s vision, once the smoke cleared up they could see that Pansage''s arm was hurt after that exchange and it couldn''t be used right now during this battle. Cn "Bullet Seed" Cn didn''t stop, he still had a chance as Karrast is so close but Julian is not going to sit idle as well. Julian "Fury Cutter" Karrast and Pansage made their move at the same time, Karrast''s Fury Cutter cut through some Bullet Seeds andnded directly on Pansage while Pansage''s Bullet Seeds alsonded on Karrast but the winner was Karrast. He is resistant to Grass-type moves while Pansage was weak against Bug-type, Pansage fell on the ground and fainted while Karrast stood still and took a deep breath. He won his very first battle. Chapter 619 - Next Destination Karrast won his very first pokemon battle and this boosted his confidence. After losing every battle against Darumaka Karrast didn''t think too highly of himself but after battling this Pansage he realized that his friend is just ridiculously powerful and he cannot match him in strength right now. What Karrast doesn''t know is that he was under trained for this battle, the Pansage was a much higher level pokemon than him, he won this because Julian knew what to do and when to do for him to win this battle. ?? Julian watched as Karrast jumped around happily after winning, he didn''t want to snatch away the little one''s happiness. Julian looked at Cn and saw him calling his Pansage back to its Pokeball, in Julian''s eyes Cn is not a great gym leader, if he had to make a list and rank the gym leaders, he will put Cn in thest ce. This battle was very straight forward and predictable, but Julian is in no position toment on Cn and his ways, it was the league who chose him and his brothers as gym leaders for this city. Since this is clearly a starting gym not many people cared about it, most trainers could get through the first four gyms in any region because they will be the easiest. It bes harder after the fourth gym when gym leaders bring out their all to pressure the challenger. Julian doesn''t know how the other brothers arepared to Cn in their role as a gm leader, maybe they are stronger than him and are able to handle their challenges but it didn''t matter to him at the end of the day, Julian won and it helped his Karrast a lot. Cn walked towards Julian with a gym badge in his hand, this badge is very different from all the badges Julian has seen till now, this is long and slender not like those round badges Julian is used to, this badge is shaped like three diamond shapes have beenbined and red, blue, and green color in the middle. Cn handed over the Trio badge to Julian. Cn "It was an honor to battle you, Sir Julian..." He said and paused for a few seconds before looking at Julian once again. Cn "Actually I have a question for you" Cn said. Julian "What is it?" Julian asked curiously. Cn "What did you think of our battle, am I any good?" Cn asked. Julian "Honestly, you were not that great, you are better than a normal trainer but not better than veterans or geniuses who are usually the gym leaders, you need a lot more to be a good gym leader" He said without holding back, lying won''t help Cn, it will just boost his ego a little, being praised by Julian can have a negative effect on someone so Julian never praised anyone too much. Cn pondered on Julian''s words for a little and then smiled at him. Cn "Thankyou, since you won against me, you can have anything from our restaurant from free for one whole day" Cn said. Julian "Then I will take some things back with me" He said and walked out of the battlefield. When he walked out he heard a round of apuse towards him, he saw everyone in the restaurant pping at him for winning the battle, thankfully Julian''s face is still covered with his mask or things would have gonepletely different and Julian wouldn''t have any time to pick up the delicious food from the restaurant. After getting all his food for today''s lunch Julian left, he still had a lot to do is Striaton city, he was still not done looking around, it was a very big city filled will lot of restaurants, every corner had one restaurant and every restaurant had their signature dishes. He would even hear some people arguing about their favorite ce to dine on the street, he saw many food critics walking around the street visiting one restaurant to another tasting their dishes. Julian is not food critic but traveling to so many ces and eating so many types of food made his a food lover which he never was, he still had some old habits from his previous life, like drinking a lot of coffee and he still does and now he is into food as well. Travelling was really fun for Julian, he doese across trouble but it really didn''t matter to him, he just lived his life. Now that he is done with Striaton city he needs to find a new destination to travel and find some pokemons, he takes out his phone and sees the best way to reach Nacrene City as that is where he is heading next, to challenge the Nacrene gym and catch a pokemon on his way, he looked further into his phone to see if there is any ce he could find a ce to catch a good pokemon and he found a ce. Wellspring cave, many people are saying that many strong pokemons live there but not many people go inside because it is a dangerous ce, the pokemon there are very rough with visitors and will attack on-sight. Julian knew this ce should be searched, its ces like this where he can find a good pokemon, these types of harsh chaotic environment always have tough strong pokemons that have a lot of potentials to grow. Julian heads back to his hotel after looking around, tomorrow he will leave Striaton city and head towards Nacrene city and on the way, he will go through Wellspring cave. Chapter 620 - Arriving At Wellspring Cave As Julian has nned he left Striaton city after finishing his usual routine such a feeding his pokemons and doing some physical training to keep them in shape. Fat pokemons are a thing, people who are not interested in training pokemons keep them as pets and feed them too much without giving them enough exercise so they be fat and growzy, some of them be so fat that they need the help of another person or pokemon to move them. ?? When Julian saw these people and how they are treating their pets he thought about those thick corgi dogs who ate too much and looked even thicker than they look. So Julian never let his pokemons just sit around idly doing nothing, since they all ate a lot they needed to train a lot, or all them will be thick and Julian will have to abandon them. Not all of them are like Snox, just eat and grow fat while also bing strong. Julian made his way out of Striaton City and rode through the route, his destination is Wellspring cave which can only be reached by going through the thick jungle. After two days of riding and resting, Julian finally came across the path that will lead him to Wellspring cave, this path leads him straight towards the thick dense jungle, as he looked in he could only see darkness as the sun ling was blocked by big trees. Julian knew once he enters this area he will be attacked by a lot of pokemon, he could, of course, ask his Gengar to scare them off but that may also cause potential pokemons that could be in his team to run off scared by Gengar''s aura. Julian sighed and rode his bike down the rough jungle path, it was very dark but he could see make out the road in the darkness, he still needs light to see and the little amount of light that makes through those thick leaves is very little. Since he has a very good vision he can handle the darkness but he still has limitations while pokemons are more suited to this environment, they will notice him before he can even sense them. Julian continues slowly deeper into the jungle while making a very little sound, as Julian expected he encountered some pokemons that jumped out of nowhere to attack him but he quickly got rid of them by using his Garchomp, he didn''t catch most of them because they were already old and it''s hard to yeah old pokemon new tricks and Julian always trained his pokemon from their starting point or a pokemon that isn''t too old to learn what Julian will teach it. Julian came across a lot of pokemon he has never seen before, he took some time to observe them and see what he can learn from them, how they defend their territory and how they learn to use their moves in the wild without the help of a trainer. Julian went further into the jungle and he noticed that the number of pokemons he encountered started to decrease while the ones he did encounter were a lot stronger than the ones before, he realized that his destination is getting closer. He has heard that Wellspring cave has a lot of dangerous pokemons and they are a lot strongerpared to the ones found in this jungle or any other area around it. After going through many stubborn pokemons that refused to budge from his path Julian finally reached Wellspring cave, he has no idea what type of pokemon he will encounter here, he came all this way to find a good member for his team and if he finds nothing here he would be really disappointed for wasting so much time. There are more pokemons out there after he passes through Nacrene city, he could have easily trained his Darumaka and Karrast enough to defeat the gym leader in Nacrene city then continue his journey but he still decided to give this cave a shot. After seeing so many rumors about powerful pokemon dwelling inside the cave, he couldn''t miss this chance. Julian looked around the area, it was very rocky, there arerge boulders everywhere, these boulders seem to have tumbled down from the cliff on the side, Julian noticed a lot of presence near the entrance of the cave, they were alling from underground. Julian "This must be a Diglettir, I have to be careful and not spook them or they will go crazy" Digletts can be really dangerous if they live in a group, they can easily create a huge pit within seconds to make a person fall deep into the ground with no chance of climbing back to the surface, so explorers always have devices that can tell if there is any Diglettir around. Julian tiptoes and enters into the mouth of the cave, he could see a thin water stream running out from the cave indicating him that there is a water source inside this cave. He bent down and looked at the water and found that it was very clear, but what was most important was that this was drinkable to humans as well, sometimes clear water is not always pure, many people think that clear water is drinkable but it contains a lot of bacteria that can harm humans. Since pokemons have a much stronger digestive tract and immunity to these bacteria they can drink these waters. It was very rare to find a drinkable water source in the wild, this helped Julian a lot, a clear drinkable water source means a healthy ecosystem was present in the area, which meant there are pokemons, and seeing how rich the environment was, only the toughest of pokemons will have the strength to keep it to themselves and their families. Chapter 621 - Third Pokemon In Unova Julian walked deeper into the cave and followed the stream of water, if he can find the source of this water, he could possibly find the location of some strong pokemons as they ten to live near these water source. On his way, Julian came across a Roggenr, it then suddenly attacked using Tackle, Julian just moved to the side and dodged it, he then watched the Roggenr crash into the wall but to his surprise, the Roggenr actually managed to crack the wall, seeing this he got excited because this Roggenr clearly has potential but he didn''t catch it. ?? He has just entered the cave and he already found a good pokemon, he wondered if there are pokemons with even greater potential. He left a mark behind on this Roggenr. If he cannot find an even better pokemon he wille back for it, Julian turned his back to the Roggenr and continued forward while it tried to struggle back on its feet. Julian encountered more pokemons on his way and he was pretty surprised by the oue, the pokemons living here were all great but they were also protected by the big shots in this cave, on his way he came across a massive Gigalith that tried to chase him away but Julian used Victini to take care of it, the deeper he goes into the cave the darker it gets, so he decided to bring Victini outside and light up his path while it sat on his shoulder and chatted with Crystal who was getting a little bored. Every pokemon he came across were great and Julian couldn''t make a decision at all, the Roggenr that he encountered at the beginning was clearly the best out of all the once he has seen till now but the gap wasn''t that huge as well, he could easily refine their methods and make them as effective as that Roggenr. While Julian is having a hard time deciding on which little ones to chose, the big ones were the real problem, as soon as they saw Julian they would charge at Julian. If it was not for Victini chasing them away it would take Julian even longer to reach the end of the cave where he hopes to find the water source. The bigger ones were really strong, but their potential was wasted, they couldn''t find a trainer to refine their moves and they grew old here in the wild and battled for territories, some of the older ones were even better than Julian had expected, if he had met them when they were much younger, they could have joined his team and be monsters like Garchomp. It was not easy to get to the end because on the way he came across a very tough opponent, and Excadrill and a very powerful one, Julian is surprised by seeing such a powerful pokemon in this cave, it is as strong as an Elite level pokemon, just a few years and it might be a champion level pokemon. Seeing this Julian also realized that his goal is near, finding such a strong pokemon means that the water source should be close by. But battling this Excadrill was a lot harder than he expected, it knew this cave better than he did, it has spent its whole life here so it knows every nook and crony in this cave, it also has a pre-built cave system of its own underground that it uses to escape from Victini''s attack. Julian could ask Victini to just st a powerful fire st into a hole which will certainly force out the Excadrill but he didn''t because there are more than one pokemon underneath, he could sense their life force, there seem to be tiny baby pokemons underground, they may be this Excadrill''s family. If he decides to st fire into one of the holes, it could severely hurt those little ones and they could even die, Victini is just way too powerful and Julian doesn''t want to kill innocent pokemons even by mistake or it will haunt him for days. Julian "Victini, be on alert and as soon as it resurfaces, hit it with a Psyshock" Victini nodded and maintained a distance from the surface and waited for its chance, Julian could feel the ground underneath is feet vibrating as Excadrill was moving inside the ground while spinning, it was just one powerful pokemon. Julian "Here it is" Julian warned Victini as he saw a big Excadrill tore through the ground and charged at Victini spinning very rapidly using Drill Run, a very powerful ground type move that Excadrills can use. Victini suddenly used Teleport and vanished from its spot which made Excadrill continue forward towards the ceiling, Victini suddenly appeared right behind it and st a shock wave of psychic energy sending the Excadrill crashing into the ceiling and then it fell down crashing on the ground. Victini''s attack was not something an Elite level pokemon can handle. Excadrill couldn''t move a finger after getting hit by that Psyshock, its energy waspletely depleted, suddenly Julian felt another light tremor underneath his feet, this was much smaller than before. Soon a little pokemon peeked out from the ground, it is a Drilbur, after a second two more Drilbur popped their head out and looked at Excadrill and cried out. Julian looked at these three and his eyes suddenly gleamed, thest Drilbur that just popped out was the pokemon he was looking for, he could feel the Ground inside this Drilbur, the way it moved inside its body was the same as his Darumaka, this Drilbur knew how to use its energy. He found his third pokemon. Chapter 622 - A Dangerous Move Julian just stood there and watched as the three Drilburs approach the Excadrill which has been knocked out, Julian didn''t approach them because they might get spooked and run away. After a while Julian decided to approach as the three Drilbur got used to his presence, seeing that Julian is not making any move made them feel secure and they approached the Excadrill to check on it. ?? One of them noticed Julian approaching and suddenly let out a warning to the other two, all three of them soon got in position, ready to escape if anything happens, Julian stopped and crouched down to make then feel secure. Big beings are always threatening to little pokemons, it''s their natural instinct to back off when facing against something big, by crouching down and appearing small in front of the Drilburs he made them feel less threatened. Julian put a smile on his face and slowly made his way towards the fainted Excadrill. Since these Drilburs are young and innocent they don''t know what Julian is up to, they are wary of him because he is a human and something they for the first time, this human also knocked out their dad so they had no reason to trust Julian but the aura that was around Julian was really pleasing that attracted them. Julian finally arrived right in front of the Excadrill and took out a healing berry juice and fed it to the fainted Excadrill, the best way to earn these Drilburs trust is to heal their dad so they won''t see him as the enemy. The fainted Excadrill gained back its consciousness and stared at Julian, it realized that Julian could have just walked away but didn''t and he even helped it heal up. Julian knew that the best way to gain the Drilbur''s trust is to heal its father, seeing their father back to full health the three Drilbur rushed towards it and checked if it was okay. Julian didn''t want to rush into things, it will be hard for him to take the Drilbur away, he cannot just catch it and run away, it would definitely anger the Excadrill and who knows what it might do to a human if they were unfortunate to encounter it in the future. Julian decided to continue forward into the cave and find the water source, pokemons are always curious species, they are as intelligent as a 3 to a 5-year-old human baby, they get curious about anything that intrigues them, seeing Julian''s behavior was something new to them and they also noticed that Julian is heading deeper into the cave. He knew some of them would follow him. Julian turned his back and started to walk again, he didn''t look back but he has a smile on his face, he could feel the Excadrill and Drilburs following him from underground. After walking for a while Julian finally reached the water source, what was in front of him surprised him a lot, the water seems to being from underground but it was very clear, it sparkled as it reflected the lighting from the top. Julian noticed something weird, there was no opening above theke so where did the lighte from, that is when he noticed crystals, they were actually acting as a medium to transfer light from outside to inside. Julian looked at these crystals, they were glowing teal in color, Julian got curious, he has never seen crystals like this before, he could tell that they are as strong as diamonds but they also glowed teal, in his head he couldn''te up with any possible exnation. He could see the path of light being reflected from one crystal to another, like this multiple rays of light fell on the water making it sparkle in teal color as well. Due to the water being so clear and calm, Julian could see the light rays reflect from the surface of the water and hit the walls of the cave illuminating itpletely. This was a very beautiful area, even Victini and Crystal who were busy fooling around with each other stopped their shenanigans and took their time to admire the beautiful scenery in front of them. Julian then took his time to look around and noticed that he is being watched by many pairs of eyes from all over the area, just as he expected this ce is filled with pokemons that are strong and maybe he can find another potential pokemon other than the Drilbur from before. He took a deep breath and took a step forward but suddenly a powerful light beam shot right towards him, Julian jumped back and looked at the ground where the beam of light hit, the beam of light actually melted the ground itself. Julian took in a deep breath, there was clearly a pokemon that is a champion level present here but what bothered Julian the most was this attack just now, he couldn''t identify what it was at all, one thing he knew clearly was that this attack was just a beam of light magnified. It was as if someone used a massive magnifying ss and pointed all the sunlight around the area into a single point. This was clearly a very dangerous move and he has no knowledge about it. Chapter 623 - Victini Vs Gigalith Julian squinted his eyes and looked at the direction from where the attack came from and he found the culprit, a very big Gigalith but this one is different from the one Julian has seen before when he was making through the cave. This one is much bigger while its body is dark purple in color with sharp a massive teal-colored crystal all over its body, it is a Shiny Gigalith. ?? Julian finally realized what that beam of light was, it is said that Gigaliths can actually absorb sunlight from the crystals on their body and then concentrate all of it into one powerful beam of light but this move had limitations, it cannot use it during the night or during a rainy day when there is no sunlight to take advantage off. Julian also realized that this ce is more dangerous than people said it to be, with all those crystals hanging around the wall and the ceiling which channeled all that sunlighting from outside, its attacks would be very powerful and destructive. Only people who have death wish would want toe here and battle this Gigalith, Julian carefully watched the Gigalith and noticed some other pokemons behind it as well, they were Roggenrs and Boldores, that is when Julian noticed one more thing that he missed before. These Roggenrs that are behind the Gigalith arepletely different from the one he encountered at the entrance of the cave, their eyes were yellow in color while the one he saw at the entrance of the cave had an orange eye. He realized that he made a huge mistake, the one he saw at the entrance was actually a shiny Roggenr, as a regr Gigalith has orange crystal he thought that it was a normal Roggenr. Julian ''I am an idiot'' Julian thought whilepletely ignoring the fierce gaze of the Gigalith. He was more concerned about the Roggenr that he encountered at the entrance of the cave than the fierce Gigalith in front of him. While Julian is busy worrying about the Roggenr, the Gigalith seems to have been offended by Julian as it noticed Julian ignoring it, it once againunched a light beam at Julian but this time Victini took action and used Protect but something unexpected happened. The Light Beam actually went right past the Protect without even losing any energy and hit Victini, this caused Julian to snap out of his thought and looked at Victini who took the Light Beam as if it was nothing. Victini''s mes can are way hotter than the temperature of this Light Beam but this move would have easily caused a lot of damage to other pokemons who aren''t used to high temperature. Julian realized that this Light Beam is much more dangerous than he imagined, now he wanted to catch that Roggenr and teach it how to use this Light Beam. He has read that not all Gigaliths can use this Light Beam, concentrating all that light wave into a single concentrated beam was a lot harder. Julian "Victini let''s finish this, we need to head back" Julian had left a mark on that Roggenr so it won''t be able to get away from him, he will catch it no matter what. Hearing Julian, Victini got excited and got ready to add another victory on its list, Victini suddenly used Teleport and appeared right behind Gigalith taking it by surprise. Being so big limited its movement, Victini used this chance and used Psyshock to send the Gigalith crashing into the ground. At the end of the day Victini was beyond a Champion Level pokemon, no matter what advantage this Gigalith has it cannot defeat Victini, Victini decided to go for the finish with Brick Break. But this Gigalith decided to go down by itself and take out its opponent at the same time and suddenly used Explosion. A burst of energy leaked out of Gigalith creating a massive explosion but Victini was a little fasted and used Protect, the Explosion could destroy everything but Julian made a move as well and protected the whole area with his own shield made from Omniforce preventing everything toe down crashing and crushing all the pokemons living on the surface. The Protect that Victini used got covered with cracks and finally shattered, Victini was sent flying backward but it didn''t receive any damage while the Gigalith fainted. Victini seemed a little disappointed as it was not the one who dealt the finishing blow, Gigalith just pulled the trigger and sacrificed itself by using Explosion. Every Pokemon in the cave is shocked by the result, the Shiny Gigalith had been the king of this cave for years and had remained undefeated but now it has been defeated by a pokemon that is from outside and works with a human. The pokemons are cautious of the duo of Julian and Victini, they don''t know what will happen now so they are on the edge. Julian also didn''t expect the Gigalith to use Explosion. If he had not used the barrier to protect this cave he and all the pokemons inside this cave would have been buried under massive boulders and dust. While every pokemon in the area is still processing what has happened here, Julian and Victini now have some fans among the pokemons present here. Chapter 624 - Talking To The Excadrill Family The Excadrill and its kids who were watching all this from the side were very excited seeing the result, this Gigalith had monopolized the whole spring for itself and if other pokemons wanted to use it, they would have to share their food and resource with this Gigalith and its family. Excadrill was the only one that didn''t do it, it was against this Gigalith''s monopoly so it made a home for itself and its kids near the water source and then made a little passage for water to pass through itsyer from underground. ?? Luckily the Gigalith could do nothing about it and left the Excadrill to have its way and it wouldn''t risk a battle with the Excadrill who has an advantage over it and also have a lot of underground passage which it could use to fight back against the Gigalith. For years these two have been on each other''s throats, nighter of them had an advantage over the other, while the Gigalith was much stronger, Excadrill had a clear advantage with its due 1/4 times resistance to rock type attacks. Now its enemy has been taken down by this unknown stranger and his pokemon, even its children were happy to see the big bully get defeated, its family had always harassed them whenever they were out to y on the surface. They were withered chased away or beaten up by other pokemons that habituated the area around the water source. They were really happy to see Julian and Victini take care of these bunch of bullies. While all the pokemon in the area is shocked and worried about Julian''s and Victini''s presence, Julian is worried about the Roggenr that he just missed behind, he felt like an idiot, this doesn''t happen too much with him, he always does his research whenever he was about to visit a new region but he somehow got confused on how a Roggenr was different from its shiny. Julian looked around and found no potential pokemons around the water source, the Roggenrs that are here are definitely better than the ones he encountered before but they were not as good as the Shiny Roggenr and now he regrets not catching it early, he could have saved a lot of time. He turned around to leave when he noticed the Excadrill and its children looking at him. He hadpletely ignored them because he was too focused on the Shiny Roggenr that he missed at the entrance of the cave, he felt like an idiot, this doesn''t happen to him usually, he does his research on pokemons beforeing to any new region but this species fooled him. Due to the eye color of the Shiny Roggenr is the samepared to the crystals on a normal Gigalith he got confused, now he regrets his decision of not charging it when he saw the Roggenr. It would have saved him so much time and effort. Julian shook his head and put that matter to the side, now he is focused on the Excadrill''s family, he wants to catch the Drilbur that is in the middle of the group. He can tell that this one has great potential from before and he won''t do the same mistake twice, he will deal with the matter that is right in front of him then try to catch the Roggenr that he missed before. He approached the Excadrill''s family and crouched down, took out a berry, and gave it to all three Drilburs, the Drilburs didn''t even think for a second before grabbing onto the berries and munch on them. Julian smiled and looked at the Drilbur that is standing in the middle. When it made eye contact with him Julian asked. Julian "Do you want toe with me, you can have all kinds of delicious food and maybe be as strong as Victini here" Julian said and pointed at Victini who is sitting on his shoulder. But Drilbur doesn''t seem to understand what Julian is saying, staying in this cave all its life, without being exposed to the world outside and having zero interaction with a human even once, it might not even know if something like humans exists to this day. It wasmon for newborn pokemons to not understand what their human partner are saying but sometimes they might feel what their trainers are saying. Seeing Drilbur is having a hard timemunicating with Julian Victini stepped in started to talk to Excadrill''s family. When they heard Victini the Excadrill got excited while the Drilburs are still wondering what is going on, they don''t understand anything about the outside world, what it is like outside, they don''t understand the concept of trainers, pokemon battles and how fortunate it is to find a trainer who is good at what they do. Excadrill can tell that Julian is one of the best, after seeing his Victini battle, it had no question that Julian will be the best trainer for its child, it was even a little envious, it got to this level on its own. If it had a good trainer it could have be even stronger. The Excadrill then told the Drilbur in the middle to follow Julian and told it that there would be delicious food, it also understood that only one of his children could leave with Julian but it didn''t like it. Excadrill then turned at Victini and told Victini something, Victini then tranted what Excadrill told to Julian. Julian didn''t need Victini to understand what the Excadrill said but he has been put in a dilemma right now, the Excadrill wants Julian to take all three of its kids with him. Julian doesn''t want to train three Drilburs, the only option is that he could give them to other good trainers who can take care of them. Julian then told Excadrill about his n to which it agreed, Excadrill knows that Julian will not train three pokemons of the same species, it has seen trainer before, it knows that they catch different species and train them. It could only hope that the other two of his children also find a good trainer for themselves. Chapter 625 - Meeting Team Rocket Since both Julian and Excadrill havee to an agreement, it is up to Excadrill to tell what its kids to go with Julian which was actually not hard for it, things went way better than it though. All three of them agreed to go with Julian when they heard they will get delicious food and be strong like Victini in the future, they decided to leave their dad for someone they just met. ?? Excadrill felt betrayed and hurt for some reason, it also exined to them that only one of them will stay with Julian while the other two will be given to someone else. After everything was sorted out, Julian took out three pokeballs and captured all three Drilburs in them and left to find the Roggenr. He was d that he put a marker on that Roggenr before he came here, if not he would havepletely missed it, he followed the trial of the Omniforce and soon found his target. The Shiny Roggenr, the Roggenr also noticed Julian and realized it was in trouble. When it encountered Julian first, it thought it could bully Julian and chase him away just like it father. But to its surprise it was the one who got tossed to the side and defeated, now it could sense Julian is back to take revenge. Roggenr suddenly ran away trying to escape from Julian, Julian was not going to lose this one again, he chased after the Roggenr outside the cave and they ended up near another cave that was next to it, to Julian''s surprise he saw three simr faces here. Two of them were a man and a woman and one pokemon, it was non-other than team rocket but they seemed different, instead of their usual white uniform they were wearing ck. They looked at little mature as well, the Roggenr also stopped right in front of the Team Rocket, Roggenr panicked, it didn''t know where to go, it looked at the trio then back at Julian and it felt like Julian was the best option and it suddenly changed its mind from running away from Julian to joining him. Roggenr quickly got behind Julian and watched the Trio from behind, it didn''t like the feeling that the Trio gave to it. Julian "What are you idiots doing here?" Julian asked and looked behind them to see a suitcase that actually had a hidden monitor and keyboard inside it along with a web camera and an antenna sticking out, he could tell that they were talking to someone or about to talk to someone. Seeing Julian the three panicked as well, they didn''t forget about their past experience with Julian, they were horrified for days due to Gengar so they vowed never to mess with Julian and now the devil himself have appeared in front of them. Jessie "Its nothing sir, we were just hanging out here, nothing else" Jessie said while panicking, she still remembers her experience with Julian''s Gyarados how he sted her with a Hyper Beam, well Julian did owe one to Jessie because it was her who angered his Magikarp and made him evolve into a massive Gyarados. James "Yes we were just hanging around the area, trying to find our selves some pokemons" James said panicking as well, the same thing was uttered by the talking Meowth but with more boration. Julian just stared at them, if Team Rocket was here he knew they are up to something, he approached them and stared them down trying to scare them. Julian "What is Giovanni up to now?'' He asked coldly. Giovanni was the only person who doesn''t seem to give up at all, no matter how many times Julian threaten him he goes back to doing the thing that Julian is against. "We don''t know" All three of them said at once scared, they didn''t know what to do know, they could only curse their bad luck for bumping into Julian while they were on a mission. Julian could tell that they knew nothing and even if they did, it would be ipletely, these three are field agents so they will be in charge of fetching information, they have no idea what the main n is. Julian "Get lost from here" As they heard his words they ran away picking up their suitcase and disappearing into the forest, but Julian is still wondering what Team Rocket is up to, from what he knows, they are focused on catching and stealing pokemons for their own use, they believe that pokemons existence is to serve Team Rocket so they can rule over the world, they arepletely different from the psychos that Julian has encountered before like Cyrus or the leaders of Team Aqua and Magma, while one was a Psychopath the other two were mere idiots but still dangerous idiots. Giovanni, on the other hand, is a wicked man who is after power and nothing else, he can be troublesome but Julian has nothing to worry about him because he is not a threat to the world, even if hees in control of a powerful pokemon he won''t go around destroying the world. While Julian was thinking about what Giovanni could be up to, the Roggenr that hid behind him looked at him with its single eye, nobody could tell what it is thinking because one could only see a ck hole in the middle and nothing else, the Roggenr seems to be impressed by how Julian got rid of those three people. It could tell that Julian is a strong person and Roggenr seems to be attracted to these types of people. Chapter 626 - In Fighting The Roggenr was very impressed by how Julian caused those three away just by staring at them, it also wanted to do the same one day, its father was also very strong but as pokemons, they don''t have or share to many feelings with each other, there are only a few pokemons that are deeply connected to their parents, like Kangaskhan and its baby or a Cubone and its mother. Pokemons have a born instinct to look after themselves, some of them leave their parents nest without even being noticed by their parents, some of them stick around but still leave. ?? Roggenr here is a different story, being a shiny means having better ability and powerpared to its siblings, it also means that it is a threat to the current head of the pack. When it grows up and bes a strong Gigalith itself, it can challenge the current Gigalith for its crown. The Gigalith that Victini beat up was indeed this Roggenr''s parent and they never shared a special bond, their instinct never allowed them to bond together, and this Roggenr is also a rebel, it would wander around the cave without any care. Get in fights with other small pokemons in the cave, try to bully them, it always felt great feeling superior to others, now as it watched Julian scare away the three humans it also wanted to do the same. Julian turned back and looked at the Roggenr but he was suddenly surprised because the Roggenr actually came to him and tried to snuggle on his leg, Julian is confused. First, it tried to run away now it is trying to act cute. Julian didn''t think much and just tossed a Pokeball on top of the Roggenr without giving a warning, the Pokeball struck the Roggenr and engulfed it''s within seconds, the Pokeball thennded on the ground and shook three times and the catch was confirmed. It all happened within a few seconds, no one expected Julian would just throw a Pokeball out of nowhere and catch the Roggenr in surprise, it was not like him but to Julian, this was the best result. He didn''t have to waste too much time trying to find the Roggenr if it tried to escape again, he could tell that Roggenr will be a big headache for him, this time his team was filled with characters, Darumaka who is careless, Karrast who thinks too much, the Drilbur Julian doesn''t know much about, he thinks it is the only one who is normal and finally this Roggenr. The one that can change its opinion faster than a Kecleon changes its color, it will be a troublesome journey for Julian with this new batch, he just hopes that they improve their habits in the future and he also hopes that the other pokemons he catches won''t be troublesome as well. Now that he is done here he picks up the Pokeball and leaves the area and heads back the main route which will take him to Nacrene city where he will have his next gym battle. Once he hits the road he also thinks about his current situation, he has three Drilburs with him, he already knows who he wants in his team but his biggest problem is to find a good trainer for the other two. Julian didn''t know many people here in Unova so it will be hard for him to just give the two Drilbur to some stranger, he needs to know if they will be good to them or Julian will feel guilty if they are treated badly. Julian decided to think about itter and get to Nacrene city first, after riding for a few hours Julian came across a smallke so he decided to camp here for today, it was about to be nightfall and Julian didn''t want to ride much so he decided to camp down, it is already time for his pokemons to train. After Julian was done setting up the camp with the help of Infernape, Gengar, Garchomp, and Victini the sky has already turned orange, it is 6:30 PM and Julian needs to finish today''s training. It is also time for Darumaka and Karrast to meet their new teammates, he called out Darumaka and Karrast, as they came out they looked around and noticed that it was already evening, it means training time, Darumaka was more excited because he can practice some of his moves and make explosion while Karrast wanted to try his best to get a little stronger. They ran around bumping into the sleeping monster Snox who won''t budge even once, Darumaka and Karrast have tried many times to wake up Snox but failed every time, after failing miserably they finally gave up, they just treated him like a bouncy rock now, whenever they get bored they would use his stomach as trampoline after watching Crystal and Victini y on top of him. Julian "Ok everyone, gather up, we have new members and I will like all of you to greet them nicely" Julian called his pokemons to circle around, his old team didn''t care much but they still came, they knew they had to greet the little ones as they are a part of a massive family now. Julian released Roggenr and the three Drilbur out, the four pokemons came out and looked around but something happened right after they got out, the three Drilbur and the Roggenr stared at each other and suddenly jumped at each other and started to fight. Julian was stunned by this, he didn''t expect a fight to break out all off a sudden between his pokemons, what surprised him, even more, was his Roggenr was actually holding his own against the three Drilbur even with the type disadvantage. Julian "Gengar, stop them" Julian now had enough and decided to let Gengar handle them. If they are going to keep causing trouble there is no one else better than Gengar to take care of them. Chapter 627 - Jump Scare Once Gengar got the permission he got excited, it has been a long time since he had fun with the little ones, Garchomp and Victini pitted the young once, they have been in this position before. If they caused too much trouble they would have to face the horror that is Gengar. ?? As the Drilburs and Roggenr continued their quarrel and fighting they didn''t notice a big dark shadow right behind them with a vicious grin on its face. Suddenly the Drilburs stopped and backed of scared as they saw Gengar standing right behind Roggenr, Roggenr, on the other hand, saw this and got very arrogant, he thought that the Drilburs gave up and backed of scared because of his awesome powers and strength. Roggenr has no idea that Gengar is standing right behind him, Roggenr then started to mock the Drilburs and looked down on them showing off his superior standing (which exists in his own mind). But Roggenr noticed something, the Drilburs were not even staring at him, they were looking at something that was behind him, Roggenr realized that something was not right and slowly turned around and saw a pokemon he has never seen in his life before. As he lived his whole life inside that cave he only knew about a few pokemons, when he saw Julian first he was surprised by this weird looking being, he had never seen a human before, Julian was his first, then he saw Victini and Crystal which were foreign to him as well and now this ck-purplish monster that is looking down on him as if it is trying to eat him. The Roggenr joined the Drilburs and tried to back off slowly but their nightmare came, the big dark monster lunged towards them. Gengar "GAAAAAAA" Gengar shouted and scared the shit out of them, the four young pokemon felt their soul being shaken and fainted from fear. Julian was stunned by this, he didn''t expect all of them to just faint from a little jump scare from Gengar, even Gengar was stunned and looked at the young pokemons with confusion in his eyes, he turned around and looked at Julian embarrassed and apologetically, he didn''t want to scare them so much that they would actually faint. Julian "Get back to what you were doing, I will handle the rest" Julian said and sighed while Garchomp and Victini pitied the young ones, they were once in the receiving end of that scare and the same thing happened to them as well, it was when Julian was not looking at them and was busy with other work. Julian let Darumaka and Karrast continue with their training while he took care of the fainted young ones, he looked at the three fainted Drilburs and sighed as he has to find the two of them a good trainer. He wished he could have left all of them behind to not face this dilemma but the youngest Drilbur was worth the risk, he has potential and he cannot miss such a good candidate for his team. He let them rest on the side and started to train Darumaka and Karrast, they both are growing strong very fast and they should be able to take on the next gym after a little more training, as Julian continued to train them, the fainted ones woke up and noticed Julian training his pokemons, they saw how Darumaka and Karrast moved and performed attacks, they had never seen anything soplicated like this before, inside the cave every pokemon only knew to perform moves and attack each other directly and now they saw how Darumaka and Karrast dodged each other''s attacks they were surprised. They even forgot their hatred towards the other and continued watching Jin train Darumaka and Karrast, as the sun finally set downpletely the training session was over, Julian noticed that the four young ones are awake and watching Darumaka and Karrast, he smiled and approached them with Victini. Julian "So you all are awake" Julian said and sat down in front of them, the three Drilburs kept their distance from Roggenr, Julian could easily tell that these little ones have some history, well a five-year-old could figure it out but now it is up to Julian to patch them up. He didn''t need all four of them to get along, he only needed the ones who will be in his team to get along. Julian "Now listen to me, two of you will not be staying with me, I will have to find you a good trainer, till then you can stay and get along with each other" He said and paused while looking at the youngest Drilbur and Roggenr. Julian "You both will be staying with me, while you two will have to leave" Julian exined the young Drilburs everything in detail, this time he used his Omniforce so that the little ones could understand what Julian is saying. The Drilburs didn''t think much about it, even though they lived their whole life together they would go their separate ways at quite a young age so they didn''t mind separating but till then they stuck together. Roggenr, on the other hand, was very happy, getting to be strong was the perfect gift for him. Julian then fed all off his pokemons their special food except the new ones he caught today, he still has no idea what is best for them so till then he will feed them normal food and two of them will soon leave so he didn''t want to discriminate between his and the other two pokemons. Chapter 628 - Julians Concern After he was done with feeding all his pokemons he sent them back to their pokeballs and went to sleep as well, he will reach Nacrene city tomorrow and he will also have to find some good trainers for the two Drilburs so they can go their own ways and Julian will have nothing to worry about. The next morning Julian woke up and did his normal routine, trained and fed his pokemons, and continued on the route towards Nacrene city, the only thing in his mind right now is to find the trainers that will take the Drilburs away from him, it was a huge headache. ?? He couldn''t just start training only his pokemon when the other two are around, just the thought of it didn''t feel right to him, the thought of being left out was never good not even for a pokemon, even though they are not his he is not so cruel. After half a day of riding Julian is finally able to see the outline of Nacrene city, thest time he was here he didn''t stay here for much, he only visited the museum to learn about the legendary pokemons that roam thends of Unova. Since he didn''t have much time on his he didn''t look at other things that this museum had to disy so he decided to look carefully, this time. After reaching the city he quickly got himself and room to stay in a hotel, he then decided to waste a day because he is feelingzy, he decided to do what he has to do tomorrow, today was a very ck and white day, nothing exciting happened for him to care about. While lying down on the bed he started to wonder about the team rocket idiots he met yesterday, it was quite out of the ordinary for them to be there, they also seemed to have received some kind of promotion, they didn''t act like idiots. Julian has been observing Team Rocket for quite a long time and Giovanni isn''t making any huge moves, he told the league to keep an eye on Giovanni when he found out that Giovanni is searching for Mewtwo but the league found nothing strange, they said that Giovanni is currently ying safe. He also noticed team rocket presence in Sinnoh but they didn''t make any big movement there either, it was as if Giovanni is nning something that Julian doesn''t know about. He personally knew Giovanni was not the type who would just sit around and do nothing, team rocket was sending their agents to different regions to search for something, Julian wondered if he is still searching for Mewtwo because it was the only possible exnation. Giovanni spent too much time and resource behind Mewtwo to just let it go, even Julian has no idea where Mewtwo is right now, thest time he saw Mewtwo was when he defeated it, there were news about Mewtwo being seen or spotted by few people online, they stated that they saw a weird pokemon flying through the sky. This made Julian believe that Mewtwo was still in Kanto but that was months ago, Mewtwo can easily travel all over the world within a few days if its wants, with all the time it had to grow stronger, it is not impossible for it to do so. Now that Mewtwo haspletely disappeared from the public''s eye no one knows where it is, so Julian might think that Giovanni is after Mewtwo, sending his agents all over the world to search for it, a pokemon like Mewtwo which has the power to rival the strongest of legendary pokemons, how could anyone not think about controlling it. One more thing Julian is worried about is Mewtwo itself, he knows it hasn''t caused much trouble but Mewtwo is the only pokemon that has human feelings inside it. Pokemons may disy emotions like humans but it is not that extreme, they don''t overact or overreact, while humans, they can do anything based on their emotions, so Julian worries that Mewtwo might just snap one day and create a massive disaster. If Giovanni continues to search for Mewtwo and does something stupid, it will be a huge trouble, Julian just hopes that this never happens and everything stays peaceful with Mewtwo, he would rather face Primal Groudon and Kyogre then face Mewtwo as he knows that Mewtwo has endless potential and can grow even stronger and how strong it has gotten by now, only it knows. Julian looked outside the window and noticed that it is already evening and it is time to feed his pokemons. After doing so he took them to park and let them just y around, he was in no mood in training them so he just watched them run around the park doing stupid things and having small fights between them, he didn''t get involved much in their fights because it is the best way for them to get along with each other, as night arrived he returned back to his hotel and fell asleep, it was a very long and boring day for him and sleep was the best medicine he can ask for. Chapter 629 - Weird Boy Next day Julian woke up and stretched his body, he looked at the clock on the wall and noticed that it is 9 AM, not too early nor toote, he got off from the beds, did the usual morning routine and fed his pokemons. After it was done he headed out, his goal is to find a good trainer for the two Drilburs he has with him, the best way to find them are either in training parks where most trainerse to train their pokemons or near pokemon gym as they will be heading to challenge the gym leaders. ?? Maybe Julian will get lucky and find a good trainer on his first go but he is not so hopeful, being hopeful may lead to disappointment, Julian arrived at the pokemon park and sat down on a chair that was close to a battlefield, he could see a lot of young trainers training their pokemon, some of them were battling each other and improving their skills. As Julian looked around he realized that this park is very big, it has several battlefields and many trainers are facing off against each other, most of them are just young trainers who just started but there were also a lot of experienced ones hanging around trying to find a match for themselves. Julian took out a packaged milkshake from his pouch and started to drink while looking around, he will have to do this all day till he finds a trainer, for hours Julian had no luck, he did see some good trainer here and there who had raised their pokemon well but it was not enough for him, Julian was always a responsible person, he didn''t just want to give them off to any good trainer, they had to stand out. If these Drilburs wherein his team they would be monsters so he would feel guilty if he just gave them off to a random trainer who is mediocre in his eyes, he wished he could see Ash now so he can just give one of the Drilbur to him. He watched as many trainers came and when, whenever there was a battle, the crowd would gather around the battlefield and watch the battle. Things continued like this and Julian is getting bored, he took out his phone and started to y some solitaire on it. As he was doing so he noticed something at the corner of the park, a massive crowd was actually gathering around a battlefield, seeing this Julian got excited, this was what he was looking for, seeing the crowd getting bigger and bigger every second Julian knew that a special trainer has appeared. For such a huge crowd to father Julian could tell that the trainer is either special or unique, no ordinary trainer can gather suchrge crowd, only unique and special trainers can do so because people are always attracted to special and unique things. He approached the crowd and looked beyond them to see what is actually happening, he saw two trainers actually battling, both of them had young pokemons with them so they just started their training journey or had caught new pokemons for themselves. He looked at both the trainers, one is a girl with blond hair and other is a boy with ck hair, the girl didn''t stand out much and her Growlithe was ordinary but the boy was weird, his ck hairs were covering his eyes but Julian could still see them behind his hair, they were purple in color, it was a rare color so Julian noticed it easily, the body is wearing a ck and purple dress which looked like a royal suit worn by nobles in the early era, he also has a ponytail tied from a purple ribbon, he looked like an emo kid from outward appearance but he didn''t give off that vibe at all. He looks to be around 12 years old to Julian but what stood out most was his pokemon, a Mawile, it is one of the pokemons that are recorded to Mega Evolve, even though all pokemons have the ability to Mega Evolve only a few species have been recorded so far and Mawile is one of them. He looked at the Mawile and got impressed, even though it is young it is releasing quite an aura, from the looks of it, Growlithe clearly seems to have the advantage but Julian already knew that the Mawile is going to win, the battle started and ended within a minute, the Growlithe got caught with a Bite from the massive jaw behind Mawile''s head. The girl sighed in disappointment and left for another trainer to take her ce, soon that trainer also got defeated, Julian just stood there and watched to see what the kid will do, after winning against all his opponents so easily he didn''t seem to have any change in his feelings at all. If it was any other trainer they would either feel superior or show disdain against these trainers but this kid remained emotionless, even Julian is not capable of remain emotionless for such a long time. Soon the kid was in a 15 straight win streak and no one could defeat him, his Mawile seems to be doing ok as well, it didn''t even receive one hit, Julian was really impressed, this kids talent was even better than Ash and Paul. Julian wondered where this kid came from, soon the trainers inside the crowd gave up on the idea of challenging the boy, they could clearly see he was a great trainer and all of them needed way more training. Some trainers from the crowd approached him and asked about him and his pokemon but the boy only gave one-word answers. After some time the crowd lost their interest in him because no one challenged him anymore so they went away to watch others battle. Now only Julian and the boy were left near the battlefield and both of them looked at each other. Chapter 630 - Observation Subject The weird boy looked at the man in ck and didn''t say anything and just stood there, Julian also did the same, he wanted to see how the boy will react, seeing no reaction he was surprised. This was the first time Julian couldn''t read someone and on top of that, it was just a 12-year-old kid. ?? He smiled and approached the boy. Julian "What is your name kid?"He asked. "Yesh" The boy answered. Julian, didn''t think much and took out two pokeballs from his pouch and ced them in front of the boy. Julian "Do you want a pokemon, both these Pokeball have a Drilbur, you can choose any one of them" He said and looked at the boy, the boy didn''t say much and picked up a Pokeball and released a Drilbur from it, he looked at it and nodded his head, he then took the second ball and released the other Drilbur as well, he then looked at both of them and quickly chose one. Julian looked at his choice and nodded his head, even though both Drilburs seemed equally good the one the boy chose had a little more potential. Julian put the other Drilbur back to its Pokeball and looked at the Drilbur that Yesh chose. Julian "Go, this is your new trainer, he will take care of you" Julian said and turned around ready to leave when the boy suddenly called him by his name, Julian stopped surprised, and turned around. Yesh "Mr. Julian, you are Mr. Julian right?" The boy asked. Julian is indeed surprised because the boy found his identity even though he was behind his mask, he wondered what gave off his identity away. Julian "How did you find out?" Yesh "Simple, you are standing is 6 feet tall, your chest seems to be around 120 to 125 centimeters, waist around 36 inches, all these fit the profile, also your red eyes and ck hair gave it off, now many people would notice these simple things but I can" The boy said. Hearing the answer Julian felt chill down his spine, even he didn''t know his chest and waist size and now a 12-year-old boy identified him with just that, Julian didn''t know what to say. Julian "So what do you want Yesh?" He asked. Yesh "I want you to take me as your student" Yesh said with a t tone, hearing this Julian is stunned, this is the first time someone has ever asked him to do so. Julian "You must be joking right?" Julian said andughed it off. Yesh "No, I do not joke, the action to make someoneugh seems very pointless to me" Yesh said. Hearing this Julian knew he encountered an enigma but he also noted that this boy is a rare genius. Julian "Why me? Even though I am good at what I do, that doesn''t mean I can be a good teacher, what do you even expect to learn from me?" Julian asked. Yesh "I have looked into every strong trainer in the world and you are the only one with a consistent victory and has a 100% win rate which seems to be impossible for any other trainer, even some of the strongest trainers that I havee across like Leon from Gr region has a 90% win rate but he is better than others and has maintained a winning streak for quite a long time now. You on the other hand never lost even one of your battle, from the day you debuted till this day, Zero losses, you are clearly the best option" Julian "But that still doesn''t answer my question, I am not a good teacher, in fact, I haven''t even though anyone about pokemon battles" Julian said while crossing his arm. Yesh "Negative, trainer Ash was clearly thought by you in some way, at first, his winning percentage was just average at 50%, then something happened, it was clearly your exposure that his win percentage increased to 70%" Julian didn''t know what to say, he realized that this Yesh is even scarier than he thought, he even researched the people Julian hase across. Julian "Look, if I was a teacher then I would have given it a thought but clearly I am not one and I have other things to do, you should find a real pokemon teacher who has a license of some sort" Julian said trying to decline the kid, he didn''t have to time to teach this kid on how to pokemon battle and the kid was already very good at it so he didn''t have much to teach either. Yesh "There is nothing to worry, I will not waste your time and only observe from the side, you don''t have to pay for anything for me, I can take care of my food and living, the only thing is transport which should be possible on your bike" The boy said. Julian is stunned once again, Julian just wanted to decline the boy on teaching him but the boy already thought of going along with him on his journey. Julian didn''t know what to say. Julian "What is the use of just observing, you will just be wasting your time" Julian came up with every reason he can to make the boy quit but it all seems useless. Yesh "It won''t, I have a photographic memory, I can watch the battle and store it in my memory, then I can analyze it when we are doing nothing" Yesh said. Julian ''This kid said he wants me as a teacher but he is treating me like an observation subject to learn about pokemon battle'' Julian felt helpless, he has never met a character like Yesh, he didn''t know how to get rid of this politely, now his only option is to be direct. Chapter 631 - Looking Into Lenora The Gym Leader Julian "Look Yes, I know you want to learn from the best but I can''t I don''t think I will be able to take you with me" Julian gave a direct answer this time, he really didn''t want any trouble rting to this kid following his around. ?? Yesh "I can help you with taking care of your pokemon and do other stuff for you, it will be a win-win situation" Yesh still didn''t want to give up so he proposed the idea of taking care of everything for Julian and his pokemons, hearing this offer Julian thought about it for a few seconds. The offered is very tempting, he still remembered how easy it was when he has Daisy by his side as she helped him take care of his pokemons, he still did some work but Daisy did the most, this also helped him focus on his pokemons training more. He thought about it and decided to put this idea on a trial period. Julian "Ok, I will give you one month, for one month you can follow me but if I don''t like it you will have to leave" Julian said. Since Yesh is being so forward into helping him on everything in exchange of just standing on the side and watch his training process and battles, it was no big deal, his training was not anything special, it was hard and intense physical and mental training that made his pokemons strong, that was only half of their strength, the other half is his Omniforce strengthening them slowly and with Julian''s knowledge, they be very strong. Observing his methods won''t matter, at the end of the day it is up to the trainer on how he or she wants to grow stronger, teachers are just meant to show the way, the rest needs to be done by the trainer themselves so Julian wondered what is Yesh''s mindset. From what he has seen, Yesh is a lot better than Ash and Paul when ites to pokemon battles, he wanted to see how he actually trained his pokemons, what is his mindset and what he wants to achieve as these are the key factor for every trainer. Now that Julian has found a trainer, he needs to find another one trainer for thest Drilbur, as Julian walked out of the trainer''s park he realized that Yesh is still following. Julian "Don''t you have somewhere to go?"He asked to which Yesh shook his head saying no. Julian "Where are you from?" Yesh "Johto" Julian "Why did youe to Unova then?" Yesh "To find you" Julian "That''s all, you came all the way to Unova just to find me?" Yesh "Yes and also to participate in my first ever league" Julian felt helpless. Julian "How many badges do you have?" Julian asked as he has no idea what to do with this kid. Yesh "Just one, the Trio Badge" Julian "Then will you challenge the Nacrene gym now?" Yesh "Yes" Julian "Then go and challenge the gym" Yesh "I am not ready yet, I need a little more training, since you are my teacher you should battle with me" Yesh said. Julian "Hmm, you know what, meet me tomorrow here and we will start out training, I hope you have a room here in the city" Julian said to which Yesh nodded and just walked away, for some reason Julian felt that Yesh was just a robot or a cyborg but it was just his thought, Yesh is indeed a human, it is only the way he acts like a cold robot would. Julian felt that kids these days are weird, after getting rid of the problem Julian headed back to his hotel, today he didn''t give any training to his pokemons, he will do that in the evening and he also hopes to find a new trainer who he can give thest Drilbur to. After returning to his hotel room Julian didn''t do much except looking into the Nacrene gym and its leader, the leader''s name is Lenora and she is a normal pokemon type user, it was rare to see normal type gym leaders as they are very few, most of them stick to a certain element while normal typing was just mediocre in everyone''s eyes. In the pokemon world, people like to shit on bug type users because bug type pokemons are known to be the weakest, but when ites to other typing no one can tell which is the best or which is the second-worst, but when ites to normal typing people just don''t care about it, its neither good nor bad to them, it''s just there. Many people even tell young trainers to start with a normal type pokemon as they are the easiest. Julian continued looking into Lenora''s team and saw that her first team is made up of three pokemons Herdier, Watchog, and a Dunsparce, this team of hers are meant to battle trainers who only have one or two badges with them, while her other team consists of Braviary, Kangaskhan, Lickilicky, and Sawsbuck. These four pokemons of hers are said to be very strong and if the trainers didn''t challenge her early in their journey they would only challenge her once they had six to seven badges with them. Julian was impressed by this as he went through her information, a good gym leader, he wondered if she is really as good as this information say or are people just exaggerating. Chapter 632 - Training Yesh As Julian had promised Yesh he will be there at the trainer''s park to battle with him he went to the park very early, before Yesh coulde Julian wanted to see if he could find any other trainer that is eligible for thest Drilbur. When he reached the park he saw Yesh waiting for him, he is surprised, he didn''t think he woulde so early, Julian walked towards him. ?? Julian "Why did youe so early?" He asked. He didn''t understand this kid at all. Yesh "You didn''t specify the exact time of our meeting so I came as soon as dawn broke" Julian sighed and said nothing, he walked towards a battlefield and took his position. Julian "Take your position and send out your pokemons that you will use for your battle against the Nacrene gym leader" Yesh nodded and took his position, he took out a Pokeball and sent out his first pokemon, it was the Mawile that Julian had seen yesterday, he had soon how good it ispared to a normal pokemon but it still had room for improvements. Julian "The gym leader of the Nacrene gym is a normal type user so going with Mawile is a good choice but that doesn''t mean you will win, they can use fire and ground type moves as a counter, are you ready for anything they throw at you?" Julian questioned to which Yesh pondered for a second before nodding his head, Julian smirked and sent out his Darumaka on the battlefield, Darumaka came out excited ready to make some explosions, he looked at his opponent and grinned with his tiny mouth. Julian "Let''s have a mock battle, then we will continue on how you can improve on your technique" Hearing Julian, Yesh nodded and got ready to battle, this is his first time battling Julian so he is extra cautious, he knows Julian is the toughest opponent he has ever faced and his chances of winning are none but if he canst long enough it is enough for him. Keeping this mindset the battle started with Yesh calling out the first move with his Mawile with Fairy Wind, Mawile opened its jaws behind its head wide open and blew out a stream of wind which is filled with fairy type energy. Julian saw this and didn''t do much, Mawile was clearly a physical attacker and this Fairy Wind will have very little effect on him as he is also resistant to fairy type moves, seeing the Fairy Winding towards him Darumaka rolled up and turned himself into a ball, the Fairy Wind hit him and caused him to roll back and that was it. Yesh wanted to see how Julian and Darumaka will react to an attack so he can base his strategy on that but seeing the result he gave up on the idea, Julian was too hard to read, while other trainers might move away or counter the attack Julian let his Darumaka just take it because he knew it would have little to no effect on his Darumaka. Yesh didn''t show any emotions at all and continued the battle with another attack. Yesh "Use Bite" Yesh realized that it was useless trying to figure out Julian, he needed to engage them in a real sh before he can figure out anything, his Mawile charged at Darumaka and suddenly turned around exposing its massive jaw behind its head which is trying to snap down on Darumaka. Julian "Use methrower" As Mawile got closer Darumaka used methrower right inside Mawile''s jaw catching it off-guard, Darumaka being a physical attacker was not very good at using methrower but it was still decent, Mawile being a steel type also made a difference. Mawile got sted back to Yesh''s side with burnt marks inside its rear jaw. Julian "Sometimes it better the counter then dodge a move, if you are confident in your pokemon''s ability to counter then do it, think before calling out a move, for example right now I used methrower a special type move to counter your Bite a physical move. If I had used a physical move both Darumaka and Mawile would have been affected by it but maintaining my pokemon''s distance from his opponent made a great difference" Yesh nodded noting it down, these were all useful information he can learn from Julian, his Mawile did suffer from damage but it is still in good condition to continue. Julian made his move this time and called out an attack. Julian "Use me Wheel" Hearing Julian Darumaka started to run then suddenly went face down on the ground turning and started to roll, mes covered his body as his speed increased, soon he turned into a spinning fire wheel which charged at Mawile, seeing the power behind the attack Yesh knew he had to dodge. Yesh "Dodge and use Brick Break" Mawile moved to the side and turned around quickly and used Brick Break trying to hit Darumaka from the side. Julian "Jump" As Mawile was about tond the Brick Break on Darumaka he suddenly jumped up in the air using his tiny feet escaping the disaster by an inch. Julian "Now methrower" Darumaka canceled his me Wheel and used methrower which went all over the battlefield as he is still spinning in the air, Mawile couldn''t dodge it and got hit by them and backed off with more burned marks, Darumakanded on the ground and got to his feet" Julian "Sometimes the opponent cane up with unpredictable moves, most of them cannot be avoided but the trainer should be vignt and try toe up with something very fast before your pokemon gets hit" Julian gave another point which Yesh noted down, he also noticed that his Mawile''s condition is getting worse at it cannot continue for long, being weak to fire type moves, it was clearly at a disadvantage so Yesh decided to call Mawile back. Chapter 633 - Training Yesh (2) Since Yesh knew that his Mawile cannot continue any further he decided to go with his second pokemon, as per the information on the inte the gym leader of Nacrene gym prefers two on two pokemon battle so he has already chosen his pokemons, one is Mawile, his ace and other is his Croagunk which he just sent out to the battlefield. Julian looked at Yesh''s Croagunk and nodded his head, it was a good pokemon, still young but a lot to learn, he also liked Yesh''s choice of using Croagunk for his uing gym battle, being a fighting type it couldnd double the damage on the pokemons used by the Nacrene gym leader and it could also slow down its opponent with its poison. ?? Julian "You Croagunk looks fast, hope you use its speed in the battle or it will be a knockout" Julian warned Yesh before the battle even started, he wanted to see how Yesh deals with his this time, with his Mawile Yesh had no counter and just got hit by Julian''s Darumaka, now that he has a faster pokemon with him Julian wondered how it will affect their mock battle. Julian "Let''s start them, Darumaka use me Wheel"Darumaka once again charged at his opponent with a powerful me Wheel spinning at very high speed which increased the power behind the me Wheel, Yesh observed Darumaka''s movement carefully, he had never seen a Darumaka move like this, he also noticed how Darumaka would use his hands and legs when theye in contact with the ground to jump and move direction very fast. He realized that he can exploit the time it takes for Darumaka toe in contact with the ground with his legs and hands, most of the time it will be using its round body which he cannot use to jump, Yesh found what he needed to do and waited for his opportunity. His Croagunk stood there and waited for Yeshmand patiently, as Darumaka got closer Yesh knew his chance is here. Yesh "Croagunk, now Brick Break" As Yesh saw Darumaka''s leg touch the ground he made his move, his Croagunk charged at Darumaka with a Brick Break, Darumaka couldn''t dodge this as his legs are up in the air along with his hands, Yesh chose the perfect time to attack. Julian "Use Fire Punch" Suddenly Julian made his call and Darumaka abandoned the me Wheel and put all that power into his Fire Punch, both pokemon shed with each other but the impact was not big. As Darumaka was still spinning his knuckles scraped down against Croagunk''s fist which caused a lot of pain to Croagunk, it backed down and grabbed onto its hand, Yesh noticed this and for the first time, he disyed an emotion. It was a surprise, he didn''t expect this result at all. Julian "Very good, you were able to see the hole in my Darumaka''s movement but it is very important for a trainer to keep his eye on the opposition trainer as well, you were too focused on my Darumaka. On the other hand, I had my eyes on you, as soon as you did something I had toe up with something and counter it. Now seeing the result, it looks like your Croagunk won''t be able to use its right fist for the battle" Julian continued with his remarks which Yesh took note. Julian "Remember, every battle is different and you are always facing two opponents, one is the pokemon and the other is the trainer. If you are able to outsmart both of your opponents it will always be your win" He paused for a second and looked at Yesh Croagunk, he knew that it won''t be able to battle properly without its lead hand so Julian decided to call it a day. Julian "Let''s stop here, take your Croagunk to a pokemon center and heal him up, once you are ready, you can challenge the Nacrene gym". Yesh nodded his head and called his Croagunk back to its Pokeball and left the park to visit a pokemon center, as Julian watched Yesh disappear from his vision he sighed. He didn''t know how to feel about it, this was new to him, he now has a "student" who is not normal, Julian was against the idea at first but he thought that this might be a unique experience which will help him grow further. Teaching someone is a huge responsibility and he knows it, Yesh doesn''t seem like a normal kid so he knows he will have a hard time really connecting with him but it is a new challenge to him. As Yesh left Julian continued his search for thest trainer who he can give the Drilbur too, it was a burden he quickly wants to get rid of and it looks like it is gonna be very hard. After a whole day being wasted searching for someone who is good enough for Julian, he returns back with a huge failure, he didn''t know where he can find a good trainer, then he suddenly thought of something. Julian "What if I give the Drilbur to the gym leader of Nacrene gym, even if she doesn''t need it she can still find a suitable trainer who can train it." He said in a low voice and thought about this possibility, it was not a bad idea, the gym leader of Nacrene gym is a veteran pokemon trainer and veteran trainers are not someone a normal trainer can look down upon, they also have a keen eye for talent so this can really be a good move from Julian''s side. Julian "I just hope she excepts this request." He said and got on top of his bed and fell asleep. Chapter 634 - Yesh Vs Lenora Julian then continued to train Yesh for two days before Yesh finally decided that he is ready to take on the Nacrene gym leader, Julian felt that Yesh was overworking himself and his pokemon, with all the training he got with Julian he could easily take down a second gym. Even Julian''s pokemon got a lot of training and improved a lot, he even started to train his Roggenr and Drilbur, he noticed that both of them became reallypetitive around each other which would lead them to often break into a big fight which would soon get dispelled by Gengar or Infernape. ?? Julian didn''t know how to take care of these two new additions to his group, he could tell they really hated each other, Julian decided to let them fight, for now. Soon they will get along after finding respect for each other, it was always like this. It is not the first time there was fighting between his pokemons but they were not serious as Roggenr and Drilbur, they really seemed to hate each other. ___________________Today is the day Yesh is going to challenge the gym so Julian decided to go and see what he can learn from the battle, how good is this gym leader, he heard that she is very good at what she does and now he gets to personally witness it. Julian woke up early and headed towards the center of the city where the gym is located. When he reached there he saw a beautifully decorated building that looked like a pce but shrunk down, this building is the Nacrene city gym. He looked around and saw a trainer getting out of the gym a little disappointed and frustrated, it looks like he lost against the gym leader, Julian walked past the trainer and entered the gym building, he looked around and saw that the interior was also really well decorated, there is a red carpet on the floor and a lot of vases and statues were ced around the hall. He saw an old man with a ck suit standing next to a door. When the old man saw Julian he just smiled and nodded. Julian, walked towards the old man. Julian "I am here to watch a pokemon battle" He said to which the old man just nodded and gestured Julian to enter through the door, Julian nodded his head and walked past the old man and into the door, as he walked in he saw a big battlefield and right in the middle of the battlefield stood a woman who seems to be in her early 30s, she is a ck woman with bushy light teal color hair on top of her head, she is also wearing a white shirt and teal pants. This woman is the gym leader of the Nacrene gym, Lenora. She noticed Julian walk in and gazed at him for a few seconds, she saw this man covering his face with a ck make clearly wanting to hide his identity. Lenora "Are you here to challenge me?" She asked in a very confident voice, she was ready to battle anyone right on the spot without a second thought. Hearing her question Julian shook his head denying it. Julian "I am just here to watch today, maybe tomorrow" He said and took his seat in the audience area, Lenora continued looking at Julian with a suspicious gaze, she already has some guesses in her mind on who this person could be but she kept quiet, as she was about to continue what she was doing another person walked in, this time it is a young boy with ck hair and purple clothes. It is Yesh and he came to battle Lenora. Lenora looked at Yesh and didn''t think much and took her position on the battlefield, she could tell that the boy wanted to battle her just by the way he looked at her, Yesh also took his position and nced at Julian who is sitting on the side. Lenora "I will keep it short, this will be a two on two pokemon battle, you will be the only one allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, the person who has a pokemon standing at the end of the battle will be the winner, am I clear?" She asked to which Yesh nodded, he has heard these rules several times so it didn''t matter if he understood it or not, it was all the same. Lenora "Good then let''s begin the battle, send out your pokemon" She said and tossed a Pokeball up in the air revealing her first pokemon, a Watchog. Yesh didn''t say much and sent out his Croagunk for this round, he is very confident in his ability to win as his pokemons improved a lot in these two days that he trained with Julian. Seeing Yesh''s choice Lenora chuckled and didn''t say anything. Lenora "Then, let the battle begin" She said and started the battle. Chapter 635 - Yesh Vs Lenora (2) Julian wondered what Yesh is going to do If it was him he would have gone with Mawile as it is stronger and more reliable than his Croagunk, with better attack and defense it can tank many hits and take down a normal type pokemon easily as they rely on more physical attacks. With Mawile Yesh could have had a better physical attack and higher physical defense, it could also take some normal type special attacks from Lenora''s pokemon because it is resistant to normal types. ?? Julian didn''t think much and decided to continue watching the battle as he wanted to see what Yesh is up. The battle started as Lenora made her first step, being at a disadvantage here she has to act smart and fast and being a veteran she knows how to start it off. Lenora "Watchog, use Bite"Her Watchog charged at Croagunk using Bite, as Julian saw this he is surprised by the power behind Lenora''s Watchog, it was more powerful than he expected. Seeing the attacking Yesh made his move as well. Yesh "Croagunk, move back and use Mud-p" Croagunk jumped back and punched the ground and sted wet mud at Watchog which were about to hit its eyes but it clearly saw iting and moved its head to the side and continued forward with its Bite Attack. Seeing his move fail Yesh didn''t react much and called out his next move to counter. Yesh "Use Venoshock" Croagunk suddenly used Venoshock catching Watchog by surprise, the dark jaws in front of hits mouth suddenly exploded and Watchog was sent back rolling on the ground but it soon got back to its feet and stared coldly at Croagunk as its eyes glowed yellow. Julian smiled seeing Yesh moves, it was one of his moves, to counter with a special attack when the opponent moves in with a physical one. If his attack is strong enough it should be able to deal damage and avoided getting hit by the opponent as well, Lenora also didn''t expect this and just smiled, her Watchog still has a lot to show as well. Lenora "Impressive but you have to do better than that. Watchog, use Crunch" Her Watchog moved again and this time it is much faster than before, seeing the attacking, Yesh tried to perform the same counter with Venoshock but something happened which took Yesh by surprise. Lenora "Abandon Crunch and use Confuse Ray" Watchog suddenly dispelled Crunch and sent a Confuse Ray at Croagunk which went right past the Venoshock and hit Croagunk but Watchog also took damage from the Venoshock. Croagunk is now confused and it might just hurt itself if it tries to perform any attacks while Lenora''s Watchog is also not doing so well, getting hit by two powerful Venoshock is bad news, even for her Watchog which seems pretty strong but she has the edge now. Lenora "Good, Croagunk is confused, use Super Fang" Her Watchog charged at Croagunk again and this time with Super Fang, Julian noted this down in his head, Super Fang is a very good move, no matter how strong the opponent if this attack hits it will take down half of the opponent''s health. This time Croagunk is not able to escape from Watchog''s attack and gets hit by the Super Fang and gets badly damaged, with its energy and health refused to half Croagunk is in a bad spot. Lenora "You need to do more than this, kid if you want a badge from my gym" She said and smirked, Yesh didn''t seem to mind the provocation and just watched as if nothing has happened, it looked like he is waiting for the Confusion to ward off. Lenora "Let''s finish this, use Hyper Fang" Watchog moved for the finishing blow but Croagunk suddenly snapped out of its confusion, with such a big hit from that previous Super Fang the confusion wasn''t going tost for much, and Yesh now had his opportunity. Yesh "Croagunk, dodge and use Poison Jab"Croagunk being quick on its feet moved to the side and avoided the Hyper Fang and jabbed its hand straight into the Watchog''s stomach with Poison Jab, Watchog staggered back while holding onto its stomach, itspletion soon started to turn purple showing signs of Poison. Than Poison Jab did what it needed to do and poisoned Watchog, it started to grow weak and went on its knee, it was already damaged by those precious Venoshock and now this Poison Jab did it bad. Yesh didn''t even give Lenora time to think before finishing the battle with another Venoshock"Lenora''s Watchog copsed on the ground after getting hit by another Venoshock as the poison inside in red up because of it and it fainted. Julian is pleased by Yesh''s performance, he is not perfect but he gives very little chance for his opponent to get the upper hand, he is very tactical during his battles. Chapter 636 - Yesh Vs Lenora (3) Yesh has won the first bout but the battle is not over yet, his Croagunk is in not in a good condition and it won''tst long during the battle, but Yesh still holds an advantage as he still hasn''t revealed his second pokemon. Lenora also seems pretty calm even though her Watchog has been taken down by Yesh and his Croagunk, she didn''t say much and sent her Watchog back to its Pokeball. ?? Lenora "You are good kid, it''s been a while since a young trainer like you has been able to take me down on their first attempt" She said and sent out her second pokemon, a Herdier, the Herdier came out of the Pokeball and took a stance and growled at Croagunk. Lenora "Let''s see how you perform now" Lenora provoked Yesh further. Yesh didn''t say much and continued with his attack. Yesh "Use Poison Jab" His Croagunk charged at Herdier with full speed, it moved like a ninja from one spot to another trying to confuse Herdier andnd an effective hit. Lenora just smiled and waited for Croagunk to get near, Julian noticed this and realized that Yesh made a bad call, Yesh doesn''t know what this Herdier has up its sleeve and went for a direct attack, this can be dangerous as he has no idea what kind of counter Lenora can make. Lenora waited for the perfect timing and made her call. Lenora "Now, down and Psychic Fang" As Croagunk moved in with its Poison Jab, Herdier suddenly lowered its body and head by bending its four legs easily dodging the Jab, it then went for the bite, its fangs are covered in Psychic energy as they bit into Croagunk''s arm. Suddenly a burst of Psychic energy traveled across Croagunk''s body and exploded sending it flying backward and crashing into the ground, it fainted right after that. Yesh was surprised but he didn''t seem to mind losing his Croagunk, without saying much he sent it back to its Pokeball and sent out his Mawile. Yesh Mawile clearly has the advantage but Lenora''s Herdier seems to be very strong as well, Julian wondered how this battle to unfold. The battle started and Yesh made his first move. Yesh "Use Astonish" Mawile moved forward towards Herdier to attack and just like before Lenora made her Herdier stand its ground, as Mawile got closer a shadow hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and mmed into Herdier sending it backward. This came as a surprise to everyone, even Julian, but Yesh didn''t stop there, his attack seems to have worked really well and it caused Herdier to flinch so Yesh continued with his attack. Yesh "Now use m" Mawile used the massive jaws that are behind its head and swung it at Herdier who is trying to get itself together but it gets hit anyway and is sent rolling on the ground. Lenora "Herdier on your feet and use Thunderbolt" Herdier soon got back to its feet quickly as the momentum of it rolling on the ground slowed down, as soon as it got on its feet it sted a powerful Thunderbolt at Mawile and since the attack was too fast Mawile couldn''t dodge it and took it directly. Mawile is injured but Yesh is in luck because Herdier is not a special attacker so its special attacks won''t do too much harm but Yesh is not an idiot, he knows he cannot continue taking those Thunderbolts. Yesh "Mawile, use Icy Wind" Mawile attacked again and this time trying to freeze its opponent on the spot, Icy Wind being a wide range attack Herdier had very little space to dodge it so it got caught but it. The temperature of the surrounding gradually fell down as Herdier tried to move around so that he won''t get frozen, its speed and power is slowly decreasing as the cold winds continue to blow. Lenora had enough and went for an attack, she knew this could clearly be a trap forcing her Herdier closer to Mawile''s jaw but if she doesn''t do anything her Herdier will get frozen. Lenora "Use Fire Fang" Herdier rushed towards Mawile using Fire Fang but that is what Yesh wanted, using Icy Wind to force Lenora into attacking him, as Herdier got closer Yesh attacked. Yesh "Sucker Punch" As Herdier got closer it got hit by a hard Sucker Punch, Sucker Punch is the type of attack that alwaysnds first so no matter what Herdier does it will get hit unless it was trying to defend itself in the first ce. Since it is attacking Mawile with Fire Fang, it got hit by a Sucker Punch first. Herdier staggered back on its feet and tried to attack Mawile again but suddenly noticed''s Mawile''s massive jaws opening right in from of its face. Yesh "Use crunch" Mawile''s jaws such down andpletely gobbled up Herdier inside, an explosion used inside and when Mawile opened its mouth Herdier crashed on the ground fainted. Yesh won the battle with his Mawile. Julian is also impressed by how Yesh forced Lenora to move for an attack by using Icy Wind, Yesh realized that Herdier was clearly a physical attacker and isn''t great with special attacks, even the Thunderbolt didn''t cause much damage to his Mawile which is clearly a very powerful electric type attack. So using Icy Wind was a wise choice, forcing Lenora''s Herdier to get closer then hit it with a Sucker Punch, there was no way it would have gone wrong unless Herdier was able to take the hit which it didn''t. Lenora just smiled, even though she lost it was the way of a gym leader, they face lots of wins and loss in their career, it doesn''t matter if they lose or win, gym leaders are meant to take it easy on trainers so they can move forward. If they didn''t go easy many young trainers would just give up on their dream to be a strong pokemon trainer with all those losses. Lenora could have been much harder on Yesh, Julian noticed several times Lenora held back knowing Yesh is not still there to take her on in a serious battle and Yesh had already impressed her enough by beating her pokemons. She didn''t want to crush a young man''s dream by bullying them, she is a gym leader, not a bully, her job is meant to shape the young trainers of today so they can be the responsible veteran trainers of tomorrow. Chapter 637 - More To Yesh Than It Seems Yesh won his second gym battle in Unova, he is a good trainer and caught up to what Julian thought him easily but he still has a long way to go. Lenora also seemed to be impressed by Yesh and walked towards him and gave him the Basic Badge, it is a slender rectangle with golden borders and purple color inside them. ?? Yesh didn''t show any emotions and just took the badge and put it inside his badge case, now that he was done with his battle he called his Mawile back, turned around and left. Since Julian also has nothing to do he decided to leave as well. He cannot battle her now even if he wanted to because her pokemons are already in bad shape and they need to rest, Lenora watched as Julian got up from his seat and walked towards the door. Lenora "So tomorrow huh?" She asked to which Julian just nodded his head. Lenora "I won''t hold back, I want to see how good you really are with your new pokemons" Lenora has already figured out Julian''s identity, there was already talk between gym leaders about Julian, a man in ck suit and mask wille to battle them and it will either be Julian or someone pretending to be him. There were a lot who used Julian''s identity to fool around with the gym leaders so they were a little wary about everyone that walked into their gym, but seeing how this particr one acted, he didn''t say he was the champion, he didn''t directly challenge them nor he was being arrogant. He minded his own business and watched the battle, a pretender wouldn''t act like this so Lenora took a wild guess. Julian turned around and looked at Lenora. Julian "Ms. Lenora, you are indeed a very good gym leader, one of the best I have seen but you cannot defeat me, I wille back to im my badge tomorrow" He said and walked away leaving Lenora behind, she didn''t mind Julian''s provocation at all, instead, sheughed, she had not fought a serious battle in ages so she will be waiting for Julian''s challenge. As Julian got out of the gym he saw Yesh standing outside waiting for him, when he saw Julian, Yesh walked towards him and asked him about his performance. Julian "You did good by forcing her into attacking, thest part was very good but the beginning of the battle could be improved, Lenora had many moments where she could have chosen to counter but held back knowing your capability" He gave an honest answer but it didn''t seem to bother Yesh at all, he just noted it down inside his head and looked at Julian once again and this time he just stood there looking at him. Julian "Anything else?" Julian asked as he looked at Yesh looking at him with his emotionless eyes like a robot. Yesh "What do I do now?" He asked clueless about what he should do, he finished his battle before he expected, he thought it will take him a little bit longer before he could challenge Lenora but with Julian''s help, he improved a little faster and now he has no idea what he was going to do, he cannot leave the city because he wanted to tag along with Julian. Julian "Why are you asking this to me, do whatever you want, go y, look around the city, do what kids do" He said. Yesh "They all seem pointless to me, I don''t understand why people even do that, its a waste of time and energy" Yesh said in a t tone again to which Julian sighed, he knew Yesh has problems but he doesn''t want to know about it, my be in the future if things beingplicated and messy but now he wants to do nothing with Yesh''s origin, he is just a boy who wants to learn and is willing to help Julian doing his daily chores during his travel. Julian "Have you eaten anything?" He asked. Yesh shook his head denying it and told Julian that he hasn''t had anything since morning. Julian "Then let''s go and eat something, then you can go and train further in the park if you want" Julian said and took Yesh to a restaurant, after getting themselves a table a waiter passed the menus to both Julian and Yesh. Julian "Order anything you want" Yesh nodded his head and started to order, and it was filled with different types of hamburgers and chicken burgers, Julian just sighed and ordered some steak and something to go with it, the waiter nodded and looked weirdly at Yesh, even though kids liked burgers he has never seen any kid order so much, he wondered if the boy could eat it all. But the waiter had nothing to do with it, he went back to the kitchen, soon he came back along with a co-worker to give their dishes, Julian looked at the mountain of burgers and showed a sign of concern, he didn''t want to take care of Yesh the whole day if he gets a stomach problem. But Julian''s concern was for nothing, he looked in shock as Yesh gulped down everyst bit of the burgers he ordered while Julian had just finished his steak. Julian "How are you able to eat so much?" He asked. Yesh "I don''t know, I am always hungry, this is a normal serving for me" Yesh said and got off his chair and walked out of the restaurant informing Julian that he will be heading to the park to train and will meet him tomorrow at the gym again. Julian didn''t say much and just looked at Yesh disappearing from his sight, he could tell that there is more to Yesh, he is very weird but intelligent, it doesn''t take long for him to learn things, he doesn''t like to talk much, he doesn''t seem to understand the concept of fun at all. What kid who is just 12 don''t know how to have fun unless they have a very troubled background and since Julian decided to take Yesh as his student he will have to find out Yesh''s problem and maybe he will be able to help him. Chapter 638 - Challenging Lenora After finishing his lunch Julian decided to visit the nearest forest area so he can train his pokemons for their uing battle against Lenora, he ns to use Drilbur and Roggenr for the battle, even though they are weaker than their partners, Darumaka and Karrast they still have some experience battling in the wild. And with both of them fighting all the time they have improved a lot. ?? Since Julian couldn''t stop their bickering he decided to put all their aggression in their training against each other to improve them, after Julian found himself a spot to train he released all his pokemons so they can y around. Except for Roggenr and Drilbur, they stood in front of Julian while they stared daggers at each other, Julian has figured out why they hate each other, being who they are and who are their parents, they also developed a rivalry against each other. Roggenr being the outcast of his family wandered out on his own picking fights against pokemons who are weaker than him and the three Drilburs were also his target, whenever he found one of them alone he would pick a fight with them and bully them. But now things are different, Roggenr is not an outcast nor is he the strongest and they are constantly under the eyes of monsters like Gengar and Infernape, Drilbur also started to learn how to fight back and was slowly catching up to Roggenr. Seeing this Roggenr also got very serious with his training, he didn''t want Drilbur to pass him, their hatred soon turned out into an intense rivalry, Julian was happy with this development but he still has to keep an eye on these two as they will start to fight each other whenever they get a chance. They were like siblings, fighting for every little thing, stealing each other''s food, making fun of each other, and pulling pranks on each other with the help of Crystal, Crystal being how it is, it never rejected fun and would always participate with them, it never took sides and soon both Roggenr and Drilbur started to ignore Crystal for double-crossing. Julian "Now both of you will be having your first official gym battle and I want both of you to concentrate more on your training and less on your bickering" Julian told them to focus on their training for now, even though they have only one day remaining he can still teach them a few tricks and if not maybe improve their current moves to perform better. Julian knew if he left these two alone they will start to go crazy again, soon he started their training, first, he made them do some physical workouts then concentrated on how to use their energy with the help of Victini. He could have asked Infernape but Infernape is a little intimidating to them so Victini who is small and cute works better. After they were done with the usual workout Julian made them battle Darumaka and Karrast and as everyone expected they got floored by them, Julian even forced them to team up against Darumaka and they did have a chance with their powersbined but they couldn''tmunicate with each other and Darumaka sent them crashing into trees by creating explosions and dancing happily afterward. Julian couldn''t do anything but sigh, by now he has already realized that Darumaka has no interest in battles at all, as long as he can explode anything he is happy. After getting beaten badly by Darumaka and Karrast both Roggenr and Drilbur lost their will to quarrel any more and fell asleep, Julian thinks they are ready for their battle tomorrow and it is not up to them on how they react to it. Julian is not worried about Roggenr much because he knows how confident the little rock is, Drilbur, on the other hand, is a little shy and cautious one, not to forward with other pokemons when he introduced him to his team. As the day came to an end he fed his pokemons and returned to his hotel room, tomorrow he has a big battle, Lenora might be a tough opponent for him this time because he will be using Roggenr and Drilbur and as it is their first time, he doesn''t expect them to give out a perfect performance. And from what he noticed during Lenora''s battle with Yesh, Julian knows she will use those chances she gets against him toe out on top. The next morning Julian woke up pretty early, did everything he needed to do then headed out to the nearest pokemon park so Roggenr and Drilbur can lighten up before they face Lenora and her pokemons, once they were done with it Julian wasted no time and headed straight towards the gym. Just like yesterday, Julian saw a trainer walking out of the gym disappointed, he guessed that this trainer got floored by Lenora during their battle, once he walked in Julian saw the same old man from yesterday but this time the old man bowed at him showing his respect. Julian also bowed back and walked past him and entered the battlefield, he saw that Lenora was already waiting for him in the battlefield with a broom in her hand, she is sweeping off the rubles from the previous battle. As soon as he walked in Lenora also noticed him and smiled while nodding at him, tossing away the broom in her hand she walked towards her position and took out a Pokeball and held it tightly in her hand. Lenora "I was waiting for you, as this is a low-level battle and I am kind of disappointed that I cannot use my most powerful pokemons to battle with you but I guess I would have no chance of winning against you if that was really the case" Lenora said andughed. Julian "I was also thinking the same, this will be an interesting battle as the pokemons I will be using are having their first official debuted" Lenora "Haha, I guess I am in luck, I get to defeat the mighty Julian" Julian "I wouldn''t say that if I were you" Lenora "We will only find out at the end of the battle". Chapter 639 - Julian Vs Lenora Julian took out his Pokeball and got ready to battle, as he looked around the battlefield he noticed Yesh was actually sitting on the viewer''s area waiting for them to start the battle. Julian turned and looked at Lenora once again, ready for his battle. ?? Lenora "I think I don''t have to tell you the rules, right? It is, after all, a 2 on 2 pokemon battle" Julian "It''s all right I have heard them too many times during all my visits to different gyms around different regions" Lenora "Ok then, let''s not waste any time, I will choose my pokemon first" She said and tossed out a Pokeball up in the air sending out her first pokemon, as the Pokeball opened a small bird came out pping its wings, it has a big head and big legs with sharp talons, its head and legs seem too big for this pokemon''s body. It is Rufflet, it started to fly around the battlefield while staring at Julian, waiting for him to send out his pokemons, looking at the Rufflet Julian knew Roggenr will be the better opponent and sent him out. As Roggenr came out he looked around and found his opponent in the sky, Roggenr got a little tense as it is his first time facing against a pokemon that can fly, he has no experience when ites to fighting flying type pokemons. Julian "Get ready, this is where you prove that you can grow strong" Julian told Roggenr to concentrated in the battle, Roggenr nodded and got ready. Lenora "Enough waiting, let the battle begin. Rufflet, use Aerial Ace" Her Rufflet didn''t waste any time and dove down towards Roggenr and appeared right in front of him tond a hit but Julian was ready for it. Julian "Use Harden" Roggenr used Harden and suddenly his outer body shone brightly and it increased his defense, he was already resistant to flying-type attack and now they did very little damage to him which didn''t even concern Julian. Rufflet went back up in the sky and looked at Roggenr in surprise, it used all its speed and power behind that attack and it was only able to push Roggenr back. Julian "Use Harden again"Roggenr did as Julian said and used Harden to increase his Defense again, Lenora knew what Julian is doing and became a little concerned, her Rufflet is a physical attacker. If Roggenr continues to increase his defense her Rufflet''s attack won''t even be able to put a scratch on him. Wasting no time Lenora made her move. Lenora "Use Air sh" Rufflet sted a lot of Air shes at Roggenr since Roggenr has very weak special defense Julian went on the defense and called out Protect. Roggenr created a forcefield in front of him which blocked the iing air des but it also gave Lenora the chance to attack. Lenora "Now, Crush w"Her Rufflet dove down with its ws aimed at Roggenr right behind its Air shes, as Roggenr continued to protect himself the Air shes started to ware the shield off. The Protect broke after thest Air sh hit and Rufflet went right through it and used Crush w on Roggenr, he got hit hard by it but he came out fine, since it was a normal type attack and with 2 times harden he was able to brush it off but the Crush w did something else to him. It managed to lower his defense by one stage, Crush w can lower a pokemon''s defense by a stage and it has a 50% sess rate, Julian didn''t expect this at all. Julian "That was a surprise but you came to close for your own good" He said and smiled and Lenora realized that Julian baited her into close-quarterbat but she cannot do anything now because Roggenr was already prepared. Julian "Use Smack Down" As Rufflet got closer to Roggenr he jumped up with his tiny feet and crashed straight into Rufflet''s back and brought it down crashing as its body was covered with rock type energy, as they crashed down it created cracks on the battlefield, smoke and dust rose up and blocked everyone''s vision. As the dust disappeared both pokemon could be seen again, Roggenr is doing fine but Rufflet is in a bad position, it got damaged by that Smack Down, having weak defense and weakness to rock type moves wasn''t good for it. Lenora "Rufflet, quickly back off" Rufflet listened to Lenora and tried to back off quickly but Julian didn''t want to let go, this was a serious battle, there is no way he would let Lenora escape from this. Julian "Roggenr, use Rock Tomb" Roggenr creased multiple rocks and sent it crashing at Rufflet who is trying to create distance between them but the rocks were too fast, they are now trying to bury Rufflet underneath them. Lenora "Use, Protect" Lenora also called out a Protect before the rocks could crush Rufflet, a protectiveyer appeared between Rufflet and the rocks, the rocks continued to press down and the Protect started to crack. Rufflet got luck as the rocks soon exploded but it also destroyed the Protect along with them leaving Rufflet vulnerable. Lenora "We can''t give up Rufflet, use Rest" Having no other option Lenora called out a risky move, hoping she can survive this, her Rufflet closed its eyes and fell asleep using Rest, soon its health and energy got restored in an instant but it is now asleep and it won''t be able to get up for a few seconds. Julian "You underestimate my Roggenr''s power" He said and made his move to finish this round, a sleeping target is something Roggenr cannot miss. Julian "Finish it, Stone Edge" Roggenr charged up his rock energy and mmed his little legs on the ground which causedrge blue glowing rocks toe ripping out of the ground straight towards the sleeping Rufflet. Lenora is shocked by seeing this, a Roggenr using Stone Edge is something out ofmonsense, they are not powerful enough to handle such power but this Roggenr did it. Even Julian was a little surprised when he found out that his Roggenr can use Stone Edge at such an early stage, he also knew that it is considerably weaker than a normal Stone Edge but it''s still ridiculous. The Stone Edge hit the sleeping Rufflet and sent it flying into the sky, it woke up from its sleep only to get knocked out after hitting the ground hard. Chapter 640 - Julian Vs Lenora (2) Roggenr got excited as he saw his opponent crashing on the ground and being knocked out, it means that he won his very first gym battle, he got excited and started to run around the battlefield happily, even though he is tired he didn''t care much about it. Julian smiled and sent Roggenr back to his Pokeball and looked at Lenora who is a little disappointed after her loss in the first round, she was just caught off-guard by that Stone Edge or her Rufflet could havested a little longer, she made a mistake calling Rest but she had no other options either. ?? Her Rufflet was already in a very bad condition. Julian "I think we should continue" He called her out from her thought process, Lenora looked at Julian and nodded her head and took out her next Pokeball and tossed it up in the air, as the Pokeball opened a small green deer came out of it, this pokemon is none other than a shiny Deerling as it has a pink flower on top of its head, right between its ears. Deerlings are very unique pokemons as they change the color of their fur depending on the season, pink during spring, green during summer, orange during autumn, and brown during winter. As it is the beginning of summer Deerlings will turn green just like this one. Julian looked at this Deerling and was impressed, it has a lot of potentials to grow into a very strong pokemon in the future, and with Lenora as its trainer, it won''t be long before it can stand its own against an elite level pokemon. Julian also took out another Pokeball and sent out his Drilbur to continue the battle, with both pokemons on the field they didn''t waste anything and went for the attack. Julian "Brick Break" Lenora "Jump Kick" With both of them calling out a move at the same time, their pokemons charged at each other using their move, Drilbur focused all his energy into his right w ready to sh at Deerling while Deerling jumped high in the air and pointed its hooves at Drilbur, as they came in contact it created a thunderous sound and both of them backed off after the impact. Deerling''s move had more power but physically Drilbur was stronger making it a draw. Julian "Dig" Julian didn''t want to waste time and went for Drilbur''s signature, Julian knows that Deerlings cannot use moves such as Earthquake and Magnitude so his Drilbur is safe until he is underground unless Lenora has some way to force him out which will be very hard. Lenora "Ger ready, as soon as you feel any movement near you use Seed Bomb" Hearing Lenora, Deerling got ready and started to collect a lot of energy in front of the flower on top of its head forming it into the shape of a seed. It waited for any movement it could feel from the ground, being a solid object it will create some vibrations when Drilbur is moving through it and a skillful pokemon might be able to sense these vibrations and pinpoint the location from where Drilbur mighte and not it is up to the Deerling to disy how good it really is a tracking an opponent that is underground. Julian "Drilbur let''s go" Drilbur could hear Julian''s voice and as soon as he heard themand he charged at Deerling by tearing through the ground at high speed, Deerling sensed from where Drilbur ising and shot the Seed Bomb at the ground. Julian "Stop" Before the Seed Bomb could hit the ground Drilbur stopped in his tracts and waited for the Seed Bomb to hit, once it did, it created a massive crater on the ground and nothing happened to Drilbur. Julian baited Lenora once again. Julian "Metal w" As the smoke from the Seed Bomb is stilling lingering on the ground, Drilbur made his move and shot out from the crater with his ws covered in metal energy, he swung his w at Deerling andnded a sessful hit, Deerling backed of injured, the Metal w did some damage but Deerling could still take the hit. Lenora "Deerling, use Leech Seed now" As Drilbur just got out from the ground he has not created enough distance between him and Deerling and Lenora made her move at the right time, her Deerling shot a seed at Drilbur which suddenly bloomed and lots of green vines came out of it and wrapped around Drilbur. Leach Seed is the type of move that slowly suck energy and health from the opponent and pass it to the user, as time passes Drilbur''s energy and health will be transferred to Deerling if Drilbur doesn''t take it out. Julian isn''t much worried about it and he is already nning a counter for Lenora. Julian "Use Fury Swipe" Drilbur moved forward and started to sh at Deerling furiously without giving it a chance to retaliate, being a four-legged pokemon it didn''t have move movement to make quick turns and dodge attacks from Drilbur. After getting sted with so many fury swipes it backed off weakly, badly hurt but the leech seed is still giving it some energy to continue. Julian "Now, use Dig" After sessfully pushing Deerling behind Drilbur dug into the ground for another attack, as Drilbur''s energy slowly got sucked away by the leech seed, after getting underground, he rushed out with a lot of energy behind his ws for one powerful attack. Lenora "Not this time, Deerling, use Protect" As Drilbur burst out of the ground Deerling used Protect and created a protective shield in front of it and stopped Drilbur''s attack, the Protect shattered by Deerling got enough time to move back. Lenora "Now use, Energy Ball" Deerling sted an Energy Ball as soon as possible trying to get the upper hand on Julian. Julian "Drilbur, use Iron Defense" Drilbur activated Iron Defense and took the Energy Ball head-on, he was pushed back and came out with a little injured from it. Julian "Finish this with Submission" Drilbur moved in and grabbed onto Deerling''s neck and wrapped his hands around it to used Submission, being pinned down on the ground Deerling has nowhere to go, it tried to kick with its leg and struggle out but it was of no use. The energy inside Drilbur bursts our pinning Deerling down harder, Lenora could just watch gritting her teeth, if her pokemon is not strong enough they cannot break through Submission. Too bad for her, her Deerling is not strong enough, it struggled until it couldn''t anymore and got knocked out, and with this Julian won his gym challenge. Chapter 641 - Leaving Nacrene City With that final move from Drilbur Julian won his second gym battle in Unova and as he expected Lenora was indeed a tough opponent as she was able tond some good hits on his Drilbur. If Julian was not alert during the battle his Drilbur could have been severely damaged and he could have lost the battle. ?? Julian also wondered why such a good gym leader is running a lower-tier gym, with Lenora''s skill and knowledge she could even challenge the Elite Four if she wanted to, she could get a huge raise from the league as well. But It is not Julian''s business to interfere in other people''s private life so he let this though die inside his mind, now that the battle is over Lenora just smiled and wiped off the sweat from her forehead. Thest-minute of the battle was really tense for her, too bad she lost and regretted it but she knew she was also battling the best there was ever was. She called her Deerling back to its Pokeball and let it rest for it as it did put on one hell of a battle against Julian''s Drilbur. She then walked towards Julian with the Basic Badge in her hand. Lenora "As the world says, you are the best, It''s an honor to present you this badge" She said and handed over the badge to Julian, Julian smiled and took the badge and put it in his badge case, he then looked at Lenora and took out a Pokeball and put it in front of Lenora, Lenora looked confused by this. He then released the Drilbur inside the Pokeball and showed it to Lenora, she looked at the Drilbur and realized that it is not the one Julian used in the battle. Julian "This Drilbur is a sibling of my Drilbur, I found them in the Wellspring cave. Since I cannot take care of them all I am trying to find suitable trainers for them, I hope you can take care of it and if you can''t maybe you will be able to find someone good" Hearing Julian Lenora started to think before finally nodding her head. Lenora "Don''t worry, I will find someone who is worthy of training this little one, I can see great potential in this one, till I find someone I will train it myself" She said happily. Hearing her answer Julian sighed in relief, he was d that this was finally taken care off, after leaving the Drilbur with Lenora Julian walked out of the gym and noticed Yesh standing outside waiting for him. Yesh "You were right"He suddenly said out of the blue. Julian "About what?" Yesh "About Lenora taking it easy on me, if she had battled me the way she did with you I would have lost" Julian "Even if she wanted to she wouldn''t, she is a gym leader, not a pokemon trainer battling to win, her job is to guide young trainers like you and sometimes they intentionally lose because they know the limit of a trainer and how stronger they can get in the future if they are pointed at the right direction" He said and patted Yesh''s head. Yesh "So where are we going?" He asked. Julian "Hmm, it''s obviously Castelia city, after Castelia we can have a choice so until then it is a straight path" He said and started to walk towards his hotel and Yesh followed right behind him. Julian "Why are you following me, go to your hotel and meet me at the exit of the city tomorrow morning" After listening to him Yesh nodded his head and walked away as Julian just watched, he sighed. Julian "What a weird kid" He shook his head and headed back to his hotel room and took some rest before doing other things like feeding his pokemon, taking them to the local pokemon center for their health check-up as they are still young. He then let them y around and fed them delicious street food because they won''t be able to eat them when they are on the road. After everything was done Julian went straight to his hotel room and fell asleep, tomorrow he has to leave this city and head towards Castelia city for his next gym battle, for now, he is ok with his team and is not in a hurry to catch any new one but if he encounters any special pokemon then he might catch it. Next morning Julian woke up early and did his morning routine, after checking out of the hotel he took out his bike and rode towards the exit to meet Yesh, it is still early in the morning but Julian didn''t have to wait at all because Yesh is already waiting for him. Julian stopped right in front of him and signaled him to hop on, Yesh has never traveled in a motorbike before so he carefully got up on the seat and held on tightly to the small handlebars on the side. Julian "Grab on tight as I will be sending it" Julian said and turned the elerator at max as the bike took off at extreme speed doing a wheelie and this is the first time Yesh showed some concern on his face, too bad Julian couldn''t see it because he is riding the bike. Chapter 642 - Yesh Taking Notes On their way to Castelia city they stopped to camp several times, the distance between Nacrene city and Castelia city is very long so it was not possible for Julian to get there quickly, and now that he has Yesh traveling with him he cannot ride like before where he cared less about his safety and more about getting to his destination. With another person by his side, things are different now, he also noticed that Yesh was a little frustrated whenever he got on the bike, he doesn''t seem to like when Julian is breaking the 100 km/h limit. ?? Other than that things are going very well between them, as Yesh promised he took care of most of the things during their stay on the road, he would put up tents, wash the dishes, and other things, Julian was only in charge of cooking. And when they were not doing those things Julian would train his pokemons and Yesh would just watch and take notes, this continued for several days, Yesh would sometimes study Infernape and Gengar when they are around because they are Julian''s strongest pokemons but he couldn''t understand anything after seeing them, he felt a strange mysterious power inside them that he couldn''t see in other pokemons. He tried to observe Snox as well but he couldn''t find anything, he sat down on one spot for hours just looking at Snox sleeping under a tree, the only movement that Yesh saw Snox do was munching on empty air or scratching his belly when Julian''s little pokemons used it''s as a trampoline. After hours of no result, Yesh gave up on Snox and continued with Infernape and Gengar but with no knowledge of what level they are in Yesh couldn''t find anything, knowing that it would be useless to continue to study them, Yesh changed his target to Julian''s Garchomp and Victini. They are from Julian''s Sinnoh team which are the youngest apart from Darumaka''s group. Since they were Champion level pokemon Yesh though he would have a much greater understanding of what the elites of Unova are really capable of. This also led to him wondering what level Julian''s Infernape and the rest really are in, they had a very different aurapared to Garchomp and Victini, they felt more dominant and superior to others. Julian didn''t bother telling Yesh about them as he knows Yesh wouldn''t understand why they are different from other pokemons, the concept of breaking through a certain limit in this world has never been known or explored, and on top of that Julian has never met anyone till now who has trained their pokemon to a level 100 which seems to be the limit. And breaking through this limit for a pokemon is near impossible unless they fully understand the origin of their power and what it is based off, Julian understood how Infernape and Gengar were able to reach the level but when it came to Snox even he was clueless. Julian wondered what Snox though while breaking through the limit and that too in deep sleep, the only thing Snox dreams of is about eating delicious food, he was even forced to think that Snox''s power is based on food but that would be the most stupid thing he could even think off and it will surely make him dumb. Julian had even asked the system for an answer but even the system was clueless about it, it even put Snox''s breakthrough at the anomaly folder, it is a folder the system has that it cannot exin and there are not many things that the system doesn''t know, the mystery of the universe, what does what, who is who, the system knows everything but it doesn''t know how Snox broke through. Seeing that even he didn''t know how breakthrough really works after seeing Snox, Julian knew he is not qualified to teach others about this. During their journey Yesh asked Julian many questions regarding pokemons and how to use certain moves during certain events, Julian answered a few of them and let Yesh figure it out himself, if Julian told him everything there would be nothing to learn for Yesh, it would just be like old school education where teachers force students to memorize everything in the book without any practical knowledge about it. After a few days, they finally reached Castelia city, after reaching the city both of them rented one room each for themselves in the same hotel, Julian told Yesh to do his own thing while Julian explores the city properly this time. Castelia city is very bigpared to other cities in Unova, being one of the mainmercial cities in Unova it holds a very important role in Unova''s economy. There are many massive corporations who want to open a branch here for the development of theirpany and Julian also has the same idea, even if he is busy traveling through different regions, he can also help hispany expand further. If he only relied on Jimi and Professor Oak for the expansion and development of hispany he would just be a useless boss who doesn''t do anything and just eats the profit for free, influence can only help to some extent, Julian sometimes needs to show himself in person to get things done. He has looked at the main leaders of Castelia city and found an interesting organization called the Battle Company, they are known for developing unique but effective devices for trainers and pokemons, they are also manufacturers of pokeballs. Julian ''I should meet them and see what we can offer to each other'' He thought and sat down on the couch and turned on the TV to watch the current happening in Unova. Chapter 643 - Weird Power Outage Julian prepared himself, ready to leave and explore the citypletely, he also has to visit the Battle Company to see how things work there and if he can make some kind of deal with them or not. When he walked out of his room he noticed that Yesh has already left as he couldn''t feel anything inside Yesh''s room. ?? Ignoring it Julian headed out of the hotel and went towards the center part of the city where most of the city''s attractions are present. He spent hours looking around the city and figuring out how it is like for the locals to live here, traveling all over the world to see different things was what Julian wants and he would not miss this at all. As he continues doing this he stopped in front of an ice cream parlor because Crystal started to bug him again, unless he gives ice cream to the little rascal it won''t stop cause trouble. Hw walked into the parlor and brought out his young Unova team so all of them can enjoy ice cream, the older ones are not too keen on it except Victini as it loves eating as much as Crystal. He took a seat and let his pokemons settle down, all of them are excited smelling the sweet scent that ising from behind the counter. A young girl soon walked towards them and handed over a small menu to chose their vor, since this is a small parlor it didn''t have any fancy vors in their menu but ice cream is still ice cream, it didn''t matter to Julian, he bought a bunch of different vors depending on his pokemon''s taste. The young girl smiled as she saw how excited the little pokemons are right now, she went back to the counter to prepare everything that Julian ordered, after a few minutes she was followed by another parlor worker with a lot of cups and sses filled with Ice cream, they ced them all on the table and went back to the counter. Julian also started to eat his own when suddenly the lights inside the Ice Cream shop when off, Julian was surprised and looked outside to see if it was only the Ice Cream parlor who is suffering from a power outage, but it was not the case. It looks like the whole area is out of power. "Oh no, the power went away again, if it doesn''te back in time all the Ice Cream will be ruined" The young girl who handed ice creams to Julian said in a worried voice. Julian "Excuse me, does the power go often here?" He asked as it is very rare for any district in this massive city like Castelia to have a power outage. "It''s not only our district, but the whole city is also having this problem, for some reason, there have been frequent power cuts in the city, even the governor of the city doesn''t know the reason behind these power cuts" She said exining the situation to Julian. Hearing this Julian frowned, why would there be power outage is Castelia city, being one of the biggest cities in Unova it consumes a lot of electricity and is also an electronic hub, there should be no reason for the whole city to suffer a power outage unless there is something going on behind the scene. Julian put the though behind his mind and continued to eat the ice cream with his pokemons, only a few minutes passed and the power came back and every appliance started to run again. "Thank god" The young girl sighed in relief and checked on the ice creams that were inside the freezer to see if they have been affected or nor. Julian had his pokemons finished their ice creams and decided to leave, Julian paid for it and sent all him pokemons back to their Pokeball, Crystal went back to his pocket and fell asleep after eating a lot. Now that the little trouble maker is silent Julian could do what he is here for, he then headed towards the Battle Company, he soon found himself in front of a very massive skyscraper, this is the main headquarters of Battle Company, Julian looked around and noticed that many people walked in and out of this massive tower. Some looked like employees while others were just travelers and visitors, Julian knows that Battle Company allows outsiders to visit theirpany and see how things work around here but they only have ess to few floors, the rest are all guarded. Battle Company also has a weird policy, they only hire employees who love to pokemon battle, if they don''t like to battle pokemon, no matter how big of a genius they are in that field they will not get the job. All employees who work here always battle each other and visitors before they start to work. When they take a break they battle. When they are about to leave for their home they battle, it is a weirdpany and that is why Julian is interested to see what really happens here. Chapter 644 - Just Like Battle Tower Julian walked inside the massive building and saw many people interacting with each other, most of them were employees talking about work and office rumors. Julian didn''t bother with these people and continued moving forward and joined a group which seems to be going around thepany while being introduced to several facilities by a worker, the worker exined everything they saw in detail which impressed the crowd a lot. ?? As they moved to the next flood they saw two workers battling each other and having fun, one could clearly tell that they were enjoying it and so did their pokemons. "Excuse me, why does thepany only allow people who love pokemon battle to join and not the general public?" One person in the crowd asked. Worker/Guide "Our president believes that everything can be achieved through a pokemon battle, everything that the battlepany makes is actually based on the studies and readings of pokemon battle, the workers here daily go through pokemon battles ande up with specific ideas that can help a pokemon or trainer improve. If this idea of the worker is practical it goes through some testing process before that product is made and marketed" The Worker gave a clear exnation to which the crowd just nodded their head, fascinated by the methods, and it was indeed unique. Now manypanies out there do what the Battle Company does, even Julian was impressed, even if he didn''t agree with what the President of the Battle Company thinks, it doesn''t matter, everybody is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. The tour continued and the worker finally brought them back to the ground floor where all the visitors'' rest and entertain themselves, there are multiple food stalls, tables, and TVs for public entertainment. After the tour, Julian realized that the visitors are only able to ess three floors, beyond that is where the real work takes ce, where all the research happens. Being such a massivepany that the Battle Company is, Julian wondered what kind of research really does happen here, it is clear that this skyscraper has 55 floors and the visitors can only ess the first three floors. He left the group and walked towards the worker who was guiding them. Julian "Hey, what''s your name again?'' Julian asked. "Sir, my name is Shin" Julian "Shin, thank you for that tour" Shin "You are wee" Julian "By the way, can I visit other floors in the building?" He asked. Shin "Well for normal visitors it is limited to only three floors but if you are a pokemon trainer, you can battle with the workers on the particr floor to advance forward, the higher the floor, the stronger the workers are" Shin exined to him what to do if he wants to move forward, listening to Shin Julian realized that this Battle Company was just like a battle tower but here, there is actual work being done. Julian "Thank you, Shin" Julian thanked him and made his way towards the 4th''s floor, he actually wants to test his Unova team''s limit and how far they can go. He soon arrived in front of the fourth-floor entrance, there seems to be nothing special about it except few workers chatting about something outside the entrance, when they noticed Julian walking towards them, they got excited. "Are you a trainer, battle me and you will be able to see what goes inside this facility" One of the workers said excitedly, Julian didn''t say much and just nodded his head, the other worker also stepped in and decided to be the referee. Worker/Referee "This will be a one on one pokemon battle, if the trainer wins he will be able to ess the fourth floor and if he looses he will return back to where he came from" With this being a one one one match, Julian didn''t bother much thinking about who to use, he just sent out Darumaka as his first pokemon, Darumaka came out excited sting fire everywhere, even the workers had to back off a little. The worker who challenged Julian also sent out his pokemon, a Timburr. Julian carefully looked at this pokemon, this is the first time he has seen on in real life, he also looked at the thick lumber it is carrying with its left arm with the support of its waist. Seeing this Julian knew that this one is not that strong, he knows that the easier a Timburr can handle its lumber the stronger it is and once it reaches a level where it can handle the lumber effortlessly it is closer to evolve into a Gurdurr. Julian knew this will be over in one shot so he let the worker make the first move. Worker "Use Bulk Up then Brick Break" His Timburr did as he said and charged at Darumaka swinging its lumber at him with its full power. Julian "Use me Wheel" Darumaka shot out hot mes from his mouth and started to roll, his body got covered with mes and he charged at the Timburr, the Timburr tried to hit Darumaka but he is too fast for it, he easily went right through Timburr''s defense and crashed into it. Sending the Timburr flying and right into its trainer''s arms,pletely knocked out, seeing this every worker around the area was surprised a little but it was not their first time meeting with a strong trainer, but it is indeed quite rare. Chapter 645 - Going Through The Floors Seeing how easily one of them was defeated by this young man in ck they knew it was no use to hold him back any further, he could easily clearly levels above them with ease. They didn''t say much and just opened the door to let Julian in, Julian sent Darumaka back to his Pokeball and walked into the 4th floor and what he saw inside was a little interesting, this floor was dedicated to making normal pokeballs, he saw many unfinished Pokeball passing through different types of machines. ?? The whole floor was surrounded by the sound of conveyor belts moving the pokeballs around, Julian also saw some trainer looking around, he had expected to see few of them as the 4th level was not that hard to beat. Julian looked around for a while on how pokeballs are made and became impressed, the technology was very advance, if Julian had learned about how it worked then maybe he could understand it but with no knowledge on how this process takes ce, he was just like any other trainer in the room who are fascinated by the process. These small balls are the same devices that people use to store their pokemons, no matter how big a pokemon is they can easily fit inside and the living condition inside these pokeballs also seem to favor the pokemon a lot. Just going inside a Pokeball and resting a little will allow them to recover all their lost every from their activities. After looking around for a while Julian decided to move forward, he didn''t understand the advanced process of how the concept of space worked inside these pokeballs but it was still something new and interesting to him. Leaving the 4th floor Julian arrived at the entrance of the 5th, just like before there are workers chatting and taking a break, Julian noticed that the workers around here follow a routine, some of them work while others don''t, they take turns doing the same thing, while one rest the other work and vice versa. The workers outside the 5th-floor entrance noticed Julian, they quickly discussed among themselves and sent one of them to represent them, they sent a middle-aged woman with sses wearing a white coat. "If you want to enter you have to defeat me" The woman said and stood before Julian, Julian nodded his head and sent out Roggenr to battle her, seeing Julian''s Roggenr the woman smiled and tossed her Pokeball up in the air revealing her pokemon, a Sewaddle. Just like before this is the first time Julian has seen a Sewaddle in real life, he knows its a bug/grass type but he isn''t worried much, but these pokemons are known for their thought defense at their level. Julian "Roggenr, use Tackle" Listening to Julian his Roggenr charged at Sewaddle and bashed into it, the Sewaddle is not a fast pokemon so it couldn''t dodge the tackle from Roggenr, and on top of that, the tackle caused a lot of damage. Julian overestimated the Sewaddle defense, they are known for their defense but sometimes there are special once that are not so good with one of their defense and focus their energy on attacks or speed. Worker "Sewaddle, use String Shot then Bug Bite" Sewaddle shot a line of silk at Roggenr which wrapped him up and pinned him to the ground, Sewaddle then moved towards Roggenr trying to use Bug Bite but Roggenr used Harden and protected himself. Julian "Now use Rock st" After sessfully defending himself Roggenr shot multiple rocks at Sewaddle and that was the end of it, another easy victory for Julian. He now has ess to the 5th floor, once he walked in he saw that there were making trainer gears such as GPS bands and other products that will help trainers to navigate around the world. These devices were very important to trainers as they travel around the region and sometimes they can get lost, these things are a lifesaver to them, and if theye across a natural disaster or casualty, these devices are also known to send distress signals to the nearest police station for help. Seeing this Julian knew that Battle Company has a lot of influence in the pokemon market, from trainer gadgets to Pokeballs, they made everything. After looking around the floor he decided to move forward to the 6th, floor and the same event took ce, he was challenged by a worker before he could go any further, he used Karrast and dealt with the worker quickly, 6th floor was also assigned with building trainer gadgets. He then moved to seventh where he used Drilbur and defeated his opponent, 7th floor actually made electronic chips that are used in almost every electronic gadgets from phone to tv. Battle Company was indeed a massive corporation, even though they only have one branch here in Unova they are pretty huge and they make a lot of these chips and supply them around the world. Julian continued his streak forward by winning every battle but soon it had to end, when he reached 20th floor his pokemons could no longer win the battle very easily, their opponents were twice as strong as them, and sometimes even stronger but with Julian behind them they somehow pulled off a victory. After defeating the workers on the 20th floor, Julian entered and saw pokeballs being made here but these were not normal pokeballs, these were pokeballs like a dusk ball, quick ball,ball, nest ball, etc. Julian knew these balls are special and they help in catching pokemons depending on their ability, like Quick ball, if the pokemon is caught by this ball by surprise at the beginning before the pokemon can even notice the trainer, the capture rate is exceptionally high. All these balls have different abilities and there was a lot of information rted to them that Julian didn''t understand, he could figure out the basics just by listening to it once but to fully understand it, he has to go through all the files. After he was done with the 20th floor Julian knew it will be hard for him to advance any further, his pokemons are tired and they will not be able to battle the pokemons who are beyond this level as they are stronger and faster. No matter how good Julian is when ites tomanding his pokemons in battle, he cannot magically make his pokemons take down opponents who are overwhelmingly higher level than his pokemons. Chapter 646 - Janitor Since he could no longer use his Unova pokemon he has to cheat by going with Victini and Garchomp and with their level it would be just like a breeze. Passing through the hallway and up the staircase he reached the 21st floor ready to battle any worker that challenges him but to his surprise, there was no one here, except a janitor who is currently moping the floor. ?? Julian looked around if there is anything that would allow him entry to upper floors but he couldn''t it was just a long empty hallway with no doors, only windows on the side that let him see the city. Julian walked towards the Janitor expectation some answers as he is the only one present here, as Julian walked towards the Janitor, the Janitor lifted his head and looked at Julian carefully. This Janitor is an old man who seems to be in his 60s, when he saw Julian walk towards him he put his mop on the side and stared at Julian. Julian "Excuse me, sir, do you know how to get through this floor?" He asked. Janitor "Of course, but you have to wait for a little as I am moping the floor, the workers are locked inside" The Janitor said, listening to him Julian sighed, he didn''t want to stay on the same floor with a stranger because he felt awkward. Janitor "There is one more way you can go through this floor but you will directly be sent to the 55th floor" The Janitor said and smiled. Julian "How?" Julian asked curiously. Janitor "By defeating me, of course" The Janitor said and took out a Pokeball from his back pocket and showed it to Julian. Julian "This is unexpected" He said surprised. Janitor "What? Can''t an old man have a pokemon battle?" He asked. Julian "No, not that, why would a janitor put his work to the side just to battle a random stranger, and defeating you will grant me ess to the 55th floor, even a little kid will think this is unusual" Julian said shaking his head. Janitor "Anyways, are you ready to battle or not, you should use your strongest pokemon or you will lose" The Janitor said and sent out his pokemon, a Klinng, Julian is surprised by seeing this, not because of the pokemon itself but its level, it was clearly an elite level pokemon, Julian then started to wonder what is the identity of this old man was. Could this man be someone influential or just a powerful janitor, Julian didn''t want to differentiate so he killed the thought and sent out his pokemon, Victini. Julian wanted to get this done in one go and it was better to use Victini. The Janitor became serious as he saw the Victini, he knows about Victini, it is one of the mythical pokemons native to Unova, many ces in Unova is filled with legends regarding Victini and its power, this is also his first time seeing one in real life. Janitor "Klinng, use Gear Up then Gear Grind" His Klinng used Gear Up and increased its attack and special attack, then charged at Victini using Gear Grind, Gear Grind is a power attack that hits twice, each hit is power and can cause serious damage. But it was all for nothing. Julian "Use V-create" Listening to Julian, Victini started to collect massive amount of firepower on its forehead which caused its forehead and ears to glow brightly and a massive V made of scratching mes appeared in thin air and started to descent on the Klinng, seeing this attacking towards it the Klinng panicked but it has nowhere to run. The V-create engulfed the Klinng and disappeared, as the smoke cleared Klinng could be seen on the ground fainted with smoke rising from its body. The Janitor was shocked and froze on the spot, the battle ended as soon as it began and with one hit. Julian "Looks like I won" Julian said tly to the Janitor, the Janitor took his time to process it before finally sighing. Janitor "You really are strong, just like in the TV, I thought I will behold on for a little bit, guess I was wrong" The Janitor said. Julian "So you know me?" Janitor "Of course I know you, after your challenge to the whole world, every big shot in Unova is keeping an eye on you, I am one of them and lucky me, you came walking right into mypany" The Janitor said. Julian "So this is your Company" Julian emphasized. Janitor "Yes, let me introduce myself, I am the president of the Battle Company, William Bendover. Nice to meet you Mr. Julian, how about we go to my office" William said. Julian "Sure, Mr. Bendover" William then guided Julian to a wall that suddenly slid open revealing an elevator, William scanned his key card on the scanner and the door opened, William gestured Julian to walk in and followed him. William "Only members of thepany can ess this elevator so it cannot be seen by the normal public" Julian "I see, I noticed that the way yourpany works is quite different, can I know the reason?" William "What can I say, I am just a huge fan of pokemon battle, I have never missed even one league from the day I was introduced to the miraculous world of pokemon battle, let''s go to my office and I will tell you everything about it" William said andughed and for some reason, Julian felt that he has made the biggest mistake of his life by asking this old man this question. Chapter 647 - Something Fishy The president of Battle Company, William, talked to Julian about his interest in pokemon battles and how he wanted to be the strongest trainer but he didn''t have the skill and talent to continue further this path. So he decided to create thispany and help trainers who are capable of achieving such feet and making their journey a little easier. ?? As they were about to reach the 55th floor the elevator suddenly jerked and stopped, the main lights went away and the backup lights turned on. William "Shit, another power outage, something is definitely going on in the city" William cursed. Julian, on the other hand, felt relieved as the power went out or he would have had to listen to William taking for hours. Julian quickly decided to pin the current topic so that William won''t go back to his useless talking. Julian "Does this happen every time?" He asked. William "The power cuts? No, this started to happen recently, a power outage has never urred in Castelia city for over 50 years, how could it suddenly happen now, something is definitely fishy" William said frowning. Julian "Why do you think so, maybe something might have happened to the power generator" He said. William "No, that is not possible, the governor improved the power generator to a better one a year ago, it was working very good, there is no way it should stop working, and the governor also seems to be hiding something, not telling the public the real reason behind these outages" William said. Julian "Maybe it is regarding the safety of the city and its citizens, sometimes it better to hide things even if it causes distress" Julian said. He knows how harsh public opinions can be, sometimes they are right sometimes they are wrong, that is why Julian never believes anything until and unless there are facts and proof rted to the subject. As Julian and William discussed about the power outage the elevator started to move again, not from the main output but from the backup, massivepanies like this have backup generators that will run for a few hours before finally dying. Soon they reached William''s office and took their seat, first they talked about normal stuff then discussed business, since they have such bigpanies it was wise to invest in each other, after talking for quite a long time Julian and William finally came to an agreement. The rest will be handled by Jimi and other members of his corporation. Now that this was done, William decided to give Julian a tour around the other floors in thepany, Julian missed quite a lot of floor as William brought him directly to the top. Julian agreed to William''s offer and went with him, William then showed Julian everything that is made in hispany, from GPS devices to pokeballs to special training devices that helps a pokemon and trainer learn and coordinate better. Julian also saw the making of Great Balls and Ultra Balls, these balls are made in the top floors of the building where the security is very high and even the workers working here are powerful pokemon trainers, no one would dare to try and rob them. It would be suicidal, seeing this Julian was impressed, this was indeed a unique way to protect their tech, even if an elite four member came to rob them they would still get sted by these trainers who work here, an elite four can maybe take on five to six of them but the workers who work here are above hundred. Even Julian would have a tough time bringing them all down with Garchomp and Victini unless they go full berserk and release one more after the otherpletely destroying thepany along with all the worker''s things would no be easy. As Julian looked at a machine which was throwing out finished Ultra Balls it suddenly stopped and every light in the floor went nk, the floor became very dark and the workers had to use torches from their phones to light it up. William "Shit the backup power must have been drainedpletely" William crushed again. William "If this continues we will suffer a massive loss" Worried about the future of thepany William is a little panicked, Julian also frowned,st time he witnessed this the power outage was not for this long, it has already been an hour and the power is not back. If this continues the people might be a little frisky and riots may ur as their daily lives have beenpromised, today''s world is so dependent on electricity that a person born and raised up in a city will not be able to survive on their own in a jungle, everything they used needed electricity. Trainers were a little ok with this because they spend most of the time outdoors but the ones who live in the city and work daily from their houses and office are the ones who will suffer the most. Julian decided that he should look into this matter, if it is natural he will let it be and if something is really fishy he has to get involved, he has already met Team sma and Team Rocket is also up to no good. Julian might ignore Team Rocket but Team sma felt a little off to him so he has been keeping a close eye on them, his little faction is already up to the task to collect all the information that Julian needs. Chapter 648 - Trouble Without Intending Now that Julian is done here, he decided to leave the Battle Company and train his pokemons for their uing gym challenge, the gym here in Castelia city is a bug type gym, Julian wondered which pokemons he should use. He used Roggenr and Drilbur in his previous challenge so Darumaka and Karrast make sense, while Darumaka has an advantage over bug type and Karrast is a bug type as well, it would be very easy for Julian to clear this challenge. ?? On the other hand, Roggenr and Drilbur had an advantage over them as well, since Julian already used them in previous gym battle at Nacrene city he didn''t want to use them in this battle. Julian didn''t like using the same pokemons he used previously, after thinking a lot he decided to go with Darumaka and Karrast and finish his third challenge quickly. As it is one of the starter gyms for the trainers it didn''t hold much significance to Julian, they are important for young trainers who are just starting but to trainers like Julian they don''t matter much. Leaving the battlepany Julian headed out to the city and saw that the city is still out of power, people are now just looking at their phones or talking to their pokemon, little work is being done. Julian also noticed that some people are used to this as they treated it as another regr thing in their life, he also heard some angry people cursing the governor for not fixing the problem. Julian also started to wonder what could cause such a big city to suffer from these frequent power outage, knowing he has to find out, he decided to head towards the nearest transformer to see if it is working properly, he soon found one and noticed that it is working fine but there is no electricity present. Since he is not an electrician he cannot do a full examination, he has to find some alternative method to figure it out, looking into his phone he found the closest electrician shop near him, once he got there he noticed the electrician sitting on a chair with an Ampharos by his side sipping on tea. Julian "Excuse me?" Julian called him, the electrician turned and looked at Julian who has his face covered. "What is it?" He asked. Julian "Do you know why there have been recent power cuts?" He asked. "I don''t know, the mayor is definitely covering up something, when we election decided to volunteer and look into this situation the mayor denied it, he even ced guards near the ntation and is not letting anyone go inside and check it out" The electrition said. Julian "Thank you" Julian thanked him and decided to go and see this ntation for himself, maybe he can sneak in without being noticed, and even if he did, he can use his influence and call up a favor from the league. He looked at the map and noticed that the ntation is actually outside the city, near the Castelia city''s sewers, this was not a huge deal as many ntations are kept away from civilization. Julian quickly got on his bike and rode towards the Castelia city''s sewers to figure out what really is happening, when he arrived in front of the ntation he saw many guards walking around with actual guns in their hand, they also had Growlithes patrol with them around the area to find any intruders. Julian thought of sneaking in into the ntation and see what is happening but he was also curious about why would there be so much security near the ntation. Seeing the guards Julian could tell they will be aggressive as soon as they spot him. Julian "Gengar, you are up, make a way for me" As soon as Julian said this Gengar got excited and got out of his shadow and looked around to see so many targets for him to y with. Julian "Don''t hurt them, just cause a distraction till I can sneak in" Gengar giggled and nodded his head, he is already thinking of ways on how to mess with these guards, since Julian has told no lethal actions he has to control himself. Julian just stood far away and watched as Gengar did his thing. Gengar blended into the shadow and slowly approached the guards that were guarding the main gate, he has to get rid of these ones first because this main gate seems to be the only way to get inside. Gengar circled around them trying to figure out what to do, with Julian''s limitation on him he couldn''t think of much but normal pranks. "Dude it''s getting chilly out here" One of the guards suddenly said as he rubbed the back of his neck, he felt as if something cold just graced him. "Ya you are right, it has suddenly be very cold" The other guard said as well putting his gun to the side and rubbing his hands to generate some heat but it was of no effect, the surrounding temperature started to colder and colder. "Dude this is freaking me out, call someone" One of the guards said and called for someone from his radio transceiver. "Someonee quick, we are freezing out here, please quick" The guard started to panic as the temperature got so cold that ice started to form around the water bottle they were carrying. While all this happened Gengar didn''t notice this at all, he was busy thinking of ways to get these men out of here, he didn''t even realize that just his presence in the air is freezing them. Soon some guards came running as they heard how panicked their colleague was, when they got there they saw two men covered in ice,pletely frozen on the spot. "Guys, what happened?" One of them shouted and ran towards them which also woke Gengar from his thought process, he lifted his head and looked around to see two men havepletely frozen on the spot. Gengar realized that he fucked up and looked at Julian''s direction, he saw Julian shaking his head and face-palming himself. Julian knew Gengar does some stupid shit which causes a lot of trouble but now he is causing trouble without even intending it. But he still got the work done, with this stupid mistake of him all the guards present near the ntation rushed out to check on their colleague, Julian saw this chance and moved and jumped right over the 6-meter wall surrounding the ntation. Seeing that Julian has made through the wall Gengar also left the area which caused the temperature to go back to normal and the two men slowly started to unfreeze. Chapter 649 - Stealing Electricity As Gengar left the area the temperature around them slowly started to go down and the two frozen guards started to move again, their hearts started to beat faster and the blood in their body started to move again. They got up their asses and looked at each other gritting their teeth from the sheer cold. ? ? "Hey what happened here, why where you both frozen?" One of them who came after hearing their call asked worried and staying alert as well, they didn''t want to end up like them as well. "Don''t know, the temperature around us suddenly started to drop and I could feel my blood being frozen on the spot, it was one of the craziest things I have experienced ever in my life, I am going home, I don''t want to stay here any longer" One of the ex-frozen guards said and got to his feet and started to walk away. "Wait I will join you as well" The other one who was frozen said and joined hisrade as well, they didn''t want to stay here anymore. "Hey what about the job, you will get fired" The ones who came to their rescue said. "I don''t care, I would rather get fired then stay here any longer" The ex-frozen guard said and ran away scared that they might get frozen again, the ones remaining in the area showed a concerned look on their face, they didn''t know what actually happened but they clearly saw theirrades had been frozen on the spot and suddenly unfroze after they arrived. ____________________ Julian found a back door to the power nt and entered, just like any other power nt this one is filled with wires and generators going around the area, he walked around to see if there is anything unusual. He found nothing around the power nt, his only option is to go to the main generator that is in the middle and check it out properly, as he was making his way towards the central room of the power nt he heard footsteps heading his way. He guessed that these must be the guards that left their post after the warning signal from the guards that were frozen by Gengar. Julian moved to the side and hid behind a generator and watched as few guards with guns walked in and they all seem to be on edge after what happened outside. Julian "Gengar, knock them out" Hearing Julian Gengar floated towards them while being invisible and smacked their head one after the other knocking them out cold, he then entered the main generator room and noticed something unusual, some of the cords that connected to them were actually going underground. This made Julian realized that something was really fishy around here, he walked towards the wire that was going underground through a manhole and looked down, he noticed that it is actually a sewage passage down below. Julian "Doesn''t this lead to the Castelia city''s sewers?" He questioned, he knew something is off and decided to check it out, he then directly jumped down into the sewage passage, this part was not bad because it was actually dry, there is no wet waste here that irritated him but Julian knew it would get worst as he moves forward. He used his Omniforce to surround himself and block any unpleasant smell to get into his nose, he looked around carefully and noticed the wires were nailed into the roof of the sewage and were going deeper inside the no-mannd as no one would be able to survive in such situation. Julian didn''t like how he started to get more involved in matters that were not rted to him but for the public benefit, he actually liked helping people in need so he could only me himself for jumping into every problem he faces. He sighed and walked deeper into the sewer by following the wire that was connected to the main generator, he could tell that someone is stealing electricity and this is being hidden to the general public. He soon found himself in front of a steel gate that shouldn''t be inside a sewer, a thick metal doors like this would be used in secretbs or facilities that is trying to protect a secret. Julian "What the fuck is going on here, why is there a metal door right in the sewers, what are they doing inside?" Julian asked to himself, he also wondered why the league hasn''t done anything yet, the amount of power outage that has been happening in Castelia city, the league can easily find out about it, if they knew something is wrong they will step in. And if they didn''t something is holding them back. Julian "Gengar, check out what is happening inside" Hearing Julian Gengar passed through the thick metal door and entered the other side, Julian shared his vision and was surprised by what he saw inside, he saw a young man with blond and blue hair wearing a white coat which seems to have some kind of machine attacked to it. This man is standing in front of a massive supeputer and running data which is connected to a massive machine that is generating a lot of energy, energy so powerful that it can destroy the whole city if it leaks out. Julian frowned as he saw this, he didn''t know what this young man is up to but what he is doing seems very dangerous. Chapter 650 - Colress Julian didn''t understand what was going on inside but he has to stop it, this much about of energy should not be collected in one ce and just under one person. Who knows what kind of guy this is and how will he use it. ?? Julian let Gengar observe the area and noticed something that surprised him as well, on a screen he could see his own image with Infernape and some of his pokemons, it looked like this man is doing some kind of analysis on his pokemons. Julian "Why is this person doing research on my pokemons, something is not right, should I confront him?" Julian asked himself. Julian ''No what if he triggers something dangerous, I need to be prepared before confronting him'' He thought and tapped his pocket, as he did so, a little head popped out while rubbing its big eyes and looked at Julian. Julian "Crystal, its time to move" Hearing him Crystal floated out of his pocket and looked around, it noticed that it is in the sewers and closed its nose with its tiny fingers. Julian "Change into Ghost-type and keep an eye on the person inside, if he does anything freeze him and don''t get noticed" Hearing his Crystal changed its typing into Ghost and went right through the metal door while keeping its invisibility in check. When it got past the door, it met with a grinning Gengar which surprised it and it revealed a small squeak which alerted the person inside the room, he turned around and looked at the direction of the door but he found nothing. He turned back to hisputer and continued doing what he was up to. Julian sighed on the other side of the door and continued to observe the scene inside, he noticed Crystal is already hovering over the man''s head and looking at the big screen curiously, Julian just hoped it doesn''t do anything stupid and stays still. He also had to figure out how to get inside, he could be explosive and just barge in, since Crystal is on the watch it will stop the man inside if he tries to do anything stupid. Or.....Julian had no other option, breaking through such a massive door will not be quiet and there doesn''t seem to be any other entrances that will lead him inside. It is better to stop this man before he does anything stupid and he will also be able to help the people of the city with their power outage situation Julian "Gengar destroy the wall" As soon as Julian gave the order he could feel the metal door turning very cold, even the surrounding wall around it went cold as well, then a crack appeared on it and it started into pieces. This caused an rm to go off, the man inside got shocked and quickly turned around to see the metal door has shattered, the man backed off and tried to press a button on the switchboard but he suddenly felt his hand being held on the spot. He tried to move but realized that he couldn''t, not even a single part of his body is able to move except his eyes and mouth. The man panicked, he didn''t know who it was but with the ability to hold him like this was not something he can handle. Soon the man saw the culprit behind this incident, a man in ck wearing a ck mask over his face. "You, who are you?" The young man asked as he saw the man in ck. Julian "I should be the one asking the question, who are you and why are you stealing electricity from the city?" Julian asked and walked near the captured man, too out a chair from his pouch and sat down, the man looked at Julian, he knew he had to talk or things could go bad. "My name is Colress" He said. Julian "And?" Colress "I was trying to find a way to bring out more power from pokemons as they hold far greater potential than they disy" He said. Hearing this Julian looked at the images on him and his pokemons on the screen. Julian "Why him then?" Julian said and pointed at his own photo. Colress "He seems to be the only person capable of bringing out his pokemons true potential, his pokemons are way strongerpared to their species" Colress said. Colress is an intelligent man, he knows what to do and what not to do in these kinds of situations if hemunicate properly his chances of escaping from here is higher than if he resists, even though it is not guaranteed he has to try. Julian didn''t know what Colress is thinking but he doesn''t care, until he gets any information from this Colress then it is ok. Julian "How are you able to steal so much electricity without being taken down by the league?" Colress "Probably a hostage situation, it is most likely that some important person is being taken, hostage" He answered. Julian "Who were taken hostage and by whom?" Colress "Who? I don''t know, but the ones who took the hostage is Team sma" Julian "So you work for Team sma?" Colress "Yes, I am their lead scientist" Julian "What is Team sma after?" Colress "Liberating pokemons from their trainers, well that is what everyone has been told, but I really don''t believe it" He said. Julian "Hmm, then why are you working for them, I thought people like you were loyal to the end to these organizations" Colress "I am only with them because they pay for my research, since my work is a little hical to the public''s eye I am not funded by the government, scientists like me can only rely on these type of organizations" He said. Julian nodded his head understanding what Colress is saying, he could tell that Colress is not a bad person but he is not someone that could be trusted either. Chapter 651 - Problem Dealt Julian "You seem like a man who doesn''t want to much trouble in your life, correct?" Colress "Indeed, as little as possible" ?? Julian "Good then stop doing what you are doing here, tell Team sma that your work is a failure and return the person who has been taken hostage, also fix the power outage problem in the city" Julian gave him a set of tasks that needs to be fulfilled right now. Colress knew he has to do it in front of the man in ck if he wants to get out from here, he could feel his arms loosen all of a sudden, he is not able to move them, he takes out a phone and calls someone. Colress "Yes, it''s me, the process has failed, I will be leaving their, it''s better to return whoever has been kidnapped or the league will be more aggressive...OK, done" Colress ended the call and looked at Julian. Colress "Done" Julian "Good, and what about that huge ball of energy there?" Julian asked pointing at the pulsing energy that was created by Colress. Colress "This is an energy source, Team sma asked me to build it" Julian "For what?" Colress "I don''t know, they said they will inform me when I am done finishing it" Julian "How to get rid of it?" Colress "The energy has to run out itself, interfering with it will create an explosion that could bring down the city" Julian "How long will it take?" Colress "A year or two" Julian "Too much time, Gengar put it away" As Julian said this, Gengar appeared in front of the energy source, Colress saw the Gengar and realized that he has seen it somewhere, the next thing he saw is that the Gengar suddenly created a portal-like thing and engulfed the whole energy source in one go. Within a second the energy source which he had worked for months disappeared, but he did confirm one thing, the man in ck''s identity. The Gengar exactly matched the description of the person he is studying for months now so he cannot make a mistake when ites to this. Colress "You are Julian" Julian "You are smart, so you should know that getting involved with Team sma can be your downfall but if you still want to continue working for them I don''t mind, just stay away from my path and you will be fine" Julian gave him a final warning and got up from his chair and put it back in his pouch, Colress is notpletely free, he headed to the mainputer and shut it down along with all the devices that were connected to it, it stopped pulling any kind of power. As soon as this was done the power returned to Castelia city, Julian''s work is done here, he turned around and left with Crystal and Gengar as Colress just watched. He knew he did the right thing by not making this hard on both him and Julian. Since he is not loyal to Team sma he has no intention to get hurt for them, he also left their right away not wanting to stay here anymore. Now that the door between the sewer and this room was broken the smell started to enter and pollute the air inside, not wanting to smell the horrible smell anymore Colress and made a run out of their after pressing a self district button. As soon as he left the room, theputers inside caught on fire and a series of explosions urred, these were not massive so it didn''t have any reaction outside. All information and files that were stored in thatputer got destroyed with it. ________________________ Julian got out of the sewer from a man whole and realized that he is right outside the city, he thanks god that he had Omniforce or he would have smelled like shit and entering the city like that is not a good idea. After entering the city he headed directly to his hotel room to clean himself up, even though he is not dirty he didn''t like the idea of being inside a sewer for such a long time. After he was done, he came back to the living room and took out hisptop to do some little research on the next gym leader he will be facing. He looked into Castelia city gym and found some information on the gym leader. Julian "The gym leader name is Burgh, a bug type user, his gym seems to be the one always challenged third by the trainers, not the strongest gym leader out there but still descent" He said and continued looking through his profile, with a win rate of 50% it was not bad, the pokemons he uses to battle with the challenges are his Whirlipede, Dwebble, and Leavanny. Julian ''A good line up, the most troublesome would be that Leavanny as it is fully evolved, Darumaka is nowhere close to evolution, Roggenr should be the closest one to evolve, I need to find a Shelmet for Karrast to evolve and Drilbur also needs a little more time'' He thought and started to figure out which pokemons to use for his next gym battle. Chapter 652 - Future Of Team Unova A new day and Julian decided to train his pokemons before the battle, he needed his Roggenr to evolve if he wants to take on the current gym as the gym leader has a fully evolved pokemon, it would be a tougher challenge for his pokemons who are tiny and have limited movement due to their small stature. Julian decided to visit the forest nearby and train with his pokemons, with the next gym leader being a bug type user Julian decided to go with Roggenr and Karrast, at first he thought of using Darumaka but seeing that the gym leader has a fully evolved pokemon he changed his mind. ?? Once he reached the forest he started to train Karrast and Roggenr for their uing battle, Julian''s current goal is to make Roggenr evolve and for that, he needs to find more pokemons for Roggenr to battle, a forest is filled with pokemons. Each and every one of them has their own unique way of handling themselves in the wild, some of them are more refined with their methods that others while some of them just use brute force against their opponents. Julian is trying to find thetter of the two, since the ones who use brute force can push Roggenr out of hisfort zone, being a physically strong pokemon he is not challenged more in terms of physic so if he encounters a pokemon that is powerful than him he might get pressured and force himself to grow stronger. Of course Julian could make Darumaka pressure Roggenr but he is already used to Darumaka''s ways, it won''t be efficient. When ites to Karrast, Julian focused on improving his defense, Karrast is the all-rounder of the ground, he has powerful physical attack power but it''s not the highest, Darumaka is way ahead of everyone in that field followed by Drilbur. And when ites to defense Karrast is also not the best, with Roggenr having the highest Physical defense of the group he has an edge over everyone in the field, while Karrast shares the same amount of physical defense with others in the group. This, of course, makes it difficult for Karrast to standout in the group, the only thing Karrast is better at than his friends is his Special Attack but it is not his prime stat, it is decent but not something to boast about, ites in use sometimes but only as a distraction or a cover-up for his powerful moves. With this in mind, Julian decided to train Karrast''s Physical and Special Defense both and once he evolves they will be more refined and helpful, Julian knows that the evolved form of Karrast, Escavalier, has great Physical and Special Defense with ridiculous Physical Attack. Now that Julian looks at his current team he knows that he needs a special attacker in his team as well, all of his current pokemons are based on Physical Attackers and they will be Physical Monsters but Julian also needs one or two Special Attackers to bnce his team a little. He doesn''t mind all-out physical hitters in his team but that will always put him in a position where he will have to get closer to his opponents tond any type of effective attacks, in a battle time is a very important factor, the one who can see their opponents attacking at them has a better chance of avoiding it than the ones who can''t. Julian has some pokemons in his mind that could fill his team and surprising one of them is also a bug type, even though this is his first time interacting and training bug type pokemons, Julian didn''t feel many challenges in it, he was a lot surprised by the minimum requirement that a bug type pokemons have. Unlike other typings'', most of them have fur which is hard to clean but when ites to bug types most of them don''t have any fur and they clean after themselves frequently, the easiest pokemons to take care of are bugs and water, watering second to bug. Bug types also seem to consume less food than other pokemons, they mostly prefer leaves from trees and fruits than self-made food by trainers. When Julian caught Karrast he had a hard time figuring out his diet as he would prefer leaves over Julian''s handmade food, then he decided to look into what a Karrast likes to eat and after finding out, he incorporated them into what he makes and gave them to Karrast. With all these ingredients being nts and vegetables they are rtively cheappared to meat products that his other pokemons eat. With a firm vision of how his Unova team will be Julian decided to train all his current pokemon ordingly so they maintain a perfect bnce. _____________________ Julian continued to find pokemons for his Roggenr to battle, he knew that Roggenr is very close to evolving, with all the battles he won today against wild pokemons, he is just one step behind. Karrast also improved a lot as Julian mostly made him do defensive training. Julian ''This should be enough for today, both of them did well, I should visit a trainer park tomorrow and challenge some trainers, it might help Roggenr evolve'' With tomorrow''s n already in his head, Julian decided to call it a day, he let his pokemons rest after a long day of hard training, they gave them some things to eat before finally returning to his hotel room. Chapter 653 - Wanting Attention Julian woke up from his bed and noticed that he slept a little longer than he expected, it''s now 12 PM, he looked to the side and noticed that Crystal is also sleeping peacefully on the small pillow bed it made for itself. He did the usual morning routine and decided to head out, he picked up the sleeping Crystal and tugged it inside his pocket before finally heading out. ?? He decided to go to the nearest pokemon park to see if he can find anyone who can give his pokemons some challenge. When he got there he saw many young trainers walking around with their pokemon by their side, all these trainers were either new to the profession or already have a fair share of experience. Since this park is very big Julian decided to look around and see what he can find before battling a good trainer, after looking around he found some interesting trainers that were good at what they were doing. Since he is here to battle he decided to do it, he found a bunch of trainers who were good at battling and joined them, as he walked near the battlefield, he saw trainers battling each other, the one who loses will back off and the one who wins will continue his battle with a new trainer. This being a survival type of training is really helpful for trainers and pokemons, with constant pressure from new and healthy pokemon will help a trainer''s pokemon get pushed to the edge and grow stronger. Julian waited for a while before one trainer was finally defeated by the other, the one who won is on a three streak win and is very excited, even though his pokemon seemed tired it also wanted to continue battling. Before anyone could step in Julian walked towards the battlefield and took his stance and sent out Roggenr. His opponent is a young man in his 15''s and his pokemon is a Pignite, a second stage pokemon, with its secondary fighting type it has an advantage over Roggenr but it is tired as well. Trainer "A Roggenr? You should at least sent a second stage pokemon" The trainer warned Julian. Julian "Don''t worry, I am fine with my choice" He answered. Trainer "Don''tin afterward when you lose" The trainer said and soon after the battle started, his Pignite charged at Roggenr using Arm Thrust. Julian "Roggenr, dodge and use Rock st" Seeing the iing attack Roggenr moved to the side dodging the Arm Thrusts and then sent a bunch of rocks flying towards Pignite, with so many rocks rushing towards it Pignite had nowhere to go and got hit by several of them causing it to faint on the spot. As it was already tired from its previous battle he couldn''t hold on any longer and got one shot by Roggenr, the trainers who were present in the area are not too impressed as they can already see that the trainer with the Pignite would have lost against anyone who would have battled him. The Pignite trainer got frustrated and moved to the side after sending his pokemon back to its Pokeball, another trainer stepped in and took his ce challenging Julian and his Roggenr. This new trainer sent out a Servine, an evolved form of Snivy, Julian is not worried about it even though it is a grass type and is a second stage pokemon, with Roggenrs known to evolve verytepared to starter pokemons, they have a lot of power in their base stage as well. With Roggenr''s high attack stat, Julian is confident in taking down this Servine in two to three moves. Trainer "Servine, use Vine Whip" Julian "Counter with Rock st" Both pokemons used their attack and sent them shooting at each other, the Vine Whips shot straight at the shooting rocks and went right through them, being a grass type move and having a higher damage rate, it easily broke through the rocks. But Julian never intended to use them to attack, as the Vine Whips destroyed the rocks it scattered everywhere and Servine got distracted, it couldn''t pinpoint where Roggenr is due to all the rocks blocking it. Roggenr, on the other hand, has already gotten very close to Servine by using the rocks to blend in, the trainer of the Servine noticed but it was toote. Julian "Now use SmackDown" Roggenr grabbed Servine''s tail and mmed it on the ground while covering it with rock energy, the smash caused cracks to appear on the battlefield, but somehow the Servine survived. Their whole evolution line is known for their great defense, it somehow survived the attack. Julian is not going to let this continue, he knew he can only get tougher opponents by causing amotion and the best way to do that is to create an undefeated streak. As Servine was trying to get back to its feet but Roggenr moved closer to it and used Rock Tomb,rge boulders came crashing down on Servine and ttened it on the ground. As the smoke cleared up the result was clear, Servine couldn''t take those Rock Tombs, as the battle ended everyone around the battlefield are surprised. They didn''t expect the battle to be over so quickly, they realized that this trainer is one with experience, this little stunt of Julian, of course, attracted some attention that he wanted but these trainers didn''t jump in, they wanted to see more. This battle could have just been a fluke as luck is also a very important factor in a trainer''s battle. Chapter 654 - Interrupted By A Gang The Servine trainer is shocked by his defeat, he couldn''t even show off his pokemons skills and ability and the battle has already ended. Since he cannot do anything now, he just sent his Servine back to its Pokeball and stepped away from another trainer to step in. ?? The trainer who stepped in this time is a little cautious as he saw what the little Roggenr can do, he knew he cannot fall for that Rock st trap and decided to send out a pokemon that can deal damage from far. The trainer sent out a Gothorita, being a Psychic-type special attacker, it was indeed a good choice by the trainer, even though it doesn''t have any advantages over a Rock Type pokemon, its psychic powers can still be useful. The battle started and the trainer didn''t wait for even a second beforeunching an attack at Roggenr to deal with his fast but Julian was on alert. Julian "Use Protect" Roggenr used Protect and blocked the iing Psybeam from the Gothorita. Julian "Use Rock st" Hearing Julian, Roggenr sent a bunch of rocks shooting towards Gothorita. Trainer "This won''t work on me, Gothorita use Psychic and stop them" His Gothorita did as he said and stopped the rocks on their track but suddenly a lot of mud balls came from right behind the rocks that are floating in the air, some hit the rocks while others went right past it andnded on the Gothorita covering it with mud, the mud went everywhere, from its eyes to nose and covered its vision. Roggenr had used Mud-p, now that Gothorita was blinded it didn''t take long before Roggenr crushed it with Rock Tomb. Even though these trainers and their pokemons looked strong they couldn''tpare to Julian and his battle tactics, no matter how good and strong their pokemon are, seeing another quick victory from the man in ck and his Roggenr the crowd started to get excited. They realized that this person was a real veteran and is here for a challenge, the weak and new trainers knew their limit and stayed behind, but some of them were really excited and challenged Julian and got defeated after one shot from Roggenr. Even though all the trainers who challenged Julian were weak, he didn''t mind at all, he was happy to see so many trainers were still interesting in battling him even though they have seen him crush trainers stronger than them. After sometime when everyone who wanted to challenge Julian knew that they couldn''t they decided to stop, this is also what Julian has been waiting for. He has now shown his skills and he wants to see if there are any trainers who can give his Roggenr enough challenge for him to evolve into the next stage. The crowd around the battlefield is already huge as people want to see who can defeat this person in ck, he is already in a 10 win streak, the highest there has ever been and the people want to see him battle more, every battle till now hasn''tsted a minute and his Roggenr has also not received any kind of damage. Julian didn''t have to wait long before a bunch of people walked towards the crowd, from the looks of it they looked like a local gang. "Hey you, do you think you are some kind of hotshot, battling all these weak trainers and showing off" The person in the front said. Julian looked at this person and noticed that this person is actually a real gangster, the way he dressed, carrying wooden baseball bats, and hokey sticks with him. This is the first time Julian hase across any street gangs, mostly he won''t mingle with these kinds of people as they are annoying and troublesome, who would have thought that they woulde and find him. "Hey, you? can''t you talk? I asked you something" The man said again, the goons around him were also getting aggressive swinging their bats in the air and scaring away the crowd. Julian "Why not settle this with a pokemon battle, since you think these trainers are weak, you should be strong right, why not step up and battle me" Julian said. He didn''t like goons but he didn''t want to beat these people up just because they were annoyed by him. The man got more pissed as he heard Julian, he thought he would be able to scare the man away but he couldn''t, these gangs make a reputation by installing fear into people and if someone fights back they beat him up but not in public. If they did that in public the police will get involved, to avoid police they choose their time and location for their targets, but the current situation is different, the person fought back and challenged them as well. If he backs off now his gang reputation might decrease and his boss would kill him if the news about this spreads across the area. Knowing he has nowhere to go he decided to y dirty and grinned maliciously at Julian and took his ce on the battlefield. Julian saw the expression of the man and could tell he is up to no good but Julian didn''t mind this little nuisance, if things go bad he has Crystal and Gengar at disposal, just their aura could make the members of the gang faint. Chapter 655 - Boldore Being forced to battle Julian right now the gang member had no choice but to step in, the only way out for him is to win. If he loses his gang will get humiliated and their leader will beat them up very badly. Knowing that he has to win he decided to y dirty, no one has said that you had to use a base or a second stage pokemon, it''s just a rule that everybody follows but it''s not written anywhere that you have to do it. ?? The gangsterughed and sent out his pokemon on the battlefield, he sent out a Seismitoad, a fully evolved pokemon, Julian looked at it and frowned but he is not surprised by the action of this gangster, it is not a rule to use only first and second stage pokemon. Its just trainers following an unwritten rule between them, people like this gangster just like to use brute strength and scare others, they don''t care about any shitty rules the trainers hold to themselves. Gangster "What? You want to give up now?" The Gangster said as he saw Julian''s eyes squint from the frown. Julian "No, why would I, this is even better" Julian said and cracked his knuckles and got serious, usually, he doesn''t like to bully others but sometimes it is necessary to teach people like this some lesson about how to behave in public and respect others at the same time. The trainers who were around the battlefield were also not happy with the gangster''s choice to use a fully evolved pokemon against a first stage pokemon like Roggenr. "Aren''t those the members from the Kodile gang, I heard that they are very vicious, they once broke a trainer''s arm because he fought them back but the police couldn''t do anything because they had no evidence" One of the trainersmented, just like this many trainers started to whisper about the wrongdoings of the gang, most of these trainers wanted Julian to give up and back off, they didn''t want an innocent man to get beaten up but they didn''t dare to speak out loud and wee the animosity of the gang towards them. The gangster, on the other hand, was delighted by hearing these whispers from the trainer, he believed that these whispers helped him install more fear into this man in ck. Julian "Why are you smiling like an idiot, make your move" Julian just ignored that smug smile and provoked the gangster, as Julian expected the gangster burst out in anger and called for an attack by ordering his pokemon. Gangster "Seismitoad, use Mud Shot" Julian "Roll away" As the Mud Shots charged at Roggenr he just moved out of the way effortlessly, Julian is not taking this battle lightly, with Seismitoad being both water and ground type pokemon, his Roggenr is battling a very high-risk battle, just one good shot from his opponent can end it. But Julian has confidence in his ways and the stupidity of his opponent. Seeing how effortlessly Roggenr dodged his pokemon''s attacks the gangster got more frustrated and made his Seismitoad charge at Roggenr using Ice Punch. These types of people were the easiest for Julian to handle, they had no understanding of what moves to use in different situations during a battle, they just use brute force which can be easily countered by some simple moves. Julian "Get under its feet" As Seismitoad got closer to hit Roggenr with Ice Punch, Roggenr rolled straight at the Seismitoad and stopped right on the spot where the Seismitoad''s leg was about tond. As Seismitoad stepped down, the horn on top of Roggenr''s head did its effect (like stepping on top of a Lego block), Seismitoad lost its bnce and came crashing on the ground while face nting its own face on its fist, it got hit by its own Ice Punch. Julian "Rock Tomb" Massive rocks soon crashed down on the fallen Seismitoad which is holding onto its feet from the sharp pain Roggenr''s horn caused it. The rocks tried to bury it alive, one after the other the rocks were doing a lot of damage even though it is resistant to rock type attacks. Gangster "What the fuck are you doing, get up and beat the shit out of that Roggenr" Hearing its trainer getting frustrated, the Seismitoad shot out a jet of water to escape from the boulders that are trying to crush it, it crawled out of the rocks and stared angrily at Roggenr and shot a powerful Water Pulse at him. Julian "Dodge and use Iron Defense" Roggenr dodged again and used Iron Defense to increase his physical defense, Julian is already predicting a physical attack from his opponent so he is preparing Roggenr to take the hit, he cannot just keep dodging, it is too time-consuming for him and his pokemon. Roggenr used Iron Defense and increased his defense. Gangster "Use Supersonic" This time Seismitoad''s attack didn''t miss as a sound wave hit Roggenr causing him to get confused, his head started to spin and he walked around the battlefield like a drunkard. Gangster "Hahaha, now finish it with Drain Punch" His Seismitoad finallynded a good hit on the confused Roggenr with a good drain punch, Roggenr was sent flying backward and crashed on the ground, seeing this everyone thought that the battle is over but they were still impressed by how good Roggenr performed against the Seismitoad. Gangster "Hahahaha, that''s what happens to people who go against our gang, see that, we are the...." Julian "Shut the fuck up, you are fucking annoying and the battle hasn''t even started yet" Julian said and rubbed his ears after getting annoyed by hearing the man scream like a man child. Gangster "What? What do you mea...." He suddenly stopped talking as he saw Julian''s Roggenr get back to his feet and shook his head getting rid of the confusion, even though he was hurt that Iron Defense really worked, it took half of the damage and the rest was surged off by Roggenr and his great defense. As Roggenr got up he started to glow, it looks like that hit triggered the evolution that Julian has been waiting for. Roggenr started to grow bigger and bigger, from two legs to three massive legs, as the light faded away a new pokemon was revealed to everyone, a Boldore. Boldore has a purple body with cyan-colored crystals all over his body. Julian "You are fucked" Julian said and stared at the gangster, now he didn''t need to dodge this person''s attacks. Julian ''System, tell me the moves that Boldore learned after evolving'' System ''Stone Edge and Power Gem'' Gangster "Just because your pokemon evolved you think you can defeat me?" Julian "Yes I can.....Let me show you, use Power Gem continuously" As soon as Julian said this, the crystal on Boldore''s body started to glow and a light ball formed in front of his face, then a ray of multicolored light shot at Seismitoad and hit it right on the shoulder. Being resistant to rock type attacks and with how weak Boldore is at using special type attacks, it didn''t do much but it was not over, another ray was shot at the Seismitoad. Then it started to rain, rays after rays shot the Seismitoad, from shoulders to knees, every joint was brutally attacked, it was as if it is getting gunned down by multiple people who are aiming only at its joints. Chapter 656 - A Good Battle Ahead The Seismitoad couldn''t do anything at all, it was not getting any chance to counter at all, these shots are too fast for it, the Seismitoad could no longer take it and finally came to the ground exhausted and hurt. The Gangster could only watch and grit his teeth, this was an oue he never sawing, he didn''t expect just a pokemon evolving could make such a huge difference. ?? Julian "Finish it with Stone Edge" Boldore used Stone Edge and finished his opponent, a massive blue glowing boulder came from underground and jabbed the Seismitoad up in the air, after it crashed down on the ground it fainted. The battle is over and everyone is shocked by the result, they thought that Julian would lose but the results turned out to be the opposite. Gangster "You...you, how dare you?" The Gangster pointed his finger angrily at Julian, he has no words to say, he is embarrassed and angered. Julian "What, you were just too weak, I pity that Seismitoad, having such a weak and useless trainer, it would have a better life in the wild than being with you, you were a total disappointment" Julian started to talk down on the gangster, trying to make him lose his temper, he wanted the gangster to snap so he can put this person in his ce once and for all. If this gangster tried to attack him he will counter and being an act of self-defense he won''t get in trouble. But to Julian''s surprise, the gangster didn''t do anything, he just red angrily at Julian and sent his pokemon back to its Pokeball. Gangster "You watch out, the streets aren''t that friendly around here" He said and walked away with his goons, Julian just watched and smirked, he already figured out what this man wanted to do, trying to ambush him when no one is watching. Julian ''Don''t worry, I will be waiting for it'' Julian thought and sent his Boldore back to his Pokeball, now that he has evolved Julian has nothing to do here, even though some trainers wanted to battle him after seeing how easily he defeated that gangster, but they were disappointed when they saw Julian send his pokemon back to his Pokeball. Julian decided to walk away as the trainers watched, after a few seconds new trainers walked in and continued to battle against each other again but most of them are still talking about the battle that just happened here. One of them was even recording it and uploaded it on the inte as soon as everything ended. ____________________ Julian made his way through the park and saw many trainers battling, he soon found someone familiar, it is none other than Yesh, he seems to be battling against other trainers, Yesh has be a lot stronger than before and all his decision are more effective than before. Julian decided to sit down and watch and see how long Yesh can hold onto his position, Yesh in now on his 7 win streak, which is very good. Julian continued to watch when he noticed a ground getting closer to Yesh''s battlefield, seeing them Julian bent his head a little and continued to watch, it was none other than Ash and his new set of friends that Julian is seeing for the first time. Ash is with a dark-skinned girl with too much hair on her head, she is wearing a yellow and pink color dress, he also noticed an Axew sitting on her shoulder hiding inside her thick hair, one more person Julian is surprised to see is Cn, the grass type gym leader he fought in his first gym battle. He wondered what Cn is doing with Ash and who is this new girl with him, Julian already knows what is going to happen next, knowing Ash''s habit, Julian knows that Ash will challenge Yesh after seeing him battle. But Julian is excited to see how this will end up, will Ash win or will Yeshe out on top, one is very intelligent and easily picks up his mistake and improves within minutes. In theory, Yesh is the perfect trainer that everybody wants to be, the other is a hyper kid who loves pokemons too much and is also a weird kind of genius when ites to pokemon battle, his methods are random, most of it doesn''t make sense at all until thest moment and very unpredictable, he also has more experience when ites to a pokemon battle. Ash is the perfect counter for Yesh, Julian wants to see who will actually win now, just for the sake of predicting a winner, Julian thinks that Ash is going to win because he has battled Ash twice and both times Ash has impressed him. Yesh, on the other hand, is still learning but the rate at which he learns is shocking, Julian won''t be surprised if Yesh spots a weakness in Ash''s y and use it for his advantage to win the battle. Julian looks at Ash and sees how excited he looks while watching Yesh battle, he knows that a good battle is about to start and he is excited about it. Chapter 657 - Ash Vs Yesh Julian has already called it, as soon as Yesh dealt with his opponent with an easy win Ash rushed out and challenged Yesh. Everybody around the battlefield was surprised by how loud Ash was when he challenged Yesh, they looked at him and thought he was just some kid who is overly excited to battle a strong trainer, this is not something rare as there are many kids who do this. ?? But some recognized him, even Yesh. Yesh "You are the finalist from both Hoenn and Sinnoh league" Yesh said after taking a look at Ash, being the only trainer to have faced Julian twice and both in the finals of the league, Ash also has a very good reputation among the elite trainers in the world, just being a 10-year-old boy he has done much more than anyone in this world. Ash "You know me?" Ash asked confused while looking at Yesh, even though some people recognize him, it is not very often because he is just a kid and still hasn''t achieved as much as an Elite Four to make his famous, but to the massive league fans, Ash is one of the best in their eyes. Yesh "Yes, you are the one who fought Julian twice, but both time you got beat up pretty badly" He said with no emotion, but for some reason, Ash thought he was getting mocked. Ash "Enough talk, let''s battle, I will show you how good I am" Ash said and pulled out a Pokeball from his back pocket, this will be the first time Julian will see what Pokemons Ash has chosen for his Unova journey, he already knows what Pokemons Yesh has, his Mawile is the strongest in his team but the most troublesome one will be the Croagunk and thest pokemon is Drilbur that Julian gave him. It is verymon for starting trainers to only have two to three pokemons during their third challenges, it not very easy to catch a good pokemon and even if one is able to catch a pokemon, it is sometimes hard to build a rtionship with them, most of them caught pokemons are released back to the wild because they don''t listen to their trainers and have bad chemistry together. Julian''s Omniforce helps him a lot with bonding with his pokemon, especial in case of Absol, he was the hardest one for Julian to bond with, he always kept his distance for his other pokemons and trained alone, if Absol didn''t know that he is not the strongest in the group and there are monsters keeping an eye on him, he would have surly rebelled in the first few days. When ites to Ash it''s different, Julian is really surprised by how easily he is able to gain a pokemon''s trust, no matter what stage they are in, trainers mostly try to catch young first stage pokemons because they are easiest to bond with. The battle is about to start and Julian focuses on the battlefield, waiting for both Ash and Yesh to choose their pokemons, Ash makes the move and sends out his first pokemon, Scraggy. Julian looks at the Scraggy and notices that it is quite young, but it is a decent pokemon, Yesh also does the same and sends out his pokemon, Croagunk. Both pokemons have a fighting typing with another typing, one is a poison and the other is dark, Julian is curious to see how Ash will do now, its been a long time since he has seen Ash train with his pokemons. Since this is a one on one battle, both of them have to give it their all to win, there is no second pokemon to rely on. The battle started and Ash made his first move by calling out Headbutt, Scraggy charged at Croagunk while holding onto its looses skin which looks like pants to deliver a powerful Headbutt, these pokemons are known for their very hard skull and they will headbutt anyone that makes eye contact with them. Yesh just watched as Scraggy got close to his Croagunk, as it was about to deliver the blow Yesh made the call and asked his Croagunk to dodge and then use Poison Sting. Croagunk did just that and jumped back dodging the Headbutt and then shot needle-like projectiles at Scraggy from its mouth, Ash''s Scraggy seems to have seen iting and suddenly pulled its skin up, the stretchy leathery skin quickly covered its whole body and blocked the needles from doing any damage but they still pierced and did what they were meant to do and that is to poison Scraggy. Everyone noticed that Scraggy got poisoned as its cheeks became purple, getting poison in a battle is really bad, it will weaken the pokemon and will slowly cause it to faint, from here on the opponent just needs to keep its distance from the one who is poisoned and it can win the battle within a few minutes. Ash seemed worried by this as he watched his Scraggy struggling to keep its footing when it suddenly started to glow lightly, soon cracks started to appear in this glow and it shattered, once the glow shattered Scraggy became normal, the poison effect was gone. As Julian saw this he realized that Ash''s Scraggy has the ability Shed Skin, this ability helps a pokemon get rid of any status condition it is put in, for example, poisoned, paralyzed, sleep, burned, frozen, confused, infatuated, trapped and, cursed. This ability is quite helpful for a pokemon in battle. Yesh didn''t see thising but he is not too surprised, Julian has thought him to stay calm no matter what happens during a battle, even if he is close to losing, he just needs one chance to turn the table against his opponent and this battle hasn''t even started. Chapter 658 - Ash Vs Yesh (2) Yesh gets serious since he knows that he cannot put his opponent''s pokemon in any kind of statue condition, he will have to rely on his Croagunk''s power to take this opponent. Yesh "Croagunk, use Brick Break" ?? Ash "Block it with your head and use Counter" Yesh "What?" Yesh didn''t expect Ash to just take the hit but it was toote to back out, as his Croagunk brought its arm down using Brick Break, Scraggy used its head to take it head-on, it then challenged all that power into its fist and punched Croagunk''s stomach. Croagunk backed off while holding onto its stomach, it took more damage than it did to Scraggy. Scraggy also backed off and shook its head to shake away the pain, it used its strong head to take that damage but it cannot do that forever, Ash made a good choice by doing this, he inflicted more damage to his opponent as soon as the battle started putting him in an advantage over his opponent. Yesh calmed down and thought about it and nodded, he is not panicking because he knows he cannot afford to, one more hit like that from Scraggy and the battle is over, he has to be more careful now, since he didn''t have much data on Ash he couldn''t tell what Ash will do. And all the data that is present on Ash doesn''t make sense, he makes stupid decisions and they work, that is how Ash won most of his hardest battles, while the others he used his skill that he has been honing from quite a while now. Ash "This is our chance, Scraggy, use Feint Attack" Ash used another good move, a move that cannot be dodged no matter what Yesh does unless he counters it with another move which is stronger than what Scraggy is using. Yesh "Counter with Venoshock, then use Thunder Punch" As Scraggy got closer for using Feint Attack it got hit by a wave of poisoned aura which slowed it down a lot and weakened its attack, Croagunk then used Thunder Punch and punched Scraggy right on its stomach. A tit for tat, Scraggy moved backward while grunting a little, the loose skin on its belly protected it from getting badly hurt but it still did some damage, now both sides are even, anybody can win, the only way is to outdo their opponent. Even Ash got serious as he knew that the opponent in front of him is very strong, tactics like before cannot work right now. They continued to exchange moves again, most of these exchanges were countered by both of them, none of them are getting a clear hit on the other and they are exhausting themselves, even the people and trainers around the battlefield are hooked to this battle as it has be very exciting, both trainers are not giving the other to get higher ground. Ash "Let''s end this, Scraggy, use High Jump Kick" Yesh "Use Cross Chop" Both trainers called out their moves and their pokemons moved for an attack, Scraggy jumped high up in the air and its leg started to glow covered with brutal fighting force, same with Croagunk, its arms were glowing with the same energy. Once they came in contact, the sound that came out of it was thunderous, followed by a massive shockwave that caused all the hats worn by people to fly away all the skirts worn by girls to blow up. Even the battlefield cracked and created a web-like pattern, as the smoke cleared up both pokemon simultaneously went on the ground and got knocked out, it was a draw. As the battle ended everyone cheered for both Ash and Yesh, both of them put on an awesome battle that everybody enjoyed watching, battles of this scale were very rare in parks like this, people would have to go to an official battle that is held in stadiums to witness such battle and sometimes even they don''t deliver in such scale. Julian who watched the whole battle was impressed by both of them, just like he expected, Ash had the advantage at the beginning due to his experience but he lost his chance, while Yesh is a quick learner and quickly adjusted his style to the current battle. If this battle had dragged on a little longer, Yesh might have won but there was a limit, no pokemon can keep on going, at one point they will tire and they will lose their energy to perform powerful attacks and this is what happened. Both pokemons got tried and finally lost all their energy after theirst exchange. Now that the battle is over, Julian got up from the park bench and walked away, back to his own hotel room to get ready for his next gym battle. Yesh looked at his fainted Croagunk and sent it back to its Pokeball and noted down all the things he learned into his head just like that, Ash walked towards his Scraggy and praised it for its hard work and sent it back to its Pokeball for resting as well. He then looked at Yesh and smiled while showing his teeth. Ash "I totally forgot, what''s your name?" Yesh "Yesh" Ash "Yesh, nice to meet you, my name is Ash, well you already know that, and you and your Croagunk are very strong, we should battle again" Yesh "I train, that''s all, next time I will defeat you" Yesh said and turned away and left leaving Ash dumbfounded. Ash "No chance, next time we battle, I will win, just you wait" Ash shouted at Yesh, Yesh turned around and looked at him for onest time before walking away. Iris "What a weird guy" Ash''s new friend said while looking at Yesh. Ash "What do you mean, he looked normal to me" Ash said while scratching his head. Iris "The way he talks, like a robot, there is no emotion in his voice at all" She said Ash "I didn''t notice it" He said looking confused. Cn "I think I remember him, he challenged my gym once and easily won against my brother" Cn remembered Yesh who had previously defeated his gym. Ash "Whatever, let''s go I am very hungry after that awesome battle I had with Yesh, I want to eat a lot now" Saying so he sprinted out of the park in a hurry leaving his friends behind. Chapter 659 - Idiots After the long day Julian headed back to his room to rest, he needed to clear his mind from all the things that happened today, sometimes he better to think nothing and stay nk up there than constantly thinking about something. He cleared his mind and fell into a deep meditation state, improving the flow of Omniforce in his body, since he learned that the system in his is much more capable and can do anything that just gives and read information, he wanted to unlock the next stage but he realized that he was not even an inch closer to getting near it at all. ?? He could feel himself walking inside a very long dark cave for years and still not able to find the ending to this dark cave, it felt like a very lonely journey. While he was meditating Crystal woke up after noticing the overflow of Omniforce around it, it popped out its head and saw that Julian is meditating, it also then started to copy Julian in what he is doing and closed its eyes taking in the flowing Omniforce around Julian''s body. ______________________ Time flew by just like that, Julian opened his eyes and looked at the clock hung on the wall and noticed that it is 4 am in the morning, he didn''t know what to do now, he is not feeling tired or sleepy, he was zoned out for more than 12 hours, there was no sign of exhaustion in him. So he decided to stroll out in the city and see what it is really like at 4 am, he noticed that Crystal is sleeping peacefully in his pocket and didn''t disturb it much, as he walked out of the hotel he noticed some night staff sitting around and talking with each other. Working at night is not much work so most of the staff tend toze around and have fun with each other, there is rarely an emergency during night time as all their guests are sleeping and not bothering them. Some of them noticed Julian and got to their feet to bow to him, they knew who he was as no guest can stay in their hotel without revealing their identity, they also have to be careful to not disclose their guest''s identity as well or they can be sued, so hotels like this followed strict rules. Julian nodded at them and walked out of the hotel, the wondered why Julian is going out thiste at night but they couldn''t figure out anything. After walking out of the hotel Julian looked at the empty roads under the street lights, the only notice he could hear is the sound of insects and bug pokemons making noises. There are asional sounds of vehicles moving around the street but very few, even though the city seems to be asleep many people are wide awake doing some kind of work, the lights from huge skyscrapers light up everything in high altitude making the night less scary for people. As Julian continued walking down the alleyway into the main city he noticed that a few people are actually following him, Julian thought this would happen as no normal person would roam around the city during dark all alone and whoever does might just get robbed and worst-case scenario, killed by some crazy lunatic. Julian stopped and turned around to see who is really following and to his surprise, it was the gangster who he had battled yesterday, he was with five other goons who were part of the gang. Julian "Would you look at that? why are you following me?'' Julian asked and smiled. Gangster "Of course, to beat you up and break your legs, once we are done with you you will never be able to participate in a pokemon battle again" The Gangster said andughed while rubbing his baseball bat with his hands. Julian "So you guys camped outside my hotel and waited for me to get out, just so you can beat me up when no one is watching, what kind of pathetic people are you, idiots? Don''t you have a life, or is it just you idiots roaming around the streets and marking your territories like dogs?" Julian mocked him and chuckled after seeing how pathetic this gangster, this is his first time meeting someone like this, even Cyrus had a goal in his life and that is to create his own world to rule butpared to him this gangster is clearly the most pathetic a human can get, having no life goals and troubling others. Julian never understood this mentality, how can a person be so free that he has nothing to do but ruin other people''s life. Hearing Julian the gangster got even angrier, he really wanted to bash Julian''s head on the concrete wall that is next to him. Gangster "Don''t you see what you got your self into, I have five people with me, each of them holding a bat and they also have their pokemons by their side, don''t you feel the need to run from us, calling for help and begging for mercy?" The Gangster said in a cocky tone. Julian "Are you idiots really so dumb, you saw a man walk out from his hotel all alone without any person behind to protect him, don''t you idiots even consider how strong I really am, if I was a weak person, I would have clearly brought bodyguards with me, but I didn''t. Don''t you idiots even think about you guys failing at doing something and there can be serious consequences for those actions that you take?" Julian asked while looking at the bunch of idiots. Listening to Julian the gangsters knew that Julian is talking some sense and some of them started to hesitate, they thought that Julian could be right, but their group leader is the biggest idiot of them all. Gangster "You bunch of idiots, why are you all scared, he is clearly bluffing, he is making up excuses to escape from us" Julian "Trust me, I am not bluffing. Can you all feel it?" Julian asked. Gangster "Feel what?" He asked while frowning. Julian "The temperature, it''s getting very cold here, why do you think that is?" Julian said while looking around. "It really is getting colder here, what the fuck, why is it getting so cold out here?" One of the goons said as he started to rub his shoulders to generate some heat. Julian "It doesn''t just stop there you see, soon you will feel your heart beat faster and faster as fear creeps into the depth of your soul itself, you will be so scared that you might go into a trauma, so I warn you to fuck off or it might happen" Julian gave one final warning but he knew the biggest idiot will not let that happen, he just wanted to see the big idiot''s reaction. Chapter 671 - An Old Pokemon Julian stayed behind the group of people that was guided by the guide as he showed them around the ruined city, the city was quite broken, the sands of time had destroyed them, some of them were totally covered in sand while of then they were cracked and broken. The group continued forward carefully as the guide warned them and told them not to panic if something attacked them out of nowhere, the guild told them that they won''t get hurt no matter what. ?? Even though this message from him caused a stir in the group it is still better to be warned, if he didn''t warn them, any attack from a pokemon might cause huge panic in the group. Soon the whole group reached the center of the ruined city, the guide became quite while introducing the are to the tourist, the tourists felt that something was wrong seeing the guide has turned silent. As the guide was doing his work, a beam of fire shot out of the main castle in the middle of the city towards the tourist group, luckily the beam stopped right in front of the group and didn''t touch anyone. But this, of course, caused panic in the group and since the guide had already warned them about this, most of them hid behind the guide as he escorted them away from the area. Julian, on the other hand, separated himself from the group as he was more interested in that fire type attack that was thrown at the group. He made his way towards the castle in the middle silently, he hid his aura from whatever that was inside, he didn''t want to battle it after seeing how weak the structure of this castle really is. He knows that even a small explosion might bring the whole structure down, as he entered the castle while hiding his aura he found nothing except cracked and broken walls, the pokemon that had attacked the group went away as it couldn''t sense anyone near the castle. Julian looked around the castle wall and noticed some etchings of pokemons on them, he went deeper into the castle, and from the looks of it, it looked like any normal old castle, there was nothing special about it from the front. But Julian soon found a passageway which led deeper underground, now he is really interested to see what is really under this castle, this passageway is quite well hidden, without proper light source one won''t be able to see the entrance at all and this ce is quite dark. He went down the passage slowly while maintaining his slow pace and hiding his aura so that he won''t alert the pokemon that is inside. It didn''t take him long to soon find himself inside a maze, if normal people were stuck here they would think they are just going round and round around the ce, but Julian could tell that he is going down. On his way, he found some pokemons that were hiding inside the cracks of the wall or pirs that seem to be supporting this underground structure. After a while going down this maze, Julian soon found the pokemon that was behind all those attacks and he was surprised to see this pokemon, it is none other than a Volcarona, this pokemon has been in many Unova legends and they are known for their power. They are also called the Sun pokemon as they act as a recement for the sun sometimes for the people, in ancient legends they were described as legendary pokemons because of how they helped people during tough times but with modern standards they are not considered a legendary. As they are weakerpared to a Pseudo legendary, let alone a normal one, but still a very powerful pokemon, Julian gets excited seeing this pokemon as it is one of the pokemons he had in mind and he wanted to catch a pre-evolved form, too bad this one is already evolved and from the looks of it, it is near the end of its life. At the end of the day, no matter how strong a pokemon or a person is, death is the ultimate end of anything, Julian wondered as he saw this Volcarona, even at its weakest state, it was able tounch such a powerful attack before, even though it seemed like a warning shot, it still held a lot of power and Julian felt it. He wondered how powerful this thing really was at its prime, he looked around the area and noticed that the Volcarona is actually guarding something behind it, he doesn''t know what it is but it was releasing a faint light from it. Julian knew this is something rare and he has to check it out but without hurting the Volcarona in any way, its state was already bad from old age, he doesn''t need to bully it as well. He slowly got out of his hiding spot while releasing his aura to alert the Volcarona while also letting it calm down by sensing he has no ill intention. This stunt of course caught Volcarona''s attention just like Julian expected but instead of being calm, it attacked Julian as soon as it saw him with a methrower. Chapter 661 - A List As the city went back to its usual busy self, Julian decided to return to his apartment and get ready for today, today is also a training day, with Roggenr evolving into Boldore he will have to practice a little before getting used to his new body, simple movements are natural to pokemons when they evolve but they need further training to master their movements. But when ites to Boldore things can get a lot harder, his previous self was a rock with two tiny legs that only helped him take little steps and wabble, not he has threerge legs, Julian will have toe up with a new efficient way for him to move around and attack his opponents. ?? He will also have to focus on Boldore''s special defense, just being a physical defense pokemon won''t cut it, he is slow due to his heavy body and hecks special defense, a strong special attack can end it all in one go. The other pokemon Julian still has to train is Karrast, even though he is improving at a very fast rate, Julian still cannot bring out his full potential unless he evolves, and for that Julian needs to find a Shelmet which will help his Karrast evolve into Escavalier. Once Julian was back in his hotel room he turned on the television to see the daily news to see if anything has happened in the recent days, to his surprise he is on the news again and it is about his battle in the park he had with the gangsters. Looks like some of his super fans were able to identify him even behind the mask and looking at his battle style, Julian didn''t know what to say as he watched the video of his Boldore destroying the Seismitoad. Someone must have taken the video during the battle and posted it online in their channel, soon some of Julian''s super fans found the video and realized that it was him, once word got out that it is Julian, the video went viral and people realized that he is in Castelia City. Julian "Looks like I won''t be able to hind from my fans anywhere, they are crazy" He said and continued watching, he is nowpletely used to the fame thates with his record, not many can boast like Julian if he wants to, even his fans are crazy, if someone dissed him, his fans will bully that person till they delete their ount. With how the inte is today it was no surprise for Julian seeing something like this, even he is afraid of going against his own fans on the inte. Soon the video of his on the television ended and the news anchor started to show another video of another pokemon battle, it was of Ash and Yesh, their battle was so good that it was able to attract a lot of attention on the inte as well. Some people recognized Ash being the one who faced Julian twice in the leagues so it wasn''t surprising for them to see Ash have this kind of battle because they have seen him have more impressive battles in the past. One with Tobias in the semifinals of the Sinnoh region, many believe that the semifinal battle of the Sinnoh league was one of the best battles they have ever seen, and not many would go against that statement, except Julian''s fans, they will barge into any conversation and praise about him and ridicule others. His fan base is very toxic, even Julian cringes when reading some of his fan''s argument, that is why he has never made any social ount at all, and the ones he owns are under different names and private, only to speak with people he knows. Back to Ash vs Yesh, it was trending in Unova and some parts of the world, people knew Ash but Yesh was a massive surprise to them as well, his way of battling looked like a perfect illustration to an expert''s eyes, many veterans well know by the world even praised Yesh and his way of battling. With just that video, the unknowns Yesh became famous just like that and he became one of the top candidates who will be facing Julian in the finals. Since most of them already believed that Julian is going to win the league again, people started to guess who will actually face Julian in the finals, Ash was one of them as he has already faced Julian twice and now Yesh has joined the ranks as well, there are even more people in the list. With Julian''s challenge to the world, many people havee to Unova to participate in the league and many prodigies who im to be the best are finally showing themselves, not only prodigies but even some veterans who want a challenge again in their life. When Julian heard about a list of trainers who are expected to face him in the finals, he was surprised, he didn''t know that people even made a list about potential trainers who might face him in the finals of the Unova League. He got curious and decided to take a look and see if he can find anyone who can impress him. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ A/N - Also, go and read my other novel "12 Hand Asura" and give it a review if you like it, I would really appreciate it. Chapter 662 - List, Media, And Omni Guardians Julian soon found the website where the list was present. When he opened it, the first name he saw was Ash, he was surprised by this, he didn''t think Ash name would be in the first ce but it did make sense, with his record and his history of meeting Julian in the finals twice, people believed he could do it again. ?? Now that Julian carefully thinks about it, Ash being the first makes sense as he has defeated so many strong opponents and he has some really powerful pokemons like his Charizard, Snox, Infernape, etc. Next in the list was a man named Drake, Julian has never seen this man, he looked into this drake by clicking the link next to his name, another page opened disying Drake''s and his pokemon''s photos and some info on them. Drake is a tall man with ck hair, he wears a red overcoat over a ck sleeveless shirt and he has a Pokeball neckless around his neck, Julian looked into this man more and found out that he is from the Orange Inds and has a very impressive record with only one loss in his whole career and to Julian''s surprise he lost to Ash in the Orange League. Drake''s team is filled with very strong pokemon and his ace is a Dragonite, some of the videos that were present on the inte on Drake and his pokemons informed Julian that Drake is clearly close to a champion level pokemon trainer. This is what he got from all the recent videos of his uploaded match, Drake seemed like a promising contender but Julian is not sold yet, he has seen many trainers with like this, the only reason he is so high is that he seems very popr among the people. Julian moved on to the next person in the list, the list is filled with people he has no idea about but all of them seemed promising, he found some familiar faces but he had no interest in them, after going through the list he was pretty disappointed but he expected this. Most of the trainers who he wants to battle are either training away training far from the public eye and have made very little public appearances, and some of them are a prodigy with little to no fame, some of them might just surprise him. He has seen two of them till now but they still have a lot to learn before they can really take him on in a serious battle, knowing that he won''t find anything interesting on the inte he decided to head out to the jungle and continue to train his pokemon. Since the public know that he is in Castelia city many will be hunting him, especially the media who would love to get footage of Julian doing anything, if he gets caught eating a burger in some local burger store, the news headlines will be "Undefeated Champion Julian, eating a burger in a local store, what do you think his favorite burger is?" The media will make anything out of the blue just to sell their product to the public by using Julian''s name, well it will at least help the Burger ce get some attention from the locals and Julian''s toxic super fan base. Julian won''t be surprised seeing this kind of headlines at all, even though he is not the champion people still call him a champion because he has never lost his title and he has defeated other champions before, to people no one is more befitting to have the title of champion other than Julian. As he walked out of his room he noticed that the manager of the hotel was standing outside waiting for him. Julian "What is it?" Julian asked. He has a feeling that something is not right here. Manager "Sir, it looks like someone has found out that you are staying here and many people from the media are waiting outside" Julian sighed and looked at the manager in pity, he knows how troublesome the media can get. Julian "Try to distract them while I get out from the back gate, and here take this, if you need any help contact this person and he will help you out" Julian said and gave him a card with a phone number written on it. Since the manager will be troubling himself by dealing with the media he had to give him something, this card holds the number of a very special person, themander of Omni Guardians. This person is the same person who''s team Crystal destroyed by ident, he is also the only person who knows that Julian is the legendary trainer who saved them, he is the highest rank officer in Omni Guardian and he only answers to Julian and no one else. Omni Guardians are slowly building up their strength while the League supplies them with gadgets and tech, they have already started to appear in public and get rid of troublemakers, they were even sessful in taking down a low-level criminal organization dealing his drug trafficking in Kanto. Even though they are still small they can aplish some hard tasks as they have to permission from the league, the manager doesn''t know just how much of a huge favor Julian has done for him by giving this card. The managers happily bow his head and rushed out to distract the media while Julian escapes from the back, once he reached the parking lot he quickly took a look around to confirm if anyone is camping outside to snipe him with their camera, seeing no one he dashed away in his bike leaving behind a trail of smoke. Once he reached the jungle the training started, Boldore and Karrast were pushed to their limits until they copsed from exhaustion, after that, they were rewarded with their favorite snacks and drinks so they can regain their lost energy. Now that they arepleted their training, it is time for Julian to tackle the next gym, the Castelia gym, and its leader, Burgh, the bug type user. Chapter 663 - Third Gym Battle In Unova Julian had to sneak into his hotel just like he left from the back gate, he could see many media reporters hiding with their cameras while he rode past them, after sneaking in he directly went into his room to rest and get ready for tomorrow. A new day has arrived and Julian is ready for his third gym challenge, his pokemons are fresh and energized for their battle today, Julian gives them their normal morning breakfast before heading out, just like yesterday there seem to be some people waiting for him outside but unlike yesterday there were a lot less in person. ?? Humans don''t like to wait for too much so they must have left after getting annoyed by waiting for so long, he sneaked out from the back door and headed towards the gym to challenge the gym leader, when he got there he noticed something. There were a lot of people outside the gym waiting to get in, Julian frowned as this is not normal, people don''t just barge into a pokemon gym for nothing, something must have happened. Knowing that he might get in trouble if people see him Julian decided to find a way to sneak in. While trying to avoid people as much as he can, after looking for a while he couldn''t find any entry point that would allow him to enter the gym without getting noticed by people. Since they already know what Julian wears usually, with the signature ck coat with a ck mask, he can easily stand out, he decided to wait for a while before everyone goes in and then try to find his way in, this way it is much better. He waited for a while as he watched many people enter the gym, after a while, he saw thest person entering so he soon followed behind, when he entered the gym he could hear the voices of people inside talking to each other. Julian felt annoyed by this, he walked towards the door which leads to the battlefield and saw the gym''s caretaker standing there, this caretaker looks very old, maybe past 80s, Julian approached him and nodded his head. "Are you also here to watch the battle?" The caretaker asked. Julian "What battle?" "Since the news about Champion Julian being in the city got spread, people around the city areing daily to the gym to watch him, hoping that they will be able to see him battle, too bad he hasn''t shown up yet but the people still get some entertainmenting here, few trainers came here to challenge the gym leader yesterday, you must be a challenger as well right?" The caretaker asked. Julian "Yes, I am a challenger" Julian said. "Ahh, good, you can go and challenge the gym leader now, there is no one challenging him right now, if you came yesterday you wouldn''t have gotten a chance to battle him, poor gym leader he lost two battles in a row against two young trainers" The caretaker said and sighed, he paused for a few seconds and continued to talk again. "But don''t underestimate the gym leader boy, he is very skilled at what he does, his opponents yesterday were quite strong" Julian "I will remember that, thank you" Julian thanked him and walked past him entering the battlefield, as soon as he entered he saw a lot of people inside, most of them are sitting in the audience area as if they are waiting for someone, Julian sighed and walked towards the battlefield to challenge the gym leader of this gym, Burgh, the bug type trainer. As soon as Julian entered some of them noticed him and seeing what he was wearing they suspected it to be Julian, one of the shouted his name pointing at him, this caused a mass reaction, and everyone in the room looked at him with excitement written all over their face. Seeing that the man in ck is actually heading towards the battlefield most of them believed that it is Julian while some of them were still skeptical because there were a lot of people who tried to just troll others by dressing up like Julian. The gym leader, on the other hand, was very happy to see all these people in his gym, normal people don''t usuallye to gyms to watch trainers battle as they have other things to do so having an audience is rare unless there is an event being held. Julian took his stage and looked at the gym leader who is sitting on a chair close to the audience are looking at him. Julian "I am here to challenge you" The gym leader got up after hearing Julian and walked towards the battlefield as well, Julian carefully observed him, this gym leader named Burgh is a very tall and slender man, he has brown curly hair, he wears a green vest with red and ck striped pants, he also has a red scarf around his neck. Burgh "You must be the great Julian, its an honor to meet you" The man seemed very professional and elegant in his speech. Julian "Nice to meet you as well, so are we beginning?" Julian asked. He didn''t want to stay here for much longer, he just wants to get out of the city and change his way of dressing, if he continues to wear all ck things might get very uncontroble. Chapter 664 - Julian Vs Burgh Burgh "Let''s start the battle then" Burgh said and signaled the referee to step in, soon a man wearing a ck and white stripe shirt walked in and took his ce as a referee and started to announce the rules of this battle. ?? Referee "This battle will be a three on three pokemon battle, during the battle only the challenger is allowed to switch pokemons in the middle of the battle, the person who has no pokemon in his team at the end of the battle loses. Am I clear?" The referee gave the rules and looked at both Julian and Burgh for their approval to start the battle, once he got both of their nods and waved his gs and started the battle. Burgh sent out his first pokemon by tossing up the Pokeball in the air, his first pokemon is a Whirlipede, a bug poison type. Julian decided to use Boldore as his first pokemon, first, he will deal with the Whirlipede then he will think about what to do next. Julian sent out Boldore which caused a reaction from the crowd because they have seen what this rock pokemon can do, able to take out a fully evolved pokemon is no small task and this Boldore has done it. Burgh also gets serious as he knows he is at a disadvantage, he needs to y smart and not get hit by one of Boldore''s attack but ying defense won''t help, he has to keep his Whirlipede moving so it won''t get targeted and shot at with those devastating Power Gems, no trainer wants their pokemon to get hit by something that hits like a minigun. Burgh "Whirlipede, use Rollout" Burgh started off smart by calling Rollout, this will increase the power behind the attack every second and it will also keep Whirlipede in momentum and won''t get targeted by Boldore. Julian "It''s not good to base your strategies with only the things you have seen on the inte" Julian said and smiled while suddenly calling out an Earthquake, Boldore smashed the ground with his legs and sent a tremor running down the battlefield, earth energy traveled across and hit Whirlipede and sent it flying up in the sky while the ground is left with many cracks. Whirlipede lost all the momentum it had built in a second and is now on the ground struggling to get straight, Earthquake, being one of the strongest ground type moves did its job and severely reduced Whirlipede''s health. Julian "You need to do more, finish it with Power Gem" Julian gave the final call and Boldore shot multiple rays of colorful beams at Whirlipede until it got knocked out, the first round ended very quickly which left everyone in shock. This was too fast for them, even Burgh was a little stunned but he quickly gathered himself, he knew he has to do a lot better if he wants to take on Julian, even if Julian is carrying a new team of pokemon, it is still Julian, his experience in pokemon battle is far better then Burgh''s. Burgh called his Whirlipede back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon, a Dwebble, a bug/rock type pokemon, Julian also decided to send Boldore back to his Pokeball and rest up for the next round and sent out Karrast. Both pokemon being a first stage pokemon, it seemed like a fair battle, both are bug types as well, Karrast''s appearance also caused a reaction as this is Julian''s second pokemon that has been shown to the public. The battle started again, this time Burgh doesn''t have to worry about anything that will work against his pokemon, both are bug types, Karrast doesn''t have any special attacks that might harm his Dwebble and even if it does have a special attack, they are very weak while using it. Karrast depends on their high physical attack stat and his Dwebble has a ridiculous defense that works in his favor but he will not be rash and try to drag this battle based solely on his pokemon''s defense. Burgh "Dwebble, use Feint Attack" Burgh didn''t waste any time and went for a direct attack that cannot be dodged, the only way to escape is to counter it. Julian "Karrast, use Fury Cutter" Karrast channels all his power into his arms and cross chops the iing feint attack to counter it, as the moves connect it creates a small shock wave and both pokemon is pushed back, Karrast is sent a little further as he is a lot lighter than Dwebble while Dwebble being the heavier opponent stands its ground. This, of course, made people think that Karrast lost that exchange while it was clearly a draw, one being Feint Attack is a much powerful attack than Fury Cutter while Karrast being the stronger one here canceled each other out. Julian "Karrast, use Fury Cutter again" Karrast once again charges at Dwebble while using Fury Cutter, this time the move is twice as powerful than before, Burgh needs to find a way to dodge this attack so Fury Cutter can return to its base power. Until Fury Cutter keeps making contact its power will keep increasing. Burgh "Dwebble, use Iron Defense and then use Feint Attack" As Karrast gets closer and is ready tond the powered up Fury Cutter, Dwebble uses Iron Defense and increases its defense and sessfully takes the hit, it does take damage but it is not as severe if it hadn''t used Iron Defense. It then counters with Feint Attack andnds it on Karrast which sends him backward, the attack was good and it damaged Karrast but Julian isn''t worried about it. He is focused on the battle, waiting for that one mistake that Burgh is going to make for sure and if he doesn''t Julian will force him to make one, this is how he always battled at it won''t change. Chapter 665 - Julian Vs Burgh (2) With thest exchange Dwebble came out on top by increasing its defense and alsonding a good hit on Karrast, unlike Dwebble Karrast doesn''t have a good defense which can be a problem if he continues to takes hits like that. Julian "Karrast, use Sword Dance" ?? Since Dwebble can increase its defense so can Karrast increase his speed, Karrast activated Sword Dance and increased his attack stat by a lot. Burgh "Dwebble, use Feint Attack once again" Using Feint Attack is indeed a very good call, it is a powerful move and it can never be dodged, if the opponent is not ready to counter it, they will get hurt badly by it. Julian "Fury Cutter" Karrast counters with Fury Cutter once again and this time it is much more destructive than before, with it being the third Fury Cutter, it is already three times stronger than the first one and with the added effect from that Sword Dance has made this attack even stronger. Burgh still doesn''t understand the full power behind this attack so he is not ready for the oue. As both pokemon sh, Karrast easily destroyed the Feint Attack and tore through Dwebble defense andnded the Fury Cutter, once itnded, Dwebble is sent rolling on the ground with dust and smoke trailing behind it. Everyone gasped seeing the result behind that exchange, all the exchanges between Dwebble and Karrast had led to Dwebble winning, this made many people think that Julian''s Karrast is a lot weaker than his Boldore, some were even frustrated at Julian for switching his pokemon during the battle. They thought that Boldore could have ended the battle easily, but now all their doubts went away, Karrast never showed his full power, Julian wanted to see what this Dwebble is really made of and he is surprised by how good of a pokemon it really is but this will have to end now. Julian "Another Sword Dance" Karrast increased his attack stat again and this time it is over the roof, no pokemon in their first stage evolution can take a hit from Karrast now, even second stage pokemon might get knocked out from Karrast''s attack. Burgh "Dwebble, use Iron Defense and Rock Polish" Burgh decided to increase Dwebble''s defense and speed to counter Karrast''s ridiculous attack power, he has seen what Karrast can do with just one attack and he is not able to cancel the Fury Cutter yet which is growing troublesome, maybe increasing Dwebble''s speed can allow it to dodge the Fury Cutter and cancel all that built up power. Julian "Fury Cutter, let''s end this" Karrast charged up his Fury Cutter and ran towards Dwebble, trying tond a very powerful hit to finish this battle. Burgh "Dodge it" As Karrast was about tond the Fury Cutter, the Dwebble moved to the side with the help of its increased speed and sessfully dodged the Fury Cutter, this, of course, caused all the built-up energy inside the Fury Cutter to disappear as well and the attack power returned to normal but Julian was not surprised by this. Julian "Now, Feint Attack" Karrast suddenly pulled off his own Feint Attack out of nowhere which caught everyone by surprise, they didn''t expect Julian to be hiding Feint Attack in his arsenal as well, the Feint Attacknded and it sent Dwebble flying backward and crashing into the wall at extreme speed. As it crashed into the wall, the wall got covered in cracks and Dwebble was stuck right in the middle of the crack, knocked out. This was the mistake Julian forced Burgh to make, he expected Burgh would be trying to dodge the dangerous Fury Cutter to cancel its power that he totally forgot that Karrast can use other moves as well, once the smokescreen called Fury Cutter was used Burgh did as Julian expected and called for a dodge. Julian took advantage of this andnded a Feint Attack which cannot be countered at such short distance, the movended and the second round was over just like that. Referee "Dwebble is unable to battle, Karrast wins" Once the result was out everyone burst into cheer seeing how Julian won this round as well, some of them were a little embarrassed for doubting Karrast''s power but it was not their fault, Karrast didn''t show his true powers during the beginning of the battle. Burgh didn''t see thating at all, Julian hid the Feint Attack very well. He smiled and sent Dwebble back to its Pokeball and sent out his final pokemon against Julian, a Leavanny, a fully evolved pokemon. It is very rare to see a fully evolved pokemon in a gym that most trainers challenge very early in their journey but bug type pokemons are known to evolve a lot faster than any other pokemons. For example, pokemons like Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, etc are known to evolve very fast and reach their final for within weeks of training, but when ites to Leavanny, it is a little different, its second stage evolution is at an average rate but its final evolution is a little tricky, the pokemon needs to fully trust its partner and have sense security with their trainer for them to evolve. Seeing that Burgh has a Leavanny, he has proven that he takes care of his pokemons and from the looks of it this Leavanny looks very strong as well, being a fully evolved pokemon has its advantages over pokemons who have fully not evolved, they have a better understanding of their powers and how to use itpared to pokemons who have not fully evolved. Julian knows this and that is why he was focused on evolving his Boldore or he could have just used Darumaka, trained it till it could match his opponent''s level, and floor them easily but sometimes things are not always that easy. Chapter 666 - Julian Vs Burgh (3) Julian called back his Karrast and sent out Boldore once again, this might be a little tough battle with Leavanny being a grass type and having good special attack stats that can seriously damage Boldore. Boldore is not the best option to face off against Leavanny but he was the only option Julian had and this is not the first time Julian has faced a tougher opponent. When ites to power, his Boldore has the upper hand but he has to be careful of any special attacks that Leavanny throws at Boldore. ?? Burgh started the battle without giving a second thought, he knew he has to attack from a distance and knowing how slow Boldore is, he would be stupid not to use it for his own advantage. But Boldore also has an advantage over Leavanny, with his rock typing, and his arsenal filled with rock type moves he can deal serious damage to Leavanny but first he needs to pin it down before delivering the final blow. Burgh "Leavanny, use Sr Beam" Leavanny started to strong, Burgh wants to end this quickly and a big move like Sr Beam will do the trick but for that, he needs to wait. Luckily for him, his opponent''s pokemon won''t be able to hit Leavanny because it is too slow and with Leavanny''s speed it can easily dodge those Power Gems from Boldore. Julian "Sandstorm" Julian suddenly calls out Sandstorm, the perfect counter for this situation as this moves reduces the power of a Sr Beam by 50% and that is a lot of power loss and on top of that the Sandstorm will keep on damaging Leavanny until the Sandstorm ends. The Sandstorm covered everything in the battlefield altering everyone''s vision, the crowd couldn''t see what is happening inside the Sandstorm while inside the Sandstorm, Leavanny is struggling to collect sr energy to st a Sr Beam. Burgh didn''t see thising but right now he is not powered about it, he is thinking about how to end this Sandstorm but it is not possible unless his pokemon also knows a field move like Sandstorm. Too bad he doesn''t, as the Sandstorm continues, small stones keeps flying around and hitting Leavanny while Boldore is just standing there waiting for his chance, even though these stones hit him, he is not affected by them as he is a rock type. Leavanny is getting hit left and right by stones and it is slowly chipping away its health, but after a second things change as Leavanny haspleted collecting Sr Energy, even though its power is cut in half it is still a very powerful move and Boldore cannot afford to take it head-on. Leavanny thenunched it straight at the direction where Boldore was standing before, luckily for Burgh, Boldore hasn''t moved an inch from that position. Julian "Use Protect" Before the Sr Beam could hit him he used Protect and blocked the Sr Beam easily, and the Sandstorm continued damaging Leavanny again. Burgh didn''t know what to do, Leavanny cannot just stand there but it is also having a hard time pinpointing Boldore, Boldore won''t just stay in one ce and wait for an attack toe towards him. Burgh decided to move in closer, it is a risk but he has to do it for Leavanny to get a clear vision on Boldore so it can continue its attack. Burgh "Leavanny, move forward and use Giga Drain" Leavanny followed Burgh''s instruction and moved in closer to Boldore while pushing through the harsh Sandstorm, once it got closer it got a good view of the battlefield and where Boldore is standing, as soon as it noticed Boldore, it used Giga Drain to attack Boldore. Julian "Use Power Gem" As the green rays shot and hit Boldore, Boldore also shot multiple multicolored rays at Leavanny, both attacks reached their target, while the Power Gem was weak because Boldore is not a special attacker, they did damage Leavanny because it is weak to rock type attacks, at the same time the Giga Drain is constantly drawing Boldore''s energy. Now it is a battle of stamina, who is much tougher than the other, the Sandstorm is also in effect and is in favor of Boldore but Leavanny is feeding on Boldore''s energy to restore its own at the same time. Will Boldore''s Power Gem be enough to take down Leavanny or will Leavanny absorb all the power inside Boldore and knock him out. Julian "This is taking too long, Stone Edge" Boldore suddenly changed his attack and used Stone Edge as soon as he heard themand, blue glowing massive rocks ripped through the ground and smashed into Leavanny sending it up in the air out of the Sandstorm. Everyone watched in shock as Leavanny was sent flying up in the sky and then came down on the same massive glowing rock and smashed into it and got knocked out. This sudden change of move from Julian won him the battle, if he had continued with Power Gem he would have lost, he could see Boldore getting weaker and weaker by the second as the Giga Drain, drain the power out of Boldore so he decided to end it, noticing how focused the Leavanny was while using the Giga Drain, Julian knew it won''t see the Stone Edgeing and will get knocked out. As the Sandstorm ended everyone could see Leavanny is lying on top of the glowing rock which slowly went back into the ground, the referee checked on Leavanny and confirmed that it is knocked out. Referee "Leavanny is unable to battle Boldore wins". Chapter 667 - Relaxing And Answering Questions The whole gym is silent from the result of the battle, the oue was present in front of them out of nowhere catching them off-guard, the ending came when no one expected it toe, most of them thought that both pokemons would tire each other out. But things ended uppletely differently, Julian''s Boldore ended it with a Stone Edge, they have seen this Stone Edge before, it is the move that Julian favors a lot, many of his past battles have also ended with Stone Edge. ?? Julian won his third gym challenge in Unova and now he will have to face gym leaders who are a lot tougher than the first three, they will put a lot of pressure on their challengers but to Julian, it''s just another step till he reaches the league. Burgh walks towards Julian with a smile on his face, he is happy that he faced Julian and realized just how much he still has to improve, he is a good gym leader and he gave it all even though he didn''t have to, Julian appreciated this, Burgh then passed the Insect Badge to Julian. Julian took the badge as the crowd in the audience area cheered for him, they were really excited to see him battle, they were thanking their luck foring into the gym in the right time and witnessing the battle. Julian took the badge and quickly left before he gets caught by his crazy fans, without any guards and security around, he doesn''t want to meet his fans because it can cause a stampede, he doesn''t care about him being hurt because he can most just brush any iing danger off without even bothering about it but his fans might get hurt in the ruckus that can happen when his fans gather together. He quickly got on his bike and rode back to his hotel to rest for the day, luckily the hotel has a private lounge with everything that their guest might need, from spa to a swimming pool and even massagers for both humans and pokemons. Once he got there he asked the manager to send some massagers for his pokemons so they can loosen up while he takes a long rest in the spa. Hours pass and Julian is in the pool looking at the busy city of Castelia, then he suddenly noticed footstepsing towards him, he turned around and noticed that it was Yesh. Julian "Are you here to rx as well?" He asked. Yesh "No, I came to ask about a few stuff" Julian "Go ahead" Yesh "Did you watch the video of me battling with Ash" Julian "Yes, I did, what about it?" Yesh "What could have I done to win that battle?" Julian "Well with how it is right now, you couldn''t do anything, I was surprised it ended in a draw but good for you, I noticed you picked up really fast so I thought you did quite well" Yesh "That doesn''t answer my question" Julian "Well, if it was me, I would have tried to end the battle before it even got the chance to build up to that extent" Julian said and smiled. That is when Yesh realized something, Ash''s biggest problem has always been his start, if the battle keeps on going he gets in the zone and starts to outperform his opponents, the best way to beat Ash is to catch him off guard in the beginning and finish the battle before he could even get the chance to counter-attack. Julian always knew about this, he has seen Ash battle many times, he has seen Ash struggle with his start but he didn''t mention it, it is up to Ash to improve his mistake and his opponent''s to figure out Ash''s mistake, the only reason Julian gave this hint to Yesh is that he is his student now. Even if Yesh is able to defeat Ash in their next battle, Julian is not worried about it much, he has seen Ash pull of anything during his battle, he wanted to see what Ash can do when he is pushed back to a corner from which he cannot escape. To Julian, Ash was also like a student but he never agreed to tutor him but he was always interested in what Ash does and aplish as he is the main character of this world, staying close to this character is very important. Julian noticed that Yesh is still standing behind him staring at him. Julian "Go on, what else do you need?" Yesh "I saw your battle today in the Castelia gym" Julian "And?" Yesh "Why did you use Karrast when you could have used Darumaka and easily won" Julian "It''s not about winning, it''s about improving your pokemon and making them stronger. If you always use your strongest pokemon or a pokemon with an advantage over your opponents, the ones who don''t battle might get left behind, training is good but all that training you do needs to be put in practice as well so you can see if the training worked or not" Yesh "One more, why, hide the Feint Attack till the end, you had many chances to use it during the battle, why save it tillst?" Julian "Sometimes it better to hide the things in your arsenal, it might be helpful in some situation, of course, I could have used Feint Attack in during the battle and not hide till the end but it wouldn''t have be my final blow, my opponent could have seen iting, he might even have a counter for it, sometimes its better to be safe and hid a few things till the end, with opportunity arrives, struck using it and the victory will be yours" Yesh "That''s all I will be leaving then" Julian "Have you finished your gym battle?" Yesh "Yes" Julian "Good, then we will be leaving tomorrow" Julian informed Yesh so he will be ready for tomorrow, he doesn''t want to stay in this city for much longer, people areing from other cities just to see him, things might get worse if he continues to stay here so he should be moving. Chapter 668 - Towards Nimbasa City Before leaving the city Julian made his way towards a clothing shop to buy something new, his clothing style has been the biggest problem for him now, people are now staring at everyone who wears a ck coat and mask together. Some of them get chased down by Julian''s fans because they think it is Julian until they see that they were wrong and it is just another person wearing a ck coat and mask. ?? Julian pitied these people but he cannot do anything, he just hopes that people stop chasing anyone wearing a ck coat and mask as soon as they see them on the street. He made his way towards an expensive shop, not because he has too much money but they have fewer customerspared to a local shop and these people mind their own business, once Julian entered the shop he looked around for something simr to his dress but couldn''t find one, at the end of the day he had to go with a red leather jacket and jeans, he bought a bunch of different color t-shirts as well so people don''t notice his new clothing style as well. As a premium shop, the seller didn''t bother Julian much and he left quickly while putting on his new dress, just as he expected many didn''t notice him with the current clothes he is wearing now so he walked out of the shopping center and went back to the hotel. Yesh has already finished packing his stuff and is ready to leave as well. Since they have nothing to do, they left Castelia city. Now Julian has to choose a city to visit, unlike before where the road was just a straight line, Castelia city has many exit points and each road lead to different cities and parts of Unova, Julian takes out his phone to check on the map and see which is the best ce to visit next. After looking for a while he decided to head towards Nimbasa city, the most populous city in Unova, it is also the heart of business and economy of the Unova region. Nimbasa city is also known for their massive entertainment industry, most people who want to be a tv star in Unovae to Nimbasa city to start their career, Julian once heard from Chloe that she came here to shoot a movie as well. Julian looked further into the city and found that this city has many interesting things to offer, massive stadiums and small courts for sports, there are also Battle Institute and amusement parks as well. From the looks of it, Nimbasa City is one of the biggest city Julian will ever visit, knowing his destination he asked Yesh to hold on tight and he twisted the throttle on his bike which caused the front wheels to lift up in the air performing a wheelie which caused Yesh to exim in fear and held on tightly to Julian. Before Julian can reach Nimbasa city he has to go through the desert first and Julian knows how tough it is to cross a desert, luckily for them, there seems to be a desert resort halfway through the desert so they won''t have to sleep on top of the desert sand for weeks. Julian also ns to catch some pokemons during their way towards Nimbasa city, he saw that there are sightings of some rare pokemons in the desert, maybe he will get lucky and encounter some. Yesh also ns to catch some pokemons as well as his current team only consist of three pokemons, Mawile, Croagunk, and Drilbur. He needs some new pokemons to build up his team properly before he can participate in the league. Julian and Yesh soon exited Castelia city and headed towards the desert road, the first half of the road was quite normal but they soon started to feel the changes in the surrounding, the air was much dryer and dust was blowing around quite often. Soon the road started to get bumpy and slippery due to the gravel and sand on the road, luckily the off-road tiers were quite handy and Julian has experience riding on sandy surfaces. Riding through a desert is a lot harder, for Julian it is not a big deal but for Yesh, it is, he has to constantly keep his body hydrated and drink water, after riding for half a day Julian decided to stop and set up a camp. He could tell that a sandstorm mighte so it is better to set up a camp rather than continuing the journey forward, the day will soone to an end as well so its better to camp now, after finding a ce to camp, Julian asked Yesh to set down two tents. After Yesh was done he doubled checked them if they are sturdy or not as sand storms can get very nasty and blow it off, after double-checking and confirming that everything is good Julian set up some bowls for his pokemon to eat. After the sand storm, it would not be idle for eating and the temperature around the dessert will get very cold which is not idle for Yesh and some pokemons. Calling it a day Julian headed back to his tent and sent Yesh to his, just like he predicted the sand storm came and tried to blow off the tent but it was not able to, as the sand storm ended the shape of the desert changed again and the temperature dropped down to -4 degrees. In this freezing cold night, Julian sent out Infernape to heat up the area so Yesh doesn''t freeze inside his tent since Yesh is traveling with him, it is his responsibility to take care of him. Chapter 669 - Desert Resort The whole night was cold but Infernape was able to maintain a constant temperature around the tents so Yesh didn''t catch a cold. A new day arrived and the desert returned to its previous temperature, the sun is high up in the sky, and pokemons of the night are digging back into the dept of the sand while the pokemons of the day areing out to bath in the desert sun. ?? Yesh said he wanted to catch a pokemon today so Julian decided to follow him around and see what pokemon he chooses for his team, Julian followed Yesh around the desert as he searched for pokemons to catch. Yesh is being very smart with his choice. Since he already has a ground type he is avoiding pokemons like Sandile and Hippopotas, Julian noticed some Braviarys flying up in the sky, being a top predator many pokemons fear these fierce pokemon. As soon as a Braviary fly up in the sky, the pokemons around the area dig into the ground and hide, making it even harder for Yesh to find a pokemon. If It was Julian he would try to find the area where the Braviary stay because they are very powerful pokemons and even Julian is considering to catch one but he is waiting for something else, he has a pokemon in his mind but it will be very hard to findpared to the Braviary or its pre-evolution. After walking under the desert heat for quite a long time, Yesh seem to have finally found a pokemon he is interested in, a group of Vuby which seems to be preying on a dead desert lizard, Vubys are dark/ flying type pokemon and they have only four weaknesses, three resistance and two immunity which makes them a very good pokemon. Vubys cannot fly due to their small wings but they protect themselves by creating an armor made of bones of other pokemons around them, the half-cracked eggshell that Julian and Yesh can see around these Vubys are made from the bones of other pokemons. Yesh quickly sent out his Drilbur and targeted the strongest Vuby in the group, seeing a pokemon just attacked them, the Vuby tried to escape and most of them did, except the one targeted by Yesh. After easily defeating the Vuby, Yesh threw a Pokeball and caught it very easily, as the capture wasplete Julian sensed something flying towards them at high speed, he turned around and noticed that it is a Braviary. It seems to be targeting Yesh, and to be more specific, his Pokeball that just captured the Vuby. Julian "Looking for an easy meal I guess" Julian said and signaled Gengar to scare it away, as the Braviary got closer it suddenly felt dangering from the ground, it was so fierce that it even forgot to p its wings and fly away, the Braviary crashed into the desert sand beak first as its head dug in deep. It then quickly pulled out its head and looked around scared for its life, wanting to take no chance it pped its wings and flew away. Yesh also picked up his Pokeball that contains his new pokemon, a dark/flying type is indeed a good typing and its evolution Mandibuzz are known for their bulky build and how good they are at taking hits, they can be serious tanks for a team, the only problem is that they take very long to evolve. Luckily Vubys are strong in their base form as well, they can easily fight a Butterfree or a Beedrill that are the same level as a Vuby. Julian "I think we should be moving now, the temperature will get much hotter here, its best to keep moving" Julian said and told Yesh to get ready, they returned back to their campsite and packed up their belonging before leaving. It will take them two days to reach the desert resort that is further down this long and dry road filled with cracks and potholes. After two days of riding Julian finally arrived at the Join Avenue, this is like a little market between Castelia City and Nimbasa city for the trainers and travelers to take the roadway, this little market is filled with all type of good that a trainer might need for his travel, from pokemon food to trainer gadgets. Julian is surprised how good the service this small market offer for travelers, after taking a look around the avenue, Julian and Yesh headed towards the desert resort, they have not slept properly for a few days now and they are a little fatigue. When Julian and Yesh entered the Desert Resort, Julian is stunned by the number of trainers and travelers that are in here, thankfully the resort is massive so people won''t have to share rooms with each other, Julian and Yesh both got a room for themselves to spend a few days here. Both of them decided to stay in the resort for a few days before hitting the road again, Julian also wanted to go deeper into the desert area because he has heard of a ce called the Relic Castle, rumors have it that this castle is home to a very strong pokemon and it will attack anyone that gets closer to the castle. Julian knew when a pokemon gets very aggressive, it is either to territorial or it is protecting something very precious, he wants to see what this pokemon is and what it is protecting. Chapter 670 - More History About The Dragons After arriving at the Desert resort, Julian decided to give a quick bath to all his pokemons, being exposed to all the desert sand has caused some of them to have itchy fur and they constantly keep scratching their body. Once everything was dealt with Julian decided to head towards the Relic Castle as he wants to see what pokemon is it that keeps chasing the travelers and trainers away from the castle. ?? As he walked out of the resort he noticed a group of people standing in front of the resort talking to someone, this person looked like some kind of guide to this ce. Julian joined the group and found that they are heading towards the Relic Castle as well. Since they are going their Julian decided to tag along, a little history lesson might help Julian to understand a little more about this relic castle. Julian has no idea what it is like and why it is called the relic castle but it will be interesting to find out about them and what was it built for. After half an hour the expedition group starts to move and along with them Julian follows along, it didn''t take them long to reach the Relic Castle as they were on a tour van which was special built to ride on the sandy desert. When Julian got the first nce of the ce he realized that the Relic Castle is not just a castle but ruins of a city that seems to be about thousands of years old. Julian got curious as to why the city was abandoned and it turned into such state. Julian is not the only one that had this question, many people on the touring van had the same question and one of them asked the guide to exin it to them. The guide was a very knowledgeable person and he seems to know the history behind this ce, hearing the question from the tourists, he put on a proud smile for knowing the answer and started to exin. "All of you might have heard about the Twin heroes of Unova right?" He asked to which most of the people on the van nodded their head in excitement as everyone loves a heroic figure from the history and especially when they are rted to their own region. "After the Twin Heros'' separated from each other because of their idles, the legendary dragon that both of them shared ownership on also separated but into three forms, one part followed the hero who pursued truth and that dragon was Reshiram and the other part of the dragon followed the hero that pursued idles and that dragon was Zekrom, while the third part, the dragon Kyurem went missing. It is believed that one of the heroes and his dragon pokemon created this city about 2500 years ago and when the two heroes went into battle and both their dragons turned into stones called the Dragon Stones. But that is not all. After the dragons turned into stone the chaos that they left behind from their battle was devastating, the city of the twin heroes, the city of the vale was the one that suffered everything, it was said that a dragonic force protected the city from all dangers. But the battle of the two dragons caused the force to be chaotic and everything was getting destroyed by it, the King of the People of Vale, father of the twin heroes knew he had to do something, he cannot let innocent people die because of his sons'' mistakes, so he asked the help of the Mythical Pokemon Victini. He asked the Mythical Pokemon Victini to help him move the Sword of the Vale to an area that is not affected by the chaotic dragon force, the Sword of the Vale is, of course, the capital city of Vale, with the help of Victini''s power, the massive city was lifted from its roots and then moved to a safe location far from the chaotic area. This ce is now called the Eindoak Town, if you ever go there you can see the Sword of the Vale, it is really shaped like a sword. Now back to the story. The king and the Victini sessfully saved the people of the Vale and everyone was happy, but the happiness didn''tst long as the king died after a short time period, it is also said that the Victini that helped him was identally trapped inside the Sword of the Vale''s barrier, seeing the destruction the two brothers caused because of their battle, they were embarrassed, they realized that no one should possess powers that are Reshiram and Zekrom so they hid the dragon stones far from the public eye never to be seen ever again. Along with the twin heroes, this magnificent city that one of them built also was abandoned and left to rot under the desert sand" The guide finally finished his long history lesson, even though he didn''t get to the point directly, Julian still appreciated the information he received from the guide''s story, he didn''t expect such aplex history behind Zekrom and Reshiram, and also the third part of the main dragon, the Kyurem. He is also interested in visiting this ce called the Eindoak town that has the Sword of the Vale and a trapped Victini inside. As Julian was going through all the information that was given to him the van stopped. "We should head by foot from here as the van cannot go inside the relic" The guide said and asked everyone to get out of the van, Julian put all the thought at the back of his mind and got out with the group of people and finally got the full view of this ruins. Chapter 671 - An Old Pokemon Julian stayed behind the group of people that was guided by the guide as he showed them around the ruined city, the city was quite broken, the sands of time had destroyed them, some of them were totally covered in sand while of then they were cracked and broken. The group continued forward carefully as the guide warned them and told them not to panic if something attacked them out of nowhere, the guild told them that they won''t get hurt no matter what. ?? Even though this message from him caused a stir in the group it is still better to be warned, if he didn''t warn them, any attack from a pokemon might cause huge panic in the group. Soon the whole group reached the center of the ruined city, the guide became quite while introducing the are to the tourist, the tourists felt that something was wrong seeing the guide has turned silent. As the guide was doing his work, a beam of fire shot out of the main castle in the middle of the city towards the tourist group, luckily the beam stopped right in front of the group and didn''t touch anyone. But this, of course, caused panic in the group and since the guide had already warned them about this, most of them hid behind the guide as he escorted them away from the area. Julian, on the other hand, separated himself from the group as he was more interested in that fire type attack that was thrown at the group. He made his way towards the castle in the middle silently, he hid his aura from whatever that was inside, he didn''t want to battle it after seeing how weak the structure of this castle really is. He knows that even a small explosion might bring the whole structure down, as he entered the castle while hiding his aura he found nothing except cracked and broken walls, the pokemon that had attacked the group went away as it couldn''t sense anyone near the castle. Julian looked around the castle wall and noticed some etchings of pokemons on them, he went deeper into the castle, and from the looks of it, it looked like any normal old castle, there was nothing special about it from the front. But Julian soon found a passageway which led deeper underground, now he is really interested to see what is really under this castle, this passageway is quite well hidden, without proper light source one won''t be able to see the entrance at all and this ce is quite dark. He went down the passage slowly while maintaining his slow pace and hiding his aura so that he won''t alert the pokemon that is inside. It didn''t take him long to soon find himself inside a maze, if normal people were stuck here they would think they are just going round and round around the ce, but Julian could tell that he is going down. On his way, he found some pokemons that were hiding inside the cracks of the wall or pirs that seem to be supporting this underground structure. After a while going down this maze, Julian soon found the pokemon that was behind all those attacks and he was surprised to see this pokemon, it is none other than a Volcarona, this pokemon has been in many Unova legends and they are known for their power. They are also called the Sun pokemon as they act as a recement for the sun sometimes for the people, in ancient legends they were described as legendary pokemons because of how they helped people during tough times but with modern standards they are not considered a legendary. As they are weakerpared to a Pseudo legendary, let alone a normal one, but still a very powerful pokemon, Julian gets excited seeing this pokemon as it is one of the pokemons he had in mind and he wanted to catch a pre-evolved form, too bad this one is already evolved and from the looks of it, it is near the end of its life. At the end of the day, no matter how strong a pokemon or a person is, death is the ultimate end of anything, Julian wondered as he saw this Volcarona, even at its weakest state, it was able tounch such a powerful attack before, even though it seemed like a warning shot, it still held a lot of power and Julian felt it. He wondered how powerful this thing really was at its prime, he looked around the area and noticed that the Volcarona is actually guarding something behind it, he doesn''t know what it is but it was releasing a faint light from it. Julian knew this is something rare and he has to check it out but without hurting the Volcarona in any way, its state was already bad from old age, he doesn''t need to bully it as well. He slowly got out of his hiding spot while releasing his aura to alert the Volcarona while also letting it calm down by sensing he has no ill intention. This stunt of course caught Volcarona''s attention just like Julian expected but instead of being calm, it attacked Julian as soon as it saw him with a methrower. Chapter 683 - Battle Institute (2) Julian knew he has to provide his identity if he wants to walk in and experience what is inside the Battle Institute so he put his hand inside his pouch to take out his ID. "Hey move aside" ?? Julian suddenly heard someone from behind, he turned around and noticed a tall man wearing a tight fit white shirt and pants walk towards the entrance, Julian didn''t know who this person is but seeing the reaction of the people around the area and how crazily they are reacting to him, he guessed it is someone famous and important. "Just not anyone cane here and walk into the Institute, go back to where you came from or move aside" The man said and walked right in, the guards didn''t stop him as he is the member of the Institute, the guard just looked apologetically at Julian for that man''s rude behavior but they couldn''t do anything, they are powerless. Julian shook his head while also listening to the crowd behind him, they give a lot of information about people they worship. "Oh my god, it was David Alester, I can''t believe I saw him today" One of them said. "I heard that he will be participating in this years Unova league to battle Champion Julian and defeat him in the finals" Another person said. "Haha, in his dreams, he won''t even worth Champion Julian''s shoe, he should feel satisfied with his life if he ever stands in front of Julian and worships him" As soon as Julian heard this, he knew one of his crazy toxic fans are here as well so he quickly pulled out his ID and showed it to the guard so he can get in quickly. One of the guards took the ID and looked at it, as soon as he did, he froze and looked at Julian with wide eyes, he is shocked and couldn''t believe what he is seeing, seeing the guard''s reaction, Julian quickly signaled him to stay silent. The guard quickly calmed down and showed the ID to his partner, his partner was also about to shout but Julian signaled him to stop as well, knowing who is standing in front of them, the guards quickly moved to the side and gave his card back. They were shocked that Julian himself came here, they also realized that David Alester fucked up very bad. Some of the people outside saw Julian entering the Institute and they also noticed how respectful the guards were to him, some reporters clicked his photo from behind while other started to specte who this person could be. Julian didn''t bother with this much and walked in, he is surprised as he saw the interior of this building, everything here is very grand and big, the arts on the wall is beautiful, whoever made them must be very famous and talented. He soon found himself in front of reception, well it looked like a reception as ady is standing behind the desk smiling at Julian. "You must be a new visitor, let me help you and make a pass for you so you don''t have to show your ID anymore in other Battle Institutes in Unova and other regions as well, please give me your ID so I can register you in the database" Thedy said with a smile on her face, Julian nodded and gave his ID to thedy, as she received it and took a look at it, she got stunned, after a few seconds she looked at Julian and back at the ID, Julian expected this reaction, well he couldn''t me them as his poprity have been growing crazily ever since his battle in Sinnoh league and his little stunt after than. Thedy got a little flustered as she didn''t expect The Julian toe here himself. Julian "Is there something wrong?" Julian asked. He didn''t want to embarrass her so he decided to help her, she snapped out and shook her head and quickly entered Julian into the Database and returned back his ID to him. "Can I get an autograph?" She asked blushing, Julian smiled and nodded, she quickly gave a pen and her diary to Julian to sign on, he sighed it and gave it back and also started to ask questions about how things work in the Institute. After a few minutes everything became clear, he could hide his identity inside the Insititute if he wants and no one will be able to look into it, except the boss of the Institute, trainers can do whatever they want, they can show who they are or hide their identity, it depended on them. He also learned that trainers can challenge anyone inside the Institute but their pokemons have to be at the same level for the battle to be official, all these battles are recorded as well and whoever has the best record is the king of the Institute. To be the king one needs to win more battles, even if a trainer defeated the current king they need to have more wins in his record than the current king to take his ce. This was a very unique way of seeing it but Julian liked the idea, sometimes a win can depend on luck so if a trainer wins by luck he might get the title of the king but they might soon get defeated again, but if the trainer is really skillful and won based on their skill, they will get the title of the king down the line and prove that they are the best at what they do. Chapter 684 - Battle In The Institute With all the information in his hand, Julian decided to walk into the main area where most trainers hangout, as he looked around he saw many trainers, some covered their faces just like him as they didn''t want to show who they are while some did. These people had their own group, the ones who hid their faces stayed in one group as they feltfortable and same could be said for the ones that showed their faces, there is also the third group who don''t care about anything and just want to battle, they are mixed with people who covered their faces and the ones who don''t ?? Julian looked around for a while to get a better feel of the surrounding, this ce is where most trainers interact and challenge other trainers. If both parties agree to battle, they will head towards the battlefield and battle each other, their battle will be recorded and entered into the Database determining their ranks in the Battle Institute forum. As Julian looked around he noticed two trainers started to bicker and exchange words with one another and seeing the reaction of the other trainers around the room, Julian could tell this is a normal urrence in this room where two trainers with massive egos exchange words, Julian is not surprised by this at all because this can happen when two trainers with equal strength and ego sh. Julian thought this was interesting and got closer to see how this little y goes forward, just like he expected both of them decided to battle it out and prove for once and for all on who is the better trainer. Both trainers rushed down towards the battlefield that is actually a level below this room, Julian noticed trainers walking towards a ck ss along the walls, as he looked closer he realized that these are not normal walls and they are very thick, about 7-inch thick ss. As Julian got closer to the ss wall the ck color suddenly shifted to a see-through one and he could clearly see the battlefield down below this room. He noticed the two trainers arriving at the battlefield, one of them is a young man who seems to be in histe 20s while the other is in his early 20s, as they took their position, the disy in the middle of the battlefield lit up. Julian could clearly see it as it is right in front of his eyes, the screen lit up and disyed the information about the two trainers, the screen disyed their stats which consisted of their wins, losses, and draws. Their names were not disyed, instead, they had a unique ID of their own, if they want they could change it to their names but this unique ID will still be beside their names as it is the only way to identify a particr trainer in the Battle Institute. Julian also has his own unique ID which is 69420. The battle started and both trainers sent out their pokemons, the younger trainer sent out his Aggron while the older one sent out his Magmortar, Julian took a look at these pokemons and was impressed, just like the rumors said, the trainers who train here are very strong. Both these trainers can easily get into the top 64 of a league, they soon started to battle and the explosion caused by the sh of their attacks shook the whole battleground but one the other side of the ss the trainers could feel nothing, once again Julian was impressed by the technology they put into this building for elite trainers. As the battle continued Magmortar started to gain the upper hand because its arsenal is filled with Fighting-type moves, Julian just watched this and focused on the battle, he thought this is very interesting, other than the league Julian doesn''t watch many battles that other trainers participate in as he is always traveling, getting to see how other people battle can help him in many ways, sometimes it inspires him toe up with many new moves. Julian has even copied some, especially from Ash, and modified a little to his liking and suit his battle style, he noticed some interesting things on how these trainers battle, for example, these two trainers have Avery simr battle style and that is ying very aggressive, even after getting hit, they don''t back down and continue their attacks, it looks like they depend on their stamina and defense a lot. It is a risky strategy but seeing how strong their pokemons attacks are, they just need a good hit to finish the battle and the battle will be theirs. "Who is gonna win?" Julian suddenly heard a voice from his right, he turned around and noticed a woman with short red hair standing next to him, she hasn''t covered her face and she is quite beautiful. "The trainer with Aggron" Julian said. "How can you tell that?" She asked. "You will see within a few seconds... Wait, never mind here it is" As soon as Julian said this, the Magmortar took a step forward to hit the Aggron with a Focus Punch and finish the battle, the ground beneath its feet suddenly caved in and it lost its bnce and missed the Focus Punch, using this as his opportunity the Aggron trainer called out for a Head Smash. The Head Smash got delivered right on the Magmortar''s forehead and it was all over, the Magmortar crashed down and fainted, the older trainer was shocked by this oue, he was clearly winning but he didn''t expect this sudden turn of event. The girl who was next to Julian was also shocked by this oue with the rest of the trainers in the room, it was clear as the day that the Magmortar trainer is going to win but thepletely opposite happened, the girl looked at Julian in surprise. "How did you know?" She asked. She is curious to know how Julian figured it out. "The ground was about to break sooner orter, that Aggron is too heavy and the ground beneath its feet was already under a lot of stress as its leg kept putting pressure on them with all those attacks it resisted. That Magmortar got a little too confident and stepped into Aggron''s side while using a very powerful move, putting enough pressure to crack the ground and there it was, it missed and Aggron won. Sometimes it just the luck of the trainer" Hearing Julian''s exnation was a little ridiculous but it also made sense, this also proved how good Julian was at observing his surrounding, every change in the battlefield is being registered by him, he knows how to avoid an ident and also use these changes to his advantages. Chapter 674 - Arriving At Nimbasa City Julian and Yesh stayed in the resort for two days and took a long rest before continuing their journey again, thanks to all the things that were avable in the resort they were able to rest up properly and get rid of all their fatigue. Another long ride began on Julian''s bike towards Nimbasa city, the desert sands were harsh sometimes as sand storms came out of nowhere and caught them by surprise but they got through it, after three days of travel they finally reached the borders of the desert where the sand was less and both of them could see the massive city of Nimbasa in front of them. ?? Julian and Yesh who are covered in desert sand looked in a very bad state, if they had entered the city on foot they would get many stares from people of the city as the people who live there are richer than the most average families in Unova. Julian drove directly to a hotel and booked a room for him and another one for Yesh, after getting in his room he did the basic thing and that is to clean himself and his pokemon, a desert ride can be very dirty. After everything was done Julian took a seat on the couch and decided to look into Nimbasa city and what he can do here, what he should do first before challenging the pokemon gym here. As he was going through all the articles rted to Nimbasa city, he found a link to another newsletter about the teleportation device, he then remembered that Kukui said that he will be in Nimbasa city and continue to further better the teleportation machine that he and his team built, he also read that the first Teleportation device will be installed here in Nimbasa city in Unova and one in Kalos. Making it so that teleportation between two regions can be done within a few seconds, hearing this Julian got a little excited, if that is the case, he can go and meet Daisy and Chloe whenever he wants, if they built one in Sinnoh, he will be able to visit Cynthia as well. And it looks like this project is being held in ab near Rondez-View Ferris Wheel, Julian looked into this and see where this Ferris Wheel is located, he thought of giving a quick visit to his friend Kukui and see what he is up to. As he looked into the Ferris wheel location he realized that this Ferris wheel was only for couples. Julian "That''s discriminating, what about those poor people who have no boyfriend and girlfriend, even they would want to look at the view of Nimbasa city from the top, also what about people who have more than one boyfriend and girlfriend, where will they sit?" He said cursing at the rules of the Ferris Wheel, he then looked into other things as well. Like the Battle Institute, a institute for elite pokemon trainers, in this institute, strong trainers can have a mock battle against each other to improve their skills, after reading this, Julian decided that he will give this a go as well, it will be the best way for his pokemons to get ready for their uing pokemon gym challenge. The battle institute has very strict rules as well, mature trainers who have just began their journey cannot participate in any kind of mock battles, it was exclusive to the elites who have been in multiple official league battles and have entered the top 32 in the league from any region. Julian once saw a battle Institute in Hoenn but he didn''t give it a shot, now he is thinking about it as it will help his pokemons hone their battle instincts more as they will be facing off against an experienced fighter who has won a lot of battle in their careers. There is also a thing called the Gear Station which Julian couldn''t understand what it was meant for, it seems to be a subway but there is more to it than just being a normal subway, then there is the movie industry and a musical theater which is massive. Many concerts and operas are held here and people from all around thee to check out their favorite star, sing, and dance here. After figuring out all the tourist spots, Julian looked into the Nimbasa gym, his primary goal, and see how good the gym leader of this gym really is. The Nimbasa city gym is an electric type gym so using Drilbur will make sense, the gym leader of this gym is a young woman named Elesa, she is known for being very hard on her challengers and most of them fail in defeating her the first time. Well Julian expected no less from her because she is the court gym that most trainers challenge and it is her duty to show the trainers that things will be much harder from here on, her team is made of Emolga the Electric/Flying-type pokemon, a very good pokemon typing and many trainers would want to have a pokemon like this in their team, with only two weaknesses, five resistance, and one immunity but if it has the Ability Motordrive, it will have two immunity. Emolga is a pokemon to watch out for, luckily for her challengers, Emolga is not good at defense and one good hit can end it all, her next pokemon is Eelektrik, a pure Electric-type, and a second stage evolution, nothing stands out much about this pokemon but it is a well-bnced pokemon with all of its stats being better than average except its speed. And her ace seems to be a Zebstrika, a very fast pokemon with very good attack power, this will be the most troublesome as Julian''s pokemon are not fast and he needs to find another way to take this one down. After looking through everything, he put his phone aside and took a rest, clearing his mind from all worldly matters. Chapter 675 - Visiting The Lab A new day and Julian woke up from his bed and looked at Crystal who is awake and sitting next to the egg incubator and looking at the egg, swaying its body side to side. Julia smiled as Crystal will always put a smile on his face no matter where he is and what he is doing, after giving Crystal soon MooMoo milk he went into the bathroom because he knows Crystal gets bored very easily and will cause havoc if he is not on the lookout so giving it something to eat or drink will keep it busy. ?? He then proceeded to do his normal daily routine before heading out with Crystal and putting the egg incubator back into his pouch, as he is wearing a new set of clothes the public on the street didn''t recognize him, this made it a lot easier for him to walk around the city without getting much attention from people. He decided to visit his friend Kukui and see what he is doing right now, the Rondez-View Ferris wheel is a massive tourist attraction for couples and it is very easy to find, it didn''t take Julian long before he got there. Once he got there he noticed that the Ferris wheel is not the only thing that is there for entertainment and enjoyment of tourist, there were things that single people can enjoy such as shooting and target games, ring and ball games and many more, there were some food stalls around selling many different things and they were surrounded by couples who wanted to eat together. Julian didn''t stand there for much longer because he noticed that most of the people who visit this area are tourists and the ones who are all alone just stand at the corner and mind their own business and stare at women. Suddenly Julian realized something, he looked exactly like these single men, wearing a mask to cover their faces while looking at couples, he suddenly felt disgusted and ran walked away quickly not wanting to stay there anymore. Lucky for him no one was staring at him with suspicion, he soon found theb where Kukui and his team are, during their research on the teleportation device. As he walked towards theb entrance, two guards holding guns stopped him in his tracks. "Sir, please leave, unauthorized personal are not allowed to enter" The guard said and stopped Julian, they are also showing a little hostility to intimidate Julian so that he would run away and don''t bother people inside. Julian "I am here to meet my friend, Professor Kukui, you should ask him" Julian informed them, he knows that this ismon, they are just doing their jobs by keeping people away from the building and they have to be intimidating because sometimes people don''t understand simplenguage and start to cause a scene. Julian was as polite as he could be while requesting them to talk to Kukui about him. The guard looked at him then pressed a button on his earpiece to talk to someone from inside, soon he received a message back from inside. "I am told that Professor Kukui isn''t expecting anyone, please leave and don''t cause any trouble" The guard said, this time he was harsher with his tone, well it was suspicious as Julian''s face is covered. Julian sighed and removed his mask showing his face to the guards. Julian "It''s me, Professor Kukui, is my friend, tell him I am here to see him" Seeing that it was none other than Julian the two guards panicked as who won''t know Julian by now, they quickly informed the staff member inside to ask if Julian is allowed to go inside or not. Even if it is someone famous, they have to follow protocol and don''t allow anyone in, no matter how much power the person holds, Julian just waited for a while before he got his answer. The guards moved to the side while opening the door for him to walk in, as Julian walked in he saw a woman standing there smiling at him, looks like the whole building knows that Julian is here, this is what he didn''t want. He smiled at her and walked towards her, she bowed her head and introduced herself, she is the receptionist of thisb and is in charge all handling all equipment in theb, Julian just nodded because he doesn''t need to introduce himself. The woman then escorted him towards the main researchb where most of the professors and scientists are right now. When Julian entered everyone approached him and introduced themselves, it was all normal courtesy to greet each other and all of them wanted to build a good rtionship with Julian as he is not only a famous undefeated trainer but also the owner of a massive corporation. If they are able to get in good terms with him, they believe that Julian might want to invest in their projects and fund it, all scientist always want a private deal with a private yer as government funds cannot always be there to help them. Julian also greeted them with smile as he knew most of the people are are very intelligent people and having a rtionship with them can help him and his corporation a lot, it is a "give and take" situation for both parties. Julian then noticed Kukui and walked towards him. Julian "How is it going with the machine?" He asked. Kukui "Everything is going smooth, we will be able to start construction within a month, we just need to league so sign of a few documents before everything starts" Kukui said andughed as he knows this massive project of his will make him very rich which will help him invest in his future research and projects. Julian "Good, I wanted to see how things were going since thest incident, I hope those Team sma people didn''t cause any trouble" Kukui "No, not at all, everything is fine, thanks for the concern though" Julian "No problem" As they were talking they suddenly heard an explosion on the upper floor which caused the whole building to shake and many people fell on the ground as they couldn''t keep their bnce. Julian "Shit, what just happened?" Chapter 676 - Poor Victim Julian cursed his luck as he knew something bad just happened, it was not an earthquake but someone blew up the roof of this building. Julian "Everyone, stay calm and don''t panic" ?? Julian said with a firm voice and calmed everyone down, they had no reason to be afraid as Julian is here and even Professor Kukui is known for having very powerful pokemons that rival the power of a champion level pokemon. Once everyone was calm Julian decided to take a look and see what is happening but he wouldn''t leave this ce because someone can attack from elsewhere as well. Julian [Gengar take a look and see who the guest are] Julian told Gengar to check out the problem and see what is happening, soon a ck shadow separated from Julian''s shadow and went upstairs, the people inside the room saw this and were scared out of their mind, they also realized that they were constant watch under a pokemon and no one noticed it at all, this showed how scary Julian can be. Gengar did just as Julian said and went up the floor and noticed a lot of guards rushing upwards with their guns and a pokemon by their side, as soon as they took a turn to climb up a stair, they came tumbling down, it looks like they got attacked. Gengar got curious and moved forward to see what happened and noticed some men in ck uniforms standing there with their pokemons as they had a grin on their faces. Julian could also see this and instantly realized who they are, it was Team sma. Julian ''These idiots, why are they so unlucky'' Julian thought as he knew bad things are going to happen to them as Gengar is right there watching them with that massive grin on his face, he might just care them out of their mind or mess with them very badly. As Gengar decided to step in, he noticed more guards rushed towards the area with guns and pokemons behind them, when they saw a lot of theirrades are down they became alert and slowed down while aiming at the stairs while telling their pokemon to attack sight. This is going to be messy, as soon as Team sma rushed down they also started to attack as they were expecting it, shots were fired at both sides, luckily they were non-lethal but they will still break bones if onended and hit them in the ribs or shoulders. Gengar just watched with a grin and he has alreadye up with a way to mess with the Team sma members, as soon as their rounds ended they took cover behind a wall, reloading their guns. Just as they were doing so, Gengar appeared behind one of them and grabbed the man''s gun and pointed it towards the other sma member''s ass, the person with the gun is surprised by the sudden change in the weight of the gun, he couldn''t tell what is happening. That is when he suddenly felt himself being pulled and the next thing he knew is that his gun barrel is right up his teammate''s asshole. The man is shocked with no knowledge about what just happened while his teammate suddenly let out a loud yelp like a dog, everyone heard this and looked at the man still holding the gun in his hand, luckily it has no bullet inside it or things would have been much different. When the other members of the Team sma saw this, they were stunned, they didn''t even know what to say, while the women in the group were disgusted by seeing this and they titled the innocent man as pervert while maintaining some distance. The Team sma victim didn''t know how things were so bad for him under a second, first, he felt his gun bing very heavy then he saw his gun up in his partner''s ass and now everyone is looking at him disgust, he doesn''t even know what to say because he cannot exin what just happened. As the whole team was confused on what just happened, the guards took advantage of this and attacked sessfully gaining the upper hand, a pokemon from the guards'' side used String Shot and tied up every one of them leaving them so ce to escape. Just like that the whole situation changed and everyone in the Team sma is ming the victim while he doesn''t even know why this is happening, he just wants to cry and use a pillow to cover his face while doing so. Julian who was with the scientist and professor almost broke intoughter after witnessing that and he is trying very hard to hold back hisughter while Gengar isughing his ass off while looking at his innocent victims. As Julian was trying to hold back, another explosion took ce right behind him and a huge hole was created right in the wall, suddenly multiple Team sma members rushed in with their pokemons. Julian realized that the members up there were distractions so all the guards get upied while this main force take down Kukui''s group. Chapter 677 - Zinzolin Julian turned towards the massive wall in the room as he saw many Team sma members rush in with their pokemons and surrounded the professors and scientists in the room. They are clearly here to steal Kukui''s project, Julian doesn''t know why they are after it but it could be really bad if they got their hands on something like this. ?? Kukui''s teleportation machine can generate a lot of energy and he has created it so that the people won''t get hurt by it, but someone can reverse engineer it and use it for something elsepletely. Julian has no idea what they are trying to create from Kukui''s machine but he knows one thing and that is to never let it fall in the wrong hands. Julian then saw an old man wearing a very weird dress walk in with the grunts, he is wearing a very thick purple coat that looks like a body tent and also a very long purple hat, he has white hair and very slim face. He has a wide smile on his face as well, he walked in with confidence as if nothing bad is going to happen to him, Julian looked at this man and knew this one is some dangerous, even though he didn''t show any type on animosity towards Kukui and his group, he had this aura of superiority on him. Julian could tell that this man is looking down on everyone in this room, even his own followers that are behind him, it was as if everyone is just insects in front of his eyes. "Let me introduce my self, my name is Zinzolin, one of the seven sages and I wanted you to just hand over that little machine of yours and all the research and documents rted to it so things don''t end up badly" This man who called himself Zinzolin said, even when he talked he showed no signs of evil instinct or animosity towards Julian and the group, it was as if he was just a very self-centered person who cared about nobody but himself and didn''t bother with other people. Kukui "Why should I give you guys the project that I spent so many years in creating?" Kukui asked. He is very angry at these people as they have been constantly in his mind bothering him, every day he wakes up he thinks that they will attack out of nowhere and try to steal his project. Everyone could tell that Kukui is frustrated by this, Zinzolin looks at Kukui and smiles. Zinzolin "Look, kid, I don''t have anything but a little respect for you for creating such a good thing but what is the use of giving such a beautiful thing to the locals, this belongs to people like us who are above others and of course with a little reverse engineering, this will be a fine piece of work in my collection" Zinzolin said and smiled. Kukui "Like in hell you are going to take it away from here, Incineroare out" Kukui sent out his Incineroar to deal with these people. Zinzolin "Deal with him while I take a look at this beautiful piece of work" Zinzolin said and stepped back as a lot of grunts stepped in and sent out their pokemon to take down Kukui''s Incineroar, these grunts seems to the elite members of Team sma as the pokemons they sent out were all in their final evolution state and all of them looked very strong. Kukui was no way backing down and sent out another two pokemons to fight back, Braviary and Lucario, a massive battle was about to begin so most of the people who couldn''t battle stepped back but some who had strong pokemons stepped in to help Kukui. Seeing that everyone is in a standstill, waiting for the other party to attack, Julian looked at Zinzolin who is heading towards the Teleportation machine that is collected to a massive supeputer. Julian decided to stop this old man from doing anything, as soon as he moved the exchange of moves between the two parties started, Kukui and his group were holding up pretty well as Kukui is very strong, his pokemons are able to handle most of the grunt''s pokemon. As Julian walked towards Zinzolin explosion went off behind him, it was like a movie scene, well this is how it yed in Julian''s head. Julian "Old man, you should stop" Julian said and he watched Zinzolin trying to touch the Teleportation machine, Zinzolin stopped and turned around to see a young man in a red jacket and a mask over his have. Zinzolin "Young man, that''s very rude, I already introduced myself and told you my name as well, you should at least use my name and put a little respect behind it" Zinzolin said but still with a straight face and a smile, it sounded like he was offended but he didn''t show any emotions regarding it. Julian "Whatever, you cannot touch that, I advice you to get out of here with your little ygroup and don''t bother Kukui again" Julian said warning him to back off. Zinzolin "You are an annoying one, young man, I should teach you a lesson" Zinzolin said and released a pokemon from his Pokeball, a Weavile and a very strong one, Julian could see it but it is nothing to worry about, he looked at his front pocket and tapped it lightly, suddenly Crystal popped its head out and looked curiously as what is going on. Seeing that Julian is calling it for a battle, it got excited and floated out happily and circled around him, Crystal usually doesn''t like to battle seriously, it only does it when there is a reward or if it is ying with its friends. Seeing the Weavile in front of it Crystal got happy, Gengar has rubbed on Crystal more than anyone so it knows how fun it is to mess with other pokemons and people, too bad Julian doesn''t allow it to do much so getting this chance is really exciting for Crystal. Zinzolin sees this weird two-tail little pokemon and suddenly realized that something is very wrong, and something shes in his mind as he looks at Julian in shock. Chapter 678 - Fun And Games Zinzolin realized who is this person that is standing in front of him, he also realized that he is in the wrong ce at the wrong time, he has seen this little monster on the TV and saw how easily it handled its opponent during the Sinnoh League. Zinzolin "Ah, looks like I messed with the wrong person today, my bad, but I would still like to test you a little, Mister Julian, the undefeated one" ?? Zinzolin said with a smile, he doesn''t seem to be bothered by Julian''s identity at all, he just wants to see how good Julian really is. Zinzolin "Weavile, use Night sh" As soon as Zinzolin said this his Weavile disappeared from its spot and appeared right in front of Crystal tond a powerful Night sh on it, even Julian was surprised by the speed disyed by Zinzolin''s pokemon, it was clearly a Champion level pokemon, but Julian is not worried at all. As Weavile was about tond the Night sh on Crystal, it suddenly stopped right in mid-air, right in front of Crystal, it tried to move but couldn''t no matter how much it tried, it was as if every single cell in its body was locked down in this particr ce with no power to resist. The Weavile felt helpless as it looked at this little thing who is smiling at it while covering its mouth with its little hands in fear, it then suddenly started to move. As it moved it broke the sound barrier and crashed in a wall but it didn''t stop there, under a few seconds, it was sent all over the ce crashing against different walls at least hundred of times, Crystal was brutal. Even Julian was shocked by seeing this, he looked at the Weavile that was nted deep into a wall, Crystal floated towards the Weavile and pocked its cheeks with its tiny finger to see what is wrong with it, getting no response back from Weavile, Crystal turned and looked at Julian with confusion, not knowing what to do now, things ended faster than it expected. Crystal thought it was better to y with a ball than this Weavile, Julian smiled awkwardly and called back Crystal and put it back to its pocket, he didn''t expect Crystal will not hold back at all. That Weavile won''t be able to battle for months as Crystal brutalized it without even intending it to, for Crystal it was just fun and games. Zinzolin couldn''t believe what he just witnessed, this was something he was not prepared for, he quickly called back his Weavile and was ready to leave when Julian stopped him. Julian "Old man, take your chumps with you" Zinzolin didn''t give a fuck about the grunts and threw a small cube at the wall next to him, as the cube hit the wall it suddenly created a big hole in it which lead right into the amusement park with the big Ferris wheel, Zinzolin then passed right through it and escaped. Zinzolin "I will be leaving Mister Julian and I hope we never meet ever again" Zinzolin tried to run but as soon as he got out, he felt a hand grabbing his shoulder, he turned his head and saw that it was Julian, he was surprised by how fast Julian was, one a second has passed and he is already behind him. Zinzolin now has little hopes of escaping, but Julian suddenly let go of him as he felt an attacking towards him, he jumped back at the right time as he saw an Ice Beam pass right in front of him and hit the ground and covered it with Ice. Julian turned his head and looked at the direction of the attack and saw a young man with long green hair tied up into a ponytail, wearing a white cap along with white half sleeve shirt and beige skinny fit pants, he also has a weird-looking blue/ck pendant around his neck tied up to a thin chain, he also has a cube attached to his hip. And beside him is a Vanilluxe which is clearly a Champion level pokemon, Zinzolin also sees this person and hope shed in his eyes and takes this chance to escape, Julian sees this and tries to stop him but another Ice Beam is shot at him preventing him from doing so. He once again looks at the young man and frowns. Julian "Who are you?" Julian asks. "I won''t allow you to hurt my followers" The young man says. Julian once again looks at this young man and felt something weird about this young man, in no way, shape, or form this young man looked evil, he didn''t even have a hint of bad instinct in him. Julian is very confused by this, he taps and asks Crystal to confirm if he is right or not because Crystal can easily tell if someone has bad intent or not, Crystal popped its head out and looked at the young man and told Julian the same thing he felt. This man was as pure as one can be. Julian "Don''t joke around here and don''t get involved with these people, go back to where to came from" Julian said this because he has never seen a man who had such a pure aura as this young one, it was even purer than Ash. For some reason, the young man got offended and walked towards Julian. "You are evil, you hurt my follower so you need to be punished" The young man said. Julian "Wait, are you serious, you are the leader of Team sma, hahaha, nice joke, now go away, I need to chase after that man" Julianughed and said ignoring the young man as there was no way such a pure person will be involved with a group like Team sma. "What do you mean by that, I am the leader of Team sma, Natural Harmonia Gropius, in short N" He finally revealed his name. Julian ''Wait. he is telling the truth!'' Julian thought and became serious, this was something totally unexpected. Chapter 679 - Natural Harmonia Gropius Julian thought this situation is really weird, this person who is in front of him ims to be the leader of Team sma but Julian doesn''t understand why. From the looks of it, this man is as good as a human can be but being a leader of Team sma didn''t make sense. ?? Julian "Do you even understand what you are doing?" Julian asked. N "Of course, I am separating pokemons from their trainers, it is for the better and no one can stop me" The young man said and suddenly asked his Vanilluxe to attack Julian again, Julian jumped to the side and looked at the young man and frowned, a hot-headed person who is not down to talk, there is only one way to make them listen. Since Julian knows what happens if he lets Crystal do the work, he decided to let it sleep and sent out Garchomp to take care of this man and his pokemon. N looked at Julian''s Garchomp and frowned. N "Using a pokemon that is four times weaker to my Vanilluxe, are you trying to torture your own pokemon?" N said with an angry voice, hearing him Julian slowly started to realize what kind of person this man was. Julian [Garchomp take it easy and don''t hurt the other party too much] Julian sent a message to Garchomp''s mind directly and continued to watch N''s actions, seeing that N is just trying to drag this moment, Julian decided to make the move. Julian "Use methrower" Garchomp sted a powerful methrower at Vanilluxe, seeing the attacking towards them, N called out an attack as well. N "Use Water Pulse" N decided to counter with a move that has an advantage over Garchomp''s methrower, as the moves shed with each other, something else happened that N couldn''t understand. His Vanilluxe''s Water Pulse just evaporated into thin air and the methrower continued towards Vanilluxe. N "Use Protect" Before the methrower could hit the Vanilluxe, it created a forcefield in front of it and prevented the methrower from hitting hit. N''s Vanilluxe backs off a little as it notices the Protect is cracking down, luckily it dies down and Vanilluxees out unscathed, but this also puts N and his pokemon in a though position. He didn''t expect his opponent to be this strong. If he continues forward, his Vanilluxe will get hurt and he doesn''t want to take the risk. Julian "If I were you, I will be leaving right now or you might hurt your pokemon" By now Julian can clearly see that this man in front of him is very innocent, he has no idea what he is doing and he cares about his pokemons but this is not the time for Julian to exin everything to him and what N is doing wrong, he could still hear the sound of explosionsing from inside so he has to go there and take care of the remaining grunts. N frowns at Julian''s warning but he knows this is not the time to act brave, he calls his Vanilluxe back and goes away while also giving a signal to the Team sma grunts, as soon as those grunts see the signal, they knew it was time to abandon the mission and escape. They quickly make there way out of the building, get in their ship while their pokemons defend them, once they got inside, they called sent their pokemons back to their Pokeball and ran away. Julian also walks into theb and sees if everyone is alright, he could see someputers and devices arepletely ruined and there are many dents and cracks on the walls, the battle here seemed to be intense as well. Looks like Kukui and the group of scientists were able to handle themselves pretty well, he also noticed that the Teleportation machine is safe and sound with no scratches on it, Kukui also sighs in relief after seeing that nothing happened to his machine. He thanked Julian and hugged him happily for being here but Julian pushed him away, he doesn''t like being touchy with guys even if they are his friends. Julian "Next time you should ask the league for their help in protecting your projects, their agents are much better at handling stuff like thispared to private guards" Julian said as he saw some Private guards behind Kukui and the scientists, even though they are armed and protected, theyck the experience and training that an elite league agent has gone through and the league would be happy to give some of their forces for the protection of these kinds of grand-scale projects. Kukui "Ah, hiring the league agents is very expensive so for a little cost saving we had to work with private guards" Kukui was embarrassed as he realized that private guards are not fully equipped to take on organizations like Team sma. Julian "Let me talk to them, I will see what I can do" Julian said and decided to leave, he cannot stay here any longer, as soon as he left he heard sirens heading towards theb, it was clearly the police, too bad that they arete to the crime scene and all of the Team sma members escaped. After getting some distance from theb Julian takes out his phone and makes a call to Cynthia, his beloved girlfriend as she will be able to hook him up with the chairman of the main league headquarters here in Unova. Chapter 680 - Fan CEO Cynthia soon gave him the information he needed to contact the people here in Unova who are in the league, he wanted to ask them about N as they are the best at collecting information of people, they will have information on anyone and everyone. After ending the call with Cynthia he waited for a few minutes before calling them as Cynthia said she will be informing them about him and his call. ?? After a few minutes, he called them and as soon as the person on the other end picked up the call he started breathing heavily, it was as if he is very nervous. Julian "Is this the Unova League headquarters?" Julian asked. "YES" The person on the other end shouted, from the sound of it, this person on the other side is quite young. Julian "Can I talk to the CEO of the headquarters?" "It''s me, I am the CEO" The voice on the other side said. it is clear that the person on the other side is very nervous. Julian "You sound very young to be a CEO" Julian said. It is not a very good idea to put a young man in the CEO''s position if he acts so nervous in front of a person who he is not even seeing right now and just talking on the phone. "Yes, I am, I was elected the CEOst year" The young man said again. Julian didn''t know what to say, that is when his phone suddenly vibrated, he took it off his ear and looked at the screen to see Cynthia has messaged him telling that the CEO is his huge fan. Julian ''This exins why he is so nervous, let''s not put him on the spot'' Julian thought and put his phone back to his ear. "Hello? Hello? anyone there, Mister Julian?" The young man was called out for him as Julian was not responding. Julian "Yes, I need your help, looking into someone, I need all his information" "Yes, anything you need" The man shouted excitedly, Julian ignored it and continued to speak. Julian "I need information on Natural Harmonia Gropius, the leader of Team sma, everything that led him to be the leader of Team sma, his past, and present as well" Hearing Julian''s request the man behind the phone fell in a huge dilemma. "Mister Julian, I will have to disappoint you because no one knows about Natural Harmonia Gropius, we tried many times to look into his past and what he did but nothing came out, it was as if he had no past" The CEO said with a disappointed tone, he was a little embarrassed because he couldn''t help Julian at all, even with the current position he is in, he is of no use to Julian. Julian frowned when he heard this from the CEO, he didn''t expect a nk te, even the league was not able to find anything on Natural Harmonia Gropius or N and how he became the leader of Team sma. Julian knew there is more to this than it is, N is too innocent to be a bad person and he is clearly being manipted but by who, who could have more influence than the leader of Team sma. The only way Julian can find the answer is to track down that old man he was about to capture, Zinzolin, he talked about being a part of the Seven Sage, Julian didn''t understand who these Seven Sages are but this piqued his interest. Julian ''These Seven Sages, they should be rted to Team sma and the person who is manipting that guy named N, I will have to look into them'' Julian thought and looked at his phone. Since the CEO is still in line, he decided to make him work a little for him. Julian "Alright, do me another favor" "Yes, whatever it is, I will do it" Julian "Try to find information on a group called the Seven Sages, one of the member is called himself Zinzolin, this should help you" "The Seven Sages, I think I have heard of them somewhere, give me a few days and I will dig into their history and give you everything you need" The CEO said. This time he is excited because he was not useless at the end of the day after all. Julian "I will be waiting" Julian said and ended the call, he needs to figure out who these Seven Sages are and what they do for them to hold so much power over Team sma, it was clear that the grunts in Team sma listened to Zinzolin. Is Seven Sages the real master of Team sma or are they just puppets for someone who is more powerful, this is all just Julian''s assumption so he doesn''t want to think about it too much and make a mistake. He decided to wait for the CEO to send him the information he needs and then think about it. He decided to go to the nearest trainer park and look around before heading back to his hotel, he also wanted to visit the Battle Institute and see how good are the trainers who train and battle there every day. Chapter 681 - Three Of The Seven With the new discovery that Julian has over Team sma and its leader, N, Julian wonders what they are really after. After going through all the sighting of Team sma and what they do in public, one thing was very clear, they only steal pokemon from their trainers, what Julian thought was weirder was that Team sma ask the trainers to release their pokemons first, it was as if they are showing some kind of courtesy. ? ? If the trainers didn''t agree with their request and don''t release their pokemons, which most trainers would do, Team sma will forcefully snatch them away, what they were doing is just like Team Rocket. Their main goal is to snatch pokemons for themselves, Julian also wondered how the leader of Team sma is so willing to do such a thing even though he can clearly see what his workers are doing, it is clearly a crime. Julian wondered if N is really that naive and gullible that he cannot see what he is doing to these people, how his actions are affecting the people and pokemons. For Julian to find out more about N and his Team sma, he needs to understand more about him and to do that he needs his past and present, what he has done and what he is doing, with all this Julian might get an understand on what N wants and why does he want it. From his previous experience with a massive organization like Team sma, it was clear that all these organizations were run by a single person and his ambition or greed. For example Giovanni, he is more of an ambitious person than a greedy one, his ambition is to rule over the world with powerful pokemons by his side, but if you take a look at Cyrus, he was a greedy one, he didn''t care about anyone but himself, he just wanted to wield the power of the legendary pokemons to create his own new world. Now Julian has to figure out what is the ambition of N is or the master behind this massive organization called the Team sma, Julian could tell that N might be the face of it but he might not be the one who is calling all the shots. Julian also noticed that N is very strong, his Vanilluxe could have easily gone toe to toe with Lance''s Dragonite from the past when Julian battled him, now he has no idea but it is clear that N is very strong, if Julian didn''t have his Sinnoh or Kanto team with him, he wouldn''t want to battle N. He also noticed that N and his pokemon share a special harmony between them as if they are connected, just like Julian and his pokemon, with Julian the Omniforcees into faster but with N it is something different, the more Julian thinks about N the more he is interested in him. Julian soon returns to his hotel room, today was a busy day, he expected it to go peacefully while he meat Kukui and see how far he hase with the manufacturing of his machine but Team sma interrupted and ruined it. Julian also didn''t understand what use does the Teleportation machine is for them, what are they nning to do, Julian heard Zinzolin talk about how he wants to keep the machine to himself and people of his ss, Julian didn''t understand what he meant. After having his meal Julian headed towards the forest area to train his pokemon as it is their normal routine, a day passed without any further problems for Julian. _____________________ Somewhere else in the north-west side of Unova, inside a very old building that looked like a small luxury pce, few people were sitting around a massive table, there were three of them, one was none other than the old man Julian chased away Zinzolin while the other two are unknown people. But all three of them are the part of the Seven Sages that Zinzolin talked about. Zinzolin "I didn''t think that the undefeated champion Julian himself would show up, I was lucky N showed up or I would have been captured" He said and sighed. "Hohoho! looks like you suffered a huge loss, Zinzolin" One of the sage said while smiling at Zinzolin, he is an old man with a thick white mustache, beard, and big ears, his eyes are squinted but they don''t look aggressive, instead, they looked rxed and calm, he is also wearing a long top hat with no brim, this is another member of the Seven Sages, Gorm. Zinzolin "It was not just a loss, it was aplete one side beat down, what a monster that man and his pokemons are, even N had to back down after losing an exchange with him" Zinzolin said but he still seems to be indifferent, it was as if the loss didn''t matter to him at all. Gorm "It looks like we have to be careful and not go against this young man, especially you Ghetsis" Gorm said and looked to his right at the tallest person in the room, this man is tall standing over 6 feet, he is wearing a long brown robe that covers his whole body, he has blond hair and he is also wearing a red ss that covers his right eye. This man is Ghetsis, the leader of the Seven Sages. Ghetsis "Hmph, no one can stop me, tell me about the pokemon that this Julian used to humiliate you, Zinzolin" Ghetsis asked while staring coldly at Zinzolin. Zinzolin "Hehehehe, always so serious, well the pokemon he used was, of course, the one that looks like Mew, with two tails and a red crystal on its forehead, this one is a monster, I don''t think you will be able to go against it" Zinzolin warned him. Ghetsis "It doesn''t matter, once I get one of them, it will all be mine" He said with a serious tone. Gorm "Hohoho, greed can lead to disaster, I hope you are ready for anything as failure is a part of life" Gorm said while still holding on to the same attitude and behavior. Chapter 682 - Battle Institute While Julian continued training his pokemon for their next gym battle against Elesa and her team of Electric-type pokemon, Julian decided to go with Darumaka and Drilbur as they didn''t battlest time, Julian began their training and tried to increase their speed a little. Electric-type attacks are fast, especially the Special Attacks, Drilur has nothing to worry about them because he is immune to them but Darumaka needs to increase his speed and momentum, with so much power behind all his attacks, Darumaka has beencking around in the speed department and this can be his weakness. ?? Even though Darumaka''s body doesn''t allow him to run fast, Julian still has toe up with other ways to increase his speed, just because the body is shaped like a ball and he has small legs, it doesn''t give him an excuse to be slow. Julian decided to go with the rolling method but every time Darumaka''s legs touch the ground he has to put more power behind them, this continued for hours until Darumaka was very tired and couldn''t continue any further. The only reason Darumaka trains this hard is because he wants to create bigger explosions, he just liked ying with fire, his target is Infernape and he wants to be as strong as him because he once saw Infernape use his fire to destroy some waste and turn into ashes, from that day onward Darumaka wanted to create mes as big as Infernape. He even started to burn down the garbage instead of Infernape, once Darumaka''s training was done, Julian focused on Drilbur, Drilbur will be one of his strongest pokemons after he evolves. With typing like steel and ground together, it was a very powerfulbination to too many resistance and immunity, Drilbur could easily be his all rounder and take on any type of pokemon thates in front of him. Drilbur''s training is much standard, he mostly goes through strengthening training while improving both his defense and special defense, he doesn''t have to work on his attack because it is already up there with his other friends such as Darumaka. Training is hard but his pokemons did whatever it took to grow stronger, they have to see what the pokemons under Julian can do, if they ck off they will be left behind and everyone knows that, with such high standards in Julian''s team, his pokemons do feel the pressure of not being able to perform as good as their seniors who are very strong. Julian also knows this, that is why he never let his older pokemon disy their true powers in front of the younger ones until he is certain that they are ready to take the next step into their training and bing stronger. Julian doesn''t want to pressure them but they already feel the pressure, Julian knows this so he is never too strict on them, he never scolds them for doing bad, he just cheers them up and makes them train harder, that is all. It is not his new pokemons fault that their seniors are so strong and Julian understands this clearly and it was up to him so that his new pokemons don''t feel left behind. With today''s training done, Julian decided to give his pokemons some treat and booked a pokemon massage parlor for them to rx their muscles. After the training ended, he headed straight towards the city and took his pokemons to the parlor so they can rest while he takes care of the Volcarona''s egg. Julian could tell that the egg is developing really well and the system confirmed the heart is already starting to form inside the egg, with the constant exposure of the Light stone of Reshiram and Julian''s care the egg is developing nicely. The day ended soon after Julian went back to his hotel room, he put all his pokemon to bed and waited for tomorrow. Next morning, after the daily usual routine Julian headed out and went straight towards the Battle Institute to see if the hype about is ce is real or not, many elite trainers im that this is the best ce for a trainer to hone their skills and develop further. Julian knows nothing about this ce so he is very curious to see what happens inside and how things work, after a few minutes of riding around the city, he finally arrived in front of a massive building that looked like a pce, it had red long gs hanging down its wall with the symbol of Battle Institute etched in it. Julian looked around and noticed a lot of trainers hanging around the area, most of them were normal people and few trainers and they didn''t stand out much, they were only here to meet famous trainers who usually hangout inside the Battle Institute. People and trainerse here daily to get a nce at their favorite trainer, sometimes they get lucky and see them, and sometimes they don''t. It is just how it is, Julian decided to enter the institute and check it out himself. His pokemons have done enough physical and mental training and now it is time for them to experience really hard battles for further improvement. As he stepped into the institute many people looked at him wondering who he is, luckily for Julian many elite trainers hide their faces while entering the institute so that they don''t get disturbed by their fans, they are here to train and not to show of themselves in front of their fans, well there are some who purposely show off in front of the crowd for some cheers. Julian ignored their stairs and walked straight towards the gate, as he got there two guards stopped him in his tracks. "Sir, do you have a membership card?" One of the guards asked. Julian "No" "Then can I have your id to confirm your identity, if you meet the criteria then you can enter and if not, I request you to go back" Another guard said and asked for Julian''s ID, sometimes trainers who have never been to Battle Institutee to take a look and it is up to these guards to check their identity and see if they are elite trainers or not, if not they will have to sent the ones who didn''t reach the criteria back. It was not such a hard job as the inte made things easier for them and they can search for any Elite trainers and their name will be there along with their stats and battle records. Chapter 683 - Battle Institute (2) Julian knew he has to provide his identity if he wants to walk in and experience what is inside the Battle Institute so he put his hand inside his pouch to take out his ID. "Hey move aside" ?? Julian suddenly heard someone from behind, he turned around and noticed a tall man wearing a tight fit white shirt and pants walk towards the entrance, Julian didn''t know who this person is but seeing the reaction of the people around the area and how crazily they are reacting to him, he guessed it is someone famous and important. "Just not anyone cane here and walk into the Institute, go back to where you came from or move aside" The man said and walked right in, the guards didn''t stop him as he is the member of the Institute, the guard just looked apologetically at Julian for that man''s rude behavior but they couldn''t do anything, they are powerless. Julian shook his head while also listening to the crowd behind him, they give a lot of information about people they worship. "Oh my god, it was David Alester, I can''t believe I saw him today" One of them said. "I heard that he will be participating in this years Unova league to battle Champion Julian and defeat him in the finals" Another person said. "Haha, in his dreams, he won''t even worth Champion Julian''s shoe, he should feel satisfied with his life if he ever stands in front of Julian and worships him" As soon as Julian heard this, he knew one of his crazy toxic fans are here as well so he quickly pulled out his ID and showed it to the guard so he can get in quickly. One of the guards took the ID and looked at it, as soon as he did, he froze and looked at Julian with wide eyes, he is shocked and couldn''t believe what he is seeing, seeing the guard''s reaction, Julian quickly signaled him to stay silent. The guard quickly calmed down and showed the ID to his partner, his partner was also about to shout but Julian signaled him to stop as well, knowing who is standing in front of them, the guards quickly moved to the side and gave his card back. They were shocked that Julian himself came here, they also realized that David Alester fucked up very bad. Some of the people outside saw Julian entering the Institute and they also noticed how respectful the guards were to him, some reporters clicked his photo from behind while other started to specte who this person could be. Julian didn''t bother with this much and walked in, he is surprised as he saw the interior of this building, everything here is very grand and big, the arts on the wall is beautiful, whoever made them must be very famous and talented. He soon found himself in front of reception, well it looked like a reception as ady is standing behind the desk smiling at Julian. "You must be a new visitor, let me help you and make a pass for you so you don''t have to show your ID anymore in other Battle Institutes in Unova and other regions as well, please give me your ID so I can register you in the database" Thedy said with a smile on her face, Julian nodded and gave his ID to thedy, as she received it and took a look at it, she got stunned, after a few seconds she looked at Julian and back at the ID, Julian expected this reaction, well he couldn''t me them as his poprity have been growing crazily ever since his battle in Sinnoh league and his little stunt after than. Thedy got a little flustered as she didn''t expect The Julian toe here himself. Julian "Is there something wrong?" Julian asked. He didn''t want to embarrass her so he decided to help her, she snapped out and shook her head and quickly entered Julian into the Database and returned back his ID to him. "Can I get an autograph?" She asked blushing, Julian smiled and nodded, she quickly gave a pen and her diary to Julian to sign on, he sighed it and gave it back and also started to ask questions about how things work in the Institute. After a few minutes everything became clear, he could hide his identity inside the Insititute if he wants and no one will be able to look into it, except the boss of the Institute, trainers can do whatever they want, they can show who they are or hide their identity, it depended on them. He also learned that trainers can challenge anyone inside the Institute but their pokemons have to be at the same level for the battle to be official, all these battles are recorded as well and whoever has the best record is the king of the Institute. To be the king one needs to win more battles, even if a trainer defeated the current king they need to have more wins in his record than the current king to take his ce. This was a very unique way of seeing it but Julian liked the idea, sometimes a win can depend on luck so if a trainer wins by luck he might get the title of the king but they might soon get defeated again, but if the trainer is really skillful and won based on their skill, they will get the title of the king down the line and prove that they are the best at what they do. Chapter 684 - Battle In The Institute With all the information in his hand, Julian decided to walk into the main area where most trainers hangout, as he looked around he saw many trainers, some covered their faces just like him as they didn''t want to show who they are while some did. These people had their own group, the ones who hid their faces stayed in one group as they feltfortable and same could be said for the ones that showed their faces, there is also the third group who don''t care about anything and just want to battle, they are mixed with people who covered their faces and the ones who don''t ?? Julian looked around for a while to get a better feel of the surrounding, this ce is where most trainers interact and challenge other trainers. If both parties agree to battle, they will head towards the battlefield and battle each other, their battle will be recorded and entered into the Database determining their ranks in the Battle Institute forum. As Julian looked around he noticed two trainers started to bicker and exchange words with one another and seeing the reaction of the other trainers around the room, Julian could tell this is a normal urrence in this room where two trainers with massive egos exchange words, Julian is not surprised by this at all because this can happen when two trainers with equal strength and ego sh. Julian thought this was interesting and got closer to see how this little y goes forward, just like he expected both of them decided to battle it out and prove for once and for all on who is the better trainer. Both trainers rushed down towards the battlefield that is actually a level below this room, Julian noticed trainers walking towards a ck ss along the walls, as he looked closer he realized that these are not normal walls and they are very thick, about 7-inch thick ss. As Julian got closer to the ss wall the ck color suddenly shifted to a see-through one and he could clearly see the battlefield down below this room. He noticed the two trainers arriving at the battlefield, one of them is a young man who seems to be in histe 20s while the other is in his early 20s, as they took their position, the disy in the middle of the battlefield lit up. Julian could clearly see it as it is right in front of his eyes, the screen lit up and disyed the information about the two trainers, the screen disyed their stats which consisted of their wins, losses, and draws. Their names were not disyed, instead, they had a unique ID of their own, if they want they could change it to their names but this unique ID will still be beside their names as it is the only way to identify a particr trainer in the Battle Institute. Julian also has his own unique ID which is 69420. The battle started and both trainers sent out their pokemons, the younger trainer sent out his Aggron while the older one sent out his Magmortar, Julian took a look at these pokemons and was impressed, just like the rumors said, the trainers who train here are very strong. Both these trainers can easily get into the top 64 of a league, they soon started to battle and the explosion caused by the sh of their attacks shook the whole battleground but one the other side of the ss the trainers could feel nothing, once again Julian was impressed by the technology they put into this building for elite trainers. As the battle continued Magmortar started to gain the upper hand because its arsenal is filled with Fighting-type moves, Julian just watched this and focused on the battle, he thought this is very interesting, other than the league Julian doesn''t watch many battles that other trainers participate in as he is always traveling, getting to see how other people battle can help him in many ways, sometimes it inspires him toe up with many new moves. Julian has even copied some, especially from Ash, and modified a little to his liking and suit his battle style, he noticed some interesting things on how these trainers battle, for example, these two trainers have Avery simr battle style and that is ying very aggressive, even after getting hit, they don''t back down and continue their attacks, it looks like they depend on their stamina and defense a lot. It is a risky strategy but seeing how strong their pokemons attacks are, they just need a good hit to finish the battle and the battle will be theirs. "Who is gonna win?" Julian suddenly heard a voice from his right, he turned around and noticed a woman with short red hair standing next to him, she hasn''t covered her face and she is quite beautiful. "The trainer with Aggron" Julian said. "How can you tell that?" She asked. "You will see within a few seconds... Wait, never mind here it is" As soon as Julian said this, the Magmortar took a step forward to hit the Aggron with a Focus Punch and finish the battle, the ground beneath its feet suddenly caved in and it lost its bnce and missed the Focus Punch, using this as his opportunity the Aggron trainer called out for a Head Smash. The Head Smash got delivered right on the Magmortar''s forehead and it was all over, the Magmortar crashed down and fainted, the older trainer was shocked by this oue, he was clearly winning but he didn''t expect this sudden turn of event. The girl who was next to Julian was also shocked by this oue with the rest of the trainers in the room, it was clear as the day that the Magmortar trainer is going to win but thepletely opposite happened, the girl looked at Julian in surprise. "How did you know?" She asked. She is curious to know how Julian figured it out. "The ground was about to break sooner orter, that Aggron is too heavy and the ground beneath its feet was already under a lot of stress as its leg kept putting pressure on them with all those attacks it resisted. That Magmortar got a little too confident and stepped into Aggron''s side while using a very powerful move, putting enough pressure to crack the ground and there it was, it missed and Aggron won. Sometimes it just the luck of the trainer" Hearing Julian''s exnation was a little ridiculous but it also made sense, this also proved how good Julian was at observing his surrounding, every change in the battlefield is being registered by him, he knows how to avoid an ident and also use these changes to his advantages. Chapter 685 - First Battle In Battle Institute "Hoooo, you are really observant aren''t you, by the way, I am Kelly, what is your name?" The girl said and extended her hand while looking at Julian, Julian looked at her and then at her hand. If he wants he could reveal his identity but that will be too troublesome so he stayed quiet. ?? Kelly "Ah, never mind, since you have your face covered, it means you don''t want to reveal your identity, my bad" The girl got embarrassed as Julian left her hanging, she was about to take back her hand but Julian decided to shake it anyway as it would be very disrespectful. Julian "My ID is 69420" Kelly "Ah, ok Mr 69420, do you wanna battle? Since this looks like your first battle, it is better to battle someone new as well" Julian thought about it and looked at her. Julian "How long have you been a member here in the Institute?" He asked. Kelly "It''s just been a month, I came all the way from Jhoto here to participate in the Unova League" She said happily. Julian "Are you also here to battle Julian in the league?" Kelly "Of course and I will be the one to beat him, I couldn''t meet him in the Jhoto League because he never came and I also lost to Jon before I could even reach the finals, that kid won against me because he got lucky as one of my pokemon slipped on a pebble, or I would have gone to the finals and won the Jhoto league" She said and started to grunt. Julian remembered this Jon, his full name was Jon Dickson, this is the person who won the Jhoto league, Julian didn''t go to Jhoto to participate in the conference because he was busy with his very new business and it was crucial for him to stay with the team. He didn''t expect this girl to be one of the participants from the Jhoto League, and from what she is iming that kid only won the league because he got lucky against her, Julian doesn''t know if she is saying the truth or not but it doesn''t matter. The one who won the Jhoto league was not that impressive either, he soon lost right after challenging the first Elite Four, now that this girl named Kelly is telling that she is better than the Jhoto league winner, Julian wants to see how good she really is. Julian "Ok let''s battle, but the pokemons used should not be in their final stage" Kelly "I am ok with that, even I need some of my new pokemons to improve a little bit before I challenge the gym leader of Nimbasa gym" She said. Since both of them agreed to have a battle, they headed towards the elevator which will lead them down to the battlefield, Julian walked into the elevator and looked around, he noticed a card slot next to the door, it is asking for his Institute ID that he just received at the reception. He inserted his ID into the card slot, as soon as he did that the lift started to go down, once the door opened Julian saw the battlefield in front of him, it was the same battlefield that was used before, broken and cracked but something started to happen. The battlefield started to go down and a new battlefield started toe out from two sides, these two sides then connected to form a new battlefield over the old broken one. Now that a new one is ready, Julian walked in and took his position on it, he also noticed Kelly walk in as well, as both of them took their position, the screen over their head lit up disying their stats. Julian being a new member of the institute has a nk dash with 0''s all over his stats, while Kelly already has 12 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw, her record is very impressive but she is still not in the top list of trainers in Unova''s battle institute. On the other hand, Julian is sitting at zero, not many people are supporting him as he is new to this, many new trainers fail to win their first battle here in the Institute, seeing Kelly has no losses in her record proves that she is an amazing trainer. Kelly "How many pokemons?" She asked as they still have no agreed on how many pokemons they want to use for this battle. Julian "Two will do" Kelly "Two it is then, let''s see if your battling is as good as your observation skill" She said and sent out her first pokemon, A Dragonair, her first choice is a pseudo legendary line, Julian smiled as he saw this pokemon, he knows how tough this species of pokemon is, the Dragonite line is indeed very famous within the trainers and many want to catch one but finding them is very rare. Even Julian is not able to find them in the wild, trainers who have this pokemon either got it from their parents or they encountered one by luck. Julian also sent out his pokemon for this battle, Drilbur. He has to y smart while taking on a Dragonair, it is more powerful than his pokemons, he chose Drilbur because he can escape from its attacks faster than Darumaka and can alsond some powerful hits on it as well. Seeing the pokemons chosen for this battle most trainers watching it felt that Kelly is going to win, only a few of them were unbiased in this matter. Chapter 686 - Julian Vs Kelly (1) Now both trainers have their pokemon ready, a beeping sound went off indicating the start of the battle, Kelly didn''t waste a second and started the offense as soon as possible. Kelly "Dragonair, use Aqua Tail" ?? Her Dragonair started to move, its tail glowed brightly and water covered its tail area, the speed it moved impressed Julian, he realized that Kelly is quite a trainer, for her Dragonair to reach such speed is indeed impressive. Julian "Use Dig" Before the Aqua Tail couldnd, Drilbur buried underground and quickly came out from behind andnded a hit on Dragonair from behind, Julian got the first hit and it was big. when other trainers so this they felt a little confident in Julian''s skill but they are still not convinced that Julian is going to win as Kelly''s record is very impressive. Kelly "This is getting exciting, Dragonair, use Ice Beam" Dragonair who was sent flying backward quickly made a turn in midair and sent a powerful Ice Beam at Drilbur. Since Drilbur is still just a Ground-type he is weak to Ice-type attacks and his special defense is not that great for him to take it head-on, seeing how fat the attack ising towards his Drilbur, Julian knew he has no time to dodge. Julian "Use, Protect" Drilbur quickly put on a shield in front of him and shielded himself from the iing Ice Beam, the Ice Beamnded and it sent ice crystals flying everywhere as they got reflected by the Protect, but Kelly was not done, seeing the Ice Beam has failed she called out another attack. Kelly "Use, Dragon Tail" Dragonair abandoned the Ice Beam and quickly followed up with Dragon Tail, Protect cannot Protect Drilbur twice in a row from two different types of attacks so he needs to take this head-on. By now Julian also figured out how Kelly battles, she is an aggressor, she gives very little chance for her opponents to make a move. Julian "Use Metal w to counter" As the Ice Beam destroyed the Protect and Dragonair was right behind it, Drilbur covered his massive ws with Steel energy and swung it at the iing Dragon Tail, since steel resist dragon type attacks this will bnce it out and Drilbur still has the upper hand in pure physical strength even with his tiny body. As both attacks shed, it created a massive sound and explosion followed right after, the shockwave blew away the dust and rubble from the battlefield and cleaned it up, the exchange was a draw in the eyes of other trainers but few of them noticed a little difference, Dragonair hurt it''s tail when it shed against that hard massive w of Drilbur. If Kelly continues to attack with tail attacks it can put her at a disadvantage, it is up to Kelly now, if she noticed this she will stay clear from Tail attacks but if she hasn''t noticed this it can be troublesome for her. Julian ''Drilbur use Dig once again" Hearing Julian, Drilbur dug into the ground once againpletely disappearing from Dragonair''s vision. Kelly "Dragonair, fly up and st an Ice Beam inside the hole Drilbur just made" Hearing Kelly, her Dragonair red up its wings which also look like ears, the ear lookalike expanded into long wings and it flew up in the air and then aimed at the hole that Drilbur just dug through. It was indeed a very good move but Julian isn''t worried about it at all became Ice Beam can only travel in a straight path and once it hits a surface it starts to freeze it, unlike fire or water type moves that can bend and travel through gaps, Ice Beam can''t do that so Drilbur is safe, he is already far away from the hit point and has already made several underground passages for him to escape even if things go bad. As Julian expected the Ice Beam covered up the hole and nothing else, Drilbur came out as he will not be able to attack his opponent with a Dig until it is on the ground. Kelly "Now use Dragon Rush" Seeing its target has resurfaced the Dragonair roared and covered itself with dragonic energy, soon a massive blue glowing dragon appeared over the Dragonair''s body and Dragonair dove towards Drilbur in full speed, trying to do as much damage as it can. Seeing the attacking Julian knew he has to attack big as well, he knows how powerful a Dragon Rush is, it is one of his favorite finishing moves while battling with his own Garchomp. Julian "Use, Skull Bash" Hearing Julian''s call every training above the battlefield was surprised as this is a suicidal move from Julian''s side, Skull Bash is a very powerful move but for a pokemon to perform this move, it has to raise its defense first and then attack its opponent with a hard but deadly move, seeing the speed of the Dragon Rush there is no way a pokemon can raise its defense in time. Everyone expected this battle to be over, even the ones that thought Julian had the edge after seeing him battle. Drilbur tucked his head and started to raise his defense while Dragonair got very close to him while using Dragon Rush, as the blue dragon opened its mouth to chomp down on Drilbur, he suddenly moved. Drilbur pointed his head towards the blue dragonic energy and charged straight into it while using Skull Bash, the power behind this move was insane, as soon as both moves made contact, there was a massive explosion, this explosion was caused by the Dragon Rush being destroyed and turned into explosive energy. Drilbur''s Skull Bash bashed right through the Dragon Rush and hit the Dragonair right on its head, with just this one attack, the spectators heard two different noise, the first one when the moves collided and the second one when Drilbur made contact with Dragonair. Dragonair was sent flying out of the explosion cloud and it crashed straight into the wall and fainted, nobody expected this at all, they didn''t think Drilbur will be able to use Skull Bash but he did it anyway. Julian has been training Drilbur for this for quite a long while. When he captured Drilbur he noticed that Drilbur already knew how the move Skull Bash when the System checked it, but when Julian asked to perform it, it was very slow and Drilbur couldn''t control the massive amount of energy behind that attack. So Julian always trained Drilbur in specific ways so he can use this move, first he trained Drilbur on how to control his own energy, second on how to increase his defense fast, after a month of hard work and training Drilbur has finally learned how to use Skull Bash. Chapter 687 - Unova Teams Strongest Everyone was surprised by the oue of that exchange, Drilbur got the upper hand, they couldn''t believe how fast the Drilbur managed to increase his defense and then use Skull Bash on Dragonair, but it is over now, the first round went to Julian but the battle is still not over. Kelly is also surprised by the oue, she didn''t think she would be the first one to lose her pokemon, she was very confident innding that Dragon Rush and if it had not finished Drilbur, she had an Ice Beam ready in the back. ?? Knowing that there is no way back to this, Kelly sighed and called her Dragonair back to its Pokeball and sent out her next pokemon, a Dewott, one of the starter pokemons here in Unova. From what Julian knows about these pokemon, they are a very well bnced pokemon, they can be used either as a physical attacker or a special attacker, they are also known for their sharp and powerful scalchops that they use to strike down their opponents, they are also very focused in trainingpared to their revolution Oshawott. Julian decided to call back Drilbur as he has enough for the day, he pulled off a good Skull Bash and with all the training he did for it to get here, he needs to be rewarded with a long nice rest, after calling Drilbur back to his pokemon, Julian sent out his next pokemon, his current ace Darumaka. Being the strongest of Julian''s Unova team, he is also the most ignorant of them all, he doesn''t care about winning a pokemon battle at all, he only wants to beat up other pokemons by creating as big of an explosion as he can, the only motivation for his training is to create even bigger explosion than before. Julian doesn''t know if this is good or not, the good thing about this is, Darumaka will keep training until he makes an explosion bigger than his previous one, but he soon starts to go on overdrive if he doesn''t make an even bigger explosion than before and won''t stop at all, so Julian will always have to knock him out and send him back to his Pokeball. This is also the reason why Darumaka is growing stronger faster than his friends, even Garchomp was surprised seeing how Darumaka went on overdrive when training, even he didn''t go that far, Garchomp was always pushing his own boundaries while training if he wanted to keep up with the little monster that sleeps inside Julian''s pocket and because of Garchomp, Julian other Sinnoh team also kept training harder, it was a massive chain reaction. That is why Julian''s Sinnoh team is the strongest if they werepared to their seniors in the same age category, well except Infernape and Snox, no one cane close to them. Seeing how Darumaka is, Julian suspects his Unova team will also have the same reaction and his pokemons will start to train even harsher just to keep up with Darumaka. __________________ Seeing Julian decision of sending out a fire type pokemon, everyone was surprised once again, Kelly has already revealed her pokemon before Julian made the switch but they didn''t understand why he would send a pokemon that will have a disadvantage from the start. But none of them looked down or mocked him for this, they have already seen what this trainer in the red jacket can do. Kelly looked at Julian''s choice and got serious, she made a mistake in thest round and she had to pay for it, she got too confident in her Dragonair''s attack, she thought her opponent couldn''t counter her but he did it anyway. She knew her opponent is strong and he already has an edge over her because of his observation skills, she needs to focus extra hard if she wants to evennd a hit on her opponent''s pokemon, theirst exchange, her Dragonair couldn''t evennd one move on Drilbur, that was something she never experienced before. With both trainer''s pokemon on the battlefield, the siren when off indicating the start of the second round, Kelly once again went for the attack, just because she lost the first round she won''t change her battling style, she has always been the aggressor when ites to battling. But this time she won''t be the only aggressor, Julian smiled and unleashed Darumaka. Kelly "Dewott, use Razor Shell" Julian "Counter with Fire Punch" Dewott charged at Darumaka while taking out its scalchops and trying to slice Darumaka with it, seeing the opponenting towards him, Darumaka smiled and started to move, it started to roll forward and the speed behind it was explosive. Whoever saw this was shocked by it, they have never seen anything like this before, the spinning red ball got closer to Dewott and suddenly fire red out from its right side, as both pokemons were inches away from each other, Darumaka opened up and swung his arm right at Dewott, Dewott also shed its scalchops at Darumaka, both attacks shed with each other and created a thunderous sound followed by a sizzle, it was as if someone poured cold water on top of a hot burning pan. Whit smoke covered the whole battlefield, everyone expected Dewott toe out the winner of this exchange as it is a water type and the move it used was a water type as well, having an advantage over the fire type move that is Fire Punch. But then everyone saw Dewott being sent flying out of the smoke, Dewott quickly did a tool andnded on the ground and grabbed onto his left arm, that exchange was more than it could handle, as the smoke cleared up everyone could see Darumaka rising his little hands up in the air and jumping around from side to side in happiness. Nobody thought that this little pokemon would actually win that exchange, it also proved how strong this little one really is. Chapter 688 - Very Hot Kelly was surprised by the oue once again, this made her nervous, this opponent that she met moments ago was a lot stronger than she expected, if she wants to win, she has to go all out and even then, she doubts that she would win. That Darumaka is too strong for Dewott to take it head-on, she needs to use her special attacks to attack him, without wasting any time Kelly goes on the attack again, she doesn''t like to wait around for her opponents to set up something before she is able to counter, giving them time is only asking for them to bes stronger, with all the moves that a pokemon can use to increase its strength, speed, and defense, it would be foolish for a trainer to allow their opponent to keep using them. ?? Kelly "Use, Water Pulse" Dewott sted a powerful Water Pulse at Darumaka, since Darumaka has weak Special Defense he has no other option but to dodge it or use Protect to protect himself from the iing attack. Julian "Dodge by rolling away" Darumaka turns himself into a ball and rolls to the side and avoids the iing Water Pulse, the Water Pulse hits the ground and stters everywhere causing the ground to be wet. Kelly "Continue using Water Pulse" Her Dewott continues using Water Pulse and Darumaka keeps moving to the side and dodges the Water Pulse but soon Julian notices the change taking ce on the battlefield, the ground is being filled with water puddles which might restrict Darumaka''s movement if he gets trapped in them. Julian "Stop and use Ember" Darumaka suddenly stops and sts an Ember at the iing Water Pulse, the Ember in no way, form, or shape is enough to stop the Water Pulse but Julian has other ideas, the Ember used by Darumaka is hot enough to evaporate a little from it. Darumaka started to shoot Embers at a rapid rate at the Water Pulse, every fired shot hit the Water Pulse and turned a little portion of it into vapor before the Water Pulse could even touch Darumaka, this also caused the whole battlefield to be covered with vapor which blinded Kelly''s Dewott. Julian "Now, Fire Punch" Darumaka was already on move and as soon as he heard themand hended a powerful Fire Punch right on Dewott''s stomach and sent it crashing backward and rolling on the ground, luckily Dewott was able to resist the fire type attack and survived but it still revived some damage. The vapor started to rise up and clear the battlefield revealing the pokemons again. Kelly didn''t think about it much and continued her attack, her repeated failure didn''t affect her mindset and her Dewott kept ongoing as well, it started to move around the battlefield with speed and nimbleness that Darumaka couldn''t match. Kelly "Use Double Team" Her Dewott started to multiply in numbers as multiple images of Dewott appeared in front of Darumaka, all of them were moving around in circles that confused Darumaka a lot. Kelly "Now use Ice Beam" With Double Team still in effect, Dewott sted Ice Beam at Darumaka, while only one of them was the real one, it still looked like multiple Ice Beams were trying to hit Darumaka at the same time. Julian "Use me Wheel" Darumaka started to spin while his body was covered with burning mes, as the Ice Beam touched him, it turned into the water before it could even solidify, Darumaka then started to target all the images of Dewott, while using me Wheel Darumaka was a lot faster, Dewott couldn''t escape this time and all of its duplicate images got destroyed, as only one remained, it tried to escape but it was toote, Darumaka was spinning a lot faster, his speed has doubled now. Darumaka crashed into Dewott and sent it crashing into the wet puddle that Dewott itself created, but Darumaka was in a bad position as well, his speed was too much and he couldn''t turn properly and he alsonded on a mud puddle and stopped. Kelly saw this and quickly realized this was her chance, she looked at her Dewott which is struggling to get up. Kelly "Quick, use Ice Beam" Hearing her trainer, the Dewott got up and stared at Darumaka who seems to be trapped in the mud puddle, his little legs and hands are not able to climb out of it. The Ice Beam came out of nowhere and hit Darumaka and started to solidify around him, Darumaka got turned into a Popsicle. Kelly "Did I win?" She asked as she saw Darumaka frozen inside the ice. Julian "Not, so fast, Darumaka, burn as bright as you can" Darumaka who is inside the Ice started to twitch as fire erupted out of his mouth and started to melt the ice from inside, soon the whole ice was melted but Darumaka didn''t stop there, the fire around his body went wild and the whole surrounding started to be very hot, the water started to evaporate, the wet ground started to dry and then crack at the same time. Even the mud on Dewott''s body started to harden, within a few seconds the temperature inside the battlefield be intolerable for anyone, Kelly and her Dewott started to feel ufortable by the very hot surrounding. Julian "Now, me Wheel" Darumaka started to move and got out of the ditch very easily as it was rough and dry, he then started to spin very fast and rushed towards Dewott, since the air inside was so hot, it started to hinder Dewott''s vision as the air in front of it got wavy, it didn''t even notice Darumaka has already closed the gap andnded a powerful hit on it. Dewott got sent flying backward and crashed right into the wall and fainted. And with this Julian won his very first battle in the Battle Institute. Chapter 689 - Cat Got Your Tongue? With Darumaka''s win everyone became silent as they didn''t see thising as well, they couldn''t have predicted such an oue, when Darumaka got trapped in the Ice everyone thought that Darumaka is going to lose. Breaking through Ice is extremely hard, luckily Darumaka had enough firepower to break through it ande out unscathed, and on top of that, he caused everything around him to go dry. ?? The whole battlefield is not filled with cracks, it looked like dry barrennd. Kelly was shocked by this, she lost again, she wiped off the sweat from her face as she noticed her whole body was covered in sweat, the whole battlefield was like an oven, thankfully the battlefield had venttion which allowed the hot air to escape out of the room and get reced by cold air in the battlefield. The data on the screen above them changed as well, Julian''s first win was registered while Kelly''s first loss was registered as well. Kelly sighed. She realized that she needs to do a lot more if she wants to battle Julian on the same level again, she called back her Dewott and walked towards Julian, she noticed his Darumaka dancing around happily, she smiled seeing how happy the little fellow was. Kelly "That was a great battle, but I still need to do a lot more" She said and extended her hand. Julian "You were really good, you got me in a few spots" He said. He acknowledges Kelly as she is a really good trainer, most of them won''t be able to evennd a hit on Julian if he doesn''t want that to happen but Kelly did it anyway, she managed to trap his Darumaka and then freeze him. Kelly could have done a lot better but the strength of her pokemon was limited as it is still in its second stage and from the looks of it, it would be able to evolve very soon, the same could be said for Darumaka as well, he is very close to evolving. Being a species of pokemon that only have two evolution states, Darumakas are known to take some time to evolve into their final form but when ites to Julian''s Darumaka he reached that level very quickly. Following him, even Drilbur is very close to evolving into his final form, Julian is also in search of a trainer who has a Shelmet so his Karrast can evolve or if he gets lucky he can find one in the wild, he doesn''t want to catch one so he thought of finding a trainer who wants their Shelmet to evolve. It will be a win-win situation for both Julian and the Shelmet''s trainer as both pokemon can evolve into their final form. Kelly "I was just lucky" She said embarrassed, even though she tried her hardest she couldn''t defeat this man in front of her, she was embarrassed to tell him that she gave her all in that. Julian just smiled and decided to leave, his Darumaka got enough training and now its time for him to take on the gym of Nimbasa city. This will be his fourth gym and the gym leaders from here won''t y nice at all, especially the gym leader of Nimbasa city, he read on the inte that she is very hard on her opponents and won''t go easy even for a beginner who just got their pokemon. Electric types are one of the most destructive types of pokemons and they only have one weakness giving them an advantage over any other type of pokemons, they also have three resistance, also making them very favorable among young trainers who want a bnced pokemon that can do it all. Julian and Kelly walked out of the battleground and they noticed trainers staring at them, some of them approached them and asked for a battle, Julian decided to refuse them as he has other things to do while Kelly decided to stay as she wanted to train a little more. Seeing that Julian doesn''t want to battle anymore, many trainers felt disappointed but they couldn''t do anything except it, if someone doesn''t want to battle then there is no way of convincing them. "Hey, aren''t you the one I saw outside, I am surprised that you got inside" Julian suddenly heard a voice from behind, he turned around and noticed a young man with a sung face looking at him, this was the same person that told Julian to step aside when he was entering the Battle Institute. Julian ''Oh, its this idiot! What was his name again?'' Julian thought as he looked at the young man in front of him. "You what are you staring at, do you even know who I am?" The man asked. It was clear that he was very famous seeing the reaction of the trainers in the room, it was clear that no one wanted to mess with him. "No, I don''t know who you are" Julian said. "Yes, I am the...... Wait, you don''t know who I am, how dare you?" It looked like Julian offended him just because he didn''t know who he was. Julian "What is not knowing you a crime now?" Julian asked. He found this current incident funny so he decided to mess with this man who was clearly a man child, at this moment of his life, Julian didn''t even bother with people like this, sometimes he just interacted with them just for some fun. "Yes, its a crime, I am the greatest trainer in Unova, there is no one in Nimbasa city that doesn''t know my name" The man said. Julian "Oh, are you the champion of Unova?" Julian asked. The more this young man talked the more amusing it got for Julian, he didn''t think he would meet someone who is so up their head that they think they are the best in the world. "What? No, I am not the champion" He said. Julian "Then someone from the Elite Four?" "No" Julian "Then how are you the strongest trainer in Unova, did your dad give you that title?" Julian asked with a smoking voice, this of course caused some people tough a little but they quickly quieted down as they didn''t want to face the consequence forughing at this man. "You...you don''t know who you are messing with?" It is clear now that this man is clearly pissed off. Julian "Who else will it be then your dad? It is clear as a day that you are your daddy''s boy so after getting embarrassed here you will run and go to your daddy andin about what happened here, am I wrong?" Julian asked. The young man couldn''t talk at all, he was really embarrassed, he was just about to tell who his father was and now Julian figured it out before he could tell it and called him out on top of that, it would be a huge blow to his ego if he proves Julian''s words true. He is forced into a corner and he could already hear giggles from the crowd, never in his life has someone talked back to him, his family statues always allowed him to do whatever he wants and now that someone who is not intimidated by his family appeared his bravado shattered into pieces. Julian "Hey I am waiting, did a cat get your tongue?" Julian asked. He was really enjoying this, he was clearly being a hypocrite here, he didn''t allow Gengar to have any fun but when it came to him, he didn''t hold back either, well in Julian''s case he only used words while Gengar would get a little physical but at the end, it didn''t matter. Gengar was clearly seeing this and cursing. Chapter 690 - Peoples Mindset "How dare you look down on me, I am David Alester, son of Devon Alester, you are going to regret this?" The young man got really mad and addressed his name to Julian, telling him his statue, hoping that Julian would back off after hearing his father''s name. ?? Julian "Who is that? Well it doesn''t matter I don''t care anyway, stop wasting my time and go back to whichever hole you dug out from" Julian said and turned his back and decided to ignore hi, the best way to piss of an angry stupid idiot is to ignore them and Julian wanted to piss him off, even more, he doesn''t get to have much fun so these kinds of rare incidents cannot be ignored, he wanted to take full advantage of it. And he was also doing a service to themunity as these kinds of assholes are always bullies to others so making a little fun of them helped to bring down their ego and they won''t be able to show off their arrogance in front of the crowd again as they have already lost their image and appeal. Just like Julian expected, him ignoring David caused him to burst out in anger and he did what Julian expected him to do. David "I don''t need my dad to teach you a lesson, battle me right now and I will show you how big of a mistake you have done offending me, just because you won a battle against someone insignificant you think you are some kind of a big deal?" He said andughed. Julian "What are you on about, you idiot? I never said I was the best, you assumed that and why do I need to battle you, just talking to you makes me cringe, I would rather listen to a dog barking than listen to you" He said and decided to walk away. David "Stop right there" Julian "No I am not going to" David "Stop, or" Julian "You aren''t going yo do shit" Julian said and just as he expected David couldn''t do anything, Julian walked out of the Battle Institute and David did nothing but shout in anger, Julian thought he would at least try to do something but David was more of a disappointment than he expected. As Julian walked out of the battle institute, David followed right behind him in anger, as soon as he did, his fans started to click his picture and scream out his name, it was clear that they loved him, also the media is always after rich people and what goes in their life, some reporters evenmit their whole day following certain celebrity all day just to see what happens in their life. David "You stop right there, I am not going to let you get away with what you have done" David suddenly came out and shouted at Julian, Julian turned around amused about what he was about to do, as he turned around he noticed a smirk on David''s face, it was clear that he was up to no good but Julian decided to stay and watch as the show unfolds. He looked around and noticed that David has caught a lot of attention from his shout, everyone then looked at Julian who David was pointing at, the people who are around the battle institute are curious as to why this is happening. Why is the famous, David Alester calling out someone, many even questioned who this person in the red jacket is, all these questions are running in their mind and some of them are even starting to specte things, seeing how David called out Julian, most of them thought that the person in red jacket did something bad. Julian "What did I do?" Julian asked amused, he could tell from the reaction that the people around him gave, David was up to something and has thought of using them and seeing how confident he is while doing this, he has done it before. David "Ho, look how innocent you are acting now in front of all these people, while back inside the institute you were bullying other trainers and making them do things they were not willing to do" David said. Of course, these words from him caused the public''s opinion on Julian to stir up, they didn''t know what exactly happened but if this famous, very influenced person said it, it must be true. This was the mindset of everyone who worshiped other person and acted like a fan, Julian saw the reaction of the crowd and could tell what David was actually up to, he was also surprised by how easily these group of people got swayed, he didn''t even provide any proof about Julian and what he did but most of them are already seeing him in a bad light. Well, there were also some people who didn''t jump into conclusions as they still want to hear more about what is happening right now. Julian "Wow, you really are a joke, aren''t you?" Julian said and suddenly started tough. Chapter 691 - Mob Manipulation Julian didn''t expect David to act like this, he was actually thinking of using the public to attack him. Since David wanted to do this, Julian decided to y along and ruin his reputation along the way. David "Look at you acting as if you didn''t do anything, ying innocent in front of all these people, do you think I am scared of you? Guess what? You arepletely wrong buddy" ?? David continued without any facts or evidence but his method was clearly working as many people started to whisper and click photos of Julian and upload it online with captions that didn''t make any sense. Julian "Why don''t you stop beating around the bushes and tell me what I did so these people can start judging me with some context from now" Julian said with a sarcastic tone, hearing Julian many people around him got embarrassed as they were clearly judging him without any context but they are also angry at him for calling them out, it was as if he was looking down on them. David "Do I really have to say it, just thinking about it makes me puke" Now he was clearly dragging this out. Julian "Shut the fuck up and start barking" Julian lost his patients and red coldly at David, looking into Julian''s eyes David felt chills running down his spine as he slowly took a step back, he wanted to back down but it was already toote, he has attracted the attention of everyone around here. If he backs off now the media will grind his name to dirt. David still didn''t understand why this person was so hard to handle, first, he didn''t back of after hearing his father''s name and now he is not even bothered after being subjected to public pressure and humiliation, he wanted to make the mob attack Julian and break him but Julian was even a tougher nut to crack. Julian broke him down and ridiculed him in front of everyone and didn''t act like anyone who is guilty at all, this of course was noticed by the people and it was slowly backfiring on him. David "You are really sick, you first steal someone''s pokemon and now you are acting all innocent" As soon as David said this many people eximed, stealing pokemon is actually not that big of a crime but it is considered very bad among masses, so nobody wees people who are willing to steal other people''s pokemons. Julian "That''s absurd, whose pokemon did I even steal?" Julian asked. He didn''t like the idea of being titled a pokemon thief but he decided to continue, he wanted to embarrass David really badly now. David "Simon,e out" David suddenly called out someone from inside, soon a young timid looking young teenager who seems to be around 15 years old came out, everyone looked at him and saw how timid he looked, everyone thought he was clearly a victim seeing how hunched he was standing. While people were thinking about this, Julian was rather impressed by this boy''s performance, he was clearly acting and seeing how good he really was at showing people his innocence, it surprised him. David "You challenged poor Simon into a pokemon battle and forced him to wager his pokemon and after winning you took his pokemon away from him, I who has never allowed injustice to happen in front of my eyes will never let something like this happen, give Simon his pokemon back?" This statement clearly stored up things even more and seeing how timid this Simon guy acted, everyone believed that the man in the red jacket really did it. Julian "Simon was it?" Julian asked. He couldn''t believe how stupid these idiots are, they are clearly trying to use the public to steal his pokemon, this is the first time something like this happened to Julian. Simon "Yes, give me back my pokemon" He said with a low voice, it was as if he was almost scared to ask Julian. Julian "Which pokemon did I steal from you?" He asked. He was curious about which pokemon of his these idiots are after. Simon "Give...Give back my Darumaka" Julian also burst out intoughter after he heard the boy say he wanted his Darumaka. While Julian was trying his best to hold back hisughter, the crowd was getting a little wild, some of them even started to call out Julian for what David and Simon imed he did. People were getting nasty and there was already posts about this on the inte, David started to trend in Unova within a few minutes. This gained a lot of traction as David is a huge name and the heir of one of the biggest corporation in Unova, he is also known for how good he is at the pokemon battle, even though he has never participated in the Unova League before, he has had battles with veteran and elite trainers in Unova and has defeated them fairly. Now that he is creating a scene how could it not gain any attention on the inte, especially his fans who were started to share how good of a person David is and everyone was dissing the man in the red jacket for stealing pokemon from the young Simon. Chapter 692 - Wrong Move Many people on the inte got behind Simon and everyone wanted him to have his pokemon back, even the people around the Battle Institute were staring to shout and Julian and telling him to give the Darumaka back to Simon. Julian "So you want Darumaka huh?" ?? Julian asked. He was still calm, he wouldn''t lose his cool in front of such idiots who have no better thing to do than waste his time and try to steal his pokemon. Julian "Well let''s see, you im that you own Darumaka right, how about we let him decide who he wants to go to" Julian said and released his Darumaka out. When people saw the Darumaka they directly assumed that it belongs to Simon as he imed to be his and people always like to support the weak a helpless because they feel like they are doing something good by doing it. Julian "Go on, call him, if he really is your pokemon, he wille running to you" Julian said and just watched, he wanted to see how capable this David really is, since he orchestrated this whole thing, he must have a n to attract Darumaka towards him since their target was him from the very beginning. Just like Julian expected they did have something up his sleeve, the young Simon started to beckon Darumaka toe towards him, from what people saw everything seemed normal but Julian noticed it very clearly, the n these idiots were trying to use. There clearly something applied to Simon''s hand, the scent of very sweet nectar that many pokemons loved to lick, they wanted to get Darumaka''s attention through this sweet nectar, any young pokemon at Darumaka''s age would have gone directly for it as the nectar was too attractive of an offer. But Julian''s Darumaka is a little different, as soon as he smelled the fragrance of the nectaring from Simon''s hand, he started to get pissed, he could clearly tell that these people were telling him to lick that stupid nectar from the back of their hand. Darumaka hates sweet things, the sweeter a thing the more disgust he shows towards them, he only likes things that are very hot and spicy. Darumaka''s anger suddenly red up as he spewed out mes from his mouth, he looked angrily at David and Simon and suddenly charged at them using me Wheel, when they saw this they were shocked, they tried to move out of the way so they don''t get smashed by Darumaka. David being the asshole he is, grabbed Simon and put him right in front of him to block the me Wheel, too bad Simon couldn''t block such a powerful attack. Both Simon and David got blushed and crashed into the wall of the institute, seeing this everyone around the area was shocked, they couldn''t believe what they just saw, they thought that Darumaka belonged to Simon but seeing how angry he got and attacked them, no one in their right mind would believe that Darumaka belonged to Simon and even if he did, he was treated very badly. Julian "Darumaka,e back" Darumaka returned to Julian happily after causing the explosion, seeing how happy Darumaka was, it was clear that the man in the red jacket was the Darumaka''s trainer and the liars were Simon and David. Some even felt disgusted as they actually supported them, they even saw what David just did, just to protect himself he put someone in front of him, this clearly showed how shellfish he actually is. Things were going to get worse for David because this was all recorded in cameras and soon posted on the inte and just like that the mentality of the people changed in a second and they changed sides and started to support the man in the red jacket. Some trolls who were just watching from the sidelines also joined in and ridiculed the people who supported David and acted like self-righteous people. Simon and David woke up and looked around as they noticed how the people were looking at them with anger, Simon quickly got up and decided to run away as he doesn''t want to get beat up. Simon "It is all his fault, he said he will pay me money if I did as he says" Simon said and pointed at David before finally running away to the sides and disappearing from the sight of the crowd, his escape was a lot easier because everyone''s attention was on David and they all realized how fucked up of a person he actually is. His fans felt disgusted as they viewed him as an idol but now that his true colours are out, they hated themselves for liking him, well that is what they just posted on their SM site (social media site) who knows if they are telling the truth or not. Julian had expected this reaction from the start, he has been observing the behavior of the people for many years and he knows how easy it is to manipte a mob into thinking if something is right or wrong and if someone messed up and they got exposed, they will get red by everyone. In real life and on the inte, there is no escape. Chapter 693 - Devon Alester David''s little stunt backed fired on him very bad, the inte went wild as they saw what David was trying to do, using his influence and power to steal someone''s pokemon and also trying to manipte his own fans into thinking he is a good person by defending the weak. Even Simon who ran away couldn''t escape the angry inte mob, some people quickly found his SM and started to roast and nder him the whole day, he could do nothing but delete all of his SM and create apletely new one that no one can find out, what Simon is going through is not that seriouspared to David. ?? His whole reputation got destroyed, many massive corporations andpany who wanted to sponsor him for the Unova league backed off, even the ones who already made the deal canceled their contract with David. Just in a day, David went from one of the most liked people in Unova into one of the most hated people. There were also questions about who the man in the red jacket was but it got overshadowed by all the hate David was getting. Julian returned back to his hotel room and decided to take a rest and feed his pokemon, today''s battle at the Battle Institute was very helpful for both his pokemon, Darumaka, and Drilbur are very close to evolving, since they are pokemon with only two evolution stage it took them some time but now they will be able to use their full potential and they won''t be limited by anything in their growth. Julian has seen most of Nimbasa city and there is nothing much for him to do here except challenging the gym and moving to his next challenge. One more thing Julian noticed was that the Volcarona''s egg was developing very fast and healthy. If this continued it will hatch under a month, Julian was excited about it as Volcarona will be one of his most powerful pokemons in Unova, with the legends and myths behind their power. Known for their very high special attack and good special defense, they were the most desired fire type pokemon for every trainer who wants to focus mainly on fire type pokemons, but they are impossible to find. Julian knows that his luck is very goodpared to others but even he was surprised to find an egg and now he is rising one. A day went by just like that, nothing much happened except Crystal creating some trouble for Julian by blocking the toilet with toilet paper just because it had fun spinning it rapidly with its tiny hands, Julian had to call the hotel management for it and he was really embarrassed by it. The bacsh on David continued to grow, David became a depressed man after seeing his whole world crumble just because he messed with the wrong guy and at the end of the day, he doesn''t even know the identity of the person who is behind his downfall. ___________________ Inside a massive corporation, on the top floor, an old man is looking through the window down on the massive city of Nimbasa, this man is none other than Devon Alester, father of David Alester and one of the biggest figures in Unova. Wherever he goes, he gets respect but this is starting to change after the shameful disy of his spoiled son, because of David his reputation was getting tarnished. David "Dad, I am sorry, I didn''t expect his pokemon to attack us even after pressing the sweet nectar to that Darumaka" David said while his voice trembled, it was clear that he was afraid of his father. Mr. Alester "You know there are very few things in this life I value the most and the most important one of them all is my reputation, it took me ages toe to this point and because of your stupid arrogance, you ruined it all" He said and turned around looking at David with fierce eyes, seeing his father like this David got scared, he didn''t know what to do, he regretted thinking he about snatching Julian''s Darumaka, after seeing Darumaka in battle David got a little greedy and wanted to acquire it for himself but all his methods only led to his embarrassment and exposure of his true nature to the outside world. Mr. Alester walked towards David and removed the cloth glove that he was wearing and pped David out of nowhere. David didn''t say anything and just held on to his cheek, he has been hit by his father before many times, this was notmon, this happened a lot of times and he hated it every time, he hated his father for being like this. Mr. Alester "Did you find out who that man in the red jacket was?" He asked. Since this person was behind the reason for his reputation being tarnished he needed to teach this man in red and lesson. David "No, I found nothing, I even contacted the Battle Institute and asked them to reveal the identity of this person but they didn''t" David said. Hearing this Devon Alester frowned, he knew his influence so if they are not willing to give David this person''s information he suspected that someone very powerful is behind him. Mr. Alester "Hmm, let me talk to their president, he won''t deny me" He said and dialed the number of the president of the Battle Institute. Battle President "Hello, Mr. Alester, its a surprise, what''s the reason behind this call?" An old rough voice answered Mr. Alester. Mr. Alester "I will get straight to the point, it''s about that person who humiliated my son, I need his identity" He asked directly. Battle President "Mr. Alester, I cannot do that, it''s our policy to not reveal the identity of a member if they don''t want it to be exposed" He said directly. Mr. Alester "Bullshit, I know you, old man. You will sell anything for a good price, name yours" Battle President "Hehe, you know me well Mr. Alester but this time I cannot give you this information, let me give you a piece of advice, forget about it and it will pass, if you pursue this matter you will regret your decision just like your son" The President warned him onest time before ending the call, he knew this conversation won''t go any further so he didn''t want to carry on the conversation. Devon Alester just looked at his whole with a grim look, he got so angry that he crushed his phone with his bare hands, one thing about Devon Alester is that he gets very angry and he cannot stop unless he gets back his revenge. This was his way and it helped him climb up to the ce he is now, he had destroyed everyone who stood in his way. Mr. Alester ''From the looks of it, this person or the one behind him is very powerful and even that old man doesn''t want to mess with him, I need another force to deal with him'' Mr. Alester thought and took out another phone and dialed a number from his memory. "Hello?" Mr. Alester "It''s me Alester" "Oh, Mr. Alester, what a surprise, I didn''t think I would receive a call from you so soon, hehehe" The person on the other end of the phoneughed as he had a very sinister voice. Chapter 694 - Gym Leader Elesa Mr. Alester "Did you see the news?" He asked. ?? "Hehehe, of course, how can I not see it, it''s all over the media, your son is a special one, hehehehe" The person on the other side said. Mr. Alester "Ok, I want you to find the person in that red jacket and break his arms and legs, also capture all his pokemons and give them to me" He said. Since he has already called this person he wanted to go all out and destroy the life of this person in red, it didn''t matter who was behind him, once this person on the other end of the phone deals with him, no one will be able to trace it back to him. "Hahahaheheheh, you know you already owe a huge deal to the underworld, do you want one more thing to pile up, you know your future generation will also suffer from this right?" The person on the other side said. Mr. Alester took a nce at his son who is just staring at him like an idiot. Mr. Alester "It doesn''t matter, do it" "Hehehahaha, ok then, I will call you when it''s done" With that, the call ended, Alester didn''te to this level doing good stuff, he got involved with many gangs and crooks, he then got introduced to the underworld and became a part of it after owing them many favors, his life is not his own but the underworlds. If he wants to continue living his luxury life he has to do what the underworld tells him to do and in return, he might get to ask favor like this, assassination, kidnapping, and many other things. He can do it with the help of the underworld. _____________________ Julian continued his day with his usual routine, after doing so he headed towards the Nimbasa gym as he is ready to challenge the gym. He soon arrived in front of the Nimbasa gym, he has already done his research on her gym and he has a general idea on how to handle her pokemons but she still has a reputation of being very hard on her opponents, before entering the gym Julian changed his clothes again, he put on a blue jacket this time. The best way to avoid the public eye is to constantly keep changing appearance and not sticking to the same theme, so his wardrobe is now filled with different color jackets. The gym in front of him looks very sh, with purple shining paint and lightning strips going everywhere, no one would confuse this gym like any other typing an electric. As he walked in he heard sounds of explosionsing from the battlefield, it was clear that the gym leader was having a battle, Julian sighed as he knew he will not be able to battle her today, he regretteding herete. Julian ''Since I am already here, let''s see how good the gym leader really is'' Julian thought and walked through a gate that allowed visitors to entered the audience area and watch the battle. When he walked in he was not the only one in the audience area, there were some people who were sitting and watching the battle, Julian noticed one person in particr as he has seen him before. It was that young man he saw at the beginning of his journey in Unova, the one who had a Grapploct, the one who came from Gr just to battle him in the Unova League, Julian only remembered him because of the pokemon he had, the one from Gr. Julian got curious and took a seat far away from the people already sitting in the audience area, nobody bothered to notice him as he didn''t stand out anyways, they werepletely focused on the battle that is happening in front of them. Julian also looked at the battlefield and noticed another familiar face, it was Kelly, the one he battled yesterday, as he watched the battle he realized that Kelly was going to lose, he noticed how fluid Elesa, the gym leader of Nimbasa gym actually was during her attack. Even though Kelly continued using her aggressive style, she was not able to hand any significant hits on Elesa''s pokemons that gave her an edge, soon Elesa''s Zebstrikanded a wild charge on Kelly''s Dragonair and knocked it out. Julian was really impressed by how good Elena was, he could clearly tell she had a deep connection with her pokemons and they could predict their opponent''s moves when their opponents started to fall under pressure. Kelly sighed as she lost once again, this was her second loss in Unova, she also realized how tough thepetition was here in Unova. Elesa "If you want to participate in the Unova league you need to work harder, the trainers I have fought before are lot stronger than you, both in technique and strength, with champion Julian deration and him challenging the whole world for a good battle, this year''s league has be much harder, only the best of the best can get into the league, with your current performance, you will not be able to even get in the top 128" Elesa was very hard on her words but Julian didn''t me her, his challenge did make this year''s Unova league really hard for young trainers who wanted to get a chance at bing famous. If they had talent they might get a chance but they won''t make it if they just rely on their talent. Elesa "Not just your trainers, but we the gym leader are also pressured by this, so we have to go even harder on our opponents as only the best can move forward. If you really want to enter the league, you have to do better" Elesa said. Kelly just nodded and decided to train a little more beforeing back, what Julian didn''t know that the gym leaders from here on will be much harder on their opponents because the standard of the league has risen very high. Hearing this Julian got a little excited, even a promising trainer like Kelly lost and she needs to train even more to advance forward, Julian knows he will have some good battles in the league. Chapter 695 - Glen From Galar Kelly left after her loss, she didn''t do too good against Elena so she knew she has to work even harder beforeing back to challenge Elesa again. Once she was out of the battlefield, Elesa looked at the people in the audience as she waited for her second challenger to step forward, other than Julian there are two more people waiting for their chance, one is a trainer Julian has no idea about and the other is the guy from Gr. ?? Julian doesn''t know this muscr guy from Gr''s name but he did make an impression on Julian with his pokemon, Julian looked at him to see if he will step in or not. But he didn''t he let the other trainer step into a battle, this battle didn''tst long at all as Elesa destroyed the random trainer and sent him out of the gym disappointed and embarrassed. Else once again looked at the audience area, she first looked at the muscr guy then at Julian, the muscr guy also looked at Julian and smiled. "Are you going, I can wait" He said with a grin on his face. Julian "You can go, I don''t n to battle today, I am just here to watch" "Well then, its time for me to win another badge for myself" The muscr guy said and got off his seat and immediately jumped down over the rails and into the battlefield. He is quite big for a human, standing more than 6 feet tall and massive muscles, he was intimidating if people didn''t look at his face, which is that of a kid. "My name is Glen and I havee all the way from Gr to defeat Julian and you are just one of the obstacles I have to go through" The muscr man addressed his name and took his position on the battlefield. Else red at this man and didn''t reply to hisment, many challengers came and challenged her but very few came close to defeating her, and even among them some of them only made through, with Julian''s challenge to the whole world, gym leaders from Elesa''s level had to level up their performance to battle their challengers. If they kept to the old standards, many trainers would have qualified for the Unova League but this time that cannot happen, they cannot allow trainers who are not good enough to enter the league, in the past, the gym leaders always went easy and many rookie trainers made it to the league and felt very proud of themselves because of it. Well, it was all nned by the league so that young trainers who just started their journey don''t get discouraged and lose sight of their goal, but now things are different, if the gym leaders allow these rookies to move forward towards the Unova League, they will get crushed by trainers who are monsters who are on a simr level as the Elite Four and the champions. Elesa didn''t think much about this trainer in front of her as he is the same as anyone that came before to challenge her. The referee stepped into the battlefield and started to talk about the rules of the battle, it was a normal pokemon battle rule with only the challenger allowed to switch pokemon while the gym leader couldn''t, and it will be a three vs three pokemon battle. Julian kept his eyes on Glen as he imed that he will be the one to defeat Julian, Julian has seen what his pokemon can do but it was never pushed to the edge nor was Glen, anyone could tell he is a strong trainer by the performance his Grapploct gave, but what was his limit, Julian wanted to know. And who else could do it better than Elesa who is one of the strongest gym leaders in Unova, but inexperience and power, she has had many battles during her whole career, even though she looks young, she has fought many battles, her rivals also being one of the Elite Four Caitlin, she even has some history with Cynthia and have battled before. So Julian doesn''t underestimate her, during his whole journey his girlfriend Cynthia is the only one who he considered the strongest after him, he has not met anyone that could beat his cheat, until then Cynthia will always be the second strongest to him, so someone who has battled with Cynthia before and is recognized by her, Julian won''t underestimate. Now he wants to see how Elesa will hold up against her, how good he really is, iming that he will be able to defeat Julian is not something anyone would say so easily, Julian could tell he has confidence just from the way he acted. Julian wants to see how hepared to Yesh, who has impressed Julian more than anyone, his speed of learning is beyond anyone Julian has seen before. With all the rules presented in front of the trainers, the battle started with both of them choosing their first pokemon. Glen threw his Pokeball up in the air and sent out his first pokemon, as the pokemonnded on the battlefield, Julian was surprised by seeing it as this was a pokemon he has never seen before, a white bird pokemon that is holding a massive leek that looks like a sword. He was fascinated by how this pokemon looked and how serious its eyes are, he could tell this pokemon was born to battle. Chapter 696 - Elesa Vs Glen Julian doesn''t know what this pokemon is so he took out his phone and clicked its picture and see what shows up on the inte and he soon found a match, the name of this pokemon is Sirfetch''d, the evolved form of Grian Farfetch''d. Julian was surprised to find out about this, all this time he knew that Farfetch''d cannot evolve but it looks like there is a regional variant in Gr that is capable of evolving, he looked more into this pokemon and learned that it loves to fight and will challenge any pokemon that it feels is as strong or stronger than it to grow stronger. ?? After lots of training and mastering its art, a Grian Farfetch''d evolves into Sirfetch''d. After reading this he looked more into this pokemon as he got interested, he also learned about these pokemons having ridiculous attack power, this was another surprise for Julian, as a normal Farfetch''d that is found here and other regions he has visited before were mediocre at best, even though he believed that he could train any pokemon into being a strong pokemon. Farfetch''d was still limited because of their body, it had a low defense, low special attack, low special defense, low speed, the only thing that was not low was its attack but it was just average. If Julian tried his best he could make a normal Farfetch''d a champion level pokemon but it will take very long, he would have to over level it just so that it can keep up with itspetitors and other pokemon in Julian''s team. It would have to do double the trainingpared to all of Julian''s elite pokemons. So he never bothered with one, but this Grian Farfetch''d caught his interest because it waspletely different from a normal Farfetch''d and way stronger and was able to evolve, Julian already decided to catch one when he visits Gr. Julian put his focus back to the battlefield as Elesa chose her first pokemon as well, she sent out Ampharos, an electric type pokemon, Julian smiled seeing the match up. None of them had an advantage over the other, it was a battle between pure strength versus elemental power, while Sirfetch''d boasted unrivaled attack power and good defense, Ampharoses are known for their control over electricity and how powerful their special attacks really are, they also have a very good special defense. This battle totally depended on who would be able tond the better hit on the other. Elesa was also surprised to see the pokemon that stood in front of her Ampharos but it didn''t bother her, her job was to battle anyone that challenges her and then defeat them, that is what the league wants her to do this year for the Unova League. The battle started and Elesa made her first move and asked for a Thunderbolt, Ampharos shot a powerful Thunderbolt at Sirfetch''d. Seeing the attacking towards them, Glen smiled and tightly gripped his fist in excitement and asked his Sirfetch''d to smash right through Ampahros''s Thunderbolt. His Sirfetch''d pulled its massive leek sword back as dark energy covered its leek sword and then swung it right at the iing Thunderbolt while using Brutal Swing, as the two attacksnded it created a massive thunderous sound and smoke covered the whole area but Julian saw everything and he was surprised by the oue. Glen''s Sirfetch''d tore through the Thunderbolt as if it was nothing and on top of that its swordnded on the ground and split it into two. He didn''t expect this much power from the little pokemon with a massive sword, it was no wonder why it saw Sirfetch''d boasted ridiculous power, Glen''s Sirfetch''d then started to move towards Ampharos and it was quite quick on its feet, not the fastest thing Julian has ever seen but it was clearly faster than its opponent. Glen "Use another Brutal Swing" Seeing the threat heading straight towards her pokemon Elesa, quickly made a decision to counter-attack, there was still a lot of space between both pokemon and Elesa knew she can still attack. Another Thunderbolt charged at Sirfetch''d and the same thing happened, the Thunderbolt got smashed into nothingness while the Sirfetch''d kept moving forward. Seeing her attacks are not having any effect, Elesa was shocked, Thunderbolt was one of her most powerful moves and her opponent is tearing right through it, and now it is toote to counter with another one because Sirfetch''d is already close to her Ampharos. Sirfetch''d used another Brutal Swing, aiming straight for Ampharos''s head. Elesa "Use Protect" Ampharos quickly put up and shield in front of it and blocked the Brutal Swing, as the movended on the Protect, it cracked without any resistance but Elesa got enough time for another attack. Elesa "Now Thunderbolt" Ampharos sted another Thunderbolt straight through the weakened Protect and this time Sirfetch''d couldn''t counter it and the attacknded shocking the sword pokemon. Elesanded a hit and Sirfetch''d got badly hurt from it. Elesa "Finish it with Thunder Punch" A closebat physical move was a good choice here as Ampharos''s opponent was dazed by the Thunderbolt but the Sirfetch''d suddenly snapped out and used its leaf shield on its other arm to block the Thunder Punch. Electricity passed through its body as it defended the move directly but Glen didn''t seem to be bothered by it at all. Glen "Now, smash right through it, use Counter" With all the damage the Sirfetch''d took, it sent it back to Ampharos with double the amount, its massive leek sword smashed right on top of Ampharos''s head and created a massive explosion, as the smoke cleared up, the result was clear. Elesa''s Ampharos''s is down and out cold, it couldn''t take that much power. With this first round went to Glen as he still had a big happy grin on his face. Chapter 697 - Elesa Vs Glen (2) Glen was more powerful than Julian expected, his Sirfetch''d is very powerful as well, to destroy a full power Thunderbolt with just one attack and continue with the destructive energy, it showed how powerful those Brutal Swings really are. Glen has already established he is the stronger trainer here and Elesa needs to step up her game a little if she wants to challenge the Sirfetch''d that is with Glen. ?? Elesa smiles as she looks at the confident grin on Glen, she knows he is clearly one of those monsters that will enter the league and dominate their opponents until they stumble onto other monsters or Julian if they are really unlucky. Elesa "You are good but that won''t be enough to win against me" Elesa said. She knows she could do better and decided to level up a little to put more pressure on her opponent as he has clearly shown that he is superior to the others who have challenged her before. Glen "Who said I was going all out as well, I am just waiting for you to take me seriously, your Ampharos was just a warning" Glen said with confidence, the more Julian looked at him the more he was interested in this person, he was clearly very strong, even though his Sirfetch''d is young and not as strong as his Grapploct, it can grow to that level before the Unova League, with its power it can go through anything. Now Julian wants to see its limit, he already has a grasp of its power but what is its limit, that is unknown, even though that Thunderbolt hit it very hard, Julian could clearly see that the little white bird can continue battling. Elesa "Then, don''t hold back now" She said and sent out her next pokemon, a bug/electric type pokemon, Galvant. These pokemons are known for their speed and special attack, these twobinations never let any trainer down as they can maintain their distance from their enemy and keep on attacking, while without being in fear of getting attacked by the other party as well due to their impressive speed. Glen got serious as he knew a faster opponent can be hard for him to ovee but just like before he only needs one good hit to take down this pokemon as well so he didn''t switch his pokemon, he wants to take this gym down with only his Sirfetch''d if possible. With both pokemons on the battlefield, the referee started to battle again and this time Elesa made the first move, her Galvant has an average physical attack and a good special attack and with speed by her side, she should be able to dominate this battle. Elesa "Thunderbolt" Elesa started off with a Thunderbolt to see how Glen will react to it, will he use the same tactic as before or will he try something new, as the Thunderbolt jolted towards Sirfetch''d, Glen, called out for another Brutal Swing to counter it. All this time Glen has only made his Sirfetch''d use Brutal Swing and one Counter, he hid his arsenal very well and it wille in handy to him in the battleter, now Elesa has to work on forcing Glen to call out Sirfetch''d other attacks so she can begin her attacks. Approaching an opponent who has not fully revealed its card is dangerous and Elesa knows it clearly, seeing that Glen is still sticking to Brutal Swing, she decided to pressure him more. Elesa "Use String Shot" With Galvant''s speed, it quickly got around Sirfetch''d and shot a long string of sticky silk at Sirfetch''d. Glen "Use Protect" As Sirfetch''d is not fast enough to dodge that String Shot, Glen went for a defensive maneuver and sessfully blocked the String Shot from wrapping around Sirfetch''d but Elesa got her chance to attack now. Elesa "Use Discharge" She called for a wide-scale attack, Discharge is a very strong electric type attack that hits anyone on the battlefield, it is a little weaker than a Thunderbolt but it still does a lot of damage, having no way to escape this attack. Sirfetch''d got zapped hard once again. Elesa "Use Signal Beam" Elesa didn''t stop attacking, she realized that she will be able to dominate her opponent until she is able to keep his pokemon away from hers, she decided to keep her distance and keep attacking. The Signal Beam shot straight at Sirfetch''d and was about to hit it when it suddenly raised its shield and blocked it head-on, that leaf shield in its hand was really effective at blocking stuff. Glen "That''s it Sirfetch''d, now charge forward" Glen shouted in excitement and his Sirfetch''d started to move, pointing its leek sword at Galvant, it charged at it. Elesa "Use Thunderbolt" Galvant sted a Thunderbolt but Sirfetch''d destroyed it with Brutal Swing again. Elesa "Destroy this, use Discharge" Galvant released a wide-area electric st that charged at everything in the battlefield, Sirfetch''d couldn''t destroy this so it could only put its leaf shield in front of it and charge forward. The Discharge hit it and shocked it hard but Sirfetch''d kept moving while gritting its teeth, it showed its determination on taking down its opponent who clearly has a massive advantage over it but it doesn''t want to give up at all. Elesa is shocked by seeing this, she couldn''t believe that this pokemon would continue its charge forward towards her Galvant. Elesa "Use Bounce" Though her Special Attack was doing damage to Sirfetch''d she didn''t know if her Galvant could continue its attack, there is a limit to the amount of Special Attack a pokemon can move, once the energy inside its body is finished it will lose its strength and stamina and some might even faint. It is not ok to continue attacking, she could tell her Galvant was pushing itself with the continuous discharge and it would have fainted if it continued its attack, seeing how persistent the Sirfetch''d is against going down, she knew she has to get close and deliver the finishing blow. She called out for Bounce as it is the only flying type move her Galvant knows that can deal a lot of damage to Sirfetch''d who is a fighting type. Her Galvant used its powerful legs to jump high up in the sky and came crashing down on Sirfetch''d while its body was covered with flying type energy. Seeing his chance Glen also called out his move as well. Glen "Counter with Throat Chop" Sirfetch''d aimed its sword at the air towards the falling Galvant, its aim straight at the intersection between Galvant''s head and body, as Galvant got close, Sirfetch''d pulled its sword back and thrust it at Galvant at full power. Both attacks shed and created a massive explosion, as the smoke cleared up both pokemons could be seen on the ground while staring at each other, suddenly Galvant twitched and its legs went weak and it copsed on the ground as it got knocked out. Chapter 698 - Elesa Vs Glen (3) Once again Glen and his Sirfetch''d surprised Elesa and Julian, he won the second round with his Sirfetch''d just like he wanted. While others couldn''t figure out what happened, Julian saw it clearly, he saw the Throat Chopnding before the Bounce, because of the reach advantage that Sirfetch''d had with its leek sword, it connected first and the explosion took ce. ?? Sirfetch''d only suffered from the bacsh of the sh, Galvant was the one who took the whole damage, both from the explosion and the Throat Chop from Sirfetch''d, It couldn''t take all that and fainted while Sirfetch''d escaped from heavy injury due to its reach. Julian looked at Glen and saw that he is still smiling, it was as if he expected all this or he was just too happy about winning the second round with his Sirfetch''d. He then shifted his sight to the Sirfetch''d and realized something, this pokemon still had enough energy to continue moving forward and battle, Julian is now really surprised, the amount of toughness and stamina this pokemon has shown is ridiculous even for Julian''s standard. Even only a few of Julian''s pokemon are able to do so, this made Julian excited a little, he wondered if Sirfetch''d can handle his Darumaka''s onught, Darumaka being his strongest pokemon is no joke, he alone can take down all the pokemons that Elesa has sent out till now. Julian wanted to really battle this Glen as he would be a tough opponent to crack, defeating him won''t be a problem but how long will it take for Julian to take him down is the biggest question he has right now. Elesa is pretty shocked by the oue of that exchange, while her Galvant was taken down, she could clearly see that Glen''s Farfetch''d is still on its feet ready to battle further, others may think that Glen is pushing his pokemon to the edge but an experienced trainer like her knows the difference being pushed and wanting to battle further. This pokemon of Glen is a real battle maniac and it won''t back down no matter who it is against, the only way of stopping itpletely is by draining it out of all its power till it tiers down and gets knocked out, till then this pokemon will keep going. She called her Galvant back and sent out herst pokemon for the battle, her strongest pokemon at this level, her Zebstrika. Julian looked at this pokemon and nodded his head, he could tell that this was clearly very strong, just the aura around it was differentpared to her previous pokemon, a very fast physical attacked, he knew this one will be as exciting as a battle as before. Glen stuck with his Farfetch''d as he was clear on clearing this challenge with only one pokemon. With both trainers ready the referee signaled for the third and final round between them, once again Elesa made the first move and made it a big one. Elesa "Zebstrika, use Wild Charge" Julian ''Going big, does she wants to end it in one go, too bad that is not gonna happen'' Julian thought as he saw the smile on Glen''s face. Glen "Sirfetch''d look, she wants to challenge up based on pure strength, let''s show them what we got, use Night sh" Zebstrika sneered and raised its two hooves up in the air while electricity ran thought and over its body, it mmed its hooves on the ground, cracking it, then it charged at Sirfetch''d with full power as it left behind a trail of lightning. Sirfetch''d cried and pulled its sword back as dark energy covered the whole sword, its hand, then its body, it was clearly a very powerful concentrated one hit move from Sirfetch''d. Sirfetch''d ready to swing its sword as Zebstrika got closer to it under seconds, once they were in range, Sirfetch''d swung and Zebstrika bowed its head pointing its horns at Sirfetch''d. Both of them shed and the explosion from it was massive, it covered the whole battlefield and it was followed by a thunderous sound that shook the whole stadium, Julian felt it through his legs and into his body, this was a sh between two of the most powerful attacks at their level and it was enough to cause a vibration to travel through the whole stadium. As the smoke cleared up both pokemon could be seen standing on their feet ring at each other, Sirfetch''d was clearly in bad condition but it had been battling from the very beginning while Zebstrika was a little better but it did take a lot of damage from that Night sh, it was clear that Sirfetch''d won that exchange even though its opponent had used a stronger move. Julian was now really impressed by the capability that this Sirfetch''d showed, this Glen could easily take down both Ash and Yesh at the level they are now, but he cannot say anything about their future. It didn''t stop there as the bacsh from the Wild Charge hit Zebstrika and its legs became weak, Zebstrika was about to go down but stabilized itself again and sneered at Sirfetch''d. Glen "Let''s finish this, use Sr de" Glen decided to end this battle once and for all with his Sirfetch''d strongest move, Sr de. Sr particles started to collect in the leek sword and got charged up. Elesa "Use Agility" Elesa asked Zebstrika to increase its speed as she was clearly up to something right now. As Sirfetch''d Sr de charged uppletely, it moved towards Zebstrika and swung its sword. Elesa "Wild Charge" Zebstrika also attacked with another Wild Charge, seeing this Julian frowned as it is very clear that Elesa will lose this exchange and even the battle if both attacks collide, he wondered what Elesa is thinking as he knows she is a very experienced pokemon trainer. He waited for the result as he knew that Elesa is up to something or she wouldn''t have set up that Agility before. As both pokemons collided something happened, all the energy that was inside the leek sword suddenly disappeared, it was as if it got transferred into Zebstrika. Seeing this Julian suddenly realized what just happened, Elesa''s Zebstrika''s ability kicked in, some Zebstrikas are known to have the ability, Sap Sipper. This ability gives them immunity to Grass-type moves and when every they get hit by a grass type move, their physical attack strength increases. Julian ''So that''s why'' Julian thought and smiled as he watched the Sirfetch''d getting sted back and then crashing into the ground. That Wild Charge had more power behind it due to the sudden power up and on top of that, Zebstrika didn''t even take any damage. Glen frowned as he saw this, he then looked at his Sirfetch''d to see if it is able to continue or not. Julian thought it was over but he suddenly noticed the Sirfetch''d got back on its feet again, it struggled a little but it still got to its feet and Julian is shocked. Julian ''What the fuck, how much can this pokemon even take?'' He thought. Now it waspletely ridiculous to him, even his pokemons won''t be able to get up after taking such a big hit, maybe some of them like Garchomp, Tyranitar, etc, all the bulky ones. Having such a small structure, it is clear that it doesn''t have a ridiculous defense and it has already suffered a lot of damage and it is clearly visible but it is still able to get up. Glen "That''s it, yes, this battle is not over, use Sword Dance" Sirfetch''d cried and activated Sword Dance and increased its attack significantly. Elesa was also shocked by this and couldn''t believe her eyes, her opponent was too hell-bent on winning, but she has alreadye this far and she is not giving up so easily as well. Zebstrika was already suffering from thatst Wild Charge. Elesa "Let''s do it, Wild Charge, onest time" Zebstrika didn''t care and charged up for another Wild Charge. Glen "Get ready, use Throat Chop" Sirfetch''d used itsst bit of energy and pulled its sword back as dark energy surrounded its whole sword alone with its whole body, its eyes fixed on its target Zebstrika, ready to just pierce through it. Zebstrika''s hoovesnded on the cracked ground and shattered it while electricity coursed through its body, lightning sparkled and it charged at Sirfetch''d with full power. Both pokemons cried out, trying to put as much power as they can behind their attack, both trainers were also very tensed, Elesa had a serious expression the whole time while her sweat was being sent flying back just from the force of these attack. Glen was grinning with excitement, his eyes wide as he covered them with his arm so nothing gets in his eyes. Then it happened, both pokemons collided and what happened next was big, white light escaped from the top of the stadium, Julian had to put up a barrier before him so that his clothes don''t get burned, the referee had to hide behind a protective shield that are provided to them. The whole battlefield crumbled under the pressure from these two attacks colliding and after a second there wasplete silence. Chapter 699 - Dumber Than A Kid After the massive explosion came silence as the smoke tried to escape through the ceiling, once everything was clear the result of the exchange was visible, both pokemons were on the ground fainted. Finally, the Sirfetch''d went down but it took down Zebstrika with it, Julian was really satisfied with the result, Glen proved himself to be more than better, he was one of the best trainers Julian has ever seen, his way of battling is nothing new but the way his pokemon kept on attacking showed his training was quite different and it showed results. ?? His pokemon didn''t go down, no matter how strong a pokemon is they should not be able to handle hits like Sirfetch''d did but it still stood its ground and brought down three opponents which were equal or even stronger than it. Julian was so satisfied that he started to p which broke the silence as everyone looked at him, Julian didn''t mind their staring and continued to p, the referee also snapped out of his confusion after hearing Julian''s p and gave the result. Referee "Both pokemons are unable to battle, this leaves the gym leader with no pokemon while the challenger still has two pokemon remaining, hence the winner of the battle is Glen from Gr" As the referee gave his result both trainers looked at each other with respect, Elesa knew she lost fair and square, she gave it her all but her opponent still defeated her. She smiled and took out the Bolt Badge and handed it over to Glen for defeating her. Elesa "I hope I will be able to see you in the top 32, don''t lose to anyone" She said. Glen was the first opponent who overwhelmed her so she decided to support him in this league and see him face the ultimate challenge that is Julian. Glen "Ha, I am going to win the whole thing" He said and took the badge and looked at it with a big smile, Julian sighed as he looked at the state of the stadium, it was totally destroyed and it will take some time to repair or rece it so he decided it was time to leave. He got up from his seat and walked away, Elesa who had been keeping her eye on him noticed him leaving and sighed in relief. Glen "What happened?" He asked confused as he saw Elesa take a deep breath in relief, it was as if a big pressure was lifted off of her. Elesa "You are very lucky, you battled right in front of Champion Julian and even got a round of apuse from him, you must have entered his radar" She said. Hearing her Glen''s jaw dropped and he looked at the audience area to look at the person in the red jacket but he was gone. Glen "Wait, you are not joking right, it was the Julian?" Glen asked in shock, he couldn''t believe what he was hearing. Elesa "I am hundred percent sure, it was him, I am a huge fan, I can never mistake those eyes anywhere" She said proudly. Glen "Holy shit, I need to catch up to him and ask him to battle me" Glen suddenly said and rushed out of the stadium in search of Julian leaving behind Elesa. Elesa "I need to get ready as well since he was here to watch me battle, he wille and challenge me soon after, I need to get ready" Elesa also bolted off in a hurry as she needs to prepare herself for her big gym battle against Julian. ____________________ Julian walked outside the gym and found no one around, since its around working hours no one seems to be around the area, as he was about to walk through the gate someone suddenly called him out from behind. Glen "Hey wait, you are not going anywhere" Julian turned around and look at this person, it was none other that Glen, he got confused as to why he is stopping him here and why. Glen "You are Julian, right? Battle with me" Glen dered loudly, luckily no one was around to hear it and cause amotion here, what Julian was more surprised was how this man found out that it was him. Julian "Julian? I don''t know any Julian" He said while deepening his voice, trying to get away from here, he didn''t feel good talking here, he felt something will go wrong if he stays here any longer. Glen "You are not Julian?" He asked confused. Julian "No, I don''t, who is Julian?" He said. He is really nervous, he didn''t want to give away his identity and he definitely didn''t want to battle this bulky man right now. Glen "Ah, man, I got duped, shit, she is a terrible woman" Julian "Who?" Glen "That gym leader, she said you were Julian, now that I think about it, why would he be here?" Julian "I don''t know what you are talking about, I am leaving" He said and turned around and started to walk away. Glen "Ya, whatever, I am hungry as well, need to eat something" He said and left. Julian sighed as he saw Glen walk away. Julian "Wow he is dumb, even a kid wouldn''t have believed me" He said andughed awkwardly and left the area before Glen returns back realizing that he got really duped this time. Chapter 700 - Fourth Gym Battle In Unova Julian didn''t expect to escape so easily from Glen but he was satisfied with the result, he was able to get back to his hotel room without being noticed by anyone, he checked on Yesh to see what he is doing. Yesh also seems to be training and this time he wanted to train on his own so he went to the trainer''s park nearby to battle other trainers, unlike Julian he doesn''t have any fame or record for him to qualify to enter the Battle Institute. ?? During these days when Julian was not around him, Yesh seems to be learning a lot, he was stuck to Julian and got to learn some basic fundamentals that are needed to be a good trainer but he also needs to observe and learn by looking at other trainers and their pokemon. Sticking with the same thing won''t help at all because trainers keep evolving with time and sticking to the same thing and not evolving along with time will cause them to fall behind. Julian didn''t want to bother with Yesh training so he left him alone and decided to get his badge before thinking about anything else. As soon as the next day arrived, Julian headed straight to the Nimbasa gym to challenge the gym leader, just like yesterday no one seems to be around the gym, the locals of the Nimbasa gym are too busy with their work that they don''t have any timesing here and watching a pokemon battle. As he entered the gym he saw the gym caretaker standing there doing his usual work, when he saw a man in a blue jacket and a ck mask just walked in, he realized it was Julian as the gym leader Elesa had already informed him about Julian''s arrival. Caretaker "Please enter, the gym leader has been waiting for you" Julian nodded his head expecting that the caretaker knows about his identity and entered the battlefield, when he walked in he noticed that the destroyed battlefield waspletely reced with a new one and this one also seems to be reinforced so that they won''t shatter like yesterday. Elesa had already expected a massive powerful battle so she was ready, as he looked around he someone familiar sitting on the audience seat, it was none other than Glen who he had fooled yesterday and escaped. Glen "Hey I know you are Julian, you lied to me" He shouted while pointing at Julian. When he saw Glen he quickly looked away as if he didn''t see or hear him. Seeing that Julian was avoiding him Glen felt frustrated and before he could even vent out his frustration, the gym leader suddenly walked in, she looked a little tense as she saw the person standing opposite to her on the battlefield. Glen became silent as he knew that the battle is about to start and he cannot butt in now and just decided to watch the battle between Julian and Elesa, Elesa was the toughest gym leader he had battled till now in Unova and he wanted to see how she will perform in front of the trainer that is called the greatest in the generation by many people. Everybody wants to defeat him but no one has evene close to it, Julian has this massive target on his back but even then no one is able to hit this target, everyone wanted to do the impossible and defeat him making themselves a massive name and also get the title of the Greatest of The Generation that belongs to Julian. Elesa seemed a little nervous before but she cleared up her mind as soon as she stood on her side of the battlefield, right now she is not a fan but a gym leader who is ready to battle the challenger no matter who this person is. Elesa "I won''t go down so easily" She said and took out her first Pokeball. Julian "We will see about that" Julian said and took out his own Pokeball as well, he liked how confident Elesa is right now even though when he noticed how nervous she was just a few seconds ago, he could tell his identity intimidated her but she is still able to control herself when ites to her job and Julian respected it. The referee soon walked in and looked at both trainers and started to exin the rules, it was the same as when Elesa battled Glen, a three on three pokemon battle where only the challenger is allowed to switch pokemon in middle of the battle. Referee "Both trainers may choose your pokemon" With the referee''s signal, Elesa sent out her first pokemon, Eelektrik. Julian looked at this pokemon and knew this will be a tough battle for him if he used Darumaka, Eelektrik is the evolved form of Tynamo and they are known for theirte evolution, the time they take to evolve from Tynamo to Eelektrik is longer than some pokemon that are able to evolve to their final third stage. So Julian knew this pokemon that he is going to battle is a very high level one, thankfully Elesa hasn''t used a Thunder Stone on it to make it evolve into its final form, she knows that a fully evolved Eelektross is too powerful for a fourth gym. Julian also sent out his first pokemon, Drilbur. His Drilbur is very close to evolving, in fact, he has been holding back from evolving into his final state that is Excadrill, he still wanted to refine himself but Julian knew it is time for Drilbur to evolve, sometimes a pokemon can never refine its powers to its best ability in its base form, it has to evolve to continue further. He wants Drilbur to evolve and this battle should be perfect, in fact, Julian is nning to evolve his Darumaka as well as he has already reached the limit of his fire control, he won''t be able to further his fire''s power without evolving. Elesa will be a good challenge for both Drilbur and Darumaka and push them to evolve. Chapter 701 - Elesa Vs Julian (1) With both sides ready with their pokemon, the referee didn''t waste any time and started the battle with a wave and the battle started. This time Julian went right for the offensive, most of the times he would wait for his opponents to make a move and see what they try to do but Julian has already seen how Elesa battles, even though he knows she might not follow her usual battle style as she knows he has seen her battle, it is very hard for a trainer to change their battle style out of the blue and started to use a new battle style. ?? If Julian pressures her enough she will go back to what she is mostfortable with and then he will start his main attack, a pokemon battle has always been psychological for Julian whenever he faces opponents because they would often start to think of a way to get back at Julian. There are sometimes when his psychology doesn''t work and that is during his battle with muscle heads who only focus on attack and attack only as they don''t care about how much they got hit, they only think about hitting others. This battle is going to can be very long because both pokemon is immune to the other pokemons typing, while Drilbur is a ground type and is immune to Electricity, Eelektrik is immune to ground type attacks because of its ability Levitate. So the only way they can damage each other is by not relying on their own typing. Julian "Use Metal w" Drilbur used the ground as his advantage to move faster, above the ground his speed is below average but under the ground, he is very fast, he dug right through the ground and disappeared from Eelektrik''s vision. This was a little troublesome for Elesa and her Eelektrik because they don''t know where Drilbur is going to attack but Elesa already has a n in her mind and is ready to counter-attack even though it is very risky. Elesa "Stand your ground" She informed her Eelektrik to stay still as it floated above the ground. Suddenly Drilbur emerged right below Eelektrik andnded the Metal w right on Eelektrik''s belly and the hit was massive, Eelektrik screeched in pain. Elesa "Now,tch on to it" Elesa was waiting for this moment, even though her Eelektrik was in pain, it moved and used its sucker-like mouth totch on to Drilbur''s head and then used its body to wrap and constrict Drilbur. Drilbur tried to struggle out of it but couldn''t, the opponent was too power, Julian knew he has toe up with another way for Drilbur to get out of that constriction, the opponent was too powerful for Drilbur to just burst out of its grip with brute strength, even though Drilbur is strong he is a little outmatched because he is still in his base form. Elesa "Now use Toxic" Eelektrik used Toxic and poisoned Drilbur, even though Drilbur is resistant to poison types he can still get poisoned, even though the effect of the poison won''t be big it will still cause some trouble for Drilbur, it may cause loss of energy or stamina which is very crucial in a battle. Julian "Use Rock Slide" Julian decided to go for a Rock Slide, even though Drilbur will alsoe under fire because he is trapped by Eelektrik, he is resistant to rock type attacks and Julian knows he can easily take a Rock Slide because his rivalry with Boldore has increased even further. Now that Roggenr had evolved into Boldore, he is clearly a lot stronger than Drilbur and whenever he gets the chance he will try to bully Drilbur but Drilbur never backed down and still fought against Boldore. Due to their constant fights, Drilbur has be more resistant to rock type attacks than other ground type pokemons. Drilbur used Rock Slide and massive rocks came crashing down on both Drilbur and Eelektrik, Elesa was stunned by this and didn''t get enough time to think of a counter, she thought she would tire Julian''s pokemon into submission through this method. She didn''t think Julian won''t even care about his pokemon''s own damage and use a suicidal move, the rocks came crashing down and burned both of them under it. Dust covered the whole battlefield due to the massive rocks crashing on the ground, as the dust cleared up the rocks started to twitch as Drilbur drilled out of them and stood on the ground. The rocks were then sent flying as Eelektrik used Thunderbolt to st them off it, Eelektrik floated above the battleground covered in dust and scratches, that Rock Slide was very strong and it was in bad shapepared to Drilbur. Julian "Hone ws" Drilbur powered up using Hone ws and increased his attack power and uracy, Julian wanted to end this in the next move. Julian "Is that all?" Julian asked while looking at Elesa, though he was satisfied with Elesa''s level he still decided to push her, he wanted to pressure her a little more so that she gets out of herfort zone and goes back to her old style. Elesa did feel the pressure, she studied a lot for this battle and knew she cannot use her own style against Julian as he has already seen it and if she was Julian she would already have a perfect counter, she knew she had toe up with something new and she did, she wanted to drag her battle because she had seen all of Jin''s battle were very short because his pokemons would just destroy their opponent before they could evennd a hit on them. But now things are not turning out as she liked, her n of dragging the battle failed when Julian showed that he won''t hesitate to use a move that might hurt his own pokemons a little. Chapter 702 - Elesa Vs Julian (2) Elesa felt the pressure and she didn''t know what to do, she could getfortable and got back to her old style in which she will be much morefortable and it would be easy for her to battle but she knows it will be a disaster if she does that. Elesa "Not yet, Eelektrik, use Giga Drain" ?? Elesa isn''t going to go down so easily and having the stronger and faster pokemon, she has some advantages over Julian''s Drilbur, her attacks are faster and hit harder. Elesa''s Eelektrik sted a green beam at Drilbur which he couldn''t dodge, before he could even retreat back into the ground he got caught by it and stopped him in his tracks. Soon the green beam started to sap his strength and Eelektrik started to heal itself, Elesa was surprised by this, she didn''t expect her move to actually his Drilbur, she had expected Drilbur to escape the attack easily but he didn''t. Elesa ''Is it injured more than I expected?'' She thought as Drilbur was too slow to dodge that attack. Elesa ''If this is true, maybe I can win this'' She thought and looked at Julian and saw no reaction in his eyes, they were just staring at the battlefield as if they didn''t care about the current circumstances. Elesa ''No, I have to focus, I shouldn''t ease down just because the opponent is weaker'' She thought and watched her Eelektrik sap the energy out of Drilbur, Drilbur seems to be struggling to get out of the Giga Drain, he was a little too weak for him to do so, he needs more power and his little body cannot deliver the power he needs. Elesa wondered what Julian is thinking, he is not taking any action against her attack, he didn''t seem to be bothered about it at all. Drilbur tried to struggle a lot harder than before, if this continues he will definitely faint but he won''t go down so easy, if he loses he will get made fun of by Boldore and it will be really embarrassing. As Drilbur was pushed to the edge he started to glow as the limit he was stuck to finally broke and he started to evolve, Julian was waiting for it, he knew the Giga Drain will put a lot of pressure on Drilbur and it will be the perfect stimtion. As Drilbur started to glow his size started to increase, his head grew bigger and a sharp pointy thing grew over his head, his ws also became much bigger and pointer, they also gained pointy des like structure on top of them. Soon the light faded away and Excadrill was finally revealed to everyone, he is massive nowpared to his previous size, his ws looked menacing and the metal horn on top of his head looked very dangerous. Now that Drilbur has finally evolved into Excadrill he is much powerful, his body is filled with immense physical power, this allowed him to shake off out of the Giga Drain easily. Elesa was shocked by this development, she realized that Julian had expected his Drilbur to evolve, he just used her pokemon''s attack to simte Drilbur''s evolution, she realized how good Julian was with using his opponent''s attack for his own advantage. Julian ''System, what moves did Excadrill learn?'' He asked the system as pokemons usually gain powerful moves after they evolve. System ''Excadrill has learned the move Horn Drill'' Julian ''Nice, a one-hit move but it can be dodged easily, I need to find a way tond it without them noticing'' Julian "Now, let''s finish this, use Sand Storm" Hearing Julian, Excadrill roared and created a massive Sand Storm that covered the whole battlefield and blocked everyone''s vision, Eelektrik tried to move around the but Sand Storm was too hard on it, small flying stones hit it continuously while Excadrill being a ground/steel he wasn''t affected by it. Julian "Now, use Horn Drill" With no visual Eelektrik cannot see from where Excadrill wille and hit it, its only option is to counter with a wide-area attack hoping it will hit Excadrill and stop him in his tracks but Eelektrik doesn''t know any moves that will do so, the one that it knows are electric types and they have no effect on Excadrill. Elesa "Eelektrik try to move around" Elesamanded but her Eelektrik couldn''t hear her because it was getting assaulted by a lot of small stones and its surround was covered with a loud noise, her voice didn''t go through it, Excadrill started to spin very fast after connecting the ws in his arms and the horn on top of his head and turned himself into a living drill and charged at Eelektrik. He locked on to Eelektrik andnded the finishing move. Since Horn Drill is a sure one hit move, Julian doesn''t have to worry about this battle continuing any further, even the toughest pokemon will go down after getting hit by it. Excadrill ended the Sand Storm and stood in the middle of the battlefield while his opponent was on the groundpletely out cold, just a few minutes ago this Eelektrik was the one who was a lot stronger than its opponent but after Drilbur evolved into Excadrill it turned into apletely opposite scenario. Excadrill became too powerful for Eelektrik, it didn''t stand a chance against Julian''s Excadrill. Chapter 703 - Elesa Vs Julian (3) The not so one-sided battle becamepletely one-sided after Drilbur evolved into Excadrill and won the battle easily. The referee soon announced the result after Elesa''s Eelektrik went down, she is shocked by the result of the battle, she thought that she might score a win against Julian but that win never came, his Drilbur evolved and defeated her Eelektrik easily. ?? She looked at Julian''s Excadrill and realized that her pokemons are clearly outmatched right now if she wants to battle Julian she needs to bring out the pokemons that are over-leveled for a fourth gym and she cannot do that because it is against the league''s rules. As she started to wonder what she is gonna do, she noticed Julian take out a Pokeball and send his Excadrill back to his Pokeball. Julian "I think you should choose your next pokemon, we don''t have all day to waste" Julian said. It was clear to him as well that once his Drilbur evolved into Excadrill it would be unfair of him to keep him on the battlefield as he would single-handedly sweep Elesa''s whole team, it is time to send out Darumaka and let him evolve as well. Elesa nodded her head and called her Eelektrik back to its Pokeball and sent out her next pokemon, she took out a Pokeball and tossed it up in the air and a tiny pokemon came out of it. It is Emolga, the flying/electric type pokemon, its typing is one of the most desirable typing for any trainer, the only drawback that this pokemon has is its low hp, many pokemons can one-shot it with a powerful Ice or Rock-type moves, the way it deals with them is its speed, they are very fast flyers and are capable of dodging most critical and fast attacks that are thrown at them. Julian looks at Emolga and thinks about ways he can tackle this issue, his Darumaka being a physical attacker won''t be able tond any hit unless Emolga is up close and his special attacks are mediocre at best and they don''t even have much range. In paper his Darumaka is clearly at a disadvantage but that won''t stop Julian, it is a test for him toe up with ways from which his Darumaka can benefit andnd that finishing blow, just one hit is needed for Darumaka to win, Julian has full confidence in Darumaka''s power to take down Elesa''s Emolga in one hit. Julian also tosses his Pokeball and sends out Darumaka onto the battlefield, as Darumaka entered the battlefield he looked around and saw a pokemon that is smaller than him floating in the air looking at him, this is the first time Darumaka encountered an opponent that is actually smaller than him in an official battle so he didn''t know how till will end up. All his previous opponents were the same size bigger or bigger than him so targeting them and hitting them was much easier but when ites to Emolga, it seems small and nimble and it can also fly which is really a serious disadvantage for Darumaka who has tiny legs and arms and the only way he can travel around the battlefield faster is by rolling around with the help of his round body. Since both pokemons are on the battlefield the referee didn''t waste any time and gave the signal to start the second round of the battle. Elesa went on the attack once again, having a clear advantage over the terrain, it would be foolish to just wait for the opponent to make a move. Elesa "Use Thunderbolt" Emolga sent out a zapping lightning bolt at Darumaka, even though this Thunderbolt doesn''t seem as strong as the one Eelektrik used it can still deal a lot of damage to Darumaka whose special defense is badpared to his physical defense. Julian "Move aside and use methrower" Darumaka rolled to the side and sted a methrower at Emolga, the Thunderbolt hit the ground and created a small crater on it, seeing the iing methrower Emolga moved to the side and avoided the methrower very easily, it clearly has the superior mobility in this battle and it is clearly visible but Julian is not bothered by it, he is already looking at his surrounding and the battlefield, he is looking at everything and see if anything could help him. He quickly found some ways from which he can bring Darumaka close to Emolga but it might be very risky, for now, he decided to y along, Emolga will not be able to disy its momentum and nimbleness though out the whole battle and will soon get tired, his Darumaka, on the other hand, has one of the best stamina among his pokemons and canst longer on the field. It might be a waiting game for Julian but he doesn''t mind it, he is not trying to rush and win a battle, he wants his pokemons to experience every kind of battle they can face and experience it in real life. Chapter 704 - Elesa Vs Julian (4) As Julian expected this battle between his Darumaka and Emolga started to drag out, both pokemons were attacking but none of them were able tond any significant hit, while Darumaka used methrowers and Incinerate to hit Emolga but all of them were wasted because Emolga was too fast and nimble to get hit by them. Emolga was also using a lot of Thunderbolts and Darumaka dodged them by rolling to the side, due to their constant exchange of moves that didn''tnd, most of it was hitting the battlefield and constantly changing it. ?? The whole battlefield is not filled with carters created by the Thunderbolt, soon Julian started to notice the changes taking ce on the battlefield and also his opponent. Elesa was too focused on staying away from Darumaka and it was a good tactic but by doing so she is not able tond any hits on Darumaka as well which caused this battle to stretch for so long, her Emolga has started to get tired from all those Thunderbolts, a pokemon can only use a significant amount of its moves, soon it will run out of energy and will faint from exhaustion. During a long battle, stamina ys a very crucial battle, that is why many trainers with powerful pokemon try to end their battle as soon as possible as they know dragging the battle for much longer will be their downfall. Elesa wanted to do the same, since she expected the Darumaka to be a powerhouse, just like Julian''s other pokemons, she thought he would get tried and then she will move on for the attack but it was theplete opposite result, her Emolga is the one who is getting more tried while the Darumaka is still full of energy and seems to be very pissed and is blowing embers out of his nostrils while staring at Emolga. Darumaka hated this waiting game, he wants things to go *boom-boom* but Emolga always trying to distance itself from him pissed of Darumaka even more. Elesa ''If this continues, Emolga will lose its stamina before the battle evenes to a conclusion, I need Emolga to move a little closer for its attack tond'' She thought and decided to change her way, she asked her Emolga to move a little closer to Darumaka and continue attacking with Thunderbolt. The closer Emolga is the faster its Thunderbolt will reach Darumaka and the better chance it has innding a hit, when Julian noticed that Elesa has decided to get a little closer he decided to move in for his counter as well, he was waiting for her to move closer. If he was desperately trying to get closer to her Emolga she would have suspected something, by keeping his distance, dodging their attacks and dragging out the battle, Julian made sure that Elsa doesn''t suspect much and ease in so Julian can take advantage of the changes in the battlefield. As Emolga closed in and shot a Thunderbolt at Darumaka, this time Julian didn''t tell him to dodge the attack, instead he decided to take it head-on. Julian "Use me Wheel" This time Darumaka didn''t dodge and started to roll while covering his body with bursting mes, he used me Wheel and charged straight at the direction of Emolga, the Thunderbolt came zapping through the air and hit Darumaka while he is performing the me Wheel. An explosion urred but it didn''t stop Darumaka, the rolling ball of me shot out of the smoke and charged straight into a crater that was created by a Thunderbolt, Darumaka got into the crater and used it as a trampoline andunched himself towards Emolga with intense speed. Emolga was caught off guard and couldn''t dodge this fast-rolling ball of me and got hit, luckily for it, that Thunderbolt had reduced the power behind the me Wheel but Emolga still took some damage. It got sent shooting from the air and into the ground, crashing hard, Darumakanded on the ground and stopped for a second before Julian gave of anothermand. Since he got the chance he is not going to hold back because Elesa is not an idiot, she has already seen what Darumaka just did and she will not repeat the same mistake of getting closer again. Julian "Use Fire Punch" Darumaka charged at the fallen Emolga, Emolga tried to get up and escape into the air but it was toote, as soon as it got on its feet, a ming fist punched its face and sent it rolling on the ground following a big explosion. As the dust cleared up Emolga could be seen on the ground knocked out cold by that punch, that battle just ended like that as Elesa made a little mistake of getting too close to Darumaka. Elesa is shocked by this, she didn''t expect that just a little change in her strategy led to such a big loss, she looked at Julian and felt like he has already seen through her, the way he sees a battlefield ispletely different from anyone she has ever faced before, she has faced the best in a battle, whether it is the members of the Elite Four or the current champion of Unova but nobody made her feel so helpless before during a battle. She saw how Julian used the craters that her Emolga created tounch Darumaka into Emolga, this level of observation is hard to achieve without experience, she wondered where Julian got all these experience from, from the looks of it he looks just like any other young man she has seen or met but none of them were so intimidating during a battle. This showed her how dangerous Julian can really be and she is really grateful that he is s good person. Chapter 705 - Elesa Vs Julian (5) Elesa''s second pokemon is down while Julian has still not lost even one of his, and on top of that, they don''t even have a scratch on them, that previous Thunderbolt from her Emolga seems to have had no effect on Darumaka. Elesa knew she is fighting a losing battle but she still needs to continue till the end for her self and her pokemon, a gym leader giving up before the battle even ends is looked down on by everyone. ?? She took out herst Pokeball and tossed it up in the air revealing her final pokemon, a ck and blue feline, standing 1.4 meters tall, a Luxray. Julian looked at this Luxray and realized it is a powerhouse, even though it still has not reached a level where it could battle against the top-level pokemons of the veterans but it still could hold its own. From just the looks of it, Julian could tell that Darumaka and Luxray are on the same level but Luxray being in its final form has more power, more speed, and is more nimble and has better reach. This will be the first time Darumaka faces an opponent which is stronger than him in every field, whether it is Physical attack or Special attack, Luxray is an opponent that will be very hard for Darumaka to defeat but Julian is up for the challenge. He wants to push his Darumaka to the limit and make him evolve so he can finally show off what he is truly made off. The referee gave the signal to start the battle as both sides were ready with their pokemon, Elesa brought out her strongest pokemon at this level so she can go all out and maybe score at least one win over Julian, she knows it is hard but she will try no matter how hard it is, she is not underestimating Darumaka as well. Even though he looks tinypared to her massive Luxray, she has seen what he can do and won''t be reckless while taking him head-on. This time Julian was the one who started it off and went for the attack. Since her Luxray is clearly a physical attacker he didn''t want to waste any time and go on the defense, he knows both pokemon will be exchanging blows after blows. Julian "Use Belly Drum, then use Rollout" Julian wanted to increase his Darumaka''s power to the max so that he won''t be pushed around by his opponent, Belly Drum will reduce his health to half but his power will rise to the max. Darumaka started to beat down on his little belly causing the surround around him to vibrate from the sound produced by his belly, suddenly his health dropped but there was a massive increase in power, and his opponent Luxray could clearly feel it as it backed down a little from the pressure. Darumaka''s aura became fierce and dominant due to the sudden increase in power, Darumaka felt great, with all this new power he will be able to create even bigger explosions that go *boom-boom*. As soon as Belly Drum activated and his power increased, Darumaka started to roll towards Luxray using Rollout, rock energy covered his body and his speed increased as he bolted towards Luxray. Elesa "Counter with Night sh" Her Luxray roared and started to collect dark energy in its right front ws, as Darumaka got closer it swiped at him as hard as it could to do as much damage as possible. As both attacks shed with each other the shockwave from it blew away all the dust and rubbles around the battlefield. After the sh both of them backed down, Darumaka shot backward while still spinning, Luxray backed down while its ws still exposed covered with dark energy, it was clear that the winner of that exchange was Luxray but only by a little margin, it didn''t put Luxray in an advantageous position at all, instead, it gave Darumaka more distance to charge at it once again. Darumaka didn''t stop and used Rollout again and charged at Luxray once again and this time the Rollout was twice as powerful than the previous one. Elesa saw this and decided to go even big and called out a move. Elesa "Use Electric Terrain and then use Thunder Fang" Luxray roared and released a powerful electric shockwave that covered the whole battlefield and covered it with electricity, then it opened its mouth as exposed its long fangs which started to sparkle with electricity, suddenly they burst into lightning and it became bigger, longer and sharper, it was not the fangs itself but the electricity. Due to the electric terrain the Thunder Fang''s power increased a lot, as Darumaka got close to Luxray it bit down with full power, once again both attacked collided and created a massive explosion bigger than before. The referee quickly had to take cover being a protective barrier and protect himself from the impact, even Glen who was sitting in the audience area had to drop down his seat and protect himself from the flying rubbles. Both pokemons backed off once again, again the same thing happened, Darumaka got sent backward but he is still rolling while Luxray backed down only a little while its fangs were still sparkling, Luxray won that exchange again but it didn''t matter. Darumaka came charging at it once again using Rollout and this time even more powerful than the previous one. Elesa frowned seeing this, no matter how many times her Luxray tries it seems as if it couldn''t cancel Darumaka''s Rolloutpletely, she knew she had to go even bigger. Elesa "Luxray, go all out use Wild Charge" Luxray roared and covered its body with blinding lightning that crackled like crazy, the power it released was very destructive and with the electric terrain in effect, its power was even more destructive. Both pokemons charged at each other once again with full power and shed, and just like before, a massive explosion took ce, this time even bigger, the referee was safe behind his protective barrier but same couldn''t be said for Glen, he had to call out his pokemon and make it use Protect to protect himself from the impact of these two moves. Both pokemons were once again sent back flying, this time it was a clear draw, Luxray was sent rolling on the ground but the same could be said for Darumaka as well, he was hurt and his Rollout was finally canceled. Both pokemons got back to their feet, it is clear that Darumaka is the one who took more damage in that exchange, and on top of that he was already in half health due to his Belly Drum but for some reason, he looked very excited. Because this was the biggest explosion he had ever created until now and he is very excited to make an even bigger one. Chapter 706 - Zen Mode Darumaka was clearly excited about this battle, he didn''t even notice the damage his body took after that exchange, hepletely ignored it and wanted to continue the battle. Julian observed the current situation and knew that things might get a little tricky from here on, his Darumaka is not in full health so a straight forward attack is very risky but it is the only way Darumaka cane take down his opponent. ?? Julian also wondered when Darumaka will evolve so the tides of the battle can turn into his favor, till now the Belly Drum has shown its effectiveness but this cannot continue for longer as Darumaka''s health still needs to be considered. He looked at his Darumaka and noticed how ignorant he is when ites to his own condition, he just wants to continue and make explosions, Julian smiled and decided to go with what Darumaka wants, he could tell that Darumaka is very close to evolving, maybe thisst push is just what he needs. Julian "Darumaka, let''s go, use Focus Punch" With Julian''s call, Darumaka started to collect all his energy into his fist and got ready to hit the Focus Punch. Elesa also decided to charge her Luxray up for the big battle. Elesa "Use Wild Charge" Luxray once again used Wild Charge and charged at Darumaka with full power, it didn''t hold back even one bit, Darumaka continued collecting all the energy he could in his hand for the punch. As Luxray got close, Darumaka went for the punch as well, another head-on collision of two attacks caused the whole battlefield to quake, the cracks appeared on it which spread across the battlefield and then it shattered like ss. Both pokemons were once again sent backward, both were hurt by this exchange, while Luxray looked ok and fine to continue battling it was not, that Focus Punch was too much for it to handle, same could be said for Darumaka. He should not be able to take another Wild Charge like that again but he is too excited about this battle andpletely ignored the damage to his body, the side effect of the Wild Charge hit Luxray but it still kept its stance and didn''t go down. It can still continue battling. Darumaka jumped around after seeing the damage he caused on the battlefield, it made his very happy, he looked at Julian and smiled widely while doing a victory sign with his finger, he learned it from Victini who would always do so when it won. Julian smiled and sighed, he couldn''t do anything about his Darumaka, that is when he suddenly noticed, Darumaka started glowing. Elesa also saw this and was shocked. Elesa "Another Evolution?" She asked surprised. Soon the little Darumaka started to change as his size started to grow, his tiny hands started to grow out of his body and be very massive along with his body as well, his round body didn''t change much at all, it just became bigger but now it has massive firey eyebrows. The light faded away and Darmanitan was in front of everyone. Julian was excited to see his Darumaka finally evolve into this beast that is in front of him but suddenly something else happened, Darmanitan started to glow as well, Julian was surprised by this at first then he realized what was really going on, his Darmanitan has the ability Zen mode. Once Darmanitan''s health drops down more than 50% they go into Zen Mode, in which their body turns into stone, the effect of this change is drastic as well, Darmanitan''s defense and special defense will spike up very high, but the biggest changes wille to its attack and special attack stats. The power of their physical attack drops drastically which was previously very high and Darmanitan turns into a powerful special attacker with ridiculous Special Attack stats, it also gains Psychic typing, the only drawback of this form is that its speed decreases. Julian''s Darumaka stopped glowing and revealed his Zen Mode, a rock with a face floating in the air, Julian smiled after seeing this, now that the tables have turned, he doesn''t need to hold back anymore. Julian "Let''s end this, Darumaka, use methrower" The stone statute that is Darumaka started to move as a ball of me started to form right between its sharp jagged jaw, then a massive powerful beam of me shot at Luxray, sting through the air, the move was so fast that Luxray had no chance to dodge it. Elesa "Use Thunderbolt to counter" Since Luxray cannot dodge, it can only counter it with an attack, Luxray shot the Thunderbolt at the massive methrower, but as soon as the two moves shed the methrowerpletely devoured the Thunderbolt and continued towards Luxray and engulfed it as well. Then came a massive explosion that blew up the already blown battlefield into little fine dust and most of it waspletely burnt. As the dust disappeared, Elesa''s Luxray could be seen on the battlefield, fainted and smoke rising off its fur, the battle has ended just like that. Chapter 707 - Glens Desire Darmanitan in his Zen Mode is really powerful and with the ability to shift his stats like this during a battle can be very advantageous to Julian. Darmanitan in his base form is already a physical powerhouse and in his zen mode he is a ridiculous special attacker with very good defense and special defense, now there are only a few things that can hold him back. ?? Seeing that Elesa''s Luxray was out, the referee called off the battle in Julian''s favor and the battle ended, Elesa sighed, she tried her best but she wasn''t able to defeat Julian at all, her Luxray has never been defeated at this level and this is its first loss. She will have to be there for it because a first loss can be very brutal to both pokemons and trainers. Glen who was watching the battle was also shocked by the scene, he couldn''t believe the power behind Darmanitan, he didn''t think his Sirfetch''d to take that at all. He also wondered how long can hest against Julian, even though he single-handedly took out Elesa''s whole team with just his Sirfetch''d, it was because his Sirfetch''d is because of their nature, these species of pokemon are known to battle till they get exhausted, even after getting badly injured they still continue to battle, while other pokemons might faint with so much stress on their body, a Sirfetch''d will want to and will continue to battle till the end. But when ites to Julian''s Darmanitan, its different, there is still a limit to how much his Sirfetch''d can handle, the power that Darmanitan disyed was way strongerpared to the pokemon at his level. A pokemon that just evolved shouldn''t be able to disy that much power but he did it anyway. Glen frowned. When he watched Julian''s battle on tv and his phone, he could tell that he was very strong but he also thought that his pokemons were also over-leveled whenpared to his opponents, that is why he thought he could take down Julian with his own over-leveled pokemons. But now things looked a little different to Glen, a Darmanitan that just evolved showed powers that a normal one couldn''t no matter how hard it tried, this difference was huge and Glen could clearly see it, he knew he had to up his game if he really wants to take on Julian. He realized that they didn''t call Julian the strongest of the current generation, even though there is some debate about this topic, the people who have seen Julian battle right in front of their eyes have no objection about Julian being the strongest. Back to Elesa, she sighed as she saw her Luxrayying down on thepletely destroyed battlefield, even though there was a lot of support put behind the battlefield to prevent it from getting destroyed, it at the end of the day was in a worse state than she predicted, well it didn''t bother Elesa because all the cost will be handled by the league itself. She then took out the Bolt Badge and walked towards Julian and handed it over to him, being so close to her idol, Elesa felt a little pressured and embarrassed, even though their battle just ended a minute ago, it was apletely different thing, for Elesa that didn''t matter at all, her job of a gym leader was over and now she is just a fan. Julian saw Elesa''s cheeks getting red, he could tell that she is blushing and is struggling to talk to him, he decided to take it easy on her and took off the badge from her hand and thanked her. Julian "You are a really good trainer, I hope you will be the part of Unova''s elite someday" She said. Elesa had impressed him a lot, her Luxray was very strong, if not for his Darumaka evolving into Darmanitan, his Darumaka would have gone down before Luxray. Elesa was escted after hearing Julian praise her. Elesa "Thankyou, I will try my best" She said while shuddering. Julian just smiled and decided to walk away and leave her alone, as he turned around he heard Elesa voice which stopped him in his track, he turned around and looked at her as she was holding a small diary in her hand with a pen. Elesa "Can I have an autograph?" She asked embarrassed as her face was red from it. Julian smiled and signed it for her and left. Glen who was watching this all was confused, he didn''t understand why Elesa was acting like this, she was so much bolder and straight forward while talking to him but very different when talking to Julian in person. Glen "Women are mysterious" He said and decided to chase after Julian. As Julian walked out of the gym and was thinking of his next destination, he heard a familiar voice from behind, he turned around and noticed the massive young man, Glen, running towards him, Julian wanted to escape as he didn''t want to battle Glen now, knowing the type of person these muscle heads can be, they really don''t care about what other people are thinking. Julian "What is it, Glen isn''t it?" Julian asked. Glen "Ha, you remember my name, good, I just want to tell you that I will be the one who is going to defeat you in the finals of the Unova League" Julian "Aren''t you filled with confidence, do you really think you can defeat me after watching me battle?" Julian said with a smile behind his mask, Glen''s character was very close to Ash, just a little bit more brutish. Glen "I will admit, I cannot defeat you now, but in the Unova League, watch out for me as I will destroy everyone that stands in my way and then finally take you down" Julian "I see, I will be waiting then, but let me give you a small reminder, I have seen many trainers who are as good as you and one of them is being personally trained by me, so I would not be so confident if I were you" He said and decided to leave, Glen just watched and recalled what Julian just said, not about other trainers, but the one who is being personally trained by Julian. Glen "What a man, since he couldn''t find anyone that could defeat him, he is training someone to find a challenge, hahaha, great, I want to see who this trainer is and how good he really is" Glenughed as he wanted to face off against the trainer who is being trained by Julian. Chapter 708 - Heading East Julian returned to his hotel room after the battle, since his goal has been achieved in Nimbasa city, he is ready to head out of the city and go to his next destination, he still doesn''t know where to go yet, Yesh also seems to be a little busy and hasn''t still done his gym challenge. After he is done with his gym challenge Julian will leave the city, till then he decided to n his route, goals, and objective for the next few months. Since he has time he decided to do so. ?? Currently, he is in Nimbasa city that is the center of the Unova Region, from here he can either go to the west side of the region or the east side of the region, the west side of the region is dedicated to all the massive cities of Unova and that is where he can find most of the gyms andplete his badge collection. Or he could go to the east side and do some exploring and the east is home to some of the most ancient towns and civilizations in Unova. There is still a lot of time before the league even starts and Julian can easily take his own time and explore the region and catch some pokemons and focus on evolving some of his pokemons that are still being held back due to theplicated ways of their evolution process. After thinking about it for some time, Julian decided to go east and explore the region rather than taking on the gyms, right now his main focus is to catch some pokemons and train them to the level of Darmanitan and Excadrill as they have clearly be overpowered after their evolution, while the rest of his team is stillcking behind because Boldore''s species is a three-stage evolving pokemons, Karrast needs to be along with a Shelmet to evolve and his Volcarona''s egg still hasn''t hatched. He could tell that it is very close to hatching and he is excited about it, the dragon stone that is also called the light stone has been very helpful and is speeding up the process, Julian didn''t interfere with the egg''s growth with his Omniforce this time because he knew he couldn''t do that or he would kill the fetus inside the egg. It worked on Crystal but it mutated Crystal into a special pokemon, the only reason Crystal survived is that it is a legendary pokemon and was already exposed to Omniforce. When ites to Volcarona''s egg, it is a normal one with nothing special about it, being exposed to Omniforce in such a fragile state could clearly harm it and Julian won''t do anything so stupid and put a life at risk. Since he had nothing to do he decided to look into the towns and cities he will be visiting, the east side of Unova is a very rural area, there are not many cities as they are popted with small towns which have been in Unova before thest king that lived thousand years ago. Julian thought that maybe he would be able to find something rted to the legendaries here in Unova, after hours of research Julian found many things that grabbed his interest, not one, not two but twelve. Unova has legends about 12 special pokemons, six of them are Mythical pokemons and the other six are legendary pokemons, in the Mythical category are Victini, Meloetta, and a group of mythical pokemons called the Swords of Justice which consisted of Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo. While the Mythical group was still a myth and people of Unova have never seen them and only heard of them, the legendaries, on the other hand, are real, even though there has never been any visual proof of their existence, several historical events and happenings are easily rted to them and their existence have been documented by ancient historians. The first group of the legendaries is called the Forces Of Nature which consists of Thundurus, Landorus, and Tornadus. And then there are the main legendaries of the Unova region, who are Reshiram, Zekrom, and the mysterious Kyurem. When he looked more into these pokemon he noticed that some people on the inte imed to have seen one of these pokemons, well no one believed them and on top of that, they were bullied by the people and asked for proof. While anything on the inte couldn''t be trusted, Julian noticed something, all these sightings were actually happening in the east side of Unova, even though this doesn''t prove anything, Julian still thought that this could lead to something and maybe he could encounter one of them at least. And even if he doesn''t the ancient towns will still provide him with lot of information about them. Now that everything is decided Julian needs to figure out what Yesh wants. If he wants to continue with his gym battles, Julian and Yesh will have to part ways here and meet up after some time. If he wants to join Julian on his little exploring expedition, Julian has no problem either, an extra hand is always helpful during a journey. He waited for Yesh to return so he can ask him what he wants to do. If Yesh wants to continue with gym battle, Julian will leave Nimbasa city, if not he will have to stay and wait for Yesh to finish his gym battle here in Nimbasa city. The sun was about to set and Yesh returned back to the hotel, when Yesh arrived near his door he noticed Julian waiting for him. Julian "We need to talk, let''s go inside" Julian walked into Yesh''s room while Yesh followed him. Yesh "What is it?" He asked. Julian "Well I n to head east for some exploring and there will be no gym there so I want to ask you, will youe with me or head west and continue with your gym battle?" Hearing Julian''s question, Yesh sat down on the bed and gave it some thought beforeing to a decision. Yesh "I will head west, I want to see how much I can grow without you being around, during these few months my progression has been very fast, I want to see how much I can grow on my own and test my limits" Hearing this Julian was not surprised, he has been observing Yesh for quite a long time now and he has noticed that Yesh cares about nothing except growing stronger as a trainer and improve his ways, the speed of progression that Yesh has disyed is very scary. So hearing that he would rather continue with gym battle and see how much he can grow on his own didn''t surprise Julian, he just nodded his head and said his goodbye to Yesh. Julian "I will be leaving tomorrow then" He said and left Yesh''s room and walked into his and started to prepare for tomorrow as he decided to leave early. Chapter 709 - Changes In The Team Since Yesh ns to go to the west side of Unova region and continue with his gym battles, Julian doesn''t need to care about him for now, Yesh has already learned a lot from Julian and now it is up to him on how he will implement them into his technique and change it to his own style to adapt with his pokemons even better than before. Julian has already prepared all the stuff he needs before he leaves Nimbasa city, the day soon came to an end and Julian headed to bed very early with Crystal sleeping next to him. ?? Julian woke up very early, the next day, performed all the usual morning rituals and decided to leave, he would miss Nimbasa city as it was quite something, he met with weird people such as Glen and the leader/king of Team sma. Julian still couldn''t understand how can such a person be a leader of such an organization, he had asked the current head of the league here in Unova to investigate about the Seven Sages and to his surprise not many things could be found about them. Some of the members of this group arepletely unknown to the world, the head of the league promised that he would look further into this matter but he would still need some time as it takes a lot of money and time to find these kinds of people and what they do. Once Julian was done with all the things he left his hotel after checking out, he didn''t bother informing Yesh and just left a message on his phone, he then left Nimbasa city and headed towards the east side of Unova. His next destination is a very weird ce called the ck City/White Forest, when Julian first looked into this he was really confused. When he looked into a map, both ces were being pointed at the same marking, as he looked deeper into this he realized that thend is divided into two parts. One is called the ck city and the other half is called the while forest, he didn''t understand why was this piece ofnd divided like this but Julian was interested in this ce because of their names, in Unova, the colors ck and White are very important, when used together they create bnce, this is the way of how the people of Unova thinks and even their main legendaries are the embodiment of ck and white. Julian wondered why these ces are called what they are, he wondered how the legendaries are rted to this ce, he searched the inte a lot to find anything interesting but he couldn''t find anything. The only way he can find anything now is to visit the ce himself and check it out, putting the little Crystal inside his front pocket of a new blue jacket, ck sses, and a ck scarf over his face, Julian sat on his bike and rode it out of Nimbasa city. Since he is all alone now he has to do more words, he was used to Yesh being around and helping him take care of his pokemons and doing small chores around the camp, like looking after the fire and cleaning up tes after lunch and dinner during camping outside. Now he is back to working hard again, well he still has Gengar and Infernape who help out a lot, without them, Julian can''t think of taking care of all his pokemons, the only pokemon that ispletely useless in Julian''s team is his Snox, he sleeps all day and only wakes up when he is hungry. Well, Julian couldn''t do anything about him, he couldn''t leave Snox behind with his other pokemons in the private ind because he would eat up everything there and cause it to go barren, his other pokemons who live there are getting used to the wildlife where they are not under Julian''s watch, they have to find their own food and look after themselves. Since the private ind is very massive and is abundant with the food they are good to go, the ind has lots of trees and bushes with lots of berries which will keep them full till some of Julian''s employees go there to give them some high protein food. If Julian had left Snox on that ind, his other pokemons would starve, so the only option for Julian is to take Snox everywhere with him and feed him till he is full so that he can go back to sleep. After riding for quite a long time Julian decided to find a ce to camp down for the night, after setting up a camp he released his pokemons so they can y around, he was in no mood to train them today so he let them y around for the day. He observed his pokemons and noticed something has changed within them, Darmanitan is now clearly the strongest among his Unova team while Karrast has be the weakest because of him being held behind by the way his evolution works. The role between Boldore and Excadrill has also changed, now Excadrill is the powerful one between them and Boldore seemed very pissed due to the constant provocation by Excadrill. Before when Excadrill was just a Drilbur, Boldore was the one who was the one to always provoke him but now it''s Excadrill''s chance to do so. Karrast didn''t suffer much due to the sudden change in the status between Julian''s team, being Darmanitan''s best friend he had a little protection from all the pranks from other pokemons. Julian looked and though about this current situation and he realized that his Unova team is very unique this time, he has four pokemons and one egg right now, two of them are already in their final form, one of them is in his second form and thest one is still in his base form. And then there is the Volcarona''s egg that is very close to hatching, his team in previous regions were very well bnced, most of them never became more powerful than the other and even if they did, they were not that far ahead from their friends. Even though Julian trained all him Unova pokemons the same way and gave them the same amount of time, they still ended up in this state, where some of them have be overpowered while others are stillcking behind even though they are on the same level. Chapter 710 - Julian In Danger With the changes in the current team, things sometimes started to get out of hand, especially between Excadrill and Boldore, things are getting heated between them, they started to get into serious fights even more now. Before Boldore being the stronger one would always try to tease and provoke Drilbur but Boldore never did anything out of spite, he just liked to y around with Drilbur, he was just like a school bully to Drilbur. ?? And things were slowing down, Boldore stopped messing with Drilbur as he got bored with it and he was more focused on training with Darumaka at that time, when Julian saw this he was relieved that he didn''t have to take anything seriously and step in to take care of these two. Just when Julian thought that things are going to be ok between these two and they will develop and friendly rivalry, Drilbur evolved into Excadrill, now things suddenly changed, the quite Drilbur who is now an Excadrill started to pick fight against Boldore. Being the bigger, stronger and faster one, he started to bully Boldore, it was as if things havepletely changed, the Drilbur who was used to the constant bullying of Boldore suddenly became the bully in the rtionship and started to cause trouble for Boldore. Today both of them even got into a serious fight as Excadrill didn''t stop bullying Boldore and didn''t leave him alone, this fight got so serious and Infernape had to step in and immobilized then by knocking them out. Julian sighed as he saw this, he didn''t expect things to be so serious once the power bnce in his team changed. When he first captured Drilbur and Roggenr from that cave, he already knew they hated each other from the way they looked at each other, Roggenr being the stronger and tougher one always bullied the Drilbur brothers and now things have changed, Roggenr who is now a Boldore is being bullied by the one who he used to bully before. Julian "I think I know what to do with them" Julian said and looked at Gengar and told him what to do. When Gengar heard Julian''s idea he grinned happily and approached the knocked out Excadrill and Boldore and took them into his Dimension for something that both Excadrill and Boldore have no idea about. Julian knew that the only way to make Excadrill and Boldore stop fighting with each other is by putting them in a very scary situation where they will have to depend and rely on each other, Gengar being the master of Dimensions knew exactly what to do with them. ______________________ Boldore and Excadrill woke up as they experienced a stinging sensation in their head, they looked around and suddenly found themselves all alone in the woods under the light of a fool moon. Both of them got worried as they couldn''t see their friends or Julian around and the night looked very scary, they felt as if something was watching them from the darkness, ready to pounce and attack them. Excadrill [Where are the others?] Excadrill asked himself while looking at Boldore. Boldore [How would I know, you idiot] Excadrill [What did you call me, do you want to get beaten up again?] Boldore [Haha, you can''t even put a scratch on me] Excadrill [How about I put one on your right now and prove you wrong] Excadrill said and showed his sharp metal ws to Boldore, Boldore didn''t back down and stepped forward, ready to fight back, just because Excadrill is bigger, stronger and faster doesn''t mean Boldore will back down, he is trained by Julian and knows how to handle himself in a tough situation. Both of them were getting ready to fight when they suddenly felt something very dangerous looking at them, they suddenly stopped and turned towards the direction of the gaze that they sensed from. As they turned around they saw a massive dark figure which was more than 10 meters tall and this dark figure had crimson red eyes with dark veiny iris in the middle, this being that they are looking at is the scariest thing they have ever seen, they slowly backed off as they felt their lives in danger from this existence. ???? [Look at you little idiots, fighting amongst yourself while your master is slowly dying, hahahahahah] Excadrill [What do you mean?] Excadrill asked confused as he remembered about Julian and others missing, the same was Boldore''s reaction. Boldore [What did you do to master?] He asked angrily, there are only a few things in their life that mattered to them very much and Julian is of the highest priority, with him taking care of them and loving them no matter how many time they messed up, Julian never punished them and even if he punished them, it was not serious. They knew Julian loved them and for that, they loved him back, now that this being is saying that Julian is dying, they are really angry and pissed. ???? [Hahaha, you both are a disappointment, while you were fighting with each other for your own selfish reason and knocked yourself out, your master fought so hard but lost, hahaha, I captured him and his other pokemons, they will serve as nutrition for me to grow stronger, you both are not needed. Now run away and don''t cause trouble around here, I am going to enjoy my feast today, hahahahaha] The dark figure said and disappeared into nothingness, hearing this both Boldore and Excadrill were in shock, they couldn''t believe this just happened, if they were awake, they could have helped Julian escape but they were too busy fighting each other. Boldore [We need to save master] Boldore said. Excadrill [How do we do that, even master and our seniors couldn''t defeat this one, how are we going to do anything?] Boldore [I knew you were a coward from the very beginning, that is why I don''t like you, I don''t care, even if I die I am going to save master] Excadrill [When did I say I am not going to help, let''s go save master] Both of them finally agreed on something and looked at the dark forest in front of them, this is the ce where the dark existence disappeared into and they now decided to risk their lives to find Julian and save him. Chapter 711 - Dark Forest, Black Pokemons Since Boldore and Excadrill finally agreed on something, they decided to enter the forest and try to find Julian before he is in danger, from what the dark existence said, he is still not dead and they still have and chance to find Julian and maybe help him escape. Both Excadrill and Boldore entered the dark forest, they could see very little as the thick leaves from the tall trees were blocking the moonlight from reaching below. ?? Excadrill and Boldore were really cautious as they headed deeper into the forest, the deeper they when the eerier it got. But both of them still had trouble trusting each other. When they walked both of them wanted to be the one up front and didn''t want to expose their back to the other, they didn''t trust each other and they don''t seem to trust each other in the near future as well. They continued further and things started to heat up between them, both of them were getting annoyed by each other as they tried to be the one in front, both of them suddenly stopped and started to quarrel again when suddenly something happened. A ck shadowunched at them trying to hurt them. Both Excadrill and Boldore noticed this and dodged from their ce and looked at the ck shadow, it was a pokemon but this pokemon looked very different, it is a Zigzagoon but this one looks very different. Its body ispletely ck and its eyes are way sharper with its pupils glowing red, this pokemon looked evil and dangerous. The Zigzagoon suddenly moved in a Zigzag pattern as if it is targeting both Excadrill and Boldore but both of them couldn''t guess who the Zigzagoon is going to attack, the Zigzagoon suddenly made a move and lunged at Excadrill but as it was about to hit Excadrill it changed direction and lunged at Boldore which caught him off guard and the Zigzagoonnded a power Bite on Boldore. Boldore was sent crashing against the tree as the power this Zigzagoon disyed was too much for Boldore, it then changed its target to Excadrill and charged at him, Excadrill decided to counter by using Metal w, as both pokemon shed it created a shock wave. Both seemed equally matched in strength but the Zigzagoon for some reason got more power behind its attack and started to push Excadrill back, Excadrill was shocked by this and tried his best to keep up but the Zigzagoon kept on overpowering him. Just when Excadrill was about to be forced to the ground into submission, numerous streaks of light shot from the back and hit Zigzagoon, the Zigzagoon suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared. Excadrill got back to his feet and looked at Boldore, the one responsible for saving him, Boldore used Power Gem, with its continuous barrage he was able to destroy the Zigzagoon. Excadrill didn''t say anything and continued to move forward, Boldore also didn''t say anything and followed Excadrill, they both knew that they cannot waste their time fighting each other or they will get attacked, they need to look after each other if they want to get deeper into the forest but none of them want to be the first one to propose the idea. And so they continued down the path while still keeping an eye for anything that was fishy, soon they started to loosen up because nothing attacked them and the road just became very silent and boring, the same old trees came one after other, they felt like they were walking in circles. When they started to get tired they got attacked again, this time it was a ck Scyther with the same ck eyes with red aggressive pupils. The Scyther attacked and this one was very fastpared to the Zigzagoon from before and its attacks was very fast and swift, the Scyther attacked Boldore as it felt that he was the perfect target for it. And it was true, Boldore was caught off-guard again as the Scyther moved towards him, it was just like a blur and itnded a powerful hit on Boldore, Boldore was sent flying again, Excadrill decided to attack as soon as the Scyther showed its back to him, even before the Scythernded the hit on Boldore, Excadrill had already made a move. He used Horn Drill from the get-go to finish it with one move, the Scyther turned around to counter as it expected an attack from Excadrill but it didn''t expect Excadrill to use Horn Drill, no matter how it attacks it will get destroyed and the exact thing happened. The ck Scyther got turned into smoke just like the Zigzagoon, Boldore got up from the rubbles, a little hurt from the previous attack, he didn''t expect that attack to be so fast, the only reason he is not hurt is that his defense is very high. He looked at Excadrill and both knew they have to stop being so distant andmunicate with each other if they don''t want another attack like this to happen again. Chapter 712 - Growing Together Since both of them came to an understanding and knew they have to work together or they will keep getting attacked by these weird ck pokemons. They finally talked and decided to let Excadrill take the front and Boldore take the back, while Excadrill is more powerful, he should be able to take down most pokemons that attacked them, while Boldore act as an assistant with his Power Gem attacks. ?? Even though its not his most powerful attack it is still his most dangerous one, with the ability to continue shooting those light beams of rock energy, the effects are like of a mini-gun. With their new agreement, they started to move again, after some time they got attacked again, this time it was a ck Seviper but this time they were a lot more sessful in defending themselves, Excadrill blocked its attack and Boldore finished it with Power Gem. They kept on walking down the one path that was in front of them, the dark forest was getting even creepier and more powerful ck pokemons started to appear in front of them, soon it got hard for them to battle these pokemon, it was as if these pokemons knew what they are going to do and soon counter them. It was getting harder and harder, both Excadrill and Boldore are now in very bad shape, they just defeated a ck Rhydon, it had critical hits on both Excadrill and Boldore, but the still struck through and destroyed the ck Rhydon. Little did they know that both have already started to trust each other without them even realizing about it, they were constantly keeping an eye out for each other trying to save them whenever the other is in danger. They walked for very long, they felt as if days have passed and they still haven''t reached their destination, but they didn''t give up, they wanted to save Julian from the evil existence. They didn''t fight against each other now, they started tomunicate and though of ways to ward of the dangers they keep facing, after someone they finally found something that put a smile on their faces. The end of the long road was right in front of them but they could feel it, the dark existence presence at the end of the road, they were scared but they still want to go in because they want to save Julian. Boldore and Excadrill looked at each other and nodded their head and started to walk towards the end of the road. When the arrived at the end they saw it, the massive dark figure that is just standing there staring at a massive cage. Excadrill and Boldore looked at each other and then at the massive cage, they saw Julian and his other pokemons tied up inside, they looked unconscious, Excadrill and Boldore were very concerned seeing Julian in such a state, he looked pale and skinny, it was as if his energy was sapped away. The aura that Julian has around him was not present at all, his pokemons were also in the same situation, they all look skinny and pale, Boldore got angry and used Power Gem and shot it at the dark existence, but it was as if the attack hit nothing for air. The existence turned around and looked at Excadrill and Boldore with its fierce red eyes, it looked at both of them and started tough. ???? [Hahahaha, I didn''t expect you both toe here, you are both stupid and weak but you might still act as nourishment for me I guess, hahahahah] The dark existence started tough and ck tentacles came out of its body and headed towards both Excadrill and Boldore, seeing the tentacles approaching them, they both attacked to counter them, Excadrill used Horn Drill and Boldore used Power Gem, the Horn Drill destroyed the tentacle and the Power Gems put several holes in it and destroyed it. But the existence didn''t stop and shot several tentacles at them, both Excadrill and Boldore continued towards counter the tentacles but it was useless, they seem to be endless and both of them were getting tired. Boldore [Try to hold it off and I will try to destroy that cage] Boldore said and destroyed the tentacles that were shot at him, Excadrill noded and used Rock Slide to counter the tentacles, Boldore got his opening and used Power Gem and hit the cage which was holding Julian and others, the cage broke as Julian and his pokemon fell on the ground. Boldore got a little excited as his attempt was sessful but a tentacle suddenly appeared out of nowhere and tried to grab him, Boldore was stunned at the tentacle was too fast but Excadrill suddenly stepped up and blocked the tentacle with his bare ws. The tentacle then wrapped around Excadrill and lifted him up in the air, Boldore panicked as he saw this, he didn''t expect Excadrill to step in and save him, now it was his turn to step in and save Excadrill as well. He used Power Gem and destroyed the tentacle that wrapped Excadrill, Excadrill fell on the ground hard as the fall was very high. Seeing that Excadrill is defenseless the existence continued its attack on Excadrill and sted multiple tentacles at Excadrill like harpoons as if the pointy end want to impale him. Seeing this Boldore rushed and blocked the tentacles with his own body, his body being a very hard rock was much better at blocking than Excadrill, Excadrill would have been badly injured if those tentacles hit but Boldore stepped in and protected him. Excadrill [Why are you doing this?] He asked as Boldore held of those tentacles. Boldore [I don''t want to disappoint master by quarreling with you, you are part of master''s family as well] Excadrill didn''t say anything and just nodded, suddenly Boldore started to copse as one of his leg''s went weak. Seeing this Excadrill stepped in and used Rock Slide at the Dark Existence, the rocksnded hard but there seems to be no effect at all, the Dark Existence waspletely unfazed by it. ????? [Hahahaha, you can''t hurt me with those pathetic pebbles, I am too strong for you, just give up and be my feast] Boldore [Fuck you]. Chapter 713 - Defeating The Dark Existence Boldore [Fuck You] Boldore suddenly roared and started to push back the tentacles that were trying to puncture him with pure physical strength and it seems to be working, then suddenly something happened, Boldore started to glow and white light covered him. ?? His body started to grow bigger, the crystals on his back started to grow as well, an extra leg grew out of his body, and not he is standing in four legs. The change was huge as the Boldore who was just 1 meter tall grew and became 2 meters tall now, Excadrill was 1.2 meters tall and now he looks like a dwarf in front of the glowing figure, the light faded and Gigalith was in front of everyone. His cyan-colored crystal glowed brightly as he started to collect a lot of energy in front of his mouth, this light ball glowed brightly and then he shot a light beam at the Dark Existence. This move was the same that his father used when it battled Julian in the caves, Gigalith absorbed all the light from his evolution and used it as his own attack. The light beam went right through the dark existence and put a massive hole in its body, the dark existence was stunned by this and suddenly turned into dust, it couldn''t believe that it got destroyed by these weak pokemons. Gigalith and Excadrill were stunned as well, that worked, they both looked at each other and back at the space where the Dark Existence was standing, they defeated it. They looked at each other in surprise, they didn''t expect this at all, they thought they would get destroyed today while trying to take down the dark existence but they somehow did it, Gigalith''s light beam destroyed the Dark Existence. They burst into joy and then rushed towards Julian and his other pokemons who are still on the ground unconscious and pale, as they got closer something changed as the world around them started to shake and the space in front of them started to twist and distort. They felt nauseous and giddy, suddenly the world around them changed and they were greeted by bright sunlight and when they opened their eyes, they saw a dark figure right in front of them, as soon as they saw this dark figure they panicked, Gigalith started to charge up another Light Beam. Julian "Gigalith, stop" He suddenly heard Julian''s voice from behind, both Excadrill and Gigalith turned around and saw Julian with his other pokemons looking at them, they turned back and looked at the dark figure and realized that it was Gengar, Gengar had a big smile on his face, anyone could tell that he was proud of something that he did. Julian "Looks like both of you made up, hahaha" Julianughed as he saw that Excadrill and Gigalith have gotten a little closer, when both of them heard this they realized they were tricked, they got embarrassed and moved away from each other, Julian justughed seeing this. But inside he was a little surprised as well, he didn''t expect both of them to grow close during their stay in Gengar''s dream world, he was also surprised by Boldore''s evolution into Gigalith, because Gigalith''s evolution is a mystery to this world. Gigalith with few other pokemons belongs to a group of pokemons that are known to have a weird evolution process, most pokemons evolve when they reach the limit of their base form, some evolve through an item, some evolve with the help of other pokemons, but Gigalith and few other pokemons have weird evolution process and pokemon researchers couldn''t figure out how they evolve, some of them believed that they evolve like any normal pokemons but that theory was debunked when they noticed many wold Boldores who are very strong and can challenge a champion level pokemon but they still are stuck in their second form. If the first theory was true, they would have evolved way before itself and not be stuck in their second form, some other pokemons who belong to this category are kazam, Machamp, Golem, Gengar, etc. Yes, even Gengar belonged to this category, when Julian caught Gengar he was already a Gengar so Julian never got to know how his Gengar evolved and why did it evolved, he watched the battle between Boldore, Excadrill and Gengar''s image that was the Dark Existence in that world. Boldore''s evolution came as a surprise, from the looks of it, it looked like Boldore got pressured and he decided to evolve just like any other pokemon but Julian noticed that the evolution was different from normal. When Julian''s other pokemons were close to evolving, Julian knew that they are very close but when it came to Boldore, he was clueless, he didn''t give off an aura of evolving nor was he at his limit. It was as if there was no limit to Boldore''s body and this evolution into Gigalith only helped enhanced his power, he was also impressed by Gigalith as he used that Light Beam, Julian knows how effective that move was, he had battled his Gigalith''s father and has seen the damage that the light beam could do. He was also surprised when Gigalith destroyed the Dark Existence with that Light Beam, but he soon realized why it happened, the dark figure was conjured from darkness so when something that was made from pure light touched it, it disappeared as light can get rid of darkness. Julian "Now that both of you have gotten closer, I don''t want any fight in the team, ok?" Julian asked as he looked at his Unova team, they all nodded their head, but Julian also noticed that Karrast was a little down, now he is the only one who is stuck in his base form while all his friends have reached their final form. Julian realized this but he had a surprise for Karrast, once he reaches Unde Town that is where Karrast will get his surprise. Chapter 714 - Black City Things have calmed down in Julian''s camp, Gigalith and Excadrill are no longer quarreling now out of spite, the only sh they have between them is because of their rivalry. Now that Boldore has evolved into Gigalith, both him and Excadrill are now equally matched in strength, while Gigalith has the advantage of Defense and Special Defense over Excadrill, Excadrill has speed on his side. ?? Julian noticed that Gigalith is very slow, with such a massive body he didn''t think it was off though, Gigalith has be the tank of his team and he will soon start to get his training from the sleeping monster Snox, these few days are his happy days. When Snox starts his tank training Gigalith will want to go back to his previous form just so that he can escape from the hell that Snox will put through him, Julian realized that his Unova team has no idea how dangerous the pokemons around them really are. And on top of that, his older pokemons from Sinnoh are being assholes and not telling the younger ones about the horror that they are going to experience very soon, they have experienced the hell that Infernape, Gengar, and Snox has put them through and they don''t want their juniors to see iting, they want to enjoy the reaction of these juniors. Julian''s Hoenn team did the same and didn''t inform the Sinnoh team and now they are also doing the same thing, Julian realized that this trend will continue down further, he just smiled seeing these events taking ce, the little ones of today will be the seniors of tomorrow and with thates their privileges. Julian continued his way towards ck City/ White Forest, this ce he is heading towards is a mystery, it is clear that people live there and go to work, the city is just like any other city but the way its constructed is very weird, every building there is ck, the sses are ck, everything is ck, while the white forest is very different, the trees in this forest has a very lite colored trunk and branches, if looked at from far away, they look like the color white, that is why it is called the white forest. It is also said that the people who live here are very peaceful and they don''t want or hold any kind of pokemon battle as well, the people who live here are very peaceful, even the thought of violence through a sport is not supported inside the forest. After a few days, Julian finally arrived at the outskirts of the ck City/White Forest and just like the inte said, the ce is divided into two parts, one looks very ck with all the tall ck buildings and skyscrapers while the other half looks white because of the white trees, the only thing that doesn''t look white are the leaves on top of the tree, they are still green. Julian was really surprised by this, Crystal also popped out and looked at the massive city and forest in front of it and was fascinated by it, Crystal has never seen something like this, and Crystal being white itself was attracted to the forest. Julian twisted the throttle on his bike which did and wheelie and he headed towards the city first, he didn''t want to directly go to the forest and get lost, first, he needs to find a ce to stay and the city seems like the best choice. He soon arrived in front of the ck City''s gates, just like the article on the inte said, even the gates are ck, if someone wants to travel at night through the city, it can be very hard, luckily they have integrated lights into these ck walls so people can distinguish between different ces and not hit a wall in the dark with the help of these lights. As Julian entered the city, he noticed that the people who live here are quite normal and thankfully they don''t wear only ck, it looks like most of them wear different color clothes but there are still some people who are wearing all ck and these people seem to belong to some kind of group, Julian also noticed that the people who were ck also have some kind of patch on their shirts or jackets. The mostmon one Julian noticed was then of a wolf, crow, and some kind of cat species, it can be anything from, a tiger to a jaguar, as Julian entered the city, some people noticed him but didn''t think much about it, many trainers pass through the city to head further east into the region and the only way is through ck City. Julian soon found himself a hotel to stay at, after getting a hotel room he walked out of it and decided to look around the city and see what really happens here, as the article had exined, every building here is ck, except the interior, people can decide whatever color they want to put inside, after looking around the city he found out that the city is not safe at all. The city is under the control of three massive gangs, the first one is ck Wolf, the second one is ck Crow, and the third one is ck Panther, these three gangs have divided the city into three parts and they rule over the city. The governor of this city seems to bepletely helpless, these gangs also seem to target innocent people and ask them for protection tax from other gangs, since themoners cannot do anything and don''t have the strength to fight back, they decided to pay the gangs and keep the gangs out of their life. Everything seems to be normal in the city, there are frequent gang fights between these gangs and people would hide in their home during these fights, he also learned that these gangs actually force trainers into giving their money to them, some are able to get through because they are stronger than the gang members but that doesn''t mean they are safe. Some times these gang members gang up if they are facing against someone powerful, no matter how good that trainer is, they cannot win against a massive gang, when Julian learned that he might get targeted by these gangs as well, he felt a headacheing towards him. If these gang members noticed any new faces they will approach them and interrogate, if the person is not a citizen, the gang members ask them money for their stay here in the city. Till now Julian has not been exposed to these idiots and has kept his distance from them, he just wants to visit some old monuments in the city and see if the name of the city is somehow rted to the ancient legend. Chapter 715 - Delicious Noodles Julian looked around the city but he couldn''t find any ancient monuments at all, everything in this city was quite modern, Julian realized that this city was very different, he wondered why people live in such a dangerous city, he then got to know that the living expense in this city is very cheap and the city''s technology was very advanced, many young peoplee here to find a ce to stay. The only bother they have here is the gang members and their protection tax, but to the people living here it didn''t matter, even with thebined sum of the living expense and the protection tax, it was still cheaper than living in other cities. ?? The league also never bothered with the gangs who control the city because these gangs actually help in the development of the city, the gangs actually fund the governor of the city to build things in the city. When Julian heard this, it felt very weird, why would the gangs even put the money they stole back into the city, there was more to these gangs than what Julian thought of them at first. Knowing that he won''t find anything on his own, he decided to visit some old stores and ask the owner as they will be more knowledgeable about the ancient monuments in the city, he soon found a noodle shop nearby and entered. He looked around the shop and noticed a few people sitting on their chair, enjoying their long noodles, he also noticed an old man sitting behind the counter and behind him was his small kitchen where he does all his stuff. The old man who is the shop keeper noticed Julian and smiled. Shopkeeper "A new face in the city, what do you want young man?" The shopkeeper asked while pointing at the small menu that was hung next to the wall, Julian looked at the menu and wondered what to it, the menu was not big but it was still hard to choose, there was egg noodles, chicken noodles, beef noodles, chilly noodles, cheese noodles and many more, after giving it some thought he decided to go with chicken noodles because chicken is never a wrong choice. The shopkeeper smiled and got back to his kitchen and started to prepare Julian''s chicken noodles. Shopkeeper "So, young man, what brings you here to ck City, are you here to settle down, many young men of your agee here to settle down to live a carefree life" The Shopkeeper said. Julian "No, I am just traveling far east, ck City is only a temporary stop for me" Shopkeeper "Ah, too bad, I thought I would get another regr customer for my store" The shopkeeper said and chuckled, Julian looked around the store once again and noticed that the shopkeeper doesn''t have many customers and most of them are old people. Julian didn''t say anything and waited for the noodles to be prepared, it didn''t take long before the delicious fragrance of the noodles hit his nose, he wasn''t the only one. Crystal smelled it and popped its head out to look at where the smell ising from, it saw an old man making noodles and got excited, it flew out of Julian''s pocket and sat down on the table right in front of Julian as it was time to eat. They didn''t have to wait long, the shopkeeper finished his cooking and ced the delicious noodles in front of Julian and Crystal, the smell alone was very addictive, the shopkeeper noticed Crystal and was fascinated by the little one, in all his life he has never seen a pokemon like this in his life. Shopkeeper "Who is this little fellow?" The Shopkeeper asked while poking at Crystal''s puffy cheeks. Julian "Its name is Crystal" Shopkeeper "Nice name, now let me leave you guys alone so you can enjoy your noodles" He said and went back to doing kitchen stuff, Crystal didn''t wait for Julian at all and grabbed one end of the noodles and put it directly inside its mouth and started to suck it in, Julian smiled and cut down the noodles for Crystal so it doesn''t choke down by swallowing too much at once. He also took a fork full of noodles and ate it, and he was surprised by the taste, this was the most delicious noodles he has ever eaten in his life. Julian "This is delicious, I don''t know why don''t you have more customers" Julian said. If the noodles tasted this good why aren''t there anyone in his shop gobbling it down? Shopkeeper "Well young people these days are just too judgmental that''s all. When they see a small shop they don''t even mind checking it out, they always care for fancy and expensive things and now they are even viewing food as something fancy, so if a big restaurant hiked up a price for some food, the young ones are attracted to it rather than the same food a small shop sells at a lower price. This city is filled with young men and women and they don''t care about a small old shop like this, all these customers of mine are very old and they have beening to my shop for ages. This is enough for me to live on till I die" The Shopkeeper said and sighed. Julian finished his noodles very fast because it tasted really good. Julian "That was really good, next time Ie here I will bring my girlfriends with me" He said. Shopkeeper "Haha, I will be waiting then, and remember to be safe out there, the three gangs are going to have a turf war very soon" The Shopkeeper said and got back to his kitchen, Julian was also very satisfied after eating such delicious noodles, he got up from his seat, put Crystal back into his pocket and walked out of the shop, and then he suddenly remembered why he entered the shop in the first ce, the food was so good that he forgot his main reason. He walked back into the shop a little embarrassed but he didn''t show it on his face. Julian "Sir, do you know any ancient monuments that are located in the city?" The shopkeeper turned around, surprised by Julian''s question as many young people don''t care about these kinds of stuff. Shopkeeper "Well there are these three ancient temples situated in the city but its very dangerous for a normal person to go there, these temples are right next to the three gang''s headquarters" Hearing this Julian wasn''t surprised, these gangs were really weirdpared to the ones Julian has seen or have experienced before, he knew they are doing something and he needs to check it out. Chapter 716 - Black Crow Gang Headquarters Julian walked out of the noodle shop and looked around, he needs to find out what these gangs really up to. From what he heard, the three gangs have divided the city into three parts and each of their headquarters is actually at the edge of the borders, this was quite troublesome. If these headquarters were near to each other, Julian could sweep through them in one go but now he has to handpick every single one of them and find out what they are hiding or protecting. ? ? While Julian was thinking about which gang to target first, he didn''t realize that some of them were already staring at him and started to approach him. Julian suddenly noticed a group of people approaching him, he turned around and noticed that it was a group of gang members from the ck Crow gang, Julian decided to walk away as he didn''t want to confront these people in front of the noodle shop, Julian started to walk towards the alleyway close by. Seeing that Julian is trying to escape the ck crow gang chased after him to the alleyway, as they took a turn they noticed Julian just standing there. "Boys, he realized that he cannot run so he gave up, he is at least not an idiot" The leader of the group said with a smile on his face and then started to walk towards Julian, he got right into Julian''s face, when he got close he realized that Julian was quite tall and him being only 5''7 didn''t look intimidating at all so he had to get on his toes to meet Julian at eye level. "Did you really think you could get away, you are new to the city so we will excuse you, give us all your money and we will let you go" The man said, still trying to be very intimidating. Julian "No" "Huh? Are you denying us, do you want us to break your legs?" the leader asked while raising his voice, but no matter what he did, he couldn''t intimidate Julian. Julian "I said I won''t give you any money, instead, I want you to take me to your headquarters, I need to check something there" "Guys, is he an idiot, he doesn''t know who is talking to?" The leader turned around and asked his mates but when he turned around he noticed all of his men were shaking in fear as a ck mist was surrounding them. The leader is stunned and turns around looking back at Julian. "What did you do to them?" He asked. He is scared and is intelligent enough to know that he messed with someone who he shouldn''t have bothered. Julian "As I said, take me to your headquarters" The leader was hesitant but still nodded his head, the safety of the headquarters was not as important as his life to him, as he agreed, the ck mist went into the ground and disappeared into their shadows, these men looked at their own shadow in fear as they could still feel something watching them that sent chills down their spine. The regretted targeting Julian but now it was already done, they had no choice but to take Julian to their headquarters, normally no one is allowed around the area of the gang headquarters, anyone who tries to enter will get beaten up very badly by the gangs, the only ones who can enter are the gang members and the person they bring along with them. Julian ''Well that was easy'' Julian thought as he followed the ck Crow gang members back to their headquarters, the gang members were really scared as they continued to walk forward while Julian followed right behind them, they didn''t know why this man wanted to go to their headquarters. They are very clueless and don''t want to get into trouble at all but they knew something big is about to happen and they could still feel something below them, watching them, that ck mist gave off an aura that they have never felt before and they don''t want to experience it ever again. Soon the members brought Julian near the headquarter''s region, as he walked on the street, Julian noticed that nomoner lived in this part of the city, it was inhabited by members of the ck Crow gang. He noticed many ck Crow gang members walking around minding their own business. Some of them turned around and looked at Julian and wondered who this person is, wearing a blue jacket and a ck mask covering his face, they couldn''t figure out the identity of this person, they thought that this person is someone new in the city. They also noticed that he was following some gang members into the headquarters, they wondered what business this man has and why the other gang members are taking him there. Soon they arrived right in front of the headquarters, Julian looked at the massive building in front of him, it is a massive skyscraper with ck walls and sses, he looked around and noticed a very old ancient temple right next to the headquarters, Julian knew this was his target. He also noticed that a lot of gang members stood right in front of the entrance guarding it beside their pokemons, even the pokemons that are standing there are very powerful, they are as strong as a gym leader''s ace pokemon. He carefully looked at the ancient building and noticed the carvings on the wall, these carvings depicted Zekrom as lightning clouds surrounded it. Julian ''I might be right, the city''s names might be rted to these pokemons and these gang members are trying there best so that the outside world doesn''t know about it, I wonder what this ancient building is hiding'' Julian thought and looked at the gang members in front of him, he noticed that they were very hesitant right now, he could tell that they were having second thoughts, being surrounded by their own members gave them a little confidence and with the presence of their elite members, they thought they will be able to fight back against Julian. Chapter 717 - Meteor Shower Julian just stared at them, he was not bothered with these people, with the firepower he has with him, he can bring down the whole skyscraper within seconds and nobody here could stop him. And seeing how the gang members are reacting, Julian knew they are going to try something stupid right now, he knew he will have to bring them down before they evene into an agreement. ?? "Help, this man forced us to bring him here, be careful he is dangerous" Suddenly the leader of the group shouted which alerted everyone around the headquarters, when they heard one of their members call for them, all of them turned around and looked at Julian who is just standing there. Soon many of them started to approach Julian and got closer to him, even some of the elites that were protecting the ancient building came forward to see what is happening. One of the elite approached the leader of the small group to ask him what is happening. "Bother, we saw this man near the east side of the city. Since we have never seen him we thought that he was a traveler so we decided to approach him and ask for the protection tax but he took us to an alleyway and forced us to bring him here, he practices some weird and scary method, you should be careful" The leader of the small group exined everything to the Elite member of the gang, the elite gang member looked at Julian and frowned. "Do you think that anyone could just barge into the ck Crow gang without suffering any serious consequence, men beat him up then break his legs and throw him out of here" The Elite gang member said and ordered his juniors to beat up Julian. Julian "I won''t say much, back down and no one will get hurt, I just need to look into that building, that''s all" Julian said while pointing at the ancient building, the Elite member looked at the ancient building and frowned. "You are very delusional, I just thought you came here to fool around, but you are after our sacred relic, men capture him and put him inside the cell, the boss will deal with himter" The Elite member ordered. Julian sighed and took out a Pokeball and tossed it up in the air and released Garchomp out of his Pokeball, seeing that Julian is going to fight back, every gang member took out their Pokeball and sent out their pokemon to beat up Julian''s Garchomp. Julian looked at these pokemons and sighed, there was no way they could even put a scratch on his Garchomp. Julian "All of you just sent out all your pokemons so that I don''t have to waste my time" Julian said being pretty annoyed, this could have gone really easily, if those idiots have not opened their mouth, he would make the main boss cower in fear and let him give ess to the ancient monument. Now he has to take down the whole gang. Hearing what Julian just said, every gang member got pissed and took out every pokemon in their arsenal and sent it out, since Julian asked for it, they will dly oblige. Seeing more than a hundred pokemons in front of him Garchomp just grinned and showed his sharp fangs to them, some of these pokemons felt the danger that this ck Garchomp passed but with their numbers, they are still confident. Julian "Use Draco Meteor and finish them off" Garchomp roared and caused every pokemon there to step back in fear as they felt the aura being released from Garchomp, some of them even decided to abandon their trainer''smand and flee, seeing this every gang member were shocked. Suddenly Garchomp shot a glowing ball of energy up in the sky, the energy light ball reached very high in the sky and suddenly exploded and started to fall down like Meteor Shower, every single one of them had enough power to knock out a high-level pokemon with one hit. Some of the stronger pokemons decided to fight back and shot their own moves at these meteors that wereing down at incredible speed while others used Protect to protect themselves from the massive impact that is going to rue. The meteors whistled down and started to crash on the ground creating massive explosions everywhere, the pokemons tried to fight back but it was all useless, even if their Protect was able to block the first one, the second one would hit them hard, same happened to the pokemons that decided to counter as well, their moves got destroyed by the first and they got knocked out by the second. After a few seconds of the meteor shower, the whole ce turned silent and the ground sizzled from the heat that it was radiating. The whole area has be gagged and destroyed, all the pokemons and gang members have been knocked out cold from that, only one was standing and it was the Elite Gang member but he was shaking in fear, his cloth has beenpletely burned and his body is covered with scratches and ashes. He looked in horror as he stared at the ck Garchomp. Julian "Now, will you block my path?" Julian asked while looking at him, the man shook his head from left to right without even hesitating for a second, Julian smiled but the man couldn''t see it, he called back Garchomp to his Pokeball and walked right past the Elite gang member and walked towards the ancient monument. Chapter 718 - A Map? Julian entered through the gate and entered into the headquarters, there are still some gang members here but they quickly backed away as they saw Julian walking towards them, they saw what he and his Garchomp just did and they are not stupid enough to block him. Julian directed walked towards the ancient monument, the gang members who were guarding this are all ran away as soon as they saw Julian walking towards them, they saw what just happened to one of their own just a few minutes ago, just like him they were also Elite gang members but he still got destroyed along with many other gang members. ?? They knew they had no chance against Julian so they didn''t bother to fight back, they just ran away, they decided to go and inform the Gang Leader, their boss about this. Julian watched at the gang members run away in fear from him, he then puts his focus on the ancient monument that is in front of him, as he looks at them, he sees the carvings of Zekrom now more clear than before. At first, it was a little blurry but he could make it out by looking at the lightning patterns around this pokemon but now everything is clear, the wall of this monument is filled with ancient writings depicting the legends of this pokemon. But to Julian these didn''t matter, he decided to walk in and check out what these gang members are actually protecting, after entering the monument, he noticed more wall carvings and paintings of ancient civilization here in Unova. But these monuments are not that old eitherpared to the ones found in Sinnoh, the history of these monuments are at maximum 1000 years old when the original dragon split into three. ording to the inte, Unova is the youngest regionpared to its neighbor, the oldest being Sinnoh, Unova''s age was youngpared to other regions so some of its histories were never lost, they are forgotten but never lost. The League Headquarters here in Unova has dedicated a lot of money and resources to preserve their history, Julian just didn''t understand why the league ignored these monuments, and on top of that this city has three of them. Julian looked around and was fascinated by all the paintings and carvings, the amount of talent and time it must have taken for whoever made these must be immense, Julian is even more surprised that these things are still being preserved by these goons who were clearly fishy in Julian''s opinion. They acted like any gangs but there was something off about them, putting the thought about the gang to the back of his mind, he continued to explore the ancient ruins After looking around he found a path that went deeper into the ground, with ancient monuments like this, it is expected to have some kind of underground passage to protect the thing that is kept inside, he walked down the path with Darmanitan as he lit up the torches that were stuck into the walls. After Darmanitan lit up the passage, it was more clear to Julian, these walls are filled with ancient scriptures as well but these ones are a little different from the ones he saw in the main hall of the monument, these words were a little modernpared to them. The words of today seem to be a modification of these words itself, as time passed these words changed and people found more efficient ways to use them, and the way people speak changed as well. He tried to read these words and understood some, it seemed like some kind of prayer that the people of the ancient time used, Julian continued forward and soon found himself at the end of the path, there was nothing here except arge painting on the wall. This painting looked like some kind of map but it looked iplete, Julian tried to figure it out which part of the region is this map from, he then found some points on the map that resembled the ones of today. Julian "This is a very old map of Unova" He figures out that this map was of the old Unova but this one is iplete. Julian "This only looks like a quarter of the map, where is the rest?" He questioned himself that is when he suddenly heard footsteps preaching his direction, he expected this to happen, the gang members must have informed their boss or Gang Leader about Julian''s sudden visit to their headquarters. Julian turned around and saw a bunch of shadows appearing at the corner of the wall as the group got closer, soon he saw the peopleing in, right in front of the group is a middle-aged man with thick beard and mustache, he has thick ck hair on top and white hairs on his side, the people behind him are the same gang members that ran away after seeing Julian. The middle-aged man looked at Julian and turned back to his men. "You may all leave, I will talk to him alone" He said. When the gang members heard this they were surprised but terrified for their boss''s safety as well. "But boss, he is a dangerous man" One of them said. "If he is really as dangerous as you say, it won''t matter if you all stay here, now go" The boss said while looking at his gang members, the gang members realized that their boss was telling the truth and they also remembered the horror that Julian and his pokemon really are and they don''t want to experience it again. Chapter 719 - What Is It Hiding? The gang members quickly ran away without even thinking for a second, they didn''t want to do anything with regards to this man in a blue jacket and his pokemon. Julian looked at the middle-aged man who is in front of him with a weird expression as he didn''t show any sign of hostility towards him, if it was any normal gang leader, they would be really pissed if someone destroyed theirnds and walked into their headquarters forcefully. ?? But this man in front of him is actually smiling while looking at Julian. "You must be Mr. Julian, right?" The man suddenly said catching Julian off-guard. Julian "How did you figure it out?" Julian asked. "Well, when one of my boys said something about a ck Garchomp, it was very clear on who came to visit me, there is only one person I can think of who has a very powerful ck Garchomp. Julian "I see, so what do you want, you definitely cannot stop me" Julian said. Trying to figure out what this man in front of him wants. Gang Leader "I think there is a misunderstanding between us, Mr. Julian, I am not just a gang leader, I also work for the league" When he said this Julian was surprised but when he gave it a thought, it made some sense, if the gang leader himself is working for the league, the league won''t mind interfering with their business at all. Julian "So why are you a gang leader?" Julian asked. Gang Leader "Because of that" He said while pointing at the map that is painted on the wall, Julian turned around and looked at the map painted on the wall. Julian "What does this map show? why protect it and from who?" Gang Leader "The purpose of the three gangs in the ck city is to keep the secret about this map away from the outside world, us putting restriction around this territory prevents people froming hear and talking about these ancient monuments, this also helps us from leaking information about this to the massive criminal organization and the underworld. The ce that this map indicates is something very dangerous and no one should ever get their hands on it" The gang leader said with a little fear in his voice. Julian got curious, what is this map actually hiding. Julian "What is it hiding?" He asked. Gang Leader "Kyurem" When Julian heard this, she was shocked, he couldn''t believe what the Gang Leader just said, the existence of Kyurem and the proof backing its existence are too vague, people say that it exists but there have never been any documents proving its existence. Even Zekrom and Reshiram has been documented, the only reason people know about Kyurem''s name is that it has been mentioned in many legends and children''s fairy tale where it is said that Kyurem visits the town and kidnap people and pokemon, take it back to its cave and eat them. Julian didn''t believe the Gang Leader but he won''t deny Kyurem''s existence either. If this map really leads to Kyurem, Julian is willing to take the risk, to find this legendary pokemon. Julian "Are you sure?" Gang Leader "A hundred percent, when the league found out about these maps, they tried to find it and they were sessful but those who went there never came back, the only person that survived the horror is suffering from PTSD and has retired" The Gang Leader exined. Julian "I see, if this Kyurem really exists, I want to find it, where are the other part of the maps?" Since the league itself has confirmed its existence, there is no way Julian is not going to check it out. The Gang Leader was not surprised when he heard that Julian wants to look into this, he is the only one strong enough to face this monster anyways. Gang Leader "There are four parts of this map, this being the first one, the other part of the maps are in the other two gang headquarters and one in the White Forest, I can help you with the other two maps here in the ck city but the one in the White Forest is out of our judiciary and we have no power over their decision, it will depend on your skill to convince the forest elder to show you thest part of the map" Julian "Hmm, that would be helpful" Julian said and looked at the map once again and took a photo of it in his phone since there is nothing else here, Julian decided to return back to his hotel or go to another headquarters area and find the other parts of the ma. Gang Leader "Mr. Julian, I think you should visit these gangs tomorrow, by then I will be able to inform the others, we don''t want another incident like the one that happened today". Julian "That''s a great I idea, I will be going then and please inform the others because I don''t have much time, I will have to leave the city soon" Gang Leader "Don''t worry Mr. Julian, I will take care of it". Chapter 720 - Crows Maid With new information about the existence of Kyurem and the possibility of finding it made Julian a little excited, the thought of finding a pokemon that has never seen before is very exciting for Julian. As he walks out of the ancient monument, he sees the ck Crow gang leader standing out waiting for him. ?? Gang leader "There is one more thing I want to inform you about that thing" He said. Julian "Hmm, what is it?" Gang Leader "The legends state that the thing there is waiting for someone who can fill the missing part of it, when the main body split, the third one became iplete, so till this day it is waiting and anyone who cannot solve its problem has been killed, it''s not something one should mess with" Julian nodded and pondered on what the Gang Leader said, Kyurem, the iplete dragon, the one who neither chose the path of Truth or the Ideals, Julian wondered what it really wants. Julian "Do you know what it wants?" Gang Leader "Unfortunately no, we have nothing on that, Kyurem is a mystery and it should be kept as such as we don''t want it to fall in the hands of the wrong person, it is much more vicious than both Reshiram and Zekrom making it much more dangerous than them" Julian "I see, I will be leaving then" Julian bid his farewell and decided to go back to his hotel room, the information he received today was massive, the existence of Kyurem is no joke and Julian needs time to process it. Julian became more curious about these dragon trios the more he thought about them, he also wondered how strong was the Original Dragon before it split into three. Can it rival the powers of the Physical manifestation of pokemons like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina? Or is it even more powerful, Julian had no idea but the Zekrom he saw at the beginning of his journey in Unova was very strong, as strong as the shiny Rayquaza he defeated in Hoenn! Julian "I need to rest" He said and went back to his hotel and sleep peacefully. ________________________ Back at the ck Crow gang, the Gang leader returned back to his room and sat down on his sofa, sighing in relief, a maid by the side poured gave him some water, he drank it and took a long long sigh and wiped off the sweat on his forehead. Gang Leader "Jeez, just standing in front of him is scary, no wonder the league said to watch and act respectfully in front of him, I need to inform the others about him so their men don''t cause any trouble and get themselves destroyed like mine" He paused and looked at his maid. Gang Leader "Get me the phone" The maid nodded and walked away to bring his private phone, the gang leader just looked at the maid''s ass while she walked away. Gang Leader ''Shit, she is hot, too bad she isn''t interested in doing stuff with me, I even tried to give her more money but she refused'' He sighed and just dreamt about sleeping with his hot blond maid, she soon came with a phone and handed it over to the Gang Leader. He took the phone and looked at her and told her to leave, she bowed her head and walked out of his room. As the maid walked out she returned to her room and suddenly took out a small transmitter hidden between her breast and started to listen from it. "Hello, Wolf, Panther, it''s me" The Crow Gang leader said while talking on the phone as the maid listens to it through the transmitter. Wolf "Yes, what is it?" Panther "I hope its something important, I am busy right now" She could even hear the voice of other gang leaders on the other side of the call. Crow "The Champion Julian was here and he destroyed my whole gang as they tried to stop him from checking out the ancient alter here" Panther "You are joking right?" Wolf "You must be joking, why would he be here?" Crow "Why would he not be here, the league has been observing him for such a long time and they know he is interested in ancient legendary and mythical pokemons, he came here to find something and my gang was unfortunate enough to stand in between his way" Wolf "Shit, how much damage have you suffered?" Crow "He blew up the whole front entrance and the area in front of it with just one move from his Garchomp" Panther "So will he being for us as well?" Crow "Yes, but don''t worry, I already told him about our situation, when he gets there, just let him pass through and let him take the map" Wolf "Wait, does he wants to find that thing?" He asked with a slight tremble in his voice. Crow "Yes, he is" Panther "Isn''t that suicidal?" Crow "For us it is, but for that guy, it''s not, he has already defeated so many legendary pokemons, do you really think that thing can stop him?" Wolf "I guess you are right, so do you know when he will be arriving?" Crow "He said, he will drop by tomorrow, just let your men know not to block him when hees here" Wolf/Panther "Understood" Crow "Good, I will be ending the call then" With that, the call ended and the maid put away the transmitter very quickly, she thought about the conversation that she just listened a frowned. Maid "I have to inform the boss" She said and took out another phone that was attached to the bottom side of the bed with some clippers and she dialed a number. Chapter 721 - High Risk, Higher Reward Kanto region, Team Rocket''s base_ Giovanni is sitting on his couch as he strokes his Persian while driving a ss of wine, suddenly a phone starts to ring beside him, he looks to his right at his secretary Matori. ?? Matori looks at the phone to check who is calling. Matori "Sir, it''s Beta" Giovanni "Oh, she finally called, she must have something interesting, pick up the call" Matori "Yes sir" She said and picks up the call and puts it on speaker. Beta "Boss" Giovanni "Beta, how is everything going? I hope you have some good news" Beta "Boss, it''s bad" Giovanni "What do you mean?" Giovanni got curious as he heard Beta, he could tell that she is a little concerned, Beta is not someone that gets concerned or scared like that, she is a champion level trainer, there are only a few people who can make her behave like this. Beta "It''s that monster, he is here in ck City" As Giovanni heard this he frowned, there is only one monster in Giovanni''s eyes and its Julian, Beta also refers to him as a monster because she has seen what Julian can do with her own eyes, he brought down an entire massive criminal organization single-handedly, even the strongest champion of any region can''t do that. Giovanni''s hand trembles a little as he spills the wine in his ss, Matori bends down and wipes the wine of his hand and pants, she knows Julian and how much of a threat he really is, he has already destroyed Team Rocket once and he can do it again, the only reason Team Rocket was able to reestablish is because of Giovanni, his influence in the underworld is very big. Giovanni "What is he doing there?" He asked. Beta "He is after the same thing you are, the thing that is hidden in the ancient monuments" Giovanni "Why is he after something that nobody knows about, did you find out what it is?" Beta "Yes, I just found out that the monuments hide a map that leads to something" Giovanni "A map you say?" Beta "Yes, the Crow was saying that the map leads to something very dangerous and anyone else who tries to find it ismitting suicide" Giovanni "I see, if that monster is really after this then abort the mission, nothing can stop him, instead find a way to infiltrate Team sma, they are giving me a headache, I need to end them as soon as possible" Beta "I understand" Giovanni waved his hand at Matori and she ended the call. Matori "What do you n to do now boss?" Giovanni "I sent Beta to figure out what the league is hiding in ck City in Unova after my resource informed me about something very powerful hidden there that can help me catch Mewtwo, but now that the monster himself has decided to interfere with it, I can''t do anything but wait and see what happens. It''s all the same again, I sent Beta to investigate Team Gctic and when I found out that they are facing of against that monster, I told her to retreat because I knew they were doomed the moment they crossed path with him. But right now I cannot just sit here and do nothing, Team sma is getting on my nerves, their influence in the underworld is rising incredibly fast, I cannot allow their influence to grow in the underworld, it is bad for Team Rocket''s future as they have the same goal as us, soon we will sh in the future because of our same interest, there can only be one ruler and it has to be my Team Rocket, not Team sma. Help Beta infiltrate into Team sma and help her in any way, shape, or form, to find their weakness or anything crucial and what they are nning to do, I am even willing to join hands with that monster to destroy Team sma. By how Team sma is operating and being reckless, they must have already crossed paths with him and their end is for certain. We just need to escte this process. Once Beta finds everything, make sure that the monster finds out about it and he will take care of Team sma for us" Matori "Boss, you are incredible, using that monster for our benefit" Matori said while being totally impressed by Giovanni''s decision to use Julian and destroy Team sma before they be a threat to Team Rocket on a global scale and in the Underworld. Giovanni "Haha, you don''t understand the danger since you are just new to this position, I am taking a huge risk by throwing the bait to that monster, even if he takes that bait, it will depend on him on how wants to handle the situation. He will definitely destroy Team sma but after that, he mighte to destroy Team Rocket once again if he wants to, this is a dangerous game I am ying with him, the risk is high but the reward can be even higher if everything goes well, Team Rocket will be one of the biggest power in the Underworld if Team sma disappears" Matori "I will keep that in mind, boss" Giovanni "Hmm, just don''t let the feeling of power get into your head and help Beta with all the resources she asks for" Matori "I understand". She said and walked out of the room leaving Giovanni behind all alone with his Persian. Chapter 722 - Bunch Of Simps Back in Unova, inside the ck Crow Gang headquarters, the maid who is actually Beta put her phone away and got ready to leave, she was sent to investigate about the relics that are being protected here by the League in the disguise of gang members and keeping it away from the public eye. With Giovanni''s power and connection he found out about something that is being hidden here and he sent Beta to do her job, infiltrate and search, being the best in the business Beta was very close to finding out what was really hidden inside those ancient monuments and thanks to Julian she was able to find what the league was really hiding in these monuments. ?? But she also knew that she cannot do anything no but abort the mission since Julian is now involved, she doesn''t want to face off against him, she still remembers the horror his Snox caused while going through the Shadow Legion''s headquarters, he also destroyed their whole army. Beta got up from her bed and decided to get out of here before things get out of hand here, with the new mission she needs to work even harder, she has been collecting info on Team sma for quite a while now and she knows how dangerous this organization actually is, their influence in the underworld is slowly rising and soon they will be able to rival Team Rocket itself and Giovanni hatespetitors. She needs to find a way to infiltrate in and find their weakness, their n and inform to Giovanni, but before that, she needs to get out of here, the best way to get out of the league''s radar is to fake her death and that can be easily done. She walks towards the kitchen and starts to prepare dinner for the gang leader and while doing so she calls out her pokemon, Zoroark. Beta "Use Protect and then create an explosion after that create an illusion of my death with a totally burnt body" Zoroark nodded and used Protect to block Beta and itself from the explosion, then it used Dark Pulse and hit the gas stove, which suddenlybusted and exploded causing a massive explosion that shattered all the sses around the kitchen and rooms near the area. Hearing the massive explosion everyone rushed towards the kitchen, the gang members saw the kitchen burning and quickly called out their water pokemon and got rid of the fire, even the Crow came down to check out what happened. He noticed the burnt Kitchen and walked in to see a fully burnt corpse which was smashed next to the shelf near the sink, looking at the burnt piece of cloth, he realized that this is actually his maid, he is shocked by this. The gang members also looked at the charged body in shock, most of them had a massive crush on her because of how beautiful and sexy she was while walking down wearing her maid outfit but now she is dead, totally burnt. Crow "Take her away and bury her outside" After ordering his men, the Crow left saddened by seeing his maid death, he remembered how cold she was to him and how she always rejected his advance no matter how hard he tried. Crow ''So sad, what a waste, she was such a beautiful woman, now she is just a burnt corpse, she wasn''t even allowed to be beautiful in her death, the world is a very cruel ce'' He though. Beta had really made a huge impact on these men, she was one of the most beautiful and sexy women they had ever seen and everyone in the headquarters loved her and now she is gone and no one was able to spend their time with her, they had done everything she asked them to do just so that they could talk too her. Even Crow was not that different, he was head over heels for her but being the Gang Leader he had to show some toughness. The gang members cried as they lifted the charred body carefully and took it outside the headquarters and buried it into the ground and quickly erected a tombstone on top of it which was titled. [The most beautiful woman in the world, Sera] Well, Sera was her code name during this mission, her real name being Ang. Beta, who was standing quite nearby watching with a smile on her face, while her Zoroark was still ying with the gang members with its illusion. Beta "What a bunch of simps" She said and chucked, she knew how beautiful she is and how much of an impact she can have on men around her, the only person she couldn''t impress was Julian because he already had women who were as beautiful as her. Once the Gang members finished crying and got back to work after being scolded by Crow, Beta decided to leave, as she was about to she suddenly received a message from Matori regarding the mission. When she looked at the mission details, she frowned, Giovanni told her to help Julian find out more about Team sma so he can eliminate them as quickly as possible, she didn''t know how to respond to this. Was she scared of Julian, no, she was not, she noticed that Julian never killed so she knew her life was never in danger! Was she keen on meeting and interacting with him, definitely no, just being in his presence would suffocate her and now Giovanni wants her to be the medium between Julian and the destruction of Team sma. While she wanted to deny this request, she cannot, she works for Team Rocket now and she knows how dangerous Giovanni is, she would rather get on the bad side of Julian then go against Giovanni, unlike Julian he won''t even think if he wants to kill someone. Beta "Ok" She sends her reply back to Matori and then receives some funds for her new mission and some info which can help her in figuring out how to infiltrate Team sma. Beta closes her phone and gets out of the ck Crow gang headquarters with her Zoroark as her work is done here. Chapter 723 - Collecting Map Pieces! A full day has passed and Julian has no idea what has happened during his stay here in the ck city, a new day has arrived and Julian is getting ready to head towards the other gang headquarters to get the maps. After following his usual morning routine, he walked out of his hotel and headed straight towards the ck Wolf Gang Headquarters. ?? On his way, he thought about what else he could find near the Wolf Gang headquarters, it didn''t take him long to find the ce since it was filled with men wearing clothes with the ck wolf symbol on them. When Julian walked in, the gang members just watched him walk past, they had already received an order from their boss to not bother the man with a ck mask when hees to the headquarters, they just watched curiously on who this person could be and why would their boss let some unknown stranger just enter their headquarters like this. This has never happened before, the boss would always make sure that gang members follow anyone that enters the headquarters, but this time he asked them to leave this man alone and let him do whatever he wants. The gang members wondered how powerful or influential is this person to make their boss act like this. Julian walked past these gang members, he could tell they were curious about him because of how they looked at him, Julian felt weird being looked by some many men at the same time, he just ignored them and walked into the headquarters. Just like in the Crow Gang headquarters he found an ancient monument right next to the main building and it looked very ancient, unlike the one near the ck Crow gang, this one looked a little different, this also had Zekrom''s carvings all over its walls but the way it was depicted was very different, the lighting around it was not present, instead, it looked like rainstorm as the water below its feet looked like an angry ocean ready to thrash anything. He walked right past the gang members guarding the ce, they were clearly told not to interfere so they didn''t bother stopping Julian and just looked at him. As Julian entered the monument, he found different things here, in the previous one he found paintings, but here he found a lot of writings, this looked like scriptures and prayers. He could understand some words carved on the wall because they were the original form of the words that exist today. As he looked around the ce he soon found a small passage just like the previous in near the ck Crow gang headquarters, these monuments seem to have been build and designed by the same people as their make and structure were very familiar and just like yesterday, Julian came across another part of the old Unova map. He took a picture and observed the writings on the wall, these writings told stories of the two dragons and the two heroes of Unova, he read them and understood some, but the knowledge he received from them was nothing new that Julian didn''t know about, he had already heard or read about them. What Julian was more interested in is about Kyurem as it is the unique one of the three dragons and the one with the most mystery, even its origin is not confirmed yet, some people in Unova doesn''t even believe that this dragon was the part of the original dragon and that it came from outer space, but that theory was proved false after historians found some very crucial materials from ancient age when the Original Dragon split. The meteor that they talked about was actually a dragon stone, just like the one Julian is in possession of, the one that belongs to Reshiram. After finding nothing else he decided to go to the other headquarters that belonged to the ck panther gang, Julian could have asked the gang leader himself to send him the pictures of the maps but he wouldn''t be able to see the ancient monuments for himself. If Julian had not decided to be a pokemon trainer, he would mostly be a historian as he was very interested in the history of the pokemons and this world that they live in. The gang members of the ck wolf gang just watched as Julian left their headquarters, none of them made a sound and tried to ask him what he wanted because their boss said so and Julian preferred it that way. When Julian had woke up today he noticed a message from Jimi saying that the league took some money from him because Julian destroyed their property, he was really pissed but he couldn''t me them. His Garchomp did cause a massive crater right in front of the gang''s headquarters, Julian has already destroyed so many battlefields that league put their money to make, they won''t just leave him after he destroys something outside the battlefield as well. His next stop was the ck Panther gang and it was the same situation, Julian walked into the headquarters and none of the gang members bothered him, he got the third part of the map and read through the scriptures depicted on the walls of the monument, this time he actually learned about the dragon stone of Zekrom wasst seen in Nacrene city in the ancient times and never seen again. He tried to find things about Kyurem and see if there is anything mentioning Kyurem''s dragon stone but he found nothing, Julian was not disappointed but he had many questions. Julian "Maybe I can find something in White Forest, the Crow Gang leader said that thest piece of the map is in White Forest, maybe it has more to offer" He said and walked out of the ck Panther headquarters and decided to head towards White Forest as it is the only ce left where he could find anything rted to the Original Dragon Trio. Chapter 724 - The White Forest With nothing left to find in the ck City, Julian headed towards the White Forest, unlike ck City the white forest if mostly home to old people who had enough of living in the loud cities and wants to enjoy the peaceful environment of the forest. Being surround by the forest and being protected by its pokemons, these people don''t have to worry about much in their life, they get up grow their own food, eat it, and got back to living their peaceful lives. ?? With the forest proving them from food to shelter, they don''t worry about much in this world and what''s going on outside the trees. Julian got on his bike and headed towards White Forest, for some reason he had to get out of ck City before entering the White Forest, they didn''t build any passage that directly connects the two ces. When he arrived at the entrance of the White Forest he saw few people standing outside it. They looked like normal people, the only thingmon between these people is that they all are wearing white cloths so they go along with the forest''s theme. When these men noticed a man heading towards their forest, they quickly got in the middle of the route and stopped him. Julian hit the brake as he saw these men blocking his path, he didn''t understand why they were blocking him, the Crow gang leader said that they don''t bother with outside people unless they don''t cause any trouble. Julian stopped right in front of them and looked at them with doubtful eyes. "Excuse me, sir, sorry for the inconvenience but you cannot ride your bike inside the forest, only walking is allowed inside the forest" Julian realized that these people are really serious about protecting the forest, they can''t allow even a single motorcycle into the forest, knowing that he won''t be allowed to enter without putting his bike away, he got off the bike and put it away in his dimensional pouch. Since he put his bike away the men smiled and moved away from the route to let Julian through, now that he has no bike to ride now, he has to walk through the White Forest and reach the civilization that is situated in the middle of the forest. The forest is not that bigpared to other forests Julian has been or camped in but this one is very special, as he walks on the road that is going through the forest, he looks carefully at the trees, why are these branches white, they are not totally white, but they are very close. Soon Julian noticed a lot of pokemon wildlife, some of them were had great potential and attracted Julian''s attention but he decided to not catch them as he wanted to find some rare pokemons for his team. After walking for quite a while he finally came across the vige that is inside the forest, he looked around and saw people walking around and talking to each other, most of them were past their 30s and older, they had their pokemons beside them and most of these pokemons looked very peaceful in nature. Some of these people noticed Julian and smiled at him, few kids rand towards him as they saw a new face, being the curious little ones they are, they greet anyone with a big smile on their face when they see them. Julian was dragged into the vige by the little kids and brought him to the vige elder. The vige elder who was sitting under a tree arranging a basket of flowers saw a bunch of kids drag a stranger towards her, she was used to this by now, these kids would always bring strangers to her because she was the one who gave them the task to escort travelers to her house. The Vige Elder got on her feet and smiled at Julian" Vige Elder "Sorry for the inconvenience, these little kids are naughty" She said andughed while looking at the small kids who ran away after leaving Julian in her hands. Vige Elder "So young man, what is your purpose of visiting our little vige?" Julian "Ah, I will get straight to the point, I want to visit the ancient ruins that are here in the White Forest" When the Vige Elder heard about what Julian wanted, she showed signs of hesitation, Julian, of course, noticed it and thought it won''t be easy to get ess to these ruins. Vige Elder "I don''t think that''s possible" Julian "Why is that?" Vige Elder "That part of the forest was essible before to every pokemon and people in the forest but now things have changed, some pokemons from other forest havee and upied the area and they are very ferocious and wild, many pokemons have fled from that area since these wild pokemons attacked anyone that got in their sight" The Vige Elder exined the current situation of the forest and how some wild foreign pokemons have taken over the part of the forest where the ancient ruins lie. Julian "I think I can take care of that" He said. They are just wild pokemons, Julian can take care of them so it doesn''t matter who is around the ancient ruins. Vige Elder "I don''t know these pokemons are really strong and they have a massive number in their group as well, many people from our vige tried to fight back but everyone failed" Julian "Don''t worry, I know my limits, if things turn bad I will make a run for it" Vige Elder "Fine, we usually don''t allow strangers to go near the Ancient ruins but now that we have been blocked from going there, we can make some exception, if you are able to chase them away, we can let you ess the Ancient ruins" Julian "It''s a deal" Julian said and smiled. Chapter 725 - Wild Pokemon Pack Since Julian promised to get rid of the pokemons who took over the area around the ancient ruins, the Vige Elder would let him check out the ancient ruin. Before Julian headed towards the ancient ruins, the Vige Elder actually gave him a key that will unlock the door to the ruins. Unlike the ones in the ck city, this ancient ruin is actually used by the people of White Forest and they perform prayers and ceremonies there every month. ?? The vigers living in White Forest use the Ancient Ruin as a shrine and worship the forest god Celebi there, after performing their prayers they usually lock the ruin and don''t let anyone enter the sacred ground. But now none of them are able to enter the ruin because of the foreign wild pokemons. The Vige Elder then gave him the direction to the ancient ruin so that he doesn''t get lost, with everything in hand Julian headed towards the ancient ruins, the vige elder and the little kids who dragged him towards her just watched as Julian left. The vige elder sighed, she wondered if this young man could actually help them. Before they didn''t let anyone enter the ancient ruin because it was their secret ground but now they are not able to enter as well because of the wild pokemons. They tried to contact many trainers or outsiders to help them but they got rejected because they didn''t let them enter the Ancient ruins before, but no luck has finally signed upon them, a new person has arrived at their vige and offered to help. Knowing that they cannot be stubborn and need to give something to get something, the vige elder decided to let Julian in and check out the ancient ruins. She knows what''s inside the ancient ruins but she also knows that it is not theplete thing and no trainers in strong enough to get the other parts because they are protected by powerful gangs. _____________________ Julian walked down the path that was introduced to him by the vige elder, she warned him about multiple things like wild pokemons, which ones to avoid and which ones to ignore and just walk past them. She warned him about a swarm of Beedrills on the path but to Julian, it didn''t matter, just the aura from Gengar caused them to run away from their nesting site as soon as they sensed the dangerous aura. It didn''t take him long before he arrived at the site, as soon as he got there he felt multiple eyes locking onto him and they felt really hostile, just like the vige elder said, these pokemons are not friendly, just as Julian stepped into their territory, they already decided to attack. Julian didn''t care, he could ask Gengar to release his energy and scare them away so he can go into the ancient ruin and find the map but they will soon return to the ce once they sense the threat has gone. He needs to beat them down and make them submit so that they don''te back. Julian knew that as soon as he takes a step forward the pokemons that are hiding will attack him, knowing the Irish he still took the step as just as he expected a Hyper Beam was shot at him, Julian jumped to the side and the Hyper Beam hit a tree destroying itpletely along with other trees behind it. He turned towards the direction from where the attack came and saw a Beheeyem, a pure psychic type pokemon, they are not the strongest of the psychic type pokemons but they still have decent firepower, but this one is particr was special, it seemed more powerful than a normal Beheeyem. Julian was surprised to see one of these here because they don''t belong in this habitat, Julian then sensed another attacking towards him, it was a methrower, Julian jumped to the side and watched as the blue mes burnt the green grass on the groundpletely. Julian looked at the direction of the attack and saw a Lampent, Julian is surprised again as this Lampent is clearly way better than anyone found in the wild, Julian had the idea of catching it but decided not to because he will have three fire type pokemons in his team if he did so. Another attack came from behind and Julian jumped up, this time it is a Sr Beam, Julian turned around and saw a Lilligant, it was the same case scenario, this Lilligant is stronger than any Lilligant at its level. Julian is surprised by how strong these pokemons really are, if he gets lucky and finds one that suits his taste, he will have another pokemon in his team. Soon there were multiple attacks tossed at Julian but he dodged them easily, he didn''t have any problem dealing with these pokemons, they are a little too weak for him to take them seriously, if a normal human saw this, they would be shocked by seeing how Julian is dodging these attacks. No normal human should be able to do this. Soon Julian found himself cornered by a bunch of very strong pokemons in their own ss, most of these were in their second evolution and final evolution, but the top dogs on the group were at another level. Julian found himself trapped, no matter how much of a superhuman he is, he cannot fight against all these pokemons, well they cannot injure him in any way, shape or form, he still can''t outfight them as they are a massive group. Julian carefully looked at this massive pack of pokemons, all of them had the potential to be very strong pokemons and be under great trainers and maybe even participate in the league. Julian wondered how they got so strong without the help of any trainers. The leader of this group is actually a pokemon that is very close to the Elite Four level and it''s a Bisharp, these pokemons are known for their high attack damage and good defense but theyck in other aspects and are average at best. But this Bisharp is clearly very strong, just a little more training and it can easily battle against any Elite-Four level pokemon. Julian ''Too bad its already developed fully, it will be hard for me to bring out its hidden potential'' Julian thought as he looked at the Bisharp. The Bisharp was clearly not happy with Julian and how this human dared to enter their territory and not go even after they tried to chase him away, they tried many times to take him down but he was too slippery and now they have finally cornered him. Chapter 726 - Another Candidate With Julian cornered, the Wild Pokemon Pack were finally able to sigh in relief, this human in front of them was too swift and nimble for them, they couldn''tnd a single hit on him till now and some of them were getting tired as well. Julian felt the cold stares of this pack of pokemon, it was very clear that they want to hurt him very bad and with the situation he is in, it could have been a possibility if not for his body. ?? Julian "How, about we talk, all of you seem to be very intelligent, I don''t want to hurt any of you" Julian said while looking at these pokemon, they were smart pokemons and Julian had the capability to talk to them with his powers. When the pokemons heard Julian, they were able to understand him, it was a surprise to them but that didn''t matter, many pokemons could understand a few words and gestures their human partner made. To these pokemons it really didn''t matter if Julian is able to talk to them, they were not smart enough to realize how unique this really is, it was just a rare encounter for them in the wild. Julian "Why don''t you all just leave and don''t bother the people of White Forest, no need to be so aggressive at everyone you see" He said while scanning through the pack of pokemon top see if he can find any pokemon that he can catch and add to his team and soon he found the hidden gem he was looking for, a small pokemon that was hiding behind the legs of Mienshao, it was an Axew and not an ordinary one but actually a Shiny, its skin is greenish-yellow in color with a purple armor around its neck, its eyes are also purple in color. Like any other pokemon in this group, this Axew had great potential and it still hasn''t evolved, Julian could actually teach it a lot and it can be a formidable pokemon in Julian''s team. The Axew noticed Julian looking at ti and hid its head behind the Mienshao. The Bisharp, on the other hand, didn''t even think about Julian''s proposal and sted a Dark Pulse at Julian, this time Julian didn''t dodge it and just put his hand right in front of him and closed his fist as soon as the Dark Pulse touched his palm, he destroyed the Dark Pulse with his bare hand, even an Elite Level pokemon can''t do what Julian just did. Seeing this the pokemons were surprised, even the little Axew was astonished and looked at Julian with its big purple eyes, it always though that the Bisharp was very strong but now this human just destroyed one of its attacks, this was a huge blow to the reputation of the Bisharp. Being the strongest of them all, it was the pack leader and if it loses, its reputation will be tarnished, the Bisharp was mad and sted another Dark Pulse, this time it was much more powerful than before, this Bisharp was clearly very strong and can easily battle an Elite-Four level pokemon, the chances of it winning a battle against an Elite-Four level pokemon is slim but not impossible. Julian knew he cannot just stop this attack so he decided to punch it, Julian has always been growing, even though his growth rate is very slow, he is still growing strong, if this continues he might one day go head-on against a legendary pokemon. He pulled his right fist back and pushed straight at the Dark Pulse while infusing Omniforce in his hand, as soon as the Omniforce manifested, the pokemons around the area felt a little pressured, even though it was not directed at them, they still felt it. The Dark Pulse was punched and destroyed, it was turned into fine shining purple dust in the air. Bisharp was really mad after seeing that Julian was able to counter its move once again. Julian, on the other hand, was thinking about his own strength, with brute force alone he still cannot defeat a pokemon that is close to Elite-Four level but by infusing Omniforce he can take them on. Julian ''Still a long way to go, I still don''t understand what he wants'' Julian thought as he thought about that white space, Julian respected God but he also knew that there was more to it than it seemed, a God would not just help someone like Julian for nothing. He lost his interest in fighting the Bisharp, it was clearly very arrogant and didn''t want to listen to Julian, it may also be the reason why the other pokemons are here as well, it''s in a pokemon''s nature to follow the strong. Julian is now more interested in the Shiny Axew who is actually looking at him, this time not as scared as before, as Julian was distracted while looking at Axew, the Bisharp suddenly took its chance and charged at Julian while using Night sh but before it could even reach Julian, a white light shed and its attack was blocked by another pair of des. It was Garchomp, Julian released him as soon as Bisharp made a move, the Bisharp was stunned for a second as its arm felt numb as it shed against the ck Garchomp in front of it, it looked straight into Garchomp''s eye to feel its opponent but backed off as soon as possible. Its heart started to beat faster as it looked into Garchomp''s eyes, those eyes were not normal, it belonged to an Apex Predator and Bisharp is clearly not on the same level. Seeing that Bisharp backed down, some of the pokemons in the pack were displeased, Bisharp was supposed to be their leader and if a leader backs down, it is showing the sign of weakness and it was not appreciated by the pack. The little Axew, on the other hand, was inplete awe of the might ck Dragon that was standing in front of it, being of the same group, Dragon Pokemons have a spiritual link to each other, they either admire the other party who is stronger than them or be very hostile if they are on the same level as they need to determine who is the stronger among the two. In this case, it was very clear, the weak little Axew admired the powerful ck dragon that is Garchomp. Chapter 727 - ROAR The pack of pokemons is not happy with their leader''s action, it backed down after a single exchange showing signs of fear and they didn''t like it. They are the strongest pack of Pokemon in whole Unova, they have taken over several jungles for its resources to feed their growing appetite to seek strength but a single jungle is not enough for them all so they migrate through jungles for food. ?? They circle around the whole regions after eating up all the resources, once they are back to where they started from, the jungle would have already restored itself with new resources. It''s their leader''s job to im thesends for its pack and with that, it gets the benefit of getting everything first, it gets more food, morend, and more females to mate. Showing signs of weakness is the biggest mistake a leader of a pack can do in front of the pack. The pokemons in the pack looked at the Garchomp and felt everything was normal as Garchomp hasn''t still revealed the terrifying aura that is hidden inside him, some of the pokemons at the back started to get a little rowdy as they asked their leader, Bisharp to attack but Bisharp was not a fool. It knew that the Garchomp in front of it is a monster and it shouldn''t even think of having an exchange of moves with it, after thinking for a few seconds, it decided to take the best course of action, escape. With a sh, the Bisharp ran away from the ce leaving its pack behind, the pokemons were surprised by Bisharp''s action, they realized that it abandoned them and now it is up to them to do everything. The pokemons looked at each other and then at Garchomp, they knew that this one is very strong and that is why the Bisharp ran away, the responsibility of the leader is to fight off the opponent head-on and now that it couldn''t do it, it escaped. But this also made it possible for these pokemons to fight back, now they don''t have any pokemon as a leader, they can gang up on Garchomp and beat him down, then they can dispute among themselves on who will be the new leader of the pack. They all showed hostility towards Garchomp and defeat him and chase away the human that controls the Garchomp, little Axew didn''t know what to do, it was the weakest pokemon in the pack, it was a new member in the pack. The Bisharp asked it to join the pack as it saw that Axew was strong, the whole pack was formed with very strong pokemon and an addition of a new member will only strengthen the pack''s power and influence in the wild. Since little Axew was new to the pack, it didn''t have much loyalty to it, it didn''t care about fending off the pack, and being a dragon it only looked up to the strong and in its view, the ck Dragon Garchomp is clearly the strongest pokemon it has evere across. When Garchomp sensed the hostility of all these pokemons towards him, he decided to not hold back and roared loudly, his roar was so loud that the whole forest trembled, even the people living in the ck city were able to hear it. He released his overbearing aura and caused the whole pack to back down in fear, the pack of pokemon realized why Bisharp didn''t even think for a second to face of against this pokemon, it was because it was a monster at another level, even their whole groupbined can''t do anything to Garchomp. They all hesitated, they could feel the gaze of a predator scanning through them, no one wanted to make the first move, they were all very intimidated, their morale is now at an all-time low, seeing that the pack on pokemon has already given up, Garchomp was a little disappointed. Not wanting to waste his time with the weaklings, he decided to scare them away with another loud roar, this roar was even louder and horrifying than the one before, even the bird pokemons who were trying to pass through the forest stopped and made a U-turn not wanting to do anything with the thing that is inside the White Forest. The people living in White Forest were scared out of their mind as they heard the roar for the second time, this time it was even louder than before, the children in the vige started to cry after hearing the second roar, the first one had already terrified them. The pack of pokemons backed of scared, they didn''t want to do anything. Garchomp then growled at them and told them to get out of the forest, the pack of pokemons nodded and quickly disappeared into small groups and left the forest without even thinking for a second, the strong ones became the leader of their own small pack as weaker pokemons followed them out of the forest. The once-massive pack was notpletely destroyed turned into a small group of pokemons, the only pokemon that is remaining is the small Axew, it just looked at Garchomp with awe, it wanted to be just like Garchomp, a terrifying dragon that can scare its opponents away with just its roar. Julian had been watching Axew for quite a while and knew Garchomp made an impression on it, the reason why he sent out Garchomp in the first ce because he knew this would happen, he has been observing pokemons for quite a while and Dragon being his favorite typing, he studied their behavior. He knew how the young dragons looked up at a stronger pokemons and if that pokemons was another Dragon they would be in awe, even his Garchomp was like that when he was just a Gible. He remembered how the little Gible looked up to his father and the other Garchomp it was battling the day Julian caught him, he then admired Gengar after Gengar disyed powers beyond Gible''s imagination, he then saw how powerful Infernape and Snox are and that left a deep impression of Garchomp. It was not only his Garchomp, but even his Flygon was also the same, after he evolved into his final form and turned into a Dragon it admired, Infernape and Snox more than anyone. To a dragon, power is the most important thing in the world and the one who has overwhelming power can control them all. The little Axew was the same, Julian just had to show it what real power is like and it will take the bait. Chapter 728 - The Last Ruin The little Axew just stood there looking at Garchomp, Julian''s n was sessful, he used Garchomp to get Axew''s attention. Not that all the pokemons are gone Julian carefully looked at the shiny Axew, he could tell this one would be a big addition to his team, Haxorus, its final stage is known for their ridiculous attack stat, the power behind their attack is even stronger than a Garchomp on the same level, but they are still not pseudo legendary because theyck behind in other fields. ?? Their physical defense is good, their special defense is average, their special attack is below average, speed is decent and their durability/health is also average. The only thing they had over Garchomp or any other pseudo legendary pokemons in their attack stat, the rest of its stats are like any other pokemon, but Julian didn''t mind it, with its decent speed and good defense Julian should be able to dominate the battlefield with one of them in his team. Julian walked towards Axew and squatted to Axew''s level so he can talk with it, he also noticed that this one is a male as well. Julian "Do you want to be as strong as Garchomp?" He asked Axew. Axew looked at Julian and back at Garchomp, just like Garchomp wanted to be strong like Gengar when he was just a Gible, Axew wanted to be like Garchomp and nodded his head at Julian. Julian "Good, thene with me, you will meet new friends and make a new family and you will be strong like them" Julian said and took out a Pokeball and touched its tip on Axew''s head, the Pokeball opened and engulfed Axew with a red light, Axew got sent inside the Pokeball and it started to beep, after three continuous beeps, the Pokeball stopped shaking indicating that Axew has been sessfully captured. Julian smiled and got back to his feet and looked at Garchomp. Julian "He will be your responsibility in the future, you will guide him just like Tyranitar and others helped you be who you are today" Garchomp nodded excitedly, although Garchomp has grown up and matured a little, he is still a child in heart and soul, he is still not very oldpared to other strong Garchomps in the wild, they spent their lifetime reaching their stage while Julian''s Garchomp was trained by the best and give the best to be what he is. His mental age is still very young and with the possibility of a new junior who he will teach and looked up by made him excited. Julian "Now, let''s go and check out thest one" Julian said and sent Garchomp back to his Pokeball and looked at the ancient ruin that he came for, this one looks very different from the ones that are in ck City, this one is not massive nor pleasing to the eye like the ones in ck City. It looked like a small shrine made out of rocks and a metal gate, the walls of this ruin was covered in nts. Julian looked at the gate of the ancient ruin which was locked with a massive lock, the size of this lock was bigger than his head, but he was not surprised, the key he received from the vige elder was big as well. He walked towards the gate and opened the lock, it was a little rusty but he tried not to put too much pressure on the key and brake its teeth, the lock suddenly snapped open and revealed the inside of the ruin. It was very dark and only the entrance was visible as sunlight entered through the gate, Julian tapped his shirt pocket and called out Crystal, Crystal popped its head out and looked around to see what''s going on, it had heard Garchomp roar before but it was toozy to take a look. It will onlye out of Julian''s pocket when there is the smell of delicious food or when Julian calls for it, it is slowly turning into a little Snox, not growing fat but following Snox''s method of sleeping and eating all day and Julian can do nothing about it. Crystal looked at Julian in confusion as it was only darkness that it could see. Julian "Light it up, there is something exciting inside" Crystal got excited and floated up and sat on Julian''s shoulder and lighted up the area with fire from its tiny hands, Julian was finally able to see what it was like inside this small shrine-like ruin. He saw some torches stuck to the wall and instructed Crystal to light them up, Crystal quickly lighted them all up as if it is a game, within seconds the whole ce was now lit up with lighting from the torches stuck on the wall. Julian walked down the path and finally noticed something, the end of the path was not actually a dead end with a map like other ruins he saw in the ck city, but he found somethingpletely different. It was like a small garden with a big tree right in the middle, and on top of that, this tree seems to have pierced through a massive rock and grew this big, this tree is white in color, it''s not very bigpared to other trees in the forest but its trunk is very thick, three times the size of any tree in the forest. The top of this ce is open so the sunlight is shining very brightly on top of this tree, Julian wondered why this ruin is different from the ones in the ck City, what is so special about it or is it just a coincidence. If all these ruins were made by the same person, they should have a reason to create this one very different from the other, As he was thinking about something, he suddenly heard a humming sounding from behind the tree. Chapter 729 - Helping The Injured ........... As Julian heard this melody, his heartbeat started to calm down and his head felt light, any negative thought that was in his mind started to disappear as this melody chimed through the air and into Julian''s ears. Only Crystal seemed to be immune to this melody because it never harbored any negative thought inside its head and soul, it is a free spirit and when it heard this melody it started to sway left and right as it boosted its happiness. ?? Julian wondered who was making this melody and walked towards the tree and looked at the other side of it and he was surprised by what he saw, he saw two pokemons that he never imagined he would see in the same ce. Both of these pokemons are mythical pokemons and they wouldn''t explode themselves to anyone so easily. These two pokemons are Meloetta and Celebi, Julian never expected to see both of them in the same ce at the same time. When Julian walked in Meloetta got startled and suddenly took an aggressive stance to counter back if Julian tried anything. Julian didn''t take a step forward as he saw that Meloetta was hostile towards him, the melody stopped when Meloetta noticed him, he then looked at the Celebi and frowned, it seems to be injured, its wounds are deep and it also seems to have a fever. Julian knew Celebi''s are powerful pokemons, they are as mysterious as Mews and they have the ability to travel through time itself, they are also regarded as the god of the forest as sometimes they can be spotted in the thick dense forest ying with other pokemons. Julian remembered the Vige Elder saying that this ce is actually used as Celebi''s shrine by them as they pray for the forest''s long lifespan. Julian looks at Meloetta and tries to prove that he is not hostile, he shows no sign of hostility towards it and at the same time release Omniforce from his body so that Meloetta calms down. As Meloetta sensed this unique energying from Julian it stopped behind hostile towards him, this aura was very shooting and it hade in contact with this aura before, its friend Celebi was also surrounded by it. It thought that Julian is somehow rted to its friend Celebi. Seeing that Meloetta was no longer hostile, Julian approached the injured Celebi and kneeled down, Meloetta also came close and started to sing again, the beautiful and serene sound filled the whole garden and the Celebi who seems to be suffering showed some calmness on its face. Meloetta had to power to control the feelings of people and pokemon who hears its voice, it was helping its friend calm down and reduce its feeling of pain. Julian put his hand on Celebi''s forehead and realized that it was burning hot, Celebi has a high fever, he checked on its body and found some deep wounds, something attacked it and put it in such state. He wondered what could have done this to Celebi, it was clearly not weak, it must have encountered another strong mythical or legendary or a pseudo legendary pokemon. Crystal looked at the injured Celebi and felt sad, it could feel the same aura around Celebi, it senses around Julian but the one Celebi has is very diluted and not pure like the one around Julian. It floats down and sits down next to Celebi and touches its forehead with its tiny hand, Meloetta looks at Crystal in surprise, at first it thought it was a Mew but it soon saw that this one is different from any Mew it has seen before, this one is very small, has two tails and a red crystal in the middle of its forehead. Julian "Crystal, use Heal Pulse in Psychic form" Crystal nods and suddenly a pinkish-purple auraes out of its crystal and surrounds its body and it turns into Psychic-type, Crystal can use Heal Pulse without turning into a Psychic-type but the effect will be lesserpared to when it is Psychic typing, it is the same with any other move Crystal uses. If it uses a move that is simr to its current typing, the move''s effect is much more potent and effective. The Heal Pulse came out of Crystal''s hand and slowly touched Celebi, the deep wound on its body started to close up at a very rapid pace, Crystal was way stronger than this Celebi so its move also had more effect than normal. Soon the temperature also started to go down, Meloetta was surprised by this but also happy, it looked at Crystal and thanked it happily, Crystal also nodded its head with a smile on its face, this is a very wholesome moment so Julian didn''t interfere. Crystal was making another friend so he didn''t bother, the Celebi soon opened its eyes and the first this it saw is a pair of red eyes looking at it, it blinked and looking again to see a small Mew in front of it, at first it was surprised and fully opened its eyes to find out that this is not a Mew. Celebi and Mew have a very deep connection with each other as both of them live inside deep dense forests, they share many habits as well, like ying with pokemons of the forest and mainly the Omniforce which is the cause of their existence itself. Celebi noticed that this weird Mew hybrid had a very dense concentration of Omniforce around it, even thicker than any Mew it is friends with or has met. Chapter 730 - Family? Most of Celebi''s injury waspletely healed and its body defense soon kicked in and it started to recover itself on its own, Crystal didn''t have to use Heal Pulse any more. Celebi floated up in the air and looked at Crystal with confusion, it didn''t understand why this Mew like pokemon felt so familiar yet so different, it was as if it didn''t belong in this world at all. ?? Being a pokemon that knows about the existence of an unknown force that is everywhere and being exposed to it every time while traveling through time, Celebi could easily identify its presence, it has no doubt that this little Mew looking pokemon is surrounded by it but what is even more shocking to Celebi is the amount of this unknown force that surrounds this little pokemon. It is equal to Dialga that it has met several times while traveling through time, this was new to Celebi, this unknown force is the reason for its existence, without it Celebi is just a normal pokemon so it felt a deep connection to Crystal. Celebi also noticed a stream of this unknown force liked to Crystal, it turned its head to see a human looking at it with a smile on his face, Celebi is shocked and surprised, it could sense it. The enormous amount of the unknown force stored inside this human''s body, with so much force stored inside Julian''s body, Celebi though that he would explode for a second but it then noticed that Julian''s body was very normal and it didn''t explode. Celebi felt an even deeper connection to Julian that Crystal, unlike Crystal who borrowed Julian''s Omniforce, his body is a vessel that attracts and stores it, meaning his body contains the purest of it, not even Crystal can do so, the only one closest to Julian is his Infernape who also has a body made by God, even though it''s not as good as Julian''s, it''s still God-made. Celebi got close to Julian and looked him in the eyes with a big smile on its face. Since it felt very close to Julian, it felt as if Julian is its family, it then grabbed onto Julian''s face and nuzzled him. Crystal who saw this got very jealous and suddenly shot a lightning strike at Celebi, Celebi felt iting and dodged it, looking surprised at Crystal. Crystal then approached Julian and did the same thing Celebi did and showed its little tongue to Celebi as if saying Julian is its. Julianughed seeing this, Crystal is his little baby and just like any little baby it got jealous when someone showed too much affection to Julian, sometimes it even tired to chase away Infernape who is the closes to Julian as it felt jealous of him and Julian''s rtionship. Julian "Crystal, you shouldn''t do that, Celebi is a friend, now be friends, ok?" Julian patted Crystal lightly and told it to be nice to Celebi, Celebi approached once again and this time Crystal didn''tsh out, instead, it greeted Celebi happily and after a second they became fast friends. Julian knew this would happen, Crystal forgets about things very quickly, it even forgot that it attacked Celebi just a second ago, Celebi and Crystal then joined Meloetta as they started to y, Julian looked around to see if he can find thest piece of the map. After looking around the garden he didn''t find anything that stood out, he looked back at the trio of pokemons who started to y around the garden and decided to release his other pokemons as well and let then y here for a while. As he released his pokemons, the trio noticed them and approached them, just like Julian, Celebi was attracted to Infernape as well as it sensed the Omniforce in his mes and became very excited, it didn''t expect it would meet two pokemon and a person who shares the same force like it. Julian''s pokemons soon got amodated with the environment and started to y around, Snox as usually is sleeping with no worries in the world as Crystal and its new friends are use his belly as a trampoline, Infernape, as usual, is looking after Julian''s pokemon so they don''t cause any trouble, he is clearly the responsible elder brother of the group, Gengar is also back to his shenanigans and joined Crystal and its little group to y a prank on Julian''s other pokemons. The garden is now filled with his pokemon''s voices as they goof around, Julian didn''t bother with them anymore and started to search for thest piece of the map, unlike the other ones in ck City, this piece of the map is not in the open so he had to carefully look around. Even after looking around for a while, he couldn''t find it, he checked every nook and cranny of this ce but it was no luck. He checked the giant tree to see if there are any markings on it but no, the only thing he found here are some intense sticks and leftover food, it was clearly left here by the vigers in the forest for Celebi as it is their god. Julian wondered where thest piece could be, he wondered what he is really missing, he took out his phone to cross-check the other maps to see if he can find any clue from them as they are the only thing connected to this ce. As Julian was looking through his phone, it caught the attention of Celebi, it is tired after chasing around Crystal all over the garden, no matter how hard it tried it couldn''t catch Crystal at all, Crystal was too fast and nimble for it. Celebi wanted to rest next to Julian because he gave off a very calm aura and he felt like someone very close to Celebi, Celebi and its friends approached Julian, Crystal sat on his right shoulder while Celebi on his left, he smiled at then and continued to look at the maps to see if he could find anything else. Meloetta also joined in and imed on top of his head and looked at his phone, as Julian went through the pictures of the map, Celebi and Meloetta looked at each other and back at the phone, they realized that they have seen a thing simr to these maps on Julian''s phone. Celebi suddenly poked Julian and signaled him, Julian looked at Celebi in confusion, Celebi suddenly took flight and went high up in the sky and pointed at the ground for Julian. It was saying him to look from the top, Julian realized what it was saying and suddenly got curious, he got on his feet and jumped up very high, he easily reached the height where Celebi is and looked down and was surprised by what he saw. Julian "The Garden itself is the map" He said excitedly, at first he thought that the map must be hidden somewhere, he never thought that the garden itself was thest part of the map and therge tree in the middle acted like an X mark that can be found on any treasure maps. Chapter 731 - Acquiring The Last Piece Of Map Julian started to fall down as gravity started to do its job, once he was down, he jumped up high again, this time ready with his camera turned on, as he reached the highest point, he quickly took the picture and with this he acquired thest part of the map. He looked at the new map and saw that the tree is marking the X spot, this should be the ce where the Kyurem is hidden, this map is very different from the modern Unova so Julian needs to cross-reference them and now is not the right time. ?? He decided to look into it after he gets out of ck City and reaches Unde Town which is his next destination. Julian also decided to take some rest before he heads back to the Vige Elder and tell her about the current situation and that they are free toe back and start doing their prayer once again. After an hour or so, Julian decided to leave, Celebi seems to be against Julian leaving as it got really attached to him, Julian didn''t know what to do, even though the thought of capturing Celebi was very inviting he couldn''t do it, the people of this forest and the forest itself dependent on it. And this Celebi also seems to have reached a level where Julian won''t be able to teach it any new things, Julian really wanted to capture Celebi and even Meloetta but he couldn''t, he cannot be selfish here, these pokemons have lived their whole life here in this forest and taking them away from here is not doing justice for either Celebi and Meloetta but also the forest. After bidding his farewell to Celebi and Meloetta, Julian went back to the little vige that is inside the White Forest, he noticed that Celebi and Meloetta stilled followed him even after they said their goodbyes. Julian could only sigh, it was ok since this is still there territory, he is certain that they will note following him after Julian walks out of the forest. When he returned back to the vige, the vige elder was surprised seeing him without any bruise or injury on him, people who went before Julian were badly injured by the wild pokemon so this came as a big surprise to her. Julian walked towards her and handed her the key to the shrine. Julian "It''s done, those pokemons won''t bother the people and pokemon of this forest ever again" He said with a smile on his face but she couldn''t see it behind the mask. Hearing his answer the Vige Elder was surprised, she didn''t expect Julian to actually seed but she is d that he seeded. Vige Elder "That roars from before? What happened?" She asked. That roar from before shook everyone in the vige, the children were scared out of their mind and started to cry when they heard it, it was very scary, the people and the pokemon in the vige thought that a monster just woke up. Julian "Oh, that, my Garchomp roared and scared those wild pokemons away" Julian didn''t lie, he didn''t think he needs to hide such things, it is up to the vige elder to believe it if she wants. The Vige Elder didn''t know what to say, to im that his pokemon scared those nasty pokemons away with just a roar was too much, but that roar was indeed very terrifying, it was heard all over the forest. There was no other exnation for this situation so the Vige Elder decided to believe Julian, she would send few men towards the ancient shrine to check out if Julian is saying the truth or not. If he is lying there is no difference to the current situation at all, and if he is saying the truth then they will be able to start worshiping their god again, which is Celebi. Little did the Vige Elder know that their god was actually watching her right now, too bad she couldn''t see it. The Vige Elder thanked him. Viger Elder "Did you get what you came for?" She asked wondering if Julian found the thing that is hidden inside the ancient ruin which is their shire for Celebi, she knew that the ce hides something but she never knew what it was, from the legends she heard from her elders, the shrine hides something that leads to a very dangerous thing. The Vige Elder decided to not look into it after that, even though she was curious and tried to find it after it got into her head, she couldn''t find it no matter how many times she looked around the ce and finally gave up. Julian "Yes, I did" Vige Elder "Can you tell me what it is?" She asked. Julian "A map! Do you want to know what this map leads to?" He answered first and then asked the question. Viger Elder "No need, I don''t want to bring any trouble to our little vige, we have lived separated from the outside world for such a long time and I think we should continue doing so, I hope whatever you are searching for, you acquire it and thank you for helping our little vige" She said and bowed her head to say her thanks. Julian "No need, you helped me as well, so I will be leaving now!" He bid his final farewell to the vige elder and the little children that weed him into the vige. Chapter 732 - Destination - Undella Town! As Julian was about to walk out of the White Forest, Celebi and Meloetta appeared once again, for the time Celebi spent with Julian and his pokemons, it got very attached to them, especially Julian, Crystal and Infernape due to the energy source they share. Julian looked at Celebi who looked sad about Julian leaving but Julian also knew that Celebi cannot follow him, if it could it would have done it without even thinking for a second. ?? Julian "Don''t worry, we wille back to visit you" Julian said and patted Celebi on the head, he also patted Meloetta''s head and told Crystal to say itsst farewell to its new friends. Crystal didn''t seem to mind at all, it happily bid its farewell to Celebi, Crystal didn''t seem to understand why Celebi was sad but it tried its best to cheer it up, with their final goodbyes, Julian and Crystal left White Forest for good. Julian returned back to ck City, nothing changed during the time he was gone, he did hear some people talk about the roar they heard a few hours agoing from White Forest, soon the rumors of a very dangerous pokemon roaming around White Forest started to spread in the ck city. Julian didn''t know what to do and decided to ignore it, he wants to get of this city but before that, he visited the noodle shop again to have onest taste before he leaves. After having a full bole of noodles Julian got ready to leave, he got his stuff from the hotel and left ck City, there was nothing here to do anyway, and since he found the map he wanted to check if he can really find Kyurem. With the map in his hand, it was not an impossible task. Julian''s next stop is Unde Town, he especially remembered this town''s name because his girlfriend Cynthia talked about it a lot, she said that shees to visit this town during summer and spring to spend her holidays. And since spring is very close Julian wonders if Cynthia wille here, he missed her a lot along with Daisy and Chloe, he is just waiting for the production of the teleportation devices so that the can visit them whenever he wants. Sitting on his bike, he rode off to the horizon while looking at the beautiful orange sky and the setting sun that looked massive. It was about to be night and Julian has been riding for two hours now and decided to camp down in an open grasnd he found near a hillside, with the clear view of the start sky this was clearly the best ce to camp for tonight. Julian first released his pokemons and then started to set up the camp, all of his pokemons helped him to set up the camp very quickly as each of them had a task to perform assigned by Julian, it was over in five minutes. After that Julian gave them their dinner and let them y around, as heid on the grass and looked at the clear sky filled with stars he started to think about his life, first, he thought about his age, he who lived like an old man was young again, the body of a young adult was something elsepared to the loose and weak old body that he used to live in. He thought about how his mindset changed, even though his soul is old, his body and mind isn''t at all, his feelings are like any other young adult, he sometimes acts like them as well, the only thing holding him back is the memories of his old life, if they didn''t exist, Julian would be just like any other young man, he the wondered about his grandson that he totally forgot aftering to this world, he wondered how he is doing. Julian chuckled at the thought of having an actual grandson, with how his current mindset is, it felt weird to him, if it was his old self he wouldn''t have felt that but now that he thinks about it, it feels weird to him, his grandson only being a few years younger than him. Seeing Julian chuckle Crystal to curious and sat down on his forehead and looked into his eyes, he could feel what Crystal was asking, just like Infernape, Crystal didn''t even need to talk to him and Julian could tell what the little mink is thinking. Julian "It''s nothing, you should go and y" After sending Crystal back to ying with its friends, Julian looked back at the endless sky and wondered what more is out there, and will he ever be able to see all of them, will this journey of his ever end. When he really thought about it, this body of his was too much, he didn''t need to to survive in this world of pokemon but God still gave it to him, it was clear to Julian that God wants more from him and for now he is just watching him in silence as Julian experience his new life. Julian "I wonder how many unique pokemons are other there in this endless universe?" He thought and closed his eyes and soon dozed off right outside the tent. Chapter 733 - A New Member As Julian slept peacefully for hours, the light of the day brake hit his face causing his to open his eyes, he looked up and saw dark blue sky with a hue of orange in the horizon, the sun is rising. Julian got up and found a nket on top of him, he looked around and saw all of his pokemons sleeping around him peacefully. ?? Julian "They must have done this" He said and looked at the tent he set up yesterday and sighed, he looked on hisp and saw Crystal sleeping peacefully while exposing its tiny belly towards Julian, he felt like poking it but restrained himself, if he wakes up Crystal now, it would annoy him for hours before finally going back to sleep. He slowly picked up Crystal and put it into its usual resting ce, his front pocket, he got up and started to clean up everything, the empty dinner bowls, the table, and the tent, his pokemons also soon got up and saw Julian tiding up, the first one was Infernape followed by others, they helped Julian picking up everything and putting it back into his dimensions pouch. Julian picked up thest bowl and was about to ce it inside his pouch as he noticed something, he got excited and quickly pulled out the egg incubator quickly. The Volcarona egg inside the incubator is shing a lot, it was clear that it is about to hatch, Julian removed the lid off the incubator and put the dragon stone that was kept next to the egg away, he had left it inside with the egg so that it can continue developing with the help of the fire source inside the stone. Seeing Julian pull out the egg, his other pokemons also got curious about the egg and joined in, little Axew who is new to the team is still nervous around Julian''s other pokemons and the current batch he is supposed to be in seemed way strongerpared to him. The only one he could rte to was Karrast as Karrast is still smaller than him, Julian noticed Axew''s hesitation and beckoned him, he had introduced Axew to his group yesterday and all of his pokemon weed Axew with open arms but Axew was very shy, Julian realized that his new pokemon is a little shypared to his other pokemons from Unova, Darumaka is careless and doesn''t care about anything else than explosions, His Gigalith is the prideful one of the group, Excadrill is a brute in nature and reckless, Karrast is very calm in every situation and now his Axew, the shy one, he seems to be hesitating to warm up with others. The only one he isfortable is with Crystal, Victini, and Garchomp, thetter being his role model and the first two not looking so scary and intimidating at first nce. Now that a new member is about to join the group, it might benefit Axew to start from the beginning and get along with the pokemon that is just about to hatch. Seeing Julian is calling him, Axew walked forward and looked at the glowing egg with wide eyes, it is seeing an egg hatching for the first time in his life and this was pretty exciting, Crystal and Victini also jumped in and got very curious. This egg has been with Julian for quite a while now and every one of them was waiting for it to hatch and now the time hase. As Julian was watching the egg, he suddenly felt something sitting on top of his head, he noticed that all of his pokemons were in front of him so he wondered who could it be that is sitting on top of his head. He reached out and grabbed a small squishy thing on top of his head, as he brought it to his eye level he realized that it was Celebi, the same one from White Forest. He was surprised to see this little one here, he didn''t expect it toe all over here looking for him and that too outside the White forest. Julian "What are you doing here?" Julian asked in surprise. Celebi "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" It cheered happily with its arms up in the air, Julian understood and smiled at it, it didn''t leave the forest, it was still its home but that didn''t mean it could leave the forest and give Julian a visit wherever he is in the world. It is just like that time when Julian was followed by Mew when he was in Kanto, he wondered what that little fe is doing right now, maybe ying with its friends around that mysterious tree. Julian put Celebi back on top of his head and watched as the egg started to shake, soon cracks appeared on the egg and mes seeped out of them, the egg finally shattered with a burst of mes spewing out and the pokemon inside has finallye to this world. A Larvesta, a bug pokemon with white fur and five little undeveloped wings around its thorax that is covered with its white fur, it has six little legs and very deep blue eyes. Larvesta looked at Julian as he is the first person that it saw as soon as it came out of the egg, being the first person to appear in front of it and the aura around Julian caused Larvesta to ease up to Julian very easily. Julian lifted the little newborn pokemons and realized that this one is a male as well, this time all of his Unova pokemons are male, well it was not something special because all of his Kanto pokemons were male as well. Julian "Wee to the world Larvesta" Julian said and patted its fur softly, Julian''s other pokemons got excited along with Celebi, all of them wanted to greet themselves to Larvesta, the newest member of their family. Julian decided to start of with Axew and then to his other pokemons, being a newborn Larvesta doesn''t know what is good and what is bad, what is cute and what is terrifying so even the most terrifying of Julian''s pokemon were not a concern for Larvesta and he got close to them very quickly. Especially the fire type ones and Karrast being the only other bug in the group. Chapter 734 - Undella Town With a new member in the team, things started to settle down as well, Larvesta being just a baby, for now, got along with the faces he sees every day, Axew also started to get close to his new friends as well. In the case of Axew, Julian began his training as soon as possible as Axew was very close to evolving actually, Julian found him at the right time, if he had evolved before Julian found him things could have been a little though for him. ?? Julian gave Axew an Everstone and tied it around his arm so that he won''t evolve, for now, Julian ns to improve Axew''s move usage and power maniption before he is ready to evolve, once the Everstone is removed, Axew will be able to evolve. On his way to Unde town, Julian took make brakes and during these brakes, he would train Axew, as for Larvesta, he just let him sit in the side for a few days, going right into training after being born is not idle for any pokemon. Julian could feed it nutritious food for it to reach a certain level before he starts to train Larvesta, being a bug type pokemon, Larvesta can gain strength very fast but Julian knows it will still be a very long process. Just like his Darmanitan and Excadrill, Larvesta also has only two stages of evolution, its first stage which it is currently in and its second stage, the Volcarona, Julian has read many articles about these pokemons after he got the egg and he read that they take very long to evolve, even though they be powerful very fast, their evolution is far from reach. Julian believes that his Larvesta will evolve once he finishes all his gym challenges, he also read that the reason why they take so long to evolve is that they don''t reach their limits as early as other pokemons and continue to keep growing strong. Julian has also seen videos of Larvesta taking down pokemons that are massive in size and are in their final form. With only a few days of training, Julian already started to see improvements in Axew, it was clear that Axew will be one of the main powerhouses in his Unova team, he might even surpass Darmanitan in pure physical strength once he reaches his final evolution state. ____________________ After a few more days of riding and training, Julian finally arrived near Unde Town, from far away this town looks very bigpared to other towns Julian has seen before during his journey throughout the regions, the size of this town can easily bepared to a small city. During the days he was riding, his team had grown, Axew has just started to train under Julian and getting advice from Garchomp, he will soon be able to catch up to Karrast in terms of strength and with the Everstone attached to him, Julian doesn''t need to worry about Axew evolving immaturely. Larvesta on the other hand surprise Julian very much, even though he has tiny legs he can move around very fast, his speed was average ifpared to any pokemon out there but with its tiny legs, it was a huge feat to pull off. And Larvesta seems to be growing strong already, with the food he got from Julian, he started to grow, being a bug type had its advantages, within few days he will be able to join his other friends in the training camp to be stronger. Right now he is the weakest as he is a just born baby but that may not be the case in the future as Larvesta''s potential was massive, it overshadowed everyone in Julian''s Unova''s team. _____________________ Julian "Finally here" He said and twisted the throttle on his bike and rode towards the town, this town is one of the oldest preserved towns in Unova, as most of its monuments are still intact and has survived the test of time. Many rich peoplee here to spend their vacation as this town offers them peace and quiet and most importantly an escape from the loud busy life of the city, Julian actually ns to buy a mansion here for himself and his girlfriends as well. Cynthia told him that this is her favorite ce toe on her vacation, Daisy and Chloe are also very busy and travel around different regions so they mighte here to Unova and spend their days here than staying in some hotel. He entered Unde Town and looked around, just like he expected, this town is filled with old buildings but they are not weak at all, their structure is strong and their walls are covered with beautiful carvings, this city is old and so are its buildings but that didn''t mean the people who live here are old fashioned. There is everything in the city, from fast inte to advance machines, Julian first decided to rent himself a room before he starts to look around the town and find someone. The hotels here are all old luxury mansions, Julian quickly got himself a room in the biggest hotel in the town, this is the only seven-star hotel in Unova so Julian wanted to see how this is actually like living here. Chapter 735 - Receptionist As Julian entered the very expensive hotel that seemed like it belonged to the kings of the past, as he looked around he saw the whole entrance and the main hall is lit up in a golden light, its because the floor is made of white marble and the pirs and walls of the main hall are filled with mirrors which are reflecting the yellowish golden light from the massive chandelier on the top. Julian was impressed by this, this was his first time in such a beautiful hotel, the more he looked the more he realized that this ce was actually a pce before it was turned into this beautiful hotel. ?? He was d that they didn''t try to change the structure of this ce while renovating it or it would have taken away the beauty of the pce. Julian walked towards the receptionist who is standing behind the reception area, the receptionist standing here is very beautiful,parable to his girlfriends, he wondered why would such a beautiful girl work as a receptionist. Julian ''Maybe the pay is very high'' He thought and approached her, the receptionist saw a young man walking towards her, she checked him out and looked at the clothes he is wearing, they looked dirty, his shoes have dirt on it and his hair is a little messy, but she was not so quick to judge, even though the clothes were dirty they are branded, she, of course, couldn''t see his face because of the mask but those red eyes did charm her. Receptionist ''He looks like someone who traveled for a long time, his clothes indicate that he has money but these brands are not too expensive either, he either thinks he has enough money to get a room here or is actually visiting someone'' She already came up with a scenario but she didn''t act on it, she knows that in business like this she cannot act recklessly and ignore someone, even if a beggar walks in, she has to be respectful and ask them what they need beforeing up to a decision. Julian noticed that the receptionist is looking at him and trying to study him, he didn''t mind it at all, instead, he wanted to know what she actually thought about him after absorbing him. Julian stood right in front of her and looked her into her eyes. Julian "So what do you think?" He asked. Receptionist "Excuse me?" Julian "I noticed you were observing me, so what''s your first opinion of me" Receptionist "Sir....." The receptionist is stunned, she didn''t expect this young man toe at her just like that, she didn''t expect him to catch her observing him and the aura he gave off was very oppressive and her heart started to beat faster. Julian "No need to feel pressured, just tell me what was your first impression and no lying" The receptionist felt like she needs to answer Julian even though she didn''t want to, his presence was just too much for her and she finally gave in. She told Julian how she felt when he first walked in, after listening to her Julian is a little surprised, he didn''t expect this receptionist to be so good at observing, Julian was in search for talents and this woman could be a good candidate for his new little faction that he has created. The Omni Guardian is still a very small group and they don''t hold to much power in the world, he needs someone to look after them so Julian has been searching, this young woman in front of him can be a good candidate but he won''t jump in, he decided to watch her for now. Julian "I see, you are really good, how long have you been working here?" Receptionist "I just started working here, I wanted to be a detective but my family needed money and working here paid a lot more so I joined here" As the receptionist gave her an answer she was surprised by her answer as well, she didn''t know why she revealed her personal life to this strange man who hasn''t even shown his face or revealed his name to her. Julian is also surprised. She wanted to be a detective but decided to work as a receptionist for a seven-star hotel because the pay was much better than a detective, he understands her situation, unlike him, she doesn''t seem to have any connection totch on and have an easy life. Julian "I see, here you go, I want a room for a few days" Julian said and passed his ID to her. The receptionist became a little submissive in front of Julian, she couldn''t look him in his eyes as she felt very vulnerable, she felt as if Julian can see right through her. She looked at his ID and was stunned, she couldn''t believe what she was seeing right now, this ID in her hand belongs to the Julian, the strongest pokemon trainer, she looked back at Julian and looked him in his eyes, a little excited as her heart started to beat a lot faster than before. Which young woman in their teens and early twenties didn''t have a crush on Julian, even women in their 30s wanted to be with him, and now the same Julian is standing right before her, she didn''t know what to do. Julian "What''s your name?" Julian asked. Receptionist "Sasha ke" She answered nervously, she didn''t know what Julian wants, she even started to have some wild fantasies running through her mind as he felt her legs go weak a little, she quickly got rid of the thoughts and looked at Julian while blushing. Julian "Hmm, nice name, are you willing to leave this job if you get good ie and do things that are simr to detective work?" He asked. Sasha was surprised by the question but she didn''t even think for a second before nodding her head, she always wanted to be a detective but then she realized that deceptive work doesn''t pay much and she needs to take care of her family which is actually very big, she has a mother, father, grandma, grandpa, and five younger siblings. Her father''s work didn''t pay much and their family struggled a lot for Sasha to get her education, seeing her parents struggle to earn money and take care of such a big family, she gave up on her dreams and decided to take the receptionist job. With her looks, the hotel owner didn''t even think for a second before assigning her the job, who wouldn''t want to be greeted by a very beautifuldy. If the money is good and enough for her family, she would really want to do work simr to a detective''s work. Julian "I see, I will be keeping my eyes on you, if I think you are qualified, you will get a special job" Sasha was very excited once she heard Julian, now she really wanted to impress Julian no matter what, she quickly put his name in the database and gave him the most luxuries room in the room with a discount on top of that. Julian smiled and nodded at her and took the key and walked away, even though Sasha couldn''t see Julian''s smile she knew he smiled at her as she watched his eyes. Chapter 736 - Elite Four VS Elite Four After getting himself the key card to his room from Sasha, he walked into the very expensive looking door that seems to be ted with real gold, it is actually an elevator. Julian was surprised by how much money the owner of this hotel wasted to renovate this pce into a luxury hotel. ?? The inside of this elevator was also very beautifully decorated with golden light lighting up the whole elevator and the mirrors reflecting it, he looked down and saw that the floor is made of very expensive marble which reflected his image. He shook his head and waited for the elevator to reach the third floor, yes this hotel only had three floors, unlike other hotels which are long and reach the hight of skyscrapers, this one is very wide and covered arge area ofnd. As he entered the third floor he was greeted by a red carpet, the whole hall was covered with it, the walls were beautifully decorated, he saw mini cleaning robots moving around the hall keeping the carpets very clean. He quickly found his room and entered, once again the luxury that this ce provided was too much for Julian, he was not used to living in a ce like this, the hotels he has been in before were beautifully and well designed but they all paled inparison to this room, the hall is huge and a massive chandelier hung on top, the chandelier had ruby stones fitted to them as they refracted the lighting from the center, he walked around the room and found a massive bathroom filled with everything that is needed to clean after on self. The bathroom itself has a massive TV on the wall so that people can still do their shit and continue getting their entertainment, it seems that all the TV were connected as well so people can''t miss their shows if they moved from one ce to another, after looking around for a while, Julian finally gave up and jumped on the bed. This room had too much for him to explore alone. Now that he is here he wants to see what this town has to offer, this is the only town in Unova that still has preserved its monuments and ancient figures to this day and he might find some more interesting things here. After resting for a while Julian cleaned after himself and left the hotel to look around the town. Since this town is so rich in history and structure he should find many interesting things, as he walked around the town he found many things the caught his interest, there were some old live theaters with live actors telling unique and real stories through their acting, he also found many modern-day kinds of stuff as well, like inte cafe and game stores which was packed with young teenagers to men in their 30s. This town was clearly very impressive, he then found himself in front of a mall and was surprised by the poster hung on the wall of the mall, it had Caitlin''s poster on it and she seems to be having an exhibition battle against Shauntal who is another member of the Unova''s Elite-Four. Julian now got curious, he wanted to know why these two are here and he is also interested in their battle, in paper Shauntal has an advantage over Catilin because Caitlin is a Psychic-type user and Shauntal is a Ghost-type user. But these things didn''t matter, he has looked into the Elite-Four of Unova and he is actually very impressed by all of them, all of them are very equal when ites to power, their ranking was based on the numbers of wins in their record and Caitlin has the most of them while Shauntal has the leastpared to the others. But in Unova, the elite four rankings is very vague and the person on the top spot may not be the best of them, the four are very equally bnced and have an advantage over the other, while Shauntal has an advantage against Caitlin she will have trouble against Grimsley who is a Dark-type user and he has a disadvantage against Marshal who has trouble against Caitlin. All of theme together and maintain a perfect bnce, but on record, Caitlin still holds the best record and she has more than one win over other Elite-Four members and vice versa. Julian looked into Shauntal and Caitlin''s matches and found that they have battled each other on an official stage 7 times and Shauntal holds an extra win over Caitlin with a 4-3 and this time Caitlin wants to level that score. He also realized that this is actually Caitlin''s hometown as well so she should have a lot of fans supporting her. Julian decided to book a ticket for himself for this event which is tomorrow. After looking around for a few hours he returned back, as he walked into the hotel, Sasha greeted him and asked if he wants something to eat, seeing that Sasha is willing to work for him, he decided to test her more and how much she really is dedicated to joining under Julian. Julian "Good,e to my room after an hour and bring some food with you, anything is ok" He said and walked away, Sasha seems to be a bit embarrassed as she started to think about weird stuff again, she quickly got rid of them and headed to the kitchen to prepare somethings to eat for Julian. Chapter 737 - You Are Selected Julian entered his room and took a quick nap, he didn''t even realize as an hour passed and he heard his doorbell ring, Julian got up and realized that he had asked Sasha to bring him something to eat. He wanted to see if she herself wille and bring him or will she send someone else, he got up from his bed and headed towards the door and opened it, as he opened the door, he saw Sasha standing there waiting for Julian, she seems to be a little shy as she came alone here. ?? She didn''t know what Julian wanted from her. Julian "Get in" He saw Sasha and asked her to get in, Sasha nodded her head and pushed the food trolley into his room, he walked towards the table next to the sofa and started to ce down the food she chose, since Julian told her to pick the dishes for him, she was really nervous about it. She wondered if he would like it or not. Julian sat down on the sofa and quietly watched Sasha, he watched her behavior and how she handles herself, he could tell she was nervous because her heart was beating very fast but she didn''t show it on her face, this was a good point in her favor. She showed him that even if she was under pressure she can still manage herself without giving in to the other party. While Julian watched how she behaved, he also looked at her figure, being a man how could he just let the opportunity pass, he looked at her curvy figure and was impressed, her tight skirt helped her butt lift up and make it even more appealing to Julian. She also has a nice pair of breasts which is not as big as Chloe''s but bigger than Cynthia''s, Julian started to feel a little down there as his sexual drive is more than a normal person but he contained it, he started to think about ugly old people and dead smelly corpse to get rid of his sexual desire. He couldn''t just pounce on any woman because he had promised all his girlfriends that he would tell them before taking someone and they will have to give it a pass. Sasha was really an attractive woman and if he didn''t have any girlfriends Julian would definitely hit on her, Julian decided to wait and see how it goes, he looked at Sasha carefully, she is 167 cm tall, has a very good figure showing that she takes good care of herself, she is very well educated as well, she wanted to be a detective and could have been one if she had not chosen this job. She looks very beautiful in this tight uniform of hers which enhances her figure, her long ck hair shins under the light and the slight tan on her skin looks very appealing to Julian, she is indeed a beautiful woman. Sasha noticed that Julian was staring at her ass and she felt shy, but she didn''t find it offensive, she got a little excited as this was Julian. If it was someone else she would have been angry, but for Julian, she would let it pass, he is the perfect man any woman would want to have as their lover. She even lifted her ass a little to make it pop out a little more from her skirt and pretended that she didn''t do it on purpose, Julian continued to look at her butt and noticed them pop out, he looked at Sasha and saw herpletely ignoring him but he could hear her heartbeat which is increasing at a rapid pace. He smirked, he knows what kind of effect he can have on a girl like Sasha but he decided to not call her out as she is the one gifting him the view. Once she was done cing all the food, Julian looked at the cuisine and was impressed by her choice, the table is filled with different dishes from starter to dessert. Julian "Sit down" Julian told her to sit down opposite to him on the sofa, he wanted to ask her some questions and see if she is really qualified. Sasha nodded and sat down on the opposite side of Julian and looked at him, she crossed her legs revealing her smooth thighs to Julian, Julian looked at them and raised his brows, it was really hard to control his sexual desires in front of such a beautiful woman but he had to. And Sasha is not making it easy for him either, she is already wearing a very short skirt and when she crossed her leg, Julian clearly got a glimpse of herced ck panty that she is wearing. Julian ''Shit she is hot'' Julian thought. When he met her he didn''t have these thoughts as she was standing behind her desk but right now, her whole body is visible in front of him and its hard to ignore. Sasha noticed Julian staring at her legs and she blushed, she has heard that Julian likes girls a lot and he already has three girlfriends so him having another woman in his life would not be something life-changing for him, she wondered if she can be one of his women. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath and tried to get rid of Sasha''s sexy figure from his mind, it took some effort but he did it anyway. He opened his eyes and picked up some chicken lollipops and bit down on them while looking at Sasha. Julian "So you wanted to be a Detective?" Sasha "Yes, but the money I would get from it would be too less for my family, my family is poor so money is a very important factor so I took this job instead of bing a detective" Julian "How good were you in your detective course?" Sasha "I don''t want to boast but I came first in every test" She said. Proud of herself and her achievement. Julian "So you know martial arts?" Sasha "Yes, I am a ck belt in taekwondo and Jiu jitsu" She said. Julian is impressed by her. Julian "If you were confronted by a group of men, how many of them do you think you can take down?" He wanted to see how much Sasha values her skill, is she overconfident or will she act humble. Sasha just decided to answer Julian''s questions, she didn''t know why Julian was asking these but it didn''t matter, she is having a great time right now. Sasha "If they are not trained, maybe five men, if it is a trained fighter, I will have a hard time if they are stronger than me" Julian nodded his head, her answer is eptable, a trainer fighter can take down several men but against another trained fighter it will be hard, the fight might evene down to luck sometimes. Julian "If I asked you to join a faction which is under me, will you join?" Sasha "I would, without a second thought" She said. If she can do this and get close to Julian then she might take this chance. Julian "Good, if you start to work under me, you will have control over a massive team and with thises great power and responsibility, do you think you will be able to handle it?" He asked. Sasha thought about this, even though she has training and knows how things really work, she doesn''t know if she can handle a massive team on her own. Sasha "I don''t think I can, even though I have the training, I have no experience on how to be a leader" Julian nodded. He realized that Sasha is the perfect candidate but she is still inexperienced, he was in no hurry to give her the position. Julian "You impressed me, you are selected but before you get the position you will need to get some training" Hearing this Sasha is shocked, she couldn''t believe what Julian just said, she got really excited and wanted to kiss Julian right now and make love to him. Julian "But that doesn''t mean you will definitely get the job, you have to perform really good during your training" Sasha nodded her head happily. Julian "Good, you should give your resignation letter to your boss, I will arrange for someone to take you to your training ce. Sasha "I have a question" She asked. Julian "What is it?" Sasha "Where is this training ce?" Julian "You will be working for the League as one of their rookie agents". Chapter 738 - For The Rankings When Sasha heard that she will be working for the league for a while, she is shocked, she knows how hard it really is to join the league and that too as one of their agents, they are one of the most elite people in their field. She then thought about what position she will get once shepletes her training. ?? Julian "You can leave now" Julian said. He needs to talk to the league about Sasha''s case and see how much they are willing to help him, Sasha nodded her head and walked away while looking at Julian, she is a little disappointed as nothing really happened between them but she cannot force it. She walked out of the room and took a long breath of relief, being in front of Julian was very taxing to her mental health as she was constantly under the pressure of keeping a good face in front of him. Julian continued to eat his dinner and decided to call it a day after feeding his pokemons. ___________________ A new day and Julian is getting ready to head out, he wants to watch the battle between Caitlin and Shauntal, this is going to be a big one, this battle might just decide if Shauntal can take over Caitlin''s position or will Caitlin put another win on her record and make her standing till relevant in public. Even though these numbers in their record don''t seem that important but they actually are very important, with more poprityes more money, being in the number one position means product rted to their names gets sold more and a percentage of that profit goes to the Elite Four members. This is another way the Elite Four make their money, even though the league pays them a lot, it might still not be enough and they get approached by manypanies to endorse their products, being number one will bring them more fans and these fans will buy more products. Even though Elite Four is not as famous as Champions they still have a lot of fans all around the world, even Julian had gone through this process, the reason hispany became so sessful is because of his image and reputation and the more league he won, the more fans he got and more people wanted to buy stuff rted to Julian. Julian could imagine one of his fans going all out and buying anything that has the name Julian on it, from wall posters to underwear, they would even buy the fake one who illegally makes them profit from Julian''s name. Well, it is true, some of his fans do so, they are the same as some hardcore weebs who decorate their whole room only with things rted to Julian. This battle between Caitlin and Shauntal is also very big as the one who looses will not have much effect but the winner might get a big check on their name because manypanies wille forward to sponsor them and endorse their products. No matter how much these big people say that money doesn''t matter in their life, they know it does and they will always wee extra money, with more money they will be able to continue living their current lifestyle. It is same for Julian as well, in his previous life money was a very important matter to Julian as he was not that rich, he raised his adopted son singlehandedly and thetter half of his life was lived on the pension given by the government, during that time money was the most important thing in Julian''s life. But now things are different, Julian is so rich that even he doesn''t know how much money he currently has in his bank ount, the more money he got the more he found himself not caring about it anymore but that didn''t mean he would not wee extra money that ising his way. He quickly found the venue that this battle is being held, he saw many people entering the massive stadium, the stadium has been fully decorated with lights and posters of Caitlin and Shauntal and their pokemons. It looks like they are spending a lot to promote this battle, Julian didn''t notice about this because he was first in the ck city then he spent a whole week inside forest and camping on his way to Unde town, this is a big battle and this doesn''t seem to be the only one as well. There will be four battles between the Elite Fours and this battle is to determine the ranking for the uing league, while the Champion has the highest rank, someone needs to be right behind him in rankings. So at the end of the league, the person who is rank two will get a chance to challenge the champion for his position if they are able to defeat the winner of the league. Julian has already changed his attire and put on his blue jacket and a ck beanie hat covering his head and a pair of sunsses as well, as Julian walked past some people he heard his name being spoken. He realized that many people are expecting Julian toe here and check out the battle between the two elite fours as he has been seen in these type of asions before, even if it''s just a rumor people are here to find Julian and even if they don''t find him they will still be able to witness a good battle between two powerful trainers. Chapter 739 - Caitlin Vs Shauntal Julian slowly walked passed through the crowd and tried his best to avoid any media people so they don''t flock towards him, after passing through the crowd he finally found himself the path that leads to the VIP area where he can have his peace and quiet and not get punched in the face by exciting fans. After taking a seat he looked down at the massive stadium and watched the crowd going wild for their favorite member of the Elite Four, the number of Caitlin fans are overwhelming as this town is her hometown, over 70% of the people here are supporting Caitlin, 20% is Shauntal fans and the remaining 10% are just here to watch the battle. ?? The crowd''s voice is starting to grow louder as time passes, within minutes the battle is about to start and the battlefield seems to be ready. Julian looked at the battlefield and noticed that it was reinforced by metal poles that went deep into the ground and these poles are connected to a very thickyer metal base underground, the battlefield itself is massive and it can easily fit in six fully grown Wailords from one trainer''s side to other in length. This is a pretty big size for a battlefield but the pokemons that will be fighting here are also very powerful and a small battlefield cannot handle that much pressure. ____________________ The wait was over and the event started to fireworks, even though it is day time they shined brightly in the sky, media choppers started to hover up in the sky as they started to stream the footage live to the whole Unova region, several TV crew members on the ground also started to stream their content live to several Unovian TV channels. The Announcer got on his seat and started to talk, he first addressed the sponsors of this battle and introduced an important guest who is a big official in the league. Then it was time for the battle, with several firecrackers going out, the first constant walked in, she is a tall woman with very long and curly hair, she is wearing a long pink dress and a see-through veil-like cape around her back, she is also wearing a very big hat on her head. She is none other than Caitlin the psychic type user of the Elite Four, she was greeted by pink smoke which covered the whole battlefield followed by beautiful fireworks, the crowd popped very loudly on her entrance, Caitlin waved at her fans and gave them flying kisses which made her fans go even crazy. Once she was done with her entrance, she took her ce on the battlefield and waited for her rival and opponent to walk in. Suddenly the surrounding turned gloomy as the lights around the stadium dimmed down, dark purple smoke started to move around the battlefield making it look very creepy, a very gloomy music started to y in the background making it even creepier. And from within this dark smoke, a figure walked out of it, a young woman with short purple hair, wearing a purple colored dress with ck leggings, wearing clear sses with a red frame and she is also wearing a massive bow tie around her neck which is put in ce by a big red-colored pin. This is none other than the ghost type user of the Unova''s Elite Four, Shauntal, but unlike her theme, she looks very cute in person, she doesn''t give off any creepy aura, unlike her entrance theme, while Caitlin can be considered a beautiful princess, Shauntal looked like the very cute librarian at the library who would always mind their own business. Her entrance also got a massive pop from her fans, even though their number was small in cooperation to Caitlin''s they went all out with their lungs to cheer her up. She looked at her fans and smiled while giving them a nod and showing her appreciation for them, Julian continued to watch both of them carefully as he wanted to see if they would try to y a psychological battle before the real battle begins. Caitlin "You may have an extra win over me but that wille to an end today, I am taking you down" She said. Fully confident in her ability to defeat Shauntal this time and put them back to square one on their dual. Shauntal "Hmm, I hope you can back your words, I am also looking forward to our battle, I hope I get inspired to write another good book" She said while maintaining a straight face, not only is she just an Elite Four member, she is also a very famous writer and has written many award-winning novels. Caitlin "I see, too bad the only thing you might right after our battle is the story of your defeat" She said. Shauntal "Maybe or maybe I will be victorious" Caitlin "Then, let''s not waste any time and begin the battle" Shauntal "With pleasure" With both agreeing to the start of the battle, the announcer called for it and the referee entered the battlefield with two gs in his hand ready to start the battle. Chapter 740 - Caitlin Vs Shauntal (2) With both Elite-Four members in their respective position, it is clear that they are ready to battle, the referee also took his ce and looked at both trainers and started to exin the rules. Referee "This battle is a one on one pokemon battle, the battle will not end until one of the pokemon goes down, are the rules clear?" ? ? Hearing the rules both Shauntal and Caitlin nodded their head, a one on one pokemon battle doesn''t have many rules, the only rule is to defeat the other pokemon. Referee "Since both trainers are ready, you may choose your pokemon" With the referee''s call both Caitlin and Shauntal took out their Pokeball and tossed it up in the air revealing their respective pokemon to the world, the ones who are going to battle today. Shauntal sent out her Chandelure, a Ghost/Fire-type pokemon, a very strong special attacker with good speed, defense, and special defense, the only thing that itcks in are endurance which is its health and its physical attack. Caitlin sent out her Reuniclus, a psychic type pokemon, a strong special attacker with very good endurance and health, they also have average defense and above-average special defense. The thing that theyck behind is in their speed and below-average attack stat, especially their speed, they are very slow and are often getting hit by their opponents. Julian looked at both these pokemons and could tell that they are equally matched but from just a general perspective Shauntal''s Chandelure clearly has the advantage here, it has a higher special attack stats and is way faster and on top of that, it has an advantage over Reuniclus. Caitlin was clearly at a disadvantage and she will have to y smart to win this battle. Referee "You may begin the battle" After seeing both trainers had sent out their pokemon in the battlefield, the referee didn''t make the viewers wait any longer and started to battle by waving the gs in his hand, the crowd burst into a cheer as the battle started. Shauntal made the first move and called out a methrower, she is going big from the first. Shauntal "A good beginning is very important, whether it if for a good novel or a good pokemon battle" Caitlin "I won''t deny that im, Reuniclus, use Psychic" As Caitlin called out her move her Reuniclus floated up in the air and surrounded itself with a transparent pink aura, as the methrower got closer to it, the methrower suddenly exploded causing everyone to exim in surprise. Julian saw this and his eyes went wide, this was the first time he has seen someone Psychic like this, Psychic is a very diverse move and it takes no attack from it is always simr, it depends on how the pokemon and trainer havee to use it. Caitlin and her Reuniclus have figure out that Psychic is very fluid and can be used in any way, shape or form, it can be used just like any normal beam attack, or it can directly target their opponents and gain control over their body and leave them helpless or they can either do what Caitlin just did. Create a spot to concentrate all of Reuniclus''s energy and when the methrower engulfed that spot, the energy was released, destroying the methrower from inside. Julian was surprised, even he hadn''t thought about using Psychic like that, he always used them to get full control over his opponent''s pokemon and use it as a wave attack so that the opponent can not dodge it. Julian thought about the move Caitlin and her Reuniclus just pulled off and put it in a simtion inside his head, this move was indeed devastating, he knows how potent an attack can be if all the power is concentrated into a small space, this was the same but for it to work, the opponent''s pokemon would have to get close to the spot where the concentrated psychic energy is. And when ites to some pokemons they can easily sense psychic energy, such as ghosts, dark, and other psychic type pokemons. This will be hard to pull off but then Julian thought of something and pped his thighs, he remembered thend mines from his previous life, they were the most dangerous thing a soldier cane across, they won''t even know how they died, their body would have already been obliterated. If Caitlin can set these energy spots all over the battlefield then it can be a sess but she will also have to find a way to mask them from her opponent''s pokemon who is a ghost type pokemon. To mask these mines Julian would use his pokemons aura to cover them up but to sessfully do that the pokemon needs to be very, very strong, the aura that it releases should be very thick and that can be very difficult, maybe his Gardevoir can do that. As he looks at Caitlin''s Reuniclus, he knows that it cannot pull off something like this, but this is not his battle, he decided to continue watching and see how this really ends up and how is Caitlin nning to use this new way of using Psychic to her advantage. Shauntal is also surprised by Caitlin''s counter and knew that she cannot afford toe in contact with that energy spot, she didn''t notice it before but as soon as her pokemon''s methrower exploded she suspected it and her Chandelure confirmed her suspicion, her Chandelure is not resistant to psychic type attacks so those energy spots can be devastating but she knows that he is not the end. Her Chandelure can sense these energy spots and can easily avoid them, and right after their first exchange both trainers tensed up and knew that this battle is even harder than theirst battle because both of them have grown a lot. Julian watched and smiled. Chapter 741 - Caitlin Vs Shauntal (3) Julian "These Elite-Four from Unova are something else, they are clearly way stronger than the ones I have battled before" He acknowledged their strength, all the Elite Four are very strong and verypetitive making them always give their all to gain an upper hand on the other and hence growing even stronger but their biggest challenge is none other than the Champion of Unova, Alder, one of the strongest champions. ?? Cynthia imed that he was equal to her. When it came to pure firepower, Cynthia clearly has an advantage over him but his experience is something Cynthia cannot have at her age, with more experiencees years of knowledge and defeating a knowledgeable person in a battle is very difficult. So Julian really wants to battle Alder, he believes that he might give him a greater challengepared to his girlfriend Cynthia and there are also many others who he wants to battle, with his challenge he heard many power trainers areing out of their hiding to battle Julian. He wondered as to how many good trainers wille out and are they better than the champion of Unova. He put the thought behind and continued to watch the battle, Shauntal started her attack again but this time she started off with a Hyper Beam, this attack is very powerful and Caitlin cannot pull off the same move again. Her Reuniclus''s Psychic cannotpare to a full power Hyper Beam, seeing the attacking Caitlin quickly went into defense and called out Protect. Her Reuniclus quickly created a massive shield protecting itself from the Hyper Beam, the Hyper Beam crashed into the Protect and tried to break it but it was not sessful, as the Hyper Beam ended the Protect also shattered into fragments but this worked in Caitlin''s favor. Since Chandelure used Hyper Beam, it cannot move right now, giving Reuniclus the perfect chance to attack. Caitlin "Now, Psychic" With Caitlin''s call, her Reuniclus charged up its power and started to put all its energy into a single spot right in front of Chandelure''s face, Chandelure could sense the thick concentrated psychic energy right in front of its face but it couldn''t do anything. After a second Chandelure could feel its body and tried to get away from the energy spot but it couldn''t get too much distance as soon as it moved half a meter away, the energy spot exploded and sent Chandelure flying across the battlefield and it then crashed on the ground hard. The damage was huge but Shauntal didn''t seem o be too worried about it, she was watching this whole process and realized that the energy spot took a second topletely form and explode, for a trainer at her level, 1 second is too much time and they cane up with many different counters. Now she knows how much time the energy spot needs to form, she is ready for her counter, even though sacrificing her Chandelure to the attack was risky, she knew that her Chandelure can take it. Her Chandelure got back in the air, its body is filled with scratches from thatst attack. Shauntal "Now, let''s get started, Chandelure, use Astonish" With her call her Chandelure charged towards Reuniclus with full speed, Caitlin was surprised by this as she didn''t expect Shauntal to attack physically, she knew that Shauntal is nning something but she doesn''t know what it is. Caitlin "Use Protect" Reuniclus used Protect again and protected itself from the Astonish, after the Protect was used it shattered int fragments and disappeared but Shauntal was not done, she called out her next move. Shauntal "Use Mystical Fire" Mystical Fire is a fire type move that deals heavy damage and on top of that, it also lowers its target''s Special Attack. Caitlin was ready for this and countered. Caitlin "Use Energy Ball" As both pokemons were very close to each other when they released their attack, the sh between them caused both pokemon to suffer from the bacsh and were sent flying backward, as the smoke cleared up, both pokemons could still be seen floating in the air. The one who still looked better is, of course, Reuniclus as it has more endurance and healthpared to Chandelure, Caitlin is expecting hard attacks from Shauntal''s side and she hopes to absorb all of them with the help of her pokemon''s better endurance and health. Caitlin "I think, its time to end this" Shauntal "I don''t think so" She said and got ready to counter but she suddenly noticed something was off. Caitlin "Finish it with Psychic" As soon as she gave the order, her Reuniclus charged up its psychic powers and suddenly multiple energy spots appeared out of nowhere around Chandelure. Shauntal is surprised but this, this should not be possible as she has seen how much time it took for an energy spot to form, this was too fast and too many at the same time. Caitlin "Now, explode" Chandelure tried to escape but it was useless, it was surrounded by these energy spots and they all started to explode, one exploded and sent Chandelure to one direction, it came in contact with another energy spot and was sent flying to another direction once again, this continued seven to eight times before Chandelure finally crashed on the ground fainted from that ridiculous assault. Shauntal was shocked by the result as this didn''t make any sense to her, the battle was going pretty well and no one had the upper hand and now this sudden shift was shocking. Shauntal "How did you pull that off?" She asked. Caitlin "Well, my Reuniclus has been using m Mind from the beginning of this battle, we knew that you will try to figure out my new attack and you did and I baited you into thinking the limit of this attack, once my Reuniclus reached its peak power after multiple Calm Mind, it was time to disy the real power behind my new move" She said exining how she pulled of her win. Referee "The winner of this battle is Elite-Four member Caitlin" As he announced the result, the massive screen on the top of the stadium showed the scorecards and put another win next to Caitlin''s name while putting another loss next to Shauntal, it then showed the match card between Shauntal and Caitlin and changed the number from 4-3 to 4-4, putting them back to square one. With the end of this battle, Caitlin is still on the top of the list ranking right behind Alder. Chapter 742 - Meeting Caitlin Again The battle between Caitlin and Shauntal came to an end with Caitlin taking the victory and putting the scorecard between them back to a draw, and the way she used her new move was very interesting, the battle ended very quickly and it looked one-sided and it was. Shauntal was caughtpletely off guard by the element of surprise provided by Caitlin, if she had not fallen for it she might have been able to pull the battle a little longer and maybe even score another victory over Caitlin. ?? But for this battle, Caitlin came prepared and knew how to bait her opponent and take advantage of it. The crowd started to cheer for Caitlin for her win. Since the stadium was filled with 70% of her fans, the sound was massive and half of the town could hear them, Shauntal''s fans were really upset, they really wanted her to win but today is not the day. Julian also decided to take his leave since the battle is over, once he watched both contestant walk away from the battlefield he also left his VIP room as well, on his way outside the stadium he suddenly ran into Caitlin. He didn''t want to use the public exit so he went through the ones used by staff and trainers, since he paid the VIP premium he was allowed to take it and walk out of the stadium, Julian didn''t know if he should greet her or just walk past her, but before he could think of anything Caitlin actually noticed him. Caitlin "Julian?" She called out as she saw the man in front of her, the one with bright crimson eyes, she could never forget those eyes as they left a huge impact behind when he saved Caitlin and Professor Kukui from Team sma''s attack. Julian looked at her and took out his mask and greeted her. Julian "Hello" Caitlin "I thought you woulde to watch the battle" She said. Julian "Hmm, it was an interesting battle" He said. Acknowledging Caitlin''s methods. Caitlin "Thankyou, so do you think you can counter it?" She asked. She wondered if Julian can escape from her new move. Julian "Hm, It''s hard but possible" Here, Julian is being humble, he already has several ways to rip right through those energy spots, he could just overpower them with his pokemon''s brute force. Caitlin "I see, by the way, are you only here to watch my battle, if Cynthia finds out about this, you will be in big trouble" She said with a smile on her face, she was trying to tease Julian as he is her best friend''s boyfriend. Julian "Well, I am looking for ancient artifacts and monuments, I just stumbled upon this event and decided to see how other members of the Elite Four arepared to you" When Caitlin heard about this, she was surprised, she didn''t expect Julian to be interested in ancient and historical stuff, the biggest reason for her shock is because she didn''t think her interest will match with Julian, she is also very into the history of any region. When she was young she would always go around Unova and try to find anything that is old and looks ancient, she would often join Cynthia during her own adventure and go around trying to find stuff. Caitlin "Well, if you are interested, I know about some ancient ruins that are present in the town, I can join you and look into it" She said with excitement in her voice. Julian "Hmm, are you sure?" Julian is confused by Caitlin''s behavior. Before she looked calm and elegant but now she looks like an excited kid who has been told that she is going to an amusement park. Caitlin "Yes, I love to, I am really interested in these kinds of stuff, I have been trying to find some undiscovered ruins here in Unde town but till now I have no sess, maybe we can work together" She said. Julian "Ok then, when do you want to meet and where?" Julian thought about this and knew that adding Caitlin to the group might help him, this is her hometown and she knows about some ancient ruins, Julian wants to go through these ancient ruins that Caitlin knows of and continue finding the ones that are still undiscovered. Caitlin "How about tomorrow,e to my mansion, I will be waiting for you" Julian "Where is your mansion?" Julian asked as he has no idea where she lives. Caitlin "Oh, Ipletely forgot, here take this" She said and handed out a small card from her purse, Julian took the card and looked at it, the card had her name, phone number and her address on top of it. Caitlin "Please don''t lose it, if this card goes public, I will have some problems" She said. These cards are only given to very important members and not allowed for the public to be seen. Julian nodded and put it away, after that he bid his farewell and decided to look around the city for now as he has nothing else to do, he also needs to call the League and talk about Sasha''s situation. Caitlin also bid her farewell and left. Julian didn''t know how to feel about this, spending time with his girlfriend''s best friend can be a bit troublesome, he also knows how he can affect the women in his life that spend too much time with him. He decided to keep some distance from Caitlin while he explores the town with her and make sure to not get too close to her either. Julian then walked around the city to find some things that might interest him but none of them did, he did find some old monuments but they had no significant history that said anything about ancient Unova and their pokemons. Chapter 743 - Sexually Awkward Julian returned back to his hotel room and asked Sasha to prepare some food for him, Sasha became really obedient when she was in front of Julian and looked at him with respect and admiration. Julian went into his room and sat down on his bed while looking at his phone, he thought about something and called the CEO of the Unova League''s headquarters, it didn''t even take a second before the call was picked up from the other side. ?? The young CEO is very excited to talk to Julian and help him again. CEO "Hello? Mr. Julian" Julian "Yes, it''s me, I needed some help from you guys" CEO "Please tell me your concern, I will do anything to fix it" He said with full confidence. Julian "You should know about my little faction right?" CEO "Yes, how could I not, they are doing a great job" Julian "Yes, but not enough, they need someone to supervise them and I think I found a good candidate but she has no experience, I want you to put her in one of the Elite teams and make her work as a rookie" CEO "This.... can be a little tough, if this person a normal person, does she have any training before in her life" Julian "She has graduated from a deceptive school and ims to be good at physical defense so give her a chance, if she fails to meet the requirements of an Elite agent in the league, we will talk about her future then" CEO "Ok, I understand, so who is this person?" Julian "I will send you her details afterward" CEO "Ok then" With that Julian ended the call and thought about how Sasha might perform during her training phase, if she is really good she will be able to join Julian''s faction after shepletes her training. If not, Julian will find her another job so she doesn''t have to go back to working as a receptionist and instead work for the league while getting a decent sry as well. Since he is the reason behind Sasha giving away her job he should also bear the responsibility, as he was thinking about it he heard the doorbell ring, he knew it was Sasha and walked towards the door and opened it. He saw Sasha standing there tightly holding onto the food tray in her hands, Julian looked at her and noticed that she is wearing even more revealing clothes than yesterday, he could see her cleave clearly and her soft plump thighs as her skirt were also very short. Julian knew that Sasha is attracted to him and even he finds her very sexy but he has to stop himself, for now, he cannot be a horny dog for the rest of his life even though his body craves more sexual stimtion, even when he is will all his girlfriends and doing it with them, they have a hard time keeping up do to his sexual drive. If he tries to do with just a signal woman, she might just pass out and Julian will still not be satisfied, he didn''t like this at all but he couldn''t do anything, this body of his was too much. Julian "Get in" Julian controlled himself by slowing breathing and called Sasha in, he really wanted to tell Sasha to stop all these but he couldn''t it would show that he was checking her out and Julian didn''t want to be view as a pervert, even though both of them could tell that they are interested in each other no one wants to admit it. Sasha walked towards the couch and started to te Julian''s food, Julian sat down on the couch and watched Sasha''s ass, the skirt she is wearing is very short and it was barely covering her panties, the tight skirt helped her ass look very nice and plum, Julian felt like groping them but put his hands between his thighs and stopped himself and just watched in silence. But then Sasha bent down even more which caused her skirt to pull up, revealing the thong she was wearing, the ck thin strap only covered the holes of her pussy while Julian could clearly see the two plump lips of her pussy. Julian gulped down and quickly reached out his hand and pulled her skirt down to cover it but doing that his finger graced her pussy causing Sasha to let out a soft moan, she had realized that her skirt got lifted up and she was about to cover it but Julian did it for her instead and in that process, he also touched her. She turned around and looked at Julian in embarrassment and her face was red, she realized that Julian saw her thong, she knew he also saw her pussy as the thong was too thin to cover it all. Julian "Forget about it and take a seat" He said and decided to ignore the incident that just took ce. Sasha nodded and sat down opposite from Julian and folded her legs to cover her exposed pussy, she knew that even if she moves a little she will expose it again to Julian, she was also impressed by how Julian handled the situation. If it was someone else they would have already pounced on her and ravaged her plump pussy but Julian didn''t But deep down she really wanted Julian to force her head down on this table and ravage her plump pussy from behind till shees multiple times, thinking about it she started to be horny and her thong started to get wet. Chapter 744 - Calling Girlfriends Julian tried to ignore the factor that he just touched Sasha''s pussy and looked at her, he noticed her face was wet and her eyes are dted and she is constantly shaking and tightening her legs trying to cover her panty. Controlling himself, he took a te filled with chicken and started to talk. ?? Julian "I talked with the league about your new job, give me all your details, I will send it to the league and they will contact you very soon" Sasha nodded while still embarrassed about the current situation and it is still very awkward between them, Sasha is not the type of person that wants to take charge. if Julian moves forward and makes a move on her she willply very easily as that is what she wants, but it''s very awkward for her because Julian is not doing so. But putting that aside she is also very excited after what Julian just told her, she nodded her head with excitement. Julian "Ok, I will give you my number, send it to me after you get back home" Julian gave her his number and she did the same, after exchanging their numbers, Sasha left as Julian took onest nce at her firm plump ass. After she left Julian sighed and became really frustrated, Sasha was trying to seduce him but she is still conscious about her actions and didn''t step forward, Julian also controlled himself as he didn''t want to do anything before talking to all his girlfriends. Heid down on his bed and looked at his phone, thinking about calling Chloe as she is the one who understands him the most and she also holds a very special ce in his heart and she is always there to advise him during these times. As he was thinking about her, his phone started to ring and it was none other than Chloe, it was a video call, this put a smile on his face and he picked up the phone. Chloe "Honey, how are you?" She said as her voice is filled with love and care for him. Julian "I am doing fine, tell me about yourself" Chloe "I am doing great as well, I justnded a new role in a movie" She said happily. Julian "How is Daisy?" Chloe "She is taking a bath, she wanted to get herself ready before you see her" Hearing this Julian smiled, he loved Daisy very much as well and as time passed she has started to be more confidant and more open about her feelings, when he met her first she was really closed and didn''t ever express her opinion but now she does and always tries to take the first step. Julian "Interesting, how about you show me what she is doing?" Chloe "Sheesh, control yourself, but I like the idea, hehe" She giggled and got up from her bed and walked towards the bathroom, the door of the bathroom was not locked as only Chloe and Daisy live there and no one can enter their room because their apartment is guarded by several guards and even the league have few agents around for their protection as Julian''s trust and happiness is their number one priority. Chloe slowly opened the bathroom door while pointing the phone''s camera at Daisy who is taking a shower, Daisy''s soft hands glide through her body as she rubs her nipples with one hand and massages her pussy with her other hand while moaning softly. She calls out Julian''s name slowly while doing so, she clearly misses him and his touch, Julian is surprised by seeing this whole Chloe just smiles mischievously. Chloe "Look at her, calling your name while touching herself" Chloe said out loud trying to grab Daisy''s attention and she did, Daisy turned around surprised and saw Chloe holding a phone and on the screen was Julian, Julian thought that she would get embarrassed but she didn''t. She instead felt more excited as she saw Julian was watching her and she started to rub herself again down there and continued to call out his name, this aroused Julian. Julian "You have be very naughty" He said and smiled. Daisy "It''s all because of you, you are irresistible, I can''t imagine how many women are after you right now" She said giggling. Julian realized that Daisy is now more open to the idea of him having multiple women. Before she was a little against the idea but now she seems very open to it, Chloe has rubbed off on her a lot and she also understands the effect Julian has on women, it was the same for her as well. Julian "Let''s not talk about it, get ready and let''s talk I missed you both a lot" Daisy agreed and grabbed a towel and joined Chloe back in the bed to talk to Julian, after a few minutes they decided to call Cynthia as well and called her. Cynthia is on her bed with just a nightgown on her, one could easily see her breast through the transparent mesh, Cynthia saw Julian calling her into a conference call and knew Chloe and Daisy are also in the call, she smiled and picked it up, she saw Daisy and Chloe in one side and Julian on the other. Now all three of his girlfriends are in a call with him. This is not rare because Julian talks to them all the time, he always takes his time to call them and check on them and check on their life, they talked for a while before Chloe suddenly asked a question. Chloe "So any new girls that you took interest in?" She asked. She knows how hard it is for Julian and she doesn''t want Julian to get sexually frustrated. Julian "You are really someone thing you know" Chloe "So there is one huh?" Daisy "How is she, is she beautiful?" Cynthia "Is it someone we know?" All three of them bombarded a lot of questions. When it came to Julian liking a girl, his girlfriends get very protective of him as they don''t want any leach totch on to him. Julian "Rx, I will tell you everything, calm down". Chapter 745 - Make Her Loyal Since his girlfriends bombarded him with questions Julian decided to answer them and he didn''t want to hide anything as well. Julian "There is this girl I met here in Unde Town, her name is Sasha and she works as a receptionist here in this seven-star hotel" ?? Chloe "A receptionist? You have seen many beautiful receptionists, why does she stand out?" She asked. She knows Julian''s taste and any normal receptionist won''t catch his eye. Julian "First of all, she is really beautiful but that is subjective, she is very good at reading people, I looked further into it and found out that she wanted to be a deceptive but the money was too little so she started to work here" He said. Cynthia "Well, I can understand, many students who go to detective school to pursue their dreams don''t join the police at all because of the very little money in the beginning, but to get a promotion it takes a lot of effort and time" Cynthia understood Sasha''s decision, detectives who just start their job are paid very less and to get a promotion they have to stand out from the rest and work their ass off, and even after the promotion, they are still not at a position that gives them a lot of money. Julian "Well, since I noticed this I decided to recruit her into my faction" Chloe "Won''t she be inexperienced or is she really that beautiful that you don''t care about her experience, you just want to eat her up?" Chloe said while chuckling. Julian "Of course not, I won''t take such a huge risk, I contacted the league to take her in and train her as a rookie, if her performance is promising I will give her the role, and it''s also really troublesome. Whenever she is around I just want to grab her but I didn''t" Chloe "Oh my poor baby, you are so frustrated, I will take some day off ande to visit you then" Chloe felt bad. She knows Julian''s condition, even Cynthia and Daisy know how hard it is for Julian to control himself but he still controlled himself anyways because he has promised them that he would never make a move on anyone without their permission. Cynthia "Hey, I wille as well, my vacation ising up and I was nning to visit Unde town" Cynthia said. She is also very eager to meet Julian. Julian "That would be great you all, all of you back into my life" He said happily. Daisy "By the way, can we see this girl''s picture, and what''s her name?" Daisy asked as she is curious about this new girl Julian is talking about, she is the most protective over Julian than any other, Chloe is very open to Julian having other women, she won''t even be mad if he sleeps with multiple women without even telling her because she understands Julian more than anyone. Cynthia is also open to the idea, when she first met Julian she already liked him very much and when he saw how Chloe and Daisy excepted her without even doubting her love towards him, she understood that Julian is special, both women and pokemons are veryfortable with him and if a woman spends some time with him, they wille under his effect and start to fall in love with him, so she is also open to Julian having sex with any women because they won''t get his love, they will only be pleasured. And thenes Daisy, even though she is open to Julian having multiple women sex partners, she doesn''t want women to folk to him because she gets a little jealous, she knows Julian just won''t fall in love with anyone and there will only be her, Chloe and Cynthia that he truly loves. But the idea of multiple women folk towards him for his attention is frustrating ''Why do you all have to go for my man'' is her thought, but she also knows that Julian will never pay attention to them as he is always traveling and he doesn''t have time for them. Julian "Well her name is Sasha and she is 18 years old" As Julian was talking he suddenly received a message, it was from Sasha and she has sent her whole information. Julian "And speaking of the devil, she just sent me her profile to evaluate as I need to send it over to the League" Chloe "Nice, see if she has put any pictures of her" Julian nodded and look through the profile and found several pictures of Sasha, one was just a passport size with her head shot and the others are her full body photo''s wearing a white shirt and tight ck pencil skirt. Julian "Look at these" He said and sent them Sasha''s pictures, all three of them looked at Sasha''s picture and slowly let out a whistle blow. Chloe "Wow she is hot, no wonder you said she is beautiful" Daisy "Look at her breast, they are as big as Chloe''s" Cynthia "Indeed, she is very voluptuous, just like Chloe, I am a little jealous" Cynthia said with a smile. Chloe "Shut up, you are so tall, I wish I was as tall as you so I won''t have to take Julian''s support just to kiss him" Daisy "Indeed, I would also like to be as tall as you" Chloe "Daisy, you have the best ass out of all of us, you shouldn''tin" Soon the three started toplement each other and it became very aggressive, Julian is dumbfounded, he didn''t understand them at all, and they continued for five minutes beforeing to a realization that Julian is still watching them, they all became embarrassed and stopped. Julian "Don''t worry, I love you all, no matter how you look, so what do you think about her" Chloe "She is really beautiful, no kidding, even I would want to be there while you do her, I would approve you to have sex with her and if she is working for you in future, it is best for her to be very loyal to you" Chloe said and chuckled. Daisy "I agree, I like how she looks but I know nothing about her personality, but if Chloe''s approves, I will as well" Cynthia "I agree as well, if Chloe and Daisy had not given me the confidence to make a move on you, I wouldn''t have and I wouldn''t have gained your love and knowing that she might be working with you in the future, it is best for her to be absolutely loyal because you cannot put anyone in that spot that Sasha will take, you won''t have to worry about Omni Guardians being used the wrong way" Seeing all three of his girlfriends agreeing to him having a rtionship with Sasha, he was not surprised as he knows they understand him but they were one step even ahead of him and told him to make Sasha very loyal to him, even he hadn''t thought of that. Julian "You girls are evil" He said andughed. Chloe "You are no less evil either, you made all of us fall in love with you so much that even if a guy approaches us, we feel disgusted and only think about you" She said. Julian "Wait, is this real?" He asked confused as he didn''t know about this at all. Daisy "Wait you don''t know about this?" Cynthia ''Yes, before I was fine with guys talking to me but after being with you, I don''t like it when they try to be too friendly with me" Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t know about this at all. Julian ''System, is there an exnation for this?'' System ''It is a biological effect, females are attracted to the most dominant male and host being the strongest has that effect on them and the omniforce that has been put inside their body by host had elevated their reaction to this, other males are just beta in their eyes and not worth looking at'' Julian ''Shit what the fuck, why didn''t you tell me this before'' System ''I thought that this knowledge to the host is useless'' Julian ''Well now that I think about it, it is useless'' Julian thought and smiled happily. Chapter 746 - Duel Evolution The four of them continued to talk to each other, the first half was filled with the girls talking about Sasha, they even asked Julian to film it, the more Julian listened to them the more he realized that these three girlfriends of his are turning wilder and wilder. They wanted to see Julian have sex with Sasha and asked him to record it, he didn''t know what to say to them, after hours of talking Julian realized that it''s already 2 AM and these three are still not done talking. ?? Julian "I think I have to go, I have a date with Caitlin tomorrow" Julian said with a smile trying to tease Cynthia as he knows she is her best friend. Cynthia "Wait you are going on a date with Caitlin?" She asked surprised. Julian "Don''t worry I am joking but I do fear what she will have to go through tomorrow" He said and sighed. Chloe "So you are spending your time with Caitlin?" Julian "Well she promised to show around the town and different ancient ruins that are present here" He exined. Cynthia "I see, she is a history geek, no wonder she agreed to show you around, she willtch onto anyone that is looking into ancient stuff" Cynthia said as he remembered the torture Caitlin put her through during the time they spent together when they were young. Daisy "I feel bad for her, spending time with you can go horribly wrong" She said. Julian "I know I will try yo keep some distance" Cynthia "Why don''t you want to date her, she is beautiful?" Cynthia asked as she wanted to figure out how Julian looked at Caitlin. Julian "Well she is beautiful but I didn''t feel anything for her and on top of that she is your best friend, it''s weird" He said. He didn''t want to get close to Caitlin as it was too much for him. Julian "Ok, you should all go to sleep, you must be tired" Julian ended the call and went back to sleep. ___________________ The next morning when he woke up, he saw his phone and found a message in his social media which is private, this was the person Julian had made a deal with, this person is actually a Shelmet trainer. He also had the same idea as Julian, why to find a pokemon in the wild and make it evolve if they can find trainers who are also looking to evolve their pokemon. Julian found this trainer who wanted to evolve his Shelmet and needed a Karrast, so when Julian contacted him, he immediately agreed to Julian''s request, he didn''t know it was Julian but since he saw that Julian ising to Unde Town and he also lives in the town, he agreed to it. When Julian saw this message he realized that he forgot about this matter, he was totally distracted with matters rted to Sasha, Caitlin, and the ancient ruins, one of his reason toe to Unde Town was to evolve his Karrast. He looked at the clock on the wall and noticed he still has some time before he meets up with Caitlin, he messaged the trainer to meet him at the mall where they can help each other evolve their pokemon. He didn''t have to wait for long at all as this person responded to him within a few seconds saying he will be right there. Julian "He is quite eager to evolve his pokemon I guess" He thought and got ready to head out, as he got down the hotel he saw Sasha at the receptionist greeting new guest into the hotel, when she saw Julian she bowed at him with respect, he smiled and walked out of the hotel, got on top of his bike and headed towards the mall. When he reached there he found the trainer he was looking for, this trainer is just a young kid who is around 10 years old and he has a Shelmet standing beside him waiting for someone, Julian looked at his phone to confirm if this one is really the trainer, he confirmed it as this kid is wearing a yellow shirt and blue pants just like in the description. He stopped the bike right in front of the kid and looked at him. Julian "Are you the trainer who wants to evolve his Shelmet?" "Yes I am" The kid said excitedly, he really wanted to evolve his Shelmet and he couldn''t find any Karrast in the wild and he still hasn''t got his trainer license for him to travel all outside his town. Julian "What''s your name?" "Trace" Julian "Trace, then let''s not waste any time and find a ce to evolve out pokemon" Trace nodded and guided Julian towards a park, Julian looked around and found a few people around but it didn''t matter, he released his Karrast, Karrast came out and looked around as his eyes fell on Shelmet. As soon as he saw the Shelmet, he felt a connection towards it and approached it, same could be said for Shelmet, it also felt a connection towards Karrast and approached him, once they got close together, Karrast put his hand on top of the Shelmet and suddenly both of them started to glow and they started to evolve. Julian knew that this process is very simple, in the wild Karrast and Shelmet are born in different regions in Unova but once they hatch and grow a little stronger, both side start to migrate towards a certain area and when both sides meet they start to evolve by being in contact with each other. Luckily for Julian''s Karrast and Trace''s Shelmet, they didn''t have to travel long distance on feet, Julian brought Karrast right here so he can evolve. The glowing light increased which caught the attention of some people and they approached the are to see what is happening, they realized that two pokemons are evolving and got a little excited, a pokemon evolution is always a fascination thing as they evolve so fast, their bone structure change at such rapid phase. Julian''s Karrast started to change as he no longer looked like his old self, it looked like if a thick shell is ground around his body, the Shelmet was also changing, it suddenly lost its armor and started to grow bigger, if one observed this properly, one could tell that Karrast took the metal shell from Shelmet and set it free from its binding allowing it to evolve further. And with the metal shell in his hand, Karrast started to evolve as well, as the light faded away both pokemons are revealed to the people surrounding them, Escavalier and elgor. elgor, a ridiculously fast pokemon with good special attack and Escavalier, a great physical attacker with good defense and special defense but very slow in speed. Chapter 747 - Escavalier Vs Accelgor Julian looked at his now Escavalier, his team has be stronger with this addition to his team, Escavalier also seems very excited as it finally evolved and won''t be held behind by his small size and now he canpete with his friends in a fair battle. Trace also looked at his elgor and got very excited, his Shelmet has finally evolved and now its looks more powerful and cool, a bug ninja, this was the impression of Julian when he saw this pokemon. ?? Trace looked at Julian excited and wanted to battle him. Trace "Can we have a battle, I will soon get my training license so I want to get ready before I head out on my own journey" Julian looked at Trace and smiled, this boy with ck hair and blue eyes was very excited, he could see that he wants to be a pokemon trainer, Julian decided to ept his challenge even though he knew that Trace is going to lose, but it will give him a broad perspective of the power scale of pokemons and their trainers outside this town and where he currently stands. He also knew that Trace has an advantage as he is starting off with a pokemon which is fully evolved and with its speed, it can dominate the first three gyms if he does well, these first few wins can be a huge ego boost for him and when hees crashing down on his first defeat, it might hit him very hard. So Julian decided to not go easy on Trace and show him he will have to work very hard if he wants to be a good trainer. Julian "Sure, do you know any battlefield that is around the area?" Julian asked. Trace "Yes, one is right here in this park let''s go" Trace took Julian towards the nearest battlefield and both of them took their stance, the people who saw these two pokemon evolve also followed as they wanted to see the battle, few people who were around the battlefield also approached them as they wanted to see the battle. Julian "Are you ready?" Trace "Yes" Julian "Ok then, make the first move" Trace "elgor, use Bug Bite" Trace called out his first move and his elgorunched itself straight towards Julian''s Escavalier, Julian is surprised by the speed this elgor disyed, it was clearly a very good pokemon with great potential and if trained properly can be a champion level pokemon under a champion. Julian could already tell that Trace has no experience when ites to battling, even though his pokemon is a special type attacker and has the greater speed advantage, he still made the choice to get close to Escavalier, no pokemon trainer with enough experience would make this mistake. Julian "Use Quick Guard" Julian could end this with one move but he didn''t he wanted to see if Trace just made a mistake or he really is very inexperienced. Quick Guard is a type of move that can always allow a slower pokemon to block the enemy''s attack no matter how fast they are, even the very fast elgor couldn''tnd its Bug Bite because Escavalier already blocked the attack by crossing his two sharp metal hands, the teeth of elgor only bit into the hard metal. Escavalier then pushed elgor back with just a single movement disying his strength and showing that he is way stronger than elgor. Trace saw this and tightly held his fist. Trace "Make some distance and use Signal Beam" This time Trace made the right choice and moved back, it is dangerous for his elgor to stay this close to Escavalier, it quickly moved back and Escavalier couldn''t do anything as his speed is shit, he is even slower than his previous form, but for that speed that he sacrificed, he got great attack stats and very good defense and special defense. elgor shot a powerful Signal Beam at Escavalier. Julian "Counter it with sh" As the Signal Beam got closer, Escavalier just swiped his sharp pointy hand and destroyed the move in one movement. Julian "Use Bug Buzz" Julian didn''t stop this time and attacked, even though Escavalier''s special attack is not great, it is average and for a pokemon of elgor, it is enough to knock it out, the Bug Buzz was very fast and hit elgor and sent it flying backward and then crashed into the ground. Trace''s elgor fainted after that, Julian was a little relieved by seeing this, he didn''t want to hurt Trace Pokemon badly, if he used a physical attack on it, it would be directly sent to the pokemon center. Trace was shocked by this oue and looked a little disappointed, even though his Shelmet evolved, it lost so easily. Julian "Don''t feel discouraged, my Karrast was already very strong, it wouldn''t have made a difference even if my Karrast hadn''t evolved, he could still defeat your elgor, I am an experienced trainer so this oue is very clear, I hope that you will improve in future and be a strong trainer, right now you need to learn more about pokemon and gain some experience before you can take on any pokemon trainers who are already experienced" Julianforted him. Trace listened to Julian carefully and understood what Julian said, he hasn''t even started his trainer journey and he still has a long way to go before he defeats a real pokemon trainer. Trace "I understand" Julian "Good I will be leaving then, I have something else to do" Julian said and was ready to leave. Trace "Wait, what is your name?" Julian "Next time when you see my Escavalier, you will realize who I am" He said and left leaving everyone behind, he iste and he needs to get to Caitlin''s mansion as she must be waiting. Chapter 748 - Royals Julian is really happy as his Karrast finally evolved into Escavalier and he knows how powerful of a pokemon Escavalier is, with having a good defense and special defense, Julian doesn''t have to worry about Escavalier going down very easily and his attacking power should now rival Darmanitan inparison. He didn''t waste any time and headed towards Caitlin''s mansion, he looked at the card and found out that her mansion is very close to the park he is currently at, it only took him five minutes to reach his destination. ?? In front of him is a massive gate and right behind it is a long pathway made of concrete and this pathway is attached to the front entrance of the massive white mansion that belongs to none other than Caitlin. Julian didn''t know how Caitlin is able to purchase such a big mansion, he knows how much the league pays their Champions and even though it is a very high paying sry, it is not enough to buy such a massive mansion, he knows how much Cynthia gets from the league and she is one of the highest-paid Champions because of all the things she has done for the league. Compared to a Champion, the Elite Fours are paid way less and they can never afford a mansion like this with their own money, as Julian wondered about this the massive gate in front of him started to open and an old man wearing a ck butler suit walked out and bowed his head at Julian and weed his respectfully. Butler "Wee, Sir Julian, Madam Caitlin is waiting for you" The Butler said and weed Julian into the Mansion, Julian nodded his head and walked right behind him, as he looked around he noticed that the mansion is maintained properly, the garden is clean and the bushes are cleanly trimmed, he saw a few people working around the front garden, watering the ns and cutting the excess weeds. Julian then arrived right in front of the mansion''s door and right in front of the door stands a very beautiful woman wearing a beautiful dress, she is none other than Caitlin who is here to wee Julian, as Julian walked in front of her, she passed him a bouquet of flowers and greeted him like it is some kind of royal tradition. Julian excepted the bouquet with a smile and removed his mask as he thought it would be disrespectful. Caitlin "Pleasee in, Sebastian prepare something for our guest" She called Julian in and asked her Butler to bring something to eat for Julian. Butler "Yes Madam" He bowed and walked into the kitchen while dragging some maids with him as he caught them ncing at Julian from the corner of the walls. Julian walked behind Caitlin and looked around the mansion, he saw many portraits of people who looked like they belong to the royal family, he then found a picture with a man in a royal coat, a beautiful woman in a beautiful white dress and a little girl who seems to be around 8 years old in the middle of these two people. Julian realized that this little girl is none other than Caitlin. Julian ''Is she some kind of royal princess?'' He thought to himself, Caitlin noticed that Julian was looking at her portrait when she was young. Caitlin "That''s me when I was young, the ones beside me are my parents" She said. Julian "So are you some kind of royal?" Caitlin "Well I didn''t want to bring this up but I am a royal indeed, my ancestors were one of the first rulers of Unova and worked right under the King of Unova" She said revealing her heritage to Julian, Julian realized that this mansion must have been passed down from generation and now Caitlin is the owner. Caitlin "I expected you to arrive a little early" She said and while showing Julian towards the luxury red sofa in the middle of the room, Julian sat down followed by Caitlin as they looked at each other. Julian "Well something came up and I had to deal with that first" Caitlin "I understand, then, when should we head out?" She asked. She really wanted to explore the ancient ruins and monuments here in the town, with her family having such a massive rich history, she wanted to learn more about it but with the job she has, she doesn''t get much time to explore. Now that she is free and now has someone with a simr interest, she wanted to go find more about her own family history and Unova''s history. Julian "Should we head out right now?" Caitlin "Let''s eat first, Sebastian is preparing some food for us" Julian nodded and waited for the food, the Butler didn''t make them wait for long before bringing a lot of delicious food, both of them ate silently and talked about a few stuff, here and there, Julian maintained his distance from Caitlin as he knows when he gets close, Caitlin will start to like Julian more and more and the sexual tension might increase between them. Julian also has to control himself as well because Caitlin is a very beautiful woman and it will be hard for him to resist, just like Sasha''s case. After having their food, both of them decided to head out in search of ancient ruins, Caitlin asked for a few minutes to change into somethingfortable, after a few minutes, Caitlin walked out of her room wearing tight jeans that revealed her slim figure and long legs, she is wearing a blue tube top which covered her firm breast while Julian could clearly see her fit belly, her abs are very clear, her delicate shoulders are exposed. Her hair is tied up into a long ponytail, she has lost her hat and she is also wearing ck sunsses with a ck face mask covering her face. Julian gulped down his saliva as he saw how sexy Caitlin really is, she always wore a very free and loose dress that didn''t show her body much but here Julian could clearly see her sexy slim figure, it was very clear that she takes really good care of herself. Caitlin smiled as she noticed Julian staring at her, she also felt her heart beat a little faster. Cynthia ''No wonder why Cynthia fell in love with him, any woman would fall head over heels for him'' She thought while walking down the stairs. Chapter 749 - Exploration Starts Caitlin stepped in front of Julian and turned around showing Julian her outfit, Julian knows she is doing this on purpose as she is Cynthia''s friend and she wants to tease him. Caitlin "How is my dress?" ?? She asked with a mischievous smirk on her face, Julian realized what kind of character Caitlin is, on the outside she looks like a beautiful innocent maiden but from inside she is a mischievous character who would try to tease someone she knows for her own entertainment, it is not a bad habit of hers but sometimes it can be annoying. Julian "It looks good, let''s go now, do you have a car?" Julian asked. Caitlin "Car? I thought we are going to use your bike" She eximed and a little disappointed as she wanted to ride on a bike, she has never ridden on top of a bike before and she wanted to experience how it felt. Julian "I don''t know, you might get scared" Caitlin "Don''t worry I won''t I have dealt with many dangerous things" She said filled with confidence. Caitlin "And I don''t have a car either, I only travel around with my driver and I sent him away for a vacation" She said clearly lying as she wanted to ride on the bike. Julian sighed and agreed to Caitlin, he didn''t want to but deep down inside he wanted to feel Caitlin as well, after not being sexually active for such a long time, it was building up for Julian and any beautiful woman''s touch would be a present gift for him. Caitlin smiled happily under her face mask, but Julian could tell she is brimming with happiness, they both walked out of the mansion, Caitlin looked around and saw Julian''s bike parked next to the mansion gate. Caitlin "I am so excited" She said and ran towards the bike and started to check it out. Julian "Where this" Julian passed her a helmet, usually Julian doesn''t wear them because even if he gets into an ident, there won''t even be a scratch on his body but the same couldn''t be said for Caitlin, she took the helmet and wore it on top of her head. Julian got on his bike and gave his hand to Caitlin to support her, she put her leg around the bike and sat down behind Julian. Julian "Hold on tightly" Caitlin nodded and put her arms around Julian''s waist and grabbed tightly, she could feel his hard muscles and she could smell his scent, this caused her heart to beat faster, the effect Julian has on women started to take ce. Caitlin became infatuated with Julian''s smell, her face became red from excitement while she tightly grabbed onto the frame of the bike with her legs to control herself, she reminded herself that this person is her best friend''s boyfriend. Julian knew this would happen but this effect might disappear if Julian doesn''te in contact with Caitlin again and if they don''t get too physically intimate, once a woman bes physically intimate with Julian, they will fall for him and they will lose interest in any other men. Julian "Ok let''s go, where is our first stop?" Caitlin "Let''s go to the town''s museum, the museum is very old and don''t get many visitors but it has some good stuff there" She said while keeping her calm. Julian "Ok" He said and hit the throttle which lifted the front wheel causing Caitlin to panic, she yelled and grabbed on even tighter around Julian''s waist while pressing her body on his back, Julian could feel her soft breast being squeezed on his back. He tried to ignore it and continued to ride, Caitlin calmed down and loosened her grip and started to enjoy the ride, she wanted to stand up and feel the air but she was a little scared to do so, a motorcycle was more fun than any car she had driven. Caitlin directed Julian towards the museum she is talking about, it didn''t take them long before they arrived in front of this museum, Julian looked at this museum and it felt underwhelming,pared to the massive beautiful museum that he has seen before, this one looked like a normal house. It is small and the paint on the walls is peeling off, there are cracks everywhere on the wall, Julian is surprised that this ancient thing is still standing. Caitlin "Don''t judge it by how it looks, there are many old and historical things inside" She said and got off the back and Julian followed behind her, as he got closer to the museum gate he noticed something was looking at him from the shadows, he nced at the direction and noticed that a pokemon is hiding in the shadows and this one is quite powerful. Caitlin "So you noticed it, a Dusknoir guards this museum, many robbers tried to rob this museum but all of them are sent back beaten ck and blue" She said as she walked into the museum without care, Julian nced at the shadow onest time and followed right behind her, as he entered the museum he was utterly surprised by what he is seeing, this museum is filled with pokemon fossils and some of these are not even identified by pokemon professors. Chapter 750 - New Fossil Pokemon Julian is shocked, this museum is filled with fossils of pokemons he has never seen before, some of them are actually fossils that can be brought back to life by gic engineering. But to do that the scientist and pokemon professor has to learn about these pokemons DNA first, out of so many fossils only a few of them have been studied sessfully by pokemon scientists and professors. ?? Julian looked around and found many fossils that are familiar to him, some of them were owned by him and now they are living powerful pokemons, he saw Caitlin walk towards the desk at the corner of the museum and looked behind it and called out for someone. Caitlin "Mrs. Kelly" She said while looking at a very small old woman who was sleeping on top of a small bed, the old woman snorted and woke up and looked at Caitlin in surprise. Mrs. Kelly "Caitlin, what are you doing here?" Caitlin "I just came to visit and look around, I also brought someone with me" Mrs. Kelly was surprised and stood up on top of a chair and looked at the young man who was looking at the fossils kept inside the ss containers. Mrs. Kelly "Is he your boyfriend, he looks very handsome" She teased Caitlin after looking at Julian. Caitlin "No he is just a friend, he is also interested in historic stuff so I decided to bring him here to check out some ancient relics and fossils. Mrs. Kelly "Hehe, I see" She smiled and looked at Julian. Julian continued to look around and found an interesting fossil, he didn''t expect to find one here, he had thought of getting this fossil but as he looked into the inte he found out that no one was in possession of this. Not even the well-renowned museums didn''t have this fossil as it is one of the rarest pokemons fossils, the Plume fossil, this is one of the fossils that scientist spent a lot of time to study and find out its gic strands and put under the list of fossil pokemon which is a very small list. He looked at the olddy who is the owner of this museum. Julian "Excuse me, are you willing to sell this Plume Fossil?" He asked directly without beating around the bushes. Since he is interested in it, he wants to have it. Mrs. Kelly looked at the fossil Julian was pointing at and thought about it, this is the only Plume fossil she has and she knows how hard it is to find it. Even after years of searching and digging, they are hard to find, these fossils are also very oldpared to some other fossil pokemons. But she had no use for it and it would just waste its time being kept inside a ss container then be of use to someone. Mrs. Kelly "Sure, but it''s gonna cost you a lot, Plume Fossils are very rarepared to other fossils, will you be able to afford it?" She asked. Seeing how young Julian is she doesn''t think he has too much money on him. Julian "Money is not a problem, how much will it cost?" Mrs. Kelly "200000 Poke Dors" Her price was not high at all, it was very decent, these fossils are rare and the people who dig for them spend months putting their manualbor in it and the Plume fossil is one of the rarest of them all. Julian "I can do that" Saying so Julianpleted the transaction with Mrs. Kelly and got himself the Plume Fossil, Julian didn''t expect to have such a good luck today, if Caitlin hadn''t told him about this museum, this Plume fossil would have been sitting inside that ss container for years. Mrs. Kelly was also happy, she got a lot of money from Julian for a fossil she is never going to use in her lifetime. Caitlin also didn''t expect this transaction to take ce but she was happy for Mrs. Kelly as she is old and this money could help her a lot, Mrs. Kelly is that type of person who doesn''t like to get free money so Caitlin was always refused when she offered to help her, so sometimes she would buy things from Mrs. Kelly to help her. ___________________ Once the transaction waspletely Julian and Caitlin decided to leave, he found some relics inside the museum that talked about the Unova legends which helped him a lot in understanding what really happened. The history of Unova is very blurry, Julian found a lot of things but some of them didn''t match with the other, so much history but none of them were described clearly, he was a little disappointed but it didn''t matter, he got what he want and he even got himself a fossil that he cannot wait to resurrect it. Caitlin and told Julian about the other sites she has already visited, they went there and looked around to see if Julian can find anything else but he found nothing newpared to when Caitlin visited these ce, they spent a whole day together looking around the town. Julian thought that today''s venture was very fruitful, he enjoyed looking around the town and learned more about Unova''s history but he also got himself a good fossil that will be part of his pokemon team. After dropping Caitlin to her mansion Julian returned back to the seven-star hotel. Chapter 751 - Master And Slave (18+) A/N - This chapter is very long as this has explicit sex scenes, this whole chapter is just Julian and Sasha having sex, if you are not interested in reading through the sex scene please skip through because this chapter doesn''t add anything to the story except Sasha be very loyal to Julian. It has been a very long time since I wrote a sex scene and this time I went a little overboard I guess, over 2700 words in this chapter. ?? ___________________________________________________________ It''s seven am and Julian returned to the hotel, once he entered through the door he saw no one around except Sasha who is doing her job, Julian has already sent Sasha''s profile to the Unova League Headquarter''s CEO. She will be contacted by the league within a few days and until then she is working here for extra money for the extra days she is putting in. She saw Julian and greeted him with a smile like always, ever since things got awkward between them, Sasha has started to think about Julian every second of her day. Sasha "Should I prepare your dinner?" Julian ''Sure, go ahead" He agreed and went into his room andid down on his bed, after an hour the doorbell rang, Julian got off his bed and walked towards the door and opened it, he saw Sasha standing in front of him holding the food trolley, she is again wearing her very short and tight uniform revealing her very curvy body., her shirt button is open revealing her cleavage, he could also see the red bra she is wearing. Sasha walked in pushing the trolley into the room and headed towards the sofa area, just like yesterday. Julian followed right behind and sat down while looking at Sasha''s sexy body, just like yesterday, Sasha bent down to prepare Julian''s te and this caused her skirt to tighten up a lot which made her ass look plump, today she is also wearing thigh highs which caused her soft thighs to pop out at the end of it. As she bent down, even more, the same thing happened that happened yesterday, her skirt popped up again revealing her plump pussy which is only covered by a thin red-colored thong. Julian ''Shit, I can''t take it anymore'' He thought as he looked at Sasha''s plump pussy with hungry eyes, Sasha noticed that her skirt was up and got a little embarrassed, she wore this uniform to impress Julian by showing off her beautiful body but she didn''t expect them to malfunction like this every time she bends down. During the days she was very careful not to bend down and not reveal her thong and even when she didn''t the male employees of this hotel stared at her like hungry wolves, luckily no one had the courage to talk to Sasha as she is known to be very brutal to men who try to flirt with her, during her beginning days in this hotel many guys tried to hit on her but she gave them a very brutal cold rejection. She only acted this sweet and innocent in front of Julian but to the rest of the world, she is a cold bitch who would reject anyone who tries to approach her. She is embarrassed as she knows that Julian is looking at her pussy but unlike yesterday he didn''t pull her skirt down, she then remembered yesterday''s event, how Julian''s finger graced her pussy, she decided to pull her skirt down but as she was about to do so, she felt Julian grabbing onto her hand and stopping her from doing so. Julian "I think I will have this as my starter first" This took Sasha by surprise but it didn''t stop there as she suddenly felt Julian''s strong hand around her waist and he pulled her back, this jerk of motion caught her by surprise but it was not over, she suddenly felt Julian''s tongue lick her pussy softly. Pleasure traveled through her body as she let out a soft moan, she didn''t expect Julian to make a move. Sasha "...no" She said with a soft voice, she wanted to put on a show to show that she is not that easy but she wanted it more than Julian, Julian didn''t stop, he knows Sasha wanted this more than him, her constant effort to impress him by wearing revealing clothes and transparent thing thongs and showing it to his face. His tongue licked her plump pussy, they are soft and plushy, Julian could taste the wetness of her pussy through the thin fabric of her thong, he put his finger and pulled the thong aside and inserted his tongue inside her pussy and started to lick her inside. Sasha''s moan started to be louder as she held onto the table in front of her with her hands while digging into it with her nails. Sasha "~~Master~~" Sasha suddenly let out a word with her moans catching Julian by surprise, he didn''t expect Sasha''s view of him as such, she wanted him to be her master, Sasha realized what she just said and covered her mouth with her hands but her moans didn''t stop, it became louder and louder as Julian started to work his magic. Sasha''s legs suddenly trembled as she felt something escaping out of her, she came and squirted all over Julian''s face, she realized what she just did and turned around and looked apologetically at Julian. Sasha "I am sorry, Sir" She said and bowed down. Julian "What did you just call me?" Julian asked. Sasha "sir....." She said in a low tone feeling pressured. Julian "What did you call me before?" Sasha "master....." Again in a low voice. Julian "So what should you address me as?" Sasha "master....." She said embarrassed. Julian "Good but you need to be punished, clean my face" Sasha nodded and took out her handkerchief. Julian "Not like that, lick it off like a dog" Sasha was stunned but she obediently put the handkerchief away and approached Julian, Julian grabbed her waist and made her sit on top of hisp, she started to lick his face like a dog, licking of her own body fluid of Julian''s face, her tongue moved around his face and finally arrived at his lips, she licked his lips getting their taste and it was addictive, she started to lick his lips a little more. Suddenly she felt Julian grab her hair and pull her back, she looked at Julian with eyes filled with lust. Julian "Look at you, I told you to lick my face clean but you want to kiss me" Sasha "I am sorry Master, please punish me" She said. She is clearly a very submissive character and being in front of someone like Julian, these feelings inside her escted. Julian "So you want to kiss huh?" He said and suddenly pulled her front and started to kiss her, his tongue entered her mouth and started to perform his wonder, Sasha felt bliss as her mouth got yed around by Julian''s tongue, she felt her breath being sucked out of her as she felt light-headed but the pleasure was too much for her to refuse, After a minute of very aggressive kissing, she was about to lose consciousness but she didn''t want to separate herself as the pleasure in her mouth was too much, Julian suddenly pulled back leaving behind a very thick like of mixed saliva, Sasha finally took a deep breath, she then licked her lips trying to taste the saliva around her lips. She started to act like a very horny slut, Julian, on the other hand, felt very different during this process. Unlike before when he has sex with his girlfriend, he felt love for them and felt like hugging them and fill them up with his love but right now he wasn''t feeling those feelings at all. In case of Sasha, he wanted to dominate her, fuck her and make her his very one cum dumpster, he felt no love for her, he just views her as his sexual partner, his sexual ve to be more urate. He wondered why to which the system gave him the answer. System ''Host can sense the feeling of a person and provide them with ways of how they feel, this female thinks herself as someone very inferior to host, she doesn''t consider herself as someone who can be host''s lover, but she still wants to be loved in other ways by the host, such as being a ve to a master, while host''s other female partners love you with their heart and host provides them with unconditional love, the host has sensed this and has provided this female with what she wants, to be treated like a ve'' Julian nodded and grabbed her waist and put her on the ground. Julian "Now be a good girl and show me how much devoted you are" Sasha nodded and unzipped Julian''s pant revealing his huge dick, Sasha is shocked by the size of the thing that is in front of her, she grabbed it with both her hands and started to move her hand, she put her saliva on top and started to move even faster, she then gulped down on his dick and started to give her blowjob, she seems a little inexperienced while doing so as she isn''t going very deep. Julian decided to help her and grabbed her hair from behind and pushed her down, Sasha let go of his dick as it went deeper into her throat, she gagged loudly as she looked at Julian with the most slutiest face she could make, Julian didn''t let go of her head, she could feel his thick dick in her throat slowly going deeper and deeper. She started to feel light-headed again and started to lose her consciousness, Julian pulled her back as she suddenly took a deep breath as he saliva trickled down her mouth and into his dick, Julian once again shoved his dick into her mouth and started to brutalize her throat, Sasha gagged and spit out her saliva as her eyes rolled upward, she ispletely lost as her throat gets vited, after a few minutes Julian release her again as she takes another deep breath, her eyes are red as tears fall down her eyes, her ck mascara has been washed up and stained her face creating ck lines down her cheeks. Sasha takes in deep breaths as she looks at Julian, Julian could tell that she wants more, she wants him to vite her even more and Julian won''t hold back, he grabbed her hair and pulled her up, he stood up as well, he controlled her like a rag doll and Sasha didn''tin even one bit, on the other hand, she seems to be enjoying this even more than Julian as he is giving her the kind of attention she wanted. He threw her on top of the bed like a rag-doll, sheid there waiting for Julian to do things to her, Julian undressed and imed on top of the bed, Sasha is still wearing her uniform, Julian grabbed them and ripped them apart like paper, the buttons on her shirt and coats went flying, her torn up dress revealed her sexy body to Julian for the first time, her plump and soft breast, she smooth skin and juicy wet pussy, this made Julian want to fuck her even more. He removed the rest of the torn dress and tossed them aside and sat down on top of Sasha, he put his dick right in between her big breast and then grabbed her head and shoved his dick down her throat once again, he started to pile-driver her throat leaving Sashapletely helpless, she could only gag in helplessly and bliss, Julian then released a massive load deep down her throat, he removed his dick as sperm fell on her face, Sasha swallowed all his sperm, she wiped the sperm off her face and licked it again. Julian then spread her legs and started to y with her pussy with his dick, every time he tried to put it in, Sasha would get a little excited but Julian would stop and look at her, he did this three to four times. Julian "Do you want it?" Sasha "Yes master" Julian "Beg for it" Sasha "Master, please fuck me" He said while her eyes couldn''t hold back her lust at all, she is nowpletely under Julian''s influence, she wants nothing more than Julian''s dick right now. Julian "Not like that, act like a ve that you are" Julian said and pped her breast leaving his hand print on them, Sasha moaned in pleasure, there was a pleasure in her pain. Sasha "Master, please punish this little whore of yours with your dick, please vite this slutty pussy of mine with your dick" She screamed wanted it more than ever. Julian "Good" He said and shoved his dick right into her pussy, her pussy was so wet that his dick went easily inside, Sasha felt that massive dick enter her vagina and felt pleased that she has never experienced, she let out a loud moan of pleasure. If this hotel didn''t have such good soundproofing the whole hotel could hear her moans. Julian started to thrash her and Sasha could only let out moans of pleasure, she talked about her pussy being vited and how much she is loving it but her words couldn''t make sense at all, her tongue is out and her eyes rolled over. *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* *pak* The sound of Julian''s abdomen shing into Sasha''s pussy filled the room. Sasha''s pussy has been stretched and drilled like crazy but she is in bliss and doesn''t care about it at all, Julian turned her and started to doggy style her, he pressed her head into the bed and rammed her from behind, Sasha''s pussy juice flowed down her legs and stained the bed but it didn''t matter, the pounding continued. He then lifted her up and pressed her against the wall while lifting her legs up and started to smash her soft plump pussy again, her moans didn''t stop, her saliva was everywhere, she was in a state of true bliss. Julian put a massive load inside her pussy while she came multiple times, but it didn''t stop, Julian fucked her for hours, he let her rest for five minutes before fucking her again, he broke her mind, are so many months without sex, Julian went a little out of control. Hepletely broke Sasha, now she will never look at any man at all, her master, Julian is the only man who is allowed to touch her in her life. After four hours of continuous sex Julian finally stopped as he was released, he looked at Sasha who haspletely lost her find after that, she would never forget this, she will crave for it again. Julian "Hey who is going to clean my dick" Julian said and pressed his dick on her face, Sasha got on her knees as her legs are still shaking, Julian''s cum is flowing out of her pussy and dripping down, Sasha started to lick his dick and clean it by giving one more blowjob. Julian ''Show me your most slutiest face while sucking on my dick" Sasha looked at Julian while sucking on his dick, Julian took his phone and clicked her photo, Sasha didn''t mind at all, Julian could even humiliate her in public and she would like it, she became very submissive for Julian. But Julian clicked this photo to send it to his girlfriends, they wanted him to record a video but he didn''t he was too busy destroying her plump pussy, he then sent it to them in their private group chat. It is 2 AM midnight but his girlfriends still received the picture and saw it. Chloe "Holy shit, look at her sucking my man''s dick, this is making me horny" She said and sent back a picture of her fingering her pussy. Daisy "I also want to be there" Daisy said and sent a picture of her boobs while she pinched her nipples. Cynthia "I miss that dick, I aming to you as soon as possible" Cynthia said and sent a picture of her putting a dildo inside her pussy, seeing this picture Julian released another load inside Sasha''s mouth which she gulped down happily. After gulping it whole she passed out from exhaustion, she had used herst bit of energy to give him that final blowjob, seeing this Julian put Sasha to the side and let her sleep, he then walked towards the table where the food is kept, it is already turned cold, after more than four hours of continuous none stop sex, the food would have definitely turned cold. But Julian still ate it as he didn''t like to waste food, once he was done he joined Sasha in bed and fell asleep. Chapter 752 - Buying Mansion Julian opened his eyes and found a surprise waiting for him, Sasha was between his legs sucking his dick again, she didn''t get enough yesterday and passed out and she wants more now, she is sucking his dick as she will never get it again. Julian "What are you doing?" ?? He asked. Sasha started to say something but it just came out like gibberish sounds while she was slurping down on his cock, he grabbed her hair and pulled her up. Sasha "Master''s dick was so stiff so I wanted to help" She said. Julian shoved his dick back into her mouth and let her continue. Since she is already so into it why not let he finish and a morning blowjob is always weed. Julian also realized that he broke Sasha, he could see it in her eyes, the way she was looking at him was not normal, it was not how one human looked at other, he could tell she worshiped him more than ever. Before she was impressed by Julian''s looks and his ability now she wholeheartedly worships him like a god. He rememberedst night and knew he went too far, all that built-up sexual tension that was stored inside his body burst out and he ravaged Sashast night and broke her, luckily Julian can control his body like no other human, he can kill his sperm so they don''t impregnate women if he doesn''t want to, if no, with the amount of sperm that Julian put inside Sasha, he would not be surprised if she became pregnant with more than two babies. Sasha continued slurping down his dick as her saliva covered his abdomen, now that Julian was in the mood again, he got up and pinned down Sasha on the bed and started to fuck her again, Sasha just moaned louder and louder as her pussy got destroyed, he continued for four rounds before finally putting another massive load inside her. Sasha was already not in perfect shape afterst night and now these four rounds finally put her on the bed motionless, her legs have given up and her pussy is as red as one can but she is in bliss from the pleasure that Julian provided her. Julian "Rest here for the day, no need to go anywhere, with your current condition it''s best for you to be in that bed then go outside working with those sore legs" He said and looked at Sasha who isying on the bed, her mouth open, her tongue out and lost in bliss, his cum is leaking out of her pussy staining the bed. Sasha "yeg mazte" She said something that one couldn''t understand but Julian understood, he didn''t feel anything for Sasha, but a strange feeling did take ce in his heart, Sasha is now his property and anyone thatys their hand on her might get badly hurt. Julian didn''t know what to think of this emotion but this body of his waspletely independent of his thought process and he tries his best to keep up with it. Julian walked out of the room leaving naked Sasha behind, and went down the hotel, he saw another receptionist standing in the ce that belonged to Sasha, this is also a woman, even though as not as beautiful and sexy as Sasha, she can still get a lot of attention. He could already see some men who work around the hotel already trying to flirt with her, just yesterday these men were looking at Sasha while she was wearing her very provocative uniform that was to impress Julian. He ignored them and decided to go look around the town and buy a mansion for himself. Since he had money why would he not use it, its good to be selfless and help others but sometimes it''s ok to be shellfish, people alwaysin about not having too much and when they see someone who has more than them, they me them for not helping the poor, but what they do not understand it that even these people who have too much in other''s eyes don''t have much either. That is why they always try to earn more, so it''s ok for rich people to be selfish, its ok because they are humans and they have their own desire and selfishness and they can fulfill it better than other people, that is all the difference between a rich man and a poor man. At the end of the day, both of them don''t have enough, the reason why Julian continued to build his financial empire is because he knows, he will never have enough, he has enough money to buy things that he wants but is it enough? No. At the end of the day Julian is human, a little more, a little more, and a little more, his financial empire will keep growing, and even when it reaches its peak, he will still not enough. After finding some mansions that are for sell, he contacted the dealers to talk to them, when these dealers learned that someone wants to buy a mansion, they were really happy and excited, someone just doesn''t buy a mansion every day, sometimes just one mansion takes years to sell so even a person who is just interested in looking at a mansion is big. Many dealers soon reached out to Julian and sent some more pictures to Julian to show them things that are not on the site, Julian circled down a few ones that were massive and beautiful and met the dealers, after a day of looking around he finally bought one. The mansion cost him 45 million poke dors but being a billionaire he could spend this kind of money, Jim called him suddenly to confirm about this transaction as it is a big one, after being confirmed he sighed and ended the call, he didn''tin because it was Julian''s money and he couldn''t even me him because Jim himself owns multiple mansions across different regions. Being one of the richest and sessful men in this world, it was nothing. Once Julian bought, he spent sometimes in his new mansion looking around and informed his girlfriends as well, when they learned about it, they were surprised but they were also a little excited to check this mansion out, especially Cynthia, whenever she looked at these beautiful mansions in Unde town, she always wanted to buy one but she didn''t have the money, but her boyfriend bought one for all of them. They sent him lots of love over the phone but first, they scolded him on why he spent so much money, Julian didn''t p back by saying what about the money they spend on their clothes that they don''t even wear after putting it for one night. He still has so many of their dresses inside his dimensional pouch because they never asked for it and didn''t want to wear it. After he was done here, he went to the nearest forest to train his pokemons, its been a few days since he has trained his pokemons, he only let them out when it was time to feed them and let them y for a while, he kept all of them inside his Pokeball for most of the time because of certain incidents that took ce with Sasha. Since she is staying in his room, it might get steamy any moment and Julian doesn''t want his pokemons to see them do stuff. Even Crystal was put into its Pokeball, once they were out they started to y again. While Julian got ready to train his pokemons. Chapter 753 - Time To Revive Julian''s main concern right now is Larvesta and Axew, while Axew is learning new things, he still has a little more to learn before he is ready to evolve, while Larvesta on the other hand is growing very fast. Being a bug type pokemon had its specialties, they grow strong at an extremely fast rate at beginning levels, he also needs a lot of time before he catches up to Axew and then the others. ?? With a few more hours under the clock, Julian started to train them, he trained them a lot before heading back to the seven-star hotel, the same receptionist was still there doing her job, she looks a little tired as she has been working the whole day. Sasha should have been here to take over but she didn''te, the manager told her that Sasha quit and she is only doing this job for extra payment, she could quit and take leave whenever she wants. The receptionist looked a little tired when she saw Julian enter she smiled and nodded at him, she knew who he was, the whole hotel knew that the Julian is staying here but none of them were allowed to tell anyone about this as it will go against their hotel''s rules. Everyone wanted to impress Julian and talk to him but no one was allowed to, the only people who got the privilege was Sasha. Since she is the most beautiful, sexy, and educated out of them all, the manager decided her to be the one to interact with Julian and maybe help them build up their hotel''s name even more and make Julian one of their regr customers. Too bad the manager''s n backfired and Sasha became Julian''s property, when the manager heard that Sasha wants to quit, he didn''t know what to do except epting her resignationter. Julian went back to his room and he got weed by the hot Sasha, she is wearing her underwear from yesterday because Julian tore off her clothes. Sasha "Master, wee back" She said and greeted him. Julian "Looks like you don''t have any clothes" Sasha "You tore it master" She said. Julian "Hmm, I have some clothes, you can leave after wearing them" Julian passed her a pair of clothes that belonged to Chloe as both of them are familiar in size, Sasha wanted to stay here a little more but she didn''t want to go against Julian''s word, she wore the dress and walked away. Julian "The league will contact you by tomorrow, don''t disappoint me" Sasha nodded her head and decided to give it her all for Julian''s shake as she wants to work under him, not under the league. Once Sasha left, Julian sat down on the bed, he noticed that Sasha has cleaned up the room and changed the sheet of the bed, with all the mess that was on the previous bed sheet, Julian would have slept on the sofa, he walked to the bathroom and found the dirty bed sheetpletely washed and dried. Julian had to admit that Sasha was a responsible person, imagine if Julian just left the hotel with that dirty bed sheet, what would the thought process of the people who woulde to clean the room after that. Since Sasha left, Julian ordered the food, and this time the person who came to deliver it was the girl he saw at the reception, he took the food and sent her away, he didn''t need another woman in his bed today. After eating his food, he took out the pokemon fossil that he bought yesterday from the museum, he wanted to study this fossil to see if there is anything he could learn from it, too bad Julian has no idea about how to study fossils, he has seen people do it and thought that he might be able to find something. Since he couldn''t find anything he decided to find a ce that revives fossil pokemons. He looked around the inte and found out that Lentimas town has a research facility and people can go there to revive fossil pokemons but they charge money for it. Julian is not bothered by it, previously when he revived fossil pokemons, it was when he was around people who knew him or people wanted to impress him and decided to revive one for free. Julian doesn''t know if they will revive this one for free but it didn''t matter, he had money, he could buy their service. Having his n for the future set, Julian went to sleep after eating, next morning he woke up and got ready to leave the town, the league informed him that they will arrive to take Sasha in today, even Sasha confirmed that she got a call from the league and is getting ready to go with the league. Julian gave it an ok and left the town, he didn''t bother to say his goodbye to Caitlin as he didn''t feel much for her for their rtion to get serious. Since Lentimas town is very close to Unde town, it didn''t take him even a day to reach there on his bike, he didn''t waste any time and found the researchb that revives the pokemon fossil. Julian stood in front of the researchb and looked around, in front of a building stood a massive man who seems to be a guard, Julian walked up the building and the guard just looked at him and checked if he had any weapons on him, once he was clear, the guard let him in. Julian walked in and found a number of scientist working on their projects and sharing their notes, some of them noticed Julian entering the researchb but most of them didn''t bother to interact with him, a man saw Julian and walked towards him. "Young man, what is your purpose to visit thisb?" The Old man asked. These people are private workers so for money they either take jobs from massive corporations who ask them to perform some research and other stuff or revive pokemon fossils of extra money. Julian looked at their current state and decided to hide his identity, they are not a massive team and their equipment is not the best so it would be bad if Julian makes them revive his pokemon for free. Julian "I want to revive a fossil pokemon" "Oh, it will cost you 100000 Poke dors" The old man warned him, not many people want to revive fossil pokemons if they are in the position of one, they will rather sell it than revive it, with the money Julian has spent on this fossil, he could have trained a wild pokemon he can catch out in the wild to a champion level pokemon. The people who revive these pokemons are either rich people who want to show off their unique pokemons or either want to disy in pokemon parks as unique pokemons. Julian "That''s doable" "I see, which fossil is it?" Julian "Plume Fossil" "Interesting,e with me then" The old man was surprised but this was not the first time he has revived a Plume fossil. Julian followed the man towards the revival machine that was on the edge of the room while few scientists were working next to it. "You two, help me" The old man called them and then looked at Julian signaling him to hand over the fossil pokemon, Julian nodded and took out the massive fossil from his pouch and ced it on top of the machine. Chapter 754 - A New Member After cing the pokemon fossil on the revival machine, the scientist started to do their magic, the two scientists started to run a program that is based on gic code, Julian waited and watched as the old man who is also the chief of thisb took control over the machine. The machine started and white light covered the whole capsule, Julian looked at the screen and saw a representation of DNA strands being split and fused together, Julian was impressed by this and looked more into it. ?? As he saw this a doubt rose inside his head, he always wondered why all fossil pokemons have a rock typing, it could not be possible that all pokemons that were extinct millions of years ago were rock types. Julian "I have a question?" Old Man "What is it?" Julian "Why are all fossil pokemons rock type or have a rock typing?" Old Man "Well it''s because they are revived from fossils, during the time these pokemons were alive and thriving, they had different typing in the past, but after their death, their remaining have been invaded by earth materials, so they always have a rock typing, not because they were rock type pokemons but because their DNA has been fused with earth material over millions of years. The current technology is not advanced enough to split these materials to bring our their true typing, but it is not something impossible because technology is improving at an extreme rate, or if one can also find a fossil that has not been invaded by these earthly materials, one can maybe revive an ancient pokemon with its true typing" The old man gave a deep exnation to this, Julian understood this and nodded his head, it made sense, maybe to some ancient pokemons this might be a huge advantage, gaining a new rock typing, it gives them good defense and attack stats, so if a special of ancient pokemoncked these stats, if they are revived, they might have an advantage or disadvantage. No one knows how it will affect them. Julian continued to watch as the white light started to brighten up more filling up the entire room, all the scientist present in the room looked at the revival machine and waited for the pokemon to revive, soon the light started to fade away and Julian could see the outline of a small reptile/bird inside the capsule. Once the lightpletely faded away, it revealed the pokemon inside the capsule that has been just revived, an Archen. Julian got really excited as he saw this pokemon, in real life it looked much better than those he has seen in the picture. Its lizard-like head with small teeth peaking out of its mouth, it''s big bird eyes and its body covered with feathers, standing about 50 cm tall, this is the Archen he wanted and he got lucky to find one. The Archen looked around the room and saw weird beings in front of it, it was its first time seeing anything in this world and it was surrounded by beings that didn''t look like it at all, it then saw a being walk towards it with a smile and for some reason, it felt happier, the aura around this being was much present and weingpared to the others surrounding it. Julian picked up the Archen and looked at it to check its sex. Julian "It''s a male" He said but it didn''t matter, when ites to pokemon there is no differencepared to male and female, there are only a few special of pokemon that show physical or size difference but the rest is all the same. To Julian, the sex of a pokemon didn''t matter, he could train any gender to their best limit, the Archen seems happy to be around Julian, being just a newborn, the aura around Julian made it feel happy and protected under him so it got attached to Julian very quickly. Julian then turned towards the old man and thanked him while Archen in his hand, after paying theb Julian walked out of theb while looking at his new pokemon who is also looking back at him with his bird eyes. He has big round eyes but his pupils are so small that it makes him look like a goof, Julian smiled and decided to go catch another pokemon for his team that can be found in this town, his other purpose toe to this side of the region was to catch pokemon as well. He got lucky and found two pokemons that joined his team and he wants one more before he heads towards the west side of the region. While he was looking at his phone to see where this pokemon he is looking for can be found, Archen started to peck his phone screen, as a phone was also something very mysterious to a baby pokemon and anything that he saw grabbed his attention and piqued his interest. Julian just smiled seeing this, and continued his search, Crystal who was sleeping woke up and noticed another new presence around it, it popped its head out and found a weird-looking pokemon in Julian''s hand. Crystal got excited and came right in front of Archen and startled him, Crystal approached Archen and gave it a tiny hug as it already knew that this is its new friend amongst its growing friend list. Archen also liked the little hug and suddenly chomped down on Crystal''s tiny head, Crystal was startled and tried to get out without hurting Archen, Julian saw this andughed, he helped Crystal get out of Archen''s jaw. It looks like Crystal is upset as it went back inside Julian''s pocket with puffed cheeks. Julian smiled and looked at his phone finally finding a suitable ce to find his next pokemon. Chapter 755 - Another Pokemon For The Team Julian first decided to put Archen in a new Pokeball before he heads towards his new destination which is right outside the town, he let Archen get used to the outside world before he sends him inside a Pokeball. He took out a Pokeball and pressed it on top of Archen''s head and put him inside his new Pokeball. ?? Archen didn''t know what was happening but he didn''t put up a fight since he trusted Julian as he felt safe around him, to a newborn feeling safe is the most important instinct to them and Julian gave off this feeling to pokemons. After putting Archen into his own Pokeball Julian headed south of the town towards a shrine that can be found there, it is called the Abundant Shrine, the area around this Shrine is known for having pokemons with Ghost, Psychic, and Dark typing. The pokemon Julian is looking for is a Golett, the Ground/Ghost-type pokemon, these pokemons when they evolve to their final stage are known for their very high physical stat and good defense and special defense, and with their size and weight, they can bully around most of the pokemon that it faces. The only drawback of these pokemon is their speed and special attack, not too bad but not average either, it was just there in the middle but Julian has experience in training huge bulky pokemons with high attack stats, just like his Snox and Tyranitar. Julian sat on his bike and made his way towards the south of the town to where the shrine is situated, it didn''t take him long but the route to the shrine was hard to ride on, the road was bumpy and most of the time, the front wheel of his bike never touched the ground. When he arrived there he sensed many eyes on him, all of these are pokemons but most of them will just watch from far as most of them don''t like to interact with humans. Julian arrived right in front of the shrine and looked at it. this shrine is abandoned and it looks very old, there are nts growing out of its walls and cracks are all over its pir, Julian could also tell that a lot of ghosts and psychic type pokemons inhabit this part of the area. These type of pokemons only inhabit ces like this if something bad has happened here, maybe this could have been a burial ground, or many people and pokemon might have died here. Julian could feel the chilly air in the surrounding, the air is cold and the atmosphere is gloomy, the perfect ce to find ghost, dark or psychic type pokemons as they thrive in this kind of atmosphere while feeding on the chilly aura around them. Julian got off his bike and put it away, he knows that he might get jumped by Ghost-type pokemons as they are known to cause trouble but Gengar who is in the shadow is keeping an eye on all of the pokemons that are around Julian. He looked around the area and found some ghost type pokemons and some of them were promising but Julian is looking for a Golett, its not hard to find them but sometimes when someone wants to catch a certain pokemon, they will find every other pokemon except the one they are searching for and Julian is experiencing the same. He is a little frustrated but he has no given up. Since he couldn''t find one outside, maybe he could find one inside the shrine, without wasting any time he walked into the shrine, the inside of the shrine was very dark so Julian asked Crystal to light up the path for him, to his surprise the shrine was very big and it was mostly built underground like any other ancient shrine. This shrine was built to worship a pokemon that Julian has heard about in Unova''s legends but never seen one, Landorus. Julian has heard about this legendary pokemon, it belongs to the Nature trio, Julian heard about their legends and how powerful these pokemons actually are. He looked at the carvings on the wall while looking out for pokemons, he encountered some but they were not Golett so Gengar chased them away by scaring them, as he was about to reach the end of the shire and disappointment was about to set in, he finally found the pokemon he was looking for. A Golett. When the Golett noticed that a human has entered its territory, it got aggressive and suddenly attacked Julian out of nowhere. Julian realized that this one is feisty and aggressive but he was also impressed by its power, he will have a little trouble to get this Golett fully under his control, it is no big deal. Julian took out a Pokeball and sent out Axew for the battle, this will be Axew''s first battle against an opponent that he doesn''t know under Julian''s training. Axew saw a new pokemon standing in front of him, he realized that this a battle and Julian will be backing him up. Axew observed the Golett in front of him and got serious, he could feel how aggressive the pokemon in front of it is and he has to give it his all to take it down. Julian "Axew, use Dual Chop" Axew charged at the Golett as his two arms glowed blue, surrounded with Dragon energy, seeing the iing attack the Golett used Shadow Punch to counter. Both of them shed and to Axew''s surprise he won the exchange, he sent the Golett flying backward, he looked at his arms and back at Julian, he never thought that he has grown this strong, even he is surprised by the growth he has gone through. When he faced against other pokemons that Julian have he always lost but Julian alwaysforted him, now he realized how strong he has really gotten,pared to his previous self he is much more powerful. The Golett got back to its feet angrier than before, it again charged at Axew and jumped at him and used Mega Kick, Julian was surprised by this, this is a very powerful move and he is surprised that this Golett knows this. Julian "Dodge and use Dragon w" Axew moved out of the Mega Kick''s way as it is not that hard, after dodging, Axew shed at the Golett''s stomach sending it flying and crashing into the wall. Chapter 756 - Tough Catch Seeing Golett crashed into the wall, Julian quickly took out a Pokeball and tossed it at the fallen Golett, the Pokeball captured Golett and started to shake around, and it took very long. It is clear that the Golett is trying to fight back, it wants to go all out, as Julian watched, the Pokeball started to slow down and the beeps slowed down as well, as Julian thought that the catch was sessful, the Pokeball broke and the Golett broke out of it. ?? Julian is surprised by this, this Golett is even more resistant than he thought, it wants to go all out till the end. Julian "Axew, use Dragon Pulse" Since the Golett is already at itsst leg Julian decided to go easy with a weak move, even though Dragon Pulse is a strong move, Axew is not a special attacker so Dragon Pulse won''t cause too much damage. Seeing another attacking towards it, the Golett got angry and suddenly used Ice Punch, it punched the Dragon Pulse with Ice Punch and destroyed it, Julian is once again surprised that this Golett is still able to continue battling. The Golett charged at Axew using Ice Punch again. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse, then Dual Chop" Axew sted another Dragon Pulse at the charging Golett and stopped it right in its tracks, its Ice Punch exploded and stopped it in its track and then Axew charged at it while using Dual Chop andnded two powerful hits and sent it crashing on the wall again. Julian thought it is over and tossed another Pokeball at the Golett and caught it again but after a few seconds, the Golett broke out of it again. This time Julian is shocked, he thought it was over but it wasn''t, this Golett was putting up a fight no wild pokemon has ever before, the more the fought back the greater the desire to catch it became for Julian. Julian smiled as he saw Golett getting out of his Pokeball again, Golett has destroyed two of his pokeballs. Julian "Axew, use Dragon w" Axew once again moved in for the attack without giving Golett time to fix itself, Golett knew that it is close to going down so it decided to go all out, it roared which sounded like a very loud low tone horn, it raised its arm and decided to go out using Hammer Arm. Hammer Arm is a very powerful move but it will slow down the user after they use, both pokemon shed again, Axew the stronger out of the two while Golett was using the stronger move, as both shed a shockwave broke apart and the sound traveled all over the shrine and outside the area, scaring almost every pokemon in the surrounding. Both Axew and Golett were sted back, Julian thought this is the end but it was not, the Golett stood back again, this Golett didn''t want to go down. Julian "Axew, finish this, use Night sh" Golett couldn''t move as it is tired and exhausted but it still wanted to fight back, it lifted its arm as Ice started to form around its hands but Axew has already appeared in front of it, it tried to hit Axew but he was too fast, the Night shnded right on its chest and Golett went down for good this time. Julian tossed another Pokeball and waited, he is on edge because even if a pokemon is knocked out, they cane to conscious within seconds and try to break free, seeing how resilient the Golett was, Julian thought of this possibility. Soon the beeping of the Pokeball slowed down and the ball finally stopped and emitted a loud chime confirming the catch. Julian sighed as he caught another great pokemon for his team. He picked up his Pokeball and walked out of the shrine with a smile on his face, with this new pokemon in his team, now he has eight pokemon. Darmanitan, Escavalier, Gigalith, Excadrill, Larvesta, Axew, Archen, and now Golett, he still has a pokemon in this mind that he wants to catch but he doesn''t know where to find them, they can be spotted all over Unova but they are very rare, Julian will just have to get lucky if he wants to encounter them he will have to get lucky. Julian wanted to do more as well, like looking for Kyurem but he realized that he has beengging behind when ites to challenging gyms and collecting badges and he needs to get back to the track before the league starts. He returned back Lentimas town and got himself a room to stay for the night. Since he has already decided that he needs to get back to collecting gym badges, he booked a fight to Driftveil City which is where the next gym is. Julian decided to battle with the new pokemon he has caught so they will have to go through a lot of training before they can take on the gym leader of Driftveil gym. After a day of rest and looking around the town, Julian headed towards the airport and boarded it to Driftveil city, it took a few hours before he finally reached the city, now he is in the west side of Unova. Yesh had told him that he is already in Icirrus city and he has defeated the gym leaders of Driftveil and Mistralton city. Julian "Well I need to get back on track but I did get some good pokemons for my team" Chapter 757 - Rising Sexual Desires Julian looked outside the ne''s window and saw Driftveil city right below him, this city is quite big but from the high Julian is in right now, everything looks so small, he can only make out the different areas in the city, he couldn''t separate individual buildings but the view was great. The ne started to descend down and an announcement started to y through the speakers, it was a female voice, it seems to be the pilot herself, she told the passengers and crew members to take their seat and wear their seat belt. ?? The ne took a few minutes before itnded on the ground, Julian looked at the hot air hostess and remembered his time with his new servant Sasha, what he did to her was still very clear in his mind, he put the thought aside and watched as the air hostess instructed the passengers to get out slowly and not to push each other. The door of the pilot cab opened and the pilot walked out and when Julian saw her, he is surprised, he knows who this person is, it is none other than the gym leader of Mistralton City, her name is Sk and she is a very hot girl, 18 years old, standing 5 feet 6 inches tall, brown sky, thick ass, nice breast, she can be a very hot bikini model but she is a Pilot and also a gym leader. Julian saw that people are starting to get off the ne so he also joined the crowd, he didn''t expect to see a gym leader in the ne and to a pilot, he also noticed that she is very famous among people and it is clearly visible. When the passengers saw that it was Sk they got excited and started to greet her, and on top of that, she was very famous amongst the teenage demographic, especially boys because she is very sexy. Sk also put a very friendly face when she greeted her fans, most of these young men are perverts as they try to take a nce as Sk''s hot body, as Julian got close to the door Sk thanked him for flying with her just like any other passenger. Julian nodded at her and walked past her. Sk paused for a second and looked at Julian''s back. Sk ''Isn''t he the Julian?'' Sk realized who he was as she saw his eyes, she could never forget those eyes, she has watched Julian multiple times and she was always fascinated by how his eyes looked, they were the most charming things she had ever seen. She told the air hostess to take care of the rest of the passengers as she chased behind Julian, as Julian was about to exit the airport, he felt a hand on his shoulder, as he turned around he saw the girl he saw before on the ne, it was Sk. Sk "You are Julian right" She said excitedly, hearing this Julian got surprised and suddenly put his hand on her mouth, picked her up, and took her to the side of the airport where no one is here, as he looked around he felt a lick on his hand. Julian got stunned as saw that his arm is wrapped tightly around Sk''s fit waist, his other hand around her lips, Julian looked at Sk and saw her looking at him with the side of her eye in a very weird manner, Julian knows what it look is, it is how his lovers looked at him when he was doing them. Julian ''Pervert'' Just one thought came in Julian''s mind but he was in no position to say it to her, he is a massive pervert as well, he realized that she is still licking his hands but instead of pulling it away, he stuck his finger right in her mouth and yed with her tongue, Julian didn''t this unintentionally but he was so surprised that Sk was ok with this, they haven''t even talked and she is already letting him do this. He yed with her tongue and then he suddenly used his other hand to grab her pussy area tightly, Sk moaned but with Julian''s hand around her mouth she couldn''t let it out, he could feel how wet her pussy was but Julian suddenly stopped anding to realization what he is doing. He let go of her and turned her around to face him. Julian ''My sexual drive has gone up again'' Julian sighed while looking at Sk, her mouth is still open with her saliva dripping down. Julian ''Damn she is hot'' Julian thought and decided to forget it. Julian "Sorry for that, I got carried away" Sk also licked away her saliva and looked at Julian, she wanted to get fucked by him but she knew this is not the right ce. Sk "Sorry, I also got a little carried away" Julian "That''s ok, it happens sometimes but be careful not to call my name in public next time" Sk ''Sure no problem" She said with a cheerful face, seeing this Julian is really surprised, right just a second ago her face was like a sex freak filled with lust and within a second she turned into this innocent happydy. Sk "So what are you doing here?" She asked excitedly. Julian ''Of course, I am here to challenge the gym of course" Sk "Great, I can''t wait to see you battle against y" She said cheerfully, Julian couldn''t understand her at all, one she was a pervert but she could act as the most innocent dumb girl as a girl can be. But there was something inside Julian that was being born, to make Sk submit to him just like Sasha. Julian ''These emotions are weird but I don''t hate it at all, thank god my girlfriends understand this so they let me fuck any girl I want but when I take interest or fall in love with one, that is when they step in, I don''t know what is happening to them but they are slowly changing, it is as if they don''t care about anything but me and my happiness, I want to make them happy as well and I know just what to do'' Julian thought and smiled. Sk saw this and felt that Julian is smiling at her and got a little excited as well. Julian put his attention back on Sk and he knew what he wanted to do with this sexy hot gym leader, he wants to make her submit to him. Chapter 758 - Lustful Girl Sk "So where are you going?" She asked as she is very much curious about Julian''s actions. ?? Julian "To find somece to stay, a hotel maybe" He said and turned around, decided to leave her alone for now. Sk "Wait, why don''t youe with me, I have a penthouse here, you can stay there without wasting any money" She gave him an option, Julian looked at her and thought about it, if he goes with her, he will have more chance to make Sk fall under his control, there is one more advantage to Sking under him, he will have another person who will be able to look into the league''s matter except for Cynthia. Since Cynthia is a champion, she has a great influence over the league but just like Cynthia there are other champions as well, so her standing is not unique there, there are still somethings that Cynthia doesn''t know, the more eyes Julian have inside the league, the better. Since Sk is a gym leader she has some influence in the Unova league''s headquarters and she can pull some pieces of information without being found out by the league, the more people he has inside the better, he has even thought of making Caitlin one of his own. The only thing holding him back is her rtionship with his girlfriend Cynthia. He decided to go with her, since she is ready to provide a ce to stay, why deny it, he could already tell she is a pervert and that helps Julian a lot, he can control her more easilypared to others. Julian "Sure, why not" He agreed to her request, listening to Julian''s answer Sk got excited. Sk "Then let''s go,e with me" She said and skipped off towards the exit, Julian covered his face again and walked behind Sk, he kept some distance from her because some people would walk towards her and ask her for a photo or autograph, she is quite famous but not to the level of Julian and other champions. Soon they arrived at the car park where her car is parked, she took out her car keys and unlocked her car, Julian looked at the car and realized that this girl is a huge spender as well, its a matt ck supercar. Julian likes supercars and knows how great they are but he doesn''t think of them as a practical choice, he would rather buy an SUV that can do both off and on-road. Sk "Do you want to drive?" She asked and tossed the key at Julian, he caught it and looked at the key, even the key looks expensive. Julian "Sure why not" He said and got into the driver seat, this is the first time he is inside a supercar, the seats are not the best and he feels a little cramped inside but the feeling that he got was really unique, these cars are really not made for people who are tall, maybe short people can befortable while sitting inside but people with Julian''s height are taller will have a tough time. Sk got on the passenger seat and smiled at him, he started the engine and put it on gear, the car started to move, Julian knows these things go fast so he was careful while taking it out of the car park, once he was out he started to drive it properly and he was impressed by how good the car drove. While Julian is riding, Sk is looking at him with that look again. Sk "Can we have sex?" She suddenly asked. Hearing this Julian was stunned, this girl was too straight forward, he has never heard words like this from a girl, even if they wanted to initiate the sex first, they would never say something like Sk said, they would rather give of signals so Julian can take the first step. Julian looked at her and decided to y her game and smiled at her. Sk "Why are smiling, do you want to do it?" Julian "No" Hearing him Sk is surprised, just a few minutes ago he was grabbing her pussy and now he rejected her, she didn''t understand, no man has ever rejected her before. Sk "But why?" She asked. Julian "Hmm, you are not a good girl, be a good girl and I might think about it" He said and continued driving. Sk looked at him and suddenly did something very unexpected, she used each finger from both of her hands and stretched out her mouth while putting her tongue out. Sk "I can be any type of good girl you want" She said. Even though her speech was not perfect while doing so Julian understood her, he looked at her surprised again, she was more slutty that he thought, she only wanted to have sex with him and nothing else. Julian "You are a slut, I didn''t expect this from a gym leader" Sk "Well I didn''t n to show this side of mine to a stranger but the way you touched me down here, I cannot resist you now, your hand is magical, and on top of that this runs in my family, my mother was like this as well and she told me her mother was like this as well, I saw my mother having sex with multiple men when my father was not around. When I saw her doing so, she didn''t defend her, she told me I will be the same as well" She said while touching her own pussy. Julian "That''s too much information and I don''t need your family background but you are one horny girl, so how many sex partners do you have?" Sk "Till now, I only have had sex with thirty men" Julian "Hmm, that''s not much for such a horny girl like you" Sk "Well, I have to maintain my image as a gym leader, I cannot just fuck anyone, the men I fucked signed a contract before doing anything with me, so if they talk their career is over for good" Julian "You are shady as well, that face of yours doesn''t suit your personality" He said. Sk "Hehe" She giggled and put up her innocent dumb cute girl''s face showing how good she was. Julian ''She can be a very useful servant, I need to make her mine'' He thought and drove down the road. Chapter 759 - Punishment Julian and Sk arrived at her penthouse, her penthouse also looks expensive just like her car, she got out of her car while showing off her th ass to Julian but he didn''t give her much attention that she wanted. He wantedplete submission from Sk and seeing how she is right now, he will have to pressure her a little till she finally caves in. ?? He followed behind her as she shook her th ass from left to right, she wanted to seduce Julian whenever she got the chance, they both walked to the penthouse, Sk opened the door and walked in and Julian followed right behind. As he looked around he realized how beautiful this house is, everything was well designed and modern, this house must have cost a lot but it didn''t matter to Julian, the house was just pleasing to the eye. Sk "Do you need something to eat?" She asked. Julian "Sure, why not" Sk "Ok" She hops off towards her room while Julian takes a seat on the couch and looks around, he could hear Sk''s humming voice in his ear clearly, he knows what she is up to but it doesn''t matter to him, he decided to eat first before heading out to the city and check it out before he challenges the gym here. Julian noticed that Sk headed towards the kitchen next but he didn''t bother to take a look at her, soon he could smell the good smell of the cooked food, soon he heard footsteps heading towards him, he turned his head and finally saw Sk. She is wearing a very revealing loose t-shirt, the neck hole on her t-shirt is very stretched, Julian can actually see the side of her nipples and she is not even wearing a bra as the bulge of her nipples are clearly visible, on top of that she is only wearing blue underwear to cover her pussy. She bent down to ce the food on the table and Julian is able to see her breast clearly through that massive neck hole of her shirt. Julian ''Those are some massive breast'' He thought as he saw them hanging from her body, those tight blue uniform that she wears is not giving her breast any justice, theypress her breast and make them look smaller than they are, these breasts are even bigger than Chloe and Sasha''s. Sk "Do you like them?" She asked as she is clearly specifying her breast. Julian "The food looks good" Julian ignored her and looked at the food she prepared for him. Julian "And what are you wearing, aren''t you feeling toofortable in front of me?" He asked. Sk smiled and sat on the opposite side of the couch and suddenly spread her legs while licking her fingers. Sk "You know, you can have something even better than that food" She said and start rubbing her pussy, Julian has never seen a girl hornier than this girl, seeing that Sk is still being so forward, Julian decided to y with her. Julian "Come here" He called her, Sk got excited and walked towards Julian and stood in front of him, her slutty expression is really arousing but Julian controlled himself. Julian "Sit down here" Julian opened his legs and revealed a spot on the couch between his legs, Sk nodded and sat down happily, as she sat down, Julian put his legs around her and suddenly stretched her legs leaving her blue panty wide open, Julian could already see the wet stain on it, she is really horny right now. Julian then put his hand around her stomach and started to rub her while he took his other hand and shoved it inside her mouth. Sk moaned. Julian then moved his hand from her stomach and put it inside her t-shirt and started to fondle her breast, as he touched them he realized that her breast is so soft and plump, as he grabbed them, his finger just went deep into her breast, this was the softest breast he has ever touched. Sk started to moan and her pussy became wetter, Julian then suddenly pulled out her tongue caused a shock to strike in Sk''s eyes, he was holding her tongue tight and didn''t let it go, she panicked a little as this was never done to her, after holding it for thirty seconds while he continued to fondle her breast, he then let it go. Sk took a deep breath as it was hard breathing when her tongue was pulled out like that. Sk "Why?" She asked. For a second she thought that Julian was going to kill her. Julian "You have been a very naughty girl since the minute we stepped into your house, do you think you can get anything, you deserve a punishment" Julian whispered it into her ears, hearing this Sk felt a sudden burst of sensation down there, this waspletely new to her as she was getting dominated right now, she understood this and got a little excited, in the past with then men she fucked with, none of them dared to do this to her, most of them were a little scared of her and her status. She suddenly felt Julian''s fingers that were in her mouth touch her wet pussy. Sk ''If this is the punishment, I want you to punish me every day'' She thought and started to shake her hips and little, Julian then inserted his fingers into her pussy and started to y with it for a while as he realized how wet she really is, she is dripping all her pussy juice down the couch and her blue panty is filled soaked. Then he begins his game, he tightly presses on her breast and pulls them hard caused Sk to scream in pleasure and painbined, this was never done to her before. Sk "~~wh~~what are you~~ doing, don''t~~don''t stretch them like~~like that, no~~noo~~nooo" She moaned as her breast got pulled and released while his other fingers inside her pussy started to do their job as well, Julian sped up his fingers and Sk felt the jolt and she tried to lift her lip for some release but realized that Julian has tied her down with his legs. Sk "~~~no, no~~no~~, not so~~so fast, ahnn~ahhnnnnnnnnn" She moaned, her voice is loud and it traveled all over the building but luckily no one could hear her as the walls were well built and soundproof. Sk "~i~I~i~i~i am~ am cum~cumming" As she was about toe Julian stopped, Sk woke up from her deeply pleasured state shocked as the blissful pleasure that she was experiencing stopped, she tried to turn around and look at Julian but he stopped her from looking by grabbing her cheeks tightly. Julian "As I said, you have been a naughty girl, do you really think you will have the pleasure to cum, until you prove to me that you will be a good girl, till then I will never let youe" Julian whispered in her ears causing her to shiver as horror filled her eyes as she heard that Julian won''t let her cum, she could do it on her own but the feeling she felt now, she wants to feel it again and she knows that she cannot do it or anyone can provide it except Julian. She slowly nods her head obediently, for the first time Julian saw Sk being submissive, this is what Julian wants but he will do this till she breaks down and bespletely dependent on him. Julian "Don''t worry, the punishment isn''t over" He said and lifted her up easily and made her lie t on hisp face down, Sk is once again taken by surprise, he felt, Julian''s hand rubbing her th ass gently arousing her, she then felt his fingers creasing her wet pussy over her soaked panty which aroused her even more. Julian "Look at you, such a bad girl, did I give you the permission to unt your pussy in front of me?" To which Sk shook her head saying no, she was already falling under Julian''s pressure. Julian "At least, you realize your mistake" He said and pulled her soaked panties down, and rubbed her soaking wet pussy, his finger got covered with her pussy juice which he let her lick off his finger which she obediently did. Julian "You are such a bad girl that needs punishment" He said and suddenly pped her th ass *p* it was loud and the sound was piercing, her ass giggled as his n print took ce. Sk "~aaaaa~" She moaned, her moan filled with pain and pleasure, she looked at Julian with teary eyes. *p**p**p**p**p* Julian pped her multiple times and made her brown ass red, Sk is in a daze as the pain she felt on her ass was stinging and she could feel the heat radiating from her ass. Julian "Will you be a good girl when I am around?" Sk "I will be a good girl when you are around" Julian "Good" Julian said and put her aside and took the food she prepared and started to eat them while Sk justid there on the couch breathing heavily. _______________________________________________________________________ A/N - Another adult scene, well I wanted Julian to have more women but not as his girlfriends, the best way to achieve this is to make them his servants and the best way to achieve that is to make thempletely dependent on him and why not make it through sex, as my audience sometimes enjoys them. Will I write more sex scenes? Yes, I will but they will not be frequent, I was not nning to make Sk his servant but I decided to do it anyway because why not. Don''t worry, even though these few chapters have been very sexual in nature and will continue for a few more chapters, it will not overtake the story, sex will only be involved when Julian is with his girlfriends or if he wants to make someone submit to him just like here with Sk, it will soon stop and will only appear after a lot of chapters, so sex scenes won''t bother you too much. Chapter 760 - Walking Around Driftveil After eating his meal Julian headed out of Sk''s penthouse and decided to look around Driftveil city and see what interesting things he can find here. Driftveil City is a massive city and is also a port city, there are multiples ports in the city which is constantly in action as shipse and go, taking and delivering cargo from all over the world to Driftveil City and vice versa. ?? Julian also found out that it has a very huge market ce where people can find anything, from pokemons to rare items, special berries, and fruits, poisonous nts, and many more. Julian decided to look into this market and restock some things for his pokemons, on his way there he found other things as well and some made his smile. The city has massive cold storage where most of the shipped goods are frozen until the time hase for them to be sold or sent to other parts of the world or will be used here in Unova. This cold storage is very massive and can store a year''s worth of food for the whole Unova, when Julian learned about this he was surprised, to store so much food this ce has to be really big, thankfully this storage is built underground and didn''t take up the whole city. Julian also learned that there is a hear behind a mask going around the city helping people, Julian wondered what could this man be thinking for him to take such actions, on the inte Julian could find many things and one of them was also about a gang that is here in Driftveil city. This gang is a massive one and calls itself Team Vanillite, hearing this name made Julian chuckle, the members of these gangs are known to use only Ice-type pokemons, putting these thoughts aside he rode towards the market. Just like the inte said, this market is massive and Julian found everything that he needed, he also bought some special berries for all of his pokemons depending on their typing. Since he was done shopping he decided to check out the coastal area of the city as it has been a long time since he visited the beach and let his pokemons have some fun with water, when he arrived at the beach he saw a lot of people here, men with shorts and women with bikinis, it is a paradise of any young man. Julian found a ce to park his bike and rest, he let out his pokemons to y in the sand, when he released his new pokemons Archen and Golett, Archen is still a baby and easily got along with other pokemons but Golett was a little different. He didn''t care about being friends with anyone, he acted like a grump old man even though he is not that old either, but Julian is not worried, he knows they will be close as time passes. Golett is not a huge fan of socializing, he was upset as Julian captured him but he saw how powerful Julian''s pokemons are, especially the older ones and the aura they emit, any pokemon would want to be powerful like them. It''s in their nature, so Golett decided to ease up a little and start listening to Julian, even though he doesn''t trust him totally but he was willing to listen to him, as time passes their rtionship will gradually improve just like any other pokemon Julian has had. After resting for a while Julian decided that it was time to leave the beach and train his pokemons for the day, his next challenge is against y, the gym leader of Driftveil city and he is a ground type pokemon user. He is a very powerful pokemon trainer and is a veteran in his field, his experience as a pokemon trainer makes him a tougher opponent than any other gym leader even if he is using a weaker pokemon. By now the challenge for pokemon trainers has been put to the hardest level, starting with y, being the vicious trainer he is, he will not go easy on any trainer who is weak and won''t let them walk past him. Julian needs to train his pokemons a little before he goes and challenges y. If he uses his Darmanitan, Excadrill, Gigalith, or Escavalier he might easily win because they all have gained a huge power up after they evolved, Julian decided to halt their training for now and concentrate on his weaker pokemons. Larvesta, Axew, Archen, and Golett, out of these four Axew is the strongest and he will soon evolve and be even stronger, he will still not reach the level of Darmanitan and others, Golett needs to time to evolve as well but he is not that far from evolving. The ones who arecking behind are Larvesta and Archen, even though Archen is younger than Larvesta he will evolve firstpared to Larvesta. Till now most of his pokemons are pokemons with only two-stage and he realized how ridiculous these pokemons are, at their first stage they are like any normal pokemon but once they evolve they be really powerful, the only pokemon that Julian has who has more than two stages are Gigalith and Axew. Putting all of them back to their Pokeball, Julian decided to leave the beach and find an empty ce to train them. Chapter 761 - A New Friend Julian put his pokemons back to their pokeballs and headed back to the bike when he saw a stranger standing next to his bike checking it out like a pervert, Julian felt weird when he saw this young man looking at his bike like the way he is looking at it. Julian looked at this young man carefully, this guy has brown hair in a Bosozoku hairstyle, a white scarf around his neck, a ck leather jacket and ripped blue jeans, the perfect typical biker gang member. ?? Julian "Do you need something?" Julian walked towards his bike and ced his hands on it to tell this guy to stay away from his bike, he loved his bike and he doesn''t want some weirdo looking at it with perverted eyes. "Nothing, I just love your bike man, sheesh, I can tell this baby has been ridden a lot" He said while looking at Julian''s bike. Julian didn''t think much about it, but he is impressed by this man''s ability to tell if a bike has gone through stuff, Julian always takes care of his bike, he changes its oil, cleans his chain, changes its tiers, and does a lot of mechanical stuff that can be done to keep a bike as smooth as possible and not many people can tell the difference between a brand new bike and Julian''s bike unless they see the mileage on it. Julian "How did you know?" He asked. He is a little curious about how this man found out. "Are you kidding me, I live and breath bikes, I know when a bike is kept well and ridden properly, check out this baby" The young man said and showed Julian the fancy red cruiser motorbike that was parked next to him, Julian looked at the bike and was impressed as well, since Julian is a biker he likes when he sees some really beautiful bikes, bikes are things that Julian like very much and they are right behind women. He was impressed by this young man''s choice, this cruiser could get him any chick if he wants if he gets rid of that stupid hairstyle of his, but that hairstyle is the most aerodynamic shit Julian has ever seen on a human body. "By the way, my name is Charles" He said and extended his hand for a handshake, since he is a fellow biker Julian decided to respond to him. Julian "My name is Julian" He said and shook his hand. Charles "Nice, you have the same name as that champion, you much get a lot of attention for that" He said andughed. Julian "Well I am that person" Julian said and removed his mask, as Charles saw his face he was stunned for a seconds before finallying to his sense. Charles "No shiiiit, you are him, I didn''t expect you to be a biker as well" Charles got excited as he saw Julian. As Julian expected Charles didn''t make a huge deal out of it at all, all bikers are cool, some can be assholes but between bikers they are cool. Julian "Great to meet you too man, we bikers always look out for each other" He said and fist bump Charles chest, just like that Julian''s inner biker wasing out, he doesn''t get this friendly with anyone but since he met someone who has the same interest as him, it is easy to get along with them. Charles also didn''t make a huge deal about Julian''s identity, instead they started to talk about bikes for hours without caring about their surrounding at all, when two bikers meet they can just talk about bike shit for hours and nothing else. After talking to Charles so much Julian wanted to buy another bike, one that is more speed based not like his current one, his current bike in an on/off-road one, even though it has a lot of torque, itcks the power to make it go fast, hearing that Charles has multiple bikes, Julian got a little jealous. Since he had money he can buy as many as he wants and just like that Julian decided to buy one because of Charles''s influence. As they continued to talk Charles suddenly asked to battle Julian, this was out of the blue but Julian agreed, he was about to train his pokemons but Charles showed up and they became friends and he missed the chance to train his pokemons. Maybe this battle can fill up for the training she missed, Charles and Julian rode towards the nearest battlefield, once they reached there Charles presented a special type of battle that Julian has never done before. A triple battle, a battle in which both trainers will use three pokemons at the same time, this kind of battles are hard because a trainer cannot keep his focus on all three of his pokemons at the same time, and even if he can, he has to be in constant awareness on to which pokemons he needs to call out after the other and what move they have to use which will assist the pokemon that attacked before it or is going to attack after it. Even though these kinds are battles are fought they are very messy and inconvenient to trainers so the league also decided to stick with a maximum of two pokemons at the same time by a single trainer. Julian is surprised by this request from Charles but seeing that he was determined to do this he didn''t reject it, Julian has experience battling while using multiple of his pokemons at the same time, especially against legendaries and even he has a thought time keeping all of them in check. The maximum Julian can do is four, if that number exceeds Julian will have a hard time controlling all of them, that is why Julian teaches his pokemons on how to battle by themselves so they can help him while his attention is not on them. His new friends Charles looks like a decent person and seeing that he wants to improve in triple battle, how could Julian refuse him and so they took their spot on the battlefield. Chapter 762 - Triple Battle Julian took his ce on the battlefield and waited for Charles to choose his pokemons, Julian current team is a little off-bnce, his first four pokemons are too powerful while the pokemons he caughtter are a little behindpared to the first four. His Archen is just born, his Larvesta is growing fast and should be able to battle but winning a battle against y the gym leader will be very hard, the only ones Julian has hope for are his Axew and the newest member of his team, Golett. ?? He watched as Charles took out three pokeballs and sent out his pokemons, Zebstrika, Krokorok, and elgor which seems to be his ace, looking at Charles''s choice Julian smiles. His pokemons are not bad but they are not the best either, with Julian''s current team, his first four pokemons can single-handedly take them down but his second half of the team still needs to evolve or level up faster to catch up, but for now, they will do. Julian also took out his pokeballs and sent out his pokemons for the battle, Axew, Larvesta, and Golett, his Archen has just started training so he cannot do much in this battle even if he wants to. Since both have their pokemons on the battlefield the battle started, the few people who are around started to watch the battle with interest because a triple battle is very rare and people sometimes enjoy the chaos that they bring. These viewers looked at both sides and favored Charles''s pokemons because he has two pokemons that are fully evolved and one is at its second stage, while the pokemons on Julian''s side are still on their first stage. Charles clearly has the advantage here, not by typing but by pokemon''s expertise when ites to handling their power properly, it is very clear that a fully evolved pokemon can do things better than its previous form, not just because it has grown stronger but because their cells and channel their energy better inside their body. Charles began the attack since he saw Julian wanted to y defensive. Charles "Zebstrika, use Quick Attack" His Zebstrika moved fast while making it harder for Julian''s pokemon to keep track of it as it moved in a zig-zag pattern. Julian "Not gonna work, Larvesta use String Shot" Larvesta who is behind Julian''s other two pokemon locked onto the Zebstrika with its insane bug-like sense and shot a long sticky string at Zebstrika''s feet, Larvesta had already predicted where Zebstrika is going to put its foot so there was no chance of missing. The sticky string caught Zebstrika''s front leg''s and glued them to the ground causing it toe crashing on the ground and hitting its face. Julian "Now, Golett, use Ice Punch" As Zebstrika get very close to Golett with its fall, it is in danger, Golett hummed loudly and Ice started to form around his arm, Golett then tried to smack Zebstrika''s head with Ice Punch. Charles "elgor, use Energy Ball and stop Golett. Krokorok, use Dig and attack Larvesta" elgor being very fast, shot a powerful Energy Ball at Golett with extreme speed, seeing the Energy Balling towards him, Golett changed his target and counter the Energy Ball with Ice Punch. Krokorok dug into the ground and charged at Larvesta. Julian "Larvesta, use me Charge and attack Zebstrika" Charles thought that he had Zebstrika out of danger but he was wrong, as his Krokorok is not underground it cannot defend the fallen Zebstrika who is trying to get up and Larvesta with me Charge is too fast for Krokorok, and Golett is handling elgor. Larvesta moved fast as his body is covered in scorching mes, his little legs are moving so fast that they are creating after images. Krokorok missed the Dig and came out of the ground. Julian "Axew, now use Dual Chop" Axew was waiting for hismand, as soon as Larvesta moved Krokorok came out of the ground trying to hit him but missed and now Axew has a clear hit, he channeled his Dragon energy and charged at Krokorok andnded two massive hits, Golett also destroyed the Energy Ball with his powerful Ice Punch and Larvestaded the me Charge on Zebstrika. Zebstrika got sent flying backward and crashed into the ground, even though Larvesta is not the strongest here he still has a good attack stat and a fast me Charge will deal damage. Krokorok was sent rolling on the ground as well, and within their first exchange Julian''s sidended two good hits, for Julian this is easy but for Charles, it is hard to keep up. Charles gritted his teeth as he saw how easily Julian handled the situation. Charles ''No wonder he is called the greatest'' He thought and focused on the battle again, his Zebstrika and Krokorok got back to their feet and took their position again, right behind elgor. Julian''s pokemon also took their position, Golett, and Axew in the front defending the fragile Larvesta. Julian watched a frustration built up in Charles, he also realized that Charles is very serious during the battle, he is treating this very seriously, it is as if he wants to master this triple battle thing and there is no better way to do it than battling against the best, that is Julian. Julian "Go on, I am waiting, make your move" Julian taunted him to see if Charles can handle the pressure, if he wants to get better at it, his mental state also needs to be at its peak. The people who were watching the battle were also surprised by how easily Julian''s pokemon took control over the battlefield, they underestimated him, some of them quickly took out their phone knowing that this is an interesting battle and they have to post it online. Chapter 763 - Triple Battle (2) Charles did get a little annoyed as e saw Julian was asking him for a challenge, he sounded like a cocky bastard to him but he knows he has to keep his cool. Charles "I won''t go down so easy, elgor, use Giga Drain. Krokorok, use Rock Slide. Zebstrika, use Wild Charge" ?? Charles when all out on this attack, elgor shot a beam at Axew trying to steal his energy, Krokorok uses Rock Slide and sends multiple rocks falling on Julian''s pokemon, and Zebstrika using its speed charged at Larvesta. Since Charles has the powerful pokemons he decided to push Julian back since he cannot defeat Julian in the tactical field. Seeing that Charles wants to go all out, Julian smiled, if it was someone else they would get intimidated by all these attacks but to Julian''s eyes, it was just chaos that he could take advantage of. Julian "Larvesta, move around and use String Shot again. Axew, don''t wait, use Dragon w, Golett, ignore the rocks, use Focus Punch" With Julian''s instruction, his pokemons made their move, Larvesta moved around and dodged the rocks and shot a long sticky string at Zebstrika which is charging at him using Wild Charge, just like before it got caught by the sticky string which tied up its leg and caused it toe crashing down on the ground and the Wild Charge backfired with an explosion. The Zebstrika was then greeted by multiple rocks crashing down on it, Zebstrika fainted after that. Golett ignored the falling rocks and charged at Krokorok, the falling rocks hit him but it just shattered into pieces after hitting Golett, yes they were damaging Golett but being resistant to Rock-type attacks, Golett could handle them, once he got close, all the focused energy in his body transferred into his hand and he punched Krokorok hard. The punch took out Krokorok''s breath and sent it flying out of the battlefield. Axew being the closest to the opponents didn''t have to encounter the rocks but the green beam of Giga Drain hit him and started to drain his energy but that didn''t stop Axew, he just ran towards elgor while using Dragon w. Axew has a lot of energy, he has enough energy to evolve but the Everstone stopped him from doing so or he would have evolved. Once he got close hended the Dragon w and sted elgor out of the battlefield as well and just like that the battle was over. Charles couldn''t handle himself with the Triple Battle thing, he got too distracted and forgot that Larvesta can easily counter his Zebstrika''s movement and he defeated the Zebstrika by using its own teammate''s move. Golett was too though for the Rock Slide to take him down and he did a number on Krokorok, Axew was filled with so much energy that it didn''t matter to him, he had enough left tond a finishing blow. Just like that Julian won and Charles just looked at his three defeated pokemon, even though he had stronger pokemons he couldn''t win because this Triple battle was too much for him, trying to figure out every move each of his pokemons has to use and what they need to counter was too much for him to keep track off. Julian "You still need to do a lot more for you to master this style of battling" Julian said and called back his pokemons, he thought he would get a little bit of training but Charles triple battle method was massively wed, Julian easily destroyed him, if it was a one on one battle he would have had a much tougher battle. Charles sighed and called his pokemons back as well, he really wanted to perfect this battle style as he is in very much need of it. Julian "By the way, why are you training with such a hard style, even the league doesn''t find it useful" He asked wanting to find out what Charles really wants. Charles "Haha, its nothing, I just want to master this style so I can be the greatest at it in the world, hahaha" Charles said and started tough, Julian didn''t think much about it anymore, he could tell that Charles is lying but if Charles doesn''t want to tell, he won''t bother extracting out of him. Julian "Hmm, ok then, what do you n to do now?" He asked. Charles "Weren''t you telling you wanted to buy a new bike, let''s go" Charles said and pulled Julian away to the nearest bike showroom to look for some superbikes, since this topic came up Julian decided to go with it and followed Charles on his bike. After half an hour of riding, they arrived in front of a massive showroom filled with bikes, looking at all of them disyed under the bright lights as they reflected them with their shiny paint, this is heaven to a bike lover. Julian got excited and walked into the showroom with Charles and looked around for hours, from superbikes to naked bikes, from cruisers to scramblers, from dirt bikes to adventure bikes. So many bikes and Julian has to only choose one, but at the end of the day, one stole his attention and love at first sight, a superbike with glossy red paint, its whole body made of carbon fiber, its wheels carbon fiber, this is the most beautiful thing Julian has ever seen, even rivaling his girlfriends. (reference - 2020 Ducati Superleggera V4) Since he is already in love with it, how can he not buy it, with the decision made from both his mind and heart he bought it. Chapter 764 - Progress So Far And Further Training With his brand new bike that cost him 100000 Pokedors, he bid farewell to Charles and headed towards the nearest Jungle and this time to train and not fool around. This new bike of his is a beast, it goes from 0 to 100 Km/h under three seconds, and maxes out at 300+ km/h, its like having a rocket between his legs. ?? It felt really great riding it, just going past through people as if they are frozen in time felt really amazing in this beast of a bike but Julian had to be careful, he cannot be cocky while handing this kind of monster, even the most professional riders fear machine like this. Once he found the rough trail into the forest he switched his bike as this beast is not an off road bike, once inside the forest Julian called out all his pokemons and started to train them, his main focus being Axew, Golett, Larvesta, and Archen. Archen being the youngest has to catch up to others, unlike Larvesta he doesn''t have crazy power-up speed so he has to work hard if he wants to catch up, the path will be hard but it is not impossible, being young means one can learn faster, Archen will be able to control his energy better before he evolves. Hours of training was exhausting for all his pokemons, the first four of his team trained on controlling their energy as they have enough physical strength, now they need to have full control over their energy that is inside their body. While the other half of his team needs to work hard to catch up, Axew can evolve but Julian is working on improving his energy control, Golett is simr but he has some time before he evolves, enough time to master his energy. With Gengar and Garchomp there to consult him with his two different energies, he will be able to understand them better. Larvesta is growing fast, very fast, with the speed that he is leveling up he will catch up to Axew and go even further, as Julian looked deeper into Larvesta he realized that the dragon stone helped a lot, it helped build a very powerful fire source for him, Larvesta''s fire source is special, not as powerful as Infernape''s but very unique in its own way, it didn''t burn the brightest, nor was it the hottest but it was very destructive in nature, just like a dragon''s fire. Julian focused on this aspect of Larvesta, to make him able to control this very vtile fire that he spews out like crazy sometimes. Archen had to work the hardest, even though he is leveling up fast with the guidance of Julian he still has to get the fundamentals and Julian decided to bring out his flying type pokemons to do the job for him. Maybe Togekiss as she is very good at bing friends and giving advice, she will be able to teach Archen the fundamentals of being a flying type and how he can use his energy to his advantage. The training was hard but they all gained a lot of experience but they still need to train some more before Julian goes and challenge y, with the experience y, has in battle, Julian needs to prepare a little more. Even though Julian says he likes thought challenges, he is a perfectionist as well, he trains his pokemons till the point that they are good enough to face off against his opponents, even if they are weaker than their opponents Julian is confident in their ability to deal with it. Once the trainer was over, he took to a pokemon spa to release all their stress and massage their muscles so they won''t be sore the next morning, once everything was done he returned back to Sk''s penthouse. As he stood in front of her penthouse he remembered about his hornypanion that lives inside this penthouse, he smiled and walked in, as he opened the door of the penthouse he was surprised to see the scene that weed him. Sk was kneeling on the floor wearing a very slutty maid dress, her underwear very clearly visible through the very thin linen cloth, seeing her in such a state was really something but Julian didn''t show it on his face and just looked at her. Sk "Wee home master" She said with a smile on her face while lust filled her eyes. Julian "Master huh?" Sk "Hehe, I just felt like this calling you so, I just want to be under your control" She said. Julian "Good, you are one step closer from bing a good girl" Sk "Hehe" Julian "Not so fast, get up" Sk "Ok master" She said and got up while showing off her huge breast to Julian. Julian "Go and prepare a bath for me, then some food, then my bed" Sk "Yes master" She said and walked away into the bathroom to prepare his bath, Julian watched her th ass shake from side to side as she walked towards the bathroom and smiled, soon he will be spanking that ass, and she will beg for more of it. He took his phone out and clicked the photo of her ass and sent it to his girlfriends because they seem to be interested in this as much as he is, he is turning them into perverts as well and he knows it. Chapter 765 - Becoming More Obedient Julian walked behind Sk and checked her out as she did the things Julian told her to do, as she prepared his bath, the water caused her dress to be wet revealing her soft skin that is beneath it. Once Sk was done she went to the kitchen to prepare food for Julian, Julian took off his clothes and entered the bathroom, he didn''t lock the door as he knows Sk wille in to take a glimpse at him. ?? His phone suddenly started to buzz that was kept on the side, he picked it up and saw that his group chat with his girlfriends is live and they are talking about Sk, Cynthia clearly recognizing who this is. They were asking what Sk did and how did hee across her, he soon told them about their encounter and how much of a horny woman this Sk is. Cynthia "You know what, I am not even surprised, thest time I was with her, she stared at me weirdly, I heard she swings both ways" This was new to Julian. Chloe "Well, it doesn''t matter anymore, since she is my darling''s target, she needs to forget about any other person" Hearing Chloe''s words made Julian realized he was corrupting even his girlfriends, even him not being around them, they are changing, he knows it is for his best and Julian is changing as well. Julian ''Such an irony, me being chosen by God? I guess. Is not a person with virtue'' This was his own perception of himself, he knows he is not perfect, he is wed and that is why he is still human even though he has a body that can make him a godlike if the restrictions were not ced on them. Even Daisy was agreeing to Chloe''s words, the one who was against the idea at first in now fully supporting the idea, Julian didn''t know what to do but say love you and put the phone away. Soon his prediction came true as Sk walked in wearing the same dress that got wet, she didn''t even bother to change it. Sk "Can I be on any help master?" She asked while staring at the perfect body that Julian has, with his wet body inside the tub and the light reflecting off the wet body, his physic was very stunning for her, she has never seen someone with such a beautiful male body. Julian "No, but you can stand there but don''t touch yourself, just watch" Julian said and closed his eyes while Sk just stood their ufortably, her leg''s shaking and she is trying to not touch herself, Julian is slowly breaking her down and making her obedient. At first, when they met she was very forward with her desire but now she is being submissive, this is Julian''s charm, he is like a devil incarnate, the desire to be with him heightens more and more as they spend more time with him, and with many sexual encounters like these make the result even more extreme. After a few minutes, Julian was done with his bath and opened his eyes, he looked at Sk who is struggling to keep her mind straight, he could see something flowing down her legs, she is very wet. Julian "You did good, go clean yourself and then serve me my food" Sk nodded and walked away while ncing at Julian, once she was gone Julian got up and put on new clothes, and walked towards the kitchen. He watched as Sk walk-in with a new dress, a new dress but it is still very sexy, a very tight-fitting dress that still disyed her sexy curves, Julian watched as she walked to the stove and started to prepare his te. Julian took a seat and waited for his food to be prepared, till now Sk has done very goon in controlling herself, she has been obedient and if she continues doing so she might get a reward. She obediently put everything on the table, Julian really likes one thing about her, she really cooks very good food, after putting everything on the table she walked to Julian''s side and stood there waiting for hismand again. He nodded and pulled a chair close to him and told her to sit down, she nodded and sat right next to him, a smile appeared on her face as she is sitting very close to Julian, she is already wet down there thinking about what Julian is going to do to her. She suddenly felt Julian''s hand on her waist and let out a small moan, she felt his strong hands rubbing on her body. Julian "You did good today, for that you will get rewarded, after I finish my dinnere to my room" He whispered into her ears and took his hands off her waist, Sk felt really hot right now as images of Julian doing things to her started to y in her mind. Julian continued to eat the delicious food that she prepared as Sk just waited for her gift tonight. Chapter 766 - Badly Injured Once Julian was done with his food, he went to his room which was already prepared by Sk, the bed was clean, the bedsheet is tidy, there is a fresh scent all over the room, Sk had done well and she deserves the reward. Julian turned on the tv and waited for Sk toe inside, it didn''t take long before she walked in, her wearing blue lingerie was making her very pleasing to his eyes. ?? Sk "Master" She called him. Julian "Get in" She nodded and walked towards him with a smile on her face, she stood in front of Julian and looked at him and he looked at her. Julian "Since you have been such a good girl, you will get your reward, go on" Julian said and pointed at his crotch, seeing this Sk smiled and kneeled down and unzipped his pants revealing his dick to her, seeing the big cock in front of her, she gasped and looked at him. Julian "You are only allowed to lick" She nodded her head and started to lick his dick, as she did that, the size of his dick increased and it became bigger, soon it grew bigger than the length of her head, she got addicted to licking it and tried to put it whole inside her mouth but Julian stopped her by grabbing her hair. Julian "No, No, No, I said only licking" She nodded again and started to lick, she was fully engrossed in it, after sometime Julian came all over her face. She smiled as Julian''s cum covered her face. Sk "Master''s cum is so hot" She said and started to lick it off her face. Julian "That''s your reward for today, continue doing a good job and you will get better rewards" She nodded her head and got up, she is a little disappointed that Julian didn''t take her but for today this was enough for her, she licked licking Julian''s dick as she has never tasted something so addictive. She continued to lick off the cum of her face and walked out of Julian''s room, once she was gone, Julian went to bed, tomorrow is another day of training his pokemons and making them ready for their next gym challenge. When he woke up early in the morning and headed to the bathroom he found his water was already heated and all the towels were kept neatly, Sk was really sticking into this role of being obedient. Once he was done with his bath he headed out on his new bike back to the forest to train, he did the same thing he did yesterday, he trained his pokemons till they were exhausted, he then took them to a pokemon spa and made them rx then he went back to Sk''s penthouse. Once he was back he continued with his goal to make Sk his loyal servant but he continued ying his games, with her doing her best, she was allowed to take his dick inside her mouth, it was slow, she wanted to take it deep but Julian didn''t allow it. Once Julian got close he came on her face again, the same thing continued from there, he went to bed and when he woke up the next morning, he went back to the forest to train his pokemon, then brought them to the massage spa, then back to Sk''s penthouse. This same thing continued for a few days, Julian''s pokemons are bing stronger, Sk is bing more submissive towards Julian, she is now taking his dick deep inside her throat and his cum directly inside her mouth but Julian has still not made here. He hasn''t given her the satisfaction that she wants and desires, she just wanted to be pleasured by Julian''s hands and she would do anything for it. After a week of this, Julian finally decided to give her some pleasure and fingered her till she finally came with a blissful expression on her face. Sk "Thankyou master" She said after finally cumming all over the floor. Now that Sk has been pleasured Julian needs to do the other thing that he is here for in Driftveil city and that is to win the battle against y the gym leader. A new day and Julian''s pokemon are ready for their battle, Larvesta has reached a level that is enough to face off against y and his pokemons. He headed directly to Driftveil gym, it didn''t take him long to reach the gym at as the new bike of his was really fast, when he reached there he arrived in front of a massive castle-like gym, with golden walls and blue windows. The gyms here in Unova is very grand and looks very luxurious, he walked into the gym expecting to find the gym leader and challenge him for a battle but he was surprised to see that there is no one present inside the gym. It looked very empty from inside, he frowned and started to walk around the area, why would someone leave a gympletely unattended. As he walked around he finally found someone repairing the battlefield, when this person saw Julian they stopped doing what he was doing and stared at Julian trying to figure out who this person is. "Are you a challenger?" He asked. Julian "Yes, where is the gym leader?" "Ah, Gym leader y is in the pokemon center, his pokemons got seriously injured during hisst challenge, look at this battlefield, the whole thing was wreaked into shreds" He said and sighed. Hearing this Julian is surprised, in a pokemon battle pokemons do get hurt but getting seriously injured only happens when one side really wants to hurt the other. And y''s pokemon being the one seriously injured, this challenger really has some issue. Julian "Can you tell me everything in detail?" Julian asked. Chapter 767 - Dhrago "It was some guy named Dhrago, he challenged gym leader y yesterday, at first their battle was quite normal and it looked even but this man named Dhrago suddenly started tough and tell how much of a disappointment Gym leader y was. This pissed of Gym leader y and his pokemons, then things changed, this Dhrago and his pokemons changed their battling style, every move of theirs was cruel and delivered to hurt Gym leader y''s pokemon, at the end of the battle all his pokemons were seriously injured. ?? Gym leader y had to rush them to the pokemon center as soon as possible after the battle" The man said and sighed once again. Julian on the other hand had a frown on his face, from what he heard, this Dhrago is one sick person and likes to bully the ones who are weaker than him. Julian "Do you know how he looks?" "Tall man, over 6 feet tall, muscr, short hair and yes, an eye patch covering his left eye, it looked like a scar was running down his face through that covered eye" He described this character. Julian "I see, thank you, when should I expect the Gym leader toe back?" "I don''t know, it depends on how fast his pokemons recover from their injured state" Julian "I see, I will be leaving then" He said and walked out of the gym thinking about this Dhrago guy, the way the man inside the gym described him, Julian felt that he has seen this man before but he couldn''t remember where, even though he has a great memory, he doesn''t have a photographic memory to things that are sometimes not important don''t register inside his head. Julian "Well, it doesn''t matter, if I meet this guy, I really want to see how tough he really is" He said and decided to visit the pokemon center to give the baby pokemons in his team and quick check. When he arrived at the pokemon center he noticed y sitting there with a worried expression on his face, just from his expression, Julian could tell that his pokemons were badly hurt, a Chansey is standing next to him trying tofort him. Julian walked towards nurse Joy who is standing there waiting for her next patient, he passed her two of his pokemons, Larvesta and Archen. Joy "Please wait a minute, I will be right back" She said and took the pokeballs inside and came back to her counter, she noticed that Julian is still standing there. Joy "Do you need anything else?" Julian "Isn''t that Gym leader y, why does he look so worried?" Joy "Oh, his pokemons were seriously injured during a gym battle" Julian "Oh, that''s bad, how long will it take for them to get well?" Joy "The injuries are very severe, one of them even has a fractured tendon, it will take a weak or more for them to fully heal and start walking and battling again" Julian "I see, hope they recover fast" Joy "I wish the same as well, don''t worry they will bepletely fine, why don''t you wait there, your pokemon''s checkup is almost done, I will bring them after a minute" She said and walked back into the treatment room as she saw no patient being admitted right now, Julian walked towards a chair and sat down, he felt bad for y, luckily pokemons heal much faster, if the same injure was done to a human they would need a month or two to recover but pokemons can recover very fast. Stronger pokemons recover even faster. He just didn''t know why this guy named Dhrago too it over the limit and hurt ones pokemon so badly, Nurse Joy soon brought back his two pokemons from their check-up and handed them back to Julian. Since Julian wanted to challenge the gym leader today but seeing how the current situation is, it not a good idea, so he decided to walk around the city and enjoy his time here while he still can. With nothing else to do Julian decided to call Charles and hang out with him. Julian "Hello, Charles, it''s me, Julian, what are you doing?" Charles "I am busy right now, I will call youter" Charles ended the call as he seems to be in a hurry, Julian frowned as Charles never sounded so troubled. Julian "Something is not right, I wonder what it is?" With nothing else to do now, not even Charles avable to hang out, Julian decided to continue training his pokemons and train himself along the process as well, training is the only thing that separates him from the chaos that is this world. He returned to his usual training spot in the forest he began to train his pokemons again, Axew has now perfected his energy control to the limit of his body and now he is allowed to evolve, Julian took off the Everstone that was tied around his neck. As soon as he removed the Everstone, Axew started to glow, he didn''t even need stimtion to evolve, with so much energy already stored inside his body, as Axew started to glow the other pokemons around him got excited and surrounded him. Axew was finally evolving, the most envious are Larvesta and Archen as they are still far from their evolution, Axew started to grow bigger, his head became bigger and the tusks between his mouth became longer and sharper, his tail grow longer and his legs became bigger. As the light faded away, Axew became Fraxure, all his stats increased but his attack stat had the biggest change, just in his second stage, his attack stats are already better than some pokemons who have reached their final stage. Julian smiled as his pokemon team grew even stronger but it is still not the end. Chapter 768 - In Trouble With Axew evolving into Fraxure, Julian''s team has grown a little stronger than before, as the day was about toe to an end, he called back his pokemons and got ready to go back to Sk''s penthouse. On his way to his penthouse he suddenly received a message on his phone, he stopped his bike on the side of the road and took out his phone, he saw Charles has sent him a message. ?? [I am in trouble, I need help,e to the cold storage and yes, hide your face if you don''t want to expose yourself to the outside world] Reading the message, Julian frowned, he was worried about Charles as he was acting weird for quite a while now, he was troubled by something and now it hase and bitten him. Julian restarted his super bike after putting on a red long jacket and a ck demon mask that he had bought recently and headed towards the cold storage. With the speed of the new bike it didn''t take him long before he arrived there, once he got there he noticed a weird ice van parked outside the Cold storage, the van has a Vanillite painted on it. As Julian got closer to the Cold Storage he noticed a group of weird people wearing weird costumes, it looked like Vanillite costumes, when he saw them, he felt weird. Why would anyone dress like this, don''t these people have any dignity? If this was a parade then maybe it would be justified but why are they wearing such ridiculous dress when they are all alone at night? This was the question going through Julian''s mind, as Julian stopped in front of the Cold Storage these people in weird costumes surrounded him on his bike. "Hey who are you, remove that mask and show us your face" One of them spoke, he was trying his best to sound intimidating by deepening his voice but to Julian, this was all just a stupid attempt by stupid people to cause trouble. Julian "Get out of my way and you won''t get hurt" Julian said coldly. Seeing that Julian won''t back down these men pulled out their pokeballs and tossed it up in the air bringing out their pokemons to teach this man in a demon mask a lesson. "You messed with the wrong gang, we members of Team Vanillite will freeze you" One of them said. Julian looked at the pokemons that they called out and noticed that all of them were Ice-type pokemons but that didn''t bother Julian at all, instead, he realized that these pokemons are very weak, his Darumaka or any of his first four of his Unova team can take down very easily. Julian [Gengar, scare them away] He ordered Gengar to scare them away so he didn''t have to deal with these weird people. Suddenly the surround turned chilly as a ghostly aura covered the surrounding sending chills down everyone present in the area. When these men and their pokemons felt this, their heart started to beat faster, and fear started to overwhelm their mind, they suddenly noticed a massive dark figure behind the demon masked man, this massive dark figure has scary crimson eyes which looked terrifying. All of them froze on the spot as their heartbeat became ever faster, they thought that this man in the demon mask is an evil incarnate, suddenly one of them screamed in terror and ran away with his pokemons. His scream broke the silence and the others also started to scream in fear and ran away, and just like that this was solved. Gengar [Gegegege] Gengarughed and went into Julian''s shadow, Julian just smiled as he realized that Gengar''s aura has be more terrifying than ever and he will continue to grow till he hits his next limiter. Julian looked around as those annoying men in costumes ran away, he noticed that there are a lot of people inside the Cold Storage, he revved his bike loudly, put it in gear, and rushed towards the cold storage. ____________________ Inside the cold storage, a group of men with the weird Vanillite costume are surrounding four people, these people are none other than Ash and his friends, and the fourth person is a young woman with blond hair wearing a pink scarf around her neck with orange top and skirt. They are in trouble because they arepletely outnumbered, Ash has his Pignite out facing off against a bunch of ice type pokemons, his Oshawott seems to be already down and knocked out, his new friend Iris has her Axew in the battle as well while Cn has his Pansage out as well. The blond girl is also trying her best to fend of these men with her Timburr. Cn "We won''t be able to hold on for longer, Linda, what should we do?" Cn asks the blond girl whose name is Linda. Linda "Let''s just hope that we can hold on till Charles takes care of Dr. Ferrara or wait for his friend to arrive" She said. Ash "Come on, we can do this, Pignite, use methrower" Ash''s Pignite uses methrower but it is countered by multiple Ice beams from the massive force of Ice-type pokemons. Iris and Cn also give it their all but it is of no use, they are facing off against more than 20 men with their pokemons continuously attacking, even though these pokemons are not strong, they have an advantage in numbers. Suddenly they heard a loud revving sound and they turned their head towards the direction of the sound, they saw two led lights shaped like eyes rushing towards them making a very loud sound. As this light got closer they were finally able to see who this was, it was a person in a ck demon mask wearing a very long red coat and riding a very expensive super bike. Linda "This must be Charles''s friend" She said and felt a little relieved. Chapter 769 - Scaring Everyone Julian stopped his bike right in front of the helpless group and saw Ash and his friends along with this beautiful blonde who seems to be surrounded by a bunch of weird costume-wearing idiots. The blonde stepped forward and rushed towards him. ?? Linda "Hello my name is Linda, are your friend of Charles?" She asked to which Julian just nodded his head. Linda "Great, can you help us, we will not be able to hold for long, we need to also help Charles" She asked for help. Julian ignored her and looked at these bunch of fools who are slowlying around and surrounding him, he signaled Linda to back off with a hand gesture, she hesitated but did as he said. Charles told her that he informed a friend of his about this and he ising to help, Charles also told her to listen to his friend and don''t ask any question. As she backed off Julian asked Gengar to take care of these weak goons. Julian [Gengar, do your thing] Gengar didn''t reveal himself but the image of a dark silhouette appeared behind Julian releasing a very dark aura causing fear and horror to strike the goons that surrounded him, they froze on their spot and looked at this silhouette in horror, even their pokemons couldn''t move from fear. And just like before, someone who was a little braver than others screamed in fear and tried to run away, wanting nothing to do with this man, and just like before the rest followed him and tried to run for their life. And just like that, it was over, everyone is stunned by the current event, they struggled so much to hold off against these team Vanillite grunts but now they were sent running scared for their lives just because they saw this dark figure behind the demon masked man. Linda doesn''t know what to say, she expected a battle but it didn''t even take ce, this man in the demon mask didn''t even send out a pokemon to deal with the current situation, she rushed to thank him but he stopped her and asked about Charles in a deep voice. Julian "Where is Charles?" Linda stopped and pointed deeper into the Cold Storage. Julian nodded and rode off leaving the group behind, since they are not in danger anymore, it didn''t matter what they do now. Julian rode deeper into the storage and finally found a person wearing a very weird costume, this man looked like a red power ranger from Julian''s previous world''s tv series and this man had three pokemons in front of him. Zebstrika, Krokorok, and elgor. Seeing them Julian realized that this person is none other than his friend Charles. Julian "Hey Charles" Julian called him. Charles who is in his power rangers costume got startled as he was in the middle of a battle now. Charles "Charles? Charles who? I am not Charles, I am the Mighty elguard" He said. Julian "Idiot, it''s me, Julian, what the fuck are you wearing?" Julian asked. Charles finally realized who it was and turned around to see Julian standing there but he couldn''t see his face. Charles "Why are you asking me what I am wearing, look at you, you look like some scary-ass movie viin" Julian "And you look edgy as shit" Charles "Ok, Ok,e and help me" Julian "So this is why you wanted to learn how to battle using three pokemons at the same time" He said and looked at the massive army of ice pokemon he is battling, 40 vs 3, all those 40 pokemons are weak but their number is a massive advantage and a joint attack can be very powerful. "Hahaha, I see that you got yourself a help but that won''t matter, elguard, I will rule Unova and no one can stop me" Julian suddenly heard a voice and looked at the direction of the voice to see who this person is, he saw an old man with zig-zag white hair wearing a white suit and pant and a dark blue cape. Julian finally noticed this person, since he was standing behind his army of weird dressed men, he didn''t even see him but now that he took a look at him, he realized that this person is the leader of the group. Julian "Charles take care of that man, I will get rid of these people" Julian said and told Charles to chase after the old man while he handles the goons, since this is not his fight he doesn''t need to take down the main culprit. "Me, Dr. Ferrara is not someone who should be looked down you imbecile, I will make you pay" The old man shouted at Julian when he heard what Julian said, he could tell that Julian was looking down on him and had no interest in acknowledging the old man and his goals, this offended him. Julian "Gengar" Julian just said one word and suddenly the atmosphere changed and the same thing happened again, the air got chilly, and fear crept into the hearts of the men standing in front of the old man named Dr. Ferrara. Seeing the sudden change and the fear that is building up inside his heart Dr. Ferrara made a wise move and bolted into one of the vans and drove off leaving behind his goons, seeing his escape, Charles gave a nod to Julian and chased after him on his bike with his elgor. Julian sighed. This thing was too easy for him but since Charles asked for help he couldn''t just deny him, the pressure released by Gengar was so much that these grunts and their pokemons fainted as they couldn''t take it anymore. Since this has been taken care of Julian turned around to leave and found Ash and his friends with the blonde Linda rushing towards him. Ash "Mr. Demon, where is Charles?" He asked as he saw that all the grunts were already taken down. Julian "He chased after that crazy old man, you should follow them as well" He said in a deep voice and pointed towards the direction Charles and the old man took off, he then rode off on his bike leaving the group alone again, this time they didn''t ponder on it much and took a van and chased after Charles and the old man Dr. Ferrara. Julian also followed then but kept a distance, he didn''t want to interfere much but if things go wrong he will step in, but he has a hunch that he doesn''t need to. Chapter 770 - Stupid Plan Julian followed Ash and his friends from a distance as he doesn''t want to get noticed, it didn''t take him long before he noticed a van stopped far away right in the middle of the road. Julian stopped his bike and started to walk a little closer to the scene, he noticed Ash and his friends along with the blonde girl Linda also stopped right behind this van. ?? Julian then noticed Charles in his weird costume and his elgor right in front of the van preventing it from going any further, the van''s tire also seems to be punctured forcing the driver to stop in his tracks. Julian got a little closer to hear a little better on what is going on. Suddenly a man wearing a Cryogonal mask jumped out and stood on top of the van releasing an evil loudugh, when Julian saw this man he realized that this was none other than Dr. Ferrara as he didn''t take his time to change his suit and cape. Dr. Ferrara "elguard, you cannot capture me, I am the mightily Cryogonal Man" He said andughed. Dr. Ferrara "Today I will defeat you and take over Unova with my own army of ice-type pokemon" He said and sent out his pokemon to battle, a Vanillite. Seeing this Julian was surprised, he expected Dr. Ferrara to send out a Cyrogonal but he sent out a Vanillite, the same thought went across everyone present there. Ash "Shouldn''t you have a Cryogonal if you are the Cryogonal man?" Ash asked. Dr. Ferrara "Well I would love to have a Cryogonal as well but I am not strong enough to catch one" He said disappointed. Hearing this everyone was stunned, why would you name yourself after a pokemon if you don''t have it at all, and on top of that, he is not even strong enough to catch one. Julian also had the same reaction but he could understand Dr. Ferrara''s dilemma, Cryogonals are pokemons that never evolve, as soon as theye out of their egg, they are already in their final form making them stronger than any other baby pokemon at the same level. This allows this species of pokemon to have a massive advantage over other pokemons in the food chain and they grow stronger very quickly with all the resources that they took control over in their territory. As time passes the pokemons who were suppressed before evolves and grow stronger but it doesn''t matter anyway, a Cyrogonal would have already leveled up even more and would have grown even stronger and would have imed the whole area as its territory. To catch a wild Cryogonal is hard but ice type trainers would always have one of them in their pokemon to catch list as from a very young age they will have perfect control of their Ice element putting them at a massive advantage over other species of pokemons. Soon the battle between Charles and Dr. Ferrara started, Charles won the battle very easily and dropped kicked the old man off the van, Julian thought that this was unnecessary but it was not a concern. He noticed that Linda has already called for the police and he knew it was time for him to leave, he got on his bike and rode back to Sk''s penthouse. After going back Sk did a good job again and received her reward, day by day she has bepletely loyal to him and him alone. Julian went to sleep waiting for another day to arrive, today was too much, first, he couldn''t get his gym battle, then he did a lot of training, his Axew evolved into Fraxure and then the Charles problem. Thankfully Sk was there to blow off all his tension just like a good servant should do. _________________ The next morning when Julian woke up he found Sk doing her morning service as a good servant should do, till now she still craves sex but Julian has still not given it to her but she stayed obedient as she knows he will give it to her very soon. After she was done Julian sent here away and looked at his phone, he noticed that Charles has sent him a message regarding yesterday''s matter and called him to meet up at the market. Since Julian has nothing to do he decided to go and meet Charles, after taking a bath he got out of the penthouse and headed directly towards the market where Charles asked him to meet up. When he arrived there he saw Charles waiting for him on his bike, when Charles saw Julian he waved at him and called him, Julian headed towards him and took a seat. Julian "So what was that yesterday?" He asked. Charles "Well since you already figured out that I am the mighty elguard, I guess I can tell you what was happening?" Julian "Hahaha, Mighty elguard, what kind of name is that?" Julian started tough hearing this name, he also remembered about the masked hero that he read about on the inte and this masked hero seems to be none other than Charles. Charles "Ya, at least I am not being called the demon" Charles said and tossed a newspaper to Julian. Julian looked at the newspaper and saw the headline [elguard and his friend the Demon helps in capturing the wanted criminal Dr. Ferrara] Reading the newspaper, Julian didn''t know what to say except release an awkward smile. Julian "How did these people find out?" Charles "Remember Linda?" Julian "Yes, that blond girl" Charles "Yes, she is my friend and also a journalist, she got in trouble as she decided to look into the Cold Storage all alone, luckily I came at the right moment and saved her, then I called you for help" Charles exined. Julian "So she wrote about me?" Charles "Yes, I told her to ignore you but she was insistent on telling the people on who helped catch Dr. Ferrara" Julian "So what was this Dr. Ferrara''s situation? He looked like a total nut job" Charles "He was indeed a total nut job, he wanted to take control over the Cold Storage and then the food inside the bribe Ice-type pokemons to join his army to take over Unova" When Julian heard this he was stunned, this was one of the most stupid ways a person could ever take control over a massive region like Unova, he could have used this food to ckmail the league into giving him money from which he could invest and build up his army slowly and then go on a conquering Unova, but he wanted to bribe Ice-type pokemons. Was he really an idiot and mentally unstable, this was the question that is on Julian''s mind. Julian "Well, it doesn''t matter, he is in jail now" Charles "Yes, it doesn''t matter, well anyways, since you helped me I decided to treat you today, anything you and your pokemon want, it''s on me" Julian "Great, I won''t hold back then" And so Julian spent the rest of the day with Charles. Chapter 771 - Julian Vs Clay Julian stayed quite long in Driftveil city because he couldn''t have a battle with y because of y''s injured pokemons that are in the pokemon center. Luckily for Julian, he has made a friend and a very hot girl who is there in the ce he stays to satisfy him. ?? The wait is finally over as y''s pokemon healed fully and Julian headed towards Driftveil gym again, to challenge the gym leader once again. When he arrived there he noticed a few pokemon trainers walking out of the gympletely dejected, it is clear that they lost, it could be seen in their face, they were crushed by their loss. "Man, I didn''t expect this gym would be so hard, he destroyed us and didn''t even give a chance to fight back" One trainer said dejectedly. "Ya, I didn''t expect him to be so hard, my pokemons didn''t even stand a chance" "How about we skip this gym and challenge the other gyms?" ''Ya let''s do that, without current level we will never be able to defeat him" The trainer talked and walked past Julian, Julian didn''t think much of their talk, he already knows that y is known for his ways of not going easy on his challengers and he is d to hear that he has not changed his ways even after the crushing defeat he faced from the guy called Dhrago. He then walked into the grand gym once again, unlikest time there are some people inside doing their work, as he walked in he saw the person he saw a week ago, he was wiping the floor with a mop. The person also noticed Julian and smiled at him, even though he couldn''t see the face behind the mask he could tell that it was the same person he saw a week ago from the way he dressed. Julian nodded at him and entered the battlefield, as he walked in he saw y standing there waiting for his next challenger, Julian carefully looked at this middle-aged man, a person with an average height, big belly, and wearing a brown coat and pants under a reddish-brown shirt, he is also wearing a hat. With all thisbined he looked like a cowboy. y looked at his knew challenger and raised his brows as he tried to read his opponent, with his opponent''s face covered he couldn''t get much but he could tell that his new challenger is confident in his ability to battle him by the bodynguage that he disyed while walking in. y "Take you spot, I don''t have much time to waste, I need to get back to mining" He said and took his spot on the battlefield and waited for Julian to do so as well, Julian looked at the grumpy man and smiled, just looking at his face Julian could tell that this man is always grumpy due to the look on his face. Julian didn''t bother to argue and took his ce on the battlefield as well. y "I won''t stretch it, this will be a two on two pokemon battle, the rules are the same as any other gym challenge, do you have any questions?" He asked to which Julian shook his head denying any questions and told him to continue. The referee soon walked in, since y has already announced the rules, the ref didn''t bother to exin it again and took his spot. Referee "Both trainers, please choose your first pokemon" y went first and sent out his first pokemon, Sandsh, a pure ground type pokemon with very good attack and defense stats, but itcks special attack and special defense while its speed is average. But Julian wanted to make this a battle of pure strength so he won''t take advantage of Sandsh''s weakness. Julian also sent out his own pokemon, Golett, the Ground/Ghost-type pokemon. Comparing both pokemons on the field, Sandsh is clearly the stronger pokemon as it is in its final form and its attack and defense are way more than Golett. y is surprised by Julian''s choice as not many havee to challenge him with a ground type pokemon. Referee "Are both trainers ready?" The referee confirmed if both sides are ready or not, once he got their agreement he started the battle. Referee "Then, let the battle begin" y "Sandsh, use Dig" As soon as the start signal was given, y made his move, he is really a trainer that didn''t give a chance to his opponent. Julian "Golett, use Iron Defense, the Defense Curl" Golett quickly used Iron Defense and covered his body with metal aura increasing his defense and then curled up into a ball increasing his defense even further, suddenly Sandsh tore the ground apart from below and sent Golett flying in the air but its attack didn''t cause a lot of damage. Julian "Now, Ice Punch" Golett who was rolled up unrolled himself and faced towards Sandsh and punched at it with a full power Ice Punch. y "Counter with sh" Golett came down with a powerful Ice Punch and Sandsh used its massive sharp ws and swiped as hard as it can at its opponent, as both collided it created a sonic boom that covered the whole battlefield. Ice shards went flying everywhere and both pokemons backed off, it was a draw. While Golett seems to be ok, Ice has covered Sandsh''s w, Sandsh could feel the cold traveling through its body but it quickly took care of the problem by mming its w into the ground and shattering the Ice around its w. y knew that this battle will be a hard one as this opponent of his is way better than the ones he faced previously, and he put on an even serious face as he is about to go all out. Chapter 772 - Julian Vs Clay (2) y got serious as he knew this battle will be hard, his winning record has not been great recently, a month ago he lost to a weird emo kid, he then lost to a muscr man who was using a Sirfetch''d. Then he lost to a trainer who was using a Scolipede, after then he suffered a crushing defeat against the man named Dhrago. Right after he got his pokemons out of the pokemon center and they were back to kicking some ass, he is once again against another powerful trainer, he hated Julian for challenging the whole world. ?? Most of the time he would spend his time in the mines digging stuff with his pokemons as it was his side job and passion but with Julian''s challenge to the world, all these strong hidden trainers areing out to participate in the Unova League. y couldn''t take a breath and another challenger woulde knocking on the door to challenge him. When it was not like this he had a lot of time for himself and his mining activity as most of the trainers that aren''t strong and not fit of the league''s requirement would get eliminated at Nimbasa city itself as Elesa would never allow anyone who is not strong enough to advance forward. But now things have changed and it is up to y to filter out more trainers till the best of the best can enter the league. He looked at his Sandsh and noticed it shaking its hand to get rid of the cold that if felt in his hand, that Ice Punch was a serious problem for his Sandsh and he needs to think of another way to deal with his opponent. y "Sandsh, use Sand Attack" Hearing him his Sandsh charged at Golett once again while exposing its massive ws, as it got a little closer to Golett, it curled up its arm and jabbed at the ground and flung arge amount of sand at Golett. The size of this attack was massive as it covered Golett''s entire field of vision and he is not fast enough to dodge it. y "Now, use Night sh" y decided to bring out the big moves now and since his Sandsh knows Night sh why not use it to deal a lethal blow to his opponent''s pokemon. Julian already figured what y was thinking and decided to pour cold water on him. Julian "Use Stomping Tantrum" Stomping Tantrum is just an Earthquake that has been nerfed, it is still a very powerful move but not as destructive as an Earthquake, if Golett wants to learn Earthquake he will have to evolve to master it. Before Sandsh could even attack, Golett started to m the ground with his legs causing it to shake violently as energy pulse traveled through he ground and was about to hit Sandsh when y made another call. y "Quickly jump" Sandsh jumped avoiding the Stomping Tantrum but it missed its chance tond the Night sh, the Sand Attack came crashing down on Golett and covered his body with sand but it was not a big deal because Sandshnded a meter front of him and tried to maintain its bnce after that jump. Julian "Now, use Ice Punch" Golett got the chance and since his opponent is so close he was able tond the Ice Punch, the punch sent Sandsh rolling backward on the ground as the Ice that was spreading over its belly shattered and flew everywhere. That hit was devastating but y''s Sandsh didn''t give up and got back to its feet but it was visibly hurt, one could still see a few pieces of Ice stuck on its belly spreading its coldness throughout Sandsh''s body. It used its massive ws to chip the Ice away but one could still see the marks left behind by the Ice Punch. y frowned. Thatst move was unexpected, he thought that he tricked his opponent by blocking his pokemon''s field of vision but his opponent used Stomping Tantrum to make his pokemon take action sooner than required causing his to lose the exchange again. And that Ice Punch was showing its effects, it was potent and would spread all over Sandsh''s body if it didn''t break it as soon as possible. y didn''t waste any time and went for attack again, he didn''t believe that Julian''s Golett could just overpower his Sandsh in a head to head sh, their very first exchange was a draw because Golett attacked while falling down allowing it to use the force of gravity to his advantage but now that won''t happen. He was too focused on not getting hit but he decided to ignore it and take on Julian''s pokemon head on y "Sandsh, use Night sh" Sandsh charged at Golett once again, its massive sharp ws covered in dark energy charging at Golett with intent to deal heavy damage. Julian "Use Stomping Tantrum" Julian once again used Stomping Tantrum to take charge of the battlefield, he knew what y wanted and it was indeed the right thing to do but Julian won''t allow it, why would he put himself in a disadvantageous position and lose the battle if he can avoid it. Golett started to m the ground with his legs causing the ground to shake and energy impulse started to travel through the ground trying to hit anything that ites across. y "Ignore and continue forward" Sandsh was tough enough to not get destroyed by the shaking ground and the constant assault of the energy pulses that was touching its feet, it was also a ground type pokemon, and even though it is not resistant to ground type attacks it can still handle them better than other types of pokemons. Its feet hurt but it continued to run towards Golett using Night sh, if thisnds, it can be the deciding hit, one Golett is weak to Dark-type moves, second, his defense is way too low and Sandsh''s attack is very high and Night sh is a powerful Dark Type move, this can clearly be a one-hit move for Sandsh against a pokemon like Golett. Julian smiled as it was time to end this battle. Julian "Use Phantom Force" This is the newest move that Golett learned and a very powerful one. As Sandsh got closer and swung its massive sharp w at Golett, his whole body turned into a ck silhouette and disappeared into his own shadow. The shadow then traveled behind the struggling Sandsh that just missed its attack and tried to not fall down. The ck silhouette came out of the shadow and turned back into Golett, his whole body covered in Ghostly energy, he then ced his hands on Sandsh''s shoulder causing Sandsh to feel its body go still then a jolt of pain hit its body, it was as if it was getting electrocuted. But it couldn''t tell what this feeling was as electric type attack doesn''t work on it, as Golett let go of Sandsh''s shoulder it tumbled on the ground slowly. Chapter 773 - Julian Vs Clay (3) y''s Sandsh slowly fell on the ground with a thud sound, its eyes closed and its mouth wide open, it has been knocked out and there are no questions about it. Phantom Force was indeed a terrifying move, if a pokemon is not careful of its surrounding, use one touch from a pokemon that used Phantom Force can put it in grave danger and if it is in the wild, it might even be food to the other pokemon. ?? y didn''t expect this at all, he lost his Sandsh and was able tond only one hit on his opponent and that too seemed useless as the Golett only suffered little damage from it, from then on it was all Golett. y looked at the masked trainer and frowned, this level of experience was too much for y to handle, he could tell that this guy that is in front of him was no lesser of a trainer than Dhrago, at least this trainer is a merciful and didn''t try to kill his pokemons. Referee "Sandsh is unable to battle, Golett wins" The referee announced the result of the first exchange. y took a deep breath and called his Sandsh back, he took out another Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon. Even though he lost the first exchange, it was not over for him, Sandsh was not his strongest pokemon so this time he sent out his ace of his current team, like any other gym leader this team is not his elite team. His elite team is filled with pokemons that are very close to elite level or are elite level, the team he is currently using is to battle against challengers. He sent out his second pokemon, it is none other than an Excadrill, seeing his choice Julian already knows what to expect, he also has an Excadrill and he knows what to expect of this pokemon. His Excadrill can be called the strongest Excadrill of his level in this world and to reach that level he has to do a lot of training so Julian understands how they do stuff, what is their strength and weakness. Choosing Excadrill might be the biggest mistake he made. Julian called back Golett as he has won his battle and now its time for someone else, he took out a Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon, Fraxure. His shiny Fraxure took his ce on the battlefield and looked at his opponent, an Excadrill. He has experience battling his friend Excadrill and he still hasn''t won a battle against him, only because of the power gap between them. But it might be different the next time he battles against his friend before he was just an Axew whose strength was limited by the stage he was in and now that he is a Fraxure, there has been a great increase in his stats but he is still far away from matching Excadrill in pure physical strength. Fraxure roared, his roar is still not loud and dominating as Garchomp''s but he will get there once he reaches his final stage. Fraxure''s roar is like a battle cry, he is telling his opponent that it is going down, Excadrill seems to be pissed off at Fraxure''s taunt. Referee "Let the battle begin" The referee waved off for the start of the battle and y once again went for the offensive. y "Excadrill, use Fury Swipes" Excadrill was already pissed off at Fraxure so it didn''t hold back, it just charged at Fraxure with glowing ws, as he got close he started to swipe his massive metal w at Fraxure. Julian "Use Protect" Fraxure used Protect to block all those Fury Swipes. Julian "Now Dragon Pulse" As Protect faded away after the Fury Swipes ended, Fraxure sted a Dragon Pulse at point-nk range, Excadrill got hit and sent it back rolling but it didn''t have much effect because Fraxure doesn''t have great Special Attack stats, it can be considered bad. Excadrill just got up and shrugged off the pain as if it was nothing. y "Use sh" Excadrill charged at Fraxure once again trying to deal damage, this time Fraxure cannot use Protect as it needs a cool down before he can use it again. Julian "Use Dragon w" Fraxure counted with a more powerful move to counter, as both collide it created a shock wave that traveled all across the battlefield and both pokemons backed off. y didn''t stop and continued with his attacks, he believed in his Excadrill and he also knew that Julian''s Fraxure cannot just keep up with the counters against a more powerful opponent. y "Use Dig" Excadrill dove into the ground and charged towards Fraxure without being noticed by him. Julian "Use Sword Dance" Julian waited for Excadrill to attack. Since his Fraxure doesn''t have any counter move for a Dig, he waited till Excadrill makes a move, the ground behind Fraxure started to shake and Excadrill charged out andnded a hit on Fraxure but this was what Julian was waiting for. As he got attacked, Julian made his move. Julian "Now use Payback" Payback is a move that doubles in power if the pokemon was attacked by other pokemon first, Fraxure turned and crashed into Excadrill using Payback. Excadrill got sent flying backward as the Payback was devastating, Fraxure also fell down on the ground as he was hurt by that Dig as well. Both pokemon were on the ground, Fraxure got up as he is much tougher than he seems but Excadrill was struggling to get up, that Payback was not something one should survive but Excadrill survived it anyway. As it tried to struggle up, Julian decided to end it. Julian "Use Dual Chop" Fraxure charged at the fallen Excadrill and was about tond the Dual Chop when y made a move again. y "Horn Drill" The fallen Excadrill got to its feet and started to spin really fast and tried to hit Fraxure, if this movends it will be over and Fraxure will lose as it is a one-hit move, the power behind this move is too much to just counter it and the gap between them is too little for Fraxure to dodge. Julian "Use Protect" Fraxure quickly switched from Dual Chop to Protect and quickly put himself behind a protective shield but the Horn Drill won''t stop there, it easily got past the Protect and shattered it but it gave Fraxure enough time to move to the side and dodge the move. That was a very close call, it was thanks to Julian keeping an eye out of y and his pokemon till the very end as he knows that the battle is not over until thest pokemon of either trainer is down for good. Now that he dodged it, it was time for Julian to make his move. Julian "Use Crunch" As Excadrill is still trying to stop from spinning after using its lethal move that just failed, Fraxure got the distance and used Crunch, a massive dark jaw of energy appeared in the air and shut down hard on Excadrill causing an explosion. Excadrill was tossed to the ground as he rolled for a while and stopped, it tried to get up but it was out of energy but it is still conscious. Julian decided to end this and called for a Dragon Pulse, Fraxure sted a Dragon Pulse at the fallen Excadrill, the Dragon Pulsended and this was the end of the battle. The exhausted hurt Excadrill went down as thest bit of its energy was used to resist the Dragon Pulse and got knocked out. This battle could have been won by y if Julian was not attentive enough, the Excadrill would havended the Horn Drill and Julian would have faced his very first loss in a pokemon battle but it didn''t happen because he was aware of his surrounding and kept an eye on both his opponent and his pokemon. Chapter 774 - Leaving Driftveil City Julian finally won his fifth gym challenge in Unova and he is now back on track, some of the powerful trainers are already way ahead of him but it really doesn''t matter, he has a lot of time till the league starts and there are other things to do as well. If he gets enough time he might go in search of Kyurem again but that might have to wait, he can do it after he collects all the badges before the league. ?? y looked at his fallen Excadrill and sighed, this is another loss that will be added to his record, his record has not been very good and now he suffered another huge loss, this was apletely one-sided battle because he was controlled by his opponent the whole time. While his battle with Dhrago was different, Dhrago was very aggressive and destroyed his pokemon and didn''t give him a chance to retaliate while this opponent of his controlled the battlefield from the very beginning. Putting him in a false security that he was doing something but in the end, he couldn''t do much at all, he was fighting a losing battle. With nothing else to do, he walked towards his opponent and handed him Quake badge as proof of Julian''s victory over him. Julian thanked him and made his way out of the gym and headed back into the city to enjoy his day, he took his pokemons to have their favorite treat, then took them out to y in the pokemon park. Once he spent the rest of his day outside enjoying with his pokemon, he headed back to Sk''s penthouse, just like every day, she was waiting for him to serve him, he smiled at her and ordered her to do everything the same she did yesterday and day before yesterday and day before that day. It has be routine for her. _________________ At night on Julian''s bed, Sk is sucking his dick while looking at him with her lustful eyes, hoping today is the day she gets to do it with him. Julian "We will leave tomorrow to Mistralton City, your gym has been closed for quite a while now, you need to get back to it" Sk nodded her head and continued to suck his dick until he came inside her mouth, she drank it all in one go happily, this was the best part of her day in her opinion. Once she was done Julian sent her away and went to sleep. __________________ The next morning he woke up early and got ready to visit the next city, now that he thinks about it, his next battle is against his own servant Sk, from being a horny slut to a faithful servant, the change was huge and Julian liked where this was heading too. But Julian won''t just ask for a badge from her. After getting ready he walked out and found the breakfast was already prepared and Sk has already packed her bags so they can head to Mistralton City. After having their breakfast they got into her sports car and drove off to the airport, Sk had already done arrangements for them to go to Mistralton City, they were flying in a private jet that belonged to some rich dude in Mistralton and it was asked to be delivered there. Sk told the airport department that she can take the jet there as she is heading there anyway, since she has a lot of influence in the international air department, they didn''t even ask her a reason for her to do so. She has been a partner of the biggest airline in this world and is quite famous as well so it was a very easy task for her to get that jet. She could bring as many people as she wants in the private jet, once both of them got there they didn''t have to wait in the line as Sk is the pilot and she could bring her passenger with her. They easily allowed both of them to pass through, then they were escorted towards the private jet that Sk was asked to deliver. Julian looked at the private jet and sighed, he could never ask himself to buy one of these as they are very bad investments, buying a private jet is stupid as they cost a lot even if they are just kept inside a hanger without being used. When ites tond or real estate they can be considered as a good investment, just like the mansion Julian bought, as time passes the price of the mansion will keep going up as they have historic importance to them, they were once used by the royal and influential people of ancient Unova, but when ites to private jets, it''s a huge no-no for Julian. Sk and Julian walked up thedder and into the private jet, there seems to be a beautiful sexy air hostess already present there waiting for them, when they arrived she smiled and them and bowed at them as it was a custom. She looked at Julian for a while because she knows who he is, she was already informed about the identity of the people that will be flying in the private jet, when the airline who was managing this private jet learned about Julian also traveling with Sk, they asked their best air hostess toe and serve Julian during the flight. Even the air hostess was excited when she learned about this and decided to prepare her self really well. Julian looked at this air hostess and was impressed by her beauty, she didn''t have outstanding curves like Sk, Sasha, or Chloe but she did look very sexy, long slim legs and was very fair skin, she is clearly a foreigner and didn''t belong to Unova. Julian could already see the redness in her cheeks, she was clearly for a country that was in the northern hemisphere as people this white can only be found there. "Wee guest, my name is Anastasia, hope you enjoy your time during the flight" She said and greeted both Julian and Sk but she was a little more focused on Julian as he is the one she wants to impress and Julian was already impressed. Her beauty was top notch, even the best of the best models in this world would pale inparison to her beauty, and most of the people in this world would even tell that she is even more beautiful than all of Julian''s girlfriends but he would beg to differ as he loved them and in his eyes, no one was more beautiful that his three girlfriends. But Julian did find this Anastasia very attractive and would love to have her for a meal, the way she carried herself and the way she talked with a very different ent made her look like a unique desert in Julian''s eyes. Sk saw this and smiled, it was actually her who told to send their best air hostess to serve Julian as he is the best and he needs the best. Julian nodded and walked past her and took a seat, Sk walked into the pilot cab and started to do her thing, Anastasia also started to do her thing as well like preparing food and drinks for Julian. Soon the jet''s door closed and Julian could hear Sk talking to someone through her headset asking if it is ok to take off or not. Once it was given the ok signal from the monitoring team, the sound of the jet engine hit Julian''s ear and the jet started to move forward, soon it gained speed at an incredible rate and suddenly the jet was off the ground and took to the air. After a minute the jet finally stabilized in the air and it was ok to move around again, Julian looked out of the window and could see the jet slowly rising upward leaving Driftveil city behind them. Chapter 775 - Fucking An Air Hostess (18+) Sex scene, if not interested you can skip after reading the first few paragraphs! _____________________ ?? After a few minutes when the jet was already high up in the sky Julian noticed Anastasia walking towards him pushing a food trolley in front of her, the food trolley had a lot of things on top of it, sushi, chicken, and other kinds of meat, there are also wine, whisky, and beer on the table so Julian can choose. Anastasia "What would you like to have?" She asked in her very sexy foreign ent while bending down a little showing off her cleavage to Julian while her ass popped from behind, she is clearly here to get his attention because it will benefit her no matter what. A good word from Julian will help her career, she can even gain a lot of online attention as well, she can be a massive model if she got endorsed by Julian. Julian saw Anastasia''s body and felt the need to touch her and he didn''t hold back, if she is presenting herself to him, why would he not do it, he took his hand and ced it on her soft thigh and rubbed it, Anastasia shook a little but smiled at Julian. She didn''t expect Julian to be so forward but she liked it, if it was someone else she would have backed off and might have even said something offensive even if that guy is a billionaire but it is Julian, he is a billionaire and a very young one and he is very handsome as well and the way he touched her made her feel really good. Julian "What else is there except these?" He asked and smiled at her while continuing to rub her thigh, he then moved a little forward and started to press her small but soft ass. Anastasia "I can provide anything Mr. Julian wants" She said and smiled as well with a very flirty tone and with her ent, it sounded really sexy in Julian''s ears. Julian "Good" He said and grabbed her hip and pulled her down and made her sit on hisp, he then grabbed her cheeks softly with his hand and made her face him and kissed her, they started to kiss and their tongue danced and twisted with each other. As they kissed, Julian''s hands started to move around her body as he fondled her breast, she wanted to moan but her mouth was busy and Julian was not letting her go, she became lost as she lost control of her body as she left it in the mercy of Julian''s control. She never felt like this before, Julian''s hand undressed her coat and revealed her bare body under it, he then started to rub her nipples and pinch her while continuing to be kissed by him, Julian finally let her go as she took a deep breath, the saliva that stretched out from Julian''s to her mouth started to drop down. Anastasia "God, Mr. Julian, I have never felt like this before, no wonder women like you so much, your girlfriends are really lucky to have you" Julian "Indeed they are lucky" He said and grabbed her face and kissed her again, she again lost control of her body as he yed with it, his hands then moved down as he started to y with her pussy, he could already feel her wet pussy, he inserted two fingers inside and started to shake it very fast. Anastasia''s lower body moved with pleasure and she released it all, she came all over the jet''s floor but Julian was not done with her, he let her go as she took another deep breath, her mind was nk for a few seconds before she finally came back to her sense, she then realized that she will never be able to experience it again if she cannot meet Julian again. Julian "You are a really good kisser" He said. Anastasia "Mr. Julian, you are also the best one I have ever experienced" Julian "Now let''s see how good you really are with that mouth" He said and made her kneel down in front of his legs and unzipped his pants showing her his big cock, she gasped as she saw its size, it is the biggest dick she has ever seen. Anastasia "My God, Mr. Julian, your dick is so beautiful" She said and grabbed it and started to stroke it slowly while licking it with her tongue, she then took the tip in her mouth and looked at Julian while making a long face, her lips stretched as she went up and down his dick while she maintained eye contact with him. She continued to go down deeper and cocked on his did but she didn''t stop, she became more aggressive with it and Julian didn''t have to do anything, he was just impressed by how good she really is, this is the best blow job he has ever gotten. She was so good that she made Julian cum faster than he expected, Anastasia wouldn''t have done this to anyone but she really wanted to impress Julian with her skills so she went all out, as she felt Julian''s dick getting even stiffer, she knew he was about toe. She tried to move back a little but suddenly felt his hand grab her head and push his dick deeper down her throat, she was taken by surprise but she was powerless against it. She felt his dick slip down her throat and shoot down his hot cum down her throat, even though she was trying her best to go as deep as possible she couldn''t but now Julian pushed her she really felt his dick expanding her throat. She couldn''t breathe but her mouth was filled with hise, it gushed out so hard that some of it came out of her nose, once he let her go and took out his massive dick she took a deep breath as excess cum dripped down her mouth and nose, her eyes are red and her throat a little sore from that deep throat. She wiped her face and smiled at him. Julian "Now, let''s taste the main course" Anastasia "Yes, Mr. Julian" She said and walked in front of him and bent down on the table revealing her dripping wet pussy, Julian grabbed her hip and got close to her pussy, he could already smell the fresh fragrance it released, she had already prepared her pussy. She had already prepared to get fucked by Julian before she even took a step inside this private jet. Julian "You take good care of yourself" He said and licked it, she moaned as she felt Julian''s tongue entering her pussy. Anastasia "Only for Mr. Julian" Julian "Good" He continued to eat her pussy as her moans grew louder, this of course attracted Sk''s attention, she turned around and saw Julian eating her pussy, she looked at Anastasia''s facial expression and smiled because she was also making the same face when Julian was eating her pussy like that. After a few minutes Julian could feel that Anastasia was close toing, he backed off and inserted his finger inside and made her squirt again, Julian had already moved to the side as he watches she squirt all over the seat he was sitting. Julian "That was a good meal, now time for dessert" Anastasia "Anything for Mr. Julian" She said as she was already lost in pleasure, Julian smiled and finally took his dick and inserted inside her vagina, his dick stretched it properly till the end, as she felt his dick travel inside her vagina, she released a loud moan, luckily they are in the air and inside a private jet. He then started to pound her from behind as he pulled her hair and fondle her breast, her moans became wilder and louder, Sk also noticed this and felt jealous as this bitch got to fuck Julian while she just met him half an hour ago but she still hasn''t gotten it even though they met over a week ago. She saw the expression that Anastasia was making and felt really horny and started to touch herself as well while flying the jet. Julian fucked Anastasia for an hour straight and made her squirt multiple times, he also came inside her as well, Anastasia really knew how to have sex and please a man, Julian didn''t want to admit it but she was the best sex partner he had till now, he loved fucking Sasha, he loved ying around with Sk and he loved to make love with his three girlfriends but fucking this bitch who is riding his cock right now in front of him as her breast went up and down in front of her face felt very different. He grabbed her hips again and drilled her till she finally copsed down on top of Julian. Julian "From now on you are my servant, got it?" Anastasia "Yes master" She said. Julian never thought that he would make another servant but after feeling how good this foreign beauty really is how could he just let her go and get fucked by other rich dudes. Julian "This body belongs to me and me alone, no one else" Anastasia "Yes, I will not allow anyone else to touch this body of mine except master" Julian "Good" He said and finally pulled his dick out and put Anastasia to the side as cum dripped down her pussy. Hours passed and the jet finallynded in Mistralton airport, Anastasia had already cleaned up all the mess she and Julian made around the jet and put on a new set of uniform, even though her legs were really sour and her pussy was throbbing she maintained herself and put on the perfect air hostess face again. Sknded the jet effortlessly and walked out of the cabin and looked at Anastasia with jealous eyes as she got fucked by Julian while she still hasn''t luckily Julian put Sk in charge of Anastasia making her the more important servant out of the two. Anastasia understood this but didn''t mind at all, she would do anything for Julian just to have sex with him again. ______________________ A/N - Thought of writing another sex scene and add a new servant to Julian''s harem because who wouldn''t want that. Keep in mind that these girls are not the main girls so they will never get the same attention as Chloe, Daisy, and Cynthia. Chapter 776 - To Skylas House Julian got up his feet and put on his pants and waited for Anastasia to get back to her position, she was struggling to walk a little bit as her pussy is still sore and her legs are shaking from all the pounding she received from Julian. Luckily for her she impressed Julian with her skills and became his servant, he took her number and told Sk to make sure that she is treated well and to make sure no one touches her ever again. ?? The door of the jet finally opened and a few people came near the jet to refuel the jet and do some maintenance, Julian walked towards the door right behind Anastasia while his hand on her small but, he liked to press them as they fit his palm perfectly, if he had more time he would have fucked her again but it was not the time. He already has her number so he can call her to his ce if he wants her. He walked out of the jet with Sk, Anastasia stayed behind to do some cleaning before she leaves, Julian noticed that Sk was jealous as he could see it on her face but he didn''t bother tofort her, she will get it soon and he won''t go easy on her like Anastasia. Just like before Sk has another car parked outside the airport and this time she once again offered Julian to stay in her house but this time they will not be alone as her grandfather also lives there. Hearing this Julian smiled as some thoughts came to his mind, just like in Driftveil city Julian drove the car while Sk sat in the passenger seat, but this time Sk was being a good girl and sucking his dick along the ride like a good girl, one hand on the staring wheel and the other hand on top of her head. As he stopped in front of the traffic light he stopped the car and waited for it to go green again, he suddenly noticed someone pull right by the car on a bike, he turned his head and found out that it was none other than Officer Jenny. As she was wearing special sses that allowed them to look through the tinted ss so criminals cannot hide from them, she noticed what was happening inside the car. She saw how Julian was getting a blow job, his hand grabbing Sk''s hair while he pushed her down his dick, Officer Jenny was shocked by this as she stared at the process, Julian realized that she was able to see what is happening inside but he didn''t stop and just watched her. Jenny looked at it but she couldn''t do anything, she felt hot seeing the process but she couldn''t stop them because it was not against thew, it was the woman who was giving the blow job, the driver has his hands on the steering wheel and he is looking at the lights. She couldn''t see the man''s face because he is wearing a mask. Julian smiled and released a massive load inside Sk''s mouth, she gulped it all up and lifted her face leaving behind a trail of cum dripping down her mouth, when Officer Jenny saw who the girl is and she is shocked. Jenny ''It''s gym leader Sk, my god, she is such a slut, look at her expression'' Jenny thought as she looked at Sk''s lustful expression as she made that slutty face, Officer Jenny then finally saw what Sk was sucking on, she gasped as she saw its size. Jenny ''My God, it''s so big, I wonder how she was able to fit that inside her?'' She thought. Then she suddenly saw the man grabbing Sk''s head again and forcing her back into sucking his dick for a second round. Jenny didn''t know what to do, she wanted to ignore it but the thing was too hot to ignore and with all the stress she has to go through every day, stuff like this is pretty rare. She then suddenly noticed the window of the car going down, she was startled and then she heard the sound of Sk chocking on the massive dick, luckily they were the only ones in the traffic. Julian "Officer, you see to be enjoying the show" He said and looked at her. Jenny "What, no, what the hell are you doing?" She asked. Julian "You look stressed, here take it, you can call me if you want" He said and gave her a card with just a number on it, Jenny took the card and was surprised by the man''s action, she looked at Sk who wasn''t even bothered by their talk and was busy on sucking that dick. The window then closed as the light turned green and Julian rode off leaving Officer Jenny behind as she looked at the number for a few seconds and put it inside her pocket, she was tempted and she didn''t know why. ____________________ Julian drove to Sk''s house as she continued to serve Julian, he came inside her mouth once again before finally stopping, he filled her stomach with just his cum. Julian parked the car outside her house and looked at it, it looked like an old fashioned home made of wood and nails but it didn''t matter, as both of them got out of the car, an old man walked out of the house and walked towards them. "My little sweetheart, how are you?" The old man said and walked towards Sk and hugged her and Sk hugged him back. Sk "Grandpa" She said. Grandpa "Hm, *sniff**sniff*, you smell weird?" He asked. Sk was stunned as she realized she was smelling like Julian''s cum, she would never want to wash it away as she was addicted to it but since her Grandpa is here she has to take a bath. Sk "Oh, I haven''t taken a bath till now and I am very sweaty right now" She said and let go of her grandpa. Grandpa "I see" He said and then looked at the young man in a ck mask. Sk "Oh, I forgot, grandpa, this is my friend Julian and he will be living with us for a few days" She said cheerfully. Seeing how happy his sweet innocent granddaughter was for having a friend stay at home, how could he deny her, she smiled at Julian and weed him. Grandpa "Wee young man, treat this as your own house" He said and shook Julian''s hand, unlike Sk, Julian had no smell on him as he can get rid of it anytime with Omniforce. Julian "Thankyou very much, I will don''t worry" He said and smiled back. He looked at Sk''s grandpa and he was like any other normal old man, short, bald, has bad eyesight, and also bad hearing as he is already wearing a hearing aid. Julian ''This is going to be fun'' Julian thought as he followed the Old man and Sk into the house while pressing her ass right behind her grandpa''s back as she tried her best to not make a sound. Chapter 777 - Ignorant Grandpa As they walked into the house, Sk couldn''t contain her moan and let it our loudly on top of that, the old man heard something and turned around. Grandpa "Did something happen?" ?? He asked his granddaughter, concerned about her. Sk "No, its nothing, something must be stuck in my shoe, it pocked me a little bit, how about you and Julian talk while I change my dress" She said and walked towards her room as Julian checked her out as he is soon going to p those cheeks. Grandpa "Isn''t she a lovely princess?" He said while looking at Sk. Julian "Yes, she is very sweet" Grandpa "Haha, I know, my little princess is the sweetest innocent girl in this world, I just hope she doesn''t get influenced by all those industry people and corrupt her" He said and sighed while taking a seat on the sofa, Julian looked at the old man speechless, even before he met Sk, she was a horny slut and he still thinks she is an innocent young girl. Julian "I hope so as well" He said. Grandpa "You look like a good young man, take a seat" He said and pointed at the sofa, Julian nodded and took his seat. Grandpa "So how long have both of you been friends?" Julian "It''s been a while" Grandpa "So has anyone tried to approach her?" Julian "Don''t worry about it grandpa, I won''t allow anyone to get close to her" He said. Grandpa "Good, good, I knew you are a nice person, Sk is lucky to have a friend like you" Julian "I am as lucky as her" Grandpa "Nice, I like you, you can stay here as long as you want" He said andughed. Sk walked out of her roompletely naked and into the bathroom while shaking her ass, Julian saw her and smiled. Julian "By the way, where is the bathroom, I need to go" Grandpa "Oh, go straight and right down the hall" Julian "Thank you" He said and got up the couch and headed to the bathroom, inside he saw Skpletely naked, she saw Julian and went on her knee once again, he once again fucked her throat as he made a loud noise, luckily the shower''s sound faded them away. Once he was done he left her alone once again, Sk really felt that Julian would do her but he didn''t but she wasn''t disappointed, having his dick inside her mouth was her favorite thing. Grandpa noticed Julian walk back and sit down. Grandpa "Where is Sk, she is taking quite long" Julian "I don''t know, I didn''t see her" Grandpa "Well, she is a girl, she must be getting ready, you know how long they can take to prepare themselves" He said and sighed. Julian noticed Sk weting down the hall with a towel around her body as she walked into the room, she soon walked out wearing a tight shirt. the buttons on that shirt were being stretched out to the full, just a little pressure and they might pop off, she is also wearing a very short skirt, if she even bent down a little one could see her panty. Grandpa "Oh, look at your dress, they have be so small, you are growing really fast, you should go and buy new ones for yourself" Sk "Ok, Grandpa" Julian saw this and was stunned, how could a person be so blind, she was clearly dressed like a slut but he didn''t even bother to judge her clothes, he thought that she was growing and Sk continued to act innocent. She hopped and sat down next to Julian happily. Julian could stay here and mess around with Sk but he had other things to do. Julian "I will go and explore the city and wille back tonight, please don''t wait for me" He said and got off the couch and headed out, Sk seems to be disappointed but didn''t question him. Grandpa "Enjoy your day" Julian "Thankyou" He said and walked out of Sk''s house and headed out to the city, if Julian remembers correctly Sk''s grandpa''s name is Miles and he was the previous gym leader of this city''s gym but now he is retired, he was a very strong trainer but now he is retired he doesn''t have use for his pokemons. Sk told him that he gave his elite team to her as she has not been a gym leader for long, gyms are not only for getting a badge and entering the league. When the league is not around the corner, trainers would challenge them to train their pokemons and win some money and during these battles, they don''t have to hold back and the trainers would have to give their all to win the battle. This also made so that trainers could use all types of pokemons of different levels and gym leaders should have to battle them with pokemons of equal level and strength, Sk''s elite team is for veteran trainers. Julian wondered how good Sk really is when ites to pokemon battle, her record says that she is very though, even though she is quite a new gym leader her way of battling is very unique and puts a lot of pressure on her challengers. Well he is not worried about that right now, he still has time so he decided to look around the city and have some fun and then train his pokemons for the uing battle. Chapter 778 - Breeding Center Mistralton city is not the biggest city in Unova but their airport is massive and most of Unova''s cargoes and goes from here to other parts of the world, while east Unova is very old fashioned and ancient in their culture, west Unova is very well developed and modern. After looking around the city he found nothing interesting except a pokemon breeding center, Julian had some interest in pokemon breeding so he decided to go and check out this ce and see if he can find anything or not. ?? When he arrived in front of the breeding center, he was surprised by how big the center really is, he could see multiple trainersing and going in and out of the center. Some seemed really excited as they had a small pokemon around their arms while some were not so much, even though they had a pokemon with them, it was not what they expected it to be. He also saw people carrying pokemons eggs into the center as well. Many people came here, some came to deposit pokemon eggs because they don''t know how to take care of them, some came here to breed their pokemons so that they can have a more powerful pokemon if everything goes right. Pokemon breeding is one of the biggest businesses in this world and the desire and needs for powerful pokemons are always huge and these tasks are taken on by the breeding industry. As they provide healthy baby pokemons to the huge organizations and police force as well, even the league depends on them to send some powerful pokemons to them and in return, they get paid a lot. Pokemon breeders are one of the highest-paid individuals in the world because they understand breeding and how to bring a pokemon with great potential into the world like no other profession. But this is a very hard job as well, things are not easy, to breed a powerful pokemon is very hard, sometimes a baby will not inherit a powerful move that its parents might have which it could never learn on its own or be thought. So breeding the perfect baby pokemon that carries its parent''s ability or moves needs a lot of research, studying, and absorbing the parent pokemons before they finally make them breed. __________________ Julian walked into the center and noticed a big yard filled with baby pokemons, each of them had a tag on them which disyed a number, these baby pokemons are newborns and waiting for their trainers toe and collect them. They should have been left behind as an egg and now they are hatched they won''t have to stay here for long, he saw a lot of people around the yard as well, as they yed with these baby pokemons, some of them are here to collect their pokemons while others are here to see if anyone is willing to exchange their pokemons for another. Peoplee to breeding centers to find suitable pokemon to raise and sometimes they offer their stronger pokemon who is already a high level to someone in exchange for their baby pokemon. At first, it seems like the person with the baby pokemon seems to be getting the bigger end of the deal but it''s not, these people who want to exchange their pokemons are veterans, they could have easily caught a wild high-level pokemon in the wild ande here to exchange them for a good breed baby pokemon that has the potential to be more powerful than the pokemon they exchanged. Since these baby pokemons are babies, it''s easy for them to get attached to the person they spend time with the most while the wild adult pokemon might be tough to handle. Luckily most trainers don''t fall for this but some do and most of them are rookies who just started their pokemon journey. He saw how these small pokemons stumbled and fall while running around, it made his smile, this atmosphere is really nice. He continued exploring and found another thing that caught his interest, a battlefield but very small in size, it is for baby pokemons to battle and train. And there is a battle going on right now, a newly hatched Riolu battling a new hatched Treecko, since they are newly hatched they don''t have many moves to battle, with only Tackle and Scratch in their arsenal they cannot do much unless they inherited a powerful move from either of their parents. As the battle continued the Treecko suddenly used Leaf Storm and defeated its opponent, Julian was surprised as he realized that this Treecko has massive potential, he could already see it before, both it and Riolu were great pokemons but this Treecko used Leaf Storm, one of the strongest grass type moves, it must have inherited from one of its parents. Julian "That''s a good Treecko, hope you take care of it, you might even be a champion with that one along your side" Julian said as he looked at the kid who was using the Treecko, the boy looked at Julian who is wearing a mask and nodded happily while holding on tightly to his Treecko, the other young kid was a little sad that he lost but Julian cheered him as well. Julian "I also had a Riolu and now she is a very powerful Lucario, your''s can be one to so don''t give up" The body nodded and lifted his Riolu from the ground, both boys then talked to each other and ran away to y, they look very young but they already have pokemons with very high potential, Julian just hopes that they don''t fuck up. As he was looking around someone walked towards him and Julian noticed this man from the side of his eye and turned around. "Hello, I am the caretaker of this breeding center, how can I help you?" The man said. Julian looked at this man, average height with ck hair and white skin, he looked like a good person. Julian "I am just here to look around, this ce seems nice to hand around" "I see, then have a good ti-" Suddenly he stopped as his watch started to beep, he became alerted after looking at the screen in the watch and rushed back. Julian saw this and got curious and followed the man to wherever he is going. Chapter 779 - The Rouge Kid Julian followed the man as he was led to the other side of the massive yard, Julian heard explosionsing through, when he heard this he was surprised and rushed towards the area. When he arrived there he saw something very interesting, a Deino and it is going rouge, it is sting Dragon Pulse everywhere and causing trouble. ?? Julian looked at this Deino and was impressed by it, it''s Dragon Pulse looks very powerful for its level, Julian knows that Deino''s are aggressive pokemons, since they can''t see they constantly move around biting and tackling everything in their surrounding to learn about it. But this Deino was not just aggressive, it was destroying everything, the baby pokemons around the area were already taken away as they could get hurt, Julian also noticed that this Deino is the only pokemon which is very strong here, rest of the pokemons here are either baby pokemons. And for the parent pokemons that are kept from breeding, they are inside the center in another area, this Deino is very powerfulpared to other pokemons in this massive yard, it may even be able to hold its own against Julian''s Larvesta if it wants to. Julian looked at the man who he followed and walked towards him. Julian "Why is that Deino acting like this?" He asked. "Ah, that Deino is special, as you can see, he is the best pokemon we ever bred in our center but he is very aggressive and no one is able to control it at all, his first trainer couldn''t handle him and sent him back to us. We decided to send him to the police but they couldn''t handle him as well, we sent him to the league and they couldn''t do it either. Now we are responsible to take care of him, we don''t know what to do, if we release him in the wild, he might cause a lot of damage and he might even die, and being the best pokemon we ever bred we cannot just let it go. Now he goes rogue and starts attacking without any warning and we always have people around him ready to remove all the pokemons around the are when he goes rouge" He exined and sighed, it was really troublesome to take care of this Deino. Julian "That''s very troublesome" He said while looking at the Deino with interest, he wondered how hard it can be to control this little beast and he was intrigued by the idea of bringing this little one under control, he could already see what a power pokemon this Deino is. This man is not lying when he said that Deino was the best pokemon they ever bred but the side effect was he was very aggressive in nature, he didn''t bite and tackle, he destroyed things with his Dragon Pulse. Julian "What if I am able to calm it down?" He asked. Hearing him the man was surprised but he was doubtful, many tried to control this little beast but none could, he was too tough to handle and nobody dared to get close to him after experiencing its brutality. "I don''t know if it''s a good idea, if you really think you can calm him down then he is yours, anyone able to calm him should be able to train him" He said. Julian "So how do you usually deal with him?" "Well we just let him vent till he gets exhausted and goes to sleep" He said. Julian "I understand" He said and walked past the man and towards the rouge Deino. When the breeders and their assistants saw a man approaching the Deino without any caution, they were surprised. ''Does he have a death wish'' This was the only thought that they had in their mind. The Deino who is sting Dragon Pulse everywhere stopped and turned at Julian''s direction, even though they cannot see, they have very good hearing, even the slightest twitch that cannot even be heard by humans can be detected by them. Deino the suddenly sted a Dragon Pulse at him, Julian jumped to the side and dodged the attack, this Deino was really aggressive and didn''t allow anyone to get near him. Being a Dragon, Julian already knew how to easily calm it down, Dragons are dominant species but if they are in presence of another Dragon that is more powerful they will be more well behaved, they should be powerful enough to intimidate the other party, even if they are strong but not intimidating it won''t work. And Deino being blind makes it even worse, it cannot see if someone is pissed off or not, it will keep attacking, Deinos in the wild are always under their protection of their parents, once they evolve into their second stage they will be left alone by their parents and they have to take care of themselves. With no parent to keep this little one is check, this is the reason why this little one is so aggressive, breeding Deino is a very bad idea and without its parents around its even worse, Julian doesn''t know why these people didn''t let this one hang out with its parent but that doesn''t matter anymore, this one is already out of control. No trainer would ever want to start off with a Deino, even Veterans stay away from this pokemon because they know how hard it actually is to control them but Julian wants to take on this challenge. He took out a Pokeball and sent out his Garchomp. Chapter 780 - Another New Member Julian sent out Garchomp to handle this little rouge Deino, as soon as Garchomp took the stage the Deino stopped and turned towards him while pausing for a few seconds, he could sense a very powerful pokemon nearby and its gaze locked on to him. Deino felt pressured and suddenly sted a Dragon Pulse at Garchomp, Garchomp didn''t move and took the hit direct on him but it didn''t even put a scratch on him, this type of puny attacks didn''t matter to him even if he is weaker to them. ?? Deino realized that his Dragon Pulse didn''t make any difference and he started to get intimated and started to walk back while growling at Garchomp, as the breeders saw Deino''s behavior they were surprised. It is not like they didn''t try to intimidate the little Deino but it never worked, and when it came to his parents they are already dead due to old age, Deino''s parents were very strong pokemons, equal to a champion level pokemon but they were very old. This Deino was thest one they gave birth to before dying so with no parents around they couldn''t find another recement for Deino, and finding a champion level pokemon is very hard, champions are called champions because they are the most powerful trainer in a region and only they are able to develop that level of pokemon. Even the league is not able to do so, just money cannot help, it depends on how good a trainer really is, and that is why the league puts so much effort into employee powerful trainers like champions and elite four. With no ess to champion level pokemon and that too a dragon, it was nearly impossible to calm down the Deino but now there was finally hope. The breeders could tell how powerful the Garchomp really is, his scales are shiny, his fangs and teeth are sharp and white, its des are pointy and sharp, its muscles are firm and strong, a pokemon that has been raised in the best condition, just his size is enough to tell that this Garchomp is the best, even an amateur can tell the difference. Seeing the Deino finally back of intimidated by the presence of this massive ck Garchomp, even though intimidated the Deino was not going to calm down, he sted another Dragon Pulse at Garchomp but just like before it had no effect. Deino seems to be getting frustrated, he suddenly started to shake its body and dropped a berry from the fur around its neck, he then ate the berry and used Belch. He sent a massive blob of poison at Garchomp and from the looks of it, this one looked very poisonous so Garchomp moved to the side, as the blob of poisonnded on the grass it sizzled and killed the grass on the ground as they turned brown and rotted. Julian is once again surprised by this, this Deino even knows how to use Belch, a very powerful poison type move and he could clearly see the effect of this attack, getting hit by one of them would inflict severe damage on an opponent and on top of that they might get poisoned as well. Seeing that his attack failed Deino was concerned now, he tried to shoot another Dragon Pulse but before he could, he heard a loud roar that scared the shit out of him and he backed off. Garchomp''s roar shook the whole premises and everyone got scared out of their mind, luckily the rouge little Deino had curled up into a ball afraid of the monster that is in front of him, Julian smiled awkwardly and started to approach Deino. He put up a very friendly aura while he walked towards Deino slowly, before the Deino was too aggressive to approach, now it has been backed to the corner and back to his senses in presence of a very dominant dragon, Julian is able to approach it. Deino noticed that someone is approaching him and he was a little concerned but the aura around this person was very rxing and he didn''t feel any danger, he soon forgot about the presence of the dominant dragon and calmed down as he let Julian approach him. Julian arrived right in front of Deino and bent down and touched his head and calmed him down, Deino couldn''t see who this person is but he feltfortable and safe as soon as Julian touched his head. He has never experienced this, some pokemons never meet their parents but sometimes they get lucky and survive the harsh jungle and turn out fine but Deinos need their parents to control them, it is their nature to destroy things and without any parent around, they get uncontroble just like this little guy. But now he looked like apletely different pokemon, even the breeders who have been taking care of this Deino were surprised by how calm he is right now. Deino felt safe around Julian and he has never felt this before and he felt happy, it was as if he finally found the thing that was missing in his life. Julian lifted the little guy and put him around his arm, seeing that Deino is being handled with hand, the breeders were once again surprised by this. Julian smiled and walked towards the man who brought him here. Julian "So, he is mine?" He asked. The man is stunned but quickly came back to his senses, he looked at the Deino which seems to be totally calm right now, he looked at Julian and back at Deino and finally sighed as a smile appeared on his face. "Finally, someone is able to control this little runt, I hope you take good care of it" He said and extended his hand, as he did Deino suddenly stretched his head and tried to bite off the man''s hand for approaching Julian. The man quickly pulled back andughed awkwardly. "Looks like he still needs a little more training, well anyways, thank you for taking care of Deino" He said and bowed, he then looked at Julian''s Garchomp with interest. "By the way, are you interested in breeding your Garchomp, its babies can be one of the best pokemons out there" He said interested in breeding Garchomp''s babies. Julian "Na, I am not interested" He said and called Garchomp back to his Pokeball before finally leaving the breeding center after bidding his farewell along with a new member in his team. Chapter 781 - Looking Into Skyla As Julian walked out of the breeding center with his new pokemon around his arms, he is really happy, he just got a pseudo legendary pokemon for free with no effort. Deino are hard to find in the wild, one of the hardest pokemons to find because of their nature to stay away from everything, they didn''t even like to hand around with other pokemons, the only time they would be around other pokemon is when they are chasing one for food. ?? So catching them in the wild is near impossible and even if someone is able to find them, they have to be very careful, they have to be very strong to defeat the Hydreigon that is protecting its baby. While people have to go through so much to catch one, Julian just got one for free, it is only because he showed that he could control this little rascal that even the league of the police were unable to do so. Julian taking this rascal away was the biggest gift he could have given the breeding center as Deino will not be able to destroy their property and it will save them a lot of money. Since both parties are happy, they let it slide. Deino couldn''t see so he doesn''t know what is happening but being around the person that is carrying him felt safe, he is still a young pokemon so it was a natural reaction but Julian has to be careful. Just because the little guy is calm now, it didn''t mean he will be calm forever he will start to cause trouble again after some time as it is their nature to do so. Deino turned its head around to sense the continuous change in its surrounding, his hair could feel the direction of the air while his ears picked up the slightest change in the surrounding, just by this Deino had a rough sketch of the area around him within seconds. Having no sight allowed him to have heightened senses in other areas, as he was observing his surrounding he noticed movement above him, it was not the person holding him but something small that was attached to him. He noticed a small creature moving in the air, round and round around him, this annoyed Deino and he tried to bite down this annoying little thing but he couldn''t, this little thing was too fast and too nimble for him. He could hear it giggle and make fun of him, he got really pissed and sted a Dragon Pulse at the little thing but he could tell that he didn''t hit. He then suddenly felt the person holding him ce his hand on top of his head and he calmed down, Julian "Crystal don''t bother him, and treat him well" Deino heard the person holding him talk to this little thing, he then notices it go back to his holder and fall asleep again. Julian looked at the Deino around his hand and sighed, this little one will be the hardest pokemon to take care of, he knew it will be hard to raise a Hydreigon but he took the challenge willingly. He then took out a Pokeball and touched Deino''s head and put it inside the Pokeball, luckily it didn''t resist and went into the Pokeball without putting any resistance. With Deino being added to his team, his Unova team becameplete. Darmanitan, Escavalier, Gigalith, Excadrill, Larvesta, Fraxure, Archen, Golett, Deino, nine pokemons. The first four pokemons are already at their final form and their physical growth slowed down but they gained a better understanding of their energy and nature, while the other half of his team are growing physical at a fast rate as they are still young but theyck full control of their energy. Even though most of them are at the same level or closer to each other level wise, their power scale is very different. With nothing else to do, he headed to the nearest forest to train his pokemon for his uing pokemon gym challenge, his opponent is Sk, even though he has spent quite a lot of time with her he never bothered to ask her about her battling style because he wants to battle her fair and square. Well making her a servant might not be the greatest way to make a battle fair and square but she will never go against his orders so she will give her all if he tells her to do so. He looked into Sk''s profile and looked into her record and to his surprise, she has a very high winning rate, trainers voted her as the second hardest gym leader to defeat right after Drayden who seems to be the strongest gym leader in Unova. It''s not that Sk has stronger pokemons that others, her way of battling are very challenging for trainers, she usually does double battles in which she will use two flying-type pokemons to dominate the battlefield. Trainers try to beat her using electric type pokemons but they can only defeat her if they are able tond a hit on her pokemons but it seems to be very hard as well. Seeing this Julian is impressed as he wondered how Sk will do against him, her team consists of a Swoobat, a Skarmory, and her ace a Swanna. Her first pokemon Swoobat is not a big concern but its speed is blinding and it will be hard tond a hit on it, her second pokemon Skarmory is a very bulky Pokemon with very high physical defense but it won''t be as big of a concern as her Swanna. Her Swanna is a water/flying type making it 4x weaker to electric type moves but what surprised Julian was that this bird pokemon is a tough nut, he found a video in which this Swanna took a thunderbolt head-on and just shrugged it off. Swanna''s are very bnced pokemon, they don''t have any bad stats but they don''t stand out either, equal attack and special attack stats allow it to have a very wide range of attacks which can be very helpful during a dual battle. After looking into everything, Julian quickly came up with a strategy and started to train his pokemons. Chapter 782 - Sword Of Justice Training started and Julian introduced Deino to his new family, at first he got very aggressive as he felt so many presences around him and he even attacked them and charged at than trying to bite them. At first, Julian''s pokemon were surprised by the very aggressive new family member that joined them but they got used to it, Deino also calmed down after Julian told him that they are not harmful. ?? But Deino went rough three times during the trainer hours but he would calm down every time Julian stopped him, after hours of trainer Julian decided to head back to Sk''s ce as the sun is about to set. Today''s training session went fine, his main focus was on Archen and Larvesta as theycked behind the most, with all the training that Julian has put them through they have almost caught up to the others in Julian''s team. Archen will soon evolve on top of that. Since they were so young when he got them while the other pokemons in his team were already at their final form, Julian put a lot of focus and effort on them, Larvesta will not evolve any soon but the same could not be said for Archen, he doesn''t need to wait for too long to evolve into his final form, just like Julian''s first four pokemon from Unova, Archen is also a pokemon that has only two-stage, his beginning form and his final form. Even his Larvesta is the same as well but he will evolve when he reaches a level simr to an Elite level pokemon. Julian already has an idea on which of his pokemon will evolve thest, Deino will be thest one to evolve to his final state. The first one to evolve will be either Golett or Archen as they are close to evolving, even though Archen is young, his evolving stage is not as high as Golett, Golett is there, just a little more training and he will evolve while Archen is catching up very fast. Fraxure will be the next to evolve after them, thenes Larvesta. When Larvesta evolves Deino will also evolve into his second stage, and to reach his third stage evolution will also be hard, the stronger a pokemons grows the harder it bes to grow stronger. Now with everything in his mind, he already started to figure out his time table for theing days and who he needs to concentrate on more. For the current uing battle, Julian wants to use Larvesta and Archen as they haven''t had any official pokemon battle at all, both are the youngest of the team and the weakest, even the newest member of his team Deino has a lot of power behind his moves, he just doesn''t know how to control them properly and Julian will have a hard time teaching him. The training was finally over, Larvesta and Archen needed the best rest they can possible get before Julian is ready to challenge Sk for a gym battle so he took them to the best pokemon massage spa in the city and he himself took one for himself to release all the stress built in his body. __________________ Inside the massage parlor, Julian is getting his back massaged while he is looking at his phone when he suddenly noticed a thread which stated - "Sword of Justice caught training on camera" As he saw this he got very interested, Sword of Justice are third rate legendary pokemon just like the legendary bird trio from Kanto, but this group is a little special because of this group act as the protectors of pokemons. Pokemons can get emotionally attached to others but for that, they would have to spend a lot of time together and care for each other and in the wild, that doesn''t happen, most legendary pokemons don''t even bother caring for the normal pokemons that live in the wild, only a few do and it''s very rare for them to care about other pokemons. Sword Of Justice on the other hand is very different, they wille for a pokemon''s aid without caring about themselves, they are known to step in and protect a pokemon when they are about to get captured by a trainer, they had destroyed multiple poachers and some of these poachers even died after going to the hospital. These pokemons don''t like humans and they will try to interfere whenever they get a chance to stop human expansion into the forest, in the past when humans were recklessly destroying the forest for morend space the Sword of Justice stepped in and with pokemons battling along with them stopped the human expansion, during this war many pokemons and humans died and this left a bad taste for humans in their mouth. But the other interesting thing about the Sword of Justice is that the group only consisted of three pokemons in the past but around a few years ago another one was seen along with them, but from what has been observed the newest member of this group is not very strongpared to the other three. From what the legend says, to be the member of the Sword of Justice, the pokemon has to survive a battle against the Kyurem itself, and seeing that the fourth member is still not that strong, it is still not part of the Sword of Justice. Right now the Sword of Justice consists of Cobalion who is the leader of the group, Terrakion the powerhouse and the biggest of the group, and Virizion the most feminine of the group and now there is a new pokemon that is about to be a member. Keldeo, the soon to be the fourth member of the group, knowing what Julian is going into, he clicked the video and found out that it was quite blurry. In the video, the youngest member Keldeo is battling Cobalion and got utterly crushed by it, seeing the video Julian sighed, whoever filmed this kept their distance and used the zoom to do so. But it was still clear to Julian, Keldeo is nowhere near strong enough to face the cold-hearted killer that is Kyurem, Julian is not new to the news of Kyurem being a killer, he has heard many tales of Kyurem killing both humans and pokemons. If this Keldeo even tries to get close to Kyurem, it will die. Julian just hopes that this pokemon doesn''t do so and try to fight Kyurem and get itself killed, its a unique pokemon and one of its kind, there has never been sitting of these pokemons in other region proving they are the only ones in this world and even if there are more they have not been found. Chapter 783 - Sword Of Justices Origin? Was Julian curious about these pokemon? A hundred percent yes, who wouldn''t want to have a legendary pokemon in their team. Will Julian go out of his way to find them? No, he is too busy right now and his team is already full and he has ns to add a special one to his team and he doesn''t want to take care of extra pokemons even if they are legendary. ?? He spent some time looking into the battle and was impressed by Cobalion, it was clearly very strong, way stronger than any champion level pokemon he has ever face, it might even be able to hold on for a while against his Garchomp but when ites to his Gengar and the rest of his Kanto pokemons, it won''t be able to hold on even for a minute. He wondered if he can find one in the wild that is just a little baby or just hatched from an egg but this though seems unreasonable because this is the same Cobalion that has been seen time after time in Unova as it defends Unova and its pokemon from evil and chaos and try to bring justice in their own way. A justice to pokemon might be very different from what humans consider justice, sometimes humans don''t think the death of the wrong one can bring justice but the Sword of Justice are different, they have killed humans and pokemons before, at the end of the day they are wild so bring death to a certain evil-doer is always their main choice and this has been proven time and time again. They will try to kill any poachers they encounter but most of the time poachers escape because of all the pokemons and weapons they have with them and even after all that precaution most of them die, rather abandoned in the wild or in the hospital. They are aggressive and will get very territorial in front of a human so no human has ever dared to get close to them, the videographer of this video took a massive risk by getting this close to these two having a mock battle. Knowing that finding one with the requirement he has will be impossible so Julian gave up on the idea, a young Cobalion would always be a dream, but this made him wonder. Where did these pokemone from? Many historians tried to look into their origin, where did theye from, who or what created them but they couldn''t. They tried to dig deep but ended up at a dead-end, there was not even a single minor clue about their origin, they just popped out of nowhere and started to sh with humans to protect the pokemons in Unova. Even Keldeo, the very recent one of them, even it doesn''t have any sign of origin, it just popped out of nowhere and troubled a lot of historians, they wondered where they came from. From what they know, these pokemons don''t have a gender just like any other legendary pokemon, except a few that do have a gender, since they have no gender they cannot breed and give birth a new pokemon, and till now scientist and pokemon professors haven''t found or witnessed any other ways from which a pokemon cane to this world. Even Julian is wondering how do these legendary pokemone to this world. When it came to his very own little freak, Crystal, it came from an egg but where did this egge from, from what he knows Mew''s are genderless so they cannot breed with each other to create an egg so something or someone must have created that egg from which Crystal came from. As he was wondering about this, the hands that were working on his back stopped as the massage was over, the masseur packed away his stuff and left, Julian got up and tried to crack his back but no sound came but he still felt relief after stretching his muscles Once the massage was done, Julian went to the pokemon side of the massage parlor where his pokemons were already rxing and ying around as they were done with their massage, he smiled and took them to the closest restaurant to feed them. Once everything was done, he decided to return back to Sk''s home. The sun was already down and Julian could see the stars high up in the sky, he saw some shooting starts traveling through the sky, as he arrived in front of Sk''s house, he could smell the food being cooked inside. He smiled and put his bike away before entering. When he entered the house he saw the old man in the kitchen with his granddaughter. Julian saw that Sk is still wearing the same tight shirt she was wearing this morning, that very short skirt from which he could easily nce at the underwear she is wearing, she noticed Julian and quickly turned around happily. Sk "Mast...... Julian, you are back" She was about to call him master but stopped herself from doing so and called him by his name, Julian nodded at her and walked towards the kitchen. Miles the name of the Grandpa also noticed Julian and smiled. Miles "Julian, you are back, looks like you did a lot today, why don''t you go and take a shower ande eat with us" He said. Julian nodded and went into the bathroom and took a quick shower, what surprised him is that Sk didn''te to check on him, any time she got she would try to get close to him, this meant that she is busy with what she is doing. After taking a shower he went back and noticed that they are done making food and Miles is out of the kitchen arranging the table for everyone. Seeing this he decided to have some fun. Chapter 784 - Skylas Reward (18+) WARNING SEX SCENE AHEAD - the whole chapter is a sex scene and if you like reading them go through it, if not you can skip the chapter. ______________________________ ?? Since Julian wanted to have some fun he walked into the kitchen pretending to help Sk, he looked at Miles and saw him busy arranging stuff in the hall. Sk''s house isn''t actually too big, the hall and kitchen are all connected and a person could see the other from anywhere between these ces, the only time someone can get some privacy is in their own room or the bathroom. He walked towards Sk with a smile on his face and stood right next to her and pretended to help her, Miles turned around and saw Sk and Julian working together and though how good friends they are and he was happy for his innocent little granddaughter. Sk stood their a little tensed and excited as she knows Julian will try to y with her while her grandfather was just there, this thought really excited her a lot and she is already bing wet down there. As she was stirring the pot of curry, she felt, Julian''s hand touching her soft thighs, his hands moved up as he started to stroke her pussy, he could already feel how wet she was, he didn''t even give her a signal before putting his finger right into her pussy causing her to let out a moan. And her moan was loud which rmed Miles, he turned around and looked at his granddaughter concerned. Miles "What happened? Are you ok?" He asked worriedly. Sk "It''s nothing grandpa, I just touched the hot pot with bare hands" She said and she sucked her finger showing that she ced it on a hot spot. Julian "Don''t worry, Mr. Miles, I checked it, there is nothing to worry about" Miles "I see, d someone is there with her to look out for her" He said and got back to whatever he was doing while Julian did his work on Sk, he grabbed her waist and turned her around and kissed her, he grabbed her cheeks with his other hand and forced his tongue inside her mouth as he ravaged her mouth. While his other hand ravaged her pussy, he kissed her because he didn''t want her to make any sound and ruin the fun, he fingered her really fast and caused her to squirt all over the floor, her legs shook as she sprayed, her panty and legs covered with her own squirt. Julian stopped kissing her and a trail of saliva was left behind, as Julian let her go she plopped on top of her own fluid with a blissful expression on her face, seeing how she looked right now, how slutty she is, with her very tight shirt from which her breast could pop out any time, and her very short red skirt that made no difference even if she is wearing them or not. This aroused him so he pulled out his dick, grabbed her head and shoved it inside her mouth again and pressed her against the cab below the sink and started to deep throat her, Sk just like a very obedient servant tried her best to pleasure him with her tongue. The sound of his dick drilling down her throat made sounds but it was not loud enough for Miles to hear, even though he is wearing his hearing aid, they are still limited, they cannot grand perfect hearing to someone who has lost their hearing. He can hear them when they are either loud or near him, but he suddenly turned around to check on his granddaughter but he couldn''t find her. Miles "Where is Sk?" He asked while looking at Julian. Julian "She spilled a lot of water on the floor and now she is cleaning it now" He said. Miles "Dear Arceus she is clumsy, dear do you need any help?" He asked. Julian took out his dick from her mouth to let her speak. Sk "No, Grandpa, I can do it myself, if not Julian will lend a hand" She said loudly so he can hear, as soon as she said the dick went back in and she started to suck on it again. Miles "Just be careful" He said and turned around, he didn''t hear any response but he was used to not hearing stuff so he naturally thought that she agreed to him, little did he know that her precious innocent granddaughter was sucking on Julian''s dick like a cock hungry slut. Julian finally came inside her mouth and she drank it all, she also cleaned the floor and got back to her feet while licking her lips to get rid of the ess cum that was around it, just when she thought it was over, she was surprised. She felt something thick and meaty entering her vagina, she looked down in shock and excitement hoping that Julian is finally fucking her but to her disappointment, it was a vibrator-dildo, it was quite big but not as big as his dick. He had this inside his pouch as one time he and his girlfriends wanted to get a little frisky and they bought a lot of sex toys and Julian had to ce them all inside his pouch, he never thought he would use them again, but since he liked to y with Sk so much he took one out. She moaned as the dildo went deep inside her vagina, she thought that Julian will pull it out but he didn''t he just let it there. Sk "Master?" She whispered confused. Julian "Don''t worry, the fun has just begun" He said and covered the end of the dildo with her wet panty blocking it from vision, Sk didn''t know what Julian was doing but this was very exciting. Miles was done with everything so he walked back into the kitchen and saw the floor clean and the food was ready as well, he smiled and took the food to the dining area which is the hall itself, there is arge table in between the sofa where all the tes are arranged. Julian and Sk also helped to put up all the things before they finally took their ce, just like before, Sk sat next to Julian while Miles sat opposite to them, only their upper body was visible because the table was quite big and Miles is too old to bend down and look at things that are happening down below or he will snap his back. As they began to eat, Julian smiled and took out a small remote and pressed a button, Sk who is enjoying her curry suddenly felt the dildo inside her starting to move. She moaned lightly as it was still not intense to make her squirt all over the ce, she looked at Julian as her cheeks were red, even though she is brown he could still see her blush. He then smiled and intensified the vibration of the dildo, but he was surprised to see that Sk handled it very well, he could see her dripping wet pussy as it soaked the couch under her ass but she was still taking it like a champ. Seeing that she is still doing well he went all out and put the dial to the max, Sk flinched and out a moan rming Miles, he looked at his granddaughter worried. Miles "What happened?" Sk "Hehe, I burned my tongue" She giggled and smiled but the answer ispletely different as Julian could see Sk shaking her hips as she squirted all over the couch. Miles "How many times do I have to warn you, cool your food before eating" He scolded her. Sk "Sorry Grandpa" She giggled and answered innocently, Miles didn''t say anything and just sighed. Once they were done eating, they put away their tes in the kitchen. Miles "Julian, you cane and sleep in my room, I have an extra bed there, it belonged to my wife but now that she is not here anymore, you can use it for as long as you decide to stay here" He said with a smile. Julian "Thankyou" He said and smiled while looking at Sk. Miles walked away as he was tired and it was time for him to sleep. Julian sat on the couch as he watches Miles leave, once he was gone he pulled Sk and yed with her boobs for a while. Julian "Come to the room at night" He said and put her to the side and followed the old man into his room, when he got inside he saw two beds, they are not connected but they are not far from each other either, they are just separated by a nightstand. Miles "The bed is not thatfy but it is manageable" He said as he directly went to bed, he removed his ear piece and put it on the night table as he becamepletely deaf once again. Julian didn''t even get to speak and he already started to snore, he has already fallen asleep. Since he had nothing to do, he checked around the room and found that the walls were really well built, even though old, they provided a lot of soundproofing, he thenid down on the bed and waited for Sk to arrive. An hour passed and she finally walked in, she has put on a different dress, a very sexy see-through nightdress, Julian noticed that the dildo that he had put inside her pussy is still there, he smiled and pulled her and threw her on the bed. She became very horny as she felt Julian''s power and how easily he could control her, he then pulled out the dildo and put it away and looked at her juicy pussy and started to lick it, an electrifying sensation traveled all over Sk''s body as she started to moan. She turned her head and looked at her Grandpa and knew that he won''t wake up no matter how much she screams and moans because he is deaf right now. Her moans became louder and louder as she squirted again. Julian "Have you been a good girl?" Sk "Yes master" Julian "Do you really believe that?" Sk "Yes master" Julian "Indeed, you have done a very good job so you will finally get your reward" He said and pulled out his dick and yed with her pussy, Sk got very excited as her pussy moved, she was finally getting what she wanted and it was now time for her master to love her, just like he loved Anastasia inside the private jet. Julian smiled and finally slipped it in, she was so horny and wet that even though he was big, it went right in, he could feel her pussy stretch but it went inside very easily. Sk felt something she never felt before, she felt as if a pokemon just thunderbolted her, she felt Julian''s dick inside her, he then started to pound her, faster and faster and Sk waspletely lost in pleasure and bliss, her moans were so loud, if Miles was not deaf he would be scared out of his mind and get up. He then lifted her and faced her right in front of her grandpa and fucked her, her face was very close to her grandpa, her tongue out, her eyes rolled out, saliva dripping down her mouth, aplete sex hungry slut. Julian "You like being fucked in front of your grandpa don''t you?" Sk "Yes maslta" She said moaning, he excitement of her grandpa waking up and seeing how her innocent granddaughter is being fucked like a whore right in front of his face excited her. He came inside her and she squirted all over the ce but Julian was not done, he will fuck her till the sunrise, he didn''t want to fuck his servant in front of an old man all night long so he lifted her and took her to the kitchen and fucked her, he then fucked her on the couch where he squirted before, inside the bathroom. By now Sk was already lost in her own pleasure, he then finally took her to her own room and fucked her with no breaks, she begged for sex so much and now she is getting it. He fucked her for seven hours straight, he only stopped when he could see the first break of light in the morning, he hade inside her pussy, inside her ass, inside her mouth so many times that all his cum stained her bed. Her whole body covered with only his cum, Sk''s current state looked like if 20 men gangbanged her and left her in this state. Julian saw Sk''s face and knew he broke another woman and now she ispletely loyal, even the idea of going against Julian will never appear in her mind every again. Now that Julian knows the effect of his on women when he wants to break them, he felt excited, he knows for quite a long time that he is changing, his mindset is changing, but that doesn''t mean he will abandon is rules and morals. Now that he thinks about it, he wanted Anastasia to be a servant that will never betray him, she was clearly the best sex he ever had and he cannot just let her go, so he decided to break her as well and make herpletely loyal. Right now she is loyal but that might fade away if Julian ignores her, she might want to have sex again and she might search for other men, there will always be the desire to be Julian''s but she could still have those feelings and fuck other guys and imagine them as Julian. Julian didn''t want that, he wanted to make her just like Sasha and Sk. Chapter 785 - Training Progress Julian left Sk in her current state and let her collect her thought and rest for the day, with what he did to her all night, she won''t be able to get up and even if she can, she won''t be able to walk. Julian has never wrecked any woman like he wrecked Sk, he has had a lot of rough sex and mostly with his girlfriends but he never went overboard with them because they were three of them and he could take turns doing them and please both him and them. ?? Julian as their boyfriend gave them everything, unconditional love to the best sex, but when they are not there, he tried not to interact with a woman because he knows he can get very wild once he puts his pants down and whoever the woman he is with will be broken and hungry for him. That is the main reason he avoided other women, he couldn''t just provide love and affection to every woman he meets and there could be only three who can get that love from Julian. After realizing that his sexual drive is growing stronger as he grows stronger as days pass, he needs to release it and now he has found a way to deal with it, his servants. No matter where he is, he can call them for quick relief, unlike his girlfriends he doesn''t love them, but they are his property and with how he has control over them, they would leave anything they are doing just to spend time with him. It may sound selfish from Julian''s part but they are now his and his to use in any way he wants, treat them as sex dolls or maids, and the best part about it is that they love this, they like being treated like this by Julian. This whole time Julian had spent with Sk, she acted like a tool for Julian rather than a person who is carving for love, she just wanted to get used, this can be considered as brainwashing by some people by Julian but he was not the one who initiated it. If a woman really wants to do it with him, they will have tomit to him for the rest of their lives. Julian left Sk''s room and walked into the bathroom and took a quick bath and went back to Miles''s room, he quickly fixed the things that were out of ce so Miles won''t get suspicious and he then went back to sleep. It''s 5 AM in the morning with a very little light breaking through the sky, Julian noticed that Miles is still in deep sleep so he smiled and closed his eyes and slept as well, he wondered what Miles will think if he had seen how he ravaged his innocent granddaughter. Just like that Julian fell asleep. ____________________ The next morning Julian woke up and realized that it is 10 AM in the morning, he got up and noticed that Miles is not on his bed, he walked out of the room yawning when he saw Miles walk out of Sk''s room with a worried expression. Miles "Ah, Julian, looks like you finally woke up,e have breakfast" He said. Julian "What happened?" He asked. He knows what has happened but he needed to blend in. Miles "Oh, nothing, Sk said that she is very tired and wants to sleep in for the day" He said. Julian "Well, I think its a good idea, she works so hard, she needs long rest like these" He said andforted Miles. Miles "You are right, thank you for being her friend, I can tell you will take good care of her" Julian "Don''t worry Mr. Miles I will take good care of Sk when she is around me" Miles "I am relieved them" He said and smiled. After a few minutes he provided some breakfast and tea to Julian, he ate them and walked out of the house and went back to train his pokemons in the forest again. He has sessfully conquered Sk in bed and now he needs to conquer her on the battlefield. Training started and Larvesta and Archen have been put to hell training again, first physical exercise, then mental strength trainer as they were put in an illusion by Gengar, then they had a mock battle against Victini and tried tond a hit on it. They failed miserably but Julian could see the constant improvement in them, Archen is now able to take flight from the ground. Archen are pokemons that are flying type but cannot fly, their wings are still not well developed for them to take flight, Archens are tree birds as they use branches to travel from one tree to another and use their undeveloped wings to get that distance. Archen could run and hop around but it was not enough, what is the use of flying type if a pokemon cannot fly, so Julian wondered on making sure that Archen can get at least enough time in the air so that ground type moves don''t work on him. Flying-type pokemons can get destroyed by a ground type move if they be grounded, especially if a pokemon they are facing of knows Smackdown as they can ground pokemons that can fly or have the ability Levitate. Julian knows the risk of staying on the ground so he tried his best to make sure Archen doesn''t get hit by a ground type move, with the training he put Archen through, he made sure that Archen has enough strength to p his wings and be in the air for a few seconds and maybe even be able to use some flying-type moves that are not Peck and Pluck. Larvesta on the other hand trained on controlling his fire energy and make it more destructive in nature, his speed also increased a lot. One more training session and Julian should be able to take on Sk. Chapter 786 - A Movie Scene? I Fucking Hate It The training inside the forest was brutal and exhausting, Larvesta and Archen were pushed to the limits, they have developed a lot and one more training session should be able to put them in a spot where they can take on Sk for his next gym challenge. As he was nning for his training process for tomorrow he suddenly heard a loud explosion very close to him, this surprised him so he turned towards the direction, it sounded like a pokemon battle was going on and from the loudness of this explosion. ?? He could tell that the pokemons that are having a battle are very strong. Julian "I should check it out" He said and walked towards the explosion but when he got there he was surprised by what he saw, he saw a bunch of team sma members and the pokemons they have with them are actually very high level, they can easily take down a gym leader by grouping up. On of the receiving end of their attack is Officer Jenny, the one who saw him in the traffic being pleasured by Sk, battling for her is her Arcanine which seems to be very high level as well but it has been seriously injured as it has been ganged up by all these powerful pokemons from Team sma. Julian frowned as he saw this, it has been a while since he encountered these bunch, the reason why he didn''t care about them as it didn''t matter to Julian on what they are nning to do, even if they somehow found a way to mess up things in Unova, Julian has Infernape, Gengar, and his big fat Snox. Pokemons that can take on a consciousness of a god, there is no way they would lose to any other pokemons, even if they are Zekrom or Reshiram. He doesn''t even need to bring out his Infernape and group to deal with these team sma members, just his Garchomp and Victini will take care of them, they can even take on the legendaries if hees across them. With the number of legendary pokemons Julian has battled, he has a rough idea of their strength and their limits, and him being a trainer with pokemons that can break limits, they are never his concern. To him Team sma is just a bunch of goons who are here to ruin his experience while traveling around Unova, though he is curious about their background and what they really want, he has met N and knew that N is too innocent to be the leader of this wicked group. He knows that the seven sages have something to do with Team sma and its goals, by now even a monkey can tell that it is the seven sages who are behind all this if given proper information. With the CEO of the Unova league headquarters helping Julian looking into the Seven Sages, Julian found a lot of things about them, these Seven Sages are actually not that badpared to Cyrus who he has dealt with before. They also seem to have a lot of influence in the underworld as well but their main influence is still in the maind as many rich and royal families around the world respect them and no one wants to offend them. With what Julian has found out about them, he knew that he didn''t need to worry about the Seven Sages because if they really try to do anything stupid they are destroying their own status and power and from what he has gathered, they are not stupid. Even the one who he met at Nimbasa city, he quickly backed off and didn''t try to cause much trouble for Julian after realizing he wasn''t a match for Julian. Julian still has doubts about what Team sma is really after, from everything that has been observed by the league and the officers in Unova, they are really after pokemon and nothing else, sometimes they try to steal things that might cost a lot of money or is a very advance technology but none of their actions point to a world-ending disaster like the one Cyrus tried to bring. As he was in deep thoughts he heard another explosion and his focus was back on the battle, he saw Officer Jenny getting blown away with her Arcanine, her Arcanine is out for good now, as she went flying in the air, her shirt got caught by a branch and it caused her whole shirt to rip off her body revealing her boobspletely to Team sma members. All of them being men saw her breast and got aroused, Jenny backed off as she tried to cover her breast from the hungry eyes of those men. sma Grunt "You know we have already captured all the pokemons, so how about we have some fun before we head back to headquarters" One of them said and licked his lips. sma Grunt 2 "You know, I like the idea, I never fucked an Officer Jenny before" sma Grunt 3 "I heard they give the best blowjobs, let me test that rumor" All the gruntsughed as they tried to approach her, her Arcanine is out cold so it cannot do anything and without her shirt on, Jenny felt powerless. Julian ''Why does this feel like a movie scene? I fucking hate it'' He thought and sighed and walked towards the grunts. Julian "Ok stop right there" He walked out towards the destroyed ground area and stood right in front of the grunt and stopped them, all of them were stunned as they didn''t see this personing at all, he appeared out of nowhere. When Jenny heard Julian she felt relieved as someone came to help her but she also realized that this person might get hurt if he tries to help her, even with her powerful partner she couldn''t stop these grunts. She became worried about this person who is trying to help her. Jenny "Hey, get out of here, they are dangerous" She said and tried to warn her rescuer but deep down she wanted him to stay, she didn''t want to get raped by these goons, she has heard stories about Officer Jenny''s being raped, even though it was rare it would happen sometimes when they get cornered by the bad guys and they have their way with them. That is why they are given high-level pokemon to protect themselves, her Arcanine was clearly a pokemon that could battle a top pokemon of any gym leader but she got ganged up and now she got in trouble. Chapter 787 - Earthquake Officer Jenny hated the current situation, she wished she had brought some backup. It was a few hours ago when she got aint about two men wearing Team sma uniform stealing pokemons from trainers, they forced trainers into submission before finally stealing them in from of public, being grunts with very strong pokemons, whoever tried to stop them getting their pokemons snatched from them. ?? When she received thein, Officer Jenny, rushed towards the crime scene and found the two grunts trying to snatch more pokemons, when they noticed Officer Jenny they tried to battle her and maybe snatch her pokemon as well, as they were very confident in their ability but they got destroyed by her Arcanine. Knowing they couldn''t continue this, they sted a smoke graned and tried to escape but Officer Jenny gave chase, as she already defeated both of them clearly she thought she could take them on and followed them all the way inside the forest. What she didn''t expect was an ambush, there were four more grunts waiting for her and when she got here she got ambushed, their pokemons attacked her by sting their moves at her, as she saw the attacksing, she jumped off her bike which got hit and exploded. Then she got surrounded by the grunts, she tried to battle them but 1 vs 6 was too much for her Arcanine, it did its best and tried to beat the six pokemons but it couldn''t it got hit by powerful moves and with thatst move the battle ended with it going down and Jenny almost getting raped by the sma grunts. ___________________ Present- Jenny looked at the man who is standing in front of him, worried about him but then she realized something, she recognized this man, as she remembered she realized who this person really was. He was the same person she saw with Sk, she clearly remembered him because he was constantly in her find, she even got horny thinking about it as she reced herself in Sk''s position. Jenny "You?" Julian "Not the time for introduction" He said to Jenny and looked at the six grunts in front of him, they got stunned but they were not scared, they just took down a very powerful Arcanine, and now their ego is off the roof and a single person cannot stop them. Julian "Ok so return all those pokemons you stole and surrender yourself before things go very bad" Hearing Julian theyughed which pissed of Julian, he didn''t even wait for a second before sending out his Garchomp, as soon as his Garchomp came out the atmosphere changed, the six pokemons backed off as they felt danger as their instinct told them to run but it was already toote. Julian "Use Earthquake" Garchomp mmed his foot on the ground and sent all six of them sting of the ground as a wave of energy sted them along with their trainers, just like that all twelve of them were down out cold, they didn''t even know what happened before they were out cold. Julian called back Garchomp as it was over. Jenny who saw this was stunned as she didn''t expect this to be over so soon, she only blinked once and it was over, she was so stunned that she didn''t even bother covering her beautiful big breast as they were open for Julian to view and enjoy. Julian "Do you have any cuffs?" He asked. Jenny "Huh? Ah, yes, here it is" She said and gave him one. Julian "I think I need more" He said and got close to her and took extra cuffs of her hips as he noticed her head was still upied with thoughts, he quickly returned the pokemons that were knocked out back to their pokeballs and then cuffed the grunts. He then took all the pokeballs inside their bags that were stolen, as he turned around he saw Jenny standing but she didn''t bother to cover her breast at all, she just smiled as she noticed Julian look at her. Julian "I am surprised, I thought you would be shyer" He said and approached her and gave her the pokeballs and the key to the handcuffs. Jenny "I think we are past that point, I saw you being pleasured by Miss Sk, I never thought she was such slutty" She said and smiled. Julian "People are different from what they portray so never judge anyone from face value, just like you" He said while looking at her breast, she was clearly inviting him. Jenny "So who are you, I want to return the favor" She said and smiled, Julian didn''t bother to hide his identity and removed his mask, Jenny was surprised to see his face but she took it a lot better as she has met many famous people, even though Julian is clearly the most famous, it didn''t matter. Jenny "No wonder Miss Sk was doing that" She said and suddenly went on her knees and unzipped his pants. Jenny "This is a reward for helping me" She said and took out his dick and started to suck on it, Julian was surprised but he didn''t stop her, this was great, she is great with what she is clearly doing, he didn''t even have to do anything as she deepthroated him while looking in his eyes. She was clearly into this. After cuming in her mouth, he lifted her against a tree and fucked her, her moans traveled around the forest and only the pokemons heard it but none of them bothered with it, it was a quick one. He didn''t break her but it was enough to make her think about him a lot, he made her cum once and he also came inside her once before finishing it, he gave her a coat to cover her boobs that are red now due to him sucking on them. Jenny was really happy right now, her social life is already fucked do to her job and she had not had sex for quite a while, when she saw Sk and Julian she was really jealous when she saw how happy Sk looked. And now she had the best sex of her life she was happy, she gave him her number and told him to call her whenever he wants a sex partner, she called her team to take away these grunts who are still out cold, she hadpletely forgotten about them, Julian also bid his farewell and left as she just watched him leave. Her legs are still shaky as she decided to rest for a while before her team arrives. Chapter 799 - Archen Vs Golurk As Archen''s every stat rose, he felt the power, he was faster and more powerful, that Ancient Power helped a lot, he decided to attack with another Ancient Power. Archen sted a white ball of energy at Golurk and Golurk countered with a Shadow Ball, the same thing happened as both moves collided but Archen experienced no change, the increase in power is not guaranteed every time Ancient Power is used. ?? Golurk was done waiting and suddenly dove down at Archen as the fire from his arms and bottom part of the body burst into massive mes thrusting him towards Archen even faster. Steel energy suddenly covered Golurk''s whole body as his massive frame came down even faster, Golurk used Heavy m. Heavy m is the type of move that depends on the user''s weight, the heavier the pokemon, the stronger the move, and one could easily tell that Golurk ways a lot, he is gigantic, even bigger than the biggest Golurk that have been seen in the wild or trained by a pokemon. On top of that Archen is also weak to Steel-type moves and this Heavy m will end it once and for all, no matter how high Archen rises his defense or tries to counter it, the speed and weight behind this attack are massive. Those thrusters were also putting a lot of weight behind this attack as well, this was an end game move, even Julian is surprised by seeing the power behind this move, this move can clearly be Golurk''s ace move, the move that can end it all. Archen saw this with wide eyes as the shadow of Golurkpletely covered his tiny body, but he has still not given up, he cried a battle cry and ran, there was no other option, the only way to survive is to escape from the attack''s radius. Archen used all that extra power he got and put it in his legs and sprinted out and kept running, as he made his way out of the shadow, Golurk crashed on the ground, Archen dodged the attack by a hair inch but it was not over. The crash was like a meteor hitting the ground, the whole ground shook and created a crater, the areas that were around the battlefield shook and experienced an earthquake which caused some pokemons to fly away in the sky while others took shelter, seeing the impact of the attack, Julian quickly put up a forcefield made of Omniforce to block the explosion from hitting his other pokemons. Rocks were sent flying everywhere and along with those rocks, Archen was also sent flying off his feet, some rocks hit him and restricted him from using his wings to glide away. As Archen came crashing down the rocks followed behind and buried him under them, Golurk then walked out of the massive crater he created and looked at the pile of rocks that has Archen buried inside them. Seeing no movement for a few seconds, Golurk raised his arms and let out a roar dering his victory but then something happened. Rays of light shot out from the gaps between the rocks and the rocks were sted away and right in the middle, everyone could see a glowing body that is growing in size, Archen started to evolve. His small body started to grow, his wings expanded and his tail became longer, as the glow disappeared Archeops is revealed, standing 1.8 meters tall, he was surrounded by the aura of a violent prehistoric predator. His attack stats raised significantly but it was not just his attack, even his Special Attack and Speed increased making him a force to reckon with. Archeops then sted another Dragon Pulse at Golurk, Golurk stood his ground and crossed his arms and blocked the Dragon Pulse head-on, surprisingly the Dragon Pulse was strong enough to push him back but Golurk stood his ground and waited till the Dragon Pulse faded away. Once it was gone, he suddenly changed into his jet form and took the sky, he went very high until he was not visible to Julian''s Unova pokemons. He then locked onto Archeops and dove down again using Heavy m and this time he used more thrust and therger distance also made a lot of difference as he is able to pick up more speed on his way down. Archeops roared and pped his wings and flew properly for the first time, he didn''t fear Golurk''s Heavy m and decided to take it head-on, halfway through their meeting, Archeops sted a Dragon Pulse at Golurk which he easily tore through but Archeops got what he wanted. To slow down Golurk a little, then Archeops used Head Smash, with his head enforced and every covering his body, he increased his speed and met Golurk in the middle. Both pokemon finally collided and the effect was not something one would expect from pokemons of their level, the scale of the explosion was as massive as ones that can be created when champion level pokemons sh. The shockwave followed after shattering the sound barrier which created a sonic boom, the massive explosion covered both pokemons that had just collided, and the next second two pokemons could be seen falling down. After a few seconds, they bothnded on the ground weak and unable to move, it seems to be a draw. Julian walked close to the area where they fell and looked at both Golurk and Archeops, after looking at them he called the battle an end. Julian "Golurk wins" As he said so, Golurk stood up from the pit and raised his hands up in the air, finally putting an end to this battle, Archeops was out cold inside the pit he created when he fell down. It was not that he lost that exchange, it was just that the circumstance didn''t favor him, Golurk was higher level so he has a little extra power, Heavy m was also very powerful but the move Archeops used was Head Smash which has massive recoil damage, he will receive half the damage he dealt with his opponent. And his ability didn''t favor him either. Defeatist, an ability that halved the user''s attack and special attack once their health gets lower than half their full health. With losing half of his attack stat after that collision, he couldn''t take it anymore and got knocked out after being pushed to the limit by Heavy m. Julian looked at Golurk and he is also heavily injured after the battle, they both will need a long rest. Chapter 800 - Celestial Tower The battle was very intense and Julian''s other pokemons were impressed by the chaos and damage that both Archeops and Golurk left behind. Golurk won that battle and is very excited about it, Archeops soon woke up and is a little disappointed about his loss, he gave it his all, but he came short at the end which led to the loss. ?? It could have been a draw if the power of his attack was not dropped by half, it also depended on their level, if both of them were on the same level Archeops would have been the clear winner, his stats are just too big all over the field, except defense but he can still take hits as well. Julian sent both of them back to their Pokeball and let them rest, he then focused on his remaining pokemons. His first four of Unova areing along very great and they have already started training under Victini and Garchomp and having mock battles against them, the couldn''t even get past one minute before getting knocked out by Garchomp or Victini but they are slowly improving. His other half is alsoing along great and they are about to catch up to the first four, now the only ones who still have to evolve are, Fraxure, Larvesta, and Deino. Julian is expecting Fraxure to evolve next and reach his final form, Deino is also close but not as close as Fraxure, he should hit the threshold any day. Julian knew that Deinos take very long to evolve but he is still surprised to see that it is still taking so much time for him to just evolve into his second stage, but Julian is not worried, he believes that Deino will evolve as they reach Icirrus city or after they go past the city. Even Fraxure as well, he will evolve soon and Julian is waiting for that moment, when Fraxure evolves, he will turn into a Haxorus who is known for having an attack stat that is even higher than Garchomps. People actually call it a Semi Pseudo legendary pokemon, but this title is too vague for Julian for him to consider them any close to a legendary pokemon. A Pseudo legendary pokemon like Garchomp has powers equal to a second rate legendary pokemon, like his Manaphy, anything below that level is not worthy to be given a legendary title. There is also the third rate legendary who are even weakerpared to pseudo legendary pokemons but they make up with their rarity and the legends and folklore that back of their tales. If a Haxorus could be called a Semi Pseudo legendary pokemon, then even Snox should be one of them but they are not considered Semi Pseudo even though their life force is ridiculous backed up with very good attacks and defense stats. Julian ignored all this and thought about his next challenge, he will be facing against an Ice-type gym leader and Julian is nning to use his Dragons for this battle, both Fraxure and Deino, it is risky but he wants to have some challenges along the way. He has heard about the gym leader of Icirrus city, he is a man of few words and is always serious but he is also a formidable gym leader, getting past him is said to be the hardest thing a trainer will experience even when their pokemons are on the same level. Of course, everyone expects the 8th gym to be the hardest but from what stats have shown, trainers have failed to clear the 7th gym more than when the faced off against the gym leader of the 8th gym, this just shows how much hard the gym leader of Icirrus gym really is. Julian then started to train Fraxure and Deino for their uing challenge, where they will be facing one of their hardest challenges ever on an official gym stadium. __________________ Training is going great and Fraxure is getting close to that limit and soon he will be able to experience another evolution, same could be said for Deino as well as he will be able to evolve soon as well. After a few days of riding, he finally came across the infamous Celestial tower, even though the concept behind this structure is very depressing, it is still a very famous tourist site. The celestial tower is actually a massive graveyard of pokemons, people from all over Unova bring their dead pokemon here and bury them so their spirits can rest in peace. The legends say that the bell on top of the tower is magical and when it rings, it soothes and calms down the spirit of dead pokemon and let them rest in peace. He looked at the tower which is a few kilometers away from him, he could already see a lot of people around the tower, some looked like tourist and others looked like they were here to pay respect to the deceased pokemon. Julian started his bike and then rode towards the tower without wasting any time. He then stopped right in front of the tower and parked his bike, Gengar who was inside his own dimension suddenly sensed something and his eyes suddenly appeared in Julian''s shadow as he looked at his surrounding. Julian [Did you sense anything?] He asked as he noticed Gengar came out of his dimension on his own. Gengar [Gegegege, yes, there is a door to a different dimension here] He said and giggled like always. Hearing him Julian didn''t think much because he couldn''t enter this dimension but Gengar could so he let Gengar explore it, he knew that Gengar is working on perfecting his own dimension, Julian doesn''t have much knowledge about this dimension but his system is working on it. It is recording every progress that Gengar is making while creating his own dimension, at the start, his dimension was small and weak and it shattered multiple times as he knew nothing about it and how to keep it alive but Gengar kept working on it and now it has stabilized and is expanding. Julian is waiting for the day, Gengarpletes his own dimension because once that isplete, he can actually use it and make a mini-world inside for all of his pokemons to stay in there. But that day is very far away and Gengar is not even close to creating the perfect dimension. Chapter 801 - Alder Since Gengar is trying to figure out how to create the perfect dimension, Julian decided to let him roam around and find ess to the dimension he just sensed around the tower. Once Gengar left his shadow and disappeared into the huge crowd, Julian also made his way into the tower, but before that he looked up to see how high the tower really is and he couldn''t see the tip of the tower at all. ?? He ignored it and walked in, there are a lot of people here and the first floor is actually massive with numerous people standing around the graves of pokemon and paying their respect, it seems that no one is allowed to take any photos inside here. Julian looked around and saw countless graves, the very first floor is already bigger than ten battlefieldsbined and they are already filled with tombstones of dead pokemons, he could see people standing in front of them, some of them were crying and it was clear that the loss was new. Some just stood in front of the tomb and talked to it, maybe indicating that it has been very long since the pokemon has died. Julian didn''t understand why this ce was a tourist spot, this ce is filled with so much sorrow and sadness of both people and pokemon, but Julian also sensed something else around this ce, a very cold aura all around this ce. It is the same aura when a ce would be infested with ghost type pokemons and Julian could sense them, a lot of ghost type pokemons all over this ce. It looks like these pokemons have no problem with these people around here, Julian continued up the tower and he started to feel the surrounding getting colder, it was clear that the pokemons here are stronger than the ones below. Julian also started to notice something else, trainers, and their trainers are here to catch ghost type pokemons. Catching pokemon here was not forbidden, instead, sometimes they heldputation here for trainers on catching the most ghost type pokemons, with so many dead pokemons in the tower, its a ma for ghost-type pokemons and they might overpopte this ce. Trainers and weed to catch them and take them away so that ghost pokemons don''t overpopte this tower, even trainers who want to catch ghost type pokemonse here as their very first option because most of the ghost type pokemons that can be found here have a lot of potentials. With constantly being exposed to such thick ghostly aura, their foundation is better than the ones that can be found in the wild, most of Shauntal''s ghost pokemons were caught here as well, this also made trainers very eager to catch a pokemon of that potential, a ghost pokemon that can grow as strong as an elite level pokemon. Julian continued his way up the tower, the higher he got the more powerful the ghost-type pokemons were being found, the number of trainers also got less but the quality of the trainers got higher. Trainers that are able to catch pokemons here are a lot more experienced and know what they want, Julian watched a few trainers catch their pokemons and then continued up, on his way up he also encountered some powerful ghost type pokemons but they didn''t bother to mess with him at all. They just went right past him as his existence didn''t matter, ghost type pokemons are not like this, they like to get the attention of people and mess with their head but these ghost type pokemons are interested in somethingpletely different. Julian remembered the dimension Gengar was trying to find and he thought about it. Julian ''Maybe they are also searching for this gate, maybe this dimension is rted to the ghost type pokemons'' He thought and continued forward. After an hour, Julian finally reached the top of the tower and he was surprised to see someone he didn''t expect to meet. A middle-aged man with long red hair tied up in a ponytail, he is wearing a tribal type of cloth while he also has pokeballs around his neck. This person is none other than the champion of the Unova region, Alder. Alder was holding a rope that is tied to a wooden log, this log seems to be used for hitting the bell to ring the bell, Alder pulled the rope and then rammed it at the bell to create a loud gong sound that covered arge area. Julian listened to the sound of the bell and felt different. Julian ''It looks like the rumors are true, this sound is very soothing'' He thought and sat down on a bench that was nearby, Alder continued hitting the bell a few more times before finally stopping, when he turned around he noticed that he has an audience, he didn''t realize that he was being watched by someone as he was fully concentrated in his task. As Alder looked at the young in front of him, a surprised expression appeared on his face and he didn''t expect to meet this young man here. Alder "Hahaha, looks like it''s my lucky day, to meet the great Julian himself" He said andughed cheerfully. Julian "Oh, you recognized me?" He was surprised, he is not wearing his usual outfit and his face is covered as well. Alder "Hahaha, of course, those eyes of yours, are the eyes of a warrior, I could recognize those eyes in a crowd among thousands, it''s not easy to find someone with such fierce eyes" He said. Julian "I see, it''s my eyes then" He said and gave it a thought, next time he will be wearing sunsses when he walks around the city so people can''t recognize him. Alder "Yes indeed, a warrior''s eye, no wonder you are so powerful, not just anyone could possess such eyes as yours" He said andughed. While Alder talks about Julian''s eyes, what he really meant was the way Julian looked at others, it was the look of someone who is at the top and doesn''t need to be bothered by others, he knew he is the best and he doesn''t need to prove it to others. Just like a Warrior. Chapter 791 - Julian Vs Skyla (1) Julian called his organization, the person who picked it up is none other than the previous member of the underworld that Julian had rescued. His family has been brought to the maind along with all other families that were trapped on that ind which was quite easy, the ind was not too big and even the forces that were present there were limited, a raid from the league and the Underworld had to abandon it. ?? "Boss" He called out from the other end of the call excitedly. Julian "Yes, it''s me, I need you to spy on someone and get some details about him and his activities from the past few days till now" "Ok, Boss, you don''t have to worry about it, so who is this person?" Julian "A judge from Unova, his name is George Peterson" "I will put my best men on the task, you don''t have to worry about it boss" Julian "Hmm" Julian ended the call and looked at Jenny who is getting ready to leave, even though she would like to stay she needs to get back to her job, with what happened yesterday, the city is on high alert and every officer has to do overtime, Jenny used the break she got toe and meet Julian and now she has to go back and work. Julian finished eating and went to bed as tomorrow he will have to battle Sk for his sixth gym badge ____________________ The next day, Julian woke up quite early and got ready for his gym battle, he first when to the nearest pokemon park and warmed up his pokemon and fed them their breakfast, after an hour he finally headed towards the gym. The gym was open and it looks like he is not the first one toe here, a trainer walked out of the gym dejected, it was clear that he lost to Sk. She does have a reputation for being a very hard gym leader to defeat. As he walked in he found a middle-aged man who seems to be the gym keeper of this gym, as he saw Julian he bowed and showed Julian to the battlefield where Sk is waiting for him, her previous battle was very easy and her pokemons didn''t even receive a scratch. But right now she is a little tense, her rtionship with Julian didn''t matter right now because she is battling him as a gym leader and it is her duty to do it the right way. Julian looked at Sk, she is wearing her blue uniform, the same one she had worn when he first met her. Sk is a little nervous right now, she has had her fun with Julian but now it''s different, Julian has a reputation for being one of the most powerful trainers in this world and he uses gym leaders as stepping stones for his pokemons, this reputation of his made many gym leaders wanting to be the one who stopped Julian in his path and defeat him at least once, till now no one has done it. Even if he is her master she wanted that title for herself as well because she is also a very passionate pokemon trainer and her love for this is as equal to her love for flying high in the sky. Julian stood on the battlefield and looked at Sk who has put up a very serious face, this is the first time Julian has seen her like this and he likes it. The gym keeper seems to be the referee as well so he took his position and looked at both trainers. Referee "This is a three on three pokemon battle, during the battle only the challenger is allowed to switch his pokemon, the battle will end when one of the two trainers don''t have any pokemon who is able to battle on their team. Are the rules clear?" The referee exined the rules and asked if both trainers are ready, he soon got a nod from both sides so he moved on and asked both trainers to send out their pokemon. Sk went first and took out a Pokeball and sent out her first pokemon, Swoobat. Julian looked at this pokemon, he knows it is a very fast pokemon and a Special Attacker but Julian is not worried about it because these pokemons don''t have good Defense or Special Defense, it can be taken down very easily with a good hit, the only problem will be its speed, but Julian is already thinking about his strategy to take down this Swoobat. Julian then takes out his Pokeball and sends out his own pokemon, Archen, his first pick. Though his Archen is still in his first stage he is much stronger than so many pokemon species that are at their second stage and some who are even in their final stage. His Archen''s attack stat is also very good and can easily go head to head with an Arcanine who is on the same level even though his size is very small, making him clearly the prehistoric beast that he is. Referee "Now, let the battle begin" With both pokemons on the battlefield, the Referee didn''t wait and started the battle. Sk waited and decided to let Julian make the first move, she did her homework and noticed that Julian would always let his opponent make the first move ande up with a counter. She didn''t want that to happen and decided to let him take the lead so she can be the one to counter and put her in an advantageous position. Julian noticed that Sk didn''t want to make the first move, he smiled and decided to attack. Julian "Use Quick Attack". Chapter 792 - Julian Vs Skyla (2) Since Sk didn''t want to make the first move, Julian decided to fulfill his wish and became the first on the strike by calling out a Quick Attack. Archen even though looks small and slow he is not, his legs are very powerful, powerful enough to do a long jump up to 16 meters and a high jump up to 6 meters, and with pping his wings he can increase the length and height of these jumps. ?? With his power legs, he charged at the Swoobat, so fast that it surprised both Swoobat and Sk, Archen jumped andnded the Quick Attack before Swoobat could even move out of the way. The hard rocky head of Archen twisted the stomach of Swoobat and sent it backward doing multiple flips in the air. Archennded on the ground slowly after using his wings and gliding down, Sk didn''t expect this, she thought with her Swoobat''s speed she would be able to counter Julian''s attack but it seems his Archen is not slow either, he is fast, very fast. Because of his powerful feet, he canunch himself at a very high speed. while running around he would not be able to challenge Swoobat''s speed but with his burst of power within his leg''s he can. Sk realized that giving Julian any chance to attack is the wrong move and she quickly changed her tactic, luckily for her, a Quick Attack is not a very powerful move, even though fast it cannot deal lethal damage to end a pokemon battle unless the levels between the two pokemons are massively apart. Her Swoobat survived but the damage from the Quick Attack couldn''t be ignored, she knows her Swoobat cannot take hits like that do to its weak Defense and Special Defense. Sk "Make some distance and use Air Cutter" With its incredible speed, Swoobat was quickly able to make a massive distance between it and Archen and soon sent multiple des made of wind at Archen. Julian "Counter with Rock Throw" Archen also created multiple small rocks and sent it towards the iing the Air Cutters, as both attacks shed it created a cloud of dust as the rocks were turned into dust blocking both side''s vision on each other. Julian "Another Rock Throw" Julian didn''t care about the smoke and called for another one, with no target to lock onto the Archen just blindly aimed the attack in the same direction asst time. Sk also didn''t hold back and called for another Air Cutter. Both pokemons attacked but this time they had no target to lock on to, as both attacks passed through the dust cloud all of them could hear the sound of the collision but not all of them collided, Some of the Air Cutters came out of the dust cloud that has increased in size and the Air Cutters are directly heading towards Archen and the same could be said for those flying rocks as well. Some of them went past through the dust could and headed towards Swoobat. The Air Cutters hit Archen as they were faster than him but with his being a Rock Type as well he easily resisted them with very little damage on his side. On the other hand, Swoobat used its speed to dodge some rocks but it couldn''t dodge it all and got hit hard by one of the rocks, one of its wings got hit when it tried to move to the side to dodge that rock. It then came crashing down as it cannot fly with just one wing, seeing his opponent''s pokemon falling down Julian decided to go for the finish. Julian "Use Head Smash" Yes, his Archen knew Head Smash, one of the most powerful Rock-type moves. Sk was not going down so easily, seeing that Julian was intending to finish it right here she wanted to counter with her strongest move as well. Sk "Use Expanding Force" Expanding Force is a powerful Psychic-type Special Attack and its power will double when used inside a Psychic Terrain but there is no Psychic Terrian so she has to go with it anyway. Julian had predicted this so he called for Head Smash, even though a powerful move it has massive side effects as well, the more power Archen puts behind the attack, he will receive half of its damage due to the recoil. As Archen charged in with his rocky head covered with ayer of hard glowing rock and his body covered in white energy, his speed increased with every step. The falling Swoobat also used Expanding Force releasing a psychic st all over the battlefield, Archen smashed right through the psychic st but he received the recoil damage from it but he continued forward. Sk was surprised by this, she knows how Head Smash works so she expected Archen to slow down but she severely underestimated Julian''s Archen, even though he received damage and lost some heath, it didn''t matter. He has survived stronger hits before. He then connected the Head Smash and sent the Swoobat flying out of the battlefield but he once again took the recoil damage and his health was reduced to half. But there is nothing to worry about it now, Julian looked at the Swoobat which has been knocked out and nted on the wall behind Sk. The referee also saw this and gave his verdict. Referee "Swoobat is unable to battle, Archen wins" After hearing the result, Archen jumps around happily as he won his very first official battle, Julian watched with a smile and sighed. He had expected Archen to evolve but it seems like he will be pushing it if he continues so he decided to let Archen rest for the day, Swoobat was a higher level pokemonpacted to Archen but due to the massive attack stat that Archen has, he was able to level with it. Chapter 804 - Finding The Dimension Source Gengar and Marshadow continued down the street of this ancient-looking city before they finally found themselves in front of a massive crystal that is in the middle of the street. This crystal is very massive, reaching about 17 meters in height and 12 meters in width, the crystal is ck in color but it has a purple hue that moves around it making it look very beautiful. ?? Gengar [Such a powerful aura] Gengar said as he looked at the Crystal, this was indeed a surprise to him, this crystal has a lot of power inside it and it looks like a lot of ghost pokemons are here to absorb this aura to be stronger. But for Gengar it is useless, this energy is nothingpared to the one Julian has around him and this energy is slightly weaker than his own. If he had not broke through level 100 he would have been tempted to absorb it and try to breakthrough. Marshadow [Were you looking for this as well?] Marshadow asked curiously, he is here to absorb the energy from this crystal to improve his source energy even more and wondered if Gengar is here to do the same, it is still not at a level to tell that Gengar doesn''t need the energy from this massive crystal as Gengar''s source is even purer. Gengar [Gege, no, but I found it] He said and suddenly dove into the shadow, Marshadow got startled but soon followed into the shadow as well, shadow being its origin it could easily enter them, unlike some other ghost-type pokemons. Gengar and Marshadow passed through the shadow and went deep into the ground and once they reached a certain level, they both were suddenly stopped by a forcefield, even Gengar was stopped, well he was just moving forward so he didn''t have much power behind him. Marshadow also stopped as it bumped into this invisible force and hit its head. Gengar giggled as he saw this and looked at the invisible wall that is in the ground blocking anyone from entering, it is even suppressing the energy that ising from inside, others might not notice it but Gengar who has been dabbling into dimension can clearly sense it. He grinned widely and ced his hand on the invisible barrier and pressed it hard, the power that Gengar released suffocated Marshadow and it backed of a little, then Marshadow suddenly notice cracks suddenly appearing in thin air. Gengar was breaking the invisible barrier with brute force, soon his aura escaped the underground, and even the ghost type pokemons who were absorbing the energy around the massive crystal suddenly felt massive pressure and all of them backed off in fear. Back to Gengar, the cracks were growing much wider and spreading faster, then it shattered as Gengar''s arm went right through creating a hole in the middle, he then quickly entered the hole and Marshadow followed behind. As soon as Marshadow entered the hole, the cracks suddenly repaired itself and the barrier became invisible again as if it never existed before. As Marshadow entered the other side of the barrier, it found itself in an empty void with nothing else but a small glowing ball in the middle and Gengar is floating next to it and checking it out. Marshadow got curious and headed towards the glowing ball, as it got closer, it felt like the glowing ball will suck it in if he gets any closer. Gengar [Don''t get any closer, you will be pulled and thrown into a different dimension with no way toe back] Gengar warned Marshadow and continued to study the ball. Marshadow [Is this the thing you were looking for?] It asked. Gengar [Yes] Marshadow [What is it?] Gengar [A dimension core, the thing responsible for keeping this dimension stable and stopping it from copsing into nothing, gegegege] Gengar said andughed. Marshadow [Ohhhhhhhhh] Marshadow eximed as it has no idea what Gengar is talking about. Gengar [Gegege, should I take this away with me?] Gengar said and looked at Marshadow with a big grin on his face, Marshadow froze for a second as he realized what Gengar just asked it, if it had said yes, this whole dimension would disappear along with every pokemon that is here. Marshadow then shook its head very fast telling Gengar not to do it. Gengar [Gegege, I am just joking] Gengarughed and continued to study the energy source of this dimension, this energy source looked very small but the energy that is contained is tremendous, if Gengar takes this energy source away, he can use it for his own dimension and make it a lot better. But Gengar doesn''t want to do so, he knows what is wrong and right, even though his master might not be the most righteous person, he knew what is good and what is bad and innocents should never get involved and Gengar has inherited this ideology as well. Gengar [You should use this energy to refine your source, it can be very helpful] Gengar told Marshadow to what to do so it can benefit a little before they leave this void, Marshadow nodded and started to absorb the radiating energy from the dimension source, as Marshadow got busy Gengar continued to study the source. The more he looked at it, the more he realized that there is a lot for him to learn and even after spending some time with this source, Gengar realized that even this dimension is not perfect. It has several ws but Gengar did learn a lot. Chapter 794 - Julian Vs Skyla (4) Skarmory is now under the effects of Burn and it is a bad sign for Sk, her second pokemon will not be able to hold on for much longer. Her Skarmory crashes on the ground head first then back, it then uses its wings to get back on to its feet but the Burn suddenly kicked in and its body got engulfed in mes. ?? Skarmory''s legs went weak and its body toppled on the ground but it was not out, it can go on due to its very high Defense stat but it won''tst very long. On the ground damaged and burnt, Skarmory is trying its best to get up but the rising temperature of its body is not helping at all, being a steel type makes it even worse. Sk "Skarmory, there is nothing to lose, we will go down but we will also take down our opponent, use Sky Attack" Sk decided to go all out with her Skarmory''s most powerful move Sky Attack, in this, the pokemon reaches high up in the sky and dives down at an incredible speed, with the sunlight behind its back, itpletely cloaks itself and bes invisible to its opponent. This is a very high damage attack and Julian won''t risk taking a hit from this because it will be game over for his Larvesta, even if he has not taken any damage from their shes. Julian "Use Harden, then Protect, then Leach Life" Knowing the danger of the iing attack Julian went all out on defense on his side, he ordered Larvesta to use Harden to increase his Defense, then let the Protect reduce the power behind the Sky Attack and then use Leach Life to observe the health he will lose after that exchange He doesn''t know if the Protect can protect from this Sky Attack but that is also the reason why he is using Leach Life and Harden. The awaited Sky Attack came near as Larvesta used Harden rising his Defense and once he saw the ck dot that was surrounded by sunlight he used Protect and created a forcefield in front of him. Scarmory continueding down and crash into the Protect and as Julian expected, Larvesta''s Protect was not strong enough to hold on for much longer and it shattered under that massive stress and he had anticipated this. Sk''s Skarmory is very powerful and can easily be a champion level pokemon and his Larvesta is under-leveledpared to Skarmory. As the Protect shattered the next in line to receive the attack was Larvesta but the Harden has risen his defense and the Protect had destroyed most of the Sky Attack''s momentum, Skarmory crashed into Larvesta and sent him rolling backward. But Julian has seen thising, his Larvesta took damage but not something too lethal for the battle to end, then Larvesta rushed in with his body surrounded by green aura as heshed out at Skarmory and hit him dealing damage and stealing half of damage health. The damage that Larvesta took from the Sky Attack got healed, not fully but he is close to perfect condition, but the story was not over as the Burn kicked in once again, Skarmory''s body got engulfed by mes it dealt more damage. Skarmory is in bad shape and it has no strength to perform another attack. Julian "Finish it, use me Wheel" With already a lot of speed boost under his tiny feet, Larvesta''s speed was blinding and with this me Wheel as hended the finishing blow on the weak Skarmory which ended the battle. Skarmory copsed on the ground knocked out, it took a lot of damage showing its great defense but it couldn''t take on the continuous Burn, it was too much for a steel type pokemon. Sk gritted her teeth as her second pokemon is down and she is on herst pokemon while Julian still has to reveal his third and none of his pokemons are down, he wouldn''t even have to bring out his third pokemon if this continues. Sk called back her Skarmory and praised it for doing a good job and took out herst Pokeball, her ace of the team, she sent out her final pokemon for this battle, her Swanna. A Swanna is a good allrounder pokemon with good speed but in this battle, it will have an edge over Larvesta because it is a Water/Flying-type and both of its typing has an advantage over Larvesta''s both typing Fire and Bug. But Julian decided to stay with Larvesta, Larvesta was not pushed too much in his battle with Skarmory, Julian knew he needed more. Julian "Larvesta, let''s continue" He said to which Larvesta nodded his head determined to take down his next opponent as well, this massive bird pokemon that stood in front of him. This time Julian decided to make the first move. Julian "Let''s go, use String Shot" Larvesta didn''t fool around and shot a long string of sticky web at Swanna. Sk "Counter with Water Gun" Swanna sted at Water Gun at the iing string andpletely washed it off, the attack then continued towards Larvesta but he was too quick for the attack to hit him so he dodged it very easily. Julian "Use, Bug Buzz" Hearing Julian, Larvesta started to vibrate his underdeveloped wings creating a buzzing sound, suddenly waves of bug aura emitted out of Larvesta and travelled towards Swanna. Sk "Quick, take the sky" Her Swanna pped its massive wings and took flight dodging the Bug Buzz. Julian "Giga Drain" As soon as it took flight, Julian made the call and Larvesta sted a greenser at Swanna, it was too fast to dodge at the attack hit, but instead of causing any physical damage, it started to suck the energy out of Swanna and fed it to Larvesta who is notpletely healed and back to full health. Sk "Fly high and use Water Pulse" Sk yed smart and decided to make some distance and use a good Water Pulse with the help of gravity to elerate its speed and power, Swanna flew high and shot a big ball of spinning water at Larvesta intending to finish the battle in one hit if possible. Julian "Use methrower to counter" Now Larvesta got the chance to show off the capability of his fire, he aimed at the Water Pulse and sted a methrower at it, the power behind the attack was not as goodpared to his physical attacks but the temperature of the fire was very hot. As two attacks made contact, the sound of the water turning into steam covered the whole battlefield, as it got close to Larvesta, the Water Pulse size has been reduced to the size of a golf ball which thenpletely disappeared. This just showed how hot Larvesta''s fire really is. Chapter 806 - Reaching Icirrus City Once Julian left the celestial tower he asked Gengar about his little trip. Julian [Did you find anything?] ?? He asked while Gengar was still in his shadow. Gengar [Gegege, I found the source of the dimension but it was not good enough for me, but I did learn a lot] Julian [Good, anything else?] Gengar [Ya, I also met the little Marshadow that I told you about in the past, the little one is a genius, it seems to be focusing on perfecting his source every time it levels, up, it has slowed down his growth but he is clearly very strong. If you take it under you, it will be one of your most powerful pokemons ever] Gengar said proudly. Julian [Oh, one of my best, you say?] Gengar [Yes] Julian [Too bad, my team is already set, and to find this one pokemon in a world so big is near impossible, it will depend on luck] Gengar [Gegegege] Gengarughed. Julian smiled and continued riding. Since Gengar has learned a lot from the dimension, Julian decided to let him improve his own dimension while Julian head towards Icirrus City, on his way he camped multiple times, and during these camps, the training didn''t stop. He ns to use Fraxure and Deino for his battle against the ice type gym leader, it might be a hard one, especially for Deino as he is still in his very first stage. These training camps were very hard and Julian pushed both of them beyond their limit and he would always make them battle Garchomp, every time they battled, theysted a second more in the battle against him. Well, they did work together and that is why they were able to survive for much longer, if they took on Garchomp single-handedly they would never be able to improve because they would get destroyed before they could make any progression during a battle. Garchomp didn''t go easy on them and used every possible way he can think of to attack the two because in a real battle that will happen and the attacks from a pokemon wille from a random direction. A battle needs both trainer''s input and a pokemon''s battle knowledge, a trainer is there to figure out the best way possible to win the battle while the pokemon is there to execute that move in the best way possible by figuring out on how to deal that damage effectively and from where it should attack its opponent. Julian''s Unova pokemonsck this knowledge so this real scenario training helps them learn about how to move on a battlefield and how to figure out where their opponent might attack them. ____________________ After a week of riding, Julian finally arrived at his destination, he could see the massive city in front of him, this city is home to many ice type pokemons that habitat the coldkes in the city. Julian is also interested in a few things that are around the city, such as the Dragonspiral Tower. Dragonspiral Tower is said to be the oldest structure or monument in Unova and it dates before the three dragons as well, researchers are not able to identify the age of this tower because of the special material that was used to build this structure. It has withstood the test of time for ages and is still the same it was thousand of years ago, Julian is interested in looking into this tower because legend says that the dragons were actually sealed in this tower but now its the past because Julian has seen one of them, Zekrom. If Zekrom is out, Reshiram must also be free and roaming out there,pared to Zekrom, Reshiram seems to be very idle because there have been sightings of Zekrom throughout Unova in the past while Reshiram has never shown itself, but there have been people who im that there saw the silhouette of Reshiram and nothing else. Having nned out what to do already, Julian drove towards the city wondering what the city has to offer to him. As he got closer to the city he started to notice a lot of water bodies and these bodies have a lot of pokemon on this, since it is not winter, thesekes look very lively but when winteres they freezepletely and the pokemons that depend on these water bodies move away except the ones that cannot. As they will be trapped under a thickyer of ice, Julian continued and finally entered the city, as he entered the city he noticed that a lot of people were walking around the street but what was really weird was theck of pokemons with them. People love to hang out with their pokemons and roam with them around their city and enjoy their time together but from what he is seeing, that doesn''t seem to be the case right here in Icirrus City. People are not hanging around with their pokemons, Julian continued forward and quickly stopped in front of a hotel and rented a room for himself. After showing his ID to the hotel receptionist he got a special treatment which he expected, as he was guided to his room, he decided to ask them about the current situation of the city and why are people not hanging out with their pokemon. Julian "I noticed that people are not with their pokemon and they seemed quite on edge, what is going on in the city?" He asked the person who was escorting him to his room. "Sir, it because of this organization called Team sma, over the past few months they are terrorizing the people of the city and stealing their pokemons, that is why people are afraid to take out their pokemon in the open" The person said. Hearing this Julian frowned, he didn''t expect the terror of Team sma is growing at such a rapid rate. Chapter 807 - Being Watched Julian didn''t expect Team sma to be causing so much trouble here in Icirrus city, what he is more curious is about why they are targeting Icirrus city instead of other cities, this is not the biggest city nor a city that is known for the high pokemon poption. There is no reason for Team sma to be so active here unless they are nning something here or their headquarters is near this city or in this city itself, if that is really the case, Julian might try to find them and destroy the headquarters and don''t give them any chance to cause more trouble in the future. ?? Julian "What about the police? aren''t they able to handle it?" "No, not at all, there are a lot of Team sma members in the city, they clearly outnumber and outmatch the officers, even their pokemons were snatched away" The hotel worker said. Julian "What about the gym leader? What is he doing about this matter?" "Well the gym leader is trying his best to chase away these organizations but he is just a single man, he cannot take on the whole organization,st time he got surrounded by a bunch of elite Team sma grunts and was forced into a corner. Having no choice he had to back off" He exined. Julian "I see, you can go now" Julian sent the hotel worker away and entered his room, with the knowledge of what is going on in the city, Julian decided to check it out and see what he can do, from what he heard from the hotel worker, the gym leader of Icirrus city couldn''t handle the current problem. If he continues to fail, he might call the league, if fact he might have already informed them about it and the league might be sending a member of the Elite Four to handle this situation. But he still had doubts about the Elite Four being able to handle this situation, the number game is something one cannot ovee unless there are ridiculously powerful but the Elite Four or not on that level. Even a Champion will have a hard time dealing with the number game, the league can also not afford a war and send out multiple agents because it might destroy the city if the two factions engage in a massive fight. This will then cost the league even more money to rebuild the infrastructure of the city back to how it was before it got destroyed. Julian put on a different pair of clothes after cleaning himself and headed out again, as he had seen before, the people in the city looked on edge from the constant threat of Team sma popping up and trying to steal their pokemons. Julian kept an open eye for anything suspicious but he couldn''t find anyone that looked suspicious, every person he saw just looked like a normal citizen, some worried about the city''s current situation while others were indifferent about it. Finding nothing suspicious, Julian decided to look around the city and enjoy his time here, he came across a pokemon fan club which is closed right now, Julian knows that this ce would have been buzzing with people and pokemon if the city wasn''t under the constant threat of Team sma. He walked past the pokemon fan club and found a massage parlor for his pokemons, since they were on a such a lot trip, his pokemons deserve some rest and rxation. Luckily the massage parlor is open and taking customers, as Julian headed into the parlor, the workers who werezing around were surprised to see a customer, these past few days, they have not gotten any customer because no one was willing toe here because of the fear of Team sma stealing their pokemons. Even though no one wasing to their parlor, the owner of the parlor ordered them to keep working as he didn''t want to suffer any loss, even if one customeres, that customer is bringing in money, that was the ideology of the owner. The workers were 100% sure that no one is going toe but they are surprised by seeing a customer, they looked at this customer who has his face covered, they could easily tell that this guy is not from their city and is a traveler. ''Poor guy! Looks like he doesn''t know the current situation of the city'' The workers thought but they didn''t say anything to Julian, since he is here, they might just charge him money because even they need it for their living. "Wee, how may I help you today" A worker approached Julian with a smile on his face as if nothing is going on and everything is normal, Julian smiled underneath his mask and said nothing, he knew they are here to earn money and it''s ok to be selfish for their own benefit. Julian "I want the best treatment from my pokemons" "I see, you havee to the right ce, we are the best pokemon massage parlor in the city, you have nothing to worry about" Julian "Good" He said and brought out his pokemons, it was all his Unova pokemons, after training for weeks under Julian and going through hell training, they needed relief. Seeing so many pokemons, the workers got excited because they realized that this person in front of them was a big customer and they are going to get paid a lot for the best service they provide. The workers soon escorted Julian''s pokemon into the massage room where they will be treated, Julian, on the other hand, waited in the waiting room and started to read the magazine that was ced on the table. A little distance away from the massage parlor, few people in uniform were looking through binocrs into the massage parlor. "Hehehe, an ignorant trainer, he is going to lose all this pokemons, they all seem really powerful as well" They said and started tough. Chapter 808 - Capturing The Grunts Julian was not expecting Team sma members to target him so quickly, he hasn''t been in the city for even an hour and he has already attracted some attention. Well, it didn''t mean that he didn''t do it on purpose, he wanted to lure out these idiots since they were not roaming in public, he decided to bring them out from their hiding. ?? He looked around the city and noticed that only a few pokemon service stores were open and since these stores are in high demand when ites to trainers as they regrly visit these ces to treat their pokemon. This has to clearly be the best possible ce for these goons to camp waiting for trainers who have no idea what is happening to steal their pokemons, Julian knew this and that is why he chose the best massage center he could find and see if he could attract the attention of these grunts by doing so. And as he nned, he got their attention, what he didn''t expect that they would notice him right off the bat. Julian continued to read the magazine while he waited for Team sma to make a move and he hopes they fall for the trap because it would be a lot easier to find out where their hideout is and what is their purpose here in Icirrus City. As he turned the page of the magazine he suddenly received a message from Gengar, yes he also had Gengar on the watch and it seems he has spotted the target. Julian ''Well they are quite early than I thought'' Julian said inside his head and continued reading the magazine. ___________________ On top of a building next to the massage parlor, three Team sma grunts are standing and one of them is looking through binocrs. "Guys, this guy''s pokemons are ridiculous, he has a Deino, Fraxure, Larvesta, Golurk, Archeops, Escavalier, Gigalith, Excadrill, and Darmanitan, this guy must be a very strong pokemon trainer" One of them said. "Indeed, his pokemons are very strong, we should snatch all these pokemons and give them to the king" Another one said. "Ya, let''s go" All of them agreed and jumped off the roof as their backs were attached to a rope, once they got on the floor, they headed towards the parlor to hijack it and steal Julian''s pokemon, but as soon as they set their foot on the parlor''s premises, they felt something was off as they couldn''t feel the ground beneath their legs. They got stunned and looked down to find themselves standing on top of a ck shadow as their legs were being sucked into the ground, they panicked and tried to pull out their leg but no matter how much effort they put behind it, their legs were continued being sucked into the ground. They looked at the dark shadow in horror and screamed but it seems like no one was able to hear them at all, then they suddenly noticed two crimson glowing eyes looked at them. All three of them felt terrified, so much that now they couldn''t even emit a sound from their mouth, soon their whole body was sucked into the shadow and they disappeared without anyone noticing. Gengar then came out of the ground andughed. Gengar [Gegegegegegegegege] Heughed and headed back to Julian. Julian [Did you capture them?] He asked. Gengar [Gegege, yes] Julian [Good, I will talk to themter] Julian said and smiled while continued reading the magazine which is filled with pictures of very sexy models. After a few hours, the massage was finally over, all of his pokemons seems relieved from all their stress and looked very rxed and happy, Julian paid them their price and walked out of the parlor, and headed back to his hotel room. Once he got back into his room he called Gengar out of his shadow. Julian [Bring them out] Gengar "Gegegege" Gengarughed and brought out the three Team sma grunts, all three of them are knocked out cold but still breathing, Julian took out a rope and asked Gengar to tie them up and he took away their pokeballs. He then took out a bottle of water and sshed it across their face to wake them up, all three of them woke up confused, thest thing they remembered was them being sucked into the ground by a shadow with crimson eyes. They were so scared that they fainted right after that, they noticed that they are tied up as well, they looked around and found themselves on the ground, the walls around them looked very good a premium as they realized that they are inside some kind of expensive hotel. Julian "Now that all of you are up, let''s get talking" They suddenly heard a voice and turned their head towards the direction and saw a man wearing a green jacket with a mask on his face, they clearly recognized this person because he was the trainer they were about to target and snatch his pokemons. "You" All of them said, stunned by looking at the person in front of them, they also noticed a Gengar standing beside him and they could clearly recognize those crimson eyes anywhere because those are the same ones they saw in the shadow. Gengar "Gegegegege" Gengarughed as he noticed the three grunts look at him in shock and fear, hearing Gengar''sugh the three shuddered in fear a cold chill ran down their spine. Julian "I won''t be wasting my time nor yours so I was clear and direct answers and if you don''t answer properly you will be going back into the shadow" Julian threatened them. The grunts'' faces went white as they clearly remembered how the feeling of their legs sinking into nothingness felt like and they never wanted to experience it again. "We will tell everything" All of them said as they didn''t want to go through the same feeling again. Julian smiled at them as he didn''t have to work hard to break through their mind, just a little nted fear was enough. Chapter 798 - Archen Vs Golett (2) Since Golett made his statement that he won''t be ying Archen''s games, Archen had no choice to change his strategy but this might put him at a disadvantage. Since Golett doesn''t want to y Archen''s game, he decided to go even harder than before, Archen used Ariel Ace and suddenly disappeared from his spot and appeared right in front of Golett and crashed into him. ?? This attack caught Golett by surprise because Archen''s speed was too fast for him toe up with a counter or even dodge. Archen had actually anticipated this move from Golett, so he used Agility to increase his speed multiple times while using the Dragon Pulse as a distraction and now he is able tond that Ariel Ace with speed. Golett was sent back after that Ariel Ace and struggled to bnce himself and fell down, because of the speed the hit was harder than expected and Archen has a rock hard head. But Archen didn''t stop there, since he got this edge, he is started to strike down on Golett with multiple attacks, as Golett tried to get back up, he got hit by a Dragon Pulse sending him to the ground again. Archen then charged at Golett and used Crunch, this time Golett will not be able to dodge it this time, the massive jaw made of dark energy mmed shut on top of Golett dealing a lethal blow. Golett was sent rolling on the ground again and he is seriously hurt, with Archen''s high attack stat and Golett being weak to dark types, it would be a miracle if a normal pokemon of Golett level survived that, but this is Golett and with the training, he has gone through he can pull off. And his will to continue fighting is even greater. Golett roared as he let out a defining humming sound and got to his feet and charged at Archen using Hammer Arm, as Golett was charging at Archen with full power his body started to shine and release a blinding light, soon his whole body started to change and his size. His height which was about 1.3 meters long started to grow and didn''t stop growing, his whole body expanded, his arms became massive, his legs also became massive, soon the growing stopped and the Golett who is now a Golurk is standing very tall at the height of 3.5 meters tall. The light faded away and Golurk was fully revealed to Julian and his other pokemons, in front of the massive pokemon, Archen looked very tinypared to his opponent as he is only 70 CMs tall. Golurk roared which caused the whole area to quake as he released his aura, some pokemons that were flying across the sky quickly changed their direction and headed in a different direction after sensing him. Archen was covered in his shadow as he looked at Golurk''s towering figure. Golurk roared and tried to punch Archen using Shadow Punch, seeing the iing attack Archen panicked as he knew he cannot counter this so he went on the defensive and used Protect and surrounded himself with a forcefield. Golurk''s Shadow Punchnded on the Protect and as soon as the contact took ce, cracks spread across the forcefield and it shattered into pieces and the punch continued andnded on Archen. And with his ability Iron Fist in y, the damage behind the attack is greater than a normal Shadow Punch, Archen got sted away after getting hit. Archen crashed on the ground and tried to get up but Golurkunched another Shadow Punch, if Archen gets hit again, he will lose and get knocked out, the power difference is too much and with Golurk''s current weight in y as well Archen is getting pushed around very easily. Knowing what he had to do, Archen didn''t back down and charged at Golurk but this time he used Head Smash, a risky move but a powerful one, powerful enough to go head-on against Golurk. Ayer of rock formed around Archen''s head while his body got covered with energy, both pokemons then shed in the middle of the battlefield, the sound and the shockwave traveled all across the valley while they also shattered the ground beneath their feet. The winner of the exchange was Archen because Head Smash is a very strong move, its damage-dealing capability is simr to moves like Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. Golurk''s hand got pushed back as he was about to lose bnce from the sudden shit of force in his massive body. Archen also backed down and suffered from the bacsh of the Head Smash, that was a risky move and it seems to have paid off, with so much force put behind Golurk''s arm, it dragged him back and he fell down on the ground hard which created a dust cloud around him. Seeing his chance, Archen went for the attack again and used Crunch, even if Golett evolved into Golurk, he is still weak to Dark-type attacks, and Crunch can deal a lot of damage and may even end this battle. Sensing the dangering towards him Golurk knows he has to dodge but his body weight was too much for him to get on his feet very quickly, seeing it was impossible to get on his feet on time, Golurk did somethingpletely amazing. His legs suddenly went inside his body along with his hands and then fire sted out of them and he suddenly took flight, he turned himself into a rocket. The dark jaws chomped down on nothing but air and disappeared while Golurk was flying up in the air looking down on Archen. His arms reappeared again and then he sted a Shadow Ball at Archen, luckily for Archen the Shadow Ball is very weak as Golurk is still not a good Special Attacker. But Archen won''t rick taking any hits, he is already hurt from this battle, to counter the move Archen use Ancient Power and sends a white glowing ball at the Shadow Ball, both attacks collide and create another explosion followed by a shockwave in mid-air. Archen seems to have lucked out because the Ancient Power seems to have blessed Archen and raised all his stats by one stage. The battle was getting more interesting but it was very clear that Golurk would win if this continues. Chapter 799 - Archen Vs Golurk As Archen''s every stat rose, he felt the power, he was faster and more powerful, that Ancient Power helped a lot, he decided to attack with another Ancient Power. Archen sted a white ball of energy at Golurk and Golurk countered with a Shadow Ball, the same thing happened as both moves collided but Archen experienced no change, the increase in power is not guaranteed every time Ancient Power is used. ?? Golurk was done waiting and suddenly dove down at Archen as the fire from his arms and bottom part of the body burst into massive mes thrusting him towards Archen even faster. Steel energy suddenly covered Golurk''s whole body as his massive frame came down even faster, Golurk used Heavy m. Heavy m is the type of move that depends on the user''s weight, the heavier the pokemon, the stronger the move, and one could easily tell that Golurk ways a lot, he is gigantic, even bigger than the biggest Golurk that have been seen in the wild or trained by a pokemon. On top of that Archen is also weak to Steel-type moves and this Heavy m will end it once and for all, no matter how high Archen rises his defense or tries to counter it, the speed and weight behind this attack are massive. Those thrusters were also putting a lot of weight behind this attack as well, this was an end game move, even Julian is surprised by seeing the power behind this move, this move can clearly be Golurk''s ace move, the move that can end it all. Archen saw this with wide eyes as the shadow of Golurkpletely covered his tiny body, but he has still not given up, he cried a battle cry and ran, there was no other option, the only way to survive is to escape from the attack''s radius. Archen used all that extra power he got and put it in his legs and sprinted out and kept running, as he made his way out of the shadow, Golurk crashed on the ground, Archen dodged the attack by a hair inch but it was not over. The crash was like a meteor hitting the ground, the whole ground shook and created a crater, the areas that were around the battlefield shook and experienced an earthquake which caused some pokemons to fly away in the sky while others took shelter, seeing the impact of the attack, Julian quickly put up a forcefield made of Omniforce to block the explosion from hitting his other pokemons. Rocks were sent flying everywhere and along with those rocks, Archen was also sent flying off his feet, some rocks hit him and restricted him from using his wings to glide away. As Archen came crashing down the rocks followed behind and buried him under them, Golurk then walked out of the massive crater he created and looked at the pile of rocks that has Archen buried inside them. Seeing no movement for a few seconds, Golurk raised his arms and let out a roar dering his victory but then something happened. Rays of light shot out from the gaps between the rocks and the rocks were sted away and right in the middle, everyone could see a glowing body that is growing in size, Archen started to evolve. His small body started to grow, his wings expanded and his tail became longer, as the glow disappeared Archeops is revealed, standing 1.8 meters tall, he was surrounded by the aura of a violent prehistoric predator. His attack stats raised significantly but it was not just his attack, even his Special Attack and Speed increased making him a force to reckon with. Archeops then sted another Dragon Pulse at Golurk, Golurk stood his ground and crossed his arms and blocked the Dragon Pulse head-on, surprisingly the Dragon Pulse was strong enough to push him back but Golurk stood his ground and waited till the Dragon Pulse faded away. Once it was gone, he suddenly changed into his jet form and took the sky, he went very high until he was not visible to Julian''s Unova pokemons. He then locked onto Archeops and dove down again using Heavy m and this time he used more thrust and therger distance also made a lot of difference as he is able to pick up more speed on his way down. Archeops roared and pped his wings and flew properly for the first time, he didn''t fear Golurk''s Heavy m and decided to take it head-on, halfway through their meeting, Archeops sted a Dragon Pulse at Golurk which he easily tore through but Archeops got what he wanted. To slow down Golurk a little, then Archeops used Head Smash, with his head enforced and every covering his body, he increased his speed and met Golurk in the middle. Both pokemon finally collided and the effect was not something one would expect from pokemons of their level, the scale of the explosion was as massive as ones that can be created when champion level pokemons sh. The shockwave followed after shattering the sound barrier which created a sonic boom, the massive explosion covered both pokemons that had just collided, and the next second two pokemons could be seen falling down. After a few seconds, they bothnded on the ground weak and unable to move, it seems to be a draw. Julian walked close to the area where they fell and looked at both Golurk and Archeops, after looking at them he called the battle an end. Julian "Golurk wins" As he said so, Golurk stood up from the pit and raised his hands up in the air, finally putting an end to this battle, Archeops was out cold inside the pit he created when he fell down. It was not that he lost that exchange, it was just that the circumstance didn''t favor him, Golurk was higher level so he has a little extra power, Heavy m was also very powerful but the move Archeops used was Head Smash which has massive recoil damage, he will receive half the damage he dealt with his opponent. And his ability didn''t favor him either. Defeatist, an ability that halved the user''s attack and special attack once their health gets lower than half their full health. With losing half of his attack stat after that collision, he couldn''t take it anymore and got knocked out after being pushed to the limit by Heavy m. Julian looked at Golurk and he is also heavily injured after the battle, they both will need a long rest. Chapter 800 - Celestial Tower The battle was very intense and Julian''s other pokemons were impressed by the chaos and damage that both Archeops and Golurk left behind. Golurk won that battle and is very excited about it, Archeops soon woke up and is a little disappointed about his loss, he gave it his all, but he came short at the end which led to the loss. ?? It could have been a draw if the power of his attack was not dropped by half, it also depended on their level, if both of them were on the same level Archeops would have been the clear winner, his stats are just too big all over the field, except defense but he can still take hits as well. Julian sent both of them back to their Pokeball and let them rest, he then focused on his remaining pokemons. His first four of Unova areing along very great and they have already started training under Victini and Garchomp and having mock battles against them, the couldn''t even get past one minute before getting knocked out by Garchomp or Victini but they are slowly improving. His other half is alsoing along great and they are about to catch up to the first four, now the only ones who still have to evolve are, Fraxure, Larvesta, and Deino. Julian is expecting Fraxure to evolve next and reach his final form, Deino is also close but not as close as Fraxure, he should hit the threshold any day. Julian knew that Deinos take very long to evolve but he is still surprised to see that it is still taking so much time for him to just evolve into his second stage, but Julian is not worried, he believes that Deino will evolve as they reach Icirrus city or after they go past the city. Even Fraxure as well, he will evolve soon and Julian is waiting for that moment, when Fraxure evolves, he will turn into a Haxorus who is known for having an attack stat that is even higher than Garchomps. People actually call it a Semi Pseudo legendary pokemon, but this title is too vague for Julian for him to consider them any close to a legendary pokemon. A Pseudo legendary pokemon like Garchomp has powers equal to a second rate legendary pokemon, like his Manaphy, anything below that level is not worthy to be given a legendary title. There is also the third rate legendary who are even weakerpared to pseudo legendary pokemons but they make up with their rarity and the legends and folklore that back of their tales. If a Haxorus could be called a Semi Pseudo legendary pokemon, then even Snox should be one of them but they are not considered Semi Pseudo even though their life force is ridiculous backed up with very good attacks and defense stats. Julian ignored all this and thought about his next challenge, he will be facing against an Ice-type gym leader and Julian is nning to use his Dragons for this battle, both Fraxure and Deino, it is risky but he wants to have some challenges along the way. He has heard about the gym leader of Icirrus city, he is a man of few words and is always serious but he is also a formidable gym leader, getting past him is said to be the hardest thing a trainer will experience even when their pokemons are on the same level. Of course, everyone expects the 8th gym to be the hardest but from what stats have shown, trainers have failed to clear the 7th gym more than when the faced off against the gym leader of the 8th gym, this just shows how much hard the gym leader of Icirrus gym really is. Julian then started to train Fraxure and Deino for their uing challenge, where they will be facing one of their hardest challenges ever on an official gym stadium. __________________ Training is going great and Fraxure is getting close to that limit and soon he will be able to experience another evolution, same could be said for Deino as well as he will be able to evolve soon as well. After a few days of riding, he finally came across the infamous Celestial tower, even though the concept behind this structure is very depressing, it is still a very famous tourist site. The celestial tower is actually a massive graveyard of pokemons, people from all over Unova bring their dead pokemon here and bury them so their spirits can rest in peace. The legends say that the bell on top of the tower is magical and when it rings, it soothes and calms down the spirit of dead pokemon and let them rest in peace. He looked at the tower which is a few kilometers away from him, he could already see a lot of people around the tower, some looked like tourist and others looked like they were here to pay respect to the deceased pokemon. Julian started his bike and then rode towards the tower without wasting any time. He then stopped right in front of the tower and parked his bike, Gengar who was inside his own dimension suddenly sensed something and his eyes suddenly appeared in Julian''s shadow as he looked at his surrounding. Julian [Did you sense anything?] He asked as he noticed Gengar came out of his dimension on his own. Gengar [Gegegege, yes, there is a door to a different dimension here] He said and giggled like always. Hearing him Julian didn''t think much because he couldn''t enter this dimension but Gengar could so he let Gengar explore it, he knew that Gengar is working on perfecting his own dimension, Julian doesn''t have much knowledge about this dimension but his system is working on it. It is recording every progress that Gengar is making while creating his own dimension, at the start, his dimension was small and weak and it shattered multiple times as he knew nothing about it and how to keep it alive but Gengar kept working on it and now it has stabilized and is expanding. Julian is waiting for the day, Gengarpletes his own dimension because once that isplete, he can actually use it and make a mini-world inside for all of his pokemons to stay in there. But that day is very far away and Gengar is not even close to creating the perfect dimension. Chapter 801 - Alder Since Gengar is trying to figure out how to create the perfect dimension, Julian decided to let him roam around and find ess to the dimension he just sensed around the tower. Once Gengar left his shadow and disappeared into the huge crowd, Julian also made his way into the tower, but before that he looked up to see how high the tower really is and he couldn''t see the tip of the tower at all. ?? He ignored it and walked in, there are a lot of people here and the first floor is actually massive with numerous people standing around the graves of pokemon and paying their respect, it seems that no one is allowed to take any photos inside here. Julian looked around and saw countless graves, the very first floor is already bigger than ten battlefieldsbined and they are already filled with tombstones of dead pokemons, he could see people standing in front of them, some of them were crying and it was clear that the loss was new. Some just stood in front of the tomb and talked to it, maybe indicating that it has been very long since the pokemon has died. Julian didn''t understand why this ce was a tourist spot, this ce is filled with so much sorrow and sadness of both people and pokemon, but Julian also sensed something else around this ce, a very cold aura all around this ce. It is the same aura when a ce would be infested with ghost type pokemons and Julian could sense them, a lot of ghost type pokemons all over this ce. It looks like these pokemons have no problem with these people around here, Julian continued up the tower and he started to feel the surrounding getting colder, it was clear that the pokemons here are stronger than the ones below. Julian also started to notice something else, trainers, and their trainers are here to catch ghost type pokemons. Catching pokemon here was not forbidden, instead, sometimes they heldputation here for trainers on catching the most ghost type pokemons, with so many dead pokemons in the tower, its a ma for ghost-type pokemons and they might overpopte this ce. Trainers and weed to catch them and take them away so that ghost pokemons don''t overpopte this tower, even trainers who want to catch ghost type pokemonse here as their very first option because most of the ghost type pokemons that can be found here have a lot of potentials. With constantly being exposed to such thick ghostly aura, their foundation is better than the ones that can be found in the wild, most of Shauntal''s ghost pokemons were caught here as well, this also made trainers very eager to catch a pokemon of that potential, a ghost pokemon that can grow as strong as an elite level pokemon. Julian continued his way up the tower, the higher he got the more powerful the ghost-type pokemons were being found, the number of trainers also got less but the quality of the trainers got higher. Trainers that are able to catch pokemons here are a lot more experienced and know what they want, Julian watched a few trainers catch their pokemons and then continued up, on his way up he also encountered some powerful ghost type pokemons but they didn''t bother to mess with him at all. They just went right past him as his existence didn''t matter, ghost type pokemons are not like this, they like to get the attention of people and mess with their head but these ghost type pokemons are interested in somethingpletely different. Julian remembered the dimension Gengar was trying to find and he thought about it. Julian ''Maybe they are also searching for this gate, maybe this dimension is rted to the ghost type pokemons'' He thought and continued forward. After an hour, Julian finally reached the top of the tower and he was surprised to see someone he didn''t expect to meet. A middle-aged man with long red hair tied up in a ponytail, he is wearing a tribal type of cloth while he also has pokeballs around his neck. This person is none other than the champion of the Unova region, Alder. Alder was holding a rope that is tied to a wooden log, this log seems to be used for hitting the bell to ring the bell, Alder pulled the rope and then rammed it at the bell to create a loud gong sound that covered arge area. Julian listened to the sound of the bell and felt different. Julian ''It looks like the rumors are true, this sound is very soothing'' He thought and sat down on a bench that was nearby, Alder continued hitting the bell a few more times before finally stopping, when he turned around he noticed that he has an audience, he didn''t realize that he was being watched by someone as he was fully concentrated in his task. As Alder looked at the young in front of him, a surprised expression appeared on his face and he didn''t expect to meet this young man here. Alder "Hahaha, looks like it''s my lucky day, to meet the great Julian himself" He said andughed cheerfully. Julian "Oh, you recognized me?" He was surprised, he is not wearing his usual outfit and his face is covered as well. Alder "Hahaha, of course, those eyes of yours, are the eyes of a warrior, I could recognize those eyes in a crowd among thousands, it''s not easy to find someone with such fierce eyes" He said. Julian "I see, it''s my eyes then" He said and gave it a thought, next time he will be wearing sunsses when he walks around the city so people can''t recognize him. Alder "Yes indeed, a warrior''s eye, no wonder you are so powerful, not just anyone could possess such eyes as yours" He said andughed. While Alder talks about Julian''s eyes, what he really meant was the way Julian looked at others, it was the look of someone who is at the top and doesn''t need to be bothered by others, he knew he is the best and he doesn''t need to prove it to others. Just like a Warrior. Chapter 802 - Found The Door While Julian was talking with Alder, Gengar is also having another one of his adventures, as he left Julian''s side he started to roam around the tower, he could sense the door to the dimension somewhere but he couldn''t find the exact location. So he was roaming around to find that single strand that stands out better than other so he can follow it to this door, as he floated around he saw many ghost type pokemons, there were so many ghost type pokemons here and he was surprised by the very thing ghostly aura around this tower. ?? What he also noticed that this aura is actually not because of all the dead pokemons, yes they could create a very ghostly environment but this aura was too thick, this aura was clearly from that door Gengar is looking for. After looking around the tower, Gengar finally came across a thin strand that stood out better than others and he quicklytched onto it, he soon followed the strand which led him below the tower. He was surprised by this because Gengar didn''t expect another open space below here because there seems to be no door leading down here, the walls around here are thickly covered by concrete and metal. Whoever built this tower, built it on purpose, to make sure that no humanes here, he looked around and saw that some ghost type pokemon have found their way till here but they can''t seem to get past the thing that is actually blocking them from entering. Gengar looked at the door, a spiraling portal that is made of ghostly energy but it seems like it is repealing anyone that is trying to get close to it. He saw a Haunter trying to get in but as soon it at got close, it got sted away, the Haunter was actually a strong one, it could easily take on a gym leader and it is still not on its final evolution and it is already this strong but still not able to get past this door. The reason it''s so strong is because of this aura that covers the whole tower and every ghost type pokemon here seems to be eager to get inside this door but one has to be very strong to get in. Gengar didn''t wait around and headed directly towards the spiraling door, the spiraling door tried to repel him but the force was too weak to even slow him down, he just went right through the barrier creating a hole, suddenly many ghost type pokemons followed after him when they saw the hole in the barrier. The fastest ones were able to get past the hole while the slower ones were repelled again as the hole got itself fixed in an instant. Gengar entered the spiraling door and into the dimension, as he got to the other end he was surprised by the environment in front of him, this ce is a paradise of ghost type pokemons, he could see ghost type pokemons everywhere. From very strong to quite weak ghost pokemons were roaming around here, Gengar suddenly remembered about the ghost dimension that he visited in the past, where he dealt with that Fross that was using other ghost-type pokemons to keep itself from disappearing. This dimension is simr to the one he visited before,st time he entered that dimension he was not strong enough to sense the source of that dimension but this time it is different. He could feel the source of this dimension this time, having broken through that level 100 limit was really helpful. Gengar came out of his thought process and looked around the city, this dimension is not that different from the outside world, there are buildings that seems to be inspired by things from the outside world. But the structures seem to be very old as well, they are not buildings of the modern world, they look very ancient with pointy room and walls made of stonespared to bricks that are used nowadays. Gengar is surprised, he didn''t expect to find another dimension simr to the one in the past, but this one is a little different, the aura is very strong and potent and the Ghost pokemons here are also benefiting a lotpared to the ones in the other dimension. But this all didn''t matter to Gengar, he is here to study and understand dimensions properly. If he is able to understand how this dimension was made, he will also be able to create elements and atoms to create things. Right now, his dimension is just an empty space with floating chains made form his energy, it has no beginning and no end, to create something like this he needs more and now he has the chance. Gengarnded on the solid ground and felt it, this ground had no energy in it, it means it was naturally created with atoms and molecules, not with ghostly energy, this is what Gengar is after. Gengar [Gegege, I am going to have some fun here] Heughed and walked with other pokemons to the middle of the dimension, he could sense the source of the dimension, it will take him some time but he will get there. On his way, he saw many ghost type pokemons he has never seen before, some looked like lizards while others were stones possessed by ghosts and many more. All of these pokemons were quite unique in their own way. Chapter 814 - Destroy The Intruder Julian walked down the staircase and wondered what is waiting for him on the other side. As soon as he walked down and entered the main corridor, multiple rms went off, sirens started to buzz really loud informing the grunts that an intruder has entered the headquarters. ?? The grunts who were inside the headquarters panicked and rushed towards the entrance of the headquarters to confront this intruder. The leader grunt who was enjoying his time touching a female grunt beside him got scared by the sudden burst of the rm, he fell from his chair and looked around and saw red shes going everywhere. "What? What happened, who is the intruder?" He quickly got up from the floor and rushed towards theputer and checked on the intruder, he saw a man wearing a green jacket and a mask walk into the headquarters, he then noticed a bunch of grunts quickly getting to the entrance and blocking the intruder''s path. He then pressed the button of the speaker to talk to the grunts. Leader Grunt "CAPTURE THAT IDIOT AND LOCK HIM UP, I will deal with him in a few minutes" He said and turned on the screen and looked back at the female grunt to continue to have his fun. __________________ Back at the entrance of the headquarters Julian listened to the announcement and smiled, he then watched the intruders pull out their pokeballs ready to take him down. Grunt "Quietly surrender and get on your knees and we won''t hurt you" One of the grunts said while still wary about the intruder, he was hoping that maybe the number of grunts might have intimidated this man. Julian didn''t say anything and took out a Pokeball, seeing the intruder''s action, the grunts quickly took action and sent out their pokemons to attack the intruder, a lot of pokemon came out from these pokeballs but they didn''t crowd the area as the corridor was very big. Julian also sent out his pokemon, Victini. Seeing Julian''s pokemon, the grunts suddenly felt the pressure, they realized that the pokemon they are facing is a mythical pokemon. Julian "V-Create" Julian didn''t wait around and went for the finish before the exchange even started, Victini smiled and raised its hand and did a victory sign with his fingers and mes started to gather in front of his ears. The temperature of the corridor went high in an instant causing the water sprinklers to go off but that didn''t stop the heat from expanding, the water inside the sprinkler started to boil as well while the water that came down evaporated into thin air. The grunts panicked and called out their shots, their pokemons also didn''t hesitate and sted their attacks at Victini, but their attacks were useless because Victiniunched its attack as well, a massive ming V covered the entire corridor and engulfed the other attacks and continued forward. It then hit the grunts and their pokemons and sent them sting out of the way and just like that, everything was taken care of. As the fire disappeared Julian called back Victini and looked at the devastation it caused, all the grunts and their knows are knocked outpletely so he continued forward. As he had expected the headquarters seems to be very big, he had to walk for a few minutes before he finally came near the door he was looking for, this seems to be the main office when the leader would be. He noticed that the door is shut from inside. Julian [Gengar, destroy this door] He ordered Gengar to destroy the door, Gengar came out of his shadow and used Ice Punch on the thick metal door and destroyed it with no effort. ____________________ A few minutes before the door was destroyed, the leader grunt is having some fun with his female colleague, he stripped her uniform and started to eat her pussy as she moaned. He suddenly heard a low explosion from outside and wondered what was happening. Leader "Looks like those idiots are trying to destroy the intruder, well, it works with me, I can have more fun with this pussy" He said and then started to fuck the female grunt as she moaned. Leader Grunt "Do you like it, me going so deep inside you?" Female Grunt "Yes, just like that, you are the best" She said. Leader Grunt "Good girl, if you continue pleasuring me, I will make you my personal assistant" He said while fucking her. Female Grunt "Yes, yes, fuck me like this every day, we can fuck wherever you want" She said while showing that she was really enjoying this but was she really enjoying this, or is she faking it just to get into power, all these people in Team sma are bastards and have no moral even if they are women. Maybe there are one or two brainwashed idiots but for them, power is something very attractive and if someone is willing to give it to them for something else, they will do anything for it, just like this female grunt. As they were continuing with their fucking, the door of the room was suddenly destroyed causing both of them to get scared out of their mind, they stopped fucking and fell on the ground, the female grunt screamed and covered her body with the bedsheet while the leader grunt fell on the groundpletely naked. He looked at the door and noticed a man wearing a green jacket and a mask covering his face walk into the room and looking at him with a weird expression in his eyes. Chapter 815 - Planning Something? As Julian entered the room, he was stunned by what he saw, he saw this leader grunt having sex with a female grunt while his headquarters is getting raided by an intruder. Julian ''What the fuck is wrong with this idiot?'' ?? Julian thought as he looked at the naked man on the floor and by mistake, he saw the guy''s penis. Julian ''Fuck, I need to bleach my eyes, and can he even satisfy anyone with that thing?'' Julian thought. Leader Grunt "Who...Who are you?" Julian "You don''t need to know, and put on some pants" He said with a straight face. The female grunt got up while still covering her body, she looked at Julian in horror and fainted, seeing the destruction he caused to that thick door, she had reasons to fear him, that door couldn''t be destroyed by an elite level pokemon so destroying itpletely with one hit was too much. Julian looked at the female grunt that just fainted and looked at the leader grunt again. Julian ''This guy was fucking some beautiful woman'' He thought as he saw the female grunt, she was indeed beautiful, short blond hair, blue eyes and a very fit body. Leader Grunt "Do you even know who I am?" Julian "Ya, ya, I have heard enough, put on some pants or I will beat you till your head caves in" Julian said with a cold tone which caused the Leader to feel fear that he never felt before. Leader Grunt "YES" He shouted out and quickly put on his pants and then realized that he just did that in fear, he backed of scared after seeing the intruder walk towards him but as he tried to run away, he couldn''t move his legs, he looked down and noticed two ck hands grabbing onto his legs and not letting him move even one bit. Leader Grunt "What''s going on?" He asked as fear filled his eyes. Julian "Nothing, just answer me some questions and I will not do anything to you" Julian andforted him like a very nice guy. The Leader Grunt didn''t believe him but he had no choice as well, it was clear from the start that he is not going to win, this guy came into their headquarters, destroyed all the grunts, destroyed a very thick metal door in one shot, he had no chance of escaping and he knows about it. Leader Grunt "Ok" Julian "See, you look like an intelligent person, no need to get injured at all, so let''s get started" He said and pulled a chair and sat down while the leader grunt was still standing, his legs locked up by Gengar''s hands. Julian "Why did your higher-ups promoted you into power?" Julian got straight to the point as he only had few questions, that''s it. Leader Grunt "I don''t know, they just told me I am in charge from now on and left" He said without hesitation, hearing this Julian''s eyes became cold and suddenly the Leader grunt screamed as he felt his legs being twisted. He looked down and saw chains surround his leg above his knee to stabilize him while the ck hands from the shadow started to move, rotating his legs. Leader Grunt "No, no, no, stop, stop, I will tell, I will tell, please stop" He got scared as he heard popping soundsing from his legs, Julian signaled Gengar to stop, he still hasn''t broken this guys legs, he just applied enough pressure to make his experience some pain, this pain is enough to make a professional fighter to tap out so this guy shouldn''t be able to handle it properly. Julian "I won''t give you a second chance, talk" He said with a very threatening voice. Leader Grunt "Yes, they gave me this power and told me to cause a lot of chaos in Icirrus City, they didn''t say how to do it and left the method to me, I just decided to terrorize the citizens" Julian "Why did your superiors wanted this?" Leader Grunt "They said I had to get the attention of the Elite four or the champion and make theme here" Julian "Continue, don''t leave me hanging" Leader Grunt "The superiors are nning something huge in Opelucid city and they didn''t want any interference from the Elite Four or the champions, they asked me to cause as much trouble as I can create" Julian "Well you were very close to your goal, if this had continued, the gym leader would have had to ask the Elite four or the Champion for some help" Julian said. The Leader Grunt didn''t say anything and stayed silent, it was indeed true, if he had pushed a little more, the gym leader of the city would have had no other option than to call for the Elite four or the Champion. Julian "Onest question, do you know who the real leader of Team sma is?" Julian asked. Julian knows that the leader is one of the seven sages but he didn''t know which one, from what he has learned till now, the seven sages are not that badpared to what Julian has faced, they are just very powerful influential people with too much power and very little respect for people who are below them, meaning the general poption and they don''t care what happens to them until the seven sages can profit from them. Julian realized that the seven sages are not that stupid to risk everything for just Unova, their influence is worldwide and their small action in Unova can ruin their influence if the information gets out. That is why the real leader is also hiding his identity, he needs his influence to fund the shenanigans he ising up with. Leader Grunt "Huh? The real leader of Team sma? Isn''t it supposed to be Emperor N?" He asked in confusion. Julian ''Looks like he doesn''t know about it as well'' Julian thought. Julian [Knock him out and tie up each and every one of the grunts inside the headquarters and throw them out of here] Hearing him, Gengar quickly knocked out the leader grunt and started to work on his current task. Chapter 805 - Talking To Alder Gengar was done looking into the source and decided to leave, he looked at Marshadow and saw that the little one is busy and absorbing the energy from the dimension source, he waited for a while and waited for Marshadow to finish. Once Marshadow was done, Gengar took him out of the void as Marshadow cannot get out on its own, just like how he entered, Gengar destroyed the invisible barrier that was blocking others from entering. ?? Once Marshadow and Gengar are outside, they noticed that nothing much has changed except a few ghost type pokemons talking about that terrifying presence that they felt before. Gengar giggled and headed towards the door he came from, once they reached the gate, Gengar looked at Marshadow. Gengar [Alright Kiddo, I will be leaving, if you are lucky, you will encounter my master and from what I know, he will definitely take you in and train you to be the best, but right now is not your time] Gengar said and disappeared went right through the spiraling door and didn''t look back while Marshadow just watched. Marshadow ''I need to meet Mr. Gengar''s master'' It thought and decided to go back to the crystal and absorb some more energy as it felt it was close to leveling up again, after such a long time it is about to evolve again, maintaining that perfect, purest form of energy source and taking it to its limit before finally leveling up. This is the hardest way a pokemon to train. __________________ Back to Julian, he is talking with Alder about a few stuff, he realized that Alder is actually a good person to be familiar with, he is a great person to speak to as he is very knowledgeable about a lot of stuff. Since he grew up in a tribal vige, he has experienced life better than the people who have lived in the city their entire life, Julian learned a lot about tracking pokemons. How to track for specific pokemons and how to study their pattern, this was very informative information that Julian has never received from any person or book, how to study a pokemon''s behavior, their habitat, and the food chain itself. Like, how he can find a pokemon he is looking for if he looks for a pokemon they usually prey on, how to read a pokemon habitat, and study their pattern to find the best pokemon. All this knowledge was something that impressed Julian a lot and gave him a favorable impression of Alder, they also talked about some problems that Unova faced, like Team sma. When Julian asked Alder about them, he just smiled and said he was not worried about them too much, Julian also smiled hearing Alder''s answer. He could tell that Alder was confident in his ability to take down Team sma if they try to bring catastrophe for Unova. Right now they are only focused on stealing pokemon and it seems the police and the gym leaders are able to handle this situation quite well. Julian "By the way, I wanted to ask about the leader of Team sma" Alder "What about him?" Julian "His name is N, have you ever met him?" Alder "Yes, I have, that poor boy" He said and sighed. Julian "So you met him, it looks like he doesn''t know what he is doing" Alder "Indeed, that poor boy has been brainwashed into thinking that people are bad and they are enving their pokemons" Julian "I see" This is the first time Julian heard about this. Julian ''So this is the reason why he is the leader of Team sma, he thinks he is doing the right thing'' Julian thought. Julian "How did you find out about it?" He asked. Alder "Haha, that boy came and challenged me to a battle. He said that I was the biggest obstacle in his n to liberate the pokemons from human envement, it was quite funny" Julian "I guess you won" Alder "Haha, indeed, I am the champion of Unova, if some no-name kid came out of nowhere and defeated me, it would be quite humiliating" He said andughed. Julian "I agree" Alder "I guess you also met him since you are so curious about him" Julian "Indeed, I met him in Nimbasa city, few Team sma members tried to rob the teleportation project from Professor Kukui, unlucky for them, I was there as well. I also met someone who called himself one of the Seven Sages, when I was about to capture him, N came and saved him" Alder "Seven Sages you say?" Julian "Yes" After hearing this Alder frowned. Alder "If they are really involved in this, it might be bigger than I thought" Julian "Do you know this group?" Alder "Yes, I have heard about them and they are quite influential, they have connection all over the world but I didn''t think they would be interested in stealing pokemons from normal people" He said. Julian "I also did some research on them, it would indeed be very stupid for them to do something like this, they will be harming their own image" Alder "If the Seven Sages are really involved, I will have to look into it, thank you for informing me" He thanked Julian. Julian "It''s nothing, I just thought you would find it helpful" Alder "It is indeed very helpful" As he thanked Julian, Julian noticed that Gengar has returned and entered his shadow. Julian "I should be leaving now, I need to hit the road again" Alder "Good luck on your journey, well actually I should be wishing luck to the gym leaders you are going to face, hahahahaha" Julian smiled and bid his farewell to Alder before leaving Celestial tower and hit the road again. Chapter 806 - Reaching Icirrus City Once Julian left the celestial tower he asked Gengar about his little trip. Julian [Did you find anything?] ?? He asked while Gengar was still in his shadow. Gengar [Gegege, I found the source of the dimension but it was not good enough for me, but I did learn a lot] Julian [Good, anything else?] Gengar [Ya, I also met the little Marshadow that I told you about in the past, the little one is a genius, it seems to be focusing on perfecting his source every time it levels, up, it has slowed down his growth but he is clearly very strong. If you take it under you, it will be one of your most powerful pokemons ever] Gengar said proudly. Julian [Oh, one of my best, you say?] Gengar [Yes] Julian [Too bad, my team is already set, and to find this one pokemon in a world so big is near impossible, it will depend on luck] Gengar [Gegegege] Gengarughed. Julian smiled and continued riding. Since Gengar has learned a lot from the dimension, Julian decided to let him improve his own dimension while Julian head towards Icirrus City, on his way he camped multiple times, and during these camps, the training didn''t stop. He ns to use Fraxure and Deino for his battle against the ice type gym leader, it might be a hard one, especially for Deino as he is still in his very first stage. These training camps were very hard and Julian pushed both of them beyond their limit and he would always make them battle Garchomp, every time they battled, theysted a second more in the battle against him. Well, they did work together and that is why they were able to survive for much longer, if they took on Garchomp single-handedly they would never be able to improve because they would get destroyed before they could make any progression during a battle. Garchomp didn''t go easy on them and used every possible way he can think of to attack the two because in a real battle that will happen and the attacks from a pokemon wille from a random direction. A battle needs both trainer''s input and a pokemon''s battle knowledge, a trainer is there to figure out the best way possible to win the battle while the pokemon is there to execute that move in the best way possible by figuring out on how to deal that damage effectively and from where it should attack its opponent. Julian''s Unova pokemonsck this knowledge so this real scenario training helps them learn about how to move on a battlefield and how to figure out where their opponent might attack them. ____________________ After a week of riding, Julian finally arrived at his destination, he could see the massive city in front of him, this city is home to many ice type pokemons that habitat the coldkes in the city. Julian is also interested in a few things that are around the city, such as the Dragonspiral Tower. Dragonspiral Tower is said to be the oldest structure or monument in Unova and it dates before the three dragons as well, researchers are not able to identify the age of this tower because of the special material that was used to build this structure. It has withstood the test of time for ages and is still the same it was thousand of years ago, Julian is interested in looking into this tower because legend says that the dragons were actually sealed in this tower but now its the past because Julian has seen one of them, Zekrom. If Zekrom is out, Reshiram must also be free and roaming out there,pared to Zekrom, Reshiram seems to be very idle because there have been sightings of Zekrom throughout Unova in the past while Reshiram has never shown itself, but there have been people who im that there saw the silhouette of Reshiram and nothing else. Having nned out what to do already, Julian drove towards the city wondering what the city has to offer to him. As he got closer to the city he started to notice a lot of water bodies and these bodies have a lot of pokemon on this, since it is not winter, thesekes look very lively but when winteres they freezepletely and the pokemons that depend on these water bodies move away except the ones that cannot. As they will be trapped under a thickyer of ice, Julian continued and finally entered the city, as he entered the city he noticed that a lot of people were walking around the street but what was really weird was theck of pokemons with them. People love to hang out with their pokemons and roam with them around their city and enjoy their time together but from what he is seeing, that doesn''t seem to be the case right here in Icirrus City. People are not hanging around with their pokemons, Julian continued forward and quickly stopped in front of a hotel and rented a room for himself. After showing his ID to the hotel receptionist he got a special treatment which he expected, as he was guided to his room, he decided to ask them about the current situation of the city and why are people not hanging out with their pokemon. Julian "I noticed that people are not with their pokemon and they seemed quite on edge, what is going on in the city?" He asked the person who was escorting him to his room. "Sir, it because of this organization called Team sma, over the past few months they are terrorizing the people of the city and stealing their pokemons, that is why people are afraid to take out their pokemon in the open" The person said. Hearing this Julian frowned, he didn''t expect the terror of Team sma is growing at such a rapid rate. Chapter 807 - Being Watched Julian didn''t expect Team sma to be causing so much trouble here in Icirrus city, what he is more curious is about why they are targeting Icirrus city instead of other cities, this is not the biggest city nor a city that is known for the high pokemon poption. There is no reason for Team sma to be so active here unless they are nning something here or their headquarters is near this city or in this city itself, if that is really the case, Julian might try to find them and destroy the headquarters and don''t give them any chance to cause more trouble in the future. ?? Julian "What about the police? aren''t they able to handle it?" "No, not at all, there are a lot of Team sma members in the city, they clearly outnumber and outmatch the officers, even their pokemons were snatched away" The hotel worker said. Julian "What about the gym leader? What is he doing about this matter?" "Well the gym leader is trying his best to chase away these organizations but he is just a single man, he cannot take on the whole organization,st time he got surrounded by a bunch of elite Team sma grunts and was forced into a corner. Having no choice he had to back off" He exined. Julian "I see, you can go now" Julian sent the hotel worker away and entered his room, with the knowledge of what is going on in the city, Julian decided to check it out and see what he can do, from what he heard from the hotel worker, the gym leader of Icirrus city couldn''t handle the current problem. If he continues to fail, he might call the league, if fact he might have already informed them about it and the league might be sending a member of the Elite Four to handle this situation. But he still had doubts about the Elite Four being able to handle this situation, the number game is something one cannot ovee unless there are ridiculously powerful but the Elite Four or not on that level. Even a Champion will have a hard time dealing with the number game, the league can also not afford a war and send out multiple agents because it might destroy the city if the two factions engage in a massive fight. This will then cost the league even more money to rebuild the infrastructure of the city back to how it was before it got destroyed. Julian put on a different pair of clothes after cleaning himself and headed out again, as he had seen before, the people in the city looked on edge from the constant threat of Team sma popping up and trying to steal their pokemons. Julian kept an open eye for anything suspicious but he couldn''t find anyone that looked suspicious, every person he saw just looked like a normal citizen, some worried about the city''s current situation while others were indifferent about it. Finding nothing suspicious, Julian decided to look around the city and enjoy his time here, he came across a pokemon fan club which is closed right now, Julian knows that this ce would have been buzzing with people and pokemon if the city wasn''t under the constant threat of Team sma. He walked past the pokemon fan club and found a massage parlor for his pokemons, since they were on a such a lot trip, his pokemons deserve some rest and rxation. Luckily the massage parlor is open and taking customers, as Julian headed into the parlor, the workers who werezing around were surprised to see a customer, these past few days, they have not gotten any customer because no one was willing toe here because of the fear of Team sma stealing their pokemons. Even though no one wasing to their parlor, the owner of the parlor ordered them to keep working as he didn''t want to suffer any loss, even if one customeres, that customer is bringing in money, that was the ideology of the owner. The workers were 100% sure that no one is going toe but they are surprised by seeing a customer, they looked at this customer who has his face covered, they could easily tell that this guy is not from their city and is a traveler. ''Poor guy! Looks like he doesn''t know the current situation of the city'' The workers thought but they didn''t say anything to Julian, since he is here, they might just charge him money because even they need it for their living. "Wee, how may I help you today" A worker approached Julian with a smile on his face as if nothing is going on and everything is normal, Julian smiled underneath his mask and said nothing, he knew they are here to earn money and it''s ok to be selfish for their own benefit. Julian "I want the best treatment from my pokemons" "I see, you havee to the right ce, we are the best pokemon massage parlor in the city, you have nothing to worry about" Julian "Good" He said and brought out his pokemons, it was all his Unova pokemons, after training for weeks under Julian and going through hell training, they needed relief. Seeing so many pokemons, the workers got excited because they realized that this person in front of them was a big customer and they are going to get paid a lot for the best service they provide. The workers soon escorted Julian''s pokemon into the massage room where they will be treated, Julian, on the other hand, waited in the waiting room and started to read the magazine that was ced on the table. A little distance away from the massage parlor, few people in uniform were looking through binocrs into the massage parlor. "Hehehe, an ignorant trainer, he is going to lose all this pokemons, they all seem really powerful as well" They said and started tough. Chapter 819 - Current Team Status Now that the problem in Icirrus city is gone, people have gone back to their usual self, people and pokemons are back on the streets together and enjoying each other''spany, Julian walked around the city and looked at it onest time before he goes and challenges the gym leader of Icirrus City. After taking a look around the town, Julian headed to the forest to train his pokemons for their battle, after training till nightfall, they returned back to the hotel. ?? Julian is happy with his pokemons progress, his Fraxure is just a step away from evolution, same could be said for Deino as well, both just need a little push to break through and evolve. He hopes they both will evolve after they battle the gym leader of the Icirrus gym, Julian put all his current thought aside and decided to challenge the gym tomorrow and went to sleep. The next morning he woke up around 10 AM, got ready, and headed to the Icirrus gym to challenge the gym leader, the gym is located on the northwest side of the city, when he arrived there he noticed the gym, the gym was actually built under a teau. As he got closer he noticed a man in histe twenties standing outside the gym, when the man noticed someone approaching the gym, he waited for them toe close. As Julian appeared in front of him, the man stopped him. "Sorry but the gym leader won''t be battling anyone for a few days" He said. Julian "Why?" Julian asked curiously, the problem of Team sma is already solved so the gym leader should be back to his old self and epting challenges from challengers. "The Gym leader''s pokemons are not in any shape to battle, they are suffering a lot so the gym leader has asked me to not let anyone in" Julian "Are the injuries really that serious?" "Gym leader is very strong and could have taken down the Team sma on his own for longer if he wanted to but hisst challenger was really strong, he injured gym leader''s pokemons a lot and they had to be admitted to the pokemon center. And right after that Team sma started to cause trouble as well so he had to battle them with injured pokemons" Hearing this Julian frowned, another trainer who is merciless at gym leader''s pokemons, or is it the same person. Julian "Do you know who that trainer is?" He asked. "I don''t know the name if this trainer, but this guy was quite intimidating, he wore an eye patch as well" He said remembering the image of the trainer that destroyed the gym leader''s pokemons. Hearing the details, Julian realized that this is the same person, the one who battles to hurt a pokemon to the max limit. Julian didn''t like this man and if he meets this man in person, he will show him what it feels like to feel unwanted pain. Julian then nodded his head and decided to leave, since the gym leader is not epting any challenges he didn''t want to waste his time, he returned to the forest and trained his pokemon. Once he was in the forest, he released all his pokemons and began to train them one by one, first with Darmanitan, Darmanitan has improved a lot by now, and his wish to cause an explosion has gone up even more. Since Darmanitan was so into this concept of explosion and to make things burn, Julian decided to look into it, he then found out that fire type pokemons have a very close rtion to oxygen than any other pokemons because their source is powered by it. Julian knows that fire needs oxygen to burn, and he wondered if fire pokemons to collect more oxygen for more fire to burn, after confirming his theory with System, Julian started to guide Darmanitan to collect more oxygen before he fires. At first both Julian and Darmanitan had no idea how to achieve this, he started off by taking in a massive breath and then sting the fire, this indeed increased the destruction of the fire, soon Darmanitan realized that he needs more lung power to take in more oxygen. So he started to go through underwater training, yes a fire pokemon started to do swimming, this was of course done under the careful eyes of Julian''s other pokemons. His Excadrill and Gigalith have improved a lot as well, they have kept their rivalry to themselves and are not bothering others, they constantly have mock battles to improve themselves, they know each other better than themselves, the bond they have made has be very special, Excadrill''s power is on sky-high right now. Gigalith''s power is also very equal to Excadrill but he also has ridiculous defense on his side Escavalier, his other physical powerhouse has improved leap and bounds as well and is now the second strongest in Julian''s team right after Darmanitan, these two have been friends from the very beginning and are the very first pokemons in Julian''s Unova team so they are quite close with each other as well, Escavalier''s Defense and Special Defense are also in rising making him one hell of a pokemon to take down. Archeops after his loss to Golurk also started to train a lot harder and quickly caught up to Golurk, they once again had another mock battle to the end, and this time Archeops came out victorious. Golurk was on high after winning his battle with Archeops which then became the reason for his loss against Archeops in their second battle, after his defeat Golett also started to train a lot harder. Fraxure, the one who was shy at first has now be very bold, his power is already off-limits for a pokemon on his level and after his evolution, he will be the strongest pokemon in Julian''s Unova team, even surpassing Darmanitan in pure physical damage. Deino has improved the most in Julian''s opinion as he has calmed down a lot and has gotten used to the presence of Julian''s pokemon around him, he still isn''t close to them but he doesn''t mind being around them and ying with them. And hisst pokemon Larvesta, well he is still the little Larvesta with no change in appearance, just that he has gotten a lot bigger now, his mes are even more chaotic and destructive while his speed has increased a lot, a little more and he will turn into a beautiful pokemon with ming hot wings. Chapter 809 - Something Fishy Since the Team sma grunts didn''t put up any resistance, it became easy for Julian to interrogate them, by installing the fear of being swallowed by a shadow, it was easy for him to break their mental defense very easily, this was one of the best ways to get into the mind of someone. He learned this method in his past life. When interrogating people who were hard to break. When nothing worked, they would install fear into that person, it could be any kind of fear, animals, insects, mental and psychological torture. ?? After putting that person through all those things, they would stop and do nothing and let the person recollect and recover and get back to their normal state again but the fear of that thing has already been installed into their mind. Once they get back to normal they would never want to experience it again, so when the interrogators go back to interrogate this person, they will threaten the person to do the same thing again and this will finally break that mental barrier as that person wouldn''t want to experience it again. Then they will spill out everything that is asked of them. Julian did the same thing to these grunts, and Gengar being a ghost type pokemon made it easier, Gengar installed fear into these grunts mind while he started to pull them into his dimension. And now that Julian threatened them to do that again to them, they didn''t put up any resistance. Julian "Is the Team sma headquarters here in Icirrus city?" Grunts "One of them, yes" Julian "How many headquarters are there across Unova?" Grunts "Three" Julian "Where is the headquarter here in Icirrus city?" Grunts "Near Dragon Spiral tower" Julian "Why is Team sma so active here in this city in the past few months?" Grunts "There is no leader in our headquarters and everything is being handled by high-level elite members, not the Admins, so the elite members are doing whatever they want with their new status" The Grunts said. Julian "Do you know who is the leader of Team sma?" Grunts "It''s King N" Julian finally stopped asking them questions and thought about the current matter. Julian ''It looks like the grunts also believe they work under N but I don''t know about these elite members, maybe they know something about the inner politics of Team sma, I should go and check out this headquarters. The problem the city is facing doesn''t seem to be a big deal either, just some grunts who are overusing their current status, I should take care of them'' He thought and looked at Gengar. Julian [Knock them out and drop them to the police station, here take these as well] He said and gave Gengar their pokeballs as well, these pokemons would be handed over to the police department where they can be used for good and treated properly. Gengar giggled and quickly knocked them out before they could even react, he then put them in his dimension and disappeared into the floor, and headed out. Gengar traveled to the closest police station and tossed the Team sma grunts through the police station door along with their pokeballs and disappeared in thin air. The officers who were inside the station and each and every one of them is in a gloomy mood because of the city''s current situation, suddenly three men came flying through their door and crashed on the ground. This startled all of them as they got off their chair and table and looked at the fallen men who were just thrown through their door, they realized that these men are actually Team sma grunts. Officer Jenny rushed out of her office due to the suddenmotion she heard, when she walked out she noticed three Team sma grunts on the ground knocked out cold. Jenny "Who did this?" She asked confused. Officer "I don''t know, these three came flying through the door, it was as if someone threw them inside" Jenny "Go check outside" Officer "Yes" The Officer ran out to check if there is anyone outside but he couldn''t find anyone, the street was empty, he returned back to the station. Officer "Officer Jenny, there is no one outside" He said. Jenny "Put them in the lock-up and confiscated those pokeballs, and check the cameras to see if you can find who tossed them here" She said and returned back to her office a little relieved, she has seen those grunts before and she knows they are quite the troublemakers, she is relieved that they have been finally captured, she thanked the person who sent them here in her heart. Gengar soon returned back to Julian and told him that the mission is sessful. Julian [Rest for the day, we will go and take a look at this Team sma headquarters and see what they have] Gengar giggled and went into Julian''s shadow and into his own dimension. Julian jumped on the bed and closed his eyes as he thought about the city''s current situation, he thought ofpletely destroying the headquarters because he felt that something was very fishy. Why would Team sma leave a headquarter to a bunch of elite grunts and not an Admin? At first, it seemed normal but as more Julian thought about it, the more he realized that something was off, the real leader of Team sma is not that stupid to leave a headquarters in the hands of a few grunts. Julian "I will find out when I go there" He thought and decided to take a rest and closed his eyes. Chapter 810 - Dragonspiral Tower Julian waited for a whole day and took a long rest before he headed towards the Dragonspiral Tower and find the Team sma headquarters. He headed out of his hotel and noticed that the citizens are still living in fear of Team sma, the constant fear of getting attacked and their pokemons being snatched is very horrifying to these people. ?? Pokemons have be such an important part of the human''s life that they became a family member, pokemons are not like normal animals either, they have so many emotions just like humans making them more attached to their trainers and vice versa. So people who treat their pokemons as part of a family just like their brother, sister, dad, and mom being snatched away is a horrifying experience. Julian got on his sport bike and rode out of the city towards the Dragonspiral Tower, after an hour he finally arrived in front of the Dragonspiral Tower, the tower doesn''t look like a tower but a very old castle. Multiple cylindrical buildings attached to the other while the whole structure was surrounded by water, the tower is right in the middle of a bigke. Julian checked the water and found it very clean, there was aplete food chain living inside thiske, he then looked around to find the headquarters. He already got the coordinates from those Team sma members that he sent to jail so he won''t have a hard time finding the hidden entrance. He wondered what he should do first, check out the Dragonspiral Tower or destroy the Team sma headquarters. Julian ''Well I could destroy the Team sma headquarters and then check out the Dragonspiral Tower, or I could check out the Dragonspiral Tower'' He thought for a second before finally deciding on checking out the Dragonspiral Tower. Julian ''It''s better to check out the Dragonspiral Tower before taking out the headquarters, there will be a hugemotion and a crowd would gather around here when they find out that the Team sma headquarters has been destroyed, so it would be better for me to not be seen by the people. Dragonspiral Tower it is then'' He thought and walked towards the tower, he didn''t have to fly or swim across theke because there was already a bridge connecting the tower to thend across theke, he walked through he bridge and entered the Dragonspiral tower. From the looks of it, there is not anything around the Dragonspiral tower, people don''te here even though the scenery around here is very beautiful, the perfect camping spot for people toe here and escape the fast and busy city life but they don''t. Why? Because this ce is very dangerous, people whoe here are either very powerful pokemon trainers or scientists and pokemon researchers who want to study theke''s ecosystem. Why is this ce so dangerous? because it is infested by powerful pokemons and most of them are dragon types and they all are very territorial in nature. When Julian heard about them, he was quite excited to see these pokemons and maybe battle them to train his pokemons, but as he got here he found none, he couldn''t find any trace of dominant territorial dragon pokemon. Julian wondered if Team sma captured these pokemons to use for themselves. Julian ''That could be a possibility'' He thought and entered the tower, from the inside the tower looked like an old abandoned mansion that is haunted by ghosts or something, the walls are covered with moss and there is a very weird smell in the air inside this tower. Julian looked around and found nothing that caught his interest, he wondered why this ce is so special, there are legends about this ce being the birthce of the three dragons when they separated. Other than that nothing has happened here, this tower is just an abandoned old pce, maybe in the past, people might have inhabited it or used it for asions. Julian found a spiraling stair up the tower and started to climb up, the stairway is long but Julian soon arrived on the other side, he appeared in front of a hallway that was divided into different paths, these path seems to be connected to the other cylindrical structures that were attached to it. Julian wondered if he could find anything so he decided to check on of them out and then continue up the main staircase again. He walked towards the closest path and entered the other building and found another staircase, there was nothing leading down as it was a t floor, he climbed up the staircase and reached another floor and was surprised by what he saw. A pokemon sleeping and it was a dragon type pokemon, what he didn''t expect was the aura that was being emitted from this pokemon. Clearly, a champion level pokemon just sleeping in a random room inside the Dragonspiral tower. An Altaria, a champion level pokemon, if a trainer is able to catch this one, he or she will be able to sore through the rankings and can be an elite four member. The Altaria then suddenly opened its eyes as it noticed an intruder in its territory. It then suddenly red its wings and sted a Dragon Pulse at him, Julian moved to the side and dodged the Dragon Pulse, and then sent out Garchomp to take down the Altaria. Garchomp came out of the Pokeball and took his ground, the Altaria didn''t hesitate and attacked again but Garchomp counted using Dragon w, he then charged at the Altaria and used Dual Chop. The Altaria was sent flying backward and crashed into the wall and fainted, Garchomp is now too strong, even for a champion level pokemon. What Julian was once again curious was about the wall that Altaria crashed into, with the force behind that attack, any wall would have shattered and even the toughest walls would crack but this wall stayed the same. Julian ''Maybe there is something to this tower'' Julian thought but he still couldn''t feel anything special about this tower. Chapter 811 - Beyond Champion Level Julian didn''t expect to see a Champion level wild pokemon just sleeping in a random part of the tower. Julian ''Maybe I will find some more'' ?? He thought and called Garchomp back to his Pokeball and what he thought was right, as he visited the other paths he encountered other champion level pokemons again and all of them were dragon type pokemons. Haxorus, Flygon, and others, after going through all the paths, Julian decided to head up, he didn''t expect so many powerful pokemons and that too all dragon types in the same tower. This was a surprise to him as this tower didn''t stand out at all except its history but seeing so many powerful pokemons here he wondered if the tower is really hiding something. He started to go up the tower again and finally reached the top and what he found up there was nothing, nothing but an empty roof, the floor was filled with dust and nothing else. Julian "Well that''s disappointing" He said as the only thing he could see was the vast sky, thick forest on one side, and Icirrus City on the other, he came all this way to find nothing but an empty roof filled with dust. As he was about to turn around and leave he suddenly heard a loud roar which caused him to turn around, he then saw a massive pokemon flying towards him at high speed, as the pokemon got closer, Julian saw what this pokemon was and with all his previous encounters he was not surprised by seeing another Dragon-type pokemon. And this one being a Pseudo legendary, a Smence. The Smence sted a Dragon Pulse at Julian without any warning and once again he had to dodge it just like any other encounter he had with other dragon-type pokemons. Julian ''Those rumors were true, these pokemons are really aggressive and this Smence is on a whole another level'' Julian could tell that this Smence could easily take down a champion level pokemon, he couldn''t believe the levels these pokemons were in. Julian ''How did they be so powerful?'' He thought and sent out Garchomp again. As Smence saw Garchomp its behavior became more aggressive, it is known worldwide that Smences and Garchomps don''t get along with each other, both species are known to battle for days for territory and food. They are even known to kill each other''s offspring to reduce futurepetition. Noticing the power level of the Smence, Julian expects that he wouldn''t find any Garchomps around Dragonspiral tower because this Smence would have already chased them out or killed them except if any Garchomp is closer to this Smence''s level. The Smence sted a Dragon Pulse and Julian''s Garchomp with spite and anger behind it but Garchomp destroyed the Dragon Pulse with just his bare hands. When ites to pure physical strength and power no onees close to Julian''s Garchomp. Seeing its attacks being countered in such a way the Smence got pissed and charged at Garchomp using Giga Impact, Garchomp grinned and spread his arms ready to take on the attack head-on. Smence soon mmed into Garchomp but Garchomp dug his legs into the ground, with the power he put behind his legs, even the unbreakable floor of the tower got punctured by his ws. He stood his ground and grabbed onto Smence head and grinned, the Giga Impact is indeed powerful but Garchomp wanted to show off his strength and took it head-on. Smence roared and tried to push Garchomp back but it didn''t achieve its goal, soon the power behind the Giga Impact ended and Garchomp lifted Smence with its head and mmed it hard on the ground, the whole tower shook from the pressure of that m but it didn''t break down. The Smence seems to be still conscious and this surprised Garchomp, so to end it he used Dragon m and mmed on Smence''s head knocking it outpletely. Seeing Smence was knocked out, Julian took out a Pokeball and tossed it, and captured it, the Pokeball shook three times and finally stopped, he sessfully captured a Smence that is beyond Champion level. He didn''t catch this one for himself but for Sasha, since she will be part of his Omni Guardians she would need a pokemon that could protect her in thought situations and since she is his property, her protection falls under his duty. His girlfriends don''t need any strong pokemons by their side because Julian''s Gardevoir and Flygon are with Daisy and Chloe while Cynthia is a Champion and she doesn''t need any protection, she also has her Zoroark that is stronger than a Champion level pokemon as well. Sk is a gym leader so she also has powerful pokemons by her side as well, the only person who does need protection right now is Anastasia, she is his favorite sex partner and he needs to find a way to make sure she is safe as well but for now, Sasha is his main priority. She is her very first servant and he loves how loyal she acts in front of him. He put away the Pokeball and was about to leave when he noticed something, the dust that covered the ground was blown away by the impact from Smence crashing into Garchomp revealing a massive pattern on the floor. This circr pattern looked like some ancient summoning site but Julian didn''t know the use of this thing, since he could figure it out he took some photos of it. Julian ''I don''t know what it is but maybe, some pokemon professors might know about it, I should look for Professor Juniper, she has been looking into the history of the dragons as well, maybe she knows something'' He thought and decided to leave this ce and find the Team sma headquarters. Chapter 812 - Investigate The Explosion When Julian found the hidden pattern that was covered under the dust, he started to take some photos, he then realized that this whole roof is actually an alter. Soon he found something very weird, he found four holes on the ground and these holes don''t seem to belong to this alter, these were done by someone else because there were cracks around this holes, they were clearly new and were forced into while the rest of the alter was very fluid and sharp in nature. ?? Someone was here before and something happened here. After taking some more pictures he decided to find Team sma headquarters, he gave them enough time, now he needs to find out what Team sma is really after. __________________ While Julian walked down the tower, somewhere near the tower underground, a bunch of Team sma grunts are gathered around a man who also seems to be a Team sma grunt but clearly has more influence, he is clearly the leader here. Leader Grunt "All of you, go and check out from where that sound came from and be careful to not attract any attention to the headquarters. He said and sent the grunts to find the source of the sound. Just a few minutes ago when he was having some fun all alone, he heard a massive explosion go off followed by an earthquake, it was as if someone dropped a massive bomb nearby. The earthquake made him fall off his chair scaring him to death, since he is so scared he decided to send the other grunts to do the work for him and check out what is happening outside. Leader Grunt "Ok, all of you out, go do some work" He said and walked back into his office with a big smile on his face, the power he has right now was very awesome and he is getting addicted to it. The other grunts were very pissed off but they didn''t say anything and just showed their displeasure when the leader grunt turned his back on them. Soon they left the headquarters and came above ground and looked around. Grunt 1 "I am tired of that asshole, since he got that position he has been making us do all the work" One said in displeasure. Grunt 2 "Yes, he is not even doing his own work, he is passing everything on to us, the only thing he does is flirt with girls and tries to bribe them into giving his sex" Grunt 3"Well he is sessful in getting that, I heard he has already had his way with half of the females in our headquarters" Grunt 4 "Ok, now stop talking about him, he won''t enjoy that position for much longer, when the Adminse back he will be sent back to his previous position and then we can have our sweet revenge" Grunt 5 "I am a little scared, that explosion we just heard was too big, I don''t think its safe for us to go check it out" One grunt said worried about their current mission. Grunt 6 "Yes, that earthquake was very big, the explosion was also very loud, whoever caused it might be very dangerous. I hate that bastard, sending us on such a dangerous mission while he is safe and sound inside the headquarter" Another one said showing his displeasure about their current situation. Grunt "What else can we do, he is the current boss and the admins made sure that none of us are to disobey him" He said and sighed. Grunt 2 "Let''s get this done with and head back to headquarters" They stopped their discussion and soon arrived near the Dragonspiral tower. Grunt 4 "The sound''s origin should be from here but I don''t see anyone here" One of them said as he looked around the area, there isn''t any visible damage in the surrounding or burned parts. Grunt 3 "I think, it was those pokemons that live inside the tower, they are really aggressive and scary, they might have battled each other" Grunt 5 "I think you are right, let''s just go back and report that the pokemons were just having a battle" Grunt 6 "Ya, let''s go" None of them were idiots and so they would rather make an excuse and go back to the headquarters with a story they made up on their own rather than go look deeper into the origin of the explosion. They don''t want to risk their lives for some idiot who is showing off his power and has no clue what he is doing. As they were about to leave, they suddenly noticed someone walk out of the Dragonspiral tower, they stopped and looked at this man, he is wearing a green jacket with pants and a facemask on his face. They all looked at each other andmunicated with their eyes, they realized that they should not confront him and act like idiots, they saw this man walk out of the Dragonspiral towerpletely unscathed as if nothing happened, it was very clear that he is a very strong trainer. Even their Admins werepletely destroyed when they tried to capture the pokemons that lived in the tower but now this man just casually walked out right after that massive explosion they heard. Coincidence, they think not and even if it is a coincidence they don''t want to take any chance so they tried to slowly back off without getting noticed by this man. Too bad for them Julian has his eyes on them from the very beginning. Chapter 813 - Followed All The Way As Julian walked out of the Dragonspiral tower, he noticed a bunch of people, as he turned his head to look at them he realized that they were none other than Team sma grunts. He saw them slowly backing off after noticing him, he smiled seeing this. ?? Julian ''Looks like a bunch who know what''s better for them'' He thought and crossed the bridge very quickly and got behind them, he, of course, could stop them but decided to follow them back to their headquarters and then take action as this will save him some time. He followed the grunts quietly as they led him to their headquarters, Julian had got the coordinates from the other grunts but he would still have to put some effort into finding it but now the grunts themselves are guiding him to their headquarters. Soon they arrived in front of an open grass field. Grunt 1 "Wow, that was scary, luckily that guy didn''t notice us, we would have been fucked" Grunt 3 "Indeed, who the fuck would be daring enough to go into that tower, and he came out unscathed out from it, there was no way we could have taken him down" Grunt 5 "Ya, let''s make sure, all of our stories are the same so that idiot won''t suspect us" The grunts soon discussed their stories and made sure that everyone has the same story so the idiot bossing them around won''t cause them much trouble. Grunt 1 "So let me get this right. When we arrived at the Dragonspiral tower we saw the Smence battling with the Haxorus, since the battle was very violent we all retreated" Grunt 2 "Yes, that''s it, we will stick to that, so everyone ok with it?" Grunt 3 "Yes" Grunt 4 "No problem" Grunt 5 "Fine" Grunt 6 "Good, let''s all stick with this" "But what about that Garchomp that faced of against the Smence?" They all suddenly heard this Grunt 1 "Huh? What Garchomp, I never mentioned a Garchomp, have you all forgotten what we just discussed? Suddenly the grunt realized that the voice he heard was quite foreign to him and so did the others who were with him, they all turned their head and looked at the person who just spoke and when they saw this person, they all froze on the spot as horror shed in their eyes. This was the same person who they just saw walking out of the Dragonspiral tower, the same person who made them run away because they didn''t want to confront him but now he followed them to their base and none of them noticed. He even got so close to them and even listened to their n and still, none of them noticed him until he talked. Julian "Come on, why are you all so scared, that right there is an amazing n" Julian said and smiled but none of them could see it behind the mask but they could tell he was smiling by looking in his eyes and it creeped them out. Grunt 2 "Sir what do you want, we don''t seek any trouble" Julian "Too bad, I actually came to seek some trouble with Team sma, with all that chaos you caused in Icirrus City, stealing pokemons from other people, I wanted to have some word with your leader" He said and pped his hand once. The grunts didn''t know what to say. Julian "What are you waiting for? Open the door so I can go in" He said and looked at them. The grunts looked at each other and are clearly hesitating, they are trying to figure out the pros and cons of letting this unknown person inside their headquarters, they knew that he might be strong, still not confirmed but they believe so. They thought about what this person is going to do, if this person is really strong, he will destroy the Team sma headquarters which might be something beneficial to them if they are able to escape but if this person is not strong enough and gets captured, they will be trouble because they are the one that let him into the headquarters. Julian "I don''t have much time, don''t make me get physical" Julian changed his tone and the atmosphere suddenly got very cold, this sent chills down the grunts'' spine and they felt fear swell up and their heart be heavy, they felt a sense of suffocation. Grunts "Yes, we will open it for you" They said and one of them quickly took out a remote from their pocket and pressed a button, soon a camera came out of the ground and the grunt ced his eye in front of the camera, this camera seems to be an iris scanner, soon the ground started to vibrate and slowly a tform rose up revealing the staircase below. Grunts "You can go in now" The grunts said, still scared of this man in front of them. Julian [Knock them out] Julian ordered Gengar to knock them out and it didn''t even take a second before Gengar put them to sleep, he then took all of their IDs and pokeballs and headed down the staircase to meet this new leader figure in this headquarters and ask him what is Team sma really up to. Chapter 814 - Destroy The Intruder Julian walked down the staircase and wondered what is waiting for him on the other side. As soon as he walked down and entered the main corridor, multiple rms went off, sirens started to buzz really loud informing the grunts that an intruder has entered the headquarters. ?? The grunts who were inside the headquarters panicked and rushed towards the entrance of the headquarters to confront this intruder. The leader grunt who was enjoying his time touching a female grunt beside him got scared by the sudden burst of the rm, he fell from his chair and looked around and saw red shes going everywhere. "What? What happened, who is the intruder?" He quickly got up from the floor and rushed towards theputer and checked on the intruder, he saw a man wearing a green jacket and a mask walk into the headquarters, he then noticed a bunch of grunts quickly getting to the entrance and blocking the intruder''s path. He then pressed the button of the speaker to talk to the grunts. Leader Grunt "CAPTURE THAT IDIOT AND LOCK HIM UP, I will deal with him in a few minutes" He said and turned on the screen and looked back at the female grunt to continue to have his fun. __________________ Back at the entrance of the headquarters Julian listened to the announcement and smiled, he then watched the intruders pull out their pokeballs ready to take him down. Grunt "Quietly surrender and get on your knees and we won''t hurt you" One of the grunts said while still wary about the intruder, he was hoping that maybe the number of grunts might have intimidated this man. Julian didn''t say anything and took out a Pokeball, seeing the intruder''s action, the grunts quickly took action and sent out their pokemons to attack the intruder, a lot of pokemon came out from these pokeballs but they didn''t crowd the area as the corridor was very big. Julian also sent out his pokemon, Victini. Seeing Julian''s pokemon, the grunts suddenly felt the pressure, they realized that the pokemon they are facing is a mythical pokemon. Julian "V-Create" Julian didn''t wait around and went for the finish before the exchange even started, Victini smiled and raised its hand and did a victory sign with his fingers and mes started to gather in front of his ears. The temperature of the corridor went high in an instant causing the water sprinklers to go off but that didn''t stop the heat from expanding, the water inside the sprinkler started to boil as well while the water that came down evaporated into thin air. The grunts panicked and called out their shots, their pokemons also didn''t hesitate and sted their attacks at Victini, but their attacks were useless because Victiniunched its attack as well, a massive ming V covered the entire corridor and engulfed the other attacks and continued forward. It then hit the grunts and their pokemons and sent them sting out of the way and just like that, everything was taken care of. As the fire disappeared Julian called back Victini and looked at the devastation it caused, all the grunts and their knows are knocked outpletely so he continued forward. As he had expected the headquarters seems to be very big, he had to walk for a few minutes before he finally came near the door he was looking for, this seems to be the main office when the leader would be. He noticed that the door is shut from inside. Julian [Gengar, destroy this door] He ordered Gengar to destroy the door, Gengar came out of his shadow and used Ice Punch on the thick metal door and destroyed it with no effort. ____________________ A few minutes before the door was destroyed, the leader grunt is having some fun with his female colleague, he stripped her uniform and started to eat her pussy as she moaned. He suddenly heard a low explosion from outside and wondered what was happening. Leader "Looks like those idiots are trying to destroy the intruder, well, it works with me, I can have more fun with this pussy" He said and then started to fuck the female grunt as she moaned. Leader Grunt "Do you like it, me going so deep inside you?" Female Grunt "Yes, just like that, you are the best" She said. Leader Grunt "Good girl, if you continue pleasuring me, I will make you my personal assistant" He said while fucking her. Female Grunt "Yes, yes, fuck me like this every day, we can fuck wherever you want" She said while showing that she was really enjoying this but was she really enjoying this, or is she faking it just to get into power, all these people in Team sma are bastards and have no moral even if they are women. Maybe there are one or two brainwashed idiots but for them, power is something very attractive and if someone is willing to give it to them for something else, they will do anything for it, just like this female grunt. As they were continuing with their fucking, the door of the room was suddenly destroyed causing both of them to get scared out of their mind, they stopped fucking and fell on the ground, the female grunt screamed and covered her body with the bedsheet while the leader grunt fell on the groundpletely naked. He looked at the door and noticed a man wearing a green jacket and a mask covering his face walk into the room and looking at him with a weird expression in his eyes. Chapter 815 - Planning Something? As Julian entered the room, he was stunned by what he saw, he saw this leader grunt having sex with a female grunt while his headquarters is getting raided by an intruder. Julian ''What the fuck is wrong with this idiot?'' ?? Julian thought as he looked at the naked man on the floor and by mistake, he saw the guy''s penis. Julian ''Fuck, I need to bleach my eyes, and can he even satisfy anyone with that thing?'' Julian thought. Leader Grunt "Who...Who are you?" Julian "You don''t need to know, and put on some pants" He said with a straight face. The female grunt got up while still covering her body, she looked at Julian in horror and fainted, seeing the destruction he caused to that thick door, she had reasons to fear him, that door couldn''t be destroyed by an elite level pokemon so destroying itpletely with one hit was too much. Julian looked at the female grunt that just fainted and looked at the leader grunt again. Julian ''This guy was fucking some beautiful woman'' He thought as he saw the female grunt, she was indeed beautiful, short blond hair, blue eyes and a very fit body. Leader Grunt "Do you even know who I am?" Julian "Ya, ya, I have heard enough, put on some pants or I will beat you till your head caves in" Julian said with a cold tone which caused the Leader to feel fear that he never felt before. Leader Grunt "YES" He shouted out and quickly put on his pants and then realized that he just did that in fear, he backed of scared after seeing the intruder walk towards him but as he tried to run away, he couldn''t move his legs, he looked down and noticed two ck hands grabbing onto his legs and not letting him move even one bit. Leader Grunt "What''s going on?" He asked as fear filled his eyes. Julian "Nothing, just answer me some questions and I will not do anything to you" Julian andforted him like a very nice guy. The Leader Grunt didn''t believe him but he had no choice as well, it was clear from the start that he is not going to win, this guy came into their headquarters, destroyed all the grunts, destroyed a very thick metal door in one shot, he had no chance of escaping and he knows about it. Leader Grunt "Ok" Julian "See, you look like an intelligent person, no need to get injured at all, so let''s get started" He said and pulled a chair and sat down while the leader grunt was still standing, his legs locked up by Gengar''s hands. Julian "Why did your higher-ups promoted you into power?" Julian got straight to the point as he only had few questions, that''s it. Leader Grunt "I don''t know, they just told me I am in charge from now on and left" He said without hesitation, hearing this Julian''s eyes became cold and suddenly the Leader grunt screamed as he felt his legs being twisted. He looked down and saw chains surround his leg above his knee to stabilize him while the ck hands from the shadow started to move, rotating his legs. Leader Grunt "No, no, no, stop, stop, I will tell, I will tell, please stop" He got scared as he heard popping soundsing from his legs, Julian signaled Gengar to stop, he still hasn''t broken this guys legs, he just applied enough pressure to make his experience some pain, this pain is enough to make a professional fighter to tap out so this guy shouldn''t be able to handle it properly. Julian "I won''t give you a second chance, talk" He said with a very threatening voice. Leader Grunt "Yes, they gave me this power and told me to cause a lot of chaos in Icirrus City, they didn''t say how to do it and left the method to me, I just decided to terrorize the citizens" Julian "Why did your superiors wanted this?" Leader Grunt "They said I had to get the attention of the Elite four or the champion and make theme here" Julian "Continue, don''t leave me hanging" Leader Grunt "The superiors are nning something huge in Opelucid city and they didn''t want any interference from the Elite Four or the champions, they asked me to cause as much trouble as I can create" Julian "Well you were very close to your goal, if this had continued, the gym leader would have had to ask the Elite four or the Champion for some help" Julian said. The Leader Grunt didn''t say anything and stayed silent, it was indeed true, if he had pushed a little more, the gym leader of the city would have had no other option than to call for the Elite four or the Champion. Julian "Onest question, do you know who the real leader of Team sma is?" Julian asked. Julian knows that the leader is one of the seven sages but he didn''t know which one, from what he has learned till now, the seven sages are not that badpared to what Julian has faced, they are just very powerful influential people with too much power and very little respect for people who are below them, meaning the general poption and they don''t care what happens to them until the seven sages can profit from them. Julian realized that the seven sages are not that stupid to risk everything for just Unova, their influence is worldwide and their small action in Unova can ruin their influence if the information gets out. That is why the real leader is also hiding his identity, he needs his influence to fund the shenanigans he ising up with. Leader Grunt "Huh? The real leader of Team sma? Isn''t it supposed to be Emperor N?" He asked in confusion. Julian ''Looks like he doesn''t know about it as well'' Julian thought. Julian [Knock him out and tie up each and every one of the grunts inside the headquarters and throw them out of here] Hearing him, Gengar quickly knocked out the leader grunt and started to work on his current task. Chapter 816 - Massive Hole With Julian''s order, Gengar quickly took out all the grunts from the headquarters and brought them outside, and tied them all up, Julian also walked out of the headquarters and looked around, just as he had instructed, the grunts were put some distance away from the headquarters'' space. Once everyone was thrown out, Julian gave the final order. ?? Julian "Destroy it" As soon as Julian''s said those words, the ground started to shake and dust blew out of the entrance followed by hot mes with massive boulders, Julian quickly isted the st into a closed area so that it won''t damage the surrounding. The ground above the headquarter started to shatter as bursts of mes came out of it, the ground thenpletely shattered and a massive mushroom of fire rose up, this caused a massive earthquake which traveled to Icirrus city as well. People who were living in the city panicked and quickly took shelter to protect themselves from the earthquake but it soon calmed down. All of them got off their position and looked outside to see the damage done by the earthquake and saw somethingpletely different from their expectation, they saw a massive ck cloud rising high in the sky. ''An explosion'' They all thought and it was also clear that it happened near Dragonspiral tower, the police also noticed this and quickly gathered up to leave and check out the explosion. ______________________ Back to Julian, he looked at the massive hole on the ground Gengar has left behind, the headquarters was indeed very big and it went very deep as well and now only rubbles are left behind. Julian was not into senseless destruction but he wanted to warn Team sma and indirectly telling them to stop whatever they are up to, the amount of destruction that Gengar has caused is massive and whoever sees this should be scared out of their lives. If Team sma doesn''t take this message they are idiots or they are just overconfident in their ability or whatever they are nning. Julian "Let''s go" Julian said and walked away as a ck silhouette went into his shadow and Julian disappeared into the woods, he got what he came for, soon the police will arrive and arrest every Team sma member and put them in jail. ______________________ As Julian had expected the police soon arrived at the location of the explosion, when they arrived there they were shocked by what they saw, a massive number of Team sma members tied up, some of them are knocked out cold while others are trying to struggle and get out of those ropes that have their hands and legs bound. No matter how hard they tried they couldn''t free themselves, soon their hopes were lost as they heard sirens, they looked in the direction of the sound and saw multiple police carsing towards them. Officer Jenny got off her bike and looked at the Team sma grunts, more than a hundred of them, all beaten up and tied against each other. Jenny "Who did this?" She questioned and looked around, she finally came in front of the massive hole on the ground, she looked down the hole and her eyes constricted as it was very deep. If her legs slip and she falls down, she might die. She then noticed a familiar face tied up half-naked,st time she saw this man he wasmanding the Team sma grunts. She walked towards him and asked her colleague for some water, she then poured it on top of the man''s face and forced him to wake up, the leader grunt took a deep breath and woke up as he coughed to remove the water that just entered his throat. Leader Grunt "*CHOUG* WHAT THE FUCK" He shouted and looked at Officer Jenny, he was suddenly stunned and remembered what just happened a few minutes ago. Leader "How did I get here?" He said and looked around and when he saw the massive hole on the ground, that was previously their headquarters, his face turned white from fright. Jenny "Hey, who did this to you guys?" She asked him while looking at him with disgust, she clearly remembered this guy, he tried to force himself on her when she lost a battle against him when the Team sma attacked the city. If it was not for the gym leader of the city, he might have had his way with her. Leader Grunt "Some guy in green jacket and mask walked in and did this, you have to arrest him" He said. Jenny didn''t say anything and signaled her men to bring all of them away, since they have limited vehicles, they had to call multiple vans to transfer all of them to prison. Jenny didn''t know who was this person, but she thanked him from her heart, with this Icirrus city will go back to how it was and the police will have some free time for themselves as well. _____________________ Soon the news about Team sma being captured and their base destroyed was spread all across the city and this took the people by surprise, they also realized that explosion and earthquake they felt was actually from someone destroying Team sma headquarters. They all praised their person for doing this, they didn''t know who it was but they all were really happy, Team sma has been causing so much trouble in the past few months and it was getting very depressing and this made the people fear them a lot. Now that they have been eliminated, the fear in their mind disappeared and they all took a breath of relief. This was great news and people decided to celebrate this event. Chapter 817 - A Little Scared Julian returned back to his hotel room and sat down on his bed and took out his phone to check out the photos that he clicked of the alter on top of the Dragonspiral tower. He looked at the patterns and nothing came to his mind and just gave up, he knows he won''t get anywhere if he just keeps staring at them, he decided to call an expert and look into this. ?? He quickly called Professor Juniper, she told him that she was looking into the dragons and their history as her side job and she seems to know a lot about them. Professor Juniper soon picked up her phone and answered the call. Juniper "Hello? Who is this?" Julian "Professor Juniper, it''s me, Julian, I wanted to show you something?" Juniper "Ah, Mr. Julian, what is it that you want to show me?" Julian "It''s about the Dragonspiral tower" Juniper "Don''t tell me you went there right? No one has been able to climb the tower, the pokemons that live inside are very powerful" Julian "Do you know why they are so strong?" Juniper "No Idea, my team wanted to investigate this but the danger was too high to take that risk" Julian "I see, well I did climb the tower and I found some interesting pattern on top of the tower, I thought maybe you could help me by looking into them" Juniper "What? Did you found patterns? What kind of patterns?" She asked excitedly. Julian "I don''t know what kind of patterns but they look very old, since I don''t know anything about it, I thought of you, you said you were looking into the legendary dragons and I think this is rted to them. Maybe you can find something in them" He said. Juniper "Yes, can you send me the pictures?'' She asked. Julian "Sure I will send them to you, hope you will reach out as soon as possible" He said. Juniper "Don''t worry about it, as soon as I find something I will inform you" Julian "Thankyou" He said and ended the call and quickly sent the photos to Professor Juniper. _____________________ While Julian finished his talk with Juniper, inside the Icirrus gym, the gym leader of this gym, Brycen was sitting next to his pokemon which is on the bed, badly injured. His pokemons took a lot of damage during his confrontation against the Team sma members, they ganged up on him and utterly destroyed his pokemons, and he had no choice to take his pokemons and retreat. The gym is safe for now and is protected by several security systems so that Team sma cannot enter the vicinity. He looked at his injured pokemons and gritted his teeth, he had called the league and informed them about the chaos that Team sma is creating here in Icirrus city but the league couldn''t do anything about it right now. The league knew that Team sma is nning something and if they send their Elite Fours to deal with Team sma, it might not be a good move for the league, they would fall right into Team sma''s n. But if this continues, they will have to do it, they couldn''t just abandon a massive city like Icirrus just like that. Brycen felt frustrated because of how useless he felt right now, he was the protector of this city and he couldn''t protect it from the thugs that want to take over. He med the league for it, if they had not ignored Team sma, they wouldn''t have be so powerful, powerful enough to take down a gym leader, well they don''t have trainers as strong as Brycen but they have numbers and a lot of them with multiple pokemons on their side. "Sir Brycen, Sir Brycen, something big happened" A person ran into the room shouting at Brycen. Brycen "What? Did Team sma break in?'' He asked while hoping its not the truth. "No, Team sma, they got destroyed by some unknown person, he also destroyed their headquarterspletely leaving just a massive hole on the ground and nothing else" He said with excitement filled his voice. Brycen "What? Who did it?" "I don''t know, the police have no idea, the leader of the group said someone wearing a green jacket and a mask arrived and defeated all of them" Brycen "So they are all arrested?" "Yes, hundreds of Team sma members have been sent to the prison" Brycen "I see, you can go" He said and looked back at his pokemon. Brycen "I don''t know who you are but thank you very much" He murmured and took a long breath of relief. ____________________ Somewhere else in Unova, inside an underground base, Ghetsis looked at the tablet in his hand, he was clearly pissed, his hands are shaking from anger. He got so angry that he crushed the tablet in his hand, causing the ss to shatter and puncture his hand, blood started to drip down his hand, through his arm, and fall from the point of his elbow to the ground. Ghetsis "Who is this person?" He asked. "I don''t know sir, the identity of this person is unknown, the only thing that is known about him is that he was wearing a green jacket and a mask" Someone said from the darkness of the shadow. Ghetsis who was sitting on his throne frowned as he heard this, he once again remembered theplete eradication of the headquarters and felt a little scared. "Hehehe, hohoho, look at this destruction, hahaha, Ghetsis, hahaha, you are so fucked, hahaha" Ghetsis suddenly heard someoneugh, he clicked his tongue and looked at this person. This person is wearing a very fat purple coat, and a massive hat on top of his head, this person is none other than Zinzolin. Chapter 818 - Find Something Or Someone Zinzolin is still sticking with Ghetsis as Ghetsis has promised him a lot of money, money enough for even Zinzolin to think twice. Zinzolinughed and looked at the tablet in his hand, he looked at the massive hole on the ground that used to be one of the Team sma headquarters. ?? Zinzolin "You know Ghetsis, you should just give up, this person is clearly sending a message, look at what he can do to an underground headquarters that should have been able to survive a nuclear attack but now it is nothing but a massive hole. Just ept it, not even your best pokemon can pull this off. Even if you bring an army of pokemon, they can''t achieve that" He said and continued to giggle while looking at the massive hole on the ground through the tablet. Ghetsis just frowned and clicked his tongue, he hated Zinzolin for saying those words but he didn''t find anything wrong about them, she saw the destruction, only a very powerful legendary pokemon can cause such damage. Ghetsis "Who can even do this? Does he has some kind of rtionship with the League?" He asked himself but Zinzolin heard him. Zinzolin "You know, now that I think about it, I think I know who could achieve this" He said with a smile. Ghetsis "Who?" Zinzolin "Who could it be other than the Champion Julian, he is clearly stronger than any champion and he destroyed by pokemon under a second, I don''t think there is anyone else in Unova right now who is as strong as him" Ghetsis "That guy again? What is his problem with Team sma, can''t he just leave us alone" Ghetsis was really paranoid right now. Zinzolin "Hehe, Ghetsis, unlike people like us who have no morals, we will never understand people with morals, this Julian is a person with morals and whenever these two types of people or ideologies collide, there will be a fight. Your only option right now is to postpone your n and wait for this threat to go away, from what I learned, he will participate in the Unova league and leave, then you can continue with your n" Ghetsis "NO, I cannot do that, I don''t have time, the League is on Team sma''s ass and N is not showing much promise as well, and that fucker Giovanni is also trying to cause a lot of trouble for me in the underworld" He said and mmed the arm of the chair he was sitting on. Zinzolin "Well then you have to find something or someone that could help you stop this Julian" He said and giggled and he did have no hope for Ghetsis, he had experienced the power of Julian beforehand, he got really lucky and escaped that day and even if he did get caught, he had enough money and influence to get out of that trouble. But what Ghetsis is getting into is something even bigger, if he makes a mistake, his life is over, Zinzolin also started to think of his own n, if things go against Ghetsis n, he will already have another way to escape from the consequence. Ghetsis "Just a little more and I will have the power to deal with this fellow, N is very close to it, I need to find a way to boost his progress" Ghetsis said and got off his chair and walked away while picking up his phone and calling someone, the person who was in the shadow also followed right behind him leaving Zinzolin behind. Zinzolin smiled as he saw how frustrated Ghetsis was, he didn''t understand Ghetsis, why take all this risk when he has everything, power, money, women, he can have it all but he still wanted more. Of course, have more is indeed a very good option for Zinzolin as well but he was never stupid enough to pursue it on his own, he knows his limits. Not just him, even the other five sages know how stupid it is to pursue more than they have, this will just attract unwanted attention towards them, they may be massive figures and have a lot of influence but even they wouldn''t want to mess with people in the underworld. Those people are really scary, Zinzolin knows a lot about them and he believes that if there is anyone that can stop Julian, those are the main people in the underworld. The world doesn''t know their power but he knows, the Seven Sages knows, Ghetsis knows and if Ghetsis wants to win against Julian, he needs to call one of them, too bad Ghetsis is nothing in front of their eyes. Zinzolin "Hopes he finds someone that could help him, or all that money would go drown the drain and that will be a massive loss" He said and giggled __________________ Back at Icirrus city, inside the hotel room where Julian is staying, he is currently looking at the TV screen as the news channels in Unova informed about the destruction of Team sma headquarters. Questions were asked about who did this as well and many spections appeared, some said that it was the Champion of Unova, others said it must be some kind of legendary pokemons, and Julian''s fan said its Julian because they believe he can even kill god if he wanted to. He has very supportive fans but they are too supportive and super toxic in their ways, you could find them anywhere, even inment sections of videos that have nothing rted to Julian. It''s like they have created a cult and are recruiting people from all over the world to worship Julian. Julian "I should really cover my whole face while going out next time" He said and decided to buy some sunsses and a bunch of caps. Chapter 819 - Current Team Status Now that the problem in Icirrus city is gone, people have gone back to their usual self, people and pokemons are back on the streets together and enjoying each other''spany, Julian walked around the city and looked at it onest time before he goes and challenges the gym leader of Icirrus City. After taking a look around the town, Julian headed to the forest to train his pokemons for their battle, after training till nightfall, they returned back to the hotel. ?? Julian is happy with his pokemons progress, his Fraxure is just a step away from evolution, same could be said for Deino as well, both just need a little push to break through and evolve. He hopes they both will evolve after they battle the gym leader of the Icirrus gym, Julian put all his current thought aside and decided to challenge the gym tomorrow and went to sleep. The next morning he woke up around 10 AM, got ready, and headed to the Icirrus gym to challenge the gym leader, the gym is located on the northwest side of the city, when he arrived there he noticed the gym, the gym was actually built under a teau. As he got closer he noticed a man in histe twenties standing outside the gym, when the man noticed someone approaching the gym, he waited for them toe close. As Julian appeared in front of him, the man stopped him. "Sorry but the gym leader won''t be battling anyone for a few days" He said. Julian "Why?" Julian asked curiously, the problem of Team sma is already solved so the gym leader should be back to his old self and epting challenges from challengers. "The Gym leader''s pokemons are not in any shape to battle, they are suffering a lot so the gym leader has asked me to not let anyone in" Julian "Are the injuries really that serious?" "Gym leader is very strong and could have taken down the Team sma on his own for longer if he wanted to but hisst challenger was really strong, he injured gym leader''s pokemons a lot and they had to be admitted to the pokemon center. And right after that Team sma started to cause trouble as well so he had to battle them with injured pokemons" Hearing this Julian frowned, another trainer who is merciless at gym leader''s pokemons, or is it the same person. Julian "Do you know who that trainer is?" He asked. "I don''t know the name if this trainer, but this guy was quite intimidating, he wore an eye patch as well" He said remembering the image of the trainer that destroyed the gym leader''s pokemons. Hearing the details, Julian realized that this is the same person, the one who battles to hurt a pokemon to the max limit. Julian didn''t like this man and if he meets this man in person, he will show him what it feels like to feel unwanted pain. Julian then nodded his head and decided to leave, since the gym leader is not epting any challenges he didn''t want to waste his time, he returned to the forest and trained his pokemon. Once he was in the forest, he released all his pokemons and began to train them one by one, first with Darmanitan, Darmanitan has improved a lot by now, and his wish to cause an explosion has gone up even more. Since Darmanitan was so into this concept of explosion and to make things burn, Julian decided to look into it, he then found out that fire type pokemons have a very close rtion to oxygen than any other pokemons because their source is powered by it. Julian knows that fire needs oxygen to burn, and he wondered if fire pokemons to collect more oxygen for more fire to burn, after confirming his theory with System, Julian started to guide Darmanitan to collect more oxygen before he fires. At first both Julian and Darmanitan had no idea how to achieve this, he started off by taking in a massive breath and then sting the fire, this indeed increased the destruction of the fire, soon Darmanitan realized that he needs more lung power to take in more oxygen. So he started to go through underwater training, yes a fire pokemon started to do swimming, this was of course done under the careful eyes of Julian''s other pokemons. His Excadrill and Gigalith have improved a lot as well, they have kept their rivalry to themselves and are not bothering others, they constantly have mock battles to improve themselves, they know each other better than themselves, the bond they have made has be very special, Excadrill''s power is on sky-high right now. Gigalith''s power is also very equal to Excadrill but he also has ridiculous defense on his side Escavalier, his other physical powerhouse has improved leap and bounds as well and is now the second strongest in Julian''s team right after Darmanitan, these two have been friends from the very beginning and are the very first pokemons in Julian''s Unova team so they are quite close with each other as well, Escavalier''s Defense and Special Defense are also in rising making him one hell of a pokemon to take down. Archeops after his loss to Golurk also started to train a lot harder and quickly caught up to Golurk, they once again had another mock battle to the end, and this time Archeops came out victorious. Golurk was on high after winning his battle with Archeops which then became the reason for his loss against Archeops in their second battle, after his defeat Golett also started to train a lot harder. Fraxure, the one who was shy at first has now be very bold, his power is already off-limits for a pokemon on his level and after his evolution, he will be the strongest pokemon in Julian''s Unova team, even surpassing Darmanitan in pure physical damage. Deino has improved the most in Julian''s opinion as he has calmed down a lot and has gotten used to the presence of Julian''s pokemon around him, he still isn''t close to them but he doesn''t mind being around them and ying with them. And hisst pokemon Larvesta, well he is still the little Larvesta with no change in appearance, just that he has gotten a lot bigger now, his mes are even more chaotic and destructive while his speed has increased a lot, a little more and he will turn into a beautiful pokemon with ming hot wings. Chapter 820 - Problematic Evolution Since taking on the gym was no longer an option right now, Julian focused on training more, he called Deino and Fraxure and asked them to have a mock battle as that was the only thing they could do. They are at their physical peak and even if they level up and grow stronger, there would not be much difference, yes they will be stronger but there will be no massive gains in the process. ?? Right now Julian''s main focus for them is to evolve, he isn''t worried about Fraxure but Deino''s evolution is bothering him, not because that he cannot evolve but because of what he can be after evolving. Their mock battle continued and things were going on as Julian expected but suddenly something happened, Deino started to glow and grow bigger. Julian "He is evolving" He said and watched Deino evolve, the light covered the forest as Julian''s other pokemons watched curiously, soon Deino''s head which was covered with light started to be bigger then split turning into two heads. Once the light disappeared Zweilous was there, standing with two heads, still blind like before but now his senses are even higher due to two heads. The two heads moved around and suddenly bumped into each other startling himself, one head sensed something very familiar but yet different at the same time, the same could be said for the other head as well. The first few minutes were waves of confusion for Zweilous as he couldn''t figure out what was happening, soon he realized that he knows has two heads and two separate thinking, well to be exact one head thinks that it is the main head while the other head is just nuisance. Julian approached Zweilous and looked at him, he didn''t expect Deino would evolve now, this made it harder for him now, he still hasn''t challenged the Icirrus gym, and battling the gym now after Deino evolved to Zweilous would be even harder. He will have to work from the first step to quickly make sure that Zweilous figures out which head is the most dominant one. The thing is even Julian can''t choose for them, both heads are equally intelligent and equally powerful, it will depend on time and their constant shes on who will be the main head and who will disappear. The first day was not that bad and Julian made sure to keep an eye on them, but on the second day the problem started, the two heads first couldn''t figure out which way to go, the left head wanted to go one way and the right head wanted to go the other way, because of this they started their first fight. They bit each other and tried to win over the other, Julian just watched as this is the natural process, if things go bad then he will step in. They bit each other and growled at each other, trying to get an upper head on the other head, as the fight started to get even more aggressive, Julian had to step in and stop them, once they heard Julian''s voice both heads stopped and turned towards him. Julian sighed and checked them to see if they have any wounds or cuts and he found them, Zweilous is at a level where he could crush stones inside his mouth, of course, there will be cuts after the two heads bit each other. He took out some bandages and ointment and applied on their wounds, luckily these things work very fast and pokemons heal very fast as well so these cuts and wounds would heal before they start their fight again. Another fight broke between the two heads again and this time it was for food, which head would get to eat more, the thing is, it didn''t matter which head eats more, as all of it goes into the same stomach but this helps them in asserting their dominance over the other head. Julian learned more about the heads of Zweilous, he found out that the evolution into further stage doesn''t depend on the physical strength of the head but the mental one. During all those fights that the two heads have, one will soon start to hate the constant fighting, one head would find it unnecessary to fight the other head which would make it more submissive than the other head, and with one head continuously avoiding fights further down the line, the dominant head would start to be more dominant in nature and will be the real leader of the body. And when they reach the level where they will further evolve into Hydreigon, the dominant head will be the main head while the submissive head will split into two unconscious heads that will act like arms. This sound really messed up and it is, the submissive head will be gone for good and it will never know what happened, it will just fade away, its memories and experience will all be absorbed by the dominant head bing even more intelligent than before. But this is the nature of this pokemon and this is how they have done it through ages. Julian felt a little weird after learning all this, he looked at Zweilous who are/is eating his food, after that he sighed. The head that will be the submissive one doesn''t have to know that it will disappear, if it finds out, it will try its best to fight back and things can turn up very bad, Julian decided to stay silent on this matter, he also made sure to be extra attentive on Zweilous during this time. His main focus will be to level up Zweilous fast so that things move swiftly and he wouldn''t have to worry about one head hurting the other. Chapter 821 - Hardest Challenge While Julian continued reading, Zweilous almost finished eating his food, the only thing left was thest piece of mean on the bowl, the two heads started to fight again while also trying to sneak in and eat the meat. After five minutes of fighting one head sneaked in and grabbed the meat and gobbled it up. ?? Julian once again had to remove the old bandage, clean the wounds, apply ointment, rebandage Zweilous and let him rest for the day. Julian returned back to his hotel room to rest, another day arrived and another day of him trying to make sure his Zweilous doesn''t kill himself. Luckily for him, this process won''tst long, Zweilous will be able to figure out which head will be dominant and which head will be submissive. The first three days were the hardest day Julian has ever had in his life while taking care of his pokemon, Zweilous has been fighting his own heads back and forth throughout the day. The amount of cuts and wounds that Julian has treated is too much for even him, he haspletely lost count, after three days, things calm down and Julian could already see one heading out more dominant than the other and this will continue down the path. Now that things have calmed down, Julian decided to start their training again, now that Zweilous has two heads Julian has toe up with a new way for him to battle, both heads can still hear Julian''s voice clearly, the distinct sound that he makes, the ps, the whistles, all these different sounds. Zweilous understood then very well but now the biggest trouble is how to make sure that the right head attacks properly and the wrong head doesn''t make unnecessary attacks that will harm his own pokemon. He had to treat this like a double battle but both his pokemons are moving in the same pattern, Julian has toe up with a rhythm for them, a rhythm from which they can figure out who should attack and who should defend. Julian with the help of the system quickly came up with a way to train Zweilous this new method of training. Julian ''This is really hard'' He thought as he continued to impart this knowledge in Zweilous, he could have gone for any other pokemon but he chose Zweilous, he didn''t think it would be this hard. He wanted a strong pokemon on his team that would be the perfect allrounder and Hydreigon is the perfect all-rounder pokemon because of its pseudo legendary stats, it has very good stats all across the field making it really useful in any kind of battle. But training Zweilous was a lot harder than he expected, he has put more effort into training Deino and now Zweilous than even Infernape, he was being tested to a very new level. Training a pokemon that would have random suicide attempts, very bad temper, aggressive behavior, not very friendly, and many more unwanted traits that a trainer would never want in their pokemon, but Julian had to handle them all. Because the end result is all worth it, a very powerful all-rounder pokemon that could rival legendaries, Julian also found himself getting very close to Zweilous as well, with constant caring he gave to Zweilous he grew attached to the 1.6 meters tall monster of a pokemon. The training started to go well as well, with two brains working together, Zweilous started to figure out the new battle method that Julian hase up with. Soon a week passed and Zweilous has calmed down a lot but fights still break out between the two heads especially when ites to food and who will have thest bite of the food. Julian took this as a challenge for himself, as a pokemon trainer, and see his own limit, if he can train the perfect Hydreigon ______________________ The day has finallye, Julian''s time to challenge the gym leader of Icirrus gym, he heard that the gym leader is back to epting challenges from trainers and it seems trainers are already gathering up outside his gym to challenge him. With nothing else to be done, Julian headed towards the gym, on his way he looked around the city and found it to be just like any other normal city, no one would believe that this city was terrorized a week ago by a bunch of goons in uniform. He soon arrived at the gym and found himself lucked out, there are no trainers outside, it seems he is the only one here, he quickly walked up towards the entrance and saw the same man who told him about the gym leader''s pokemons being injured. "Oh, trainer, you are back, you can go in this time" He said as he recognized the man in the yellow jacket and mask, he came here a week ago and is now back again. Julian thanked him and walked into the gym, and as he expected this is clearly an ice gym. A massive battlefield is right there in the middle and the battlefield is covered with hard Ice that is glistening under the white light from the ceiling. Julian walked down the stairs and finally met the gym leader of this gym, a man wearing a half blue robe, his hair tied up into a braid which goes up and he is also wearing a blue mask, not like the one Julian is wearing, a mask that would rather be worn by a vignte with eye holes. Chapter 822 - For The Seventh Badge This monk looking person wearing a vignte mask standing in front of Julian is the gym leader of Icirrus gym, Brycen. He is a very strong pokemon trainer and if not for the past circumstance he would have had been able to handle the problem that was brought by Team sma. ?? Brycen "Wee challenger, sorry for the inconvenience, you had to wait for so long" He said and apologized to Julian, well he apologized to every trainer that came to him after the gym reopened, he takes his job as a gym leader very seriously, and taking such a long leave was not his way of doing his job. So he apologized to every trainer then came to challenge him. Julian "No problem, the extra time really helped me as well" He said and he is not lying. If he had battled Brycen before, his Deino would have evolved and with how Zweilous would have acted, he would have lost that exchange and he had no doubt about it, the trouble Julian had to go through to straighten up. His Zweilous would have been destroyed on the battlefield even with Julian behind him because the two heads would have caused trouble for the other dragging Zweilous down. Julian is thankful to Brycen for not taking challengers, even though he doesn''t show it or tell it to anyone, he likes his record of being the undefeated trainer than he is, the only person who has never lost a single exchange in his life, the closest thing that people havee to defeating him is a draw in one round. And that draw might never repeat itself ever again but Julian is much more of a trainer now than he was in his early days, with the knowledge that Julian has right now, he could easily defeat his past self easily. He knows this because he has held many simtions of the current him battling his old self, the one during Kanto. When he was in Hoenn. When he was in Sinnoh. With every regionter down the line in his journey, his past self was harder to defeat, this showed that he also has been improving as well, with new pokemonse new method to teach them. He sees and learns new behavior of pokemons, their mentality, their taste, all these new experience helped him understand pokemons more than ever before, he wondered if pokemons are really that different from humans. Some pokemons are so intelligent that they surpass human intelligence, they feel all emotions that humans feel, and they had powers, the only reasons human has survived in this world for such a long time is because of their ability to use tools, this is the biggest cheat that any animal could have. And with this ability and human''s intelligence, they dominated and outlived most animals that started with them, soon they domesticated some animals and helped them to survive in this world that they cannot survive, they befriended these pokemons and advanced even further. Soon these pokemons became part of human lives, joined their wars, battled against each other, and many more, now things are a lot peaceful and Julian likes it, so he will step in to stop unnecessary fights so that this world doesn''t go through another war ever again. __________________ Back inside the gym. Brycen "But I would still like to apologize" He said and bowed down while joining his hands. Julian "I appreciate the gesture" Julian said. Since Brycen is so sincere in his apologies he had to ept it. Brycen "I won''t waste your time anymore, let''s battle" Julian "Yes, let''s do that" Julian agreed and took his spot on the battlefield and waited for Brycen to take his ce on the battlefield as well, Brycen soon stood up on the other side of the ice-covered battlefield, the battlefield in front of Julian is huge and the ice on top of the battlefield is very smooth. A pokemon that has smooth feet will have a very hard time battling on this battlefield. Julian looked at his current situation and decided to start with Fraxure as his ws could dig into the ice and grip the battlefield. But he waited for Brycen to make his choice first, soon a man walked in and took the position of the referee. The referee then started to introduce the rules of the battle and then confirmed if both trainers are ready to go, once he got the confirmation he started the battle. Brycen started off and sent out his first pokemon for this battle, his Cryogonal. With his choice very clear, Julian also made him and stuck to his choice and sent out Fraxure to the battlefield. Fraxure took the stage and found himself on top of slippery ice, as he was about to slip, he used his ws and punctured through the ice and bnced himself, he used his tail and pped on the ice field as well causing cracks to spread across the field to make the surface around him rougher for more grip. Fraxure finished setting up the battlefield for himself and is now ready for his opponent. Brycen looked at how his opponent''s Fraxure changed the battlefield for its own good, he knew that this would be a very tough battle. Referee "You may start the battle" The referee waved his gs and started the battle. Chapter 823 - Julian Vs Brycen (1) Brycen decided to start the battle and attacked without giving Julian any more time. Brycen "Cryogonal, use Ice Beam" ?? Cryogonal is a very good Special Attacker and Brycen used this and started off strong, but Cryogonal''s best stat is not his Special Attack but Special Defense. This worked in Julian''s favor, his Fraxure is a powerhouse and Cryogonal is not good at handling physical hits, even with the type advantage that Cryogonal has it cannot survive a good hit from Fraxure. Julian "Counter with Iron Tail" As Cryogonal sted an Ice Beam at Fraxure, he turned around and swung his tail at the beam, the tail got surrounded by a thick aura of shining light which represented the steel energy. The Iron Tail smashed into the Ice Beam and caused a shock wave to pass through the battlefield while cracking the surface of the battlefield even further, this battle''s scale is way higher than Brycen expected. After the collision of the two attacks, ice shards flew everywhere because of the impact, the Ice Beam was destroyed by the massive force behind that Iron Tail. Some of themnded on Fraxure but they did no damage as they were just broken shards and his scales protected him, the rest just flew away and dug into the ground or crashed into the wall and shattered. Brycen "Another Ice Beam" Brycen stuck to Ice Beam as he knows his opponent cannot just stand his ground and take and counter these Ice Beams, soon they will start to take effect, the temperature of these Ice Beams are severely below freezing temperature and that is why they are able to freeze things up so fast. If these Ice Beams continues tond even if they are countered physically, they will have an effect on the opponent, since Fraxure is a warm-blooded pokemon and he is already weak to Ice-type attacks, the effect will build up and Fraxure will start to feel stiff and sour. Julian "Use, Giga Impact" Fraxure roared and charged right through the Ice Beam, the Giga Impact acted as a barrier and stopped the Ice Beam from touching Fraxure, seeing that Fraxure was not stopping, Brycen asked his Cryogonal to dodge it. Cryogonal dodged the Giga Impact easily by moving to the side. Brycen "Now, use Ice Beam again" Cryogonal shot another Ice Beam and this time it hit Fraxure because he couldn''t move due to the Giga Impact''s side effect. The Ice Beam hit him and ice started to cover his scales as Fraxure was frozen on spot. Brycen "Don''t wait, use Icicle Spear" Cryogonal created multiple spears made of Ice and shot them at Fraxure. Julian "Break them" Fraxure who was frozen on the spot shook his body with all his strength and shattered the ice around his body, he then used Iron Tail and destroyed those Ice spears with ease. Julian "Dragon Pulse" As the ice spears were shattered, Julian didn''t give Brycen any time to recall and attacked, since Cryogonal was so close to Fraxure when it attacked, the Dragon Pulse was a surprise to it, the power behind this attack might not be very strong but it was enough for Julian. The Dragon Pulsended right on Cryogonal''s face causing short blindness, enough for Julian to capitalize. Julian "Let''s get this over with, Iron Tail" Fraxure quickly closed up the distance between him and Cryogonal andnded the hit on its face again, this time Cryogonal was sent flying backward and crashed on the shattered ice field knocked out. The first exchange ended just like that, Brycen was surprised by this, he didn''t expect the battle would be over so fast, he thought he got some good hits but he realized that the Giga Impact was not his opponent attacking his Cryogonal but was a trap set up by his opponent and he fell right into it. Julian used Giga Impact to first counter the Ice Beam and once Fraxure was frozen, Brycen did what any trainer would do, that is to take advantage of the situation and attack, what he didn''t expect was his opponent''s pokemon to tank it all. Once Fraxure started to move it was toote to create some distance between the two pokemon and then he saw what happened, his Cryogonal got destroyed. He called back his Cryogonal and thanked it for its hard work and sent out his next pokemon. Vanilluxe, since his Cryogonal was taken down so easily he decided to go with Vanilluxe who is an all-rounder in his team, it has a good defense, good special defense, good attack, good special attack, good speed, and good stamina or health, it is indeed his best option right now to figure out what his opponent''s weakness is. The first round didn''t give him much because his Cryogonal was taken down so fast, his Vanilluxe should be able to do much better because of its all-rounder stats. Julian decided to continue with Fraxure as he needs to push his Fraxure a little more as he is very close to evolving as well. Chapter 824 - Julian Vs Brycen (2) Julian Fraxure stayed on the battlefield and waited for his new opponent Vanilluxe to make a move, that previous exchange between him and Cryogonal was very fast and that didn''t do anything to push him over his limit. Brycen started his attack again, he once again stuck to Special Attacks because he wanted to avoid getting hit by those powerful hits in the beginning, once the battle stretches out and his opponent''s Fraxure starts to get tired he will try to close in and deal the finishing blow. ?? Brycen "Vanilluxe, use Ice Beam" Julian "Counter with Dragon w then use Dragon Dance" Fraxure did as Julian said and spread his ws and gathered a lot of energy in them, as the Ice Beam came towards him, he swiped at it causing shards of ice to fly everywhere, his ws had some ice stuck on them but he blew them up using Dragon Pulse. He then lifted both his hands up in their air, his tail also pointed up, his head looked up and then he started to dance, well it was not a dance, it was rather Fraxure using his two legs to jump following a rhythm but it worked. As soon as he finished this dance, suddenly his speed and power increased within his body and he could feel it, the surging power growing inside his body. Brycen "Once again, Ice Beam" Brycen wanted to force Julian in a bad spot and Ice Beam was clearly the best option for him, why use any other attack if Ice Beam can do the work for him and if it manages to deal damage, the damage will be high as well. Julian "Dodge and use Night sh" With his increased speed, Fraxure quickly dodged the Ice Beam, since the surface of the battlefield is already shatteredpletely it isn''t providing any kind of hindrance to Fraxure, it''s just that his feet feel cold but that is manageable. After dodging the Ice Beam he charged at Vanilluxe with full speed, with the speed upgrade, his speed is a lot better than before. Brycen "Move back and use Icy Wind" Vanilluxe quickly moved back and dodged the Night sh from Fraxure and used Icy Wind, it blew the cold wind out of its mouth which traveled towards Fraxure trying to freeze him. Julian "Run, then use Dragon Dance again" Fraxure quickly changed his direction and ran the other direction from the Icy Wind, once he had enough distance between him and his opponent he did his weird dance again. After another Dragon Dance, it rose his Attack and Speed even further, Brycen noticed that he cannot just wait and try to tire down his opponent''s pokemon, he saw that his opponent''s pokemon is just making himself stronger by using Dragon Dance. Brycen ''I have to think of something else'' He thought and looked around, he noticed that their battle has destroyed the ice on the battlefield which is making it a lot easier for Fraxure to move around. Brycen "Vanilluxe, use Avnche" Since the Ice was not going to do the trick, Brycen decided to cover the battlefield with snow, his Vanilluxe rose up in the air and cried releasing a chilling aura, the surrounding soon started to change as a massive amount of snow started to build up in the air. The sky got covered with snow and nothing else, Julian saw this and smiled. Julian "Use Protect" Knowing it should be near impossible to escape this attack, the best thing to do is to use Protect and Julian made the right call, as soon as Fraxure used Protect, the massive snow avnche came crashing down on the ground. It crashed into the battlefield sending dust and smoke all across the gym, the whole battlefield is now covered with snow, and Fraxure is buried under this huge pile of snow, if he had not used Protect, the weight of the snow would have dealt serious damage to him. Fraxure suddenly got out of the snow and shook his head and spit out some snow from his mouth, the surrounding has be very cold and he doesn''t like the current atmosphere, it is too cold for him. Julian also looked around and saw the massive amount of snow on the battlefield, he was impressed by this decision because this much snow can clearly slow down his Fraxure a lot, even if he reached the peak of his speed after using Dragon Dance. Julian "Use Dragon Dance" But Julian didn''t stop, he continued to make Fraxure use Dragon Dance and power up his attack and speed again. Brycen "Ice Beam again" Vanilluxe shot another powerful Ice Beam at Fraxure and this time no matter how hard he tries, he cannot used his speed to get past the thick snow that is his waist height and his feet are touching the ground. Julian "Jump up" Fraxure used all his strength and jumped up high, all that build up power was now put to use, he left a hole behind as the Ice Beam hit the hole and formed some ice inside it. Fraxure fell on the ice and slid off to the side and stood on the cold snow again. Brycen "Don''t stop, continue using Ice Beam" Vanilluxe continued sting Ice Beams, Fraxure used his speed to move around and dodged the Ice Beams, since he is not deep inside the snow he can move around but his speed is still affected. It was thanks to those Dragon Dance that he could keep up with dodging the Ice Beams, Julian waited because soon the thing he is waiting for would happen, a lot of ice has been formed on top of the snow once again. Then it happened, what Julian was waiting for, as Vanilluxe went for another Ice Beam only fog came out of its mouth with small ice shards, Vanilluxe ran out of Ice Beams to use, there had to be a limit and after using such a powerful Avnche, Julian knew Vanilluxe would run out of Ice energy very soon. Now it has to wait for a while before it can charge up again. Chapter 825 - Julian Vs Brycen (3) Brycen didn''t expect that his Vanilluxe to run out of energy, he overused his Vanilluxe and he didn''t expect that it would run out of energy, his opponent was too passive the whole battle, and with his constant power-ups, this put a lot of pressure on Brycen. He also tried to use an all area attack to hit and trap his opponent''s pokemon and it somehow seeded but failed at the same time. ?? Julian "Use Dragon Pulse" Now that Vanilluxe is out of energy, it''s time for Fraxure to attack, he sted a Dragon Pulse at Vanilluxe. Brycen "Dodge and use Astonish" Vanilluxe''s special energy was over but it still has a bunch of physical moves up its sleeve, Vanilluxe dodged the Dragon Pulse and appeared right in front of Fraxure andnded the Astonish, this caught Fraxure by surprise as he was pushed back and he took minor damage from it. Seeing his chance Brycen decided to deal a powerful blow now. Brycen "Use Giga Impact" Julian "Counter with Iron Tail" It was time to end this long battle as well, Vanilluxe rushed towards Fraxure as its body was covered with powerful destructive energy, Fraxure mmed his tail on the ground and soon the massive amount of steel energy started to form around it. As Vanilluxe got close to his range, Fraxure swung his Iron Tail at it, both moves collided and for the first time in the battle, it created a massive explosion, the heat from the impact was so massive that it caused all the ice and snow around the area to melt in an instant. Some ice shards and snow were also sent flying as they crashed into the walls of the gym and shattered, once the smoke was cleared both pokemons could be seen on the broken battlefield that is now fully exposed and nothing is covering it. Vanilluxe doesn''t look too damaged, this proved that it has a very strong attack power as well but it was clearly the one that got pushed back, even after using Giga Impact it couldn''t defeat Fraxure in pure strength. Julian "Finish it, use Iron Tail" Fraxure roared and swung his tail at Vanilluxe who cannot move due to the side effect of using Giga Impact, Brycen was not ready for this, he thought he would at least deal some damage to his opponent after using Giga Impact. Giga Impact is a very risky but powerful move and not many people try to use it because it can be thest resort for a trainer to pull aeback, unlike Julian normal trainers can''t just make their pokemons spam Giga Impacts and Hyper Beam every time he calls for it. Brycen used Giga Impact after looking at the risk and reward but his calction was totally wrong, the opponent he was facing was just too strong, his Fraxure''s pure physical strength was ridiculous. Fraxurended the Iron Tail whichnded very hard on Vanilluxe''s body, Vanilluxe was sent flying backward, Julian looked at Vanilluxe and thought it was over. He was about to call back Fraxure and was a little disappointed that he couldn''t evolve even after that but to his surprise, Vanilluxe suddenly rose up and it was clear, it wanted to go on till it couldn''t move. Brycen "I won''t give up either then, use Giga Impact again" Julian "Use Giga Impact as well" Since Brycen was going all out, Julian decided to do the same hoping it will be that final push. Vanilluxe let out a battle cry and charged at Fraxure with all the remaining power in its body and this time the energy surrounding its body was even more destructive than before. Fraxure also roared and charged at Vanilluxe using Giga Impact, the energy around his body pulled releasing mini shock waves in the atmosphere, every step he took would cause a crack on the ground. Both pokemons charged at each other with full speed and power, wanting to waste not even a little bit of power, both collided at full power, the impact caused a massive explosion, and this time the explosion was not just limited to the gym. The explosion blew a massive hole through the roof of the gym, since this gym was build under a teau, it didn''t have an open roof and now there is one. The sound that was created from this was thunderous and the whole city heard it, people in the city got scared and wondered if Team sma attacked again. Back inside the gyms, rubbles started to fall to the ground from the destroyed roof, the smoke cleared and both pokemons could be seen clearly, both seem to be paralyzed on the spot due to the side effect of Giga Impact. Julian''s Fraxure is still not strong enough to just ignore the side effect of a Giga Impact so he has to stay still like this for a few seconds. Julian was also surprised to see that Vanilluxe was still standing and has not fainted, as he wondered when the battle will start again, his Fraxure twitched and suddenly light emitted through his scales and his whole body started to get devoured by light. Fraxure was finally evolving, his body grew a lot, his two long side horns on his face started to change as well and they started to shape like axe des, his lower body grew thick along with his legs and tail. His height also grew a lot, from 1.3 meters to 2.1 meters in height. The light soon faded away and a ck dragon with red axe horns and ws is revealed. Chapter 826 - Time For Zweilous Julian''s shiny Haxorus stood there with an intimidating aura around him, it seems that after evolving, the unfroze and let out a powerful roar, as he was about to go for the finish, Vanilluxe also unfroze and suddenly crashed on the ground. It looks like the side effect from the Giga Impact was holding it on the edge, once the side effect wore off, Vanilluxe crashed on the ground and fainted on the spot. ?? The referee looked at the fallen Vanilluxe and gave the verdict. Referee "Vanilluxe is unable to battle Haxorus wins" Haxorus just looked at his fallen opponent in disappointment as he wanted to check out his new strength and how much he has grown after his evolution, with this evolution his attack stat and strength is now ridiculously powerful. Julian also wanted to see the power behind Haxorus now, of course, he could continue using Haxorus and win this whole battle with just one pokemon but he wanted to use Zweilous for this battle as well. Brycen looked at his fallen Vanilluxe and sighed, he miscalcted and it cost him this exchange while his opponent had kept everything in his mind and made sure everything works his way. He also profited as his Fraxure evolved in Haxorus giving him a big boost, now Brycen needed to bring out his ace and meet his opponent''s pokemon with pure power. He called Vanilluxe back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon, Beartic. A massive white pokemon standing 2.7 meters tall, the giant ice bear pokemon took the battlefield and let out a powerful roar disying its dominance. Haxorus who is on the battlefield really wanted to test his strength against this Beartic but it depended on Julian and what he wants to do. Julian looked at the battlefield and made his decision, he called Haxorus back, he will have enough chance to test his strength, it is now time for Zweilous to make the move. He called Haxorus back to the Pokeball and sent out Zweilous for the battle, Zweilous came out of the battlefield andnded on the rough battlefield, he turned his two heads around and tried to figure out his surroundings, even though he is blind he can still feel his surrounding, he could feel the heat around his surroundings due to all the energy that was released before during the battle. He could also feel the cold that was a little far away from the battlefield that was blown away by the explosion from the previous fight, both heads worked together and quickly got a rough 3d map of his surrounding, it is not fully urate but it is enough for him to move around. He could also hear the breathing of a giant in front of him and from what he could sense this giant is a strong one, not as strong as the ones he is around with but definitely strong enough to push him back if they both shed. He could also feel Julian''s gaze on him and after reading the atmosphere around him, it was clear to him that he is in a battle right now, he gripped the battleground tightly with his feet and waited for Julian''smand. He knows he has been training for this moment and he wants to do his best in this battle. Brycen saw Julian''s choice but he didn''t understand why Julian went with Zweilous, his Fraxure just evolved into Haxorus giving him a massive boost in power, he could have easily matched his Beartic with pure strength but his opponent decided to switch pokemon. Brycen didn''t think much anymore and decided to focus on this new pokemon of his opponent. Brycen "Beartic, let''s go, use Bulk Up then Brick Break" Beartic roared and used Bulk Up causing both its attack and defense to rise up by a stage, it then charged at Zweilous with its full speed, even though not much, its big strides helped Beartic cover a lot of distance. Zweilous sensed the big pokemon charging towards him, with no eyes he couldn''t see from where he ising but, he could sense the vibrations on the ground and the path of the sound, he pinpointed the direction of the attacker and waited for Julian''s signal. Julian "Move back and use Dragon Pulse" As Beartic tried to smash one of Zweilous''s head, his body moved back and both heads opened their mouth and sted Dragon Pulse at Beartic, because Zweilous has two heads he can st two Dragon pulse and both Dragon Pulse are as strong as a normal one. It was like two pokemons using Dragon Pulse at the same time, two Dragon Pulsended on Beartic and sent it backward, Beartic grabbed onto its stomach in pain as both Dragon Pulse hit the same spot. Beartic roared and charged at Zweilous again. Brycen "Use, Fury Swipes" Since Zweilous can dodge a single attack, Brycen wanted to test if he could avoid multiple hits attacks like Fury Swipes. Zweilous backed off and avoided the first swipe as he sensed a fast wing towards him at high speed, he dodged the first w but the second w came soon after the first and Zweilous is not fast enough to dodge all of them. Julian "Use Protect" Zweilous listened to Julian and suddenly put up a protective barrier in front of him, the Fury Swipes then started tond on the barrier and each strike would leave a small crack on it, soon the cracks started to spread and be bigger and finally shattered. As soon as the Protect shattered, Julian suddenly clicked his tongue and gave a signal. As Zweilous suddenly heard the click from Julian, he suddenly used Crunch, not just one but two heads used Crunch at the same time. Beartic was caught off-guard and countered with thest Fury Swipe to counter but it was not enough, as the two attacks collided, Beartic''s arm was thrown back and the other Crunch dealt the damage heavily. Beartic lost its bnce and suddenly its massive body crashed on the ground. Chapter 827 - Julian Vs Brycen (4) As Beartic fell on the ground with a huge crash, Brycen was surprised by this, he didn''t hear his opponent call out any move either, it was as if Zweilous made the move all by himself. Well since it was just a tongue click from Julian, it wasn''t much loud but it was enough for Zweilous to hear it, and once he did he knew which move to use, one tongue click is for Crunch and Zweilous used it properly. ?? Brycen didn''t know what happened but he is sure that the battle isn''t over, his Beartic won''t go down just from a Crunch. As he expected, his Beartic ced its massive arm on the ground and supported it body up, and stood straight again, letting out a massive roar. Beartic looks a little pissed after that exchange but now it knows it cannot look down on its opponent even though it is much smaller and weaker than it. Brycen thought of something, he realized that his Beartic is stronger than his opponent''s pokemon but he is too slow to counter on time ornd a hit faster than his opponent''s pokemon can dodge the attack or block it. He of course had a way to deal with this disadvantage he has. Brycen "Use Hail" Brycen pulled out his trump card, as soon as themand was given Beartic roared and summoned a hailstorm, wind started to blow along with snow and soon the volume of the snow started to increase as the wind started to circle around the stadium. This created an artificial hailstorm which is summoned by Beartic, as the hailstorm started to move around faster, the soft snow started to feel like bullets to Zweilous due to the speed and impact of the snowkes. Zweilous growled as he felt irritated by the constant barrage of snowkes on his body, even though it doesn''t seem much, they are chipping away Zweilous health slowly. Brycen "Now, let''s show them what we got, use Mega Punch" Beartic moved but this time its speed was fast, very fast, Julian was surprised by this as he didn''t expect the big massive pokemon to move so fast, then he realized that is happening. Julian ''It is due to its ability, Slush Rush, this ability allows a pokemon to move a lot after faster in hailstorms, his Beartic must have this ability'' He thought and he is right. Beartic''s speed is a lot faster now and it quickly closed the distance between it and Zweilous and punched Zweilous, even the speed of its punch has increased a lot. Julian "Counter with Headbutt" Since the opponent has gotten so close, there is no way he can dodge this so the best option is to counter, Zweilous''s both head moved forward using Headbutt, since two heads are working together the power behind the attack will be more as well. The Mega Punch and two Headbutt shed causing an explosion, with its already powerful attack stat and the boost it got from Bulk Up at the beginning, Beartic''s attack carries a lot of destructive power in it, Zweilous might now be as strong as Beartic but he can attack with twice the force of any pokemon because he has two heads. The shockwave caused even more destruction around the area, the shockwave even blew the hailstorm and cleared a small area but the hailstorm came back and covered the area. The explosion calmed down and both pokemons seems to be fine, but the exchange was won by Beartic, it proved itself to be much stronger with that Bulk Up''s assistant. Julian then suddenly pped once. As soon as he pped Zweilous sted a powerful Hyper Voice at Beartic, once again Beartic was caught by surprise as two bursts of sound waves struck it and sent it crashing on the ground again and this time the power behind this attack is much more. Hyper Voice is a very powerful normal-type Special Attack, it may not have any advantage over other typing but it still deals a lot of damage. Brycen was surprised once again, the same this happened, his opponent''s pokemon made a decision on its own, and that too at the right time, Brycen realized that this might be very troublesome. He needs to know when his opponent is going to make a move so he cane up with a counter, if he cannot, this will continue and his Beartic will go down in defeat. Brycen "Get up and use Fury Swipes" Beartic roared and got on its feet once again and charged at Zweilous using Fury Swipes, its speed much faster than before. Julian "Use Protect" Julian called for a Protect because he knows he cannot simply avoid this, Zweilous used Protect and protected himself from the barrage of Fury Swipes. Since the swipes were much faster than before, the power behind them is also a lot more. The Protect couldn''t take it for much longer and shattered. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse" Julian had already anticipated when the Protect will break so he was ready to counter as soon as the Protect breaks and as soon as it did, Zweilous sted two powerful Dragon Pulse at point-nk range. Bryce was also ready for an attack this time as he won''t be caught off-guard for the third time, lucky for him Julian announced his attack. Brycen "Counter with Night sh" As the next Fury Swipe wasing towards Zweilous it suddenly changed to Night sh as dark energy covered Beartic''s ws, it shed at the two Dragon Pulse and destroyed them causing another massive explosion. Julian didn''t wait, he knew that his Zweilous is still conscious inside the smoke cloud and this was the time to take advantage of this and win this battle. He suddenly let out a soft whistle telling Zweilous to use his final move. Since Zweilous doesn''t rely on his sight, it didn''t matter whether he is trapped in a hailstorm or inside a smoke, he can always pinpoint the location of his opponent, and this time it''s no different. He roared and used Head Smash, two heads both used Head Smash at once, a very powerful rock type move which can have a severe bacsh on Zweilous because he uses two in one go, meaning the damage he receives from it is double than of a normal pokemon who knows Head Smash. Chapter 828 - Call From Yesh Zweilous used Head Smash by pinpointing his opponent and ran right through Beartic, Beartic didn''t see thising at all, as its surrounding was covered with smoke from the previous exchange, it didn''t see the two heads emerge out of the smoke and crash into its stomach. Beartic suddenly let out a grunt and suddenly went silent from the force of that Head Smash, it was then sent flying backward, even though it weighed so much it was sent flying from the impact of that attack. ?? The Head Smash blew the breath out of Beartic, it crashed on the ground causing cracks to spread all across the battlefield, Brycen was shocked by seeing this as he saw his Beartic flying out of the smock cloud. He saw his Beartic holding onto its stomach indicating where the attacknded and once again he didn''t see iting, he looked at his opponent but he couldn''t figure out what his opponent is thinking as his face is covered. The referee checked Beartic and noticed that it has been knocked out. Referee "Beartic is unable to battle, Zweilous is the winner, the winner of this battle is the challenger" The referee gave the final verdict and ended the battle. Brycen sighed at his loss, this battle was the hardest one he has ever fought, yes he did get his ass whooped by other trainers, one of them even destroyed his pokemonspletely it was not one-sided like this, he did defeat one of that person''s pokemon before that person sent out his ace to destroy his pokemons. He sent Beartic back to its Pokeball, he then walked towards Julian and handed him the Freeze Badge, Julian took the badge and thanked him, and walked out of the battlefield. What surprised Julian was Brycen never cared about his identity and didn''t even bother to ask him about it while the other gym leaders at least tried, it looks like Brycen really doesn''t care about anything other than epting challenges from trainers and battling them and nothing else. He walked out of the gym with the seventh badge in his hand, the badge looked quite nice in Julian''s eyes, maybe his favorite one till now. He smiled and put it in his badge case and headed back to his hotel room, when he got there and was about to take the day off, he received a call from none other than Yesh. He was surprised to see his student call him, he picked up the call and answered it. Julian "Yesh, how are you doing?" Yesh "I am doing fine, are you in Icirrus city?" Julian "Yes" Yesh "Ok, I am also in Icirrus city, I saw what you did near Dragonspiral tower" He said. Julian "What did I do?" Julian asked. Yesh "You blew up the Team sma headquarters, nobody else can pull that off" Julian "Fiar enough, so why did you call?" Yesh "I want a battle" Julian "Are you confident in taking me on?" He asked with a smile, he is curious to see how much Yesh has truly improved since they separated their ways. Yesh "I don''t know, that is why I need to battle you" Julian "Ok, then where do you want to meet?" Yesh "I will send you the location" Yesh said and ended the call right after that, Julian smiled after noticing that Yesh is still the same as ever, on the point, doesn''t like to waste time and or likes to speak anything that doesn''t bother with his daily life and is a waste of time. Julian soon received the location from Yesh, it was quite near to his hotel, a nearby pokemon park, since he has nothing to do he walked out of his room and headed towards this pokemon park. After a few minutes, he arrived at the spot and looked around to find Yesh, there are a lot of people around, so he has his face covered with a mask and his eyes covered with his new sunsses, if one looked at Julian he looks like a very suspicious person. Even though it puts a bad impression on people, it is still better for Julian because people will avoid him. He looked around and finally found Yesh, he was battling someone in the middle of the park, he was surrounded by a few people as they watched the battle in excitement. Yesh seems to have a new pokemon by his side, a Krookodile, a very powerful pokemon with the typing of Ground and Dark-type, it is a very powerful physical attacker with good speed to back it up, it also has decent Defense and Special Defense. He is currently battling a trainer who is using a Sawsbuck, Yesh''s opponent tried to finish this battle and called out a Giga Impact to which Yesh''s Krookodile moved to the side and used Brick Break right on top of Sawsbuck''s neck and knocked it out. The trainer was shocked by his swift loss and sighed in disappointment, he then sent his pokemon back to its Pokeball and thanked Yesh before leaving. Julian walked into the battlefield and didn''t give Yesh a chance to collect himself before sending out his pokemon for this battle, he sent out his Escavalier for this battle. Yesh was caught by surprise by this, he didn''t expect someone to just walk in and challenge him, he then suddenly realized that this person in front of him is none other than Julian and that is his Escavalier which seems to have evolved. Julian "This will be a one on one pokemon battle, you can continue with your Krookodile or switch your pokemon" Julian told him. Yesh thought about it for a second before finally making the decision, he called his Krookodile back and sent out a new pokemon to the battlefield, Heatmor, a very good choice for this battle. Chapter 829 - Julian VS Yesh Again Julian looked at Yesh''s choice and smiled, it was indeed a very good choice, to use a Fire-type against his Escavalier who is four times weak to a fire type attack, well since that is his only weakness any other choice would have been considered really stupid. Escavalier has eight resistance and one immunity, if the opposition has a pokemon that is fire type or can use fire type move, that is the best choice, if not they really are willing to take a very big risk or they are stupid unless they are just too overpoweredpared to Julian''s pokemon which is just a ridicules thought. ?? Julian "Go on make your first move" Julian said weing the first move from Yesh. Yesh tried to study Julian''s Escavalier but he couldn''t find anything that was standing out of the blue, he has some information about Escavaliers in general and he knew it wouldn''t matter what type of attacks he goes for, it has equal Defense and Special Defense. Since there was no better way to attack, he decided to go heavy from the very beginning. Yesh "Use Fire Lash" Yesh went big with the first attack, Fire sh is a very powerful physical move that deals a lot of damage but it also lowers the opponent''s defense by one stage. Julian "Use Protect and then Rain Dance" Escavalier suddenly put a barrier in front of him and protected himself from the powerful Fire Lash, even though his defense is good he is not strong enough to take on such a powerful move head-on. The Fire Lashnded on the Protect and created a very striking sound, the sound was simr to a whip''s end whishing in the air, the Protect shattered but it was able to protect Escavalier. He then suddenly used Rain Dance and called upon the rain, clouds started to form over the battlefield and it then started to rain. Julian knows the weakness of his pokemons, and Escavalier''s four times weakness to fire type moves is a big no for Julian and that is why he thought Escavalier Rain Dance so he can reduce the power of fire type attacks by half putting his Escavalier in a little advantageous position than before. Yesh didn''t see thising but he was not surprised, he just put this method into the back of his mental list so he can use this type of moves in the future for his own battles. As the rain started to pour down his Heatmor started to feel ufortable due to the water that was falling on its body and it couldn''t do anything about it. Yesh "Use methrower" He knew that this battle won''t be easy and his chance of winning is slim to none, he now wants to figure out for how long can he survive. Julian "Go right through it, use Drill Run" As Heatmor sted a powerful methrower, Julian countered using Drill Run, Escavalier joined its arms and started to spin, he then charged right through he methrower, since the ground energy was covering his whole body, he wasn''t affected much by the methrower. As Yesh saw the attacking he quickly went for the defense and called for a Protect. Heatmor put up a Protect to block the iing attack and it did, Escavalier was stopped in his tracks but the Protect shattered in an instant after Escavalier made contact with it, Heatmor backed of sensing the danger, luckily all the power behind the attack disappeared and Escavalier just floated there but just for a second as Julian made another call. Julian "Finish this with Giga Impact" Since Escavalier was so close to Heatmor there is no way it could dodge this Giga Impact, Escavalier''s body got covered with destructive energy and he charged at his foe with full power. Yesh knew he had to counter so he went all out as well. Yesh "Use Inferno" Since his Heatmor is a little better at using Special Attacks than physical attacks, he went for it and he also put Julian''s theory behind it, a Special Attack will always win when an exchange with a physical attack if the attack ising from a distance, he can stop his opponent''s pokemon on its path. Heatmor created a massive ball of fire and sted at Escavalier who is now right next to it. The two moves made contact and it caused a massive explosion, the people who were watching backed off in fear as they felt the shockwave hitting their body, they witnessed the trees being blown till they bent a little, leaves were ripped of their branch and sent flying. The shockwave traveled very high and even blew away the rain clouds on top of them, the rain stopped as there are no clouds right now. Yesh waited in anticipation as he doesn''t know the result of this battle, now is the clear time to shift the tide and defeat Julian''s Escavalier as the Rain Dance has been blown away. As the smoke cleared up the result of the battle was in as well, Yesh didn''t say anything as he saw the result, his Heatmor was down on the ground knocked out while Julian''s Escavalier is still floating in the air. This showed the difference between him and Julian''s pokemons power. Chapter 830 - Next Stop Opelucid The battle''s scale was really shocking to the people who watched it, some of them were even scared out of their mind as they felt the explosions and shockwaves but they were also very excited, this level of battle could only be seen in pokemon leagues and exhibition matches. They all felt really lucky as they witnessed such a powerful battle. ?? While the audience pped as the battle ended, Yesh pondered on the battlefield on how the battle yed out, everything was fine but he never got an inch over Julian in the battle, Julian easily set up Rain Dance to reduce his Heatmor''s firepower and when it came to the final exchange, his Heatmor was just overpowered and got destroyed. Julian''s Escavalier did take some damage but it was not enough to take it down, thanks to its good Defense and Special Defense. He then sent Heatmor back to its Pokeball as he realized he needs to do a lot more when ites to battling, he has perfected how to train his pokemons and they are in no way shape, or form weaker than the opponent. What he now needs to learn is how to get an edge over an opponent, yes most of the time he can get over them but when he faces someone who is better than him or is a very unorthodox trainer, Yesh finds himself struggling against them. Like just now, Julian just knew what he was going to do, he took control over the battlefield andpletely made this battle pretty one-sided. He realized he needs to learn how to take control over the battlefield without making the opponent realize, he has seen Julian doing this multiple times, Julian is always under control and his pokemons always have a way to counter their opponent. Not just because they are strong because they also control the battlefield, Yesh wanted to learn this but it was harder than he expected, no matter how much calctions he made he couldn''t do it. Julian also sent his Escavalier back to his Pokeball and let him rest as he took a direct inferno from Heatmor, even though the effect was reduced after it shed with Escavalier''s Giga Impact, it was still very demanding on Escavalier''s energy. Julian is really impressed by Yesh''s growth, his Heatmor also seems to be very powerful as well, if not for the Rain Dance that final exchange might have ended up in a draw. Yesh then approached him and directly asked him a question. Yesh "How can I control the battlefield?" He asked. Julian "That might be the only thing I cannot teach you, you have to master it yourself, the better trainer you be the better you will get at it, its as simple as that" He said. Yesh "Ok" He said and just stood there looking at Julian. Julian "What is it?" Yesh "Did you challenge the gym yet?" Julian "Yes, I have" Yesh "Ok, I will being with you to Opelucid city" He said. Julian "Oh, that would be great" Julian said with a smile on his face, since Yesh would be joining him he will have less work to do during the journey and it will give Julian some time to rest and have some time for himself to just sit and talk to his girlfriends. It has been very long since he talked with them and they also seem to be very busy these few days. Julian then talked with Yesh for a while before leaving for his hotel, they both decided to leave for Opelucid city tomorrow, Yesh seems to have also challenged the gym and won right before Team sma started to cause trouble. He then decided to stay back and wait in the city for a while for things to calm down because Team sma was really active and they tried to stop anyone that tried to leave the city. He also told Julian about a group of Team sma members got beat up really badly when they tried to stop some unknown trainer, they got their bones broken and their pokemons seriously injured, they were sent to the hospital soon after. When Julian learned about this, he only thought of one person, the same one who injured Brycen''s pokemons along with y''s as well. He really wondered who this trainer really is, so cruel in his methods, he doesn''t even spare bad guys, Julian wondered what he will do to this trainer if theye face to face. Once he returned to his hotel room he finally took some time for himself and rested, after resting for a while he got up to find missed calls on his phone and it is from Chloe. He quickly called her back to check why she called him. Julian "Hey babe, why did you call?" Chloe "I wanted to tell you that we areing to Unova" Julian "Oh, if you are doing that,e directly to Opelucid city, I will be there in a week or two" Chloe "Great, I did call you to ask where you will be in a few weeks, now that I know, I will inform Cynthia as well" She said. Julian "Cynthia will be joining as well?" He asked. Chloe "Yes, she said she asked the league for a few days of leave" Julian "I see, then I will meet you in Opelucid city" He said. After that they talked for hours, Chloe is the one who did most of the talking as she told him about her days and a few things about Daisy, soon Daisy also joined in as she came back from her work as well and Julian had to spend even more hours on the phone as the two girls didn''t want to stop. Then they even put Cynthia in the group call as well, Julian had to spend the whole night listening to the girls talk while he put a few words in the middle just to show them that he is listening to them, but in fact, he was not, he was just going through his phone and looking at memes. Chapter 831 - A Legendary Encounter A new day arrived and Julian is still sleeping, yesterday night was quit belong because the girls didn''t want to stop talking and he had to stay awake to just listen to them as they went on and on and on for hours. He regretted his decision of having multiple girlfriends. ?? As it hit 11 AM he finally woke up as his phone started to buzz, he saw that Yesh is calling him, he looked at the time and realized that he iste, he texted Yesh to wait for a few minutes as he started to get ready. He quickly checked out of the hotel room and met up with Yesh before both of them visited a mall to buy some stuff for the journey and then finally leave the Icirrus city. On their way towards the Opelucid city, Julian and Yesh came across a ce called Moor Of Icirrus, Julian had to stop right in front of the moor because the path in front of him was not proper for riding on two wheels, even a car might have a hard time massing through thendscape in front of him. The terrain in front of him is filled with water puddles and wend, the only way to go past this terrain is by walking or on a very powerful off-road jeep which Julian doesn''t have ess to, when they left Icirrus city, Julian had noticed those off-road jeeps outside but he didn''t bother to look into it and now he regrets it. They could have easily got past this moor without much trouble and now they have to walk. Julian "Looks like we have to walk, maybe we will get lucky and someone might find a jeep further down the road, or do you want to go back to Icirrus city?" Julian asked. Yesh "Let''s walk" Julian "Walking it is then" He said and took out some long boots from his pouch and wore them, he passed a pair to Yesh as well, soon they started to walk through the wends and it was not easy, the boots would sometimes dig deep into the mud, they had to jump through puddles or walk very slowly so that water won''t ssh everywhere. As they walked a little further and arrived right in the middle of the moor, Julian suddenly noticed something, he stopped and signaled Yesh to stay silent as well, Yesh was taken by surprise but he quite went still and looked around to see why Julian suddenly stopped. Julian could feel someone or something watching him and whatever it was is very powerful, he looked around and pinpointed the location from where this thing was watching him, he stared at the direction and waited for a reaction from the other side. Suddenly he heard the rustling of bushes and whatever it was ran away, Julian decided to give chase and check out what it is because he had a very strong feeling that it''s a legendary pokemon. Julian "You stay here and set up a camp on a dry patch ofnd, I will be right back'' He said and followed right behind the thing that just ran away, Yesh didn''t say much and just looked at Julian as he ran away, he then found and dry patch ofnd and started to set up a camp without saying much, he wasn''t bothered by it at all, he just did what Julian asked him off to do. __________________ Julian ran through the wet forest and nothing stopped him, the wend was not enough to slow him down, with the amount of strength he has, very little things in this world can stop him, he ran through the forest and he chased behind the shadowy figure. After a while, he finally cornered the thing and he was excited to see what he has just cornered, a Cobalion, Julian didn''t expect to meet one of the Sword of Justice here, Julian smiled as Cobalion has finally been cornered but it didn''t show any sign of hesitation or fear. It is very clear that it is very confident in its ability to take on Julian, Julian looked at Cobalion and wondered if he should catch it or not, after thinking for a while he decided not to because this Cobalion seems to be the protector of the jungle along with the other sword of justice, removing one might cause a lot of trouble and he also didn''t want to bother with training Cobalion from the very beginning. This one is already very strong, there is no use in perfecting its methods, it is a very old pokemon ad Julian will have a very hard time teaching it new things, from what Julian knows, Cobalion has been in Unova since ancient times, during the war between the people who wanted to take over thend that pokemons habituated and the pokemons themselves, this one right here is a very old one. And it didn''t bring anything exceptional to the table as well, its stats are not that greatpared to other legendary pokemons, the only reason the sword of justice has been able to dominate throughout the ages is because of their old age, because of that they have leveled up quite a lot and are very close to that level 100 limit. Julian could tell just from a nce. But he still wanted to battle it, since it''s a very powerful pokemon and if the legends are true, this one has battle Kyurem and escaped, what could be a better sparring partner than this pokemon in front of him. Cobalion seems to have sensed that Julian wants to battle and being the very prideful pokemon that it is, it didn''t back down, instead it mmed his legs on the ground causing a mini tremor to travel through the forest as it tried to disy its power. Julian smirked and sent out his Garchomp, Julian ns to find Kyurem and battle it and Garchomp will be his candidate for that battle, and its better if Garchomp takes on Cobalion and see how good this pokemon really is, surviving against Kyurem really isn''t that easy so Julian is expecting a tough battle. Chapter 832 - Garchomp Vs Cobalion Julian''s Garchomp looked at the pokemon in front of him and realized that the opponent is strong, not as strong as his seniors but he knows it will definitely be a hard battle to be fought. The aura around Cobalion is very powerful and intimidating, this aura could only be possessed by the most powerful of pokemons. ?? Now both of them just waited for the other to attack. Julian saw that Cobalion is not going to make the first move so he decided to attack. Julian "Garchomp, use Dragon Rush" Garchomp roared and charged at Cobalion using Dragon Rush, a massive dragon made of dragon energy formed around Garchomp and he charged through the air. Seeing the iing attack Cobalion stood its ground and then used Iron Defense to increase its already incredible defense. As Garchomp crashed into Cobalion, Cobalion used its powerful horns to intercept Garchomp, as the Dragon Rush made contact, Cobalion tried to push Garchomp back but Garchomp was too powerful. Cobalion''s feet started to drag through the ground as dirt and grass got dug up, the Dragon Rush finally came to an end and it seems like Cobalion has sessfully defended against Garchomp''s Dragon Rush. Since it is a Steel-type pokemon it resisted the Dragon Rush and with the help of Iron Defense, its defense was way higher as well. Julian was surprised by seeing this. Julian ''This Cobalion is stronger than I thought'' He thought as he watched both Cobalion and Garchomp trying to up each other with pure strength and it looks like Garchomp is still the more powerful one while Cobalion''s defense is outstanding and is able to take direct hits from Julian''s Garchomp. Since it started to get pushed back by Garchomp it suddenly decided to attack and this time with a Special Attack, it suddenly started to collect a lot of energy in its mouth, Julian realized that Cobalion is going for a Hyper Beam. Julian "Garchomp, use Giga Impact" As Garchomp was still locked on, powerful energy started to surge through his body which then covered him whole, Cobalion also finished charging up and sted its Hyper Beam at point-nk range. Garchomp also roared and put all his power behind his legs to burst forward with Giga Impact, since both of them attacked each other at point-nk with full power, the core of the explosion was also them, the explosion was massive, this power is from the collision of attacks from pokemons that are on the legendary level. The mushroom cloud rose so high that people from both Icirrus city and Opelucid city could see it, the shockwave was so powerful that it ripped the trees that were nearby into two, some pokemons that were close by got knocked out by the impact as well, the ground was burned and Julian had to put up a barrier in front of him. The ground shook causing an earthquake as well, people from both cities wondered what is going on, weird things are happening all around Unova and people are a little worried. Julian looks at the destruction his Garchomp and Cobalion caused and didn''t know what to say, he expected this but the oue was still over his expectations. As the smoke cleared up both pokemon are still standing with a few little scratches on Cobalion, Garchomp seems to have won that exchange. Knowing the Dragon-type and Normal-type moves won''t cause too much damage to Cobalion, Julian knew he had to deal with some super-effective hits on it. Lucky for Julian, Garchomp is not that bad at Special Attacks, he is actually very decent and Cobalion is also not that great when ites to Special Defense as well, on top of that Garchomp knows a bunch of Fire-type moves as well. Julian "Use Fire Fang" Julian started to off with a Fire Fang to see if Cobalion still has any fight left in it, thatst exchange was massive and it could have put down even a champion level pokemon so it might have dealt some damage. Garchomp charged at Cobalion again and this time his fangs were spewing mes, Cobalion sensed the danger and tried to dodge and sessfully dodged the first one but Garchomp continued using Fire Fang, he soon cornered Cobalion and went for the finish. Garchomp chomped down with his ming fangs, having nowhere else to run Cobalion tried to counter with Double Kick. It raised both its legs and tried to kick Garchomp but he suddenly used his arms and grabbed those legs and tossed them up making Cobalion lose bnce, Cobalion crashed on the ground and Garchomp delivered the Fire Fang right on its stomach. It created a mini-explosion as Cobalion was sent rolling on the ground, it soon got back to its feet and growled at Garchomp, it realized that it is being overpowered by this young pokemon in front of it and it hurt its pride. Julian "Use methrower" As Cobalion made some distance from Garchomp, he sted a powerful methrower at Cobalion, it couldn''t dodge it because the size of the attack was too big, no matter which direction it tries to jump it will get hit. As it was cornered, it pulled a flying-type attack out of nowhere, it powered its leg with wind and jumped really high as it used Bounce dodging the methrower and aimed towards Garchomp with its horns which are surrounded by fast spinning wind energy as it came down at high speed. Julian smiled as Cobalion made a huge mistake, by being in the air, it has nowhere to dodge this next attack. Julian "Let''s end this, Fire st" Garchomp charged up a very powerful Fire st and shot it at the iing Cobalion, Cobalion is shocked by this but since it couldn''t do anything, it just closed its eyes and dove down. The Fire st made contact with Cobalion which created another massive explosion, not as big as the one that shook everything but this one is still very big. Cobalion got sent flying backward and crashed into the ground, that one dealt a lot of damage, one more strike and it will go down. Garchomp started to charge up for another Fire st, if Cobalion tries to get up he will st it away, Cobalion struggled as it tried to get up but it couldn''t that Fire st was too much, as Julian was thinking of ending the battle, he was given a massive surprise. Chapter 833 - A Battle That Cant Be Won He was surprised by what happened next, two shadows jumped out of nowhere and stood right in between the fallen Cobalion and Garchomp, the two pokemons that showed themselves just now are the other members of the Sword Of Justice. Terrakion and Virizion stood there guarding Cobalion against any further attacks from Garchomp, Julian didn''t expect he would meet all Sword Of Justice members, well not all, there is still the fourth one missing but that pokemon is still not considered a member of Sword Of Justice because it is a new species that was not seen in the past but is in the present. ?? Julian didn''t know what to do as this was very awkward, he just wanted to train with Cobalion and he did get a little carried away because he is always so used to winning a battle, when the battle is of this scale and the intensity is very high, logic just flies away with no reason. As he was thinking of finding a way to calm down the current situation one of the Sword Of Justice suddenly attacked, Terrakion made the first move. Terrakion charged at Garchomp using Zen Headbutt. Garchomp was surprised by the sudden attack, he nted his foot and got ready to hold down Terrakion, as it got closer, Garchomp grabbed Terrakion''s horns and pushed him backward while Terrakion tried to push him back as well. Garchomp is surprised as he finally found a pokemon that matched him in strength outside of Julian''s group, the Zen Headbutt didn''t do much as Garchomp stopped Terrakion right on its track. As the Zen Headbutt faded away Terrakion still tried to push Garchomp back but even though it put all its strength behind its four legs it couldn''t, Terrakion is the strongest of the three, its physical power is off the roof and now it is being held down by a pokemon that is centuries younger than it. It hurt its pride, it mooed louder and put more power and Garchomp also put even more power to counter it, Garchomp was clearly enjoying this test of strength. He has a massive grin on his face, the pressure they are building up is spreading everywhere, any pokemon that tried to enter the vicinity just ran away feeling scared after sensing the massive pressure. The ground beneath their feet started to cave in and break down, Julian didn''t expect this kind of development but he decided to wait and see what happens, if things go bad, he has his little Crystal will him and it will take care of everything within seconds. Terrakion''s and Garchomp''s exchange got even more chaotic as they released all their energy just to push the other party backward, the ground beneath them now is aplete mess, they are already deep down the ground as it haspletely caved in, cracks have spread like a spider web. Garchomp was getting fed up with this test of strength, since both of them were equally matched, Garchomp decided to end this, he roared loudly and put all of his strength behind it. The roar traveled all across the moor, back to Garchomp he put all his strength and started to lift Terrakion of his legs. Terrakion is heavy but not something that Garchomp cannot lift, Terrakion was taken by surprise as his whole body was lifted off the ground, he tried to struggle and get out of Garchomp''s grip but it was impossible. Garchomp then mmed Terrakion hard on the groundpletely crushing the ground and turning into a deep pit, Terrakion was stuck on the ground with pain coursing through its whole body. And just like that Garchomp disposed of Terrakion. Garchomp then looked at Virizion and beckoned it for an exchange as well, Virizion is clearly the worst matchup for Garchomp. It''s not the best physical attacker and its physical defense is also not the best in the group, the thing that Virizion excel is at special defense. Virizion saw that Garchomp just did to both Cobalion and Terrakion and it knew that it will be fighting a battle that cannot be won, it looked at Cobalion as it finally got on its feet and looked at Garchomp. Being the leader of the group, it is on Cobalion to decide what to do next, it knew that it clearly lost the battle, even Terrakion has been taken out and it can clearly see it, it looked at both Terrakion and Virizion it made the decision. It decided to retreat for now as they met a foe that was too strong, it hurt their pride but there is no use in fighting a battle that couldn''t be won. Terrakion got out of the pit and joined the other two and they finally left, Julian didn''t stop them, he chased Cobalion to see what was keeping an eye on him and once he encountered Cobalion he wanted to test out Cobalion''s strength, the pokemon that survived against Kyurem. And he was not disappointed by it, the power it disyed was indeed great, and the result was quite visible, the damage in the area is the proof. He was able to test the power and he knew what he has to expect when he faces off against the pokemon he is on the hunt for, Kyurem. Julian wondered what''s Kyurem''s limit and if his Garchomp is up for the test as well. Chapter 834 - Yeshs Observations Julian just let the three Sword Of Justice leave as he achieved what he wanted, he now has a rough estimation of Kyurem''s power and what it might be able to do. As he was thinking about this he noticed another re towards him, he turned towards the direction and noticed a small horse-like frame disappear in the bush. ?? He smiled as he guessed what this pokemon could be, since the three Sword of Justice showed up, thest one might have been in the area as well but just hiding because it is weakpared to the other three. Julian wondered about this fourth member, how it came to be, and from where, in the past, there were only three and they did a great job in keeping the region safe but why was another one of them born and who created it. Was It Arceus, but Julian didn''t think so, why would Arceus waste its time making a weak third rate legendary pokemon, Julian has nothing against third rate legendary pokemon but he doesn''t think they are up to the mark of being called legendary. It''s just that they all live for a very long time and no one knows their lifespan, people think that they are immortal, people from generations have seen the same pokemons over and over. That is the only reason third rate legendary pokemons are considered legendary, they have so much time to develop themselves and be strong that ordinary pokemons can never catch up to them unless theye under a very exceptional trainer like Julian or Cynthia. Julian finds them overrated but he has to admit that they are strongerpared to ordinary pokemons but they will get destroyed by Pseudo legendaries if they are on the same level, luckily for them Pseudo legendary has a normal lifespan just like normal pokemons. That is the only thing that makes them not legendary in people''s eyes. Julian thought about the fourth member of the Sword of Justice as he wanted to know where legendary pokemonse from, do they breed among themselves away from humans? That could be a possibility but there was no evidence behind this and no matter how hard pokemon researchers and professors tried they failed to discover anything about these legendary and mythical pokemons. Julian then put the thought at the back of his head and headed back to where he left Yesh, the Sword Of Justice has disappeared into the forest and he has nothing to do here. When he arrived at the ce where he left Yesh, he saw that Yesh has already set up a camp and arranged everything, when Yesh saw Julian returning he stopped whatever he was doing and approached him. Yesh "What was that explosion?" Julian "It was pretty big huh?" Yesh "Yes" Julian "Well I encountered a Cobalion, Garchomp battled it" Yesh "Was it strong?" Julian "It was what I had expected, it didn''t surprise me" Yesh "I see" Yesh said and went back to doing his work, Julian just smiled seeing this, just like every time, Yesh never gave a shit about anything, the only thing he cared about is improving his own strength and learning from Julian. He doesn''t get excited over legendary pokemons but he has shown interest in their strength, seeing that Julian didn''t think much of Cobalion, Yesh was also a little disappointed, he has not seen the limit of Julian''s strength but he knows its something that cannot be reached by any trainer. So Yesh started to judge every trainer and pokemon he meets with Julian''s standard, since he doesn''t know the limit of Julian''s strongest pokemon, hepares trainers against Julian''s Garchomp or Victini as he has some rough idea or estimation of their strength and he also knows that these two are not even close to what Julian''s big three can do. Infernape, Gengar, and Snox, Yesh has tried his best to study these three pokemons of Julian but he doesn''t get anything, they never disyed their full strength, Infernape has always been the caretaker of Julian''s younger pokemons and is in charge of maintaining discipline in the group, Gengar is pretty mischievous and will always get in trouble and gets beaten up by Infernape. And then there is Snox who is always sleeping, the only time Yesh has seen Snox move is when he wakes up to eat, once he eats he goes back to sleep, he has never seen Snox train but Julian always said that Snox is his second strongest pokemon. Yesh didn''t understand this at all, he has even seen Infernape train but he has never seen Snox train, not even lift a leg to move from one ce to another, if others see this they will think that this Snox is just azy piece of shit. Yesh had given up on learning Infernape and the gang, he then put his focus on Garchomp, Victini, and Crystal and Julian still train them when the young pokemons are done with their training, when Yesh looks at their training, its quite different from the normal training that Julian puts his young pokemon through. It looks like meditationbined with physical movements, everytime they train there is massive pressure around them, weak pokemons can never get close to them when they are training as the pressure is something they cannot handle. Yesh has been noting down everything in his mind, everything Julian does to train his pokemon. Julian "Let''s rest here for the day, we might be able to find a jeep passing by and hop on it to get to Opelucid city" He said and sat down, hours passed as Julian trained his pokemons for their final gym battle against the gym leader of Opelucid gym. Chapter 835 - Alders Plan Julian''s luck was great today because he heard a jeeping towards them, he told Yesh to put the camp away as he stops the jeep. He saw the jeep approaching and he started to wave his hand to get the driver''s attention, he was sessful in his action as the jeep stopped right in front of him. ?? Driver "Are you headed to Opelucid city?" He asked. Julian "Yes, can we hop on?" Driver "How many?" Julian "Two" Driver "Ya sure, we have some seats on the back" Julian "Great, just wait a minute" He said and waited for Yesh toe, Yesh didn''t waste much time and packed up everything and hoped on the back of the jeep and Julian joined him. The road was rough as the ground was soft and wet, there were bumps and mud puddles everywhere, luckily the off-road jeep was very sturdy and reliable in this type of terrain and it easily passed through the moor. Along the way the people in the jeep discussed the explosion they saw and the shockwave they felt, it had scared them out of their mind, they also questioned Julian about it because he was picked up very close to the explosion. To which Julian said that he knew nothing, he said that he took cover when the explosion happened, since there was no one that would go against his words they believed him, the rest of the journey was quite peaceful, once the moor ended, the driver took them to a local hotel nearby. From here Julian decided to go on his own with Yesh, he thanked the driver and paid him some money. Julian and Yesh rented their own rooms and rested for the day. While they rested, the league were having a very tough time with Team sma, they realized that Team sma are ying very rough, their numbers have increased drastically over the month, luckily for them someone dealt with the problem in Icirrus city or they would have been in deep shit. Now they have assigned all the Elite Four to find a capture all the admins of Team sma, at first they thought that it was just a small faction but they didn''t expect them to turn out this big, they realized that this faction has a lot of money and someone is backing them because this big of a faction cannot be simply created without putting any money in it. The CEO of Unova League headquarters did his best to keep everything in check, he also has his suspension on the Seven Sages because Julian had asked him to find out about them, he decided to send some agents to look into the Seven Sages but those agents never came back. He realized that this was even bigger than he expected, pokemon thieves weremon but what Team sma is doing is terrorism, they are blowing up things, holding cities hostage, and hurting people. The league put out a very strict order to take down any team sma member that could be seen on sight, the CEO''s luck was not over as Alder also contacted him and told him that he would look into this as well. With Alder behind this, the CEO felt relieved, Alder was very strong, and with him involved things should go back to normal, that is what he expects. Alder also started looking into this and found out just how deep this goes, he has some informant and realized that Team sma is connected to the Underworld as well, and one thing that Alder knows is that Underworld is something one should not mess with. But he also knows that they won''t interfere in matters that happen in the outside world so if Team sma gets destroyed, they won''t care but if someone tries to use Team sma and sniff into the Underworld, that is when the problem will start. Alder decided to destroy Team sma from the outside, take out their leader, once that is done the whole thing will fall apart, but he has to figure out who the leader actually is, he has met N and he knows N is clearly not the mastermind. He needs to find who is funding Team sma as well and try to cut off this funding as well, no matter how loyal a person is to their faction, without money no one will work for anyone because every one person is selfish and they will care for themselves first before giving something to someone else. Alder went to work on finding out how is funding Team sma and try to cut off this funding, he has his own little team for this job and he assigned them to investigate it. Alder knows that Team sma won''tst for long because they are being cornered very badly, they made a mistake and suddenly making big moves that caught the attention of the League and the worst possible person they coulde across, Julian. But Alder also knew that he cannot just wait for others to clean up the mess, the more he waits the more destruction Team sma will cause. You just don''t let the weeds grow and wait for them to die on their own, you rip them out of the ground so that they don''t damage the essential crops. He has to make sure that Team sma gets destroyed fast and cutting off their funds is the best way possible to weaken them and slow down their growth, next the Elite Four can corner the admins and take them down or they will encounter Julian on the way and get destroyed before the Elite Four can even make a move. Alder has already thought this through, now he wants to see who will get to Team sma first, the Elite Four or Julian. Chapter 836 - Studding The Final Opponent Julian and Yesh got up early in the morning and got ready to head out, since they are already across the moor, there is nothing to worry about, it will take them two to three days to reach Opelucid city on Julian''s bike. The journey was not that hard this time, when they camped down Julian would focus on training his pokemons for the uing battle, Yesh also joined him but he did his own training, he has learned everything that there was to learn from Julian so he made his own training regime. ?? Because it is the only way for a trainer to grow and develop, if they copy someone else they will never grow, Julian had told him this very early in his journey, at first Yesh thought that it was best to copy Julian''s method as it seemed the most practical option but Julian warned him. Yesh soon found out that Julian was right, he did copy Julian''s method at first but he soon came to a halt because he couldn''t do what Julian does, he then found out that its best for him to create his own which he can change and further develop and perfect it as he grows stronger. He would ask to battle Julian and he lost every time but he was getting better, his pokemon were able tost long in the battle as well. Three days passed and they finally arrived at Opelucid city, Julian and Yesh then went their own separate ways because they had different things to do, Julian didn''t bother with what Yesh does in his own free time and neither does Yesh. Yesh went into the city leaving Julian behind, Julian decided to quickly get a hotel room for himself and his girlfriends that will being in a few days, they said they will be here within a week and Julian is very eager to meet them. After renting a very massive room in a grand hotel, he sent the address to all his girlfriends, he then decided to look around the city to see what is going on, when he destroyed the team sma headquarters near Icirrus city, the leader grunt said that Team sma is nning to do something in Opelucid city, he doesn''t know what but he wants to find out what they were nning. He did ruin their n by destroying the headquarter and taking care of the chaos that they created in Icirrus City. He spent some time to look around the city but he didn''t find anything that was suspicious, he asked the locals if anything weird happened in the city but he got nothing from them, everything seems to be very calm here and people mostly gave the credit for this peacefulness to the gym leader Drayden. Julian didn''t think much about it and headed back to his hotel since he couldn''t find anything rted to Team sma. He decided to go back and look into Drayden and learn a little about him and his team before he goes and challenges him for hisst gym badge. Once he got back into his room, he took out hisptop and searched for Drayden and how is he as a gym leader and how many trainers are able to go past through him. He soon found what he is looking for, Drayden seems to have a lot of pokemon under him and since his gym is thest one to be challenged by all the trainers, he doesn''t have to train new pokemons and make sure that they are equal to the challenger''s pokemon level. Some of his pokemons are Haxorus, Flygon, Druddigon, Altaria, Smence, and Hydreigon, this line up is indeed very intimidating to trainers, all these are very powerful Dragon-type pokemons. He noticed that not many trainers are also not able to defeat Drayden at all, 90% of trainers give up once they face off against Drayden, well it is to be expected, every year a million trainers decide to participate in a league but only more than a thousand trainers are eligible to enter the league, most of them can''t get past the seventh gym and the eighth gym which belongs to Drayden is the final coffin to their League''s dream. Out of ten thousand that make through the seventh gym only a thousand of them are able to defeat Drayden and then get their eighth badge to participate in the Unova League. Julian looked at Drayden''s record and his very impressed, he has ten consecutive wins on his record right now, it looks like Drayden''s page is constantly updated, thest person to defeat him seems to be a person wearing an eye patch. When Julian read this he was surprised again, he could only think of one person with an eye patch, but it looks like Drayden held his own against this trainer and was not bullied badly by this trainer, even though his loss was still devastating and one of his pokemon seems to be hospitalized. As he read through it he wondered who this trainer really is and from where did hee from, and why does his method seem so cruel. Having no idea who this trainer is and how strong he really is, Julian got a little excited to battle this trainer and also teach him a lesson as well. Chapter 837 - Last Gym Battle? Once Julian figured out Drayden''s danger, he left his hotel room and went to the nearest forest entrance to train his pokemon, he doesn''t like training inside the city because that can attract too much attention. Once he reached the forest he looked at his options, since Drayden is a dragon type user his pokemons will be resistant to elemental types like Fire, Water, Grass, and Electricity, the best option is to go with Ice, Dragon, or Fairy as they deal a lot of damage to Dragon types. ?? But Julian only has Dragons in his team, he doesn''t have an ice type or fairy type pokemon in his team and he doesn''t want to use dragons again in this battle. Julian "Looks like I have to choose randomly" He said and looked at his pokemons, Larvesta is very close to evolving but Julian doesn''t want to use him for this battle as it would be a very bad matchup, his strength is not up to par with the dragons that Drayden has nor is his defense any good at this level. Julian''s only hope is for Larvesta to evolve quickly which is very close to happening, he looked through all his pokemon and chose two of them, Escavalier and Darmanitan. The first two pokemons he started with, he decided to end it with them as well. He then put all his focus on them and trained them for their uing battle, Darmanitan will have to work a little harder as he will have a disadvantage against Drayden''s dragon type pokemons. While Escavalier will have the advantage in this battle, he will have resistance to most of Drayden''s dragon-type moves, while other types of moves might hurt Escavalier it will severely limit Drayden''s pokemons'' moveset. Julian focused on Darmanitan''s movement and power while Escavalier was put under a lot of defensives training, even though he might be resistant to dragon-type attacks, he is not resistant to other types of moves. He is also very slow and with his speed, it is not enough for him to dodge attacks from Drayden''s pokemons, he was faster when he was a Karrast, so to perform better in the battle Escavalier''s defense and special defense has to be very strong. The training was hard, no matter how many times they have trained under Julian, every time the training bes harder thanst time as Julian puts them under a lot of pressure. The other pokemons were also put under intense training as once the eighth badge has been earned, it will be time for the league, and the trainers there will be strong, because of the little challenge he gave out to the world. Once training was done he returned to his hotel as the day ended, he continued this routine of training and going back to the hotel to rest for a few days, he did this till he was satisfied with his pokemons'' development. _________________ The day is here when he will challenge the gym for the final badge, during his stay here he saw nothing that was out of expectation, everything seemed normal and people were living their lives normally. He woke up early in the morning and got ready for his gym battle, he walked out of his hotel at 10 am and soon arrived in front of Opelucid gym, right outside the gym''s gate, he saw the statue of two dragon pokemons, they were or Zekrom and Reshiram, Julian was impressed by how detailed these statues were. He walked past the gate and entered the premises of the gym and he saw a massive structure right in front of him, it is the Opelucid gym, it looks like the whole structure is made from a single massive rock. He noticed two massive dragon heads on either side of the gym and right in the middle is a giant door weing the trainers, Julian got excited and entered the gym. Just like every gym, he was greeted by a gym keeper who guided him towards the battlefield where the gym leader is waiting for his challenger. Julian walked down the stairs and into the battlefield, he saw a talk muscr old man on the other side of the battlefield with his arms folded waiting for his next opponent, the old man was quite intimidating but Julian just smiled as he saw him. This man is clearly old but he still holds such a strong presence around him, he also looks after his body even at this age, his shoulders are wide, his arms are big and his legs seem strong as well. The only thing Julian found weird about this man is his beard as it''s shaped quite weird, while others have a beard that goes down their chin, he has it going up covering his mouth, Julian didn''t understand this style at all but he was no one to judge on someone''s style as he spends most of his day hiding behind a mask. It might seem fine to him but to others, he just looks suspicious. Drayden looked at his next challenger and just by the way his challenger walked, he could tell that this battle will be a tough one, he has lived for very long and he can easily judge a person just by their physical behavior and he sees the way his new challenger carries himself. The confidence he is emitting is very clear to Drayden and he knows that his challenger is expecting to win this battle, this also made Drayden quite excited for this battle as he also is looking forward to battle a tough opponent. Chapter 838 - Unexpected Development Drayden is looking forward to this battle as he watches his opponent walk down the stairs and on the battlefield, he waited for his opponent to take his spot so that the battle can start. He carefully observed his opponent and noticed that this person is trying very hard to hide his identity, he realized that this person is either very shy and doesn''t like to show their face or doesn''t want unwanted attention. ?? He thought about something and suddenly had a name pop on inside his mind, there were talks between the gym leaders about a trainer who wore a mask andpletely dominated the gym leaders soon the name of Julian was also thrown out saying that it was him. From that day Drayden was waiting for the day to battle against Julian and this wish of him mighte true right now. He suspected this person to be Julian from looking at his stature, only a trainer at Julian''s level could have such aura around them. Drayden "Wee trainer" He weed Julian with a confident smile on his face, Julian looked at the smile and thought Drayden is very confident for this battle and Julian didn''t mind it, he weed the confidence as he didn''t want to battle an opponent who doesn''t have any confidence in winning a battle. This is also the reason why he hides his face, his face alone is the biggest obstacle that someone will have to get through to perform better in front of Julian, his name and his face has a reputation out there and many people want to take down this reputation of his but when the timees, they crumble under the pressure and they go down way faster than they could possibly have stayed on the battlefield. Julian took his ce on the battlefield and waited for Drayden to make his call, he can either start this battle without a referee or call a referee, Drayden waited for the referee toe him, they didn''t have to wait long as a referee walked in with gs in his hand. The referee then took his position and looked at both trainers, he then started stating the rules of this battle. Referee "This will be a three vs three pokemon battle, during the battle only the challenger is allowed to switch his pokemon, the trainer with pokemons remaining with them at the end of the battle will be the winner" The rules were the same as any gym but if a referee is present they would have to state the rules as it ispulsory. Referee "Are the rules ready?" He asked. Julian and Drayden both nodded their head and got ready for the battle. Referee "You may now choose your pokemons" Drayden nodded and made the move first, he took out a Pokeball and tossed it up in the air, the first pokemon of his choice is Druddigon. Julian looked at his first choice and smiled, he then also took out a Pokeball and sent out his first choice as well. Escavalier took the stage and stared at his opponent, a dragon type pokemon, he knows he is resistant to dragon-type moves but he could also tell that the opponent is might have something that could easily counter him and he has to be ready for that moment. As both pokemons were on the battlefield, the referee started the battle. Referee "Let the battle begin" The referee waved his gs and started the battle. Drayden decided to not waste any time and go for the attack right off the bat. Drayden "Druddigon, use Fire Fang" His Druddigon charged at full speed as its jaws were covered with hot mes, as Druddigon was about to get close to Escavalier Julian suddenly felt something and frowned. It was not from Druddigon but something from outside, and just a few seconds before the exchange was about to happen, the whole gym suddenly shook followed by the massive sound of an explosion. Julian was shocked by this sudden development and he is not the only one, Drayden and the referee was also shocked, they tried to get a hold of themselves but before they could even do that, a massive burst of ice wave traveled all across the gym and covered everything in ice, everyone''s legs were trapped inside the hard ice. Julian was shocked by this, the amount of power that needs to pull off such a feat is very taxing and even a champion level pokemon will not be able to pull this off, no matter how hard, maybe if he trained an ice type pokemon to his Garchomp''s level then maybe he could pull this off but he never trained an Ice-type pokemon. But what Julian knows is that this is not done by a pokemon, this was too powerful and too fast for a pokemon even a pokemon that could reach Garchomp''s level, the scale might be the same or even bigger, but the speed was too much. He put some power behind his legs and lifted them off the frozen ice, his pants got ripped and this pissed him, he didn''t expect his pants would rip, and he decided to make the people who did this pay. He looked at Drayden and the referee as they are still struggling to get out of the ice sheet that has trapped them on the ground, even Drayden''s Druddigon is trapped from that Ice sheet and is struggling to get out. Julian [Gengar, get them out] Julian ordered Gengar, suddenly ck shadowy tentacles came out of Julian''s shadow at extreme speed and shattered the ice around everyone''s legs and none of them even noticed it happening, they thought they got out from it themselves. Chapter 839 - Completely Surrounded Drayden got his legs free and looked at his challenger to confirm if he is safe or not, seeing that the challenger ispletely fine he sighed and quickly rushed out of the gym to check out what just happened while his Druddigon followed right behind him. Drayden "Challenger forgive me but we have to postpone this battle, I need to check out what just happened" ?? He said while rushing out, the referee also chased behind Drayden to see what is going on, now Julian is the only one who is left alone inside the gym, he found it weird, why would someone suddenly attack a gym and who could it be. Julian [Gengar go outside and see what is happening while I will stay here to see what is happening] Gengar got out of his shadow and rushed out right behind Drayden and the group, while Julian stayed behind, he found the current situation quite not right. ___________________ Gengar rushed out of the gym right behind Drayden and saw something that surprised him, the whole gym and the area around ispletely covered with ice, he looked around and saw many Team sma members surrounding the area with a lot of pokemons around them, he then looked up as he sensed a very powerful aura from the top. He noticed a massive flying ship floating up in the air, the ship seems to have a massive canon attached to it which is clearly the cause of the current atmosphere, the power being generated behind this cannon is massive, a champion level pokemon will get destroyed if they try to take an attack from this cannon head-on. Even Julian''s Garchomp might struggle to hold up against this ice cannon, his Victini on the other hand could take it down with its fire. Drayden gritted his teeth as he saw his whole gym was surrounded by team sma members, he didn''t expect this at all, he was a little suspicious of Team sma because they were very quiet all of a sudden but now they suddenly attacked out of nowhere catching him by surprise. He saw Team sma members everywhere and he alone cannot take on them, there are more than a hundred of them and it looks like they are here to take over the whole city itself. He made a decision and sent out all his pokemons to fight till the very end, he just had to wait for reinforcement from the league, such big scale attack would not go unnoticed by the league. All his pokemons came out ready to give it their all in this battle. "My, My Gym leader Drayden, you don''t have to be so serious, we came in peace" Drayden suddenly heard a voice, he looked in the direction of the voice and noticed a short old man wearing a purple buffed coat and a big hat over his head walking towards him. Drayden "Who are you?" Drayden asked. "Oh, My bad, forgive the rudeness, my name is Zinzolin, people also call me one of the seven sages" Zinzolin said and smiled while looking at Drayden. Drayden "So the Seven Sages are behind Team sma, no wonder they have expanded to this level" He said with dissatisfaction in his voice. Zinzolin "No, no, no, don''t assume things, I don''t control Team sma, I am just working for their leader, you see, money is a very powerful driving factor" Zinzolin said andughed. Drayden "Why did you do this and what do you want?" Drayden asked. Zinzolin "Why did we do this? Well, the leader of Team sma wanted to send a message to certain someone, and what do we want? We came here for the DNA splicer" Zinzolin said revealing a big smile on his face. Drayden "You want the DNA splicer, you have to take it over my dead body" Zinzolin "Oh my Arceus, you see I am an old man and I don''t like physical violence and blood, I will leave that to these three, while I take a look inside your precious gym" Zinzolin said and signaled someone to step forward, suddenly three people appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Drayden, Drayden looked at these three carefully, they are wearing tight ck suits and have long white hair. Drayden has heard about them, these are none other than the Shadow Triad, they are very strong admins from Team sma and each of them boasts powersparable to an Elite Four member. Zinzolinughed and started to walk forward. Zinzolin "Colress follow me" He said and he called a young tall man wearing sses to follow him, this is none other than the person Julian near the powernt. Colress "Yes sir" He said and followed Zinzolin into the Opelucid gym. Drayden "STOP RIGHT THERE" He shouted and tried to stop him but the members of the Shadow Triad stopped him in his tracks and sent out their pokemons to block his path, Drayden found himselfpletely stuck in this situation as he didn''t know what to do. He waspletely outnumbered and he had no idea on how to stop Zinzolin from getting his hands on the DNA splicer, then he suddenly remembered about his challenger, he looked around and found out that his challenger is still inside the gym. Drayden ''If that person is really the one I think it is, then maybe there is a chance'' He thought and prayed that his challenger is indeed Julian. Chapter 840 - A Massive Fight Drayden is stuck and his pokemons are struggling to fight against all the Team sma goons, the Shadow Triads are very strong and they are pinning down his strongest pokemons while his other pokemons are being grouped by Team sma goons. He couldn''t do anything and just control the situation as best as he can, but things started to get worse, one of his pokemon got knocked out and captured, it was soon followed by another pokemon. ?? This situation is too much for Drayden, the Shadow Triad is stronger than he expected, their pokemons are beyond his level and he clearly has no chance against them, he needs an Elite Four of the Champion to clear out the current situation. Luckily Drayden''s luck was not over, he suddenly heard choppers heading towards his direction, he looked up and saw multiple helicopters that belong to the leagueing towards the gym, seeing them he felt relived while Team sma members had a frown on their face. The helicopter stopped right above the gym and multiple agents zipped down to fight against the Team sma members, soon a massive fight broke out between the agents of the league and Team sma grunts. The situation seemed under control but Drayden''sst pokemon finally caved in as it got hit by a lethal blow from one of the Shadow Triad''s pokemon, just when things were about to go bad, a power methrower came and hit one of the Shadow Triad''s pokemon and knocked it out with just one hit. This caused a shocked reaction from the Shadow Triad as they looked at the direction from where the attack came from, they saw a man wearing a tribal dress, and tied up long orange hairing towards them. This is none other than Alder, the champion of Unova region, he zipped down from the helicopter with his Volcarona right behind him. The Shadow Triad knew that they are not a match for the champion but they had no other choice to take him on and dy him so that Zinzolin and Colress can get the DNA splicer. The Shadow Triad member that had his pokemon knocked out quickly called it back and sent out a new one into battle, Alder looked at the current situation and didn''t say anything, he then looked at the Shadow Triad members that surrounded him and his Volcarona. Alder "Don''t waste my time and call out the ring leader, I don''t like to y around" He said with a very serious tone, after looking at the damage that Team sma member has done to the gym and the areas nearby, he was really angry, many innocent people got caught in the Ice and now the city''s officials are working hard to get them out of the ice. He is also worried about the hovering Team sma ship up in the air, he knows what it can do and he is not confident in his ability to stop another of those Ice sts that caused the current situation. The Shadow Triad didn''t respond to his word and suddenly attacked him, their job was to slow down everyone that tries to interfere, even if that person is the champion himself. Seeing the pathetic attempt from the Shadow Triad to attack him really ticked the wrong side of Alder. Alder "Volcarona, use Fiery Dance" Hearing him his Volcarona suddenly made a move, it got on top of Alder and spread its wings wide as mes burst out of them which released tiny sparkles of mes, soon it started to p its wings and spin around causing those tiny ming particles to move as well. Suddenly the whole scene turned into a massive burning storm that caught all the pokemons that tried to attack it and Alder, the Shadow Triad''s pokemon were swept by the powerful ming storm in one go. None of them even stood a chance against such a powerful attack, their pokemons were blown away and sent flying across the air as they crashed throughout the area. The Shadow Triads were shocked once again, this level of power was something they didn''t expect, even from the champion, his other pokemons didn''t have such power but his Volcarona did as it''s his ace and his most powerful pokemon. It is clearly beyond the champion level, that is why Alder is one of the strongest champions to ever appear in the Unova region, he ranks only behind Leon and Cynthia. The Shadow Triad backed off as they knew they cannot escape. Alder "Where do you think you are going? Volcarona, use String Shot and tie them up" His Volcarona moved quickly and shot a string of sticky silk that tied up the Shadow Triad members and rendered them unmovable. Seeing that the situation was in control Drayden walked towards Alder. Drayden "Champion, one of the members from the Seven Sages, Zinzolin just entered the gym and he is after the DNA splicer, we have to stop them" He said. Alder "DNA splicer? Indeed, we cannot let those guys get their hands on it, lets go" "Stop" Before they could even make a move they were suddenly stopped as an Ice Beamnded right in front of them and froze their feet on the spot. They both were surprised and looked up to see who it was, they then noticed a young man with green hair wearing a cap and a Vanilluxe was right beside him. It is none other than the leader of Team sma N. Alder "Boy, now is not the time to y around, do you know what are you even doing?" N "I know what I am doing, it''s for the better future of all pokemons" Alder "You delusional fool" Alder shouted as he was quite angered at N''s foolishness. Chapter 841 - Following The Two N didn''t take Alder''s words lightly and is really pissed, in his view Alder is the biggest hurdle he has to get through to achieve his dream. N "Today is the day I will defeat you and show you who the strongest trainer really is" ?? He said and suddenly jumped down, his Vanilluxe created an ice slide for him as he slid down to the ground and stood right in front of Alder and Drayden blocking their path. Alder "Boy, you are being used, you don''t know what the outside world is like" N "No need to exin yourselves, I have seen and experienced what you humans do to the pokemons, I will now take the matter into my own hands and deal with it" Alder "I see, there is no way I can get through you, I will have to take you down then" Alder said and signaled his Volcarona to step in, his Volcarona red its wings and suddenly increased the temperature of the area melting away the ice that trapped Alder and Drayden, once their foot got loose Alder stepped in to take on N. Alder "Gym leader Drayden, stay behind you don''t have any pokemons to fight for you right now" Alder said. Drayden didn''t say anything and stepped back he knew when the step back and when to take charge, right now he doesn''t have his pokemons by his side, all of them have been knocked out and the ones that have gained their consciousness are not fully recovered yet. N and Alder face off against each other, while Alder has a lot of confidence in his stance, N is very nervous. He has battled Alder before and lost pretty badly, that is when he realized that he needs to be a lot stronger to take down Alder, he then also lost against an unknown trainer a few months ago that made him realize that he needs to work even harder. And now the time hase to test his skill and see how much he has improved during these few months. Alder "Boy, make your move and don''t disappoint me this time" Alder made the deration as his Volcarona took its stance, N is nervous but he is ready to battle Alder. N "Vanilluxe return" N called Vanilluxe back to its Pokeball and sent out a pokemon he thinks that could take on Alder''s Volcarona. N "Carracosta, you are up" N sent out Carracosta as it is four times resistant to fire type attacks, the perfect pokemon to fight against a fire type pokemon like Volcarona. _______________________ Julian who was inside the gym saw everything that was happening right now outside the gym, with Gengar acting as his eyes he saw everything, as he kept an eye on what is happening outside the gym, he is also following Zinzolin and Colress right now. He hid at a corner when Zinzolin and Colress entered the gym and watched them carefully, he heard about this DNA splicer and wondered what it is, he could easily stop them but he really wanted to figure out what this DNA splicer really is so he decided to follow Zinzolin and Colress. He remembered Colress as he had met him before and told him to fuck off and not cause trouble in the city. He didn''t expect to see this person again, he thought that Colress would leave Team sma after their encounter but he was wrong, but he didn''t think much about it, it looks like even Zinzolin is after the money and with his status, the money that he is being given must be very high. No wonder Colress would want to stick around. If a real leader of Team sma is so rich why wouldn''t a rogue scientist like Colress would not stick around, with so much money he can easily fund Colress''s research. Julian then started to follow the two of them deeper into the gym to find what they are after while still keeping an eye out on what is happening outside the gym. He was surprised to see Drayden being taken down by the Shadow Triad, he then was once again surprised after seeing Aldere and protect Drayden and take out the Shadow Triad. After then he noticed N also arriving in the scene and challenging Alder, Julian was really excited by seeing the current development and he wanted to witness the battle between N and Alder right in front of his eyes but too bad he had to follow the two intruders. Julian then found himself under the gym where Zinzolin and Colress led him to, they both stopped right in front of a massive door made of rock, the door was actually very huge and Julian was surprised by seeing it. He didn''t expect there would be such a thing hiding under the Opelucid gym. He looked at the door and noticed that it was carved with dragon type pokemons, and right in the middle where three pokemons, the pokemon on the right was Reshiram, the pokemon on the left was Zekrom and the pokemon in the middle was Kyurem. This is the first time Julian has ever seen an image of Kyurem and looking at the carving, he could tell that it was indeed a very iplete looking pokemon. Unlike Zekrom and Reshiram, the Kyurem didn''t have fully grown wings, it was as if they had been chopped. Julian ''No wonder the legends depicted Kyurem as an iplete dragon, the one that is looking for something to fulfill itself'' Julian thought to himself as he watched what Zinzolin and Colress are up to. Chapter 842 - Greedy Old Man Julian waited for Zinzolin and Colress to make their move and see what they are after, he just watched as Zinzolin and Colress made preparations. Colress took out some devices from his backpack and started to stick them around the door, he then connected them with a very thin wire, he then stepped back and pressed a button on the remote on his hand, the devices that were attached to the walls started to beep, they beeped three times before going crazy for a second and finally exploding. ?? The explosion didn''t shatter the door but actually made a clean rectangr cut through it, Julian was surprised by this, this device of Colress was able to cut through a thick wall cleanly without causing any cracks. He didn''t continue wasting his time thinking about the device as he noticed Zinzolin and Colress entered through the hole they just made, Julian followed right behind without many any noise. He also entered through the door and soon hid behind a pir as he watched Zinzolin and Colress walk towards the other side of the room where there is an altar and on top of this alter, inside ss case is something Julian found very intriguing. It was a weird shaped object, it looked like a smile triangle-shaped spearhead but it has a small pointy end on the other side as well, and Julian could sense a massive amount of dragon energy from it. He watched as Zinzolin and Colress got right next to it. Zinzolin "So this is it huh?" He asked. Colress "It seems to be, yes" Zinzolin "The DNA splicer, such a beautiful thing, too bad I will not be the one who will be holding onto it" Colress just looked and didn''t say anything. Zinzolin "Now hurry up and take it out" Colress "Yes" He said out and took out a sscutter to pry open the ss case, but to his surprise, his device failed to cut through the ss, it seems to be made up of a bizarre and strong material. Zinzolin "What happened?" Colress "This ss is very strong, I can''t cut it with a regr ss cutter, the ss is very thick, and it seems to be made of a bizarre material." Zinzolin "Get through it, I don''t have much time" He said and looked around to see if there is anything else that could catch his interest, he soon gave up because there was nothing here that caught his interest. Colress then pulled out an Oxy-Acetylene blowtorch to cut through the ss, with this he easily cut through the ss and made a sizable hole enough for the DNA splicer to be picked up, as soon as the cut was done rms went off but there was no one to stop them, Drayden was caught outside with the problem that Team sma has caused. Colress slowly took out the DNA splicer and examined it to see if it is the original one or not. Zinzolin "Now that we have it lets get out of here, I hope things are not too bad outside" He said. Julian "I think you can stay around for a little longer" They both suddenly turned their head when they heard this voice, they knew this voice as they had heard it before and they know the danger that they are in right now. Zinzolin turned around and saw a tall man wearing a brown jacket, mask, and sunsses looking at them, even though this person''s face was covered Zinzolin could tell who this person is. Zinzolin and Colress froze on the spot as they realized they were fucked, they encountered a problem that they never expected to encounter and this problem is something way out of their league, they are as good as dead. Zinzolin "Mr. Julian, long time no see, we were just about to leave so don''t mind us, Colress put the DNA splicer back into the ss case" Zinzolin said with a smile on his face as he instructed Colress to put the DNA splicer back into the ss case, Colress also knew that this is the best option right now and he didn''t question Zinzolin, he just put it back into the ss case and stood behind Zinzolin. Zinzolin "Ok now that the DNA splicer is back to where it should be we will be leaving then, we were just here to take a look and nothing else" He said and tried to walk past Julian but he was suddenly stopped as Julian grabbed his face and pushed him back. Zinzolin ''Fuck, I am so fucked'' He thought as he felt his whole body pushed back without feeling any resistance from the other side. Julian "Come on old man, we met after such a long time, how about we sit down and talk a little bit, I see that you are a sensible guy" Zinzolin "Oh, so you want to talk, I can definitely do that, so what do you want to talk about?" Zinzolin said with a smile while rubbing his thin bony hands, Julian looked at him and was pissed but he didn''t express it. No matter how much of a shady person this old man is in front of him, he is not that badpared to the ones he hase across, this old man is just a greedy bastard who is after the money and nothing else. Julian doesn''t need to waste his time torturing this old man, he would just rather get to know who is behind all of this and deal with it in one go. Chapter 843 - Another Stupid Ambition Julian smiled since Zinzolin agreed to cooperate, he took out a chair and sat down while he let Zinzolin and Colress stand. Julian "You see I don''t have too many questions, just a few of them" ?? He said and smiled as he looked at Zinzolin and Colress''s reaction, he then started his questions as he didn''t see any reaction from Zinzolin or Colress. Julian "So why are you after this DNA splicer and what does it do?" Zinzolin "We were asked to retrieve the DNA splicer by our boss, he wants to use it to take control over the Unova region and then maybe the world, and what does the DNA splicer does, I will let the scientist talk about it" Zinzolin said and looked at Colress. Colress noticed Zinzolin''s gaze and took a deep breath before starting to speak. Colress "DNA splicer can be used to fuse the legendary pokemon Kyurem with one of the two legendary dragons" Julian "Oh, you mean that Kyurem can either fuse with Zekrom and Reshiram?" Colress "Yes, since they were a single pokemon once before, with the DNA splicer a fusion can be achieved" Julian "I see, by fusing Kyurem with either Zekrom or Reshiram, your boss wants to create an even more powerful pokemon to take over Unova?" He asked. Zinzolin "That sums it up" He said. Julian "For fuck sake, another crazy bastard that thinks they can take control over the world after capturing a pokemon, and how does he even n to catch it, is your boss dumb?" Julian asked. He was quite fed up with this organization that went after the legendary pokemons, it was not that these pokemons are not powerful, it was just that these organizations are not powerful enough to handle the legendaries and due to this stupid obsession they hurt a lot of people on the way. Zinzolin and Colress didn''t know what to say, Zinzolin was very clear about this situation with the real leader of Team sma and he knew that this was a bad idea from the start but since the money was very big he just decided to follow orders and nothing else. Other things didn''t matter to him, whether Ghetsis fails or passes, Zinzolin''s life would not change, he would just be richer than before no matter the oue. Zinzolin "Well that is how it is" He said and smiled. Julian "Ok, onest question, who is the real leader of Team sma?" He asked with a serious tone, making sure that this message goes across their head that he is not kidding right now. Zinzolin stood silent for a few seconds before spilling out the beans, he knew that lying is not a good option right now, the young man in front of him is a dangerous man. Zinzolin "His name is Ghetsis, the leader of the Seven Sages" Julian "I see, the leader of the of Seven Sages, Ghetsis. Why don''t you deliver this message to Ghetsis, just disband Team sma and go into hiding so that he won''t cause much trouble to my life" Zinzolin "Of course, I will deliver this message of yours" Julian "Well first you have to get away from here, don''t worry I won''t do anything, the real problem is outside the gym" Julian said and smiled. Zinzolin frowned as he heard Julian. Zinzolin "Ok then I will be leaving, it was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Julian" He said and walked past Julian and this time Julian didn''t stop him. Julian "Colress right?" Julian suddenly asked. Colress stopped and looked at Julian. Julian "I see a potential rtionship in the future between us, don''t get in trouble and I might strike you a deal in the future" Julian said. Colress smiled and nodded at Julian. Colress "Thankyou I will be careful" He said and walked away with Zinzolin. As he sat on the chair he waited for the footsteps of Zinzolin and Colress to fade away, once he couldn''t hear anything he got up from the chair and walked towards the DNA splicer. He walked up the stairs and got on top of the altar and looked at the DNA splicer that was kept inside the ss case, he reached out and grabbed it and took a look at it. As he grabbed on to the DNA splicer, he felt a gush of powerful energy pulsing through his body, he could feel the powerful dragon energying from it, the energy was so pure and powerful, even his Garchomp''s aura would pale inparison to it. He tried to study it but he couldn''t so he decided to let his best weapon handle it, his system. Julian "System, analyze this DNA splicer and find out how does it work" System ''OK, task received, taking sample'' He heard a voice and an energy wave came out of his body and surrounded the DNA splicer and started to collect samples. System ''Sample collected, the task is now being executed'' He heard this and the system went silent just like before, Julian then put the DNA splicer back to the ss case and decided to walk out and take care of the situation outside. Chapter 844 - Alder Vs N Outside the gym, N and Alder are standing in front of each other ready for the other person to make a move. Alder could tell that the boy in front of him has improved a lot and he wants to see if the improvement will matter in this battle. ?? N being the younger one got bored of the waiting game and made the first move. N "Carracosta, use Hydro Pump" His Carracosta sted a powerful burst of Hydro Pump at Alder''s Volcarona, Alder "Counter with Bug Buzz" Alder''s Volcarona clearly being the stronger special attacker here released a powerful wave of bug energy that shed and distorted the Hydro Pump and made itpletely useless, the water just lost all its power and momentum before falling on the ground. Alder "Volcarona, use String Shot and swing it around" Volcarona is fast and it got behind Carracosta within seconds and used String Shot, the strong sticky stringtched onto the shell of Carracosta tightly, now with Carracosta under its control, Volcarona lifted it up in the air and started to swing it around everywhere. It then mmed the Carracosta on the ground with immense force causing the ground to shatter which caused rubbles to fly everywhere, the sticky silk also snapped as the force was too much for it to handle. Alder smiled as he saw this, this move has put so many of his opponent''s pokemon to sleep but he was surprised when he saw N Carracosta get back to its feet. It looks like it used its hard shell as protection, it hid its head and arms inside its shell when Volcarona smashed in on the ground, Alder figured out that this Carracosta has a ridiculous defense, to tank that hit from his Volcarona, it is not something even other champion level pokemons can do. Alder is impressed but the battle isn''t over N''s Carracosta just survived one hit. N "Carracosta, use Rock Slide" N decided to go for moves that will deal even more damage to Volcarona, since it is four times weak to Rock-type attacks, Rock Slide can deal serious damage to Volcarona and its physical defense is also not very good. Carracosta hurled a lot of massive rocks at Volcarona. Alder saw the danger and quickly made his move as well. Alder "Volcarona counter with hurricane" Volcarona let out a cry and started to p its wings hard, the winds started to go crazy as everything started to get lifted off the ground, the iing rocks thrown by Carracosta were also stopped in their tracks as the Hurricane was just too powerful. Alder finally showed his full power, the power of the Hurricane sent the rocks back to Carracosta as they hit it hard, Carracosta was then hit by the wild winds and lifted off the ground, it tried to protect itself by going inside its shell but that didn''t work, the wild winds entered through the shell''s opening and dealt damage. Carracosta was sent flying up high in the sky by the Hurricane, it then came down very fast due to the help of gravity and crashed on the ground causing another crater on the ground. N "This is not over, Carracosta, use Stone Edge" The fallen Carracosta suddenly pulled out its head and arms from the ground and mmed its arms into the ground, suddenly massive glowing rocks ripped through the ground and charged at Volcarona, Volcarona was not fast enough this time and got hit by the powerful rock and was sent flying through the air and then crashing into the ground. Alder was surprised by this again, he thought that the battle would have ended after that Hurricane but Carracosta was able to still pull out a move out of nowhere and hit his Volcarona. He looked at his Volcarona and realized that it got hurt by that attack, it was indeed something his Volcarona can take once again, his Volcarona is indeed strong but its defense is its worst enemy, a powerful rock type attack like Stone Edge could have finished off any pokemon with four times weakness to it but his Volcarona is still not out. Alder realized he cannot look down on this kid any longer, he was as strong as him and has a chance to defeat him in a fair battle, in this short amount of time N has improved a lot. Alder''s Volcarona got back in the air as it shook away the pain it is going through right now. Alder "Can you continue?" He asked to which his Volcarona nodded. Alder "Alright then, N, I will have to admit you have indeed be very strong but today is not the day you will defeat me and you won''t seed on your mission today" N "I don''t need your praise, today you will go down old man" Alder "Alright then, give it your best shot" Alder said andughed, it has been a long time since he faced an opponent that could challenge him. "N we have to leave, mission failed" N suddenly heard a voice from behind telling him that the mission has failed, he turned around to see Zinzolin and Colress rushing out of the gym in a hurry. N "What happened, where is the DNA splicer" Zinzolin "It''s not the time to ask questions, we have to get out of here right now or we will be in big trouble" Zinzolin said and looked around and he was surprised to see the champion of the Unova region here as well. Zinzolin "Looks like things are already very bad, let''s go" Zinzolin said and took out a small remote and pressed a button, suddenly three drones shot out of the ship that was hovering above the ground and picked up, Zinzolin, Colress, and N and lifted them up in the air. N "I am not done yet, I don''t need the DNA splicer to defeat him" N said. Zinzolin "It doesn''t matter even if you defeat Alder, there is someone even more dangerous than him inside the gym" Zinzolin said. Alder "You are not going anywhere" Zinzolin "Haha, you can''t stop me" Zinzolin said and pressed another button on the remote which suddenly caused an energy fluctuation that caught everyone''s attention, they all looked up and saw that the ship that is floating up in the air is gathering energy. Chapter 845 - Black Hole Sensing the power being gathered inside the ice cannon attached to the ship, Alder''s eyes shrank from fright as he knew this was too much for him or his pokemons, they cannot counter it no matter how many pokemons he brings out. Zinzolin, Colress, and N were carried back to the ship, and as soon as they got inside the ship the cannon released its ice st and the ship started to leave without waiting for anyone, the team sma grunts who were still up and fighting saw this and decided to make an escape, they caused multiple explosions with smoke bombs and ran away leaving the fallen ones behind. ?? Alder looked at the iing attack and knew he has to do something. Alder "Volcarona, use Fire st full power" Alder didn''t waste any time and asked his Volcarona to go all out against the Fire st, his Volcarona spread its wings wide releasing small fire particles while doing so, the atmosphere around them started to change as things started to get hot very fast. The Ice on the ground started to melt in an instant and people around the area started to sweat from the heat instantly, all of them wiped the sweat off their foreheads, neck, and arms and watched the current scene taking ce. Their eyes blinded by the bright light from the fire surrounding Volcarona, once Volcarona was finally charged up itunched it at the iing Ice st aimed at it. The Fire st that was released was massive and burning hot, it traveled very fast soon reaching close to the Ice st. The two energies finally collided, when they first made contact there was a sound of sizzling traveling through the air and into everyone''s ears, this sizzling was very loud, and people all over the city could hear it, it was very clear that something was being burnt very rapidly. Alder saw that the Fire ze was of some effect as it seems to have blocked the Ice st in its path but suddenly his hope turned into a nightmare as the Ice st didn''t stop, it tore right through the Fire st leaving a hole right in the middle. The Fire st disappeared into the atmosphere and the Ice st still continued down at extreme speed, all this happened under a few seconds and nobody was able to evenprehend what just happened. They just stared as the Ice st got closer and all hope was lost, they just hoped that they just get frozen and no one dies. Julian [Gengar take care of it, use ck Hole] Julian saw what was happening as he walked outside the gym, Gengar moved so fast and appeared in front of the Ice st, nobody even realized how a Gengar got here, they were surprised to see a Gengar appear out of nowhere. But what happened next surprised them. They saw this Gengar create a ck circle in thin air, well its shape is actually a sphere but because it is so ck that people cant see its area at all, it looks like a 2D object in a 3D world, this ball was so ck that even light had a hard time escaping it, the surrounding light was being sucked in as well, this is a new move Julian and Gengar came up with, Julian called it ck Hole because it acts like one. Luckily this version is not strong as a real ck hole that can be found in the expanding universe, this is just a very weak one, enough to suck in a half a region inside it if Gengar wanted to. As the Ice st came near the ck hole its speed suddenly elerated as it got sucked in by immense force, soon the long powerful beam of Ice disappeared into thin air leaving only the Gengar and its tiny ck sphere which is just floating in the air trying to suck in light itself. Gengar waved his hand and the ck Hole disappeared leaving no trace behind and light returned to the ce. People are shocked by this development, they looked at the Gengar is shock and horror, how could a pokemon be so strong? They wondered. They then saw the Gengar heading towards the gym''s entrance and enter into the shadow of a person wearing a mask and sunsses. When Drayden saw this person he sighed in relief, his prayers hade true, there could only be one person who would be in possession of such a powerful Gengar, that is none other than Julian. When Alder saw the man in the mask, he smiled in relief as well, he didn''t expect Julian was here as well, now that he thought about it, no wonder Zinzolin and Colress made a run for their life, entangling with Julian is the worst mistake they could make. They are in the outside world where the league''s rules and regtions don''t matter and Julian also doesn''t have to hold back to destroy his opponents, he could just use his most powerful pokemon to destroy his enemies. Zinzolin was smart and he made a run for his life. Alder understood this, he felt lucky, he and Drayden then walked towards Julian to thank him. Alder "Mr. Julian, I am really grateful that you were here and took care of the threat as well" Julian "I had to step in or the innocent people would have been hurt" He said. Drayden "Mr. Julian, about the DNA splicer" Julian "No need to worry, they left them where it belonged, but you will have to rece the ss case and the door to the room, they destroyed that" He said in a casual tone. Drayden "Thank Arceus" He said and sighed. Chapter 846 - Who Is He? Since Julian has secured the DNA splicer, Drayden and Alder have nothing to worry about. Julian "Looks like I won''t be getting my pokemon battle any soon" ?? He said as he looked around, the whole ce was covered in ice, and to remove it all, it will take some time as removing the ice without damaging the structures that are around is really hard. Some homes around the gym have beenpletely frozen and people are being rescued right now, people were covered in ice, luckily the league moved fast and along with the police they got to work and remove people from Ice. Till now there has been no case of death or severe injury, the only thing that these people are feeling is cold and nothing else. Drayden "Yes, it looks like it has to be postponed" Drayden said. Julian "Then I will be leaving I will look around the city" Alder "Take care" Julian "You too" He finally bid his farewell to Drayden and Alder and left, he really didn''t expect something like this would happen today. He had been keeping up on the news and making sure to learn about everything Team sma does but they were very quiet, Julian didn''t like how quiet they were but he couldn''t do anything about it, their members had gone into hiding so he couldn''t search and ask their either. What he didn''t expect was that they would attack when he was about to challenge hisst gym and that too attack the gym itself, they were very unlucky to choose this day to attack. He returned back to his hotel room and decided to meditate to clear up his head, he has already sent a message to the leader of Team sma, Ghetsis, to stop whatever he is up to but Julian knows how this all turns out. These old men are too arrogant and egoistic to believe that someone can end them and then they will make a terrible decision which will piss Julian off and it will then fast-track their own destruction. ____________________ In the sky of Unova, a massive floating ship with a massive ice cannon attached to it is heading towards Virbank City, southwest of Unova. Inside the ship, N could be seen sitting on a chair and from the look on his face, one could tell that he is really angry. N "Why did we have to leave, I almost had Alder defeated" He said. Zinzolin "It wouldn''t have mattered even if you defeated Alder, there was an even more dangerous person inside, that is why we abandoned the DNA splicer and escaped" N "Who?" Zinzolin "You have already met him, the person that defeated you in Nimbasa city" N "Him? Who is he really?" Zinzolin "You don''t know much about him since you spend all your time with pokemons in your castle, this person''s name is Julian, and he is none other than the former champion of Kanto" N "You said former so he was defeated before?" Zinzolin "No, he has never been defeated, he just gave away the title of the champion because he didn''t want it" N "Why would someone do that?" N asked. He knows how much authority and power a champion has in his or her region that is why he wanted to bring down Alder and defeat him, which will help him bring down the league as well. To N giving away the title ispletely stupid. Zinzolin "He called it a burden that he didn''t want" N "A burden?" Zinzolin "You don''t know much, being a champion of the region is not an easy job, a lot more goes into it and that is why they also have so much power" He said. N "So how strong is this Julian?" He asked. Zinzolin "Let''s just say that no one in Unova can defeat him" He said. N felt silent as he wondered about Julian, he became interested in Julian, he wondered why Julian would abandon his title of the champion, how much of a burden can it really be, N is very innocent, he doesn''t know how the world really works, Ghetsis has made sure that N doesn''t get influenced by anything from the outside world. Anything that N knows is thought to him by Ghetsis so he has been trained for a very young age, N''s name is even named after Ghetsis full name and N thinks of Ghetsis as his father. Zinzolin knew that he cannot talk much about the outside world with N because of Ghetsis. After hours of traveling the flying ship finally arrived near Virbank city, the ship thennded on top of a in grass field, suddenly the ground shook and the area that the ship was on started to go down. Once the ship was fully underground anotheryer ofnd covered it from the top leaving the ce exactly as before, as if nothing happened here at all. Zinzolin, Colress, and N walked out of the ship, the Team sma grunts that were working around saluted them as they passed through. They then walked in front of a massive door which opened after Zinzolin inputted his biometrics on the scanner, they walked in and saw Ghetsis and a very hot woman talking with each other, Ghetsis was wearing his usual dress, the long coat, and a massive staff next to him. While the hot blonde woman next to him is wearing a very tight suit that showed her curves, her hair was tied up in a bun and she is also wearing sses, this girl is the newestwyer that was hired by Ghetsis. And it looks like they are discussing something very important. Chapter 847 - The Perfect Bait? Ghetsis noticed Zinzolin, Colress, and N walked in, he noticed that N didn''t seem regrpared to how he usually is. Ghetsis "What happened?" ?? He asked as he signaled the blonde woman next to him to stop doing her work and move aside, she didn''t say anything and walked two steps back with her files and looked at the three that just entered the room. Ghetsis didn''t ask her to leave because she has earned her trust and for her earning the trust of someone is very easy. Zinzolin "Mission failed, we couldn''t get the DNA splicer" He said and took a seat and sighed. Ghetsis "Why?" Zinzolin "Well everything was going well, the Ice Cannon worked, N had Alder under control but someone unexpected showed up and stopped us" Ghetsis "Who?" Zinzolin "Well who could force me to run other than the person who blew up the other headquarters" Zinzolin said with a smile. Ghetsis "It''s him again" Ghetsisshed out and mmed his hand on the table in anger. Zinzolin "To be honest we are just very unlucky, we even got our hands on the DNA splicer but who knew that he was following us from behind, we had no choice to put it back" He said while shaking his head. Ghetsis "Don''t tell me you didn''t even try?" Zinzolin "Hahaha, try you say? Don''t you remember what happened thest time I faced him, he ragged doll my pokemon all across the room, that poor thing was hospitalized for a month, and our partnership isn''t strong enough for me to risk my life for your goals" Zinzolin said. Ghetsis just gritted his teeth. Zinzolin "Ah, I totally forgot, he said to deliver a message to you, stop doing whatever you are up to and it will save both his and your time, you don''t get into trouble and he will be able to enjoy his time in Unova" He said with a grin on his face. In fact, Zinzolin was enjoying this, he wondered how deep has Ghetsis falling into his own shit and will he be able to get out of it. Ghetsis "Hmph, I see, if I can''t hurt him directly, I will make him suffer mentally, you can leave now, N go back to your castle and train, you need to be strong enough to catch Zekrom" N "I know" N said and was the first one to leave, Colress had nothing to say so he also left, thest one to leave was Zinzolin, he left whileughing. This really ticked Ghetsis off but he cannot do anything about Zinzolin, in terms of power and influence they were both equal, he was only the leader of the Seven Sages because the other six agreed to it, If they want they could remove him from this position whenever they want. The only thing he has more than any other sage is his money, he has so much money that he can feed the whole of Unova for years and still have enough to live a luxurious life without any regret. Ghetsis "Ba, I can trust you right?" He asked while looking at the seductive blondiewyer that he has hired. Ba "Of course sir, anything you ask, I will make it possible" She said and gave out her seductive smile and it was quite effective, there has been no one that this hot mess has not conquered, Ghetsis was a tough pray but she got close to him as well, she knew how to work her charm. She first studied her pray, exploit their weakness and then strike, like this she has gotten many benefits from these rich and powerful people she traps, Ghetsis was clearly the hardest one for her but she was able to get close to him. Close enough that he trusted her with Team sma''s main database and very important funding routes, Ba or her real name Ang is the spy that Giovanni has nted, he wanted her to get into Team sma, infiltrate the rankings, exploit their weakness and hand them over to Julian so that he can finish off the organization once and for all. Ghetsis "Good, I want you to find out about this Julian and see what are his weakness and who does he care for, once you are done, report to me, I am going to give him a massive surprise" He said with a grim smile on his face. There was also a smile on Ang''s face as well, she didn''t expect such massive bait to fall right in her hands, now she can really fast track the destruction of Team sma, and no one will ever suspect her. Ghetsis "But firste here" He said and extended his hand, Ang smiled and walked towards him, he suddenly grabbed her waist and started to rub her soft and th thighs, she giggled very subjectively causing Ghetsis to get aroused. He then tried to move his hands up her skirt and touch her pussy but she suddenly stopped him. Ba/Ang "Ah~ah, not now, as you promised, once you be the emperor of Unova and make me your queen, then I will let you have me and do everything you want to me" She said while bringing her juicy lips very close to Ghetsis''s lips while slowly rolled her finger down his cheek before kissing him on the cheek and walking away. She shook her hips from left to right giving Ghetsis a good view of what he wants, Ghetsis stared at her ass and gulped down. Ghetsis "You will be mine" He whispered. Ange has really gotten inside his head, well Julian had actually made her job really easy, with all the stress that he put Ghetsis through, she was able to seduce him a lot faster than she expected, at first he even tried to force himself into her. But she had some tricks up her sleeve, she used her Zoroark to put Ghetsis in a situation where he was tied on his bed and she who is Ba to him is ying with his dick and sucking on it, and she made sure that it was the best thing that has ever happened to him. After putting him in such a trance, the rest of it was very easy, with his metal state broken down from all the tension, it didn''t take long before she started to get into his head and whenever he tried to force her, she would remind him of the false promise that she made in his own illusion. Chapter 848 - Angelas Plan Ghetsis asked his new infatuation who he thinks is Ba to find more about Julian and his weakness, there was no way Ang was going to miss this. She quickly got in contact with her sources and looked around to find who Julian care about the most and it didn''t take her too long, she already knew that Julian has multiple girlfriends. ?? She then contacted her sources to find out about the three of them, she knew that she cannot target Cynthia, she is a monster on her own, it would be a disaster to target her. She then focused on Chloe and Daisy, they were clearly seen as the weaker once among Julian''s girlfriend, not much is known about them, except Chloe being a very famous actress and Daisy being a top-notch Pokemon groomer, both of them are respected in their field very much. Maybe their fame is also rted to them being with Julian and everyone wants to impress them and get on their good side, since who doesn''t want to be on the good side of people rted to Julian. Her sources contacted her back and told her something that got her interested, she was informed that both Daisy and Chloe areing to Unova, she decided to use this as a bait to pull Julian closer to Team sma''s destruction. After getting all the information on Daisy and Chole and when they will arrive at Unova, she headed back to Ghetsis to inform him about his target. Ang/Ba "Sir, I think I have something that might be of interest to you" She said and walked in with a tablet in her hand. Ghetsis "What is it?" He asked. Ang/Ba "You told to me find a weakness in Julian and I think I found two" She said with a smile and showed Ghetsis the photo of two beautiful women. Ghetsis "Who are they?" He asked. Ang/Ba "They are his girlfriends and they seem to being to Unova" Ghetsis looked at the photo and revealed a sinister smile. Ghetsis "Send some assassin and kill one of them, make sure the other one survives to deliver a message that if hees after me, the other one will die as well" Ang smiled, she knew that Ghetsis is making a huge mistake targeting Julian''s girlfriends but this is what she wanted him to do. Ang/Ba "As you wish" She said and walked away with a smile on her face, she felt a p on her butt, she turned around and gave Ghetsis a seductive smile before walking out of the room. Ghetsis also smiled, he believed this will make Julian scared enough to note after him, too bad he really doesn''t know much about Julian, he was too busy with stuff rted to things in Unova he never cared to look into what is happening in other regions. Ang walked out of Ghetsis''s office and went into her own room and took out a special phone from between her breast, she always keeps this phone close to her because it is used formunicating with Giovanni. She then called Giovanni to inform him about her n. Her call was picked up on the other side and was answered by another woman, the one who answered is none other than Giovanni''s assistant Matori. Matori "Beta?" Ang "Yes, I have updates on the mission, hand the phone over to the boss" Matori didn''t say anything, soon Ang heard Giovanni''s voice. Giovanni "Yes, what do you have for me?" He asked. Beta "Boss, Team sma''s end is very near" Giovanni "What did you do?" He asked and Ang started to tell what happened and how Ghetsis reacted, after listening to the whole thing Giovanni had a big smile on his face. Giovanni "You did good and continue with your n, but be careful, Julian is a double edge sword, if he knows that you tried to use him, you might never be able to contact us ever again" He gave her a very cold warning. Hearing him Ang felt a chill down her spine as he remembered what Julian is really capable of, for a few minutes she was so excited about her n that she forgot what she has been messing with. Ang "Yes boss I will be careful" She said and ended the call before nning on how to survive the mess that she is going to cause in Team sma. She made some ns and contacted another person she had control over, this person she called is a top-notch hacker and seducing him and turning him into aplete work ve was very easy for her. As soon as this man got Ang''s call, he picked it up in a second. Hacker "Miss, do you have any request?" He asked while breathing heavily. Ang "Yes, I want you to find out the champion Julian''s phone number and send it too me" Hacker "Don''t worry miss, I will get you that number as soon as possible" Ang "Wow, you are such a good guy, thanks for the help" Hacker "Hehe, anything for you miss" He said and tried to talk to her a little more but she ended the call right after that. To Ang''s surprise, she only had to wait for five minutes before she was sent a number from the hacker, she smiled and saved the number, and sent a text message to Julian. [The leader of Team sma, Ghetsis is nning to assassinate one of your girlfriends when theye to Unova, be careful] After sending the message she smiled, she knew what she was doing and she is confident in her ways and if she does end up cornered, there is still onest trick she has up the sleeve that has never failed her. Chapter 849 - Infatuated But Sane As Julian was sitting on top of the bed with his eyes closed and meditating, he was suddenly distracted from his phone''s notification, he ignored the notification and continued to meditate. After hours of meditating he finally opened his eyes and looked at his phone to see what is going on, he then noticed that he has received a message from an unknown number. ? ? He clicked on the message and read it. [The leader of Team sma, Ghetsis is nning to assassinate one of your girlfriends when theye to Unova, be careful] Reading the message a frown appeared on his face as he wondered who sent this message to him? Julian ''If this message is true that Ghetsis is asking to die'' Julian thought as his eyes went cold and his suppressed killing instinct red up all of a sudden, there was one thing that Julian didn''t like and that was someone threatening his loved ones. Infernape who was connected to him by soul felt this anger even inside his Pokeball and he became agitated and angry as well, Gengar who was hiding in Julian''s shadow felt this as he realized that someone seriously messed up, Crystal who was sleeping peacefully on the side suddenly woke up and looked at Julian. It then floated on top of his head and sat down on his nose and patted his forehead to calm him down, Julian saw this and couldn''t help but smile, this little guy was always there to calm him down. Julian "You can go back to sleep" Julian said while rubbing Crystal''s chin and put him back on the small basket turned bed for Crystal. Julian "If this is true then I should warn Chloe and Daisy beforehand" Julian was actually not really worried about their safety at all because they have his Gardevoir and Flygon with them and Julian has been keeping a constant update on their growth and they are clearly very strong, even stronger than his Garchomp and Victini right now, even without Julian with them they continued to follow his training and grew stronger. They could stop any assassination attempts on Daisy and Chloe, the thing that bothered Julian most was the idea of someone even thinking about killing them. He took out his phone and called Chloe and Daisy. "Darling" As soon as he called, the phone was picked and he heard an excited voice from the other side. Julian "Chloe, how are you?" He asked. Chloe "I am fine" Julian "How is Daisy and what is she doing?" Chloe "She is still at work" Julian "I see" Chloe "So why did you call?" Julian "Well I just received a message from an anonymous source that someone is trying to assassinate you guys when you arrive in Unova to hurt me, I just wanted to give you a heads up about it" Chloe "Who is this person, so bold to im our lives?" She asked, and from her voice, it was obvious that she really didn''t take this seriously, it''s not that she didn''t expect the attack, she already knows the oue of it, during the time she has spent with Gardevoir and Flygon, she knows what kind of monsters they are, and throughout the time they have disyed their effectiveness. Once Flygon stopped a crazy fan who was very hostile towards Chloe, he not only destroyed the hostile crazy fan but also buried him six feet deep underground and Flygon didn''t even go all out. Julian "He is a nobody, just make sure that Gardevoir and Flygon are with you outside of their Pokeball" Chloe "Don''t worry, they are always with us" She said and smiled, even though Julian didn''t say much she could tell he is still a little worried about them. Julian "So when will you be here?" Chloe "Day after tomorrow, afternoon" Julian "Ok, I will be waiting" With that Julian ended the call and looked back at the message that was sent to him, he wondered who sent this message. Julian ''System track down this number'' System ''Ok'' The System can do many things and tracking down a number was a very easy job. System ''Match found. The device is near Virbank city, the user''s sex and their name is not found, the number seems to be a special one'' The System said. Even though Julian didn''t get the name or sex of this person, it was still enough, his system was able to pinpoint the exact location and from what he could see, this ce was right outside Virbank city. Julian ''I hope I can find Ghetsis here'' He thought. __________________ Back at the Virbank Team sma headquarters, Ghetsis finished his work and called for Ba/Ang. Ghetsis "Bae to my office" He announced. Ba soon entered his office and wondered why he is calling. Ang/Ba "What is it, sir?" Ghetsis "I will be leaving, I need to fast forward my n, I will leave this ce under your charge, make sure that nothing goes wrong" Ang was taken back by this but she didn''t say anything. Ang "By the way sir, where are you going?" Ghetsis "To hunt down Kyurem" He said and got up from his chair and walked towards the door, he suddenly stopped and looked at her. Ghetsis "Ah, I forgot to mention, send out hired assassins, no one from Team sma should be near the assassination area" Ang "Yes sir" Saying so he finally left leaving Ang all alone, she didn''t expect this at all, she made a mistake, she didn''t think Ghetsis would ask for hired assassins, even though he was infatuated with her he was still able to make sane decisions. Ang ''Looks like I have to find another way to put Ghetsis in Julian''s path'' She thought, even though her n was to bring Julian here and destroy Ghetsis along with this headquarter, she didn''t expect Ghetsis to not use his own men and without his own men on the job, Julian will have no clue on where to find the headquarters. But her n didn''t failpletely, now it had motivated Julian to get rid of Team smapletely. Chapter 850 - A Different One Julian decided to check out this ce from where the message was sent. Since he has to wait for his battle against Drayden and his girlfriends are noting any soon either he decided to check it out and destroy the Team sma headquarters if he finds one. His main focus is to find this messenger and ask them why did they take the risk to inform him about this, if Ghetsis finds out about this, whoever sent him this message is as good as dead. ?? He looked out and saw that it was already night so he decided to head out tomorrow early in the morning and went to sleep. _________________ The next morning he woke up refreshed and headed out of the hotel room, he had to make it to Virbank city fast because his girlfriends areing back tomorrow, he could wait for his girlfriends but he is also worried that he might not be able to catch this messenger if he takes his time. With his current pokemons, he cannot reach Virbank city within a day, he then thought about his options and walked up the hotel''s roof, once he got there he took out a flute from his pouch. Julian "I haven''t used this one for quite a while" He said while looking at the Eon Flute in his hand, this flute was given to him by Latios in Hoenn when he saved him and Latias and also befriended them. He blew the flute which released a very faint tone that couldn''t be heard by normal ears, he put the flute away and looked around to see if Latioses or not. He suddenly heard a sonic boom from far away, he looked in the direction and noticed a Latiosing towards him, the Latios stopped right in front of him and looked at him with a confused look. Julian also looked at this Latios and realized that this Latios is not the one he befriended in Hoenn, this one is apletely new one who seems to live in Unova. Julian smiled as he knew he has to be friendly towards this new Latios and befriend it, it would be that hard because he has the Eon flute. The Latios noticed the eon flute in Julian''s hand and suddenly got closer to him in a friendly manner, a human having an Eon flute could only mean one thing and that is he or she has befriended another Latios or Latias before. Not just anyone could get an Eon Flute and it can be only given to a human by either Latios or Latias, many people tried to find the flute just so that they could contact Latios or Latias but they were never sessful. Seeing the Eon Flute in Julian''s hand, this Latios knew that Julian is not a danger, it got close and let Julian rub his head, Julian smiled. The Eon Flute was indeed a great item, he didn''t expect a new Latios toe to him when he blew the flute but it didn''t really matter, even a weak Latios is way faster than any normal pokemon at flying. Julian "I need your help, can you take me to Virbank city?" He asked to which Latios nodded his head and turned his back to Julian and signaled him to get on his back, Julian jumped on Latios''s back and held on tightly because he knows he is going to experience whish. As he held on tight, what he expected did happen, his head tried to snap back but he made sure to not experience the whish and held on tight, his vision blurred so he quickly surrounded himself with omniforce to not fell the drag of the air. He opened his eyes again and saw things fly by before he could evenprehend what it was, he looked down and saw him passing over Opelucid city, it didn''t take them even a minute before were past Opelucid city. Latios continued to fly very fast, Julian is really impressed by this, even though this Latios is not as strong as the one in Hoenn it is still very fast, faster than any of his pokemons. It only took an hour for Julian to reach Virbank city, Julian didn''t enter Virbank city but asked Latios to drop him close to the point where his GPS tracker was pointing at, after Latios dropped him off he asked Latios to go. Latios left leaving Julian all alone in the massive open field. Julian looked at his phone to which his system is connected. Julian "It looks like I am standing right on the marker" Julian ''System, is there an underground base?'' He asked. The System started to scan the area and soon gave a yes for an answer. Julian ''Looks like my guess was right, this is another headquarters of Team sma, looks like I have to find a way to get in, just breaking with force will alert the ones inside, I should find another way to deal with this'' He thought and decided to bring out his personal spy, Gengar. Chapter 851 - Lock The Room Gengar came out of Julian''s shadow and looked at him with a grin. Julian "Go underground and scale the whole headquarters, and try to find a way for me to get inside without getting detected" ?? Gengar "Gegegege" Gengarughed and went right through the ground while Julian walked to the side to hide from unwanted eyes. He shared his vision with Gengar and saw what he saw. __________________ Gengar''s body became translucent and went right through the ground and entered an underground facility. As soon as Gengar entered he saw two big Team sma members guarding the entrance, not only are these two guys big and have pokemons beside them, they are also carrying guns for extra defense, even though guns are not as useful as Pokemons, they are still very useful to humans who have very little defense against pokemons. They are strong enough to take down pokemons that are below the elite level. Gengar grinned while looking at them, he wondered if he should mess around with them or not, he thought for a second and decided to leave them alone for now, bothering them might alert others. He then went forward and started to scan the area, he saw many Team sma grunts walking around, talking to each other, smiling,ughing, bullying, doing everything normal people would be. Gengar also noticed that everyone here carried a weapon with them, it looks like the security has been improved a lot, Julian also noticed this and wondered if they improved their security after he destroyed their other headquarters. Gengar finished scanning over the whole headquarters and entered the main office, as he entered he saw a blond woman sitting on the chair, chewing gum in her mouth and looking at her phone, Gengar looked at her and giggled, he then continued to look around the room to see if there are anyone other than her in the room. Julian who was watching through Gengar''s eyes was surprised by who he saw, when he saw the very hot blond woman, he realized that he had seen her somewhere before. He tried to recall before finally remembering who this woman is. Julian ''Wait, I know her, she was one of the admins from the Shadow Legion, what is she doing here?'' He thought as he looked at the hot blond, he also had to admit that her charm was not something even he could ignore, the first time he saw her it was from very far away and she was trying to escape so he didn''t get a good look at her. But now he could clearly see all of her, her soft th legs, her plum breast squeezed tight by her coat, her seductive soft lips. Julian ''Looks like she is the only admin present here'' Julian [Gengare back but first, lock that woman inside that room, I need to have some word with her, and for the rest of the goons, put them to sleep] Gengar got the message and looked at the whole who is blowing her bubble and checking her phone, he then went to the doors andpletely sealed them all leaving nothing behind, he even found the hidden doors andpletely froze them so they couldn''t be open. And the hot blond has no idea that she has been locked in this room. Gengar then started his mission to put everyone to sleep, he encountered a group of grunts patrolling the area but before they could do anything, they suddenly felt something hitting their head, and all of them were knocked out in a second. The shadow tentacles then returned back into the shadows as nothing happened, suddenly another ground of grunts walked in and noticed the fallen grunts, one of them suddenly took out a remote and pressed a button before the shadow tentacles could take them out. As soon as the grunt hit the button, they got knocked out but the rm was set off alerting everyone. Suddenly panic broke loose and every grunt rushed towards the area where the button was pressed, groups of grunts rushed in with their guns and pokemon but when they got there they saw a ck shadow standing there with its back turned around. They all stopped as they sensed the dangering from the ck specter, they all pointed their guns at the ck specter while the pokemons started to charge up their moves to attack. They then noticed the ck specter is slowly turning around, they all took a step back as they noticed the crimson eyes of the ck specter and a massive scary grin on its face. Seeing this sent a shiver down their spine and all of them suddenly started to ze bullets at the ck specter while the pokemons also sted their attacks. A massive explosion urred causing the while base to shake. And when the smoke cleared up they noticed the ck specter still standing there with a grin on its face. Gengar "GEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGE" Hisugh caused them to fear like never before, they decided to abandon their weapons and run, not giving a crap about the protection of the headquarters. Chapter 852 - Trapped Inside Every grunt present in the room backed off as they tried to escape from the dark horrifying specter, they threw away their gear to make themselves faster but as they tried to escape, they suddenly realized that they couldn''t move their legs. They looked down in fear as their legs felt very heavy as if they were trapped in thick wet mud, as they looked down to check their legs they found their legs surrounded by a ck substance that was moving around. ?? This ck substance looked like slime and felt like it but it isn''t slime, they tried to move their legs but it was of no use, they started to scream in horror and turn their heads to look back at the ck specter to see if it is approaching them or not. Gengar just stood there and let out his evilugh, just hearing thisugh caused multiple people to faint from their fear, the fainted ones suddenly started to get engulfed by the gooey ck liquid on the floor, when the others saw this they started to scream even louder and asked mercy from Gengar. Julian [Gengar, you can stop messing around now, find a way for me to get inside the headquarters] Gengar heard Julian''s voice and giggled, he then waved his hand and suddenly the gooey ck liquid transformed into a tsunami and engulfed every single one of them without leaving a single trace behind, he then headed towards the entrance of the headquarters and open the door for Julian. Along the way he noticed some grunts running away when they heard the screams of people, too back they couldn''t escape because shadow tentacles came out of nowhere and wrapped them and pulled them into a different dimension. Gengar came up to the entrance and pulled out a key card from his shadow dimension and put it on the card reader, suddenly the ground started to shake and the tform started to rise up. Julian who is waiting outside saw the green patch ofnd being lifted up, walked towards it, and looked down, he then jumped down and was greeted by Gengar who was grinning. Since Gengar has already scanned through the whole headquarters and found no hostages or stolen pokemons, they could blow this up without care but before that Julian needs to talk to the blond woman who is locked inside the main office room. _____________________ A few minutes before all the ruckus took ce, Ang is sitting on the main chair while chewing her favorite chewing gum ad blowing bubbles while looking at her phone. She is scrolling through the fastgram, a social media app, looking at all the hot male models and their fit bodies. Ang "Looking at them makes me so horny, I haven''t had sex for quite a while now and thest time I had sex was quite disappointing, even though his dick was big, he didn''tst long at all" She said and looked at her own ount which has no photos or followers, with her field of job she couldn''t show off her sexiness to the world outside. If she could post her photos she would have millions of horny teens following her and dick picks in her DMs. Ang "I really want to have a good fuck, I can give that old man Ghetsis a shot but I don''t think he can keep up with me" She said. She then looked around to see if anyone is around her or not, noticing no one was present, she took out a remote and pressed a button which locked every doors and screen in the room, she then put her phone onndscape and put on some nice porn. She looked at the video and watched a man pounding the woman on the table very roughly, she put her fingers in her mouth and started to lick it sloppily making them wet and slippery. Once she was satisfied with it, she moved her fingers and put it inside her panties touching her pussy, she then started to rub it slowly, she then pinched her clit and moaned, she yed with her clit for a while then started to use her finger and put it inside her pussy. He pussy started to get very wet as the sound of the woman moaning on the phone fell into her ears, the sound of the man''s abdomen pping the woman''s butt as his big dick was moving inside the woman''s wet pussy. Just looking at the video made Ang very wet, she started to move her fingers fast, her hips rose up as she felt herselfing close to climax, the sound of her finger dancing inside her wet pussy filled the room, and just as she was about to climax, rms suddenly went off which caught her by surprise. She removed her fingers from her pussy and looked around in a panic, she saw red bulbs on the top of the ceiling shing constantly. Ang "What happened?'' She asked as she put her phone back in her coat''s pocket, pulled up her panties, and got up from the chair. She took out the remote and pressed the button to unlock all the doors, she ran towards the control room to see what is happening but she suddenly stopped and looked at the door in front of her. She didn''t understand why the door in front of her was not opening, she walked towards the door and tried to open it manually but the door didn''t open. Ang "Did the wires get shorted?" She asked and looked at the manual pad and removed the upper case to find out, when she looked at it she found no shorted wire. Ang "Something is holding the doors from the other side" She said and ran towards the other door and tried to open it but the same thing happened, this door was locked as well, she then across the room to open the emergency exit but she found this one closed as well. Ang "Fuck, someone has locked me in, who could it be?" She started to panic as she realized she is trapped inside. Chapter 853 - One Way Or The Other Ang looked around the room panicking and trying to find out a way to get out of this room, she then suddenly remembers that there are actually hidden exits in this room, he takes out her phone and looks into the file to look at the blueprint of this headquarters. She finds the hidden exits and tries to open them but once again she failed. ?? Ang ''Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, even the hidden exits have been closed down, who did this?'' She then suddenly started to hear screamsing from the other side of the wall, hearing those screams terrified her. She backed down and suddenly took out a Pokeball and released her Zoroark. Ang "Break this door" She ordered. Her Zoroark charged up and used a very powerful Night sh on the door, but to Ang''s surprise, it only left a very tiny scratch on this. These doors are special doors, they are very tough, they are reinforced to make sure that they even withstand multiple attacks from even champion level pokemons. Her Zoroark tried many times but it was of no use, the door didn''t even budge. Ang started to panic hard, just a few minutes ago she was horny as fuck and now she haspletely forgotten about it, she just wants to get out of here to find a safe spot. She could still hear the screamsing from the other side of the wall but suddenly something happened, the screams stopped and she looked in the direction and wondered what is happening. Suddenly everything calmed down and this caused her more fear, she knows if sometimes the voices in the distance mean that the enemy is still far away, it is more terrifying when everything goes silent and no one knows what is happening. She gulped down her saliva and got ready to fight, she waited and looked at the door from where the enemy mighte. She waited and after a few minutes, her nightmare came true, the door in front of her started to move, the door first started to crank up and twist before it got ripped open by a ck specter with crimson red eyes and a massive wicked grin. She backed off as she saw this ck specter, her Zoroark growled as it looked at the ck specter as well, Ang also noticed a figure standing right behind the ck specter but she couldn''t figure out who it was. Ang "Zoroark, use Night sh" She decided to fight as there was nowhere to run, her Zoroark charged at the ck specter using a powerful night sh but before it could even get close to the ck specter, a shadow tentacle came out of nowhere and grabbed the Zoroark''s attacking hand and lifted it up in the air. Zoroark tried to struggle out of the shadow tentacle''s grip but it was useless, suddenly the shadow tentacle dragged Zoroark into a different dimension, and just like that Zoroark disappeared. Ang backed off in fear. Julian "You can leave, I want to talk to this woman" She suddenly heard the man who was standing behind the specter talk, she then noticed the specter suddenly disappear into the man''s shadow. Once Gengar entered into his own dimension Julian walked towards the blond woman, while doing so he looked at her figure and could not help but get impressed, Ang noticed his gaze and thought that maybe she still has a chance to escape. Ang took a good look at the man and noticed some simr patterns rted to someone else, she then realized who this man in front of her is, her heart started to beat faster as she knew that she is currently in a very dangerous situation. Ang "Mr. Julian, I am d you came, you seem to have received my message" She said with a smile on her face. Julian "So you are the one who sent the message?" Ang "Yes, Ghetsis was nning to kill one of your girlfriends and leave the other one alive just to pass you a message to not get involved with his work" Julian "And what if you are lying?" Ang "You can do anything to me if I am lying" She said. Julian "I don''t trust you, you are not giving me the full story" Julian said while looking at Ang''s smile, he could feel that she was hiding something, he knew that the information that she gave him about Ghetsis''s n might be true but there is more to that than just what came out from her mouth. Ang "What can I do to convenience you that I am telling the truth" She said while smiling seductive and unbuttoned her coat''s and shirt''s button to reveal her cleavage and the beautiful breasts that she is hiding behind her shirt. Julian ''One way or the another, I will make her spill everything out and she might be a very useful servant to me'' He thought and walked towards Ang. Chapter 854 - Another One Ang wanted to get out of this situation as soon as possible, her Zoroark is gone and she doesn''t know where it is, so the option of her creating an illusion and escaping is not an option anymore. Her only choice is to use her body and make sure enough to impress Julian so that he will let her go, she saw how Julian was looking at her body, she knows she is desirable, she can feel it when someone wants to fuck her. ?? She decided to do with Julian, first, he is the image of a perfect man, just the type she likes and she thought that she might be able to y around with Julian by making him obsessed with her, she has done this with many men and made them obsess with her, and she is confident in her skills to have the same effect on Julian as well. Little does she know she is about to experience something she has never felt before. Julian approached Ang and stood in front of her while looking at her cleavage, her breast looked very good. Ang "What are you waiting for, I am all yours for now" She said with a smile. Julian then looked into her eyes and grabbed her neck and squeezed it lightly, he didn''t want to choke this bitch to death but he wanted to make sure that he will be the one who will be dominant here. Ang was caught off-guard by Julian grabbing her neck, she felt his firm hands around her neck slowly squeezing her, she suddenly felt powerless as she realized that she couldn''t move her neck, even though he is not squeezing her tightly she could feel how strong Julian really is. She looked into his red eyes and suddenly felt powerless, her heart started to beat faster and she started to get really wet down there, she didn''t know what was happening but she just wanted to submit right in the spot. Ang ''What is this feeling, I am getting so wet down there, he has such a powerful presence, I have never met someone like this before, no wonder Giovanni is so scared of him'' She thought. What felt very weak in front of Julian which she has never felt before in the past, she has always been the one in control. But she understood she cannot be the one in control right now, the person in front of her is very dominant in nature and she has to act along. She suddenly felt Julian''s other hand on her breast as he grabbed them through her coat and squeezed then tightly, she left out a weak moan as she is still being chocked lightly. Julian "This is not needed" Julian said and grabbed her coat and ripped it off her body exposing the thin white shirt she was wearing inside, since her shirt was so thin Julian could clearly see the purplece bra that she is wearing. Julian "You have really nice breasts" He said as he got closer to her lips, Ang moved her head and tried to kiss him but he backed off and then pped her breast making her squeal. Julian "Did I give you the permission to kiss me?" Ang "No....." Julian "It''s better for you to understand this sooner, I don''t like when someone like you does something without my permission" Ang "I understand....." She said and looked down. Julian "Good, now tell me what''s your name?" He asked as he fondled her breast over her shirt. Ang "Ba...." As soon as she answered, Julian pped her breast again causing her breasts to giggle and she let out another squeal as it stung, the pain was not too much to cause a bruise but it was swift and stingy, enough to make her submit, Julian didn''t want to force her into submission with too much pain, he wanted to make sure that she enjoys it so that she would want more in the future. After seeing and feeling her body Julian decided to make her his property. Julian "I don''t like lies, your real name" He said. Ang "Ang" Julian "Ang, good girl, since you said the truth, you deserve a reward" He said and let go of her neck, as soon as he let go of her neck, Ang took a deep breath, she didn''t even realize she was running out of breath, being chocked felt really good, as she took a deep breath she looked into Julian''s eyes with a lustful gaze. She has never been this horny her whole life, her pussy is dripping wet and her pantie is already soaked. Julian then used his hand and grabbed her hair near the roots and pulled it with a light tug, if he applied too much power he would just rip off her scalp and he doesn''t want to ruin such a beautiful specimen. Ang moaned as he felt her hair being pulled. Julian then went in for the kiss to reward Ang which she epted with no resistance, they both locked lips and Julian''s tongue entered her mouth and yed around with Ang''s tongue, their saliva mixed together. Julian could taste Ang properly and she tasted great, he could taste the cherry-vored lips, her mouth was also a lot vorful as she was eating chewing gum before. Julian pressed his hips against hers'' as he spread her legs, Ang then wrapped her legs around him, Julian then pushed her on the table as he continued to ravage her mouth with his tongue, he humped her slowly while kissing her. Ang tried to wrap her hands around Julian and grab his hair but he didn''t allow it, he grabbed both of her wrists and brought them together behind her back and held it there. He stopped kissing her and looked at Ang''s slutty face, seeing the face Ang was making excited Julian. Julian "Looks like you still don''t understand, you have no control, you only do the things which I tell you to do" He said while holding her hands behind her arched back. Julian "Do you get it?" He asked and dry humped her causing her whole body to shake, the breast behind her thin white shirt giggled as well. Ang "Yes" Julian "Call me Master" He said. Ang "Yes Master....." She said as the will to submit to this man started to get nted inside her. Julian "And what are you" Ang "A ve" Julian "A what?'' Ang "You personal ve, master" Julian "Good" He said and freed one of his hands while still holding on to Ang''s two hands with the other and unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt to take out her breasts that are still behind her purpleced bras. Chapter 855 - Another One (2) (18+) Julian "Look at these big, beautiful breasts" He said while fondling them around. ?? Ang "Do you like them, master?" She asked Julian "Indeed, they are great" He said and removed thestyer that is covering her breast, after removing the bra Julian finally got the view of those beautiful plump breast, he smiled and bent down to get a taste of them. He put his mouth around her right nipple and sucked on them, he used his tongue to press and pull them and he enjoyed it, Ang''s breasts tasted great. Ang continued to moan as he nipples were being pressed and stretched, she wanted to move around and feel her body but Julian has her hands tied with his other hand. Julian didn''t stop sucking on her nipples, he then went forward and bit them, he didn''t bite them very hard but enough to make Ang squeal again in pain and pleasurebined, he bit them and pulled them up. Ang finally let out a loud moan and had an orgasm, this was too intense for her, for the first time in her life, she came without being prated. Julian stopped sucking her breast and released her nipples, he had turned those juicy pink nipples to red, he then decided to taste the other breast as well, he doesn''t need to ask permission as Ang belongs to him, her everything is his. He then did the same thing with her other breast as well, once he was done tasting the breasts hepletely turned her around making her so that her head is looking up his abdomen to his face. Julian "You have been a very bad girl and you need to be punished" He said while slowly taping on Ang''s cheeks. Ang "Master, please punish this wore of a ve for lying" She said. Even though Ang is still not under full control of Julian, she is really into the sex she is having right now and she is acting ordingly. Julian "I will punish you then" He said and took out his massive dick from his pants and ced it between her eyebrows and slowly rubbed her nose with it. Ang "Master is so big" She said while being fascinated by the size of Julian''s dick, she has never seen such a majestic dick before. Julian "Open your mouth wide open" He ordered. Ang opened her mouth wide open to wee Julian''s dick. Julian then grabbed her head and bent it down so that her mouth and throat are aligned, he didn''t wait for her call and thrashed his dick inside her mouth. Ang was taken by surprise as his dick enter her mouth and went into the throat, she gagged loudly and tried to grasp Julian''s legs and push him a little further but he was not going to allow it. He grabbed her hands and pinned it down and started to throat fuck her hard, Ang didn''t expect this at all, she knew that this was going to be rough but she didn''t expect this, she has given blowjobs to many but this was different. She wasn''t in control and Julian''s dick is now ravaging her mouth, she started to gag a lot and her saliva started to drip out of her mouth and into her face, tears started to roll down her eyes as the ck mascara she was wearing started to wash away. She felt helpless as her throat was getting vited, she justid there, her hands pinned, her eyes rolled up, Julian throated fuck her a few seconds and removed his dick when he sensed Ang was at the edge. As soon as Julian removed his dick she suddenly got up and took a deep breath and coughed a lot. Julian "What are you doing, there is still more" He said and grabbed her from behind and pinched her nipples. Ang moaned as she felt Julian''s strong arms around her, she liked this a lot, even though being chocked out by getting deep throated looked scary, she really enjoyed it, she liked getting dominated like this. Julian "Let''s continue then" He said and put her right on her back on the table and started to throat fuck her again, her saliva dripped down along with her tears, this time Julian continued till he came, he released a massive load down her throat and removed his dick, leaving a mixed trail of his cum and saliva behind. Ang seemed lost as he gulped down thest bit of cum in her mouth. Julian then suddenly grabbed her hair and pulled her down on the ground and held her head and looked into her eyes. Julian "On your knees" He said. Ang obediently nodded and got on he knees and looked at Julian with lustful eyes. Julian "Open your mouth" He ordered. Once she opened her mouth Julian thrashed his dick inside her mouth again and he kept it there for a while, after a few seconds he removed his dick and let Ang take a deep breath before doing it again, he throated fucked her even harder as the sound of Ang gagging on his dick filled the room. If the members of Team sma were here they would be crying by seeing their goddess being dominated and humiliated like this but they would also have their dicks in their hand. Julian once again came inside her mouth and let her drink it all. Julian "Now the real punishment starts" He said and lifted her up and ced her belly first on the table as his rubbed his dick right between her soft thighs. Chapter 856 - Another One (3) (18+) As Ang got mmed on the table, she started to shake her ass waiting for Julian to put his dick inside her, Julian smiled as he saw how desperate Ang is for his dick. He continued to rub his dick between his thighs as she continued to drip body fluids from her pussy which lubricated her thigh for a perfect thigh fuck. ?? Julian "Tell me what do you want?" He asked and suddenly pped her ass very hard leaving a handprint behind, Ang let out a loud moan filled with pain and pleasure. Ang "I want your dick" She yells right after. Julian "Beg for it" He said and pped her again, enough for her to enjoy the sudden jolt of pain, not too hard to cause a bruise causing skill bleeding. Ang "Master, please fuck me with your massive dick, destroy this slutty pussy of your ve" She asked while her head was pressed against the table with Julian holding onto her face tightly, her arms are behind her back, her wrist locked by Julian''s other hand. Julian pped her once again and thrust his dick into her wet pussy, as soon as his dick went in Ang let out a very loud moan, she felt her vagina being spread wide as the tip of Julian''s dick was pushing the end of her vagina to limit. She felt her whole body shaking uncontrobly. Ang ''This is too much, I never felt like this before. this feels too good'' She thought as she felt Julian''s dick has started to move, Julian slowly pulled his dick out and mmed into her vagina once again with some speed causing Ang to let out another loud moan as her body shook, her ass cheeks giggled and Julian pped them again. Julian continued doing this, slowly pulling out his dick and thrusting it hard inside, just this smile action made Ang lost her mind as she squirted all over Julian''s legs even with his dick still inside her. Julian smirked and started to move again, Ang was caught off guard as she just had an earth-shattering orgasm, she felt Julian''s dick moving inside her faster than before. Ang "~aa~ahn~ahn~ahn~agg~ah~masta~an~" She moaned every time she felt friction between Julian''s dick and her vagina, every thrust was stronger and every pull was faster, Ang''s tongue was out and saliva dripped down her cheek and on the table. Ang "Masta~~~~~ please ~~fug~~~m~~~mole" The words that came out of her mouth are very unclear but Julian could tell what she meant, he could feel it, how she was squeezing his dick with her pussy to stimte herself even more. Julian smiled and increased his thrusting and made her cum once again. Ang "AAAAANGGGGGGG" She let out another loud moan as her legs shook uncontrobly as she squirted once again, her pussy fluids dripped down her thighs into her thigh highs. Julian removed his dick from her vagina leaving a thick line of vaginal fluid and pre-cum, Julian is still not done and he wants to look at her boobs while he destroys her pussy. He grabbed her by the hip and turned her around and put her on her back, he took a look at her breasts that is reflecting the light of them because of all the sweat, her thin shirt has also bepletely drenched from her sweat as well. Ang''s makeup ispletely ruined as her lipstick has been smudged, her eyeliner has been washed, and has dripped down her cheeks. Julian "Look at you, now you really look like a slut" He said as he looked at Ang''s expression. Ang "Yes master, I am a slut, I am your slut" She said. She then felt Julian rubbing his dick on her pussy again, she was taken by surprise and looked at him with wide eyes. Ang "We are still doing it?" She asked. Julian "Do you really think this is over?" He said and got close to her and brought his mouth near her ear. Julian "I am going topletely break you" He whispered it in her ear causing a chill to run down her spine but she also felt very horny right now, Julian looked at Ang''s pussy which is still dripping fluids and pink in color, after he banged her for so long her pussy became very sensitive. He smiled and thrust his dick inside her sensitive pink pussy once again, Ang let out another moan and continued to moan as Julian started to get rough with her. Julian "Do you like when I am rough with you?'' He asked while increasing his speed. Ang "Yez maszta~~~~I~I~I love~ it, when you treat me ~ me rough" Julian roughed her really well, Ang''s eyes rolled up and her tongue stuck out, she continued to drip from both her mouth and pussy, Julian loved watching her boobs bounce up and down as he continued to thrust her to oblivion. He finally came inside her and creampied her properly, his jizz oozed out of her pussy and dripped down, Ang took a deep breath and thought that it was over but she was dead wrong, she felt Julian''s dick moving inside her pussy again causing her to have another massive orgasm. Ang waspletely losing it. Ang ''He is going to break me, I don''t think I will ever be able to enjoy sex with any other man than him, I want to be his personal cum dumpster, I want to be his ve'' She started to think as Julian continued to pound her. This went on for hours, he deep throated her, he fucked her in the ass and filled it up, he fucked her pussy so many times that she became numb down there. Her whole body was covered with Julian''s jizz, it came out of her pussy, it came out of her ass, it came out of her mouth, it dripped down even her nose. Her eyes rolled out, her tongue out, breathing heavily on the table, lost in bliss. Julian broke her just like any other of his ves but he went the extra mile with Ang, he knew she would be a hard one to control due to her criminal nature and she had to be treated the worst out of all his servants. He had to make her the most loyal of them all so she wouldn''t even have the thought of displeasing Julian in the slightest. Seeing the state Julian left Ang in, he smiled, he felt refreshed, he came multiple times, holding all that excitement for days was hard for him. He then used omniforce to clean himself and Ang as well, he could see that she is still out and needs some time to recollect herself and her thoughts before she can evenprehend what just happened to her. Chapter 857 - Getting To Know Angela Julian let Ang collect her self while he looked around to see if he could find anything useful around here, he walked around and found a giantputer, he turned it and found it encrypted. Julian ''System, hack into theputer and see if you can find anything important'' ?? After getting Julian''s instruction, the system started to do its work, theputer in front of Julian suddenly started to work on its own, the encryption was removed within a few seconds, theputer then opened amand script and started to search through everything that is there in theputer. Some stupid things to private photos of team sma members, the system then even went through the entire server to find things that Julian can use. After doing a quick search the system was done. Julian ''Did you find anything?'' System ''Yes, a lot of things'' Julian ''Anything they are nning to do?'' System ''Creating a mind-control mechanism, I also found blueprints for the Ice Cannon they used, there also seems to be a lot of blueprints for weapons of mass destruction'' Julian ''I see, copy everything into your memory and erase everything that can be considered dangerous from their servers'' System ''Affirmative'' The System answered and started to delete everything from Team sma''s servers leaving nothing behind, once it was done theputer turned off and Julian went back to the main room where he fucked Ang. He noticed that Ang was done being a broken person and had started to collect herself, she noticed Julian walk in and quickly got to her feet and rushed towards him. Ang "Master, how was I?" She asked while shaking her butt like a dog. Julian "You were good, from now you work for me but first I want to hear everything about you and where youe from" Ang "Ok master" She said and brought a chair for Julian to let him sit down, it looks like that extra punishment he gave her has taken effect making her really obedient and doing everything to please Julian. Ang "Well my name is Ang and I became an orphan at the age of 15. Since I had very little money that I inherited from my parents, I couldn''t afford anything, I hated my parents for being poor and leaving me all alone. I decided I will make a lot of money, it was very hard to make money with physicalbor, I got jobs in local stores but I didn''t like the pay, when I turned 18 I started to use my body to make money. Since I was really beautiful, I charged a lot from my customer which they were happy to pay. Soon I started to prostitute myself to very rich people as I joined a private club as their worker, I made them addicted to me and made sure that they spend all their money. As time went I became more confident in my ability to seduce anyone, I also studied a lot ofw which came naturally to me, not onlyw, I learned everything that coulde to use for me, I started to train pokemons as well and I got pretty strong. In a few years, I exploited a lot of rich men but then I realized that money was not enough for me, I wanted power as well, then I learned about the shadow legion, I joined their rankings, and by making some connections and seducing some higher-level members I became one of the Admins there. The Master came and destroyed shadow legion, I was unlucky that I couldn''t meet Master that fateful day and escaped, the same day I met an admin from Team Rocket Archer who came to recruit me. Since I had no other options I followed him" Julian "Wait, you worked for Team Rocket?" Julian asked as this came as a surprise to him. Ang "I still do, I started to work for Team Rocket as their special agent, I go around and find information for Giovanni whenever he wants to look into some organization or someone" Julian "Interesting, so you being here, was it, Giovanni, as well?" Ang "Yes" Julian "What did he want from Team sma" Ang "He wanted their destruction, Team sma was causing a lot of trouble for Team Rocket. Since both of them have a very simr concept and ideology, both knew only one could exist and Team sma''s influence in the underworld was also rising rapidly. This forced Giovanni to make a move and send me here, he learned that you are also in Unova and decided to use Master to get rid of Team sma, I was sent here to make sure that you and Team sma''s leadere across so that you can get rid of Team sma once and for all" Julian "Oh, Giovanni is getting really bold, to use me to get rid of a rival" He said and smirked. He didn''t like the idea but he had to admit that it was indeed a very good n. Julian "Continue" Ang "I then got into Team sma very easily when I found out that they are having trouble manipting their money and transferring them to other ounts, they needed someone to help them bypass this and I stepped it, I used my charm and made sure that Team sma will be able to use and manipte their money as they want. Once I did that, it was easy to get into Team sma as their own financial person and also their legal matters, I then got close to the leader of Team sma, Ghetsis. And just like anyone I was able to seduce him as well. Ghetsis seems to have a personal vendetta against master as well since you destroyed one of his headquarters and the recent event where he was not able to secure the DNA splicer. He got so pissed of that he asked me to look into your weakness, then I found out about master''s girlfriendsing to Unova, when Ghetsis learned about this he decided to assassinate one of them while letting the other alive to send a message to you. And now we are here" She said. Julian "I see, so where is Ghetsis?" Chapter 858 - Another Big Explosion After learning about Ang''s past and her current mission, Julian could not help but smile, Giovanni is trying to swing a double edge sword without any practice and if Julian wants, this double-edged sword would be the reason for his demise. Julian "So where this Ghetsis?" ?? Julian asked. Right now he really doesn''t care about Team Rocket as they are not his main concern right now, there seems to be no progress from their side in finding Mewtwo as well so it really didn''t matter, right now his main goal is to destroy Ghetsis and his little organization. Ang "I don''t know, before leaving he said he is going to catch Kyurem" She said. Julian "I see, then I will have to find him there" He said. Ang "What should I do master? I can leave Team Rocket ande work for you and only you" She said happily. Julian "No continue working for Giovanni and do what he says and inform me about everything you find out about his ns and actions" Ang "I will do as you say, master" She said happily as she got her first order from her master. Julian "You should leave now, I am going to blow this ce up and take your Zoroark as well" Julian said and asked Gengar to release her Zoroark, her Zoroark resurfaced out of a ck shadow portal, it was confused and scared, it looked around and noticed that its master was still alive but there was something different about her. It didn''t think much and backed off a little as it saw Julian was also present in the room. Ang "Zoroarke here, from now you should be faithful towards the master, ok?" She said while holding onto her Zoroark, her Zoroark ispletely confused by the current situation, Ang didn''t hang around for much, she took her Zoroark and left leaving Julian all alone in the headquarters. Julian "Once I get out blow it up" Julian said and walked out leaving Gengar behind, as he got out of the headquarters he noticed a mini jet flying through the sky, this was Ang making her escape. As soon as he came out of the headquarters the ground started to shake and a massive amount of fire ripped through the ground creating a gigantic hole in the ground right now, Julian used omniforce to block himself from getting his clothes ripped by the explosion. He watched as the fire mushroom reached very high in the sky, everyone in Virbank city felt the ground tremor and they saw the explosion from far away, luckily most of the impact was observed by the ground itself and Julian controlled the explosions'' shock wave damage bypletely shutting off the area by putting a barrier around it. Julian then thought about this next move, he knew that Virbank city is very close by but there is nothing for him in the city, there also seems to be two small towns neighboring Virbank city but they were just small towns that don''t have much as well. There is Flesy town which is the home town of Alder, that is the only thing that is interesting about the town to Julian and nothing else, after thinking about it for a while he decided to leave. He took out the Eon flue and blew it again calling Latios again, it didn''t even take a second before Latios arrived on the scene, he looked around and seemed confused by looking at the massive hole on the ground, he knew that whoever did this is really powerful. Julian "Come let''s go" Julian said and hopped on top of Latios and he took Julian back to Opelucid City. It only took a few hours and he was back to the hotel he was staying, he gave a bunch of delicious snacks to Latios to eat for the help which he gulped down happy, he even took some back so that he could share it with his friend Latias. Julian returned back to his room and went straight into bed. Julian [Gengar take those Team sma members and toss them up in front of the prison] Since those Team sma members are will inside Gengar''s dimension and they need to be thrown out, Gengar left Julian''s shadow and went away, Julian closed his eyes and finally slept, it was quite a long day and he did get a lot of pleasure from fucking Ang till she broke. ____________________ The next day, Julian woke up refreshed and took a quick shower, and looked at the watch, his girlfriends areing today and he wanted to go and fetch them both. But he had some time, he was also thinking of doing something very important and just thinking about it made his heart beat fast, this was the first time he felt very tense even though he knows he will seed. Chapter 859 - They Have Arrived After waiting for a while, Julian finally headed to the airport to meet his girlfriends, when he got there he made sure that he was covered from head to toe so that no one could notice and recognize him. But when he got there he noticed something was off, a lot of people have gathered here with cameras, a lot of TV stations, reporters, paparazzi, and many other media organization, there were also a lot ofmon people who are standing outside the gate being held by the security guards, stopping them from going any further. ?? He wondered what is happening so he got closer and found out what really is happening. These people are here for Chloe, for some reason, people found out that she ising and her fans and reporters are here to get a chance to talk to her and maybe get a photo with her. He was surprised by how many people turned up, he knew that his girlfriend was big but he didn''t expect her fame to reach such a level, he was happy and concerned about her at the same time, he knows how difficult it is to be famous. Being famous brings many benefits like money and support from the public but their life also bes very public as well, that is why Julian always hid his face, some of his lifestyles is already public but most of it is still private due to the prevention measures he takes. He then wondered how things got leaked, Chloe has a team who make sure that things are hidden but sometimes this information leak but this was too much, how did these people confirm that she ising here. Somebody must have found proof and leaked it and who would do something and go to such an extent. Julian ''Maybe it''s those assassins'' He thought. Julian [Gengar, scan the area and see if there are any suspicious person in the group and around the vicinity] Gengar got out of his shadow and dove into the crowd and quickly found a suspicious person, this person was wearing a leather jacket and sunsses but Gengar found a gun inside the jacket, this was clearly the assassin. Gengar continued to scan the area and found a sniper as well, Julian was surprised by seeing this, it looks like these assassins had a backup n as well, if the first attempt fails, the sniper should be ready to take a shot as well. Julian [Take out that sniper and if you find more snipers like them, take them out as well] Gengar got to work and actually found another sniper and knocked that person out as well, the person in the crowd was clearly the main person, he must have leaked the information to bring this crowd to blend it, carry the assassination and use the chaos to escape. It was indeed a brilliant n but too bad this man was asking for a death wish. After a few minutes, the nended and the crowd started to chatter louder as excitement filled the air, Chloe''s fans started to scream her name even though she is still not out of the airport, Julian noticed that the assassin is also getting ready to make his move as his hand is closer to the gun inside his jacket. Julian smiled and wondered how will he react when he fails miserably, little does the assassin knows that he is being watched, and no matter what he does he will not seed in his current mission. ____________________ Inside the airport, Chloe and Daisy walked out of the ne and looked around, they could hear the screams of peopleing from outside the airport. Daisy "What is happening? and they seem to be calling out your name" She asked as she got very confused. Chloe "Looks like people found out that we areing, Julian also informed me that there might be an assassination attempt on either of us" She said casually. Daisy "What? Why didn''t you inform me of this before?" She asked. She didn''t hear anything about this. Chloe "I didn''t tell you because I know you will react too seriously. Since using here has been leaked, it must be the assassins who must have leaked the information" She said. Daisy "So what do we do?" Chloe "Nothing, let''s go, it been so long since I have seen Julian, I just want to run into his arms and give him a lot of kisses" She said. Daisy "Me too, let''s go" They both are really excited to meet Julian, right behind them two pokemons also followed along, it''s Flygon and Gardevoir and they both seem to have grown a lot. Flygon has be a giant on his own, standing three meters tall and has a very intimidating aura, Gardevoir, on the other hand, seems to have be more graceful than before, spending so much time with Chloe and Daisy, she has be more feminine in nature which she wasn''t when she was training under Julian. Both Flygon and Gardevoir are also eager to meet Julian and they could already tell that he is very close by which got them very excited. Chapter 860 - Failed Assassination As Chloe and Daisy walked away from the runway and entered the airport, they were greeted by the airport security and the person in charge of the airport. "Miss Chloe, Miss Daisy, wee to Unova, I am here to personally escort you outside, you see that people havepletely blocked the entrance so you might need guards" ?? The person in charge said while rubbing his hands. Chloe "Sure, lead the way" She said and asked the person in charge to lead the way, they were then escorted out of the airport with guards all surround them, leaving a very little gap between them, Gardevoir and Flygon also followed right behind. ____________________ Julian continued to wait and he finally saw his girlfriends walking out with a bunch of guards surrounding them, he also noticed his Gardevoir and Flygon right behind them, he smiled while looking at them as he knew that they have clearly improved a lot, his Flygon looks really powerful, and his Gardevoir seems more graceful and feminine than ever. As soon as Chloe and Daisy came in front of the public, they started to get wilder as they called for Chloe, shouting and clicking her pictures, some people also called for Daisy''s name as well, even though most of the fans here are for Chloe, there also seems to be a lot of people who are here to see Daisy as she is also very famous. Being a very famous pokemon groomer, she has been invited to many famous tv shows, and she also has a huge following among people who like fashion and a pokemon contest. Chloe and Daisy smiled and waved at the people who were calling for them, getting their attention was the best thing that could have happened to those people. The crowd started to get rowdy and push forward so that they should get close to their idol and that is when the assassin made his move, he got a little closer and suddenly pulled out his gun and aimed it at Daisy and pulled the trigger without even waiting for a second. The sound of the gun being fired overshadowed the shouting of the crowd, suddenly a brief moment of silence followed by as everyone was taken back by the gunshot. The Assassin who wanted to escape using the chaos of the crowd suddenly realized that things are not going as he nned, people are not running around and screaming in fear, he then looked at his target and noticed that the bullet he fired was hovering right in front of her face. Daisy was surprised by seeing the bullet floating in front of her, a thinyer of pinkish-purple energy was surrounding it. The Assassin is shocked as he didn''t understand how could a bullet be stopped, he then looked around in fear and noticed the Gardevoir standing behind Chloe staring at him. The Gardevoir''s eyes were glowing and her hand is up indicating that she is using her power, the assassin panicked and tried to back off but Gardevoir moved her hand and sent the bullet back towards the assassin. The bullet went and pierced right through the assassin''s leg and he fell right on the ground, chaos didn''t break out but people moved far away from the assassin, the guards saw a gun in the assassin''s hand and quickly moved in and took the assassin into custody and apprehended his gun. Julian saw this and smiled again, to attack Daisy or Chloe in front of Gardevoir was the biggest mistake one could ever make, Julian put his trust in Gardevoir and Flygon to protect Daisy and Chloe so they will do anything to protect them. The people around them were shocked by the current event, the reporters who were present quickly used their cameras to film the assassin who just tried to assassinate Daisy. The guards quickly took the assassins away while the guards quickly covered Daisy and Chloe and quickly escorted them towards the car. Julian ''I think I should leave, they are already inside their car, I don''t want to expose myself right now'' He thought and walked to the side, called out Garchomp, and flew back to his hotel room. Since he has already given his address to Chloe and Daisy, he is not worried about them getting lost, it only took him a minute to get back to his hotel room and cleaned up a little before they arrive. After waiting for a while they finally arrived, he could hear the steps of both Chloe and Daisy approaching the door, the doorbell rang, and Julian opened the door and was greeted by two very beautiful women, these two are none other than his girlfriends. As soon as they saw Julian they jumped him and put their arms around him and hugged him tightly. Chloe "I missed you a lot" Daisy "Me too, It''s so good to be back with you again" Daisy said and hugged him tighter, Julian felt the warmthing from them and realized how much he really loved these two women, no matter how many women he has sex with, they never gave him the feeling that Chloe, Daisy, and Cynthia gives him. He picked both of them up and locked the door behind him and took them in. They both didn''t let go of Julian at all and showered him with cuddles and kisses, they didn''t have sex, they justid on the bed in each other''s arms and talked a lot, this was something Julian would never do with other women but these two are different. Chapter 873 - Kyurem Julian made his way to the other side of the cave and what he saw shocked him, he saw four people teaming up and trying to battle a massive armored grey color pokemon which seems very ferocious right now. The massive grey pokemon sted a powerful Ice Beam at one of the pokemon and sent it sting through the air and crashing into the ice wall, went the pokemon made an impact with the ice wall, the ice wall shattered and left behind a massive spiderweb of crack and right in the middle is the pokemon these seem to be stuck and knocked out cold. ?? Julian looked at this imposing pokemon and was mesmerized by how majestic it looked, its head seems to be covered with a very thick hard crystal, it also had these same type of crystals acting as its wings as well, Julian took his time to observe this pokemon and noticed that one of its crystal wings is smaller than the other one. It looked ipletely just like the legends depicted, if the legends are true then Kyurem can bebined with Reshiram and Zekrom to form the ultimate dragon pokemon. After watching the majestic pokemon Kyurem, Julian focused his vision on the four people that are trying to capture Kyurem. It is none other than Ghetsis, N, Zinzolin, and Colress, Julian continued to look around and saw the Shadow Triads were on the ground knocked out cold along with their pokemon. It was very clear that this is a one-sided massacre from Kyurem''s side, Ghetsis overestimated his own power and his team to take on Kyurem, from what Julian is looking at even his Garchomp might not be able to take it down, he will need Victini''s support. Well, it was not a massive surprise to Julian, even his Kanto team were pushed back by a single Groudon and they had more training than Garchomp and Victini, in Julian''s eyes that Groudon and this Kyurem are on the same level. But this also means his Garchomp''s and Victini''s rate of growth is much faster than his Kanto pokemons as well, their speed of growth is even faster than Julian''s Infernape but those were the times when Julian was still learning, even though he did really good. The today of him wouldpletely crush the Julian of the past with ease. Ghetsis seems to be using a Bisharp, N is using a Zoroark, Zinzolin is using his Weavile, and Colress just had his Beheeyem sent flying across and smashed into the ice wall. Colress was clearly out of the battle but he still seems to be in focus as he is currently holding a massive tranquilizer in his hand ready to fire when the time is right. Ghetsis used his Bisharp''s speed and power and tried to put some pressure on Kyurem, N also tries to do the same and attack Kyurem with full power, but their attacks seem to have no effect on the majestic Kyurem, and it just sooks of those attacks. Zinzolin saw this and almost gave up, he could tell that there was no use in him facing off against the monster that is in front of them, he hopes that N and Ghetsis can distract it for a second so that Colress can get a shot. While Julian was watching all this happen, he noticed that Gengar returned after checking out the other two cave entrance as well, one was a dead end and the other lead to this same ce. Julian [You remember our friend, Colress, make sure that no matter what happens, he should not fire that tranquilizer] Gengar giggled and went towards Colress and disappeared into his shadow without being noticed by anyone while Julian kept a watch on the battle. This is his first time seeing this legendary pokemon battle, and he wouldn''t miss it. As the battle continued, it soon became apparent that no matter how hard Ghetsis and N tried, they are not able to even put a scratch on the big fellow, this battle was only being dragged along was because of the speed Ghetsis''s Bisharp, N''s Zoroark, and Zinzolin''s Weavile had, they could clearly outmaneuver the beast but it is not enough. Soon Zinzolin got caught by a powerful Dragon Pulse and sent it flying through the air and crashing into the ice wall just like Colress''s pokemon, Zinzolin''s Weavile became another decorative piece in the wall. Now that only Ghetsis and N are left things are started to go south for them, Ghetsis''s Bisharp got hit by a sh and sent it rolling through the icy ground as ice shards flew everywhere, luckily for Bisharp, it is resistant to normal type attacks or that single sh would have put an end to this whole battle. N "Father, we need to retreat, Kyurem is too strong, let bring out followers to subdue it first then I will try to talk to it, right now we are in a dire situation." N said while looking at the situation, he is a little worried about other safety right now. Ghetsis "NO, I will get this Kyurem, and I don''t intend to wait any longer" Ghetsis said and suddenly started to run towards Kyurem recklessly. Chapter 877 - The Big Battle Gengar quickly took Colress out of Kyurem''sir, he reached the camp area where all the Team sma grunts were fast asleep and released Colress from the dark aura. ___________________ ?? Colress who was inside the dark aura suddenly felt arge amount of g-force, he felt he was traveling at supersonic speed, but since he is inside this dark aura he is not suffering from the whish. He then felt his body slowing down and finally stopping, he then watched as the ck aura around his body slowly started to disappear into his shadow, soon the aura around him also started to disappear and he was finally able to see what is outside. He was surprised to find himself outside the cave in the middle of the camp, he looked around and noticed something strange, he saw every Team sma grunts asleep on the cold snow. Colress is confused, he turns around to look at the cave entrance which caused him to suffer from a fright of a lifetime as he saw a big Gengar looking at him with a wide grin on his face. Colress ''A Gengar and I think I know who this belongs to'' Colress had a clear idea of what happened, he recognized Julian''s Gengar and if Julian''s Gengar is here, Julian is also here. As he was thinking of a way to getting out of here he suddenly felt motionless again and when he looked down he saw a rope was around his body moving by itself and tying him up. Colress "Hey what are you doing?" Colress asked Gengar confused on why he is being tied up. Gengar "Gegegegege" Gengar justughed andpletely tied up Colress and then tied him next to a pole so that he cannot escape, once Colress was secured in a ce, Gengar left, he went back into the cave to rejoin Julian. Colress didn''t know what was going on, he just felt helpless right now. He looked at his surroundings and sighed, luckily he was wearing a very thick coat that helped him to keep warm in this cold area. ______________________ Back inside their, Kyurem noticed the dangerous aura suddenly disappear, it didn''t know why it left but it was relieved, it noticed that even after its Draco meteor the aura didn''t disappear and it was able to even withstand all of them. Kyurem was a little relieved as this powerful being just left itsir but it was also worried about how much danger this being can cause. Kyurem then noticed another entity in hisir, he turned his head and looked at the direction it sensed it from. It saw another human standing there looking at it with no fear in the human''s eyes, Kyurem looked at this human and felt something different about him, it could sense the majestic power circling inside and outside this human. This power, it has sensed it before, it was all around it, in every object, every element, every molecule but it couldn''t ess this power no matter how hard it tried but this human in front of it was doing it with such ease. It was as if this energy wasing from this human''s body itself. Kyurem felt''s Julian intentions as well, it could see the look in Julian''s eyes, this human came to battle it and for some reason, it didn''t hurt its pride because it felt that this human was worthy, someone that can control the mysterious energy is definitely a worthy opponent. Kyurem meets Julian''s gaze and let out a roar, powerful enough to cause the whole mountain range to tremor in its might. _______________________ Julian looked at the majestic beast in front of him and got excited, this time he was going to battle an opponent that is beyond his level and he ns to use only one pokemon who has a serious disadvantage against Kyurem as well. This was a recipe for disaster and even if Julian loses, he loses to an ancient monster that had rained terror on thisnd''s habitats and still has its presence known to the current generation. Julian "I am here to collect you" Julian said and took out a Pokeball and released Garchomp from it. Garchomp took the stage and looked at the current situation, he saw a destroyedyer and a lot of dragon energy lingering around the area, he looked and the destruction caused here and knew that only pokemons stronger than him can do this. He then looked at his opponent, the massive gray pokemon with crystal around its head, chest, and back. A very powerful dragon pokemon, Garchomp could also sense the powerful ice energy inside his opponent, his biggest weakness, Garchomp turned and looked at Julian a little nervous. This was the first time he is going to face an opponent that is not his seniors, even though his seniors are stronger they never harmed him but in this battle, he will get hurt bad and he knows this but he is not backing off from this fight. Julian "It''s ok to be nervous, but the best part is that you will be able to go all out today" He said. Garchomp nodded his head and looked at Kyurem once again and released his powerful barbaric aura indicating that he is ready to take Kyurem on in this one-on-one battle. Julian also got ready and took a deep breath and went full focus mode on this. Chapter 878 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (1) Garchomp could already sense the massive amount of dragon energy inside his current opponent, there is also this danger of Ice that the pokemon in front of him can release in massive amount and power. His opponent is stronger and levels higher than him but it didn''t matter right now, he is focused and ready to battle, with Julian right beside him to guide him to victory there was nothing Garchomp was afraid of and even if things go bad, there is always back up that is hiding in Julian''s shadow. ?? Gengar has already returned back to Julian''s shadow and looking through his dimension, Kyurem never sensed himing back because Gengar made sure to hide his aurapletely this time. Julian was also a little wary about the current battle, he wondered how strong this Kyurem really is, when he saw it battle with N and group he knew that it wasn''t even using all its power, it was just destructive in nature because it was being annoyed by the other party. Julian ''Let''s get this started then'' He thought and got ready, he took a deep breath and called out his first move. Julian "Garchomp, let''s go, use Dragon Rush" Julian decided to start off with a big move from the very beginning, he clearly wants to figure out the limit of Kyurem as soon as possible so that he cane up with a way to defeat Kyurem, and even after he is able to find Kyurem''s weakness and not able to take it down, Julian has a special something that could help Garchomp have a chance to take down Kyurem. Garchomp roared and knew Julian''s intention, he charged up his dragon energy to the max as a massive dragon made of energy covered his body and charged at Kyurem at full speed. Garchomp''s speed was so fast that it broke the sound barrier. Kyurem saw thising and was surprised by how powerful its current opponent was, if this Dragon Rush hits it knew that it will get hurt. Kyurem roared and shook the wholeir and charged at Garchomp with its full speed as well, even though it is not as fast as Garchomp, it is bigger, heavier, and stronger. It used Dragon w and swiped at the iing energy dragon. As both attacks collided it caused such a powerful shockwave that it turned every rock in the vicinity into dust, the explosion burnt everything that isn''t Ice. As the explosion faded away Julian noticed this, he realized that the ice wasn''t melting at all, even though everything here seems to be made of ice they don''t seem to be melting at all, even the massive rocks got disintegrated and the ice is still intact. Julian knew that there is something weird about this mountain and how it is formed, that deep abyss and this unmeltable ice, he decided to look into it after he has dealt with Kyurem. But he put this thought to the back of his head and concentrated on the ongoing battle, after that exchange his Garchomp was pushed back and Kyurem stood its ground, even though Dragon Rush was the stronger attack between the two moves used, Garchomp was still pushed back in the exchange. Well Julian wasn''t surprised, he had expected this to happen but he also got a rough estimate of Kyurem''s strength, the only thing that worries Julian right now is Kyurem''s endurance, if it is anywhere close to Groudon or Kyogre from Hoenn, he will have an even harder time to take down Kyurem. Kyurem didn''t seem to back down, after pushing Garchomp back, it charged at him again roaring as loud as possible, it used Iron Head and dove headfirst towards Garchomp. Julian "Garchomp, use Dual Chop full power" Julian knew that this battle is going to be even harder seeing how aggressive Kyurem ising at Garchomp. Garchomp also roared and charged up another powerful attack, both of his hands glowed and got covered with explosive dragon energy, as Kyurem got closer to him, he swiped his left hand first and then swung his right hand andpletely stopped Kyurem on its tracks while also being pushed back a little. The first swipe slowed down Kyurem while the second one put a stop to its momentum. Kyurem''s legsnded on the ground and it tried to push Garchomp with pure physical power but Garchomp was not going to back off so easily, his legs dug deep into the ground and he nted himself properly. Garchomp crossed his arms and tried to push Kyurem back but both of them were not moving an inch forward or backward. Both of them were growling while exerting all their power behind their legs. Kyurem roared even louder and started to put everything behind its legs which allowed it to sessfully push Garchomp back. Garchomp tried to push back but he couldn''t, he is getting overpowered right now. Kyurem then suddenly decided to use its ws to attack Garchomp out of nowhere, it charged up a Dragon w and swung at Garchomp while its head is still locked with Garchomp''s arms. Julian "Back of, quick" Julian saw the attacking from a mile away, he was always attentive over every action Kyurem was about to make, seeing that Kyurem was charging up another attack, he didn''t waste any time to order Garchomp to back off. Listening to Julian, Garchomp decided to abandon his position and jumped back as fast as he could, as he jumped he saw the tip of Kyurem''s w scraping on his belly leaving a small mark behind. This was a very close call but this also helped Garchomp and Julian in a way. Chapter 879 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (2) As Garchomp jumped back and abandoned the clinch between him and Kyurem, Kyurem''s face crashed on the ground. With all that power it was putting behind to push Garchomp back and on top of that using Dragon w to hit Garchomp, as soon as Garchomp gave up and jumped back, Kyurem found itself going face-first to the ground as there was no resistance to its power. ?? As soon as it crashed Julian made a move. Julian "Now Dragon Rush" As soon as Kyurem went down, Julian called for another powerful Dragon Rush, Garchomp moved fast, as fast as before, he broke the sound barrier within seconds and crashed straight into Kyurem with the massive energy dragon. The explosion that followed it was massive, if it were not for them battling inside this mountain, the whole of Roshan city would feel the impact, it was this mountain that absorbed all the impact from their attacks, and nothing reached Roshan city except vibrations. The people in the city can take them as mini earthquakes but they knew they were not simple earthquakes, even if they didn''t see the explosions they could hear them, they also heard the loud roarsing from the mountain. They believed that two powerful pokemons are battling and they suspected one of them to be Kyurem, the local legend. They have never seen Kyurem in person but they believe that it exists because of all the destruction it has left behind throughout the years. People wondered what the other pokemon was but no one is brave enough to go there, there is a reason why there is a do not climb sign at the foot of the mountain. _______________________ Back inside Kyurem''sir, Garchomp''s Dragon Rush hit hard and was able to deal a good amount of damage to Kyurem but this just made things worse because this hurt Kyurem''s pride and it went ballistic. It charged at Garchomp swiping left and right and on top of that, it started to shoot Ice Beam randomly. Garchomp jumped around and dodge those random Ice Beams and swipes but it was getting harder to keep doing so, he soon got cornered against a wall. As Kyurem charged up another Dragon w and tried to swipe at Garchomp. Julian "Now Stone Edge" As Kyurem is so close to Garchomp right now, Julian saw this opportunity and used one of the strongest rock type moves. Being an Ice Type pokemon Kyurem has more than four type weaknesses and luckily for Garchomp, he has ess to four types of attacks that are super effective on Kyurem inside his massive arsenal of attacks. Garchomp mmed his ws onto the ground and used Stone Edge. As Kyurem was about to hit Garchomp with a Dragon w, it suddenly felt itself lose bnce and then it got impaled by a massive glowing rock from the ground which took it by surprise, the glowing massive rock hit right on its abdomen and sent it flying across their. Julian "Go, go, go, don''t stop, use Dragon Pulse" As Kyurem was still flying through the air, Garchomp sted a powerful Dragon Pulse at Kyurem but before the Dragon Pulse could hit Kyurem, it recovered in an instant and suddenly countered with its own Dragon Pulse as well. And its Dragon Pulse was, bigger, stronger, and faster than Garchomp''s, Kyurem''s special attack is as strong as its physical attack so Garchomp is at a huge disadvantage if Kyurem decides to stick to special attacks when dealing with Garchomp. Kyurem''s Dragon Pulsepletely engulfed Garchomp''s Dragon Pulse and continued towards him. Julian "Move out of the way and use Dragon Rush" Seeing that Garchomp''s special attacks won''t do much, Julian realized that close quarterbat was the best option. Garchomp charged up another Dragon Rush and rushed towards Kyurem with another massive energy dragon around his body. Kyurem saw the attacking and sted another Dragon Pulse and Garchomp but Garchomp dodged the Dragon Pulse andnded another hit on Kyurem and sent it crashing on the ground. Even though the attack dealt a lot of damage, Kyurem still got back to its feet as if it was nothing and roared in anger. It then suddenly summoned a raging snow tornado and sent it at Garchomp, Garchomp sensed the danger from this attack, if this hits he will get destroyed. He was not the only one, Julian also noticed this, luckily with Garchomp''s speed dodging this Blizzard will not be a huge problem but Julian knew that he has to be more careful, he has to continue sticking with his current strategy. Slowly chipping of Kyurem''s health and avoid any hits from it, since Kyurem is very aggressive in nature it has been easy for Julian to read its movements and predict them but he is also worried about Kyurem going berserk again. If it does that random swings and ice beams again, Garchomp will be in trouble,st time Julian got lucky and Kyurem cornered Garchomp in a ce where a Stone Edge could be used and Kyurem would have no way to dodge it but the same thing won''t work twice on an ancient beast like Kyurem. As the snow tornado got closer to Garchomp he moved to the side and dodged it but as soon as he did so, an Ice Beam came at him very fast, he was fast enough to react to it but not fast enough to dodge it, the Ice Beam hit his left arm and did a lot of damage to it. Garchomp suddenly came crashing down on the ground, just like a bird that was shot from the sky. Chapter 880 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (3) The Ice Beam that Garchomp got hit was powerful enough to severely damage him but he got lucky and only got hit on his arm. Garchomp came crashing into the ground from the sky as he couldn''t utilize his arms to fly, he crashed on the ground creating a deep pit, Garchomp grunted and got out of the pit and grabbed onto his left arm as he could feel the pain pulsing around his left bicep. ?? The Ice Beam hit hard and it was freezing his left arm but Garchomp used a small methrower and got rid of it. Julian didn''t expect Kyurem to be so fast, just after using a Blizzard it used Ice Beam, no matter how fast his reactions would have been, there was no way to dodge that. Seeing that Garchomp was down, Kyurem charged up another Ice Beam and sted it at Garchomp. Julian "Counter with Iron Tail" Seeing the fast iing attack, Julian decided to counter and use it as a distraction. Garchomp charged up a powerful Iron Tail as his thick tail was surrounded by thick steel energy, since steel type attacks have an advantage over Ice Types, and Iron Tail is a stronger attack than an Ice Beam, Julian was confident in Garchomp''s ability to counter it. As the Ice Beam got closer, Garchomp swung his tail by turning his whole body and smacking it into the Ice Beam, as the two attacks collided, it created a massive shockwave followed by flying ice shards. Garchomp was able to counter the Ice Beam sessfully and now there is a thick cloud between him and Kyurem acting as a screen and blocking Kyurem''s sight. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse" Garchomp shoot through the fog using a powerful Dragon Pulse, the Dragon Pulse moved fast and hit Kyurem and did a little damage but this gave away Garchomp''s position and Kyurem charged right into the fog using Dragon w to hit Garchomp but as soon as it entered the fog it got greeted by a surprise attack. Julian "Use Iron Tail" As soon as Kyurem entered the fog, it got pped by Garchomp''s tail right on its jaw, Julian on intention used that Dragon Pulse to give away Garchomp''s location hoping that the aggressive Kyurem charges at him without thinking. And just as Julian predicted it did the same, as soon as it charged in, Julian told Garchomp to get near the fog and change his location and as soon as Kyurem entered Garchompnded that powerful Iron Tail. Kyurem''s head snapped to the right and it went crashing into the ground and its body rolled over the ground but to Julian''s surprise, the Kyurem still got back to its feet, even aggressive than before. Kyurem roared and shook off that powerful hit as if it was nothing, even though Julian is slowly chipping away Kyurem''s health, he realized that this ancient monster has too much endurance and if this continues his Garchomp will go down from exhaustion. Till now every attack Garchomp has used is him going all out with them, not one attack from him was not intended to deal as much damage as he could to Kyurem but this was not going his way. Kyurem got more aggressive and charged at Garchomp again and this time it got very close to Garchomp as it was not pushed that far back. It got very close and used Sheer Cold, Julian saw this and got a little worried, if this hits, his Garchomp will go down without putting any fight and since Kyurem is already so close there is no way of dodging it. Julian "Use Protect then Dual Chop" Garchomp quickly put up a barrier in front of him and stopped the powerful ray of ice that came towards him, as soon as this ray of ice touched the Protect barrier, it froze the air around it and the temperature went down even further. The barrier shattered but it was able to stop the Sheer Cold, Garchomp followed after with Dual Chop as he charged up dragon energy in both of his arms and swung it at Kyurem. Kyurem used Iron Head to counter within those few seconds before the impact. The first swing from Garchomp slowed down Kyurem and the second swing stopped Kyurem in its track but Kyurem didn''t stop and sted an Ice Beam at point-nk range. Julian "Use Protect" Julian was on edge as Kyurem didn''t give them time to even counter, it kept attacking, Garchomp quickly put up a Protect and stopped the Ice Beam but it shattered in an instant and some ice shards hit Garchomp. They didn''t do much damage. Kyurem still didn''t give Garchomp any time and swung at him with another Dragon w. Julian "Counter with Crunch" Garchomp created a massive jaw of darkness and shut down hard on Kyurem who was inches away from hitting Garchomp with a Dragon w. The massive jaw came down hard on Kyurem, seeing the jaw shutting down on it, it used the Dragon w and hit it hard creating another massive explosion. The impact from these moves sent Garchomp flying through the air even though he didn''t get hit directly by them. Garchomp crashed against a wall and went on his knees, the impact alone was enough to hurt him because of the dragon energy bursting out into an explosion. Kyurem on the other hand just treated it like any other attack it took, even though it was getting hurt, it waspletely ignoring them and charging at Garchomp as if it didn''t take any damage at all. This made it hard for Julian to tell how much energy does Kyurem really have and for how long can it go on like this, is it faking it, or do Kyurem really have too good of defense to get hurt. Chapter 881 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (4) Julian wondered if Kyurem is really faking it or not, even if Kyurem has a ridiculous amount of endurance which it has proven to have, it should still be damaged after getting hit so many times by Garchomp with his full power. Julian thought about the current situation and if things really don''t go his way, he will have to pull out hisst resort. ?? _____________________ Seeing that Garchomp was down on its knee Kyurem got excited and sted another Ice Beam with full power. Julian "Use Protect" Julian made sure to use Protect every other move so that they don''t weaken and would be able to take those big special attacks that Kyurem is dissing out. Garchomp used Protect and blocked the Ice Beam from hitting him, once his protect shattered he moved after getting back to his feet, he cannot afford to stay in one ce. Julian "Use Dragon Rush" Garchomp moved in a zig-zag pattern while avoiding some more Ice Beams from Kyurem and then used Dragon Rush once he got closer to Kyurem. Another powerful attack from Garchomp, Kyurem saw the attacking and this caused Kyurem to get frustrated and angry, this pokemon ising at it and not giving up even after the beating he got from it. It roared and used Outrage, one of the most powerful dragon-type attacks, but this one came with a side effect, once used Outrage, it won''t stop after one use, and once it was done with the attack it will go into a confused state. A powerful aura covered Kyurem and it charged right at Garchomp who is charging towards it using Dragon Rush, both of them collided creating the biggest explosion of the day, most of the impact was absorbed by the mountain but the people in Roshan city felt the biggest vibration till now. Inside their, after the explosion took ce Garchomp was sent crashing against the ice wall, even though he used Dragon Rush, a powerful dragon type move, Kyurem was way stronger and he used a stronger move but it was not over. Once Garchomp got smacked against the wall, Kyurem charged at Garchomp again using Outrage as it was still not over. Julian "Drago Pulse" Garchomp gritted his teeth and sted a Dragon Pulse at the iing Kyurem but it didn''t do much. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse again" While Kyurem continued towards him, Garchomp sted another Dragon Pulse at it to slow it down even further but it was still not enough to stop Kyurem, when it got closer Garchomp jumped out of its way escaping from a disastrous situation. Those Dragon Pulse helped a lot slowing down Kyurem. Garchomp created some distance between him and Kyurem, he started to breathe heavier, his left arm is sore and he is not able to move it properly, his legs are shaking and he is having a hard time trying to keep up with this battle. Julian realized that he cannot win this battle with Garchomp all alone, this Kyurem is too strong, Julian thought about it for a second and finally decided to pull out hisst resort, he didn''t want to use it till the end because he wanted to see Garchomp''s limit right now. Garchomp was improving fast and this battle seems to have really helped him as well. Kyurem stopped as the outrage came to a stop and Kyurem became confused, it started to st Ice Beams everywhere with no proper target. It slipped and then crashed headfirst on the ground due to confusion, taking advantage of this time, Julian took out a mega stone from his pouch and tossed it towards Garchomp. Julian "Catch" Julian said while tossing the Mega Stone at Garchomp, Garchomp caught the Mega Stone and looked at it wondering what it is, he then realized that it was a Mega Stone, he didn''t think that Julian would have a Mega Stone that would bepatible with him. Well since Julian has taken down so many organizations, he has multiple Mega Stones that he slipped in for himself so that they could be used in the future, just like today. Julian "Hold on to it tight, it''s time to finally Mega Evolve" Garchomp got excited and grabbed onto it tightly, Julian pulled out his locket to which his keystone is attached. He channeled his energy into the keystone, the keystone suddenly started to glow and realized a blinding colorful light, the Mega Stone in Garchomp''s hand also started to react to the glowing keystone and started to glow as well. The light from the keystone traveled towards the Mega Stone and fused together covering Garchomp in white light. Garchomp suddenly started to change, his des got bigger and fused with his hands turning the end of his arms into scythe des, his jaw became bigger and the fin on his back became longer. As the light finally faded away, Mega Garchomp was revealed, right now Garchomp looked very menacing, his des looked very sharp and deadly and his jaws looked like it could crush boulders with just a simple bite. The aura he is releasing right now felt very destructive in nature as well. Kyurem who got out of its confused state realized the change in its opponent and knew that things are going to get a lot more dangerous. Chapter 867 - Julian Vs Drayden (1) As Julian walked in, he saw the same gym keeper from before, when the gym keeper saw Julian he smiled and weed Julian and sent him towards the battlefield where Drayden is currently waiting for his next opponent. As Julian entered the battle room, he saw Drayden waiting for his next opponent, Drayden also noticed Julian and got serious, he has been waiting for this battle in anticipation, since he knew that this is Julian he knew he had to give it his all. ?? Being a gym leader is a matter of pride for Drayden and from what he knows, Julian is known to destroy his opponents,pletely crush them without sweating at all, he also heard from other gym leaders on how easily he took them down. For Drayden this was something he cannot except, being a gym leader means being a powerful figure that cannot be defeated so easily. So he decided to go all out in this battle. Julian got on the battlefield and took his position and looked at Drayden. Drayden "You have finallye, I have been waiting for this moment" Julian "What can I say, I was too busy with other stuff" Drayden "Understandable, but let''s not waste any time. Referee" Drayden said and called for the referee to host the battle, the referee soon walked in and took his ce on the battlefield as well, he then looked at both trainers and started to exin the rules of the battle, it was the same exact rules as any other gym battle. Only the challenger will be allowed to switch pokemon in the middle of the battle and this will be a 3 vs 3 pokemon battle, Julian has already decided which pokemon he will use for this battle, he had decided this a month ago but he got dyed because of all the things that happened in the past few weeks. Once the referee was done with all his, he asked both trainers to pick their pokemon, and just like their first meeting, Julian sent Escavalier and Drayden sent out his Druddigon. With both pokemons on the battlefield, the referee waved his g and gave the signal to start the battle. Referee "You may start the battle" As soon as the referee gave the go, Drayden made the move Drayden "Druddigon, use Fire Punch" Drayden started off with a power move, he wanted to take down Julian''s pokemon as soon as possible and Escavalier being four times weak to fire, this move would do the job, Druddigon is a powerful physical attacker and this should do a lot of damage. His Druddigon used its wings and charged at Escavalier as a boost with its ws covered with burning hot me, as Druddigon got close Julian made his move as well. Julian "Counter with Brutal Strike" Julian''s taught Escavalier to fight by standing his ground, if an enemyes closer they will have little chance to overpower Escavalier, this also makes Escavalier vulnerable to special type moves from far away but Julian likes to keep Escavalier''s defensive measures a secret. As Druddigon got close and ready to punch Escavalier, Escavalier used hisnce-like arms and used Brutal Strike, he swung hisnce-like arm and countered, as the two attacks shed, it created a massive shockwave and Druddigon was sent rolling back while Escavalier soon his ground. This is what Julian thought him to do, with his super slow speed, Escavalier is not meant to dodge attacks, his only defense is hisnce-like hands and his metal armor. Even though his moving around speed is slow, his body movements are very fast, Julian put a lot of emphasis on this, if Escavalier cannot move fast, his hands should at least be fast enough to counter anything. Drayden was surprised, he didn''t think his Druddigon would lose a physical exchange, luckily the exchange was not too brutal on Druddigon and he came out with only a few scratches on his scale. Julian "Stand your ground for now" Julian said and waited for Drayden to make a move, Druddigon is not a pokemon that is good at Special Attacks so Julian knows he really doesn''t have to worry about Drayden''s Druddigon suddenly using an ultra-powerful fast fire type special attack. Drayden saw this current situation and knew he has to do more than just directly attacking with brute force. Drayden "Use Dragon Tail" Drayden really didn''t have any good special moves so his only options are physical moves, with his instructing Druddigon rushed towards Escavalier, as it got close, it nted its leg firmly on the ground and swung its hip to put more power behind its tail and struck with everything it got. Julian "Counter with Night sh" Escavalier used one of hisnce-like hands and shed at the Dragon Tail to counter it, as the two moves shed, it created another shock wave that was more impactful than before but what happened next surprised Julian. As Druddigon''s foot was nted, the force of the collision caused Druddigon to spin at a very high rate and strike the other side of Escavalier. Escavalier was pushed to the side a little but he just shook of the strike as if it was nothing, Julian would have been more impressed if that strike would have carried the same amount of power as the original Dragon Tail but it lost a lot of power because of the exchange. Julian "Impressive, but you need to do more than that". Chapter 883 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (6) Colress watched as the sleeping grunts went rolling down with the avnche, luckily for them, they might get rescued because the city is very close by and the officials will check on it. Colress was also relieved that Gengar tied him up or he could have been swept by the avnche as well. ?? The people in Roshan city heard the loud explosion and they were scared, the authorities in the city were already on alert because of the constant tremors that they felt, they were ready for a disaster. Soon the disaster they were waiting for arrived as they saw an explosion going off, they saw fire spewing out from the top of the mountain, then they noticed a massive avnche heading down, luckily no one lives near the foot of the mountain. The authorities moved quickly to the scene to make sure that everything was ok. _______________________ Back inside the cave, the whole ce was steaming and both pokemons could be seen on their feet, both pokemons were breathing heavily. Since both of them were paralyzed due to them using all their energy behind that Giga Impact, now they have to wait for the effect to wear off. Garchomp is doing great right now, he was the winner in that exchange as he pushed Kyurem back proving that he is a lot stronger than Kyurem in his mega evolved form, but when he gets to the same level as Kyurem he should be able to take on Kyurem without mega evolving. Julian is waiting for the effects of the Giga Impact to wear of so that he can go for an attack again, he is counting inside his head as he knows when Garchomp will be able to move again. As the number inside Julian''s head hit zero, he made the call. Julian "Now, Dual Chop" As soon as Garchomp heard Julian, he moved as fast as he could ignoring that he was just under paralysis just a second ago. He moved, creating sonic booms, and appeared right in front of Kyurem, Kyurem was taken by surprise, it was also waiting for the Giga Impact''s effect to wear off but as soon as it felt its body was free, its opponent was already in front of it. Garchompnded the first chop right on Kyurem''s head causing its head to smash into the ground, the second chop once againnded on Kyurem''s head and buried it underground. Julian "Dragon w" Kyurem lifted its head up from the pit but was once again greeted by a Dragon w to its face, Kyurem took the Dragon w to the head and turned around and used Iron Tail to hit Garchomp. Kyurem was about tond the Iron Tail when Julian called his move again. Julian "Use Protect" Kyurem''s Iron Tailnded on the Protect and bounced off it, the Protect shattered and Garchomp got his chance tond another hit. Julian "Finish this, Dragon Rush" Mega Garchomp charged up another Dragon Rush and he didn''t have to rush this time as the energy dragon exploded right on the spot as it found its target. Kyurem got sted away again as it crashed against the hard icy wall, this was the end as Kyurem couldn''t take it anymore, it couldn''t stand on its legs as this Dragon Rush dealt a lot of damage, if Kyurem gets hit again, it will go down. Kyurem grunted and looked at Garchomp and then at Julian, it knew that the human is behind its defeat, it could have won but this human was the reason the Garchomp won. Till now Kyurem has seen and met many humans, it has even eaten them but never has it seen someone like Julian, the one that seems to be able to control the ''source'' itself. Julian saw his chance and looked Kyurem into its eyes. Julian "I know you seek something toplete your self" Julian said. Kyurem who was down suddenly heard Julian and realized that it could understand what Julian is saying, it got serious after understanding what Julian said, it is indeed looking for something toplete itself but it could find none, it was the leftover left behind after the other two dragons were created. It hated the fact that it was the only one that was iplete, it traveled all across Unova and couldn''t find anything that could fulfill it, it then traveled all over the world but still couldn''t find anything that could fulfill it, then it came back to Unova and started to cause havoc and wanted to destroy everything and make sure nothing exists, just like its missing peace but it couldn''t do it because of Zekrom and Reshiram keeping it in check. It finally decided to iste itself inside this mountain it calls home, this mysterious mountain that has a power source beyond its realm, the same source as the human in front of it. Julian "I really don''t care about truth or idles, both are a good path to follow but what is the use of having them if you don''t have the power to support it. That''s what happened to Zekrom and Reshiram, they followed the ones they deemed worthy but both of them never achieved anything because theycked the power to back their beliefs, even though they areplete, they couldn''t achieve what they strived for. What I can give you is power, with this power you can get anything you want, maybe you won''t find this missing piece you are looking for, but you can create one of your own that will truly fulfill you" Julian said and finally took out an Ultra ball and tossed it towards Kyurem, Kyurem watched the Ultra Balling towards it, it could move out of the way and not get caught but it didn''t, it let the Ultra Ball hit its head and capture it. The Ultra Ball fell on the ground and started to move around with bleeping noises. Chapter 869 - Julian Vs Drayden (3) Drayden thought of his current situation and quickly called his Druddigon back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon to the battle. He sent out a Flygon. ?? This choice was indeed good, a fast physical attacker that can fly, but Julian already has ideas of finishing this round a little quicker than before, even though his Escavalier still seems to be fine, he is not. That exchange he had with Druddigon was very powerful and his Escavalier took a lot of damage from that and from what Julian saw, his Escavalier could continue for only a little while. He didn''t expect Drayden''s Druddigon to be so strong, with the power and resistance it disyed, it could easily go on for hours against an Elite-Four level pokemon, the only reason Julian got an edge over Druddigon was because of the massive attack power behind Escavalier''s attacks. Those massive damages were able to finish Druddigon much faster out it would have been a disaster if the battle continued any longer. Thatst attack was a way to boost his Escavalier''s strength as well, he needed that massive boost to end the next opponent quickly, if his Druddigon is already this though to handle, his other pokemons might cause some trouble. Julian''s current team is close to Elite Level pokemons as well but he had never faced opponents of this level in his 8th gym battle in other regions so this was a surprise. It looks like Drayden up the challenge for him. Julian "Come on, you don''t want to keep me waiting" He said while taunting Drayden to make his move, Julian is looking for that one hit kill and he needs the Flygon to get closer. Drayden "Not so fast, Flygon use Sr Beam" His Flygon flew up and charged up a powerful Sr Beam and sted it at Escavalier. Julian "Use Protect" Julian went for Protect and his Escavalier blocked the Sr Beam by putting up a force field in front of him. After blocking the Sr Beam sessfully he just stood his ground as Escavalier is a defensive counter attacker, it is not a good idea for Julian to go attacking upfront with Escavalier. Julian "You know, those won''t work, your best option is to get closer" Julian said with a smile but of course, he was bullshitting, the best way to fight his Escavalier was keeping distance and dragging out the battle as long as someone can but his opponents don''t need to know that. And Drayden bought it, well it was all an illusion, with Escavalier putting up an act of being tough and with his shell being steel, there was not a single scratch on him, which helped a lot in putting up the front of Escavalier being very tough. And hisst act of stopping the Sr Beam added to it as well. Drayden thought for a few seconds and went for the attack, he has confidence in his Flygon''s power and ability. Drayden "Use Dragon Rush, full power" Since Drayden was going for a physical attack, he wanted to go big and went for a Dragon Rush, a massive blue dragon made of energy surrounded Flygon and it charged at Escavalier. Julian smiled seeing the iing attack, it was time to end this round as well. Julian "Use Swords Dance then Mega Horn" Julian called for another power up before going for the kill, after the Swords Dance, Escavalier''s power is not off the room, as Flygon came rushing down with a powerful Dragon Rush, Escavalier formed a massive horn made of energy in front of him ready to smash it into Flygon. As Flygon got closer, Escavalier moved as well, two massively powerful energy-based physical attacks are going to collide, just them getting closer caused a tremor to run through the ground, and wind starting to blow everywhere. Everything started to shake and the gym''s protection system kicked in blocking the referee and the audience area behind a protective force field. The two attacks finally made contact and the explosion that came after it destroyed the whole battleground along with the roof of the gym. The shockwave traveled across the gym and shattered every window and ss item inside the gym, and when the explosion finally disappeared the state that the battlefield was in was shocking. There is a massive crater that haspletely reced the battlefield, it was as if a small meteor crashed here, and in the middle of this crater are two pokemons, one is Julian''s Escavalier who is barely able to keep himself floating while the other is Drayden''s Flygon who has beenpletely knocked out cold in the middle of the crater. Drayden is shocked by the oue of this battle, he didn''t expect such a massive explosion to take ce after the collision of the two attacks. He looked at the current battlefield and felt like crying, there is no battlefield to continue to battle at all and his Flygon has been knocked out as well. Drayden "Let''s end it here" He said looking at Julian. Julian "Are you sure?" Julian asked surprised. Drayden "Well, there is no ce to battle and from what I saw, you and your pokemon are more than enough to qualify for the league, you win this gym battle" As Drayden announced Julian as the victor, the referee stepped in to officially end this battle. Referee "The winner of this battle is the challenger since the gym leader has forfeited" With that the battle finally came to an end, Julian looked at his Escavalier and he was quite proud of him, he took more than Julian expected, he was expecting Escavalier to go down as well but he stood his ground till the end, this just proved how tough Escavalier really is. He called Escavalier back to his Pokeball and he finally collected the Legend Badge from Drayden. Chapter 870 - Arriving At Roshan City Well, Drayden had been put in a dilemma since thatst exchange destroyed the whole battlefield and it was not in any condition to battle and Drayden isn''t confident in taking Julian''s other pokemons in this battle as well. Before hepletely destroys his whole gym, he decided to end it, battling to the end was one thing but having his whole gym destroyed ispletely different. ?? A battlefield can be reced but the whole building cannot, he still needs to face another gym challenger and without a gym that is not possible, his only option was to forfeit for the better. He handed Julian the Legend badge and escorted him out of the gym. _____________________ Julian walked out of the gym with his final badge, the legend badge, he really didn''t expect the battle would be over so soon but he didn''t mind Drayden forfeiting the battle, he witnessed what happened to the battlefield and he knew that if the continued, the while gym might copse. He put away the legend badge and headed back to the hotel room he is staying at, he is already nning to hunt down Ghetsis, Ang already told him what Ghetsis was nning, she didn''t have his exact location but Julian doesn''t need it as well. He already has the map where Kyurem is located, if Julian gets lucky he might get there before Ghetsis can pinpoint the exact location. Julian didn''t sit around this time and checked out of the hotel room and decided to leave the city, but before that, he took out his phone and checked the map that he collected from ck City and white forest. The map showed that Kyurem is somewhere near Roshan City which is located on the northeast side of Lacunosa Town, without wasting any time Julian headed out of the city, his destination is Roshan City. He has never visited this city before even though he could, he had decided to deal with his gym challenges before he goes and finds Kyurem. Little did Julian know that Ghetsis also has the same interest, he wondered how Ghetsis will react when he destroys his ns once and for all, he already destroyed two of his headquarters and from what Ang told him, Ghetsis seems to be pretty pissed at him. Well, Julian also wants to give some special treatment to Ghetsis because he wanted to assassinate his fianc¨¦e and that is something unforgivable. ____________________ It took him two weeks to get to Roshan city. When he reached the outskirts of Roshan city he noticed how big this city really was, the city is built right next to a massiveke, the city seems to be divided into three parts. The middle of the city seems to be in the middle of theke while the other two parts are onnd connected to the central part of the city with bridges, he also noticed a massive snowy mountain close to the city as well. The source of theke clearly seems to be the snowy mountain as snow meltdown and flows down the mountain and umtes at the bottom forming this massiveke. Julian was mesmerized by the beauty of the scenery in front of him, he has seen many beautiful cities during his journey but Roshan city definitely stood out from the rest, the city looks very modern while its surrounding is filled with nature. The city was reflecting the light that is being reflected from theke making the city shine from far away. Julian ''Whoever nned the design of the city seems to have done it on purpose'' He thought and drove into the city, after entering the city, Julian started to look around, like every other city in Unova, this city is also very popted with people and pokemon, just like any other city, the crowd here is loud and cheerful. Julian spent some time roaming around the city and finally found himself a hotel to stay at, once he got a room for himself, he got in and took out hisptop, and started to look into Kyurem sighting in or closer to the city. From what he saw in the map he found andparing it to the new map of Unova, Julian is certain that Kyurem''s hideout is somewhere on that snowy mountain. He looked around the inte and found many people iming that they saw Kyurem but none of them had proof, the most recent rumor that Julian found was about something massive attacking a train out of nowhere. People didn''t know what was the thing that attacked the train but the marks that were left behind were massive, it was clear that a massive pokemon did it. And because of the local legend people believed that it was Kyurem who did it. Julian didn''t ignore this rumor because it can be true, Kyurem might have really attacked the train. He looked into this rumor and noticed that the train was actually passing through very close to the mountain as well. Julian ''I should fly up that mountain and see what can I find'' He thought and closed hisptop and started to n for his future. Chapter 871 - Up The Mountain After cleaning himself up, Julian walked out of the hotel and headed towards the snowy mountain, on his way to the mountain he found a group of stage people who had their whole body covered with a long robe. At first, Julian didn''t give them any attention but he soon started to see a lot of their people with robes, Julian got suspicious and followed one of the group as he tried to overhear their conversation. ?? After hearing them for a bit, it was clear to Julian that these people are none other than Team sma members who are in disguise, recently Team sma has been in a lot of trouble as the league started to go down very hard on them. Their members are being captured and put in prison every day, this caused a lot of problems for Ghetsis, but the bastard has a lot of money and workforce so he can continue for months before someone can force him into a corner. They must be wearing robes to blend in the crowd and avoid detection, if someone sees them they will get in trouble, right now the whole Unova knows about Team sma and their shenanigans, and people have also be really confident when ites to facing them after the news of their two headquarters being blown up came forward. The threat that the name Team sma had is now slowly dying down. Ghetsis only hope right now is to get control over the legendaries of the region because they are the only pokemons that can After listening to the conversation, it seems as if Team sma members were sent here to investigate weird pokemon sightings and report them to N, some of them seem to have found something and informed N about it. Julian never believed N to be the main person behind all these wrongdoings that Team smamitted. Julian knows that the person who really controls Team sma is none other than Ghetsis. _____________________ He stopped eavesdropping on the robed Team sma goons and made his way towards the foot of the mountain, when he got there he noticed a sign that indicated danger. The sign said, "DANGER, vicious pokemons ahead, do not climb the mountain at any cost" After reading the sign Julianpletely ignored the message and called out Garchomp, even though Garchomp doesn''t do good in a cold climate, he is tough enough to keep himself strong and alert for hours. Julian hopped on top of Garchomp which flew up and took him to the top of the mountain. It took Garchomp about ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain. When Julian reached the top he noticed a lot of Team sma members around the mountain top, he then made Garchompnd somewhere where no Team sma members are around. One Juliannded, he sent Garchomp back to his Pokeball and called out Gengar from his shadows, he told Gengar to do a full sweep of the Team sma camp and find some important people for him. If Ang''s information is right Ghetsis should be here as well. Gengar came out of his shadow and headed towards the Team sma camp as Julian shared his vision, Gengar did a full sweep of the camp in a few minutes but he didn''t find Ghetsis or any other important person in the camp. Julian frowned seeing this. Julian ''Looks like I need to force out some information from one of the goons'' He thought and told Gengar to capture a Team sma member who has been strayed away from the group, it was not very hard for Gengar to find someone who has been strayed away. With over a hundred men and women here, it was easy to find someone who was all alone. A man who was just having a leak at the edge of a cliff because of the cold temperature suddenly felt something grabbing his legs, he froze and looked down and saw two ck hands grabbing onto his legs. His face turned ashen white, and when he tried to scream, he couldn''t, he felt something wrapping his mouth and stopping him from even moving his mouth. His mumbling got dissolved into the harsh wind blowing in the area. Gengar then used his psychic power and started to read the grunt''s mind and find out where their boss is at, Julian also received this information directly without any second dy. Julian ''Looks like they already found the entrance'' He thought as he went through those thoughts. Julian [Gengar, put everyone here to sleep, we are going in] After hearing Julian, Gengar released mass hypnosis which affected every grunt that was around the camp, before they could evenprehend what is happening to them, they all tumbled on the ground and fell asleep. Julian got out of his cover and headed towards the entrance from the grunt''s memory, when he got there he saw two elite grunts asleep in front of the entrance, the mass hypnosis from Gengar worked its wonders. Julian "Let''s go in and meet this mother fucker" Julian said and his eyes went cold, there was no way he is going to forgive Ghetsis after what he tried to pull. Chapter 890 - The Little Heracrosses As soon as the agents inside the league were informed about Ghetsis being outside the league, all of them rushed out with guns and pokemons behind them. They noticed that Ghetsis was already tied up and unconscious, the agents surrounded him pointing their guns at him, two agents got behind his back and picked him up, and looked around the surroundings to see if anyone else is present in the vicinity. ?? "What happened here?" One of the agents asked the guard that was guarding at the front gate. "I don''t know, suddenly a ck hole like thing appeared out of nowhere and suddenly Ghetsis was thrown out of it" The guard said. "I see" The agent said confused, he didn''t know what happened and he doesn''t want to know, they have Ghetsis, and its enough, he doesn''t want to be bothered with interdimensional portals and stuff. ____________________ Gengar who was watching from the side giggled and made his way out of there, now he has other things to do, find the Miino or Ciino or whatever it is and give it the shiny stone. He learned that the one he is looking for is in Lostlorn forest, it is halfway through the whole region but Gengar has nothing to worry about, he can travel faster than any of Julian pokemon, but he never told Julian about this because he doesn''t want Julian inside his dimension. If Julian sees what Gengar keeps inside his dimension he might get in more trouble. He looked in one direction and opened and portal and went inside, he used the dimensional and traveled through space very fast, inside his dimension he can travel from one ce to another ten times faster than onnd. Just within a few minutes, he was in the Lostlorn forest. Gengar got out of the dimension and looked around, as soon as he walked out of the portal, he noticed a lot of pokemons run away from him because of his sudden appearance. Gengar "Gegege, I scared them" Gengar said and continued down the forest, he did take a signature scent from Ciino in order to trace the other sister but right now he cannot find anything, the scent doesn''t stay in a ce for quite a long time and he needs to find a trace of this scent before he can track this pokemon he is looking for. He made his way towards the center of the forest because it''s the best ce to start because he can always find someone who can inform him about things he wants to know. The pokemon that knows most about the forest is the king of the forest and this king of the forest can be very helpful for Gengar''s little mission. Gengar found himself in the middle of the jungle and looked around but he was surprised to see not many pokemon here. Gengar ''Hm, I wonder where all the pokemons are?'' He questioned and looked around the center of the jungle before finally finding a group of young Heracross ying around tossing massive rock around using their horns. Gengar was not much surprised by the strength these Heracross disyed, they are known for their ridiculous strength, even though they are not big they are known to lift more than a ton and throw them around with no effort. The Heracrosses was quite young, but they were very big for their age as well, but it is to be expected because they live in the densest and the most resourceful part of the forest. One Heracross suddenly tossed the rock a little further andnded right in front of Gengar, the Heracrosses noticed Gengar and were suddenly frightened. They used their powerful legs and jumped back to make some distance between them and this new unknown pokemon. Gengar "Gegege, don''t worry, I am not someone you should be afraid of" He said andughed creepily. "Dad said not to talk with creepy strange pokemons" One of the Heracross said while looking at the creepy Gengar. Gengar "Gegegege, don''t worry, I am no stranger, I just want to meet the king of this jungle" He said with his creepy smile. "What do you want without day, do you work for the Pinsirs, if you are, we are going to beat you up" The other little Heracross said while swinging its horn. Gengar "Oh my, don''t be so aggressive, I just want to meet the king who also seems to be your father" He said. "You can''t meet him, he is resting after the fight" Gengar "Oh, there is a fight going on?" He asked. "Yes, the Pinsirs are challenging dad for the position of the king but they are never gonna win, dad is too strong" The other Heracross said. Gengar "Gegege, good for you, believing in your dad, can you inform him about me and that I want to meet him, I can even help him with this Pinsir problem" He said. "Are you telling the truth?" One of the Heracross asked as it was a little worried about its dad, thatst fight was pretty bad, even though its dad won, it was still badly injured from it. Chapter 873 - Kyurem Julian made his way to the other side of the cave and what he saw shocked him, he saw four people teaming up and trying to battle a massive armored grey color pokemon which seems very ferocious right now. The massive grey pokemon sted a powerful Ice Beam at one of the pokemon and sent it sting through the air and crashing into the ice wall, went the pokemon made an impact with the ice wall, the ice wall shattered and left behind a massive spiderweb of crack and right in the middle is the pokemon these seem to be stuck and knocked out cold. ?? Julian looked at this imposing pokemon and was mesmerized by how majestic it looked, its head seems to be covered with a very thick hard crystal, it also had these same type of crystals acting as its wings as well, Julian took his time to observe this pokemon and noticed that one of its crystal wings is smaller than the other one. It looked ipletely just like the legends depicted, if the legends are true then Kyurem can bebined with Reshiram and Zekrom to form the ultimate dragon pokemon. After watching the majestic pokemon Kyurem, Julian focused his vision on the four people that are trying to capture Kyurem. It is none other than Ghetsis, N, Zinzolin, and Colress, Julian continued to look around and saw the Shadow Triads were on the ground knocked out cold along with their pokemon. It was very clear that this is a one-sided massacre from Kyurem''s side, Ghetsis overestimated his own power and his team to take on Kyurem, from what Julian is looking at even his Garchomp might not be able to take it down, he will need Victini''s support. Well, it was not a massive surprise to Julian, even his Kanto team were pushed back by a single Groudon and they had more training than Garchomp and Victini, in Julian''s eyes that Groudon and this Kyurem are on the same level. But this also means his Garchomp''s and Victini''s rate of growth is much faster than his Kanto pokemons as well, their speed of growth is even faster than Julian''s Infernape but those were the times when Julian was still learning, even though he did really good. The today of him wouldpletely crush the Julian of the past with ease. Ghetsis seems to be using a Bisharp, N is using a Zoroark, Zinzolin is using his Weavile, and Colress just had his Beheeyem sent flying across and smashed into the ice wall. Colress was clearly out of the battle but he still seems to be in focus as he is currently holding a massive tranquilizer in his hand ready to fire when the time is right. Ghetsis used his Bisharp''s speed and power and tried to put some pressure on Kyurem, N also tries to do the same and attack Kyurem with full power, but their attacks seem to have no effect on the majestic Kyurem, and it just sooks of those attacks. Zinzolin saw this and almost gave up, he could tell that there was no use in him facing off against the monster that is in front of them, he hopes that N and Ghetsis can distract it for a second so that Colress can get a shot. While Julian was watching all this happen, he noticed that Gengar returned after checking out the other two cave entrance as well, one was a dead end and the other lead to this same ce. Julian [You remember our friend, Colress, make sure that no matter what happens, he should not fire that tranquilizer] Gengar giggled and went towards Colress and disappeared into his shadow without being noticed by anyone while Julian kept a watch on the battle. This is his first time seeing this legendary pokemon battle, and he wouldn''t miss it. As the battle continued, it soon became apparent that no matter how hard Ghetsis and N tried, they are not able to even put a scratch on the big fellow, this battle was only being dragged along was because of the speed Ghetsis''s Bisharp, N''s Zoroark, and Zinzolin''s Weavile had, they could clearly outmaneuver the beast but it is not enough. Soon Zinzolin got caught by a powerful Dragon Pulse and sent it flying through the air and crashing into the ice wall just like Colress''s pokemon, Zinzolin''s Weavile became another decorative piece in the wall. Now that only Ghetsis and N are left things are started to go south for them, Ghetsis''s Bisharp got hit by a sh and sent it rolling through the icy ground as ice shards flew everywhere, luckily for Bisharp, it is resistant to normal type attacks or that single sh would have put an end to this whole battle. N "Father, we need to retreat, Kyurem is too strong, let bring out followers to subdue it first then I will try to talk to it, right now we are in a dire situation." N said while looking at the situation, he is a little worried about other safety right now. Ghetsis "NO, I will get this Kyurem, and I don''t intend to wait any longer" Ghetsis said and suddenly started to run towards Kyurem recklessly. Chapter 892 - Helping Heracross Gengar didn''t want to upset the little bastards, he already knows how annoying they get when they start to cry or are pissed at something. "You better be" ?? The little Heracross said. Heracross "All three of you, get out" The father Heracross said and chased the little bugs out of the nest leaving Heracross, its mate, and Gengar alone. Gengar "Gegege, cute little fellows, but well it really doesn''t matter, you can help me track down the Miinos and Ciinos and I might help you deal with the Pinsir problem and also help with that serious injury of yours" Gengar said. Heracross "How did you know?" The Heracross asked, all of his injuries are internal, nobody should find out without him telling them. Gengar "Gegege, others can''t see but I can, I can even tell when you will stop breathing in 3 days, 11 hours, 24 minutes, a minute over or under, can''t promise that" Gengar said with a giggle, being someone who can travel through dimensions, he has a knack for time. He can easily tell how long a thing willst. When they were created. When they will get destroyed because every element in this world has a timer, of course, these things can be destroyed before their times run out by an external force, just like what is happening with this Heracross, it could have lived much longer but due to its internal damage, Gengar can predict the exact time of Heracross''s death because of the constant change that is happening to Heracross. Being involved with space/time is slowly changing Gengar in a different way as well. Heracross "Why are you willing to do so much for just finding a bunch of Miinos or Ciinos?" Gengar "Too be honest, I am just toozy to go around looking for a bunch of pokemons when others can do it for me, and if you are able to find be the right one, in exchange I will heal you up and make you stronger to face off against the Pinsirs" Gengar said. Heracross "Fine, but how do you intend to save this dying body of mine?" Gengar "Gegege, here take this" Gengar said and opened a small portal in the air and pulled out a handful of shining ashes, if Julian was here he would be surprised as it''s Sacred Ash, he would definitely wonder where Gengar got this from. But it is for only Gengar to know and no one''s business (A/N, in fact, he sneaked some when Julian collected it) Heracross "What is that?" Gengar "Gegege, Ho-Oh''s sacred ash, it can heal any kind of mortal wound in this world in an instant" Heracross "Where did you get this and why are you willing to use such a precious item on me?" Gengar "Well, the precious the item, the more in debt you will be too me, so maybe in the future if I need something more you will have to oblige and help me" Gengar said. Heracross "Fine" Heracross said and signaled its mate to get the Ho-Oh''s ash but before it could pick it up, it was stopped by Gengar. Gengar "But I will like to make one thing very clear. If you think you can just use this and just get away with it, you arepletely wrong, gegegegegege" Gengarughed and released his aura just inside the nest so that the ones outside couldn''t sense it, as soon as the Heracross and his mate sensed it, it shook them to the core. Gengar "Gegege, you get it, right?" Heracross nodded and took the ashes, as soon as he ate the ashes he felt his body healing itself, the internal injuries started to heal themselves. Heracross felt good and within five minutes all its injures were healed. When Heracross opened his eyes he realized that he felt stronger than before, the ashes helped him level up as well. Gengar "Gegege, looks like you leveled up, you healed up and you are stronger, I did my part of the agreement and now it''s your time" Gengar said. Heracross knew that he cannot go back on his promise, this Gengar was too scary but he already made the deal. Heracross "Fine, I know where the Ciinos and Miinos are, I will send someone to bring them here, you can wait here" Gengar "Great, I will look around, gegegege" Now that Gengar was here how could he miss the great chance to do business, all the Heracrosses here are wild so they can easily be scammed. He got out of the nest with a big proud smile, he saved the little Heracrosses father and he didn''t even have to tell them about it, he didn''t see them suffer or didn''t have them clinging onto him like bugs from happiness. He now has to figure out how to scam all the Heracrosses from all their precious belongings. Chapter 893 - Business An hour passed and Gengar is seen sitting behind a desk as a line of Heracrosses standing in a queue exchanging their precious stuff with Gengar in exchange for cheap sugar syrup that Gengar picked from someone''s house. Gengar ''Gegege, I didn''t think this syrup would be so useful, I just took it for some white bread but now I can use it to scam pokemons, gegegege" ?? Gengar thought as he poured some syrup in the hands of the Heracross in front of him in exchange for some berries and precious stones. Gengar ''Greatest business idea ever'' Gengar said while continuing to collect his new collections. But his sessful business had toe to an end because one of the Heracross that was sent to bring in the Ciino came back with all the Ciinos along with it. Gengar noticed them and sighed. Gengar "Oh, shop closed, nice doing business with you all" Gengar said and got up from his chair and put away his desk and chair and approached the massive army of Ciinos. Gengar "Thank you Heracross, but you can leave now" He said and sent the Heracross away and looked at the Ciino army. Gengar "Now let''s see" He said and looked at the army trying to find the aura simr to the Ciino he met at the mall but he was disappointed because he couldn''t find it at all. Gengar ''Looks like I have to wait for the other group'' As soon as he thought that, another Heracross came with an army of Miinos right behind it. Gengar looked at the group and smiled. Gengar ''Finally'' He thought as he found the aura he was looking for, he waited for Heracross to get close before sending it away. Gengar "You can go now, Heracross" He sends the Heracross away and pointed at the Miino he was already locked on. Gengar "You,e here" He called. The Miino looked at him confused and tilted its little head. Gengar "Come here, I have something to give you" He said as he watched the little Miino make its way through the group, once it got close to him, he took out the Shiny Stone and ced it in front of the Miino and then touched its head and passed his memory of the Ciino to it. Once he was done, the Miino got very happy and immediately touched the Shiny stone and it started to glow, once the light faded away, a Ciino stood in its spot, it happy then made its way towards it new group, the group that belongs to the Ciinos. Gengar "Looks like my work here is done" He thought and turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and thought of something, he turned back and looked at the massive number of Miinos and Ciinos who look very confused right now. Gengar ''I cannot pass such a golden opportunity'' He thought to himself and got back to business. An hour passed and he earned more fortune in these two hours than he has ever in his whole life, he was having a great time when he suddenly heard an explosion and he was not the only one who had it, the ground shook causing all the Miinos and Ciinos to run away from fear. The Heracrosses who were also part of the queue went into hiding while some of them took a stance for the uing battle, Gengar who stunned by the sudden change in scenery. Gengar ''Who the fuck ruined my business?'' He questioned as he looked at the massive boulder that was hurled into the area. Gengar looked with cold eyes, as a bunch of Pinsirs made their way into the Heracrosses territory, a massive Pinsir was in the front of the group, clearly the leader of the group. Pinsir "Heracross get out, today I take your ce as the king of this forest" The Pinsir dered war against the Heracross. The leader Heracross who was inside his nest walked out swinging his massive horn. Heracross "No way you are going to win, I will put an end to this once and for all" The Heracross roared and rubbed its foot on the ground ready to battle but before he could move, he felt a chill down his spine, he was not the only one who felt it, everyone around the area felt it, the chilling fear that traveled through the area effecting every pokemon one after the other. But the most terrified one of them all was the leader Pinsir because all this was targeted towards it and not the others, the fear they were feeling were just the remaining fear lingering in the area. Gengar "Gegegege, you actually ruined my business, you are going to pay for this, gegegegege" Gengar''sugh traveled through the area putting everyone in fear. Chapter 894 - Businessmon Gengar''s aura was shaking the Pinsir leader to its core, it tried to take a step back but it couldn''t it was frozen from fear. Gengar "Gegege, you ruined my business and now you will pay for it, gegegege" ?? Gengar''sugh echoed all over the area as ever pokemon heard it, they didn''t expect this creepy but friendly Gengar to be so scary, the Pinsirs have no idea what is happening but they know one thing and that is, they are getting fucked. Gengar "Heracross, move aside, I will deal with this bug myself" Gengar said and pushed Heracross aside as if he didn''t way anything, Heracross struggled to keep his bnce as he got pushed to the side but he couldn''t do anything except try his best to keep his bnce. After cing both his foot on the ground, Heracross looked at Gengar in surprise, and then at the Pinsir leader, he realized that the Pinsir is going to get destroyed. Gengar "Hey little bug,e here, let be beat the shit out of you" Gengar said while pointing at the Pinsir across him, the Pinsir didn''t know what to do in this situation but it cannot back down. If it backs down it will be considered as a weak leader and it can be disastrous for its future as a leader. Gengar "Come on, are you a pussy, look your whole gang is watching you, you cannot just back of now" He said and taunted the Pinsir to charge at him. The Pinsir is in a dilemma but it knows that it cannot back of now, its whole gang is watching, without thinking much it let out a war cry snapping its horns and exposing its mandibles, it charged at Gengar using Mega Horn. Gengar smiled at the futile attempt, he extended his arms and weed Pinsir with open arms, as soon as Pinsir got closer with its massive glowing horns, Gengar grabbed them and stopped Pinsir right on its spot. The energy around Pinsir''s horn shattered in an instant and disappeared into thin air, Pinsir is shocked, it looked at Gengar with wide eyes, it tried to push back and use its immense strength but it was no use, Gengar didn''t budge an inch. Gengar "Gegege, and here I thought you will be somewhat strong, you are just mediocre" Gengar said and lifted Pinsir by its horn and hung its whole body horizontal to the ground, Pinsir screamed and tried to free itself but it couldn''t, it shook its arms and legs to no avail. Gengar "Gegege, let''s end this" He said and mmed the Pinsir face-first on the ground, the m shook the whole area and caused a small tremor to travel across the area, Gengar let go of the horn and looked at the Pinsir which was nted on the ground. Gengar "Gegege, did I hit too hard?" Heughed and asked. Every pokemon in the area was shocked by this, they didn''t expect the biggest rival of the current king to get destroyed so easily, it didn''t evenst a few seconds in that battle, they looked at Gengar as if he was somethingpletely different, they didn''t view him as a pokemon. The Heracross children who brought Gengar here are as shocked as every other pokemon, they didn''t expect that the weird creepy pokemon they brought here was so strong. Gengar then looked at the Pinsir gang who looked at him with fear and smiled. Gengar "Let me introduce myself, I am a businessmon who was a postmon a few hours ago but that doesn''t matter now, now I am a businessmon and I do business, so let''s do some business, gegegegege" He said while looking at the Pinsir gang, with so many potential customers, how could he just miss the chance to earn more (scam more). ________________________ Gengar spends a whole night in the forest doing "business" and leaves after gaining a lot, he used his dimension and traveled through space, and appeared right in front of the hotel Julian is staying at. He returned back to Julian''s room and saw Julian looking at the TV. Julian [Where were you?] Julian asked. He got the news of Ghetsis being delivered to the league hours ago and with Gengar''s speed he should have been back before evening but it''s 12 am right now. Gengar [Gegege, I got distracted] Gengar said andughed. Julian "*sighs* anyways, you can go back" Gengar went back into Julian''s shadow leaving Julian all alone in the room. Julian went back on the couch and turned on to TV, he just finished watching one of Chloe''s movies, he changed the channel and switched on the news to find if the league has informed the public about Team sma and Ghetsis. As he has expected, the league worked fast, it is all over the news, he watched as the TV anchor told the news about Ghetsis being captured by the league agents, the anchor then informed that the league is working on bringing down every remaining member of Team sma. Along with this, the public was also informed about every illegal thing that Ghetsis is a part of and was working on, this caused public outrage, people started to destroy every product that was made by Ghetsis''spany. The stocks of Ghetsis''spany crumbled in a single day, there is no escape for Ghetsis''spany as it will go bankrupt. Julian ''I would never want to be in the receiving end of the public outrage'' He thought and chewed down on his chips. Chapter 877 - The Big Battle Gengar quickly took Colress out of Kyurem''sir, he reached the camp area where all the Team sma grunts were fast asleep and released Colress from the dark aura. ___________________ ?? Colress who was inside the dark aura suddenly felt arge amount of g-force, he felt he was traveling at supersonic speed, but since he is inside this dark aura he is not suffering from the whish. He then felt his body slowing down and finally stopping, he then watched as the ck aura around his body slowly started to disappear into his shadow, soon the aura around him also started to disappear and he was finally able to see what is outside. He was surprised to find himself outside the cave in the middle of the camp, he looked around and noticed something strange, he saw every Team sma grunts asleep on the cold snow. Colress is confused, he turns around to look at the cave entrance which caused him to suffer from a fright of a lifetime as he saw a big Gengar looking at him with a wide grin on his face. Colress ''A Gengar and I think I know who this belongs to'' Colress had a clear idea of what happened, he recognized Julian''s Gengar and if Julian''s Gengar is here, Julian is also here. As he was thinking of a way to getting out of here he suddenly felt motionless again and when he looked down he saw a rope was around his body moving by itself and tying him up. Colress "Hey what are you doing?" Colress asked Gengar confused on why he is being tied up. Gengar "Gegegegege" Gengar justughed andpletely tied up Colress and then tied him next to a pole so that he cannot escape, once Colress was secured in a ce, Gengar left, he went back into the cave to rejoin Julian. Colress didn''t know what was going on, he just felt helpless right now. He looked at his surroundings and sighed, luckily he was wearing a very thick coat that helped him to keep warm in this cold area. ______________________ Back inside their, Kyurem noticed the dangerous aura suddenly disappear, it didn''t know why it left but it was relieved, it noticed that even after its Draco meteor the aura didn''t disappear and it was able to even withstand all of them. Kyurem was a little relieved as this powerful being just left itsir but it was also worried about how much danger this being can cause. Kyurem then noticed another entity in hisir, he turned his head and looked at the direction it sensed it from. It saw another human standing there looking at it with no fear in the human''s eyes, Kyurem looked at this human and felt something different about him, it could sense the majestic power circling inside and outside this human. This power, it has sensed it before, it was all around it, in every object, every element, every molecule but it couldn''t ess this power no matter how hard it tried but this human in front of it was doing it with such ease. It was as if this energy wasing from this human''s body itself. Kyurem felt''s Julian intentions as well, it could see the look in Julian''s eyes, this human came to battle it and for some reason, it didn''t hurt its pride because it felt that this human was worthy, someone that can control the mysterious energy is definitely a worthy opponent. Kyurem meets Julian''s gaze and let out a roar, powerful enough to cause the whole mountain range to tremor in its might. _______________________ Julian looked at the majestic beast in front of him and got excited, this time he was going to battle an opponent that is beyond his level and he ns to use only one pokemon who has a serious disadvantage against Kyurem as well. This was a recipe for disaster and even if Julian loses, he loses to an ancient monster that had rained terror on thisnd''s habitats and still has its presence known to the current generation. Julian "I am here to collect you" Julian said and took out a Pokeball and released Garchomp from it. Garchomp took the stage and looked at the current situation, he saw a destroyedyer and a lot of dragon energy lingering around the area, he looked and the destruction caused here and knew that only pokemons stronger than him can do this. He then looked at his opponent, the massive gray pokemon with crystal around its head, chest, and back. A very powerful dragon pokemon, Garchomp could also sense the powerful ice energy inside his opponent, his biggest weakness, Garchomp turned and looked at Julian a little nervous. This was the first time he is going to face an opponent that is not his seniors, even though his seniors are stronger they never harmed him but in this battle, he will get hurt bad and he knows this but he is not backing off from this fight. Julian "It''s ok to be nervous, but the best part is that you will be able to go all out today" He said. Garchomp nodded his head and looked at Kyurem once again and released his powerful barbaric aura indicating that he is ready to take Kyurem on in this one-on-one battle. Julian also got ready and took a deep breath and went full focus mode on this. Chapter 878 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (1) Garchomp could already sense the massive amount of dragon energy inside his current opponent, there is also this danger of Ice that the pokemon in front of him can release in massive amount and power. His opponent is stronger and levels higher than him but it didn''t matter right now, he is focused and ready to battle, with Julian right beside him to guide him to victory there was nothing Garchomp was afraid of and even if things go bad, there is always back up that is hiding in Julian''s shadow. ?? Gengar has already returned back to Julian''s shadow and looking through his dimension, Kyurem never sensed himing back because Gengar made sure to hide his aurapletely this time. Julian was also a little wary about the current battle, he wondered how strong this Kyurem really is, when he saw it battle with N and group he knew that it wasn''t even using all its power, it was just destructive in nature because it was being annoyed by the other party. Julian ''Let''s get this started then'' He thought and got ready, he took a deep breath and called out his first move. Julian "Garchomp, let''s go, use Dragon Rush" Julian decided to start off with a big move from the very beginning, he clearly wants to figure out the limit of Kyurem as soon as possible so that he cane up with a way to defeat Kyurem, and even after he is able to find Kyurem''s weakness and not able to take it down, Julian has a special something that could help Garchomp have a chance to take down Kyurem. Garchomp roared and knew Julian''s intention, he charged up his dragon energy to the max as a massive dragon made of energy covered his body and charged at Kyurem at full speed. Garchomp''s speed was so fast that it broke the sound barrier. Kyurem saw thising and was surprised by how powerful its current opponent was, if this Dragon Rush hits it knew that it will get hurt. Kyurem roared and shook the wholeir and charged at Garchomp with its full speed as well, even though it is not as fast as Garchomp, it is bigger, heavier, and stronger. It used Dragon w and swiped at the iing energy dragon. As both attacks collided it caused such a powerful shockwave that it turned every rock in the vicinity into dust, the explosion burnt everything that isn''t Ice. As the explosion faded away Julian noticed this, he realized that the ice wasn''t melting at all, even though everything here seems to be made of ice they don''t seem to be melting at all, even the massive rocks got disintegrated and the ice is still intact. Julian knew that there is something weird about this mountain and how it is formed, that deep abyss and this unmeltable ice, he decided to look into it after he has dealt with Kyurem. But he put this thought to the back of his head and concentrated on the ongoing battle, after that exchange his Garchomp was pushed back and Kyurem stood its ground, even though Dragon Rush was the stronger attack between the two moves used, Garchomp was still pushed back in the exchange. Well Julian wasn''t surprised, he had expected this to happen but he also got a rough estimate of Kyurem''s strength, the only thing that worries Julian right now is Kyurem''s endurance, if it is anywhere close to Groudon or Kyogre from Hoenn, he will have an even harder time to take down Kyurem. Kyurem didn''t seem to back down, after pushing Garchomp back, it charged at him again roaring as loud as possible, it used Iron Head and dove headfirst towards Garchomp. Julian "Garchomp, use Dual Chop full power" Julian knew that this battle is going to be even harder seeing how aggressive Kyurem ising at Garchomp. Garchomp also roared and charged up another powerful attack, both of his hands glowed and got covered with explosive dragon energy, as Kyurem got closer to him, he swiped his left hand first and then swung his right hand andpletely stopped Kyurem on its tracks while also being pushed back a little. The first swipe slowed down Kyurem while the second one put a stop to its momentum. Kyurem''s legsnded on the ground and it tried to push Garchomp with pure physical power but Garchomp was not going to back off so easily, his legs dug deep into the ground and he nted himself properly. Garchomp crossed his arms and tried to push Kyurem back but both of them were not moving an inch forward or backward. Both of them were growling while exerting all their power behind their legs. Kyurem roared even louder and started to put everything behind its legs which allowed it to sessfully push Garchomp back. Garchomp tried to push back but he couldn''t, he is getting overpowered right now. Kyurem then suddenly decided to use its ws to attack Garchomp out of nowhere, it charged up a Dragon w and swung at Garchomp while its head is still locked with Garchomp''s arms. Julian "Back of, quick" Julian saw the attacking from a mile away, he was always attentive over every action Kyurem was about to make, seeing that Kyurem was charging up another attack, he didn''t waste any time to order Garchomp to back off. Listening to Julian, Garchomp decided to abandon his position and jumped back as fast as he could, as he jumped he saw the tip of Kyurem''s w scraping on his belly leaving a small mark behind. This was a very close call but this also helped Garchomp and Julian in a way. Chapter 879 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (2) As Garchomp jumped back and abandoned the clinch between him and Kyurem, Kyurem''s face crashed on the ground. With all that power it was putting behind to push Garchomp back and on top of that using Dragon w to hit Garchomp, as soon as Garchomp gave up and jumped back, Kyurem found itself going face-first to the ground as there was no resistance to its power. ?? As soon as it crashed Julian made a move. Julian "Now Dragon Rush" As soon as Kyurem went down, Julian called for another powerful Dragon Rush, Garchomp moved fast, as fast as before, he broke the sound barrier within seconds and crashed straight into Kyurem with the massive energy dragon. The explosion that followed it was massive, if it were not for them battling inside this mountain, the whole of Roshan city would feel the impact, it was this mountain that absorbed all the impact from their attacks, and nothing reached Roshan city except vibrations. The people in the city can take them as mini earthquakes but they knew they were not simple earthquakes, even if they didn''t see the explosions they could hear them, they also heard the loud roarsing from the mountain. They believed that two powerful pokemons are battling and they suspected one of them to be Kyurem, the local legend. They have never seen Kyurem in person but they believe that it exists because of all the destruction it has left behind throughout the years. People wondered what the other pokemon was but no one is brave enough to go there, there is a reason why there is a do not climb sign at the foot of the mountain. _______________________ Back inside Kyurem''sir, Garchomp''s Dragon Rush hit hard and was able to deal a good amount of damage to Kyurem but this just made things worse because this hurt Kyurem''s pride and it went ballistic. It charged at Garchomp swiping left and right and on top of that, it started to shoot Ice Beam randomly. Garchomp jumped around and dodge those random Ice Beams and swipes but it was getting harder to keep doing so, he soon got cornered against a wall. As Kyurem charged up another Dragon w and tried to swipe at Garchomp. Julian "Now Stone Edge" As Kyurem is so close to Garchomp right now, Julian saw this opportunity and used one of the strongest rock type moves. Being an Ice Type pokemon Kyurem has more than four type weaknesses and luckily for Garchomp, he has ess to four types of attacks that are super effective on Kyurem inside his massive arsenal of attacks. Garchomp mmed his ws onto the ground and used Stone Edge. As Kyurem was about to hit Garchomp with a Dragon w, it suddenly felt itself lose bnce and then it got impaled by a massive glowing rock from the ground which took it by surprise, the glowing massive rock hit right on its abdomen and sent it flying across their. Julian "Go, go, go, don''t stop, use Dragon Pulse" As Kyurem was still flying through the air, Garchomp sted a powerful Dragon Pulse at Kyurem but before the Dragon Pulse could hit Kyurem, it recovered in an instant and suddenly countered with its own Dragon Pulse as well. And its Dragon Pulse was, bigger, stronger, and faster than Garchomp''s, Kyurem''s special attack is as strong as its physical attack so Garchomp is at a huge disadvantage if Kyurem decides to stick to special attacks when dealing with Garchomp. Kyurem''s Dragon Pulsepletely engulfed Garchomp''s Dragon Pulse and continued towards him. Julian "Move out of the way and use Dragon Rush" Seeing that Garchomp''s special attacks won''t do much, Julian realized that close quarterbat was the best option. Garchomp charged up another Dragon Rush and rushed towards Kyurem with another massive energy dragon around his body. Kyurem saw the attacking and sted another Dragon Pulse and Garchomp but Garchomp dodged the Dragon Pulse andnded another hit on Kyurem and sent it crashing on the ground. Even though the attack dealt a lot of damage, Kyurem still got back to its feet as if it was nothing and roared in anger. It then suddenly summoned a raging snow tornado and sent it at Garchomp, Garchomp sensed the danger from this attack, if this hits he will get destroyed. He was not the only one, Julian also noticed this, luckily with Garchomp''s speed dodging this Blizzard will not be a huge problem but Julian knew that he has to be more careful, he has to continue sticking with his current strategy. Slowly chipping of Kyurem''s health and avoid any hits from it, since Kyurem is very aggressive in nature it has been easy for Julian to read its movements and predict them but he is also worried about Kyurem going berserk again. If it does that random swings and ice beams again, Garchomp will be in trouble,st time Julian got lucky and Kyurem cornered Garchomp in a ce where a Stone Edge could be used and Kyurem would have no way to dodge it but the same thing won''t work twice on an ancient beast like Kyurem. As the snow tornado got closer to Garchomp he moved to the side and dodged it but as soon as he did so, an Ice Beam came at him very fast, he was fast enough to react to it but not fast enough to dodge it, the Ice Beam hit his left arm and did a lot of damage to it. Garchomp suddenly came crashing down on the ground, just like a bird that was shot from the sky. Chapter 880 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (3) The Ice Beam that Garchomp got hit was powerful enough to severely damage him but he got lucky and only got hit on his arm. Garchomp came crashing into the ground from the sky as he couldn''t utilize his arms to fly, he crashed on the ground creating a deep pit, Garchomp grunted and got out of the pit and grabbed onto his left arm as he could feel the pain pulsing around his left bicep. ?? The Ice Beam hit hard and it was freezing his left arm but Garchomp used a small methrower and got rid of it. Julian didn''t expect Kyurem to be so fast, just after using a Blizzard it used Ice Beam, no matter how fast his reactions would have been, there was no way to dodge that. Seeing that Garchomp was down, Kyurem charged up another Ice Beam and sted it at Garchomp. Julian "Counter with Iron Tail" Seeing the fast iing attack, Julian decided to counter and use it as a distraction. Garchomp charged up a powerful Iron Tail as his thick tail was surrounded by thick steel energy, since steel type attacks have an advantage over Ice Types, and Iron Tail is a stronger attack than an Ice Beam, Julian was confident in Garchomp''s ability to counter it. As the Ice Beam got closer, Garchomp swung his tail by turning his whole body and smacking it into the Ice Beam, as the two attacks collided, it created a massive shockwave followed by flying ice shards. Garchomp was able to counter the Ice Beam sessfully and now there is a thick cloud between him and Kyurem acting as a screen and blocking Kyurem''s sight. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse" Garchomp shoot through the fog using a powerful Dragon Pulse, the Dragon Pulse moved fast and hit Kyurem and did a little damage but this gave away Garchomp''s position and Kyurem charged right into the fog using Dragon w to hit Garchomp but as soon as it entered the fog it got greeted by a surprise attack. Julian "Use Iron Tail" As soon as Kyurem entered the fog, it got pped by Garchomp''s tail right on its jaw, Julian on intention used that Dragon Pulse to give away Garchomp''s location hoping that the aggressive Kyurem charges at him without thinking. And just as Julian predicted it did the same, as soon as it charged in, Julian told Garchomp to get near the fog and change his location and as soon as Kyurem entered Garchompnded that powerful Iron Tail. Kyurem''s head snapped to the right and it went crashing into the ground and its body rolled over the ground but to Julian''s surprise, the Kyurem still got back to its feet, even aggressive than before. Kyurem roared and shook off that powerful hit as if it was nothing, even though Julian is slowly chipping away Kyurem''s health, he realized that this ancient monster has too much endurance and if this continues his Garchomp will go down from exhaustion. Till now every attack Garchomp has used is him going all out with them, not one attack from him was not intended to deal as much damage as he could to Kyurem but this was not going his way. Kyurem got more aggressive and charged at Garchomp again and this time it got very close to Garchomp as it was not pushed that far back. It got very close and used Sheer Cold, Julian saw this and got a little worried, if this hits, his Garchomp will go down without putting any fight and since Kyurem is already so close there is no way of dodging it. Julian "Use Protect then Dual Chop" Garchomp quickly put up a barrier in front of him and stopped the powerful ray of ice that came towards him, as soon as this ray of ice touched the Protect barrier, it froze the air around it and the temperature went down even further. The barrier shattered but it was able to stop the Sheer Cold, Garchomp followed after with Dual Chop as he charged up dragon energy in both of his arms and swung it at Kyurem. Kyurem used Iron Head to counter within those few seconds before the impact. The first swing from Garchomp slowed down Kyurem and the second swing stopped Kyurem in its track but Kyurem didn''t stop and sted an Ice Beam at point-nk range. Julian "Use Protect" Julian was on edge as Kyurem didn''t give them time to even counter, it kept attacking, Garchomp quickly put up a Protect and stopped the Ice Beam but it shattered in an instant and some ice shards hit Garchomp. They didn''t do much damage. Kyurem still didn''t give Garchomp any time and swung at him with another Dragon w. Julian "Counter with Crunch" Garchomp created a massive jaw of darkness and shut down hard on Kyurem who was inches away from hitting Garchomp with a Dragon w. The massive jaw came down hard on Kyurem, seeing the jaw shutting down on it, it used the Dragon w and hit it hard creating another massive explosion. The impact from these moves sent Garchomp flying through the air even though he didn''t get hit directly by them. Garchomp crashed against a wall and went on his knees, the impact alone was enough to hurt him because of the dragon energy bursting out into an explosion. Kyurem on the other hand just treated it like any other attack it took, even though it was getting hurt, it waspletely ignoring them and charging at Garchomp as if it didn''t take any damage at all. This made it hard for Julian to tell how much energy does Kyurem really have and for how long can it go on like this, is it faking it, or do Kyurem really have too good of defense to get hurt. Chapter 881 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (4) Julian wondered if Kyurem is really faking it or not, even if Kyurem has a ridiculous amount of endurance which it has proven to have, it should still be damaged after getting hit so many times by Garchomp with his full power. Julian thought about the current situation and if things really don''t go his way, he will have to pull out hisst resort. ?? _____________________ Seeing that Garchomp was down on its knee Kyurem got excited and sted another Ice Beam with full power. Julian "Use Protect" Julian made sure to use Protect every other move so that they don''t weaken and would be able to take those big special attacks that Kyurem is dissing out. Garchomp used Protect and blocked the Ice Beam from hitting him, once his protect shattered he moved after getting back to his feet, he cannot afford to stay in one ce. Julian "Use Dragon Rush" Garchomp moved in a zig-zag pattern while avoiding some more Ice Beams from Kyurem and then used Dragon Rush once he got closer to Kyurem. Another powerful attack from Garchomp, Kyurem saw the attacking and this caused Kyurem to get frustrated and angry, this pokemon ising at it and not giving up even after the beating he got from it. It roared and used Outrage, one of the most powerful dragon-type attacks, but this one came with a side effect, once used Outrage, it won''t stop after one use, and once it was done with the attack it will go into a confused state. A powerful aura covered Kyurem and it charged right at Garchomp who is charging towards it using Dragon Rush, both of them collided creating the biggest explosion of the day, most of the impact was absorbed by the mountain but the people in Roshan city felt the biggest vibration till now. Inside their, after the explosion took ce Garchomp was sent crashing against the ice wall, even though he used Dragon Rush, a powerful dragon type move, Kyurem was way stronger and he used a stronger move but it was not over. Once Garchomp got smacked against the wall, Kyurem charged at Garchomp again using Outrage as it was still not over. Julian "Drago Pulse" Garchomp gritted his teeth and sted a Dragon Pulse at the iing Kyurem but it didn''t do much. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse again" While Kyurem continued towards him, Garchomp sted another Dragon Pulse at it to slow it down even further but it was still not enough to stop Kyurem, when it got closer Garchomp jumped out of its way escaping from a disastrous situation. Those Dragon Pulse helped a lot slowing down Kyurem. Garchomp created some distance between him and Kyurem, he started to breathe heavier, his left arm is sore and he is not able to move it properly, his legs are shaking and he is having a hard time trying to keep up with this battle. Julian realized that he cannot win this battle with Garchomp all alone, this Kyurem is too strong, Julian thought about it for a second and finally decided to pull out hisst resort, he didn''t want to use it till the end because he wanted to see Garchomp''s limit right now. Garchomp was improving fast and this battle seems to have really helped him as well. Kyurem stopped as the outrage came to a stop and Kyurem became confused, it started to st Ice Beams everywhere with no proper target. It slipped and then crashed headfirst on the ground due to confusion, taking advantage of this time, Julian took out a mega stone from his pouch and tossed it towards Garchomp. Julian "Catch" Julian said while tossing the Mega Stone at Garchomp, Garchomp caught the Mega Stone and looked at it wondering what it is, he then realized that it was a Mega Stone, he didn''t think that Julian would have a Mega Stone that would bepatible with him. Well since Julian has taken down so many organizations, he has multiple Mega Stones that he slipped in for himself so that they could be used in the future, just like today. Julian "Hold on to it tight, it''s time to finally Mega Evolve" Garchomp got excited and grabbed onto it tightly, Julian pulled out his locket to which his keystone is attached. He channeled his energy into the keystone, the keystone suddenly started to glow and realized a blinding colorful light, the Mega Stone in Garchomp''s hand also started to react to the glowing keystone and started to glow as well. The light from the keystone traveled towards the Mega Stone and fused together covering Garchomp in white light. Garchomp suddenly started to change, his des got bigger and fused with his hands turning the end of his arms into scythe des, his jaw became bigger and the fin on his back became longer. As the light finally faded away, Mega Garchomp was revealed, right now Garchomp looked very menacing, his des looked very sharp and deadly and his jaws looked like it could crush boulders with just a simple bite. The aura he is releasing right now felt very destructive in nature as well. Kyurem who got out of its confused state realized the change in its opponent and knew that things are going to get a lot more dangerous. Chapter 882 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (5) Garchomp looks menacing and powerful in his new form, he could feel the power inside his body, he felt very lightweight because of the immense power that has built up inside his body. He looked at his arms and realized that his single ws have been reced and turned into des that are sharp enough to cut boulders like butter. ?? Garchomp felt like he could lift a mountain with his newfound strength. Garchomp''s still seems to be in control as it has been recorded that Mega Garchomps seems to be more vicious and very hard to handle, that is why Julian didn''t hand over the Mega Stone to Garchomp, he wanted to make sure that his Garchomp is mentally strong to handle the huge power-up that he will get. The power-up was not small as well, his physical power has gone up to a ridiculous amount, his special attack has gone up as well, both of his defense has improved as well, the only thing that he didn''t gain is speed and health but it doesn''t matter right now. ______________________ Kyurem sensed the dangering from Garchomp right now, it decided to maintain its distance from Garchomp and sted a powerful Ice Beam at him. Julian "Counter with methrower" Seeing the iing Ice Beam, Garchomp inhaled arge amount of air and sted a destructive methrower at the Ice Beam, this time Garchomp is notcking behind in his special attack, with the powerup, this methrower should be able to counter any move from a first-rate legendary pokemon. The methrower Garchomp released shed with the powerful Ice Beam from Kyurem, as soon as contact was made, a sizzling sound was created, it was clear that the fire was melting the ice, Garchomp''s methrower started to move forward while melting the Ice Beam. But it didn''tst long as Garchomp ran out of it, Kyurem was also the same, the Ice Beam stopped and the only thing that was left behind was a buddle of steamy water. Julian "Now, Dragon Rush" Now that Garchomp has gotten that massive boost, he should be able to hold his own against Kyurem''s strength so Julian went for the big hits again, at the end of the day, Garchomp is a physical attacker and its best for him to be a close-range attacker than use his special attack, even though they have be powerful, Julian wants to end this battle quickly. Even though the Mega Evolution has helped Garchomp gain back some of his endurance and healed him a little, he is still damaged and the longer Julian''s battle, the worse it will get for him. Garchomp charged up another Dragon Rush but this time it was different from before, the dragon energy was very potent and the energy dragon was a lot bigger and purple in color. The massive energy dragon charged at Kyurem at extreme speed, seeing the iing attack Kyurem roared and used Blizzard. A raging snow tornado charged at the massive energy dragon but the dragon just tore through the raging snow tornado with no effort, the tornado got destroyed and Garchomp continued towards Kyurem and the massive energy dragon snapped its jaw shut on Kyurem. The explosion was big and the ground shook heavily, Kyurem could be seen being sted out of the smoke and crash against the wall. Julian "Dragon w" Garchomp shot out of the smoke roaring with his right-hand scythe glowing with dragon energy, as Kyurem got on its feet it saw a sh as Garchomp''s face appeared right in front of it and it got hit by a powerful Dragon w sending it rolling on the ground once again. Just these two attacks caused some heavy damage to Kyurem that Garchomp struggled to do before, the Mega Evolution really did create a massive gap between normal Garchomp and his Mega form. Kyurem got back to its feet and roared in anger, it didn''t like that its getting pushed back so easily. It charged at Garchomp while using Giga Impact, the power behind this Giga Impact is massive, being one of the most powerful pokemon moves, every trainer teaches this move to their pokemon but ites with side effects like paralysis after its use. Kyurem seems to already know this attack and it wants to go all out. Julian "Use Giga Impact as well" Garchomp also roared and charged at Kyurem using Giga Impact, both Giga Impact caused the air to vibrate, the sound barrier broke, and before the attacks even shed, a shockwave traveled across their blowing up everything. And once the Giga Impacts collided it created a massive explosion, the explosion was so big that it traveled through the entrance of the cave trying to burn everything in its path. The shockwave exploded out of the entrance of the mountain from where Julian entered, Colress who was tied outside was chilling on his own when he felt the ground shook again then he got the scare of his life as he heard of shock boome out of the cave entrance followed by a ming explosion. He felt his heart stop for a second when he saw this and crouched his head between his knees to protect himself, he left the shock-boom hitting his body, since he was tied up he got lucky and stayed on the spot. The grunts who were sleeping were not so lucky as they got sted and rolled down the mountain followed by the snow avnche. Chapter 883 - Kyurem Vs Garchomp (6) Colress watched as the sleeping grunts went rolling down with the avnche, luckily for them, they might get rescued because the city is very close by and the officials will check on it. Colress was also relieved that Gengar tied him up or he could have been swept by the avnche as well. ?? The people in Roshan city heard the loud explosion and they were scared, the authorities in the city were already on alert because of the constant tremors that they felt, they were ready for a disaster. Soon the disaster they were waiting for arrived as they saw an explosion going off, they saw fire spewing out from the top of the mountain, then they noticed a massive avnche heading down, luckily no one lives near the foot of the mountain. The authorities moved quickly to the scene to make sure that everything was ok. _______________________ Back inside the cave, the whole ce was steaming and both pokemons could be seen on their feet, both pokemons were breathing heavily. Since both of them were paralyzed due to them using all their energy behind that Giga Impact, now they have to wait for the effect to wear off. Garchomp is doing great right now, he was the winner in that exchange as he pushed Kyurem back proving that he is a lot stronger than Kyurem in his mega evolved form, but when he gets to the same level as Kyurem he should be able to take on Kyurem without mega evolving. Julian is waiting for the effects of the Giga Impact to wear of so that he can go for an attack again, he is counting inside his head as he knows when Garchomp will be able to move again. As the number inside Julian''s head hit zero, he made the call. Julian "Now, Dual Chop" As soon as Garchomp heard Julian, he moved as fast as he could ignoring that he was just under paralysis just a second ago. He moved, creating sonic booms, and appeared right in front of Kyurem, Kyurem was taken by surprise, it was also waiting for the Giga Impact''s effect to wear off but as soon as it felt its body was free, its opponent was already in front of it. Garchompnded the first chop right on Kyurem''s head causing its head to smash into the ground, the second chop once againnded on Kyurem''s head and buried it underground. Julian "Dragon w" Kyurem lifted its head up from the pit but was once again greeted by a Dragon w to its face, Kyurem took the Dragon w to the head and turned around and used Iron Tail to hit Garchomp. Kyurem was about tond the Iron Tail when Julian called his move again. Julian "Use Protect" Kyurem''s Iron Tailnded on the Protect and bounced off it, the Protect shattered and Garchomp got his chance tond another hit. Julian "Finish this, Dragon Rush" Mega Garchomp charged up another Dragon Rush and he didn''t have to rush this time as the energy dragon exploded right on the spot as it found its target. Kyurem got sted away again as it crashed against the hard icy wall, this was the end as Kyurem couldn''t take it anymore, it couldn''t stand on its legs as this Dragon Rush dealt a lot of damage, if Kyurem gets hit again, it will go down. Kyurem grunted and looked at Garchomp and then at Julian, it knew that the human is behind its defeat, it could have won but this human was the reason the Garchomp won. Till now Kyurem has seen and met many humans, it has even eaten them but never has it seen someone like Julian, the one that seems to be able to control the ''source'' itself. Julian saw his chance and looked Kyurem into its eyes. Julian "I know you seek something toplete your self" Julian said. Kyurem who was down suddenly heard Julian and realized that it could understand what Julian is saying, it got serious after understanding what Julian said, it is indeed looking for something toplete itself but it could find none, it was the leftover left behind after the other two dragons were created. It hated the fact that it was the only one that was iplete, it traveled all across Unova and couldn''t find anything that could fulfill it, it then traveled all over the world but still couldn''t find anything that could fulfill it, then it came back to Unova and started to cause havoc and wanted to destroy everything and make sure nothing exists, just like its missing peace but it couldn''t do it because of Zekrom and Reshiram keeping it in check. It finally decided to iste itself inside this mountain it calls home, this mysterious mountain that has a power source beyond its realm, the same source as the human in front of it. Julian "I really don''t care about truth or idles, both are a good path to follow but what is the use of having them if you don''t have the power to support it. That''s what happened to Zekrom and Reshiram, they followed the ones they deemed worthy but both of them never achieved anything because theycked the power to back their beliefs, even though they areplete, they couldn''t achieve what they strived for. What I can give you is power, with this power you can get anything you want, maybe you won''t find this missing piece you are looking for, but you can create one of your own that will truly fulfill you" Julian said and finally took out an Ultra ball and tossed it towards Kyurem, Kyurem watched the Ultra Balling towards it, it could move out of the way and not get caught but it didn''t, it let the Ultra Ball hit its head and capture it. The Ultra Ball fell on the ground and started to move around with bleeping noises. Chapter 884 - The Endless Pit Julian watched as the Ultra ball started to move around and beep, for a few seconds it didn''t stop but it soon came to an end as the ball stopped moving along with a final loud beep indicating that the capture has been sessful. Julian sighed as he finally caught his very first first-rate legendary pokemon, Julian always wanted to catch a first-rate legendary pokemon but he stopped himself because he didn''t want to cause an imbnce in the region but Kyurem was different. ?? It was an outcast and nobody wanted it to be around, it liked to live a solitary life and didn''t bother with anything that would bring changes to Unova, unlike the other two dragons, even though both of them were rivals, they wished for the good of Unova and acted as its guardians while Kyurem didn''t care at all. Kyurem was the perfect candidate for Julian''s first first-rate legendary pokemon and he finally got it, it was also the reason why Julian hunted it for such a long time, he would have waited a little longer and trained his Garchomp a little more but Ghetsis made his make his move a little faster. But at the end of the day, he still won, though he had to use Garchomp''s Mega Evolution it was still a victory none the less. Julian did a good job in keeping Garchomp away from those big Ice-type attacks from Kyurem. ______________________ Julian looked at the still Ultra ball in the ground and took a deep breath, he finally got a big one, but he also knows the challenge that ising forward, he will have to put a lot of time on Kyurem and teach it how to battle and use its move in a more effective way. There is a saying that you cannot teach new moves to old pokemons and Kyurem is as older as it gets but Julian is up for the challenge. He walked towards the Ultra ball and picked it up, he smiled and released Kyurem from the Pokeball. Kyurem came out and roared loudly and looked at Julian who is standing right in front of it. Julian "When you have power beyond anyone''s reach, you don''t need to find anything to fulfill you, you can create something of your own that will make youplete" He said and touched Kyurem''s jaw. Kyurem growled while looking at Julian, he still doesn''t seem to be too friendly. Julian "Fine, but you will have to get used to it" Julian said and removed his hand from Kyurem''s jaw, Garchomp who was standing right behind Julian lost his Mega Evolution and returned back to his normal form, Garchomp seems really tired right now. Julian gave him some berries and sent him back to his Pokeball, Kyurem noticed the berries in Julian''s hand and stared at them, Julian noticed this and smiled before passing down some to Kyurem. Kyurem didn''t even wait and chomped down on the berries and ate all of them at once. Now that Julian has captured Kyurem, he wanted to do something else right now, he wanted to find out what is this mountain actually, the ice here didn''t melt at all, not even one bit. This surprised him a lot, he wondered what kind of power was holding this massive structure intact, even with all that firepower and heat radiated from Garchomp''s and Kyurem''s attacks, this ce still feels so cold. Julian "Do you know from where this coldness ising?" He asked Kyurem. Kyurem looked at Julian for a few seconds before nodding its head. Julian "Great, then take me there" Kyurem thought for a second before agreeing to take Julian to the chilling coldness source, the source of this coldness is something even beyond its capabilities, the reason it decided to take Julian there is because the aura around Julian is simr to this coldness. Even Kyurem wants to know what this source is all about, it came here in the first ce after sensing the power of this source, it has lived in this mountain for more than a century but it could never figure it out, it never felt any connection to the source. The only benefit it got from living here was its ice control, it understood its ice energy better after observing the source and the effect it had on this mountain. ______________________ Kyurem lifted Julian by biting on his cor and tossed him on top of its back and flew out of itsir, it then brought Julian right in front of the deep endless pit. Julian ''So this is really the origin'' Julian thought as he looked down the pit. As he wondered how Kyurem will enter, he was taken by surprise as Kyurem just jumped right into the dark endless pit, Julian was stunned and held onto Kyurem tightly as he felt the free fall and with how heavy Kyurem is, he knew he was falling very fast, he could feel it. The speed that they were descending down was thrilling, Julian could feel his blood heading towards his head, if it was not for his special body, he would have suffered a stroke, too much blood flow to the brain can cause a stroke due to loss of neurological function. Julian calmed down and waited for them to reach the depth of this pit but from what Julian is noticing, it might take them some time. Chapter 885 - Another Plate Just like Julian expected, this fall is too long, they have been falling for a few minutes and they are still not at the bottom of the pit. Julian was thinking about when he will reach the bottom when he suddenly felt like his body passed through a thin film, he looked down and noticed a light source at the end. ?? He got a little excited as he realized that they somehow entered a different dimension, Kyurem suddenly spread its wings and slowed down its descend as they got closer to the light source. Julian was finally able to see the end of the pit, when he looked at it he was surprised by what he saw, so many bones of dead people and pokemon, so many people and pokemons have fallen down and smashed into the ground, none of these bones are intact in shape. They are shattered into pieces from the impact, looks like nothing survived. Kyuremnded on the ground causing a loud bang to travel across the area but it looks like no sound could escape this dimension. This separation between these two dimensions can be passed very easily physically but things like sound and aura don''t seem to leak out, Julian could sense the Omniforce when he was in Kyurem''sir or while he was looking straight down the abyss but now he could clearly feel it. The abundance amount of Omniforce present in this area. Julian ''No wonder this mountain has such potent ice energy'' He thought as he looked at the source of the coldness, Kyurem could survive here because of its ice affinity, Julian could feel the coldness but with Omniforce he neglected the effect. He knew the reason behind this coldness, it was because of the source and the source was none other than a te. Not just any te, a te that belongs to Arceus, he has seen one of these tes before, it was a water te and it helped Crystal a lot and made it very good at controlling water type attacks. Julian got a little excited as he looked at the ice te stuck inside a frozen ice pir. Julian ''Didn''t expect to find another one!'' Julian got very lucky and found the first te, he didn''t expect to luck out again. Just as he was thinking about this, Crystal who was having its long nap got up and rushed out of Julian''s pocket and looked at the Ice Pir in front of it. It got excited seeing the Ice Pir and circled around Julian happily for finding it, Kyurem noticed the little fellow and was surprised to see it, it could tell that the little fellow was very simr to a Mew but it was very different as well but the main thing that separated it from the Mews was the aura around it. It has the same aura just like Julian, not as potent as him but still very thick. Crystal then rushed towards the Ice Pir and banged its red color crystal right into the Ice Pir, as soon as it banged into it, it bounced off and released a small squeak and rubbed its head to chase away the pain. Julian chuckled seeing this and walked towards the Ice Pir as well, Crystal looked at the Ice Pir before putting its tiny hand on it and channeling its energy into it, suddenly the te inside it started to glow and the ice aura around the pir started to collect in one ce forming a ball and it then entered Crystal''s red crystal and into its forehead. Crystal started to glow brightly as an icy fog surrounded it, Julian had seen this before, it was the same when Crystal absorbed something from the water te. The glow around Crystal disappeared and it fell asleep. Julian ''Looks like Crystal will once again go into a deep slumber!'' He thought and took out Crystal''s Pokeball and sent it back to its Pokeball where it can sleep peacefully. Kyurem who was watching this was surprised by seeing what happened, it noticed the icy aura enter the little mew like pokemon''s body, Kyurem got a little jealous because it was trying to find a way to get that aura but it couldn''t. It was as if the aura had its own consciousness and didn''t bother to even acknowledge Kyurem but it entered the little fellow''s body as soon as it touched the ice pir. Julian "Let''s go" He said while looking at Kyurem. Kyurem nodded and grabbed Julian and tossed him on its back and flew up, they passed the barrier and got out of the abyss and they got back to Kyurem''syer. Julian "You should rest for now" Julian finally sent Kyurem back to its Pokeball, now Julian is all alone inside their with Gengar in his shadow. Julian "Gengar, it''s time, bring out that bastard" Gengarughed inside Julian''s shadow and opened a portal from which Ghetsis came out, he already seems to be tied up on a chair ready to get tortured. Chapter 886 - Torturing Ghetsis When Gengar brought Ghetsis out, he was already tied to a chair and his eyes seem to be lifeless for some reason. Julian looked at Ghetsis and his eyes turned cold. ?? Julian ''This bastard tried to kill the people I love, death is a quick and easy way to go, you won''t be so lucky'' He thought to himself and looked at Ghetsis''s eyes, he noticed how lifeless they were, Gengar must have mentally tortured him a lot, Gengar could tell that Julian hates this man so he didn''t hold back at all. Only Gengar and Ghetsis know what kind of mental torture he went through, Julian didn''t need to find out and he has no interest in finding out as well. He looked at Ghetsis and suddenly pped him hard, the sound of his hand hitting Ghetsis''s face traveled across their, it was a sharp loud sound. Ghetsis who seemed dazed snapped out of his dazed state as he felt the sharp pain on his cheek, he shook his head and tried to move his hand to rub his cheek but then realized that he is still tied up. He opened his eyes wide and started to scream in fear, the mental torture that he went through is still fresh in his mind and he couldn''t handle it, as he screamed he felt another p on his face. Julian "Shut up, I don''t have time for your shit" He said while looking at Ghetsis. Ghetsis got back to his senses and looked at Julian. Ghetsis "It''s you.....why?'' Ghetsis asked as his voice trembled, he knew that the torture he went through was because of this man in front of him. Julian "You are why? You dared to kill my loved one and you think you can just get away with it, now that you have a taste of what mental torture feels like, it''s time for physical torture" Julian said and pulled out some rubber gloves and wore them, he didn''t want to gets his hands dirty. After wearing them he punched Ghetsis right on the jaw and sent him crashing into the ground along with the chair he is tied to. Ghetsis got knocked out cold, he got rattled and could make right from left, he could feel the taste of iron inside his mouth as he started to bleed from inside, he felt his teething out of his gums. As he got back to his sense, he spits out blood along with his teeth, blood started to flow out of his mouth due to the absence of teeth inside his mouth. His right cheek swelled as he grunted in pain, Julian then grabbed his hair and lifted him back up, Ghetsis looked at Julian with hatred but there was more fear in his eyes. Julian "Don''t worry, this is just the start" He said and took out some pliers, this plier has been sitting inside his pouch for quite a while now and it needs to be used. Ghetsis saw the pliers and looked at Julian in fear. Ghetsis "Wha..what? are you going to do?" He asked afraid. Julian "You will soon find out" He said and grabbed a finger on Ghetsis''s left hand that is tied up to the chair''s arm, Ghetsis tried to struggle but the ropes didn''t allow him to move at all. Ghetsis "Stop, you will regret this" Ghetsis said as he saw Julian grabbing his finger and cing it right in between the jaws of the pliers. Julian "Do you really think you are in a position to talk?" Julian asked and pressed the plier''s handle and snapped Ghetsis''s finger, Ghetsis felt the bone on his fingertip shatter and let out a blood-curdling scream of pain, tears flowed down his eyes as he watched his finger spurt blood. Ghetsis "Arrggghghhhh" He shouted and shook his body to ease away the pain but it didn''t work, the chair shook along with him but Julian stabilized it soon after. Julian "You are going through this because you chose to pick the wrong target, I warned you, I showed you what I can do but you still went after me, do you really think I wouldn''t know about your little n. Your own delusion of ruling the world put you in this position, you ignorant fool, your carelessness could have caused the death of many innocent people. I told you to stop but you didn''t, I wonder from where you idiots get the idea of world domination?" Julian said and snapped down on the next finger causing Ghetsis to scream in pain, Julian continued this, he snapped one finger after the other until all of Ghetsis''s fingertips were crushed. Ghetsis almost lost it, the only voice that came out of his mouth were random mumbles that Julian didn''t understand. Julian "You old man, you don''t have the mental strength and you are to take over the world?" Julian asked. The more he looked at Ghetsis the angrier he got, he couldn''t just let this man go, it looked like he was getting numb to the pain. Julian thought and took out some high tier portion and chucked it down Ghetsis''s mouth along with some very potent sitrus berries, if only Julian had Crystal right now, he could ask it to use Heal Pulse and cure Ghetsis but Crystal has gone into a slumber and he has no other pokemon that knows Heal Pulse or can learn them. The effect of the potions and berries started to do their magic as Ghetsis stopped bleeding and his fingers started to heal at an exceptional rate. Julian waited for Ghetsis to get back to his sense so he can torture him again and again. Chapter 887 - Finishing The Ghetsis Business As Ghetsis got back to his senses he realized that his fingers were intact, he wondered if he was dreaming but that thought soon shattered away as he noticed Julian right in front of him with a bloody plier in his hand. Ghetsis "Wait, let me go, I beg you, I won''t do it again" ?? It was very clear that Ghetsis didn''t want to go through that torture again. Julian didn''t mind him at all and continued with his torture, he repeated the process but soon Julian realized something, he didn''t feel anything even after putting Ghetsis through torture, Julian didn''t feel satisfied. Even though this bastard came after his loved ones and even after putting Ghetsis through his misery, Julian didn''t feel any kind of aplishment after doing so. He thought he would feel some kind of fulfillment from taking his revenge but he didn''t, he looked at Ghetsis who seems to be mumbling words that made no sense. Julian "Che, bastard" He said and put his pliers away and removed his gloves, he then gave Gengar some potions and berries and told him to feed them to Ghetsis after a few hours and let him suffer through the pain. Gengar took the potions and berries and took Ghetsis away with him into his dimension. Julian ''I should have just killed him, I feel nothing by torturing someone who is weaker'' He thought to himself. If it were the past, Julian would not have thought the same but now he is changing, slowing turning, and giving in to his primal instinct. He thought about it for a second before finally giving up on the idea of putting Ghetsis through any amount of torture, he would just hand Ghetsis over the to league along with all the evidence Zinzolin sends him over. The worst thing that can happen to Ghetsis is his whole money empire getting destroyed. Julian finally walked out of the cave and looked at the bright sun in the sky, he then looked around and realized that an avnche took ce, all the team sma grunts have been washed away with the avnche. He then looked around to find Colress and finally noticed him, just like he had instructed Gengar tied up Colress to a pir. He looked at Colress who seems to be lost in his own thoughts, he then walked towards Colress and stood right in front of him. Colress lifted his head and looked at Julian. Colress "Mr. Julian, thank you for saving me, but I am wondering why did you tie me up here" Julian "About that, now that you are jobless and fund less, I think I found a perfect job for you" Julian said. Colress "Oh, I am intrigued" Julian "You will be working for my organization Omni Guardians, you will help my organization and I will fund your projects." Julian didn''t beat around the bushes and told him directly. Colress "I ept" Colress also didn''t wait around and took the job, he would be an idiot if he didn''t take this job, it would be just like his previous job but this time he would not be tied up to a criminal organization. Julian "Good, you can visit the league headquarters and tell them that I sent you, they will then take you to the ce where you will be working" Colress "I understand" Colress said. As soon as he said it, he felt the ropes around him loosen, he then got back to his feet and looked at Julian and fixed his sses which were on his nose. Colress "What now?'' He asked while looking at Julian. Julian "What? Do you want me to give you a piggyback ride down the mountain?" He asked. Colress "No need, I will take my leave" Colress said and walked past Julian and went down the mountain, Julian also had nothing else to do, he called out Garchomp, got on top of his back and flew back to his hotel, andnded on the roof. He returned back to his hotel room andid down on his bed, suddenly his phone rang and he picked it up. "Boss, it''s me" The person on the other side said. Julian recognized this person, he is none other than the previous underworld elitemander that Julian saved in a way. Julian "Yes, what is it?" "This guys named Zinzolin sent us some files filled with information about Ghetsis" Julian "Oh, send it to the league in Unova" "Will do boss" Julian "And how is Sasha doing?" Julian asked as she just joined the organization, she is still not the one making decisions and is working directly under the person Julian is talking to right now. "She is very good, boss, she will be a great candidate for a leader, she also seems to be very loyal towards you, a perfect trait for amander" He said. Julian "Good, make sure she learns everything" "Don''t worry boss, will do" Julian ended the call and put his phone away. Julian [Gengar deliver that bastard to the league, make sure he is in good condition] Hearing Julian Gengar left his shadow and went on his own little adventure as a postal service pokemon to deliver the package called Ghetsis. Chapter 888 - Postmon Gengar got out of Julian''s shadow and headed out of the hotel room, once he got out he looked around while standing in front of the hotel Julian is staying at, a pokemon standing in front of a hotel is not a big deal but Gengar still made sure that nothing to could notice him. Staying in shadows most of the time made him like staying in them, even when he is out of the shadow he makes sure that this aura doesn''t leak out and grab unwanted attention. ?? Gengar ''Master told me to deliver this person to the league, I totally forgot to ask him where it is'' Gengar thought as he scratched his forehead. Gengar ''No need to worry, I will find a way to there'' Gengar thought and headed in a random direction while humming on his own, Gengar started to stray off and started to look around the city, Gengar likes to explore when Julian is not around because it is the only time Gengar can do what he is really passionate about. Being a con, he likes to con pokemon of their berries and precious stuff and runs away with it, no matter how much training he has gone through, Gengar''s habit of conning others will never change. He has already conned so many of Julian''s pokemon, and every new pokemon that joins the team gets conned, one he conned Julian''s Riolu which made her cry, she then went andined to Julian and Gengar got in trouble. From that day Gengar toned down his conning ways but now that he is free in the wild, he can con any pokemon he wants right now with not getting in trouble. Gengar looked around and saw many pokemons along with their trainers walking around the city clueless that they are being targeted right now, Gengar could off course just go and steal things from other pokemons but there is no fun in that. Gengar then found his way into a mall and soon came across a y area that was built for pokemons, people could leave their pokemons here and let them y while they can go around and do some shopping. He made his way into the y area without getting noticed by the guards near the entrance of the y area, the security here seems to be very high because pokemon safety is considered a very high priority so people spend a lot on security when ites to pokemon. But to someone like Gengar, no amount of security can stop him, with his ability to open a dimension gate where ever he wants, nothing can stop him from infiltrating ces even with the highest security, and he also can phase through solid objects with no effort because he is a ghost. Gengar got inside and looked around, he saw a lot of pokemon ying around, some pokemons were tiny babies that were having fun on their own and Gengar has no intention to bother the little pokemons group. He has too many nightmares when ites to dealing with little pokemons, they are the only things that scare him. Gengar looked around and finally found a group of pokemon that he could con, he approached them with a nice smile on his face, he made sure to look as innocent as possible but with the big grin he has on his face, Gengar looking innocent is the most impossible thing in this world. The group of pokemon in front of him consisted of some old pokemons, the pokemons were Sawk, Throh, Whimsicott, Maractus, Ciino. The pokemons noticed Gengar and got scared for a second a Gengar was quite big in size, they looked at his grin and backed off a little as they felt a little ufortable. Gengar "Gegege, don''t run away, I just wanna make friends" Gengar said and approached them. Since these pokemons have nowhere to run they stood their ground and looked at Gengar. Sawk "Who are you?" The Sawk asked. Gengar "Gegege, I am a postmon, I deliver post around the world" He said and took out a te that had Gengar written on it. The pokemons looked at Gengar''s ce confused, they didn''t understand what Gengar was showing but Gengar being such a good con artist, with the amount of confidence he said that he was a postmon (simr to a postman, postmon "mon" stands for monster) the pokemons believed him. Whimsicott "A Postmon? what is that?" Gengar "Just as I said, I deliver messages and things for pokemons all around the world, if you have anything you want to send to someone special, you can give it to me and I will deliver it for you" Gengar said with a smile. Ciino "What is the use of this?" Ciino asked Gengar "You know, if you want to send a message to your parents who live in the wild, or send a message to a human who took care of you in the past I can deliver it to them, if you guys want, I can do it for you just for a ~small feeeee~" Gengar said with a smile. Chapter 889 - Fatal Mistake The pokemons didn''t know what to say after Gengar''s pitch. Gengar "Come on, you guys should have someone who you want to send something" ?? Gengar said while looking at the group in front of him, the idea of being a delivery con artist came to him because he was doing it for Julian, not delivering a letter or an object but a person. But he thought that he could use this method to con some pokemons. Ciino "Actually I have something I have which could be delivered" The Ciino said. Hearing Ciino, Gengar smiled, he knew this would work because most pokemons do want to meet their pack members even if they follow a trainer, the feeling to meet their family or previous caretaker might not be big but they still remember them. Even Gengar remembers his old friends back in Kanto before he was taken away by Julian. Whenever Julian goes back to Kanto, Gengar goes and pays them a visit. He knew that some of these pokemons might feel the same, this might be an asshole move in the view of humans but to a pokemon, it means nothing, they might be intelligent but they are not as intelligent as humans. Their emotions are not asplex as humans either, if someone is good to them, they feel good, if someone does bad to them, they do bad, they don''t look into the ulterior motives of people or pokemon. To Gengar, he is doing nothing but profiting from other pokemons. Gengar "Sure, I will deliver anything, no matter how big it is" He said. Ciino nodded and took out a shiny stone and passed it to Gengar. Ciino "I want you to pass this to my little sister, it has been a year since I saw her. My trainer captured me, and I even evolved, but I still miss my little sister, I hope that this Shiny Stone will help her be stronger." Ciino said and passed the shiny stone to Gengar. Ciino "I found this shiny stone and held on to it, wondering if I ever got the chance to meet her again, I don''t know if it''s possible to meet her, but if you can deliver this to her and pass my message, I will be very grateful" The Ciino said emotionally. Gengar looked at Ciino and felt bad. Gengar ''Shit, this is too emotional, I cannot con her'' He thought to himself. Gengar "What about you guys?" He looked and asked others but he got a no from them, they had nothing to share. Ciino "I have a lot of berries, I can exchange it for it" She said and took out a lot of berries from its fur and handed it over to Gengar. Gengar ''Shit, I made an error in my calction'' He thought and took the berries and the shiny stone from Ciino. Gengar "Fine where can I find your sister?" He asked. Ciino soon told him thest time she saw her sister, Gengar then realized that he had to put on his detective sses to track down this Ciino''s sister, it''s been a year. Gengar really fucked up, he didn''t use his brain and got blinded by greed and now he has been put in a very emotional situation which he cannot get out of, he already took the shiny stone and berries, luckily for him, the number of berries that he got was a lot. Ciinos can store a lot of things inside their fur, Gengar got lucky but he will have to work for it, he will have to find Ciino''s sister who could still be just a Miino or might have evolved. Gengar familiarized himself with Ciino''s aura and left with a disappointed face, he could have just followed Julian''s order and bring Ghetsis to the league but no, he had to be a little greedy and try to con someone. Gengar might be naughty but he has a soft spot as well, Ciino''s story really touched him. He left the mall and decided to first deliver Ghetsis to the league before he goes off to find the Ciino''s sister. He didn''t waste any time and left Roshan city and headed straight towards Humu city, this city is very close to Roshan city so it really didn''t take Gengar too long. When he arrived in front of the league headquarters gate, he saw a few guards guarding the gate with pokemons and guns, he didn''t mind them and just opened his portal. The guards and pokemons who were guarding the entrance suddenly noticed a portal opening in front of them and were scared, the pokemons growled and took a stance, ready to attack if anything hostilees out from the portal. One of the guards informed the security inside while others pointed their guns at the portal. Gengar didn''t mind their response and just tossed Ghetsis out of the portal and into the ground, the guards were surprised by this, they saw an old tied-up man being thrown out of the portal. One of the guards slowly approached the tied-up old man with his pokemon and checked on the old man, he turned the old man on his back and realized that it was none other than Ghetsis. Ghetsis was pretty famous by now, as soon as the league got the information about his deeds, a region-wide arrest warrant was issued for Ghetsis and if he resisted arrest, authorities were asked to eliminate him on spot. By now every league agent and worker knew who Ghetsis was, the league worked very fast, even Ghetsis''s photo and name had been stered all across the new channels in regions that are governed by the league. The guard quickly informed the other that it was Ghetsis which caused a hugemotion. Chapter 890 - The Little Heracrosses As soon as the agents inside the league were informed about Ghetsis being outside the league, all of them rushed out with guns and pokemons behind them. They noticed that Ghetsis was already tied up and unconscious, the agents surrounded him pointing their guns at him, two agents got behind his back and picked him up, and looked around the surroundings to see if anyone else is present in the vicinity. ?? "What happened here?" One of the agents asked the guard that was guarding at the front gate. "I don''t know, suddenly a ck hole like thing appeared out of nowhere and suddenly Ghetsis was thrown out of it" The guard said. "I see" The agent said confused, he didn''t know what happened and he doesn''t want to know, they have Ghetsis, and its enough, he doesn''t want to be bothered with interdimensional portals and stuff. ____________________ Gengar who was watching from the side giggled and made his way out of there, now he has other things to do, find the Miino or Ciino or whatever it is and give it the shiny stone. He learned that the one he is looking for is in Lostlorn forest, it is halfway through the whole region but Gengar has nothing to worry about, he can travel faster than any of Julian pokemon, but he never told Julian about this because he doesn''t want Julian inside his dimension. If Julian sees what Gengar keeps inside his dimension he might get in more trouble. He looked in one direction and opened and portal and went inside, he used the dimensional and traveled through space very fast, inside his dimension he can travel from one ce to another ten times faster than onnd. Just within a few minutes, he was in the Lostlorn forest. Gengar got out of the dimension and looked around, as soon as he walked out of the portal, he noticed a lot of pokemons run away from him because of his sudden appearance. Gengar "Gegege, I scared them" Gengar said and continued down the forest, he did take a signature scent from Ciino in order to trace the other sister but right now he cannot find anything, the scent doesn''t stay in a ce for quite a long time and he needs to find a trace of this scent before he can track this pokemon he is looking for. He made his way towards the center of the forest because it''s the best ce to start because he can always find someone who can inform him about things he wants to know. The pokemon that knows most about the forest is the king of the forest and this king of the forest can be very helpful for Gengar''s little mission. Gengar found himself in the middle of the jungle and looked around but he was surprised to see not many pokemon here. Gengar ''Hm, I wonder where all the pokemons are?'' He questioned and looked around the center of the jungle before finally finding a group of young Heracross ying around tossing massive rock around using their horns. Gengar was not much surprised by the strength these Heracross disyed, they are known for their ridiculous strength, even though they are not big they are known to lift more than a ton and throw them around with no effort. The Heracrosses was quite young, but they were very big for their age as well, but it is to be expected because they live in the densest and the most resourceful part of the forest. One Heracross suddenly tossed the rock a little further andnded right in front of Gengar, the Heracrosses noticed Gengar and were suddenly frightened. They used their powerful legs and jumped back to make some distance between them and this new unknown pokemon. Gengar "Gegege, don''t worry, I am not someone you should be afraid of" He said andughed creepily. "Dad said not to talk with creepy strange pokemons" One of the Heracross said while looking at the creepy Gengar. Gengar "Gegegege, don''t worry, I am no stranger, I just want to meet the king of this jungle" He said with his creepy smile. "What do you want without day, do you work for the Pinsirs, if you are, we are going to beat you up" The other little Heracross said while swinging its horn. Gengar "Oh my, don''t be so aggressive, I just want to meet the king who also seems to be your father" He said. "You can''t meet him, he is resting after the fight" Gengar "Oh, there is a fight going on?" He asked. "Yes, the Pinsirs are challenging dad for the position of the king but they are never gonna win, dad is too strong" The other Heracross said. Gengar "Gegege, good for you, believing in your dad, can you inform him about me and that I want to meet him, I can even help him with this Pinsir problem" He said. "Are you telling the truth?" One of the Heracross asked as it was a little worried about its dad, thatst fight was pretty bad, even though its dad won, it was still badly injured from it. Chapter 891 - Awkward Moments Gengar "Of course, why would I lie, I am the most honest pokemon in this world" Gengar said while rubbing his two palms together. ?? He promised to help the Heracrosses father if he gets to meet it but of course, you cannot trust Gengar, he only does something if it works out for him or he is forced into a very awkward situation. "Promise?" Gengar "Promise! I will make sure I take care of it" He said with a very shady voice, but of course, the little Heracrosses couldn''t see how shady Gengar really was. "Thank you very much, I will go and inform dad" One of the Heracross said and left Gengar along with the others to find their dad, Gengar followed right behind them until he followed them to a Heracross nest that was close by, the nest seems to be very close to the center and the ce is filled with lots of resources. Gengar noticed a lot of Heracross walking around, most of them stayed in groups, some of them were sucking down the trees out of their tree saps. This whole area was filled with only Heracross and they had the whole area to themselves, no wonder the Pinsirs were after this ce. This is quitemon, fight over the territory was quitemon in these massive jungles, Gengar''s presence was clearly noticed by all the Heracross in the area and they didn''t like it, a stranger in their territory could be a bad sign. The reason they didn''t attack was that the Gengar is with the king''s children, the little Heracross entered their own tree nest to meet their dad. The tree they entered was quite big, it could fit ten Heracrosses inside it, Gengar waited outside for the little Heracrosses toe back and inform him. He just stood their awkwardly as he was being stared at by every Heracross in the area, he just looked at them and smiled which caused them to back of a little as they didn''t want to bother with this creepy looking stranger. Gengar also didn''t like being stared at by the bugs but he decided to do what he is doing, which is to currently be nted on his current spot. Luckily for Gengar, he didn''t have to wait for too long as the little Heracrosses came out happily. Gengar "So kids, did you tell your dad about me?" Gengar asked. "Oh.....Wepletely forgot! We were busy slurping sweet syrup" One of the little Heracross said. "Wait here, we will be back" It said and went back into its nest leaving Gengar pissed but he didn''t show it on his face, he just looked at the other Heracross and smiled at them while giving them the nod but he didn''t get a good reaction from them. Gengar just stood there in an awkward manner and waited for the kids toe back, this time they didn''t forget to mention him to their dad and came back running. "He said he can meet you" One of the little Heracross said happily while licking its fingers. Gengar ''These little shitheads, they would have forgotten about me if they stayed inside even a little longer'' He thought to himself. Gengar "Let''s go in". ''Before these shitheads get distracted again'' He thought after saying it. The little Heracrosses brought him into their nest to meet their dad. As Gengar got in he saw two Heracrosses sitting inside, one is a very big male while the other is a big female but still smaller than the male. Heracross "What do you want?" The dad asked. Gengar looked at the Heracross and noticed that this one has been seriously injured, if not taken care of, it might die in a few months, Gengar then looked at the little Heracrosses and felt like shit. Gengar ''Fucking shit, why the fuck do I have to get emotionally involved with everything thing even though I don''t want to'' He thought to himself. Gengar "I am searching for a Miinos or Ciinos, do you know where to find them?" He asked. Heracross "You actually dare toe to my territory just to ask me this, you could have just asked some random pokemon in the forest" The Heracross seems to be a little pissed, well he cannot be med, he is in very bad shape and he might lose his territory, his kids'' life might be in danger after his death, he knows that he is close to his death. Thatst battle with its rival, the Pinsir leader who was defeated but it was able tond very serious injury on Heracross. Gengar "Ah.....Now that I think about it, I could have done that but I am so used to dealing with strong pokemons that I didn''t even mind looking for the weak, well you are not that special either" Gengar said as he looked at the injured Heracross, in Gengar''s eyes, he was mediocre at best, he understands that every pokemon Julianes across bes freaks but he lives with these freaks and among them, he is one of the best. "What are you saying? My dad is the strongest" One of the little Heracross said while looking angrily at Gengar. Gengar "Gegege, I am just joking" He said while remembering his past about making baby pokemons cry, it still gives him chills and he doesn''t want to experience it. Chapter 892 - Helping Heracross Gengar didn''t want to upset the little bastards, he already knows how annoying they get when they start to cry or are pissed at something. "You better be" ?? The little Heracross said. Heracross "All three of you, get out" The father Heracross said and chased the little bugs out of the nest leaving Heracross, its mate, and Gengar alone. Gengar "Gegege, cute little fellows, but well it really doesn''t matter, you can help me track down the Miinos and Ciinos and I might help you deal with the Pinsir problem and also help with that serious injury of yours" Gengar said. Heracross "How did you know?" The Heracross asked, all of his injuries are internal, nobody should find out without him telling them. Gengar "Gegege, others can''t see but I can, I can even tell when you will stop breathing in 3 days, 11 hours, 24 minutes, a minute over or under, can''t promise that" Gengar said with a giggle, being someone who can travel through dimensions, he has a knack for time. He can easily tell how long a thing willst. When they were created. When they will get destroyed because every element in this world has a timer, of course, these things can be destroyed before their times run out by an external force, just like what is happening with this Heracross, it could have lived much longer but due to its internal damage, Gengar can predict the exact time of Heracross''s death because of the constant change that is happening to Heracross. Being involved with space/time is slowly changing Gengar in a different way as well. Heracross "Why are you willing to do so much for just finding a bunch of Miinos or Ciinos?" Gengar "Too be honest, I am just toozy to go around looking for a bunch of pokemons when others can do it for me, and if you are able to find be the right one, in exchange I will heal you up and make you stronger to face off against the Pinsirs" Gengar said. Heracross "Fine, but how do you intend to save this dying body of mine?" Gengar "Gegege, here take this" Gengar said and opened a small portal in the air and pulled out a handful of shining ashes, if Julian was here he would be surprised as it''s Sacred Ash, he would definitely wonder where Gengar got this from. But it is for only Gengar to know and no one''s business (A/N, in fact, he sneaked some when Julian collected it) Heracross "What is that?" Gengar "Gegege, Ho-Oh''s sacred ash, it can heal any kind of mortal wound in this world in an instant" Heracross "Where did you get this and why are you willing to use such a precious item on me?" Gengar "Well, the precious the item, the more in debt you will be too me, so maybe in the future if I need something more you will have to oblige and help me" Gengar said. Heracross "Fine" Heracross said and signaled its mate to get the Ho-Oh''s ash but before it could pick it up, it was stopped by Gengar. Gengar "But I will like to make one thing very clear. If you think you can just use this and just get away with it, you arepletely wrong, gegegegegege" Gengarughed and released his aura just inside the nest so that the ones outside couldn''t sense it, as soon as the Heracross and his mate sensed it, it shook them to the core. Gengar "Gegege, you get it, right?" Heracross nodded and took the ashes, as soon as he ate the ashes he felt his body healing itself, the internal injuries started to heal themselves. Heracross felt good and within five minutes all its injures were healed. When Heracross opened his eyes he realized that he felt stronger than before, the ashes helped him level up as well. Gengar "Gegege, looks like you leveled up, you healed up and you are stronger, I did my part of the agreement and now it''s your time" Gengar said. Heracross knew that he cannot go back on his promise, this Gengar was too scary but he already made the deal. Heracross "Fine, I know where the Ciinos and Miinos are, I will send someone to bring them here, you can wait here" Gengar "Great, I will look around, gegegege" Now that Gengar was here how could he miss the great chance to do business, all the Heracrosses here are wild so they can easily be scammed. He got out of the nest with a big proud smile, he saved the little Heracrosses father and he didn''t even have to tell them about it, he didn''t see them suffer or didn''t have them clinging onto him like bugs from happiness. He now has to figure out how to scam all the Heracrosses from all their precious belongings. Chapter 893 - Business An hour passed and Gengar is seen sitting behind a desk as a line of Heracrosses standing in a queue exchanging their precious stuff with Gengar in exchange for cheap sugar syrup that Gengar picked from someone''s house. Gengar ''Gegege, I didn''t think this syrup would be so useful, I just took it for some white bread but now I can use it to scam pokemons, gegegege" ?? Gengar thought as he poured some syrup in the hands of the Heracross in front of him in exchange for some berries and precious stones. Gengar ''Greatest business idea ever'' Gengar said while continuing to collect his new collections. But his sessful business had toe to an end because one of the Heracross that was sent to bring in the Ciino came back with all the Ciinos along with it. Gengar noticed them and sighed. Gengar "Oh, shop closed, nice doing business with you all" Gengar said and got up from his chair and put away his desk and chair and approached the massive army of Ciinos. Gengar "Thank you Heracross, but you can leave now" He said and sent the Heracross away and looked at the Ciino army. Gengar "Now let''s see" He said and looked at the army trying to find the aura simr to the Ciino he met at the mall but he was disappointed because he couldn''t find it at all. Gengar ''Looks like I have to wait for the other group'' As soon as he thought that, another Heracross came with an army of Miinos right behind it. Gengar looked at the group and smiled. Gengar ''Finally'' He thought as he found the aura he was looking for, he waited for Heracross to get close before sending it away. Gengar "You can go now, Heracross" He sends the Heracross away and pointed at the Miino he was already locked on. Gengar "You,e here" He called. The Miino looked at him confused and tilted its little head. Gengar "Come here, I have something to give you" He said as he watched the little Miino make its way through the group, once it got close to him, he took out the Shiny Stone and ced it in front of the Miino and then touched its head and passed his memory of the Ciino to it. Once he was done, the Miino got very happy and immediately touched the Shiny stone and it started to glow, once the light faded away, a Ciino stood in its spot, it happy then made its way towards it new group, the group that belongs to the Ciinos. Gengar "Looks like my work here is done" He thought and turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and thought of something, he turned back and looked at the massive number of Miinos and Ciinos who look very confused right now. Gengar ''I cannot pass such a golden opportunity'' He thought to himself and got back to business. An hour passed and he earned more fortune in these two hours than he has ever in his whole life, he was having a great time when he suddenly heard an explosion and he was not the only one who had it, the ground shook causing all the Miinos and Ciinos to run away from fear. The Heracrosses who were also part of the queue went into hiding while some of them took a stance for the uing battle, Gengar who stunned by the sudden change in scenery. Gengar ''Who the fuck ruined my business?'' He questioned as he looked at the massive boulder that was hurled into the area. Gengar looked with cold eyes, as a bunch of Pinsirs made their way into the Heracrosses territory, a massive Pinsir was in the front of the group, clearly the leader of the group. Pinsir "Heracross get out, today I take your ce as the king of this forest" The Pinsir dered war against the Heracross. The leader Heracross who was inside his nest walked out swinging his massive horn. Heracross "No way you are going to win, I will put an end to this once and for all" The Heracross roared and rubbed its foot on the ground ready to battle but before he could move, he felt a chill down his spine, he was not the only one who felt it, everyone around the area felt it, the chilling fear that traveled through the area effecting every pokemon one after the other. But the most terrified one of them all was the leader Pinsir because all this was targeted towards it and not the others, the fear they were feeling were just the remaining fear lingering in the area. Gengar "Gegegege, you actually ruined my business, you are going to pay for this, gegegegege" Gengar''sugh traveled through the area putting everyone in fear. Chapter 894 - Businessmon Gengar''s aura was shaking the Pinsir leader to its core, it tried to take a step back but it couldn''t it was frozen from fear. Gengar "Gegege, you ruined my business and now you will pay for it, gegegege" ?? Gengar''sugh echoed all over the area as ever pokemon heard it, they didn''t expect this creepy but friendly Gengar to be so scary, the Pinsirs have no idea what is happening but they know one thing and that is, they are getting fucked. Gengar "Heracross, move aside, I will deal with this bug myself" Gengar said and pushed Heracross aside as if he didn''t way anything, Heracross struggled to keep his bnce as he got pushed to the side but he couldn''t do anything except try his best to keep his bnce. After cing both his foot on the ground, Heracross looked at Gengar in surprise, and then at the Pinsir leader, he realized that the Pinsir is going to get destroyed. Gengar "Hey little bug,e here, let be beat the shit out of you" Gengar said while pointing at the Pinsir across him, the Pinsir didn''t know what to do in this situation but it cannot back down. If it backs down it will be considered as a weak leader and it can be disastrous for its future as a leader. Gengar "Come on, are you a pussy, look your whole gang is watching you, you cannot just back of now" He said and taunted the Pinsir to charge at him. The Pinsir is in a dilemma but it knows that it cannot back of now, its whole gang is watching, without thinking much it let out a war cry snapping its horns and exposing its mandibles, it charged at Gengar using Mega Horn. Gengar smiled at the futile attempt, he extended his arms and weed Pinsir with open arms, as soon as Pinsir got closer with its massive glowing horns, Gengar grabbed them and stopped Pinsir right on its spot. The energy around Pinsir''s horn shattered in an instant and disappeared into thin air, Pinsir is shocked, it looked at Gengar with wide eyes, it tried to push back and use its immense strength but it was no use, Gengar didn''t budge an inch. Gengar "Gegege, and here I thought you will be somewhat strong, you are just mediocre" Gengar said and lifted Pinsir by its horn and hung its whole body horizontal to the ground, Pinsir screamed and tried to free itself but it couldn''t, it shook its arms and legs to no avail. Gengar "Gegege, let''s end this" He said and mmed the Pinsir face-first on the ground, the m shook the whole area and caused a small tremor to travel across the area, Gengar let go of the horn and looked at the Pinsir which was nted on the ground. Gengar "Gegege, did I hit too hard?" Heughed and asked. Every pokemon in the area was shocked by this, they didn''t expect the biggest rival of the current king to get destroyed so easily, it didn''t evenst a few seconds in that battle, they looked at Gengar as if he was somethingpletely different, they didn''t view him as a pokemon. The Heracross children who brought Gengar here are as shocked as every other pokemon, they didn''t expect that the weird creepy pokemon they brought here was so strong. Gengar then looked at the Pinsir gang who looked at him with fear and smiled. Gengar "Let me introduce myself, I am a businessmon who was a postmon a few hours ago but that doesn''t matter now, now I am a businessmon and I do business, so let''s do some business, gegegegege" He said while looking at the Pinsir gang, with so many potential customers, how could he just miss the chance to earn more (scam more). ________________________ Gengar spends a whole night in the forest doing "business" and leaves after gaining a lot, he used his dimension and traveled through space, and appeared right in front of the hotel Julian is staying at. He returned back to Julian''s room and saw Julian looking at the TV. Julian [Where were you?] Julian asked. He got the news of Ghetsis being delivered to the league hours ago and with Gengar''s speed he should have been back before evening but it''s 12 am right now. Gengar [Gegege, I got distracted] Gengar said andughed. Julian "*sighs* anyways, you can go back" Gengar went back into Julian''s shadow leaving Julian all alone in the room. Julian went back on the couch and turned on to TV, he just finished watching one of Chloe''s movies, he changed the channel and switched on the news to find if the league has informed the public about Team sma and Ghetsis. As he has expected, the league worked fast, it is all over the news, he watched as the TV anchor told the news about Ghetsis being captured by the league agents, the anchor then informed that the league is working on bringing down every remaining member of Team sma. Along with this, the public was also informed about every illegal thing that Ghetsis is a part of and was working on, this caused public outrage, people started to destroy every product that was made by Ghetsis''spany. The stocks of Ghetsis''spany crumbled in a single day, there is no escape for Ghetsis''spany as it will go bankrupt. Julian ''I would never want to be in the receiving end of the public outrage'' He thought and chewed down on his chips. Chapter 895 - Further Training Things are looking great for Julian, he has all his eight badges, his team is full, he caught a first-rate legendary pokemon, now the only thing waiting for him is to participate in the league and be a league champion again. Now, the only thing left of Julian is to train a little more and evolve his final remaining pokemons, Larvesta and Zweilous, both of them are very close to evolving and they are just a battle away from evolving. ?? Julian looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it''s already 1 AM, he went to sleep to wake up early the next morning. ___________________ Julian woke up and looked around, he stretched his body and got off it, walked into the shower, and cleaned himself up before walking out and putting on a new pair of clothes. Julian ''It''s time to train'' He thought and walked out of his room and made his way towards the nearest forest, after reaching the forest, he had to walk around to find arge patch of opennd to train his pokemons, he then called out all his pokemons including Kyurem. Kyurem was a new addition to the team but it didn''t like being about all these pokemons, it also noticed Gengar, it realized that the aura in itsyer that day was one of Julian''s pokemon, Kyurem thought that Garchomp was strong but then it realized how scary Gengar really is. It couldn''t believe a pokemon that is not even legendary is stronger than any legendary pokemon in this world. But Kyurem also noticed the other two in the group that seemed even more dangerous than Gengar, the sleeping Snox, and Infernape, these two didn''t release any aura but Kyurem could tell that they were the strongest here. Infernape being the most intimidating, it also noticed the same aura around Infernape as it did around Julian, another surprise to Kyurem was Victini. It had seen a powerful Victini in the past and knew how powerful it was, it was the reason behind its two other counterparts stopping their battle and this Victini is as strong as that one, maybe slightly weaker but not by a huge margin. Kyurem realized that its new master might be able to give it something that it is searching for. Julian let his other pokemons train on their own, he asked Larvesta and Zweilous to practice as they will be battling each other very soon, he then focused on training Kyurem. Julian knows he has to start from the start and teaching old pokemon new ways to control its energy, but Julian took this challenge, and he is not going to back off. It was very hard for Julian to make Kyurem understand how to start controlling his energy, it took him hours before Kyurem finally got the hang of it, Gengar''s assistance was also needed, but it worked anyway. Julian was done training Kyurem for the day, now his attention is on Larvesta and Zweilous, they have practiced enough, now its time for them to battle, Julian expects them to evolve, either one or both of them. Julian "Now, both of you take your positions" He said and waited for both of them to take their positions. He then walked towards the middle to referee the match, this is a real battle, and he won''t be helping them, they will have to put everything into this battle if they want to win against the other. ______________________ Somewhere else in Unova, inside a weird-looking forest, three people were sitting under a tree surrounded by pokemons, these three are none other than N and his two sisters. N "I like this, spending time with you guys and these pokemon" He said while petting a pokemon in front of him. Anthea "It is indeed great, I like us spending our time like this" The girl with pink hair said with a smile on her face, he looked at N with parental love in her eyes. Concordia "Yes, N, think about it again, this can never return to you once you decide to do it" The blonde-haired girl said. N "I know, I will miss this but don''t worry, I will return, but I need to do what father started. Capture one of the legendary pokemons and defeat the person who took him down" Anthea "N, Ghetsis was not a good person, he manipted all of us, humans cannot be trusted, and even if you capture one of the legendary pokemons, it might get captured by those humans and be experiment subjects" She said. N "No, I have to do this, to liberate pokemons from their trainers, this is the path I have to follow, I have to stick to my ideals" He said. Concordia "Ok, but you are not doing this alone, we will help you" Anthea "Yes, we will help you, we will not let you get separated from us ever again" She said. N "Thank you, I love you guys" He said and hugged them, once he was done he started to n on how to capture one of the two legendary pokemons. Chapter 896 - Larvesta Vs Zweilous Julian waited for both his pokemons, Larvesta and Zweilous to take their position. Julian "Now listen to me, I will not be doing anything but just stand here and watch, this is not a mock battle, this is a real one, the battle will not end until one of you down, everything is legal, do whatever you have to do to win" ?? Julian said while looking at both of them. Both Larvesta and Zweilous stood far away from each other, while Larvesta could see Zweilous, Zweilous cannot see anything, it''s all his hearing and smell that gives him a 3d view of the area he is standing on, his two heads still fight but when ites to battle they know that they have to work together. Once both were done taking their ces Julian didn''t waste any more time. Julian "You may begin" He told them to start the battle and both of them didn''t wait as well. As soon as Julian gave the call Zweilous started the battle first, no one would expect a blind pokemon to start the battle but eyesight was never Zweilous''s to use, he could pinpoint any of his opponents with their smell. The only way they can lose Zweilous is by putting themselves in a ce where their scent can bepletely blended into the surrounding. With Larvesta''s continuous burning wings, he has a particr scent around him, the smell of something burning is always around him, and it is effortless for Zweilous to grab on and pinpoint this smell. Zweilous sted two Dragon Pulse at the same time with its two heads, two powerful Dragon Pulse twirled around each other and rushed towards Larvesta. Seeing the iing attack, Larvesta used his tiny but swift legs to move out of the way and charged at Zweilous using me Charge, the Dragon Pulse hit the ground and created a crater behind but it didn''t affect Larvesta''s speed, he just charged right towards Zweilous. mes zed out of his wings and as he got closer tond the hit, Zweilous suddenly used Bite to counter it, two jaws of dark energy appeared in thin air and shut down on Larvesta. The collision caused an explosion and both of them were pushed back, Larvesta was sent flying as he weighed a lot lesspared to Zweilous but it didn''t matter, Larvestanded on the ground and quickly got back on his legs and charged at Zweilous again. But this time Larvesta moved in using methrower and went right behind it using me Charge, Zweilous used another Dragon Pulse as he felt a hot burning beam getting closer to him to counter it, the Dragon Pulse and the methrower collided causing another explosion but it was not over. Zweilous sensed another ming objecting towards him, he didn''t sense it before because the methrower was sessful in hiding Larvesta''s presence. And now it was toote to dodge, Larvesta crashed into Zweilous with full force and sent him rolling on the ground, Zweilous growled and got back to his feet and sted another Dragon Pulse, he got hit and was sent back but due to his weight, he was not that far from Larvesta. The Dragon Pulse was very fast and didn''t allow Larvesta enough time to counter and got hit by the Dragon Pulse and was sent flying through the air and crashed into the ground with a big thud. Zweilous being resistant to fire-type attacks did him a great as he wasn''t much hurt by that me Charge but Larvesta on the other hand got hit by a heavy blow. Larvesta rolled and got back to his feet and stared at Zweilous with zing eyes and the fire around his wings started to burn even brighter and hotter, it tip of the me even turned a little whitish indicating it was burning over 1300 degree Celsius. He charged at Zweilous again with another me Charge but this time he was even faster than before, those me Charges are building up his speed rapidly. Zweilous used his hearing and smell to predict Larvesta''s movement and used Dark Pulse, Larvesta saw the Dark Pulseing from a mile away and moved to the side to dodge it but this of course slowed him down. What he didn''t expect was another Dark Pulse followed right behind the first one and hit the ground right in front of Larvesta. Zweilous miscalcted, he expected Larvesta to carry the same speed while dodging but Larvesta slowed down, if he had not, the second Dark Pulse would have hit. Larvesta moved to the side again and charged at Zweilous as his speed increased and hended another big hit on Zweilous, Zweilous tried to do the same again once he was sent back rolling. He got back to his feet and sted another Dragon Pulse but Larvesta was way ahead of him this time, he already set up a Protect and blocked the Dragon Pulse. As the Protect shattered, Larvesta used his speed and got right behind Zweilous andtched onto his tail, and used Leech Life, Larvesta started to suck the energy out of Zweilous body and heal himself but Zweilous didn''t allow this to continue. Zweilous turned both his head towards his tail where Larvesta was attached and used Hyper Voice, the soundwaves sted Larvesta off his tail and caused physical pain in Larvesta''s ears. But this was enough for Larvesta, he gained some health and managed to suck some energy out of Zweilous. Larvesta didn''t stay in his position for long and charged at Zweilous again using me Charge, his speed increased even more and was not just a blur to other pokemons but Zweilous could still pinpoint his location. This was his advantage, no matter how fast an opponent gets, unless the opponent can travel faster than sound there is no way Zweilous cannot pinpoint his opponents. Chapter 897 - Larvesta Vs Zweilous (2) Larvesta''s speed kept increasing but Zweilous has a firm lock on his every location, moving at such high speed will create a lot of sounds and it cannot go unnoticed by Zweilous. Larvesta moved in using me Wheel, this me Wheel is big and fast but Zweilous already sensed iting from the side, he turned his heads and sted another Hyper Voice at the iing me Wheel. ?? The power of the sound waves crashed into the me Wheel and stopped Larvesta right in his track and was pushed back, this didn''t stop Larvesta and he used another me Charge to bring his speed to the limit. His speed increased even more and it was moving very close to the speed of sound but still not breaking it, this was surprising to even Julian because he didn''t expect Larvesta to reach such speed but he was happy with it. Zweilous was still fine, it was getting hard to pinpoint Larvesta but he was still able to do it, sensing the attacking from behind, Zweilous turned his head and waited for Larvesta to get closer and as he got close, Zweilous used Crunch. A massive jaw made of dark energy shut down on Larvesta trying to crush him, but Larvesta dodged at the very end and the jaws chomped down on nothing but air, it still made a chilling sound. Larvesta on the other hand made quite a distance between him and Zweilous, he then challenged all his fire energy and used Fire st. Massive fire energy with five ends headed towards Zweilous, Zweilous sensed this and decided to counter with Dark Pulse, both his heads shot out Dark Pulse, they fused together and became an even bigger one. As the two moves collided, the Fire st clearly seems to have the upper hand as it continued to push back Zweilous''s Dark Pulse, Zweilous tried to push back but the Fire st was too powerful but he then suddenly sensed another object moving towards him at very high speed. It was none other than Larvesta, after using Fire st, Larvesta charged at Zweilous using re Blitz, Larvesta is pulling out all his big moves to take down Zweilous as he knows that things can go very bad if this battle continues for longer. Zweilous is much tougher, can take hits, and has too much endurance and stamina inside him, Zweilous was not is a tough position and decided to change his target, the bigger threat right now is Larvesta himself and not the Fire st. He stopped his Dark Pulse and aimed at Larvesta and used Dragon Pulse, Larvesta dodged to the side and changed direction pulling Zweilous''s attention away from the Fire st and Zweilous fell for it. As he turned his head to lock down on Larvesta, the Fire st got close and hit Zweilous creating a big explosion, luckily for him, the Fire st was already weakened by his Dark Pulse but it was not over as Larvesta charged in as he was still on the ground and hit him with a full power re Blitz. This is a massive hit, even if Zweilous is resistant to fire-type attacks this should still do a lot of damage. He got sent flying through the air and across the battlefield before he went crashing against a big tree and split the tree into two. Zweilous then fell on the ground, the damage was huge, and not many pokemons can recover from it, Julian''s other pokemons continued to cheer on as they know that the battle is still not over. Zweilous gritted his teeth in both of his head and tried to push himself to his limit and let out a powerful roar to get relief from all his pain. Suddenly his body started to glow and with a blinding light, his body started to grow bigger. Julian ''It looks like Zweilous will be the first one to evolve, well Larvesta did push him to his limit, and it''s his time to do the same to Larvesta'' He thought and watched the physical changes that were taking ce in Zweilous''s body. His tiny wings started to split, his hind legs started to change, two of his head started to merge together and the dominant headpletely took control over the body. His two front legs also started to change and they started to look like heads as well. And in a few seconds, Zweilous haspletely changed, he evolved into a Hydreigon. Hydreigon floated in the air as his six wings acted as levitating devices, he finally got eyes, he could see properly, he looked at his arms and realized that they looked like heads, his hands are heads and he can taste and smell from them. He then looked at his opponent who is quite tiny nowpared to a few seconds ago, he then looked to the side to look at Julian and his pokemons, he was finally able to see how Julian and his friends look like. Hydreigon is a little emotional but he is currently in the middle of a battle. Larvesta who thought that he dealt the finishing blow was a little disappointed by how the current circumstances have turned out, his opponent has be stronger and now he can see as well. Julian "Come on both of you, this is not a staring contest, fight" He told them as both of them were staying still. Chapter 898 - Larvesta Vs Hydreigon Now that Zweilous has evolved into Hydreigon, he clearly has the advantage now, he has everything to be a super pokemon, he has Super Smell, Super Hearing, ridiculous physical power, and now he can see as well. His only weakness, which was hisck of eyesight is nowpletely gone. ?? With Julian telling them to start the battle again, Hydreigon made the first move, with his newfound speed, he shot straight towards Larvesta using Bite. Three big jaws made of dark energy formed in front of Hydreigon, these jaws traveled along with Hydreigon and when they got closer to Larvesta they tried to m shut on Larvesta. But Larvesta was already on his top speed, he easily dodged them, the jaws mped down on nothing but thin air and exploded but Hydreigon has no time to waste, he locked down his sight on Larvesta and charged at him again and this time he charged with Headbutt. And just like before, his head and both his arms started to glow and cover with energy, his hands could act as heads so he can use three Headbutt at the same time, Larvesta saw Hydreigoning towards him and he started to move his legs faster. Soon this turned into a cat and mouse chase, as Hydreigon got closer to Larvesta, he swung his left hand at Larvesta while using one of his Headbutt. Larvesta saw the iing attack and moved to the side and dodged the first Headbutt but Hydreigon continued with another one as he swung his right arm at Larvesta, Larvesta moved to the side to dodge this as well but Hydreigon predicted this and lunged his head towards Larvesta a few milliseconds behind his right hand. As Larvesta dodged the second Headbutt, he couldn''t dodge the third one that came out of nowhere and he got sent flying through the air, Larvesta then hit the ground very hard and then continued to roll forward causing a trail of dust to raise up. Larvesta was badly hurt after than, but he got back on his feet and burned even brighter, he was not going to back off now, his opponent evolving won''t stop him. Hydreigon saw that Larvesta was down and sted a powerful Dragon Pulse from his three head, three Dragon Pulse shot and then twirled around each other to form an even bigger one, Larvesta saw the iing attack and knew he has to dodge, after evolving all of Hydreigon''s moves have scaled up in power. Larvesta used his speed and moved to the side and dodged it, the Dragon Pulsended on the ground andpletely destroyed it leaving behind another massive crater than before. Larvesta saw this and took a deep breath and then shot a powerful methrower at Hydreigon, seeing the iing methrower, Hydreigon shot a Dark Pulse from its left arm to counter it, the two moves collided and exploded releasing a powerful shockwave that swept through everything around the area. The trees were pushed so hard that they almost snapped, stones and rocks went rolling everywhere. Larvesta stood his ground and made sure that he doesn''t get blown off by the shockwave itself but he then noticed another Dark Pulse heading towards him, Hydreigon used another Dark Pulse with his right arm this time. Larvesta dodged it again but was greeted by another Dark Pulse as this time it was shot by Hydreigon''s main head. Larvesta was fast and dodged it again but Hydreigon doesn''t want to stop, with three heads, he can continuously spam Dark Pulse, Larvesta was now in a tough situation, these Dark Pulses were being shot like they were from a minigun. No matter how fast he is, Larvesta couldn''t dodge all of them and finally got hit by a Dark Pulse, he got sent flying and crashing on the ground but the Dark Pulse continued showering down. Larvesta is cornered right now, he was able to get back to his feet and push himself to the limit with his speed and kept dodging, he used Protect to block the Dark Pulse that he couldn''t dodge and sometimes counter with his own moves but it was getting harder for him to keep this going. He doesn''t have as much endurance and stamina as Hydreigon, and used such pressure he started to glow as he pushed himself beyond his limit. The glow blinded everything in the area including Hydreigon, since he is still not used to bright light, Hydreigon stopped his attack and turned his head away to protect his eyes from the bright light. Larvesta, on the other hand, started to change, his head separated from his thorax, his abdomen grew bigger and the folded small wings around his thorax finally bloomed and opened up wide. As the glow faded away, a Volcarona floated on the spot, his wings were glowing brightly as they released small ming particles into the air around him, his head looked sharper because of his new horns at the side of his head. Now all of Julian''s pokemons have evolved into their final form and this team of his is full of hard hitters. As Larvesta evolved into Volcarona, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed, now the battlefield was even again, Hydreigon lost his advantage, Volcarona is much faster now and his Special Attack should be of the roof by now, getting hit by one of his attacks will be devastating. Chapter 899 - Volcarona Vs Hydreigon Volcarona and Hydreigon started at each other and the battle started again, Hydreigon started with another barrage of Dark Pulse but Volcarona''s newfound swiftness and speed were enough to dodge every single one of them. Seeing that these attacks are not hitting Volcarona, Hydreigon realized that he has to get closer and he is not worried about it, he is still a stronger physical attackerpared to Volcarona and he has a much better defense as well. ?? The only things Volcarona is better than Hydreigon is Special Attacks, when ites to speed and special defense, Volcarona is just slightly better at them. Hydreigon has still not used his speed in this battle as he had no use for it but now it seems necessary. Hydreigon charged at Volcarona with extreme speed, seeing how fast Hydreigon was approaching, Volcarona red his wings and made some distance, and sted a powerful Bug Buzz. Since its a Bug-type attack, it will be super effective against Hydreigon if thisnds, seeing the iing attack, Hydreigon moved to the side and dodged those energy waves, and continued to make his way towards Volcarona. Volcarona sted another Bug Buzz at Hydreigon and this time he couldn''t dodge this as he got too close to Volcarona, Hydreigon has no intention to dodge and used Hyper Voice, his three mouths opened and sted sound waves that made contact with the Bug Buzz which caused both attacks to shatter and disappear into thin air. Hydreigon got close enough to Volcarona and swung his right arm while suing Brutal Swing, Volcarona dodged the attack by a hair inch and sted a close-range methrower which hit Hydreigon hard and sent him spinning through the air but Hydreigon stopped himself and sted three powerful Dragon Pulse at the same time. This time they didn''t fuse together and traveled parallel to each other, Volcarona couldn''t go left or right to dodge this attack, he could only go up or down, Volcarona decided to go up and dodged them. This gave enough time for Hydreigon to make his way towards Volcarona again, he then used Hyper Voice to cover arge scale of the area to pin down Volcarona. Seeing three massive sound wavesing towards it, Volcarona flew fast breaking the sound barrier and dodging them but Hydreigon didn''t stop there and used Draco Meteor next. Instead of the usual one energy ball, Hydreigon shot three energy balls into the sky, these three energy ball went up and exploded releasing numerous energy meteors raining down. And along with that he sent a barrage of Dragon Pulse at Volcarona again, thisbo is brutal and destructive and there is very little chance of getting out of this without getting hurt. Volcarona tried to dodge and counter each and every one of them but he then got hit by an energy meteor and then by a Dragon Pulse, after getting hit once, he got hit again and again by the energy meteor and the Dragon Pulse which put Volcarona in a very bad shape. Knowing his current state, Volcarona charged right towards Hydreigon with full speed, he used Hurricane to counter the rest of the energy meteors and put a stop to the destruction that they were causing. With his swiftness, he got right behind Hydreigon and tried to use Leech Life but Hydreigon turned his head and shot a Dragon Pulse which forced Volcarona to retreat. Volcarona stopped a few meters away and then sted a powerful Fire st at Hydreigon, this Fire st could destroy a part of a city. Sensing the danger from this attack, Hydreigon muscled up all his power into one powerful attack and sted his most powerful Dragon Pulse at it, the two moves collided and caused a catastrophic explosion followed by a thunderous sound. But the battle continued and Volcarona used this chance and used Bug Buzz andnded directly on Hydreigon''s head and sent him crashing into the ground. Hydreigon was hurt but he got back to his feet, roared, and sted a barrage of Dark Pulse at Volcarona. Volcarona dodged them but Hydreigon rushed towards him using Dragon Rush, a massive energy dragon covered Hydreigon and he traveled through the air, breaking through the sound barrier and took Volcarona by surprise. The massive energy dragon shut its jaw on Volcarona and sent him crashing into the ground after the explosion urred. Seeing his chance, Hydreigon once again used Dragon Rush to end this battle, he broke the sound barrier again and got very close to Volcarona but before he could hit, Volcarona released another powerful Fire st at point-nk range. The collision caused a massive explosion, followed by a thunderous sound and then a mighty shockwave that snapped the trees around them in half, the explosion burned that ground to crisp and left the ground shattered. As the smoke faded away both of Julian''s pokemon could be seen hovering in the air exhausted and beaten up, both of them have given their all in this battle and now they have no energy to spend. Suddenly his Volcarona flinched and crashed on the ground and fainted, his Hydreigon slowly descended down andid down t on the broke ground still breathing heavily but his eyes are still open. Hydreigon won the battle but this was a very close one, he won that exchange because he was resistant to fire and Volcarona didn''t have any other move powerful enough to counter Hydreigon''s, Dragon Rush. Julian "Hydreigon wins" Julian announced. Chapter 900 - Happiness Volcarona''s defeat was a surprise to many of Julian''s pokemon as he was doing so well in his Larvesta form but in his evolved form he did a lot worse than Hydreigon. Julian on the other hand expected this, even though Larvesta evolved, his winning chances against a Pseudo legendary pokemon who is a level higher than him are very low. ?? He was still impressed by Volcarona''s performance but Hydreigon still had the upper advantage of having a more powerful move and a typing advantage as well. He then looked around the area and saw the destruction that these two have caused, he knew this would happen and that is why he chose an empty area but they still manage to destroy many things are the area. The ground is charred and shattered, there are some craters, the trees nearby are either bent or snapped into two, this ce is no more suitable for battle at all. Julian then walked towards Volcarona who opened his eyes slowly while looking around, he saw Hydreigon still standing there breathing heavily, he then saw Julian approaching. Julian got on his knee and patted Volcarona''s head. Julian "You did good" He said and gave Volcarona some berries to eat, he also gave some to Hydreigon and sent them both back to their Pokeball, they needed some rest after that massive battle. He then joined his other pokemons and continued with their training, he still has more than a month before the league starts, he has taken care of Team sma and Ghetsis. So now he has nothing to do but train his pokemons and enjoy his time in Unova. He continued with training while mainly focusing on Kyurem, Julian wanted to introduce Kyurem to Omniforce but it''s too early now, he decided to expose Kyurem to Omniforce slowly using food. He also confirmed it with his system and was relieved to find out that Kyurem will be able to handle the Omniforce much better than his normal pokemons as it is legendary, it will be able to handle Omniforce and will adapt to it once it gets used to it. _______________________ Back in Kanto, inside the Team Rocket Headquarters, Giovanni is having a great time, he just got the news of Ghetsis being captured and all his money being seized. Giovanni didn''t expect Julian to take away Ghetsis''s money as well, Giovanni expected Julian to destroy the Team sma headquarters and hand him over to the league but turning Ghetsis into a person with no money was an added bonus. Well, even if Julian had not done that Giovanni was already working on it, topletely destroy Ghetsis''spany from inside, he had already nted a lot of his own people inside Ghetsis''spany so they can destroy it from inside but luckily for Giovanni, Julian did it himself. He was also surprised by how fast Julian was able to do this, he wondered what Julian did to destroy such a big corporation within a few days. Giovanni ''Just like I thought, that monster will destroy anything that gets in his path, looks like I got lucky to encounter him first than any other organization'' Giovanni thought. e knows how powerful Julian is growing day by day, not only does he have ridiculously powerful pokemons but his influence in the world is also growing at a very rapid rate, hispany has branched of and are now trying to take over multiple consumer fields, whether it is rted to food or technology. Julian''spany is making massive progress, with Jimi being the CEO of thispany, Giovanni knows that this is just the start, Jimi is a very intelligent businessman, he got to where he was with his own effort, but hecked influence and connection, but now he has also gained a lot of influence being involved with Professor Oak and Julian himself. People love champions and anyone rted to them will also get a lot of attention, the same thing happened to Jimi and everyone that is rted to Julian. Giovanni knows not to mess with Julian but this also puts him in a dilemma, if Julian bes more powerful Giovanni''s dream to be a world dominator will just remain a dream, but Giovanni won''t give up. He still wants to capture Mewtwo and be a very powerful influence in the underworld as well, Giovanni knows that being a powerhouse in the Underworld will give him a lot of power to survive if hees across Julian again. Giovanni decided to not think about the current situation and enjoy his wine, he sat on his chair while stroking his Persian''s back, as he was enjoying his wine, he got a call from none other than Ang/Beta. Giovanni smiled and picked up the call. Giovanni "Beta, excellent work, looks like you did a fantastic job" Beta "Thank you, boss" She said. Giovanni "I am very impressed, you can spend some time in Unova and treat it as a vacation,e back in a month, I have another job for you" Beta "Fine, have a great day boss" Ang ended the call with a smile, being in Unova means spending more time with Julian, too bad Giovanni has no idea that one of his best spies has already been enved by Julian. Chapter 901 - Days Before The League (18+) Julian is currently sitting on a couch watching TV while someone is going down on his dick, this girl is none other than Ang, as soon as Giovanni told her to spend some time in Unova, she informed Julian about it and he called her. Since Julian didn''t have anyone to spend time with, he decided to call Ang as she seems to have nothing going on with her, as soon as she got here, Julian forced her on her knees and made her suck his dick while he watched some tv. ?? Ang made sure to do her best while sucking on Julian''s dick, she used her hands to stroke it while using her mouth to suck the tip, she then started to deepthroat it while making a lot of gagging sounds. It got louder and distracted Julian from watching the TV show, he looked at Ang''s face and noticed how into this she really was, she was sucking his dick as if she will never be able to do it ever again, tears ran out of her eyes but she didn''t stop, she continued deep throating him. Julian "You got good at this" He said while grabbing her hair lightly. Ang took his dick out of her mouth and smiled at him while licking the saliva around her mouth. Ang "I will do anything to please master" She said. Julian "Then, get back to what you were doing" He said and shoved his dick back into Ang''s mouth, he liked to dominate Ang very much, he made sure that his dick went all in right down her throat and then held her head there for a few seconds and didn''t let her go. He waited until he could feel Ang was about to run out of breath and he would then release her so that she could breathe again, he did this for a few minutes until he released a big load inside her mouth. Ang drank it all and licked her lips, she then opened her mouth and pulled out her tongue while stretching her mouth wide with her fingers. Ang "Master, use this mouth as your personal cum dumpster" She said while her mouth was being stretched, Julian smirked as he looked at how desperate Ang was to please him, he really made Ang his most loyal servant. He grabbed her head and shoved his hard massive dick inside her mouth again and fucked her mouth for half an hour, he came multiple times but Julian wanted to use Ang all day today. He was going topletely ruin this servant of his. Ang''s mouth was sore after taking his dick for so long. Julian "Get on the bed and on your fours" He ordered her to get on the bed and stick her ass out for him, he then followed behind her and joined her on the bed, he watched as Ang shook her ass which giggled slightly, weing him to use it however he wants. Julian could see her dripping wet pussy waiting for Julian''s dick, her asshole moving slightly. Julian then pped her ass hard. Ang "~Aaannnnnnn~" Ang moaned with pain and pleasure, she continued to p both her ass as they became red and bruised up with his finger marks, the ass became hot from all those ps, Ang was also having a great time being dominated. She felt euphoric as she felt the hot sensation on her ass. Julian "You have been a good girl, you should be awarded" He said while rubbing her pussy, his fingers went in and out of her slippery pussy as they dripped more love juice out of it. Ang "~Yes master~ please reward your personal whore" She said while shaking her hips, Julian nodded and shoved his dick right inside her wet pussy and started to pound her, there was no need for Julian to worry about pleasuring her, he could use her however he wanted and he liked to rough her up. Ang''s wild and loud moans filled the room, her moans even leaked out of the room, the female room cleaner that was walking down the hall heard the loud moans and stopped right in front of the door. She realized that this was the room where Julian was staying and suddenly her face turned red, she remembered seeing a very beautiful woman walk into his room before, she imagined how this woman is now getting fucked by her idol. This made her very horny, too bad she couldn''t see what was going on inside, she decided to find a restroom and relieve herself before getting back to work again. _____________________ Back inside Julian''s room, Ang was getting pounded none stop from every position, from the back, against the wall, being spooned, being turned into a ball by putting her legs behind her head. Julian put Ang in every position she could get in, luckily for them Ang was flexible, this went on for hours and Ang was already in euphoria, Julian creampied her pussy once again and then removed his dick from it as his cum mixed with her own dripped down her pussy through her legs. Just went Ang thought that it was over, she felt her master''s finger going in her asshole, he used her own juice to lubricate her asshole and without even telling her shoved his dick into her asshole. He had never fucked her in the ass before so this was new to Ang, she let out a scream as her colon was being stretched wide by his dick, tears flowed out of her eyes but her face told a different story, she felt great as Julian stretched her ass up. He then continued to pound her ass, once again he fucked her in every position he could put her in, her moans got louder and louder. Julian took turns, he would fuck her ass, then her pussy, then her mouth, he didn''t stop, he fucked her for hours, he finally stopped when he felt satisfied. He looked at Ang and realized that he once again ruined this whore of his but it didn''t matter, the look on her face said it all, she will never forget this day, the day where her master used her just like she wanted. Julian "Clean up after yourself and call someone to clean up this mess, I will be going out, once Ie back I will use you again" He said and got up. Ang "[emailprotected]&ta" She said some weird shit that no one could understand but it was enough for Julian, he knew that she got the message. ______________________ Julian would then spend the whole month training his pokemons and fucking his ves, he would call in Sk sometimes to join Ang and fuck them both together, he didn''t have Anastasia as she was traveling around the world as it was her job. This past month was great for Julian, he trained and then fucked his beautiful servants making them more loyal than ever. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX A/N - Just an adult chapter before the league, hope you guys have a great day. Chapter 902 - A Week Before The League Unova is currently very chaotic because there is only a week before the league starts and this time the Vertress Conference is bigger than it has ever been, with participants from all over the worlding to dethrone Julian as the strongest trainer, this has made every person in the world excited. The streets of Unova are busting with people who havee from other regions, cities like Opelucid, Humu have beenpletely stormed by visitors, every hotel there has been booked to the brim and people are struggling to find a ce to stay. ?? Since these people are not participants in the league, they cannot book hotel rooms in Vertress city where the league is being held. Vertress city is known for its beautiful scenery and its grand stadium where the league will be held, the Vertress stadium is abination of five massive stadiums, the biggest stadium is in the middle and acts as the grand stadium where the finals will be held. The other four stadiums are attached to this grand stadium, even though these stadiums are big, they are nothing inparison to the grand stadium. _______________________ Julian is current in Humu city, waiting for the league to finally start, he has been waiting for this for a month now and it''s finally here. His team is ready, his pokemons are excited about their big battle, they know how big of a responsibility they have on their shoulder, they need to continue winning just like their seniors who made Julian proud by doing bringing out their best in the league. They have watched the videos of Julian battling in the previous league and have seen how powerful their seniors really are, they saw many pokemons that belonged to Julian that they have never seen before, the pokemons that came before them belong to Garchomp''s group and that team was Julian''s second strongest team soing right after them was a lot of pressure. They were nervous but they are ready. Julian was done training them, there is no more he could teach them within a week, the only thing that he can do is to put them through some hard training to level them up, but it will be hard to level up after reaching the current level they are in, they all are over level 60, and it bes really hard to level up further. _______________________ Julian packed up his stuff and finally made his way towards Vertress city, he will be there in a week just before the league starts. On the road, Julian saw many things as he rode towards Vertress city, he saw a lot of people roaming around with their pokemon, most of these people came from other regions to watch the league, one could easily tell if someone is from another region by looking at their pokemon. Pokemons from other regions are very rare in Unova and the same goes the other way around, pokemons from Unova are very rare in other regions, due to the uniquendscape of Unova, the pokemon here were very different from pokemons found in other regions and exclusive to thisnd. They would have a hard time surviving in other regions as they might be treated as invasive pokemon by other pokemons, pokemons don''t like when a pokemon they have never seen beforee into their territory. _______________________ Five days passed and Julian was finally on victory road, and like every region, the victory road was decorated, everywhere he looked, he could see colorful decorations with the theme of the league. After another day of riding, he finally arrived at Vertress city, he arrived right on time, the starting ceremony will be in two days and the registration will end tomorrow. If trainers are not able to register themselves before the due date and time, they will not be able to participate in the league. As Julian entered the city, he saw a lot of trainers walking around enjoying the view, some were talking and showing off their pokemons, some were having battles while some were busy training their pokemons. Even though the city seemed lively, there was a sense of nervousness in the air as well, everyone here knows that this year, the league is not something they could take lightly, even getting in the top 128 will give their training career a huge boost. The trainers that are participating in the league are beyond strong and normal trainers had to work a lot harder to keep up with them. As Julian rode past them all, he could feel the excitement and nervousness in the air, he then made his way to the pokemon center as it is where he will be registering. He stopped right in front of the pokemon center and got off his bike, some looked at him and wonder who he could be because of the mask and sses he was wearing while others didn''t bother. Julian then removed his mask and smiled, he didn''t need to hide his face here, people know he would be here and most of them are trainers, and they all are quite intimidated by him, as they wouldn''t want to face him in the first round itself. Some people who were standing near the center saw Julian and were stunned as they watched him enter the pokemon center, as soon as he went in, they let out their breath suddenly started to talk about it, and updated their social media status telling everyone that they just saw Julian. Chapter 903 - Last Day Before The League As Julian walked into the pokemon center he attracted the attention of many people inside the pokemon center, as soon as people saw him, they gasped in surprise, some girls even screamed out of their lungs as they realized that it really was Julian. Julian just smiled and waved at them before walking towards Nurse Joy and smiling at her, Nurse Joy blushed as she saw Julian smile at her. ?? Joy "Can I help you?" She asked. Julian "I would like to register" He said and passed her his badge case and his trainer ID, she nodded and took them and registered him on theputer, she then passed them back to him and bowed her head. Joy "The opening ceremony will in the morning day after tomorrow and right after an hour, the league will start, your opponents will randomly be generated through theputer, how many times you will have to battle before entering the top 128 will depend on your win-loss record. I hope you understand everything?" She asked. Julian "Thankyou, I will be going then" Julian smiled at her once again and walked away, people just watched as Julian left, no one dared to stop him as they didn''t want to get on his bad side and people already know that Julian doesn''t like it when people get too close to him without his permission. He has made this clear many times and his fans respect it, this is the only thing good about them as they listen to him and won''t do things that he is against. He walked out of the pokemon center and noticed a lot of reporters were waiting outside for him, he could tell his fans not to approach him but when ites to reporters, they are a different breed, they don''t know what private space means even one bit, they would shove their mic and camera anywhere to ask even the most stupid question. As soon as he got close to his bike, mics and cameras were shoved towards his face as shes went off, Julian could not help but smile as he saw them rush towards him. "Mr. Julian, how are you nning to win the Unova League?" One reported asked. Julian "Just like always, I just hope my opponents will be able to keep up" He said. "What pokemons do you have this time in your team?" Another asked. Julian "You can wait for that, the league is just two days away" He answered. "Another question, do you expect to face a good challenge from your opponents after your grand announcement in the Sinnoh league?" Julian "I hope so, I challenged the world because I wantedpetition and it looks like the bar has been raised but I don''t know if it will be enough to stop me and my undefeated streak" "You seem overconfident about your victory, Mr. Julian" Another reporter asked. Julian "I am not overconfident, I just believe in my pokemons and know they will take down any opponent they face" He said. The reporters continued to ask many questions but Julian ignored them, gave them a smile with a hand wave, and rode off to the residential area where he will be staying. Vertress city allows trainers to use their hotels to stay during the league, the trainers don''t have to pay for the stay as the league handles all of them, only trainers who have registered for the league are allowed to stay here. There are also other residential areas given to the general public but they have been fully booked by people who have too much money or got very lucky in snatching one of the rooms. ______________________ Julian made his way towards the residential area, when he got there he entered a hotel and gave the receptionist his trainer id, the receptionist was shocked to have Julian standing right in front of him, he didn''t question much before quickly allocating Julian one of the best rooms in the hotel. He got himself and room and rested for the day. ______________________ The next day he got up and decided to look around the city before the league starts, but first, he turned on the tv to see what is going on, and to his surprise, every channel was ying his interview that he had yesterday. People were excited to see Julian battle, the inte is already blowing up and his fans are specting which pokemons he has in his team, many of them were right and many of them were wrong but it won''t matter until Julian reveals his team. Julian saw how much ruckus his fans were causing on the inte about his interview, because of how toxic his fans were, he also gained a lot of haters as well who were annoyed by Julian''s fans. He could only sigh and leave his fans alone, they were one of the only things that terrified him in this world. He put on his clothes and walked out of the hotel to take a look around the city. Chapter 904 - The Beginning Of The League Everyone present in Vertress city knows that Julian is here and is very excited about it, some of them who came from other regions were also very excited about it, they want to be the one that defeats Julian and take away his title from him. They believed that they would be the ones to take down Julian, but before that, they would have to battle each other to see who really is the strongest, some of them might get very lucky and encounter Julian in their very first battle, but that could also be their unluckiest day. ? ? Many think that they are the ones who will take down Julian but in reality, they are not so confident either, they have seen what Julian has done in the previous leagues he has participated in, the only ones who came close to giving Julian''s one pokemon a challenge were Lance and Ash. They studied his battling style and soon found out that he is very random, he never used the same battling style for too long, they also noticed how he would trap his opponents and y around with the battlefield depending on the pokemons present there. The more they looked into it they realized how hard it really is to corner him, but some of them were very excited about this, just like Julian some of them are also very strong in their own ways and have never been defeated or were defeated in a very long and difficult battle against a very strong opponent. ______________________ Julian put on his usual long ck coat and a mask and walked around the city to see what else is there in this city except for a lot of trainer and pokemons, luckily for Julian people didn''t seem to notice him much as there were too many people here, with his hood and mask on his head and face, it was enough for him to blend in the crowd. He went around the city and enjoyed his time here, he was impressed by the service provided by the people in charge of all the entertainment and food during this massive event. Having watched everything, Julian made his way back to the hotel and enjoy the peace and quiet because, after today, there will be a lot of ruckuses, people will be high and loud as the league starts. _______________________ The day has finallye, even though it was quite early, everyone was very excited and it was very noisy outside, Julian woke up and rubbed his eyes and looked outside, the sky is still orange in color but the streets are already filled with people. Julian "It''s so early and people are already getting busy" He said as he looked out of the window. Julian "I should get ready, the opening ceremony for the league will start soon" He said and got ready and headed out of the hotel room and directed headed towards the grand stadium, when he got there he was surprised by the number of people standing outside and waiting to rush inside and get a seat. Luckily for Julian he doesn''t need to join the crowd, he walked to the side of the grand stadium and showed his ID to the guard standing there, only trainers are allowed through this gate so they won''t get trapped in the crowd and miss the opening ceremony. The guard saw Julian''s ID and bowed at him and asked him to enter, Julian nodded and walked into the grand stadium, this stadium is as big as Julian expected and it could easily fit thousands of people both inside and outside. Julian made his way towards a room close to the battlefield to find a massive stadium filled with a crowd sitting there shouting out of their lungs and waiting for the trainers to make their way into the massive battlefield. Julian looked at the battlefield and was surprised by how big it really was, it was bigger than the one in the Sinnoh League, it looks like the league expanded the battlefield and reinforced it better for this year''s league, he just waited there for everything to start. He didn''t have to wait for long because the massive TVs around the stadium started to show a helicoptering towards the stadium, seeing this helicopter the crowd started to cheer louder. As the helicopter got right on top of the stadium two people looked out of the helicopter and started to wave at people down below, Julian looked through the ss window to see who these people are, he could recognize one of them as it was Officer Jenny, the other person not so much. Suddenly these two people jumped down from the helicopter, they opened up their parachute andnded right in front of the massive torch on the top of the stadium. Officer Jenny seems to be holding a burning torch in her hand and waved it around, the torch was burning with Moltres''s mes, Julian could easily tell if they were real or not and that thing in her hand is definitely real. The short man next to her then started to introduce himself, Julian finally remembered who this person is, this man is a very famous TV personality who is also known to host multiple TV shows and tournaments that are rted to pokemon which also include pokemon concerts as well. His name is Freddy O''Martian. Freddy "Let''s not wait any longer, let the league begin, trainers pleasee to the battlefield" Freddy said and called in the trainers, soon trainers started to walk into the battlefield and as they entered, people started to cheer for them. Julian "Let''s get going then" He said and walked out of the room and headed towards the battlefield as well. Chapter 905 - A Massive Welcome Trainers started to walk into the battlefield in the numbers of hundreds, people''s voices grew louder as they watched all these potential winners entering the battlefield. Whenever a big name walks in, the crowd goes wilder than before, big names like Virgil, Dino, Cameron, are the best trainers in Unova right now, and then being from Unova, people have their bias. ?? There are also a lot of powerful trainers in the crowd that these people have no idea about but they are the bigger fish in this league and all are aiming for the big price, not the league title but to defeat Julian. Soon the whole battlefield was filled with thousands of trainers, all of them were able to defeat the eight gym leaders of the Unova region and are here to battle against each other, they need to prove that they can survive. The league has a very easy way to weed out the week ones, trainers will battle their opponent who will be generated through theputer, if the trainer has three continuous wins, they will directly go into the preliminary rounds which is the top 128, trainers can only have one loss in their record and it is necessary for them to have three wins in their record. Trainers will lose more than one will be eliminated, there are thousands of trainers here and the pressure is on. Freddy "Now that everyone is here, let''s begin" He said and was about to tell Officer Jenny to light up the massive torch, he was suddenly interrupted by the loud cheer of the crowd, this time the cheers are so loud that trainers had to cover their ears. The sound of Julian''s name stormed the grand stadium and everyone turned their head at the entrance, they all saw a tall figure in ck walk in with a smile on his face, the confident aura around him made him seem invincible. The trainers that were on the battlefield were in awe as they saw how grand Julian''s wee was, they wanted the same treatment as him as well, they were envious and jealous at the same time, even if they could have ten percent of the poprity Julian has, they would be settled for life. Julian''s name has be a brand, a brand so big that anyone would invest in it. Julian looked at his crazy fans and waved at them and then made his way towards the front of the crowd, the trainers made a way for him to walk forward subconsciously, from above the scene looked very majestic. Even Officer Jenny who was near the massive torch was fangirling over him. Freddy "Now, it looks like everyone is really here, let the league begin" Freddy finally gave Jenny the call and she lit of the torch, the mes from Moltresbusted and lit up the massive torch and rose high up in the sky leaving an image of Moltres behind. The crowd cheered louder and fireworks went off everywhere lighting up the sky even though it was daytime. Freddy "Now, let me clear things up" Freddy said while adjusting his mic and throat while looking at the card in his hand. Freddy "The first rounds will begin in three hours, trainers can find your opponents on your phone on the league''s website, you will also see on which stadium you will be battling and on what time" Freddy started to exin the rules of the starting battles, even though all this information is avable on the league''s website, he is still obliged to do it. Once Freddy was done, the trainers were allowed to leave and get ready for their battle, the crowd, on the other hand, to stay here and watch the show that will be performed here on the stage, many big singers and performers are going to give a hell of a disy and the crowd is excited to see it. Julian looks around to see if he can find some simr faces, but he couldn''t find anyone in between the huge crowd of thousands of trainers, but he could tell that many of them were looking at him as well, these trainers wanted to battle him and take away his title and Julian wanted to see how good this league''s participants are. Julian ''Time to leave I guess, or I could stay back and watch the performance'' He thought and decided to stay behind and watch the performance that will take ce here, Julian walked out of the battlefield and went into the VIP section and got himself a room, and sat down to watch the performance as other trainers made their way out of the stadium to prepare for the first round of the Unova League. An hour passed and Julian was enjoying the show when his phone started to buzz, he looked at it and saw good luck messages from his fianc¨¦es, he smiled and then noticed another message but from Yesh. [Meet you at the finals, teacher] The message read. Julian smiled. Julian "Someone seems very confident, let''s see if he can make it" He said and looked at the league''s website to see who his first opponent is and where he has to battle. Chapter 906 - Round 1 Begin Julian decided to leave the grand stadium and go to the north side stadium where he will be having his very first battle, his opponent seems to be someone random and he has no idea who he is, the trainer seems to be from Unova as well. Julian looked at this trainer''s record and was really not impressed by this trainer, he realized that this will be a quick on, well he doesn''t expect to meet a strong trainer so soon, there are thousands of trainers here and for him to encounter a very strong trainer at the very beginning is quite rare. ?? Julian made his way towards the north stadium, just like before when he got there, he saw a lot of people standing outside waiting for the league to start officially, he walked to the side of the stadium and made his way into the waiting room, only an hour is left before the battles officially start and people are already getting restless. When he entered his waiting room, the trainers who were already inside by surprised by seeing him, there are multiple waiting rooms inside the stadium and a number of trainers are allocated a waiting room to use. Julian made his way towards the empty couch and sat down while looking at the tv ying the same concert he was watching a few minutes before in the grand stadium, there is still a lot of time for him to chill around. The trainers who were inside the waiting room got a little tense but seeing that Julian was not bothering them, they calmed down and focused on preparing themselves for their uing battle, luckily for them none of them were facing Julian in the first round. Julian waited and an hour passed by, Julian watched as the video switched up on the TV and the announcer took his ce in his room and started to hype up the massive audience, and soon the first round began, Julian sat down and watched as he is not participating in the first round. Few trainers from the waiting room headed out as their names were called, they seemed nervous and wondered if they will be able to win this battle, it is very clear that a trainer can only have one loss in their record, they just hope that even if they lose this would be theirst loss in the league. The first round began and the battles started, trainers battled each other and some lost, some won and some ended up in a draw. When ites to a draw, it is a very gray area because not many battles end up in a draw, if a trainer has a draw and a loss in their record, they will have to battle again with some with the same record and if there is no one there with the same record, they will get eliminated. The trainers who went out to battle came back as the first round ended, some of them were very happy as they won, some of them were not so happy as their first loss took ce and they hoped that they won''t have to lose again. The second round was about to begin and a worker came in and called out names of the next trainers that will be participating in the second round, Julian''s name was also called along with the others. He finally got up from the couch and headed towards the battlefield, as he walked out of the entrance, the crowd went crazy seeing him, it was time for Julian to take action and people are ready for him. He headed towards his allocated battlefield and waited for his opponent to make their way to the battlefield as well, just like Julian many trainers walked out of the entrance and took their ce on their own allocated battlefield, these small battlefields were enough for a single battle and the whole stadium could fit multiple trainers simultaneously as they battle. Julian looked around as he watched trainers starting their battle already, he looked around to find his opponent but to his surprise, he couldn''t find him at all, the referee allocated to his battle was also confused and checked his watch, time was already running out and this trainer is still not showing his face. The crowd started to get restless and booed, they wanted to see Julian battle but without an opponent, he couldn''t The time ran out and the referee decided to call this battle and end it. Referee "The winner is trainer Julian as his opponent is nowhere to be seen" After the referee''s call, the crowd booed even louder, they were really mad that they couldn''t see Julian battle, their boos even affected other trainers on the battlefield and it caused them to lose focus and some of them lost because of this. Julian sighed and made his way back to the waiting room and waved at his fans before disappearing into the stadium. The boos and cheers were still mixed, the boos were for the trainer who didn''t show up and the cheers were for Julian, everyone spected that the trainer was so scared to face Julian that he didn''t show up at all and it was indeed true. When the trainer found out that he would be facing Julian in the first round, he lost all hope, he didn''t want to get destroyed so he decided to skip this round and take that first loss, it doesn''t matter if he shows up or not, he will lose. The trainer decided to take the loss without battling so that his pokemons are still in their best shape for his next match, in theory, this trainer took the best option avable to him, this might ruin his reputation a little but he now has a better chance of winning his next battle. Chapter 907 - One Hit KOs The first round is going to be a long event as the league wants to finish the selection round in two days, thousand of trainers will battle multiple times before advancing forward. Julian still has another match today and it''s in an hour from now, he gets back to his waiting room and waits for more rounds to pass, soon another hour passed and Julian was once again called into the battlefield. ?? Just like before, as he entered the battlefield and the crowd went wild to his entrance, his name echoed all over the battlefield and overshadowed every other trainer on the battlefield. Julian then waved at them and told them to calm down and the crowd did calm down, he looked at the referee and then at the empty position where his opponent should be, but this time his opponent didn''t run away and decided to battle Julian. This person had won his first battle easily but when he realized that he was battling Julian for the next round, he felt like someone gave him a full power roundhouse kick on his stomach, he even thought of giving up and not attending this battle but seeing how Julian''s first opponent got bashed all over the inte by the people, he decided to take the loss directly from Julian''s hand. Seeing that Julian finally has an opponent, the crowd went crazy again, this time they will be able to see Julian battle. The trainer took his stop and looked at Julian, he seemed a little nervous but he was ready for the battle, the referee stepped in and announced the rules before starting the battle. Referee "This will be a one vs one pokemon battle, the pokemon which is unable to battle at the end will lose" The referee said and looked at both trainers. Referee "Both trainers choose your pokemon" Julian didn''t wait around and sent his first pokemon to the battlefield, Darmanitan, Darmanitan came out of the battlefield and belches around while mming his hands down on the battlefield creating small tremors. Looking at Julian''s choice, Wiliam takes a deep breath and sent out his pokemon, Carracosta, he sent out Carracosta because it is four times resistant to fire type attacks and since Darmanitan is a pure fire type pokemon, Wiliam hoped that his Carracosta will survive a little longer. Now that both pokemons are on the battlefield, the referee decided to start the battle Referee "Trainer Julian, ready?" Julian "Yes" Referee "Trainer Wiliam, ready?" Wiliam "Yes" Referee "You may begin" As soon as the referee made the call Wiliam made his move and attacked without holding back, he knew that attack is the best defense right now. Wiliam "Use Hydro Pump" His Carracosta charged up its more powerful Hydro Pump and shot a devastating water st at Darmanitan, this Carracosta is no joke. It''s clearly over level 60 and could easily match up against any gym leader''s main pokemon. Julian "Hammer Arm" Julian called out. His Darmanitan started to beat his chest and charged right at the Hydro Pump while using his powerful legs to shoot at it while using a straight punch with his right hand. Powerful and destructive fighting energy formed around his right hand and Darmanitan tore right through the Hydro Pump,pletely shattering it, he moved so fast that when he hit the Hydro Pump, it made a loud sound, the sound was simr to a rock falling from a great height into an ocean or sea. Darmanitan continued forward andnded the Hammer Arm right on Carracosta''s armor and sent it flying through the battlefield and crash into the wall and just like that the battle was over. The whole stadium was silent and then burst into a massive cheer, just like they expected from Julian''s match, short and destructive, only powerful trainers couldst long against Julian on a battlefield and even though Wiliam was still a decent trainer, he was not good enough. The referee looked at the Carracosta which was sted out of the battlefield and knocked out cold, he didn''t even see what happened, he just heard two loud booms and the battle was over. Referee "Carracosta is unable to battle, Darmanitan wins" The crowd continued to cheer as Julian made his way out of the stadium, he was done for the day and decided to head back to his hotel room, he still has one more battle to go before he can enter the top 128 but it was tomorrow so it didn''t matter to him. It would be just another battle before he starts to face off against the real power hitters in this league, ___________________ Hours passed and the first day of the league finally came to an end and people already started to talk about the big battles that took ce today, people talked about Julian''s amazing knockout, but he was also not the only one who won by a one-hit KO. There was a guy with an eye patch who also seemed very strong and his pokemon were very ruthless, Julian saw the video of this trainer and frowned, he was finally able to see this trainer, he had heard about him from different gym leaders and how powerful he was and they were not wrong, Julian could tell that this person is really strong, maybe even stronger than a champion. There was Yesh, he also won both his battles with single hit KO, Julian saw his knockouts and was impressed by it as well. Ash also had a battle with a single hit KO with his Pikachu, his other battle didn''tst long but it took Ash some effort to take down his opponent. Julian also saw Glen who also had a single hit KO battle. He was indeed a very strong trainer. He then saw Karl, another one-hit KO battle, Julian remembered this person, he met this guy in his early days when he just arrived at Unova, Karl lost to him once and it seems he has improved a lot as well. And just like them, there were more trainers who showed ridiculous power which caused a lot of hype for this year''s Unova league, everyone could tell that the stakes have been risen very high and not many leagues in the future will be able to topple this one. Chapter 908 - Meeting Trip Again The league was going grate and the crowd was enjoying the battles, people were already cing their bets on who will enter the top 128, of course, the best bets were Julian and other high ranking trainers but the payoff is quite less, many people studied trainers and looked for the ones that would barely make it through just one loss. This gave them a better chance of getting more in return. ?? ______________________ The second day of the league began and Julian made his way towards the east stadium this time as hisst match will be held here, when he entered the waiting room he was surprised to see someone simr inside. It was Trip, the kid he saw when he was in Nuvema town who battled Ash with his Snivy, even though he lost he did impress Julian, his Snivy was also a great pokemon for a starter pokemon. Trip also saw Julian entering the waiting room along with other trainers as well, most of them felt tense and excited as they saw Julian, Trip, on the other hand, was a little excited, he wanted to meet Julian for a long time, just like any other trainer he was also a fan. Trip walked towards Julian and looked at him. Trip "Hello Mr. Julian" He introduced himself. Julian "I remember you, it''s Trip right, how is that Snivy of yours?" Julian asked and smiled. Trip "Huh? How did you know my name and about Snivy?" He couldn''t remember ever meeting Julian before. Julian "Did you forget, I met you in Nuvema Town, I saw you battle Ash" Julian said. Trip tried to remember his time in Nuvema town and suddenly remembered about the man in mask telling him to take good care of Snivy because it is a special pokemon. Trip "That was you" He suddenly realized and said. Julian "I see you remember, so how is that Snivy of yours, that little thing knew how to use Leaf Strom, I was really surprised when I saw that" He said remembering how Trip''s Snivy used Leaf Storm even though it was just a beginner-level pokemon, he would have never believed it someone told him that this happened if he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes. Trip "Snivy no is a Serperior and he is doing well" He said. Julian "I see, I will be looking forward to seeing how it performs, you think you can reach the top 8?" He asked, seeing so many hidden powerful trainers in the league, it would be very hard for trainers like Trip to make it through, even though he proved himself to be an exceptional trainer, the level of other trainers is very high. Trip "I don''t know but I will give it my all" He said. Julian "That''s good, keep up that spirit and it will take you far ahead in the future" He said and walked past Trip and took a seat on the couch and waited for the league battles to start again, soon the first round began and trainers made their way towards the stadium. The first round of the second day ended and trainers returned back to their waiting room, some disappointed, some happy, and some a little worried as they experienced their first loss. The second round was about to start and the trainers were called in, Trip was also in the group, Julian wished him good luck as he walked out of the waiting room. Trip made his way into the battlefield and won again giving him his third victory, making sure that he was one of the trainers that enter the Top 128, Julian saw the Serperior in action and it used a very powerful Leaf Strom to win the battle. He was happy to see the little Snivy grow into such a powerful Serperior but he also knew that Trip won''t make it to the Top 8, the level of the trainers was too high for him in this league. The second round was over and just like before trainers came back, some saddened that this was theirst day, some happy that they won. Trip also came back and decided to keep to himself as that was his character, he got a little excited at the beginning when he saw Julian but now he seems a littleposed. The third round began and Julian was finally called, Julian got up from the couch and stretched his arms, and headed towards the battlefield, Trip watched on the TV screen as Julian entered, he saw how the crowd received Julian. This made his blood boil from excitement, he imagined himself in Julian''s ce, all these people cheering for him, to see him battle and be an undefeated champion. Trip ''I will be like him, one day.'' He thought to himself. ________________________ Back on the battlefield, Julian waved at his fans as they screamed his name, he then walked towards his own stationed battlefield just like other trainers and saw that his opponent was already waiting for him. "Finally, you came, I was waiting for this moment, who would have thought that the great Julian will experience his first loss before the Top 128" Julian''s opponent said while folding his arms and holding a smug look on his face, seeing his opponent Julian made a surprised face (£¨¡Ñ£ï¡Ñ£©), he didn''t know where his opponent got this confidence from but he didn''t mind it at all, this put a smile on his face as he took his position on the battlefield. Chapter 909 - Another One Hit KO Julian looked at his very confident opponent and tried to remember who this person is, he soon remembered seeing that face on the inte, he was one of the trainers that came from other regions and had won two of his battles very easily. "Since this is going to be your first defeat, I think you should have the right to know my name" ?? Julian''s opponent said. Julian "Sure, go ahead" Julian said while being amused, he also wondered how fast he should take down his opponent. "My name is Kyle and I will be the one to defeat you" Julian "Sure, I hope so" He said and looked at the referee and signaled him to begin the battle, the referee nodded and started to exin the rules before asking both trainers to choose their pokemon. Julian thought for a second before sending out his Escavalier to the battlefield. Kyle "Hahaha, a very bad choice, don''t you know that I am an expert in training fire type pokemons, your Escavalier being four times weak to fire type makes it easier for me to win this battle" Heughed and sent out his Magmortar on the battlefield, Julian looked at the Magmortar and was impressed, a very powerful pokemon. Kyle "Shocked? My Magmortar has never tasted defeat and this shall continue" Julian "That is indeed a very powerful Magmortar you got there, but do you really think it will be enough?" Julian asked and put up a serious face and looked straight into his opponent''s eyes, Kyle suddenly felt that he was being stalked by a predator as he looked at Julian, he feltpletely different this time, he has never met an opponent that made his feel like this, he also put on a serious face and realized that things might not go as easy has nned for him Referee "Are both trainers ready?" The referee asked Once the referee got a nod from both trainers to start the battle, he didn''t wait any longer and brought the gs down. Kyle didn''t wait around and went for the finish as soon as the battle started. Kyle "Magmortar, use Fire st" His Magmortar charged up its most powerful Fire st and shot it at Julian''s Escavalier, the Fire st was massive and very hot, it caused the whole atmosphere to heat up as well. Julian "Drill Run" Seeing the massive attacking towards Escavalier, Julian wasn''t worried at all, he asked Escavalier to use Drill Run, Escavalier pointed his two javelin arms in front of his body, joining their tips together and started to gather up ground energy in his body, his body started to glow yellow and he then started to spin very fast. Soon his metallic body couldn''t be seen at all and it was reced by a glowing yellow drill that is spinning very fast, the air around Escavalier started to twist along with him creating a twister as well sucking everything into it. Escavalier then moved forward at extreme speed, his speed alone is not great but using the wind and the power behind his move, he can move a lot faster, Escavalier charged right into the Fire st and tore through it easily, the ground energy around him acted as a protectiveyer against the hot fire, the air behind Escavalier sucked in the air and left behind a trail of hot mes. Kyle was shocked by this and before he could ask his Magmortar to move out of the way, Escavalier was already therending the very powerful Drill Run on Magmortar''s body, Magmortar was then sent flying from the impact which also left a massive explosion behind. Magmortar crashed on the ground and got knocked out cold after one powerful hit, Escavalier was still spinning but he started to slow down and when he finally stopped he rxed his arms and looked at his fallen opponent. Kyle couldn''t believe what just happened, he was very confident in his Magmortar''s defense but it still got knocked out by Julian''s Escavalier which also went past his most powerful attack and then knocked Escavalier out with a single move. He lost his very first battle and that too in one hit, this was devastating, Julian, on the other hand, didn''t feel bad at all, he had told the world that he won''t hold back and if trainers really believe that they can stop him, they have toe at him with all they got. He was sending a message to every trainer out there that thinks they can juste in and defeat him, he wanted to tell them that they are delusional, he was telling them that they still need to do better than they can to even put a scratch on his pokemons. The crowd on the other hand was going wild after seeing such a powerful move by Julian, once again, by how he has revealed two pokemons, and both of them are ridiculously powerful. The trainers on the other hand had a very serious face, especially the ones that specifically came from other regions to defeat Julian, they all had seen Kyle and thought of him as a decent trainer but he got taken down by Julian with such ease, this put a doubt on their head. They realized why Julian has been undefeated till now, there were also trainers who got even more excited when they saw this, one of them were the man wearing an eye patch, he had a menacing smile on his face and a mad look in his eyes as he saw Julian is action. "Interesting, hahahaha, it''s been so long since I felt my blood boil" The man said andughed, many people around him were creeped out by this man and decided to keep their distance from him. Somewhere else, Yesh was also looking at the TV and saw how easily Julian took down Kyle and wondered what he would have done in that scenario, he knows Julian''s way of battling better than anyone, he has studied it and he alone knows that how hard it really is to touch Julian''s pokemon when he gets serious. Ash also saw Julian take down Kyle''s pokemon and clenched his fist tightly, he remembered his loss against Julian in both Hoenn and Sinnoh league, this time he was determined to give Julian that challenge he asked for. Ash "Pikachu, let''s give Julian what he asked, a real battle" He said to Pikachu who is sitting on his shoulder. Pikachu "PIKACHUuuuu" Pikachu called out his name with determination and a serious face simr to Ash. Glen and Karl also saw this, Glen had a big smile on his face while Karl was determined, both of them wanting to be the one to defeat Julian. Chapter 910 - Start Of Preliminary The Crowd couldn''t stop cheering after seeing the knockout and just like that Julian became one of the trainers that are part of the Top 128. Since the battle was over the referee made the call. ?? Referee "Magmortar is unable to battle, Escavalier wins" With that it was official, Julian was in the top 128. Now that the battle is over, he didn''t wait around, he sent Escavalier back to his Pokeball and walked out of the battlefield while waving at his fans. ______________________ The inte broke down again, Julian''s second pokemon was revealed and people who guessed it correctly got a very big bag of money, just like every time the league happens, people like to bet on things and one category is which pokemon Julian will use during the league. If people guess it right, their money triples in amount, people who had guessed that Julian had Darmanitan and Escavalier got their money back three folds and they were very happy. When Julian found out about this he couldn''t believe this at all, he realized that people will start betting on anything to earn some money. He sighed and continued training his pokemon, the preliminaries will start in two days and he wants his pokemons to be in perfect shape when the battle, the league is still going on as the top 128 is still not decided, there are still a few more battles left. _______________________ Just like Julian, a lot of trainers from the top 128 were gaining a lot of attention, Dhrago the man with the eye patch, he battles were very destructive and it caught the attention of many people, they thought that he might be the one to defeat Julian, there is also Yesh, his battles were very technical. Some of Julian''s fans even thought that Yesh''s battle style was influenced by Julian so they also cheered for them. Ash was also getting a lot of attention, they know Ash, he is a famous trainer from the Kanto region and he is the only trainer to battle Julian two times in the finals making him another candidate to battle Julian in the finals. There are the two dark horses of this league, Karl and Glen, they came from other regions but they have shown a lot of power and techniques during their battles which made them stand out a lot as well. There were also some trainers from Unova who stood out, Virgil who seems to have a team filled with Eeveelutions and he seems to be a very experienced trainer even though he looks very young. Then there is Dino, a hot-headed teenager who seems to have a very destructive battle style. There is also Trip who is doing very well. Last but not least is Cameron who also swept through thepetition along with his Lucario which seems very strong. There were also many other trainers among them who stood up but it didn''t matter because they didn''t leave any impression on the audience. People already started to bet who will face Julian in the finals, this also caused a massive uproar on the inte as people picked their own favorites, they shit on each other''s choice as well. Theypared battle styles and tried to prove that they were the right ones and that their choice is the one that is going to battle Julian and maybe even defeat him, but the more these people argued the stupider their arguments became, and soon they started to call out each other by cursing at their moms and mental state. These things continued for the two days before the preliminaries finally started. _______________________ The day hase, it''s the day of the first preliminary rounds, now people don''t have to see multiple trainers battling in the same stadium, each of them will battle each other on a big battlefield. The preliminaries will still be a one vs one pokemon battle. After the preliminaries, the top 64 are left and they will have to battle in the qualifiers, the qualifiers will be divided into three rounds. In the first round, the top 64 will battle each other using two pokemons, which will lead to only 32 trainers remaining. In the second round, the top 32 will battle each other again using two pokemons from which the top 16 will be revealed. And in the final round, the top 16 will battle each other but this time they will use three pokemons until 8 trainers are left. These eight trainers will then move forward to the finals where they will be using all six of their pokemons to battle in the Quarter Finals, Semi-Finals, and the Finals. ________________________ People are getting crazy over this again, they cannot contain their excitement, theputer has randomly selected opponents for trainers for the preliminary round. The preliminary will be held for two days, so 32 battles will take ce today and the league will be utilizing all the four stadiums around the grand stadium, each stadium will have eight battles per day. So half will be battling today and the other half will be battling tomorrow. Luckily for Julian, he was going to battle today and he is up first and he is battling someone random Julian has no idea about. He went to the north stadium and entered the battlefield as his fans cheered for him, his opponent also walked in, the referee exined the rules, asked them to choose their pokemons and once they did, the referee waved his gs down to indicate the start of the battle. The battle started.... It then ended. Julian sent Gigalith and earthquakes his opponent''s pokemon and it was done. Chapter 911 - Karls New Method Julian just entered the top 64 with a single move again continuing to make his fans wait for the big battle. Once Julian was done he decided to get a private room and watch the other battles, right after Julian there were many other battles, some of them were mediocre in his eyes while some of them did stand out. ?? On the fifth battle, he finally saw someone familiar walk in, it was Karl, it has been very long since Julian has seen him,st time they battled, Julian easily defeated him and now he wants to see how much Karl has improved. Karl walked into the battlefield and waited for his opponent, the crowd was clearly cheering for Karl, and Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t think that a new face like Karl would have such poprity. He smiled and watched wondering how this will all y out, encountering a powerful opponent right now is the preliminary is very easy so Karl mighte across a very strong opponent in the very beginning. Karl''s opponent walked in and from the looks of it, this trainer didn''t stand out muchpared to Karl, every strong trainer has a confident aura around them and this person had none. Julian ''This might be a very boring fight'' He thought while still in doubt, he didn''t want to judge a person just by how they look, when he first saw Yesh, he looked like a creepy kid, if he had not seen Yesh battle, he would have thought of him to be just another random weird kid. The referee also walked in and started the battle, Karl sent out his Scolipede while his opponent sent out a Swanna, a good choice against Scolipede. With both trainers ready to battle, the referee started the battle. Karl decided to go on defense as he has an idea on how to counter his opponent. His opponent started with a Water Pulse but Karl''s was very fast and dodged it very easily, his opponent tried multiple attacks from distance but Karl''s Scolipede was very fast and his opponent couldn''t get even on hit on it. Julian was surprised by Scolipede''s speed, he knows that these pokemons are very fast but this one seems even faster than normal ones, it might be a huge challenge oveing that speed. Karl''s opponent soon got very frustrated and decided to get close andnd some physical hits but this was the biggest mistake he could make, as soon as his Swanna dove in using Aerial Ace, Karl made his move. Karl "Wrap it and then use Take Down" As Swanna got close and was about tond the Aerial Ace, Scolipede used its long body and many legs to suddenly wrap around Swanna and grab onto its wings, it took the hit but in exchange, it caught its opponent. It then put its whole body weight behind itself and mmed Swanna on the ground and didn''t let go, Swanna was hurt and tried to get out but the grip was very tight. Karl "Use Toxic" While Swanna was still wrapped, Scolipede used Toxic and poisoned it badly before beating it to exhaustion while the Toxic slowly knocked it out, the Swanna couldn''t handle Scolipede''s body weight, and the more it tried to struggle the more exhausted it got and the Toxic started to work even better. Once Swanna was out cold, Scolipede released Swanna and went back, the referee made the call dering Karl''s victory. Julian who was watching this was surprised by how Karl took down his opponent, he could have used other methods and could have won easily but he used a method he had never seen before, trapping a pokemon and make itself the reason behind its demise. In that battle, Karl''s Scolipede didn''t waste any energy at all, it just used a Take Down using its bodyweight, it then used which doesn''t need much energy, and then used its bodyweight to bully Swanna into submission. Julian wondered how he would get out of the situation and soon came up with many ideas, these might be risky but it''s better than getting pressed down by a heavy pokemon which can also poison your pokemon. Julian ''Interesting, he might have changed his battle style but it''s too early toe to a conclusion.'' He thought and left the room, there were no other big battles, in this stadium, he decided to go to the other stadiums because Ash also seems to have his battle today in the south stadium and it should just be staring. To Julian''s surprise, Ash was battling Trip, he didn''t expect the two of them will be battling in the very first round in the preliminary, unfortunately for them, one of them will have to say goodbye to their Unova journey. Julian wondered how much Ash has improved on his own this time, he didn''te across Ash much during his stay in Unova but he seems to be doing well, he drew with Yesh before but Julian has no idea how much he has improved since then. Well, he will find out soon. He entered the south stadium and found himself another private room to watch the battle from, he watched as the seventh battle finally came to an end and it was time for thest battle in this stadium and that is Ash vs Trip. Chapter 912 - Ash Vs Trip 2 It was time for Ash and Trip''s battle, Julian waited as both trainers made their way into the battlefield, first the announcer introduced Trip, as Trip entered the battlefield the people started to cheer louder, being someone from Unova he had the support of the home team. The announcer then called out Ash and Ash received even a bigger wee, people know him and he is quite famous, even though he doesn''t have a league win under his name, he has been in two big finals proving that he is a very strong trainer on his own. ?? Both Ash and Trip stared at each other as they knew that the journey will end here for one of them and they don''t want to be that person. Referee "This will be a one vs one pokemon battle, the battle will end when one of the trainer''s pokemon won''t be able to battle anymore" The referee exined the rules of the battle and asked the trainers to choose their pokemon, Trip went first and sent out his Serperior while Ash sent his Pikachu. A rematch once again, both of them battled before in the past with these same pokemon, while Pikachu continues to grow stronger, Serperior on the other hand evolved from a Snivy into what it is today, it is stronger and faster than it ever was. But to the eyes of the strong trainers, they can clearly see this is a miss-matched battle, Pikachu here is a much stronger pokemon. Julian also thought the same, unlike him, Ash can''t help his pokemons level up super fast and have Omniforce to strengthen them, his Pikachu is still struggling to level up unlike Julian''s pokemon but Pikachu''s power is still beyond any elite level pokemon and can easily take on champion level pokemon and even defeat them. Pikachu has also defeated many legendary pokemons on his own, now it is up to Trip to prove to everyone that his Serperior can hang in there with the best of the best. Now that both trainers are ready, the referee began the match. Ash started the battle with a Quick Attack, his Pikachu moved and left behind afterimages as he ran around the battlefield, Serperior made sure to not lose sight of Pikachu, as soon as Pikachu got behind and tried tond that Quick Attack but Serperior seems to have sensed the attacking and moved out of his way. Pikachu missed andnded on his feet and there was surprise written on his face, he didn''t expect Serperior to be so fast. Trip "Use Aqua Tail" Serperior charged at Pikachu and turned its whole body, putting all its body weight and momentum behind its tail while using Aqua Tail, a veil of glowing water energy surrounded Serperior''s tail. Ash "Counter with Iron Tail" Pikachu used his legs andunched himself towards Serperior as his tail turned itself into hard iron and swung it at Serperior, both of them collided creating a massive shockwave, both pokemons got sent flying backward from that exchange, Pikachu did a backflip and got on his feet while Serperior crashed on the ground since it had no hands and legs tond on. Serperior got up without much effort, Trip doesn''t seem much concerned about it at all and continued to focus on the battle. The battle continued for a little while, Pikachu and Serperior continued battling, Serperior tried to use its weight and physical power to dominate in this battle but Pikachu was too fast and his moves were too explosive to take them head-on. Serperior slowly started to get tried after moving that huge mass of it around the battlefield while Pikachu still had a lot inside his tank. Trip "Let''s end this, Use Leaf Strom" Trip wanted to hit hard and called for a Leaf Storm, a massive green tornado appeared, sharp leaves were moving outside the tornado at high speed as it made its way towards Pikachu. Ash "Pikachu, use Thunder" Pikachu charged up his cheeks and shot a lightning bolt at the sky which suddenly dispersed and created a massive dark cloud in the sky, suddenly a massive bolt of lightning came crashing down on the Leaf Tornado and hitting it right in the middle. The sudden explosion from inside the tornado destroyed it and the sharp leaves flew everywhere along with the wild winds that blew everything on the battlefield. Ash "Pikachu, use Electro Ball" Pikachu shot a fast electric ball at Serperior as soon as the tornado got destroyed. Trip "Counter with Vine Whip" Serperior shot two whips at the Electro Ball, the first whip slowed down the Electro Ball and the second one destroyed it, right after that Trip called out for a Dragon Pulse and Pikachu countered with a Thunderbolt. The battle continued and the more it got dragged out the more Serperior was getting tired and this battle was sooning to an end. Trip "Use Iron Tail" As Serperior got closer, it swing its massive tail using Iron Tail, seeing the iing attack, Ash made his call as well. Ash "Use Thunderbolt" Pikachu charged up and sted and powerful Thunderbolt right at the Iron Tail by making some distance between them, the sh of the moves suddenly caused a big explosion, and as soon as the smoke disappeared Serperior could be seen holding its heads up but its eyes were tight shut. Its head then suddenly crashed on the ground and fainted. Referee "Serperior is unable to battle, Pikachu wins" And just like that Ash won and Trip will have to end his Unova journey here, Trip clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in frustration as he suffered another loss at Ash''s hand. Ash on the other hand was very happy that he won and will be continuing forward into the qualifiers. Julian who was watching this smiled like an old man, he knew that Trip will one day be a great trainer and maybe even the champion of Unova in the future and he would love to battle with the young man when that happens. Julian headed back to his hotel room as thest battle of the day ended, tomorrow will be another round of the Preliminary before the Qualifiers start. Chapter 913 - Dhragos Power The second day of the preliminaries began and this was also as big as the first one because many big names in the league are battling today, them being Dhrago, Yesh, Glen, Virgil, Dino, and Cameron. Julian also wanted to see these battles, he was really interested in watching Dhrago battle, he wanted to see more about this trainer, he has seen his actions but never seen him in person and how he battles. ?? The only battle that he has seen Dhrago being in was a single hit KO, he also wanted to see if Yesh will do anything special in his battle and how much he has improved, till now none of the big yers have shown what they are truly capable of. Julian headed towards the west stadium where Dhrago will be battling and his match seems to be one of the early ones as well, he got himself a room and waited for his battle. The first battle was not something Julian was interested in, it was just two normal trainers dragging the battle till one of the pokemon fell, luckily for Julian he didn''t have to wait any longer because the next battle was Dhrago against another random trainer who Julian didn''t know. But as he looked at this trainer''s record, he was impressed, her battle record was very impressive, none of her opponents were able tost for more than three minutes against her and her pokemons were clearly much superior in battlespared to their opponents. He wondered if she will be able to give a challenge to Dhrago so that Julian could see him in actions and his methods. The announcer started to hype the crowd and make sure that they are ready to witness another great battle, Dhrago''s fame has been rising among hardcore pokemon battle fans, when they watch how destructive his methods are, they felt thrilled. Many hated him as well, they said that he was too cruel, they said that he could hold back against his opponents but he didn''t, but many people defended him as well saying that this is a pokemon battle and pokemons sometimes get hurt and that they cannot me Dhrago for being a pokemon trainer. Julian also had the same thoughts, this is a pokemon battle and pokemon gets hurt but he also knows that people have not seen the full extent of Dhrago''s brutality, he has not seen Dhrago is action as well but he has seen the results. ______________________ The announcer didn''t make the audience wait for much longer and finally introduced the first participant, he called out the girl who will be facing Dhrago first. Soon a girl walked in with long purple hair who seems to be around 16 years old, her name Tanisha, the crowd cheered for her and she got a lot of fans during this league as she was exposed to the public, she came from another region to test herself against the top elites of the pokemon world and till now she felt that she was doing great. She liked the attention she was getting and was ready for this battle, she is also a little nervous because she has seen her opponent in action and he looked fierce with his methods. She was confident but this battle didn''t feel right to her, she took her position on the battlefield and waited for her opponent to arrive. The announcer then introduced Dhrago and as soon as his name was called, the crowd started to get loud, then a person finally walked in. This man looks big, he is tall has wide shoulders, rough hair, and an eyepatch over one of his eyes, this guy looked very menacing to everyone but people still cheered for him because he is strong. Julian watched with focus as he didn''t want to miss it. Dhrago grinned as he looked at his opponent and took his position on the battlefield, his opponent suddenly felt a chill down her spine as she saw Dhrago staring at her with his grin. She felt ufortable but stood her ground, she believed in herself. The referee then started to exin the rules of the battle just like every other pokemon battle, he then asked both of them to choose their pokemon. Tanisha went first and sent out a Typhlosion, her Typhlosion came out and roared as the mes on its back red up causing the air around it to get distorted. Dhrago justughed and sent out a Hitmonlee, the Hitmonlee came into the battlefield and stood its ground and looked at its opponent, it stared at its opponent with its cold eyes and kicked the air in front of it. It''s kicks generated shockwaves indicating how powerful those kicks could really be, Julian saw this and was impressed, he realized that Dhrago might really be the one who might battle him and give him a good battle. Now that both trainers have chosen their pokemon, the referee started the battle with the wave of his gs. As soon as the battle started, Tanisha went for the attack using a methrower but Dhrago didn''t seem concerned, Dhrago "Brick Break" Dhrago called out a move and his Hitmonlee moved, it moved so fast that it left afterimages behind followed by a shockwave, it then tore right through the methrower as if it was nothing, and thennded a powerful kick using Brick Break right on Typhlosion''s stomach. Typhlosion got folded as its legs got lifted off the ground and its upper body bent down while its head almost touched its feet, before the Typhlosion even flew away it got knocked out cold as its eyes went t. Then its whole body flew back like a rag doll and crashed into the wall creating an indent, people were shocked by seeing this feat of strength. Tanisha was shocked as well, she ran to her Typhlosion to check on it and started to get worried because she saw a very big bruise on its stomach, it was very clear that the Brick Break caused some internal damage to Typhlosion. Julian frowned seeing this, he didn''t like how Dhrago handled this, it was clear as a day that the Hitmonlee was clearly way more powerful than the Typhlosion and he could have held back and it would still have ended in one hit but Dhrago''s Hitmonlee didn''t hold back even one bit. Julian ''No wonder, the gym leader''s pokemon were hospitalized, this guy likes to boss around'' He thought and smirked. Chapter 914 - Second Day Of Preliminary Tanisha is very worried right now as her Typhlosion is very badly hurt with some internal injuries, she sent it back to its Pokeball, she then looked at Dhrago angrily but she couldn''t do anything about it as well. She made her way out of the battlefield without saying anything. ?? Dhrago also leftughing after another impactful victory, and he won''t stop, he wanted to show the world that he will be the one to destroy Julian, he still remembers what happened when he was in Sinnoh, his superior died and the person who killed him is now in a mental asylum. And he believes that it had something to do with Julian, he remembered an incident about an intruder on the ind and how the guards couldn''t stop him, they also talked about this intruder having a ck Garchomp and the only person that he has ever seen owning a ck Garchomp is Julian. Soon after Julian''s little visit to the underworld''sir in Sinnoh, it got stormed by the league soon after and many people were brought back to Sinnoh and the underworld had to abandon that ind, that ind was quite a big loss for the underworld and now they are not able to take it back because the league has taken over. Dhrago couldn''t ept the defeat he received that day, he was forced to abandon the ind by some nobodies who couldn''t even put a scratch on him if they had note in thousands. From that day he believes that Julian was behind the whole incident and he wanted to take revenge and when he heard about Julian''s challenge, he decided to take revenge on Julian in front of the whole world and kill his pokemons in the process. Make Julian regret ever messing with the Underworld in the first ce, he wanted to teach Julian that no matter how strong someone is, they can never ignore the underworld''s existence and mess with them. Dhrago was risking it big this time, if the league finds out about his true identity then he might get stormed but he had things worked out for him, his history was clean in public records and it showed no connection between him and the underworld. ________________________ The preliminary continued forward with Julian visiting other stadiums to check out the other big battles that were going to take ce, and Julian is impressed by the trainers that are participating in this league, just as he had expected, this year''s league was much harder than any other league. Trainers who would usually make it to the top 16 before are now getting eliminated in the preliminaries and this made many of them nervous, Julian watched Glen battle and saw some new pokemons that belong to the Gr region, and he wondered about going there. And about Glen''s battle, he ended it big, his Sirfetch''d used a move Julian had never seen before called Meteor Assault, Julian was really surprised by seeing it, the power behind it was devastating, it was clearly as powerful as a Giga Impact but a fighting type move. Julian ''I need to get one of those'' He thought as he looked at the Sirfetch''d. Glen''s battle ended and Julian waited for Yesh''s to begin, he was thest trainer Julian wanted to check out and see how much he has improved during the time he was not around. He didn''t have to wait much longer as the battle started soon after Glen''s battle, the announcer started to hype up the audience for the next battle and the audience didn''t disappoint him with their reactions because they know another big battle ising. People are eager to see Yesh battle again, he is clearly one of the favorites to win the league, people even believe that he will be the one who finally takes down one of Julian''s pokemon, there were already fan clubs for Yesh after people got exposed to his unusual style of battle and personality. Since he was one of the big yers, those media channel couldn''t help themselves but interview Yesh and they found his way of talking very unusual but effective, this also made his very famous. The announcer first introduced his opponent, Julian looked into this opponent and wasn''t much interested, this opponent is from Unova but his record is not that great, he has one loss and that doesn''t put a good impression on him but at the end of the day, its a pokemon battle and sometimes things can happen when people don''t expect them. There is always that little hope of winning against a strong opponent unless their opponent is Julian who is known to make no mistake on the battlefield. That is also why Yesh is one of the favorites, his battle style also seems almost perfect with no mistakes and he also seems to adapt to the battle very easily just like Julian, peoplepared him to Julian, saying that one day he will surpass Julian when he grows up because he is already so good at such young age. _______________________ As Yesh''s opponent walked in only a few people cheered while most of the sound came from people discussing with each other about the uing battle. The announcer then moved on and started to introduce Yesh and the crowd started to get louder and his name echoed all over the stadium. Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t think Yesh would have so many fans, well since this is such a big stage and so many eyes are watching this league, it was very clear that strong trainers like Yesh would definitely gain a lot of poprity. Julian smiled and waited for Yesh to make his entrance. Chapter 915 - Yesh Vs Random Opponent After the announcer introduced Yesh, he walked out from the entrance as the crowd watched and cheered for him, he looked around and saw the number of people cheering him, he looked at them for a second beforepletely ignoring them as if they didn''t exist at all. He didn''t give a shit about these people cheering his name, his only focus was battling right now, he didn''t care about fame or fans, he just wanted to improve and be a better trainer, even Julian doesn''t know his motive behind his obsession over bing the strongest trainer but Julian never bothered to ask. ?? If Yesh wanted he would have said something about it a long time ago but he didn''t. Yesh then made his way to the battlefield and took his position on the battlefield and looked at his opponent who seems very annoyed by Yesh, his opponent saw how wild the crowd was going for him but seeing Yesh not react at all pissed him off. He was jealous of Yesh. What he would do to get fame and support like this, but seeing Yesh think of it as nothing pissed off his opponent. "You are a cocky little one, aren''t ya?" The opponent asked. Yesh "Huh?" Yesh said while looking at his opponent confused about what he is saying. "Don''t act dumb, I hate people like you, you think you are above others just because you are talented and the world revolves around you, you think everyone is below you, but today I am gonna teach you that the world doesn''t work like that?" The opponent said. Yesh "Huh?" Yesh asked again totally confused by why his opponent is bbering shit, he tried to think if he has met this person before and if he offended him before but he couldn''t find this man anywhere in his memory, he then wondered why this person is so pissed at him. Yesh "What are you on about?" "I see, you want to keep acting dumb, enough talking then, I will take you down, get ready" He said and took out a Pokeball. Yesh "Ok" He said and looked at the referee, the referee then started to exin the rules of the battle and asked both of them to choose their pokemon. The opponent waited for Yesh to make his choice first while awkwardly holding onto his Pokeball, Yesh didn''t say anything and sent out his Toxicroak, seeing Yesh''s choice his opponent paused for a second and quickly tried to switch his Pokeball and stumbled while doing so. He looked like an idiot while doing so and the crowd started tough at him, he was very confident when he took out his Pokeball first but then had to change it after seeing Yesh''s pokemon, he clearly made a fool out of himself. He was embarrassed but it didn''t matter right now, he then sent out a Beheeyem on the battlefield, a Psychic-type pokemon and a very good choice against a Toxicroak who is four times weak to psychic type moves. Yesh doesn''t seem to be bothered as he has already started to calcte all the possible moves that this Beheeyem could learn and then see if his Toxicroak is equipped with moves able to counter this Beheeyem and it only takes him a few seconds. Before the referee could even start the battle, as soon as Yesh was done, the signal to start the battle was given and Yesh wanted his Toxicroak tond the first move as he didn''t want to be a sitting duck in a disadvantageous type fight. But he is not calling out his move first, he is waiting for his opponent to make his move. And his wait was over as his opponent called out Psybeam. Yesh "Sucker Punch" Before the Beheeyem could even charge up the Psybeam, Toxicroak moved very fast, using Sucker Punch, while using Sucker Punch, the pokemon gets a massive boost in speed and can easily outspeed any of its opponents. Toxicroak left an afterimage behind and the next thing everyone saw was Toxicroak punching the face of Beheeyem causing it to spin in the air as it shot the Psybeam up in the air. This all happened under a millisecond, Toxicroak punched Beheeyem on the face and moved out of the way and Beheeyem shot its Psybeam but it had already started to spin causing the Psybeam to be aimed up in the sky. Beheeyem spun in the same ce multiple times before crashing into the ground and cause dust to rise up. Everyone became silent waiting in anticipation and when the dust was clear, everyone could see that Beheeyem was knocked out cold by Toxicroak, Sucker Punch being a dark type move was super effect against Beheeyem which is a psychic type pokemon. The crowd once again burst into a massive cheer while Yesh just looked at his Toxicroak and nodded, he had anticipated a long distance special attack from his opponent from the very beginning, it was easy to anticipate because it''s the most logical move to make when the user has a powerful special attacker like Beheeyem. Anticipating this, Yesh was ready to call out a Sucker Punch, he didn''t call it out first because there is always a slim chance that his calctions can go wrong and the opponent might choose to use something different and he would need to adapt to the circumstance very fast. Referee "Beheeyem is unable to battle Toxicroak wins" The referee called out the result while Yesh''s opponent was looking at his Beheeyem with his mouth wide open, he then looked at Yesh''s Toxicroak who was just squatting there with his arms over his knees and blowing his bubble sack as if nothing happened. Toxicroak looked just like Yesh right now, carefree and not concerned about anything in the world. Chapter 916 - Qualifiers Yesh''s victory was clear as a day, Julian, on the other hand, was just a little disappointed that the battle didn''tst more than one move, but he is still impressed by Yesh, Julian doesn''t know if he would have done any better than what just Yesh did. Yesh sent his Toxicroak back to his Pokeball and made his way out of the stadium, Julian also didn''t stay around, he returned back to his hotel, the preliminaries were over and the qualifiers are about to start in two days. ?? Julian trained his pokemons a little and got them in perfect shape before the qualifiers, Julian was not worried about the qualifiers at all, he just wanted to see if he will be able to see any good battles. Since they won''t be just a one v one battle, he might be able to get a better read of trainers. ___________________ Soon the day of the qualifiers came, and Julian was once again battling very early, and once again his opponent was some random trainer, now Julian started to suspect that the league is making sure that Julian doesn''t face any big-name early in the league, but this was not new to him. This happened in Sinnoh league as well, he never faced strong opponents in the beginning as well, the league needs to cash in for all the things they arranged and they wanted to attract big amount of people for other battles that don''t involve Julian so they made sure that Julian doesn''t face any big names before the finals. Julian''s first battle in the qualifiers was as easy as the ones in the preliminary, he used his Excadrill and eliminated both of his opponent''s pokemon with one hits one after the other and advanced into the top 32. Just like Julian, Dhrago also did the same, he only used a single pokemon to end his battles, Yesh did the same, Ash, Glen, and Karl switched pokemons but they didn''t lose any pokemons in the process. There were also others who won easily without losing any pokemons. The day came to an end with the top 32 already selected. _______________________ The next round of the qualifiers was the same as before, Julian faced another random opponent who showed a lot of promise and his pokemon survived against Julian''s Archeops for three moves straight, his opponent had quite a buff pokemon, his opponent''s second pokemon then got destroyed with another single hit. Which meant that Julian is moving forward to the top 16. The other trainers who made it into the top 16 were Dhrago, Ash, Yesh, Glen, Karl, Virgil, Dino, Cameron, Ramone, Katharine, Russet, Antonio, Stephan, Flora, and Kelly These sixteen trainers are going to battle each other and eight of them will move on to the finals and battle inside the grand stadium. ________________________ Julian returned to his hotel room and waited for the third round of the qualifiers to begin, night fell and a new day started meaning the final round of the qualifiers is up and people are excited. Julian woke up and looked at the league''s website to see who his opponent is today and noticed that it was someone named Cameron, he remembered Cameron as he saw his battles and he was quite good, but he is stillcking behind the other trainers that are battling in the league. He also noticed someone hepletely forgot about when he checked who Dhrago is facing, its a girl named Kelly, he remember meeting her in the battle institute, the girl who imed that she would have won the Johto league if her pokemon had not slipped and fallen because of a pebble. He hadn''t noticed her before because he didn''t see her battles at all and he was focused on only a few trainers in the league, now that the number has been cut down to only sixteen, he couldn''t miss her. He had battled her once, and she proved herself to be a very strong opponent, this got him excited because she might be able to push Dhrago into a corner and make him battle her for real. Julian had battled her Dragonair and if she has evolved it into a Dragonite, this battle between her and Dhrago might be an interesting one. __________________________ Julian headed towards the south stadium as this is where he will be battling Cameron, from what he has seen Cameron won''t be able to do much against him, he also wants to end this battle soon so that he can watch the battle between Dhrago and Kelly. He walked into the waiting room and waited for his turn toe, he will be going in second so he has to wait for the first battle to end which seems to be between, Virgil and Russet. Julian has been watching Virgin for quite a while now because his team is very strong and an interesting one because he only uses Eeveelutions in his team. He watched a Russet from his waiting room making his way to the battlefield, he then watched Virgil making an entrance to the battlefield as well on the tv. The battle started and itsted for a while, since this is a three on three pokemon battle, it ran longer, Virgil came out victorious out of it and is now in the finals. Julian''s wait was also over because his name was called, seeing that he is up next he got up from the couch and headed towards the battlefield to face his next opponent, Cameron. Chapter 917 - To The Final Rounds Julian walked into the battlefield and was greeted by his fans louder than ever, he waved at them and took his position on the battlefield, and waited for his opponent to arrive, Cameron soon entered the battlefield and took his position. The referee soon started the battle without much wait, Julian sent out his Volcarona and waited for Cameron to choose his pokemon, Cameron sent out a Samurott on the battlefield. ?? A good choice to battle against a fire type like Volcarona but this won''t matter on the battlefield, as soon as the referee gave the call to start. Cameron started to battle by sting a Hydro Pump at Volcarona but Volcarona dodged it and then used Signal Beam, Samurott moved out of the way as it dodged the Signal Beam but Volcarona charged at Samurott using re Blitz and crashed into Samurott and sent it flying backward. And then finished it off with a powerful methrower ending the first round, Cameron sighed expecting this to happen. Too bad he couldn''tst long as the same fate urred to his other two pokemons as well, his Swanna got one shot, he then sent out his Lucario which did a lot better job and keeping away from Volcarona with its swiftness but soon it got hit by a massive Fire st and got knocked out. And just like that Julian entered the top 8, the finals. The crowd cheered in Julian''s victory and bid him farewell as he made his way out of the battlefield, he then made his way towards the north stadium where the other battles are taking ce, he still wants to see the battle between Kelly and Dhrago. Julian got there right on time because the battle between Yesh and Ramone just ended, Yesh, of course, winning and advancing forward to the final round as well. Julian got himself a private room and waited for the battle to start. And from what he could see, people were excited about it as this one is a big battle, two very strong trainers are about to sh on this battlefield so how could they not be excited. Even Julian is excited. The announcer soon started to hype up the crowd and introduce the first trainer, Kelly has proven herself to be a very formidable trainer, she has not lost a single pokemon this whole league which only a few have done and her opponent is one of them. Kelly walked in waving at the crowd as they cheered for her, she looked around enjoying the cheers she is getting from them, she then took her ce on the battlefield and took a deep breath trying to relieve her nervousness. She knows that this battle for hers will be the hardest one she will ever fight beforeing across Julian, she has seen how powerful Dhrago is and how destructive his pokemons are in nature, if she makes a single mistake her pokemons might get seriously hurt. The announcer then introduced Dhrago, he has earned a reputation of being one of the strongest trainers to ever step foot in a league just like Julian, and his ways of battle brought him a lot of fame, as well as a lot of critic from people all over the world, but Dhrago didn''t care about it. He walked into the battlefield with a grin on his face as his eyes looked at Kelly as he anticipates some resistance from this opponent of his. Dhrago also took his position on the battlefield and looked at the referee and told him to start the battle. The referee nervously nodded as he looked at the fierce eyes of Dhrago, this man could intimidate anyone, the referee then started to exin the rules of the battle, he then asked both of them to choose their pokemons. Dhragoughed and sent out his pokemon first, he didn''t care if he was at a disadvantage, he was confident in brutalizing his opponent, he sent out his Hitmonlee again, during this whole league, he never used any other pokemon other than Hitmonlee and it has shown how powerful it really it. Kelly looks at Hitmonlee and takes a deep breath, this pokemon has been putting fear in every other trainer that was about to battle Dhrago. She then makes her choice and sends out her kazam, her kazam takes the battlefield and stares at the Hitmonlee who is kicking randomly in the air but its every kick seems to be generating a lot of power, each kick is shaking the air trembling around its legs. Now that both trainers have chosen their pokemon, the referee starts the battle. Kelly made the move first as there is no way she is allowing Dhrago to make a move and put himself in an advantageous position. Kelly "Use Future Sight" Kelly made sure that she gets a good powerful hit on Hitmonlee and decided to set up a Future Sight. Dhrago "Use Double Kick" Hitmonlee charged at kazam and tried to kick kazam with a dropkick, using both of its feet at the same time but before it could even touch kazam, kazam teleported away from its spot and appeared on the other end of the battlefield. Hitmonlee fell on the ground but quickly spun its legs and got back to its feet under a second. Kelly "Use Psyshock" kazam sted a beam of psychic energy which has the properties of electricity, it zapped through the air and tried to hit Hitmonlee but it easily moved out of the way, its strong legs made it very fast. The only way to defeat this Hitmonlee is to take out its legs and make them useless on the battlefield. Chapter 918 - Kelly Vs Dhrago Kelly soon found herself struggling against Dhrago, her kazam tried tond hits, but the Hitmonlee was too agile, she knew that this cannot continue for long and she needs to get a little closer to deliver a much faster and harder hit. Kelly "Use Teleport and then Psybeam" ?? Her kazam teleported from its spot and appeared right behind Hitmonlee and tried to st a powerful Psybeam but Dhrago was ready for that and so was his Hitmonlee. Dhrago "Now, Aura Sphere" Hitmonlee suddenly turned around while creating a ball made out of Aura and shot it straight at kazam''s Psybeam, as the two moves collided, it created an explosion and blocked everyone''s vision but this was just a cover for Dhrago to attack. Dhrago "Now, High Jump Kick" Hitmonlee used its powerful legs to jump up high and went through the smoke and crashed right into kazam who was caught off-guard by it, kazam crashed into the ground. Dhrago "Hahaha, Brick Break" Before kazam even got the chance to get back to its feet, Hitmonlee got on top and stomped down hard on kazam''s stomach using Brick Break, kazam''s eyes went wide as the air out of its stomach was blown out from its mouth, it soon followed up by excruciating pain. kazam rolled around on the ground in pain, trying to catch a breath. Dhrago "Finish it, Close Combat" Dhrago decided to put this to an end and called for hisst move. Kelly "kazam, get up, use Teleport" She tried to warn kazam but it was useless, it was in too much pain to process anything, as Hitmonlee was about to end it all, suddenly a pinkish purple eye appeared on top of its head and sted psychic beam straight on Hitmonlee''s head and sent it rolling on the ground. The Future Sight that she had set up came into effect just at the right time for her and her kazam, she quickly took out a Pokeball and sent her kazam back to its Pokeball to rest. Julian watched all this with a frown, Dhrago was indeed merciless, his Hitmonlee didn''t seem to hold back when making its move, every move that it performed could easily kill other pokemon but Dhrago was making sure to hold back just a little so that he doesn''t get disqualified for the death of a pokemon in a league conference. Julian could tell if someone was trained to kill and this Hitmonlee was trained to kill and it''s trying very hard not to kill. Julian ''To use such a dangerous pokemon, this Dhrago is not some random trainer, he has killed before'' He thought while trying to figure out where Dhrago is from and what is his intention to participate in the league, from what Julian knows, these types of trainers make sure to stay out of the public eye. Julian ''It''s this idiot a little too confident,e _____________________ Kelly gritted her teeth and looked at Dhrago in anger, if she had not made a move on time, her kazam would have been hospitalized for permanent. She then took out another Pokeball and sent out her next pokemon, a Noctowl, another good choice but does it even matter. Her kazam was a great choice but it couldn''t do anything against Hitmonlee, so what does this Noctowl can do. Kelly "Noctowl, use Wing Attack" Noctowl charged down with its wings spread, glowing with energy. Dhrago "Hahaha, foolish" Dhragoughed seeing Kelly''s choice. Dhrago "Use Counter" Hitmonlee waited for Noctowl to get closer but Kelly had something else in her mind, as soon as Noctowl got close, Kelly made her move. Kelly "Now, use Hypnosis" Noctowl suddenly sted a wave of psychic, they were slow in speed but since Noctowl was so close, Hitmonlee couldn''t dodge it, it got hit by the psychic wave and put under Hypnosis, it started to feel light-headed and fell asleep on the ground. Dhrago "What?" He eximed in shock. Kelly "Hmph, you think that I will go down so easily, you were just too overconfident" She said and went for the finishing blow. Kelly "Use Hurricane" Noctowl started to p its wings and a powerful tornado rose up, it grew massive in size within seconds and swept of Hitmonlee, spinning it inside bashing it everywhere, as the tornado disappeared, Hitmonlee was revealed. On the ground knocked out cold, Kelly got the first knock out of this battle, everyone was surprised by this, the crowd went silent as they didn''t expect Dhrago to lose like this but it didn''t matter, they soon started to cheer for Kelly. She suddenly became an unexpected rising dark horse by taking out Dhrago''s Hitmonlee. Dhrago, on the other hand, looked at his Hitmonlee with a serious expression, and then suddenly a smile crept onto his face and he started tough. Dhrago "Hahahaha, I didn''t expect that, I should have been a little more serious with you, I think I have yed enough." He said and suddenly went quiet and sent the Hitmonlee back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon. Chapter 919 - Kelly Vs Dhrago (2) Julian saw what just happened and wondered why Dhrago would make such a stupid mistake but he then saw Dhragough at his loss and Julian finally realized that Dhrago is a madman. He is treating this as a game and nothing else, this caused Julian to be angrier, hurting pokemon in such a brutal manner just for his little games, it sickened Julian. ?? Referee "Hitmonlee is unable to battle, Noctowl wins" The referee called out the first result Dhrago stoppedughing and took out another Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon, a Medicham. The Medichamnded on the battlefield and looked at the Noctowl with its cold eyes, this one was very different from the Hitmonlee, the Hitmonlee looked tough but this Medicham has a very different aura, menacing and cold in nature. Dhrago "Come on little girl, show me what you got, hehahaha" He taunted Kelly into making her move. Kelly gritted her teeth and called out a Sky Attack, one of the most powerful Flying-type moves, Noctowl flew high up in the sky and then came shooting down towards Medicham. Dhrago "Hehe, nice but do you think this will work?" He asked and looked straight into Kelly''s eyes, Kelly froze for a second as she felt danger, this Dhrago was clearly not simple but she was not backing down now, she has an edge over him and she is not going to lose it. Kelly "Full power" Noctowl increased his descending speed as the energy around it expanded. Dhrago waited for a while before he thought that it was the right time to make his move, as Noctowl got closer, Dhrago made his move. Dhrago "High Jump Kick" Kelly "Ha, you fell for it again, now Hypnos..." Before she could finish her word, she froze as she saw the Medicham''s knee smashing into Noctowl''s face, she was shocked, she didn''t even see what happened. Noctowl was then sent flying up in the air, it reached very high in the air and then came crashing on the ground, Kelly was shocked, she looked at Noctowl and noticed that there was a crack on its beak. Julian was also surprised, others couldn''t see it but he could, the speed that Medicham moved was incredibly fast, he didn''t think he would ever see a pokemon as fast as that Medicham other than his pokemons who are focused on speed. The most interesting thing about this Medicham was that it''s fast, Medicham''s are not known for their speed so seeing this one move so fast was really surprising, Julian wondered how Dhrago trainer this one. Referee "Noctowl is unable to battle, Medicham wins" The referee called for another result. Kelly "NOCTOWL" She shouted and rushed towards Noctowl and carried it up to check it, she sighed as it was just knocked out but the crack on its beak was very concerning and it seems like it is suffering from a very deep concussion. She gritted her teeth in anger and sent Noctowl back to its Pokeball, she then headed back to her position and looked at Dhrago very angrily, and sent out her third pokemon Donphan. The Donphannded on the battlefield and rubbed its feet on the ground. Kelly "Get ready to destroy, use Giga Impact" Kelly is angry right now and she could only see red, she sent her strongest pokemon and made it use its strongest move. Dhrago "Hahaha, do you think that will work? Use Dynamic Punch" As Donphan went charging into Medicham, Medicham jumped and straight at Donphan and used Dynamic Punch, just like before, nobody could see Medicham''s movement, the only thing they saw is Medicham appearing right in front of Donphan with a glowing right hand and punching right into the Giga Impact. A blinding light broke out which followed by a massive explosion, Medicham flipped out of the smokended on the ground with no effort, on top of that there doesn''t seem to be even a single scratch on it. As the smoke cleared up, Donphan could be seen on the ground knocked out with a dent on its head, another massive injury. Kelly "DONPHAN" She rushed towards Donphan and looked at its head, the dent on its head looks very serious, another one of her pokemon is now put in a deep confused state. Referee "Donphan is unable to battle, Medicham wins" He called out the result. Things didn''t look good for Kelly, two of her pokemons are seriously injured and he cannot afford another big injury, herst pokemon, kazam has already suffered through enough pain, she looks at Dhrago angrily before looking at Referee Kelly "I forfeit" She says. Referee "Are you sure?" Kelly "Yes" Referee "Trainer Kelly has forfeited the battle, hence the winner of this battle is Dhrago." The referee announced the final result, some people booed while others cheered, some didn''t like how Dhrago battled while others loved the way he battled, from far away they couldn''t see the damage he did to those pokemons, they just seemed to have been knocked out, they just liked his aggressive and brutal battle style. Julian frowned as he saw another pokemon of Kelly''s got hurt bad, he was also d that Kelly forfeited the battle, her kazam is in no shape to battle that Medicham. Julian frowned, he has seen enough of Dhrago and understands how to deal with this nuisance. Chapter 920 - The Top Eight The qualifiers finally came to an end and the top eight were ready to face each other inside the grand stadium. The top eight are Julian, Dhrago, Yesh, Ash, Glen, Karl, Dino, and Virgil, these eight have proven themselves to be the best of the best in this year''s Unova league. ?? Seeing the finalists of this year''s Unova league people were not surprised but they are very excited, these are the big hitters, and when they battle everyone knows that it will be a st. The league also didn''t waste any time announcing the battles that will take ce in the quarter-finals of the final rounds. Julian will be facing Glen. Ash will be facing Virgil. Yesh will be facing Karl. Dhrago will be facing Dino Seeing the match up people are hyped and people from all over the world are already specting on who will be the winner of this year''s league, majority of them still vote for Julian and the favorite to win the league because people have too much confidence in him and they should have. He is the only trainer that has proved time and time again that no one can defeat him, he has gone through three regions, participated in three leagues, and won every one of them, and now this is his fourth one and people believe that he will do it again. There are also others who think otherwise, they think that the reign of Julian will finallye to an end in the hands of one of these trainers who are still going strong like Yesh, Glen, and Karl. These three are the only trainers who have not lost a single pokemon in a battle up till now just like Julian. ording to the stats on the inte, people believe that Dhrago and Yesh have the highest chance of defeating Julian than any other trainer in the top eight, followed by Glen and Karl, then Ash, then Dino, and Virgil. But at the end of the day these are just spections and people know that anything can happen, but people still like to specte and bet because the money thates with it is very attractive in amount. _________________________ There are still two days left before the quarter-finals start and Julian has a lot of time for himself, with all this free time he decided to go and give someone a visit. He headed out of the hotel and headed towards the pokemon center, when he got there he could see a lot of trainer going in anding out. Since the pokemons battle so hard they need all the help they can get to be fully recovered. He entered the pokemon center and started looking for the person he came to meet, he soon found her sitting at the corner with a very concerned look on her face. Julian ''There she is'' He thought and walked towards her. Julian "Kelly?" He asked. Kelly who was sitting there worried lifted her head and looked at the tall man standing in front of her, at first she was nk as her thoughts were upied by her pokemons, then she realized that the person standing in front of her is none other than Julian. She quickly got up and looked at him in surprise. Kelly "Mr. Julian?" She asked shocked, she couldn''t believe Julian is standing right in front of her. Kelly "How do you know my name? Oh silly me, you must have seen me battle" She said and sat down again with sadness written all over her face. Julian "I did see you battle, you were quite good...." He said and paused for a second. Julian "How are your pokemons?" He asked. Kelly "All of them are seriously hurt and have a severe concussion, kazam has recovered but he is still in pain, Noctowl and Donphan''s conditions are a little worse, both of them have skull fractures and it will take more than a month for them to healpletely" She said. Julian "I see" He didn''t expect this at all, he knew that they would be hurt, but skull fracture was something he didn''t expect, the severity of a skull fracture can be low or very high. But from what Kelly said her pokemons life are not in danger, they will just have to rest a lot and take medicine. Kelly suddenly started to cry as she felt really bad, Kelly "I should have stopped and shouldn''t have continued, its all my fault that they are hurt" She started to me herself. Julian "No need to me yourself, I saw you battle, it''s your opponent''s fault, he could have held back" He said andforted her. Julian stayed with her for a while and decided to leave but Kelly suddenly stopped him Kelly "Mr. Julian" Julian "What is it?" Kelly "Kick his butt" Julian "I sure will, don''t worry" Kelly "And please be careful" Julian "You don''t need to worry about me, you should pray for Dhrago''s well being" He said and left. Luckily all of Kelly''s pokemon are fine and the skull fractures are not severe, if they were severe, they would have very little chance of surviving. Julian decided to take very good care of Dhrago, now he really didn''t care about Dhrago and where he came from, he just wanted to beat the shit out of him. Chapter 921 - Quarterfinals During the two days'' rest that the trainers got to get ready for their big battle, Julian spent most of his timezing around, the only thing he did close to training his pokemons is making them exercise to warm up their muscles and nothing else. The two days of waiting were just gone like that and the final rounds started, the first battle of the quarterfinals is between Ash and Virgil. ?? The quarterfinals started with a big firework disy, the burning Moltres me on top of the ground stadium looked magnificent, the crowd was big, every seat in the grand stadium is upied by people and there are still more who are standing on their feet to watch the battle. The announcer along with many special guests was introduced before the first battle finally began. The announcer hyped up the crowd and then introduced the first trainer, Virgil, throughout this league, Virgil has proven himself to be a really good trainer, and his team fully made of eeveelutions made him a unique trainer. Virgil entered the battlefield and waved at the crowd cheering for him, he was overwhelmed by the number of people present here in the grand stadium, he knew it was big but he didn''t know it was this big. He took his position on the battlefield and took a deep breath waiting for his opponent to arrive, he has studied Ash for a while now and he knows how hard of a battle this is really gonna be for him, he knows that Ash is one of the most experienced trainers to ever step foot in the Unova League, Ash has been part of four leagues and he has been part of the final rounds three times and two of them were against Julian in the finals where he lost both the time. The announcer then moved on and introduced Ash as the next trainer, the crowd were excited to see him as well, they know he is one of the strongest trainers but they didn''t have confidence in him winning this league because he has already lost twice to Julian and the audience doesn''t think he will do any better the third time. But they still liked to see him battle because some of the biggest battles in the league had Ash as its participant. Ash soon made his way into the battlefield with his Pikachu on his shoulder waving at the crowd, Ash excitedly took his position on the battlefield and looked at Virgil with a serious expression on his face. He believed that Virgil is a tough opponent and he needs to give it his all to advance forward. The referee started the battle after exining the rules of the battle asking both trainers to choose their pokemon. This being a full-on six-on-six pokemon battle had the crowd pretty excited. The referee soon started the battle with Ash staring with his Pikachu and Virgil starting with Leafeon, Leafeon being a grass type is resistant to electric type attacks so he has an early advantage against Ash. The battle started but soon things started to go bad for Virgil as he realized that this Pikachu was very strong, even its electric type attacks caused more damage than normal, his Leafeon is slower, weaker, and not so agilepared to the electric mouse. Soon things came to an end as Pikachunded a powerful Iron Tail and ended it all, Virgil''s first pokemon is down. The battle continued for a little longer and Ash''s Pikachu was able to take out one more of Virgil''s pokemon before he was called back, the battle continued forward. Ash didn''t lose any pokemon in the process but he used four pokemons on the battlefield, he even brought back his Charizard which helped him finish Virgil''sst pokemon. Ash moved on to the semifinals once again, people cheered for his victory and wondered if this might be the one for Ash, where he finally wins the league. ______________________ After an hour break, the second battle started and it was between Karl and Yesh. This was a very good battle as well, Karl did his best to keep up but Yesh always seems to be ahead of him all the time, Karl even got close to knocking out one of Yesh''s pokemon, but Yesh made sure that won''t happen and switched his pokemon and sent in a new one. After a thrilling battle, Yesh advanced to the semifinals along with Ash ______________________ Another break and the third battle of the day started and it was between Dhrago and Dino. Just like every battle Dhrago has been a part of, this one was destructive as well, his opponent Dino was no easy opponent, even his battle style seemed bold and aggressive, Dhrago and Dino exchanged a lot of moves but Dhrago always came out on top. He was even able to deal near-lethal blows to Dino''s pokemon and injuring them very badly, after seeing three of his pokemons hurt so badly, Dino had no choice but to forfeit the battle, he couldn''t see another one of his pokemon getting hurt. Dhrago justughed watching this and he advanced to the semifinals along with Ash and Yesh. ______________________ Another hour passed and it was finally the time everyone was waiting for, it was time for Julian to battle against Glen and people are excited to see it. Chapter 922 - Last Battle Of The Quarterfinals Glen Vs Julian is the big match everyone is waiting for, one is a fresh face who has proven himself to be a worthy opponent while the other is an old face who has dominated the battlefield like no other. People''s faith in Glen winning this battle is very low but some do still believe it, while on the other hand, Julian''s fans are being Julian fans, they are shitting on Glen''s credibility to win this battle and they also made sure to tell every person who supports Glen that they are a retard and they should eat shit and drink piss. ?? This happened all over the inte from morning till now, now everything stopped because it was time for the battle. The announcer got inside his room and weed everyone and hyped them up for the battle that is about to take ce, the crowd is restless and they are singing songs about Julian, yes his fans have a special song just dedicated to him. The song echoed throughout the grand stadium and they waited for the participants to arrive, the announcer didn''t waste any time and introduced the first challenger. Announcer "All the way from Gr, this trainer has dominated the battlefield every time he stepped on it, his opponents never stood a chance against him, the speed and power that his pokemons have disyed have impressed everyone. And now he is up against his greatest challenge, can Glen ovee the mountain that stands in front of him, will the power and speed that his pokemon possess will be able to ovee this mountain that nobody ever ovee?" Glen walked in and the crowd cheered for him, with a crowd of over 200000, even though the cheer wasing from a smaller audience it sounded loud to him. Glen was not bothered by the few cheers and more boos, he was here to battle and defeat Julian, not to show himself and entertain thousands of people. Glen has a big smile on his face, he has been waiting for this moment for quite a while now, he met Julian before and asked for a battle but he never could, he believed that Julian didn''t want to battle him because he was scared but now, it''s different, he knows that Julian cannot run away from him and this will be his time to shine and show the world that he is a better trainer than Julian. He also wants the title of the undefeated, which only two people had in the whole world, the first one is Leon, the champion of Gr, and second in none other than Julian. Glen had nned to challenge Leon when he was in Gr but when he heard Julian''s challenge to the world, he decided to take down Julian first, then go for Leon, his dream is to be the strongest trainer like every other trainer, but Glen wants to take it beyond than just being the strongest, he wants to take down the strongest ones that people have crowned. He wants to travel the world and find the strongest and defeat them so he can finally im that he is the strongest, he doesn''t want to be crowned by the people, he wants to crown himself by proving to himself. And who is a better target than Julian, he is the crowned strongest trainer in the world by the people and Glen wants to prove them wrong, even Julian hasn''t imed that he is the strongest so Glen is bothered by this. Now he waits as the announcer continues to hype up the next opponent. Announcer "Our next contender doesn''t need any introduction but I will do it anyway, he is the greatest trainer that has ever entered the league, he has never faced a single defeat in his whole career, he has conquered everyone that ever stood across him, he is also the winner of three different leagues making him the only person to do so. He is also the greatest champion to ever be crowned in Kanto (for controversial reasons he cannot say the world), it''s none other than Juliaaannnnnn" He made a big deal out of Julian as he introduced him but Julian does deserve it, Julian then walked out of the entrance into the stadium. He could hear his name being shouted throughout the whole stadium, two hundred thousand people cheering for him and it was thunderous. People watching this through their television felt goosebumps running down their body, this was the grandest wee anyone could ever receive. Even Julian is surprised by this, this is the biggest stadium he has ever battled in, and seeing two hundred thousand people cheering for him, they came here just to see him battle, their energy made Julian feel more excited about this battle than he was before. He waved at the crowd and took his position on the battlefield, he then looked at his opponent, Glen, he could see the smug smile and confident smile on his face. Julian could tell that Glen is very excited about this battle, he avoided Glen in the past but now Glen will have his wishe true. Glen "I have been waiting for this moment for quite a while now, you will not get away from me this time" He said with his arms crossed. Julian "I didn''t battle you before because I didn''t want to shatter your confidence before you even reach the league, you can think of our past interaction as a favor I did for you" Julian said and smiled. Chapter 923 - Julian Vs Glen (1) Both Julian and Glen are ready to battle and they are only waiting for the referee to make his call, seeing that both trainers are ready, the referee started the battle by first exining the rules of the battle. Referee "This battle is a six vs six pokemon battle, both trainers are allowed to switch pokemon during the battle, the trainer with no pokemon at the end of the battle loses, am I clear?" ?? Once the referee got a nod from both trainers, he asked them to choose their pokemon. Julian decided to do another favor and sent out his pokemon first, he sent out his Golurk as his first pokemon, this is Golurk''s first time entering a battle in the league and he will be facing one of the big names. Julian''s Golurk is massive in size, standing at the height of 3.2 meters tall,pared to a normal Golurk he is 0.4 meters tall and he is still not fully grown, Julian estimates him to stop ground at 3.5 meters tall. Seeing Julian''s massive pokemon standing in front of him, Glen got excited and sent out a flying ice-type pokemon which Julian is seeing for the first time in his life. Glen "Let''s go, Frosmoth" He sent out his Frosmoth, Julian looked at this flying ice pokemon and was surprised by how beautiful this pokemon looks, he could see snowkes falling out its wings as they sparked under the sunlight. He heard Glen calling it Frosmoth, he remembered seeing this pokemon on the inte but he has no idea about its moves and abilities, but he still has a rough idea, he is expecting a lot of ice and bug type moves and maybe some flying type moves, and if it is a bug type pokemon, it might also know one or two grass type moves. Frosmoth is indeed a great choice against Golurk but from what Julian can see and understand, this Frosmoth won''t be able to survive even one hit from his Golurk, and with his Golurk having No Guard as an ability, he can easily smash through any barriers that will be put in front of him. Julian now already has a very rough idea of how this battle wille to be but he needs this battle to start before he can finally see through it. Seeing that both of them have chosen their pokemon, the referee didn''t wait any longer and waved off his gs starting the battle. Glen made the move first, having a big slow pokemon as an opponent was a big advantage to Glen and his pokemon, Frosmoth. Glen "Aurora Beam" Frosmoth shot a shining beam at Golurk which had a very cold aura. Julian "Fire Punch" Golurk pulled his hand back as fire surrounded it and punched the Aurora Beam, as his hand touched the beam, it shattered into pieces and ice went flying everywhere. Julian "Use Fire Punch" Golurk then moved towards Frosmoth and swung at it with its big massive arm, Frosmoth saw thising from a mile away and dodged it. Glen "Now Aurora Beam" As it dodged and was about to use another Aurora beam, Golurk suddenly turned around with used the back of his arm using Fire Punch. Golurk might be slow while moving forward, but using his body weight to spin a little faster was not hard for him, seeing that it couldn''t be dodged, Glen quickly called out a Protect. Glen "Use Protect" Frosmoth quickly set up a Protect and tried to protect itself but, surprise, Golurk''s arm shattered right through the Protect Barrier andnded the firey backhand p and sent Frosmoth crashing into the ground leaving being a trail of smoke. The dust cleared up and Frosmoth could be seen on the ground knocked out, since Frosmoth is four times weak to fire type moves, it has a terrible defense, and Julian''s Golurk is built like a tank, he is slow but the hits that he can dish out will one-shot any opponent. Glen was shocked by this, he then realized that Julian''s Golurk might have No Guard ability. Julian "This is your very first warning, let me tell you, this will not be a normal battle for you, don''t even think for a second that you have an advantage, don''t expect things from my pokemon, don''t expect them to behave and act like normal pokemons that you have battled before. They are my pokemons and each and every one of them is not something you canpare with normal pokemon of their species, if you are here to really defeat me, show me what you can really do or you will be just like any other opponent, who came and did knowing but y into my trap and lost miserably" He told to Glen with a smile on his face. Glen frowned, he realized that the stakes are even higher than he thought, when he saw Julian battle thest time, he didn''t see anything special but he couldn''t be med, Julian didn''t train his pokemon to their fullest potential yet, but now they are at their fullest potential, they are deadlier than they ever were. Glen will have no chance against Julian if he thinks this is just a hard battle, he needs to treat this battle as a life and death situation and even then he might lose, Julian is like that hidden boss of the game which is 100 times harder to defeat than the main boss. Chapter 924 - Julian Vs Glen (2) Julian "Come on let''s not waste any time, you need to prove that you are here to battle and give it your all, not lose" Julian provoked Glen again, he really wanted to see what Glen is really made of. ?? Glen "Fine, you will regret making me go all out, today I will defeat you" He said and took out a Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon on the battlefield, a weird pokemon appeared on the battlefield, its body looked like an inverted tail with it has ahead of a fish. Glen "Let''s go Dracovish" Julian ''What kind of abomination is this?'' Julian wondered to himself as he looked at this pokemon, this was the most bizarre-looking pokemon he has ever seen in his life. Julian ''Another pokemon I have never seen before nor heard of it'' He thought and tried to figure out what type this pokemon is, he expected it to be a water-type pokemon because of its fish-like head but Julian is not sure, it also has a body that is simr to a dragon type pokemon. Julian was confused but this is not the right time to be curious about a pokemon, he needs to battle right now. Glen "Dracovish, use Fishious Rend" Dracovish suddenly charged at Golurk at extreme speed, its powerful feet propelled it towards Golurk at speeds which Golurk cannot move. Julian "Counter with Hammer Arm" Julian felt something off about this move and decided to counter with a powerful Hammer Arm, Golurk rose one of his arms high up in the air and brought it down crashing on Dracovish, as the two were about to collide, Dracovish moved to the side and crashed its head covered in glowing water into Golurk''s body. The impact was so massive that it actually lifted Golurk''s massive frame from the ground and sent him crashing into the ground hard, the ground shook as Golurk''s huge frame made contact with it, dust rose high up but they were still not able to cover Golurk''s frame. Julian was surprised by this, he felt the power behind that previous attack, at first he didn''t think much about it, it looked like a powerful water type move but he felt the power chance when Dracovish made contact with Golurk, the move''s power suddenly doubled and sent his Golurk crashing into the ground. Glen clenched his fist in excitement as he saw Julian''s Golurk going down, he got Golurk with his best move, Fishious Rend is a powerful move on its own but when the user makes contact with its opponent before any resistance from the other side, the move''s power doubles. Golurk is also a ground-type pokemon, so Glen expects it to stay down after getting hit that hard by his Dracovish, his Dracovish is one of his most powerful pokemon and the Fishious Rend is also one of the most powerful moves in his arsenal. Golurk stayed down for a few seconds and people were stunned, they thought that Golurk was out as it didn''t show any movement. They realized that this might be the time where Julian takes his very first loss but before they could cheer, they felt a slight tremor as they witnessed Golurk''s arms suddenly mmed into the ground and using it as a support to get up. Golurk sat up straight and then got back to his feet and looked at Dracovish, that attack fired Golurk''s fighting spirit. Julian was also impressed by Glen, that move took out half of Golurk''s health, if he gets hit by one of those again, he will be done for. Julian "Impressive, now the real battle starts" Julian "Golurk, use Fly" As soon as Julian gave hismand, mes started to burst out of his arms, then a massive burst of me came from his lower body andpletely covered his legs, Golurk suddenly shot to the sky while using fly, he went so high that he just became a shining dot in the sky to everyone watching. Once he reached the desired height, he looked down at his opponent and started to descend at speeds that neared the speed of sound, the air around him tried to resist him which caused his body to be hot. Seeing the iing attack, Glen quickly went on the counter, he couldn''t take this attack head-on, the speed a power that Golurk is descending and with his weight, he couldpletely crush Dracovish. Glen "Use Dragon Pulse" Glen ordered his Dracovish to use Dragon Pulse to first slow down the iing meteor of a pokemon, Dracovish sted a Dragon Pulse but its power was average at best, it was not something to get scared about. The Dragon Pulse traveled fast and hit Golurk but it didn''t seem to matter at all as the mes bursting out from his hands and lower body seems to be propelling him faster and faster. Glen "Shit" Seeing that the Dragon Pulse had no effect, Glen crushed and thought of another way to survive this. Glen "Use Protect" He said and called out for a Protect but this won''t work against Golurk because of his ability No Guard. As Golurk got closer to the stadium with speed reaching the limits of the speed of sound, Glen made his move. Glen "Now, run" As soon as Dracovish heard this, it used all the power in its legs and made a run for it, with the speed Golurk ising, there is no way he can change direction within such a short distance and time tond directly on Dracovish. Golurk finally crashed into the ground where Dracovish stood before, it was like a meteor hitting the ground, it caused a shockwave so powerful that triggered the stadium''s protection shield and blocked the shockwave from sting the audience. A massive dust mushroom rose up as if someone just detonated a bomb here, Dracovish who was running away felt the shockwave hitting its Protect which shattered instantly but it protected Dracovish from the shockwave, if it had gotten hit by that Shockwave, it would have been sent flying through the air and crashing into the walls of the grand stadium. Rocks flew everywhere as they hit everything on the battlefield, the protective barrier for the trainers and referee also kicked in and protected them from all the projectiles that are shooting through the battlefield at extreme speed. Chapter 925 - Julian VS Glen (3) Dracovish got sted by these rocks but since its defense is good, it was able to survive the onught of the flying rocks. It took them head-on with its strong head until everything stopped, the protecting barrier went down and everyone was clear except now there is a massive crater on the battlefield and inside the battlefield. ?? And right in the middle of the crater is Golurk who is getting back to his feet. Glen "Now, Fishious Rend" Dracovish shot at Golurk again full speed, a powerful but of water energy surrounded its head which looked like a very deadly jaw, Dracovish dove into the crater and charged at Golurk with even more speed. Since it is a slope, gravity helped Dracovish with its speed as it moved faster. Julian "Ice Beam" Julian saw Glen''s advance and came up with an idea, Golurk then suddenly lifted both his arms and shot two Ice Beams, not on Dracovish but around it. Golurk made two parallel lines of ice around Dracovish making sure that ites directly towards Golurk and cannot change its direction. Glen fell for Julian''s trap. If Dracovish tries to move around and steps on the ice, it will crash on the ground and injure itself inside the crater. Julian "Now, Dynamic Punch" Since the only way Dracovish cane towards him is through the front, Julian doesn''t need to worry about missing this Dynamic Punch. Golurk lifted one of his arms up in the air and suddenly it started to glow yellow as fighting energy surrounded it, then a giant arm materialized and Golurk punched forward slowly, there is no way to dodge this, going over it is not an option as it is too big, going to the side means stepping on the ice and losing bnce and crashing into the ground. Glen clenched his fist as he saw Dracovish heading straight into the punch, the two finally made contact, Fishious Rend vs Dynamic Punch. The battlefield was already in a bad state but this added more to the damage, since both of them are inside the crater, it created another crater inside the crater as the ground under then copsed. An exploding mushroom cloud rose high up in the sky, blinding everyone, soon followed by a big shockwave and trembling ground. As the smoke cleared up both pokemons could be seen inside the second crater, both of them were down but there was movement, Golurk started moving and got back to his feet again but Dracovish stayed down. Julian knew Golurk would stand up, no matter what happens, even if he is at the end of his health, he would still get up, just like now, that exchange took out everything from Golurk and he could have fainted but he didn''t, he stayed in there till the end. The referee looked at both pokemons and gave out his call. Referee "Dracovish is unable to battle, Golurk wins" Glen looked at his Dracovish and was proud of it, it was able to put Julian''s Golurk in such a state, nobody has ever done this before. Julian "I will give this one to you, my Golurk is in no shape to continue to battle" Julian said and called Golurk back to his Pokeball, there was no use in keeping Golurk out there, he would have gone down anyway. Just so that Julian said that he gives one victory to Glen, that doesn''t mean it officially counts, for a pokemon to be eliminated, it has to be knocked out and from what the referee can see, Golurk is still standing. Glen didn''t say anything and sent Dracovish back to its Pokeball and looked at Julian, he didn''t want a verbal win from Julian because, in the end, it was his pokemon that got knocked out and not Julian''s Glen "I don''t need your pity, I will take you down" Glen dered. Julian "Fine by me then" Julian said and sent out his Archeops, Glen sent out his Grapploct, the battle continued and it was a hard-fought one, Grapploct was even able to get a hold of Archeops wings but Archeops used Pluck multiple times to get out of Grapploct''s hold and dealt the fishing blow to it by using a Head Smash. Glen then sent out a massive pokemon called Copperajah and it battled with Archeops, both of them went all out, Archeops having ridiculous attack stats, while Copperajah had too much endurance. In the end, Archeops had to use another Head Smash to end the battle but it almost caused him to faint and put Archeops at his limit, by now two of Julian''s pokemon are not able to continue battling further even though they are not knocked out. Julian sent Archeops back to its Pokeball and sent out his Hydreigon and Glen sent out a pokemon called Grimmsnarl and this was a tough one, this pokemon had so much physical power that he lifted Hydreigon off his feet and mmed him into the ground. But Hydreigon prevailed after stomping down on Grimmsnarl''s chest with his hind legs and then shooting three Dark Pulse simultaneously using its three heads at Grimmsnarl''s head at point-nk range while it tried to struggle out of Hydreigon''s feet. Glen is now down to hisst pokemon and he sent it out, it''s Sirfetch''d. Chapter 926 - Julian Vs Glen (4) Glen''s Sirfetch''d have been his ace and he saved it forst, he didn''t want to exhaust his Sirfetch''d and keep him till the end to use his as ast resort, and right now he is at his final pokemon and he has to bring out hisst resort. Julian looked at the Sirfetch''d and got a little serious, he has seen this Sirfetch''d in action and it is clearly Glen''s strongest pokemon, he expected to face this little guy and he knows this will be troublesome one to take down. ?? His Hydreigon is a strong pokemon on his own and can take down many pokemon with his current state but right now he is not the best choice to battle Sirfetch''d, he is already at a type disadvantage and half his health. Julian called Hydreigon back to his Pokeball and sent out his fourth pokemon on the battlefield, he didn''t use this pokemon the whole league and this is his first time entering the battlefield. His shiny ck Haxorus entered the battlefield and roared loudly asserting his dominating character and presence, people were once again surprised by seeing Julian''s another new pokemon, and people who had ced their bet on Julian having a Haxorus was very happy as they earned a lot of money. Glen looked at the Haxorus and clenched his fist, the aura around this Haxorus was different, even his Sirfetch''d felt it, it was not because Julian''s Haxorus is the strongest of him pokemon but because of his ability called Rivalry, this ability allows Haxorus to deliver more damage to his opponents who are of the same gender and since he is a male, he will be able tond stronger hits on Glen''s Sirfetch''d who is a male as well. Julian "Let''s begin then, Haxorus, use Dragon w" Haxorus charged at Sirfetch''d using his powerful legs to build up more speed with every step he took, he extended both his arms and his ws started to glow purple and suddenly two massive ws made of energy grew over them. As he got close to Sirfetch''d he swung his left hand with an upward sh. Glen "Block and then use Leaf de" Seeing the iing attack, Glen made amand, Sirfetch''d used his leaf armor and blocked the first Dragon w, even though this shield seems to be made of leek, it was still able to block a powerful Dragon w from Haxorus. Haxorus is Julian''s strongest physical attacker in his team so taking an attack head-on like that would be a suicidal option for any other pokemon but Sirfetch''d was able to take it head-on. Sirfetch''d then swung its sword-like leek at Haxorus as it glowed green in color because of the Leaf de being in action. Haxorus saw this and used the second Dragon w which was still active to counter the Leaf de, both of them shed and created a massive boom sound that sounded like a rumble of thunder going off followed by a shockwave. Haxorus being the physically stronger one of the two was able to manage to push Sirfetch''d back but Sirfetch''d is a master fighter, while Haxorus was pushing hard on the sword-leek, Sirfetch''d used its shield and bashed it into Haxorus. Haxorus was pushed back separating both of them, Haxorus held his stomach and looked at Sirfetch''d and growled, that hurt a little, even though this Sirfetch''d is small it has a lot of power behind its hits. Julian couldn''t see that advance from Sirfetch''d because Haxorus''s body blocked his view, but now Julian knows another way Sirfetch''d can hurt his opponents. Julian "Use Iron Tail" Haxorus roared and nted his left leg on the ground and swung his whole body along with his massive tail towards Sirfetch''d using Iron Tail. His scaly tail covered in metal elements looked like a weapon of destruction which is about to destroy anything that it touches, just Haxorus swinging caused a massive shockwave. Seeing the power behind the attack Sirfetch''d quickly lifted its shield and tried to block himself. Glen "Use Iron Defense" Sirfetch''d quickly activated Iron Defense increasing his defense by a level, Haxorus''s Iron Tail finally made contact, and when it touched the shield of Sirfetch''d, it created a loud sound that defended everyone, it was simr to a metal pole falling from a great height and hitting another metal object, it was very irritating to hear. Sirfetch''d on the other hand felt his whole body vibrating and he felt immense pain in his shield arm as he had to let loose the grip on his shield, but the effects of the move were not over as Sirfetch''d was lifted off his legs and sent flying through the battlefield. Sirfetch''d used the shield to protect his body from crashing into the ground which caused him to lose his grip on the shield as his body rolled over along with his leek sword. Seeing the opening Julian didn''t wait for a second before giving amand. Julian "Now, Night sh" Haxorus charged at Sirfetch''d who is still getting back to his feet with no shield in his hand to protect himself. Haxorus used his powerful legs and moved very fast leaving behind dust rising from the ground. Glen "Counter with Leaf de" Both of them collided again, Haxorus used Night sh while Sirfetch''d used Leaf de, while Leaf de is the more powerful move, Haxorus is the stronger pokemon, with both of them collided it caused another massive shockwave along with a thunderous p of sound. Haxorus once again seems to be the oneing out on top but to his surprise, Sirfetch''d used this momentum and got behind Haxorus and lifted his shield and took a stance while pointing his sword leek at Haxorus and blocking his whole body with his shield. Haxorus turned around and looked at Sirfetch''d and showed his teeth, he then charged at Sirfetch''d again using Night sh with both his arms, Sirfetch''d used Leaf de and did the same, both of them swung their attacks at each other and blocked the other one-off. Sirfetch''d then tried to hit Haxorus with his shield but Haxorus blocked with his second Night sh, Haxorus then turned around using all his body weight and used Dragon Tail, mming his tail into Sirfetch''d shield and sent him rolling on the ground again. But Sirfetch''d got back to his feet, that short exchange was intense but still none of the two have received any severe damage, they are still trying to find a way to get past each other''s defense. Chapter 927 - Julian Vs Glen (5) Julian is surprised by how strong Glen''s Sirfetch''d really is, Glen could easily take on a champion and win against them if he really put his everything in it and be crowned a champion of the region but unlucky for him he decided to take on Julian in the Unova League. The exchange of moves between Haxorus and Sirfetch''d continued for a while now, but both of them couldn''t get an edge over the other. ?? Haxorus is having a very hard time piercing through the defense of this Sirfetch''d because its shield is as big as his body and the very little gap that can be found will get parried by Sirfetch''d''s sword leek. Sirfetch''d is also having a very hard time hitting Haxorus, as the battle continued Sirfetch''d realized that Haxorus has got the hang of his fighting style and is now predicting his movements before he can even use it, and when he tries to do something else, Haxorus is easily seeing through them because they are slow and unrefined movements. Julian "Iron Tail" This battle was long but it was also very exciting, people are on the edge of their seats because the exchanges are very cool visually, and the oues are always surprising to them. This long battle is also beneficial to Julian because his pokemons have much better endurance and stamina than other pokemons, Haxorus in particr, he could easily outlive most of Julian''s own pokemon on a battlefield if it gets dragged out till the end. But Julian decided to end it, this battle has yed long enough for him toe up with a strategy to take down Sirfetch''d Haxorus nted his left leg into the ground hard creating a footprint with cracks on the ground and swung his whole body to deliver another powerful Iron Tail at Sirfetch''d. Glen knew that he cannot keep blocking these powerful Iron Tails, it might now show on the battlefield but every time Sirfetch''d is blocking them, he is going through a lot of pain, it''s just like when someone uses a metal rod and hits a hard rock, the person who swung the metal rod will feel a lot of pain. It was not the exact thing but Sirfetch''d is going through it over and over again in this battle and if this continues his hands will give out and he might not be able to wield his shield and it will put an end to this battle. Right now Haxorus is looking tond that finishing move, he has already dealt damage to Sirfetch''d, not directly but he knows that every time Sirfetch''d blocked his Iron Tail, he caused damage and Sirfetch''d is also getting exhausted. Glen "Counterattack with Leaf de" As Haxorus''s tail was about to touch Sirfetch''d, he used his sword and parried the tail and then used its momentum to spin in the opposite direction using Leaf de andnded a very powerful strike on Haxorus''s stomach. Haxorus was sent sliding backward on his feet as he held on to his stomach tightly, this one hurt a lot, Julian was surprised as well, he didn''t expect a counterattack from Sirfetch''d but this made it more interesting. Julian "Dragon w" Haxorus ignored the pain in his stomach and charged at Sirfetch''d again while using both his hands, this time he put all his power behind it causing the ws to be bigger than before. Haxorus swung his Dragon w at Sirfetch''d and he blocked it with his shield again but Haxorus suddenly swung his tail and used Iron Tail very fast. Seeing this Glen decided to try another counterattack. Glen "Quick, counterattack with Night sh" Since Leaf de doesn''t seem to be doing much damage as Haxorus is resistant to grass type attacks, as Haxorus spun andnded the Iron Tail on Sirfetch''d, Sirfetch''d used the momentum of the attack and once again turned around as his leek sword started to glow dark in color and tried to m it into Haxorus''s stomach again but this time Julian and Haxorus are both ready. Julian "Grab it using Dragon w" Haxorus suddenly lifted his right hand up in the air and formed a Dragon w, a massive blue w formed around Haxorus''s hand, as he saw the swording towards him, he brought his Dragon w shing down towards the sword and suddenly grabbed it causing a powerful burst of energy, which soon followed by a very destructive shockwave. The power generated from these two moves colliding made the ground underneath them shatter, everyone could see the big blue Dragon w grabbing onto the dark glowing leek-sword as they radiated massive energy from them. The air around the contact point is vibrating so rapidly that it''s creating a humming sound, Sirfetch''d is trying to overpower andnd the Night sh and Haxorus is stopping him with the Dragon w. Julian "Let''s end this, m him" Haxorus listened to Julian and suddenly started to lift Sirfetch''d''s sword along with Sirfetch''d himself, Sirfetch''d was taken by surprise as his legs stopped touching the ground, he panicked and looked at Haxorus who lifted him high up in the sky, well Haxorus lifted the sword which Sirfetch''d was holding. Glen "Sirfetch''d let go of your sword" He yelled as he realized that Haxorus was about to do but Sirfetch''d didn''t listen, he had never let go of this sword no matter what happened so he couldn''t see himself letting go of the sword, he panicked and tried to move around to make it hard for Haxorus but he was not bothered by it at all. Haxorus is too powerful to get bothered by a lightweight as Sirfetch''d, he still has his Dragon w activated while the dark energy inside the leek started to fade away. Haxorus didn''t wait for any second and put all the tension in his arm and mmed Sirfetch''d to the ground through his own sword. The Dragon w also exploded dishing more damage to Sirfetch''d but Sirfetch''d didn''t let go of the sword, he held on to it even though he is out of energy. Glen "SIRFETCH''D LET GO OF IT" Glen shouted but Sirfetch''d didn''t let go. Julian "End it, Iron Tail" Haxorus didn''t let go of the sword and stared at Sirfetch''d who is hanging onto the sword with little energy, Haxorus growled low while showing his fangs and swung his tail using Iron Tail, Sirfetch''d lifted his shield and tried to block it and he did but there was no resistance. Haxorus''s tail smashed into the shield and then hit Sirfetch''d and sent him flying through the air as his grip on his sword was finally lost, Sirfetch''d crashed into the ground and got knocked out ending the battle. Referee "Sirfetch''d is unable to battle, Haxorus wins, hence the winner of this quarterfinal match is trainer Julian". Chapter 928 - Who Will Face Who? With Glen''s Sirfetch''d getting knocked out Julian headed to the top 4, the semifinals. Right now inside the battlefield, the crowd is going wild as Julian scored another big victory over Glen who showed to the world that he is one of the best trainers here in the Unova League, he managed to almost knock out two of Julian''s pokemon. ?? Glen looked at his Sirfetch''d and sighed, he is a little disappointed that his Sirfetch''d didn''t listen to him and didn''t trust him at thest minute but he could understand it, Sirfetch''d had never let go of his word and it was his everything. Haxorus let go of the leek sword and roared in his victory, his roar was thunderous causing many to cheer in excitement as well. Julian looked at Sirfetch''d and sighed as well, this battle could have gone for much longer if Sirfetch''d had let go of the sword but he didn''t he didn''t trust Glen enough to listen to him. Glen is indeed a very strong trainer and he has proved it here on the battlefield but he needs to work with his pokemon on building trust, trust strong enough that his pokemons are going to do anything they say, even if it makes them ufortable. Julian believes that Glen is a much better pokemon trainer than Ash could ever be but what Ash does better than anyone else is building trust with his pokemons, and that is why he is so sessful on the battlefield, his pokemon listen to everything he says even if it doesn''t make sense sometimes. If Glen could build this unbreakable trust between him and his pokemons, he will be in a different league, even beyond champions, just like Julian. Julian returned Haxorus back to his Pokeball and looked at Glen. Julian "You are good, you gave me a good fight, but next time make sure that your pokemons trust you and believe in you, or you will never reach the height you are aiming for" He advised and decided to walk away, Glen just watched as Julian walked out of the stadium, he then walked towards the fallen leek and picked it up before going to his Sirfetch''d who is slowly starting to get back into consciousness. Sirfetch''d woke up and looked around for his leek and Glen handed it to him, Sirfetch''d looked at Glen and was disappointed, till now Sirfetch''d have never lost a battle and this is his first loss, he regretted not listening to Glen but he couldn''t see himself letting go of his leek. Glen "We will get him next time" He said and sent Sirfetch''d back to his Pokeball walked out of the battlefield as well, the quarterfinals are finally over, the crowd also started to leave but they are still excited about the semifinals. The four names that are going to face off against each other are huge names, Julian, Dhrago, Yesh, and Ash. Everyone is excited about the semifinals and they are wondering who is going to battle who and head to the finals. _____________________ Inside a private room, Dhrago himself is sitting on a couch looking at the empty battlefield with a smile. Dhrago ''So much power, I can''t hide my excitement... I am going to enjoy myself there'' He said with a sadistic smile on his face, he was the most excited about battling Julian than anyone, he is a sadist in nature, he likes to destroy strong opponents, he likes to destroy their confidence, he likes to make them regret stepping into the battlefield. And this is why he will be the most satisfied in his life when he does this to the strongest trainer in the world ording to the people of the world. He also left the room as the sun was about to set. _______________________ Julian didn''t go directly to his hotel room, instead, he went to a pokemon spa so that his pokemons can rx by getting themselves a nice massage and relieve themselves from the stress after such a hard battle. He entered the pokemon spa and handed over his pokemons to workers there, he, on the other hand, sat down on a couch and picked up a magazine that had Chloe''s photo on the cover in a red bikini and started to read it. After some time another person walked into the spa, Julian lifted his head to look at this person, it is none other than Yesh, Julian smiled and waved at him. Yesh looked at Julian, handed over his pokemons to the worker, and sat next to Julian quietly. Julian "So who do you want to face in the semifinals?" He asked. He is curious about Yesh''s mentality during this whole league and how he feels about the currentpetition. Yesh "Anyone is fine" He answered. Julian "Are you sure? Don''t you want to face anyone in particr?" He asked. Yesh "Hm.......... Ash, I guess" He answered. Julian "Ash? Why?" Yesh "Last time I battled him, it ended in a draw, I want to see how it will y out again" Julian "How do you see it ying out?" He asked with a smile. Yesh "I don''t know, its unpredictable with him, that is why I want to battle him the most" He answered. Julian "Fair enough, what about the other trainer, Dhrago, what do you think about him?" Yesh "Dhrago? He will be a tough battle, his pokemons are also over-leveled but I think I have a 60% chance of winning against him" Julian "Then you are really confident" Julian answered. He has seen Dhrago battle and that guy is clearly overqualified for this league, just like Yesh said, his pokemons are over-leveled. Yesh "Then how do you see the battle ending between him and me?" Julian "50-50, he is indeed a stronger trainer but I think you should be able to think of something on the battlefield to counter but I don''t know if it will be enough, that is why I give you 50% chance" Yesh "I see" Yesh answered and decided to stay quiet from then on. Chapter 929 - The Semifinals Julian revived his pokemon back from the spa worker and decided to leave, he looked at Yesh who is looking at his phone with his emotionless eyes. Julian "Best of luck against whoever you are going to face next, just so that you remember, if it''s me, you will have to think of something new to defeat me" ?? Yesh lifted his head and looked at Julian for a few seconds before nodding his head. Yesh "I understand" Julian "Good, I will be leaving then" Julian bid his farewell and left the spa and headed back to his hotel room and went to rest, today was a long day and he just wants to close his eyes and clear his head. _____________________ The next morning when he woke up, he realized that his phone was buzzing continuously, he turned it on and realized that the league has just announced the matchups for the semifinals. He got a little excited and checked who he will be facing and seeing who it was put a smile on his face, it was none other than Dhrago. He will be facing Dhrago in the semifinals while Yesh and Ash will be facing off against each other again but this time they will have an audience of over 200000 people and millions in homes through their TVs. But Julian now needs to worry about his next opponent, Dhrago, the trainer who has been causing havoc all over the league. Every opponent he has faced has their confidence shatteredpletely, their pokemons badly hurt and the trainers left in sorrow. Julian ''This idiot really has done a number on every trainer he hase across along with gym leaders as well, he also seems to be using over level pokemons for this league as well, he is doing it intentionally and is loving it'' He thought while looking at every league footage he could find of Dhrago, he enjoyed causing permanent harm to pokemons and this was out of the question to Julian, he decided to deal with Dhrago a little differently than any other people. He is going to make sure that Dhrago regrets doing whatever he did in the league. Julian ''Time to train I guess'' He thought and got out of his hotel to train. The two days flew by as if it was nothing and the day of the semifinals is here, people are going crazy as the first match is Yesh Vs Ash. People are really excited about this battle as they have no idea who is going to advance to the finals, Ash has a very good record and has been in the league final twice while Yesh on the other hand has proven himself to be a very technical fighter who has not been hit even once in this whole tournament. And since this is the inte, people know that these two have battled once, the video of them battling inside a local pokemon park has been circting all over the inte and seeing that their battle ended in a draw made people even more excited. Even they wanted to know who is going to be the superior trainer among them. Julian also made his way towards the grand stadium and found himself a private room to watch the battle, he didn''t expect Yesh''s desire to battle Ash woulde true but he was excited to see who is going to win, both of them have been thought by him in the past. While he didn''t teach Ash as much as Yesh, he still passed down some basics to him. Yesh, on the other hand, learned a lot from Julian and implemented a lot of Julian''s techniques, and made a few changes to them which suited his own battling style. Julian would be lying if he said he is supporting both of them, he wants Yesh to win this battle because he would want to see his own student win and then face him in the finals, Julian believes that no one in this league can give him a harder challenge than Yesh as Yesh knows a lot about Julian''s training. But Julian wouldn''t mind Ash winning the battle again, Ash and he would then be battling for the third time at the finals of the league. Julian took his seat on his couch and waited for the battle to start, the announcer soon started to hype the audience as well, and he didn''t have to do much, just their names were enough for the crowd to go wild. Announcer "Ladies, Gentlemen and pokemons, the time hase for the first battle of the semifinals, a battle between two young trainers who have proven themselves to be the best of the best, they defeated all their opponents to make it so far to the semifinals and now they will meet each other on the battlefield and battle to decide who will be the one to main-event in the finals. On one hand, is the cheerful and bold trainer, Ash from pallet town, he is one of those trainers that never give up, he has now participated in five leagues and have been in the finals twice but unlucky for him, he has never won a single league, with both his losses being against Julian at the finals of Hoenn and Sinnoh league, but will this be the year Ash finally strikes gold and head to the finals and win it. We will soon find out. And on the other hand, its the cold and silent trainer who has impressed the world with his skills as a pokemon trainer, he is one of the dark horse that has risen through poprity within days, being one of the favorites to win the league, it''s Yesh, nicked named as the dark prince by his fans. Will he be the one who will head to the finals and win it making history again bying from an unknown background and winning the league, just like one of the other participants in the league, we will soon find out. Sodies and gentlemen, let''s not wait any more, let the battle begin". Chapter 930 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (1) With the announcer''s call, the first trainer walked in, wearing a blue and white jacket over a white t-shirt, jeans pants, and a hat on top of his head and Pikachu on his shoulder, Ash makes his way into the battlefield. The crowd goes wild as they cheer for Ash, his name echoes all over the stadium as the crowd tries to hype up Ash, Ash looks at them and waves his hand along with Pikachu, and takes his position on the battlefield taking a deep breath waiting for his opponent. ?? As soon as the crowd stopped going crazy, the second trainer walked in, wearing a purple coat, his eyes still emotionless as ever, the crowd goes wild but he doesn''t care, his eyes focused on Ash, his opponent. This will be their second time shing against each other and this time Yesh has no desire to end this with a draw or a loss, he needs to win and head to the finals, to battle Julian again but this time in the grandest stage of them all. Yesh took his position on the battlefield and looked at Ash. Ash "We meet again, but this time I will defeat you" He said while punching the air in front of him with confidence and a determined look on his face. Yesh "I predict my victory" Yesh said and looked at the referee who walked in with two gs in his hand. The referee took his position and started to exin the rules of the battlefield. Referee "This will be a six on six pokemon battle, the trainer with no pokemon able to battle at the end will lose" The referee said and looked at both trainers, once he got the ok from both of them, he asked them to send out their first pokemons on the battlefield. Ash didn''t wait around and sent out his Krookodile, Ash Krookodile entered the battlefield and roared, it exposed its razor-sharp teeth inside its massive jaw and mmed it shut to show the power behind its bite force. Yesh didn''t seem to care much about it and sent out his first pokemon as well, Scizor. Yesh''s first choice was very good, a bug type against a ground type would surely help in some way and since Yesh is very calctive this first round might go his way. Julian looked at both of their choices and smiled, Yesh''s Scizor is an exceptional pokemon and he has seen it in action, while Ash''s Krookodile seems to be in peak condition as well, Julian has no idea who is going to win, he needs to watch them battle beforeing to a conclusion. The referee didn''t waste any time and started the battle with a swing of his gs. Ash went on the attack straight on. Ash "Use Crunch" Krookodile charged at Scizor and opened its jaws wide open, a massive dark jaw formed right in front of it and it tried to m it shut on Scizor. Yesh "Scizor, Night sh" His Scizor crossed its arms and charged at Krookodile''s Crunch and its pincers started to get covered in a dark aura, both of the pokemons shed, creating a powerful shockwave. As both pokemons tried to measure each other''s power level, Krookodile was pushed back as Scizor seems to be the more powerful pokemon among them. Ash "Earthquake" As Krookodile got pushed back, it heard Ash and mmed its tail on the ground and bnced itself before mming one of its legs hard on the ground sending earth energy into the ground and activating Earthquake. Yesh "Jump, then use Razor Wind" Before the Earthquake could activate, Scizor jumped up in the air and shed its pincers in the air sending out multiple des of winds at Krookodile. Ash "Counter with Aqua Tail" While the Earthquake was still in progress, Krookodile swung its tail which is covered in water energy at the Razor Winds, the sh destroyed the Razor Winds while Scizornded on the ground again and suffered thesting effects of the Earthquake which was fading away. Yesh "Iron Head" As soon as Scizornded, it charged at Krookodile headfirst, its forehead got reinforced by metal energy forming a bulge on Scizor''s head. Ash "Dodge and use Dragon w" As Scizor got closer, Krookodile stepped to the side and dodged the Iron Head, since Scizor was going headfirst with its attack it couldn''t suddenly change its direction quickly. Krookodile lifted its glowing Dragon w and shed at Scizor with full power. Yesh "X-Scissors" As the Dragon w wasing down, Scizor used its lead foot to stop itself and quickly turn its body towards Krookodile and crossed its arms activating X-Scissors. The Dragon wnded on the X-Scissors and Krookodile tried to power down Scizor to its knee, but Scizor being the powerful pokemon of the two was able to hold its own even though it has the lower ground. As both pokemons tried to push the other using their moves, the pulse from these two attacks rubbing against each other distorted the air around them, the ground under their feet started to crack and break. As Krookodile was putting more pressure it felt the ground under its feet get loose and it lost its ground which allowed it to exert all the force on Scizor but now that it doesn''t have it, Scizor felt the reduction of pressure and pushed back with full power. Scizor''s X-Scissor got through Krookodile''s defense andnded a clean hit on Krookodile''s stomach, sending it flying through the air. Chapter 931 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (2) Krookodile went flying through the air and crashed hard on the ground, that X-Scissornded perfectly, even though little weakened in power it was still very effective against a ground type like Krookodile. But to everyone''s surprise, Ash''s Krookodile got back to its feet and adjusted the sses it was wearing while showing its razor-sharp teeth to Scizor. ?? Yesh "Scizor, use Brutal Swing" Scizor charged at Krookodile again and swung both its arms like propellers and started to spin very fast, dark energy covered its arms as it tried tond another good hit on Krookodile. Ash "Use Crunch" As Scizor got closer, Krookodile used another Crunch and mmed it shut on Scizor, an explosion urred and both pokemon flew back andnded on their feet again. Yesh soon realized that this battle will end in a very physical way, both his and Ash''s pokemon are physical attackers, they don''t have any special attacks that could deal big damage, and seeing Ash is sticking to physical, Yesh has nothing to worry about. He knows that his Scizor is stronger and he needs tond another one of those X-Scissors to get a clean first-round win over Ash. Yesh looked through the battlefield and thought of a few things beforeing up with a method tond a hit. Yesh "Use Metal ws" Yesh made his call and his Scizor charged at Krookodile with its pincers covered in metal energy, it swung its left arm at Krookodile tond the Metal w. Ash "Use, Thunder Fang" Seeing the iing swing, instead of moving away, Krookodile moved in and got very close to Scizor and then suddenly used Thunder Fang and bit down on Krookodile''s left forearm stopping the Metal w in its path. Scizor then suffered a powerful jolt of electricity as its whole body shook in pain, but Scizor used its other arm and started to punch the side of Krookodile''s body using Metal w, these shots sounded painful, after four two five punches Krookodile let go and stepped back while holding onto its side. Scizor also is also feeling numbness throughout its whole body but it could still move. Yesh "Now''s the chance, use X-Scissor" Seeing an opening, Yesh didn''t want to miss this chance, he noticed that those Metal ws dealt a lot of damage to Krookodile, Scizor moved fast and sessfullynded the X-Scissor right on Krookodile''s chest and sent it flying through the air, it was a critical hit. Ash "KROOKODILE" Ash shouted as he saw his Krookodile crashing into the ground. Ash "Come on it''s not over, get up" Hearing Ash''s voice, Krookodile suddenly shot up and roared loudly, its eyes were red in anger and there seems to be a sudden power boost inside Krookodile. Julian who was watching this noticed the changes and realized that Ash''s Krookodile has the ability, Anger Point, this ability rises an ability bearer''s attack to maximum when the user gets hit by a critical shot. Yesh "Let''s end this, use X-Scissor again" Seeing that his opponent''s pokemon was consumed in anger, Yesh realized that he could capitalize on this. Ash "Now, Foul y" Seeing the iing attack, Ash knew this is his chance and made a call. As Scizor got closer and was about tond the X-Scissor, Krookodile suddenly grabbed one of Scizor''s arms with a glowing dark w and Scizor suddenly felt all its power being drained from its X-Scissor. Since Krookodile used Foul y, it allowed Krookodile to steal, Scizor''s own powers and hit it with it, since Scizor is the stronger attacker, Krookodile stole all that power from Scizor for a second, and with his Ability Anger Point in y, the power behind is attack multiplied even further. Krookodile''s right w started to glow dark as it was covered with a very concentrated amount of dark energy, it then punched Scizor''s stomach and sent it flying across the battlefield. Scizor went flying and crashed hard on the ground andid there for a few seconds before trying to get back to its feet again. Ash "Now, finish it, Fire Fang" Krookodile charged at Scizor which is still trying to get back to its feet and bit down on it with its massive jaw covered in mes. Scizor''s whole body was engulfed in mes and it went on its knee, Krookodile let go of Scizor and backed off and watched as Scizor''s head crashed into the ground and got knocked out. Referee "Scizor is unable to battle Krookodile wins" The Referee called out the result as Scizor went down. The crowd went wild as they saw this, they didn''t expect this to happen, this is the first time Yesh lost a pokemon during this whole league and it came in the hands of Ash, Ash''s name started to go around the grand stadium and people couldn''t hide their excitement. Yesh, on the other hand, looked at his fallen Scizor and didn''t think much about it, he analyzed the battle inside his mind and sent Scizor back to its Pokeball. He then sent out his next pokemon as he didn''t like to waste time, he sent out his Excadrill, this is the same Excadrill Julian passed it down to him as a Drilbur, brother of Julian''s Excadrill. Yesh "I think I get you, from here on, things are going to be different" Yesh said in a monotone voice while looking at Ash, Ash didn''t understand what Yesh meant but he didn''t care, his only worry right now is to keep on his momentum and defeat Yesh and head to the finals. Chapter 932 - Ash VS Yesh 2 (3) Ash didn''t know what Yesh was saying, but he is fired up, he took down Yesh''s pokemon, and that has never been done by any other trainer till now, he has the momentum and he is going to use it. Yesh "Let''s being the second round then" ?? Yesh said and started the battle. Yesh "Excadrill, use Crush w" Yesh''s Excadrill charged at Krookodile with his ws wide open, the steel ws glow white as he got closer to his target. Ash "Counter with Foul y again" Since Ash has already brought out his ace move, he wanted to go all out with it from the very start. Krookodile saw the iing attack and raised its hand to stop it but it seems to be a bluff before, Krookodile could even grab Excadrill''s attack, Excadrill suddenly switched his arm and grabbed Krookodile arm with Crush w causing one of its arm to go numb. Yesh "Finish it, Drill Run" As Krookodile grabbed onto its arm from the effects of Crush w, it couldn''t fully defend against the next attack that came towards its way. Excadrill used Drill Run andnded it right on Krookodile''s chest and sent it flying and crashing into the ground, Krookodile fainted on the spot and ended this round. Referee "Krookodile is unable to battle, Excadrill wins" Ash was shocked as he thought his Krookodile would be able tost a little longer in the battle, he didn''t expect it to go down so early. Yesh "As I said, I have already figured you out, you are rash and unpredictable, the best way to take you down is by brute force and nothing else, I don''t need a game n against you" Yesh said as he looked at his opponent. Yesh spent a lot of time watching and studying Ash, he believed Ash is one of his strongest opponents and he did a lot of calctions, yed multiple stimtions in his mind but he would never get a perfect result. He finally decided to see what Julian did to defeat Ash. He didn''t want to take this route because of what Julian had said to him before, ''Don''t do things I do just because I get results, find your own way or you will never be able to reach the top by copying others''. Yesh took this very personally, he wanted to learn from Julian and just be like him, be the best trainer in the world but after learning under Julian, Yesh changed even though he didn''t show it to anyone. He wanted to be the strongest and he didn''t change his goal, but he wanted to find his own style, something that is as effective as Julian''s andpletely different from him as well. As Yesh found nothing, he had to go back and watch Julian battle with Ash again and when he saw all the video footage, he was surprised to see Julian''s battle against Ash. He was surprised to see Julian''s way, it was just brute force and nothing else, he just tried to overpower Ash''s pokemon in every aspect, speed, power, skills, it was the roughest he has ever seen Julian battle, with no n, it was just like a street fight with no technique. Yesh finally realized what type of opponent Ash really was, he is rash but sometimes he will make a move so unexpected that will catch everyone by surprise, he realized that there is no other way to battle Ash other than sticking to your guts and nothing else, don''t think about what Ash is going to do next, only think about how you will advance and counter moves in the very particr second. _________________________ Ash didn''t expect this but he has a lot more to do, without any second thought Ash sent Krookodile back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon, Emboar. Ash''s Emboar took the battlefield and let out a battle cry while the mes around its neck and back red up releasing immense heat into the surrounding. Yesh "Being, Drill Run again" Yesh called for another Drill Run Ash "Counter with Stone Edge" Emboar heard themand and punched the ground hard, suddenly multiple blue rock pirs came shooting out of the ground, trying to stop Excadrill''s momentum but Excadrill drilled right through them as if they didn''t provide any resistance, he drilled through everything and arrived in front of Emboar. Ash "Use Brick Break" As Excadrill got close, Emboar lifted its arm and brought it down hard on Excadrill using Brick Break, as the two moves shed, a powerful shockwave broke out sending ripples through the air, the ground beneath Emboar''s feet shattered leaving a deep imprint behind. Yesh "Keep pushing forward, use Metal ws" Excadrill continued to advance forward with his attacks, he swiped left and right using Metal ws, trying tond each and every hit with full power behind it. Ash got excited as he witnessed the battle bing more intense, a smile appeared on his face and he continued to givemands. As Yesh observed the battle, he also noticed the smile on Ash''s face and wondered why he is smiling. Yesh ''How can one smile in a battle?'' Yesh asked himself while keeping a straight face, he has never experienced any emotions during a battle, the only thing he thinks of during a battle is winning and if he doesn''t win, he thinks about how he can improve and change his ways so that next time he isn''t defeated. Chapter 933 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (4) The battle between Emboar and Excadrill became very physical in nature, both of them tried to ovee the other with brute force, while Ash had fun while battling, Yesh kept his head clear of any thongs. He made sure to note up with any kind of battle n and think of something in the very second of the battle, Emboar being the bigger pokemon tried to use its weight around and push Excadrill, but Excadrill seems to be very quick with his feet and his ws. ?? He would counter every move that was thrown on him by Emboar and then wouldnd a hit on top, the battle soon came to an end as the final move was made. Ash called for a Brick Break while Yesh chose to increase his pokemon''s power and uracy by using Hone w and then Drill Run. Excadrill dodged the Brick Break andnded the Drill Run right on Emboar''s chest and sent it crashing to the ground. Referee "Emboar is unable to battle, Excadrill wins" The Referee called another result as he saw Emboar getting knocked out. Ash clenched his fist as he saw his Emboar go down as well, he tried his best but his opponent seems to be much stronger than he expected. Yesh "As I said, you won''t win this time" Yesh said as he looked at Ash''s fallen pokemon, he then looked at Ash who seems to be showing frustration on his face. Ash "It doesn''t matter" He said as he looked straight into Yesh''s eyes. Yesh "Why doesn''t it matter? I havepletely figured you out, you have no chance of winning against me" Yesh answered. Ash "I don''t know what you figured out, it doesn''t matter to me, I am here to battle and win and that is all I have in my mind right now, so it really doesn''t matter if you have figured me out, I am here to win and no one will know the result until the end." He said. Yesh looked at Ash for a few seconds before giving an answer. Yesh "Have it your way then, bring out your next pokemon." Yesh said in a monotone voice but Ash definitely took this personally, he thinks Yesh is looking down on him, Ash didn''t wait and sent out his next pokemon, Scrafty. A Dark/Fighting-type pokemon, being a fighting type, it also has an advantage against Yesh''s Excadrill and a higher chance of winning this round as Excadrill has been on the battlefield against two opponents now. Ash''s Scrafty enters the battlefield while holding onto the loose skin around its waist, it then looks at Excadrill and spits on the ground to provoke Excadrill. Scraftys are known for their aggressive behavior against unknown people and pokemon, they would always attack any stranger thates inside their territory but they are also known to be very kind to their friends and family. Yesh looked at Ash''s next choice and still didn''t bothering up with a battle strategy, he wants to continue doing what he is doing. The battle started again and just like before Yesh''s Excadrill seems to be too much for Ash''s Scrafty, its defense was much better than Ash''s previous two pokemons but it didn''t have enough strength to capitalize over Yesh''s Excadrill. As the battle went on, Ash''s Scrafty got pushed to a corner before Yesh called for the final move. Yesh "Use Submission" After cornering Scrafty, Excadrill drilled into the ground and shot out right behind Scrafty and got his arms around Scrafty''s neck and hands, and submitted it to the ground. Scrafty tried to struggle out of the submission hold from Excadrill but couldn''t find enough strength to fight back, it soon fainted out of exhaustion and not being able to breathe for a while. Referee "Scrafty is unable to battle, Excadrill wins" The referee called another result and the scoreboard changed again. By now three of Ash''s pokemon are down, Krookodile, Emboar, and now Scrafty while Yesh only lost his Scizor. The crowd is also going wild as they witnessed how strong Yesh''s Excadrill really is, it alone took down three of Ash''s pokemon and it still seems to be going strong. Ash clenched his fist as he saw his Scrafty going down as well, Yesh just seems to be overpowering him in every aspect. He started to lose some confidence in himself as he couldn''t think of anything to counter Yesh but suddenly he felt a tug on his leg, he looked down and saw his Pikachu looking at him with determination in his eyes. Ash "You wanna go?" He asked. Pikachu "PiiiiKKAACHU" Pikachu called out his own name with a nod. Ash "Fine, let''s do this" Ash said and sent out Pikachu as his next pokemon, sending out an electric type pokemon against a ground type pokemon like Excadrill could be considered foolish but logic never applied with Ash. Yesh looked at Ash''s choice and got a little more serious, he has been studying Ash and he knows that Pikachu is one of Ash''s strongest pokemon or if not, the strongest pokemon as he has been with Ash from the very beginning and has gone toe to toe with Julian''s pokemon on a battlefield as well. He didn''t expect Ash to send out his Pikachu so early but it didn''t matter, Yesh saw himself winning this battle and in his mind, the oue won''t change, he is 80% sure that he is going to win this battle and head to the finals and face of against Julian. Julian who is looking at this battle finally smiled as he saw Pikachu entering the battlefield, it is always great to see Pikachu battle as this little electric mouse is one of the most powerful pokemon he has ever seen. Julian even wondered how strong Pikachu would have really been if he had trained him, he powers would have been at ridiculous levels under Julian''s guidance. Chapter 934 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (5) Pikachu ran into the battlefield and took his stance as he stared at the Excadrill standing in front of him, he is determined to take down Yesh''s pokemon and win this battle. Yesh "Crush w" ?? Yesh didn''t wait around and went for the attack, Excadrill opened his ws as they glowed white, they grew in size and they descended down on Pikachu. Ash "Dodge and then use Quick Attack" As the Crush w was about tond, Pikachu moved to the side which created an after image, as the Crush wnded on the after image, Pikachu used Quick Attack and crashed right into Excadrill''s abdomen and sent him sliding through the battlefield. Yesh was surprised to see this, the speed and power that Pikachu disyed were not normal by even Yesh''s standards. His Excadrill continued sliding through the battlefield but he soon got back to his feet and held onto its abdomen, that Quick Attack did more damage than he expected, even though he is resistant to normal type attacks. Yesh "Drill Run" Yesh decided to stick to his ways, even though the power behind Pikachu''s attacks is high, he is still not as physically strong as his Excadrill and can deal a lot more damage to Pikachu. Excadrill mmed his ws together and channeled a lot of earth energy inside his body and surrounded his whole body with it before starting to spin at very high speed and charge at Pikachu. Ash "Counter with Iron Tail" Pikachu ran towards the iing Excadrill and swung his tail as fast as he could while using Iron Tail, his tail turned into steel and reflected the light from the sun as it was swung at the iing Drill Run. As the two attacks shed, it created a massive shockwave and a thunderous sound that could deafen anyone at close range. The earth energy around Excadrill suddenly shattered after contact and Excadrill was sent flying through the air and then crashed on the ground hard, he tried to get back to his feet, struggling as hard as it can to do so. Ash "Iron Tail again" Pikachu used his speed and closed the distance between him and Excadrill in an instant and is able tond another powerful Iron Tail right on Excadrill''s abdomen once again, Excadrill once again took air and crashed on the ground hard. But this time he didn''t get back to his feet as he got knocked out. The crowd went wild as the powerful Excadrill finally went down and Ash''s name echoed across the stadium. Referee "Excadrill is unable to battle, Pikachu wins" The referee made the call and waited for Yesh to send out his next pokemon, Yesh looked at Ash''s Pikachu for a second before selecting another pokemon, he realized that Ash''s Pikachu is too fast for any of his pokemon and he needs to find another way to deal with it. Yesh called Excadrill back to his Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon which could be the bane of Ash''s Pikachu, Steelix. Yesh sent out a massive Steelix on the battlefield, as the Pokeball opened a massive Steelixnded on the battlefield and created a tremor to travel through the battlefield, the massive Steelix seems to be 10 meters long so it looked like a titan in front of the small electric rodent. The Steelix looked at Pikachu and grinned, a electric-type physical attacker like Pikachu has very little to no chance against a defensive pokemon like Steelix. First, it''s massive and can easily deal a lot of damage to Pikachu by just swinging its tail around. Second, it is a ground type so it is immune to all of Pikachu''s electric type attacks. Third, it is known for its ridiculous defense, most of Pikachu''s big attacks are his electric type attacks but they are useless against a ground type like Steelix, so he will have to rely on his other move sets which are mostly physical and with the bulky defense Steelix has, it will be hard for Pikachu to ovee it. The only strong physical attack that Pikachu has is his Iron Tail. Now the only question is that if Ash and Pikachu can pull off a win against a pokemon like Steelix using only physical moves like Iron Tail? which is also resisted by Steelix. Julian saw Yesh''s pick andughed. Julian ''He really knows how to put pressure on the opponent'' He thought and looked at Ash. Julian ''The best option right now is to switch pokemon, but from seeing his expression, I think he won''t do that, let''s see if Pikachu can pull this off.'' Julian thought as he looked at the current situation with a smile. Things are just getting interesting, Julian wondered who would really win because he knows, Ash has some pokemons still hidden, maybe the ones from his previous regions, any one of them could make an appearance, like his Infernape, Kingler, Snox, Heracross, Staraptor, or Gliscor and more, any one of them could make an appearance andpletely change the results of the battle. Just like Julian predicted, Ash didn''t switch and continued with Pikachu and started the battle. Ash "Quick Attack!" Chapter 935 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (6) With Ash taking charge, Pikachu used Quick Attack and ran towards the Steelix at full speed, his speed was blinding as Steelix couldn''t keep its eye on Pikachu, Pikachu easily got behind Steelix andnded a Quick Attack on its back but to everyone''s surprise, Steelix only flinched a little. Yesh "Dragon Tail" ?? As Pikachu backed of, Steelix roared and lifted its tail high up in the air as very destructive energy formed around its tail, Steelix used Dragon Tail and brought it down on Pikachu with full power. Ash "Use Agility and Dodge" Pikachu used Agility and increased his speed by a level and dodged at Dragon Tail easily leaving several after images behind, as Steelix''s tail smashed into the ground, it caused a mini earthquake andpletely destroyed the ground. If this would havended on Pikachu it might have been the end. Ash "Use Agility again" Ash wanted to use his only advantage that is speed and make Pikachu even faster so that Steelix would really have a hard time seeing himing. Yesh "Use Earthquake" Steelix once again lifted its tail high up in the air channeling a lot of earth energy in its tail and mmed it on the ground causing a massive energy pulse to enter into the ground and causing an earthquake. Ash "Jump" As the Earthquake started, Pikachu jumped high up in the sky to avoid getting hit by it, being a ground-type move, it would have dealt a lot of damage. Yesh "Now, Iron Tail" As Pikachu took air, Steelix once again lifted its tail and then swung its whole body sending its tail swinging towards Pikachu with full speed, metal energy surrounded its tail as it got closer to its target. Ash "Counter with Iron Tail as well" As Pikachu is still in the air, he rolled his body and started to spin to build momentum and activated Iron Tail, both Iron Tail shed and made a deafening sound, it was as if two giant bells made of metal colliding with each other at high speed. Everyone covered their ears but they could still hear the ringing sound in their ear, the sh also created a powerful shockwave whichpletely disturbed the atmosphere, even though there was no contact point to the ground, the ground beneath the collision shattered from the shockwave. Pikachu was sent flying from the recoil while Steelix''s whole body twisted due to recoil as well, Pikachu rolled his body and did multiple flips beforending on the battlefield while Steelix stabilized its massive body with brute force. Yesh is surprised again, he couldn''t believe the amount of energy Pikachu could generate in a single Iron Tail with its tiny frame, it was able to even top his Steelix''s Iron Tail. Ash "Agility and Quick Attack" Ash is sticking to his ways and increasing Pikachu''s speed, Pikachu used Agility and then Quick Attack once again, with every Agility, his speed kept increasing and Steelix is having a hard time keeping its eyes on Pikachu. Yesh ''If, that''s how you want to do it then I will do the same'' Yesh thought and decided to change the way he is battling. Yesh "Use Autotomize" Yesh decided to increase his Steelix''s speed as well, Autotomize is a move that allows the pokemon to decrease its weight by 100kg every time it is used, a pokemon made itself weigh up to just 0.1kg by using Autotomize multiple times. Steelix used Autotomize and shaved off 100 kgs of its body increasing its speed by several levels, losing its weight and still have the same amount of power can indeed be very beneficial but there are also disadvantages to this, the recoil will be a lot worse. Steelix''s massive body helped it keep stabilized on the battlefield but if another massive collision takes ce, Steelix will have a harder time getting its body under control. As Pikachu got closer tond the Quick Attack, Steelix countered with another Dragon Tail, this time the Dragon Tail is much faster than before. Seeing this Ash quickly made his decision and countered. Ash "Dodge and continue forward" Pikachu used its dexterity and dodged the iing Dragon Tail by a hair inch andnded the Iron Tail right below Steelix''s head causing its head to snap back from the recoil, it was more effective than Yesh expected but his Steelix has very high defense, it can take many hits like this with no problem. Seeing that Steelix is still having a hard time keeping up with Pikachu, Yesh decided to use Autotomize again, Steelix once again shaved off another hundred kg from its weight and increased its speed by several levels again and now with the power in its body, it couldunch at a certain direction at extreme speed, its tail would also act as a whip rather than a heavy weapon. Ash "Agility and Quick Attack" Ash continued with this attack pattern as it worked, Pikachu used Agility again and increased his speed again, and charged at Steelix with full speed. Yesh "Sandstorm" Yesh decided to put a stop to Pikachu by using Sandstorm, Steelix roared and released a pulse of energy which suddenly started to cause changes in the surrounding as sand started to umte out of nowhere and blow around the battlefield creating a Sandstorm. This put a stop to Pikachu''s momentum as he got hit by a flying pebble out of nowhere, being inside a Sandstorm is very dangerous for pokemons who are not Ground, Rock, or Steel type, Pikachu who is an electric type will get hit by flying stones and pebbles from every direction so he will have to end this quickly. Ash "Pikachu, stay focused and let''s finish this quickly" Ash also wants to end this fast, he knows he cannot let Pikachu stay inside the Sandstorm for much longer. Chapter 936 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (7) The Sandstorm is definitely hindering Pikachu''s speed, he is also getting sted by small stones and pebbles and hurting him. Ash "Let''s end this with one big move, Volt Tackle" ?? Pikachu pped his cheeks and charged up the electricity inside his body and rushed towards Steelix, the lightning around Pikachu incinerated the stones flying towards him, every step he took crashed the ground as he made his way towards Steelix. Julian looked at this and his eyes went wide, while everyone wondered why would Ash use an electric type move against ground type pokemon but Julian had other ideas, he has seen this before and he thinks Ash is going to do the same again. Yesh saw Ash doing something he didn''t expect and he realized this is one of those things that doesn''t make sense. Yesh "You won''t seed, Steelix, use Head Smash" Yesh isn''t going to allow Ash to pull off anything dangerous right now when things are going his way. Steelix covered its head with rock energy and charged towards Pikachu who is rushing towards it using Volt Tackle, seeing that the two were about to sh Julian got to his feet and wondered if Ash is really going to pull this off once again. Ash "Now, Brick Break" Hearing Ash, Pikachu suddenly put all his strength behind his hind legs and weight in the front ones and shot up in the air doing a front flip while his tail suddenly started to glow and radiate destructive energy around it which fused with the lightning around his body. Yesh saw this and his eyes went wide as he remembered this same move Ash did against Julian''s pokemon but in that he did it with an Iron Tail but this time he is doing it with a Brick Break. Julian also got to his feet as he saw this attack, it was way more powerful than thest time he saw this, he could feel it, even from behind the ss window. Pikachu''s glowing tail covered with destructive energy fused with lightning and Steelix''s head covered with rock energy collided and caused such a powerful explosion that the grand stadium''s protection activated again, this is the second time it has been activated. The shockwave was destructive as well and even bent the protection field to a point that it was close to touching the audience who are sitting on the first row. The ground below thempletely caved in because of the sudden release of the massive energy from that collision. Even the Sandstorm that was activated before got sted away and removed from the stadium, the crowd then saw Steelix''s head snap back and crash into the ground, they also saw Pikachu sent flipping and spinning through the air. Pikachu also crashed on the ground and both pokemons seems to be knocked out right now, as the smoke cleared up the referee looked at both pokemon and saw one of them lifting their heads up and trying to stand straight, seeing this pokemon stand up and the other one didn''t, the referee called the result. Referee "Steelix is unable to battle, Pikachu wins" Ash "YES" Ash shouted in excitement as he saw Pikachu win the exchange, he had been trying to master this move for quite a while now, thest time he used it was against Julian but he lost that exchange, from there on he trained Pikachu to master this move. Yesh didn''t expect his Steelix to go down, he had prepared his Steelix just to deal with Ash''s Pikachu but this n of his didn''t work. Yesh then looked at Ash''s Pikachu and noticed that he is very tired as well, thatst attack from Pikachu took out a lot from him, but Yesh is still surprised to see Pikachu still standing, Pikachu was able to take down his Steelix with one powerful hit. Those Quick Attacks were also effective in chipping down some health but they would not have made any difference, thest attack did it all. Yesh didn''t waste Ash''s time and sent Steelix back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon on the battlefield, now both of them are tie again, both lost three pokemons. Ash lost Krookodile, Emboar, and Scrafty, while Yesh lost his Scizor, Excadrill, and now Steelix. It looks like Ash didn''t want to switch his pokemon and keep his cards hidden till the end, Yesh, on the other hand, took out a new Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon, ziken. Yesh''s ziken took the battlefield and stared at Pikachu with its fierce eyes, Julian was also surprised by seeing this pokemon because he didn''t expect Yesh to have a ziken. Yesh "ze Kick" Once again Yesh didn''t wait around and attacked, his ziken moved fast, very fast, it got close to Pikachu and was about tond the ze Kick when Pikachu suddenly countered. Ash "Counter with Thunderbolt" Now that Pikachu can use his electric type moves against ziken, he is not going to miss this chance, but to everyone''s surprise, ziken didn''t stop and kicked straight through the bolt of lightning with its legs andnded a powerful hit on Pikachu and sent it rolling on the ground. Pikachu finally stopped right in front of Ash''s legs, knocked out. It was not that ziken was too strong for Pikachu, it was just that thest battle could have ended up in a draw and Pikachu got back to his feet by sheer will and determination and nothing else, and now he had no power to counter ziken so he was easily able to go through the Thunderbolt andnd the hit. Chapter 937 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (8) Ash Pikachu got knocked out and the crowd cheered for Yesh again, never has the crowd been so confused about who to support, every time they think one trainer is going to sweep the floor, they get destroyed. First, they thought Ash might have a chance, then they saw three of his pokemons getting knocked out by just one of Yesh''s pokemon, then Ash took out two more of Yesh''s pokemon with his Pikachu, and now once again Yesh takes the lead by defeating Ash''s Pikachu. ?? Now Ash is four down and Yesh is three down. Ash looked at his Pikachu and was a little upset that Pikachu got knocked out but the battle is still not over, he lifted Pikachu and ced him next to his legs, and took out another Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon. A Seismitoad entered the battlefield, this is Ash''s fifth pokemon and a good choice against a pokemon like ziken. Ash "Use Earthquake" Ash went for the attack from the very beginning and called for an Earthquake. Yesh "Jump and then use Brick Break" ziken jumped high up in the air and avoided the Earthquake and did a flip and converted it into a powerful downwards leg sweep using Brick Break, being a very diverse move, it can be used by any parts of the body, hands, legs, and also tail and it seems that Yesh''s ziken prefers to use its legs a lot. Ash "Now Bubble Beam" Seeing that ziken took air, Ash knew this was his chance, since ziken cannot shift its position in the air, this was the best time tond a super-effective hit. Seismitoad listened to Ash and shot multiple glowing bubbles at ziken, ziken saw in the iing attack and used the Brick Break to counter them. The Bubbles burst as they came in contact with ziken''s foot, the water energy that exploded out of these bubbles did cause some damage but ziken ignored them andnded on the ground and got hit by thest wave of the Earthquake that was still activated. Yesh "Once again" As soon as zikennded it charged at Seismitoad using another Brick Break. This battle continued for a while but it was finally put to an end as Yesh''s ziken grabbed Seismitoad''s arm and swung it up in the air and then used its powerful legs to jump up andnd a powerful Sky Uppercut. Seismitoad was sent even higher up in the sky before it came crashing down andnded hard on the ground and got knocked out. Now Ash is down to hisst pokemon while Yesh still has three more to go, his ziken and the other two who are still not introduced into the battlefield. Ash clinches his fist and calls Seismitoad and took out his final Pokeball and looked at it. Ash "You are myst resort I guess" He said and threw the Pokeball into the battlefield, a pokemon standing 2 meters came out of it and released a powerful roar ready to win. The pokemon spread his wings wide and looked up in the air and breath out mes and lit up the surrounding even though it is still bright. Ash brought back his Charizard, his Charizard seems to be even stronger than ever before. Julian looked at Charizard and smiled, another one of Ash''s most powerful pokemon came back, now Yesh will be really put under pressure. Ash''s Charizard is very strong, maybe even stronger than his Pikachu as Pikachu lost most of its power at the beginning but Charizard has been training none stop in the Charizard valley, a ce where Charizards can tap into their utmost potential due to the surrounding and energy around the valley. Ash "Charizard let''s do this, methrower" Charizard pped his wings and took air and charged at ziken, as he got closer he opened his mouth wide and sted a powerful methrower at ziken. Yesh "Use Sky Uppercut" Seeing that Ash wants to go head-on, Yesh also decided to do the same and went for the attack, ziken used its powerful legs and jumped towards Charizard and tried tond the Sky Uppercut. ziken ignored the methrower and went right through it with sheer force and was about to get close to Charizard when Charizard used his advantage of flying and moved out of the way and got right behind ziken and sted another methrower at ziken''s back and hit it hard. ziken flew up high in the air due to the impact and was about to start falling down when Ash made his move. Ash "Grab it and use Seismic Toss" Charizard flew towards ziken and grabbed it from behind and started to fly up high towards the sky with ziken, ziken tried to struggle out but it was of no use, Charizard took ziken so high up in the sky that the audience couldn''t even see them. Once Charizard reached the desired height, he started to spin in circles in the air which created an image of a in the sky, and then Charizard dove down with full speed. ziken''s eyes widened as it saw the ground getting closer and closer by every second, it could do nothing but close its eyes. Charizard finally made contact with the ground which created another powerful shockwave forcing the stadium to activate its protection field once again which stopped the shockwave from injuring anyone in the audience. A massive mushroom dust cloud rose high up to the sky whole the battleground right now has beenpletely destroyed, once the dust settled down everyone could see ziken nted deep into the ground inside a massive crater while Charizard stood next to it and released a powerful roar along with mes. Chapter 938 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (9) Referee "ziken is unable to battle Charizard wins" Yesh''s ziken got knocked out. ?? Hearing the result, the crowd went wild again, they didn''t know who is going to win, while Yesh still has two pokemons left, Ash''s Charizard doesn''t seem fazed even a little bit, and just like before, Ash might pull off another continuous knockout or it can go theplete other way and Yesh might finish this battle with his next pokemon. Yesh didn''t expect this battle to be dragged out this long, he wanted to end this battle by using only three pokemon at max but now four of his pokemons are down and he needs to bring out his hidden weapon to deal with Ash''s Charizard. He still has his Toxicroak but he knows it cannot defeat Ash''s Charizard, Yesh decided to finally bring out his strongest pokemon, he had saved this pokemon for Julian but it looks like he has no other option to bring it out now. Julian also wondered what Yesh''s next pokemon will be and waited in anticipation. Yesh "I have to admit, I was wrong about you, I thought I figure you out but there is more to it than just that, but it''s time to end this battle" Yesh said and to Ash and sent ziken back to its Pokeball before taking out another one threw it up in the air, as the Pokeball opened an orange pokemon with the height of 1.6 meters floating on a cloud appeared, as soon as the audience saw this pokemon, they went crazy as they couldn''t believe what they are seeing right now. Announcer "OHH MYYY ARCEUSSSSS, IT''S LANDORUSSSSSS" The announcer went crazy as well as he saw Landorus on the battlefield, floating on its cloud with its arms crossed looking at Ash''s Charizard with an angry look on its face. Julian was also shocked to see this, he didn''t expect Yesh to have a legendary pokemon under him and that too a Landorus. Julian ''Things just got interesting'' He thought and sat back down and waited for the battle to start again. Ash saw Yesh''s choice but was not worried about it, he believed in his Charizard. Ash "Charizard, let''s do this, use methrower" Charizard roared and charged at Landorus and used methrower, a powerful burning hot me gushed out of Charizard''s mouth and headed towards Landorus. Yesh "Counter with Earth Power" Hearing Yesh, Landorus unfolded its arms and brought its palms together making them into ws while leaving a little gap between them, suddenly a massive amount of earth energy started to gather between its palms, the energy formed into a glowing orange-yellowish ball. Landorus then threw it towards the methrower and went back to folding its hands. The two attacks made contact and created a powerful shockwave and exploded sending rubbles flying everywhere, both of them seem to be equal in power but that is not the case. While Charizard has a more powerful Special attack and used a very powerful methrower, Yesh''s Landorus countered it with a ground-type move making it more effective in canceling out the methrower. Ash "Use Dragon w" Charizard roared and charged at Landorus and used Dragon w, he created massive purple ws and crossed them, ready to unleash when he gets closer to Landorus. Yesh "Landorus, use Rock Slide" Landorus unfolded its arms and rose it up as if it is using some kind of psychic powers, suddenly rocks flew up from the ground and gathered together, Landorus then sent all these rocks hurdling at Charizard. Charizard saw the iing rocks and used its massive wings to dodge some of them and then used the Dragon ws to destroy the ones that he couldn''t dodge, he then got close to Landorus and was about tond the Dragon w when Yesh called for a counter. Yesh "Counter with Hammer Arm" Landorus lifted its arms up and brought it crashing down on Charizard, both attacks collided and caused a powerful shockwave but what happened next caused everyone to gasp in shock. The power from Landorus was so much that Charizard flipped in the air multiple times before crashing into the ground. Yesh "Transform, Therian Forme, and then use Bulldoze" As Charizard crashed into the ground, Landorus suddenly transformed, the clouds around its body disappeared, its arms turned into limbs and it took the form of a pokemon with four legs, it looked like a tiger. Since in Therian Forme it cannot fly, Landorus also started to fall down but instead, it used Bulldoze from the very moment and came down crashing towards Charizard. Charizard who is trying to get up suddenly felt two ws crashing into his back, Charizard roared in pain as his body bent in an ufortable manner. Landorus then jumped away leaving Charizard once again on the ground. Yesh "Finish it, Stone Edge" Landorus used its two front legs and lifted them up high before mming them into the ground, suddenly blue glowing rocks shot out of the ground and headed towards Charizard. Ash "Charizard, quick, use Dragon Rush" As the rocks were about to impale Charizard, he used all his strength and got up and used Dragon Rush, a massive blue energy dragon covered his whole body and he used the momentum from it and dodged the Stone Edge andnded a powerful hit on Landorus. The energy dragon mmed its jaws shut on Landorus and sent it flying through the air, Landorus crashed on the ground but quickly got back to its feet by rolling a few more times. Yesh "Incarnate Forme" Yesh asked Landorus to switch form quickly and it did and took to the air to avoid further close-range damage from Ash''s Charizard. Chapter 939 - Ash Vs Yesh 2 (10) Ash "Use Dragon Rush again" Charizard took air again while the blue energy dragon covered his whole body, he then charged right at Landorus with the intent to end this battle. ?? Yesh "Use Rock Throw" Landorus then lifted its hands up gathering a lot of rocks and hurdling them towards Charizard, the blue energy dragon came in contact with these rocks andpletely turned them into dust and continued forward but the power behind the attacks went down by a lot. Yesh "Now Hammer Arm" Landorus used a double axe grip with its two hands and used Hammer Arm and brought it down on the lower jaw of the energy dragon as it mawed at Landorus. The Hammer Armnded on the lower jaw of the energy dragon and caused a powerful explosion to take ce followed by a shockwave which forced the stadium''s protection to get activated again. The explosion caused both Landorus and Charizard to fly back from the bacsh, while Landorus was about to stabilize itself, Charizard crashed hard on the ground. Seeing his chance Yesh ordered Landorus to take its Therian Forme again, Landorus once again transformed andnded on the ground as per Yesh''s request. Yesh "Now, Giga Impact" Landorus rushed towards the fallen Charizard as destructive energy surrounded it, in its Therian Forme, Landorus''s physical attacks are much more powerful than in his Incarnate Forme. As Charizard got back to his feet by putting all his energy into it, he was greeted by a surprise. Ash "Charizard, look out" Ash warned but he couldn''t do anything, Landorus crashed into Charizard''s stomach and sent him flying through the air, Charizard flew past Ash and crashed into the wall, the walls of the stadium cracked up like webs. Charizard seems to be nted into the wall, his body then slowly peeled itself off and fell on the ground, the referee rushed towards Charizard to check his condition. Referee "Charizard is unable to battle, Landorus wins, hence the winner of this battle is Trainer Yesh" The referee announced as he noticed Charizard was knocked out. Ash looked at Charizard in surprise and clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in frustration, he lost again, and this time in the semifinals, he was also very close to winning but Yesh had a stronger pokemon, he couldn''t do anything. He finally sighed and epted his defeat before walking towards Charizard and hugging him. Ash "Thank you, you did great" He said and hugged Charizard, Charizard woke up and looked at Ash, he is also a little disappointed that he lost, he roared loudly to release his anger and frustration as well. Charizard wanted to be stronger than ever, he wanted to help Ash win and he is now more determined than ever to win. The audience who were silent for a while finally started to cheer and p, not only for Yesh but also for Ash, Ash put up another great battle for them and they were grateful for it. Julian also pped while sitting inside his room and smiled. Julian ''Looks like it''s Yesh then!'' He thought and wondered about his next battle which is against Dhrago. Julian ''But I need to deal with that bastard first'' Julian thought and got up from his seat, his battle will begin in two hours as the league needs to repair the stadium that is in ruin right now, it is rather more of a recement than a repair. Somewhere else in the stadium, Dhrago is looked at the battlefield with a crazy look on his face. Dhrago "Hahahaha, this boy, he is better than I expected, they did a great job, once I deal with this so-called unbeatable trainer I will see how good this boy really is, hahahahaha" Dhrago said andughed, Yesh seems to have grabbed his attention but forpletely different reasons that only he knows. Ash got back to his feet and sent Charizard back to his Pokeball and looked at his Pikachu who is sitting on his shoulder. Ash "This time we failed but next time we won''t, let''s work harder" He said and encouraged Pikachu, Pikachu who also looked disappointed cheered up seeing Ash determined as well. Yesh didn''t stay around, he sent Landorus back to its Pokeball and walked away, he didn''t want to wait around as he needs to prepare for the finals against Julian. He knows Julian cannot lose to someone like Dhrago, he is too predictable of an opponent for Julian, Yesh did a lot of research on both Ash and Dhrago as he could have faced anyone of them in the semi-finals but he got Ash. He did look into Dhrago as well and found him very predictable, the only thing about Dhrago was his pokemons, they were very powerful for this league''s standard but Yesh could have defeated him with some calctions and nning, at the end of the day, he is even better at it than Julian. Chapter 940 - Postponed With the first round of the Semifinaling to an end, it created a massive wave of news both in mainstream media and the inte, Yesh moving to the finals is now known to the entire world and they are pretty excited about it. They all wondered who he is going to face in the finals, Julian or Dhrago, most of them still believed Julian is going to win but to everyone''s surprise, there are many who believe Dhrago is going to win this time, they believe that Dhrago is the one. ?? With the massive amount of fame Julian has gathered throughout his journey, he also gathered a lot of haters, people who are ready to just shit on his name when he falls from the pedestal he is standing on. Once he falls they will never stop and these people hope Julian will lose. Julian didn''t have anything else to do other than wait for two hours before the second round of the semifinals starts, he decided to look around the city before the second round starts. He walked around the city and bought a few things for his fianc¨¦es, he also has Dhrago on his mind, he wondered how he should deal with Dhrago, his current pokemons are not as strong as Dhrago''s pokemon''s level so overpowering them won''t be an option unless he uses his Haxorus, Darmanitan or Escavalier. These three are his strongest, he could also use Victini and Garchomp in the following battle andpletely embarrass Dhrago. Since Dhrago likes to destroy his opponents with brute force, Julian thought he should do the same. Julian ''Even though I would want to drag this battle and make him suffer from my own hands, the best way to destroy his ego ispletely embarrassing him in front of the whole world'' Julian thought and smiled, he knows these kinds of people a lot, they feel above everyone because they have power and the best way to destroy them mentally is to make them look like chumps in front of the whole world. Dhrago made a huge mistakeing to Unova league and doing the things he did and now Julian is going to make him rethink his every action. As he was walking through the city, he suddenly received a message on his phone. Julian ''Hmm?'' He took out his phone and looked at the message he just got, after reading the message he was surprised as he was just told that his battle has been postponed to tomorrow. It looks like the battle between Yesh and Ash caused more damage than expected, the battlefield has beenpletely destroyed and the mechanisms that were under the battlefield that reces the battlefield got damaged in the process. The league didn''t expect this to happen so they had to postpone the battle for tomorrow and work fast to fix the stadium. Julian shook his head in disappointment, he actually wanted to destroy Dhrago but now he will have to wait for a day. _____________________ Somewhere else in the city, Dhrago is looking at his phone while his hands are shaking in anger, he then crushes his phone with his might and mmed it to the ground. Dhrago "Fuck, fuck, fuck, those stupid idiots, can''t they just build a better stadium" Dhrago seemed furious, there seems to be madness in his eyes. Dhrago "...Hmm, well one day it is then, tomorrow, I will finally put an end to that brat and enjoy the process" He said and started tough like a maniac. _____________________ While the whole world was going crazy and shitting on the league for postponing the second battle of the semifinals, somewhere else in a farawaynd, inside a secret building, few people are looking at the screen in front of them. "It looks like the test subject has learned a lot!" One of them said. "Indeed, he did learn a lot, if the test subject continues to progress at this rate, we will have a weapon strong enough to take down our opposition once and for all!" Another one said. "What about him, he will be troublesome if he decides to step in!" Another one said while pointing at Julian on the tv screen. "The test subject has learned from him, give him some time and the test subject will outss even him!" The man who sat in the middle said with a smile. "If you say so boss" The others looked at the main man and nodded their head. "Looks like the second round is postponed to tomorrow, we have nothing to do here!" A man sitting in the corner said walked out as he had no interest in the current conversation. The others tried to stop him but the main man stopped them. "Let him go, he is right, there is nothing left, you should all leave ande back tomorrow, we will see how ''HE'' does tomorrow" The main man said and got up from his chair and walked away as well, soon the others followed him and left as well. Chapter 941 - Semi-Finals Second Round Julian spent most of his day walking around the city sightseeing, he didn''t train his pokemons because he wanted to give them some rest before their battle in the finals, as for Dhrago he doesn''t care much about him as he ns to do something he has never done in previous leagues he participated in. The next day arrived and even though people were angry, they soon forgot about it and got hyped for the battle, people love Julian and they would never miss his battles. ?? Julian also woke up and got ready for his battle, he put on a new ck coat he bought yesterday and headed towards the grand stadium, just like every other time there were many people gathered around the grand stadium as they tried to make their way in and get themselves a seat to sit. Julian entered through the back door and made his way to the waiting room and waited for his call, he could already hear the sound of people screaming, asking for the battle to start. He then heard the announcer hyping up the crowd and giving details about the participants of this battle. He tried his best to hype up Dhrago and Julian, on the other hand, needed no introduction, by now everyone knows how good he really is. Announcer "Let''s not wait any longer than, let the second round of the semi-finals begin, the first trainer, please wee DHRAGOOOOO" The announcer called out Dhrago''s name and people started to scream their lungs out, some cheered while others booed but with the number of people gathered here one couldn''t tell how the audience really felt. Dhrago walked out into the battlefield with a smug look on his face, he looked at the people who were cheering for him and smiled at them, but it was not a smile of happiness, it was a smile of superiority, he looked down on this people, looked at them like ants who know nothing about him. He sees them as mindless idiots who would follow anyone powerful no matter his or her ways. Dhrago ''Hahaha, I just can''t wait to crush that bastard, what are we waiting for bring him out'' He thought and started to breathe heavily, he is getting excited about this battle. Announcer "Next, the other trainer, please wee JULIAANNNN" The announcer called Julian and the crowd went wild, they then saw Julian walk out to the battlefield with a smile on his face, his fans went crazy as they saw him, they cheered his name as loud as they could so that the whole city could hear it. Julian waved at him. Dhrago who was watching this clicked his tongue with coldness in his eyes. Dhrago ''Just wait as I remove that smile off your face and make you suffer mentally as you watch your pokemons slowly get dismantled by mine'' Dhrago thought and smiled, his sadistic nature wasing out and he couldn''t hide it, Julian of course noticed this and looked straight into Dhrago''s eyes. He didn''t say anything and just looked coldly at Dhrago. Dhrago who was staring at Julian suddenly felt something change, he could feel the eyes of a predator on him, he looked around before finally looking at Julian once again, he felt his heart going crazy which caused an even wider smile to appear on his face. Dhrago ''Hahahahaha, this feeling, I thought it was just some chump with powerful pokemon but it looks like I was wrong, this is going to be more fun, to destroy someone as strong as him, to hunt down a predator'' Dhrago''s excitement reached his limits as he looked at Julian. Julian "Tell me, do you enjoy what you do?" Julian asked. Dhrago "Hehehahahaaaa, what kind of question even is that? Of course, I love every second of it, their despair puts a smile on my face, hehehehahahahahaaa" He said andughed. Julian "I see... Too bad you are not going to enjoy even a second of this battle" Julian said. Dhrago "Hehehe, what makes you think that?" He asked as he is amused by Julian''s confidence. Instead of replying to Dhrago, Julian lifted one of his hands and showed his five fingers to Dhrago. Julian "You won''tst five minutes on this battlefield with me, to me you are just a weak trainer who uses strong pokemons to bully the weak" Dhrago "Hehehe, is there a rule that says I cannot use stronger pokemon?" He asked. Julian "Indeed, there is no such rule and that is why this battle is going to be fun" Julian said and finally smiled. Seeing the smile on Julian''s face Dhrago got pissed, it ticked him off somehow, he wanted to annoy Julian but it looks like he was not having any effect on Julian. Julian "Referee, you should start the battle, no need to waste my precious time" He said while looking at the referee, the referee nodded and started to exin the rules of this battle, there were the same rules as the previous battle, a six on six pokemon battle where the trainer can switch their pokemons if they want to and the person who will still have pokemon left with them at the end of the battle will win. Dhrago "Finally, I have been waiting for this moment, I will enjoy this, hehehahaha" He said and took out a Pokeball. Julian "You know what? I will give you a handicap, I will send out my pokemon first and I won''t even bother to counter-attack the first move you throw at my pokemon" Julian said with a smile. Julian "So let''s get this started then" He said and threw a Pokeball into the battlefield. Chapter 942 - Julian Vs Dhrago (1) Julian threw the Pokeball into the battlefield and sent out his first pokemon on the battlefield, the Pokeball opened up, and Julian''s first pokemon entered the battlefield and stared at Dhrago with his cold eyes. His ck scales shone under the sunlight while his fangs looked dangerously sharp. ?? Garchomp''s presence caused everyone to be silent, even the crowd, just Garchomp''s presence was enough to make them look at him in awe. Julian had never done this before, using the same pokemon from the previous league, this was just a one-time thing to deal with Dhrago quickly. Dhrago looked at Julian''s Garchomp and knew that he is a powerful pokemon but he really doesn''t know the limits of Garchomp''s real power. Dhrago "Hehehe, are you sure, you want to give me a handicap, don''t you think you are being a little too overconfident?" Dhrago asked. Julian "Me overconfident? Never, I just don''t see you as someone capable of challenging me, you are just a bug" Julian said with a smile on his face, he didn''t give a shit about Dhrago, Dhrago clenched his fists as he heard Julian, throughout the whole league he has shown to the world how destructive his methods really are and how powerful his pokemons are, but this young man standing in front of him is still looking at him like some insect. He didn''t understand but he also felt that the reward will be much greater when he finally takes down this arrogant young man who is looking down on him, a creepy smile creeps upon his face as he looks at Julian. Dhrago "I hope you keep your words and don''t me me, hehehahaha" Julian "Go on, select your pokemon, I am waiting, remember only five minutes, I have only five minutes, after this I want to go and get some massage, my shoulders are a little sore " Julian said while grabbing onto his shoulder and giving it a twist, this, of course, was pissing of Dhrago even more, he started to hate Julian from his core, at the beginning he just wanted to embarrass Julian and shatter his confidence but now Dhrago wants to make it personal, he wants to make Julian''s pokemonpletely handicapped for life. Dhrago "Hahaha, fine, Walrein you are up" Dhrago sent out his pokemon. A massive Walrein entered the battlefield field and let out a powerful battle cry, just its presence started to change the surrounding as the temperature started to drop at a rapid pace. The referee looked at both trainers since they have chosen their pokemon and asked them if they are ready to battle, once he got an OK from both parties, he started the battle with a wave of his g. Referee "Then, let the battle begin" As soon as he gave the call, Dhragoughed and made his first move. Dhrago "Hahaha, don''t me me for crushing your Garchomp, me yourself for looking down on me, Walrein use Blizzard, full power" Blizzard is one of the most powerful Ice Type moves and it canpletely freeze an opponent''s pokemon to death if they are powerful enough and seeing how strong Dhrago''s Walrein is, it should be a piece of cake for it to freeze a pokemon to death but this time it is facing a different monster. Even though Garchomp''s four times weakness to Ice, he won''t go down. Walrein roared and suddenly the surrounding started to change, ice started to form out of thin air and started to blow around as a snowstorm soon covered the whole battlefield, and just like Julian promised he didn''t make a move and just watched. Dhrago saw this and started tough at Julian''s madness. Dhrago "Are you dumb? Are you so over your head that you won''t counter even after I use a blizzard, do you want to get your pokemon killed? Hahaha, I have seen many crazy bastards who are over their head but you, you are apletely different breed, you are delusional, hehehahaha" Dhrago started tough as he saw the Blizzard slowly doing its job, he could see Ice forming around Garchomp as he crossed his arms to block his eyes, the snowstorm is very powerful, powerful enough for the stadium''s defense to be activated and this is just the very first attack of this battle. The audience is also surprised by Julian''s actions, they wondered if all the fame and victory has gone into his head and he is looking down on Dhrago who is clearly a very powerful opponent. Dhrago continued tough as he saw Julian''s Garchomppletely getting covered by Ice, now he is stuck inside a thickyer of ice which soon started to grow into the size of a massive boulder, the blizzard finally stopped and the oue of the attack was clearly visible to everyone inside the Grand Stadium. They all could see a massive boulder of Ice and right inside this massive boulder of ice, right in the middle is the ck Garchomppletely frozen on the spot. Soon the cold will cause him to go into hypothermia and with the supply of oxygen cut of to Garchomp, he will go into shock and might even die. Dhrago "Hahaha, see that! Your foolish actions have led to this, you killed your own pokemon by your own foolish decisions, how do you feel? Do you feel sadness, anger, regret?" He asked andughed. Dhrago "Come on tell me, I want to see the despair in your eyes, show me what I want, hahahaha" Dhrago started tough like manic. Chapter 943 - Julian Vs Dhrago (2) Everyone in the Grand Stadium went silent as they looked at Dhrago, they always thought that he was a little wild but seeing him acting like this, they started to have second thoughts. Even the ones who were supporting him had a bad taste in their mouth as they heard his words, they realized that this man is a psycho. ?? Dhragoughed andughed as he looked at Julian''s Garchomp inside the ice boulder, he then looked at Julian and suddenly noticed that Julian was not only just as calm as before, he also had a smile on his face. He stopped smiling and looked at Julian in confusion. Dhrago "What are you smiling at? Are you sick, don''t you regret your decision?" He asked. Julian "Regret? Why should I regret anything? Is that everything you have?" Julian asked. Dhrago "What do you mean? Your Garchomp is almost dead, you think you cane out of this?" He asked confused. Julian "Garchomp let''s make our move then" Julian said. Suddenly the massive ice boulder started to tremor, cracks started to form inside the boulder around Garchomp, these cracks soon spread all across the boulder within a second, and right at the next moment, it burst. Massive ice shards went flying everywhere, some of them even hit Walrein as there was no escape from them. Dhrago''s eye went wide as they saw this, he saw Julian''s Garchomp just standing there with smokeing off his body, it was as if he wasn''t faced at all. It was not that Garchomp is not affected by Ice, the Ice from Walrein was too weak to cause real damage to Garchomp, he hase a long way from hisst fight against Kyurem, under Julian''s training both of them battled a lot. Battling with Kyurem all the time made him more resistant to normal ice, he was more used to getting hurt by ice-type attacks from Kyurem as they were more cold and powerful than this. Dhrago "But how?" He eximed but it was toote. Julian "End it, use Dragon Rush" Garchomp crossed his arms and roared, his roar caused the whole stadium to tremble as he started to channel his destructive dragon energy, blue energy started to form around him and turn into a massive energy dragon, this energy dragon is five times bigger than Garchomp himself. The energy dragon roared and charged towards Walrein with Garchomp inside it. Dhrago saw thising and decided to counter. Dhrago "Use Giga Impact" His Walrein started to sweat as it saw the energy dragon heading towards it, it didn''t want to listen to Dhrago and confront this monster but it had no choice, it let out a battle cry and mmed its thick body on the ground, and rushed towards Garchomp using Giga Impact. As the two attacks were about to collide, the massive energy dragon opened its jaw wide andpletely swallowed Walrein with its Giga Impact, soon a massive explosion followed. Julian predicted this and already set up a barrier of Omniforce around the stadium which people couldn''t see, the stadium''s defense was also activated under a second. The explosion was so powerful that it could have shattered the stadium''s defense, thanks to Julian''s Omniforce reinforcing it, no one got hurt. The explosion was followed by a thunderous sound, the sound was so loud that people had to cover their ears and close their eyes in reflex, the sound scared the shit out of them. The very next moment, a massive body shot through the stadium passing right next to Dhrago within a second and mming into the wall. As the explosion died down everyone could see the Walrein nted deep into the wallpletely knocked out. The whole stadium was silent for a few seconds before they burst into massive cheer, they went crazy as they had never seen such feet of power in a league, ever before, this is the first time they felt this, even the barrier couldn''t stop them from feeling it, even though it stopped the explosion, they could still feel the vibration. The whole city shook from that explosion. Dhrago''s mouth went dry, his one eye wide, he couldn''t process what just happened, he looked at Garchomp, then turned back to look at his Walrein, he once again turned and looked at Julian who was smiling. Julian "Not even a minute and one of your pokemon is already down, hurry and send out your next pokemon, I don''t want you to waste my time" Julian said mocking Dhrago. Dhrago''s whole body was shaking, just a second before he felt he was going to die, his Walrein passed him by a hair inch, if it had crashed into him at such speed, he would have been sttered all over that wall, his body would have painted the wall red. Dhrago ''This must be a fluke, some kind of trick, nobody should be this powerful'' He thought and looked at Julian who is still smiling. Julian "I am waiting, as I said before, only five minutes, I want to go back to my hotel room" Julian said once again reminding Dhrago to send out his next pokemon. The smug look on Dhrago''s face disappeared and got reced with fear, he sent Walrein back to its Pokeball and took out his next Pokeball. Dhrago ''Yes, it must be a fluke, he can''t defeat me so easily, I am Dhrago, I am going to destroy him'' He started to go into denial and sent out his next pokemon. Chapter 944 - Julian Vs Dhrago (3) Dhrago sent out his next pokemon, he was still in denial as he couldn''t believe how fast his Walrein was taken down, he believed it to be a fluke, a critical hit might be the reason behind it. All these thoughts ran inside his mind, his next pokemon entered the battlefield, it was Hitmonlee. ?? His Hitmonlee entered the battlefield and started to kick the air, its powerful kicks vibrated the air, it tried to intimidate Garchomp, but Garchomp looked at it as if it''s just a brat. Dhrago "Use High Jump Kick" Dhrago didn''t wait around and went for the big moves from the very beginning, his Hitmolee moved very fast, so fast that normal people couldn''t see its movements. Julian "Counter with Iron Tail" Julian and Garchomp on the other hand saw this attacking before, Dhrago could even make a move, both of them were anticipating Dhrago''s move. As Hitmonlee took air and crashed towards Garchomp with its leg aimed at him, Garchomp nted himself to the ground and swung his whole body putting a lot of power behind his tail, metal energy formed around his tail and hardened it like steel. The two attacks collided, Hitmonlee''s powerful leg crashed into Garchomp''s tail but to Hitmonlee''s surprise, its leg suddenly bentpletely while its knee touched its stomach, the tail then slipped through its leg and mmed into Hitmonlee''s stomach. Hitmonlee''s eyes went wide and its vision blurred as it was sent shooting through the sky towards the crowd, the stadium''s defense activated again and Hitmonlee crashed into the forcefield, its body then fell to the ground motionless. The referee checked on it and called out the result. Referee "Hitmonlee is unable to battle, Garchomp wins" Julian "Wow that only took 20 seconds,e one send out your next pokemon" Julian said and beckoned Dhrago to send out his next pokemon, Dhrago seems to be in a state of shock, he cannot process what is happening, soon his denial turned into anger. Dhrago "Why? Why did you have to bring a powerful pokemon, can''t you battle me like a man?" He asked Julian while shouting in anger. Julian "Look who is talking, didn''t you do the same with all your opponents, battling them with pokemons way above their league and on top of that you didn''t even do that good, your pokemons got knocked out by weaker ones, this just shows you are nothingpared to others'' Julian mocked. Dhrago "HOW DARE YOU? I WILL DESTROY YOU" He shouted and sent out another pokemon to the battlefield andpletely ignored his fallen Hitmonlee, seeing this, some of the officials who were around the edge to maintain the safety of the stadium quickly moved in to remove Hitmonlee from the battlefield. Dhrago''s next pokemon is Medicham, Julian had seen this one in action before but it really didn''t matter. Julian "Go on, do your thing" Julian mocked him once again Dhrago "Medicham, use Psycho Cut" Dhrago''s voice is loud and filled with anger, hemands his Medicham to make this move without holding back, he wanted his Medicham to kill his opponent''s pokemon. Medicham rushed towards Garchomp with full speed while its arms glow purplish-pink in color, they soon form long scythe-like des and it swung them at Garchomp with intent to kill, so there was nothing holding back Medicham frommitting murder right now if it was not against Julian''s Garchomp. Julian "Dragon w" As Medicham swung its Psycho Cut at Garchomp, Garchomp manifested a massive blue energy w and stopped Medicham right in its track, Medicham felt so powerless against this counter that it froze on the spot, then Garchomp powered another Dragon w and smashed Medicham''s head hard. The impact of this attack created a powerful shockwave and caused Medicham''s whole body to spin in the air multiple times in the same spot before its head got nted deep into the ground. This was brutal and people could only watch in silence, they had never seen such feet of strength before. The referee looked at Medicham and didn''t even hesitate for a second before calling out his result. Referee "Medicham is unable to battle, Garchomp wins" The crowd went crazy as soon as they heard the result, this was like a dream to them, they thought that Dhrago was going to be a tough challenge for Julian but he was sweeping through Dhrago''s whole team with just his Garchomp. They also started to dislike Dhrago as it was very clear that he is mentally dysfunctional and a psychopath, they enjoyed this thrashing. Julian "That''s three down in two minutes, just like I said, this battle won''tst for five minutes" Julian once again lifted his arm and showed his five fingers to Dhrago, mocking him. Dhrago "This is not fair, you think of yourself as some great trainer but you clearly using pokemons that are way stronger, If you really are that strong of a trainer why don''t you ept my challenge, right here, right now" Hearing Dhrago''s words intrigued Julian. Julian "Go on, I am listening" Dhrago "Face two of my pokemons at the same time" He said with a sadistic smile on his face, hearing his request cause everyone to frown, even the audience. Julian "That''s all? Why not, send out two pokemons if you want" Julian epted the challenge but before Dhrago could send in his two pokemons, the referee suddenly interrupted. Referee "As per rules, there can only be two pokemons present on the battlefield, neither party can send out more than one pokemon at the same time during a battle" He said. Julian "I don''t really mind at all, tell the officials, its a special request from me" Julian said while looking at the referee, the referee looked at Julian for a second before contacting the league''s officials, the referee talked for a second beforeing up to a conclusion. Chapter 945 - Julian Vs Dhrago (4) The referee and the officials soon came to a conclusion and when the call ended, the referee looked at both Julian and Dhrago before changing the rules. Referee "The rules of this battle will be changed from here on, both trainers are allowed to send in two pokemons at the same time, this rule is not mandatory so a trainer can choose to have single pokemon on the battlefield if he wants to" ?? With the referee''s announcement, the battle started again. Hearing the referee''s announcement, the crowd went crazy along with the announcer. Announcer "Did you hear thatdies and gentlemen, now a trainer can have two pokemons on the battlefield at the same time, so will Julian keep to his word and only use Garchomp or will he send out another pokemon to even the odds?" The announcer asked the audience to which the audience just shouted, nobody could understand what they want because the words just got muffled along with their screams and shout. Back on the battlefield, Dhrago was surprised by Julian''s eptance of his challenge and he was happy about it, he purposefully asked Julian to ept the challenge, he realized that his opponent is a prideful one and he won''t back down. What surprised him was the league epting this challenge and changing the rules of this battle but he didn''t need to care about their motives. He has perfect pokemons for this scenario, he trained these two pokemons to be the perfect assassins, their teamwork is perfect and they can take down pokemons twice as strong as them with their teamwork. Dhrago smiled and sent out his two pokemons into the battlefield. Dhrago "Honchkrow, Crobat, you are up" These two pokemons entered the battlefield and started to sore the sky and circle around Garchomp and looked at him as if he is their prey, they were like birds of prey waiting to pounce and kill. Dhrago "Don''t go back on your words now, hehahahaha" He said andughed. Julian "Go on make your move, I won''t send out another pokemon" He said and waited for Dhrago to make his move. Dhrago "Honchkrow, use Brave Bird. Crobat, from behind, Air sh" Dhrago went for a double-sided attack, no pokemon could defend itself from two directions at the same time and he was going to use this opportunity and defeat Julian''s Garchomp, he was so lost in this thought that he even forgot that Julian still has five other pokemons who have not been introduced. Honchkrow dove down towards Garchomp at very high speed using Brave Bird, a very powerful flying-type physical attack. Crobat on the other hand got behind Garchomp''s back and used Air sh, a powerful flying type special type attack but not as strong as the Brave Bird, but this was indeed a perfectbination attack. While Garchomp has a strong physical defense, Brave Bird being the stronger physical attack will be able to get past his defense, Garchomp''s special defense on the other hand is not as good as his physical defense so the Air sh can deal a lot of damage as well. Dhrago smiled as he saw this, he wondered what Julian is going to do to counter this. Julian "Grab Honchkrow using Dragon w and toss it at Crobat" Hearing Julian''smand, Garchomp suddenly burst forward using Dragon w, a massive w made of blue energy formed around his right arm and he suddenly caught the Brave Birding towards him. The Brave Bird seemed strong but to Garchomp, it was nothing, hepletely stopped the Brave Bird in the exact spot and grabbed onto Honchkrow with it, he then turned around very fast and locked onto Crobat. He then pulled his arm back to create as much power as he could and tossed Honchkrow at Crobat like a baseball pitcher at speed simr to the speed of sound. Honchkrow got hit by the Air sh and got knocked out but it continued forward and mmed into Crobat who could only see a blur before its body got flung through the air and crashed into the stadium''s protection forcefield. Both pokemons crashed into the ground knocked out cold, the audience was in shock once again, they stared at Garchomp and couldn''t believe what he just did, they couldn''t even believe that a Dragon w can be used as a hand. Dhrago was speechless, his eyes filled with shock as he felt despair, he couldn''t believe what is happening right now. Referee "Honchkrow and Crobat are unable to battle, Garchomp wins" Now he has only one pokemon left, five of his pokemons are down and it has not even been four minutes. Julian "Five down, one to go, sent out your next pokemon, I want to set a world record" Julian said. Dhrago "Huh?" Dhrago couldn''t process anything right now, he just took out a Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon, an Aerodactyl, a very powerful pokemon, but Dhrago looked like a depressed person who just found out that he was being cucked by several men at the same time. He couldn''t even keep his attention on the battlefield. Julian "Garchomp, time to end this, Dragon Rush" Garchomp locked onto the Aerodactyl that just entered the battlefield and burst forward, blue destructive energybined and formed a massive energy dragon around him, the energy dragon then shot towards Aerodactyl ready to end this battle. Aerodactyl who just entered the battlefield and wondered what is going on but to its surprise it suddenly saw a massive energy dragon heading towards it, its eyes went wide as it tried to dodge it but it was toote, the massive energy dragon opened its jaws wide open and mmed it shut on top of Aerodactyl and exploded. Aerodactyl could be seen shooting down to the ground followed by a trail of smoke and crashed hard deep into the ground, knocked out cold. Dhrago saw this and suddenly went to his knees as his whole body trembled in fear and despair. Dhrago "I lost" He whispered while looking at the ground. Chapter 946 - After The Semi-Finals As Dhrago''sst pokemon got knocked out he went on his knees, his thought processpletely lost, he couldn''tprehend anything. Dhrago "I lost" ? ? Dhrago finally epted his defeat, in these five minutes of the battle, he went through the five stages of grief. First, he was in denial, then he became angry, then he bargained against Julian, then he got depressed, and now he is in eptance. The referee looked at Aerodactyl and noticed that it got knocked out as well. Referee "Aerodactyl is unable to battle, Garchomp wins, hence the winner of this battle and the person who will be heading to the finals is trainer Julian" The referee announced. With his announcement the crowd went wild as they witnessed the magnificent thing, they witnessed aplete clean sweep with just one pokemon under five minutes, this is a world record, the crowd is going crazy as Julian''s name echoed all over the grand stadium and throughout the city. Julian smiled and looked at Dhrago with a mocking gaze. Julian "What did I say, only five minutes. Heck, it didn''t even take me five minutes topletely destroy you, you are nothing but a chump who relies on their pokemon''s strength and has nothing to contribute to the battle, it was like I was battling against a child with no experience" Julian mocked Dhrago once again, applying thest bit of salt on his open wound which is his ego. Dhrago looked at Julian with anger, he eyes are bloodshot and his body trembling in rage, he wants to choke Julian to death. Julian''s smile irritated him, he wanted to stab Julian and cut off his lips so that he won''t be able to smile again, he wanted to gouge out Julian''s eyes, those eyes that looked down and mocked him. Julian shook his head in disappointment and sent Garchomp back to his Pokeball and left, he did what he wanted to do, he put Dhrago''s name in history, the person who got his whole team destroyed in under five minutes, Dhrago''s world record will always be remembered but that will still be shadowed by Julian''s record which is being the winner of this battle and setting the world record of the fastest league win in a six on six pokemon battle. Julian put Dhrago in his shadow from which he can never get out, this was the ultimate humiliation one could suffer if that person is like Dhrago, an arrogant, overconfident, ruthless person who is over his head and looks down on others, now he will be looked down by the whole world by being the biggest loser in the league''s history. The crowd continued to cheer even after Julian walked away, they then started to boo the shit out of Dhrago as they saw him slowly crawling away, Dhrago clicked his tongue in anger and gritted his teeth, he wants to kill Julian. Dhrago "You made his personal, I am going to kill you and drink your blood" Dhrago said while making his way out of the battlefield. ________________________ Somewhere else in the world, inside a secret room, a group of people is looking at the screen with shock and surprise written all over their faces. "Is that even possible?" One of them asked. "Of course, it is, we just saw it, what a monster!" Another one said. "He boasted a lot but couldn''t even hold up for five seconds!" Another one said. "How do you think the test subject will perform against him?" Another one asked "If he doesn''t use that Garchomp, the test subject should be able to give him a tough challenge!" The lead man said. "But still how can a pokemon be that strong? It was as powerful as a legendary" Another one said. "Indeed, this man will be trouble, we should eliminate him before hees across us, with the rtionships he is maintaining we will soone across him!" Another one said. "Don''t worry, it''s just one pokemon, for a pokemon to reach such power is very hard, we have weapons powerful enough to kill legendaries, we will use them if it reallyes to that" The main man said. "Are you sure about it? Those weapons are not reliable" One of them asked while looking at the main man. "That is why we have our test subject, those weapons are justst resort options, our main weapon will be those test subjects!" The main man said. "I understand!" The one who asked the question said and looked back at the screen where the highlights were being shown. _________________________ Back in Unova, inside the Grand Stadium, Yesh was also looking at the screen. Yesh "That is one way of dealing with nuisance" He said and processed the battle between Dhrago and Julian, he simted the battle inside his mind but he couldn''t find any way in which Dhrago could havested more than five minutes, he then switched ces with Dhrago and simted a battle where he is battling Garchomp but he also got the same results. His whole team would get destroyed in under five minutes, even with his Landorus won''t survive a single hit from Julian''s Garchomp, Yesh always knew that Julian''s previous pokemons are very powerful but he never got to see them in action and now he finally did. He also knows that Garchomp is nowhere near as strong as Julian''s other pokemons, especially his big three, even though Yesh is foreign to most emotions, whenever he got close to Julian''s big three, he would feel a chill down his spine, the big three being Infernape, Gengar, and Snox. These three are the most mysterious pokemon in Julian''s team ording to Yesh, what he doesn''t know is that Julian has more of these monsters roaming around on a massive ind near Kanto. In fact, only a few people know about this dangerous ind, them being Professor Oak, Jimi, and the president of the league. But Yesh is not wrong as well, the big three of Julian''s team really are the big three, his strongest pokemons. Yesh wondered what will happen if these three unleash their power at the same time. Chapter 947 - Getting Ready For The Finals The world was ready for the Unova league finals, on one side is the new prodigy, the dark horse of the league, Yesh, who has shown to the world how strong he really is. And on the other hand, is Julian, the peak of the mountain that no one is able to topple yet, people wondered if this time he will fall from his grace and a new undefeated, undisputed champion will rise up in the name of Yesh. ?? People are still doubtful though, after seeing Julian''s Garchomp in the semifinals, people were skeptical if Yesh has what is needed to take down Julian, he has strong pokemons but they are no way near Garchomp''s strength. He has fast pokemon but they are nowhere near Garchomp''s speed. He is also very calctive but is it enough for him to ovee the monster that is Garchomp, people believed that Julian would use Garchomp at the end of the battle if he loses all his other pokemon and still wins the league. They are not wrong, if he did that, he would win easily. ____________________ Julian who is resting in his room looked at thismotion that is going around the inte and just sighed, he couldn''t be bothered with it, the finals are in two days and he needs to make sure that his pokemons are in perfect shape for their battle. He decided to go and train them and walked out of his hotel room and as soon as he did, he got swarmed by reporters and got cameras shoved at his face, he was almost blinded for a second by the sh from these cameras. Chaos ensued as they started to question Julian about everything they wanted to ask. Julian "Everyone, calm down, one question at a time" He said and calmed the reporters down. "Julian, what do you think about your opponent in the finals?" One of them asked. Julian "He is an interesting kid isn''t he, I think he will be a great opponent" Julian answered. "Why do you think so?" Another one asked. Julian "Why? Didn''t you see his battles, he did a very good job" Julian answered. "Julian, how is your Garchomp so strong, does it have some kind of special powers?" One of them asked. Julian "My Garchomp has no special powers, it''s just very hard training, and regr rests." "Mr. Julian, what is your reason being using your Garchomp, it was very clear that it was stronger than any of your opponent''s pokemon?" Another one asked. Julian "My reason? I felt like it. since my opponent was doing that the whole league, I thought it would be nice to give him the taste of his own medicine." He answered. "Mr. Julian, will you use your Garchomp again in the finals?" Another one asked. Julian "No, I won''t, it was just a one-time thing" "Julian, do you have a message for your opponent in the finals?" One of them asked while cing the mic in front of Julian''s mouth. Julian "Yesh, I hope you give your best in our battle! Likest time, I won''t go easy on you" Julian said. "What do you mean byst time? Have you battled before?" One reported asked. Julian "I think that''s enough question for the day, I need to leave" Julian said and ignored all the questions thrown at him, he got on his bike and rode away leaving the reports behind, since Julian left, the reporters had nothing to do but leave, their next target is Yesh, they wanted to now question Yesh about his rtionship with Julian and if they have met in the past. ______________________ Julian found an empty spot in a nearby forest and began his training, he looked at his pokemons and wondered who should he use for this battle against Yesh. Yesh is a very strong trainer and Julian has seen his progress with his own eyes, so there is no way Julian is looking down on Yesh. After choosing the six pokemons he is going to use, he put them through some physical training, he didn''t put them through hell because they will have to battle in two days, he wanted them to be at their peak condition in the finals so he stuck with light physical exercise and stretches. He also focused on training them on their energy and how to channel them properly, for this he was lucky to have Infernape and Gengar as demonstrators. Things went smoothly for Julian and his pokemons, they all seem to be ready for the finals and Julian is ready to im another league trophy. _______________________ Yesh was also busy with his training, just like Julian, he also didn''t overwork his pokemons, he knew that they need to be in peak condition if they want tost against Julian''s pokemons. He knew Julian better than anyone as he spent months with him, Yesh already predicted which pokemons Julian is going to use so he set his team on that basis, and just to be safe, he also trained two extra pokemons if Julian makes an unpredicted choice. Yesh is ready for this battle and he wants to win, he wanted to fulfill his purpose. Chapter 948 - Assassination Attempt After the training session and feeding his pokemons, Julian made his way back to his hotel room, everything is peaceful as its midnight and most of the people in the hotel are asleep except the hotel workers. Some of them saw Julian and bowed before passing by him, he then made his way towards his room and opened the door, as soon as he did, he felt a cold breeze touching his face. ?? He blinked and looked at the dark room that was lit up by the faint light of the full mooning through the open window. Julian "Hm? I thought that I closed the window?" He questioned himself and walked into the room and closed the door behind him and smiled, he then tried to switch on the lights but it didn''t turn on. Julian "Why is it not working? I should call the management" He said and made his way towards the phone, as his back was turned a man suddenly appeared from the shadows and lunged at Julian with a dagger but before he could evene in contact with Julian, the man got suspended in mid-air. ck shadow tentacles wrapped around his arms, legs, and neck, the man''s eyes went wide as he saw this, he didn''t expect this to happen at all. He looked at Julian who slowly turned around and looked at him with a smile on his face, he couldn''t see Julian''s face properly as he was standing on the darker side of the room. Julian "Dhrago, good to see you again" Julian said and smiled looking at the man suspended in the air by Gengar, he couldn''t believe Dhrago would actuallye and try to assassinate him on his own. Julian had to give it to Dhrago though, a normal person would have never noticed his presence or could never dodge that attack from him, Dhrago was clearly a professional who has done assassinations before. Too bad for him, both Gengar and Julian noticed him as soon as they walked into the room. Dhrago "You...How did you find out?" He asked while struggling as the ck shadow tentacle was slowly squeezing his neck. Julian "Do you really think you could kill me just like that, you are not the first one who tried to do this, thest person who tried to kill me got eaten, I wonder what I should do to you?" Julian asked while holding his jaw as if he is in deep thought. Dhrago "Let go of me... What is this thing?" Dhrago tried to struggle out but it was of no use, nothing could escape Gengar. Julian "You don''t need to worry about that anymore, you will be going into prison after all, for attempted murder" Julian said with a smile. Dhrago "Hahaha, you really think a jail could lock me up forever, I am Dhrago, they can''t do shit to me" Dhrago boasted. Julian "From the sound of it, it looks like you have some powerful backing, am I right?" Julian asked. Dhrago "Of course, I have, I am part of the Underworld, the league would never dare to try something stupid by locking me up for too long!" Dhrago boasted. Julian "I see" Julian nodded. He realized that Dhrago is indeed right, from what he knows the league and the world governments are on a stalemate against the underworld, if anyone makes a wrong move, the world will go to war again and the league and the world governments don''t want that. That is why the underworld is so powerful, they are a group of powerful organizations formed into a single powerful faction that can rival all the world governments and the league. The league alone doesn''t have enough power to take on the underworld as a whole, if there is full-blown war, the whole world will go into a war. Julian realizes that the league won''t take such risks and release Dhrago soon after some negotiations with the Underworld. Julian "Then, it looks like I have to take matters into my own hands" Julian said and stepped forward, as he got closer to Dhrago, the moonlight hit Julian''s face and lightened it up, the light reflected from Julian''s eyes causing his eyes to glow crimson, seeing this a chill rand down Dhrago''s spine. Dhrago "What are you doing?" Dhrago panicked and asked. Julian "I want you a reminded and maybe the people running the underworld as well, never to mess with me and the people around me" Julian said and looked at Dhrago''s knee and kicked it hard, since Gengar was grabbing onto his legs tightly, one of them suddenly snapped. Dhrago screamed in pain as he felt his right leg snap, he looked down and saw his leg bone sticking out from his calf. Julian "Let him go" He ordered. The shadow tentacles retreated and Dhrago fell on the ground and screamed in pain while holding onto his leg, due to him shouting the hotel workers were rmed and they rushed towards Julian''s room. Julian walked out of the room and called the workers who were running towards him. Julian "I was about to get assassinated, in self-defense I broke his leg, go call the police" The hotel worker who was in front nodded and rushed away. Within a few minutes the police stormed into the hotel and barricaded the crime scene, they saw Dhrago rolling around the floor with his leg broken, they then looked at Julian wondering what happened. Julian just exined it to them and asked them to take Dhrago away, they nodded and brought a stretcher before taking him away. Julian "The room is all bloody now" He said as he looked at the bloody carpet. "Don''t worry Mr. Julian, we will get you a new room to rest for the night, please follow me" The manager of this hotel said and brought Julian away, two police officers took Julian''s statement and collected the dagger on the floor, Julian also called hiswyer and told him to handle the rest. Chapter 949 - The Finals The Incident about an assassin breaking into Julian''s room spread like wildfire the next day, the also identified the assassin to be Dhrago as well, this caused an uproar and people were furious. They were also d that nothing happened to Julian, they were actually surprised that the person who got hurt was not Julian but Dhrago who got his leg broken by Julian in self-defense. ?? This violence was involved, Julian could get in trouble but knowing who Julian is and with the intent of self-defense behind this incident, the court didn''t bother to trouble Julian and just put Dhrago in a hospital where his broken leg with either be attached by metal bars or he will get amputated depending on his condition. Since he was the assassin no one cared about him, the police also found CCTV footage of Dhrago climbing up the hotel using the pipelines which further helped Julian''s case, the rest was handled by Julian''swyer so there was nothing to worry about. Julian just needs to worry about his battle right now. The story about how a jealous insane person called Dhrago tried to kill Julian after losing to him in the semifinals of the Unova league spread all over the world, luckily for the underworld the news stations didn''t find out Dhrago''s real identity or the hidden underworld would have been brought to light. Julian also got texts from his fianc¨¦es as they were worried about him, he made sure that they don''t have to worry and he is fine, even though they know that nothing could happen to him, they were still concerned as they loved him a lot. Julian ignored all the other news and focused on his uing battle which is up against Yesh which is the day after tomorrow. ___________________ The day of the final is here and people are going crazy, they are excited, some of them couldn''t even sleep properly due to the excitement, people are talking only about this battle till this minute. They cannot hide the excitement as they are about to witness another massive battle, this is the finals of the biggest league till yet and no one ones to miss it, even the criminals were allowed to watch this battle in their jail cells. ___________________ Julian woke up as the sun rays hit his face, he got off his bed and stretched his arms, and looked at the clock in the room. Julian "I still have two hours" He said and yawned, he quickly finished his morning routine and gave his pokemons some lite breakfast so they don''t feel sick during the battle, once he and his pokemons were refreshed, he made his way towards the grand stadium. Like every other big-league battle, the grand stadium is surrounded by people from all over the world but this time, the crowd is evenrger, even the stadium has enough seats for all of them, the crowd decided to pay for tickets just to stand and watch the battle from the nosebleeds. Julian smiled and made his way into the grand stadium through the trainer''s gate, this pathway is only essible to staff and trainers, Julian greeted the guard with a smile and walked in. Once he was inside his waiting room, he sat down on the couch and smiled, he didn''t expect this at all, when he challenged the world, he expected he would face someonepletely unknown and very strong in the finals. He did face strong opponents and he was surprised by how strong they really were, especially Glen, he actually pushed four of Julian''s pokemon to the limits, Julian wondered how strong those pokemons in Glen''s care will be in the future. He then thought about his current opponent, the weird boy he met at a random pokemon park who asked him to be his teacher and teach him how to battle, Julian never expected he would be a teacher but he was proud of his student. He doesn''t show it to anyone but he is really proud of Yesh, seeing Yesh grow stronger by every day right in front of his eyes was surprised and thrilling at the same time, Julian had never seen someone so talented when it came to training pokemon. Yesh''s ability to pick up things and teach his pokemons was so rapid and fast, even Julian was surprised by it, it was as if Yesh is born to do it, he is blessed by god itself, if it was not for Julian''s past life experience and his mastery overbat, he would never be at where he is now. Omniforce helped Julian''s pokemon a lot but they didn''t do much, they only strengthened their muscles and gave them a boost, it was all Julian''s knowledge of fighting that was passed down to his pokemons for them to be so formidable on the battlefield. If Yesh had Julian''s experience he would be as good as Julian, he will only struggle in thetter part of his journey where his pokemons would reach levels that are hard to ovee. Julian on the other hand never suffered from this because of Omniforce, this is where it was the most helpful for his pokemons, the Omniforce helped them to ovee the levels at theter stage of their life. The only time they will really struggle is to break through the level 100 barrier, this level is very hard for even his pokemons to ovee, only a few of his pokemons have ovee this level, seven to be exact. Infernape, Snox, Gengar, Electivire, Gyarados, Heatran, Venusaur, only these seven have ovee the level 100 barrier and stepped into another realm of power, the others are still struggling, even some of his Hoenn pokemons have reached level 100 but they are still not close to breaking the barrier. Julian wondered if Yesh will ever be able to take his pokemon to their limit, if one day he is able to do it, he would want to battle it with his own level 100 pokemon to see the extent of Yesh. Julian then closed his eyes and emptied his mind, he stayed like this for an hour before finally opening his eyes. Julian "It''s time I guess". Chapter 950 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (1) Julian "It''s time, I guess" He said as he started to hear the voice of the announcer, the announcer began his announcement and started to introduce the special guests and other important figures who will watch this battle along with him. ?? Once he was done he started to introduce the trainers of this battle. Back inside Julian''s room, a man in a ck t-shirt and a cap walked in and informed Julian that its time, Julian nodded and followed the man towards the entrance of the battlefield and stood there waiting for his call. The announcer began the introduction. Announcer "The first trainer is young but strong, he became the ultimate dark horse of this tournament, he came from nowhere and rose through the rankings defeating every opponent that stood across him, and now he is finally here, on the grandest stage of them all to face off against the strongest ever, its Yesshhhhhhhh" Yesh was called in, fireworks blew and light up the bright sky, the entrance on the other side got covered with smoke and from the smoke came out Yesh, with his usual emotionless face. The crowd on the other hand didn''t care about this at all, they thought it is part of his charm, they cheered for him nheless. Yesh looked around as he noticed that the crowd is louder than usual, he then ignored them and took his position on the battlefield while looking at the other entrance waiting for Julian. Announcer "Our next trainer needs no introduction, he is the only person in the history of the league to stay undefeated over three leagues and this might be his fourth one, he has been unstoppable from the day he stepped foot into the battlefield. Some people say that he is the greatest trainer to ever step foot in this world. So will this trainer prove to the world that he really is undefeatable by winning his fourth league? This trainer is none other than Juliaannnnnnnnn" The announcer called Julian. As his name was announced fireworks shot into the sky and created a spectacr view, Julian who was standing inside the entranceway saw smoke shooting out in front of him, it was his queue to walk in. He entered the battlefield through the smokescreen revealing himself to the world. People shouted their lungs out as they saw him walk into the battlefield, his name could be heard all over the city and beyond, people are really behind him, with his powerful reputation came unimaginable fame. Throughout history, people are known to follow the strong, and in their eyes, Julian is the strongest so they are crazy over him, they want to cheer for him and see him victorious, his undefeated streak contributed to his fame, money, and power. Julian smiled and waved at them which got him an even bigger response, Yesh saw this and wondered if people would start to do the same for him. If he reaches Julian''s status, Yesh didn''t realize this but he was changing slowly, he was bing more and more human. Julian then turned his attention on his student who is waiting for him, he walked towards the drawn markings and took his position while looking into Yesh''s eyes. Julian "Do you think you have a chance?" He asked. Yesh "20%" Julian just nods his head with a smile and looks at the referee to start the battle. The referee looks at both trainers before starting to exin the rules of the battle. Referee "This will be a six on six pokemon battle, both trainers are allowed to switch pokemons during or in the middle of the battle, the person with no pokemons at the end of the battle loses. Am I clear?" He exins and asks to which he gets a nod of agreement from both parties. Referee "Then, you may choose your first pokemons" With the referee''s call, Julian went first and sent out his first pokemon on the battlefield. Julian tossed a Pokeball into the battlefield and out came a red spinning ball which thennded on his feet and started to beat his chest with his massive arms, Julian sent out his Darmanitan. Throughout this whole league, Julian used his Darmanitan only once and that was at the beginning of the league and now he reappears. Seeing Julian''s choice, Yesh tensed up, he has been with Julian for quite a while and knows what kind of monster has just entered the battlefield, he could send his strongest pokemon as well but that would be a very stupid decision on his part. He knows his first pokemon is going to get knocked out no matter who it is, even if it is Landorus, he needs to send someone weaker but not too weak as well, he needs to weaken this Darmanitan, and then knock it out. Darmanitan is not Julian''s strongest physical attacker, not his strongest defensive pokemon, he has shitty special attacks, his speed is above average as well, but what makes Darmanitan really dangerous is the output of power behind his attacks. Darmanitan makes his attacks explode on purpose at contact making them terrifying. Since Darmanitan loved explosions so much, he and Julian found a way to make his attacks more terrifying. Yesh of course knows this, he was there when both of them began this training, and to this day, Yesh still has no idea how they are achieving it. Julian "You remember Darmanitan right?" Julian asked with a smile to which Yesh nodded. Julian "Of course, you remember, you saw them when he was just a little cute Darumaka, but now he has turned into this, do you have anything that can down my Darmanitan?" Julian asked again. Yesh "I have some ideas" Julian "Then, what are you waiting for, let''s not waste the people''s time and give them the battle that they are waiting for, send out your pokemon" Yesh nodded and sent out his first choice, a massive blue pokemon entered the battlefield, it has three fins, two on top of its head and one big one on its back, it has two massive arms and powerful legs. Yesh sent out Swampert, another pokemon Julian didn''t expect to see from Yesh but it didn''t matter, it is indeed a great choice, a water/ground type pokemon to face off against a fire type pokemon. Chapter 951 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (2) Julian''s choice Darmanitan, Yesh''s choice Swampert, two powerful physical attackers facing off against each other on the battlefield, while one is serious and thinking of taking down its opponent, the other is thinking about having fun and making more explosions. Julian looked at Darmanitan and smiled seeing how excited he is, to Swampert this is a serious battle against a very powerful opponent, but to Darmanitan, this is just a game, to him, it is never about hurting his opponents. It is about creating the biggest explosions and by this Darmanitan causes even more damage to his opponents, that is why he is the most feared of all of Julian''s Unova pokemon. ?? Yesh "Swampert, use Earthquake" Yesh started off big with a wide-area attack, Earthquake can be very effective against Darmanitan if he gets hit by it but Julian has many ways to dodge this Earthquake. As Swampert mmed its massive arms into the ground and sent an energy pulse into the ground, the ground started to tremble and shake at a very rapid pace, earth energy pulsed out of the ground trying to destroy everything it touched. Julian "Use Hammer Arm on the ground andunch yourself, then use Headbutt" Darmanitan did as Julian said, he used Hammer Arm and mmed the ground with all his strength, the power behind his attack propelled him up in the air while leaving two massive craters on the ground, he then started to spin very fast, Darmanitan then used Headbutt and charged towards Swampert with full speed. Darmanitan looked like a glowing spinning ball as the dome of his head shone brightly as his whole body spun, seeing the speed at Darmanitan ising towards his Swampert, Yesh knew that he has to block this one and shouldn''t try to dodge because an explosion will follow up next and it will cause a lot of damage even without contact. Yesh "Use Protect" Swampert quickly raised its arms and created a forcefield in front of it, as Darmanitan got closer and made contact with the forcefield, something crazy happened, while people expected the protect to just crack or shatter but what happened surprised everyone. An explosion urred and not just a small one but a massive one, the sound of this explosion was thunderous, the power of the explosion shattered the protect in an instant and the powerful shockwave hit Swampert like a train sending it rolling in the ground, Darmanitan was also sent flying backward but he curled up into a ball and just rolled away with no damage. He got back to his feet and beat his chest while looking at the result of the explosion and was quite happy about it. Yesh looked at his Swampert and was relieved, just like he expected, Julian''s Darmanitan is too much. While a normal type attack like Headbutt could deal a lot of damage, Darmanitan on the other hand doesn''t use moves like they are supposed to be used. He makes thembust at high speed with such intense heat that they create a massive explosion, the stronger the attack, the more power an explosion will have. The only moves that don''t explode like this are fire type moves, Darmanitan just use them like normal fire type moves but they are more destructive in nature because Darmanitan does the same to them as well, he channels a lot of heat behind all of his attack, and with fire mixing with fire creates even greater fire. Julian "Brick Break" Darmanitan charged at Swampert once again, his hands glowed yellow as he rushed towards Swampert, Yesh tried to figure out how to deal with this problem, making contact with Darmanitan is suicidal. After figuring out a counter, Yesh made a call. Yesh "Use Mud Bomb" Swampert shot a massive glom of mud at Darmanitan''s way. Julian "Burn it" Julian decided to intimidate Yesh and see how he will react after being pressured very hard. Seeing the iing attack, Darmanitan grinned and punched at the Mud Bomb, the yellow energy around his arm suddenly started to show changes. Darmanitan challenged all his heat into this attack andbust them. Brick Break suddenly exploded in contact with the Mud Bomb, the explosion was massive and powerful causing the stadium''s defense system to get activated, Swampert had to use Protect to protect itself from the explosion as well. The crowd felt chills by sensing the power of this explosion, they could see nothing by a fiery st and nothing else, as soon as the explosion disappeared, the only thing left was Darmanitan standing next to molten sand that was cooling down and turning into ss. This explosion was so powerful and hot that it dried up the Mud Bomb in a second and then started to melt the dry stand and then turn it into a ss. Within a few minutes, this molten sand will turn into trinitite (sands that turn into ss in explosion sites), everyone is shocked by seeing this, they have never seen something like this ever before. Even Yesh who doesn''t show much emotion felt a massive pressure trying to crush him, he looked at Julian and noticed his cold eyes, he realized that Julian is finally serious, unlike previous times this is not just training, this is a real battle and he needs to give it his all to stand a chance or he will bepletely destroyed. Chapter 952 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (3) Yesh realized that things are much different now, this time Julian won''t hold back and he doesn''t want Julian to hold back either, he wants to really see how much he has improved during all this time he has spent with Julian and after that training on his own. Yesh "Swampert, on the attack, use Hydro Pump" ?? Yesh knew that ying defensive right now is not the best option, he has to take a big risk to get a bigger reward and that reward will be damaging Darmanitan and if he gets knocked out, it will be a miracle. Swampert did as Yesh asked it to do and shot a powerful Hydro Pump at Darmanitan. Julian "Use Protect" Julian smiled seeing that Yesh changed strategy so he decided to do the same as well, since Yesh is his personal student, he decided to go very hard on Yesh, harder than any opponent he has evere across. Darmanitan doesn''t like to y defensive but since Julian ordered so, he will do as he is told, he set up a force field in front of him and protected himself from the powerful Hydro Pump. Yesh "Now charge forward, use Rock Throw" Swampert charged towards Darmanitan and on its way, it started to hurl massive rocks at Darmanitan. Julian "Dodge them" Darmanitan started to move around and dodge these massive rocks thrown at him but soon Julian noticed something, Darmanitan''s movements are a little slow, he soon realized that the grown is little wet due to that Hydro Pump and these rocks crashing into them is making them even softer, making it hard for Darmanitan to move around. Julian noticed this very early, or it would have been very troublesome afterward, this is indeed a very good way to set up a battlefield for your pokemon''s advantage, Swampert will thrive onnds that are damp and muddy, turning the battlefield into a huge mud pond would severely hinder Darmanitan''s performance. Too bad for Yesh, Julian already caught onto his n but he decided to let Yesh set up this a little more before he makes a move. Once Darmanitan dodged all the rocks, Yesh asked for another Hydro Pump and Julian told Darmanitan to use Protect again. Just as Julian expected, those rocks caused the ground to soften up allowing it to absorb water much better and making the battlefield a little damp than before. Julian ''That''s a good n but it won''t do him much favor if the terrain suddenly takes a drastic change!'' Julian thought to himself and smiled. Yesh, on the other hand, was already thinking of several ways to pin down Julian''s Darmanitan, his n right now is what Julian has in mind, and Yesh is not stupid, he knows not to rely on just one n, he knows Julian better than anyone, so he also knows Julian has already figured out his first n. Now the real game is who is going to make the first mistake, Yesh is better at calcting probabilities and how Julian might react in every scenario but at the end of the day they are just simtions and Yesh cannote up with infinite of them at the same time. Julian has more experience, he isn''t much calctive as Yesh on the battlefield but no one can read the battlefield better than him, while Yesh calctes the probability of Julian''s moves and how he might react, Julian would already have a rough idea of how the terrain might change. Julian noticed that Yesh is thinking a lot and suddenly decided to have some fun with Yesh, Yesh thinks that Julian is very calctive with his moves and he is right, but Julian can also be stupid and make stupid decisions. Julian "Use Rollout" Julian called for a Rollout and Darmanitan didn''t wait for a second, he excitedly rolled up his body and charged at Yesh''s Swampert, rock energy covered him as he made his way towards Swampert, the battlefield is still not damp enough to slow him down, instead, it''s giving him a better grip right now which helped Darmanitan increase his Rollout speed. Yesh "Dodge it" Yesh became confused, he expected Julian to y defensive as he went for the attack but now he is suddenly ying aggressive again. Swampert dodged the Rollout, and Darmanitan rolled right past it beforeing to a full stop, Darmanitan looked at Swampert angrily and beat his chest, he wanted to make explosions and since Swampert didn''t block him, he couldn''t make one, this pissed of Darmanitan as he started to breathe fire out of his nose. Julian "Use Rollout again" Julian decided to y a little longer andpletely confuse Yesh, Darmanitan once again charged at Swampert with full speed. Yesh "Dodge it" Yesh once again asked Swampert to dodge as he has no idea what Julian is thinking. This continued for a while before Yesh finally realized it, he saw Julian was smiling and it was not a smile that one does when they are happy, Yesh realized that Julian is just messing with him and he has no intentions to attack at all, he is just ying around right now. For some reason, Yesh felt apletely new emotion inside him, anger, he was angry because Julian was treating this as a y while a few seconds ago he looked very serious, Yesh couldn''t figure out what Julian really wants. Does he want to have a serious battle or is it just a y for him? Chapter 953 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (4) Yesh "You are ying with me!" Yesh said. ?? Julian "Of course, it''s good to have fun on the battlefield" Julian said. Yesh "I need you to take this serious" He said with a slight tone of anger which Julian definitely picked up. Julian "Oh, what''s this? Getting angry, then I should get a little serious then" He said and chuckled. Julian ''Would you look at that, I am d that he is not just an empty shell because he was one when I first met him'' He thought to himself and he was quite happy with Yesh''s current development in character. Yesh "Don''t hold back, Swampert, use Hammer Arm" Yesh didn''t want to y around and neither did he want Julian to as well, so he went for big hits, there is no way Julian will risk ying around and get hit by these powerful moves. Julian "Counter with Hammer Arm as well" Darmanitan beat his chest excitedly and charged at Swampert using Hammer Arm, everytime his arms touched the ground, they would leave his knuckle prints behind as the ground was starting to get damp, as they were about to collide with each other... Yesh "Dodge and hit from the side" Hearing Yesh Swampert used its powerful legs to move direction and dodged the Hammer Arm from Darmanitan and got to his side and was about to bring down its own Hammer Arm when Julian made his call as well. Julian "On the ground, explosion" Darmanitan didn''t stop his Hammer Arm and aimed it at the ground to waste no time, he used his head andbust the attack on impact creating a very powerful explosion, Swampert who was about tond its own Hammer Arm on Darmanitan got swept by the powerful force of the explosion and was sent flying through the air and crashing into the ground. This explosion of course caused the stadium''s defense to be activated again, as the explosion died down along with the smoke, Swampert could be seen on the ground struggling to get up. Yesh looked at the battlefield and realized that the battlefield ispletely dry now and his effort to damp it was useless. Julian "Finish it, Brick Break" Darmanitan didn''t wait around and rushed towards the fallen Swampert andnded the Brick Break and on contact, he made it explode sending Swampert flying through the air again and then crashing into the ground but this time it couldn''t get back to its feet. It got knocked out. Referee "Swampert is unable to battle, Darmanitan wins" The referee called the result and the crowd cheered, they have never seen a move like this, they heard Julian call for a Brick Break and it ended in an explosion, only in a Julian match can they see stuff like this. Yesh seemed frustrated and he realized what he did wrong, his Swampert could have easilysted longer in the battle if he hadn''t gotten angry and made a dumb decision by engaging Darmanitan in a closebat fight. Julian on the other hand was happy for Yesh, he could tell Yesh was frustrated but this was the start of his journey, if one doesn''t get angry, one won''t feel motivated to do better and not get into such frustrating situations. Julian could already tell from now on, Yesh''s improvement will skyrocket, but for that Yesh will also have to realize this and this is where Julian will have to step in as his teacher. Julian "Feels frustrating doesn''t it, losing a battle because you let your anger get the better of you?" Julian asked. Yesh looked Julian in his eyes and agreed by nodding his head. Julian "Then make sure to channel this anger in the right way, don''t let it get to your head and blind your thoughts" Yesh didn''t say anything and kept his thoughts to himself and sent Swampert back to its Pokeball. Since Swampert didn''t work, he needs to choose a pokemon that can keep its distance from Darumaka and deal damage as well, something that is fast and hits hard. After thinking for a while, Yesh sends out his second pokemon to the battlefield, a Chandelure. Julian looks at Yesh choice and is surprised by it but he soon thinks of something, the only reason someone would send a Chandelure against another fire type pokemon is that the Chandelure''s ability might be sh Fire, this ability allows a pokemon to increase its own fire type moves power by 50% and it is immune to fire. Rising a move''s damage by fifty percent is simr to removing a pokemon''s resistance to that move, so if Darmanitan gets hit by a fire-type move, it would be simr to getting hit by moves that do normal damage to him. And if Julian knows one thing about Chandelures is that they are one of the most powerful special attackers in the pokemon world, their special attacks can deal massive damage. Yesh''s choice is indeed excellent, it doesn''t always have to be a pokemon that has resistance or advantage over their opponent, sometimes a pokemon that canpletely remove their opponent''s resistance can also be a great choice. But will it be able to take on Darmanitan''s explosion? Yes an explosion is fire and Chandelure can absorb the fire and increase its own powers but an explosion is not just fire, it''s pure energy being released at such high speed and power, it takes only a few microseconds for the energy to travel. As such high speeds, no matter how good one''s defense is, they will get sted and Chandelure''s defense is not bad but it''s not too good either, if the energy from the explosions makes contact, it will be rattled. Julian wondered what Yesh is thinking and how he will tackle this obstacle that is Julian''s Darmanitan. Chapter 954 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (5) Yesh''s choice is indeed a good one but he is still worried about Julian''s Darmanitan, he will have to find a way to counter that explosion. Yesh realized that the fire from the explosion is not the only problem, he will have to find a way to ovee that energy st thates along with the fire. ?? Once Yesh''s Chandelure entered the battlefield, it looked at Darmanitan and red its mes that are on its arms. Yesh "Use Shadow Balls" Yeshmanded and Chandelure suddenly created multiple Shadow Balls and started to spin them around it causing them to move faster and faster, soon these balls came charging at Darmanitan at very high speed. This was clearly Julian''s own technique, his Gengar loves to use these a lot and it looks like Yesh copied, his Chandelure cannot make as many Shadow Balls as Gengar could at its level but it was still good, they are fast and hard to dodge. While Julian''s Darmanitan is indeed impressive, he really doesn''t have that good of a Defense or Special Defense making him a little vulnerable to such powerful and fast attacks. Julian "Use Protect" There is no way Darmanitan could dodge all of them with his speed not he could counter all of them at the same time as well, Darmanitan quickly set up a force field in front of him and let the Shadow Balls m onto it. The Shadow Balls did their damage one after the other, every time theynded they would crack the forcefield before one of them finally shattered it. Julian "Now, Brick Break explosion" There were still some Shadow Balls heading towards him and he has no way to counter them other than use his explosions again, his fire type moves won''t work as they can only destroy one Shadow Ball at a time and the rest would hit him as soon as he tries to counter. The only option is to take them all out at once with an explosion, Darmanitan pulled back his arm and punched towards the Shadow Ball, even though fighting type moves would pass right through these Shadow Balls, Darmanitan is not using this move how it is supposed to be used. Hebusted his arm causing a chain reaction within the energy of the Brick Break, as Darmanitan''s arm went into the first Shadow Ball, the energy exploded from inside and caused a massive explosion that took out all the Shadow Balls in one go. Yesh "Quick, absorb" Yesh ordered. His Chandelure got a little closer to st radius and came in contact with the high-temperature fire and activated its ability, sh Fire. Chandelure''s firepower increased by 50% but it also got hit by the energy st as well, sending it flipping through the air, luckily it has a decent defense and it could take these kinds of sts if it''s a little far away from the contact point or the beginning of the explosion. Julian saw this and realized what Yesh was up to, he realized that this can be very troublesome if Yesh continued to do this, Chandelure is already a very powerful Special Attacker, rising its firepower every time by 50% can be very dangerous for Julian and his Darmanitan. Julian ''Interesting, since you want to do it like this, then my Darmanitan will have to get closer I guess'' Julian thought and made his move. Julian "Use, Rollout and don''t stop" Darmanitan started to roll just like Julianmanded, his whole body started to spin rapidly as rock energy covered him, he rolled on the rocky battleground that is cracked, charred, and destroyed by his explosions, he then started to use the pits on the battlefield andunched himself up in the air, aiming at Chandelure. Seeing the iing attack Chandelure moved to the side and dodged it but Darmanitan didn''t stop, he went back to the ground and used the pits to continue rolling around and flying towards Chandelure, every second Darmanitan''s speed kept increasing, and the power behind the Rollout also increased as well. It was bing increasingly dangerous for Chandelure by every second, now if it gets hit by this Rollout it could get knocked out, it was fully charged up to the limit. Now Darmanitan was just a ball moving throughout the battlefield and taking air in a blur. Yesh realized the danger of this move and decided to put an end to Darmanitan''s momentum. Yesh "Use Fire st" Chandelure dodged another Rollout attempt from Darmanitan and got ready to attack, it started to charge up a powerful Fire st and was waiting for Darmanitan toe straight at it, hitting a moving target is hard but hitting a moving target that ising right towers you is very easy. As Darmanitan used one of the pits and took air while aiming at Chandelure, Chandelure sent the Fire st towards Darmanitan, Darmanitan, of course, cannot change direction in mid-air and this was the perfect time to strike. Darmanitan''s speed made it so that the contact between them will happen in a second, but that is all the time Darmanitan and Julian needed. Julian ''Gotcha!'' He thought Julian "Explode!" Hemanded. As soon as Darmanitan made contact with the Fire st, hebusted the Rollout and caused an explosion, this time the explosion was bigger than ever as this is an explosion from a full-powered Rollout, a full power Rollout is near three times more powerful than a Giga Impact. With all this power exploding, the Fire st didn''t stand a chance and got obliterated by the explosion, Yesh was shocked but it was toote. As Chandelure made contact with the hot fire, its firepower skyrocketed but before it could even use all this power, it got hit by the st of the explosion and was sent flying through the air. It then crashed hard into the stadium''s defense forcefield and crashed on the ground hard. The crowd went crazy as they felt their hearts race from the force of this explosion, even the battlefield shattered into multiple pieces. As the smoke cleared up, everyone could see Chandelure on the ground, knocked out cold. Referee "Chandelure is unable to battle, Darmanitan wins" Yesh was in shock, he didn''t expect this at all. Yesh ''So much power, no wonder he said that Darmanitan is his most dangerous pokemon!'' He thought as he remembered once asking Julian about his pokemon and which one is the strongest, Julian didn''t say who is the strongest but he did tell Yesh that Darmanitan who was just a Darumaka back then as his most dangerous pokemon. He then looked at Julian''s Darmanitan and was surprised as he noticed that Darmanitan lookspletely different right now, he looks like a stone statue. Chapter 955 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (6) Just like Yesh, everyone noticed Darmanitan''s change, Darmanitan has now entered Zen Mode, this is where he is the scariest and the most dangerous. The fun and explosions end here, while Darmanitan before Zen Mode is happy, enthusiastic, fun-loving, and mischievous, Darmanitan in Zen Mode is cold, not very fun-loving, and wants to end battles as quickly as possible so others don''t waste his time which he can dedicate to having a peaceful mind. ?? It''s like Darmanitan haspletely two different personalities, he ispletely different than before, the reason why Darmanitan entered Zen Mode is that his health is now below half of his full health, this will activate his skill Zen Mode and he transforms, all those explosions doe at a cost, they cause damage as well, Julian usually don''t like these type of battle style but seeing Darmanitan''s nature, he decided to train him this way, he also knew that once they reach the halfway point, he won''t have to continue using this suicide tactic due to the Zen Mode. In Zen Mode, Darmanitan loses the majority of his physical attack powers and puts them to his special attack, he also loses his speed while both his defense and special defense doubles making him an average tank of a pokemon as well, he also gains Psychic typing while he is just a Fire time in his previous form. Yesh looks at the change and gets worried, he has never seen Zen Mode Darmanitan in action, he doesn''t even know what it is capable of, the only thing Yesh knows is that Darmanitan now has half of his health and this is advantageous to him and his pokemons. Yesh sent his Chandelure back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield, a Bisharp. This time Yesh''s choice is not the best, while it is indeed a dark type and is immune to psychic type attacks from his Darmanitan, it is also weak to fire type attacks. Julian wondered why Yesh would send out Bisharp and came up with an answer in his mind, a physical fast attacker, with Darmanitan''s speed gone, Bisharp could easily get close and deal fatal blows to his Darmanitan. Special Attackers are always weak at a close distance fight so Yesh might try to get close. The battle began as soon as Bisharp entered the battlefield. Yesh "Get close, Night sh" Yesh went on the attack again, and just as Julian expected, Yesh''s Bisharp is fast, not blinding fast but fast enough to trouble Darmanitan in Zen Mode, without Zen Mode Darmanitan is much faster. Bisharp came rushing towards Darmanitan in a random zig-zag pattern so that Darmanitan can''t pinpoint it and attack, as soon as it got close and ready to attack, Julian went on the defense. Julian "Use Protect" Darmanitan set up a Protect and protected himself from the iing Night sh. Julian "Now, methrower" As Darmanitan is still behind the Protect, he charged up a methrower and shot it at Bisharp, Bisharp saw this and quickly moved out of the way as the methrower went past it by an inch as the Protect disappeared. Yesh "Now, Night sh" Seeing that Darmanitan is open to an attack, Yesh couldn''t miss this, Bisharp was very close so it couldn''t miss this hit as well, itnded the Night sh on Darmanitan and sent it spinning backward in the air. Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t expect Yesh''s Bisharp to react so fast, that methrower would have hit any pokemon but Yesh''s Bisharp dodged it on time or it might have been seriously hurt or even got itself knocked out. Darmanitan stopped spitting and suddenly stopped and locked onto Bisharp. Julian "methrower" As soon as he stopped spinning he shot a powerful methrower at Bisharp, Bisharp saw thising and moved to the side to dodge it but then it suddenly noticed that the methrower suddenly changed direction and came towards it like a homing missile. It got hit by the powerful methrower and was sent shooting through the sky and out of the marked battlefield. While normal Darmanitan loved explosions and dealt damage by it, Zen Mode Darmanitan could use his psychic powers to haveplete control over his attacks and change their direction, the only reason hisst methrower didn''t hit Bisharp is that it was too close to Darmanitan and he couldn''t change the direction of an attack at such short distance. Just that one methrower took out a lot from Bisharp as it struggled to get back to its feel, this just showed that Julian''s Darmanitan was not something one should mess with. Yesh realized the full potential of Darmanitan right now and how hard it will really be to take him down. Yesh "Come on, once again, Night sh" Bisharp quickly got to its feet and charged at Darmanitan once again, this time it moved in an even crazier pattern so that Darmanitan couldn''t lock onto it likest time. As it got close and was able tond that Night sh, Julian made hismand. Julian "Use Protect" Darmanitan set up a Protect and blocked the iing Night sh, it was the same as before so Bisharp was ready to dodge the next attack that will be thrown at it. Julian "Finish it, Overheat" This time Bisharp is doomed, there is no way it can dodge a wide-area attack like Overheat and it is also one of the most powerful Fire-type attacks, Darmanitan charged up the Overheat to release it. Bisharp tried to escape and make some distance but it was toote, a powerful burning sea of me suddenly engulfed the whole battlefield, the sound was like a massive wave hitting a cliff, as the fire disappeared, Bisharp could be seen on the ground knocked out. Referee "Bisharp is unable to battle, Darmanitan wins!" The Referee called the result. Darmanitan took out another one of Yesh''s pokemon but in exchange, he sacrificed some of his firepowers, using Overheat has a side effect, it will decrease his special attack power by two stages. Chapter 956 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (7) Julian''s Darmanitan has now sacrificed some of his power to take down another one of Yesh''s pokemon, with this three of Yesh''s pokemon are down. By now no one believes that Yesh is going to win this battle but they are still excited about how everything is going to unfold, they wondered if Yesh will get any closer to taking out Julian''s pokemon, till now no one has done it. ?? Glen came very close but not close enough, they wondered if Yesh can do it. Yesh looked at his fallen Bisharp and wondered what his next pokemon should be, he knew that Julian''s Darmanitan is now weaker than ever, he lost most of his firepower, he is still dangerous but not as much as before due to that Overheat he sued. As Yesh was wondering which pokemon to send out next to take out Darmanitan but to his surprise, he saw Julian sending Darmanitan back to his Pokeball. Julian looked at Yesh and smiled while doing so. Julian "You see, Darmanitan is exhausted, he needs a little rest!" Julian said with a smile on his face, he really wasn''t going easy on Yesh at all, he could do this with every pokemon, make them win one round, and switch, with this he could have apletely clean sweep. Yesh felt frustrated as he saw this, Julian''s Darmanitan was close to getting knocked out but now Julian decided to switch, to others it seemed fine but to Yesh, it didn''t feel like a fair game at all. He felt like he was getting bullied by his own teacher in front of hundreds and thousands of people, he didn''t like this feeling at all, he felt anger and frustration but he decided to stay calm for now. Giving in to anger and frustration lost him a pokemon previously so he needs to focus. Julian "Don''t worry, I will send another pokemon, you can wait" Julian said and took out another Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon to the battlefield, as he threw the Pokeball into the battlefield, it opened and mes spewed out of the Pokeball and Volcarona emerged out of it. Small kes burning fell down from his wings as he slowly shook them, Yesh looked at Julian''s choice and sent out his next pokemon as well, Barbaracle, a rock/water type. Yesh''s whole team seems till now seems to be based on pokemons that have some kind of advantage over Julian''s pokemon, now he has another pokemon that has an advantage over Volcarona, not just one but two, Volcarona is weak to water and four times weak to rock. With Barbaracle''s arsenal of attacks filled with these types of attacks, it can easily impact Volcarona in a bad way. Julian "Volcarona, use Sunny Day" Volcarona started the battle by setting up a Sunny Day, he shot a ball of energy up in the sky which then started to act like a second sun making the sky even brighter, under the bright sky, Volcarona''s wings glowed even brighter. Yesh just watched and made observations, he needed to stay calm and figure out a way to deal damage and try to find a way to counter Volcarona''s offense. Julian "Now, Sr Beam" With Sunny Day activated, the Sr Beam didn''t take much time to charge up, Volcarona shot a very powerful Sr Beam at Barbaracle, while Volcarona does have a four times weakness to rock type, Barbaracle also has a four-time weakness to grass type moves as well, getting hit by this will be fatal. Yesh "Dodge" Barbaracle jumped to the side and avoided the Sr Beam, the Sr Beamnded on the ground and suddenly started to melt through the ground leaving a deep hole behind. Yesh just watched and stayed calm, he needed to figure out a way to counter, for now, he decided to just watch and dodge. Julian continued with his attacks and Volcarona kept sting Sr Beams at Barbaracle but Barbaracle kept dodging them, the battleground was then soon covered with lots of holes left behind by the Sr Beam. Yesh waited for his chance and when he saw it, he made his move, he made his Barbaracle move around in a certain pattern for a while making sure that his movement bes predictable, once he felt like Volcarona was able to predict his Barbaracle''s movement. Yesh decided to make his move. Yesh "Now, use Rock Slide" Barbaracle suddenly changed his movementpletely causing Volcarona who was caught in momentum to turn in apletely different direction and lost sight of Barbaracle for a second but it was enough for Barbaracle to take advantage of this. It created multiple rocks and brought them down on Volcarona, neither Julian nor Volcarona expected this, the rocks came crashing down on Volcarona and took him to the ground burring him under them. The crowd cheered loudly as they saw Yesh finally getting the upper hand, they wondered if it was enough to take out Volcarona. Yesh ''Is it over?'' Yesh wondered as well, Volcaronas are known not to have that great of a physical defense so an attack like Rock Slide should deal a lot of damage, and with Volcarona''s four-time weakness this might just be a one-hit KO. Julian "It''s not over yet, Volcarona, burn through it" With Julian''smand, mes burst out of the gaps between the rocks, Volcarona then burst out of the rocks as they went flying everywhere, Volcarona spread his wings wide open as the me around him burned brightly. Everyone could also tell he is badly hurt but he still seems to be filled with energy. Chapter 957 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (8) Even though Volcarona is hurt, he still has a lot of power to spare for this battle. Julian was impressed by Yesh foring up with a way to make Volcarona lose his focus, which resulted in Volcarona receiving some heavy damage. Yesh looked at Volcarona and wondered what he should do next, he was able to deal some damage to Volcarona but this isn''t over, he needs another one of these big hits to finally take down Julian''s Volcarona. ?? Yesh "Use Rock Slide again" Yesh needed to keep Volcarona busy, and there is no other way of doing it than keeping Volcarona on the move, this is a very risky y as his Barbaracle might get exhausted. Barbaracle created multiple rocks in thin air and brought them crashing down on Volcarona, since Volcarona is on the run right now, he used his insane speed and started to dodge them effortlessly, every time he pped his wings, he moved and released small glowing kes behind. The rocks crashed into the ground as they couldn''t touch Volcarona causing mini-tremors all over the stadium, Volcarona dodged all those with ease, Yesh expected this to happen but it was all part of his n. He wanted to observe before making a move. Julian, on the other hand, decided it was time to shift the phase of this battle, he let Yesh do his thing for a while now he needs to take charge. Julian then started attacking more often, his Volcarona used Sr Beams and Big Buzz to make Barbaracle run around the battlefield. Yesh also countered back with Rock Slides, both parties tried to get a hit on one another, as the battle continued forward, Barbaracle started to lose stamina, just like Yesh expected his Barbaracle couldn''t hold on for much longer against Julian''s Volcarona. This battle also soon came to an end as Barbaracle couldn''t dodge a Sr Beam due to its speed and stamina being decreased. The Sr Beamnded and sent Barbaracle rolling through the ground, those holes dealt extra damage as they came in contact with its body, as it stopped rolling, Barbaracle could be seen knocked out on the ground. Referee "Barbaracle is unable to battle, Volcarona wins!" The referee called the result, the crowd cheered as they saw another one of Yesh''s pokemon go down, by now the audience has lost all hope in Yesh winning this battle but they still want to watch it till the end. Yesh on the other hand was actually not worried about the oue right now, he believed he has a chance to take out Julian''s Volcarona unless he decides to switch him with another pokemon right in the middle of the battle. With four of his pokemons down, he only has two pokemon left in his team and he wants to bring out his big guns that he has been saving till this moment. Julian "What are you waiting for? You only have two pokemons left, make sure they do better" Julian said. Yesh didn''t say much and sent Barbaracle back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon on the battlefield, as the Pokeball entered the battlefield, it opened and a powerful aura burst out of it as the pokemon came out releasing a powerful roar. Yesh''s Landorus entered the battlefield folding its arms and looked at Volcarona with its cold and dominating gaze. Volcarona''spound eyes also locked onto Landorus as he tried to size up his opponent, he could feel a very strong energy meeting out of this pokemon and knew this one will be tough. Julian "Finally, I have been waiting for this one" Julian said with a smile and went for the attack, he has seen this Landorus in action and he doesn''t want to fool around, this pokemon is especially caught by Yesh for Julian, he wants to use this Landorus and defeat Julian''s pokemon. Julian "Volcarona, use Sr Beam" Volcarona sted a powerful Sr Beam at Landorus, Sunny Day is still going strong so Volcarona has no problem using Sr Beams as soon as Julian has spoken, the powerful Sr Beam tore through the air and headed towards Landorus. Seeing the iing attack Landorus just stood its ground and waited for Yesh''smand. Yesh "Use Protect" As the Sr Beam got closer, Yesh called for a Protect. Landorus rose its arms and created a forcefield in front of it and blocked the Sr Beam, the impact of the Sr Beam hitting the forcefield created a thunderous sound and caused the air to vibrate rapidly, even the area around the area became distorted. Landorus was sessfully able to block this attack. Yesh "Use Earth Power" Landorus created a ball made of yellow-brownish colored energy and shot it at Volcarona at high speed, Landorus in his Incarnate Forme is no slouch in Special Attacks, this Earth Power can cause a lot of damage to Julian''s Volcarona and since he is already in a bad shape, he could go down. Julian "Counter with Sr Beam" Julian called for another Sr Beam, Volcarona charged up another Sr Beam and shot it at the iing Earth Power, the Sr Beam and Earth Power came in contact and caused a mini-explosion, the Sr Beam then continued forward destroying the Earth Power towards Landorus, Landorus moved to the side and dodged the attack causing the Sr Beam to hit the walls of the grand stadium. While others didn''t see anything different about this short exchange but Yesh noticed something and so did Julian, Yesh realized that the moment he has been waiting for is getting closer. Chapter 958 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (9) Both Yesh and Julian noticed that the Sr Beam took a little longer to charge up than before, this means the effect of Sunny Day is fading away, soon Volcarona will have to use another Sunny Day if Julian wants to continue using Sr Beam effectively. Without Sunny Day, it will take time for Volcarona to charge up a Sr Beam and Yesh can take advantage of this time or Julian can call for another Sunny Day which means it will leave Volcarona vulnerable for a few seconds which will be enough for Yesh to capitalize. ?? Julian knew what Yesh was thinking and he was indeed in a dilemma right now, he needs to either take the risk of getting hit and set up another Sunny Day orpletely give up on Sr Beam which is one of Volcarona''s most powerful attacks. Well, Julian decided to give up on Sr Beam. Volcarona has many moves that Julian has not called for yet, but for now Julian will keep it to himself. He just smiled at Yesh. Yesh who is thinking about how toe up with a way to ovee Volcarona suddenly saw Julian''s smile, he knew Julian was thinking of something and has alreadye up with a way to counter him, this frustrated him even more but he knows that he needs to continue. Yesh "Use Earth Power" Landorus sted another Earth Power at Volcarona at high speed. Julian "Sr Beam" Julian knew this will be hisst Sr Beam so he didn''t waste any time and used it, Volcarona charged up and shot a powerful Sr Beam at the Earth Power and tore through it, as it headed towards Landorus. Landorus suddenly raised its arm and used Protect to block the Sr Beam from hitting it. The Sunny Day then faded away which caused the surroundings to be a little darker. Yesh was waiting for this and now he wants to know what will be Julian''s decision, either abandon the Sr Beam for now or take a risk and set up another Sunny Day? Julian "methrower" Yesh ''I see!'' Yesh thought and made his move as well. Yesh "Use Earth Power" Landorus used another powerful Earth Power and this time it was the one that came out on top, it collided with the methrower and started to push through it heading towards Volcarona. Julian "Use Protect" Volcarona stopped using methrower and used Protect to block the Earth Power, the Earth Power collided into the forcefield and exploded blinding Volcarona''s vision. Julian knew Yesh is nning something else and got on edge, as soon as he saw some movement from Landorus, he made his move as well. Julian "Use Fiery Dance" Julian had been holding onto this move, this move is not as powerful as a Sr Beam or Fire st but it is powerful enough to deal big damage, and it''s a wide-area attack that will hit any pokemon that is around Volcarona, whether it is a foe or an ally. Just as Julian expected, Landorus had gotten right next to Volcarona by using the smoke as its cover, since Julian made a fast call, Volcarona pped his wings releasing an enormous amount of fire which zed and released very destructive energy. Yesh "Use Imprison" Yesh suddenly called up a move instead of defending, Landorus roared and released a psychic st which hit Volcarona but it didn''t cause him any damage, but the destructive mes from Volcarona''s wings spun around him like a fire tornado and bashed into Landorus and sent him shooting through the air. But Julian was shocked by this, not because of Landorus being sent flying but because of the move Yesh called for, ''Imprison'', this moves will make sure that the opponent won''t be able to use moves that the user also knows. This means Volcarona won''t be able to use Protect or any other move that Landorus knows how to use. Yesh "Now, Mud Shot" As Landorus crashed into the ground, it only took a second to get back to position and created a glob of mud and did a full spin and threw the blob of mud at Volcarona at the speed that even he couldn''t dodge. The Mud Shot hit Volcarona right in the face suddenly blinding him, the mud got all over his body which slowed him down as well. Yesh "Now, end it, Rock Slide" Julian "Counter, Fiery Dance" Julian realized the danger and quickly called for a counter, Volcarona who was trying to get rid of the mud from his eyes suddenly stopped and created another tornado made of fire and released it around his surrounding like a tsunami, he believed in Julian and trusted his judgment even though he is blind right now. Massive rocks also came crashing down on it at the same time, these rocks were very big, the fire from the Fiery Dance destroyed some but others were still able to crash into Volcarona''s fragile body. Volcarona was brought crashing down into the ground and got buried under a huge pile of massive rocks, this Rock Slide was more powerful than the ones used by Barbaracle so it also dealt more damage. Everyone in the stadium went silent as they saw this, Julian also looked at the pile of rocks for a few seconds before looking at the referee. Julian "Call the result" He said. Referee "Huh?" The referee asked in confusion as he was waiting for Volcarona to burst out. Chapter 959 - Julian Vs Yesh, The Finals (10) Referee "Huh?" The referee asked in confusion as he looked at Julian, he was waiting for Volcarona to burst out but Julian suddenly told him to call the result. ?? Julian "What are you waiting for? My Volcarona got knocked out, call the result" Julian said while looking at the referee, the referee was stunned for a second beforeing back to his sense and rushed towards the pile of rocks and looked through them to see that Volcarona was indeed knocked out. Referee "Volcarona is unable to battle, Landorus wins" As soon as the referee called his result, the whole stadium went shush, they couldn''t believe what they just heard as this is the first time this ever happened, one of Julian''s pokemon got knocked out clean, not even a draw but a clean knockout. Even the referee was not expecting this, he has been a Professional referee for the league for years and has refereed multiple of Julian''s battles, not only in Unova league, but in Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh as well so this was a shock to him. Every time one thought that Julian''s pokemon is in a ditch, they woulde back and defeat their opponent and he got somehow used to it, the referee believed that he would never see a battle where one of Julian''s pokemon would get knocked out while the other party''s pokemon is still standing strong. The crowd also had the same reaction, they never thought they would see a clean knockout of Julian''s pokemon by his opponent. After a few seconds of silence, the crowd went crazy and they started to shout and cheer, Yesh''s name echoed all over the stadium, history has been made, Julian''s pokemon got knocked out. Even the champions of various regions have not done this but this young kid standing across the battlefield in front of Julian did it, someone finally took out one of Julian''s pokemon without it being a draw. Yesh also watched this, he felt his heart beating faster and faster from excitement, he held his breath as he couldn''t process this, he felt happy, this was a feeling he had never experienced before. Happiness was something he waspletely indifferent to but now that he felt it, he realized what he was really missing, he suddenly got emotional as well, various feelings burst out from inside of him making him feel like a human for the very first time. Yesh ''I did it, I finally did it'' He knew what he has just done, he did something even the best in the world couldn''t do. Julian saw Yesh and noticed how much of an emotional mess he was in right now, but instead of being sad for Yesh, Julian finally felt happy for him, his student who was so cold finally looked like a young 12-year-old kid. Julian started to p, seeing Julian p, others started to p as well, the crowd always follow the strong and seeing Julian pping for Yesh, they couldn''t stop themselves from doing the same as well. Yesh looked around the stadium with his teary eyes, he felt different for the very first time. Julian "You did it, but the battle is not over" Julian finally stopped and sent Volcarona back to his Pokeball. Julian "You did great Volcarona, get some rest" Heforted Volcarona and took out another Pokeball, sending his next pokemon on the battlefield, Archeops. Julian''s third choice. Yesh wiped the tear from his eyes and went back to his previous state of mind and focused on the current battle, Archeops, another danger he has to ovee. Yesh "Landorus, let''s do this" Yesh seems to be determined than ever, the battle started and Landorus and Archeops battled turned to be another epic sh. A legendary pokemon and a prehistoric apex predator closing in front of hundreds and thousands of people. The battle was very close, both parties were badly hurt but it was time to end it. Julian "Finish it, Head Smash" Yesh "Use Giga Impact" Yesh''s Landorus in Therian Forme charged at Archeops using Giga Impact who is diving towards it with full speed and extreme power using Head Smash. Archeops from the sky and Landorus from the ground, it was like a meteor is heading towards a missile, as both parties collide it cause an explosion so powerful that itpletely rips off the battlefield from underneathpletely separating it from its mechanism and causing the while area to copse underground. The stadium''s defense system was also activated and Julian also had to reinforce it with Omniforce. As the explosion died down and only smoke was left that was traveling up the air, everyone could see two pokemons deep inside the copsed battlefield, both of them are giving it their all to not go down. But it was ast-ditch of effort from one of them, Landorus copsed and fainted while Archeops is struggling to keep himself up as well, he is supporting his whole body with his wings, his whole body is filled with scratches and his feathers are all messed up. Referee "Landorus is unable to battle, Archeops wins" As soon as the referee called the result, Archeops also copsed and fainted as well, he gave it his all to stay up till he was announced the winner, Julian smiled as he was proud of Archeops. Referee "Archeops is unable to battle as well" The referee called as he saw Archeops gaining as well. Yesh is now down to just one pokemon while Julian still has four, two of his pokemons have been knocked out and this came as another massive shock to everyone in the stadium and all over the world. Yesh managed to take down two of Julian''s pokemon, one by a clean knockout and the other by a very close loss, even though his Landorus lost against Archeops, Archeops still fainted and won''t be able to continue as well. It was finally time to end the league once and for all, the copsed battlefield was switched in under a minute as the league had expected something like this to happen, a new battlefield rose up from the massive sinkhole that was left behind after that collision. Julian sent out his Excadrill as his final choice, Yesh also sent out his own Excadrill for this final battle. Two Excadrills, two brothers facing off against each other in the finals of the Unova League, everyone held onto their breath as the battle started between these two Excadrills, they exchanged moves after moves but at the end, Julian''s Excadrill proved himself to be the stronger one and ended the battle with a Drill Run. Julian''s Excadrill defeated his brother and became one of the champion pokemons of the Unova League. Chapter 960 - Fourth League Victory Referee "Trainer Yesh''s Excadrill is unable to battle, Trainer Julian''s Excadrill wins, the winner of this battle and the tournament is trainer Julian" With Yesh''s final pokemon hitting the ground unconscious, the battle finally came to an end, Julian won his fourth League, first Kanto, second Hoenn, third Sinnoh, and now his fourth, Unova. ?? The crowd started to cheer as louder as they could, Julian''s name echoed all over the stadium and across the whole city, not just this city but many others as well, people cheered him on from their home. His die-hard fans even out of their way to burst some fireworks in the name of his victory. _________________ Inside the grand stadium, Julian watched as people got on their feet and pped for him, called for his name, praised him, such a grand ovation from the crowd can be very addictive, thankfully Julian knew to never get drunk by this. That is why he always kept moving from one region to another, with the fame and money he has now, he can just settle down for life and let everything get over his head, he decided to keep moving from one region to another and never get attached to his possessions, rising pokemon was a challenge and every time he does it, he experiences and learns something new. Julian looked at Yesh who is clearly upset from his loss but he was not showing it on his face, he went back to being the cold emotionless boy he was before the battle started. Julian "You did better than I expected, I hope you can be better the next time we meet" Julian said. Yesh didn''t answer but just nodded his head, he sent his Excadrill back to its Pokeball and made his way out of the stadium, as he walked out of the stadium, the crowd cheered for him as well, they pped as they saw Yesh make his way out of the stadium. Once Yesh disappeared into the stadium, Julian also made his way out of the stadium as well, people didn''t stop cheering for him, on his way out he received another grand ovation from the crowd again. ____________________ Julian winning the league again was all over the inte, like most predicted he won but they didn''t expect two of his pokemon to go down in a single battle, because of this Yesh became a massive star throughout the pokemon world. While the world was discussing the fact that Julian is the only person to win four leagues and that too continuously, he went back to his room and justid down on the bed and looked at his phone, his three fianc¨¦es sent him congrattions messages which put a smile on his face. Even though he knows they are going to do so, he always waits for them. Tonight will be the award ceremony and he and his pokemon need to get ready for it. ____________________ Somewhere else in the world, the same group of people who had their eye on the league is looking at the massive screen in front of them, they saw how Julian put an end to the battle and won it with ease again. "The test subject failed!" One of them said. "What did you expect? A triumph victory over that person?" Another one asked. "Well his purpose is to be the best, be the perfect weapon to ovee anything, but it looks like he suffered a crushing defeat!" The first person said. "Well,pared to the ones who have faced that person before, he did the best, remember even the champion of Sinnoh couldn''t do much against this Julian!" Another one said. "That doesn''t matter, we made him be the best, and to be the best means defeating the best!" The first person said again. "Shut up for now!" The main man who is sitting in the center said as he looked at the screen, and he has a big frown on his face. Everyone in the room went silent and looked at this man. "What do you n to do now?" The first person asked and broke the silence. "I am happy with his progress, just in a few months he reached such powers but my biggest concern is the emotional changes taking ce in the test subject!" The main man said. "What do you mean?" One of them asked. "He got frustrated, angry, and happy, this is not something he should do but he did, being exposed to the outside world is changing him, we need to call him back and reprogram his emotions!" The main man said. The room fell into silence before one of them finally talked, this time it was a woman. "Ann, I was liking this version of his, should we really have to set him back to how he was?" The woman said. She is quite disappointed. "Emotions are weakness and they can be dangerous, a ticking time bomb, we cannot allow that, do as I ordered!" The main man said with a harsh tone. "Jeez, fine, whatever!" The woman scuffed and walked away leaving other members to talk to themselves. "That woman gets on my nerves!" The first man spoke. "Hahaha, and you can only speak behind her back!" Another man mocked the first man. "What can we do other than tolerate her for now, she is after all the princess!" The first man said. "Ok, enough talking, once the award ceremony is done, inform the test subject to get back!" The main man said and got off his chair and walked away as well. Chapter 961 - Award Ceremony The day didn''tst long, since everyone was so excited, they didn''t even realize then time went by and the award ceremony began, all 120 trainers were called in for the ceremony. The ones who didn''t get into the top 32 were given a participation medal, while the ones who were in the top 32 got trophies indicating that they were the top 32, then the top 16 were awarded. ?? After the top 16, the top 8 were finally called up, Glen, Virgil, Karl, and Dino were given the top 8 trophies. Then came the final three, due to Dhrago being arrested for attempted murder on Julian, he was removed from the league''s ranking which put Ash directly in third ce, he didn''t have to battle Dhrago for this position. Ash was called up the tform and given a big trophy, Ash didn''t seem to be disappointed by his ranking at all, he happily excepted it. Yesh was then called up to the tform and was given an even bigger trophy, Yesh didn''t say anything and just took the trophy from Charles Goodwill, he didn''t even smile at the tiny old man, he just took the trophy and left without a word. Some people didn''t take kindly to this attitude of his but most people didn''t bother because they already knew that this was how he is, even in interviews he was stiff and didn''t talk much then just answers the questions with either Yes or a No. Finally, Julian was called up, when he walked up the tform, people couldn''t stop shouting his name and cheering for him, he could see Charles smiling while holding a trophy that is twice as big as him. Julian stood next to Charles with a smile as Charles struggled to lift the trophy and hand it over to Julian, Julian decided to help the little old man and lifted up the trophy and rose it high up in the air as he received a massive round of apuse and cheers. Charles "If you keep on participating in the league, others will never win at this rate" He said andughed. Julian "Too bad, as I n to continue doing this, the only option they have is either defeat me or participate in a league where I won''t be participating" Charles "Well, good luck then" Charles said and smiled while waving at the crowd, this time Julian didn''t bother to make an announcement, this whole league was just like an announcement, even after such powerful trainers showed up they still couldn''t defeat him. This just showed the world that even stronger trainers need to step up, stronger than the ones that participated in this league. Charles "So Kalos is next I guess?" Charles asked as the Kalos league will be taking ce next in the Kalos region. Julian "Yes, Kalos it is" Julian replied while waving his hands at the fans, the award ceremony soon came to an end and Julian had to give an interview as reporters surrounded him shoving their mics and cameras onto his face. They asked them what his next step is and here he announced that he will be going to Kalos. This statement meant that Julian''s next goal is to conquer the Kalos league and be someone to hold five league victories under his name. This somehow became a new trend amongst young trainers, they also wanted to be trainers who holds more than one league victory just like Julian, but they also knew how hard this really is, winning the league is already near impossible for young trainers so having multiple league victories is a far fetched dream. _____________________ Julian decided to stay in Unova for another month because the league asked him to have an exhibition battle against the current champion of the Unova region, Alder. Julian was also a little excited to battle Alder, he has heard a lot about Alder from Cynthia on how powerful of a trainer he really is, Julian decided to have an exhibition match against Alder. Since this is an exhibition battle, this will not go on their official record. Julian took one month to prepare for this battle, being an exhibition the trainers won''t have toply with the league''s rules. Both Alder and Julian decided that this battle should just be a one on one pokemon battle, a quick and action-filled battle should be enough to sell a lot of tickets to the general public and there is no way they are going to miss it. Two of the biggest names in Unova duking out against each other, how could the general public miss this one, Alder is said to be the strongest champion from Unova in years while Julian is Julian, the greatest trainer in the world. When this was announced people were going crazy and excited about it, they had expected this battle to happen but they didn''t know when, finding out that it will happen in a month excited them a lot. Julian also trained his pokemons for this uing big battle, he didn''t know which pokemon to chose for this battle so he trained them all. Alder was also busy training his pokemon, he saw the league and saw how powerful Julian''s pokemon really are, he especially didn''t want to battle against Julian''s Darmanitan, the freak of a pokemon. Soon the month passed and the day of the exhibitions was here. Chapter 962 - Julian Vs Alder The day of the exhibition match between Julian and Alder arrived and the crowd that is gathered here is no smaller than the one in the finals of the Unova League. Julian and Alder are standing in their position on the battlefield and looking into each other''s eyes, everyone in the stadium is tense as they waited for both of them to choose their pokemon. ?? Since this is just a one on one pokemon battle, they will have to think carefully before choosing a pokemon, they won''t have a second chance to shift the flow of the battle, once one of their pokemons gets cornered, it will be an end. Julian decided to go first and took out his Pokeball, seeing Julian Alder did the same and took out his Pokeball and got ready to toss it into the battlefield. Julian threw his pokemon into the battlefield and released his pokemon, Alder also didn''t wait around and sent his pokemon into the battlefield as well. Julian sent out Haxorus while Alder sent out his Braviary, as both pokemon came out of their Pokeballs, they let out a powerful battle cry. Haxorusnded on the ground and roared as loud as he could, his roar shook everyone in the stadium, they could feel their heart rumble from the vibration in his voice. Braviary came out of its own Pokeball and screeched out loud, the screech of Braviary was sharp and piercing but yet it disyed dominance in it, people covered their ears as they tried to protect their ears from getting damaged. Both Julian and Alder chose their pokemon and now it''s time for their battle to begin, the referee stepped in and waved his gs signaling the beginning of the battle. Both Julian and Alder started the battle without waiting for the other to make a move. Julian "Use Dragon w" Alder "Use Wing Attack" Haxorus used his powerful legs and move towards Braviary, he extended his arms as massive dragon ws manifested around his arms, Braviary also dove headfirst towards Haxorus as it spread its wings wide. As they got close enough to exchange moves, Braviary turned its body in a way that its wings coulde in contact first. With the way it moved, it was able to slip its wing through Haxorus''s leading Dragon w and was about to make contact with Haxorus''s body but Haxorus blocked it with his other arm, the contact caused a powerful shockwave that blew up everything. The ground under Haxorus''s feet shattered and the cracks traveled through the whole battlefield, everyone cheered as they saw the devastating effect of their sh, these two pokemons were one of the strongest in the Unova region right now. The two pokemons shed, again and again, their battle caused the ground to tremble, rocks went flying everywhere, the whole battlefield became a mess just under five minutes, this was a legendary battle between two very powerful trainers. The crowd couldn''t hold their excitement at all, throughout their whole battle, they shouted and cheered at their every action and move. The battle is sooning to an end as both pokemons get ready to use their final move. Julian "Use Draco Meteor" Alder "Use Brave Bird" Two of them charged up their most powerful moves and headed towards each other, one of them will note out of this standing and will be the loser of this battle. As they were about to sh something happened. "Blue re" Suddenly a powerful beam of blue color me descended and hit both of them, the power from these three moves colliding was so strong that the stadium''s defense red up to protect the audience. The current circumstance was a huge shock to everyone, as soon as the smoke disappeared both, Haxorus and Braviary could be seen on the ground unconscious. ''What happened?'' This questioned echoed in everyone''s mind, even Julian was surprised by the sudden oue, he looked up at the sky to see who attacked them in the middle of a battle and that move right now was something Julian has never seen before. It was very powerful, and he could see the destruction that is left behind, the whole battleground haspletely disappeared, and the only thing that is left is a massive pit and inside this pit are his and Alder''s pokemon. He saw a massive white dragon floating up in the air next to a massive ck dragon and right in the middle is a Charizard and on the Charizard stood a young man with long green hair looking down on both Julian and Alder. It was very clear that this young man wanted to confront both Julian and Alder, but the biggest surprise to Julian was both Zekrom and Reshiram standing right next to this young man. Julian couldn''t figure out how this young man is able to capture both of these pokemon, from what he knows, those two don''t like each other, so what could it be that caused the sudden change? Julian became curious and a smile appeared on his face. He didn''t expect this from N but he liked it, he was d that he stayed behind and have this exhibition battle against Alder. Chapter 963 - Controling The Two Legendaries Just like Julian every other person present in the stadium saw N with his three pokemons, while his Charizard looked strong it gotpletely overshadowed by the two legendary pokemons that are beside N. Alder was shocked as well, he couldn''t believe he is seeing two legendary pokemons of Unova in one ce and that too controlled by one person, the young man he has met before, N. ?? Alder "N, how did you...." Alder cannot process his words as he cannot believe what he is seeing, just like him, every other person in the stadium is in awe in front of the two legendary pokemons that are hovering over the air. N "Today, I am going to put an end to your tyranny, I will liberate all these pokemon from your operation, I will be their protector and enforce strictws so no human will ever be able to oppress any pokemon ever again" N dered. Hearing N''s deration everyone present was shocked, they then suddenly burst out in anger and started to shout at N, they looked at N as if he was a mad person. Julian realized that the crowd is getting restless and this might lead to a disaster. Julian "Alder, I will handle N, you should evacuate the people" Julian said. Even though he was excited to see these two pokemons, his current priority right now is to get the people out of here before N does something foolish and hurt them, he is still not a criminal right now but once he attacks and if it leads to someone getting hurt or even die, N will be a criminal and he will be hunted for life. N is innocent and he doesn''t know how this world really works, seeing that he can control such powerful pokemons, people will try to corrupt him or use him if he decides to attack right now. Alder also knew this and decided to listen to Julian and informed the league, soon many league agents rushed in and started to escort the crowd out of the stadium, Julian kept his eyes on N and Gengar was on hold as well, if N does something stupid, Julian will have to suppress all three of his pokemon. It didn''t take long before the stadium became empty and now only Julian and N are left, Julian told Alder to note back and let him handle this. Julian "So we meet again" N "You defeated me before but this time, you have no chance of winning" N said and he descended down with his Charizard, Zekrom and Reshiram also followed right behind him, as they got closer, Julian could feel the powerful dragonic aura from those two along with their secondary element. Zekrom with its lightning which Julian has seen before and Reshiram with its fire, this is his first time seeing Reshiram and he was impressed but it, it looked very calmpared to Zekrom which felt very dominant in nature. Julian "Well let''s not talk about that, why don''t you tell me how did you capture those two?" Julian asked while pointing at two legendaries beside N? N "I convinced Zekrom to follow me with my ideals and then went to defeat Reshiram and capture it" N answered without hesitation. Julian "So you are saying, Zekrom decided to follow you and then you defeated Reshiram using it and capture it?" N "Was I not clear the first time?" N asked and frowned, for some reason he felt that Julian was mocking him. Julian ''So it doesn''t matter what kind of ideals a person has. If it''s strong enough Zekrom will follow it, the same should be with Reshiram, if it finds someone who believes that their thoughts are true, that person can have Reshiram follow them'' Julian thought as he looked at the two pokemons. Julian ''No wonder there was a huge war in the past, these pokemon don''t have the same insight as humans on what is wrong and what is right, if they find someone with ideals or truth that they follow, they will be attracted to them'' Julian figure out how to really control these two legendary pokemons, Zekrom believed that N''s ideals were strong so it decided to follow him and with the help of N, it was able to defeat Reshiram. These two pokemons can be the destruction of the world if they fall under the control of someone evil with ideals or beliefs which they believe are true, then the world will be in huge trouble. Julian "I am impressed by your achievement but I will have to ask you to stop this, you don''t know what you are doing" Julian said. N "I will never stop, I will make sure that every pokemon in this world is liberated from their human owners" Julian didn''t say anything, he had nothing to say, in the grand scale of things it didn''t matter what N thinks or what Julian thinks, it doesn''t even matter what the whole human race thinks. The concept of good at bad was formed by humans and to pokemons like Reshiram and Zekrom, they don''t give a shit about human ideology, under N''smand, they might be enemies of humanity as well. While in the grand scheme of things it really didn''t matter but in the eyes of humans, it mattered a lot and at the end of the day, Julian is a human as well so he will favor the whole human race over N''s ideology. He was raised in a closed environment where he was told that humans are bad and they force pokemon into submission, and the only human he was in contact with his whole life and he trusted, turned out to be someone who abandoned him and betrayed him. Julian "I don''t know what Ghetsis told you about humans but right now you are being ignorant, release those two pokemons from your control and go outside and experience how this world really is, you will find your answer" Julian said while holding onto a Pokeball tightly, both Zekrom and Reshiram''s eyes were locked onto this Pokeball that Julian was holding, they could sense a simr aura from inside the Pokeball but they could also feel that there was a huge change in it as well. Chapter 964 - The Battle Between The Legendries N clenched his fist tightly and gritted his teeth as he heard Ghetsis''s name. N "Don''t utter his name, that man used me, manipted me and both my sisters, just like every human he was evil as well, the biggest evil of them all" ?? N said. Julian "That is what I am trying to say, Ghetsis was an evil man, he locked you up somewhere his whole life and made sure that you never came in contact with the outside world until he believed he had full control over you? Do you really think every pokemon in this world are oppressed by their trainers? Pokemons are treated as a part of a family, people spend their happiness and grief with them. Yes there are people who hurt pokemons but there are many more who would risk their lives for their pokemons, don''t be blinded by your own ideals without seeing the other side of the wall, you will be surprised by what you will find" Julian said. N "Stop staling, today will be the day, I will defeat you, Julian, the strongest trainer, once you go down the rest of the world will have to follow mymand" N said and suddenly raised his hand and signaled to attack. Zekrom and Reshiram suddenly charged up and shot their moves at Julian, Zekrom used Thunderbolt while Reshiram used methrower, while Zekrom sent out purple lightning bolts, Reshiram sted blue mes. Julian "A battle it is then" Julian said and released the pokemon from the Pokeball he was holding, as soon as this pokemon entered the battlefield, the temperature suddenly dropped in an instant, and suddenly a massive wall of ice formed in front of Julian protecting him from the Thunderbolt and methrower. The two attacksnded on the thick wall of ice and slowly faded away, the ice wall was covered in cracks from the whole attack while the impact zone had a massive dent in it. The Ice wall shattered and came crashing down revealing a massive pokemon standing in front of Julian staring down on both Zekrom and Reshiram with its cold eyes. N was shocked to see this pokemon, it was Kyurem, the same one that Ghetsis tried to capture and for some reason, the aura around Kyurem felt different from the time he saw it at itsir. Zekrom and Reshiram''s aura also red up as they came across their own but they could sense that the iplete one was no longer ipletely anymore, even though it looked the same, there was something different about it. Julian "It is time to show them, you don''t need them to beplete, you found your own way" Julian said to his Kyurem. Kyurem turned towards Julian and looked at him, a few months ago this young man behind it told it that he will make it stronger, help it find something that willplete it and he did as he said. Kyurem feltplete, it felt its path was limitless right now, it started to understand the origin of its power which granted it the feeling of beingplete, it didn''t need Zekrom or Reshiram to fuse with to bring out its full potential. The three beasts of the legends are locked in an intense staredown. N "How did you capture it?" He asked as he was shocked. Julian "I defeated it then promised it to make itplete" Julian said. N couldn''t believe what Julian just said, even he couldn''t defeat Zekrom, Zekrom decided to follow it and that is how he was able to take down Reshiram but Julian is saying he took down Kyurem on his own, it sounded ridiculous. He had seen the power of Kyurem with his own eyes, it was as strong as his Zekrom and Reshiram. N "It doesn''t matter, it''s two against one, you are in a losing battle, better surrender and release all you pokemons" Julian "Do you really think, you are going to win against me?" Julian asked. N "I am done talking, Zekrom, Thunderbolt. Reshiram, methrower" Nmanded as both Zekrom and Reshiram aimed at Kyurem and released their powerful attacks. Julian "Ice Beam" Julian decided to counter back with Ice Beam, Kyurem channeled the inner power inside its body and shot a devastating Ice Beam at the two iing attacks. The Thunderbolt destroyed the air molecules in its path, the methrower vaporized the moisture from the air it came in contact with and the Ice Beam froze the air molecules along with the moisture forming snow along its path. As the Ice Beam collided with thebined attack from the two dragons, the attacks were forced into a stalemate, the Ice Beam was stopping both the Thunderbolt and the methrower at the same time. N was in shock as he saw this, he realized that Kyurem seems to be much powerful than it was when he saw it. As Kyurem was shooting the Ice Beam from its mouth, it suddenly raised its massive ws and aimed it at both Zekrom and Reshiram, and shot another two Ice Beam at them with its hands. Under Julian''s training, Kyurem learned how to control its energy within its body, and with a little assistance from the Omniforce, it was able to master its own element, that is ice. Now it didn''t need to use its mouth to attack its opponents, it could use any part of its body and attack, whether it is its chest, arms, legs, or even his tail. The two Ice Beams traveled very fast and hit both Zekrom and Reshiram catching them by surprise, both of them were sent flying and crashing against the stadium''s wall, the defense system was activated as it felt the whole stadium shaking from these two pokemons crashing into it. N was shocked, he looked back at Zekrom and Reshiram and saw them getting on their feet and rising up in the air as they destroyed the Ice that was forming around their body. Chapter 965 - Force Beyond Imagination Zekrom and Reshiram seem to have been pissed, they rose up in the air as they looked down on Kyurem, lighting crackled around Zekrom''s body as it shattered the ice that was trying to freeze it. Blue mes rushed around Reshiram''s body as it tried to melt down the ice. ?? As they tried to get rid of the ice, they realized that this ice is very stubborn and hard to get rid up, this forced both of them to use a little more of their power andpletely stop it, the lightning and the mes became very fierce as they tried to destroy the ice. The light from these two elements became blinding, as the light faded away, both pokemons had gotten ridden of the stubborn ice, they then locked their gaze onto Kyurem. While Reshiram kept its eyes on Kyurem, Zekrom''s vision shifted towards Julian, it realized that it had seen Julian before and it could also sense the terrifying entity that was hiding inside Julian''s shadow keeping an eye on them. The power that surrounded Julian was mysterious and caught Zekrom''s attention, Reshiram also noticed this but it decided to not pursue it and keep its focus on Kyurem. As for why Zekrom noticed Gengar''s existence? It is because it hade across both Julian and Gengar in the past, when it went to return Pikachu its power back, it noticed this human and the terrifying existence inside the human''s shadow. That is why it left as soon as possible after giving Pikachu its power back, it didn''t want to stay close to the terrifying existence as it felt the creepy stare even though they were kilometers apart from each other. ___________________ Kyurem looked at its two other counterparts and growled, it always felt like the odd one out in front of these two as it was the only one who was iplete but now it''s different, it''splete. It released its powerful aura and tried to suppress both its counterpart and rose up in the air as well. Zekrom''s switched its focus back to Kyurem as it noticed Kyurem taking the air. The air around the stadium was suffocating right now. If a human stayed behind they would suffocate just from the pressure being released by these three monsters. It then started. Zekrom roared causing dark thunderclouds to cover the whole city, people who already evacuated tensed up as they saw the looming thundercloud over them, they felt a massive amount of pressure on them. They all wished this will be over soon after. Alder who was with them to protect the citizens also watched as the clouds shed with lightning, he could feel the ground tremble even though the lightning was not touching the ground, he was witnessing the power of the legendary pokemon first hand, Zekrom, a force beyond imagination. Alder ''I hope Julian can handle this'' He thought. He had informed the league about Julian''s decision but from how the league reacted they didn''t seem worried about it, he even contacted Cynthia as he knew she was his girlfriend but also didn''t seem to be worried about this situation. Alder ''Julian, just what kind of power do you hold?'' He thought as he realized that the league and Cynthia had blind faith in him, to ovee not one but two legendary pokemons is not something even a while country can take down so how could just a single person do this? Back at the stadium, the sudden change in the surrounding caused the air to be even more suffocating, the aura from these three was bing denser and denser. Even N was now being affected right now, he does indeed control Zekrom and Reshiram but there seems to be a change in scenario, now the three beasts don''t care about who gets hurt and who doesn''t They are existence beyond human imagination, they really don''t care about what happens right now, they wanted to settle this right now, who is superior, Zekrom and Reshiram or Kyurem. Julian noticed both N and his Charizard having a hard time breathing. Julian "Did you really think controlling those monsters is easy? You did get recognized by Zekrom, but just like you, there are many others with very strong ideals that it can choose, just because they chose you doesn''t mean you can control them. To do so, you need absolute power which you don''t have, your ideals might be perfect in your eyes but in mine and everyone else in the world, they are wed, you will never win against me, listen to me, and travel the world and experience it yourself, the world that you know nothing about" Julian said and signaled Gengar to go and protect N. N suddenly went onto his knees as the pressure became too intense for him to handle, he could still listen to Julian and looked at him, he punched the ground and wondered why did he felt so powerless right now. He did his best, he wanted to liberate pokemons from their oppressor but listening to Julian made him question his ideologies and beliefs, he wondered what if Julian was right and he was lied to in believing that all humans are the same, all of them are evil and selfish. As he and his Charizard was about to faint from the pressure, they suddenly felt the pressure on them suddenly disappearing, they lifted their head and noticed that they are inside a dark dome, as they looked down on the ground, they saw two crimson eyes and a massive cheeky grin on the ground staring at them. This almost frightened the soul out of them. [Gegegegege, you are lucky] N suddenly heard the face on the ground speak, N could understand pokemons from a very young age so this was not a surprise to him. [Master told me to protect you that your partner over here, he would rarely tell me to leave his sight but he believes you are innocent, do as Master said and leave] Gengar said. N and his Charizard suddenly felt the space around them move, the ck dome around them suddenly disappeared and N and his Charizard found themselves far away from the stadium, closer to where the locals were taking refugee. Chapter 966 - The City Needs Protection N was taken by surprise, a second ago he was inside the stadium and was being crushed by the pressure emitting from the three legendary pokemons but now he is suddenly very far away from the stadium, he turned his head and noticed a lot of people were around as well. They all seemed worried and scared as they looked at the dark cloud crackling with lightning covering the sky, he noticed people and pokemon in distress trying to support each other right now, for the first time he noticed something like this. ?? He saw pokemons actively standing in front of people trying to protect them if things go wrong, same could be said for humans as well as they hugged their partners as they watched. At times like this N noticed that people and pokemon depended on each other. N ''Was I really wrong? My whole life I heard from pokemons that they were abused by humans, so why are these pokemons so attached to their human owners?'' He questioned himself, he might be innocent but he was no fool, he could see the bond between all these pokemon and human owners, this was not fake, at the time of crisis they came together. N then looked towards the grand stadium and noticed the swirling dark clouds that were sting lighting all over the ce, just one lighting would be enough to decimate an entire city and leave nothing but ashes. N ''I brought this crisis and I can''t do anything but just watch'' N thought and tightly gripped his fist, his nails dug into his palm as he started to bleed, seeing that N was bleeding, his Charizard got close to him and licked off the blood from his hand, N looked at his Charizard with teary eyes, he regretteding here. He thought he was doing to create a better world but he realized that he brought a disaster that could wipe out the whole of Unova. "Don''t worry everything will be fine" N suddenly heard a voice from behind as he felt someone grabbing onto his shoulder, he turned around and noticed Alder looking at him. N "I brought this disaster" He said with a heavy voice. Alder "As I said, don''t worry, everything will be fine" N "I am sorry, I should have listened to you" Alder "Don''t worry, we just need to wait for them to settle down" N "But how?" Alder "All I can do right now is believe in Julian" N "What can he do, at the end of the day, he is battling against two legendaries, the whole city will get destroyed" Alder "Let''s hope for the best, and make sure everyone is safe for now" Alder said and took N somewhere else, its not best for N to stay with others as he might get treated as a public enemy, Alder understands what N has gone through, he decided to take N under his wing from now on. As they made their way towards the back of the crowd, they suddenly saw somethinging towards the crowd, at first, it looked like a big green ball, but as this thing got closer, they realized that it was a big fat Snox. The Snoxnded on the ground which caused a massive tremor to travel through the area, some people stumbled and fell down and were scared by it. They then looked at the Snox who turned his back to them and sat down while looking at the stadium with hiszy eyes. N "A Snox?" N was shocked by this, he didn''t know that Snox could fly, Alder ''Hmm, doesn''t this Snox belong to Julian, this Snox should be part of his Kanto team, I didn''t think he was still carrying them around'' Alder thought as he looked at Snox who is just sitting there without any worries. ___________________ Back inside the stadium, Julian noticed that the three are about to go berserk, Zekrom and Reshiram are the kings of thisnd so the sudden appearance of Kyurem is equal to Kyurem challenging them for the throne. While Kyurem doesn''t want to rule thisnd, it wants to be the stronger of the three and this battle will decide it once and for all. Julian also knows this and he won''t stop Kyurem, he knows the danger this battle will bring, it can level this city and the viges and towns around it so he decided to send out some backup to protect the city from being destroyed. He took out and Pokeball and called out Snox, Snox entered the battlefield but sleeping, he was snoring loudly while the whole ce was about to copse just from the pressure that is descending down on the stadium. Snox didn''t even feel it, it was just like a gentle breeze or a thick nket covering him, he actually felt morefortable and started to snore louder. Julian sighed and tapped Snox''s head and woke him up, Snox opened his eyes and rubbed them, he then looked at Julian and got a little excited and hugged him as tight as he could, he has been sleeping for months now so he wanted to give Julian a massive hug. Even though Julian is strong, under Snox''s crushing hug even he feels breathless. Julian "OK, STOP, STOP, you are going to crush me" Julian said and freed himself from Snox''s grip, he then told Snox to head towards the direction of the city and protect it from getting destroyed. Snox nodded his head and looked up and saw three pokemons staring at each other, he didn''t care much about them and just jumped up. Chapter 967 - One Clap As Snox jumped, the ground beneath his feet shattered like ss, the whole ground caved in and copsed leaving a massive hole, once there was a battlefield and now there is just a big hole left. Julian had jumped into the audience area in time or he would have fallen into the hole as well. ?? He sighed again, he realized that Snox has grown stronger, there is no stopping him. Snox shot to the sky like a bullet, the three pokemon who were having an intense staredown suddenly felt danger and moved out of the way as they saw a massive blue shooting right between them and into the sky. They looked down and saw a destroyed ground and felt their heartbeat, Kyurem recognized the big blur of fat, it was the Snox who was always sleeping, for the first time, it ever saw it move and it was shocking. But it had no time to admire Snox''s power, it locked on its focus back on Zekrom and Reshiram. Zekrom and Reshiram who were still in shock by what just happened felt Kyurem''s gaze and went back to being alert, they waited for Kyurem to attack so they can counter and get the upper hand. Kyurem was done waiting, he roared and charged at Zekrom first using Shadow w, massive ws made of shadow covered Kyurem''s ws as he charged towards Zekrom. Seeing that it was getting targeted first, Zekrom roared and charged at Kyurem using Fusion Bolt, its body glowed and two balls made of lightning, one yellow and other purple fused together and powered up Zekrom. Reshiram saw an opening and got behind Kyurem, and used Fusion re, a fireball fused from a red and white ball of fires shot towards Kyurem from the back. Kyurem first swung his Shadow w directly at Zekrom, the contact of these two attacks was so powerful that the shockwave from it hit the grand stadium and reduced it to dust, even the protective shield of the stadium couldn''t withstand it and was shattered. But it was not over, Kyurem turned and swung its second Shadow w at the Fusion re that wasing towards it, another contact released the same amount of destruction. These two explosions and shockwave are separated by a second and the damage they left behind was devastating, once there was the grand towering stadium and now there are just rubbles. Even Julian had to escape or he would have been buried under those massive rocks, but it was not over, these explosions and shockwaves were spreading far and wide about to destroy the citypletely. People who are standing far away from the stadium panicked as they noticed the explosion traveling towards them, they didn''t even have the time to panic and everyone closed their eyes. But what happened next was even more shocking, Snox who waszily sitting inside the pit got to his feet yawning and spread his arms wide, and then pped. As soon as his two hands came in contact, the shockwave created from it was so powerful that it hit the iing explosion and shockwave and made them disappear as if they didn''t ur at all, the p was so loud that it felt like a giant meteor had crashed into the ground. It didn''t stop there, the shockwave from Snox continued forward and hit the destroyed stadium, and sent the massive rocks shooting through the air and into the ocean up north. Julian who was on Garchomp in the air saw this and his jaw dropped, Snox used a little too much of his energy. Julian [Snox, don''t overdo it] He sent a message as soon as possible, Snox who heard Julian inside his head got embarrassed and rubbed his head while looking at the destruction he caused, he had split the ground and clouds up in the air through his p just now. People who were behind Snox couldn''t believe what they just witnessed, the dark clouds that were hovering over the city were dispersed and now there is nothing but a clear sky with bright sunlight reaching down on them. They then burst into a loud cheer as they realized that this Snox just saved them but they still kept their distance as they knew he was a monster. Alder and N also saw this and were shocked by it, forget about the legendaries, they needed to get a Snox, this is what both of them had in mind. __________________ Julian sighed as he could tell that Snox was embarrassed, he then suddenly remembered about his Kyurem who was battling, Zekrom and Reshiram. Julian "Where did they go?" He asked himself and told Garchomp to travel a little further and as Garchomp flew a few kilometers up north, Julian saw all three legendary pokemons were on the ground knocked out cold. Seeing this Julian was stunned, these three were about to have an epic battle but Snox unintentionally ruined it all with just a p. The three strongest pokemon of Unova were in such a sorry state right now, luckily for them, no one was around to photograph it. Garchomp descended down with Julian on his back. Julian walked towards Kyurem and fed it some barriers to wake it up, Kyurem opened its eyes and looked around in shock, thest thing it remembered was it countering both Zekrom and Reshiram and when he was about to attack again, his whole body was swept by something so powerful that he lost consciousness the next second. Julian fed some barriers to both Zekrom and Reshiram as well and woke them up, they were also confused by what just happened, they were getting ready to defend themselves when they noticed Kyurem managed to block them and was about to counter them. But they suddenly felt like they are being swept by something beyond their realm and got knocked out, and now they are all here in front of Julian. Julian then looked at Kyurem. Julian "Looks like Snox ruined your battle but you don''t really have to, you are stronger than them and you don''t need to prove anyone, they know it, you know it, it''s settled" Julian decided it''s best for them to not battle, if they battle, it will really be troublesome, with what happened today, Julian doesn''t want it to take ce again. Kyurem understood Julian and nodded its head and got its answer, it then shivered as it realized all three of them were swept by Snox with one hit and that too unintentionally. Julian then walked towards Zekrom and Reshiram. Julian "You both have nothing to worry about, I am taking Kyurem with me so he won''tpete with you for thisnd, make sure you both protect it till the very end" Julian said and sent Kyurem back to its Pokeball, Zekrom and Reshiram looked at Julian before floating up in the air and disappear. Chapter 968 - The Aftermath And Reactions As Zekrom and Reshiram made their exit, Julian decided to return to the city as well, he got back on top of Garchomp and headed back to the city, when he got there, he could see a lot of league agents clearing up the people and sending them back to their homes. Thanks to Snox, not a single structure behind him was destroyed. But the ground in front of him was split into two, thend that had a massive stadium built on it is now reced by a deep canyon ?? Julian let out a forcedugh as he saw his Snox sleeping right inside a huge bit snoring loudly, he approached Snox and sent him back to his Pokeball, luckily for him, the league had already cleared out the people standing there so no one saw him with his Snox. As he walked out of the pit, he noticed Alder was standing there looking at him. Julian "Are the people safe?" He asked. Alder "Yes, they were escorted away by the league agents" Alder answered. Julian "That''s good, was anyone hurt?" Alder "None, thanks to your Snox" Julian "Well..." He said and looked at the destruction "He did cause a mess!" Alder "Indeed, luckily he wasn''t inside the city!" Julian "Indeed" Alder "So what happened with Zekrom and Reshiram?" He asked. Julian "They left!" Alder "Just like that?" Julian "What else could they do?" Alder didn''t say anything as he still remembered what just happened half an hour ago, even if it''s legendary pokemon, it wouldn''t matter, they will get swept away as well. He then wondered how Julian''s Snox became so powerful but he also knows not to interfere in other people''s private matters. Julian "What about N, how is he?" Julian asked. Alder "He should be fine, he is just a little bit shaken, his whole world view has changed all of a sudden and he needs some time to take it all in, and he needs to hide for a while as well since he is a public enemy right now" Alder answered. Julian "He definitely is! So what do you n to do with him?" Alder "I decided to take him under my wing, he has too much potential to be a great person, his whole life he has been kept in darkness, I think he needs a second chance to see this world in a better light and improve himself through his journey" Julian "I understand" Alder "So what are you nning to do now?" Julian "Well, I will be returning to Kanto" Alder "I see, then I will be taking my leave as well, I will be busy for quite a while because of that" He said andughed while pointing at the massive canyon, Julian alsoughed as the sun in the sky started to set turning the sky orange. _____________________ Julian returned back to Kanto after three days after the incident, during these three days many things happened, the whole world learned about the arrival of two legendary pokemons Zekrom and Reshiram, and how these two were controlled by a young man with green long hair. No one knew who this young man was but some imed to have seen him before with Team sma, just like that the young man got titled as a bad person, well this was to be expected, people were furious and especially Julian''s toxic fans. They hated this young man as he interrupted Julian''s battle against Alder, they shit on N all over the inte for the whole day. People also tried to figure out what happened inside the stadium and of course, the main discussion was about Snox. The people who watched the whole thing described it word by word but after reading those statements, many thought that they were exaggerating what happened, people believed that the group splitting was because of the action of the two legendary pokemons. Soon the amassed collection of all these stories caused a mess and no one could tell which statement was the real one, the league officials stayed silent and didn''t say anything, it was left for the people to decide. Even people who were not in the city came forward and told their made-up stories about the incident, soon the original statement from the people who actually saw the incident got buried under a lot of fake stories. Julian didn''t bother to look into this at all, he flightnded on Viridian City, this time he made sure no one finds out about himing back to Kanto. When his flightnded and he walked out of the jet, he was surprised to see the person who came to pick him up, it was Officer Jenny, the very first Officer Jenny he fucked. Seeing Julian, Officer Jenny got excited, she came prepared today, she made sure to wear a very tight short uniform, he could clearly see the tip of her red panty, the shirt she was wearing was also very tight, a single bottle was struggling to hold her shirt together. He could see her nipples popping out on her thin shirt, she was clearly not wearing a bra. He could also see her belly button peeking out from the gaps between the buttons, she wore a very tight shirt for a purpose, Julian could easily see her sexy figure which turned him on. Since he came in a private jet andnded on a private airfield there was no one present here except him and Officer Jenny. This was a surprise he would dly ept. Chapter 969 - Battling The Two Wives (18+) Julian walked towards Jenny who obediently waited for him next to her car, he then stood in front of her and checked out her figure properly, her soft long thighs, her slim waist, her big boobs which are about to pop out but the button is doing its best to keep it in ce. He put his arm around her waist and brought her closer to him, her breasts pressed onto his body tightly as she moaned lightly, his hands moved down and pressed her ass, they were as soft as he could remember them but he realized that they had gotten a little bigger than before. ?? He could tell that she has been working out. Julian "So you must have been working out?" Jenny "Just for you!" She replied. Julian smiled and pressed down on her pussy with his hand, he could feel her wet pussy, she was gushing down there, she was already imagining how Julian will dominate her in the bed tonight. Julian "Look at you, already so drenched, you slut" He said and put his wet finger covered with her love juice inside her mouth, Jenny without resisting started to suck on them and licked them with her tongue. Julian then focused on the ck car next to them, it was all ck fully armored and tinted, he smiled and looked at Jenny. Julian "Get in the front passenger seat, I will drive!" Julian said and got in the driver''s seat, Jenny followed and sat next to him with a seductive smile on her face and started to rub the bulge on Julian''s pants. Jenny "It''s been so long since I had a meeting with this big guy" She said giggling and continued to rub it. Julian "Then what are you waiting for, get that mouth of yours working" Julian said as he started the car and drove off, Jenny nodded her head and bent down and unzipped his pants, and exposed the Excalibur to her eyes. She started to stroke his dick while licking the tip, she then licked down the shaft and went back up, she then took the whole thing into her mouth, she took it very deep, the tip of his dick went up to her throat as she tried to choke on it herself. Jenny then got aggressive, she moved her head up and down faster and faster, her saliva made it easier for her to take it deep. She enjoyed this as much as Julian but he had to focus on driving right now as he just entered the city. Julian "You have gotten a lot better!" He praised her, her bj skills were at 9 right now before he would rate it just 6, she removed his dick from his mouth and smiled while licking her lips. Jenny "Well, a lot of practice helps a lot!" She said and giggled. Julian didn''t say anything and grabbed her neck and forced her head back to his dick, she started to deepthroat him again, more aggressive than before, the sound of her gagging filled the car. Julian could feel he was close toing so he grabbed the back of Jenny''s head and shoved it down deeper, Jenny''s eyes widened, as his while dick went right down her throat reaching the deepest part, even though she was doing her best to take it all she couldn''t but now Julian forced his whole dick inside her mouth, she was shocked. She gagged loudly and struggled a little, Julian then started to cum, he released a hot thick load down her throat, she didn''t even have to swallow it as it went all inside her. He released her once he was done, Jenny lifted her head up in a hurry and took a deep breath, and started to cough. She was taken by surprise but she liked it even more when Julian got rough with her, she licked off the excess cum from her lips and her hand that had dripped down. Julian "Fix yourself, for now, I am going to fuck you and your wife all night long" He said and stepped on the gas, Jenny got excited and started to rub her pussy through her pantie, she couldn''t wait for that long. They soon arrived in front of a house right at the edge of the city, this house is very close to the road leading to Pallet town, the reason why they bought this house at the edge of the city is because of Julian. Julian ys with this couple a lot, whenever he is in pallet town and needs someone by his side, he would always call these two and fuck them all night, they also never questioned him even once and did everything he asked them to do. Jenny and Julian got out of the car and walked into the house, as soon as Julian watched in he was greeted by another eye candy, he saw nurse joy standing in front of him barely with any clothes on her, she didn''t wear anything on top, she only had two heart stickers covering her nipples, the rest of her upper body is in full disy. She is only wearing a white apron around her waist covering her pussy but Julian could still see it as the apron was very thin and translucent. Joy "Wee master" She said and bowed at Julian, greeting him with utmost sincerity in her voice. One that just started of as a fling turned into aplex master/servant rtionship between them. Jenny "Not fair, how can you do this to me" Jenny entered and saw her wife barely clothed in front of their master, she seemed pissed as Joy was clearly wearing a more seductive outfit than her. Joy "Well, you were the one who insisted on fetching master so I had a little time to work on myself" Joy said and giggled. Joy "I hope master likes it" Julian "Oh, I definitely like it!" He said and approached Joy and put one of his arms around her waist and the other on her breast, he fondled her breast and started kissing her, his tongue entered her mouth and danced with Joy''s tongue. Jenny "Master, me too" Jenny rushed in as she saw her wife was getting all the attention right now, Julian stopped kissing Joy and looked at Jenny, he then grabbed Jenny with his other arm and lifted both of them of their feet, and took them to the bedroom. Both of them screeched in excitement. Once he entered the bedroom, Julian threw both of them on the bed and took off his shirt revealing his god-like physic, he then removed his pants revealing the Excalibur and climbed on top of the bed. Both Jenny and Joy got on their knees as they worshiped the holy rod in front of them. Joy started first and licked the tip of his dick while Jenny started to y with his balls, Joy then put his dick inside her mouth and started to blow him, she made eye contact with Julian as her head moved back and forth. Julian could see Joy''s slutty face as her lips stretched out every time she went backward. Jenny on the other hand stopped ying with his balls and started sucking them as if they are the best things she ever tasted. Julian was getting a little restless and he grabbed Joy''s head and shoved his dick deeper down her throat, Joy handled it much better than Jenny but she was still surprised, he then started to aggressively thrust down her throat. Joy''s eyes rolled up as she felt her throat expanding every time Julian''s dick went deep down her throat, his dick could be seen from the outward as her throat expanded every time he did so. Julian finally grunted and released a massive load down her throat, after he released it, he removed his dick and let go of Joy, Joy went weak and copsed on the bed, and started to breathe heavily, her eyes seemed lost, her mouth was open as her saliva poured down from the side. Seeing Joy in such a state, Jenny got excited and went and kissed her, licking of the cum from Joy''s mouth. Jenny "Geez, you drank it all" She said and even licked Joy''s cheek to not waste any of Julian''s cum Julian watched as Jenny tried to get every drop from Joy''s mouth, Joy still seems to be processing what just happened, he looked at Jenny''s uniform and realized how sexy she looks in this short slutty uniform. He could see her pussy through the translucent panty of her, he could see her pussy dripping down,pletely drenching her legs. He got behind her and grabbed her hip and shoved his dick inside her pussy without any warning, Jenny yelled in surprise and let out a loud moan as her eyes rolled over as Julian''s dick hit the deepest part of her vagina. He then started to ram her pussy causing Jenny topletely get turned off from her surroundings and only focus on Julian''s dick that is destroying her pussy. She moaned louder and louder as Julian increased his pace, he then grabbed her hair at the roots and pulled her head back, and started to squeeze her breast as tightly as he could, she let out another loud moan as she felt her breast being squeezed. He felt that her shirt was being a hindrance so he put a finger between the button that was keeping her two boobs in ce and popped it off, the great button was released of its burden. Jenny''s boobs burst out giggling, they then started to shake uncontrobly as Julian was pounding her hard from behind, Julian then grabbed one of her soft breasts and started to y with it, he squeezed them hard, pinched her nipples, and pulled them. He turned her breast red. Joy came back to he sense and noticed Jenny was getting fucked like a whore and her boob was bouncing over her face while the other was being yed by Julian. Joy also joined in and started to suck on Jenny''s other breast. Jenny moaned as she felt both her nipples being stretched, Joy sucked on them as hard as she could while nibbling on them from time to time, sometimes she would just bite them softly with her teeth and pull them a little and this made Jenny moan every time. Julian noticed that Joy''s pussy was free and was no getting any action so he used her other arm and jammed his finger into pussy and massaged her g-spot from inside, Joy let out a loud moan as Julian''s finger started to ravage her pussy from inside, she suddenly squirted all over the bed. Jenny also moaned louder as she came as well as Julian''s dick continued to ram her. He removed his dick from her pussy which started to leak Jenny''s cum as they were trapped inside due to his dick, Jenny copsed on the bed and tried to collect herself by breathing heavily. Julian then moved on to Joy and spread her legs wide open and removed the white apron blocking his few, he then started to eat her pussy as his tongue entered her vagina, Joy started to moan again as she felt the top of Julian''s tongue stimting her g-spot. Once he was done, he shoved his dick into Joy''s pussy and started to bang her as rough as he could, Joy could do nothing by grab onto the bedsheet tightly as she felt her pussy getting expanded and destroyed by Julian''s dick. Jenny collected herself and noticed Joy was being ravaged, she smiled and suddenly got on top of Joy''s face and ced her pussy right on top of Joy''s mouth while she pined Joy''s hands with her knees. Jenny started to moan as Joy started to lick her pussy, Jenny then aggressively started to move her hips on top of Joy''s face stimting herself evermore. Joy was now getting dominated by both Julian and Jenny, she couldn''t move her head, hands, or legs, while Jenny treated her face like a pillow and humped her, Julian had her whole lower body locked as he continued to pound her pussy into oblivion. Julian and Jenny looked at each other and kissed, their tongues danced inside their mouth as they continued to dominate Joy. Soon Joy came again as she experienced an earth-shattering Orgasm but Julian didn''t stop and continued pounding her pussy which was being destroyed. Joy wanted to tell Julian to stop but Jenny''s pussy was in her mouth and she couldn''t say anything, Jenny also squirted all over Joy''s face soon after, Julian also then grunted and released a massive load inside Joy''s pussy filling up her womb. The action didn''t stop and Julian continued to destroy every hole in both Jenny and Joy for the next four hours until he was finally satisfied. _____________________ The next day Julian bid farewell to his two servants who acted as his bum dumpster yesterday and headed to Pallet town with a big smile on his face. Chapter 970 - A Reporter From Kalos South of Kanto on a massive ind, Julian is sitting under a massive tree looking at his pokemons running around and having fun, there is not just his pokemon here, it looks like new pokemons found their way to this ind, and settled down here. With so many of Julian''s pokemons around, the weaker new pokemons felt safe. ?? Julian''s Unova team also got along very well with his older pokemons, at first they did get a little intimidated when they entered the ind but they soon calmed down when they realized that all the powerful pokemons living here belong to Julian. Their first ever encounter with one of Julian''s pokemon scared the shit out of them, even Kyurem got a little intimidated. When Julian brought his pokemon here on a boat, his Gyarados suddenly popped out of the water to greet Julian, and doing so, he scared all his pokemons, Gyarados is the emperor of this sea right now, just his size intimidates anyone around him so Julian''s Unova team were affected by it. Julian also found out that a few pokemons follow Gyarados around like his soldiers or guards, and those pokemons seem very strong as well. After having a terrifying encounter with Gyarados, meeting his other pokemons was not that intimidating afterward. While Julian''s Unova team didn''t find it hard to blend in, Kyurem was having a little trouble, its whole world view changed, when it lived in Unova, it thought itself to be one of the strongest pokemon in the world alongside Zekrom and Reshiram but aftering to this ind, it realized that there are monsters at every corner. It was not just Infernape, Gengar, and Snox, that were the monsters Julian was carrying, he had a whole army of them on this massive ind. It had to realize that it''s not the strongest one here, it is not even in the top 10, it realized that it has to be a lot stronger to be on top which is a very hard goal to achieve. But he is up for it, his goal is to reach levels simr to Gengar, the monster that hides in its master''s shadow. ______________________ Julian just watched and wondered about his visit to Kalos, he will be going to Kalos tomorrow, he will also be able to meet his fianc¨¦es as they work there, he will be able to spend more time with them, he also wants to catch many different pokemons from Kalos. Kalos is a very special region, the region is divided into three parts, Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos, and no pokemon of the same species can be found in two different parts in the wild, except if they were brought there by trainers. Every part of Kalos is filled with different species of pokemon and if he wants to catch a particr one, he will have to visit the specific part to catch one. He is excited to visit Kalos. He then started to wonder which two pokemons, he should take with him, Infernape, Gengar, and Snox, and Crystal will always be with him, after thinking for a while, he decided to take Kyurem and Darmanitan with him to Kalos. Crystal is still in its deep slumber and Julian has no idea when it will wake up, but he cannot wait around for Crystal to wake up, the system suspects Crystal to wake up in two months or so, as it took the same amount of time previously. It was time to leave, he called his pokemons and picked up Darmanitan and Kyurem, he then told the others to stay behind and train under their seniors and learn more about themselves and their energy. After bidding farewell to all his pokemons, he returned back to Pallet Town, as he made his way towards Professor Oak''sb, he was greeted by the people of Pallet Town, Julian was very well received here, even though he super popr, people of this town never treated him indifferently so he liked being around them. He made his way to theboratory on foot. When he got there, he heard explosionsing from the back, he got a little worried and rushed towards the backyard and was surprised to see someone familiar. It was Ash and his pokemon and he seems to have brought someone along with him, he didn''t remember who thisdy standing next to Professor Oak was. He approached them with a smile. Julian "Ash, you are back!" He said. Ash turned around and saw Julian which made his smile widely. Ash "Julian, yes, I just returned today?" Julian "How was the Pokemon Sumo Tournament?" He asked. Though Ash lost at the league, he continued to stay behind and attended some kind of Pokemon Sumo Tournament, Julian didn''t bother with it as he didn''t know what thepetition was about. Ash "Hehe, I won the tournament" He said and rubbed his hair, embarrassed. Julian "Good for you!" He said and looked at the woman who seems to be staring at him with her big eyes,pletely fangirling right now. Julian "And who is this?" He asked. The woman snapped out of her dazed state and suddenly introduced herself to Julian. "Hellooo, my name is Alexa, I am a reporter from Kalos, I came here to interview Professor Oak!" She said with a high-pitched excited voice. Julian "Oh, I see, wee to Pallet town then!" His attention was then caught by the massive pokemon with big wings standing there, he had never seen this pokemon in real life but he was still impressed by how majestic it looks, A Noivern. He got closer to examine Noivern as it is his first time seeing this pokemon, he has heard a lot about this pokemon, it''s a very fast flying/dragon pokemon and a good special attacker of a pokemon. Alexa "Be careful, he doesn''t like to interact with strangers!" Alexa warned him as she is worried about her Noivern causing Julian any harm. Julian "Don''t worry, it will be fine!" He said and approached Noivern, the Noivern growled at him and tried to scare him away but Julian just looked straight into its eyes. Julian "Now ease up, no need to be tense around me!" Julian said and rubbed Noivern''s big head, Noivern suddenly calmed down and looked much docile than before. Alexa "Amazing, my Noivern never lets its guard down around anyone other than me!" She said surprised. Professor Oak "Hahaha, this is expected from Julian, it''s like he and pokemons can understand each other, I am quite jealous of him, I wish I could do that!" Professor Oak said andughed. Alexa "Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She said while admiring Julian. Chapter 971 - Manmade Pokemons Julian was happy with Noivern reactions, a bit grump pokemon but with little training, this one can be a very strong pokemon, too bad it has already evolved so its potential is limited. He then turned towards Professor Oak. ?? Julian "Professor Oak, I will be leaving for Kalos tomorrow, you said you had something to tell me. What is it?" He asked. Oak "Oh, Ipletely forgot,e with me, Miss Alexa too two, we can continue the interview inside if you want!" Alexa "Ya, sure, I have no problem with it!" She said and followed Julian and Professor Oak into theb, Ash stayed behind to talk to his pokemons as he just got here. On their way, Alexa continued to ask Professor Oak some questions about how he takes care of pokemons left behind by the trainers. Soon they arrived inside theb, Professor Oak guided Julian towards the office and they stood in front of Professor Oak''sputer screen. Julian "What did you want to talk about?" Julian asked as he''s still confused about what Professor Oak wants. Oak "Do you know about a pokemon called Porygon?" Julian "I do know about it, a pokemon created through programing, I read that it can also travel inside the cyberspace" Oak "Oh, so you do know a little about it!" Julian "But what about it, I heard that there are only two in this world because its program cannot be copied!" Oak "Indeed, it was created twenty years ago by Dr. Akihabara, one of the greatest if not the greatest mind in the current world, too bad he is a little entric and thought to be slightly insane so he never got himself a huge name in the scientificmunity. Well anyways, the Porygons were to the scientific and pokemonmunity so they can be used for the further development of man and pokemon kind." Julian "I see, but where do Ie in here?" Oak "Well since there are two of them, themunity decided to give away one of them to a trainer and see how it will develop under a trainer,pared to the one developed under the eyes of pokemon professors and scientists, so I rmended your name and no one objected it!" Julian "Oh, but are you sure, from what I know, it doesn''t need to eat or breathe, so how do I raise it!" Oak "Well, it''s for you to figure out!" Julian "I see!" Oak "Among the two Porygons, one is a prototype called Porygon Zero and the other is aplete one which is Porygon, you will be getting Porygon Zero!" Julian "What''s the difference?" Oak "Well Porygon Zero being the prototype version is inferior to Porygon, the scientific and pokemonmunity didn''t want to hand over the better version!" Julian "One question?" Oak "What is it?" Julian "Do I have to return it after some time?" Oak "No, it will be yours to keep, you just need to give updates on its performance on a monthly basis!" Julian "What happens if I don''t?" Oak "Well themunity cannot force you to do anything and the league has authorized Porygon Zero under your ownership so if you want to deny giving updates, they can''t do anything!" Julian "I see" He said and nodded and started to think about it. Julian ''The league is being very careful, they trust me but they don''t trust the scientificmunity so they handed full ownership of Porygon Zero to me, if I find something interesting about it, they would highly like to keep that a secret from the world'' He knew how the league thought but he needs to confirm his suspicion, he decided to call Cynthia and inquire about itter. Julian "So where can I get this Porygon?" Oak "Kalos, Professor Sycamore''s Laboratory, has Porygon Zero with him, he will hand it over to you once you get there!" Julian "So that''s it?" Oak "Well, I would like you to talk to Professor Sycamore for now" He said and called Professor Sycamore and let Julian talk with him, he then took Alexa with him and walked out of the room leaving Julian alone. Julian and Professor Sycamore talked for a while about the Porygon Zero, Professor gave some rough exnations to Julian about Porygon Zero and its abilities, he then told Julian that he will get a full picture once he visits him in Lumiose City. As he was talking he heard more explosionsing from outside, he ended the call and walked out to see a Meowth hot air balloon and the three idiots standing inside. Julian "It''s those three idiots again!" He said while looking at them, he decided not to take action as he could see Ash was there with most of his pokemon, even his Charizard was present so there is no way those three can do anything. Ash then told all his pokemons to attack, all of them attacked the balloon without holding back and sent Team Rocket flying again. Julian "I should get ready to go to Kalos!" He said and walked back to his own house, he has to catch a flight to Kalos tomorrow. Chapter 972 - Arriving At Kalos It was time for Julian to head to the airport at Viridian City, he had already packed all his stuff, he chose Darmanitan and Kyurem toe with him this time. He left Garchomp and Victini behind and let them spend their time on the ind and enjoy themselves. ?? He got on his bike and left his house, on his way out of the town, he noticed Ash, his mom, Professor Oak, and the reported from Kalos he met yesterday, he stopped right in front of them and looked at Ash. Julian "You are already leaving?" He asked. He was surprised that Ash is heading out so quickly, he got here just yesterday. Ash "Yes, I wanted to go to Kalos, I can''t contain my excitement to see new pokemons and win the Kalos league" He said. Julian "I see, meet you in Kalos then" Ash "Are you not going toe with us?" He asked. Julian "No, I will travel in a private jet, I cannot be seen around in public, it might get very dangerous" Ash "I see!" Ash did mature a lot, if it was before, he wouldn''t understand why Julian said so but now he does, even he has experienced a little bit of fame, being one of the youngest and prominent trainers from Kanto, the league has been keeping a very close eye on him. They have even given him a lot of money for him to use during his journey, Ash also gets recognized by people sometimes and he knows it can be a hassle when strangers get toofortable and shove their phones and cameras all over the trainer''s face. What Ash experienced was already overwhelming for him, he didn''t even dare to imagine how Julian feels like. Julian "See you in Kalos then!" Julian said and rode off towards Viridian city to board his jet, he was received by Sk who was patiently waiting for him, she got excited when she saw Julian but maintained herposer. Julian "Let''s go!" Julian said and got into the jet, Sk nodded her head and went inside as well, she went into the pilot cabin and started the jet and they flew towards Kalos. Julian watched through the window as he could see the Viridian city bing smaller and smaller as the ne flew up higher in the sky. Julian "Well, it will be very long before Ie here again!" He said and sighed, closing his eyes, he wondered what Kalos will really be like, he wondered how Kalos really is, his fiancees who lived there described it as a wonderful ce to live but unlike him, they don''t travel around, visit every city, town, and roads. The best way to learn about a region is to experience everything that the region has and that can only be aplished by walking on foot and experiencing it on his own. Kalos is filled with pokemons, there are more species of pokemon living in Kalos than any other region he has visited till now, with arge number of species allowed him to have a wide choice of pokemons that he could catch and train. Julian closed his eyes and decided to take a long nap, Kalos is very far away, it will take a whole day for him to reach Kalos. _____________________ Julian slowly opened his eyes as he felt the ne descending downward, he looked outside the window and saw a massive city, he could see that this city was connected to different cities and stood in the middle of the region. Even though the city looked small from where Julian is right now, he could tell that this is the biggest city he has ever seen, he could even see the tall tower that was in the middle of the city. Julian ''So this is Lumiose city!'' He thought and smiled, the jet continued to descend down at a rapid speed, he then heard Sk''s voice as she warned Julian and instructed him to wear the seatbelt. The jet soonnded on a privatending field, once the jet stopped, Sk walked out of the cabin and greeted Julian once again, Julian smiled and walked out of the jet, he smiled again as he saw both his Fiancees, Chloe and Daisy waiting for him. He smiled and waved at them and they did the same. Julian "I didn''t expect you two toe here!" He said but he was expecting them toe, just like him, they couldn''t wait to meet him, they didn''t even waste time to use words, they just jumped into his arms and hugged him as tightly as they could. Julian "You guys are going to suffocate me!" He said andughed, the girls couldn''t contain their excitement, they waited for quite a while to meet him and now he is finally here in Kalos. They can visit him whenever they want. The girlsughed and finally let him go, they looked behind him and noticed Sk, one of Julian''s servants, and nodded at her, she also did the same and nodded back at them with a smile on her face. Sk knew that these two are Julian''s to-be wives so she knew her standing. Chloe eyed Sk for quite a while and thought of some things and revealed a mischievous smile. Chapter 973 - First Day In Kalos Daisy and Chloe nodded their head at Sk and dragged Julian away and shoved him inside a red car and drove off. Sk also made her way to the airport''s lounge. ? ? Julian was brought in front of a massively tall building which is very close to a studio, Chloe told him that she works there and the studio provided her a ce to stay, Julian looked around and noticed that the security here was quite good. There are security guards at the entrances, there are many CCTVs cameras as well, he was a little relieved seeing these, even though they are protected by his pokemons he is still worried about their safety sometimes, what if they are inside their Pokeball and not present at the scene, things could go bad. Julian was d that the studio paid a lot of attention to security. All three of them got out of the car and headed towards the building, at the entrance he could see guards holding metal detectors and scanning everyone that enters, even the ones that live here. Daisy first entered and was greeted by guards, Chloe followed right behind her, and then it was Julian who entered as well. Since he had his face covered the guards were extra careful with him, they asked him to remove his mask but Chloe stepped in and informed them that he is her fianc¨¦. The guards were surprised and suddenly realized who this person in front of him really is, they backed away and let Julian enter as well. Chloe and Daisy then escorted him to their room, when he entered their room he could smell the fresh fragrance that lingered in their room, he entered the room and looked around. He saw a lot of decorations around, there were paintings and expensive art ced around the room, he also saw a few posters of Chloe hung on the wall, one of them being her debut movie poster. He also saw his own posters hung on the wall as well, not just one but all four league victories of his were turned into posters and hung on the wall. Julian "I like the room!" He said and looked back at Chloe and Daisy. Chloe "You will like the bed even better!" She said and giggled. Daisy "But not now, you need to freshen up, you must be tired after the long flight!" She said and held onto Chloe and didn''t let her advance on Julian. Chloe "Geez, you are such a mood killer!" She said and backed off, Daisy then handed him a bath towel and pushed him inside the bathroom. Julian freshened up and got out of the bathroom with just the towel around his waist, when he got out, he was greeted by both of his fianc¨¦es on the bed waiting for him in their lingerie. Then for the next few hours, the three of them didn''t hold back at all as they let their desire loose. Once they were done, both Chloe and Daisyid exhausted and satisfied on the bed as they rested their head on Julian''s chest. Daisy "So what do you n to do?" Julian "I n to visit Professor Sycamore, he has something waiting for me!" Chloe "When will you be leaving?" Julian "I will meet with Professor Sycamore tomorrow and then n where I will be visiting next!" Daisy "Won''t you even spend a week here?" Julian "Don''t worry, If I want to meet you two, I can juste and visit, it will only take me a few hours depending on where I will be!" Chloe "You better!" She warned. Julian "Don''t worry, I will spend a lot of time in Kalos, it''s a massive region!" He said and kissed both of them, they then cleaned up and went out for dinner, came back, had more sex, and fell asleep. _____________________ The news about Julian being in Kalos soon started to spread like wildfire, and it was not very hard for people to guess where he would be living right now, the obvious choice would be at his fianc¨¦es'' ce. The next morning, Julian woke up as he heard amotioning from outside, he put on a shirt and walked out of the balcony and saw arge number of reporters waiting outside for him, he sighed seeing this. He just got here yesterday and they already know where he is leaving. "Looks like they are here to see you!" He heard Chloe''s voice from behind as she hugged him from the back, he didn''t respond but just smiled and held her hand. Chloe "I am really jealous, even I don''t get this much attention though I am a celebrity!" She said andughed. Julian "Then do you want to switch ces?" He asked. Chloe "No way, I can never handle such a massive fan following, I have seen your fans, even I am not safe from them!" She said andughed. She has read some online threads about her being Julian''s girlfriend and now fianc¨¦es, most of his fans like her but there are also who call her a gold-digger and is using Julian''s name for her own benefits and sometimes these posts would just stand out a lot and it hurt her a lot. But she also knew that the inte is not a ce where people will agree with one particr thing, no matter how good or bad it is, she knew that these threads don''t matter because what she has between Julian and her is something special that no other person has. Chloe "You should get ready, you said that you have an appointment with Professor Sycamore!" Julian "I wish I could stay with both of you for a while longer but I can''t make Professor Sycamore wait much longer. Wake up Daisy, I will make breakfast!" He said and turned around and walked inside, Chloe also smiled and followed him inside and woke up Daisy, Daisy woke up and rubbed her eyes, her legs still felt weak from thest nights pounding, Chloe told her to get ready as both of them have work and Julian also needs to leave. The three of them soon had their breakfast and got ready to leave. Chapter 974 - Trouble Follows Him On his way out of the apartment, he made his way towards the underground garage while Chloe and Daisy took the front gate to go out, Julian used his superbike and wore a different set of clothes to avoid being recognized by the public and escaped from the media. When Chloe and Daisy walked out, they got swarmed by the media but they were disappointed when they didn''t see Julian, Chloe and Daisy acted as bait for Julian''s escape. ?? Julian made his way towards Professor Sycamore''s pokemonb, Julian was surprised by how big this city really is, when he saw it from the top, it looked really big but being in the city was apletely different experience. Since the city is circr in shape, the roads are designedpletely differently, the only straight roads that can be found are the ones that head towards Prism tower which is the center of the city. Professor Sycamore''sb is located on the far side of the city which made it a lot longer for Julian to get there, he soon found theb, unlike Professor Oak''sb which is situated on top of a hill and has a massivend behind it, Professor Sycamore''sb is right between two massive buildings. Theb itself looks quite big, as he was about to enter theb, he heard a very powerful roaring from inside which was then followed by the sound of explosions, this startled him and he rushed in to see what was happening. He kicked open the door sending it flying and what he saw inside surprised him, he saw a rampaging Garchomp, Ash with some new kids around him, Professor Sycamore and hisb assistant, and of course the reason behind the current incident. The three idiots from Team Rocket, Jessie, James, and Meowth. Julian nced at the Garchomp and noticed some kind of weird energy ring that was glowing red around its neck and causing it pain. Julian frowned seeing this and stared at Team Rocket. Julian "You three idiots, what did you just do?" Julian asked in a verymanding voice, hearing his voice everyone stopped and looked at the entrance, they saw a man in a red jacket looking coldly at Team Rocket. The three idiots also turned around and saw Julian and froze on the spot, even though this person''s face was under a mask, they could never forget who he really is. They trembled in fear and took a step back. Meowth "We are fucked, nyaaaa~" He said while sweating bullets, both Jessie and James''s face also turned as white as a sheet, but before Julian could take any action. The rampaging Garchomp suddenly used a Dragon Pulse and shot it at the team rocket trio and sent them sting through the wall, the three disappeared like a shooting star. The Garchomp didn''t stop and started using Dragon Pulse and tried to destroy everything, the Dragon Pulse was aimed straight at Julian so he moved to the side and dodged it, it then continued its rampage and shot Dragon Pulse at other people inside the room. Julian rushed towards the little blond girl and swooped her away from the Dragon Pulse, the little girl was scared and tightly held onto Julian''s jacket. The Garchomp seems to be in a lot of pain as it took flight and went right through the wall and escaped. Julian "Ash go after it!" Julian shouted at Ash, Ash snapped out of his state and nodded his head, and charged at the door but he was suddenly stopped by a small blue frog-like pokemon who decided to join him, as Ash, Pikachu, and the blue frog pokemon rushed out of theb to chase after the Garchomp. Julian put the little girl down, a blond boy who seems to be around Ash''s age rushed towards the little girl and hugged her tightly. "Are you fine?" He asked worried while checking her. "I am, this uncle saved me." She said and pointed at Julian. Julian "Uncle? Do I sound like an uncle to you?" Julian was stunned, he was never called Uncle till now, this hit his nerve. "I am so sorry, my sister doesn''t know what she is saying!" The blond boy started to apologize in frustration. "Bro... I feel sorry for Garchomp..." The little girl said with a worried tone. "Let''s go to!!!!" The blond boy in sses said and rushed behind Ash along with his little sister. Julian sighed seeing this, he totally forgot how unlucky Ash really is, wherever he goes trouble follows right behind him. Sycamore "Check on the other pokemons!" Sycamore ordered his assistant, his assistant nodded and rushed inside leaving Julian and Professor Sycamore and Julian alone, Sycamore looked at Julian and walked towards him. Sycamore "Thank you for your help, may I know who you are?" Sycamore asked as Julian''s face was covered. Julian "It''s me" Julian said and removed his mask revealing his identity. Sycamore was surprised but d at the same time. Sycamore "Mr. Julian, it''s d to finally meet you but the current circumstances are not one where we should be showing hospitality." Sycamore said. Julian "Indeed, let''s go" Julian nodded and walked out with Professor Sycamore. Julian "Do you know where Garchomp is headed?" Julian asked. Sycamore took out his phone and checked the live broadcast that was being broadcasted live right now. Sycamore "Garchomp is headed towards Prism Tower!" He eximed. Julian "Let''s go then". Chapter 975 - Saving The Garchomp The city was in chaos right now because of the rampaging Garchomp, all roads leading to the Prism tower are blocked and the people who are living near the Prism tower and informed to stay at home. Julian and Sycamore finally arrived in front of the Prism tower and were surprised by the current situation, Garchomp is on top of the Prism tower and a few meters from the Garchomp is a boy in a blue jacket trying to approach Garchomp. ?? Julian was really not surprised by seeing this, he has seen Ash risking his life multiple times to save his and other pokemon alike, but he is still worried about Ash. Sycamore "Mr. Julian, you should help Ash!" Sycamore eximed as he was worried about Ash. Julian "We should observe, for now, it can be dangerous to step up now, the Garchomp is cornered, it couldsh out of we step in right now" Julian said and looked as Ash was slowly making his way towards Garchomp. Julian [Gengar, be on alert, if things go bad, rush in] Julian informed and waited to see what happens, soon the situation changed as Ash was able to get close to the Garchomp and wrap his arms around its neck, the little blue frog pokemon used some sticky foam around its neck to pin down Garchomp and Pikachu used Iron Tail to split the energy ring around Garchomp''s neck to free it from its pain. Garchomp seems to have calmed down and Julian sighed seeing this, he couldn''t have done a better job, but as soon as the situation calmed down, the edge of the tform where Pikachu was standing suddenly copsed. Pikachu suddenly started to fall down, seeing this Ash jumped right after him without a second thought, this was clearly a suicidal move, falling from such height will cause instant death. Julian [Gengar, now] Seeing that Ash was falling down very fast, Julian''s Gengar made his move, he shot out of Julian''s shadow and rushed up the tower at an insane speed, and was able to grab both Ash and his Pikachu, as soon as Gengar made the save, a pokemon zing in fire shot by them. It looks like this pokemon was also trying to save Ash and Pikachu but Gengar got there before, Julian looked at this zing pokemon that made its way towards the roof and stood next to a man in a weird shy costume. Julian "Isn''t that Mega ziken?" Julian asked himself, Sycamore also heard this and looked at the rooftop and saw the man in shy costume and the Mega ziken disappear. Julian "Who was that person?" Sycamore "I think it''s the Vignte called ziken Mask" Sycamore said. Julian "It''s been a while since I have seen a Mega Evolved pokemon" Julian said, even though Mega Evolution was found some time ago not many people are using it right now as its quite unpredictable, pokemons can lose control and be very aggressive once mega evolved, that is why only trainers who can fully control their pokemons and are strong enough can try mega evolution. Sycamore "Indeed, it''s hard for trainers to control their Mega Evolved pokemon, there were so many cases of injuries when the concept was very new to people, nowadays people are very careful" Sycamore answered. Julian "It''s for the better I guess" Sycamore "Luckily the research into Mega Evolutions has progressed a lot, this has helped the general public in understanding Mega Evolutions a lot better, now more trainers have ess to the information" Julian "It''s thanks to you, you have dedicated a lot of time to Mega Evolutions" Julian said while looking at Sycamore. Sycamore "I can''t take all the credit, you were one of the very first people to have a Mega Evolved pokemon fully under control, it was your data that helped us understand it much better" Sycamore said andughed. As Julian and Sycamore were having their conversation, Ash rushed towards Julian. Ash "Julian, thank you for saving us!" He shouted which caught the attention of everyone around them, Julian was caught off-guard, he looked around and noticed that a lot of people are staring at him, they even started to take out their phones and take pictures of him. Julian "Professor Sycamore, Ash, I will be heading back to theb, I will meet you there" Julian made an escape before he gets surrounded by every person around Prism Tower. ____________________ Julian arrived back at theb, from the outside it looked like a mess because of all the destruction Garchomp has caused, as he walked through the gate he saw a beautiful woman with blue hair wearing a whiteb coat cleaning the pathway as it was filled with rubbles. He had seen this person before, she is none other than Professor Sycamore''s assistant, the assistant noticed a person in reding towards her, she put the broom to the side and looked at the guest, she had seen this man before, she remembered seeing him saving the little girl but she still doesn''t know his real identity. "Hello, my name is Sophie, I am Professor Sycamore''s assistant, how can I be of any help to you?" She asked and bowed at Julian. Julian "Nice to meet you, I will wait for Professor Sycamore toe back from the Prism tower" He answered. Sophie "Oh! Did the situation calm down?" She asked. Julian "Yes, you don''t have to worry about it, the others are on their way" She nodded and watched the man in the red jacket make his way into theb, she didn''t know who this was but she was grateful. Chapter 976 - Meeting Ashs New Friends Professor Sycamore, Ash, and his new friends returned back to theb with the Garchomp which is notpletely calm. When Sycamore got there, he was informed by Sophie about the person in the red jacket waiting for him inside theb, Sycamore nodded and went into theb, Ash and his two new friends followed Sycamore back in theb. ?? _________________ Julian was standing in front of an artificialke that was built inside theb for pokemons to live in, there are also other pokemons living here in theb but most of these pokemons are quite small, Julian understands why most of the pokemons are small. It''s because of budget, with bigger pokemonses bigger spending so most Professors like to keep small pokemons in theirb while going to the wild to observe other pokemons. The only exception is Professor Oak, he is one of the richest and most famous Pokemon Professor, the amount of funding that Professor Oak gets is more than any other professor under the league''s jurisdiction, that is why he is able to take care of all the pokemons that live behind hisb, while some of those pokemons enter the wild, others stay behind as they feel much safer there. Professor Sycamore might be the main Professor of Kalos but he is nowhere near Professor Oak''s level. Julian just stood there and watched the pokemons y around when he heard footstepsing towards his direction, he turned his head and noticed Professor Sycamoreing towards him along with Ash and the two blond kids, the little girl seems to be around five to six years old while her brother is the same age as Ash. Julian looked at them and wondered who they are, Julian is always surprised by Ash''s ability to make friends in seconds. He then looked at the Garchomp standing next to Professor Sycamore, this Garchomp was the same one that went berserk and caused havoc in the city, luckily it looks like it is back to its normal demeanor. He approached the Garchomp and took a good look at it, he patted its head and realized that this Garchomp is very docile and calmpared to the ones he has encountered before, though this one is a female, female Garchomps are not known to be docile either. Even female Garchomp are alert and don''t take a liking to strangers, but this one was friendly from the very start, his Garchomp is also very aggressive towards strangers. He was surprised by how friendly this Garchomp was, it even snuggled its head on Julian''s hand, Julian smiled and rubbed its jaw as well, it''s not easy to encounter such a friendly Garchomp. Julian "Such a good Garchomp, she has been trained well" Julianplimented and looked at Professor Sycamore. Sycamore "We try our best to provide the best environment for the pokemons that live here, Garchomp here is also the pokemon I am using to study Mega Evolution as well." Sycamore exined. Julian nodded and looked at Ash. Julian "You did well, saving Garchomp but you shouldn''t put yourself at risk like before" Julian warned Ash. Ash "Ahh! I don''t know, I just jumped without thinking, haha" Ashughed while scratching his head. "ARE YOU REALLY JULIAN?" The little blond girl shouted excitedly as she stared at Julian with sparkling eyes, Julian was caught off-guard as the little girl shouted out of nowhere. Julian removed his mask and smiled at the little girl. Julian "I am" Julian said looking at the little girl and crouched down in front of the little girl. "Oh my Arceus, you really are Julian, I am a huge fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed in excitement and danced around before looking at Julian again. "Hello, my name is Bonnie and this is my brother Clemont" The little girl introduced herself and then her brother who was standing beside her, the boy with blond hair is also staring at Julian as well. Julian "Nice to meet you, it looks like Ash made good friends" He said and smiled. Clemont "Ni..Ni...Nice to me...meet you too!" Clemont said and bowed his head, Julian could tell that the boy is very nervous, he is nothing like his little sister who is very extroverted and cheerful all the time. Julian "Ease up, no need to be so tense around me" Julian said to Clemont but it didn''t seem to work, it just caused Clemont to get more worked up. Julian decided to let the boy alone because the more he talked with Clemont the more worked up he got, Julian then decided to talk to Sycamore and ask him for the reason why he is here. Julian "Professor Sycamore, I think it''s time" Julian said. Sycamore "Ah! I totally forgot about it, let''s go." He said and guided Julian into theb again, Ash and his new friends followed right behind them as well as they were curious about what Julian is talking about. All of them entered theb and headed towards the underground facility, Sycamore beeped his watch and called for his assistant as they will be headed towards the underground facility where the Porygons are kept. Julian is a little excited to see them as he wants to see the Porygons as they are even rarer than legendaries, they are the very first man-made pokemons. Chapter 977 - First Pokemon In Kalos Professor Sycamore guided Julian and the rest to the underground facility of theb where most of theb experiments seem to be being held, the group soon arrived in front of a big metal door. Professor Sycamore used his keycard and scanned it against the card reader which opened up a biometric scanner, he then ced his palm on it which caused the door to open. ?? As soon as the door opened, all of them entered, Julian looked around the room and noticed a lot of high-tech equipment around the room, they were just like the ones he saw in Professor Oak''s Lab. Since Professor Oak is rich he just has a little morepared to Professor Sycamore, Professor Sycamore is funded by the league while Professor Oak gets a lot of money has he has a big share in Julian''spany and he also gets massive funding from the league as well. Professor Sycamore''s assistants soon entered the room, Julian turned around and looked at them, one of them is a tall woman with blue hair, green eyes, wearing sses and ab coat, Julian had seen her before in front of theb when she was cleaning away the rubbles. The other assistant is a short girl with short magenta-colored hair, when they entered the room they saw the man in a red jacket and this time he was not wearing his mask so they easily recognized him, they were shocked and taken back. They didn''t expect the man in the red jacket to be Julian. Sycamore "They are my assistants, Sophie and Cosette" He introduced both of them, the assistant with blue hair and sses is Sophie while the one with magenta-colored short hair is Cosette. Julian smiled and greeted them with a smile head nod and they did the same out of reflex as they were still overwhelmed by his presence, without his mask they were finally able to look at him up close and they couldn''t take their eyes off him as he was really handsome. They knew he is handsome as they have seen him on tv many times but his presence was very different in real life. Sycamore "Sophie, Cosette, help me with the Porygons" Sycamore told them and headed towards a closed capsule, Sophie and Cosette walked towards the closestputers and started to check on the vitality disyed on the monitors. Sophie "Professor, everything is normal, there should be no risk" Sophie said as she didn''t find anything wrong with the data on the monitor, since Porygon is a pokemon that ispleted made from 0s and 1s, its condition can be only checked through a monitor, like other pokemons, it doesn''t need to eat or breathe. Sycamore "Since nothing is wrong, let''s take it out" Sycamore said and opened up the closer capsule which contained a Pokeball inside, this Pokeball looked like any normal Pokeball but it had a line of golden color going around it. Sycamore picked up the Pokeball and released the pokemon from inside, a bright light shed and a pokemon soon entered everyone''s sight, it was a very weird-shaped pokemon. Its whole body had sharp edges from head to tail, its legs looked like irregr pentagons, Julian looked at this weirdly shaped pokemon with curiosity, he couldn''t figure out anything about this pokemon as it is a man-made one, he needs to study it properly and figure it out. He approached the Porygon who just sat there without doing anything, it looked lifeless like a toy, this pokemon reminded Julian of Yesh, he was just like this Pokemon, lifeless for some reason but unlike Porygon he still had a goal. This pokemon in front of him just felt like apletely empty shell that would do anything onmand. Julian didn''t know how to feel about it, he wondered if this pokemon is even a living being in the first ce, the only thing that made it look even a little lifelike is because of its eyes, the ck pupil inside its eyes followed Julian as he walked towards it. Julian picked up the Porygon and looked at it carefully, this felt new to him as this was different from any pokemon he has ever seen or been in contact with, he couldn''t read its mind as it''s just 0s and 1s, it listens tomands and just does things. Julian didn''t know how he will tackle this new challenge that has been thrown at him but he is excited and he also had a cheat to deal with this challenge. Sycamore "This Porygon is Porygon Zero, he is the prototype version, the real one will be kept under the pokemon science and research department" Julian "I understand" Julian said and nodded. Sycamore "I don''t know if you will be able to really train Porygon but if you can''t, you can return it back" Julian "I like challenges, this will be an interesting one" Julian said and stared right into Porygon''s eyes, those cold weird-shaped eyes looked weird, just like a toy. Sycamore "Okay then, here is its Pokeball" He said and passed the special Pokeball to Julian, looked at the Pokeball, he could tell that it was different from ordinary Pokeball. Julian "Is this Pokeball Special?" Julian asked as he was curious about this weird pokemon, he wanted to know more. Chapter 978 - Porygons Pokeball Julian looked at the weird Pokeball in front of him and asked Sycamore if this thing is any different from a normal Pokeball. Sycamore "This Pokeball is indeed different, this Pokeball can connect to yourputer from which he can monitor Porygon''s status, this Pokeball can also help Porygon enter the inte and live inside the cyberspace if youmand it to" ?? Sycamore exined. Julian realized that this Pokeball was simr to a data cable which can be used to connect Porygon to hisputer, since this Pokemon is a collection of data this can be very useful. Julian took the Pokeball and kept it with him. Julian "I have one more question?" Julian asked. Sycamore "What is it?" He was ready to answer any questions that Julian had. Julian "Can Porygon evolve?" Sycamore "Indeed, we actually have upgrade files that can be sent to Porygon which can trigger an evolution but everyone decided not to evolve the Porygons as the risk of losing control over it is very high and a pokemon like Porygon, which can alter data of the inte is very dangerous" Julian "I see, can I get them?" Sycamore "Hmm... I don''t know, I think it is possible but I think its best if we recheck the code before we hand it over to you, till then you should learn more about Porygon through your own means" Julian "I understand" Julian said. He was done with his questions, once he was done Ash and his friends approached Julian as they wanted to see the Porygon as well, Ash was very excited seeing a pokemon like this, even though Porygon didn''t respond no matter what Ash did, he didn''t seem discouraged by it at all. (A/N - I decided to make Ash be introduced to Porygon as apletely new pokemon to him, even though there was an episode of Ash meeting Porygon in the anime, the episode was removed due to some problems, I didn''t want to go back and search for that episode and see what happened, so I decided to make this a fresh start, Ash is meeting Porygon for the first time). While Ash was excited about the Porygon, his new friend Clemont showed more interest in the artificial pokemon, Julian realized that this boy is very into tech and was an inventor at such a young age, so it was natural for him to get excited about a pokemon that ispletely made of 0s and 1s. It was about to get dark and Sycamore asked Julian, Ash, and his friends to stay behind and rest for the night, Julian refused and he had a ce to stay, he bid farewell to Professor Sycamore, Ash, and his new friends and took Porygon with him. This was going to be quite a task for Julian but he had some ideas about how to tackle this situation, this Porygon is not the real Porygon, this one is just the prototype, it is actually Porygon Zero. From the looks of it, this Porygon has been programmed to have basic functions, though it is made of 0s and 1s, it can still use pokemon moves of different typing, Julian wondered how this was really possible, he wondered how smart the creator of this pokemon really was? Dr. Akihabara, the people in the scientificmunity called him an entric and a mad man. Julian ''Well I guess only a mad man can create something like this.'' Julian thought while looking at the Pokeball in his hand, he got out of the pokemonb and headed back to the apartment where his fianc¨¦es are staying, when he entered their room, he was greeted by a fragrant smell of delicious food. Daisy came upfront and greeted him, she was wearing a beautiful dress and on top of that a white apron, he could see some food stains on the apron, he realized that Daisy was cooking. Julian "Where is Chloe?" He asked. Daisy "She is in the kitchen, helping me, you just sit and rx, today you are going to be our scapegoat and taste our cooking" She said and giggled before heading back to the kitchen, Julian smiled and entered the room, he looked at the kitchen and saw both Chloe and Daisy cooking with a smile on their faces, Julian felt great seeing this. He wondered once they all settle down, this will be a regr view and he didn''t hate the idea at all but it was too early for either of them to settle down. He washed up and sat in front of the tv and watched the current affairs that is happening in Kalos, he learned many things about Kalos as he watched the TV, he also learned that Mega Evolutions are back in action. Even though people had stopped Mega Evolving their pokemon because they were uncontroble before, now things seem to have changed as the information about how to take care of your pokemon properly and when will it be able to perfectly Mega Evolve was all over the inte. People to read and follow the instruction but the process was not easy either, it could only be achieved by hard work, dedication, and a lot of time, for a perfect Mega Evolutions, the pokemon has to be an advanced level pokemon, the bond between the trainer and the pokemon needs to be very strong so that the Pokemon doesn''t get overwhelmed by the power entering their body. This made Julian a little happy because Mega Evolutions could raise up the stakes in the league and he could feel that the Kalos league will be as big as Unova or maybe even bigger. Chapter 979 - Finding The Particular One Julian continued to understand the current affair while also thinking about his current situation as well, with his very first pokemon in Kalos being a Porygon was something he wasn''t expecting. He needs to figure out how to train it and make use of it on a battlefield, his Porygon right now has only one move and that is Tackle, he needed to find a way to train Porygon new moves and he has a few ideas. ?? Since the pokemon is a bunch of data, he can maybe use his system to do some stuff for him. As he was thinking about these things, both Chloe and Daisy entered the room with hot utensils in their hand, they ced the pots on top of the table in front of Julian along with some tes and sat beside Julian. Theyughed and eat together enjoying each other''spany during these few hours they didn''t care about anything in the world, any single person would be burning with jealousy while seeing these three act so lovey-dovey with each other. Julian spent the whole night enjoying his time with the girls he loved and forgot about Porygon and other stuff. _________________ The next day Julian woke up and found both Chloe and Daisy hugging him tightly as they slept peacefully, he didn''t want to disturb them and just stayed still till both of them were finally awake, he kissed them on the lips and greeted them with a good morning. Once they were up, Chloe and Daisy took Julian around the city and gave him a nice tour, he spent a few days before finally deciding it was time to head out on his journey. Sitting inside his room, he looked at his phone as he was deciding where to go, the Lumiose gym cannot be challenged right now because the gym doesn''t expect challenges from trainers unless they have at least four gym badges with them. Julian didn''t think much about it and looked at the Kalos map and finally decided on which city to visit next, his destination is Santalune city, home to the bug-type gym leader Vi. Like every region, this gym seems to be the idle gym for trainers to begin their journey, since Julian doesn''t have any pokemons that could battle with him right now, this was the perfect gym for him to challenge, and on his way, he wanted to catch some pokemons as well. Chloe "Have you decided where you want to go?" Chloe asked as she was sitting next to him. Julian "Santalune city, it looks like a nice ce and I cane back to Lumiose city when I am done there" He said and smiled at her, Chloe just smiled and nodded as well, Daisy walked into the room with some coffee and breakfast and handed it over to Julian> Daisy "Santalune city huh? It''s such a beautiful city, you will love it!" She said with an excited voice. The three of them then exchanged a few words before Julian finally left. _____________________ Julian headed towards the southeast gate of the city which will lead to route 4 which connects Santalune city and Lumiose city, what Julian was most excited about was not actually the destination but the journey. Route 4 is actually known as a massive garden, the whole route is covered with beautiful flowers and people enjoy walking through the streets instead of riding motor vehicles. He got on his bike and rode out of Lumiose city and entered route 4, as he entered route 4 he could already see that the greenery had covered everything, he could see colorful flowers on bushes, these bushes could be seen on both side of the route. He saw people sitting inside these garden on a sheet of cloth and enjoying their time with their family and friends, he also saw people riding cycles, or rollerding but none of them used a motor vehicle, he also decided to put away his bike and walk and enjoy the scenery as well. He looked around the garden and found a lot of pokemon flying around, some bugs, some psychic and some were fairies. He saw a few pokemons that he has never seen before, the one that caught his attention was a very small pokemon that was floating across the garden on a flower, he looked at his phone to find more information about this pokemon. He soon learned that this pokemon is called a b¨¦b¨¦, and it was quite a promising species of pokemon, it already has a very good special attack while being so small and its final evolutions seem to be quite a powerhouse as well. There was no way Julian was going to let go of such a good pokemon, he decided that he needs to catch one of these, but he wanted a b¨¦b¨¦ with a while flower because it seems to be the rarest one of the bunch, b¨¦b¨¦s can be found with five different types of flower colors, red, blue, orange, white, and yellow and the ones with white flower seems to be the rarest of them all. There was no difference between b¨¦b¨¦ with different color flowers, Julian just wanted the rare one of the bunch, that is all, but he also needs to find one that has massive potential as well. The one in front of him right now has a red flower and its potential was quite average, Julian yed with the little pokemon for a while before leaving the little fellow to continue floating around. He walked through route 4 and encountered more b¨¦b¨¦s but none were up to his standards, he also found one with a white flower but it had an average potential so he let it go. Julian couldn''t find the b¨¦b¨¦ he was looking for on his first day, he soon found himself a small hotel to rest for the day, he decided to continue his search for the pokemon tomorrow. Chapter 980 - Catching The Pokemon Julian continued on his way towards Santalune city and also on his quest to find a b¨¦b¨¦ with a white flower, just as he read on the inte, it was really hard to find a b¨¦b¨¦ with a white flower, he only found two on his second day of searching for them but both of them were quite a disappointment. Julian wondered if he should just catch one with other colors? he had found some b¨¦b¨¦s with great potential but they didn''t have a white flower. ?? But having a rare type of pokemon was like a little obsession of his, he decided to give it another day before he changes his mind and just finds a b¨¦b¨¦ with great potential for his team. On the third day, he did the same and spent half of the day searching for the b¨¦b¨¦ he was looking for and just as he was about to give up, he finally found one. A b¨¦b¨¦ holding onto a white flower was floating around a bush cheerfully, Julian looked around and saw some people sitting around and having a fun time, it looks like these b¨¦b¨¦s don''t fear human so Julian should have no problem approaching the little one. He calmed his breathing and putting on a friendly appearance, approached the little fellow that is flower-hopping from one bush to another. b¨¦b¨¦, of course, noticed a human approaching it so it turned around and looked at the tall human in front of it, it felt a present aura around the human, since it didn''t feel anything dangerous from the human, it decided to approach him. Julian was surprised as the little fellow approached him on its own, he thought that he would have to get its attention by giving it some sweet nectar. He learned that b¨¦b¨¦s love sweet nectar from flowers, they spend most of the time collecting them and drinking them. Julian got on his knees and met the b¨¦b¨¦ at his eye level with a smile on his face, the b¨¦b¨¦ smiled back and it was quite cute in Julian''s eyes, its head bigpared to its body, big ears, round eyes, and a cute little proboscis-like mouth, it held onto the bud of its flower with its tiny arms. This little fellow was quite a cutie. Julian ''No wonder, b¨¦b¨¦s are so famous among little children.'' Julian thought as he looked at the little fellow, b¨¦b¨¦ approached him and got right next to his face as it feltfortable around Julian. Julian took a good look at the little b¨¦b¨¦ and noticed that this one is a female, he smiled and took out some sweet syrup he made from some barriers for his pokemon as they love it, he gave some of it to b¨¦b¨¦. b¨¦b¨¦''s proboscis twitched as she smelled the sweet fragrance of the syrup in Julian''s hand, without even waiting for a second, b¨¦b¨¦ got closer to his palm and extended her proboscis and started to suck the syrup with a big smile on her face. Julian could tell that b¨¦b¨¦ loved the syrup and he was happy as well, it didn''t even take a minute and b¨¦b¨¦ finished it all and looked at Julian with its cute round eyes asking for more. Julian "How about youe with me, I have a lot of it with me" Julian said with a smile and he suddenly realized that it sounded really weird, he realized that if he had said the same words to a little kid, he would be sent to jail. Julian decided to ignore his thoughts and looked if b¨¦b¨¦ would agree to him, to his surprise b¨¦b¨¦ didn''t even think for a second before nodding her head, looks like she liked the sweet syrup a lot more than he expected. Well, there was nothing toin about, so Julian took out a Pokeball and caught his very first pokemon in Kalos. Since Porygon was given to him, b¨¦b¨¦ is the very first pokemon that he caught in Kalos. He was quite happy with his catch, this b¨¦b¨¦ has a lot of potentials and its cuteness was par with Crystal, he then wondered when Crystal will wake up from its slumber, he knows for a fact that the two little fellows will get along very well. With two pokemon in his team, Julian decided to begin training them but before that Julian needs to learn more about Porygon. As the day was about toe to an end, he found himself a hotel and rented a room for the night, when he got into the room, he took out his two new pokemons. b¨¦b¨¦ and Porygon, b¨¦b¨¦ came out of the Pokeball and looked around the new atmosphere, since its already night time, Julian took out some sweet syrup and put it on a te before giving it to b¨¦b¨¦, b¨¦b¨¦ didn''t wait around and just dove towards the te and started to suck the sweet syrup. Julian just smiled and put his focus on his Porygon who is just sitting there staring at Julian with its lifeless eyes, waiting for amand as it is just aputer code at the end of the day. Chapter 981 - Porygon Zero-Upgraded Julian looked at Porygon and got his system to work. Julian "System, analyze Porygon, see if it can be improved further" ?? Julian ordered. The system soon started to work, it scanned Porygon and started to look into its code and find if there is anything wrong with it, it only took the system an hour to decipher the entire code of Porygon, with this code Julian could make his own Porygon. Julian ''What do you think?'' Julian asked. System [There are many changes that could be made to make Porygon Zero more functional and perform better] Julian ''How long will it take for you to modify the code?'' Julian asked. System [2 hours, 47 minutes, 33 seconds] The system answered. Julian didn''t expect the system will be able to modify the code so fast but he remembered that the system inside him is more powerful than anything in this world, on top of that Porygon''s code, was written more than 20 years ago. The system got to work while Julian decided to entertain himself by watching some tv, he watched some movie that was being broadcasted right now, after that was done, he watched some news, since this iste-night news most of them weremercials or gossips. He also heard his name being thrown around but he didn''t stop at a particr channel to watch what was being talked about, he was soon distracted by the sound that rang inside his head. The time the system had presented was up and the modified code was ready. Julian couldn''t help but update his Porygon as soon as possible. He sends Porygon back to its Pokeball and connected it to hisputer, he could monitor Porygon through hisputer, he is able to see its data, he even had a stat chart which disyed his Porygon''s strength and weakness and it was quite urate, simr to his system''s readings. His Porygon seems to be a better special attacker but not by much, its stats were well rounded, the only thing that Porygon wascking was speed. Seeing the stat Julian wondered why Porygon had such a different stat, if the pokemon is fully made of codes, why didn''t Dr. Akihabara didn''t program it to bepletely all-rounded with equal stats all over the board. Once he looked around, he let the system take over the operation, the system then sent the modded code into Julian''sputer and started to upload it to the Porygon inside the Pokeball. Julian just watched the process as Porygon was being updated. As the process was about toplete, the system suddenly asked him a question. System [How would you want to calibrate the stats?] Julian "borate" System [With the data being modified, Porygon has gained 60 extra points that can be applied to any stats, does the user want to distribute these points evenly across all stats or a certain amount to a certain stat?] Julian ''Can the stats be modified after being allocated?'' System [Yes, they can be] The system replied. This was huge news to Julian, if this was true he can modify his Porygon''s stat to his liking depending on his future battle, with some thought Julian decided to allocate the points to stats to his liking. Since Porygon''s ability is Analytic, its power can increase if its movest by analyzing its opponent first, the thing is the system to change its current stats as well. He told the system to increase Porygon''s attack stat and make it equal to its special attack, he then told the system to reduce Porygon''s speed and then allocate the remaining stat to both the defenses. The changes made Porygon a lot more power but a lot slower as well but it was all part of Julian''s n for his gym battle that he will have in Santalune City. The system did as he asked and finallypleted uploading the final bit of code into Porygon, once it was done, Julian called out Porygon and looked at it, there seems to be no change in its shape or size but there was indeed something different about Porygon. It didn''t seem lifeless like before, it still felt like an artificial object but there was something different about it. Julian ''Show me its stats'' System [Affirmative] __________________ Porygon Zero-Upgraded (Default stat) HP - 50 Attack - 50 Defense - 50 Sp. Attack - 50 Sp. Defense - 50 Speed - 50 Ability - Analytic Moves - Tackle ___________________ Porygon Zero-Upgraded (current stat) HP - 50 Attack - 55 Defense - 60 Sp. Attack - 55 Sp. Defense - 60 Speed - 20 Ability - Analytic Moves - Tackle ___________________ Julian was happy with the current stat distribution, it is better to have a better defense at the start as it will be able to take more hits and with its ability, the attacks will be much more lethal. Now his only concern is how to teach it new moves. Chapter 982 - Training Begins Now that his Porygon has been perfected by his system, his only task is to teach Porygon some new moves, right now Porygon has been programmed as a tank, it has a great defense and with his ability, he can deliver some powerful hits on opponents. Julian decided to start training for both his pokemon from tomorrow and went to sleep. ?? ________________ The next morning, Julian woke up and checked out of the hotel, and continued his way towards Santalune city, he increased his phase a little as he had spent too much time walking on his foot on this route. He got on his superbike and rode towards Santalune city, on his way he did find a ce to camp outside and start his training. He found a m river alongside the route and decided to camp down here for the night, Darmanitan and Gengar helped him set up the camp while his other pokemon just sat by and watched, Kyurem continued to train as per Julian''s instruction, while Infernape just sat next to Julian with his eyes closed. It was time for Julian to introduce the two new pokemon to them, he took out the two pokeballs and released his two new pokemons, b¨¦b¨¦ and Porygon, seeing the two new pokemon, his other pokemons got curious. Only Kyurem didn''t show any interest as it is still very cold to strangers, even if they are Julian''s new pokemon, b¨¦b¨¦ looked around and was surprised by seeing the current atmosphere, she saw many different pokemons around her. She had seen Porygon before but seeing it didn''t do anything other than just more around randomly, she lost interest, instead, she floated towards Infernape who had his eyes closed, seeing the little fellow approaching him, he opened his eyes and looked at her. b¨¦b¨¦ felt close to Infernape as he had the same sent as Julian, she thought that Infernape would also give her some sweet syrup but to her disappointment, Infernape shut his eyes again and didn''t bother interacting with her for now. b¨¦b¨¦ got upset and approached Julian andtched onto him sadly, Julian just smiled and told Darmanitan to look after her. Darmanitan being the most cheerful one was easily able to befriend the little b¨¦b¨¦, Gengar also stayed friendly with the little b¨¦b¨¦ because he didn''t want to experience the horror of calming down a crying baby. Julian let b¨¦b¨¦ socialize for a while before finally calling her back. Julian "Let''s start training then, if you do good, you will get a lot of sweet syrup" Julian told her and encouraged her to start training, hearing sweet syrup was involved, b¨¦b¨¦ got excited and twirled in the air like a bale dancer. Porygon on the other hand had no expression, its eyes are as lifeless as before, it was just there to takemands. Julian started his training, he started to b¨¦b¨¦, since she is a special attacker, Julian focused on teaching her how to control her energy first, his b¨¦b¨¦ has great special defense and special attack, her main strength is her special defense so he had nothing to worry about in that matter. For now, he needs to teach her some offensive moves, with her ability to float, she should be able to dodge most of the physical attacks that will beunched towards her, while the special attacks will be neutralized by her very high defense, right now see needs powerful moves. She already knows the moves, Tackle and Vine Whip but there was useless for a pokemon like b¨¦b¨¦ who is a special attacker. When she levels up a little, she will automatically learn Fairy Wind but that will take some time. Julian thought for a while and decided to teach her Energy Ball, thought a very powerful grass type move, Julian could easily teach it to b¨¦b¨¦ because he has thought it to so many of his pokemons. Once b¨¦b¨¦ was done with understanding how to control her energy, Julian started teaching her how to use Energy Ball, even though she is still new to controlling energy, learning a new move will not be a problem. She can gradually increase her proficiency as she grows stronger, with that, her moves will also have more effect as she grows stronger. With the basics down, Julian left b¨¦b¨¦ under Gengar''s watch and put his focus on Porygon who is just moving around the ground, studying the environment. Even though it doesn''t have emotions or feelings, it never stops analyzing, it is always analyzing its surroundings due to its ability, Porygon will analyze its surroundings and create a digital map of it inside its brain and process it. With this digital data inside its brain, it then uses it depending on the circumstances. As it noticed Julian approaching it, it stopped analyzing and turned towards Julian and stared at him with its lifeless eyes, inside its brain where the data is stored, Julian is its owner and it needs to do everything that Julian says. Julian "Now, how do I begin?" Julian said while looking at Porygon. Chapter 983 - Ready For The First Challenge After thinking about it for a while Julian decided to teach it Thunderbolt and Iron Tail, for now, Julian started to exin to Porygon how things work and he was surprised to see how good Porygon was at learning. It didn''t take it too long for Porygon to actually understand how to manipte energy, it analyzed Julian''s words and started to process them into understanding how a move works. ?? Julian then started to teach it Thunderbolt and then Iron Tail. Even though it took some time, Porygon still got the hang of it and understood the concept, it tried to execute the two moves but it was not sessful, well if it had been Julian would be shocked. Even Infernape couldn''t learn things by just listening to Julian. He just watched as b¨¦b¨¦ and Porygon train all night till it was time for dinner, Porygon didn''t need any food so it could go on for quite long, but it can run out of energy after abusing its power source, once it stays still its power source will recharge automatically. Once Porygon ran out of energy it went still, Julian sent Porygon back to its Pokeball so it can recharge on its own, he just watched his other pokemons finish their food. b¨¦b¨¦ seems to be a glutton who finished a whole bowl of sweet syrup that Julian prepared for her, well it was not a bad thing since she worked very hard, it was her first day of training and she did great, this was just her reward. Once everything was done, he sent them back to their Pokeball and went to sleep, the next morning, he woke up and continued down the route towards Santalune city. It took him one more day to reach there, he also spent a lot of time training them, and both of them progressed a lot, b¨¦b¨¦ was able to learn Energy Ball, it''s still not as strong as it could be but it''s enough for the uing battle, a powerful move like Energy Ball is a great addition to b¨¦b¨¦ arsenal for now. ___________________ Julian finally arrived in Santalune City, and just as he expected the city is beautiful, he saw people and pokemon everywhere, the city had flowers blooming in the middle of the streets, it looks like the city focused a lot on making this city look beautiful. He even saw some will pokemons floating around in between humans, this was very special because wild pokemons don''t like to live in midst of human beings. There are of course the ones that live in the city but these pokemons prefer to stay in the swears and avoid human contact as well. He found himself a hotel and rented a room for the day, once he found a room, he looked into the current gym leader of the Santalune gym. Santalune gym being a bug type won''t be a hard gym to take down, with bug-type pokemons having very low defense, his Porygon, and b¨¦b¨¦ should be able to take them down easily but it is still better for Julian to look into them. He looked into them and found a few things about the gym leader and her pokemon, he found out her name is Vi and she usually uses two pokemon when facing her challengers. Since most of the trainers challenge her gym as their first, the pokemons she uses are beginner level as well. Her two pokemons are Surskit and Vivillon, Julian looked at these two pokemons and realized that things might be a little different than he thought, he forgot about a specialty about bug-type pokemons, they can reach their final evolution very fast. Julian is not worried about her Surskit but her Vivillon is a pokemon in its final form, it will be faster and have better attacks that could deal a lot of damage to pokemons at a beginner level. With that in mind, Julian started to figure out how to deal with the Santalune gym''s gym leader. He spent a day inside his hotel room figuring out a strategy, he then spent the next day training and perfecting his battle technique with his pokemons, after two days he finally decided to challenge Vi for his first gym challenge. _________________ On his way towards the gym, he saw someone familiar, it was Ash and his friends who seem to be training, he saw another familiar face and its the reporter he saw in Kanto, Alexa. She seems to be helping Ash train, Julian decided to stop and greet Ash and see what''s going on, Ash and his friend soon noticed someoneing towards them, even Alexa''s Noivern stopped helping Ash''s pokemon and turned around to look at him. Julian "Ash? You seem to be training hard" Julian said as he looked at Ash. Ash "Julian?" He asked. Julian removed his mask and smiled at him. Ash "It really is you!" Ash replied and smiled back, Julian looked and saw Ash''s new Pokemon, Fletchling, he looked at it and realized that this one is quite good, Ash caught a great pokemon for himself. Alexa also noticed Julian and approached him with an excited expression on her face. Alexa "Mr. Julian, what are you doing here?" She asked. Julian "I was just going to challenge the Santalune gym but I saw Ash so I decided to stop by and see what is happening" Julian said. Alexa "Oh, that is great, Ash why don''t we go and watch Mr. Julian battle my sister!" She said excitedly. Julian "So the gym leader is your sister?" Julian asked. Alexa "Yes, we are very close" She replied. Chapter 984 - Kaloss First Gym Julian was surprised as he figured out that the gym leader of Santalune gym. Julian "Did you already challenge the gym?" ?? Julian asked Ash. Ash "Yes, I did but I lost" He said embarrassed. Julian "I see" He was not disappointed by Ash''s loss, it wasmon for trainers to lose their very first battle with their new pokemon as they need to build a very strong rtionship and have bettermunication during their battle. Julian "You used your Fletchling?" Ash "Yes, too bad I couldn''t do anything, I lost pretty badly" Ash said. It seemed like he had a one on one battle and he lost. Julian is not worried about Ash building his rtionship with his pokemons as he is the best at it. Julian "It doesn''t matter, a loss is just another step you take to be stronger" Julian said andforted Ash, Ash seems to have cheered up, for now, Julian noticed that he made another new friend, a girl with honey-brown hair, she is wearing a pink cap and red dress. The girl is looking at him with her big blue eyes, she couldn''t hide her excitement at all, it was very clear that she is a fan. Julian just smiled at her and decided to head towards the gym, Ash and his friends followed Julian to the gym as they wanted to see him battle. Julian and the rest arrived at the gym, Julian didn''t even have to enter when he saw a woman with blond hair clicking pictures through her camera. She turned around and noticed Julian walking towards her, she didn''t even ask for his permission and clicked a photo of him, she didn''t know it was Julian as his face was covered but she felt that there was something special about this man in the mask. She then noticed her sister with Ash and his friends right behind the young man, she got curious and wondered who this person is. She approached him with curiousness all over her face. Vi "Alexa, what are you doing here?" She asked and then nced at Ash and his friends as well "You guys too?" Alexa "We are here to see you battle" She said with a smile on her face. Vi "Ash wants a rematch so soon?" She asked. Alexa "Not Ash, it''s him" She said and pointed at Julian. Julian finally removed his mask and smiled at her, Vi was stunned for a second as she saw his face, she didn''t expect this at all, Julian is right in front of her eyes, she soon snapped out of her frozen state and finally took a deep breath before collecting her thoughts and finally talked to him. Vi "Oh my Arceus, I can''t believe I am seeing you right now, pleasee in!" She said excitedly and guided Julian inside the gym, the rest of them soon followed as they headed towards the battlefield. Julian stood on his side of the battlefield and on the opposite end is Vi who seems to be a little nervous right now. Ash and his friends are sitting in the audience area and are tensed up as they wait for the battle to start. Julian looked at Vi and noticed that she was determined to give her all, this was what Julian liked about Gym leaders, even though they might be his fans, they have their priorities straight, she will full fill her duty as a gym leader. Julian "I hope you give it your all" Julian said. Vi "You don''t have to worry, I won''t be an easy opponent to take down" She said and waited for the referee to step in and start exining the rules of this battle. Referee "This will be a two vs two pokemon battle between gym leader Vi and challenger Julian, during the battle only the challenger is allowed to switch pokemon, the person with no pokemon at the end of the battle loses" The referee exined the rules and looked at both trainers and asked them to select their first pokemon. Vi went first and sent out her Surskit, Julian didn''t wait around and sent his first pokemon as well, his choice, b¨¦b¨¦. Julian''s b¨¦b¨¦ looked around and noticed another pokemon in front of her, she realized that she is in a battle right now, Julian told her about this and she knew that if she does as Julian says, she will be treated with a lot of sweet syrup, she liked it very much and she will do anything for it. Referee "Since both trainers are ready, let the battle being" The referee waved his g and started the battle. Vi didn''t wait around and quickly set up the battlefield to her advantage, ck clouds covered the top of the gym as the rain started to pour down. As Surskit has the ability Swift Swim, its speed has doubled right now, Vi knows that b¨¦b¨¦ is a special attacker and she needs her pokemons to be fast to dodge those attacks. Chapter 985 - Viola Vs Julian (1) Vi is very focused, she has already set up a Rain Dance so that her Surskit can have an advantage over Julian''s pokemon. Julian could have stopped it by attacking before she had a chance to set it up but he didn''t, he wanted to see Vi give her best against him ?? With Rain Dance in action, it increased Surskit speed, Vi didn''t waste any time and went for the attack this time. Vi "Use Bubble Beam" Vimanded. Surskit shot a lot of energy bubbles at b¨¦b¨¦ who seems to be actually enjoying the rain. Julian "b¨¦b¨¦, use Fairy Wind" b¨¦b¨¦ had leveled up and learned Fairy Wind on her own which delighted Julian, b¨¦b¨¦ used Fairy Wind and blocked the bubbles. The wind hit the bubbles and stopped them in their tracks, some popped on contact while others were sent back in Surskit''s direction, seeing its attack being sent back towards it, Surskit used its superior speed and dodged those bubbles. Julian "Use Fairy Wing again" b¨¦b¨¦ sted a power shining wind at Surskit. Since the attack was quite wide, Surskit had to use all its speed and dodge the wind, the win hit the ground and blew away the water that is being collected on the ground. Vi "Use Ice Beam" Surskit while still on the move sted an Ice Beam at b¨¦b¨¦, seeing the iing attack Julian soon came up with a counter. Julian "Use Fairy Wind" Julian counted again with another Fairy Wind, for now, his b¨¦b¨¦ doesn''t have any defense moves right now so Julian can only rely on counterattacks. Since b¨¦b¨¦ has a stronger special attack, the Fairy Wind from her shed with the Ice Beam and caused it to split, ice shards flew everywhere but none of them hit b¨¦b¨¦. Vi didn''t expect this, she realized she needs to get closer, long-distance attacks like these won''t do much, both pokemons will just be wasting their energy. Julian also knew this and decided to get closer. Julian "Move forward" b¨¦b¨¦ floated towards Surskit to reduce the distance between them, if Vi decides to back off she will be wasting both her pokemon''s time and energy. Vi knew that this could be dangerous but decided to take b¨¦b¨¦ head on but she decided to attack. Vi "Use Bug Bite" As b¨¦b¨¦ made her way towards Surskit, it used its speed and charged straight at b¨¦b¨¦ but it didn''t attack her head-on, it got right behind her and jumped at her while using Bug Bite. Julian "Now, Energy Ball" While b¨¦b¨¦ cannot move around fast, she can turn fast, she faced Surskit and charged up an Energy Ball and ced it right in front of her, Surskit was taken by surprise and crashed straight into the Energy Ball. The Energy Ball exploded and sent Surskit flying through the air, it then crashed on the ground and got knocked out, the Energy Ball was not able to finish it off but the fall did. b¨¦b¨¦ was also sent flying backward but due to her high special defense she was able to withstand the st and came out with some damage. The referee looked at Surskit and dered the results. Referee "Surskit is unable to battle, b¨¦b¨¦ wins" The referee called. Vi was surprised by the oue, she didn''t expect Julian would counter like this, why would anyone take such a risky decision, people would either block or dodge as the other pokemon is already very close to them. If a pokemon is a special attacker they would never use a special attack when their opponent is so close up their face, it is a suicidal move. Julian only took this risk because he knew b¨¦b¨¦ will be able to take the st while Surskit won''t. Ash and his friends also watched this with interest, Ash expected Julian to win and he was not surprised by Julian''s method but it did help him understand how Vi battles a little. Julian looked at his b¨¦b¨¦ and smiled, he then sent her back to her Pokeball to rest for the day. Vi sent her Surskit back to its Pokeball and sent out her next pokemon, her ace, Vivillon. Her Vivillon came out of its Pokeball and spread its wings scattering the dust that is on its wings which sparkled under the light, the Rain Dance has already ended and the lighting through the roof is being reflected from the water on the ground. Julian didn''t wait and sent out his next pokemon as well, Porygon. His Porygon entered the battlefield and already started to analyze it, it analyzed the air, the ground, even the little stones and pebbles that were around the battlefield. Soon it had aplete understanding of the battlefield, it even knew when it stopped raining by analyzing the water on the ground. It then looked at the Vivillon and started to analyze it as well, it estimated its height, weight, wingspan, it looked through its data and figured out what typing it is and what possible moves it can use. Just within a few seconds Porygon is able to figure out its opponent, because of its ability Analytic, now Porygon will be able to deal more damage to its opponent. Chapter 986 - Viola Vs Julian (2) Vi is surprised to see the weird pokemon in Julian''s possession, she had never seen such a pokemon in her life, she wondered if it is a new species of pokemon. The knowledge about Porygon is not known to many people so it''s not a surprise if Vi doesn''t know about it. ?? Even her sister, Alexa was surprised seeing Porygon as well, she has never seen such a weird pokemon before, she wanted to know what this pokemon was, lucky for her, Ash was sitting right beside her and he told her about Porygon a little. Listening to Ash, Alexa was fascinated, she wanted to learn more so she decided to ask Julianter about it. __________________ Julian and his Porygon waited for Vi to make her move, because of Porygon''s ability it is best for it to movest, no matter what situation it is. Vi is very cautious right now, she doesn''t know anything about the pokemon that is standing against her pokemon on the battlefield, she has to be careful and find out its typing before she goes for the heavy hits. Seeing that Julian has no intention of attacking first, Vi made her move Vi "Vivillon, use Sleep Powder" Vi decided to put her opponent''s pokemon to sleep before figuring out how to tackle it, her Vivillon spread its wings wide and scattered sparkling dust all over the battlefield, the sparkling dust fell on Porygon. Vi waited for the Sleep Powder to take effect but to her surprise, the Porygon didn''t seem to be fazed at all, she didn''t know how it was possible, she wondered if this pokemon had the ability like Vital Spirit which prevents a Pokemon from falling asleep. But she is wrong, the reason why Sleep Powder didn''t work is that Porygon never sleeps, it is made up of codes, it''s just aputer that is sentient, it doesn''t need sleep and it never will, moves that cause confusion, sleep, paralysis won''t work on Porygon because of how it has been made. But the real reason Porygon has be such a formidable pokemon is because of the system, it altered Porygon''s code and made it perfect, it went from the prototype Porygon Zero to Perfect Porygon. Even the original Porygon pales inparison to Julian''s Porygon. Seeing that the Sleep Powder has no effect on Porygon, Vi didn''t stop and went for another attack. Vi "Use Gust" Vivillon pped its wings hard and sent powerful gust at Porygon but Porygon stood its ground and analyzed the wind rushing towards it. Julian "Use Thunderbolt" Porygon used Thunderbolt and shot it right through the iing Gust, the Thunderbolt crackled and shot towards Vivillon, if this hits, it will cause a lot of damage. Vi knew the iing danger and told Vivillon to dodge the attack, Vivillon moved to the side and dodged the Thunderbolt by an inch, but it still felt heat left behind by the Thunderbolt as it passed by it. Julian "Again" Porygon followed Julian''smand and shot another Thunderbolt at Vivillon which it was able to dodge again but once again, just by an inch. Vi could tell that the Thunderbolt was pretty strong for a pokemon of Porygon''s level, she believed it to be an electric type as she had no other exnation, electric type pokemons do deal more damage with electric type moves, the same could be said for pokemons of different types using their respective type of moves to deal more damage. Vi "Use Psychic" Vi ordered. Her Vivillon sent a psychic st at Porygon with all its strength, once again Porygon analyzed the move under a second and was already able to find the weak spots in them. Julian "Thunderbolt" Porygon aimed its Thunderbolt straight at the Psychic''s weakness, its Thunderbolt tore through the Psychic and headed towards Vivillon, seeing the fast iing lightning, Vi knew there is no time to dodge. Vi "Use Light Screen" Vivillon quickly set up a Light Screen in front of it, Light Screen is able to decrease the damage of a special attack by 50% for a few minutes, Vi made a good decision by doing so, she knew the danger of getting hit by those Thunderbolts and she didn''t want to take the risk. The Thunderbolt passed through the Light Screen and its power was decreased by 50%, it did hit Vivillon and zapped it, Vivillon let out a cry as its body felt numb but it came out of it with a few burnt marks over its body. Vi looked at her Vivillon''s condition and knew that with Light Screen activated, her Vivillon could take at least four of those Thunderbolts before getting knocked out. She knew she had to be careful and not get hit by those Thunderbolts, she advised her Vivillon to keep its distance from Porygon and move around the battlefield so that it cannot lock onto Vivillon. Vivillon did as Vi said and started to fly around, Porygon made sure to not let go of Vivillon and locked onto it with its eyes. Vi was observing Porygon''s movements and noticed something, Porygon was very slow, she could easily out-speed Porygon and get closer andnd some critical hits. Vi "Vivillon, fly faster and then use Ariel Ace" Vivillon did as Vi said and started to fly fast, as it moves around the sky, Porygon was having a hard time spinning around and locking onto its target, soon Vivillon was able to lose Porygon and got right behind it. It then used Ariel Ace and dove towards Porygon with full power. Julian looked at Vi''s move and smiled, he realized that it was time to end this battle. Chapter 987 - Viola Vs Julian (3) Julian decided to put an end to this battle. Though Porygon is not facing Vivillon right now, it still has a wide-area move, though not an attack-type move, it will still be useful. ?? As Vivillon disappeared in the air and arrived right next to Porygon ready to crash into it, Julian made his move. Julian "Use Thunder Wave" Porygon released a discharge of electric pulse around it, the electric pulse hit Vivillon but it didn''t stop it fromnding the Ariel Ace onto Porygon. Porygon was sent sliding through the wet ground and finally stopped, due to how Julian had allocated its stats, Porygon''s defense was high enough to tank that hit and now Porygon''s opponent is helpless, it was able to deal damage but because of this, now itys paralyzed on the ground. Due to the water on the ground, the electric pulse around its body seems to be acting up more than normal. Vivillon tried to move but it couldn''t feel anything but numbness around its whole body. Vi "Vivillon, try to move, quick" Vi knew that her Vivillon is in trouble, if it cannot get out from there, it will be doomed. thankfully the Light Screen is still active. Julian "Use Thunderbolt" Porygon aimed at Vivillon and sted a powerful Thunderbolt at it, the Thunderbolt passed through the light screen and zapped Vivillon, Vivillon felt pain and the water intensified the effect, it was sent rolling on the ground as wet mudtched onto its wings. Julian "Again, Thunderbolt" Julian didn''t give Vivillon a chance and attacked again, the Thunderbolt hit Vivillon and zapped it hard again, Vivillon was about to copse but this time it was able to move and tried to fly up. It pped its wings and took air but its flight is weak and slow as the damage from the Thunderbolt was apparent. Julian "Finish it, Thunderbolt" Porygon sted onest Thunderbolt, the Thunderbolt passed through the Light Screen and hit Vivillon and this time it was over, Vivillon came crashing on the wet ground with a st. The referee looked at Vivillon and called for the result. Referee "Vivillon is unable to battle, hence the winner of this battle is the challenger" With the Referee''s verdict, the battle ended and Julian''s victory was dered, Vi couldn''t believe she lost so easily, she knew that she was not weak against Julian''s pokemon, she realized that Julian just outsmarted her on both asions where she went for an attack, turning her momentum into his advantage and winning the battle. Vi smiled and took out her camera and clicked a picture of Julian and Porygon who doesn''t seem to care about its victory at all, it just stood there like a lifeless machine. Julian sent Porygon back to its Pokeball and looked at Vi who took another picture of him, he didn''t mind it as he realized that Vi seems to be a photo maniac. Vi then approached Julian and handed him the Bug Badge with a smile on her face, she was quite happy as she was able to battle Julian and learn a lot from him, she realized that she needs to work a little on her strategies. Julian took the badge and looked at it, it was shaped like a small bug with two emerald gems on it, Julian put the badge away in his gym case and bid his farewell to Vi, and headed out of the gym. Ash and his friends followed right behind him while Alexa stayed behind to talk to her sister. Outside the gym, Julian was stopped by a very excited Ash and his friends who ran right after him. Ash "That was an awesome battle, I hope I can beat Vi next time" Ash said. Julian "Just do what you have always done, believe in yourself and your pokemon, after all, you are a natural" Julian said with a smile. Ash nodded his head and smiled, after talking to Ash and his friends for a few minutes, he bid his farewell and walked away, Ash promised Julian that this time he will meet Julian in the league and defeat him. Julian just chuckled and walked away waving the back of his hand at them, Alexa who rushed out of the gym was a little disappointed as Julian was already gone, she wanted to talk to Julian about Porygon but hearing Ash telling her that he just left, she was disappointed. She decided to ask him when they meet next time. If they meet next time. ____________________ Julian went back to his hotel room and rested for the day, he treated b¨¦b¨¦ for her hard work while Porygon didn''t need anything, Julian then put his focus on his ns for Kalos, he is nning on which pokemon he wants for his team. Julian opened a map and looked into pokemon hotspots, he wanted to see which pokemons could be found around him right now, he looked into Santalune Forest as it is one of the pokemon hotspots. He looked into the pokemon poption in the forest to figured out which pokemons live there, after looking into the pokemon species that can be found in the forest, he was a little disappointed. Only one pokemon interested him and that is Fletchling, he knows that they evolve into a Talonme which is a very fast fire/flying pokemon with equal power all across its stats, it can be a good addition to his team but Julian decided not to catch one. He decided to catch some other pokemons for his team, he then decided to return to Lumiose city and then head to his next destination. Chapter 988 - Weird Squished Thing It took Julian a week for him to get back to Lumiose City, when he got back both Chloe and Daisy were really happy to see him, unlike before, they didn''t have to wait long to meet him again. Every time they met before, they would be separated for months but now Julian cane to them whenever he wants and they can go to him whenever they want. ?? Julian spent a few days with them and finally decided to leave. __________________ Sitting on the bed, he looked at the map of Kalos on his phone and tried to figure out his next destination, Cyge City, this is his next destination, along the way he ns to catch some new pokemons as well. He looked at the pokemon species that can be found in route 5 and was not impressed by them, the only pokemon that he looked into was the one called a Pancham, though its final form can be a very strong Physical attacker, Julian was not interested in it. He then looked into Route 6 to see if he can find an interesting pokemon species and he found one, he wondered if he will be able to find one as the pokemon he is looking for is very hard to find in the wild. With his future destination nned, Julian bid farewell to Daisy and Chloe by giving them a kiss and saying goodbye for now. He headed towards the southwest gate of Lumiose city and headed towards Camphrier town as the town is connected to two different routes, one is route six where he ns to catch his next pokemon, and the other route connects to Cyge city which is his next destination. Once he was out of the city, he got on his bike and rode towards Camphrier town, after a day of traveling, Julian decided to stop as he entered a bamboo forest. He could already tell that the forest is very lively as all the bug pokemons are out and beginning their day. Some night predators are also up and out for the hunt. Julian found himself a nice open space in the forest and set up a camp with the help of his pokemon, since the sun is already down and the only source of light is from the bright moon in the sky, Julian decided to quickly feed his pokemons and call it an end. As he set up food for his pokemon, the scent of the food attracted the attention of many pokemon in the forest but none of them dared to get close to Julian because of a certain terrifying aura that was upying that there. Julian sat down and drank his coffee directly from his thermos and watched his pokemons eat their dinner but to his surprise, two tiny pokemons suddenly showed up, he looked at the two little pokemons who looked at him curiously with their big ck eyes. These two pokemons are Panchams. Julian ''These two are quite brave, even after sensing Gengar''s presence they decided to show up.'' Julian thoughts. He noticed that the Panchams are looking at the food his pokemons are eating, Julian decided to feed them as he has some extra food, he took out two tes and filled them to the brim, and gave it to the two Panchams. The Panchams didn''t even think twice before digging into the bowl and finished the whole thing within a few minutes, once they were done, they just ran away. Julian was speechless by seeing how shameless the two pokemon were, this caused him tough and continue with the night, once his pokemons were done eating, he sent them back into their Pokeball and went to sleep. With Gengar on the lookout, Julian has nothing to worry about. ___________________ The next morning Julian woke up as he heard rustles outside his tent, since he was about to wake up anyways, the noise woke him up. He opened his eyes and walked outside and looked around but he couldn''t find anything but something suddenly caught his attention. He looked at the tree that is right next to his tent carefully, even though he couldn''t see anything, he could feel something is there on the tree and is trying its best to hide from him. He got closer and carefully looked at the tree and he was finally able to see through its camouge, Julian was surprised as he looked at the weird thing, it looked like a squished-up jelly but with eyes, it also seems to have a hexagon pattern on it. Julian "Is this a pokemon?" Julian asked the system He has never seen or even heard of something like this before, this squished-up thing was still trying its best to maintain its camouge so Julian couldn''t tell its exact color but he could make out its shape. System [It is just a part of a pokemon, an individual cell] The system replied. Hearing the system''s answer, Julian was surprised, this thing is not a pokemon but a single cell. Julian ''Which pokemon is it from?'' Julian asked. System ''I think the host should find out about it himself'' The system answered. Since the day the system had evolved, it had be more sentient and sometimes didn''t answer Julian''s questions if it believed Julian could figure it out himself. Julian ''Fine'' He thought and sighed, he then grabbed the tail-like part of the cell and pulled it off the tree, the cell struggled as it realized that it has been found but it was toote, Julian already caught it. Julian was finally able to see it properly, it is green in color, with weird-shaped eyes. Chapter 989 - Another Organization Julian looked at the weird squishy thing in his hand with interest, the squishy cell stopped struggling and Julian tried to calm it down, he tried to study it but he couldn''t find anything that will help him understand this one better. Julian ''Can I store this one in a Pokeball?'' ?? Julian asked. System ''It is possible'' The system answered. Julian decided to capture this one and take care of it for now as he wanted to learn more about it, he could already tell that this one is powerless, it has no power to defend itself, the only thing it has for itself is its camouge. If Julian can find it with just his sense, other powerful pokemon can also find it and it can be in danger. At least Julian can keep it safe, as Julian was about to send the squishy cell into a new Pokeball, he felt a few peopleing in his direction. He stopped and turned around to look at the group that wasing towards him, he saw a bunch of people men and women wearing orange suits with weirdly styled orange hair. He didn''t know what this group was but from a nce he could tell that these people are from an organization, he has dealt with enough organization in the past to recognize one with just a nce. Julian ''This is the worst uniform from an organization I have ever seen'' Julian thought. The group approached Julian and the person who was in the lead holding a machine looked at Julian. "Hey you, hand over that thing and get out of here" The man warned Julian while his focus was on the green squishy thing in Julian''s hand. Julian looked at the weirdly dressed man and back at the squishy cell in his hand and smiled. Julian "And what if I don''t?" Julian asked. "Do you not understand the current situation? Hand over that thing and get out of here before we break your bones and permanently handicap you for the rest of your life" The man in the front said again with a voice of intimidation and authority. Julian "You guys should at least look a little intimidating before trying to intimidate others, who made that uniform? It looks like shit" Julian said andughed, he couldn''t hold hisughter, the weird hairstyle, the very bright orange suit, this group looked like a bunch of clowns. "How dare you look down on us, we are the members of the great Team re" The man in the front shouted in anger. Julian "So it''s Team re huh?" Julian asked. He has never heard of them before but he is sure that this organization is a big one, just by looking at the gadget in the man''s hand, Julian could tell that it was a very advanced machine, they will never be able to afford such tech without a lot of money. "What? shocked? thinking that you messed up by offending Team re? Too bad, you-" Julian "Shut up, It''s very annoying" Julian stopped the grunt from speaking any further, he hated when these guys start boasting about their organization when they have no strength to back it up. "How dare you cut us o-" Julian "I don''t you to shut up and make your move, It''s getting boring now" Julian said but this time he got serious and stared at the grunts with his cold eyes. "Attack him, break his bones" The grunt leader ordered, with his order, the other grunts released their pokemon andmanded them to attack Julian but as soon as their pokemons came out of their Pokeball, they turned their back on Julian and fled into the forest. Seeing this every team re grunt are shocked, they couldn''t understand why their pokemon ran away. Julian "Gengar, knock everyone out except the man in the front" Gengar suddenly released a psychic st that sent all the grunts flying except the man in the front, those grunts flew back at extreme speed and crashed into the trees, and got the air knocked out of them. They got knocked out on impact, the only person that stood there in shock is the leader of the grunts, his legs trembled as he looked at Julian in fear, he realized that he fucked up, he angered someone who is way stronger than him. Julian "Now, you will answer all my questions. If you don''t I will make sure that you will suffer much more horrible things than just getting knocked out" Julian said and a cold and scary aura spread around the area, the grunt leader felt chills running down his spine, his heart started to beat faster, and fear overwhelmed him, the people in front of him looked like a demon that is about to take his life. Grunt Leader "Please don''t kill me, I will answer everything you ask, please spare me" The grunt leader when on his knees and touched the ground with his head as he begged for mercy, Julian realized that he scared the grunt a little too much, he had not done this for quite a while so Gengar overdid himself with his aura. Julian ''Well its better this way, he won''t dare lie'' Julian thought and approached the grunt. Chapter 990 - The Sleeping Giant The grunt leader was regretting his decision right now, he just hoped that he will be spared by the man in front of him, he watched in fear as the man approached him. Julian looked down on the grunt leader who is trying his best to avoid any eye contact. ?? Julian "Now, tell me, who are you guys and what are you after?" Julian asked. Grunt Leader "We are called Team re, and we are searching for cells from a pokemon, our boss tasked us to do so" The Grunt answered. Julian "Do you know which pokemon this cell belongs to?" Julian asked. Grunt Leader "I don''t know but I suspect it is from a legendary pokemon" The grunt answered. Julian "I see, so who is this boss of yours?" Julian asked. Grunt "I don''t know, I have never seen him, my ranking in the organization is pretty low so I don''t have the position of power to know his identity, that is all I know, I know nothing else, please spare me" The Grunt Leader said. Julian was disappointed hearing this, he thought he will be able to find more about Team re, their boss, and about the pokemon that the cell belongs to but from the looks of it, this grunt doesn''t have much information with him. Julian decided to let the man be alone since he had nothing useful for Julian. Julian "Get lost now" Julian said. The grunt didn''t even waste a second before running away thanking Arceus for sparing his life. Once Team re was out of his sight, Julian looked at the cell in his hand, it seems to have calmed down, and is not struggling anymore, it seems to have calmed down andtched onto his arm. Julian now finally got a chance to carefully look at the cell, he was fascinated by this little thing in his hand, it is just a single cell, not a full pokemon but it acted like it, it has its own consciousness as well, Julian wondered what this thing is capable of ifbined? He finally put the cell inside a Pokeball and decided to continue with his journey, he will have to ask Professor Sycamore about this cell and figure out more about it. He then continued down route 5 and finally arrived in Camphrier town, since this town doesn''t have a pokemon gym, he will just stay here for a day or two before continuing towards his next destination, he also ns to catch a pokemon that can be found along the way. When he got to Camphrier town, he was greeted by loud snoring, he was surprised to hear this because he has experienced snoring like this before, he heard the same kind of snoring but louder from his Snox when he got cold, Julian had to make a massive pot of hot soup to make Snox calm down. He walked on the street of the town and noticed that everyone looked tired, everyone seems to be sleepy, the only ones who still seem to be active are children, though their number is small as well. Julian followed the snoring and finally found the source of it, he saw a massive Snox sleeping right in the middle of the city under a small roof. Julian was surprised by this, he never expected to see a giant sleeping Snox in the middle of the town, this is not amon urrence as Snox tend to favor forest to sleep, not in the middle of the town Julian "Something is wrong here" Julian thought while looking at the sleeping Snox, he decided to look around and find out what is happening, he saw a few people sitting outside their house sitting on their staircase looking helplessly at Snox. He approached the people as he pitied them, he could tell how hard it must have been for these people to sleep, they will fall asleep soon as their bodies will submit to exhaustion and go to sleep but before they do so he needs to speak to them. The people who were sitting on the staircase noticed someone walking towards them, they lifted their head and looked at the young man and tried to figure out who he was, since the town is not that big, they could tell that the young maning towards them is an outsider, a traveler. They see a lot of travelers who go through their town so they were not surprised, they just pitied this young traveler as in their mind, he chose the wrong day to travel through their town, the Snox has been snoring very loudly and they cannot do anything about it. Julian "Excuse me, but what is happening?" Julian asked as he noticed the townspeople are looking at him. Person 1 "It has been like this for two days now, the Snox has been snoring and disturbing the peace of the town and everyone is very tired" One of them said. Julian "I can see that, what is the reason behind this?" Julian asked. Person 2 "Well every once in a few months, this Snoxes to our town and clears out the local roots from our fields, which allows us to nt new crops, so we through a small harvest festival to thank Snox, this arrangement worked out for both sides but this time it looks like Snox won''t wake up" Julian "Why?" Person 1 "Well, every time Snox eats all the roots, ites here to sleep after being full and to wake it up, the lord of the Shabboneau Castle ys his flute, but for some reason, he doesn''t want to attend this harvest festival" He exined. Julian finally understood what is happening, he understands Snox behavior better than anyone as he has been taking care of the biggest one there is, he knows how hard it is to wake up Snox once they are full, his Snox sleeps for months after having a full meal and even he struggles to wake him up with a normal method. He could only imagine to what extent these people have to go to wake up Snox, but he was also intrigued by this flute ying from the lord of the castle, this was the first time he heard something about waking up a Snox through music. Julian wondered why the lord doesn''t want toe to the harvest festival but he was not in the position to question his choice, but he did have a method to calm down the Snox. Even his Snox used to snore and his snores were twice as worse as this one, he once scared the whole jungle with his snores, Julian had to make special candies that helped his Snox breathe easily and softly without making much noise. He took out a bottle of pill and tossed it to one of the people. Julian "Use this, it will calm down Snox''s snoring but you guys should figure out how to wake up Snox careful as it can be very dangerous when it''s cranky and woken up from its slumber" Julian warned. The person who caught the pill bottle was a little skeptical about the pills but he decided to give it a try anyway, what could go wrong, they have already been suffering for two days now. Chapter 991 - Third Pokemon Listening to Julian, the person walked towards the Snox and took out candy, and examined it, he didn''t believe that this small blue-colored candy can stop the Snox from snoring but he wanted to be optimistic and believe that it works. He got on top of Snox and put the candy inside its mouth, Snox didn''t even flinch and swallowed the candy and within just a few seconds, the sound started to fade away which surprised the person on top of the Snox. ?? He looked at Julian and back at the candy in his hand in surprise. Person "How?" He asked. Julian "I also have a Snox" Julian answered with a smile, as the Snox calmed down, the people of the town went to sleep as soon as the Snox calmed down, Julian also found peace of mind once the snores calmed down, one could still hear the snores if they get closer to Snox but it couldn''t be heard once people went inside their house. He went to an inn to rent a room for a few days but he got it for free as he helped the townspeople a lot, they say that sleep is the most precious thing a human can have and it looks like it is true. People will do anything to sleep if one is derived from it. The townspeople also helped him a lot by telling him about the territories around the town and where he can find certain types of pokemons on which part. This helped him a lot as it will severely reduce the time he will have to waste looking around for the pokemon he is searching for. After getting all the help he can get and filling up his ration Julian continued his journey, this time he took a different route, route 6 which leads to Parfum pce, route 6 is the ce where he hopes to catch his next pokemon. He will then have toe back and head down route 7 to head towards Cyge city. On his way towards Parfum pce, Julian didn''t waste his time looking around the forest as the townspeople told him that the pokemon he is looking for can be found near the pce. As he found himself getting closer to the pce he started to notice changes, the road became much better and there also seems to be walls blocking the forest from the path, whoever lives in the pce has given a lot of thought to safety. The townspeople told him that the pokemon he is looking for can be found over the wall so without even thinking for a second, he jumped over the massive wall with ease and arrived on the other end. Unlike the path he just rode through, the other side of the wall is a dense jungle, he started to look around for the pokemon he has been meaning to catch, after seeing the pokemon in action in multiple online videos, Julian really wanted one. He started to look around the dense jungle, he found pokemons but not the one he was looking for, even though after the townspeople''s guidance, finding this pokemon was harder than he thought. He soon found one he was looking for but it was quite average which was quite disappointing, he had to spend the night in the jungle setting up a camp. Julian continued his search the next day and found the pokemon he was looking for three different times but again, their potential was not up to his mark, once again he spent the night in the dense forest, he continued on the third day and he finally found the one he was looking for. Not only did it have very high potential, and it is also a shiny, shiny pokemons are known to have high potential and the one he just found was one of the best he could find. He looked at the floating shiny pokemon in the air and smiled, he was not going to lose this one, he sent out Porygon. Porygon came out of its Pokeball and observed the pokemon in front of it, it looked at the floating pokemon whose body seems to be made of metal, it analyzed the surrounding and its opponent, finding out its typing of Steel/Ghost as well. Within a few seconds, Porygon has everything it needs against its opponent, Honedge. From the day Julian has heard and seen Honedge, he has been wanting to catch and train one, he is especially interested in its final form, Aegish. It can change its attack and defense stats drastically, this allowed its trainer to have so much versatility on a battlefield. Julian "Ok, let''s do this, Porygon get ready, use Thunderbolt" Julianmanded. Porygon charged up and shot a Thunderbolt at Honedge. Chapter 992 - A Great Addition Without wasting any time, Julian made his move. Julian "Porygon, use Thunderbolt" ?? Though it''s not the best choice for Porygon to attack first, Julian had to because the Honedge might not attack and just escape, Julian has to provoke it or force it to attack and not let it escape. Though Honedge isn''t that fast, seeing the iing attack, it just moved to the side and little and turned its body causing the Thunderbolt to just nce beside Honedge, because of its t side it was able to dodge the attack. Julian was surprised by seeing this, he didn''t expect a wild pokemon to do such moves, this proved that this Honedge is more than just a pokemon with great potential, it also has great battle knowledge, this will just help Julian train this pokemon even better. After dodging the Thunderbolt, Honedge unsheathed itself revealing its razor-sharp metal body, it then pointed the tip at Porygon and charged at it. Its de glowed dirty-green as it tried to use Fury Cutter, Porygon just stood there as it analyzed its opponent, as Honedge got closer Julian made his move. Julian "Use Thunderbolt" With Honedge charging right towards Porygon, Julian knows it won''t have time to dodge a close-range special attack. Since Porygon used its ability, the power behind this Thunderbolt grew. He shot the Thunderbolt right at Honedge, Honedge tried to cut through the Thunderbolt with Fury Cutter, it was able to go through it using three swipes but it slowed down and got zapped hard. Honedge has great typing, with having Steel and Ghost as its typing, it is resistant to nine different types, immune to three types, and is weak to four types. The only types it is neutral to are water and electric. After getting zapped Honedge struggled to keep itself up in the air and came crashing down on the ground, its de dug into the ground and its holster followed it as it is connected to the main body through its aura. Seeing his chance, Julian took out a Pokeball and threw it at Honedge to catch it, the Pokeball hit Honedge and engulfed it, the Pokeball hit the floor and started to shake violently, it shook for a few seconds before splitting into two as Honedge but the ball in half from the inside. Julian was surprised, he thought that one Thunderbolt will be enough as Honedge''s special defense is not that high, that should have ended the battle but it didn''t Once the Honedge got out of the Pokeball, it charged at Porygon again and this time it used Ariel Ace, it shot towards Porygon and disappeared midway before appearing right in front of Porygon andnding a powerful swipe on it but Porygon just took it like its nothing. Due to his current defense, he could take a few more of these Ariel Ace, now that Honedge is closer to Porygon, he can attack again, with its ability activated Porygon moved on Julian''smand. Julian "Use Electroweb" Julian had just thought it a new move, it was very easy to teach it because it already knew the fundamentals of how an electric type move works, he just needed to teach it how to use it in a different way. Porygon shot an Electroweb and trapped the Honedge on the ground as the web continued to zap Honedge. Julian "Now finish it, Foul y" Porygon jumped and crashed into Honedge which was still being trapped and electrocuted by the Electroweb, with the use of Foul y it was over as the damage was much more than Porygon could ever deal with using its other moves as Foul y steals the opponents attack stats. Once Honedge got knocked out, Julian threw another Pokeball at it and captured it, this time he didn''t fail as the Pokeball stopped and released a confirmation beep which indicated the capture was sessful. Julian got excited and picked up the Pokeball and looked at it with a big smile on his face, he caught a great pokemon this time, one of the best he has ever captured, he wonders how strong it will be in a few months. He took out Honedge from its Pokeball and gave it some berries to eat and heal, its mouth seems to be part of its scabbard, it ate the barriers and recovered some of its strength. Julian examined the Honedge and noticed that it''s a male, after talking to it for a few minutes Julian finally decided to leave, he had enough supply for two weeks so he decided to continue through route 7 and head directly to Cyge city. With everything in action, Julian didn''t waste any time and continued on his journey, route 7 was quite an experience for him, the route was very beautiful, surrounded by nature, filled with beautiful pokemons. There were many viges on the way and he stopped by them and the one thing he heard inside every vige was about this ce called the Battle Chateau. Julian was quite interested in this as he heard a lot about this Battle Chateau, this Chateau seems to be quite famous amongst the trainers of Kalos, Julian wondered why? People didn''t tell much about it to him, they told him that they should figure it out himself. He decided to check this ce out since it is right on the path to Cyge city. Chapter 993 - Battle Chateau Julian arrived in front of Battle Chateau and he was surprised by how grand it looked, it looked like this ce belonged to some royal family back in the past, the Chateau looked like a pce built for a king, the pce is massive and thend that it is situated on is over half a kilometer in size. He has never seen such a massive pce ever in his life, Kalos is known for its magnificent ancient history so Julian expects to see more of these magnificent structures all around Kalos. ?? Without wasting any more time, he walked towards the Chateau, as he entered through the massive gate and walked towards the main door he was greeted by an old man and ady in a maid outfit "Wee guest, My name is Turner and I am the head of the house and my title is Duke, I hope you enjoy your stay here" The old man said. Julian carefully looked at the old man, the old man is wearing a very expensive suit and wearing a monocle, but what interested Julian was not his expensive clothing but his title of Duke. Julian "A Duke?" Julian questioned. Turner "Yes, my ancestors were part of the royal family, this pce was passed down from them to me, making me a duke but I decided to use the pce in a different way and created the Battle Chateau" Duke Turner exined. Julian "So how do the Battle Chateau work?" Julian asked as he is curious. Turner "Why don''t we go inside, I will exin to you on the way" Turner said and guided Julian into the Chateau, Julian followed Turner and the maid into the Chateau and as soon as they entered, Turner started to speak. Turner "When I was young I was a huge pokemon battle fan but I also loved reading history and about the great warriors and trainers who used to live in the past, I was intrigued by their ways of battling and how they got their titles. I wanted to replicate that so I made this pce the Battle Chateau" Julian "I see, so how does it work?" Turner "Trainers whoe and battle in the Battle Chateau will be given the title of Baron or Baronness when they win their first battle, as the trainers battle more and more, they will keep advancing through the rankings" Julian "What is the highest rank?" Julian asked. Turner "The highest title is of the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess" Julian "And how many Grand Duke and Duchess are there?" Turner "There is only one Grand Duchess, it''s Grand Duchess Diantha" Turner answered. Julian "Oh, it looks like getting the title of the Grand Duke will be hard" Julian said with a smile. Turner "Indeed, the title can only be achieved by defeating every trainer in the Battle Chateau" Julian "So if I want the title, I will have to defeat every trainer along with Grand Duchess Diantha to earn the title of Grand Duke" Turner "Yes, but none of the trainers in the Battle Chateau have been able to do that" Julian "What about the rest, how many other trainers are there in the Battle Chateau?" Turner "Many peoplee to participate in Chateau but many don''t advance through their ranking as they need to win their battles without losing, once they lose their score will be set back to zero" Julian "So how many battles to advance through each stage?" Turner "Win your first battle to be a Baron. Win five battles and advance to Viscount. Win twenty battles to be an Earl. Win forty battles to be a Marquis. Win 140 battles to be a Duke. Then you can challenge the Grand Duchess and if you win against her, you will be a Grand Duke" Julian "So if I be a Grand Duke, what are the benefits?" Julian asked. Turner "If you do be a Grand Duke, you will, of course, get fame and money but you will also get aet shard" Hearing this, Julian was surprised, aet shard is very expensive, it costs millions of dors, people who collect them go crazy, and with so little of them on demand, people go to great lengths to get them. Julian learned that aet shard was even sold in an auction for a billion dors, though theet shard was bigger than anything that entered the market, even a small one could fetch a billion dors in the future, the older the shard, the more expensive it is. Julian was now really interested in this, a billion-dor is a billion-dor, converting it into a liquid fund will be great, most of Julian asset is on stocks, having liquid assets is always better. Turner "So will you participate?" Turner asked. Julian "Sure why not" Turner "That fantastic, you can register with your trainer ID" Julian didn''t make them wait and gave his trainer ID, Turner took the Id and took a look at it and was surprised by reading the name and seeing the photo on it, he couldn''t process his thoughts for a second before calming down. Turner "What an unexpected surprise" He said and looked at the man in the mask. Chapter 994 - Battle Chateau (2) Turner "What an unexpected surprise" He said while looking at the man behind the mask. ?? Julian "Well I didn''t want to surprise you but I tend to have that effect on people" Julian said with a smile and removed his mask. Turner also smiled and handed over the ID to the maid so she can register Julian into their database, the maid bowed her head and went away leaving Julian and Duke Turner all alone. Turner "Why don''t you follow me, I will show you around the Chateau while my maid finish all the registration process" Julian "Sure lead the way" Julian said and followed Turner as he was given a tour around the Chateau, as Julian expected, the Chateau is as big he expected, there were many rooms, massive gardens, everywhere he went he could see different trainers wearing different color capes, the color he saw the trainers wearing the most was white, it was some kind of royal cape. Julian was interested in those capes so he asked Turner. Turner "Those capes indicate your title, you see most of the trainers here are wearing white as white cape indicates that their rank is Baron" Julian "What about other colors?" Julian asked. Turner "Blue for Viscount/Viscountess. Green for Earl/Countess. Yellow for Marquis/Marchioness. Red for Duke/Duchess. Purple for Grand Duke/Grand Duchess" Hearing this Julian nodded his head, he understood how things worked here, while Duke Turner mentioned about Dukes and Duchess, Julian saw no one with Red capes, he did see a few with Yellow capes but they were quite a few in numbers, to get a yellow cape these trainers must have battled a lot and won continuously. Defeating 40 trainers isn''t that hard but beating 40 trainers without losing during the process is something only powerful trainers can achieve. The challenges the Battle Chateau have seemed to be much tougher than the gym challenges itself, battling here would be of great benefit to his pokemons. The tour finally ended as Julian and Turner were joined by the maid again, the maid handed over his ID back to him. Turner "Now that you have registered, do you n to participate in your first ever battle here in the Chateau, if you win, you will be granted the title of Baron" Duke Turner said and looked at Julian. Julian "Sure, why not, my pokemons needs some trainer" Julian said and got ready for the uing battle, Turner excused himself as he went to prepare for the battle as well, the announcement of two new trainers battling was spread all over the Chateau. People got excited because this new trainer can be very strong and they might be the one to end their streak. Unlike gym battles, Battle Chateau is very hard and many people know this, that is why the participants are very few, being a Baron is not enough and most people can win five continuous battles. As Julian was ready, he was instructed by one of the maids of the Chateau to enter the battlefield, Julian didn''t want to waste other people''s time and entered the battlefield, he didn''t hide his face and let people see him, he has nothing to hide here. And people would really not be that surprised seeing him in the Battle Chateau as some of the biggest trainers in Unova are also a part of it, believe it or not, but the Battle Chateau can be considered as big as the league but here only the higher ranking trainers get the recognition. Most people get recognition from themon masses when they reach Earl or Countess, while Marquises and Marchionesses are considered to be trainers equal to top gym leaders, every gym leader right now is a Marquises and Marchionesses but even they had to go through multiple waves of trainers and suffered multiple losses along the way to earn the title. Julian wondered when he will reach the top of thedder, which is of course the title of the Grand Duke. As Julian entered the battlefield, he could hear gasps of surprisesing from the balcony where most of the trainers were standing, ready to watch the battle. The trainers are indeed surprised by Julian''s appearance, they had heard about Julian being in Kalos but they didn''t expect to see him here in Battle Chateau in person, now they are excited and worried at the same time. They are excited to see him battle and some of them were a little worried because they didn''t want to face him and lose their winning streak, it was especially worrisome to trainers who entered Baron''s ranking. They need five continuous wins to advance to Viscount or Viscountess and if theye across Julian, their chance of losing is very high. Once Julian entered the battlefield, he looked at his opponent who wasn''t as surprised as the spectators on the balcony as he was already informed on who he will be facing, when he heard that he will be facing Julian, he gave up on his hopes and dreams, his very first battle in the Battle Chateau might be a loss. But he still has some hope, Julian is known for using new pokemons at the start of his journey in a new region so he doesn''t expect Julian''s pokemons to be too powerful and unbeatable. Chapter 995 - Battle Chateau (3) Julian and his opponent took their ce on the battlefield and waited for the referee to enter and start the battle. They didn''t have to wait long as the referee entered and took his position and started to exin the rules of the battle, it was the same rules as any league or gym battle. ?? This will be a simple one vs one pokemon battle, if Julian wins this, he will be a Baron. The referee started the battle before asking them to choose their pokemons for the battle, Julian chose b¨¦b¨¦ while his opponent chose a Pansage. Once the battle started, Julian''s opponent made the first move. Trainer "Use Vine Whip" Julian "Use Energy Ball" As Pansage''s Vine Whip charged at b¨¦b¨¦, she used her Energy Ball and tossed it straight at Pansage, the two moves collided and cause a small explosion. Pansage''s whips were sent back to where they came from and struck Pansage, Pansage was stunned by this, Julian then continued his attacks. Julian "Use Fairy Wind" As Pansage was still trying to steady its bnce, a gust of Fairy Wind hit it and sent it rolling on the ground. Julian was not going to stop after this, he attacked again, and this time to end this battle. Trainer "Pansage, quickly get back to your feet" The trainer knew that his Pansage needs to get back to its feet or this battle will be over. Julian "Energy Ball" b¨¦b¨¦ charged up an Energy Ball and sted it towards Pansage which is still trying to get back to its feet after it was rattled by the Fairy Wind. The Energy Ball hit it right in the face and sent it tumbling through the ground and when it finally stopped, the result was clear as everyone saw that Pansage was knocked out. The referee didn''t wait around and called out for the result, with Julian winning his first battle, he is now a Baron. With this wines a reward, Duke Turner came down towards the battlefield with a white cape in his hand, he then wrapped the white cape around Julian''s shoulder and dered him as a Baron. Julian looked at the cape and realized that the cape is made of very expensive cloth and the badge that was attached to the cape was ted with gold, it was very stylish and Julian wouldn''t mind wearing it outside the Chateau. Once Julian was dered the Baron, the information was updated into the Chateau''s official web page and it didn''t even take a minute before people started to talk about it. Julian didn''t know about this as he was admiring his new cape. Turner "Do you wish to continue battling?" He asked. Julian stopped admiring his cape and looked at Turner and back at his b¨¦b¨¦, his b¨¦b¨¦ didn''t even sweat in thest battle so he can continue the battle. Julian "Can I switch my pokemon?" Turner "Not during the battle but if you defeat an opponent and continue to battle to increase your win score, then you can" Turner exined. Julian "Then let''s continue" Turner "Ok then, from now on, you will have to defeat five opponents to advance to the next rank" Julian nodded his head and went back to his position on the battlefield, seeing Julian return back to the battlefield caused quite a ruckus among the trainers and especially the other Barons who are close to their fifth win, the hoped that they don''t get called to face of Julian. The trainers are chosen randomly by aputer so anyone can be facing Julian if they are a Baron. Julian waited for his opponent and soon a girl walked in, this girl seems to have won her second battle and now it''s her third one, she is really nervous, she didn''t expect she would face Julian but she couldn''t do anything about it either. She just decided to treat it as facing any other trainer because losing a match is not that rare in the Chateau. The battle started and soon ended as well, b¨¦b¨¦ has gotten a lot better at using her energy and power up her moves. Julian stayed on the battlefield and decided to continue the battle, he stuck with b¨¦b¨¦ and won the battle again, these continuous battle is now taking a toll on b¨¦b¨¦ but Julian decided to stick with her on his third battle as well. Seeing Julian''s b¨¦b¨¦ a little tired, his third opponent was a little hopeful but his hope was shattered as b¨¦b¨¦ won again. Julian finally decided to give her some rest and sent out his Porygon for his fourth battle, seeing how Julian wants to continue battling, many realized that he wants to advance to Viscount rank today. This was not new as some powerful trainers have done this in the past but it''s very rare. Julian''s Porygon one shot its opponent winning Julian his fourth battle for the Viscount rank, and just like the fourth battle, the fifth battle also ended with just one move. Julian won six battles today, the first battle made him a Baron, and the other five battle to advance to the Viscount rank. Chapter 996 - Blocked Path As soon as Julian finished his fifth battle for the Viscount rank, Duke Turner arrived on the battlefield again and this time he has a Blue Cape with him, he approached Julian with a smile on his face. Turner "Congrattions on bing a Viscount" ?? He said and removed the white cape from Julian and put the blue cape around his shoulder making him a Viscount. Julian looked at the white cape in Turner''s hand and said his goodbye to it as he didn''t wear it for much longer, he then looked at his new cape, it was made from a higher quality materialpared to the white cape and the badges on it were actually made from pure gold and not ted with gold like the white cape. He liked this blue one better than the white one but he expects an even better cape when he advances forward the rankings again. Now to advance ranking again, he needs to win 20 continuous battles, he doesn''t have to win all the battles in a single day, he just needs 20 continuous wins which he can spread through days. Julian decided to end it for the day, he can''t continue battling as his pokemons are tired, well Porygon can go on and on and on but Julian didn''t want to do that. He also needed to treat b¨¦b¨¦ as she is very tired from her battles before. He went back to the Chateau and focused on treating his pokemon but he had no idea what was going on online. Just after an hour of Julian bing a Baron, the inte was already going crazy, his fans were already predicting how he will be the next Grand Duke, as they were still socking in the information about Julian being a Baron, the Battle Chateau suddenly updated their site with information about Julian bing a Viscount. And after another minute, another huge wave of inte chaos ensued, Julian trended again and this time his fans praised him like he was a god, there were also people who hated Julian because they were annoyed by Julian''s fans. Even though Julian has done nothing wrong to these people, they just hate him because his fans are so toxic in nature, they tried to diss Julian but they got buried under ''Your mom''s a whore''ments. Julian, of course, knew nothing about them, he is smart enough to not use social media under his real name, he does have a private ount under Infernape''s name and he makes sure to never read about anything rted to him. ____________________ Julian rested for the day and continued his journey towards Cyge city, he bid farewell to Duke Turner as they escorted him out of the Chateau the next day. Turner "I don''t think you will be able to use the connecting cave to reach Cyge city, you will have to use route 8 and head to Ambrette city and then make your way to Cyge city" Julian "Did something happen to the connecting cave?" Julian asked. Turner "Yes, the inside of the cave is covered with rubbles, the route ispletely blocked, work to clear the road is still going on" Turner said. Julian "I see" Julian nodded and finally left, it didn''t actually take him that long to reach the connecting cave as the Chateau was quite close to it but as Duke Turner had said, the cave was not essible, this cave acted as a shortcut, a direct link between route 7 and Cyge city. People were having a hard time reaching Cyge city by going around the mountain so the government decided to drill a hole through the mountain and make a cave to make things easier. Julian looked at the under-construction sight blocking the entry of the cave and sighed, he didn''t expect it would take him so long for him to reach Cyge city. He then made a turn and entered route 8 and headed towards Ambrette city, Ambrette city is one of the most important cities in Kalos as it contains one of the main harbors of the region. He wanted to get to Cyge city as soon as possible but seeing that his path is blocked, Ambrette city is the only option, he heard that there is a massive aquarium in the city so he can consider it as a trip before he reaches Cyge city. As he made his way towards Ambrette city, he focused on training his Honedge, his Honedge one of those very exceptional pokemon that are very rare toe so Julian is not going to waste his potential. He wants to make Honedge his ace, with Honedge being a steel/ghost typing, Julian can make Gengar train him on his ghost energy and for the steel typing, Julian ns to bring one of his old pokemons as well. But for now, he stuck to the basic, he thought Honedge the basic and how to be more efficient in a battle, Honedge caught onto Julian''s teaching very easily which surprised Julian even more, the speed that Honedge was learning wasparable to Porygon, maybe not as fast as Porygon but pretty close nheless. Julian is excited to see how strong his Honedge will really be in the future, while he trained Honedge, he let b¨¦b¨¦ have some rest and y around as she did great in the Battle Chateau. As for Porygon, its training continued, the more Julian spent time with Porygon the more he started to understand this pokemon, even though it looked lifeless, Julian realized that the pokemon has a consciousness. He asked the system if this consciousness existed before it was modified by the system, to which he learned that Porygon formed its consciousness after the modification was done, Julian was just in awe as he realized that the system to do so much more but for now, it has no use for it. Chapter 997 - Two More On The List It took him another week to reach Ambrette town and when he reaches there, he was greeted by a grand view of the beautiful ocean that shimmered under the bright sunlight, Julian took some time to look at the view. No matter how many times he looks at the ocean, he never gets tired, it reminds him of how vast this world really is and there is so much to explore. ?? He then entered the town and was surprised by the infrastructure of the whole town, the town itself is built at the edge of the cliff which went downhill connected to the beach and docks. Though the town doesn''t have a gym, it does have some interesting things that could keep him busy for a while, he found himself a hotel room first and rested for a while before heading out again, he wanted to look around the town and see if he could find some pokemons. He was actually interested in two pokemons that could be found around this town, this was rare because he never found more than one pokemon in the same area that caught his interest. And now he found two species that would be a great addition to his team, he continued his tour around the town and found a pokemon fossilb, he got curious as he wondered if there are any fossil pokemons here. He knows that there are two fossil pokemons that are native to the Kalos region and he wants to see them, the fossil pokemons didn''t interest him that much except their rarity. He decided to enter the fossilb and look around for a bit, as he entered theb he saw many bones and fossils of pokemon on disy, this ce looked more like a museum more than a fossilb, his arrival caught the attention of many people inside theb. Most of the people inside theb are researchers so they were surprised to see a visitor, not many peoplee here so getting a visitor is something new. Julian looked around and examined the fossils, he was approached by one of the researchers and talked to him, Julian soon found out that there are actually two living fossil pokemons here, the researcher even invited Julian to take a look at the two fossil pokemons. Julian was taken to a freezing room and when he walked inside he saw a tall blue pokemon Aurorus, the loose skin behind its neck glowed beautifully, this pokemon was one of the most beautiful pokemon he has ever seen. He also saw another pokemon hiding behind the blue colossal, this pokemon looked simr to Aurorus but smaller, it is the revolution of Aurorus, Amaura. The two pokemon were quite friendly, their skin was very cold to touch and Julian enjoyed his time with them, once he was done, he left the fossilb and headed towards the beach, not to enjoy the beach but to catch some pokemon. When he got to the beach, he was greeted by the sight of people enjoying their time here, children running around and beautiful women in their bikinis. Julian being a man of culture took some time and enjoyed the view of giggling boobs as girls ran out of the water, once he was done, he searched for a spot near a cliff to start fishing. He is looking for pokemons that live underwater, Julian knows this will be hard but if he wants the pokemon he wants, he needs to fish for them. As he looked around he did find a nice spot to fish, he also saw an old man close by fishing as well, the old man noticed a young maning to the fishing spot, he watched as the young man sat down and started to set up his fishing set. Old Man "New to town huh?" The Old Man asked. Julian paused and looked at the Old Man and nodded his head before taking out his own fishing rod and put a bait at the end of the finishing rope before dropping it into the water. Old Man "What are you expecting to catch?" The Old Man asked. He is a little curious about Julian because not many young mene here to fish. Julian "I hope to catch a Skrelp and a uncher" Old Man "Then you havee to the right ce, this ce has strong current and those two can be found in strong currents" Julian "That''s why I came here" Julian said. Old Man "You seem to knew your stuff, do you fish regrly?" The Old Man asked Julian "I don''t fish much but I did some research on where to find the pokemons I am looking for" Old Man "You know if it is just Pokemon that you need? you can find some in the market, hahahahaha" The Old Man said andughed. Julian looked at the Old Man in surprise, it was not because he didn''t know about the pokemons in the market, it was because the pokemons that can be found there are all dead, they are used for food. Julian realized that this Old Man has quite a dark sense of humor, Julian, of course, didn''t find this funny at all so he just let out an awkward forcedugh and continued with his finishing and decided to forget the idea of eating pokemons. Eating pokemons is nothing foreign to him, people do that but he prefers not to, he eats normal farmed animals but not pokemons, pokemons are way moreplicated than a normal animal. Chapter 998 - Fishermens Myth Ignoring the awkward silence between him and the old man, Julian took his seat on the edge of the cliff and wound his fishing rod, and tossed it into the powerful current that is crashing into the cliff. The pokemons he is looking for can only found under these kinds of strong currents, as the currents swept across boulders, the bait under the water acted like a living thing attracting the attention of pokemons swimming in the deep waters. ?? Julian kept waiting, waiting for a pokemon to take his bait and he didn''t have to wait much longer, his bait was taken as he felt a strong pull at the other end of the string, feeling the power behind the pull Julian knew he caught a powerful pokemon. He started to reel in his catch, it took a few minutes before his catch finally surfaced, the pokemon jumped out of the water shining under the bright sunlight as its scale reflected it over the cliff. The old man who was fishing beside him was suddenly shocked by seeing the pokemon that Julian just caught, he couldn''t believe his own eyes, he thought it was a myth but right now the pokemon is right in front of him. Many over the time have tried to catch this pokemon but none were sessful and the pokemon soon turned into a myth but now it has been caught for the first time. Julian looked at his catch in surprise as well as it was a massive golden Magikarp, it was even bigger than the one he caught in Kanto, looking at this Magikarp, Julian could tell that this one is over level 40 and one of the strongest wild Magikarp he has ever seen but this was not the pokemon he is after. He pulled up the Magikarp and cut it loose, the golden Magikarp dove into the water again and disappeared, and only two people were fortunate enough to see it. The old man next to Julian is still in shock with his bulging eyes staring at Julian and confused by the choice that Julian just made. Old Man "Wh...Wh...Wha...What ha...have you ju...just done?" The Old man shuddered and eximed. Julian turned and looked at the old man notching that he was in shock. Julian "What happened Old man?" Julian asked totally confused about the current situation. Old Man "That Magikarp that you just caught and released is a myth, many people over the year tried to catch it but none were sessful, people thought that it was just a myth made by fishermen over the year" Julian "Oh! cool" Julian said and tossed his bait back into the water to catch his next pokemon. Old Man "Oh! cool? Nothing is cool about releasing that Magikarp, do you even know how much fame it would bring if people in the fishermenmunity knew about it, you would have be world-famous!" The Old man said while still astonished by Julian''s decision to release the Magikarp. Julian "Oh No! Anyway, I am busy right now, I can think about itter" Julian said and went back to fishing ignoring the astonished Old man, while the Magikarp might seem like a big deal to others, Julian didn''t care much, someone like him who has seen and caught pokemon that are rarer and dangerous than the Magikarp, though the Magikarp was a surprising catch Julian was not that taken back by its appearance. Julian continued to fish and the old man sighed and returned back to his spot and did the same, Julian caught more pokemons as he waited, he even caught the ones he was looking for but as he wanted the better ones he let them go. The Old man kept observing Julian''s action, even after seeing Julian catch a uncher, he saw the young man cut it loose, he didn''t understand what Julian was after but decided to just watch. After hours Julian finally caught a pokemon he found, a Skrelp came out andnded on the ground and suddenly used Acid on Julian, he jumped to the side and sent out Honedge. This is Honedge''s first battle, even though not official, he could still gain some experience, being immune to Poison and resistant to Dragon-type attacks, Honedge was the perfect match for a pokemon like Skrelp. Skrelp shot another Acid at Honedge but he didn''t dodge, the Acid blob fell on him and slid down his body falling on the ground, the acid touched the ground and sizzled. Julian "Fury Cutter" Honedge charged forward and shed at Skrelp multiple times, with no experience in battle as it being very young, it couldn''t counter those moves from Honedge, Skrelp was sent rolling on the ground. Julian didn''t waste any time and threw a Pokeball at Skrelp and caught it, the Pokeball shook multiple times before stopping with a confirmation beep. With one catch sessful, Julian was quite happy, he decided to go back ande tomorrow, he is mentally tired after waiting for such a long time catching pokemon and releasing them back into the water. Chapter 999 - Cyllage City After spending the night in his hotel room, Julian went back to the cliff again, he did catch a lot of unchers there but none of them met his criteria but he knew he could find one, as there will always be one pokemon that is special in the herd. He continued fishing, this time there is no one around him, it was just him, the waves crashing into the cliff, the sound of wind rushing around him, he waited as he caught several pokemons, to his surprise, he even caught some normal fish which is quite rare in the wild as they get eaten up by pokemons. ?? Julian decided to use this fish as bait and tossed it back into the chaotic water and as soon as he did so, a pokemon suddenly lunged out of the water and grabbed the fish with its w, as soon as he saw this, Julian pulled the fishing rod as fast as possible. He knew if he had waited any longer, the pokemon''s w would have ripped the fish in half and got away with the bait, because of Julian''s choice, the pokemon was pulled out of its domain and flung into the sky. He then reeled it in towards him, the Pokemon is none other than uncher, this was what Julian was looking for, as soon as unchernded on the ground, Julian sent out his Porygon to battle. As soon as unchernded, it used its bigger w and aimed it directly at Porygon and shot Water Gun at Porygon, Porygon just analyzed its opponent and waited for Julian''smand. Julian "Use Protect" Porygon used Protect and blocked the Water Gun easily. Julian "Now, Thunderbolt" After easily blocking the Water Gun, Porygon retaliated with a Thunderbolt striking down uncher and knocking it out cold. Julian threw a Pokeball and captured it as well, catching uncher and Skrelp was easy, but training them will be a lot harder. Julian picked up the Pokeball and brought it out, uncher looked weak but Julian fed it some berries to heal it, he then took the pokemon to the pokemon center and heal it properly. Both his new pokemons are male and with good potential. Now that he looks at his team, he is surprised by it, he didn''t even face his second gym and he already has five pokemons with him. Porygon, b¨¦b¨¦, Honedge, Skrelp, uncher. Though he caught a lot of pokemon at the very beginning, he was quite happy with it, catching pokemons he wanted very early was a great sign, he could train them much better than pokemons that he will findter in his journey. With everything set, he knew it was time to continue towards Cyge city, he went back to his hotel room and got ready to leave, he didn''t waste any time and left the town as he has nothing to do here. The route he has to take is very long as it goes around the mountain, along the way, he focused on training his two new pokemon, Skrelp, and uncher, his main focus was on uncher as his being a water type will give Julian an advantage, during the beginning of the journey, Julian has to take advantage of all the typing advantages that he can get because pokemons at the lower level are not that different in strength, a few levels between them can be easily ovee by type advantage moves. A few good hits and a lower level pokemon can take down a higher-level one, the difference between levels can only be seen when pokemon reaches a higher level as each level up feels like a milestone to them, and the power-up that it brings is also massive. After training uncher and Skrelp on the basics of battling and how to make themselves useful on the battlefield, Julian continued up route 8, after a few days of traveling he was finally able to see the city of rocks. He could see massive mountains towering towards the sky while small buildings could be seen at the foot of the mountain. Though it looked like a small city from his viewpoint, the city in fact is quite massive as many buildings follow the mountain''s shape and circles around it. Julian descended down the mountain and entered the city, as he had expected, the city is busting with people and most of them have a rock-type pokemon with them, being a mountain region it is expected to have a lot of rock pokemons around here. Like every other city, this city is filled with people walking around and doing their daily business, Julian soon found himself a hotel and rented a room, this city didn''t have much that caught his attention, the only thing Julian is interested in his gym battle. Sitting inside his hotel room, Julian is looking at the info being disyed on hisptop about Cyge city''s gum leader Grant, the gym leader is known to be very strong and is also a Duke in the Battle Chateau, this alone makes him a very strong opponent. But things will be different when Julian will be battling him as he will be Julian''s second challenge, Grant won''t be able to use his ace team to go against Julian, he needs to use the regr pokemons that he uses against other challengers. Julian soon started to look into Grant''s team. Chapter 1000 - Training Before The Battle Julian looked at Grant''s pokemon team and was surprised by it as both of his pokemons are fossil pokemons, one is Amaura and the other is Tyrunt. Both are fossil pokemons, turning from fossils to living beings, Julian already knows a little about Amaura as he had interacted with it in the fossilb, being a Rock/Ice type, Julian isn''t worried about Amaura at all, due to its typing, it has too many weakness which Julian''s pokemons can exploit ?? Julian ns on using uncher against Amaura, as for Tyrunt Julian ns on using Honedge, Tyrunt will be a tough one because of how powerful its attacks are, Julian has learned that Tyrunt''s bites can crush rocks and it can be quite troublesome. Julian knows the danger of pokemons with insane attack stats even at a lower level, like his Rampardos, when he was just a Cranidos his attacks were like missiles to his opponents due to their low defense. Though Honedge''s defense is extremely high for his level, Julian doesn''t want to take chances, who knows what Grant''s pokemons can do, one thing that Julian knows better than anyone is to always be open to possibilities. After he was done with his research, he walked out of his hotel room and headed towards the mountain to train, it looked like most trainers living here did the same as well, Cyge city is peaceful and most of its pokemon parks are on top of the mountain. He walked up the mountain on his feet, he even had to do some rock climbing to get to the highest position as he wanted to see the city from the top, and he was not alone, many people in this city seem to be very interested in rock climbing. He saw many people climbing the mountain using just their bare hands, he got to the top and began training his pokemon, focusing on Honedge and uncher as they will be the ones facing Grant and his pokemons, Julian pushed the two to their limits. He wanted to go a little easy on uncher as he is quite new to the team and not that close to Julian but he was surprised by the stubbornness of the little guy, it wanted to train along with Honedge and grow stronger, it looks like the defeat it suffered from Porygon has ticked him off a little and he wants to get back. He even tried to provoke Porygon but he was unlucky as Porygon just ignored his existence which pissed of uncher even more, he even tried to pinch Porygon with his bigger w but only received a zap of electricity in self-defense from Porygon''s side as his self-defense mode kicked in. ________________ Seeing that uncher is determined to train harder, he picked up the pace of the training and pushed both Honedge and uncher to their limits, Honedge did a lot better than uncher as it seems that he has an exceptional talent for a battle pokemon. Not all pokemons are built for battles, two pokemons of the same species might be better at different things and not only battle, that is why it is important for a trainer to figure out their pokemon''s strength at a very early stage. This is also the reason why Julian always tries to find pokemon with the best potential for battling and not others. The training went well, Julian is focusing on teaching Honedge how to use Sr de, this move is just like Sr Beam but physical, he also thought Honedge some other moves that will be very useful in the uing battle but the main focus right now will be Sr de. As for uncher, he focused on teaching him Scald, right now his uncher seems to be favoring the defensive side as both his Defense and Special Defense are better than his Attack and Special Attack, but that will not be the case in the future, when he evolves, there will be massive changes as his Special Attack will rise through the roof and Julian wants to make sure that uncher is used to using his Special Attacks more than his Physical Attacks. Though Scald for uncher is the priority right now, he is also teaching him some physical moves as well, he won''t evolve right now and still has some time, till then it is better to have some physical arsenal as it will be helpful during a battle. Training continued for another two days before Julian finally decided to go and challenge the gym leader of Cyge city. The gym is not actually located in the city but on one of the mountain tops, Julian will have to climb the mountain to get there, climbing a rocky mountain is actually not that hard for him, he could just grab crevasses andunch himself through the air with the immense strength he has. But he didn''t, he needs to be careful to not show his strength in front of normal people, he is not the only one who will be climbing the mountain, there were be locals and travelers who will be testing themselves there as well. Soon he began his ascension to the top of the mountain along with other peoples, he made sure not to show off and maintained a well-paced speed towards the top of the mountain. Chapter 1001 - Questionable Judgment Climbing the mountain at a normal pace took some time but Julian is fine with it, he was not worried about beingte, the sun is still high up in the air. The Cyge gym is actually not at the top at all, he had to make his way towards a cliff that is about 20 meters below the top of the mountain, once he got there, he saw the entrance of the gym, the entrance is quite big, he could also see a massive gym symbol on top of the entrance, so no one would confuse it as anything else other than a gym. ?? Because at first nce it just looks like a cave in a mountain, without that gym symbol on top, people would never figure out that this is a gym. As he entered through the cave entrance and found himself inside the gym, this gym is actually very different from any other gyms he has ever seen, instead of a battlefield that could be found in every gym, Julian saw a massive rock structure in the middle of the gym, this structure is filled with small rocks all over it. It was clear that this is a rock climbing wall which is artificially made, Julian looked up and noticed a man standing at the top, Julian looked at the young man carefully, the young man looked talk, has dark skin, wearing ck long sleeve with grey pants but what stood out most about him was his hair, it was weirdly shaped like a mountain, he also had colorful stones stuck to his hair as well. Just from the looks of it, Julian could tell that this person is quite a character. The man suddenly jumped and grabbed onto a stone and started climbing down the massive structure, he soon stood in front of Julian looking him in the eye. Julian removed his mask and nodded at Grant. Grant "So it''s you, you havee to challenge me for a gym battle" Julian "Indeed" Julian nodded. Grant "Then let''s go" Grant said and climbed up the structure with ease, he only took five to six steps swinging from one stone to another, he reached the top. Julian looked around and found an elevator and walked towards it. Grant "Don''t you want to climb up?" He asked. Julian "Na, I have done too much climbing for the day" Grant didn''t say anything and just frowned, he didn''t expect this at all, most of his challengers would try to climb up the structure to prove themselves that they are strong trainers but Julian didn''t, he didn''t understand why. He just watched as Julian enters the elevator and get on top of the structure, once he got to the top he finally saw the battlefield, it looks like the whole battlefield is built on top of this structure. Julian walks towards his side of the battlefield and waits for Grant to take his ce as well. Grant doesn''t like this at all, he feels that Julian is too arrogant, but he doesn''t say anything and just takes his ce on the battlefield. Grant "Before we battle, I want to ask something?" Julian "Sure, Go ahead" Julian said Grant "Why don''t climb the wall like any other challenger, it would have proved that you are trying your best to do your best and take the hard route to reach the top, it would have been more admirable" Grant said. Julian "Indeed, I could easily climb that wall but I don''t need to prove to anyone about my capabilities, the world has already seen it, and climbing a rock doesn''t prove anything" Julian said. Grant "Why would you say that?" Julian "Will a fat man be able to climb the wall?" Julian asked. Grant was about to say something but stopped because he didn''t understand what Julian was saying. Julian "What if this man was the strongest trainer in the world but he just couldn''t climb the wall because he is too fat, do you think he will be less admirable?" Grant didn''t know what to say and just looked at Julian for an answer. Julian "Yes climbing a wall is impressive, trainers who choose to climb the wall are indeed admirable taking the hard route but sometimes some people are not suitable for such path, it is near impossible for them to do so, but that doesn''t mean they are less admirable, they just took a different path to get there. You are viewing and judging others with your own perspective, but you never put yourself in their position, you should stop doing that" Julian said. Grant thought for a few seconds, he realized that his perspective over hard work and admirable character was not that great, he judged people byparing himself to others. Julian "Let''s start the battle then, I heard you are a strong trainer, I hope you don''t disappoint" Julian said and smiled. Seeing the smug smile on Julian''s face ticked Grant, even though he learned something new from Julian, he still felt that was arrogant and he is mocking him. Chapter 1002 - Julian Vs Grant (1) Grant decided to calm down first and not get carried over, he has seen Julian battle, he has seen how he can rile up his opponents into making stupid decisions, right now Grant knows that he needs to calm down and focus on the battle. As a gym leader, he needs to give his best and make it hard for the challenger, but right now he is facing one of the strongest if not the strongest trainers to ever step foot inside his gym. ?? With both of them in their position, the referee soon came out of his room and took his stage as well, he then looked at both Julian and Grant. He then started to exin the rules of the battle to them, this will be a two vs two pokemon battle and the rules are simr to any other gym battle, once he was finished exining the rules of the battle, he asked both of them to choose their pokemon. Being the gym leader Grant decided to go first and sent out his Amaura into the battlefield, Julian didn''t make him wait as well and sent out uncher into the battlefield as well. With both pokemons ready to battle, the referee waved his gs and indicated the start of the battle. Grant didn''t attack outright as he wanted to learn more about his opponent''s pokemon, seeing that Grant didn''t want to make the first move, Julian decided to help him start this battle. Julian "Use Water Gun" uncher opened his bigger w and shot a stream of fast water beam, seeing the iing attack Grant quickly thought of something and made his move. Grant "Use Ice Beam" For now, he decided to counter, for now, he knows his Amaura is a better special attacker than uncher, and using Ice Beam, a more powerful attack than Water Gun should allow his Amaura to push back. The two attacks collided and as soon as the Ice Beam touched the Water Gun, it froze the water in ce and continued towards uncher freezing water along the way. As the Ice Beam was about to touch uncher, Julianmanded uncher to dodge the Ice Beam. uncher moved to the side and moved away from the dangerous Ice Beam, Julian watched as the Ice Beam hit the ground which caused small ice shards to form around it. Julian was testing the water and now he knows that Amaura is a much better special attacker than he thought, even though he had interacted with one before, he didn''t see its full potential in battle, and now he knows. uncher crawled to the side and kept his focus on his opponent, even though he hasn''t spent that much time under Julian, he understands the basics and knows that he should never lose sight of his opponent. With locked focus, uncher waited for Julian to make anothermand. Julian only took a few seconds toe up with a strategy, after figuring out what kind of pokemon Amaura is, he knew he had to get close and deliver some powerful physical attacks as Amaura could just keep countering his uncher''s attacks as it being a superior special attacker. Julian "Use Aqua Jet" uncher knew few moves before Julian caught him and Aqua Jet is one of them, he decided to use the momentum that Aqua Jet can build to get closer to Amaura faster. uncher pointed his bigger w at Amaura and covered himself in a veil of water and suddenly charged at Amaura, as Aqua Jet activated uncher''s speed increased as he shot towards Amaura. Seeing how Julian decided to approach Grant, he didn''t know what Julian was nning, this was clearly a wed way to approach an opponent who is a special attacker and is at distance, Grant didn''t have much time to think about it and decided to take advantage of this situation and win against Julian. He wondered if it was really this easy to win against Julian. Grant "Use Ice Beam" Amaura locked onto the iing Aqua Jet and shot an Ice Beam at it, as soon as the Ice Beam made contact with the Aqua Jet, it froze the water surrounding uncher in an instant. Due to the sudden change, the now ice block became heavy and was pulled down by gravity, the ice block which looked like an ice bullet slowly lost all its momentum and slowly slid towards Amaura until it came to aplete standstill. Grant looked at Julian and back at the block of ice that was right in front of his Amaura, he couldn''t believe he won so easily against Julian, one of the stronger trainer in the world but this thought of his onlysted for a few seconds as he realized something was off, he saw a smile on Julian''s face and it isn''t a smile of a person who just lost a battle. Julian "Now Crabhammer" The ice block suddenly shattered and uncher burst out of it swinging his massive w which is glowing blue covered in concentrated water energy, Crabhammer is one of the moves uncher already knew. Grant realized that he fell into a trap and quicklymanded his Amaura to get out of there but it was toote. Grant "QUICK DODGE!" He shouted but he was toote, the glowing w of unchernded on the chin of Amaura which caused its whole body to crash into the ground hard causing dust to rise up. As soon as the dust settled down, Amaura could be seen on the floor motionless, it got knocked out, though a stronger special attacker and special defender, its physical defense was not enough for it to take a full power Crabhammer which is one of the stronger physical water-type attacks which it is also weak to. Chapter 1003 - Julian Vs Grant (2) Referee "Amaura is unable to battle, uncher wins" The referee called out for the result. ?? Grant is shocked by the oue, he didn''t expect his Amaura to go down with one hit but he didn''tin, he knew that he messed up and fell into Julian''s trap. It was very obvious that Julian is no amateur and seeing him make an amateur mistake could only mean that he is setting up a trap, Grant couldn''t see how Julian was going to implement the trap he was about to set up and Grant got too greedy and took his chance which caused him to fall right into Julian''s trap. He sighed and sent Amaura back into its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon, Tyrunt. A new pokemon enter the battlefield and Julian took a good look at it, the pokemon in front of him was not that small as he thought it would be, it stood about 80 cm tall, it has a massive head, and a small body. Julian could see the pokemon chomp down its jaws trying to intimidate his uncher, Julian had to admit that getting bit by those jaws will end up in tragedy and he didn''t want that and that is why Julian sent uncher back to his pokemon. Even though uncher could take on Tyrunt, Julian wanted Honedge to take the stage and experience his very first official gym battle. Julian sent out Honedge and he took the stage after making a shy entrance by doing flips and shes in the air. Once both pokemons were at a standstill, they looked at each other, one is a very powerful attacker while the other''s defense is almost imprable. With both pokemons taking their stage, there was no use in waiting around, this time Grant made the first move. Grant "Use Fire Fang" Looks like Grant''s Tyrunt has some moves in its arsenal that could deal heavy damage to Honedge but Julian is not worried. Tyrunt charges at Honedge with full speed as mes spew out of his mouth, as it got closer to Honedge, it tried to take a chomp out of him. Julian "Go up and use Fury Cutter" Honedge dodged the Fire Fang by floating up and creating some distance between him and Tyrunt, he then unsheathed himself and swung at Tyrunt with his de multiple times using Fury Cutter, Tyrunt was smart and moved back a little and dodged a few shes but some of them made contact. Tyrunt was able to take those shes as they didn''t do much damage, Tyrunt''s defense is really good as well, not as good as Honedge but good enough, Honedge''s attacks were also powerful rivaling Tyrunt''s or maybe just a little weaker than Tyrunt''s. Honedge continued with Fury shes but Tyrunt quickly made some distance between it and Honedge, Honedge also stopped as it would only put him at a disadvantage if he continues to pursue Tyrunt. Grant analyzed the development and started to think of a way to counter Julian''s Honedge, since Tyrunt is a physical attacker, he didn''t have any powerful special attacks that could do any damage to Honedge, the same could be said for Honedge as well, he is a great physical attacker butcks in special attacks. That is why Julian wants to make this a full-on brawl, he knows his Honedge can easily overpower Tyrunt after a few minutes due to his superior defense which will lead to Julian''s victory, Grant also knew this and is trying to keep some distance between his Tyrunt and Julian''s Honedge. After few seconds Julian went on the attack again, he doesn''t want to give Grant too much time toe up with a strategy. Julian "Use Psycho Cut" Julian decided to pressure Grant some more so that Grant''s focus will break and he can exploit it, using powerful moves like Psycho Cut will definitely do that. Honedge charged at Tyrunt and swung his de at Tyrunt with a fiendish purple-pink glow. Grant "Use Fire Fang" Grant decided to counter Honedge as there is no chance to escape this Psycho Cut, Honedge is just too close to his Tyrunt. Tyrunt spewed out hot mes from its mouth and jumped at Honedge swinging his de, as both moves collided, it created a tiny shock wave. Honedge was sent backflipping through the air while Tyrunt crashed hard on the ground, seeing his chance, Julian made his move again. Julian "Ariel Ace" Honedge suddenly stabilized himself and pointed the tip of his de at Tyrunt and dove towards it, he suddenly disappeared in mid-air and appeared right in front of Tyrunt, andnded the devastating Ariel Ace. Tyrunt lost its footing and went rolling but Grant was not done. Grant "Use Bulldoze" Tyrunt got back to its feet and lunged at Honedge with full power as the dome of its head was covered with concentrated ground energy. Julian "Counter with Psycho Cut" Honedge did a fast vertical spit to increase the speed and power of his move at the tip of his de while glowing pinkish-purple, he looked like a vertical saw de ready to cut through thick metal. The two pokemons collided again and this time the oue waspletely one-sided, due to Honedge putting a fast spin behind his attack, the power behind it was far greater, Julian had made sure to teach Honedge how to use speed and momentum to his advantage and Honedge did so. Though he did fly backward, Tyrunt crashed hard on the ground causing the battlefield to crack as its head made contact with the ground. Duse rose high but Tyrunt is still conscious, Julian was surprised as he thought that would have ended it but it didn''t matter, the next move will finish the job, Tyrunt is already stunned after getting hit hard twice under a second, first by the Psycho Cut and then by the ground. Julian "Sr de" As Tyrunt is stunned Julian used this time to set up a Sr de, Honedge started to collect the power of the sun as his de started to be hot and glow brightly as soon as it was charged up to the max Honedge swung at Tyrunt. Tyrunt did recover out of its stun state but it was toote. Grant "Get out of there!" Grant exined and Tyrunt tried its best to use its little feet to get out of harm''s way but the Sr dended and Tyrunt was sent rolling after a mini-explosion. Chapter 1004 - Brackish Town Tyrunt continued to roll on the ground until it finally came to a stop, the referee looked at Tyrunt and knew that it was out for good. Referee "Tyrunt is unable to battle, Honedge wins, the winner of this battle is challenger Julian" ? ? With the referee calling the result, the decision was done, Grant sighed, he didn''t expect this, he thought he would be able to do much better, but like every other trainer that faced Julian, he lost just like them. Grant then approached Julian and handed him over the Cliff Badge, Julian looked at the Cliff Badge, it was one of those badges that didn''t look impressive at all, it was just made of three rectangle blocks connected forming a step-like pattern. Julian took the badge and nodded his head, he bid his farewell and left, there was nothing here to do, both his pokemons got some experience during the battle and that was all that Julian needed. Once he was out of the gym, he climbed down the mountain and headed back to his hotel room, his job here in Cyge city is done so he doesn''t need to stay here any longer. He packed up his stuff and was ready to leave but before he did so, he checked the map to see his next destination. After checking the map, he realized that this next destination will be Shalour city but before he gets there he will have to go through four towns that are between Cyge and Shalour city. He knew that it will take him quite a while before he reaches Shalour city, luckily for him, these three towns are close to each other so he wouldn''t have to spend weeks on the road. With everything set he left Cyge city, there wasn''t much here to make him stay behind anyway, on the road towards the next town, he trained his new pokemons and battled a lot of wild pokemons. He didn''t find any pokemons that he was interested in on the way but that didn''t discourage him, his team is already bigpared to his previous journey, he already has five pokemons right now and he is really not worried about catching any new pokemon for now. He arrived at the first town called Cnthe town, he didn''t stay here for much longer but he did stay here for two days to enjoy the scenery, the next town he came across was Brackish town. Julian heard that this town is famous for its chocte cakes so he knew he has to try several of them which can be found in bakeries all over the town. He entered the town with a smile on his face, wondering how the cakes will taste, his pokemons also seem to be very excited when they heard about this cake from Julian, as soon as he entered the town he was greeted by something he didn''t expect to see. A huge board disyed an exhibition battle between the strongest trainer of this town called Magnus and the training being none other than Diantha, the Champion of Kalos. Seeing this was a pleasant surprise but the exhibition match is a week from now, he wondered what he should do, putting the thought behind his head, he first found himself a hotel to stay at and then started to explore the town and its bakeries. After tasting some of the very famous chocte cakes that can be found in this town, Julian decided to stay for a week and leave after watching Diantha''s battle. It was not Diantha''s battle that made him wait, it really didn''t matter to him at all, he just needed a reason to stay behind and taste those delicious cakes on daily basis and Diantha gave him that reason. He convinced himself that he is staying behind to watch the exhibition match but he didn''t give two hoots about it, he just wanted to eat those cakes for as long as he could. With the excuse set up, Julian did stay in this town for a while week enjoying those cakes, he had them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he even had some between the three main meals. Luckily he doesn''t get fat, imagine eating four to five cakes for a whole week. Even right now he is eating one is waiting for the exhibition match to start. Julian ''No wonder most people in this town are fat'' Julian thought as he took another bite of that chocte cake, even his pokemons were jealous of him because unlike him, they needed to mind their food intake and continuously train and exercise, they could only curse Julian inside their head as they watched Julian eat. The exhibition battle was about to start so Julian made his way towards the stadium, though he was not that interested in this battle, he did learn a few things about today''s exhibition battle, the trainer Diantha is facing is actually one of Kalos League winners. Too bad for him, he never got to face Diantha as he couldn''t get through the Elite Four, he got defeated by the very first Elite Four he challenged. He made his way towards the stadium and when he got there, he saw a familiar face among the crowd. Chapter 1005 - Seeing Familiar Faces When Julian arrived at the stadium where the exhibition match is being held, he saw a familiar face and was happy, he wanted to meet this person for a while now but it looks like he doesn''t need to wait any longer. He approached the man and greeted him. ?? Julian "Professor Sycamore" Julian called out. Professor Sycamore who was talking to a stadium staff turned around and saw a young man in a green jacket walking towards him, Professor Sycamore carefully looked at the young man and realized that it is none other than Julian. Sycamore "Mr. Julian, what are you doing here?" Julian "I just came here to watch the exhibition battle, what about you?" Sycamore "Me? I came here to observe the Champion Diantha use her Mega Evolution and document it for research" Julian "Any particr reason why her?" Julian asked. Sycamore "Indeed, Diantha and her Gardevoir seem to have a very strong bond between them, and when she Mega Evolves her Gardevoir, its power goes off the charts, beyond any normal Mega Evolution that I have been studying so I wanted to see it through my own eyes and document it" Sycamore said. Julian "I see" Julian nodded. He knew about this, the stronger the bond, the better the pokemon can handle the huge overflow of energy within them and the better they are at handling the overflow of energy, the stronger they are. Sycamore "Indeed, there have only been a very few pokemon who can release such powerful energy, some of them being Garchomp who belongs to Champion Cynthia, and Metagross who belongs to Champion Steven. Of course, there is you as well but I don''t have any data on your pokemons and their Mega Evolution but from what I have seen, I believe that your pokemons Mega Evolution are also exceptional" Sycamore said with a big smile on his face. As they talked to each other, Julian heard a few more simr voices approaching them. "Professor Sycamore" Julian turned his head towards the direction of the sound and noticed Ash and his new friends rushing towards them. Ash finally came to a stop right in front of Professor Sycamore and Julian with a big smile on his face, the new girl Serena also arrived right behind him followed by the brother-sister duo. Ash "Professor Sycamore, are you also here to watch the exhibition battle?" He asked. Sycamore "Well actually I am here to document the Mega Evolution of Gardevoir that belongs to Champion Diantha in person" Sycamore said. Ash "Wait? Are you going to meet her in person, can wee as well?" Ash asked as he realized that he could meet Diantha in person, even his new friends seem to be excited about the idea of meeting Diantha, especially the girl Serena who seems star-struck by the fact of meeting Diantha. Well Julian couldn''t me them, Diantha is very famous, not only is she a great and powerful champion but also a massive movie star. Sycamore "Sure why not. What about you Mr. Julian? Want toe with us?" He asked Julian. Ash and his friend soon realized that there was another person standing next to Professor Sycamore, they were so distracted by the fact of meeting Diantha that they forgot about him. Ash "Wait? Julian, is that you?" Ash asked surprised. Julian "Ssshhh" Julian put a finger over his mask and told Ash to keep quiet and not talk out loud as they are still surrounded by normal people. Ash realized this and quickly shut his mouth, his friends were also shocked by realizing that this person is Julian, this is their second time meeting him and they are still feeling overwhelmed by him, how could they not, this person is known as the strongest trainer in the world. Only Ash was immune to this. Julian "Sure why not, I also have something to discuss with you in private" Julian said. Sycamore "What is it?" He asked. Julian "Not here, let''s talk after the exhibition battle is over" Sycamore "Fine, let''s do that" Sycamore agreed to Julian and soon took the group to the back door of the stadium. They were about to get past through the security as Professor Sycamore had an ess pass and Julian didn''t need any as he has bought one of those expensive VIP tickets, Ash and his friends were allowed to enter because of Professor Sycamore as well. One of the staff guided the group towards the room where Diantha is staying, once they get there, Diantha herself came out of her room and noticed the group, she noticed Professor Sycamore and greeted him. Sycamore then introduced Ash and his friends to her and finally pointed at Julian. Sycamore "I guess he doesn''t need any introduction" Sycamore said. Diantha got curious and looks at the person in the mask. Julian removes his masks and smiles at her. Julian "We meet again Miss Diantha" He said while keeping the smile. Diantha is shocked by seeing Julian in person and she tried her best to hide her excitement, she didn''t want to lose her image in front of Sycamore, Ash, and his friends. Diantha "Mr. Julian, yes, it finally nice to meet you again, Chole told me that you are in Kalos, too bad I was very busy toe and visit you" She said and smiled back. Julian "No need for you toe and visit me, you are a Champion and an actress, you are already very busy" Julian said. Diantha "Thank you for understanding" She said and smiled. Chapter 1006 - Dianthas Welcome Diantha didn''t make their wait outside and called them inside her room, once they were inside Ash and his friends were finally able to see Diantha''s Gardevoir, they were in awe as to how beautiful it really looked in real life. Professor Sycamore continued his talk with Diantha and asked her if she could give him her Key-Stone, Sycamore believed there is more to Key Stones than one gives it credit. ?? He believes that Key-Stone ys a more important role than a Mega Stone, without the Key-Stone Pokemons don''t seem to have any control, and the pokemons that were forcefully Mega Evolved without the help of Key-Stones were fully out of control with no rational thinking, the Mega Evolved pokemons were so barbaric in nature that they even took a bite out of their own flesh. Mega Evolving pokemons is possible without a Key-Stone but the oue has always been aplete failure, pokemons get very barbaric in nature and can kill anything on sight. The pokemons that do evolve with the help of Keystones are less violent in nature, the only Mega Pokemons that were fully under control were the ones that were very close to their trainers. Sycamore believed that Key-Stones somehow help the pokemons able to control the massive energy that is inserted into their body and with help of good trainers, it amplifies the effect. But he was not sure, he wondered if the Key-Stones that these trainers have might be different from the ones he has seen before. That is why he wants to study Diantha''s Key-Stone, she has shown to have an exceptional bond with her Gardevoir, greater than any other trainer. Diantha "I would like to help Professor Sycamore in your research but I can never part with my Key-Stone, this stone is the symbol of the bond between me and my Gardevoir, I cannot hand it over no matter the situation" Sycamore "I understand, but is there any way you couldpromise?" He asked. Diantha "No I cannot, but maybe when I visit Lumiose city, I can give you a visit and we can discuss there" She said. Sycamore "That works as well" Sycamore said and he was quite happy, if Diantha cannot give her Key-Stone to him, he can at least study it in Diantha''s presence. "No can''t do, Miss Diantha, your schedule is very busy, we don''t have time to visit Professor Sycamore''sb" Her assistant suddenly reminded Diantha that she is not free, hearing this Sycamore lost hope again. Diantha "Oh! It looks like I cannot help you Professor Sycamore" She said in an apologetic voice. Sycamore "Well we can''t do anything about it" He said and gave up. Diantha "Well I have to get ready for my battle, I hope all of you stay behind and have a look at it, I will be leaving then" Diantha said and left with her assistant before nodding at Julian onest time. Since the group had nothing else to do, they made their way to the stadium as well to watch Diantha battle the trainer called Magnus. Julian brought the group to the VIP lounge as he felt it would be rude of him to separate with them and enjoy the battle in the VIP lounge and then get back together with the group after the battle ends. Ash and his friends were shocked as they entered the VIP lounge, they didn''t expect a massive room decorated beautifully inside the stadium, since they have never been in one of these luxury lounges so it is a new experience for them. The group quickly found themselves a ce to sit as the battle is about to start, Julian also sat down and watched as the trainers entered the battlefield while the crowd cheered loudly. The first trainer to enter was Magnus, a tall young man with quite a well-built frame, he wore an orange jacket, a dark blue t-shirt under it, blue pants, and ck boots. As soon as he entered the crowd started to cheer louder, it was expected as he is from this town and many people in this town admire him and young trainers want to be like him. Once he entered the battlefield and took his position, it was time for Diantha to enter as well, even before she entered the battlefield, the crowd was already getting wild and restless. As soon as they saw the silhouette of Diantha they started to scream out of their lungs and weed her, as Diantha entered their vision they went crazy. Julian for once was surprised, these people were even crazierpared to the ones when he entered a battlefield before, he knew Diantha is one of the most famous champions but this was crazy, but he expected nothing less, she is not only a champion of a region but a world-famous actress. She has more fans than Julian all over the world, she might just be the most famous champion of them all. Yes pokemon battles are very popr but movies are even more popr, this is the only field where Diantha outshined him, Julian knew how crazy his own fans are, he wondered what would happen if he had an even bigger fan base just like Diantha. The crowd didn''t quiet down out all, the echoes of Diantha''s name rang all across the battlefield and all over the town. Chapter 1007 - Diantha Vs Magnus Once both Diantha and Magnus were ready, the referee stepped in and started to exin the rules of the battle, this was a one vs one pokemon battle and not an official one and just an exhibition so the losses will not be added to their record. With both trainers ready, the referee asked them to send out their pokemons, Diantha went first and sent out her Gardevoir into the battlefield, Magnus didn''t make the crowd wait and sent out his Absol as well. ?? The referee soon called out and began the battle. Magnus went straight to attacking. Magnus "Absol, use Bite!" Magnusmanded and his Absol rushed towards Gardevoir and tried to m a massive dark jaw made of energy on Gardevoir. As Absol was about to shut its jaw on Gardevoir, Gardevoir just moved to the side gracefully and moved out of harm''s way. Magnus didn''t stop and continued with his offense. Magnus "Use Night sh" Absol charged at Gardevoir again but Gardevoir once again dodged the attack with grace, while others didn''t notice anything special, Julian did and he was surprised. Julian ''No wonder Professor Sycamore said her bond with Gardevoir is very powerful, they understand each other just through their eyes'' Julian noticed that Diantha didn''t even need to speak, she could justmand her Gardevoir with her eyes, it was not telepathy, it was just that they both understood each other perfectly. Building such a strong bond is not easy, even Julian doesn''t have this kind of strong bond with all his pokemons, there are only a few, and them being, Infernape, Gengar, and Crystal. These three are the only ones that can understand Julian without him even saying a word to them, though his other pokemons have a very strong bond with him, none of theme close to these three. Julian was impressed, at first Julian categorized Diantha as any other champion he faced, but now he put her on top of his list, just below Cynthia, a trainer with such a strong connection with their pokemon is not easy to beat, no matter how strong a trainer is. Julian then smiled and watched with interest, now he was d that he stayed behind to watch this battle. The battle continued and Magnus''s Absol failed tond even one good hit on Gardevoir, it looked like Gardevoir is a bullfighter and Absol is an angry bull. Magnus "Use Night sh again!" Magnus shouted again. Absol charged at Gardevoir full speed. Diantha "Use Moonst" Diantha opened her mouth for the first time, Gardevoir suddenly lifted its arms and created a pink ball of energy between its hand, and threw it at the iing Absol with full speed. The Moonst touched the glowing Night sh and exploded sending Absol rolling on the ground, Absol struggled to get back to its feet, just that one move was able to render it in such a bad shape. Magnus knew that he cannot continue like this so he decided to use his ace and takedown Diantha''s pokemon with his. Magnus "Use Perish Song" Perish Song is a sure knockout move, once a pokemon listens to this song, it gets knocked out after a minute or two. Absol released a weird sound out of its mouth and there was no escaping it, one cannot escape Perish Song unless the pokemon is deaf. Diantha didn''t waste her time once Perish Song was in y, Julian already knew this battle was over, Magnus could have dragged this battle a little longer if he had not used Perish Son but now he forced Diantha into a corner forcing her to make a move. Diantha "Let''s finish it, Moonst" Gardevoir suddenly shot towards Absol at extreme speed, Magnus and Absol couldn''t even process as they saw Gardevoir appear right in front of Absol and used Moonst at point-nk range with just one hand pressing down on Absol''s head. The Moonst exploded as soon as it was formed and sent Absol shooting through the air, it then crashed hard on the ground and continued to roll back and finally stop right in front of Magnus''s feet. The referee looked at Absol and quickly called out the result. Referee "Absol is unable to battle, Gardevoir wins, the winner of this battle is Champion Diantha" It was apletely one-sided win from Diantha''s side, she didn''t go easy on Magnus at all, well she shouldn''t, he is the champion of the previous league, he needs to be better at what he does. Julian was impressed, the way Gardevoir moved reminded him of his own Gardevoir, she is also very graceful and powerful. The crowd went wild as they saw the knockout, even Ash and his friends were very excited after witnessing the knockout, seeing the battle Ash wanted to battle Diantha and got all excited imagining it. Back on the battlefield Magnus shook his hand with Diantha and excepted his defeat while the crowd cheered, the battle was done and soon people started to walk out of the stadium, Julian, Ash, and the group also did the same as they walked out of the VIP lounge and headed out. Chapter 1008 - Zygarde Cells Julian, Professor Sycamore, Ash, and his friends made their way out of the VIP lounge and headed towards the stadium''s exit where they saw a massive crowd swarming around the exit. They all wanted to get a chance to see Diantha onest time before she leaves, Julian looked at the crowd and just shook his head, he couldn''t understand these people at all, he had the same thought process in his past life as well, he never got why people idolized others. ?? He never idolized anyone his entire past life, and the reason was because of the cruel environment that he lived in and once he got out of the shithole, he was too old to idolize anyone. Soon Diantha''s assistant stepped up to the crowd and told them that Diantha has already left for shooting and they won''t be able to see her, the crowd was disappointed and left whileining to themselves. Ash and his friends also bid their farewell as they wanted to try one of those delicious cakes that could be found in the town, once Julian watched Ash and his friend leave, he looked at Professor Sycamore. Julian "Professor Sycamore, let''s go somewhere private and talk" Sycamore "Sure, let''s go" Sycamore said and guided Julian to his own private quarters here in the town, once they were in Julian sat down and Sycamore gave him a cup of coffee to drink and sat down as well. Sycamore "So what''s this thing you wanted to talk about?" He asked and took a seat as well. Julian took out a Pokeball and released the weird-looking cell on the table for Sycamore to see, as soon as Sycamoreid his eyes on the squishy green-looking thing, his eyes popped wide open in shock. He is clearly stunned by what he is seeing, seeing his reaction Julian understood that he found something very rare for even Sycamore. Julian "Do you know what this is?" He asked. Sycamore "I can''t believe I am seeing this!" He eximed and got close to the cell which suddenly panicked and turned on its camouge and disappeared right in front of Sycamore. Sycamore "Where did it go?" He asked and started to search for it everywhere by turning his head left and right. Julian "It''s right here, don''t worry" Julian said and picked up the cell from the table and ced it on top of his hand, it reappeared on his hand and Sycamore was able to see it again. Sycamore "Where did you find it?" He asked. Julian "In a forest close to Camphrier town, some goons called Team re were trying to find it as well, do you know what this is?" He asked again. Sycamore "At first I believed it to be a myth but now I am certain, this is a Zygarde cell" He said with a very serious face. Julian "Zygarde cell?" Sycamore "Yes Zygarde cell, Zygarde is a legendary pokemon talked about in myths that see over Kalos and keep the ecosystem in check. If someone or something tries to disrupt the ecosystem, it is said to appear and destroy it. I thought it was all a myth, just a hoax created by the people in the past to prevent people from destroying their own world but it doesn''t seem like a hoax at all" Sycamore said, still fascinated by the single cell in front of him. Julian "A part of a legendary pokemon huh? Interesting" Julian said with a smile and looked at the t cell whichid effortlessly on his palm. Julian "Do you know anything else about this thing?" Julian asked. Sycamore "From what I have read, this one just seems to be a cell, not a core" Julian "How are they different?" Sycamore "If I remember correctly, Zygarde has many different cells of which five are core cells which should act as the brain of the pokemon, and the rest will transform into its body" Julian "I see, anything else?" Sycamore "No, I don''t have anything else on Zygarde, the information I havee from stories written about Zygarde, there have never been any Zygarde sightings nor have people found any writings about it in ancient monuments or artifacts. Just words passed down from generation, that is why I always believed it to be a myth and nothing else, but this thing on top of your hand is exactly like the Zygarde cells described in those stories" Sycamore said. Julian "These stories, where can I find them?" Sycamore "You can find many copies of it online" Julian "Thankyou" Julian thanked him, now he knows a little more about this little thing. Sycamore "By the way, I can keep this one under observation, maybe I can learn more about it" Sycamore said. Hearing him, Julian pondered over this, if he gives this cell to Sycamore, he might be able to find a few things about it but it could also lead to disaster. If Team re was about to track it down in a forest, what is stopping them from finding it in Sycamore''sb? This will put him and anyone around him in danger and he still doesn''t know to what extent this cell can cause harm. Julian "Sorry but I cannot do that, its best to keep this one under my care, as I said some people are looking for it and it can be very dangerous, it''s safer in my hands" Julian said. Sycamore "I understand" Julian "By the way, do you know anything about Team re?" Julian asked. Sycamore "I do not, I mostly spend my time inside byb studying and researching, maybe you should ask an official at the police station, they might be able to tell you something about them" He suggested. Julian "Good idea" Julian agreed as well, he sent the Zygarde cell back to the Pokeball and put it away for now. Chapter 1009 - Ash Vs Diantha They were done with their talking and have nothing to do here. Sycamore "Mr. Julian why don''t you join me and go eat some deserts that can be found here in Brackish town" ?? Sycamore suggested, everyone knows about the delicious cakes that can be found here so it was not a surprise to Julian when Sycamore suggested, Sycamore got busy as soon as he arrived here so he had no chance to taste them before but now things have been dealt with, he can finally go around and enjoy his time in the town. Julian "Sure, let''s go" Julian agreed as he didn''t want to reject this invitation, he is never going to say no to those delicious cakes. Sycamore and Julian soon headed out into the town, Sycamore brought him towards a certain district saying that this ce has the best one of them all. When Julian and Sycamore got there, they were surprised to see Diantha along with Ash and his friends, Julian then heard Diantha excepting Ash''s challenge, he then followed Sycamore and approached the group. Sycamore "My, my, a battle with the champion, do you guys mind if Ie along and take a look?" Sycamore asked. Hepletely forgot about eating cake and focused on the battle that is about to happen. Julian "Bu-" Diantha "Sure" Before Julian could say anything Diantha agreed and he couldn''t do anything but sigh. Diantha noticed Julian as well, this time she identified Julian even though he was behind his mask and asked him to join as well. He agreed and decided to watch this battle and see how it goes. Julian then followed the group as they soon found an open space close to the town, both Diantha and Ash took their position on the field, Ash''s friend Clemont stood in the middle and decided to referee the battle. The battle started, Diantha used her Gardevoir and Ash sent out his Pikachu into the battlefield. The battle started and Ash went for the attack. Ash "Use Iron Tail" Pikachu rushed towards Gardevoir with exceptional speed, seeing this Diantha was surprised. Diantha ''Pikachu is fast'' She thought as she watched Pikachu get very close to her Gardevoir while swinging his powerful tail at it. Gardevoir moved to the side, sessfully dodging Pikachu''s attempt. Ash "Use Quick Attack" As soon as Pikachu''s feet touch the ground again, he shot towards Gardevoir with speed beyond Diantha''s expectation. Diantha "Use Protect" Diantha quickly set up a Protect because she knew her Gardevoir won''t be able to dodge this one, a shield of energy formed right in front of Gardevoir and protected it from Pikachu''s Quick Attack. Pikachu''s head hit the force field and he bounced back. Diantha "Now use Shadow Ball" Diantha saw her chance and called for a Shadow Ball. Ash "Electro Ball" Pikachu bounced back andnded on the ground and jumped as soon as he heard Ash, as he jumped he used Electro Ball and countered the Shadow Ball, the two moves collided and created a powerful shockwave to travel across the field. Diantha used this chance to attack again. Diantha "Use Moon st" Ash "Counter with Iron Tail" Gardevoir sted a powerful Moon st at Pikachu while Pikachu jumped and swung his tail at the iing Moon st. Pikachu''s Iron Tail came in contact with the Moon st and split the Moon st into two, the two parts of the Moon st hit the trees in the background and destroyed it. Diantha "Now!" She finally got the opening she needed, while Pikachu was still in the air, Gardevoir suddenly appeared right in front of Pikachu and used a Moon st at point-nk range. Ash "Thunderbolt" Ash called for a counter knowing that there is no way out of this. Both moves came in contact with each other as soon as they were released, the powerful explosion sent Gardevoir flying backward while Pikachu shot through the air, seeing this Ash rushed towards Pikachu to grab it. He sessfully grabbed Pikachu but both of them when crashing against a tree, Gardevoir seems to be fazed a little but she clearly won that exchange. Julian who was watching this knew that Ash won''t win this battle but he did a good job keeping it up with Diantha. Ash got up with his Pikachu in hand. Ash "The battle just got started" He imed and was about to get back into the battle when a metal square box came out of nowhere and suddenly trapped Gardevoir, it surrounded Gardevoir inside an energy forcefield and carried it up in the air. The forcefield then connected to a hot air balloon, everyone looked up seeing what just happened. Julian was already looked at the Meowth-shaped hot air balloon and just sighed, Julian couldn''t understand how are these three idiots so persistent. Time after time, they were defeated, humiliated, sent flying after every confrontation but they keeping back, even god would have given up after so many failures but these three didn''t. He decided to just let it y out because he knows how things will end up, these three will lose badly. The three suddenly started to introduce them with their signature poetry, Julian was once again impressed by how they could find so many different ways to introduce themselves every time. Ash "Team Rocket" Ash eximed. Diantha "Who are you guys?" She asked as she was shocked by the current situation. Serena "Its team rocket, they go around stealing other people pokemons" Diantha "Stealing other people''s pokemon, that''s despicable" Bonnie "Yes, they are really bad" Team Rocket justughed at theirments. Diantha "Gardevoir, use Shadow Ball" Diantha said. Gardevoir used Shadow Ball but it seems to be of no use as the forcefield that it was trapped inside is quite strong, this impressed Julian once again as he wondered where does Team Rocket gets all this money from, even after so many failures, how do they still get paid? Chapter 1010 - Another Failure Julian ''Technology hase too far.'' Julian thought as he looked at the energy square cage that has trapped Diantha''s Gardevoir inside it, even a Champion level pokemon can be trapped inside one of these traps. ?? Julian watched as the Meowth balloon flew away and the group started to chase after it. Julian [Gengar, follow that balloon, take action only if things get dire] Julian sent a mental message to Gengar and asked him to follow the balloon, he then joined the group in search of Diantha''s Gardevoir. After a few minutes of running behind the balloon, the group finally loses sight of it and finally stops exhausted, Julian followed them till now wondering what will happen. Gengar is his fail-safe so there is nothing to worry about. Sycamore "Miss Diantha, how do we find your Gardevoir?" He asked as they couldn''t find any trail left behind by Team Rocket. Diantha "Don''t worry, I know where Gardevoir is" She said and grabbed hold of her locket which held her Mega Stone in ce. Sycamore "Do you know where to find Gardevoir?" Sycamore asked in surprise, he didn''t know how Diantha will be able to find Gardevoir. Diantha "Yes, this happened to me once before, during a shoot, I was separated from Gardevoir and my team but somehow I was able to connect with Gardevoir through this Mega Stone, I could feel Gardevoir calling to me, I followed Gardevoir''s call and soon found my whole team" Diantha exined. Sycamore "Fascinating!" Sycamore eximed as he listened to Diantha''s exnation. Even Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t expect Mega Stones could do this as well, even Ash and his friends were surprised by this. Ash "My be it''s because Diantha''s and Gardevoir''s hearts are connected" Ashmented. Sycamore "That is a possibility, with the trust that Diantha and Gardevoir have, it must be the reason why you are able tomunicate with Gardevoir" Sycamore exined. Julian ''Hmm, that is possible but there should be more to this'' Julian thought but kept the thought to himself, he then watched Diantha close her eyes and hold her Mega Stone tightly, soon the Mega Stone started to glow inside her hand and light seeped out from between her fingers. She then suddenly opened her eyes and looked in a certain direction. Diantha "Follow me!" She said and rushed towards the direction she was looking at, Sycamore, Ash and his friends followed right behind her and so did Julian. After a few minutes of running, they finally arrived at their destination, Julian saw the massive Meowth hot air balloon, and right beside it was the trapped Gardevoir, the team rocket idiots wereughing as they celebrated their so-called perfect theft. Their celebration was soon put to an end as they noticed Diantha, Ash and the group appear in front of them, they were shocked by how Ash and the group found them. Jessie "How did they find us?" She asked with a shocked face. James "Well, it doesn''t matter, let''s get out of here" Meowth "Ya, let''s do that" Ash "Not so fast, return Gardevoir right now" Ash imed. Jessie "Not under my watch" She said and sent out her pokemon to battle and so did James, Ash was about to step in and battle them but Diantha stopped him and walked forward. Diantha "Let me deal with this" She said and looked directly at Team Rocket. Diantha "Let me show you what I and my Gardevoir can do, let me show you the power of a Champion" She dered and looked at Gardevoir who is still trapped inside the energy cage, both Gardevoir and Diantha came to an understanding, Diantha suddenly used her Key-Stone which started to glow and the Mega Stone around Gardevoir''s neck responded to it. Suddenly the change started to take ce and Gardevoir Mega Evolved, it then unleashed multiple shadow balls within a second and destroyed the energy cage surrounding it, it didn''t even make an effort to do so. Julian was once again impressed, this Mega Evolution was quite strong, he could see that Gardevoir''s power rose extremely high. Once it escaped out of the cage, it then used Moon st and sent Team Rocket flying through the air and disappeared from everyone''s sight, it just ended as Julian expected, as always the trio failed. Julian [You can return] Julian advises Gengar. Gengar who was hiding in Gardevoir''s shadow went back into Julian''s. Gardevoir hadn''t noticed Gengar''s presence before but as soon as Gengar entered Julian''s, for a brief second it noticed Gengar and was in shock. Mega Gardevoir looked at Julian''s shadow with weary eyes, if it hadn''t Mega Evolved, it would have never noticed Gengar at all, seeing Gardevoir''s reaction Diantha also felt something. It was as if they were really connected, she also looked at Julian''s shadow and she could see two eyes staring back at them with a grin right below the eyes, both Gardevoir and Diantha shuddered as they felt those eyes on them. Diantha ''Of course, he would be prepared for a situation like this, he took action before things even got worse'' Diantha knew it was Julian''s Gengar, she realized that Julian had already sent his Gengar to follow the hot air balloon before they could even think of a way to track down team rocket. Diantha couldn''t help but admire Julian in her heart. Chapter 1011 - Geosenge Town Now that Diantha reunited with her Gardevoir, Julian and the rest of the group then returned back to the town, Julian separated from the group and went back to his hotel room, and started to pack his stuff. He spent too many days in this town and now it is time for him to leave and head towards Shalour city where he will be facing his next gym leader. ? ? After he was done with his preparation, he left the town and made his way towards Geosenge town whiches right after. After a few days of travel, he arrived at the border of Geosenge town, when he got there he was surprised by what he saw, he saw tombstones after tombstones near the town but it didn''t end, the further he went towards the town, the more tombstones he saw. It was as if the whole town was a massive graveyard. When he finally arrived in the city, his mood was a little bad right now, after seeing so many graveyards and tombstones, he felt gloomy, how many people have died here? He wondered. As he entered the town, he noticed that the people living here are all normal people living ordinary lives, this town was also no different from its surroundings but the whole town was not filled with tombstones, there were many but graveyards were not close to the residential area. The town was not just tombstones there were also massive natural rocks, after looking around the town, he found himself a hotel to rest for the day, he was mentally tired to continue on his journey. He slept inside his hotel room the whole day, next day when he woke up refreshed he noticed something he didn''t notice before, a very powerful aura was present in this town. After sensing it, Julian frowned, he was so distracted by seeing so many tombstones yesterday, he didn''t care about anything but now he could feel it, a very powerful aura in this town. He washed up and had his breakfast, fed his pokemon, and walked out of his hotel to find the pokemon who was releasing this powerful aura. He looked around the town and asked the people about the history of this town and why are there so many tombstones around the town and when he got the answer, he was stunned. Those graves are not of people but of pokemons that were sacrificed 3000 years ago by the king to power this so-called ultimate weapon by those pokemons'' life force to put an end to the war. Julian couldn''t help but sigh as he heard about this legend, so many lives were sacrificed just to put an end to the war, this made Julian remember his own war days where millions of people died, innocent and poor were dragged into it and suffered. He then continued to learn more about this war that happened 3000 years ago, the people of the town couldn''t give him an urate history so he had to find the library, even the inte was filled with different versions of the story. Julian knew that he can only find urate information in old books that might be in the town''s library. As for the aura that he is sensing, he cannot pinpoint its location at all, it was as if the whole town itself is one big pokemon and he is standing on it right now, for now, he decided to look into the history properly and see if there is anything mentioned about this ultimate weapon anywhere in the old books that might be in the library. He soon made his way towards the town center where the library is, when he got there he was surprised by how empty it really was, the stairs in front of it were dusty, the walls were cracked, weeds were growing out of the cracks. One could clearly tell that the library has been abandoned by the people of this town, no one came here to read books, and even if someone did, they might be the only one to do so for the day. Julian entered the library and saw an old man dozing off on his desk, the old man seems to be the librarian, Julian walked towards him and knocked lightly on the table to wake the old man us. Hearing the knock, the old man suddenly snapped out of his sleep and looked around in confusion while mumbling something, he then lifted his head and looked at the young man in front of him. Librarian "A visitor, that''s rare" He said and rubbed his eye before grabbing onto his sses which were handing around his neck and wore them, he then got a clear view of Julian, since Julian is still wearing his mask the old man couldn''t see his face. Julian "Yes, is the library always this empty?" Julian asked. Librarian "Indeed, young people don''t use books these days, they have that thing called the inte, and the old people are too old and have already read what they wanted to read, now visitors are very rare" The Librarian said. Julian "I understand" Librarian "So what do you want kid?" The Librarian asked. Julian "I wanted to learn about the war that happened 3000 years ago, where do I find books rted to it?" Librarian "Oh, you can find the books at the back, be sure to dust them off before opening them, they have not been touched for years now" Librarian said. Julian nodded and headed to the back of the library where he finally found what he was looking for. Chapter 1012 - The Ultimate Weapon Julian saw a bunch of books rted to the war that took ce 3000 years ago in Kalos, he picked up a few books that seem to be genuine and started to go through them after an hour of reading and cross-referencing all those books he was finally able to understand more about the war that took ce. He was quite surprised after actually learning the history. When he thought about the war that happened 3000 years he thought that only Kalos was involved in it but he waspletely wrong, the war was actually between Kalos and Gr. ?? The two regions were actually under one massive rule of an unknown kingdom but this kingdom suddenly fell for some unknown reason and it was split into two factions, and now both this faction wanted to take over and rule both the regions but there could only be one. The war started but there seems to be no end to it, neither party had a disadvantage or advantage against the other which caused the war to drag itself even further, it ruined the lives of people living in both regions, countless lives of people, and pokemon were sacrificed for nothing. And as the war continued, the turning point of war took ce, the pokemon that belonged to the king of Kalos at that time, Floette died as it was taken away by the soldiers of the other region and it became another useless sacrifice of this cruel war, this made the king turn into a man filled with grief and he created a device which could bring his beloved Floette back to life and he seeded. His Floette came back to life but he was not done, he didn''t want his Floette to die again and he knew that if this cruel war continues it might happen again so he converted the life-giving device of his to the Ultimate weapon, he wanted to take revenge on people who killed his Floette. With the help of the Ultimate Weapon, AZ put an end to the war by killing thousands and thousands of people and pokemon from both sides but when Floette realized that thousands and thousands of lives were taken away by AZ just for its sake, Floette left AZ disgusted by his actions. Realizing his mistake, AZ abandoned his crown and disappeared, and started to roam the world in search of his Floette and it is believed he is searching for it to this day, it was believed that Ultimate Weapon turned him into an Immortal. The ultimate weapon was then buried by AZ''s brother somewhere deep underground so that it won''t be ever used again. After he was done reading it, Julian was surprised he didn''t expect AZ to take such a drastic measure but what surprised Julian, even more, was AZ bing an Immortal, he wondered if this is true or not. If it is, the weapon he created is beyond logic, all this power in the hands of a mortal is dangerous. He closed all the books and put them back into their ces and walked out of the library before bidding farewell to the old librarian and went back into the town, Julian is hundred percent sure that the ultimate weapon was under Geosenge town, at first he believed it to be some kind of pokemon. But now he believes that the energy he is sensing ising from the Ultimate Weapon, Julian then started his search, he called out Infernape and Gengar, Gengar could already sense the powerful aura radiating from this town and Infernape could also sense it from inside his Pokeball. Julian "Let''s split and find the power source" Julian said, both Infernape and Gengar nodded disappearing from his sight, he used Infernape and Gengar because they are the only ones who could handle such powerful aura, though his Kyurem and Darmanitan are strong they are no way near the level where they could handle the full burst of the Ultimate Weapon. If the weapon can really do what was stated in the books, Julian would like to be very careful, that is why he kept Snox with him as well, he wanted to check this ultimate weapon, see if there is anything fishy going on. With his past experience, Julian knows if a weapon like this exists, some people might know about it and if they know about it, some of them might want to use it. Julian continued to search for the power source and it was hard, but he was in luck, Infernape suddenly contacted him through his mind, it looks like he found it, Julian headed towards the direction to where Infernape is right now. Julian arrived right at the very center of the town, he saw both Infernape and Gengar standing there waiting for him, Julian looked at the three massive rocks in the middle of the town, Julian had seen this before but he didn''t think much of it because there are many rocks exactly like this all across the town. Julian "Right down here?" Julian asked while standing in the middle of the three massive rocks, to which both Infernape and Gengar nodded their head. Julian "Fine, let''s go in. Gengar!" Julian said and looked at Gengar, Gengar suddenly opened his dimension and engulfed both Julian and Infernape into it, he then phased right into the ground and started to head deep into the ground. After some time Gengar seems to have found what he was looking for, he opened his dimension again and both Julian and Infernape walked out of them and looked at the massive structure in front of them. Julian "Impressive!" Chapter 1013 - The Massive Man Julian "Impressive!" Julian eximed as he looked at the massive structure in front of him, it looked like a closed stone flower, Julian looked around and noticed that the area around here is pretty hollow, the whole area was just a big empty dome containing this ultimate weapon. ?? Julian got closer and took a better look at the ultimate weapon and suddenly realized something, the leaf part of the weapon seems to be made of some kind of meteor and Julian realized that it was the same meteor that brought the Mega Stones. Julian ''This man just created a weapon made from a meteor containing Mega Stones'' Julian thought as he tried to process the thought. Julian ''No wonder why it caused such massive destruction Julian thought and got closer, both Gengar and Infernape were vignt, they could tell that this weapon is dangerous, when Julian got close to the weapon and looked through the petals to look at what''s inside, he was shocked once again. He could, of course, see the core of the weapon but besides the core, he also sees something he didn''t expect to see. He saw a massive red glowing cocoon inside the weapon, the cocoon was pulsing, once he saw this he knew what was inside this cocoon, it belongs to the legendary pokemon Yveltal, he knows about the legend of Yveltal. When Yveltales to the end of its life, it absorbs the life force of all the pokemon around it and turns itself into a cocoon, and goes into a slumber. He never expected to encounter a legendary pokemon of Kalos right here, he looked at Infernape and Gengar and noticed that even they noticed the slumbering pokemon as well, luckily for Julian he has nothing to worry about. Yveltal seems to be still inside its cocoon and even if it wakes up, it will still be able to live for a lot longer before absorbing all the life force around it. Now that Julian thinks about it, the Ultimate Weapon and Yveltal have the same power, to absorb the life force of other people and pokemon and turn it into their own. Julian ''Did AZ use Yveltal to power up the Ultimate Weapon?'' Julian questioned and after thinking about it, the possibility of doing something like that is not impossible and quite practical, to power such a powerful weapon, Yveltal seems to be the perfect power source. Julian ''There seems to be no fishy thing going around here, for now, that is, if people find Yveltal things can go bad'' Julian thought. A legendary pokemon is dangerous but a legendary pokemon that can absorb life force itself is even more dangerous and paired with the Ultimate weapon, it''s a disaster waiting to happen. Julian ''Let''s get out from here now'' He thought and looked at Gengar and told him to get them out of here, Gengar nodded and opened his dimension and sent Julian and Infernape inside it, once they were inside Gengar floated up and phased through the ceiling and arrived on the ground. As Julian and Infernape walked out of the dimension and looked at the three rocks in the middle of the town, Julian noticed something was standing right behind him, he turned around and noticed a massive man towering over him. The man is wearing ragged dirty clothes with long white hair and a cap over his head but the most surprising thing about him is that he is over three meters tall. Julian ''How could a man be so tall?'' Julian couldn''t help but look up at the man to see his face, this was quite a day, Julian is experiencing one surprising thing after another without a break. "Why did you go in?" The man said with a very deep voice. Hearing his question Julian realized that this massive man knows about the Ultimate Weapon. Julian "What is it to you?" Julian asked. "Hmph" The man hmphed and grabbed Julian''s shoulder and tried to put down a lot of pressure on him, Julian could feel the power behind the man, with his massive size came superhuman strength. But this didn''t affect Julian, he was a lot stronger than the massive man, Julian just grabbed the man''s wrist and turned it and pushed it away, the man was surprised by seeing this, he didn''t expect to get overpowered by a small human. Julian looked at the massive man and suddenly realized something, he had just read about this man in the library, a man who got exposed to the energy from the Ultimate Weapon and became immortal. Julian "You are AZ" Julian said while looked at the shocked man. AZ "How?" He asked surprised. Julian "Too big of a man, overwhelming strength, who else could you be, other than the man who became exposed to the energy released by your own creation" Julian said with a smile. AZ "And what are you?" AZ asked. To this day he has never met anyone stronger than him but now there is a human who is smaller than him but still more powerful, this waspletely new to him over his lifespan of 3000+ years. Chapter 1014 - Reflection Cave AZ still couldn''t believe that there is a human who is smaller but stronger than him, even after roaming this world for three thousand years he has never found anyone like this man in front of him, during these three thousand years, he didn''t age at all and he continued to grow stronger. But still, even after all that, he still found a human stronger than him, he wondered who this person is. ?? Julian "I am Julian a traveling trainer, I just happened toe across the thing you build so I took a look" Julian said. AZ "That thing is not for the public to view, stay away from it" He dered with authority filled in his voice. Julian "And make sure it stays that way, I encountered some bunch of troublesome people snooping around trying to find things that they shouldn''t, you and I both know that thing underground is nothing but a bad omen. I will be leaving then" Julian said and turned his back on AZ and walked away, he had nothing to do here, he was surprised by AZ but he didn''t care much about him or curious about his immortality, he already figured it out, being exposed to such powerful energy would have some effects and in AZ''s case, he might have gotten a very long life span. Julian didn''t believe AZ to be immortal, as the amount of energy that Ultimate Weapon absorbed was not limitless, it wille to an end one day and AZ will return back to earth. AZ just watched Julian''s back as he felt that the man was dangerous but for now AZ knows that Julian is no threat, he also kept Julian''s advice in mind, about the people who are snooping around. AZ believes that he knows the people Julian is talking about as he has seen some shady people around Kalos trying to do something not right in his eyes. Julian returned to his hotel room and went back to training, he was done exploring for the day, now it is time to train his pokemon, the training was as hard as ever, Julian''s pokemon hated the hard work but they also loved the feeling of bing more powerful so they never stopped putting their everything into training. He spent the day training his pokemon, the next day he left the town as there was nothing else keeping him here, he hit the road again, his next stop will be Shalour city where he will have his third gym battle. Julian didn''t bother to catch any pokemon in this route because he didn''t find any pokemon that caught his attention, route 11 didn''t have any good pokemon species in his eyes, the only thing that was a little interesting to him is the reflection cave which he will have to use to get to Shalour city. After three days of traveling, Julian finally arrived at the reflection cave, of course, there is another path that goes around this cave so normal people travel from one city to another but most trainers preferred to use the cave as it was something differentpared to normal route. And adventurers liked rare things, Julian also wanted to see this famous cave that is made of a very special mineral that acts like mirrors. Julian walked into the cave and started to explore the cave, as he got a little deeper into the cave, he finally found the special mineral that looked like mirrors, these mirrors were everywhere reflecting light from one to another. Even though the cave had no light source inside it, it was still very bright due to all these mirror-like surfaces, Julian was fascinated and approached one of the mirror-like rocks and when he looked at the mirror he was surprised. Julian "What''s going on?" He asked himself as he looked at the mirror surface surprised, he couldn''t see his reflection on the mirror surface at all, he wondered why. He moved to another mirror surface and noticed the same thing, he couldn''t see himself in these mirrors at all, no matter where he stood. Julian ''System, do you know anything about this, why can''t I see my reflection on these mirrors?'' Julian asked system as he couldn''t figure it out himself. System ''This cave seems to be connected to the mirror dimension, one can use this cave to enter the mirror dimension'' Julian ''But what does it have to do with me not reflecting in the mirrors?'' System ''Because the host is a Singrity, the host cannot exist in two different dimensions or timeline at the same time, mirror dimension is a different dimension that ispletely opposite to the original dimension. But host being a singrity you do not have an opposite side to yourself, so a Julian who ispletely opposite to host doesn''t exist anywhere else, there is only one host'' The system answered. Hearing this Julian was shocked once again, just one of him, he cannot exist in two different dimensions and timelines at the same time? this all was new information to him and shocking. Julian ''But why?'' Julian asked. He wanted to know why God would make him a singrity. System ''Imagine having an infinite number of Julian simr to host, one that can control Omniforce itself, the Omniverse would turn into chaos'' System said Julian finally realized the severity of his existence, if an infinite number of Julian just like his powers existed, it would really be a catastrophe, he knows that not all Julian will be like him, some would be sadistic, some would be psychopaths, some would be pure evil and imagine these people having power simr to Julian''s. Right now Julian''s abilities are limited, if he could have full ess to his power, even Arceus might not be able to put a scratch on him, with Omniforce he could do anything he wanted to and with no limits. So being a singrity was a reasonable answer. Chapter 1015 - The Mirror World Now that Julian knew he cannot exist in two different dimensions and timelines at the same time, he was somewhat relieved, the less there are people like him the better. He also wondered what it is really like inside the mirror dimension so he approached the mirror and tried to touch it and as soon as he did, he felt his arms pass right through the mirror as if it didn''t exist at all. ?? This surprised Julian once again. Julian ''System, can you exin?'' Julian asked again. System ''Since the host is a singrity, he can enter any dimension with ease and won''t be repelled, since the mirror cave acts as a gateway to the mirror dimension, the host can use it whenever he wants'' The system replied to him, hearing the answer Julian got a little excited as he wanted to explore the mirror dimension so he stepped right into the mirror surface, even though the mirror was a solid object, Julian didn''t feel it at all, it was just like passing through a sheet of a bubble. When he arrived on the other side, Julian found himself inside the cave once again but he could see the difference, everything was opposite here than in the real world, objects that seem to be on right were on left and the ones on left were on right. Even the entrance was different, he walked out of the entrance and looked around, just like he had expected, everything was mirrored here, the first thing he did was head back to Geosenge town and check out a few things before he figures out what to do next. As he had expected the town was also very different, everything was opposite to what he experienced before in the real world, he needed to check something so he headed towards the library. It was still the same, an empty old library where no one bothered toe, Julian entered the library and noticed the old librarian but for some reason, this librarian felt different, he was ring at Julian. Librarian "What do you want?" The old librarian grumbled in a very rude tone, Julian was once again surprised by how the old man behaved, back in the real world the old man was quite polite and docile but this old man was rude and fierce in character. Julian "I just wanted to read some books" Julian answered. He didn''t want to start a fight with this old man right now. Librarian "Ha, nowadays, even chumps like these want to read books, whatever, I don''t want to be bothered" The old man was very rude but Julian didn''t mind and walked past the old man and picked up the same books about the 3000-year-old war, he sat down and opened the books and noticed that all words were mirrored as well, he had to read from right to left, instead of left to right and it was also a little hard to read it like that. But after a few minutes, Julian got the hang of it, once he was done reading, Julian realized that there was not much difference between the history of the mirror world and the real world, it was just that people had pr opposite personalities to their real-world counterpart. That didn''t mean they hated what they liked before, no they were still the same but how they acted was different, in the books he read that AZ was a coward king but in the real world he was a brave one but his reason to create the Ultimate Weapon was still the same, to revive his dead pokemon which he loved dearly. After rifying his suspicion Julian left the library, the old man was still grumpy as before so Julian didn''t bother to talk and just walked out, he looked around the town and noticed that everyone was different, the old woman at the flower shop who was very kind in the real world acted like a rude bitch. Everything was different, Julian made his way towards the hotel he stayed in, in the real world and suddenly realized something. If he uses his old id, they will not work in the mirror world, people of this world will think that his card has been printed wrong. He quickly took out his ids and noticed something strange, the words in his IDs were mirrored as well. Julian "Huh?" Julian didn''t expect the real-world items to alter in this world as well. System ''Items from the real world will be altered as soon as it enters the mirror world'' The System answered him. It did make sense, as he entered the mirror world, everything in his possession was mirrored as well, Julian entered the hotel room and booked a room for himself, unlike others the staff working in the hotel were still professional no matter how their character really was. But what waspletely new to Julian was that these people didn''t know who he was at all, they thought he was just some random trainer, in this mirror world, Julian didn''t exist, so there was no ''The Strongest Champion, Julian''. This waspletely new and Julian is not going to miss this opportunity, he decided to take advantage and explore this world even more. Chapter 1016 - Mirror World (2) After getting himself a room in the hotel, he got on top of his bed and opened hisptop, even the keys on hisptop were mirrored to which he is not surprised. The first thing he searched was about one of his fianc¨¦es, Cynthia. ?? He looked up Cynthia and found out more information about her in this world, just like the real world she is the champion but what surprised Julian was Cynthia didn''t have a major presence like the one in the real world. Julian noticed that mirror world''s Cynthia is very shy around people and was timid in nature but she still became a powerful champion, Julian never thought that a timid and shy Cynthia might be able to be a champion but here he was, wrong about his judgment. He then looked into Daisy and noticed that she became a Pokemon Groomer and quite famous as well, with Professor Oak''s influence behind her, she didn''t suffer many setbacks in her career at all. He then looked up about Chloe but to his surprise, he didn''t find anything about her, he wondered what the mirror-world version of Chloe is doing right now, Julian didn''t want to interfere with these people in this world because he needs to get back to his own world. And he might not be able to control himself in front of these three. He put away hisptop and headed out again of his hotel to check other stuff out, though he came to the mirror world, he soon realized he didn''t have many things to do here, as this world was the mirror image of the real world, the things that should have happened, Julian don''t know how but even without his existence massive viinous organization were taken down. The world was not in chaos, he looked at the sightings of legendary pokemon in the past and they seem to have appeared but they calmed down as well. There was no news about the Mewtwo event. Groudon and Kyogre came out of their slumber, forced by Team Magma and Team Aqua, and they fought. They even achieved their primal form but both of them were stopped by Mega Rayquaza. This all was documented As for the fight between Dialga and Palkia, it seems like everything was restored back to how it was after the city was damaged by them battling against each other. As for Giratina, there seems to be no sighting of Giratina at all, nobody seems to have noticed it but there was no catastrophe that took ce. As for the appearance of Reshiram and Zekrom, it was also very vague, the dark clouds appearing over Castelia city and thunderstorm appearing was reported, but there was never any mention of Zekrom. It seemed like Reshiram''s appearance was reported but it was very vague, they never exined how or why Reshiram appeared but it did go on a rampage but it stopped, and the reason? No one knows. Julian soon understood that this mirror world is not so urate after all, as Mirror World couldn''t replicate him, it created its own scenarios on how to handle these disasters without Julian''s existence. This was a wed mirror world, not original to the one Julian came from, the system had exined that every original world has its own mirror world and this mirror world is part of Julian''s real world. But the existence of a singrity like him affected the mirror world drastically though the results were still the same, everything calmed down and things turned out how they usually did. It looks like even with the existence of a Singrity, it cannot affect the mirror dimension to a full extent, well Julian could understand this, it was not just this world, this mirror dimension not only mirrors the world but the whole endless universe and topletely alter the mirror dimension at such scale, one needs to be omnipotent. With nothing so different about this world other than the catastrophe which could have happened, yed out a little different from the original world. Julian decided to return back to his original world, he learned what he needed and he didn''t want to mess around this mirror world because he doesn''t know much about it, and even if he did know, he is not strong enough to handle things at the cosmic level yet. He headed back to the Reflection Cave and put his hand through the mirror surface, it was the same feeling as before, he passed through it as if there was nothing present there, he arrived back in his original world. He could tell because everything was how he had seen it before, he took out his IDs and checked them to see if they are back to their original self and they were. He was happy with his discovery. Julian then continued walking through the cave, and these few hours that he spent inside the cave were very annoying, Woobats were everywhere being very annoying, Julian didn''t want to scare them away because he knew there are other people inside the cave as well. If he scares them away, it might cause chaos so he had to stop himself from telling Gengar to chase the annoying Woobats, he also encountered a pokemon called Carbink. Julian was a little interested in this pokemon, but he decided not to catch it. Carbinks have very powerful defense and special defense, not just powerful but absurd defense in both areas but its attacks suck, Julian could work on it and improve it a little but Julian didn''t want to, he didn''t want to work on things that won''t increase much no matter how much he trained it. Once he was out of the cave, he got back on his bike and headed towards Shalour City. Chapter 1017 - Shalour City After riding for two days, Julian finally saw the outskirts of Shalour city, he could see a massive city right in the middle surrounded by a massive body of water, the only way to enter the city is through the bridge that connects the city to route 11. Julian didn''t think much and rode through the bridge and entered Shalour city, it was alreadyte night so he got himself a hotel room, fed his pokemon, and went to sleep. ?? The next morning, as soon as he woke up, he cleaned himself up, fed his pokemons, and opened hisptop to check on the Shalour city gym leader to see how good this gym leader is. He noticed that the gym leader of this gym has changed recently, the gym leader who retired is called Grukinn, an old man who just retired, Julian was surprised to see that he was also part of Kalos''s Elite Four back in the past, he then gave up his position and became the gym leader of Shalour city gym. And now he finally decided to retire because of his old age, and the one who took his ce as the current gym leader is his granddaughter named Korrina. He looked up Korrina and noticed that she is just 16 years old, Julian is not surprised by this but it is very rare for such a young person to take over and be a gym leader, though there are some exceptions where gym leaders are even younger than 16 just because they are prodigies and are better than veterans in the battle department. Julian looked more into Korrina and realized that she is a really good trainer who needs a little more polishing before bing a perfect gym leader, she still seems to be a little young and rash and her ace seems to be a Lucario. After looking into her team, Julian knew it was time to evolve his b¨¦b¨¦, b¨¦b¨¦ has been holding onto her evolution, she wanted to be perfect before evolution and it was now time. After doing his research, Julian made his way towards the closest forest and started to train his pokemon, he separated b¨¦b¨¦ and Honedge and told them to battle it out, after battling it out for a while, b¨¦b¨¦ started to get pressured by Honedge finally pushing her to her limit. Being pushed so hard, b¨¦b¨¦ finally started to glow, the flower under her tiny tail started to grow bigger, b¨¦b¨¦ also started growing bigger, her arms went around the flower''s stem, her pointy snout disappeared and was reced by an actual mouth, her ears changed, she even grew petals like eyshes. Once the glow disappeared, her new evolution was finally visible to everyone present, Floette twirled around happily as she felt stronger, bigger, and faster than before. Just evolving gave her a huge power boost, Julian was also impressed, her white flower looked beautiful under the glow of the sun, Julian smiled seeing this. He then got back to training Floette, now that she has evolved, it was her time to battle again, Julian didn''t want to use his other pokemon for the battle for now, except his Skrelp who will debut in his very first official battle against the Shalour city''s gym leader. Julian trained his Floette on mastering her new body while he trained Skrelp on how to use both powerful physical and special attack, the Skrelps are very good all-rounder pokemon and they are known to learn very powerful moves which belong to their typing. Even though they don''t excel in one particr aspect, they can still pack a punch, but things will get more interesting when Skrelp evolves, he will be another powerhouse in Julian''s team with very high special defense and special attack. Julian continued to train his pokemon for three days before finally deciding to challenge the gym, while walking around the city, he noticed that a lot of people like to use rollerdes in this city, many youths were rushing around having fun. Julian didn''t think much of this and finally arrived at the gym, he arrived at a massive gym, the gym covered a massive area but was not high at all, he looked at the massive gym symbol in front of the gym, it was very clear that this gym is a fighting gym. As he entered the gym, he could hear shoutsing from the back of the gym, it sounded like people were training and being thought martial arts, Julian''s guess was right, as he made his way towards the back of the gym, he saw a huge group of people practicing martial arts and they were guided by an old man who is keeping a careful watch on them. The old man noticed Julian and turned around, he looked at Julian and noticed him covering his identity, he wondered who this young man is. He walked towards Julian with a smile on his face. Old Man "Are you here to join the ss?" He asked. Julian "No, I am here for a gym battle" Julian answered. Old Man "Oh, you should head inside and wait, my granddaughter will be there soon, she is not here at the moment" The Old Man answered. Julian "Sure, I will be waiting then" Julian said and turned him back to the old man and walked it, Julian realized that this man is none other than the previous gym leader but now that he has retired, it''s not his job to battle Julian. Chapter 1018 - Julian Vs Korrina (1) Julian walked into the gym and decided to look around, though a fighting gym, this also seems to be some kind of dojo, there were photos of many students who won martial artspetition, this dojo seems to be very good at training their students. Many of them won massive tournaments around the world, as he was looking around he noticed the old man walk towards him, he turned around and noticed Gurkinn looking at him with a smile. ?? Gurkinn "You seem to be interested in martial arts, do you want to learn it?" The old man asked. Julian "No need, I know little martial arts, enough for me to defend myself" Julian answered. Gurkinn "I see" Gurkinn said and stroked his massive long eyebrows, Julian didn''t bother noticing them before but now Gurkinn started to stroke it, it stuck out like a sore thumb, his eyebrows were extremely long, it looked like a mustache but they are growing from above his eyes, he also has a patch of hair in the middle of his head like a tomahawk. Julian ''What a weird style'' Julian thought as he looked at the old man. Gurkinn "You must be Julian right?" He suddenly asked. Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t expect the old man to recognize him, Julian has not been keeping the same appearance, he changed his clothing style, he changed his hairstyle frequently as well. So people couldn''t really recognize him that often. Julian "How did you find out?" He asked and wanted to know how Gurkinn found out his identity. Gurkinn "Well I just spected, fierce red eyes, I could only think of few trainers with such trait" He said. Julian ''I see, but I can''t be bothered anymore, I don''t want to walk around wearing shades everywhere" Julian thought and just nodded his head. Julian "So when will the gym leader be arriving?" He asked. Gurkinn "Well, she will be here in an hour" He answered. Julian "I can wait" Julian said. Gurkinn "Actually, I wanted to ask for a request" Gurkinn said. Julian "Hm? What is it?" Julian asked. Gurkinn "When you face off against my granddaughter, I want you topletely crush her in battle" Gurkinn said. Hearing him Julian was surprised, he didn''t know why a grandfather would want to make his granddaughter lose so badly. Julian "Why?" Gurkinn "Well, my granddaughter has gotten a little too confident, she has not lost a gym battle ever since she took over as th0e gym leader so she has gotten too overconfident, she is even skipping training, I think she needs a little reality check" He said. Julian "Well, I do intend to win" Julian answered. Gurkinn "I hope you don''t go easy on her at all, push her to absolute limit" Gurkinn said. Julian "I will see, it depends on her own skills, if she is really good, she will be able to battle a little longer, if not, she will fall" Julian answered. Gurkinn just looked at Julian and nodded. He didn''t bother staying around and went back to training his martial art students, Julian headed towards the battlefield and started to examine it, he wanted to see if there is anything different about this battlefield. After looking around, he didn''t find anything special, well it is rare to see a themed battlefield inside a gym, only a few gyms have the permission to apply one to their gym as some of them can be considered ''not safe''. After waiting for a while inside the gym, the gym leader finally showed her face, she rushed into the battlefield with her rollerdes on, she looked around excitedly and noticed her challenger sitting there waiting for her. Korrina looked excited to battle, but Julian could tell that Korrina is not here to do her job as a gym leader, she is actually here to have fun through a pokemon battle. Korrina "Are you the challenger?" She asked excitedly. Julian just nodded and walked towards the challenger side of the battlefield, Korrina also didn''t waste his time and rushed towards her side using her rollerdes. Before they could start the battle, Korrina''s grandfather himself entered the battlefield. Korrina "Grandpa, what are you doing here?" She asked. Gurkinn "I am here to be the referee of this battle" He answered. Korrina is surprised, her grandpa didn''t referee any matches after she took over as the gym leader except for her first few battles. Gurkinn "This will be a three vs three pokemon battle, during the battle, only the challenger is allowed to switch pokemons, the gym leader cannot. The trainer with no pokemon able to battle will lose" Gurkinn exined the rules and asked both Korrina and Julian to choose their pokemon. Korrina went first and sent out her first pokemon, Mienfoo, a pure fighting type pokemon, Julian looked at her choice and smiled, he then sent out his choice Skrelp. With both pokemons on the battlefield, both trainers looked at Gurkinn waiting for his signal to start the battle. Chapter 1019 - Julian Vs Korrina (2) Gurkinn looked at both Korrina and Julian and noticed that both of them are ready to battle, he didn''t waste any time and waved his gs indicating the start of the battle. Julian "Use Scald" ?? Julian decided to attack first, he could tell that Korrina is not actually taking him seriously at all, she really looked overconfident right now, he needs to make her take this a little seriously or she will be done for before she can even process her loss. Skrelp puffed his chest as vapor spewed out of his mouth, he then shot a sizzling hot stream of water jet at Korrina''s Mienfoo. Sensing the danger from the iing attack, Mienfoo jumped to the side and barely dodged it, the scaling hot water jet hit the ground and sizzled, it was as if it was burning the ground itself. Korrina saw this and got a little serious, she has been a very dominant gym leader and she wants to keep her winning streak, she doesn''t want to lose now as she has been experiencing the high of being an undefeated gym leader. Till now no trainer has won and badge against her and this is also one of the problems Gurkinn is facing, he realized that his granddaughter really doesn''t understand what it means to be a gym leader. Winning the battle for a gym leader should never be a priority, it should be guiding the trainers who challenge them to be better trainers, he tried to exin this to his granddaughter but she didn''t listen to him at all. She just brushed him off by saying that she understands. Now that she is facing a powerful opponent, Korrina felt that she needs to be a little careful. Korrina "Use Force Palm" Though she knows the opponent is strong, battling defensive is not her style and she directly went for an attack. Her Mienfoo charged at his Skrelp with full speed, its palms glowed and were covered with explosive fighting energy, they were ready tond battling ending damage on Skrelp. Julian "Now, Sludge Bomb" As soon as Mienfoo arrived at the distance Julian wanted it to be at, he called for the offense, Skrelp puffed his chest and shot a concentrated poisonous ck ball of sludge at Mienfoo. Since Mienfoo wasing towards Skrelp at such speed, it couldn''t slow itself and the poisonous sludge is also traveling at high speed. The sludge hit Mienfoo right on its face and exploded, Mienfoo went flying through the air and crashed on the ground, Korrina was shocked and looked at her Mienfoo to see if it is fine or not, she sighed in relief as he noticed Mienfoo getting back to its feet. But her expression soon changed as she noticed her Mienfoo is wobbling around as its energy is being drained, it is getting exhausted as it hase under the effects of poison. It couldn''t stand its ground even for a minute before copsing on the ground again but it''s time it is out cold. Gurkinn "Mienfoo is unable to battle, Skrelp wins" He called the result, even he was surprised by this, he didn''t expect Julian to one-shot his granddaughter''s first pokemon. Korrina is shocked, she couldn''t understand what just happened, her Mienfoo was not a still target at all, it was charging towards Skrelp very fast and in a zigzag pattern, how could Skrelp be so urate? She couldn''t understand this at all. If she knew the amount of training Julian has put his pokemons through, she would be shocked, Julian doesn''t just train all his pokemon simrly, he sees their traits and characteristics, their body shape, their stats ande up with a battling style for them. Skrelp here has been trained to be a marksman, his aim is superb and he is getting better at it, he is able to predict where his opponents will be before they are even there. Korrina has never lost her first pokemon so fast, she couldn''t process this. Korrina ''It must be a fluke. Yes, that''s it! It was a fluke and nothing else, I will make a powerfuleback and defeat him'' She thought to herself and sent her Mienfoo back to its Pokeball and sent out her next Pokemon on the battlefield, she sent her Machoke. A big Machoke entered the battlefield and started to flex its muscles while looking at its opponent, the tiny Skrelp, augh released out of its mouth when it saw the tiny opponent, it believed that it would crush the seaweed-like pokemon with just one finger. Korrina took a deep breath and went for the attack again. Korrina "Use Power-Up Punch" Korrina went for the attack again, her Machoke rushed towards Skrelp while channeling a lot of power into its fists, as it got close, Julian counted just like before. Julian "Sludge Bomb" Korrina "Not falling for the same trick again, jump!" As soon as Skrelp shot the Sludge Bomb, Machoke used its powerful legs and jumped up dodging the poisonous sludge, it then started to descend towards Skrelp at full speed with its fist aiming towards him. Julian "Protect" There was no time to counter-attack and he could only use Protect right now. Machoke arrived and its fist met with the forcefield creating a booming sound. Chapter 1020 - Julian Vs Korrina (3) Machoke''s fistnded on the protective forcefield, a sonic boom swept through the battlefield and the protective forcefield started to crack, but it was enough to stop Machoke''s momentum. The Protect shattered and Skrelp moved back as it happened, Machokended with its feet on the ground and lunched at Skrelp once again since he is so close to Machoke. ?? Korrina "Use Karate Chop" Machoke got close to Skrelp and was about to bring down its knife hand down on Skrelp when Julian made his move as well. Julian "Use Poison Tail" Due to the height difference between Machoke and Skrelp, Skrelp clearly had a better chance atnding a hit before Machoke, Skrelp was not just a special attacker and Korrina seems to have forgotten about it and it was time for her to be reminded of that. Skrelp did a quick spin andshed at Machoke''s leg with his glowing poisonous tail, Poison Tailnded on Machoke''s leg and it shouted in pain and its hand hit the ground, Skrelppletely avoided the Karate Chop. Machoke got poisoned, one could clearly tell by the changes in Machoke''s body, its skin now has a slight hint of purple, its eyes are a little red and the area where it got hit ispletely dark purple due to the high content of poison on it. Machoke tried to get up but was feeling a little weak, it stared at Skrelp and tried to hit him with another Karate chop but it was not going to happen, this battle was already over in Julian''s eyes. With Skrelp''s opponent poisoned, there is no need to drag this battle any further. Julian "Use Venoshock" Machokes don''t have great special defense and with poison already in effect, the Venoshock will do double the damage. Before the Karate Chop could even touch Skrelp, he released a st of poisonous pulses which hit Machoke and did a lot of damage, due to it being poisoned, the damage was doubled and Machoke crashed back first into the ground knocked out cold. Korrina couldn''t believe this at all, she thought she will be able to make aeback but she was wrong, her Machoke was also taken down very easily by her opponent. For the first time after bing a gym leader, she felt desperate and started to lose her confidence. Julian "I am disappointed" Julian suddenly said. Korrina frowned, she didn''t like this statement at all, she wanted to speak out and confront her challenger but decided to stop herself, she still has one more move up her sleeve, her ace pokemon, her Lucario. Her Lucario is her best pokemon and it is way more powerful than both her Machoke and Mienfoobined. She sent Machoke back to its Pokeball and sent out her Lucario, Lucario entered the battlefield and looked at its trainer and back at its opponent. Julian looked at Lucario for a second and decided to continue using his Skrelp, he thought of switching his pokemon and send out Floette into the battlefield but decided to use Skrelp, Julian believed he can speed Korrina''s third pokemon as well. Lucario stared at its opponent and got fired up, it loved to battle just like its trainer and started to punch and kick the air indicating that it is ready to battle and is just waiting for Korrina''s signal. Korrina didn''t make her Lucario wait and went for the attack. Korrina "Use Power-up Punch" Korrina is very confident in this round, not only is her Lucario stronger than her previous pokemons, but it also has an advantage against her opponent''s Skrelp. Lucario rushed towards Skrelp and went for a straight right as its fist was swirling with fighting energy. Julian "Use Scald" Hearing Julian, Skrelp countered, he puffed his chest and shot a scalding water jet at Lucario, Lucario who was gunning straight towards Skrelp saw the iing attack and moved to the side dodging it but Skrelp was not done. His eyes are locked on Lucario, he continued sting the scalding water jet at Lucario, Lucario found itself in a very difficult position, it realized that it cannot go forward with its attack, if it gets any closer to Skrelp, it will get hit by Scald. For now, it could only run around and wait for Skrelp to get exhausted and then go for the attack, while Lucario was running around, Julian noticed something and was once again disappointed by the current gym leader. She relied on her Lucario too much during the battle and Lucario also seems to be running a little wind on the battlefield withoutmunicating with its trainer. If a pokemon can battle on its own on a battlefield and use moves depending on the situation, it would be of great help to its trainer but this could also cause a lot of mimunication between the pokemon and trainer. Korrina and Lucario are suffering from the same thing, while Korrina might think of something, Lucario might do somethingpletely different, believing it is doing the right thing and Korrina doesn''t seem to mind it at all, she just goes along with Lucario thinking its for the best. As Julian observed the battle for a few minutes he realized just how good Korina''s Lucario really is, it ising up with ways to counter his Skrelp''s attacks on its own, this Lucario was born for battling, while Korrina is trainer is just going along with it. This is only good if they are facing opponents who are not that strong, if they faced someone who is a veteran, they will be dissected and destroyed. Korrina needs to learn how to control the battlefield, not let her pokemon do it for her, she is there to watch the battle, ess the surrounding, be her pokemon''s third eye and guide it, not just stand there, wait for her Lucario to make a move and then follow up with her own call. This was just sloppy in Julian''s eye, no matter how good Lucario really is, his Skrelp could defeat it with just a few predictable shots. Chapter 1021 - Julian Vs Korrina (4) After realizing that Korrina relies on her Lucario more than she should, Julian decided to end this one quickly as well. If Korrina keeps battling like this, she will never be a good gym leader, she will just keep winning and hold back young trainer''s progression, winning is not important for gym leaders, it is their job to guide trainers and with how Korrina is doing her job, she is not being a gym leader. ?? She is just aiming to be an undefeated gym leader. Julian "Use Dive" It was time to go for the offense, Skrelp stopped using Scald and suddenly switched his attack, he surrounded himself in water and sted it everywhere, the whole battlefield was now submerged underwater and Lucario is having a hard time moving around and locating Skrelp. Skrelp swam through the water and got close to Lucario and lunged at it on its back, Lucario felt as if it got hit by heavy rock and got sent flying into the air, the water that covered the battlefield disappeared, and only Skrelp remained on top of the battlefield. Korrina panicked seeing this and quickly called out a move. Korrina "Use Protect" She shouted but her Lucario didn''t listen, it suddenly created a bone out of its aura and when it was about to touch the ground, it used it as a medium to stop itself from crashing hard and then used the same aura bone tounch itself towards Skrelp using Bone Rush. Korrina saw this and hesitated a little but decided to go along with Lucario''s choice. Julian "Scald" Lucario left itself wide open for a marksman like Skrelp, as it is in the air, it cannot change direction, no matter how fast Lucario is traveling, it won''t be able to dodge Skrelp''s attack this time. Skrelp locked on and shot a scalding jet stream at Lucario, this time it couldn''t dodge it and got hit, Scald is a very powerful move, and the biggest strength of Scald was that it could add burning effect on its target even though it being a water type move. The Scaldnded and Lucario was stopped in its tracks, it crashed on the ground and mes suddenly engulfed its body, it howled in pain as burn started to take effect. What surprised Julian was that Lucario is still standing. Julian "Get this over with, Shock Wave" An unavoidable electric type move should put an end to this battle. Since Lucario is covered with water, electricity would conduct better which will have more effect. Waves of electricity released by Skrelp touched Lucario and zapped it, Lucario howled and went on its knee, it still tried to fight back but the burn effect red up once again putting its struggle to end. It cked out as its face hit the ground and the battle ended just like that. Gurkinn "Lucario is unable to battle, Skrelp wins, the winner of this battle is the challenger" Gurkinn announced the victor of this battle, he didn''t expect his granddaughter to lose so easily but he didn''t expect anything else, the person she is facing is one of the greatest if not the greatest, he just picked her apart like the veteran he is. Gurkinn knows that to a powerful trainer like Julian, it doesn''t matter how strong of a pokemon Korrina has, she is just a rookie gym leader who needs to learn a lot, and trainers like these are too easy to deal with. Korrina couldn''t believe what she just saw, she couldn''t evennd one hit on her opponent during the whole battle, she was picked apart and destroyed. Julian "Such a disappointment, here I thought I would at least get a challenge" Julian said. Korrina finally snapped after being mocked by Julian, she red fiercely at her challenger. Korrina "What do you mean by that?" Julian "I wonder how you became a gym leader? Is being a gym leader so easy? Can anyone be a gym leader?" Julian asked in a mocking tone. Korrina "You.....!" She wanted to say something but couldn''t think of anything. Julian "How could someone like you be a gym leader, you can''t even control the battlefield, you can''t even control your own pokemon, it''s just moving around doing whatever it wants while you just stand there and watch it do so, it''s pathetic. A trainer is supposed to be the one in control, not the other way around, no wonder you are so weak" Julian mocked her again. Korrina didn''t know what to say to Julian''s im, even though she didn''t want to believe it, she felt Julian was telling the truth, she looked at her unconscious Lucario and wondered about how she has been battling along with it all this time. Every time she would just go along with Lucario''s instinct, it was as if she didn''t need to be there at all. Julian "What''s the use of being a trainer, if you can''t guide your pokemon?" Julian asked but he didn''t get any reply, Korrina just kept looking at her Lucario. Julian "Am I done here, can I have my badge?" Julian asked. Gurkinn walked up to Julian and handed him the gym badge and guided him out of the gym. Chapter 1022 - Grace Tower Once both Julian and Gurkinn made their way out of the gym, they looked at each other, Gurkinn didn''t say anything for a few seconds before finally speaking out his thoughts. Gurkinn "I didn''t expect you to call out her ws" ?? Julian "Well, if she wants to be a good gym leader, she needs to know how to be one, and from seeing how she is doing right now, it''s not possible" Gurkinn "I don''t know if she will listen to you, I tried to tell her about this many times but she just brushes it away" Julian "Don''t worry, she will listen this time, today she got humiliated inside her own gym by some random trainer, I don''t think she will brush it off, at the end of the day, she is a prideful teenager" Julian answered. Gurkinn just smiled at Julian''s response, if what Julian said is true then he will be waiting for the day when his granddaughter will finally mature up and take her job seriously. Julian "Also, don''t reveal my identity to her till she figures out how to be a good gym leader, let that sour taste stay inside her. If she figures out who she lost to she might not work hard enough" Gurkinn "I understand" Gurkinn nodded. He knew how to handle stuff like this. Julian then bid his farewell and left the gym and headed back to his hotel room, today was a sessful day for him, he won his gym battle and his Skrelp got a lot of experience, he usually didn''t do a full sweep because he wanted his pokemons to get more experience but his Floetle already has a lot of it under herpared to the new pokemons in his team. Sitting inside his hotel room, Julian looked at the Kalos region map and tried to know a little more about his next destination, which is Coumarine City. The city doesn''t have anything that caught Julian''s attention except the Coumarine gym and its gym leader, an old grass-type veteran. He figured out that his journey to Coumarine city will be a long one as route 12 seems to be very long, luckily for him, there are many small towns on the way which he can use to rest and restock his supplies if they run out. Once everything was settled, he didn''t spend too much time in Shalour City, he left the city bright early in the morning the next day, it was a very long journey, after crossing the bridge that connects Shalour city tond, he directly entered a very dense forest. He didn''t find any pokemon that caught his interest in these parts of the forest, he passed through few small towns and rested in one of them. After crossing the dense forest, he was greeted by a massive river whose current was very powerful, one would not be able to cross this river by any means possible, boats would bepletely useless. Luckily the bridge is still there which he can use to cross the powerful river. While crossing he wondered how terrifying the river would really get during the rainy season, he knew that even the bridge he is walking on right now would be sted by the water currents during the rainy season. Once he was done crossing the river he was greeted by another dense jungle, bigger than the previous one, once again, he had to camp in the forest, he spent some time looking for pokemons but it was of no use. He couldn''t find any pokemon that was good enough for him. On his way, he decided to rest for a night inside a small vige, the people of this vige were very weing, the vige leader even let Julian stay inside his house. During the night when they were having their dinner, the vige leader told him about a very mysterious ce that caught Julian''s attention. The vige elder told him about this ce called the Grace Tower and there have been rumors going around that the Grace Tower is anding site for UFOs. When Julian heard this, he knew he had to check it out, it could be a rumor but Julian knew one thing, he could never miss anything rted to things thate from outer space, the Pokemon Universe is very unique and everything Julian has encountered extraterritorial things, they have all been unique. Julian decided to give this tower and visit after he heads back on road. The next day, Julian hit the road again, this time he was in no rush to reach Coumarine city now, he wanted to check this Grace Tower first before heading there. Julian traveled for two days before he was finally able to see the grace tower from far away, he looked at the massive weirdly shaped tower in front of him and was impressed. It was clearly not a man-made tower and it was very unique in shape to be created naturally. As Julian got close he realized that this tower might actually be a dead volcano, once he got close to the dead volcano he put his bike away and looked at it from the bottom, the rocks around the tower were clearly made from moltenva as Julian took notice of its pattern. And now he is interested to see what really is on top of the dead volcano. Chapter 1023 - Evil Pokemons As he was about to climb the dead volcano which is also the Grace Tower, he heard a rustleing from the nearest bush, he looked in the direction from where the sound came and he was surprised to see what came out of the bush. It''s a Mmar and a pretty big one, from what Julian knows, Mmars are not very friendly pokemon and they are very vicious in nature, he looked at the Mmar carefully but he couldn''t feel any animositying from the Mmar. ?? And as he expected, this one was quite friendly, it greeted Julian with a smile on its face, soon multiple Inkays came out of nowhere and dragged Julian into the forest, as Julian followed the little pokemons, he saw many pokemons moving around ying with each other, eating berries under the watchful eyes of three Mmars. Julian let out his pokemons and let them hang around with the wild pokemons here, after a few minutes Julian heard something, something big was rushing through the road, it got Julian''s attention and he looked in the direction where it came from. He then noticed three massive trucks heading towards the Grace Tower, Julian looked at these trucks with suspicion as there is no need for such massive trucks here, he wondered what is being carried inside these trucks. He got up and sent all his pokemons back to their Pokeballs and bid farewell to wild pokemons before giving the trucks a chase, he watched them as they drove the truck up the tower, it looks like people have built a path on the tower so it was easy for massive trucks to go up. Julian followed the truck all the way up but on his way he noticed someone was also there staring at the trucks as well, it caught Julian''s attention and sneaked to the area where the person is currently hiding observing the trucks as well. When he got there he was surprised to see the person, it was officer Jenny, he watched her carefully and followed her from behind, once both of them climbed up and reach the top of the tower, Julian stood right behind Officer Jenny but she didn''t notice him at all. He also watched what was happening in the middle of the tower, Julian was surprised to notice that the tower was not hollow since its a dead volcano, it had a firm ground where the three trucks standing next to each other. Julian waited for the big reveal, as soon as the doors of the trucks opened, Julian was surprised to see what came out of the truck, three Mmar floated out with wicked smiles on their face. Julian ''Now that''s creepy'' Julian thought. With all the time he spent here in this world, it is the first time he has seen pokemons like this, pokemons that look pure evil in nature, he has seen bad pokemons but they were always under evil people''s influence but this time it is not. It''s the pokemon themselves that are evil to the core, this was new to him so he is a little excited. Julian "So officer Jenny, what do you know about these Mmars?" Julian asked. Jenny "The Mmar in the middle is the leader, I have had an encounter with it before, and trust....." Before she could finish her word, she realized that someone is right behind her, she was just so focused on observing the Mmars that she forgot she was all alone. She was about to make a sudden movement but was stopped by Julian, he put his hand over her mouth and held her tightly so that she doesn''t move, Officer Jenny is shocked as she felt powerless in this person''s hold. She tried to say something but her voice was muffled. Julian "Shhh, don''t make a sound of they will hear you" Julian whispered in her ear, Officer Jenny calmed down listening to Julian, she didn''t feel scared in his arms so she listened to him. Noticing that she calmed down Julian let go of her and smiled. Julian "So Officer Jenny, what is happening here?" He asked again. Jenny "First, who are you?" She whispered and asked. Julian "My bad" Julian said and removed his mask to show his face, as soon as Jenny saw Julian''s face she was shocked, she was about to scream but Julian quickly covered her mouth again and held her tightly and didn''t let her go, one arm around her waist and other on her mouth. Julian "You are too jump right now, let''s calm down first" He whispered into her ear from the back and looked at the three Mmar as they seem to bemunicating with each other in their ownnguage. Julian "Do you know what they are up to?" Julian asked again as he noticed that the Mmar suddenly used their power to open up the container carried by the trucks, as soon as they opened the containers six weird-shaped artifacts could be seen. They started to glow and float up in the air, it was clearly being done by the Mmars, now Julian wanted to know what those weird things are, the only person who could answer him is Officer Jenny. Chapter 1024 - No Going Back (18+) Julian looked at Jenny to find his answer but he was surprised to see Jenny is breathing heavily, her face is red and her eyes are a little moist. Julian realized that Jenny is getting a little horny right now, he forgot about the effects he can have on women when he touches them like that, with his arms around her waist, it really can be stimting. ?? Julian smiled as he saw her reaction, he couldn''t control himself either, he wanted to have a little fun with her now that she is turned on. Julian "Oh, look at you, getting turned on by a stranger while on a mission" He whispered in her ear, hearing Julian she started to mumble but couldn''t say anything as he is still covering her mouth, she shook her head in denial as well. Julian "No need to deny what you want" Julian whispered again and tightened his grip around her waist and pulled her closer, her back pressed to his chest, Jenny mumbled but he didn''t let her go, with both of them sitting on the ground, Julian used his legs and put it inside hers. He then slowly spread her legs apart using his own legs, she looked at the side of Julian''s face with her own eyes, her breathing is heavy, her eyes are moist and she is getting very wet down there, the feeling of being powerless felt new to her. She was always a person in power and now feeling powerless was some kind of a turn-on for her. Once her legs were wide open, Julian started to stroke her abs, being an officer, someone who works in the field, she is quite fit, she clearly has very nice abs, Julian could feel them even through the coat and t-shirt she is wearing right now. She is not in her uniform right now, she is working undercover. Julian then brought his hand down her crotch and pressed on it, he felt her soft pussy through the cargo pants she is wearing. Jenny suddenly let out an uncontroble moan as soon as she felt Julian''s touch down there but it was muffled by Julian''s hand over her mouth. Julian started to rub her pussy through her pants and it didn''t take even a minute for him to feel her pants getting wet. She is super wet down there, Julian was waiting for this to happen, now she cannot go back. He then removed his hand from her mouth and made her directly look at him, seeing her expression right now was priceless, she ispletely filled with lust, just one more move from him and she will be his. Jenny looked at Julian''s eyes and then at his lips, she licked her own lips right after that, she wanted to kiss him but she also knew that if she takes this step, it''s all over. Too bad she doesn''t know that this is already the end. Jenny "We shouldn''t do this, I am working undercover right now" She whispered to him. Julian "What are you even talking about, you are the one who is not stopping" He said with a smile on his face, Jenny felt Julian''s finger rubbing her down there making her pussy very wet, she then realized that it was not Julian, he looked at her crotch and noticed that she is the one who is holding Julian''s hand and making it rub her pussy. She looked back at Julian realizing that there is no going back. Jenny "But what about the Mmars?" She asked. Julian "Do you really think they can do anything with me around?" He asked as he grabbed the back of her hair tightly and tugged her a little, she couldn''t resist at all, she let Julian control her now. Jenny "I don''t know, how will you take care of them?" She asked but Julian didn''t answer, he pulled her towards him and kissed her, she didn''t resist at all, their lips touched and soon after their tongues were entangled, they started to kiss very aggressively, Julian''s tongue ravaged her mouth but she couldn''t do anything but let him invade. He eyes arepletely filled with lust, she even forgot about why she is here now, she even forgot about her being on the hard ground right now, she ispletely lost in her own lust. Julian stopped kissing her and pulled her face away from his, her eyes lost and her tongue still sticking out as saliva dripped down it, Julian stopped rubbing her pussy through her drenched pant. Julian "This is restricting the real fun" He whispered into her ear and unbuttoned her pant and pulled down her zipper to reveal the ck underwear she is wearing right now. Julian was about to put his hand down there when Jenny tried to stop him. Jenny "Not down there, I haven''t shaved there" She said a little shy. Julian "I don''t mind hair at all, I like all types, no judgments" He whispered and slid his hand down her underwear, just like she said, he felt her hair above her pussy, he was quite surprised to feel them as they were long but not bushy, it was clear that she groomed them nicely but she didn''t get a chance to cut them. Julian decided to do something new today, he closed his fist and grab as much of her hair as possible, as he clenched his fist tightly it causes enough pain to stimte Jenny, it was not intense pain but enough to make her enjoy it. She squeaked as she felt the hair above her pussy being grabbed tightly by Julian, the pain didn''t feel bad at all, it was just there and didn''t cross the line where it actually hurt. Julian "You like it, don''t you?" He whispered to which Jenny nodded her head, she liked it, a little pain disguised as pleasure. Chapter 1025 - Another One Breaks Down (18+) Julian continued to grab and release her hair as Jenny squealed every time he did so, the slight pain felt great. Julian "You like the pain don''t you, you masochist slut!" ?? Julian whispered in her ear. Jenny "~no~" She moaned while denying it, Julian just smiled and didn''t say much, he then moved his hand down further and finally started to y with Jenny''s pussy, he pinched her clit and quickly covered her mouth so she won''t alert the Mmars who are still setting up those weird machine. As he had expected he let out a loud moan as he pinched her clit, thanks to him covering her mouth before, she didn''t alert the Mmars. He kissed her again and finally put his finger inside her pussy, he yed with her insides with his finger and Jenny couldn''t moan loudly because Julian is continuously kissing her, he would give her just a few seconds to take breathes before going back to kissing After a few seconds, he put another finger inside her pussy and started to shake it at a very rapid pace, the sudden increase in speed caught Jenny by surprise, her eyes went wide while she continued to kiss Julian, she raised her hips up due to the sudden increase of stimtion. She found herself in a weird position, her whole back was on the ground and was only supported by her legs, she put her arms behind Julian''s neck to support herself from not falling, while Julian kissed her aggressively, his fingers were also working her magic on her pussy. She is gushing from down there, Julian found her pants a little annoying so he just ripped them of very easily exposing her hairy pussy, Jenny is currently in a bridge position with her arms supporting her upper body on Julian''s shoulder while her legs supported her lower body. The feeling of Julian''s finger rampaging inside her pussy was too much stimtion for her, she was stuck in this pose, even though they are kissing, it didn''t stop Jenny from making loud moans, she is screaming from pleasure, it was just that the kissing muffled the sound. She then let out a louder moan and squirted, her pussy fluids gushed out of her pussy like pee and hit the ground, Julian didn''t stop at all, he continued to rampage inside her pussy giving her no break. This time her moans finally caught the attention of the Mmars, she was screaming from pleasure how could they not notice the sound. The three Mmars looked in the direction from where the sound wasing, the three Mmars frowned and the leader of the Mmar told one of them to check what is going on. The Mmar on the left nodded and headed towards Julian''s direction, the two Mmars got back to their work and turned their back on the other Mmar, little did they know, as soon as they turned their back around, the Mmar was snatched out of thin air and dragged into the shadow dimension before it could even make a sound. Back to where Julian is, he stopped kissing Jenny and looked at her, she is resting her head on hisp, her eyes rolled up, her tongue out, her legs spread wide as she continued to squirt little amounts of fluid out of her pussy. Julian "This is not over, things are just getting started" He whispered in Jenny''s ear once again, hearing Julian, Jenny''s eyes trembled, she didn''t know what else Julian had to give, she has just experienced the best orgasm of her life and it is still not over. Before she could think of anything else Julian will do to her, she felt him grabbing her coat with her hand and ripping them apart with ease. As soon as he ripped Jenny''s coat along with her t-shirt, her massive breasts popped out and giggled, she was hiding quite massive racks under her coat, Julian was delighted by seeing them, he grabbed both of them and started to massage them. Jenny started to moan again as she felt Julian''s rough hands on her soft breast, she felt her breasts being squeezed and pulled like dough, she felt her nipples getting pinched and pulled, Julian even started to suck on them. He nibbled on those pink nipples and made them erect, Jenny continued to moan from pleasure. He suddenly stopped as he wanted to take this further and doing it on the hard rough ground won''t be the best option, so he pulled out a mattress from his dimensional pouch and tossed Jenny on top of it. Jenny was surprised by this but she didn''t have any interest in asking Julian about it, she just wanted to get fucked by him, as Jennyid on the mattress facing upward, Julian stood right on top of her face and removed his pants exposing his massive dick. This is the first time Jenny saw his dick and she was shocked by the size and girth of the monster, Julian got on his knees right on top of Jenny''s face, his balls were hanging right above her eyes, Julian then grabbed her head and opened her mouth wide and shoved his cock inside her throat. Jenny gagged hard as she suddenly felt Julian''s massive dick inside her throat, her throat expanded as his dick reached the depths, this was shocking to Jenny, he removed his dick from her mouth and let her take a deep breath as she started to cough. Julian "Get ready, I am going to fuck your face hard" Julian said and inserted his massive cock inside her mouth again and this time there was no break, he started to pound his dick down her throat, his balls pped her face repeatedly, her eyes were almost lost as she felt her throat getting vited by Julian''s dick. Her saliva mixed with his precum made the perfect lube for his dick to slide down her throat, he did give her few seconds to breathe and cough but that is it, he then went down on her throat again, this continued for another ten minutes, he finally let out a massive load inside her throat which went straight down to her stomach. He removed his dick from her mouth and looked at his new slut, Julian broke another one, Jenny had it written all over her face, she is Julian''s slut, a cum dumpster for him to use. Julian ''I always get very rough with them'' He thought but he couldn''t control himself, he has too massive of a sex drive. Jenny''s mouth is filled with his cum as she slowly drinks it, she even used her finger to wipe the excess and suck it. Julian "Now, let''s get to the main course" He said and lifted her up and threw her in front of him spreading her legs wide open. Chapter 1026 - Capturing The Malamars Julian then started to fuck Jenny, his dick entered her drenched pussy, though it was very wet, her pussy is very tight, as Julian entered the cave, Jenny let out loud moans as she felt Julian''s dick inside her tight pussy. She felt her pussy being stretched by his big dick, she felt the hot rod moving inside her pussy at a very rapid pace, the sound of her being fucked couldn''t be contained anymore, the ps and sshes could be heard clearly. ?? This of course alerted the other two Mmars who are busy activating the weird-shaped thing they brought here, they suddenly realized that the Mmar that just went to check on the unknown sound has note back yet. They knew something is not right, they looked in the direction from where the sound wasing and frowned, they looked at each other before deciding to check out what really is going on, they were confident enough in their strength so they were not worried about this unknown source of the sound. As they made their way towards the sound they suddenly felt their legs being grabbed on by something, they felt chills down their spine and looked at their legs, they saw ck chains tied around both their legs holding them in ce. They could sense the danger they are in and started to get aggressive, they tried to struggle out but it was not possible, they are not strong enough to escape these chains made of shadows. They then started to use their moves on the chains, Psybeam, methrowers, Hyper Beams, nothing worked, they felt helpless right now and scared for their life, they wondered who is holding them in such state. They looked in the direction of the sound and they could still hear it, the sound of pping, sshing, grunts, and moans, they didn''t know what is going on but they suspect their situation rted to those sounds. As they tried tomunicate and figure out how to get out of this situation, they suddenly felt something ring at them from below, the fear that followed soon after was overwhelming. The leader of Mmar is quite evil and he had made pokemons tremble in front of it, it has killed and tortured other people and pokemon, it has brainwashed them into doing its own bidding. This Mmar is evil to the core but now even it couldn''t help but shiver in horror, it didn''t know what was staring at them but it knew, it somehow messed up, it has attracted the attention of something very dark and cold, something that shouldn''t exist in this world. Both Mmars felt the same way, they once again looked at each other, nervousness filled their eyes and both of them could see it in each other''s faces, they nodded and finally decided to take courage and look down. They slowly looked down at the chains which were connected to their shadows, they then noticed their shadow slowly starting to merge together, this frightened them to the core, they had never seen a shadow move on its own, it was not possible. Once their shadows merged it became a big dark circle on the ground and right in the middle of this dark circle, the Mmars saw two crimson eyes opening and looking at them. They froze as they looked straight into those eyes, they couldn''t do anything but tremble in horror and had a hard time breathing, their chests expanded and retracted heavily, after a few seconds, they saw the shadow smile. They saw a big wide grin on the shadow, its eyes looked sinister, its grin was pure horror, if one had to describe what true horror looked and felt like, it was this shadow in both Mmars eyes. They thought they would be this horrifying being''s food and they felt helpless, their thought process even worsened as they felt the chains have started to pull them down, withst bit of strength and resistance left in them, they tried to fight back but it was of no use, the Mmars were dragged into the shadow dimension. As they were dragged into the shadow dimension, the tower top became empty again, there are only three truks, six weird-shaped machines, and the sound of pping, sshing, and moaning. The soundssted for an hour before finallying to an end. Julian released a massive load inside Jenny and let her clean everything up, he also gave her something to wear because he tore off her clothes, he has many clothes that his fianc¨¦es bought in the past and told him to keep them and was never asked again. They were like spoiled brats when it came to buying clothes, once they bought them they would wear them once or twice before buying new ones, when they are traveling with Julian they would just give those clothes to him to put in the dimensional pouch of his. Well, it dide in hand in a situation like this, Officer Jenny wore the clothes Julian gave her, she was surprised to see these clothes as they were expensive branded ones, she would have to spend several months of her srybined to buy one of these. She didn''t ask where Julian got them from and just looked at him, what happened between them came out of nowhere and quickly got out of hand, they didn''t resist each other and had a lot of fun, Jenny couldn''t deny that this was the best sexual experience in her life. Julian "Now let''s go check those things out" Julian said reminding her about the Mmars and the machines they were trying to operate. Jenny "Ah! The Mmars!" She eximed and quickly looked over the rock they were hiding behind to find the Mmars, but to her surprise, she couldn''t find them anywhere, she only saw the six weird machines lying on the ground there. Jenny "Where are the Mmars? They couldn''t have escaped, they left those weapons right here" She said in surprise. Julian "Don''t worry about the Mmars, I will hand them over to you, they are already captured" He said and looked at the weird machine that Jenny just stated as weapons. Julian "So those are weapons?" He asked. Jenny "Yes, and very high tech ones as well" She said. Julian "Let''s go check it out" Julian and Jenny made their way towards these so-called weapons, once Julian was up close he got a clear look at them, he wondered how these things can be used as weapons. He looked at Jenny for answers. Chapter 1027 - Coumarine City Julian looked at Jenny for answers as he wanted to know what these so-called weapons can do and how they work. Jenny "These are special weapons developed by the league''s best scientists, but recently there was a break-in inside the top-secretb, the scientists said three Mmars broke in and manipted the scientist into transforming the weapons into some kind ofnd altering device. ?? These weapons seem to be the result. As soon as I heard about this, I have been following the Mmars for days now and it finally led me here" She said and looked back at Julian. Julian "So they wanted to change thendscape around here?" Jenny "Not just thendscape around here but the whole world''s environment, if that would have happened, it would bring disaster to all living beings of this world" Jenny answered. Julian ''Now that''s evil'' Julian thought as he wondered how these evil pokemons have better ideas over world domination than humans, well he couldn''t find any reason not to believe this could happen because Mmars are very intelligent pokemons, though their intelligence might not help them operate advanced technologies like humans they can scheme like humans and some might be even better at it than humans like the Mmar leader he just caught. They are also known for having the most powerful psychic abilities of all pokemons, able to lift things that normal psychic pokemons at their level can never achieve. Jenny "So where are the Mmars?" She asked as she is a little world about where they are, if they escape again, things can get out of hand again, these Mmars already caused a lot of trouble, she has been controlled by the leader Mmar before and she doesn''t want anyone to experience it ever again. It was agonizing, being mind-controlled like that. Julian "Gengar, bring them out" Suddenly Julian''s shadow moved and a portal opened, then three Mmars were thrown out of it with cks chains around them, tying them up so they can''t move. Jenny was surprised to see the Mmars in this state, they were shivering, scared shitless out of their mind. Julian "Don''t worry about them, they will get back to normal" Jenny "How? What happened to them?" Julian "You should quickly capture them before they escape" Julian ignored her question and told her to catch them, Jenny nodded and quickly took out some special pokeballs which won''t allow a Pokemon toe out of these pokeballs with their free will. These special pokeballs are used to capture pokemons like Mmars, ones that are dangerous to other people and pokemon and cannot be controlled. She tossed the three pokeballs and captured them, the Mmars didn''t even resist a little, they were petrified by their experience inside the shadow dimension, only Gengar knows what they must have experienced and what he did to them. Once they were captured, Jenny put the pokeballs away and looked back at Julian. Julian "What are you going to do about these weapons?" Julian asked. Jenny "I will inform the police toe and collect these and hand them over to the league, they should be able to figure out the rest" She said. Julian "And what about the Mmars?" Jenny "They will be sent to a pokemon detention center where they will be taken care of" She replied. Julian "Then our work here is done" Jenny "Yes... By the way, where are you going?" She asked with a little shyness in her tone. Julian "Coumarine city, wanna join me?" He asked with a smile to which Jenny quickly nodded her head in agreement. They waited a few hours in the grace tower for the police toe and collect the weapons, Jenny also handed over the pokeballs in which the three Mmars were captured, once everything was done, Jenny join Julian and headed towards Coumarine city. Luckily for Julian, Jenny had a car of her own so he didn''t have to give her a ride on his bike. During their time together, Jenny couldn''t get her hands off Julian, she would do everything to please him and get pleasured by him as well. Once both of them finally reached Coumarine city, they separated their ways, Jenny has a job to do and Julian needs to continue with his gym battles, once they separated their ways, Julian went ahead and got himself a hotel room in the grand coumarine hotel, it is one of the few seven-star hotels in Kalos and Julian wants to experience their service. The hotel staff was very professional, even after seeing his identity, they didn''t lose their cool and escorted him into his room and guided him throughout all the hotel''s procedures and services. Once he was all alone, he sat down and started looking through the inte to find out about his next opponent, the gym leader of Coumarine gym. As he looked more into the gym he was surprised to learn more about it. Chapter 1028 - Ramos And Training As Julian looked into the Coumarine gym, he found out that the gym is actually located on top of the massive tree that can be seen from anywhere in the city, even while entering the city, Julian noticed the massive tree inside the city and was captivated by it. He had never expected the massive tree to be the gym itself, he looked more into it and found out that the gym leader of this gym is an old man named Ramos. ?? Julian started to look into Ramos and find out more about this old man, he soon found many videos of Ramos battling but they were quite old and in these videos, he was quite young, he then dug up some information about Ramos and found out that Ramos retired stopped participating in league battles after finally winning one, no one knows what happened after he won the league. Some people say he defeated the then champion of Kalos after defeating the elite four while others said that he couldn''t get past the first elite four-member, the only thing everyone knows is that after a few weeks from winning the league championship Ramos announced his retirement as a pokemon trainer. The league then gave Ramos an offer of bing a gym leader and he excepted it, bing the gym leader of Coumarine city''s gym. Now Julian was also curious about what happened after Ramos won the league championship, there should have been an official record if he had won or lost against the elite four or the champion of that time but there is no information about it on the inte. After looking into Ramos''s history, he started to look into the current Ramos, the old trainer, he soon found out that Ramos only uses three pokemons during a gym challenge, they might not be the same pokemon but they seem to be of the same species. The three pokemon that he uses are Jumpluff, Weepinbell, and Gogoat, after looking at the choice of pokemon Ramos uses, Julian was indifferent to it, these pokemons didn''t stand out amongst all the power grass type pokemons that are out there but that doesn''t mean Julian underestimates Ramos and his pokemon. Since Ramos is a veteran in his field, Julian knows the battle he is going to have will be a tough one, Julian then looked into the specific pokemons he might be facing during his battle. Like every other gym leader, Ramos had several pokemons of different levels for different trainers ording to how strong or how many badges they have. With Julian having three badges with him right now he expects to battle pokemons around level 30 to 35 and Julian is prepared for it. His pokemons are ready but a little training before the battle is never a bad idea, after looking through his own team Julian decided to use uncher and Honedge for this battle, Honedge is few levels away from evolving while uncher still has a little more catching up to do. As for Porygon, Julian has no idea how to evolve it or if there is any evolution stage for it, Julian will have to figure it out somehow, when ites to Floette he ns to train her a little more and make her perfect her energy control and control over her own moves before evolving here because she just needs a shiny stone to evolve into her final form. Skrelp will be the only one who will have to wait for a long because he will evolve at a veryte stage but Julian didn''t worry about Skrelp, when he reaches around the level he will be evolving, he would have already perfected everything there is to perfect. This is one benefit pokemons who evolve veryte in their life have, they have a lot more time perfecting their craft, while pokemons who evolve very early in their life can''t reach their full potential because they haven''t fully mastered their own energy. That is why Julian always makes sure to train his pokemons the right way, it''s better the train them about using their power than leveling up them faster and hold up on their evolution till they reach that stage, this is where most trainerse short. They rush leveling up their pokemons than training them properly, and even if they do train them properly, they lose patients seeing how other trainer''s pokemons are bing stronger at a very fast rate. And when these pokemons evolve, they are not the bestpared to the ones who were properly trained and held back on their evolution. With everything figured out, Julian walked out of the hotel and went to the nearest forest area to train, he mainly focused on uncher and Honedge, this will be a real test for uncher as he will be facing against pokemons he will have a weakness to and they will also be resistant to his water type attacks. He will have to work harder, luckily for Julian, he didn''t have to push uncher into working hard, with how swiftly Honedge grew stronger every day, uncher just felt more motivated to train harder and catch up to him. When ites to Honedge, even Julian is surprised, he realized that he really struck gold when it came to Honedge, he was just able to catch up to Julian''s training very easily and master everything Julian thought to him after working on it for a little while. Honedge was born to battle and Julian has found the perfect ace for his Kalos team. Chapter 1029 - Events In Coumarine City The training went great, uncher worked his ass off to catch up to Honedge while Honedge''s execution was perfect as always, when he returned back to his hotel room, he got a message from Officer Jenny informing him that she will be staying in the city for a few days. Which allowed him to call her over and have fun, he was d that he didn''t have to spend his night alone in the massive room. ?? For the next three days, Julian did nothing but train his pokemon, look around the city, and turn this Officer Jenny into aplete submissive slut, every time he would find himself all alone with her, he would fuck her and she would put no resistance, she went too deep into it. They even started having sex out in the public, the public restroom, tour bus, and even inside the park at night, the watchman even caught them having sex but didn''t interfere as it was once in a lifetime chance seeing a beautiful officer Jenny getting railed by behind by a man in a mask. He couldn''t help but relieve himself while keeping his distance, he even recorded it but since it was dark, the video was grainy and it didn''t reveal anything that would give of Julian''s identity, as for Jenny, her face was out here, though her expression couldn''t be clearly seen one could easily tell that it was one of the officer Jennies. Julian made sure that the video was safe and not revealing his identity and asked Gengar to take a look, after seeing the quality of the video, Julian went rougher on Jenny and told her that someone was filming them, hearing Julian Jenny got even hornier realizing the fact that someone is jerking off to her being fucked by her master and filming them. The next day, the video of officer Jenny getting her pussy drilled, her hair pulled, her tits jiggling in the air was uploaded online but she was not worried at all because it was not the first video of officer Jennies getting fucked to leak, there were many videos of Officer Jennies and Nurse Joys being fucked on the inte and the safest part about it was no one knew who actually was the Jenny or Joy that was getting fucked. She had nothing to worry about at all, in fact, she got excited finding the video online and reading thements under the video, she got excited at how people called her a whore, a slut and how they will love to fuck her as well, all these men wanting to fuck her excited her and the satisfaction of them not getting any piece of her excited her even more, she felt like an exclusive toy that can only be used by Julian. Julian also found out about the video, so he downloaded and sent it over to his fianc¨¦es, it was not his idea at all, it was theirs, they always told him to film his encounters but he didn''t like the idea at all, but now someone did it for him, he wanted to see their reaction. When all three fianc¨¦es of his got the video, they watched it and realized it was Julian who was fucking Officer Jenny, even though they couldn''t see his face in the dark, they could clearly recognize him, seeing Jenny''s expression as she was being fucked by their fianc¨¦, they got really horny, they even sent back their own lewd videos, Chloe and Daisy sent a video of them sandwiching a big dildo with their pussy while Cynthia sent a video of her inserting a big green dildo inside her pussy whichpletely stretched it out. Julian never realized that his fianc¨¦es were so into all this shit until he sent this video to them, they liked Julian fucking other women, it turned them on. Shaking his head Julian put his phone away and watched Jenny blowing him, seeing his fianc¨¦es'' lewd videos turned him on, luckily his personal slut was right here ready to relieve him off, once he unloaded inside her mouth, Julian left after cleaning up. It was time for him to challenge the next gym, his pokemons were ready and so was he after being refreshed by that blowjob. He made his way towards the giant green tree which seems to be at the edge of the city, when he got there he saw a massive green farm filled with farming pokemons, Mareep and its evolutions, Miltanks, and everything other farming pokemons habitual to this region. Julian realized that the massive tree is actually inside the farm and he has to enter through the front gate, when he entered the farm he was greeted by an old man with a white beard, wearing a green shirt, ck pants, and holding on to massive silver scissors. Julian quickly recognized the old man, he is none other than the gym leader of this gym Ramos. Ramos "Wee young man, what do you want, the freshest of milk to milk products, or the softest of wool, I have it all here" He said with a big smile on his face. Julian "I would like to buy some dairy products and I also came here to challenge the gym" Julian answered. He wanted to buy some dairy products as well as he heard Ramos sells the best milk products, it will help him in his cooking and also preparing food for his pokemons. Ramos was d to hear Julian''s answer, not only was the young man a challenger but was also interested in buying his stuff. Ramos "Hahaha, good, so will you be buying in bulk?" He asked. Julian "Of course, I want the products tost for a month" He answered with a smile as well. Soon both Ramos and Julian walked into the dairy to do some businesspletely ignoring their gym battle for now. Chapter 1030 - Julian Vs Ramos (1) Julian and Ramos spent quite a time discussing the price, the amount of product and kept bargaining for a few minutes, atst Julian had to just give up, he was no match for an old man who has lived for so long. Though Julian is quite rich, his old habit of bargaining has never disappeared. ?? Once the deal was done, it was finally time for them to have their battle, Ramos brought Julian to the top of the massive tree, on his way Julian looked around as he climbed the tree through the stairs that seem to be made from the tree trunk itself. There were long stems that acted like ropes attached to the main branches of the tree, many pokemons were moving around the tree using these long stems, when these pokemons noticed Julian, they would watch him with curiousness in their eyes. They wanted to know who this person is, the pokemons are very friendly with Ramos but wary of this stranger and kept their distance, Julian just smiled seeing these. It was quite a long climb up the tree, Julian was just amazed by Ramos''s ability to climb those long stairs at his age and he wasn''t even tired. Ramos then brought Julian towards the battlefield, Julian looked at the battlefield and didn''t find anything out of ordinary except a few nt ropes there were dropping down from the tree. Since the battlefield is right on top of the tree, the surrounding was filled with branches and leaves, the only opening is the big hole on the top from where all the sunlight came from. Julian took in a deep breath, he could smell the leaves in the air, the smell of the forest was not something new to him as he has spent so much time in different forests around the region. Ramos "What do you say? Do you want to get straight to battling or do you want to look around?" He asked. Julian "I think we should get to battling, I will look around afterward if something catches my attention" Julian replied. Ramos nodded and walked towards the other side of the battlefield and looked at Julian, Julian also took his position on the battlefield and waited for Ramos to start this battle. Ramos took out a small leaf from his pocket and ced it on his mouth and blew on it creating a high pitch whistle, suddenly a man wearing a gardening uniform came out of nowhere and took his position as a referee. Referee "This battle will be a three vs three pokemon battle, during the battle only the challenger is allowed to switch pokemon while the gym leader cannot, the person with no pokemon at the end of the battle will lose" The referee exined the rules and asked both Julian and Ramos to choose their pokemon. Ramos went first and just as Julian had read on the inte he sent out his first pokemon, which is Jumpluff, though this pokemon looks weird and immobile, Julian knows it far from the truth, Jumpluffs are very fast and have a great special defense, the only things theyck are attack and special attack, their defense is above average but it is enough to keep the pokemon conscious on the battlefield. Julian thought for a second before finally sending out his first pokemon as well, uncher. Julian is very careful right now, he knows that his opponent''s pokemon neither has a great attack or special attack but what worries Julian the most are the status moves that Jumpluff might know, status moves don''t need a high special attack or physical attack stat to be effective. Status moves are longsting, will affect their opponent''s performance, and worst of all, they can be stacked up with each other to cause more damage over time which can end a battle really quickly. If status effects like Burn, Poison, and Paralysis were stacked together on a pokemon, it would be like a very old man who is minutes away from dying. With both pokemons on the battlefield, the referee gave the call to start the battle, as soon as the battle signal was given Ramos made his move, he didn''t wait for Julian to make a move at all. Ramos "Aerial Ace" His Jumpluff which was bouncing in the air suddenly rose high up in the air with one jump and rushed towards uncher at full speed, its body disappeared midway and then reappeared right in front of uncher about to hit him. Julian "Protect" As soon as uncher heard the call, he created a forcefield in front of him and blocked the attack, since Aerial Ace couldn''t be dodged, it was best to use Protect, as soon as Jumpluff''s body hit the protective forcefield, it bounced back andnded close to uncher. Seeing this Julian saw his chance and called out another move. Julian "Quick use Vise-Grip" uncher deactivated the Protect and quickly swung his bigger w at Jumpluff, but as soon as Jumpluff hit the ground it bounced like a soft cotton ball and dodged uncher''s attack. Julian was surprised, he didn''t expect Jumpluff to actually bounce as soon as it made contact with the ground, he miscalcted. Since he has never faced a pokemon like Jumpluff before he was caught off guard. Trainers never trained pokemons like Jumpluffs because of their weak attack and special attack so Julian had never encountered one across him on the battlefield until today. Ramos smiled and made his move. Ramos "Jumpluff, use Stun Spore" Ramosmanded. As Jumpluff is still in the air and uncher missed his attack, he found himself in a vulnerable position and Ramos took advantage of it, Jumpluff released sparkling spores all around it. Julian "Water Gun, quick" Julian was caught off guard for sure but he was not letting Ramos win this exchange, uncher raised his w and aimed directly at Jumpluff with Water Gun. The stream of water shot at Jumpluff and hit it, the Stun Spore that came in its way was also washed away but it didn''t stop the move from affecting uncher, he was still not able to dodge it. While Jumpluff was sent spinning through the air, the Stun Sporestched onto uncher and Paralysis took effect. Now that Paralysis is in effect, uncher might not be able to move during a certain attack and leave him vulnerable, it also slowed him down, uncher already had bad speed so reducing his speed even further could cause a little problem. Chapter 1031 - Julian Vs Ramos (2) Ramos''s Jumpluffnded on the ground and bounced multiple times before finallying to a stop, as it has very high special defense and resistance to water-type moves so the damage was minimal. Once Jumpluff got back to its feet, Ramos went on the attack again, with Julian''s uncher paralyzed now, he has a better chance of getting massive hits on Julian''s pokemon. ?? Ramos "Use Leech Seed" Jumpluff shot a small green seed at uncher to entrap him in Leech Seed, once this seed attaches to uncher, it will slowly drain his energy and feed it to Jumpluff and heal it. Julian "Use Water Gun" Julianmanded. uncher tried to shoot Water Gun but Paralysis suddenly hit and he froze on spot. Julian "Use Water Gun" Julianmanded again, if it was not going to work once, he will do it again, Paralysis won''t affect every time uncher moves, just within a second uncher used Water Gun two times and it failed both times, as the seed got near uncher Julian called for another move. Julian "Use Protect" Julian didn''t know if this would work but the probability of it working is very high since uncher failed the first two times. And as Julian predicted uncher was able to use Protect sessfully and block the Leech Seed fromtching onto him. Julian "Now Scald" Julian didn''t know if this would work or Paralysis will take its grip but luckily for Julian, uncher was able to perform his move again, he sted a scalding hot burst of water at Jumpluff. It was a calcted shot, since Jumpluff was jumping in one spot for quite a while uncher was predicting when it will jump again, and now that Julianmanded and he could move, he predicted where Jumpluff will be the moment his attack will make contact. The Scald hit Jumpluff and sent it flying again, Ramos was surprised by this, he didn''t expect the uncher would be able to hit his Jumpluff from such a long distance, his Jumpluff was continuously jumping so hitting it would be very hard but uncher did it anyways. While Ramos was impressed by uncher, Julian wanted to see if Scald put any extra effect on Jumpluff, and to his luck it did, as soon as Jumpluff hit the ground and bounced in the air, its body got engulfed by fire for a second. Burn has taken effect, Julian wanted just this, now that Burn is in effect, Jumpluff cannot do anything but wait till its health is reduced and it gets knocked out. Ramos stroked his beard and started to think of another way to counter Julian, since Paralysis is still in effect, Ramos went for another attack. Ramos "Use Aerial Ace" Jumpluff ignored the pain from the burn and shot towards uncher at full speed, its figure blurred midway and it suddenly appeared in front of uncher. Julian "Use Protect" Julianmanded. uncher tried to put up a force field in front of him but Paralysis hit and he froze, Jumpluff was able tond the Aerial Ace and sent uncher rolling on the ground. Jumpluff bounced back and hit the ground and mes red up around it again burning it for a second, reducing its health even more. uncher doesn''t have a great defense but it was enough to tank that Aerial Ace. Julian "Let''s finish this, use Sludge Bomb" With Jumpluff injured, this was the best time to attack, Julian just hoped that Paralysis doesn''t take effect again. uncher lifted his bigger w and tried to use Sludge Bomb but once again Paralysis hit causing him to freeze on spot, Julian clicked his tongue as this Paralysis was very annoying, it was affecting uncher more than it should. It looks like the Stun Spore was really potent. Ramos "Use Acrobatics" Ramos saw his opening and called his shot, Acrobatics is a very powerful flying-type move, the power of the move will decrease if the user is heavy, the heavier the user the less attack power it has. (A/N - I changed how Acrobatics work, in the description, it is stated at the power of the move doubles if the pokemon isn''t holding any item. Since it is somehow rted to the extra weight of the item, I decided to make it so that the lighter the pokemon, the stronger the impact) Jumpluff jumped high up in the air and shot at uncher while spinning and doing flips in the air, increasing the power of the move by every flip and spin, the flying energy was getting thicker and more concentrated around it. Julian knew that it''s now or never and his win will depend on luck, if Paralysis hits again, he might lose and if it doesn''t he might be able to change the oue of this battle. Julian "Use Crab Hammer" Julianmanded. As Jumpluff got closer to him, uncher lifted his bigger w, Julian kept his focus on the battle and hoped the Paralysis won''t take effect and his hope became reality, Paralysis had already hit him twice before so it didn''t affect uncher again. He lifted his w with full power, concentrating all his energy in his bigger w, once he maxed it out, he punched right at the iing Jumpluff. The collision was massive, the shockwave that was created even shook the main branches of the tree they are battling on. Jumpluff shot out of the smoke created by the explosion leaving a trail of smoke behind it, it crashed on the ground and was out cold, it got knocked out, now they had to wait to see if uncher is still conscious or not. As the smoke disappeared, everyone could see that uncher was barely holding onto it as well, seeing this, Julian smiled. Referee "Jumpluff is unable to battle, uncher wins" Chapter 1032 - Julian Vs Ramos (3) The very first battle between Julian and Ramos got quite intense, of course, Ramos got the edge over Julian at the beginning of the battle and he was caught off guard, Julian was not just prepared for that, but he did ovee the disadvantage he was put in. Though his uncher survived barely, it was still a win. ?? Things could have been much better if he had seen thating, he would have ended the battler faster and in a more efficient way. Ramos didn''t say anything and just looked at his fallen Jumpluff and smiled, he sent it back to its Pokeball to rest and sent out his next choice. Julian knew Ramos''s next pokemon as Ramos never changed his ways, he kept it the same with every trainer he faced against. The next pokemon to enter the battlefield to battle for Ramos is Weepinbell. Julian looked at his uncher and knew he will not be able to continue anymore, he sent uncher back to his Pokeball to rest, he then sent out his Honedge into the battlefield. Unlike Julian''s other pokemon, his Honedge is a prodigy, he catches onto Julian''s teaching so easily as if he already has done this before, this just made it so easy for Julian to train Honedge, and with Gengar teaching him all about ghost energy and aura, Honedge is improving at a very rapid pace. Julian even decided to bring back his Metagross to help Honedge understand his steel-type energy better. Ramos looked at Julian''s Honedge and was surprised, he could tell if a pokemon is exceptional when he sees one and he could tell Honedge is one of those, with how long he has been training pokemons, it always surprised him when he sees pokemons like these as they are so rare. Pokemons like these are not born every year. Ramos "That''s a nice pokemon you got there" He said. Julian "I just got lucky catching one" Julian answered. Ramos "Now let''s see how you have trained it" He said and went for the attack without waiting for a second, Weepinbell shot two Vine Whips shooting at Honedge with full speed, this attack was just to see what Honedge can do, Ramos knows that it won''t be able to deal any damage on Honedge. Julian "Use Fury Cutter" Honedge unsheathed his de and started to spin like a propeller, the edge of his de glowed dirty green in color and as he started to spin faster, it looked like a spinning wheel of death. As the Vine Whip got closer, they hit the fast-spinning de and were chopped off like butter, Weepinbell quickly retracted the Vine Whips, being cut was not a problem at all because those things will regrow in a few hours. Ramos realized that things are going to be a lot harder to take down Honedge. Julian "Use Aerial Ace" This time Julian moved first, with such high attack power Honedge possesses, it would be stupid not to go for the attack even though he does have a better physical defense. Honedge rose high up in the air and dove at Weepinbell at full speed, Honedge suddenly disappeared in a blur and reappeared right in front of Weepinbell catching it by surprise, Weepinbell wanted to use its veins to block the attack but it couldn''t stop it at all. Honedgended his hit and sent Weepinbell flying through the air. Julian "Now finish it, Night sh" As Weepinbell was still in the air, Honedge''s de glowed dark and he rushed towards Weepinbell, hilt first. Ramos "Use Energy Ball" Ramos called out. As Weepinbell is still in the air, it created a ball of grass energy and sent it at Honedge but Honedge was already very close to it, Honedge then turned his de very fast swinging the Night sh at the Energy Ball. The edge of Honedge''s de was so sharp that as soon as it came in contact with the Energy Ball, it split the attack into two, once they split, the two balls hit the ground and the Night shnded on Weepinbell sending it crashing on the ground. Duse rose high and when it settled down, Weepinbell could be seen out cold right in the middle of the battlefield. Referee "Weepinbell is unable to battle, Honedge wins" The referee called the result. In this round Honedge won with ease, with his high attack stat, Weepinbell couldn''t take those powerful hits. Ramos didn''t mind the loss at all, he just smiled and sent his Weepinbell back to its Pokeball and without making Julian wait, he sent out hisst pokemon into the battlefield. A big Gogoat entered the battlefield and looked at Honedge with its big red eyes. Honedge doesn''t show any sign of being intimidated as well, though the opponent seems to be bigger and stronger, he is not worried, his typing gives him the advantage he needs. With both of them ready to battle, there was nothing stopping them, both Julian and Ramos made their move. Chapter 1033 - Julian Vs Ramos (4) Ramos''s Gogoat clearly has a very powerful aura but so does Honedge. Ramos and Julian went for the attack simultaneously. ?? Ramos "Use Zen Headbutt" Julian "Iron Head" Honedge clearly has the better advantage in this match, well he will have a better match-up with most of his battles because of his typing, he is immune to three typing, resistant to eight typing, and weak to four typing. With Gogoat being a Grass-type pokemon it doesn''t have many attacks that could take down Honedge. Gogoat charged at Honedge with its horns pointed at him, its horns flowed pinkish-purple in color, and as its speed increased it left a glowing trail behind it. Honedge also dove towards Gogoat at full speed before putting his de back into his scabbard, the tip of the scabbard being aimed at Gogoat, the scabbard covered in steel energy reflected the sunlighting from the top. When both pokemons collided, it created a powerful shockwave that caused the branches around them to shake violently, the power created by the collision was incredible. As soon as both pokemons separated after the impact, Julian''s Honedge started to glow, Julian knew that Honedge was close to evolving and he expected Honedge to evolve during the battle but it looks like he will be evolving just after the very first challenging exchange between him and Gogoat. As the glow got brighter Honedge started to change, his body started to split into two making two sword-like shapes, when the glow disappeared Doude finally appeared in front of everyone''s sight. Both des of his were out of the scabbard, the purple tails attached to the hilt were moving around violently in the air and the biggest eye-catching thing about Doude is his des, they were crimson red in color. Since he is shiny he is clearly very different from a normal Doude. Julian is happy, now that Honedge has evolved into Doude, his defense has gone very high through the roof so Julian is not worried about the big hits from Gogoat anymore, he is confident enough of his Doude that he can handle it. And his attack has also gone up so he will be dealing some heavy damage, Doude''s other stats also rose up but they didn''t grow exceptionally which could benefit Doude in a battle, like his special defense, it is still very lowpared to pokemons of the same level. It is still a little dangerous because Gogoat has good special attacks as well, so getting hit by one can still be devastating. Ramos also looked at Doude and was surprised but he didn''t linger too much on his thoughts and went for the attack, he knows what he needs to do to win this battle. Ramos "Use Sr Beam" Ramos wanted to go big and end it in one go and as soon as his Gogoat heard his call it started to collect the sunlight Julian ''I want to end this in one big hit'' Julian thought and called his move as well. Julian "Furry Cutter, full speed" Hearing Julian, the two des of Doude connected themselves through their hits and suddenly started to spin, this time the spinning de is even bigger than before. The glowing dirty green de and a hint of red within it looked very menacing. Gogoat is charging up and so does Doude. Since he is continuously using Fury Cutter, its attack power is rising exceptionally, every second its power is rising. After a few seconds, Gogoat is done charging up its Sr Beam while Doude''s Fury Cutter was also maxed up, it was clearly more powerful than the Sr Beam that would being his way. Gogoatunched the Sr Beam full speed, the Sr Beam tore through the air leaving behind shockwaves. Julian "Straight through it" Julian said. As Doude is spinning, the tip of his de cutting through the air was making a humming sound and with Julian''smand, he just shot towards the Sr Beam. As the moves made contact, Doude started to cut straight through the Sr Beam, seeing this, Ramos was shocked, he didn''t expect this to happen at all but it did, since Fury Cutter is a bug type move it could easily overpower a grass type move and on top of that the Fury Cutter was fully maxed, meaning it was four times more powerful than a first stage Fury Cutter. The two beams of Sr Beam hit the ground and destroyed the battlefield while Doude continued to move forward, seeing the iing attack Ramos knew he has to do something, he cannot use any defensive move because Doude will just pass right through it because of his ability No Guard. Ramos "Quick, Grassy Terrain" Gogoat stopped using Sr Beam and released an energy pulse which suddenly changed the battlefield, the battlefield started to release a green aura, Ramos Gogoat has an ability called Grass Pelt which will increase its defense in a Grassy Terrain. Ramos hopes that his Gogoat can tank the hit from Doude, as Doude made contact with the Gogoat, Gogoat was sent shooting through the air, it then hit the ground hard and continued to roll further, once it stopped rolling. Gogoat gritted its teeth and tried its best to get back to its feet, that Fury Cutter really did a number on it, with every bit of strength left in its body, it tried to stand straight but its legs finally gave up and its body crashed on the ground and cked out. Referee "Gogoat is unable to battle, Doude wins" The referee called out. Chapter 1034 - Sea Spirits Den With the referee calling out the result Julian won this battle, Ramos didn''t say much and sent Gogoat back to its Pokeball. Ramos "You did good, take a long nice rest" ?? He said to the Pokeball and put it away, he knew this battle would be a hard one since he is battling against one of the best trainers in recent history, even though Julian hasn''t shown his face to Ramos, he knows who he is. Julian also knew that Ramos knew his identity, Ramos was a smart old man and by now he would have figured it out. Ramos "Ah, I lost, looks like I am getting too old for pokemon battles" He said while his back was a little crouched, he hit his back with his knuckles as if he is experiencing some pain because of his old age even though he is not. Julian "I believe you can go on for a few more years" Hearing Julian, Ramosughed and approached him to hand him over the nt badge, the badge is shaped like a spade with green color and a tree painted inside it. Julian looked at the badge and put it away in his case, now that he was done with the battle, Julian and Ramos made their way down the gym and headed towards the diary, Julian still needs to collect all the products that he bought from Ramos. Once he collected all of them, Julian bid his farewell to Ramos and left and head back to his hotel room, once he settled down on his bed he started to look into other cities that he would visit next and to do that he will have to visit Lumiose city again as it is the center of Kalos, the city that connects to the whole region to one another. He was getting excited to head back to Lumiose city and meet his fianc¨¦es but before that, he wanted to check this ce called the Sea Spirit''s Den, because there are rumors floating around about a very powerful pokemon living there. He also wanted to check out Azure Bay to see if he can find any pokemon there as well, with everything set in his mind he left his hotel room and headed towards Azure Bay, the Azure Bay is right between Coumarine City and the Sea Spirit''s Den. Azure Bay was not like he expected, he thought there would be something that would connect it to thend it is close to but he was wrong, the only way to get to Sea Spirit''s Den was by using a boat. Since the den is not that far there were no ferries that would take people there, instead, people used rented pokemons to get there. When Julian arrived at Azure Bay, he saw an old man sitting near the bay with some water pokemons close to him, seeing Julian approaching him, the old man got up and smiled at Julian. Old Man "Young man, are you heading towards the bay?'' Julian "Yes" Old Man "Then do you want to rent a pokemon?" Julian "Sure why not" Julian said as he looked at all the pokemons that were up for resting close to the old man, Julian was actually surprised to see how powerful these pokemons actually are, they are clearly as strong as some of the strongest pokemons belonging to gym leaders. After a few seconds, Julian decided to go with Lapras. Julian "These pokemons are quite strong" He said to which the old manughed. Old Man "Well, these pokemons have to be strong, the Azure Bay is a very dangerous ce, the bay is filled with dangerous pokemons and to protect people, ride pokemons need to be very strong as well, and there is also the Sea Spirit''s Den the area is infested with pokemons even more powerful. If you n to actually go there, you will have to protect the ride pokemon" The Old Man said and took out an agreement paper and showed it to him, it looks like Sea Spirit''s Den is an off-limit area unless the person renting it can guaranty its safety. If not and the person renting the pokemon did break the agreement, the trainer will be fined a veryrge amount. Julian read the agreement and signed it, now the Lapras belonged to him till hees back here with it and hands it over to the Old Man. Julian climbed up on top of Lapras and realized that it is a girl, he stroked her head to which it let out a pleasant call, Julian smiled and guided Lapras away from the beach and into the bay. As Julian rode Lapras, he saw many trainers and tourists on ride pokemons, these people were either here for sightseeing or catching wild pokemon, the pokemons that could be found here are strong and abundant in number. There are also small inds all over the ce where somend pokemons could be found as well, seeing how crowded this ce actually was surprised Julian, he continued guiding Lapras deeper through the Azure bay and towards the Sea Spirit''s Den. When they got close to the den, Lapras slowed down because it could feel the danger that is in Sea Spirit''s Den, noticing her nervousness Julian patted her head and calmed her down. Julian "Don''t worry, nothing will happen" Julian said with a smile. Lapras felt safe around Julian so she trusted him and move forward, as they got close to the den, Lapras suddenly felt a powerful aura and stopped, she looked at the water in front of her which suddenly started to bubble, and then rise up. Suddenly a massive Gyarados rose up, Lapras is intimidated because the Gyarados is clearly very strong and it doesn''t feel confident enough to defend herself, she looked at Julian worried but Julian just smiled. Julian "Don''t worry, everything will be fine". Chapter 1035 - Inside Sea Spirits Den Hearing Julian, Lapras calmed down and looked at Gyarados, she is still nervous but she stood her ground wondering what Julian will do. Julian just looked at the Gyarados and realized that it was quite strong as well, the pokemons near the Sea Spirit''s Den are actually a lot strongerpared to the ones that are a little further away from it. ?? Julian wondered if there is any secret behind this or just that the rivalry is so strong that these pokemons are forced to improve and get stronger, Julian believed it to beter but he still hoped that he can find something. As the Gyarados roared and tried to intimidate Lapras, Julian just watched and Lapras stood her ground, seeing that its intimidation tactic didn''t work, Gyarados started to charge up a Hydro Pump to attack the intruders. Since it is a wild pokemon it doesn''t care about safety, it is attacking to kill. Julian "Shadow Ball" Julian said suddenly a Shadow Ball shot out from the shadow under Lapras, the Shadow Ball hit the Gyarados right on its open jaw where it was charging up the Hydro Pump, the Shadow Ball exploded creating a powerful shockwave that almost split the water under Gyarados, the massive Gyarados was sent shooting through the air at high speed. The Gyarados then crashed into the water and disappeared from Julian''s sight, Julian knows that it''s knocked out cold and it won''t bother them anymore, Lapras was shocked by this and looked at her shadow but she saw nothing. Julian "Let''s continue" He said and Lapras continued to move forward, after a few minutes Julian finally reached his destination, he saw a small rocky ind in front of him, and right on top of the ind was a cave-like entrance. Just being close to the ind, Julian could feel it, a very powerful aura leaking from inside, Lapras also sensed it and got a little nervous but continued forward, once Julian got close enough to set foot on the ind, he jumped of Lapras''s back and set his foot on the ind. Julian "Stay here and don''t worry about your safety, I have Gengar looking out for you" Julian said and pointed at her shadow, Lapras once again looked at her shadow and noticed two eyes staring at her, she knew that something was hiding in her shadow and now she could confirm it, she then watched Julian as he made his way into the cave. As soon as he entered the cave, Julian could feel the pressure intensify instantly, it was very powerful and suppressing in nature, he continued forward, the pressure became more intense but he could handle it. After walking for a few minutes he finally reached the end of the cave and as soon as he stepped foot on the open area in front of him an Ice Beam was shot at him, Julian jumped back dodging the move as he sensed the danger, he then looked through the edge trying to see what attacked him and to his surprise, it''s a massive white pokemon staring at him with fierce eyes. Julian "LUGIA?" Julian eximed. He didn''t expect to find Lugia here. He looked at the Lugia and thought about this ce''s name, Sea Spirit''s Den, then Julian realized that the Sea Spirit being mentioned is none other than the legendary pokemon Lugia. He then dashed out of the cave and entered the open area, staying inside the small cave can be dangerous because Lugia can corner and st a powerful attack into the cave sweeping him away. As he dashed out of the cave and into the free area, Lugia attacked again but he was nimble enough to dodge it, he rolled and got on his feet and looked at Lugia once again, he didn''t know why it was so aggressive but he needs Lugia to calm down. He needs to either calm it down or suppress it before finding out what is happening, he knows that Lugia is not very aggressive in nature, they are quite calm and collected even in front of humans, they never got aggressive for no reason. Lugia continued to attack and Julian continued to jump around, seeing he has no other choice to suppress it, Julian took out a Pokeball and sent out his pokemon. Kyurem entered the open area and looked at Lugia, it had encountered Lugia before when it lived in Unova but that encounter was nothing special, it was just passing by and didn''t confront Kyurem but this time in its eyes, Lugia is very aggressive in nature and looking for a fight. Julian quickly put up a forcefield around the area to contain the destruction these two can cause, as soon as Julian''s barrier was set up, Kyurem attacked with its own Ice Beam, Lugia also countered with an Ice Beam as well. But Kyurem''s is a lot stronger and colder in nature, under Julian it has grown more powerful, seeing its attack being pushed back, Lugia moved to the side and dodged the iing Ice Beam, Kyurem''s Ice Beam hit Julian''s barrier and froze on the spot creating massive ice crystals on them. As Lugia was distracted, Kyurem suddenly charged at it while using Dragon w, the concentrated Dragon energy around its w caused Lugia''s danger rms to ring off. Lugia quickly used Protect to block the iing attack, Kyurem swung his massive glowing w at the protective shield in front of Lugia to shatter it. The impact of the Dragon w on the Protect was so powerful that it created a shockwave powerful enough to break Julian''s barrier but Julian quickly reinforced it by putting anotheryer over the old one to contain the energy within. Seeing that the battle is going to be more intense, Julian decided to reinforce it even further and put up another threeyers over the old two. Chapter 1036 - Another Legendary The battle between Kyurem and Lugia becamepletely one-sided, Kyurem soon started to figure out how Lugia battles, even though Lugia is weaker than it, it is still a legendary pokemon, its attacks are very dangerous. And even Kyurem with its decent defense and overall growth it still has to be a little careful and not get hit by them. Moves like Sky Attack and Future Sight that Lugia used against it can deal a lot of damage. ?? Once Kyurem got the hang of Lugia''s battle style, it was soon able to counter its every move, with Lugia living in this world for so long, it clearly has a very refined battle sense and so did Kyurem but under Julian''s training it has improved a lot and it could clearly be seen. With the level Kyurem is in right now, it is hard for him to level up and him being legendary also slows down his process, but it was not a bad thing at all. Julian was able to focus on Kyurem''s control over its energy and not worry about it leveling up rapidly like other pokemons. After a few minutes, Lugia seemed exhausted, it was battling an opponent who is stronger and has a better battle sense, if Kyurem wanted it could have defeated Lugia but Julian told it to slow down and not hurt Lugia badly, only exhaust it till it gives up. Lugia shot a powerful Ice Beam at Kyurem and Kyurem also countered with one of his own, like every exchange between them, Kyurem overpowered Lugia and pushed it into a corner. Lugia felt trapped right now, it couldn''t do anything, the opponent was too tough to deal with. Julian watched the battle closely while keeping himself safe, as he was focused on the battle between Lugia and his Kyurem, he didn''t notice something was sneaking towards him from his back. As this thing got close, Julian suddenly felt something was about to attack him, it was his senses that warned him about the danger, Julian quickly stepped aside and saw a ck blur pass right by him andnd on the ground. Julian looked at this ck figure and realized that this one is a Pokemon he has never seen before, the ck pokemon looked like a dog and has some green ents to it, it is standing on four legs and growling at Julian. Julian carefully looked at this pokemon and realized that something was familiar about it to Julian, he then looked at its chest and saw an orange color octagon, Julian realized that the octagon looked simr to the Zygarde cell that he possesses. He then looked at other features of the pokemon in front of him and realized that this pokemon is actually Zygarde itself, the octagon-shaped eyes, octagon patterns on its body, green ents simr to the color of the Zygarde cell that he possesses, everything was pointing at one thing to Julian. This pokemon in front of him is Zygarde itself but Julian didn''t find it powerful at all, at best it was at elite-level pokemon, notparable to a champion pokemon. Seeing Zygarde was hostile towards him, Julian realized that Lugia might actually be protecting this Zygarde, Lugia''s are known for being very protective, sometimes they were spotted guarding pokemons in the wild. Lugia must be doing the same here as well, and Zygarde being a pokemon that is connected to this world itself, Lugia must feel like protecting it, Julian knew that those weird people in orange suits were trying to hunt down Zygarde''s cells and cores to take control over it and use it for some stupid reasons and because of that Zygarde should be in hiding. But this was just a guess and most of the time his guesses were quite urate, Julian looked at Lugia who is on verge of copsing due to exhaustion, and then at Zygarde who is shaped like a dog. Julian "Kyurem, stop. Step Back" Julian gave hismand, Kyurem backed down andnded behind Julian and kept a close eye on both Lugia and the small dog-like pokemon, for some reason Kyurem felt that the little dog was more dangerous than the Lugia itself. Julian "m down, I am not your enemy, you don''t need to worry about me" Julian said with a calm voice, hearing Julian both pokemons in front of him are still wary, they don''t trust him at all. Julian "I know you don''t trust me, I just came here to check the den and nothing else, it was you who attacked me first" Julian said while looking at Lugia, Julian knows that both these pokemons are very smart and can clearly understand him, Lugia for some reason wanted to trust Julian, it knew that it attacked first as it saw a human entering the den. Zygarde told it that it was being hunted and its body parts have scattered all over the region so it cannot fully utilize its power, because of this, Lugia decided to protect Zygarde until the other parts of Zygarde''s body gathered up close to it so that it can depend on its own power to protect itself. Julian then looked at Zygarde and took out a Pokeball, Zygarde backed down a little wary of what Julian is going to pull out, Julian didn''t say anything and released the cell from inside. Julian "This must belong to you" He said while Zygarde looked at the cell on top of Julian''s hand. Julian "Take it, just wanted to show you that I am not your enemy" Julian said and ced the cell in front of Zygarde. Chapter 1037 - Capturing Zygarde As soon as Julian ced the cell on the ground, it rushed towards Zygarde and fused into its body, disappearing from Julian''s sight. As soon as the cell entered Zygarde it seems to have memories of everything that the cell experienced inside its mind, everything that happened to it before and after it met Julian, how Julian saved it from those weird humans in orange clothes and how it feltfortable and protected it felt around Julian. ?? Zygarde realized that this human in front of it is not the enemy, it then told Lugia to calm down as well. Seeing that both pokemons have finally calmed down Julian sighed, he didn''t know that Zygrade already saw everything that he did with the cell, Julian just thought that giving back the cell was enough to gain Zygarde''s trust. Now that things were settled down Julian thought about the current situation, with how things are right now, those idiots called Team re might really cause a lot of trouble if they get their hands on Zygarde. If they are able to locate a single cell on a tree, they can also locate this Zygarde as well, and even if Lugia is there to protect Zygarde, it is not impossible for an organization to snatch a pokemon right under Lugia''s protection. It can be done, even if Lugia is strong enough to fight the organization''s power, it, of course, cannot protect and attack at the same time. Team re, if they find Zygarde, they can capture it. After thinking for a while, Julian decided to see if Zygarde will be willing toe with him until this Team re situation is dealt with. Julian "I understand your current situation and I don''t think you will be safe here, I think you shoulde with me as I will be able to keep you safe until I deal with those idiots, till then it''s best for you to be with me" Julian said. Hearing Julian, Zygarde didn''t know what to do, it turned its head and looked at Lugia who also didn''t know what to do. Julian "Staying here will not only put you in danger but also Lugia will be in danger as well, if these people can trace just a part of your body, they can also trace you here and when they find Lugia, it might be in danger as well. But if you are with me, I will be able to protect you, not just Kyurem but I also have other pokemons who are even more powerful and they can take care of the whole organization, it is better if you stay with me until I deal with Team re" After thinking for a while Zygarde actually agreed to join Julian, though Julian was surprised he was d that Zygarde decided toe with him, if what Professor Sycamore told him about Zygarde is true then in its full form, this pokemon can bring disaster that will be hard to contain. So Julian decided to gets his hand on it before those idiots called Team re does it. Corner the enemies before they can even load their weapons. Julian wants to get rid of Team re before they get their hands on Zygarde and cause trouble for the region, he has seen enough stupid people during his journey and how they had caused quite a lot of trouble. With Zygarde agreeing to him, he took out a new Pokeball and captured it, he then bid farewell to Lugia and left the den, when he was out of the den, he noticed Lapras is still waiting for him, she seemed quite rxed right now as nothing dangerous happened to her. Though this area is known for habituating very aggressive strong pokemons none of them approached her and caused trouble. He smiled and got on top of Lapras and rode back to the bay where he collected Lapras from, once he got there, he handed Lapras over to the old man and went back to his hotel room. He is nning to leave the city tomorrow and head back to Lumiose City. ___________________ The next day Julian woke up early and checked out of the hotel and left the city, just a few miles away from the city and the surrounding changed drastically as he entered the desert. The air was dry and hot, Julian knew he couldn''t ride his bike the whole day in such a condition or his bike will get roasted under the hot sun and air. He took multiple breaks on the way, he also looked for pokemons that live in this desert, he even got really lucky and encountered an exceptional Gible on his way but what was the use of catching one when he already has a Garchomp back in Kanto. He also encountered a Slugma but he was not interested in training it, after three days of riding through the desert, Julian finally saw a ce where he can rest indoor, the Kalos Power nt. This Power nt is powerful enough to power the whole of Kalos and there are workers working there 24/7, Julian could easily ask one of them for permission to stay for the night and clean up after himself. The desert sand has been stuck to him like glue, his clothes are dirty, there is sand between his hair, he couldn''t continue riding through the desert in such conditions. Chapter 1038 - Kalos Power Plant As Julian got close to the Kalos power nt he noticed something weird, there are a lot of high-end vehicles parked outside the power nt, Julian didn''t know why these high-end vehicles were needed for the power nt but he didn''t think much about it. He did see massive wires connected to these vehicles going into the Power nt, Julian didn''t know its purpose, he wondered why would these wires be connected to the Power nt. ?? He put his bike away and headed towards the Power nt, when he got to the get he noticed guards guarding the entrance. When they noticed Julian they stopped him. Guard 1 "What do you need?" One of them asked Julian "I wanted to stay here for the night, clean up then leave tomorrow" Julian said. Hearing him the guard was not surprised, there are many trainers who pass through route 13 ande to the power nt to rest for a day and continue with their journey. But before they let Julian in they need to confirm it with the nt manager, he rang the nt manager about the trainer that just arrived, after a few seconds of talk they looked at Julian and shook their head. Guard "It looks like you can''t go inside, the manager is not allowing anyone other than the staff to get inside the nt" The guard answered. Hearing him Julian frowned, this was the first time he ever heard the power nt not allowing anyone to stay over for the day, every traveler and trainer knew that they could stay in the nt and mind their own business who matter what the condition is so seeing that he was denied, Julian knew that something is definitely up. Julian "Can you tell me about those high-end vehicles?" Julian asked. He wanted to know what is going on right here in the Power nt, he felt something is definitely not right here and he needs to check it out, Julian has always followed his instinct and guts and now they are saying that something is definitely wrong. Guard "I have no idea, these vehicles were here before we even came for our shifts, maybe the guys who were working before us knows about them" He answered. Julian "Do you know where can I find them?" Guard "I don''t know, when we came here for our shifts, the guards who needed to be here were not here, when I asked the manager about it, he said that they had to leave early" The guard replied. Hearing this Julian knew that something is definitely going on inside, he bid his farewell to the guards and got on his bike, and rode off a little further away from the power nt, he then stopped again and put his bike away. Julian "Gengar" Julian called out. Suddenly his shadow started to change shape and became darker and Julian started to sink into the shadow as if he was being swallowed into a quicksand. As Julianpletely disappeared into the shadow, only the dark shadow was left behind, it then started to move and dashed towards Power nt. Julian who is inside the shadow dimension could see what Gengar was seeing, he saw the two guards shared by Gengar''s eyes, Gengar easily passed through them by going underground, they didn''t even notice anything even though they seemed very vignt. Once Gengar was past the entrance, he entered the Power nt and as soon as Julian entered, he was able to find what was actually happening here, he saw people wearing stupid orange outfits guarding every corner of the power nt. Julian ''Those team re idiots, what do they want from the power nt?'' He wondered to himself and told Gengar to make his way towards the manager''s office, after looking around for a while Gengar finally found the manager office, when Gengar got there, Julian saw a Team re member sitting in a chair with a gun in his hand and the opposite end of the gun is pointed at a fat man in a white shirt and brown pants. The fat man is sweating as he is worried about his life, seeing how the man in the orange suit was handling the gun very carelessly, he is worried that he might just pull the trigger and kill him. Julian ''Let me out'' Julian told Gengar, Gengar moved behind the Team re grunt and released Julian, Julian''s head slowly emerged out of the shadow, it was as if he was a demon rising from hell. When the manager saw a man suddenly appearing right behind the grunt, he was shocked, he wanted to say something but he saw Julian cing his finger over his mask telling him to be quiet. The manager just held his breath and didn''t say anything, Julian just stood there and smiled as he looked at what the grunt is doing, he looked down over his shoulder and saw the grunt using his phone, he was stalking some social media models and liking all the photos that appeared on his feed. He even left some pervertedments in some of them, the grunt lifted his head and looked at the manager to see what is he doing, he then noticed the manager was actually looking at something right behind him. Grunt "What are you looking at?" He asked and suddenly turned around. Chapter 1039 - To The Power Room Grunt "What ere you looking at?'' The grunt asked and turned around to see a tall man standing right behind him, though this man is wearing a mask, the grunt could tell he is smiling because of the man''s squinted eyes. ?? He was about to alert everyone but before he could, he was hit on the side of his neck by a chop, his body suddenly went limp and he fell on the ground, Julian caught the gun before it hit the ground as he didn''t want it to identally fire a bullet. The fat man looked at Julian with a nervous gaze as he doesn''t know what this man wants. Julian "You should be the manager right?" Julian asked. Manager "Yes, yes, I am the manager" The manager answered hurriedly. Julian "What is happening here?" Manager "I don''t know, these people calling themselves Team re suddenly appeared and took over the power nt, they knocked out the guards and I have been held hostage by them from yesterday night. I really wanted to go home, my wife and daughter are waiting for me back at home, please let me go" The manager started to beg and cry. Julian looked at the manager and knew that Team re must have scared him out of his mind for him to act like this. Julian "You stay here for a while and inform the authorities, there are still some grunts outside who needs to be taken care of, if you go out you will get killed" Julian informed him. Manager "Then what should I do?" He asked afraid for his life. Julian "As I said, inform the authority and tell me about the leader of this group who came here and where they are" Manager "The leader is some woman with orange hair and is wearing weird goggles, she locked me up here with that grunt and headed towards the power room where most of the nt''s activity happens, the reserve energy for the region is also stored there, if anything goes wrong, the whole nt will blow up destroying cities and viges around the power nt" The Manager warned Julian while telling him about the leader of the grunts present here. Julian nodded his head and told the manager to take his seat back on his chair, he then lifted the unconscious grunt and put him on his chair again, he took out some duck tape and tied his legs to the chair''s legs and his hands to its armrest. If someone looked from outside, no one will be able to notice, he also put duct tape on his mouth so that if he wakes up, he doesn''t alert anyone, he then handed over the gun to the manager so if anything does go wrong, he can protect himself. Julian told the manager to take his seat and slowly looked out of the window to see if there are any grunts around, he noticed a grunt standing next to the door and yawning from boredom. He also noticed two guards at the end of the hall as well. Julian ''This should be easy'' Julian thought and walked close to the door and slowly opened it, the grunt who was guarding the door noticed the door opening and turned his head to see what is happening, as soon as he turned his head, he was grabbed by the back of his head with his mouth shut by his attacker''s hand. He tried to struggle but his attacker was clearly overpowering him, he then felt his head behind smashed against the wall, the back of his head didn''te in contact with the wall, Julian used his own hand as a cushion to lessen the blow. If Julian had smashed his head directly on that wall, the grunt would have suffered some serious trauma, even though Julian used his hand to cushion the blow, it was still enough to rattle the grunt''s brain inside his head and knock him out cold. Julian gently put the grunt down and told Gengar to swallow him up into the dimension, Gengar opened his shadow portal and dragged the unconscious grunt. Julian then walked out of the room and slowly walked towards the grunts who were at the end of the hall, with their backs turned they didn''t notice Julianing towards them at all. Julian got right behind them and smacked the back of their neck with enough force to knock them out unconscious, Gengar then sent them into the shadow realm allowing Julian to continue forward. Julian avoided most of the grunts and headed towards the power room of the nt, it was not very hard to find the power room because he saw the wires that were attached to the high-tech vehicles outside the power nt and he guessed that it must be heading towards power room. Julian followed the wires and on his way, he did encounter some grunts but they were easily disposed of by Julian himself, he could have made Gengar do all the hard work but he was missing the fun of sneaking around and eliminating enemies as he did in his past life during assassination missions. Julian soon found the power room and its door is wide open with multiple power wires going into them, Julian looked inside the room and noticed a few grunts and a woman standing in front of a massive screen. Chapter 1040 - Confronting The Woman Julian looked at the woman carefully as she operated in front of the massive screen, the woman has short orange hair and is wearing a weird goggle just like the manager said but what he didn''t mention is that this woman is quite hot. No matter if the woman is good or bad, a hot woman is a hot woman, she is wearing an orange suit, orange gloves, light orange thigh highs, long orange boots, and a very short stiff umbre skirt which is barely covering her underwear. ?? But that skirt seems to be not doing its job at all because she is bending down showing off her underwear to everyone, it was clearly on disy, her red thong is only covering her vagina while the thin string of her thong has disappeared between her round ass cheek, if someone spread them apart they will be able to see the thong''s thin strip and her asshole. Julian was very surprised by how this woman disyed herself in public, one would never wear a thong under such a short t skirt, just bending a little will expose everything but she is bending close to a 90-degree angle clearly shing her butt cheeks and her thong to everyone, she is clearly doing this on purpose. The grunts who were with her inside the power room also noticed this, the male grunts kept staring at her butt with lustful gaze while she has her back turned on them and the female grunts looked at her and thought of her as a whore and a slut. They were clearly jealous of how the guys were paying attention to her. Julian carefully observed the group, whenever the woman turns around to check on the grunts they would quickly turn around and pretend like they are doing their job, seeing that put a mischievous smile on her face and she would turn around again shing her asscheek to these grunts. Julian observed everything, especially the leader of this group, the perverted woman, she is clearly liking what she is doing, disying her body to these grunts but since she is in a position of power they can''t do anything but put their heads down and not dare meet her eyes. Because of this, she felt like an exotic item, something not anyone could get their hands on her, she was enjoying this special status in her mind while doing her job. Julian then looked around the room and noticed the wires were connected to the massive power reservoir in the middle of the room, it looks like they are stealing all the energy stored in the reservoir. Julian ''So they are stealing energy but for what?'' He questioned himself and then wondered if it is for the ultimate weapon that he found back in Geosenge town, but from what he remembers, the ultimate weapon was powered by the souls of thousands of pokemons and the catalyst was Yveltal for the weapon. Julian wondered if these people are really after the ultimate weapon then how would they use this to power it up? With all these questions in his mind and no answers being answered, there is only one way to find out. Confront the woman inside the power room. Julian [Gengar, take out the grunts] Julian gave hismand. Gengar rushed out of Julian''s shadow and worked swiftly, he quickly pulled every grunt present in the room into the shadow realm without them even making a sound, with everything in the clear Julian made his way into the power room. The woman has no idea that her entire team has been taken care of, she ispletely focused on her current task, she doesn''t even realize that someone is actually standing right behind her looking at what she is doing. Julian looked over her shoulder and looked at the tab she is working on, there are a lot of words that Julian doesn''t understand as he never bothered to learn aboutputer programming. Julian then looked at her butt as it was a better view than what she is doing on her tab, those white bouncy ass cheeks were too eye-catching for him not to notice. She was asking for a grab and with how Julian is, he was having a hard time to control himself, he could control himself but if he wants to let loose, he can. The woman who is working on her pad felt that someone was intensely staring at her butt, it was a women''s intuition, so she decided to tease the person who is staring at her. She started to move her hips and shake her butt, just these small movements were able to make them giggle a little. Julian who is controlling himself was surprised by this. Julian ''Now this woman is just asking'' He thought and decided to confront her or he might really have his way with her and this is not the time, he rubbed his hand and then pped her ass hard. The woman who was doing her work suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ass as she dropped the tab in her hand, she became furious as someone dared to p her ass, she turned around to see who this person is. As soon as she turned around, she got pinned down very fast and she couldn''t even resist, the person who pinned her down her by her neck while her hands were also tied down by this man with his other hand. Her legs were free so she tried to kick him but she felt as if she is kicking a wall. Right now she felt helpless. Chapter 1041 - Interrogating The Woman The woman tried to struggle but it was useless, this man wearing a mask was too powerful for her, she couldn''t even take out her pokemons because this man has her hands tied. "MEN, GET HERE QUICK, CAPTURE THIS MAN" ?? She shouted out of her lungs, trying to alert any grunt that is close by. Julian "No use of shouting, all of your men have been taken care of, it''s just you and me here, no one wille to your rescue" He uttered coldly. The woman got scared a little bit, the coldness in the man''s voice scared her. "Who are you?" She asked. Julian "You don''t need to know who I am, your name?" Julian asked her name but she doesn''t want to y Julian''s game and decided to keep quiet, seeing that this woman was not willing toply with his questions, his eyes became colder. He has no sympathy for this woman, even if she is hot, she is clearly not innocent or a good person, he wouldn''t mind hurting her to get some information out of her but he has something better to get information out of women but for now, he restrained himself. He tightened his grip around her neck and started to choke her, the woman suddenly felt her neck being squeezed, she felt the pain of her air pipe being pined against her vertebrate. She looked at the man''s cold eyes and noticed the cold look in them, she realized that if she doesn''tply with this man, he will really kill her and she doesn''t want to die at such a young age. "St...stop, I will tell...please don''t kill me" She blurted out a few words saving her from disaster, what she doesn''t know that if she had held on a little longer, Julian would have let her go, she is an important figure in Team re, after all, she has too much information that Julian could extract. It''s just that Julian has learned how to not disy his emotions, he can manipte his victims just by his expression, people like this woman have never experienced real danger so they are easy to scare. Julian "Your name" "Aliana" She answered. Julian "Your position in Team re?" Aliana "I am an Admin" She answered. Hearing that she is actually at admin, Julian was surprised but excited at the same time, he caught an admin, her position in team re is an important one and if he can take control over her things will be very easy for him. But he doesn''t have time to work his magic right now. Julian "Who is your leader?" He asked. As soon as Julian asked her this question, she hesitated, she is in a dilemma right now, if she answers she dies, if she doesn''t answer she dies, she doesn''t know what to do. Seeing that she was hesitating, Julian started to squeeze her neck again, she panicked and wondered if she should tell Julian about her boss but she decided not to. If she tells she might survive today but she will die a much horrible death, her boss was a sociopath and the boss would take his time disposing of her but if she dies right now, it''s better to die by choking than dying under her boss''s hand. Her eyes became red as her neck was squeezed tighter, she started to suffocate, but she also started to feel weird, she started to get horny as this man in front of her choked her. Aliana ''I can''t believe I am getting horny right now, is being choked my hidden fetish?'' She wondered to herself. Aliana ''Well at least this guy is hot...What the fuck am I thinking? I am about to die and I am having hots for my killer'' She thought. As Julian squeezed her neck tighter, he realized that she has given up and actually wanted to die, he didn''t expect that she would rather choose to die than out her boss, Julian didn''t think she was a loyal servant. He was certain that she is not a loyal servant so he wondered why she would die than tell him what he wants to know. Julian then loosened his grip on her neck as she was on verge of suffocating, Aliana took a massive gasp of air as soon as she felt the grip around her neck loosen up, she got confused and looked at the man. She was certain that she was about to die. Aliana ''Does he want something else? Did he change his mind?'' She wondered. Julian "Looks like I have topletely break you" He said. Hearing him a shiver ran down her spine, she wondered what this man was about to do to her. With Aliana pinned down and has given up resisting him, he used the hand which he was using to choke her to take away all her pokeballs and her guns and put them away, once she was all clear and no dangerous objects on her, he made his move. He used his free hand and suddenly pressed her vagina with it, as soon as Aliana felt Julian''s finger press on her vagina, she felt an electrifying sensation run down her whole body. Aliana ''What was that? Why does it feel so good?'' She thought. Chapter 1042 - Like Or Dislike? Julian wanted Aliana under his control and the best way to make her do so is to make her his, he has the natural ability to make any woman his, make thempletely loyal from body, soul, and mind. He looked at Aliana''s face as she let out a loud moan as soon as he pressed on her vagina but he was not satisfied with her expression because her massive goggles are blocking her eyes so he removed them and took a careful look at them. ?? He realized that these are not just normal goggles at all, they are very high-tech, to make such devices, the leader of Team re must have spent a lot of money on these devices. He put the goggles away forter observation, right now he wants to focus on the dish that is in front of him, he is finally able to fully see Aliana''s face, and he is not disappointed, her eyes are big, bright, and sharp making her face look very sexy. Any guy would want to be with her just for her face, Julian also looked at her face and realized that he has captured a beauty, and just like his pokemon collection, his collection of loyal servants is about to increase again. Julian watched her expression change every time he moved his finger over her thong stimting her clit, the expression on her face is priceless. Aliana ''Why am I getting so wet right now? This sensation, I have never felt before, not even when I do it to myself or while using a big toy, this man is having his way with me and I am enjoying it. Do I like getting fingered by unknown men?'' She questioned herself. Julian looked at Aliana''s face, she has a deep blush on her cheeks, her eyes are watery while her mouth is wide open, and a tiny amount of saliva is dripping out from the corner of her mouth. Julian smiled behind his mask and pulled her thong aside revealing her wet pussy, without wasting any time, he put two of his fingers right inside her and started to finger her from inside, hitting her g spot. Aliana "~NOOOOOOO~" She moaned even louder than before. Aliana "~faster, faster, faster, I am gonna cummmmm~~~" She moaned louder and louder as Julian increased his speed, she arched her back, bit her lower lip, rolled her eyes, and tried to dig into the table with her fingers as she was about to reach the most intense climax of her life but it all came crashing down as Julian stopped. She was stunned and taken back for a second and looked at Julian in confusion. As Julian was about to make her climax, he suddenly stopped and frowned as he heard multiple footsteps rushing towards his direction, he realized that if he makes here now, things might be very unexinable for him, so he stopped. Aliana "Why did you stop.... ~please continue~" She begged. Just a few minutes before she was unsure about what Julian was going to do but now she really wanted to finish, the pleasure she felt was something out of this world. Julian removed his fingers from her dripping wet vagina and made her stand back on her feet, he then put his sticking finger inside her mouth and made her lick them clean, Aliana didn''t even hesitate and grabbed his hand and started to suck on his fingers. Julian "You are too unlucky, the police are here to take you away" He whispered into her ear and removed his finger out of her mouth leaving a trail of saliva behind, Aliana was disappointed as she heard that she won''t be able to climax, but then it finally hit her, she realized that she was going to be arrested. Julian then suddenly turned her around and put her hands behind her back and locked them up with spare handcuffs that he has with him all the time, as soon as he did so the rushing of footsteps got closer and a group of people in blue uniform rushed in along with the fat manager that Julian had saved before. Julian got a little carried away ying with Aliana that he forgot about him telling the manager to inform the authorities, but as Julian looked at the group in front of him, he saw a familiar face. Officer Jenny was standing along with other officers, and not just any Officer Jenny but the one who he had conquered, the same one who got filmed while having sex with him in the park. Julian ''Looks like I still have a chance'' Julian thought and looked at Aliana who is now realizing that she fucked up, she got so carried away by the pleasure that she lost her chance to escape, Julian was not even pinning her down, he had already released her and was only fingering her. Now she will be put in jail, well she is actually not that worried about going to jail as her boss can easily pull some strings and bring her out of the jail, what is really the reason for her regret is because the other admins will use this event to berate her with every chance they get. Team re''s power structure is simple, on the top is the boss who controls everyone, and below him are the seven admins, five females and two males, and she hates four of the female admins to the core and vice versa. There is a very toxic rivalry between all of them and they always want to up each other, now that she has been caught she will never hear the end of it. She looked at the man holding her with aplicated gaze, this man gave her the best pleasure she had ever felt in her whole life but he will also be the reason behind her fall as well. After thinking for a second and clearing her mind, she knew she didn''t like this man, the pleasure of few minutes cannot save her from the embarrassment she will face in the future. She gritted her teeth as she saw the police making their way towards them. Chapter 1043 - The Police Arrives Officer Jenny was informed about the Kalos Power nt being hijacked, knowing how big of a problem it really is, she called for air support and brought her best squad members along with her. It took only half an hour to arrive at Kalos Power nt from Lumiose city through the air, when she and her squad got there, she only saw two clueless guards in front of the entrance, she doubted if the information she got was false or not but her doubt was soon cleared up as she asked the guards to confirm the manager. ?? When the manager heard that the police are here he informed the guards to let them in, Officer Jenny rushed in with her squad beside her, holding a handgun in her hand and a Manectric beside her. As they rushed into the power nt they noticed that it was quite empty, when they made their way towards the manager''s office, they noticed a person wearing an orange outfit sitting on the chair and a fat man sitting opposite to him. Officer Jenny told her squad to bolt into the room and surround the man in the orange suit, one of the squad members rammed through the door while others rushed in with their guns pointed at the orange suit man. The manager was scared out of his mind as he suddenly saw the door being mmed down and people with guns rushing in, seeing that they were police, he sighed and got off his seat. Manager "Officer, you are finally here" He said with a relief filled in his voice. Officer Jenny nodded and walked towards the orange suit man and noticed that he has been tied up tightly, though he is awake he has no way of escaping, seeing officer Jenny, the man got scared as he knew he was fucked. Jenny "What happened here?" She asked the manager. Manager "Yesterday night, these people called Team re rushed into the powernt and captured every guard, I was held hostage and told to make sure that everything would seem normal. But then just an hour ago, a man wearing a mask came out of nowhere and knocked out this man and tied him up, he also told me to inform you guys about the current situation and asked me about the leader of the group and walked away" The Manager started to exin to officer Jenny everything in detail, hearing the manager''s story Jenny understood where there are no Team re members around and when she heard about the description of this man, she thought of Julian as they were very simr. Jenny "Where did this person right now?" She asked. Manager "He should be in the power room but I don''t know what happened to him, from my guess the room will be heavily guarded" The Manager said. Jenny "Guide us there" She said and made the manager guide them towards the power room, when the whole squad got there, they saw a woman wearing an orange dress being held by the man the manager described, it looks like this man was able to take out Team re all on his own. But unlike others who didn''t know who this person is, Jenny clearly knew who it is, just by looking at his eyes she could tell it was Julian. She stepped forward and acted like she didn''t know who Julian is but still was very respectful towards him because he is her master. Jenny "Thank you for your help, capturing these terrorists" She said and bowed a little. Julian just nodded and pushed Aliana towards Jenny, Jenny grabbed Aliana and signaled her men to take Aliana away. Julian "Take these people away as well" Julian said and suddenly a ck portal opened up and quite a number of men and women in orange suits came out, all of them were unconscious, seeing all these people, the police squad was shocked. They couldn''t believe a single person was able to capture all of these grunts. Jenny "Quick, put them in cuffs and take them away, take the manager and get his statement as well" Jenny said and sent everyone away leaving only Julian and her behind inside the room. Julian "You did good" Julian said and got close to her, grabbed her by the hips, pulled her closer, and gave her a kiss as a reward for keeping her calm in front of her squad and not revealing his identity, he also grabbed a feel of her th ass and squeezed it tightly. Jenny let out a moan and Julian stopped kissing her. Julian looked at her face and knew that Jenny wanted it right now, he could just see those eyes filled with lust. Julian "You slut, you are getting horny, I believe you wouldn''t even find if I fucked you right here in front of your squad members" He whispered into her ear as he felt her panty getting drenched down there, Julian wanted to y with Jenny as he couldn''t have fun with Aliana but it was not the time. Julian heard a squad member was about to walk in so he made Jenny stand right beside him while he lifted her skirt from behind and put his hand inside her underwear to get a nice feel of her bare ass cheek, he even went a little deeper and stuck a finger inside her pussy. Jenny let out a lite moan as she felt Julian''s finger inside her, she pulled her skirt down from the front so as not to reveal her underwear. One squad member walked in and noticed hismanding officer, Officer Jenny, standing right beside the man that helped them capture the Team re members. Jenny''s face is a little red but she maintained herposer and looked at the squad member. Jenny "What is it?" She asked. Squad Member "Mam, we put away the Team re members and took the manager''s statement, we are waiting for your next order" He said loudly. Jenny "Good, yo-" As she was about to continue speaking, she felt her whole body shiver as she felt her g-spot being stroked by Julian, she quicklyposed herself again and continued to talk. Jenny "*cough* *cough*, you can leave, I still have to get a statement from this gentleman" She coughed and covered up for her sudden halt, she is such a good actor that her squad member didn''t notice her weird behavior at all, he just saluted and left leaving Julian and Jenny all alone again. As soon as the squad member left, Jenny''s legs went weak as her body fell on top of Julian''s. Julian sped up his finger and a loud moan came out of Jenny''s mouth as she released a stream of juice down the floor, she squirted and had an earth-shattering orgasm. Julian "That was your reward for doing so good, now you need to do something else as well" Julian said and removed his hand from her underwear, Jenny fixed her skirt and looked at the mess she left behind. Jenny "I can do anything for master" She said with a firm and confident voice. Julian "That woman, the leader of this group, I want her inside the jail for at least two weeks, no matter what happens she cannot be released until Ie to visit her". Chapter 1044 - Calling Angela When Julian presented his request to Jenny, she was quite surprised, she didn''t know what Julian wants to do with this woman but she is in no position to question his order but she doesn''t have enough power to fulfill Julian''s request. Jenny "But master, I don''t think I have that much power, without the higher-up''s permission, I cannot keep her locked up in there, the best I can do is three to four days if someone pays up for her bail" ?? She said. She is a little disappointed that she cannot fulfill Julian''s order. Julian "How powerful does this higher up has to be up in the rankings to keep her inside the jail for more than two weeks" Jenny "Only themissioner has such power but they will also have to be very careful while giving out such orders, keeping someone for more than two weeks even after the bail is tough" Julian "But he can do it" Jenny "Yes" Julian "How is thismissioner in person?" Jenny "He is old, not that corrupt but he still does some shady business" She said. Julian "What about his sexual life, is he interested in women, men?" Jenny "Definitely women, he has affairs with many Officer Jennies, even though he is old, he has several lovers and he is still active" She said. Jenny knows all these because she is a Superintendent and she knows some of the secrets of her direct superiors, well at her level she needs to know about the inner working of job and who are the ones that control everything and their habit. Julian "Give me his information, I think I know how to deal with the current situation, just make sure to keep than woman locked up for at least three to four days, I will take care of the rest" Julian said. Jenny nodded and quickly followed up with everything she knows about themissioner, after looking through themissioner''s deed, Julian was quite surprised, for an old man he had a lot of lovers, a man of culture in some people''s eyes while a stud in others. Well, Julian didn''t care, he needed this man to release an order which will benefit him. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he made a call to one of his most important servants, Ang, she was a weapon that was very valuable to him, not only is she good withw and order, she is also an excellent spy. She has been working for him and is still undercover as a Team Rocket member and nobody has found out, she is also an extremely powerful trainer as well, her Zoroark''s ability to cast powerful illusions was exceptional as well. "Master!" As soon as he made the call it was answered by Ang, he could hear the excitement in her voice. Julian "Hm, Ang, I have a task for you" Ang "Anything for you master" She replied happily. Julian "But first, how is the situation with Team Rocket there?" Ang "Nothing much on the surface but they have been increasing their influence in the underworld though, Giovanni''s influence is much greater than ever before" Julian listened and didn''t think much about it, no matter how influential Giovanni bes or how much money he umtes, it won''t be able to stop Julian and his pokemons, what Julian does worry about Giovanni is his constant chase for Mewtwo. Julian "What about Mewtwo, any info about it, and has Giovanni caught on to it?" Ang "No, there seems to be sightings of Mewtwo but it only led to dead ends, Giovanni is quite frustrated about it" Julian "Good, keep me informed about anything rted to Mewtwo and also keep me updating on the matter rted to the Underworld" Ang "Of course, master" She said happily. Julian "Now for your task, I need you toe to Kalos and manipte themissioner of police into giving out an order, I want it done within three days" Ang "It will be done, master" She said with an affirmative voice. Julian "I will send you the details of themissioner and what you need to do, how you handle the situation will depend on you" Ang "Don''t worry master, I will be done with no error" Julian "If you do your job properly, there will be a reward at the end" Julian said and ended the call, on the other side of the call Ang got pretty excited about the reward, she soon received the information about themissioner and got to work. She left the Team Rocket headquarters, headed to the airport, and quickly made her way to Kalos, but before that, she did inform Giovanni about her going to Kalos. Hearing this, Giovanni assigned her a mission to keep a close eye on Team re. With the current influence that Giovanni had in the underworld, he heard about the doings of Team re but he didn''t know what they were nning, Team re was quite powerful even without the support of the Underworld so Giovanni was wary of their existence. He also knew that the monster named Julian was also in Kalos and they will soon cross paths, he knew that Team re will be destroyed but before they get destroyed and their project gets shut down, Giovanni wanted to learn about it and maybe continue with it in secret. Handing over the task to Ang, Giovanni knew he would at least get something from it, Ang was his best worker after all. Smart, sexy and ruthless, the perfectponents for an elite member of Team Rocket. Chapter 1045 - Back To Lumiose With Ang on the move Julian had nothing to worry about, he can now continue on his way towards Lumiose city and challenge the Lumiose gym for his fifth battle. He looked at Jenny who is still standing here waiting for his permission to go. ?? Julian "You can go now, I will stay here for the day" Julian said. Jenny nodded and bid farewell to Julian and walked out, once she got out she joined her squad and flew away back in the airship that they used toe here. Julian watched as the airship left and then went to visit the manager, the manager was very friendly with him and was very happy when he heard that Julian will be staying over for the night, he was scared out of his mind till now and with Julian being here, he has nothing to worry about. He cannot go home now because he is the one who is burdened to handle all the problems left behind by Team re, the staff members that were captured and locked up were freed by the police and sent back to their home, the manager also contacted his family and exined them about his situation. Other staff members were quickly called into work on the power nt as it can be disastrous if something is about to happen in the power nt and there is no one to monitor it. Julian was guided towards the guest room by the manager himself, he even told Julian to call him if there is any problem, well Julian didn''t like the special treatment but he wouldn''t refuse it if he really wanted something, he just nodded his head and sent the manager away and went straight into the bathroom to clean himself up. After he was done cleaning himself, he directly went to bed and slept for hours. When he opened his eyes again, it was already morning, he took out his pokemons and fed them their morning breakfast, andpleted his morning routine as well, once he was done, it was time to leave. When he was about to leave, the manager escorted him towards the entrance of the power nt. Julian looked outside and noticed the high-tech vehicles belonging to Team re is still there. Julian "What are these vehicles still doing here?" He asked. Manager "They still have all the reserve power that was drained from the power room, it will take time till it''s stored back into the power room, the authorities have to wait before taking the vehicles away" The manager said. Julian "I see" Julian said understanding the current situation and took out his bike and rode off into the desert once again. It took another three days before Julian was finally able to reach Lumiose city, he was once again covered in dirt and he needed and good cleaning from head to toe, he informed Chloe and Daisy about his arrival so they seem to have taken a day off from their work to wee Julian. When Julian entered Lumiose city, he didn''t see much of a difference at all, everything was the same when he left, well he didn''t expect to see many changes anyway, he made his way towards his fianc¨¦es'' apartment. The advantage ofing to Lumiose city is that he doesn''t have to rent a hotel, he can spend as much time he wants here and live with his fianc¨¦es. As he got to the apartment he was stopped by the guards and he had to show his id for them to let him in, once he got in he made his way towards his fianc¨¦es'' room, he is as eager to see them as they are to see him. He got in front of their door and rang the doorbell, the door was opened instantly with both Chloe and Daisy jumping into his arms and giving him a tight hug. Julian "I am still dirty, let''s get in first" He said and carried both of them like babies as they didn''t want to let him go at all, it wasn''t a herculean task at all so he has nothing toin about, he was just happy to see them. He then put both of them on the couch and sat between them. Chloe/Daisy "We missed you" They said while hugging both of his arms tightly. Julian "Ok, Ok, let me clean up first, I am covered in sand" He said and forcefully had to pull his arms out of their grip, he noticed that both of them have be quite strong. Julian entered the bathroom leaving Chloe and Daisy alone, both of them looked at each other and smiled mischievously, they quickly removed their clothes and walked into the bathroom as well. A minuteter both of them started to moan loudly..... __________________ After an hour of workout session inside the bathroom, all three of them walked out of the bathroom with smiles on their faces, both Chloe and Daisy supported themselves by holding onto Julian''s arms. He ced them back on the couch and put on somefortable clothes Chloe "So tell us, how was west Kalos, tell us everything from your adventures to your naughty business" Soon Julian was bombarded with all types of questions, from his battles to the ces he visited, the food he ate, and also about women he met on the way. When they heard that Jenny was the only one Julian could see they were quite surprised by how Julian only captured one woman, they thought he would have at least three to four by now. He couldn''t help but shake his head, his fianc¨¦es think too much of himself, he likes women but doesn''t go around fucking everyone he sees. Chapter 1046 - Angelas Successful Mission After spending hours telling everything about his adventure to Chloe and Daisy, they got pretty excited hearing everything, they were surprised when they heard Julian telling them about meeting a man more than a thousand years old, his encounter with legendary pokemon, Yveltal, and Zygarde. They were even a little jealous, even with all the time that they have spent living in Kalos, they have not experienced Kalos like Julian, they understood why Julian liked to travel so much, with so many unique encounters one will never have a boring day but this kind of lifestyle could only suit particr people like Julian. ?? Both Chloe and Daisy have traveled along with Julian and they were not built for it, if Julian was not there alongside them, they would have given up. Chloe "How long do you n to stay?" She asked. She didn''t want Julian to leave in two to three days. Julian "I will stay for a week or two, enjoy my days with both of you" Because of his answer, he was showered with love and kisses from both Chloe and Daisy, if a single, virgin person saw Julian right now they will curse his whole family tree because of how lovey-dovey he was being with Chloe and Daisy, people have a hard time finding one girl and here Julian is enjoying with two women, one in each arm. Julian then spent the whole day along with Chloe and Daisy, from eating food to watching TV, he spent every minute with them. ________________ The next morning he woke up with two beautiful naked women beside him, yesterday night was crazy as ever, he woke up and made both of them some breakfast and woke them up, they still need to get to work, unlike him they couldn''t be idle. After eating the breakfast cooked by Julian, both of them were energized after yesterday night''s crazy sex. Both of them quickly got ready and left to work leaning Julian behind all alone, he then sat down and wondered what he will do for now. He still needs to know if Ang was able to do her job, just as he was thinking about he, he received a message from none other than Ang, he looked at the message and it said that her mission was sessful. She was able to make themissioner give out an order to confine Aliana, the team re admin in cell for two whole weeks. She was able to track down themissioner in an exclusive VIP club, being one of the sexiest women in Julian''s life there was no way themissioner would not fall for her, within just an hour she was able to seduce the old man. The old man took her to his personal residence where he wanted to fuck her as soon as they got inside, Ang being the expert she is didn''t let that happen, she made the old man wait for an hour making him restless while she spent the hour in the bathroom looking at her master''s photos on the inte. After an hour she sent her Zoroark to create an illusion of her, the old man got the satisfaction of fucking Ang in his head and Ang didn''t have to even make a move, within two days she had full control over themissioner, the old man was so much in love with Ang in just two days that he even wanted to marry her and even told her that he would name every property of his under her name. Ang just smiled when he said so, she did take advantage of her situation and went out shopping and bought a lot of expensive goods from the old man''s money, and when it was time to take action she made her move. She told themissioner about the woman named Aliana and how she screwed her over and stole her pokemon as well, when the old man heard about this he was furious, he looked into this woman named Aliana and found out that she is actually a Team re member and was actually in jail. Seeing this he wanted to punish Aliana by calling his friend, the chief judge, and give her a life sentence but Ang stopped him and told him that she doesn''t want such severe revenge, she told him to just put her in jail for two weeks. Seeing this the old man was moved knowing how considerate and kind-hearted Ang is, this made him love her even more, he quickly gave the order and made sure that no matter what happens Aliana will be behind bars for two weeks even if her bail is paid. Once this order was passed, Ang didn''t waste any time and sent Julian that the mission was sessful, she then informed him about team rocket''s n as well. __________________ Back to Julian, he looked at the messages sent by Ang, he was not at all surprised to learn that Giovanni asked Ang to keep an eye on Team re. Julian [Do as he said and also keep me informed if Team re is up to something, and good work] He sent her the message. Ang received the message and was very happy with the praise, and now it was time for her to leave, the old man will be heartbroken but she has broken several hearts throughout her life. The best way to disappear from someone''s life is to die and she has to stage her death again, she told the old man that she would feed him her cooked food once he gets back from work. Ang waited until the old man got close to his home, once she saw him outside the window, she set up the explosion. The old man was scared as he saw his whole house blow up, he then realized that the love of his life was in there, he went on his knees and started to break down, Ang watched everything from the side with a disguise on, she did feel a little bad for the old man but she didn''t care, the only man in her life is her master. Chapter 1047 - Upgrade Ang left the scene when the fire department found an extremely burnt body inside, this body belonged to the woman she impersonated. Getting a dead body with no death date was not hard for her at all. She had done all the preparation before she even arrived in Kalos so the "ident" was quite easy to set up, now that it is over, she needs to find a way to infiltrate Team re and so her work began. ?? _________________ Back to Julian, he put his phone away and decided to check on Jenny and see what is going on her side, he called Jenny and asked her about Aliana. Jenny informed him that Aliana will be held up in jail for more than two weeks and the other Team re members will be sent to federal prison, nobody cared about those small fries, the boss of Team re paid only for Aliana''s bail but he was surprised to find out that she cannot be released for at least two weeks and the reason why she is being kept for such a long time is that stealing public property is a severe crime. Electricity being one of the most important resources for humans, the charges put on Aliana was massive, the boss didn''t think much of it, he knew he was taking a huge risk by stealing power, well it didn''t matter to him, the bail money was paid and they will have to let his subordinate go and once she is released there is no way she is going back to jail again. Julian is quite happy with how things are going, he ended his call with Jenny and decided to continue with his day, he nned to visit Professor Sycamore and learn a little more about Porygon. Unlike his other pokemons, the development of Porygon was very swift and seamless, while his other pokemons would sometimes struggle to level up or is unable to understand how to use a move, Porygon never suffered such things, it only took Julian once to exin it and Porygon would learn it. Since Porygon is a pokemon made of programs it can execute everything if Julian''s instructions are perfect as well, Julian wanted to know if Porygon can evolve, even though Porygon''s program has been perfected by the system, its power will start tockpared to his other pokemons when they reach their final evolution. So Julian was a little worried about it but even if it doesn''t have an evolution, Julian can find a way to make Porygon stronger. He then locked the room and headed straight towards Professor Sycamore''sb, when he got there he saw the same building he had seen before but now it has been repairedpletely, the walls that were broken by the rampaging Garchomp waspletely fixed and now was reced by a beautiful design. Julian walked into the building and was greeted by Sophie, Professor Sycamore''s assistant. Sophie "Mr. Julian!" Sophie eximed as she saw the man in front of her, tall, wearing a ck coat, ck face mask, she had seen him once before so she immediately recognized him. Julian "Assistant Sophie, I would like to meet with Professor Sycamore" Julian said. Sophie "I will inform Professor, please wait for him in the pokemon area" She said and told Julian to stay in the pokemon area, he nodded and made his way towards the pokemon area, like before, this ce is filled with pokemons everywhere, from treetops to underwater, Julian just observed them and their habits. Julian didn''t have to wait for long because Sycamore came after a few minutes and greeted him. Sycamore "Mr. Julian, wee, what brings you here today?" He asked. He was surprised when he heard from Sophie that Julian hase to visit him. Julian "I actually came here to discuss something about Porygon" Julian said. Sycamore "Oh, let''s head to my office, we can talk there" Sycamore guided Julian into his office room, once they both sat down Julian gave him Porygon''s Pokeball, Sycamore couldn''t hide his excitement as he was looking forward to it, he wanted to know how much Porygon has grown under Julian. He carried Porygon''s Pokeball to hisputer and connected it to look at Porygon''s data, he was then shocked by seeing the improvements in Porygon''s stats, he thought that there would be improvements but these improvements were beyond his imagination. Sycamore is speechless. Sycamore "How did you train it?" He asked. Julian "Just like how I train my pokemons, Porygon just learns things faster than others due to its specialty" Julian said. Sycamore "I understand, so what do you want to discuss?" He asked. Julian "About Porygon''s evolution, can it evolve?" Julian asked. Sycamore "Ah, about that, I was just about to contact you regarding Porygon''s evolution and for your question, yes, it can evolve, I have an upgrade software which will allow Porygon to evolve into Porygon2" Sycamore said. Hearing the answer, Julian was happy, if Porygon can evolve he won''t have to put extra attention on it and neglect his other pokemons. Julian "So do you have it right now?" Julian asked. Sycamore "Yes, I have, do you want your Porygon to evolve now?" Julian "No, I will do it myself when I feel it is appropriate timing" Julian said. Though Porygon is ready to evolve Julian didn''t want to evolve it right now using the upgrade, he wanted to check it and improve the upgrade with the help of the system so that his Porygon2 will still be in a perfect state. Chapter 1048 - Young Trainers, New Pokemons, Choices Hearing Julian''s answer, Sycamore nodded and got up and unlocked the cab under his desk and took out a drive from it, and handed it over to Julian. Sycamore "The update file is inside this drive" ?? He said while handing it over to Julian, Julian took the drive and took a careful look at it, he expected something bigger but now that he thinks about it, Porygon doesn''t need any external element, it just needed codes to upgrade and evolve. Julian put away the drive and talked with Professor Sycamore for a while, after an hour Julian decided to leave and made his way out of Sycamore''s office, on his way out his attention was grabbed by something. He saw a few new trainers were about to choose their very first pokemon, Julian smiled and walked towards them, Sophie saw Julian and simply nodded to him with a smile, he also did the same, even Sycamore joined in. Julian looked at the young trainers in front of him as well, these four young trainers are quite excited as they are about to get their very first pokemon, Julian always found this process exciting, these trainers and the pokemon they chose will be the best of friends. It is very rare to see a trainer who doesn''t favor his or hers'' very first pokemon, the bond the trainers and their first pokemon build is very special, Julian decided to stay and watch this, not only is the trainer choosing their partner, even the pokemons do the same. The first young trainer stepped up and stood in front of three pokeballs, Sophie smiled and released all three pokemons from these pokeballs, Froakie, Fennekin, and Chespin. The young girl who stepped up first is very excited to see these pokemons, these three are of course the starter pokemons trainers can choose if they register for their first pokemon in Kalos or they could really just catch one from the wild. Some new trainers register and obtain their new pokemons while others ask the help of an elder to catch them one from the wild, that is why not every trainer''s first pokemon was one of the starters. Actually, most new trainers caught their pokemons from the wild as it is a much easy process than filling forms and paying money. Julian watched with a smile as the young girl looked at the three pokemons in front of her curiously, there is excitement filled in her eyes and she is struggling to choose one, she looked at Froakie and thought it looked very cool, she looked at Fennekin and thought it would turn into a beautiful pokemon, she then looked at Chespin and felt it is quite cute and goofy. As she was having a hard decision to pick one, Julian decided to help a little, all three pokemons on the table were quite great, and they were starter pokemons, any one of them could be a powerhouse in the future. Julian "If you can''t make a choice, ask them" Julian said. The young girl heard Julian''s voice and looked at him, she looked at the tall man in front of her with his face covered with a mask. Young Girl "Can I do that?" She asked. Julian "Well, it goes both ways, sometimes its the trainer who choose and sometimes its the pokemon" Julian said and removed his mask to show his face, he was feeling generous today, he decided to make this day special for these children as they are about to choose their very first pokemon, it is one of the most important days in their life. Seeing the man remove his mask, the young girl and her friends were shocked, they couldn''t believe who they are looking at, then all of them shouted in excitement and rushed towards him in excitement. Young Girl "Mister Julian, I am your biggest fan" The girl said as she is starstruck. Young Boy "No you aren''t, I am" Her friend right behind her said and stepped forward, soon there was a war between these kids on who is Julian''s biggest fan, Julian just smiled. Julian "Calm down now, you will scare the pokemons" Julian said. The young new trainers calmed down after listening to him. Young Girl "Mr. Julian did your first pokemon also the one who chose you?" She asked. Julian "No I chose him but it really doesn''t matter, what really matters is that you grow stronger together and learn to trust each other" Julian said. Young Boy "Can I see him, I want to see your first pokemon" The boy behind her asked. Julian saw no foul in showing these new trainers his Infernape, he took out a Pokeball and released his Infernape, as soon as Infernape came out the young trainers surrounded him, Infernape was confused at first then looked at Julian and saw him nodding, Infernape then decided to stay calm. The young trainers were fascinated by seeing Infernape, they had seen Julian''s Infernape on tv before but seeing him up close was very different, they noticed that Infernape is quite biggerpared to a normal one, his mes are bright has a blue glow around it, his fur is very shiny and soft, the whole aura around him gave him a sense of power and invincibility. The young trainers couldn''t help but admire Infernape, they wondered if their pokemon would even look this magnificent and powerful. Julian "Now Sera, ask them lets see which one of them chooses you" Julian said. He learned the name of all these kids, the only girl in the group is named Sera, Sera nodded and walked towards the three pokemon and looked at them. Sera "Do anyone of you want to be my partner?" She asked and looked at the three pokemons, the pokemons seem to have understood what she asked and suddenly grouped together and started to discuss something, then suddenly the Chespin stepped forward and jumped right into her arm. Julian "Looks like it''s Chespin" Julian said. Sera is quite happy that Chespin chose her, she hugged Chespin tightly and walked back letting her friends choose their pokemon. The boy named Asher stepped in and looked at the remaining two. Asher "I choose your, Froakie" He said and lifted Froakie in his hand, Froakie didn''t seem to mind at all and is happy with Asher''s choice, the third kid to step in is Corner and he didn''t even hesitate and chose Fennekin, he is also quite happy with his choice. Chapter 1049 - Another New Pokemon With all three pokemons picked, only one boy is left who still needs to get his pokemon, from the looks of it this boy is very timidpared to his other friends and decided to gost, he looked at Sophie wondering which pokemon will he get. Sophie "Since we are out of pokemons starters of Kalos region, you can choose between these three" ?? Sophie said and took out another three pokeballs and released the pokemons from inside, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. Julian was surprised to see the Kanto starters but out of these three pokemons, one of them stood out very clearly, the Charmander, because it is shiny and Julian could tell that this one has massive potential as well. Julian then looked at the timid boy whose name is Brian, the best option for any new trainer would be the Charmander as itpletely outshines the Bulbasaur and Squirtle but looking at Brian, Julian knew it was not the case for him. The Charmander clearly has a very strong personality and is arrogant, Julian could tell by the look in its eyes, while Brian seems to be very timid, when Charmander evolves into a Charizard they will be very hard to control and this little fellow here already seems to be very arrogant in nature. If Brian chooses Charmander, he might be in big trouble. Julian watched as Brian made his way towards the three pokemon, he looked at Charmander with excitement in his eyes, a shiny pokemon is very rare and everyone knows that shiny pokemon are a little strongerpared to normal ones. He stood in front of Charmander. Brian "Do you want to be my partner?" He asked the Charmander, the Charmander looked at Brain for a few seconds and turned its head away rejecting Brian, in its eyes, Brian is a timid person who doesn''t deserve to be its trainer. Julian saw this and was d for Brian, if Charmander had decided to go with Brian, it could have been a disaster, he just watched as the dejected Brian move towards the other two pokemons, he didn''t expect Charmander to actually reject him, his only option now is Squirtle and Bulbasaur. The two pokemons looked at him and he looked back at them, he then suddenly felt a connection between one of them, Brian focused on Squirtle and picked it up in his arms. Brian "I choose you, Squirtle" Squirtle also seems to be happy as well. With all four new trainers with new pokemons by their side, they were ready to start their own pokemon journey, the four then decided to memorialize this day by taking a photo with Julian and his Infernape along with their new pokemon, Julian didn''t reject the offer and took a photo with them. Professor Sycamore then stepped in and handed over six pokeballs along with Pokedex to each of them and gave them his best of luck. The young trainers left leaving Julian, Sycamore, Sophie, and the other two unchosen pokemon behind, while Julian looked at the disappearing figure of the four young trainers, the Charmander who is on the table was attracted by Infernape standing beside Julian. It could sense the unimaginable power in those very calm mes, it also wanted to have such amanding presence just like this Infernape, it then looked at the trainer next to the Infernape. This tall human also had a very dominating presence surrounding him, its instinct told it to follow this man and it will achieve great things, it jumped off the table and walked towards Julian, Professor Sycamore, and Sophie were surprised as they saw the Charmander nudging on Julian''s pants. They knew this Charmander very well, it had rejected every trainer that wanted to take it along with them, it was even more stubborn than Ash''s Froakie, Ash''s Froakie wouldn''t outright reject a trainer but this Charmander would. Every time a trainer wanted to take it, it would either turn its head away or scare them by using Ember, but now it went and nudge Julian''s pants on its own. Julian turned his head and looked at the little Charmander who is nudging his pants, as soon as it got Julian''s attention, it climbed the table again and grabbed its Pokeball on its own, and pointed it towards Julian. Seeing this Julian was surprised, he hasn''t even done anything and this Charmander wants to be his pokemon, this came as a surprise not only to him but to Sycamore and Sophie as well. Julian "You want to be my pokemon?" Julian asked with a smile. Charmander nodded its head. Julian "Professor, can I take this little one with me?" He turned towards Professor Sycamore and asked. Sycamore "Who am I to say no, since Charmander wants to go with you then I cannot refuse, and I don''t believe any other trainer can meet his expectations" Sycamore said. Julian "So he''s a boy huh" Julian said and approached Charmander and took the Pokeball from his hand. Julian "From now on there will be a huge burden on your shoulder, you will have to work a lot harder to catch up to the rest" Julian said. Charmander didn''t know what Julian meant by catching up to the rest but he is prepared to train hard, a trainer who can train such a strong pokemon as Infernape will, of course, be very beneficial to him, this is his mindset. Charmander just doesn''t know that his world is about to be blown away, the things he will see and experience will bepletely different from what he expects. Chapter 1050 - Lysandre Since Sycamore had no problem with Julian taking Charmander with him, Julian took this chance to add another pokemon with massive potential to his team. He put Charmander back into his Pokeball and put it away, now it was time for Julian to leave, Sycamore escorted Julian out of theb but both of them stopped as they noticed someone ising towards them through the entrance. ?? Julian looked at this man and felt something was off about him, this man is tall, even a little taller than Julian, he has long orange hair shaped like a lion''s mane, Julian thought that this hairstyle looked ridiculous, he didn''t know why the people of this world is so obsessed with weird hairstyles. The man is wearing a ck suit and pants with orange lining, the man stopped right in front of Sycamore and greeted him, he then looked at Julian and wondered who this person is? Since Julian already put his mask up, the man with orange hair couldn''t recognize him. Sycamore "Oh, Mr. Lysandre, what is the reason for your visit?" Sycamore asked. Lysandre is a very well-known name in Kalos, he and his team have always been helping people and pokemon through their research and project. Sycamore has a quite good impression of Lysandre. Lysandre "Who is this person?" Lysandre asked Sycamore while looking at Julian, Sycamore looked at Julian and noticed that Julian has no intention to introduce himself so Sycamore quickly came up with an answer. Sycamore "This person is a guest of mine, he was just about to leave" Lysandre nodded and extended his hand towards Julian. Lysandre "Hello my name is Lysandre, I am a Scientist, nice to meet you" Lysandre said. Julian looked at Lysandre''s hand for a second before extending his hand as well, even though he had a feeling that Lysandre is a shitty person, he still decided to greet him, he didn''t want to set off this Lysandre''s rms by being rude to him. Julian "I am Julian" Julian said and gave him a firm handshake, Lysandre was surprised to hear the name, being an influential figure himself, he knew who the name Julian is attached to a very important trainer in this world, he carefully looked at the man in the mask and the Infernape beside him, he realized that it is indeed the same person he is thinking of. Lysandre "What a surprise, I didn''t expect I would meet the legendary Mr. Julian himself" Lysandre said with a smile. Julian "I am sorry that I don''t know you" Julian said. This time Sycamore stepped in and introduced Julian to Lysandre. Sycamore "Mr. Julian, Mr. Lysandre is a very famous person in Kalos, he and his team have been helping people and pokemon for ages now, they have worked hard providing people and pokemons assistance whenever there were major catastrophe or problems" Sycamore exined. Julian wasn''t actually surprised to hear this at all, his guts told that this person in front of him is a shitty person and the best way to cover up that persona is by putting on a mask of a good person. Julian "It seems like you are a very good person, Mr. Lysandre" Julian said. Lysandre "I just do my best to assist people, if people of this world are happy I will be happy as well" Lysandre said. Julian just nodded his head, Lysandre then looked at Julian''s Infernape and got curious, he has seen this pokemon on TV before but in person, Infernape looked quite majestic. Lysandre wanted to touch him and examine him but before he could even put his hand on Infernape, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his palm and he quickly retracted his hand and squeezed it. Julian "I am sorry, I should have warned you sooner, my Infernape''s fire is really hot and he doesn''t like other people touching him" Julian said. Lysandre "No, it''s my fault, I should have known not to approach a pokemon so suddenly" Lysandre said while he was trying his best to hide the pain his palm is going through right now, he was really shocked by this, he didn''t even touch Infernape and his palm took a nasty burn. Julian "You should see a doctor or that might get worse" Julian advised as he looked at Lysandre''s hand. Lysandre just nodded and took out a cloth bandaid and rolled it over his palm. Lysandre "Mr. Julian, your Infernape is quite a beautiful pokemon" He said. Julian "Beautiful? Haha, this is the first time someone described my Infernape as beautiful" Julian said andughed, he realized that this Lysandre was clearly a nut case, who would consider a pokemon beautiful when it just burned his hand. Lysandre "I am not lying, Infernape is indeed beautiful, I wish to make this world an eternal beautiful ce, and pokemons like your Infernape will be a great addition to it" He said. Julian didn''t answer and just looked at Infernape. Beautiful? Infernape is everything but beautiful, and he wondered what this Lysandre is on about eternal beauty, Julian already knew that he had met a nut job but now he believes that this person might have a very serious problem. Chapter 1051 - A Request For Battle Lysandre "Mr. Julian wouldn''t this world be a great ce to live if everything was beautiful?" Lysandre asked. ?? Julian "I don''t believe so" Julian answered. Lysandre "Why not?" Lysandre asked and frowned. He thought that Julian would agree with him since he is the trainer of such a beautiful pokemon. Julian "The world isn''t supposed to be all beautiful, bnce is necessary" Julian said. Lysandre "But wouldn''t it be better, eternal beauty that never fades away, imagine if everything in this world to keep its beauty forever, it would be such a great ce" Julian "Eternal beauty..... it depends on the person looking at it" Lysandre "How so?" Julian "Well I think every person has their own opinion, I will keep mine to myself" Julian said. He didn''t want to go into an in-depth discussion about things rted to eternal stuff such as ever living or immortality, he didn''t want to give this nub job some ideas. Lysandre "I see" Lysandre said and frowned, he wanted to know what Julian really thought but at the end of the day it didn''t matter to him, anyone who couldn''t share his vision didn''t belong to have a ce in the new world that he is about to build and that includes Julian. "Mr. Lysandre" As Julian and Lysandre were about to finish their talk, they heard a voice from behind, Julian looked behind Lysandre and saw a young teenager walk into theb as well, the teenager seems to be around 14 to 15 years old, is wearing a ck jacket, dark blue shirt underneath it, ck jeans, has ck hair and blue eyes and right beside him is a big Charizard with a Mega Store around its neck attacked to a neck te. Julian carefully looked at the Charizard and is impressed by how it has been raised, it is clearly a very strong one for its level. Lysandre turned around and looked at the teenage boy as well. Lysandre "in, you are here at the right time, meet Mr. Julian, one of the greatest trainers of the current generation. Mr. Julian this is in, he is a very talented trainer who is helping me in my research" Lysandre introduced in to Julian. in looked at Julian and suddenly a gleam shed in his eyes, he couldn''t help but be surprised as he is standing in front of one of the strongest champions to ever step foot in the league. in has traveled the world and battled a few champions before but none of theme close to Julian, he wanted to battle Julian right now. Julian looked at in and saw the glint in his eyes, he sighed inwardly as he knew the teenager was going to ask him for a battle, he then looked at Lysandre knowing that this man purposefully did so, Lysandre wanted to check out Julian''s capabilities by seeing his pokemons in action. in stepped forward with his Charizard and looked intensely at Julian. in "Mr. Julian, it''s a pleasure to meet you, my name is in and I would like to challenge you to a battle" in said. Julian liked the confidence of the young man, he carefully looked at the young man and could tell that he is a good person, Julian also wondered why he would be working with someone like Lysandre, and then when he gave it some thought, a person like Lysandre can easily manipte a teen into doing his bidding. Julian "Are you sure about this, you are going to lose very badly" Julian warned in. The thing is Julian''s current team isn''t strong enough to face in''s Charizard and his other pokemons are too powerful for this Charizard. Lysandre "A simple battle won''t do any harm, maybe in could learn something and Mr. Julian don''t underestimate in, he has battled champions before, he went toe to toe with Steven, the champion of Hoenn" Lysandre said. Julian could tell what this nut job was trying to do but he didn''t care, he looked at in and asked again. Julian "Are you sure?" in "I am" in answered with determination. Julian "Ok then" He said and turned towards Professor Sycamore. Julian "Professor Sycamore, can we use the battlefield?" Sycamore "Sure, it would be my pleasure to watch you battle in person, it can also help me in my research" Sycamore said. Julian nodded and followed Sycamore as he guided the group to the other side of theb where a big battlefield is present. Julian walked into the battlefield along with his Infernape by his side, in walked to the other end of the battlefield and looked at Julian and Infernape by his side which has his eyes closed. in "Are you going to send out your Infernape?" in asked while looking at Infernape, he knew that Infernape is Julian''s ace and he is a little excited to battle it, in''s Charizard didn''t think much of its opponent and flew into the battlefield and red at Infernape. Infernape who has his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and simply red at Charizard, Charizard suddenly felt a shiver run down its spine as fear crept up in its heart and it could be seen in its eyes, it suddenly bolted out of the battlefield and stood behind in trembling a little. Julian "It looks like my Infernape scared your Charizard, don''t worry I won''t be using Infernape, he is a little too strong" Julian said and took out a Pokeball and yed around with it in his hand. in looked at his Charizard with shock, he never expected his Charizard would run with its tail between its legs with just a re from Julian''s Infernape, he wondered what kind of monster Julian''s Infernape really is? Chapter 1052 - Mega Charizard X in didn''t feel he and his Charizard is strong enough to face Julian''s Infernape but since he is the one who challenged Julian he needs to step up and battle. He looked at Charizard and nodded his head signaling Charizard to step back into the battlefield again, since Charizard trusted him it didn''t give it a second thought and flew into the battlefield and took its stance. ?? Julian is impressed, if it was any other trainer they might not want to battle Julian after seeing their Pokemon run away by just being red at by the opponent''s pokemon but in still wanted to continue battling. Julian didn''t make in wait and sent out his pokemon into the battle, in was curious as he wanted to know which Pokemon Julian is willing to send out for the battle. As soon as in saw Julian''s pokemon enter the battlefield, he got a little excited as he saw Julian''s Darmanitan enter the battlefield, in has seen this pokemon in action in the Unova League and was impressed by how Darmanitan used its moves. He tried to copy Darmanitan''s style but it backfired and injured his Charizard which made Charizard unable to train for a whole week, in wasn''t going all out while replicating Darmanitan''s style so the bacsh was not that great. Now he will have a better view and the pokemon right in front of him. Darmanitan entered the battlefield and looked at his current opponent, as soon as he saw the Charizard in front of him, he got a little disappointed, he wanted to create some explosions and have fun but the opponent that is in front of him is too week. He turned around and looked at Julian wondering if this Charizard is really his opponent, Julian saw Darmanitan''s gaze and knew what he is thinking so he just nodded his head. Darmanitan turned his head back at Charizard and wondered what Julian is nning to do. Sycamore stepped in and decided to be the referee as well. Sycamore "I will be the referee, let''s not waste any time and start this battle" Sycamore said and gave the go to start the battle, even he is a little excited as he wants to observe the Mega Evolution process of in''s Charizard and he believes in will be forced into Mega Evolving his Charizard as he is facing Julian. He looked at his assistant Sophie and signaled her to record everything, she nodded and pointed the wide-angle camera in her hand at the battlefield, waiting for the battle to start. in didn''t wait and went directly for the attack. in "Use Dragon w" Hemanded. His Charizard flew up in the air and dove down at Darmanitan at full speed, its arms got surrounded by powerful pulsing energy which turned into a shape of ws, Julian looked at the advancing Charizard and is surprised by its speed, it is very decent. Julian "Rollout" Julian decided to go light on his first counter and he wanted to see if in''s Charizard will be able to take on his Darmanitan head-on like this. As Charizard got closer to Darmanitan, Darmanitan used Rollout and started to spin rapidly and charged forward, soon both pokemons made contact creating a powerful shockwave causing everything to be blown away, dust rose up high in the air, and soon Charizard was sent flying through the dust. Charizard quickly stabilized itself by using its massive wings andnded back on the ground, it didn''t seem to have taken much damage but the bacsh from the collision was still very powerful causing Charizard to be pushed back. Julian is impressed. He looked at in and decided to give him a little more time. Julian "If you want to even put up a fight, it is better to Mega Evolve now, you won''t get a chance when Darmanitan moves again" Julian said. in is not an idiot nor is he arrogant, he took Julian''s advice and pulled out his Keystone, and activated the Mega Evolution process, the Keystone in his hand shone brightly and started to react with the Mega Stone around Charizard''s neck. Soon the light from both stones started to fuse and Charizard started to change its form, its wings started to change, its body got a little thicker as well, as soon as the Mega Evolution light faded away Julian was able to see Charizard in its Mega Evolved form. Mega Charizard X, to this day Julian has seen only two Mega Evolved Charizards, one belongs to Ash and the other he is seeing right now, Ash''s Charizard Mega Evolved in Mega Charizard Z during the final battle between him and Ash in the Hoenn League finals and now he is looking at Mega Charizard X. Sycamore is also very excited as he ce at Sophie and hoped that she is recording everything properly. Julian looked at Mega Charizard X and realized that it looked quite simr to Mega Charizard Z but instead of being dark green with green mes, it is ck in color with blue mes. Julian carefully looked at Mega Charizard X and noticed the massive change in the aura around it, it felt much more powerful and its blue mes looked much more destructive and hotter. Darmanitan also noticed the changes and a little glint shed in his eyes which soon disappeared as his opponent just got a lot stronger than before but still not a match to him, Darmanitan wondered if he will be able to Mega Evolve, he wondered how big of an explosion he can create if he Mega Evolves. Too bad for him, Julian couldn''t find any Mega Stone that resonated with Darmanitan, to this day no one has evere across a Mega Stone for Darmanitan. Now that Charizard has Mega Evolved Julian wondered if it will be able to keep up? Chapter 1053 - Julian Vs Alain Now that Charizard has Mega Evolved, in felt a little better, he thought he has a better chance at battling Julian''s Darmanitan. in went on the attack, once again starting with Dragon w just like before, Charizard started by flying high up in the sky and dove down towards Darmanitan with full speed. ?? The Dragon w seems to be much bigger than before as well and filled with more power, Julian looked at the iing attack and wondered how he should deal with it, should hemand a powerful move or continue to pressure Charizard by small moves. He only needed a millisecond to decide. Julian "Fire Punch" Julian decided to counter with Fire Punch, even though Mega Charizard X is four-time resistant to fire-type attacks, Julian knows that the oue will not be in Darmanitan''s defeat. Darmanitan charged up his move as the ming hot fire red around his right arm as he waited for the Charizard to get closer. Once both of them found themselves in each other''s range, they struck. Charizard swiped first with its left arm and followed by its right, it wanted to catch Darmanitan off guard and force him to only block one of them so it couldnd the other. Of course, Darmanitan won''t fall for such tactics, he has battled against Julian''s best pokemons and these types of moves are quitemon. As soon as the first swipe came towards him, he used his other arm andunched himself up in the air with a powerful push easily dodging the first swipe, as he jumped up in the air, Charizard was not put in an awkward position as Darmanitan is right over its head, but it twisted its tail along with its wings to make a quick turn and went for an uppercut with its other Dragon w. Darmanitan using the Gravity dove down and pushed with full power, the two moves collided creating another massive shockwave along with an explosion. Charizard got sent crashing into the ground and Darmanitan also came down andnded straight on its stomach and rolled away. Charizard got out of its pit struggling, in got a little worried, the previous exchange should have been in his favor but his Charizard was still overpowered, this battle was nothing like he has ever had before, even when he battled against the Champion of Hoenn region he was able to read and perform counters but right now he is being overpowered, he cannote up with a counter no matter what he thinks. in "Use methrower" As Darmanitan created some distance between him and Charizard, in took this chance to perform a special attack, after Mega Evolving, Charizard is not only a powerful physical attacker but also a special attacker. Charizard nted its feet firmly on the ground and puffed its chest taking a massive breath and sted the methrower towards Darmanitan, the methrower looked quite hot and destructive as the blue mes disyed why they are hotter than regr mes. Julian "Use Hammer Arm on the ground" Seeing the power behind the methrower Julian is impressed so he didn''t want to take the risk and make Darmanitan take the attack head-on, though it won''t cause too much damage on Darmanitan, Julian wanted to do a clean sweep. Darmanitan used a full power Hammer Arm on the ground causing the whole battlefield to shatter, cracks spread over the whole battlefield like a spider web, the rocks in front of Darmanitan flung out of the ground and suddenly acted like a barrier between him and the methrower. The methrower hit several rocks and turned them red hot but it wasn''t able to reach Darmanitan. Julian "Now grab and throw them" Now that the rocks have turned red hot they can now be used as ammo for Darmanitan, Darmanitan grabbed one of the rocks from the air and used his own mes to burn them hotter, and threw it at an extreme speed at Charizard. Since Darmanitan is really bad as a special attacker, Julian came up with this n, burning the rocks in ming rocks and use them as massive rock fireballs. Charizard was caught by surprise as it saw the ming red hot rock shooting towards it, it tried to move to the side and dodge but the speed of this rock is too fast, the power and speed that Darmanitan applied on this rock are at full power. The ming rock smashed into Charizard''s stomach, its eyes went wide as blue fire burst out of its mouth and Charizard got sent shooting through the air right out of the battlefield and crashed against a tree. The tree broke in half as it was not too big nor thick, Charizard''s Mega Evolution faded away revealing a knocked-out Charizard. in turned around and looked at his Charizard with shock written all over his face, he never saw the attacking, it happened within a few seconds and the battle already ended. He then rushed towards Charizard to check on it and sighed in relief seeing that it is not heavily injured and just knocked out, he sent it back to its Pokeball and walked back towards Julian. Julian also sent Darmanitan back into his Pokeball and looked at in. Julian "You are good, I don''t have a pokemon of your Charizard''s level so this battle was a lot easier for me" Julian said. He could tell that in is a great trainer and he didn''t want in to lose his confidence, a trainer will lose their confidence at the beginning of their journey when they can''t win or at their peak when they suddenly get destroyed by another trainer. in''s Charizard could grow stronger in the future but growth from here will be a lot harder, in also knows this, his Charizard might not grow any stronger for months, and facing such loss can be a huge blow. in was indeed very devastated by his loss but hearing Julian, he was slightly relieved but he then realized that Darmanitan under Julian hasn''t been trained any longer than his Charizard but he wondered how it got to such a high level so fast? Chapter 1054 - Preparation For Lumiose Gym in lost and he lost pretty badly, it was clearly one-sided, he has never been so easily defeated, he has battled so many powerful trainers and some of them were elite four members and champions, he has even a win over some elite fours as well but the battle with Julian waspletely different. He felt he had no counter against him, he could tell that Julian saw his attacksing before he even made them, to reach such level one must have battled a lot. This is what in''s impression of Julian is. ?? Julian sent his Darmanitan back to his Pokeball and nced at Lysandre and he noticed his frustration, Julian just smirked and looked at Professor Sycamore. Julian "I will be taking my leave then Professor, I have other things to do" Julian informed Professor Sycamore and left, Lysandre was not happy with the development, he wanted to see how strong Julian really is but he couldn''t collect any data at all, the battle between Julian and in ended very quickly and Julian didn''t even use his strongest pokemon to battle in. Lysandre is frustrated but he believes that Julian won''t pose a threat once hepletes his task and activates his own ultimate weapon, the one that he has been working on for years, it all began in Hoenn and it will end here in Kalos, his n is perfect in his eyes, his calctions have zero errors in them, he believes no matter what happens, he will seed in creating the beautiful world he dreams of. Lysandre just watched Julian''s back as Julian made his way towards theb and then walked out of the front gate, this time no one stopped him, Julian decided to head towards the nearest pokemon park and train his pokemon for the uing battle against the Lumiose city''s gym leader. He looked at his current team and wondered which pokemons he should use, he has the Upgrade for his Porygon which he intends to perfect before feeding it into Porygon, then there is his Floette who is doing pretty well but Julian doesn''t n to use her. Then there is Doude, as Doude just had his battle against the gym leader of Coumarine gym, uncher is also facing the same situation as he battled against the Coumarine gym leader, because of that battle uncher is very close to evolving and Julian doesn''t want him to evolve yet, he wants uncher to focus a little more on his control before he evolves. The only ones remaining are Skrelp and the newest addition to his team, his shiny Charmander, though Skrelp is weak to electric type pokemons Julian decided to use him against the Lumiose gym leader who is an electric type user. Now Julian is only left with Charmander but Julian doesn''t n to use him in the battle as he is very young and doesn''t even know how to use his moves properly, Julian hasn''t even had to chance to build a rtionship with him. So Julian decided to use Porygon as his second pokemon but he decided to evolve Porygon before the battle. Julian continued with his training and mainly focused on training Skrelp, he also introduced Charmander to his other pokemons, Charmander got overwhelmed by all the powerful pokemons around him, he was d that he chose Julian. Charmander is also fascinated by Infernape''s fire and tried to touch it but he couldn''t, just getting near Infernape''s mes would make him sweat, even though he is a fire type and resistant to fire, his fire to notparable to Infernape''s. Julian told Charmander to carefully observe the training between him and Skrelp, Julian wants to make sure that Charmander knows what he is getting into and how hard the training really will be. Julian always wanted a Charmander but he never came across one in the wild, Charmanders are very rare, they can only be found in the Charicific Valley and Julian has never been to Jhoto, most of the starter Charmanderes from the Charicific Valley and his Charmander must be from there as well. __________________ Julian started his training with Skrelp and concentrated on teaching him how to move swiftly around the battlefield. Since Skrelp doesn''t have limbs to propel him around a dry battlefield, Julian always thought that water pokemon without limbs have a really hard time moving around the battlefield and it has been inconvenient. Julian thought of something as he wanted to get rid of this weakness but this method should only work on small or very light pokemons like Skrelp, he wants to imitate Surf but on a very small scale, the water that Skrelp would use will act like a wave and move him around. With Skrelp''s allrounder stats Julian doesn''t have to worry about Skrelpcking something, his only weakness is his speed and Julian is making sure that his weakness is removed. The training began and Julian asked Skrelp to imitate Surf on a very small scale, at first he failed but they kept trying, Julian would give pointers whenever Skrelp would struggle, the trainerssted for hours. His other pokemons also continue to train, even his Charmander started training with body exercise, Julian older pokemons acted as their trainers so Julian didn''t have to keep constant attention on them, with his main focus being Skrelp the training continued. As for Porygon, it really didn''t need much training, it grew constantly with very little help, it just moved around the grass studying its friends'' moves and how they battle, it has a record of their every move hand habits and if anyone of them battle against Porygon, they would likely lose, unless they pull out somethingpletely new. After training, Julian returned back to his fianc¨¦es'' apartment and ate his dinner with them before feeding his pokemons and going to sleep. Chapter 1055 - Porygon Evolved. Julian got busy with training for the next few days. When he found himself alone as his fianc¨¦es left for work he would head towards the pokemon park and train with his pokemons, with Skrelp being his main focus. Skrelp was finally able to understand how to minimize Surf to a very tiny scale and move it around in the direction he wants, though it used a lot of his energy, Julian doesn''t need his Skrelp to use it continuously, he just needs to use it when dodging fast attacks from his opponents. ?? Julian also gave to Upgrade program to his system to modify and perfect it, the best part is it didn''t even take an hour before the Upgrade was ready, Julian has yet to feed it to Porygon, he decided to do it today when he returns to his apartment. The training went well and Skrelp continued to get better at his movement using water, once training was done, he returned back to his apartment, his fianc¨¦es are already back and they are watching the tv, seeing Julian they got happy and dragged him to the couch and held onto him as they all watched the rom on the tv. Once the rom was over, Chole and Daisy got up and decided to cook food for all three of them, Julian sighed and decided to evolve his Porygon, he headed to the study table and switched on hisptop, and plugged Porygon''s Pokeball into it. He then asked the system to upload the perfected Upgrade, the system began to do its magic and uploaded the modified program, once it was uploaded, it started to overwrite Porygon''s code and changed his stats and appearance. With a better code, Porygon went through a massive change, Julian could see the changes with his own eyes on the screen, the sharp edgy body of Porygon started to change and be more rounded in shape. The overwriting finished and Porygon evolved inside his Pokeball with no shes like a normal pokemon, once Porygon evolved, Julian heard the system''s voice inside his head to adjust Porygon''s stats again. Julian looked through the stats and decided to adjust it to his liking for the uing battle, after adjusting the stats he was happy with his decision. Julian ''Disy Porygon''s stats'' ______________________ Porygon Zero-Upgraded (Default stat) HP - 100 Attack - 100 Defense - 100 Sp. Attack - 100 Sp. Defense - 100 Speed - 100 Ability - Analytic Moves - Tackle, Thunderbolt, Zap Cannon, Psybeam, Agility, Ma Rise, Signal Beam, Thunder, Thunder Wave, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Double Team, Aerial Ace, Charge Beam, Dream Eater, Electroweb, Foul y, Gravity, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Iron Tail, Shock Wave, Telekinesis, Wonder Room, Zen Headbutt, Giga Impact, Hyper Beam. ______________________ Porygon Zero-Upgraded (current stat) HP - 100 Attack - 1 Defense - 75 Sp.

His strategy for Porygon is an extremely fast special attacker with ridiculous speed. With everything allocated, now it is time for Julian to finally see how his Porygon looks, he unplugged the Pokeball from hisptop and released Porygon out of its Pokeball, once Porygon came out Julian was surprised to see the changes. The Porygon from before, the one with sharp edges were gone and is not reced with circr edges, its snout-like face is no longer there and reced with an oval one and it also has a beak now, its eyes are round and big, its tail along became longer and thicker talking an oval shape as well, every part of its body is in the shape of an oval. But the biggest difference Julian noticed is not its physical appearance but its internal, Julian noticed emotions in its big eyes, this came as a shock to him. Porygon never disyed emotions at all but now it clearly looks very excited as it stares at Julian. Porygon approaches Julian and jumps on hisp happily, Julian takes a few seconds topose himself and looks at his new and improved Porygon, the system has done its magic once again, it turned an emotionless pokemon into one with emotions. Julian is happy about this, as Porygon had no emotions, his other pokemons were having a hard time around it, but now things will be much better. Chloe and Daisy came out and noticed the Porygon on Julian''sp and got excited, they thought the oval pokemon looks very cute and picked it up and smothered it between their breasts, Julian looked at Porygon''s reaction and noticed that it looked quite happy, he wondered what is Porygon''s source of happiness, the love and care it is receiving right now or the breasts? Chapter 1056 - Challenging The Lumiose Gym Now that his Porygon has evolved into his second stage, Julian is ready for his battle against the Lumiose city gym leader. Chloe and Daisy went back into the kitchen and handed Porygon back to Julian, Julian has asked what Porygon will be called after its evolution. When Sycamore told him that it will be called Porygon2, Julian decided to stick with Porygon while calling it out. ?? He sent Porygon back to its Pokeball and continued to work on hisptop, he decided to check the Lumiose gym and see how good the current gym leader really is. He searched for the keyword Lumiose city gym leader and found a link right on top of the search result, as he clicked on the link he was surprised to see the face of the gym leader, he recognized the gym leader, it is none other than the blond boy with sses who is traveling with Ash. Julian ''So the boy is a gym leader'' Julian thought and looked further into it, as he scrolled down the page, he wondered who is taking care of the gym if not the gym leader Clemont, he looked more into this gym and found out that the gym is actually being run by a robot. Finding out that the gym challenges are actually being excepted by a robot, Julian got a little interested, he looked more into this and found out that the robot is actually very good at what it does. 95% of trainers are not able to defeat it during their very first battle against it, and that is a very high number, better than any trainer, Julian then looked into the pokemon this robot is using. The three pokemon that trainers constantly seem to face are Magnemite, Maon, Heliolisk, these three pokemons are really good, with secondary steel types like Magnemite and Maon, the type resistance is very high but the only weakness of an electric type pokemon doubles. As for the Heliolisk with its normal typing, it bes immune to ghost type but gains weakness to fighting type pokemons. Julian is not worried about the pokemons he is going to battle against, his interest is solely on the robot which calls itself the Clembot, from what the trainers have experienced it seems to be able to predict their moves before they can even call for it. The trainers also im that the robot has a counter to every move they throw at it, the more Julian read, the more he is impressed by it. He cannot wait to battle it, he closed hisptop and waited for his fianc¨¦es to finish cooking, until then he watched the TV, once they were done with cooking, all three of them ate before heading to bed and spent the next few hours doing very intense "exercise", if the walls of this apartment were not thick enough, the neighbors would be very disturbed by all the loud and constant moans. ___________________ The next day, Julian woke up early and got ready for his battle against the Lumiose city''s gym, he prepared breakfast for the two beautifuldies, fed his pokemons their own breakfast, and left the house once thedies left for their work as well. He didn''t directly head to Lumiose gym, he headed towards the pokemon park and did light work with his pokemons so that they could convert the food they ate into energy reserves for their battle. Once he was done preparing, he headed straight to the center of the city, his destination the Prism tower. The Prism Tower is a massive structure that can be seen from every corner of the city, it is also home to the Lumiose pokemon gym, being the main attraction of the city, the way to the tower was filled with people and pokemon who were walking around shopping and having fun. Luckily his disguised worked properly and arrived in front of the tower, as soon as he got there he noticed a trainer was thrown out of the tower through a hole. The trainer moaned in pain and got back to his feet and cursed while looking at the tower. "NEXT TIME I AM GOING TO CRUSH YOU!" He yelled very loudly but nobody seems to care at all, it looks like this has be amon theme here in front of the tower, people are getting used to trainers being thrown out of the tower. Julian ignored the trainer and walked into the tower, the trainer noticed another challenger trying to enter the gym. "Hey man, be careful, that robot is ruthless" He warned Julian out of courtesy, Julian just nodded at him before entering the tower. "Whatever man, I already warned you". The trainer mumbled and walked away. Julian entered the tower and noticed the pathway was lit up with bright lights, he walked down the pathway and soon came in front of a closed metal door, he stood there and looked around trying to figure out how to open this door. Luckily for him, he didn''t need to do anything, Julian noticed an eyeball-shaped cameraing out of the wall and staring at him, Julian also noticed two lightning poles being aimed at him as the camera looked at him. Julian could tell that those lightning poles are not just for show, they will actually zap someone. "What is your intention to visit the Lumiose gym?" A robotic voice sounded around Julian. Julian "I came here to challenge the Lumiose gym" Julian answered. "To challenge the gym, the trainer needs to be in possession of four gym badges from other gyms, does the challenger meet to criteria?" The voice asked. Julian didn''t say anything and took out his gym case and showed the badges to the camera in front of him, the camera scanned the badges in front of it and then went back into the wall, even the lightning rods retracted and went into the walls. Then suddenly the door opened revealing the battlefield on the other side, Julian looked at the battlefield and noticed a humanoid robot standing right there on the opposite end of the battlefield waiting for him. Chapter 1057 - Julian Vs Clembot (1) Julian walked into the battlefield while carefully observing the robot, the robot also did the same and stared at Julian, from what Julian has learned from the inte, this robot is the worst thing a trainer cane across in a gym challenge. But Julian also doesn''t like this idea of trainers battling a robot, at the end of the day a gym leader is not supposed to defeat their challengers, it is to guide them to be better trainers. ?? Julian stood across the battlefield and looked at the robot. "I am Clembot, I have been assigned to act as the gym leader of this gym until the gym leader returns" The Robot said. Julian "Sure, so when do we start?" Julian asked. Clembot "We shall begin now, but first let me exin the rules of this battle, this battle will be a three vs three pokemon battle, the side with no pokemon at the end of the battle loses" The robot started to exin the rules of the battle and Julian just listened, once the robot was done talking Julian took out his Pokeball and got ready to battle. Clembot "I will be choosing my pokemon first" Clembot said and sent out his very first pokemon into the battlefield, he sent out Magnemite. Julian looked at the pokemon and is d, he also sent out his Skrelp into the battlefield. Once both pokemons entered, they stared at each other, Magnemite clearly seems more confident because of its typing advantage, Skrelp''s poison won''t affect it and its electric attacks would deal a great deal of damage to its opponent. Clembot "Let the battle being" It said and started the battle as soon as possible. Clembot "Use Thunderbolt" Julian "Use Shadow Ball" Magnemite shot a powerful Thunderbolt and Skrelp countered with a powerful Shadow Ball, both attacks collided and created a powerful explosion. Julian didn''t stop after the first sh and ordered for another Shadow Ball, Skrelp''s Shadow Ball shot through smoke but Clembot reacted very fast and called for another Thunderbolt at a close range. The moves collided and caused another powerful explosion. Julian continued with one more Shadow Ball, Skrelp shot another one and it shot through the smoke again, this time the Shadow Ball appeared right before Magnemite and it cannot counter with another Thunderbolt. Clembot was about to call for a dodge but the Shadow Ball was fast, Magnemite got hit and got sent shooting through the air as it spun in the air multiple times. Magnemite stopped its momentum by using its maic power and red at Skrelp, Clembot also recorded the data it just collected so that this oue won''t ur again. Julian "Use Shadow Ball" Julian continued using Shadow Ball to see how the robot will adapt, this time Clembot didn''t counter with another Thunderbolt, it decided to call for a dodge. Clembot "Dodge, then use Thunderbolt" Magnemite dodged the iing Shadow Ball and shot a Thunderbolt as soon as possible. Julian "Use Protect" As the Thunderbolt got closer, Skrelp put up a forcefield in front of him and blocked the Thunderbolt very easily. Julian "Use Water Pulses" Skrelp created multiple Water Pulse around him and shot it at Magnemite, this is the same way Gengar uses Shadow Ball but since Skrelp is a water type, he has better control over his water element than Shadow Ball. Four Water Pulse shot towards Magnemite and there is no way Magnemite could dodge all of them, Clembot analyzed the risk and decided to take one of the weaker Water Pulse head-on. Magnemite quickly moved in front of the weaker Water Pulse and got hit, what Clembot didn''t calcte was that Julian was expecting it to do so. Since Julian knew that Clembot would read his moves and try to figure out the best oue, he predicted the robot to do this, if Clembot would have countered with another move, the chances of getting hit by more than two Water Pulses was very high. Julian also knows that Magnemite is very slow so he doesn''t have to worry about Magnemite dodging it, Julian had forced Clembot into making this move. As soon as Clembot got hit, Julian made his move. Julian "Use Ice Wind" As soon as Julian made the call Skrelp sted a chilling gust of wind towards the wet Magnemite, the water on Magnemite instantly froze and Magnemite started to get covered with ice. Magnemite started to feel heavier as it couldn''t properly levitate, its vision is getting obstructed by the ice forming in front of its eyes. Julian "Time to end this, use Shadow Ball" Skrelp shot the final Shadow Ball, the Shadow Ball hit the struggling Magnemite, the ice around its body shattered and Magnemite went crashing into the ground with a loud thud. Clembot didn''t show any emotions but was astounded with the oue, the method its opponent used to take down its pokemon, it has gone through hundreds of battles but has never encountered such a type of loss. Chapter 1058 - Julian Vs Clembot (2) Clembot looked at his fallen Magnemite and sent it back to its Pokeball, it didn''t waste any second and sent out its next pokemon into the battlefield. The next pokemon then entered the battlefield is Maon, the evolved form of Magnemite, Julian is not worried about Maon, it is just three Magnemites attached together, with three of them connected they of course have more power, more speed, better defense. ?? Julian doesn''t n to continue using Skrelp, luckily for Skrelp his opponent wasn''t the strongest so it wasn''t able to pressure him much to use his new moves. Julian trained for a human challenger but he got a robot as his opponent. He decided to let Skrelp rest for now, though he didn''t overexert himself at all, the opponent in front of him is stronger and will have a hard time against it, and Julian also wanted to see how far good his next choice will be on the battlefield. Julian sent Skrelp back to his Pokeball and took out another Pokeball and tossed it into the battlefield revealing a pink and blue pokemon from inside, Porygon entered the battlefield and as soon as it did, it started to analyze the battlefield and the pokemon in front of it. Inside his coded brain, Porygon has already analyzed its opponent, its weakness, its strengths, the move-sets it might have, and how to avoid them, with how Julian has configured it, it predicted itself winning at a rate of 99.9%. Clembot also tried to analyze the pokemon in front of it but it couldn''t find any data on the pokemon that is across the battlefield and it quickly started to record Porygon''s action so it can use to data forter battles. Julian decided to attack first this time and called for a Thunderbolt. Porygon charged up a powerful Thunderbolt and shot it at Maon. Clembot "Dodge and then use sh Canon" Clembot seems to be going for an early finish and it is indeed the idle strategy, when facing an opponent one has no data of, it is better to end the battle as soon as possible because there is a chance that the opponent might have something that can change the oue of the battle in an instant. The sh Canon sted by Maon is very powerful and extremely fast but due to the changes that Julian made in Porygon''s stats, it just zapped to the side and easily dodged the sh Canon with no effort. Julian "Use Ice Beam" Julianmanded again and Porygon did as he asked, Porygon shot out a powerful cold Ice Beam in an instant towards Maon. Clembot "Counter with Thunderbolt and change position" Clembot ordered. It had already seen the oue of continuously countering attacks, it might cause its pokemon to lose sight of its opponent which can lead to dangerous attacks from the other side. Maon countered with a Thunderbolt and started to move, it never floated in the same ce for more than a second, Maon became a moving target that will be hard to hit. As Julian saw this, he thought of something and went into full attack mode with his Porygon. Julian "Use Shadow Balls and Ice Beam one after the other continuously" Julian ordered. Porygon charged up an Ice Beam and shot it at Maon which it dodged by speeding up its movements, then Porygon sent out a Shadow Ball at extreme speed as well which Maon dodged. Porygon continued to attack with Ice Beam and Shadow Ball one after the other, Julian used this method because it is easier to switch attacks than using an attack, stop, and then use the same attack. Shadow Ball sometimes also changed direction in the air so it made it harder for Maon to dodge them, because of this it continued to increase its speed, after a few minutes of the barrage of attacks. Both Julian and Porygon noticed that Maon has fallen into their trap, Maon started to adapt to a pattern because of the constant moves it was dodging, Porygon was sometimes even missing on purpose so that it could force Maon into taking a certain path. Julian [Start charging up the Hyper Beam] Julian sent a mental message to Porygon and Porygon started to charge up while continuing with its barrage of Shadow Balls and Ice Beams. Julian then sent a mental message to predict the position of Maon in the future few seconds and lock onto that position. Julian "Fire when you are ready" As soon as Julian gave the order, Porygon didn''t wait at all, it shot the Hyper Beam it was charging up in the back, Maon who had adapted to the fixed path of dodging suddenly had a hard time stopping itself and went right into the path of the Hyper Beam. The Hyper Beam tore through the air and hit Maon with all its power, it caused a powerful shockwave along with an explosion, and Maon was sent shooting out of the explosion with a trail of smoke following it as it crashed onto the ground. Julian was happy with the oue, what Julian didn''t know was that Porygon never focused on one spot like Julian asked, it actually hadpletely mapped out Maon''s whole path and as soon as Julian gave the order, it noticed Maon on one spot and fired at the position where it will be. Porygon took the harder route but to it, it was all the same, focus on a single point and map out the whole path it didn''t matter to aputer brain of Porygon''s. Chapter 1059 - Julian Vs Clembot (3) Maon crashed onto the ground hard causing dust to rise high up in the air, as the dust settled down, the result was clear, that single Hyper Beam was enough to end this battle, well there could have been no other oue. With how Julian had removed all of Porygon''s physical attack powers and divided them into its speed and special attack, the oue was obvious, that Hyper Beam is too powerful for a pokemon at Porygon''s level. ?? The power of that Hyper Beam can easily take down pokemons with levels many times higher, maybe even in the upper tens. Clembot is once again surprised by the oue of the battle, this opponent of its is very unpredictable and its data doesn''t have any way to counter it at all. But it didn''t stop Clembot from sending out its next pokemon into the battlefield, the next pokemon to enter the battlefield is Heliolisk. As Heliolisk entered the battlefield, it red up its hood trying to intimidate its opponent by looking bigger and dangerous. Julian "Thunderbolt" Julian started the battle without much thought, Porygon sted a powerful Thunderbolt at Heliolisk. Clembot "Dodge and then use Thunderbolt" Clembot remained as calm as before and gave itsmand, Heliolisk dodged the Thunderbolt and sted its own Thunderbolt at Porygon. Porygon used its super-speed to easily dodge the Thunderbolt. Julian "Use Psychic" Porygon''s body suddenly glowed up, the pink aura surrounding every part of its body, Heliolisk who is standing far away suddenly felt its body be light as it got lifted from the ground. Clembot quickly decided to counter and called for another Thunderbolt. As Heliolisk was being lifted it shot a Thunderbolt at Porygon, Porygon didn''t stop its attack and mmed Heliolisk on the ground and at thest fraction of a second dodged the Thunderbolt. Heliolisk seems to be hurt from that but got back to its feet. Clembot continued to analyze the battle but it couldn''te up with anything, it didn''t know its opponents hidden move-sets, its typing, its weakness, its strength, with no data Clembot felt useless. Julian continued with his assault, to Julian this battle was a lot easier than he expected, he thought the robot will be able to put up some challenge but he was wrong, his methods seem to have caused the robot to have a crisis. It was programmed to battle trainers who follow some kind of pattern during a battle, and many trainers have simr ways of battling, whether it is by watching other battles or battling the same trainers over and over again. Julian always had a unique way of viewing a battle and this was a massive disadvantage for Clembot, unlike a human Clembot cannot predict a unique opponent, its whole strength is based on the data it has on trainers. Julian using Porygon is also a massive advantage to Julian. One, Porygon has no data of itself anywhere, Two, Porygon has been customized for this battle, its special attack and speed are over the roof. Julian is just using Clembot to test the limit of Porygon''s ability. The battle continued and Clembot showed no progress because Julian never followed a pattern, his attacks are random and out of nowhere, Clembot is having a hard timemuting everything. The battle was soon about to end, Clembot''s Heliolisk on the edge while Porygon doesn''t have a scratch on its body, Porygon is Julian''s biggest cheat on his Kalos journey, Julian thought that his Doude will be the most powerful pokemon of his but he was wrong. Porygon is just too overpowered because of the modifications made by the system. Julian "Let''s end this, use Zap Cannon" Porygon charged up its final shot, a ball made of lightning and energy formed in front of Porygon''s oval head, and then it shot at the Heliolisk, a beam made of energy and lightning tore through the air leaving behind shockwaves as it hit Heliolisk. The explosion that urred shook the ground and Heliolisk shot out of the dust cloud rolling on the ground and finally stopping right in front of Clembot''s legs. Clembot looked at its fallen Heliolisk and then sent it back to its Pokeball, it then made its way towards Julian without making him wait and handed him over the Voltage badge, an upside-down yellow triangle with lightninging out of it. Julian took the badge and left, his opponent was not a human so it was no use for him to talk to it, he walked out of the gym with disappointment on his face, his opponent was really weak in his eyes. What Julian didn''t know is that his battle with Clembot made it a formidable opponent to any other challenger who is going to battle it from now on, with Julian''s battle data stored in its memory, it has be one of the most formidable gym leaders, it was already a nightmare for the trainer to ovee but now, none of them will be able to get past it unless a miracle happens. Julian in disappointment returned to his house and closed his eyes, he waited for his fianc¨¦es toe back so they can get rid of his boredom. He still has other ns in Lumiose city, there is the Team re admin who is still kept in captivity by the police because of him, he needs her as she can be someone very useful to him. Chapter 1060 - Solitary Confinement Julian spent another day with his beautiful Fianc¨¦es as he didn''t n to visit the captured Admin for a few days, he decided to let her suffer for a few days enclosed inside a room with no windows to see through. From what Jenny informed him, she was put in a very secured room with no windows, the door is a thick metal door and there is only a small hole which is used to pass the food through, and it is also kept locked for most of the day. ?? Solitary confinement can be very torturous, with nothing to do but just sit in one ce lost in one''s own thoughts is not a good thing, even introverts have inte and their PCs to keep them entertained and busy and they don''t need to interact with anyone. Solitary confinement is a lot worse, even the most hardcore introverts won''t be able to handle it. Julian believed that she deserved it, with all the shit she has done under the name of Team re is very questionable and nonhuman, there is no sign of sympathy, empathy, or thought for others behind her action. She needs a good lesson before Julian works on her. ________________ With only three days remaining before Aliana''s release, Julian finally decided to give her a visit, he told both Chloe and Daisy about this, and to his surprise, they actually wanted to join him, he tly rejected them and told them to go to their work. Once they left in disappointment, he also left the house and headed towards the police station, when he got there he noticed there were not many police around and the ones who are around are very busy. He walked into the police station, the officers continued working while the one in front of the receptionist looked at Julian and wondered what this man in mask wants. Julian walked towards the officer and asked him about Jenny. Julian "I want to talk to Officer Jenny, where is she?" Julian asked. "Who are you?" The officer asked. People whoe here are here to file aint and most of them will be handled by any of the officers working here, no onees to visit Officer Jenny directly unless they are somehow rted or is a superior officer. Julian "Just tell her my description, she will know". Julian said. He didn''t want anyone to know about his visit to the police station. The officer looked confused but he did as he was asked, he called Officer Jenny and it was picked up instantly. Jenny "What is it?" Officer "Officer Jenny, there is a man out here wearing a ck mask, ck hair, and a red coat asking to meet you" Jenny "Send him in" She replied instantly which was indeed a shock to the officer but he is not one toin, he looked at Julian and pointed at the door to Officer Jenny''s office. Officer "She is waiting" He said. Julian nodded and walked towards her office, he opened the door and noticed Jenny was sitting on the desk with her shirt button open exposing her breast for Julian to look at. Julian looked at those almost exposed breasts and smiled, too bad for Jenny Julian is not interested in her right now, he is here for Aliana. He approached Jenny and stood right in front of her. Julian "How is she doing?" He asked as he put his arms around Jenny and grabbed her breasts and squeezed them, Jenny let out a light moan and looked at Julian. Jenny "Just as you asked, I kept her in solitary confinement, by now her metal power should be very weak" Julian "Good, take me to her" Julian said and let go of Jenny, Jenny nodded and buttoned her shirt to cover her exposed cleavage, put on a coat, and walked Julian out of the office and both of them headed downstairs, some of the officers watched them go down but didn''t say anything. Before going down Jenny stopped for a second a looked at them, she wondered if she should tell them to stay behind but Julian stopped her from saying anything and dragged her down. Julian "No need to inform them, I don''t want anyone to know why I came here for". He said and continued down the stairs, Jenny nodded and soon brought him to the solitary confinement section. Jenny then brought him right in front of the room where Aliana is being held. Julian "So the room is soundproof?" Jenny "Yes it is" Julian "Good, give me the key, you stay here and make sure no one knows I am inside with a criminal" Jenny "I will do as you say, master" She said and walked away after giving him the key card, Julian looked at the key card and smiled. Julian "Well what am I waiting for?" He asked himself and opened the door and walked in. Chapter 1061 - Meeting Aliana Inside the solitary confinement room, Aliana just sat on top of the bed with empty eyes, she has already spent more than a week here inside this room and it was torture, she could hear anyone, she couldn''t see anyone, there is no entertainment. The only sound she ever heard was the small door opening and the food te sliding in and out of this room, she craved human contact right now, being a person who loves attention, not being able to see any human or talk to them was torture to her. ?? She has been staring at this wall for days now, in a few more days she will start to treat this white wall as her friend. As she continued to stare at the wall, she suddenly heard the door click open, she got excited, she knew it is not the small food window as she has heard it multiple times throughout the week. She can easily differentiate between the small food door and the actual door, she quickly turned her head to look at the person who just opened the door, she believed that her boss came to free her and now she can go back to her previous lifestyle. But her dreams soon crumbled as she looked at the person who just entered the cell, this was the same person that is the reason behind her current situation, this person is the one who captured her and handed her over to the police. And she believes he is also the reason why she is being kept in solitary confinement. Aliana "You? What are you doing here? Who let you in?" She asked. She knows this is the person who caused her suffering but she didn''t hate him as much as she feared him, she clearly remembered that day, how this person made her feel powerless. She had never felt that before, even though she couldn''t see his face, she could recognize those eyes which gave of a very powerful aura, even now those eyes were looking down on her like those of a predator''s. Julian "I came here to finish my iplete business with you, I still haven''t asked you any questions about your little faction". Julian said and sat right beside her, Aliana didn''t know what to do, she just sat there while staring at Julian wondering what he will do next. Julian "Let''s talk about you first, how long have you been working for Team re" Aliana stayed silent as she didn''t want to talk to him. Julian "Speak, ourst conversation was interrupted by an unwanted guest, this time you are trapped inside this room with me, no one will interfere" He said as he removed his mask, there is no point in hiding his identity in front of Aliana anymore, by the time he gets out of this room, she would never reveal his secret. Aliana "It''s you, Julian!" She couldn''t believe the person who put her in such a state is none other than Julian, the world-famous trainer, who is known to be the strongest. Aliana "You can''t force me to do anything" She uttered while ring back at Julian. Julian "Are you sure about that,st time I almost had you under my control. You really think I cannot make you talk?" Julian asked with a smile, hearing him Aliana thought about that day, how Julian had total control over her, if not for the police, she wouldn''t know what would happen to her. Aliana "I don''t believe you". Even though she went through all this torture she still believes in her skill to stay strong, she didn''t want to believe any guy could just control her like Julian did that day, she believed it was just a fluke. Julian "Are you sure about it?" He asked with a smile. Julian "Remember carefully what happened that day, how I pinned you down while you were helpless, as I touched you, you gave meplete control over your body. You even begged me to finish you, can''t you remember?" Julian asked her again. Aliana thought about that day as Julian asked her to, she remembered Julian standing behind her and suddenly pinning her down to the desk, then she remembered him chocking her forcing her to reveal some information about Team re. Then she remembered how he used his fingers to touch her vagina giving the pleasure she never felt before, as soon as these thoughts entered her mind, she started to feel wet down there. As she is wearing a prison outfit no one can see how wet she is down there but it was building up, just remembering that day made her so horny, she looked at Julian wondering if she could really be able to withstand him. Seeing her reaction, Julian knew he hit the target, just by observing her bodynguage he knew she eased up a little in front of her, he also saw her rubbing her legs holding them tightly trying to cover her downstairs. Julian smiled and advanced, seeing Julian''s advance Aliana quickly got up and backed up to the wall she has been staring at for days, Julian also got up to his feet and got close to her. He then put his arms next to beside her, blocking her path to escape. Julian "Let''s see if you really can handle it." Chapter 1062 - Bringing Under Control (18+) Julian closed Aliana''s path to escape with both of his hands and got closer to her, Aliana started to breathe heavily, just having Julian near her caused her heartbeat to rise, not from fear but from excitement, even though she acted like she is scared. In the back of her mind, she wanted to know how Julian will take over her body. ?? Julian then put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer grabbing tightly to her butt, Aliana gritted her teeth and stared right into his eyes. Julian "Did you like the solitary confinement?" He asked with a smile. Aliana "Fuck off" She retorted back. Julian "With all the things you and your group has done, this little punishment is nothing, if I had no use for you, you would be facing a life sentence inside this room" He said. Hearing the words life sentence sent a chill down her spine, she hasn''t lived inside this room for more than two weeks and is already going mad, she couldn''t imagine how she would spend all her life confined between these in white walls. Julian "Scared?" Julian asked as he noticed the fear in her eyes, as he had expected, solitary confinement was too much for this girl, he made the right decision, her mental strength is already weak after being isted so breaking her should be much easier for him. Aliana "Never" Julian "Sure, whatever you say" He said and moved his hand up her body and grabbed her breasts, Aliana let out a moan as she felt his strong hands fondling her, Julian didn''t waste any time and ripped her prison uniform open revealing her big soft breasts. He got closer to them and started to suck on them, Aliana bit her lips and closed her eyes as she felt an electric sensation run down her body, she let out another moan as her face flushed red, her eyes became moist and she slowly licked her lips. She brought her legs together tightly shutting them as she felt her vagina getting wetter and it started to stain her prison trousers, Julian could smell her, he knew his magic was working but seeing how Aliana is trying to be indifferent was something new. Aliana is a woman who likes to be in a powerful position, someone who will always want to be dominant in nature but now she has an encounter with someone who is at the highest of the food chain and she is having a hard time excepting it. Julian "Why resist so much?" Julian got closer to her ear and whispered, just having him so close and his breath touching her neck caused her to shiver. Aliana "I am not resisting, you just have no effect on me". She omitted as she tried her best to resist, seeing how persistent she really is, Julian decided to increase his game, he suddenly but down on her nipple and pulled it softly while still applying some suction pressure from his mouth. This time Aliana couldn''t handle the pleasure and cried out in pleasure, Julian then used his hand and started to rub her vagina over her drenched trouser. As soon as Julian increased his actions, Alianapletely lost it as she felt the pleasure running through her body, she looked straight into Julian''s eyes and saw how he looked down on her, for the first time in life she felt great while being looked down. Seeing Aliana has finally stopped resisting, he stopped sucking on her tits and let it go, her breasts are now pink in color from what he did to her. He then pressed her tight against the wall and increased the pace of his finger on her vagina, Aliana''s legs went weak as she couldn''t handle it anymore, she started to squirt soon afterpletely drenching her trouser. Aliana trembled as she released all her fluids from her vagina, even though the trouser, Julian''s hand was soaked, he looked at his wet hand and brought it closer to Aliana''s mouth and put his finger inside it. Aliana muffled as she felt Julian''s two-finger entering her mouth, she felt her tongue being pressed by them, the taste of her own fluids lingered on her tongue. Julian "Would you look at that? Who would have thought you wille so fast" Julian said as Aliana continued to suck on his fingers, he then removed his fingers from her mouth leaving a trail of saliva behind, he then put his hands on top of her shoulder and put her on her knees, Aliana didn''t even resist andplied to his action. Her eyes looked at the massive bulge in his pants as she anticipated his dick. Julian "Hands behind your back" Julian ordered and Aliana didn''t question it at all, she simply put her hands behind her back and locked them by intertwining her fingers. With her upper body exposed, kneeling in front of Julian with her hands behind her back, she looked like a submissive slut, Julian then unzipped his pants andpletely took them off revealing his massive dick. He ced his dick right on her face, Aliana was shocked by the size of it, she has never seen a dick so big before, she has had her fair share of big dicks but Julian''s is even bigger, she felt the warm dick twitching on her face, this excited her a lot. Julian looked at Aliana and saw her marveling at his dick, he then started to rub his dick on her face slowly, she even willingly opened her mouth and pulled out her tongue for Julian to rub on it. As Julian looked at Aliana''s state, he got very excited, he then suddenly thought about how his fianc¨¦es would reach seeing this, he thought of something and pulled out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Jenny who is standing guard outside. Outside the solitary confinement, Jenny stood there wondering what is happening inside, she imagined her master having his way with the criminal and punishing her for her crimes, just thinking about it made her really wet. As she was about to start pleasuring herself, her phone buzzed, she looked at the message and noticed that it is her master and he is calling her inside. Jenny got excited and took out the only other key that could open this door, the master key. As soon as he walked in she saw her master''s massive dick on the criminal''s face. Aliana who was still marveling at his dick was shocked by the sudden entrance of Jenny, she panicked and wondered if Julian will be thrown out but to her surprise, Officer Jenny didn''t do anything. Julian "Jennye here" He ordered. Jenny obediently approached Julian and stood in front of him while looking at Aliana with envy, she wanted to also be treated like this. Julian "Take my phone and record us" Julian said and gave her his phone, he wanted to surprise his fianc¨¦es with this little gift, he knows that they loved when they see Julian dominate other women. Jenny got excited and took his phone and started recording. Chapter 1063 - Completely His (18+) Not only is Aliana shocked, but she also can''t tell if what is happening right now is real or not, Julian was ordering Officer Jenny to record them, she wanted to go against it but she couldn''t voice it out at all. She realized that there is no escaping this, she is fully under Julian''s control and she started to love it, she knew that she will be obsessed with it and she loved the thought of it. ?? Jenny "Yes Master!" Jenny said. Hearing Officer Jenny call him her master, Aliana realized that even Jenny belonged to him, she soon started to connect everything, her fate was decided the moment she met Julian, she realized that she was bound to be his, even Officer Jenny was being so obedient to him, how could she evenpare. Jenny then went to the corner of the room and hit the record button, and Julian continued having fun, he started to rub the tip of his dick on Aliana''s wet tongue, his precum dripped down his penis and entered her mouth as Aliana got the taste of it. He then slowly started to put his whole dick inside her mouth, at first Aliana was able to keep herposer but soon she started to realized that his dick was still notpletely inside her mouth, she suddenly gagged as Julian''s dick touched her uv but Julian didn''t stop, he continued to push it further. Aliana''s eyes went wide as she felt his dick going deeper and deeper, her throat expanded taking the shape of his dick, her eyes started to water up and be a little red, Julian grabbed her head so she couldn''t move. After his dick was fully inside her mouth he held it inside for at least 15 seconds before taking it out, as soon as he did, Aliana started to cough a lot, her saliva flew out as she tried topose herself, Julian left her be for a few seconds before grabbing her face and putting his dick inside her mouth again. He did the same a few more times, he slowly watched as Aliana got used to it, Jenny was also having a great time, with one hand she recorded Julian''s action in detail while with the other hand she slowly pleasured herself and made sure that the video is not ruined, she didn''t want to upset her master. Once Aliana calmed down, he put his dick inside her mouth again and started to deep throat her, Aliana''s eyes went wide again, and tears started to flow down her eyes, she looked at Julian while Julian looked at her eyes, those eyes showingplete submission to him and filled with lust. Jenny made sure to capture this moment as well, she wanted to record everything in detail, he deepthroated her for fifteen minutes before finally releasing a massive load down her throat, he did give her a few seconds to collect her breath in between so she won''t choke. Once he was done deepthroating her, Aliana felt her throat burning and her jaw hurting a little, with her hands and knee on the ground, she looked up at Julian wanting more of his touch. Julian squatted down and pinched Aliana''s cheeks with one hand and turned her face around to admire this sexy slut, he got another beauty in his collection. He then lifted her from the floor and tossed her on the bed, Aliana squeaked like a rat as she was thrown like a rag doll, she had no chance of resisting Julian and his strength, she looked at Jenny and noticed how the officer is continuing to pleasure herself while recording her. Julian then got closer to Aliana and looked at her drenched trousers and ripped them off revealing her smooth white pussy, her pussy looks very soft and had no trace of hair at all, Julian didn''t mind the empty field, he spread her legs apart to take a better look at her pussy. As he took a closer look, he realized that her pussy is very smallpared to his other women, maybe the smallest one he has ever seen, he hadn''t realized it before but now seeing it made him a little excited. He could already see she is drenching down there, he looked at Jenny and saw that she is still recording while ying with herself, he also noticed the handcuffs around her waist and got an idea. Julian "Handcuff her hands to the bed" He ordered. Jenny nodded excitedly and got closer to Aliana handcuffed both of her hands and then locked them to the bed, now with both her hands over her head, her breasts looked and felt more bouncy as they were being stretched. Jenny recorded everything, even her handcuffing Aliana, she then focused the camera on the main character of this video as he started to rub his dick on Aliana''s wet pussy, he could already feel how tight her small pussy is really going to be and he is going to enjoy it. Aliana also moved her hips anticipating Julian to enter her but she realized that he is still messing with her by looking at the smile on her face. Julian "Do you want it?" Julian asked. Aliana didn''t even hesitate and nodded her head, she really wanted Julian to fuck her very badly. Julian "Then what do you need to do? Do I have to tell everything?" Julian said and continued to teach her. Aliana hesitated and looked at Jenny and back at Julian. Aliana "Master" She said with a very low voice like a mosquito. Julian "What? Speak louder" Julian ordered in an assertive voice. Aliana "Master, please fuck this slutty ve of yours" She said with her voice filled with obedience and lust, Julian smirked and slowly pressed the tip of his dick inside her pussy, her small pussy started to stretch open, and Aliana squeaked and dug her finger into the hard mattress of the bed. Julian didn''t stop and continued entering her pussy, even with how much her pussy was lubed by her own fluids, it was still very hard to enter her, her pussy was really the tightest one he has ever entered. Aliana suddenly screamed as her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she felt her small tight pussy being stretchedpletely, she grunted in pleasure and pain, the pain was great as this is the first time something this big has ever entered her but the pleasure was on another level, itpletely overwhelmed the pain she felt. Julian didn''t stop ever after her scream, he started to fuck her, he was slow at first as her pussy is still adjusting to his size but then he became rough, pounding her harder and harder, his balls pped her buttcheeks and made loud noises. Aliana''s moans were incredibly loud, she moaned like a squealing cat as Julian''s dick continued to hit the deepest part of her vagina, her walls have beenpletely stretched and are taking the shape of his dick. Her pussy is already turning pink from just a few minutes of pounding. Julian fucked her for an hour, releasing four massive loads deep inside her wombpletely filling her up, there was no doubt that Julian broke her. She ispletely his. Chapter 1064 - Introduction To The Admins (18+) Julian removed his dick from Aliana''s pussy and watched his sperm flow out of it, he has creampied her properly, Aliana''s hips continued to twitch as she is still experiencing her orgasm. Her eyes are rolled over, her mouth is wide open, saliva is dripped down from the side of her mouth, she is experiencing euphoria. ?? Julian then looked at Jenny who is still recording them while pleasuring herself slowly, she is biting her lips and rubbing her pussy through her ck thong. Julian "How was the recording?" Julian asked. Jenny "I did my best, master" She answered earnestly, Julian nodded his head and told her to stop recording, Jenny nodded and hit the stop button saving the very long sex tape in Julian''s phone. He then took his phone from her and put it away and looked at Jenny who is also drenched down there. Seeing Julian dominate and fuck Aliana so roughly made her extremely horny. Julian "Since you did a good job I will reward you" Julian said and grabbed her by her neck and pinned her to the wall, he used his hand to slide her thong to the side, and inside his dick deep inside her pussy, he used his other hand to only unbutton the top three buttons to expose her big bouncy breast as he continued to fuck her in her uniform as she wrapped her legs around his hips. Fucking a police officer in their uniform is very exciting, Jenny''s moans became louder and louder as she drowned herself in pleasurepletely ignoring everything around her but her master, Julian kissed her aggressively while fucking her. Aliana who came back to her sense watched as Julian had his way with Officer Jenny, she looked at Jenny''s expression and wondered if she was making the same expression as well. Officer Jennysted much longer than Aliana as she has some experience with Julian, she spent a whole week being fucked by him. After Julian was done, he let Jenny go, Jenny slid down the wall on her backpletely exhausted after a very intense two hours, she is still twitching and having an orgasm as Julian''s sperm flowed out of her pussy as well. Julian made sure to not stain her uniform so Jenny is very lucky but she does need to chance as she is covered in sweat. Julian then turned his attention back to Aliana who seems to bepletely awake and stared at Jenny with her big seductive eyes. Julian "Enjoyed the show?" Julian asked. Aliana "Yes master" She replied whileplete obedience. Julian "Good, from now you belong to me and only me, you will do everything I say, do you understand?" Julian asked. Aliana "I will do anything for Master" Julian "Good, now let''s get back to where we were before all this happened. How long have you been working for your old boss?" Julian asked. Aliana "I have been working for him before he even started Team re" Aliana answered. Julian is surprised to hear this. Julian "Are every admin simr to you? did they work for your former boss before he started Team re" Julian asked. Aliana "Yes" Julian nodded. Since Aliana won''t lie to him Julian knew that the admins are loyal to their boss just like Aliana was until Julian conquered her. Julian "How many admins are there in Team re?" Julian asked. Aliana "Including me, there are seven admins, Me, Bryony, Celosia, Mable, Xerosic, and the two twins Nico and Ze" (Nico and Ze are made-up names as I couldn''t find their real names) She answered. Julian "So five females and two males?" Aliana "Yes" Julian "And are they on friendly terms with each other?" Aliana "No but when their boss orders them, they will work together and won''t fight each other" She said. Julian "Tell me about them" Aliana "First is Bryony, she is a year older than me, very arrogant, is a bitch and looks down on others, she had green short hair. Thenes Celosia, who is two years older than me, is a rude bitch and also looks down on others, has purple hair simr to my hair length. Then there is Mable, who is a year younger than me, is also a very rude bitch, very arrogant, but she is also the strongest trainer among the four of us and likes to always state this fact in front of us. Then there are the two twins, Nico is the bald brother, he doesn''t talk much and just follows orders, and his younger sister Ze, she is also the same, she doesn''t talk much as well, these two are inseparable, they go everywhere together, I believe they even have sex with each other. Then finally there is Xerosic, the leader of the group, he is the directmand after the boss and is in charge of all the main projects, he also calls all the shots for other admins, he is extremely cruel and maniptive" Aliana gave a short detail on every Team re admin, from what Julian heard there is not much difference between Aliana, Bryony, Celosia, and Mable, all are women with powerful positions and they look down on others, they alsopete with each other for attention, but that is just their general behavior, even if two people have the same personality from the outside, they can be very different. He then thinks about the twins that Aliana talked about, they seem to be the quietest of the bunch and will be the hardest to deal with as they are always together, and as for the incest part, Julian is curious. Then their leader Xerosic, Julian really doesn''t need to worry about him, he just needs to make sure that everything falls under his n before this Xerosic finds out as he is the only one who seems to be intelligent enough to handle women like Aliana and the rest. As Julian thought about the Team re rankings, he suddenly thought of something and decided to go with it, he wants to establishplete control over Team re and he ns to do it by bringing some of the admins to his side. Chapter 1065 - Plan In Motion Julian decided to conquer the other three admins in Team re, Bryony, Celosia, and Mable. They seem to be the main force of Team re, the strongest trainers in Team re, if Julian has them under him, he will have more control over Team re than the boss himself. As for the other three, Julian decided to leave them alone. The twins are of no interest to him and Xerosic is a guy and Julian has no interest in bringing a guy under him, Julian likes having sexy women work for him. ?? Julian "Now the final question, what is your former boss''s name?" Aliana "Lysandre" She answered. Hearing her answer Julian was surprised. Julian "Tall dude with orange hair and beard?" Julian specified the description of the person he met before. Aliana "Yes, that him" She answered. Julian ''No wondered I felt that bastard was up to no good. I had my doubts and now I can confirm it, he is the leader of Team re'' Julian thought and smirked, he is about to end Lysandre''s dream. Julian "Now listen to me, and do everything as I say" With Aliana acting as his first puppet, he came up with a n to take over Team re and slowly destroy it from the inside. He ordered her to return to Team re and keep an eye on the three admins, Bryony, Celosia, and Mable, and if Aliana ever finds one of them isted alone with her because of some kind of mission, she is to inform him about them. Julian will then tell her to bring them to a specific ce where he can work his magic, it is a very simple n but very effective as well. Aliana nodded, even though she doesn''t get along with the other members of Team re, for her master she is willing to be friends with them. Julian "Tell me what Lysandre is nning to do?" Julian asked, he is always curious about the ns that these idiots who want to rule the worlde up with, he wanted to know what is Lysandre''s end goal. Aliana "He believes that this current world is filled with imperfect beings, humans and pokemons are corrupted so he wants to fix it" Julian "And how does he n to do so?" Aliana "I don''t know the specifics but it involves the legendary pokemon Zygarde, Lysandre is obsessed with catching it" Aliana replied. Julian ''These idiots never realize what they are really messing with'' Julian thought about the stupidity of Lysandre''s n but he could tell why would someone go after these legendaries, these pokemon have the power to destroy the world if they wanted to, so if a humanes in possession of such power, it can be catastrophes. Julian "Is that all you know about?" Aliana "Yes, Lysandre is very secretive, he keeps every detail to himself and only gives out things that cannot be hidden for his ns to work" Aliana said. Julian "Well, it won''t matter at the end of the day, he will crumble like everyone who went against me" Julian said with a cold glint in his eyes, seeing Julian''s expression Aliana''s heart started to beat faster, her master looked very cool just a moment ago, she fell in love. Aliana "Master can do anything" She said. Julian just smirked and looked at Jenny who is showing signs of getting back to her feet, Jenny stood up and adjusted her skirt, she is having a hard time standing up as her legs are still a little numb and they are shaking a lot. Julian "Get her new clothes and release her in two days, and for the next two days you can have your way with her if you want" Julian ordered and got up, hearing him Jenny got a little excited. Julian wanted to reward her for the good job she did, Julian has noticed that his women have a dominant side to them and they like to express it on his other women, like Chloe and Daisy. Chloe and Daisy have multiple tapes of them and in every one of them Chloe has a dominant side to her and she enjoys dominating Daisy, same with his two ves back in Kanto, Jenny and Joy, Jenny seems to be the dominant one in the rtionship and Joy likes to be dominated. Even Cynthia has a dominant side to her but she also loves to get dominated by Chloe and Daisy sometimes, it is as if there is a hierarchy among his women. He knows Jenny will enjoy this gift from him. Jenny "Thank you master" Jenny said happily as she looked at Aliana who is still tied up, Aliana also has an idea of what is about to happen but she doesn''t know how she feels about it, but since this is her master''s order she willply with it. Julian "I wille back in two days, you can release her after I check on her". Jenny "Don''t worry master, I will take good care of this ve of yours" She said with a smile. Julian didn''t say anything and just walked out of the solitary confinement room, Jenny soon followed right behind him with her wobbly legs, she is still struggling but she can handle herself. They both made their way back to her office, lucky for Jenny no one seem to have noticed her wobbly legs as they were busy with their work. Julian left after five minutes and headed back to his apartment, he couldn''t wait to show his fianc¨¦es the video he just shot. Chapter 1066 - Next Destination - Laverre City Julian returned back to his apartment and waited for his fianc¨¦es toe back but before they arrived he made special preparation for them, he decorated the room and made a lot of delicious food, since he will be leaving the city soon, he wanted to give them a big surprise. Who knows how long it will take him toe back to Lumiose city again. ?? When Chloe and Daisy returned they were surprised by what they saw, they were excited about all the delicious food that is on the table, they are excited about being with Julian tonight, They both tightly held onto his arms and didn''t let go, they knew that Julian is about to leave soon again and they wanted to spend every second remaining with him. The night was wild, they even watched the video Jenny shot for Julian, they were surprised to see it but they were also very excited. Chloe "Can you bring her over?" Chloe even asked him this question to which he denied. Julian "She has some important work to do". Julian''s reply of course disappointed Chloe but she still wanted to know who she was and what was Julian''s purpose, Julian slowly exined to them what he was up to. Since they are his fianc¨¦es, he has nothing to hide from them, they already know that Julian has saved many regions multiple times. Even they are stunned by the stupidity of these people, they never understood why these people with power go around causing a mess for no reason other than self-benefit, they could never understand someone who is after world domination, it is the stupidest thing one could think of. Not only will the ordinary people get hurt, but even they themselves will also end in demise, with world dominationes resistance, and once resistance is formed, no matter how powerful the ruler is they will always fall and history has been the proof of it, multiple times tyrants came and died under the hands of the people they tried to suppress, the same fate will wait for the people who n to do the same in the future as well. The rest of the night, Julian, Chloe, and Daisy spent having a st with the recorded video ying on the big screen, this excited them even more. _________________ Julian spent the other two days having fun with them, they also took two days off before Julian leaves, after two days Julian packed up his things and left before saying goodbye to his fianc¨¦es. Before he left the city, he visited Officer Jenny onest time and she took him back into the underground solitary confinement, when he walked in he was surprised to see Aliana''s current state, she is tied up with ropes around her body. There was clearly some BDSM going on here, Jenny was having a lot of fun with Aliana locked up here, he could also see it in Aliana''s face as well, she was enjoying this as much as Jenny. Julian "You did a number on her" Julian said as he stood in front of Aliana, Aliana saw Julian and got excited. Aliana "Wee back Master" She said with a smile on her face while she is still tied up. Jenny "Just like you said master, I made sure she will never misbehave" Jenny who stood right behind him said. Julian checked on Aliana''s condition and made sure that she didn''t suffer any physical injuries because this BDSM shit can get pretty wild if one party doesn''t voice out their concern or the other party doesn''t stop. Seeing no bruise or cuts on her Julian is relieved, Jenny didn''t go too far with her. Julian "Release her" Julian ordered and looked straight into Aliana''s eyes. Julian "You know the n right?" Julian asked her. Aliana "Don''t worry master, I have it ingrained in my mind, I will do as you say" Aliana said. Julian "Good, I will be leaving then" Julian said and left, he has nothing else to do here and he has already nned his next destination, Laverre city, the city where he will have his sixth gym battle, he didn''t look much into this gym yet because he was busy spending his time with his fianc¨¦es. He walked out of the police station and took out his bike and rode towards the north gate of the city which will lead him to Laverre city, the city is quite famous for its clothing business. A lot of textile industries are situated in Laverre city making it the capital of clothing, as this is a clothing capital there are also many fashion designers in this city, manye here to learn fashion designing. Even the gym leader of Laverre city seems to be a very famous fashion designer, Julian wondered if he should buy some clothes for his fianc¨¦es when he gets there but on second thought, he realized that they have too many dresses with them. Julian ''Well, maybe I will see if I can find any unique ones for them to buy'' He thought and headed towards the northern gate of Lumiose city and left. Chapter 1067 - Awakening As Julian entered route 14 he was already greeted by multiple swamps at the very beginning, he knew that this route will be filled with water bodies but he didn''t expect to encounter them so early in the route. He continued to ride through the terrain while avoiding the solid asphalt road as he wanted to see if he can encounter some wild pokemons that might catch his attention. ?? He was also in search of the pseudo legendary pokemon Goomy, he isn''t fully interested in catching one yet because he already has a dragon-type pokemon on his team, and adding another one would just limit the versatility of his team. Having no sess in finding a decent pokemon, Julian decided to set up a tent near a massive water body surrounded by small water bodies, Gengar made sure that they were not disturbed by scaring away every wild pokemon around the area. After setting up the tent Julian released all his pokemon and let them take in their new surroundings, the only pokemon that didn''t join his other pokemons is a small green squishy pokemon with an orange octagon on its chest. It''s the Zygarde core, once Julian had captured it, it sent away all of its cells back into the wild and went back into its core form, the Zygarde core has been observing all of Julian''s pokemon for days now, the more it observed the more it was surprising, it could see this inseparable bond between these pokemons. A bond so strong that nothing could break it, there were fights and rivalry between some of these pokemons but they never resulted in a separation and the reason behind this bond is the human whomands them. Whenever the Zygarde core looks at Julian it could only see limitless energy surrounding it, it was as if the world was there to just feed him, a familiar but unknown power surrounded this human constantly making him an anomaly in its eyes. Even after days of observing it couldn''te up with a conclusion, throughout its whole immortal lifespan, from the very beginning of this world, Zygarde has seen beings with immeasurable power, even the original form of Dialga and Palkia themselves but even they didn''t seem to have this power as this human does. The only thing it knows is that this human is connected to something greater than this world itself. The Zygarde core approached Julian who is lying down on his recliner chair enjoying the bright sun, it hopped on top of Julian''s chest and looked right into his eyes. Julian [What is it?] Julian asked. He never bothered questioning the Zygarde cell even once, he let it do anything it wants, he only called it back when they were about to leave, this is the first time the Zygarde core approached him on its own. Zygarde Core [What is this energy around you?] It asked. Julian was not too surprised by this, he has met pokemons that have seen or sensed the Omniforce around him, Zygarde being one of the strongest legendary pokemon will no doubt be able to see or sense. Julian [Curious?] Julian asked and smiled. He of course knew that Zygarde core would be interested in Omniforce, he still remembered the day he found the Mew nest and how wild they went when they learned about Omniforce. Zygarde [Yes] It answered back without any hesitation, Julian thought about it for a second before deciding to tell it. Julian [It''s Omniforce, the very building block of the universe and beyond, it exists everywhere and I mean everywhere, even in the emptiness of the void you can find it] Julian exined, he didn''t need to go into detail because even he didn''t know much about it, he is far from understanding it himself, after hearing Julian''s answer Zygarde core didn''t know what to think of it, what to do with this information. It cannot use it so it''s useless, it''s like a human has the knowledge of the whole universe but will never be able to tell it to anyone because he would die before he could evenplete one percent of it from old age. Though Zygarde is an eternal pokemon with a limitless lifespan it will never be able to use Omniforce so its knowledge ispletely useless to it, Zygarde core then went back to observing Julian''s pokemon and learning from them little by little. Even though it has lived such a long life, it was intrigued by the training that his pokemon go through, Zygarde believed it can implement some of it during its own battle. As Julianid on the chair, he suddenly felt something, a sudden burst of energying from his dimensional pouch, as soon as he felt this energy he knew what it is from. He quickly took out a Pokeball and released the dormant Crystal from inside, he watched as a blinding white light covered itpletely, his other pokemons were also taken back by this and they covered their eyes. Zygarde core also carefully watched the blinding light, the light was able to reenergize it faster than the sun rays themselves, the feeling also was very pleasant to it. The light soon started to fade away and the silhouette of Crystal was slowly revealed, there seem to be no changes in its appearance at all, it remained the same tiny mouse-like pokemon with two long tails, big eyes, and the shining red crystal in between its eyes. Chapter 1068 - Serial Hugger As the light faded away Crystal once again appeared in front of everyone, it slowly opened its eyes and looked around curiously, it then looked at Julian and got very excited, it rushed towards Julian and grabbed onto his face tightly and rubbed its cheeks on his face as fast as it could. Julian also smiled after feeling the soft face on Crystal on his cheeks as well, he picked up the little guy on his hand and looked at it, there seem to be no changes in Crystal at all except its power, the sudden surge within its power seems to be massive. ?? The energy it observed from that ice te seems to have done its job. Julian''s other pokemon also curiously stared at the little guy in Julian''s hand, many of them had never seen Crystal as Julian had never brought it out, it was sleeping peacefully inside its own Pokeball. The ones who had already seen Crystal are happy that the little mischief-maker is awake again while the new pokemons arepletely clueless as to who this is, even the Zygarde core is surprised by the appearance of this new pokemon in Julian''s team. From the looks of it, it looked like a Mew to it but from what it knows a Mew doesn''t have two tails and a crystal on its head, this was a pokemon even it has not seen to this day. Julian "Go and greet others and don''t cause trouble" Julian let go of the little guy after stroking it with his finger, Crystal went and greeted the older pokemon first before looking at younger ones, the ones that have never seen Crystal before. Crystal is as curious as Julian''s new pokemons regarding each other, Crystal first approaches Floette and circles around it before climbing up onto her flower and giving it a big tight hug, Floette was surprised by this but she liked it as well, it was quite cute disy. The same treatment was given to all of his pokemon, some tried to resist but they realized that they are powerless against the little guy''s hug, this little guy has too much power in its little hands. No one was safe from its hugs, no matter how fast they tried to run, they were chased down till the end and were given a hug all while smiling widely, after chasing down everyone Crystal turned its attention to the Zygarde core. Zygarde core who was watching this suddenly started to panic as it noticed Crystal who had its back turned its way slowly turn around and see a glint in its eyes as Crystal stared at Zygarde core. Zygarde core turned its back and tried to hop away but even it couldn''t outrun the hugging monster, Crystal broke through the sound barrier and appeared right on top of Zygarde core, andnded on top of its big head. Zygarde panicked and tried to shake it off but it was of no use, Crystal spread its arms widely and tightly held onto Zygarde''s head giving it a big tight hug, after struggling for a minute Zygarde finally gave up exhausted from all that moving with a pokemon simr to its size on top of its head. Zygarde core thought that once it had enough with the hug it will leave but boy it was wrong, Crystal just found a new favorite ce for it to rest, with how squishy the Zygarde core is Crystal got addicted to pocking it with its tiny hands and seeing it bounce back. Zygarde looked at Julian for help but Julian turned his head away, now that Crystal has found someone else to bother he is not going to miss this chance of not having an annoying little mischief-maker around him, he is going to enjoy his time not being annoyed. _________________ Julian continued with his day and training his pokemon, his main focus right now is his Charmander, as he is the newest addition to the team and is at a very low level, Julian made sure to make Charmander his priority until he catches up with his other pokemons. This is one of the reasons why Julian avoids catching pokemon who are at a very low level at ater stage of his journey but Charmander was too good of a pokemon to let go, under Julian Charmander will be the strongest Charizard to ever exist. Thanks to Charmander being one of those pokemons that grow up very fast Charmander will be able to catch up to others, Julian also wants to make sure that Charmander masters his energy before he evolves as well. Charmander had to train harder than others but he didn''t back down, even though he is arrogant he still puts in a lot of effort so that he can continue to grow strong and stay arrogant. Soon a week went by as Julian traveled through the swamps in search of pokemons that he can add to the team but his search only led him to disappointment. Chapter 1069 - Laverre City With no pokemon that impressed him, Julian could only leave the swamp in disappointment, he didn''t even get a glimpse of Gloomy though he searched as much as he could. He finally gave up on the idea of catching one as he already has a dragon type on his team and his Charmander an almost dragon, he doesn''t think he needs one more dragon type. ?? Putting aside the thought of catching a Gloomy, Julian made his way out of the swamps and headed to Laverre City, as he got close to the city and saw its outskirts he was surprised, he saw that the city is surrounded by colorful flowers. As he got closer he was mesmerized by its beauty, the city is very different from any other city he has visited in Kalos, every house is surrounded by beautiful flowers, some houses are built on trees while some are built right inside a tree. A unique city that he has never seen before, the city is also quite big with thousands of people living here, as he entered through the gate, he was stopped by the guards at the entrance of the city and asked him to put away his bike as no motor vehicles are allowed to be ridden inside the city. Instead, people are to only use cycles and if they did use some kind of vehicle it has to be electric, Julianplied with the rules and put away his bike and rented a cycle for himself, and rode into the city, as soon as he entered, Crystal who is awake now popped out its head and looked around excitedly. It has been months since it has seen people and eaten delicious food, it nudged Julian every time they passed through a food store, Julian had to push its head back every time it popped its head out and told Julian to buy it something. Julian is not going to make it a habit and spoil Crystal so he denied it every time. He then rode towards the closest hotel and book himself a room, this hotel is fully built from wood and a massive tree has grown right in the middle of the hotel, this tree is also used as a staircase to reach the upper levels of the hotel. Julian got himself a VIP room and headed upward, the hotel is quite big and he imed three floors before finally reaching his room, once he entered his room he found a very cozy room, the windows are wide open and the branches from the trees are very close to the window from which berries and fruits are hanging. This is the reason why this is a VIP room, not only is it luxurious and big, there is also free ess to all the fruits that are hanging close to the window, Julian picked up some fruits and gave them to Crystal as it was begging him for something to eat. Getting all the fruits, Crystal got very happy and started to munch down on them with its small mouth little by little making cute sounds while doing so. Julian left Crystal on its own and sat down on the bed and took out hisptop to look into his next challenge, the gym leader of Laverre city''s gym Valerie. He looked up Valerie as he wanted to see how good his next opponent really is, information soon appeared on his screen and he was surprised to see how beautiful this gym leader really is, rivaling his own fianc¨¦es when ites to beauty standards. She has pale skin, shiny long ck hair, grey eyes, wearing modernized traditional clothes, she is not only a very strong gym leader but also a very famous fashion designer, her name is very well known around the world and her designs are very well known and exclusive in the industry. Julian was surprised by learning all this, he never understood the concept of paying millions of dors for clothes but since he can buy one, he might buy some for his fianc¨¦es if he can. After getting distracted by useless information for a few minutes Julian got back to looking into her gym-rted stuff. After looking into it he found some useful information, her winning record is impressive with an 80% win rate against any first-time challengers, he then looked into her team and saw that she favored two-on-two battles rather than a traditional three-on-three pokemon battle. He then looked into her pokemons and she seems to favor using, Spritzee, Sylveon, and Mawile, she doesn''t seem to have an ace as she battled with equal skill with all of them, Julian wanted to see how her skills to fare against him. After looking at some of her exhibition battles, he closed hisptop and started to think of the pokemons he will be using in the uing gym battle. Since she is a fairy type gym leader, her team will be weak to poison and steel, he can use Skrelp for this battle as he hardly fought in hisst one, as for the other one, he ns to use uncher who is about to evolve, he is just holding back his evolution, Julian ns to evolve him before he goes and challenges Valerie. Hisst choice will be Floette as she hasn''t had a battle for a long time. After thinking for a while he leaves the hotel and heads to the nearest pokemon park to train. Chapter 1070 - Rivalry Amongst His Pokemons Finding himself a quiet ce to train inside the pokemon park, it was quite hard to find a ce with no people around, since this is a very big city many people and trainerse here to either see pokemon battles for free or to train their own pokemon. Many trainers face off against each other to get better while others stick to their usual training and avoid battles so that their strategies cannot be stolen by other trainers. ?? Julian also preferred to train alone because the level of trainers found here are too weak and will never pose a challenge to his pokemons, the best way for his pokemons to train is to battle amongst themselves. Once he found a quiet ce he released all his pokemon and told them to train among themselves while keeping his focus on three pokemons in front of him, Skrelp, uncher, and Floette. Julian decided to use Floette as she has not battled for quite a while, Skrelp battledst time in Lumiose city but the battle ended too quickly, and for uncher hisst battle was against the gym leader of Coumarine city, the gym Julian challenged right before Lumiose gym. After thinking for a while he decided to go with uncher, he ns to keep Skrelp on the bench from now on, he will need to evolve before he challenges any other gym in the future. Since he is still way behind his limit he will not evolve any soon and at this stage evolution matters because at his level some pokemons have already reached their final evolution while Skrelp is still stuck in his current state. As for uncher, he is holding back his evolution, he has already reached his limit and has mastered his elemental energy, he just needs a push and he will evolve and that is what Julian ns to do. Julian "Skrelp, go and train with others" Julian sent Skrelp away and looked at Floette and uncher, while Floette is modifying her battle style due to her evolution and perfecting her energy, uncher is at his limit and Julian cannot teach him anything new till he evolves, after giving it some thought Julian decided to make them battle. Julian "You both will be battling against each other, you both can go all out" Julian said and cleared up some space for them to battle each other, both Floette and uncher took their stance facing each other with a very serious look stered on their face, though they are family they all have a healthy rivalry among themselves and no one wants to be the weakest of the batch. To be the best of the team is very hard and not everyone can get that spot, it would mostly be a fight between Julian''s best pokemon like Doude or Porygon, and now there seems to be another new contender who is growing strong very fast and that is Charmander, as for the other spots there is always a rivalry between his other pokemons to im that spot. Sometimes they might be ced in third ce and sometimes they get ced at the bottomst, there doesn''t seem to be a fixed ranking amongst other pokemons in Julian''s team. The same happened with every other pokemon that belonged to Julian whether it was in Unova, Sinnoh, or Hoenn, the first and second ce contenders were always fixed while others would struggle to hold their ce in the ranking for more than a week. Just like in this region, Julian''s best pokemon are Doude and Porygon, and defeating them was very hard for his other pokemons. In Unova, the first and second ce was held by Darmanitan and Kyurem and if Kyurem is not involved then it is Escavalier. In Sinnoh, the rivalry between Garchomp and Crystal was never-ending, no other pokemon in that team to catch up to them. In Hoenn, it was Metagross and Tyranitar. Kanto was the only region where his pokemons had a power difference between them but the gap among the ones who ranked low was not that big at all, one had a victory over the other regardless of the ranking, only Infernape held onto the rank of number 1 and no one could steal it from him, then came Snox, at third ce was Heatran, Gyarados was 4th ce, Gengar was 5th, Electivire was 6th, Venusaur was 7th, Pidgeot was 8th, and Kabutops was 9th. _____________________ As Julian looked at the determination in Floette and uncher''s eyes, it reminded him of his other pokemons from the past, they were just like these two, always wanting to one-up the other and Julian never stopped them frompeting against each other, it just helped them train harder and if things ever got out of hand he would always step in and stop them. Julian "Start the battle" Julian gave the signal and both of them started the battle without a second to waste, Floette floated up in the air and used Magic Leaf, while uncher saw the iing attack and snapped open his big w and like a sharpshooter countered with Water Pulse which was shaped like a bullet. Chapter 1071 - Notice I know this looks like I am making excuses after excuses but this month has been really shitty to me, I lost my grandpa a few days ago, and now including me, my whole family hase down to high fever, we don''t know what it is yet, I just hope it''s not covid. I am also having severe headache and body pain, it feels like my legs went through some intense training. ?? With all this happening I can''t even think straight, let alone sit down for hours and write. I know you guys are waiting for quite long but I can''t do anything, healthes first. I hope that you guys can support me in this tough time. Thankyou. I don''t know when I will be back and let''s hope that it''s just a viral fever and nothing more. I hope you guys are safe as well. Chapter 1072 - Floette Vs Clauncher As both attacks collided it created quite a powerful shockwave, the Water Pulse shaped like a bullet sshed everywhere while the leaves were torn to pieces by the pressure. They didn''t stop their attack as Floette once again went on the offensive and this time used Vine Whip, five vine whips shot out from her flower and headed towards uncher in random unpredictable directions. Having no way to dodge every Vine Whiping towards him uncher used Icy Wind, he blew cold air towards the iing whips and froze them in mid-air, the whips cracked and shattered into pieces. uncher then shot multiple Water Pulse continuously at Floette, Floette moved around dodging those Water Pulse and retaliated with Magical Leaf and uncher countered with Icy Wind. This barrage of attacks continued, they kept countering and dodging each other''s attacks, this went on for quite a while and nobody got the upper hand, getting close was not an option as the other party can take advantage of this and start abo which can be very bad and neither Floette nor uncher want to risk it. But after some time both of them were forced to take action. If this continues both of them will bepletely exhausted and end up in a draw, Floette decided to charge at uncher as she clearly has the better mobility out of the two. Floette dashed towards uncher by faking another Vine Whip, uncher saw the iing Vine Whip and used Icy Wind to freeze and shatter them but he also noticed Floette charging towards him at the same time. He decided to take this opportunity and used Ice Beam, a sizzling cold beam of light shot towards Floette at extreme speed, Floette was of course expecting this and suddenly used Petal Blizzard around herself. She got surrounded by very fast-moving leaves covered with grass energy, as she moved along with it, it imitated a Giga Impact but with Petal Blizzard, as the Ice Beam got close to her, she moved to the side so that ites in contact with the edge of the spinning Petal Blizzard. As she continued to spin and move forward, the Ice Beam hit the petals and froze them on the spot but the Ice Beam was also deflected to the sides leaving Floettepletely unscathed, she then instantly reduced the distance between her and uncher and crashed into him with the Petal Blizzard. A massive explosion took ce as petals dispersed up in the air surrounding the whole area and uncher was sent rolling through the ground, he then crashed against a tree and came to a sudden stop. That attack was unique and Julian was happy to see Floettee up with its own variation of Petal Blizzard, as the move waspletely unexpected uncher got caught and that is all that Floette needs. Unlike other pokemons that they battle, Julian''s pokemons will never stop attacking because doing so will only put them at a disadvantage and the risk of getting hit is high from retaliation. Floette shot multiple Vine Whips at uncher as soon as he made contact with the tree, the Vine Whips finally were able to do their job, some of them wrapped around uncher instantly and the remaining ones started to whip him continuously. Being held in a very tight grip uncher had no were to escape, his main weapon, his massive w was disabled as it got pressed to his body by a whip that has tied him up tightly. He tried to struggle with brute strength but it was of no use, with his whole body up in the air, he couldn''t exert any force enough to get out of these Vine Whips, his body started to get covered in scratches as the other whips continued to whip him. Having no way to escape, uncher suddenly felt defeated and was about to give up when he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly used Protect in contact with his body and suddenly expanded it around him. The Vine Whips that was around his body tightly binding him suddenly got stretched due to the expanding forcefield, they got stretched to the limit and were ripped apart, the other Vine Whips couldn''t get through the forcefield either and uncher suddenly fell to the ground as nothing is holding him up in the air. Floette was surprised to see uncher escaping her grasp but she didn''t stop her attack, she used Magical Leaf as soon as uncher escaped her grasp, as uncher was falling down with a forcefield around him the Magical Lead made contact and destroyed the forcefield causing uncher tond on the ground unprotected. uncher bounced once and was about to stabilize again but Floette attacked again, this time she used Petal Blizzard again and sent to tornado made of petals and grass energy hurdling towards uncher. uncher in the state of bounce saw the iing attack and opened his w wide open locking onto the Petal Blizzard in an instant and used Scald. A jet to steaming hot water shot out of his w and pierced the tornado and hit Floette through it, Floette was caught and she didn''t expect it at all, uncher attacked from a very weird position, it was because of the sniping training that he went through along with Skrelp that he was able to pinpoint Floette''s position behind the Petal Blizzard and hit her. Both pokemon crashed on the ground, first uncher and then Floette. Chapter 1073 - Laverre City Gym As both Floette and uncher fell on the ground, they both tried to get back up, Floette had it a little easier as this is the first time she got hit in the battle but the damage was big. Scald is a very powerful water-type attack and it can also apply burn on the target, luckily for Floette, she didn''t get burned but the damage was still high. Floette tried to stabilize herself in the air and tried to recover from the damage, uncher also lifted his body up with the help of his tiny legs, even though he is in a weak state his gaze is still locked onto Floette. He snapped open his w and took aim, he then started to charge up for another Scald, even though he is in a very weak state, he didn''t want to miss this opportunity to take out his opponent, his opponent is still recovering from that Scald, one more and he will be able to end it. As he reached the limit to power up the Scald, he felt all the energy inside his body drain, he was fading away from exhaustion but he didn''t want to give up, he could see that his opponent is recovering and he needs to attack now. He gritted his teeth and with thest bit of energy, he tried to force the attack out of his w but he couldn''t, this made him push himself even further suddenly causing all the energy he charged up to cause a chain reaction in his body. His body suddenly started to glow very brightly, uncher started to evolve, his big w started to grow and didn''t stop. Itpletely overgrew his body itself, his body also seems to be changing but under the bright glow Julian couldn''t see the difference, once the blinding light fades away he could finally see what witzer looks like. The w which was already bigpared to his body size is now over 1.5 meters tall while his body is still less than a meter, his body is now darker in color and has sharp edges all over it, his w looks even more menacing. With this evolution, witzer finally got the upper hand, with some energy still remaining in his body, he used Scald once again, this time he didn''t have to put much effort into it. Floette also seems to haveposed herself as the evolution took some time, she didn''t waste a single moment and suddenly started to charge up for a Sr Beam. witzer shot the Scald at Floette and Floette also sted the Sr Beam, both attacks collided in mid-air, the collision caused the air around the collision to distort, the oxygen was burnt leaving nothing behind in the impact zone. They both tried to get the better of each other, while Sr Beam being a grass type has an advantage over the water type move like Scald but witzer has a better special attack stat so they seem to be evenly matched. The two attacks won''t stop colliding until one of them ispletely exhausted, they cannot take the risk of stopping, if one stops they will get hit and neither of them wants to take that risk. They both pushed the other to their limit, both of them started to get exhausted but Floette''s tank drained a lot faster and her Sr Beam weakened, this was enough for witzer to take advantage of it and he increased his pressure. The Scald suddenly started to push the Sr Beam behind and it finally reached Floette and hit her as hard as it could, Floette went spinning through the air andnded on the ground, Julian quickly checked on her and noticed that she got knocked out. Julian "The battler is over, the winner is witzer" He announced and picked up Floette in his arms and fed her some berries to replenish her energy, she opened her eyes and looked a little disappointed that she lost but Julian encouraged her to continue growing strong. She is still in her second stage of evolution so Julian has nothing to worry about, as for witzer, he just evolved and he needs to do a little more training before Julian goes and challenges the gym leader of Laverre city. Once the training was done, Julian returned back to his hotel room to rest for the day, the next few days went by as Julian continued to train his pokemon and look around the city, visiting different sites and enjoying his time here. With all the training done, it was time for him to challenge the gym, he woke up early in the morning, fed his pokemons, ate his breakfast, and headed straight towards the gym. The gym is on the northern side of the city. When he got there he was surprised to see the gym, the gym was built on top of a massive tree, from the looks of it, the tree seems to be very ancient, it was clearly thousand years old and still looks healthy, the gym that is built on top of it looks carefully constructed to make sure that it doesn''t hurt the tree in any way. Julian walked into the gym and was greeted by a youngdy wearing a beautiful traditional dress, she has brown long hair and a pretty smile on her face, as she noticed Julian she bowed her head and weed him. Chapter 1074 - Julian Vs Valerie Julian also nodded and epted her greeting, he wondered who this person is and what is her role in this gym. "Greetings, are you a challenger or a customer?" The beautifuldy asked. Julian "I am a challenger" Julian said. "Oh, then please head to the battlefield, I will inform the gym leader, she will be there shortly" Thedy said and guided him towards the battlefield, Julian entered the battlefield along with the beautifuldy, she soon left Julian behind all alone in the battlefield, he looked around and found nothing special about the battlefield. There seems to be no theme-based battlefield here as well, he only encountered theme-based battlefields in Kanto and Hoenn, battlefield here in Kalos is simple but it''srger than the ones in other regions. He had to wait for a while before the gym leader finally walked in with the same beautifuldy that brought him here. Julian looked at the gym leader and was surprised by how beautiful she looks, her long shiny ck hair gleamed under the lights of the gym, her flowery dress danced with the slightest wind, she gave off a very mature aura though she is very young as in, in her early 20s. Valerie "You must be the challenger, sorry for the wait" She said with an innocent smile, Julian nodded and took his ce on the battlefield, Valerie is surprised by how calm her opponent is, she just smiled and walked towards her end of the battlefield. The beautifuldy with brown hair took the referee''s position and took a look at both of them. Referee "This will be a two on two pokemon battle, the rules are simr to every other gym challenge, the challenger is allowed to switch pokemon during or in the middle of the battle while the gym leader cannot. The winner with a pokemon remaining at the end of the battle wins" The referee called out the rules and looked at both trainers to confirm if they understood her or not, seeing both of them nod their heads she moved on to the next step. Referee "Both of you may choose your pokemon" With her call both Julian and Valerie sent out their pokemon, Julian sent out Floette and Valerie sent out her Spritzee. With both pokemon floating over the battlefield, they stared at each other, both are pure fairy types, both are lightweights and the same size, at the end of the day it will depend on who is the better pokemon. With both pokemon on the battlefield, the referee didn''t make them wait and gave them the go for the start of the battle. Julian "Use Magical Leaf" Julian started off strong with Magical Leaf, he wanted to see how much he can push his opponent''s pokemon and what is its limit, by using Magical Leaf, Julian made sure that the opponent''s pokemon cannot escape and cross moves with his Floette. Magical Leaf cannot to dodged as it will home in and won''t let go of the target until contact. Multiple glowing leaves shot towards Spritzee at full speed, seeing the iing attack Valerie quickly made a call. Valerie "Use Fairy Wind" As the leaves got close to Spritzee, it sted a powerful gust of Fairy Wind stopping the leaves in their tracks, the leaves lost their glow after traveling a little further and turned into energy and disintegrated into light particles fusing into the atmosphere. Valerie then continued with the offense by calling out for a Moon st, after seeing thest offensive move from her opponent''s pokemon, Valerie knew that her opponent is a lot stronger than anyone that has challenged her before. Her Spritzee charged up a powerful Moonst and shot it towards Floette, Julian was surprised by how Valerie was not holding back but he could understand, it''s better to take out a stronger opponent before they can deal any damage to your own pokemon. Julian "Dazzling Gleam" Julian decided to counter with his own powerful Fairy-type move, Floette aimed the face of her flower at the iing attack and st a dazzling beam of light towards the glowing ball heading towards her. The two attacks collided causing a powerful shockwave followed by a massive explosion, once the explosion faded away the air swirled back into the impact zone refilling the area. Julian "Energy Ball" As soon as the explosion died Floette sted an Energy Ball at Spritzee, Spritzee saw the iing Energy Ball and it knows that it cannot dodge this, it is too slow to dodge it, Valerie also knows this and quickly made a decision. Valerie "Protect" She called out for a Protect, Spritzee put up a forcefield in front of it and stopped the Energy Ball in its tracks, the Energy Ball shed onto the forcefield and exploded, Spritzee was pushed back but it didn''t suffer any setback. Julian "Use Multiple Energy Balls" Floette didn''t stop and sent out multiple Energy Balls at Spritzee, these Energy Balls were not as big as the one before but they have the numbers, multiple Energy Balls shot towards Spritzee like bullets from a minigun, Spritzee continued to hold onto its forcefield but the barrage of Energy Balls started to show its effect. Floette didn''t stop and continued with them, cracks started to appear on the forcefield and then it shattered into pieces, the remaining Energy Balls made their way through and bombarded Spritzee. Spritzee got hit by the first Energy Ball and got sted away, it crashed into the ground but it didn''t stop, the other Energy Ball followed right behind and continued hitting Spritzee sending it rolling on the ground till it was thrown out of the battlefield. Floette finally stopped as she knew it was over, the referee checked on Spritzee and called out the result. Chapter 1075 - Julian Vs Valerie (2) Valerie was surprised by the onught that her Spritzee received, there was no way she could have ever countered that, the attacks were too continuous for Spritzee to recover and counter, as soon as the first Energy Ball made contact, the battle was already over. She was also surprised by how the Energy Ball was implemented, Energy Ball is already a very powerful move and it takes a lot of energy, to see Floette use multiple of them and shoot it like a minigun. Valerie "You are quite impressive, I might not win this one" She said with a smile on her face, Julian couldn''t see her smile because she covered it with her hand covered by her oversized sleeve but he could tell that she is smiling from her facial feature. Julian "You can do better" Julian didn''tfort deny her at all, he added more to it indicating that he was not impressed, but to his surprise, Valerie didn''t get offended at all, she just chuckled and sent out her next pokemon into the battlefield. Julian also recalled Floette and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield as well. Valerie sent out her Sylveon and waited for looked at Julian''s choice, his witzer. Looking at the massive witzer was very intimidating but Sylveon didn''t worry, she has battled more intimidating pokemons like Aggron before. Valerie "I will do better Mr. Julian" She said and chuckled again, Julian didn''t answer back, he didn''t expect she would guess his identity so fast but if he was in her ce, thest battle they had would give his identity away, he was the only trainer who could modify a move like Energy Ball in such method. He guessed that Valerie might have guessed that it was him after seeing the use of Energy Ball in such a way and after looking at his outfit, ck hair, red eyes, face mask, long coat, it perfectly matched Julian''s description. Julian "I hope so" Julian said and let Valerie start the battle. Valerie "Use Bite" Valeriemanded, Sylveon started to move and it was swift, its slender but powerful legs helped it to run very fast, it rushed towards witzer in a zig-zag pattern and moved to witzer''s left side where this massive w isn''t present. Since this is his blind spot for witzer, Sylveon targeted it on purpose, it opened its mouth wide and created a jaw made of dark energy, and tried to chomp down on witzer but to its surprise, it suddenly moved at a very astonishing speed and turned its massive w towards the dark jaw and stopped its descent. The dark jaw mmed right on top of his massive w but it didn''t have any effect on him, the massive w was part of his body but it also acted as his shield, any damage he took on the w didn''t affect him one bit, the only thing he will feel his pain and soreness if he takes things too far, to take him out Sylveon will have to damage his body. Sylveon quickly backed up as soon as it noticed witzer turn around and protected himself, it didn''t want to get caught by a Crab Hammer or some other big moves, it might not be able to take hits from that big hammer. Julian "Use Scald" witzer aimed his massive w at Sylveon and sted a jet of scalding hot water at it, Sylveon used its incredible agility to dodge it by a hair inch saving itself from a one-hit knockout. Julian "Crab Hammer" As soon as Julian let out thismand, witzer''s massive w started to get covered in glowing water and he then suddenly shot towards Sylveon, even though he doesn''t use his legs anymore that doesn''t mean he cannot move fast. Though he is not the fastest he can still move, seeing the pulsing w of destructioning towards it, Sylveon used its agility once again and dodged it. Valerie "Now Magical Leaf" As Sylveon dodged to the side, it exposed the weak side of witzer, and taking advantage of this Valerie called for an attack. Sylveon used Magical Leaf and sent multiple glowing leaves at witzer. Julian "Use Protect and then Water Pulse" witzer quickly put up a forcefield and blocked the iing Magical Leaf and then turned around very quickly locking onto his target. Seeing that it''s under the radar Sylveon started to move in a zig-zag pattern to confuse witzer but witzer''s gaze is locked onto it and when he felt that he predicted its movement, it sted the Water Pulse at it. Sylveon who was trying to catch witzer off guard was caught off guard as it saw a massive Water Pulse heading straight towards it. Valerie "Quick use Protect" She shouted as she knew that there is no dodging it, Sylveon was fast and it did manage to put up a forcefield but as soon as the Water Pulse made contact, the forcefield shattered and the Water Pulse went past through it and hit Sylveon. Chapter 1076 - Julian Vs Valerie (3) Valerie is once again surprised by seeing the Water Pulse getting past through the forcefield, the reason behind this is because the Water Pulse was powered up by witzer''s ability Mega Launcher. This ability allows witzer to power up moves that are aura or pulse, so Water Pulse was twice as strong as a normal one and with witzer''s power it was even more devastating, the forcefield didn''t stand a chance. Sylveon got hit and was sent rolling through the ground but it quickly stabilized itself by using its legs and getting back to its feet, its body is covered with scratches and dust after all the rolling on the ground, it gritted its teeth and red at witzer. It didn''t expect to lose a confrontation so early in the battle, it realized that it has to be more careful from now on, thest Water Pulse might have made it past through the Protect but it did lose its power after tearing through it. Valerie "Use Psyshock" Valerie also realized keeping a little further distance from witzer and attack with special attacks and also be on the move. Sylveon sted a bolt of pinkish-purple lightning towards witzer and moved from its spot, it didn''t want to stay in one ce and be open to an attack from witzer. Julian "Use Protect and then Water Pulse again" witzer quickly put up a forcefield in front of him and turned locked onto Sylveon, the Psyshock hit the Protect and disappeared while witzer continued to maintain his forcefield, he didn''t attack yet as Sylveon is moving faster and faster and making it very hard for witzer to find its movement pattern. Valerie felt that she has the upper hand now and she wants to keep it that way. Valerie "Use m Mind and then Psyshock" Valerie called for another Psyshock, she wanted to break that forcefield before she cane up with another way to counter witzer and the m Mind would help a lot, m Mind would rise its special attack or special defense. Sylveon while running used m Mind and powered up before shooting another bolt of Psyshock, the Psyshock is much more powerful than before, the Psyshocknded on the forcefield and shattered it, and disappeared exposing witzer. Valerie "Use Psyshock again" Seeing the forcefield go down, she knew it was her chance and she took it, Sylveon sted another Psyshock right at witzer. Julian "Counter it" Julianmanded, witzer stopped focusing on Sylveon and aimed at the iing Psyshock and shot the Water Pulse at it, the two moves collided creating a powerful shockwave. They continued to exchange attacks after attacks, Valerie continued with the use of Calm Mind and Psyshock, every passing second Sylveon was getting stronger and it soon reached its limit. Sylveon now could go toe to toe with witzer when it came to exchanging special attacks, Julian never tried to stop Valerie from powering up as he has something else in his mind. Seeing that her Sylveon has be stronger, Valerie became a littlefortable, the battle has already been dragged on for quite a long time and her mental state is being affected and she doesn''t realize it, a long battle can be very tiring and this worked in Julian''s favor. With her guard a little down, she started to get aggressive with her attacks, her Sylveon started to take risks but Julian didn''t exploit them at all, he battled defensive, he wanted to bring in his opponent''s pokemon a little closer to his witzer. Even her Sylveon started to get very confident as anyone could tell that Sylveon was clearly the dominant pokemon on the battlefield while witzer just stood on its spot not moving and only blocking and countering. Valerie "Let''s get this over with, use Magical Leaf" Valerie called for another move, she wanted to end this as she felt that witzer has nowhere to run, what she didn''t notice is that her Sylveon has gotten toofortable on the battlefield, it got very close to witzer and used Magical Leaf to deal damage faster and with more impact. This was what Julian was waiting for, as soon as he felt that Sylveon was in witzer''s range, he made his move. Julian "Crab Hammer" As soon as Julian gave tomand, witzer bolted towards Sylveon, he tore through the Magical Leaf as if it was nothing, the glowing leaves were shredded into pieces, Sylveon was caught off guard by this and it tried to escape but it was toote, the massive glowing w of witzer smashed into Sylveon''s body and sent it rolling on the ground. All that m Mind was useless as it never improved its physical defense, Julian never nned to end this battle with a Special Attack, he forced Valerie and Sylveon into false security, making them think that rising their special defense and attack will benefit them, but it was all for nothing. Sylveon continued to roll on the ground and was having a hard time stopping itself. Julian "Vice Grip" witzer once again bolted after the rolling Sylveon, Sylveon came to a stop and tried to get back to its feet, it struggled to do so as that blow was too much for its slender and light body, but it found some strength and was able to stand on all fours but before it could even collect its thoughts. It saw a massive blue w snapping down on it. Valerie "Quick, dodge" Valeriemanded but it was useless, witzer was already in front of Sylveon, he got it trapped right between his massive w and he started to squeeze. Sylveon tried to get free but it was useless, it was as if it was stuck under a heavy boulder, soon thest bit of its energy was drained as the Vice Grip tightened, once Sylveon fainted witzer released it and put it back on the ground. Referee "Sylveon is unable to battle, witzer wins. Hence the winner of this battle is the challenger" The referee called out the result and dered Julian as the victor. Chapter 1077 - Fashion Show? Julian won, witzer crushed thest bit of energy out of his opponent using Vice Grip, though not one of the strongest attacks, because of the size of his w he was able to crush Sylveon with it easily. Valerie didn''t seem to be bothered about her loss at all, she seems to be a little disappointed that the battle ended a little too early than she expected, she thought that she could drag this battle a little longer, maybe even deal some more damages but today was not her day. She sent her Sylveon back to its Pokeball and walked towards Julian and handed him the Fairy Badge. Valerie "Since you won the Fairy Badge on your first try, you can get a special discount from me" She said with a smile. Julian "Discount? Discount on what?" Valerie "Clothes that I design personally, I heard that you have quite beautiful girlfriends, they will definitely love you more if you gift them one of my designed dresses" She said and giggled. Julian "I would be an idiot not to take this offer, when can I get them?" He asked. He didn''t expect that Valerie would offer him to make him some dresses for his fianc¨¦es, he thought he would have to beg her as she is one of the most renowned designers in the industry. Valerie "How many do you need?" Julian "Three, one for each, you should know them right?" Valerie "Hehe, of course I know, the whole world knows that Mr. Julian is a yer, don''t worry, I will hand them over to you in a week, you can wait until then right?" She asked. Julian "Sure I can wait for a week" Julian said. He decided to stay in this city for a little longer and n out what he wants to do next. Valerie "I also need their sizes, I hope Mr. Julian knows their sizes" She stated and looked at Julian with a teasing gaze, Julian didn''t hide away from her gaze and just smiled while nodding, he was not a person who would shy away if someone tried to tease him, in fact, he would join them and make them feel very ufortable if they tried to push him. He gave a very urate size for all three of his fianc¨¦es as he has seen and felt them multiple times, Valerie just smiled and took all the measurements, and escorted Julian out of the gym. Julian left her gym and headed towards a pokemon spa so that he can treat their sore muscles, he also got himself a massage as well, once the massage was done, he walked out of the spa with a smile on his face as he felt very relieved. He looked at the sky and noticed that night is on its way, he also noticed that the city is busting with people, some of them were decorating the streets with beautiful designs and colorful lights, he got curious as to what is going on. He walked towards one of the workers to inquire. Julian "Hello, what''s going on here?" He asked. The worker turned around and looked at Julian in surprise, he didn''t expect someone to not know about the uing event in the city. "You don''t know about the uing event in the city, were you living under a rock?" The worker asked while looking at Julian. Julian "I just got here, I don''t know" Julian lied but this is the best answer he can give to get an answer from the worker. "I see, the Laverre city''s fashion show is being held next week, its a very big event and many people from all over the worlde here for the show, I can''t believe there are still people out there who don''t know about this event" He said. Julian "Well, I am not too much into fashion" Julian said and decided to leave, he decided to find out more about this fashion show on the inte. Once he returned back to his hotel room, he looked into the fashion show and learned a lot, he realized that this event is one of the biggest fashion shows of the year, many supermodels from all over the worlde here and take a walk on stage. Famous designers show their designs and auction them here. Julian ''Chloe should know about this, I should ask her'' Julian thought and called her. Chloe "Hello honey, did you miss me?" She asked and giggled. Julian "I did and I wanted to ask you about this fashion show that is being held in Valerie city, do you know anything about it?" He asked. Chloe "You are still in Valerie city?" She asked surprised, she thought he would have already left the city. Julian "Ya, I decided to stay here for another week and look into this fashion show, so do you know anything about it?" He asked again. Chloe "Yes, I do, in fact, I am invited to be one of the models, even Daisy ising as she will be in charge of grooming all the pokemons belonging to the models and celebrities who will be participating" Chloe answered. Julian "That''s great, so when will you be arriving here?" Chloe "In three days, I can''t wait to see you" She said happily. Julian "I will be waiting" Julian said and ended the call, he was happy that Chloe and Daisy will be joining him, he will also gift them the dresses that Valerie will make for them. Chapter 1078 - Charmander/Charmeleon As Julian had nothing else to do other than look around the city and wait for his fianc¨¦es to get here, he decided to continue training his pokemon, his Charmander is very about to evolve and Julian wants to push him a little further. His other pokemons are already way more powerful than Charmander so he has a lot to do to catch up with others, he went back to the same spot he trainer before and released all his pokemon. With his main focus on Charmander, he let the others train on their own while Charmander trained under his watchful eyes, Charmander''s physic is already in its best condition and Julian made sure to keep it that way. Now he is making sure that Charmander only focuses on his fire control and nothing else, he has been holding back on his evolution just like Julian has told him to do. Evolution is aitch and it takes a very tough metal process for a pokemon to force itself for not evolving, luckily for Julian''s pokemon, they go through lot tougher challenges which makes them pretty strong, both physically and mentallypared to pokemons belonging to other trainers. Julian watched as the fire around Charmander''s tail got brighter and brighter, his surrounding started to rise in temperature and the color of the me slowly started to change, the orange color me started to be yellow. Julian was happy to see the change but he knows Charmander could do better, he continued to watch as Charmander progressed, soon the me on his tail started to change again and get a greenish glow around it. Julian knew that it was time for Charmander to evolve, any further and he might damage himself with the temperature inside his own body. Julian "Try triggering your evolution, if you can''t I will put you through some pressure to trigger it" Julian said. Charmander nodded and tried to trigger his evolution, the itch he was feeling could now finally be gotten rid of, he tried to find the itch inside his body and get rid of it, luckily for Charmander he had no trouble finding it, being a species of pokemon that can trigger their evolution very easily, he didn''t need to be put through some kind of pressure to trigger it. As soon as he found that itch and got rid of it, the fire inside his bodybust creating a powerful force, the force turned into light and surrounded Charmander''s body and triggered his evolution, Julian sighed seeing this and waited for the light to fade away. He noticed the changes taking ce in Charmander''s body, his body started to grow, his round snout became a little sharper, he grew a single horn on top of his head, his arms and legs became bigger, and his tail grew longer. Julian''s other pokemon also noticed that Charmander is evolving so they gathered around him to see the changes, once the light faded away Charmeleon was in front of everyone. He stood around 1.5 meters tall, his yellowish-orange skin glow under the bright sunlight, the me at the end of his tail looked very bright and had a bright yellow color with a light greenish core to it, it was very clear to Julian that the temperature of Charmeleon''s fire has increased permanently. He no longer has to purposefully increase its temperature through fire control. Julian is happy with the oue and got back to training, since he evolved Julian called out some moves to see the difference between now and the past and the changes seem to be exceptional, Charmeleon''s power level has increased by leap and bounds. He will now just have to catch up to Julian''s other pokemons, Julian believes that he will be able to battle in his next gym battle against the gym leader of Anistar city. Julian is looking forward to this battle, the training continues and Julian keeps it light for now, he doesn''t want to put too much stress on Charmeleon as he just evolved. Once the training was done, Julian sent all his pokemon back to his Pokeball, Julian then looked around to find Crystal and saw it sitting next to the Zygarde core who seems to be absorbing the sunlight, Crystal is looking at it and tilting its head in confusion. Julian has no idea what these two are up to, he quickly calls for both of them and returns back to his hotel room. ______________________ Somewhere else in the Kalos region, inside the Team re headquarters, Lysander is sitting on his throne looking at the massive screen in front of him, on the screen are several pictures and videos of Zygarde in its 10% and 50% form. As Lysander smiled with satisfaction while looking at the data presented on the screen, a tall fat man walked towards him and stood right behind him. "Boss, another Zygarde Core''s reading has been located, it''s apletely new one, we code-named it Z3" The fat man wearing the white suit and orange goggles said. Lysander "Where is it?" He asked. Lysander already has one core with him and he wishes to capture another one, by now he has discovered two of them, and now that the third one has appeared, this made Lysander more excited. "Its coordinates were located in Laverre City" Lysander "I want it captured" Lysander said and smirked. Chapter 1079 - Plan For Z3 Lysander seems to be very hell-bent on getting his hands on the Zygarde core, he still didn''t understand the limits of Zygarde''s power, he and his goons have been hunting Zygarde for ages, and for now, he thinks that Zygarde is the solution to his dream. He believes that once he is able to capture the Zygarde cores he will be able to achieve his dream of creating a beautiful world, right now he only has possession of one Zygarde core, he used to have two but one of them escaped because of an annoying Chespin. Lysander "Send two admins, I want it captured as soon as possible" Lysander ordered. "But boss, there seems to be a fashion even going on in Laverre city, our movement might catch the attention of the league" The fat man said. Lysander "Hmm, the league can indeed be very troublesome, I don''t want anyone to find out about our ns until the day of the execution, just send a small team and scout the city, see where the core is hiding and if possible capture it, if it is not possible, let the show die down and then we can make a move" Lysander ordered. "Yes boss" The fat man said and walked away leaving Lysander all alone in front of the massive screen. Lysander ''I believed that only two cores existed but now there is a third, a single core can already release so much power, I wonder how powerful the three of thembined can be. I wonder if there is a fourth or fifth, all these possibilities just makes me more excited about it'' Lysander thought and started tough out loud like a mad man. The fat man who walked out of Lysander''s room looked back as he heard Lysander''sugh and smiled as well, he was d that the boss was happy, he soon walked towards the control room. As he entered he saw many Team re members running around doing their work, most of them sat in front of aputer monitoring all the data being disyed on the screen, he looked around and his eyes soon fell on top of a very beautiful blond woman. This woman is wearing a white shirt which is tightly buttoned to her body, her big boobs arepletely stretching out her shirt, and the button that is holding the shirt together is putting all its effort into this one job (what a hero), she is also wearing a grey pencil skirt, round sses on her face, red lip-gloss and has her blond hair tied up into a bun. She looks like a very mature officedy who can handle all kinds of jobs, just looking at this elegant but sexy woman caused the fat man''s heart to beat faster, he approached her with a big smile on his face. "Caroline, how are you doing?" He asked with the biggest and brightest smile he could muster up, the blond woman looked at him coldly and just nodded and hummed, just getting this small response from her made him feel that he was entrapped in hell and being seduced by this sexy subus in front of him. "I see, good, good, if you have any problem just tell me and I will take care of it" The fat man said with confidence in his voice. Caroline "I don''t need your help, tell me why are you here, Xerosic?" She asked. Xerosic "Ah, it''s about thetest Zygarde core siting, the boss wants to send a small team to scout Laverre city and find its location and if possible capture it" Xerosic said. Caroline "I will select two admins and send them over, you can leave" She said and turned around while looking at the digital pad in her hand. Xerosic "Wait, Caroline" Xerosic stopped her. Caroline "What is it, I don''t have much time" She stated coldly. Xerosic "Are you free tonight, you cane to my quarters, I have some expensive wine, we can hang out and chill, you know" Xerosic said with a cheeky smile on his face, Caroline just stared coldly at Xerosic before answering. Caroline "No, I don''t know and I don''t want to you, I will not be joining you, you can go now" She replied and walked away leaving Xerosic a little embarrassed, the grunts who were around him giggled seeing him get embarrassed like that, Xerosic is not the only one who got coldly rejected by Caroline, even though she is new here she already has a very powerful status. Many tried to court her but everyone got rejected, Xerosic could only watch with his lustful gaze as Caroline walked away swaying her hips attracting every male grunts attention. Xerosic ''Fuck, where did boss get her from, I sooo want to fuck her, too bad the boss has his eyes on her so I can''t do anything to her'' Xerosic thought and walked away. Caroline walked to the other end of the control room and entered the admin area, as she walked in she looked at three women sitting around the table, one had their leg up on the table, one sat elegantly looking through her phone, while one was working on herputer. Noticing Caroline walk in, two out of three of them clicked their tongue in annoyance while one of them just stared at her. Caroline didn''t give them any chance to speak and started to talk. Caroline "You must have heard about Z3 by now, the boss wants two of you to go to Laverre city and locate it. If possible capture it without being noticed by the league. If you think it is not possible, wait till the fashion festival has died down and work silently" She ordered. Hearing the tone of her speech irritated the two admins but they didn''t voice out their opinion, they headed this cold bitch, she just showed out of nowhere and became their manager, most of Team re''s activities are being managed by her now, they don''t know how this bitch was able to earn their boss''s favor but they are jealous. Chapter 1080 - Angela/Caroline The two admins calmed their thoughts and looked into the details of this mission and then looked at each other, both of them wanted to go to this mission, they also looked at the third person and knew one of them will have to stay back and none of them wanted to. They wanted to prove their superiority to the other, a fierce re was exchanged between the three before all of them looked at Caroline for answers. Caroline of course understood these women in front of her, she pushed her sses with her finger and smiled. Caroline "Ladies, no need to getpetitive, I will be selecting two of you" She said. The admins looked at her expecting her to call for their name, Caroline waited for a few seconds before opening her mouth again. Caroline "Aliana and Mable, you two will be going to Laverre city to check on the situation and capture Z3" Caroline said. Hearing this, the blue-haired admin was happy while the purple-haired admin named Celosia seems to be really pissed, she stared at Mable and then at Aliana. Celosia "Why Aliana, she was captured by the policest time, you should send me since I am clearly way better than her" Celosia retorted back, Aliana seems to be pissed but she didn''t speak. Caroline "I have made my decision. If you have anyints, take them to the boss" Caroline said and shut her up, Celosia could only grit her teeth and shut her mouth, talking would just embarrass her even more, Mable smirked seeing Celosia''s face, and felt relief, she looked at Aliana who also had a smile on her face. She didn''t think much about it but she has no idea what Aliana is actually thinking about. Caroline "You may leave now, don''t dy the mission. Aliana stay behind" Caroline said and sent away the two admins leaving Aliana all alone, Aliana stood in front of Caroline obediently without speaking a word. Caroline "Don''t mess this up, I will inform master, do as he ordered you to, do you understand?" Caroline asked with authority. Aliana "Don''t worry Miss Caroline, I will do everything as ordered" Caroline "You can leave" Caroline said and watched Aliana leave as well. Caroline or also known as Beta and Ang joined Team re as Giovanni ordered her to do so and she also works for Julian as his spy. Julian informed her about Aliana and his n to slowly take over Team re. When she learned about his n, she was fully behind it and decided to do everything possible to make it happen. Caroline didn''t find it too hard to get into Team re, it was actually quite easy, when she found out who Lysander was she got close to him in a bar at Lumiose city, a middle-aged man who hasn''t gotten any genuine attention from a beautiful woman for years, it was very easy to captivate Lysander with her beauty. She spent some time with him, pretended that she didn''t know who he really was, made sure that the story she tells him about her life matches the documents present in the records which she had clearly manipted with the help of Julian''s team. Lysander, of course, did some digging into her background and when he found nothing suspicious about her and seeing every piece fit into ce, he started to fall for her, she clearly has something that could charm any man in this world and she put it to good use. Lysander brought her to Team re and made her a part of it because in his eyes Caroline is the most beautiful thing that belongs in his new beautiful world. Once she got in, she found out about Aliana and quickly put Aliana under her control, being one in power in Julian''s harem due to her seniority she had no trouble taking Alianapletely under her control. With everything set in motion, Ang informed Julian about Aliana and Team re admin Mableing to Laverre city. She also informed him about their mission and that they are after a Zygarde core called Z3, Ang, of course, doesn''t know about Julian being the one who has Z3 exined to him everything she learned during her time here. She sent all this information through a burner text and got rid of the phone so that no one can find it and trace it back to her. ______________________ Julian who was resting next to ake while his pokemons yed around suddenly received a text from an unknown number, he looked at the message and realized that it is from Ang because of the special code that was written before the text message. He learned about Aliana bringing another Admin alone with her and smiled with satisfaction, he will first get control of Mable and soon take over most of Team re. He was also surprised to learn about how Team re found out about his Zygarde core, the Zygarde core that belonged to him had not been discovered yet, it knew about Team re because it is connected with the other Zygarde core, now that they have suddenly caught onto its reading, Julian realized that they had a way to trace the energy being emitted by the Zygarde core. But he doesn''t know how and when and why now, he has been with the Zygarde core for quite a while now but Team re didn''t make a move till now, he wondered what gave of this signal. Julian "Since they areing to me, I will find out soon". He thought and put his phone away. Chapter 1081 - More Pokemons To Catch Julian''s day in Laverre City was not boring as many things could distract him from having a boring day and he also continued training his pokemon, with two days left to the grand fashion festival that will be held in the city Julian headed to the airport to pick up his fianc¨¦es. Since they came here for work they won''t be with him all the time, Julian also had other things up his sleeve, Ang told him about Aliana bringing another admin here just like he nned, he didn''t expect one of the admins to fall in his hand so early. From what he has learned from Ang, Team re is still not ready to execute their n and Julian has a lot of time for him to slowly take over. He stood in front of the airport in his disguise waiting for their arrival, they didn''t make him wait for long though as he saw both Daisy and Chloe walk out of the airport in their own unique disguise, they were covered from head to tow as their poprity is off the roof these days. Daisy has be a very well-known name in the groomingmunity, many uing groomers want to be her apprentice, the pokemons groomed by her are always in massive blockbuster movies and they easily be the center of attention on the big screen. As for Chloe, she is a megastar right now, she has starred in multiple movies, is endorsed by the biggest brands, she is also ying the role of a major antagonist in a very famous TV series, her poprity is at an all-time high. So they hid their faces in public ces, they both noticed Julian and rushed towards him and hugged him, Julian brought them towards a rented car and drove them to the hotel he is staying at. Chloe and Daisy have both been in Laverre city so they were very familiar with the city, they didn''t seem to be lost, they even pointed out some stores that are not very popr but had some great stuff being sold, Julian made a mental note of all those stores so he can visitter. Once they got inside the hotel room, the three couldn''t be separate from each other, they clung to each other and spent the rest of the day being all lovey-dovey. Another day passed and Julian received no news from Aliana who should be here by now with her partner in crime, the big day is tomorrow and from seeing the preparations all over the city he could tell that this is a big event. If he was a member of Team re, he would bring a small team and try to blend in with the massive crowd and search for Z3 and he believes that is what Aliana and the other admin are nning to do. Chloe and Daisy went to work as they need to prepare for the big day tomorrow, while Chloe is one of the models, Daisy has a lot of grooming appointments for pokemons that will take the stage alongside the models. Julian spent the day training his pokemon, his Charmeleon is showing great improvements and he is very happy about it, his Doude has almost reached his limit in mastering both his steel and ghost energy and Julian ns to evolve him soon. Unlike other pokemons, Doude needs a foreign stimnt called the Dusk Stone for him to evolve and Julian has a few with him, he is just waiting for Doude to achieveplete mastery. The same goes for Floette as well, she is very close to mastering her fairy energy and when she is done, Julian will provide her with the Shiny Stone so she can also evolve. Skrelp still has a little more grinding to do so he can reach the level where his body will naturally trigger his evolution. His witzer is already in his final form and now he only needs to focus on training and improving his control over his element. As for his Porygon, it is already very strong, just a few points changes and it could probably take on any pokemon it wants to but Julian wondered if there is still another evolution waiting for Porygon, he decided to check with Professor Sycamore about it. As Julian wondered about his current team, he realized that it is a few pokemon short, right now he only has six pokemon in his team and he ns to catch two more, he wondered about the pokemons that could be found further down the route and felt a little disappointed. Even though Kalos is big and it is filled with pokemons, it doesn''t have pokemons that he desired to catch and the strong ones that already exist in this regions are the one he has caught before, as for the Pseudo legendary of this region, Goodra, he decided to give up on it. Goodra is a very strong pokemon as it is a Pseudo Legendary but it is also a Dragon with no other secondary typing, Julian already has a dragon in his team and if he mega evolves his Charizard into Mega Charizard X he will have another dragon. Julian didn''t want to add another dragon to his team, he wanted a psychic type pokemon and he has one in mind for now, and for thest pokemon topletely his Kalos team, he has no idea. Putting this thought to the side, Julian patiently waited for tomorrow. Chapter 1082 - Team Flare Are Here The day of the fashion festival is here and Julian was woken up by a loud sound, he opened his eyes and looked to his sides to see both of his beautiful fianc¨¦es sleeping, they seem to be a little disturbed by the loud sound but they continued to sleep. They were really tired after all the work they did yesterday, they wanted to sleep a little longer to get reenergized before the big event, Julian didn''t disturb them and walked towards the window and noticed colorful smoke up in the sky. These were special firecrackers built for daytime, they didn''t sparkle, they released colorful clouds of smoke, Julian watched the firecrackers for a few seconds before heading to the bathroom and cleaning himself up. He then prepared breakfast for the three of them and waited for Chloe and Daisy to wake up, he then went through today''s news on his phone when he suddenly received a message from an unknown number. He opened the message and realized that it is from Aliana and she is in Laverre city with the Team re admin Mable and along with them were six elite members of Team re. Even though the team they brought with them was small, the members who they brought along seem to be very powerful, but it didn''t matter to Julian, he could easily take them all out. He was d that they arrived right on time, now he needed a way to lure them in without Mable getting suspicious, he thought of something and sent a message asking how they tracked down Z3. He didn''t even have to wait before a reply appeared. As he read through the answer, he was surprised, it looks like whenever any Zygarde core feed on the sun rays they release a very unique signal which isn''t visible to any pokemon, human, this signal seems to be their way ofmunicating with other Zygarde core and cells. Since Team re has one core with them, they were able to study this signal and were able to track it down whenever a Zygarde core restores its energy or tries tomunicate with other Zygarde core. After reading through the reply, a smile formed on Julian''s face, he realized that it would be a lot easier for him to lure those idiots than he thought, as he was smiling from ear to ear he heard a voice. Chloe "Why are you sliming like that, it is giving me the creeps" She said and chuckled, Julian looked at her and smiled, Chloe seems to have woken up while Daisy is still peacefully sleeping. Julian "Nothing, I just have the perfect bait to catch a very big fish" He said and looked at his phone. Chloe "Whoever this fish is, I feel bad for it" She said and chuckled again. Julian "You know me very well" Chloe "I have to or I could lose you" She said. Julian "You don''t ever have to worry about that. Now get up and clean up, we can have breakfast together once Daisy also wakes up" He said and went back to looking through his phone, Chloe joined him and soon Daisy also woke up from her sleep and cleaned up, after having their breakfast Daisy and Chloe left leaving Julian alone. Once they were gone, Julian also got up and patted his pants, and smiled. Julian "It''s time to set the bait" He said and walked out of the hotel room and headed to the nearest forest area. _____________________ At the border of Laverre city, inside a densely covered forest, eight people had set up a camp, the camp seems to be filled with monitoring equipment. These people are none other than Team re, while the six elite members are monitoring and trying to locate Z3''s location. Aliana and Mable are looking at their own monitor with a frown on their face. Mable "Are you sure Z3 was spotted here, there is no sign of Z3 anywhere" She said. Aliana "Even if there isn''t, we have to continue observing for a few days, even if it moved away it won''t have moved that far away from its previous location" She said and continued monitoring. After an hour of monitoring, Mable was a little exhausted but her wait was over when one of the members suddenly called for her and Aliana. "Admin Aliana, Mable, we found it, it''s on the north side of the city, it will be very hard to corner it as the forest is very dense up there" The elite member said. Aliana "It doesn''t matter, we have its location, lets go there and check it out, put on your disguises" She ordered. The Elite members saluted and went into their tents to put on some casual clothes, Aliana and Mable also looked at each other and went into the main tent to change as well. As both of them put on their casual clothes, Mable noticed that Aliana''s dress is a little too revealing. Mable ''What a slut'' She thought and put on the best dress she could find as well, even though she didn''t want to look as sluty as Aliana, she would still like to present herself as a stunningdy, she put on a sparkling purple dress. This dress matched with her hair color perfectly and she really stood out, even though their job was not to stand out in the crowd dressing fashionably was the best way to blend in right now. It''s the fashion weekend and people wearing expensive dresses will be everywhere, this is the best thing they can do right now. Chapter 1083 - Waiting For The Bait Team re put on their most fashionable outfit and entered Laverre city, they didn''t stick together as they entered, the six elite members made a team of two and separated into three groups. Aliana and Mable decided to still be together, well Mable didn''t want to go with Aliana but she convinced her to stick together. As they entered the city, the two were able to easily blend in but they were still the center of attention in the eyes of men, Aliana stood out in her very short ck dress which is very short, all of her legs are exposed, just a little shorter and they could see her butt, her breasts are almost out as the dress she is wearing is a one-piece with lots of cuts in them. Her hips, her waist, her belly button, everything is exposed except the main parts, every man that saw her were stunned by how bold she is to wear such a dress but she is not the only woman here wearing a dress like this, other women are also wearing such exposed dress but very few canpare themselves to Aliana, her curvy body, short orange hair, and her shiny short ck dress full of cuts, all these added together has elevated her beauty. As for Mable, she looks stunning in her purple sparkling dress, even though her dress is not as short as Aliana, it is still short and tightly hugging her body, though she doesn''t have big breasts like Aliana they are still average she has a fine th ass and her thighs look juicy, her figure is spectacr and when she walks, her hips sways from left to right giving her ass a little giggle. Every pair of eyes that fell on those ass cheeks couldn''t get them off it, her long blue hair waved in the air adding to her appeal. Mable "Don''t you think we are getting a lot of attention?" Mable whispered in Aliana''s ear, she was not used to people staring at her ass everywhere she goes as she has not worn a dress like this ever before. Aliana "Oh, shut up, I can tell you are enjoying this, you are loving all the attention you are getting" Aliana whispered in her ear and chuckled, Mable didn''t say anything and just red at Aliana because she was right, she was loving the attention she was getting. She never understood before how Aliana and Bryony could wear such revealing and slutty dresses but now she understood, the admirable gazes that they get every time can be very addicting to some women and it looks like she is one of them as well. Aliana "Enjoy this while you can as we will have to go back to wearing those stupid uniforms" She whispered. Mable "Stupid uniforms?" Mable questioned as this came out of nowhere from Aliana''s mouth, anyone from Team re has never questioned the design of the uniform, they all blindly followed the boss as he designed them. Aliana "I mean, my uniforms have be a little loose so I need to change their sizes" Aliana exined. Mable found this strange but continued heading towards the direction of Z3''s location, she continued to enjoy the gazes of men on her ass, she especially felt proud when women looked at her and get jealous. Mable "So this is how it feels, to have your ass on disy like a slut all the time" Mable mocked her. Aliana "Don''t act like you are not loving the feeling, see how desperate they look as they stare at our body but deep down they know they can never get it, this feeling is the most satisfying" She said and smirked. Mable "Now that you mention it, it does feel good" She said and followed Aliana through the crowd, they were surprised to see how many people actually attend this fashion show, Aliana looked around and saw people smiling and having fun, she realized that how much she missed this kind of life. She couldn''t believe she blindly followed a deranged man andpletely ruined her life, if she had not followed Lysander she could have lived a better life than bing a criminal. As for Mable, she didn''t think of anything, she is too focused onpleting the mission, if she cleared her mind for a second and look around, she would realize that she has been manipted and brainwashed into following a deranged psychopath and his fucked up dreams. Mable "Where are the other members?" She asked. Aliana "An hour from the location, they are all on time" She said. Mable "Then let''s get there, I don''t want to give the boss any excuses if Z3 escapes" She said. She is quite motivated, herst field job was a bust as Z2 escaped from her grasp and she wanted to prove herself to the boss. Aliana "Sure, today is going to be the best day of your life I guess" She said and smirked. Mable "Haha, very funny, maybe it will be the best day of my life" She retorted, Aliana smirked and secretly sent a message through her burner phone without Mable realizing. _____________________ Julian who was waiting for his fish to take the bait finally sent him the signal he was waiting for. [We will be there within an hour] The message read. After reading the message, he put his phone away and looked at his Zygarde core who is slowly observing the sunlight while Crystal is resting on top of its head. Chapter 1084 - Capturing Z3 And The Unknown Pokemon When Julian reached his desired location, he released Zygarde Core from its Pokeball and looked at it, the Zygarde Core is surprised as it is used to seeing Julian''s pokemon all the time but this time it is only itself and no other pokemon. Before it could even figure out what was going on right now, Crystal popped its head out and went and hugged Zygarde Core, its new "best friend" is out so how could Crystal miss out on a chance to hug it. Zygarde couldn''t do anything but ept its fate and looked at Julian wondering why it was called out. Julian "I need a favor" Julian said with a smile, Zygarde Core felt that something is up and it doesn''t want to be a part of it. Julian "Don''t worry you just have to do what you do naturally, absorb the sunlight or send out those unique signals of yours to lure out some people" Julian said. Zygarde Core didn''t seem to understand at first but soon realized that Julian wants to use it as bait, it didn''t freak out and decided to go with Julian''s n, it knows that the pokemons in Julian''s possession are very strong and there is no way anyone will be able to harm it under Julian''s protection. It walked up to a small rock and started to release its unique signal which set of the radars belonging to Team re. Julian watched Zygarde and smiled, now he just has to wait for a while for the fist to take his bait, after a few minutes he received a message from Aliana that they will be here within an hour, with everything set in motion Julian climbed up a tree to hide within its leaves and y the long waiting game. __________________ Mable and Aliana slowly made their way towards the north side of the city and they were very careful to not stand out at all, with them not wearing their usual uniform and gadgets they looked like normal civilians, even though the police have the description of the admins of Team re, there seems to be no resemnce to their current attire. But they still executed caution, they made sure to always travel through very busy streets or paths where there were very few patrolling officers, once they felt that they were far away from the city center they quickened their phase as they didn''t want to lose the Z3. Mable looked at her radar and felt something was off because the Z3 signal looked very stationary, it was not moving at all, she wondered what it was doing, she is worried that this might be ayer habituated by a Zygarde in itsbined form. This was the only reason she coulde up for the signal in the radar not changing position. Mable "I don''t feel good about this, maybe we should inform the headquarters, Z3 has not moved from its position, I can onlye up with one reason for this and that it is in itsbined form, with just eight of us we might not be able to capture it" She warned Aliana. Aliana stayed silent for a few seconds before replying. Aliana "What you are saying has some credit, maybe we should first scout the location carefully then we can call for backup if it really is a Zygarde in itsbined form, but before that, I will like to check it myself, I don''t want to be ridiculed by those bitches back in the headquarters" Aliana said. Mable didn''t say anything and just nodded her head, she understood what Aliana meant, if they called for backup before checking in the location, they both will be ridiculed by the other admins and they can be a bitch about it, they will definitely put them down through their words saying that they couldn''t handle a simple scouting mission. With putting caution behind her back Mable decided to first check out the location beforeing up with a n, after forty-five minutes of carefully making their way through the lefts and rights of the city, they finally arrived at its border, covered by a dense forest. Aliana "Z3 seems to be inside the forest, the elite members are close by as well, lets group up first" Aliana said. Mable nodded and sent a message to all Elite members to group up at their current location, after some time the six elite members regrouped with Aliana and Mable and waited for their order. Aliana "Let''s go" Aliana led the group and headed deep into the forest, the elite members kept their eyes on their radar as they traversed through the forest, after some time Aliana suddenly stopped along with her group as they looked in front of them. They couldn''t believe what they were seeing, they didn''t expect to find another pokemon alongside Z3, all eight of them could see Z3, a green squishy small pokemon with an orange hexagon on its chest but what surprised them, even more, was the tiny white pokemon that was sitting on top of its head sleeping with its eyes closed. Mable "What kind of pokemon is that?" Mable whispered as she filmed the little pokemon on top of Z3. "It looks like a Mew but it has two tails" One of the Elite members whispered as they recognized the silhouette of the pokemon but he was thrown off guard because it has two tails. Mable "Whatever it is, it is a massive discovery, let''s capture it, Z3 has not fused with its cells, this is our best chance" She said and signaled the elite members to take out their gun, it was best to capture both pokemons from behind. The elite members quickly set up their weapon and aimed it at Z3 and the white Mew like pokemon, they were quite excited to havepleted the mission, Mable even a little bit more, with this capture, she will be able to prove to the boss that she is the best amongst the Admins. Chapter 1085 - Capturing Mable One of the Elite members took out auncher and aimed it at the Z3 and the tiny Mew pokemon on top of its head, thisuncher is not just any ordinaryuncher, it''s a newuncher with high voltage electricity running through it. It is used to disable a pokemon as soon as the makes contact with the pokemon, every member of Team re are excited as they can catch not one but two very rare pokemons, the only one who didn''t seem excited is Aliana as she is carefully looking around to find Julian but she doesn''t see him anywhere and she is a little worried that her master might not show up. Mable "Fire" Mable ordered and the Elite member holding theuncher pulled the trigger, the electric shot out of the barrel of theuncher and headed towards the two pokemon, as Team re was expecting the to fall on top of the two pokemons, they were stunned as they saw the electric stop right in the air. They looked at each other in confusion not knowing what is happening right now, they then looked at the two pokemons who they were about to capture, they then noticed the small while Mew-like pokemon was actually looking at them. They felt the tiny little thing looked very cute as they saw its smile and giggle at them, they almost fell in love with the little guy, what they didn''t know was that this little fellow is a monster hidden under that very cute fa?ade. Even though it intends to just have fun, the ones who are at the receiving end of its pranks can suffer if no supervisor is watching its action, like the incident in Sinnoh when Gengar and Crystal went to have some fun and came back destroying the whole Team Gctic camp without Julian''s knowledge just because they wanted to have some fun. _______________________ Team re members stared at them while Mew like pokemon smiling at them, they didn''t feel any threat from it as it was too cute, they didn''t believe such a cute pokemon can cause them any harm but before they could even process what was going on, they saw the electric rush towards them. Aliana was on edge the whole time so she quickly moved out of the way, Mable also quick on her feet moved away as soon as she noticed Aliana move, the went and entrapped all remaining Team re members as they were grouped up. As soon as the six elite members were trapped and the''s six-point touched the ground, it created a link for electricity to flow through causing a massive voltage of electricity to run through the''s wires. The elite members trapped inside were zapped so hard that they screamed out in pain and were knocked out within a second, the voltage was set very high when they targeted Z3 and the Mew-like pokemon as they were pokemons, and them being humans they are a lot weaker and couldn''t handle the impact, they went down as soon as the made contact with the ground, they could let out a cry of pain before fainting. Mable was stunned by this, she looked at the elite members and saw smoke rising from inside the, she didn''t know if they are dead or not, she then looked at Aliana who also seems to be staring at the elite members. Mable "This is a trap, we should get out of here" Mable yelled and was ready to run away but before she could, she got hit on the back of her head and was knocked out cold, Aliana saw this and was surprised, she looked around but couldn''t find anyone. She walked towards Mable to check on her and tie her up before she wakes up, as she was tying up Mable she felt someone standing behind her, she quickly got up and was about to turn around when she felt a strong arm grab her forcing her to stop. Julian "You did well" Julian whispered in her ear, Aliana shivered as she felt Julian''s breath on her ear and around her neck, just a simple touch from him made her excited, she could feel Julian''s dick tightly pressing her ass, even though it was not hard she could feel it through his pants. Aliana "I did just as master ordered me to do" She said. Julian "Good, take her back to the city and put her in this address, make sure that no one sees you, and make sure that she doesn''t escape" Julian said and handed her a key to a warehouse that Julian rented for few days, he couldn''t keep a living person tied up in a hotel room so he had to find an isted warehouse to keep Mable there. Aliana took the key and memorized the address and nodded her head. Julian "Good you can go now and stay in the warehouse keeping an eye on her, I wille by tomorrow, and make sure that other members of Team re don''t get suspicious, keep giving them false update until I deal with her" Julian said. Aliana obediently nodded and looked at Julian waiting for a reward, Julian didn''t do anything and told her to go back, he was not going to reward her right now, he had other ns. Even though Aliana was disappointed, she didn''t dare to oppose Julian''s words and took Mable to the warehouse that Julian had rented, as for the other members of Team re, Julian told Gengar to send them to the shadow dimension and keep them there for a few days. Julian still hasn''t decided what to do with them. After sending Aliana away with the unconscious Mable, he turned his attention to Crystal and Zygarde core, he didn''t expect Crystal to retaliate at all, he thought he would have to take action and take down all the Elite members along with Mable but Crystal just wanted to have some fun and electrocuted the elite members almost to death. Chapter 1086 - The Fashion Show Crystal is still giggling with its tiny hands over its mouth acting all cure while Zygarde core looks very confused, it didn''t know what happened as it was busy enjoying the sun but it suddenly heard people scream, as it turned around to see what happened, it noticed two female humans standing there in shock while looking at the bunch of unconscious humans under some kind of. It then saw one of the female humans be unconscious and the other female human started to tie her up, it then saw Julian jump down from the tree and talk to the female human with orange hair. It had some idea as to what is going on but not the full story, it then watched as the female human with orange hair takes away the unconscious female human with blue hair, as for the rest of the humans under the, they were sent into the shadow dimension which still gives it the creeps. Julian "Thank you for your help" Julian said and sent Zygarde core back to its Pokeball and put Crystal inside his front pocket and left the forest area, the forest became empty again, and soon after the pokemons that had fled the scene returned to their original spot. No one would believe that an ambush took ce here if not carefully observed, if one does pay attention they will notice the burn marks on the grass caused by the electric but it will still be very hard to deduce that an ambush just took ce, people might just treat it as a pokemon burning the grass and nothing else. ______________________ Julian headed back to the city and continued with his day, he walked out of the city and enjoyed all the different attractions being set up around the city, since this fashion festival is treated as a very big event many small stalls have been set up all over the city. These small stalls sold all kinds of things, from jewelry to food, some of them were fake but still pretty enough to catch the attention of some girls, there was also a lot of food that gathered a lot of crowds in front of these stalls. Julian also joined to eat a few of these street foods and enjoyed his time walking around the city, he saw all kinds of people today, from beautiful to weird, everyone seems to wear some kind of dress to stand out in the crowd. Some wore matching dresses with their pokemon while some dressed up just like their pokemons, he had a lot of fun walking around the city but he decided to visit the main event that is tonight, the fashion show itself, he can''t wait to see Chloe in some beautiful dresses which will just elevate her beauty. He also remembered that today is the day Valerie promised him to give those custom-made outfits that are made for his fianc¨¦es. He headed straight towards the center of the city where the fashion show is being held, when he got there he was overwhelmed by the crowd in front of him, there was hardly any ce to walk, people are pushing around each other to get through and this is not even the entrance of the hall where the show is being held, this is just the streets outside the hall. Julian noticed that police are everywhere and they are having a very hard time controlling the crowd, Julian prayed for them and continued to make his way towards the hall through the crowd, he made sure to not push others very hard or he might cause a stampede. After he made his way through the crowd, he entered the hall through the VIP ess because Chloe had given him a VIP pass, with this pass he could check out the inner working of the fashion show and how it works. Julian wanted to see what happens during these fashion shows from behind the scene, but before that, he decided to give Chloe and visit, as he made his way through the corridor, he care across multiple rooms assigned to different models and designers. As he continued to walk down the corridor, he came across a familiar name on one of the doors, it belonged to Valerie, since he is here he decided to get those dresses from her before he visits Chloe. He knocked on the door to see if there is anyone inside, he knocked a few more times but there seem to be no response, he then put his hand on the door''stch and twisted it, to his surprise the door opened, it was not locked at all. He pushed the door opened and looked inside and he was stunned by what he saw, Valerie was there sitting on the couch with earphones in her ear looking at her phone and touching herself, she was masturbating all alone. He didn''t expect this elegant-looking woman to be so straightforward, masturbating with the door not locked from the inside, Valerie also noticed that the door of the room was suddenly opened, she jumped removing her fingers from her vagina and looked at the person who just opened the door. At first, she was extremely scared but then she realized who this person actually is, crimson red eyes, wide shoulders, standing six feet tall, it was none other than Julian, Valerie could never forget his silhouette. Julian "I think I should leave" Julian said and was about to close the door but Valerie suddenly stopped him. Valerie "Wait, Mr. Julian, pleasee in" She said while adjusting her short skirt. Julian "Are you sure?" Valerie "Yes, pleasee in, I have those dresses ready, you should take a look" She said and invited Julian with a smile on her face. Chapter 1087 - A Price Too Big Julian entered her room and looked around the room, he was captivated by all the colorful things present in her room, from beautifully designed dresses, colorful art, and unique-shaped statues. Julian realized that Valerie has a knack for artsy stuff, he was not surprised as he thought that a massive designer like her might be into these kinds of stuff. Valerie "Please wait here for a moment, I will be right back with those dresses you ordered" Valerie said with a smile and walked away, he thought that he will have to wait here for a little while as he didn''t expect her to bring those dresses here, he continued to look around the room and try to figure out why the art around him was so expensive. He was not a very artistic person and he never understood the appeal of art that didn''t look as impressive as the ones he sees on the inte cost millions of dors, either he has no artistic vision, or these super famous artists are just ripping off others by sttering colorful paint on an empty canvas and they are no different from art that can be sold on the street. He didn''t have to wait for long as Valerie entered the room again with three folded dresses in her hand, she then stood in front of Julian and unfolded all three of them, Julian looked at the three dresses and was very impressed. The cloth she used to make these dresses seems very expensive, the colors are vibrant and there also seem to be precious stones embedded in them. Valerie picked up one of the dresses and put it in front of her to give Julian a visual of how it looks. Valerie "What do you think?" She asked with a smile on her face. Julian "Really beautiful" Julian replied. Hearing him Valerie just giggled and put the dress away before packing them and handing it over to Julian. Valerie "That will be 600000 Pok¨¦dors" She said without a flinch, hearing the price Julian was shocked. Julian ''600000 poke dors, so one dress cost me 200000, holy shit, I would rather wear chainmail made of diamonds and that might cost less than this'' He thought as the edge of his lips twitched, even though he is extremely rich, he doesn''t like spending money on expensive things at all, even his own clothes he is wearing right now doesn''t cost more than 100 dors, the only thing he likes to spend his money on is food, and the big purchases he has done has never exceeded 100000 poke dors, he has so much money in his bank ount that even he doesn''t know much much he has and that is his liquid amount, the remaining money that his corporation earns and part of his earnings from it are all invested back into the corporation or the stock market. Even though he has so much money, he still liked to keep it and not spend it, it was like a very big flex that only he cared about [Look how much money I have], but he really never showed it to anyone, it was like his own little secret, a personal flex and nothing else. Julian "I thought I was getting a discount" He said and he clearly remembered defeating Valerie and getting a discount on her designer dress. Valerie "Of course, but that deal is off, you saw something which you shouldn''t have, you caught me when I was the most vulnerable, and I think the show you got is worth the discount cut, don''t you think?" She said reminding Julian that he just watched her masturbate in front of him, he will not deny that it was very exciting, people would go crazy on the inte just to see a semi-naked Valerie and he got the full show for free before but now it cost him his discount. Julian sighed. Since Valerie has already made the dress and it looks so beautiful Julian didn''t want to not buy it, he decided to buy it and pay the full price, he did see Valerie naked and pleasuring herself after all. Julian "Ok, I will pay" Julian said and paid the amount in full and sent the money directly to her ount, usually, she doesn''t ept money directly but since this is Julian, she made an exception. Julian said his farewell and left her room leaving Valerie all alone. Valerie "Such a charming man, what a waste that I couldn''t get anything else from him" She said and this time locked the door behind her before going back to her activity. Julian didn''t expect something like that from Valerie but he was not someone to judge, he has his own kinks that he doesn''t want the world to find out. He made his way down the corridor before finally arriving in front of Chloe''s assigned room, he knocked on the room a few times before the door was opened by a woman with short ck hair wearing sses. The woman red at the tall man in front of her, she seems very annoyed right now, she has been sending away visitors from the morning, many people came and knocked on the door just to meet Chloe, but they were all rejected, by fans to different producers all came to meet her. By now she has had enough, she coldly red at Julian and went off. "Don''t you people have anything else to do, why do you keep bothering Ms. Chloe, she can''t meet anyone, get lost!" She yelled and mmed the door right on Julian''s face, Julian was taken by surprise by this, he expected a warm hug and kiss from Chloe but he was greeted by her cold manager. He chuckled and knocked on the door once again. Chapter 1088 - The Feisty Manager Julian knocked on the door again expecting another ear full but he also wanted to see the manager''s reaction when she finds out who he really is. The door was opened once again by the same woman, she looks really pissed right now, if looks could kill she would have exploded Julian''s head with just her stare. Manager "Why are you back, can''t you understand what I said? Get lost" She shouted again, Julian was not angry at her at all, she was just doing her job, and having such a scary manager is advantageous as annoying people will stay away from Chloe. Julian smiled and looked at the manager before opening his mouth. Julian "Are you sure, you want to yell at me?" Manager "I can be mad at anyone I want, now get lost and don''t waste miss Chloe''s precious time" She yelled again. Julian "Ok now, calm down, are you sure you are not being too hot-headed right now, what if I was a very important person and you just offended me" Julian teased with a light tone but the manager seems to be having none of it. Manager "I don''t care even if you are the president of the league, you can leave" She yelled back, Julian is surprised once again, he didn''t expect Chloe''s manager to be so bold, even after giving her a clue she didn''t budge. "Mona, what is happening outside?" Suddenly a soothing voice came from inside questioning the manager, Julian also just learned that the manager''s name is Mona, he then heard footstepsing towards them from inside and the smile on his face grew wider. Mona "Miss Chloe, you shouldn''t bother yourself, its just someone causing trouble" She said and tried to stop Chloe but Chloe still made her way towards the door, when she got there she saw a tall man wearing a face mask and an orange jacket, she didn''t even have to look for a second before the smile on her face bloomed wide and she rushed towards him and hugged him. Mona was stunned by this, she didn''t expect Chloe to hug this person, as she wondered who this person is, someone shed in her mind, there could be only one person in this world who should be able to hug Chloe and that is none other than Julian. As she realized who this person really was, her face went pale and she started to shake in fear, if Julian really got offended there is no way she is keeping this job, she just got it and she didn''t want to lose such a good job. Being the manager of one of the most popr actresses and models of this industry is a privilege to people like her and she can''t believe she just ruined it by shouting at her boyfriend. Chloe "Where were you, I was waiting for you" She said and finally stopped hugging him. Julian "I went to get this gift for you, Daisy and Cynthia" He said and showed her the bag he was carrying in his hand. Chloe "What is it?" She asked and got curious. Julian "Not now but after the show" He said and walked into the room along with Chloe, Mona just stood there in fear, she didn''t say anything as she didn''t want to piss off Julian any further than she has already done. Julian noticed that Mona waspletely frozen and chuckled, her expression was simr to what he expected, Mona noticed Julian looking at her flinched in fright, she is now expecting a scolding and worse getting fired. At the end of the day, if Chloe doesn''t want her as her manager she will get fired. Julian "No need to be so tense, you were just doing your job, I won''t hold a grudge so don''t worry" Julian said and he didn''t want to torture the poor woman anymore, Chloe and chuckled as she saw her manager so tensed up. Chloe "Don''t worry, he might be intimidating but he is very kind" Chloe also tried tofort her, Mona calmed down and was relieved that Julian was easygoing and didn''t take her actions towards him very seriously. Chloe "Mona go and bring us something to drink" Chloe ordered. Mona nodded and walked out of the room leaving Julian and Chloe alone, Julian and Chloe talked before they were joined by Daisy as well, she shared this room with Chloe but was out due to some problem with the pokemons that needed some grooming. After talking for a while both of them got busy as the show is about to begin in an hour, Julian also left their room as they need to prepare for the show, he didn''t want to stay in their room and distract all the workers that will be entering the room. He headed to the audience area and looked around before finally taking his seat in the VIP area, this area was closest to the walkway and from here he will be able to see all the models perfectly. Julian couldn''t wait as he wanted to see Chloe in those beautiful dresses, as time passed the seats around him started to get upied as well, he could do nothing but just patiently wait for the show to begin. Chapter 1089 - The Event Julian knows nothing about how a fashion show and how they function, he eagerly waited as his surrounding started to get crowded with people, he got a little lucky as people sitting next to him were beautiful women as well. The women around him all seem to be from very rich backgrounds and they are not hiding it, they are wearing expensive watches, jewelry, and dresses that definitely made them stand out, Julian looked like someone who doesn''t belong to the high ss as he sat between all these beautiful women. Luckily for him, no one recognized him as he hid behind his mask, the event soon started as the main lights dimmed down and colorful lights started to move around the stage, soon a slow hum sounded, and music started to y. People started to cheer as someone walked in, a man wearing a red suit, nicely groomed hair, and a smile mic attached to his ear, he clearly seems to be the host of this event. The man started to talk and weed everyone present in the venue, Julian looked outside the VIP area and saw thousands of people cheering for him, it looks like this host is quite famous. He tried to listen to people and found out that this guy is a very famous host who is also an actor and a singer in this industry, he seems to be quite influential as well, some of the women around him screamed their lungs out as they looked at this host, but they were few in numbers, most of the high-ss women here just had a smile on their face, just looking at them Julian could tell they didn''t really think much of this host at all. Well they were very rich women who either built their own torture or inherited both money and power and to them, these celebrities are not that much of an appeal, they are here only to look at thetest fashion and nothing else. The host continued to run the show for a few minutes, he also sang a few of his very hit songs which caused the crowd to go wild, Julian had to admit that this man has a very good singing voice. After he was done with his singing, the very first fashion walk began, the host introduced the designer of the uing walk and left the stage, soon different music started to y and the models started to make their way out into the ramp. Julian watched as these models walked out in very unique lingerie, some were almost transparent while somewhere not but they still stood out, these lingeries really went well with these models, their slim body and long legs made them stand out a lot. Julian wouldn''t deny that he enjoyed this first show, what he didn''t expect was the women around him discussing the lingerie, they talked about if those would look good on them, these women were familiar with each other so they didn''t shy away from discussing some very intimate details and since he has very good hearing he could hear everything. Even the kinkiest part of their sex life, Julian felt a little weird hearing about other people''s sex life as he was a very private person himself. He decided to continue to watch the show and wait for Chloe''s entrance, he was a little relieved that Chloe was not in the first ramp walk because those lingeries were very exposed and Julian doesn''t want strangers to stare at his to-be wife. The fashion show was better than Julian expected. After the lingerie came the other designed dresses along with their designers, some of these brands were quite famous while others were new in the business and wanted to stand out. Julian liked how even unknownpanies can participate in this event and attract investors, as Julian looked around he realized that the market for women clothing was quite big, he wondered if he should invest or create his own brand as it is never a bad option to make more money and from seeing how these women eat these designs up Julian knows that there is very little chance of failing with his reputation and he also has Chloe to model for him if he wants to. But before that, he wants to learn a little more about this industry, and luckily for him, he might have just befriended a very famous fashion designer. The event continued and it was finally time for what Julian was waiting for, the host appeared again, the guy looked a little tired as the event has been going on for hours but he still put a smile on his face and introduced Valerie as she is thest person to show her design. Valerie walked on the ramp in a very beautiful dress, it waspletely different from the one he has seen her in, it is elegant, colorful, and beautiful. She came up front and smiled while looking at Julian, she then proceeded to introduce her design to the audience, models started toe out wearing beautifully designed dresses by Valerie. All of them looked very beautiful in their designed dresses and the pokemon apanying them help them stand out even more. Julian''s wait was over as the walk was ended by his own to-be wife Chloe, she is wearing a blue-colored dress and alongside her is his Gardevoir who is also stunning under the lights. Them ending the walk was exceptional, people seem to be satisfied, buyers seem to be satisfied, investors seem to be satisfied, Chloe met his eyes and smiled and showed off her beauty. Chapter 1090 - Sudden Switch Julian was mesmerized as he looked at his to-be wife, she looked like the most beautiful woman in the world right now, the dress she was wearing just highlighted her beauty, she looked like someone who descended from heaven, and with Gardevoir assisting her with her power by surrounding her in a light glow really helped her stand out. It was not only Julian who was mesmerized by her beauty, everyone in the event was going crazy, her fans shouted her name with all their might, but even the women next to Julian also seemed jealous of her beauty. Julian just smiled as he looked at Chloe, she walked to the end of the ramp, turned around showing the whole dress, and looked at Julian, and winked at him with a seductive smile. This, of course, caught the attention of people sitting around Julian, some of them thought that Chloe looked at them and smiled at them. Some guys were confused while some guys thought that Chloe was hitting on them and are nning to give her a visit, as they are all rich men they felt confident in their status to woo Chloe, they didn''t care if Chloe had a boyfriend, these men have gone after many women with partners just because they are of the higher society. While some of these men were captivated by Chloe''s beautiful smile, the women around Julian clearly noticed for whom that smile was intended to, the women next to Julian nced at him wondering who this person is. She knows that Chloe is very famous but she never cared about her background, but seeing just a beautiful woman paying attention to a man, this person is either very rich or very influential. The woman got interested in Julian and looked at him and checked him out, she noticed that he wasn''t wearing any expensive branded clothes so she felt a little disappointed but she could feel the aura around him, it was dominating and his presence was very different from anyone around her. Julian could feel the woman sitting next to him staring at him but he decided to ignore, he was a little annoyed at Chloe as she directly smiled at him which might have exposed his identity, he also heard some men whisper about her and how they wanted to be with her, this pissed of Julian even more. He decided to visit Chloe afterward and teach her a lesson for being so yful, the event soon ended with Chloe''s grand departure, onest concert was held by a girl group wearing a theme dress code which also seems to be designed by Valerie. With the eventing to an end, Julian made his way back to the backstage area and into the star corridor where all the models are staying, when Julian got close to Chloe''s room he noticed the handsome host standing in front of Chloe''s door blocking her path. He had a very sweet smile on his face and was trying to flirt with Chloe, Julian looked at this weasel and got pissed, having very beautiful fianc¨¦es attract too much attention. Julian noticed that Gardevoir was about to send this man flying through the corridor but Julian sent her a telepathic message and stopped her, Gardevoir was surprised and noticed Julianing towards them, Gardevoir was happy to see Julian. Julian nced at Chloe and noticed that she was visibly ufortable and tried her best to be kind to the young star in front of her, as he is a very famous face Chloe didn''t want to cause a lot of trouble for him. Since the young man was so sessive, his sess got into his head and he forgot who Chloe''s boyfriend was, no matter how big a movie star or an actor really is, they are never favored over pokemons trainers who have high status by the government, the league or the system, as pokemon trainers are the future of a region as their strength will be utilized by the government and the league when the time arrives. And a trainer like Julian was on another level, even if Julian murders someone the league and the government will just turn a blind eye to his actions because of the power he alone holds. Julian slowly approached Chloe as he noticed the young actor trying to get really close to Chloe with the excuse of checking out her neckless but in fact, he was trying to stare at her breast, Julian''s eyes turned cold as he stared at the young actor. The actor suddenly felt chills go down his spine, he felt his head was about to get ripped from his body, he backed off a little from Chloe and noticed a tall man suddenly appear behind her. He noticed that the man is wearing a long coat and a face mask, he didn''t know who this man was but to his surprise, he saw the man put his arm around Chloe''s waist, he saw Chloe suddenly smile and look at the man. ''Fuck, she is a whore, how could she let just some random man grab her like that, if I knew about this I would have fucked her before. She is just a cheating whore, well I can''t me her, her man doesn''t give her any attention, she must be seeking pleasure from other men. I will get my chance soon''. The actor thought and smiled and Julian and tried to introduce himself. "Hello, my name is Barry Wishlon, who might you be?" He asked and extended his hand. Julian "Fuck off!" Julian said in a cold voice, hearing this Barry was stunned, he didn''t expect such an aggressive approach from this man, he frowned and red back at Julian. Barry "Do you know who I am?" He retorted back, one thing Barry didn''t like was being looked down upon, he was a very sessful actor and he got respected wherever he went but now some no-name man is demanding him to fuck off. Julian "I don''t give a shit who you are, if you don''t want your life to be ruined, just leave." Julian said again, he was not going to tolerate any other man looking at his fianc¨¦e Chloe "Darling, let him be, he was just a little excited to talk to me, that''s all" She said and hugged Julian, Julian didn''t say anything and just red at Barry, Barry being the idiot hot-headed actor he is red back at Julian in anger. Barry ''Darling? So this guy either must be her secret lover or her champion boyfriend, who cares what she calls him, at the end of the day she is a whore'' He thought and put on a massive smug smile on his face. Barry "Whatever, I am leaving, you two deserve each other, no wonder this bitch rose up thedder so sessfully, she much has got her back railed by directors and producers behind your back, I have no interest in her" As soon as Barry said these words the surrounding went ice-cold in an instant but before Julian could do anything, Chloe suddenly grabbed Barry''s cor, pulled his face down, and kneed him as hard as she couldpletely busting his nose, she then let go of his cor and kicked him right in his balls cracking his nuts. Barry was overwhelmed by pain as he copsed on the floor and started to wail in pain, Chloe then took the sharp long end of her heels and pressed it down on Barry''s head trying to puncture his face with it. She red coldly at him with her eyes, she was clearly very angry. Chloe "There are things I will never tolerate and that is someone defaming my rtionship with my fianc¨¦ and defaming his character" She said in a cold and chilling tone, Barry who was trembling in pain and blood gushing out of his face was scared shitlessly. He never thought the sweet spoken Chloe would turn so cold-hearted in a second. Chapter 1091 - Ending Career Chloe''s action, of course, caused a lot ofmotion, the wailing of Barry attracted everyone''s attention as many people walked out of their room to look at what is happening. When they walked out of their room they saw the very famous Barry on the ground wailing in pain with Chloe stepping on his face with her very sharp heel shoe. Everyone looking at Chloe was genuinely terrified, they never expected the beautiful sweet Chloe to be so vicious, they also wondered what Barry did to cause her to switch like this. Julian was also surprised by this, he had never seen this side of Chloe but he didn''t mind it at all, if she can flick the switch and take control Julian has even less concern about her safety, Chloe is clearly stronger because of Julian''s help and she is also very fast to take down chumps like this. Everyone seems scared right now, no one knows what to do, some of them even started to film this with their phone, Julian noticed this but didn''t take any action, he didn''t want to further escte the situation. Chloe''s manager who was away doing some work came back as she heard themotion. When she got there she was shocked by what she saw, the very kind Miss Chloe was stepping on someone''s face with her heel, she looked at the person under her heel and noticed that it was none other than the very famous Barry Wishlon. She didn''t know what to do right now, she rushed towards Chloe and tried to pull her away. Manager "Miss Chloe, please let him go, people are filming" She whispered into Chloe''s ear but she didn''t listen to her manager and continued pressing her heel down Barry''s face, if she put even a little more pressure, she might actually puncture through his skin. Julian noticed this and decided to take action, he grabbed Chloe''s arm and got close to her ear. Julian "You can stop, hurting him physically won''t do anything, leave it to me" Julian said. Hearing Julian Chloe nodded her head and removed her foot from Barry''s face and looked at him coldly, Barry was shaking in fear from what he just experienced but there was one more emotion and that was anger, he looked at Chloe with extreme anger in his eyes. He felt likeshing out and choking Chloe to death but the pain he felt between his legs was too much, it was very clear that his balls have been shattered by Chloe''s kick. Themotion was getting louder as more people surrounded them, most of them wondered who the man in the mask is as he was able to pull Chloe away, no one tried to approach her because she looked very scary right now. Themotion also attracted the attention of the people who held this event as they rushed towards the scene when the workers around Julian and Chloe informed them about it, the event manager and the producer got there with some bodyguards. When they got there, they were shocked to see Barry Wishlon on the ground bleeding from his face, they then looked at Chloe as they have already been informed of what just happened here. They didn''t know what to do, the manager and producer knew Chloe''s status, she is the girlfriend of Julian and the league has made sure that she is never treated wrongly but now she has created such a scene and people have already recorded it all and uploaded it online without any context. Because of this Barry''s fans who saw the video were extremely angry at Chloe and they tried to ruin her reputation, Chloe''s fans on the other hand tried to justify her action and asked for context as they couldn''t just blindly defend her as they didn''t know the reason behind her assaulting Barry. But then Julian''s fans took over. Since Chloe is Julian''s girlfriend, they didn''t even care if she was in the wrong, they just overwhelmed every person on the inte with their toxicebacks, they didn''t care what reason Barry''s fan brought up, Julian''s fans just overwhelmed them with "your mom gay" likements. Barry''s fans were utterly defeated, whenever they tried to make a sensible reply they found their whole family tree getting roasted to such an extent that they wanted to delete their social media ount. ____________________ Julian looked at the event manager and producer and walked towards them and removed his mask revealing his identity to both the event manager and the producer, when they saw him they were shocked, they quickly collected their thoughts and got a little closer to Julian with their shoulders slouched. Event Manager "Mr. Julian what are you doing here? You could have informed us about your arrival" He said with a smile on his face, hepletely ignored the bleeding Barry. Producer "Yes, yes, I would have personally looked into this" He also said with a smile. Julian "I didn''t want to cause any trouble so I decided to leave quietly, too bad that couldn''t happen because of him" Julian said and pointed at Barry who was also shocked by seeing Julian, he didn''t expect this person to be Julian himself, he thought that it was one of Chloe''s lovers. Producer "What did he do?" The Producer asked, he was not only the producer of this event but also produced a lot of blockbuster movies. Julian "It''s doesn''t matter what he did now, put a statement that he sexually harassed Chloe, and she defended herself" The producer didn''t say anything and just nodded, he realized that Barry had just made the biggest mistake of his life and ruined his career. Julian "Also make sure, he doesn''t have a job afterward, if you can''t do it I will personally take action" Julian said. Producer "Don''t worry, we will take care of everything" The Producer said, one thing he didn''t want to do was offend Julian, Julian has a very special position, even though he is not a champion the influence and power he has is immense. There was no way the producer would choose Barry over Julian and he also knows how Barry really is, he was arrogant because he was quite famous, he also has several assault cases on his name but he won all of them, and the women who reported those assaults were treated as gold diggers who failed to get him money and then decided to file an assaultwsuit on her. And deep down the producer knew that Barry was not a good man and his time hase. Chapter 1092 - Barrys Fate Julian walked back to Chloe and went into her room along with her leaving everyone on the corridor baffled, many didn''t see Julian or hear his words as he spoke in a very low voice to the producer and manager. The event manager and the producer instructed the bodyguards to take away the bleeding Barry and disperse the crowd. Everything returned back to normal and people went back to doing their work. Many wanted to talk about what happened but the producer forced all who were present in the scene to sign an NDA, as for the video that was posted online, they couldn''t do anything about it but release a statement exining the situation and the producer has been working on it. Back inside Chloe''s changing room, Julian and Chloe sat down on the couch while her manager seemed extremely terrified, even though she is Chloe''s manager she was not able to handle the situation, she felt that it was her fault for not being with Chloe. Julian noticed that Chloe''s manager was freaking out right now so he decided to send her away. Julian "You don''t need to worry about it, go and rest for the day, I will be with Chloe" He said and sent her away, the manager didn''t say anything and just nodded before leaving. Julian looked at Chloe and saw that she was still very angry, her eyes are red from rage, her hands are trembling, just the thought of Barry questioning her loyalty towards him made her this angry. Julian didn''t say anything and just put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him and hugged her. Julian "m down, you don''t need to waste energy over such people, I already took care of him, I don''t think he will have a career anymore" Julianforted her, Chloe just nodded her head and closed her eyes, and rested her head on his chest, being close to him calmed her down. Julian was also very angry about Barry''s words against Chloe and that is why he decided to destroy that man''s career which caused him to have such arrogance. Daisy soon entered the room and saw Chloe sleeping against Julian, she made sure to not make a sound and sat next to Julian, she heard about the incident and rushed here as soon as possible. Daisy also seems to be very angry over the fact that Barry called Chloe a whore, she wanted to go and beat up Barry as well but Julian assured her that it was over and there is no need to take action. Daisy decided to listen to him and just sat there and talked with him. _____________________ While Julian spent his time with Chloe and Daisy, the producer of the event and the police released their statement about the actions taken by Chloe against Barry. When the statement came out, it broke the inte again. In the statement, it stated that Barry was sexually harassing Chloe and Chloe defended herself in the process, though she used excessive force it was still self-defense. Once the news came out Chloe''s fans finally had the chance to talk and they started to shit on Barry, as soon as the topic of sexual harassment came forth, many other people also came forward and imed that Barry had sexually assaulted them as well. While some of these ims might be true most of the ims were just false, people just wanted to drag the drowning person to the very bottom. After a day things got even worse, news came out about Barry losing his job, when people heard about this they started to shit on Barry again, they were d that he lost his job, he wasbeled as a pig for sexually harassing so many people. Even the women that sued him for sexual assault came back and told the world that they were forced to keep quiet or their family and reputation will be hurt, their cases were reopened and Barry was arrested by people. He lost all his sponsorship and his roles in uing movies, and now he might even lose all his money because of all the sexual assault cases that have been reopened. Julian who read this on the inte was happy with the producer''s work, he acted fast and took care of Barry, Julian decided to help his producer in the future and maybe even fund some of his work and help him grow even further. With everything happening as he expected, Julian got up from his bed and looked at both Chloe and Daisy, they will have to leave today as they are busy people, they have their work to do and go back to their usual lifestyle. He decided to make them some delicious breakfast before they leave him, both Chloe and Daisy woke up still a little tired asst night was more eventful than normal, they were still a little sore but they are strong enough to stand up and move around. They cleaned themselves up and ate their breakfast happily, once they were done Julian finally took out the dresses he wanted to give them. They were surprised to see the present, they didn''t get many presents from Julian as they buy their own things, even though Julian is filthy rich they never relied on his money, they bought things with their own money. So a present from Julian is rare, even though they are sometimes very expensive they still take it because they are that rare, when they opened the present and looked at the dress they were shocked. They recognized that it was designed by Valerie, they looked at Julian in anticipation for an answer as they wanted to know how they got their hands on one of them, even the elites of the society don''t have one of these dresses but now Julian has three of them. Julian "I got it from Valerie, you can say she and I somehow became friends" Julian said and smiled. Julian "You should know which one belongs to you by their size right?" Julian asked but he didn''t get an answer, he saw both Chloe and Daisy picking their favorite dress, he was surprised that they picked the right dress without him pointing it out. They looked happy so Julian became happy as well. Chapter 1093 - Negotiation Julian spent more time with both his fianc¨¦es before they leave today afternoon, he dropped them off at the airport, even though they were not willing to leave him but they had to go as their work is waiting for them. Once they left, Julian decided to continue with the task he has in hand, he needs to take care of the admin that he has taken hostage, he also wants to talk with Valerie about the clothing business but before doing that he called Jimi to discuss it. When Jimi heard about Julian''s ns to expand into the fashion industry he was excited, he never thought of entering this market but he knows it is big, he agreed with Julian and decided to look further into it. Julian also told him to offer Valerie an exclusive contract that she cannot refuse, Jimi decided to do that and quite got to work, first, he will have to look into the market, learn how things work, build a team and research the market even more before entering, it will take some time but Jimi is confident in entering the market with Julian''s help and if Julian can convince Valerie to be their exclusive designer things might be even better. After his call with Jimi Julian directly headed towards the Laverre city gym, when he got there he was greeted just like before, the beautiful woman in a beautiful dress weed him and asked him if he is here to challenge the gym leader or for business. When they heard that Julian is here for business, they guided him towards Valerie''s office, Julian looked around her office and noticed that it was filled with art pieces just like when he visited her dressing room at the fashion event. He continued to look around and waited for Valerie toe, he waited for a few minutes and Valerie entered the room with a smile on her face, when she saw that it was Julian her smile grew wider. Valerie "Oh, Mr. Julian, I didn''t expect a visit from you, did you fall in love with me toe to meet me in person" She said with a smile on her face. Julian "Haha, you wish, too bad I only love my fianc¨¦es, I am actually here to talk business" Valerie "Oh, I didn''t expect this either, please take a seat" She said and pointed at the chair, Julian nodded and took his seat, he made himselffortable and leaned back while looking Valerie right into her eyes. Valerie took her seat and looked at Julian as well, as their eyes met she felt pressured. Valerie "So what is this business you want to talk about?" She asked. Julian "Well, as I watched the event yesterday I realized that the fashion market is massive" Valerie "Indeed it is, the fashion market is one of the biggest markets, it is not only people but pokemon fashion is also growing in size" She said. Julian "Indeed and that is why I am here, as I saw the potential, I want to start my own fashion brand" Valerie "Oh, that''s quite ambitious, do you think you can seed?" She asked. Julian "I know I can, I have the best people working for me, these people are the same ones who helped me build my empire and now I want to add one more person in my empire" Julian said. Valerie "So you are saying..." Julian "Yes, I want you to work for mypany exclusively" Valerie "Oh, that a pretty big thing to ask for, I already have a sessful business, why should I be exclusive to yourpany?" Julian "Well, you will get more money, you will get a percentage for all your designs, the money you will be getting will be much more than you are making now or ever going to make. You will have your creative freedom as well" Julian said. Valerie "Many brands came and asked me to be their exclusive designer, they also offered me simr offers but I denied them, why should I take on your offer" Julian "How influential are their brands anyway, they might be big but they are nothingpared to the size of my empire, the amount of money that I can invest in you and your work is more than they are willing to pay, and being associated with me will boost your career even further, and it will not be just me either, I can ask my fianc¨¦es to wear your designs which will boost your designs even further. And it will not just be Chloe, even Cynthia can do it and you know how famous she is as well, many women even try to replicate her style. Them representing your name will boost it even further, you only have a win-win situation, why would you even reject this offer?" Julian said. Listening to him Valerie started to think about it, while she avoided bing exclusive to a certain brand because she wanted to be an independent designer but that will not further her career to the absolute top, even though she is big she is not the biggest one out there. Even though her designs are one of the best, they don''t get much attention because they are not advertised as much as designs belonging to exclusively signed designers. Now that she has an option to enter a massive ocean she is thinking about it, she has and is a big fish in theke for quite a while, and now she has the chance to enter the ocean and grow bigger. Valerie "Give me time to think about it" She said. Julian "Sure, someone from mypany will call you in a few days to discuss more the contract" Julian said and got up from the chair and left after saying goodbye, he already knew that she will sign the contract, he knows that he had convinced her and now it is all up to Jimi to finish the negotiation. Now that he has handled this situation, the only one left is the Team re admin that he has captured. Chapter 1094 - Warehouse Julian made his way out of Valerie''s gym and looked and directly headed towards the address where Aliana should be with the other Team re admin. He made it to the warehouse where she is being kept, since this warehouse is not somewhere near the center of the city, there are not many people whoe here, Julian chose this ce after carefully observing the surrounding for a few days. When he got there he saw no one around, this was expected as he did his observations before, he walked towards his warehouse and entered it, as he entered the warehouse he saw no one, he knew that Aliana won''t keep the Team re admin out in the open, he has to go deeper into the warehouse. He locked the door of the warehouse behind him and walked deeper into the warehouse, the ground level seems to be very empty as there are only a few things lying here and there, some of them are metal objects while others are empty or torn cardboard boxes. Julian carefully looked around and found some metal stairs that led upstairs, Julian looked at those stairs and noticed that the stairs have light footprints, Julian realized that both Aliana and the Team re admin must be on the upper floor. Julian made his way up the stairs which created screeching sounds of metal grinding against each other, Julian didn''t bother alerting anyone as there should only be Aliana and the female Team re admin and if Aliana did her job properly Julian shouldn''t face any problem. When he got to the upper floor, he was surprised to see what he was seeing in front of him, he had expected a broken and dirty area filled with webs and trash but it was very clean and at the end of the room he saw a bed on top of whichid Aliana. She didn''t seem to notice Julian at all as she stared into oblivion, beside her was a chair and on top of which sat the other Team re admin Mable Mable "You traitor, how long are you going to keep me tied up, soon the boss will figure out and kill you for your betrayal" Mable said while gritting her teeth. Aliana "Hehe, you just don''t know anything, soon you will join my master side as well" Aliana said with a very confidant tone in her voice, it was as if there is nothing her master could do wrong. Mable just clicked her tongue and decided to ignore Aliana as she noticed that Aliana waspletely lost in her own fantasy with this so-called master of hers, she didn''t know how this master of hers'' took control over her, she was worried because if she falls in the hands of this master, she might also turn into someone like Aliana. As Mable was thinking of a way to escape, she noticed someone standing near the staircase, she squinted her eyes to get a clear view of this person but she couldn''t see anything, she just saw a silhouette of this man, he is wearing a long brown coat and a face mask. Mable "Who are you?" She called out as she didn''t feel good about the sudden appearance of this person, Aliana who heard Mable''s question got up from the bed and looked in the direction Mable is looking at. As soon s she saw this person, she jumped off from the bed and rushed towards Julian while fixing her dress, she is wearing a blue short single-piece dress showing her thighs and most of her breasts only covering her nipples. Aliana "Master, you are finally here" She said as she obediently stood in front of Julian, Julian nodded and got closer to her and put his arm around her, cing his hand over one of her breasts, Aliana felt his electrifying touch around her breasts and let out a soft moan, her cheeks blushed red as her gaze filled with lust looked at Julian. She has been waiting for Julian to touch her for quite a while now and Julian finally touched her, Julian massaged her breast and made his way towards Mable with Aliana around his arms. He stood in front of the tied-up Mable and looked at her, Mable gritted her teeth and tried to figure out who this person was and what he wants from her. Julian let go of Aliana and got closer to Mable and checked her out, Julian was surprised to see that Mable is quite a beauty herself, her blue hair, her very curvy figure, her th thighs, and her big butt, a perfect specimen for his collection. Mable "Who are you?" She asked again. Julian slowly removed his mask and showed his face to Mable. When Mable saw the face hiding behind the mask, she was shocked, she clearly remembers this face as it is quite famous, she has seen his face everywhere, from TV to massive billboards, Julian''s face is stered. Mable "It''s you!" She eximed. Julian "Looks like she knows who I am, well I am quite famous after all" He said and chuckled. Aliana "Master is the best, of course, a bitch like her has her eyes on you, she might have even touch herself while looking at your pictures." Aliana said while standing behind Julian, hearing Aliana Mable clicked her tongue again, she hated how Aliana acted right now. Aliana "Mind your manners, you should feel blessed just to be in front of my master" She said angrily at Mable. Julian "No need to get aggressive Aliana, she will soon fall inline" Julian said and crouched down looking Mable straight into her eyes. Julian "So did you enjoy your time here?" He asked. Mable "How can one enjoy being tied up for a whole day?" She retorted back. Julian "Ah, shit, Ipletely forgot, you must have been very ufortable but it really doesn''t matter to me, you and your little organization seems to be causing too much trouble and it needs to be stopped so from now on you will be working for me, just like Aliana here" Mable "Hahaha, me working for you? Never! I am loyal to my boss and once I get out of here you will regret ever tying me up" She said while fiercely ring at Julian. Julian "You are one feisty one aren''t you? But don''t worry Aliana was also very feisty but she learned what''s best for her, you will soon follow her" Julian said and got up and sat down on the bed next to her, Mable stared at Aliana and back at Julian, she then smirked. Mable "And how are you going to do it? I am not as easy as this bitch" Julian "Oh, you don''t have to worry about that, I have my ways and soon you will see how foolish your ideologies really are and how stupid you were to follow Lysander" Julian said and looked at Aliana and signaled her to get closer to him. Chapter 1095 - Using One To Manipulate The Other (18+) Aliana saw Julian calling her and got excited, she stood in front of Julian as he sat there and looked at Mable. Julian "On your knees" He ordered. Aliana didn''t even question him and got on her knees, Mable raised her brows as she didn''t know what is going on. Julian "Get to work" Julian ordered. Aliana got excited and unzipped his pants and took out his penis, it was stillid so Aliana started to use her mouth and lick it, his penis started to grow inside and became stiff, his penis outgrew her face but she didn''t stop licking it. She held his penis with one hand and used her tongue to lick the shaft of his penis from bottom to top, Mable who saw this was stunned, she couldn''t process it at all. She saw the size of Julian''s penis and got overwhelmed by it, her first thought was not even questioning Aliana''s action but wondering if that thing could even fit inside her. She then snapped out of her dazed state and looked at Aliana licking Julian''s dick. Mable "What are you two doing?" She asked with shock-filled in her voice. Julian "Can''t you see, I am giving her a reward" Mable "Reward?" She murmured as she watched Aliana put her mouth around his penis''s tip and sucked on it like a lollipop, Mable watched as Aliana''s saliva dripped down her mouth and covered his penis. Julian "Yes, she did such a good job, bringing you here, keeping you tied up, making sure that no one from Team re finds out about it. She, of course, deserves this" Julian said with a smile on his face. He then looked at Aliana who is using her tongue to lick the tip of his penis, she licked of the precuming out of his penis and savored the vor. Julian grabbed the back of her head and then slowly pressed her head towards his penis, Aliana opened her mouth wide open to take it all, she felt Julian''s massive penis slowly entering her mouth which then went down her throat. The muscles in her throat got stretched as Julian felt his penis getting squeezed tightly, Aliana''s eyes rolled up as she took it all in, tears started to run down from her eyes as his penis hit all the sensitive spots. Mable who was watching this was shocked, she couldn''t believe such a massive penis went all the way inside Aliana''s mouth, she then wondered if she could take it all in, as she thought about it, she realized that she is starting to feel horny, the thought of Julian ramming his penis inside her mouth simted her hidden fantasies about being forced and dominated. And Julian being in presence just amplified it, she rubbed her legs together trying to hide the little wet area on her panty. Julian did pay attention to Mable''s action and he saw her hesitating and staring at his penis being forced down Aliana''s throat. He held Aliana''s head for a few seconds as the muscles inside Aliana''s throat tightened and loosened, he then removed his penis and let Aliana take a deep breath before shoving it deeper inside her mouth again, after stretching out her throat he started to face fuck her. He grabbed both sides of her head and started to use it like a fucktoy, Aliana gagged on his penis, her saliva dripped down her mouth continuing to lubricate Julian''s penis, her eyes rolled over, her hands behind her back, she acted as an obedient ve. Mable saw this and was in shock, putting a penis and keeping it inside was one thing but ramming it inside Aliana''s mouth and using her as a toy was something else, Mable started to get wetter down there and she squeezed her legs together even tighter. Aliana "~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~gluk~" The sound of her mouth being used was loud and clear, this didn''t help Mable in any way, it just started to mess with her imagination, instead of Aliana, she pictured herself in Aliana''s ce, Julian holding her face and fucking it like a toy. Julian soon reached his limit and released a massive load down Aliana''s throat, he slowly removed his penis from her mouth and looked at Aliana''s face. Aliana, on her knees, her hand behind her back, her eyes filled with lust, looking at him with her mouth wide open, her tongue out, and his cum mixed with her saliva dripping out of her mouth, it was quite a sight. Julian took out his phone and took her photo. Julian "You are lucky, your mistresses will be able to see how much of a whore you are" Julian said as he pinched both sides of her cheeks with one hand, Aliana felt excited as she heard Julian, if Julian was her one true lord, the three mistresses are right below him and they need to be treated with the utmost respect as well. Aliana "~It will be an honor, my master~" She said, though she didn''t say it properly as her mouth is filled with his cum, Julian still understood it. Julian "Let''s continue then" He said and lifted Aliana and threw her on the bed, he then looked at Mable who made eye contact with him and smirked. Chapter 1096 - Masochist (18+) Once Julian threw Aliana on top of the bed, he got on top of it as well, he then flipped her tight skirt revealing her vagina, she wasn''t wearing anything underneath her dress so Julian won''t have to go through the trouble of removing her underwear. She also made sure to wax herself down there to keep it clean and smooth for Julian, Julian smiled and got closer to her vagina, and used his finger to rub it slowly, as soon as his finger touched her pussy her body trembled in excitement. She was soaking wet down there, weing Julian to fuck her, Julian spread her legs apart and got closer to her pussy, and continued to stroke her clit with his finger, Aliana started to moan, and more liquid spilled out of her vagina, dripping down her thigh and touching the bed. Julian continued to massage the skin around her vagina slowly simting her, he then inserted his middle and ring finger inside her pussy and started to finger her, he curved his fingers upward and touched her g-spot, after finding her g-spot Julian started to get aggressive. He moves his hands up and down inside her vagina causing more liquid to squirt out, the sound of her wet pussy being fingered sounded like the sshing of water, Aliana''s moans became louder and aggressive, she arched her back as she felt chills run down her spine from the pressure. After just a minute of fingering and she started to squirt crazily, Julian''s hand waspletely drenched with her vaginal fluids but it didn''t stop him, even after that earth-shattering orgasm he continued to finger her aggressively. Aliana rolled her ices and started to bber iprehensive words with her tongue out of her mouth, Mable who was watching this in shock felt even more ufortable right now, it started to itch down there as she got really turned on but with her hands and legs tied up she couldn''t pleasure herself, she was even a little jealous of Aliana for getting all the pleasure. She just moved her legs around tightly squeezing it trying to somehow pleasure herself, she was already soaking wet down there as well. She watched Aliana moan like a slut, the look on Aliana''s face told her how much she was really enjoying this, she couldn''t believe sex could bring so much pleasure, Mable has had sex and it definitely felt good but she never made such crazy expressions like Aliana. She watched as Aliana squirted once moan, she heard her scream in pleasure and watched her body rx as she started to breathe heavily, Mable could see how lost Aliana was in pleasure, Mable then looked at Julian and noticed that he was staring at her with a smirk on his face. Mable ''Is he going to do this to me as well?'' She questioned herself, even though she didn''t want to admit it, deep down inside she knew she wanted to experience how it felt to be fingered like that. Julian removed his fingers from Aliana''s drenched pussy as it started to spill more of her fluids. Julian "Now it''s ready" He said and turned Aliana on her stomach with her white ass exposed to him, he pped it hard causing it to giggle and leave his handprint behind, Aliana squealed in pain as she felt Julian''s p on her ass. He eyes watered up once again, Julian pped it again causing another squealing reaction from Aliana, her eyes watered up even more and tears flowed out of her eyes, though she felt the pain she enjoyed it. Jenny seems to have turned her into a masochist who enjoyed the pain, as Julian noticed Aliana started to moan and breathe louder he realized that she has turned into a hardcore masochist, he didn''t do this to her so the only other possibility for her to be a masochist is she was either a masochist from the start or Officer Jenny really had a way with Aliana. Well, Julian didn''t mind it as he wanted to test Aliana''s limit, he continues to p her ass with his hand, every time he pped Aliana would moan and squeal with a mixture of both pleasure and pain in her voice. He thought of something and took out a whip from his dimension bag, he had bought this before as his sex life is very adventurous but he never go to use it until now, he finally found a masochist to use it on. He grabbed her short hair with his one hand and pulled her back making her stand on all four, Aliana moaned as she felt her hair being pulled, she really wanted to get dominated right now and this excited her even more, seeing the whip in Julian''s hand caused her to breath heavily as her face turned red in excitement. Julian "Even though you did a good job with the mission, you have been a very bad girl, am I right?" He asked. Aliana "~Sorry Master, I have really been a very bad girl~" She said in a seductive voice. Julian "Then you should know that you will be punished for it right?" Aliana "~Yes Master~~Please punish this filthy whore of yours~" She said and shook her ass. Mable who is still watching this scene where she reced herself with Aliana saw how she acted like a Masochist right now, she wondered if she would be turned into a Masochist as well and just this idea inside her head made her hornier. She imagined herself saying those words to Julian as he whipped her continuously. Chapter 1097 - BDSM (18+) Julian looked at the multi-strap whip in his hand, he then looked at Mable and noticed that she was also staring at it with wide eyes, he smirked and slowly tickled Aliana''s ass with the whip. Aliana shivered as she felt the strips of the whip ncing over her ass that has been turned red by those ps. Julian then extended his hand and whipped her, the sound of the rubber strips hitting her ass was loud, though Julian didn''t hit her too hard and controlled his strength it still made quite a loud sound. Aliana flinched as she felt the whip hitting her, she squealed from the pain but as the hot sensation of the pain traveled through her body, she felt immense pleasure, her eyes teared up as they slipped down her cheeks. Julian saw Aliana''s face and looked into her eyes, those eyes told him everything, how much Aliana was enjoying the pain, she was clearly a masochist. Julian continued to use the whip, he used it not only on her ass but on her pussy, he turned her around and whipped her breasts, her thighs, every sensitive spot on her body. Mable who was watching this continued to struggle to keep her mind cool, she was clearly overwhelmed by all the actions that are going in front of her, she doesn''t know what to do with the current situation. Julian continued to use Aliana''s body, he took out some ropes and tied her up, he took out all the BDSM stuff he had and put it on her, her nipples were pinned with clips, the whole scene became quite extreme. Julian somehow found this very enjoyable, till now he enjoyed sex through pration and being dominant but now he realized that sex can also be enjoyed through other means and there needs to be no pration involved. He loved this, but, of course, he won''t force others into BDSM if one doesn''t want to but he can''t see any of his lovers ever denying him about anything, for now, he decided to stick with Aliana. Aliana is lying on the bed with her whole body tied up, her arms are tied up behind her back, her breasts tied around with ropes making them stand out firmer. Julian then grabbed her hair and made her face Mable, Mable looked at Aliana''s face and wanted to cringe, she couldn''t believe the face Aliana was making. In her eyes, Aliana is making the most vulgar face one could make, salivaing out of her face, tears flowing down her eyes, and washing up her eyeliners marking her cheeks. It was something Mable didn''t want to experience, she didn''t have any problem with Aliana actually making such faces, it was her mind that is ying tricks on her, she saw herself in Aliana''s ce, making such faces, and deep down she knew she wouldn''t mind it. Julian "Now, for the main course" Julian said and grabbed his penis and pressed it against Aliana''s pussy, due to the rope tied around her pussy, her vulva looked thicker than usual, he rubbed her vulva with his penis and simted her clit by softly stroking it. Aliana moaned and shook her ass as she weed Julian''s penis inside her. Aliana "Master, please fuck this whore of yours and please yourself" Julian just smiled and put it inside, there was no resistance from her pussy at all, even though her pussy is very tight, it still easily excepted his penis, with one powerful press his penis has already gone past through her cervix and into her uterus. Aliana''s eyes went wide as she felt his penis hitting the very deep end of her insides, she screamed in pleasure and started to moan crazily. With Julian holding her tied hands and fucking her from the back in the doggy style, her exposed big breast giggled around rapidly, her saliva dripped down her tongue and fell on the bed, shepletely lost it and moaned like an idiot. Mable who was watching this was having another level of shock hitting her mind, she thought Aliana''s previous expressions were vulgar but now she doesn''t even sound like a human, she was being fucked like a toy. She looked at Julian and saw him using Aliana''s pussy like some object, being as rough as he could, she could hear the sound of his balls pping against Aliana''s vulva, the sound of her vaginal fluids sshing inside her own vagina, she saw with every stroke Julian was getting faster and faster with his motions, it looked like he was drilling her with a jackhammer. Mable had seen rough sex but this was on a whole different level, she couldn''t even believe that someone could fuck like this, she thought of her own sexual experience and her rough encounters where she felt her pussy would be destroyed by those big penises but this seems to be on apletely new level. By now the seat she has been tied on ispletely drenched with her whole vaginal fluids as well, now it got really ufortable for her to sit on that chair as even her skirt was drenchedpletely. She just watched as Aliana continued to get railed, she saw everything, from Aliana''s breasts moving around rapidly to her dted lost eyes, to her careless vulgar expression, even without touching her Julian had already made her submit to him to some degree. This went on for two hours as Mable saw Aliana being fucked around in the bed in different positions, doggy, missionary, spooning, piledriving, she saw him using Aliana''s mouth and ass as well, after two hours of very intense domination Mable saw Aliana lying on the bed breathing heavilypletely lost from reality. But she could also see that Aliana is very blissful right now as if she just experienced heaven, she watched as Julian removed his penis from Aliana''s pussy which was followed by a thick flow of his semen seeping out of Aliana''s pussy. Mable gulped down by looking at the side of Julian''s penis and the amount of semen he deposited inside Aliana''s pussy. Chapter 1098 - Immense Pounding 1 (18+) Julian removed his penis from Aliana and looked at her condition, seeing her breathing heavily and with a blissful look on her face, Julian was satisfied, he took out his phone and took her picture so that he can send it to his fianc¨¦es afterward. He then looked at Mable and noticed that she is staring at his dick, he looked between her legs and saw that her skirt ispletely drenched, he knew that he achieved the oue he was hoping for. Julian "Now I need someone to clean this" He said while looking at his penis, Mable, of course, heard this and looked at Julian''s penis which is still covered in fluids, she realized that Julian is talking about her. She watched as Julian got off the bed with his erect penis and walked towards her, she gulped down and watched as Julian got closer to her, his penis is right in front of her face, she gasped as she looked at it, looking at it up close she realized that she really might not be able to take it. She could smell it, the stench of his penis smelled very potent, she sniffed and opened her mouth subconsciously, She was surprised by her own actions but she didn''t close her mouth at all. She looked directly into Julian''s eyes and wondered if he will put it inside her mouth or not. Julian "Good Girl" Julian said and put the tip of his penis inside her mouth, he didn''t expect Mable to open up so easily, he thought he needs to order her around a little before sheplies, but it looks like he underestimated his own charm. Mable is already having fantasies about him viting her and roughing her up on the bed. Mable was once again taken back as she tasted Julian''s penis, her mouth was filled with the taste of his and Aliana''s fluids that were on his penis, she could smell it as it was right below her nose making it taste even more potent as smell also ce a factor in taste. Julian "Now be an obedient girl and start cleaning" He ordered looking right into her eyes, Mable didn''t say anything and started to use her tongue to lick his penis. She started to go deeper down his shaft to clean it properly. Mable ''If I don''t do this, he might kill me and it''s not like I have never sucked a dick before and for some reason, I love the taste of this one even with that bitch''s fluids on it'' She thought and continued to suck on it, she tried to justify why she is sucking this penis but deep down she wants to. Julian and Mable kept eye contact the whole time, she continued to go back and forth as her lips stretched and retracted, she used her tongue inside her mouth to press hard on his penis and put more pressure on it. Julian "There is still a lot of cleaning to do, lets speed this up" Julian said and grabbed her head with both hands and pushed his dick deeper into her mouth, Mable''s eyes widened, and her pupils contracted as she felt his massive penis go down her throat, she gagged very loudly but Julian didn''t let her rest. He won''t ally any break for her, he held her head tightly and started to face fuck her, Mable was taken back. She felt ufortable as Julian''s massive penis ravaged her mouth, she gagged louder and louder, her saliva dripped down her mouth and soon she started to reach her limit. Seeing that Mable is at her limit, he removed his penis from her mouth and let her breathe, as soon as he pulled out his penis Mable coughed multiple times spitting out her saliva and taking deep breaths. After collecting herself she looked at Julian again, Julian didn''t say anything and brought his penis in front of her mouth again, Mable opened her mouth and let him enter again, Julian grabbed her head again and started to face fuck her. This went on for more than ten minutes, Mable''s jaw started to hurt and her throat was going sore but she has already submitted to Julian and was enjoying him ravaging her mouth, she continued to look at Julian with eyes filled with lust as Julian used her mouth. Seeing her expression Julian knew he already has her and now he needs to move to the main event, he released a massive load down her throat and pulled out his penis, and looked at Mable holding onto his remaining semen in her mouth. Julian took her picture and saved it in his phone, he then ordered her to swallow it all, Mable nodded and gulped down everything, she even licked her lips to lick off the excess around her mouth as well. Julian then looked at her handcuffs and ripped them apart with his bare hands, Mable was surprised as this should not be possible but she just saw it. She then saw him put his arms around her and lift her up and throw her on the bed, she used her hand to back off as she knows what ising next, she knows her pussy is going to get destroyed right now. As she backed fo using her hand but she stumbled as she put her hands on Aliana''s slippery body which is covered in sweat. Julian got on top of the bed and looked at Mable, her th thighs were clearly the main attraction, they looked soft and bouncy, he was going to enjoy it. He grabbed her around her thigh and dragged her towards him, Mable panicked as she thought Julian is going to insert his penis inside her right now. Julian lifted her skirt and noticed that she is not wearing any underwear, he also noticed that she has a hairy pussy, blue-colored pubes on top of her pussy, since he has no preference it didn''t matter to him. Chapter 1099 - Immense Pounding 2 (18+) He grabbed her things and felt them and he was happy with the results, they were very soft to the touch, he could touch them for hours. He looked at Mable''s face and he could clearly see the anticipation in her face, he grabbed his penis and started to rub it on her wet pussy, she let out soft moans and bit her nails as she waited for the penis to enter. Julian grinned and suddenly bent her in half, he pushed her legs over her head and then put it behind her head, he knew she was flexible but seeing it in action is a different experience, with her legs behind her head she doesn''t have much movement. Mable wanted to move but she couldn''t, Julian then got on top of her and held both her wrist stopping her from doing any movement, Mable knew that in this position there will be no mercy, she felt Julian''s dick pressing hard on her pussy, with it fully exposed to Julian he doesn''t even have to look to insert it. He then entered her pussy without giving her a warning, his massive penispletely stretched her pussy to its limit, Mable''s eyes went wide by surprise as she felt her pussy being stretched. Mable "~AAAAANNNNGGGGGGG~" She shouted and squealed, Julian then started to pound her rapidly, the sshing of her vaginal fluids, his balls hitting her ass, his abdomen pping on her thighs, the sound was loud and powerful. Mable started to moan and squeal like a feral cat, his penis was hitting the deepest part of her uterus, with only her head free to move she could just move her head and experience the blissfulness, her hands are being pressed down, her legs are behind her back and her hips are getting dominated by Julian''s powerful thrust. Mable "~MYYY PUSSYYYYYYY~MYYY PUSSYYYYYYY~MYYY PUSSYYYYYYY~MYYY PUSSYYYYYYY~ PLEASE SLOW DO~DOWNNN, YOU ARE GOING TO RIP IT APART" She shouted as she felt her pussy being pushed to the limit, her pussy was on fire, she was experiencing so much pleasure that she couldn''t handle it at all, her vaginal fluids were gushing out like a fountain from all that stimtion, every time his penis reached the deepest part of her pussy her vaginal fluids gushed out and drenched the sheet below them. Her pussy started to turn pink from all that pounding, Julian looked at her face and the face she was making was something even Julian hadn''t seen before. Her iris haspletely disappeared as she rolled it all the way to the back, her mouth was open in an ''O'' shape with her tongue out, her moans were mixed with her grunts that came out from her throat, she was making the most primal of sounds, this excited Julian even more. He started to pound her even harder making her moan even crazier, he fucked her for hours and Mable lost it, she waspletely broken, there was no man in her man except Julian. Aliana recovered and saw how Julian was pounding Mable and got jealous, once he was done with Mable, he left her there spewing out his semen from her vaginapletely lost in her own world of blissfulness. Julian then once again moved on to fucking Aliana, Aliana had already received a pounding but it didn''t matter, he is going to pound her again. This continued. After Aliana he moved on to pounding Mable again for hours, Aliana again, Mable again. With such a high libido Julian could go for a whole day and he did, the two women looked brain dead when Julian was done, both Aliana and Mableid there with his semen all over their body, tongues out, heavy breathing, numb pussy, numb ass, numb mouth. He used these two like no other sex ve of his, Julian took their photo and saved it on his phone, and decided to leave. Julian "Once you recover head back and continue with the n" Julian said and started to walk away. Aliana/Mable "~Ye~Yes~Masterrr~" Both of them said with theirst bit of strength and looked at each other, Mable finally understood why Aliana joined Julian''s side, she finally broke out of Lysander''s brainwashing. ____________________ Julian walked out of the warehousepletely refreshed, since he will be back on road very soon he wanted to clear up all his pent-up desires before he can release them again, that long hard work did its job. He looked back at the warehouse and made his way back to his hotel room, with everything that needs to be achieved being achieved, he has nothing to do in Laverre city, it was time for him to move, he has stayed in this city for too long. He still has two badges to collect and his next destination is Anistar city, he wants to see the sundial in Anistar city as the sundial is actually a part of the meteor that fell in Hoenn, he has seen the sundial in pictures but he wants to see it with his own eyes and find out its mystery. But before he reaches Anistar city he needs to pass through Dendemille town, with ns set in his mind Julian decided to move on. When he realized his hotel room, he fed his pokemons and went to sleep, tomorrow will be the day he finally leaves Laverre city. Chapter 1100 - Abandoned Hotel The next day, Julian woke up early and got ready for leave, he took a bath, wore clean clothes, and finally checked out of the hotel room, he didn''t look back and left the city entering route 15. Route 15 was quite a long journey, a week passed away and Julian was still on route 15, he spent his time on the road training his pokemon and trying to mind new pokemons as well, he found some interesting pokemons that he could catch but decided not to. With his team almost full, it was hard for him to choose to catch any new pokemon as he has to be 100% sure about his next pokemon and these pokemons were not his top priority. Some of these pokemons were Pawniard and Skorupi, there two are very good pokemons but Julian decided to not catch them. Instead, he focused on training his Charmeleon, Julian was d that Charmeleon was catching onto his teammates very fast, Julian believed that his Kalos pokemon will be one of his strongest teams. His Sinnoh team was the most ridiculous of them all but his Kalos team might be a very close second, with pokemons like Charmeleon and Doude he could dominate the whole league very easily. The progress Charmeleon had through his training made his other pokemons also got motivated and intensified their own training to grow stronger. Continuing down route 15 Julian suddenly came across a hotel that looked quite abandoned, there seems to be no one around the hotel, he noticed that the lights are on so it''s clearly not abandoned. . Julian felt that something was weird about this hotel but he decided to stay for the night as he was tired of sleeping outside, if he could get a bed to sleep in tonight he will take it. He drove towards the hotel and stopped right in front of the entrance, at the entrance he saw an old man with grey hair wearing a valet uniform standing next to the entrance. When the old man saw Julian he bowed at him and weed him. "Wee, how long do you n to stay?" He asked. Julian was surprised by this, he didn''t expect the Valet himself to ask him how long he will stay here, it should be the job of the receptionist and not the valet. Julian "Just for tonight" He said and entered the hotel, Julian entered and saw that the hotel was quite beautiful from inside but it feels weird with no one inside, this is a huge hotel, and having no guest is giving red gs to Julian, he wondered what is going on in this hotel right now. The valet that he talked to at the entrance followed him inside the hotel and got behind the receptionist''s table and looked at Julian. Valet "So you will be staying only for a night right?" The Valet asked, Julian was surprised by this, not only was this old man the valet but also the receptionist as well. Julian "Yes" Julian answered and waited for the valet to finish his work, once the valet was done he gave Julian and keycard nervously. Valet "An advice, if the owner of the hotel provoke you to a pokemon battle don''t ept it" He whispered, Julian was taken back as he wondered what is going on. Julian "I could tell that something is not right with this hotel, what is happening?" Valet "I am not allowed to talk to any customers for too long, we are being monitored so it''s better for you to leave right now" He advised. Julian "Sure, will there be anything to eat?" Valet "Yes, the dining hall is right at the end of the hall, you can go there and eat anything you want" Julian nodded and headed towards the elevator, on his way to the elevator he saw some people who didn''t look like workers nor customers, their clothes were crude and their expressions were of a troublemaker. Julian ignored them all and went towards his room, when he got in front of his room he noticed that he was still being monitored, there are cameras everywhere, he ignored those cameras in the corridor and entered his room but he realized that there are hidden cameras even inside the room. Gengar quickly got out of his shadow and destroyed all the hidden cameras and returned to his shadow, Julian cleaned up and took a bath to freshen up and remove all the dirt and dust stuck to him which he acquired on his journey. Once he was done, he walked out of his room and headed towards the elevator when he suddenly stopped as a sound went off inside his head. System ''Space-time rift detected close by'' Julian was surprised by this and looked around wondering where it is, the system soon guided him towards the exact location of the space-time rift. Julian found himself in front of a staircase that leads downward, he couldn''t see or feel anything but since the system has said that it exists here, he doesn''t have any reason not to believe it, it is after all created to help him, though he is fully not depended on it, he likes to be helped sometimes, such as times like this. He thought of something and decided to channel his Omniforce and explore the area, as soon as he channeled the Omniforce inside him to expand throughout the corridor he found it, a tear in space right in front of him. The tear was quite small but he could feel the infinite power of timeing from the other end of the rift, Julian''s body shivered in excitement and fear, there is almost nothing in this world that could scare him but feeling the power of time for the first time was something he never felt before. He could feel how endless it was, he could feel that it had no beginning and no end, but as he felt this, he started to doubt the origin of time itself, if time started to move when Dialga was created why does Julian feel that its origin is even grander than the universe itself. He decided to enter the rift, with his body he should be able to survive inside a time rift so he wasn''t worried, but before that he sent Gengar back to his Pokeball, Julian doesn''t know if Gengar can escape time''s clutches as he can. With Gengar inside the Pokeball, Julian poured his endless amount of Omniforce into the time rift and tried to tear it open. Chapter 1140 - Saving The Snover Julian wondered why this is happening but he didn''t care enough to find out the reason behind it, he continued to watch the incident and see where it goes. The two pokemons continued to battle but the Snover doesn''t seem to have an advantage over the Quidin, it was getting bullied, the Quidin could finish this battle whenever it wants but it didn''t, it is very clear that the Quidin wants to hurt the Snover. It then used Pin Missiles and sent multiple pins made of grass energy towards the Snover, since the Snover is already very weak it has no strength to defend itself, it tried to move away but got bombarded with the Pin Missiles. The Snover went to its knee and there is clear visible damage all over its body, seeing this, Julian decided it was time to end it. This will be his future pokemon, he doesn''t want anything bad to happen to it. Julian "Gengar" Julian worded. Gengar giggled and went towards the group in an instant, he then shot out his shadow tentacle and wrapped the Quidin, and threw it far far away. The other pokemons were shocked by this, before they could do anything more tentacles shot out and grabbed them as well and threw them away far, far away. The Snover was surprised as well, it didn''t understand what happened, it was just getting bullied and now all its bullies have been flung into the air by something strange. It looked at the ck shadow tentacles scared and didn''t know what it was, to it the tentacles are just scary monsters. It tried to run but it tumbled due to its injury caused by the Quidin, it looked back scared and noticed that the tentacles have disappeared but instead of tentacles it saw a human walk towards it, seeing this human it got more scared. This Snover has a very bad experience with humans, in past, it was captured by hunters and separated from its parents, in captivating it was beaten up and tortured by these hunters, it started to fear humans, in its eyes, they are all scary monsters that will hurt and kill pokemons. One day it somehow manage to escape when the hunters were attacked, the cage it was locked in broke and it ran away with other pokemons and somehow ended up here. When it got here it started to get bullied because it was the weakest of them all and didn''t get along with other pokemons, it soon got outcasted by the group and since it is the weakest of them all, it cannot rely on the stronger ones who live in the vige. Strong pokemons hang out with other strong pokemons and pokemons that are weaker than they follow them, this goes on in the whole vige, weaker pokemon follows the stronger pokemon, and being the weakest outcast is not good. __________________ The Snover tried to run away but it couldn''t its legs are weak and given up on it, and its whole body is acing. It turned and looked at the human again and saw that the human is very close to it, it froze on the spot from fear thinking that the human is going to hurt it. Julian got close to the Snover and realized that it was petrified of him, seeing this, Julian felt sad for the little guy, it is having the worst reaction than when it was getting bullied, he wondered what happened to this Snover for it to act like this just after taking a look at him. Julian realized that this Snover has serious PTSD and it will take some time to treat him. Julian knew his approach needs to be careful with this Snover, luckily for him, he has Omniforce and also has the best pokemon to handle this situation. He used his Omniforce to make him look as friendly as possible and he then tapped his front pocket to bring out little Crystal to help him. The Snover who is frozen and quivering suddenly felt a sense of relief as it looked at the human in front of it, for some reason this human didn''t feel threatening or scary like the others it has seen and been in contact with. It then also saw a small pokemon pop its head out of the human''s front pocket and look at it, seeing this small pokemon the Snover felt more relieved. Crystal floated out of Julian''s pocket and approached Snover with the cutest smile and gave it a nice warm hug to calm it down, Crystal could sense Snover''s feeling and it wanted to help Snover calm down. As soon as Crystal did so, Snoverpletely calmed down with the help of Crystal, seeing that Snover has finally calmed down Julian put his hand on the Snover, it flinched but soon calmed down. Julian started to check its injury and found several cuts on its body, some were new and some were old and healing in process, seeing this, Julian found out that Snover has been being bullied for quite a while now. He took out some potions to heal its wounds and also took out some healing berries to feed the Snover. The Snover was surprised by the human''s attitude towards it, it never thought a human would feed and treat it with food. Chapter 1141 - Waves Of Pokemons The Snover didn''t know how to react to this, it just stay in his arms without moving scared that it might get hit again if it tried to do anything. Julian noticed that even though the Snover has calmed down it is still scared of him, as he was treating the Snover he noticed movements from his side, these movements belong to pokemons and they are heading his way. Julian didn''t expect pokemons toe to see trouble so early, but he didn''t even bother to care about them, these pokemons are too weak for him to personally get involved, he continued to check on Snover. A few pokemons rushed out of the bushes and stared at the human that is holding the Snover, the Quidin that was flung into the sky was also with them and pointed at the Snover and said something to the big Arbok. The Arbok looked at the Snover in the human''s hand and hissed angrily, suddenly all the pokemon around it charged at the human and the Snover to beat them up and bully them, maybe even torture the human. Snover noticed the horde of pokemonsing towards them and got scared, it looked at Julian and then at Crystal and tried to warn them but seeing that they didn''t care about the horde that is rushing towards them it got confused. As soon as the horde got close to Julian and was about to attack him, shadow tentacles shot out of the ground and wrapped around the iing horde, and sent them flying through the air again. The leader of the group Arbok was surprised by what just happened, a moment ago it was about to bear its venomous fangs into the human, and the next moment it is flying through the sky along with the pokemons that followed it. It went far and crashed near the pokemon vige right in front of a stronger pokemon, the whole group got knocked out because of them hitting the hard ground from such height. The other pokemon inside the vige were surprised by this, they waited for the pokemons who are knocked out to get up and exin what happened to them. When the pokemons that got knocked out woke up they found themselves surrounded by pokemons stronger and tougher than them. They got nervous and wondered how they ended up here, soon everything became clear and they remembered how they ended up here. Soon they blurred out what happened to the stronger pokemons, the Quidin also exined its story to the stronger pokemons and tried to gain their favor. The stronger pokemons were furious about a human being close to their vige and told them to take them there. Soon arge number of powerful pokemons went to the area where Julian is healing Snover. Julian continued to observe Snover''s recovery and now he could see the visible changes happening on Snover''s body, its wounds are healing and the potions and berries seem to be doing their work. Julian again noticed another horde of pokemons rushing towards the direction and this time the size of the horde is bigger and the strength of each individual pokemon is stronger, and they all seem furious. But it was all useless, as soon as they got close to Julian, they got wrapped around by shadow tentacles and get flung into the air without even understanding what happened. All these big power pokemons were flying through the air and all of them crashed in the pokemon vige again, this time themotion got even bigger as the pokemons realized that there is a formidable foe outside the pokemon vige and they won''t allow any intruder to invade them and they definitely didn''t wee any humans amongst them. Because of this incident, the leader pokemons of the vige were notified about it and they soon gathered an army of pokemon and headed towards the area where the intruders are said to be staying. Julian is now sitting calmly as he watched Snover familiarize itself with Crystal, it was wary at first but soon gotfortable with Crystal and Julian around. As Julian was wondering what he should do next, he noticed another hoard of pokemon rushing towards him, but this time it is not just a hoard but a whole army, consisting of more than 100 pokemons and all of them are very powerful. This looks like the elite force of the pokemon vige, Snover who was busy ying also noticed this and got scared and rushed towards Julian and hid behind him while sneaking a peek from the side to see what is happening. It got more scared as it saw the massive army of pokemons rushing towards them, it didn''t want to stay here anymore and wanted to leave. The few leaders of this pokemon vige are Vespiquen, Pangoro, Scolipede, and Exploud. These four are clearly the leaders and are also heading the charge, Julian looked at the group and wondered what they will be able to do against his Gengar. This time Gengar decided to stop ying games and make a grand entrance to scare these pokemons and so his effort to look mighty powerful began. Chapter 1142 - The Shadow Monster As the wild horde got closer to Julian''s group, Gengar made his move, he separated from Julian''s shadow and got right in between Julian and the hoard. The hoard of pokemon saw the ck shadow on the ground and ran directly towards it, from what they heard from the pokemons that got attacked and they were attacked by a ck shadow, these hoard of pokemons realized that the one who attacked was the shadow in the ground. Some pokemons used special attacks and attacked the ground where Gengar''s shadow is causing multiple explosions but to their surprise, the shadow didn''t disappear. All of them suddenly came to a halt as they heard a creepyughing from the show. Gengar "GEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGE" They never felt so terrified before, they realized that this ck shadow is dangerous but they are still confident in their numbers. The leaders of the hoard decided to courage up and attack the shadow on the ground again but before they could move, Gengar expanded the shadow on the ground over 10 meters making him look like a menace. The leaders that tried to step in backed of as they didn''t know what was going to happen, they then noticed the massive shadow move, suddenly the arms of the shadow shot out of the ground and held on to the side, then the massive shadow itself came out of the ground and presented itself as a massive shadow figure. Standing over ten meters tall, this shadow was clearly a nightmare fuel with crimson red eyes, massive mouth with red insides, big massive hands with sharp ws, it looked like Gengar but on steroids and much bigger. But at the end of the day, it was not Gengar, just the shadow he was controlling, he could shape it however he wants and he made it look scary. Seeing the massive monster in front of them, the pokemon hoard were scared shitlessly, they didn''t know such type of monster exists, they backed off a little and tried to figure out how to deal with this monster, they didn''t want to let go of the pokemon vige and run away. This area has a lot of resources for them to just give up and run. The leaders decided to take the first step and used their most powerful special attacks on the massive shadow monster. But to their shock, their attacks just passed through it like there was nothing there, at first they were scared but soon one of the leaders realized that if their attacks cannot touch the shadow, the shadow cannot touch them as well. Thinking it figured out the shadow monster the Exploud leader, charged at the massive shadow while using Crunch, it created a massive jaw made of dark energy and tried to go past the shadow and attack the human behind it. But things didn''t go as expected, as soon as the jaw made of energy came in contact with the shadow monster it exploded sending the Exploud rolling back on the ground, it got back to its feet and looked at the massive shadow in confusion, it wondered why it didn''t work, why did its other moves went past the shadow monster and this didn''t. As it was thinking the shadow monster finally took its first step and swung its massive hand at Exploud, Exploud saw the iing swipe and tried to run but it got swatted into the air and disappeared from everyone''s sight. The other pokemon leaders were now shivering in fear, they realized that this shadow monster is not something they should have messed with in the first ce, they cursed the pokemons that brought them here and tried to flee, the hoard slowly stepped back but Gengar was not going to let them go so easily. The shadow monster charged up a massive dark pulse in front of its mouth and shot it at the hoard of hundreds of pokemon. Though this dark pulse is not as strong as something directly from Gengar it is still devastating to pokemons in front of it, the dark pulse tore through the air shattering the sound barrier and hitting the pokemons on the other end. A powerful explosion took ce and all the pokemons were sent shooting through the sky and when the dust settled down, there was a massive crater on the ground, it looked like some meteor had struck thend causing such deep and wide crater. Julian looked at the crater and felt annoyed, even though Gengar was holding back, he still caused a lot of destruction, he was also impressed by how much Gengar has developed in controlling the shadow and making avatars out of it like the shadow monster. He could even change their properties from physical to nonexistence, this is the reason why some attacks got through and some didn''t. The Snover who saw this all is now even more shocked than ever, it was scared when it saw the giant shadow monster appear but it soon realized that the monster is on their side and will be fighting off the hoard, it saw how the giant monster destroyed all the pokemons that rushed towards them, it even saw the strong leaders of the pokemon vige getting destroyed by the shadow monster. It wondered how did the monster get so strong. Chapter 1104 - An Easy Win Julian wasughing from the inside, this owner fell into his trap, he himself didn''t expect his acting would be so good, now he just has to win, he just got a free hotel for himself, this hotel is quite good, with proper management, it can bring a lot of revenue. With their conversation recorded, Julian has nothing to worry about, he already has Gengar''s presence cover the whole hotel to find the person behind the CCTV cameras and tie him up so that he won''t delete the footage once the owner lost. Julian knew this owner is shady so he is not going to leave some random dude ying around with the evidence. Owner "What, I epted your offer, If I lose I will hand over this hotel to you, if you lose you will lose your pokemon and 100000 poke dors" Julian "Fine, let''s do this" Julian said with hesitation in his voice, seeing that his opponent was still hesitant while epting the challenge the owner couldn''t be happier, he is sure that he is going to hit the jackpot today. Julian took his position on the battlefield and looked at the owner as he made his way towards the other side of the battlefield as well, once both have taken their position, it was time for the battle. The Owner didn''t waste any time and sent out his pokemon into the battlefield and looked at his opponent. Owner "It''s your turn kid, choose your best pokemon or you will lose" . The Owner said. Julian didn''t say anything and took out a Pokeball and released his pokemon, he could have used his stronger pokemon but he decided to use this owner as a sharpening tool for his pokemon. His Doude entered the battlefield and unsheathed himself revealing his extremely sharp edges, the owner looked at Julian''s pokemon and a glint appeared in his eyes. Seeing that Julian''s pokemon is shiny, he started to have thoughts about selling Doude once hees to its possession, shiny pokemons fetch extremely high prices on the ck market, some of them even cost more than a million dors and a healthy one like Doude will definitely fetch that price in the Owner''s eyes. Owner "This will be a one on one pokemon battle, there are no other rules, you can do whatever you want" The Owner said. Julian "Sure let''s start then" Julian said and his demeanorpletely changed, he didn''t seem to be anxious or hesitant like before, the owner, of course, noticed this but didn''t think much of it. He also sent out his pokemon Krookodile into the battlefield, his Krookodile looked menacingly at Doude and snapped its jaw a few times indicating that it wanted to snap Doude in half, Doude didn''t seem to mind the provocation at all, he is righteous in nature and had pride in his strength, he wouldn''t get provoked by anyone as he believes in his own strength. Owner "Let''s begin then, Krookodile, use Crunch" The Owner made his first move, his Krookodile charged towards Doude with its jaw wide open, dark energy appeared in front of it creating a massive jaw made of dark energy, as the dark jaw got close to Doude and was about to shut down on him, Julian made his move as well. Julian "Dodge and use Sr de" Julianmanded, his Doude suddenly moved to the side and dodged the Crunch, the massive jaw made of dark energy bit down on air and exploded creating a strong shockwave but it didn''t affect Doude, his two crimson des started to glow green and he shed at Krookodile with both his des. The two Sr des hit Krookodile and sent it shooting through the air and crashing in front of the owner, the owner was shocked as he saw this, he panicked and quickly called out for his Krookodile. His Krookodile struggled to get up but it was about to get back to its feet. Julian "End this, Sr de" Julian decided to end it, even though this Krookodile was stronger than his Doude in terms of raw power, Doude''s attacks are faster and more refined, it is a miracle that this Krookodile survived the first two Sr des from Doude. Doude rushed towards Krookodile with all his speed, his separated his body and headed towards Krookodile in a scissor position, Krookodile saw the attacking from both sides and froze on the spot from fear, Doude''s des came in contact with Krookodile''s body and went past each other leaving behind a green light trail making an X on Krookodile''s body. The contact area exploded and Krookodile was sent shooting again and this time it crashed into the owner''s body sending him tumbling as well. Krookodile is out cold and its owner is struggling to move its heavy body from above his body. Owner "YOU IDIOTS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GET IT OFF ME" The owner shouted as he realized that he couldn''t move at all, his goons who were in shock rushed towards the owner and moved Krookodile away, the Owner got back to his feet and looked at his Krookodile and noticed that it is out cold. He then angrily looked at his opponent who seems to be very pleased. Chapter 1144 - The Final Evolution Julian''s time in Lumiose city has been great, he spends most of this time with his fianc¨¦es having fun and a lot of sex, the three of them can''t get their hands off each other. If Julian is not spending his time with his fianc¨¦es, he will be training his pokemons, his Skrelp finally evolved and is now a Dragalge, with his evolving his powers now rivaled his other teammates and now he is no longer worried about not being able topete with other pokemons in Julian''s team who have already reached their final evolution. The only remaining pokemon that needs to evolve in Julian''s team is Snover, since he is new to the team, he needs time to adjust and with his past experience, he still suffers from severe trauma, right now Julian''s main goal is to train him and make him get used to humans around him. Julian needs to make him learn that not all humans are bad, it will take some time but Julian knows he can do it, he is alreadyfortable with Daisy and Chloe. The training has also been going pretty well and Snover is very good at understanding Julian''s training and grew up very fast, with its newfound strength Snover''s confidence is also growing. With things going as he expected, his life is going great, a month passed, and Julian sessfully got Snover''s fear of humans out of him, him growing stronger and stronger every other day helped him a lot and increased his confidence, now he could defend himself and not fear about getting hurt by others. _________________ It is Monday morning, Julian woke up and he received a message from Ang, looks like she is nning to make a move again and this time it will be the final member of Team re admin that Julian wants to conquer, with thest woman under him, Team re''s power structure will bepletely under his hands. So he gave her the confirmation and Ang get to work, this time the admin she will be sending will be Bryony and Celosia, the short purple-haired admin. But the surprise for Julian didn''t end, he received another message and this time it is from Professor Sycamore and he has something that caught Julian''s interest. He decided to visit Sycamore and check this out himself, he say his goodbyes to his two fianc¨¦es who headed of to work and made his way towards Professor Sycamore''sb. When he got there Professor Sycamore''s assistant was already waiting for him, the beautiful blue-haired Sophie. She guided Julian into theb where Professor Sycamore is already waiting for him. Julian "Professor Sycamore, is it true?" Julian asked as he is excited about the thing that Sycamore has with him. Sycamore "Indeed, I have an upgrade file for Porygon, it is a high risk to evolve Proygon again but seeing how well your Porygon is doing, maybe you can find a way" Sycamore said and handed over a drive to Julian, Julian took the drive happily, with his system, he could perfect the code inside this drive and evolve his Porygon again. After discussing this matter a little further, Julian left theb and headed back to his apartment, he then sat down in front of hisptop and uploaded the code in it. Julian ''System, modify the code and perfect it'' Julian ordered, his system started to work as it infiltrated hisptop and started changing the code and perfecting it, it didn''t even take five minutes before it was done, since it has already done this twice, figure out the new code was very easy for it. Seeing that the code is done, he took out Porygon''s Pokeball and plugged it into hisptop, and let his system do the work again. Changes started to take ce on Julian''s screen as he saw the silhouette of Porygon2 changing at a rapid rate. soon the singr body of Porygon split into two, one part being the head itself and the other its body, it lost its legs and grew three limbs like structure, Julian couldn''t see the changes yet but he is eager to see how Porygon looks like. Once the code was fused and Porygon finally evolved, Julian unplugged the Pokeball and called out Porygon, the Porygon that came out lookingpletely different from its previous form. It was not grounded anymore, it was floating in the air, the limbs like structure looks like its hands and a tail, its head ispletely detached from its body and is levitating over its head, it can move 360 degrees. Julian is pleased with the changes in Porygon and the stat change is also massive. Like before he can alter Porygon''s stat to however he wants. The extra fifty points stat buff across the board made it an even dangerous powerhouse in Julian''s Kalos team. But the most surprising change in Porygon is not its physical appearance but its mental state, Julian for the first time saw emotions in Porygon''s eyes, those eyes that looked lifeless are now showing emotions, the emotions in its eyes are mixed with excitement, confusion, and desire. Julian knew that his system has perfected an artificially made pokemon and gave it life, something that contains a newborn soul, this just showed how powerful his system really is. Chapter 1145 - Current Status With things turning out as Julian expected, nothing major happened but he knows that this is the calm before the storm, from what he learned from Ang, Lysander is making huge moves right now, he is putting her workers on extra time, his professors and scientists are also working overtime. Team re is on the move and Julian has already started sabotaging their n, the admins are already making sure that most of Lysander''s objectives fail, but they can only dy the oue, if Lysander keeps failing he will find out that something is wrong in Team re and it won''t take long for him to figure out there are spies in his organization. Julian still couldn''t figure out what Lysander is really after, is he just like any other organization leader, who is after a pokemon that can cause world destruction, or is he any different and thinking of something else. Till now, Julian has nevere across anyone different, even though their goals are very different, they all do the same thing, they go after the most powerful pokemon in their region and try to control them and fail miserably. Julian wondered if Lysander is the same old case of idiot who is mental and delusional or does he have something else in his mind, Julian knows his n, at least the n he has put out there, capture Zygarde and take over the world, make a world that is perfect in his eyes. But Julian also knows that it is not his main n, he has something going on behind the scene and not many people know about it, even the admins he has enved are oblivious to it. Ang is trying her best but she has no sess with it, she did tell him about the admin who knows about Lysander''s n but this admin is a pig as well and has been eyeing Ang from the day she set foot in that organization. Julian thought about it and wondered if Ang should risk it and try to seduce the fat pig but Julian also knows that the fat pig can lie about the information he can provide and Julian doesn''t want to risk Ang''s life by exposing her to the real truth of Lysander as it can put her in danger. Lysander is a psycho, just meeting him once made Julian realize how fucked up he is inside his mind, if Lysander finds out about Ang or even doubts her a little, her life is at risk. And Julian doesn''t want that, even though Ang is not his main girl, she still belongs to him and he will take care of her when she is in trouble, she doesn''t have to risk her life for something that can be taken care of on spot if the problem really arises. Even though Julian doesn''t want the problem itself to show up, he cannot control everything, without knowing what Lysander is nning Julian cannot do anything, if he knew what Lysander was really after, he would have just made his way to their headquarters andpletely crushed them with his Snox. He knows all their hideouts because of the information he received from both Ang and the admins he has under him. He decided to not care about it much and let the girls do what they are doing, everything is going well, the more they dy Team re, the more time Julian has to enjoy his time with his fianc¨¦es. He also knows that Ang is nning to send out thest admin who is on her way here, Julian has to get ready for them, this time he doesn''t have to set a trap as Julian has made sure that whoeveres with thest admin have to do all the work from capturing them to informing Julian. Once everything is done by them, Julian can move in and do his work. _________________ A few weeks passed and Julian got a message from Bryony that she is already here in Lumiose city and she has already captured thest admin and is waiting for Julian to make the move. Julian was surprised by how fast Bryony made her move, from what he learned, Lysander was careful this time and only sent out the admins for this mission to make sure no one notice them, with just two admins on the mission, they will have a very little footprint and both of them didn''t travel together so when they arrived in Lumiose city they won''t have any attention on them. From the day Lysander learned that the man with Kyurem is targeting them, he became really careful, he didn''t want more of his members to be targeted and eliminated by the Kyurem trainer. So he made this n to send only two admins and made sure that they don''t meet each other till they reach Lumiose city where thest Zygarde core signal appeared on their radar. What happened afterward is that Bryony and Celosia met at a hotel room they rented to meet at, Bryony drugged Celosia and has her tied up now. Julian has expected their arrival and now that they are here, it is time for him to do his job, conquer thest admin he needs under him. Chapter 1107 - Dendemille Town Weston is quite happy with Julian''s proposal, if he gets the manager position, he can get this hotel back to its original state and up to times, it might take some time but he will be able to do it. Julian "What do you think?" Julian asked. Weston "I will be happy to be the manager but to get this hotel back to its original state or even better, it will take some time without funds" He said. With how Mantle ran this hotel, it went broke, the customers didn''te back after being treated very rudely by the goons, the hotel received a bad reputation and people stoppeding here, and people who dide here werepletely clueless about the treatment inside this hotel. The reputation of this hotel ispletely in the ditch and it will take a miracle and years to build back its reputation. Julian "Don''t worry about the funds, give me your contact number, you will soon be contacted by one of my men who will take care of the funds, as for the reputation of this hotel, this should fix it" Julian said and removed his mask showing his face to Weston, when Weston looked at the face in front of him, he was shocked, even though he didn''t follow the current events and news properly, he knew about Julian. Julian is the most famous trainer in the whole world and even an uncultured old man like him knows who Julian is.. Weston "Mr. Ju...Julian, I CANT BELIEVE IT!" He eximed. Julian "Yes, I am Julian, start to advertise that this hotel is now owned by me and the old owner sold it to me, hire the best staff for the work. Since this is my hotel, I don''t want there to be a single problem with it, my reputation is at stake" Julian said. Weston "Don''t worry Mr. Julian, I will personally look into everything and make sure that nothing goes unnoticed" Julian "Good, also fix the broken wall on the second floor, I identally destroyed it" Julian informed, Weston was confused by this but didn''t ask. If it is Julian the funds he will hand over should be able to easily fix everything in the hotel and even pay the staff that they are about to hire. Julian "You should get back to work then" He said and turned his attention to the goons, some of them are still unconscious while others are waking up, the ones who woke up noticed Julian looking at them and when they saw his face, all the color in their face drained out turning them pale in fright. They realized that they fucking messed with none other than one of the greatest trainers in the world, Julian. Julian "Now you idiots, get out of here, if I even hear you or your pathetic excuse of boss even step a foot in this hotel, I am going to turn your life into a living hell" Julian coldly uttered these words sending chills down the spine of the goons, they quickly got to their feet and dragged the unconscious goons along with them. The battlefield is once again empty but in ruins, Julian ignored this and decided to return to his room and rest for the day, before that he contacted Jimi and told him that he won a hotel and sent him the details about the hotel. When Jimi received the information, he was ecstatic, he heard that Julian received this magnificent hotel for free, he immediately started to work on the hotel and contacted Weston, with one hotel Jimi decided to branch out and have hotels built under Julian''s name all over the world and conquer another market making him richer than ever. Julian went to sleep and woke up early the next day, he decided to leave and didn''t waste time looking around the hotel, he bid farewell to Weston who seems very busy, and continued down route 15 and headed towards Dendemille town. It took another two days to reach the town and Julian was d that he finally made it. Julian looked at the town in front of him and let out a sigh in relief as he finally arrived, halfway through the route, Julian noticed that the temperature has dropped down, even though he is not affected by the cold, it is still very annoying to sleep in a cold atmosphere, sleeping out in the tent in the cold is very ufortable. He looked at the town in front of him which is covered in snow but the town still seems to be busting with activities, the reason why it''s so cold out here is because of the colossal mountain that this town resides beneath. The massive mountain shadows the whole northeast side of Kalos and Dendemille town seems to be right below where the heaviest snowfall umtes on the mountain. Julian rubbed his hand together to warm them up and continued towards Dendemille town, when he entered the town, he was surprised by the lively atmosphere in the town, during cold you don''t see people walking around in streets smiling andughing, they would prefer to stay inside their homes next to the warmth of the firece. Julian headed deeper into the town and finally found his answer, there seems to be a Pokemon Showcase for the rookie ss being held here. Julian had heard about this Pokemon Showcase from Daisy but never saw it in person, he decided to check it out before he leaves the town. Chapter 1108 - Pokemon Showcase Julian''s interest was piqued by this Pokemon Showcase and wanted to know more about it, from what he had heard from Daisy it''s a mix between a pokemon battle and a pokemon contest, apetition where trainers and pokemons are both the center of the attention, unlike pokemon contest which is mainly focused on pokemons themselves. With this in mind, Julian decided to stay for a while and check out the pokemon showcase, he wasn''t in a hurry to leave at all, the Kalos league is still months away from happening, Julian can enjoy his time in Kalos and check out its beautiful scenery and events like this pokemon showcase. He quickly found himself in a nice hotel and booked himself the best room to stay in this cold atmosphere, he rested in front of the firece and took out hisptop to look at the Pokemon Showcase. From what he got from Daisy, he couldn''t really understand it properly and after that, he never cared about it as he had no interest in it, but now since one of the events is happening in this town he wants to learn more. He looked into the Pokemon Showcase and found many interesting articles about it, winners of the rookieplications from the previous month, winner of the championship from the previous year, very famous people who participate in these Pokemon showcases, all types of articles are disyed on hisptop. Before checking out any of those, he decided to see what this Pokemon Showcase really is to its core, he clicked the very first link which brought him to the wiki page of the Showcase in which he learned about the event itself. He learned that the Showcase is a tournament that is divided into two sses, both of them being the Rookie ss and Master ss, while Rookie ss can be participated by any trainer, Master ss is different, to participate in the master ss, a trainer must have three Princess Key with them. He then looked deeper into it and found out that rookie ss event is divided into two parts, the first one being the Theme Performance in which pokemons and trainer perform in front of a crowd depending on the theme of the event, the theme can be anything, in this round three trainers will be facing off each other and only one can move forward. The second one being Freestyle Performance in which trainers will take the stage along with their pokemon and perform, this round is more like a pokemon contest but it is not mainly focused on pokemon alone but what they do on stage. As Julian read more he understood that the first round is judged by the judges while the second round and the winner of the tournament will be decided by the audience members through voting. Julian was intrigued by the idea of people deciding the winner since it was a fair way to judge but was used very little. But Julian then realized that there seems to be no battling involved in this rookie ss which got him confused, he heard from Daisy that there are pokemon battles but he didn''t see any kind of pokemon battle being mentioned. He looked at the Master ss and found no pokemon battle mentioned at all, he was a little disappointed but he still decided to check it out and see the craze behind this Pokemon Showcase. Pokemon Showcase seems to have a massive following and the winner of the finals seems to be very famous as well, her fame was not less than Chloe who is an international actor by now. The winner of the finals is given the title of the Kalos Queen and she will have to defend her title every year in the finals, every trainer who wants to enter this Showcase has one single goal and that seems to be crowned the Kalos Queen. With this time came fame and money, multiple movies and TV contracts, sponsorships, and many more, no wonder the female trainers taking part in this Showcase are thrilled about it. He put away hisptop after learning what he wanted to learn and waited for the big day, it was not only him but everyone in the town seems to be waiting for the Showcase event. Julian spent his time in Dendemille town enjoying the scenery and eating the delicious hot food that is exclusive to this town, Julian fell in love with them. The waiting soon came to an end as the day of the Showcase arrived, Julian had already booked a VIP room for himself so he can watch the performance in peace and not be bothered by his fans, Julian knows how big of a deal his fans can make in his presence. They might turn the whole event upside down for even a glimpse at him and he didn''t want that to happen. He made his way to the stadium where the Showcase will be held, when he got there the ce was already jam-packed, the whole stadium was decorated and the video of the current Kalos Queen was being yed on the big screen outside the stadium, Julian looked at the pinked hair girl and smiled. In his eyes, she seems to have great chemistry with her pokemon but he is just seeing all these through a screen, to truly know what she is really like, he wanted to see this girl perform in person. Chapter 1148 - The First Battle Julian looked at the young trainer in front of him and felt pity for him, Julian always felt pity for his very first opponent during the league, no matter how good of a trainer they are or how strong of a pokemon they have, they will have less chance of advancing to the top 128. If they were facing some other trainer they would at least have a fighting chance to advance into the top 128 without suffering any major loss but if they are facing Julian in their very first battle, they will lose and they will have to go on and win three continuous battle and that might still not guarantee their ce in the top 128, these people who have three wins and one loss will have to face each other and fill out the remaining spots. Julian watched as the trainer in front of him struggled to take his spot in nervousness, once he finally took his spot the annoyed referee began the battle as soon as he could. Referee "This will be a one vs one pokemon battle, both trainers can choose any pokemon of their choosing, the winner will advance and battle other trainers, trainers with four-nil records will automatically advance to the top 128, trainers with three victories and one loss will battle others with the same record to advance to the top 128, any trainer with more than one loss will be eliminated from the tournament". The Referee exined, hearing the rules, Julian''s opponent started to feel the pressure, he knew that he will have to win the next three rounds so that he can have a chance to advance to the top 128 and get enough credit to ask out the girl of his dream. Referee "Both trainers choose your pokemon". He said. Julian didn''t waste any time and sent out his very first pokemon into the battlefield, his first pokemon to enter the league is Abomasnow, Abomasnow entered the battlefield and roared, he started to beat his chest and spewed out snow out of his mouth, this Abomasnow doesn''t resemble the timid and scared Snover that Julian had rescued. It is now a confident and powerful pokemon that can stand on its own, Julian''s opponent hesitated but couldn''t dy any further, seeing Julian''s choice, the opponent decided to use a fire type pokemon as it will have an advantage over a pokemon like Abomasnow which is four times weaker to fire type attacks. He sent out a Talonme, Julian looked at the Talonme and saw that it was quite well trained but it is no way near Abomasnow strength, it of course has a winning chance if Julian''s opponent is the best trainer in the world but Julian doubts it. Now that both trainers have their pokemon on the battlefield, the referee didn''t fool around and started the battle. Referee "You may begin the battle" He said and waved the gs in his hand. As soon as the referee gave the signal, Julian''s opponent made the move, he was not going to give Julian any time to attack him, he will go down hitting hard and fast. "Use re Blitz". The teenage trainer shouted with a lot of passion and dedication behind it, hearing his order, his Talonme flew high up in the air and dove down at Abomasnow with full speed, its body sparked mes and soon got engulfed by it, the temperature of the mes around its body was pretty high and it also seems to be highly explosive as well. In a matter of a few seconds, Talonme was already very close to Abomasnow and no matter how tough Abomasnow is, a powerful attack like re Blitz will hurt. Julian saw the daring move from his opponent and was impressed but this was also suicidal in Julian''s eyes, he is going to start this league with a bang. Julian "Use Focus Punch" Hearing Julian''smand, Abomasnow started to channel all his power in his right fist and waited for the veryst second till Talonme came in striking distance. As soon as Talonme got a meter away from Abomasnow, he punched, a powerful straight right, his right hand glowed white in color filled with destructive energy. As both moves came in contact, the force that is created shook the whole battlefield, even other battles that were being held in the vicinity were forced to stop as they felt the powerful shockwave wash through the whole battlefield. Everyone both in and out of the battlefield had their attention to the massive explosion that just took ce, a second after, the Talonme could be seen shooting out of the mushroom cloud leaving behind a trail of smoke. The Talonme then crashed right in front of its trainer, knocked out cold, the crowd then burst into cheer and loud apuse, the name of Julian echoed all over the stadium as they cheered for him. As the smoke cleared up, Abomasnow could be seen standing with scratches on his right arm while his whole body is covered in ck marks, they are not cuts or burn marks, they are dust from smoke, the only visible injury is on his hand. Referee "Talonme is unable to battle, Abomasnow wins.. 1-0 in favor of trainer Julian". Chapter 1149 - The League Continues Julian''s opponent is shocked, he thought that he would at least be able to drag this battle for two to three moves but he waspletely wrong, the very first exchange resulted in his loss. He sighed and sent his Talonme back to its Pokeball and left the battlefield, he ns to win the next three battles so he can have a chance to advance to the top 128. Julian also went back to the locker room and waited for his next battle which should be today, he will have toe here again and battle two more times tomorrow before he can make it to the top 128 with a perfect 4-0 record. After a few hours, Julian was called again into the battlefield and he won again with Dragalge using just one Scald. Julian then returned to his apartment where he was greeted by his three beautiful fianc¨¦es who pleasured him for the rest of the night, before and after dinner, it was pure bliss. To this day, there has not been a day or night that these four of them were not having fun, even the security guards sometimes got some enjoyment from their constant fucking, once he even saw Julian fucking a beautiful maid inside their room with their door unlocked, this maides to the apartment for the daily house cleaning, what surprised the guard more was Julian was fucking the maid in front of Chloe, his fianc¨¦e and she seems to be enjoying it. From then the maid also became a frequent visitor, just like today, the regr guard who is guarding the front entrance like usual saw the beautiful brown-headed maid walk into the apartment again, the guard is very jealous of Julian, this man gets to fuck four beautiful women every day but he is also impressed by his stamina. And like always the moans started, they were as loud as ever, maybe even louder as intensity seems to increase every time. The guard only sigh and think of something else to hide his boner _________________________ Another day went by, the second day of the league and Julian once again visited the stadium and had two very easy battles and directly advanced to the top 128. He also kept eyes on other trainers that could possibly put up a challenge for Julian and he did see some, Ash was once again amongst them and Julian could see he has improved a lot this time, his instructions are more precise and he has also learned how to hide one move behind the other, some of his pokemons are also able to master switching moves midway. It is a very hard skill to master, switching a move midway is very hard and Julian has not seen many pokemons who are able to do so, Ash has achieved it with two of his pokemons, one is his Pikachu and the other is his Greninja. Julian didn''t expect Ash''s Greninja to be so good, he had seen it when it was just a Froakie and he recognized its potential but its growth has surprised even Julian. Ash''s Greninja can easilypete with Julian''s pokemon and now Julian is excited to see how things go, he wants to battle Ash but to do that, Ash will have to win every battle till they meet, it can be at the finals or it can be earlier in the tournament. And Julian will be waiting for it, Ash is not the only one who has caught Julian''s attention during this time period, there is also in, the trainer who he battled at Sycamore''sb, this young trainer also seems to be working for Lysander but to Julian, he seems innocent. There is also another trainer that caught Julian''s attention and it is a middle-aged man who seems to specialize in dragon type pokemons, Julian is looking forward to battling this man as well, there are also other trainers who caught Julian''s attention but they are clearly hiding their strength so Julian doesn''t have an urate reading over them but he knows that they are strong as well. With still three days left for the top 128 to start, Julian had nothing to do but continue watching the tournament, there are still some trainers that have not had four battles and Julian wants to see if there are any other trainers that he should keep an eye for. His fianc¨¦es are busy with their work so they are currently not home, Julian himself made his way to the stadium and watched all the battles that are still to take ce. He didn''t care about trainers who have a loss in their record because they couldn''t win against theirpetition, they will fail in the future, his interest is with the ones who still have their record intact and are still holding back. Some of them still have not finished battling so there is still a lot of battles to watch. Chapter 1111 - End Of Showcase With the freestyle round beginning Julian noticed the shift in the behavior of the audience, they were clearly waiting for this round. He watched as the man in blue came back on the stage with his Klefki which has the pretty key on it, the man in blue started to introduce the rules of the freestyle to the audience. Once he was done he introduced the performers, all these performers passed through the theme style round and now facing off against each other and stand out in front of the massive audience that is going to judge them. The round soon began and it started with three performers just like before but this time there is no theme, no cooking, only trainers and their pokemons on stage showing off their moves and trying to please the crowd. Julian watched as all three performers tried to one-up each other by making their pokemons use moves in extravagant ways which made them look very beautiful and unique. The time allocated ended and they were sent back, the next batch entered and put on a great performance as well, Julian watched Serena and wondered if she is any good as Palermo has her eyes on her. To his surprise Julian felt that Serena performed the best out of all of them, the freestyle round soon came to an end and all performers stood on the stage waiting in anticipation for the votes to fill in. The audience picked up a light stick and input the color representing a performer, the light sticks in the audience were glowing brightly creating a beautiful scene, then the light escaped those light sticks in the shape of light fragments and traveled towards the stage. Julian noticed that every performer was holding a key simr to the one around Klefki, the colorful light fragments headed towards the matching key color filling the ruby in the key that the performers were holding. Behind them the massive screen disyed the votes as they filled in, every performer were holding their breath as they wanted to win this key, soon the voting ended and the winner came out to be Serena as the key she was holding was glowing brightly as light fragments filled it to the brim. She seems to be in shock as she couldn''t believe she just won, the crowd burst into cheer as the spotlight fell on her. Finally, a big smile appeared on her face as she took to the air with a big excited jump. The host in blue Monsieur Pierre announced her as the winner of this event. Julian noticed the smile on her face and smiled as well, it reminded him of the very first badge he won in Kanto. That first badge will always be the special one. Julian "This must be her first one" He said with a smile. Palermo "Indeed, she didn''t do too good on her first performance but I could see that she is determined to win in the future, a quality I like to look for in young uing performers. But now I know I want to mentor her, look at that smile, it will look great on the big screen" She said Julian "Well, that smile is special, winning her very first key, nothing will stop it unless she wins the whole thing of course" He said. Palermo "Why do you think so" She asked. Julian "Well I still remember the very first gym badge I won, though I was not as expressive as her, the moment I shared with my Chimchar at that time was special and I will never forget it, it must be the same for her, sharing the stage with her pokemons and winning the very first key" Palermo understood what Julian said and nodded her head, she had forgotten about her first win as it has been a long time but she still remembers the moment very clearly, her rapidly beating heart, the sound of people cheering for her, though time took its toll and she forgot about the excitement she felt that day but she still remembers it clearly. The event soon came to an end and Julian bid his farewell to Palermo, she gave him her business card and told him to contact her if there is anything he wants to discuss, he also did the same and they went their own ways. Julian went back to his hotel and got ready to hit the road again, he had enough entertainment, and now its time for him to reach Anistar city and challenge the Anistar gym. The next day Julian woke up early and left Dendemille town and entered route 17, his traveling speed slowed down as the road in front of him is covered with snow and it will be hard for him to ride a bike through it. The further he traveled down route 17 the harder it got for him to use his bike, he had no choice but to put it away and use his feet as it felt much easier. The snow was so thick that he was keen deep in the show while walking, luckily for Julian he has endless stamina and strength to carry on, on his feet. After continuing for an hour, he stopped and decided to camp for the day, he still has a long way to go as he will have to cross a mountain to reach Anistar city, though he likes to travel on wheels and feet he knew he won''t be able to reach Anistar city within two weeks if he continues like this. He decided to use Kyurem for traveling for the next few days. Chapter 1151 - The Knockouts (1) Julian entered the battlefield as he heard his name being called by the announcer, as soon as he entered the battlefield, the boos turned into cheer as they saw Julian, his fans went crazy like always, people were shouting out of their lungs cheering him. The scene burst into a never-ending cheer, Julian smiled and waved back at the crowd and made his way towards his position, he looked at his opponent and felt pity, he heard how the people booed his opponent for no reason but he doesn''t have the power to change people''s mind unless he asks his Gengar to perform mass hypnosis on these people and with how strong Gengar has gotten, it won''t be difficult for him. The crowd doesn''t seem to be slowing down at all, they kept on cheering for Julian, his name engulfed the whole city, that''s how loud the crowd was. The referee took his spot on the battlefield, wearing an official league uniform, he had a red and a blue g in both of his hands, he then looked at both trainers and began to exin the rules of the battle. Referee "This battle will be a two vs two pokemon battle, both trainers are allowed to switch pokemon in the middle of the battle, the trainer with no pokemon at the end of the battle will lose and get eliminated from the tournament while the winner will advance to the next stage. Am I clear?" Getting a nod from both parties, the referee continued. Referee "Both trainers, choose your pokemon". The referee called. Julian decided to go first and sent out his witzer into the battlefield, seeing Julian''s witzer, the crowd got excited and cheered for him as well, trainers who have a witzer with them also felt proud that Julian is using the same pokemon they own. Seeing Julian''s choice, his opponent made a smart decision and sent out a grass-type pokemon, the pokemon he sent out is a Carnivine, seeing his choice surprised Julian because Carnivine is really not preferred by any trainers because of their nature and how hard it is to train them. They are also very vicious, if someone gets trapped inside its mouth, it can lead to severe damage from acid and poison which is stored inside its mouth and if trapped inside for long, it will lead to death. Many trainers avoid this pokemon but when ites to performance, this pokemon is very good, it has an all-around stat with very good Attack and Special attack, both of its defenses are good and with the ability Levitate, it ispletely immune to Ground-type moves. If Julian had encountered one in the wild, he would not hesitate to catch one as he would like the challenge of training such a pokemon. Now he is a little impressed by his opponent, to train a Carnivine to this level is very good, Julian can see that it has been well trained and raised but it doesn''t meet the gold standard that Julian looks for in an opponent. With both pokemons on the battlefield, the referee wasted very little time and raised both gs up in the air, and called for the battle to begin. Referee "Let the battle being" With the referee''s call, Julian''s opponent John made his move, he knows that waiting for Julian to make a move is not a wise decision but attacking first has not been useful against his either. John "Carnivine, use Leaf Tornado" John called for a special attack from the very beginning so that he can drag this battle a little further than possible, the Carnivine opened its mouth wide open and shot numerous leaves out of it, these leaves started to spin and form a massive tornado. The Carnivine then mmed the tornado towards witzer. Julian "witzer, use Water Pulse" Julian ordered. witzer snapped open his massive w which caused a ripple, then a pulsing ball made of water energy started to form between the w''s mouth, the ball started to spin rapidly creating a humming sound. As the tornado reached halfway through the battlefield, witzer aimed directly at Carnivine and shot the Water Pulse, the Water Pulse zoomed through the air splitting the wind and hitting the iing Leaf Tornado, the Water Pulse made contact with the tornado and went right through it creating a hole whichpletely destroyed the tornado. The Water Pulse then continued towards Carnivine still filled with power. John "Quick, dodge" John ordered and called for a dodge, Carnivine saw the iing attack and moved to the side dodging the Water Pulse by an inch. Julian "End it, Scald" Julian called and without wasting any time, witzer hot a scalding hot stream of water at Carnivine, the speed of this Scald is much faster than the Water Pulse. Carnivine saw the iing attack and moved to the side again but this time there is no escaping it, witzer''s eyes are locked onto it, as Carnivine moved, witzer moved while continuing to use Scald. The Scald shed Carnivine like a water de and sent it flying through the air and was tossed out of the battlefield, the referee rushed close to the Carnivine and checked it. Referee "Carnivine is unable to battle, witzer wins"/ The Referee called for the result as he confirmed that Carnivine was knocked out. Chapter 1152 - The Knockouts (2) With John''s first pokemon out of the battle, he only has one pokemon left in his team and he has to be careful with his next choice, even though he feels that no matter what his choice it won''t change the oue of this battle, he is willing to give it a try and see how it goes. He sent his Carnivine back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield, his ace, his Chesnaught. The giant pokemon entered the battlefield and looked at the witzer in front of it, it didn''t know how the previous battle went but seeing that the opponent ispletely unharmed, the Chesnaught thought that this is the final round. Julian looked at the Chesnaught and didn''t think much of it, even though it is much better than an average pokemon, it doesn''t stand out amongst the other Chesnaught. The referee once again waved off the gs and started the battle. Julian "Use Water Pulse" Julian ordered, he wanted to test what this Chesnaught has in store for him, hearing hismand witzer aimed his w at the Chesnaught and shot a powerful Water Pulse at it, the Water Pulse zoomed through the air locked onto its target. John "Use Spiky Shield" John ordered. Chesnaught turned its back at the Water Pulse and activated Spiky Shield, a green aura covered its back forming a shield covered in long vicious spikes. The Water Pulse crashed into the Spiky Shield and shattered but the Spiky Shield is still intact. Julian was surprised but continued with his attack, he called for a Scald which will be much more effective against a grass-type move because of its burning effect. witzer aimed and shot a powerful stream of hot water at Chesnaught, Chesnaught continued to face its back towards witzer, the Scald made contact with the Spiky Shield and created a powerful st. The Scald started to burn through the energy shield, one of the spikes which are directly under the pressure of the Scald shattered causing cracks to spread across the whole shield. The shield then suddenly shattered and the Scald went through and hit the hard shell of Chesnaught, though the Scald didn''t cause too much damage because of Chesnaught''s shield, the debuff of the Scald took effect and Chesnaught started to get burned. mes red up around Chesnaught''s body and burned it bringing the giant to its knee. Now that it is vulnerable, Julian decided to take this chance and end this battle. Julian "Finish this, Crab Hammer" With Julian''s call, witzer made its move and shot towards the Chesnaught at full speed, his massive w glowed as it charged up with energy. John "Quick get up and use Hammer Arm" John made a quick decision and called for a Hammer Arm, the Chesnaught turned around and swung at witzer with full power, both attacks collided creating a powerful shockwave. The very next second Chesnaught could be seen rolling out of the smoke at extreme speed, it rolled multiple times cracking the ground beneath and stopped right out of the battlefield, the referee rushed towards the Chesnaught. Once the referee checked on the Chesnaught, he called the result. Referee "Chesnaught is unable to battle, the winner of this battle is trainer Julian" Once the referee called out the result, the crowd burst into another loud cheer in Julian''s favor, they didn''t hold back at all, they became louder and louder as they cheered for Julian and his win. His opponent John didn''t feel anything, at the end of the day, this is what he expected, he never thought he would win this battle, and since this battle went as he expected he wasn''t disappointed. He was just sad that this will be the end of his journey here in the league. With the results out, Julian has no reason to stay behind, he called his pokemon back and walked out of the battlefield while his fans still continued to cheer for him. Julian then headed towards the VIP section and watched the battles that took ce after him, during the battle, he took notice of a particr trainer that stood out a lotpared to others, this trainer is wearing a ck hooded jacket just like Julian''s and the choice of his pokemons were simr to the ones Julian had used before. At first, he didn''t think much but he soon noticed something, this person was trying to imitate him, even though it was not urate to his style, it was pretty close. Julian wondered who this person is and what is his purpose to imitate him, is he just a big fan obsessed with Julian or does he have something else to aplish. By now not many people have noticed this trainer at all, his ace seems to be a very powerful Infernape, he also has a Garchomp and a Tyranitar with him. Julian decided to watch this person a little more before he takes an action against him, after the very first round of the top 128 ended, Julian decided it was time to return to his apartment Julian left the stadium as he has nothing left to do here, he has no battles today, his next battle will be the day after tomorrow after all other trainers have had their battle. Julian returned to his apartment where he was greeted by Chloe who arrived early, Daisy and Cynthia were busy with their work so they couldn''t make it, having nothing else to do here as well, the two started to get it on. Chloe''s moan could be heard all over the room and it also leaked out of their walls. Julian also maintained a close watch on the remaining of the Top 128 on the second day, he saw Ash advancing to the top 64 along with the trainers that Julian thought would end up in the higher rankings. Chapter 1114 - Anistar City Julian entered Anistar city and his mood lit up as the atmosphere here in Anistar city was quite good, it cheered him up. People living here look quite happy, even those office workers have a smile on their face as they made their way to their office, Julian was extremely pleased with the state of Anistar city, the order in this city is quite good. He has seen good cities before but Anistar is definitely one of the best he has seen, he didn''t waste time looking around and found an expensive hotel to stay at. Like always the hotel staff was excited to find out that The Julian is staying in their hotel but none of them disturbed him, no matter how big of a fan they are they need to follow the hotel''s rules and regtions. Julian was allowed to have a peaceful night in his hotel room without any disturbance, after traveling through the showy route for a few days, it was exhausting to his mind so the long rest came as a gift. The next day he woke up and did his usual routine, fed his pokemon, cleaned after himself, and headed out, his first destination, the sundial is a world-famous attraction. And recent research has proved that the sundial is simr to a massive Mega Stone, it releases the same energy as a Mega Stone. Julian wondered what kind of pokemon would need such a massive Mega Stone if it is really a Mega Stone. When he arrived there, he noticed that there is already a huge crowd present near the sundial, being a very famous tourist attraction it brought a lot of eyes towards it. Not only tourists but many famous researchers and pokemon experts came to study the sundial and from all the research that has been done, the sundial still seems to be a mystery, the only thing known about the sundial is that it makes Mega stone and Keystone react but there seem to be no changes. Further research showed that the sundial is just like a massive mega stone. Julian is more curious about this sundial than anything here in Anistar City, he approached the sundial and observed its surroundings to see if there are any physical differences present in the atmosphere around it. As he got closer to the sundial, he could feel the difference in the air, the energy around the sundial was much more vibrant than any other location in the city, he could also recognize the energying from the sundial was very simr to his Mega Stones. The energy from it was more potent than even his rarest Mega Stones. He stood in front of the sundial and carefully observed it, since the sundial is not allowed to be touched, people can only look at it from behind the barricade. The sundial is shaped like a jagged spearhead with a hole in the middle, there also seems to be arc-like structures attached to the massive pinkish-purple crystal. Julian really wants to examine the sundial up close but now is not the time, he will have to do it from where he is standing. He extended his Omniforce towards the Sundial and met it, as soon as he did he felt his Omniforce feeding on the energy emitted by the Sundial, it was not actually feeding but bing part of his Omniforce, as if it was returning to where it belongs. He retraced his Omniforce as he didn''t want to break this famousndmark of Kalos, he felt that if he continued the massive crystal will lose all its charm and turn into dust. He also confirmed that this is a massive Mega Stone, and unlike his prediction of this Sundial being the part of the meteor that fell in Hoenn waspletely wrong. Even though this thing came to this world along with the meteor, this thing right in front of him is the real deal, the energy he felt from this sundial is much more potent than the whole meteor below Hoenn. It was clear that the meteor had absorbed the energy from this massive crystal and created those smaller crystals which in fact were then transformed into Mega Stones and Keystones. Julian realized that this sundial has lost most of its power as it was all absorbed by that meteor which led to the current world-changing, as for the sundial itself, it''s just the dim-down version of its previous self before it fell into this world. This discovery created more questions for Julian, he wondered where this sundial came from, is there another home to this sundial? are there pokemons that can use this sundial to Mega evolve? So many questions and no one to answer, Julian knows there will be a day when he will find out but now is not the time. He decided to leave and check out other stuff before challenging the gym, he also has a hostage with him that he needs to question. Chapter 1154 - The Knockouts (4) The big buff dude looked at his opponent who just entered the battlefield and smirked, he pitied this man for being one of his victims. He decided to embarrass this man and send him back to his mom where he can cry and suck on her tits. "I don''t want to be an asshole but dude, I am going to destroy you and show these people how strong I am,st time I didn''t win the league but this time I am going to dominate everyone and that includes Julian as well, you will just be a stepping stone in my path". The big buff dude dered but the man in the ck jacket didn''t say anything, he just stood there with no reaction. Seeing that both trainers are on the battlefield, the referee didn''t waste any time and started to battle but before that, he exined the rules of the battle. Just like every battle, this will be a two vs two pokemon battle, the winner will advance to the top 32 while the loser will be eliminated since this is the knockout round. The big buff dude whoes name is Titus justughed as he heard the rules, even though it''s the same as before, he couldn''t help but think about advancing forward and winning the whole thing and then go on to challenge the champion and take her ce. The guy in ck, Julio, didn''t say and word and continued to stand still in his position, the referee then called for both of them to send out their pokemons so that the battle can begin. Titus went first and sent out a massive Aggron to the battlefield, the Aggron entered the battlefield and shook everyone to their core with its powerful roar, then the crowd looked at the guy in the ck jacket, Julio to send out his pokemon, as they waited in anticipation, Julio slowly pulled out his Pokeball and sent out his first pokemon into the battlefield as well. Julian had seen this pokemon before, it''s a Tyranitar that Julio had used before, though this Tyranitar is not as big as Julian''s it still gives off a very powerful and intimidating aura. Titus "Hahahaha, I see, you want to go head to head with my Aggron, too bad, my Aggron is the strongest pokemon every, you are out of luck boy" He said and continued tough while his opponent had no response for him, the referee then looked at both trainers and asked them if they are ready for battle, Titus yelled out loud that he is ready while Julio just nodded his head. With this, the battle started with the wave of the gs in the referee''s hand. Titus "Aggron, use Tackle" He said. He wanted to check out his opponent''s pokemon strength before he finishes it off in style. Julio "Counter with Tackle" The man in the ck jacket said with an ominous voice, hearing his voice would send a chill down anyone''s spine, luckily no one was near him to listen to his voice carefully. Aggron first charged at Tyranitar at full speed, each of its steps caused the ground to quiver but as soon as the Tyranitar heard its order, it also charged towards the Aggron. With Tyranitar also joining the charge, the ground shook even more, once both pokemons made contact, they shed and locked onto each other with their hands and it became a test of strength challenge. Titus was ready for this as he had a big smile on his face but this smile soon disappeared because he saw his Aggron being pushed back by the Tyranitar. Julian who was keeping an eye on the battle was not surprised by this oue at all, Tyranitars are genuinely a lot stronger than Aggrons, the field where Aggron has an advantage over Tyranitars is its defense department, it can tank hits a lot better than Tyranitars. The smile on Titus''s face slowly disappeared and turned into a frown as he saw his Aggron gets pushed back and then pressed down on the ground as it went on its knees, its arms were shaking as it couldn''t handle Tyranitar''s strength at all. Titus "Use sh Canon" Seeing that his Aggron might get pinned to the ground, Titus knew that it was time for him to retaliate so his Aggron doesn''t end up in such a state, his Aggron looked straight into the fierce eyes of the Tyranitar and opened its mouth wide open to hit it with a point ck sh Canon. Julio "Dark Pulse" But before Aggron could even make the attack Julio called out a move to counter, Tyranitar also opened its jaws wide open and sted a powerful Dark Pulse down at Aggron''s mouth. Aggron also shot the sh Canon at the same time, as the two moves collided with each other at Point ck range, the energy that it created was shocking, the shockwave was so powerful and fast that the stadium''s energy shield got activated and protected the audience from getting hit by it. A massive mushroom cloud formed in the middle of the battlefield and cracks could be seen spreading around it. Everyone in the audience cheered after seeing this, they didn''t expect they would see such a power-packed battle in the very first round and now they are waiting patiently for the mushroom cloud to clear up to see who the winner of that exchange is. Chapter 1116 - Hunter J Speaks Hunter J started to speak, she just wants to go to sleep and not have nightmares again. Hunter J "I was hired by Team re to capture the Zygarde core, the price was 100 million poke dors, it was quite a big offer so I decided to take it, who would have thought that a simple track and capture will put me in such danger" She said. Julian "It''s those idiots again" Julian said as he thought about Team re, he really didn''t care about Team re as he already knows about the ins and outs of the organization as he has half of its powers under his control, he didn''t expect them to hire Hunter J for their dirty work. Julian "I will take care of them, What I am more interested, is the underworld, tell me about them" Hunter J "The underworld? Don''t tell me you are nning to mess with them?" She asked. Julian "Sure, why not, they have been interfering with my things and I am sure they wille forward to cause trouble sooner orter" Hunter J "You are an idiot if you think you alone can take on the Underworld, they are not just an organization, they are an entire nation, just a word from them and they can eradicate organizations like Team re in an instant. My advice to you is not cross paths with them, you will get burnt" She warned him. Julian "From your warning, they really sound like a big deal, what do they have? legendary pokemon, a massive army, world-ending weapons?" Hunter J "Yes, they have them all, legendary pokemon, a massive army, world-ending weapons, and trainers more powerful than any champions, like I said, the underworld is not just an organization they are a nation itself, a goliath so big that very few have seen its tip" Julian "So where do you belong inside this goliath?" He asked. Hunter J "I am just an employee there, I sell pokemons in the underworld market and they make sure to keep me and my assets protected" She said. Julian "So you know nothing about the underworld?" Hunter J "I know nothing, everyone who has entered the underworld just knows that the whole thing works just like a country, they have their own system, ownws, and rules, no one knows who really runs the whole operation, there are separate sectors and each sector is ruled by different parts, this web of control is spread so far and wide that no one knows where is the top and where is the bottom of their influence. Trying to understand the underworld will just make you lost in it" She said. By now Julian realized that he won''t be getting much from Hunter J about the underworld, he also realized that he would not get anything about the underworld from anywhere, the people behind the underworld are hiding behind a massive web of systems that will take years to uncover. He is not someone who will go out of his way to figure out what is going on, he would rather let ite to him, no matter how big and powerful the underworld really is, he is still the behemoth that has the most power, all their nning will mean nothing until he stands in front of them with his own army of overpowered pokemons. Julian "I think I am done, you can go to sleep" Julian said. Hearing Julian saying that she can sleep, she felt a sigh of relief, even though she didn''t trust him she couldn''t help but close her eyes, she instantly fell asleep. Julian "Take her back and let her sleep now, just keep her imprisoned and fed, don''t do anything else" Julian said. This time he was not letting her go, if he let go of her again he knows she will escape again, this time Julian decided to imprison her himself, and Gengar is clearly a better warden than someone in a prison. In her sleep, she was dragged back to the shadow prison where she will spend the rest of her life until Julian decides to let her go. Once Hunter J disappeared from his sight, he went to sleep, he didn''t bother with anything for the day as he thought about the current situation. Everything about Team re is under his control, all their moves are being monitored except Lysander, the man seems to be hard to keep an eye on, he found out that even the admin closest to him doesn''t know much about him. This was a problem but he isn''t worried about it, for Lysander to make a big decision he needs the whole Team re to get involved and if he does that Julian will find out. Julian then thought about the underworld and how Hunter J warned him about it, he knew that the underworld is making some moves right now but he has no idea what they are on about. If what Hunter J said about the underworld is true then the world is really fucked. War is upon the world and one thing that Julian knows better than anyone is war, he knows no matter how powerful he is, he won''t be able to change the course of the war single-handedly, he can of course dominate one part of the battlefield but what about the others, there will be needless death if this war happens. He decided to wait and if this war really happens, Julian won''t wait about till needless deaths take ce, he will barge into the underworld and cause chaos in there. Chapter 1117 - Anistar Gym Knowing what the future might hold, Julian felt a little mentally exhausted, he has been seeing the signs of this war slowly brewing even though he doesn''t want to believe in it. Ever since he became the champion he realized that the league is not just for trainers to participate and be the champion, every trainer is a potential soldier that can participate in the war if it happens. It was one massive fucked up scenario that disguised itself as a grandputation but Julian wasn''t bothered by it, all this scenario depends on one factor and that is if the war happens. And from what Julian has gathered until now through his fianc¨¦e who works for the league is that it''s a very gray area and no one is certain, the underworld is very quiet right now and the league has no idea what they are nning. Julian sighed and closed his eyes, he didn''t want to bother with it right now. The next morning he woke up, did his usual routine, fed his pokemon, went out and trained them, and returned to his hotel room, right now his main focus is on the current gym he will be challenging. Anistar city gym will be the seventh gym he will be challenging and he is looking forward to it, though this gym is like any other regr gym sometimes the gym leader is known to change up her battle style. She will switch from a regr battle format to a double battle style format, knowing that he might be having a double battle he decided to look into the gym leader and her pokemons. Julian searched the inte and soon found out all the things present on Anistar gym and its gym leader Olympia, Olympia seems to be a very strong trainer who had her fair share of fame when she was an active participant in the league. She has even battled against the elite four of her time and won but fell short of defeating the champion of that time, she also seems to have had a very grand rivalry against the current champion of Kalos as well. He then looked into her pokemons and soon found out what he was looking for, the pokemons that she uses frequently are Sigilyph, Slowking, and Meowstic. Julian didn''t find anything special about these pokemons but he also knows that it really doesn''t matter, if Olympia is really the trainer she is on paper, it won''t matter what type of pokemon she is using but it would help Julian figure out her methods if she had used specific pokemons with specific abilities. Most powerful trainers do this, they have an ace and their ace has a unique ability that helps them exceed at what they do. Knowing this, Julian knew that Olympia might be a weird opponent to battle but he is looking forward to it. If he is battling Olympia in a regr battle he will be battling her three frequently used pokemons but if it''s a double battle she will be using her two Meowstic, one male and the other female. The thing about the dual battle is that their battle style will be unpredictable at the start and with pokemon of the same species they might have a special connection that might make them exceptional at these dual battles. Knowing what to expect from this uing battle, Julian started to think about his options and what he might do, one thing he is certain about is using his Charmeleon as he needs a battle as he has not had one official battle at all, and if it''s a dual battle, he needs to figure out a partner for his Charmeleon. After giving it some thought he went with Floette as she has some support moves that can help Charmeleon power up in the middle of the battle. With things set in motion Julian got busy again, the next day he visited the nearest pokemon park and started training with Charmeleon and Floette and build up their synergy andmunication between them, how to position themselves on the battlefield, how to assist each other, how to predict their opponent''s movement and make sure to keep position which will be advantageous to their partner. It was more of a team-building exercise between them than normal training that they usually go through, Julian focused on double battle because he knows he can handle a normal battle against any opponent with his current team easily. A double battle on the other hand will prove some difficulties. The training went on for a few days before Julian finally decided it was time for him to challenge the Anistar city gym, he made his way towards the gym confident about his next victory. When he arrived in front of the Anistar gym he was surprised to see how it looked, it was very different from any other gym he has been to before, it was a massive dome-shaped ss building that looked more than a observatory than a pokemon gym, it also had massive golden arcs going around it like moons around a. The only thing that would make someone think of this building as a pokemon gym is the gym symbol at its gate. After taking in the mesmerizing look of the gym, Julian entered the gym with a smile on his face, he is eager for his seventh gym battle. Chapter 1118 - Olympia As Julian entered through the entrance of Anistar gym, he was greeted by a massive garden filled with weird rocks and star-shaped objects, some of them are shaped likes and sr bodies, by now it is very clear to Julian that the gym leader of Anistar city is really intos and stars. He had read about her being an astrologer who readss and stars to view the happening of the future, even though Julian was not a believer in astrology in his past life, he is open to the idea of it right now. He is someone who is living his second life and he also knows that everything in the universe is perfectly in sync with each other, and also how this universe is filled with weird and magical shit Julian won''t be surprised if the gym leader of Anistar can actually predict the future. He took his time and looked around theary statues and finally entered the Anistar gym, the inside of the gym was also something Julian had not expected. He noticed gears spinnings all over the wall making it look quite magnificent, whoever designed this mechanism seems to have put a lot of thought into it, he noticed that the stars,, and the sun are moving in sync with real-world time meaning everything here on the walls of this gym is in sync with its real-world counterpart. Right now Julian is nothing but impressed, as he was looking around a young woman in ck start dress walked towards him, Julian noticed the woman and looked at her, the woman approached Julian and bowed at him. "Wee challenger, Miss Olympia is expecting you". The woman said and guided Julian towards the battlefield, Julian didn''t waste any time and followed the woman to the battlefield, on his way there he noticed that every and gear is connected and heading towards the battlefield. When he entered the battlefield he noticed a massive mechanism high above the ceiling which seems to be running the whole mechanism, this mechanism looked like a massive universal clock which has gxy-like objects revolving around it. Julian wondered how much money this whole architecture must have cost to make as such an intricate and urate mechanism cannot be just made by anyone, the calction that must have gone into it must have taken years. As he marveled at the architecture he also noticed a tall woman with purple hair wearing a ck dress and a stary cape with star-like essories all over her body, she is none other than the gym leader of Anistar city gym Olympia. Both of them looked at each other trying to read each other, Olympia looked at her current challenger and tried to read him, as she did she realized she couldn''t see through her opponent at all. From birth she has had a gift of looking into people and figuring out their destiny, whether it was good or bad, she could see them all but for the first time in her life, her ability to see seems to be out of reach. She is confused and shocked as this is somethingpletely new to her, as she tried to figure out what is happening she realized something. Olympia "IT''S YOU!" She eximed as she looked at Julian while pointing at him. Julian was confused by Olympia''s sudden outburst at him, he even looked behind him to confirm that she was pointing at him. Julian "Me?" Julian asked while pointing at himself, he then looked at the woman who brought him here to confirm but she seems as confused as him. Olympia "Ky, leave us alone" Olympia seems to have calmed down and finally told the woman who brought Julian here to leave, the woman didn''t question much, she just nodded and left leaving Julian and Olympia alone. Julian was confused about the current situation but he was also interested in finding out what is really happening here, he removed his mask to reveal his identity so that Olympia is cleared of her misunderstanding if there is any but he didn''t expect the reaction he got from Olympia. She wasn''t even bothered by his real identity, she didn''t show any changes on his face when she saw Julian''s real face, she had more of a shocked face when they first made eye contact. Olympia didn''t stop staring at Julian but she did start to approach him, once she got right next to him she tried to see through him once again but it was useless, she felt like she is seeing into an endless void that has no end to it. Olympia "I always wondered why did things change all of a sudden, now I know it is because of you" She said. Julian was surprised by hearing her. Julian "What did I do? What changed?" He asked. Olympia "Before I could see things and their oue, every major disaster that is toe and its oue, I could see them all but things changed all of a sudden. From that day I could only see theing disaster, I couldn''t see some of the oues at all, and every time I tried to look deeper into it, I would always find myself trapped in an endless void just like how when I look at you. You are the reason behind the endless void, you are the only answer to the disasters and only you can cause an oue to these disasters, whether it is good or bad" She said. Julian of course knew what she is talking about, he suddenly came into this world and changed everything that was to happen in this world, he became the main character and him being the unique thing he is, Olympia of course couldn''t use her gift on anything rted to him. Chapter 1119 - Julian Vs Olympia (1) Julian got curious about Olympia''s ability and wondered what is her most recent vision. Julian "So what''s thetest disaster that you have seen?" Julian didn''t beat it around the bushes and asked her. Olympia "The most recent disaster is rted to something massive, the whole world might be affected and not just Kalos but I don''t know the oue, only you can decide how it turns out" Julian "Do you know what causes the disaster?" Olympia "It is not something that breaths, it must be some kind of weapon" She said. Hearing this Julian suspected the weapon that was involved in the war 3000 years ago to reappear again and cause problems, knowing what the weapon is capable of Julian knew that it has to be watched and kept away from Team re''s hands. Julian "I see but I don''t know what to do about it, I would rather have my gym battle right now" Julian said and he is telling the truth, he doesn''t know what to do right now, he has his eyes on Team re and there doesn''t seem to be any major moves from their side so Julian is not worried, he is rather more interested in the battle he is about to have. Olympia looked at Julian for a few seconds before nodding her head, she walked towards the other side of the battlefield and took her position, Julian also did the same and stood on the other side waiting for Olympia to start the battle. Suddenly the woman who brought Julian here walked in wearing a referee outfit, Julian checked out her and was surprised by how good a woman looks in a referee outfit, tight t-shirt showing off her breast, short ck hot pants showing off her fair thighs. The referee noticed Julian''s gaze and was surprised to see who the challenger actually was, she became a little proud that Julian was staring at her ass but too back for her, she won''t be getting that D, he is too interested in the battle right now and he will soon forget about her. The referee got back to her sense and quickly went back to her work, she looked at Olympia to ask what kind of battle this will be, Olympia looked at the referee and showed two fingers to her. The referee nodded and began to speak. Referee "This battle will be a double battle, both trainers will be using two pokemon at the same time, the battle will end once both pokemon on a trainer''s side loses" She started to exin the rules, once she was done she looked at both the trainers and continued. Referee "Both trainers may choose their pokemons" With those words, Olympia didn''t waste any more time and sent out her pokemons, she sent out her two Meowstic, one male and one female. The male Meowstic is blue fur with white stripes around its tail, limbs, and ears, while the female Meowstic is white in color with a ssh of blue around its, limbs, neck, head, and tail. Julian looked at the two Meowstics on the battlefield and could tell that these two already have great chemistry together as they are already mimicking each other. Julian also sent out his pokemons as he wanted to get this battle started, he sent out his Charmeleon and Floette into the battlefield, he expects his Charmeleon to evolve again as he has reached his limit. As for Floette, Julian ns to evolve her after this battle, he feels she needs one more battle before evolving, pokemons that evolve from an external object are the best pokemon to train in his eyes because they don''t have to be forced to evolve and can reach their full potential whenever they want. Floette and Charmeleon took the battlefield and stared at their opponent, the two Meowstics look small in front of Charmeleon''s massive size but they don''t seem intimidated. Referee "Are both trainers ready?" She asks and looks at both trainers once again, after she gets an ok from both trainers, she waves her gs and begins the battle. Referee "You may begin the battle" As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Julian made the move, being defensive against psychic-type pokemon is never a good option as they can do massive damage at the very beginning of the battle if they want to. It''s better to be on the offensive against psychic-type pokemons from the very beginning. Julian "Floette, use Magical Lead. Charmeleon, use Fire Fang" His Floette floated up in the air and aimed her flower at the female Meowstic and used Magical Leaf, Charmeleon followed her attack and spewed out mes from his mouth and charged right behind the Magical Leaf. Since the target of the Magical Leaf is the female Meowstic, Olympia quickly followed up with a call to counter Julian. Olympia "Use Light Screen, then use Psychic" The male Meowstic came forward and shielded the female Meowstic and used Light Screen, the Magical Leaf hit the Light Screen and passed through it but its power was reduced to half. The female Meowstic who is standing behind the male suddenly started to glow pinkish-purple in color and stopped the Magical Leaf in its tracks and shot it at Charmeleon who is now very close to them. Charmeleon opened his jaws wide to m them shut on the male Meowstic but the psychic controlled Magical Leaf shot towards him, seeing the leaves are heading towards Charmeleon, Julian quickly made a call. Julian "Convert to methrower" The mes in Charmeleon''s mouth suddenly expanded in size and sted out of his mouth towards the leaves, the leaves were turned into ashes and headed towards the two Meowstic, the two Meowstic quickly moved out of the way and dodged the methrower. Even though both of them are still under the protection of the Light Screen that willst for a few minutes, they don''t want to risk getting hit by a methrower. Both Meowstic moved away from each other and stared at their opponents realizing that they cannot afford to exchange moves with them, Olympia also understood this and quickly came up with a strategy in her mind. Chapter 1120 - Julian Vs Olympia (2) Julian carefully watched as the battle folded, as soon as he noticed the two Meowstic moved away from each other, he knew he had a chance to end this battle very quickly. Julian "Floette, use Petal Dance" Hearing Julian, his Floette went high up in the air and waved around her flower and caused the wind to go wild, glowing petals appeared out of thin air and created a massive tornado between the two Meowstic. The petal tornado started to pull everything into it, the two Meowstic felt the force of the pull and started to struggle to keep themselves away from the tornado. Julian "Charmeleon, use Dragon w" Charmeleon who is a few feet away from the petal tornado heard Julian and extended his ws, dragon energy traveled through his body towards his two ws and created massive ws made of dragon energy, he then set his sights on the closest Meowstic which is the male one and charged towards it. The male Meowstic who is struggling to hold up against the petal tornado noticed that Charmeleon ising right towards it, it didn''t know what to do so it linked up with its partner. Olympia also quickly tried to figure out a solution and thought of something. Olympia "Use Psychic to control the petals, use Sucker Punch" Olympia didn''t have to specify which pokemon to make them use their moves, the two pokemon are connected to each other mentally so they are in constantmunication with each other so both of them know what to do and who is going to make the move. It is not just Olympia who is a quick thinker, the two Meowstics alsoe up with decisions on the spot and make their move. The female Meowstic who is a little further away from the action and not that affected by the petal tornado suddenly used Psychic on the petal tornado, it struggled to use Psychic on the petal tornado as there is a lot of power behind it but it did help them slow it down a little. Charmeleon who was about tond the Dragon w on the male Meowstic suddenly got punched by the male Meowstic as it used Sucker Punch, since it''s a priority move it will always hit first if the user gets attacked by a physical move. As soon as Charmeleon got punched, Olympia thought that Charmeleon would be sent flying but boy she was wrong, that Sucker Punch seems to have pissed of Charmeleon, he red coldly at the Meowstic as his head was being turned away by the punch. The other Dragon w that is still active in his left hand, Charmeleon used the force that was about to send him flying thanks to the Sucker Punch, swiped his left hand at the male Meowstic. Charmeleon was sent spinning through the air as he was hit right in the jaw but his Dragon w also made contact with the small Meowstic''s body and sent it shooting into the petal tornado created by the Petal Dance. The male Meowstic was shocked, taken by surprise as it felt its body being lifted off the ground and shooting through the air, it felt a sharp pain on the right side of its body but before it could process it, its whole world turned upside down as it got rattled inside the petal tornado. Olympia was also shocked by this, she didn''t expect such an oue but it was not over, as soon as the male Meowstic wasunched into the petal tornado, Floette sent it galloping towards the female Meowstic. The female Meowstic used all its power behind Psychic to slow the Petal Dance down but she couldn''t, Floette was just a little more powerful than her, Floette continued to control the petal tornado created by the Petal Dance and hit the female Meowstic with it. Now both Meowstics are inside the tornado and are being rattled, Floette finally stopped as she couldn''t maintain the tornado any longer, as soon as the tornado disappeared and the energy petals dispersed into thin air, both Meowstic fell hard on the ground. Julian expected this to be over but to his surprise, it was not, both Meowstic are still conscious but they are badly hurt, especially the male as it took the whole impact of the Dragon w head-on from Charmeleon. The reason the petal tornado didn''t finish them of was that they are still under the effects of the Light Screen, it protected them from fetal damage. Charmeleon who was also sent flying through the air and crashed hard on the ground got back to his feet and rubbed his jaw while staring at the two Meowstics. The only reason Olympia''s n failed was because of Charmeleon, she expected him to get sted away like any other pokemon but Julian''s Charmeleon is a barbaric stubborn bastard, he doesn''t like getting outdone by his opponents. Every time he gets attacked, he tries his best to always get thest hit no matter the oue, during practice, he even tried to swipe at Infernape when he got pped to the side by Infernape, as soon as Infernape pped Charmeleon he tried to get thest hit on Infernape and he was sessful, he did hit Infernape but Infernape didn''t feel it at all, Charmeleon, on the other hand, got knocked out cold. The same thing happened here, the male Meowstic got a good hit on Charmeleon but since he is a tough bastard, he wanted thest hit and sted Meowstic with a Dragon w while he was being sent flying. All this happened in a few seconds and the results are clear, Charmeleon won that exchange even though he got hit first, right now the male Meowstic is struggling to get up and the female is trying to help it stand. And as for their partnership, it''s broken as they cannot coordinate their moves in such a state. Chapter 1121 - Julian Vs Olympia (3) With the link between the two Meowstics bing hazy, they were clearly at a massive disadvantage, the male Meowstic is in no shape to battle any further and is running off pure determination and will right now. Julian knew that this battle will be soon over and he was a little disappointed but he also realized that he has overtrained his Charmeleon a little too much, and with how barbaric his Charmeleon''s attitude is, it was not a surprise for Julian to see him counter-attack when he got attacked. There was nothing wrong with Olympia''s tactic, it was very good and well thought out, the only thing out of calction was Julian''s Charmeleon and his unpredictable nature, even Julian didn''t expect Charmeleon tosh out at thest second and send the male Meowstic into the tornado. This of course worked in Julian''s favor so he was not bothered, he likes Charmeleon''s barbaric nature as he was another unique pokemon in Julian''s team, though Charmeleon is too proud and gets himself in trouble with his other pokemon, it''s still manageable under Julian''s and Infernape''s eyes. Julian didn''t make a move and let the Meowstic get back to their feet and see if they will get a second wind and pull off something good which can drag this battle a little longer, he wants his Charmeleon to evolve. He could of course make Charmeleon evolve on his own and he will if it doesn''t happen right now. He waited as the two Meowstic finally got back to their feet, Olympia was surprised by Julian''s decision to not finish the battle but it didn''t matter to her as it worked in her favor, this was the opening she needs to flip the battle around. Olympia "Use Helping Hand and Future Sight" She called out. The male Meowstic who just got back to his feet raised his hand up in the air and sent energy into the female Meowstic, the female Meowstic also raised her hand and released purple energy which disappeared in thin air. Julian didn''t expect this, he thought that Olympia would somehow try to heal her team but she continued with an attack and called for Future Sight, which of course will be troublesome as Julian doesn''t know when his pokemon will be hit and which pokemon will be hit, the helping hand from the male Meowstic will also power up the Future Sight. If it was Julian, he would target his Charmeleon with that Future Sight as he has a weaker special defense, and he expects Olympia to target Charmeleon as well as she is a very knowledgeable trainer. But right now they arepletely exposed to an attack, Julian didn''t know what Olympia is thinking but he is expecting something good from her. Julian "Charmeleon, use Dragon w, Floette stay behind and keep a watch" Charmeleon charged first with a Dragon w, he created two massive energy ws and charged straight at the Meowstics. Olympia "Use Protect" As Charmeleon got closer to the Meowstics, the male Meowstic rushed forward and stood in front of the female and used Protect, right now the main priority is to protect the female Meowstic as she used the Future Sight, if she gets knocked out, the Future Sight will no take ce. Charmeleon swiped at the Protect and got blocked, his first Dragon w disappeared but he still has his other Dragon w ready, he swiped at the Protect again and destroyed it very easily, the Dragon w continued towards the male Meowstic but it was again blocked by another Protect. This time the female Meowstic activated Protect standing behind the male and protecting him, his Dragon ws were now gone but Charmeleon was not done and neither was Julian. Julian "Use Dragon Tail" Charmeleon continued with his momentum and spun around as his tail glowed purple in color. Julian "Floette, use Helping Hand" Floette quickly waved her flower and sent light particles shooting at Charmeleon, those light particles traveled very fast and flushed into Charmeleon''s Dragon Tail and increased its size and power. The tail mmed into the Protect and shattered it because of its increased power, Charmeleon was about tond the hit but things took a massive turn. A purple eye made of energy suddenly appeared in front of Charmeleon which caught him off guard, before his Dragon Tail could evennd, a powerful beam was shot out of the eye and hit Charmeleon on his face again. His head got mmed into the ground causing it to be the pivot which caused his whole body to turn and m hard on the ground, it then bounced and flew up in the air, the impact was really powerful. Future Sight is already a very powerful move and with Helping Hand from the male Meowstic doubled its power, Charmeleon took the full impact of the attack and got the wind knocked out of him. Julian also didn''t expect the sudden appearance of Future Sight, being a move that ispletely unpredictable Julian knew that his pokemon will have to deal with it. He watched and hoped that Charmeleon would be able to handle the impact of that move, the impact was very huge and any pokemon would be knocked out, Julian watched as he witnessed Charmeleon''s bodynd hard on the ground. Olympia clenched her fist as she finally got the upper hand in this battle, she expected Julian''s Charmeleon to go down but to her surprise, she saw movement even after Charmeleon hit the ground. She heard a very angry growling from Charmeleon, she saw as Charmeleon punched the ground while still lying on the ground, the weak me at the end of his tail red up and burned brighter than ever. He punched the ground with his other hand and slowly rose his head up growling, clenching his teeth, and ring at his opponents, the intimidating re from Charmeleon caused both the Meowstic to flinch and step back a little. Charmeleon continued to growl and get back to his feet, even though everyone can see the heavy damage from that Future Sight but everyone could tell that Charmeleon doesn''t give a shit about his injury, he is just pissed that he got hit by that Future Sight. As soon as Charmeleon got to his feet, he roared in anger and suddenly started to glow and his body started to go through changes. Chapter 1122 - Julian Vs Olympia (4) The glow around Charmeleon''s body got brighter and it blinded everyone on the battlefield, his height started to increase rapidly along with the length of his neck and tail, two massive wings spurted out of nowhere, his legs became bigger along with his body. Soon the bright light dimmed down revealing the pokemon under it, a massive ck Charizard stood there with his wings spread wide open, with maroon shade on the inside and ck on the outside, those wings look very intimidating, standing over 2 meters tall the size that power now that Charizard holds is enormous But the most intimidating part about Charizard is his fierce maroon eyes that are staring into the souls of both Meowstics, Julian looked at his Charizard and smiled, he finally evolved. It was very easy to train Charizard and the only thing that bothered Julian was his Charmander evolving before he could reach his peak. If Julian had not handed over the Everstone to Charmander, he would have never reached his full potential. Floette looked at Charizard with excitement in her eyes as she also wants to evolve and be a beautiful Florges and seeing Charmeleon evolve into such a magnificent Charizard, she cannot wait for her turn to evolve as well. She just watched from the side as Charizard took his first flight, he pped his massive wings creatingrge gusts of wind as his whole body lifted off the ground. Julian "Use Air sh" Hearing Julian''smand, Charizard started to rapidly move his wings sending multiple des of winds towards the Meowstic duo. Olympia didn''t expect her opponent''s pokemon to evolve just when she had gotten the upper hand, she knew that she needs to survive right now before she thinks of a counter. Olympia "Dodge" Hearing her, the two Meowstic used their psychic powers to propel their bodies out of the Air sh''s way, the wind des didn''t hit their target but they destroyed the ground that they came in contact with. Knowing that they just escaped from impending doom, the two Meowstics gulped down and stared at the Charizard in fear, they have never faced an opponent as dangerous as Charizard. Julian "Use Dragon Rush" If one move doesn''t work, the other will, Julianmanded for a Dragon Rush, one of the most powerful Dragon-type moves. Charizard roared and covered himself with dragon energy, even though he is not a dragon he has an abundant amount of dragon energy inside him, the dragon energy around him started toe together and form a massive purple dragon made of destructive dragon energy, once the massive dragon was formed, Charizard shot towards the two Meowstic. The two Meowstics cannot dodge this as the side of this attack is too big, they will have to take it head-on. Olympia "Use Protect once again" The two Meowstic raised their hands and used Protect once again, both Meowsticbined their power and created a massive forcefield in front of them, Charizard mmed into the forcefield with the massive dragon creating a massive shockwave and the sound was that of a lightning strike. Charizard put all his power behind it and tried to break through the protect but the Meowstics were not going to go down easily, even though both of them were at the limit they tried to do their best to push Charizard back. As Charizard put more pressure behind it, he started to push the forcefield back while cracks started to appear on the forcefield, both Meowstics were pushed to their knees as they couldn''t hold it any longer. The male Meowstic who is a lot weaker finally gave up and copsed, as soon as he went down, Charizard was about to push through, the forcefield shattered and the Dragon Rush passed through. The Dragon Rush mmed both Meowstic into the ground creating a massive explosion, the shockwave caused rubbles to fly everywhere clearing the whole battlefield. As the dust settled down, both Meowstic could be seen on the ground knocked out cold, and Charizard stood right in front of them looking down on them with his fierce eyes, he then roared looking up in the air as he dered his dominating victory. This battle was all about him, from dominating as a Charmeleon and then overwhelming his opponents by bing a Charizard. Julian was also happy with Charizard''s performance, he showed Julian that Doude is not the only pokemon in his team who can contend for the position of Julian''s ace for his Kalos team. Referee "Both Meowstics are unable to battle, hence the winner of this battle is the challenger'' The referee announced the winner of this battle and dered Julian as the victor. Julian sent both Floette and Charizard back to their Pokeball and looked at Olympia, she didn''t say anything and sent her Meowstics back to their pokeballs, she epted her loss without anyints, she knew she was outmatched and she never expected to defeat Julian, she knows who Julian is but his identity didn''t matter to her because she has seen and experienced more weird and grand things in her life because of her ability. Olympia walked towards Julian and handed him the Psychic Badge with a smile on her face. Olympia "Hope you will be able to take care of the disaster" She said. Julian "I hope so as well" Julian said and took the badge from her, he then bid his farewell and left the gym. Chapter 1123 - Calling Diantha Leaving the gym, Julian took a deep breath while looking at theary statues outside her gym, now that he has the seventh gym badge with him, he only has one to collect before he can participate in the Kalos league. Thest gym he will be challenging will be the Snowbelle city gym and he will be facing the gym leader named Wulfric, the strongest gym leader of Kalos. Julian ns to leave Anistar city soon and head towards Snowbelle but before that, he needs to inform the league about the weapon he found. Since he doesn''t have the Kalos league''s official number with him, he decided to call Diantha who had given him her number, Julian always had an eye for Diantha but he never made the move, he didn''t know why but if an opportunity appears he will take it. His fianc¨¦e Chloe also seems very eager to get her hands on Diantha as well, well all of his fianc¨¦es secretly want to have power over Julian''s other women but Chloe has always been the most expressive about it. The phone on the other side started to ring, it rang for a few seconds before it was finally picked up. "Hello, who is this and how did you acquire this number?" A foreign voice came from the other side, Julian recognized the voice on the other side of the call and it is none other than Diantha''s manager. Julian "This is Julian, I need to talk to Diantha, give her the phone" He said. He was met by silence from the other side before the manager started to panic on the other side and rushed towards Diantha to give her the phone. "Hello!". This time the voice was different, it belonged to Diantha so Julian was d. Julian "Yes, Diantha, it''s me, Julian" Diantha "Oh, I didn''t expect a call from you, is there something important that you need to discuss?" She asked. Julian "Yes, it is about something important, the league needs to get involved" Julian said. As soon as Diantha heard this, her expression became serious and she put the script in her hand to the side. Diantha "What happened?" She asked. Julian "I found the weapon that was involved in the 3000-year-old war and I have a feeling that Team re are after it, you should inform the league about it and tell them to guard it properly" When Diantha heard those words, she couldn''t believe it, her being a resident of Kalos of course knows about the 3000-year-old war and the weapon that was used in it, she didn''t expect Julian to actually find it. She also realized that this is a very dangerous situation as Julian said that Team re is after it, if they get their hands on this weapon it will be a disaster, the league has been keeping a close eye on Team re and they know that Team re is a dangerous organization but their actions have been gone unnoticed by the league and they are very careful, making sure that the league doesn''t find out anything about them. Diantha "Are you 100% sure about this?" She asked. Julian "I am, so if I were you, I would make sure to not dy this information, speak to the league about it, I want the league''s men near the weapon as soon as possible" Diantha "But where is the weapon" Julian "I will send you the exact coordinates" Julian didn''t say the name of the ce and sent the coordinates through a messaging app that is encrypted. Once Diantha got the coordinates, she checked the location and was surprised by where the weapon actually was. Julian "I will be ending this call, make sure everything is handled properly" Diantha "I will don''t worry about it" Diantha said and Julian ended the call. He then decided to visit the local market of the city and enjoy his time here. ____________________ Somewhere else in Kalos inside a hidden base, Lysander is sitting on his chair with a massive frown on his face, it has been more than a week now and he has heard nothing from Hunter J, he is starting to suspect that Hunter J stole the Zygarde core and ran away. As he was thinking about it, Xerosic, the fat team re admin walked in with a little nervous look on his face. Xerosic "Sir, we have bad news" He said, hearing him Lysander''s frown got deeper. Lysander "What happened? Did Hunter J run away with the Zygarde Core?" He asked with a growl. Xerosic "No sir, Hunter J has disappeared but her men were captured by the police" He replied. Lysander was surprised as he heard this. Lysander "What happened?" Xerosic "Hunter J has disappeared while her men were captured by the police, our men from inside received news that her men are iming that they encountered a man riding a Kyurem who stopped them in their tracks" He said. Lysander "Kyurem? Bullshit, why would Kyurem be in Kalos, and that is not even the bigger question, how can anyone tame a Kyurem, the legendary pokemon of Unova?" Lysander mmed his hand hard on the table. Lysander "They are definitely lying, Hunter J ran away with my Zygarde core and made her men capture themselves on purpose" Heined. Xerosic "But sir, all her men were found frozen" He said. Why would anyone freeze themselves so that they could get captured? Lysander grumbled and red at Xerosic. Lysander "Tell me everything in detail, what are those idiots saying" Xerosic "They are saying that they found the Zygarde core and sessfully captured it but suddenly an Articuno appeared and started attacking them, they were about to capture the Articuno as well but suddenly a Kyurem appeared out of nowhere and stopped them in their tracks, the Articuno then took away the Zygarde core with it" Xerosic exined. Lysander listened to him carefully but he didn''t know what to believe, he is not an idiot to believe the words of a few men who are loyal to someone else, but if there is a chance they are telling the truth, he realized that the Zygarde core is out there and there is also a man who has tamed a Kyurem. Chapter 1124 - Lysanders Plan? Lysander is worried about his current situation, he is not able to get hold of any other Zygarde core, his admins have been failing and now even Hunter J screwed him up. Lysander "And what about the admins, do they know about this?" Xerosic "No sir, this mission has been top-secret, no admins have been informed about it" Lysander "And make sure to keep it that way, they don''t need to know about this failure" Xerosic "Don''t worry sir, I will make sure that no one gets the wind of it" Lysander "Good, and how is that thinging to be?" Xerosic "It''sing as you nned, soon it will be ready to be used" Lysander "Good, and make sure this is also not known by anyone, the only people who need to know about it are you and me, do you get it?" Xerosic "Everything will be met to your expectations" Lysander "Ok, you can go now" Lysander said and sent Xerosic away, Xerosic walked out of Lysander''s room and noticed the sexy blond woman in front of him, as soon as he saw this woman, the lust in his eyes red up, he really wants to fuck this woman but none of his advances have been sessful. He decided to wait, once Lysander''s n works, he will finally have his way with this woman, this woman is none other than Ang, Julian''s spy and also disguised as Caroline right now. Caroline "What did you discuss with the boss?" She asked. Xerosic "How about you join me for dinner and we can discuss everything slowly or we can do it rough if you like that" He said with a smirk. Caroline "Fucking pig" She said right to his face and walked past him, hearing her words pissed of Xerosic but he could only clench his fist right now and grit his teeth in anger. Xerosic ''Just you wait, bitch, I will make you my personal cum dumpster'' Xerosic thought as he looked at Caroline enter Lysander''s room swaying her ass from left to right, Caroline entered Lysander''s room and carefully observed Lysander''s mood. She could tell that he is not in a very good mood but she could tell that he was also pleased with something, about something that was going his way. Caroline "Sir, I have some updates" She said. Lysander heard Caroline''s voice and his mood suddenly brightened up, he lifted his head and looked at Caroline with the same lust-filled eyes but he is a gentleman in some ways and won''t force his way on a woman so he never forced Caroline no matter how many times she rejected his advance. Lysander "What is it, Caroline?" He asked with a smile. Caroline "My sources have informed me that the league have found the weapon from the 3000-year-old war and moved their elite personals to guard it" Hearing her Lysander clicked his tongue in annoyance but calmed down soon. Lysander "Let them waste their time, I don''t need that useless weapon, this will act as a great distraction for my n" Lysander said. Caroline "If I may ask, what n sir?" She asked while bending down a little showing her cleavage, her massive breasts to Lysander. Lysander stared at her soft, fair cleavage for a few seconds before shaking his head. Lysander "It''s nothing don''t worry about it, tell me how the search for the Zygarde core is going" Caroline "We have located one Zygarde core''s location, it was found close to Anistar city" She said. Lysander ''Anistar city is very close to where Hunter J captured the Zygarde core, is it the same one, if it is then what those men are saying might be true''. Lysander "Send two admins there and try to find it, I need to capture one more no matter what happens" Caroline "I will get to it" She said and turned around and revealed a sly smile, two more admins will now fall in Julian''s trap, and with that most of Team re''s admins will be under her master''s control. She walked out of Lysander''s room and headed towards her, once she got in, she closed the door behind her and checked her room''s every corner as she doesn''t trust anyone here except the ones who have already been tamed by her master. Once she confirmed that there are no hidden cameras or audio recording devices in her room, she took out her new burner phone and called her master. ___________________ Julian was sitting in a coffee shop enjoying a piece of cake with Crystal sitting on his shoulder nibbling down on a piece of sweet bread, suddenly his phone rang and he looked at it, it was an untraceable number but he knew who it was, only one person ever calls him with an untraceable number. Julian "Ang" Ang "Hello Master~" Ang called him excitedly. Julian "Yes what is it?" Ang "Master, I don''t think Lysander is after the weapon from 3000 years ago" As Julian heard this he was surprised, he wondered what caused Ang to say these words. Julian "Why do you think so?" He asked. Ang "I informed Lysander about the weapon being found by the league and being guarded by their elite members but he just showed annoyance, he also said that it will act as a distraction, I think there is something else that he is up to" She said. Julian "Did you find out what it is?" Ang "No, Lysander has been very secretive about it, no one knows anything about it, the admins are clueless, the only person I suspect to know anything is Xerosic but he clearly has an ulterior motive and he is not to be trusted, finding out what Lysander is nning is near impossible, unless he speaks it out through his own mouth" Julian "I see, no need to risk anything just keep doing what you are doing, I will take care of it if things go wrong, you focus on collecting everything shady on Lysander and that Xerosic" Ang "I am on it master, you don''t have to worry about anything" Julian "Good, do a good job and you will be rewarded fairly" Ang "Thank you, Master~" She replied excitedly. Julian ended the call and went back to eating his cake. Chapter 1125 - Waiting For Prey Julian returned to his room andid down on his bed, he then started to wonder about the call he had with Ang, from what he gathered from her, the weapon that was used in the war 3000 years ago is not Lysander''s main target. But it''s still better to let the league guard it, a weapon like that should not be left unsupervised and as for what Lysander has been nning to do, Julian will have to have his people find out about it, the best guess Julian have right now is something rted to the Zygarde Core as they have been hunting them. From what Julian knows, Team re has one Zygarde Core with them and it is under constant watch, Only certified members are allowed to go near it, them being the Team re admins, the scientist working for them, and a few elite members. Julian wondered what he should do, with most of Team re''smand slowlying under him he doesn''t need to do much, with just a few words from him, he can cause Lysander''s whole n to flop. No matter what Lysander ns Julian will be one step ahead of him, he then closed his eyes and drifted away in his sleep, tomorrow he will be leaving Anistar city and heading towards Snowbelle city. ____________________ The next morning, Julian woke up early and got ready to leave Anistar city, he fed his pokemons and cleaned up, packed his stuff, and left the hotel, he then sat on his bike and rode off. Before he can get to Snowbelle City, he had to go through Couriway town first, he had looked into this town and found out a few things about it, this is quite a normal town but it is known for its unique traditions, people of this town hold monthly festivals where they gather around in the central town, mingle around, dance and celebrate, Julian was intrigued by this and wanted to experience it. It will take him a week to reach the town but he will be there right on time for this festival, his journey on route 18 was a quiet one, but he is expecting a visit from someone familiar very soon. Ang informed him about Lysander''s order to send Team re admins on the hunt for the Zygarde Core again and two of them are on their way, the ones who will be arriving will be Mable, the newest addition to his ve collection, and another Team re admin named Bryony. He had information on Bryony and he didn''t find anything special about her, like other Team re members, she is a highly skilled trainer and is a good leader but has a superiorityplex like every other Team re admin. Knowing that Team re is on their way, Julian needs to lure them in, he then asked his Zygarde Core to lure them in again, he made Zygarde send signals a few times a day. When Julian was about to reach Couriway town, he finally received a message from Mable that they are very close to him. Since Julian still has a day or two to reach Couriway town, he decided to stop and wait for them toe to him, after finding a forest area to camp down, once he selected the ce he wanted to capture the Team re members he settled down. The day was spent with Julian training his pokemon, since Charizard evolved he became very confident in taking Julian''s other pokemon, he then challenged Doude to a battle which he lost, though it was still a very hard-fought battle between the two of them, Doude still came out on top as he has spent more time with Julian and training under him, Charizard still needs to train a lot before he can rival Doude in battle intelligence which is very high, second only to Infernape. Even Julian''s older pokemons are not as good as Doude when ites to battle intelligence. Even though Doude is still not in his final evolution stage, he is still disying power simr to that of a fully evolved pokemon. He then challenged Porygon whopletely dominated Charizard in a battle and Charizard wasn''t even able tond a hit on it, the reason Porygon dominated this battle was because it already knows everything about Charizard and all its moves, even after Charizard evolved Porygon analyzed him and updated its data on Charizard. Once it had the data, Charizard couldn''t do anything, Proygon predicted his every move, which move he will use it. When he will use it, how he will use it, Porygon calcted everything and pulled out a probability result in its mind, the probability of Charizard making the specific move at a specific time was calcted Porygon so it already knew what Charizard would do and how he would counter if Porygon used a certain move. Battling Porygon is like ying a game on hell mode if Porygon has data on them. After Charizard''s loss, he was not disappointed in himself, he just got pissed and started to train even harder, Julian didn''t mind the extra training that Charizard did but he would stop Charizard when he thought he was going overboard with it. Night fell and Julian was done with feeding his pokemons, he sent all his pokemons back to their Pokeball and waited for Team re to arrive at his location, he still has the Zygarde core out of its Pokeball sending signals so that Team re can pinpoint it. Chapter 1126 - Team Flare Member Troubles Julian''s waitsted for hours before he finally got another message which sent his coordinates that were very close to him, Julian looked at the coordinates and realized that it is only a few kilometers away from him. Knowing that they are here, he sent Zygarde Core back to its Pokeball and headed in the direction of the coordinates, he was not even halfway there before he noticed movements in front of him, he stopped and concentrated into the darkness, he saw human figures distant from himing towards his direction. He realized that they were Team re members, he quickly climbed a tree and stood on the branch keeping a close eye on the group in front of him, he also noticed a Hoothoot right next to him surprised by his sudden appearance. Julian smiled at the Hoothoot and reassured it that he is not dangerous or has any animosity towards it, the Hoothoot calmed down and easily trusted Julian because of the aura around Julian, it went back to looking at the forest floor searching for food. The little Hoothoot got interested in Julian''s target and started to stare at them as well. Julian sat down on the branch and watched the Team re members as they looked at their high-tech devices and tried to figure out the location of the Zygarde Core, they had received the most recent signal very close by to this location. Julian had his eyes on every member of Team re and noticed that the admins are not present in this group, he doesn''t know how many members have been brought here but it doesn''t matter, he will take care of all of them. Since there is no Team re Admin in the group, Julian decided to quickly get rid of them so they won''t be an annoyance afterward. Julian [Gengar, get to it] Julian said and watched as a part of his shadow separated from himself and headed down towards the group. ___________________ A few meters away from Julian''s position, the group of Team re members led by an Elite member stopped in their tracks as they tried to get a signal on their device. "Sir, I can''t find the signal anymore, it must have gone into hiding" One of the members said as she tried to operate the device in her hand. "It doesn''t matter if it''s in hiding, this time we have to catch it or we are as good as dead, the boss will kill us, all our previous attempts have been a failure, the Admins have made it very clear that we are to locate its location and inform them, no matter what happens we have to be the first team to find the Zygarde Core" The Team Leader said and continued looking through every corner of his surrounding, they will have to spend days and weeks in this forest to search for Zygarde Core and they cannot waste any time, every minute they are king off the Zygarde Core might be getting further away from them. They have all the equipment to track down the Zygarde Core but these types of equipment only work when Zygarde Core is doing certain things, till then they will have to rely on traditional methods of searching and that is to check every nook and cranny of the forest. As they moved a little further from their spot, one of the members suddenly felt his leg getting stuck to the ground. "Huh?" He questioned and looked down and tried to move his leg but he couldn''t it was as if someone has glued his shoe to the ground. "Stop!" He shouted and stopped all the Team re members, all the members stopped and looked at the man who called for them, they noticed the panic on his face and got worried. "What happened?" The team leader asked as he didn''t want to waste time looking after his men when he could be looking for the Zygarde Core. "Sir, my legs are stuck!" He said while panicking, he tried to pull his leg but he couldn''t he tried to remove his shoe from his legs but as he bent down and touched his shoe, his hand got stuck to them. Now he found himself in a very weird position. "HELP, I AM STUCK, I CAN''T MOVE!" He began to shout and in fear this time. The other members were surprised to see this, they didn''t expect such a blizzard thing to ur all of a sudden. "Quickly get him out" The Team leader ordered as he watched. Other members walked towards the stuck member and tried to yank him out of the ground but no matter how much effort they put, they couldn''t move him an inch, all of them gave up as they started to sweat. "Sir we can''t pull him out" One of them said exhausted. "Try to remove his legs from his shoe" The team leader ordered while keeping his distance. The other members were very wary of touching the trapped member''s shoe as his hand got stuck while trying to free himself, one of them finally took a step forward and grabbed the wrist of the trapped hand and tried to yank it. He yanked a few more times but was of no use, he let go of the wrist and gulped down before trying to touch the shoe of the trapped member. As soon as he touched the trapped member''s shoe, he felt tiny threads attaching themselves into his hand, he panicked and tried to pull his hand back but he realized that he was stuck as well. "Sir I am stuck as well!" He eximed while looking at the team leader toe up with a solution to their problem, the team leader frowned as he saw this, he didn''t know what was happening but he cannot waste his time here with this bunch of idiots. "We don''t have time, two of you stay behind with them and try to figure out how to free them, the rest of you follow me". The team leader said. Chapter 1127 - Gengar The Quicksand The members who were stuck to the ground panicked as they also wanted to get out of their situation but it looks like the leader of the team is trying to get rid of them, they were angry but they couldn''t do anything, both in standing and fighting the leader has higher standing than them. The other members who were ordered to stay behind and watch over the trapped members were also not satisfied with his order but they cannot refute him, they had to listen to him as status and rank in Team re is very important, if someone doesn''t follow their higher-ups, the best thing that can happen to them is getting thrown out by Team re, the worst thing that can happen is torture and ****. Though they im to seek the perfect world, their hierarchy is really fucked up and the ones who are at the bottom are treated very poorly. The leader smirked as he saw the looks on their faces but he didn''t care, he turned around and tried to walk away but suddenly his facial expression changed as he realized that he couldn''t move his legs as well, he panicked and looked at the other members and realized that he was not the only one who is stuck, every member seems to be struggling to get their feet off their ground. "SIR, I CANNOT MOVE" One of them shouted. "NEITHER CAN I, SIR HELP US" "I WANNA GO BACK" "SIR, HELP UP PLEASE" All of them started to scream in fear as they didn''t know what to do. Julian who was watching this just sighed as he realized that Gengar is messing with them, he could have ended it with one gulp but he didn''t he targeted one and then made the others fear their own circumstances. The team re members continued to shout in fear and ask for help, seeing that none of them were able to get free, the leader took out his handheld device and sent out a distress signal. "SIR, I AM SINKING!" "SIR, ME TOO" "SIR, HELP ME" The members started to scream in fear as they realized that their legs are sinking into the ground, they looked at their feet and could see them slowly sinking into their own shadow. Even the leader was now sinking into the ground and panicking, he didn''t know what was happening but he is scared for his life, he didn''t want to die, he screamed out of his lungs and called for help, his screams scared away most of the pokemons in the surrounding while Julian just watched, the Hoothoot who is standing next to him also didn''t move and watched everything in detail, it was surprised by seeing how these people were sinking into their own shadow. It could feel the ghostly auraing from the shadow and wondered what is the cause behind it. The members soon disappeared into the ground and the only thing that was left was a patch of ck shadow on the ground, the shadow then moved and came right under the tree Julian is sitting and blended in. Hoothoot was surprised by this, it didn''t expect the shadow to move at all. Julian, on the other hand, just waited for another batch to arrive, since the team leader had sent out a distress signal, soon more members will arrive, and as he expected more Team re members arrived on the scene but there is still no sign of the Admins with them. The members that approached the area were divided into two groups and both of them came from different directions, Julian realized that the members were separated into groups tob the forest and find the Zygarde core. When the two groups arrived there, they looked at each other and tried to find the group who sent the distress signal but they couldn''t find even a trace of these people. They knew something went very wrong here, they tried to find any traces but they couldn''t "We should go back and report it to the admins, this might be a trap" The team leader of one team said to the other team leader. "Yes, we should, I don''t feel good here, there is something very creepy about this part of the forest, it is too quiet" The other team leader who is a female said these words. "Yes, let''s get out of here" The male team leader said and turned around and was about to leave but he suddenly felt his legs unable to be lifted off the ground, he looked down on the ground and tried to yank his leg off but he couldn''t He started to hearints and yells around him, he lifted his head and looked around realizing that the whole group is suffering the same thing as him, he looked at the female team leader and she is also struggling to get her feet off the ground, she bent down and tried to remove her show but her hands got stuck as well putting her exposed ass right in front of the male team leader. The male team leader didn''t know what to think of this situation, whether to be happy about seeing her ass or be scared about his current situation. Soon the yells got louder and they felt their body being dragged down into the ground. They sent out another distress signal as they disappeared into the shadow. Because of the distress signal, another group of team re members came and checked the area and they also suffered the same fate. Gengar was now just messing with these people, they would make the sinking process very slow so that every second was agonizing for these people. Julian, on the other hand, was surprised by how many people Team re had just sent, well he could understand the reason behind such numbers as they have faced continuous failure with capturing Zygarde Core. Chapter 1128 - Capturing Bryony (18+) Julian noticed that no more distress signal was sent anymore, by now he knows that there are no more team re members or even if they are, they are small in number and at the coordinates that Mable is in. Julian jumped down the tree and bid farewell to his watch partner the Hoothoot, the Hoothoot waved its wing at Julian saying goodbye. Gengar joined Julian back into his shadow as Julian headed towards the coordinates that Mable had sent him. _______________________ A kilometer away from Julian, multiple orange-colored camps were set up but the campsite is very empty, soon two people walked out of the main camp, both are women in their 20s, one with blue hair and one with green hair. They are the two admins of Team re that were assigned for this mission by Caroline/Ang. Bryony "We have received two distress signals, something must have happened, we should go check it out" Mable "Are you an idiot, we cannot leave now, there are no members with us right now, all were assigned tob the forest and find the Zygarde Core, if they are in danger we cannot go there all alone, it might be a trap" Bryony "And whose fault is it, why did you have to send every member into the search, if we had a few members with us, we could have gone checked it out" Mable "Who would have thought that they wille across some kind of trouble, I sent all of them away so that we can find the Zygarde Core as soon as possible, I don''t want to return back and tell the boss we failed again" She said. Bryony "I understand, I don''t want to go back with another failure as well" Mable "Finally we are agreeing with something, let''s stay here and wait for them toe back, we divided the group into four and we only got two distress signals, they might have handled it and areing back" Bryony "Let''s hope it''s true" She said while looking at the handheld device in her hand, she stopped receiving signals about the Zygarde Core whereabouts and she felt something was off. Not thinking much about her gut feeling, she put away her handheld device and looked at Mable, she noticed that Mable continued to look at her device as well. Bryony ''Why does she keep checking her device, is she expecting someone, or am I just imagining things?'' She thought as she looked at Mable, as she was staring at Mable, she suddenly felt a sharp sting on her neck and she copsed on the ground. Mable was surprised by this and turned around and looked at Bryony and found her on the ground knocked out and right next to her stood her master. Mable "MASTER" She eximed happily. Julian ''Hmm, pick her up and tie her to a chair, she should be waking up in an hour or two'' Julian said and walked into the camp, Mable nodded and picked up Bryony and dragged her back into the camp right behind Julian. Julian checked out the camp from inside while Mable dragged Bryony, put her on a chair, cuffed her hands behind her back, tied her legs, and secured her on the chair. Julian looked at her before putting his attention on the things in the tent again, he found some interesting devices and put them away in his pouch, once he was done, he sat down on a chair and looked at Mable, and smirked. He remembered the day he conquered her, the feeling of having total dominance over her was a great feeling, as he thought about it, his sexual desire rose, he has not had sex for a month now and today is the day he is going to quench his thirst. Julian "Mable,e here" He called. Mable looked at Julian and approached him, she stood in front of him with her hands behind her back obediently waiting for hismand. Julian "Get on your knees" He ordered. Mable got on her knees and looked up at Julian''s face, Julian looked at Mable and took off her high-tech goggles revealing her blue-colored eyes, he put his hand on her cheek and caressed it. Julian "You have nice eyes" He said. Mable felt blessed as she heard these words. Mable "Thank you master" Julian "Now, you know what to do" He said. Mable nodded and unzipped Julian''s pants pulling out his dick, even though it is still not hard it is still very thick in her grip, she grabs his cock and started to stroke it, she then opens her mouth and spits saliva on his cock. With it being lubricated, she started to squeeze and twist his cock, due to the stimtion his cock started to rise in size, it soon outgrew the length of her head as Mable looked at it with her wide eyes. Since his cock is so big, she now had to use both her hands to pleasure him, with both of her hands on her cock, she started to twist her hands around it and then started to lick the tip of his cock with her tongue. She then gradually moved on front licking to sucking the tip of cock, while twisting with her hands, she continued to suck, since his cock is so big, her mouth was already full after she took his cock inside her mouth a few inches deeper from the tip, she used her tongue to give him extra stimtion. Julian grunted in pleasure as Mable was giving him one of the best blowjobs, even though his whole cock is not experiencing it, it was still very pleasurable. Julian "You are doing good, now go deeper" Julian ordered. Mable nodded and decided to take her blowjob game to the next level. Chapter 1129 - Fucking Mable (18+) Mable knew that just sucking the tip of her master''s penis is not going to do it for her master, she needs to do a lot more and so she started doing it. She took his cock deeper into her mouth, she has been practicing this for a long time now, she practiced on a big dildo so that she won''t gag while pleasuring her master. She went deeper and deeper as the tip of his cock hit the back of her throat. Since she practiced a lot she didn''t gag but it was still hard for her to take his whole penis inside her mouth, as she couldn''t put it any further she started sucking him off, she deepthroated herself as best as she could as the tip of his penis hit the back of her mouth every time. Seeing that she is struggling, Julian decided to help, he grabbed her hair from the back and slowed started to push her down on his cock. Julian "Rx your throat or it''s going to hurt" He said as Mable tried to rx, she soon felt her throat being stretched to its limit as Julian''s cock made it down her throat, her eyes went wide open and tears started to stream down her eyes, the ck eyeliner that she wore started to wash down her cheeks marking it ck. Once his cock was fully down her throat Julian groaned and started to make Mable move, he used both his hands to get a good grip and started to face fuck, Mable. Mable felt powerless as Julian''s cock went up and down her throat, her saliva was dripped out of her mouth every time Julian pulled out his cock. The sound of her gurgling filled the camp, Mable found herself not able to breathe after such an intense facefuck so she started to tap Julian''s leg. Julian pulled out his cock from her mouth and let her breathe properly, Mable gasped for air and then coughed as she fill up her lungs again. Once she was done, Julian forced his cock inside her mouth again, he fucked her face for a few minutes before releasing a massive load inside her mouth. He pulled out his cock from her mouth and she just stayed still with his cum in her mouth, her mouth wide open, her tongue out, she waited for Julian''s order. Julian "Good girl, you can drink now" Hearing Julian''s order she gulped down all the cum in her mouth with no hesitation. Julian "Turn around and get on your four" Mable nodded and got on her four showing her th ass to Julian, she is wearing her shorts under her skirt so it is blocking his vision so he grabbed her shorts and tore them apart revealing the goodness behind it, he then looked at Mable''s wet pussy and touched it. Mable let out a soft moan as an electric feeling went through her body, Julian inserted his finger inside her pussy and bend it downward, and started to stir it from inside. As he sped up, Mable started to shout in pleasure. Mable "OH MY, OHHHH, MASTERRR~~~~~ MASTER, MASTER~~~~~" She called for Julian as pussy juice squirted out of her pussy continuously as Julian continued to vite her pussy with his finger. He made her squirt multiple times with his finger so that her pussy is properly lubricated for his massive penis. Julian "Now that you are lubricated, it''s time for reward" Julian said and got behind her, Mable got excited and started to shake her ass and weed her master. Julian looked at her soft ass and pped it hard. Mable "~ANNNN~" She squealed in pain but she felt pleasure in it. Julian "You forgot something, do I have to remind you?" He asked and spanked her again leaving another handprint on her ass, Mable squealed again but she didn''t know what to beg for. Julian "Looks like you didn''t do your homework, you need to be punished before getting your reward". Julian said and began to spank her repeatedly, Mable''s asscheeks turnedpletely red and filled with bruises, her head is now on the ground with tears filled in her eyes as she is panting heavily. Julian "Now do you know what to beg for?" Julian said and rubbed her pussy again but this time with his penis, Mable still continued to shake her ass while she also felt it stinging and hot. Mable "Master, please fuck this ve''s slutty pussy, this pussy belongs to you, you can use it however you want" She finally understood what it takes to be a ve, everything she needs from Julian is to be begged and everything Julian orders should be followed with no questioning. Julian "Good girl, you did well bringing another member of Team re to me, you can finally have your reward" Julian said and rubbed his cock on her pussy before pressing it on her vagina hole and inserting his cock inside her, as soon as his cock entered her it stretched her vagina causing Mable''s eyes to go wide as she felt the intense pleasure of Julian''s cock rubbing against her inner walls, his cock also pushed her g-spot a little and simted her. Mable "Master''s dick is inside me~" She moaned loudly as she wanted to please and excite Julian. Julian smirked and pped her ass again causing her to flinch. Chapter 1130 - Bryony Wakes Up (18+) Julian shoved his cock deep into Mable''s pussy hitting the deepest part of her vagina and going past her cervix and entering her uterus. Having himself balls deep inside Mable was a very pleasurable feeling, after a few movements in the beginning Julian increased his pace and started to pound Mable''s pussy and became very rough with her. Mable "MASTER~~ YOUR DICK IS SO~~ BIGGGG, MY PUSSY~ MY PUSSY IS GOING TO GO SOREEEE~~~" Mable screamed in pleasure, the sound of Julian''s balls pping against her pussy filled the tent, the gushing sound of her pussy juice being pumped in and out of her vagina sounded like sshing water. Mable started to lose herself in pleasure and ecstasy, her mouth was wide open with her tongue out, her saliva dripping out of her mouth, her eyes rolled up and her face on the ground. She looked like a cock hungry slut which she is, she is Julian''s personal cock-hungry slut like his every other ve. Julian continued fucking her, he grabbed her hair and pulled her head back, and continued to smash her pussy. He then made on lie on her back and drill her in a missionary position while choking her, he then lifted her up in the air and made her bounce on his cock as she screamed in pleasure. He made her squirt all over the tent like a bitch in heat, he then pushed her towards the tied-up Bryony who is still unconscious, Mable grabbed the arms of the chair in which Bryony is tied up while Julian is railing her from behind. Mable ispletely lost in lust and pleasure, she doesn''t care about anything, Julian''s cock is viting her pussy, spreading it to the max, making it super wet. Julian grabbed her hair again and tugged her head back to see her expression. Julian "Slut, you love it when I fuck you like this don''t you, you love how I ram my dick in your pussy?" He said while spanking her again. Mable "Yes master~~ I love being fucked in this slut pussy~~ this slut pussy by master''s dick" She said while moaning loudly, soon her words started to be unclear as they just sounded like bbers from a dumb person. He continued fucking her for a few minutes, because of the constant shaking Bryony woke up from her unconscious state, her head felt hazy and when she slowly opened her eyes she saw Mable''s slutty face right in front of her. Eyes rolled up, tongue out, saliva dripping off it, tears rolling down her cheeks, ck mascara marks on her cheeks. Bryony was stunned, she thought that she was dreaming and tried to rub her eyes but she realized that her hands and legs are tied, she could also hear Mable moaning loudly right in front of her face so it made it very clear that she was not dreaming. She looked behind Mable and saw a tall man fucking Mable like a whore, Bryony felt disgusted, she thought that Mable is being raped right now and she is enjoying it as the face Mable is making is not that of someone who is angry, in fear, or has not consented to it. Bryony "MABLE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She shouted right at Mable''s face in anger and disgust, Mable snapped out of her ecstasy and looked at Bryony. Mable "Ohhh~ you~ you~ are finally~ finally~ awake. Masterrrrr~ she is awake" Mable said while looking at Julian. Bryony "Master?" She questioned as she realized that something was very wrong here, why is she the only one who has been handcuffed, why is Mable getting fucked like a whore, why is she calling this man her master and why is the scene in front of her so hot. Julian "Oh, she is finally awake, *grunt* good, It''s time that she is awake, I don''t want to spend more time here in the middle of this jungle" He said while he continued fucking Mable. Bryony by now realized that she has fallen into a trap and Mable is a traitor and she is working for this man who is fucking her like a whore. Bryony "You traitor, the boss will kill you for this, once I escape from here, you are dead!" She eximed in anger but Mable didn''t mind her at all. Julian "She is a feisty one, let us show her what she is missing" Julian said and lifted Mable up in the air while his massive dick is still inside her, he held both her legs in his hand while she had her hand around his neck to support herself. Julian exposed Mable''s stretched hairy pussy to Bryony, Bryony watched as Julian''s massive cock vited Mable''s pussy and how stretched it was, she saw Mable''s pussy leaking fluids all the time, some fluids sshed and hit her on the face. Mable''s moans and Julian''s grunts made the scene sexier, Bryony who was tied up was now getting influenced by the scene in front of her, she started to get wet, she looked at Mable''s expression, and imagined herself in Mable''s position. Julian let go of Mable''s one leg and let her stand with one leg while still having her other leg in his arm, he then used his free arm to tear Mable''s top to expose her breasts which started to bounce up and down as they were now free, he then started to choke Mable with his hand and continued to fuck her. He continued to fuck her for fifteen more minutes before finally reaching his limit, as he was about to climax he took out his cock from her pussy at the right time and sprayed his cum all over Bryony''s face, Mable also squirted all over Bryony''s face. Bryony was shocked by this but by now she is extremely horny, she never felt this horny in her life, and with Julian cumming all over her, she wanted to lick his cum and suck his cock. Julian "Look at her, she looks good with my cum on her face. Slut, go and clean her face" Julian ordered Mable. Chapter 1131 - Subduing Of Bryony (18+) Mable listened to Julian''s order and approached Bryony and started to lick his cum with her tongue off Bryony''s face. Bryony felt conflicted right now, she hated the idea of Mable licking the cum off her face but she was also getting very horny, as she was thinking about her current situation, she suddenly felt Mable kissing her. Bryony''s eyes went wide as she felt Mable''s tongue enter her mouth, the taste of Mable''s saliva fixed with her Master''s cum filled her mouth. As she tasted the taste of Julian''s cum inside her mouth, she started to like it, the cum tasted really good and she felt energized by it. She then began to kiss Mable back and closed her eyes, Mable''s and Bryony''s tongues danced and twirled inside their mouths as they exchanged Julian''s cum inside their mouth, they didn''t stop till the taste of his cumpletely disappeared from their mouth. Once they were done kissing, Mable separated from Bryony while sticking out her tongue, a trail of saliva was stretched between her and Bryony''s tongue. Mable then licked her lips and went back to Julian Julian "Looks like she enjoyed it, I think she wants more of it" Julian said and walked towards Bryony with his erect cock pointed at her, Bryony was really taken back by how she just behaved, how she willing kissed Mable and tried to get as much as her master''s cum. As she was thinking about it, she saw Mable''s master approach her with his erect cock and put it right in front of her. She could smell the scene of his cum from it, she really wanted to lick it as it made her feel really good. Since her hands are cuffed so she couldn''t get a hold of his cock so she stretched her neck to get closer to his cock, Julian smirked seeing this, just a little bit of his cum and this girl is already trying to get more of it. Julian ''Look at this slut, she already wants to suck my cock, soon she will be begging for my cock to destroy her pussy'' Julian thought as he messed around with Bryony, whenever she tried to get closer to his cock he would move it away, Bryony looked at Julian, she wanted it but he didn''t let her. She wondered who he is as she felt that she has seen him somewhere, as she racked up her brain she finally realized who this person was, it was none other than Julian the former champion of Kanto. When she realized who this is, she knew that Team re is in danger, he already has Mable working as a spy for him and it is very well known on the inte that Julian is one of the strongest if not the strongest trainer in the world. Having such a strong trainer target them is a catastrophe, but she couldn''t do anything right now, she is helpless, trapped, and about to lose her mind. Julian realized that Bryony might have finally figured out who he was seeing her unusual change in behavior so he brought his cock in front of her mouth again, this time get grabbed the back of her head and made her look right into his eyes. Bryony looked into Julian''s eyes and felt small and submissive, she then opened her mouth willingly before Julian inserted his cock inside her. He then began to face fuck her as well, Bryony gagged as she was not used to such big dicks in her mouth, she has had sexual experiences in past before but all of them were vani, the furthest she has gone was someone spanking her ass. And now her throat is being stretched by Julian''s massive cock, he did give her time to breathe every minute so she doesn''t die choking on his dick, he then continued to deepthroat her for another 20 minutes before releasing his load deep down her throat. By now Bryony isn''t even wary about her situation, she is in bliss, her pussy is dripping wet, her eyes are teary and she wants to get fucked hard by Julian. Once Julian was done with her mouth, he removed the cuffs around her legs and lifted her off the chair she is sitting on, he then pushed her on the ground and removed the orange shorts she is wearing, revealing her fair-skinned ass, he pped it twice making then red. Bryony yelled in pain as this was the first time she got spanked so hard. Julian then started to fuck her with his massive cock, her tight pussy was stretched to its limit and Bryony felt a lot of pain, she felt as if she was a virgin again, soon the pain turned into pleasure and she was making the same face Mable was making half an hour ago. Mable who was on the side started to rub her already sensitive pussy which is filled with Julian''s cum. Julian "My slut, feed your pussy to her" Julian ordered Mable as he saw her on the side pleasuring herself, she nodded and got in front of Bryony and grabbed her head, and forced her dripping pussy on her mouth. Bryony started to eat Mable''s pussy while she continued to get fucked. Like every time to satisfy his sexual hunger, he fucked both Mable and Bryony for hours, Bryony like every other woman submitted to him and became his loyal obedient ve, with this only one admin is left and she will be conquered soon as well. Chapter 1132 - Couriway Town Julian then took out his sleeping equipment and went to sleep, both Mable and Bryony are lying on the floor of the tent with all their holes filled with his cum. They both look exhausted and lost in pleasure, they just looked at each other and decided to do the best for their master. The next morning Julian woke up with a pleasant surprise, both Bryony and Mable were sucking his cock and balls and trying their best to give him relief, things escted and Julian fucked the both of them again. He left both Bryony and Mableying on their back with their holes filled with cum again, he cleaned himself up and left, but before leaving he ordered both of them to continue doing their work properly and they might be rewarded in the future. Refreshed, Julian got back on the road and headed towards Couriway town, it took him another day before he finally reached the town. When he arrived there he could see that the town is already preparing for the monthly festival, the monthly festival of this town is not something grand, very little money is spent on this festival, the decorations are all done by people and not by any organizers. People decorate their own house and with every house being decorated, the town looks much more alive and cheerful. Julian saw that he was not the only one entering the town, many trainers and travelers were entering the town as well, the monthly festival seems to be quite well known in Kalos, even though there are no grand asions and spending, the people of this town are known to have fun so whenever a trainer or a traveler is close to this town during the festival period they do their best to visit the town. Julian entered the town and was greeted with a smile by the police at the front entrance, though he knows that the smiles are fake, it was still better than the strict and cold demeanor that police have in other parts of the region. After entering the town, he found a cozy ce to stay, since this is not a massive city, there are no five-star hotels for him to stay at, but the ce he found is a small but cozy one, it is owned by a family, they have a big house which they put up for rent, they had an empty room for Julian so he rented it for a few days. The family that owns the house is a middle-aged woman and her two daughters who are 18 and 21, as for their father, Julian has no idea nor he cares about it. He is just here for the festival which will be held tomorrow but after reading the atmosphere, people are already very excited about it and are not holding back their enthusiasm. Julian stayed back in the room he rented for the day and cleaned after himself, after doing so he visited the family who owns this house and greeted them, they were also very excited to meet as well, why would they not be? The Julian is staying with them for the festival. Julian talked with the family and tried to figure out about the festival. He soon learned that the festival is just held for no reason, this festival is being held for 100s of years just for the fun of it, the people of this town believed that people need to enjoy their life and live it to the fullest so this festival helps every month so that people are reminded that they need to live their life to the fullest and enjoy it. Julian also learned that the whole town puts in money for this festival and there isn''t any organization that is in charge of holding it, every person decorates their own house, and people who live on the same street gather together to decorate the streets. The day of the festival will be very lively and people will be all over the streets, many people will volunteer themselves to make massive amounts of food so it canst for the whole town during the festival, he can already see the preparation of food if he goes to the town''s center. During the daytime of the festival, people will mingle and talk to each other, there will be small shows and disys for entertainment, there will also be fair for children and adults. And at the very end of the day, there will be a massive bonfire and people will dance around it, during the bonfire, people dance, drink, eat, and have all kinds of fun. Julian was now excited, knowing that this town knows how to have fun, he knew he will have a great time here, he also noticed that the mother and daughters were trying their best to make Julian''s time in their house great, they made sure that Julian doesn''t feel any inconvenience. Julian who was on the receiving end of all this great service had a great time, he felt his stay in this house was better than a 5-star hotel. Chapter 1133 - Festival And Snowbelle City The day of the festival was here and Julian was woken up by sounds of people shouting and talking, it was very loud outside, he got up from his bed and looked out of the window and noticed a lot of people were on the streets, the streets were fully decorated, people were wearing their best clothes, they wereughing and talking to each other and headed towards the center of the vige. Julian decided to get ready and head there as well but first, he needed to take care of his pokemon and their needs, once he was done feeding them and having his own breakfast, he got ready and walked out of his room, when he went downstairs the owner of this establishment was already waiting for him. All three women were beautiful dressed which brought out their charm, the two youngdies looked sweet and beautiful in their flowery dresses while their mother looked elegant and sensational in her traditional gown. He greeted them and they did the same, they told him that they were waiting for him and it is their duty to make him enjoy the festival and experience it to the fullest, Julian, of course, didn''t reject this offer, it is better to enjoy the holiday with someone else than alone. Too bad none of his fianc¨¦es are here or he would have had an even greater time. The four of them made their way to the center of the town which was decorated very grandly even though the people didn''t put much money into this, they still worked their asses off to make the ce look very beautiful. The center town was crowded with people everywhere, the four of them walked around enjoying the view, they ate the food that was being served, then they went to the fair and enjoyed the rides. The day went great but the night was even better, a massive bonfire was prepared and set on fire, music was being yed with traditional instruments and people were dancing with each other, Julian also danced with the two daughters and the mother, after dancing they drank and talked a lot. The festival would go all night and many people would stay behind till sunrise but some of them still returned to their home tired from all the fun they had, Julian and the group also returned back to their house. When they got there, the two young girls and their mother got frisky as they were drunk and made advancement on Julian, Julian didn''t hold back either and joined them in their nightly adventures. The night was filled with moans of three women from their home and Julian had fun with the milf and her two daughters. The next day Julian woke up with the milf and her two daughters still sleeping peacefully, he left their house and went into his own room to get ready and leave, he fed his pokemon, cleaned up after himself, and left the town. He had his fun and now it was time for hisst and final gym battle before he goes and conquer the Kalos league, his destination is Snowbelle city. Snowbelle city is a weird city in Julian''s eyes, even though there are no high mountains and hills in the area but there is still snow present in the area, he believed that the reason behind this city experiencing all year winter is because of the cold air that travels here after being deflected by the mountains up north. When he reached Snowbelle city, he saw a city covered with snow, the surrounding is covered with snow as well and the air around here is very cold as well, on his way to Snowbelle city he did try to find a pokemon and like always he was disappointed. Well, he did find a lot of good candidates but his standard for pokemons has risen a lot, with pokemon like Doude, Porygon, and Charizard in his team, and his other pokemons are also the best of their species. Julian chose all of them carefully, he searched for them for hours and days, he released so many pokemons of the same species just because they missed his requirement by an inch. Snowbelle city will be thest city he will be visiting before he heads back to Lumiose city where he will be staying until the league starts. After entering the city, he saw that the city is filled with people and pokemons even though it''s cold out here in the street, people are wearing thick coats and walking around, some of them going to work while others were busy with their day. He entered the city and found everything normal about it, he was the only one that stood out because he was not wearing thick clothes, people looked at him and wondered how he is not feeling cold. Julian ignored the gazes and found an expensive hotel to stay at. Snowbelle city is a medium-sized city and there is nothing that interests him here, he is only here to challenge the gym and earn hisst and final gym battle. He also wants to see if there are any pokemons that he might get interested in. Chapter 1134 - Wulfric And His Ways Now that he has a ce to rx and calm down after his travel, he then looked into the gym leader of Snowbelle Gym. The gym leader of the Snowbelle gym is Wulfric, a big old man with white hair and a big beard, he then looked into his battle records and was surprised by his insane win rate of 98% on every first challenge, this was the highest win rate Julian had ever seen. Just from his impressive win rate, he could tell that Wulfric will be a mighty foe, he then looked into his pokemon and finally realized why his win rate was so high. First, his pokemons are massive and rely on their power and defense, Julian knows about pokemons that have both powerful and have a high defense as he has trained pokemons like this, for example, his Snox and Tyranitar. The number of pokemons that Wulfric uses is just two, the battles he has are only two on two, it is very rare for him to have a three on three pokemon battle, the reason why he doesn''t like three on three battles is that he finds them too long. Julian was surprised when he read that, he realized that Wulfric is a character, he then looked at the two pokemons, they are Avalugg and Abomasnow. These two are his main pokemons and they have dominated every battle that they have been in. Julian looked more into these two pokemons and found out that his Avalugg is almost impossible to take down due to its ridiculous defense and then there is his Abomasnow which is an allrounder powerhouse, it doesn''t have a super high attack or defense but its stats are nicely bnced making it a pokemon that can adapt to all kinds of opponents. But the main reason Abomasnow is a formidable pokemon to its challenger is that it can Mega Evolve and Wulfric doesn''t seem to be shy of using it, whenever he thinks that his opponents are doing better than he expected, he rises up the bar, and Mega Evolves his Abomasnow. Now that he has an idea of what he will be facing in the Snowbelle gym, he started to look into his own team and think of the pokemons he wants to use, his team right now is very small with only six pokemon. He didn''t think his team would only have six pokemon at the very end of his journey but he doesn''t care, the six pokemon in his team are very good and having a small team also helped him a lot, with a small team he had more time to dedicate to each and every one of them. He is nning to evolve his Floette, Doude, and Skrelp very soon, he will be using evolutionary stones to evolve his Floette and Doude and Skrelp has reached his limit and will soon be evolving. He just needs a push. After a little bit of thinking, Julian decided to evolve his Doude and then use him in the battle and his second pokemon will be witzer, witzer has not had any recent battle and Julian thinks that this will be a good battle for him. As for his other pokemon, they will be on the sidelines and only get some action when the league finally starts, Porygon will be too dominant in any battle, Floette and Charizard had their battle in Anistar city though it was just Charizard who did most of the battle, and then there is Skrelp, Julian doesn''t n to have him battle until he finally evolves, Julian has been waiting for quite long now. Skrelp takes very long to evolve and now he is finally there, Julian could use him in this match but his current body won''t be able to handle the power Wulfric''s pokemon possesses, but once he evolves it would be a whole another deal. Now that he knows which pokemons he will be using, he walked out of his hotel and quickly found a ce to train at the edge of the city, there seem to be not many people here, and his surrounding is covered with forest so he should be safe from public eyes. He then brought out his pokemons and let the others continue with their normal training while he stood in front of Floette and Doude and took out two stones from his dimensional pouch. The two stones are Dusk Stone and Shiny Stone. Dusk Stone will trigger Doude''s evolution and he will finally evolve into Aegish and the Shiny Stone will trigger Floette''s evolution and she will evolve into a Florges. The two who were wondering why they were selected looked at him curiously, but when they noticed him taking out two stones from his dimensional pocket. As soon as these two stones came out, the two of them felt a connection to it, they felt like the power that is dormant inside them wanted to burst out. They realized what these stones are and got excited and waited for Julian to pass them over, Julian saw that both Doude and Floette got excited seeing the stones in his hand, he smiled at them and handed over the Dusk Stone to Doude and Shiny Stone to Floette. Chapter 1135 - Mable And Bryony Return As soon as the Dusk Stone and Shiny Stone came in contact with their hands, the stones started to reach and the pokemon who were holding them started to glow. The stones seem to be dissolving like a liquid in their hands and fusing into their body, their body started to glow brighter and brighter, the shine of the light lit up the whole area, Julian''s other pokemon also noticed this change and gathered around Doude and Floette. Both Doude and Floette started to change in size, Doude''s two des started to fuse with each other and turn into one single big de, two hands grow out from the top and a circr disk was formed which will act as his shield. Floette also started to change and the flower she was holding disappeared and the size of her body started to increase by a lot, at first she was only 20 centimeters in height but now her body is growing continuously, it finally stops when she reaches the high of 1.2 meters. Under the bright glowing light, her head looks massive but that is not the case, it is the flowers that cover her neck and head. The light that was covering them soon faded away releasing the two pokemon inside revealing them for others to see. Doude has now evolved into Aegish, he floated there with his magnificent new look, he waved around his new shield which will now make him a full-fledged tank with very high attack and defense, Doude also finally has a visible eye over his de which can move from left to right. Floette evolved into Florges, she looked very beautiful and elegant, the white flower bush around her neck and head looked very beautiful and the flowery aroma around her made everyone feel very pleasant. Both Aegish and Florges looked very happy as they finally reached their final evolution, now they have reached their full potential Julian will be increasing the difficulty of their training. Julian let them enjoy themselves for a few minutes before he went back to training them, both Aegish and Florges were told to understand their newfound strength and power before Julian continues training them again. Julian''s older pokemon helped them understand how to do it and since both of them are very good, it didn''t take them long to understand their powers and how to use them more efficiently. Aegish was of course the first one to master his understanding of his energy and went straight into training, Florges was not that behind in her progress as well and soon joined Aegish in training. The training went for a few days, once Julian thought that he was ready to take on Wulfric he ended the training that day and went back to his nice hotel and slept. Tomorrow will be the day he will challenge Wulfric and win his eighth and final badge. ____________________ Somewhere else in Kalos, inside Team re headquarters, both Mable and Bryony crashed their bikes against the entrance of headquarters, this alerted the team re and a few members rushed out and looked at what is happening, they noticed that two of their admins are down and injured. They quickly put the two of them in a wheelchair and took them in, everyone could see that the two of them were injured, there were cuts and wounds on them, it was very clear that they were attacked. They were taken to the medical room and treated, after an hour, once both of them were patched up Lysander walked in with Caroline and Xerosic. The three of them looked at Mable and Bryony and frowned. Lysander "What happened?" Lysander asked. Mable "Sir, we were attacked, it was an ambush, we were led to the ambush spot by the signal we got from our device, but what was waiting for us there was no Zygarde core but a trap" Bryony "All our members were caught, we somehow made an escape by running away or we would have been killed or captured, we don''t know what fate fell on our members" She continued Mable''s words. Lysander''s frown deepened as he heard this, Xerosic was also frowning while Caroline didn''t have any expression on her face, she looked cold and professional like always. Lysander "Do you know who it was?" Mable "I don''t know but that man was riding a Kyurem, he came out of nowhere and attacked us all, the very first attack from him destroyed half of our team" Mable answered. Lysander''s frown turned into anger. Lysander ''It''s the same man with Kyurem again, it looks like Hunter J''s men were lying to me, the Kyurem trainer must have captured one of the Zygarde core and used it to lure us out'' He thought and looked at Xerosic and Caroline but they didn''t say anything. Lysander ''But why is he targeting my organization, is he one of those justice warriors who fight quote quote bad guys?'' He wondered while looking at Mable and Bryony, he didn''t doubt them at all because the injury they have is very real, what he didn''t know was that they were self-inflicted by them, they attacked each other toe up with a story for their failure and only two of them returning back. Lysander "Fine, you two rest, Xerosic,e with me, we need to discuss" He said and walked out with Xerosic leaving Caroline with Mable and Bryony. Caroline "You two did good, Master will be happy" She said and walked away as well. Chapter 1136 - Julian Vs Wulfric (1) The day of the battle was here, Julian woke up early in the morning and got ready for battle. With everything prepared he headed towards Snowbelle gym, the gym is on the edge of the city on top of a higher teau that looked like a hill because of all the snow covering it. And on top is the gym, the gym is quite big from inside and is also covered in snow, its walls are beautifully designed and coated with gold paint and its windows are painted with different colors. Julian entered the gym and found a young man wearing sses, the young man also noticed Julian and approached him. "You must be a challenger?" He asked, Julian "Yes, I am" Julian answered. ''Then please follow me" The young man took Julian to the battlefield, when Julian entered the battlefield he saw a massive battlefield that seems to bepletely made of ice, the surroundings his also covered with ice, the pirs are covered with thick ice as well. The whole inner gym waspletely different from what Julian had expected but he is not worried about the current situation. He is very confident in his win because both of his pokemons that he is going to use today rely on legs or have legs to move around. Across the battlefield, a big fat man with a white beard and hair walked in, the aura around him looked dominant and anyone in the room would be quiet if he entered. Julian looked that man in his eyes and the man did the same. Wulfric "Finally, I have been waiting for you" Julian "Oh, do you know me?" Wulfric "Of course, I can tell from those eyes, now Julian let''s see if your reputation really lives up or you will fall just like my other opponents" Wulfric dered while crossing his arms, the man is really big, he is 6 feet 7 inches, has massive arms, wide shoulders, and has a big belly, he is the most intimidating man one could imagine. Others will be intimidated but Julian is not, he just smirks andughs it off. Julian "Sure, I would like to see how strong you really are as well?" Julian said and took his ce on the battlefield, he then waited for Wulfric to do the same, Wulfric walked towards his position with heavy steps and called for the referee. The person who brought Julian here soon walked in with a referee uniform and took his ce as a referee. He then looked at both trainers and started to exin the rules of this battle. Referee "This battle is a two on two pokemon battle, the trainer with no pokemon at the end of the battle wins, only the challenger is allowed to switch a pokemon in the middle of the battle while the gym leader is not." The referee exins and asks both of them if they understood the rules, once he got a not he proceeded further. Referee "Now both of you may choose your first pokemon" Without wasting any time Wulfric sent out his first pokemon, his Avalugg, a massive pokemon made of ice standing over 2 meters tall and 3 meters longnded on the battlefield shaking the icy ground. Julian also sent out his first pokemon on the battlefield as well, he sent out witzer. Julian''s witzer entered the battlefield and snapped his massive w trying to intimidate the opponent in front of him but his opponent didn''t take him too seriously. With both pokemons on the slippery battlefield, the referee called for the battle'' Referee "The battle may begin" He said and waived of his g. Since Wulfric''s Avalugg is a defensive pokemon, Julian is not nning to wait around and drag this battle, even though Avalugg''s physical defense is ridiculous, its special defense is not so much and witzer is the perfect counter for it as witzer''s special attack is very strong. It can easily deal a lot of damage to Avalugg, Wulfric also knows this but he wanted to see what Julian''s witzer has before hees up with a n, he has some moves up his sleeve which will prevent his pokemon from taking any damage. Julian "witzer, use Scald" Julian ordered. witzer snapped open his massive w and shot a stream of scalding hot water Avalugg, the water stream shot through the air creating shockwaves. Wulfric saw the iing attack and knew he cannot risk his Avalugg taking these kinds of attacks, not even once. Wulfric "Use Protect and then Icy Wind" Avalugg used Protect and created a forcefield in front of it and blocked the Scald, the hot stream of the jet crashed against the protective forcefield and caused a sizzling sound like a very hot object met a cold one causing an instant temperature change. Avalugg''s vision was being fogged by steam but it used Icy Wind and blew away the fog, the Icy Wind then carried on and tried to freeze witzer. Chapter 1137 - Julian Vs Wulfric (2) As the cold Icy Wind headed towards witzer, Julian made his call. Julian "Use Aqua Jet" Julian decided toe up with a counterattack in a very unique way. witzer surrounded his body with water and shot right into the Icy Wind, as soon as he made contact with the Icy Wind, the Aqua Jet started to freeze on spot. witzer''s Aqua Jet turned into a solid ice missile as he continued to shoot towards Avalugg. Wulfric was surprised seeing this up he wasn''t worried, the massive ice missile crashed head-on against Avalugg. Avalugg didn''t move nor try to dodge, it nted its foot on the slippery icy floor but its grip was as solid as on the normal ground, it took the icy missile head-on which caused a thundering sound. Ice Shards flew everywhere and as the scene cleared, everyone could see witzer''s w grinding against Avalugg''s head, it was clear that the ice missile waspletely useless against this behemoth. Julian "Scald" Julian finally called out his main move, he had expected this, he realized that his opponent is very prideful and decided to attack him head-on predicting he won''t move because he is confident in his pokemon''s defense. And as Julian predicted it happened, now that the ice has been removed due to the collision witzer is free to attack again. He shot the Scald at Avalugg''s face at point-nk range. The scalding hot water hit Avalugg''s face and caught it off guard, its whole body was pushed back and the damage that it took was very high, its legs went weak and its body crashed on the ground causing cracks to appear on the ice surface below it. Due to the point-nk shot from witzxer, he was also sent back flying from the pressure but witzernded on the icy surface and slide to the end of the battlefield. Now that Agalugg was done, it was time to end it. Julian "Use another Scald" Scald was the most effective move and Julian will use it again and again to do maximum damage. witzer locked onto his target from the very end of the battle and used Scald, the hot jet of water shot out of witzer''s w and shot towards the Avalugg who is down on its belly and is struggling to get up. Wulfric "Use Protect" Since Avalugg will not be able to get back on its feet on time, it''s better to still defend itself so that the battle won''t end in such an embarrassing loss. Avalugg used Protect while its bell is still pressed against the floor and blocked the Scald from touching it, just like before Scald touched the protectiveyer, it sizzled and fell on the icy floor and started to melt. Julian noticed this and thought of something. Julian ''I can do that'' He thought of something and went with it. Julian ''Use Scald around Avalugg" Seeing how the ice melted with the hot water touching it, Julian figured out a way to trap Avalugg on the stop and also limit its movements. witzer opened his w and shot the Scald at Avalugg''s feet, the Scald shot right through the thickyer of ice and uncovered the water underneath, witzer cut a circle around Avalugg and sent the giant into the water body underneath. Its massive body sunk and only its back was floating upon the water surface, this is how these pokemon are in the wild, they live in the icy water floating in open cold waters like icebergs but what it does is limit their movement, with ice around it, it cannot move around like in the wild trapping it on the spot. Julian "Now Crab Hammer" witzer rushed towards the floating Avalugg who is trying its best to get out but it cannot get any grip under its feet, due to its icy body it cannot go underneath the water as well, witzer arrived on top of Avalugg''s back and started to pound it with his massive w. He used Crab Hammer and smashed it on top of its back, due to its ridiculous defense it was able to take it but witzer didn''t stop, it used Crab Hammer again and again. Soon all these powerful massive blows started to take their toll and Avalugg got knocked out. Once witzer felt no movement from Avalugg he moved away, the referee walked closer and checked on Avalugg and found that it has been knocked out. Referee "Avalugg is unable to battle, witzer wins" He announced. Wulfric clicked his tongue from the loss, he didn''t expect his own battlefield will cause his loss, the ice around Avalugg prevented it from moving, there was just no way out of this. He sent Avalugg back to its Pokeball and took out his next Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield. His Abomasnow entered the battlefield and red at witzer, it then looked at the massive water hole in the battlefield realizing what happened, it then lifted its leg up and mmed it on the ground trying to intimidate witzer. Too bad for Abomasnow, its intimidation won''t work on witzer and he won''t even be Abomasnow''s opponent, Julian sent witzer back into his Pokeball and sent out his second pokemon into the battlefield, Aegish. Aegish took the battlefield and swung his de in the air and punched the air with his shield and floated in the air in his de form. Chapter 1138 - Julian Vs Wulfric (3) Aegish looks quite good as he stares down Abomasnow. Wulfric felt a little headache as he witnessed Julian sending out a new pokemon into the battlefield, and that too a steel type which has resistance to ice type pokemons. But Wulfric won''t back down from a battle. He didn''t even think for a second before he pulled out his Keystone and mega evolved his Abomasnow, light leaked out of the Keystone in his hand which caused the Mega Stone around Abomasnow''s neck to react, light leaked out of the Mega Stone as well and started to fuse with the onesing from the Keystone. Soon Abomasnow got covered in colorful light and a visible change started to take ce, it started to grow in size exceptionally, it stood at 2.2 meters at first but now it seems to have grown to 2.7 meters tall. The light soon faded away revealing Mega Abomasnow, it looked bigger and its hairs are now more aggressive than before, its body size has also increased a lot giving it more power. Once Abomasnow was done Mega Evolving Julian made his move. Julian "Use Air sh" Since Aegish is in de forme right now his attack and special attacks are off the roof while his defense and special defense arecking, Julian used this chance to attack first again and see what Wulfric''s Abomasnow has up its sleeve. Aegish shed forcefully through the air horizontally and sent a massive de made of air at Mega Abomasnow. Wulfric "Use Energy Balls" Wulfric ordered. Mega Abomasnow raised both its arms and created a massive Energy Ball and sent it towards the iing Air sh. The two attacks collided right in the middle of the battlefield and created a powerful explosion which was followed up by a shockwave, the force from the explosion even cracked the ice below it. Julian "Use Aerial Ace" Hearing Julian''s order Aegish flew up high in the air and shot towards Abomasnow, he then suddenly disappeared in mid-air and appeared right before Abomasnow. Wulfric "Use Ice Punch" Wulfric called for a counter at the right time, Abomasnow punched at Aegish and both of them shed again, another powerful sh that created a powerful shockwave once again. The ice beneath Abomasnow''s legs cracked and then got crushed as she was pushed back by Aegish but was soon stopped as both of them lost all their momentum and energy, seeing that Aeigsh is up close Wulfric realized that this is the chance to attack. Wulfric "Now, use Shadow Ball" Wulfric ordered, one of the few weaknesses that Aegish has is ghost type and Wulfric wants to take advantage of this. Julian saw thising beforehand and was ready for it. Julian "Stance Change" Julian called out. Stance Change is not a move but Aegish''s ability, this ability allows Aegish to change stance and alter his stats, right now he is in his de Forme which gives him very high attack and special attack but this also makes his defense and special defenseckluster which could be a catastrophe if he gets hit by just one big move. And the iing Shadow Ball is that big move. Aegish quickly used Stance change and put his shield in front of his de and supported it with both his arms, Stance Change was sessful and Aegish took Shield Forme and his stats took a drastic turn, his defense and special defense rose up exceptionally while his attack and special attack fell drastically. In this form, his attack power will be very low and his defense will be very high and if he wants to attack with high power again he will have to stance change and go back to his de Forme. The Shadow Ball from Abomasnownded straight on Aegish''s shield but he took it like it was nothing, he was just pushed back a little. Wulfric clicked his tongue in annoyance but continue with his attack. Wulfric "Use Ice Punches" With Wulfric''s order, Mega Abomasnow started to go heavy with its attack, it charged up Ice Punch in both its hands and started to swing at Aegish. The sound of Abomasnow''s ice-covered fist hitting the metal shield of Aegish created gong-like sounds inside the battlefield. Aegish was being pushed back by Abomasnow but Julian didn''t make a move yet, though these punches are dealing damage Julian is confident in Aegish''s defense. Abomasnow soon started to get exhausted as it used too much of its power, continuous Ice Punches, and that too at full power and speed was not something one should do, no matter how good a pokemon''s stamina is, they will be quickly drained if they do so. Seeing that it was time to counter-attack, Julian made the move. Julian "Stance Change, and use Sacred Sword" Aegish dodged thest Ice Punch from the exhausted Abomasnow and did a Stance Change returning back to his de Forme, he then used Sacred Sword to attack. His de started to glow and he then shed at Abomasnow, with a full power Sacred Sword in his de Forme, there is no way Abomasnow could survive this. Abomasnow got hit and was sent flying through the air, it then crashed hard against the ice floor causing it to shatter again, water seeped out from beneath, and Abomasnow''s Mega Evolution faded away revealing the knocked out Abomasnow on the Icy flood. The referee stepped in and soon called out the result. Referee "Abomasnow is unable to battle, Aegish wins" He dered. Chapter 1139 - The Pokemon Village With the call from the referee, the battle was over and Julian has won, he was d that this is over and now he can concentrate on the big battles that areing in the future, he will also be able to head back to Lumiose city and join Chloe and Daisy and spent the rest of his time with them. Wulfric looked at his fallen Abomasnow and sighed, he waspletely outssed and overpowered by his opponent today, he sent Abomasnow back to its Pokeball and approached Julian with the Iceberg badge in his hand, and handed it over to Julian. Julian took the badge and put it with the rest of the badge he earned here in Kalos, he then bid farewell to Wulfric and walked out of the Snowbelle gym. He looked up and noticed the bright rays falling down on the city. When he arrived here before, there was very little sunlight as the city was covered by clouds but it seems to have cleared now, people areing out of their house to enjoy the warmth from the sunlight. Julian walked back to his hotel room with a smile and got ready to leave, but before then he roamed around the city and looked around to see if there is anything that could interest him, he did find some nice local shops to dine at which made delicious food, even his pokemons loved them. The next day, Julian woke up and got ready to leave, he packed his stuff and checked out of his hotel, and left Snowbelle city. But before he heads back to Lumiose City, he decided to visit this ce called the pokemon vige that is south of Snowbelle City. It is a vige that is only habituated by pokemons and there are no humans living on its premises, Julian was interested in this vige and wanted to check it out. The pokemons of this vige are not known to be friendly either, they attack humans and are not fond of them, most of the pokemons whoe to live in this vige have either been poorly treated or put through some kind of trauma. Building trust with these pokemon will be hard but from what Julian has heard till now, the vige is filled with rare and powerful pokemons, if Julian gets lucky he might befriend one and catch it. He headed to the south gate of Snowbelle city and left riding on route 20 to reach the pokemon vige. The vige will be easy to find but entering it will be a challenge, and there is also a massive forest that he has to go through before he arrives there. After a day of riding Julian finally entered the forest and it will take another three-four days for him to get past this forest to reach the vige. Once he entered the vige he realized that this forest has a lot of pokemons and they seem to be very aggressive, he got attacked by pokemons whenever he stopped his bike, he realized that the pokemons here are very hostile towards humans. Too bad for these pokemons as soon as they got closer to Julian, a ck tentacle came out of the ground, grabbed them, and yeeted them away back to where they came from, some were sent into the bush while some were sent flying. Julian was starting to get annoyed so he told Gengar to release his aura and chase every pokemon around him, he had told Gengar not to release his aura because pokemons got scared and ran away before he could even see them and he wanted to catch some pokemon, but the constant attacks from these pokemons were getting really annoying so he decided to not catch any pokemon right now. Night fell and Julian set up a camp and fed his pokemon, his pokemons eat and yed around, the scene was quite pleasant. The four days that Julian spent in this forest were quite uneventful, he didn''t experience any random attacks from aggressive pokemons because of Gengar, he just trained his pokemons and tried to evolve his Skrelp who is there but just needs a nice push before he triggers his evolution. After four days of traveling through the forest, Julian finally got out of it, he told Gengar to hide his presence again as he wants to see what kind of pokemons he can find in the pokemon vige. Not even a few kilometers out of the forest and he already met a pokemon that has great potential right in front of him, a Quidin but it was just not the Quidin, it is actually battling against another pokemon which also has really great potential and is Julian''s target. He also noticed other pokemons around who were watching this battle and were cheering for the Quidin but to Julian''s eyes, it clearly looked like bullying. The pokemon on the receiving end of this attack is a Snover. Julian didn''t expect to see a Snover all the way over here in this forest but he got very lucky, even though the Snover is getting beaten up it is very young and weakpared to the already trained Quidin. Julian wanted the Snover as he will turn it into an exceptional Abomasnow which will be thest pokemon in his team and will cover the grass and ice type which is missing in his team. With the final pokemon that he wanted to add to his team has been found, it is time for Julian to capture it and train it. Chapter 1140 - Saving The Snover Julian wondered why this is happening but he didn''t care enough to find out the reason behind it, he continued to watch the incident and see where it goes. The two pokemons continued to battle but the Snover doesn''t seem to have an advantage over the Quidin, it was getting bullied, the Quidin could finish this battle whenever it wants but it didn''t, it is very clear that the Quidin wants to hurt the Snover. It then used Pin Missiles and sent multiple pins made of grass energy towards the Snover, since the Snover is already very weak it has no strength to defend itself, it tried to move away but got bombarded with the Pin Missiles. The Snover went to its knee and there is clear visible damage all over its body, seeing this, Julian decided it was time to end it. This will be his future pokemon, he doesn''t want anything bad to happen to it. Julian "Gengar" Julian worded. Gengar giggled and went towards the group in an instant, he then shot out his shadow tentacle and wrapped the Quidin, and threw it far far away. The other pokemons were shocked by this, before they could do anything more tentacles shot out and grabbed them as well and threw them away far, far away. The Snover was surprised as well, it didn''t understand what happened, it was just getting bullied and now all its bullies have been flung into the air by something strange. It looked at the ck shadow tentacles scared and didn''t know what it was, to it the tentacles are just scary monsters. It tried to run but it tumbled due to its injury caused by the Quidin, it looked back scared and noticed that the tentacles have disappeared but instead of tentacles it saw a human walk towards it, seeing this human it got more scared. This Snover has a very bad experience with humans, in past, it was captured by hunters and separated from its parents, in captivating it was beaten up and tortured by these hunters, it started to fear humans, in its eyes, they are all scary monsters that will hurt and kill pokemons. One day it somehow manage to escape when the hunters were attacked, the cage it was locked in broke and it ran away with other pokemons and somehow ended up here. When it got here it started to get bullied because it was the weakest of them all and didn''t get along with other pokemons, it soon got outcasted by the group and since it is the weakest of them all, it cannot rely on the stronger ones who live in the vige. Strong pokemons hang out with other strong pokemons and pokemons that are weaker than they follow them, this goes on in the whole vige, weaker pokemon follows the stronger pokemon, and being the weakest outcast is not good. __________________ The Snover tried to run away but it couldn''t its legs are weak and given up on it, and its whole body is acing. It turned and looked at the human again and saw that the human is very close to it, it froze on the spot from fear thinking that the human is going to hurt it. Julian got close to the Snover and realized that it was petrified of him, seeing this, Julian felt sad for the little guy, it is having the worst reaction than when it was getting bullied, he wondered what happened to this Snover for it to act like this just after taking a look at him. Julian realized that this Snover has serious PTSD and it will take some time to treat him. Julian knew his approach needs to be careful with this Snover, luckily for him, he has Omniforce and also has the best pokemon to handle this situation. He used his Omniforce to make him look as friendly as possible and he then tapped his front pocket to bring out little Crystal to help him. The Snover who is frozen and quivering suddenly felt a sense of relief as it looked at the human in front of it, for some reason this human didn''t feel threatening or scary like the others it has seen and been in contact with. It then also saw a small pokemon pop its head out of the human''s front pocket and look at it, seeing this small pokemon the Snover felt more relieved. Crystal floated out of Julian''s pocket and approached Snover with the cutest smile and gave it a nice warm hug to calm it down, Crystal could sense Snover''s feeling and it wanted to help Snover calm down. As soon as Crystal did so, Snoverpletely calmed down with the help of Crystal, seeing that Snover has finally calmed down Julian put his hand on the Snover, it flinched but soon calmed down. Julian started to check its injury and found several cuts on its body, some were new and some were old and healing in process, seeing this, Julian found out that Snover has been being bullied for quite a while now. He took out some potions to heal its wounds and also took out some healing berries to feed the Snover. The Snover was surprised by the human''s attitude towards it, it never thought a human would feed and treat it with food. Chapter 1141 - Waves Of Pokemons The Snover didn''t know how to react to this, it just stay in his arms without moving scared that it might get hit again if it tried to do anything. Julian noticed that even though the Snover has calmed down it is still scared of him, as he was treating the Snover he noticed movements from his side, these movements belong to pokemons and they are heading his way. Julian didn''t expect pokemons toe to see trouble so early, but he didn''t even bother to care about them, these pokemons are too weak for him to personally get involved, he continued to check on Snover. A few pokemons rushed out of the bushes and stared at the human that is holding the Snover, the Quidin that was flung into the sky was also with them and pointed at the Snover and said something to the big Arbok. The Arbok looked at the Snover in the human''s hand and hissed angrily, suddenly all the pokemon around it charged at the human and the Snover to beat them up and bully them, maybe even torture the human. Snover noticed the horde of pokemonsing towards them and got scared, it looked at Julian and then at Crystal and tried to warn them but seeing that they didn''t care about the horde that is rushing towards them it got confused. As soon as the horde got close to Julian and was about to attack him, shadow tentacles shot out of the ground and wrapped around the iing horde, and sent them flying through the air again. The leader of the group Arbok was surprised by what just happened, a moment ago it was about to bear its venomous fangs into the human, and the next moment it is flying through the sky along with the pokemons that followed it. It went far and crashed near the pokemon vige right in front of a stronger pokemon, the whole group got knocked out because of them hitting the hard ground from such height. The other pokemon inside the vige were surprised by this, they waited for the pokemons who are knocked out to get up and exin what happened to them. When the pokemons that got knocked out woke up they found themselves surrounded by pokemons stronger and tougher than them. They got nervous and wondered how they ended up here, soon everything became clear and they remembered how they ended up here. Soon they blurred out what happened to the stronger pokemons, the Quidin also exined its story to the stronger pokemons and tried to gain their favor. The stronger pokemons were furious about a human being close to their vige and told them to take them there. Soon arge number of powerful pokemons went to the area where Julian is healing Snover. Julian continued to observe Snover''s recovery and now he could see the visible changes happening on Snover''s body, its wounds are healing and the potions and berries seem to be doing their work. Julian again noticed another horde of pokemons rushing towards the direction and this time the size of the horde is bigger and the strength of each individual pokemon is stronger, and they all seem furious. But it was all useless, as soon as they got close to Julian, they got wrapped around by shadow tentacles and get flung into the air without even understanding what happened. All these big power pokemons were flying through the air and all of them crashed in the pokemon vige again, this time themotion got even bigger as the pokemons realized that there is a formidable foe outside the pokemon vige and they won''t allow any intruder to invade them and they definitely didn''t wee any humans amongst them. Because of this incident, the leader pokemons of the vige were notified about it and they soon gathered an army of pokemon and headed towards the area where the intruders are said to be staying. Julian is now sitting calmly as he watched Snover familiarize itself with Crystal, it was wary at first but soon gotfortable with Crystal and Julian around. As Julian was wondering what he should do next, he noticed another hoard of pokemon rushing towards him, but this time it is not just a hoard but a whole army, consisting of more than 100 pokemons and all of them are very powerful. This looks like the elite force of the pokemon vige, Snover who was busy ying also noticed this and got scared and rushed towards Julian and hid behind him while sneaking a peek from the side to see what is happening. It got more scared as it saw the massive army of pokemons rushing towards them, it didn''t want to stay here anymore and wanted to leave. The few leaders of this pokemon vige are Vespiquen, Pangoro, Scolipede, and Exploud. These four are clearly the leaders and are also heading the charge, Julian looked at the group and wondered what they will be able to do against his Gengar. This time Gengar decided to stop ying games and make a grand entrance to scare these pokemons and so his effort to look mighty powerful began. Chapter 1142 - The Shadow Monster As the wild horde got closer to Julian''s group, Gengar made his move, he separated from Julian''s shadow and got right in between Julian and the hoard. The hoard of pokemon saw the ck shadow on the ground and ran directly towards it, from what they heard from the pokemons that got attacked and they were attacked by a ck shadow, these hoard of pokemons realized that the one who attacked was the shadow in the ground. Some pokemons used special attacks and attacked the ground where Gengar''s shadow is causing multiple explosions but to their surprise, the shadow didn''t disappear. All of them suddenly came to a halt as they heard a creepyughing from the show. Gengar "GEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGEGE" They never felt so terrified before, they realized that this ck shadow is dangerous but they are still confident in their numbers. The leaders of the hoard decided to courage up and attack the shadow on the ground again but before they could move, Gengar expanded the shadow on the ground over 10 meters making him look like a menace. The leaders that tried to step in backed of as they didn''t know what was going to happen, they then noticed the massive shadow move, suddenly the arms of the shadow shot out of the ground and held on to the side, then the massive shadow itself came out of the ground and presented itself as a massive shadow figure. Standing over ten meters tall, this shadow was clearly a nightmare fuel with crimson red eyes, massive mouth with red insides, big massive hands with sharp ws, it looked like Gengar but on steroids and much bigger. But at the end of the day, it was not Gengar, just the shadow he was controlling, he could shape it however he wants and he made it look scary. Seeing the massive monster in front of them, the pokemon hoard were scared shitlessly, they didn''t know such type of monster exists, they backed off a little and tried to figure out how to deal with this monster, they didn''t want to let go of the pokemon vige and run away. This area has a lot of resources for them to just give up and run. The leaders decided to take the first step and used their most powerful special attacks on the massive shadow monster. But to their shock, their attacks just passed through it like there was nothing there, at first they were scared but soon one of the leaders realized that if their attacks cannot touch the shadow, the shadow cannot touch them as well. Thinking it figured out the shadow monster the Exploud leader, charged at the massive shadow while using Crunch, it created a massive jaw made of dark energy and tried to go past the shadow and attack the human behind it. But things didn''t go as expected, as soon as the jaw made of energy came in contact with the shadow monster it exploded sending the Exploud rolling back on the ground, it got back to its feet and looked at the massive shadow in confusion, it wondered why it didn''t work, why did its other moves went past the shadow monster and this didn''t. As it was thinking the shadow monster finally took its first step and swung its massive hand at Exploud, Exploud saw the iing swipe and tried to run but it got swatted into the air and disappeared from everyone''s sight. The other pokemon leaders were now shivering in fear, they realized that this shadow monster is not something they should have messed with in the first ce, they cursed the pokemons that brought them here and tried to flee, the hoard slowly stepped back but Gengar was not going to let them go so easily. The shadow monster charged up a massive dark pulse in front of its mouth and shot it at the hoard of hundreds of pokemon. Though this dark pulse is not as strong as something directly from Gengar it is still devastating to pokemons in front of it, the dark pulse tore through the air shattering the sound barrier and hitting the pokemons on the other end. A powerful explosion took ce and all the pokemons were sent shooting through the sky and when the dust settled down, there was a massive crater on the ground, it looked like some meteor had struck thend causing such deep and wide crater. Julian looked at the crater and felt annoyed, even though Gengar was holding back, he still caused a lot of destruction, he was also impressed by how much Gengar has developed in controlling the shadow and making avatars out of it like the shadow monster. He could even change their properties from physical to nonexistence, this is the reason why some attacks got through and some didn''t. The Snover who saw this all is now even more shocked than ever, it was scared when it saw the giant shadow monster appear but it soon realized that the monster is on their side and will be fighting off the hoard, it saw how the giant monster destroyed all the pokemons that rushed towards them, it even saw the strong leaders of the pokemon vige getting destroyed by the shadow monster. It wondered how did the monster get so strong. Chapter 1143 - Returning To Lumiose And Having Fun Snover wanted to figure out more about the shadow monster, it was not afraid of it anymore since the shadow saved it from being bullied and beaten up by other pokemons, it also felt really safe in Julian''s hand and didn''t let go afterward. Julian was surprised by how quickly the Snover got attached to him, well he couldn''t me the little fellow, it looks like it had been bullied and beaten up its whole life so finally meeting someone who treated it well, gave it food, and healed its injury, it quickly grew close to Julian. And with Crystal around, things were even better, Crystal could befriend even the toughest stone-hearted pokemons so Snover was a very easy pokemon to befriend. Now that Julian has his pokemon, he decided it was time for him to leave, he wanted to check out the pokemon vige but seeing how aggressive the pokemons are towards humans, he decided not to, he didn''t want to scare them away from their own homes. Gengar also didn''t hurt anyone of them and just sent them back to where they came from. Since it was time to leave Julian got on his feet and took out a Pokeball and ced it in front of Snover. Julian "Come with me and I will make sure to take great care of you" Julian said with a smile on his face, Snover looked at Julian and then at the Pokeball, it then looked at Crystal who flew into Julian''s pocket and peeked out its head to look at Snover with its big cute eyes. Snover quickly came to its decision and pressed the button on the Pokeball causing it to open and engulf Snover. Snover went in and the Pokeball shook three times before finally stopping and releasing a pleasant sound indicating that the catch is sessful. Julian picked up the Pokeball and put it away and left. It is time to head to Lumiose city now, he has been away for too long now, he then got on his bike and rode off. He passed through route 21, route 22, entered Santalune city, and then entered Lumiose city, it took him more than a month to make this journey, he did take some time off and explored the towns he encountered on these routes, he even got lucky once and found a beautiful female hiker on the way and as payment, she let him fuck her and he did fuck her good. _________________ He finally reached Lumiose city and headed directly to his house there, he didn''t experience any resistance from the guards as they know who he is, he walked in and knocked on the door. Since he didn''t tell them he wasing, it is going to be a massive surprise, the door opened and the one to open was Chloe, she is wearing a red top and short jean shorts. As soon as she saw Julian''s her eyes went wide in excitement and jumped at him. Chloe "Darling!" She yelled and clung to him, hearing Chloe yelling, Daisy also came and saw Julian, she also got excited and jumped on him as well, Julian sighed and then smiled and hugged them back, he then carried both of them back into the house as they are not nning to let him go. Julian took them to the living room and tossed them on the couch. Julian "Wait for me, I need to clean up myself, then we can continue with all the hugs and kisses" He said and walked into the bathroom and had a quick shower. After he walked out, he saw both Daisy and Chloe sitting on the couch naked scissoring each other and moaning. They saw Julianing out and smiled seductively at him, Julian of course, won''t hold back now, he then joined them and fucked both of them to oblivion. Their moans are so loud that it was leaking out of their room, one of the guards that were guarding needed to pee so he walked into the apartment and heard the moans. He got closer and heard both Chloe and Daisy moaning crazily, he couldn''t help but imagine how Julian was sting their pussy with his huge cock, the reason why he knows Julian has a huge cock is that both Chloe and Daisy are screaming about his massive cock stretching their pussy. The guard got so horny that he had to bust a nut while imagining Chloe and Daisy in the toilet, too bad for him he will never be able to even touch them let alone be in the same room with them, everyone in the industry knows never to set their eyes on Chloe and Daisy, everyone knows what happens if they offend these two women. And the security guard is just a normal man doing a normal job, he doesn''t want to get fired or his life ruined. He went back to his post, what he didn''t expect was the moans to keep on going for almost six hours, he couldn''t believe his ears, every time he walked into the apartment he would hear their moans, he couldn''t help but look up to Julian for his limitless libido and stamina. ______________ Inside their room, Julian wasying on his bed while Chloe and Daisy were kissing and sharing thest bit of cum between their mouths. Julian "No need to fight over it, there will be moreter" He said as he ns to fuck them even more after a few hours. Chapter 1144 - The Final Evolution Julian''s time in Lumiose city has been great, he spends most of this time with his fianc¨¦es having fun and a lot of sex, the three of them can''t get their hands off each other. If Julian is not spending his time with his fianc¨¦es, he will be training his pokemons, his Skrelp finally evolved and is now a Dragalge, with his evolving his powers now rivaled his other teammates and now he is no longer worried about not being able topete with other pokemons in Julian''s team who have already reached their final evolution. The only remaining pokemon that needs to evolve in Julian''s team is Snover, since he is new to the team, he needs time to adjust and with his past experience, he still suffers from severe trauma, right now Julian''s main goal is to train him and make him get used to humans around him. Julian needs to make him learn that not all humans are bad, it will take some time but Julian knows he can do it, he is alreadyfortable with Daisy and Chloe. The training has also been going pretty well and Snover is very good at understanding Julian''s training and grew up very fast, with its newfound strength Snover''s confidence is also growing. With things going as he expected, his life is going great, a month passed, and Julian sessfully got Snover''s fear of humans out of him, him growing stronger and stronger every other day helped him a lot and increased his confidence, now he could defend himself and not fear about getting hurt by others. _________________ It is Monday morning, Julian woke up and he received a message from Ang, looks like she is nning to make a move again and this time it will be the final member of Team re admin that Julian wants to conquer, with thest woman under him, Team re''s power structure will bepletely under his hands. So he gave her the confirmation and Ang get to work, this time the admin she will be sending will be Bryony and Celosia, the short purple-haired admin. But the surprise for Julian didn''t end, he received another message and this time it is from Professor Sycamore and he has something that caught Julian''s interest. He decided to visit Sycamore and check this out himself, he say his goodbyes to his two fianc¨¦es who headed of to work and made his way towards Professor Sycamore''sb. When he got there Professor Sycamore''s assistant was already waiting for him, the beautiful blue-haired Sophie. She guided Julian into theb where Professor Sycamore is already waiting for him. Julian "Professor Sycamore, is it true?" Julian asked as he is excited about the thing that Sycamore has with him. Sycamore "Indeed, I have an upgrade file for Porygon, it is a high risk to evolve Proygon again but seeing how well your Porygon is doing, maybe you can find a way" Sycamore said and handed over a drive to Julian, Julian took the drive happily, with his system, he could perfect the code inside this drive and evolve his Porygon again. After discussing this matter a little further, Julian left theb and headed back to his apartment, he then sat down in front of hisptop and uploaded the code in it. Julian ''System, modify the code and perfect it'' Julian ordered, his system started to work as it infiltrated hisptop and started changing the code and perfecting it, it didn''t even take five minutes before it was done, since it has already done this twice, figure out the new code was very easy for it. Seeing that the code is done, he took out Porygon''s Pokeball and plugged it into hisptop, and let his system do the work again. Changes started to take ce on Julian''s screen as he saw the silhouette of Porygon2 changing at a rapid rate. soon the singr body of Porygon split into two, one part being the head itself and the other its body, it lost its legs and grew three limbs like structure, Julian couldn''t see the changes yet but he is eager to see how Porygon looks like. Once the code was fused and Porygon finally evolved, Julian unplugged the Pokeball and called out Porygon, the Porygon that came out lookingpletely different from its previous form. It was not grounded anymore, it was floating in the air, the limbs like structure looks like its hands and a tail, its head ispletely detached from its body and is levitating over its head, it can move 360 degrees. Julian is pleased with the changes in Porygon and the stat change is also massive. Like before he can alter Porygon''s stat to however he wants. The extra fifty points stat buff across the board made it an even dangerous powerhouse in Julian''s Kalos team. But the most surprising change in Porygon is not its physical appearance but its mental state, Julian for the first time saw emotions in Porygon''s eyes, those eyes that looked lifeless are now showing emotions, the emotions in its eyes are mixed with excitement, confusion, and desire. Julian knew that his system has perfected an artificially made pokemon and gave it life, something that contains a newborn soul, this just showed how powerful his system really is. Chapter 1145 - Current Status With things turning out as Julian expected, nothing major happened but he knows that this is the calm before the storm, from what he learned from Ang, Lysander is making huge moves right now, he is putting her workers on extra time, his professors and scientists are also working overtime. Team re is on the move and Julian has already started sabotaging their n, the admins are already making sure that most of Lysander''s objectives fail, but they can only dy the oue, if Lysander keeps failing he will find out that something is wrong in Team re and it won''t take long for him to figure out there are spies in his organization. Julian still couldn''t figure out what Lysander is really after, is he just like any other organization leader, who is after a pokemon that can cause world destruction, or is he any different and thinking of something else. Till now, Julian has nevere across anyone different, even though their goals are very different, they all do the same thing, they go after the most powerful pokemon in their region and try to control them and fail miserably. Julian wondered if Lysander is the same old case of idiot who is mental and delusional or does he have something else in his mind, Julian knows his n, at least the n he has put out there, capture Zygarde and take over the world, make a world that is perfect in his eyes. But Julian also knows that it is not his main n, he has something going on behind the scene and not many people know about it, even the admins he has enved are oblivious to it. Ang is trying her best but she has no sess with it, she did tell him about the admin who knows about Lysander''s n but this admin is a pig as well and has been eyeing Ang from the day she set foot in that organization. Julian thought about it and wondered if Ang should risk it and try to seduce the fat pig but Julian also knows that the fat pig can lie about the information he can provide and Julian doesn''t want to risk Ang''s life by exposing her to the real truth of Lysander as it can put her in danger. Lysander is a psycho, just meeting him once made Julian realize how fucked up he is inside his mind, if Lysander finds out about Ang or even doubts her a little, her life is at risk. And Julian doesn''t want that, even though Ang is not his main girl, she still belongs to him and he will take care of her when she is in trouble, she doesn''t have to risk her life for something that can be taken care of on spot if the problem really arises. Even though Julian doesn''t want the problem itself to show up, he cannot control everything, without knowing what Lysander is nning Julian cannot do anything, if he knew what Lysander was really after, he would have just made his way to their headquarters andpletely crushed them with his Snox. He knows all their hideouts because of the information he received from both Ang and the admins he has under him. He decided to not care about it much and let the girls do what they are doing, everything is going well, the more they dy Team re, the more time Julian has to enjoy his time with his fianc¨¦es. He also knows that Ang is nning to send out thest admin who is on her way here, Julian has to get ready for them, this time he doesn''t have to set a trap as Julian has made sure that whoeveres with thest admin have to do all the work from capturing them to informing Julian. Once everything is done by them, Julian can move in and do his work. _________________ A few weeks passed and Julian got a message from Bryony that she is already here in Lumiose city and she has already captured thest admin and is waiting for Julian to make the move. Julian was surprised by how fast Bryony made her move, from what he learned, Lysander was careful this time and only sent out the admins for this mission to make sure no one notice them, with just two admins on the mission, they will have a very little footprint and both of them didn''t travel together so when they arrived in Lumiose city they won''t have any attention on them. From the day Lysander learned that the man with Kyurem is targeting them, he became really careful, he didn''t want more of his members to be targeted and eliminated by the Kyurem trainer. So he made this n to send only two admins and made sure that they don''t meet each other till they reach Lumiose city where thest Zygarde core signal appeared on their radar. What happened afterward is that Bryony and Celosia met at a hotel room they rented to meet at, Bryony drugged Celosia and has her tied up now. Julian has expected their arrival and now that they are here, it is time for him to do his job, conquer thest admin he needs under him. Chapter 1146 Close To The League 1146 Close To The League After getting the news about Celosia and Bryony, Julian made his way towards the hotel they are staying at, they seem to be staying in a normal hotel that doesn''t have many customers but is not empty as well, a perfect ce to use as a temporary hideout. He got there and headed towards the room where Bryony and Celosia are, when he walked in he saw Bryony sitting on the couch fixing her makeup while looking into a handheld mirror, he then looked at the other woman in the room who is tied up in the bedpletely naked, her hands and legs are cuffed across the bed''s cornerspletely exposing her. Julian was once again surprised by Bryony''s boldness, she did everything herself as she expects a great reward from Julian. And Julian is impressed, so he decided to reward Bryony, Bryony noticed Julian''s arrival and put away the mirror and turned into a submissive slut in an instant, Julian then went on to fuck her for hours as the tied up Celosia watched in shock and her thoughts got corrupted. Julian then switched his target and fucked Celosia as she was tied to the bed, he made her scream in pleasure and made her submit to him in an hour but he continued to ruin her pussy, he even told Bryony to record everything so he can take it back to his fianc¨¦es and show them how much fun he had. After he was done with the two, he returned back to his apartment and was greeted by his fianc¨¦es in sexy lingerie, he pulled out the video he just recorded and had even more fun with the two. The day went well, another month went by again and Cynthia also came to Kalos because she was jealous of how much time Chloe and Daisy were getting to spend with Julian, Julian also made sure that she doesn''t feel left out and gave her all the time he had. After another month, the day Julian has been waiting for finally arrived, the league is about to start and people from all over the world are already traveling to Kalos to witness the grand event. It was time for Julian to hit the road again, since it''s the league season, all three of his fianc¨¦es also got very busy, Chloe who is a partner of the league has to visit multiple shows and also act as a promoter. Daisy being a professional groomer also has a very high demand right now because of all the massive foreign clients that havee here. Cynthia being a champion is also very busy working with the league as she found out about Team re and their ns from Julian. Julian''s Snover also evolved into a powerful Abomasnow who is now not scared of anyone, he has be super confident and doesn''t fear people anymore, he also caught up to others and has be an essential part of Julian''s Kalos team. ____________________ Julian won''t have to travel anywhere because the league will be held here in Lumiose city, he just has to wait for things to start. The league will start in a weak and the city is already being crowded by people, he already started seeing trainersing to the city and renting ces for the next whole month or two, since Lumiose city is massive it can easily fit hundreds and thousands of people that wille to stay here for the month her two. Seeing how busy the city was getting, Julian knew that this league was going to be big, the biggest league to this day in Kalos, with research on Mega Evolution bing more public and people finding out how it all really works, now more people have ess to it, even though it is a small about, it will still raise the level ofpetitors in the league. Julian is very interested in this year''s Kalos league''s participants, he wondered if participants this time will be as good as the ones in Unova league, he then wondered about Yesh and wondered how the boy is doing, he was the only trainer with so much potential that he could rival Julian in the near future. With all these new trainers in front of him Julian is ready for his next league victory, he didn''t waste any time and registered himself for the league, if he does it anyte, it will be very crowded and Julian really doesn''t like crowded ces. After his registrations, things went as he expected, the poption of the city kept increasing, not only trainers from Kalos, but trainers from all over the world were here to watch the Kalos league, celebrities, sports stars, influential people, millionaires, billionaires, many came to Lumiose city to get a glimpse of the grand Kalos league. And Julian is one of its main attractions, everyone knows Julian is going to participate in the Kalos League, and like every other league he has participated in, people want to see if there is a trainer that can dethrone him from the peak and take his ce. Chapter 1147 - The First Opponent The opening ceremony of the league was as grand as ever, people filled up the streets as they watched the parade going through the streets towards the massive stadium that is next to the prism tower. This is where the league will be held, Julian enjoyed his time watching the parade, and all the celebrations that took ce during the time of the pre-league ceremony, the passing of the torch, and lighting up the Moltres me were done like every other league. Trainers flooded the streets during thest two days before the league starts as many still had to register for the league. Julian didn''t do much during these times, he just had fun with his fianc¨¦es, training now won''t matter because his pokemons won''t have any significant improvements in a week, he has already trained them enough for the league and any further development will take them months from now on. ________________ The day of the league was here, Julian opened his eyes and found Cynthia sleeping to his right and Chloe to his left, Daisy had her hands over Chloe and cuddled against her. He got up from his bed without disturbing the girls and got ready, it''s early but the streets are already bursting with people. Since it''s the first day of the league, there will be multiple battles throughout the day and people are here toe and watch them. Most of them are here for watching the battles, but some are here to learn as they n to be trainers, some of theme here to record these battles and post them online as these get a lot of views. Julian stopped looking outside and started preparing for the day, he cleaned up and made breakfast for himself and his fianc¨¦es, once they were done eating, all of them made their way towards the stadium as they wanted to support Julian, even though they know he is going to win, they still like to do so as they are supportive and loving fianc¨¦es. When they got there, they didn''t have to wait like others, since Julian is a participant, he didn''t need to line up, and his fianc¨¦es have a VIP backstage ess pass so they could join him. Julian''s first opponent has not been selected yet as it will be randomly selected by aputer, it didn''t matter to Julian, he just hoped that his first opponent is not the strongest trainer in the league because the rest of the league will be pretty boring if he takes out the strongest opponent in the very first round. Julian waited for the first round to start, he was soon informed by a worker that trainers who are participating are asked to wait in the waiting area, Julian knew it was time so he bid farewell to his fianc¨¦es while they made their way towards the VIP lounge where they can watch the battles in peace. Julian was escorted to the trainer''s waiting room, as soon as Julian entered the room, the whole room went quiet as the trainers inside noticed Julian, they were surprised to see him here, even though they all know that Julian will be participating it was still very intimidating for these trainers to be in the same room as him, they are normal trainers and most of them have just started their trainer''s journey or are second or third timer. Julian, on the other hand, is a multi-time champion, he has won all the leagues he has participated in,pared to any other trainer in this world, Julian is the only one with such a high sess rate. Most trainers would be intimidated toe face to face with him and would be really worried if they are the ones who are going to battle him. Julian saw how tense the atmosphere of the waiting room got as he entered but he didn''t care, he just walked in, found and seat, and sat down waiting for his turn, just like every other league, the Kalos league has thousands of trainers who have earned eight gym badges and now it is time for the league to weed them out so only 128 trainers remain and these 128 will move on to the main league. Julian didn''t have to wait long at all, he was called up along with a few more trainers as multiple battles will be held in small battlefields at the same time. As Julian entered one of the smaller stadiums and when the crowd noticed him, they burst into cheer, they started to shout his name as loud as they could, Julian also looked at the crowd and waved back at them, the other trainers present in the stadium were envious of Julian seeing how the crowd views him, they look at him as a messiah. Only one trainer on the battlefield was not so envious or thrilled as others because he is Julian''s very first opponent, when he found out that his very first opponent will be Julian, his dream of being the 128 of this year''s League shattered, he wanted to get to the top 128 positions and maybe even further and then ask his lifelong crush out on a date. He believed being in the top 128 will surely impress the girl he likes but now his dreams and desire are shattered, his very first hurdle is The Julian, even champions of several regions couldn''t defeat him, how could he, a trainer with little experiencepare to Julian and his monster-like pokemons. Many referees took the battlefields they were assigned to and asked the trainers to get ready, Julian took his position on the battlefield and looked at his opponent, a young teenager about 15 to 16 years old is standing opposite of him and is quite nervous and down, Julian understood the boy but he couldn''t do much. Anyone would be down and depressed if they were Julian''s very first opponent. Chapter 1148 - The First Battle Julian looked at the young trainer in front of him and felt pity for him, Julian always felt pity for his very first opponent during the league, no matter how good of a trainer they are or how strong of a pokemon they have, they will have less chance of advancing to the top 128. If they were facing some other trainer they would at least have a fighting chance to advance into the top 128 without suffering any major loss but if they are facing Julian in their very first battle, they will lose and they will have to go on and win three continuous battle and that might still not guarantee their ce in the top 128, these people who have three wins and one loss will have to face each other and fill out the remaining spots. Julian watched as the trainer in front of him struggled to take his spot in nervousness, once he finally took his spot the annoyed referee began the battle as soon as he could. Referee "This will be a one vs one pokemon battle, both trainers can choose any pokemon of their choosing, the winner will advance and battle other trainers, trainers with four-nil records will automatically advance to the top 128, trainers with three victories and one loss will battle others with the same record to advance to the top 128, any trainer with more than one loss will be eliminated from the tournament". The Referee exined, hearing the rules, Julian''s opponent started to feel the pressure, he knew that he will have to win the next three rounds so that he can have a chance to advance to the top 128 and get enough credit to ask out the girl of his dream. Referee "Both trainers choose your pokemon". He said. Julian didn''t waste any time and sent out his very first pokemon into the battlefield, his first pokemon to enter the league is Abomasnow, Abomasnow entered the battlefield and roared, he started to beat his chest and spewed out snow out of his mouth, this Abomasnow doesn''t resemble the timid and scared Snover that Julian had rescued. It is now a confident and powerful pokemon that can stand on its own, Julian''s opponent hesitated but couldn''t dy any further, seeing Julian''s choice, the opponent decided to use a fire type pokemon as it will have an advantage over a pokemon like Abomasnow which is four times weaker to fire type attacks. He sent out a Talonme, Julian looked at the Talonme and saw that it was quite well trained but it is no way near Abomasnow strength, it of course has a winning chance if Julian''s opponent is the best trainer in the world but Julian doubts it. Now that both trainers have their pokemon on the battlefield, the referee didn''t fool around and started the battle. Referee "You may begin the battle" He said and waved the gs in his hand. As soon as the referee gave the signal, Julian''s opponent made the move, he was not going to give Julian any time to attack him, he will go down hitting hard and fast. "Use re Blitz". The teenage trainer shouted with a lot of passion and dedication behind it, hearing his order, his Talonme flew high up in the air and dove down at Abomasnow with full speed, its body sparked mes and soon got engulfed by it, the temperature of the mes around its body was pretty high and it also seems to be highly explosive as well. In a matter of a few seconds, Talonme was already very close to Abomasnow and no matter how tough Abomasnow is, a powerful attack like re Blitz will hurt. Julian saw the daring move from his opponent and was impressed but this was also suicidal in Julian''s eyes, he is going to start this league with a bang. Julian "Use Focus Punch" Hearing Julian''smand, Abomasnow started to channel all his power in his right fist and waited for the veryst second till Talonme came in striking distance. As soon as Talonme got a meter away from Abomasnow, he punched, a powerful straight right, his right hand glowed white in color filled with destructive energy. As both moves came in contact, the force that is created shook the whole battlefield, even other battles that were being held in the vicinity were forced to stop as they felt the powerful shockwave wash through the whole battlefield. Everyone both in and out of the battlefield had their attention to the massive explosion that just took ce, a second after, the Talonme could be seen shooting out of the mushroom cloud leaving behind a trail of smoke. The Talonme then crashed right in front of its trainer, knocked out cold, the crowd then burst into cheer and loud apuse, the name of Julian echoed all over the stadium as they cheered for him. As the smoke cleared up, Abomasnow could be seen standing with scratches on his right arm while his whole body is covered in ck marks, they are not cuts or burn marks, they are dust from smoke, the only visible injury is on his hand. Referee "Talonme is unable to battle, Abomasnow wins.. 1-0 in favor of trainer Julian". Chapter 1149 - The League Continues Julian''s opponent is shocked, he thought that he would at least be able to drag this battle for two to three moves but he waspletely wrong, the very first exchange resulted in his loss. He sighed and sent his Talonme back to its Pokeball and left the battlefield, he ns to win the next three battles so he can have a chance to advance to the top 128. Julian also went back to the locker room and waited for his next battle which should be today, he will have toe here again and battle two more times tomorrow before he can make it to the top 128 with a perfect 4-0 record. After a few hours, Julian was called again into the battlefield and he won again with Dragalge using just one Scald. Julian then returned to his apartment where he was greeted by his three beautiful fianc¨¦es who pleasured him for the rest of the night, before and after dinner, it was pure bliss. To this day, there has not been a day or night that these four of them were not having fun, even the security guards sometimes got some enjoyment from their constant fucking, once he even saw Julian fucking a beautiful maid inside their room with their door unlocked, this maides to the apartment for the daily house cleaning, what surprised the guard more was Julian was fucking the maid in front of Chloe, his fianc¨¦e and she seems to be enjoying it. From then the maid also became a frequent visitor, just like today, the regr guard who is guarding the front entrance like usual saw the beautiful brown-headed maid walk into the apartment again, the guard is very jealous of Julian, this man gets to fuck four beautiful women every day but he is also impressed by his stamina. And like always the moans started, they were as loud as ever, maybe even louder as intensity seems to increase every time. The guard only sigh and think of something else to hide his boner _________________________ Another day went by, the second day of the league and Julian once again visited the stadium and had two very easy battles and directly advanced to the top 128. He also kept eyes on other trainers that could possibly put up a challenge for Julian and he did see some, Ash was once again amongst them and Julian could see he has improved a lot this time, his instructions are more precise and he has also learned how to hide one move behind the other, some of his pokemons are also able to master switching moves midway. It is a very hard skill to master, switching a move midway is very hard and Julian has not seen many pokemons who are able to do so, Ash has achieved it with two of his pokemons, one is his Pikachu and the other is his Greninja. Julian didn''t expect Ash''s Greninja to be so good, he had seen it when it was just a Froakie and he recognized its potential but its growth has surprised even Julian. Ash''s Greninja can easilypete with Julian''s pokemon and now Julian is excited to see how things go, he wants to battle Ash but to do that, Ash will have to win every battle till they meet, it can be at the finals or it can be earlier in the tournament. And Julian will be waiting for it, Ash is not the only one who has caught Julian''s attention during this time period, there is also in, the trainer who he battled at Sycamore''sb, this young trainer also seems to be working for Lysander but to Julian, he seems innocent. There is also another trainer that caught Julian''s attention and it is a middle-aged man who seems to specialize in dragon type pokemons, Julian is looking forward to battling this man as well, there are also other trainers who caught Julian''s attention but they are clearly hiding their strength so Julian doesn''t have an urate reading over them but he knows that they are strong as well. With still three days left for the top 128 to start, Julian had nothing to do but continue watching the tournament, there are still some trainers that have not had four battles and Julian wants to see if there are any other trainers that he should keep an eye for. His fianc¨¦es are busy with their work so they are currently not home, Julian himself made his way to the stadium and watched all the battles that are still to take ce. He didn''t care about trainers who have a loss in their record because they couldn''t win against theirpetition, they will fail in the future, his interest is with the ones who still have their record intact and are still holding back. Some of them still have not finished battling so there is still a lot of battles to watch. Chapter 1150 - The Knockout Begins Julian spent another few days watching the league and enjoying his time with his fianc¨¦es, the preliminaries finally came to an end, the top 128 are selected and the knockout rounds are about to begin. This day was like every other day but the voice of people is much louder as the preliminaries are over and the main yers of this tournament are finally revealed, these 128 are the best of the best in Kalos. from now on they don''t even need to win the league to go big. Just being in the top 128 will grant them a lot of opportunities, some of them get scouted by pokemon rangers while some of them could be hired by the league themselves and make a great agent out of them. From here on, the lives of these trainers are set and their efforts to get here have set them up for their future. But now the real fight begins, the better their position on the tournament, the better they will get treated by people who want to hire/recruit them. Julian looked out of his apartment and saw people are already making their way towards the grand stadium, Julian hasn''t checked out his opponent yet but from what he has found online about him, he is better than a normal trainer but he is not the one to look out for. Julian got ready as he is the trainer to start of the top 128, his battle will be the first one to be witnessed by the audience and the world, so he has to get to the stadium, this also exins why there are so many people rushing to the stadium early in the morning. Julian put on his long ck coat, with Crystal in its small pocket, and headed to the stadium apanied by his fianc¨¦es. When he got there, the stadium was crowded and lively, not wanting to grab any attention, he sneaked into the trainer''s entrance without being noticed by the crowd, his fianc¨¦es took the VIP entrance and went up to watch the battle through a private room. Julian headed towards the waiting room and entered, as soon as he entered the whole room went silent as the other trainers inside the room looked at him, some of them knew they will have to face him in the league. If they win, this frustrated some of them while some of them were excited, some cursed him for participating in this league. They wondered why would he participate in this league even after winning so many of them but they couldn''t do anything but think about it, they have no confidence to say that to his face. Some of the trainers were not sour like them, some of them were genuinely excited to face Julian and learn more, they are rather interested in improving themselves than going after fame, money, and status, they only cared about advancing and growing strong with their pokemons. Julian felt all these gazes directed towards him but he didn''t care, he just found and seat and sat down waiting for his call, the uing battle would be him showing off his powers, telling his future opponents that he won''t be going easy on them, he wants to end it with a bang, just like in the preliminaries. After half an hour, the voice of the audience grew louder and louder as the start of the league wasmencing, the sound of fireworks shooting up the sky and bursting, the voice of the announcer yelling out of excitement. Julian knew it was time, a worker wearing a backstage uniform walked towards him and informed him it was time for him to take the stage. Julian nodded and got up from his seat and headed towards the battlefield, he walked down the passageway, and the closer he got to the exit, the louder the voice of the audience became, every time he does this a chill run down his spine, not from fear but from excitement, he knows how much people love him, seeing so many people support and cheer for him is intoxicating, it makes one feel they are different from others, luckily Julian doesn''t drown himself in it because he would get lost and distracted. Announcer "IT''S TIME, THE MOMENT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR, IT''S TIME FOR THE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS,dies, gentlemen, and pokemons, it''s time for the battle you all have been waiting for, the battle that has been talked about since the preliminaries ended, the battle which is expected to end in a st. Yes, it''s that battle, the battle in which the greatest trainer to ever step his foot in the league is participating, yes, it''s the battle between the greatest trainer of all time JULIANNNNN, and his opponent John (says with a straight face). Let''s first wee trainer John, he is an uing trainer who is surely going to have a good future, he passed the preliminaries with the record of four wins and 1 loss, wee John" The announcer introduced John. Trainer John walked into the massive battlefield nervously, as soon as he entered the crowd started to boo him pretty viciously, it was not that he was a bad trainer, someone arrogant or cocky, he was just a normal trainer, his only mistake for being booed is because he was chosen by theputer to be Julian''s very first opponent in the knockout rounds. John whose opponent is Julian who has an overwhelming fan following became the target of these people, John could not help but cry in his thoughts John ''Man, I just wanted to participate in the league and give it my all. Why did it have to end like this? Arceus you are cruel, this is not fair''. John thought and took his position on the battlefield as he got showered with boos, his dream of getting cheered by these people after putting a hard-fought and well-executed battle was put to an end. Announcer "NOW PEOPLE AND POKEMON, IT''S TIME, LET''S GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE NEST TRAINER, THE ONE YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING TO WATCH, PLEASE WELCOME JULIAANNNNNNNNNNNNN" The announcer gave it his all, almost hurting his throat in the process as he introduced Julian, if this goes on the league will have to hire a new announcer. Hearing his name, Julian made his way into the battlefield. Chapter 1151 - The Knockouts (1) Julian entered the battlefield as he heard his name being called by the announcer, as soon as he entered the battlefield, the boos turned into cheer as they saw Julian, his fans went crazy like always, people were shouting out of their lungs cheering him. The scene burst into a never-ending cheer, Julian smiled and waved back at the crowd and made his way towards his position, he looked at his opponent and felt pity, he heard how the people booed his opponent for no reason but he doesn''t have the power to change people''s mind unless he asks his Gengar to perform mass hypnosis on these people and with how strong Gengar has gotten, it won''t be difficult for him. The crowd doesn''t seem to be slowing down at all, they kept on cheering for Julian, his name engulfed the whole city, that''s how loud the crowd was. The referee took his spot on the battlefield, wearing an official league uniform, he had a red and a blue g in both of his hands, he then looked at both trainers and began to exin the rules of the battle. Referee "This battle will be a two vs two pokemon battle, both trainers are allowed to switch pokemon in the middle of the battle, the trainer with no pokemon at the end of the battle will lose and get eliminated from the tournament while the winner will advance to the next stage. Am I clear?" Getting a nod from both parties, the referee continued. Referee "Both trainers, choose your pokemon". The referee called. Julian decided to go first and sent out his witzer into the battlefield, seeing Julian''s witzer, the crowd got excited and cheered for him as well, trainers who have a witzer with them also felt proud that Julian is using the same pokemon they own. Seeing Julian''s choice, his opponent made a smart decision and sent out a grass-type pokemon, the pokemon he sent out is a Carnivine, seeing his choice surprised Julian because Carnivine is really not preferred by any trainers because of their nature and how hard it is to train them. They are also very vicious, if someone gets trapped inside its mouth, it can lead to severe damage from acid and poison which is stored inside its mouth and if trapped inside for long, it will lead to death. Many trainers avoid this pokemon but when ites to performance, this pokemon is very good, it has an all-around stat with very good Attack and Special attack, both of its defenses are good and with the ability Levitate, it ispletely immune to Ground-type moves. If Julian had encountered one in the wild, he would not hesitate to catch one as he would like the challenge of training such a pokemon. Now he is a little impressed by his opponent, to train a Carnivine to this level is very good, Julian can see that it has been well trained and raised but it doesn''t meet the gold standard that Julian looks for in an opponent. With both pokemons on the battlefield, the referee wasted very little time and raised both gs up in the air, and called for the battle to begin. Referee "Let the battle being" With the referee''s call, Julian''s opponent John made his move, he knows that waiting for Julian to make a move is not a wise decision but attacking first has not been useful against his either. John "Carnivine, use Leaf Tornado" John called for a special attack from the very beginning so that he can drag this battle a little further than possible, the Carnivine opened its mouth wide open and shot numerous leaves out of it, these leaves started to spin and form a massive tornado. The Carnivine then mmed the tornado towards witzer. Julian "witzer, use Water Pulse" Julian ordered. witzer snapped open his massive w which caused a ripple, then a pulsing ball made of water energy started to form between the w''s mouth, the ball started to spin rapidly creating a humming sound. As the tornado reached halfway through the battlefield, witzer aimed directly at Carnivine and shot the Water Pulse, the Water Pulse zoomed through the air splitting the wind and hitting the iing Leaf Tornado, the Water Pulse made contact with the tornado and went right through it creating a hole whichpletely destroyed the tornado. The Water Pulse then continued towards Carnivine still filled with power. John "Quick, dodge" John ordered and called for a dodge, Carnivine saw the iing attack and moved to the side dodging the Water Pulse by an inch. Julian "End it, Scald" Julian called and without wasting any time, witzer hot a scalding hot stream of water at Carnivine, the speed of this Scald is much faster than the Water Pulse. Carnivine saw the iing attack and moved to the side again but this time there is no escaping it, witzer''s eyes are locked onto it, as Carnivine moved, witzer moved while continuing to use Scald. The Scald shed Carnivine like a water de and sent it flying through the air and was tossed out of the battlefield, the referee rushed close to the Carnivine and checked it. Referee "Carnivine is unable to battle, witzer wins"/ The Referee called for the result as he confirmed that Carnivine was knocked out. Chapter 1152 - The Knockouts (2) With John''s first pokemon out of the battle, he only has one pokemon left in his team and he has to be careful with his next choice, even though he feels that no matter what his choice it won''t change the oue of this battle, he is willing to give it a try and see how it goes. He sent his Carnivine back to its Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield, his ace, his Chesnaught. The giant pokemon entered the battlefield and looked at the witzer in front of it, it didn''t know how the previous battle went but seeing that the opponent ispletely unharmed, the Chesnaught thought that this is the final round. Julian looked at the Chesnaught and didn''t think much of it, even though it is much better than an average pokemon, it doesn''t stand out amongst the other Chesnaught. The referee once again waved off the gs and started the battle. Julian "Use Water Pulse" Julian ordered, he wanted to test what this Chesnaught has in store for him, hearing hismand witzer aimed his w at the Chesnaught and shot a powerful Water Pulse at it, the Water Pulse zoomed through the air locked onto its target. John "Use Spiky Shield" John ordered. Chesnaught turned its back at the Water Pulse and activated Spiky Shield, a green aura covered its back forming a shield covered in long vicious spikes. The Water Pulse crashed into the Spiky Shield and shattered but the Spiky Shield is still intact. Julian was surprised but continued with his attack, he called for a Scald which will be much more effective against a grass-type move because of its burning effect. witzer aimed and shot a powerful stream of hot water at Chesnaught, Chesnaught continued to face its back towards witzer, the Scald made contact with the Spiky Shield and created a powerful st. The Scald started to burn through the energy shield, one of the spikes which are directly under the pressure of the Scald shattered causing cracks to spread across the whole shield. The shield then suddenly shattered and the Scald went through and hit the hard shell of Chesnaught, though the Scald didn''t cause too much damage because of Chesnaught''s shield, the debuff of the Scald took effect and Chesnaught started to get burned. mes red up around Chesnaught''s body and burned it bringing the giant to its knee. Now that it is vulnerable, Julian decided to take this chance and end this battle. Julian "Finish this, Crab Hammer" With Julian''s call, witzer made its move and shot towards the Chesnaught at full speed, his massive w glowed as it charged up with energy. John "Quick get up and use Hammer Arm" John made a quick decision and called for a Hammer Arm, the Chesnaught turned around and swung at witzer with full power, both attacks collided creating a powerful shockwave. The very next second Chesnaught could be seen rolling out of the smoke at extreme speed, it rolled multiple times cracking the ground beneath and stopped right out of the battlefield, the referee rushed towards the Chesnaught. Once the referee checked on the Chesnaught, he called the result. Referee "Chesnaught is unable to battle, the winner of this battle is trainer Julian" Once the referee called out the result, the crowd burst into another loud cheer in Julian''s favor, they didn''t hold back at all, they became louder and louder as they cheered for Julian and his win. His opponent John didn''t feel anything, at the end of the day, this is what he expected, he never thought he would win this battle, and since this battle went as he expected he wasn''t disappointed. He was just sad that this will be the end of his journey here in the league. With the results out, Julian has no reason to stay behind, he called his pokemon back and walked out of the battlefield while his fans still continued to cheer for him. Julian then headed towards the VIP section and watched the battles that took ce after him, during the battle, he took notice of a particr trainer that stood out a lotpared to others, this trainer is wearing a ck hooded jacket just like Julian''s and the choice of his pokemons were simr to the ones Julian had used before. At first, he didn''t think much but he soon noticed something, this person was trying to imitate him, even though it was not urate to his style, it was pretty close. Julian wondered who this person is and what is his purpose to imitate him, is he just a big fan obsessed with Julian or does he have something else to aplish. By now not many people have noticed this trainer at all, his ace seems to be a very powerful Infernape, he also has a Garchomp and a Tyranitar with him. Julian decided to watch this person a little more before he takes an action against him, after the very first round of the top 128 ended, Julian decided it was time to return to his apartment Julian left the stadium as he has nothing left to do here, he has no battles today, his next battle will be the day after tomorrow after all other trainers have had their battle. Julian returned to his apartment where he was greeted by Chloe who arrived early, Daisy and Cynthia were busy with their work so they couldn''t make it, having nothing else to do here as well, the two started to get it on. Chloe''s moan could be heard all over the room and it also leaked out of their walls. Julian also maintained a close watch on the remaining of the Top 128 on the second day, he saw Ash advancing to the top 64 along with the trainers that Julian thought would end up in the higher rankings. Chapter 1153 - The Knockouts (3) With the top 128ing to an end, the top 64 started, today is the day Julian will have to battle again and by now the trainers won''t be chosen randomly, even though the league will advertise it as being randomized by aputer but Julian knows that is not the case. The league deliberately chooses trainers of their liking to face each other so that the final rounds will be more exciting and bring in more eyes on them. The league earns a lot of money from these league tournaments so they will do anything to get more eyes on the final rounds of this tournament, Julian also knows that he won''t encounter any big names here in this top 64 as well. When the herd is finally thinned down to the best of the best, that is when the league hits its highest point, the league also knows this so they manipte the selection of trainers. The fans also don''t think much about it as well as they really don''t care, they get to see the best of the best duke out on the grandest stage of them all so why would they have anything toin about. And as Julian had thought, his next opponent was someone who is the weakest trainer in the top 64 and it was not just him, every strong trainer was put up against very powerful trainers, by now the league has an idea of who is going to make it to the final rounds. And if by some chance a weaker opponent by their standard wins, it''s even better for them as this trainer will be seen as a dark horse who appeared out of nowhere and defeated the odds. The league also had to be careful and not allow this mysterious trainer to get eliminated before the big leagues so they made sure to match up Julian with the weakest trainer they know of. If they had just randomly chosen a trainer who happen to be this hidden master, he would have been eliminated and forgotten by everyone, if this mysterious dark horse existed they wanted them to shock the world by making an upset. So if this trainer who could be a potential dark horsees across Julian in the very first round, they will miss out on an opportunity, so this is why the league always maniptes these match cards, making the weaker opponent face stronger opponents based on their battle records. ________________ Now that Julian has a name of his opponent, he looked into this girl, she is a very good trainer but not the best here, she already has a loss in her record because of a loss from the preliminary rounds, she is very lucky that she made it to the top 64. From now on, it doesn''t matter who she faces, she will be going home, every trainer here is stronger than her, maybe a few of them were on her level but they soon will be eliminated as well. Julian got ready and headed towards the grand stadium for his uing battle with this female trainer. When he got to the grand stadium and entered the waiting room, it was the same reaction as before, trainers were nervous around him. Since he is not the first person to enter the battlefield this time, he found himself in a nice quiet corner to sit down and watch the uing battles, the tournament soon started, and the first trainers were called in to start the top 64 tournaments. The first trainer to walk in is a big buff man who is shirtless showing off his massive muscles, he also has tribal paintings all over his body, this trainer had a big grin over his face as he expects to demolish his opponent and advance easily. The crowd also cheered for him as he seems to be one of the favorites to reach the finals in this league tournament, the crowd cheered for this buff man as he is a reurring participant in the league,st time he came and dominated the scene before his run was put to an end in the finals by the previous winner of the Kalos league who went on and defeated the four elite four members but lost to Diantha. "This time, I am going to win the league and be the champion!" He dered caused the crowd to burst, they were a mixture of boos and cheers, cheers are from his fans while boos were from people who supported other trainers in the league and most of them were from Julian''s fans. And since most of the people are here to see Julian, the boos were much louder than the cheer, even though he heard the boos from the crowd the smile on the big buff man didn''t disappear. He is confident in his ability to advance to the finals and take on Julian. Then his opponent entered the battlefield, the announcer announced his name is Julio, this trainer is tall and wearing a ck long coat simr to Julian but unlike Julian, he has his head covered with a hood so people are not able to see his face. The crowd didn''t know who this person was as they never noticed him nor did he have any presence up till now in the league but they continued to cheer. Julian also carefully watched this guy named Julio because he has taken notice of him because of his battle style which is very simr to his. Julian ''I wonder how much he can imitate me'' Julian thought and smirked as he wanted to see how much simr Julio is to him. Chapter 1154 - The Knockouts (4) The big buff dude looked at his opponent who just entered the battlefield and smirked, he pitied this man for being one of his victims. He decided to embarrass this man and send him back to his mom where he can cry and suck on her tits. "I don''t want to be an asshole but dude, I am going to destroy you and show these people how strong I am,st time I didn''t win the league but this time I am going to dominate everyone and that includes Julian as well, you will just be a stepping stone in my path". The big buff dude dered but the man in the ck jacket didn''t say anything, he just stood there with no reaction. Seeing that both trainers are on the battlefield, the referee didn''t waste any time and started to battle but before that, he exined the rules of the battle. Just like every battle, this will be a two vs two pokemon battle, the winner will advance to the top 32 while the loser will be eliminated since this is the knockout round. The big buff dude whoes name is Titus justughed as he heard the rules, even though it''s the same as before, he couldn''t help but think about advancing forward and winning the whole thing and then go on to challenge the champion and take her ce. The guy in ck, Julio, didn''t say and word and continued to stand still in his position, the referee then called for both of them to send out their pokemons so that the battle can begin. Titus went first and sent out a massive Aggron to the battlefield, the Aggron entered the battlefield and shook everyone to their core with its powerful roar, then the crowd looked at the guy in the ck jacket, Julio to send out his pokemon, as they waited in anticipation, Julio slowly pulled out his Pokeball and sent out his first pokemon into the battlefield as well. Julian had seen this pokemon before, it''s a Tyranitar that Julio had used before, though this Tyranitar is not as big as Julian''s it still gives off a very powerful and intimidating aura. Titus "Hahahaha, I see, you want to go head to head with my Aggron, too bad, my Aggron is the strongest pokemon every, you are out of luck boy" He said and continued tough while his opponent had no response for him, the referee then looked at both trainers and asked them if they are ready for battle, Titus yelled out loud that he is ready while Julio just nodded his head. With this, the battle started with the wave of the gs in the referee''s hand. Titus "Aggron, use Tackle" He said. He wanted to check out his opponent''s pokemon strength before he finishes it off in style. Julio "Counter with Tackle" The man in the ck jacket said with an ominous voice, hearing his voice would send a chill down anyone''s spine, luckily no one was near him to listen to his voice carefully. Aggron first charged at Tyranitar at full speed, each of its steps caused the ground to quiver but as soon as the Tyranitar heard its order, it also charged towards the Aggron. With Tyranitar also joining the charge, the ground shook even more, once both pokemons made contact, they shed and locked onto each other with their hands and it became a test of strength challenge. Titus was ready for this as he had a big smile on his face but this smile soon disappeared because he saw his Aggron being pushed back by the Tyranitar. Julian who was keeping an eye on the battle was not surprised by this oue at all, Tyranitars are genuinely a lot stronger than Aggrons, the field where Aggron has an advantage over Tyranitars is its defense department, it can tank hits a lot better than Tyranitars. The smile on Titus''s face slowly disappeared and turned into a frown as he saw his Aggron gets pushed back and then pressed down on the ground as it went on its knees, its arms were shaking as it couldn''t handle Tyranitar''s strength at all. Titus "Use sh Canon" Seeing that his Aggron might get pinned to the ground, Titus knew that it was time for him to retaliate so his Aggron doesn''t end up in such a state, his Aggron looked straight into the fierce eyes of the Tyranitar and opened its mouth wide open to hit it with a point ck sh Canon. Julio "Dark Pulse" But before Aggron could even make the attack Julio called out a move to counter, Tyranitar also opened its jaws wide open and sted a powerful Dark Pulse down at Aggron''s mouth. Aggron also shot the sh Canon at the same time, as the two moves collided with each other at Point ck range, the energy that it created was shocking, the shockwave was so powerful and fast that the stadium''s energy shield got activated and protected the audience from getting hit by it. A massive mushroom cloud formed in the middle of the battlefield and cracks could be seen spreading around it. Everyone in the audience cheered after seeing this, they didn''t expect they would see such a power-packed battle in the very first round and now they are waiting patiently for the mushroom cloud to clear up to see who the winner of that exchange is. Chapter 1155 - The Knockouts (5) The crowd is on the edge of their seats as they watched the mushroom cloud slowly disappear into thin air and what is revealed surprised them. They saw a massive crater in the middle of the battlefield with two pokemons right in the middle of it, Tyranitar still standing while looking down on the Aggron while the Aggron is on its knees looking down. Smoke could be seen rising of both pokemons, the crowd is really surprised after seeing this result, even after such a huge explosion neither party moved one bit but soon some of them started to notice things are not right. The referee also noticed something was off and approached the two pokemon and when he got near he saw that Aggron was knocked out cold, it''s just kneeling on the ground unconscious while the Tyranitar is still conscious and looking down on its opponent with its fierce cold eyes. The referee gulped down his saliva as he looked at the Tyranitar and announced the result. Referee "Aggron is unable to battle, Tyranitar wins" The referee called the result, as soon as he announced the result, the silent crowd gasped in shock and then burst into cheer, they didn''t expect this kind of end at the very first round and this trainer that they have been overlooking now looks very formidable. Titus was the most shocked of them all, his Aggron was his ace for this league and it got knocked out on the very first exchange, he clenched his teeth and cursed his bad luck and sent his Aggron back to its Pokeball, and sent out his next pokemon. A Pangoro entered the battlefield, just like his Aggron this Pangoro looks powerful and menacing but how would it fare against the mighty Tyranitar of Julio. If one just looks at the typing of these pokemon, one would easily favor the Pangoro as it has a 4x times advantage over the Tyranitar because of its fighting time as Tyranitar is 4x weak to fighting type attacks but it really doesn''t make any difference because many pokemons can learn a fighting type move. The real question is if Pangoro can take hits from Tyranitar, it was able to take down an Aggron which is clearly bulkier than it but Aggron are really not known for their special defense, Pangoro does have a little better special defensepared to Aggron but the difference is so minimal that it won''t even matter in the battle. From what everyone has witnessed, Tyranitar only needs one big hit to eliminate its opponent. Titus knew he has to be careful with his approach from now on, he severely underestimated his opponent and it cost him his ace, he is not going to make the same mistake again. Julio doesn''t seem to have any intention of switching his pokemon either so the battle was started again, this time Titus decided to go for the legs and bring down the giant. Titus "Use Low Sweep" Hearing hismand his Pangoro charged at Tyranitar at full speed but when it got close, it suddenly lowered its body and slid towards Tyranitar as fighting energy engulfed its legs, if this hits it will be able to bring down the giant and Titus will have a better chance of winning this battle. Julio "Stone Edge" Julio waited for the veryst moment to make this move, as soon as Pangoro got close to Tyranitar, it lifted one of its legs surrounding it with rock energy and smashed it hard on the ground causing a ripple to pass through the whole battlefield as suddenly a massive blue glowing rock shot out of the ground and impaled the iing Pangoro. The giant Pangoro that weighs over 150 kg wasunched high up in the sky, though it was not out closed, it is quite vulnerable right now and the damage that Stone Edge dealt stunned it. Julio "Finish it, Focus Punch" As Pangoro took flight, Tyranitar started to build up energy in its right hand and as soon as Pangoro came close to the ground Tyranitar smashed its right arm into Pangoro''s belly and sent it rolling through the battlefield across the lines and into the very edge of the battlefield. Everyone cheered as they thought that Pangoro was done but to their surprise, it still had some fighting spirit and wanted to get back to its feet, it was able to manage itself upon its legs but it was in a wobbly state. It made its way towards the center of the battlefield with all its energy but then copsed right in the middle as it has no ounce of energy inside it. The referee approached Pangoro to check on it and soon called for the result. Referee "Pangoro is unable to battle, Tyranitar wins, the trainer to advance to top 32 is trainer Julio" The referee called for a result which got a very loud pop, people were filled with surprise, shock, excitement, sadness, surprise, and shock because an unknown trainer defeated one of the favorite finalists, excitement because they wanted to see more of Julio''s battles and sadness for Titus as some of them wanted to see him advance as well. Chapter 1156 - The Knockouts (6) With this new darkhorse being the very first participant to enter the top 32, the crowd is not anticipating more dark horses to emerge but they were disappointed. Only Julio seem to be the only dark horse of this league tournament, the other battles took ce one after the other but the stronger trainer advanced as predicted. Soon it was Julian''s turn to enter the battlefield, as he was waiting in the waiting room he was called by an official, Julian got off his seat and headed towards the battlefield. Before he could even enter the crowd was going wild. The crowd chanted his name louder and louder which caused his blood to boil, no matter how powerful he gets, having hundreds and thousands of people chanting your name as loud as they could to show their support to you would always send a chill down your spine. Julian walked into the battlefield and was greeted by the crowd, he looked at them and waved at them, acknowledged them, and took his position on the battlefield, he then looked at his opponent standing on the other side of the battlefield. Just like before his opponent is not someone who meets up to Julian''s expectations, this trainer has skills but nonepared to the other trainers in this league, this trainer also got very lucky as he didn''t face any strong contenders until now. The chant of Julian''s name never stopped but the referee has to continue with the tournament and started the battle by first exining the rules. This will be another two vs two pokemon battle, he asked both trainers to send out their pokemons into the battlefield. Julian went first and sent out his Florges into the battlefield, seeing Julian''s choice his opponent sent out his most powerful pokemon into the battlefield. As the opponent''s Pokeball opened, a massive figure covered in light crashed on the battlefield, as the light faded away a massive Steelix was visible to everyone. A steel-type pokemon definitely has an advantage over a fairy-type pokemon like Florges but these advantages won''t matter to Julian. Steelix is a very bulky Pokemon and has ridiculous defense but it is not known for its special defense and Florges being a special attacker can easily look over through its defense and take the giant down. With both pokemons taking the center stage, the referee didn''t waste a moment and started the battle. Julian''s opponent didn''t want to wait at all, he made the very first move and called out for a Heavy m, Heavy m is a steel type move that deals more damage if the user is heavy, the heavier the user, the stronger the attack. The Steelix moved its whole body at astonishing speed and brought its massive tail crashing down on Florges. Though the attack has a lot of power behind it, it is slow a sluggish, if Florges gets hit by it, it will definitely be a devastating hit that might even end the battle in one move if it is critical, but it is also easy to counter as well. Julian "Use Protect" Julian ordered. Florges raised her arms and created a forcefield dome above her, the massive Steelix tail which is more than half its body length crashed hard on the forcefield, the sound created was that of thunder resonating in the sky. The crowd felt their bodies vibrate as they felt the impact of the collision. as soon as the impact took ce, the dome made of Florges''s energy vibrated but it didn''t go down nor did any cracks appear. This is due to Florges''s amazing control over her own energy, the energy she releases is denser and strongerpared to pokemons of the same level. Since the forcefield didn''t observe the brunt of the attack, there was only one way for it to go and that is where it came from. Steelix''s massive tail went straight up causing the big steel snake to lose bnce and its head came crashing down on the ground. Julian "Now finish it, Sr Beam" Julian ordered. now that the massive Steelix is down, it will take some time for it to rearrange itself and that''s enough time for Florges to charge up her Sr Beam. Florges''s angelic voice roared as she rose her hands once again and charged up the Sr Beam, the flowers around her neck started to glow brighter as she collected more sr energy. Steelix tried to lift its massive body and as it was halfway up, Florges finished charging up, she aimed and locked onto Steelix''s massive frame and shot the Sr Beam at it. Steelix saw the iing attack and turned its head away to protect its eyes but it was of no use. As soon as the Sr Beam made contact, Steelix''s body was pushed back into the ground, the Sr Beam continued to press down and Steelix got forced deeper and deeper into the battlefield, cracks started to spread all across the battlefield like spider webs. Florges finally stopped with her Sr Beam and the destruction that she left behind was visible to everyone, everyone saw the massive Steelix has been forced into the ground and was knocked out cold. That Sr Beam was someone else and every trainer wanted their pokemons to get their Sr Beam to such level. Julian''s opponent was not shocked by the oue at all, he was waiting when Julian will make his move and his pokemon will go down, he thought himself to be very lucky to be one of the top 64, he didn''t care about anything else. Chapter 1157 - The Knockouts (7) With his first pokemon down, Julian''s opponent sent out his second pokemon, though he has no chance of winning and he knows it, he still has hope ofnding a hit on Julian''s pokemon and maybe dealing a little damage. The second pokemon he sent out is a Seviper, the pokemon to enter the battlefield this time is a poison type. As soon as Seviper entered the battlefield, the referee called for the battle to start and Julian''s opponent once again made the first move. "Use Poison Jab''. The opponent called out and he seems to be very determined to at least win once exchange against Julian. Julian "Use Energy Balls" Julian called out. Florges extended her hand and suddenly multiple Energy Balls appeared around her and started to circle her, its speed kept on increasing which suddenly created a green glowing halo around Florges. The speed of these Energy Balls created a tornado around Florges which disyed how good Florges''s control over this attack is, the Energy Balls kept on spinning around her while creating a humming sound. She then locked onto her target and started to shoot the Energy Balls, each ball separated from the halo and went straight towards the Seviper, each Energy Ball tore through the air leaving behind a trail of light. Seviper saw the iing Energy Balls and panicked, it then moved swiftly using its slithery body and dodged a few Energy Balls by hair inch, each time the Energy Balls made contact with the ground that was dodged by Seviper created a deep pit. Due to Seviper''s slender figure, it was able to dodge the few first Energy Balls but there is no way it can dodge all of them, with the speed and uracy Florges is shooting them, one will hit and others will follow. After dodging the first four Energy Ball, the fifth one finallynded as Seviper was just a few meters away from Florges, as soon as the fifth Energy Ball made contact, Seviper''s whole world went upside down as its head was first smashed into the ground and it then recoiled up in the air causing its whole body to do a 360 spin in the air. The other Energy Balls soon followed and hit Seviper while its body was still doing a 360 in the air, its body was bent in half as the next Energy Ball connected and it was sent shooting through the air, Energy Balls followed right behind and as soon as it came in contact with the ground it got bombarded with the remaining Energy Balls. Dust rose up high in the air blocking everyone''s view but it didn''t matter because people already knew the result, they saw the devastating attack and no one believed that the Seviper survived that. Everyone present in the stadium was stunned by the disy of power from Florges, they didn''t even wait for the referee to announce the result before cheering for Julian and Florges, this was the battle they had been waiting to see. Till now Julian had been very reserved with his offense, he ended all his battles with one hit but this time he showed how he can up the ante of his pokemon''s moves to give a show to the public. As the dust cleared up everyone could see the Seviper pushed into the ground, around it was a massive pit with cracks covered all over it, there was no doubt in anyone''s mind that Seviper won''t get up. The referee announced the result without even taking a good look at the Seviper, like everyone he could also tell that Seviper won''t be getting up. Referee "Seviper is unable to battle, Florges wins. Hence trainer Julian advances to top 32". The referee announced the result while the crowd continued to cheer, Julian''s opponent sighed in disappointment as his run in this tournament has finallye to an end. He sent his Seviper back to its Pokeball and walked away and so did Julian, once both of them walked out, the tournament continued as more trainers were called so the winners can advance. Julian stayed behind as he wanted to see the remaining battles as well, he watched Ash battle with some girl with blond hair, even though the girl was skilled she was not a match to Ash and lost. Ash advanced very easily as well. There was also in who also advanced very easily with the help of his Charizard. The top 64 finally ended and now the top 32 begins. With the start of the top 32, every trainer still alive in the tournament is a big yer and now the battles would be more extreme than ever. Julian returned to his apartment andid down on his bed and wondered what he should do next, with the Kalos leagueing close to an end, Julian has no other n for his future, he wondered which regions he should go to next. He wants to visit Gr and see how a region that is out of the league''s jurisdiction functions, there are also other regions he is interested in, like Jhoto but he doesn''t know what he will do there, he didn''t go to Jhoto during the Jhoto league so he has no interest in it right now. As he was thinking about his future n his phone started to buzz, he picked it up and noticed a message from his trusted servant Ang. The message read that Lysander is on the move and he is nning to use Zygarde to cause havoc after the league ends. When Julian read this, he wondered if this was the n all along or if there was something more, Julian didn''t believe this was Lysander''s final goal. To use just Zygarde to take over the region is a stupid n, the other legendary pokemons that reside in Kalos won''t take this lightly and will take action and Julian also knows that Lysander has something else nned that no one knows about in Team re. Julian is more worried about that than Zygarde being used to destroy the city. Chapter 1158 - The Knockouts (8) Now that Julian has received Ang''s warning, he is prepared for Lysander, from what he learned, Lysander will make his move right after the league is over, till then no life will be in danger. Lysander has a Zygarde core under his control and he has brainwashed it and has taken control over it, with Zygarde core''s help he ns to take over Lumiose city and take hostage of its citizen and then ns to negotiate with the league to gain full control over every infrastructure in Kalos. Even Julian was surprised by Lysander''s n, he thought Lysander is just going to use brute force and take control but it seems that he has a phase 2 to his n, he wants to take control over everything in Kalos so he can easily kill off the resistance from the locals. Just taking over the region won''t cut it and Lysander knows, even if he takes over he will meet with resistance and the resistance will not be small, in this world, every other person is a trainer and has pokemon, the resistance from abined force of these people will be dangerous. But if Lysander can take control of every infrastructure in Kalos he will be able to control everything, from electricity to food, and by controlling these supplies, he can force most people to just submit to him. This is indeed a brilliant n from Lysander but Julian knows this is not the main n, there is something else that Lysander is hiding even from his closes associate except the fat guy that Ang warned him about. After thinking about it for a few minutes he informed Cynthia about Lysander''s n to take over the city, Cynthia knew that Julian has some of his servants inside Team re so she was not surprised by the information she received from Julian. She inquired more about this situation and wanted to know if she should take some action, but Julian warned her not to, if Lysander finds out that the league knows about his n he will definitely go into hiding and he will also find out that there is a mole in his organization and this will put his people in danger. With most of the power structure of Team re under Julian''s control, he can make sure that no innocent life is put in danger and by letting Lysander do whatever he is nning Julian can figure out what the real n he is trying so hard to hide. Julian wants to bring out n B and for that, he needs to let things go as Lysander has nned. He sent out another message to Ang and instructed her to do things per his requirement and put his phone away and spent the rest of the day doing nothing but watching tv. With everything in motion, Julian just had to wait it out, and wait it out he did. ______________________ After two days the top 32 began and Julian got ready for his big battle against the other top 32 contestants. When he arrived at the grand stadium it was already full, people were every trying to break barricades and get in but they were easily pushed back by the guards, the league puts a lot of effort into security, they didn''t want people to put themselves in danger to just witness battles that they could watch in their house. Julian entered the grand stadium through the trainer''s entrance and headed to the waiting room. When he walked in inside the waiting room he saw 15 more trainers inside waiting for the top 32 to finally begin and between these 15 trainers, he saw some interesting faces and a few familiar ones and one of them being Ash. As soon as Ash saw Julian he approached Julian enthusiastically alongside his Pikachu who is standing on his shoulder. Ash "Julian, you are finally here, I can''t wait to battle you again". Ash said. Julian "Sure, I would like to see how much you have improved but for you to challenge me, you need to defeat every trainer that you face". Julin said. Ash "Don''t worry about me, I will make sure to not lose to anyone" Ash replied and hit his chest with confidence. Julian "That''s good, you should concentrate on your opponent" Julian said and left Ash on his own so he can get prepared for his battle, his opponent is a trainer named Simon who has an undefeated streak in the tournament and seems to be a very promising trainer. Julian had seen him battle and was quite impressed by his skill so he is looking forward to seeing this battle between Ash and Simon. Soon the announcement of the battle started and Julian could already hear people getting excited, their roar shook the stadium as they demanded the trainers to take the stage. Ash will be the very first one to enter the battlefield with his opponent Simon. The league staff soon walked into the waiting room and informed Ash that he is up, Ash got up, took a deep breath, and walked into the battlefield. Julian watched the screen in the waiting room as Ash took the stage. As soon as Ash entered the crowd went wild, Ash is very famous because he is renowned as one of the strongest trainers and is already considered as a future champion because of all the des that he has achieved at such a young age, no trainer in the past has evere close to the sess Ash has under his belt. As Ash entered the battlefield so did his opponent, even though Simon is not as famous as Ash he certainly has a lot of fans, especially girls because of his good looks. People cheered for Simon as well and waited in anticipation for the battle to begin. Chapter 1159 - The Knockouts (9) Ash and Simon looked around in awe as they saw people on their feet cheering for him, Ash has been in this position many times but he still cannot get used to it. For a 10-year-old he has achieved heights that none of them has evere close to, his name echoed around the stadium louder than his opponents showing that he is clearly the favorite one here. Now that both of them have taken the stage, the referee also took his position and began exining the rules of this battle. Since there are only two stages before the final rounds start, these two rounds being the top 16, the rules of these two rounds are different. This will not be a regr pokemon battle but a double battle with both trainers using two pokemons at the same time. Since the league can change the rules every year, it is not a surprise to see a double battle in the middle of the tournament. With two rounds being double battles, it will quickly filter up trainers before the final rounds begin, this will help the league finish the conference earlier and it will save them a lot of money, it cost a lot of money to host this event just for a day so the longer the leagues stretch the conference it will cost them more. Referee "This will be a double battle, both trainers will send out two of their pokemons at the same time, the battle will end once both pokemons of a trainer are unable to battle, the winner will advance to the next round" After the referee exined the rules he asked if both trainers are ready, getting a nod from both Ash and Simon he didn''t dy the event and started the very first battle of the day. Referee "Both trainers choose your pokemons" The referee called out. Ash went first and pulled out two pokeballs from his belt and tossed it into the battlefield, the pokemons that he chose are Greninja and Noivern. Julian looked at Ash''s pokemon and couldn''t help but praise Ash in his heart, the Noivern is clearly very strong and with its big wingspan it can easily intimidate any opponent but Ash''s best pokemon in this league is certainly his Greninja. When Julian saw the Froakie for the very first time he knew it was an outstanding pokemon and Julian was not lucky enough to get it himself, the little fellow chose Ash and Julian is impressed by how Ash has trained Greninja. Clearly, one of Ash''s strongest pokemon even though it is the newest addition to his team of pokemons. Ash''s opponent also sent out his pokemons into the battlefield and his choices are Lucario and Raichu. Lucario is a steel/fighting type and has an advantage over Greninja who is a water/dark type. His other pokemon Raichu is an electric type and it also has an advantage over Greninja. It looks like Simon has done his research on Ash and he knows that Greninja is Ash''s strongest pokemon so taking it out first might put him in an advantageous position. Ash doesn''t seem to be worried about his opponent''s choice and was excited for the battle to start. The referee looked at both trainers and after confirming that both of them are ready, he raised the gs in his hand and waved them to indicate the beginning of the battle. Referee "The battle may begin". He yelled and waved the gs. As soon as his words were out both trainers who were on edge made their move, Simon made the first move. Simon "Raichu, use Thunderbolt. Lucario, use Bone Rush" Simon ordered and his pokemons followed, his Lucario charged at Greninja while using Bone Rush, it created a staff of energy made of ground energy and swung it at Greninja. Raichu also let out its war cry and sted a powerful Thunderbolt at Greninja as well, this forced Greninja into a corner, if it does one, it will get hit by the other but this is a double battle, Greninja can rely on its teammate to take care of the other problem. Ash "Greninja, counter with Night sh. Noivern, use Dragon Pulse" Greninja spread its arms wide creating des made of dark energy countered Lucario''s downwards swing with its left hand and then sliced at Lucario''s stomach without worrying about the Thunderbolt that was aimed at it. Noivern which is in the sky puffed up its chest and then suddenly released a powerful Dragon Pulse directly at the Thunderbolt from an upward angle andpletely canceled it, Noivern didn''t stop there and it followed the path of the Thunderbolt back to Raichu trying to finish it in one go. Raichu changed its target from Greninja and put its everything to counter the Dragon Pulse head-on, both attacks tried to push the other back but Raichu couldn''t keep up with Noivern. The Dragon Pulse soon started to overpower the Thunderbolt and as the Dragon Pulse pushed its way towards Raichu, Noivern put more power into it causing the Dragon Pulse to just zap through the Thunderboltpletely engulfing it in its path and hit Raichu. Raichu got sted into the air and it crashed hard on the ground. And the exchange between Greninja and Lucario wasn''t much different either, by blocking the downward swing from Lucario with its left-handed de made of dark energy, Greninja used its right dark de and sliced at Lucario''s stomach and got a direct hit sending Lucario rolling on the ground. Chapter 1160 - The Knockouts (10) Ash clearly won the first exchange proving that his pokemons are the stronger ones on the battlefield, both of Simon''s pokemon Lucario and Raichu suffered massive damage from that exchange. Simon clicked his tongue as he realized that he needs to somehow iste Ash''s Greninja to win this battle, he also severely underestimated Noivern''s power and because of that, his Raichu suffered devastating damage from Noivern''s Dragon Pulse. Luckily for him, his pokemons are tough so they didn''t get knocked, his pokemons grunted in pain but they got back to their feet and red angrily at their opponents. Once they were up, Simon made his move again. Simon "Raichu, use Quick Attack. Lucario, Aura Sphere at Greninja". His Lucario formed a sphere out of aura and sted it towards Greninja and Raichu followed right behind, even though Aura Sphere is a projectile attack, his Raichu seems to be much faster and overtook the Aura Sphere and got very close to Ash''s Greninja. Ash saw that Simon''s Lucario is wide open for an attack so he decided to take this chance. Ash "Noivern, use Dragon Pulse on Lucario. Greninja counter with Night sh" Ash ordered. His Noivern puffed its chest and sted a powerful Dragon Pulse at Lucario while Raichu got very close to Greninja, Greninja, on the other hand, created two des made of dark energy and got ready to counter both Quick Attack and Aura Sphere. But Simon seems to have other ns. Simon "Now Raichu, deflect it towards Noivern, then use Thunderbolt". As soon as he said these words his Raichu abruptly stopped and did a flip and swung its tail towards the iing Aura Sphere and redirected it towards Noivern from below. Since Noivern''s attention is on Lucario''s its lower body ispletely exposed to an opponent who is underneath it. With Raichu''s redirection, the Aura Sphere shot through the air and hit Noivern on its chest but Raichu quickly followed up with a powerful Thunderbolt zapping the breath out of Noivern causing the big flying dragon toe crashing down. Ash''s Greninja was surprised by this but nothing was going to stop it from attacking, since Raichu stopped itself and attacked Noivern, it left itself open for an attack from Greninja. Greninja dashed towards Raichu andnded two lethal shes with the Night sh and sent the Raichu rolling through the battlefield, when Raichu came to a stop everyone could see that it got knocked out. The crowd cheered as they saw this. Ash''s Noivern which had crashed on the battlefield surprisingly got up but it had to struggle its way up. Simon was shocked, he risked his Raichu to take out the Noivern, after seeing how powerful Noivern''s Dragon Pulse was, he couldn''t let such a dangerous opponent fly over his pokemons who will clearly have a disadvantage against attacksing from above. He decided to risk his Raichu so that Noivern will be taken out but in the process, his Riachu will also be exposed to an attack that he had anticipated. What he didn''t anticipate was Noivern actually surviving that Thunderbolt and getting up again. His n backfired and now his Lucario is all alone on the battlefield. Ash now clearly has an upper hand in this battle and he was quick to take advantage of this situation. Ash "Greninja, use Aerial Ace. Noivern, use Hurricane". Greninja suddenly moved from its spot at extremely high speed as two small white glowing des formed over its fist, it then jumped high up in the air and suddenly disappeared and then appeared right in front of Lucario andnded two lethal shes at it. This took Lucario off its feet and its back hit the ground, Greninja quickly moved away as Noivern''s shadow came over Lucario and it started to move its wings aggressively, the wind started to build up creating a powerful tornado, the tornado picked up the fallen Lucario and tossed it around all over the ce before sending it flying out of the battlefield. It hit the furthest wall of the stadium and got the wind blown out of it and got knocked out. Referee "Both of Simon''s pokemons are unable to battle, Ash''s Greninja and Noivern wins, the trainer advancing forward is Ash" As soon as the referee called out the result, the crowd burst into cheer and Ash also jumped high up in the air in excitement, his opponent Simon went on his knees and angrily punched the ground in frustration. He made one simple miscalction that caused the whole battle to be turned upside down for him which led to his devastating loss, this battle could have gone much better for him, his pokemons are not that weakpared to Ash''s but his mistake cost them this battle. He then angrily stomped out of the battlefield after sending his pokemons back to their Pokeball leaving Ash cheering happily and waving his hands at his fans alongside his pokemons. Julian who was watching the whole battle inside the waiting room was impressed by Ash''s pokemon but he was also disappointed by his opponent''s mistake.. If he had not taken that risk he could have pushed Ash a little further which could have led to an even better battle. Chapter 1161 - The Knockouts (11) Ash was sent off with loud cheers by the crowd and he returned to the waiting room, some of the trainers present in the waiting room congratted him on his victory and he thanked them, he soon walked towards Julian who still has not had his call to battle yet. Ash approached Julian and sat right next to him. Ash "Did you watch my battle?" Ash asked excitedly, no matter how sessful Ash got he still looked up to Julian and saw him as his idol, he wanted to be like Julian, be a powerful undefeated champion. Julian "I sure did, you did good" Julian said while he kept his focus on the screen, right after Ash''s bought was over, the next trainers were called instantly and the trainers who were called in were Julio, the guy who is cosying Julian, and a trainer named Carlos. Julian got a little serious as he wanted to learn more about Julio, what is he really after, others might not see it but Julian could, this person is not normal. Everything about him was simr to Julian, the way he walked, the waymanded his pokemons, the way he read his opponents, everything was simr to Julian. By now Julian is convinced that something is wrong with this Julio, even his name is so simr to Julian''s, just remove the ''an'' and add ''o'' to it. Julian was also not the only one who noticed this, even his fianc¨¦es asked him about this and how simr Julio is to Julian except they were not attracted to him like they were attracted to Julian. Ash also noticed that Julio looked quite simr to Julian, he looked at Julio on the screen and then back at Julian topare them. Even though their face didn''t look the same, they had the same hairstyle and same dressing style. Ash "Is this Julio guy your long-lost brother?" Ash suddenly asked with confusion and a dumb look on his face, this question for some reason ticked off Julian but he didn''t get pissed, having some copycat being called his brother didn''t fit well with him. Julian "No he is not, he seems to be a copycat". Julian said. Ash "A copycat? So he is pretending to be you?" He asked. Julian "Sure you can say that. Now I want to see how close he is to the real thing or will he disappoint me?" Julian said. Ash "Cool, I want to battle him and see if he is really as strong as you" Ash said and got excited as he wanted to see how he will fare against Julio, the Julian copycat. Julian looked at Ash and back at Julio and wondered if Ash would win or not, the thought of these two battling excited Julian, Ash who has unlimited potential and one day be the strongest champion in Julian''s opinion and on the other hand is a copy cat of the strongest trainer right now. The battle has great potential and Julian can''t help but get excited about it. ____________________ On the battlefield, Julio took his position on the battlefield and looked around the stadium, he saw people cheering for him with smiles on their faces, seeing so many people cheering for him suddenly put a creepy smile on his face but no one noticed it. His face was hidden under the hood he is wearing, he is giggling creepily to himself and thinking of something only he knows. Soon his opponent also entered the battlefield, Carlos entered and the crowd cheered for him, Carlos looked at the crowd and waved at them, and dered that he is going to win this battle loud and clear to everyone. Just hearing his deration hyped the crowd up even more and they couldn''t wait to witness to see if Carlos either lives up to his deration or will he crash and burn just like every other opponent that Julio has faced. Carlos took his position on the battlefield and looked at his opponent and he finally noticed that something was off about his opponent, he was hiding his face under the hood but Carlos could tell that his opponent his giggling like a creep while hiding his face. This gave Carlos a chill and he didn''t want to talk to his opponent anymore, he thought that he woulde here and rile up his opponent and offend him so he will get angry and make a mistake but seeing Julio''s fucked up state he decided to not do so. His opponent is already acting crazy, if he makes the man even crazier he doesn''t know what will happen. The referee also walked in and looked at both trainers and began to exin the rules of the battle, like the match before this is a double battle where trainers will have to use two pokemons at the same time and the winner will advance to the next round. Once the referee was done with the rules he asked both the trainers to choose their pokemons. Carlos went first and sent out a Golduck and Toxicroak. Julio looked at his opponent''s pokemons and sent out his two pokemons into the battlefield, his choice Infernape, and Absol. Chapter 1162 - Carlos Vs Julio Julian looked at the two pokemons that Julio sent into the battle, by now there was no denying that this Julio is a cheap rip-off of Julian, he didn''t even bother to catch new pokemons for himself. He did everything simr to Julian, his style, his pokemons, his battle tactics. Even Julian started to wonder where did this creepe from, the thought of having someone so obsessed with him that they try to be him, crept him to the core. This is why Julian has a very private life, if people knew what he was doing when he is not in front of the public eye, people might start to get influenced and try to be like him which will definitely put them in danger. _________________ On the battlefield, Carlos was creeped out of his opponent as well but it didn''t mean he was afraid of the weird fellow, he believed in his pokemon''s strength and was confident that he will advance forward. Julio, on the other hand, stopped giggling like a creep and went back to being the stoic person he is. Confirming that both pokemons are on the battlefield, the referee didn''t waste any time and began the battle. Referee "Let the battle begin" With the wave of the gs, Carlos made the first move. Carlos "Golduck, use Water Pulse. Toxicroak, use Toxic on the Water Pulse" Hearing hismand, his Golduck charged up a powerful Water Pulse and sted it at Infernape, his Toxicroak expanded its throat pouch and shot a blob of poison at the Water Pulse causing the Water Pulse to turn purple in color. From thebination of these two attacks, the Water Pulse became a Toxic Water Pulse, it continued to move towards Infernape at high velocity. Julio waited until the veryst moment before making a move. Julio "Infernape, use Substitute. Absol, Night sh. Then Infernape, use Submission". With precise instruction just like Julian''s his pokemons made their move, first Infernape created a decoy in thin air and hid behind it causing the Toxic Water Pulse to hit the decoy and not Infernape, Absol then charged at Toxicroak at very high speed using Night sh. Its horn extended as it gathered dark energy around it creating a massive long dark de. Infernape then followed right behind Absol using it as its cover. Carlos was not going to allow a counter-attack and made his move. Carlos "Toxicroak, counter the Night sh with Poison Jab. Golduck, use Hydro Pump on Absol" Carlos was not going to miss the chance of taking out both of Julio''s pokemons in one go, having both his opponents pokemon right behind one another in a straight line made them susceptible to a lethal blow. Toxicroak charged up a powerful Poison Jab as it knew Absol was going to dodge the Hydro Pump and will sh with it. Golduck charged up its most powerful Hydro Pump and sted it at Absol, Absol saw the iing Hydro Pump and moved to the sidepletely dodging it but the Hydro Pump continued towards Infernape as it was right behind Absol. As the Hydro Pump was inches away from Infernape, it suddenly disappeared from its position and appeared to the side dodging the Hydro Pump, everyone who saw this couldn''t believe their eyes, they had never seen a pokemon dodge a move up close so fast. Even Julian was surprised to see this. Julian ''That Infernape is something else'' Julian thought and wondered how this Infernape was trained, from the looks of it, it is still very young so it is already a surprise that it is this strong but to move so fast, there must be something else to this Infernape. Ash''s eyes widened in excitement as he saw how the Infernape moved, he wanted to battle this Julio even more and wanted to experience it first hand. Back on the battlefield, Carlos was taken back as he saw the Infernape suddenly appear right next to Golduck catching it by surprise. Before Golduck could even react and stop the Hydro Pump, Infernape got right behind it and put its right arm around Golduck''s neck and used its left hand to lock it in, and used a sleeper hold submission. It then wrapped its legs around Golduck''s waist so that Golduck has no chance to shake it off, the Hydro Pump was suddenly put to stop as the pressure was applied on its neck. Golduck started to il around and tried to shake off Infernape but it was impossible, the grip around its neck got tighter and Golduck was brought to its knees and its whole body went t on the ground, Infernape then turned it around and when on its back with Golduck facing towards the sky. Golduck tried to get out, it shook its arms and legs, tried its best to struggle out but there was no way of escaping this hold. Carlos got worried as he saw his Golduck going down, he couldn''t even order his Toxicroak to save Golduck because it is engaged in a fistfight with the Absol and is being pushed back, if it gets distracted for even a second it will get hit. Carlos "Golduck, try your best to get out, use Water Pulse" Carlos called out but his instructions are useless, as Infernape has its hold tight around Golduck it cannot perform any kind of attack, soon Golduck started to fade and bubbles started to form around its mouth. It then went cold and Infernape finally let it go, Golduck was out. Referee "Golduck is unable to battle" The Referee called out. Chapter 1163 - Carlos Vs Julio (2) Now that Golduck was out of the picture, Carlos is in deep trouble as his Toxicroak will not be able to handle two pokemons at the same time, it is doing a great job right now fending of a pokemon that is physically stronger than it. Infernape now has a new target in its sight, it didn''t even bother giving the Golduck a second look before dashing towards Toxicroak. Carlos saw this and knew he needs to warn his Toxicroak. Carlos "Toxicroak be careful". This is all he could say because there is no way his Toxicroak can take on two opponents at the same time, if it turns around to intercept Infernape, Absol will be able tond that Night sh that it has been barraging Toxicroak with. But if Toxicroak continues its fistfight with Absol, Infernape will be able to get a sneak attack in. And as Carlos had thought, his Toxicroak couldn''t handle two opponents at the same time, Infernape once again got right behind Toxicroak and put its arms under Toxicroak''s arms and brought them over its neck and intertwined its finger and put a full nelson lock on Toxicroakpletely disabling its hands. Now that it has no arms to defend itself, its whole body ispletely exposed to Absol who takes the advantage of the situation andnds multiple lethal Night shes on Toxicroak''s chest and stomach. After five shes Infernape let go of the hold and Toxicroak crashes on the ground like a rag doll, it was out on the third hit but Absol continued its attack until Infernape decided to release their victim. This was indeed a very brutal ending and Carlos could only watch as this happened, Julio did nothing illegal, his pokemons let go of their opponent before causing any severe damage to them but their opponents still suffered a lot of pain from that assault. Carlos''s pokemon will have to rest for a week before they get back to their peak form again. Referee "Toxicroak is unable to battle. Since both Golduck and Toxicroak are unable to battle, Infernape and Absol wins, hence trainer Julio advances to the next round" The referee called for the result and dered Julio as the winner of this battle, the crowd cheered louder as they were able to witness another dominating victory from a trainer. This time the league was not aspetitive as the previous ones because the few trainers who are participating this time are just leagues above other trainers who are participating. But this didn''t discourage the audience, they got more excited because they knew that the final rounds would be exciting to watch, the battles will be intense and the results will be shocking and of course, the grand finale will be epic. Julio didn''t stay behind to celebrate with the crowd, he just called back his pokemons and walked out of the battlefield. The people continued to cheer for him while Carlos just stood there near his pokemons and checked on their health, seeing that they were not getting up, he had to rush them back to the poke center. Even though they are not fatally injured or dead, they still need medical attention right now. With the second match of the daying to an end, the next trainers were called in. ________________ Inside the waiting room, Julian watched as the battle came to an end, just as he thought, Julio won and he won by using one of Julian''s tactics, Submission. Julian''s Infernape also knows Submission and if Julian remembers correctly his Infernape once used Submission to win in a league battle as well. And now this guy is even trying to copy Julian''s wins, Julian just sighed, even though he felt bad for the trainer Carlos, Julio was not that brutalpared to people that Julian has faced before. Two more battles took ce before another trainer was called who Julian is interested in, it is in, the trainer who he battled in Professor Sycamore''sb. This young trainer is very promising and he has shown dominance in the league till now, Julian wanted to see if in will get pushed further or will still be able to hide his strength until he meets someone very strong. Julian watched alongside Ash as in walked in and the crowd cheered for him as well, he is another new face that has caught the attention of people all over the world because of his impressive performance. He and his opponent took the stage and had their battle, it was an exciting one but it didn''tst long as well. in swiped the floor of his opponent and advanced like every other trainer until now and now it was finally time for Julian to enter the battlefield. Even before the announcer called for his name, the crowd were already calling for him, they knew it was time for Julian to enter and show the world how it really is done. Just their loud voice was able to cause the ground to rumble. The league''s staff walked in and asked Julian to enter the battlefield, Julian got up and stretched his hands. Ash "All the best" Ash wished him luck and Julian just smiled at him and headed towards the battlefield as the voice of the crowd grew louder and louder. Chapter 1164 - Advancing To The Final Rounds As Julian got closer to the entrance of the battlefield, the announcer introduced him and the crowd continued to get louder, maybe it was Julian getting close to the battlefield or the crowd is just raising their voice, it didn''t matter but the voice of the crowd was getting louder and that''s all that matters. He then entered the battlefield where he was greeted by his fans as loud as they could, they loved him more than anyone and they didn''t shy away from letting Julian know about it, even though Julian knows how toxic his fans really are, he cannot help but love them back. He looked around and waved his hand at the fans acknowledging them. Julian took his ce on the battlefield and looked at the person standing across him, this man is his opponent, a good trainer but Julian doesn''t see him as someone he needs to put effort into to defeat. The trainer he is facing is a young man who has shown promise and the league will make sure that he joins one of their rankings but when ites to the elites of the industries, this young man doesn''t cut it unless he changes his way of thinking. To be a better trainer, one doesn''t rely on their training method or strong pokemons, but their mentality and how sessful they are to embed this mentality into their pokemons. Unless this trainer finds a way to achieve that elite mentality and trains his pokemons into elite pokemons. Just like Julian had predicted even before the league conference even began, he will not face any opponent that is at the elite level until the final rounds begin. The referee walked in and started to exin the rules of the battle, once he was done exining the same rules of the previous match, and asked both Julian and his opponents to choose their pokemon. Julian went first as always and sent out two of his pokemon, his shiny Charizard and Abomasnow. His opponent looked nervously at Julian''s choice and sent out his pokemons into the battlefield as well, his pokemons that entered the battlefield are Talonme and Barbaracle. His choices are not bad but they won''t matter in a battle where the opposition is someone like Julian. The referee waved his gs and began the battle. Julian''s opponent made the first move and unlike others, he went head-on against Julian, he ordered his Talonme to take on Julian Charizard, which is a stupid move. Julian''s Charizard is leagues above the Talonme, as for the Barbaracle it went straight against Abomasnow in a straight battle of strength. But the trainer''s decision didn''t benefit him even one bit, his strategy to take on Charizard with his Talonme somehow worked for a few seconds as Talonme''s smaller size made it much faster and nimble than Charizard which allowed it to dodge a few attacks from Charizard but then it got caught by a Dragon Tail from Charizard and was sent crashing into the ground. While Barbaracle and Abomasnow went head-on and crossed fists, there was no way Barbaracle was going to win in that exchange, even though it had two extra hands and used them to punch the lower body of Abomasnow while they crossed fist, Abomasnow just took the hits head on and pressed Barbaracle into the ground and repeatedly stomped on it with his massive feet and put the struggle of Barbaracle to an end. After his dominating win, Julian walked back into the waiting room and soon left the stadium, and reunited with his fianc¨¦es in his house. ______________________ After a dominating win, Julian entered the top 16 along with other promising trainers, the top 16 was held just after the day the top 32 ended. And once again Julian faced another trainer who is up there as one of the best in the league but not on the elite level, he won easily and entered the top 8, being the very first person to enter the final rounds. Along with Julian, the other trainers that entered the top 8 along with Julian are, Julio, Ash, in, Remo, Byron, Megan, Sena. These eight will face each other in the top 8 and try to win so that they are one step closer to winning the league conference. Julian will be facing Remo, Julio will be facing Byron, Ash will be facing Megan, and in will be facing Sena. _____________________ With only 8 trainers left in the tournament, the intensity of the league conference started to rise, people now had their champion to choose from. One of these eight will be the winner of the Kalos league conference. People have started betting on the trainer that they feel is going to win the league conference, who will get eliminated, who will advance to the semi-finals, and who will be in the finals. The safest choice people can make is, of course, Julian, but the profit ratio on his name is none existence, if people want to make money, they will have to choose one of the remaining seven or divide their money and bet on three or four people to have better odds. While the world was going crazy over the final rounds of the Kalos league conference, Julian is having a pleasant date with his fianc¨¦es and is not worried about the league at all, with Kalos league almosting to an end, Julian knows he will soon be visiting a different region and he will not be able to spend much time with his fianc¨¦es. So he is spending every minute he is free with them. Chapter 1165 - Quarter-Finals Today is the day the quarter-finals of the Kalos league is taking ce and the grand stadium next to the prism tower is already filled to the brim and people are still trying to get in, since the grand stadium is full, the league had arranged more seats that tower over the stadium so more people can join in. This of course caused a lot of people to gather, even though it is the worst seat in the stadium, people are still fighting over it so they can watch the battles. _________________ Julian got ready and headed towards the grand stadium, not even halfway near the stadium and he could already hear the voice of people asking for the battles to start. When he arrived at the stadium he could see people gathered around the stadium as they stared at the massive screens around the stadium, since the league didn''t have any more space inside the stadium, they decided to stream the battles on massive screens around the stadium. But, Of course, watching the battles on such massive screens doesn''te for free, the league will try to make as much money as possible through this conference. With all these massive screens around the stadium, it looked like a drive-in cinema but with multiple screens all around the stadium. Julian made his way around the stadium and went in, he then found the waiting room and like always he was thest person to reach the waiting room, there were already three people inside waiting for the quarter-finals to start as well. When Julian walked in, all of them turned their head and looked at him, one among them is Ash, and the others being Byron and Sena. Byron and Sena made it to hear meaning they have a great future and they can be one of the elite four in the future but to do that they need to work hard. As for Ash, he is just excited to battle and, win the league. Ash''s mood lightened up when he saw Julian and he talked with Julian about his opponent, Ash''s opponent is Megan and she has proved herself to be an exceptional contender in this league conference, she has a dominant performance throughout the whole tournament and is definitely a contender for one of the future elite four of Kalos in Julian''s eyes. Ash will have a tough battle but Julian believes that he will win and advance to the semi-finals. Julian waited alongside Ash as time passed, the crowd is getting restless as they wanted the battles to begin, after half an hour, the quarter-finals finally began. The first two contenders were called into the battlefield and they are in and Sena. Sena walked out of the waiting room as Julian watched her leave, he knew that Sena is not going to win, she is good but not as good as in. With both of them entering the battlefield, they got the crowd''s undivided attention, this is quarter-finals and people were not holding back to express their excitement. With people packed both inside and outside the stadium, their voices were defining to one''s ears. Both in and his opponent took the stage and began the battle. It was a tough one, in was surprisingly pushed quite a lot and he had to mega evolve his Charizard to finally take down his opponent''s pokemon. in came out the victor as Julian had predicted, his opponent Sena could only cry in frustration, she worked hard and wanted to win but she felt she was not good enough. When people reach the top they want to be the best among the top and Sena is one of them, it almost bes an obsession to be to best, and today''s failure will hurt Sena. Once the battlefield was clear, within fifteen minutes the next battle began. The second round of the quarter-finals, is between Ash and Megan. Both of them were called into the battlefield and were exined the rules of the battle, the referee then asked them to choose their pokemon. Megan''s first choice was a Diggersby and Ash sent out his Goodra. Julian was surprised seeing Ash own a Goodra, a pseudo legendary pokemon and from the looks of it, it looks quite strong. The battle started and Ash''s Goodra dominated, even though the Diggersby was quite powerful, it could handle the power of a Pseudo legendary pokemon. Megan was surprised by the oue and sent out her next pokemon into the battlefield, a massive pokemon called Tyrantrum. The battle between Tyrantrum and Goodra was intense, even though Tyrantrum is not a pseudo legendary pokemon, it is able to go head to head with Goodra and even overpower it in a few of its exchanges but Goodra is still a pseudo legendary pokemon, while it might not have an upper hand in a physical battle against the Tyrantrum, it still outsses it in every other aspect. Goodra soon put the Tyrantrum to sleep after a devastating Power Whip which knocked the wind out of the Tyrantrum, once Tyrantrum was down Ash sent Goodra back to its Pokeball as well since it got very tired after two consecutive wins. Megan sent out her final pokemon, Sylveon. Ash, on the other hand, sent out his Talonme into the battlefield. The battle continued and it was very fierce, after a gruesome exchange between the two pokemon, Ash''s Talonme got knocked out so Ash was forced to send out his next pokemon. Hisst choice was Hawlucha which ended the battle with one powerful High Knee because Sylveon was already exhausted and tired from its battle against Talonme. With all three of Megan''s pokemon knocked out, Ash advanced to the semi-finals. Chapter 1166 - Quarter-Finals (2) After Ash advanced to the semifinals, the next trainers that were called into the battlefield are Julio and Byron. Julian who was watching this from the waiting room had no doubt that this one will be a sweep for Julio, though Byron is a strong trainer, he is the weakest trainer amongst the top 8, while Julio is a bootleg version of Julian. And even though he is just a bootleg version, he is still better than Byron. The two of them were soon asked to choose their pokemons and begin the battle, Byron started with a Smence, his strongest pokemon while Julio sent out a Tyranitar. The Tyranitar was easily able to overpower the Smence and crush it with a powerful Stone Edge. With Smence''s defeat, Byron had to send out his second pokemon into the battlefield, his choice this time was Gigalith. Julio on the other hand chose to keep Tyranitar on the battlefield, and this time the result was no different. Tyranitar was about tond a devastating Brick Break on Gigalith''s head causing the bulk of crystal rock to get nted into the ground. Byron, frustrated by the oue quickly sent out his final pokemon into the battlefield, a massive Rhyperior entered the battlefield and tried to go head-on with Tyranitar in a feat of strength. At first, both pokemons seem to be equally matched but Tyranitar soon overpowered the Rhyperior and then used a Hyper Beam at point-nk range right on Rhyperior''s face and knocked it out. With a dominating 3-0 victory Julio advanced to the semi-finals as well. With Julio also making it into the semi-finals, there is only one battle left in the quarter-finals and it is between Julian and the trainer named Remo. Julian is looking forward to this battle because he finally has a decent opponent. His opponent Remo is a very well-known trainer in Kalos, he has been consistent and had reached the finals in the previous league. Remo has already proved that he is a great trainer by having a very sessful career but to elevate his status as a great trainer, he needs to win the league and be an Elite, this is his goal. And Remo believed this is the year, he believed that he will be the winner of this league and go ahead to defeat the elite four and maybe the champion. It didn''t matter even if the opponent standing in front of him is none other than Julian, though Julian has an incredible reputation of being an undefeated trainer it doesn''t matter to Remo, he has been preparing for this day for over three years now. In his first-ever league, he got eliminated in the quarter-finals, in his previous league, he reached the finals, and this time he is going to win it. Just like Julian, Remo is waiting in the waiting room for him to be called into the battlefield, just as he was about to get frustrated, an employee walked in and informed Remo that he is up next. Remo got excited and jumped up from his seat and stomped towards the battlefield in excitement. The crowd outside is also getting restless because they are eagerly waiting for this battle as well, the announcer got to work and started introducing Remo to the audience. Announcer "Ladies and Gentlemen, IT''S TIMEEEE, the moment you all have been waiting for, the fourth andst battle of the quarter-finals to determine who will advance to the semi-finals of the Kalos league conference is about to begin. Let me introduce you to the first trainer, he is a returning veteran who hasn''t given up on this goal to be the champion of Kalos, his history in the Kalos league has been exceptional and he ns to win it this time. Everyone let''s wee the domineering Remo" The announcer said and the crowd cheered, they called for Remo as he is quite famous in Kalos and there are a lot of supporters for him even though his opponent is Julian. People still believed in him and since he is from Kalos, people from Kalos are cheering for him. Remo walked in and his fans didn''t hold back at all, they cheered for him as loud as they could but there were also a lot of boos that followed the cheers, these boos were of course from the people who are behind Julian. Seeing things are getting heated, the Announcer moved on and started to introduce Julian. __________________ Julian is waiting right next to the entrance of the battlefield as he heard the announcer introducing him, he knew he was up and as soon as the Announcer ended his announcement, Julian walked in. His fans always cheered him like they are not going to see him ever again. He smiled and waved at them and took his position on the battlefield, he then looked at his opponent who is standing on the other side of the battlefield ring at him, Julian read his opponent and wondered what he would bring to the battlefield. His opponent Remo is quite an intimidating man, he is first of all massive standing over 6 feet tall, with wide shoulders and massive arms, he is also holding a purple umbre in his hand which seems to have a keystone at its top end. Seeing the Keystone, Julian knew he will be facing a mega evolved pokemon. The referee then walked in and looked at both trainers and began to exin the rules of the battle. Referee "This will be a three on three pokemon battle, both trainers will be allowed to switch pokemons during or in the middle of the battle, the trainer with no pokemons at the end of the battle will lose and will be eliminated from the tournament and the winner will advance to the semi-finals" The referee then paused and looked at both trainers and asked them if they are ready, once he got the confirmation, he made the all. Referee "Both trainers, choose your pokemons". Chapter 1167 - Quarter-Finals (3) The referee asked both of them to choose their pokemons once he was done exining the rules. Julian went first and sent out his first pokemon into the battlefield, Florges. Remo also did the same and sent out his first pokemon at the same time and he chose Haxorus. Seeing his opponent''s choice surprised Julian, this was the first time in this league that his opponent chose a pokemon that had a type disadvantage against him. His Florges is a fairy type while Haxorus is a dragon type, the damage that Florges can deal on Haxorus is much greater than it can deal on Florges. Julian found this interesting as he wondered what Remo has up his sleeve to be so confident against him that he would go with a type disadvantaged pokemon. Now that both trainers have chosen their pokemon and they are on the battlefield, the referee didn''t waste any time and began the battle. Referee "The battle may begin" Remo "Use sh" As soon as the signal of the battle was given, Remo went on the attack, he wasn''t going to give Julian any moment to attack, his strategy for this battle is simple, he will go full offense on Julian and force his pokemon in a tough situation which will open up Florges''s defense and Haxorus will be able tond the battle-ending strike. Remo has his nid out, it''s not a genius strategy but it is definitely the most effective one against someone like Julian, if you try to beplicated against Julian you will lose very badly. Remo has done his study, he knows that this will be his toughest challenge, maybe even tougher than the elite four but he knows that if he defeats Julian, he will be the champion of Kalos and no one can stop him. Julian was surprised by the sudden outburst, not because Remo took the first action but because of his Haxorus''s speed, it covered half of the battlefield within a second and arrived right in front of Florges the very next second and shed at Florges with full power. Even though Florges is not as fast as Remo''s Haxorus, she has incredible reaction time because of all the hard training she has gone through with her teammates under Julian''s watch. She moved to the side and dodged the first sh very gracefully but Haxorus was out for blood, it shed at Florges again but Florges dodged it again. Haxorus was not going to give up, it has its sight set on Florges and wants tond the first hit, Julian watched carefully as Remo''s Haxorus continued its barrage of attacks. Just from the Haxorus''s movements, Julian could tell that this pokemon is already at an elite level and it is only a few steps away from bing a champion-level pokemon. This just showed how much Remo has put into this battle, this is three years of dedication put into this one battle, Julian admired Remo''s determination but he is not going to take a loss. As Florges kept dodging Haxorus''s shes she quickly understood its pattern and now she could tell from where Haxorus is going to attack before it could even attack. Julian also noticed that Florges has deciphered Haxorus''s sh pattern and is now ready to make a move. Julian "Use Disarming Voice" Julian ordered as he saw the right moment to attack. As Haxorus was aiming at Florges''s head from its right hand, Florges saw the iing attack and moved to the right and dodged it and opened her mouth, and used Disarming Voice. A screeching sound escaped from her mouth and hit Haxorus right in its ear sending the dragon rolling on the ground. Though the attack doesn''t have much power behind it, having a high-frequency sound sted into one''s ear can cause a lot of damage. Haxorus was about to get back to its feet but the aftermath of the Disarming voice was clear, Haxorus seems stunned. This is the moment where it will all end. Julian "Now Moonst" As Haxorus was stunned, Florges raised her hands and started to charge up for a powerful Moonst, fairy energy started to umte between her hands and the ball made of fairy energy started to grow. Once Florges was done, she locked onto Haxorus and sted the Moon st at it, sensing the impending doom, Haxorus suddenly snapped out of its stun state and looked at the iing Moonst. Even though the attack is very fast, everything seems to have slowed down at the veryst second for Haxorus as it thought it was going to get destroyed by this Moonst. Remo "Quick, use Protect" But at the veryst second Remo''s voice sounded in its ears and it quickly raised its hands and formed a protective shield in front of it at the veryst second. The Moonst smashed into the protective shield and pushed Haxorus back even though its feet and dug deep into the ground. Cracks started to appear on the protective shield and just as it was about to shatter, the power of the Moonst ran out and then the shield shattered. Haxorus went on its knees as it waspletely exhausted after that, it had used all its energy to power up that protective shield because if it didn''t, the Moonst would have ended it. Remo "Great, now use Crunch" Though Remo wanted to give his Haxorus some time to recover, he had no time, even cking off for a second will cost them this battle, Haxorus didn''t care about its exhausted state and used all its power to charge straight towards Florges as dark energy started to form in front of its mouth creating a massive jaw made of dark energy. Haxorus''s speed was so fast that Florges doesn''t have time to charge up another special attack that could counter it, Haxorus will be in front of it within a second and the Crunch will crunch down on her. Julian knew this and decided to y defensive. Julian "Use Protect" Julian called out for a Protect as well and Florges created a sphere of protective shield around her, the dark jaw was massive and it tried to crush down on the protective shield. As the jaws tried to shut down hard, it squeezed the protective sphere shield causing its shape to change, the pressure from the dark jaw was indeed a lot and it showed, cracks started to appear on Florges''s shield but she wasn''t afraid. The pressure on the shield increased and it shattered as the jaws shut down on Florges. Chapter 1168 - Quarter-Finals (4) As soon as the dark jaws shattered Florges'' protective shield and chomped down on her, the crowd gasped in shock as they didn''t think Haxorus could actually get through the protective shield. Julian had other ideas, he knew that Florges'' protective shield won''t hold up but it had enough strength to weaken the Crunch and on top of that Florges is resistant to Dark-type attacks so the attack will deal very little damage to her. It is Julian just giving false hope to his opponent so he can catch him and his pokemon off guard. Julian [Moon st] Julian sent a mental order to Florges, he has not used a mental order for quite a while in a battle and this will be the first one. As smoke filled the air around Florges, everyone including Remo thought that he has gotten a hit but suddenly a powerful Moonst shot out of the smoke blowing a hole through it which caught Remo''s Haxorus off guard and smashed into the dragon sending it crashing and rolling through the ground. Julian noticed that Haxorus still has some strength and he was not going to allow the dragon to get back to its feet. Julian "Use Dazzling Gleam to finish it" Julian ordered. Florges charged up a powerful Dazzling Gleam and sted it towards Haxorus who suddenly stopped rolling and tried to get back to its feet, seeing the iing move it knew it was in danger, Remo "Quick dodge it!" Remo also shouted. Just as the Dazzling Gleam was about to make contact Haxorus moved to the side and dodged it by a hair inch, both Haxorus and Remo thought that this was over but it''s not, Florges didn''t stop shooting at all, she just locked onto Haxorus and directed the Dazzling Gleam at Haxorus. Haxorus tried to run away to avoid the move but there was no way it could outrun a stream of energy that is traveling at the speed of light and Florges is also very experienced in controlling the move making it almost impossible to dodge by just running away. With its back exposed, the Dazzling Gleam hit Haxorus and dragged it over a few meters through the battlefield leaving behind deep drag marks made by Haxorus'' body. The referee saw no movement from Haxorus so when he checked on it he found out that it was out cold. Referee "Haxorus is unable to battle, Florges wins" The referee dered. The crowd burst into a loud cheer, even though most of them expected the oue, they couldn''t help but get excited over every move Julian and his pokemons make. Seeing that his Haxorus got knocked out Remo let out a grunt and sent it back to its Pokeball, he was not going to give up so soon, he needed to win this. He thought he had trained enough, but he fell a little short. He didn''t see that Moonsting nor did his Haxorus, they were caught off guard but this time things will be different. Remo then sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield, another Dragon-type pokemon entered the battlefield and this time it is a Kingdra. A very powerful pokemon with a dragon/water typing, Julian looks at his Florges and decides to switch her with another pokemon, though she could continue, she doesn''t need this battlepared to the pokemon Julian is about to choose. He sent Florges back to her Pokeball and sent out his second pokemon into the battlefield, Dragalge entered the battlefield and looked at his opponent, both of them are dragon types but one clearly has the stat advantage being a superior dragon type pokemon and it''s Kingdra. Dragalge might be a dragon type butpared to Kingdra, his species is not that great. If this battle were to happen underwater where their natural habitat is, Kingdra will always win in those battles. But this time, these two pokemons who share and fight for territory underwater will have a battle onnd. Both pokemons looked at each other and felt a natural animosity towards each other. Since both pokemons are very territorial they often had a conflict with each other, while Kingdras move around in a group of three or four. Dragalges on the other hand, form a pride of 15 or above but they don''t move around too much, they find a creek in the sea and settle down while Kingdra''s travel around to find new territory when they feel the resource around them have been depleted. Because of their behavior, these two pokemons often meet in the wild and conflicts ur a lot. Since Kingdra''s are more powerful than Dragalges, Dragalges started to form pride to protect their territory. Because of this, Dragalges and Kingdras don''t get along well. One could tell that this rivalry was infused into them since birth, maybe both of these pokemons might have even encountered the other species during battle when they were young before being captured. Seeing the tension rising on the battlefield, Julian knew what was happening, he could sense his Dragalge''s hatred for Kingdra. Seeing that both pokemons are on the battlefield, the referee waved his g and called for the battle to begin. Julian "Dragalge, Scald" Remo "Kingdra, use Hydro Pump" Both of them called out their moves and began the battle. Chapter 1169 - Quarter-Finals (5) With both trainers calling for their respective moves, their pokemons charged up their moves and sted at each other. The Scald and Hydro Pump shot through the space tearing through the air with destructive force, as the two moves collided, a sizzling sound filled the whole stadium as the scalding hot stream of water met with the destructive cold jet of water. As both collided in the middle, it created a loud boom but it looks like no side had the upper hand, while Kingdra did use a more powerful water-type move, Dragalge is a better special attacker not because Dragalges are better special attackers, no, Dragalge is able to push back because of the training he went under Julian One department where Dragalges are better than Kingdras is their special defense, Kingdras are all-rounders meaning they don''tck in any aspect but they are not the best at any either. Julian also has to be careful while he battles, even though he is confident in his Dragalge, he cannot allow Dragalge to take any physical damage from Kingdra as this Kingdra is an elite level pokemon as well and it is several levels above Dragalge. Remo has been preparing for this battle for years and he worked his ass off to level up his pokemons so they could take on the elite four whenever wherever, Julian''s Dragalge is clearly under-leveled here and so are his other pokemons, he didn''t have much time to advance his pokemon''s level to advance level but it also doesn''t mean his pokemons can''t defeat elite level pokemons. The first round between Florges and Haxorus was the proof, Haxorus is an elite level pokemon while Florges is still not to a level that should be considered an elite level by normal standards but none of Julian''s pokemons are normal so they can easily take on pokemons who are bigger, stronger, and faster than them. As the two moves struggled to push each other and formed a stalemate right in the middle of the battlefield, Kingdra started to get frustrated because it could not take down a weaker pokemon with a Hydro Pump. Kingdra then suddenly started to put more power behind its Hydro Pump which started to push the Scald behind. Julian "Use more power and concentrate it into a small surface area" Julian ordered and Dragalge also sted out the Scald with much energy but also pressured the scald to be smaller in size but the energy behind it increased a lot. Since all the power of the Scald was being concentrated into a slim stream of water, it was pressurized causing it to have more piercing power. As soon as the thin stream of Scald hit the massive Hydro Pump, it went right through it and hit Kingdra in the head sending it shooting through the air and out of the battlefield. No one expected this at all, they never thought that a thin stream of Scald could pierce through the Hydro Pump and send the Kingdra flying. Remo is shocked, the crowd is shocked, the announcer is shocked, there was dead silence for a second before they all started bursting with enthusiasm. The referee rushed towards Kingdra to check on it and realized that it got knocked out, there was also a bruise right between its eye because of the pressurized Scald. Remo also checked on his Kingdra because he saw how his Kingdra was shot out of the battlefield, it was very clear to the naked eye that it was hit very hard. When he saw the bruise between Kingdra''s eyes he knew what happened. From his point of view, he couldn''t tell what happened, all he saw was Kingdra using its Hydro Pump but then it was sent flying. Remo started to feel frustrated because of this, he thought he was going to win this battle, he had worked so hard but everything ising crashing down because of just one trainer that decided to participate in this year''s league. He started to get angry, he needed to win and he decided he will not back down now, he needs to bring out the big gun. He sent Kingdra back to its Pokeball and took his position on the battlefield again. He took out a Pokeball and sent out his ace pokemon. The pokemon that entered the battlefield is a Garchomp, when Julian looked at this Garchomp, he was surprised, this is clearly a champion-level pokemon, the aura around it is clearly very strong. Even if Julian wanted to win this with Dragalge, he might not win it, a champion-level pokemon is something Dragalge can''t handle right now, he decided to stick with Dragalge but if things don''t go right, Julian will switch his pokemon. As soon as the Garchomp entered the battlefield, the feel around the battlefield changed as Garchomp''s aura caused everything to tense up. Dragalge also felt the pressure on him, this is the first time he has encountered a pokemon who emitted such pressure outside Julian''s pokemon team. Though he was tense, he was also very excited for this battle, this battle will push him to his limits. Julian also didn''t expect to see a Champion-level pokemon so he was also a little excited. Chapter 1170 - Quarter Finals (6) With Garchomp entering the battlefield, the crowd went crazy, everyone knows that when a Garchomp enters the battlefield, there will be destruction and explosion. With the status of a pseudo legendary pokemon that can also mega evolve, Garchomp is the closest thing these people can experiencepared to a first-grade legendary pokemon. Remo was in no mood to y around, he suddenly pointed the tip of his umbre towards Garchomp and started the mega-evolution process. The Keystone on top of the umbre started to glow brighter and then release a blinding light from it, the light then shot towards Garchomp, Garchomp which is menacingly standing on the battlefield growled as the mega stone on it started to glow and release blinding light and fused with the lighting from the keystone. As the lights fused, lightpletely engulfed Garchomp and visible change started to happen, after a few seconds, the light disappeared finally revealing Mega Garchomp. As soon as Mega Garchomp was in front of the crowd they went crazy and the pressure on Dragalge increased a lot. Julian also didn''t expect his opponent to mega evolve right at the beginning, this also meant that Dragalge''s chance of winning is very slim but it also will allow Dragalge to hone his skill against a pokemon that is way above its level, whether it is speed, physical power or special power, the only thing Dragalge can rely on is Julian and its mobility, though its little Julian has trained Dragalge''s mobility to perfection. As soon as Garchomp mega evolved, Remo went straight for the attack. Remo "Use Dragon Rush" A full-powered Dragon Rush used by a mega evolved Garchomp is devastating and it is heading right towards Dragalge, once thisnds, no matter how much trainer Dragalge has gone through, it won''t matter because the power behind the move is beyond anything Dragalge can handle right now. If Julian had an extra month of training, then maybe Dragalge could survive this head-on but not right now, Julian''s eyes were focused as he looked at the trajectory of the Dragon Rush, even if Garchomp decided to turn and chase after Dragalge, Julian wanted to make it hard for it. No matter how powerful the pokemon are, if they are moving at a high speed, suddenly changing direction in mid-air is impossible, Julian is going to use this to his advantage. Being the smaller pokemon here, Dragalge has a few things he can utilize to dodge this move ande out unscathed, after predicting all the possibilities inside his mind, Julian made his move. Julian "Move to the right while using Aqua Tail" Since Dragalge doesn''t have any limbs, he cannot move fast onnd so with the assistance of Aqua Tail, Dragalge can make suddenly burst into motion with extreme speed. Dragalge used Aqua Tail and dragged its tail towards the left which propelled his body to the right and he dodged the Dragon Rush by a hair inch but it was not over, Mega Garchomp suddenly made a wide turn and flew up into the sky then came to a sudden halt and started to dive down at full speed. With gravity assisting it, Mega Garchomp''s descent was very fast and with this, it wanted to take out Dragalge. Julian "Use Icy Wind" Julianmanded. With Mega Garchomp rushing towards Dragalge, Dragalge looked up and aimed at the iing Garchomp and used Icy Wind. A st of freezing air burst out and hit Garchomp head-on, as an Ice-type move it is four times effective against Garchomp and with the special effect of Icy wind, it slows down the opponent''s speed. Garchomp''s speed significantly slowed down but Julian was not going to risk it by taking on the attack head-on, he wanted to dodge this attack at the very end so that Garchomp doesn''t have any time to recover. If Julian decided to move early, Garchomp can change direction and follow Dragalge, dodging at thest moment is the best choice right now. As Garchomp arrived a few meters above Dragalge Julian called for another dodge. Julian "Dodge with Aqua Tail" Dragalge used Aqua Tail and dragged it towards the left causing his body to be catapulted to the right and dodging the Dragon Rush. Garchomp crashed hard on the ground which caused the whole battlefield to shatter, web-like pattern spread across the whole battlefield while a massive pit formed right where Garchomp impacted the ground. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse" While Dragalge was still gliding over the battlefield with his tail covered in water, he turned his body and locked his eyes on the impact zone, and used Dragon Pulse at full power. Julian was not going to give his opponent''s pokemon any time to recollect itself. The Dragon Pulse tore through the air andnded on Garchomp, Garchomp who was covered by a dust cloud was pushed out of the pit into the opening and the dust cloud was pushed out of existence from the shockwave. The Garchomp seems to have sensed the iing attack and was sessful to cross its arms together to intercept the Dragon Pulse so it doesn''t make a direct impact on its body. Though Dragalge''s Dragon Pulse was very powerful, Mega Garchomp managed to block it with its bare hands which are shaped like scythe des. Though it is hurt from the attack, it couldn''t take it out. Garchomp growled and gritted its teeth while tolerating the pain, it red angrily at Dragalge as a weaker pokemon was able to cause it to hurt with just one attack. It hurt Garchomp''s pride. Chapter 1171 - Quarter-Finals (7) Garchomp then roared as loud as it could and aggressively opened its arms and sted the Dragon Pulse away, Dragalge also stopped attacking as he ran out of energy to continue the attack. The angry Garchomp then rushed towards Dragalge at full speed wanting to beat the shit out of him. Remo "Use Dual Chop" The two massive scythes glowed and got engulfed with blue destructive energy, Garchomp wanted to take out Dragalge with one hit and prove its dominance on the battlefield. But Julian was not going to let this happen, most of the time Julian has always been the trainer with pokemons that overpower his opponent''s pokemon but now his pokemon is far weakerpared to the opponent''s. This is where Julian''s battle knowledge will shine and show the world how great of a champion he really is, not only can he train overpowered pokemons, but he canmand the battlefield with much weaker ones as well. Julian got excited, he decided that he is going to win this battle with only Dragalge and defeat the Mega Garchomp, an impossible task in the eyes of everyone but this was another challenge for Julian. He is going to go all out for this. Julian "Dodge then use Protect" Dragalge used Aqua Tail again and propelled his body to the side but Garchomp didn''t want to let the little dragon escape, he was able to dodge the first chop but the second one won''t miss, Garchomp mmed its right leg hard on the ground diagonally and shot towards Dragalge with full speed pointing its glowing scythe at Dragalge. Dragalge had already created a sphere of protective shield around him. Julian "Aqua Tail again" At the veryst moment when Garchomp was about to make contact, Dragalge used Aqua Tail on the ground again which moved him to the side alongside his protective shield but this was not done to dodge Garchomp''s attack. As the sphere-shaped protective shield moved to the side, Garchomp''s iing chopnded on the edge and not on top, this caused all the energy to be dispersed to the side causing the sphere-shaped protective shield to act as a ball and shoot through the air. This was simple physics that Julian used. The energy behind Garchomp''s chop was so much that the ball of protective shield along with Dragalge traveled over 40 meters in a second. Dragalge quickly removed the protective shield around him and used Iron Tail and stabbed the ground to stop himself from being flung out of the battlefield. Julian "Now, Dragon Pulse" While Dragalge was still in the process of using Iron Tail and stopping himself, he also charged out a Dragon Pulse and sted it towards Garchomp. And to the normal eyes, it looked like Dragalge just used two moves at the same time, but what happened was the timing between the activation of these two moves was in centiseconds, but to normal eyes, they are no different. The Dragon Pulse was not less powerful either, it tore through the air and smashed on the left side of Mega Garchomp''s face causing it to rattle and push the monster and almost take off its feet of the ground. Garchomp was once again angered as the weak pokemon was about tond another hit on it. Remo also frowned as he had never seen moves implemented like this ever before. Remo ''No wonder they call him the greatest, even at a disadvantage, he is ying with my pokemon'' Remo thought and gritted his teeth. Remo "Garchomp, use Dragon w" Unlike Julian, Remo is not a very technical trainer like Julian, he uses brute force to defeat his opponents that are also why his choice of pokemons are dragons as they have the most destructive and powerful moves. Garchomp rushed towards Dragalge again with fury, the Dragon ws were massive and executed destructive energy. Garchomp is out for destruction. Julian "Use the same method again" Julianmanded. Dragalge once again used Protect just like before and when Garchomp was about to hit, he used Aqua Tail and moved to the side at the veryst second causing the Dragon w to make contact with the edges of the sphere causing it to fly away again. This frustrated Garchomp even more, every time it tried to attack Dragalge, Dragalge would do the same thing and escape Garchomp and then counter-attack with Dragon Pulse. Though a single Dragon Pulse didn''t show too many signs of damage on Garchomp, now all these Dragon Pulse started to build up and Mega Garchomp was showing signs of exhaustion and frustration. Dragalge was doing a simple dodge and attack strategy which worked perfectly against a brute force trainer like Remo. If Remo continues to do this, he is going to lose very badly and it would be a very embarrassing loss. To lose to a pokemon that is weaker than it and on top of that his own pokemon gone through a mega evolution, losing would be a massive blow to his reputation. Chapter 1172 - Quarter-Finals (8) Remo felt like he has been pushed into a corner, even though his Garchomp is clearly levels above his opponent''s pokemon it was still struggling. Remo needs to find a way to ovee this annoying strategy that Julian has introduced into the battlefield. Remo then suddenly thought of something and called for a Sand Storm. Listening to the order, Mega Garchomp roared causing the wind to go wild and sand engulfing the whole battlefield, soon anyone watching the battle couldn''t see anything going on the battlefield. Remo wants topletely cut off Dragalge''s vision so he cannot see Garchomp''s attack, Garchomp on the other hand thrives inside a Sand Storm, and with its ability Sand Force which it got after mega evolving, its ground, rock, and steel type moves will increase in power. Garchomp''s vision wasn''t obstructed by the Sand Storm, its gaze was locked on to Dragalge. Dragalge found it really hard to look around, his surrounding was covered with sands violently flying around, he could only see about a meter away from him and everything was just blurry. As a pokemon that mostly thrives underwater, being right in the middle of a sand storm is never advantageous to Dragalge. Seeing that its opponent has finally beenpromised, Garchomp got excited. Julian also kept a close eye on what is happening on the battlefield, like everyone his vision was alsopromised but he could still figure out where his Dragalge is and where his opponent''s pokemon is as well. Now it''s up to Julian to guide Dragalge on the battlefield, till now Dragalge had relied on his vision to move around and anticipate every move from Garchomp but now that his vision has beenpromised he has to rely on Julian. This is where a trainer needs to step up and prove that he is not just a trainer with a strong pokemon, he needs to show that he can guide his pokemons out of their predicament. Remo "Garchomp, use Dragon Pulse" Remo ordered. Remo is now being careful about it, he doesn''t want his Garchomp to get close to Dragalge and risk him escaping again, and getting close to Dragalge might expose Garchomp''s position on the battlefield. During the sand storm, all of Dragalge''s senses are cut off, he can''t hear his opponent, he can''t see his opponent, he can''t sense his opponent, right now Dragalge is in a vulnerable state. Hearing Remo''smand Garchomp charged up a Dragon Pulse and sted it towards Dragalge. Julian [Move to the right] While Dragalge couldn''t see his opponent, Julian could see him and he stepped forward tomand Dragalge out of trouble. Hearing Julian''s voice inside his head, Dragalge moved to the side and dodged the Dragon Pulse, as Dragalge dodged the Dragon Pulse, he quickly turned towards the direction from where it came from and shot his own Dragon Pulse towards Garchomp. Remo was surprised by what happened, even though it was a blur he could tell that Dragalge dodged that Dragon Pulse and countered with its own. Remo "Counter with Dragon Pulse!" Remo shouted. Garchomp saw the iing Dragon Pulse and sted its own towards it, the Dragon Pulse collided creating a massive shockwave, the power behind this shockwave was enough topletely remove the sand storm. This is what Julian wanted, he didn''t expect Remo to make a mistake this early, by making two powerful moves collide, the energy generated should be enough to get rid of the Sand Storm. Julian had nned to annoy his opponent and his pokemon so they would directly counter his Dragalge''s attack and they just did that. While the Sand Storm got cleared, the exchange between Dragalge and Garchomp has not ended, the two Dragon Pulses kept trying to get the upper hand. Dragalge was using all his power and tried his best to push back Garchomp while Garchomp has not fully used its power yet. Remo "Full power!" He shouted. Since the Sand Storm has been removed, he can now only rely on the Dragon Pulse right now, as soon as Garchomp got the instruction, it went all out and suddenly the size of its Dragon Pulse increased and started to st through Dragalge''s. Julian "Give up, there is no use to hold on, use Aqua Tail and get out of there". Julian ordered. Dragalge suddenly stopped his Dragon Pulse and used Aqua Tail to get out of the way, Garchomp''s Dragon Pulse thenpletely overpowered the remaining Dragon Pulse from Dragalge in the air and smashed into the inner walls of the stadium which caused the protective barrier of the stadium to activate and protect the people behind it. Julian "Icy Wind" As Dragalge made some distance Julian called for an Icy Wind, he has been on defense for too long, and now it''s time to finish this battle, and to do that he needs to take a big risk by exposing his Dragalge by going on the offense. Dragalge used Icy Wind sting cold air towards Garchomp, the freezing wind rushed towards Garchomp and started to freeze everything around it, Garchomp suddenly became sluggish as the coldness started to affect it. Since it''s four times weak to icy type moves the damage dealt was enough to put Garchomp in a disadvantageous position. It also dealt a heavy blow as well, though a weak movepared to other ice-type moves, it was still very effective against Garchomp. Garchomp''s legs went weak as the cold attacked its whole body, its joins started to feel the pain, no matter how strong a pokemon is, once its legs arepromised it will go down. Chapter 1173 - Quarter-Finals (9) Remo frowned as he saw his Garchomp take a knee, he didn''t expect his Garchomp would be the first one to take a knee. Julian, on the other hand, was not surprised at all, Remo''s Garchomp went all out during its attacks, it used multiple full power Dragon ws and Dual Chops which consume a lot of energy and with how frequently and aggressively it was throwing out these moves, it came as no surprise that Garchomp was the first one to get exhausted even though it had arger energy resource. The reason Dragalge was not too exhausted was that how efficiently he used his energy, he didn''t use big moves too often, and whenever he did, he didn''t go all out with it. While using protect, he used half the energy required and then relied on physics to do the trick for him. And with the final blow that was dealt by the Icy Wind, the exhausted Garchomp couldn''t hold up its massive body and gave into exhaustion. But this doesn''t mean that Julian has won yet, this Garchomp still has a lot more to give and with its nature, it was not likely to back down until the veryst moment. Till now Julian has been very careful in this battle, he was on the defensive the whole time, he can take risks but they have to be calcted risks, during the whole battle Dragalge is treated as a ss cannon, his attacks are good and will deal damage but he can crumble with just one hit from Garchomp. Remo "Garchomp, use Dragon Rush". While Garchomp was still on its knee it roared as loud as it could and channeled all of its dragon energy and covered its body whole, it thenunched itself into the air as the energy took the shape of a massive dragon and then charged towards Dragalge. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse, full power!" Julian ordered. Dragalge aimed at the iing Dragon Rush and sted a full power Dragon Pulse at it, the two moves collided created a powerful shockwave but the Dragon Rush was much stronger and it pushed right through the Dragon Pulse. Though it was able to push through the Dragon Pulse, the Dragon Rush has slowed down and lost its power. This loss was enough for Julian to take advantage of. Julian "Abandon and then use Protect" Dragalge abandoned Dragon Pulse and created arge wall of a protective shield in front of him, and within a few seconds Garchomp crashed against the protective shield, due to the impact cracks spread across the shield but it was enough to stop Garchomp in its tracks. The energy dragon around it dispersed into thin air revealing Mega Garchomp''s intimidating figure, the protective shield also shattered leaving nothing between the two pokemon. Julian then used this moment for his advantage. Julian ''Use Toxic" Julian ordered. As soon as the order was given, Dragalge shot a blob of poison at Garchomp which caught it off guard, because of this Garchomp was poisoned. As Garchomp is resistant to poison type attacks, the poison status will not have its full effect on Garchomp, but Julian has different ns for it, right now Garchomp is still too strong for Dragalge to take out so Julian will have to weaken it and the use of Toxic is the first step to achieving it. Garchomp shook its head aggressively as the blob of poison did hit its face directly. Remo was not that concerned by this as well, he knows that the poison status will slowly affect Garchomp but the effects won''t be detrimental to his performance in the battle. Remo "Use Dragon w" Now that both pokemons are so close to each other, Remo has finally found his opportunity to attack. Garchomp roared and used Dragon w with full power. Julian "Counter with Iron Tail" Julian decided to counter with Iron Tail and lessen the blow that Dragalge is about to receive. As Garchomp''s Dragon w came crashing down on Dragalge, Dragalge used Iron Tail and whipped it towards the Dragon w, due to these two moves colliding in the air, it created a thunderous sound followed by a destructive shockwave, even the ground beneath it couldn''t handle the impact and shattered. After the exchange, Dragalge crashed hard on the ground proving Garchomp''s superiority in strength. Dragalge, though put all his power behind that Iron Tail, could not counter Garchomp and received a massive blow, lucky the impact was not enough to knock him out. While Garchomp didn''t receive any damage from that attack, its hand rebounded up from the impact causing it to lose its bnce. Julian saw the opportunity he was waiting for. Julian "Now use Venom Drench" Dragalge who crashed on the ground didn''t care if he was in a disadvantageous position right now, he just sted a massive blob of venom towards Garchomp, Garchomp''s whole body got covered in this blob of venom and the effects started to take ce. Venom Drench is the type of move that lowers the opponent''s attack, special attack, and speed if the opponent is poisoned, the reason why Julian used Toxic even though won''t matter in the battle was because of this, he wanted to lower Garchomp''s advantage over Dragalge. As soon the venom seeped into Garchomp''s scale, it started to feel weak and sluggish. Remo gritted his teeth as he realized that his Garchomp has fallen into a disadvantageous stage again. Remo "Use Dual Chop!" He shouted. Remo became desperate and now just wants his Garchomp tond a hit on Dragalge. Julian "Dodge" By now Dragalge has recovered and he quickly used Aqua Tail and moved from his previous position causing Garchomp to hit the ground with Dual Chop. Julian "Venom Drench" As soon s Dragalge dodged he used another Venom Drench which slowed down Garchomp even more while reducing its attack and special attack at the same time. Chapter 1174 - Quarter-Finals (10) With another Venom Drench Garchomp''s stat continued to drop further and if this continues, even with the mega evolution, Garchomp will soon lose the advantage it has over Dragalge. Julian "Use Dragon Pulse" While Garchomp''s attacking powers have been lowered, its defense is still there but Julian is confident enough that his Dragalge can slowly chip away the Garchomp''s health and finally put the pokemon to sleep. This has be the longest battle of Julian''s career, this is the longest Julian has ever battled in a league battle. Seeing so much action the crowd is going wild. Dragalge once again charged up another Dragon Pulse and sted it at Garchomp, since its speed has also been reduced it couldn''t dodge the Dragon Pulse and got hit. Remo started to get frustrated, even after mega evolution, he didn''te out on top. Remo "Use Draco Meteor" Seeing none of his moves were working, he decided to bombard the whole battlefield with Draco Meteor, Garchomp roared and sent a bright ball of light up in the sky, the ball of light shot through the air and reached a certain height before exploding. As soon as the ball exploded, multiple energy meteors came crashing down onto the battlefield like rain, being showered by these meteors will be devesting. Julian quickly has toe up with a strategy to dodge this barrage of meteors. Even though Dragalge can use Aqua Tail to dodge, there is no way he cane to an abrupt stop and change direction, he will get hit by at least one meteor and that will be the end of it. Right now the only thing Julian needs to make sure that this Dragalge survives this Draco Meteor because after the shower ends, Garchomp''s special attack will fall even further. Julian "Use Protect and move around" Julian has still note up with a method to dodge this and Protect is only a temporary solution, Dragalge will be able to survive for a few seconds. Dragalge used Protect and started blocking the energy meteors while Julian carefully looked to see if there is any pattern he could exploit. As he watched energy meteors crash into the protective shield one after the other, causing cracks to appear and spread at a very fast rate, he knew that he has very little time right now then suddenly he thought of something as his eyes lit up. Julian "Quick, use Water Fall on yourself!" Julian ordered. Dragalge who is still behind the protective shield quickly used a full-powered Water Fall on himself, as a huge ck cloud formed a few meters about Dragalge and then water came crashing down on him. It was as if a massive amount of water if falling from a very high cliff, the volume, and force of this Water Fall is beyond an ordinary one. As soon as the Water Fall came crashing down, the protective shield over Dragalge shattered and he got engulfed by it, Dragalgepletely disappeared from everyone''s sight as water continued to drop down. As for the energy meteors, they also continued to fall they crashed against the Water Fall but as soon as these energy meteors came in contact with the Water Fall, they lost all their energy and disappeared. The Draco Meteor soon came to an end and so did the Water Fall, as the Water Fall disappeared everyone could see that Dragalge waspletely unscathed. Being a pokemon who lives near powerful water current surviving the Water Fall was not a hard thing for Dragalge to do. And now Garchomp''s special attack ispletely useless, Dragalge can easily tank its special attack. Remo gritted his teeth and decide to go on the attack again. Remo "Dragon w!" The exhausted Mega Garchomp growled and shot towards Dragalge once again but it was a big mistake. Julian "Protect" Hearing Julian, Dragalge used the same method he used at the beginning of the battle between him and Garchomp, he created a sphere of protective shield and then used Aqua Tail at the veryst moment to get flung through the air. As soon as Dragalge made some distance from Garchomp, he shot a powerful Dragon Pulse whichnded clean and finally sent the Mega Garchomp crashing on the ground. As soon as Mega Garchomp''s head hit the ground, its body glowed for a brief second and its mega evolution disappeared revealing the normal Garchomp underneath. Everyone thought that Garchomp got knocked out but it didn''t, it is still conscious, it''s very rare for a pokemon to still be conscious after losing its mega evolution but this Garchomp didn''t, it still gathered up its strength and got back to its feet. Julian knew it was time to end this battle. Julian "Use Draco Meteor" With this call, the fate of this battle was decided. Dragalge shot an energy ball up in the air which exploded and caused a meteor shower on the battlefield again, the exhausted Garchomp tried to dodge them but it was useless. It got hit by one meteor after the other until the shower finally ended and Garchomp could be seenying t on the ground. The referee looked at the Garchomp and was about to make the call but he suddenly noticed movement, to everyone''s surprise, Garchomp was still moving. Julian was shocked as well, he has seen pokemons try to get back to their feet after getting hit by a devastating blow and it is a surprising sight but this waspletely different. Surviving a Draco Meter is something else, no pokemon should be able to get up after getting hit by multiple energy meteors as each of these meteors hold an incredible amount of power. Garchomp gritted its teeth and pressed its arms against the ground and tried to get back to its feet, its arms shook a lot, its head even rose a few inches above the ground while its eyes were locked onto Dragalge with its fierce re but suddenly its eyes went nk and it lost all its power. It got nked out went cold, its head fell on the ground, and became motionless. Chapter 1175 - Studying Julian Julian sighed as he saw Garchomp finally go down, if that Garchomp had stood up, Julian would have been really shocked, he would acknowledge Remo as the greatest trainer. With Garchomp finally down and out cold, the referee finally was about to call for the result. Referee "Garchomp is unable to battle, Dragalge wins, the winner and the trainer advancing to the semi-finals is trainer Julian" The referee announced the result which caused an uproar, people who watched this battle still couldn''t believe how good it was, they were able to see world-ss performance from Julian and what every trainer should aspire to achieve. Even though Julian had a massive disadvantage in this battle, he dominated the whole time, his opponent was yed around the whole time. This just showed to the world how good Julian is really is as a trainer and he doesn''t need a powerful pokemon to be the strongest trainer in the world. Remo looked at his fallen Garchomp and suddenly shouted in frustration and anger, he trained a lot, he put a lot of resources in his pokemons so they could level up fast and be super strong. But it all came crashing down as he suffered a devastating loss in the hands of Julian, he never thought he would lose but he did. He red angrily at Julian and punched the ground in frustration multiple times, he then sent his Garchomp back to its Pokeball and walked out of the stadium, Julian just sighed seeing his opponent''s behavior and didn''t take it to heart. Losing in the quarter-finals can be frustrating so Julian didn''t me him. Julian also left the battlefield and went back to his house as the quarter-finals are over, the semi-finals will start soon, till then he will enjoy his time with his fianc¨¦es. ____________________ Julian''s win over Remo grabbed a lot of attention because this was Julian''s longest battle and the opponent he was facing was using a very over-leveled pokemon. His battle style and his strategies are not being studied by everyone, any trainer who wanted to improve their battle style observed his battles. And it was not only these trainers who aspired to be like him, even his opponents were carefully studying this battle. They wanted to learn how Julianes up with ways to counter moves that couldn''t be countered, to defeat Julian they need something more than strong pokemon and that is an extreme knowledge of the pokemon battle. After this battle they realized that their overpowered pokemon won''t matter when facing Julian, little did they know that even if they had better knowledgebined with overpowered pokemon it wouldn''t matter because Julian had his own overpowered pokemons in his team, namely Aegish and Porygon. These two pokemon that Julian own are beyond his other pokemons in the team, especially because of their talent and understanding of their own power. While his future opponents were studying Julian, there are also organizations that had their eyes on him. Especially the underworld, Julian though never had any frontal confrontation with them, they had their eyes on Julian for a long time now, they treat Julian as a massive threat because of his talent and because of his ownership of very powerful pokemons. Though they have no idea how strong Julian''s pokemons really are, they think they have a rough idea from all the data they got from that young boy. Right now a group of people sitting in a dark room carefully watching the battle that had just taken ce. "This is troublesome, from the looks of it the test subject J won''t seed". One of them said. "It doesn''t matter, any information about him is still useful, test subject J is just a prototype, the more data we have on him, the better the results will be". An old voice sounded around the room, though this person was not in the room he was also carefully observing this battle. "What if we don''t get anything new? What if he just sweeps through test subject J like his every other opponent?". Another one asked. "There is no need to worry, test subject J has pokemons stronger than that Garchomp, he took his time to take out the Garchomp so he will struggle against test subject J". Another one said. "Then we should be able to learn more about him, and I think that test subject J will be quite sessful, after all, he is based on Julian himself, hahahaha". One of them said andughed. "No need to be so confident, this is just the first phase of the experiment, the more data we have, the better the future test subjects will be". The old voice sounded once again all over the room. These people then continued to study the video and note down all important things they felt were necessary. ___________________ Julian returned to his house and he was greeted by a soft kiss on his lips by Chloe, she hade home early and wanted to spend the time with him. Since he had nothing to do, he spent his time with Chloe and waited for Cynthia and Daisy to join them soon. Chapter 1176 - The Creep Julio The four trainers who are in the semi-finals of the Kalos conference league are Julian, Ash, in, and Julio. These four names were in everyone''s mouth, every person wanted to talk about this and discuss who will be the winner of this conference league, most people, of course, were behind Julian but there were still a few who believed someone else wille out on top and dethrone Julian from his status as the strongest. The most likely candidate that people thought would win this battle is Julio, not Ash, not in. People didn''t believe in Ash or in winning this tournament as they have seen Julian and Ash battle before and even though he hase closest to challenging Julian he could never defeat Julian. They believed they would see nothing different this time as well if the two faced off again and as for in, people didn''t have much confidence in him either because they believed his level to be equal to Ash and if Ash is not winning in is not winning as well. Now the only one left is Julio, Julio is the mysterious dark horse of this tournament and he still hasn''t shown his full strength during any of his battles. People always liked to believe that something miraculous will happen, a dark horse will appear out of nowhere and dethrone the most favorable one to win, it was the same case for Julian as well. He was once an underdog, he had no fame nor did anyone know him but he came out of nowhere and swept through the Kanto league as if it was a breeze, he also became the champion by defeating Lance and iming the vacant seat of the champion. Now people want another moment like that. ____________________ Inside a dark empty room there was nothing but a chair, a table, and aputer which is turned on and is the only source of light in this room, and right in front of theputer sat a man in ck staring intensely at the screen. This man is none other than Julio and the video ying on the screen right in front of him is of Julian, it''s not thetest battle that Julian had in the quarter-finals, he has already watched that several times, this video dates back to Kanto. He is watching Julian''s battle against Lance and this is not the first time he is watching this battle, he has watched this battle multiple times and doesn''t n to make this thest one, he seems to be obsessed with it and the reason why he is obsessed with it is that he learns from them. Everything he has learned about battling is from watching Julian''s videos, he studies multiple videos every day as he was thought to do so. The more he looked at these videos the more he wanted to rece the figure in these videos, he wanted to be Julian andpletely rece him, he wanted everything that Julian has, his name, his fame, hispany, his lifestyle, and even his fianc¨¦es. In this empty dark room, if one pan to the left one could see posters of Chloe and Cynthia, there was also a board that had photos of Chloe, Cynthia, and Daisy on it, and these photos were not the ones that could be found on the inte. They seem to be taken from a private camera meaning that Julio actually stalked these three whenever he got the chance and took their photos. Once he was done with the footage of Julian, he stood up and looked at the board filled with photos of Julian''s three fianc¨¦es. Julio "Don''t worry, soon you all will be mi-- mine, I will rescue you from him... You all bel-- belong to be after-- after all". Julian whispered to himself and suddenly picked up a camera that was on an empty table and walked out of the room with his head covered by his ck hoodie. He soon made his way towards a movie set with his camera and since there are many people just like him with cameras in their hands and are here to get some photos of famous people for work. Julio was seen as just another man who is here to take photos of famous movies and tv stars, Julio first separated himself from the crowd and started to sneak around to find his target. After looking around for a while he heard a few backstage workers talking about Chloe and how she took a leave from shooting today to spend time with Julian. Hearing this pissed of Julio, from his perspective it is Julian''s fault for Chloe not being here, it is Julian''s fault that he cannot spend his time with his beloved Chloe. Julio ''How dare you take away my Chloe from me, I will make sure to humiliate you and show Chloe and others that you are inferior to me in every aspect, they will soon see your ws and I will be there to rece you''. Julio thought and decided to leave and go back to his room but he decided not to and took a detour towards the central part of the city and finally arrived in front of a massive skyscraper. This skyscraper is home to many massive corporations and one of them is also where Daisy works, he carefully surveyed the surroundings and realized that he cannot get in without any ID so he thought of something. Julio ''Since you took away Chloe from me, I will not let you do the same to Daisy, I will be the one to take her with me'' Julio thought and took out a Pokeball and realized a pokemon, the pokemon he released is Gengar. Julio "Gengar, use Hypnosis on those guards". Julio ordered his Gengar to do so, his Gengar stared mindlessly at the guards and disappeared into the shadows and headed towards them, his Gengar was very different from a normal Gengar, it didn''t seem to have any sign of intelligence in its eyes. It was as if this Gengar was just there to listen to orders and perform them. The Gengar soon appeared below one of the guards and use Hypnosis on all of them sending them into a trance, taking his chance Julio entered through the gate. He didn''t stop there and ordered his Gengar to perform mass Hypnosis on everyone present so no one suspects him. His Gengar did as he ordered and everyone present on the floor whether they are people or pokemons fell in a trance as Julio made his way through the ID checking section and walked towards the elevator. Chapter 1177 - Daisys Encounter With The Creep Once Julio was inside the elevator everyone who was in trance came out of it, since the hypnosis state onlysted for a few seconds no one noticed at all, they continued with whatever they were doing without even realizing it. Julio was continuously tapping his legs as the elevator continued to head up, it finally stopped on the intended floor, he stopped tapping his legs and walked out. Since he is already here people didn''t think much of it as someone who has not been authorized cannot be here. Julio walked around but also made sure to not stand out and get noticed by someone and be suspected to be a creep. After looking around, he finally found his target. He is now looking at a beautiful woman with brown hair wearing a very cute green color dress as she is talking to one of her co-workers, right in front of her is a Furfrou which she is grooming. This woman is none other than Daisy and she seems to be busy with her work, Julio stares at her with eyes filled with obsession, there is nothing in this world he wants more than take Daisy away with him. Julio ''Today, you will be mine''. He thought and decided to make his move, his Gengar is still very close to him waiting for another order. Julio "Use Hypnosis on the entire floor". Julio ordered. Hearing his order, his Gengar raised its arm and suddenly sent out a burst of pulse all across the floor causing every person and pokemon to fall in a trance. Seeing everyone had been fallen into a trance Julio got excited and made his way towards Daisy but what he didn''t notice was Daisy was not affected by the hypnosis at all. Daisy was alsopletely focused on grooming the Furfrou that she didn''t notice the sudden change that took ce around her. As Julio got closer to Daisy he finally noticed that Daisy was still using her scissors without being affected by the hypnosis, he was shocked, he didn''t understand what was happening. Daisy''s focus was shattered as she felt something was off, he looked up and saw the Furfrou in a dazed state, he looked around and saw other people and pokemon were also in a dazed state. She started to panic and look around and finally saw a man in ck standing a few meters away from her, she looked at this man and suddenly felt disgusted, she never had such emotions towards a man ever in her life. There were, of course, some creeps who would lust over her and she would just ignore them but this man made her feel disgusted, his presence itself made her want to beat him up. Julio "How are you not a-- aff--affected by it?" He stuttered and asked Daisy while his eyes continued to stare at her body. Daisy "Who are you, what are you doing here and what have you done to all of them?" Daisy asked. She is not an idiot, it is very clear that the reason behind everyone falling into a trance is because of this man, and for reasons, she is not in a trance is because of Julian and she knows it. Ever since he has been with Julian, she felt stronger, she became more beautiful and she also felt a lot smarter, and now she knows that she doesn''t seem to be affected by mind maniption as well. She was d that she was not affected because if she was she couldn''t imagine what would have happened, she then suddenly realized that even if she did fall into a trance nothing will really happen as she is not the only one who is not affected. At the corner of the room is a pokemon lying on the ground with his eyes staring coldly at Julio, this pokemon is none other than Flygon, one of Julian''s pokemon and the one he gave to Daisy for her protection. Julio had, of course, not noticed Flygon at all, he was too focused on Daisy. Julio "It doesn''t ma--matter who I am, I am here t-t-t-t-to take you away with me, you belong to me after all" Julio said with a creepy smile on his face, hearing his words caused Daisy to be even more disgusted by this man, by now she knows that she is the target, this man came here for her but she doesn''t know why. Daisy "What do you mean I belong to you, I don''t even know who you are" Daisy imed. Julio "H-how can y-y-you not know m-m-me, I a-am your soul mate, w-we are meant to be together" He answered while clearly being very pissed about Daisy''s reply. Daisy frowned and realized that he is a stalker, she had always felt that someone was watching her but since she is always in the spotlight she believed it is one of those paparazzi but now it is clear that she has a stalker issue and a very serious one. She carefully observed this man and realized something, this man dressed just like her love, Julian, his clothes, his hairstyle, his shoes, this man was clearly trying to imitate Julian. Seeing this almost made herugh out loud, she even let out a small chuckle. Julio "W-why are youughing?" He asked. Daisy "I see what you are doing! You are dressing up like Julian, trying to be like him, I think you are more obsessed with my fianc¨¦ than me, should I be jealous?" She said. Hearing her taunts pissed off Julio. Julio "I a--am not trying to be like him, I am him, soon I will rece him, I will take whatever he has, what is his is mine, so you are mine, Chloe is mine, Cynthia is mine!" Julio dered. Daisy frowned again as she realized that the problem is even bigger. Chapter 1178 - Powerful Move And Escape Daisy realized that the person that is standing in front of her is more fucked up than she imagined, not only is he a creepy stalker, he is also obsessed with her fiance, so much that hepletely wants to rece Julian and take everything he has. Whether it is his name, money, or women, he wants them all. She then remembered talking to Chloe about stalkers one day and how she also felt that someone was watching her sometimes, they brought this up to Cynthia and she also expressed the same concern but since all three of them are women with fame and status, they believed that they were just followed by paparazzi but the more Daisy thinks about it, the more she is leaning towards the idea of this man being the stalker who is stalking all three of them. Daisy "You are disgusting!" Daisy finally voiced out her opinion, she was not afraid of this man, not only is she physically stronger than the average man, but she also has a trump card up her sleeve given to her by her beloved, there is no way she is going to be in trouble against a cheap imitation of the person she loved, someone who is perfect in her eyes. She also realized why she was so disgusted by this man in front of her, this man tried to imitate Julian, be like him, look like him, and in the process he tainted Julian''s image in her mind, and there was nothing worse than someone ruining her beloved''s name and image in her mind. Julio heard her words directed towards him and felt hurt, his feelings went haywire, the woman he was obsessed with and believes to be madly in love with is disgusted by him. Julio "W-- why? I-i-i-i-i am b-be-better than him in every aspect so w-why him?" Julio sounded frustrated and his voice started to rise up. Daisy "I don''t even know who you are and even if I knew you, you would neverpare to my Julian, you are just a person who is trying to imitate him and it is not even that good" Daisy mocked him. This pissed of Julio even more. Julio "Th-that''s it, I have had it enough, I-I-I-I am taking you with me, Gengar trap her" Julio ordered. Suddenly a Gengar emerged out of his shadow and rushed towards Daisy at full speed, this caught her by surprise and panic could be seen in her eyes, though she could take on a human, a pokemon can seriously hurt her. But before Gengar could even get close to her, a destructive Dragon Pulse tore through the air and mmed into the Gengar, and sent it through multiple walls of the building and out of the skyscraper. The Gengar was knocked out on impact and went it was sent shooting through the air, it didn''t stop, it continued flying through andnded on the outskirts of the city. Julio who was expecting his Gengar to capture Daisy was stunned, he then quickly turned his head towards the corner of to room to see a Flygon staring at him coldly, meeting with the Flygon''s gaze sent a chill down his spine. He recognized this Flygon as he has seen it many times in the video footage of Julian. He never thought that one of Julian''s pokemon would actually be here but what surprised him more was the power behind that attack, he could swear that Flygon was not this powerful in all his study footage. No pokemon should be able to grow this strong in such a short time span, it was very well known knowledge that once a pokemon reaches an elite level, it bes harder for them to level up and be stronger, every level up takes years, and each level up also brings a lot of power. But this Flygon disyed powers that Julio had never seen before. He didn''t understand how Flygon was so powerful but before he could think of anything, every person on the floor came to their sense and became aware of the attack, they looked at Flygon and then looked at the man in ck. Everyone knew that Flygon belongs to Daisy and is also Julian''s personal pokemon so no one suspected it to go out of control, so everyone believed that the man in ck did something wrong. Some of the workers even realized that something was wrong with him as they suddenly can''t remember what happened in the past few minutes. Julio realized that without his Gengar, the hypnosis wore off and it is now his time to make a run, he didn''t waste any time and turned around to make a run for his life. Flygon was of course, not going to let this man run away, he pped his wings and shot towards Julio, Julio sensed that Flygon was right after him and there is no way he can outrun this monster. So he gritted his teeth and took out a disk from underneath his coat and tossed it on the ground and jumped on it hard, as soon as his feet touched the disk, the disk suddenly created a cylindrical forcefield around Julio and thenunched him out of the building at Mach speed. The disk tore through the walls of the sky scraped and disappeared into the sky before Flygon could catch up, Flygon could easily chase after the disk with his speed but decided not to, his task was to stay close to Daisy and protect her, not catch the culprit. Flygon returned back to Daisy and rubbed his face against her asking for praise to which Daisyplied with a smile. Unlike Julian who always trained his pokemons and made them follow a strict regime, Daisy spoiled Flygon by showering him with love and giving him delicious food to it, if not for the fear ofgging behind his friends, Flygon would havepletely abandoned training. Luckily Julian had made sure to install hard-working nature into all of his pokemon so even with all the love and affection Flygon continued to train. Daisy "Good work Flygon, I will make sure darling knows about your bravery" Daisy said with a smile. Chapter 1179 - Anger People were still confused as to what just happened, there was chaos amongst them as they saw their workce being almost destroyed, they looked at the Flygon with aplicated expression. Everyone knew Flygon and all of them loved him, he was gentle, kind, and sometimes mischievous but this is the first them they have seen his destructive side, they were so used to the gentle Flygon that theypletely forgot that this pokemon helped Julian win in the league and went on to defeat the champion with him as well. They also wondered what just happened and it didn''t take them long enough to realize that they were all put in a trance by the man in ck who just escaped and it looks like Flygon saved them. Due to all themotion, the guards finally rushed in to be greeted by the sight of two massive holes that spread through multiple walls of the skyscraper, one went horizontal piercing through the walls of the floor and the other went vertical piercing through the roof. Thetter of course created by Flygon with his Dragon Pulse and the vertical one that went up was created by the escapee. The guards were soon informed as to what happened by one of the workers as to how they were put in a trance by the man in ck and how Flygon saved them all. After getting all the information from all the witnesses, the guards quickly went to work, the very first question that popped in their mind was how did this man enter the building without any form of ID. And when they checked the CCTV camera, they saw how every person at the entrance and ground floor fell into a trance and this was all caused by the man in ck''s Pokemon Gengar. Since the man has his face covered they couldn''t see his face and could only inform the higher-ups about it, they cannot tell the public about this as it would ruin their reputation. They need to do everything in private and find the culprit, the higher-ups wanted to just ignore this but they couldn''t. The very first reason is that two explosions took ce and the public clearly heard it. Second, one of the victims involved in this is Daisy and she is none other than Julian''s lover. Even if they could ignore the public, they cannot ignore Julian as he wille searching for them and no one wants to get on his bad side. Thepany that Daisy works for soon informed the media about the incident and covered it up as faulty machines exploding and luckily there were no casualties. This would lead the public to discuss it for a day then forget about it. The higher-ups also made sure to inform the league about this incident because anything that is remotely involved with Julian has to go through them, once the league found out what happened, they quickly went to work on it to find the culprit. _____________________ Julian who was currently on top of Chloe with his massive cock deep inside her pussy fucking her to oblivion as he released a massive load deep inside her womb while she squirted vigorously. Suddenly his phone went off, he pulled out his cock from Chloe''s pussy as shey on the bed exhausted and his cum dripped out of her gaping pussy. Julian looked at the number and realized that it was from the league, he picked it up and talked to the person on the other side, as he continued to listen, his hands trembled in anger and he crushed his phone ending the call in an instant. Chloe who was in bliss snapped out of her state as she heard Julian crushing his phone, she got worried seeing Julian''s expression, Julian rarely gets angry so she realized that something bad must have happened. Chloe "Darling, what happened?" She asked. Julian "It''s about Daisy, someone broke into her workce and tried to kidnap her, luckily Flygon was right there to save her" Julian said. Hearing this Chloe also trembled in anger, someone actually dared to even think about causing harm to their family, this was uneptable. Chloe "Where is Daisy?" She asked worriedly. Julian "Don''t worry, she ising here right now, there are still some info missing, Daisy will exin and then we can deal with that motherfucker" Julian said with a cold voice. Chloe nodded her head and cleaned up after herself, she didn''t want toy there naked and wee Daisy after what happened, if this had not happened, she would have definitely done it to tease Daisy but not today. Soon Daisy arrived at their home and Chloe rushed towards her and gave her a hug, Julian also followed right behind her and checked if Daisy has been injured or not, seeing there are no signs of injury Julian sighed in relief. Daisy consoled Chloe that nothing happened to her and Flygon came to the rescue before anything could go wrong. Julian "Chloe, why don''t you get us some water while I talk to Daisy" Julian said. Chloe nodded and went to the kitchen while Julian guided Daisy to the couch and both of them sat down. Julian "Now tell me, what happened" Julian said. Daisy nodded and soon started to tell him everything that happened, how everyone fell into a trance, her meeting something that was imitating him, that man being a stalker, and how he stalked not only Daisy but Chloe and Cynthia as well. She also told him about how this man imed that he would rece Julian and take everything from him. The more Julian listened to Daisy, the more certain he was that this person is none other than Julio, from how he described his appearance, only one person came to Julian''s mind. Chloe was also very shocked to hear about this, she also shared her experience about feeling being stalked by someone. Julian "Don''t worry, I will make sure this son of a bitch never looks at a woman again" Julian said coldly. Chloe and Daisy also supported his ideas, to them their family alwayses first, and if anyone even tries to cause them even a little harm, they will have to suffer the worse. Chapter 1180 - Semi-Finals (1) After learning about the situation, Julian couldn''t help but wait to get his hands on Julio, as he continued to discuss it with Chloe and Daisy, he received another call from the league. The league then informed him that they found out who this person is and as Julian guessed, it was Julio. They asked Julian if they should deal with him and disqualify him from the league but Julian told them not to take any action. He wanted to destroy any belief that Julio had and after doing that he would take care of him personally. ___________________ On the outskirts of Lumiose city, a cylindrical glowing object suddenly came crashing down and dug halfway into it, the glow then suddenly disappeared revealing a man inside, the man suddenly kneeled down in pain and clutched his stomach. Though he escaped from his disastrous situation, thending was still very rough, falling from a great height at incredible speed caused a lot of bacshes, and even though the machine was very high tech it couldn''t protect the man from the bacsh. The man bore through the pain and stood up, luckily none of his organs were messed up after that fall, this man is none other than Julio. Afternding hard he gritted his teeth in anger, he was so close to his goal but just one Flygon ruined it. If that Flygon was not there Daisy would have been with him and he could have started a new happy life. Julio "Next time, I will make sure to take everyone with me, Daisy, Chole, and Cynthia, they all will be mine after I finally defeat that bastard" Julio said and made his way back towards the city while still clutching his stomach. What he didn''t know was that his actions had just caused his own downfall. ____________________ The day of the semi-finals arrived but Julian didn''t get the person he wanted to face, he was actually going against in in the semi-final round. Julian is already sitting in the waiting room along with Ash as he will be facing Julio, Julian observed Ash and saw that he was very excited to face Julio. Julian wondered how Ash will really fare against Julio, from what he has observed until now, Julio can be considered one of the best trainers since his battle style is simr to Julian''s and he still has not revealed his full strength. While Ash also seems to be holding back till now as his Pikachu who is his ultimate equalizer has still not stepped on the battlefield, Julian can tell that Ash is waiting to bring the cute little rat out when he faces an opponent that has pushed him at the very edge. And Julian believes that Ash will be pushed in this battle and he just hopes that Ash will be able to handle Julio. Julian is also looking for his battle against in as he wants to see how much the young man hase, from his knowledge in is still working for Lysander but he still seems to be in the dark. Julian wondered what in will do when he finds out what kind of person Lysander really is, in Julian''s eyes in is a good kid and he will definitely feel betrayed when he finally finds out. Ang has been keeping him updated about Lysander''s situation and from what he is nning, Julian is not worried at all, he can easily take care of the Zygarde core that Lysander ns to control and take over the city. Once he is done with Lysander, he should also be able to find out what Lysander is really nning because if his n is to just use Zygarde and take the city hostage, it is a prettyme n. Or maybe Julian''s standard for viins has just risen up after taking care of world-ending disasters. Well, maybe Julian is hoping that whatever Lysander has nned would be something that can at least make it a little challenging for Julian. Now that Julian has pokemons who can easily take on the whole world, the concept of viinous organizations doesn''t make him think much, even if they seed in doing whatever they had nned Julian will still be able to get rid of them with his Snox or Gengar or Infernape or his every other pokemon that have broken their limit. _________________ And as for now, Julian put the thought aside and decided to focus on the uing match against in, he waited for a few minutes before a backstage worker came and informed Julian that he is up next. Julian bid farewell to Ash as he made his way towards the entrance of the battlefield, he could hear the crowd cheering for him like always, they are very eager to see him again. Hisst battle was great and people wanted another great and they were hoping their eyes will be blessed by Julian again. He waited for the announcer to introduce him so he could enter the battlefield. But before him, the one to be introduced was in, as in heard his name, he walked into the battlefield, even though he is a little nervous he took a deep breath and calmed down his heart. He has had this battle once before and lost miserably and he might go through it again but he likes to believe that he has improved a lot and will be able to have a better battle against Julian. He entered the battlefield, took his position on the battlefield and looked at the other side of the battlefield waiting for Julian to step in. Chapter 1181 - Semi-Finals (2) Once in was on the battlefield, the crown continued to cheer for Julian as they got ready to wee him, the announcer soon began his awesome introduction for Julian. It was as if the announcer spends hours every daying up with special sentences just to introduce Julian, it was very clear to everyone by now that the announcer is a big fan of Julian, and even though he has to be impartial for the job, he wasn''t. Like every other person in the stadium, he was more biased towards Julian. After his grand introduction, Julian entered the battlefield and he was greeted by cheers like always, he waved at his fans and they cheered louder. One thing Julian never got tired of was this experience, all these people screaming his name like no tomorrow was definitely was a huge ego boost even though he knows it''s not a good thing but having human emotions and feelings won''t allow him to not enjoy it. He took his position on the battlefield and waited for the referee to begin the battle, the referee soon stepped into the battlefield as well and began the usual steps to start the battle. First, he exined the rules, then he asked both of them to choose their pokemon. Julian sent his first pokemon into the battlefield, the pokemon that entered from his side is witzer. Seeing Julian''s choice, in sent out the pokemon he believed will be able to take down Julian''s witzer Jolteon, and it is indeed a very good choice, first it is a pure electric type and on top of that Jolteon is fast, very fast and witzer will have to work hard to lock onto Jolteon andnd a sessful hit. But Julian is not worried, even though witzer is not very fast Julian knows that is his weakness and he also knows how to make it not affect him in a battle against an opponent like Jolteon. With both pokemons on the battlefield, the referee gave the signal to start the battle. in "Use Quick Attack" in went first and went for a move that is extremely fast and very hard to dodge. Julian "Use Vice Grip" Julian took the chance, he decided to take the chance to get hit but deal harder damage to his opponent. Jolteon used Quick Attack and bolted towards witzer leaving behind a trail of white light, as soon as Jolteon was about to make contact with witzer, he used his massive w to block his body as it is subjective to more damage than his hard w. Jolteon crashed hard into the w and pushed witzer back a little but as soon as its momentum ended, it was wide open for an attack, and with a pokemon as experienced as witzer he is not going to lose this chance tond the finishing blow. He suddenly used his massive w and got a hold of Jolteon right between its w and used Vice Grip to crush Jolteon. Jolteon tried to escape but witzer lifted his w up in the air topletely separate Jolteon from the ground as it continued to wriggle in witzer''s w, but due to the jagged edges on the w Jolteon couldn''t continue to wriggle as it caused a lot of pain. The grip continued to tighten and Jolteon''s struggle started to weaken, seeing his Jolteon in trouble in quickly thought of a counter-attack. in "Use Thunderbolt" inmanded. Jolteon who is getting crushed gritted its teeth bearing the pain and sted a powerful Thunderbolt around its body, the Thunderbolt engulfed witzer instantly shocking him to the core. The Thunderbolt was enough to loosen the grip and Jolteon was finally able to wriggle out of it and crashed on the ground. Julian "Crab Hammer" As soon as Jolteon fell to the ground, it didn''t realize that witzer''s w is alreadying down on it, the massive w covered in water energy crashed hard on the Jolteon smashing it hard on its head and nting it deep into the ground. The impact sent tremors through the battlefield as it felt like a mini earthquake and as witzer lifted its w everyone saw Jolteon inches deep in the groundpletely out cold. Referee "Jolteon is unable to battle, witzer wins" The referee called for a result. in was shocked, he thought that his Jolteon should have been able to escape but what he didn''t notice was his Jolteon was in no shape to escape at all. After getting Vice Gripped right in the middle of its body, its spine was gettingpressed and its breath was being squeezed out of it, its whole body was going numb from that crushing grip. But at thest moment, Jolteon was able to gather enough energy to shock witzer and it was very effective, the Thunderbolt was able to deal damage to witzer but it didn''t incapacitate him. As soon as Jolteon hit the ground, it couldn''t get back to its feet as its whole body was numb and unresponsive, and then the Crab Hammer descended and ended it with one go. in looked at his Jolteon and sent it back to its Pokeball so he can send out his next pokemon into the battlefield. Chapter 1182 - Semi-Finals (3) Having no sess with Jolteon, in decided to go with something more powerful and defensive and so he sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield. He tossed the Pokeball up in the air from which escaped a bright light and a massive pokemon materialized in the middle of the battlefield, the sun''s bright rays rted from its exterior as the pokemon released a majestic pressure. The pokemon that entered the battlefield is Metagross, its four massive limbsnded hard on the ground sending tremors through the battlefield. Julian nodded at in''s choice, witzer cannot use his ws against a pokemon that is so big and tough, even if witzer is capable of crushing rocks with his ws there is no way he can put a dent on the hard metallic body of Metagross. Julian knows it because he has also trained a Metagross and he knows what to expect from it, the only way witzer can deal damage to this pokemon is through blunt brute force through his ws, his crushing grip will bepletely useless against Metagross. Seeing that Julian had no intention to switch his pokemon the referee continued the battle. in "Metagross, use Hammer Arm" With hismand his Metagross lifted its heavy limbs of the ground, floating in mid-air, suddenly rushed towards witzer with full speed, each of its arms glowing as they radiated destructive pulse of energy from them. Julian "Use Protect" Julian knew that the iing attack will be very hard to dodge but he already has a n to counter it, witzer used Protect and suddenly created a forcefield around him to block the iing attack. As Metagross got close to witzer, it suddenly extended all its limbs straight making it look like a cross from above, it then suddenly started to spin like a spinning top. If one looked from above they would see a fancy glowing spiral. The spinning Metagross ripped through the air and crashed hard against the protective shield, and because of the continuous barrage of Hammer Arms, the Protect shattered in a second. Julian was surprised by this but it was enough for him. With how fast Metagross was spinning, all of its arms made contact with the protective shield which reduced the power of all Hammer Arms. Julian "Quick, use Surf" As soon as Metagross got past the protective shield, witzer released a surge of extremely powerful waves of crashing water all around him. Because of the sudden outburst of water all over the area, the spinning Metagross came to a stop and it couldn''t hand any Hammer Arm on witzer. Now that it is has stopped being a crazy spinning wrecking ball Julian has the chance to take advantage of it and he is not an amateur to miss it. Julian "Now, Dark Pulse" Since Metagross is right in front of the w there is no escaping from this, witzer snapped open his w and sted a powerful Dark Pulse right on Metagross''s face. The Dark Pulse made contact with Metagross at point-nk range sending the massive pokemon shooting through the air. After a few meters, Metagross came to a stop as it stabilized itself, even though the hit was at point-nk it couldn''t knock out Metagross. Metagross hummed in anger and red angrily at witzer. in "Use sh Cannon" Metagross used its two limbs and aimed it at witzer, a ball of glowing light formed between the two limbs which was then released in form of a highly pressurized beam. Julian "Counter with Scald" witzer snapped open his w and sted a hot jet of water, the two moves shed right in the middle of the battlefield. While sh Cannon is destructive and cold, Scald is sharp and hot. Both attacks try to counter each other but no move came out of the top, it was as if both moves were canceling each other. The exchangested for a few seconds before both moves faded as they ran out of energy. Julian ''This battle might drag on if this continues'' Julian thought and decided to switch pokemon, he took out witzer''s Pokeball and sent him back, he then sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield. Aegish entered the battlefield in his Shield Form. in looked at Julian''s choice and wondered what he should do about it, he wondered if he should continue with Metagross or switch his pokemon. After thinking for a few seconds he decided to switch as well, he sent Metagross back to its Pokeball and sent out his Charizard, his final pokemon. As soon as Charizard was out, he didn''t even waste a single second to mega evolve his Charizard. The light from his keystone fused with the mega stone around Charizard''s neck which soon triggered the evolution, Charizard started to change, the shape of its wings, its size, and as the light disappeared Mega Charizard X was revealed. Even with Charizard mega evolving Julian was not worried because Aegish was on the battlefield and Julian knows this battle will notst long, even with Charizard''s mega evolution. in "Use Dragon Rush" With in''s call, his Charizard charged at Aegish as a massive dragon made of energy aiming forplete demolition. Julian "King''s Shield" Aegish used King''s Shield in an instant, a image of a massive shield appeared in front of him putting ayer of protection around him. in looked at this and realized that he made a mistake. When Charizard makes contact with Aegish it will reduce its attack stat. King Shield is a very unique move that only Aegish can use, this move will protect Aegish from any type of move, whether it is a physical or special attack but this move can only be used when he is in his Shield Forme, another ability of King Shield is that any contact move from an opponent will reduce the opponent''s attack stats which is equal to crippling the opponent if it is a physical attacker. Chapter 1183 - Semi-Finals (4) As Metagross charged at Aegish at full speed there was no way Metagross is going to change direction to avoid King Shield. And because of this, the Dragon Rushnded on Aegish causing a massive explosion, the ground beneath them shattered into fragments of dust, and the other area of the battlefield was covered with cracks that spread like a web. The shockwave that followed was not small either, it traveled through the whole battlefield, and even the audience got to experience it as they felt the impact all over their body, luckily the shockwave isn''t harmful, or else the stadium''s defense forcefield would have been activated. Everyone watched curiously as the smoke faded away and everyone could see Mega Charizard X just standing there huffing air, it used all its power behind that attack but it only suffered from a bacsh as Aegish didn''t even move an inch, all the damage just got reflected and on top of that because of making contact with King Shield, its attack suddenly went down. Julian "Finish it, Sacred Sword" Aegish suddenly changed form and turned into his de Forme, his de then suddenly glowed and shed at Charizard in the blink of an eye. Charizard didn''t even see iting, there was just a sh of white thin light across Charizard''s body which then suddenly exploded in form of a chain reaction, once the chain reaction ended Charizard just stood there motionless as its mega evolution suddenly faded away revealing the regr Charizard. The Charizard suddenly went on its knees and then copsed on the ground, the referee quickly checked on it and found out that Charizard has been knocked out. Referee "Charizard is unable to battle, Aegish wins" The referee made the call. This shocked everyone, they thought that a mega evolved Charizard should have put up a better fight but it didn''t, it got destroyed by a single move from Aegish. in was shocked, he didn''t expect this, he thought his chances of surviving were pretty high but it looks like it was all in his head. Julian on the other hand expected this, this is the first time a pokemon of his just outssed other pokemons in his team, Aegish is improving so fast that he might even catch up to Julian''s old pokemons. His strength has even surpassed Porygon who is a livingputer and can calcte millions of possibilities in a second but it still cannot keep up with how fast Aegish is growing. When Julian first caught Aegish he was very happy as he found one of the best pokemons to train but as time went by he realized that how ridiculous his Aegish really is. Even without Julian''s help Aegish could have be a champion-level pokemon, he wouldn''t even need a trainer, he could have be a champion-level pokemon in the wild and might have even surpassed it. But with Julian''s help, he might even be able to break the limiter and pass level 100, breaking the level 100 limiter is near impossible, even some of Julian''s pokemon from the Hoenn region have not broken the limiter. His Kanto pokemons have broken the limiter but some of them are stuck in level 101, the only pokemons who are continuing to level up without any issue are Infernape and Snox, even Gengar is stuck in his current level. But what Julian has observed till now, Aegish will soon break the limiter and might soon surpass some of Julian''s Kanto pokemons. With such talent and ability, there was no way in''s Charizard was going to win. With his Charizard down, in had to send back his Metagross back into the battlefield and he once again went for a mega evolution. Though there is no limit to mega evolve pokemons during a battle, seeing two mega evolutions by the same person in a battle has not been seen before. Bright lights shed on the battlefield as Metagross started to change, its body became bigger, its arms changed forms as they started to look more menacing, As the light faded away mega Metagross roared out loud dering its presence n the battlefield. Even with a mega evolved pseudo legendary pokemon will not make Julian break a sweat, Aegish will just overpower this pokemon no matter what. Julian "Use Sacred Sword" Julian didn''t wait this time, the faster the battle ends the earlier he can watch the battle between Ash and Julio. Aegish pointed the end of his de at Metagross and shot towards it while also leaving a trail of light behind him. in "Use Protect" Metagross suddenly put up a forcefield in front of it trying to block the iing attack, but as Aegish got closer, the air was cut leaving a weird gap in space while his de hummed. As Aegish made contact with the shield with its sharp end it went just right through it, the de was able to go past the shield as if going through butter but as the hilt came in contact with the shield it severely stopped his momentum but it was enough to shatter the shield. Though Aegish''s momentum was stopped the edge of the de did make contact with Metagross and sent it a few meters back but it was able to survive. in "Use sh Canon" in "Shield Forme, King Shield" Before Metagross could even charge up the move he switched his form and activated King Shield, Metagross sted a powerful sh Cannon at Aegish but the move had no effect on Aegish as King Shield took all the damage. Chapter 1184 - Semi-Finals (5) Realizing that the sh Cannon waspletely useless, there was no way he is going to damage Aegish if he is in his shield form, the only way in has a chance to evennd a hit is to make his Metagross vulnerable. Knowing this in decided to take the risk. in "Use Bullet Punch" in called for a physical attack that will lower his Metagross''s guard which should make Aegish change form to attack it but if Aegish doesn''t change form this might put Metagross at risk of losing its attack powers aftering in contact with King Shield. And to in''s worst nightmare Julian didn''t order Aegish to switch forms, he stuck with the shield form and told Aegish to use King Shield again, because of this Bullet Punch made contact and Metagross''s attack state took a pummeling. With its physical attack stat down, its only choice is to use its special attacks but Julian has other ns for Metagross. He saw through what in was trying to do and he didn''t take the bait and now that Metagross ispletely exposed, he will take this opportunity to end this battle. Julian "Sword form, Night sh" Aegish quickly switched form and aimed his de at Metagross as a pinkish-purple aura radiated from his de, once he was charged up he shed at Metagross leaving behind a thin line of bright pinkish-purple light which then suddenly exploded in Metagross''s face sending the giant crashing on the ground. Metagross''s mega evolution faded away revealing his true form, the referee then rushed towards Metagross to check on it and found that the giant has been put to sleep. Referee "Metagross is unable to battle, Aegish wins, the winner of this battle and the trainer advancing to the finals is Julian" With the referee''s call Julian was dered the winner,pared to the previous battle that Julian had this one seemed a lot easier but it was not, people just thought that in was weakpared to Remo but that is not the case as well. in lost so easily is because Aegish was used in this battle. People just misunderstood this situation because of how Julian presented himself today, Julian had no reason to use Aegish in this battle at all, he could use other pokemons and easily win as well but he didn''t he wanted to show off this time, not to the crowd but to Julio. He wanted that bastard to see what he will be going up against and suffer from the mental pressure that is about to fall upon him. And as Julian has nned, Julio is having a mental breakdown right now. Inside the waiting room, Julio is looking at the screen with his eyes bulged out as he is gripping his hair in anger and frustration, he saw what Julian just did and he is smart enough to know that he is no match for Julian''s Aegish. Julio "How can this be, there is no way he should be this strong, no, no, I don''t believe it, I was created to be better than him in every possible way so why is he so strong, this doesn''t make sense, I need to win, I need to win, I need to win, I need to win, I need to win" Julio then started to go back and forth as he continued to have his mental breakdown, he was not in the right might right now, he knows he cannot win but he has toe up with a way to deal with Julian. He wants this more than anything, to take his position, to take his fiancees, to take his reputation, to take his fans, to take his empire, he believed that it all rightfully belonged to him and Julian is just an imposter. He needed this all more than anything and to get it all, he is winning to do anything. _____________________ Back on the battlefield, in sighed at his loss, he sent Metagross back to its Pokeball and bid his farewell, Julian also waved at his fans before making his way back to the waiting room. _____________________ in walked into the waiting room and saw Julio moving his head back and forth while mumbling something and gripping his head tightly, he frowned as he stared at Julio. in always thought that this person was weird and he was also very anti-social, he did try to talk to him before but he waspletely ignored, he didn''t understand what is up with this guy so he also ignored Julio. Seeing how he is behaving right now, in decided to not get involved at all and decided to leave, he didn''t like how he felt around Julio, the guy gave him the creeps. Making his way out of the waiting room he sighed as this was the end of his journey in the Kalos league. in "Well, this didn''t work out but now I have more time to finish my work for Dr. Lysander" in said and walked away. ______________________ Julian returned to the other waiting room and saw that Ash was getting ready, he is about to battle Julian, there is nothing much Julian could teach Ash right now, it all depended on Ash and how he will handle things. Julian "Ash, just make sure to not overthink anything and trust your guts" Julian advised and decided to leave as well after collecting his stuff. Ash "Thank you, I will make sure to give it my all" Julian "Good luck then" Ash "Thank you, meet you in the finals, again!" Ash dered with a smile on his face and Julian smiled back, he didn''t know if Ash is going to win but if he did Julian will be happy for Ash. Chapter 1185 - Semi-Finals (6) After half an hour of waiting, the second battle of the semi-finals was finally about to begin, the battlefield was reced with a new one, the audience is getting restless as they want to see the next battle. Julian made his way towards the VIP section so he can view the battle between Ash and Julio. After another few minutes, the announcer finally started his announcement and introduced Ash, after his introduction Ash entered the battlefield and people started to chair for him, with Ash''s reputation and skill he has built quite a massive fan base and it could be seen here, people knew him and they wanted him to win. Ash took his position on the battlefield and waited for his opponent to enter the battlefield. The announcer then started to introduce Julio, Julio being the dark horse of this tournament has caught the attention of many people and they wonder if he is the one who is going to dethrone Julian for the title of the strongest trainer. After Julio''s introduction, it was followed by silence as there was no sign of Julio for a few seconds but just after a minute, Julio finally stepped into the battlefield. Like always his pace is slow, his every step looks heavy, he is wearing a dark coat with his head covered by a hoodie, people couldn''t see his face properly except getting a rough nce at his facial feature. Julio took his stop on the battlefield and stared coldly at Ash, no one noticed this but Julio''s eyes were filled with madness as he was murmuring some words. The referee soon walked in and began the battle by first exining the rules. Once he was done exining he asked both of them to choose their pokemons, Ash went first and sent out his Talonme. Julio also sent out his pokemon, his Tyranitar, the sideparison between these two pokemons is of night and day. Talonme is small by fast while Tyranitar is massive, its head is as big as Talonme''s whole body. Now, this is an interesting match, people started to wonder if the Talonme has what it takes to take down the mighty Tyranitar. The referee seeing that both trainers are ready began the battle. The battle began and Ash''s Talonme got active, its speed helped it dodge a lot of Tyranitar''s attacks and it was able tond a lot of hits on the giant monster as well, though the attacks only chipped through Tyranitar''s defense it was slowing showing its effect. The giant was getting tired and Julio was getting frustrated. He called for a Stone Edge to end it all but Ash''s Talon me was able to dodge it and then use Brave Bird, the Brave Bird hit Tyranitar right on its jaw and sent the giant crashing on the ground, it was not out of it yet but since the giant has fallen, it is vulnerable. Ash decided to deal the final blow, Talonme rose high up in the sky and dove down using Steel Wings, itnded hard on Tyranitar''s chest knocking the wind out of its lung and putting the giant to sleep. Referee "Tyranitar is unable to battle, Talonme wins" This result came as a surprise to everyone as everyone thought that Tyranitar is going to win because it had disyed immense feat of strength during its run in this tournament. Julian smiled seeing the first-round end like this, Ash has done his homework, he seems to have figured out Tyranitar''s weakness and used his Talonme''s speed to defeat Tyranitar. Julio, on the other hand, seemed more frustrated, he gritted his teeth even harder which caused his own gums to bleed, his eyes were turning red but no one noticed it. He sent his Tyranitar back and sent his next pokemon into the battlefield, a Garchomp. Ash continued with Talonme and as soon as the battle started Julio''s Garchomp bolted at Talonme with Dual Chop, neither Ash nor Talonme saw iting and Talonme was sent shooting into the ground where it crashed hard. Referee "Talonme is unable to battle, Garchomp wins" The referee dered, Ash didn''t show any emotions on his face but to Julian, it was very clear that he was frustrated as he saw Ash clinching his fist very tightly. Ash then switched his pokemon as well and sent out his Greninja into the battlefield, as soon as Greninja entered Julian got curious, this Greninja''s talent might even rival his Aegish''s so Julian was very curious to see how far this Greninja hase. As soon as Greninja entered the battlefield, the battle began, both pokemons relied on simr strategies, both of them are fast pokemon who have extremely powerful physical attacks. The moves of these two pokemons shed all over the battlefield, each and every collision was a mini-explosions followed by a powerful shockwave and every exchange between them was within seconds, there was no gap for resting at all. Seeing that battle was at a stalemate Julio got frustrated and suddenly pulled out a keystone and mega evolved his Garchomp. Seeing that his opponent has decided to mega evolved, Ash closed his eyes and took a deep breath, sensing what Ash is doing his Greninja also closed its eyes and took a deep breath. Julian''s interest piqued as he noticed the sudden change in the battlefield, the energy in the air suddenly doubled and it was swirling around Ash and Greninja, Julian could see this energy because it contained omniforce in it. This shocked Julian. Chapter 1186 - Semi-Finals (7) The swirling of Omniforce around Ash and Greninja shocked Julian for seconds before he finally calmed down, he realized that Ash was really not using Omniforce nor was Greninja. The Omniforce just seems to be aiding the process between Ash and Greninja, Ash and Greninja are going through a special transformation where they are bing one with both body and soul. The soul is a unique force, it is mysterious as ites from the essence of the universe itself and anything thates from the universe is infused with Omniforce, everything in the universe is supported by the Omniforce. And now that two souls are trying to be one, the Omniforce went on overdrive trying to aplish the task. Ash''s and Greninja''s breathing and heartbeat came in sync and suddenly Greninja started to change, its height increased a little, its aura changed, and a massive water shuriken formed on its back. As the light faded away Greninja was revealed in front of everyone, everyone present were shocked to see the changes in Greninja, they had never seen anything like this before, it was clear to everyone that this is not a mega evolution as no mega stone of keystone was involved in it. People got excited and cheered for Ash as they wanted to see what this Greninja can do. Julian looked at Ash-Greninja and was pleased to see it, he realized that the connection between Ash and Greninja has increased a lot which also meant a massive boost for Greninja Julio was also shocked by seeing this, he can''t help but curse his bad luck, he thought that he will easily be able to get rid of this annoying kid and then go on to defeat Julian but he couldn''t be more wrong. He got frustrated and ordered his mega Garchomp to attack, Garchomp charged at Ash-Greninja at full speed with intent to take it down but at the veryst moment, Ash-Greninja just sidestepped and grabbed hold of its massive water shuriken and sliced it at Garchomp''s neck, with the incredible boost in speed and power it easily surpassed mega Garchomp in both aspects. Garchomp got hit and was sent rolling through the air. Ash "Water Shuriken again" Ash ordered, Greninja ran towards the rolling Garchomp and suddenly jumped very high up in the air, it then started to spin and suddenly released its massive Water Shuriken at Garchomp, the shuriken spun very fast and made an arc as it tore through the air towards Garchomp. As soon as Garchomp came to a stop, the Water Shuriken made contact and exploded sending the Garchomp flying through the air and then crashing hard on the ground. Garchomp was down and it suddenly lost its mega evolution, the referee rushed to check on it and found that it was out cold. Referee "Garchomp is unable to battle, Greninja wins" The referee dered the result causing an uproar amongst the crowd, they got excited and started to cheer for Ash and Greninja. Julio "How? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how? how?" Julio clutched his head as he started to mumble again, he looked at Ash with a fierce gaze and then at his fallen Garchomp. Julio "Useless thing, if I don''t win this, I won''t get what I want, looks like I have to bring that out, they warned me not to use it but I have no other options" He murmured and sent Garchomp back to its Pokeball and took a very weird looking Pokeball, this Pokeball is ck in color and it had a dark aura around it, as soon as Julian saw this Pokeball he felt that something was weird, it did feel right, something was definitely off. Julian watched as Julio tossed the ck Pokeball up in the air, the Pokeball opened, and a dark aura escaped out of it and took a shape, this dark figure was massive standing almost 4 meters tall and as the darkness faded away the pokemon underneath it was revealed. Everyone present could see a massive Snox standing on the battlefield but this Snox was different. first, it is huge, twice as tall as a normal Snox, second its eyes are glowing red, there are no pupils, just glowing red eyes. Everyone just stared at this Snox as they felt something was weird about it, Julian frowned as he tried to figure out what is going on with his Snox, the skin color of this Snox is dark and there is a ck miasma surrounding it. Everyone held their breath in presence of this pokemon, none of them felt good about the current situation and they all could tell something was off, the people who were cheering for Julio stopped cheering him and just stared at the Snox. Julio "Use Heavy m" Julio ordered. The shadow-like Snox suddenly jumped high up in the air even though it shouldn''t with its size, its whole body then came crashing down towards Ash-Greninja. Ash "Quick dodge and then use Water Shuriken" Greninja moved away from its position and dodged the Heavy m but what came next caught both Ash and Greninja by surprise. As soon as Shadow Snoxnded hard on the ground, it sent a ripple through the whole battlefield, it ripped off the battlefield from its pirs underneath and caused the battlefield to act like cloth. This took Greninja by surprise and it lost bnce. Julio "Use Thunder Punch" The shadow Snox suddenly stood up at incredible speed and suddenly appeared in front of Greninja catching it off guard and sending a Thunder Punch right to its abdomen, the lightning around Snox''s fist was striking out violently and were ck in color, even the color of the moves used by this Snox seems to have turned dark. Greninja was sent shooting through the air and out of the battlefield towards Ash, Ash suddenly clutched his abdomen as well as he felt a stinging pain on his stomach, the pain that Greninja felt Ash felt as well. Seeing Greninja''s state, Ashpletely ignored his own pain and tried to catch it, he caught Greninja just to be sent rolling along with it. Both of them soon came to a stop as Ash-Greninja lost its form and turned back to normal and it seems to be out cold. Chapter 1187 - Semi-Finals (8) Ash was holding onto Greninja very tightly and when he finally came to a stop, he looked at Greninja and found it unconscious. The referee also checked on Greninja and dered the result. Referee "Greninja is unable to battle, Snox wins" Even after the referee dered the winner people didn''t cheer for Julio because they all could feel something was not right with this Snox, they just watched warily and pitied Ash and his Greninja. Ash was a little emotional but he calmed down and send Greninja back to its Pokeball and looked at Pikachu who is standing right next to him with a worried look on his face. Ash and Pikachu''s eyes met and they knew what they had to do. Ash "I will be relying on you buddy" Ash said and got back to his feet. Pikachu "PIKACHU!" Pikachu dered in confidence and entered the battlefield, Ash took his spot on the battlefield again and looked at his opponent with a burning passion, Ash was not going to give up just because the opponent has introduced a dangerous pokemon. Ash "Let''s do this, Pikachu, use Quick Attack" Ash ordered. Pikachu rushed towards Shadow Snox at full speed while leaving a white trail behind him, Pikachu was so fast that the Snox had no chance to escape it, Pikachu crashed hard against the Snox''s stomach and was able to push the giant two steps back but Pikachu was bounced away. Pikachu did a backflip andnded on his feet and stared at the Snox, Ash and Pikachu were both surprised to see that the Quick Attack had no effect on the giant. The only reason the Snox stepped back was because of how much energy Pikachu had behind his attack. Julio "Use Fire Punch" The Shadow Snox suddenly rushed towards Pikachu and raised its arm to punch at him, its arm covered in ck energy created a ck color me, as its arm was about to descend on Pikachu, Pikachu moved away and dodged the attack very easily giving him an opening for an attack. Ash "Use Iron Tail" Pikachu did a quick turn andnded a full power Iron Tail right on Snox''s knee, the power behind the attack was a lot, and even with its boosted stat due to its current state the Snox lost its senses in its leg and took a kneel. Ash "Use Iron Tail again" Now that Snox was down, Pikachu used Snox''s knee to assist himself to jump up and then did a flip andnded a lethal hit with Iron Tail right on top of Snox''s head. The power behind this attack was immense and even with its bulky nature, the Snox went down. Its huge body crashed hard on the ground shocking everyone, this was the same Snox that took out Ash''s Greninja in a second, and now it''s on the ground right after two moves but it was not over. After a second, the Snox moved and got back to its feet as if nothing happened. Julian who was focused on this Snox frowned as he noticed something, the attacks from Pikachu were devastating, Pikachu is already a champion level pokemon and the damage that it dealt should be enough to take down other champion level pokemons but seeing how easily this Snox shrug them off, he realized that there is more to this Snox. Julio "Use Fire Punch" As soon as Snox got back to its feet it used Fire Punch again, Pikachu being fast was able to dodge the punch again but the impact of the punch hitting the ground sent a tremor through the whole body causing Pikachu to lose bnce. Ash saw this and quickly decided to retreat, he saw what happened to Greninja when it lost bnce, Snox took advantage of it and knocked it out. Ash "Quick, move away and keep some distance from Snox" Ashmanded, Pikachu used his tail to gain bnce and quickly moved far away from Snox. Ahs "Use Thunderbolt" As soon as Pikachu made some distance he stopped and charged up a powerful Thunderbolt and shot it at Snox, the Snox had no way of dodging this and took the attack head-on, the Thunderbolt made contact and zapped the hell out of Snox but for some reason, it just stood there and took it. When the Thunderbolt stopped Snox was still standing but suddenly went on its knee from the damage, smock could be seen rising up from its body but then it got back to its feel again without showing any emotions. Julian who is watching the Snox was once again surprised, the Thunderbolt clearly dealt a lot of damage but the Snox still got back to its feet. Julio who watched this was getting frustrated, he thought that bringing out his hidden card would allow him to dominate this battle but he once again underestimated the runt standing across him on the battlefield. And his pokemon is very fast for his Snox tond any hit. Julio "Since you like to run so much, let''s see how you dodge this, use methrower" Julio ordered and Snox followed by a powerful methrower which Pikachu dodged easily but Snox continued with the assault chasing Pikachu all over the battlefield and when it looked like Pikachu was about to get cornered, he jumped up in the air to leap over the methrower but this is what Julio was waiting for. Julio "Now, Earthquake" As soon as Julio ordered this, Snox stopped its methrower and then suddenly raised its leg up and mmed it hard on the ground. Chapter 1188 - Semi-Finals (9) Since Pikachu is up in the air due to his jump he has nowhere to go, he cannot change directions, the only direction he is going is to the ground and what is waiting for him is a devastating move. Snox''s feet hit the ground and the whole battlefield shook, suddenly destructive energy traveled all across the battlefield shaking it aggressively, the battlefield started to split all over the ce and dark yellowish energy shot out of it. While the ground split and shook Pikachu''s legs hit the ground and he was assaulted by the energy from the ground, his whole body was sent into chaos and he lost his bnce and fell on the ground, and because of the onught of the energying from the ground it rolled and moved Pikachu all over the battlefield severely damaging him. When the Earthquake stopped Pikachu could be seen lying t on the ground while gritting his teeth, it was clear that he is very hurt from that attack, and being an electric type pokemon the ground type move Earthquake. Everybody present in the stadium thought that this was over but they were all wrong, Pikachu who didn''t seem to have any movement suddenly moved and got back to his feet and shook his head a few times to stabilize himself. Pikachu shook off the damage and looked more determined than ever, Ash also took a sigh of relief as he saw Pikachu still has a lot to give. Ash "Use Quick Attack followed by Iron Tail" Pikachu with a sudden burst of speed rushed towards Snox as white light surrounded him making him look like aet on the ground. Julio "Use Hammer Arm" Snox locked its sight on Pikachu and raised its right arm up in the air and charged up a powerful Hammer Arm, it is waiting for the right moment to strike, and when it felt that Pikachu was near enough it brought its massive hand down towards the ground. As it looked at the Hammer Arm was about to make contact with the iing Pikachu, Pikachu swiftly sidestepped avoiding the Hammer Arm which hit the ground, Pikachu then rush right between Snox''s legs and appeared behind it and then jumped upward to hit Snox''s blind side which is its back. Pikachu rammed his head as hard as he could onto Snox''s back and sent the giant a few steps forward as the giant struggled to keep its bnce but the assault was not over, as soon as Pikachunded on the ground again, he used Iron Tail and swung it behind Snox''s knee which finally sends the giant crashing on the ground. People cheered loudly as they saw Snox go down, by now every person in the audience is cheering for Ash and Pikachu. Ash "Let''s finish this, Use Volt Tackle" Now that Snox is down, Ash wants to end this and go on to the finals and battle Julian, Pikachu mmed his front two legs on the ground sending ripples throughout the whole battlefield. A supercharged Pikachu covered in lightning took his first step crushing the ground between his tiny feet and bolted towards the fallen Snox. Aiming straight at its head Pikachu went all out, Pikachu crashed as hard as he could on the crown of Snox which caused a powerful explosion followed by a thunderous sound alongside a powerful shockwave that swept across the whole battlefield sending rubbles flying everywhere. Even the smoke created by the explosion was wiped off by the impact revealing the oue of the sh. Pikachu hit Snox so hard that the massive body was actually sent dragging across the battlefield which left a long and deep groove right in the middle caused by the impact. Everyone thought that it was over, the referee approached the Snox to check on it but before he could even call the oue the Snox suddenly moved and got back to its feet again as if nothing happened at all. Everyone present sucked their breath in as they saw this, Ash couldn''t believe this and neither could Pikachu. Julian who had his eyes on Snox the whole battle finally understood what was happening, the attacks from Pikachu are having their effects, the Snox''s whole body should be aching and should be numb, it should not be able to get up at all but it did. Julian realized that no matter how much hurt Snox is in it won''t matter to it because that Snox doesn''t have its own consciousness, it has no control over itself, the only thing fueling it is the will to battle and rage. Each and every attack that itshes out has the intent to hurt its opponent, any damage it takes ispletely ignored and it continues to battle, this is of course not good for the pokemon, pain is an important function to every living as it indicates any problem that is present in the body, without pain one cannot identify the problem and deal with it. Because of this the risk of this Snox dying earlier than it should is very likely, Julian frowned as this was very hical and inhumane, this was a disgusting act and Julian wanted to find out who did this to the poor Snox. __________________ Julio "Use Earthquake" Using this moment of shock that everyone was experiencing Julio called for an Earthquake. This caught Pikachu was surprised as he was hit by another Earthquake as soon as Snox''s feet mmed into the ground, this sent Pikachu rolling and bouncing all over the battlefield while he got assaulted by the energy radiating from the ground. Julio "Heavy m" As soon as the Earthquake came to a stop, Snox jumped high up in the air and came crashing towards Pikachu who is still recovering from the Earthquake. Ash "PIKACHU!!!" Ash tried to warn him but it was toote, Snox buried Pikachu with its massive body. When Snox got back to its feet everyone could see the deep crater and right in the middle of this crater is Pikachu buried deeppletely out cold. Referee "Pikachu is unable to battle, Snox wins, the trainer advancing to the finals is trainer Julio. Chapter 1189 - Keep Eyes On Orre No one spoke, none of them made a sound as all of them were disappointed by the oue, none of them wanted to cheer for Julio. Julio, on the other hand, was ecstatic. He got rid of the annoying rodent and finally advanced to the finals where he will finally get his chance to defeat Julian and im everything that is his. Ash just stood there and stared at Pikachu, he had given it all but he still couldn''t do it, he felt frustrated and angry but he knew his time wille, he will one day be the champion, and one day he will reach his goal. He walked towards his Pikachu and picked him up in his arms and walked out of the battlefield while people cheered for him. As for Julio, he had a very ugly expression on his face, he looked at these people with disgust, he was the one who won the battle so why was his opponent being cheered out, he sent his Snox back to its Pokeball and walked stomping out of the battlefield. Julian was everything and his eyes were as cold as they could get, now there is a bigger problem Julian has encountered, the Snox and who did such an awful thing to it. Julian will have to find out and save these poor pokemon, if there is one victim there will be others. Julian "I will deal with him on the battlefield" Julian said and got off his seat and decided to go home. __________________ Somewhere else in the world in a massive dark room, the footage of the battle was being yed on the big screen and few figures in the dark were watching it. "That idiot, he used it" One of them said. "Well, it doesn''t matter, it would have eventuallye out, the league might try to look into it but they will find nothing". Another one said. "And it looks like it is working properly, soon we will have an army of it to take over, the world will then be under our control" A deep voice sounded across the whole room through the speakers. "Indeed, the experiment seems to be a sess, with a few more of them, and the work''s chances of fighting back against us will be the bare minimum" A woman said. "How have the Cipher responded to this?" One of them asked. "It doesn''t matter what they think, we fund them, whatever they do will belong to us". Another one said. "But to make sure, keep an eye on the Orre region, we have to keep Cipher under control, the old man running it is too dangerous and cunning" The voice from the speaker sounded. Everyone agreed with him and they continued to discuss their future n. "So do you think the test subject will be able to defeat him?" One of them got curious and asked. "We don''t know but I think the test subject should be able to pull it off, the shadow pokemons do not feel pain and they can continue to function even with severe damage to the body, there is no way he will lose" Another one answered. "We will see what happens, Julian is still the X-factor in all this, he might be the biggest hurdle to get over, we will need everything to take him down". "What about his ind, where we able to infiltrate it?" One of them asked, they had learned about the ind that Julian owns and how he keeps his pokemons there, they thought they will be able to infiltrate the ind and capture some of his pokemons for experiments. "No, we got nothing from the teams that were sent to investigate the ind, there is more to the ind than it seems, for now, the objective has been put on a hold" One of them answered. "How did we fail, we send five batches of our best there, nobody ever contacted back?" One of them asked. "No, the only thing we received was a scream from one of the members which were then cut of, we know nothing that happened there". One of them answered. "Well let''s not discuss things that have not progressed, let''s focus on things that are going well and n for the future" All of them agreed and continued with their talks __________________ Back in Kalos, Julian returned to his home and was greeted by his beautiful fianc¨¦e Daisy, she cooked him delicious food and massaged his head and shoulders tofort him. Julian was thinking about what happened today and how he should approach things, suddenly his phone rang, the call is from Cynthia. He picked up the phone and answered the call. Cynthia "Darling, the league is asking about Julio, they are saying that they cannot sit idly and watch what happened today". Cynthia''s voice came from the other side and she also seem to be very frustrated. Julian "Don''t worry, I will take care of this Julio, tell the league to focus on how that Snox was created and who is behind them, if Julio has some knowledge about it, I will extract it from him" Julian answered. Cynthia "Fine, and please be careful, love you" Julian "Don''t worry, I will be fine and love you too" Julian ended the call and sighed, he thought he will just have to deal with Lysander and his goons but it looks like there is something more going on in the world that needs his attention. Chapter 1190 - Preparation For The Big Day Julian was done thinking about what he should do next, he knows what he will do. First, he will destroy Julio and then find him outside to extract some information from him, once he was done with Julio, he will deal with Lysander and send him to the prison along with team re members. After that, he will try to look into the reason behind the change in that Snox, once he finds them he will eradicate everyone rted to the project so they will never even dare to do it again. _________________ It is the day of the finals, the city of Lumiose is busted with people, every street and corner is filled with people, there are small stalls selling food and merchandise everywhere. Even the outskirts of the city are packed with people. People from all over the world are here today to watch the big event, the finals between Julian and Julio, this is the battle that everyone is talking about because for the first time people don''t know if Julian is really going to win or not. His opponent has a pokemon that doesn''t seem to take any damage at all, will Julian even be able to hurt that Snox? To win Julian has to defeat all of Julio''s pokemon and if his Snox isn''t taken down no matter how good Julian really is, there is no way he will win this battle, on the contrary, Julio will just have to drag the battle with his Snox till all of Julian''s pokemon are exhausted and faint. People wanted to see if Julian can continue his reign as the undefeated trainer, his reign till now has been legendary and there is only one trainer who has a longer win and undefeated record than Julian and that is the champion of Gr, Leon. People believed that Julian will be the one to break the Gr champion''s record but now Julian is going against an opponent who has a pokemon that doesn''t seem to go down no matter what. It looked like this is thest battle for Julian till he loses his record and people wanted to witness it, but there are still people who believed in Julian and they are his fans, no matter what the odds they will always support Julian. There had already been a war on the inte on who is going to win this time, and no matter how much others try to prove that Julian is going to lose, his fans stuck with his win, and of course, since this is the inte they forgot about what they were arguing and started to go after each other. Even the betting sights showed different results, whenever there was a battle with Julian in it, the odds were always in his favor but this time it was different, people actually believed that Julio is going to win but the majority still had Julian as the winner. The bets ranged from 60 to 70 percent in Julian''s favor, if this was any other trainer it would seem like a normal betting ratio but this is Julian that we are talking about, his betting ratio was always over 90 percent. _________________ While the city was getting busier as they waited for the finals to start, on top of prism tower Lysander stood with a fat man beside him, this man is none other than Admin Xerosic. Lysander "Today is the day" He said. Xerosic "Yes sir, today the whole world will know your name as you save them from their imperfection and turn this world to what you desired it to look like" He said with a big smile on his face. Lysander "Indeed, let''s get started, as soon as the final battle ends, we shall make our move, inform the other admins and tell Caroline to get ready, I am going to take over Kalos" Lysander said. Xerosic "Yes sir, will do that" He said and left Lysander''s side and took an elevator down the tower, he soon arrived at his desired floor and walked out of the elevator to be greeted by a beautiful sight, a voluptuous woman with big breasts, th legs, th ass, beautiful face, and long blond hair. There was not a day Xerosic didn''t fantasize about this woman and how he wanted to bend her over and fuck her all day long, this is none other than Caroline or Ang which he doesn''t know belongs to Julian. Ang looked at this fat man with disgust, she didn''t like how he looked at her, her body only belongs to her master, and this fat man checking her out is insulting to her and her master. Ang "Eyes up here" She said coldly as she noticed Xerosic staring at her breasts, Xerosic giggled and looked at her eyes. Xerosic "You need to get ready, we will begin as soon as the boss gives his orders" He said. Ang "I know" She turned away and started to work on the massive machine that is in front of her, this machine is something that team re has been building for months, this machine is used for controlling the Zygarde they have under their control. Ang could, of course, destroy the machine but that was not an option, the Zygarde they have is very aggressive and uncontroble, without this machine it will cause more damage than necessary. She had told Julian that she might be able to disable the machine but he told her not to do so, this machine will keep the Zygarde under control and prevent it from going on a rampage which can cost innocent lives. When the timees Julian will step in and help the Zygarde, till then the machine should be left intact. Xerosic "Be careful Caroline, you might ruin it" Xerosic got closer to Ang and tried to feel her ass. Ang "Take a step closer and I will rip your tiny dick and will shove it down your throat" She dered coldly while giving him a disgusted look. Xerosic backed off as he didn''t want to mess with her right now, he knows he will get his chance in the future, once Kalos is under Lysander''s control, he will have no use for Caroline and that is when he can have his way with her and she won''t be able to do anything. Chapter 1191 - Finals (1) Ang messaged Julian that Lysander is going to make a move today, this of course ticked Julian, today was the day of the finals and Lysander had to make this day more chaotic through his ns. And there are also a lot of people in the city, his actions will definitely harm the innocent people in the city. Julian "When is he nning to make a move?" Julian asked. Ang "Right after the final ends, master" She replied back. Julian "Good, keep him busy till then" Julian said and ended his conversation with Ang, right now he is sitting in the waiting room of the grand stadium waiting for the battle to start. Today is the day where it will all end in a bang. He could feel the ground shaking as people outside couldn''t hold their excitement, their voices were loud as very, his name was being called over and over again by the people. Even though many believed that Julian will lose today, they still supported him, even the people who didn''t support Julian today supported him because nobody wanted Julio to win, they had seen Snox and even a little baby could tell that something was wrong with that Snox and anyone who does that to a pokemon doesn''t deserve any praise from the people. Julian took a deep breath and calmed his mind, his eyes turned cold as he nned the battle in his mind, he is not going to y any mind games out there, he is not going to strategize either, he is just going to run through each and every pokemon that Julio throws at him. It will be a one-sided beat down. Julio who wanted to be Julian, who wanted to take everything that Julian has will be devastated when he learns that he is nothing but a weakling who Julian can take care of without breaking a sweat. Today Julian will debut Porygon into the league, he is going to sweep through all of Julio''s pokemon with just two of his. He is not going to put a show of skill, he is just going to disy raw power in this battle because no matter what the strategy is, against pure raw power it is all useless. After half an hour of waiting the announcer finally began introducing the trainers who are going to participate in this final battle. The crowd got louder and louder as they cheered for Julian. The announcer first introduced Julio but he didn''t put any effort into his introduction, when Julio walked out he was drowned with boos from everyone. Julio frowned as he heard all these people booing him. Julio ''Boo be all you want, but when I win, you will all be cheering for me, you all are just fickle minded people who will soon be running after me for my validation'' Julio thought to himself and took his position on the battlefield and stared at the other side from where Julian should enter. Julian walked out of the waiting room and headed towards the battlefield as he heard the announcer introducing him. The announcer put all his heart into this introduction which got a massive reaction from the crowd, and when Julian walked into the battlefield the crowd got more excited. There seem to be no stopping these people from cheering Julian, they only grew louder by the second. Julian smiled and waved at his fans as he walked towards his spot on the battlefield and took his stance and looked at his opponent at the other end. Julio red angrily at Julian which then turned into a smirk. Julio ''This will be thest time they will ever cheer for you, take it all in because you are not going to get it ever again'' Julio thought as he stared at Julian and then suddenly their eyes met, Julio looked at Julian''s crimson eyes and suddenly felt trapped. His heart started to beat faster and he started to sweat, he felt fear, it was as if he was being stared down by a predator. Julio realized that he was scared of Julian and he doesn''t know why. He shook his head to collect himself and looked at Julian again but this time he didn''t dare to meet Julian''s eyes again. Julian "You made quite a scene, infiltrating my fianc¨¦e''s workce, snooping around and stalking them, trying to be me, you don''t realize what disaster you have brought upon yourself" Julian said. Julio cleared heard what Julian said and just smirked. Julio "Hahahaha, you can''t do anything to me, today will be the day I will take you down and everything that is yours will be mine" Julio dered. Julian "Idiot" Julian expressed, he was done talking to this idiot, he will now proceed to just destroy him on the battlefield and when they are all alone, Julian has some extra special present waiting for Julio. Julio heard Julian calling him an idiot which angered him but before he couldsh out, the referee stepped in and started to exin the rules of the battle. Referee "This battle will be a full six vs six pokemon battle to determine the winner of the Kalos Conference league, this battle will end when one trainer has no pokemon left in his team, both trainers will be able to switch pokemons during battle." The referee continued with the rules and once he was done he asked both of them to choose their pokemon. Chapter 1192 - Finals (2) Julian has no intention to y around with Julio, from start to finish he is going to decimate his opponent, he took out a Pokeball and sent out his first pokemon into the battlefield. As soon as his Pokeball opened, Aegish came out of and spun around creating a dense humming sound, the air around him twisted and turned to create a violent tornado that stopped as soon as Aegish did. Julio said Julian''s choice and sent out his Tyranitar into the battlefield, the massive pokemon''s entrance shook the battlefield causing a tremor to run through the whole battlefield, Tyranitar then followed it up with a very intimidating roar that shook everyone to their core. This was clearly an attempt from Julio and Tyranitar to intimidate Julian''s Aegish but it had no effect, Aegish just stood there and stared at Tyranitar indifferently, to Aegish the size and roar of a pokemon didn''t matter at all, every opponent was the same to him, they would all fall and not get up after one of his strikes. The referee once confirming that both trainers are ready gave the signal to start the battle. As soon as the signal was given, Julio made the fist move. Julio "Use Dark Pulse" Julio ordered, as soon as the order was given his Tyranitar took a deep breath and started to charge up the most powerful Dark Pulse it could dish out, the air around its mouth distorted as the energy level in the surrounding increased, Tyranitar''s throat started to turn dark and glow as it charged up its attack. And once it was fully charged it sted out the Dark Pulse at Aegish. Julian "Shield Forme, then use King Shield" Julian called out, Aegish brought his round shield in front of him and changed form suddenly causing a massive change to appear in his stats, all his attacking strength was transferred into his defense. He then used King Shield to create a unique-looking shield in front of him, the shield looked imprable and it was, nothing could get past it. The Dark Pulse tore through the air causing a gap to be left behind, the Dark Pulse traveled across the battlefield in an instant and hit Aegish, as soon as the Dark Pulse made contact with Aegish''s shield, it was split into multiple lines and sent different direction, some of them went up, some of them hit the ground, some of them went straight towards the audience but before they could cause any damage, the protective shield of the stadium red up protecting the people sitting in the stadium. The powerful Dark Pulse was dealt with as if it was nothing. Julian "Use Sword Dance" After Aegish was done dealing with the Dark Pulse, he used Sword Dance, four swords made of energy formed around Aegish and danced around him before they fused into Aegish increasing his attack stats again, it is already very high in his sword form but with this increase, it will be immeasurable. Aegish will be an unstoppable force, Julio saw what Julian is doing and got nervous. He couldn''t let Julian continue to increase his Aegish''s stat. Julio "Tyranitar, use Hammer Arm" Maintaining distance was not the right option right now so Julio decided to get close and pressure Julian''s Aegish. Julian "Sword Form, use Shadow Ball" Aegish instantly switched his form and created multiple Shadow Balls around him which started to spin at incredible speed and started to revolve around him creating a dark halo around him, if one didn''t know that these were separate balls they would think that Aegish had a solid halo around him. Tyranitar was too slow, it took its sweet time while it charged towards Aegish which gave him a lot of room and time to execute his move, Aegish then started to shoot the Shadow Balls one after the other in an instant. Tyranitar got bombarded with the Shadow Balls, each Shadow Ball had great destructive power, it sent the giant crashing on the ground but it didn''t stop there, the Shadow Ball bombardment continued and Tyranitar kept on rolling and rolling till it was out of the battlefield and crashed hard against the wall. The Bombardment stopped revealing the Tyranitarpletely out cold, the referee didn''t even have to approach the Tyranitar to tell that it was out cold. Referee "Tyranitar is unable to battle, Aegish wins" The crowd suddenly burst into cheer as they saw the power disy from Aegish and how easily he destroyed his opponent. Julio was in shock, he couldn''t believe it, he couldn''t take it. Julio "H-How? HOW, HOW COULD YOU ACHIEVE THAT, YOU SHOULD BE WEAKER THAN ME, I AM THE PERFECT ONE" Julio suddenly began to shout in anger. Julian "Prefect one? You seem to be in some kind of delusion, you are just trying to be a cheap imitation of me and that too a very bad one, everything you have done till now is just cheap acting of my previous aplishments, nothing else, you will never be better than me, you will never be me" Julian answered. Julio "No, no, no, no, nononononon, I am the real one, I am the real one, you will pay for this, you will" Julio got frustrated and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield, the pokemon he chose was Infernape. Julio "Use Fire Punch" He ordered. Julian "Use Sacred Sword" His Infernape was fast but Aegish saw the attacking from a mile away, he is going to end this again with another single sh. Chapter 1193 - Finals (3) As soon as Infernape was right in front of Aegish ready to deliver a powerful Fire Punch that could knock out almost every pokemon, Aegish made a simple movement and moved to the side dodging the Fire Punch, he then swung his whole body at Infernape with extreme speed. His de glowed with pulsing aura, as soon as Aegish shed, a thin bright light glowed across Infernape''s body, Infernape froze in the air after this. The light then suddenly exploded sending Infernape shooting through the air and out of the battlefield, once again it only took one hit and that was the end. As the smoke cleared up, everyone could see Infernape out coldying with its leg up against the wall of the stadium. Referee "Infernape is unable to battle, Aegish wins" The referee dered which caused another massive outburst from the crowd as they continued to cheer for Julian. Julio "No, no, no, this can be happening, I am not going to lose, I am going to destroy him". Julio mumbled to himself and decided to bring out these ace cards, he took out a ck Pokeball from his pouch, as soon as this Pokeball came out everyone sucked their breath in as they knew what was about toe and they wondered if Julian has what it takes to take down this beast. Julian also wanted to see this thing in person and quickly put it out of its misery, he knows he cannot knock this one out there there are many ways to incapacitate a pokemon. The ck Pokeball opened and out came shadow Snox, the Snox didn''t do anything and just stood there with its glowing red eyes and ck aura surrounding it. The Snox just stood there waiting for Julio''s order. Julio "Use Crunch" With Julio''smand, the giant started to move and make its way towards Julian''s Aegish. Julian "Use Sword Dance" Julian called for another Sword Dance which increased Aegish''s attack stat again, and once Snox was close enough tond its attack Julian called for another move. Julian "Use Sacred Sword on its knee" Snox opened its mouth wide open creating a massive jaw made of dark energy and bringing it shutting down on Aegish, Aegish was not bothered by it at all, he just floated back and avoided the jaw, the jaw mped shut and exploded, the explosion impaired Snox''s vision. Aegish swooped towards Snox''s knee and shed with blinding speed, a thin white line appeared on its knee after the sh which suddenly exploded which brought the giant to its knee. Snox took a knee but it didn''t show any emotions on its face, it looked like Snox took no damage. Julio smirked as he saw this, he knows that his Snox could take anything and still get up. On the other hand, Julian''s Aegish would just get tired and then faint on its own ord. Julio "Get up and show them what you can do" Julio ordered with a smirk on his face but his smirk soon turned into a frown as he saw his Snox not able to get up, it was struggling but it couldn''t get up. Julio "GET UP" Julio shouted but it was of no use, his Snox couldn''t get up. Julio "What have you done?" He looked at Julian and asked. Julian "Well my Aegish hit your Snox so hard that he temporarily disabled your Snox" Julian said with a smirk, Julian didn''t want to cripple the Snox but this was the only way to bring down this pokemon, he will have to temporarily disable the Snox by hurting it very badly. Julio was shocked as he heard Julian. Julian "If I can''t make my Aegish knock it out, I will make sure that your Snox never gets up" Julian said and made his move again. Julian "Use Sacred Sword to the other knee" Julio "FIRE PUNCH" Julio shouted a counter-attack as he didn''t want his Snox to go down. Aegish made his way towards Snox but he took his time, Snox on its one knee charged up Fire Punch and was ready to deliver it as soon as Aegish got close. When Aegish got close Snox swung at Aegish but it made a big mistake, Aegish just moved to the side and because of this Snox lost its bnce and started to fall down, Aegish took this chance and went right for its knee. Once again a thin glowing line appeared on Snox''s knee which exploded andpletely incapacitated the giant, now that both of its legs are gone, there is no way it can get up. Snox tried to get up but it was of no use, it used its powerful arms to lift its body but that is all it could do. Julio "It doesn''t matter use Hyper Beam" Snox used its hand to move its whole body on the ground and turned towards Aegish and started to charge up for a Hyper Beam. Snox was still able to use Hyper Beam and sted it at Aegish but like always due to his t body shape, Aegish just had to move a little to dodge the move, the Hyper Beam headed towards the audience but the protective shield red up and protected the audience once again but they could still feel the power behind this Hyper Beam as it shook the whole stadium. Now that Snox has used Hyper Beam, it won''t be able to move for a moment, which is enough for Aegish topletely his job. So he made his way towards Snox. Chapter 1194 - Finals (4) As Aegish approached the unmoving Snox to incapacitate its arms, Snox suddenly moved to catch Aegish by surprise but Aegish has been trained for a situation like this, he suddenly changed form in an instant and blocked the iing Fire Punch at point-nk range. Julian didn''t expect Snox could move after a Hyper Beam but realizing that no amount of damage or pain could stop this thing, how could any negative effect take ce on the giant''s body. As soon as the Fire Punch was blocked Snox fell on the ground, the fire punch was able to deal some damage but it was very little. Since King Shield was not used Aegish took the hit directly but didn''t lose much health because of his incredible defense. Snox, on the other hand, copsed on the ground as it lost its bnce again, this was the final nail to the coffin. Aegish changed form against in an instant and used Sacred Sword on Snox''s elbows andpletely disabled both of them, now Snox justid there with no movement, though it was conscious it couldn''t move. People cheered as they saw Snox unable to move, the referee approached the Snox and noticed that it is still conscious but not able to move, this was a very rare situation but he knows what to do, he suddenly raised his arms up and started a 10 count. Referee "1, 2, 3, 4" The referee counted and the crowd followed after him, they counted alongside the referee. Julio started to panic, he didn''t respect his shadow pokemon will be taken down, he thought with Snox he would be invisible but he was wrong. He quickly took out his ck Pokeball and sent Snox back to its Pokeball before it was counted out, this of course caused a massive reaction from the crowd, they booed the shit out of Julio but he did nothing wrong. He could switch his pokemon anytime during the battle and he did before his Snox could be dered unable to battle. With two pokemons out and one of his acepletely incapacitated, Julio only has three pokemons that can enter the battlefield to make some changes, if this continues he will have nothing. Julio was frustrated but he is still delusional enough to believe that he can win, he sent out his fourth pokemon into the battlefield, his Garchomp. Garchomp entered the battlefield and growled at Aegish but like always Aegish has no response for his opponent, everyone was the same to him. Julio knew his Garchomp couldn''t take on Aegish just in its normal form so he didn''t waste any time to mega evolve it, blinding light filled the battlefield as Garchomp started to change. Julian thought about what he should do right now, he could continue with Aegish but he could also switch and send out Porygon as he has not battled even once in this league. After evolving into Porygon Z, it has changed a lot, it is no longer the emotionless pokemon that it once was, its eyes showed life in them, disyed emotions, and was experiencing life. Julian wanted Porygon to experience a tournament battle as well, so after some thinking, he decided to let Porygon take the stage. Before Garchomp couldplete its mega evolution, Julian sent Aegish back to his Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield. People wondered which pokemon Julian will be sending out and when they saw the pokemon, everyone was surprised as they have never seen anything like this. Porygon Z entered the battlefield and floated up in the air and red at the transforming Garchomp, once the transformation ended, mega Garchomp was revealed and it roared, its roar was as powerful as one could expect from a pokemon of its level. Garchomp stared at the weird pokemon in front of it in confusion but it didn''t matter, it had only one thing in its mind and that is to destroy its opponent, its sole purpose is to beat down its opponent, it has been trained to do so. Julio was also confused by looking at the pokemon that Julian released into the battlefield, he has every pokemon memorized in his mind, and what kinds of moves they can learn and how they use it but he has never seen this pokemon. He started to panic because of the unknown. Julio "Use Dragon Pulse" Juliomanded as he knows nothing about this pokemon, the only way to find out more about this pokemon is to force it to do something. Garchomp sted a powerful Dragon Pulse at Porygon but Porygon didn''t do anything, it just floated there and observed, when the Dragon Pulse was about to hit, it used Protect and created a forcefield in front of it to save itself from getting hit. Once the Dragon Pulse was blocked Porygon continued to observe and do nothing, Julio didn''t know what''s up with this pokemon, from the very beginning it is just floated in one spot and looked at his Garchomp. Julio was getting more frustrated because Julian is not making any attempt to fight back, he is also just standing there and watching. Julio "Let''s finish this, use Dragon Rush" Mega Garchomp flew up in the air and dove down towards Porygon as destructive energy covered its body, the energy took the form of a massive dragon. Garchomp wanted to destroy its opponent so it put everything behind it, Julian was also done waiting, Porygon should have aplete understanding of Garchomp by now. Julian "Use Psybeam" Porygon started to form very concentrated energy in front of him and then shot it towards the iing Garchomp. Chapter 1195 - Finals (5) The thin line of Psybeam looked like a silk thread shining under the sunlight but it moved in a random pattern, the attack looked very weak because of how thin it looked but it was not, even though it was thin, it had the same amount of power as Porygon''s other Psybeams. People could just see the thin line dancing around in the air as it made its way towards the iing Dragon Rush. As both attacks got close, the Psybeam suddenly made a sharp turn to the right, then made a sharp left turn, and then followed up with another left turn, and in a blink of an eye prated through the neck of the energy dragon and disappeared. The energy dragon suddenly stopped in mid-air and started to bloat up which followed up with a devastating explosion, the explosion was so powerful that the shockwave created from it formed a dent on the battlefield which is right below it and it also triggered the stadium''s defense to protect the people who are enjoying the show. If this shockwave hit, it could have deafened them or ruptured their eardrums. Once the explosion settled down Garchomp came straight crashing down on the ground, it lost its mega evolution and got knocked out. Referee "Garchomp is unable to battle, trainer Julian''s pokemon wins" Since the referee had no idea what the pokemon really is he had to just call it Julian''s pokemon. Everyone was surprised by this, they didn''t expect such an oue, the thin Psybeam was enough to not only counter the Dragon Rush but also knock out Garchomp in the process. If people look deeper into Porygon''s move, they will understand what really happened, the Psybeam was always under Porygon''s control, the Psybeam will move only the way Porygon wants it to move. When Garchomp used the Dragon Rush, Porygon got to work, it figured out every week spot present in the Dragon Rush and infiltrated the week spot which was right between the dragon''s head and neck. Since it was a weak spot, it provided no resistance for the Psybeam, and because of that the Psybeam caused a reaction, destroying the Dragon Rush from the inside, the Psybeam dealt damage to Garchomp, and on top of that, the explosion from the Dragon Rush put an end to the Garchomp. With Garchomp down, Julio has two pokemons left, well if you could Snox then that is three but it still doesn''t look good for Julio. With Garchomp down, Julio suddenly shouted in madness and clutched his head, he didn''t waste any time and sent out his fifth pokemon which is Gengar. As soon as Gengar entered the battlefield Juliomanded it to attack, Gengar rushed towards Porygon to take it out using Shadow w. By now Julio has been so broken that he isn''t even thinking straight making it very easy for Julian to take care of any pokemon that Julio throws at him. Before the Gengar could evene in contact with Porygon, Porygon made his move, Julian didn''t even have tomand anything for Porygon to take out this Gengar. Porygon used Psybeam and hit it right between its eyes sending the Gengar flying out of the battlefield in an instant, the battle ended right after the second it began. Referee "Gengar is unable to battle, trainer Julian''s pokemon win" The referee dered the result again, by now everyone knew that Julian is going to win again, people who doubted Julian felt ashamed of themselves as they have seen this happen many times, no matter who the opponent is Julian will always win because he is just too good. Julio "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!!!!!!!!". Julio was having a massive breakdown that is getting worse as the battle went on. Julio "I have to use it, they told me it is very unstable but I have to use it, there is no other way for me to win other than using it, I have to use it, they will understand because I will be the most powerful man and help them achieve their goal" Julio started to mumble words that no one could hear, Julian frowned as he tried to figure out what is going on with Julio again. Then he suddenly noticed another ck ball in Julio''s hand and this ball looked very different from the one Snox came out of, this one looked a little smaller but the patterns on it were different and very detailed. Julian could tell that Julio was hesitating to bring out this pokemon which made his frown even deeper, the man standing in front of him is a delusional mad man so seeing him hesitate to bring out a pokemon was not a good sign. Julian ''What is it?'' Julian wondered and hope it is not something that can put people in danger. Chapter 1196 - Final (6) Everyone present in the stadium was curious about the Pokeball that is held in Julio''s hand, they wondered what other pokemon has been ruined by this sick bastard. After some hesitation, Julio decided that winning was more important than listening to their orders, he wanted to win more than anything and he will do anything to get it. He tossed the Pokeball up in the air and a massive ck silhouette came out of the Pokeball, this pokemon has almost ck skin with patches of grey around its body, it also has a torus-shaped part on its back which has round marks on it. This pokemon stood over two meters tall, though not the biggest, every part of its body was massive, its four legs dug deep into the ground because of its weight, each of its ws was as big as its head so getting hit by one of them would be devastating. This pokemon''s eyes are glowing red just like Julio''s Snox but there was something different about them, but unlike Snox which seemed lost and had no will, this pokemon had pure madness disyed in its eyes. It was still conscious but it was also out of control at the same time, the only thing that it wanted to do is destroy and decimate anything in front of it. Julian looked at this pokemon and recognized, even though it looked very different from the normal one Julian knows that it has gone through the same thing that the Snox went through but being the pokemon it is, it seems to have resisted the process a little bit keeping it still conscious but out of control. Julian looked at the pokemon at the other end of the battlefield and frowned. Julian "This Volcanion will be very troublesome" Julian murmured as he looked at the ck Volcanion. Julian knows very little about this Mythical pokemon, it is said that Volcanions live in mountains where humans don''t tread. The legends also say that Volcanion is strong enough to blow away mountains with its cannons, Julian is skeptical about this but he still is wary of it, humans always have had the habit of exaggerating about things but all these myths and legends have had roots, they hold some authenticity, even though it is very little Julian has to be careful of it. If Volcanion can really blow away mountains with its cannons then even some of Julian''s old pokemons will not be able to take those hits. Julio "Use Hydro Pump!" Julio ordered as soon as Volcanion entered the battlefield, he wanted to end this battle quickly and send the Volcanion back to its Pokeball as they had warned him that this pokemon is uncontroble. As Julio shouted his order he expected the Volcanion to attack Julian''s Porygon but to his surprise, it didn''t happen, the Volcanion slowly turned towards Julio with rage in its eyes, it growled angrily at Julio and suddenly lifted its front legs high up in the air and mmed it down hard while roaring as loudly as it could. Its roar was so powerful that people sitting in the stadium felt the whole stadium shaking, it then suddenly detached its cannons and aimed it at Julio while staring at him with its fierce eyes. Julio''s eyes went wide as he realized he fucked up, he suddenly remembered a key factor that they had told him, Volcanion was not a pokemon for him to use, it was for his escape. If he ever gets in trouble and there is no way to escape, he was to use this Volcanion, he needed to just release this Volcanion and let it rampage while he makes an escape. He realized that the ones that gave him this Volcanion knew Volcanion won''t listen to him, it would go on a rampage as soon as it sees anything and him grabbing its attention by ordering it brought his own doom. The Volcanion charged two Hydro Pump and sted it at Julio, Julio''s face went pale in fear and regret, the only thing he could do was stand there and take the hit, it felt as if he got hit by a truck that wasing downhill at full speed, the pain that he felt was so intense that he cked out after a few seconds. Julio''s body hit the wall of the stadium with such force that he felt his back shatter and he was not wrong, his lower backbone broke and he lost consciousness while his whole body was rooted deep into the wall of the stadium. This shocked everyone present in the stadium, for the first time in the history of the league, a pokemon attacked its own owner and it didn''t hold back much as well, Julian was also shocked by the development, he never expected the Volcanion to go rouge all of a sudden. Once Volcanion dealt with Julio, it roared and started to rampage around furiously, it turned around while ring angrily at everyone, it roared and started to attack everything around it, it used its two cannons to st a Hydro Pump from one cannon and a methrower from the other. Volcanion has a very rare typebination that is fire and water, and it is the only known fire and water type pokemon, though it is a mythical pokemon there have been much evidence, photos, and sightings from both travelers and pokemon researchers to prove that this pokemon of this myth exists. And now that same pokemon is on a rampage, both of its attacks were aimed at the people sitting in the crowd and they were intended to take life, if not for the stadium''s protective barrier activating there would have been casualties. Because of Volcanion''s attack, people got scared and the league quickly took action and started to evacuate the people, the referee who was on the battlefield also made a run for his life, he was not going to risk his life to continue the battle and since one of the participants have already been dealt with, there is no way this battle will continue. The rampaging Volcanion noticed the referee making a run for his life and suddenly pointed its two cannons at the referee and sted two powerful methrowers at the referee, the two methrowers spiraled around each other and tore through the air as they made their way towards the escaping referee. Chapter 1197 - Fighting Volcanion The referee who was making an escape suddenly felt something extremely hot approaching him at a high speed, he realized that he was about to die, everything around him slowed as his whole life shed before his eyes. He closed his eyes waiting for his death, he would rather want to die than be a cripple after this attack, as he was expecting to get hit by the methrower and die, a second passed away and nothing happened. He turned around and opened his eyes and saw Porygon floating right in front of him shielding him from the methrower that is trying to burn through the protective shield that Porygon has created. Julian "What are you waiting for, get out of here and inform someone to remove him from the battlefield as well" Julian voiced out while pointing at the unconscious Julio, the referee nodded and ran away without looking behind, once the referee was out of the battlefield, it was only Julian, Porygon, and the rampaging Volcanion. Seeing that its attack was stopped by a pokemon, Volcanion roared in anger again and rushed towards Porygon, every step it took shook the ground and left a deep footprint behind it, even though Volcanion is massive and ways a ton it is still very fast. It opened its jaw wide open and tried to bite down on Porygon, even though it didn''t use any of its powered-up moves Porygon still wouldn''t want to get trapped between its powerful crushing jaws. Volcanion''s charge was so powerful that it actually ran right through the protective shield that Porygon has put in front of it, as soon as the protective shield shattered, Volcanion tried to bite down on Porygon but Porygon was fast enough to move away and dodge the bite. Volcanion raged more as it felt its jaw snap onto empty air and nothing else, it turned its head and red at Porygon and charged at it again only to be dodged by Porygon once again. Getting angrier every second, it started to shoot moves like Hydro Pump, methrower, Scald, Fire st, and every other powerful move that it could st. Each and every attack was devastating and even though Porygon is very strong, it has no chance of surviving any one of these attacks, Porygon kept moving all over the ce and continued to dodge the rampage of Volcanion. Even Julian had to move around and keep running all over the battlefield to escape from its attacks, Julian jumped and moved around and whenever he couldn''t just move away, he would use Omniforce to block the attacks. The attacks from Volcanion were taking a toll on the stadium, the protective shield of the stadium started to dim down little by little, luckily the people have been sent away leaving the stadiumpletely empty. A group of highly trained league agents rushed in and dragged the unconscious Julio away from the Volcanion without getting noticed by it. With every person out of the stadium, Julian could finally take action and bring down this Volcanion. As he was about to confront it, his phone buzzed, he took it out and looked at it to find Ang''s message which read that Lysander is going to make a move. When Julian read this, he frowned. Julian ''Couldn''t he wait for five more minutes?'' Julian wondered and dodged a Hyper Beam that just went past through him at hair length, he then quickly typed a few messages and sent it to multiple people, them being Ang and Cynthia, while Ang is told to inform the admins under him to take control over Team re and make sure that no citizens get hurt and keep them safe and he told Cynthia to take the league and confront Lysander and stop his actions. Once he was done he put away his phone and looked at the rampaging Volcanion again, it is still chasing after Porygon trying to capture it like a fly. Volcanion is getting annoyed by how Porygon is ying with it, though Porygon is not as strong as Volcanion, it can easily predict what Volcanion was about to do before it even does it, having a brain that can process information as fast as aputer, Porygon can even see the smallest twitches in its opponent''s muscles and figure out how they are going to move. It can also sense the type of energy its opponent is collecting inside its body to predict what type of move it will be using, even with the state Volcanion is in, Porygon has no trouble deciphering it andpletely overwhelming it with its movements. Seeing that Porygon had everything in control, Julian smiled and knew it was ready to bring down this beast. Julian "Use Thunderbolt" Julianmanded, with Julian''s order, Porygon locked its eye on Volcanion''s limb joint and sted a powerful Thunderbolt at Volcanion''s front limb. The thunderbolt rippled through the air with the sound of rumbling thunder and made contact with Volcanion, as soon as the contact happened, Volcanion lost control over its leg and suddenly went down on one knee. It didn''t feel any pain but it roared in anger as it couldn''t move its leg no matter how hard it tried, it turned its head at Porygon and then aimed its two cannons at Porygon and sted two methrowers at Porygon but once again Porygon dodged it very easily. Since Volcanion was not making any rational decision and was filled with rage, Porygon was easily able to get the upper hand, no matter how strong Volcanion is, if it cannot think properly it will lose. Julian "Immobilize it quickly" Julian ordered. Porygon started to disappear and reappear around Volcanion and continued to st Thunderbolt andpletely immobilize Volcanion. Chapter 1198 - Destruction Of The City. Though Volcanion waspletely disabled and couldn''t move an inch, it could still control its cannons and shoot out its attacks, Porygon targeted those cannons many times but couldn''t disable them, those cannons werepletely unaffected and seeing how dexterous those cannons were, Porygon was still not safe from those cannons. They kept on firing and every attack carried devastating power behind them, the stadium''s protective shield could no longer hold and got destroyed, Julian was really surprised by this, the protection that this shield could withstand about 30 megatons of force shattered. This protective shield could withstand a medium-sized nuke and it was shattered by the attacks from Volcanion, this just showed how devastating Volcanion''s attack really is. Julian wondered if Julio even survived the attack, he will soon find out once he is done with Volcanion. Volcanion continued with its attacks and started destroying the stadium with its attacks, Julian frowned seeing this, if these attacks continue the whole stadium will copse and put many lives at risk, having no options to knock out the monster, Julian decide to seal it. Julian "Gengar, send it to your dimension" Julian ordered Gengar to take out Volcanion as his other pokemons don''t have any other options, Julian doesn''t want to kill Volcanion, he wants to find a way to heal this pokemon and remove its curse. Gengar''s shadow expanded all over the battlefield turning itpletely ck, then chains made of shadow shot out from all over the ground and headed towards Volcanion which is right in the middle of the battlefield while making arcs. Volcanion sensed the danger and for the first time during its rampage state, it showed intelligence but it was useless, with its legspletely out of function there is no escape. The chains made from shadow wrapped around Volcanion''s cannons and folded them and then tied them to Volcanion''s body, more chains approached Volcanion and wrapped around its bodypletely covering it. Once Volcanion''s whole body was covered in shadow chains it started to get dragged into the shadow, Volcanion wanted to struggle but with no legs to assist it, it sank into the shadow like a drowning ship. The battlefield now only had Julian and Porygon whole Gengar still lurk in the shadow, with the stadium beingpletely abandoned and in ruins, it looked as if the whole stadium has gone through the test of time, there is dust and dribbles everywhere. The league will have to spend a lot of millions to fix this stadium and they will especially have to spend a lot to rece the protective shield. As Julian was wondering how to fix Volcanion, he heard explosions and screamsing from outside. He looked up in the air as he felt the sudden change in the weather, dark clouds covered the sky and red-colored lightning shot out of it several times with rumbling thunder. Julian knew that this is caused by the machine that Lysander has created, from what Ang has informed him this machine is to power up the Zygarde they have under their control and also to control it, without this machine the Zygarde will go out of control, and can be detrimental to both themon people and Team re members. Julian looked at Porygon and sent it back to its Pokeball and decided to head out, as soon as he walked out of the stadium he saw massive red tree roots covering the whole city, the streets arepletely abandoned and he saw a few team re members guarding some shelter gates with confusion in their faces. They didn''t know why they were told to guard the shelter gates which held the citizens behind them. They didn''t understand it but since it was an order for the admins, they couldn''t do anything but follow orders as it is the most important rule in Team re, one cannot go against their superior''s order. Julian then looked at the Prism tower and saw a red beam shooting towards the sky. Julian "Let''s make a quick work out of it" Julian said and put on his dark long coat and his ck full face mask, he then took out a Pokeball and released Kyurem from inside, Kyurem came out of the Pokeball and looked at the sky and observed the changes. Julian got on Kyurem''s back and Kyurem took to the air, Julian made his way towards the Prism tower and saw the culprit behind the roots that gued the whole city, he saw a red Zygarde. This Zygarde was clearly under control and it seems to be heading out of the city as the roots followed it and rampaged through everything, any buildings or monuments that appeared in front of these roots would get destroyed and reduced to crumbles. Being a legendary pokemon, Julian expected this from this Zygarde, even though it is just one Zygarde core it is already more powerful than a second-rate legendary pokemon. And with it under the control of Lysander, this one is more dangerous. As Julian wondered how he should tackle this situation, he felt one of the Pokeball inside his pouch pulsing, he took out the Pokeball and released it, his own Zygarde core came out and took its ce on his shoulder and looked down at the red Zygarde. Julian could feel the frustration and pain of the Zygarde core on his shoulder. Julian "Don''t worry, I will take care of it" Julian said and as he was about to dive down to put a stop to the Zygarde''s rampage, he saw a few familiar faces rushing towards the Zygarde core. Chapter 1199 - Confronting Lysander Julian saw Ash and his friends rush towards the Zygarde and they seem to be following another Zygarde core which is hopping its way towards the 50% Zygarde. Julian was surprised to see another Zygarde core, three cores in the same vicinity was something that doesn''t happen very much as every core stays far away from each other to cover every part of the world and keep watch to protect the power from imminent danger. The Zygarde core on Julian''s shoulder also saw another part of it and got worried, they all are one and the same and if one is hurt every other core is also damaged a little, even though they all have different consciousness at the end they are all the same and connected to each other. Julian also watched carefully as the Zygarde core stopped right in front of the red 50% Zygarde and tried tomunicate with it, right behind the Zygarde core stood the little blond girl Bonnie who is traveling alongside Ash and his friends. The little girl seemed to be worried about the Zygarde core so the Zygarde core turned around and reassured her that everything is going to be fine. With its attempt tomunicate with the 50% Zygarde fail, there was only one thing the Zygarde core could do and that is to fight it, the Zygarde core glowed and suddenly green beams from all over the world flew towards its location and started to fuse with it. The Zygarde core soon revealed itself as it transformed into 50% Zygarde as well but unlike the red one, it is green in color. The two Zygardes began to battle which forced Ash and his friends to evacuate from there, they couldn''t risk getting caught by one of the Zygarde''s attacks. Julian just watched and didn''t interfere, with the two Zygardes locked inbat he should be able to focus on Lysander and take him out before he takes care of Zygarde. Julian "Let that Zygarde handle the under influenced one, I need to find Lysander and shut down the machine" Julian said while looking at the Zygarde core on his shoulder, Zygarde stared at Julian and agreed with him, it also wanted to see the person behind this event. In its opinion, Julian is the only human it could trust and he was the only one that has helped it during its times of trouble, whatever Julian would do is ok with this Zygarde core. With a nod from Zygarde core, Julian told Kyurem to make his way towards the prism tower and with Kyurem''s speed, it didn''t even take a minute before Kyurem was hovering over the tower while Julian''s eyes fell over Lysander who is standing beside a fat man. Julian looked at the fat man and thought that this man should be Xerosic, the guy is lusting over his Ang but Julian doesn''t care about it at all, he knows he has a very hot ve and perverts like him will always have their lustful eyes over her body and that is the only thing they can get. Ang is his and no one could touch that body other than him. While Lysander was enjoying the view of the city being destroyed by the roots created by the red 50% Zygarde, he didn''t notice the looming threat over his head. Xerosic on the other hand was much more alert about his environment as he is a little nervous doing what they are doing and because of this he noticed the shadow looming over him, he looked up and his eyes shrunk and his heart stopped beating for a second before going crazy, his already fair skin turned pale and he started to stammer as he tried to inform Lysander. Lysander noticing Xerosic turned to him to see what is happening, when he saw Xerosic panicking and looking up at the sky, Lysander followed and saw the legendary pokemon Kyurem along with a man in a mask standing on top of it. As soon as Lysander saw this, his heart also stopped for a second from fright before he calmed himself and put a frown on his face, being the person he is, he expected setbacks in his n and this is just the very first obstacle to his world domination. Lysander "I was expecting this, I knew you would one daye for me seeing how many times you have tried to stop me from achieving my goals, from what I see you are just what the world doesn''t need, a man who is so obsessed with justice that he cannot see the filth that this world has turned into and how filthier it will get" Lysander voiced out. Hearing him Julian wanted tough and let out a chuckle. Julian "You think too much of yourself, I am not doing this because of a sense of justice, I am doing this just because your existence itself is annoying to me, what you are doing disrupts my lifestyle and people around me. So I decided to put an end to this stupidity of yours" Julian said. Lysander "You are to stop the world from getting better just because you don''t want it to affect your life, how can you be so selfish, you are a disgrace to this world that has given birth to yo-" Julian "Stop it right there, I have other things to do, it''s best to get rid of you right here and now, Kyurem, use Ice Beam" Julian ordered, he didn''t want to mess around and continue to talk with Lysander as he is just another delusional idiot, Lysander quickly took out a Pokeball and sent out his Pyroar to fight against Julian''s Kyurem. Chapter 1200: All VS One Chapter 1200: All VS One Lysandre''s Pyroar came out and used methrower to counter the iing Ice Beam of Kyurem and as the two moves shed, a sizzling sound filled the surroundings as hot and cold came in contact but it was not an even match, the Ice Beam just tore through the methrower and hit Pyroar and froze it on the spot. The pokemon didn''t even get a chance to escape and got turned into an icicle, Lysandre frowned as he saw one of his strongest pokemon get destroyed so easily, he realized that he cannot take on this man all alone, he needs back up. Lysandre "Call all the admins for backup and help me fight him" Lysandre ordered Xerosic and sent out another pokemon into the battlefield, the pokemon he sent out this time is a massive red Gyarados, the red Gyarados came out of the Pokeball and roared up in the sky while ring at Kyurem and Julian. Even though it felt the power difference between it and Kyurem, it didn''t show any sign of fear, Xerosic on the side quickly informed all the admins to abandon everything ande here as soon as possible. After he was done sending the message, he also took out two pokeballs and sent out a Crobat and Mmar so they could assist Gyarados in the battle, Lysandre took out two more pokeballs and sent out Mienshao and Honchkrow to assist Gyarados as well but he didn''t stop there, he took out his keystone and shed it and started to mega evolve his Gyarados. His Gyarados mega evolved and became bigger and stronger, it roared again dering its strength to Kyurem but Kyurem just felt offended by this, it is a Legendary pokemon of the myths and it has been revered and feared for ages and now this pokemon was trying to intimidate it with a pathetic roar. Kyurem got angry but didn''t do anything as Julian didn''t bother to tell it what to do. Lysandre "Even if you have a legendary pokemon, you cannot take on all of us at the same time, you overestimated yourself" Lysandre dered with a serious face, he has always been a serious person and even in face of overwhelming sess he wouldn''t get smug about it, this is one of his good qualities but atst, it won''t help him at all and he has severely overestimated himself and his small group of pokemons as he thinks they can take on Julian''s Kyurem. With all the training that Julian has put Kyurem through, he is clearly the strongest legendary pokemon on the and this is not even his final form, Julian can feed Kyurem his omniforce and temporary turn Kyurem into his original form, the form of the true dragon from which Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom separated from. Kyurem doesn''t even need Zekrom and Reshiram to achieve full form which boosts his power three times his current form surpassing Julian''s Snox and Gengar easily while giving a very hardpetition to Julian''s Infernape. Julian "Sure, believe whatever you want to, at the end of the day, I am going to put a stop to your madness" Julian said. Lysandre "Everyone attack" Lysander ordered and every pokemon in front of him attacked, his mega Gyarados used Hyper Beam, his Mienshao used Aura Sphere, and his Honchkrow used Dark Pulse. Xerosic''s pokemons also attacked, his Mmar used Psybeam, and his Crobat used Air sh. All these attacks carried devastating power behind them and with thebined force of all these attacks, it could destroy skyscrapers and turn them into dust but Julian didn''t even bat an eye at them. Kyurem red coldly with its chilling eyes and suddenly created an ice wall in front of it, the ice wall was massive and thick, as soon as all these attacks made contact with the ice wall, the sound of ice shattering could be heard as dust and smoke covered the ice wall. Each attacknded one after the other causing the whole prism tower to tremor as if it was experiencing a mini earthquake even though the ice wall was not in contact with the tower. Just the shockwave from these attacks caused this. As the smoke started to clear up, Lysander expected to see a hurt Kyurem but to his surprise, the ice wall was still there standing strong with cracks and broken pits right in the middle, Lysandre was shocked by this, even the Zygarde under his control wouldn''te out unscathed from this but this Kyurem blocked it with ease. The ice wall soon started to crumble, not because of the attacks but because Kyurem wanted to get rid of it, massive blocks of ice started to fall down and shatter forcing Lysander, Xerosic, and their pokemons to take cover so they don''t get hurt by these ice shards. Lysandre clicked his tongue as realized it will take more to take down this foe but he is still confident in his ability to handle it, he still has a hidden card up his sleeve that should be enough for his n. As Lysandre was nning on what to do, he noticed the arrival of all the admins of Team re, now all seven admins were present here along with Caroline that puts his manpower two eight elite fighters and with theirbined forces, there is no way this masked man can take him on. And he may be right, if Julian doesn''t have a pokemon that can perform a wide-area attack, he will get overwhelmed by all these trainers and their pokemons but that is not the case, Julian trains all his pokemons so that they can be used in any kind of situation. Lysandre "Now you are going down, admins, attack him". Lysandre ordered anticipating a barrage of pokemon moves being thrown at his nemesis. Chapter 1201: Angela Gets Her Revenge Chapter 1201: Ang Gets Her Revenge After his order, Lysandre expected all of his admins to group up and attack his nemesis and as they were about to, a friendly fire happened. Aliana, Bryony, Celosia, Mable, and Caroline suddenly took out their pokemons and attacked Xerosic''s and the twins'' pokemons. This caught Lysandre and the other three admins by surprise, because of the sneak attack, all of their pokemons were seriously injured. Lysandre''s eyes widened as he looked at his admins, the four girls who had followed him for a very long time, and the hot walking sex bomb Caroline who he wanted to fuck and trusted a lot. Lysandre "What do you think you are doing?" He questioned in anger, this is the first time he showed emotion on his face. None of them answered his question, instead, Caroline turned towards Julian and took a knee for him. "Wee Master". She said with a loud and respectful tone, and seconds after the other four admins also took a knee toward Julian and weed him. "WELCOME MASTER!!!!" All four of them dered louder. Lysander saw this and realized what is going on, he found out that these four admins who he trusted a lot betrayed him but he didn''t understand why, he gave them everything, money, power, and very high status in the new world he would create, so why, why would they betray him. Lysandre "Caroline, why? Why would you betray me?" He asked frustrated, Caroline betraying him hurt him more than the other four girls, Caroline had this magic to woo anyone and Lysandre was not immune to it as well, he fell for her hard just like every other man that tried to get with her. Ang "*tch*" She clicked her tongue in annoyance for disturbing her admiring her master''s magnificent figure as he stood on top of the legendary pokemon Kyurem, only her Master could have a legendary pokemon as his ride and this excited her very much, the other four girls were also feeling the same and were annoyed by Lysandre''s voice. "Don''t call me with that filthy mouth of yours, my name is Ang, not Caroline and I belong to my master so don''t even dare look at me with those creepy eyes of yours" Ang said and looked at back Julian with worship in her eyes. Julian "All of you stand, take care of the rest, I will deal with Lysandre" Julian ordered. As soon as Julian ordered, Ang and the admins under him surrounded the three admins and started attacking them. Xerosic and the twins were in crisis, especially Xerosic as Ang personally targeted him, she was truly disguised by this fat man, she hated how his creepy eyes would always be on her ass or breasts, her body belonged to her master, and this man looking at them defiled them in her opinion. She wanted to gouge out his eyes and she didn''t hold back, she was not even attacking his pokemons, her target was directly him and Xerosic tried his hardest to protect himself but his pokemons were no match for Ang''s Zoroark, they got knocked out after a few exchanges. Zoroark then proceeded to kick Xerosic right between his legs as per Ang''s order, feeling a very strong kick between his legs blew the wind out of Xerosic, he went on his knee and couldn''t even scream in pain because he stopped breathing because of the extreme pain. After a few seconds, he was forced to breathe and he cried as loud as he could from pain and rolled around while grabbing his nuts, tears flowed down his eyes and he tried his best to reduce his pain. Xerosic felt his eggs shatter as Zoroark didn''t hold back at all, he will never be able to pass down his offspring ever again. Ang approached Xerosic and lifted her pointy heel show and pressed it hard against Xerosic''s crotch stopping him from rolling around. Xerosic was crying in pain while looking at Ang with fear in his eyes, this is the first time she has seen how cold Ang''s eyes could get, he saw the disgust and hatred in her eyes towards him. Xerosic "I... I am so...sorry" He begged for forgiveness but Ang was not a forgiving person. Ang "Finally, it feels so good. Do you know how long I have waited for this day, this body of mine only belongs to my master, and seeing you leer at it with your disgusting eyes every day disgusted me to the core! How I wanted to gouge your eyes every day but now, I don''t want to. You can use those eyes of yours to see your shattered balls and remember never to look at me or any woman like that ever again". She said and kicked him right between his legs with the pointy end of her shoe again causing Xerosic to wail in pain, the area between his legs was now stained with red indicating that he was bleeding from there. Even Julian shuddered as he saw this happen to Xerosic, he even felt a little pity for the man but he didn''t stop Ang from doing it, he is also very angry at this fat bastard for ring at his property with his disgusted eyes, if it was Julian he would have gouged his eyes but destroying his balls was also something Julian was pleased with. Julian nodded at Ang and then got closer to Lysandre to deal with him. Ang beamed with a beautiful smile as she saw Julian approving her actions, for her today just got a lot better. Now she watched her master''s heroic figure with worship and lust in her eyes, she wanted to be used and rewarded by Julian for all her hard work. Chapter 1202: Drastic Measure From Lysandre Chapter 1202: Drastic Measure From Lysandre Lysander who just watched Xerosic''s ball gets crushed gulped down as he realized he could have been Xerosic if he had tantly shown his lust towards Caroline or Ang, whoever she is. He had seen Xerosic tantly try to flirt with Caroline/Ang many times and always got rejected, once Lysander took control of the city, he even thought of teaching Xerosic a lesson to impress Caroline so she can be his woman but now it looks like that dream will just be a dream. Lysandre then saw the man on the Kyurem approaching him, he panicked and moved behind his mega Gyarados to protect himself. Lysandre "Use, Hydro Pump" Lysander ordered and tried his best to keep the masked man away from him till he can figure out a way to escape from here to incite the n B. Julian "Dragon Pulse" Julian ordered. Kyurem expanded its chest and started to build up a massive amount of dragon energy and concentrated it before sting it towards the iing Hydro Pump, the Dragon Pulse burst out of Kyurem''s mouth tearing through the air and distorting space in front of it as it made contact with the Hydro Pump. The Hydro Pump didn''t stand a chance as the Dragon Pulse tore right through it, mega Gyarados didn''t even realize before the inside of its mouth got hit by the Dragon Pulse sending its massive head swinging into the ground as its whole body took a nasty bend. Its head crashed hard against the floor which created a massive crater on the floor as cracks started to spread across the edges of the prism tower. Lysandre was shocked by the disy of power, he looked at Kyurem and felt that if he had it under his control, the idea of world domination was not farfetched at all, if he could get his hands on this Kyurem, he will be unstoppable but first, he needs to escape. As Julian was about to confront Lysandre, he heard footsteps approaching them, he looked behind and saw Ash and his friends have arrived as well, they looked at the scene and werepletely confused. They rushed here to stop Lysandre but from the looks of it, things already seem to be in control, they saw team re admins battling their own and Lysandre defeated while his pokemons were out cold, they then looked at the man standing on top of a legendary pokemon. They couldn''t see his face as his face was covered, they didn''t know who this person was and as Julian''s current appearance was very different they couldn''t recognize him, with his whole face and body covered by a full face mask that looked like a dragon face, a full ck coat that had a hood covering his head, ck gloves to cover his hand and long ck boots. They couldn''t even make his eyes as the eye holes in his mask were tinted. They wondered who this person is but they were d to see that he has already stopped Lysandre. in was also in the group and looked at Lysandre with aplicated look on his face, Lysandre looked at in and felt this was his chance to escape. Lysandre "in, help me out here" He said. But in didn''t, he still had aplicated look on his face. in "Sir, when you said, you would create a better world and help cure my friend''s pokemon, this is what you meant?" He asked. Lysandre "Of course, you still have a lot to learn boy, to get things done, one needs power and when I achieve it, you will be the first one I help so quick, cover for me" Lysandre said. in had a frown on his face as he heard Lysandre''s words, the only reason in had been following his orders was that he promised to help treat a pokemon of a trainer who is very dear to in, Lysandre told him that energy from mega stones can help heal this pokemon and get it out from its critical state, because of this in traveled all over Kalos so he can collect as many mega stones and keystones for Lysander but it looks like everything was a lie. in was not stupid enough to believe that world domination leads to healing that injured pokemon, he realized that Lysandre was just using him and taking advantage of his situation for his own selfish cause. in "I think you should surrender Mr. Lysandre, it''s over" He said. Lysandre "Boy have you forgotten how much have I helped you, is this the way you repay me". Julian "Enough of this bullshit, It''s time to end this" Julian said was about to attack Lysandre again when Lysandre suddenly aimed a weapon attached to his arm at in and shot him, this was a gun with a bullet that travels at the speed of 4000 feet per second. This, of course, would have no effect on Julian but someone like in ispletely defenseless to it, Julian tried to stop the bullet but it was useless, the bullet hit in on the stomach. This caught everyone by shock, even Julian was shocked by the drastic measure that Lysandre took, seizing this chance where everyone was caught up in shock, Lysandre suddenly ran and jumped off the prism tower, Julian looked at Lysandre escaping but looked back at in who is currently leading very heavily. Julian ''Lysandre can wait'' Julian thought and told Kyurem to get closer to in. Chapter 1203: Lysanders Escape Chapter 1203: Lysander''s Escape Julian is more concerned about in than catching Lysander, he can get his hands on Lysander any time, what is more, important is saving in right now. He got off Kyurem and approached in who is lying on the floor while clutching his stomach trying to stop the bleeding, Ash and his friends had a worried look on their faces and they were clearly traumatized by this, this is the first time they have seen something like this and this will definitely affect them. Julian kneeled down and checked on in and sighed in relief as in was much more stable than he expected, he also checked if the bullet has gone through in or not, seeing that there is no exit wound on his body, Julian knew that the bullet is still inside so using any healing item would bepletely useless. Julian has many items that canpletely heal a bullet would but if Julian gives one of these items to in, his wound might heal but the bullet will be logged inside which can cause a lot ofplications, Julian is not a doctor so he won''t take unnecessary risk. But since he has a lot of experience with bullet wounds due to his past, he knew what to do. He took out some bandages and tightly wrapped them around in''s waist to stop the bleeding so that in doesn''t lose too much blood. He then called for an airlift to the hospital, just in a few minutes a medical chopper arrived and took away in with them, Julian then looked at the little blond girl and noticed two Zygarde cores in her hand, this surprised Julian because he didn''t expect the rouge red Zygarde was actually subdued by Ash and his friends. The Zygarde core on Julian''s shoulder also looked at the other two cores and bobbed its head and they did the same, the little girl wanted to be excited about seeing another Zygarde core but the thought of in being injured just concerned her. Ash and his friends then thanked him and left to check on in. With Ash and his friends taking leave, the only ones left are Julian and team re admins, Julian looked at Ang and then at the red beam that is still shooting at the sky. Julian doesn''t know how Ash and his friends were able to help the Zygarde but he was d. Julian "Ang, turn off that machine and send those three to the authorities" Julian ordered. Ang nodded her head and got to work, she went down and stopped the huge machine while the twin admins were tied up, there was no need to tie up Xerosic because he was unconscious because of the pain he was suffering. Julian "As for the four of you, you will be contacted by my people, you will work as agents in my organization, make sure to perform well and you might get a reward". Julian said and decided to leave as well, he still has to get his hands on Lysandre and put an end to his madness, Julian didn''t know what else Lysandre can do if he is willing to kill a kid just for a chance to escape. Julian got back on top of Kyurem and flew up high in the sky as he looked down trying to figure out where Lysandre escaped, he looked at the ground through the sky but he couldn''t find anything that would lead him to Lysandre. It looks like Lysandre had it all nned out, he had an escape n if failure, and that is why he chose his location to be the top of prism tower. Julian "That sly bastard, but he won''t escape for long". Julian didn''t have the capability to find a single person in a city, if he wants to find someone he will have to send out his pokemons, and even with them, they cannot cover the whole city, but someone else can do it for him. Julian took out his phone and called his beloved Cynthia. Julian "Baby, you need to inform the league about something" Julian said. Cynthia "What is it" Julian "Issue a wide-scale manhunt for Lysandre, he escaped from the prism tower a few minutes ago, he cannot have gone too far away" Cynthia "I will get to it right away" She said and quickly got to work, not even five minutes have passed and the league is already on the move, league agents have already swarmed the roads of the city and looking through every nook and cranny of the city. Julian also keeps his eye on the city from the sky, with his enhanced eyesight he should be able to notice anything that is unusual. After a few minutes, Julian thought of what would he do if he wanted to escape, and the only answer he could find is the sewers. Suddenly realizing that Lysander could have used the sewers, Julian looked for manholes around the prims tower and as he predicted, he found multiple manholes but the bigger problem was that each manhole lead to different parts of the city. The sewers system of the city is veryplex and finding one man is almost impossible with the smell being so pungent inside the sewer, pokemons who can use smell to track people arepletely useless. Julian clicked his tongue in annoyance as he realized that Lysander might escape but he hasn''t lost hope. Chapter 1204: Lysandres Escape 2 Chapter 1204: Lysandre''s Escape 2 Lysandre could have used the sewer system to escape and Julian has no way to track down him by using the sewer but he could block Lysander''s path of escape leaving him trapped inside the sewer until he fishes out him from the sewers. Julian once again called Cynthia to inquire about the league''s progress. Julian "Babe, how is the progress going, did they find anything?" Julian asked. Cynthia "Nothing yet, there seems to be no sign of Lysandre anywhere, he must have escaped through a secret passage". She said. Julian "I think he used the sewers to escape, tell the league''s men to block off all the exit of the sewer, he won''t be able to live all his life down there" Julian said. Cynthia "Alright, I will get the agents to close all the manholes and exits of the sewers". Julian "Thank you, let''s spend some time after all this is dealt with". Julian said. Cynthia "dly, by the way, what about that Volcanion?" She asked as she was very concerned about the Volcanion. Julian "I have it under control for now and what about the Julio guy?" Cynthia "He is in aa, his spine has shattered which should make him disabled for life, he should have died but he used some kind of device to save himself before Volcanion''s attacknded on him". Cynthia exined. Julian "I see, let''s not talk about it now, I will meet youter at our ce". Cynthia "Fine, love you" Julian "Love you too". Julian ended the call and ordered Kyurem to go near the manhole closest to the prism tower. Kyuremnded next to the manhole as per Julian''s instruction, Julian got of Kyurem and walked towards the manhole and checked it, seeing the gap between the lid of the manhole and the entrance, it was clear that it has been opened recently as the dust has not covered the gaps. Julian sent Kyurem back to its Pokeball before covering himself with omniforce and lifted the lid of the manhole, as soon as he lifted the lid of the manhole his whole body was assaulted by hot air. Though Julian couldn''t smell the shit, he didn''t like now the hot air felt on his body, he shivered and adjusted the omniforce around him so that he won''t have to experience the hot air when he is inside. He didn''t know how Lysander could even enter this manhole while it stank so much, putting aside his disgust, Julian directly jumped into the manhole, hended on the floor of the sewer right next to the sewage, he looked to his side and saw green liquid flowing down the channel. Seeing the direction the water flowed, Julian started to walk following the flow of water as the water will lead him to the exit that Lysandre might have taken. In the dark sewers, Julian could see everything because of his incredible eyesight, even though the light here was very little, it was enough for him, there were some parts of the sewers that werepletely dark so he took out a shlight to check the surrounding. He can''t miss anything as any little clue left behind by Lysandre could help him track the bastard down, after a few minutes of walking Julian cause across a cross-section where two sewer channels meet before joining the same channel, this was a relief to Julian as he realized that no matter what path Lysandre takes, he will have to go through here to reach the exit which is connected to several sewer channels. Julian quickened his steps and the deeper he went, the deeper the frown on his face got, Cynthia has informed him that all the exits of the sewers have been blocked and there is no way Lysandre can escape, so the only thing Lysandre can do is retrace his steps but till now Julian has found nothing that would indicate that Lysandre was here. There were no footprints and the life under here is very active as well, if Lysandre was here small pokemons like Rattata would have gone into hiding and wouldn''t have openly roamed around when Julian got there, these pokemons are spooked very easily so when they noticed Julian, they would bolt away into hiding. Soon Julian reached the end of the sewer exit and to his disappointment, he couldn''t find Lysandre at all, he didn''t even find a trace of human activity on his way here. Julian "I am sure he took the sewers to escape. If I wanted to escape, I would havee here but he didn''t, what is he nning?" Julian questioned and thought about it and he suddenly thought of something. Julian "Unless, he is not trying to escape". He voiced out and turned around to look at the path he took toe here. Julian "He must have gone deeper into the sewers. But why?" Julian questioned and quickened his steps, he then started running, his running speed kept increasing, from 20 Kmph to 30, then 40, then 50, then 60, his speed kept on increasing. And as he was running, he suddenly felt a tremor that ran across the whole sewer system. Julian was not the only one who felt and heard the loud rumbling. The whole city of Lumiose felt it. Julian "Shit!" Julian said and increased his speed reaching almost 150 Kmph before finallying to a stop causing the ground beneath his feet to shatter and he nted them hard into the solid concrete to break. Julian''s eyes widened as he saw a massive sinkhole right in front of him and this sinkhole was not naturally formed, it was done by something as Julian could still feel the lingering destructive energy in the air. Julian "What has that idiot done?" Julian questioned as he looked down the dark deep hole, he took out his shlight and pointed it down. The sinkhole is so deep that even the light of his shlight faded away into darkness. Julian "Going down there would be a waste of time, I don''t know how deep the hole is and if Lysandre has created tunnels to move around". Julian mumbled. If Lysandre could create such a deep endless sinkhole in a matter of minutes, then him creating multiple tunnels to form an underground maze is not a farfetched idea at all. Julian is not going to go on a goose chase, if Lysandre wants to run then let him run, if he wants to seed then he will have to resurface and when he does, it will be a quick end to his madness. Chapter 1205: Lysandre Resurfaces Chapter 1205: Lysandre Resurfaces Julian decided to call off the hunt as he is not going down this sinkhole to search for Lysandre, it would be a waste of time, and Lysandre mighte to the surface while he might still be inside this sinkhole and seeing how deep the sinkhole is, he might not even get informed if something happens as reception down there will be nonexistent. He got out of the manhole and called Cynthia again. Julian "Did you feel that tremor?" He asked. Cynthia "Yes, not only me but the whole city felt it, what was it?" Julian "Lysandre made a sinkhole right here in the sewers and escaped" Julian answered. Cynthia "How?" She asked surprised, a sinkhole cannot be created just like that and if she saw how big and deep the sinkhole really is, she wouldn''t believe her eyes. Julian "I don''t know, he has something very dangerous so be careful, tell the league to not only increase activity in Lumiose but also the whole Kalos. When Lysandre surfaces, I will deal with him" Julian said. Cynthia "Ok, I will meet you back at home" She said and Julian ended the call and returned to his home, the day was quite chaotic because of what happened, since the Zygardes were under control now, the league and the city officials got to work on removing the massive roots that gued the city walls and streets. Some people lost their houses but the league provided them temporary ces to stay while their houses were being restored. Luckily Julian''s and his fianc¨¦es'' house didn''t go down, he spent his time cooling off with his three beautiful fianc¨¦es while the league go busy looking out for Lysandre, seeing if he reappears so they can go and capture him. By now the whole Kalos is on alert and Lysandre is the most wanted man in the whole of Kalos, even other regions under the league are on high alert and if they see Lysandre, they are to arrest him. After things settled down the league announced Julian as the winner as Julio was announced disqualified because of endangering the lives of people, this time the league didn''t hold a trophy presentation ceremony because of the state the city is in. The league just sent the prices to the trainers by mail and acknowledged them on their website, though some people were not happy with it, most knew that the league have better things to do like fix the city than present some trophies to the participants on the league. Julian was sent a massive trophy which was embedded with diamonds and precious stones while the body was made of Padium. This trophy loos very expensive and it looks like the league spent a lot to make this one, being the winner he was the only one who got a trophy made of Padium, with Julio being disqualified Ash was dered as the runner up of the league. __________________ Another day passed and things seem to have calmed down but Julian knew that this was just the calmness before the storm, Cynthia was very busy as she was trying her best to hunt down Lysandre so whatever he is nning, she will be able to stop him before he is able to do that. Julian was also worried about Cynthia because he has seen the power that Lysandre possessed right now, to make that sinkhole the power needed was too much, Cynthia though strong doesn''t have it in her to take Lysandre alone right now. Luckily for her, she has backup, the elite four and the gym leaders have joined her along with the champion of Kalos Diantha as well. Everyone was looking for Lysander right now while he is out there hidden from the world nning something diabolical. Julian, on the other hand, stayed back in Lumiose city to be with Daisy and Chloe, and Lumiose city being Lysandre''s prime target Julian thought that he might target it again as it is still the capital city and if Lysandre wants to take over Kalos, he needs to take over Lumiose city. ___________________ Another day passed and things are getting better in Lumiose city, people are getting back to work while store owners have opened small stalls to sell a few items till their stores get restored. Julian waited for Cynthia to give him something that he could work with, he also sent Ang to assist Cynthia so that she doesn''t overwork herself. Julian was sitting at home when he suddenly received a call from Cynthia, he quickly picked up to find out why she called. Cynthia "We found him, well, we didn''t really find him, he just appeared out of nowhere and is heading towards Anistar city right now. We are trying our best to stop him" Julian "How many people and what is he using?" Julian asked. Cynthia "Every gym leader is here along with the elite four and Diantha, some local trainers, Ash and his friends, Ang and I, we all are trying out best to stop this thing but it doesn''t seem to take any damage" She said worriedly. Julian "What is it?" Julian asked. Cynthia "I don''t know, it looks like a Zygarde but made of stones, it is ck in color and is emitting a red glow from its chest" She exined. Julian "Don''t worry, I will be there very soon" Julian said and ended the call. Julian "That thing must be the secret weapon that Lysandre has been keeping secret till now" Julian said and got up and put on his full-face ck demon mask, a glossy ck long coat, high ck boots, and ck gloves to cover every part of the body, he then called out Kyurem and got on top of it and told it to head towards Anistar city. Chapter 1206: Unstoppable Lysandre Chapter 1206: Unstoppable Lysandre Miles away from Anistar city, in a massive barrennd that has nothing but emptiness and dead trees with dust being moved around by the hot wind, one could see a group of very powerful trainers, this group consists of trainers that are gym leaders, Champions and very strong trainers whopeted in the league. If this group was seen in public people would go crazy becausebined, this group could take down an entire government if they want but now this group seems to be struggling against something that doesn''t seem to be of this world. Cynthia and Diantha were in the lead as Cynthia''s Garchomp was in its mega evolution form alongside her Zoroark which she defeated at captured in the past and right beside these two pokemons were a mega Gardevoir and Goodra which belongs to Diantha. And even with these two champions taking the lead assisted by some of the best trainers in Kalos they were still being pushed back, a group of young trainers could be seen trying to approach this monstrosity that is destroying everything in front of it. This group of young trainers are none other than Ash and his friends, Ash''s Ash-Greninja, a mega Charizard X, Pikachu were in the lead as they were trying to get past through tentacles made of ck rocks, each of these tentacles seems to have a lot of power and the pokemons were trying their best to avoid getting hit by one of them. Their target, the red glowing core right in the middle of the chest area of the monstrosity but every time Ash and his friends even got a little closer to the glowing core, the core would get covered by ayer of thick ck tentacles that seem impossible to prate which would always lead to Ash and his friends being pushed back by the monstrosity. No matter what this group of exceptional trainers tried, it all seemed useless,bination attacks, simultaneous attacks, charged attacks, assisted attacks, they all failed in front of the monstrosity''s defense. And on top of this monstrosity stood a tall man with orange hair and beard who has an excited and maniacal look on his face, this man is none other than Lysandre who is controlling this weapon. Lysandre "HAHAHAHAHA, no matter what you do, you cannot win against my ultimate weapon, I didn''t want to use this weapon at all but I was forced to and now everyone will pay dearly, especially that man who owns the Kyurem, once I end his life, he will take control of his Kyurem and will be even more powerful. The world will be my oyster and me, its ruler! I will re-write everything, I am going to be the god of this world and make sure to create the perfect world where both pokemons and people are living perfectly in harmony" Lysandre gave a massive speech as he stood on top of the ck Zygarde made of the weird element, he believed that his weapon could even take on any legendary pokemon and kill it. Well, he has the right to be delusional because of seeing how effective his weapon is against a group of trainers that can put a whole region into a state of turmoil. While Lysandre was enjoying his power trip, two little green heads were looking at the power trip that Lysandre was having and they were discussing how to handle this situation. If they want they could easily destroy this abomination that Lysandre has created but they were debating if they should really do it, they wondered if it was worth the risk to save these humans who were the reason behind so many problems that their world was facing and as being the real guardian of this world, it was their duty to get rid of anything that could bring harm to it. These two little green heads are none other than the Zygarde cores that are currently sitting inside the blond little girl''s pouch who is traveling with Ash. One core didn''t see any reason to step up and save the humans while the other debated with it and tried to show it that all humanity is not bad and humanity has already stepped up and is preventing the corrosion of the world and is trying their best to recover it to its original state. The core which was against helping the humans was of course the one captured by Lysandre and used by him while the other was the one who spent traveling with Bonnie the blond little girl, Ash, and his other friends. One saw the absolute worse of humanity while the other saw how many good humans can do. After some discussion, the two Zygarde cores finally came to a conclusion and decided to save the humans but before they could they heard a voice inside their heads that stopped them. Chapter 1207: Julians Arrival Chapter 1207: Julian''s Arrival ''No need to take any action'' The two Zygarde core heard a voice inside their head, they knew who this voice belong to, this voice belong to another one of them who was with the human who controlled the Kyurem. When they first saw a human controlling Kyurem, they were very surprised as Kyurem just like them is a force of nature, though its strength has been reduced due to it being split into three parts, it is still a legendary pokemon and a protector of this world and for it to willing submit to a human is something the two Zygarde core couldn''t fathom. The Zygarde cores know the Kyurem very well, it knew Kyurem before it was even Kyurem, they had seen Kyurem as the original dragon whose strength surpasses even their 100% form, while Zygarde is the protector of this world and its task is to keep harmony and bnce in this world, the original Dragon was the sword, the eliminator, the one that was responsible for getting rid of threats from other worlds. But then the dragon decided to split itself into three beings dividing its powers and abandoning its role. ____________________ The two Zygarde cores were confused as to why the other part of them didn''t want them to help the humans. ''Why don''t you want to protect humans and eliminate the abomination in front of us?'' One of the Zygarde core asked curiously. ''No, it''s not that, let the human who is with me handle it'' The Zygarde core who is with Julian said. ''Can he handle it?'' ''Don''t worry about it, this human is special and he also doesn''t want us to show our true form, he fears that bringing our true form out would bring unwanted attention to us'' The Zygarde core with Julian exined. ''When is he going to be here?'' The Zygarde core with green patch asked as the abomination was getting close to Anistar city and it won''t be good if it happens. Lysandre''s goal is to get to Anistar city and use his weapon to absorb the sundial to make his weapon even more powerful, Lysandre has discovered that energy from mega stones powers up his weapon and this was the reason behind him collecting all those mega stones and keystones. And if he is able to absorb the sundial in Anistar city, his weapon will go more powerful and will turn into something that even the 100% Zygarde might not be able to handle. Cynthia who was at the very front of the battle was getting worried and is waiting for her love to step up and handle this, her Garchomp and Zoroark arepletely exhausted, even Ang who is assisting her in the battle had her Zoroark worked to the max. Ash and his friends suddenly got sted away as they tried to get close to the monstrosity to attack its core again but failed miserably. As things were getting dire and every trainer was pushed to their limit, a powerful burst of Ice Beam tore through the air causing the air in front of it to split before the Ice Beam even came in contact with it, the Ice Beam intercepted a tentacle that was making its way towards Ash and destroyed it. The tentacle made of stone shattered and scattered all over the battlefield. This, of course, caught the attention of everyone present on the barrennd. They lifted their head and looked in the direction from where the Ice Beam came from and they saw the legendary pokemon Kyurem in the air, and on top of this Kyurem stood a manpletely covered in ck. Seeing this man, a smile appeared on Cynthia''s and Ang''s faces, they knew who this person is even though he waspletely covered from head to toe, they don''t need to see his face to identify him. People present on the barrennd were surprised by the sudden appearance of this Kyurem who seems to be under the control of a trainer, and some of them felt that they have seen this person before and then they remembered about the disaster that happened in Hoenn and how this same figured showed up there to save the day. They now just hoped that this person will be able to stop Lysandre or the disaster that Lysandre is going to bring to Kalos would put Kalos in such a terrible state that it would never recover. __________________ Lysandre red angrily at the person on top of Kyurem, this man is the reason behind his failure, if this man had not gotten involved, he believed that his secret weapon would still be his hidden ace against other powerful organizations so he can catch them off guard. Now Lysandre wants to destroy this man and show the world that even a legendary pokemon won''t be able to stop him. Lysandre "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you, now I am going to destroy you and show the wor-" Before he could even finish his words Julian attacked again, Kyurem sted a powerful Ice Beam at the abomination, sensing the danger, the abomination brought all its tentacles to block the Ice Beam. The Ice Beam made contact with the first tentacle and shattered it before continuing further, after destroying three tentacles the Ice Beam lost its power and faded away. But there doesn''t seem to be much difference even though the three tentacles were destroyed, the abomination seems to be able to regrow its tentacles. Chapter 1208: Julian Vs Lysandre Chapter 1208: Julian Vs Lysandre Julian was very surprised by the durability of this weapon that Lysandre has created, he extended his omniforce towards the abomination, and what he found surprised him, the whole body of this abomination was made of the same meteor that was deep under Hoenn, the meteor that brought mega stones into this world. And from how this abomination is behaving, it is not sentient, its only function is moving forward towards Anistar city and protecting the core on its chest, it can also attack through instructions that Lysandre is feeding it through a device attached to Lysandre''s hand. After figuring out what is going on, Julian decided to end it, destroying this weapon won''t have any side effects, as for the explosion, Julian can easily contain it limiting the damage to a minimum. Lysandre "Hahahaha, did you witness the power of my creation, I am going to destroy you and take control of your Kyurem and rule this world with an iron fist, I should thank you right now for bringing me such a marvelous gift". Lysandre yelled andughed like a maniac, Julian frowned not because of hisment but because of how annoying he sounded to his ear. Julian "Clear the area, I will handle it from here" Julian said with a deep rough voice while looking at Cynthia and Diantha, Diantha looked at Cynthia to see if she agrees or not, they are the leaders here and their decision will be final. Cynthia nodded at Diantha telling her that they should evacuate the battlefield and let these two handle it. She knew that them being here would just hinder Julian and limit his attacks powers. Seeing that Cynthia wanted them to leave, Diantha didn''t argue, she talked to other trainers and quickly left the barrennd and decided to be the final line of defense in front of Anistar city. If Lysandre somehow manages to make it past the mysterious trainer, they will be the only hope for Kalos because there is no other force that canpare to them who can step up to bring down Lysandre. So the group decided to restore their energy so that they can prepare for the worst-case scenario if it happens. ___________________ Back in the barrennd, Julian on his Kyurem and Lysandre on his abomination are staring at each other waiting for the other to make a move. Lysandre "What happened, are you scared? You are frozen because you are scared, you know that you will lose and that is why you sent them away so you can run away like a little bitch but still keep your image intact, you wanted to show the world that you sacrificed yourself to protect Kalos. At the end of the day, you are just like others, fickle and fake, I will be doing the world a favor by getting rid of you and taking your Kyurem to myself" Lysandre continued to spew nonsense as Julian watched him as if he was an idiot who lost hismon sense, Julian wondered how did Lysandre evene up with all this bullshit that he is sweeping out. Now beingpletely fed up with Lysandre, Julian decided to end this. With everyone evacuating the barrennd he won''t have to hold back anymore. Julian "Use ciate" Julian ordered. Kyurem sted another powerful attack at the abomination. Lysandreughed at the pathetic attempt from his opponent and inputted something into the device in his hand, as soon as the input was done the abomination aimed its core at the iing attack and suddenly sted a powerful beam of red light at the iing ciate. The red beam made contact with the ciate andpletely engulfed the ciate and headed towards Kyurem without any resistance. Julian was surprised seeing this, he then ordered Kyurem to dodge the beam. Kyurem moved to the side and dodged the red beam of light which passed right by them and headed towards the sky and there seem to be no stopping this attack. Julian was presently surprised by the power behind this attack, topletely ignore Kyurem''s ciate showed how ridiculously powerful this abomination really is. Lysandre "Hahahaha, see that, you are nothingpared to my greatest creation". Lysandre continued tough and was already confident about his victory, he felt that he has already won and is just a step away from taking the world by storm and conquering it. Julian "You really are a clown". Julian voiced out his thought as he looked at the clown in front of him, listening to Julian''s words Lysandre felt really offended. Lysandre "How dare you? ANNIHILATE HIM!!!" Lysandre ordered his abomination to attack Julian again after inputting his instruction on the device in his hand, the abomination then charged up a powerful attack and sted multiple red beams at Kyurem, each red beam was as powerful as the previous one. Lysander wanted to destroy Julian, now he didn''t care even if he destroyed Kyurem along with Julian, seeing the barrage that ising toward him Julian decided to finally counter. Julian "Use Protect" Julian ordered. Kyurem created a massive barrier in front of him which blocked the iing beams, the red beams which made contact with the protective shield caused a sizzling sound as if they are trying to melt through the thick barrier and they were almost sessful. As the beams disappeared, one could see deep pits on the barrier, one could easily tell that these pits were the effect of something very hot melting through them. Lysandre frowned seeing that his attack still didn''t work but he didn''t give up, to create another barrier like that, the Kyurem will have to wait a little bit more before using it again, he can use this chance to take down the legendary pokemon and its user. Chapter 1209: The Original Dragon Chapter 1209: The Original Dragon While Lysandre was thinking about how to get rid of Julian, Julian was getting fed up by this, it was finally time to put this all to an end. Julian "You had enough time to shine, let me show you what I am capable of". Julian said and suddenly released arge amount of Omniforce from his body, this Omniforce started to swirl around Kyurem violently, a normal human or a pokemon couldn''t see or feel the difference in the atmosphere but a pokemon that has some contact with Omniforce can easily sense the chaotic fluctuation that was happening in the air. Kyurem roared and its roar was so loud that the whole of Kalos could hear it, Lysandre frowned as he didn''t know what was going on. Suddenly Kyurem started to change, its body got covered in bright colorful lights as Kyurem''s body continued to expand. Kyurem stood at 3.5 meters tall but after the light covered its whole body, its size continued to increase and kept on increasing until it reached 10 meters. One couldn''t make out the shave of Kyurem under the colorful light but, its shape was very intimidating, Lysandre started to get nervous as he didn''t know what was happening. Once Kyurem finally stopped growing, the colorful light slowly faded away and revealed the monster that was hiding beneath. A massive dragon standing 10 meters long, sharp knife-like features over its face and limbs, massive sharp ws, and huge glowing white wings that are almost as big as its body. *Picture here= Kyurem haspletely transformed and doesn''t look like itself at all, this looks like apletely different pokemon. If people from the past who have seen the original dragon of Unova saw it, they would recognize it very easily, this is the form of the real dragon before it split into three parts. Because the dormant energy inside Kyurem got stimted by Omniforce, Kyurem was able to reconstruct its original body with ease achieving the power it once had before splitting up into three. Kyurem being the odd one of the three with no association to yin and yang that Zekrom and Reshiram represents was able to ess the dormant energy inside it which the other two cannot. After splitting, Zekrom and Reshiram becamepletely different entities leaving behind the imperfect pokemon that was Kyurem, the only pokemon who still had ess to its previous powers but being the iplete version made it weakpared to the other two. But now with the help of Omniforce, Kyurem can ess the dormant energy inside it and achieve its true form once again, this is also the reason why Kyurem can fuse with its other counterparts to increase its energy while the other two can''t. Lysandre looked at the massive pokemon in front of him in shock and fear, he is a very knowledgeable person, he prides himself in knowing the history of the world and he also knew that the three legendary pokemons that are the legends of Unova came from a single pokemon and he suspects that the pokemon in front of him is that particr pokemon. And he is right to think so, this is the exact same pokemon that resided in Unova before splitting up, what he doesn''t know is that this pokemon is much stronger than its previous self because its true form is created from Omniforce. Lysandre "DESTROY IT!!!!!!!" Lysandre yelled while pointing at the original dragon and his abomination shot a very powerful red beam at it, this beam was way more powerful than before, one could easily tell that Lysandre used full power behind this attack. Julian "Use Blue re" Julian ordered. The original dragon opened its mouth wide open and sted a scorching hot blue-colored me at the iing red beam, as soon as the two moves made contact, the red beam gotpletely engulfed and removed from existence while Blue re continued to make its way towards the abomination. Lysandre panicked and moved his abomination to the side but it was already toote, the Blue re touched one half of the abomination''s body andpletely disintegrated it into nothingness. The abomination that looked at 50% Zygarde now looked as if someone took a very rough-edged de and cut it in half from top to bottom, luckily, the core in the middle of its chest was still intact. Lysandre was scared for his life, he looked at his creation and saw the damage it has received, he knew that Julian purposefully didn''t destroy his creation on his first try, if he did Lysandre would have also been disintegrated into nothingness. He looked at the Original Dragon with fear and confusion, he knows that Blue re is a move only the legendary pokemon Reshiram could use so he didn''t understand how could this pokemon even use it. What he doesn''t know is that not only can the Original Dragon use Blue re, it can also use Bolt Strike that only Zekrom can use, it can also use moves like Freeze Shock and Ice Burn that Kyurem would have had ess to if he fused with either Zekrom or Reshiram. Right now the Original Dragon that Julian is standing upon is the strongest legendary pokemon in this world, its power can easily rival even the avatars of Dialga and Palkia and even defeat them if the situation asks for it to do so. Lysandre has no chance of escaping. Julian "I told you before, you will not seed. Now it''s time to end it all. Use Freeze Shock" The Original Dragon opened its mouth wide open and created a massive ball of ice that had purple lightning pulsing around it, this massive ball of ice and lightning was then sent hurtling through the air at the abomination. Sensing the danger, Lysandre jumped off the abomination just before Freeze Shock could make contact, he didn''t want to die, he wants to survive. Chapter 1210: Destroying The Abomination Chapter 1210: Destroying The Abomination The massive boulder of ice surrounded by crackling purple lightning made its way towards the abomination, Lysandre jumped off the abomination to save himself. The massive ice boulder finally made contact with the abomination''s body, it was as if a meteor was crashing into the surface of the earth, the ice bolder just pushed through the abomination''s body causing cracks to spread all across its body and then shattering its whole body into thousand fragments. All these fragments went all over the ce as an iceyer formed around each of them while lightning crackled and disintegrated them into ashes inside their icyyer, now nothing was left behind but thick fragments of ice with ashes of the abomination''s body inside them. The explosion that took ce was so powerful that the shockwave from it traveled everywhere blowing away the clouds up in the sky along with them. Lysandre who jumped off his abomination also got caught in the explosion and was sent shooting through the air and crashing hard against the barren crackednd, his face along with his whole body got scraped by the hard rough ground causing his skin to peel off. Julian who is standing on top of the Original Dragon looked at the destruction it left behind, there is a massive crater right where the abomination stood, it looked like a massive meteor had smashed into the ground but this crater was not charred and red hot, it was covered with a thickyer of ice while lightning crackled all over the ice covering the crater''s surface. The air around the crater was cold going below 0 degrees Celsius, Julian didn''t expect the impact of this move would be so dangerous, he didn''t expect Kyurem would get such a massive power boost. Now even Julian didn''t know who would win a battle between his Infernape or his Kyurem''s Original Dragon form, Julian believes Infernape would have to go Primordial form to take on Kyurem''s Original Dragon form. Julian wanted to see them battle one day but this world won''t be able to contain the power these two have so Julian has to find some other way for them to let it loose. Julian "Down" Julian ordered the original dragon tond on the ground, the massive dragon pped its huge glowing wings andnded on the ground, just its foot touching the ground caused a small tremor to run through the battlefield. Once Kyuremnded, Julian jumped off its head from over 10 meters in height and did a superheronding, he then walked towards Lysandre who is still conscious but is unable to move his body because of the shock it suffered from the attack. Julian got right in front of him and squatted down right in front of Lysandre''s eyes so he can get a better look at Lysandre, Lysandre looked at the man in the demon mask in front of him and couldn''t help but disy fear in his eyes. His grand n was destroyed as if it was nothing, this man squatting in front of him was more dangerous than he expected and the power he holds is something beyond Lysandre''s imagination. Julian "Looks like it didn''t go as you expected". Julian mocked him as he looked at the miserable state that Lysandre is in right now. Lysandre "Please don''t kill me, I will give you everything you want, money, ess to the underworld, anything you want". Lysandre said. Julian "Oh, that''s disappointing, Gengar take him away and extract his memories'' Julian ordered and got up, he thought Lysandre would still continue to keep his entitled character even after the defeat but it looks like he folded very easily which disappointed Julian a lot. Lysandre was confused as to what Julian was going to him as he saw the man in demon mask just get up and walk away from him, suddenly he felt something grab his arms and legs, he felt as if his body was slowly being dragged into the ground itself, in panic he looked down to see a pair of crimson eyes looking right through his soul with a massive grin right below it. This sent chills down Lysandre''s spine as he felt fear like never before, he screamed but it was useless, no one could hear him, he waspletely dragged into the shadow realm by Gengar leaving Julian and his pokemons all alone on the barrennd. Julian then looked at Kyurem''s Original Dragon form and retrieved his Omniforce causing Kyurem to go back to his iplete form once again, he then walked towards the crater to look at something. As he stood right next to the crater, he could feel the coldness radiating from the crater as it was covered in a thickyer of ice. He covered himself in Omniforce and slid down the crater sliding right to the center of the crater where arge number of ice chunks were collected because of the shape of the crater, these ice chunks were the remaining parts of the abomination, most of its body has already been disintegrated and only the ashes remained inside these chuck of ice except a few and these few chunks of ice held a red glowing stone in them. These glowing stones are none other than the core that Julian noticed on the abomination''s chest, since this glowing stone was the thing powering the whole thing Julian wanted to make sure it doesn''t fall in the wrong hands. He collected all the red glowing stones and put them away and got out of the icy crater. He then got on Kyurem and headed towards Anistar city. Chapter 1211: Visiting Julio Chapter 1211: Visiting Julio Julian made his way towards Anistar city on top of Kyurem and when he got closer, he saw the group of trainers that were fighting the abomination before he arrived there, among these trainers Cynthia and Ang were also present. The trainers also saw the trainer in the demon mask riding the Kyurem, as soon as they saw him they took a huge breath of relief, his arrival meant only one thing and that is he won. Julian looked at them and didn''t even bother to stop and talk to them, he had to keep his image of the legendary trainer, as he flew over them, a ck portal opened and Lysandre fell right before these trainers'' legs. They all were surprised to see Lysandrepletely out cold in front of them, Officer Jenny who was with the group rushed in and handcuffed the unconscious Lysandre while others were still recovering from the shock, Cynthia just let out a chuckle seeing her fianc¨¦''s antics. _______________________ Julian returned to his house where he was greeted by Chloe and Daisy who looked a little worried, they had heard from Cynthia that Julian is taking on Lysandre all alone, even though they are confident in his strength, they cannot help but worry about him as they care more about him than anything in this world. Seeing that he came back unscathed they felt happy, they gave him a tight hug as they were relieved, having him here safe and the sound was the most important thing to them, they would rather let the world burn than see even a scratch on Julian. Julian spent the rest of the day with Chloe and Daisy while Cynthia was back at Anistar city handling all the mess that Lysandre had made, she also took Ang with her to get an extra helping hand. ______________________ It took a few days for Cynthia to finish all her work before she came back to their house and spent time with Julian, having dealt with almost everything Julian felt well-rested and decided to finally see Julio and see how the idiot is doing. With Cynthia''s order Julian got permission to meet Julio inside a private room where he wouldn''t be spied upon, Julian made his way towards the high-security prison here in Kalos overseen by the league. When he got there, he didn''t even have to show his identity as the guards have already been informed that Julian will be here to meet Julio, one of the guards weed him and guided him towards the room where Julio is kept. Julian was escorted very deep underground, this room was located so deep down underground that there was no source of natural lighting here, the corridor was lit up with soft green lights while Julian walked through this corridor with the guard leading him deeper and deeper to where Julio is being held. Julian looked around and saw many people locked behind thick ss, all these men and women looked extremely dangerous, each and every one of them also stared at Julian with curiousness as this is the first time they have seen a foreign face walking freely through this long corridor. Some of them even got very close to the ss wall and banged hard against the wall trying to intimidate Julian but he didn''t even bat an eye at them. "Don''t worry about them Mr. Julian, they won''t be able to get out even if they had ess to their pokemons". The guard reassured Julian and Julian just smiled at the guard, he didn''t bother to correct the guard that it wouldn''t have mattered anyway, if these criminals did somehow escape and tried to attack Julian, they would have made a massive mistake as Julian has another pair of eyes right under his feet and they are even more vicious than Julian. Seeing that Julian was not intimidated by their antics the few criminals lost interest, what they didn''t know was that they caught the interest of Julian''s Gengar who decided to have some fun with them. Every few meters of walking, Julian and the guard wille across a massive thick metallic door which will be opened after the guard does numerous biometric scans and swipes his id against the card reader next to these metallic doors. After passing through multiple simr doors, Julian was finally brought to thest room of the corridor, the guard did his biometric scans again to open the door of the room, unlike the other rooms this room waspletely blocked off and no one could see through from outside unlike the ones Julian saw before. He walked in and saw Julio lying on the bed with bandages all over his body, there is a young beautiful girl standing next to him who seems to be the nurse hired to take care of Julio. Julio seems to be lost as he was just staring at the ceiling, the nurse who was sitting on the sofa suddenly got up and stood straight as she saw the guard and a stranger walk in, she was informed that someone wasing to see the patient but she didn''t know who. She looked at the handsome tall man standing next to the guard and realized who it was, it was her idol, Julian, the man who lives in her heart. She can''t believe Julian is standing right in front of her. She wants to scream out of her lungs in excitement but she found the strength to stop herself and not embarrass herself in front of her idol. Chapter 1212: Extracting Memory Chapter 1212: Extracting Memory Julian didn''t care about the nurse that was trying her best to not scream, his focus was solely on the incapacitated Julio who seems to be lost in his own world. Julian "Guard, you can leave" Julian said. The guard nodded his head and walked out of the room and locked the door behind him, Julian walked towards the nurse and smiled at her. Julian "So how is his condition?" Julian asked. The nurse seems to be stunned as she didn''t suspect Julian to suddenly start a conversation with her, she jumped out of surprise and quickly collected her thoughts before answering. Nurse "He is doing fine and is conscious but sometimes he seems to be lost in his own thoughts and suffers from delusions, the doctor rmended a psychiatrist and he diagnosed the patients with Delusional disorder" She answered. Julian "Is he capable of answering questions?" Julian asked. Nurse "He should be able to but it is not guaranteed". She answered. Julian nodded his head and looked at Julio once again and then back at the nurse. Julian "Can you leave us alone for a few minutes?" Julian asked politely. The nurse nodded her head and left the room as well leaving Julian all alone with Julio, once the door was looked Julian looked around before approaching Julio, he pulled a chair closer to Julio''s bed and sat down right next to him. Julian "Gengar destroy any video or audio recording device in this room". Julian ordered. Gengar extended his influence and found a few hidden audio and video recording devices even though Cynthia had warned these people not to do it, they are just trying to lose their jobs by going against her words. Somewhere else in the prison inside a room filled with screens, a person standing over 6 feet tall with long dark hair looked at the tv screen with a frown as he saw Julian directly looking at the camera. It was as if Julian knew where the camera was hidden. suddenly the screen he was looking at burst into mes, every screen in the room short-circuited, this caused every person in the room a massive fright, they didn''t know how every screen in the room could just short circuit like that. The tall man''s frown got even deeper as he saw this, he felt that Julian was on to him. "Did he figure it out?" He asked in a low but strong tone to the person sitting in front of him. "No sir no one should know about it, only the people inside this room are aware of it". He answered. "Then how did he figure it out?" The tall man asked. "We don''t know sir". The subordinate said. "Pack up and leave the region, don''t get caught by the league". The tall man said and left the room, the other people inside the room also got busy and started to pack up everything before leaving as well. Back inside the room where Julio is kept, Julian put his attention back on Julio, he didn''t know who put these devices here inside this room but he will have a word with Cynthia and figure it out. Julian "Hey you look here" Julian called out Julio who is still staring at the ceiling, Julio who seem to be lost in his own thought turned his head towards Julian as he felt someone familiar was calling him, as he looked at the person sitting next to him, his pupils widened in fear as memories of past resurfaced. Julio "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". He suddenly started to scream out of his lungs and tried to break free from all the straps that have been shackling him onto the bed. Julio "GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU MONSTER GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!" He continued to shout but he couldn''t get anywhere, Julian just frowned as he didn''t know why Julio was acting like this, he didn''t do anything to Julio yet and he is alreadypletely lost. Seeing that Julio is not in a state to provide anything to Julian, Julian decided to extract what he wants from Julio. Jin "Gengar, extract his memory". Wanting to spend no time with Julio and dealing with his delusions Julian decided to be more direct with his approach, Gengar came out of Julian''s shadow and got very close to Julio. Julio was already afraid of Julian even though he didn''t do anything to him but now seeing a pokemon with a chilling ck body and scary crimson eyes has caused Julio to gopletely wild. He started to scream louder and tried to move away from Gengar but he was not sessful, Gengar put his hands on Julio''s head and started to assault Julio''s memory to dig everything from his memory. Julio suddenly stopped screaming as he fell into a trance, his eyes wentpletely white as Gengar extracted his memory. It only took a few minutes for Gengar to extract everything inside Julio''s head, once Gengar was done, Julio fell on the bed like a lifeless body, luckily Gengar didn''t kill him but Julio will be unconscious for a few hours. With things done here, Julian has no n to wait around, he has other things to do so he walked out of the room where he saw the young nurse standing there patiently, when she saw Julian walk out she quickly pulled out her phone and looked at Julian with stars in her eyes. Julian "What is it?" Julian asked with a smile at the nurse. Chapter 1213: Obstructing Selfies Chapter 1213: Obstructing Selfies Julian "What is it?" Julian asked with a smile at the nurse, Julian checked out the nurse in front of him and was please by her looks, she has a nice body with big breasts, wide hips, and the uniform she is wearing is very short. Julian didn''t give her any attention before because he was focused on the task at hand but now that things have been taken care of, he finally got a look at her and he won''t mind having some fun with this girl and seeing her reaction to him, he knows that she is all over him. The nurse looked at Julian with big eyes filled with admiration and anticipation, seeing his handsome face up close was a lethal strike to her heart, her heart is beating fast as she has been waiting for this moment for quite a while now She has been a fan of Julian for quite a while now, she became a fan when she first saw him in Hoenn league, unlike others she is really not a huge league fan, the reason for her being Julian''s fan is because of his looks and nothing else. Now seeing him up close, he is even more handsome than on TV, when she shows a photo of her with Julian they will freak out. Nurse "Can I have a selfie with you?" She asked. Julian carefully looked at the nurse and looked around and saw some cameras in the corridor. Julian "Sure but let''s go inside, I have an image to keep". Julian whispered to the nurse, the nurse was not surprised hearing this, it was very well known that Julian doesn''t like taking photos or doing interviews, so she was actually taking a huge gamble asking Julian for a selfie. She was surprised that Julian agreed to her request but she also understood that he doesn''t want anything to see him taking selfies with a fan. They both walked into the room while the nurse was quite excited, she looked around and her eyes fell on the couch as it has the best lighting, she wanted to look as good as Julian in the selfie. Nurse "Let''s take it over there on the couch" She said and rushed towards the couch, Julian followed her and sat down right next to her pressing her against the armrest of the couch. She blushed hard as she felt her body touching against Julian''s, loving the ident that happened she pulled out her phone and turned on her camera, and pressed her body against Julian''s as she wanted to take full advantage of her position. Her big breasts were pressing hard against his chest, seeing that the nurse didn''t shy away from taking advantage of him he decided to take advantage of her as well. He looked at her exposed soft thighs and wanted to feel them so he put his hand on them, feeling Julian''s hand on her thigh, the nurse tensed up but didn''t deny his advance, she felt his strong arm on her thigh which was slowly moving up towards her forbiddennd. Her eyes flickered and her heartbeat sped up, she felt really horny right now, just his touch was able to make her wet, she had never experienced anything like this before she never felt so horny. There has always been a rumor about Julian on the inte spread by a few women that imed to have slept with him and hey said that he did things they could never forget, he satisfied them like no one else could the rumors stated that he was a great lover and one would never forget the experience. Of course, since these people were behind their keyboards and they didn''t have any evidence to their im, they were just discarded as rumors by other people who didn''t like what they read, Julian has many types of fans and one of them includes the crazy fangirl type who would do anything to be even rted to Julian in some way and what they hate the most is someone else iming that they did something with Julian. When these ims surfaced, these crazy fans of Julian easily shut down these ims. The reason why she has knowledge about this is because she is one of those crazy fans, at first she didn''t believe these rumors but feeling how she felt right now, she is inclined to believe them. She even forgot to click her selfie even though her camera is on and facing them. Julian continued to smile at the camera as his hand went under her skirt while his other hand went around her waist very close to her breast. Julian "Are you not going to take the picture?" Julian asked. The nurse was taken back by this and was about to click the picture when she suddenly felt Julian''s hand touch her pussy. She got startled and clicked the picture but it came out blurry. Julian "Oh, it looks like it didn''te out properly why don''t you give it another go" Julian said with a smile while the nurse just blushed and nodded her head, she was about to click the picture again but Julian pressed on her pussy again making the nurse moan, because of this she messed up her picture again Julian "Looks look too stiff, that is why you are not able to take a selfie, let me help you loosen up a little bit" Julian said and put his hand over her breast and gave it a nice squeeze, the nurse moaned again as Julian unbuttoned her tight shirt revealing the two melons inside. Seeing those soft white peeks bounce, Julian knew he is going to have some delicious time with this cute beautiful nurse. Chapter 1214: The Slutty Nurse (18+) Chapter 1214: The Slutty Nurse (18+) With her tight shirt opened up, the nurse''s bouncy beautiful breasts were finally free and bouncing, Julian couldn''t help but admire them while giving them a tight squeeze. Feeling intense pleasure on her breasts, the nurse was having a hard time taking the selfie that she wanted, having her breast squeezed and yed with by someone she is massively attracted to and who also seems to be very good at it, she couldn''t focus on the task at hand Her mind waspletely off as she tried to keep her voice low to not wake the patient who seems to be sleeping soundly. Julian smirked seeing the nurse''s reaction, he was enjoying teasing her right now. Julian "What happened? Are you not going to take the picture?" Julian whispered into her ear as he squeezed her nipple, the nurse bit her lip and moaned in pleasure. Nurse "I... I am just having a hard time taking the picture". She said. She understood that it was in her best interest to y it dumb and continued to ignore his hands on her breasts and thighs. Julian "I see, let me help you with that". Julian said and took the phone from her hand and faced it towards them, as he was about to click the picture, his other hand which was on her thigh went up into the forbidden zone and pressed on her pussy, as soon as he did this the nurse felt a tingling sensation running through her body causing her to flinch. Julian clicked the selfie and checked it right in front of her. Julian "Oh, look at this, you closed your eyes! Let me take it again". Julian said with a smirk and inserted his finger inside her pussy without any warning, her pussy provided no resistance as it was soaking wet, as soon as his finger entered her, she clenched her pussy hard as she could on reflex as the electricity ran through her body as her whole body quivered. Julian clicked the photo again and as result, the photo came out blurry again. Julian "Not again, you are really bad at taking selfies, what should we do?" Julian asked. The nurse looked at Julian while biting her lips and wanting to speak and answer him but Julian''s fingers are working wonders inside her pussy, she let out another moan as Julian pressed on her g-spot causing her body to quiver from pleasure again. Julian "Looks like you are the shy type huh? How about we take a video, it''s much better than taking blurry photos". Julian said and turned on the rear camera and started to film the nurse''s expression, her face was blushing red while her eyes were turning moist from pleasure. Julian continued to record her face as he sped up his fingers, the nurse''s body jolted and she let out a loud moan, her body started to violently shake as she experienced an awesome orgasm. Julian "You are really good at expressions, see the faces you are making". Julian continued to tease her as he felt his handpletely being drenched in her fluids. Julian "Get down, I want to film you from above". Julian said. The girl nodded and got on her knees on the floor right in front of Julian and started unzipping his pants, Julian didn''t stop her and continued to film her. The nurse was quite nervous as Julian had technically didn''t tell her to remove his pants but seeing that he has no objection to it, she continued. She unzipped his pants and took out the sleeping giant from under. She grabbed the leviathan in her hand and gasped by looking at its size, she lifted her head to look up at Julian and saw him recording her, she got very nervous as she has suddenly found herself filming a sex tape with her idol and she doesn''t know how it will impact her. Seeing that Julian has nothing to say to her, she knew that she has to do all the work herself, she opened her mouth wide open and started sucking on his dick, her sloppy mouth went up and down his dick, and just from the feeling that Julian was getting, he knew that this girl who is sucking his dick is an experienced one. The nurse started to get in a rhythm and Julian''s dick was hitting the back of her throat but she had no gag reflex reflecting that she is really experienced and had taken some big dick inside her mouth. Seeing how experienced the nurse is, Julian thought that she can take a little more so he grabbed the back of her head and pushed his dick deep down her throat and she took it all in like a champ. His big dick spread her throat wide open as it could be seen from outside, the nurse rolled her eyes over as she found it difficult breathing having such a massive dick inside down her throat. Though she was having a hard time breathing, she didn''t stop, she continued to deep throat his dick, Julian didn''t even have to hold her head, she was doing everything on her own. Julian only had to worry about recording her sucking his dick properly. Chapter 1215: Filming The Nurse (18+) Chapter 1215: Filming The Nurse (18+) The nurse didn''t stop sucking, her mouth worked wonders on Julian''s dick and she was putting extra effort into it because she wants to impress Julian. After a few minutes of sucking his dick, Julian grabbed the back of her head again and started to speed it up, her mouth got used like a fleshlight, the sound of his dick going in and out of her sloppy mouth and throat could be heard all over the room. He then released all his stored up cum in her mouth, it came out in such force that some of it shot out of her nose. And since Julian was recording everything on her phone, the slutty face could not go unrecorded. Julian was loving this, he pulled out his dick from her mouth as she continued to lick and clean it, she then used her tongue and licked off the dripping cuming out of her nose and around her mouth. Julian "That was a really good performance, you should be an actor but the show is not over, get your ass over here". Julian said and tapping the couch, the nurse nodded her head and got up licking her fingers, sheid down on the couch and spread her legs for Julian as he continued to film her. Julian pointed the camera right between the nurse''s legs, through the camera Julian could see her pink wet underwear that is stained with her own pussy fluids, Julian used his other hand to spread her legs a little more to expose her beautiful cunt to the camera, he even got the close up of her underwear as he rubbed her pussy over her underwear. Her moans were also being recorded but right now that is not the focus, after rubbing her pussy and making her pink underwearpletely drenched with her own pussy juice he moved her underwear to the side to expose her pussy to the camera. A very good-looking pussy, it didn''t look too worn out so it would be a good pussy to fuck, Julian rubbed her clit and started to y with it, he also used his remaining fingers and dug them deep into her pussy. The speed of his hand increased along with her moans, fluids started to fly out of her pussy as the sound of sshing filled the room, her pussy was like a dam, flooding out pussy juice like water. The nurse''s body shook violently as she moaned as loud as she could while she experienced a mind-blowing orgasm. Julian "That was a very nice water fountain but it seems a little leaky it needs a pipe fix". Julian said and brought his dick close to her pussy and started rubbing it, the nurse tensed up as she felt his dick on her pussy, she closed her eyes and waited for Julian to plow her but even after a few seconds there was no action from Julian She opened her eyes and looked at him with a questioning look, she didn''t know why Julian wasn''t fucking her with his massive dick Julian "How can I fix your water problem without you asking me to do it". The nurse realized that Julian wanted and bit her lip Nurse "Sir, can you please fix my water flow, it''s very leaky right now, I would really appreciate it". She said. Every word she said was recorded on her phone and her words made it more exciting, hearing her words Julian didn''t wait for any second before thrusting his dick inside her slippery pussy. Even though his dick is very big, because of how wet she was, she took the whole thing in and since her pussy was not worn out, it was quite tight Julian felt his dick being squeezed by her pussy and it felt good so he started pounding her as hard as he could, the nurse started to moan and with every thrust, it got louder and louder, never had she ever felt like this before. She felt her inside getting ravaged while Julian''s big dick mmed into her womb, her pussy kept spewing out liquids as if there was no end to it. Nurse "OH MY GOD~, IT FEELS SOOOO GOOD, FUCK ME~ MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~". She screamed out of her lungs as she felt pleasure spreading all over her body. Julian continued to film her, he filmed his big dick spreading and pounding her pussy as it went in and out of her while also causing her pussy to spew out more pussy fluids, he also filmed her boobs bouncing up and down violently as she was being pounded very hard. The sound of Julian''s ball pping her ass echoed alongside her moans, he also filmed her face and the expression she was making, her eyespletely zed and rolled over and her tongue handing out of her mouth. Her hands gripped hard into the fabric of the couch as her body was reacting without her control, the pleasure was too much for her, this is the first time someone has made her feel like this, all those posts about Julian being an amazing lover floated in her mind as she felt his dick inside her. But right now she is too engulfed in pleasure that she doesn''t care about those posts, the only thing in her mind right now is to enjoy this moment. Julian fucked her for a whole half an hour, even though it was not his usual routine as he likes to go for hours, he didn''t want to break this nurse as he has no use for her, she has already orgasmed five times and anymore, she will break. He increased his speed and grunted in pleasure as he released a massive load inside her pussy, his cum mixed with her pussy juice spurted out from the side as he pulled out his dick from her. Once his dick was out, her pussy kept pulsing as more cum flowed out of her like a waterfall, the nurse is breathing hard and her face ispletely flushed, she can''t even think properly as she is still experiencing her orgasm. Julian "You should really do acting, you are a good actor". Julian said and ended recording the video and sent it to his phone, he then looked at the nurse and wondered if he should leave this video in there, since he didn''t have his face in the video, it really didn''t affect him at all, the only thing was his voice and that could be easily altered. Julian [System, change the sound of my voice in this video]. With just one order, the voice in the videopletely changed, his voice sounded deep and it had a local Kalos ent to it so no one would suspect it to be Julian, once he was done, he put the phone on top of the nurse''s breast and left. He let the nurse keep the video as she can watch it and pleasure herself whenever she wants, what he didn''t know was that the advice he gave her, to be an actress, she would take it very seriously. She is going to be a very famous person in the future. Chapter 1216: Memories Chapter 1216: Memories Julian walked out of the room tidying up his clothes leaving the nurse all alone with the unconscious Julio. The nurse is still trying to get her mind back to a working state from all the pounding, she will need a few minutes toe back from what she experienced but luckily for her, no one will disturb her for a while. Julian walked towards the first gate of the corridor where he found the guard who escorted him here waiting patiently for him, seeing that Julian was back, the guard opened the door and started escorting Julian out of the prison. On his way out, Julian looked at the prisoners who were making faces at him before but now each and every one of them looked terrified and curled up into a corner calling for their mommy, Julian sighed as he knew who the culprit was. Meanwhile, Gengar who was in Julian''s shadow was giggling while looking at his work. The guard was also very confused as to what happened here, these people are the most dangerous people in the region and now each and everyone is cowering in fear, the guard wanted to stop and check on them but he decided to escort Julian out before doing it. Once outside the prison, Julian bid his farewell to the guard and headed towards the closest forest, when he got there he found a nice ce to rest and released all his pokemons so they can move and y around while Julian digests all the information that he has extracted from both Lysandre and Julio. He asked Gengar to transfer all the information to him, Gengar did as he ordered and connected his consciousness to Julian and transferred everything he extracted from Lysandre and Julio into Julian''s mind. After he was done, Julian let Gengar join the other pokemons and have fun with them while he goes through the information. As his mind filled with information he was looking for, he was presently surprised, the things he got to know from Julio''s memory were mind-blowing, where he came from, why he is the way he is, and what was his real objective. First, he found out that Julio is a product of the underworld, seeing it was the underworld, Julian got annoyed, he didn''t know who these people are but if he everes across them, he is going to rip them of their roots andpletely erase them. Julian has already heard a lot about them from both the league and Cynthia so he doesn''t have any good impression of the underworld. From Julio''s memory, he learned that he was picked up by the league and promised power and riches and instead he is willing to be their test subject, what Julio failed to notice was that throughout the testing phase, they were slowly turning Julio insane, they were brainwashing him and teaching him how to battle like Julian. This brainwashing got so intense that Julio even forgot who he was before and wanted nothing but to be Julian, rece him. At first, Julian felt very weird seeing how obsessed Julio was regarding him but it didn''t take a genius to figure out that Julio was not the me at all, he was just an average man who was fed up with life so he took a huge risk and handed over his life to the underworld and they took full advantage of him. They brainwashed him to forget who he was and then nted apletely different personality into Julio, the experiments that these people ran on Julio turned him insane, the amount of torture he went through was unnecessary, even though Julian had tried to put his hands on his fianc¨¦e, Julian pitied the man a little. He gave up his life just for the promise of a better life, to Julian nothing was worth more than one''s life, Julio should have never taken that offer and he would have been living a better life. But what''s done has been done and Julio is permanently bedridden and mentally disabled because of his choice, but that didn''t concern Julian, Julio is just another idiot who came to disrupt his peaceful life and got rekt, what he was more concerned about was what else he found from Julio''s memory. He was not the only one, from Julio''s memory Julian found out that the underworld is trying to replicate him, they want their brainwashed people to battle like Julian, why? Julio didn''t know. At the end of the day, Julio was just a tool sent here to Kalos to battle Julian and test out how effective he is with everything they put into him. This angered Julian, did it have to be him? Couldn''t these people find someone else to program? Julian didn''t know how many victims the underworld had but one day, he will put an end to this organization, after finding almost nothing about the underworld from Julio, Julian was very disappointed. So he decided to look into the experimented pokemon that Julio used in the league and he was presently surprised by what he found. Chapter 1217: More Information Chapter 1217: More Information The first thing he learned about these experimented pokemons are called Shadow Pokemons and to his surprise, the underworld is not the ones who created them, it was another evil organization but Julio doesn''t seem to know anything about them other than them being supported and funded by the underworld. Julian also learned about the Shadow Volcanion and why it was different from the Shadow Snox, the reason why Julio couldn''t control it is that it was a failed experiment, whoever are the ones behind these shadow pokemons captured the Volcanion and experimented on it to turn it into a shadow pokemon but they miserably failed. Those people were sessfully able to turn a normal pokemon into a shadow pokemon and they wanted to upgrade and turn mythical and second-rate legendary pokemon into shadow pokemons and Volcanion was their first try at it. And with the miserable failure that took ce with the experiment, they gave the Volcanion to the underworld, the underworld then gave the uncontroble Shadow Volcanion to Julio so he can use it as a distraction for his escape if he somehow finds himself cornered by people he cannot defeat. The underworld had warned Julio to not use this Volcanion in a pokemon battle but this idiot went and did it anyway, causing the destruction of the grand stadium. But that was all, he couldn''t find anything else that would help him turn the Volcanion back to its normal state. Julian wants to find a way and help the pokemon who is clearly in so much pain, through the rage and barbaric nature, Julian could see the pain in Volcanion''s eyes and he wants to get rid of it. Julian wanted to know more about this organization that is behind the creation of Shadow Pokemons but he couldn''t find anything, he wasted his time trying to visit Julio and learn things from him, at least he got some information and got to fuck a beautiful girl. Now that he knows everything from Julio, he focused on the memory of Lysandre. As he started to go through the memories of Lysandre he was pleasantly surprised by what he found in Lysandre''s mind. What information he couldn''t get from Julio''s memory, he got it from Lysandre, Lysandre knew the existence of this organization and what they are called, this organization''s name is Cipher but Lysandre has no idea where they are situation but he knows what they are up to. He knew about their existence as the whole underworld is talking about them and Lysandre was once a part of the Underworld as well so he heard a lot about them from his connections, he also learned about their project is the shadow project, this organization called Cipher are turning normal pokemons into shadow pokemons, turning pokemons with consciousness to mindless weapons for use Since Lysandre didn''t share any ideology with them, he didn''t believe in their cause but he kept an eye on them because he considered them a threat, with his connections, he found out that Cipher wanted to turn mythical and second rate legendary pokemons into shadow pokemons but they miserably failed. Lysandre found out that after their failure with Volcanion they tried to turn a Celebi and a Shaymin into shadow pokemons but they once again faced failure, Cipher realized that they need to figure out how to turn these strong legendary pokemons into shadow pokemon and for that they need to do more experiments but they need specimens that are stronger than a normal pokemon but is weaker than second rate legendary pokemon Pseudo legendary pokemons are also out of options because they are as strong as these legendary pokemons. But they did give it a try, they captured a powerful Goodra and tried to turn it but failed miserably, seeing no sess, they tried to turn a young pseudo legendary pokemons that have not reached maturity yet or are just juveniles, but during the process, they killed all their specimens. This forced Cipher to only focus on fully matured pokemons as young pokemons exposed to these experiments just die. All these setbacks caused Cipher to look for other options and Lysandre found what they are nning to do, Cipher''s target is Aloha, a region made of four natural inds and one artificial one. The reason they have their eyes set on Aloha is because of the special pokemons that live there called Totem Pokemons, these pokemons are pokemons of the normal species but because of the geography, they grow exceptionally big and are way more powerfulpared to pokemons of the same age and species. These Totem Pokemons are the perfect specimens for Cipher to experiment on and gradually move on legendary pokemons. After going through everything from Lysandre''s memories, Julian frowned. The methods that Cipher used were cruel and something Julian despised, his eyes turned cold as he decided to obliterate Cipher and remove it from the face of this. Since Lysandre has no idea where their base is, Julian will have to figure it out himself, and to do that he needs to go to Al. He has already decided, he will go to Al, hunt down Cipher and then get rid of them. Chapter 1218: On The Yacht (18+) Chapter 1218: On The Yacht (18+) With his future ns set in motion, he returned back to his home and spent the rest of the day with his fianc¨¦es, he also informed Cynthia about what he learned from Julian, Cynthia was very surprised by what she learned. She then immediately contacted the league and informed them about the existence of Cipher and then being the reason behind the shadow pokemons. The league is quite worried about these shadow pokemons as they have witnessed what they could aplish. If an army of shadow pokemons appears, they will be unstoppable because of their ability topletely ignore the pain. Julian also told his fianc¨¦es that he will be going to Al next as he needs to find the people responsible behind the shadow pokemons, even though they were a little sad that they couldn''t spend more time with Julian, they still have a lot of time till he leaves. He spent a few days in Kalos and then returned to Kanto with his fianc¨¦es, they wanted to go back to their real home, the one in Kanto, and spend some time with Julian. Aftering back to Kanto, Julian decided to visit his private ind as he wanted to see how his other pokemons are doing, he got on his private yacht with his fianc¨¦es and headed towards his ind, he has had Ang and the four team-re admins who have now converted and are working with the Omni guardians. These five are here to serve Julian and his three fianc¨¦es and fulfill all their needs. The yacht that is traveling through the empty ocean could be seen pacing all alone with nothing surrounding it but the vast ocean, if one were close to the yacht, one could hear several moansing from the yacht. Zoom in towards the yacht and one could see several people resting close to a pool, there are 8 girls and 1 guy, the guy being, of course, Julian and the girls being his fianc¨¦es and his servants. Julian is sitting in a poolside lounger with Ang around his arm while his dick is being sucked by Mable, Ang ispletely naked next to him as her breasts are pressed hard against his chest, she is also rubbing her pussy while watching Mable sucking his dick. Opposite to them are more chairs and on top of those chairsy his fianc¨¦es with their legs wide open and the remaining members of the former team-re admins eating their pussy. While Daisy and Cynthia were quiteid back as they enjoyed the service from the former admins, Chloe was very active, she has her hands behind Aliana''s head and pressing her mouth against her pussy, she is also actively moving her hips and smothering her pussy on Aliana''s face. Chloe "Yes~ just like that, you are such a good slut, keep doing it like that and you might earn my darling''s cock". Chloe voiced out while moaning as she was enjoying the experience, she had always wanted to y around with one of Julian''s servants and she finally has a chance, and she is taking full advantage of it. Julian heard her words and couldn''t help but think from where Chloe got this habit of domination, he knows that Chloe has tendencies of domination but she never disyed it with him but seeing it right in front of him was something new and it turned him on Seeing his fianc¨¦e use one of his servants turned him on. Aliana who was eating Chloe''s pussy started to put more effort into it as she heard the reward of pleasing Chloe will be Julian''s dick, she was really jealous when Julian chose Mable to suck his dick but now she has a chance to be with him. Feeling the increased effort from Aliana made Chloe feel really good as her pussy started to water up even more. Chloe "Oh dear~ Look at you~ mffnnn~ giving your best to get the taste of my darling''s dick, you are such a good slut". Chloe said and pressed Aliana''s head harder against her pussy, Chloe started to moan louder while Aliana was having trouble breathing but she persevered, Chloe''s body started to quiver as she have a pleasureful orgasm, her pussy started to squirt all over Aliana''s face. Aliana just opened her mouth and drank every drop of Chloe''s fluids that fell inside her mouth, Chloe revealed a big smile on her face and raised her head and looked at Aliana, she enjoyed the view of Aliana''s wet face. Chloe "Come here". She said and grabbed Aliana''s chin and pulled her closer and gave her a kiss. She then raised her head and looked at Julian who has his eyes closed, Angying next to him naked while massaging his shoulder, and the blue-haired girl sucking his dick, her fianc¨¦ was enjoying his time. Seeing him like this turned her on. Chloe "Darling, can I have this one for myself?" Chloe asked. Julian opened his eyes and looked at Chloe and saw her holding on to Aliana, Julian sighed seeing Chloe''s antiques. Julian "Sorry but you can''t, she needs to return to her work in a few days, you only have a few days so make sure to do whatever in these few days". Julian said. Chloe "Hehe, too bad, I would love to have my own obedient servant but whatever, I can still have her all for myself" She said with a smile and kissed Aliana again, Daisy and Cynthia were also watching Chloe''s antiques and even though they were not as straightforward as Chloe, they wouldn''t mind having their own servant to fool around for a few days. Daisy and Cynthia were also having their pussy licked but they wanted something more, they looked at each other and came up with the same conclusion. Cynthia "You two y with each other". Cynthia ordered Bryony and Celosia to y with each other, the two of them stopped licking Cynthia''s and Daisy''s pussy and looked at each other, they got to their feet and got close to the other, once they were close enough they started kissing each other. Bryony and Celosia used their tongue and fought the battle of dominance inside their mouth, they also used their hands to grab each other''s asscheeks and squeezed them, after kissing for a few seconds, Celosia won the battle of tongues and put all her weight on top of Bryony and since she is a little bit taller, she was easily able to dominate Bryony. Celosia took Bryony to the ground putting all her weight on her while continuing to kiss her, Celosia then used her free hand and started to stroke Bryony''s pussy, Bryony let out a muffled moan as she was being kissed viciously by Celosia. Seeing herself getting owned Bryony decided to fight back, using her own free hand, she put it over Celosia''s back and grabbed her ass before using her finger and inserting it right inside Celosia''s butthole, this took Celosia by surprise and she stopped kissing Bryony, Celosia let out a soft moan as she felt her whole body tingle because of the finger in her ass. Watching the two y with each other was an exciting view, not only Daisy and Cynthia but Chloe and Julian were also watching them y with each other. Chloe got really wet seeing this and looked at Aliana. Chloe "Slut, what are you waiting for, continue licking my pussy and also use your fingers". Chloe ordered. Aliana "Yes mistress" Aliana said and nodded her head before going down on Chloe again, she also used her two fingers and inserted them inside Chloe''s pussy, and started stimting her g-spot from inside. Chloe "Oh~ this is so exciting". Chloe voiced out as she watched Bryony and Celosia make out while ying with their genitals. Chapter 1219: One The Yacht 2 (18+) Chapter 1219: One The Yacht 2 (18+) Now that Daisy and Cynthia were free, they got off their chairs and made their way toward Julian, once they got next to him, they looked at Mable who is still sucking his dick without a care for the world, she is enjoying her time gagging on his big dick. Daisy "Mable, you also go and join them". Daisy ordered, Mable stopped sucking Julian and looked at the mistresses and then looked at Julian, Julian signaled her to join the other two. Mable got on her feet and walked toward Bryony and Celosia. Daisy looked the Ang who isying next to Julian and massaging his shoulder and decided to rece her. Daisy "Ang, you suck darling''s penis". Ang excitedly got up and got on her knees right in front of Julian''s dick and started sucking on him, Cynthia and Daisy then took this chance toy next to him. Julian smiled and wrapped his hands around his two beautiful fianc¨¦es and squeezed their breasts, one hand has Daisy''s above-average size breasts while his other hand held Cynthia''s average size breasts. Both of them moaned as they felt Julian''s strong hands, Ang also started to speed up her pace and started to take Julian''s whole dick down her throat, the sound of her sloppy mouth going up and down his big dick excited Daisy and Cynthia as they continued to shift their attention from Ang to the three admin girls who are ying with each other. Chloe who is on the opposite side is also doing the same as she watched how Ang was going down on her fianc¨¦''s dick. She then watched Mable make her way toward the two admin girls who are ying with each other''s genitals while kissing each other. Mable went behind Celosia andid down t on her stomach right in front of Celosia''s and Bryony''s pussy, she watched with interest as Celosia stroked Bryony''s pussy while Bryony''s finger went in and out of Celosia''s asshole. Mable started to rub her pussy by herself and got very close to Celosia''s pussy and started to lick it, Celosia moaned out loud as she felt her pussy being licked, she turned her head and saw Mable licking her pussy. Because of the stimtion she received, she increased the speed of her hand on Bryony''s pussy and because of this Bryony also increased the speed of her finger inside Celosia''s asshole. Mable bit on Celosia''s clit softly and yed with it by using the tip of her tongue causing Celosia to moan uncontrobly, her whole body quivered as both her pussy and asshole were getting stimted, and with a violent jolt she started to squirt all over Mable''s face. Celosia "~AANNNNGGGGNNNNNNNNNNNN~" Celosia moaned out loud and rolled over to the side and started breathing heavily, she waspletely out as she felt pleasure running through her whole body, seeing that Celosia was out, Mable stepped it and crossed her leg against Bryony''s and brought their pussy together, once their pussy touched Mable and Bryony started scissoring aggressively. Mable put her arm around Bryony''s neck and brought her in for a steamy kiss as they continued to scissor and moan in pleasure. Daisy "They look so hot together" Daisy said while watching Mable and Bryony scissor each other. Cynthia "Indeed, I never thought I would get horny seeing two girls y with each other" Cynthia said and bit her lip. Daisy "It''s all Chloe''s fault, she corrupted her with her words". Daisy said and pouted. Chloe who heard this was surprised. Chloe "Hey, don''t drag me in this, I may be a little open about this stuff but that doesn''t mean I influenced you girls. You two are as depraved as me, it''s just that you both just like to y innocent in front of darling". Chloe said while giving an annoyed look to Daisy and Cynthia, she couldn''t believe how these two just threw her under the bus just to look innocent in front of Julian, if Julian was not here these two would have done everything Chloe was doing. Julian "Oh, is it true, my two little innocent fianc¨¦es are actually secret perverts?" Julian teased them and brought his hands down towards their exposed pussy and started stroking them, both Cynthia and Daisy tensed up as they felt Julian''s electrifying fingers on their pussy, no matter how many times they experienced it, they never got tired of it. They both bit their lips and closed their eyes as their body jerked in pleasure. Julian "Now, now, don''t go silent on me, I asked a question, if you don''t answer I will stop". Julian continued to tease them. Daisy "No don''t, we confess, we are as perverted as Chloe" Daisy gave up very easily, it didn''t even take her a second before falling under the temptation of Julian''s fingers. Cynthia couldn''tst either as she also confessed to Julian Cynthia "Yes, we are perverts, please don''t stop". Cynthia voiced out her words. Julian just smirked and increased the speed of his strokes on their pussy, just a few minutes and both of them experienced a powerful orgasm thatpletely drenched Ang''s face who is still licking and sucking Julian''s dick, now mixed with the vor of her two mistresses, Ang became more active. Chloe giggled seeing how easily Julian conquered Daisy and Cynthia and forced them to confess. With the extra effort put by Ang, Julian soon came deep inside Ang''s throat, she didn''t waste a drop and swallowed everything with a big satisfied smile on her face. Julian continued the journey towards his private ind with his girls filled with entertainment, love, and a lot of sex. Chloe took her role as a mistress very seriously and ordered around the five servants a lot, she loved tying them up and using her sex toys on them. She liked being a dominatrix with them, she would use straps, whips, dildos, vibrators, gag balls, and every other sex toy Chloe could get her hands on. Julian would also join Chloe and fuck his servants while they are gagged and tied up alongside Chloe, Daisy and Cynthia also joined them sometimes but the two liked to watch it more than participate. At the end of their journey towards Julian''s private ind, the nine of them smelled like sex, luckily there is a shower in the luxury yacht so they didn''t stink when they got off the yacht and stepped on the ind. Chapter 1220: Returning To The Island Chapter 1220: Returning To The Ind As the yacht got close to his private ind, the water in front of the yacht suddenly started to rise up, Julian''s servants when they saw this started to panic and took out their Pokeball ready to battle. As the water started to fall back into the ocean, it revealed gigantic red Gyarados that stood over 15 meters tall, this Gyarados also have a forehead te made of tungsten which has a lot of bumps and dents indicating that the te has been bashed and hit multiple times. This Gyarados is, of course, Julian''s own, as soon as Gyarados sensed Julian, he rushed towards Julian''s direction and came out of the water, as soon as he saw Julian on the yacht Gyarados got very excited and roared up in the sky causing a kilometer of water surface around him to ripple. Julian''s servants were scared out of their minds when they saw the massive Gyarados, they have never seen anything like this before, seeing the Gyarados approaching the yacht they started to panic but they couldn''t do anything but wait for Julian to give them an order. Seeing how calm Julian was in this situation helped them a little to stay calm as well, but as the Gyarados started to get closer and closer, their heart started to beat faster. Right now the massive Gyarados ispletely overshadowing the massive luxury yacht, it lowered its head towards the deck where Julian is standing and when it got close to Julian, it smiled and started to rub its head on Julian''s hand. Julian also smiled seeing his Gyarados, it has been quite a while since he has seen his personal giant, his servants were first dumbfounded but they soon realized that the Gyarados belongs to their master and there is nothing to worry about, so they all took a huge breath of relief and continued to look around to see if there is anything else around. While Gyarados was being affectionate to Julian, another water pir rose right next to Gyarados, though not as big as the one he created but still pretty big, the pokemon that emerged was his Milotic, she still looks as elegant and beautiful as ever. She has also grown a lot and is now 10 meters tall, Milotic also approached Julian and happily rubbed her head against his body telling him about how much she missed him. Julian couldn''t help but smile seeing his giants act like little kids in front of him, the yacht continued to move forward and finally stopped on the shore. When he walked down the yacht with his fianc¨¦es he was greeted by the old butler he had hired to take care of everything here on the ind. Butler "Master Julian, Madams, you all have arrived, please follow me". The butler looked at Julian and then at his fianc¨¦es and escorted them towards his ind residence where he will be staying, his servants also followed behind and carefully looked around. Since this ind is filled with lush jungle, it felt like they are going through a rainforest, luckily they don''t have to walk as there are several ATVs that can be used as a ride towards the residence, on their way to the residence Julian saw many wild pokemons that seem to have made his ind their home and these pokemons were curiously looking at him. Throughout their time here, they have only seen a few humans on this ind and these humans only interact with the kings of the ind, so these wild pokemons started to wonder who these new faces are. Julian and the others reached his residence and it looked just like how he left it in the butler''s hand, it looks like the butler really did a very good job of maintaining such a massive property. Julian "You did great work Ronald, you should take a break and go back to Kanto, I will be staying here for a week, I will call you when I decide to leave". Butler "As you wish Master Julian". The butler said and decided to leave without making any fuss, once the butler left Julian looked at his servants and told them to prepare everything for their stay here for a few days. The servants got to work while Julian made his way towards the massive waterfall that is situated on the ind, this ind is very big and it has every possible habitat for his pokemons, from a dormant volcano to a massive waterfall or from a huge grasnd to a big sandy area. When he arrived at the waterfall he was suddenly swarmed by multiple pokemons and they are none other than his, as soon as they smelled the scent of Julian, they got alerted, and all of them rushed here to meet him. Soon the massive waterfall was packed with pokemons that are strong enough to destroy the whole world if theybined their might and all of them lived on this ind. Once all his pokemons were here, he took out his other pokeballs and released his new pokemons so they can bond with his old pokemons. At first, his Kalos pokemons were quite intimidated by just the sheer pressure in the area radiating from all the pokemons present here but they quickly adapted as they found out all of these are Julian''s pokemons. The feeling of being weak never felt good for any of Julian''s pokemons but now the pressure on them to get strong felt even stronger as they witnessed how powerful Julian''s best pokemons really are. The ones who were the most fired up were Aegish and Charizard, Charizard still being the weakest of his Kalos team, not because he doesn''t train as hard as them or his potential is low but because of howte he joined Julian''s team. Even though Julian tried his best, Charizard couldn''t catch up to his other pokemons before the league started so he had to be sidelined but he continued to train, Charizard believed that one day his fire will burn as bright as Infernape''s. Chapter 1221: Events At The Island Chapter 1221: Events At The Ind Julian spends some time with his pokemons before leaving them on their own and returning to his residence where his fianc¨¦es are waiting for him. He joined his fianc¨¦es and toured the ind for a few hours and returned to their residence again, there was nothing much to do here other than just rx and enjoy nature, it was an escape from the loud and busy cities. Here everything is surrounded by forest and the air is clean with no impurities. A perfect ce for his fianc¨¦es to escape to get rid of all the unnecessary bullshit that they have to go through because of their jobs. This ce was perfect for them to hang out and just rx. While staying and enjoying his time here on his ind, Julian also found something else that caught his interest. Since he spent a lot of money and resources on this ind, he has hidden cameras and rm systems installed all over the ind so any intruder would be easily detected. Though Julian doesn''t need any form of protection o his ind because of his pokemons, he still installed them for identification purposes, if someone did try to enter his ind they would get murked by his pokemon but for Julian to figure out who it was and for whom they worked for, he needed those cameras. Inside his office room, Julian sat in front of hisputer and looked at the video ying on the screen, most of the days there were no activities except some pokemons moving around, but one day stood out. Julian looked at the date and found out that it was right after he left for Kalos, many men in dark suits entered his ind with weapons in their hands, they were clearly here to capture his pokemons, just seeing these people attempt to steal his pokemon made hisugh. It was surprising that Gyarados even allowed these idiots to get on the ind. Well, Julian was not wrong, Gyarados has destroyed multiple ships and submarines that tried to get close to the ind, most of the time Gyarados just deals with them but sometimes, he just lets it go and decided to take a nap. Julian watched as these people who seem to number around a hundred divided themselves into four groups and spread across the ind to hunt down Julian''s pokemon. The first group traveled through the forest and got very unlucky as they came across an innocent sleeping Electivire, when these people saw the Electivire, they thought that they have struck gold as they recognized Electivire as one of Julian''s strongest pokemons but they didn''t know they came across the worst possible pokemon they coulde across on his ind. They didn''t know that Electivire was the other half of the dynamic duo the Grinning Boys. Trying to catch Electivire while he is asleep, they shot a powerful tranquilizer at Electivire, Electivire who was sleeping peacefully suddenly opened his eyes as he sensed something was flying towards him at extreme speed, suddenly a thin bolt of purple lightning escaped his body, and met the tranquilizer and turned it into ashes. Electivire then slowly got to his feet and looked at the bushes where the 25 men were hiding with a massive grin on his face, the men who were hiding behind the bushes were shocked seeing this and fear filled their hearts, they knew that Electivire is staring at them and they have nowhere to run. Knowing the oue if they tried to escape, they decided to fight and all 25 men sent out their pokemons to battle Electivire but as soon as these 25 pokemons came out, a massive bolt of purple lightning fell from the sky towards them, and sent all 25 pokemons shooting through the air. With just one move Electivire leveled all 25 pokemons that were almost elite level, the group of men were now scared shitlessly, Electivire then started to giggle, and hearing him giggle sent chills down these men''s spine, with no other choice but to run, they started running. Electivire thenughed out loud seeing how his prey are not scrambling for their lives, he floated up in the air as lightning surrounded him, it was as if the atmosphere is creating lightning to support Electivire in the air. With every lightning strike he released, one man would fall down, it didn''t even take a minute before Electivire wiped out every man that tried to escape from him, their weapons, clothes, their skin, everything was burnt down to ashes. Julian knew that all these men had died because if they had survived their bodies would have been found, and their bodies must have turned into ashes by Electivire. These men were not the only victim as the other three groups also disappeared from the ind with no trace as they encountered Julian''s other pokemons. As Julian continued to go through all the footage, he found more attempts of these men trying to enter his ind and steal his pokemons but every time they would disappear with no trace left behind. After multiple failures, whoever this organization is, finally gave up as they lost too much manpower. Julian has an idea about who this organization is and he suspects it to be none other than the underworld because he knows the underworld is very interested in creating another training like him and getting one of his pokemons might help them achieve that. This just made Julian hate the underworld even more. When he finallyes across them he will not even hesitate topletely eradicate them. But before he takes care of the underworld, he wants to destroy Cipher and cut off the underworld from getting ess to Shadow Pokemon, by now even a fool could tell that the underworld is nning for arge scale war and they n to use shadow pokemons so if Julian is able to put an end to shadow pokemons, he will cripple Underworld''s ns. Julian has been ignoring the underworld for quite a while, but now they are fully under his radar. Chapter 1222: To Alola Chapter 1222: To Al Julian is in his home in pallet town, sitting right in front of his massive tv joined by Crystal who is sipping on its moo-moo milk, his fiance¨¦s have all left Kanto as they need to head back to their work. All three of them have taken a very long vacation and now they need to go back to work as they are all very busy women who are on top of their fields and they need to be there. Today is the day he will leave for Al, his private jet should be waiting for him. He looked at Crystal who is still sipping on its milk. Julian "Crystal, it''s time to go". Julian said. Crystal turned towards him with the milk bottle still in its little hands while its little mouth continued to suck on the milk, it tilted its head and looked at Julian with confusion. Crystal is enjoying itself drinking milk and watching the tv, it didn''t know why Julian would abandon suchfortable activity, if it was up to Crystal, it wouldn''t go anywhere. Julian "You are bingzier day by day, I should increase your training regime". Julian said with an annoyed voice, hearing that its training would get more intense, it quickly bolted towards Julian and threw the bottle on hisp and went into his front pocket, and peeked out its head with a cute smile trying to be as innocent as possible. Julian sighed seeing thezy little fellow but he couldn''t do anything other than love it for being so cute, he got to his feet and left his house along with a few pokemons he caught in Kanto. Like always he has his Infernape, Gengar, and Snox with him, and along with them, he brought his Charizard and Aegish. He also has another pokemon with him that doesn''t belong to him and is not under his control. It is the shadow Volcanion that he has Gengar keeping an eye on in the shadow realm, he cannot let the beserk pokemon out in the open as it will try to destroy everything every time he brings it out. Julian has tried to bring the Volcanion under control but nothing worked, he even tried to get his system to find out a cure but it couldn''t do anything, the modification on the Volcanion has been done very deeppletely altering its DNA, to reverse the shadowfication, Julian has to get his hands on the Cipher''s form for creating these shadow pokemons. Once he finds out how they perform the shadowfication, Julian with the help of his system can reverse engineer it and turn Volcanion back to its original state. He also decided to release the Zygarde core on his private ind where it can be safe and if it wants to leave, no one will stop it, as a pokemon that is tasked with keeping the world safe and being its guardian, Julian doesn''t want to force it to stay with him. The Zygarde core also didn''t want to stay with Julian either, though it was thankful to Julian for protecting it, it has a bigger task to fulfill, so letting it go was the best choice. _________________ With him runningte, Julian didn''t waste any second and left his home before locking it, but before he left he visited Professor Oak as he learned that Professor Oak''s cousin lives there and Professor Oak has something to hand over to his cousin. After receiving the file from Professor Oak, Julian made his way toward the airport, and since he has his own private jet he doesn''t need to wait in line like the others, he entered his private luxury jet where he was greeted by Anastasia, his private air hostess and also his personal ve. Since it was going to be a very long flight Julian made sure he didn''t get bored so he had Anastasiae and be his hostess during the flight and Anastasia would never give up the chance to miss being with Julian. But it was not only Anastasia who was waiting for him as his jet''s pilot is none other than Sk, his other ve and she is definitely one of the most degenerate ones of the group, she came out of the captain''s cabin and greeted him. Soon the jet took off while Julian enjoyed Anastasia''spany, she is on her keens with her mouth around his dick, Sk was jealous but she couldn''t do anything as she at least needs to handle the jet for at least an hour before she can put it in autopilot. _____________________ It was a very long flight and the result of this long flight could be seen inside, Anastasia ispletely drenched in her own sweat with her pussypletely red and swollen, her eyes are rolled over with her mouth wide open, her legs are twitching while semen is running out of her pussy. It wa a long 14-hour flight and Anastasia got very few breaks, it would be 1 hour of resting and then hours of getting rammed by Julian, sometimes Sk would join in while allowing Anastasia to rest up a little bit since she is the pilot, she had to go back to the cabin whenever she was needed to. But it was not over, right now Sk is getting railed right beside Anastasia, since the jet has alreadynded on a private runway, Sk doesn''t need to go back to the cabin, and right now she is grabbing onto the backrest of the seat very tightly while her pussy is getting rammed from behind. Sk''s moans are as loud as they could ever get while Julian just enjoyed fucking Sk and watching her th ass ripple every time his abdomen ps into them. After another hour Julian was done with Sk and left her in the same state as Anastasia, looking at his two ves who arepletely lost in pleasure Julian smirked, he has not fucked them for quite a while so they couldn''t keep up with his pace causing them to break like this. Julian "I will be leaving then, you can either stay and spend a few days here and enjoy the inds or you can go back if you have other work waiting for you". Saying so, Julian left the private jet and walked into the airport gate. Chapter 1223: Melemele Island Chapter 1223: Melemele Ind Julian put on his mask and hood so that he doesn''t get identified here, being an ind region, Al is a huge tourist attraction so many peoplee here for vacation and because of this, there are a lot of people in the airport. Julian quickly exited the airport and headed towards the pokemon school as that is where Professor Oak''s cousin Samson Oak is staying, Julian learned that Samson Oak is also a pokemon professor who specializes in regional variants of pokemons here in Al and he is also the lead researcher on Totem pokemons. Julian is quite interested in both the regional variants and totem pokemons that Samson is an expert at, but mostly he is looking into Totem pokemons because they are being targeted by this so-called organization that calls itself Cipher. Professor Samson Oak is not the only professor here in Al Inds, Professor Kukui also lives here and Julian is on quite friendly terms with Professor Kukui and considers him as a friend. Melemele ind is very big and it took Julian some time to reach the Pokemon School, when he got there he saw a massive empty yground which has multiple pokemon battlefields carved on it, and right beside this huge yground is the pokemon school. The school is surrounded by tall coconut trees making it look pleasant to the eyes, Julian looked around and noticed that the school is closed, there are no students in the vicinity. Julian wondered why there are no students present in the school even though it was quite early in the day, ignoring the empty field in front of him, Julian approached the school building and tried to find Samson, and even though the school looks massive and its structure looked veryplicated, it was very easy for him to find the principal''s office. Julian knocked on the massive door in front of him and a voice came from inside asking him toe in, Julian pushed the door open and saw an old man with grey shoulder-length hair and dark skin, this person is none other than Samson Oak, the cousin of Professor Oak. Julian was quite surprised by how simr Samson Oak and Professor Oak looked, they are almost like identical twins, the only difference is their hairstyle and skin color, Samson Oak is wearing a thin cotton shirt and cargo half pants while working on his desk. Samson lifted his head and looked at Julian with a big smile on his face. Samson "Wee, wee, hahaha, I have been waiting for your arrival". Samson enthusiastically got off his seat and walked towards Julian with a massive smile on his face, Julian is not used to such an intense greeting but he still decided to put up a smile and shake Samson''s hand. Julian "It''s good to meet you as well professor, I read your research and I am quite interested in these totem pokemons, I hope to learn more about them from you". Samson "Hahaha, no need to be so formal, we are family, you are after all my grand nephew''s fianc¨¦". Samson said whileughing out loud. Julian "Here, this is from Professor Oak". Julian said and handed the envelope he received from Professor Oak, Samson took the envelope and put it on his desk without a care in the world,pared to Professor Oak, Samson seems to be very free-spirited and doesn''t take things seriously. Samson "Thank you for troubling yourself with such a minor task but I appreciate it" Julian "No need to worry, I don''t mind". Samson "If you don''t mind, maybe you can help me around in the school....." Samson said followed up by a long pause beforeughing out loud again. Samson "Hahaha, I am just kidding, unless you want to...." Julian didn''t know what to say, seeing how thick skin Samson is really ticked him off but he was being respectful here, he didn''t want to deny nor agree with Samson so he just kept quiet. Samson "Haha, got you again, no need to trouble yourself with me, I am just messing with you. Since you are new here in Al, you should look around the ind, we can talk when youe back and here are the keys to the guest house, it is located behind the school, you can stay there if you want or you can rent a room at a local hotel". Samson said and handed over a key to Julian, Julian took the key and thanked him. Julian "By the way, I wanted to ask about the school, it''s still very early in the morning so why are there no students?" Samson "They all are on a field trip to study pokemons and their habitat here in Al, since there are not many students here, most of the sses are either held outside so the students can get a better understanding of pokemons up close" Samson exined. Julian nodded his head as he thought it was quite an effective way for children to learn about pokemon and with the habitat that Al provides for its pokemons, these pokemons are more exposed to the human eyes. The inds being surrounded by water allows people to fish for water-type pokemons, the sandy beach, the tropical forest, and the volcanic terrain, the icy tundra, allow the people of Al to study all types of pokemons. Julian is also interested in visiting all the four inds and checking out all the unique terrains here in Al, he would also love to see the regional variants that live here in Al. Bidding farewell to Samson, Julian decided to look around the Melemele ind. Melemele ind is very big, it has high mountains, a long sandy beach, and a massive water body surrounding it, it also has rocky boulders surrounding the ind under and over the water creating a very safe ce for people to swim around, this is also the reason why Melemele ind is the most famous destination among the four inds for tourists. After giving it some thought, Julian decided to visit the beach as he has a very particr pokemon he is very interested in and he wants to catch a good one, and the beach is where he has the most confidence to find one. Exiting the school, Julian took the same road he took toe here. Since Melemele''s terrain is dominated by mountains in the middle, it has forced the people to build their houses around the ind, there were, of course, some people that decided to build their houses on the high ground but mostmercial buildings were close to the shore. So even without any guide, one wouldn''t get lost in Melemele ind unless they wandered into the deep forest and lose their sense of direction and don''t know how to track through a forest. Julian took out his trusty off-road motorbike which he has not ridden for quite a while now and got a little nostalgic, he hopped on it and rode around the ind to get a rough idea of all the routes here in Melemele ind, he also took this time to see how people interact here in Al. And it didn''t take him long to notice that people here greet each other by saying Al, Julian found it weird as using their own region''s name as a greeting word but he was in no position to judge, he just hopes that people here don''t expect him to use Al every time he meets people. Chapter 1224: First Pokemon In Alola Chapter 1224: First Pokemon In Al After looking around for a while, Julian directly headed towards the beach, and when he got there his eyes were greeted by a very beautiful scene, the endless blue ocean which reflects the sunlight creating a beautiful sight, and the grand endless sky where the sun hangs and a lot of beautiful women in bikinis running aroundughing and fooling around. Julian took some time to enjoy the view but soon got back to the task that he came here for, he walked along the shore of the beach and soon arrived at a rocky terrain, there are little to no people here, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocky boulders could be heard clearly, Julian looked around and he could see a lot of active pokemon life in this area. He could see some Corss sticking to those massive rocks, Corss are interesting pokemons and have a quite good defense but it is not a pokemon that Julian is interested in, he is looking for something which is very timid in nature and because they are timid in nature, they will be hard to find without Julian sneaking behind them. Julian slowed down his steps along with his breathing and approached the rocky areas, the pokemon he is looking for likes to bury themselves under the sand or hide under these massive rocks, luckily for Julian, these pokemons like to live in groups so he doesn''t have to search for them for too long. He can just scout from a distance and target one that meets his standard, it didn''t take Julian long to find a few of the pokemons he is looking for, he saw these tiny crawlers crawling around feeding on small critters which have attached themselves to these rocks and crevices. Julian carefully watched all these little crawlers moving around while positioning himself behind a rock, Julian is very lucky today as he has already seen multiple pokemons rushing around feeding, even though he has not seen any promising pokemon, he is still very happy with how many of them are in the area. He also noticed how skittish they are, just a little noise can startle them and cause them to burry themselves into deep sand, Julian knows that he has no chance of catching one of these through weakening them, if he sends a pokemon out there to knock it out, they would instantly retreat before even trying to engage in a fight. Julian will have to directly catch it through a Pokeball, he will have to get a perfect throw to catch one and since these pokemons are not that strong, they will not be able to escape out of it. So the wait began, he waited and waited and waited, for almost 4 hours, even though the pokemon he is looking for have been showing in abundance, none of them caught his attention, until one of them finally did. He saw a little one crawl out of the ocean, this one is different in color indicating that it is a Shiny, and since it is a Shiny, its potential is one of the best, but this pokemon is way smallerpared to others, Julian wondered why is this one so smallpared to others. The pokemon he is looking at is already small and they average at 0.5 meters, but the shiny that just stepped in is just 0.25 meters long, it is half the size of its species. Julian didn''t know why this pokemon is so small but he can tell that the potential of this pokemon is massive so he took out an empty Pokeball and threw it at the shiny pokemon at full speed. The little shiny pokemon seem to have sensed somethinging towards it and made a very fast turn to see what is it, when it saw a Pokeball shooting towards it, it tried to run away by digging into the sand and it was fast. Half of its body already dug into the sand but Julian''s target was on point, the Pokeball touched the pokemon''s tail and engulfed it at once, as soon as the Pokeballnded on the ground, it startled all the other pokemons as the fleed in fright, all of them either buried into the sand or ran into the crevices of the rocks. The Pokeball started to shake and Julian got a little nervous, he knows that if this pokemon escapes from the Pokeball it might escape if Julian doesn''t take a quick measure, he took out another Pokeball and waited for the current one to fail so he can throw another one at it. The pokemon on the ground continued to shake violently, Julian didn''t know what is going to happen, from what he has learned about these pokemons, they are very weak in their early state and they can''t even escape from a Pokeball even if they are full of energy. Julian hopes that his first Pokeball is sessful in catching it, the Pokeball continued to shake, beeping multiple times, after a few seconds of struggle the Pokeball finally stopped while its button started to bleep multiple times, Julian held his breath in anticipation as his grip on the other Pokeball tightened. The Pokeball suddenly exploded and the pokemon shot out of the Pokeball, as soon as the Pokeball exploded, Julian''s arm threw the Pokeball like a slingshot and caught the pokemon once again in mid-air, the second Pokeballnded on the ground again and this time the Pokeball didn''t move around for too long. The Pokeball beeped releasing a present chime indicating that the catch is sessful, seeing this Julian took a deep breath and approached the Pokeball and picked it up, he looked around and saw many little eyes staring at him with caution and fear. He shook his head and walked away with his very first pokemon here in Al. Chapter 1225: Crystals New Friend Chapter 1225: Crystal''s New Friend Julian soon found an open isted area and released the pokemon he just caught, he looked at the little bug pokemon with its hard white scales on its back, its red-colored mouth and tail, and its little red antennas over its eyes. It looks timid and is slowly backing away as it stares at Julian with its weary eyes, Julian also looked back at his new pokemon the Shiny Wimpod with a smile on his face, since he didn''t want to scare it, he lowered himself to not look intimidating and took out some delicious treats that bug type pokemons love. As soon as Julian took out the treats, Wimpod was instantly captivated by the smell of the snack in Julian''s hand, even though it is weary of Julian, it couldn''t help but approach the snack to try it, Julian was very proud of himself right now because he knows his pokemon treats are one of the best out there and no pokemon can resist it. He watched as Wimpod slowly approached his hand, Julian lowered his hand a little further and ced it on the ground, and let Wimpod getfortable, Wimpod crawled up right next to Julian''s hand and started to sniff the treats and looked back at Julian as it is still very cautious, the desire to eat those treats is very high but its nature is also very timid. During this interaction, Julian did his best to stay still as Wimpod are very curious pokemons, even though they are timid, they are known to approach people and pokemon if they are very still out of curiosity, Julian hoped that him staying still would help Wimpod calm down and except him as someone that is not harmful. It took a minute, but Wimpod finally showed signs of trust and started to munch on the treats in Julian''s hand, as soon as it started eating the treat, it got hooked and couldn''t stop eating, in a matter of seconds, Wimpod emptied Julian''s hand and looked back at him wanting for more. Julian smiled and took out some more and fed it to Wimpod, Wimpod continued to eat without a care in the world, Julian took this time to make Wimpod get used to his touch as he slowly stroked the back of Wimpod. Wimpod liked this feeling so it didn''t oppose Julian and let him continue, it really didn''t take Julian long to establish trust with Wimpod, since Wimpod is still not mature and just a little baby, they can easily get attached to someone who can provide them food. It is a natural instinct of weak and small pokemons to be dependent on stronger pokemons that can provide for them, Wimpods are also very dependent pokemon who need the protection of their mother at a young age, or they would get hunted by predatory pokemons. Julian got very lucky that he didn''t encounter any Golisopod protecting these Wimpods, usually the mother Golisopod are very close to these Wimpods in hiding, the only time they are not is when they go out for a hunt. Golisopods give birth to several Wimpods at a time but very few are able to evolve into adulthood because they get hunted by every other pokemon in the ecosystem and with their curious nature, they get eaten by predators who just stand still to get the attention of these Wimpods. Julian is very lucky to have caught this Wimpod today, if he had not caught it, it might have got eaten by something big in the waters and it would be a waste of such a good seed. Once Wimpod was done eating, Julian lifted it up in the air and found out that this one is a male, Julian was surprised by this, he thought this one would be a female because of its size but he was wrong, this one is a male. Julian doesn''t know why his Wimpod is so smallpared to others but he doesn''t care, he did notice that his Wimpod is very fastpared to other Wimpods he saw so it was an advantage. As Julian was checking on Wimpod, Crystal who was napping inside his pocket suddenly popped its head out startling the Wimpod causing it to bolt away from Julian''s hand and hide behind his leg, Julian sighed and knew he has to teach his Wimpod to be braver. It will be a hard task due to his nature, but he has to do it for Wimpod to be a stronger pokemon and then further evolve into a stronger Golisopod. Crystal flew out of his pocket and floated towards Wimpod with curiousness in his eyes, Crystal loves making friends and it wants to befriend Wimpod so it extended its tiny arm towards Wimpod with a very cute little smile on its face, no matter who it is, they cannot escape the charm that Crystal has. Wimpod immediately felt that Crystal is very friendly and approached it, it didn''t even take Crystal a few seconds and it looks like they are already best friends as they ran around Julian trying to chase each other. Julian sat down and decided to let the two of them y around for a while as he enjoys the view, he also kept a very close eye on his surrounding as there are a lot of predators in the area and his Wimpod is a very easy snack for them, of course, they would be foolish to even approach Wimpod in Crystal''s presence but who knows why might happen so it is always best to stay cautions, thankfully nothing happened and Julian was able to rx and watch the massive endless ocean touching the horizon creating a beautiful scenery. After Wimpod was exhausted from running around trying to catch Crystal, Julian fed him some berries and sent him back to his Pokeball, it was time for him to head back to the town and find a hotel to stay at. He could, of course, stay at the school but Julian decided not to, he went back to the town and rented a room at a nice seaside hotel with a beautiful view so he can look at and appreciate the beauty of this ind. Chapter 1226: Crystals Another New "Friend" Chapter 1226: Crystal''s Another New "Friend" It''s nighttime here in Al and Julian is on the balcony of his hotel room looking at the night sky and its reflection on the ocean, the moon''s light is reflected on the still surface creating a cold but beautiful scenery for him to enjoy. He is currently joined by his Crystal as it drank its moomoo-milk with great enthusiasm, Julian is also having a stake while enjoying the scenery when he suddenly felt something was watching him, not only him but Crystal who doesn''t get bothered by much stopped drinking and looked at the direction from where it felt the gaze wasing from. Julian looked at arge tree and he could tell something was hiding behind the leaves, he put his stake on the table and got up, and walked close to the ledge of the balcony to get a good view of the thing that is staring at them. Though the pokemon was behind the tree leaves Julian could still see its eyes as they were glowing with different colors, Julian started to wonder what he should do right now, should he approach this pokemon and let it do it itself. After thinking for a few seconds Julian decided to not take any action. If this pokemon wanted something it woulde to them, he doesn''t need to bother it in any way, he looked at Crystal and saw that it went back to drinking its moomoo milk, Crystal''s attention span is very little so he was not surprised by Crystalpletely losing interest in their stalker. Julian didn''t sit down but continued to look at the tree leaves as he is very interested in the pokemon hiding behind it, he could easily tell that this pokemon is a special one, it can be a mythical or a legendary pokemon. Julian just wants to know why it is here and what it needs from him, as he continued watching the leaves the tree shook and a blurry figure shot out of the tree and directly headed towards his direction. Julian is surprised by how fast this pokemon is, at one moment it was hundreds of meters away from him and the next moment it is right in front of him, Julian carefully observed this pokemon in front of him, it had two slender arms and a dome-shaped armor attached to them which are yellow in color, it also has a very sharp single w at the end of its arms, these armors have an abstract pattern on them, its body is ck in color with orange spiky hair shaped that of a rooster''s, it doesn''t seem to have any legs, instead its bottom half is also covered with orange hair. From what Julian has learned about Al, this is the guardian Pokemon of Melemele Ind, Tapu Koko. Julian is pleasantly surprised that the guardian pokemon itself hase to visit him, from what he has read about Tapu Koko, despite it being called a guardian pokemon, it rarely helps the people and pokemon of this ind and is known to be very fickle, it is also very curious and will approach people or pokemon it finds interesting and would engage them in a battle or give them unique presents. Now Julian wondered what Tapu Koko wants from him, does it want to battle him, or is it here to give him something, if it wants to battle, Julian would, of course, not deny it but it would be a very easy win for Julian. Though it is a strong pokemon, it is at most as strong as a third-rate legendary pokemon simr to the Kanto legendary birds. Crystal who was sipping on its moomoo milk happily stopped drinking and looked at Tapu Koko, it got excited seeing a new face so it put down its milk bottle and floated towards Tapu Koko with no concern and a cute smile on its face. Tapu Koko didn''t like getting approached so it let out a warning cry but Crystalpletely ignored it, seeing that its warning cry is not working, it sent out a warning lightning bolt at Crystal but Crystal just swatted the lightning bold away like a fly, it thought that Tapu Koko wants to y so it got excited and sent out its own lightning bolt at Tapu Koko. Sensing the iing disaster, Tapu Koko used its speed to move out of the lightning bolt''s way and watched it disperse into the sky, Tapu Koko looked at the menacing little thing that isn''t even half a meter tall and felt impending doom. It looked at Julian again and decided to leave, its body blurred and bolted towards the trees and disappeared from their sight, seeing Tapu Koko go away, Crystal felt sad that its new friend didn''t want to y with it. Julian justughed awkwardly seeing this, he knew that Crystal scared away the ind guardian of Melemele ind without intending it. Julian "Crystal,e back" Crystal went back to Julian and sat on his shoulder with its head down in sadness. Julian "No need to be sad, you scared it away without intending to, next time when we meet again try not to scare it away, Ok?" Julian said and rubbed Crystal''s head with his finger and smiled, Crystal just nodded its head like an innocent baby and started to smile cheerfully again, it then went back to drinking its milk with no care if the world andpletely forgetting about what just happened. Julian smiled and looked back at the trees where Tapu Koko disappeared, something told him that this would not be their only interaction. Chapter 1227: Meeting Delia And Ash Chapter 1227: Meeting Delia And Ash The next morning Julian woke up early in the morning and walked into the balcony to watch the sunrise from the horizon, as the sun slowly made its way out of the horizon, the sky got painted orange along with the rippling water which reflected an imperfect orange which created quite a stunning view. Julian called the hotel service and asked for a coffee which was brought instantly to him, the hotel staff didn''t want to make Julian wait at all, he opened the door and was greeted by a beautiful hotel worker who brought a tray filled with his breakfast and coffee, he let her fix his table. Once she left he enjoyed his breakfast and decided to head to pokemon school as he needs to learn more about totem pokemons and maybe also learn about some Z moves. He walked out of his hotel room and headed down towards the main lobby, as he walked out of the hotel, he thought he noticed a familiar face sunbathing on a recliner chair near the beach, Julian approached her to see if she is really the person who he thinks she is. As he got close to her, he could confirm his suspicion, this woman is none other than Delia, Julian checked her out and couldn''t help but be impressed by her figure, well since she is around 29 years old, she still has a lot of years for her beauty to fade away. He stared at her breasts being squeezed by her bikini and couldn''t help but imagine sucking on them, he had his chance once with Delia but they never took it to the next step, from what Julian knows about Delia, she has not seen her husband for almost six years as he is on his own journey, though Julian feels bad for Delia he never made a move on her because she is married and has a living breathing husband, though he is not present in her life, Julian doesn''t like the idea of taking someone''s else''s woman as he doesn''t like the idea of someone else doing it to him. Julian "Delia, what are you doing here?" Julian called her out, Delia who is enjoying her sunbathing removed her sunsses and saw Julian, she was surprised to see him here. Delia "Julian, what a surprise!" She eximed, Mr. Mime who is sunbathing next to her also removed its sunsses and greeted Julian, Julian smiled back at Mr. Mime and noticed a pokemon egg right next to him, he didn''t know why they have a pokemon egg with them but he didn''t bother to ask. Julian "So?" Delia "Ah, yes, we are here thanks to Mr. Mime, he spun a lottery and won us a vacation to Al" She said with a big smile on her face. Julian "Oh, that''s great, I hope you enjoy your time here, Melemele ind is a beautiful ce" Delia "It is indeed". Delia said with a smile, as they continued to talk someone else came rushing towards them, Julian turned his head and noticed that it is none other than Ash and Pikachu, as soon as Ash appeared in front of them, he started telling his mom about the pokemons he saw underwater while riding on a ride pokemon. Ride pokemons are very famous here in Al, people use pokemons as a means of transport here, though this practice is not umon, people here in Al use them a lot. It looks like Ash had a lot of fun riding on Sharpedo and observing the underwater life, as Ash continued to exin, he finally noticed Julian who is standing next to his mother, Ash was surprised to see Julian here. Ash "Julian, what are you doing here?" He asked while being very excited about seeing him. Julian "I had some work in Al" Ash "I see! Mom, I want to look around the ind". He said. Delia "Wait, we need to go to the pokemon school". She said. Ash "Pokemon school?" Delia "Did you forget? Professor Oak gave us a pokemon egg to hand over to his cousin" Ash "Ah! Ipletely forgot, let''s get going then'' He said excitedly to check out the pokemon school. Julian who was on the side couldn''t help but look at the pokemon egg that is right next to Mr. Mime, he wondered which pokemon egg it is. Julian "Which pokemon egg is it?" Julian asked. Ash "I don''t know, Professor Oak told us we will find out when it hatches" Julian "Well, I will take my leave then, I have some things I need to look into" Julian said and bid farewell to Ash and his mom and headed towards the police station as he wanted to find something from them, unlike other regions the league has no authority here in Al so Julian cannot use his status to ask for information from the officials here in Al, he hopes he can get something from the police station. It didn''t take him long to arrive at the police station and when he entered, he noticed that the police station is empty and there is only one person sitting at the desk in front, Julian looked at this person and could easily identify her. She is a young version of Officer Jenny, she seems to be around 18 years old and from the look on her face, she looks quite bored with her job, Julian got a careful look at this version of Jenny and could tell that officer Jennys here in Al are a little different the ones in the main regions. Maybe it is because of the environment but the officer Jennys here have a little longer face, their hair color stays the same but the hairstyle is very different. Julian walked into the police station which grabbed the attention of the young Jenny who lifted her head to look at the person that just entered, and when she looked at his face she got stunned. Chapter 1228: Young Jenny Chapter 1228: Young Jenny The young Jenny couldn''t believe her eyes, she had to pinch her own cheeks to realize that this is not a dream nor she is hallucinating. Julian, the greatest pokemon trainer is standing right in front of her and she doesn''t know what to do. Jenny "We-wel-wee, ni-nice to... to... to mee-meet you, my... my name is J-J-Je-Jenny" Julian "Calm down, I am not that intimidating, take a deep breath and once you are ready, we can continue" Julian said with a smile, he didn''t expect he would have fans here in Al as well, the league is not a big thing here in Al and that is why not many people recognized him when he walked around freely on the streets of Al, the people here are very shielded from the outside world and doesn''t care about what happens outside of Al. The Al inds are their own world and the people here like to live it that way, having a fan here is a huge deal. Taking Julian''s advice, young Jenny took a deep breath with her eyes closed and calmed down, it took a minute but Julian was patient, once she calmed down she looked at Julian again. She is much calmer now but she is still very nervous in front of him. Jenny "Wee, how can I help you?" She asked. One can still hear the nervousness in her voice but she is a lot calmer than before. Julian "I needed some information, hope you can help me" Jenny "Information? About what?" Julian "Have there been any activities rted to totem pokemons in here in Melemele ind?" Julian asked. Jenny "Totem Pokemons? let me check" She said and started to look into the database but after a few seconds she couldn''te up with anything. Jenny "Sorry but I can''t find anything rted to totem pokemons in our database, maybe there might be something on my superior''s database but I am not authorized to ess it". She said while being a little disappointed that she couldn''t help her idol. Julian "Can I speak to your superior then?" Julian asked. Jenny "Not right now, our officers have been really busy because of the shenanigans caused by Team Skull today, maybe you cane back tomorrow" She said. Julian "Team Skull, who are they?" Julian got curious as he wondered if there is another organization here present in Al that he needs to look after. Jenny "They are just some trouble makers who go around causing a nuisance for the people of Al, they are really annoying, argh. If I get my hands on them, I will beat them up till they never cause trouble again". She started venting out her frustration, and it is very clear to Julian. He could tell that she doesn''t like this Team Skull but he could also confirm that this Team Skull is not something that he should bother with as they are just a local gang. Julian "Ok, I will be leaving then, thank you for your time" Julian said and was about to leave when Jenny stopped him and asked for a selfie with a red face, she mustered up all her courage to ask him for a selfie, Julian doesn''t normally take selfies with his fans but he decided to make an exception with her and took a selfie with her. Julian "Would you do me a favor and inform your superior about me being here and ask them to look into anything rted to totem pokemons? I would really appreciate it". Jenny "Don''t worry, I will inform my superiors and will do my best to find what you are looking for". She said enthusiastically. Julian "Thank you". Julian thanked her and left the police precinct, having no sess with the police station about finding information regarding totem pokemons, Julian could do nothing but head towards pokemon school and learn a little about these totem pokemons from principal Samson. Julian entered themercial part of the city again and looked around to buy something for himself and his pokemons, Melemele ind has a lot of unique fruits and berries that can only be found here. Julian would love to make some unique vored food for both him and his pokemon, he soon started shopping, going from stall to stall checking out the goods and buying them. As he continued to shop, he suddenly heard amotion a little further away from him, with his attention now on themotion, he turned his head and looked over at what is happening. He saw smoke rising up in the air while fruits and berries are rolling on the ground, Julian frowned and approached themotion. He saw a group of people surrounding an area cursing and calling out someone, Julian walked through the crowd and finally realized what is happening, he saw a few young men in women in ck clothes with a skull printed on them, and the boys have their hair dyed blue while the girls had it pink. Julian could easily tell that these goons are none other than Team Skull, the gang that likes to cause nuisance here in Al, and with how busy the police are, Julian doubts that they would be here. He saw that they are bullying a middle-aged woman who is begging them to leave her alone. Chapter 1229: Team Skull Chapter 1229: Team Skull Julian saw the middle-aged woman picking up the fruits and berries on the ground and putting it back on her cart, like other vendors, she doesn''t seem to have her own spot so she is using a pushcart to sell her good and now she is being bullied by these idiots. No wonder the young Jenny was so frustrated by Team Skull, their actions though not as dangerous as organizations that Julian has faced before, are still very hical andck morals. "Just leave me alone". The middle-aged woman voiced out but the goons from Team Skull justughed at her, they have also surrounded the middle-aged woman and prevented the people from helping her. "Look, we just asked you to give us some berries to feed our pokemon and you actually dared to ask for money, look at our pokemon, they are skinny and starving, you are such a heartless person for not giving it to our pokemon for free, you deserve this". The man with blue hair in the lead said with a grin on his face as he picked up a berry and took a bite out of it, the other members of Team Skull justughed seeing this and enjoyed the show. "You bastards, leave her alone, how could you do such things". A man in the crowd voiced his concern for the middle-aged woman, and the leader of the group turned his head towards the man and grinned. "How can I do this? You are asking the wrong question pal, didn''t you hear what I just said, she is a heartless woman who can''t spare a few berries for our pokemons, heartless people deserve to be punished, hahaha". Julian has seen enough, he stepped up and started walking toward the middle-aged woman who is about to break down in tears, the two goons who were blocking Julian''s path noticed him walking towards them. They were surprised that someone is stepping in but soon their surprise turn into excitement as they are now going to have some fun with this man. "Hey you, you got some balls stepping up, didn''t you hear what the boss just said, that old woman deserves to be punis-" Before he could even finish his sentence, Julian put his hand on his face and lifted him up in the air like a child, the guy was only 5''7 in height and when lifted by someone who is over 6 feet tall and ridiculously powerful, he had no chance of escaping. Julian just tossed the goon to the side and continued to walk forward, the other goon who was standing next to him waspletely shocked by this, he didn''t expect his partner to just get tossed away like that. "Hey, stop". The goon tried to stop him but Julian didn''t even look at him and backhanded his face with a bitch p, the goon just did a whole 360 and went head first onto the ground. This, of course, grabbed the attention of everything present on the street, the Team Skull goons looked at Julian and wondered who this person is? Nobody tried to stop him and just watched as he walked towards the middle-aged woman and lift her up. Julian "No need to pick these up" Julian said. The middle-aged woman is confused as to who this young man is but she is more worried about him as Team Skull might beat him up. "Hey look, we have a hero here, trying to act as an upright guy". The leader of the group said and startedughing, following him, the other goons also startedughing along with him. "You look like a new face here so let me tell you something, Al is run by us, Team Skull, so I am going to tell you just this once for your own good, don''t interfere in our business". He said but Julianpletely ignored him. Julian "How much of a loss did you suffer?" Julian asked directly to the middle-aged woman, the woman didn''t want to bother Julian but for some reason, she couldn''t deny his question. "About a thousand poke dors". She replied. "Hey, the boss is talking". Seeing that Julian was not listening to their leader, one of them approached Julian but before he could even reach Julian, a chain made of shadow shot out from the dark and grabbed the goon''s leg and sent him flying through the air with no concern. "You fucking bastard, how dare you attack us Team Skull! Everyone, attack him". The leader finally had enough of it and ordered the other goons to attack him, every Team Skull goon called out their pokemon and ordered their pokemons to attack Julian. Julian kept hisposure and directly stare downed the leader of the group. "Young man, you don''t need to bother with me, just ask for forgiveness and run away". The middle-aged woman tried to warn him but Julian just turned towards her and smiled reassuring her that nothing would happen. Julian "Gengar" Julian just spoke one word and the atmosphere changedpletely, every Team Skull goon felt their heart squeezing as they stopped breathing, their faces turned pale, and they started hyperventting as they started to feel a terrifying feeling run through their body. It was not just fear, it was dread, overwhelming dread that caused their legs to tremble and their knees to bend, their pokemons were also not in the right mind as their instinct told them to run as far as they could. Their pokemonspletely abandoned their trainers and just ran away without a care for them. The leader of the group is shaking in his boots, his heart beating faster and faster, his body sweating propitiously, his eyespletely contracted, he felt an overwhelming pressure pressing on his heart as the overwhelming dread took over his whole body. He looked at Julian and regretted doing anything today, he regretted joining Team Skull, he regretted making bad friends, he regretted being born. If he could, he would erase himself from the face of this world so that he would never have to feel this feeling ever again. Chapter 1230: Ash And The New Kid Vs Team Skull Chapter 1230: Ash And The New Kid Vs Team Skull The dread the leader of this group was feeling was something one would never forget but it was not over, he is on his knees with his eyes staring into the ground as he couldn''t lift his head from fear but he suddenly felt something. He felt someone holding his shoulders so out of sheer will he lifted his head to see who it is only to find two dark crimson eyes staring through his soul. Gengar "GEGEGEGEGEGEGE" Gengar let out a creepyugh as he stared down the leader, he is having a lot of fun scaring these people, he doesn''t get a lot of opportunities to put fear into someone but when he does, he enjoys it a lot. Seeing Gengar''s terrifying face, the leader of the group started to leak from both his sides, he peed and shit his pants simultaneously. Julian didn''t even bother to look at the leader after he peed and shit his pants, he grabbed one of the goons by his cor and stared him down with his cold eyes. Julian "Take out 1000 dors and leave and keep in mind to note here ever again or I wille for you people" Julian threatened. The goon aggressively nodded his head in fear and quickly collected 1000 dors after collecting some money from every goon and handed it over to Julian, Julian didn''t even bother to speak with them again, he just shooed them off like dogs and watched them run away while carrying their leader. Julian then walked towards the middle-aged woman and handed her the 1000 poke dor, the middle-aged woman thanked him while the people around them pped and cheered for him. The middle-aged woman wanted to thank him so she packed a few berries for him, Julian then bid his farewell and headed to pokemon school. It took him a few minutes to arrive near the school when he got there he saw anothermotion in front of him and it is caused by the same annoying group called Team Skull, this bunch looks much younger and the pokemon they have with them are also very weak. Julian didn''t try to interfere either because some people are already engaging them and these two people are none other than Ash and some kid Julian doesn''t know. He just kept his distance and watched as Ash seems to be exchanging some words with those kids from Team Skull, Julian also noticed another presence very close by, he turned his head and looked at a tree which is a few meters away from him and could tell that something was hiding behind the leaves and Julian knew what it was. It is Tapu Koko, even though Julian couldn''t see it, he felt its presence very close to him but this time it doesn''t seem to be after him. Tapu Koko also noticed Julian and looked at him with surprise but it isn''t here for Julian so it went back to watching the person it came here for, it is Ash that Tapu Koko is interested in as it felt the little human is fated with it. Julian is also curious as to why Tapu Koko is here but his attention was soon grabbed as the battle between Team Skull and Ash started. Ash sent his Pikachu to the battlefield while the kid next to him sent out a pokemon Julian has never seen before in real life, it''s called the Turtonator, and it''s a fire/dragon type pokemon. Julian has read about this pokemon but he isn''t interested in getting one of his own, the advantage of having a Turtonator is that it is a pokemon that doesn''t evolve, it only has one stage but with its very high base stats at the very beginning, a beginner trainer would have an exceptional time at the start of his career because a Turtonator would allow him to dominate the battlefield early in his career. Having a high stat at the very beginning of birth and until its growing period allows it to have an advantage over every other pokemon that is of the same level. If Turtonator is around level 10, its fire output is sometimes double or triple times more powerfulpared to other pokemon on the same level. This is indeed great for beginner trainers but the disadvantage of having a pokemon that can evolve is that they won''t be as strong as some other pokemons at thete stage of their career. There is always the argument about a great trainer training a pokemon to its peak and making it very strong but there is also the argument about a great trainer training the best pokemon to its peak and then making it the strongest ever. The difference, of course, being the best pokemon being stronger than a pokemon like Turtonator when they are at their peak. ___________________ From what Julian could see this Turtonator is a young one and has not reached its peak, it also seems to have a lot of potential, the only thing stopping it from bing strong is its trainer. It won''t be the strongest pokemon out there but with a good trainer can at least reach an elite level. The battle between Ash, the kind, and Team Skull started with Ash taking the lead and like always Pikachu showed blitzing speed appearing as a blur to everyone, Pikachu ran through four pokemons and knocked them out cold with one hit. At the end of the day, Pikachu is a champion-level pokemon, and the pokemons he is facing at best just above a beginner level, there was no way these pokemons could handle Pikachu''s strikes. Seeing the power disyed by Pikachu, the people around him seem surprised, the kids from Team Skull seemed shocked by this so they decided to attack Turtonator thinking it''s the weaker of the two and they are right to think so but attacking it head-on is a stupid decision. An Aln Rattata, a Sndit, and a Trubbish rushed towards Turtonator using their respective moves, and to counter Turtonator just turned its spiky shell towards them and used Shell Trap. Shell Trap is a move only Turtonator can use, the spikes on its back would deal extreme damage to anyone that touches it. And as the three pokemon crashed into Turtonator shell, they were sent flying through the air and knocked themselves out. Chapter 1231: Meeting The New Group Chapter 1231: Meeting The New Group Julian is surprised to see the results, he had read about Turtonator''s signature move Shell Trap being a very strong move but he never expected it to be so powerful. From what he saw, he estimates Shell Trap to be as strong as a Giga Impact or a Hyper Beam. With another three pokemon of Team Skull being knocked out, only four pokemons were left with the Team Skull kids, as Ash was about to step in and finish the battle, the kid next to him stopped Ash and stepped forward dering that he will put an end to this. The kid with dark skin, red and ck hair stepped up after his deration and started to speak with passion as he did some kind of weird dance, it was not only him, even his Turtonator did it with him which suddenly raised the temperature of the surrounding as a massive ball of fire slowly condensed in front of Turtonator. Julian who saw the whole process clearly recognized this move, it is called a Z-Move which can only be triggered through the use of Z-crystals which can only be found here in Al. Julian just watched as the dark skin kid did his weird dance along with his pokemon and when they were done dancing, Turtonator sted the giant ball of fire towards the Team Skull goons while the kid yelled "Inferno Overdrive". The massive fireball made contact with everyone in the Team Skull group present in the area, the explosion covered a massive area engulfing almost everything in its path, the destructive powers of this z-move are clearly visible to Julian and he is very impressed by it. The massive ball of explosion continued to expand while the air surrounding it continued to burn up, the shockwave released from the move traveled all over the ce bending some trees in half, soon the massive ball of explosion started to cool down and it looked like it was imploding on itself as it shrunk into nothingness, the only thing left behind is a very big crater with Team Skull goons right in the middle with their pokemons all knocked out cold. The crater is massive but not too deep, Julian is impressed by the area damage this move could do, even with a pokemon like Turtonator which has just started training, it was able to release such a powerful attack, Julian wondered what kind of devastation his Infernape would cause if he gets his hands on one of those z-crystals. The team-skull goons panicked as they saw the state of all their pokemons so they sent them back to their pokeballs and made a run out of fear, Ash who was standing next to the dark skin kid was also mesmerized by the move that he just used. Ash "What was that?" He asked excitedly. "I called a Z-move that only the people of Al can use". The dark-skinned kid said and one could easily hear the pride in his voice as he talked about Al. Ash "That''s so cool, can I get one of those?" Ash asked. "Hmph, do you think you can just find a z-crystal out in the streets? To get a z-crystal, you need toplete an ind trial and gain the acknowledgment of the Ind Kahuna to properly use it". The dark-skinned kid exined. Ash "I see, I can''t want to give this ind trial a try" Ash said carefree. Julian also decided to approach the group as he has no use just standing far away from them so he approached them, Julian walked right towards the entrance of the school. His arrival, of course, grabbed the attention of everyone present and only a few people in the group recognized him, them being Ash, his mom, Principal Oak, and Professor Kukui. Ash "Julian!" Ash was the first one to call him out as he rushed towards him. Ash "Did you see that move? it went like ''ZOOM'' then ''BANG'' then ''GRRGGGG''" Ash started to exin in his own unique way to which Julian just smiled, he couldn''t help but forget that the Ash in front of him is just a 10 year old in this world''s standards, he has watched him growing into an exceptional trainer so he sometimes forgets that he is still just a kid. Julian "Indeed, it was not bad" Julian said and looked at Kukui, one of his few friends in the world. Julian "Kukui, how are you doing?" Julian asked with a smile on his face. Kukui "I am doing great, I was just wondering when you are going to show up, I heard that you arrived yesterday so I thought you would at least give me a visit" Kukui said. Julian "Something came up so I couldn''t and it''s not like you would be going anywhere, you have been coupled up in this ind for quite a while now" Julian said. Kukui "Hahaha, that is true, well it good that you are here. We can talkter when I am free, I have a ss to teach" Kukui said and looked at the children around him, the children were also looking at him and Julian wondering who Julian is, these children are too extroverted to stay at home and watch TV or browse the inte to know about the world''s affairs to know about Julian. They are so focused on things that are going around in Al that they don''t care about the outside world and Julian also doesn''t expect them to know him, they are just kids who seem to have just started getting to know the world of pokemon. Kukui "Ah, Ipletely forgot to introduce you. Kids, this is Julian and he is my friend and he is also a very strong pokemon trainer" Kukui introduced Julian. Julian "Nice to meet you all" Julian said with a smile. "Nice to meet you too, my name is Mallow and this is my pokemon Bounsweet". The girl with the green hair introduced herself first along with her cute little grass-type pokemon showing off that she is the most extroverted out of the group and likes to take charge. "My name is Sophocles and this is my buddy Togedemaru" The chubby blond kid introduced himself with a cute mouse-like pokemon next to him, Julian is seeing this pokemon for the first time in real life, and thebination of electric and steel typing is such a unique type. "My name is Lana and this is my partner Popplio" The blue hair girl introduced herself with her seal-like water pokemon which pped its flippers and greeted Julian. "M... my name is Lillie... Ni...Nice to meet you..." The light blond girl introduced herself and she seems to have a shy demeanor. "My name is Kiawe". Finally, the dark-skinned boy introduced himself and he decided to keep his introduction short, Julian didn''t take any offense to his short introduction because some kids are like that, you can''t force something into them that they aren''t. Julian "Well, once again, nice to meet you all. Principal Samson, I have something to discuss, hope you are not busy". Julian said and put his attention on the Principal as he needs to discuss some very important things with him. Chapter 1232: Totem Pokemons In Danger Chapter 1232: Totem Pokemons In Danger Principal Samson didn''t know what Julian wanted to talk about but that doesn''t mean he would deny his request, he looked at Kukui and signaled him to take the children back to the ss while Julian and he have a talk. Samson "Sure, let''s head to my office". Delia "I will be taking my leave then. Ash, behave and don''t cause trouble". Delia said and left Ash along with other children as Ash wanted to attend the school for the day, Julian and Principal Oak headed back to his office to talk, once they werefortable and sat down on the couch, Principal Oak leaned forward as he felt the conversation he is about to have is a serious one. Samson "So tell me, what is it?" He asked. Clearly concerned about the words that are about toe out of Julian''s mouth. Julian "Principal Oak, I need to learn everything you know about Totem pokemons and if there have been any unusual activities around their habitat" Julian said. Samson "Why though, I don''t get how you will benefit from this at all?" He asked. Julian "It has nothing to do with me, the reason why I came to Al is because of these Totem pokemons and I believe that they are in danger" Julian said. Samson "Danger? Are you sure, these Totem pokemons are extremely strong, I don''t think anyone would be able to cause them any trouble and on top of that, theymand other pokemons in their territory as well, I don''t see how anyone would be able to harm them" He said. Julian "You must be aware of the incident that took ce in the Kalos league right?" Julian asked. Samson "You mean that trainer who took out those ck pokemons to battle against you?" Julian "Indeed, I am here because the people reasonable for converting those pokemons are here in Al and their targets are the totem pokemons that live here, they want to experiment on them" Julian said. Samson "What? but why totem pokemons?" Julian "Because they are the next best thing to a mythical or a second rate legendary pokemon, the people who are being the conversion of these pokemon failed converting mythical and legendary pokemon as they were too strong and resisted the process, resulting in what you saw in Kalos league, the rogue Volcanion that I incapacitated. They want to experiment on totem pokemons and figure out a way to convert those mythical and legendary pokemons to create an army of unstoppable pokemons and you know how dangerous that would be if they seeded." Julian exined. Samson "My god, are you sure about this?" He asked as he is clearly worried about the totem pokemons of Al, these pokemons are only found here in Al and because of the special environment of the inds, they thrive in it. Removing them from their natural habitat and introducing them to conversion experiments might be very harmful to them and might even cost them their lives Samson couldn''t evenprehend how people could do such things. Julian "Look, Principal Oak, I know you have a lot of influence here in Al so I would appreciate it if you inform the localw enforcement of the inds to co-operate with me and help me find these people and put a stop to their n". Julian said. Samson "Don''t worry, I will help you in any way I can". He said and started going through some files in his cab and took them out and handed them over to Julian. Samson "These are all my research on them, everything I know about them has been pointed down in these files, hope they will be of help to you" He said while worrying about these totem pokemons, principal Samson Oak has dedicated all his life to the study of these pokemons and he would be very sad if something happens to them. Julian "Don''t worry principal Oak, I will make sure that nothing happens to them and save the totem pokemons" Julian reassured him. Samson "I will also inform thew enforcement to help you in every way they can" Julian "Thank you, I will be staying here in the school today and go through all these files, if you need something, you can visit me" Julian said and left the principal''s office and headed towards the room provided to him by Samson, the files he received from him are a lot and each file is filled with a lot of information so it will take some time for Julian to go all through them. Entering the squared building on the edge of the school located right next to the ocean, the room is very decent withrge furniture to livefortably, big sliding windows for better sunlight ess, and a spacious balcony for getting the best view of the vast ocean. Julian tossed all the files on the massive bed and took a deep breath. Julian "It is about to be a very long day" He murmured and got to work. Chapter 1233: Break-In In School Chapter 1233: Break-In In School Julian spent hours looking through all the files given to him by principal Oak, he was so lost in his actions that he didn''t notice that it is already night time, the only reason he was alerted about it was that Crystal started bothering him for food. Julian took a deep breath as he knew Crystal won''t stop until he provides the little devil with its food, he got up from his desk and looked outside noticing that it is already very dark. Julian "I had no track of time". He said and quickly fed Crystal, it was clearly frustrated because of not being fed on time but as soon as the food was ced in front of it, it dug inpletely forgetting its frustration with Julian. Julian just smiled as he watched the little devil eat its food, it also brought out its other pokemons and started feeding them. The new addition of Wimpod to his team has brought a change, with him being the very first pokemon in his team this time, he will have to get used to living with the big guys but he is still very timid around them due to his nature. Julian will have a hard time changing Wimpod as its nature is built into it from birth but Julian doesn''t think it is impossible, there are many pokemons in the world that go against their nature because of the life experience they go through. Julian is confident that he will be able to turn his Wimpod into a brave pokemon. He watched as his pokemons continued to eat their food when he noticed his Gengar sensing something outside. Julian "What is it?" He asked Gengar to which Gengar pointed towards the school, Julian frowned and walked out of his room and looked at the school, he could also tell that someone has snuck into principal Oak''s office. Without wasting any time, Julian headed towards his office and when he got there he could hear things being thrown around inside his office, he could also hear there different voicesing from inside, two female, one male. The rustling of paper, drawers being pulled, the sound of books falling on the ground, all this only proved one thing to Julian, whoever is inside is here for some files. Julian didn''t bother standing outside anymore and just pushed through the door catching the three people inside by surprise. These three people thought that they were all alone in the school, they didn''t expect someone else would also be there, they looked at the man that just entered and couldn''t help but form, the man is over 6 feet tall and looked fairly well-shaped. Julian also looked at the three people in front of him and couldn''t help but admire their uniforms, all three of them are wearing silver helmets with tinted visors which cover half of their face, they are also wearing full-body suits which are silver and ck in color. Whoever these people are, they are funded really well by seeing all the gear they are wearing. The three of them quickly took their stance and took out their Pokeball ready to beat up Julian, Julian could onlyugh at their attempt of trying to fight him, little did they know, they are already fucked as Gengar is right under their feet and with just one word from Julian, it will be all over. Julian already has a guess as to who these people are seeing them here trying to find principal Oak''s files and the uniform they are wearing. Julian "You three must be from Cipher" Julian said as he stepped into the office, the three of them became more alerted as they have kept a very low profile here in Al and have not done anything for the local authorities to get suspicious about them so they wondered who this person is and how does he know about their organization. "Who are you?" The male who is standing in front of the two females asked. Julian ''And here I thought, most of the world knows me, guess I am wrong or my ego has just gone up''. Julian thought to himself. Julian "You don''t need to know, I wanted to get my hands on one of you people, so let''s make this quick" Julian said. He knows he won''t have any sess talking to them right now, it''s best if he captures them and then interrogates them afterward. Hearing Julian''s words, the three didn''t even bother saying anything and sent out three pokemons, the pokemons they sent out are normal but they don''t look normal at all, all these three pokemons are dark in color as a ck greyish miasma is hovering over their bodies. They are clearly shadow pokemons as they are not showing any sign of self-will in their eyes, as soon as these pokemons were out, Julian didn''t even bother entertaining the idea of battling them. Julian "Gengar, put them away" He ordered with a cold tone, suddenly multiple tentacles made of shadow burst out of their shadows and wrapped around them tightly frightening them to the core but no matter how much they struggled, they couldn''t escape, even the shadow pokemons were dragged into the shadow realm by Gengar. The three members of Cipher could only watch in horror as their body was slowly getting swallowed by the floor beneath them, too bad for them that no one was present to hear their scream, the only thing they saw was the cold crimson eyes of the man standing in front of them. Chapter 1234: To The Trial Ground Chapter 1234: To The Trial Ground Being dragged into the shadow through the floor is not a pleasant experience as they felt each and every inch of their body being devoured by something unknown, it was the most horrifying thing they ever felt. Once all three of them werepletely devoured, Julian locked the door and left it the way it is, he doesn''t need to clean up after the mess these people made. He returned to his room andy on his bed and went through all the information in his head about totem pokemon that he learned from the files handed him over by principal Oak, he has a basic knowledge about them and he knows where they like to live. Though the Al inds are smallpared to other regions when ites to poption size andndmass but it is still very big, there might be a lot of totem pokemon on the ind that the residents have no idea of. The known areas where the totem pokemon of Al inds reside are called trial grounds so if anything happens there, the locals will get the wind of it so Cipher wouldn''t dare target those totem pokemon. They will be after the ones that are rtively unknown or are rumored to exist, it will be hard for others to track them down but Julian can do it with the help of his pokemon, he needs to bring some of his old pokemon back into action and let them scout all the inds for these totem pokemon. Having nned what he wants to do, he turned off the lights and went to sleep. The next morning, he was woken up by the bright sunlight entering through the window and hitting his face, he stretched his body and meditated for a while before walking out into the veranda and looking at the endless ocean. He could hear the voices of children running around near the school as the school has already started, he smiled and walked out of his room and headed towards the school, on his way to the school, he was seen by many students and they were very curious about this new face. They have never seen this man before, they wondered why this stranger is staying in the school and what he is here to do. Julian headed towards principal Samson''s office to ask him about something. When he got there, he found Samson standing outside his office with a frown, Julian already guessed the reason behind the frown on his face. When he got close to Samson, he saw a few workers inside his office cleaning the mess, Samson saw Julian and weed him. Julian "What happened to your office?" Julian asked even though he knows exactly what happened here, he didn''t want to tell that he was involved with this incident in any shape or form. Samson "Somebody broke into my office in search of something but it looks like they didn''t find what they were looking for". He said. Julian "Do you have any idea what they were looking for?" Julian asked wanting to know how much Samson knows about the current situation. Samson "I guess they were after the files I handed over to you since I am not missing anything important, it must be those people you were talking about" Samson said. Julian had to admit that Samson is very smart and he was right on with his guess, Cipher hade to take away his research but they failed miserably. Julian "I see. Well, actually I wanted to ask some questions before I take my leave" Julian said. Samson "Go on, I won''t bite" Samson said andughed. Julian "These totem pokemons? What kind of ces do they prefer to build their nest and how do I find them?" Samson "Hmm, it actually depends on the type of totem pokemon it is, Al is home to hundreds of them and they are all over the inds hidden far away from the human eye, if you want to find them, you need to find ces with extremely rich energy, a ce where Z-Crystals are naturally created". Samson answered. Julian "I wanted to know, how do these Z-Crystals form?" Samson "That is the biggest mystery of the Al inds, many people tried to figure out why they can only be found in Al and how they are formed but no one has seeded. The only answer that everyone agrees on is that Al has a special energy that helps to create these Z-Crystals and nobody knows where this energyes from" Samson exined. Julian nodded his head and decided to take his leave. He wanted to visit one of the trial grounds and check out if he could find anything that could help him find the undiscovered trial grounds. Julian bid his farewell to Samson and exited the school and headed towards the mountain path that would lead him to his very first trail ground. The trial ground closest to him is in the verdant cavern and he hopes to find some of his answers there. Chapter 1235: Interrogation About Cipher Chapter 1235: Interrogation About Cipher As soon as Julian took the mountain path, he was greeted by a dense tropical forest that seems to cover most of the ind, if this man-made mountain path didn''t exist, people would easily get lost in here. Julian continued up the mountain path and soon noticed that it was a very hard uphill walk found most people, without endurance one won''t be able to go up this mountain path unless one uses a ride pokemon to fly over the forest or ride its back on the ground. But before Julian decided to enter the cavern, he wanted to interrogate the three goons he caught yesterday night, he told Gengar to bring out the perpetrators so he can start questioning them. The three Cipher members emerged out of the ground through the dark shadow portal that Gengar created. When the three came out of the ground, their face was filled with shock and confusion, they wondered what is going to happen to them now. Since they were bound by chains made of shadow, they couldn''t move. They only saw the tall man standing in front of them. How could they forget the face of this man, he is the reason behind them being dragged into hell and getting tortured by the demon living there. They were angry at the man in front of them but what they felt the most for this man was fear, they dreaded this man, they didn''t want to go through the same experience ever again. Seeing their blown-out face and the paleness of their skin, Julian could tell that Gengar must have messed with them a lot. Julian took a step towards them causing all three of them to flinch from fear, they thought that the man might hit them but he didn''t, Julian took out a chair from his pouch and sat down in front of the three goons and looked at them. Julian "Tell me, how long have Cipher been on Al inds?" Julian asked. He doesn''t need to torture them as they seem to be already broken, but if they resist, he will begin his own torture, they have already gone through mental torture and if he introduces physical torture into the mix, they will break like bricks. The male who was tied between the two females looked at him and quickly answered. He didn''t want to get tortured again. Male Grunt "We have only been in Al for a few weeks now" He answered. Julian ''Looks like I got here right on time'' Julian "Has your organization found any totem pokemon yet?" Male Grunt "No! That is why we were asked to get Samson Oak''s research" The male grunt answered. Julian was relieved hearing this, he was d that they have not captured any pokemon yet. Julian "Where is your base located in Al?" Julian asked. Male Grunt "It''s in Poni Ind but the base is still being constructed, the leaders are not here yet, only members of my ranking and below are currently present on the ind" He answered. Julian "When will your leaders arrive?" Male Grunt "I don''t know, we don''t have ess to such information" He answered. Julian clicked his tongue in frustration, it would have been a lot easier if these grunts knew a little more but it looks like he is out of luck. Julian has no more questions for these grunts, they were useless to him but he can''t keep them trapped in Gengar''s shadow dimension forever. Julian [Gengar, erase their memory of who they are and toss them near the sea bed, someone will find and help them] Julian ordered. Gengar came out of his shadow and pounced on the three, the three of them were terrified but they couldn''t do anything, soon they lost consciousness and were carried away by Gengar. They will never remember what happened to them and how they got here, they will forget their association with Cipher, Julian was doing them a favor by allowing them to return to society. He also took away all their equipment so they don''t get tracked down by Cipher. Gengar returned shortly empty-handed and returned to his shadow. Julian then continued up the mountain path and headed towards the Verdant cavern. From what he knows from Principal Samson''s files, the totem pokemon that lives in Verdant cavern is a normal type pokemon called Gumshoos, this pokemon is native to Al and is a predator by nature. They are known to be very intelligent and will stock their prey before striking when they find the right opportunity, Gumshoos arepletely different from their pre-evolution Yungoos as Yungoos are very active hunters because of their endless hunger which is caused by their fast digestion. As Julian went through all the information he found about these two pokemons who are the dominant species in the cavern, he wondered if he should catch one but after considering it for a while he decided not to. At the end of the day, the potential of this pokemon is lowpared to other pokemons Julian has caught in his past. After moving around in the forest for a few more hours, he finally found the Verdant Cavern where he will encounter his first totem pokemon. As he stood outside the cavern, he could feel the change in his surrounding as the aura in the air got very thickpared to before, this part of thend is clearly blessed and any pokemon living in it should be very strong. Chapter 1236: Inside The Cavern Chapter 1236: Inside The Cavern Before Julian even entered the cavern, he could tell that this ce is extraordinary, just the air around this ce is filled with a special kind of power that made it richer than the air elsewhere around the ind. Julian took a deep breath and took in the thick rich air and walked into the Cavern, the entrance of the cavern is covered with long vines draping down from the tall trees in the front, As soon as Julian entered the cavern, the environment around him changedpletely, this ce didn''t seem real at all because of how drastic it was, the leaves from the tall trees and trees growing on top of the cavern blocked most of the sunlight from hitting the ground and the very little amount of light that escapes through the leaves looked like light raysing from heaven. The structures in this cavern are also very unique as there are many different, some of them are clearly man-made like wooden bridges that connect one part of the cavern to another, there also seem to be some fallen trees that could also be used as bridges to move around in the upper part of the cavern. Julian also noticed a lot of borrows and holes everywhere around the cavern, these borrows and holes clearly house pokemons in them, he could also feel a lot of eyes locked onto him, they were from the pokemons who are curious about him but are too afraid to approach him. Julian didn''t bother with these hidden pokemons as he was not here to catch any pokemons. He did look into the pokemons that can be found in this cavern and found out that this cavern is filled with Aln Rattata, Aln Raticate, Yungoos, and Gumshoos, these four pokemons dominate the cavern and fight for the right to rule it. There are of course other pokemons but they have little to no control over the cavern, right now the Gumshoos line is the ruling party here because the totem pokemon is a Gumshoos but it can be overthrown if a Raticate is able to take its ce, and be the new totem pokemon. As Julian made deeper into the cavern, he was suddenly confronted by a group of Rattata led by a Raticate, Julian looked at the mischief of Al Rattata and Raticate and couldn''t help but wonder what caused them to be so different from the Rattata and Raticate found in Kalos and other regions. (A/N - A group of rats is called mischief) People say that Al is the best ce for pokemon to thrive and live but Julian knows everything is not ck and white, the climate of Al might be beneficial to some pokemons and might be disastrous to others, Julian wondered what caused the Rattatas and Raticates to go through adaptation process causing the change. Seeing the mischief growling at him with aggression, it is very clear that they are hostile towards him and they will attack him. Julian didn''t have any pokemons that could be suitable for this battle right now, his Wimpod is still very young and has not started training yet, his other pokemons are too powerful for Julian to even bother taking them out for a battle. He sighed and let Gengar swipe them away. Before the mischief could evenunch an assault on Julian, a tentacle made of shadow appeared from right below them and sweep them away with one big swing, Gengar didn''t have to put any effort behind it at all as if he is just throwing out trash. Julian chuckled and continued deeper into a cavern but he was once again stopped by two Yungoos who were trying their best to intimidate him but they were unsessful, just like the mischief of Rattatas and Raticate, the two Yungoos were swept away. Julian continued further and he was intercepted by more Yungoos and Gengar had to sweep them away again, Julian realized that he is deep inside Yungoos'' territory now. Being the ruling force of this cavern, the Yungoos should have ess to the central part of the territory where most of them will reside indicating to Julian that he is close to his target. The deeper Julian went, the more pokemons that obstructed his path, even some Gumshoos who were the leader of a pack obstructed his path but their efforts were useless. Soon Julian arrived in front of an open wide area that is surrounded by massive rocks and tall trees as its leaves covered the whole area while the branches acted like a wall putting an end to the cavern. Julian looked around and he could feel, the overwhelming aura inside this area that ising from underground, whatever is feeding this cavern energy is right below this area. He also noticed a cave high above between the massive branches, and inside this cave, he could tell that there is a very power pokemon staring at him which was soon followed up by a low growl. Chapter 1237: Florges Vs Totem Gumshoos Chapter 1237: Florges Vs Totem Gumshoos Julian took out his Pokeball as he knew that the pokemon that is about to enter his sight is at least a champion-level pokemon. The pokemon slowly walked out of its cave as its eyes locked onto Julian, its head was slowly revealed to Julian and he was very surprised seeing the size of this pokemon. It''s not the biggest pokemon he has ever seen,pared to some of the massive pokemons, this one is very small, what surprised Julian is the size discrepancy between this pokemon and the pokemon of the same species. This pokemon is the totem pokemon of Verdant Cavern, Gumshoos. An average Gumshoos only grow about 0.7 meters tall but this totem pokemon is almost as tall as Julian, which is three times as big as an average Gumshoos. Even Julian''s own pokemon who are fed the best and exposed to Omniforce have such exceptional growth. The totem Gumshoos jumped from its high situated cave onto the ground and growled at Julian, Julian looked at the totem Gumshoos and could tell that this one is as strong as an elite level pokemon which confused him. He was sure, he felt something stronger from inside the cave and he is also sure that this Gumshoos is the source behind it. Before Julian could think of how to deal with this Gumshoos in front of him, itunched itself towards him very aggressively trying its best to dig its teeth into Julian. Julian quickly jumped to the side and dodged Gumshoos and threw his Pokeball in front of him releasing Florges. Florges came out of her Pokeball and stared down the massive Gumshoos which continued to growl angrily at Julian and now Florges. Julian didn''t expect Gumshoos to be so aggressive, principal Samson didn''t specify this Gumshoos being aggressive at all, he even stated that he personally interacted with Gumshoos and didn''t feel threatened. So Julian started to wonder why Gumshoos is being so aggressive right now. Gumshoos pounced on Florges with every inch of its body bursting with power, Florges didn''t bother to dodge Gumshoos and used Energy Ball and sent it shooting towards Gumshoos. The Energy Ball hit Gumshoos right on its face sending the giant flying through the air, it''s body crashed against the trunk of a tree extremely hard causing the tree to shake and leaves to fall down along with some fruits hanging on it. The Gumshoos grunted in pain and got back to its feet through some struggle, for the first time since it became a totem pokemon, it lost an exchange against another pokemon. It suddenly roared and did something that caught Julian by surprise, as soon as it roared, the energy around the whole area suddenly started to rush towards the Gumshoos and fuse into it, the Gumshoos suddenly grew a little more, like a field of energy started to pulse around it. Julian suddenly felt the power of Gumshoos skyrocket, from an elite level it directly jumped directly towards the champion level, maybe even stronger than a champion level pokemon. Julian "Now things are getting interesting" Julian said as he felt the energy around Gumshoos has the same signature as the energy from a Z-move. Julian ''Is this aura the reason behind the creation of Z-crystals?'' Julian thought to himself as he let the Gumshoos continue to get stronger, once the Gumshoos was fully powered up, it opened its mouth wide open and used Hyper Beam. The Hyper Beam that it released out of its mouth was also way more powerful than Julian expected, it was not only the Gumshoos that reached champion level but even its attacks seem to have been boosted in power. This Hyper Beam should be able to take out even a champion-level pokemon if one gets hit and Julian isn''t taking chances. Julian "Use Moonst" Florges lifted her hands up in the air as the flower garden around her neck started to glow pulsating with limitless energy, suddenly a massive ball of energy appeared above her head. The energy ball then shot a powerful concentrated beam at the iing Hyper Beam and intercepted it, the two moves shed causing a deafening sound to wash over the whole cavern, the sound could be heard even at the entrance of the cavern as its sound waves bounced all the way till there. The two moves seem to be equally matched in power as one tried to overpower the other, the Gumshoos soon started to tire out as the Hyper Beam took a lot of energy out of it. Even with the boosted power from the energy source, it couldn''t keep using the Hyper Beam. Being a wild pokemon, it isn''t as efficient at using its energypared to a trained champion-level pokemon of Julian, that is Florges. Soon Florges''s Moonst was able to overpower the Hyper Beam by concentrating all of its energy into a single point splitting the Hyper Beam right through the middle. The Moonst then continued forward and hit Gumshoos right in its mouth and sent it flying through the air, the Gumshoos crashed hard against the massive tree trunk once again but it was able to get up. The energy aura around it continued to pulse but it looks much weaker than before, Julian was not going to miss this chance and let the Gumshoos recover. Julian decided to end it. Julian "Use Sr Beam" Florges started to collect energy from the sunlight seeping through the gaps on top, once she was charged up, she locked onto Gumshoos and sted it at full power. Gumshoos could only watch with its eyes wide open as it just got to its feet and came face to face with a Sr Beam. The Sr Beam hit Gumshoos right on its face and pressed it hard against the tree trunk and continued to push its face deeper into the tree, once the Sr Beam stopped, Gumshoos''s head could be seen pressed against the tree trunk with it beingpletely out cold. Chapter 1238: Secret To Totem Pokemons Chapter 1238: Secret To Totem Pokemons Now that the totem pokemon was knocked out, Julian has some time to check the environment and figure out why a totem pokemon has such a drastic differencepared to other pokemons here. Julian "Florges, keep an eye on it". Julian said and started to look around while he spread his Omniforce everywhere to scan the area, the most interesting ce in this area is of course the cave that is high up against the walls of the cavern. Julian used his agility and leg strength to do a few jumps and arrived in front of it, the cave in front of him looked very dark with no light entering it. He took out a shlight and entered the cave. The cave was not too big so Julian didn''t have to look for much before he found some interesting things, first and foremost he found a special crystal stuck on a shiny colorful surface, this special crystal is none other than a Z-Crystal. Julian looked at this Z-Crystal and identified it as the Normalium Z, the normal type Z-Crystal allows a pokemon to use the move called Breakneck Blitz. Julian smiled and removed the Z-Crystal from the wall and stored it in his pouch and started to look around the cave, he found several shiny surfaces around the cave which has an indent in them, these indents have a simr shape to a Z-Crystal indicating that this is where the Z-Crystals form. Seeing so many indents inside the cave, Julian wondered how often these Z-Crystals form, he also saw an iplete Z-Crystal forming in one of these indents. Julian got curious and used his Omniforce to check the indents and found energy flowing through the shiny surface and into the indents forming the Z-Crystal, it was not only this one particr Indent, every shiny surface that seems to being from the ground and connecting to the ceiling is being provided this energy. Julian looked up and found the spot where all the shiny surface is meeting and found something intriguing, he found a ntnding upside down that is filled with energy. Julian "So this is the reason behind its strength" Julian said as he looked at the bud that is still far away from maturity, this nt was brimming with energy and this should be the reason behind the gigantism. Julian wanted to take this nt with him but seeing how this nt has not grown even after feeding on so much energy, he would be taking something very important from the totem Gumshoos who needs it more than Julian. Julian looked around and found a few more nts around the cave but they didn''t have the same energy as the previous one but they still had some energy in them, Julian decided to take them with him to research. After picking up a few nts, he walked out of the cave to find another pokemon knocked out by Florges, this pokemon is none other than a giant Raticate. This Raticate is big but not as big as the Gumshoos, Julian approached the Raticate and inspected it. He already guessed what happened here, Raticate might have tried to sneak in but got stopped by Florges. Julian inspected Raticate and found the same kind of energy that is inside Gumshoos but the energy inside Raticate is slowly fading away causing it to lose its size. Julian "I see, so these pokemon rely on that nt to grow bigger and stronger, if they stop eating it, they will slowly lose their size and power. It looks like Gumshoos was able to get its hands on the nt and consumed it and overthrew the Raticate and became the ruling totem pokemon of this cavern. For Raticate to gain back its position, it needs to get that nt. Now that Julian knows how totem pokemons are born along with how Z-Crystals are formed, he was done here, he sent Florges back to her Pokeball and walked out of the cavern. As soon as he left, the cavern became lively again as the pokemons inside started to battle. With both leaders down and out, it is up to their followers to win back the cavern so that their leader can regain control of the cavern again. Julian didn''t bother to stay around and check what happens in the tavern, right now he wants to go back and talk to principal Samson and discuss what happened today. It took him an hour to get back to the school but when he got back to the school was still in process so he had to wait around till all the sses ended. Julian watched as children came running out of their sses and left the school so he went to Samson''s office and waited for his arrival, though he is the principal, he does teach a few sses so he is always not avable at the principal''s office. Julian had to wait for a few minutes for principal Samson to arrive and when he did, both of them immediately entered Samson''s office, as Julian had a lot to discuss with Samson. Chapter 1239: Visiting Kukui Chapter 1239: Visiting Kukui Samson "You seem to be in a hurry to talk" Samson said as he saw Julian waiting right outside his office, once they got in and sat down Samson got very curious as to why Julian is here. Julian "Actually I visited one of the trial grounds today, the Verdant Cavern". Samson "Oh, what happened?" Julian "As specified in your files, I did meet the totem Gumshoos there but there was something off about it". Samson "What was it?" He asked. Julian "You specified that even though Gumshoos is very territorial, it is not very aggressive but the pokemon I met today was theplete opposite, as soon as I entered the area it resides, it attacked it. It tried to kill me from the get-go". Julian said. Samson frowned hearing this, this is very rare as most totem pokemons might be territorial and will attack trespassers but they don''t try to kill, especially humans, pokemons are smart and totem pokemons are even smarter, they know that killing a human would only lead to more trouble for them so they try their best to avoid killing one. If what Julian said is true, then other trainers who want to visit the trail grounds might be at risk. Samson "Can you go into detail as to what happened?" He asked. Julian nodded his head and started telling everything that happened, how he had to battle and subdue it, how he found a z-crystal inside its dwelling, about the nt that is growing on the ceiling of the cave. Samson was surprised to hear everything that came out of Julian''s mouth but what surprised him the most was the nt that Julian talked about, throughout his whole life here in Al, he never knew about this nt. The reason why he didn''t know about it is that no one has ever tried to enter a totem pokemon''s dwelling, a totem pokemon is almost as strong as a legendary pokemon and no one wants to risk angering them just to look into their dwelling. But Julian did it, he went into the totem pokemon, knocked it out, looked into its dwelling, and found the secret behind their totem transformation. All this knowledge was new to him and he wanted to learn more but he also knew that it is not the priority right now, right now he needs to focus on one that Julian said, Julian said that there was something wrong with the totem Gumshoos behavior. Samson "I don''t know why the Gumshoos would be so aggressive, from what you told me, it seems to have been already provoked before you arrived there or it would have no reason to just outright try to kill you" Julian "What you say might be true" Julian said and pondered about it. Samson "Could it be those people that you talked about?" Samson asked. Julian "You mean the Cipher? I could be them but I have no idea. If there was only a way we could prove their involvement in this". Julian said and wondered if he can find anything tracks left behind by these people. At the end of the day, it''s just spection that Cipher was involved, there are infinite possibilities that something else could be involved in Gumshoos behavior. Samson was also pondering about it when he thought of something. Samson "Wait, there is something, the whole forest around Verdant cavern is fitted with wildlife motion capture cameras, maybe you can find something in them". Samson said. Hearing this Julian was relieved, if he could find something rted to Cipher in these cameras, it could be an easy fix for Julian as he will just need to hunt them down and take them out but if Cipher is not rted to this incident, he knows that an ordinary trainer''s life might be at risk. So he hopes it''s Cipher and not an unknown factor. He talked with Samson for a few more minutes before deciding to leave the old man to himself, even though the school is over, Samson still has a lot of work to do. Julian doesn''t n to visit the forest again right now, he ns to visit Kukui and talk with him a little, though Principal Samson is a lead researcher when ites to pokemon variants and totem pokemons, he doesn''t know everything. Now that Julian has learned that Z-moves and the secret to totem pokemons are one and the same and he wanted to know a little more about Z-moves and the most qualified person on this ind is none other than his friend Kukui. He already knows where Kukui lives so he won''t get lost looking for Kukui, Kukui lives right next to the beach so it won''t be hard to find his house. When Julian got close to the beach, it only took him a few minutes to find Kukui''s house, the house is decent in size and is made of wood but it looks very good. Julian approached Kukui''s house and noticed a little pokemon running around and ying in the sand, Julian looked at this puppy like pokemon and couldn''t help but smile. It''s a Rockruff. The little pokemon was ying around when it suddenly lifted its head up and looked at Julian who just arrived, the little puppy rushed towards Julian with its tongue out and started to run around Julian and smell his legs. Chapter 1240: Kukuis House Chapter 1240: Kukui''s House Julian crouched down to Rockruff''s level and handed out his fist for Rockruff to sniff and get familiar with his scent, Rockruff stopped and sniffed Julian''s hand and started to breathe excitedly with its tongue out. It then started to rub the rocks around its neck against Julian''s legs, since these rocks around its neck are pointed they poked into his skin which irritated him but he didn''t mind the little one as he knows this is how they express their affection. The little Rockruff clearly liked Julian and wanted to y with him but Julian has other things to do so he called out Wimpod and Crystal to y with Rockruff while he talks to Kukui, he walked towards Kukui''s house and knocked on the front door. It took a few seconds for the door to open and the person who stood in front of Julian is none other than Kukui, Kukui looked at Julian and was surprised by his visit which soon turned into a big smile. Kukui "I was wondering when you will visit?" Kukui said and looked outside to see Rockruff ying with some pokemons, he recognized the two pokemons, one of them being a Wimpod and the other being a very unique pokemon who belongs to Julian. He has seen Crystal before but he never bothered to learn more about it, he is not an expert in pokemon species so he decided to not ask much about it. Kukui invited Julian into his house, Julian entered the wooden house and looked around, though the ce was not big from the outside, it looks very spacious from the inside, and he also saw some children''s clothes lying on the floor. He recognized those clothes as they belong to none other than Ash. Julian "So Ash is staying with you?" Julian asked. Kukui "Yes, his mom requested me to take care of him and it''s nice to have someone around as it gets very lonely for a single guy like me, hahahaha" He said andughed. Julian "What about the girl you told me about? What was her name?... Ah yes, Bu, still haven''t made your move?" Julian asked and sat down on the couch. Kukui "Let''s not talk about it" Kukui said and tried to change the subject but Julian was not going to let it go. Julian "I can''t believe I am friends with someone who is afraid to talk to a girl". Julian said while exaggerating. Kukui "And I don''t understand how you can handle three at once" Kukui replied. Julian just smiled and didn''t say anything, if he told Kukui that he has more women in his life other than his fianc¨¦es, he might lose his head. Julian "Well, it looks like you will be single for the rest of your life, I suggest you buy some dolls, they can be helpful in battling your loneliness" Julian continued to tease him but Kukui decided to not indulge Julian any further as this might go on for hours. Kukui "So why are you here, you are a very busy man and you clearly don''t have time to spare for your friends" Kukui said. Julian "Haha, you know me very well, I am actually here to learn a little about Z-moves, and you clearly are the most qualified person on this ind who knows about it". Julian said. Hearing Julian''s words made Kukui smug as he puffed his chest with pride, and he should be proud as he is one of the great minds of this world and he is very young as well, making him a very famous name in his field. Kukui "Why are you so interested in Z-Moves all of a sudden?" He asked. Julian "Well I found out something very interesting and I wanted to know how Z-moves work to see if there is anything that could help me with my investigation". Julian answered while keeping his answer somewhat vague, he didn''t want Kukui to get too involved in something that can be dangerous and knowing the type of person Kukui is, he won''t stand back and just watch if he learns that some people are trying to kidnap the totem pokemons of the ind. Kukui felt Julian was hiding something from him but he decided not to pry in, he knows the type of work Julian does and if he thinks something should not be shared then it is in the best interest of everyone. Kukui "Okay, so what do you want to know?" Julian "How does it work and what is the catalyst for the energy to transfer from the stones to the pokemon?" Julian asked. He has seen a Z-move in action and he has seen how a pokemon''s move gets a massive boost in power with the help of Z-moves but he doesn''t understand how it is possible without a physical link. For example, Mega Evolution is something that can be considered simr but instead of changing the moves of a pokemon, it changes the pokemon itself and for it to work, the involvement of both keystones and Megan stones is needed. These stones act as a bridge that provides the necessary energy for a pokemon to mega evolve but Z-crystals are very different, they don''t have anything that could act as a bridge to transfer the power to a pokemon. If these crystals were attached directly to the pokemon then it would have made sense as they would be directly channeling the power but it is the trainers that hold them and do some weird dance to trigger the transfer of power. Kukui "You are asking the wrong questions, like many mysterious things in this world, it is still unknown as to how Z-crystals really work. Throughout my research, I myself have asked many questions like how do they work, why don''t the pokemon themselves hold onto a z-crystals like mega stones, why is it that the trainer needs to hold these crystals, and why do they need to perform special movements for the z-moves to trigger. I had so many questions at the beginning but I couldn''t find any answers but the search for the answers did lead me to a very special finding". Kukui said with a smile and Julian got intrigued by hearing it. Julian "What did you find?" Julian asked curiously. Kukui "Wait a minute". Kukui said and headed towards his desk and took out a file and handed it over to Julian. Julian "What is it?" He asked. Kukui "Check it out first". He said with an excited tone. Chapter 1241: The Blinding One Chapter 1241: The Blinding One Julian opened the file to check out what it was that made Kukui so excited to talk about, as he opened the file he read a very eye-catching title "The Blinding One". Julian raised his brows and continued to read through, as he continued to read he found it very intriguing, this Blinding One that the people of ancient times called seems to be the sole reason behind the current Al. Julian closed the file and looked at Kukui who looked back at him. Julian "So you are saying, everything that is special about Al is because of this Blinding One?" Kukui "Well I don''t have any proof to back the im but everything I found about the Blinding One is from ancient texts that I stumbled upon". He answered. Julian didn''t say anything and started to ponder about it, from what he read this Blinding One is clearly a pokemon and not from this world, this alien pokemon came to this world and shared its light causing the changes. Well, it was not the whole world and only Al but he couldn''t me the people of ancient times as they lived under a well thinking that Al is the only region and considered it the whole world and it was a verymon way of thinking in ancient times. With this blinding one sharing its light with Al, it changed the whole region causing it to go through massive changes making the inds a better ce for living for both people and pokemon and its light also gave birth to this magical energy that can be found in Al. The same energy can be found in z-crystals and totem pokemons. He also read about how this blinding one lost its light after sharing it with the world but it recovered its power after absorbing energy provided by the people and pokemon of Al along with the two legendary pokemons of Al, Solgaleo, and Lun. Julian doesn''t know anything about these legendary pokemons, he did some research on myths here in Al and he dide across the name Solgaleo and Lun but he never knew why they were revered here. After reading about the Blinding one, he was able to connect some missing dots but there is still a huge gap that needs to be filled. Julian "So what happened to this Blinding one, where did it go?" Julian asked. Kukui "After recovering, it left as said in the legends". Julian "What about Solgaleo and Lun?" Kukui "Unlike the Blinding One, they have made multiple appearances in Al in the past and have been witnessed protecting Al". Julian put the file on the desk in front of him and took a deep sigh but there are still a lot of questions he needs answers to. Julian "This answers some of my questions but there is still so much I don''t know, I still don''t know how that weird dancees to y when performing a Z-move". Julian said. Kukui "Well, it is really hard to exin how it works but from my own experience, it depends on how much a trainer and their pokemons arepatible and trusts each other". Kukui replied. Julian thought about it for a second, it was the same as mega evolution, if a pokemon and its trainer do not understand and trust each other, the mega-evolutions will either not work or be botched. It was as if the whole universe has been programmed in such a way that people and pokemon are forced to work together for a better oue. Julian "You have used Z-moves right?" Kukui "Indeed, I even have a special Z-crystal". He said and showed his unique Z-crystal, the Incinium-Z. Julian did read about these special Z-crystals and how they arepletely different from a normal Z-crystal, these special z-crystals only work with a specific pokemon, for example, the Incinium-Z that Kukui has can only work with an Incineroar. But that is not all, the Incineroar also needs to learn a very specific move called Darkest Lariat. These Z-crystals only work with a specific pokemon who knows a specific move, unlike a normal Z-crystal that can turn any move of its simr typing to a powerful Z-move. Julian "So tell me, how does it feel when you perform these Z-moves?" Julian asked. Kukui ced his fingers on his chin and started to think of a way to exin it to Julian. Kukui "Hmm... How do I put it? Ah, yes, when I use a Z-move with the intended ritual, I suddenly feel connected to my pokemon both body and soul, suddenly the Z-crystal on my wrist feels hot and the connection I feel with my pokemon gets stronger. It feels like a water pipe is attached to my wrist with its other end connected to my pokemon". Kukui''s exnation was clear and it made a lot of sense and Julian was able to rte to it, the process was very simr to his Infernape''s ability Resonance, it allowed Julian to connect with Infernape and provide him with Omniforce, the obvious difference being that the connection is directly between their hearts instead of an item involved. Julian ''If the process is simr to Resonance then maybe I don''t have to do that weird dance'' Julian thought. Julian ''But first, I need to see a Z-move being performed a few more times and then try it myself'' Julian thought and looked at Kukui. Julian "Why don''t you show me a few Z-moves" Julian said. Kukui "I can do that but why?" Julian "I just want to see if I can use a Z-move without the weird dance moves". Julian said. Kukui "Are they really weird though?" Kukui asked. Julian "Definitely weird". Kukui "Well, whatever, so do you have a Z-crystal?" Julian "Yes, I recently got my hands on a Normalium-Z from the trial ground". Julian said and took out the Normalium-Z and showed it to Kukui. Kukui "Great but you still need a Z-ring, it''s essential for using a Z-move". Julian "Z-ring?" Kukui "Yes, it is made up of a special material found here in Al that helps people use a Z-move" Julian "Where can I get one?" Kukui "You should ask the Ind Kahuna, he should be able to provide you with one". Julian "Great, I will ask him then, but first your demonstration" Julian said. Kukui "Let''s go outside then". Kukui said and walked out of the house and Julian followed him into the beach. Chapter 1242: Malicious Moonsault Chapter 1242: Malicious Moonsault Following Kukui out of the house, they both arrived on the beach where they were greeted by the sight of three pokemons ying and rolling around in the sand, seeing Julian walk out of the house, all three pokemons rushed towards him and started to run around him excitedly. Kukui "Pokemons really love you, don''t they?" Kukui said as he saw howfortable Rockruff was around Julian, he has been looking after this Rockruff from the day it hatched out of its egg and till now it has never shown so much affection to someone other than him. Julian "I do have a special charm". Julian said and crouched down to pet Rockruff, seeing that Rockruff was trying to horde all the attention, Crystal and Wimpod also jumped into his arms wanting his attention. Julian yed with the pokemons while Kukui took out a Pokeball and released his pokemon from inside, the pokemon that made its way out of the Pokeball is of course an Incineroar. With the entrance of Incineroar the pokemons who were ying with Julian curiously looked at the big red pokemon, Julian also looked at the Incineroar and could tell that it''s been raised very well. Incineroar stood tall with its arms crossed and arrogance written all over its face, one could easily tell that it has lived a life filled with many wins and very few losses making it very arrogant, the Incineroar is standing 6 feet tall, it has a very intimidating look on its face, its arms and legs are massive and the ws on its hands are long and sharp. Julian could easily tell that this Incineroar is definitely a peek elite-level pokemon. Julian "That''s one hell of a pokemon, you got there". Julian said as he observed the Incineroar. Kukui "Well he is my partner and I did grow up with him, I may not be as good as you in training pokemons but I still know better than most people". Kukui said. Julian "Well then, what are you waiting for, let me see what he is capable of" Julian said, got back to his feet, and watched Kukui get ready. Kukui "Let''s do this". Kukui said and looked at his Incineroar, his Incineroar turned and looked at the sea and got ready, and with one swift motion Kukui began to move, and along with him Incineroar moved as well, they both seem to be in perfect sync when suddenly Incineroar''s body started to get surrounded by z-energy and it started to power it. Incineroar let out a mighty roar and suddenly created a massive square tform over the sea, once the square formed, Incineroar used all its power and jumped very high up in the sky and did multiple moonsaults as dark energy swirled around its body causing it to spin faster and faster, every millisecond the power around Incineroarpressed and grew in power. It didn''t even take a few seconds before Incineroar made an impact on the energy square tform that is created, as soon as the impact happened, the square imploded on itself and created a powerful shockwave while alsopletely evaporating the seawater below it. A massive 50 diameter of water disappeared into nothingness before it was refilled again, Julian watched this and was really surprised by the power Incineroar disyed with this one move. (A/N - The move Malicious Moonsault had a wrestling ring instead of a square tform in the games, I decided to change it as it felt weird) This one move can even take out a full-powered mega evolved champion level pokemon, this z-energy is stronger than he expected meaning that the pokemon it came from must be ridiculously powerful as well. And this power is not even when it is its strongest, this power was provided by this pokemon 1000s of years ago and it still has so much to give, if this pokemon for some reason decided to go rouge, the world is in trouble and he cannot do anything about it. He could fight it but he will have to fight it out of this world, just the impact of this fight might destroy the world, the more Julian started to learn about this pokemon, the more worried he started to get. One thing Julian has learned about this world is that it likes to throw a lot of trouble at the people who live here and to bnce it out, people like Ash are born and now he has be a part of it as well. But the most important thing right now is that he understands how a z-move really works and he really doesn''t have to do the weird little dance to perform it, he just needs to find the perfect wavelength and with a little help of his Omniforce, he can easily do it. He took out his Normalium-Z and looked at it, Crystal looked at the little crystal in his hand and got excited, it could tell that Julian just found a new toy to y with. It floated in front of his hand and looked at it with his curious cute eyes. Kukui also saw the z-crystal and spoke. Kukui "Now you just need a z-ring, you can get one from Kahuna H, he should be able to make you one". Julian "Yes, I will be heading there right now". Julian said and got ready to leave, he sent his Wimpod back to his Pokeball and bid farewell to both Kukui and his pokemons. Kahuna H lives right in the middle of the ind and that is where Julian will find him. Chapter 1243: Meeting Kahuna Hala Chapter 1243: Meeting Kahuna H Julian made his way towards the middle of the ind to find Kahuna H, being the ind Kahuna, he is the most important person on this ind, he takes care of most problems here on the ind and Julian thinks H can help him deal with the situation that is happening here in Al. Finding the residence where H lives was not hard at all, the area that he lives in has a massive alter right in the middle where most of the ind events are held, and people from all over the inde here whenever there is a massive asion rted to the ind and H is also responsible for arranging it. Julian arrived near H''s residence and looked at his surrounding, he saw a massive alter right in the middle which has been painted with colorful colors, there are multiple little colorful gs hanging over his head which is tied to multiple poles. He saw the locals walking around talking to each other with big smiles on their faces, it looks like the people that live here are very content with their life here. Julian then started looking for H and he was not hard to find at all, everyone on the ind knows who H is and he just needed to stop someone and ask where H lives, the stranger pointed to where H lived. Julian walked towards the biggest house in the area and knocked on its front door, soon after a few seconds the door opened and a fat old man stood in front of Julian. He stood about 5''7 and weight about 110 to 120 kg, he has white hair, a mustache, and eyebrows, his eyes are squinted and it looks like he likes to keep them that way. H looked at Julian with surprise, he didn''t expect the new residents of Melemele ind to give him a visit. H "I didn''t expect Sir Julian to visit me". He said. His voice sounded deep and heavy, a perfect fit for someone who is a leader. Julian "I actually wanted something from you". Julian said. H "Come in". H invited Julian into his house to discuss whatever Julian wants to talk about, they both walked in and Julian took a look around, H''s house is very big but quite simple as well, he doesn''t have any expensive things lying around his house even though he seems to be quite rich, even the electronic appliances in his house seem a little old than the ones used in the current year. H "Have a seat, Sir Julian". H said while pointing at the couch, Julian sat down and H brought some tea and snacks and served it to Julian, H also took a seat and then looked at Julian. H "So what brings you here Sir Julian?" He asked and folded his arms. Julian "I want a Z-ring for this". Julian said and took out his Normalium-Z and showed it to H, H was surprised by seeing it, one wouldn''t get a Z-crystal unless one passes a trial on the trial ground or defeats a Kahuna. Julian "I acquired it after I visited the Gumshoos trial ground". H "I see, so you cleared a trial ground. As for a Z-ring, I can make you one, it will take a few days but I don''t think you came here just to ask me for a Z-ring, you could have made a request through someone else". Julian "You are indeed correct, I am actually here to inform you about the danger that has entered the Al inds". Hearing Julian''s words, H became serious and he leaned forward subconsciously to hear Julian. Julian "Have you watched how the Kalos league unfolded?" H "Yes, it was quite chaotic, I am d that people were not hurt during it". Julian "Then you must remember the shadow pokemons that made their appearance?" H "Yes, those poor souls, they must be tortured by their existence". Julian "Well, that problem is here in Al, the organization that is behind the creation of Shadow Pokemons is targeting the totem pokemons here in Al". H''s frown got deeper as he heard Julian''s words. H "Are you sure?" Julian "I am". H "But why here, and why Totem pokemons to be exact?" Julian "Totem pokemons are very powerful but not as powerful as some legendary pokemons, you must have seen the berserk Volcanion that destroyed the grand stadium in Kalos, those people couldn''t control it as it was too strong, both mentally and physically. They need a weaker pokemon to experiment on and the best candidate for that are-" H "Totem pokemons". H finished Julian''s words as he held his chin in frustration. H "Do you know when they are going to make a move?" H asked. Julian "From what I know, they have already made their move". H "What do you mean?" Julian "Right now, these people have not put everything into their operation, but some of them are already on the ind and are looking for Totem pokemons". H "Are all of them in danger?" Julian "No not all of them, the ones that reside over the trial grounds are safe because the public knows about them, these people are targeting the ones that are hidden deep in the inds, far from civilization". H "But this is still wrong". Julian "I know and you shouldn''t ignore the totem pokemons of the trail grounds either, they are not safe, the totem Gumshoos that I encountered on the trial ground was very aggressive towards me. And I suspect it had something to do with these people trying to do something to it. If this continues normal trainers who are trying to clear the trial grounds might be in danger". Julian exined. H just kept quiet and thought about what he should do. Chapter 1244: Training Starts Chapter 1244: Training Starts H "Do you know who these people are?" H asked after hearing everything Julian had to say about how the totem pokemons of Al are in danger. Julian "The organization is called Cipher but that is all I know about them, I have a few people looking into them but they are very secretive about their actions, this is the first time they risked exposing themselves meaning they are desperate about something" Julian said. H "What should we do, we cannot just sit back and let them cause trouble here in Al". Julian "We cannot, that is why I need your cooperation and the localw enforcement of the ind". H "What are you going to do with them?" Julian "First I need eyes on every surveince camera on the ind and I want to be informed about it as I believe Cipher is making moves on the known Totem pokemons to study them, I just want to confirm that it is them, if they are not the reason behind the Totem Gumshoos going rouge then we might have a bigger problem in our hand". Julian said. H "How so?" Julian "Evil organizations that are up to no good, I can handle them but problems caused by nature and pokemons, that is very unpredictable". H "I understand what you mean, I will talk to the other Kahunas and warn them about what is happening, and as for the z-ring you requested, it will be ready in a few days and I will send it over to Samson". H said. Julian "Thank you, I will be taking my leave as I have other things to do". Julian said and bid farewell to H and headed back to the pokemons school, by now the school should have ended and he will have the yground all to his own to train his pokemon. _________________ When he got back to the pokemon school, he saw an empty field just like he had predicted, almost all the kids have gone back to their homes for the day. Julian walked over to the yground and looked around, this ce is perfect for training young pokemons, as for pokemons that are a little stronger, there is a massive battlefield in front of the school. Julian looked around the yground and saw some yground equipment that he can use as an obstacle course for his pokemons to train on. After nning the training process for a few minutes, he called out Wimpod, his little shiny Wimpod came out of his Pokeball and looked around wondering if it is time to eat again. These past few days, his life has been really good as all he has to do is y with Crystal and eat food, Julian didn''t have time to train Wimpod because of all the things that upied his time but now he needs to start training Wimpod before he develops a habit and beszy. Once one beszy, it is very hard to escape from it, the addiction toziness is as bad as drugs in Julian''s eyes, being the very proactive person that he is, he doesn''t like beingzy and he doesn''t want any of his other pokemons to bezy, except Snox because that is his nature and Snox beingzy is him just training and bing stronger. Julian looked at his confused Wimpod and could tell what this little one is thinking. Julian "No food right now, it''s time to train and be stronger". Julian said. Wimpod understood him and nodded his head causing his whole body to move but little does he know, that the training won''t be easy. Knowing that his Wimpod is exceptionally fast, Julian decided to train him how to control himself at high speeds, just being fast won''t allow his Wimpod to dodge attacks from pokemons because some pokemons and their trainers who are very experienced can easily predict his Wimpod''s speed and hit him with little to no effort. Julian needs to make his Wimpod nimble as hell even when he is at his max speed, if he is nimble, he should be able to dodge almost every attack thrown at him. Julian knows that he has an unpolished gem in his hand and he is going to polish him till he is the shiniest one out there. Julian "Ok, let''s start time, run around as fast as you can". Julianmanded, his Wimpod started to run around and gave it his all, his little legs moved so fast that theypletely blurred out and as he ran around the dusty yground, he caused dust to fly off behind him. Julian just watched as Wimpod exhausted himself and finally came to a stop once he was done, Julian nodded and let Wimpod rest for a few minutes before he asked Wimpod to run around again. He wants Wimpod to get used to him running around a lot and building his stamina, with how Wimpods live in the wild, they don''t move around much, they are fast but they only use their speed when they get startled and run for protection. So almost all of them don''t have any stamina, Julian''s first step in making Wimpod a strong pokemon is increasing his stamina. Wimpod got tired again and stopped to catch a breath, this time Julian took out a healthy but delicious treat and gave it to Wimpod. He asked Wimpod to run around again and whenever he got exhausted and stopped running, Julian would give him a snack to munch on, the snack that Julian was giving him was to refill his energy. This process continued as Wimpod would run, get exhausted, and eat a snack. Chapter 1245: Training Continues Chapter 1245: Training Continues Wimpod''s training continued and he was starting to get mentally exhausted so he tried to cheat Julian by pretending to get exhausted for a snack but he was not going to fool Julian. Julian got a little strict and made Wimpod run around again, and every time Wimpod gave it his best, he would be rewarded with a snack. Julian even told Crystal to join Wimpod and run around, even though this training will have no effect on Crystal because of his strength, it can still provide some mental support and spark a little rivalry in Wimpod to defeat Crystal after seeing how easily Crystal was doing everything. And it worked, Wimpod was trying harder and harder to catch up to Crystal but to Crystal, this was just a game, it was rolling on the sand, jumping around, circling around Wimpod, and teasing him, it was an act ofplete disrespect from Crystal and Wimpod started to get pissed and this pushed him even more. Julian just watched as he knew this would happen, Crystal has the ability to annoy anyone and it works as a great motivator for his new pokemons. Of course, his older pokemons are used to Crystal''s antics but the young and new pokemons like Wimpod have not experienced the horror that has yet toe. As Julian was training Wimpod, someone else came into the yground, Julian noticed this and turned around to find Principal Samson walking toward him with a big smile on his face. Samson "Hohoho, look at that Wimpod, it''s really fast". Samsonmented as he saw Wimpod zoom around the yground trying to catch up on Crystal who is still fooling around. Julian "Yes, he is a special one". Samson "It''s very smallpared to a normal Wimpod but it is definitely faster, a very interesting specimen. Where did you find it?" Samsonmented and asked. Julian "By the rocky cliff right next to themercial beach, I got really lucky with this one". Samson "I can tell, it''s very rare to find unique pokemons, and that too within a shiny". Julian "So, is there anything I can help you with?" Julian asked. Samson "No, I just wanted to see how you train your pokemons, one doesn''t get to witness and training session of a trainer of your caliber every day". Samson said with a smile. Julian "You tter men". Julian said as they continued to watch Wimpod run around. Samson "Can you tell me what is going on?" Julian "Well, basic stamina and speed training, my Wimpod is fast but as you know, they really don''t have good stamina, if he wants to be a strong and reliable pokemon on a battlefield, stamina is the most important criterion". Samson just nods his head in agreement, even though he is not a pokemon trainer, he is still very knowledgeable when ites to pokemons so he can easily understand what most people will struggle with but this is just basic so everybody should be able to understand it. Wimpod got tired again so he crawled back to Julian and Julian gave him a snack to munch down on, Samson watched this curiously as he witnessed Wimpod regaining his energy and going back to running and trying to catch Crystal. Samson "What was that?" Julian "It''s a special snake made with Leppa berries, it restores his stamina so he can continue to train". Julian said. Samson "I see" Samson just watched as Julian continued to train Wimpod, and since this is just basic training, there was not much that would surprise Samson but he still stayed till the end. After an hour, Julian called it a stop and let Wimpod rest, he waspletely exhausted so Julian gave him a while leppa berry to munch on, as for Crystal, it was happy with a bottle of moomoo milk. After Wimpod and Crystal were done eating, Julian sent Wimpod back to his Pokeball while Crystal went into his front pocket and snuggled itself into sleep. Samson "Let''s go eat something, dinner is on me". Samson said as the sky was turning orange and night is about to fall. Julian joined Samson as they went to a local restaurant to eat dinner, as they were eating the food that is unique to Al, Samson thought of something. Samson "Say, Julian, why don''t you be a teacher and teach the students about pokemon". Samson expressed his idea and Julian was surprised by hearing this. Julian "Me? A teacher?" Samson "Why not, you are very knowledgeable when ites to pokemons, you would be of great help to the students". He said. Julian "I don''t know..." Julian was a little hesitant about it. Samson "There is nothing to worry about, it''s not like these students are demons and you will also have something else to do other than roaming around the inds doing nothing". Julian knew that Samson was right, his schedule will be very open in theing days and he will have nothing to do, maybe teaching a bunch of hyperactive kids can be a side quest on his journey. After giving it some thought, he decided to give it a go and it''s not like he will be a permanent teacher. Julian "Sure why not, I can teach the students till my stay here in Al". Samson "Great, the students will be really excited to learn from you, it''s a golden opportunity for them". Chapter 1246: First Day Of School (1) Chapter 1246: First Day Of School (1) After Julian had his dinner with Samson, he went back to the hotel he is staying at as it was closer to the restaurant they were eating at and the view was also very lovely. After bidding farewell to Samson, Julian headed back to his hotel room, on his way there he enjoyed the night sky of Al, the clear sky highlighted the shining stars and the cool breezeing from the ocean was a refreshing feeling. Tomorrow will be another day of his searching for answers, he is also a teacher now, and even though temporary, he will have to think of something to teach the children, being the experienced trainer that he is, he has a lot to teach, from preparing a special recipe for each pokemon to different training methods depending on the shape and type of pokemon. With all the knowledge that he has inside his head, the students will benefit a lot from it. He returned to his hotel room and went to sleep as tomorrow will be a very different day for him and he is looking forward to it. The next morning, he was woken up by the first ray of sunlight entering his room and touching his face, he opened his eyes and got up from his bed, and started stretching, he then did his usual morning routine and cleaned himself up for today. __________________ Making his way to the pokemon school, he saw the same Al from yesterday, the people were busy walking around and attending their daily work even though it is very early in the morning, he took out his bike and rode it to the pokemon school. When he got there, he saw that students were already there running around and ying with their pokemon, they seemed happy to be there and genuinely loved spending their time there, not like the schools in his previous life where most students didn''t like going to school. A friendly and better environment seems to be very important for a student''s education. Parking his bike inside the school ground, he made his way towards principal Samson''s office, he will be the one who will introduce Julian to his students. When he arrived at principal Samson''s office, he was already there waiting for Julian. When he saw Julian, the smile on Samson''s face got brighter as he weed Julian. Samson "Good morning, are you excited for your first day as a teacher?" He asked enthusiastically. Julian "Well this is something new so I don''t mind seeing how it goes". Julian replied. Samson "Great, and you don''t need to worry about teaching the whole school, you will only be in charge of a small group". He said. Julian "I thought I will be teaching the whole school". Julian said. Samson "Well, our teaching methods are very different, we allocate just one teacher for a small group of children so they can bond with their teacher and the learning process will be much more immersive". Samson replied. Julian "Well, it sounds better in theory". Julian replied. Samson "Hahaha, it is also very practical, since the children who attend the school are very small in number we don''t need to stuff all of them in one small room and it works wonders". Julian "So which ss will I be teaching?" Samson "Well, Kukui was the one who was teaching this ss before but since you are here, you will be in charge of them, but don''t worry, if you are busy and need to attend something else, Kukui can take over for you, you can also ask him to assist you during sses". Julian "Ok then, let''s go meet these students". Samson "Great, let''s go". Samson said and guided Julian towards the ssroom where his new students are waiting for him. ___________________ Inside Julian''s ss_ Kukui is standing in front of the board and looking at the group of students in front of him, there are six students sitting at their desks and all of them have a confused look on their faces. One of the students with an orange hair color raised his hand to question Kukui. "Professor Kukui, what do you mean by you will not be teaching us anymore, are you going somewhere else?" "Professor Kukui, don''t leave please". Another one chimed in thinking that Kukui is going to leave. Kukui "Hahaha, you got it all wrong, I am not going anywhere, it''s just that someone else will be teaching you from now on, but that doesn''t mean I will not be here, I will sometimes be your substitute teacher when he is not around". Kukui exined. "Who is this new teacher, Professor Kukui?" The orange-haired kid asked again. Kukui "Well, you all are very lucky that he decided to teach you, I think there is no one better at understanding pokemon than him, even though I have a Ph.D., I only specialize in certain subjects but him being a traveler and a pokemon trainer, he has trained a lot of powerful pokemons and understood them better than most people. He can teach you a lot of things when ites to pokemon, some things that even I don''t know, this is all because of his vast experience when ites to pokemon. Actually one of you already knows him". Kukui said and looked at the kid sitting in front of the ss, this kid is none other than Ash, seeing Kukui was looking at him, Ash got confused and wondered who this person is, even the other children looked at Ash for an answer. "Ash, do you know who are new teacher is?". A girl with green-colored hair asked. Ash "I don''t know". Ash replied as he couldn''t make a connection even after all the information that Kukui threw at him, Kukui just sighed and smiled. Kukui "Well, he will be here shortly and you all will find out". As soon as he said this Principal Samson walked into the ss along with Julian who is right behind him, the students turned their heads and looked at Samson and then at the person standing next to him, they recognized his face as they had seen him in front of the school a few days ago. Ash "JULIAN!!" Ash got excited seeing him and yelled out loud. Julian was also surprised by seeing Ash here, he didn''t expect Ash would be attending school here and he will be in his ss. Chapter 1247: First Day Of School (2) Chapter 1247: First Day Of School (2) Samson "Alright kids, let me introduce you to your new teacher, Teacher Julian, he is known as one of the strongest pokemon trainers in the world". Samson introduced Julian, hearing Samson call Julian one of the strongest pokemon trained in the world was a shock to all of the children except one, that is, of course, Ash. He knows about Julian more than anybody and he is very excited. Julian "Hello students, nice to meet you all, I will do my best to teach you everything you need to know about pokemons". Julian said. As he introduced himself a floating red device rushed towards him excitedly, Julian was surprised by the sudden appearance of this red device, as he looked closely at it, he realized that it is a Rotom possessing a device. Rotom "OH MY ARCEUS, I CAN''T BELIEVE IT!!!! It is actually the champion in flesh, I am your greatest fan. I am Rotomdex, a pleasure to meet you!". Rotom excitedly introduced itself to Julian, Julian smiled seeing a pokemon talk but he is not surprised, depending on the device that a Rotom possesses, it can learn things and adapt to its environment. And from the looks of it, this Rotom has possessed a device that must be connected to the inte, hence it is able to learn and speak humannguage. Julian "It''s a pleasure to meet you as well Rotomdex". Julian said with a smile. "Teacher Julian, can you tell us something about yourself". Julian looked at the green-haired girl who spoke just and as he was about to introduce himself, Rotomdex stepped in. Rotomdex "Allow me to introduce Teacher Julian. He is one of the strongest if not the strongest trainers to ever be known, he has an impressive undefeated record in pokemon battles and even the champions of various regions couldn''t defeat him. He is also the previous champion of the Kanto region which he decided to resign from and was then taken over by the current champion of Kanto Lance. He is also the winner of five champion leagues, thetest being the winner of the Kalos League. He is also a very sessful businessman and the founder of JC corporation". There was still more for Rotomdex to tell but he was stopped by Principal Samson. Samson "Hahaha, Rotomdex, that''s enough, that is a ss that needs to be thought". Rotom stopped as soon as Samson said this. Samson "Ok then, Julian we will leave the ss to you and take our leave". Samson said and made an exit with Kukui leaving Julian alone in the ss with his new students, Julian looked at the students who were very eager to bombard him with questions, it was very clear that they couldn''t wait to speak with Julian seeing the look on their faces. Julian sighed seeing this and began the ss. Julian "Ok students, let''s first being by introducing yourself". Julian said and looked at the green-haired girl who seems to be the mostfortable one in the group. Mallow "My name is Mallow and I live here on Melemele Ind with my dad and this is my friend Bounsweet, we also run a family restaurant in the town, I would love you toe and eat there". She introduced herself and her pokemon with a big smile on her face. Julian "Nice to meet you Mallow, Bounsweet, and I would love to visit your restaurant as well". Lana "Hello my name is Lana and I love to spend my time fishing and learning about water pokemons, and this is my partner Popplio". The blue short-haired girl introduced herself and her pokemon, her Popplio also introduced itself by pping its flippers. Sophocles "My name is Sophocles and this is my partner Togedemaru, I love to y videogames and look into electronic devices to see how they work". The orange-haired chubby kid introduced himself along with his cute round but spiky pokemon Togedemaru. Kiawe "I am Kiawe and I live in Ak ind". The dark skin kid with red hair introduced himself, it was short but enough, Julian could tell that the kid doesn''t like to talk much and seemed very prideful. Julian just smiled and nodded at him, he then looked at the blond girl wearing a white dress. Lillie "Um, my name is Lillie and I love pokemon, one day I want to have a pokemon partner of my own". Lillie introduced herself, she seems to be the shy one of the group but was still courageous enough to look at Julian. Julian "And then there is Ash, no need to introduce yourself as we already know each other". Julian said while Ash rubbed the back of his head andughed. Julian "Well I have been already introduced by our friend Rotom here but I will do it once again, my name is Julian and I will be your teacher till my stay here in Al, I hope you will pay attention in ss and learn everything I have to offer". Julian said and introduced himself. Suddenly his front pocket started to shake and out popped Crystal looking at the students with its big cute eyes. Julian "And this is Crystal, one of my partners". Julian said as he saw Crystal pop its head out. Chapter 1248: First Day Of School (3) Chapter 1248: First Day Of School (3) Seeing Crystal suddenly pop its head out all of a suddenly surprised everyone in the ssroom, they saw a tiny head with a shiny red crystal attached to its head, they had never seen a pokemon like this before, except Ash as he has seen Crystal but he was also curious as to what pokemon Crystal really is. Mallow "What kind of pokemon is that?" She asked excitedly, it was not only her but the whole ss was curious about Crystal. Rotom "Leave it to me!!!!" Rotomdex swiftly approached Crystal and pointed its camera at Crystal to match it to a database and find what species of pokemon Crystal really belongs to, Crystal also got curious looking at the floating red device in front of it so it floated out of Julian''s pocket, and got very close to Rotom and put its eye right against Rotom''s camera making it look very big on the screen. Rotom was startled by the sudden approach from Crystal so it backed off in a hurry while still going through its database but after a few seconds, it couldn''t find anything. Rotom "What is this, why can''t I find any data rted to this pokemon, is this a new species of Pokemon????" It yelled excitedly. Too bad for Rotom, it now has the attention of Crystal so Crystal approached Rotomdex again and started poking Rotomdex with its fingers, Rotom was taken by surprise again as it didn''t notice when Crystal got close to it so it bolted in fear but this was the biggest mistake it could do. Once someone starts running from Crystal, Crystal turns into a bloodhound, it will hunt you down till the ends of the earth if it wants to catch you, and to Crystal, this is just fun and games. Seeing Crystal was right behind it, Rotom freaked out even more but there is no escaping Rotom, the students were also very surprised by the sudden chaos that Crystal has descended into the ssroom. Ash "Rotom stop". Ash quickly used his head for once and jumped to grab onto Rotom and stopped it from causing more chaos, Crystal also stopped and stared at Rotom before getting bored and returned back to Julian''s front pocket. The students were speechless after seeing Crystal just leave it off to that, they didn''t know how little Crystal''s attention span it. One second it would be interested in something and the next second, it doesn''t care anymore. Julian "Hahaha, Crystal likes to y catch so Rotom asked for it when it decided to run, well anyways, Crystal is a very special pokemon and it is the only one of its kind so you won''t find it in any database". Julian replied. Students "Ohhhh....." All of the eximed at once as they heard about Crystal, Crystal is also looking at the new faces in front of it till its eyes fell on Pikachu, it got excited and approached Pikachu andtched onto him and snuggled against his cheek causing Pikachu to get electrically charged and electrocuting Ash and Rotom. Pikachu didn''t see thising either, he was just happy to meet his friend Crystal, Crystal separated itself from Pikachu and giggled while putting its small hands in front of its smallmouth. The students were once again stunned by Crystal''s antics. Julian "Ah, I forgot, Crystal is very mischievous so be careful, it will sneak up to you when you are expecting it the least". Julian warned his new students calling all of them to feel chills down their spine thinking about all the things that could possibly happen to them. Julian "But, don''t worry, I will keep an eye on Crystal" Julian reassured them. Crystal then went on to greet the other pokemons in the room, Bounsweet, Popplio, and Togedemaru, all the little pokemons approached Crystal and became friends in an instant. The students also didn''t sit behind and grouped up around Crystal to get a better look at it, they couldn''t help but get close to Crystal seeing how cute the little brat really is, they just wanted to pick it up and squeeze its cute cheeks. Crystal not being shy, greeted every student. First, it approached Mallow and rubbed its cheek against her, Mallow giggled and loved the greeting from Crystal, Lana also received the same treatment as it rubbed its cheeks against her. It then floated over to Sophocles and pocked his chubby cheeks and saw it bounce back, making Crystalugh and p its little hands. It then moved towards Kiawe and looked at his rough spiky hair and got curious, so it grabbed it and yanked it as hard, even though Crystal is tiny, it is strong so it lifted Kiawe off the ground causing him to panic and il around like a helpless Magikarp. Luckily for him, Crystal let him go causing him to fall t on his back, everyoneughed seeing this whole Kiawe rubbed the back of his head, and sighed. Crystal then finally looked at Lillie and approached her to greet her but as soon as it got closer to Lillie, she backed off in fright. Julian raised his brow seeing this, he could tell that Lillie seems to be scared of Crystal, he didn''t know why she would get so scared of Crystal even though most of the things that Crystal has done is harmless. Crystal was also surprised that someone didn''t want to hug it, it tilted its head and stared at Lillie, before smiling and opening its arms again and purred, Crystal used Pur, one of its most powerful moves causing Lillie to be stunned for a second before bing normal. She looked at Crystal and didn''t feel afraid of it anymore, Crystal once again approached her and hugged her face, and gave her a nice face rub on her cheek. Everyone in the room was speechless as they saw this, they couldn''t believe their eyes, but the one who was most shocked was Lillie herself, she slowly raised her hand and touched Crystal and felt its soft fur. She couldn''t believe she is touching a pokemon. Chapter 1249: First Day Of School (4) Chapter 1249: First Day Of School (4) Lillie couldn''t believe her eyes as she started to tear up, she then held Crystal as gently as she could and brought it in front of her eyes to take a good look at it. Mallow "LILLIE, YOU CAN TOUCH CRYSTAL!!!" She eximed loudly. Lana "I can''t believe it". It looked like every student was excited about seeing Lillie touch Crystal, Julian who was watching this could already guess why they are so excited for Lillie, he knows about her condition very well. Some people are very afraid of pokemons and this is caused by some kind of extreme trauma that they suffered in the past through the hands of a pokemon or was caused by it identally. Lillie seems to be suffering from the same thing, the only reason why Lillie is about to touch Crystal and not be afraid of her is that Crystal used Pur against her, making her non-hostile towards it and epting Crystal as her ally. Julian "Did Lillie experience any kind of trauma rted to a pokemon?" Julian asked. Hearing his question all of them turned their head and looked at him. Lillie "I don''t know". She said and shook her head, Julian nodded and didn''t ask any further. Julian ''It looks like she blocked her memory regarding this incident'' Julian thought as just let Lillie feel Crystal, Crystal seeing Lillie cry floated towards her eyes and whipped off her tears, even though Crystal is his most mischievous pokemon, it is also his mostpassionate pokemon and its emotions are very close to that of a human so Crystal could feel Lillie sadness so it decided to stay will Lillie for a while. Lana "If you can touch Crystal, does that mean you can touch other pokemon as well?" Lana asked excitedly. Julian wanted to say something but stopped himself, he wondered if Lillie coulde over her fear of pokemons thinking that she was able to finally conquer her fears because of Crystal, even though the possibility is very small and Julian doesn''t like the chances, there is a possibility as everything is psychological. Lillie "I don''t know" Lillie said and looked at the other pokemons in the ssroom. Ash "Here, why don''t you try touching Pikachu". Ash said and picked up Pikachu and brought him in front of her but this made Lillie flinch and back off in fear again, seeing this everyone was disappointed including Lillie. Julian also sighed realizing that the root of Lillie''s problem is a littleplex and unless she herself wants to break it, she cannot ovee it. But Lillie didn''t feelpletely down, she can finally touch a pokemon and that is enough for her now, she looked at Crystal and smiled as Crystal returns a smile back at her. Kiawe "I wonder why Lillie can only touch Crystal and not the other pokemons?" He questioned. Everyone else thought the same and looked at Julian for an answer. Julian "Well, like I said Crystal is special, it has a special ability to make friends with anyone it wants, it wanted to be friends with Lillie so Crystal became Lillie''s friend". Julian answered. Hearing Julian, everyone was surprised once again but they were still happy for Lillie, now that she finally has a pokemon she can touch. Lillie "Teacher Julian, can I hold Crystal during the ss?" She asked. Clearly not wanting to let go of Crystal for now. Julian "Don''t worry. And Crystal, don''t trouble Lillie and be good". Julian said and Crystal mewed at him with an agreement. Julian "Well, ok then, everyone back to your seats and let''s start the ss". Julian said and watched as the students returned to their seats and waited for Julian to begin the lesson. Julian "Well since, this is my first ss, I will let you guys decide what you want to learn about". Julian said. The first one to rise her hand was Lana. Lana "Let''s learn about water pokemons". She suggested excitedly. Julian could see herpassion for water pokemons and could tell she will be a good water-type trainer in the future. Mallow "I want to learn about pokemon foods, what different types of pokemons like to eat and how to cook delicious food for them". Ash "I want to learn about pokemon battles". Ash barged in and suggested as well. Kiawe "I wouldn''t mind that either". Kiawe said with his arms folded, even though he is excited to learn about pokemon battles, he still wants to keep up his cool, calm, and collected face. Lillie "I think we should first learn about pokemon basics before learning anything else". Lillie suggested with her low voice while holding onto Crystal. Everyone looked at her and nodded their head, Ash clearly did not like this idea and slumped his head, Kiawe also didn''t like it but his expression remained indifferent. The girls on the other hand were excited to learn anything. Julian "Well, it is the basics then, let''s start with pokemon typings". Julian said and turned around and wrote "Pokemon typings on the board", he turned back to the students and looked at them. Julian "Can anyone tell me, how many types of pokemons are there for now?" Lillie lifted her hand up in the air to answer. Julian "Yes, Lillie". Lillie "There are 18 pokemon types in the world" Julian "Good can you name them?" Lillie "Normal, Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel, Fairy" She named all the types that are known right now. Julian "Very good". Julian said and could tell that Lillie is probably the most knowledgeable one of the group, he then wrote down all the types in a jiffy and he turned back to the students and saw Lana''s hand up in the air. Julian "Any question Lana?" He asked. Lana "When you asked about the different types of pokemon, why did you say for now?" She asked. Julian smiled and nodded his head. Julian "Well, pokemon typing is not as simple as it seems, for pokemon professors and researchers to assign a type to a pokemon, it takes years as they need to study the pokemon, find out what type of pokemon moves it can use, what type of moves are effective against it, what type of moves does it resist, and what moves does it haveplete immunity against. When all this is done, then only can a professor assign a pokemon type to a pokemon but the assigned type might not be right at all. Did you know that there were no fairy-type pokemons a few years before, the fairy type was discovered very recently by research as they noticed that some pokemons had a very different reaction to some types of moves. For example, Clefairy was considered a normal type pokemon but after the researchers found out about the fairy type, they changed its typing to fairy". The students were very surprised to hear this information, they didn''t expect so much work to go into typing pokemons, they just thought that people knew about pokemon types from the very beginning. Julian "I see that you all understand and that is why I questioned only for now, who knows maybe a new type of pokemon will be discovered in the future and the pokemon you might have right now might be a type youpletely don''t know about". Hearing Julian''s answer made everyone look at their pokemons wondering if their pokemon might have a hidden type they don''t know about. Julian just smiled seeing this and let their imagination run wild for now. Julian "But keep in mind that the current typing system is very solid so a new type might take very long to discover". Julian added as he didn''t want to get their hopes up but the possibility of a mystery type being present was something to get excited about. Chapter 1250: Meeting Officer Jenny Chapter 1250: Meeting Officer Jenny The students were quite surprised by the new information that they received from Julian, they now respected the pokemon professors and researchers even more. Julian continued to teach the ss about pokemon typings and how and why pokemons have type advantages. He didn''t go fully into the details, but he told them how pokemons developed their powers for the sole reason of their survival. Once he was done, he ended the ss and decided to leave, the students seem very happy with what they learned, he thought of giving them an assignment, but he didn''t want to ruin their mood, he wanted them to have fun and not spend their time doing assignments instead of hanging and ying around with their friends. Bidding farewell to his students, he left the school and made his way towards the police station to meet with Officer Jenny, by now she should be informed of things that could be happening on the inds. Julian needs their help to collect all the evidence that would prove to him that the people who really are involved with the changes in the totem pokemon''s behavior. When he arrived in front of the police station, the scene waspletely different from the other day as there were more officers inside, Julian entered and saw the same young face at the front desk, bored with her work and looking through her phone while chewing bubblegum. She seems to bepletely engrossed in her own world that she didn''t even notice Julian walk in, Julian stood in front of her and looked at her for a few seconds and realized that she was not going to notice him until he grabs her attention. Julian "Hello". Julian called out. Hearing his voice, the young Jenny suddenly snapped out of her state and back to reality and looked at him, realizing who he is she immediately dropped her phone and stood up straight and looked right at Julian. Young Jenny "You are here!" She said and quickly tried to fix her dress and hair, Julian just waited for her to calm down, once she was done, she took a deep breath and looked at Julian once again. Young Jenny "I informed my sister, I mean superior about your request, and she agreed. She should be waiting for you in the office". She said and pointed at the captain''s office, Julian nodded his head and walked towards the captain''s office and knocked on the door. Jenny "Come in". Julian heard a charming female voiceing from the other side, he pushed open the door and walked in, and looked at the woman sitting behind her massive desk. She looks just like the young Jenny in the front, but she is much older and has maturity and elegance in her presence. Julian has been with many officers Jennies and each one of them is somehow special, and he cannot get enough of them. Officer Jenny lifted her head up and looked at her visitor to notice a tall, handsome young man looking at her and checking her out, being a woman she can tell when someone is just looking at her or checking her out and her feeling didn''t fail her. Feeling Julian''s gaze on her, she felt confident and adjusted her posture a little to enhance her greatest asset which is her breasts. She wouldn''t have done this for anyone, but this man in front of her is handsome, rich, and powerful. Even though she knows that she has no chance to get any of those things from Julian, just spending some time with him will be a win for her. Jenny "Mr. Julian, pleasee in". She said and got off her seat to wee Julian, Julian smiled at her and got close to her, and sat down. Once both of them were seated, they began their talk. Jenny has already been informed about what is happening on the ind, and she has been asked to assist Julian in every way possibly she can. Julian "I want to go through the footage of the cameras around the forest which are used to survey the pokemons". Jenny "I can get you them, but you have to retrieve them yourselves, the number of officers in our department is very little, and we cannot afford to send them to do other things as they are needed on the ind". Julian "I understand, I just need permission to ess these cameras and maybe someone to extract the data from them." Jenny "I can help you with that by apanying you to these camera locations". Julian "Are you sure? I hope it won''t affect your work". Julian showed his concern as Jenny is the one who handles most of the things here in the station. Jenny "No need to worry, since all the officers have been assigned their tasks, I am free to apany you". She answered. Julian "Well, if you are fine with it then I don''t have anything toin about, so when are you free to apany me?" Julian asked. Jenny "It''s your call". Julian "Then let''s go right now". Julian said and got off his chair, Jenny also joined him and both of them walked out of her office, on their way out, Jenny looked at the young Jenny and told her to look after the station while she is gone. Chapter 1251: Finding The Cameras/Bewear Sighting Chapter 1251: Finding The Cameras/Bewear Sighting Officer Jenny joined Julian as both of them rode into the dense forest of the ind, since there was only one mode of transport which is Julian''s bike as anything else won''t be able to make its way through the harsh terrain of the jungle, they both had to sit closer to each other and neither one of them cared. A beautiful woman hugging him tightly as he rides on a bumpy road will be a very pleasant experience, as for Jenny, she wants to get her hands dirty because of a special rumor that is very famous around Jenny''s group society. Julian sat on his bike and waited for Jenny to hop on as well, she put her leg over the back seat and sat down and then put her arm around his waist while holding on tightly. Julian "Are you ready?" He asked and turned his head to look at her. She nodded her head which made Julian start the engine and turn the elerator to ride off. The sudden torque caused Jenny''s breasts to press hard against Julian''s back which he loved, Jenny also didn''t say anything as it seemed clearly a coincidence but was it really a coincidence though? Only Julian knows. Entering the forest was not hard as it is very close to civilization, but the parts were Julian wants to ess are deep inside, it is not right in the middle of the forest but it is still a remote area, not many people try to go there as wild pokemons are very territorial and will sometimes attack sight. It was a very long bumpy ride as Julian had to drive slow, if it was him alone, he wouldn''t care as he can handle himself on these rough routes but right now he has a passenger, but he didn''t mind this long ride as Jenny''s breasts were rubbing against him every other second. At first, Jenny was embarrassed but soon she started to get a little more into it, her face was flush red as she bit her lip in pleasure, her nipples arepletely erect and Julian could feel them, which told him that she is not wearing any bra underneath her shirt. After an hour of riding, Julian finally made it towards the very first location which is close to the cavern where he fought the Totem Gumshoos. Both he and Jenny got off the bike and started looking around to find the cameras, since their cameras are hidden so that the pokemons won''t mess with them, it is a little difficult to find them, luckily for them, Jenny did bring a locator device which will help them pinpoint the device. Once they find the camera, they can copy the data from it and ce it back from where it was taken so it continues to film and observe the pokemon wildlife. It was quite a tiring task for them, they did have the device that could pinpoint the location of the camera but they will have to find it on their own when they get there as they have been camouged into their surroundings. As both of them realized the location of the first camera, Jenny started to look around for anything particr that stood out to find the camera, like a bump or a re. Julian didn''t bother to do the same as her and let Gengar do a quick sweep of the area and within seconds, Gengar pointed him at the very first camera. Julian "Jenny, I found one". Julian said and walked up to a tree and pulled on a tree branch, which is a camera made to look like one, Jenny came over and extracted the data before Julian put it back into the tree. He and Jenny then continued with their search as Julian wanted footage from all the cameras in the vicinity, it took a few hours but Julian didn''t mind spending it as he is all alone in an empty forest with a very hot officer Jenny who seems really keen to show off her body, sometimes she would bend over to reveal her panty, she has also unbuttoned half her shirt revealing her whole cleavage. Right now, she is just asking Julian to make a move on her. As Jenny headed towards the location of the final camera, Julian followed right behind her, enjoying the view of her hips swaying and her smooth long legs demanding his attention. Just as she tried to walk out of a bush, a massive Bewear suddenly appeared in front of them. Both of them were stunned by the sudden appearance of this Bewear. Julian looked at the Bewear in surprise because this Bewear is strong, just from the looks of it, he could tell that this Bewear would crush a champion-level pokemon with ease. Such a powerful pokemon in the wild is extremely rare, almost impossible to find, Julian also regretted not finding this Bewear earlier, if he had found this pokemon when it was just young, he could have trained it to reach level 100 and maybe even beyond. Julian "Jenny, slowly back down and don''t make a noise". Julian instructed her. He knew that this Bewear wouldn''t just approach them out of curiosity, it is either here to chase them away from something or trying to defend its territory. Jenny heard Julian''s voice and slowly tried to back down while keeping her eyes on the Bewear, the Bewear looked at her withplete stillness, there was no show of emotions on its face, and even Julian couldn''t tell what it is trying to do. Suddenly Jenny stepped on a dry tree branch which snapped and startled her, she lost her bnce and started to fall down and on instinct, she screamed. This scream broke the stalemate between them and the Bewear, the Bewear shrilled in anger and rushed towards Jenny, Julian also rushed towards her quickly and saved her fall, Bewear was also right on top of them and as it was about to use Hammer Arm on Julian, Gengar shot out of his shadow and bashed his head against the Bewear sending it five feet up in the air. Being a big and heavy pokemon, its descent to the ground was quite loud and it shook the entire area causing some small pokemons up in the tree to fly away. Julian also saved Jenny from her fall and has a tight grip on her, especially one of her breasts and he did it on purpose, he couldn''t let go of such a good chance. The Bewear got back to its feet and looked at Gengar wearily, for the first time in a very long time did it feel a sense of danger from another pokemon. Gengar also stared at the Bewear with his typical grinning face and giggled. He then beckoned at the Bewear trying to drag it into a battle but the Bewear is smart, knowing that it would lose, and it bolted away into the safety of the dense forest. Gengar was disappointed by this, he thought he was going to have some fun but his ymate ran away, so he returned back to Julian and entered his shadow, and went into his own dimension to continue the daily life of finding new ways to have fun. Chapter 1252: Jenny Gets It (18+) Chapter 1252: Jenny Gets It (18+) Once Gengar returns to his own dimension, Julian is left alone with Jenny while his hand is squeezing onto her breast. Jenny "~mmnnn~" Jenny let out a soft moan as Julian continued to squeeze her breast, seeing no rejectioning from her Julian continued and this time he went under her shirt and grabbed onto her bare breast, he could feel her erect nipples asking to be pulled so he did. Jenny "~NNGGHHH~". She let out a shrill moan as her nipples are very sensitive, and her eyes became hazy as she felt an electric sensation running through her body every time Julian flicked her nipple. Julian "Look at you, I knew you were a pervert from the moment I met you, trying to seduce me by showing off your breasts, swaying your ass, and rubbing your breasts against my back, you couldn''t wait for me to ravage you, didn''t you?" Julian whispered into her ear. Jenny "~N~ NOO~" Jenny denied Julian''s ims but Julian was not having it, he sat behind her and pulled her closer against his chest and then used his legs to spread hers, his one hand continued to y with her breast while he used his other hand and invaded her lower area. He pulled up her skirt a little revealing more of her soft thighs, he ced his hand on them and rubbed them, enjoying the soft and bouncy sensation, he then pped her thigh causing Jenny to squeal in pain and it also left a red palm print on her thigh. Her eyes watered up as she felt the stinging pain on her thigh which soon started to heat up. Julian "I don''t like liars". Julian whispered into her ear as his hand went further towards her pussy, Jenny tensed up as she felt his handing towards her pussy. Jenny didn''t answer him but she did look at him with eyes filled with guilt and this was enough for Julian, he then suddenly grabbed her pussy tightly and started to rub it with his four fingers from left to right vigorously. Jenny was assaulted by pleasure, she arched her back and widened her eyes as it all hit her all at once. Her panty drenched up in an instant and within a few seconds, her body started to spasm and he squirted all over her panty. Julian "Look at this, cumming so soon. I haven''t even fucked you yet. How long has it been since you got fucked by a proper dick?". Julian asked. Jenny "2 years". She answered. Julian "2 years? Now that''s a lot, don''t worry, I will make it so that you don''t miss these two years at all". Julianmented and pushed her panty to the side and inserted two of his fingers into her vagina and started twirling it inside her, he instantly increased his pace which caused Jenny to get assaulted by another wave of pleasure. Within a minute, she squirted again, her pussy juicepletely drenched the grass below her. Julian "You perverted slut, cumming again, it looks like I need topletely drain you until you aren''t able to squirt". Julian whispered into her ear again and let her go before pushing her to the ground, Jenny fell face first on the grass but it didn''t hurt her. Now with her ass facing Julian, he grabbed her panty and with a yank ripped it off her. Julian looked at Jenny''s pussy with its pink insides begging for his dick, without waiting for her to evenpose herself, he took out his erected dragon and jammed it into her. Jenny''s eyes went wide, almost popping out of her socket. Jenny "~HNNGGGGGHHHHH~" She squealed and lifted her head up while arching her back. Julian then grabbed both of her hands and folded them behind her back and grabbed the together with one of his hands while he used his other hand and grabbed her head and pressed the side of her face on the grass and started pounding that tight pussy of hers. Jenny "~NOOOO~ IT~ IT''S TOO BI~BIGGGGGGG~ I AM GOING TO GET RIPPED APART~". She screamed as she felt her insides beingpletely destroyed by the oversized dragon, her pussy continued to spew out fluids even though it is stuffed with Julian''s dick, every time, he pulled out his dick, some vaginal fluids find a way to escape her pussy. Jenny''s eyes rolled up as her body started to spasm again and she came again, Julian felt the pressure building up inside her pussy so he pulled out his dick which caused a massive amount of fluids to shoot out of Jenny''s pussy, she was like a dam releasing water. But Julian still has a lot more to give, without even giving her a second, his dick rammed into her pussy again and this time the thrust are faster and harder than before. Jenny couldn''t handle it at her, her mouth was wide open with her tongue hanging out with saliva dripping down to the ground. Jenny "Shlloo doown~ my pp-syyy isss stilll~ sen~sensatvvbe". Her words were not making sense but it didn''t stop Julian, she asked for it and now she is getting it all, no ying around, just ram smashing. Chapter 1253: Jenny Gets It 2 (18+) Chapter 1253: Jenny Gets It 2 (18+) The sound of Julian smashing into Jenny''s pussy echoed the whole area and lucky for them no one was around to witness it, even the pokemons that resided there have fled after witnessing the battle between Gengar and Bewear. Julian continued fucking Jenny like a wild animal while she could onlyy there with her eyes rolled over and tongue out of her mouth, leaking saliva everywhere. Julian grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her back bringing her head closer to his and kissed her, he inserted his tongue inside her mouth and yed around with her tongue, it was not visually appealing but it didn''t need it, it was just sloppy and enjoyable. Julian sucked on her face and continued fucking her and just like before, she started to spasm again and started to squirt, Julian had to remove his dick from her pussy to let her fluids out which shot out uncontrobly. Julian let her go and Jenny fell t on the grass breathing heavily, Julian couldn''t help but admire his work, but he was not going to let her rest. Julian got to his feet and grabbed Jenny and made her kneel in front of his dick. Jenny looked at the massive dick in front of her and couldn''t help but gasp, she couldn''t believe this thing was ramming her tight pussy for so long, no wonder she felt her world was turning upside down. She then looked at Julian with her hazy tear-filled eyes wondering what he is nning to do next to her. Julian "Come on, open your mouth wide". He ordered and she had no choice but to oblige, as soon as she opened her mouth, Julian grabbed the back of her head with both of his hands and thrust his dick into her mouth and down her throat. Jenny "GGHHUUGGCKKKKKKKK". Jenny gagged intensely and continued to gag as Julian started to smash her throat with his big dick, her eyes teared her and a lot of salivae started to build up inside her mouth, she could also taste her own pussy on his dick. She couldn''t do anything but be a flesh toy for Julian right now, after fucking her throat for a few minutes, Julian released a massive load inside Jenny''s mouth, it was so much that some of it couldn''t be contained and flowed out from the sides. Julian "Now hold it and keep your mouth open". Julian said and rubbed his dick around her mouth while Jenny kept her mouth open which is filled with his cum, satisfied with her performance, he gave her permission to swallow it. Julian "Now swallow it". He ordered. Jenny closed her mouth and gulped down to swallow all of it and she did experience some trouble but she was sessful in swallowing it all, once she was done swallowing, she used her finger to wipe the remaining cum around her mouth and sucked on it. After cleaning up, she opened her mouth wide open and put out her tongue to show that she left nothing behind. Julian "Look at you, already behaving like a good slut". Julian said while looking down at her, he then put his arm around her and grabbed her by her ass, and pulled her closer, he then carried her next to a big tree and pressed her against it. As her back got pressed against the tree, Julian grabbed both of her legs and put them over his shoulder revealing her freshly fucked pussy, and since she is still wearing her uniform, Julian found it even sexier. Without waiting, he inserted his dick inside her pussy again and started pounding her to oblivion, Jenny could only roll up her eyes and open her mouth wide open and invite the pleasure that assaulted her body. Julian then continued to fuck her for hours, doggy style, standing doggy style with arms hooked, one leg over the head against a tree while standing, standing butterfly, standing butterfly anal, doggy anal, elevated missionary, elevated missionary piledriver, and many more. After releasing another massive load inside Jenny while she came as well, but this time there were no fluidsing out of her other than Julian''s cum, Julian drained herpletely dry. Now that Julian has finally quenched his sexual thirst, he let go of Jenny who fell t on her back on the ground, she was breathing heavily drenched in her own sweat, and even her uniform waspletely drenched. Seeing that she needs some time to collect herself, Julian walked towards the camera which is very close to them, and to his surprise, the camera was actually pointing at them during the whole time Julian was fucking Jenny. He copied the data from the camera and also deleted the steaming hot sex tape that was stored on the camera and ced it back where it belongs, he now has all the things he needs and also a very hot sex tape he can share with his fianc¨¦es as they also love some rough work from Julian. Chapter 1254: Receiving The Z-ring Chapter 1254: Receiving The Z-ring After Julian was done collecting the data, he looked at Jenny and saw that she had finally recovered some of her energy, he gave her some energy drink for her to cool down. She drank the whole can in an instant as she was very tired from all the pounding she received. Julian "We should get going now". Julian said. Jenny nodded her head and tried to get back to her feet but they were very weak, she almost fell down but Julian grabbed her before she could ragdoll on the ground again. She will be able to recover most of her movement because of the energy drink she drank, but she will still need a day''s rest for her to fully recover, once she was able to stand on her own, they both hopped on Julian''s bike and rode back to the town where they live. After an hour of traversing through the jungle, they finally arrived at their town. Julian drove Jenny back to the police station and it was very empty, the officers were still out there working so the only people in the station are the young Jenny and a few officers who look after the jail cells where petty thieves and criminals are kept. Young Jenny who is the closest to the entrance of the station noticed Julian''s and Jenny''s arrival and became alert, she then noticed Julian and Jenny walk into the station and head to her office, Young Jenny also noticed Jenny''s weird walking and shaky legs, at first she thought that Jenny might have hurt herself but there was no visible injury but suddenly she noticed something else. She saw white fluids dripping down Jenny''s thighsing from underneath her skirt, Young Jenny might be young but she is not stupid, she is almost an adult now and knows what her sister did with Julian. She was really shocked by this, she didn''t want to believe it but seeing how tightly Jenny is holding onto Julian proved her theory, she knows her sister better than anyone. She doesn''t stick to strangers that she just met a few hours ago but this is different. Young Jenny wondered what magic Julian did on her sister and wondered if it really was that good that her sister was all over Julian. Julian put Jenny back on her seat and said his goodbyes, he still doesn''t have the footage but Jenny will send him all of it after she goes through it, and knowing what is in the footage, she won''t let others even touch it. _______________ Julian walked out of Jenny''s office and looked at young Jenny who is staring at him with suspicious eyes, Julian looked and her wondering what she is thinking about, and just smiled back at her. He then walked out of the station and rode back to his hotel to rest for the day. He spent the rest of the evening justzing around and watching tv, he also fed his pokemons and went to sleep. The next morning, he woke up early and headed to the pokemon school, just like yesterday, he was greeted by his students and he continued his ss on pokemon types, and since there are 18 different types to go through, it will take a few more sses to get through everything. The students were also enjoying the ss as they all are very enthusiastic about learning about pokemon and they paid full attention to Julian. Once he was done with his ss for today, he suddenly heard a knock on the ssroom''s door, he turned his head and saw Principal Samson standing there with a smile and holding a box in his hand. Julian "Principal Samson, is there something I can help you with?" He asked. Samson "I received this item from H, this is for you". Samson said and headed over the box to Julian, Julian wondered if it is the Z-ring that H promised him to make, the students were also curious about the box so they gathered up in front of Julian''s desk so that he can reveal the contains of the box. Julian just smiled seeing their enthusiasm about this box, he unwrapped the tape and opened the box to find a crimson-colored Z-ring with ck patterns, it looks like H put a lot of effort into it while making it, and keeping Julian''s appearance in his mind. "Whooaaaaaa!" The students all eximed in fascination as they looked at the Z-ring, Julian picked it up and put it on his right wrist as his left wrist has a very expensive watch on it. As soon as Julian wore the Z-ring, he could feel that there was some kind of link attached to him but the other side had nothing, so he took out his Normalium-Z and put it on the Z-ring, and as soon as he did, he could feel the link bingplete. Other people might not feel this connection but it was very apparent to Julian, that the energy he could feel from the Z-crystal is very pure and very powerful, but this didn''t excite Julian at all. It just made him worry as at the end of the day, this crystal is just a product of a pokemon blessing thisnd thousands of years ago, if this crystal holds so much power even though it is newly formed relying on energy left behind thousands of years ago, he couldn''t imagine what the real thing that caused it could be. Whenever he thought that he had a rough idea of how strong this blinding one could be, he was proven wrong. Right now Julian is sure that this blinding one is even stronger than the physical projections of Dialga and Palkia, not to downgrade the physical projections of these two gods but Julian has faced them and his Infernape has even destroyed a physical projection of a Giratina. By now he knows that if a pokemon like this exist, someone out there will want to use its power and they may be very well hidden on this ind, the idea of Julian not only facing Cipher but another evil organization who would want to hold the Blinding One''s power is not farfetched. But at the end of the day, it''s just spection but Julian also knows that this peaceful world he thought it would be is totally fucked and what he spectes might be true. Chapter 1255: Breakneck Blitz Chapter 1255: Breakneck Blitz Putting aside the thoughts he bombarded himself with, he looked at the positive, if this happens which he knows has a 50% chance of happening, he has a few ways to deal with it. Ash "Is that a Z-ring?" Of course, Ash was the one to ask the most obvious question. Kiawe "No, it''s a Z-Power ring". He said as he looked at the Z-ring with curiosity, being a residence of the ind and a hardcore follower of the ind traditions, Kiawe is very passionate about everything rted to z-moves and z-crystals, he is very proud of his heritage and things thate from the ind. Samson "Hahaha, you are right, this is indeed a Z-Power ring". Even Julian was surprised by this as he didn''t know what the difference was between Z-ring and Z-Power ring. Samson "You see, other than the normal z-crystals that you can get from ind trials, there are also special z-crystals whose power can only ess by special pokemons and the Z-Power ring is the only thing that can hold such crystals, normal Z-ring can''t hold those special Z-crystals". Samson exined. Hearing his exnation was a surprise to everyone, Julian looked at the ring in his hand and wondered what kind of special z-crystals are there that he can get his hands on. Sophocles "I wonder how it is made?" He asked while looking at the ring in Julian''s hand. Kiawe "It is made of a special stone called the sparkling stone, the color of the ring depends from where the stone came from, from the looks of it, teacher Julian''s stonees from the volcanos of Ak ind" Kiawe shared his knowledge about it. Samson "Hahaha, you are right again, it looks like you are very knowledgeable about this stuff". Principal Samson praised him to which Kiawe just looked away embarrassed, even though he likes being praised, he doesn''t want to show it to others. Kiawe "It''s nothing like that, I want to be an ind kahuna one day so I am preparing myself for it". Kiawe said. Now that Julian has received his Z-Power ring, the only thing left there is to test it. Lana "Teacher Julian, why don''t you perform a Z-move, we all want to see" Lana said excitedly and all the students nodded their heads except Kiawe as he didn''t think Julian will be able to do it, in his eyes no matter how strong a pokemon trainer is. If they have not gone through the trials and tribtion and have been acknowledged by the kahuna of an ind, they cannot perform a Z-move. He has seen Ash perform a Z-move once but his Z-crystal shattered into pieces when he was done using it, he expected the same to happen with Julian''s Z-crystal. Julian "Sure why not, let''s go outside and test it out". Julian said and walked out while his students followed him, once they were out in the open, Julian looked around and decided to use it at the sky as there are structures and trees everywhere, he also doesn''t want to use it on water because it can destroy the habitat down below because of the power that will generate. He tapped his front pocket causing Crystal to pop its head out curiously wondering why Julian called for it, it floated out of Julian''s pocket and circled around him happily waiting for his instruction. Julian lifted his right hand and showed Crystal his Z-Power ring and the Normalium Z-crystal, Crystal got excited seeing it and approached it with sparkling eyes. It touched the Normalium-Z and closed its eyes to feel the energy radiating from it. Julian "You can feel it right?" Julian asked to which Crystal nodded its head cutely. Julian "Then let''s do it, look up at the sky" Julian said with a smile. Crystal nodded and floated a little further away from the crowd and looked at the sky. Julian brought his hand closer to his chest and clenched his fist and channeled the energy radiating from the Normalium-Z and passed it over to Crystal through the link that he established with it with the help of the Z-Power ring. As soon as Crystal felt the z-energy running through its body, the air surrounding it distorted, and an immense pressure enveloped everywhere, even the students who were standing far away from Crystal felt the pressure but they weren''t harmed by it as they are not the target. The ground under Crystal caved-in in an instant, creating a massive crater below it, z-energy started to re up around Crystal and be more chaotic in nature, it was as if there is a fine line waiting to be snapped and the explosion that wille after it. Seeing that his theory is working, Julian smiled, he really didn''t have to do that weird dance to perform a Z-move. Julian "Let''s go, Breakneck Blitz" Julianmanded. Crystal set its eyes up at a massive cloud and shot right at it, a powerful and destructive energy surrounded Crystal as it shot towards the cloud, Crystal looked like aet that is shooting towards the sky and the whole ind could see it. Crystal reached its target within and few seconds and released all the energy at once. It created such a powerful explosion that its impact was felt all over the ind, everyone present on the ind felt it. The cloud that Crystal targeted was nowhere to be found as it got dispersed into nothingness, the shockwave that followed after traveled across the whole ind and even reached the ocean on the other side. On the school ground, everyone was shocked by the power on disy, they couldn''t believe such a little thing could be so powerful, before they knew it, Crystal is already in front of Julian hopping around in the air happily, the rush of power it felt while using that move was really enjoyable to it. While everyone was shocked by the power disyed by Crystal, Kiawe was shocked by how Julian used the Z-move, being the most experienced one of the group, he knows about it more than anyone else so he couldn''t believe his eyes. Kiawe "How did you do it?" He rushed towards Julian and asked. Kiawe "How did you perform the Z-move without the ritual". He asked again. Julian looked at Kiawe and smiled. Julian "Well, my bond with Crystal is very strong, so strong that we don''t need any ritual to find a connection and tap into it, to us, it''s as natural as breathing". Julian exined and for the first time in his life, Kiawe felt true admiration for someone. He always wondered how strong Julian really is since everyone ims him to be very strong, but he needed to see with his own eyes and he saw it, but what he was impressed by more was the bond Julian had with Crystal. He knows how Z-move works and how hard it is for a pokemon and a human to bond and to perform such a powerful move even without the ritual, which is something Kiawe has never heard of. Chapter 1256: Search For The Next Pokemon Chapter 1256: Search For The Next Pokemon Everyone else also realized that Julian didn''t do any gestures to perform the Z-move, they also wondered how it was possible but hearing Julian''s answer just confused them, they wondered if they will ever be able to perform a z-move without the hand rituals but that is a question for another time. Julian was also very satisfied with the power disyed by Crystal, even though Crystal was holding back a lot, it was still able to execute a very powerful,parable to a few of its strongest moves which are Giga Impact and Hyper Beam. Crystal doesn''t need a Z-crystal to perform a move of the caliber that it just disyed but Z-crystal clearly is able to boost a move''s power, and from what Julian witnessed, a z-moves power can vary depending on the move that was converted into a z-move. The move that Crystal used to trigger the Breakneck Blitz was Pound and it still had the power simr to a normal Giga Impact so if Crystal triggered a Breakneck Blitz by using a Hyper Beam or Giga Impact, the power disyed will be even greater. Crystal went back into Julian''s pocket and looked at his students who are busy discussing what happened, Julian spent some time with them before saying goodbye. He still has other things to do, like train his Wimpod, catch some new pokemons and continue his investigation on Cipher. He went back to his hotel room and he received the video from Jenny right on time, he sat down on his bed and started going through each and every video that was sent to him, he spent hours but he did stumble onto something. And when he saw it, he took a sigh of relief as he realized that his guess was correct, he saw a few Cipher members appearing on the camera very close to the cavern that Julian visited a few days ago. Julian saw this as a win because an organization run by humans is a lot easier to deal with than a-destroying pokemon. Now that he has confirmed that it is Cipher''s doing, Julian can somehow manage to take care of them, the best thing that can happen is he encounters all of them out of nowhere and it will be one clean sweep, and the worst thing that can happen is they seed in their n and Julian will have to hunt down their leader to end it once and for all. But taking care of Cipher is not the only thing Julian wants, he wants to explore Al and collect every z-crystal he can get his hands on, being a trainer of his caliber, a gimmick like z-crystal is very appealing to him, and having an item that can double a move''s power is an ace card many trainers would love to have. Julian ns to collect more z-crystals and he is already looking into where he can find more of them, he can get a z-crystal bypleting the grand trial here on Melemele Ind and other inds, he can also do the other route and visit a trial ground and defeat a totem pokemon. But first, he ns to catch a few more pokemons, he has some pokemons in mind that he ns to catch. Though Al has a very diverse species of pokemons, the ones that he has any interest in are very few, he did encounter a very powerful pokemon yesterday but that pokemon is already at its peak and he cannot teach it new things. _________________ Julian turned on his PC and started looking through all the trial grounds that have been found here in Al. After looking through them, he started searching for pokemons that habitat the inds of Al to see if there is anything else that catches his interest. After an hour of searching through the inte, he put his PC aside and went to sleep. He will be free tomorrow as he doesn''t have to take care of the students. Kukui is in charge of them as he will be taking them to the sea for a fishing trip. __________________ The next morning, Julian was woken up by a very energetic Crystal who seems very hungry. Julian rubbed his eyes and got up from his bed and fed his pokemons before ordering breakfast for himself as well. Since today he is free, he ns to at least catch one pokemon that can potentially be a force of nature in the future. Putting on a pair of new clothes, he walks out of his hotel and heads into the dense forest, from what Julian has gathered from the inte, the pokemon he is looking for likes to hide underground and likes to drink sap from trees trunks. Julian knows that it will be very hard for him to find the very best pokemon of this species but when has it ever been easy. He knows he just has to be patient and he will encounter one. He walks through the dense forests and observes his surrounding, he is looking for traces left behind by this particr pokemon, he is also trying to find trees that are strong and have a lot of sap in them. If he can locate this pokemon''s food source, he can easily find the pokemon and he might get lucky on his first try as a food source is usually upied by the strongest of the group, and the pokemon he first encounters might just be the chosen one. Chapter 1257: Battle For The Sap Spot Chapter 1257: Battle For The Sap Spot After traversing the forest for a few minutes, hees across his very first trace left behind by the pokemon he is looking for, he looks at the tree in front of him and sees the deep cuts and crush pattern on it. He runs his hands through these cuts and feels the wet sap sticking on his finger, this shows that the marks on this tree is fresh and the culprit is very close by. He looks at the tree and can tell that it is not the best a pokemon could find but it is still doable, and it''s not like the pokemon who chose this tree is weak, it might have just been born and is still getting used to its environment. Knowing that the pokemon he is looking for is around here somewhere, he starts looking around to find anything that stands out and it didn''t take him long to find one, he saw a hole dug right behind the tree. Seeing the hole, Julian smiled and put a very desirable snack right in front of it, no matter how deep this pokemon is hiding, it will not be able to resist this snack. Julian is also ready to engage it in battle as he holds onto Wimpod''s Pokeball in his hand, it didn''t even take a minute before the pokemon rushed to the surface to grab the snack. As soon as the pokemon rushed out, Julian took a quick look at it and was disappointed, it is the pokemon he is looking for but, it is not up to his standard. The pokemon grabs the snack with its mandible and stares at Julian for a few seconds before slowly backing off into its hole. Julian sighed and continued to look for a pokemon he will be content with. After hours of walking around the dense forest, he got attacked by several pokemons but he easily chased them off, he also had sess in finding many of the pokemon of the species he is looking and a few of them even had some potential so he marked their nests and moved forward. He felt that there is a pokemon out there, that is just better than the ones he has found till now, he is especially looking for a shiny as every shiny has more potential than a normal-looking one. but there are also some normal-looking pokemons that can outshine the shiny ones. Having no luck finding the right pokemon, he decided to rest and found a small water hole to set up a small camp so that he can feed his pokemons and calm down a little. He released his pokemons out of their pokeballs and fed them. Wimpod is getting better at socializing with his older pokemons, his nature still makes him insecure around other pokemons but he getting used to Julian''s pokemon. It won''t be long before his Wimpod is not wimpy anymore, being around pokemons like Infernape, Snox, Gengar, Charizard, and Aegish will desensitize Wimpod to pokemons with a strong aura so he won''t be afraid of a stronger pokemons in the future. Wimpod''s training is also going smoothly as he has learned some new moves from pokemon and he has also be exceptionally fast, when he moves he seems like a blur on the ground. Even pokemons stronger than him won''t be able to catch up to him. After his pokemons were done with their food, Julian packed up and went back to looking for the pokemon again, right now he is trying to find a tree that is big and can be a source of food for the pokemon he is looking for. So he brings out Charizard and gets on his back as Charizard takes him to the sky, now that he has a better view of the forest, he looks around and finds many massive trees that tower over the remaining forest but these are not the trees he is looking for, the pokemon he is looking for has no chance getting close to such trees as they will be inhabited by very strong pokemons that are essentially the rulers of this forest. After getting a full 360-degree view, he finally finds a tree that looks like the perfect spot where the pokemon he is looking for will gather. Julian "Let''s go there, buddy". He tells his Charizard who flies towards the tree Julian pointed at andnds about 200 meters away from the tree as per Julian''s instruction. He doesn''t want Charizard to scare the pokemons around the tree, he sends Charizard back to his Pokeball and approaches the tree slowly. When he gets close enough to get a better view of the tree, he is happy to see that he was not wrong. There are several pokemons sticking onto this massive tree sucking on its sap, there are many pokemon species up there but the pokemon that Julian is looking for have mostly upied the tree as they are grumpy and very aggressive, and not many pokemons want a piece of them. Julian carefully observed each and every one of them to see which is the best one out of them all and he finally found one, a Grubbin with powerful big mandibles who has its hold on the best location of the tree which seems to have an endless supply of sap. The other Grubbins wanted to get that spot as well but the big bad Grubbin grabbed them with its massive mandibles and threw them down to the ground, it looks like Julian found his pokemon and he is excited to catch it but as he was about to approach the Grubbin something interesting happened. Another Grubbin shot out of the ground andtched onto the tree and moved towards the Grubbin at the top, the only reason Julian stopped is that this Grubbin is a shiny, and one thing about shiny is that they are very strong. This shiny also has massive mandibles simr to the big bad one at the top, the big bad Grubbin noticed the shiny rushing towards it and got ready to fight for the right of having ess to the best sap spot. In an instant the two locked mandibles and tried to push the other over, the big bad Grubbin seems to have the advantage because it has the higher ground while the shiny is continued to be pushed back. Julian watched this with interest, he is ok with either one of these Grubbins, they both have simr potential and simr strengths, now the only factor to winning this tussle will be the smarts, the Grubbin that wins will be Julian''s pokemon. Seeing that it was being pushed back, the shiny decided to change tactic and not push head-on as gravity is not being its friend so he started to move to the side causing the big bad Grubbin to turn as well. Now both of them are on their sides and are evenly matched in strength, they are trying to push and lift the other up so they can toss them down to the ground but neither of them has the upper hand and are stuck in a stalemate. Chapter 1258: Catch Out Of Nowhere Chapter 1258: Catch Out Of Nowhere Julian is now fully invested in the battle between the two Grubbin, one Grubbin is a normal one with massive mandibles and a mean attitude which is backed up by its incredible strength, on the other side, it''s a shiny Grubbin who also has massive mandibles and an equal amount of strength to go against the big mean Grubbin. Seeing that both Grubbins are having little to no luck getting the upper hand against the other, they started to get frustrated and slowly started to exhaust themselves. Seeing this Julian knew that this battle is about toe to an end and the only way one of them could win is eithering up with a unique way to counter the other or exhaust themselves to their limit and get attacked by the other Grubbins who have their eyes looked onto them. The other Grubbins have their eyes locked on these two Grubbin, they are just waiting for one or both of them to put themselves in a disadvantageous position so that they can hang up and steal the sap spot. As the two Grubbins were on theirst bit of energy reserve, one of them decided to go all in and risk it as it realized that it is just wasting a lot of energy in this fight, so the Grubbin which is the shiny one suddenly stopped pushing for a second causing the big mean Grubbin to rush forward and lose its footing. Seeing this, the shiny Grubbin decided to seize its chance and gripped the trunk of the tree with its hind legs and lifted its mandibles up in the air which allowed it to lift the big mean Grubbin of its leg and suplex it over its head and toss it down on the ground. Even Julian who was hiding got excited seeing the wless suplex that the shiny Grubbin performed and almost exposed his location. The big mean Grubbin fell hard on the ground and hurt itself, it looked back at the shiny Grubbin who is now upying the sap spot and decided to make a tactical retreat for the day, it knew that it would be wasting more energy if it tries to engage in a fight with it again. It burrowed into the ground and disappeared. The shiny Grubbin saw this and got very excited because of its victory and as it was about to enjoy the fruits of itsbor, it suddenly noticed numerous Grubbins making their way toward it. This was inevitable as the Grubbins were already targeting the shiny Grubbin, as soon as it won, the other Grubbins charged over knowing that the shiny is very tired and it won''t be able to fight back. The shiny Grubbin bared its legs into the hard trunk of the tree and was about to put up a fight but before the other Grubbins couldn''t even get close to it, a Pokeball shot out through the air and hit the shiny Grubbin. Seeing this all the Grubbins on the tree were startled and ran away while the Pokeball engulfed the shiny Grubbin and fell to the ground, Julian got out of his hiding and walked towards the Pokeball and watched as the Pokeball shook multiple times before finally calming down with a beep. His catch was a sess as the Grubbin had tired itself from that fight, it was a very easy catch for Julian, he was there at the right time to do so. A smile appeared on Julian''s face as he picked up the Pokeball, he didn''t expect he would see two Grubbins with equal monstrous potential, he could have caught either of them and it wouldn''t have mattered but having a shiny pokemon is still a flex. There is amunity of trainers who only catch shiny pokemons and are called shiny hunters, and these people would go crazy over Julian''s shiny Grubbin. Julian looked around and saw that the pokemons around him are very cautious about his presence as he could see them peeping through bushes and tree holes, Julian decided to leave them alone and walked away with his new catch. He decided to not return to his hotel but went to his room at the school, tomorrow morning he ns to wake up early and start training his pokemons again, he has been veryx on his new pokemonspared to the ones in the past so he needs to intense up the training process. Today he will let Grubbin get familiar with his pokemons and he will be put to training tomorrow and join Wimpod. He returned to his room at school before dusk and called out Grubbin from its Pokeball, Julian looked at its gender and found out that it is a male, Grubbin was really surprised by the change of surroundings. He was about to get attacked by the other Grubbins when a Pokeball suddenly came out of nowhere and captured him and now he is here, in front of an unknown human he has no idea who is. He is very wary right now because he doesn''t know what kind of situation he is in. Julian noticed that the Grubbin is very ufortable right now so he took out some pokemon foods that bug pokemons love to feed on. As soon as these snacks came out, the Grubbin got rid of all his wariness and rushed towards Julian and started to munch on the food. Chapter 1259: Introducing Grubbin To The Team Chapter 1259: Introducing Grubbin To The Team Looking at Grubbin who is devouring the food in front of him, Julian realized he has another gluttonous pokemon reminding him of Flygon when he was just a Trapinch. As Grubbin chomped down on the food in front of him, Crystal popped its head out and red at Grubbin curiously, it realized that it has a new friend to fool around with. Crystal flew out of his front pocket and approached Grubbin, Grubbin who is busy munching on his food noticed another presence near him so he lifted his head up to see what it is. Seeing Crystal just a few inches away from him startled Grubbin which made him retreat a few inches away in a hurry, Grubbin stared at Crystal and red his mandibles while hissing at Crystal. He wants to send a message to Crystal that he is dangerous and that if Crystal approached him, he will crush Crystal with his mandibles. Crystal, clueless as always, saw this as a sign of invitation to y so it flew towards Grubbin excitedly. Seeing this Grubbin got scared and tried to snap down on Crystal but Crystal is very agile so Crystal dodges it very easily and giggles, Grubbin feels as if he is getting mocked so heshes out at Crystal but Crystal keeps dodging until it decides to put a nail on this coffin. Crystal floated over Grubbin and sat right on top of his back, this freaked out Grubbin as he couldn''t get Crystal off of him, Grubbin started to panic and run around all over Julian''s room. Seeing this Julian just sighed, he should have known that with Crystal anything can happen, Crystal will either freak out his new pokemon or be friends with them in an instant and it looks like Grubbin got the worst end of the stick. Julian "Ok Crystal, stop bothering him and return" Knowing Crystal, he knew that it will continue to "Have Fun" until Julian puts a stop to it, as soon as Julian spoke, Crystal got off Grubbin and returned to Julian''s pocket and stared at Grubbin. Grubbin is huffing deep breaths of air while staring at Crystal in frustration, seeing this Crystal just giggled and pulled out its little tongue to tease Grubbin. Grubbin got pissed again and hissed at Crystal. Julian realized that this is going to be a very messy situation for him to deal with. One side is Crystal who is overly enthusiastic and friendly and likes to get very close to others and on the other side is Grubbin, the newest member of his team, he is very cautious of strangers and it also seems like having some personal space to himself. With twopletely opposite characters, there will be chaos in Julian''s camp. Julian sighed once again knowing the troubles but it didn''t matter much as he has been through this many times. After meeting a menace like Crystal, Julian is pretty sure Grubbin will be much morefortable around Wimpod. Julian called out Wimpod and introduced him to Grubbin, Grubbin was cautious at first but he is smart enough to know that he will be living with Wimpod and got acquainted with him. After Grubbin gotfortable with Wimpod, Julian slowly started to introduce him to his other pokemons, starting with Charizard and finally ending with Infernape. At first, Grubbin was almost terrified but seeing Wimpod being ok around them eased him up as well, the whole process went smoothly and Julian is very happy with the result. Today was a sessful day for Julian, he caught a pokemon and he has great potential and this is just the beginning, though the pokemons he wants to catch in Al are fewpared to other regions, it really doesn''t matter here due to theck of gyms and a league conference. Coming back to the present, Julian fed his pokemons and sent them back to their Pokeball, and went to sleep as well, tomorrow will be another busy day for him as he has to take care of the ss tomorrow. _______________________ Another new day and Julian is woken up by the bright sunlight of Al once again, he opens his eyes to find himself in his room here at the school as he remembered that he hade here to sleep here yesterday. After waking up, he did his usual morning routine of feeding his pokemon and preparing himself for the day. He could already hear the mor of children outside his room as students from all over Al started to arrive. Walking out of his room, he finds students running around and greeting each other with the phrase Al as it is a custom here on the ind. Julian makes his way towards his ss and is surprised by seeing all of his students waiting for him even though it is very early, even Ash who is known for sleepingte is here and excited to learn more from Julian. Julian "Looks like you all are very excited to learn today" Julian said while looking at the excitement in their faces. Lillie "We couldn''t wait to be here teacher Julian, we learned so much from your ss" Lillie said excitedly. Julian just smiled and decided to start the lesson today, he continued with pokemons and their types as he still has a few left to cover. And as he was about to start, Kukui walked into the ss with a smile on his face and every student greeted him. Chapter 1260: Pokemon Eggs Chapter 1260: Pokemon Eggs Julian looked at Kukui and wondered what he is doing here. Julian "Kukui, do you need something?" He asked. Kukui "Well Principal Samson has something to show you guys so he has summoned everyone to his office". Kukui said with a smile. Julian wondered what Principal Samson has in store and got curious, he looked at his students who also seem to be very excited about seeing what Principal Samson has for them. Julian "Then what are we waiting for, let''s go, ss" Julian said and followed Kukui along with his students to Principal Samson''s office. When they got there, they saw Principal Samson standing in front of his desk with his back facing them. Noticing their arrival, Samson turned around and looked at them with a smile on his face. Samson "You guys are here! I have something special for you kids to see" Samson said and moved to the side revealing the things that were hiding behind him, the students seeing them rushed towards them excitedly. Lana "Are those pokemon eggs?" She asked while looking at the two pokemon eggs on the table. Ash "Isn''t that one of the eggs that I brought?" Ash asked while looking at the pinkish-red colored egg. Samson "Indeed it is". Lillie "What about this one?" Lillie asked while pointing at the white egg which has flower patterns on it. Samson "This egg is from here itself while this one is from Kanto which my cousin sent here" Ash "I wonder what pokemon''s egg it is?" Ash asked. Samson "We will find out very soon as both eggs are about to hatch" Samson said which got the students excited, even Julian wondered what pokemonys inside these eggs. Sophocles "I have never seen a pokemon hatch before" He said while looking at the eggs with awe. Samson "Well, I thought I give you students one of the eggs to take care of so you guys can witness it hatch" Samson said. Hearing him the students got excited and were eager to take care of the egg. Samson "But you can only take one while I take care of the other". He said. Hearing him, the students started to discuss among themselves which egg they want to choose, and the decision to choosended on Lillie she chose the white egg with flower patterns. After the students finished choosing the pokemon egg they wanted to take care of, they returned back to their ss along with Julian. Julian decided to let the students be and not take a ss because they seem very excited about the egg. Lillie "Teacher Julian, when do you think the egg will hatch?" Being the most curious of them all, Lillie asked while keeping some distance from the egg. It looks like she has trouble even holding an egg. Julian wondered if he should help Lillie in getting over her fear of pokemons. He then looked at the egg and thought of the possibility of Lillie getting better at handling pokemon, Julian walked towards the egg and touched its shell, and looked back at his students. Julian "From the looks of it, the egg should hatch in a week, I am also excited to see which pokemones out of it". Julian said. Hearing him the ss got excited again, they couldn''t wait for this week to pass so they can finally see what pokemonys inside this egg. The students continued to y around and talk about the egg before the bell rang, and now they have to decide on who is going to take the egg back to their home. Julian "Lillie, why don''t you take it back with you, since you chose the egg, it should be your responsibility" Julian suggested. Lillie looked at Julian and back at the egg before nodding her head as determination shed in her eyes. School came to an end and the students left for their home, Ash joined Lillie to deliver the egg back to her house as she still has trouble getting close to the egg. Lillie seems to be from a very wealthy family as the car that came to pick her up is very expensive and made from imprable materials, from what Julian knows, Lillie''s mother is the president of Aether Foundation. Aether Foundation has a very well-known reputation as being a shelter for injured pokemons, injured pokemons are brought there and healed back before being released into the wild. Julian decided to visit Aether Foundation one day as they might be able to help him in some way as they are very influential here in Al, they even have a massive private ind right in the middle of the four inds which might be a target if Cipher ns to take over Al. Julian knows that Cipher needs Totem pokemons but how they n to use these totem pokemon is still unknown and for Julian to find out, he needs Cipher to move into Al, he did try to find more about them but it looks like the underworld is behind them and is helping them hiding their tracts which are making it very hard to find them. ____________________ After all his students left, Julian headed towards the yground and started training his pokemons, Grubbin is getting no time to settle in as he will be joining Wimpod in training. Little do these little ones know that the training that they will go through will be nothing like they ever experienced. Chapter 1261: Vising the Cavern Again Chapter 1261: Vising the Cavern Again Julian''s new pokemons learned that training is just another name they would call hell, Julian worked both of them to their limit but since he didn''t want them to think training is a bad thing, there is a lot of delicious food waiting for them after they were done with their training. And what could be more motivating than salivae-inducing food? He also made sure that they see how strong Crystal is so they have a goal to achieve. Seeing Crystal''s strength motivated the two but their main goal is still the reward thates after going through Julian''s hell training. Julian returned to his hotel room today as he missed the massive bed in the hotel, the other reason for him being here is Jenny, he called her here to of course, "discuss" things. ______________________ Another day came to an end and when Julian woke up the next morning to find his hand on something soft and squishy, he opened his eyes and found a beautiful naked woman sleeping right next to him, this woman is none other than Jenny, she visited him yesterday to of course "discuss" stuff and ended up sleeping here with him. Julian remembered thest knight as it was very wild, he could still vividly remember the face Jenny was making while he was balls deep in her. With how much he had his way with her yesterday, Julian doesn''t think she will wake up any soon. So Julian got up from his bed and started to get ready for school, bing a teacher was really a fresh change for him, since Al is not as huge as other regions he has visited, he can alwayse back to one ce and stay for days. During the few days he has lived here, Julian likes Al very much and has already decided to buy a house here for him to visit from time to time. Once he got ready, he saw Jenny stillying naked on his bed, deep in sleep with no sign of getting up any soon. He left behind a note and a cup of coffee before he left for school. When he arrived at school and entered his ss, he was surprised to see Lillie holding the pokemon egg in her hand, this surprised Julian as he wondered what could have happened that made Lillie ovee her fear over this pokemon egg. He doesn''t believe that she is still over the fear of pokemon but this is still a good start for her. Julian ''It looks like I don''t have to do anything, her desire and love for pokemon will soon ovee her fears'' Julian thought. He could tell that Lillie loves pokemons and wants to learn more about them but the only thing holding her from really getting to know them in person is her fear of them. Julian "Lillie, it looks like you overcame your fear" Julian said. Ash "Yes, I was there, A Sndid tried to attack the egg but Lillie put herself in front of it to protect the egg" Ash said making Lillie blush. Julian "I see, that''s very brave of you Lillie" Julian praised her causing Lillie to be even redder, the other students justughed seeing this and the ss continued, today is thest ss where Julian will be going over thest pokemon types that are still left to teach and conclude it for them. The ss went smoothly and Julian learned something during the ss, he learned that Ash wants to visit the trial ground and participate in the ind trail to win his very first Z-crystal. Hearing this made Julian worried but he didn''t want to ruin Ash''s day by telling him that he can''t go there as it''s dangerous, so Julian decided to give the trail ground a visit again and see if the Gumshoos he fought is in the right mind or not. The totem pokemons that the people of the ind rmend to battle are all very friendly towards the people of Al and ept their challenges but with a berserk and rouge Totem pokemon on the lose, Julian, can''t afford to send innocent trainers there who believe that the Totem pokemon wouldn''t harm them because of its history with the people of Al. After the school came to an end, Julian made his way toward the cavern where the Totem Gumshoos live. When he got there, he saw some Al Rattatas running around which soon disappeared from his sight when they noticed his presence. Julian ''Looks like the Gumshoos is still in charge of the Cavern'' Julian thought as he saw the Rattatas, if the Raticate had overthrown the Totem Gumshoos, the Rattatas wouldn''t be living near the entrance of the cavern and would be upying the deeper parts of it. Of course, this is just his estimation but he is 80% sure that the Gumshoos is still in charge, he entered the cavern and unlike thest time he entered, he didn''t get attacked by pokemons left and right. It seems as if the pokemons living here, recognized him and are making sure to stay the hell away from him, when he reached the center of the cavern, he could see that a very intense battle was held here, and that too by multiple pokemons. After his departure from the cavern, a mini-scale war took ce and the center of the cavern seems to have be the battlefield. He looked around and could feel multiple life forces around him and they were all very wary of him, one thing he could confirm is that these pokemons in hiding are Gumshooses and their pre-evolutions. Julian then looked up at the cliff which is the entrance to the cave the totem pokemon should be residing in, and the reason for him looking is because the Totem Gumshoos stepped out and stared at Julian. Chapter 1262: Town In Chaos Chapter 1262: Town In Chaos Julian looked at the Totem Gumshoos and could tell that this Gumshoos is much calmer than when he fought it but it is still very wary of Julian as it still remembers how easily it lost against his pokemon. Seeing that Julian has no intention of attacking it, the Totem Gumshoos jumped down along with another normal Gumshoos and a Yungoos. Julian looked at the two pokemons beside the Totem Gumshoos and could tell that they have great potential, the Yungoos has a very strong foundation while the Gumshoos has very potent energy. Training right under Totem Gumshoos seems to have worked in their favor, the Totem Gumshoos then approached Julian and said something, though Julian couldn''t understand what it said, he has a tranter in his shadows. It looks like the Totem Gumshoos is apologizing for its actions against him, this surprised Julian, he didn''t expect a pokemon to actually apologize to him but seeing how unique Totem Pokemons are, he didn''t think much of it. The energy here in Al not only seems to increase their strength but also their intelligence and that is why they have a helping rtionship with humans, they are also known to assist trainers in training as well. Julian epts the Totem Gumshoos''s apology and starts talking with it, trying to figure out what happened, and with Gengar next to him, it was not hard. He soon learned that some humans in weird clothing came and tried to capture it but it fought them and chased them away but it also sustained some injury and seems to have been injected with some kind of serum that made it very aggressive. Now that he knows the full story, Julian is relieved, he is also happy to see the Totem Gumshoos has returned to normal meaning that whatever its attackers used to turn it berserk can fade away with time. Julian then took out footage of Cipher he found from the cameras installed around the forest to confirm if they are the ones who tried to capture Gumshoos. Gumshoos looked at the footage and gashed its teeth in anger showing its hatred towards the people in the video. Julian then told Gumshoos to be careful and left the cavern, knowing that the totem pokemons can ovee whatever Cipher can do to them, but Julian also knows that this will just be temporary, if all of Cipher or its main force arrives here, things will take a drastic turn. When he got back to the town, it was already evening so he went directly to his hotel and rest for the day and decided to give his pokemons a rest, they both trained a lot yesterday and he doesn''t want them to hate training as it will have a bad effect on their mindset When training a pokemon, Julian cannot always push his pokemons to their limit every day as they are very young and they do not have the knowledge, experience, or determination to continue every day. It has to be etched into them by Julian over time. Returning to his hotel room, he noticed that his bedsheet has been changed and Jenny has left a note for him, telling him that she will visit whenever he needs her. To be frank, Julian could use her daily but Jenny will not be able to handle Julian daily so Julian decided to not call her. He went and fed his pokemons before going to sleep. Tomorrow he ns to search around the ind and try to find some trail ground that has not been discovered. _____________________ The next morning was the same as usual, Julian woke up, did his morning routine, and fed his pokemon. Today is a weekend so there is no school meaning he doesn''t have to go to school. He ns to explore the Melemele ind today and try to find those hidden trails ground, he wanted to see if Cipher has gotten their hands on these hidden Totem Pokemons. As he walked out of the hotel room, he heard amotion outside, he walked out and noticed that the streets outside has been destroyed along with trash thrown everywhere, the people around him seem worried about it and expressed their concern to each other. Julian walked to the hotel manager who is also among these people and asked him what is happening. Julian "What''s going on, is everything alright?" The manager turned around and noticed that it is Julian and sighed. Manager "No sir, the town is in chaos and the authorities are trying to get everything under control" Julian "What happened?" Manager "A mischief of Rattatas and Raticates have suddenly invaded the town and are now rummaging around everywhere, if they are not brought under control soon, they might damage the town to a point where it will be very expensive to recover" Julian "I see" Now that Julian understood what is happening, he wondered if he should help, but he doesn''t know how to. If it was a single pokemon causing trouble, it would have been easy as he could have easily subdued it but a whole gang of pests is hard to deal with, even for him. Unless he wants to destroy the whole town, he won''t be of any use. So he called Jenny to ask if he could do anything about it. After talking to Jenny over the phone, she reassured him that she doesn''t need any help dealing with the Rattata and Raticate situation as Kahuna H is already working to get rid of them and the town should be Rattata and Raticate free by evening. Seeing that it''s not a big deal, Julian decided to continue with his n for the day and called out his Charizard, His Charizard has finally reached the Champion status and has caught up to his other teammates and is going to be a great help to Julian here in Al. He couldn''t help Julian during the Kalos league because he was not up to the standards but now, he is ready, Julian looked at his ck shiny Charizard with a smile. He now stands 2.5 meters tall, about 8 feet 2 inches, and his wingspan is 3 meters. He has grown into the majestic beast that he was meant to be, Julian climbed on Charizard''s back and flew away into the sky while keeping his eyes on the ground. With Charizard''s strength, he could easily cover the Melemele ground within minutes but Julian ordered him to fly slow as he doesn''t want to miss anything. Chapter 1263: Search For The Totem Den Chapter 1263: Search For The Totem Den As Julian flew up on Charizard''s back, he looked down to the ground and couldn''t help but admire the size of the Melemele ind as a whole, the reason living on Melemele ind feels like living on a small ind is because of the size of the town. Though the ind is massive the area that people habitat is less than 10% of it. The rest of the ind is just the wild covered by dense forest made of tall trees. As Julian looked at the ind from the sky, he also saw the other four inds that neighbor Melemele ind. These inds are, Ak Ind, '' Ind, Poni Ind, and the artificial man-made ind where the Aether foundation resides, seeing that he still has so much to discover excited Julian He then brought his attention back to Melemele ind and took a focused look at it, trying to see if there is anything that stands out from here up in the sky, as his eyes passed through the whole ind, he couldn''t help but be disappointed. Since the ind is mostly covered with dense forest, he couldn''t find anything that stood out other than the dead volcanic mountain in the middle. Here in Al, there is only one active volcano that resides on Ak ind. Knowing that he won''t have any sess flying so high up in the sky, he ordered Charizard to fly low and keep a close eye on anything that stands out. With his instruction, Charizard dove down and started to fly around close to tree tops. Finding a trailing ground inside this dense forest was harder than Julian expected as these Totem Pokemons do live like other wild pokemons. Powerful wild pokemons are known to be very territorial and have control over massive areas ofnd and one can easily locate them by overserving the area that they reside in, but Totem pokemons seem very different. They don''t have control overrgend areas and they are also known to be very weing unless someone tries to get close to its den where it usually resides and these dens are very well hidden. The only way Julian cane across one would be because of luck. Julian and Charizard reached a part of the forest where most of the trees were growing very close to each other blocking of the sunlight from reaching the ground, the only light that reached the ground are from the small gaps between leaves Julian looked at these trees from above and thought of something, this part of the ind is very dense, and no one has ever tried toe here meaning that this could be a very good hiding spot for a pokemon. Julian "Let''s go down" Julian instructed Charizard and made him fly down, Charizard spat a small ball of fire and burned a 5-meter size hole through the tree leaves and then blew air at it to put off the fire, as this massive hole got created, the ground beneath finally got exposed to sunlight catching the attention of many pokemon living in the area. Sensing pokemons fleeing from the area, Julian didn''t think much of it, he knew this would happen as a massive pokemon just burned through the leaves and entered their habitat. Julian looked around his surroundings and saw that this environment is very rich and diverse so it should support a lot of pokemon lives, as he observed closer, he found that the ground beneath his feet is soft and would be really preferable to ground and bug type pokemons. He also noticed that some small dead nts around, they didn''t die because of pokemon interference but because of the massive trees blocking the sunlight, since most of the light doesn''t reach the ground, young nts don''t get exposed to sunlight and die. But there are still some nt species that seem to be thriving here, Julian and Charizard then started walking around and observing their surroundings to find any pokemons, if Julian cannot find any totem pokemons, he can at least try to find a young pokemon with potential and catch it for his pokemon team. Julian soon started to notice a lot of Caterpie and Metapods around, he also found some ground-type pokemons but most of this area seems to be dominated by bug-type pokemons, especially the Caterpie evolution line. As Julian continued his search, he felt something, he felt a small trace of Z-energy around him, as soon as he sensed it, he got excited as this proved to him that there is a source of z-energy somewhere near him and it could possibly be a Totem Pokemons den. And if it is not, then Julian wille across another unique thing that could have been created by the z-energy. He followed the trail of z-force, every time he felt the z-energy thinning, he would change direction and try to find the right path to follow. He felt he is getting closer to his destination and on the way he noticed a very rich and colorful environment filled with flowers and berries, even though the sunlight is being blocked by the tall trees, these flowers and berries are still able to grow because of the z-energy in the surrounding Seeing this, Julian realized that this z-energy is simr to sr power, an energy that is simr to sr energy. As he figured this out, he wondered if the pokemon called the Blinding One''s source of power is a star. If it is, then this pokemon could be even stronger than he imagined, a star can give out massive amounts of every over billions and trillions of years till its death, meaning if a pokemon is able to absorb all that energy will be almost unstoppable. But there should be a limit and Julian has no idea what this limit could be. Knowing that it is of no use to overthink about the Blinding one right now, he put the thought aside and tried to find the Totem Pokemon''s den. As he looked at these bright and colorful flowers and berries, he noticed some Butterfrees floating around absorbing the nectar from the flowers. Seeing these Butterfrees, Julian now has an idea of which pokemon this Totem Pokemon could be. He could be wrong, but he is 80% sure that the Totem Pokemon is a Butterfree as well. Chapter 1264: Encountering A Mischievous Bunch Chapter 1264: Encountering A Mischievous Bunch Julian knew that he is close to his destination and when he felt the z-energy around him getting stronger, he heard a loud banging from the direction he is heading towards, this, of course, put a frown on his face as he has no idea what is going on/ It sounds as if something is crashing into an indestructible forcefield, the heavy sound followed by a pulsing vibration echoed throughout the area, and knowing his luck, Julian can tell something is not right. He hopped on top of Charizard and shoots towards the direction from where the sound ising, it doesn''t even take a minute for them before they arrive in front of a massive empty field that is covered with flowers everywhere and right in the middle of this flower field is a massive tree that just outsized every other tree around it. The tree is tall but not the tallest one in this forest but this tree is huge with its trunk covering almost 10 meters in diameter and this tree also has a massive hole that looks like a pokemon dwelling. Julian looks at this massive entrance and hears the banging sounding from inside and because of the shape of the hole in the tree, it is amplifying the banging sounding from inside. Julian ''Something is definitely not right'' Julian thought as he looked at the massive hole in the tree, he could feel multiple life forces inside while the outside ispletely empty, this lush garden filled with beautiful flowers shouldn''t be so empty. As he observes his surrounding, he realized how lifeless it feels around here, even if the pokemons were scared away by the sound, some of them should at least be hidden underground in burrows or in the bushes but Julian felt nothing. Knowing that his answer lies inside the massive tree in front of him, Julian patted Charizard''s head and signaled him to fly into the tree, without wasting a second Charizard flew into the tree and what Julian saw surprised him. He felt as if he passed through a film of energy and what is in front of him is a lot of Cipher members who seem to have made this tree their hideout. Julian''s sudden entrance caught all of them by surprise as they instantly took their stance and sent out their pokemon, they are not going to act like idiots and start questioning this person. Since he decided to intrude on their base, they are going to take him down and then ask the necessary questions. Julian checked out this base and found about 20 Cipher members but what has his full attention right now is the caged Butterfree inside a forcefield. This caged Butterfree is none other than the Totem Pokemon and it looks like these Cipher members have sessfully captured it. The Butterfree is still trying to break free of the high-tech cage that it''s trapped in, the cage has 8 points at each of its edges that are connected by its energy forcefield The technology that is being used here is definitely ahead of its time, this just shows that Cipher has some really rich sponsors, presumably the Underworld. Bringing his attention back to the Cipher members who are ready to attack him any second, without even giving Julian a chance, a man who seems to be the leader of the group ordered the other members to attack Julian. "What are you all staring at attack him" The leader yelled causing everyone to attack in a union, their pokemons locked onto Charizard and sted their attack at him. Since they are a team that has been trained to battle alongside each other and coordinate and fuse their attacks together. So Julian saw some fire-type moves fusing with rock-type moves to deal more impact damage along with explosions, he also saw some water-type moves fusing with electric-type moves to deal more shock damage. This is the first time Julian has faced a coordinated team like this, even though he has a powerhouse like Charizard by his side, he wouldn''t want Charizard to take them head-on so he jumps off Charizard''s back andnds on the ground while Charizard dodges moves that are fused with electric and water type as he has a weakness to both of them. After dodging the fused water and electric attacks, Charizard sted a powerful methrower at the remaining moves andpletely canceled them. But it is not just Charizard that they are trying to target, seeing that their intruder has decided to jump off his pokemon, they believe him to be an easy target so some Cipher team members rushed towards him with electric batons in their hands trying to stun Julian. Seeing that they are nning to attack him made Julian smirk, he could of course let Gengar handle it but it has been quite a while since Julian has got some action himself. As soon as the first Cipher member got close to Julian, he didn''t know that this is going to be the biggest mistake of his life. Chapter 1265: Brutal Fight Chapter 1265: Brutal Fight The Cipher member at the very front, who is also closest to Julian, raised his electric baton and tried to bash it against Julian''s head, but Julian saw thising from miles away. With his superior physic and perception, no normal human can match him. As the electric baton came closer to his head, he moved his body to the side and dodged the downward strike, but this wasn''t the end, as Julian has a counterattack. Because of the force, the Cipher member put behind his attack, he lost his bnce as soon as Julian moved to the side, and using this, Julian lifted his knee and kneed the Cipher member right on his family jewel, and as soon as Julian''s knee came in contact with them everyone present heard the cracking sound. A few seconds of silence followed this before the Cipher member screamed out of his lung and started to roll on the ground while holding onto his crotch. This man will never be able to pass on his gene ever again. Seeing one of their team members in such a state forced the rest of them to stop in their tracks and look at him with horror, the guys couldn''t help but cover their own balls while the girls just cringed from seeing it as even they felt the pain this guy is going through. Some of them quickly snapped out of their state and charged at Julian again, realizing that they clearly outnumber Julian by a lot. Seeing these Cipher members rushing towards him recklessly put a smile on his face. A Cipher member who is in the front tried to strike Julian''s rib after learning from hisrade, who sacrificed himself for them. He learned not to attack Julian from upfront. The swing came from the right, so Julian moved back and dodged it. He then performed a low kick right on his attacker''s knee side, folding his leg and snapping it. Because his leg folded in a way that it shouldn''t, he came tumbling down like a rag doll and a shrilling scream came out of his mouth. But this is not the end. As soon as the first one went down, the second one came with another swipe at his abdomen, but he blocked it by grabbing his attacker''s wrist and twisting it, causing the bones in his hand to snap. The man screamed in pain and let go of the electric baton, dropping it on the floor. Julian picked it up and smiled while looking at the iing goons. With the electric baton in his hand, Julian went on offense. He ran and met the one in front with a flying knee, smashing his head along with his mask. He then sidestepped and did a turn, dodging a downward strike and delivering a strong spinning blow to the back of another cipher member. A woman came running towards him extremely fast and tried to knee his face, but Julian switched the baton to his left hand and threw a straight powerful punch and punched the woman''s stomach, sending her flying and crashing into others. He won''t discriminate, everyone is going to get the same treatment if they are standing against him. Within a minute, Julian took down every cipher member standing in his way while his Charizard also put an end to the pokemon squad that was in front of him. With a powerful Fire st from Charizard, it sent every pokemon that is on the ground shooting through the air and crashing hard against the inner walls of this massive tree. Charizard then flew towards Julian andnded next to him while staring at the leader of this group, who was slowly backing away from Julian. The leader is visibly terrified of the person in front of him as he is able to take down everyone on his team. Every member and their pokemon went through extreme training to be the best, but they got bested by this man in the ck coat. He doesn''t know why this man is here, but he also knows that it doesn''t matter because he foolishlyunched an attack on him. There is very little chance that this man is going to show mercy on him. "Back off! You don''t know who you are messing with" He tried to intimidate Julian, but this is not going to help him one bit. Instead, it just amused Julian. Julian "Go on, tell me, who am I messing with?" Julian asked, smiling from ear to ear. "I am from Cipher. If you mess with me, they wille for you. No matter who you are, you won''t be able to go against them. They have an army" He shouted, but it was of no use. Julian continued to approach him while he tried to back away, and in the process, he stumbled against one of the thick wires on the floor and fell down. Now on his back, he tried to crawl away, but Charizard flew up andnded right behind him. Julian approached the leader and crouched down. Julian "Look, I don''t like to beat around the bush, just tell me how many Cipher members are there on the Al inds and how they are nning to proceed with the shadowfication of these Totem Pokemons and I will let you go." Julian kept it straightforward, but he knows that these people never talk when asked nicely, but there is still a chance that someone is a coward and would spill everything, and Julian wouldn''t want to waste his time. "I am not going to say anything. They will kill me!" The leader said, which made Julian sigh. Julian "Fine, the hard way it is, then. Gengar, extract his memories" Julian ordered and walked towards the cage they were keeping the Totem Butterfree in. The Totem Butterfree stared at Julian with caution as it witnessed the power of the Charizard and it knows that it cannot fight against it. Back at the leader, he got confused as he heard Julian''s words and saw him walk away, but before he could even tell what was going to happen to him, he felt a chill run down his spine. He then looked at his shadow and saw two crimson glowing eyes staring right through his soul. Fear overwhelmed him and he wanted to shout, but his voice froze. He could only mouth his words. Gengar slowly crept out of the leader''s shadow with a wide grin stered on his face. He is going to enjoy dishing some pain to his victim. Chapter 1266: Extracting Memories Chapter 1266: Extracting Memories The Cipher leader wanted to run away, but the fear he felt from Gengar made him freeze in his spot. Gengar slowly approached the man with his hands extended and grabbed his head while letting out his viciousugh. The man screamed in horror as Gengar began to extract all the information that Julian needs. Julian ignored the screams of the man and walked towards the energy cage that has the Totem Butterfree entrapped in it Julian looked around the energy cage and tried to figure out how to release the Butterfree trapped inside it. He then looked back at Gengar to see if he was done with extracting the man''s memory, but seeing that Gengar was still busy, Julian decided to break the cage open. Julian took out the electric baton that he used to destroy team Cipher and swung it down on one of the cubes at the end of the energy cage. Julian used all his strength, and it was enough to break a rock. The baton contacted the energy cube and shattered it in an instant. The energy cage that surrounded Butterfree also disappeared, freeing the giant pokemon. The Butterfree is thankful to Julian, but it is still wary of him as it doesn''t know what Julian wants. Seeing that Julian has no intention of attacking it, the Totem Butterfree diverted its attention to the other Pokemons that have also been captured here. It then used Air sh and sent multiple des made of air at the other small cages and freed the Butterfrees, Metapods, and Caterpie trapped in them. As soon as these pokemons were freed from their cages, some of them made a run from their life and escaped to the outside, while others rushed towards the Totem Butterfree, thinking it was best to stay under its protection. Julian just watched from the sidelines and let the Totem Butterfree take control over the distressed pokemons. Julian then turned around to look at Gengar and saw that he was done with extracting the memories from the man and now the man is lying on the ground like a lifeless corpse. This man is not dead, but he has definitely suffered a great deal of mental damage that he might never recover from. At worst, he might be an idiot and if he is lucky, he will be a moron. (A/N- Idiot is someone with an IQ below 25, moron is between 51 to 70, right in betweenes imbecile with an IQ between 25 to 50) Julian "Share, everything you collected with me" Julian said and connected his mind with Gengar and started looking through everything he got from the group leader. As he went through these memories, he couldn''t help but sigh in disappointment. The information he got was decent, but it was not enough. These people are here to catch the Totem Pokemons and ship them out of Al, but before they could do it, Julian arrived and stopped them. He also confirmed that Cipher''s headquarters is in Orre Region, but the biggest information he got from the group leader is that everyone answers to nine people in Cipher who seem to be the admins of this organization. As for who the leader is, this man has no idea. The leader of Cipher seems to be a mysterious person pulling strings while the nine people run everything under this mysterious leader''s will. This information troubled Julian. Nine admins are a lot. Though he can take them all at once, there is a high chance that some of them can escape his grasp. If he wants to take down Cipher, he needs to take everyone out, as the things they are doing are very cruel. Even the past organization that Julian has dealt with hasn''t done anything like this. Compared to Cipher, Team Rocket feels like a local gang of mischiefs. Now that he knows where to find Cipher, Julian ns to visit the Orre region and take care of things there, but before that, he needs to get rid of every Cipher member that is on the Al inds and also put an end to their ideas about turning Totem Pokemons into their weapons. He has to make sure that Cipherpletely abandons the idea of taking over Al. There was not much important stuff left in the group leader''s memory. He is just a mid-level member in Cipher and he doesn''t even know what the admins look like. So if Julian wants to stop Cipher, he needs to find someone who is a very high-ranking member of the organization. For now, Julian can''t do anything but wait. From the information he got, the members who are tasked to receive the Totem Butterfree should arrive in a week and Julian will be ready for them. Julian hopes he gets hold of a high-ranking member during the process. So for now, he put the topic of Cipher aside and walked up to the unconscious group leader, and checked his item bag to take out the z-crystal that he had taken from the Totem Butterfree''sir. Julian took out the light green z-crystal, which has a natural shine to it and checked out the marking embedded inside it. The marking inside looks like a bug. Julian wondered how these markings formed and who designed them. Is it the will of the universe or something else? Though Julian has been in this world for quite a while now, the things that happen here are still mysterious as when he experienced it for the first time. He also wondered what was out there, out of this world and into the infinite universe of the pokemon universe. Chapter 1267: Ashs Grand Trial (1) Chapter 1267: Ash''s Grand Trial (1) Julian was about to put away the Buginium-Z the Totem Butterfree approached him. Julian turned and looked at the giant pokemon and wondered what it wanted, but he noticed its attention was on the z-crystal in Julian''s hand. Totem Butterfree is responsible for protecting this Z-crystal and handing it down to someone who deserves it, it failed to protect the z-crystal and got captured in the process. If not for this human, it wouldn''t be free right now, so it decided to hand over the z-crystal to Julian without making a fuss. It slowly backed away from Julian followed by the other normal Butterfrees. Julian watched as the Totem Butterfree flew away into the darkness of this massive cave. Seeing this, Julian realized that this tree ispletely hollow and the Totem Butterfree seems to live high up inside the tree. Julian looks back at the Buginium-Z and puts it in his dimensional pouch, now that he has found what he was here for, he decided to leave. He was also d that he didn''t have to battle the Totem Butterfree for it. Once Gengar returned to his shadow, Julian got on top of Charizard and flew out of the tree, and headed back to the town. The return trip was not as long as the one he took to find the Totem Butterfreeir. After he arrived in the town, he directly headed to his hotel to rest for the day. He also learned that Ash and Kahuna H have solved the Rattata problem as they received assistance from the Totem Gumshoos. He also found out that Gumshoos are not a native species of Al but were introduced to deal with the Rattata problem that Al faced. After that, Gumshoos were able to adapt and thrive in Al because of the abundance amount of food and prey to hunt. Another day came to an end, and Julian was satisfied with the results he had achieved today. He found a totem pokemonsir and also got himself a Buginium-Z in the process. __________________ The next morning, Julian woke up early and headed to school. He had to inform Principal Samson about the totem pokemonir he found and he also needs to look after his ss. Since he got to school early, there were only a few students who were running around and ying with each other and their pokemon. He headed to Samson''s office and found him writing down something in a notebook. Noticing Julian''s arrival, Samson stopped whatever he was doing and smiled at him. Samson "Julian, what brings you here early in the morning?" He asked. Julian "I wanted to inform you about a new totem pokemonir I found yesterday" Hearing Julian''s words excited Samson as he stood up from his seat and walked towards the massive map that hung on his walls. Samson "Come tell me where it is" He said. Julian then started to tell everything he saw at the totemir and how Cipher was able to capture the totem pokemons. If Julian had not found their, they would have shipped the totem pokemon away to another region. Samson "This Cipher is getting more troublesome by the day. I will inform the ind Kahunas about this" Samson said with a deep frown on his face. With his job done here, Julian headed to his ssroom and saw that his students seem very excited about something and were surrounding Ash, sensing his arrival. His students turned around and greeted him. Julian "What seems to be the asion that got all of you so excited?" Julian asked. Mallow "Today Ash is going to challenge Kahuna H in the grand trial to earn himself a z-crystal" Mallow answered. Julian "I see, then, all the best Ash. Hope you seed" Julian said. Sophocles "Teacher Julian, can we go and watch Ash battle Kahuna H in his grand trial?" Sophocles asked while raising his hand. Hearing his question, Julian gave it some thought and agreed to it. Julian "Sure, it would be a learning experience for you all to watch two elite pokemon trainers battle it out" Julian said. Since Ash is an elite-level trainer, his battle with Kahuna H will be very educational for these children as they will see how a pokemon''s move set and its typinge into y during a real pokemon battle. The students got excited hearing this. They couldn''t wait to see Ash and Kahuna H battle. Soon, Kukui entered the ssroom and saw the excitement on their faces, and wondered what could be the reason behind them. Kukui "You all seem very excited. What''s the reason?" He asked. Lillie "Teacher Julian agreed to bring us along to watch Ash''s grand trial against Kahuna H" She answered. Kukui looked at Julian, trying to confirm what Lillie had said. Julian "I think it will be a learning experience for them to watch a battle of this scale" Julian said. Kukui nodded his head and looked at Ash. Kukui "Ash, it''s time to go." Kukui said as he is responsible for taking Ash to the grand trail. Ash excitedly got up from his seat and rushed towards Kukui. Julian "The rest of you, follow me" Julian said and joined Kukui as he also wants to see how this battle ys out. Though Ash is an elite-level trainer, Kahuna H seems to be a very strong trainer as well, and he has the experience to back his skill. Chapter 1268: Ashs Grand Trial (2) Chapter 1268: Ash''s Grand Trial (2) Julian and his students follow Kukui to Iki Town, where Kahuna H lives. This is where young trainerse toplete their grand trial. Julian''s students are very excited to watch this battle and they can''t contain their excitement. Ash also looks very excited as nothing makes him happy more than a pokemon battle. Kukui and Julian finally stop in front of Kahuna H''s house and knock on the door. After a few seconds, the door opens and Kahuna H walks out with a big smile on his face. He looks at the students standing behind Kukui and Julian and guesses that they are here for the Grand Trial for Ash. H "Young Ash, I see you have prepared well, but before we start the grand trial, a ritual needs to be performed" He said being very serious. As the Ind Kahuna, it is his duty to keep the integrity of the ind''s customs and make sure that everything is done ording to the ind''s customs. He then looked at the rest of the group and told them to stay here as only the Ind Kahuna and the challenger can attend this ritual. The students were bummed-out hearing that they cannot participate in the ritual, but being the natives of this ind, they respected it and didn''t cause much trouble. H took Ash to the temple of Tapu Koko as it is a ritual where they prey on the ind guardian Tapu Koko and ask it to be the witness of this battle. When Julian learned of this, he remembered his interaction with the guardian pokemon Tapu Koko and how his Crystal scared it away. From the rumors he has heard about Tapu Koko, it is known for being curious, fickle, and mischievous. Even though it is the guardian deity of Melemele Ind, it is known to be very aggressive towards people who piss it off and soon forget what made its anger re up, but it won''t stop attacking until the very end. Julian wondered how this electric rooster, with anger and memory issues, became a guardian pokemon. Putting his thoughts aside, he watched as his students sat down and excitedly talked about the oue of this uing battle. Though all of them wanted Ash to win, they knew it was not going to be easy, as many people fail the grand trial and have never defeated Kahuna H. After a few minutes, Ash and Kahuna H came back and Ash seem very excited as if something interesting happened. Julian is not the only one who noticed this. His friends rushed toward him to ask him what happened. Ash then proceeded to tell them that Tapu Koko answered their prayer and will be witnessing his battle against Kahuna H. Julian also became interested and wondered if Tapu Koko will really show up to witness the battle, but with how things happen in this world and Ash being the center of most of it, Julian won''t be surprised if it really shows up. H "Ok then, Young Ash, let''s start your grand trail" He said and looked at Julian''s other students and instructed them to watch from the side. Julian also joined them and waited for the grand trial to start. Kukui joined Kahuna H and Ash on the battlefield that is situated right in the middle of the town. Some townspeople also joined in to watch the battle, as they were excited to see their Kahuna battle. Kukui took the position of the referee and called for the battle to start. Ash went first and sent out his Rowlet. Julian looked at this Rowlet and was surprised to see it wide awake, and he was not the only one. It also surprised his other students to see Rowlet wide awake. Every time Julian saw Rowlet, it was asleep in Ash''s bag and no matter what someone did to wake it up, it would not budge, so seeing it awake and excited to battle came as a surprise to everyone. Julian also saw the potential Rowlet has. He knows that Ash caught it recently, but it is already so powerful and has not evolved yet. From the looks of it, this Rowlet should have evolved by now, but it has not. Julian wondered why? If it evolves, it can be stronger, but that is always not the case. Julian wondered if Rowlet is one of those pokemons that refuses to evolve because they like how they are and would like to grow stronger as they are This, of course,es with a disadvantage as it will limit their growth speed, but it doesn''t mean they will be weak. A pokemon can not evolve and still be very strong, but the process will be very hard. But if there is a trainer who can guide such a pokemon, it would be Ash. Just look at his Pikachu. The little rat is a monster. No trainer would suspect that the little mouse pokemon on Ash''s shoulder can take down a second-rate legendary pokemon. Once Ash was done choosing his pokemon, H sent his pokemon into the battlefield as well and his choice was a Crabrawler. The Crabrawler entered the battlefield and started to shadow-box with its glove-like ws and beckoned Rowlet to bring it on. Seeing the fighting spirit of this little Crabrawler made Julian smile, but he was not fooled by its size. He could tell that this Crabrawler is well trained and has a lot of battle experience under its gloves. Chapter 1269: Ashs Grand Trial (3) Chapter 1269: Ash''s Grand Trial (3) With both pokemons on the battlefield, the only thing left was to start the battle, and with Kukui''s signal, Ash went in strong. Ash "Rowlet, use Peck" With Ash''smand, his Rowlet dove towards Crabrawler as its small beak got covered by ayer of energy, which then expanded and turned into a pointy cone. As Julian watched Rowlet dive towards Crabrawler while using Peck, he saw that the little bird is very fast and very silent. When pokemons fly, they make a lot of sounds, either by pping their wings or by splitting the air with their wings, but Rowlet flew without making any sound. Julian realized how useful this really is. If Rowlet can fly without making a sound, it can easily sneak behind its enemy and deliver a lethal blow. Julian then wondered if Ash knows about this. Since Rowlet was fast and Ash attacked head first, Crabrawler couldn''t dodge the first attack and got hit by the Peck sending Crabrawler rolling on the ground, but it quickly stabilized itself and got back to its feet and red angrily at Rowlet. The Peck was very effective on Crabrawler, but being a very weak move, it wasparable to a normal move from Rowlet. Ash "Great, do it again" Seeing it seed, Ash decided to do it one more time. It''s both a good and bad strategy. If Ash''s Rowlet is able to deal another blow with Peck, it puts Rowlet in an advantageous position as it won''t have used too much energy while also dealing a lot of damage to Crabrawler. Peck is a simple move that most flying pokemons know when they are born, so they don''t take a lot of energy or effort to perform. Rowlet once again dives towards Crabrawler but this time, it doesn''t go straight but curves towards Crabrawler left and right, confusing it, and with Rowlet about to fly so silently, Crabrawler can''t even hear the sudden shift of its wings in the air that would help it predict Rowlet''s path. Rowlet is able tond another Peck on Crabrawler, sending it tumbling to the side, but the feisty pokemon gets back to its feet instantly and locks its sight onto Rowlet. Kahuna H is also surveying his opponent and is quite impressed by Ash and his Rowlet, but the battle is not over yet. H has still not made his move as he is waiting for the right moment. No matter how good a young trainer is, they tend to make the most mistakes during a battle and H knows this better than anyone, as he has been battling young trainers for half a century now. He understands a young trainer''s mindset better than anyone. Ash "Awesome, let''s do it again. Use Peck" Ash gets excited as he sees Crabrawler has no counter against his Rowlet''s peck. Rowlet once again dives towards Crabrawler while using Peck. But this time H is ready. He expected this from Ash. Julian, who is on the sidelines, also noticed this mistake from Ash. Even if the move is sessful against his opponent, he won''t be using it unless it''s a special-type move. Peck, being a physical move, leaves a lot of counter-attacks open for the opponent to take advantage of. Julian knew that H was about to counter Ash as he noticed the subtle change on H''s face. As Rowlet approached Crabrawler from a random direction again, Crabrawler suddenly turned to face its attacker head-on. H "Now, dodge and grab on" Crabrawler, using its nimble feet, moved to the side and easily dodged the Peck while simultaneously using its w and grabbing onto Rowlet''s wing. Rowlet was forced to stop as Crabrawler caught it by its wing. "OH NO!" Ash''s friends all eximed as they all witnessed Rowlet getting caught. They were all very excited when they saw Ash was having an upper hand during the battle, but now everything changed. Julian didn''t say anything and just let them witness this battle, knowing Ash better than anyone. He knows this won''t stop Ash from continuing to battle. H "Great, now use Power-Up Punch" H instructed. With Rowlet caught in one of its ws, Crabrawler could inflict as much damage as it wants. It wound up its other hand and delivered a close ranged Power-Up Punch to Rowlet, rattling it heavily. Rowlet was rocked, but this was not over. H "Once again" Crabrawler once again hit Rowlet with a Power-Up punch which is twice as strong as thest one because the move Power-Up punch keeps increasing in strength every time a pokemon uses it during a battle. If this continues, Crabrawler will win. One more Power-Up punch and this might be over. Ash also knew this, and he knew his Rowlet has to escape from Crabrawler''s w. H "End this, Power-Up punch" H decided to end this with another Power-Up punch, but Ash was not going to let it happen. Ash "Use Shadow Sneak" Ashmanded. Suddenly, the shadow under Rowlet started to move on its own and stretched behind Crabrawler and attacked it. This interrupted it from using the Power-Up punch and it was also enough to make it loosen its grip on Rowlet''s wing. Sensing its wing finally free from Crabrawler, Rowlet zoomed away and escaped into the air. H didn''t see thising, but he didn''t expect any less from Ash. Ash''s friends also took a breather as they saw Rowlet escaping from Crabrawler''s clutch. Julian didn''t react and waspletely indifferent about it as he saw iting. There was no way Ash was going to lose like that. If he lost there, it would be really embracing because he is, after all, a very strong trainer. Chapter 1270: Ashs Grand Trial (4) Chapter 1270: Ash''s Grand Trial (4) All of Ash''s friends were d that Rowlet was able to escape Crabrawler''s grip, but they were still worried about the fact that Rowlet might lose because he had taken more damage than Crabrawler. Ash also became more alert as he knew that he cannot allow Rowlet to approach Crabrawler, he cannot risk his Rowlet and let it get hit by another Power-Up punch. Ash "Rowlet, use Leafage" Ash said. Hearing him, his Rowlet started to flutter its winds and sent multiple leaf-like energy hurling towards Crabrawler. H "Counter with Bubble Beam" H was not going to sit idle and let his Crabrawler get hit by Leafage, so he called for a counter. As the two moves collided, the Bubble Beam was sessfully able to cancel out the Leafage, which came as a surprise to anyone as water-type moves don''t fare well against grass-type moves. This just showed how refined and controlled H''s Crabrawler is and how efficiently it could increase the power of a rtively weak move. Ash''s Rowlet is a very new addition to his team so it won''t be as refined as his other pokemons, but this battle can sure make it grow stronger. Ash wondered what he should do when he thought of something. Ash "Use Leafage" Ash once again called for a Leafage, so Rowlet pped its winds and sent a torrent of energy leaves at Crabrawler. H "It didn''t work the first time. It won''t work again. Crabrawler, counter with Bubble Beam" H once again called for a Bubble Beam to counter. The two moves collided and created a cloud of smoke that Ash intended to use. Ash "Now, use Peck" Ashmanded H''s attention was locked onto the smoke cloud and his Crabrawler was doing the same as well. It didn''t want to lose sight of Rowlet, so as soon as Rowlet emerges from the smoke cloud, it will prepare for a counter. But what they didn''t expect was an attack from the side. The smoke cloud was just a distraction. Rowlet actually flew around the smoke cloud without being noticed by its opponents because of its ability to fly silently. Before H and Crabrawler could even figure out what was happening, Rowlet dove from the side and appeared right beside Crabrawler in an instant. It looked like Rowlet used Aerial Ace but it didn''t. It was just fast enough to it seemed like it disappeared and reappeared elsewhere. It thennded another Peck on the Crabrawler, sending it rolling on the ground, but the assault was not over as Rowlet continued using Peck and started to maul Crabrawler with its beak. This time Crabrawler took heavy damage, but H is not going to stand idly and let this happen. H "Quick, use Brutal Swing" As Crabrawler was being pushed back by the Peck assault, it mmed one of its ws into the ground and swung around with its other w, which was covered in darkish-purple energy. Rowlet got smacked by the Brutal Swing right on its chin and sent it shooting through the air, but it quickly stabilized itself in the air. Now both pokemons look exhausted as both of taken significant amounts of damage. Anyone can be the victor here and because of this, the mood around the battlefield has be tense. Ash knew he had toe up with something that would give him an edge and that is when he remembered something from just a minute ago. The speed of his Rowlet surprised him, and he knew that this can be the thing that would put him over H. Ash "Rowlet, use Peck" Ashmanded, making his Rowlet once again charge at Crabrawler. H "Let''s end this, use Power-Up punch" H also wanted to end this and if this Power-Up punchnds, it''s all over for Rowlet. As Rowlet dove in and was inches away from Crabrawler, Ash made his move. Ash "Now change direction and use Dual Wingbeat" Crabrawler was just about to deliver the Power-Up punch when Rowlet suddenly disappeared from its sight taking the pokemon by surprise but before it could even figure out where Rowlet is, it appeared right behind Crabrawler and used Dual Wingbeat, a single Wingbeat has a power of a normal attack so the move Dual Wingbeat is a high rate flying-type move which will be super effective against Crabrawler. Rowlet made contact with Crabrawler using Dual Wingbeat and sent it shooting and rolling through the ground before it was thrown out of the battlefield. Kukui examined Crabrawler and found it unconscious. Kukui "Crabrawler is unable to battle, Rowlet wins" Kukui dered the result, which excited everyone. Even Julian nodded his head. The battle was closer than he expected, but in the end, Ash pulled off a victory like every other time. Ash''s friends started to cheer for him and Rowlet. They couldn''t contain their excitement seeing Ash take the lead. H "Hoho, I didn''t expect the little thing to be so quick, but now let''s get a little bit serious" H said and took out another Pokeball and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield. H''s pokemon came out of its Pokeball andnded on the ground, causing a small tremor to run through the battlefield. Now every eye is locked on this pokemon, Hariyama. Kahuna H''s ace pokemon. Chapter 1271: Ashs Grand Trial (5) Chapter 1271: Ash''s Grand Trial (5) As soon as H''s Hariyama entered the battlefield, everything changed. The atmosphere became tense while everybody held their breath. Everyone on Melemele ind knows that Hariyama is a very strong pokemon, and many have seen its brute strength on disy. Everyone believed this was going to be a very hard battle for Ash. Ash, on the other hand, was just excited to battle Hariyama and earn his very first Z-crystal. He hasn''t even thought of losing. Ash "Rowlet, let''s do this" Ash said excitedly and looked at his Rowlet, but was stunned by what he saw. His Rowlet was just standing there on the battlefield, fast asleep. This took everyone by surprise except Julian, as he already witnessed it fall asleep right as itnded on the ground. The battle it had with Crabrawler must have been taxing for it to fall asleep. H "Hahaha, the little one must be very tired after that battle" H alsomented andughed, seeing Rowlet sleep in the middle of the battlefield without any care. Ash sighed and sent Rowlet back to its pokemon and asked it to rest for the day. He then looked at his Pikachu. Ash "Alright buddy, it''s up to us now" Ash said. Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and rushed onto the battlefield, and took his stance while staring at Hariyama. His cheeks then sparked, showing off his excitement for this battle. The battle started, and Ash once again went on the attack first. Ash "Pikachu, use Quick Attack" Hearing Ash''s words, Pikachu dashed towards Hariyama at blitzing speed. This alerted H as he has never seen a Pikachu as fast as Ash''s. Pikachu covered the whole battlefield in an instant and crashed against Hariyama''s belly. Pikachu was so fast that Hariyama couldn''t even react. It all happened in a sh. But the oue of this exchange didn''t go as Ash nned. As soon as Pikachu head-butted Hariyama with the Quick Attack, he was sent bouncing back into the air. Pikachu quickly used his tail to correct himself in mid-air andnded on his feet. Ash looked at Hariyama and felt that Pikachu didn''t do any damage to it at all. It was not that the Quick Attack didn''t do any damage, Hariyama''s health is very high, so it was like Pikachu ripping a small piece of paper from a massive sheet. Even though Ash didn''t see any visible damage to Hariyama, he believes in Pikachu, so he goes for another attack. Ash "Use Quick Attack again" Pikachu once again bolts towards Hariyama, but this time H and Hariyama are ready and have a counter waiting for Pikachu. H "Use Arm Thrusts" Hmands. Hariyama''s arms start to glow brightly and as soon as Pikachu is about to hit it, Hariyama thrusts its arm forward and catches Pikachu, but it doesn''t end with one. Hariyama continues to assault Pikachu with multiple Arm Thrusts and sends Pikachu rolling on the ground. Ash''s friends get worried seeing this but their worries fade away as they see Pikachu instantly recover. Arm Thrusts is a good move, but it is not strong enough to take out a pokemon of Pikachu''s caliber. Ash realizes that he won''t be able to take Hariyama''s head-on, but Pikachu''s speed still gives him his edge. Ash "Use Quick Attack to distract Hariyama and then use Iron Tail" Ashmands. Pikachu once again uses Quick Attack but this time, he is random with his movements and he is all over the battlefield making Hariyama confused. Pikachu is very fast and the bright light covering him adds more to Hariyama''s confusion. Pikachu quickly closes the distance between him and Hariyama and starts running around him. H "Use Force Palm" H tries to break Pikachu''s momentum using Force Palm, but it fails, as Hariyama uses Force Palm and tries to hit the moving Pikachu but misses and hits the ground. H didn''t expect Hariyama to hit Pikachu, he just wanted to disrupt his movement by this Force Palm and force Pikachu away from Hariyama, but he was surprised to see his n fail. Pikachu, being very nimble, easily avoided the cracks on the ground and continued to circle Hariyama before he finally found the right time to attack. With Hariyama''s back facing him, Pikachu used Iron Tail along with Quick Attack and hit Hariyama right behind its knee. This folded Hariyama''s leg, forcing it to go on one knee. As soon as Hariyama went down, Ash saw his chance to attack. Ash "Use Iron Tail again" Pikachu arrived in front of Hariyama and jumped up high in the air and did a 360-degree flip while his tail was covered with steel energy. H "Grab its tail" As Pikachu was about tond the Iron Tail right between Hariyama''s eyes, Hariyama pped its hands together and caught Pikachu by his tail in mid-air. This took Pikachu by surprise and gave H a chance to attack. H "Use Vital Throw" With H''s orders Hariyama starts to build up strength, Vital Throw is a very powerful move in which a pokemon just throws its opponent up in the sky and watches it crash into the ground but to do that, it needs to build up energy and it takes time. Ash was not going to let this happen, so he counter-attacked. Ash "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt" Pikachu let out his battle cry and released a powerful Thunderbolt and started shocking Hariyama, but to everyone''s surprise, Hariyama kept his hold on Pikachu''s tail tight, even though he is getting seriously damaged by the Thunderbolt. It doesn''t want to let go. After a few seconds, Hariyama was done with collecting energy, so it shifts Pikachu''s tail to one hand while still being electrocuted and throws Pikachu high up in the air. Hariyama also falls on its knees as the Thunderbolt did a lot of damage. H "Use Belly Drum" Before Pikachu could even fall down to the battlefield, H prepared himself, knowing that a battle is not over till he sees his opponent''s pokemon out cold, so he prepared for his next move. Pikachu soon starts to fall down from the sky and crashes hard on the battlefield with a big boom. Chapter 1272: Ashs Grand Trial (6) Chapter 1272: Ash''s Grand Trial (6) Seeing Pikachund so hard against the ground scared everyone present. And they wouldn''t be med for thinking so, as thending was very hard and scary. Everyone present thought that the battle was over, but experienced trainers like Julian and H knew that Pikachu still has a lot to give, and just like they expected, Pikachu started to get back to his feet. Seeing this, H decided to end this battle with one big move. H "Young Ash, it''s time to end this battle. Let me show you the true power of a Z-move" Kahuna H dered and shed his fightinium-z that was ced in his Z-ring and started to perform his z-ritual to attack the weakened Pikachu with the fighting type z-move. H''s Hariyama also started to copy H''s movements and z-energy started to re up around Hariyama''s body. H "ALL-OUT PUMMELING" It then clenched its fist and started to st massive fists made of energy at Pikachu. Each and every fist that hurled toward Pikachu carried the same energy as a Sr Beam, meaning getting just hit by one of these fists wouldpletely destroy a pokemon, so imagine what would happen if more than one or two of these energy fists hit. Ash knew that Pikachu can''t risk getting hit by even one of these energy fists. Luckily for him, Pikachu is back on his feet. Ash "Pikachu, dodge using Quick Attack" Pikachu bolted towards Hariyama as soon as he heard Ash''smand. He didn''t care if his body is riddled with pain. By using Quick Attack, Pikachu''s speed increased a lot, and he was able to move around faster than the energy fists could approach him, but these fists seem to be endless. The only way for Pikachu to escape from these fists is to get very close to Hariyama, where it won''t be able to hit Pikachu with it because it will also get exposed to the bacsh of its own attacks. As Pikachu bolted towards Hariyama, he was able to dodge the first energy fist which hit the battlefield and exploded, destroying the ground it came in contact with. Pikachu then dodged the second fist, then the third, then the fourth. All these avoided energy fists continue to destroy the battlefield as Pikachu got closer to Hariyama. Still, there is only so much Pikachu could dodge, the closer Pikachu got to Hariyama, the harder it became for him to dodge the energy fists and he finally got hit by one. Pikachu got smashed by three energy fists from the All-Out Pummeling, sending Pikachu smashing into the ground, which then led to his body bouncing multiple times on the battlefield. Ash "PIKACHU" Ash got worried as Pikachu fell hard against the ground. Everything seemed over but it was not. Pikachu moved and started to get back to his feet while gritting his teeth. At the same time, Hariyama also went on its knee. Hariyama used up all of its strength behind that attack. He had used Belly Drum to increase his strength and after using the z-move, itpletely exhausted Hariyama. Now that Pikachu is back on his feet, it is time for Ash to end it. Ash knew this was his chance. He looked at the z-crystal on his Z-ring and knew it was the time to use it. Ash "Pikachu, let''s do this!" Ash yelled and started doing the z-move sequence for the normal type z-move Breakneck-Blitz, Pikachu got on his hind legs and started to copy Ash''s movements, and doing so made z-energy surround Pikachu. Once it was all charged up, Ash gave themand. Ash "Pikachu, Breakneck-Blitz" Pikachu then bolted towards Hariyama with full power. Z-energy burst forth and the ground below Pikachu''s legs shattered. Every step Pikachu took caused mini craters to form below. Pikachu crossed the battlefield in an instant and smashed into Hariyama. Pikachu was so fast that Hariyama could only widen its eyes in surprise and take the hit head-on. Breakneck-Blitz made contact, and a massive explosion covered the entire battlefield. And when the ball of explosion dimmed down and everyone''s vision cleared, they all could see the result. Hariyama was out cold on the battlefield, while Pikachu is still standing. Kukui "Hariyama is unable to battle. Pikachu wins. Hence, the winner of this grand trial is Ash. " Kukui dered Ash the winner, which made everyone happy. Ash jumped in excitement and rushed towards Pikachu and hugged him. His friends also rushed towards Ash to congratte him as well. Julian didn''t think much of this battle. He had expected Ash to win, and he did. As Ash and his friends continued to celebrate his victory over Kahuna H, H walked towards Ash with a smile on his face. H "Young Ash, you are an exceptional pokemon trainer and I think you proved that you deserve to hold this crystal" H said and pulled out a Fightinium-Z and showed it to Ash. Ash looked at the Z-crystal in H''s hand with excitement as he is about to receive another Z-crystal but before he could even take the z-crystal from H''s hand. Everyone present on the battlefield heard a screeching cry which distracted all of them. Julian became alert as he sensed something rushing towards H. He recognized what it was and decided to see what happens. Chapter 1273: The Chase Chapter 1273: The Chase The cry out of nowhere made everyone surprised. Julian also heard the cry and realized what it belonged to, so he turned his head to look in the direction from where the cry came. And as he had predicted, a rooster pokemon shot out of a tree and rushed towards H. It appeared over H like a blur and then proceeded to change the Fightinium-Z with an Electrium-Z. Seeing the Electrium-Z instead of the Fightinium-Z surprised everyone. They all knew it was Tapu Koko as it didn''t take a genius to figure it out. Tapu Koko clearly favors Ash a lot, and this is proven by how Tapu Koko has gifted something to Ash multiple times. First, it gave Ash a Z-ring along with an Electrium-Z, which shattered after one use. It also approached Ash and battled him. But the appearance of Tapu Koko and it giving Ash another Electrium-Z still surprised everyone. But something else happened that went unnoticed by anyone other than Julian. As soon as Tapu Koko made its entrance, it caught someone else attention. Something that is one of the most dangerous things in this world. It was none other than Crystal. As soon as Tapu Koko made its appearance, it caught the attention of Crystal and this made Crystal excited. It has been a while since Crystal met its new friend and it will not let it go this time. Crystal popped out of Julian''s pocket and rushed towards Tapu Koko, seeing this surprised Julian. He couldn''t leave Crystal alone, so he called out his Charizard and followed Crystal. Seeing Julian get on a Charizard and chase the silhouette of Tapu Koko surprised everyone, as they don''t know why Julian is chasing after it. ___________________ Tapu Koko was making its way back to its hideout when it noticed something was following it, it turned its head and, to its surprise; it saw a tiny mouse pokemon chasing after it with a big smile on its face. As soon as Tapu Koko saw this little thing chasing after it, it scared the living crap out of it. It started to panic and increased its speed even further, trying to escape the menace that is chasing after it. Crystal, who saw Tapu Koko speeding up, got excited and sped up as well. Everything is a y for Crystal. The more you try to escape, the more Crystal will enjoy it. Julian, who is on Charizard, also caught up to Crystal and saw Tapu Koko trying to run away from Crystal. Tapu Koko is fast but not as fast as Julian''s Charizard, so Julian was able to catch up since Crystal was flying at Tapu Koko''s pace. Julian wanted to stop Crystal from fooling around, but then he saw Tapu Koko and Crystal increase their speed again. Julian sighed and told Charizard to increase his speed as well. Both these pokemons are flying so fast that even if Julian yells, they will not be able to hear him. By now Tapu Koko is shitting bricks. No matter how much it increases its speed, it is not able to get rid of the menace that is chasing it. Now forced into a corner, it has no choice but to attack. So it stopped right in its tracks, turned around, and used Shock Wave. Tapu Koko wanted to send a stern message, so it used a move that couldn''t be dodged. As Crystal rushed in, it got hit by the Shock Wave, but to Tapu Koko''s surprise, Crystal doesn''t seem to be harmed at all. Instead, Crystal let out a chuckle, inclining that it felt like a tickle. Now that Tapu Koko has thrown the first move, Crystal is not going to hold back, so it also decided to send a gift back to Tapu Koko Crystal then used Thunderbolt and sent it crackling at Tapu Koko. The lightning bolt thrown by Crystal was so hot that it immediately scorched the air, creating a defining sound. Sensing the power behind the Thunderbolt terrified Tapu Koko and it couldn''t do anything but dodge it. Tapu Koko quickly moved to the side and dodged it, but it still felt the air vibrating through where the Thunderbolt passed. Realizing that it was no match for the little rodent, Tapu Koko knew it needs to make an escape. So, without wasting any time, it made a run for its life and Crystal was about to give chase. But the crafty Tapu Koko had a trick up its sleeve. As it made a run for it, it threw a shiny object at Crystal. Crystal, being the curious, innocent being that it is, stopped and grabbed the shiny object with sparkling eyes, and this was all Tapu Koko needed to escape. It bolted and disappeared into thin air. Julian, who has been close to the scene for a few seconds, now also noticed the shiny object that Tapu Koko threw at Crystal, so Julian approached Crystal to figure it out. Crystal turned around and greeted Julian by waving one of its tiny hands and in that hand was the shiny object that Tapu Koko threw at Crystal. As soon as Julian''s eyes fell on the shiny object, he realized that this object was none other than an Electrium-Z. This surprised Julian. He didn''t expect Tapu Koko to actually sacrifice an Electrium-Z to make an escape. Crystal then rushed back to Julian and entered his pocket while holding onto the Electrium-Z, seeing how closely Crystal was holding onto it. Julian knew that it wasn''t going to part with it anytime soon. He knows Crystal very well, so he also knows that Crystal will be bored with it within a few hours and hand it over to Julianter. Chapter 1274: My thoughts Chapter 1274: My thoughts I don''t like to admit but thesest two months have been the most unproductive months of my whole life. I feltzy doing anything; I stopped writing even though I wanted to write just because I waszy; I started to procrastinate a lot. Telling myself I will do it tomorrow and thenze around the whole day to once again tell myself I will definitely do it tomorrow the next day. I stopped going to the gym and gained a lot of fat; I ate a lot of unhealthy food. Ipletely fucked up my sleep cycle, sleeping at 10 am and waking up at 5 or 6 pm. I wasted my time watching videos on YouTube just so that the day passes away. I yed a lot of games, and even though I was getting bored ying games, I continued to do so, just because I feltzy. But it all hit me a few days ago when I looked at myself in the mirror. I am bing fat, but the worst part was realizing that I was losing a lot of hair because of my unhealthy lifestyle. Losing my hair was the biggest blow. I realized that I need to stop doing whatever I was doing and go back to the days when I had discipline. So, from now on expect regr chapters. I promise I won''t go missing for weeks like thest two months. Sorry for that. I also started going to the gym again from today as I need to beat back the discipline in me. I am talking about this to you guys because you are strangers to me, yet some of you have been with me for the past three years reading my work. I can tell you things I can''t tell others because of the unfamiliarity and a screen between us, keeping both parties anonymous. ____________________ I realized that bingzy is the worst thing that can happen to someone. It kills your drive, your discipline, your focus, and many other things. If some of you are going through the same thing I have, I think you should pick yourself up. Some of you will have it hard while some of you will get back up within days. At the end of the day, it''s just your will against your body. _____________________ So ya, expect me to get back to regr updates, five days a week. And I would also like to hear if you guys have gone through what I have. People might think oveingziness is easy, but it''s one of the hardest things to ovee in my life right now. I need to be strong and stop procrastinating. Well, anyway, thank you for listening to my rant. You guys have a great day and I hope you guys give some little more effort in whatever you are doing to make your lives a little better. Chapter 1275: The Pancake Race (1) Chapter 1275: The Pancake Race (1) Julian had never expected that he would also get an Electrium-Z, but he weed it with open arms. And just like he predicted, after a few hours, Crystal got bored ying with the z-crystal and handed it over to Julian. Julian spent his time in his hotel room watching TV with nothing to do for the day. A few days passed, and it was quite uneventful as nothing happened in Julian''s life other than him going to school and teaching his students. Today is no different. Julian returns after teaching from school, lies on his couch and turns on the TV to entertain himself. As he switches through the channels, he stumbles upon an ad about a race involving pokemon and pancakes. Since it was someone unique and not heard of, Julian''s interest grew. He watched the ad and found out that the pokemon pancake race will be held tomorrow and anyone is allowed to participate in the race. The winner of the race will win a year''s supply of free pancakes. It is quite an appealing deal, but Julian has no use for a year''s supply of pancakes. But he wondered if he should participate or not. At the end of the day, it''s just a fun sport where his pokemons can have some fun. After giving it some thought, Julian decided to participate in it along with his new pokemons. Since thepetition is tomorrow, he decided to go and train for it. No matter how good his pokemons are, they cannot win apetition without practice. He looked into the pancake race and found out how the race takes ce. Every year, thepetition is a little different along with the challenges. Even trainers are asked to participate with their pokemons, and it looks like this race will be divided into two parts. The first half has both the trainers and the pokemons, while the second half of the race is only for the pokemons. In the first half, the trainers will have to drag a cart with their pokemon and pancake in it halfway through the race, then their pokemon will have to carry those pancakes to the finish line without dropping it. Julian wondered which pokemon he should use. Both of his pokemons are bug-type with no hands to support the te on which the pancakes will rest on, so they will have to bnce the te on their back while running. This is going to be hard but this can also teach his pokemons some control over their body. The more Julian thinks about it, the more he realizes that this race can work wonders for his pokemons. Now that he has thought out a n, he needs pancakes, so he gets out of his hotel room and headed toward the pancake shop that is the most famous in the town. When he got there, he saw Ash and his friends also in the pancake shop talking about the race. Since the door had a bell, his arrival caught their attention. Mallow "Teacher Julian, what are you doing here?" Mallow asked cheerfully. She seems very excited to see Julian. Julian "Just here to get some pancakes" Julian answered. Lillie "Are you also participating in the pancake race as well?" She asks. Julian "Yes, and it looks like you guys are participating as well" Julian said as he sees them buying a lot of pancakes. Ash ''Yes, we all are participating. Pikachu and I also n to win the whole thing" Ash said with excitement, and Pikachu followed after with his cute voice. Julian then bought Pancakes along with Ash and his friends and started training for the race. Julian decided to use Wimpod as the pokemon that will be participating with him in the race. Wimpod is very fast, which is good for a race. Now, the only thing Julian needs to work on is his bnce. He will have to run with a te on his back, which will be stacked up with multiple pancakes. Julian wants Wimpod to win this race, which will also help him build up the confidence that he really needs. He is improving a lot and a win in this race will boost it further. Julian is confident in his ability to train Wimpod to win this challenge. With all the training that Julian has put Wimpod through, his stamina is already off the charts, his speed is unmatched, and now bnced in work, Julian is about to create a monster that looks like a tiny little bug. Julian trained alongside Ash and his friends. Since this is his first time doing training like this, it is better to watch and learn. Julian knows that one is not perfect, even he, a veteran trainer, can learn from young children. The one who is willing to learn is the one who is guaranteed to win. After hours of training, he saw his Wimpod running around the field with a te on his back stacked up with multiple pancakes The reason these pancakes are not falling is because of the syrup that isyered between each one of them. The only way they can fall is if the pancake tower tilts too much. To win this race, Wimpod has to run fast but in a controlled manner so that he doesn''t cause the pancake tower to fall because of the wind pressure that is going to build up. Now that training hase to an end, Julian returns to his hotel and waits for tomorrow''s event. Chapter 1276: The Pancake Race (2) Chapter 1276: The Pancake Race (2) A very lively morning weed Julian as the town busts with people''s excitement and anticipation for the pancake race that is about to be held today. Julian looked outside his hotel and saw many people walking around with their pokemons holding food made out of pancakes. The vendors of Al seem to be using this race as a marketing tactic to sell more products. Seeing how lively the town has be, Julian can''t waste his time here inside his hotel room, so he walks out and heads towards the ce where the race will be held. When Julian arrived at the designated spot, he saw a sea of people moving around visiting shops, and looking at the mini concert that is being held right now. Julian also saw trainers put thest bit of effort into their pokemons as these pokemons try their best to bnce those pancakes. Julian blends into the crowd and looks around to see how people are preparing for the race. He wants to hear people''s strategies and how they are approaching this race, but after a few minutes. He gave up with a long sigh because most of them really didn''t have any strategy. All of them seem to be relying on their pokemon''s speed instead ofing up with a strategy. As Julian makes his way through the crowd, his eyes fall on a particr group of mischievous people. And this group is none other than the very unlucky team rocket trio. Julian was surprised to see them as he didn''t expect them to be here as well, but then he remembered that they were destined to get their ass handed by Ash and his friends every time. At this point, he just feels very bad for them. He knows how much they suffered at the hands of Ash and his friends, but they still try it again and again. Julian is just surprised by their dedication, even after so many failures. If it was anyone else, they would have already given up but these three still keep going. Julian gets close to them and sees a big Bewear next to them, but when he sees it carefully, he realizes that the Bewear is a robot. Julian ''Are they going to use this thing to cheat?'' Julian thought as he inspects the Bewear robot, but he decides not to do anything. With how their luck is, no matter how good this robot is, their bad luck will lead to their own downfall. Julian just needs to be in the race and win it. A few hours passed, and the race was about to start and Julian was already in the front lines waiting for the signal. The word of his participation in the race has spread. Even though people of Al don''t know much about him, some of them have heard of him and they are excited to see him participate in one of Al''s holiday events. Julian stood at the starting line with a wooden cart and on this cart was Wimpod and on top of Wimpod is a stack of pancakes. With every racer already in front of the starting line, and the event announcer ready on her podium, the race finally started with the re gun going off. Julian grabbed the handle of the wooden cart and started to run. He didn''t bolt away like others, as he didn''t want the pancake stack to fall. He already witnessed a few racers drop their pancake stack because they put too much energy into their start-up sprint. Julian knew this would happen, so his startup was slower than others. His Wimpod also didn''t have anything to hold on to that pancake stack, so Julian had to be careful at the start. As Julian runs forward, he increases his speed while also staying right in front of the pancake stack so that the air passing him doesn''t hit the stack. With his speed, Julian soon started to pass other trainers easily, and it didn''t take him long to reach the second half of the race. Being the first one there made people cheer for him. Even people who didn''t know him cheered for him, instead of cheering for the favorite, thest year''s pancake race winner. Now that he is in the second half of the race, he is no longer needed. He picks up the pancake stack and ces it on top of Wimpod. Wimpod stands as steady as possible and lets the wobble on the pancake stack calm down before making a run. Wimpod looks steady and fast and it looks like he is going to with. His speed started to build up faster and faster, which led to him leaving every other pokemon to dust. During the race, just like Julian had predicted, Team Rocket met with an unfortunate ident, but Julian saw something thatpletely surprised him. The Bewear that he encountered in the forest came out of nowhere and took away Team Rocket. The rest of the race was very exciting. Wimpod won it by a mile, but the position for second ce was very close. Ash''s Pikachu and the former champion''s Aln Raichu were neck and neck but because of the botch that the robot Bewear of team rocket created, it messed up the whole race and the second ce went to the sleeping Kom who belongs to Principal Oak. This surprised everyone but it was a very finning ending, and people loved it. Julian got a card from which he can buy a year''s worth of pancake supplies for free. Even though he doesn''t need it, it is very useful, so he kept it. And since Wimpod won this pancake race, Julian treated him with the most delicious pancakes he could make. Chapter 1277: Snowy Chapter 1277: Snowy After the big race day came to an end, Al fell back to its usual calm state. People were walking around like usual without the excitement that they carried yesterday. People have gone back to their usual life now that the race hase to an end. Julian also woke up from his bed and weed the new day. Today will be a school day, so he will have to hurry up and go teach his students. After following his usual morning routine, Julian left his hotel room and headed toward the school. __________________ Arriving at the school, everything was as normal as before, with students running around ying with their friends. What he doesn''t know is that a surprise is waiting for him. As he walks into his ssroom, he sees his students surrounding something that he cannot see, but before he could even figure out what they are looking at, Principal Samson and Kukui barged in as well and in Samson''s hand is a glowing pokemon egg. Samson "Students, the egg is hatching!" He yelled and rushed him. His arrival was instantly noticed by the students and they moved out of their way to reveal another glowing pokemon egg on the desk. Julian looked at both these pokemon and got surprised. He didn''t expect both eggs to hatch at the same time. Principal Samson brought the egg toward the students and ced it right next to the other egg. Now everyone is surrounding the eggs as their eyes are fixed on them. They can''t help but get excited wondering what pokemonse out of these eggs. Even Julian is waiting for them for quite a while. The pokemon egg that principal Samson brought in was sent here all the way from Kanto, so Julian is interested in what it could be. A few seconds passed, and the eggs started to glow brighter. Soon, cracks formed on their shell, and bright light shot out of them. Their wait finally came to an end as the egg shells disappeared as the pokemon silhouette started to shape up. As these silhouettese to shape, Julian is able to identify the pokemons that are about to hatch. Soon the light fades away, and two baby pokemons appear in front of everyone. Everyone in the room got excited seeing these two pokemons, even Julian is happy to see these two pokemon start their new life. Though these two pokemon look very different, they are of the same species. These two pokemons are none other than Vulpix. One is a fire type that is found almost all around the world, while the other is an ice type that is exclusive to Al and that is why it is called an Aln Vulpix. Seeing twopletely different pokemon of the same species fascinated these children. To them, the Aln Vulpix is the normal one, so seeing a fire-type Vulpix is a very new experience. And just like their appearance, the two Vulpix also seem to have very different characters, the fire type Vulpix seems very approachable and friendly while the ice type is a little reserved and cold to others. But this didn''t stop the students and their pokemon from approaching the two newly born pokemons and befriending them. Even Julian''s Crystal popped out of his pocket and introduced itself to the newborns. And within seconds, Crystal was their best friend. There is no pokemon on this world that Crystal cannot befriend, no matter how distant they try to act or be. While everyone is getting familiar with the two new pokemons, one of them is struggling to approach them and this person is none other than Lillie, even though she was about to take care of the pokemon egg and hold it, she still isn''t able to get close to them and this was noticed by everyone in the room. The icy type Vulpix named Snowy by Lillie recognized her by the aura around her. It knew that Lillie was the one who took care of it during its time inside the egg but when it tried to approach Lillie, Lillie backed away in fear. Snowy is confused by this and saddened that its caretaker doesn''t want to hold it, but Lillie quickly exins that it is her that is the problem and not Snowy. Julian watches all this from the sideline and decides to not interfere. If Lillie is able to ovee her fear of touching an egg, she can ovee her fear of pokemons on her own. She doesn''t need any help. Samson "Now that these two have hatched, we need to find someone to take care of them" He said. Julian looked at Lillie and then at Snowy and thought of something. Julian "Why don''t you let Lillie take care of Snowy? Since she took care of it from the very beginning, she should take care of it now as well" Samson "That''s a great idea. Then I will be taking this Vulpix with me then" Samson said and picked up the fire-type Vulpix and walked out of the ss along with Kukui. Once they made their exit, Julian decided to let the students y with Snowy for the day and let Snowy get familiar with people around it, as socializing is a very important step for young pokemons. If they are not exposed to people and pokemon at a young age, they will be very aggressive towards them when they grow up. Chapter 1278: Bringing In An Old One Chapter 1278: Bringing In An Old One Lillie continued to have a hard time around Snowy but with her friends around her, she was able to keep her calm and not get stressed by her own thoughts, and even though she looked stressed, Snowy trusted her and decided to be her pokemon. Julian handed Lillie a Pokeball in which she could capture Snowy. Lillie ced the Pokeball on the ground and Snowy didn''t even think for a second before touching it with its nose and entering the Pokeball. And this is how Lillie caught her very first pokemon. After a few hours, the ss came to an end. Since Julian didn''t teach them anything, he spent time watching videos on his phone. He then watched all his students leave one by one. He also kept his eyes on Lillie and Snowy as he wanted to see how she will take Snowy home. Since Lillie wants to connect with Snowy, she decided to take Snowy back to her house on her own. She sent away her personal driver and started to walk down the road, with Snowy by her side. Julian watched her leave with a smile on his face as he also saw Ash and Mallow closely following her from behind. Julian ''It''s great to have friends who have your back when you are not even looking'' Julian thought and decided to head back to his hotel, as he had something to do right now. His long wait has finallye to an end as the visitors he is expecting will be arriving in Al in a few days, and he wants to give them a grand wee. ___________________ Julian arrives in front of the hotel he is staying at but doesn''t go to his room. Instead, he walks into the lobby and makes his way toward the pokemon transfer machine, and calls Professor Oak. The screen on the transfer device turns on and reveals Professor Oak on the other side, he stands there in front of the camera with a big smile on his face. Oak "Julian, it''s good to see you. How has Al been treating you?" Professor Oak asks. Julian "Al is great, the people here are very weing and friendly" Oak "That''s great to hear. I hope my cousin is treating you well as well." Julian "Principal Samson is a very kind and helpful person" Oak "Hahaha, I see. Here I have what you asked for" Oak said and shows a Pokeball to Julian and puts it on his side of the transfer machine before pulling the trigger, and within seconds, the machine in front of Julian starts to buzz and suddenly a Pokeball appears on the small tform. Julian takes the pokemon with a smile on his face. Julian "It''s been a while buddy, I am sure you will love it here" Julian says and puts away the Pokeball and heads out again. This time, his destination was the isted beach where Julian caught his Wimpod. He then soon made his way to the isted rocky beach where he caught his Wimpod, and his arrival made every pokemon in the vicinity run away and hide. Julian didn''t mind this at all, as he was not trying to sneak up on them. Now standing on the edge of the cliff and powerful waves crashing against it created thunderous sounds. Julian then took out the Pokeball that he received from Professor Oak and released the beast that is dormant inside. With a big ssh, the pokemon that was in the Pokeball crashed into the water creating a massive counter wave against the natural waves. Because of the big ssh, all the residential pokemons of the area felt something dangerous enter the water, so they all made a run for their lives, abandoning the areapletely. Suddenly, the water beneath Julian started to rise up and fall down revealing the monster, a massive red Gyarados with tungsten armor on its head, and right in the middle of this tungsten armor is a shiny mega stone. Gyarados looked at Julian and pounced at him with his jaws wide open. If people would see this, they would see a ridiculously big Gyarados attacking a human but they would be wrong. Gyarados approached Julian with its massive head and rubbed against Julian happily. Julian "You missed me, huh?" Julian said and rubbed his hands on Gyarados'' massive head, though Gyarados is a scary-looking giant, he doesn''t fail in showing affection. Julian "You should go and explore the surrounding waters, I know you will love it here. Also, if you see any suspicious ships or submarines around the ind, destroy them" Julian said. Gyarados nodded his head and dove into the water and started exploring the massive sea surrounding the Aln inds. Julian watched as Gyarados'' massive figure disappeared into the deep waters, Julian brought Gyarados to Al to surprise Cipher who are making their way here to Al. After Julian cleaned up their base in the Totem Butterfree den, he made a Cipher member send a message to their headquarters about their sess in capturing a totem pokemon and it being ready to be transferred. With all the things Julian confiscated from Cipher, he knows where they areing from and how many. So Julian decided to surprise them with Gyarados. No matter how strong Cipher is, no matter how much experience they have dealing with very strong pokemons, Julian can guarantee that they have never encountered anything like Gyarados before. Chapter 1279: A New Threat Chapter 1279: A New Threat Julian decided to leave and let Gyarados explore Al. Gyarados is a lot more independent since Julian left him on his private ind and he rules over a vast area around Julian''s ind. So Julian has no worry about Gyarados adapting to the waters here in Al, there is nothing in these waters that can be trouble for Gyarados. Julian returned to his hotel room with no worries and decided to take the rest of the day off. While Julian enjoyed his free time doing nothing, his Gyarados went on and started exploring the vast waters of Al. Unlike Kanto, the water temperature here is much warmer, so Gyarados is having a fun time swimming around. His presence is, of course, noticed by the native pokemons of this sea and they are very wary of him as a new apex predator has entered their territory, and just seeing the size of this behemoth scared most of them The top dogs of this sea also found out about the massive Gyarados that havee into their territory and they are not going to back away without a fight. A dominant territorial pokemon always has a very vast territory under its domain and another alpha pokemon is not allowed to enter. Once such pokemon enters, there will always be a power struggle between these two pokemons as both being apex predators will not share their food source. And this is also true here in the waters of Al as well, but since Al is such a huge area with multiple shores, its territory is divided among four kings of the sea. And it has been so for years now, each one of them is equally strong, so none of them is able to take over the other''s territory, which has led them to a stalemate. But now everything has changed because of another apex predator that has entered their territory. With another big mouth to feed, the fight for resources will start again. While Gyarados continued to explore his new habitat, he wasn''t aware that the two rulers of this sea came in contact with each other to discuss the current dilemma that they are facing. Near the coast of Ak ind, two very powerful pokemon crossed each other''s path for the sole reason of taking out the intruder that has entered their territory. These two pokemons are Samurott and Kingdra. Kingdra''s territory is vast and covers a veryrge area, all the way from Melemele ind to Ak ind. Samurott also has a massive area that it rules over, as its area connects Ak and ind. These two pokemons are quite new to their position of power, as they acquired it very recently by dethroning the previous rulers. These two are also very ambitious and have fought each other, but were not able to get an upper hand over the other, which led to their current stalemate. These two could be described as enemies, but right now they don''t care about their animosity towards each other as a bigger threat is looming over them. Samurott [Is it true, about this new pokemon in your territory?] The Samurott asked. Kingdra [Yes, I have not seen it personally, but some of my followers have seen it.] Kingdra replies. Samurott [What is it?] Kingdra [A Gyarados] Hearing that this intruder is a Gyarados causes the Samurott to tense up a little, Gyaradoses are very dangerous pokemons, and wherever they reside, they dominate that area. Gyarados are also the bullies of the sea and they will attack any pokemon that crosses their path, so a Gyarados entering their territory is not a pleasant scenario. Samurott [A Gyarados? That is going to be troublesome. Kingdra [That''s not the only thing we should be concerned about. Kingdra warns Samurott [Don''t tell me it''s a lounge of Gyarados?] (A/N - A group of lizards is called a Lounge) Samurott asked with a concerned tone. It is known that some Gyaradoses like to travel in groups and can be very aggressive. They like to take over a pokemon''s territory and thenpletely deviate the territory from its resources and move away. Kingdra [No, there is only one, but from what I heard this Gyarados is massive] Samurott [How big?] Kingdra [My follower said that it''s over 15 meters long and is red in color] Kingdra says with concern. Samurott [15 meters? You are not joking, right?] Kingdra [That''s what my follower said] Samurott [He said, and you believed it?] Kingdra [He has no reason to lie to me, but I will still try to see with my own eyes and if it''s really is 15 meters, we will need a lot more help] Samurott [You go and do that. If this Gyarados is really 15 meters long, we are fucked.] Samurott says and leaves the Kingdra alone to contemte the current situation. With no other option other than checking it out itself, the Kingdra decided to search for this Gyarados and see if what it heard was true or not. Kingdra''s territory is vast so it will have a hard time finding a Gyarados, but if the rumors are true, finding a 15 meters long Gyarados won''t be that hard. _________________ Currently, Gyarados has found a nice space to chill that is filled with corals and small pokemons are swimming around feeding on them. These small pokemons are not afraid of the massive Gyarados because they know that they are not its prey, a pokemon of this huge stature won''t feed on small pokemon like them, so they continued to feed on these corals without much worry. But Gyarados'' presence surprised them. Seeing such a huge pokemon is a rare sight. The only thing that they have seen closer to Gyarados is a Wailord, but Wailords are also very rare out here. Some brave little pokemons even approached Gyarados''s head as they got curious about the shiny stone on Gyarados'' forehead and wondered if it is some kind of treasure because of the energy it is radiating. Gyarados didn''t mind these pokemons getting close to him as he wasn''t threatened by them in any way shape or form, he just continued to chill with his eyes closed but he suddenly felt a foreign gaze on him making him open his eyes and look at the direction from where he is being watched at. And he saw it, a pokemon ring at him with hostility, but he then proceeded to ignore it, seeing it was just a weak Kingdra. Chapter 1280: The Meeting Of The Kings (1) Chapter 1280: The Meeting Of The Kings (1) Kingdra thought it would have a hard time finding this Gyarados, but on its way, it encountered one of its followers which led him to where Gyarados wasst seen. And when Kingdra got it, it saw the massive red Gyarados sleeping peacefully. Kingdra [Looks like the rumors are true] The Kingdra thought as it looked at Gyarados with hostility in its eyes. It was angrier at Gyarados than being concerned about his size and strength. The reason is that Gyarados is sleeping on Kingdra''s spot, being the king of the water around Melemele ind, Kingdra is very territorial like every other king pokemon so it doesn''t like seeing Gyarados upying its spot. It wants to get rid of Gyarados but it is also smart enough to know that this Gyarados is very strong and attacking it right now would be suicidal. As Kingdra continued to send death res at Gyarados, it noticed Gyarados lift his head and look at it. This startled Kingdra as it didn''t expect Gyarados to actually find it, even though it is very far away from Gyarados. But Gyarados'' next action surprised it even more as it saw Gyarados going back to sleep andpletely ignoring Kingdra''s existence. Kingdra thought Gyarados would charge at it and attack it but he didn''t, and for some reason, Kingdra felt humiliated. It could tell that Gyarados ignored it because he found Kingdra weak and this was a p to Kingdra''s face. Being the top predator of these waters, Kingdra has its pride and it won''t allow anyone or anything to trample on it. Kingdra [Just you wait, I will make sure to get rid of you] Kingdra promised itself and swam away to build a team of strong pokemons. Realizing that it is not going to be an easy task, it knew it has to bring in all the kings of the sea to take out this Gyarados. The only problem is that he doesn''t know how the other kings will react to his offer. They might join in and try to chase Gyarados away or they might just ignore Kingdra and let Gyarados deal with it. The only one Kingdra can rely on is Samurott because its territory is equally in danger, as a massive pokemon like Gyarados can easily traverse around Melemele and Ak inds in a day. Kingdra and Samurott definitely have thergest stake in this scenario and they will have to fight for their territory against this Gyarados. Kingdra quickly rushed towards Ak ind to inform Samurott. Samurott noticed the arrival of Kingdra on the borders of Ak ind so it quickly swam towards Kingdra to figure out what is happening. Samurott watched as Kingdra approached it and it could already guess what happened seeing how fast Kingdra is approaching it. Samurott [Is it true?] Samurott asked. Kingdra [It is. That Gyarados is massive and shiny. We will need all the help we can get. We should ask the other two for help.] Samurott [But will they help?] Kingdra [They will have to. Sooner orter that thing will move into their territory and I promise you, they will not be able to handle it all on their own. They will need our help. Samurott [Fine, but who should we approach first?] Kingdra [Let''s go to Poni ind first. Even though that bastard is very arrogant, he fears losing his territory the most. It will be easy to convince him.] Samurott [Make sense, let''s go then] Both Kingdra and Samurott quickly made their way to Poni ind and as soon as they crossed the water border separating the two inds, an Ice Beam that was hurled in their way greeted them. Being experienced and powerful pokemon, they sensed and dodged it before the Ice Beam could even hit them. The Ice beam thatnded on the waterpletely froze the water, creating a floating ice field. [What are you two idiots doing here?] Both Kingdra and Samurott heard a growl, so they lifted their heads and looked at their attacker. Their attacker is the pokemon Golisopod, and it is one of the kings of the sea here in the region of Al. Kingdra [We are here to ask for cooperation from you. Kingdra spoke first. Golisopod [cooperation? What bullshit are you spewing?] Golisopod retorted, as it doesn''t believe these intruders who just entered its territory without its permission. Samurott [You must have heard about the intruder that has just entered our waters, right?] Golisopod [Yes, I have. What about it?] Samurott [We are nning to team up and get rid of it.] Golisopod [Why would I even do that? It''s not my problem, and it''s not in my territory. Go and deal with it on your own.] It answered and tried to chase away these intruders as it still felt threatened by their existence here. It is confident in its ability to fight one of them, but if both of them attack at the same time, it knows it will have to run away and abandon its territory. Kingdra [It won''t just be our problem. If we don''t take action right now, we all will lose our territory] Kingdra intervened and warned Golisopod. Golisopod [What do you mean? What is this thing that has you both riled up so much?] Golisopod became a little wary as he saw these two kingse together and ask for assistance. It knows these two don''t get along, but these twoing together to remove this intruder is enough of a warning for Golisopod to be wary and take action. But before it does anything, it needs to know what''s going on. Chapter 1281: 3 Vs 1 (1) Chapter 1281: 3 Vs 1 (1) Golisopod could tell that these two peers of his are rattled by this intruder, enough for these mortal enemies to team up to get rid of it. Now Golisopod has to be very cautious about its decision and how he will handle this situation; for that, it needs a deeper understanding of the current situation. Kingdra [The intruder that entered my territory is a Gyarados] Golisopod [What''s the problem with a Gyarados? I don''t think it''s a big deal. Both of you can team up and deal with it even if it is slightly stronger.] Kingdra [If we could do that, we wouldn''t be here. I would have already confronted it. The real problem is that this Gyarados is over 15 meters long. I have never seen such a big Gyarados. I just know that just the two of us won''t be enough to take down this Gyarados.] Golisopod [What? 15 meters, you aren''t kidding me, right?] Kingdra [Why would we even bother lying and wasting our time? Right now, I am only concerned about our territory and if we don''t act now, trust me, that thing will take over. That Gyarados is too big to be satisfied with just my part of the sea. After he is done resting there, he will go for Samurott, thene after yours] Golisopod didn''t like what he heard from Kingdra, but he is not going to ignore the looming threat that is about to fall on him. Golisopod [Do you think the three of us can take down this Gyarados?] Golisopod asks, as he really doesn''t want to lose his territory. Samurott [No, we need all four of us.] Samurott stepped up and answered. Golisopod [All four, are you kidding me? That old bastard won''t even bother to talk to us, let alone join this little crusade of ours.] Samurott [Look, we have to try. The faster we move, the better it is for us. We have to catch this Gyarados by surprise as we can''t let him getfortable and then target us one by one.] Golisopod [Fine, I will join in, but if something is not right, I won''t say a word before leaving you all on your own.] Kingdra [Fine by me] Samurott [Same here] Golisopod [Alright. Now where?] Kingdra [Of course, to ind, we still need to convince that old bastard.] Samurott [let''s not waste any more time.] ____________________ None of the sea creatures inhabiting the waters of Al expected to see the three kings together moving towards ind, but here they are right in front of them. All these pokemons moved out of the way and made sure to keep some distance from the three kings as no one wants to mess with them, but there were still some brave pokemons that wanted to figure out why these three kings are together and why they are heading towards ind. The three kings noticed that they are being followed by some pokemons but they didn''t bother to chase them away as their main goal right now is to get to ind and convince the fourth king to join them and get rid of Gyarados. After swimming at full speed, the three kings finally arrived at the water border of ind, but they were not greeted by the fourth king. Golisopod [I don''t see that old bastard anywhere.] Golisopod says as he looks around. Most of the time, the king would immediately sense the intruder in their territory ande to check on them, but right now, there is no sign of the fourth king. Kingdra [He should be somewhere around. The bastard is too big to just disappear like that.] Kingdra said while keeping his senses vignt. The three kings kept their eyes wide up, while all their other senses were working on max settings. They knew the fourth king is about to attack them as they have developed these senses through years of experience and battling. The three of them stuck close to each other so they don''t get blindsided, but even then there were a few blind spots that could be used against them, and the fourth king did. The three kings didn''t even see iting but they all felt it right before it happened, they felt the water underneath them heat up rapidly. All three of them became aware that the attack was aimed at them from below, but it was toote. The three of them got smashed by a very powerful Hyper Beam that hit them so hard and it sent them shooting vertically up in the air. Luckily the power of the Hyper Beam was distributed between the three of them and they already are very strong pokemons, so they should survive this. Kingdra ''Fucking cunning bastard, attacked us from bellow'' Kingdra thought as he started free falling from the sky along with Samurott and Golisopod, as they were falling down, they saw a massive blue body surface up the sea floor as two big beady eyes stared at them. Those eyes are very big, but whenpared to the body that it belongs to, they look very small. They saw their attacker open his mouth wide, trying to attack them again, but this time, they were ready. All three of them looked at each other before nodding their heads. They all decided to attack together. Kingdra used Dragon Pulse, Samurott used Hydro Pump, and Golisopod used Ice Beam. These three attacks synchronized and spiraled around each other and shot towards their target. The fourth king also released a full-power Hyper Beam to counter this attack shot at him. A full-power Hyper Beam, and abination of three very powerful moves collided and the results were as expected. A single king cannot take down the other threebined. Thebination just tore through the Hyper Beam and hit the fourth king right on its massive, bulbous head. The hit almost flipped its giant body, but because of its powerful muscles, it was able to stabilize itself, but that doesn''t mean it came out unscathed. That attack rocked its whole body and now it feels very dizzy. The best option for it right now is to make an escape, but that is not an option because the other three kings are a lot faster than him. He will not be able to outrun them. His only hope is that their fall causes more damage to them. Chapter 1282: 3 Vs 1 (2) Chapter 1282: 3 Vs 1 (2) The fourth king watched as his enemy fell from the sky, and it was ready for another attack. He knows he needs to take out all three of them with one move, but it also has to be a strong one. So without giving it a second thought, he started to swim toward the falling kings, and halfway through; he dove into the water, creating a big ssh. The three kings also crashed into the water, but it rattled them. Falling from such height directly into the water is the same as falling on a hard surface. All three of them grimaced in pain, but before they could even collect their thoughts and stabilize, they saw the water in front of them jump up, and behind this rising water wall is a massive Wailord which is about to Body m them. Wailord knew it needed to take them out in one move or at least cause severe damage and it also has to take out all three of them, so what''s a better move other than a Body m performed by a pokemon that is 14 meters long and weighs around 400 kgs. (A/N - Yes Wailord only ways 398 kgs even though it''s fucking huge. Pokemons make no sense. Well, it can at least float in the air if it wants to.) The looming shadow of death scared the shit of the three kings, but they are not going to back down so easily. They once againbined their powers and attacked the Wailord. The fusion of Ice Beam, Dragon Pulse, and Hydro Pump once again worked their magic as they smashed into Wailord''s stomach. But this didn''t stop Wailord''s descent on the three kings and they got crushed under Wailord. A big ssh followed, and then silence fell over. Every pokemon in the vicinity has already evacuated, but they are keeping a close eye on the battle. They don''t know who won, the Wailord, or the three other kings, but they are eager to see the results. Suddenly four pokemons floated up the surface, Wailord, Golisopod, Samurott, and Kingdra, all of them out cold. The pokemons who witnessed this were shocked. All four kings are down even though it was a 3 vs 1 situation. This just proved that the Wailord is much stronger than the other three kings, but that doesn''t matter right now. What''s more important is that all four kings are down and in the wild, chances like this are slim to none. If a pokemon is able to feed on these fallen kings, it will be able to grow stronger. Slowly but surely, a few brave pokemons decided to approach the kings first and check their condition and if they are still out cold, it would be a feast. The most ideal target will be Kingdra as it is the smallest, but the energy it contains in its body is no less than the other kings. Too bad for these pokemons, these four didn''t be the kings of this region for no reason, and this amount of damage won''t be able to keep them down for long. The first one to wake up is Golisopod, as he has the highest defense of all of them and he was able to neglect all serious damage his body could have suffered. And as soon as he opened his eyes, he sensed a few pokemons approaching them, so without any hesitation; it used Ice Beam on these pokemons and sent them shooting through the air. Seeing that one of the kings has woken up, the rest of the pokemons who were thinking of approaching the kings stopped their thoughts and decided to just watch. Soon after, both Kingdra and Samurott woke up and shook their head to collect themselves, then all three of them looked at each other and then at the Wailord that is still unconscious. Golisopod [This bastard, he attacked us before we could even speak.] Golisopod yelled in frustration. Samurott [He is more aggressive than before. It will be hard to convince him.] Kingdra [But we have no choice] Golisopod [Fuck that, let''s just consume him. We can then develop our strength and grow stronger.] Kingdra [But that will take time and we don''t have any to spare, that Gyarados is too strong. Right now we all need to group up and take it down, or else we will just be its dinner.] Golisopod calmed down hearing Kingdra''s response as he knows Kingdra is right, they can grow stronger by consuming Wailord but it will take a lot of time topletely consume Wailord because of his size and then it will take additional time to convert everything they have eaten into their own energy. Kingdra [No matter how much we dislike him, we need him right now. Not only is he the strongest, he also has the most experience in defending these waters than any of us, and it won''t be his first time defending these waters against a Gyarados. You all must have heard about his battle against a ferocious Gyarados, the previous king of ind.] Kingdra asks, and the two respond by nodding their head. Before they were kings, the waters of Al were under a different reign and ind had the most vicious king of all, a very powerful Gyarados. And this Wailord right here is the one who defeated that Gyarados and chased it away, but that Gyarados was stubborn and tried to reim but failed every time because this Wailord is very strong. Only the strongest of all can rule the waters of ind and all three of them know that Wailord is their best chance against this intruding goliath, the giant red Gyarados. Samurott [Let''s wait for him to wake up and then we can knock some sense into him. He should also know about the intruder.] Samurott voiced his opinion and the other two agreed. Chapter 1283: The Four Team Up Chapter 1283: The Four Team Up The power behind those synchronized moves was greater than the three kings expected. In the moment of crisis, they were able to bring the most out of their moves, which led to knocking Wailord out before it evennded on them with a Body m. It''s been a few minutes now and Wailord is still down but he is showing signs of getting up, lucky for the other three kings, they didn''t have to wait any longer as Wailord finally opened his eyes and red angrily at the other three kings. Though he feels very weak right now, he is ready to attack again. He thought he was a goner after he took that attack head-on, but he is surprised to see himself alive, and now that he is alive, he won''t waste his time fighting with these idiots. He will try to make a run for his life and to do that, he needs to distract them. After that, he will make a run for his life and dive as deep as possible. There is no way these three will be able to follow it deep down the ocean as the pressure down there will be too much for them to handle. His body is made for deep diving, so he should be fine. As he is about to open his mouth andunch another attack to distract the three kings, he was stopped by Kingdra. Kingdra [WAIT!!! We are not here to fight.] Kingdra shouted. Wailord stopped and stared at Kingdra, wondering what he is babbling about. Wailord [Don''t bullshit me, the three of you grouping up and rushing into my territory! Do you think I am an idiot?] Wailord expressed his thoughts, and he was not wrong to think so. Three kings of Aln sea teaming up and entering his territory is a scary thought. Kingdra [Look, it''s really not what it looks like. We are actually here to ask for cooperation.] Wailord [Cooperation? What Cooperation? I don''t want to cooperate, get the fuck out of my territory.] Samurott [You wouldn''t be saying that in a few days.] Samurott said. Wailord [What do you mean by that?] Golisopod [It''s the intruder. We are worried about him.] Wailord [The intruder? Hahaha, you fucking pussies. You got scared just because of one intruder?] Wailord started tough at the three kings, seeing them chicken out and join hands just because an intruder has entered their kingdom. Golisopod [I wouldn''t beughing if I knew what we are going up against] Wailord [Hahaha, I am so scaredddd!! I might even join this little group to defeat just ONE pokemon, hahahaha.] Wailord continued tough. Kingdra [It''s a Gyarados] Wailord suddenly stoppedughing as he knows that a Gyarados is big trouble but he is still very confident in his abilities. Wailord [Hahaha, so what if it''s a Gyarados? I have defeated multiple Gyarados throughout my life; I don''t need to team up with you chumps.] Kingdra [It''s over 15 meters long] As soon as these words came out of Kingdra''s mouth, Wailord''sughter stopped and for the first time, it became serious. A regr Gyarados is already a very dangerous pokemon, the Gyarados King that it defeated was a full-grown Gyarados that was 7.5 meters long and 7.5 is considered very big for a Gyarados as a regr Gyarados is only about 6.5 meters long. To defeat the previous king Gyarados, Wailord had to put all his effort into it. He risked his life to fatally wound the Gyarados and then use a special berry to recover and finish the job. And now Kingdra says there is a 15-meter-long Gyarados in the Aln sea, Wailord is shaken. He knows better than anyone how vicious Gyaradoses really are. And a 15-meter one, Wailord has never seen or even heard of something this big before. Wailord doesn''t show it, but he is panicking inside. Wailord [Are you sure?] Kingdra [I saw it with my own eyes. It''s big and red. That is why we want to take it out. That thing is a danger to our rule. If we don''t team up, we will lose everything.] Wailord [Fine, we will attack tomorrow at dusk. We all exhausted our energy fighting each other. It''s better to rest and fight this thing at full strength.] Kingdra [All right, you three meet me at Melemele ind tomorrow at dusk.] Now that everyone hase to an agreement, the kings went back to their own kingdoms to prepare for the war tomorrow. ___________________ While all this happened behind Gyarados'' back, Gyarados is chilling on his own in the warm waters of Melemele ind while getting used to his surrounding. But what surprised Gyarados was that he received no bacsh from the top dogs of this sea, he thought the ruler of this sea would confront him and he will have to take them out but it looked like, he won''t have the pleasure to squash some pokemon royalties. Gyarados ''These pokemons are smarter than I thought, they knew not to risk their lives for territory'' Gyarados thought and swam around, looking for something to eat. There is plenty of food here, so he won''t go hungry. Chapter 1284: Surrounded Chapter 1284: Surrounded Julian has no idea that him bringing Gyarados here has started a war for supremacy between his Gyarados and the four sea kings of Al. Julian is just enjoying his time in his hotel room with Jenny. Officer Jenny came to visit him and it turned into a very long exercise session between them, which left Jennypletely exhausted. It''s nighttime, and it looks like Jenny will be sleeping in. Julian got off his bed and checked hisputer to get an update on the Cipher team that is about to arrive here on Melemele ind. Julian ''It looks like it will take them three days'' Julian spoke to himself and closed hisptop, and joined Jenny back on the bed, continuing with their rigorous activity. ___________________ The next morning Julian woke up and found Jenny still sleeping. Thest night''s session helped Julian release a lot of stress, which led to Jenny beingpletely exhausted. Julian knew Jenny will need some more sleep so he let her sleep, before getting ready for school. Another day where he had nothing to do other than teach children, but he didn''t mind it. At least he has something to do today. Arriving at the school was the same as always, with children running around and ying with each other along with their pokemon. Julian walked past these children and walked towards his ss. As he entered his ss, he was surprised by what he saw. He saw Lillie holding Snowy in her hands. Julian "Lillie, it looks like you overcame your fear of pokemons, I am very surprised you did it so quickly" Julian said as he didn''t expect Lillie to ovee her fear of pokemons in just one day. Lillie "No, it''s just Lillie, but it''s fine for now. A day wille when I will be able to touch all pokemons" Lillie said with a smile on her face. Lillie then went on and exined how she was able to touch Snowy, and it, of course, involved Team Rocket. Their involvement helped Lillie bring up her courage and interact with Snowy. It finally made sense to Julian. Lillie''s love for Snowy is much greater than her fear of pokemons. But now that she is able to hold Snowy, it won''t be long before she is able to touch all kinds of pokemon. Julian then went on and continued with his ss while his students listened carefully. ____________________ After a long day of work, Julian made his way back to his hotel room to find it empty. Jenny must have woken up and gone to work. He would have liked it if she stayed, but he knows she has very important work to do. She is, after all, a police officer. Julian then looked at the sun setting over the sea and wondered how Gyarados is doing. Julian "I just hope the locals don''t get scared because of him" Julian said to himself. _____________________ It''s about to get dark soon, and a certain pokemon is waiting at the border of Melemele ind waiting for a few other pokemons. His eyes soon caught the glimpse of the first pokemon, Samurott swam towards him at full speed and stopped right in front of him. Kingdra [You are here] Samurott [Where are the others?] He asked. Kingdra [You are the first one to arrive.] Samurott nodded his head and moved to the side and watched the borders along with Kingdra. Soon the next pokemon arrived as well. Golisopod made his way toward the two and greeted them, this was an awkward situation because they are not friends and they know that as soon as they are done with the crises, they will go back to being sworn enemies, so all these greetings and talking with each other was weird for them. The three of them then stood there silently waiting for the fourth member to arrive and Wailord''s arrival was noticed from a mile away, as he is very big. The four of them stared at each other before Wailord spoke up. Wailord [So where is this Gyarados?] Kingdra [He is still hanging around my den] Wailord [Lead the way then] Kingdra nodded and took the lead as the rest followed him. After a few minutes, Kingdra stopped swimming, and the rest did the same as well. Golisopod [Where is it?] Golisopod asked, while looking around. Kingdra [A kilometer away from here is where he is resting. If we go any further like this, he will spot us. It''s best if we split up. Wailord approach from the sound as he won''t be able to see youing from there. The others should have no problem.] Kingdra took the lead as he knows these terrains better than anyone. The four quickly separated and surrounded the area where Gyarados is resting right now, the four slowly approached Gyarados and when they got close enough to see him, the size of Gyarados shocked Golisopod, Samurott, and Wailord. Wailord ''He was not kidding when he said it''s over 15 meters'' Wailord thought Golisopod ''Look at the size of that thing. Should I run away or should I fight?'' Golisopod questioned as he got intimidated by Gyarados'' size. Though he is strong, he is not stupid enough to fight this thing. Golisopod ''But if I don''t fight, this Gyarados wille after my territory. I have to do this.] Samurott ''d we decided to team up. With the four of us, we should be able to overwhelm it and chase it away, maybe even kill it and feed on it'' Samurott thought. Kingdra ''I have a really bad feeling about this but I have to do this. I worked very hard to be a king. I am not going to give up so easily.'' Kingdra thought and red daggers at Gyarados. Chapter 1285: Gyarados Vs Four Kings Chapter 1285: Gyarados Vs Four Kings Gyarados is enjoying his time here in the Al waters and he likes it very much here, the pokemons here are not annoying and he has not been attacked even once since he arrived here. But his peaceful time is about toe to an end as he senses a few pokemons trying to surround him from all sides. Gyarados snaps open his eyes and surveys his surrounding, there are a few small pokemons near him feeding on the coral growing on the sea floor and using Gyarados as protection from their predators. Gyarados thought he would be enjoying his days here in peace and quiet, but his dreams were thoughts proved to be wrong. Gyarados ''*sigh* Let''s get over with this then'' Gyarados thought and lifted his head up and rose up high. His head went as high as 6 meters while the rest of his body rested on the sea floor. He looked at the pokemon that is approaching him head-on, even though he can''t see this pokemon because of the distance between them and them being in the water as light, but Gyarados easily recognized this pokemon. It''s the same Kingdra he spotted yesterday that was ring daggers at him. He thought that this Kingdra was smart and knew not to mess with him, but it looks like he was wrong. Gyarados ''I gave him the benefit of the doubt but who would have thought that he woulde back and bring even more chumps for me to beat up'' Gyarados thought to himself. He could sense his attackers getting closer to him, and soon they appeared in front of him. The only one he couldn''t see is the pokemon who is behind him. This pokemon is still keeping a little distance from him, but Gyarados is not bothered by this at all. The three pokemons in his view are Kingdra, Golisopod on his right, and Samurott to his left. He doesn''t know what pokemon is behind him but he knows it''s a big fellow. His size shocked the three pokemons surrounding Gyarados, but they knew this was their only chance to catch this big fellow off guard. So without wasting a second, the three of them charged up and used their signature move on Gyarados. Kingdra used Dragon Pulse, Golisopod used Ice Beam, and Samurott used Hydro Pump. These three are not messing around as they want to take out Gyarados or at least weaken it as much as they can so they didn''t hold back and used their signature moves at full power. Gyarados looked at the iing attack with a smug look on his face. It did not bother him one bit. But these three attacks are not the only ones. He can also sense another powerful attack heading his way behind his back. A full-power Hyper Beam is heading his way, and it''s tearing through the water that is in front of it. These four attacks continued to make their way towards Gyarados, but he didn''t move. He just stood there and weed it. The four attacks hit Gyarados from all directions, which created a powerful st. All small pokemons are Gyarados, who got knocked out by the shockwave as they didn''t see these attacksing at them at all, and the ones that didn''t get knocked out swam away as fast as they could to avoid getting in trouble. The power of these four moves was immense, and it even affected the people living on Melemele ind as they felt the vibration traveling all over the ind. Some people woke up and looked outside to see a part of the sea rising up as the glow of the st illuminated the surrounding area. People were in awe and terrified by seeing this spectacle. Julian also looked out of his window and saw this, and he could already guess what was happening. The ce it is happening is around where Julian left Gyarados. And with the amount of energy radiating from that ce, he can tell that a battle of very high scale is taking ce. Julian ''It must be a territorial dispute'' Julian thought. He had expected this to happen. Introducing an apex predator like Gyarados into an environment already upied by another apex predator will definitely cause a dispute. __________________ Back in the sea, dust covers the whole area and it being an explosion underwater, the dust is having a hard time settling down due to the density of the water. The four pokemons saw this and got excited. They thought they were able to take out this giant Gyarados, and that too very easily. But they need to confirm it, so they decided to get close. Even if the Gyarados is not knocked out, they were still confident that they did enough damage to gang up on Gyarados. Even Wailord, who was the furthest away from Gyarados, got close to him to check on him. As the four kings approached the massive dust cloud they created, they felt something was wrong. They suddenly felt a chill run down their spine, and they knew they had to make a run for their life, but it was toote. They saw a massive tail glow blue inside the dust cloud and before they could even move; the tail swung at them with extreme speed. Just under a second, the tail made a full circle and smashed the faces of the four kings, sending them shooting through the water. Even Wailord''s massive body couldn''t handle the force behind this attack. The glowing tail also left a trail of light in a circr pattern around the dust cloud, which started to disappear as it got pushed away by the Dragon Tail Gyarados used. As the dust disappeared, the four kings struggled back up and looked at Gyarados to find himpletely unharmed, while they on the other hand got wrecked by just one move Chapter 1286: End Of The Four Kings Chapter 1286: End Of The Four Kings Gyarados stared at the four kings and wondered who he should take out first. After giving it a thought, he stared at Wailord and decided to take it out first. Since Wailord was being a coward and attacked him from behind, Gyarados decided to take it out first. Gyarados opened his mouth wide and started to collect dark energy between his jaw and then used Dark Pulse on Wailord. The Dark Pulse tore through the water like paper and made its way towards Wailord. Even though Wailord saw this attacking but he could do nothing but take it head-on. The Dark Pulsended right on the dome of its head. The attack smashed Wailord''s head into the ground, sinking it into the sandy floor. Wailord got knocked out cold. Seeing this, the other three kings were shocked. They never thought that Wailord would be taken down so easily. They also realized that they have overestimated this little team-up of theirs. It was bound to fail from the very beginning because this Gyarados is a monster. Samurott [We need to attack together or we will get destroyed.] Kingdra [Yes, let''s do that. Golisopod attack with all your power.] Kingdra said and turned to look at Golisopod to see it missing. Kingdra panicked and started to look around but couldn''t find Golisopod anywhere. Kingdra and Samurott didn''t see it, but the moment Gyarados attacked Wailord, Golisopod ran away, realizing that he would be wasting his time here. He didn''t want to waste his energy. The possibility of getting seriously injured was also very high, so why would he even stay there? So Golisopod made the best decision. To run away. With Golisopod nowhere to be found, the two kings realized that their chance of winning has gone from zero to negative numbers. Their only option right now is to escape. They cursed themselves for not being as smart as Golisopod and making a run for their life, but it was toote to regret it. One thing they have learned from all the battles they have been through throughout their life is that they should never turn their back on their enemies, but this time, it is totally different. If they stand up and face Gyarados, they are going to get destroyed. And if they try to turn their back and run, they are going to get destroyed. There is no right and wrong choice here for them to make. Both kings looked at each other and knew what to do. Without speaking to each other, they knew what the other party was thinking. If both of them ran away in different directions, the Gyarados can only target one of them and it could be either one of them. Their survival depended on their luck. The lucky one will escape while the other will get demolished by Gyarados. They looked into each other''s eyes and started to nod their head to the count of three. One, two, and three. With the third nod of their head, they both bolted in the opposite direction and it looks like their n worked. Gyarados turned his head and looked in both directions and decided to choose one. His eyes locked into Samurott and used Dark Pulse. The Dark Pulse tore through the water and hit Samurott. Before the move evennded, Samurott felt iting, and it cursed its bad luck. It was a fifty-fifty chance that Samurott would be chosen and it was relying on this one thing. It knew it could be the one or it might not. ''Well, whatever.'' Samurott thought and felt a crushing power hitting his back, but he epted it willingly and got sent shooting through the water while getting knocked out. __________________ About a few hundred meters away from Samurott''s fallen body is Kingdra swimming as fast as it can, seeing that it has not been attacked till now. It gets excited. Kingdra [Yes! I managed to escape. The Gyarados chose Samurott, giving me enough time to escape.] Kingdra said to itself excitedly as it made a swim for its life, but little does it know Gyarados doesn''t show mercy. After dealing with Samurott, Gyarados brought his focus back on Kingdra. Gyarados remembers this annoying bug from yesterday, Gyarados let it go even though it showed hostility at him as it didn''t bother to approach him. But now it has all changed, this bug decided to team up and disturb Gyarados'' peace and that needs to be punished. Gyarados looked in the direction where Kingdra fled and started to charge up a powerful attack. Though Gyarados couldn''t sense Kingdra, he can sense it. Gyarados is a pokemon that has broken his limit and has leveled up over 100. He can sense pokemons kilometers away from him. He charged up a Dragon Pulse and the energy radiating from him started to heat up the surrounding water, which soon started to boil. Because of this, the bubbles started to travel to the surface, but Gyarados is still not done charging up the Dragon Pulse. Once Gyarados was done, he shot it towards the fleeing Kingdra. The Dragon Pulsepletely evaporated the water it came in contact with and continued forward at extreme speed. It traveled 100s of meters within seconds. Kingdra, who is very excited to have escaped from a very dangerous situation, doesn''t have any idea that a move is going to put an end to its delusion. Before Kingdra could even realize what it happening, it felt a dangerous chill run down its spine. As it turned its back to see what was happening, it was already toote. The Dragon Pulse hit it right on its face and sent it tearing through the water, knocking it out cold. The damage taken from this attack will make sure that this Kingdra will never reach its peak again. Gyarados sensed that it was done with all three intruders. As for the one that escaped, Gyarados didn''t bother to check on it as he knows. It won''t dare to show its face here ever again. Chapter 1287: Attack On Submarine Chapter 1287: Attack On Submarine The people of Al calmed down, seeing that nothing followed after that big explosion in the sea other than some big waves, and they were not worried about these waves as they are used to them. Julian looked at the calm sea and knew that Gyarados must have dealt with the pokemons that were the leaders of the region. Julian then went back to sleep, as he knows he has nothing to worry about. ____________________ The next few days went by with nothing happening. Julian kept constant updates on Cipher and they should be here any moment for Gyarados to intercept. Gyarados is spending his life in these new waters very peacefully. The water here is nice and has the perfect temperature. He wondered when these people who Julian informed him about will arrive. But today he doesn''t have to wait any longer. As he is resting his massive body on the soft gravel on the ocean floor, he felt a massive object approaching Al. Gyarados knew that this is the thing he needs to take care of as this massive thing is not a living thing and he could also sense tiny life forms in it. He swims toward the massive submarine that is approaching the inds. _____________________ Inside the massive submarine, which ispletely invisible from the outside, people in uniform are moving around in an organized pattern. Each one of them seems to be busy and doing their own assigned task without interfering with the other one. All of them seem so organized. Right inside the front end of the submarine, many people with uniforms sat in front of their monitors and they monitor everything that is happening on these screens. "Sir, there seems to be a huge creature heading our way at high speed," one of them spoke as they see something big approaching the submarine at high speed. "What is it?" A man who is wearing a heavy-looking uniform and sitting on a high tform asked. "We don''t know sir, but it looks like a pokemon. Around 15 meters long," they answered back. The man sitting above the others frowned. Beforeing here, he did a lot of research on the wildlife here in the aln waters, so they won''t experience any difficulty like this. The only pokemon he can think of that is 15 meters long in these waters is a Wailord, but Wailord is not an aggressive pokemon, at least to humans. They are also known to be very still swimmers to save energy, so you won''t find a Wailord moving around under the sea. He wondered what it could be. Now he just hopes that this pokemon doesn''t see their submarine as it is invisible to the naked eye from the outside. A minute in and the people inside the submarine are a little tense as this pokemon doesn''t show any sign of slowing down, it is heading towards them. "Sir, what do we do? At this rate, it is going to crash into us," the monitor operator said. The man sitting high up on the tform looked at the huge screen for a few seconds and took a decision. "Let it continue. If it does, it will hurt itself. We will just experience a minor tremor. If we try to put it down, it might alert the officials in Al. It''s best to stay hidden, as the organization is still in the early phase of the n." The man said, and kept his eyes fixed on the massive screen in front of him. A few secondster, the tense atmosphere calmed down as the pokemon that was approaching them has stopped moving a few hundred meters away from the submarine. "Sir, the pokemon has stopped 300 meters, right in front of our vessel," the operator said. "What is it doing?" The boss asked. "Nothing sir, it''s just there." "Hmmm". The boss hummed and frowned. He felt something was not right. His guts were telling him to turn the submarine and run away. He is an experienced veteran, and he knows to trust his guts, but if he does that, he also knows that he will be disposed of. He has no other option but to continue with Al as the assignment handed to him will elerate the organization''s n, and he cannot fuck this up. _____________________ Gyarados stopped right 300 meters away from the submarine. Though he couldn''t see the damn thing, he could sense it. He figures that the submarine is hiding in in sight, but it didn''t matter because such a massive thing won''t go unnoticed by his senses. Now he needs to do what Julian brought him here to do. He opened his mouth and started to charge up a Hyper Beam. ______________________ Inside the submarine, the staff that had calmed down suddenly started to panic again as they see a powerful energy fluctuation right in front of them. "SIR, trouble ahead, a massive energy fluctuation is forming right where the pokemon is. The energy is increasing by the second." The operator informed. The boss''s expression turned from a frown to panic, as he wasn''t expecting an attack from a random pokemon. "Quick, activate the defensive force field!" He ordered. The operator didn''t think for a second before following the order. Suddenly a blue-colored energy field surrounded the submarine, but it looked like a giant ball of blue shield appeared out of nowhere. Though they turned on their defensive shield, the panic inside the submarine hasn''t calmed down. "Sir, this is not good, the energy fluctuation keeps on rising. If this continues, the shield won''t be able to deflect it." The operator said with a worried tone. The boss needs to make a decision quickly and the decision he made. "Quick, start evacuating." He ordered and got off his seat and power walked out of the control room followed by twockeys that were standing behind him. Following his order, the other operators started to ry the message for evacuation to other members of the submarine. With 50 active members, along with the 10 operatives, started to evacuate. They rushed towards the escape pod but before they could even reach it; they felt a jolt, then an intense tremor that shook them to the core. The very next second, they saw a bright beam pass right through them. Some of them got lucky as they were running close to the wall but the others weren''t so lucky, the beam hit them and god only knows what happened to them. The energy beam was so massive and powerful that it blew a hole half the size of the submarine from its head to tail. Chapter 1288: Stepping Foot On The Wrong Place Chapter 1288: Stepping Foot On The Wrong ce The Cipher members that were lucky enough to enter into an escape pod andunch themselves out of the submarine saw everything from outside. They saw a bright beam of energy, half the thickness of the submarine, hit the submarine right on its nose after easily tearing through the defensive force field. Though the submarine is invisible to the naked eye, when the energy beam tore through the defensive force field and made contact with the submarine, it forced the submarine to appear in front of their eyes. It all happened in a sh. The beam of energy came, tore through the whole submarine, and disappeared into nothingness. And the very next second, the whole submarine exploded with a bang, pushing some of the escape pods closer to it, far away. More than half of their members have disappeared from the face of this with no remains left to even find. Seeing this scared the shit out of them, especially the boss, who is far away from the chaos. He sits in his escape pod with his twockeys, looking at the carnage that just took ce. He couldn''t believe what he just saw. "What the fuck just happened?" He asked himself aloud. "We don''t know, sir, but I think we should get out of here. Whatever''s out there is a monster that we have nevere across. It''s best to run before it decides toe here." One of theckeys advised. Hearing him, the boss nodded his head and ordered them to head to Melemele ind. "Head to Melemele ind, inform the other to follow close by". The boss ordered. One of theckeys nodded his head and talked with the other escapees on the radio. The escape pods slowly made their way to Melemele ind and on their way there, they saw what had destroyed their submarine. First, when they saw it, it scared the shit out of them, as it was right there. Then came disbelief and astonishment as they witnessed the size of the Gyarados. They were also feeling relieved because the Gyarados is resting on the ocean floor. "It''s sleeping, move slowly, and don''t make a noise." The boss ordered, and the other did as he ordered. They didn''t want to wake this monster up, and in the right mind, no one would. "What the hell did that thing eat to be so big and strong?" The boss questioned. "No idea" "If that thing is under our organization, we will be unstoppable. I will have to inform the headquarters about this Gyarados'' existence." He said with loyalty and hunger for power in his eyes. Loyalty for the organization and the hunger for power inside it. Just one more step and he will be closer to power than ever and this Gyarados might just be the ticket to power for him in the Cipher organization. "This must be one of those totem pokemons." He murmured and came to his own conclusion but witnessed the size of Gyarados, and he wouldn''t be the only one toe to such a conclusion because of Gyarados''s size and power. __________________ The escape pods soon made their way to Melemele ind and the surviving members docked close to a rocky cliff where there won''t be any people to witness them. Out of the 63 members that were present in the submarine, only 20 are left, the rest of them have disappeared. 20 men stepped out of their pods and set their foot on the rocky edge of Melemele ind. What they didn''t notice was a young man standing on top of a tall cliff, looking at them. Julian watched the 20 men with a smirk on his face. He is pleased that Gyarados has done his job. Out of how many, only 20 are left, but Julian needs only one. He scans the group and his sight soon falls on one man, who is wearing a uniformpletely different from the others. His uniform is thick and looks heavy, it is also heavily armored and the essories on it seem much more expensive. Julian "He should be the one in charge, huh?" Julian said to himself. Julian ''Now is not the best time to ambush them. Even though this ce is deserted, people can stille here. I should lure them somewhere. I won''t be disturbed.'' Julian thought and walked away. He knows they will contact "him" when they are ready and when they do, he will find out more about Cipher and what more there is to know about their mission. _____________________ Julian returned to his hotel room and wondered when they will contact him. Maybe it will take them a day or two so Julian can''t be busy with anything. So because of this, he decided to take leave from school until he deals with team Cipher. Julian put his thoughts aside and turned around to see the door of his hotel room open. In walked Jenny wearing her uniform. Jenny has been a great source of relief for him during his stay here in Al but she alone won''t do it. Julian hopes he finds someone to add to his collection here in Al. Chapter 1289: Ambush Chapter 1289: Ambush Spending his night with Jenny helped Julian spend his whole night in pleasure. All that sleeping around with Jenny has strengthened her a lot and she can now go a lot longer in bed with him. Julian wants something new to taste and Al is filled with exquisite vors, but first Julian needs to deal with some troublemakers. It''ste in the morning and Julian woke up after a very long rest with all that smashing he didst night. He saw Jenny sleeping naked right beside him and he expects her to be sleeping here for a few more hours because she can get up and get back to work. He gets off the bed and picks up the console he picked up from the cipher members he trashed to get an update on the other cipher members that just entered Melemele ind. As he turned on the console, a message was waiting for him. The message is from the leader of Cipher who entered Melemele ind. Julian smiles seeing this. He then sent a message back to the sender with the location of the ce he wants them to be at when he gets there. He sees that the message has been read, so he puts away the console and gets ready. He looks at Jenny and sees that she is still very deep asleep. Not deciding to bother her, he leaves his hotel room and heads to the location he set his trap. Julian on Charizard''s back sores through the Melemele sky and heads deep into the dense forest that covers most of Melemele ind. The location where Julian sends those troublemakers is just a very open and empty field right in the middle of the dense forest where no one will disturb Julian as he deals with these cipher troublemakers. Though Julian is making his way toward the location where he set his ambush at, he is always on the lookout for a hidden Totem den. Totem pokemons are very rare, but most of the inds have not been discovered either. Julian got lucky and found Totem Butterfree, so the chances of him finding other pokemon are very high as well. Julian arrives at the ambush spot and he realizes that he has arrived a little early, but it doesn''t bother him. He sends Charizard back to his pokemon and gets on top of a tree and begins his wait. His wait didn''tst long, only an hour, and Julian has yed the waiting game for much longer. He sees the leader, followed by the other 19 Cipher members. Today, all these people will disappear from the face of this as well. "Boss, this is the location, but there is nothing around here" One of the grunts spoke while checking a console simr to the one Julian has. The boss frowns and looks around, but even he can''t find anything around but an empty grass field. "Are you sure this is the ce?" The boss asks. "I am sure, boss. These coordinates are exactly pointing to where we are standing" The grunt speaks. "Did they give us the wrong coordinates?" The boss asks. "Wait for a second, boss. I will confirm" The grunt speaks and starts fiddling with the console in his hand. On a tall branch of the tree right next to where the Cipher members are standing, Julian receives a message on the console. He reads the message, and it''s from the guys down below. They are checking if the coordinates he sent them are urate or not. Julian decides to reply them back. He smiles and starts typing. Julian [The location is urate] Julian replies. [Where? We can''t see the base.] The grunt replies back. Julian [You are in the right location. I can see you.] Julian replies. [Once again, where? There is nothing around us except trees and in grassnd] The grunt replies. Julian [I am right there. Look under your feet.] Julian replies The grunt gets confused and looks down, but doesn''t see anything. "What''s wrong? What is taking you so long?" The boss asks. "Boss, they are telling us, we are on the right spot. He is also telling us to look down" The grunt says. "Look down? What''s beneath us?" The boss looks down and so does everyone else along with him and they all finally see it. They see two crimson eyes in their shadows, staring right into their souls. "SHIT, IT''S A TRAP, RUN" The boss yells and tries to run, but ck tentacles shoot out of the shadow andtch onto his ankles. The same thing happens to others as well. Some of them tumble and fall face first on the ground and break their noses while some of them twist their arms bynding sideways. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? IT''S DRAGGING ME INTO THE GROUND" The boss shouts in dread as he feels the shadow tentacle tighten its grip around his ankle and pull him to the ground. He is not the only one who is shouting hysterically as the other 19 grunts are also losing their mind. Imagine a dark tentacle suddenlying out of the ground and snatching you into the ground. Anyone would be terrified. "We should have nevere here, I want to go homeeee" One grunt started to cry. "Mommy, where are you? I don''t want to work with these people anymore. I should have listened to you, mommy please save meeeeeee" All these grunts started to sob and call for their loved ones as they felt their lifeing to an end. Chapter 1290: Helpful Memories Chapter 1290: Helpful Memories Julian watched all this from above and, seeing all of them losing their mind, he decided to make an entrance. He just jumped off the tree branch he was sitting on andnded right on his feet. It was a 12-meter-long jump, but Julian''s foot didn''t even bend as hended. Julian''s arrival was noticed by everyone, but none of them put two and two together. They just saw a human and felt hope. "Help up, please. We are being dragged into the ground!" The boss yelled out for Julian''s help. He felt as if Arceus had answered his prayers and now he can be saved, but his hope soon started to fade away as he realized that this man was not making a move at all. And he was also smart enough to realize that this person is the one who is behind this trap. "It''s you!" He shouted. Julian "Gengar, get rid of the others. Leave this one behind." Julian instructed. Gengar then slowly dragged the other 19 cipher grunts into the shadow realm and he made it slow. Gengar enjoyed each and every second of it. The thought of slowly being dragged into the unknown is terrifying and it was very evident when most of them peed their pants as they were dragged into the shadow realm by Gengar. The boss who watched this was equally terrified. Getting dragged into the unknown is one thing, but witnessing it happening to others and knowing the same this is about to happen to you as well, is even more terrifying. The boss is terrified and doesn''t know what to do. The shadow tentacle has stopped pulling him into the unknown darkness, but it is stilltched onto his ankle. "What do you want?" The boss asks, trying to still put on an act of braveness, but his rapid heartbeat and his white face betray his actions. Julian "It''s very simple, actually. Tell me everything you know about your organization and I will let you go." Julian says. "In your dreams, I will never betray the organization" He answers with a bark. Julian "*sigh* Why can''t you just read the surrounding? You are fucked, you have no chance of escaping. I orchestrated all this to get my hands on you to learn what you guys are really doing. Do you think I am going to just let you off after going through all this trouble? I will force it out of you" Julian says and looks at the boss''s shadow. Julian "Gengar, extract his memories" Julian orders. "What? What do you mean by extracting memory?" The boss shouts while struggling to get out of the shadowy tentacle''s grasp, but it''s useless. The grip is like a vice. It won''t let go. He reaches out for his leg and tries to pry open the tentacle with his hand, but he suddenly stops as he feels something is standing right behind him. The coldness touching his neck and slowly traveling down his body makes his heart beat faster than ever. He can hear his heart out of his chest. He feels every beat hitting the inside of his chest like a battering ram. Though terrified, he can''t help but turn his head and see what''s behind him. He slowly turns his head and sees the terrifying being that is grinning at him. He sees its massive wide grin, its crimson glowing eyes, its demonic expression, all adding together to create the monster of his nightmare. As his eyes meet Gengar''s, Gengar lunges forward, terrifying the man and almost killing him with a heart attack. But before he dies, Gengar''s fingers plunge into his skull and Gengar starts extracting all his memories. After Gengar is done, he drags the boss''s lifeless-looking body into the shadow realm. Only god knows what will happen to him. Julian watched as Gengar was done with the boss. Gengar then transferred all he got from the boss to Julian. Now, having everything in his mind, Julian knows a little more about Cipher. This boss was a very high-ranking member of the organization and was about to get a promotion that would have made him one of the elites, but now he has fallen and the organization will never know about him and where he is right now. The organization has nine admins who are controlled by some hidden entities behind the scene and even someone who is this high in the organization didn''t know about them. Cipher was a lot more secretive than he expected. But he at least got the name of some admins. Lovrina is one of the two women admins in the organization. The name of the other woman is unknown. The other admin name he got is Snattle, a male. Thest name that he got is Gorigan, a male, and he seems to have some kind of deformity that made him look like an ape. Now he knows about three admins and how they look. The rest is unknown, but if Julian gets his hand on at least one of them, the game is over. Putting the matters of the admins aside, Julian brought his attention back here in Al. He found that there are more cipher members who have infiltrated Al and they are all over the ce. There should be none on Melemele ind because Julian took care of them or they are too good at hiding. Julian realized that he has been spending all his time here on Melemele ind. He needs to visit the other inds and see the situation there. Now that his mind was made up. Julian decided to visit Ak ind and see what was happening there. Chapter 1291: Akala Island Chapter 1291: Ak Ind So much information to digest, and Julian can''t do it here in the middle of the jungle, so he decided to head back, sit on hisfortable, luxurious hotel couch and give it some thought. He called out Charizard from his Pokeball and rode it back to the town. He got back to his hotel room and found it empty. Jenny must have woken up and returned to her work. Julian turned on the air conditioner and sat down on thefortable couch. Julian "Cipher seems to be much more organized and secretive than I thought. From the information I obtained, only the scientist working behind the scene know what''s really going on inside Cipher, as they are the ones who turn normal pokemons into shadow pokemons. The three admins that I have got to know are not that deeply involved with the creation of shadow pokemons. They are the guns of the organization and handle most of the physical work, but there are more important admins in the organization that have remained hidden" Julian spoke out loud as he put all the information in order. Julian "There is no reason to dwell on this when I can''t do anything about them right now. Let''s deal with whatever is in front of me. Melemele ind is not the only ind I need to keep my eye on. The other inds are also massive and filled with unique pokemons, especially Totem pokemons. There are more discovered totem pokemons on other inds than in Melemele, meaning there might be more hidden ones that can be found. I also need to build up my arsenal and collect more z-crystals as well. With everything I have experienced till now, I know something bad will happen, no matter where I go and what I do. I thought this world will be peaceful, but I never expected it to be so chaotic. What did I expect from a world filled with animals that can control nature''s elements" Julian spoke out and sighed. He could have never fathomed his life would be so different from what he thought it would be. Julian "To Ak then, but first, I need to inform principal Samson" Julian spoke aloud and sent Samson and message through his phone. He also informed Jenny that he won''t be in Melemele for a few days. After settling everything that needs to be settled, Julian walked out of the hotel, got on top of his Charizard, and flew towards Ak ind. As he left Melemele ind and flew over the water, Gyarados lifted his head out of the water to see Julian and started to follow him to Ak as well. Ak is very different from Melemele ind. The temperature here is higher because the ind is an active volcano. The molten magma that sits dormant underground is very active and there is always vocational leakage of it from the top. But the people of Ak have grown customs with it, and they have several defenses against a volcanic eruption With the higher temperature of the ind, the people who have lived on this ind have much darker skin than the ones who live on the other inds. So one can easily identify if someone is from Ak ind, the skin tone range from brown to ck. You can find these skin tones on other inds as well, but their ancestors originated from Ak. And with how the inds are right next to each other, it never stopped these people from traveling to the other inds. Julian is eager to see what Ak ind is like and how are its people. Charizard crosses the massive water body between Melemele and Ak ind and finally arrives over Ak, he then descends slowly down onto Ak. Charizardnds on an unupied beach, so no one witnessed Julian''s arrival here in Ak. Julian turned around to look at the sea and saw his Gyarados''s taile out of the water and ssh against the surface. Julian then looks at the town in front of him and decides to check it out. The town here in Ak is very simr to the one on Melemele ind, but the people seem more energetic and the products that they sell here are very different as well. The fruits are of different shapes and colors. Some fruits of the same species lookpletely different as well. Julian took his time to look around the town and see what else Ak has that Melemele didn''t and he found many, especially food. The food sold here in Ak is much sweeter, the people here seem to have a sweet tooth, but the best thing that Julian found was dairy items. He learned that the cattle here in Ak are very healthy and they produce high-quality milk in great volume. After tasting some samples, Julian couldn''t help but buy a lot of dairy products for himself. He decided to use them to make food for himself and his pokemons. Julian spent a lot of his time walking around the town and talking with people. He would talk with the locals and try to insert subtle references to cipher members without speaking about them. If these local people had noticed cipher members or anyone suspicious, Julian just needs a trigger word for them to speak out, as humans are not very good at keeping information to themselves. Humans are social animals and they will share something whenever they get the chance to do so. But Julian''s luck was running low as the locals didn''t seem to have noticed anything suspicious at all. Chapter 1292: Jenny Of Akala Chapter 1292: Jenny Of Ak Julian''s search for anything suspicious came to an end, as the locals of this town didn''t find anything out of the norm. Knowing that he won''t receive any further help from the locals, he decided to visit the authorities of Ak ind, maybe they have been informed about cipher and what threat they can bring to Al. He made his way to the police station and found it upied by a few police officers. He entered the station and looked around. A police officer noticed him and approached him. Officer "Can I help you?" He asked politely. Julian "Yes, I needed to talk to the inspector in charge. I have something to discuss with them" Julian answered. Officer "Inspector Jenny is in her office. I will inform her about your arrival. Can I have your name?" Julian "It''s Julian" The officer nodded and walked away from Julian and entered another office through a wooden door. __________________ Inside the inspector office, Officer Jenny is sitting on herfortable chair, but the expression on her face doesn''t show anyfort at all. Instead, she seems frustrated while she res at theputer screen in front of her. She heard a knock on her door, making her look up. Jenny "Come in" She orders. The police officer that was just talking to Julian enters and salutes at her. Officer "You have a visitor, he said he has some things to discuss with you" He says. Jenny "Who is it?" She asks. Officer "Someone named Julian" He answers. As soon as Jenny heard the name Julian, she stands up from her chair in surprise. Jenny "Quick, send him in" Jenny orders. The officer finds Jenny''s action weird but doesn''t show it on his face and just nods. He then walks out of her office.. Jenny sits back in her chair and takes out a pocket mirror from her desk''s drawer and fixes her hair and checks if her makeup is still present or not. Finding nothing wrong with her face, she puts away her mirror and fixes her posture. She looks at her uniform and then unbuttons her top shirt button, revealing her cleavage. Jenny then hears another knock on her door. She quicklyposes herself and looks at the door. Jenny "Come in" She says. The door opens and Julian walks in. She looks at Julian and can''t help but admire his handsome face, but she is an experienced woman and she knows how to hide her emotions. She stands up and points Julian at the empty seat in front of her desk. Julian walks towards the seat and sits down. Jenny follows him and sits down as well. Jenny "So how can I help you, Mr. Julian?" She asks. Julian "I wanted to ask if you have been informed about the intruders on Al ind?" Julian gets straight to the point. Jenny stays silent for a few seconds and nods her head. Her casual expression soon disappears as the matter of their conversation has turned serious and to her, her workes before anything else. Jenny "Yes, I was informed about them by the Kahuna of Ak ind and also my sister back in Melemele Ind." She says. Julian "I see. So, did you guys have any encounter with them?" Julian asks. Jenny "Yes we have encountered them. After I received the information about them, I increased the patrol in the city. I also informed the pokemon rangers to keep vignt. Just a few days ago, a few strangers wearing white uniforms were encountered chasing some pokemon when they came across the pokemon rangers. A fight broke out and the pokemon rangers were defeated. After that, they disappeared, leaving no clue behind. We are still in search of them, but it is of no use. They are hiding deep inside the forest. And you should know, finding someone inside a forest is almost impossible, especially if they know how to hide their tracks" Jenny exined. Julian took everything and found something weird. Julian "What were they chasing?" Julian asked. If these people are after totem pokemons, they don''t need to chase them because a totem pokemon will rather die than abandon its post, as, for any other pokemon, they will have no interest in it. He wondered what could have made ciphere out of their hideout and chase it. Jenny "We have no idea. The park rangers who confronted the group only saw a shadow sh by. They couldn''t tell what it was" Jenny answered. Julian ''A shadow? Interesting. I wonder what it is. Maybe I can get to it before they can'' Julian thought. Julian "Where did this altercation take ce?" Julian asked. Jenny "I can send you the co-ordinates" She said. Julian nodded and sent her his contact information and bid farewell. He was done here. The only lead he got is about the confrontation between cipher members and pokemon rangers. He decided to see where this altercation took ce and see if he can find anything to track them down. Chapter 1293: Search For Pokemon, Again. Chapter 1293: Search For Pokemon, Again. Julian left Jenny alone in her office. Once he walked out, Jenny took a deep breath and rxed her posture. Jenny ''Little Sis was not lying. He really is handsome and if everything she said is true, he is going to rock my world in bed. I can''t believe she is lecturing me about sex now.'' Jenny thought as she remembered the conversations she has had with her little sister. Officer Jenny, from Melemele ind. Jenny from Melemele ind couldn''t stop talking about how good sex has been these past few days for him and it''s pissing off some officer Jennys. Jenny ''Who knows, I might get lucky as well. Work is so frustrating. If I am able to blow this stress off with some hot sex, I will do it every day.'' She thought and pressed her legs together. ___________________ Julian walked out of Jenny''s office and then out of the police station. His mind now consists of two things: the first and the more important one. The location of the altercation between cipher members and pokemon rangers. And the other thing he has in his mind, which is not so important, is Jenny, the one he just met. He could easily tell that Jenny wanted to ride his dick, and she was doing a great job at hiding it, but Julian has a very good eye for women who have a thing for him. Julian ''Maybe I will stay here for a few more days after I am done with cipher here.'' Julian thought. He then took out his phone and checked the coordinates Jenny had sent him. He called out Charizard, climbed up on top of him, and flew towards the location. It didn''t take Charizard long to get there as he flew at full speed. Charizard descends andnded in the middle of the forest. Julian got off Charizard''s back and started to look around. He saw burnt grass and broken trees which indicated that a massive pokemon battle took ce here and from the size of the damage, he can tell that the pokemon trainers had decent strength to pull off such destruction. He could also tell one party outnumbered the other, and Julian''s guess is it is Cipher. They were able to outnumber the rangers and defeat them. Julian started to look around for clues and see if he can find any trace left behind by cipher, but as Jenny said to him, there was nothing. Cipher members seem to know how to hide their tracks. Julian spent hours checking for even the smallest thing, but it was useless. He realized that he was wasting his time looking for someone who didn''t want to be found in a dense, massive forest. Since he cannot find cipher members, maybe he can do something else that is equally important to him and that is finding some new pokemons for his team. Till now he has only caught two pokemons, Wimpod and Grubbin. The training for Wimpod and Grubbin has been going great and they are showing great improvements in strength and understanding of the battle, but Julian wants more pokemons in his arsenal. Julian sent Charizard back to his Pokeball and started walking. The best way to find a pokemon in a forest is by foot. Taking the air would just obstruct Julian''s vision because of the thick leaves covering the ground. As Julian continues to walk on the forest floor, he encounters many pokemons, but not the ones he wants. Though Julian is looking for pokemons, he is also searching for something else, a totem den. If he can find a totem den, he will be able to get himself another z-crystal. Right now he has three, Normalium Z, Bugium Z, and Electrium Z. And Julian is not relying on his luck to find these totem dens. He is using his special ability, omniforce. After entering two totem dens, he realized that both of them have the same energy signature even though they had different types of z-crystals in them, so if he can locate a simr energy signature. He will be able to locate a totem den. But to locate one, he will need to be at least a few kilometers away from the den, the energy that these totem dens possess are massive so their output is huge as well butpared to the size of the inds that they reside on, it''s like finding a needle in a haystack. Julian could, of course, take the sky to locate these energy signatures, but he will miss the chance of encountering pokemons that could be the perfect fit for his team. As Julian continues his search for a pokemon, he feels a pair of eyes on his and these are not normal. He is used to pokemons staring at him from their hideout, but this thing is very different from other pokemons. He finds them simr to a certain pokemon on Melemele ind. Julian turns his head and looks at the tree top from where he sensed iting, but he found nothing. Julian just smiles and continues walking. He knows that the pokemon is still there and is following him but he doesn''t mind its existence. He is certain that this pokemon is none other than Tapu Lele, the guardian pokemon of Ak ind. Chapter 1294: Not Crystals Friend Chapter 1294: Not Crystal''s Friend Julian continues his search for a pokemon he can add to his team, while Tapu Lele continues to follow him from a distance. It has shown no sign of cautiousness for Julian and it is as carefree as it ever could be. Tapu Lele is known for being very cruel and showing no guilt or remorse while doing so, but it has also been seeing healing people and pokemons with its magical dust. And this is the reason why the people of Al fear and worship Tapu Lele. Julian continued his search, but he soon came to the conclusion that he needs to stop for today. His luck is not good today. Julian marked the areas of the forest he had been in today in his mind and flew back to the town on Charizard''s back. To his surprise, Tapu Lele continued to follow him, but it maintained its distance from him and Charizard. He wondered how well Tapu Lele with fare up against his Charizard. He roughly can tell that Tapu Lele is way stronger than a champion-level pokemon and the same goes for Tapu Koko as well. As for Charizard, he has also gone past champion-level pokemon, but he doesn''t know if Charizard alone can take on any of the Tapu. But with Julian by his side, victory is possible. Julian entered the town again and this time there were more people walking around since it was evening. People areing back from their work and heading home and some of them are out shopping for products they need for their homes. Julian found himself a nice hotel to stay at. Unlike Melemele ind, the hotels here are not as luxurious because Ak ind is not as tourist-focused as Melemele ind. But Julian is still satisfied with the room he got as he paid for the most expensive one. He got a nice big room with a balcony and a sea view from where he could watch the sunset. And he is doing it right now, sitting on azy chair with a drink in his hand while his pokemons are running around on the balcony ying with each other. The orange light from the sun has turned the skypletely orange, and it didn''t spare the sea as well. The setting sun reflected on the ocean''s surface distorted but it created a beautiful scenery. His drinking ss also reflected this orange light, which enhanced his experience. Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him makes him almost forget that there is a lot of shit going on out there right now. Cipher members have made Al their temporary home and they are slowlybing down the whole ind to search for totem pokemons. Julian knows he has to stop them before they get any braver and start causing trouble right in front of the public eye. He knows how dangerous it can get. Julian ''Maybe I should bring in my people here to obstruct Cipher.'' Julian thought and took a sip from his ss. He then picked up his phone and called Kanto, not to professor Oak but to Omni-guardian headquarters. Julian realized that he cannot be on all four inds at the same time and he needs his own people to keep their eyes nted on these inds. By having his own people on every ind, he will be able to easily stop Cipher before they can even spread. Julian talked on the phone with some familiar and told her to bring a massive task force to Al and spread out between the four inds. The woman on the other side of the phone was very excited to hear from Julian and when she heard Julian ordering her toe to Al, she almost fainted with excitement. Julian ended the call and put his phone away. They should be here in two to three days. Until then, Julian will have to take care of everything on his own. Once Omni-guardians get here, he will be able to rx a little. As he is enjoying the evening, he feels Tapu Lele''s gaze again, but it made a very big mistake. It is now in presence of Crystal and Crystal feels its presence as well. Crystal turns its head and looks at the tree top close to them and feels a familiar aura. It suddenly gets excited thinking that its friend from Melemele ind Tapu Koko is here to y with it so it bolts towards the tree top. The sudden arrival of the strange-looking pokemon surprises Tapu Lele, who is sitting behind the tree top. Crystal arrives right in front of Tapu Lele and stares at it with confusion. It thought that it was its friend Tapu Koko, but this pokemon ispletely different. Even though its aura is simr to Tapu Koko, it''s not Tapu Koko. Tapu Lele also looks at Crystal with confusion. It feels very connected to Crystal, but it doesn''t know what Crystal is. But things turn worse as Crystal gets a little closer to touch Tapu Lele and Tapu Leleshed out. Chapter 1295: Wela Volcano Chapter 1295: W Volcano Tapu Lele didn''t like Crystal''s sudden approach and it getting so close to it, even though Crystal feels familiar. Tapu Lele is still a ruthless pokemon that doesn''t hold back. Tapu Lele didn''t want Crystal near it, so itshed out with a powerful attack. It didn''t care if Crystal felt familiar or not, such actions has consequences in Tapu Lele''s eyes. It used Psyshock and sted it right on Crystal''s face. There is no holding back. Tapu Lele intends to hurt Crystal badly, and it didn''t even think about it. It always goes all out and gives its opponent no chance to counter. A huge explosion erupted, grabbing Julian''s attention, who was sipping his drink. He looked at the explosion in surprise. He didn''t expect Tapu Lele to attack right off the bat, as he knows Crystal will never attack first. Now he just hopes Crystal is in a yful mood so that it doesn''t hurt Tapu Lele. Tapu Lele looked at the smoke in front of it and thought that it has sessfully dealt with the problem, but as the smoke slowly disappeared, Crystal was still right in front of it giggling with its tiny hands in front of its mouth Tapu Lele was surprised to see Crystalpletely unharmed. Crystal was confused at first, but then it thought that Tapu Lele wants to y because the attack from Tapu Lele only tickled Crystal. So it decided to y back and used the exact amount of force Tapu Lele used to attack it. Crystal also used Psyshock and sted it at Tapu Lele. Tapu Lele sensed the attacking before Crystal even used it as it sensed the sudden spike of psychic energy around them. It quickly submerged its body into its hard shell andpletely blocked off the attack. Unlike Tapu Koko, its shell isn''t attached to its hands but to its lower body shaped like a vase, and there is a cap on top of its head thatpletes the shell in the shape of an egg. Crystal sted the Psyshock on the pink patterned shell and sent it shooting through the air. The pink egg-shaped shell crashed into a tree andpletely uprooted it. Once Tapu Lele''s body stopped moving, it popped its head back up to look at Crystal, but this time, there was caution in its eyes. It knows that it is no match for this strange pokemon. If not for its resistance against psychic-type moves and its super hard shell, it might have been seriously injured by Crystal. Knowing what is best to do right now, it made a run for its life. It''s not going to stay here and take any more attacks from the little monster that is in front of it. And with a blur, Tapu Lele disappeared from Crystal''s sight. Crystal turned its head and looked in the direction where Tapu Lele escaped and thought of chasing after it but Julian interrupted its thought. Julian "Crystal, get back here" Julian yelled. He knew that Crystal would have chased down Tapu Lele till it gets exhausted and stop and Julian was in no mood to chase after Crystal. Crystal came back disappointed that Julian didn''t allow it to y with its new friend, but within a few seconds, itpletely forgot about it and started running around with Wimpod and Grubbin. Julian smiled as he sees Crystal going back to its previous activity, giving him his peace and quiet back. The sun soon started to set, and the sky was turning dark. Julian fed his pokemons and went to bed. Tomorrow will be another long day for him. Julian turned off the lights and went to sleep. A new morning and Julian woke up as the morning rays entered his room. He sat up on his bed and yawned while stretching his arms. Today he will continue looking for Cipher or Totem pokemons. Julian hopes that if he sticks to looking for a totem den, he will also find a cipher base just like the one he found on Melemele ind. Julian performed his usual morning routine and got ready for the day, as he predicts another long, uneventful day for him. He just got lucky on Melemele ind to stumble upon a totem den so he doesn''t expect to find it today, but he hasn''t given hope. Julian rode on Charizard and entered the dense jungle again, but this time he decided to visit the volcano, he wants to get a Firium-Z. He can go through the W Volcano park and challenge the totem pokemon up there. Another Z-crystal in the bag will increase his arsenal. Though Julian doesn''t need it right now, he knows he will need it in the future. With how this world works, trouble follows one after the other. Julian doesn''t believe he will only have to take care of Cipher here. Charizard flew fast and soonnded on the foot of the volcano as he needs to talk with the Kahuna of this ind. Chapter 1296: Kahuna Of Akala Chapter 1296: Kahuna Of Ak W Volcano is massive, and very few people live around it as it is very active as well. Most of these people are either the old rough and tough ones who have experienced several explosions and have defense mechanisms against them or people who work for the Ak''s council as they are tasked to keep a close eye on the volcano and give out early warnings to the people of Ak ind before the volcano explodes. Amongst them lives another very important person, the Kahuna of Ak ind. She is a woman in her mid-20s and the strongest pokemon trainer on Ak ind. Julian instructed his Charizard tond in front of a small pink-painted house which is situated right next to W Volcano, on its foot. Julian debarked from Charizard and looked at the pink house in front of him. There is nothing else in his surroundings other than the pink house. The floor beneath his feet is extremely hard, but also brittle because ofyers andyers ofva settling over the previously hardened ones every time the volcano erupted. There are some young nts breaking out of the brittle but hardnd ready to grow into massive towering trees, but they will never grow to their full extent because the volcano will erupt again and wipe out these young nts. Then the cycle will continue again. Young nts will break out and then get destroyed byva. Julian then inspected the house and noticed brokenva rocks around the house. These rocks are, of course, formed by theva flowing down the volcano and settling against the walls of the house. And when theva cools down, they are broken and removed, leaving the house in its present state. If these rocks were not removed, then there would have been a huge mound ofva rock resting against the wall of the house, and that would destroy it. Julian continued to inspect his surroundings and felt the temperature to be very high and it is to be expected. This ce is right next to an active volcano, after all. He finally decided to greet the Kahuna and stepped forward. He stood in front of the door and knocked on it. There was no response. He knocked on it again. But still, no response. This time, he banged on the door with his fist. The only reason he does so is that he can tell someone is inside. He can feel them. After a few seconds, the door finally opens, and outes a stunning-looking dark-skinned woman wearing a small pink top and short pink shorts, and her top has a serious wardrobe malfunction as it has slipped down leaving one of her breastspletely out in the open for Julian to view but the woman seems oblivious to it. The reason? She is very sleepy. It looks like she was asleep and Julian''s knocking must have woken her up. She is also sweating a lot because of the temperature of their surrounding. Julian is surprised that she could sleep in such heat. She yawns as tears form in her eyes. She wipes her tears with her finger and finally gets the view of the person that just disturbed her sleep. While she is looking at Julian, Julian is looking at her exposed breast. Julian ''Perfectly shaped, not big, not small, but nice looking. Very dark nipples, but I like it.'' He thought as he evaluated her breast. "Who are you?" She asked in her deep voice as she just woke up from her sleep. Everyone sounds deep when they just wake up. Julian "Before we discuss that, you should take care of your top" Julian says and points at her breast. She looks down and sees one of her breasts hanging out of her top. Her eyes go wide and she blushes from embarrassment. She quickly turns her back to him to fix her top, it''s a quick fix, so she didn''t take long and turns to face Julian again. "Sorry for that" She apologizes while still being embarrassed about her wardrobe malfunction. Julian "I will ignore it" Julian answered, but he really couldn''t. One wouldn''t forget such nice breasts even if forced to do so. "That''s good.*phew* So how can I help you?" She asks. Julian "I am Julian, you should have heard about me" Julian said. The woman thinks for a second before it suddenly hits her, and she yells out in surprise. "YOU ARE JULIAN!!!" As she screams, she loses her bnce and starts to fall down, but Julian grabs her by her waist and pulls her closer, with just a few inches of distance between their lips. She blushes again, but before it could get any more awkward, Julian lets her go. Julian "Yes I am, and you should be a little careful" Julian says. "Sorry about that, again, It''s just a habit of mine to exaggerate things" She says and continues. "By the way, my name is Olivia, the Kahuna of Ak ind" She says and extends her hand for a handshake. Julian "I know, nice to meet you, Olivia" Julian says and shakes her hand. Julian ''She is a real klutz'' Julian thought. Julian "So you should be informed about what is happening in Al right now, right?" Julian asks, and Olivia suddenly gets serious. She looks left and right to check if anyone is around and pulls Julian into her house and locks the door behind her. Julian feels that such action was not needed as no one could even hide around here if they tried to. Though Olivia looks serious right now, she can''t help but behave like a goof. Chapter 1297: Premature Eruption? Chapter 1297: Premature Eruption? Olivia "Pleasee in first" Olivia said, and guided Julian into her house. Julian nodded and walked in. He looked around Olivia''s house and found it small but cozy. The temperature is a little high for his liking, but it is still livable. Olivia looks at Julian and points him toward the only furniture in the house and that is her bed, and since this house is very small, she cannot put anything more than a bed, a freezer, and a satellite TV. And with this house being very close to the volcano, Olivia doesn''t have any wired connections connecting this home to the other towns on Ak ind. Julian sat down on her bed, which she just used to sleep on. She hasn''t even tidied it up. Olivia then took out a bottle of water from her refrigerator and tossed it to Julian. He caught it with one hand and uncaped its top to take a sip. Cold water was a great relief for him right now. Even though he can live in the toughest situation, a bottle of cold water helps him keep his cool. He wondered how Olivia could live in a ce like this. Olivia also helped herself with a bottle of cold water and approached Julian and sat down right next to him on her bed. She doesn''t seem to be bothered by sitting right next to him, as she is very open to strangers and shows no sign of wariness towards them. Some people can easily take advantage of this, but they would be foolish if they try to do so. At the end of the day, she is one of the strongest, and if not the strongest, trainers on Ak ind. And Julian also doesn''t mind this beautiful woman sitting right next to him. His eyes fall on her body. She is slender and has muscle definition. He can see her abs and the muscle definition on her arms and shoulders. She is clearly a very active woman, and it shows on her body. He can also see tan lines on her body. Olivia''s skin is dark, but that is not her natural skin color. She is a little lighter and has a simrplexion to the people living on the ind but working in heat close to the volcano almost every day has darkened her skin except the parts of her body that are covered by the little clothes she wears. Them being her little top and very short shorts. Julian "So let''s get down to business. You must have heard about Cipher. Have you encountered them yet?" Julian asked. Olivia "No I have not. I have been busy with other stuff. The volcano has recently shown signs of eruption, so I have been busy. As for cipher, I letw enforcement handle it. Though cipher is a big problem, the volcano eruption is much more important and at the top of my priority list. Eruption right now can be a serious problem". Julian "Isn''t volcano eruptionsmon here? Don''t you have a way to deal with it?" Julian asked with a frown. An ind like Ak should know how to handle eruption events, since it''s a frequent urrence. Olivia "Well, if it was a predictable urrence, then we would have been ready for it, but something is not right this time. A volcanic eruption happens every four to five here on Ak ind so people have enough time to prepare for it, but thest eruption only happened a year ago, so there should be no sign of any activity down there, but something''s not right this time." Julian "Why is that?" Julian asks. Olivia "I don''t know. I have asked geologists to look into it but they are not here yet. If the volcano does erupt, it will bring great downfall to Ak ind. It will even affect the surrounding inds as well." Julian "I see. Maybe I can help with something. The sooner we resolve this volcano problem, the sooner we can get back to cipher business" Olivia "Thank you, I really appreciate all the help I can get" She says with a p of her hands and a big smile on her face. Being an adult woman, she sometimes acts like a child. Julian "So what can I do?" Julian asked. Olivia "There is nothing you can do right now as we still don''t know anything that is causing the volcano to react, so you will have to wait until the geologists are here" She said. Julian "When are they arriving?" Olivia "They will be here in a few days since they areing from a different region" Olivia said. Julian "When they arrive here, you can reach out to me" Julian said and exchanged phone numbers with Olivia. He came here to discuss cipher with Olivia, but seeing that she doesn''t know much about them was disappointing, but he couldn''t me her either. Her first and foremost job is the safety of this ind, and an eruption is a huge threat. After exchanging numbers, Julian bid farewell to her and decided to not visit the volcano, as he just learned about its status. He doesn''t want to do anything that might cause a premature eruption which can harm the locals. Julian decided to continue with his search for pokemons and totem dens in the forest of Ak itself. He called out Charizard and got on top of his back and looked back at Olivia, who waved goodbye to him. He just nodded his head and signaled Charizard to fly. And with a strong p of his wing, Charizard took to the air, leaving behind nothing but a dust cloud. Chapter 1298: The Hunted Pokemon Chapter 1298: The Hunted Pokemon Julian''s hunt for a suitable pokemon continues but it is harder than he expected, it is not that he has not found any suitable pokemons, it''s just that he has be very picky with his choices. It can take any pokemon and train them to heights that no other pokemon can reach, but he will always be left wondering if he had a pokemon with more potential, how much stronger it would have been. And that is why Julian''s desire to catch exceptional pokemon was born. He wants to see how strong a pokemon can really get. Julian continued to search for hours, both for totem den and a fitting pokemon for him to raise, but he found no sess in either of them. The sun was about to set, and Julian has set up a camp to rest for a while. His Charizard has been flying all day, and he needs some rest. He also needs to train his pokemons as they have not trained today. Julian sits on his foldable chair right next to his portable cooking gadgets and watched his young pokemons do some intense physical training while his older pokemons just sat there doing their own thing. Julian decided to spend the night here out in the forest tonight, as he missed the smell of camping overnight in the middle of the forest. Time passed and night fell. The forest became livelier than ever as the sound of pokemons echoed throughout the night. Julian fed his pokemon and then set up his tent and went to sleep. It didn''t take him long to fall asleep in the midst of the pleasant sound of the forest. While Julian slept, Gengar, who always keeps his eye around Julian''s surroundings, felt something, an aura familiar to him he has not felt for quite a while. Gengar came out of Julian''s shadow and phased out of his tent, and looked in a certain direction deep inside the forest. Gengar then phased into the ground and disappeared into the dark night. ____________________ A few kilometers away from where Julian has set up his camp, members of cipher are carefullybing down the area around them as if they are searching for something. These cipher members also seem to be different from the ones Julian has encountered. Instead of wearing their signature silver and ck uniform, these guys have only ck donned on their uniform with the visor on their helmet being red. Their uniform also seems to be fitted with better armor for their protection. Their number is not big, only four of them, but the way they move andmunicate with each other indicates that they are well-trained and coordinated with each other. This can only be achieved with experience and hard training, and these four seem to be no joke. "I can''t believe we were ordered toe all the way here just to hunt a second-rate legendary pokemon." One of them spoke in disdain. It was as if hunting a second-rate legendary pokemon was insulting to them. "Don''tin, as per the report. This one is a little special, even though it''s weak, its energy is very potent, and the leader wants it captured for further studies. He believes that learning how to implement energy like this pokemon will increase the chance of shadowfying even legendary pokemons". The leader, who is in front of the group, spoke softly and moved toward the direction where his device is pointing at. His team consists of four people, two men, him and the one that spoke before, and two women who have remained quiet the whole time. The only thing they are concerned about ispleting the mission that was handed to them. "How far is it?" One of the women asked, as they were not getting closer to their target. "It''s close by, we just need to corner it and capture it" The leader spoke as they marched closer to their target, then the leader suddenly stopped and raised his hand, signaling the others to stop as well. In the dead of the night, the sound of insect pokemons covered the whole surrounding, but the leader''s eyes are locked onto a particr tree, especially its shadow. He then suddenly pulled out a gun-like weapon and shot an energy st at the shadow, forcing the pokemon hiding in it toe out into the opening. The pokemon isn''t big and only stands about 2 feet tall. The four cipher members looked at the pokemon and took out their Pokeball and called out their pokemon. All four of them sent bug-type pokemons as bug-type moves are extremely effective against the pokemon that is in front of them. The four pokemons are Scizor, Vespiquen, Scolipede, and Volcarona. All four of these pokemons are extremely strong, way stronger than any pokemon Julian hase across when he faced cipher on his own. The pokemon they are trying to capture was worried. It has been running from them for quite a while and now it seems to have been cornered. It has no other option but to fight. It got in a stance with its little arm raised, ready to fight. Chapter 1299: Four Against One Chapter 1299: Four Against One The small shadow pokemon didn''t like being cornered like this. It tried to run away from them for quite a while, but no matter how far it runs; they were always able to chase it down. Now it decided that it no longer wanted to run, it will face these people and chase them away. It dreams to be a strong pokemon like his idol and he realized that running won''t allow him to be one. It took a fighting stance and red at the four pokemons opposing it. It could feel like each one of these four pokemons is very powerful and it will have a tough time defeating them. But it doesn''t see this as a disadvantage but as a hurdle to ovee. If it is able to defeat these four pokemons at the same time, it will grow stronger. The cipher members carefully stared at the pokemon in front of them and mentally signaled to each other to get ready. As soon as the leader makes his move, the others will follow and attack. "Volcarona, use Bug Buzz" The leader ordered first, and soon the others followed. "X-Scissor" "Attack Order" "Mega Horn" All four bug pokemons jumped at their opponent in a union. Volcarona used Bug Buzz and sent out waves of vibrating energy. Scizor charged at it using X-Scissor. Vespiquen used Attack Order and sent multiple bees made of energy at its opponent. Scolipede also charged at its target using Mega Horn. All these bug pokemons used their powerful bug-type moves. If any of these attacksnd, they will deal great damage to their ghost-type target. And if all four of these movesnd, it is over for their target. Their opponent saw these attacksing towards it. It first moved to the side and dodged the X-Scissor and then phased into the ground, escaping those bees made of energy and the vibrating energy waves. Scolipede stopped as its target is now out of its sight. With no target, it cannot use its Mega Horn. But before it could even reset itself, its opponent phased out of the ground right behind it and used Sucker Punch right on its back. Scolipede got sent rolling on the ground by that powerful Sucker Punch, its opponent''s strength is more than it anticipated. Scolipede''s trainer. The other man of the group gritted his teeth as he sees his Scolipede receive damage. But the other members of the group were not phased, as soon as their target reappeared, they made their move. "Volcarona, use String Shot" The leader''s Volcarona was ready. As soon as it heard its owner''smand, it shot a sticky silk string covered in bug energy, and since it was covered in bug energy, its target cannot phase out of it. The sticky silktched onto its target and immobilized it, allowing the other pokemons to deal damage to it. Vespiquen used Attack Order and battered its target with bees made of every and Scizor was able tond a powerful X-Scissor, sending its target shooting through the air and crashing into a tree. But this was not enough to take down the target. The pokemon got back to its feet and created multiple balls of shadow, which then started to spin around it. The Shadow Balls then started to speed up, creating an illusion of a dark halo around it. If a certain shadow pokemon with a massive grin was here, he would easily recognize this method of using Shadow Ball. The ghost pokemon then shot the shadow balls at the four pokemon at blinding speed like a machine gun. The four pokemons couldn''t do anything but take it head on, as they couldn''t block the overwhelming amount of shadow ballsing towards them. Once they got bombarded, they crashed into the ground hard, but the damage the shadow pokemon expected on its four opponents was not to its expectation, it overestimated its own power. The four pokemons are way higher level than it. These attacks did deal damage, but not enough to take them out. Even though it was the ghost pokemon''s best attack, it failed. The four bug pokemons got back up and started attacking. The ghost pokemon was able to counter and dodge some of their attacks, but soon started to get overwhelmed by the frequency and coordinated attacks from its opponents. Right now, it is exhausted and damaged. It knows it will not able tost much longer. "It''s about to go down, prepare the capture box" The leader spoke as he sees their target about to go down. "This little bastard was quite tough, even though he is so weak. Boss will be happy to have it in his grasp." The other male spoke while the women didn''t say a word and just focused on the battle. While these four cipher members and their pokemon were busy ganging up on the ghost pokemon, they didn''t notice two crimson-red eyes staring at them, and right below these eyes is a massive, wide grin. One look at it and the toughest person would pee their pants in fright. Chapter 1300: Help From The Shadow Chapter 1300: Help From The Shadow Gengar follows his senses, which guides him to a ce where a very fierce battle is taking ce. He looks at the pokemons involved in the battle and recognizes one of them and it is currently being ganged up by four powerful pokemons that are way ahead of its league. Gengar decided to watch as the scene unfolded. He saw the little shadow pokemon perform his signature move, the machine gun shadow ball, and Gengar had to admit that the little one performed it almost perfectly. Gengar watched as these shadow balls make contact with its opponent, but its opponents were able to just shrug it off and started counter-attacking the little shadow pokemon. This went on for a few minutes as Gengar watched the little shadow pokemon get bullied by the four bug pokemons till it was having a very hard time getting back to its feet. Gengar realized that the little shadow pokemon won''t be able to carry this on for much longer and finally decided to step in. He also noticed the human trainers were also up to no good as they pulled out a glowing blue box. Gengar phased into his own shadow and disappeared, leaving no trace behind. __________________ One of the female members took out a capture box from her equipment belt and got ready to capture the shadow pokemon. The Scizornded another X-Scissor and finally put its opponent on the ground. The little shadow pokemon tried to get back to its feet but was unsessful. It has spent too much energy, and it is heavily damaged. "Now!" The leader voiced out making the female with the capture box throw the box at the fallen shadow pokemon. Just when everyone thought that they have sessfully captured this pesky pokemon who has been escaping from them for months, a tentacle made of shadow appeared out of nowhere and swatted the box away. The capture box flew and hit a tree and lodged deep into it. Cipher members saw this and frowned. They didn''t expect the shadow pokemon to still have energy to fight back, except one. The leader knew that it was not the shadow pokemon that swatted away the capture box. He looked at the box lodged deep into the tree and felt uneasy. The energy behind that tentacle was way more than whatever their target had disyed throughout the battle. "Everyone, be on your guard, something else is here" The leader warned them and started looking around to find the culprit. The other members also became alert as they know to trust their leader''s instinct. It has saved them many times and today will be no different. The four pokemons also took a fighting stance, covering each other''s back in a tight circle. The little shadow pokemon was finally able to collect itself and get back on its feet. It is still very exhausted and damaged but its will is tough; it is not going down so easily, but it was surprised to see the tense atmosphere around him. It saw its attackers being very cautious, as if they were facing an invisible enemy. The little shadow pokemon also started looking around cautiously as it wanted to know what was happening, then it felt it. A familiar aura. It looked down on the ground at its own shadow and saw two crimson eyes looking back at it. Seeing the two eyes, it got very excited and couldn''t hide it. It started to jump around with excitement. The cipher leader saw this and looked at the little shadow pokemon''s shadow and saw the same thing the little shadow pokemon saw. Two crimson eyes looking back at him. He suddenly felt a dreadful chill run down his spine and his fight response kicked in. When a human is in danger, their body goes into two different responses: fight or flight. And the leader chose to fight, as this is what he has been conditioned to do from a very young age. "At its shadow, all of you attack" The leader ordered and the four pokemons locked onto the little shadow pokemon''s shadow and saw the crimson eyes. Once locked, they used their most powerful special attack and hurled it at the shadow pokemon''s shadow. The little shadow pokemon has no strength to fight back or even dodge, but it doesn''t seem to be worried at all. It just stood rooted on its feet and weed the iing attacks. As the powerful special attacks were about to make contact with the shadow pokemon, a massive ck void appeared in front of the shadow pokemon and engulfed all those attacks in an instant. It was as if they got swallowed by a ck hole. The cipher members were shocked, their pokemons were shocked, and everyone was shocked except the little shadow pokemon. Instead, it was just excited to see the power difference between those four bug pokemons and its idol. "What the fuck was that?" The other male cipher member spoke as he couldn''tprehend how their pokemon''s most powerful moves were just swallowed up like they didn''t exist at all. Nobody spoke after his question. The leader, and the two female members, all have their eyes on the two crimson eyes in the little shadow pokemon''s shadow. The leader started to sweat, and he felt his heart start to beat faster. His gut told him to run, but it also told him that there was no escape from the monster that lies in the shadow. "GEGEGEGEGEGEGEGE! " Suddenly, this creepyughter ran across the whole area. It was as if theughter wasing from everywhere and the dark cold environment was not helping it either. All of them felt scared, even their pokemons. Chapter 1301: Rag Dolled Chapter 1301: Rag Dolled The creepyughter covered the whole surrounding, causing any pokemon and people in the vicinity to shiver in fear. The leader wondered if it was all an illusion and looked around his surrounding trying to find the location of where theughter wasing from. Suddenly, he sees the same two crimson eyes up behind the thick leaves of a tree and, without hesitation, calls for an attack. His Volcarona attacked onmand but finds nothing on the other end. The same goes for the other members of Cipher as well. They are seeing multiple crimson eyes all around them and they are ordering their pokemons to constantly attack those eyes, but as soon as their pokemon''s move makes contact, the target just disappears. "It''s ying with us" One of the female members finally spoke as she realized all their efforts to attack these entities were nothing but them wasting their pokemon''s energy. The more their pokemons attack, the sooner they will exhaust themselves. "Number 4 is right, stop attacking and conserve your pokemon''s energy" The leader ordered, and they stopped attacking and brought their focus back on the little shadow pokemon who seems to have gained back some of its strength. "Leader, how about we continue to target the little one? It should force the one hiding toe out, then we can capture both of them." The other female suggested. "Good idea, Number 3. Let''s use the little one to bring the big one from hiding" The leader said and ordered his Volcarona to attack the little shadow pokemon again. The rest of the cipher members also ordered an attack from their respective pokemon, but it is useless. Another ck wormhole appeared and swallowed the four attacks. "Use physical attacks" The leader ordered and called his Volcarona to use re Blitz. Following his action, the others also called for a physical move from their pokemon. The four pokemons charged at the little shadow pokemon but before they could evennd a single attack, four ck shadow tentacles came out of the ground and, like a whip, shed at the four bug pokemons, stopping them right in their tracks. Then the tentaclestched onto their legs and lifted them up in the air and started to m them around like a rag dolls. On the ground, against the tree trunks, through the thick thorny bushes, and dragging them on the rough ground, once they were done, the tentacles tossed the four bug pokemons on the ground like trash. All four of them are out cold. The four cipher members felt their bodies go cold. It was as if someone poured ice-cold water on their exposed naked body on a cold winter night. "RETREAT!" The leader shouted and quickly called back his Volcarona and so did the other members. and as they turned around and were ready to bolt, they all fell face first on the ground, smacking their helmets hard on the ground. They groaned in pain as the fall rattled their brains, then they looked at the reason for their fall, four shadow tentacles wrapped around their ankles like a constricting snake. Their faces be pale white as they see these tentaclestched on their ankles. The memory of their pokemons being rag dolled around the whole vicinity shed in their mind, turning the fear in their heart to dread. "Gegegegegegege" They hear the creepyugh again and this time they finally see the monster of this nightmare they are ground through. From a patch of a pitch-ck shadow emerges a pokemon they are very familiar with. A Gengar, they all have seen a Gengar in their life and they have also used the organization''s Gengar for special missions, but this is the first time they are seeing a monster of a Gengar. This Gengar is like no other. His eyes are the bloodiest of them all, and his big wide grin is like theugh of death. The spines on its back are bigger, longer, and look sharper. Truly a monster for their nightmares. When they were little, their mothers would tell them the tale of the evil Gengar who woulde and snatch kids away from their parents. And now they couldn''t help but be reminded of those horror childhood stories looking at the Gengar standing in front of them. They don''t know what to do or how to escape. Now they can only wish that this Gengar doesn''t kill them. The second male, number 2 was even ready to get on his knees and beg for his life, but before he could even do so, the tentacles started to drag them into the shadow realm. They screamed and called for help, but it was of no use. Nobody would hear them inside this dense dark jungle, and even if someone did, they would not be stupid enough toe here all alone. All four of them watched in horror as their body slowly disappeared into the shadow before their heads were also fully submerged in the shadow realm. Their bodies disappeared. It was as if they never existed. Once Gengar was done with them, he turned and looked at the little shadow pokemon, his number one fan, the little legendary pokemon Marshadow. Chapter 1302: A Growing Team Chapter 1302: A Growing Team Marshadow [Mr. Gengar, how are you here?] Marshadow asked with excitement. He couldn''t believe his luck. He didn''t know what would have happened to him if his idol, Mr. Gengar, didn''t show up. Gengar [Gegege, I am here with my master. Why are you here, little one? And why were they after you?] Gengar asked. Marshadow [I don''t know, they suddenly started chasing me around. I came here hoping to escape from them, but they followed me here as well.] Marshadow answered. Gengar [I see, so what are you going to do now?] Gengar asked. Marshadow [I don''t know. I need to start running again; I guess. They are not going to give up so easily. They are very persistent.] Marshadow answered. Gengar looked at Marshadow and saw that Marshadow has grown quite a lot. Even though he hasn''t leveled up significantly, his control over his own energy is tremendous and he was able to achieve this on his own. After giving it some thought, Gengar decided to bring Marshadow along with him. Gengar [You are in luck little one, my master is looking for a pokemon to take under and you should be the perfect candidate. You did want to learn from my master, right?] Hearing Gengar, the little Marshadow got more excited, he has heard about his idol''s master, and his idol be so strong because of his master that if he wants to be as strong as his idol, he also needs to learn under his idol''s master. Marshadow [Really? Will he take me in?] Marshadow asked. Gengar [Don''t worry little one, you show very rare potential. My master will not let your potential go to waste.] Gengar says and turns around. Gengar [Now follow me, let''s go back to my master.] Gengar says and brings Marshadow back to the camp. Since everyone is sleeping, Gengar doesn''t want to disturb anyone. Gengar [Master is sleeping right now. You will meet him tomorrow morning.] Gengar said and disappeared into the shadows and since Marshadow has nothing to do as well, it did the same and blended into the shadow as well. Since the night is silent and quiet, most of Julian''s pokemons, who were outside, didn''t notice Gengar''s and Marshadow''s arrival, except for one. Infernape opened one of his eyes and looked at Gengar and Marshadow, disappearing into the shadow before closing his eyes again. Infernape ''What is he up to now?'' Infernape thought and went back to training his mind and achieving an even higher level of control of his immense energy. ____________________ The morning rays of the sun prated Julian''s tent and lit up the insides, forcing Julian to open his eyes. He then yawned, walked out of the tent, and noticed Gengar was out in the open with a pokemon he had never seen before. Julian carefully looks at the pokemon and is surprised. Julian ''What is a Marshadow doing with Gengar?'' Julian questions and continues watching Marshadow. He is again surprised by how strong this Marshadow ispared to its level. This made him wonder if this Marshadow belongs to some trainer. Gengar notices Julian''s presence and turns around to look at him and then approaches him while Marshadow follows close by. Julian "What is it Gengar?" Julian asks. Gengar "Ge geng ge ge gen ga gar" Gengar says while pointing at the Marshadow. Julian "You brought this one here for me to catch?" Julian asks with surprise, and Gengar nods his head. Julian can''t believe that even his pokemons are now bringing him pokemons to catch. Julian "Well, this little one is very strong. How did he manage toe this far?" Julian questioned out loud, which made Gengar exin the whole story about him and Marshadow. How they met in a shadow world once and how Marshadow became determined to be like Gengar and increase his strength. Trying to be the most powerful Marshadow. When he heard this, Julian was surprised again. He couldn''t believe that Marshadow was able to refine his aura and energy on his own and grow stronger. This, of course, hindered his growth, but he is a legendary pokemon. He will live for thousands of years. One thing he has is time. Julian then crouched down and brought his face close to Marshadow. Marshadow looked at him with curious eyes as well. Julian "What do you say, little one? Do you want to train under me?" Julian asked. There is no way he is going to miss this chance. First Marshadow is a legendary pokemon. Second, his potential is something Julian has never seen before. Hearing Julian''s question, Marshadow looked at Gengar and back at Julian before nodding his head. Julian "Good" Julian said and took out a Pokeball and pressed it on Marshadow''s forehead. The Pokeball opened and engulfed Marshadow. The Pokeball then blinked twice before chiming, indicating a sessful catch. Now Julian has a new pokemon in his team, and that is thanks to Gengar. Julian "By the way, how did you find Marshadow here?" Julian asked. Gengar then suddenly remembered something and rubbed his head before opening the gate of his shadow realm and dragging out four people. Julian looked at the four people and frowned. Gengar seems to be filled with surprises today. Julian "Cipher" Julian whispered and approached the four horrified cipher members. Chapter 1303: Darkest Hell Chapter 1303: Darkest Hell Julian approached the four horrified cipher members and noticed the difference between their uniforms and the ones he has seen worn by the other cipher members he has encountered in the past. He approached the scared bunch as they looked around in fear. Seeing the look on their faces, Julian could tell that Gengar had done a number on them. Julian looked back at Gengar for an exnation and got one. Gengar told him how these four had cornered Marshadow and tried to capture him. Knowing the danger that Cipher put pokemons in, Julian was d that Gengar found them before they could do anything to Marshadow, or he would have turned out just like the berserk Volcanion that he still holds on to, hoping he would fix it someday. He squatted down in front of the four captured cipher members tied up by Gengar''s shadow tentacle so there was no escaping it. The leader was the first to calm down and look at Julian. As soon as he saw Julian, he recognized him. Being an elite hunter group working under Cipher, they were told of people that they should run from as soon as they even sense the hint of their presence, and Julian is at the top of that list. Cipher is very aware of Julian''s existence. After their failed experiment going berserk in the Kalos league, they found the video recording of Julian taking down a berserk legendary with ease, and that made them wary of him. They also know that he is in possession of the Volcanion. Cipher is in a very crucial stage of development right now and they don''t want any trouble, especially from trainers like Julian. Even a single champion-level trainer dys their operation or even brings it to aplete stop if they don''t take carefully measured steps, so every elite member working under Cipher is informed about trainers like Julian and how they should always keep their distance from them. The leader is stunned seeing Julian here. He didn''t expect he would be unlucky enough to get captured by someone he never wanted to get involved with. He had no idea that Julian was here on Ak ind. He cursed his bad luck and looked at the monster that captured them, the Gengar standing beside Julian, who was giggling and watching them. He felt another chill run down his spine as he recalled the cold and dark ce they were trapped in. There was no light there, only darkness. It was so eerie quiet that he was hearing sounds that didn''t exist in the first ce. His ears felt stuffed by the nothingness, he was slowly losing his sense as he couldn''t even feel the surrounding atmosphere. He had always ignored the weight of the atmosphere on his body his whole life, and for the first time when he felt it not being there. He started to panic. He felt as if he could breathe. He knew that wasn''t true because he wouldn''t have been alive for so long if he couldn''t breathe, but that didn''t help. The feeling of suffocation destroyed his mental resistance. He felt lost in this endless darkness. He tried to call out his team members, but he didn''t hear back anything. The emptiness of his surrounding slowly started to eat through him mentally. It was hell. He couldn''t tell the time, his sense was all over the ce so he couldn''t tell the direction, and he couldn''t figure out where the ground is and where the sky belongs. It was horror, and he didn''t want to experience it again. His teammates also suffered the same fate, but they had it much worse than him. They were not as mentally tough as him. They passed out from fear, woke up, and experienced the same thing over and over again, passing out from fear, waking up. The empty dark void broke them. They would rather kill themselves than go back to that hell they were trapped in. Julian watched the four carefully and noticed that only one had recovered from the torture that Gengar has put them through. Julian wondered what level Gengar imprisoned them for them to lose their mind like this. Just like the nine levels of hell, Gengar has already created 9 levels in his shadow realm, and the deeper the level, the scarier the experience. The level that Gengar had trapped these four is level 7, the void. Julian then brought his attention back to the man, who seems to be doing a little better than the others. He also noticed the shock on the man''s face as he was staring back at Julian. Julian "From the look on your face, you should know who I am, right?" Julian asked with a smile. The man just nodded his head to answer. He doesn''t know what Julian wants, but that smile on his face was not helping the man calm down. He just hopes that Julian doesn''t send him back to the hell he was just pulled out from. Chapter 1304: Meeting The Team Chapter 1304: Meeting The Team Julian "Since you know who I am, then I don''t need to introduce myself. As for you? What is your position in Cipher?" Julian asked. He isn''t going to drag this out any more than it should. If this person is smart, he will start talking without being threatened. But there is always the possibility of them not cooperating. Julian wondered what this person would choose, as he didn''t mind sending them back to the hell Gengar put them through. The leader looked at Julian and then back at Gengar. He knows it is in his best interest to talk and he also knows that if he doesn''t, he will be sent back to that hell. He knew this because he would do the same. If you have a prison that can mentally torture the fuck out of your captive, why not use it to its full capability? The leader then started to speak. Leader "We are the elite hunter group in Cipher. Our job is to hunt and capture legendary and mystical pokemon or pokemons of simr status" He answered. Julian "And what do you do after you capture these pokemons?" Leader "We hand them over to one of the admins who takes them away from further experimentation" Julian "So you wanted to capture Marshadow and perform experiments on it?" Leader "Yes, but that Marshadow was a little special" Julian "Special? How?" Leader "The Marshadow showed overwhelming control of its own energy, our scientists were fascinated by the Marshadow and wanted to perform experiments on it. They believe it is the key to perfect shadow pokemons and haveplete control over them" Julian "That''s it?" Leader "Yes, and even if their theory was not urate, they can still force shadowfication on Marshadow to see how it will reactpared to other legendary pokemons because of its typing" Hearing this, Julian''s eyes turned cold. He knew that he made the right decision to eradicate this organization from the face of the world. Julian "So other than hunting pokemon, you don''t have any other significance in Cipher?" Julian asked. Leader "Well, since we are among the elites, sometimes we are asked to escort some important members" Julian didn''t say anything and turned towards Gengar and gave him and signal before walking away. The leader looked confused as to why Julian suddenly stopped questioning him. What he doesn''t know is that he really doesn''t need to do it. He can just make Gengar extract it from his head painfully. And before he could even realize that he was doomed, his body started to get dragged into the shadow realm once again. Leader "NOOOO! You lied to me, you need to let me go" He shouted, making Julian stop. Julian then turned around and looked at the leader. Julian "What are you talking about? I never said I will let you go. You assumed it, and I didn''t even need you to open your mouth. I would have extracted it from your head, anyway" Julian said and continued walking back to his tent. The leader stared at Julian''s back with wide eyes while gritting his teeth in anger. Leader "You fuckerrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!" He screamed as he and his teammates got dragged into the shadow realm again, but that isn''t all. Once they were sent back to the seventh level, Gengar approached each one of them separately and started extracting their memories. The pain of their memory being extracted made them scream in agony, giving it all with their lungs, but it was of no use as their voice didn''t reach anyone''s ear inside the empty, dark, lightless void. All of them are not a lost cause, three are already broken and one is about to. The leader is mentally tough, but even he won''t be able tost long in this nothingness before losing his mind. Once they be mindless idiots, Gengar would dump them off somewhere, as he had been doing for a long time. He doesn''t want to fill up his realm with useless humans. _____________________ Back to Julian, he called Marshadow, out in the open once again to introduce him to his other pokemons. One by one Julian''s pokemon came out of their Pokeball and looked at Marshadow. Everyone is curious about the new addition to the family. Julian then tapped on his pocket to wake up Crystal as it is a very heavy sleeper. It won''t get up until Julian nudged him awake. Crystal popped its head out while rubbing its eyes with its tiny hands and then looked around. Its eyes then fell on Marshadow and got excited. It immediately snapped out of its drowsy state and flew towards Marshadow with enthusiasm. The sudden approach from this unknown pokemon took Marshadow back, but from his experience and sense, Marshadow could tell that this pokemon, which is even smaller than him, is very strong. Crystal waved its little hand in front of Marshadow, greeting him. Marshadow was confused, but put his hand forward to greet Crystal as well. Big mistake. Crystal suddenly grabbed Marshadow''s hand and started to go crazy, lifting Marshadow off the ground and spinning him around, trying to have fun, but only for Crystal. The speed Crystal is moving might be normal to it, but a young pokemon like Marshadow is not used to such fast movements. Julian had to step in before Crystal scares away Marshadow. Julian grabbed Crystal by its tail and stopped it. Crystal got confused as to why Julian stopped it and looked at him. Julian "You should let go of Marshadow. He isn''t feeling well" Julian said. Crystal moved its head to the side in confusion and looked down at Marshadow. and saw his eyes spinning in dizziness. Realizing what it has done, Crystal let go of Marshadow and pulled out its tongue, and rubbed the back of its tiny head, trying to y this off as a mistake. Chapter 1305: Into The Volcano Chapter 1305: Into The Volcano After calming down Crystal and the rest of his team, Julian brought his attention back to Marshadow. Since he still has some time, he decided to see how much Marshadow has learned by himself in the wild. He learned from Gengar that Marshadow has known him for quite a while and had learned a few tricks from Gengar. So Julian asks Marshadow to disy his best move. On Julian''s instruction, Marshadow creates a shadow ball that ispact and filled with ghost energy. Julian is impressed as he feels the power radiating from the shadow ball, but then Marshadow started to create more shadow balls and added to Julian''s surprise. These shadow balls then started to spin around Marshadow, and with every second, the speed of these shadow balls increased, creating a dark hallow around Marshadow. Julian is surprised to see this. This is the signature move that he teaches his pokemons. He didn''t expect Marshadow to already know how to use it. Nowpletely impressed by his new pokemon, Julian wanted to see what else he has in store for in the future. He then spent the next hour learning more about Marshadow and all his abilities. He learned that Marshadow has great control over his energy and aura, but there is still room for improvement. Though he is a little older than his other pokemons, he is not bothered by it because of Marshadow''s status as a legendary pokemon. They don''t age very fast, and they have a lot of time to grow in strength. After learning almost everything about Marshadow, Julian ced him directly under Gengar''s care. Since Marshadow is mostfortable with Gengar, it is best for him to hang out with Gengar than any other pokemon. Marshadow will also learn from the best ghost type pokemon in Julian''s team, and there is also Aegish who can teach Marshadow in ways even Gengar will not able to do so, as Aegish is a genius, he understands energy and aura better than any of Julian''s pokemons, except Infernape. Right now, Julian has no need to focus his attention on Marshadow when his other new pokemons need it much more, till his other pokemons catch up. He will leave Marshadow in the hands of Gengar and Aegish. It was time for Julian to head back to the town he was staying at as he has nothing else to do. He has found his pokemon and he won''t be wasting any more of his time searching for a pokemon that lives up to his expectations. Returning to the town, he spent his time looking around and eating the variety of food he could find in the food stalls and stores around the town. He discovered that Ak ind''s food consists of mainly milk products but it doesn''t bother Julian. Some of the best foods are made with milk. Along with him, Crystal also drowned in the delicious cuisines of this town, almost getting drunk from them. Seeing this, Julian had to put an end to Crystal''s actions before it bes fat and chunky. Julian returned to his hotel room and slept in for the day. The next day was nothing special. He continued to train his pokemon and also spent some time with Marshadow to build up a strong bond with him. And just like that, a few days passed. The only reason Julian stayed behind on Ak ind is his promise to Kahuna Olivia that he will help her deal with the volcano problem that might soon gue the ind of Ak and today should be the day he will meet her again. Just as he was about to contact her to find out if they were ready to head into the volcano or not, Olivia reached out to him first with a message. [Meet me at my house. The geologist team is here] the message read. Julian put away his phone and got ready. He hopped on his Charizard''s back and flew towards W volcano where Olivia was waiting for him. It didn''t take long for Julian to get there as Charizard flew fast. When he got there, he could see Olivia waiting for him and along with her were a few people with big equipment cases in their hands. Charizard flew down andnded right in front of Olivia and the surrounding people. The sudden appearance of a massive Charizard startled them except for Olivia, but after seeing a man sitting on top of the Charizard, the men calmed down. Olivia "Guys, this is Julian. You all should know him. We will be apanying us into the volcano" Olivia introduced Julian to the group. These people, of course, knew Julian as they were not from the inds, and Julian is very famous outside the Al inds. Seeing that Julian himself was going to apany them into the volcano, these people got excited. As everyone knew with him around, they will not be in any danger. Thedies in the group were especially very excited to see him. Julian smiled and greeted them one by one. Including him and Olivia, there are 10 people who will embark on the volcano. These eight people are here to study the activities inside the volcano and predict when it is exactly going to erupt and maybe also find the cause of its premature eruption. While Julian and Olivia will be in charge of their safety. The w volcano is a very dangerous ce, not only is it extremely hot inside, but the pokemons that inhabit it are also very territorial and will attack anyone that enters their territory. Chapter 1306: Into The Volcano (2) Chapter 1306: Into The Volcano (2) The group of 10 people started making their way up the W Volcano with Olivia leading the group, as she is the most familiar with the terrain of this volcano. Julian, on the other hand, is at the back, making sure that no wild pokemons ambush them from the back. He can also keep an eye on the people in front of him and identify if anyone gets hurt or prevent them from being left behind as climbing a steep rocking mountain is not an easy task and with all the equipment these people are carrying, there will be one or two who will need to stop and catch a breath. Not even halfway up and the leader of the group was already having a hard time, as he is an old man. Julian had no other choice but to stop Olivia and the others so that the old man could catch his breath and restore some of his stamina. The old man felt sorry and apologized to the group, but they weren''t bothered by him. Some of them were very d that the old man got tired because they were not faring well any better. The group rested for fifteen minutes as all of them replenished their energy. All the berries that Julian carried with him came in handy, as they helped a lot in this situation. The group continued their way up the mountain and Julian got to know these people a little better, some of them who were young and energetic were university students who came here with their professor to do a field study while the older ones were professors and well-known names in their field. This group consists of three very well-known professors/scientists and five university students who are either working as their assistants or joined in for their final assignment. The two young girls in the group were very chatty with Julian as they fawned over him making the young men jealous of him but they could understand why these girls who were also aloof and cold to their approach changed their attitude to aplete 180 degrees in front of Julian. Julian is an extremely famous pokemon trainer known for his extreme good looks and his strength. Most girls would change their attitude in front of him. The trek toward the volcano''s top was long and exhausting, but it was also filled with danger. They encountered several wild pokemons who attacked them without blinking and were very aggressive toward them. Olivia and Julian had to step up and chase these pokemons away. Every few minutes they would encounter a wild pokemon that would ruthlessly attack them. If not for Julian and Olivia, this group of geologists would have been seriously hurt. Once they finally reached the top of the volcano, the geologist group rested for a while and then started to prepare their equipment. They wore heat and fireproof uniforms and gave one each to Julian and Olivia as well. Though Julian really doesn''t need a fireproof uniform, he still wore it to not look weird in front of these people. As they were preparing to go in, Julian had a frown on his face as he thought of something. Olivia, being a very attentive person, noticed this and asked him. Olivia "What happened? You seem worried?" Julian "No, I am just confused as to why we encountered so many wild pokemons and why each and every one of them acted hostile toward us" Olivia "Indeed, now that I think about it, this is not normal at all. Most of these pokemons would never approach humans and would rather run the other way. Even their numbers were a little too much. I have never encountered so many pokemons on my way up the volcano before. Something is not right here" Julian "Do you think it is rted to the volcano eruption? These pokemons might have lived inside the volcano but made their way out of there as they sensed it was about to erupt" Julian asked. Olivia gave it some thought and nodded her head. Olivia "This could be a possibility, but I don''t know. I never imed up the volcano when it was close to erupting. This is my first time." She answered. Julian didn''t say anything and just nodded. He watched as the geologists finished their preparation and were ready to enter the volcano. They all carried a special device in their hand while the young ones also carried some containers for storing samples. Olivia once again took the lead and led all of them into the volcano, Julian as before walked behind the group to keep them safe. As he walked over to the opening of the volcano, he looked down and saw the massive boiling mass ofva bubbling up and releasing gasses into the air. Even with the suit he was wearing, he could still feel the temperature rise a little. Julian ''I have a feeling that this is not going to be a simple visit. Something is definitely going on here and I think I know what.'' Julian thought to himself. By now, he is very self-aware of his situation. He has the protagonist curse. Chapter 1307: A Warning Chapter 1307: A Warning Looking down into the volcano''s entrance, Julian knew he was going to encounter something down there. All the signs till now have pointed towards future trouble that he is going to encounter. The constant attacks from wild pokemons, the overabundance of their numbers. He could smell the trouble up ahead. After Olivia and the geologist group entered the volcano, Julian followed closely behind while being very vignt. The geologist started to get to work as the younger members of the team started to collect some samples from the volcano''s mouth while Julian and Olivia kept a close eye on them. They don''t want anyone of them to just tumble down the volcano and fall into the boilingva. After collecting some samples, the group continued to make their way down deeper into the volcano, and the further they went, the hotter it started to get. Julian, who is right behind the group, suddenly felt something and his suspicion increased. The group stopped again to take some samples. Using this chance, Julian walked towards Olivia and asked her something very important. Julian "Olivia, is there a totem den inside the volcano?" Julian asked. Olivia looked at Julian with confusion on her face. She wondered why Julian would think so. Olivia "I don''t know, no one has ever explored W volcano enough to know about each and every corner of it, as it is very dangerous down here. But there is one nearby, on the other side of the volcano. It''s the trial ground trainers participate in to earn a z-crystal" She answered. Julian nodded and kept his thoughts to himself. Olivia was suspicious about this silence, but decided to keep it to herself as well. Julian ''As I expected, there is a totem den down here that the locals have not found and I believe that those Cipher idiots might be behind what is going on right now.'' Julian thought, and continued following them. He just hopes that they don''t encounter any Cipher members, as it could cause panic in the group. If it was only him, Julian really wouldn''t be bothered, but right now he is with a group and he is responsible for keeping them safe from any harm. If pushes to shove, he will have to send them away and handle business by himself. Suddenly, he heard a roaring from right from the front, and it was not just him. The whole team heard it and they were startled by it. They were afraid of what it was as the roar shook them to their core. Julian frowned. Just from the roar, he could tell that the pokemon was massive. He wondered if it was the totem pokemon. But then the question rises if Cipher has been here or not. If it really is the totem pokemon, there is no way Cipher is here or else they would have captured this totem pokemon. Julian "Everyone, stay close, don''t wander any further from us" Julian instructed. They have still note across this pokemon, so it is best to stay together where Julian can keep them safe. Olivia "Going any further would be dangerous, we should go back" Olivia advised. "But, we still haven''t found the reason behind the sudden change of activity of the volcano" One of the lead professors said. Olivia then fell into deep thought. She knew what he said was right. They cannot just stop here now. If they stop, they will never know the reason behind the sudden changes in the volcano and then it will be toote for them to fix it. Olivia then turned towards Julian with a questing look, wondering if he has something up his sleeve. Julian "Let''s continue. Whatever it is, I can handle it. I will send my pokemon up ahead to scout out if there is any danger in front" Julian said and called out his Gengar. Gengar emerged out of his shadow and understood his assignment. The other people who were around him were surprised to see Gengar, as they never expected one to be right beside them and did not even know its existence. Gengar then once again disappeared into the shadows and went deeper into the volcano. Being a ghost-type pokemon, he really isn''t affected by the heat of this ce. Though he would prefer to live in a cold ce, it really doesn''t matter to Gengar. __________________ Gengar ventured deeper into the volcano and soon heard low and heavy breathing close by. He could already sense the pokemon, so he decided to give it a visit. Gengar traveled through the shadows and arrived right in front of a massive sleeping pokemon, this pokemon wasid t on its stomach with its head resting over its arms. It seems to be having a very pleasant sleep, and it would be foolish to disturb it. This pokemon is about seven feet tall from head to legs and if its tail is taken into consideration, it is even longer. It has a massive head and a very muscr body that supports it. Its ws are massive, its fangs are long and sharp. Just its presence would be intimidating too many pokemons. But Gengar isn''t bothered, he has dealt with pokemon who are more vicious than this. Gengar then looked around but found nothing special about this den. The pokemon in front of him looks like a totem pokemon, but this is not a totem den at all. Gengar then returns to Julian to inform him of what he found. _________________ As Julian and the group are waiting, Gengar once againes out of the shadow, scaring a few of the surrounding people. He giggles at seeing this, then looks at Julian and tells him what he found. Hearing Gengar, Julian understood something. The roar from before must have been a warning call for any pokemons in the area from approaching its den as it was about to rest. But that is not his main concern. He learned from Gengar that the pokemon inside the den might be a totem pokemon, but the den it is resting in is not a totem den. Julian then wondered if this totem pokemon escaped from Team Cipher after fighting back but he quickly dismissed of the idea as totem pokemons never abandon their den unless it is about to get killed and Julian knows that Cipher is not trying to kill these pokemons. Julian ''Maybe I am looking too much into this. Maybe Cipher has nothing to do with it.'' Julian questioned himself, wondering if Cipher is really involved in this. Chapter 1308: Ex-Totem Pokemon Chapter 1308: Ex-Totem Pokemon Now that it is clear that there is no danger up front, Julian decided it is safe to continue exploring the volcanos. Julian "Ok, we can continue exploring but still, keep a close distance from each other and don''t wander off too far" Julian instructed and continued deeper into the volcano with the group of geologists. An hour passed, and nothing happened. Julian made sure that the group didn''t get close to the sleeping pokemon that Gengar found. Just as Julian was thinking everything was going to be fine, the ground beneath his feet starts to shake violently and theva that was deep in the center of the volcano starts to rise up. Seeing this, the group of geologists starts to panic, but it was only for a moment. The shaking stops and theva settles down again, but it continues to bubble from all the heat. "This is not normal" A professor speaks. Olivia "What is not normal?" "Whatever just happened, it should be happening. We just checked, and there was no earthquake. Something else made the whole volcano shake." The professor said. Hearing this, Julian frowned again. Julian ''Ya, fuck that, I knew something was wrong. I am going to find whoever is doing this and put a stop to it.'' Julian thought. Olivia "Is it safe to continue further?" She turned and asked Julian. Julian nodded his head. Julian "There should be no problem, we just need to avoid a few ces, unless troublees looking for us" Julian said and as soon as he did, he regretted it as he heard another roaring from behind. And this time, the roar didn''t stop after echoing once. The beast continued to roar and every second; the roar sounded nearer than before. Julian knew that the pokemon Gengar encountered was approaching them, and it didn''t take long. Julian "Olivia, take cover with others, something is approaching" Julian warned Olivia. Olivia didn''t question him and quickly ordered the others around to group up and hide behind arge boulder. The roar got louder and Julian finally saw the pokemon that Gengar had found inside the empty den. The pokemon stood over seven feet tall and stared down at Julian with anger shing in its eyes. Julian looked at the ck and red fire pokemon in front of him with a frown on his face. He could tell that this Incineroar didn''t like humans, as if it holds a massive grudge against him and his kind. Julian could feel the burning hatreding from Incineroar towards him. He doesn''t know what Cipher did to make it so angry, but he cannot think about it now. First; he needs to subdue this Incineroar. As he observed the massive totem pokemon in front of him, he realized that it doesn''t have the same aura as a normal totem pokemon, which led to Julianing to the conclusion that this Incineroar has lost a totem den to some other pokemon. The Incineroar once again roared loudly and bolted towards Julian with the intent to hurt him, Julian being nimble, agile, and a lot smaller than the Incineroar was able to dodge the me-covered ws. As soon as he was out of Incineroar''s vision, he pulled out a Pokeball and sent Aegish into battle. Aegish entered the battle in his sword form and stood right between Incineroar and Julian. Incineroar turned around and stared daggers at Aegish, trying to intimidate him, but Aegish didn''t budge an inch. These types of threats were of no use to him. Seeing that its intimidation didn''t work, the Incineroar charged at Aegish using me w. Aegish waited till the veryst moment and countered by using sh. The two moves collided, creating a powerful vortex of energy that dispelled all over the volcano, and the ground beneath them also caved in from the power generated by the sh. As the exchange came to an end, Incineroar was pushed back, and it flinched as it felt a stinging pain in the arm that it just used to attack Aegish while Aegish just floated in the air,pletely unharmed. Julian''s Aegish is levels above this Totem pokemon, there is no way it can overpower Aegish. If this was a normal exchange in the wild with a wild pokemon, the injured pokemon would have made a run for its life as it would have known it is not going to win, but this is different. Even though the Incineroar knew that it was outmatched, it didn''t show any sign of backing out, instead it stood its ground and roared at Aegish. In retaliation, Aegish shed the air right in front of him, creating a humming sound. Incineroar attacked again, but this time its attack is different. It tapped into the remaining Z-energy inside its body to charge up its attack and used Darkest Lariat, but since Z-energy powered this move up; it became apletely different move. A tform of energy suddenly appeared right under Aegish with his bursting with energy. Seeing this, Julian knew what this move was. It''s Malicious Moonsault, a Z-move Incineroar can use if it has ess to Incinium-Z, so Julian is surprised to see this Incineroar use it without the help of a Z-crystal. This made Julian wonder if z-crystal is really necessary to perform these Z-moves. As for matters regarding to the battle in front of him, it didn''t bother him as he knew Aegish can handle himself. Incineroar then started its sprint and jumped high up in the air andnded foot first on a corner pir of the energy tform to jump up high again and then do multiple moonsaults in the air as Z-energy pulsed around its massive body. To counter this, Aegish got ready as his de started to glow and pulsate with fighting energy. Aegish then moved his body and faced the iing Incineroar with his head first instead of his de. But if one looks carefully, one can see that Aegish is in the same position as a swordsman''s sword, which is about to be shed at the iing opponent, ready to cut one in half with a fast, swift strike. As Incineroar was about to make contact, Aegish moved, while the end of his head stayed in the same spot, his whole body moved with blinding speed, making a full 360-degree spin and returning to his original position. Aegish used Sacred Sword, whichpletely ignored the Z-energy around Incineroar and hit it right on its chest. The collision of the two moves created a massive shockwave that shook the entire volcano. The sound was deafening like thunder, and the very next second, the massive Incineroar fell to the ground,pletely out cold. There was no recovery from it. Chapter 1309: A Hollow Space Chapter 1309: A Hollow Space The massive Incineroar crashed hard against the ground, out cold. Aegish''s attack was not something even this overpowered Incineroar could survive. Seeing the Incineroar down, Julian approached it and started studying the pokemon in front of him. It looked like any normal Incineroar, but way bigger. Julian then noticed that the Z-energy inside this Incineroar has reduced significantly, weakening it, but its size is still intact. He then took out a great ball and tossed it on the unconscious Incineroar and captured it as he can''t let such a powerful pokemon that hates humans live here. He could slowly train Incineroar and make him adapt to humans once again. Seeing that Incineroar has been sessfully captured, the rest of the people hiding behind the massive boulder came out of their hiding and looked at Julian with awe. They saw everything that had just taken ce and they couldn''t help but be impressed. Even Olivia is left speechless. Even her best pokemons would have struggled against the Incineroar, but Julian''s Aegish took care of it with ease. Julian "Is everyone alright?" Julian asked as he looked at the group in front of him. They all nod their head and answer Julian. He then looks at Olivia and tells her that they can continue exploring the volcanos. The geologists get back to work. The female students that are in the group be more open with Julian as they saw him in action and want to get to know him even better, but they were scolded by their professor to get back to work. They could only sigh in displeasure and return to collecting samples. The group then continued further down the volcano. Once the group was closer to the boilingva, one of the professors dropped a strange-looking device down the moltenva to get a reading and map out the internal structure. Julian walks up to the professor, who is sitting in front of a monitor monitoring what was on its disy. Julian looked at the monitor but couldn''t understand what was happening except the 3d map the device made after it was dropped inside the volcano. Julian frowned as he felt something was off about this 3d map but he was no expert so he didn''t express his opinion yer and his doubt was soon proven to be true as the professor monitoring the readings finally spoke out. "Something is not right here" He announced loudly. Hearing him, the rest of the professors and students also grouped up to see what''s wrong on the monitor. Olivia "Professor, what''s wrong?" She asks. "There is a hollow space inside the volcano but that is physically not possible" He answers. Hearing this, Olivia is surprised as well. She doesn''t need an exnation to tell what''s wrong here. Having a hallow space under moltenva is physically not possible. Julian also thought the same, but he has something more going inside his head. Julian ''Maybe, it''s the totem den'' He thought. It could be the only possible exnation for this thing. This world follows physics but when pokemons get involved, it is thrown out of the park. "Everything we have collected till now has shown no sign of being the cause for triggering the eruption. So there is only one option left, and that is the hollow space under theva" The professor said. Olivia "But how do we get inside?" She asks. "We don''t know. Even our best equipment won''t be able to keep us alive under theva" The professor answered. Olivia didn''t know what to do. There is no way of getting under theva without getting killed. She needs to save the people of this ind and keep the ind safe, but without getting to the source, she doesn''t know how to do both. She then looks at Julian, hoping for an answer as within these few hours that she has been with him, she somehow hase to rely on him. Julian noticed Olivia''s stare toward him and looked back at her. Julian "I think you should start evacuating the people from the ind if something goes wrong. As for the volcano, I will look into it and see if I can do something about it" Olivia nods her head and decided to head back down into civilization and start evacuating the people. Julian, on the other hand, decided to stay back inside the volcano and make his way down to the moltenva. Olivia "What are you going to do here all alone?" She asks. Julian "I will continue to look around and see if there is any other way to go down there" Olivia "Then shouldn''t we follow you?" Julian "No, the path from here is very dangerous. I don''t think it is wise enough to risk all their lives, take them back and I will be out in no time after looking around" Julian exined. Olivia nods her head and takes the group of geologies with her out of the volcano and back to civilization. Julian watched as they all disappeared from his eyesight over the edge of the volcano''s mouth. Once all of them werepletely out, Julian looked back into the molten volcano and wondered how he should make his way down there. After thinking of multiple options, he finally came up with the best way to get there. Chapter 1310: Another One Chapter 1310: Another One Now decided on how to enter theva, Julian called Gengar. Gengar came out of his shadow and looked down into the moltenva and then looked back at Julian, wondering what Julian is nning. Julian "Go down inside and check what''s inside" Gengar nodded his head after receiving Julian''smand and turned his body translucent and phased into the moltenva. Since there is no light traveling inside theva, Gengar could only use his senses to find the hollow ce and enter it. Gengar used his senses and started feeling for a hallowed ce. At first, Gengar didn''t find anything but as he continued feeling his surrounding, he felt something foreign to this atmosphere. He felt a metal door made of tungsten. Gengar approached it and phased through it to find himself inside a cave that is way colder than the outside environment, which is literary moltenva. Gengar found weird gadgets there attached to these cave walls to cool them down for normal humans to be livable. Gengar then returned to the surface and joined Julian once again, telling him what he saw. It surprised Julian to learn that there is a tungsten door blocking a cave that leads to somewhere unknown. Julian already has an idea of where it leads and who is responsible for that tungsten door blocking off its path. Julian "Let''s go then" Julian says and suddenly the shadow under his feet starts to expand and Julian starts to sink into the ground as if he is stuck in quicksand. Once fully submerged, Gengar reces the shadow and he once again makes his way down the moltenva and phases through the door. Once past the door, Gengar creates a shadow portal again and Julianes out of it as if he was standing on an elevator tform. Julian looks around and finds that the cave has been dug and is not naturally formed, but the cave has been here for years, meaning that Cipher are not the ones who made this cave. Julian also felt the z-energy around him increase by 10 folds. This is the first time he felt so much z-energy and he has not even reached the center of the den. Julian ''Theva must be blocking off the z-energy from leaking out.'' Julian thought, as he couldn''t sense much z-energy around him when he was outside. Julian "Let''s go" Julian said and started walking up the cave as Gengar entered his shadow once again. The cave was longer than he expected and the deeper he went, the thicker the z-energy became. Julian also noticed that the devices attached to the cave walls also started to get frequent, and he knew he was close by. Another thing Julian noticed is that he hasn''t encountered any pokemon as he makes his way through this cave. This is a totem den, so there should be a lot of pokemons residing in this den, but he has not found a soul here. After a few minutes, the cave finally ended and Julian saw what he expected, but on a much grander scale. This totem den is bigger than the ones he has been in before and the z-energy here is tremendous, about 20 times more than a normal one. This discovery shocked Julian. As his eyes scan the whole den, he sees hundreds of cipher members. Once again, Julian was shocked by their numbers. Julian "How could so many of them be here?" Julian said to himself. He thought that cipher members on Al are under control but he didn''t expect 100s of them to already be here and busting in numbers. Julian "Motherfuckers must have been here for months" Julian said as his eyes falls on a particr piece of rock that is being stored in a massive box. The rock looks more like a crystal than a rock. A massive red crystal that should weigh about 4 to 5 tons, but Julian''s focus is on the aura it is radiating. Z-energy, and that too in abundance. Julian ''Is that a massive z-crystal?'' Julian asks himself as he looks at the massive red-colored crystal. This also told him why the totem Incineroar could cause a Z move without a z crystal. It must have observed a lot of z-energy from this z-crystal, making it bigger and stronger. Now the only question is how it escaped from 100s of cipher members. No matter how strong the totem pokemon gets, they will never be able to overpower 100s of humans controlling 100s of pokemon. Julian "Gengar" Julian called for his trusty Gengar again and Gengar emerged out of the shadow like the hero that is needed. Julian "Go and scout the whole den, see what you can find" Julian said as from his point of view he cannot see much other than the open space in front of his eyes. Gengar disappeared into the shadow and started going around the massive den and looking for anything that stands out and it didn''t take long for him to find it. Another massive pokemon is trapped inside a cage and this one is also a totem pokemon along with it are other pokemons of normal sizes trapped in cages fitting their size. Gengar felt like he discovered a gold mine and returned to Julian to tell him what he found. Chapter 1311: Confront The Ciphers Chapter 1311: Confront The Ciphers Gengar returned to Julian and told him what he had found. Julian didn''t expect there would be another totem pokemon trapped here. ''Meaning, the totem pokemon I captured must have lost its territory and was chased away by the one captured by the cipher. Too. Too bad it couldn''t rule its territory for much longer as it got captured, Julian thought. Now that everything is in ce, Julian has only one thing to do and that is to take care of all these insects that have gathered here. Julian now wondered how to deal with all these people in the most efficient way, but he also wanted to have some fun while doing it. As these thoughts passed through Julian''s head, he realized that he has started to be a little numb to fighting these corrupted and evil organizations; it doesn''t mean that he is tired of always doing the right thing, he just wants to make it a little more fun. He realized that he has be too strong and none of these organizations have anything to challenge him. He could take all of them out with just a single pokemon. He is confident to even take out a top-rate legendary pokemon with just one of his pokemon. But Julian is also not foolish enough to not use his strength to take care of these problems because he knows that if he hesitates and tries to make it difficult for himself, he will be putting the lives of ordinary people at risk. Julian then brought his focus back to the task at hand and looked at the hundreds of team cipher members who are walking around this totem cave without a care in the world. Little do they know that a typhoon is about toe and wreck all of them. Julian "Gengar, seal all the exits, make sure not even one of them makes out of here" Julian ordered. Gengar followed his instructions and spread his senses all over the totem den, covering every inch. There is not a single person who will be able to escape from its clutches. With their escape route cut off, Julian decided to finally make an entrance. He has been ambushing all these cipher members till now. It is time for them to know there is someone out here in Al that they should fear. Julian needs someone from here to inform the main headquarters that there is someone dangerous out here and the project will be put on hold. This will force the main members toe out and deal with Julian themselves. To catch the main culprits, Julian decided to be the bait himself. It won''t be long before a significant member of Cipher shows up to learn what is happening here in Al. Julian stood up straight and pulled out his ck mask once again. He had not used this mask for a while and now it is finally time for it to make its return. He put on the stealthy ck mask and jumped down into the pokemon den. His descent was quiet, but hisnding caught everyone''s attention. The members working closest to hisnding spot got startled and turned their heads to find the source of the sound and were shocked to see a person in a long ck coat with a hood over their head and a ck mask covering their face standing there looking at them. It only took all of them a few seconds to collect their thoughts and be alert, their body tensed up and they were ready to attack the mysterious figure if they try to attack. One of the leaders who was working close by quickly rushed in as he noticed the intruder, his eyes locked onto the ck-masked figure while his brain was running on overdrive. He wondered how this person got in here; they had blocked off every possible entrance to this totem den, so it should not be possible for a non-cipher member to find this totem den that is right under scorching hotva. He looked up at the spot where this intruder jumped in and wondered if the door they installed up there was broken through, but he quickly dismissed the thought, as their security system has alerted them if there was a breach from outside. The leader realized that he cannot kill this intruder because he needs to find where this person came from and seal it off. Though they have a huge force right here, it is not enough to fight off all the officials here in Al. They will be at a disadvantage. They cannot risk being found before transporting therge crystal filled with z-energy out of here. Bringing his focus back on the intruder, he took a step forward and confronted the masked man. "Who are you, and how did you get here?" He asked with a booming voice, trying to be as intimidating as possible. Julian looked at the person who spoke but didn''t respond, as it is of no use. He will ask him to surrender but he willugh at his face and order his men to attack him, which will lead to Julian destroying everyone. So ending it all without dragging this process, Julian took out two of his Pokeball and sent out his pokemons into the battlefield. Aegish and Charizard. Chapter 1312: Total Wipe Out Chapter 1312: Total Wipe Out As soon as Julian sent out his Aegish and Charizard, team Cipher panicked and quickly sent out their pokemons as well. Now that the whole den is filled with all kinds of pokemon ready to pounce any moment, the atmosphere got very tense, but neither side moved. It is a standstill. "You idiots, what are you doing/ we outnumber him, capture him!" The leader who spoke gave his order. Following his orders, all the pokemons that seem to number at least a hundred sent out their attacks at Charizard and Aegish. Both Aegish and Charizard then responded appropriately. They red up their aura and sted their own powerful moves at their opposition. Charizard puffed his chest and sted methrower nonstop at the iing attacks, every attack that it came in contact with exploded and the pokemons that decided to charge towards it trying to use a physical move got burnt with its power, taking out multiple pokemons with it. Aegish started spinning extremely fast and shot multiple Air sh at the iing attack and he isn''t showing any sign of stopping. Multiple des made of air cut through anything that they came in contact with and hit the pokemon that used it. Within seconds, there were more than 30 pokemons that were knocked out cold by Aegish, proving once again the monster that he is. With the rate Aegish is growing, he will soon outgrow even the pokemons Julian caught in Kanto and rival them in pure strength and power. None of Julian''s other pokemons could im to do so other than Aegish. Except for Crystal, well Crystal is a special case, so Julian never bothered topare it with his other pokemons. Speaking of Crystal, the little troublemaker woke up after hearing the chaos that is taking ce. It poked its little head out and saw Aegish and Charizard having all the fun. Crystal got excited as it wanted to y as well, so it shot out of Julian''s pocket and flew into the air while meowing excitedly. Julian saw this and couldn''t shake his head. He wanted to call back Crystal but seeing the little fellow was so excited; he decided to let it do its thing. Crystal went high up in the air and raised both its arms up in the air. Julian "Aegish, Charizard, back away" Julian warned his other pokemons so that they don''t get caught in the crossfire between Crystal and its helpless ymates. Dark thunderclouds suddenly appeared below the roof of the den, covering the lights that Cipher installed to light up the den. This caused the whole den to dim down and the only time they could clearly see anything clearly is when lightning crackled inside the thunderclouds. Every Cipher member lifted their head to look up at the thunderclouds and they couldn''t help but shudder in fear. Some of their legs went weak and some of them couldn''t even stand up as fear overwhelmed them. Then it happened. After a few more crackles of lighting, numerous thick bolts of lighting started to rain down on every pokemon that is still standing or at least trying to stand while shuddering in fear. Every bolt of lighting is as powerful as the move Thunder. It just got upgraded by Julian''s Electivire and was copied by his Crystal. The whole den shed white and even Julian couldn''t see anything, but a sh and thunderous ear-splitting sound followed right behind it when everything cleared up and Julian could see clearly. Everything in front of him was ruined. Every pokemon and its trainer were out cold, with their hairs burnt and their skin filled with multiple wounds. Julian could even smell the burnt scent lingering in the air. Crystal, who just ended everything in one go, looked down at its result with a smile but then was disappointed because none of them were standing, so it returned to Julian''s pocket and went to sleep. Julian just stood there with Aegish and Charizard, looking at the carnage Crystal left behind for them to deal with. Julian sighed and didn''t bother to speak with Crystal, as these bastards deserved it. Julian "Spread out and round up the ones who are hiding" He instructed Charizard and Aegish and made his way toward the giant crystal, radiating an immense amount of Z-energy. He then examined the massive crystal which is radiating a dim red glow and he could sense the fire energying from it. He could also tell that this crystal is the source of power for the totem Incineroar that he had caught outside. As he was studying the crystal, Charizard flew in with a cipher member in his hand and dropped him right in front of Julian. The man yelped in pain as he crashed hard against the hard ground and looked up at Julian with fear. He saw how this man''s pokemon wiped out their whole fleet within seconds, making the masked man look like a devil in his eyes. Julian "What''s your rank?" Julian asked. The man might be scared, but he is smart enough to know that if he doesn''t answer, he will be fucked. He valued his life more than anything. Fuck the organization. He wanted to live. "I am in charge h... here" He answered. Julian "Good, tell me everything you know or I am going to force it out of your head, and trust me, you will suffer excruciating pain" Julian said. The cipher man violently nodded his head, agreeing to answer everything that Julian wants to know. Chapter 1313: The Snitch Chapter 1313: The Snitch With his life hanging in the bnce, the cipher member in charge of this den started to speak. "We came to Al a few months ago when one of our scientists found a source of energy that could be useful for our leader''s cause, so we were sent here to investigate it." "We learned about special pokemons called totem pokemons here and wanted to learn the secret behind their exceptional growth and why are they so strong? Which soon led us to locate this totem den under the volcano." "But taking this base was not easy as a very powerful totem pokemon, an Incineroar was guarding it. We tried to ambush it and captured it, but we were too weak and had to retreat after suffering a devastating loss. Luckily for us, another pokemon used Incineroar''s weakened state and took over the den. Seeing our chance, we ambushed the new totem pokemon and sessfully captured it," "We then decided to make this out very first hideout in Al, and we brought in nearly a hundred members to increase our man force and speed up the construction of our base here," "We then discovered the z-crystal that was the source of energy detected by our scientist. We soon began mining it out of this den and it will soon be ready to get transferred from here to our headquarters back in Orre." "That''s it, all important things summarized." The man spoke while trying to remember if he missed anything. Julian now knew why he came across a Totem Incineroar and why it has such hatred towards humans, these idiots severely injured it which led to it losing its den, and without the crystal to recharge its strength, it couldn''t risk attacking to take over the den again. Julian "What does your leader n to do with this huge crystal?" Julian asked. "I don''t know, man. I am just a handyman. We know nothing about what happens between the leaders, we are only tasked with missions and we don''t have any authority to learn about anything that we are doing." The man answered. Julian "I hope you are not lying or hiding anything, or you will experience hell. Do you understand?" "I told you everything we have done since we got here man, trust me" The man said. Julian "Then howe you are not informed about all your missing teammates? Hasn''t anyone informed you about it?" Julian asked. He wondered why this man didn''t talk about all the people Julian is taking out on the inds. Do they not know about it? Cipher should have informed them about it. "I don''t know anything man, our group has no ess to any agents outside this den. Ourmunication directly happens with the leaders back in the headquarters. Even agentsing from the headquarters don''t know about this den, as the leaders want to keep everything a secret. That is why wepletely sealed off all the entrances to the outside world. Not a single person living here has seen the outside world for months," The man said. This really surprised Julian. He didn''t expect Cipher to take such deep precautions to keep information safe. If Julian had not followed Olivia here and found this hidden totem den, he would have never known about this. Cipher is really cautious with what they are doing as they know their methods are frowned upon by the people of the world. Even organizations like Team Rocket don''t take it as far as Cipher. Cipher is corrupting pokemons and if the outside world finds out what exactly they are doing, the bacsh they will face will wipe them out in an instant, so Julian knows why they are so cautious about everything. The world is still in dark regarding Cipher and Julian has taken it upon himself to get rid of them before they can corrupt more pokemons. Julian still has one more thing that he needs to find out and that is how to prevent the volcano from erupting, as it is the reason why he is here. Julian "What have you done with the volcano? Why is it showing signs of erupting?" "It''s because we removed the crystal from its ce. As soon as we did that, we found that the volcano might erupt as the crystal is acting as a suppressor." Julian "If you knew this then why take it out, don''t you know your actions will cause mass loss of life on Ak ind?" Julian questioned coldly as his eyes coldly locked onto the man in front of him. This man was willing to sacrifice the lives of thousands of people even though he knew the consequence of his actions. "It was not my decision, I promise. We informed the headquarters about this before hepletely took out the crystal, but they ordered us to continue with the task. They said a few thousand sacrifices is little to nothing for their grand cause, their lives are expendable, their cause is not," The man said. He is basically snitching on his boss and trying to distance himself from them, as he doesn''t care about his boss right now. The masked man in front of him is much scarier than any of his bosses. He could even feel the cold killing gaze of the masked man, even though he is wearing a mask. He doesn''t want to mess with a man like this at all. Julian "I see, then do something for me and I will not hurt you." "Yes, I will do anything you say, please don''t hurt me" The man begged. Chapter 1314: Inform The Headquarters Chapter 1314: Inform The Headquarters The man begged, hoping Julian will not hurt him if he did as Julian says, so he agreed to him. Julian "Good, contact your headquarters and tell them everything that happened here. Let them know that I aming for them and there is nothing they can do to stop me" Julian ordered. The man nodded his head aggressively and got to his feet before rushing towards one of the terminal and quickly contacted his headquarters. The sound of the machine''s beeps echoed in the air as the man nervously waited for the other side to pick up his call. He has to wait for a while minute before someone finally answered. "Yes, what''s going on?" A rough male voice came from the other side, he seems to be clearly annoyed by this phone call but still answered it as the person from the other side knows that it could be crucial information. "Admin, it''s over, everything is over" The man said. Hearing this, the person on the other end of the call paused for a few seconds. If one could see his face, there would be a deep frown stered on it. "What do you mean?" The person on the other end asked. "Admin, someone unknown breached into the hideout and wiped out all of us, we are done for" He answered with a tremble in his voice. A few more seconds of pause followed before the person on the other side spoke again. "If everyone was wiped out, how did you escape?" The person asked, he spected that this idiot is either lying or somehow escaped. "No sir, I didn''t escape, I am still here" He answered. "Then how are you fine? Didn''t this someone catch you?" The admin yelled through the phone angrily. "Boss, he did catch me. He is actually forcing me to make this call and inform you about it" He spoke hesitantly. "WHAT?" The admin eximed. "In fact, boss, he is right behind me, listening to us." He answered. "Is this some kind of sick joke? Who is this person? If I learn that you are messing with me, I will have your head!" The admin threatened. Julian "Just listen to him, idiot, he is speaking the truth" Julian voiced out. Hearing Julian''s voice, the admin on the other side paused once again and essed the situation. "Who are you? Do you know who you are messing with? You are making a big mistake!" The admin yelled from the other side but Julianpletely ignored him, instead; he let the idiot on the phone handle the rest. "Admin, he wanted to me call you and warn you that he ising and there is nothing Cipher can do to stop him, he promises to destroy Cipher" He spoke. The admin on the other side ispletely furious. "I don''t know who you are but you are messing with the wrong forces. You. You will soon regret your decision. Every person who is with you will also suffer the same fate as you. I promise I will skin you all alive for messing with Cipher. Are you that asshole who has been ambushing our men in Al? You motherfucker! You are going to regret ever messing with the Cipher!" The admin let out a bunch of threats, but they fell on deaf ears. Julian was not bothered even one bit. "Sir, there is no one else here but me and the attacker. He came alone..." He informed his boss as he heard his boss''s rant; he spected that his boss must have thought that the intruder came with a battalion of his own and he was right. The admin on the other side thought that the intruder brought his own little army to fight off the hundreds of people located in the den. Another pause followed, as the admin couldn''t believe what he was hearing. A whole battalion of men got wiped out by just a single intruder? "How is that possible?" The admin asked. "I don''t know, boss. His pokemons wiped us all out within seconds. There was not even a chance to retaliate. It was all over in a sh..." Julian "That''s enough, end the call. I think he has heard enough" Julian ordered. The man nodded his head and ended the call before the admin on the other side could even speak. Julian "You did good and as I promised, I won''t hurt you" Julian said. The man took a huge sigh of relief, relieved that he will be let go but he is wrong. Suddenly, he felt himself sinking into the ground. He panicked and looked down to see he was being sucked into his own shadow. He then looked back up at the masked man with horror. "YOU LIED!!!!" He yelled. Julian "No I didn''t, I said I won''t hurt you. I didn''t say anything about dragging you into hell." Julian stated coldly. The man couldn''t do anything but scream in terror as ck tentacles dragged him into his own shadow. Simr situations started to happen all over the den as the unconscious cipher members were dragged into Gengar''s shadow realm while their pokemons were sent back to their poke balls and put to the side. Julian will send these pokemons back to Kanto to be re-trained by his men and be used for good Chapter 1315: Fixing The Problem Chapter 1315: Fixing The Problem Julian looked at the massive pile of poke balls in front of him and wondered why these pokemons were not turned into shadow pokemons. Just from seeing Cipher using normal pokemons, Julian could conclude that shadowfication is not yet perfected and it should be extremely dangerous for normal pokemons. Even a mythical pokemon like Volcanion couldn''t handle it. He then ordered Gengar to store the poke balls away so he can send them back to Kantoter. Now that he has dealt with Cipher, he needs to handle the volcano erupting situation. He looked at the massive z crystal in front of him and felt a little conflicted. The power inside this Z-crystal is enough to power an entire ind, but Julian knew that he has to put it back in its ce so that it can prevent the volcano from erupting. Julian then called another one of his pokemon, one of his strongest pokemon, who cannot be matched by anyone in pure raw strength. Julian''s Pokeball opened and Snox crashed into the hard ground of the den, but he seems to bepletely unfazed by it and continued to snore in his deep slumber. Julian sighed. He wondered why all of his strongest pokemons have such over-the-edge characteristics. His Gengar is extremely mischievous, to the point where he is willing to put someone''s life in danger. His Snox sleeps a lot, and it ismon knowledge that all Snoxs sleep a lot, but his Snox is clearly built different from others. His Infernape is only focused on increasing his strength and doesn''t do anything but meditate to break through the boundaries and unlock new levels of power. He is a crazy training maniac. And then there is Crystal, the big daddy of all. Julian has at least control over his other pokemons, but Crystal is different. It is always out there causing trouble and doing mischief with its partner in crime, Gengar. Julian is just d that Crystal also sleeps a lot, but when it wakes up, it is always chaos in Julian''s camp. Julian pulled out a special snack he made just for Snox to wake him up from his slumber. As soon as this small piece of snack came out, Snox''s nonexistent nose twitched, as he could smell its favorite food. He got up on his feet while still sleeping and approached Julian for the snack, but Julian didn''t give him. Julian "Wake up Snox, I need you to do something for me" Julian said. A frown appeared on Snox''s sleeping face before he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Julian. As soon as he woke up and realized that his master is standing right in front of him, he got very happy and hugged Julian tightly while lifting him off the ground. If Julian didn''t have an indestructible body, his head would have popped off his shoulder. Julian "Enough hugs, you are going to break my back" Julian said. Snox finally let go of Julian as hended on the ground. Julian "See that huge rock, pick it up and follow me" Julian said. Snox nodded and with huge heavy strides, he approached the massive crystal and easily lifted it up as if it was just a single feather. The crystal looks very heavy and is, but it is much heavierpared to a rock simr to its size. Because of all the z-energypactly stored inside it, the crystal is very dense, and, from Julian''s estimation right now, it should weigh at least over 10 tonnes, but this weight is nothing to Snox. He could lift 100 tonnes and won''t break a sweat. Julian soon guided Snox towards the ce from where therge crystal was mined out of. Julian looked at the massive crater in front of him which is covered with crystals containing Z Energy and between the crystals, Julian''s eyes caught onto something special. He found two z-crystals each inside different fist-size transparent red crystals. One is a regr Firium-z, and the other is an Incinium-Z that he saw once with Kukui. He jumped in and quickly collected the two before ordering Snox to ce the massive crystal inside the pit. Snox nodded and dug his ws into the crystal and pulled it back like he is about to throw a ball and then threw it into the pit. The massive crystal zoomed through and crashed hard into the pit and lodged tightly into it. As soon as the crystal made contact with the pit, something changed. Julian could feel it. It was as if the connection of energy inside the den has been restored. Julian "I hope that solves the problem" Julian said to himself and gave Snox a ton of his favorite food for a job well done. He then returned Snox back to his Pokeball, where he can slumber in peace. He then made his way towards the other side of the den where all the trapped pokemons are being kept and right in the middle of this section is a giant cage housing a massive totem pokemon inside. This totem pokemon is a Magmortar, and it is also very close to the height of the Incineroar he caught, but just a little shorter, but it doesn''t matter. This pokemon was ambushed and locked inside this cage for months now and it is a lot weakerpared to a few months ago. Julian "Break the cages, free them all" Julian ordered. His pokemons got to work and quickly freed all the trapped pokemons. None of the trapped wild pokemons rushed in and attacked Julian, not because they were grateful to him for freeing them, but because they were wary of him. They saw what carnage the little pokemon sleeping inside the human''s pocket did. They are not confident enough to even take out the weaker pokemons of the human so they chose to flee as soon as they were freed. Chapter 1316: Changes In Readings Chapter 1316: Changes In Readings Thest pokemon to be freed was the totem Magmortar. Even though the Magmortar was freed, it didn''t run away like the other pokemons but is still wary about the human. The only reason it doesn''t want to run away is that this is its territory, and it had fought hard to get hold of it, It would rather risk its life and fight for this den than run away as being weak is not an option in the wild. Julian looked at the totem Magmortar andpared it to the Incineroar that he caught, and he didn''t find anything that would stand out in this Magmortarpared to the Incineroar. The only reason this Magmortar was able to take over the den was because of Cipher, but it was very unlucky because it injured itself while taking over and became an easy pick for Cipher. Since he has nothing to do here, Julian decided to leave and let Magmortar enjoy its new home. As for the Incineroar he caught, he decided to train it after giving it some thought. Julian "Let''s get out of here" Julian said and sent his Aegish and Charizard back to their Pokeball while he started to sink into his own shadow with the help of Gengar. The Magmortar watched this while being on full alert, and its muscles couldn''t be any tenser. When it looked at the shadow that is slowly eating away the human, it felt a cold frightening sensation run through its whole body. It was just d that it didn''t decide to fight the human and his pokemons. Julian''s shadowpletely engulfed him and started to move. It then zoomed out of the den towards the cave exit from where Julian came from. Gengar moved at lightning speed and phased through the hard tungsten door and through theva before arriving over theva and onto the solid ground once again. Julian''s head started to emerge out of the shadow, followed by his whole body. Julian took a deep breath as he felt the air inside this volcano is very harshpared to the filtered air inside the den that team Cipher had modified. He wasn''t going to waste any more of his time and decided to leave as he was done here. Now he just needs to know if whatever he did worked or not. First, he made his way up towards the mount of the volcano and looked down into theva once again. He realized that no one will know about the totem den hidden underneath theva if he didn''t reveal it to the outside world and he ns to not tell anyone. It is better to keep people out of there. A human''s greed is overwhelming and if anyone finds out about the massive boulder of crystal filled with endless energy, it will cause huge discourse. If Julian didn''t stumble into this den by mistake, that crystal would have been shipped away and used for who knows what. It would have also caused the suppressed volcano to erupt as well. He looked down towards the foot of the volcano to see if Olivia and others have reached the base or are still on their way down there. His eyes focused, and he spotted a group of men in white coats at the base of the volcano. Julian "It looks like they have already descended. I need to hurry and ask them to check the volcano''s reading once again" Julian said to himself and began his walk down the volcano. Sometimes he would just skip the etched path and jump off boulders and skip several levels of decline path he would have had to take if he followed the path. It only took him a few minutes, and he was already down at the base of the volcano. He saw the whole team waiting there along with Olivia, as they seem to be taking readings from one of their different devices. Olivia, being the one who is the most alert, noticed Julian''s arrival and approached him with hurried steps. Julian "Did something happen?" Julian asked as he saw her hurried expression and movements. Olivia "What did you do?" Julian "What?" Olivia "All the data that were predicting the volcanic eruption haspletely changed. It is now showing that it will not erupt" She said excitedly as she wondered what Julian did to fix the volcano problem. Julian "I see, so it worked then" Julian murmured, but Olivia stood close enough to hear it. Olivia "What worked?" She asked. Julian looked at Olivia and thought for a second. He wondered if he should tell her what happened inside the volcano and after some deliberate thinking; he decided to tell her. Because if future if something simr happens, she might know what one of the root causes could be. So he started telling her about the Cipher base and about the huge z-crystal that was slowing down the eruption of the volcano. Olivia was surprised to hear this, but she is smart enough to know that this information should not be spread around and decided to keep it for herself. Julian agreed with her decision. They then joined the team once again to see if the readings they are getting now are consistent or just false readings. Chapter 1317: Ein And Venus Chapter 1317: Ein And Venus The whole team waited for an hour and frequently checked the readings on their device to see if they are consistent or not. And they were relieved to find that the readings are consistent and have returned to normal. From the reading, there won''t be any other eruption for years. Hearing this, Olivia took a deep breath of relief and looked at Julian with a gaze filled with gratitude and happiness. Being a bubbly type of person, she couldn''t help but jump into Julian''s arms and tightly hug him. Julian could feel her soft breast pressing tightly against his body and if not for all these people around him, he might have taken advantage of Olivia right here and now, as he is not a person to shy away from showing his affection. Olivia finally let go of Julian and wasn''t bothered by her behavior at all as she didn''t think much of it, as for the young students who came here to study the volcano were looking at her with burning eyes. Julian "I will be leaving then, I need to continue my search for them" Julian said to Olivia. Olivia looked at him and nodded her head. Olivia "Don''t worry, if I find anything, I will immediately inform you" Olivia said. Julian nodded and called out his Charizard and flew away on his back while the rest of them watched him. Julian made some distance from Olivia''s house and then instructed his Charizard to fly down into the lush jungle as he wants to camp out tonight and let his pokemons run free for the night. ____________________ While Julian decided to set up a camp in the forest for the night. Far away from Al, in the Orre region, a certain someone with neck-length hair with a single strand of long hair up front wearing a funny, sharp-angled sses and a long white coat is walking down a long corridor which is made of reinforced steel. Anger could be seen written all over his face as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist and walked with huge angry strides. Some Cipher members who saw him in this state just decided to take a turn and avoided him as they knew that the man in pissed at something and they don''t want to be the victim of his rage. The man soon walks up to a massive door and imprints his biometrics to open the door, which opens to reveal an elevator. He then takes out his special ID and presses it against the scanner, which then opens a secretpartment, revealing a few more buttons to floors that are not essible to anyone else other than the admins and the big bosses. "Whoever that fucker is, I am going to kill him with my own hands" The man grumbles in anger as he presses one of the buttons on the elevator and the door soon closes. The elevator soon starts its descent, but it takes a while for him to reach his destination. The elevator door in front of him once again opens and a massive room filled with luxurious furniture andmodities that makes like a thousand percent better appears in front of him. If someone was here, they will confuse it as a seven-star hotel inside of a secret hideout for a criminal organization. His arrival catches the eye of one particrly beautiful woman who is already inside, sitting by a bar being served by a blind and dumb bartender. She sees his restless anger and couldn''t help but get curious about it. "What made you so angry, Ein?" She asks with a smile on her face. As she smiled, her radiant beauty blossomed even more. Too bad no one was here to witness it other than Ein. But Ein didn''t appreciate her beauty. He is a wicked man who is more interested in power than personal pleasure. Usually, he is never angry and has always kept his emotions in check, but that man''s action on the Al ind has brought his fury to an intense boil. Ein "I have no time for you, Venus. I need to talk to the boss" Ein said and went into another room. Venus, the woman, was surprised to see him act like this. She has interacted with Ein many times, and he has never ignored her questions like this. So she decides to follow him and find out what is really happening. She gracefully put his winess back on the bar counter and gracefully gets on her feet before gracefully following Ein into themunication room. As she walks into themunication room, she sees Ein on themunicator that was only made for one purpose and that is to speak from end to end, encrypted with a single line. No one will be able to intercept this call or listen to it through other means. Themunicator beeped for a few seconds before a click sounded and someone from the other side finally answered the call. "What is it?" The voice from the other side asked. Chapter 1318: Declare War Chapter 1318: Dere War "What is it?" A deep and powerful voice from the other side asked. Ein "Sir, we have a problem" Ein went straight to the point, as he knows the man on the other side doesn''t like to beat around the bushes. "What problem?" The man on the other side asks. Ein "Sir, someone infiltrated our main base in Al and captured it. We lost the cry... crystal" Ein said with hesitation. Venus, who is standing right behind him, is also surprised to hear this. Their main base in Al was hidden from the other members, and only the admins knew about it. The base also had more than a hundred members, so whoever captured it must be strong. Venus couldn''t help but frown upon hearing this. This is troublesome as Al ys a big part in Cipher''s sess. They cannot fail their mission in Al, or the underworld wille after them. The voice from the other side of the device stayed silent for a few seconds, making both Ein and Venus nervous about the silence. Ein "Sir?" Ein asked nervously. "Do you know who it is?" The voice asked. Ein sighed as he got a reply from the man. Ein would be shitting his pants if the man didn''t speak and ended the call. Ein "We don''t know, sir" Ein answered. "Which organization does he belongs to?" Ein "Sir, he is al... alone" Ein answered nervously. "What do you mean by alone?" The man on the other side asked and raised his tone. Ein "Sir the survivor said that the whole base was infiltrated and taken over by just one person..." Silence followed from the other side once again as Ein gave his answer. Hearing no reply from the other side, Ein started to get nervous and continue to speak. Ein "Sir, the man who infiltrated gave us a warning as well..." "What warning?" The man from the other side spoke again. Anger could clearly be heard in his voice. Ein trembled in fear, but he maintained hisposer. Ein "Sir, he warned me that he ising from Cipher and he is going to des... destroy us..." Ein said. Venus''s eyes went wide as she heard this. Someone tantly threatened to destroy Cipher all on his own. She doesn''t know if this person is either stupid or very confident in his ability. The more she thinks about it, the more she thinks that this person is an idiot. The man on the other side went silent again before suddenly bursting out inughter. "HAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... HAHA... HA" "Did he say he is going to destroy us?" The man asked, but this time he is growling in anger and Ein felt it in his whole body. His body shivered in fear as he heard this man growl in anger. "Ye... Yes sir..." "Good... Good... Let''s see what he can do... Prepare the force. Let''s take over Al and be done with it sooner and louder than hide around. Dere war" The man said and ended the call. The room fell silent again, and only the sound of some machine that is running in the background could be heard. Both Ein and Venus remained silent as they processed their order. Venus "What are we going to do?" She asks. Ein finally realized that she is in the room and turns around, he sees that Venus is a little pale from fear and he couldn''t me her for being in such a state as he is in no better shape as well. Ein "What can we do other than follow orders? We will be dead if we go against his orders" Ein said, and Venus nodded. Venus "So a war then? Who is going to lead it?" Venus asked and looked at Ein. Since he has been put in charge, he will be the one to assign themander for this war, and she doesn''t want to go to Al and face this unknown threat. If this person really wiped out their whole base with hundred people in it, she wants no part in it. Ein "Let''s send Miror B. He and his personal goons can handle it" Venus sighed in relief as she heard this. She couldn''t be any more grateful to Ein for choosing Miror B for this war. Venus "How many are you going to send?" Ein "A two thousand should be enough, right? Al is not that big of a region and they don''t have a lot of force to fight back so we can easily capture all the inds before reinforcements arrive. Once Al is under our control, we should be able to fight off the resistance and back up with our technology" Venus "How long will it take to prepare the army?" She asks. Ein "At the earliest, it will take more than a month. The numbers can be filled, but arranging the equipment will be hard" Venus "I will leave it to you then" Venus said and left as she doesn''t want to deal with this at all. She has a bad feeling about this and she doesn''t want to be involved with this situation in any way, shape, or form. Ein just res coldly at Venus. He can''t believe he is working with idiots. One is a dancing monkey, and the other is a poser who wants to be seen as a star. Ein "Pathetic" He voiced and got to work. Chapter 1319: Are You Dancing? Chapter 1319: Are You Dancing? Ein is not happy with his current situation, as he has been put in charge to assemble an army and take over Al. He knows how much of a headache this is and he also needs to convince Miror. B to head this war. He quickly exits the room and heads back to his office, situated on the main floor of the establishment. He is still angry and the members of Cipher who crossed his path as he was on his way to the office noticed it and did a u-turn so that they won''t have to face his wrath for no reason. Ein, being smart and vignt, noticed this and ignored them, but he still kept a mental note of all those faces he saw, promising himself that he will deal with themter for annoying him. Once he was inside his office, he took out his phone and called Miror. B, the third admin working under their boss. His phone continues to beep, but the receiver doesn''t pick it up at all. This frustrates Ein, but he calls again. Once again, his call is ignored. Ein almost pops a vein from anger because of this. He calls again and his phone continues to beep for a whole minute before the receiver finally picks it up. Ein "You idiot, how many times have I told you to pick up my call as soon as possible? Stop ignoring it!" Ein shouts in anger as he hears the sound of musicing from the other side, this pisses him off even more. Ein "Don''t tell me. You prioritized your dancing over my phone call?" Ein asked, while growling in anger. Miror. B "Chill out Nerd, it''s not like the world ising to an end if I don''t answer your phone" Miror. B answeredckluster. Ein couldn''t take his nonchnt attitude anymore. The organization is in big trouble and this idiot is going around dancing like an idiot. Ein "You fucking idiot, get back to the headquarters immediately, there is a massive problem, and even the boss is involved!" Ein shouted over the phone. Hearing this, Miror. B didn''t answer but he could tell that this phone call is serious so he didn''t bother Ein further. Miror. B "Fine, Fine, I will be there, no need to shout so loud, you will damage my ears" Miror. B said and ended the call. Ein sighed and put his phone away and sat down on his chair. He rested his elbows on his desk and sp his hands together, cing them right under his nose. He began to think about how to deal with the current situation. He didn''t agree with the boss''s decision to take over Alpletely, but even he couldn''t find any better solution. Ein sighed once again, as he knew that this is the only possible way right now. The x-factor that showed up in Alpletely destroyed their n. Now the only way to seed is by taking over Al and quickly extracting all its valuable resources to help the organization''s ns. He then called his assistant and ordered him to start preparing for the war and inform everyone in the organization about it. _____________________ Back in Al, Julian has no idea that his actions have made Cipher take drastic measures. If Julian knew what Cipher is nning right now, he wouldugh out loud. Cipher have no clue about what is going to happen to them. It will not be a war that will lead to a hostile takeover but a one-sided massacre by Julian and his pokemons. It''s nighttime and the forest of Ak is illuminated by the full moon high up in the sky. The stars are also very clear as there are no clouds hiding them. Julian isying on the open grass and looking at the sky and couldn''t help but admire the beautiful scene in front of him. As more days pass, Julian continues to forget about his past life. His old personality has almostpletely disappeared as this new body continues to shape the new him. If not for all his life experience of his previous life, he would be moving around like a reckless teenager in this godly body. It is moments like these, looking at the stars and just living in the moment that reminds him of his previous life. If not for it, the thought would have never crossed his mind. Julian ''I don''t even miss my past life anymore. That life doesn''t even feel like it belonged to me. It is as if someone else lived it and I just watched it through a screen'' Julian thought as he reflected on his past life. The more time he spent in this world, the more he felt he belonged here than felt like an outsider. That is how he felt when he first came here, but now it''s different. He is happy and more at peace. Taking his attention away from the stars, he looks at his pokemons who are running around ying. Some of his young pokemons even got bold enough to head deep into the forest but, of course, under the supervision of Gengar, as Julian won''t let his untrained pokemon roam inside a dangerous forest filled with predatory pokemons. This is still the wild and some pokemons eat each other out here. Chapter 1320: Training Pokemons? Naa, Creating Gods Chapter 1320: Training Pokemons? Naa, Creating Gods The night in the jungle might seem quiet, but it is filled with noises of incest making a lot of notice. If one is not ustomed to sleeping out in the jungle, one will struggle to get some sleep with all the noise that surrounds the night. Julian closed his eyes and drifted into sleep right out in the open, without a care in the world. As for his pokemons, they are going on their own adventure. _____________________ Early dawn and the very first rays of sunlight hit Julian''s face waking him up from his sleep. As he opens his eyes he sees some of his pokemon sleeping around him. He also notices the presence of some wild pokemons around him, who are staring at him with curious gazes. As dawn breaks, the nocturnal pokemons go to sleep and the diurnal pokemons get up and get ready for their day. These diurnal pokemons like to sleep deep inside their dwellings to hide from the nocturnal predators and will always be cautious when they get up at dawn and check their surroundings for any lingering danger. Julian is just one of those dangers that these pokemons are wary of. They have never seen Julian before, so they have every right to be cautious about him and keep their distance from him. He is not the only one as some of the pokemons around Julian are also very intimidating for these forest pokemons who don''t grow as strong as the ones captured, raised, and trained by pokemon trainers. Noticing the sky slowly turning orange, he knew it was time to get up. Though he slept on the open grass, he didn''t feel any kind of strain on his body because of its specialty, but it was by no meansfortable. The only thing good about it was how cold it was, simr to the feeling of cing your head on the cold side of the pillow, but here it''s your whole body. He sat up and stretched his arms making his pokemons also wake up as they all sleep very light, almost all of Julian''s pokemon sleep light because they all have an immense sense of survival built into them, passed down from generation to generation through DNA. Though they don''t need to be so vignt as they are very strong, they still sleep light. Except for Snox, he doesn''t care about anything. All of Julian''s pokemons woke up one after another after noticing him wake up as well. Julian "Ok, all of you, begin warming up, then we will train for the next two hours, then you all can have your breakfast" Julian instructed. Only his old pokemons like Infernape, Gengar, and Snox didn''t bother to physically train as at their power level, no matter how much physical strain Julian puts on them through exercise, they aren''t affected one bit, the only way for them to train is to continue understanding their own powers and increasing their efficiency in using them. The more Julian hung out with his old pokemons, the more he realized just how much potential pokemons have. Pokemons have their own source of energy, they create it all inside their body, of course, they can get a massive boost in power from an external source such as mega stones and z-crystal but at the end of the day, their main arsenal is still their own energy. Julian has realized that a growth of a pokemon can be limitless and if they continue growing, they can be gods of their realm. At first, Julian was skeptical about it, but when his Infernape broke through his limits and gained more control over his energy, element, and aura, Julian thought him to be special, as Infernape is also the creation of God. He was not born from an egg like his other pokemons. But then, his other pokemons also started to break through their limit, Snox, Gengar, Electivire, Gyarados, Heatran, Pidgeot, Kabutops, and many others. They all broke through their limiters and gained control over their domain, something which Julian didn''t expect. He also realized that his pokemons who broke through their limits also gained a lot of life force, making them age even slower. That is how Julian came to know about pokemons limitless potential to grow and be gods in their own rights. His very first pokemons can even be gods in another world without any difficulty. His Infernape hasplete control over his mes and he can channel the power of the whole universe in them, and the ability to manipte Omniforce makes him one of the strongest creatures in existence and Julian''s strongest pokemon. Julian knows nothing about Snox''s domain as he has never seen Snox use it, but he is 100 percent sure that Snox also has his own domain that he hasplete control over. From the little clues and observations that Julian has done, he suspects that Snox has control over the domain of dreams, but that is just his spection. And if it is true, Julian will not be shocked as Snox is his second strongest pokemon. His Gengar is the master of shadows and has gainedplete control over this shadow domain. Inside his domain, he is literally invincible as he can almost do anything inside it, except create life. If he is able to achieve such a level, he will be a god. His Electivire hasplete control of an electric current down to its electrons and ions. He can fry a being''s neuron system from the inside if he wanted to. His Gyarados haveplete control over water, and just like Electivire, he can control right down to their atoms, meaning he can separate the oxygen and hydrogen atoms from water and control them separately. All his pokemons who have broken their limiter have such powers. The more Julian thinks about it, the more he realizes that he is not just training pokemons, he is creating gods. Chapter 1321: Grubbin Vs Wimpod (1) Chapter 1321: Grubbin Vs Wimpod (1) Julian watches as Grubbin and Wimpod do their daily morning routine. Both of them are close to evolving, and Julian is happy to see this. Julian has been a littlex training his pokemons here in Alpared to his journeys in other regions, as he has no reason to boost their training speed. He is here in Al just the enjoy the environment and find unique pokemons that can be found here. His other new pokemons, Marshadow, ispletely under the tutge of Gengar while Julian watches over his training. Marshadow has a lot of potential and Julian believes he will be one of Julian''s main pokemons. He also has another pokemon that he will add to his team, which he has already captured, but Julian doesn''t know how Incineroar, the totem pokemon that he captured, will react to his new situation. Julian will have to confront it soon and make it understand that Julian is the one in charge and also calm it down. Julian can tell that the monster doesn''t like humans, so he will have to teach Incineroar to be calm around them. He doesn''t need Incineroar to like humans. He doesn''t need Incineroar to like humans. But Julian doesn''t want to bother with Incineroar right now as he has other things to do, mainly focusing on his pokemons. He looks at his Wimpod and Grubbin as they are about to finish their warmup. Both of these pokemons are close to evolving, and from Julian''s guess, Grubbin will be the first one to evolve as the level cap for Grubbin is not that high. Julian "Wimpod, Grubbin,e here." Julian calls them as they finish their warm-up, hearing his call. Both little ones rush towards him wondering what Julian has nned for them today. Both of them are very excited about training because both of them can see the huge leaps in their strength and they want to continue growing stronger, and the best way to do that is to listen to Julian. Julian "Today, both of you will not be training but battling each other. You both will battle each other on your own and won''t be receiving any help or instructions from me or anyone else. It will all depend on you. Let''s see how much you both have improved" Julian says. The two little ones nod their heads and take their position on the empty grass field a few meters away from each other. This is, of course, noticed by Julian''s other pokemons, so they quickly surround the two little ones as they are also interested to see how this battle will progress. Right now, both Grubbin and Wimpod have equal strength and experience. To win, they will have to rely on their battle IQ and get one over the other to snatch the victory, but it won''t be easy. Marshadow, one of Julian''s newest addition to the team, is also very curious about this and couldn''t hide his excitement. Seeing that both of them have taken their positions, Julian steps up right between them and gives them the signal to start the battle. Julian "Begin!" As soon as Julian gives the signal, Grubbin makes his move and dives into the ground by using Dig and disappears from everyone''s sight. Julian''s more experienced pokemons could clearly feel Grubbin''s position, but his opponent, Wimpod, has no idea from where Grubbin is going to attack. So Wimpod decided to do something to render Grubbin''s offense useless. With his speed and nimbleness, Wimpod started to zoom around on the battlefield constantly making him an almost impossible target to hit and it seems to have worked. Grubbing, who is under the ground was confused by Wimpod''s movement on the surface and couldn''t lock on to him, but he was not going to give up. He focused and used all his senses to read and predict Wimpod''s movement above the surface and soon he felt he has Wimpod so he rushed out to deliver the lethal hit. Above the surface, Wimpod kept zooming around, but he was doing something else other than just mindlessly running. He was keeping track of the surface he was stepping his foot on. He knows that it will be hard to get rid of Grubbin when he is underground, so the only way Wimpod can beat him is by outspeeding him, and that is what Wimpod ns to do. As he continues to zoom, he suddenly feels the ground underneath him start to bulge and he knew it was time for him to dip, so he did. He did a sharp right and avoided Grubbin''s vicious mandibles as he shot out of the ground, but that is not all. This is Wimpod''s chance, so he quickly turned around and locked onto Grubbin, who is still in the air, and attacks. Wimpod used Aqua Jet and shoots at the free-falling Grubbin and Grubbin can''t do anything as he has no aerial mobility. Wimpod smashes into Grubbin and sends him rolling onto the ground. One thing all of Julian''s pokemons learn at the very start of their training is to use their momentum and not let the opponent recover unless there is a trap set in motion. With no traps set in motion by Wimpod, he continues to attack. He uses Aqua Jet once again and charges at the rolling Grubbin and hits him again, sending him rolling even further. One thing about Wimpod is that his attacks are not really that strong. He has speed, but his attacks have no severe impact on them, so he has to rely on his speed to continuously barrage his opponents with his moves. So he goes after Grubbin once again with another Aqua Jet, but this time, Grubbin is ready. As he rolls, he uses his legs and quickly grabs onto the ground, and points his mandibles wide open towards the iing Wimpod. There is no backing down for Wimpod right now as he is charging full speed at Grubbin, if he tries to slow down, he will kill all his moment and will serve himself defenseless in front of Grubbin so he decided to go all in on it. As Wimpod is just centimeters away from smashing into Grubbin''s head, Grubbin ms his mandibles like a trap-jaw by using Vice Grip. The power behind Grubbin''s mandible instantly kills all of Wimpod''s momentum and his veil of water from the Aqua Jet falls off, leaving a struggling Wimpod in Grubbin''s dangerous mandible. Grubbin puts more pressure on his mandible and starts suffocating Wimpod and Wimpod struggles. If Wimpod doesn''t find a way to escape from Grubbin''s mandible, it will all be over. Wimpod is not going to concede defeat so easily, so he fights back, ignoring the pain he is suffering right now. Just like his situation right now, struggling to get out of Grubbin''s Jaw, Wimpod uses Struggle Bug and releases a wave of energy from his body, which assaults Grubbin, forcing him to release his hold. The energy waves cause an explosion because of how close the user and the receiver were, causing both of them to roll back a few meters away from each other. Chapter 1322: Grubbin Vs Wimpod (2) Chapter 1322: Grubbin Vs Wimpod (2) The explosion sent the two little ones rolling further away from each other while both of them suffered damage. The two consecutive Aqua Jets and a Struggle Bug from Wimpod managed to damage Grubbin and lot and the same could be said for Wimpod, as the Vice Grip almost rendered him unconscious and he also suffered from the bacsh of the explosion. Both pokemons struggled a little and soon got back to their feet. This was nothingpared to the exhaustion they go through in their daily training with Julian and his other pokemons. This battle is just starting, and the burning desire to win over the other rose inside them. These two are Julian''s weakest pokemons at the moment, and they felt like they need to prove something. They don''t want to be the weakest forever. They want to grow up and be as strong as Julian''s other pokemons. Not willing to give up, both of them decided to push themselves to their limit. Wimpod used his recently learned move, Scald. This is a move Julian favors a lot and teaches to all his water-type pokemons because of its power and the added burning effect. Grubbin, on the other hand, uses an equally devastating move, the Thunderbolt. Both of them put all of their energy into their moves and shoot at each other. The Thunderbolt and the Scald tear through the air and sh against each other, causing powerful shockwaves to generate from the impact. The grass beneath the impact spot almost gets ripped out but barely hangs on creating a spiral pattern in the middle. Both of them are giving it their all but the oue of the battle seems to be getting clearer as Grubbin is getting exhausted by using Thunderbolt. As Grubbin has not yet evolved and unlocked its electric typing, using an electric type move is more exhaustingpared to Wimpod using Scald, who already has his water typing. The Scald soon starts to overpower the Thunderbolt, and the results seem to be clearer than ever, but Grubbin is showing no sign of backing down. He releases his war cry and tries to exert more energy into his Thunderbolt, but instead of powering the Thunderbolt, the gene structure inside its DNA changes, and Grubbin starts to glow brighter. He is finally evolving, seeing that Grubbin is evolving. The rest of Julian''s pokemon get excited. Grubbin''s body starts to get bigger under the glow, his oval-shaped body started to be more rectangr and his long strong mandibles begin to shrink. The glow soon fades away, and the former Grubbin now reveals himself to Julian and his pokemon. Now he is a shiny red Charjabug. As soon as Charjabug evolves, the Thunderbolt that he is releasing doubles in both size and strength and easily pushes off the Scald and was about to hit Wimpod when Gengar steps in and deflects the attack saving Wimpod from getting injured. Julian "Charjabug wins" Julian dered the winner. Hearing this Charjabug excitedly jumps around while Wimpod gets disappointed by his loss. Julian approaches Wimpod and rubs his scale. Julian "You did well and were about to win. Don''t let this loss discourage you. Losing is also part of the journey to grow stronger" Julian consoles the little one and gives him a small treat to cheer him up. He then approaches Charjabug with a smile. Julian "You did it, buddy. Now one more step and you will reach greater heights than ever" Julian praises Charjabug and also gives him a treat to celebrate his win. Julian "Ok now, let''s get back to training and after an hour, we will eat" Julian instructs and gets his pokemons back on the grind. Marshadow, who just witnessed the intense battle between Julian''s two pokemon, also feels a burning desire to have a battle like that with Julian''s other pokemons, so he also gives it his call to train and improve his knowledge on battles. He is good at using his powers, so now he needs to learn how to effectively use them in battles and other scenarios. Julian watches as his pokemons restart their training and joins in to instruct them. After an hour, his pokemons are tried from the hell they have been put through, but the reward at the end is worth it all. Julian soon serves them their favorite food, all individually made to suit each one of them. They all munch down on it with intense furiosity, filling up their stomach in an instant. After his pokemons were done with their food, he sent all of them back to their Pokeball except Charizard and resumed his journey. He got on top of Charizard and flew out of the forest as the wild pokemons eased up as they saw him leave. Julian headed towards the town as he wants to give Officer Jenny and visit once again to update her on the situation and warn her about the potential dangers of Cipher. Chapter 1323: Visiting Officer Jenny Once Again Chapter 1323: Visiting Officer Jenny Once Again The flight to the town was short and Charizard flew fast. Julian instructed Charizard tond at the entrance of the town, as Julian wants to continue on foot. Oncended, Julian sent Charizard back to his Pokeball and continued on foot into the town. The two seem to be as busy as any other day. People are walking around happily with their pokemons, while vendors and shopkeepers are selling their goods without any worry. Little do they know that they all just dodged a massive catastrophe. If not for Julian saving the day, these people would have lost everything. Usually, the people of the towns on Ak ind are warned months before the predicted volcanic eruption day so they can be prepared for it. During that time, they will transport their goods and other important items out of Ak to keep them sage. But this time, the volcano was about to erupt within a few days, and there wouldn''t have been enough time for any of them to save their belongings and they would have had to abandon it all. On top of that, the people in charge were still not sure if the volcano would have erupted or not. That is why Olivia gathered a team to check the volcano. If it was about to erupt, she would have evacuated the ind with urgency, and people would be forced to do so by abandoning everything behind to save their lives. Luckily nothing happened and these people will remain ignorant about the danger that they just dodged because of Julian''s help. Julian smiled seeing the smile on these people''s faces. He liked behind helpful as it gave him a sense of satisfaction knowing that he has helped so many people through his actions. Does he have a heroplex? maybe, but it is still better than not helping anyone and letting these innocent people suffer. If Julian has a heroplex, then it is good because he has the power to back it up and keep people safe around him. On his way to the police station, he stopped by a few stores to buy some ingredients for him to prepare food for his pokemons. With no storage of money, he can buy these ingredients in bulk. He is happy and the person selling all these ingredients is happy. After shopping, Julian finally arrived in front of the police station. Just like hisst visit, the station seems empty, as all the officers are out on petrol. Julian enters the station and sees the same young, inexperienced Jenny behind the reception desk fiddling with her phone. Julian coughs and grabs her attention. The young Jennyzily lifts her head to see who it is and quickly straightens herself up as she recognizes Julian. A smile instantly blooms on her face as she wees him. Young Jenny "Wee Mr. Julian, what can I do for you?" Young Jenny asks excitedly, almost fangirling in front of him, she still can''t believe that the Julian is standing in front of her. Julian smiles back at her and speaks. Julian "I am here to speak to Officer Jenny. Is she here?" He asks. Young Jenny is a little disappointed that Julian is here to only talk with her older cousin, but she still needs to do her job. Young Jenny "Yes, she is inside. You should go in. I will inform her" Young Jenny says and points at Officer Jenny''s office. Julian nods and walks towards Officer Jenny''s office. Young Jenny then picks up the phone in front of her and connects with Officer Jenny, who is sitting in her office with a frown on her face as she looks at the report in front of her. Officer Jenny picks up the phone and hears her little cousin speak. Young Jenny "Cousin, Mr. Julian is here, I sent him to your office, hope you aren''t doing anything naughty inside, hehehe" Young Jenny teases her cousins as she has caught her cousin doing a few naughty things inside her office. The only reason she caught her cousins in such acts is that she is the only one who would dare to enter her room without knocking. Officer Jenny, who hears this, doesn''t even bother to speak to her annoying cousin and ms the phone down and takes out her little pocket mirror to check her face, and quickly fixes her hair strands by tucking them behind her ears. She sees that her makeup is fading away a little, but before she could even fix it, the door of her office opened and Julian walked in. Jenny instantly puts away her mirror and gets on her feet as Julian enters and smiles at him. Jenny "Mr. Julian, wee. What brings you here today?" She asks and sits down again. Deep inside, she feels embarrassed about her actions. She doesn''t understand why she just stood up as if caught in an act. Julian noticed this, but decided to ignore Jenny and save her dignity. He then approached the chair and sat down and began to speak. Julian "I just wanted to update you on things I encountered during my stay here, and of course, find out if you guys found anything" Julian said. Jenny got serious again as this is a matter regarding the safety of Ak and the whole of Al inds. Chapter 1324: Chaos In Alola Chapter 1324: Chaos In Al Jenny "Look at this" Jenny said and handed over the report she was just looking at. Julian took the report and saw that the people of Ak ind wereining about the increasing harassment from the local goons named the Team Skull. This would have not bothered Julian if not for the timing. Team skull started wrecking shops and stalls of shop owners and street vendors and was harassing citizens on the other side of the town from early this morning, so this can''t be just a simple coincidence. Julian just put a stop to a massive operation for Cipher. And now the local gang in Al is acting up? This was not just a coincidence and Team Skull had no reason to be so aggressive with their actions. But to confirm his suspension, he wanted to check something first. He handed the report back to Jenny and spoke to her. Julian "Can you contact the other police stations around the whole of Al to see if this is happening on other inds as well?" Julian requested. Jenny nodded her head as she could tell what Julian is thinking. She picked up her phone and started dialing all the other stations around Al to check if Team Skull is running amok there as well and soon she got the same answer from every station. The answer was yes. Team Skull has be increasingly violent following this morning and because of this, all the officials in Al are busy dealing with them. Jenny puts the phone down and looks at Julian. Jenny "It''s the same everywhere. What is happening?" Hearing this Julian confirmed his suspicion. Cipher is behind this and he can tell this is just a distraction as they are nning something big. Julian then began to tell Jenny about some key information that is necessary for her to know and pass it on to her fellow officers so they have a clear understanding of their situation. Julian then gets up and decides to take care of this Team Skull problem. Jenny "Where are you going?" She asks. Julian "I need to find out why they are doing this, so I am going on a hunt for their leader" Julian says and walks out of Jenny''s office in a hurry. Jenny doesn''t say anything. She could feel that Julian is in a hurry so she doesn''t bother to stop him. Instead, she gets to work as well. She quickly contacts the other Jennys and informs them about what happened in Al and the reason behind Team Skull acting up. The reason Julian told them about the happenings inside the volcano is that this is their ind and no one is more willing to protect their home than its own residence. Julian might keep themon people out of this but he is willing to bring in the officials and powers of Al ind to keep these inds safe as they are the only ones who will act with the ind''s interest in their mind. Of course, Julian didn''t leak all the important information like the massive z crystal inside the volcano and how it is the thing keeping the whole of Ak ind safe. It is best for only Julian and Olivia to know about this, and maybe the future Kahuna of Ak ind, who Olivia will pass down the knowledge to. Young Jenny, who is back to fiddling with her phone, notices Julian walk out of Officer Jenny''s room and was about to greet him again but before she could even speak, Julian just rushed out, leaving her wondering why Julian is in such a hurry. Julian got out of the station and immediately called out Charizard from his Pokeball, got on his back, and flew into the sky. As Julian flew high in the sky, his eyes were focused on the ground, trying to find some Team Skull goons who were messing around. Charizard flew around the Ak ind fast and soon Julian found a group of Team Skull goons harassing the people on the street from another town. Julian''s eyes turned cold as he saw some goons ganging up and kicking an innocent man right in the middle of the street, while other goons blocked off the police and kept them busy by battling them, preventing them from saving the innocent man. Julian "Charizard, down" Julian ordered. Charizard felt Julian''s anger and dove towards the crowded street at full speed. *BOOM* The sound of Charizardnding hard on the road caught everyone by surprise, scaring everyone in the vicinity. Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and turned their head and looked at the rising smoke, wondering what it was. As the smoke settled down, everyone could see a massive shiny Charizard, and right next to the massive pokemon is a young man in ck. Team Skull goons were the first ones to react. Goon 1 "Who the fuck are you?" Goon 2 "Ya, don''t you see what''s going on here? Are you trying to stop us from doing our work?" Goon 3" Do you even know who you are messing with? See this idiot? Do you want to get beaten up like him?" The goons said while pointing at the badly beaten up man who isying on the street with bruises all over his body. Julian didn''t speak and just looked at the man who has been badly beaten up. Julian felt angry, as this man didn''t deserve this. He felt pity for this man and burning anger rose in his heart. He decided to take down this local gang and put an end to them once and for all. At first, he wasn''t bothered by their existence much as they were just some local goons, but now they have taken it too far. They almost beat up a man to death for no reason. This is uneptable. Chapter 1325: Going After The Boss Chapter 1325: Going After The Boss Seeing Julian not even speak a word to them, the Team Skull goons got frustrated and some of them even had the bold thought that Julian was just intimidated by them, which ispletely and utterly their delusion working full time. "Looks like Meowth got his tongue. Let''s beat him up and put on an example to these people, showing them what happens when they decide to interfere in our business." The leader of this group finally speaks and approaches Julian with his pokemon. He gets even bolder as he sees that Julian is just standing there doing nothing, thinking that he has just frozen in fear, making him an easy target to beat up. The goon leader gets right up to Julian''s face with his disgusting look and stares into Julian''s eyes while trying to be as intimidating as possible. As he finally stares into Julian''s eyes, he feels an unknown fear creep up behind him. His whole body starts to shake uncontrobly and his heart rate spikes in an instant. He knows this feeling; it is the feeling of overwhelming dread, the same feeling that one experiences when one is against something very dangerous. But this idiot is still not able to process the danger even though his body is reacting to it. In this state, he has only two options: fight or flight, and knowing that he has a whole team behind him, he makes the most "logical" decision, and that is to fight. Goon Leader "You bastard! What have you done to me? I am going to fuck you up!" The goon leader yells and tries to punch Julian, but in Julian''s eyes, his actions are just too slow and predictable. He saw this punching from a mile away. It is a disgrace to call this a sucker punch. Julian just grabs the idiot''s fist with his palm and stops his punch. He then twists his hand, causing the goon leader''s arm to snap and bringing the idiot to his knee. The goon leader lets out a shilling cry of pain as she feels his elbow snap out of ce, his eyes tear up and bepletely red. Seeing its owner getting his arm twisted by Julian, his pokemon, Szzle rushed at Julian trying to attack him, but it was put into its ce by Julian''s Charizard in an instant. As soon as Szzle made its move, Charizard saw iting and raised his w and brought it straight down on Szzle''s head using Dragon w and buried its head right into the solid ground, knocking it out cold. Seeing this whole act taking ce, the other goons instantly became alert and all of them sprung into action and tried to attack Julian. Julian "Charizard, take care of them" Julian gave his order. Now with Julian''s permission, Charizard pped his wings and rose up in the sky, puffed his chest, and sted a powerful methrower at all the Team Skull goons and their pokemons and wiped them all out with a single move. Witnessing this, the people around Julian and Charizard suddenly burst into a cheer and started to treat Julian like a hero. The police who were being blocked were now able to step up and take action. They immediately cuffed all the goons and hurried the beaten-up man to the nearest hospital. Julian let the police do their job but he kept the goon leader with him as he wanted to know where he can find the leader of Team Skull. By now, Julian knows that these low-level goons have no idea what is happening, and they just do what they are told to do. Julian still has his hand wrapped around the goon leader''s broken hand as he continues to sob in pain. Julian "Where is your leader?" Julian asks coldly. The sobbing idiot doesn''t even bother to resist, as he is just a local who decided to join a gang for the sake of it. He instantly blurted out his leader''s location. The leader seems to be on ind and it is also where the majority of Team Skull members can be found. Having nothing else to provide, the goon leader was useless, so he handed him over back to the police and got on his Charizard, and flew away. His destination right now is ind and with Charizard''s help, it won''t take him long to get there. Flying over Ak ind, Julian soon finds himself over the water body separating Ak Ind from ind. Julian''s Gyarados, who has made the water of Al his recent home, noticed Julian flying over to ind so he also swam towards ind to stay close to Julian. Julian guides his Charizard towards the biggest town of ind and directly makes his way toward the police station to figure out the situation on ind. Chapter 1326: The Hideout Chapter 1326: The Hideout As Julian''s Charizard dives closer down towards ind, Julian can feel that the town below him is a little restlesspared to a normal day. Julian guides Charizard towards a police station and when he finally gets down, he sees a bunch of police officers rushes out of the station in a hurry. They didn''t even bother to look at Julian, who justnded in front of their station on a massive Charizard. He looks at them and could already guess why they all are in such a hurry, ignoring the officers, Julian gets off his Charizard and enters the police station and he was instantly greeted by the sight of Officer Jenny of ind talking to an officer with a serious expression on her face. Julian "Excuse me" Julian calls her to grab her attention. Jenny turns around to see who it is and sees a tall young man in ck clothes looking at her. She has never seen this man before, but as she looks at his features and how he is dressed, his description matches the person that one of her cousins spoke about just a few hours ago. Jenny "Are you perhaps Mr. Julian?" She questions. Julian "I am, I just wanted to ask you some questions" Julian said. Jenny "Sure, let''s go inside my office" Jenny said and guided Julian back to her office. Julian carefully observed his surrounding and found this station no different from the one in Ak or Mele Mele Ind. All of them seem to be based on the same design. Julian "I will keep this short. I am looking for the leader of Team Skull as I believe that he knows something about Cipher. I understand that you have already been informed about Cipher, right?" Julian inquires. Jenny nods and starts to speak. Jenny "Yes, I have been informed about Cipher and I have put half of my people to search for them but we have found no sess, but suddenly Team Skull has started to act up and is causing a lot of trouble, forcing us to recall all our members to deal with the current situation" She says. Julian "I understand. I am ny percent sure that Cipher is behind this and that is why I want to find Team Skull''s leader to see if he knows something. All this is too sudden and I believe Cipher is nning something big, so we need to find out before they can act" Jenny nods and pulls out a holographic map of the ind and points at arge part of the map. Jenny "This is where the leader of Team Skull resides. The area is filled with steep cliff and hills, and right in the middle is an old abandoned mansion that Team Skull have made their base" Julian "Isn''t this a little too much? How can a local gang have so much control over a territory?" Julian asks surprised as the portion of the map Jenny pointed to was too big for just a local gang to take over. Jenny "Well at first no one bothered with Team Skull thinking that they are just a bunch of mischievous kids but soon we learned that they have full control over the steep cliffs. And with how the terrain is, it is almost impossible for it to be captured from the outside. And the high altitude also helps them deal with aerial base attacksing from the sky. On top of that, their number is a lot more than we estimated. They have over 500 members, all patrolling the cliffs and hills. They will attack anyone who enters their vicinity. That is why it has been hard for us to take them down." Jenny exins everything. Julian looks at the map and etches it into his mind. He knows that brute force is the only way to get through and defeat Team Skull. Luckily, Julian is an expert in this. Julian "Don''t worry about Team Skull, I will take care of them. Have your men focus on the cities and towns to keep the people safe from some rogue ones" Julian instructs. Jenny "You aren''t nning to enter their territory all alone, right?" She asked worriedly. Julian "Don''t worry about me, I have a n. They will not know what hit them. You just need to focus on keeping the citizens safe" Julian says and walks out of the station leaving Officer Jenny puzzled. She wondered what Julian has that could overthrow such a huge gang all alone. He hops on his Charizard again and instructs him to take flight once again. Charizard flies up and begins to roam the sky of ind. Another special pokemon who is in the vicinity as well notices his presence. It looks at Julian and Charizard with itszy eyes, which suddenly be alert as it feels the energy around Julian. It can''t help but get curious about Julian, so it decides to follow Julian and see what this human is up to. Julian instructs and guides Charizard toward the location of the hills and cliffs based on the imprint of the map he etched into his memory, and he soon arrives in front of his destination. Below him is a vastnd with an unevenndscape. Tall hills and steep cliffs are all over the ce, and there is one massive mansion right in the middle of this valley. Julian ''That should be their hideout'' Julian thought while looking at it. Chapter 1327: Big Bang Entrance Chapter 1327: Big Bang Entrance Julian looks at the massive abandoned mansion for a few minutes and tries to figure out how he should tackle this. His eyes are sharp and he can see that the mission is being patrolled by the team skull goons and they are in massive numbers. After giving it some thought, Julian decided to cause havoc and bring out the big fish instead of going in search of him. With how these goons act, Julian knows they will try to take him head-on. These local idiots have too much ego and think they are on top of the world to realize they are about to get fucked. Julian "Let''s go down" Julian instructed Charizard to dive. Charizard followed his order and dove directly toward the mansion. Some skull goons who are out on petrol noticed something diving towards them. The first goon who noticed it tapped his partner on the shoulder and told him to look at it. "Hey what''s that?" he asked. "What?" the other goon questions and look up and sees a small ck dot hiding behind the burning sun approaching them at high speed and every second, the dot keeps getting bigger and bigger. Not knowing what it is or who it is, the goons quickly alert their fellow goons. Every goon in the vicinity rushed towards them as they need to confront whoever or whatever this is or they will get beat the shit out of them by their boss and he doesn''t go easy. The pack of goons who continued to increase in number watched as the dot grew bigger and bigger and they could finally make out the shape approaching them. A massive pokemon with big wings is charging at them at full speed, and all of them quickly fell into a panic thinking that the wild pokemon are attacking them. "Quick, attack it!" one of the goons shouted. Following his words, the goons quickly called out their pokemons and ordered them to use their respective moves. Julian, who is on top of Charizard, saw the attacksing towards him and couldn''t help but smile, as these attempts arepletely futile. He didn''t even have to tell his Charizard to take care of it as he did it himself. Charizard opened his mouth and used Fire st to remove all the attacks thrown at them. Charizard''s Fire st is massive, spanning over 10 meters from end to end, and easily towered over the iing attacks and easily engulfed them, and continued forward toward the goons. The goons became terrified as they witnessed all their attacks being engulfed by the massive Fire st but their horrors are just beginning. They all see the massive Fire sting towards them and if they don''t get out of there, they will be roasted. Some nimble ones quickly started to run away shouting while some just stood there in fear. Eventually, some of the goons pulled them away, but it was still toote. Even though none of them got directly hit by the Fire st, the explosion was enough to shake the whole valley and the shockwave knocked back everyone around it. Most goons in the vicinity were thrown into the air and hurt themselves badly because of the explosion and so did their pokemons. Of course, this isn''t the end of this massive gang. The ones who got exposed to the explosion are only a few and because of the explosion, now the whole gang knows that something has happened at the entrance of the base. Most goons made a run towards the entrance as they need to defend their base, and all these goons were being ordered by one old teenager with pink and yellow hair. "Quick, get your asses to the entrance. Stop whoever it is or else Guzma is going to beat you up!" She yelled and followed behind the goons as well. She didn''t know who is bold enough to attack their base in Al but in her head, whoever this is, is an idiot. With hundreds of goons making their way towards the entrance, the ce soon got filled with people and pokemons. Every person in the area is wearing ck clothes with white ents and a skull logo right in the middle. The men have their hair dyed blue and the girls have their hair dyed pink. These hundred goons are all tensed up, as in front of them is a massive ck Charizard, and standing next to this Charizard is a person wearing all ck. They don''t know who this person is, but they knew he is dangerous by looking at the destruction at the entrance. Since the attacker is not attacking and just standing there, they decided to wait for their admin or boss to show up to take the reins, as none of them want to be responsible if something goes wrong. Luckily, they didn''t have to risk anything as their admin came within a few minutes and got right to confront the intruder. "Who are you?" The old teenager with pink and yellow hair asked. She is none other than the admin and the right-hand woman of the boss. She is 19 years old and had joined the gang a year earlier and quickly rose up the ranks, as she is much more capable than all the chumps that join the gang. Her environment has clearly limited her sess. If she had been trained, she would be much better, but even she doesn''t know this because she is ignorant. Julian "You don''t need to know. Tell me where your boss is. I don''t want to waste my time with your useless bunch." Chapter 1328: The Carnage Chapter 1328: The Carnage When the admin girl heard Julian''s words, she became pissed. Not only did this person intrude into their territory and attacked their members, but now he is also throwing around insults with no regard. She feels furious and wants to beat up this man for his rudeness, but she still keeps her calm and decides to see what happens next. "You can''t barge in here and demand something from us. Don''t you see that you are severely outnumbered? There are 100s of us and you are only one. So I will ask you again, who are you and why are you here causing trouble?" She says. Hearing her, the other goons also get vocal and start to shout at Julian, they threaten him, and as their voices got louder; they became bolder as they felt that they were getting to Julian. Julian, on the other hand, is just bored, he thought that by insulting them, these idiots will directly attack him so he can take care of them in one fell swoop but the girl in the front was smart enough to not engage him in a fight. But seeing that these idiots are about to go rowdy, Julian felt that it should be enough. Julian "I will ask, onest time. Where is your boss? I don''t want to waste my time with your bunch. Julian said again and this time, he added some seriousness to his tone, but it looks like they fell on deaf ears. This time, even the admin girl didn''t like Julian''s response and decided to use her power. "You can talk to him directly after we deal with you. Grunts, destroy him, and then capture him." She ordered angrily. And the goons followed her order like gospel because they want to earn her favor. Almost all the goons ordered their pokemons to attack Julian, but none of them know that they made the biggest mistake of their life. Seeing this, Julian just sighed seeing these futile attempts. Julian "Charizard, take care of them." Julian ordered. Charizard pped his wings and rose up in the air and then used Hurricane. He pped his wings hard and created a powerful tornado to destroy all the attacksing toward him and Julian. Some pokemons that used physical attacks were the first to be a sweep of their feet while the special moves used by other pokemons also got sucked into the tornado and hit the pokemons trapped inside it. Everyone watched in horror as they had never seen anything like this, but their horrors are not over. The tornado continued and started lifting the pokemons and the goons and sucked them into it as well. The ones who were not too bold to confront Julian before made a run for their life, including the admin, as she saw hundreds of her goons getting lifted off the ground like dirt and being thrown around inside the massive tornado. So she doesn''t want any part in it. But before she could get away safely from there, she saw her goons flying past her and falling right in front of her. She got startled at first, but after seeing the carnage and more than hundreds of her goons being thrown in every direction, she got terrified. At first, she just wanted to get herself to safety and didn''t realize the level of danger, but now it is slowly hitting her. Whoever this person is/ Is dangerous and her boss''s life might be in danger. So the very first thought that came into her mind was to inform her boss, but before she could even get inside their base, she saw someone walking towards her and she lost all the color on her face. "GUZMA, RUN" she shouted with all her lungs, but the dude has too much ego to listen to his subordinate. Guzma didn''t bother to even look at his fallen goons and just walked past their fallen bodies and stopped right in front of his subordinate. Guzma "Plumeria Team Skull doesn''t run away from a fight and who is he?" Guzma says while looking at Julian. Plumeria "I don''t know who he is. He was asking for you but everything went wrong when we tried to fight back" She said while looking around. Guzma looked around and saw the carnage left behind. Even though he didn''t see it personally, he could tell that the scale of the attack was devastating. But he is not afraid. He has been fighting against the odds his whole life. One big bad man won''t stop him. Guzma "Let''s see what this freak has to say to me" Guzma says and walks past Plumeria and tries to walk toward Julian, but Plumeria stops him by grabbing his hand. Plumeria "Guzma, I think we should get out of here. This might not turn out well" She advises as she takes a nce at Julian. She has always listened to her guts and her guts tell her that this will not be good for them. Guzma "You worry too much, I have ways to deal with him" Guzma says and yanks his hand out of Plumeria''s grip and approaches Julian. Guzma "I am the leader of Team Skull, what do you want?" Guzma asks with his hands in his pants, showing no fear for Julian. He seems to be confident enough to confront Julian even after seeing the carnage that Julian caused. Julian, of course, notices this and wonders where Guzma''s confidencees from. Even an elite-level trainer won''t be able to stand still in front of Julian after seeing the carnage he caused. He suspects something. Chapter 1329: Charizard Vs The Secret Weapon Chapter 1329: Charizard Vs The Secret Weapon As Julian had predicted, the leader himself came out as soon as he started to cause some problems. If Guzma was smart, he would have made a run for his life, but he didn''t, he decided to confront Julian. But Guzma''s boldness still surprised Julian. So he suspects that Guzma has something that is giving him some confidence, even after seeing the carnage that Julian has caused. Julian "Then let''s not waste each other''s time. Tell me, where can I find the person that ordered you to cause trouble all around Al?" Julian asked as he didn''t want to waste his time going back and forth. Guzma frowned hearing this because he never told anyone that he was told to cause trouble by a mysterious person, not even his admin, but somehow this man knows. He knew whatever he was doing was going to bring him problems, but he didn''t expect one to arrive so quickly. But he knows that with great riskse great rewards. This mysterious person promised to reward him well if he does things right. Guzma just stares at Julian and then looks at the Charizard standing right next to him. He has never seen a Charizard so big so he feels a little pressure, but he also has something that should be able to deal with this Charizard. After saying his options, Guzma decides to stick to the script and confront Julian. Guzma "I don''t know what you are talking about," Guzma said. Julian sighed. He expected this, as he didn''t expect this guy to start talking instantly. Julian "No need to put up an act. I know your little gang isn''t going around causing trouble all around Al for no reason, so I will ask you onest time. Tell me, who told you to do it and where is he right now?" Julian asked. Guzma just stared at Julian for a few seconds and then smirked. Guzma "Fuck off, I don''t know what you are talking about" Guzma said. Julian frowned but didn''t do anything. Instead, his Charizard is the one who stepped up and let out an angry growl while ring at Guzma. Guzma felt the growl as his whole body vibrated because of it. He felt as if his heart almost stopped because of that powerful growl; he felt fear and couldn''t help but step back. But he then remembered his secret weapon. Guzma "Fuck you, I am not scared of you. I was nning to let you go scot free but now, you are going to regret evering here!" He shouted angrily and took out a ck Pokeball. As soon as Julian saw the Pokeball in Guzma''s hand, his suspicion is now confirmed as the Pokeball in Guzma''s hand is a shadow Pokeball. Without wasting any time, Guzma tossed the Pokeball and sent out his shadow Pokemon. The Pokemon that came out of the Pokeball is a dark Toxicroak. Instead of its skin being blue, it is several shades darker and there is a ck aura surrounding it. The shadow Toxicroak has dead lifeless eyes as it just stands there waiting for its trainer to order it around. Guzma saw the frown on Julian''s face and smirked. He thought that Julian is worried about his new Pokemon. Guzma "Hahaha, are you scared? You should have note here in the first ce, so now you are going to suffer." Guzma continued to shit talk but Julian didn''t give two fucks about it. Julian "Charizard take care of this," Julian ordered. Guzma "Toxicroak, use Poison Jab" Not wanting to be on the receiving end of an attack, Guzma decides to make the first move andnd a lethal blow. His motionless Toxicroak suddenly burst into action and charged towards Charizard at extreme speed by using its powerful legs, it then pulled its arm behind and charged up a Poison Jab, the spike on top of its knuckle started to glow collecting a lot of poison energy which would be very lethal for any pokemon that would get hit by it. But Charizard is different. To him, this is but just a futile struggle from his zombie-like opponent, so he counters with a methrower. Charizard''s methrower is absolutely lethal and if Toxicroak gets hit by it, it is over for the shadow pokemon but to Charizard''s surprise, just when the methrower was about to make contact with Toxicroak, it moved to the side and easily dodged it with the help of its nimble feet. Neither Julian nor Charizard expected this Toxicroak to be so nimble and quick. After dodging the methrower, Toxicroak continued to charge toward Charizard,pletely ignoring the devastating explosion behind it created by the methrower. This development did not bother Charizard much as he is used to his opponents pulling stuff out of nothing. He has been training under Julian his whole life and Julian''s pokemons are way more creative and effective with their sudden counterattack than this Toxicroak. So to avoid the Poison Jab, Charizard just ps his wings and takes to the sky, making a significant distance between himself and his attacker. But the surprises just don''t end here. Just as when Charizard thought that he has made some distance between himself and his opponent, the Toxicroak used its ridiculously powerful legs and jumped towards him at extremely high speed, covering the distance between them within a second. Now he is just a few inches away from Charizard to deliver the lethal Poison Jab. Chapter 1330: Not Worth It Chapter 1330: Not Worth It It came as a surprise to both Julian and Charizard when they saw the Toxicroak jump so high and cover the distance between Charizard and itself within a second. But neither of them is worried. Even though the distance between Charizard and Toxicroak is only a few inches and the impact will take ce within milliseconds, Charizard was not bothered at all. He can, of course, not dodge this because the distance is too little for him to get away safely, so he was left with only one option and that is to counterattack. Charizard tapped into his dragonic powers with just a thought and brought down a powerful Dragon w at Toxicroak. If this was a normal pokemon, it would have tried to block the Dragon w with its attack, but Toxicroak is not a normal pokemon. It only has to follow orders, so it did. It didn''t bother to counter the Dragon w and continue aiming at Charizard''s abdomen. The biggest mistake it could make. Charizard''s Dragon w smashed into Toxicroak''s head and sent it shooting through the air and impaled it into the ground. It couldn''t even touch Charizard''s hair. Guzma''s watched this with wide eyes. He didn''t know how strong his Toxicroak was because he just got it from that mysterious person. So when he saw it moving extremely quickly, he got very excited, but his excitement came crashing down as soon as he saw his Toxicroak getting smashed into the ground with just an attack. Guzma ''Shit, I overestimated my new pokemon'' He thought and gritted his teeth as he is trying to think of a way to get out of here but before he could evene up with a good solution. He saw his Toxicroak get out of the crater it was nted in and got back to its feet. Seeing this Guzma got excited. Guzma "Keep fighting, do everything to stop them" Guzma said and started running. He didn''t care about his new pokemon one bit as it was given to him freely. He values his life more than some random pokemon, and even though losing such a strong pokemon is hurtful, it is not worth his life. The Toxicroak started to just as it was ordered, as it was made to only follow orders. It didn''t even care about Guzma, who started making a run for his life. Toxicroak once again burst towards Charizard and engaged him in a losing battle. Julian, of course, wouldn''t let Guzma just run away, so he let Gengar handle it. ____________________ Guzma is making a run for his life. His hands and feet are in full motion and he is giving it his all to rum away. Guzma ''Fuck this shit, I don''t want to lose my life to that freak... Fuck, I should have not epted that deal in the first ce. It was too good to be true.'' Guzma thought as he continued to run, but then he suddenly noticed something peculiar about his situation. The scenery in front of him was getting further and further away from him. Guzma panicked and started to run faster, but the faster he tried to run, the further the scenery away from him got. Guzma "What the fuck is happening?" He shouted out loud and looked at his feet and saw that his feet are still moving but when he looks back up, his path is getting longer and longer. Guzma really started to panic, and an unknown fear crept up on him. He turned his head to look back and was scared shit because he hasn''t made a single-meter distance from the scene of the action. He is still right next to where Toxicroak and Charizard are battling. He saw his Toxicroak getting thrown around like a rag doll, but it continued to get up and tried to fight Charizard. Guzma "AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!" Guzma screamed in terror and tried to run, but he couldn''t go anywhere. He once again looked at his feet and finally saw the reason behind his current state. He saw two crimson eyes staring right at him in his shadow, then he saw the thing inside his shadow grin showing off its white teeth. Guzma suddenly stops and gives up on running as he has frozen up in terror, his whole body is shaking like crazy, he is sweating bullets and his heart rate is through the roof. He feels light-headed and he couldn''t take it anymore. He faints from terror. Gengar "Gegegegegege" Gengarughs as he sees his victim just get knocked out unconscious. _____________________ Back to the battle between Charizard and the Shadow Toxicroak. It is a very one-sided battle as Charizard ising out on top in every exchange and because of this; the Toxicroak ispletely beaten up. If this was a normal pokemon, it would have been knocked out multiple times, but this Toxicroak doesn''t have such luxury. Julian frowns, seeing this because any more damage to the Toxicroak''s body and it might legit die, so Julian decides to let Gengar handle this once again. Julian "Gengar, trap it away and keep an eye on it. Help its body recover as well" Julian ordered. Suddenly multiple tentacles made of shadow shot out of the ground and wrapped around Toxicroak''s limbs,pletely immobilizing it. Toxicroak tried to struggle free, but it was useless. It then slowly got dragged into Gengar''s shadow dimension when it will be taken care of by Gengar as per Julian''s instruction. Chapter 1331: Update Chapter 1331: Update Will start uploading from tomorrow, so stay tuned. Also check out patreon, I have 10 extra chaps for you to read ahead of time?? Chapter 1332: Deserved Punishment Chapter 1332: Deserved Punishment With the Shadow Toxicroak being taken care of, Julian brings his attention to Guzma, who has passed away from experiencing overwhelming fear. Julian walks up to Guzma and kicks his leg to see if he is up or is just faking it. Seeing no reaction from Guzma, Julian pulls out a water bottle from his dimensional pouch and, as he was about to pour it on Guzma, he feels someone looking at him. He lifts his head and looks in the direction and sees Plumeria hiding behind a rock, sneaking peaks and spying on him. Julian ''I have to give it to her. She is at least loyal,'' Julian thinks and brings his attention back to Guzma and starts pouring the water on his face making him wake up. Guzma wakes up with a jolt as he feels like he is being drowned. As soon as he wakes up, he sees Julian standing right in front of him with a water bottle in his hand. Guzma looks around and can''t find his pokemon anywhere. The only pokemon he sees in the vicinity is the massive ck Charizard. As he thinks of his pokemon, he suddenly remembers why he is in such a state, so he hurriedly looks down in fear to check if the terrifying entity is still in his shadow or not. Finding nothing, he sighs in relief but is quickly brought to reality by Julian. Julian "Don''t feel relieved. If I want, I can make you experience that hell again" Julian speaks coldly. Guzma once again brings his attention back to Julian and stares right into his cold eyes, and this time, he feels fear. He has nothing that can stop this man from hurting him or making him experience that dread again. Julian "If you are smart enough, start speaking. Where is the person who told you to cause trouble all around Al?" Julian got straight to the point. Guzma gulped down and decided to talk. Guzma "Look man, I am just doing what I was told to do, I am not behind this shit" He tries to deflect, but Julian isn''t having any of it. Julian "I didn''t ask you that. I want answers to my questions, nothing else" Julian says coldly. Guzma is sweating in fear, and he should be. The man standing in front of him took out his whole gang and his modified super pokemon with ease. He can''t do anything but ept his fate. Guzma "Ok, ok, I don''t know who this person is, but he came here and spoke directly to me. He told me to use my gang and start harassing the people of Al and keep the officials of the region busy. Instead, he will pay me a lot of money" Julian "Why did he want you to do so? Did he give you any reason? How long was this harassment nned to take ce?" Julian asked one question after the other rapidly. Guzma "He didn''t give me any reason. He just told me to do it and he said the reward will be massive. He also gave me that very powerful pokemon. Told me to use it if an elite traineres and confronts me. As for how long I had to continue harassing the people, he told me to do it till he contacts me himself." Guzma said. Julian frowned upon hearing this. Guzma was not much of a help. He is no different from the handymen that Julian has been dealing with. Cipher is bing a pain in the ass for him with how they work, but he gets it. If it was him, he would do the same as well. Julian "How did he contact you in the first ce?" Julian asks. If he can''t get anything from Guzma, then he might get it directly from the source. Guzma "He just came out of nowhere, man. I was about to go to sleep when this dude suddenly spoke to me. It freaked me out at first, but he then give me instructions. He gave me that pokemon and 20 percent of the payment beforehand" He says. Julian "What does he look like?" Guzma "It was dark, and he was wearing all-ck clothing with a ck mask as well" Julian "What type of clothes?" Guzma "It was a one-piece tactile suit. That was the only thing I could make out in the dark" He said. Julian stopped questioning after this. He couldn''t get much from Guzma, but it was still enough for him to start somewhere. As for this person who Guzma is talking about, Julian is sure that he is somewhere in Al, keeping an eye on the situation so he can report back to the headquarters. Guzma "Hey man, I told you everything you needed to know, so can you let me go?" Guzma asks. Julian looks at him coldly and speaks. Julian "Get up" Julian orders. Guzma gets to his feet thinking that Julian is finally going to let him go or else he would have not told him to stand. Guzma himself wouldn''t have done that if he was in Julian''s position. As soon as Guzma gets to his feet, he gets rattled as Julian smacks him with a hard p. Guzma feels his ear ringing, but Julian doesn''t stop with just one. He grabs Guzma''s cor and starts pping the shit out of Guzma''s face, straight hand, backhand, straight hand, backhand, he continues to p Guzma till his facepletely swells up as there are visible bruises and cuts all over his face from just the ps. But it doesn''t just end there. Julian then makes and fist and starts pummeling Guzma''s face with straight punches, breaking his nose and most of his front teeth in the process. He then gut kicks and sends Guzma rolling on the ground, leaving him a bloody mess. Julian "This is for all those innocent people who were severely injured by your goons under your orders. Make sure you inform all your goons about this and tell them to get out of the streets. If I see anyone of them harassing people again. I will personally break their bones and send them to the infirmary. Then I wille back here and beat the shit out of you again. And if you go into hiding, I will flip the whole region of Al to find you and then beat the shit out of you and it will be much worse than this" Julian threatened coldly as Guzma just whimpered in pain. Chapter 1333: Problem Solved? Chapter 1333: Problem Solved? Now that he is done here, he is sure that Guzma will do the right thing and call back all his goons who are still causing trouble around Al. With nothing else to do, Julian hops on Charizard''s back and flies away, leaving behind the bloody, bruised, and beaten-up Guzma, who continues to whimper in pain. Plumeria who has been in hiding all along quickly gets out and rushes towards Guzma and checks on him, she couldn''t help but cringe seeing the state Guzma has been left in but she fortitudes her mind and picks up Guzma and drags him back to their hideout. Once inside, she quickly rys the message to all the goons who are out there, causing trouble to stop doing it and return to the base or go home. She heard Julian''s words directed toward Guzma and knew that she needs to act fast. Guzma is in no state to even speak right now and she needs to provide him with medical attention right now. After sending the messages to all the goons, she starts taking care of Guzma. She doesn''t know what is the reason behind Guzma taking such action which led to him being pummeled in such a bad shape. She didn''t understand when Guzma told the goons to wreak havoc around Al, but since she is just an admin; she isn''t in a position to question his decision. He didn''t speak to her about it and kept it to himself and now, because of his decisions; he got his face punched in pretty bad. For the first time, she wondered if she did the right thing by joining Team Skull. When she first saw Team Skull, she thought they were pretty cool, and after seeing Guzma in action, she wanted to join his gang and she did. At first, she was just a low-level grunt but soon rose up the rankings and became his right-hand woman. But as she got close to Guzma; she realized that he is not as cool as she thought him to be. And today''s incident might be the one that broke the camel''s back. Plumeria also realizes that she is no longer a kid, and that she needs to make drastic life decisions to create a better future for herself. This gang shit won''t work for her any longer. Plumeria ''I think it''s time for me to leave all this behind and start living a normal life. At least my mom will be happy seeing me back'' She thinks as she aids Guzma. This will be herst service to Guzma. She will aid him till he recovers and then leave. She saw with her own eyes what happens to people who mess with stuff they shouldn''t. Guzma tried to do something big, and he got put in his ce. Plumeria is smart enough to not make the same mistakes. She decides to get out of this life the more she thinks about it. _____________________ Julian returns to the police office and sees a few officers running out of the office. Even though Julian has taken care of Guzma, he knows that things won''t settle down in an instant and it will take some time, as some goons will go rogue or they still haven''t received the message. He walks into the police office and finds officer Jenny talking to some of her subordinates, handing out cases, and sending them away. She notices his arrival and gestures for him to head toward her office. Julian follows her inside and they both take their seats. Jenny "You are back already?" She asks, confused. She thought Julian went to deal with Team Skull leaders so she doesn''t understand what he is doing here. Julian "Yes, it''s over" Julian says. Jenny "Wait, what do you mean by, it''s over?" she asks, confused. Julian "I took care of the Team Skull leader. He will inform his goons to back off and never bother the people again. If they do bother the people, you can contact me personally" Julian says. Jenny "You mean you were able to deal with them all?" She asks shocked. Julian "I told you, I have my ways" He says. Jenny "Then what about those Team Skull goons that are still harassing people out there?" She asks wondering if Julian is lying to her as there are still callsing in about harassment. Julian "Of course, some of them still have not been updated about their situation. Give it a few hours. It should be all calmed down" Julian reassures her Hearing this, Jenny can''t be happier. She was really tensed because of all the chaos Team Skull was making all around her district, and it was not just her, all her cousins and sisters were also facing the same problem. So if what Julian said is true, then their problem is solved. Julian "I think you should inform the other Jennys about it as well" Julian advised. Jenny nodded and quickly updated a few Jennys and asked them to ry the message to other Jennys as well. Julian "There is also one more thing," Julian brings the conversation back to the main topic. Jenny "What is it?" She asks. Julian "I had a little talk with Guzma, the leader of Team Skull and he said he did this because someone paid him to do so. I want you to put people undercover all over Al to find any suspicious people. I will also be looking for that person. If you do find someone, don''t take any action as he can be dangerous, instead inform me. Ry this message to the other Jennys as well. I want this to be confidential and only be known between the Jennys and no one else" Julian exins the situation andys out the n to search for this person. Jenny realizes that this is an even bigger problem than she expected, so she quickly gets to work. Julian also bids his farewell, as he still needs to find this person. Chapter 1334: A New Spy Mission Chapter 1334: A New Spy Mission Julian wondered how he can find this man responsible for making all this fuss. Julian knew he had to find this person fast, but he doesn''t like his chances, as this person who came in contact with Guzma might have already fled Al. Julian could have prevented his escape if he escaped by water, but Julian has no control over the sky, but Julian still has to try. He then called out some of his pokemons to scout out every ind of Al. Gengar, Kyurem, Aegish, and Charizard separated from Julian before starting tob down all the inds thoroughly. Though it will take some time, Julian is confident in their ability to at least find something and report back to him. Julian also started looking around on foot and talked to a few locals on this ind to see if they saw anyone suspicious. And it seems that he is out of luck. None of these people have seen anyone suspicious, but just as Julian was about to give up and head back to his hotel room, Gengar arrived by his side and informed him about something he found. With Gengar taking the lead, Julian quickly followed right behind him, which took him to a small run-down-looking building which doesn''t seem to house anyone. Julian followed Gengar into the building and found himself in front of a makeshift tent with some food waste, an extinguished fire pit, and in the extinguished fire pit is some burnt clothes. One can easily tell that someone burnt down their clothes here and quickly took off. Julian "This dude didn''t stay for long. He must have already left or haspletely changed his look" Julian murmured, but then he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Gengar and spoke. Julian "Gengar, trace the aura around those burnt clothes and try to find if anyone has a simr aura around the Al inds" Gengar nodded with a grin and easily picked up the unique aura around the burnt cloth. Every living being has a unique aura that distinguishes them from others and Gengar being able to control and use an overwhelming amount of psychic energy can easily trace such aura. That is why Julian is never worried about leaving Gengar behind, because he will always be able to find Julian no matter where he is in the world. Julian doesn''t have much confidence in finding this person, as he could have already fled from Al, but it is still better to give it onest shot. It will take Gengar some time for him to cover the whole of Al, so Julian decides to head back to his hotel and spend his day training his young pokemons. Returning to his hotel, he didn''t bother putting his little pokemons through any physical training. Instead, he made them focus on their energy maniption. Now that his Grubbin has evolved into Charjabug, he can now start leveling up by focusing on his energy control. Physical training would not do much to his improvement because he won''t evolve through normal means anymore. To evolve further, Charjabug will need a thunder stone and Julian has a few of them in his dimensional pouch. But Julian doesn''t think Charjabug is still ready to evolve, and that is why he needs to perfect his energy control. The newest addition to his team, Marshadow, is already very good at energy maniption, but that is where he hase up against a wall. Though he has learned everything by himself and done it exceptionally, without any guidance, he will be stuck at his current level for a long time. So now, he is focused on teaching Marshadow energy control and how to increase power. By doing so, Marshadow will level up much faster. ____________________ While Julian is training his Pokemon, Gengar is tracing down the aura of the unknown man and he found himself on the edge of the ind. Staring at the invisible aura that has already left the ind. Looks like the unknown man has already left the ind. Gengar could, of course, follow the aura all the way to where the man is headed, but he decided to inform Julian first about it. ______________________ A few hours have passed and Julian can already see minor improvements in his pokemons, but these improvements might slow down, so he will need to continue changing his methods. As he is about to end their training session, Gengar floated in and informed him about the escape of the unknown man. Julian "Expected as much. I want you to follow this man back to where he went and observe everyone he meets and talks to." Julian instructed. Receiving the mission, Gengar saluted Julian and left the room. Going on another spy mission. And Julian brought his attention back to his pokemons. Without Gengar, his shadow will be empty and he has a perfect recement for it until Gengares back. Marshadow. Though Marshadow is not as skilled as Gengar, he can still be Julian''s eyes from his shadow. Chapter 1335: Brooding Men Chapter 1335: Brooding Men Two days have passed, but nothing has gone down in Al. Julian continues to train his Pokemon and is seeing gradual improvement in them. Marshadow has shown significant signs of improvement in his energy control. Julian had to modify everything that Marshadow had learned all this time, but Marshadow is smart and quickly caught on to his teachings and started reworking his energy. Charjabug''s progress is slower than Marshadow''s as he is younger and this is the first time he is trying to improve his energy control while Marshadow already has experience with it. His Wimpod is also doing great with his energy control, though the best course of action for Wimpod would be more physical training, instead Julian decided to not take this route as his Wimpod is very close to evolving so having better energy control before evolving would be a great help to Wimpod. As for his biggest challenge, in a literal way, the Incineroar that he just caught deep inside the volcano. Incineroar is wild in his nature and doesn''t like humans, but he has calmed down a lot, at least in front of Julian and his pokemons. He still has no confidence in letting Incineroar out in front of other people. He is also very strong because of all the Z-energy he observed while living inside that volcano. It created a natural mutation inside him, making him extremelyrgepared to a normal Incineroar. Julian understands that his Incineroar is a totem Pokemon, so he had toe up with a new form of energy training for Incineroar. Every cell in Incineroar''s body is fused with Z-energy and they act like a reservoir to store extra Z-energy, which it can use to perform Z moves without a Z-Crystal. Julian wondered if he can make Incineroar store his own energy in his cells to double his endurance and vitality, and with that vast reserve, the power he can unleash will be much more. As for Z-energy, Julian can always use a Z-crystal to power up his Incineroar even more. For now, this is all just a theory and Julian is working on it, but if he is sessful, Incineroar might be one of his strongest fire-type pokemons ever. _____________________ While Julian is busy training his Pokemon, his shadow, Gengar has finally tracked down the unknown man that he has been searching for. Gengar is now in the Orre region, looking down at a man with spiky ck hair from the ceiling. Gengar actually found him yesterday and kept his eye on him, but the man has still not made any contact with anyone, so Gengar has to be patient. Right now the man is sitting inside a coffee shop drinking a cup of coffee while he has no idea that he is being watched by a terrifying monster. As the man continued to drink his coffee and Gengar continued his spying mission, the door of the shop opened and two people walked in. Both of them looked like they are brooding in darkness because of their looks. With ck hats and long ck coats, they approach the man and disturb his coffee time. The man lifts his head and looks at the two men and gets to his feet to wee them. "It''s done," He says as soon as the two men sit down. The two men didn''t speak back and just stared at him for a few seconds before one of them finally spoke. "You failed," He said in a raspy voice. It sounded very cold, very inhuman. "What do you mean, I failed? I did exactly as I was asked to do." The man who Gengar is after spoke in shock. "This is not the right ce to talk about it. Follow us" The other one spoke up as they both got back to their feet. Gengar''s target got nervous but he knew he cannot cause a scene or run away. It is in his best interest to follow them. So he followed the two brooding men out of the coffee shop and into a ck van withpletely tinted windows. Gengar watched all of this with great interest and followed the three of them without being noticed. He is having a lot of fun doing this spy thing and won''t mind spending a day or two just doing so. The van then drove away making Gengar follow them in the van''s shadow. He tried to listen to the conversation inside the van, but none of them talked. He could hear the rapid heartbeat of his target and could tell that the man is extremely nervous right now and doesn''t know what to do. As for the other two men, Gengar felt they were weird. Their heartbeats were very slow, around 30 beats per minute, which is extremely low, but these two seem to be functioning perfectly. Gengar could tell they were human, but not human, at the same time. Their aura was corrupted. This is the first time he had encountered anything like this. Gengar couldn''t help but get excited after finding this out, all the excitement that awaits him at the end of this ride. All the possible pranks he will pull on his unsuspected victims. Chapter 1336: The Cipher Headquarters. Chapter 1336: The Cipher Headquarters. Gengar has been following the van for over two hours now and there still seems to be no sign of slowing down. The three men inside haven''t spoken a word, and his target seems to have calmed down as time took effect. Gengar noticed that the van was heading straight towards the dense forest up ahead, making him think that their base was up there. After an hour of following the dark van into the depths of the dense forest, the van finally came to a stop and Gengar got excited. The two brooding men got out first and then slid the passenger door to pull out Gengar''s target. The man''s heartbeat started to rise up again as he felt the uncertainty of his situation. The people he is working for are dangerous and any hic-up on his part will lead to his doom. He still doesn''t understand how he failed the mission when he did everything to the tea. Finding a troublemaker, giving him exact detail on what to do, and staying behind a little to make sure that things are going as nned. He had stayed in Al an hour longer than he needed to, just to make sure that the n doesn''t fail. But now these two are telling him that he failed? He doesn''t trust them. "Where are we going?" The man asked with hesitation in his voice, but the two brooding men didn''t seem interested in speaking with him. Instead, they continued dragging him deeper into the forest on their feet. He grew even wearier as the brooding men didn''t answer him. His guts were telling him to make a run, but he knows that his escaping from these men are zero. These two men are dangerous and some of the major fighting forces behind the organization that they work for. As the two brooding men continued to walk deeper into the forest, they suddenly entered through an invisible force field and the entire scenery changed. The once dense-looking forest haspletely disappeared and instead stands a massive, advanced monument. Gengar was also taken aback by this, as he didn''t sense anything outside the force field. Of course, he was not trying to find something, or else he would have noticed it. But even without him boosting his senses, they are still very strong, making him aware of even the slightest change in his surroundings. So him not sensing such a huge building without passing the force field is definitely something new. Putting his surprise aside, Gengar focused on the building before him. The building seems very advance for the current times. Gengar also noticed a lot of members standing guard outside the building, clearly meant to be a lookout and cannon fodder if they are somehow invaded by authorities of the Orre region. Seeing the arrival of the two brooding men and their captive, the cipher guards became alert and quickly informed the ones inside about their arrival. Gengar''s target got nervous as he saw the huge building in front of him. He has never been here before as he doesn''t work for Cipher. He was a hire from the outside. At first, he wanted to reject their request, but the price was too good to refuse, but now he feels like he made a mistake. He felt a sense of impending doom wash over him as every step he took got him closer to the building. Gengar continues to follow the three before stopping in his tracks. He wanted to have some fun, as the time he spent following these three was awfully long and boring. He observed his three possible victims, the two brooding men, and the man he was sent to follow. His original target seems to be a bass of stress right now, so it would be no fun to make him suffer, but the two brooding men seem like perfect targets to him. He wondered what it would take for him to break them out of their weird state. And since Gengar is not a fan of being patient, he decided to start right now. Gengar [Gegege] Gengarughed creepily and entered the shadow of one of the brooding men and waited for him to get close to the building entrance. The guards around at the entrance felt their hearts race a little because they are scared of these brooding men. The guards know that these men are dangerous and would not hesitate even for a second to kill them if they did something wrong. So every cipher member in the vicinity is standing still in attention pose with their guns in their hand, they wanted to look as disciplined as possible. But what they witnessed next caused some of them tough unwillingly. Gengar, who just infiltrated one of the brooding men''s shadows, decided to literally pull his leg, so from the shadows, he grabbed one of his legs and pulled it. This caused the always serious, scary, brooding man to fall face-first on the ground with a thud. Seeing the always serious brooding man fall like this, some of the cipher guards couldn''t hold theirughter as they found the situation a little funny. But they still tried their best to notugh, causing them to snicker. The other brooding man who is still standing got confused because of his partner''s sudden fall. Even the man they brought here is confused seeing this. The image of the brooding man that always seemed very scary instantly shattered in the minds of the surrounding people. The victim in this scenario is also as confused as his partner. He quickly got back to his feet and looked down at the ground to find the cause of his fall. "What happened?" The other brooding man asked with his grumbly dried-up voice. "I don''t know, I felt like something pulled my leg" He answered with his own grumbly, dried-up voice. Hearing this, the other brooding man also looked down but didn''t find anything that could catch their leg. And they are very aware of their surrounding to not notice something that could make them fall. The brooding men found it weird, but they put the thought aside as they have other things to do. They then took their captive into the building. Gengar, on the other hand, is very disappointed by the response he got from the brooding men, as they didn''t react at all. But this only made Gengar more determined to break them. Chapter 1337: Execution Chapter 1337: Execution As the brooding men entered the headquarters with their captive, they didn''t know they were about to have the worst luck anyone could have. As a menacing, mischievous entity decided to make their lives a living hell. Gengar followed the brooding men into the headquarters building and observed everything that he could see and feel. Within a few minutes, Gengar has a clear understanding of the building. This headquarters is built like a maze and without proper training and understanding of what paths to take, one would get lost. And if one got lost, they are doomed. Everyone here is trained and has knowledge of where they need to be and where they need to go. So if someone gets lost or is somewhere they shouldn''t be, they will be eliminated without any questions asked. They will be presumed as an infiltrator. These people are very ruthless and strict with their rules and Gengar could tell by how the cipher members inside the headquarters acted with ord. Gengar continued to follow the brooding men and his target as he was taken deeper into the headquarters before the group finally stopped in front of a metal door. The door opened with a mechanical sound and behind this door is a modern-looking office, and at the center of this room is the person in charge right of this headquarters. "Sir, we brought him" One of the brooding men spoke and pushed the captive man forward and presented him to their boss. Sitting in the boss seat is a tall man with ck hairbed backward to look slick except for one thick, long strand of hair in the front that looks like a bent antenna. He is wearing a white coat with blue stripes and purple pants and, to top it all off, weird-looking sses over his eyes. This man is none other than Ein, the person in charge of this headquarters. He is also the mastermind behind the n of plunging Al into chaos. Ein red at the man in front of him with his cold eyes and spoke. Ein "You were given one job, and you failed toplete it. Such ipetence is not tolerable," He spoke with coldness. "I don''t know what you mean. I did everything you asked me to do. In fact, I stayed there a little longer to make sure that everything is going as nned" The man answered. Ein "Then why isn''t Al not plunged into chaos?" Ein asked as his voice vibrated with anger. His n hadpletely failed. "How would I know? It was you who nned everything. You must have not thought it all out properly" The man said. Ein frowned upon hearing this because he knows the man in front of him is telling the truth, but he has a massive ego to admit that he is the one in the wrong. Ein "You have no use for me now" He said and looked at the brooding men and signaled them to finish the job. Gengar watched everything with interest, but then he saw one of the brooding men pull out his gun and shoot the man in the back of his head, ending his life in an instant. The man didn''t even see iting. His body went limp and rag-dolled on the ground. Gengar did a Pikachu face as he saw this. He didn''t expect a brutal execution to unfold right in front of him. Ein watched this with disgust and walked out of the room before saying a few words. Ein "Clean this all up before Ie back." Of course, Gengar decided to follow Ein as he is clearly the leader here. Though he wants to have fun and mess with the brooding men, he knows his primary mission ining here is to find out what is going on. The two brooding men watched their boss walk away before one of them walked up to the corpse and picked it up by its hair, causing the blood to stop flowing out as some of the blood inside has already flowed out of the body. He then drags the body out to dispose of it leaving the other brooding man alone. ___________________ Gengar followed Ein as he makes his way toward the elevator. Of course, Ein has no idea that a terrifying existence is looming in his shadow, watching his every action. Ein entered the elevator and entered the secret floor. Only the admins are allowed to enter. Both Ein and Gengar arrived on the secret floor and went into themunication room to contact his boss. The sound of the call ringing echoed throughout the room and it was picked up. Before Ein could talk, the voice from the other side spoke. "I am disappointed" Ein "Sir, I don''t know what happened. Everything should have been ording to the n, but somewhere something went wary." "Don''t matter, you failed and your failure reflects on me. You should know that I don''t like to fail" The voice became heavy and guttural making Ein cower in fear. Ein "Sir, I will not fail next time. I will make sure to take over Al without failure" "Hmm, get lost" The voice said and ended the call. Ein took a deep breath of relief and found a chair to sit down. He thought he was going to get discarded by the boss, but he seems to be lucky. Now that relief washes over him, he wonders how he failed. He had nned to plunge Al into chaos as he wanted to invade it and take over the whole region. By creating an internal dispute, the defensive forces will be weakened from the inside, and invading them won''t be hard. But nothing happened ording to his n. The goons hemissioned were subdued within a day, and he doesn''t know how that could be done. Even with 1000s of his men, Ein will find it hard to stop the violence and conflict that he had nned for. What happened that put his whole n to a full stop? Ein ''Did I miss something?'' He questioned himself and then thought about the man who dered that he is going to destroy the cipher. Ein ''But that wouldn''t be possible. How could a single man stop it all? Even with the help of the government officials, it would take him weeks.'' He thought. Ein "Well, it doesn''t matter now, anyway. I have failed to do it the easy way. So there is only one option left. Just brute force into Al with the numbers" He said and got to work. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I wish you all a bted merry Christmas and a happy new year. I hope 2024 brings you all happiness and joy in your life. May you all seed in whatever you n to achieve this year. I will strive to do the same as well. Chapter 1338: The Horrifying Break Chapter 1338: The Horrifying Break Somewhere else in the headquarters, the brooding man that was the victim of Gengar''s prank hase to visit the scientist that is responsible for taking care of his body. "What is the purpose of your visit, C120?" The scientist asked C120, the name of our brooding man, or his serial number. C120 "Something strange happened to me when I got here" He spoke in his usual cold, dried-up voice. "What happened?" The scientist asked and approached C120 to check on him. C120 "While walking, I felt something pull on my leg and I fell" The scientist raised his brow in surprise as what C120 mentioned is definitely impossible. C120 is an experimented human who has been perfected by him and his colleagues to be better than normal humans. They are more aware of their surroundings and have better body control, meaning they will never lose coordination and will not trip or fall down, even if they bumped their leg into something. "Get inside the capsule" The scientist said while pointing at therge empty capsule. C120 nodded before gettingpletely naked and entering the capsule. The scientist attached all the necessary cables to C120''s body and ended it with an oxygen mask at the end. First, he knocked out C120 by introducing anesthesia gas and then filled the capsule with a weird green liquid. "Let''s see what is wrong with him" The scientist said and walked up to hisputer and started the capsule. Soon multiple readings shed on the screen along with a full X-ray of C120''s body. After a few minutes of observing, the scientist didn''t find anything unusual about C120''s body but decided to run the test for at least an hour to see if anythinges up during the test. He let hisputer run the capsule on auto-pilot and stepped away from it. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to call his favorite female member into his office and started to do it with her. While both their moans filled his office, they didn''t know that a mischievous, menacing entity just entered the office. Gengar witnessed the two humans performing coitus and grinned, but he didn''t ignore his main target, C120, who seems to be locked inside the capsule. Gengar got out of the shadow and turned invisible and approached the capsule and studied his victim. Seeing that he ispletely unresponsive, Gengar decided to leave him alone for now and decided to mess with the two humans who are performing coitus. Gengar approached the scientist and the woman he is fucking and observed them. Though the scientist is a little old, he still seems to have a lot of vigor and it is clearly visible by how the woman is acting. Of course, she could be faking it, but who knows? As for the woman, she is clearly doing this to curry favors from a high-ranking scientist like him. Gengar wondered what he could do before grinning from ear to ear. He got behind the scientist and looked at his bare-ass and with a grin stered on his face, Gengar created an invisible whip out from the shadow and pped it hard on the old scientist''s bare ass. The sudden sharp pain caused the scientist''s eyes to bulge out, and he screamed with pain. And because of his sudden movement due to the pain he felt, his penis bent a little too much causing it to break... This made the man shrill like a wild man as he felt excruciating pain. The woman first was terrified by the screams of her lover but when she saw how rolling on the ground with excruciating pain while holding onto his penis, she got scared. Without wasting any time, she pulled up her underwear and ran out of the office to inform the other members that the scientist hurt himself. She, of course, didn''t tell anyone that she was fucking him before all this happened. Multiple members rushed in and found the scientist on the floor with his ass out and him clutching his dick while crying like a bitch. The cipher members were taken aback by the scene in front of them, but they quickly got to work and escorted the screaming man out of his office and towards the infirmary. Gengar, of course, watched this while giggling to himself without being noticed by anyone. Gengar [Gegegegege] Gengarughed at the misfortune he caused the scientist and brought his attention back to C120. With the resident scientist taken out by him, he was reced by an assistant momentarily. Gengar wondered if he should mess with the assistant as well, but decided not to because people will start getting suspicious if another person gets injured inside this office. Not wanting to wait anymore, he decided to mess with C120 himself and start breaking him. While the assistant is focused on observing all the readings on the scream, Gengar approached C120 and passed through that capsule''s ss. He grinned while looking at C120 and decided to start by removing his oxygen mask and waking him up. Gengar [Gegegegege] Chapter 1339: A Haunted Lab? Chapter 1339: A Haunted Lab? C120 suddenly woke up and found himself inside the capsule, but his mind instantly alerted him that he is still inside the fluid. He didn''t panic because he isn''t programmed to do so. He has been experimented on to disy no emotions and always stay calm no matter what the situation. Gengar has, of course, noticed this and wants to see if he can break C120. Seeing that C120 is still calm, Gengar decided to push him more and pulled out his oxygen mask, stopping him front breathing. C120, who waspletely calm, suddenly stopped himself from breathing. Though he is calm at the moment, he knew that he is going to die if he doesn''t get out of here. He looked around and saw the assistant dozing off in front of the screen causing C120 for the very first time feel uncertain. As every second passed, he could tell that his body is running out of oxygen and he will soon drown and die. With the thought of impending doom looming over him, his emotions that had been suppressed through experimentation started to crack through the seals. Feeling the pressure of water getting more and more and him not being able to hold his breath for much longer. C120 felt the fear of dying for the first time since his transformation. His heartbeat rose, and he started to panic. He balled up his fist and started to punch the ss in front of him and tried to break it, but he is unsessful. The ss is made of very strong material and can even stop a bullet from a rifle. Gengar, who saw C120 break so easily, felt a little disappointed. He thought he would have had to poke and push him beyond the limit, but just the threat of death did it. The wires attached picked the sudden panic state of C120 up and disyed it on theputer screen while simultaneously ring up rm sounds. The loud ring sounds jolted the sleeping assistant awake and he stumbled around the desk to see what is happening. Seeing the capsule graphic shing red on the screen pointed him to the problem, he turned his head and saw C120 punching the ss from the inside. The assistant panicked and rushed towards the capsule and quickly pressed the drain button on the capsule. The bottom of the capsule opened revealing a vacuum chamber that instantly sucked up all the liquid, finally allowing C120 to breathe properly. The assistant opened the capsule door causing C120 to fall out of it. The assistant panicked seeing this and tried to lift C120 to his feet, but C120 suddenly became violet and used his elbow to smack the assistant on his face while screaming with terror. C120 "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!" He screamed with a look of horror on his face. He started to cry, but then suddenly started tough hysterically. He then suddenly became angry and jumped the assistant and started punching his face repeatedly. And while he punches, his emotions continue to shift every second. His face goes from crying toughing to horror to anger and many more. It is as if every emotion that has been suppressed is bursting out of him all at once. Before his fist turn the assistant''s face into a pulp, many cipher members rushed in as they all heard the sirens going crazy. Seeing C120 losing it, they all rushed towards him and pulled him off the assistant. C120 became rogue and started attacking the other members. As he is stronger than most humans, he was able to knock out and injure some of the members, but he soon got overwhelmed by numbers and was pinned on the ground. Gengar watched this all with a grin on his face. At first, the reaction C120 reaction was very underwhelming for him, but he didn''t expect things to take such a drastic turn, and that too for the better of his enjoyment. The situation soon calmed down as C120 was taken away. Gengar continued to roam around the headquarters and searched every nook and cranny of the headquarters, but found nothing interesting. He did mess around with some cipher members, but he soon got bored and decided to return to Julian and left back to Al. ____________________ A day has passed since the incident inside the headquarters and every member is on edge. Especially the members who are assigned to patrol near the officeb where the incident took ce. Rumors about it being haunted started to float around as one high-level scientist broke his dick, his assistant got his face smashed in and a modified member went crazy. Of course, this alerted the higher-ups, and they thought something was fishy. Inside the admin secret room, Ein, Venus, and Minor B, the three admins are watching the CCTV footage of the officeb. They watched as the old scientist was fucking the female member when Venus spoke. Venus "This is disgusting. Why am I watching this old man having sex? And isn''t it forbidden for our members to have rtionships?" She asked with disgust. Minor B "Hehehe, no need to be so cold. I actually like this. The old man still has some energy" Minor B said with a grin on his face making Venus look at him with disgust as well. Ein "Both of you shut up and watch. Something happened in thisb and we need to find out" He said and brought his attention back to the video when he finally noticed something. Chapter 1340: Gengar Returns Chapter 1340: Gengar Returns All three of them focused on the screen where the old scientist is fucking the female member when they suddenly saw the old scientist jump in pain. Ein paused the video and rewind it before zooming at the old scientist''s ass, even though he felt disgusted by looking at it. He reyed the video and saw the old man''s ass caving in by something invisible causing his old ass to ripple, and just after the contact, the old man fell on the ground screaming because of his broken penis. Ein "Did you all see that? Something hit him, something invisible" Ein said. Venus "Yes, but what was it?" Minor. B "maybe a ghost, hahaha" he says andughs. Ein looks at Minor. B and he realizes something and continues to watch the video. He fast forwards it to the part where the modified human was taken out of the pod. He rewinds the video a little back when he sees the oxygen tube attached to him getting removed by something invisible. This finally confirms his doubt. Ein "You might be right, it must be a ghost. A ghost Pokemon" Ein said. Venus "Is it one of our Pokemon?" She asks. Ein "I don''t think so. No pokemons are allowed near the area. The only option is a foreign Pokemon" Ein suggested. Minor. B "But how did it get in? Even a Cutiefly can''t get in without being noticed." He said being serious for the first time. Ein "Don''t know but it must have gotten in when they brought in that bastard" Ein said and smashed the desk in front of him with anger. Minor. B "Calm your tits. No need to be angry. It''s not like we lost anything?" He said with annoyance at seeing Ein''s outburst. Ein "We didn''t lose anything? We lost a modified human. Whatever got inside broke one of them. Meaning they are notpletely reliable like they were promised to be. Now we have to inform those bastards about it and will have to deal with all the hassles to exin how it happened. Minor. B shuts up as he realizes that the breakdown of a modified human is a much more serious thing than he imagined. Venus "Boys, now is not the time to bicker with each other. What has happened has happened. The bigger problem here is toplete the mission our boss gave to us" She chimes in. Ein looks at Venus and lets out a grunt. He decides to not bother with Minor. B anymore. He needs to get ready for the war that is about to take ce. Ein "As I said before. Minor. B. You are in charge during this war. You will have two modified humans with you, along with your goons and an army of more than 5000 members. I hope you don''t disappoint the boss" Minor. B "Hahaha. Me? Disappointing the boss? Never, watch as I take what you couldn''t, hahaha" Minor. B said and walks outughing. Ein is visually pissed by this as his body quivers in anger. But he holds it in himself and even wishes that Minor. B fails so that the boss can teach him a lesson. __________________ Gengar makes his way back to Al, and it didn''t take him long at all. Within a few minutes, he makes it back to Al as nature''s resistance like air doesn''t affect him. He flies into Julian''s room and finds him feeding Crystal. Julian notices Gengar and smiles. Though he has only been away for a day, it still feels weird to not have Gengar lurking in his shadow as Gengar is his other eyes. Julian "So what did you find?" Julian asked. Gengar connected mentally with Julian and showed him everything that he had witnessed and heard. Once done, Julian frowned. If Cipher is nning an all-out war, then he will make sure to leave an example behind for anyone that tries to go against him. But first, he needs to warn the ind officials about this as a war will cause a lot of damage. Julian is confident that he will be able to keep most of Cipher away from the ind, but he cannot take care of them all. With the ind officials alerted, they will be able to keep Cipher at bay while Julian himself deals with Cipher''s main forces. Julian "Well then, tomorrow I should visit Jenny and inform her and ask her to be prepared for the uing war" He says to himself and goes to sleep for the night. ____________________ The next morning, Julian headed straight to the police station to warn Officer Jenny about Cipher''s n and help her with war preparation. He didn''t expect his expertise from his previous life wille to use here, but it is good to have something to rely on than to bepletely clueless. The situation around the police station is as usual. Very few officers are present, as the rest of them are out on petrol. Julian walks in and finds the station empty other than one officer at the desk doing his job. Noticing Julian''s presence, he puts his work aside and inquires Julian about his reason to visit. Julian "I want to talk to Officer Jenny, my name''s Julian" The officer nods and informs Jenny through an inte that someone named Julian is here to visit. As soon as his name is spoken, Jenny informs the officer to send Julian in quickly. "Officer Jenny has asked you in." The officer says while pointing toward Jenny''s office. Julian nods and enters and sees Jenny waiting for him inside with a smile on her face. Jenny "Wee, Mr. Julian" Chapter 1341: Test Battle Chapter 1341: Test Battle Jenny "Wee Mr. Julian" Jenny greets him with a pleasant smile on her face, and Julian nods back with a smile before greeting her. Julian "It''s a pleasure to meet you again, but my visit today is not a pleasant one" Jenny "Did something happen again?" She asked as her tone changed into a worrying one. Julian shakes his head in denial. Julian "It has been happening for a while, we thought that taking care of Team Skull will be the end of it but it is not" Julian said. Jenny "There is more?" She asks, concerned. Julian nods. Julian "I suspected that something was fishy when those local goons suddenly became very aggressive for no reason. So when I dealt with their leader I found out that they were hired to causemotion all over Al." Jenny "By whom?" Julian "Cipher, of course, they have had their eyes on Al for years now and they are getting desperate with their goals so they are making big moves" Jenny "What are they after?" Julian "They are after Al''s energy source, the Z-energy and Totem pokemons, who are most affected by it" Jenny "Why?" Julian "That I still do not know, but all these evil organizations just have one goal and that is to rule over the world" Julian said. Jenny "What are they nning to do right now?" Julian "They are nning a war against Al. They want to take over the ind before any reinforcements can be called for protection, so they are nning to brute force their way in with numbers. The whole thing with Team Skull was to distract the officials so they can easily take over Al while it is distracted by them but after I dealt with Team Skull their n failed. Now they areing straight in. You need to prepare your men. Inform all the other inds about it. Gather as many men as possible from each ind to defend the front lines so that no Cipher members can get in." Jenny "Wait, wait, wait, this is too much. You are saying that a war is about to take ce and they areing straight for our region. I have so many questions. When are theying? How many of them? How strong are they? How many men do we need?" She asks rapid questions in panic. Julian "Don''t worry about those things, you just need to gather as many capable men as soon as possible so that they can take care of any Cipher members that are able to set foot on the inds. As for their main force, I can take care of them" Jenny "You alone?" She asks questionably. Julian "Yes, I have a few methods to deal with them. You just worry about gathering forces to fight Cipher" Julian said. After talking for a few more minutes, he bid farewell to Jenny and decides to spend the rest of his day training his pokemons or maybe catch a Pokemon if he can find a suitable one. ____________________ Inside the depths of the lush forest, Julian is watching his pokemons battling each other. Well, it''s more one-sided schooling as his Marshadow is going against his Gengar. Marshadow summons multiple shadow balls and sts them toward Gengar like a Gatling gun. A chuckle escapes Gengar''s mouth seeing this move, as Gengar is the creator of this move. As multiple Shadow Falls continue hurling toward him, Gengar just swipes his hand and conjures a shadow hand, and swats away the Shadow Ball. The shadow hand then fists up andes down on Marshadow like a hammer. Marshadow tries to dodge seeing the iing attack, but to his surprise, the massive shadow fist follows behind him. Marshadow tries to cancel the massive shadow fist by sending multiple Shadow Balls at it, but they arepletely useless as they just explode on contact without causing any damage to the shadow fist. He looks around while still on the run, trying to find a way to avoid the shadow fist. Finding nothing else he can do, he looks at Gengar, who has a big cheeky grin on his face. Suddenly, Marshadow thinks of something and dashes towards Gengar as the shadow fist follows behind. Instead of trying to counter the shadow fist, Marshadow decides to attack Gengar instead, forcing him to defend himself. Of course, Gengar can easily deal with just tactics as the power difference between them is immense, but this is training, not a fight. So Gengar will have to hold back on some of his tricks. Marshadow''s ability to judge the battlefield and take optimal measures to counter his shorings impresses Julian, who is watching from the side. Gengar watched as Marshadow got closer to him as the shadow fist followed. As Marshadow was a few meters away from him, Gengar created a force field and stopped Marshadow dead in his track. Marshadow''s face met the invisible wall that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Marshadow now found himself between a rock and a hard ce. With the shadow fist right behind him and him being stuck against the invisible wall, he only has a few milliseconds to move out of the way. So by putting every ounce of strength into his whole body, Marshadow tries to shoot toward the sky. The shadow fist arrives and with the grace of luck, Marshadow dodges the shadow fist with just a hair length distance. He even felt the shadow fist graze his little feet. The shadow fist smashed into the invisible wall and exploded, and since Marshadow couldn''t really make much distance between him and the explosion, he got hit by it. He propelled through the air from the bacsh of the explosion but it is still better than directly getting squashed between a powerful shadow fist and an unbreakable invisible wall. Marshadow controlled his descent down toward the ground, but he is left in a bad state. The explosion did a lot of damage. Marshadow will not be able to hold on for much longer and, luckily for him, Julian decides to step in. Julian "Stop, that''s enough, Marshadow. You should rest. Gengar you too" Julian instructed. In the end, this is just a mock battle to test how good Marshadow can perform against a Pokemon that is leagues above him. Chapter 1342: The Looming War Chapter 1342: The Looming War Julian decides to stop the battle, as he has seen enough to begin Marshadow''s serious training and put him under some rigorous training starting tomorrow. But he also needs to focus on the uing events that might happen any day now. The threat of Cipher looms over Al and it clearly has an effect on the people of Al. Even though the people of Al have not been informed about the looming threat, they can sense that something is not right. The increase in the number of police forces and the presence of soldiers has been noticed by the people and they are questioning what is happening. Rumors about a war looming over their head are also spreading around the inds, as some information might have been leaked. Because of the rumors, some people on the inds have decided to leave Al to be safe while others decided to shut themselves inside their homes. There are still some people who continue to live their daily life as usual believing that it is just rumors at the end of the day and things will soon get back to normal. Julian knew this was normal. He knows that the silence before the war is chilling, but it is still a lot better than the war itself. Luckily, the people of the Al inds won''t have to experience it as they have the power to stop it right before it begins. During his previous life, he didn''t have any power, so he became a part of the war as he didn''t want to be a victim. But this time, he has the power to end the war before it even gets serious. Defeat the opposing forces so badly that they will never think of war ever again. Julian is going to cripple their hopes and dreams about world domination. That is why Julian is not going to hold back when Cipheres knocking on the doors of Al inds. He has some of his big hitters ready to end it grand. _____________________ Julian looked at all of his Pokemon running around and ying after they were done with their training. He has spent a considerable amount of time in Al but he has not caught many pokemons here. The past him would have already caught all the pokemons he would have wanted to catch or would be close topleting it. But here in Al, he has been a littlex. He wondered if he should get back to catching pokemons and collecting Z-crystals. Julian got distracted by the matters of Cipher, but once he deals with them, he is going back to catching and collecting pokemons and Z-crystals. Julian "Ok everyone, it''s time for lunch, then we leave" Julian said and prepared lunch for his pokemons. He was also sessful in preparing special recipes for Marshadow, who is loving the food. Once the pokemons were done with lunch, Julian put them back in their Pokeballs and went back into the city. The path back to the city is different than usual as there are very few people on the streets. He can feel the tension in the air but he expected it. War is the worst thing that could happen and it is natural to be afraid of it and be prepared for the worse. Almost all stores and stalls are closed making it look like the city has been abandoned. On the way, he saw some police officers and military men patrolling around to maintain control. This will be a sight people are expected to see until this war ends. At the end of the day, these things are necessary to make sure that suspicious personnel do not enter the inds when they are on the brink of war. Julian reached his hotel, which has also stopped taking in any more customers. The staff members noticed Julian and weed him like always. The members of the hotel are at least d that Julian is living in their hotel, making them a little secure about the current state of Al. Julian smiles and goes back to his hotel room, which is a mess. His clothes, along with somedies'' underwear, are on the floor. Of course, with his handsomeness and libido, it didn''t take him long to bring Officer Jenny to his hotel room in these short few days and make her his. With tensions rising, it doesn''t take long for people to find a way to release it. Jenny should being today as well, so he won''t be sleeping alone tonight. ______________________ Midnight_ On top of his bed, Julian and Officer Jenny lie naked. Jenny was exhausted from the intense exercise session that they had just gone through. Julian "How are your people handling the situation?" Julian asked. Jenny "They are all tensed because of the uing war. They all fear for their life. Some of them have be depressed." She answered with a sigh. Morale is very low amongst her people and fears the worst is yet toe. Julian didn''t say anything. Even though he can handle most of it on his own, he knows that even with all his powers, he can only do so much. He will need these people, as war isn''t fought by a single person. Julian "You should rest. It might happen any day now." Julian said and closed his eyes. Jenny hummed and hugged Julian as she felt a little scared. Even though Julian promised he would take care of it all, it doesn''t always end up as nned. Chapter 1343: Its Time Chapter 1343: It''s Time The beaches of Al are nowpletely surrounded by barricades and weapons. On the sandy ones, on the rocky ones, even on top of cliffs. Al is getting ready for war, and by now everyone on the ind knows that it is happening. With the sudden increase in the military presence on all the inds confirmed the rumors once and for all. The other regions realized that something was not right. They figured that Al was preparing for a war and wanted to assist, but it was toote. They suddenly have their own problems. Rouge militia has suddenly started attacking their borders. Now they have to focus their might on defending their ownnd instead of worrying about Al. Cipher was prepared. Even though they nned it through, they didn''t want unnecessary involvement with foreign forces. So they decided to keep them distracted. They hired mercenaries to attack all allied regions of Al while they marched their army toward Al and they were closer than ever. ____________________ Julian wakes up on his bed and looks at the sky outside. Though it is beautiful as the morning orange sky covers Al, Julian could feel that it is near. Though he himself couldn''t see them, it didn''t mean his Pokemon couldn''t. Julian has left Gyarados in charge of the Aln seas and he has been doing a great job. With his size and strength, he has united the waters of Al and now he has his own army of pokemons tomand. Julian knew that the soldiers of Al wouldn''t be fully ready for war, as they had never experienced it. And with a real war looming, they are afraid and their morals are down. So the next big thing Julian could think of are pokemons, and Al is a region with a great diversity of water pokemons. So who better to gather all of them under one banner other than his Gyarados? Gyarados''s minions have been scouting the oceans near Al and they have noticed human presence around and that too inrge numbers. This information was quickly given to Gyarados, making Gyarados annoyed. And since Julian has a connection with Gyarados, he can tell what Gyarados is feeling. He knows they are here, and it is time for war. Julian quickly gets ready and informs the important officials of Al that Cipher is here and they need to get ready. His warning caused amotion, making these officials get to work and start enforcing the beaches and borders of Al with soldiers and police officers. Some soldiers hoped on their flying pokemons and some boarded their flying vehicles and started scouring the surrounding waters of Al. And it didn''t take them long to find evidence of Cipher around these waters. Foreign ships and floating tforms proved their existence. Some of the soldiers even got attacked by cipher members and were captured. And the ones who didn''t get captured, rushed back to inform the officials that Julian''s information was legit. ____________________ On a remote isted ind very close to the Aln region is a temporary base set up by Cipher. A huge futuristic-looking building could be seen being surrounded by Cipher soldiers with vicious pokemons by their side. Inside the base in the main room, a man with a giant two-toned afro hairstyle is breaking it down to loud music being yed through therge speakers around the room. He seems to be enjoying himself, dancing to the beat when he is disturbed by two men entering the room. One of them is wearing a weird-looking hat that has two domes on it, while the other has blond hair styled like mes with orange tips. The whole group looks coo-coo. "Sir, we have captured a few Al soldiers," the hat-wearing guy says in a little annoyed tone. "They seem to have somehow figured out that we have already closed in," the blond-haired guy finishes the report. The afro-haired guy for a moment stops dancing and nces at his henchmen. "How did they figure it out?" he asked. "They seem to have been informed by Julian, the champion of Kanto," the hat guy said. "Julian who?" Miror. B, the man with the afro hair spoke as he had no idea who this Julian was. He is a man who lives his own little world and isn''t concerned by worldly matters. He even hateding here, but Ein forced him to do so by using the boss''s name. No matter how much he despises working, he is not foolish enough to go against the boss. "Sir, This Julian is the champion of Kanto and is arguably the strongest Pokemon trainer in the world. He has never known defeat," the blond-haired one spoke. Miror. B frowned upon hearing this piece of information, but he is not worried. Miror. B "Well it doesn''t matter if they know about our arrival or this undefeated Champion, he alone cannot change the tide of this battle. Victory will belong to us and I will soon be able to get out of this boring ind." His words were met by silence as his henchmen didn''t know what to say. Miror. B "What are you idiots waiting for? Inform the generals to get ready. We will attack today" Miror. B shooed them off and resumed the music. And his body automatically reacted to the music and started moving. A dancer through and through. Little did he know, his happy mood would soon be literally drowned underwater by Julian and his pokemons. Chapter 1344: It Begins Chapter 1344: It Begins Numerous soldiers can be seen standing all around Al armed to the brim. On top of that, they also had their Pokemon beside them to assist them. Not just soldiers on foot, but they were on high-tech hoverbikes that have been armed with high-powered firearms. The air forces back on the inds are also getting ready as they prepare for aerialbat. Massive stationary arteries have been stationed all around, with soldiers assigned to each to operate them. Amongst these snappy and nervous soldiers stands a man with jet-ck hair and crimson eyes. He is wearing his signature long ck coat and staring into the endless water body before him. Beside him is Jenny, and she is just as concerned as any other person around her, but she is putting up a tough front as she is amanding captain. Beside her is her Lycanroc, ready to attack on hermand. Other than the soldiers, the Kahunas of the inds are also right up front amongst the soldiers to fight the invasion of theirnd. Thend they swore to protect, no matter what it cost them. Fighting alongside Julian is the Kahuna of ind, Nanu. He is a dark-type trainer. He is an old man with short, grey hair. He wears a ck jacket over a red shirt and ck pants. He is a veryx and carefree man most of the time and doesn''t like to be bothered by anything, but even he is very serious right now. Kahuna Nanu cannot bex and carefree right now. He needs to fight for his ind. He needs to fight for Al.And just like Kahuna Nanu, the other Kahunas are also preparing for war on their own ind. But unlike Nanu, who is taking a backseat, the other Kahunas are taking it upon themselves to lead the people of their ind in this war. _____________________ The tension in the air can be cut through a knife like butter. The soldiers are gripping their weapons tightly, and the pokemons next to them are also getting nervous, sensing their trainer''s state of mind. Some soldiers are praying to the ind guardians to provide them with strength and protection. Officer Jenny, who is standing next to Julian, walks up to him and stands beside him. Jenny "When will they attack?" She asks. Julian "They are here, any minute now," Julianments as his eyes continue to stare at the endless sea in front of him. The sun has already risen over the horizon and the temperature is rising. The summer heat will soon start to affect the soldiers, and Julian knows that this is all part of Cipher''s n. They wanted to kill off any ounce of spirit the soldiers of Al had in them and the hot summer sun over their head is doing a really good job. On top of that, the armor they are wearing is thick and made for protection against lethal projectiles, they are not made for summer. Julian can see the hot sun affecting the soldiers, but as people who are about to go into battle, they need to put up a brave front. Julian knows what they are feeling because he has experienced it all, from the beginning to the end, and survived it. And now those memories are just a very tiny part of his life. He cannot help these people right now, but he can boost their confidence as the battle starts, which might help them a little to survive this war. ______________________ As the soldiers wait in anticipation for the enemy to appear. Julian, who has his eyes locked on the horizon, already knows that the enemies are here as he can feel Gyarados staring at them. Julian "They are here" Julian yells making all the soldiers tense up, some flinching because of his voice, and snapping them out of their state. As soon as they heard Julian''s words, they looked at the horizon and started to notice multiple ck dots flying towards them. At first, it didn''t seem that extreme, but soon things got scary. Multiple ck dots appeared on the horizon, and within a few secondspletely covered the horizon. It felt as if the darkness is slowly inching ever closer to them to devour them and they couldn''t do anything to cower in fear. Soon these ck dots covered every aspect of the Aln sky, and as these dots grew bigger, it became more clear that these dots are none other than fighter jets and attack choppers. Seeing such a massive army in front of them made the Aln soldiers''s blood run cold. They got scared, they thought they are going to die. Even Jenny and Nanu were worried seeing the massive army that is heading towards them and this is not even their full force. This is just the army that is attacking the ind, and they have several troops waiting behind as well. On top of that, the other inds are also getting attacked at the same time. Other than the attack helicopters, they could also see Cipher soldiers riding on top of flying pokemons. The enemy soldiers were not just limited to the skies as multiple Cipher soldiers were riding weaponized Wetbike and water pokemons. And they were quickly making their way towards the beaches of Al. Julian "Initiate attack" Julian ordered, and the massive artillery cannons started being fired at the iing forces. Powerful energy sts shot out of the cannons and destroyed anything they touched. Multiple enemy vehicles exploded in contact with these beams, which even affected the other vehicles around them, causing them to explode. But it is of no use, even with the damage they have done, there are just too many for them. They arepletely outnumbered and within a few minutes, they will getpletely overwhelmed. Seeing that their cannons had almost no effect on the iing army, the soldiers started to panic a little. Julian "Hyper beam" Julian voiced out. Hearing him, some of the soldiers who were around him were confused. Even Nanu and Jenny looked at him in confusion. Jenny opened her mouth to ask what Julian meant when her attention was suddenly grabbed by the sound of boiling water. She turned her head to look at the source of the sound and saw the water in front of her rising as the light started to seep out of the bulge. Suddenly, the water was prated, and a massive beam of light shot at the iing army beyond supersonic speed. Up on impact, there is destruction, and it doesn''t just stop there. The energy beam moved from one point of the horizon to the other creating a straight chain of explosions throughout the horizon. Every soldier saw this with their eyes wide open in shock, as they couldn''t believe what they were seeing. A destruction of such scale, they couldn''t evenprehend. Chapter 1345: A Secret Weapon? Chapter 1345: A Secret Weapon? The chain of explosions that expanded across the horizon in a straight line slowly started to fade away revealing a long empty space in the middle of the massive army. Every single person on the ind is shocked, ck-jawed, and overwhelmed by what they have just witnessed. However, it didn''t wipe out the entire battalion, and still have more than 90 percent of their army intact as their number is really impressive. But the disy of power shown by Julian is enough to give confidence to charge forward, knowing that if thingse to shove, they always have this option. Julian "What are you all waiting for? Charge" Julian finally spoke and ordered the soldiers to engage the iing army. Now that Julian has revealed his strength, the soldiers have gained confidence that they can win so with the arrival of hismand; the soldiers boarded their vessels and few towards the iing enemies to intercept them. Within seconds, the two armies collided, cannons were fired, and pokemons used their powers against each other. The entire ind shore was consumed with chaos. Julian watched as this chaos unfolded. Multiple explosions ur within seconds as both armies collide. Pokemons exchanged moves, and soldiers mmed into each other.He expected this. This is what a war looks like. Julian "We should join in as well. They aren''t going tost long without their leaders," Julian said while turning towards Officer Jenny and Nanu. Both of them nodded their head agreeing with Julian. They then hopped on their particr vehicle and flew into action, joining their soldiers in the battle. Not wasting any time, Julian also decided to join but first, he needed to take care of something. Julian [Gyarados, head to the other inds. Destroy the enemies.] He sent a telepathic message to Gyarados. Since he will be here to fight the battle, Gyarados can take care of enemies attacking the other inds. With hismand, Gyarados starts swimming towards the other ind and frightens both enemy and ally soldiers as they see his huge shadowy silhouette moving under the water''s surface. Seeing the shadowy silhouette, people near the water surface scrambled in fear as they didn''t want anything to do with this giant monster beneath them. Some of them sighed in relief as they saw it not giving them any attention and swimming away. And as soon as the ck silhouette was out of their sight, they engaged against each other once again. Noticing that Gyarados was already heading toward the other ind, Julian took out a Pokeball and called out, Charizard. Julian [Gengar, head forward and find out where themander is hiding.] Julian ordered and watched his shadow split into two. One is his original shadow, and the other is Gengar, zooming away to find his victim. Julian then hopped on Charizard''s back and joined the fight as well. ____________________ Back at the war base, Miror B is dancing to the music when his goons once again rush into his room with worried faces. Disturbed by their sudden appearance, Miror B was annoyed but he expected that these two idiots would soone running back to him but it was earlier than expected. He stops the music and gives a stern look to the two idiots in front of him. Miror B "What is it now?" He asks in a condescending tone. "Sir, our forces on ind suddenly suffered a huge amount of loss. The enemy seems to have a very powerful weapon," The blonde-haired goon spoke in a worried tone. Miror B. "What kind of weapon?" Miror B asked as he got curious. From the information he has gathered on Al, their fighting force is not that great and they don''t have any advanced weapons for military use. Since the Aln inds are far from the main continent and are a very small region, they have never faced an all-out war, so they never bothered to increase their military. So Miror B wondered where did Al get these above-mentioned weapons. "Don''t know, it was a huge energy beam that wiped out numerous of our soldiers across the sky," The other one spoke. Miror B "How many did we lose?" He asked. "We have already lost over 10000 soldiers that were assigned to ind," The blond-haired goon answered. Hearing this, Miror B frowned. It has only been a few minutes since they engaged in battle, but they have already lost 10000 soldiers. This is concerning to hear. Miror B "How many times have they used this weapon?" He asked as he wondered if they could fire this weapon at will or does it take time to recharge. With how his goons have described it, this weapon has a lot of firepower, so it must need a massive source of power. This is his theory. "Till now it has only been fired once but we have not been updated yet," The blond-haired goon spoke. Miror B "It''s fine for now. Keep me updated about this weapon and inform me as soon as it is used again" He said and resumed the music and started grooving to the beat of the music along with his pokemons. Chapter 1346: The Guardian Arives Chapter 1346: The Guardian Arives Though the oue of the very first exchange between Cipher and Al was not as Miror B had expected, he is still not worried. Even with this weapon that Al has, Miror B is confident in his army of well-trained soldiers led by elite trainers who can hold their own against some of the best Pokemon trainers in the world. And if this weapon causes any more nuisance, Miror B ns to move in himself and destroy the weapon. ____________________ On Melemele Ind, Kahuna H is fighting alongside Officer Jenny of the ind. Currently, they are getting overwhelmed by the army in front of them, their soldiers are getting pushed back and many Cipher soldiers have already set foot on the ind. Many police officers and soldiers are trying their best to ensure these cipher soldiers don''t get past them. "There are too many of them," Jenny yelled and shot the flying board that was approaching her, causing it to explode and making its rider fall into the ocean. "Don''t give up young Jenny, we need to fight to the end for our homnd," Kahuna H, who is beside her, is ordering his Hariyama to destroy anyone thates before him. But even his strength is not enough to hold off the massive number of enemy soldiers that are attacking them.Kahuna H doesn''t want to admit it, but he knows they have very few people tobat this massive army. He knows they are going to lose. He grits his teeth in anger and continues to fight. He vows to fight till his veryst breath. The massive cipher army starts to overwhelm the Melemele ind soldiers, who are quickly backed off into the ind. The ind''s massive guns are effective, but they cannot target multiple enemies at the same time, allowing the enemies to just swarm it and destroy it very easily. Melemele Ind is losing and just when Kahuna H thinks it is all over, the sky above the ind gets covered by dark clouds, which start to crackle with lightning. The sudden change in climate surprises everyone, and then suddenly thick bolts of lightning descend from the dark could and strike multiple warships of Cipher, destroying them in the process. The sudden destruction of their ships takes Cipher by surprise. They then question as to why only they were targeted by this lightning storm. But they didn''t have to wonder long because they heard a loud crying from Melemele ind. Suddenly, from the depths of the ind, a yellow light shes and rushes towards the cipher army. The yellow light, like the lighting, passes through numerous cipher soldiers, creating a light chain, zapping them with thousands of volts of electricity. Rendering them paralyzed. The yellow light then came to a stop and slowly fades away, revealing the figure behind it. It is none other than the protector of the Melemele ind. Tapu Koko, the ind guardian of Melemele ind. Seeing the ind''s guardian show itself, the Cipher soldiers started to get nervous. This is the Pokemon that has been talked about in legends. Known for being powerful and merciless. Themander in charge of this army quickly regains hisposure and yells at his army using an advanced sound-transmitting tool, which makes sure everyone hears him. "You idiots! It''s just a single Pokemon, no matter how strong it is. It won''tst long against our numbers." Hemanded his army to gang up on Tapu Koko. Many pokemons belonging to the Cipher armyunched the first wave of attack in an instant against Tapu Koko with their trainer''s instruction. Multiple special attacks ripped through the air and charged towards Tapu Koko. Seeing that it''s being targeted by so many at once, Tapu Koko uses its armor and encases itself inside it. All these attacks make contact causing a massive explosion and sending ripples down the ocean surface. Cipher soldiers watch in glee as they see the result of their action, but the smiles on their faces slowly disappear as the smoke fades away, revealing that Tapu Koko has barely been scratched. Themander sees this and frowns. "Attack!" he shouts and charges towards Tapu Koko along with his army. Seeing their guardian deity fighting for them, the morale of the Melemele ind soldiers increases significantly. Taking advantage of this, Kahuna H files them up andunches a counterattack. With high morale and newfound confidence in the Melemele soldiers, the sh between the two armies seems even for now. But this boost in morale and confidence dies down as time passes. They notice the Cipher''s army not showing any sign of slowing down. Especially the trainers who control the shadow pokemons. Their endless wave of attacks slowly drowned any offense Melemele Ind could muster up. Even the ind guardian Tapu Koko is having a hard time as it is getting attacked from every direction and exhaustion is creeping up. Even its hard armor cannot protect it forever against the onught that is being thrown its way. "Hahaha, who would have thought that we would get our hands on an Ind Guardian so soon? I might even get a promotion," themander in chargeughs aloud. "Capture it alive," he orders. Hearing his instruction, the cipher soldiers attacking Tapu Koko pulled out their best gun to capture it. But before they could fire the gun, everyone stopped as they heard a loudmotion in the water. Chaos seems to have descended in the water as multiple wild Pokemons started to jump out of the water in terror hitting anything and anyone that came in front of them. Cipher doesn''t know what is happening, but they are concerned by the sudden development because it is their army that is being affected right now. "Everyone get hold of yourself!" themander in charge orders out loud, but themotion from the chaos caused by the numerous wild pokemons is too much. "Fine, I will do it myself," Themander in charge says as he looks at Tapu Koko, who seems to be regaining its strength. Right now, his only objective is to capture Tapu Koko. He doesn''t even give themotion taking ce a single thought. He speeds up his hover tform towards Tapu Koko with an ultra ball in his hand. He is thinking about capturing it. Just as he is about to capture Tapu Koko, the water beneath Tapu Koko slowly starts to rise. This sudden urrence instantly garners everyone''s attention. They watch in awe as this massive water pir arises. Even Tapu Koko can''t help but turn and look at the water pir that is rising behind it. The pir of water then falls back into the ocean revealing the monstrosity that was hidden behind it. Everyone''s eyes go wide as they try to make sense of the monster they are looking at. A massive red Gyarados standing tall over everyone. "I..i..is that a fucking Gyarados?" Themander in charge shouts. Chapter 1347: Utter Destruction! Chapter 1347: Utter Destruction! The humongous Gyarados terrified everyone, especially themander in charge as he felt the Gyarados''s fierce gaze being directed right at him. "What the fuck is going on?" he questions with utter dread as he sees the Gyarados open its maw and charge up a Hyper Beam. Themander in charge freezes in his spot, as he is overwhelmed by his situation. "Mommy," is the only word he could utter before Gyarados released his Hyper Beam and incinerated anything that touched it. Gyarados doesn''t stop with just incinerating the very first person he sees, instead, he continues sting his Hyper Beam by moving his head around incinerating massive amounts of Cipher fleet within a few minutes. This massive army that was not showing any sign of slowing down or reducing in numbers has now suddenly been halved in number. Satisfied with the destruction he has made, Gyarados lets out a low growl of satisfaction. This causes every person present on the battlefield to feel their whole body vibrate. Even though the soldiers fighting for Melemele ind have not been targeted by the Gyarados, they feel terrified seeing the monster. Lucky for them, Gyarados is done with his job here. He submerges into the water and disappears as if he had never been there from the very beginning. The first person to recover from the shock is Kahuna H. He doesn''t know where this Gyarados came from and why it only targeted the Cipher army, but he isn''t going toin.And as he sees the state of the enemy''s army, he gets excited. Now they have the upper hand in this battle. "People of Al, this is our chance. Let''s drive these evil-doers away and protect our homnd from their evil intentions," Kahuna H shouts and charges forward. Seeing their Kahuna charge toward the weakened enemy, the soldiers once again regain their confidence andunch another wave of attack. Tapu Koko also manages to recover from its shock and joins the Melemele army for another counterattack And this time, the soldiers of the Melemele ind are overwhelming the Cipher army. They are being destroyed, as they arepletely outnumbered and outgunned. Within a few minutes, the whole situation now has taken a drastic turn as the Cipher army is retreating while the Melemele army is chasing after them. ______________________ Back at the Cipher war base, Miror B is pping his hands in rhythm and watching his pokemons dance to his tune. Miror B is not having a good day as he is being disturbed by his minions continuously throughout the day. He just wants to dance and teach his pokemons how to dance. And just as he is about to lower his guard, as it''s been some time since his goons have not disturbed him, they came running in with panic written all over their faces. "Boss, something terrible has happened," one of them yells as soon as he enters Miror B''s room, snapping Miror B out of his joyous state. Miror B gets very frustrated but he can''t do much as they are in the middle of a war right now. Miror B "What is it now?" He asks with an annoyed tone. "Sir, our army that was attacking the Melemele ind has been defeated. More than half of them are dead and some of them have been captured. Commander John is also dead," the minion informs. Miror B suddenly stops being frustrated and bes concerned. Miror B "How did this happen?" he asks. "Boss, you remember that weapon we told you about?" one of them asks. Miror B "You are telling me there is more than one?" Miror B frowns as he assumes that Al has more than one of these powerful weapons that can destroy and cripple armies. If this is true, then winning this war might be way harder than he expected. "No sir, it is only one. In fact, it''s not a weapon at all," the minion says in a nervous tone. Miror B "Then what is it?" Miror B questions with a frown. "I.. it''s a Pokemon, a 25-meter-long red Gyarados," the minion says but even he can believe the words that came out of his mouth. Miror B "Hmm so it''s a 25-meter-long Gyarados... Wait! What the fuck did you just say?" Miror B exims and almost loses his bnce. "A 25-meter-long Gyarados," the minion repeats his words. Miror B "How the fuck can there be a 25-meter-long Gyarados? It doesn''t even make sense!" His minions had no answer to his question. Miror B "Do you even know who controls it?" he asks. "Boss, I believe this Pokemon belongs to the Champion Julian," one of them says with a meek tone. Miror B "Who?" "The previous champion of Kanto, the undefeated champion, the strongest trainer. Our records show that he is the only one in possession of a red Gyarados that''s bigger than a normal-sized one," the minion says. Miror B finally takes a seat with a defeated look. Miror B "What the fuck is he doing here?" He questions as his head starts to hurt. This war is turning into a nightmare for him. Chapter 1348: Complete Destruction Chapter 1348: Complete Destruction Back on Melemele ind, the losing situation that they were in has been turnedpletely upside down because of the appearance of the massive Gyarados. The soldiers are still confused as to what happened, but none of them areining because they have won. They have captured all Cipher survivors as prisoners of war and are being taken to the ind, where they will be locked up until their fate is decided by the court ofw. Kahuna H is standing on the beach with Officer Jenny beside him as they watch over their soldiers taking in the prisoners of war. H "Do you know what was that?" Kahuna H asks as he recalls the incident that took ce, the sudden appearance of that massive Gyarados changed the course of the battle in their favor and H is very d that it happened because he had no confidence in defeating the enemy, but his concern doesn''t end here. The existence of the massive Gyarados itself is the problem, it doesn''t matter if the Gyarados is on friendly terms because a wild Pokemon that is not under control is a threat to society, and a Pokemon like that Gyarados is a threat to a whole country. Jenny "I think I have an idea," Jenny says. The moment the Gyarados appeared, she suspected that it had something to do with Julian as he was the one who set up the current stage of this war. H "What is it?"He asks. Jenny "I believe it is rted to Mr. Julian. Everything that has happened till now has gone exactly as he nned," Hearing her, H takes a moment of silence. H "I hope you are right," He says and heads back into the ind to check on themon people of the ind. ________________________ Back on ind, Julian is causing havoc as he rains fire on top of the enemy soldiers. Charizard''s fire burns hotter than ever and no amount of resistance is effective against him. Charizard sts his methrower into the iing hundreds and hundreds of enemy soldiers and pokemons and destroys them on impact. Seeing a single person on top of his Charizardpletely destroying anyone in front of them, no matter the number, set fear into the hearts of the Cipher soldiers. So none of them dared to approach the man riding the Charizard and if he chased after them, they made a run for their life, abandoning their position, as they didn''t want to die a pointless death. It is not just Julian who has be a huge source of headache for the Cipher army attacking the ind. As they tried to swarm ind with sheer numbers, they thought they had the upper hand, even with Julian''s involvement. But things took a drastic turn with a special Pokemoning forth ruining their n. Before the army could even step onto the inds, massive tree vines and branches shot out of the ground and started whacking them as if they were unwanted insects, destroying their army in massive numbers. The Cipher army didn''t know what hit them until the culprit stepped forth. It was none other than the ind guardian of the ind, Tapu Bulu. But even with the destruction Julian and Tapu Bulu were causing, they alone couldn''t take them all out, and indcked soldiers to fight their war. Charizard is also not on a levelparable to Julian''s Gyarados, or Infernape, where the number bes insignificant. Julian needs to bring out the big hitters. He takes out a Pokeball from his dimension pocket and releases one of his heavy hitters. As soon as this Pokemon takes the stage, dark clouds start forming in the sky, lightning starts to crackle, and thunder rumbles. Lightning starts to shoot down and surround this Pokemon, changing the maic field around him and allowing him to levitate. With a big grin on his face, Julian''s Electivire looks at the field filled with victims, waiting to be electrocuted. He then turns to look at Julian waiting for him to give him the order. Julian "Go wild," Julian says, seeing that Electivire is barely able to contain his excitement. Receiving Julian''s nod, Electivire can finally go wild. The dark clouds started to spread farther apart and get bigger, while more lightning started to crackle, causing massive shes of light. Seeing the sudden change in weather scared everyone present in the vicinity. Especially the Cipher soldiers, as the Pokemon that is causing these changes is owned by their opposition. "We need to get the fuck out of here," one of the soldiers murmured. He didn''t care if the Cipher came hunting for him after this war. He would rather face the cipher than go against this lightning monster in front of him. Just like him, many other soldiers are also having the same thought. The lightning is getting brighter and longer while the thunder is getting louder. "RUN!!!" One of the soldiers shouts and turns his vehicle in the opposite direction to make a run for his life. And with him being the first, the rest soon follow seeing his example. Themander in charge panics seeing his men trying to flee. Commander "What the fuck are you all doing? How dare you all try to abandon yourrades? I swear to kill you all!" Themander in charge continues to shout, but no one listens to him. Unlucky for the ones trying to escape, they don''t realize that there is no escape. Electivire giggles as he sees flocks of people trying to escape. He raises his hands,manding the lighting around him and in the sky, and lunges his hands at the Cipher army. With just this one motion, multiple lighting starts shooting down from the sky and start hitting the Cipher soldiers and their Pokemon. Lighting from Electivire''s hands especially targets the ones that are trying to escape. As soon as the lightning makes contact with one person, it branches out and hits another cipher member close by, forming a root chain of electricity. Thousands of Cipher members get zapped by the lightning within a second. Destroying their entire army. Chapter 1349: Overestimated And Underestimated Chapter 1349: Overestimated And Underestimated It is over just like that. An army that numbered thousands was taken out within seconds. Everyone who isn''t a victim of Electivire''s lightning is in shock. And why wouldn''t they be? An army that was overwhelming them a few seconds ago is nowpletely incapacitated. Julian ''It was overkill, but well, it''s already done.'' Julian thought as he saw every cipher soldier unconscious floating on top of the water. Luckily, Julian teaches all of his pokemons to practice restraint when ites to attacking humans because they are very fragilepared to pokemons. He then presses the earpiece on his ear connecting himself to Officer Jenny. Julian "Officer Jenny, it''s Julian. I need your men to clean up the waters" ____________________ Just like every other person on ind who has been spared from Electivire''s lightning, Jenny is also in shock by the scale of destruction that just urred. And before she could process everything that had just happened, she received direct instruction from Julian.Being a professional who has been trained to be calm in tough situations, she quickly got her thoughts together and started giving orders. Soon, the soldiers under Jenny''smand started bringing the unconscious Cipher soldiers onto the ind and put them behind bars as war prisoners. Julian watched from atop Charizard from the sky as soldiers took the Cipher soldiers into custody. Julian ''Gengar should be here any minute now'' Julian thought and turned his head to look at Electivire floating alongside him. Julian "I want you to head to the other inds and take care of the enemies," Electivire [Elec... electivire] Electivire nods his head and floats away. _____________________ While Julian was cleaning up the battlefield with Electivire''s help, Gengar was enjoying his time here at the Cipher outpost. He arrived here with Julian''s instruction and decided to stay for a while, having fun messing with a few Cipher soldiers. Tripping their feet so that they fall face first on the ground, Pull down their pants to embarrass themselves in front of theirrades. Shaving their head bald, especially the females, to make them cry. He is an evil SOB. But his fun had toe to an end as he remembered why he was here. He was here to scout out the outpost where the leader of this army was hiding. So after tying up the shoces together of onest cipher soldier. With his speed and detection skills, it wasn''t hard for Gengar to cover the whole ind within minutes, and he quickly found out where his target was located. Gengar entered the main building and felt rhythmic vibrationsing from a certain direction. He followed the source of the sound and found a big room with a disco ball hanging on the roof. Loud music red from surround sound speakers that are fitted all over the room and right in the middle of the room''s floor is a dance stage currently being used by a tall man with a huge afro hairstyle which has been colored red and white, separating the two colors right down the middle. Gengar watched with curious eyes as he saw the man dance along with his pokemons. Gengar "gegegegegege" Gengar couldn''t help but giggle as he saw the scene in front of him. Every fiber in Gengar''s body wanted to mess with the dancing man, but Gengar decided not to, as he needed to get back to Julian ASAP. ______________________ As Julian waited over the waters, Gengar arrived in front of him out of nowhere. He then turned to look at his best friend, Electivire, and waved at him. Electivire waved back with his signature grin. The two friends couldn''t want to hang out together and fool around. Julian "So, do you have the location?" Julian asks Gengar. Gengar nods and connects his mind with Julian''s to share his knowledge. Within seconds, Julian now knows the ins and outs of this garrison. Julian "Now that''s done, you two go and take out the armies on the other inds. I have a meeting with this character," Julian says and pats Charizard''s head, instructing him to move. Charizard roars and sets off toward the isted small inds near the main Aln inds. Gengar and Electivire then look at each other before bursting out giggling. They already have a n formted for their victims without even speaking a word. ________________________ Julian followed Gengar''s memories and soon came across a cluster of small inds connected. These inds arepletely inhabitable, as they have no vegetation, and most of the inds would be underwater by the end of the day. It also seems to be the perfect ce to set out garrisons for an army that numbers in thousands when you n to invade an ind region. Julian kept his distance and observed from afar, far enough to not get noticed by the soldiers on guard. Julian "Looks like I overestimated my opponents and underestimated myself," Julian says to himself as he realizes something very significant about himself. Chapter 1350: A World Too Weak All this time that Julian has spent in this world, most of it has been spent traveling and exploring it. Meeting new people, tasting new foods, finding new ces, and catching new pokemons which he then trains to be stronger. He genuinely enjoys it. It''s like seeing his own kids training and growing stronger in front of his eyes, and the perfect example would be Infernape. Infernape has been with him since the very beginning, as he was just a little Chimchar. Chimchar grew stronger through training and evolved into Monferno, and then into Infernape, but it wasn''t the end. Infernape continued to grow stronger, and the bond between them increased even further. Julian can''t ever imagine a life without Infernape by his side. Now Infernape has grown so much stronger that Julian doesn''t even know how strong he is. Of course, he knows the stats that Infernape has but he doesn''t know how they apply to the real world. Is it enough to destroy a whole country or maybe even the whole? And it''s not just Infernape. His Snox, Gengar, Electivire, and many of his very first pokemons have reached a level where they can be considered a natural threat. As he continued to travel, he caught new pokemons, focused on training them, and then used them to fight other pokemons, and in process made them grow stronger. The biggest threats that Julian has faced to this day are not humans but pokemons, pokemons that can change the climate, alternd mass, control winds, and have power over space and time. These are things that are beyond any human''s control, sure they have been a factor in those battles of his, but they yed very insignificant roles when Julian looks at it through a grander lens.That''s what they are, insignificant. Julian hase to a realization that he has exceeded what this world can offer. Sure, there are always new challenges with newer pokemons to catch and train them to grow stronger. But if he was forced to choose his best pokemons and go against the world, he realized that they stood no chance. No matter how strong the opposition is, he can crush them all with ease. His previous beliefs that one man cannot win a war have changed. In this world, he doesn''t need an army to fight a war. He and his pokemons are all he needs. But to do so, he needs to be more serious and lethal in his methods. With this new realization, he couldn''t help butugh awkwardly at his situation. If this power belonged to someone else, they could have easily taken over the world and established a rule that no one could question, not even the strongest of legendary pokemons of this world. With this, he also realized that he doesn''t have any great ambitions like world domination or bing the strongest, he just wants to have fun traveling, meeting new people and pokemons, and on the way, cleaning up some mess like these buffoons that are below him. "Looks like I should clear this up," he says and decides to take action. "Charizard, down," he orders. Charizard ps his strong wings and dives at incredible speed. ___________________ The Cipher soldiers who are on patrol suddenly get alerted by a sharp beeping sound from their wrist devices. They panic and look at their device to see that an intruder is approaching. *INTRUDER ALERT* *INTRUDER ALERT* *INTRUDER ALERT* Sound starts to ze through the speakers alerting every Cipher Soldier on the ind. They all look up and start aiming their gun at the sky while also bringing out their pokemons, ready to bombard their intruder. But to their surprise, they only see a single dot approaching them from the sky. At first, they feel likeughing at the situation, but they hear their leader''s order to annihte the intruder and not hold back. As they are just ordinary soldiers, they cannot go against their leader''s order, so they start bombarding the iing dot with firepower and pokemon moves while pitying the intruder. ____________________ Julian sees the iing attack and sighs. "Protect" Julian orders. Charizard forms a dome of energy in front of him as he continues to fly forward. Within seconds, the very first round of energy beams and bullets start making contact with the Protect energy dome, but they are all useless as they eitherpletely lose their energy in an explosion or get deflected by it. Charizard flies right through the bombardment andnds hard on the ind causing a few meters around thending zone to shake violently. The cipher soldiers in the vicinity felt their whole body shake as they lost their bnce and fall on their asses. They get nervous and look up at the dust that has risen; they try to get back to their feet as the dust slowly settles down. As the dust finally settles down, the silhouette of a man and a Pokemon is revealed. The man is wearing a long ck coat with ck hair and bright crimson eyes while the Pokemon standing next to him is a massive ck Charizard. They both look intimidating, especially the Charizard, who has a blue fire spewing out of its mouth. ''I''m fucking dead'' is the thought of many soldiers as they see the intruders. Chapter 1351: Fire Tornados Though many cipher soldiers were intimidated by the domineering entrance of Julian and Charizard, they still raised their weapons and pointed at them. Their pokemons beside them also tensed up as they felt the clear miss match between themselves and Charizard but continued to stand their ground as they have the numbers advantage. "What are you idiots doing? take him down," A leader saw this and shouted and was also the first person to open fire on Julian. Following his order, the other soldiers also started firing their guns at Julian and Charizard. They also ordered their pokemons to attack them with their special attacks. Julian "Protect" Julian orders. Charizard lets out a powerful roar and creates a dome of energy around himself and Julian, protecting them from the onught that has beenunched at them. Bullets,ser beams, pokemon moves, all of them make contact with the Protect energy dome and explode on impact. The energy released from all these explosions is immense as itpletely rips the air out of the atmosphere and causes a powerful shockwave to shoot out in all directions.Every Cipher soldier holds their ground to resist the shockwave while also keeping an eye on the massive cloud of fire, smoke, and dust that has risen from the impact. No one thinks that the intruder survived that. Even a second-rate legendary Pokemon will get overwhelmed by such power. But as the smoke settles down, everyone is left in shock as both the man and the ck Charizard arepletely fine. There is not even a scratch visible on them. Julian "You boys had your fun, now it''s my turn." Julian says and looks at Charizard. Julian "Fire Tornados" Hearing Julian''s order, Charizard takes in a huge breath and sts blue me onto the ground. These mes then start to rise up high and form five distinct fire pirs. These pirs then start to spin like a tornado creating five violent fire tornados. The cipher soldiers watched in horror as these fire-tornados started to rage with violent speed and power, and with a simplemand from Charizard, the fire-tornados started their rampage. "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!" one of the cipher soldiers shouted and bolted out of there as fast as he could while his Pokemon ran after him with equivalent fear. As soon as the first person made his escape, the rest followed. Just a few seconds ago these soldiers were pitying the intruder for his brazen attempt to infiltrate their garrison but now they are trying to make a run for their life. Too bad for them. The fire tornados are not something one can just run away from. Not only are they incredibly hot, but they also suck and engulf anything that is before them and, as they move forward, they turn anything that they engulfed into fuel to grow bigger. The fire tornados spread out instantly while growing in size simultaneously. Cipher members and their pokemons who were closest to the tornados were instantly sucked into the tornados. The leader in charge of this garrison looked at the developing situation in horror as everything went out of control within seconds. He can only watch in horror as a fire tornado approaches him. So, without wasting any time, he did the only thing he could think of. Warn the other soldiers on the ind that an unstoppable threat has appeared on their base. _____________________ Music continues to re inside Miror. B''s room, as he doesn''t show any sign of slowing down with his desire to continue dancing along with his pokemons. But once again his fun is interrupted, this time not by his goons, but by the ring sound of rms going off. "What the fuck is happening now?" he asks out in anger and looks at his main screen to see the red light shing in bold red letters saying intruder alert. "Ah man, I was having such a great time," he sighs and recalls all his pokemons back to their Pokeball and steps out of his room. As he does so, he sees his two goons rushing towards him with panic written all over their faces. Miror. B "Who is it?" Goon 1 "We don''t know, but it''s very bad sir," Miror. B "How bad is very bad?" Goon 2 "The intruder has a very strong Pokemon, Garrison 1 has already been wiped out" Miror. B "So soon?" He asks with a concerned tone. Goon 1 "It all happened in one fell swoop. Our soldiers didn''t stand a chance" Miror. B "~sigh~ Fine, I will do it myself," He says and takes the lead as he goons follow right behind him. ________________________ Julian continues to advance forward as Cipher soldiers are running for their lives as the fire tornados keep raging. Some brave soldiers try to intercept him with their guns and pokemons but they get sted off their feet by Charizard. Julian "So this is it," He says as he looks at the main base of the cipher army. Julian "st it open," Julian orders and Charizard uses a methrower and sts open the tightly locked thick metal door and sends it crashing through the passageway. With the door sted open, several cipher soldiers rushed out with guns in their hands and started shooting immediately at Julian. Their pokemons also seem to have no qualms in holding back against Julian. Since all their attacks came from a narrow corridor, it was very easy to defend. Julian "Protect" Julian orders. Charizard creates an energy dome and easily resists the assault that is being thrown at them. The bombardment continues and cracks start to appear on the Protect shield. But before the cracks can spread, Charizard reinforces it with more energy causing the cracks to disappear. Julian "They seem pretty adamant about not letting us in." He says as the bombardment keeps oning. Charizard may have the energy to hold up the Protect barrier, but even he cannot take on all these attacks as they will slowly chip away at his health. Not wanting to waste his precious time, he taps his front pocket lightly. He is about to unleash a monster like no other on these poor presents, and they have no idea how terrifying this little mouse demon is. Chapter 1352: It Loves Playing Chapter 1352: It Loves ying As Charizard continues to hold on against the overwhelming amount of attacks thrown at him, a small mouselike head pops out of Julian''s front pocket. "Mew?" Crystal tilts its little cute head and watches the explosion taking ce around it. Its ruby eyes shine with excitement as it sees the chaos happening all around itself. It then looks up at Julian like a little kid asking for their parent''s permission. Though Julian is a little hesitant to release this little Gremlin, he decides to do it anyway. Crystal has not seen any action for quite a while, and being the child that Crystal is, it needs some stimtion to burn its fuel. Julian "Go wild," Julian says with a smile. Immediately Crystal shoots out of Julian''s pocket and torpedos itself toward the energy barrier that Charizard continues to maintain, blocking all iing attacks. A chill runs down Charizard''s back as he senses Crystal heading towards him. Being Crystal''s junior, Charizard is well aware of the terror that Crystal is, as he has been a victim of many pranks orchestrated by Crystal. Being the beast that Charizard is, he can handle the toughest of opponents. If he was given the option of either fighting Julian''s Infernape or Crystal, he would choose Infernape. Infernape will pity him and put him down in an instant, but Crystal likes to y. To Crystal, it is just ying. But to pokemons it is ying with, it''s torture.Luckily for Charizard, Crystal is noting after him. It zooms right past him and just plops through the energy shield without damaging it one bit, just like going through a veil of water. One of the Cipher soldiers that is on attack notices somethinge past through the shield that they are trying to break. "Hey, what''s that?" he asked as he looked at the kitten-like Pokemon with two tails and a red crystal on its forehead. "Whatever it is, it looks like a rare Pokemon. We should capture it," another one suggests as his eyes also fall on the tiny Pokemon. "I don''t know man, that thing just passed through that barrier like it was nothing while we are struggling to even put a crack on it," the smart one in the group says but of course, no one listens to the smart one. "Oh,e on, look at that thing, it''s so tiny, what can it do?" another one says and rubs his hand with excitement. If he can capture this little Pokemon, his superior will reward him greatly. "Houndoom, use methrower," The excited one orders his Houndoom to attack the tiny Pokemon. Little did he know, he had made the biggest mistake of his life. As soon as the methrower was shot at Crystal, Crystal thought that they were ying y fight so without wasting a breath, it decided to y. "MEWWWW!" with cheerful excitement Crystal rushes towards the iing methrower with no shielding. "weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!" Crystal dives into the methrower with a big smile. "Yes, direct hit," the soldier says with excitement, but the excitement in his eyes instantly fades away as he sees the methrower getting pierced through by something. "Fuck!" he says as he finally sees the little fur ball with a smile heading right at him. Crystal crashed into the Houndoom knocking the wind out of it and then sending it straight into its owner and the surrounding soldiers, who then got the wind knocked out of them and they too were sent off their feet and into the soldiers standing behind them. The impact of this tackle was so powerful that a chain reaction started and continued until no soldier was standing behind the other. All of them are now out cold on the ground, foaming from their mouth. Witnessing the scene, Crystal let out a cheerful giggle and pped its little arms while the other Cipher soldiers watched with shock and bamboozlement. "What the heck is that?" one of them questions. "Whatever it is, bring it down," themanding soldier ordered. Every soldier that is still standing locked their eyes on Crystal and then ordered their pokemons to bring it down. Of course, to these soldiers, their pokemons are living weapons that can take down the toughest of opponents, but to Crystal, they are just ymates. And them attacking Crystal will just make it think there is more ying that needs to take ce. Now that all Cipher soldiers'' attention is on Crystal, Charizard is left alone to breathe a little. Julian, on the other hand, just watches the show take ce. As soon as Crystal gets attacked, it retaliates with equal power to cancel all attacks. Crystal then proceeded to humiliate and bully an entire battalion of soldiers all alone and left them crying. They are tired, frustrated, and unable to figure out how to deal with the little giggling devil. "Sir, what do we do with it?" one of the soldiers questions and tears and sweat are running down his face. His Pokemon is not in great shape either as it is breathing heavily as well. "Attack more. It should be exhausted as well. We still have the number advantage." The leader says while breathing heavily. So the soldiers once again begin their attack. Julian has had enough. He doesn''t want to waste any more time. Julian "Crystal, end this," He orders. "me~" Crystal mewed in disappointment as it wanted to y a little more but Julian''s words were final. So it lifted its little hands up in the air and started gathering energy. A tiny shiny ball of energy starts to form on top of its head. The tiny shiny energy ball then starts to grow in size, the surrounding air starts to get wavy, and the temperature in the room increases drastically. Julian "Shit," Julian says as he realizes that Crystal has gathered too much energy. Julian [Gengar, I need a shield,] Julian sends a mental message to Gengar, as Charizard isn''t strong enough to tank something like this. Suddenly, an energy shield spreads out and engulfs both Charizard and Julian separating them from the rest. As for the energy ball, it is no longer tiny. It is now the size of a wreaking ball and it is about to wreak everything. Chapter 1353: Total Wipeout Chapter 1353: Total Wipeout Every cipher soldier is pale in fright as they see the energy ball the size of a wrecking ball hovering over the tiny Pokemon that can fit in the palm of their hand. As for why they are fearing for their life? They can all feel the destructive energying off of the massive energy ball. The drastic increase in temperature, the vibration in the air, the pulse of energy that they are feeling in every cell of their being, they know they are cooked. "run~" the leader tried to scream, but he choked and the voice that came out of him sounded more like a whimper. Well, it doesn''t matter if he tried to warn his soldiers or not, many of them have already turned their back on Crystal and are trying to make a run for their lives. "Mew~" Crystal voices out and brings down the energy ball towards the ground. As soon as the energy ball touches the ground, it expands in an instant, devouring everything in its path: metal, tiles, people, pokemon, even colors. Everything turns white. No one can see anything because everything is white. When this massive dome of white light fades away, the only thing remaining is a massive crater that spans about 200 meters in diameter. And in the middle of the crater is every cipher soldier and their pokemons piled up on top of each other. Luckily for them, they have been just knocked out.The scary thing about this is if Crystal wanted, even their ashes would have not remained behind. If not for Julian teaching Crystal to practice restraint when dealing with people and pokemon, these people and pokemons would have been wiped out from the face of this world. Remember that Crystal just wiped out half of the base that is made of reinforced metal. Even the hard ground underneath the base has disappeared. Charizard looks at the oue with bulging eyes, as it is something beyond hisprehension. It is not the size of the damage, but how Crystal did it. Creating a crater this size is nothing to Charizard, butpletely removing atoms and molecules from the affected area is something he deems impossible. Charizard now has apletely new perspective on his seniors'' power level. ___________________ Miror. B is making his way out with long strands. He wants to defeat this intruder and make an example out of him. His goons are right behind, following him with fake confidence as they believe their leader will be able to deal with this intruder. As Miror. B continued storming on, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as he saw a white wall suddenly appearing inches away from his face. "What the fuck!!" he exims as he feels a hot burst of air hit his face and then followed up by a tingling sensation that travels all over his body. A chill runs down his spine as he feels impending doom wash over him. He doesn''t even realize that his body has already started sweating. He is not alone. Even though his goons are a little further away from him and the white wall, they both are experiencing the same symptoms. Miror. B doesn''t move from his spot as he feels that he might die if he makes even a small movement. Luckily for him, he is not going to die. The white wall in front of him slowly starts to disappear and what he sees next shocks him. He sees a smooth massive crater in front of him and right in the middle are his soldiers, piled up on top of each other, knocked out cold. Miror. B then slowly turns his head around trying to find anything out of ordinary when his eyes fall on a ck Charizard, a man wearing a long ck coat, and a tiny floating pokemon. As Miror. B looks at them, they look at Miror. B. It''s a staring contest for a whole minute. Miror. B "You two, what are you staring at? Attack him," Miror. B makes the first move as staring at each other won''t do much. His goons, who are as bamboozled as him, also snap out. They quickly bring out their pokemon, one sends out a Golbat and the other sends out a Yanma. Both are flying pokemon so they were easily able to ignore the massive crater and rush toward Julian with lethal attacks. Julian "Crystal,e back. Charizard, use methrower," Julian first calls Crystal back and then orders Charizard to take care of the nuisance. The two pokemons couldn''t even see what hit them before they were sent sting back to their trainers. Miror. B frowned. Miror. B ''This is going to be significantly harder than I thought,'' He thinks and makes his way towards Julian. Chapter 1354: Three Vs One Chapter 1354: Three Vs One Miror B stands opposite Julian with a menacing stare in his eyes. Though he is a very mellow person, he knows how to toughen himself when shit hits the fan. Plus, failure is not an option for him because failure will result in his death. He is too young and handsome to die. He needs to take down this intruder and win this war. Miror B "You must be Julian, I heard a lot about you" Julian "And I don''t know who you are," Julian ps back, but in all honesty, he doesn''t know who this Miror B is. "Miror B "Well, you will know everything about me soon enough," he says and sends out multiple pokemons into battle. Beedrill, Loudred, and Ludicolo. Three pokemons entered the battlefield from Miror B''s pokeballs. Miror B "You are going down," These words,ced with fierceness.Julian looks at his Charizard standing next to him and signals him to step forward. Charizard growls and ps his wings, leaping forward. He snarls at the three pokemons in front of him. Julian "Go on then, what are you waiting for?" Julian taunts him. Miror B "Those will be yourst words," He deres and starts his attack. Miror B "Beedrill use Poison Jab. Loudred, use Hyper Voice. Ludicolo, use Water Pulse." Since Miror B''s pokemons all have only one target, they don''t need to n out much as they are attacking. The first to make the move is Loudred, as Hyper Voice is the fastest attack to perform out of the three called. Ludicolo then waves its arms around creating a ball of glowing water. Beedrill focuses poison energy into itsnce-like arms making them glow purple. Julian "Protect, Dragon Tail, Dragon w," Julian proceeds to call out three moves. He doesn''t tell Charizard how to use them, as Charizard is already a very experienced fighter. He should be able to handle these three pokemons with ease. The Hyper Voice strikes first, but Charizard is quick enough to create a protective shield in front of him. The Hyper Voice hits the energy shield causing ripples to travel through it, but the moves eventually cancel each other out. But as soon as the energy shield disappeared, the Water Pulse was right there, ready to hit Charizard, but Charizard''s battle scene kicks in. He instantly does a spin while channeling his tail with dragonic energy. His tail glows light blue as powerful energy rips the surrounding air. Charizard spins so fast that this glowing tail creates a light streak. He uses Dragon Tail and makes contact with the Water Pulse, instantly shattering it with brute force. Water sshes everywhere as the Water Pulse is destroyed. But the danger has not passed. As soon as the Water Pulse is destroyed, Charizard senses the disturbance in his surroundings. He senses Beedrill rushing towards him before he evenys his eyes on it. Beedrill beelines toward Charizard with itsnce-like hands aimed toward him,ced with Poisonous energy. Even if they don''t do much direct damage, they will still poison Charizard. Beedrill is fast, but Charizard is even faster. He uses his powerful wings and with one p; he dodges the two poisonednce-like hands and appears over Beedrill. He then channels dragonic energy into his arms and brings it down on Beedrill''s head from above, like a guillotine. The Dragon w makes contact and Beedrill''s head gets drilled into the ground with just one move from Charizard. Beedrill is out. Miror B "Shit, Ludicolo, use Surf," Seeing this Beedrill get knocked out, Miror B takes instant action as he should. After all, he is a very experienced Pokemon trainer. He calls for Surf because it is a wide-range attack and is very hard to dodge. It deals a great amount of damage, especially to a fire-type Pokemon like Charizard. Julian "Use Giga Impact," Julian gives his orders. Charizard lets out a bone-shaking roar as he starts channeling a very destructive energy all over his body. The energy of white, red, purple, blue, and green colors all start to fuse together. Suddenly Charizard is hovering off the ground and directly charges toward the iing wave of energized water. Like a torpedo, he pierces through the water wave using Giga Impact and locks onto Ludicolo. Miror B "Ludicolo, quick, use Protect. Loudred, use Ice Beam" Miror B makes a very wise decision. By using Protect, he ns to save Ludicolo from the Giga impact and when Charizard is stopped in his tracks, he will get hit by Loudred''s ice beam. But little does Miror B knows, Charizard has been trained to make snap decisions on the battlefield if the situation calls for it and now is one of those situations. Charizard suddenly changes his course and locks onto Loudred, who is suddenly caught off guard by Charizard''s movement. It thought that Charizard was going after Ludicolo, so it was ready to hit him with an Ice Beam when the opportunity presented itself. It didn''t expect that it would suddenly be the target. Though bamboozled by the sudden development of the battle, Loudred tries to counter with an Ice Beam, but it is toote. As Loudred starts umting Ice energy in its mouth, Charizard smashes into it using Giga Impact. There is no need to wait for a result, a move like Giga Impact and that too used by a powerful Pokemon like Julian''s Charizard is going to cause massive destruction. A massive explosion takes ce and Loudred is sent shooting through the air and disappears into the horizon. Miror B watches with wide eyes, two of his best pokemons have been taken out with ease and now he only has his Ludicolo to rely on. Miror B ''Should I use it?'' He thinks. Miror B ''No, that thing is too dangerous and I still can''t control it. I need to rely on Ludicolo and make this work.'' He thinks and is determined to find a solution. Chapter 1355: Dance Moves? Chapter 1355: Dance Moves? With both Beedrill and Loudred taken out, Miror B starts to realize that the person standing in front of him is not called the strongest Pokemon trainer for no reason, his Charizard is probably the strongest Pokemon he has evere across. Miror B ''Should I send in more pokemons?'' He thinks to himself. Miror B ''No, let''s stick with Ludicolo, It''s better to have all my concentration focused on a single Pokemon,'' Miror B thinks. And he is correct in making this decision. By having multiple pokemons on the battlefield, his focus was divided. This tactic would have worked against other elite Pokemon trainers but not against someone on the level of Julian. Right now, Miror B needs to put all his focus on his Ludicolo to fight back against Julian. Julian "Is that all you got? I thought you were going to destroy me. What happened?" Julian taunted him with a smirk on his face. Miror B grits his teeth in frustration and anger.Miror B ''Calm down, he is trying to get under my nerves,'' He tries to calm himself. Julian "Well, if you are not going to make a move, then let''s end this." Julian deres and his gaze gets fierce. His emotion gets picked up by Charizard and he too starts to feel his blood burn. Charizard bes one with Julian''s emotions. This is something that only happens when a trainer and their Pokemon haveplete trust in each other. Julian "me thrower," Charizard takes in arge amount of air to puff his chest. He then starts umting arge amount of fire energy inside his chest, ready to st it at his opponent. As he feels that he has collected enough, he sts his fierce me thrower at Ludicolo. Miror B "Ludicolo, it''s time to show what you are made of, Dodge, then use Water Pulse," The me thrower is too fast to dodge, even for an elite-level Pokemon, but to Julian''s and Charizard''s surprise, Ludicolo does a spin and slips to the side with a very fluid motion and then shoots a Water Pulse instantly. Julian ''A ballet dancer?'' Julian thinks as he witnesses how Ludicolo dodged Charizard''s me thrower. The Water Pulse continues to hurl towards Charizard but he isn''t fazed. He just moves his head to the left, letting it graze past his face. Charizard gets serious. Julian "Dragon w," Julian calls from another move. Charizard roars and channels his hidden dragonic energy and infuses his ws with it, creating massive ws that are half the side of his body. He then bolts towards Ludicolo with a p of his wings, ready to decimate his opponent with one swipe. But to Charizard''s surprise, Ludicolo makes a weird movement and dodges Charizard''s strike once again. Julian ''I never expected a Pokemon to use dance moves to dodge attacks,'' Julian thought and smirked. He then looked at Charizard and wondered if he should help. Julian ''Let''s see how he handles this.'' Julian "This is your battle from now on," Julian says. Charizard looks back at Julian and nods his head. He wouldn''t have had it another other way. Charizard channels wind into his ws and starts swiping them, sending des of air at Ludicolo using Air sh. Multiple des of winds hurl towards Ludicolo, ripping through the atmosphere as he move forward. Miror B "Keep dodging," Miror B instructs. Ludicolo starts hopping side to side in a rhythmic pattern and as these des of winde inches away from its body, it gracefully moves to the side, jumps, crouches, and spins to dodge them all. This frustrates Charizard further. He roars in anger and charges at Ludicolo with fiery fists, trying to use Fire Punch. But once again, Ludicolo uses its fancy dance moves and dodges both Fire Punches as they graze past inches away from its face, but there is only so much fancy movements can do against an experienced battle Pokemon like Charizard. Just when Ludicolo thought that it had sessfully dodged all of Charizard''s punches, it didn''t even notice Charizard charging up his tail with Dragonic energy. Miror B "Look out!" Miror B tries to warn Ludicolo, but it is toote. Charizard uses his massive body to hide his tail and now that he has Ludicolo where he wants it, there is no escaping. Charizard twists his body at incredible speed and uses his tail like a whip. With Ludicolo being so close to him, there is no escaping. So it gets hit by a full-power Dragon Tail from Charizard. Ludicolo is sent flying into the air but Charizard is not done as he notices that Ludicolo is still conscious. He is not going to let this clown of a Pokemon continue dancing around him. Charizard ps his wings rushing toward the flying Ludicolo and snatches it midair. He then starts flying up with Ludicolo in his arms. Miror B realizes that his Ludicolo is in trouble. Miror B "Ludicolo, use Ice Beam," Ludicolo does as it is ordered and hits Charizard with Ice Beam at point nk, right on his chest. But Charizard ignores it and continues flying high up in the air. And when he reaches the desired height, he starts circling the air, increasing his speed. He starts moving so fast that an illusion of a forms within the circle. Charizard then descends down with unprecedented speed. Like a meteor falling from the sky, Charizard uses Seismic Toss. Charizard pile drives Ludicolo headfirst into the ground, sending an earthshaking tremor across the whole ind. Dust flies up covering everyone''s vision, but when it settles, Charizard is standing in middle of a huge crater with a menacing re on his face while Ludicolo is upside down, drilled into the ground, and out cold. Chapter 1356: Legendary Berserker Miror B stares in shock as now all three of his pokemons are down. Even with his Ludicolo''s special movements, his opponent''s Pokemon was about to take it down. Miror B ''Shit, I can''t afford to lose. Should I really use it?'' He thinks and pulls out a ck Pokeball from his ball storage. The ball has a dark, hazy aura around it, giving off sinister vibes. Julian sees the Pokeball and frowns. He has seen this before and he recognizes the aura. It''s the same as the shadow Volcanion he captured back in Kalos from the underworld member. The Volcanion was so severely damaged from the inside that it still has not recovered. Both its mind and soul were severely corrupted. Luckily, Julian has ess to the Omni force, which can fix anything that is damaged. But for now, Julian is just using it to calm down Volcanion so that it doesn''t go into Rampage as soon as ites out of its Pokeball. To cure Volcanion of his shadow state, Julian has to learn how to fix a soul itself and no matter how strong Julian is right now, he doesn''t have such power at his disposal. Even his system is useless in this matter. There is also another option, but it involves the power to control time itself. And this is even harder than anything soul-rted. Unless he has Celebi or Dialga in front of him, he can''t do shit. As the thought of another Pokemon suffering simr to Volcanion enters his thoughts, Julian gets extremely angry. Not only are these people experimenting with pokemons to strip them of their will but also destroying and corrupting their souls, causing them endless pain.Miror B holds the ck Pokemon as tightly as possible as his thoughts continue to sh in his head. Miror B "I can''t afford to lose," He deres and decides to use the Pokemon inside the ck Pokeball. Miror B "I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE!!!" He deres and throws the ck Pokeball up in the air. The Pokeball opens up and ck light oozes out of it. The light then shoots down and takes shape. The ck light fades away, and the Pokemon is revealed. A Regirock. But this Regirock doesn''t look normal. Its rocky body is covered in dark miasma, there are cracks all over its body with darkness leaking out of them. Its seven eyes are glowing red. A dark aura surrounds its whole body, giving it a very sinister aura. As soon as Shadow Regirock steps foot on the battlefield, it lets out a guttural roar. The roar causes every wild Pokemon in the vicinity to tremble in fear and run away scared. It immediately starts pounding the ground with its heavy rocky arms. Every strike stakes the ground like mini earthquakes. Miror B "Regirock, calm down!" He orders but instead of listening to him, Regirock turns around to look at him and then charges at him. Miror B''s entire being freezes in fear as he sees the heavy rock Pokemon rush toward him. Regirock swings its heavy arm at Miror B and smacks him as hard as possible. Miror B doesn''t even get to scream as he is sent shooting into the air and disappearing into the horizon, never to be seen again. Regirock senses more lifeform around it. It turns and looks at Julian and sees a very powerful aura around him; It feels that this aura can ease its pain. So to a damaged Pokemon like Regirock, nothing is more appealing. It roars and charges towards Julian, trying to crack him open and observe the aura that he is releasing. But before it can advance any further, Charizard rushes toward it and meets it head-on. Charizard ms his whole body into Regirock and stops it in its tracks. He wraps his arms over its right shoulder and under its left arm, trying to wrestle the hulking mass of rocks down. But to Charizard''s surprise, he started getting pushed back. Feeling his legs slipping, Charizard smashes his tail into the ground to get more support. With three contact points on the ground, Charizard manages to stop Shadow Regirock in its track. Regirock''s attention was all focused on Julian, but now that Charizard is trying to stop it, he has all of Regirock''s attention. Regirock stopped pushing. It suddenly wrapped its rocky hands around Charizard and instantly lifted him off his feet. It channeled energy into its arms and mmed Charizard into the ground using Takedown. Charizard''s whole body is driven into the hard ground back first, the ground caves in and Charizard feels the air being driven out of his lungs. Charizard is ovee with pain as he grossly underestimates Shadow Regirock''s strength. Regirock is already a very strong Pokemon and with its shadowfication, it has be stronger. On top of that, it is now in a berserk state. It is not going to hold back even one bit. In fact, it might even overexert itself to cause more harm to its opponent and to itself. Chapter 1357: Clash With A Titan Julian frowns as he sees his Charizard getting pokemonhandled like that. His Charizard might not be his strongest Pokemon, but strength-wise, he is stronger than 98 percent of all pokemons. So getting mmed into the ground is not something Charizard has experienced ever. But now it is up to Charizard to get back to his feet and fight back. As Regirock throws down Charizard, it brings its focus back to Julian. Regirock starts rushing towards Julian once again. Julian ''Why is it after me?'' Julian questions himself as it is very clear that he is Regirock''s target. Though he seems to be in danger, he is not. If Regirock gets dangerously close to Julian, it will be taken care of. Luckily for it, Charizardes to its rescue. After getting mmed into the ground and getting his wind knocked out of him, Charizard growls in anger and shoots himself up. He ps his wings and rushes towards Regirock. He grabs Regirock from the back and stops it in its tracks once again.Charizard roars and starts pping his wings, fast and hard. Charizard''s feete off the ground and so does Regirocks''. Regirock starts iling, trying to get itself loose, but Charizard''s grip is tight. With Regirock in his hands, Charizard starts flying higher. Hundreds of meters up in the air, Charizard starts circling the sky. And with each revolution, he gets faster, fast enough to create an orange ring. Soon, an illusion of a manifests inside the circle. Charizard reaches maximum speed and starts descending. He breaks the sound barrier in an instant. Like a meteor, the friction from the atmosphere causes fire to engulf both Charizard and Regirock. Since Charizard is a fire type, the fire does not affect him. As for Regirock, it is resistant to fire, and at this temperature, it won''t affect it much. It only takes a few seconds for Charizard to reach the ground. He drives Regirock face-first into the ground using Seismic Toss. This Seismic Toss is twice as powerful as the one Charizard delivered to Ludicolo, so the impact is muchrger. The whole ind feels the impact, the ground shakes violently and dust rises up hundreds of meters in height. This should be over, but it is not. As soon as Regirock gets driven into the ground, Charizard lets it go and watches the motionless legendary Pokemon, but to his surprise, Regirock suddenly gets back to its feet and punches Charizard using Focus Punch. Charizard shoots out of the dust cloud, surprising Julian. The dust settles down and Regirock can be seen standing menacingly. Charizard ps his wings hard to stop himself in midair. He grits his teeth as he can feel pain coursing around his abdomen. Charizard roars in anger and charges toward Regirock once again. He channels fire energy with maximum intensity as he uses re Blitz. Blue mes cover Charizard''s body. Every minute re that separates from the ming body itself seems to carry great destructive power. Sensing the force behind Charizard''s attack, Regirock tenses up and channels its energy, strengthening its body with it. Regirock uses Superpower to strengthen itself making its body glow. It then crosses its arms together in front of its chest and charges forward. Both Pokemon trying to take out each other. Two powerhouses, one an immovable object, another an unstoppable force, are about to collide. Before the two could even make contact, the pressure built in the space between them as they got closer to each other caved the ground beneath it. And when the contact took ce, bright blinding white light instantly covered everything. It was then followed up with a thunderous sound that would make anyone go deaf. Then came the shock wave that would rip anything in its path. The impact was so powerful that it created a vacuum. Of course, the surrounding air instantly came in, and the vacuum was gone, but it did create a second sound boom. Julian covers his eyes as the shockwave hits him like a truck. Luckily, he tanks it with the help of his powers and some reinforcements from Gengar''s shadow tentacles. before the dust even gets the chance to settle, both Charizard and Regirock are thrown out of it from the recoil. Regirock''s heavy body crashes into the ground and continues to roll down further, taking down trees on its way. Charizard also crashes hard and rolls, but he uses his tail to stop rolling and gets back to his feet. But then he is suddenly assaulted by the aftermath of using re Blitz. His body suddenly bursts with blue mes as Charizard growls in pain. Usually, Charizard doesn''t suffer any bacsh using this move because he always holds back, but this time he went all out and now has to suffer from it. Regirock also stops rolling and slowly gets back to its feet, but the glowing energy around its body starts to fade away. This is the side effect of using Superpower. It gives the user a temporary increase in strength and defense, but when the power fades away, it decreases the user''s strength and defense. Now both pokemons are weakened severely. Chapter 1358: Just The Beginning Chapter 1358: Just The Beginning Both Charizard and Regirock have suffered a great deal of bacsh for using their respective moves. There is a reason why many trainers don''t teach their pokemons such moves. Though these moves are mighty and destructive, they also affect the user. But to pokemons like Charizard, such moves are a necessary arsenal, especially in times like this. Charizard finds his opponent very frustrating. That re Blitz should have done the work. Even if Regirock is resistant to fire, the impact alone from the move should have put an end to it. One shouldn''t also forget that before this, Charizard drove Regirock head-first into the ground using a Seismic Toss. These two moves were his finishers, but Regirock tanked them both. Julian understands what Charizard is feeling. He experienced the same thing when he faced off against Shadow Volcanion, no matter how many times he thought he ended it, Shadow Volcanion got back to its feet. Julian ''Charizard can''t handle this.'' Julian thought, not because Charizard is weak, but because his opponent is unique.Julian took down Volcanion but incapacitated it, by making its limbs useless with precise attacks. But a Pokemon like Regirock cannot be brought down like that. Regirock ispletely made of rock lie material, it doesn''t have joints or nerves that can be targeted. If this battle continues, Charizard will kill Regirock by shattering it into pieces. Julian "Charizard back down," Charizard turns his head to look at Julian, shocked by his order. Charizard growls, telling Julian that he can continue. Julian "I know you can do it but if I continue to let you fight, you are going to kill Regirock. Look at it," Hearing Julian, Charizard brings his attention back to Regirock. He immediately notices all the cracks on Regirock that were not present before. Julian "We need to take it down without harming it any further," Julian says. Charizard finally understands and backs off and stands behind Julian. Regirock sees the obstacle standing in front of it and Julian backing off, so it once again locks its sights on Julian and charges at him. 15 meters... 10 meters... 5 meters... 3 meters... 2 meters, just as Regirock nears Julian, shadowy tentacles shoot out of the ground and wrap around Regirock''s limbs, around its neck, arms, and legs, stopping it instantly. Regirock tries to move, but it can''t. It puts all its strength into moving, as its target is right in front of it, but it can''t. Regirock is feeling powerless. It growls in anger and tries to free itself, but there is nothing it can do but stare. Julian watches Regirock struggle and decides to put this to stop. Julian "Put it to sleep," Julian says. Suddenly the shadow beneath Regirock''s feet starts to move on its own, and like a demon from hell, Gengar emerges from the shadow and stares into Regirock''s eyes. Gengar''s eyes start to glow red. He quickly invades Regirock''s mind. Regirock tries to resist, but it is futile as the level difference between Gengar and Regirock is night and day. Regirock instantly goes limp and falls asleep. Julian "Good work," Julian says and takes out an ultra ball, he found that it is very good at containing shadow pokemons. He first breaks the connection between Regirock and its current Pokeball and then throws the ultra ball at it. With Gengar continuing to suppress Regirock, the Ultra ball instantly captures Regirock. Julian "So this is over," Julian says, but this is only the beginning. Cipher''s forces are big and Miror B is only a small part of it. If he needs to end Cipher, he needs to hunt them down, not wait for them toe after him. Julian "Let''s go back," Julian says and hops on top of Charizard and flies into the sky. _________________ Returning to the inds, Julian sees that things have finally settled down. There are no Cipher members in sight as some of them have been captured, and some of them ran away. Charizard descends with Julian. Officer Jenny is still in the field working, dictating orders to her men as they move prisoners and equipment around. She sees Julian approaching her and stops doing whatever she was doing. Jenny "You came back," She says with a smile. Julian "Yes, I am," He says. Jenny "So... Is everything okay?'' She asks, worried. She doesn''t know if this will be the end of it or if there is more to this war. Julian "Well, when ites to matters rted to Al it should be over, but as for Cipher, It is just the beginning," Julian "But you don''t have to worry about it. I n to deal with them very soon." Jenny "That''s good to hear," She sighs with relief. Jenny "So you n to deal with them, all alone?" Julian "Ya," Jenny "When?" Julian "Tomorrow," Jenny "Tomorrow?" Julian "Yes, tomorrow, I will be leaving Al. I can''t allow Cipher to run around as they continue tomit such atrocities," Jenny "Oh, well then, good luck," Jenny feels a little disappointed, which Julian immediately picks up. Julian "Don''t worry, we still have a lot of time to spend together." He says and winks. Chapter 1359: To Orre Region We Go Chapter 1359: To Orre Region We Go Julian gets up naked on his bed. Beside him is Jenny, naked and deep asleep. Since he is going to leave Al, he spent his time having a lot of "fun" with Jenny, resulting in her current state. He looks at Jenny and sees that she ispletely out cold, so he doesn''t bother waking her up, but he does leave a note behind. He puts on a new set of clothes and checks out of his hotel. He then directly heads to the airport to board his private ne. Julian enters his private jet, and inside, waiting for him, is Sk and Anastasia, his lovers. Sk is a pilot and a gym leader in Unova while Anastasia was an air hostess, and is now the CEO of a major airlinepany with Julian''s help. Even though she has be a very important person, she always has time for Julian. Julian smiles, seeing them. He kisses both of them and enters the cabin and takes a seat. Anastasia immediately gets to work. She prepares food and drinks for Julian and immediately starts servicing him. Julian "Sk, let''s go," Sk "OK darling,"Sk enters the cockpit and takes control of the ne. Their destination is the Orre region, the headquarters of Cipher. The private jet takes off. Inside the jet, Julian is going through all the information provided to him by his team about the Orre region. Five years ago Orre region was very unstable and the stomping grounds of many crime syndicates, and the biggest of them being Team Snagem. The Snagem wreaked havoc around Orre using mysterious pokemons, which his team now has confirmed to be shadow pokemons. Julian "Shadow pokemons existed five years ago?" He questions to himself Julian "This Snagem gang must have been backed by Cipher for them to have ess to shadow pokemons" Julian gets curious and continues reading. He then reads that all crime syndicates suddenly came to an end, and those mysterious pokemons disappeared from public sight. And because of it, these recent five years seem to have been the most peaceful the region has ever been. Julian "Someone defeated Cipher, but they seem to have made aeback like a cockroach." Julian knows this all well. If you don''t uproot the whole organizationpletely, they will somehow find a way to grow back and be more tenacious and hard to destroy. Cipher was defeated five years ago by someone, but they are now back. They had managed to stay hidden for a long time, but this recent stunt they pulled in Al has put them in the limelight once again. Julian "If they are willing to put up such a big show, they must have something big or are on the verge of creating something big." Julian "It all makes sense. They wanted the harvest the power of Z-energy for something big. Luckily I put an end to it before it got any worse" Julian "The underworld might be behind it," He concludes. The underworld seems to have its hands all across the world, pulling strings and controlling criminal syndicates for their benefit. Julian "If someone defeated Cipher five years ago, they must have found a way to fix shadow pokemons. I need to find them." Julian "Anastasia, order the team to find the person who defeated Cipher five years ago," Julian gives his orders. Anastasia "Yes sir," She respectfully bows and immediately does what she is told to do. Julian "Orre region, what will you have for me?" Julian questions as he looks out the window. Chapter 1360: Disappearance Of A Ship Chapter 1360: Disappearance Of A Ship Julian looks out through the window as his jet starts lowering the altitude. Looking at thendmass below, he realizes the region is significantly smaller than expected. It is just a little bigger than all the Aln indsbined. The jet continues to descend. His current destination is a small port city called Gateon, as it is where he might find some clues regarding Cipher and their history in this region. It is also home to a renowned Pokemon scientist who Professor Oak himself referred to. From what he knows about this professor, he is very young but is making great strides in the world of Pokemon research. Some of his research is already gaining mass recognition from the Pokemon scientificmunity. The only thing that is holding him back is his decision to stay in Orre. The Orre region is very unstable because of its crime rate. People don''t want to invest in it due to its instability. And so, anyone promising born in Orre decides to leave it for a better future. Professor Krane is not one of those. He doesn''t want to leave his birthce; he wants to stay back and improve it.And his efforts seem to be showing results. From what he heard from Cynthia, he is one of the reasons Orre has had this significant growth in thest five years. Because of it, the league has shown interest in taking Orre under its wings and start developing it, but it won''t be possible if Cipher is running it from the shadows. The league tried to establish its influence in Orre in the past years, but every time it resulted in failure. It was clear to them that someone was sabotaging their efforts. And since the League has a reputation to maintain, they couldn''t enforce their authority on Orre. Orre has a working government, but it is not stable. Some are pulling strings from the shadows and the League believes it to be none other than Cipher. But Julian thinks there is more to it than just Cipher. Cipher was defeated five years ago. The shadow Pokemon epidemic was put an end to but now they are back, stronger than ever. Someone helped them, and Julian has a hunch that it is none other than the Underworld. They seem to have their grimy hands everywhere. To put an end to Cipher once and for all, Julian needs topletely wipe them out and help League take control over the Orre region. With the League in control, they should be able to counter the Underworld''s influence on the region. His jetnds on a small runway. Since the region is poor, it doesn''t have a proper airport. Every foreign transport is done through the waterways. Anastasia prepares a new set of clothes for Julian to wear. He puts them on and exits his jet. He walks into the airport and finds it almost empty. There is a cleaner working with a mop in his hand. A security guard is yawning, as there is nothing to do but stare at nothing. Julian''s entrance surprises them, as he is a new face in their small city. Julian looks around, trying to read his surroundings, but there is nothing to see. It is just an empty building with a few people working. Julian "I better get to my hotel," He says and walks out of the airport. Since Gateon is a very small port city, it didn''t take him long to find his hotel. It''s not as big as the one he is used to staying at, but this will do for now. He checks in and enters his room. The room is spacious and neatly kept. This is the best room they had, as Julian did pay premium money for it. He takes a seat and turns on the TV to see if he can find anything on the local news channel. And to his expectations, he did. The local news is currently covering a story about a ship''s disappearance. [Authorities still have failed to find any traces of the cargo ship S.S. LIBRA since its sudden disappearance off the coast of Gateon port. There have been no reports of flotsam that may indicate the ship''s sinking. The authorities appeared mystified by the way the ship vanished like smoke. There are reports that numerous Pokemon and people were on board. Concern is rising over their welfare.] Julian frowns as he hears this. Cargo ships are massive. They just don''t disappear into thin air like that. Even if it got hit by a massive storm or sunk into the depths of the ocean, it can still be found easily with the help of technology and pokemons. Julian "There is definitely someone behind this. Looks like I don''t have any time to waste." He says to himself and exits his room. Professor Oak told him that he could find Professor Krane at the Pokemonboratory that is situated right outside the city. Though the city is small, he is not going to walk his way to theboratory, so he brings out his trusty old motorcycle that he has not used for quite a while. He starts the motorcycle and hops on. Driving it north of the city where theboratory should be located. The drive was short but bumpy as the current government has not properly maintained the roads. How could they? When Cipher is busy pulling the strings and making them do other things rather than develop their region. Far away on the horizon, he sees arge building reflecting the sunlight off its ss-covered walls. Julian "That should be it," He says increasing his speed as he approaches theboratory. Chapter 1361: Lily Chapter 1361: Lily The Pokemonboratory is way grander than he expected it to be. It''s big and shiny, nothing like theboratory back in Kanto. If theboratory back in Kanto was more focused on a perfect environment for Pokemon to live in, thisboratory would be a technologically advanced facility dedicated to the study of pokemons. Julian drives up the driveway and stops right in front of the gate, and he immediately notices something. Burn marks and cracked ground right in front of the porch. Julian ''Somebody had a Pokemon battle here,'' He thinks as he studies the surroundings. Julian ''Why would someone have a Pokemon battle right in front of theb?'' He questions himself as he approaches the front door. The motion sensors on the door detect his presence and immediately opens the door. Julian walks in to find a blond receptionist in a ponytail who seems to be pretty shaken up for some reason.As soon as the receptionist sees Julian, she takes a step back in fear. "Are you one of them as well?" She asks nervously. Julian frowns. It is very clear to him now that something has happened here. Julian "Who are you referring to?" Julian asks. "Th...those people in armored uniforms," The receptionist says as she observes Julian. She sees that he is not wearing anything that resembles those people from before. Julian ''Cipher'' Julian immediately concludes, as there are no possibilities other than them. Julian "No, I am not with whoever you are referring to. I am here to meet Professor Krane," Julian says. "The professor is not here..." The receptionist says with hesitation in her voice. Julian "Where can I find him? Can you reach out to him and tell him that Professor Oak sent me?," Julian says. "Wait, are you Mr. Julian?" She asks. Julian "Yes, that''s me," Julian answers. "Professor Krane told me that you would be arriving." She says. Julian "Looks like you are already informed, so where is he?" Julian asks. "Um, you might have arrived a bitte. Professor Krane just got kidnaped by those men in armored uniforms," She says, still shaken from the incident. Julian "Do you know where they took him?" Julian asks. She shakes her head but immediately speaks up right after. "But Miss Lily might know where they took him," she hurriedly says. Julian "Who is this Miss Lily?" Julian asks. "She works for Professor Krane right here in theboratory. Wait, let me inform her of your arrival." She says and immediately rings up this Miss Lily from the reception phone. The receptionist starts talking to a woman on the other end of the phone and quickly ends the call. "Miss Lily has asked for you. Let me guide you." The receptionist says and walks up to the elevator. Julian follows right behind her and enters the ss elevator. The receptionist scans her ID card against the card reader and presses the topmost button on the pad. The elevator starts moving instantly, and within a second, they arrive at their designated floor. Both the receptionist and Julian walk out and continue onward towards the very end of the corridor. The receptionist stops in front of a metal door and scans her ID. She then leans in and talks to the microphone installed next to the scanner. "Miss Lily, I brought Mr. Julian with me," She says. The metal door opens. The receptionist looks at Julian and gestures for him to enter. Julian enters the room, and the receptionist enters right behind him. The room immediately captivates Julian, filled with machines that he has never seen before and has no idea what they are. Some of them look simr, but they seem to havepletely different functionalities. His eyes then fall on the beautiful woman standing in the room. She seems to be in herte 20s or early 30s. She has brownish-blond hair tied up in a bun with a pink hair band. She has big beautiful green eyes and sharp facial features. It is not just her face that is beautiful. Her figure is exceptional as well. She is wearing a pink suit that is not doing a very good job of hiding the figure that is underneath it. Her big breasts are very prevalent. She has a slim waist and wide hips. She is also blessed with long sexy legs that are semi-hidden behind the translucent stockings that she has on. Julian''s primal urges can''t help but re up seeing her. But he is a man with a strong will and self-control, so he easily suppresses them, as he has a much more important thing to do than seduce a beautiful woman. It is not just Julian that is captivated. Lily herself is surprised by how handsome the man standing in front of her is. He is tall, his face is very striking and symmetrical, and his crimson eyes are the most captivating eyes she has ever seen. Julian "Miss Lily, it''s nice to meet you," Julian introduces himself and puts his hand forward. Lily, being a strong woman, easily regainsposure and shakes his hand. Lily "Nice to meet you, Mr. Julian. Unfortunately, we had to meet in such a drastic situation," Julian "It can''t be helped," He says looking right into her eyes. Lily "I would love to sit down and talk with you right now, but we don''t have time to idle around. Mr. Julian, I would like your help with our current situation," Lily doesn''t beat around the bushes and gets straight to the point. Julian "How can I be of help?" Chapter 1362: Rescue Mission? Chapter 1362: Rescue Mission? Julian "How can I be of help?" He asks Lily as they both sit down for the talk. Lily "Do you know about Cipher?" She asks. Julian "I know them. I have been dealing with them for quite a while now." Hearing him Lily is quite surprised. From what she knows, Cipher has always kept inside the Orre region and operated from here. It is very recently that they tried to spread their influence in other regions. Lily "That''s great, then I don''t have to exin everything," She says. Lily "Then do you know about shadow pokemons?"She asks. Julian nods. Julian "It is one of the reasons I am here to meet Professor Krane. Professor Oak told me that he could be of some help regarding the shadow Pokemon problem," Julian says. Lily nods her head. Lily "Professor Krane is not just an exceptional Pokemon researcher but also the leading expert regarding the study of shadow pokemons," Lily "Do you know what happened in Orre five years ago?" She asks, and Julian nods his head. Lily "Five years ago when the shadow pokemon pandemic overran the Orre region, Professor Krane stepped up and tried to help these shadow pokemons and cure them, but he failed. The damage done to these poor pokemons was more severe than one expected. But Professor Krane didn''t give up. He spent five years of his life searching for a way to reverse the shadowfication of a Pokemon. People thought that his obsession to cure a condition that took ce five years ago was stupid, but Professor Krane didn''t stop. He knew that it was not over until he finds a way to reverse a shadow Pokemon''s shadowfication. Professor Krane knew that shadow pokemons would be back because people are always power hungry and this time he wanted to be ready for it. And his prediction turned out to be right. The shadow pokemons dide back as Cipher resurfaced," Julian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. He didn''t care if Cipher resurfaced or not. His intention of meeting Professor Krane was to find a way to cure shadow pokemons. Julian "You are telling me that Professor Krane found a way to cure shadow pokemons?" Julian asked. It was the only part of the story he cared about. Lily shakes her head in denial. Lily "No, but he is very close. This very morning he came running to me, yelling that he figured it out, but before he could even tell me, Cipher happened," Julian "So you want me to find Professor Krane and bring him back?" Julian asks. Lily nods her head. Lily "Professor Krane is the only hope we have if we want to tackle this Cipher and Shadow Pokemon situation before it gets out of hand andpletely engulfs the Orre region like in the past," Julian is not satisfied with the current situation. He knows that the shadow Pokemon epidemic was solved five years ago, so why aren''t Professor Krane and Lily using the same method? What is she hiding? Julian "Five years ago, someone cured the shadow Pokemon. How did they do it?" Julian asks as he stares seriously into Lily''s eyes. He had made his people investigate how the shadow epidemic was solved and who solved it but he got nothing. The locals had no idea as to what happened and the ones who seemed to know something pretended to know nothing as well. It was as if they wanted to take their secret to their grave. Seeing his fierce eyes, Lily breaks eye contact. Even she doesn''t know how the shadow Pokemon epidemic was solved five years ago. One day everyone woke up and found all shadow pokemons cured. Lily "I don''t know. Nobody knows," She says. Julian "Someone has to know." He says. Lily "Right now, your best bet is to find Professor Krane because only he can answer most of your questions," She says. Julian is not happy with her answer, but he can''t me her. She does seem clueless. Julian "Fine, I will start with Professor Krane. Do you have any idea as to where the Cipher could have taken him?" Julian asks. Lily "I personally have no idea as to where they took Professor Krane, but I know someone who can guide you on the right path," She says. As she is about to reveal the name of this person, the door of the room opens and two kids run in. One is a teenager with spiky orange hair, and the other is a little girl with blue hair. "Mommy, Mommy," The little girl cries and runs into Lily''s bosoms. While the teenage boy stands next to her with a worried look on his face. Lily "I am fine Jovi. Mommy''s fine," She saysforting her daughter. Jovi "I heard that bad guys came and took away Professor Krane. Is he going to be ok?" She asks. Lily "Don''t worry sweety, this person right here is going to bring back Professor Krane safe and sound," Lily says pointing at Julian. Jovi turns to look at Julian and then looks back at Lily. Jovi "Who is he?" She asks. Lily "This here is Mr. Julian, he is a very strong Pokemon trainer. He has promised to bring back Professor Krane," Lily says. Michael the teenage son, after breathing a sigh of relief knowing that nothing has happened to his mother, finally gets the chance to look at the person sitting next to her. And as his mother introduces Julian to them, his eyes go wide. Michael could never mistake that face with anyone else. Michael "You are the Julian!" Chapter 1363: Resistance? Chapter 1363: Resistance? Michael "You are the Julian!" The teenage boy exims. He can never mistake anyone else with Julian. Julian is known as the strongest Pokemon trainer in the world as he has won multiple Pokemon leagues across many regions and has defeated every champion he has ever faced. To an aspiring Pokemon trainer like Michael, Julian is an untouchable idol that he can only look up to. He can''t believe that Julian is sitting right in front of him, looking at him. Julian doesn''t know how to react to Michael''s enthusiasm. Usually, whenever he interacts with a fan, they are in groups or massive numbers, so he can always drown them out and interact with them without feeling anything. But in a situation like this, when it is just him and a fan, it gets a little awkward. It is always a surprise to him as to how much he means to them and how he is worshiped like a god by them. He just hopes that Michael is not too crazy about him.Julian "Yup, that''s me," Julian says with a smile. Michael "I am your biggest fan. Can I have your autograph?" Michael asks and starts looking around for something to capture Julian''s autograph on. Lily is surprised to see Michael act like this. Usually, he is very calm and collected, this is the first time she has seen Michael get excited over someone. She knows that Julian is a big deal but she never expected her own son to be such a big fan. Michael quickly brought a book and a pen and handed it over to Julian. Julian signed it for him and gave it back. Lily "Now children, leave us alone. I have some important stuff to talk about with Mr. Julian," She says and chases away her children. She then looks at the receptionist and informs her to keep an eye on her children and keep them busy while she talks with Julian. Now that her children are out, they resume their talking. Lily "Where was I?" She asks. Julian "You were about to give me a name. Someone who could help me find Professor Krane," Julian says. Lily "Ah, yes. The person you should be looking for is named Vander. You can find him in the valley up in My. Battle," She reveals the name of the person. Julian "This Vander, tell me a little more about him." Julian wants to make sure that the guy he will be looking for is the right one and should he really trust him? And for that, he needs all the information he can get. Lily "Vander is the valley master of Mt. Battle. Since Mt. Battle has a settlement situated on top of it, Vander is in charge. Just like a mayor," Julian "Is he trustworthy?" He asks. Since Julian is going to meet this man to talk about Professor Krane, he doesn''t want him to be some spy nted by Cipher to have control over Mt. Battle, just like any other town or city in this region. Lily "You need not worry, Vander is a trustworthy person," Julian "What if he is a spy from Cipher? I know that most cities and towns are already under their control. How is Mt. Battle any different?" Julian asks. Lily "Well, it''s the exact opposite. Cipher thinks that Varden works for them and does their bidding, but he is secretly working for the resistance," Lily says. Julian "Resistance?" Julian questions. Lily "After Cipher made their presence known in Orre, a group of people came together to fight against Cipher. They didn''t want what happened five years ago to repeat. The resistance is just in its budding phase but we are being backed by the league. Both me and Professor Krane are a part of it." Lily exins. Julian is surprised to hear the league is backing this resistance, but what Julian finds weird is that Cynthia didn''t tell him anything about this. She did say to him that the league had tried to establish power here in Orre, but failed many times. Julian ''There is something fishy going on here,'' He thought, but didn''t say anything about it to Lily. Before he goes on throwing his theories into the dark, he wants to confirm them. Julian "I will take my leave now, but before that, I need a way to reach out to you." He says and exchanges his contact information with Lily. Julian "If I find Professor Krane, I will inform you." Julian says waving his rotom phone and walks out. Chapter 1364: A Big Bully Julian walks out of theboratory with many questions regarding things he has heard till now. He doesn''t know who to trust. Lily said that she was working with the league, but Julian was never informed of this by them. It is not something they will hide from him because Cynthia is his fiance. Even if the authorities didn''t directly contact him, Cynthia would have said something. So the first thing Julian does is call her and fact-check what Lily said. He hears to call tune on his phone and it is immediately picked up by Cynthia from the other side. Julian "Hello baby, how are you doing?" He asks. Cynthia "I am doing great, now that I heard your voice,"Cynthia says. Julian can imagine Cynthia smiling ear to ear on the other side of the phone. Julian "What about Chloe and Daisy? How are they?" Cynthia "They are doing great as well, but they miss you. We all miss you," Cynthia says as they have not met each other for months. Julian was busy in Al, and now he directly came to Orre to deal with Cipher. He has not given his fiances his time, which makes him feel a little guilty. He could always abandon everything and go meet them but he feels that the business he has here in Orre is much more important right now. Julian "Don''t worry, as soon as I am done here in Orre, I am going to spend all my time with you three." Cynthia "Promise?" Julian "You know I always stay true to my words. I promise," Julian promises. Cynthia "Good... So why did you call? It isn''t just to talk to me, right?" She asks. Julian "Why? Can''t I just call to hear your voice?" He asks smiling. Cynthia "I know you. You prefer video calls. So it must be pretty urgent there for you to just do a voice call," She says. Julian "You got me. I called because I wanted to ask you about something." Julian says. Cynthia "What is it?" She asks. Julian "Didn''t you say that the league has no one working for them here in Orre, right?" Cynthia "Ya, why do you ask?" Julian "Well I just met this woman named Lily. She works for Professor Krane and she is iming that she is working with someone from the League," Cynthia "What? I don''t know anything about this," Julian "Are you sure? The league wouldn''t send someone to scout the region before telling you, right?" He asks. Cynthia "No, they wouldn''t. I am informed about every major decision that the league takes. Especially if they are nning to expand their influence in other regions." Julian "So who is this person that is iming to be from the league?" Julian asks. Cynthia "I don''t know. Let me get back to you after asking around. Love you," Julian "Love you too," The call ends leaving Julian wondering. For now, he decides to wait for Cynthia to get back to him as he makes his way to Mt. Battle. He opens the map application on his phone and starts studying the route he needs to take to get there. Julian ''Looks like I will have to go through Agate vige to reach Mt. Battle'' He thinks to himself after looking at the Map. Wanting to know more about the vige, he looks it up on the inte. Agate vige is situated on a mountain path making the terrain very hard to walk on, but to Julian''s surprise, the majority of the people living in the vige are old people. Julian "Ho, these old people must have some pretty strong bones for them to live up there," Julian says as he reads about the vige. Agate vige is small but a massive forest surrounds it, so finding it might be hard for people who have never been there before. Now that Julian has a rough idea about the vige, he sets off. Though the Orre region is small, getting there will take him some time. He could, of course, use Charizard to ride, but he wants to experience the new region onnd. To join the road that will lead him to Mt. Battle, Julian enters Gateon City once again. Riding by the ocean always feels great as the cold wind brush against his face. Julian drives down the port, following the road, when he notices something. He slows down his motorcycle as he sees Michael and Jovi being confronted by a veryrge man. Julian frowns and approaches the two. Julian "What''s going on here?" He asks grabbing Michael and Jovi''s attention along with the big bulky man. "Who the fuck are you?" The big burly man asks with his rough voice. Julian looks at the man and is surprised by how big he really is. The man is at least seven feet tall and should easily weigh around 250 kg. The man is clearly abusing some serious steroids to get so big. What Julian doesn''t understand is why is this steroid junky trying to pick a fight with children. Jovi "Mr. Strong trainer!" Jovi exims excitedly seeing Julian. She remembers him just like how her mother described him to her. A very strong Pokemon trainer. Michael "It''s Mr. Julian," He corrects his little sister, but she seems to heed to mind to her brother''s words. Ignoring the big burly man, Julian looks at Jovi and speaks to her. Julian "What''s going on here?" He asks. Jovi "This gori-like man is trying to bully us for no reason," Joviins while iling her finger at the big guy. "Huh? You little brat. What did you say?!!!" The burly man gets angry at Jovi''sment and approaches her, ready to swing his arm at the little girl. Chapter 1365: A Cipher Member? "You have a big mouth for being a little runt. Let me fix that for you!" The big burly man takes massive angry strides toward Jovi and raises his hand and makes a fist to hit the little girl. The steroid abuser seems to have no morals as he is willing to raise his hand on a little girl. Jovi flinches and closes her eyes in fright as she sees the big man is about to hit her but to her surprise, she didn''t get it. She opens her eyes and looks up to see Julian holding off the big man''s massive arm with just one hand. The burly man is also surprised by how the man, who isn''t even half his size, can stop him from hitting the girl. He clearly weighs double what Julian weighs, so he should have much more strength. Little does he know that his steroid-abused muscles are no match for the ones enhanced by the Omni force. The burly man looks at Julian and makes eye contact. As soon as the man sees Julian''s cold crimson eyes, he feels a shiver run down his spine.He quickly snaps his hand off Julian''s grip and backs off. "Don''t mess with me mother fucker. Who the fuck are you?" The burly man shouts angrily. Julian "It doesn''t concern you. Leave now or I will make sure you regret ever raising your hand against this little girl," Julian warns the burly man, but he knows idiots like this will not back down with just a warning. He just said it as a formality. Julian knows he will have to kick this guy''s ass. "Do you want to y hero mother fucker? You don''t know who you are messing with. I am Zook, the strongest trainer in all of Orre. You messed up big time." The burly man deres his name and ims to be the strongest trainer in all of Orre, which Julian doubts. Julian "I don''t give a shit who you are," Julian says. Zook "That''s it, you are done for!" He shouts and takes out a ck Pokeball. Julian scrunched his eyebrows as he saw the ck Pokeball in Zook''s hand. Zook throws the Pokeball and sends out a Shadow Zangoose. Julian "Where did you get that from?" Julian asks as Zook doesn''t seem like a Cipher member. He is too loud and gets too much attention. A Cipher member won''t do any of that out in public. Zook "I don''t know what you are talking about. Now battle me so that I can put you in your ce." Zook says. Julian ''Looks like I will have to use force,'' Julian thinks and sends out one of his Pokemon to battle as well. Vikavolt enters the battlefield. Julian used a thunderstone to evolve his Charjabug. Now is the perfect chance for him to test out Vikavolt''s strength against a Shadow Pokemon. Zook "What kind of pokemon is that?" He questions as his pea brain doesn''t know any pokemon that is found outside the Orre region. Zook "Well, it doesn''t matter what kind of Pokemon it is. I am the strongest," He deres and roars, flexing his massive muscles. Zook "Zangoose, use Metal w," Zook starts with a pretty dumb move. Metal w is a steel-type physical move, so its effect would be halved against an electric type like Vikavolt. On top of that Vikavolt can fly and that too extremely fast. Zangoose has no chance ofnding the attack. Julian "Use Thunderbolt" If there is one thing Vikavolt excels at, it is Special Attacks. As Vikavolt uses Thunderbolt, the lightning that he shoots instantly gets attracted by the steel energy covering the ws of Shadow Zangoose. The Thunderbolt would have hit Zangoose even if Vikavolt was off target. Metal provides the least amount of resistance, so electricity follows it. As soon as the Thunderbolt touches the metal-enhanced ws of Shadow Zangoose, it gets zapped brutally. Shadow Zangoose screams in pain and copses to the ground. This would have been the end of the battle if Zangoose was a normal pokemon, but this is just the beginning. Shadow pokemons ignore the pain and injury they suffer and continue fighting, like puppets on a string. Zook "Hahaha, look at that. See, my Pokemon is invincible. Nothing can stop it. I am going to destroy you." Zookughs like a maniac. Julian ''I should end this right now,'' Zook "Zangoose, use Fire Punch," He calls for a decent move this time but the result will be no different. Julian "Dodge and then mp down on the back of its neck," Julian gives his orders. Vikavolt makes sure to stay in striking distance to let Zangoose swing at him. Zangoose charges at Vikavolt and swings its fiery fist which Vikavolt easily dodges, canceling the move in the process. He then instantly appears behind Zangoose and mps down his mandibles right behind Zangoose''s neck. Julian "Time to end this," Chapter 1366: A Bald Man Chapter 1366: A Bald Man Zook "Hey let go of my Zangoose," Zook screams at Julian as he sees Julian''s Vikavolt mp down its mandibles on the back of his Zangoose''s neck. Shadow Zangoose started iling around, trying to free itself from Vikavolt''s grip, but it was useless. Julian "Now use Thunderwave and paralyze itpletely," Julian orders. Attacking a Shadow Pokemon is no use as they ignore all damage, even if they are seriously injured. It is best to incapacitate them and capture them to lessen the damage to these poor souls. Hearing Julian''smand, Vikavolt starts to vibrate his wings and releases waves of electricity into his surroundings. And with Shadow Zangoose being trapped in his jaw, it is the first one to get hit by it. Shadow Zangoose experiences the full brunt of the Thunderwave and loses all motor functions. Thunderwave is a move that travels in all directions, but its drawback is that the farther an opponent is, the lesser the effect the move has. But with Shadow Zangoose being right in front of Vikavolt, the move does phenomenal work.Shadow Zangoose''s body goes limp, but Julian can still see that it is conscious. So without wasting a second, he takes out a Pokeball, channels his energy into it, and tosses it at the Zangoose. The Pokeball hits the Zangoose and engulfs it. Zook "HEY! What are you doing?" He shouts seeing his Pokemon being captured right in front of his eyes. This should not be possible, but the man in front of him just did it. The Pokeball beeps three times and sessfully captures the Shadow Zangoose. Zook "How the fuck did you do that? Give back my Pokemon, you thief!" He shouts trying to cause amotion, but no one seems to be bothered by it. Zook is a local goon and people are fed up with his antics, so they revel in his loss. Julian "I will ask you onest time. Where did you get this Pokemon?" Julian asks again. This time in a more threatening way, but Zook is a stubborn man. Zook "I had enough of you!" With no intention of answering Julian''s question, Zook runs at Julian. Trying to punch him, but before he can get close, he gets a jolt of Thundershock. Not as strong as a Thunderbolt, but strong enough to bring down the massive muscle head. Zookes crashing down and hits his head on the ground, but his head to too thick to get knocked out from this. Zook groans and lifts his head up to see Julian''s legs right in front of his face. Before he can even get back to his feet, Julian lifts his leg, stomps down on Zook''s face, and pins him to the ground again. Julian "Let me ask you onest time. From where did you get this Pokemon?" Julian threatens. Zook "Fuck you," Zook curses at Julian. Julian doesn''t take this lightly and starts putting pressure down on Zook''s face. Zook feels his head being squished to the ground. Pain instantly radiates, and he starts squirming on the ground. Zook "Mother fucker, let.. me.. go..." Zook groans in pain, but Julian increases the pressure instead. By now, Zook feels as if his head is about to pop. He cannot take it anymore. Zook "Ok fine, s..stop, I will tell you," As soon as these wordse out of his mouth, Julian lessens the pressure, but he doesn''t take his foot off of Zook''s head. Julian "Start speaking," Zook "It was this girl with pink-colored hair, tied up in long pigtails. She gave it to me," Zook answered. Julian "Why did you give it to you? What did she say?" Julian asks another question. Zook "She just gave me the Pokemon and told me to pick fights with the locals and officials" He says. Julian stares coldly at Zook and finally lets him go. Zook immediately gets back to his feet and runs away, not wanting to spend a second in Julian''s presence. Julian doesn''t understand why would Cipher hand over their Shadow Pokemon to a goon like Zook. Julian "What are they trying to achieve?" Julian asks himself, as he doesn''t understand what Cipher is trying to do. He watches Zook run with his tail tucked between his legs and then turns around to look at Michael and Jovi. Julian "Are you two fine?" He asks looking at the two kids. He then notices that Jovi is looking at him with shining eyes. Jovi "Oh my god uncle, you are so strong!" She praises Julian. Julian "Uncle?" Julian questions, as this was the first time he has ever been called an uncle in this life. He didn''t care about the praise, but he definitely felt offended at being called an uncle. He is just 18. Julian "How old do you think I am?" He asks looking down at Jovi. Jovi "I don''t know. You are so big, so you should at least be 30," Jovi says as she looks up at Julian. Julian sighed in defeat and decided to not bother with the little girl. Julian "Ok now, run away, Don''t go around causing trouble," He says, sends Vikavolt back into his Pokeball, gets back on his bike, and drives away. What he didn''t know was someone was watching him leave. A very short, bald man watched standing on top of a docked ship as Julian left. "What is he doing here?" The bald man asks the two men who are standing behind him, one with red hair and the other with blue. "We don''t know sir," The red-haired one spoke. "Get rid of him before hees knocking on our door," The old man says and walks into the ship. Chapter 1367: Dimension Chapter 1367: Dimension Julian finally exited the port city of Gateon. The roads outside the city were much rougherpared to the ones in the city. It showed the underdevelopment of the Orre region. He is not even five minutes away from the city and the roads are already rough, but Julian has experience driving on rough roads, so he continues onward. Julian ''My next stop should be Agate Town'' He thought as he started seeing mountain reigns on the horizon. The mountain should be Mt. Battle and Agate Town is near to the mountain. After riding for hours, Julian entered a forest. Life in the forest is very lively, but Julian isn''t interested in catching any pokemons that can be found here. He has seen them and even trained some of them. His sole purpose of visiting Orre is to deal with Cipher and nothing else. The sky was getting darker so Julian set up a camp like the old days and let his pokemons run wild and mess around a bit as he watched them with a content smile.This has always been what he wanted. To travel and experience the world, but sometimes he would need to step up and handle things by himself because if he doesn''t, the world will be a shitty ce. _____________________ At dawn''s break, Julian continued his journey towards Mt. Battle. After a day of riding, he saw a mountain range getting close. And before him stood a big hilly terrain. Julian "This must be Agate Vige," He says looking at the hilly terrain. Twisting the elerator on his bike, he drives towards the vige. Julian stops at the vige''s gate. The gate is unique as it isn''t made of bricks or concrete. It''s just two pirs made of small rocks bncing on top of each other without any glue or support to hold them in ce. It looked like it would fall if someone ced their hands on the pirs, but that is not the case. Julian can tell that these pirs are as sturdy as they can be. He could also sense a type of energy holding the rocks together. Julian "This vige is special," He said and got off his bike. The roads of this vige are not suitable for driving his bike on. He will need to walk. Agate vige is situated on a mountain range which might make it difficult to live in for some people. But to Julian''s surprise, the majority of this vige''s poption are old people... Very fit old people. He saw these old people walk up steep mountain roads without breaking a sweat. Every time they saw Julian walk past them, they smiled at him and weed him to their humble vige. Some of them even stopped him and started praising him for being very handsome and wanting to introduce their granddaughters to him. Julian just smiled, listened to them, and continued walking up the route. Suddenly, the little gremlin in Julian''s pocket popped its head out and started staring in a certain direction. Julian "What''s going on, you little gremlin?" Julian questions as looks down at Crystal. He knows the little gremlin won''t just pop its head out for nothing. It must have sensed something to wake it up from its sleep. Crystal suddenly flies out of his pocket and rushes up the path. Julian quickens his steps and follows Crystal. After following Crystal for a few minutes, Julian finds himself in front of a waterfall. Crystal stopped right in front of it and started staring intensely at the waterfall. Crystal "gggeeeeeee" Crystal narrowed its eyes for a few seconds, and then suddenly shot into the waterfall. Julian realizes that there is a cave behind the waterfall so he follows Crystal and walks into the waterfall while protecting himself from the water using Omniforce. Once behind the waterfall, Julian is greeted by a glowing cave. Blue crystals are all over the walls of the cave, illuminating the cave in the process. Julian walks up to one of the crystals and feels energy radiating from these crystals. Julian "From the looks of it, people have not discovered this cave." Julian says. If people had found this cave, they would have already started mining it, especially in a region controlled by Cipher. He then moved deeper inside the cave following Crystal''s trail. The cave was smaller than he expected. It only took him a few minutes to reach the other end of the cave. He walks up to the exit that is shining brightly from the light entering the cave. As soon as he takes in the scenery after exiting the cave, he is bbergasted. He physically felt his body passing through a thin veil and entering another dimension. There is greenery everywhere. nt life that he has never seen before. Julian looks up to see an endless sky. He can feel the overwhelming amount of Omniforce present in his surroundings. This feels the same as when he entered that Mewir in the past. He sees Crystal hovering around the tform, looking curiously at it. Julian also gets curious and walks up to the tform to examine it when he suddenly feels someone else enter the dimension. "Who are you?" A rough old voice calls out Julian. Chapter 1368: The Strongest? Chapter 1368: The Strongest? Hearing the rough voice, Julian turns around to see an old man with long, white hair and a long beard. It''s not just his hair and beard, even his eyebrows are long and bushy. Julian also notices the Pikachu standing on his shoulder, reminding him of Ash. Julian "Who are you?" Julian asks back. He didn''t expect to encounter anyone after entering a hidden dimension, and from the looks of it, this old man was aware of its existence as he came from the same route as Julian. "I am Eagun, vige chief of Agate vige. You are not supposed to be here." Eugan says with a frown. This dimension is supposed to be a secret that only a couple of people should be aware of and this man in front of him is not one of them. Julian looks at the old man and can tell that he is an experienced trainer. Though Julian doesn''t care how strong the old man is, he doesn''t want a confrontation with someone he doesn''t know yet. Julian "I wandered in following my Pokemon," Julian says and points at Crystal, who is still flying around the tform, looking at it curiously.Eugan is astonished when his eyes fall on Crystal. Eugan "A Mew?" He questions. He has heard and read legends about this Pokemon and has seen some illustrations of it in ancient texts and st. ording to legends, every Pokemon is a descendant of this Pokemon, making it the most mysterious Pokemon in history. He can''t believe he is actually seeing one in real life. Eugan ''Is it really a Mew?'' He questions himself as he notices some irregrities. Eugan ''This Mew has two tails! And what is that red crystal on its forehead?'' His old curious eyes can''t move away from the fascinating creature that is Crystal. Julian "What is that tform?" Julian''s question instantly snaps Eugan back to sense. Eugan "It''s nothing," He answers quickly. Julian "If it were nothing, my Pokemon wouldn''t have dragged me all the way here into a different dimension," Julian says. Eugan doesn''t know how to answer. He didn''t expect this person to actually identify this hidden dimension. Most people would think they just came out from the other side of the cave. Eugan "You still didn''t answer my question. Who are you?" Eugan tries deflecting the conversation. Julian is, of course, not dumb not to notice this, but he decides to not make this difficult for this old man since he has nowhere to run. Julian "I am a traveller. I came to Orre to handle some business." Eugan "Business? What kind?" He asks as he is still very suspicious of Julian. Julian too wonders who this Eugan really is. Should he trust a person who appeared out of nowhere, especially inside a hidden dimension? Julian ''There is only one way to figure it out.'' He thinks and speaks up. Julian "I am here to handle Cipher business," Julian reveals without bothering to hide it. Being who he is, he is really not worried about retaliation from this old man. His other reason for revealing his intention is to see how the old man reacts. If he is hostile towards Cipher, then he is someone Julian can trust. But if he sees Cipher favorably, then Julian has no problem dealing with him. Eugan "You work for Cipher?" Eugan''s voice rises and it isced with anger. His emotion is very animated on his face. With such a vivid expression, how could Julian not notice it? Julian ''Looks like I found an ally'' Julian thinks looking at the old man. Julian "No, I do not work for Cipher. I am here to get rid of them." Julian clears the suspicion immediately. He doesn''t want Eugan to run wild with his imagination and misunderstand the situation. Eugan "Get rid of them?" Eugan asks. Julian then begins telling Eugan how he encountered Cipher in the Aln inds and how they went around causing trouble. Eugan "I see... But aren''t you overestimating yourself? You alone can''t take down Cipher. Someone tried before and they almost seeded, but Cipher has resurfaced again." Julian "I know what I signed up for, but I do want to know about this person you mentioned. Do you know who and where they are?" Eugan stared at Julian and then back at his weird-looking Mew. Eugan ''He should be capable if he has such a unique Pokemon under him,'' Eugan thought. Taking down Cipher single-handedly is not impossible, as it has been done before, but the person who did that was exceptionally strong. Maybe the strongest Pokemon trainer he ever met in his life. He couldn''t see anyonepare to him, no matter how unique a Pokemon they have in their possession. Eugan "He is an exceptional Pokemon trainer. The strongest I ever met in my entire life. His name is Wes. As for where he is right now? I don''t know" Eugan says. Julian "Wes, huh." Julian ponders on this name, trying to remember if he has evere across it, but he hits nk. He has nevere across or heard of anyone named Wes. Now Julian is very eager to meet this Wes. Eugan is a very old man and for him to say that Wes is the strongest Pokemon trainer he ever met made Julian a little excited. _____________________________ Author request_ I don''t feel right doing this and is quite embarrassing, but I am desperate.

Julian asks, as Wes is the only person who knows how to reverse the effect of shadowfication. Eugan "No, he just disappeared five years ago," Eugan answers. This is not the answer Julian wants to hear, and it sets a frown on his face. Eugan "Why are you looking for Wes?" Eugan asks. Julian "Isn''t it obvious? He is the only one who knows how to cure shadow pokemons. Without him, those poor pokemons will continue to suffer." Julian answers.Hearing this, Eugan sees Julian in a new light. He realizes that Julian is not here just to avenge but also to help those suffering. Eugan "... You don''t need him," Eugan suddenly speaks up, grabbing Julian''s utmost attention with his words. Julian "Do you know how to cure shadow pokemons?" Julian asks with some hope in his voice. Eugan "You asked about that tform, right?" Eugan says signaling to the tform with his head. Julian "Is that the cure?" Julian looks back at the ancient crack-riddled tform. Julian ''It does make sense for Crystal to be attracted to it if it holds some unique power,'' He thinks. Julian ''I need to get a closer look,'' Eugan "It''s just one part of it," Eugan says stopping Julian''s train of thought. Julian "What''s the other part?" He asks curiously. Eugan "Celebi" Eugan says causing a long silence to follow. Julian "You mean the mythical Pokemon Celebi?" Julian asks to confirm what he just heard. Eugan "Yes," Eugan confirms it. Julian "How does it work?" Julian asks. If he knows how it works, then maybe he can replicate it. Eugan "As you know, Celebi is a Pokemon that can travel through time, and that thing over there can be viewed as a power amplifier. Celebi can''t control time in general, but with the help of that tform, it can concentrate on a certain amount of things, whether they are living or inanimate objects, and can influence them with time." Eugan then begins exining how Celebi managed to cure all those shadow pokemons Julian "You are saying that five years ago, Celebi used this tform to cure all those shadow pokemons by reversing their body and soul using time?" Eugan nods. Eugan "But it requires a lot of energy. Wes was beside Celebi when they cured all those shadow pokemons. He had to continuously feed Celebi with energy for it to manipte time on such arge scale," Eugan revealed. Julian "This justplicates everything," He murmurs, as he will have to find Celebi to cure all those poor shadow pokemons. Julian "What about Celebi? Do you know where it wasst seen?" Eugan "It doesn''t matter. You will have an easier time finding Wes than Celebi. Celebi travels through time. It might be in the past, future, or somepletely different region," Julian "You are right," He also didn''t have any confidence in finding Celebi. Unless fate intervenes, Julian can forget about even getting a glimpse of it. Celebi is an extraordinary Pokemon and theory suggests that there is only one Celebi throughout time. The Celebi of the past is the same as the one in the present and will be the same in the future as well. Julian will have an easier time finding most of the mythical and legendary Pokemons than finding Celebi. Julian ''Looks like I will have to stick to the current n,'' Julian thinks and brings his attention back to Crystal. He approaches the tform while Eugan keeps close to him. As soon as he steps within a certain radius of the tform, Julian is hit by a st of thick Omniforce. Julian ''I can''t doubt the old man''s words with what I have in front of me.'' He thinks as he checks out the tform. The signature of the Omniforceing from this tform is not something foreign to Julian. He has felt this before. Julian "Dialga..." Julian murmurs as he now understands how Celebi was able to ess the power of time on such arge scale. Eugan "DId you say Dialga?" Eugan, who was close to Julian, heard his murmur and immediately questioned. Julian "Well, it''s the only logical exnation," Julian doesn''t reveal much. He doesn''t want people to know that he can feel the energies of time. Eugan "Make sense," He says and brings his attention back to Crystal, who is by now bored looking at the tform and seeing nothing happen. Crystal turns its head to look at Eugan, who doesn''t interest it much. it then looks at the Pikachu that is sitting on Eugan''s shoulder. Seeing there is someone new to y, Crystal approaches Pikachu and greets it. "~Mew~" "~kacuuu~" They both greet each other and instantly be fast friends. They then quickly run off ying whatever game they invented. Eugan "Is that a Mew?" Not being able to hold his curiosity any longer, Eugan asks. Julian "Not exactly. Crystal is a mutant." Julian didn''t lie. Crystal might look like a Mew but because of Omniforce, Crystal''s DNA structure is very different and much more advanced than your typical Mew. Eugan doesn''t know what to think of this as the creature in front of him is one of a kind. He knows he will never see anything like Crystal ever again and this makes him happy. When he was young, Eugan traveled around the world, catching pokemons and learning about them. Seeing Crystal made him reminisce about his childhood. The feeling he got froming across a Pokemon he had never seen before during his young days traveling is definitely worth cherishing. Chapter 1370: Mt. Battle Chapter 1370: Mt. Battle Inside a small house on top of Agate vige. Eugan "I didn''t expect someone outside of Orre will be concerned by Cipher''s shenanigans," Julian "Well, they are no longer satisfied with just influencing Orre. They want the whole world under their control, and until I am around, I won''t let it happen" Julian says as he looks at his Crystal chasing around the little Pikachu. Eugan stares at Julian as he wonders how strong Julian really is to make such a bold statement. "Sorry for the wait dear," an old woman walks in with a tray in her hand. She then hands Julian a cup of tea. Julian takes the cup with a smile and thanks her. He sips the tea and is presently surprised by how fresh and delicious it tastes. Julian "This is amazing," He praises the sweet granny to which she smiles at him and leaves Julian and Eugan alone.Julian "I am looking for someone named Vander. Do you know anything about him?" Julian asks. Eugan being a wise old man, Julian expects him to know a thing or two that other people might not be aware of. Eugan "Vander? Yes, I know him. He is a goodd and is fighting a good fight against Cipher. Why are you looking for him?" Eugan asks. Julian "I need something from him," Julian doesn''t say much. He thinks it''s better to keep the details to himself, as he doesn''t want anything toe back and bite him. He doesn''t suspect Eugan, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Eugan is smart and wise enough to know that Julian is not telling him everything, but he doesn''t bother forcing it out of Julian. He is an old man, and his only job now is to keep Agate vige safe as its head. As for the whole Orre region, he will have to leave it to the youth of thisnd because where evil flourishes, heroes always rise to take them down. ________________________ Though Julian didn''t learn anything about Vander during his stay, he did uncover a massive piece of information about what happened five years ago. A trainer named Wes was able to defeat Cipher and also help shadow pokemons recover with the help of Celebi. Now Julian knows how to deal with this shadow Pokemon situation. He might be able to look for an alternative. But finding this alternative will be extremely difficult as well, an alternative that can control time. Julian hasn''t heard of anything like this before, but this world is magical, so he might stumble up on something. He just needs to look harder. Or he can just look for Celebi if he wants to waste a lifetime. Julian doesn''t stay in Agate vige for much longer and continues on the trail towards Mt. Battle. The longer he takes to find Professor Krane, the more the chance of him ending up in a very bad situation. The drive towards Mt. Battle was not easy as the terrain was not friendly on wheels and it would take too long by foot. So Julian had no other option but to use Charizard and fly toward the top of Mt. Battle. Once high up in the sky above Mt. Battle, Julian looks at the town below him. He can''t believe people actually live here up on top of a volcanic mountain and it looks like a thriving ce. Julian orders Charizard tond close by so that he doesn''t trigger the guards stationed around the town and think of him as a hostile presence. It will be a hassle to deal with. On foot, he approaches the gate of Mt. Battle and two people in official gear immediately stop him. They are the gate guardians of Mt. Battle. These two are responsible for keeping trouble out of the town. "Sir, please stop," One of them stops Julian politely. Even though they look rough and burly, they seem to be respectful, which Julian appreciates. "You don''t look like a residence from this town. Please show us your ID or entry pass if you don''t have an ID with you," the other guard asks. Julian then takes out a card that was given to him by Lily. She said that he would need it to enter Mt. Battle. Julian "Here," Julian hands over the pass to one of the guards. The guard takes a scanner and scans the card, causing the device to light green. "Here you go." He hands the pass back to Julian. "Wee to Mt. Battle," The other guard says and finally lets Julian enter the town. Mt. Battle is a special town and has been known for its incredible heritage. Kings of the past lived here and ruled all of Orre. So controlling Mt. Battle is like controlling the whole Orre region. The person in charge of Mt. Battle is Vander and Lily said that he works as a double agent for them, trying to free Orre of Cipher''s control. Mt. Battle Mountain itself is impressive as it is an active volcano and it looks incredibly grand from the outside, but Julian finds the town no less impressive from the inside as well. Massive tforms connect formingrge bridges that the townfolk use to move around. And since this town is built on top of an active volcano, these tforms have special machinery to keep the surroundings cool. He feels the temperature here is much more pleasant than outside as he looks down from the edge to see boilingva. While looking around, he feels someone watching him. He turns his head to find a tall man with red hair and ck sses looking at him. Julian is immediately on alert as he feels the man''s intention, even though his eyes are hidden behind the sses. Julian ''This man wants to kill me. But why? Is he a Cipher member too?'' Seeing that Julian is looking at him, the man approaches Julian with a smile on his face. "Wee," he greets Julian with the most friendly smile possible. Julian ''This bastard... Let''s see where this goes.'' Julian thinks and decides to y along. Chapter 1371: Vander Chapter 1371: Vander "Wee. My name is Eldes, and I am a resident of Mt. Battle. Are you perhaps an adventurer?" Eldes asks in a friendly tone. Julian "How did you know?" Julian ys along. He can already feel this man''s intentions. So now he wants to figure out this man. Eldes "You are clearly not a native and definitely not from Orre. These eyes have seen the world after all" Julian "Impressive," Eldes "Hahaha, it''s nothing. Well, anyway, I just wanted to wee you to our humble town when I saw you." Julian "Thankyou," Eldes "Now, be careful out there. The region is not stable right now and there are dangers everywhere. Especially for an adventurer like you. Thieves and bandits walking around with ill intentions" He warns and walks awayJulian ''This bastard is definitely cooking up something,'' Julian thinks and continues looking around the town. Even though he is on a mission, he can''t help but get distracted by theplex town that Mt. Battle is. Even after being one of the poorest regions in the world, innovation is very present here. People have built so many unique machines and devices that Julian has never seen before and that too on such arge scale. He can''t help but wonder what the people of this region will be able to do once they are free of Cipher''s control and when the region starts flourishing with development projects from other richer regions. As a rich man, he too sees great potential in this region and he wouldn''t mind opening a mechanical and technological branch here. Done with looking around, Julian starts asking for Vander and he quickly gets an address. He arrives at the town center and finds a grand building that is very ancient. It looks like a king''s pce. Well, it used to be one. Now it is a government building where the town leader lives. He walks in and sees wild pokemons upying the gardens. They are small and harmless so the officials don''t bother chasing them away. Julian arrives at the front gate and is immediately stopped once again by an official guard. "Halt! State your business!" The guard shouts. Julian "I am here to meet Mr. Vander. Here you can show this to him." Julian says and hands over the same card he used to get inside the town, just as Lily suggested. The guard takes the card and goes in. Soon after, he rushes out and wees Julian into the mansion. Once in, Julian is immediately greeted by an elegant maid who guides him to the office room. She knocks on the office room''s door and announces his presence. "Come in." A strong masculine voicees from the other end. The maid pushes the door open and guides Julian inside. Julian sees a man in his thirties with short maroon hair, brown eyes, and wearing an elegant-looking suit, fitting for a man in charge. Vander "You are Mr. Julian, wee!" Vander gets out of his seat and walks up to Julian to greet him with a handshake. Julian shakes his hand and greets back. Julian "It''s a pleasure to meet you Mr. Vander," Julian says. Vander "You may leave," Vander says to the maid. The maid bows and leaves, leaving Julian and Vander alone. Vander "Please take a seat," Vander insists. Julian sits down and so does Vander. Julian "If you know me, then you must know why I am here?" Julian asks. Vander "I am sorry Mr. Julian. I only knew it was you when I saw you. Who doesn''t know the great Julian? I allowed you to meet me because of the card you had in your possession. Prior to this, I did not know you were here. As for the reason for your visit, you need to be more specific" Vander says. Julian ''Looks like Lily hasn''t told anyone about the kidnapping. Not even Vander,'' Julian thinks as he stares at Vander, making Vander a little ufortable. Julian "So you work for the resistance," Julianments, catching Vander off guard, but he quickly collects himself. Vander "Lily must have told you about me since you have her card," Vander says to which Julian nods her head. Julian "She sent me here as I am looking for someone. She said you are the only person who can help." Julian says. Vander "Who are you looking for?" Vander asks. Julian "Professor Krane has been kidnapped and I need to know where he might have taken." Julian says. Vander "What Professor Krane has been kidnapped?" Vander gets off his seat and asks in shock. Julian "Don''t you work as an informant? Weren''t you aware of this?" Julian asks. Vander "I was not informed about this at all," Vander says. Julian ''Hmm, they didn''t tell him. Do they suspect him of being a double agent?'' Julian questions, but doesn''t voice out his thoughts. Julian "Well, what matters right now is to find Professor Krane. Do you know where he could be taken?" Julian asks again. After giving it some thought, Vander finally speaks. Vander "I think I know... There is a hiddenb in a desert south of the mountain... It is the only ce I can think of as It''s the closest to Gateon and located in a very remote area. It will be difficult to locate without directions," Vander says. Julian "Do you have the directions?" Julian asks to which Vander shakes his head. Vander "No, I got hold of this information secretly. I don''t know where exactly it is," Vander says. Julian "It''s good enough for me. I will take my leave then" Julian says and leaves. Chapter 1372: Search For The Lab Chapter 1372: Search For The Lab On his way to Mt. Battle, Julian did see a desert on the horizon down south, but he didn''t think much about it, as very few people call it home. Almost all of the southern region of Orre is a massive desert with only one water body in the southwest and light vegetation in the southeast. Now Julian has to find thisb hidden somewhere in this vast desert. He at least knows that theb is just south of Mt. Battle, so it won''t be long before he finds something. On his way out of the town, he sees Eldes once again, but this time he doesn''t bother greeting Julian, he just smiles from afar, acknowledging Julian. Julian hopes that Eldes doesn''t beat around the bushes andes after him sooner because it will give him an excuse to capture Eldes and question him. He can tell that Eldes is someone important and, with Eldes''s intention of killing him, Julian is sure that he is from Cipher. Julian ''I wonder how long he will wait till he makes a move.'' Julian thinks as he walks out of the town. He takes a detour, arrives at the southern side of Mt. Battle, and looks at the horizon. There is nothing but endless desertednd, and Julian needs to find ab that is hidden somewhere in it.Julian ''I will need more eyes,'' He thinks and calls out some of his pokemons. Vikavolt, Charizard, Gengar, and Kyurem. Julian "Scour the desert and try to find ab located somewhere remote or hidden." With Julian''s instruction, Vikavolt, Gengar, and Kyurem fly away. Julian then hops on Charizard and joins the search as well. It is better to not waste any more time and begin the search for Professor Krane. Who knows what state he is in right now? Julian doesn''t believe that he is killed because Cipher kidnapped him for a specific reason, but that doesn''t mean he will not be harmed. They could be torturing him this very moment to force him to do their bidding. People might think that they can handle torture, but they can''t. Sooner orter, they will break and will be obedient. Even the toughest of trained men give up. You would need to have a monstrous amount of willpower to handle one, but Professor Krane is just a simple man. He has no prior training, he won''tst long. If he opens his mouth and Cipher gets what they want, they will dispose of him. Killing someone important and influential like Professor Krane will deal a massive blow to not only the Resistance but also the hope of curing shadow pokemons. ________________________ Charizard keeps a steady pace as he flies lower than usual while also keeping a vignt eye. It has been half an hour and Charizard has covered a great deal ofnd, but there is still no sign of theb Julian is looking for. On foot, it would have taken him days toplete the same task. This is the most efficient method he could think of. He could, of course, deploy more of his pokemons but they won''t be of much help as they can''t fly. As for Crystal, well, it''s deep asleep right now, and Julian doesn''t trust Crystal enough to look for a remoteb in a vast desert. It would instead run off to y with the wild pokemons and harass them. A few more minutes go by when Julian suddenly receives a message from Kyurem. Looks like Kyurem found theb he is looking for. He doesn''t expect any less from a legendary Pokemon like Kyurem. Julian guides Charizard to the location where Kyurem is and also informs his pokemons to meet him there. With Charizard''s incredible speed, it doesn''t take Julian long to reach Kyurem. Hovering next to Kyurem, Julian looks down at the desertednd below him. To the naked eye, it is no different from a barren, desertednd with nothing growing on it, only dust, but a legendary Pokemon like Kyurem can easily see through such illusions. Knowing that there is something here, Julian uses his power to enhance his vision. He sees it. Past the invisible barrier is a small building with a thick metallic gate. Julian "Looks like theb is underground," Julian says and instructs Charizard tond. His other pokemons alsoe back from their search. Julian sends them back to their Pokemon and starts making his way towards the invisible barrier. Suddenly he jumps back as he senses danger. A massive blob of burningvands right where his feet were a second ago. Julian ''Lava Plume'' Julian thinks as he knows this Pokemon move. A very powerful fire-type move. He quickly looks up and sees six hoverbikes ridden by six men dressed in colorful Cipher uniforms. Unlike normal Cipher members, he has encountered till now who were only silver armor. These hover bike riding members all have different color armor. Red, Brown, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. The one that just attacked him is the member in red with his Magcargo. Julian ''So this is how you wanna do it,'' Julian thinks and smirks, looking at the six idiots who have just been thrown into the lion''s jaw. Chapter 1373: Traitor? Chapter 1373: Traitor? Julian ''Wait, something''s not right,'' Julian thinks when he is suddenly attacked once again. A thunderboltes shooting at him, but Julian is agile enough to move out of the way. The Thunderbolt strikes the sand and instantly turns it into ss. The member that just attacked right now is wearing yellow armor, and the Pokemon beside him is Manectric, an electric-type Pokemon that is known for its speed and special attacks. Julian ''They were waiting for me to ambush me. How did they know I was here already?'' He questions. Julian ''It can''t be Eldes. I am certain that I was not followed.'' Julian thinks. If someone was following him, he would have immediately known. These six cipher members knew that he wasing here and were ready to attack him on sight. And there is only one person who knew he wasing here, Vander.As Julianes to this conclusion, he jumps back once again as another attack is thrown at him. This time the attacking member is wearing green armor and his Pokemon is Cacturne. It used Pin Missiles to overwhelm Julian, but he was swift enough to dodge them all. Purple "What are you idiots doing? You are all missing so badly." The purple member speaks up in frustration seeing they can''t take down a single man. Julian ''Is Vander lying about working with the Resistance?'' Julian questions as he dodges a Sludge Bomb. The blob of poison touches the sand and starts hissing. Frustrated with his teammate''s failure, the purple member took charge and attacked Julian with his Muk, but he, too, failed. Blue "Sir Eldes said that he will be hard to kill. We need to attack together." The blue cipher member says. Julian ''Eldes? So it is him! But how did he know I wasing here?... There can be only one answer. Vander told him. Looks like this Vander is not really on our side.'' Julian thinks and looks at the six cipher members. Julian ''Four of them have attacked and all four of these attacks were simr in strength, meaning all six of them are almost equal in strength.'' Julian concludes and calls out his Marshadow. The six color rangers see Julian''s Marshadow and immediately get excited. Brown "That''s a Marshadow! We will get a massive reward from Sir Eldes if we hand it over to him after we are done killing this man." The brown cipher member says with excitement. His feelings are reciprocated by the other five as well. A mythical Pokemon that is the master of shadows is definitely something their boss will be interested in. Red "Let''s all attack together!" Red, who is the leader of the bunch, orders and they all immediatelymand their pokemons to use their best moves to attack Julian and Marshadow. Julian "Counter with shadow balls" Using Julian''s signature thought move, Marshadow conjures multiple shadow balls and shoots them like bullets from a Gatling gun at the iing hoard of attacks. Each shadow ball easily cancels the opposing attack, but Marshadow isn''t done. He continues to shoot his shadow balls at the six colored cipher members. The shadow balls cause devastation as they make contact with the hoverbikes. Each of them explodes and sends the members riding on it crashing into the ground along with their pokemons. Due to the strong armor they are wearing, they only get first-degree burns from the explosion as they all are back up on their feet. Yellow "Shit! His Marshadow is too strong. We need to coordinate our moves and n out an attack" Yellow suggests, but it is toote for suggestions. Julian "Use Shadow Sneaks" Now that all of the pokemons are on the ground and grouped up, Marshadow is able to show off one of his core abilities. With a sh, Marshadow disappears into the shadow, appears behind Magcargo, and sts the back of its head with a powerful strike. And the very next instant, Marshadow is back inside his shadow before appearing right behind Muk and knocking it out with the same move. Within seconds, Marshadow uses Shadow Sneak multiple times and knocks out all six of the cipher pokemons. These pokemons didn''t even know what hit them before they were out cold. As for the six colored cipher members, they just watch all this happen dumbfounded. Green "This is bad. We arepletely outmatched and out-skilled. Sir Eldes sent us here to die," The green member starts to panic, causing a chain reaction, and others start shouting frantically as well. Red "Shut Up!" Red, the leader, shouts and shuts all of them up. Red "Did you forget who we are? We are the Hexagon Squad. We are the strongest six-member team in cipher. And we are definitely not going to lose to this punk. DO YOU ALL UNDERSTANT???" His speech immediately motivates them, causing them to calm down. Red "And let''s not forget. We still haven''t used our secret weapons," Red says and grins as he envisions Julian''s doom. Chapter 1374: One Vs Six Chapter 1374: One Vs Six Outmatched and out-skilled, the Hexagon Six team has only one option, and it is theirst resort. Each of them takes out a dark-colored Pokeball. Seeing the balls in their hand, Julian knows what they are thinking, but he doesn''t stop them. With each throw of the Pokeball, a shadow pokemones out and surrounds Marshadow. Shadow Houndoom, Shadow ydol, Shadow Ampharos, Shadow Shiftry, Shadow Walrein, Shadow Swalot. Each of these pokemon would be a threat on their own, but now they are working as a group. On top of that, they have been turned into shadow pokemons, meaning they will continue to fight past their limits and never stop unless rendered useless, or incapable of moving. Red "Let''s see how you handle our shadow pokemons. Boys, let''s show this fucker what we are made of." The red member speaks, encouraging his team to fight. Red "Houndoom, Fire Fang," Brown "ydol, Psybeam"Yellow "Ampharos, Thunderbolt" Green "Shiftry, Leaf de" Blue "Walrein, Aurora Beam" Purple "Sludge Bomb" All six of them call out specific moves rted to their pokemon''s type and attack Marshadow simultaneously. All six of these attacks were not normal in nature, due to the pokemons'' shadowfication, these attacks also have shadow elements making them more devastating. Julian "Protect" Julian orders as the shadow-empowered Thunderbolt, Psybeam, and Aurora Beambine to form a singr devastating energy st. Usually moves onlybine when theyplement each other, for example, a Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt as water conducts electricity. But in this case, these three moves being of the elements electricity, psychic, and ice, they don''t mix together but because of the shadowfication of the moves as well, these three nonpatible moves are able tobine to unlock incredible power. Marshadow immediately conjures up an energy barrier to block the fusion move. The multi-color shadowy beam crashes into the energy barrier and immediately cracks it. Marshadow grits his teeth and tries to reinforce the barrier, but the Sludge Bomb that wasgging due to its low speed finally catches up and hits the barrier and starts eroding it. Julian "Dodge," Marshadow has no other option but to dodge hearing Julian''s order, as the power behind thisbined attack is too much for him to handle. Marshadow is still not at a level where he can solo six elite-level pokemons on his own, and these pokemons are even more ridiculous because of shadowfication. Marshadow dodges while letting the energy barrier copse. The barrier was able to hold the beam long enough for Marshadow to dodge it, but his problems were not over. As soon as Marshadow was out of the beam''s trajectory, he was immediately attacked from both sides by Shadow Houndoom and Shadow Shiftry. They attacked in a scissor formation, Houndoom from the left and Shiftry from the right. Julian "Sucker Punch, then Shadow Sneak" Sucker Punch is a move that will always be faster than the opponent, so it managed to smash the snout of Houndoom. Houndoom was the best target for Sucker Punch because its defense is lesser than Shiftry. Though both Houndoom and Shiftry are resistant to dark-type moves, the move still managed to cancel our Houndoom''s Fire Fang. Marshadow then immediately used Shadow Sneak and disappeared into the shadow, causing Shiftry to continue forward with its attack on Houndoom, who is now in its receiving end. The Leaf dends clean on Houndoom and sends it flying. Marshadow then appears right behind Shiftry and hits the back of Shiftry''s head with overwhelming force. Marshadow disappears again using Shadow Sneak appears behind ydol and smacks it with dark energy as well, sending the physic-type pokemon crashing into the hot sand. As these exchanges take ce, Julian notices something. When Shiftry''s Leaf dended on Houndoom, it did very little damage to Houndoom. Sure, Houndoom is resistant to grass-type attacks, but the damage was still too low. Julian ''Looks like shadow pokemons are resistant to shadow-enhanced moves,'' Julian concludes. Though Marshadow managed to get the upper hand in the exchange, it couldn''t do much to produce an oue. These are shadow pokemons, they will ignore all the injuries they have and continue to push their body to the physical limits, even if it means causing self-harm. Julian ''Marshadow is not strong enough to handle all six of these, but it should be good training for him.'' Julian thinks that this battle will push Marshadow to his limit so he can understand his powers a little better, learn to control them more efficiently, and continue to grow stronger. The three pokemons that were dropped got back to their feet immediately, even after taking multiple attacks. ydol is the one that suffered the most damage as it is weak to dark-type moves, but it too shows no sign of fatigue. The hexagon members immediately go on the attack again. They throw multiple attacks at Marshadow, and Marshadow continues to counter, dodge, and attack them when the opportunity arises. His Shadow Sneak bes a major factor in the battle as it allows him to not only dodge but also get right behind the enemy and deliver powerful blows. But this will only work a few times. The Hexagon team is an experienced bunch, so they easily find a counter to this annoying move, They order their pokemons to guard each other''s backs and because of this, whenever Marshadow tries to use Shadow Sneak; he gets countered and hit by one of the shadow pokemons. Whenever Julian thinks that Marshadow is in a pinch, he steps in and turns the tide once again in Marshadow''s favor. The Hexagon Six notices this and decides to do something about it. Red "Let''s get rid of him first or he will continue to cause trouble." Chapter 1375: Bad Idea Chapter 1375: Bad Idea Red "Let''s get rid of him first or he will continue to be a nuisance" Red says as he sees how annoying Julian''s presence in the battle is. Whenever they get the upper hand on Marshadow and are about to take it down, Julian steps in and easily guides Marshadow out of the pinch. The Hexagon Six are smart enough to realize that with Julian around, they might not win this battle at all, even if they have their Shadow pokemons with them. Red "Brown, Green, and Blue, continue your assault on Marshadow. The rest,e join me, and let''s end this fool" Red orders. Purple and Yellow join Red and approach Julian. Red "You have been quite an annoyance, but not anymore. Houndoom, shred him to pieces, use Fire Fang," Yellow "Ampharos, trap and zap him with Electro Web" Purple "Swalot, poison the fool, use Belch"The three order their pokemons to attack Julian all at once. First wille the Electro Web, trapping Julian under it and electrocuting him with a high current of electricity. (A/N - It is the current that electrocutes us when passing through our body and not voltage) Then he will be drenched in a toxic blob of vomit thates straight from Swalot''s stomach. It is more toxic than a Sludge Bomb. Then Houndoom will have its way with Julian by digging its fangs into Julian''s flesh and ripping him into shreds. But none of this happens. When the Electric Web tries to envelop him, it hits an invisible barrier and fades away. The Belch also does nothing as ites in contact with the invisible barrier, slides down on the ground, and starts eating through the desert sand. Houndoom charges forth with fire zing in its mouth. It opens its jaws wide open and pounces at Julian wanting to take a huge chunk out of him, but a ck tentacle immediately shoots out of Julian''s shadow and wraps around Houndoom''s jaw, snapping it shut. The tentacle lifts the Houndoom in the air by its snout as it struggles to free itself. Red, Yellow, and Purple are dumbfounded seeing this. Purple "What''s happening?" Purple questions, but neither of his team members knows the answer. Red "It doesn''t matter what''s happening, attack that tentacle and free my pokemon," Red orders. Yellow and Purple do as he says and get ready to attack when two more tentacles shoot out of Julian''s shadow and wrap around Shadow Ampharos and Shadow Swalot. The two pokemons struggle to escape, but it''s useless. They try to scratch, bite, and w, but they cannot damage something that is made of shadow. Red, Yellow, and Purple watch in horror as their pokemons are being dangled in the air by threerge tentacles and arepletely helpless to do anything about it. They then look at Julian and seeing how the tentacles areing out of his shadow, their imaginations start running wild. Red "What the fuck are you? Stay away from us!" Red shouts and his teammates hundred percent agree with his words. Julian smirks and suddenly the three pokemons dangling in the air started getting smashed around repeatedly. This scares the shit out of the three Hexagon members. They then have to watch as their shadow pokemons get dragged into the shadow by these tentacles. Now they are helpless, they have nothing that can help them counter this freak. Red "AARRRRR, RUNNNNN!" Red shouts, turns his back, and tries to run, but he immediately trips. He looks down at his ankle and sees the same ck tentacleing out of his own shadow, wrapped around his ankle. Chills run down his spine as he realizes there is no escape. He looks up at Julian and sees him smiling. That smile terrifies him more than anything. He immediately loses consciousness. Purple and Yellow are also terrified. They saw what just happened and knew that running was not an option. Yellow "Spare us, we were just following orders," Purple "Yes, it''s our boss, Sir Eldes, who ordered us to kill you," Yellow "Yes, yes, we have nothing to do with it. We have family back home, please spare us" Julian "What do you know about Vander?" Julian asks. Purple "Vander... Vander, yes, the Mt. Battle leader. He works as a spy for us against the resistance. He is also the one who informed Sir Eldes about youing here." Purple immediately starts snitching. Julian ''I was right. Looks like he can''t be trusted. I have to be more careful around the Resistance members. Some of them could also be just like Vander.'' Julian thinks and orders Gengar to knock the two out. Gengar''s shadow tentacles smack the back of both Yellow and Purple''s heads, knocking them out. He then brings his attention back to the battle between Marshadow and the remaining three members of the Hexagon. With their numbers cut in half Marshadow is having an easier time handling his opponents, but these shadow pokemons continue to brush off all his attacks and keep attacking Marshadow. And the effect of this long battle is showing, Marshadow is getting tired. Even though he is stronger than his opponents, their unending stamina is showing its advantage. Julian "Marshadow, enough. Come back," Julian orders. Marshadow quicklyes back to Julian''s side. Julian kneels and pats Marshadow''s head. Julian "You did very well," Julian praises Marshadow making the little guy fill with joy for being praised. Julian "Gengar, take the rest of them out," Julian orders. Tentacles shoot out of multiple shadows and smash into the remaining shadow pokemons. They then get wrapped and dragged into the shadow realm while the remaining Hexagon members watch with dread. Before they can even run, they get smacked in the back of the head and get knocked out as well. Chapter 1376: A Weird Energy Chapter 1376: A Weird Energy Julian ties up the Hexagon cipher members and lets Gengar drag them into his shadow realm. He still doesn''t know what to do with these ruffians. Since most of Orre is under Cipher''s control, he can''t just hand them to the authorities¡ªeven the ones who im not to be under Cipher''s influence. Julian had already seen a traitor hiding among the resistance, putting on a friendly face up front and then stabbing the back. His only option right now is to capture all these goons and hand them over to the league when he is done with Cipher once and for all. Julian then proceeds to make his way through the invisible barrier and sees a small structure with a thick gate preventing his entry into the hideout. Julian [Gengar see if there is any ID on their person,] Julian speaks directly to Gengar and makes him check the Hexagon Cipher members to see if they have anything that could let him open the gate. A tentacle rises with multiple ID cards. Six cards of different colors, each matching the individual member''s corresponding color. Julian takes the red ID card as the red member is their leader, so his card should have ess to more ces than others.He ces the ID card in front of the scanner and massive metal doors start moving. A stairway leading deep into the ground greets him. Julian "Gengar, scout out the wholeb. Find Professor Krane." Gengar separates from Julian''s shadow and begins his scout mission. As he goes deeper into theb, he starts seeing Cipher members, but these guys are nothing special for Gengar to be interested in. He moves deeper and enters ab. Inside, he sees many pokemons trapped inside pods in aatose state as multiple tubes are attached to their body. Gengar follows these tubes and traces them towards a small container containing an orb of dark energy. Gengar narrows his eyes, as he can''t tell what this orb of energy is. He is right now a very powerful entity that can influence the realm of shadows, and even he can''t get a grasp of what this orb of energy is. One thing he can tell is that this thing is beyond his capability. So Gengar immediately informs Julian about it through his thoughts. Back to Julian, he too is going around the facility, searching for Professor Krane while stealthily taking out Cipher guards with Marshadow''s help when he suddenly receives Gengar''s message. "A weird energy? Is it the source of all shadow pokemons?" he questions and quickly makes his way toward Gengar. On his way, a few Cipher members see him and try to alert everyone in theb, but Marshadow is too swift to even let them make a move. Julian doesn''t want to rm the wholeb, as it might lead to Professor Krane getting hurt. Julian arrives at theb where Gengar is and immediately sees the mentioned pokemons inside pods induced into a forceda by Cipher. Seeing their poor state makes Julian''s blood boil, but he controls his rage and approaches Gengar. He looks at the small container mentioned by Gengar with equally confused eyes. He, too, doesn''t know what this dark energy is. The pulsating dark energy is being carried by the tubes into the pods and then infused into theatose pokemons to trigger their shadowfication. Julian [System] Julian calls out the system he has not used for quite a while because he never had any need for it until now. With his strength growing day by day, his need for the system has reduced quite a lot. But during situations like this, it''s the best thing he has ess to. System [Yes host?] The system asks with its usual cold tone. Julian [What is this energy in front of me?] Julian asks. System [--Scanning--] As the system gets busy with scanning, Crystal too finally notices the weird energy and pops its head out. It looks at the pulsating dark energy with its oversized, cute eyes. Excitement shes in them as Crystal shoots out of Julian''s pocket and starts aggressively circling the container. Julian "Looks like Crystal recognise it. Crystal" Crystal is much more sensitive to these energiespared to Julian, as Julian''s abilities are limited by God himself. The container that this energy is in seems to be able to block almost all the radiation inside. But Crystal was still able to sense it. Julian "Crystal, calm down," Julian tries to calm down Crystal. He has rarely seen Crystal get this excited over something. Crystal didn''t feel this level of excitement even when discovering that time tform in Agate Vige. System [Scanningplete... The energy signature matched... Energy affinity Dark... Energy source... Arceus''s dark te] Julian''s eyes widen as he hears the system''s answer. Julian is not foreign to Arceus''s tes as he has encountered it twice. The first time was when he found the Water te near Mt. Cor, and the second time was the Ice te which he found after catching Kyurem, who took him into another dimension. And both times, Crystal absorbed those energies to be stronger. This also exins why Crystal is so excited right now. Julian "Why is this energy so littlepared to the one I have seen before and where''s the dark te? And how the fuck did Cipher get their hands on something like this?" Julian had too many questions, but no one to answer them. He then bes serious as he realizes something. Julian "There is a third te out there and Cipher has ess to it. I need to find it and hide it away from everyone." Julian understands the danger of these tes. A single te is more dangerous than any creation trio''s manifestation. If Cipher really has ess to this te, then the entire world is doomed. Chapter 1377: Blaring Alarms Julian knows the danger that an Arceus te can be and he is not going to let some evil organization possess one. Especially someone like Cipher. He looks at the dark energy orb and wonders what to do with it. Julian [System, will there be any side effects to all these pokemons if Crystal absorbs this energy?] He asks, as he cannot allow even this minuscule amount of dark energy to be in Cipher''s possession. System [These pokemons have already been subjected to the dark energy which has affected both their bodies and souls. Even though they are not fully sumbed to shadowfication, they are all lost cause. They will be violent and unstable once released,] The system doesn''t beat around the bushes and tells Julian exactly what will happen. Julian ''Looks like I can''t save them right now,'' Julian "Gengar, send them all into your dimension and keep them asleep" Julian decides that this is the best way to handle this situation. At least, these poor pokemons will not be subjected to the continuous pain of existence.Gengar listens to Julian, opens his shadow dimensions right inside the pods, and drags theatose pokemons into his dimension where he will subject them to a long, peaceful sleep. Julian "Gengar, continue your search for Professor Krane, and once you find him, inform me immediately and protect him" Gengar nods and disappears once again, leaving Julian and Crystal alone in theb. Crystal is getting a little impatient as it wants to absorb the dark energy orb, but Julian keeps him waiting. He is waiting for Professor Krane to be safe before he does anything. A powerful energy source like this will have an rm system that will re up once it is touched or altered, so Julian doesn''t want to take any chances with Professor Krane''s life. _________________ Gengar moves swiftly across multiple floors, scanning each floor with extreme vignce until he finally arrives at the very bottom. He finds a room upied by multiple people, so he phases in and sees a few Cipher members and a young man with brown hair and sses tied to a chair with some bruises on his face and body. It looks like they are trying to break the man, but the man isn''t showing any signs of surrendering. "Come onnnn, agree to our demands already. This torture thing is sooo boringggggg," A teenage girl with pink hair in a long ponytail says with stomping her feet in frustration. Krane "Never, I am never going to work for Cipher. I would rather die." The tied-up man, Professor Krane, says with determination. Gengar immediately notifies Julian, who has been waiting for his signal. Back in theb, Julian is patiently waiting while also keeping his mischievous Crystal in check when he finally gets the signal he is waiting for. Julian "Fine, you can absorb it now," Julian says. Crystal excitedly punches the small container with its tiny fist and shatters it into pieces. As this happens, rms immediately start to re and lights start shing red. Not bothered by the chaos, Crystal gets close to the energy orb, touches it with the crystal on its forehead, and begins to siphon it into its tiny body. Julian keeps his eye on Crystal as he knows the effect this kind of energy has on Crystal. Thest two times Crystal absorbed this energy, it fell into deep slumbers. Julian ''The amount of energy is very little, so from my estimation Crystal won''t slumber for long.'' He thinks when he suddenly hears footsteps rushing in his direction. "HEY! Who are you? What are you doing here?" the man in the lead wearing a whiteb coat shouts, seeing Julian. His eyes then fall on the broken shards of ss and the missing energy orb, causing all the blood on his face to drain out. "I am going to die. They are going to fucking kill me. I just left to get some snacks. I didn''t know this would happen," the man utters words of horror. Just like him, some of his colleagues are also horrified by what they are seeing right now. Not only the missing energy orb, but even the pokemons they were given are nowhere to be found. At this moment, their whole life is shing in front of their eyes. Some Cipher members soon rush in as well and see the state of theb. They then look at Julian and immediately attack him. "Intruder, there is nowhere for you to run!" One of them shouts and orders his Pokemon to attack Julian, the other cipher members also follow his lead and attack Julian altogether. Julian sends out Vikavolt and Golisopod, both shiny and unique. Vikavolt charges his electricity in his silver and green luster. At the same time, his Golisopod res its red fangs and ws, trying to look intimidating even though he is much smallerpared to a normal-sized Golisopod. Both these pokemons are Julian''s youngest, but they havee far away from where they were when he caught him. And now they get to test themselves against a hoard of enemies. Chapter 1378: Whose Pokemon Are You? Golisopod and Vikavolt try to disy their fierceness, but the attackers are bothered as they have the number advantage. Seeing that their intimidation tactics aren''t working, they go straight for offense. Golisopod immediately goes behind Vikavolt as Vikavolt charges up the electric current in his body and uses Discharge, sending a powerful wave of electricity all around except the back where Golisopod is taking shelter. The electric wave hits every pokemon that tries to approach the two, immediately stopping them in their tracks except one. With most of the enemies'' movementing to a halt, Golisopod makes his move. His unusually small frame makes him incredibly swift and nimble, so using his speed, he uses Frist-Impression, a move that can only be used once during a battle as the very first move, though limited by this aspect, the move is incredibly powerful and it shows. Golisopod hits a Gastrodon, which is in the lead with it, and the Gastrodon is immediately put to sleep. Galisopod doesn''t stop there. Using his speed, he immediately targets the other pokemons who were stopped by Vikavolt''s Discharge. Galisopod uses Fury Cutter as he goes past these electrified pokemons and takes all of them out with one swift movement. As Golisopod stops his rampage, the remaining Cipher members who still have not ordered their pokemons try to attack Golisopod using special attacks. Golisopod immediately turns his back towards the iing attack and uses Iron Defense, a coat of steel energy envelops his shell and he curls up, covering every part of his body seemingly.Seeing that all their focus is on attacking Golisopod, Vikavolt makes his move. Vikavolt''s wings start pping at hyper-speed creating a loud buzzing noise. His body sparks with streaks of electricity which soon engulfs his whole body. Vikavolt uses Wild Charge and propels his body towards the enemies. Like a blur, Vikavolt ends up crashing into a Garbodor and sends it flying and crashing into its trainer. Vikavolt then immediately uses Discharge again and electrocutes all the enemy pokemons who are now right next to him. All these pokemons, along with their trainers, get zapped till they pass out. And just like that, the enemy is taken care of, but it is not over. Julian "Let''s move" Julian orders and walks out of theb, followed by Golisopod and Vikavolt. His next stop is the lowest floor of theb where Professor Krane is being held right now. As for the scientists, they can''t do anything but stare at Julian with horror as he walks past them. They are scientists, not Pokemon trainers. What are they gonna do to stop this man when the fighting members of their organization were taken out so effortlessly by just two pokemons who didn''t even receive any instructions? ______________________ As the torture of Professor Krane was about to continue, the rms started ring and lights started shing red, alerting everyone in the room. "What is happening?" the pink-haired teenager shouts as the sudden noise spooked her a little. "We will go and find out, madam," two very buff cipher members say and run out in a hurry, trying to figure out what is happening. "Is this your doing?" the pink-haired teenager looks at Krane and asks. Krane "Haha, how can it be me? I have been tied up since the moment you people brought me here." "Are you making fun of me? Do you think I am stupid?" the teenage brat raises her voice in annoyance and tries to smack Professor Krane. But her hand suddenlyes to a stop right before reaching Professor Krane''s face. The girl''s eyes widen with shock as she doesn''t know what is happening. To her, it feels like someone is grabbing her hand, but she isn''t able to see anyone. "Who is it? Show yourself!!" the girl shouts. "Gegegegegege" The girl suddenly hears a very creepyughter, sending shivers down her spine. "LET GO OF MEEEEEEE~" the girl shrills and ils her arm. Suddenly the grip around her wrist disappears, and she falls butt-first on the floor. She looks around the room with fearful eyes while slowly getting back to her feet. "Naps, keep your eyes on h-him, I will go check and see what''s going on," she immediately makes an excuse and runs out of the room in fear leaving Gengar giggling in silence. The aforementioned Naps stand there dumbfounded by his sister''s action. Yes, the girl who just ran away is his elder sister. Naps "I can''t believe Lovrina would leave me alone in this room," The boy wearing cipher gear who doesn''t seem much older than fifteen says while looking around the room in feer. He, too, saw what just happened to his sister, and he didn''t want to be a victim of this unknown entity. Naps "Mr. I don''t know who you are, but please don''t hurt me. I am innocent. I didn''t even want to do this. My sister forced me intoing here and wearing this stupid costume." Naps begged in a fearful tone. Little does he know that Gengar is inches away from his face, looking at him. Gengar looks at the boy and feels no maliceing off of him. The boy just seems to be a victim of his sister''s bad choices. Krane "Hello, whoever it is, can you help me?" Krane speaks up as he believes that whoever this is came to rescue him because he couldn''t think of any other reason to infiltrate a Cipherb and cause this much chaos. And as those wordse out of his mouth, the ropes binding him slowly loosen up and start floating in the air, spooking Naps even more. Krane "Can I know whose Pokemon are you?" Even though he can''t see Gengar, Krane is a Pokemon professor. He is smart enough to realize that this is all the doing of a pokemon, he just doesn''t know whose pokemon this is. He doesn''t know anyone who owns a pokemon that can be invisible. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 1379: Frozen Professor Krane wonders whose Pokemon is doing all this because he can''t think of anyone he knows that has pokemons capable of doing this. To answer his question, Gengar suddenly materializes in front of Professor Krane. Krane''s eyes widen while Naps scream in fear at Gengar''s sudden appearance. Krane "Exceptional, I have never seen a Gengar this big in my life. Who is your trainer? Do I know him?" Though Professor Krane is grateful for his rescue, he still doesn''t know who hase to rescue him. Gengar looks at Krane and signals him to follow as he floats out of the room. Krane looks at Gengar''s back and follows him. As for Naps, he is smart enough to not stop Gengar. He is just a young teenager; he doesn''t want to do anything with Cipher or this big-ass Gengar. ______________________ Julian looks down into his pocket and sees Crystal deep asleep. Even that minuscule amount of energy has put Crystal in a deep slumber. He doesn''t know when Crystal will wake up, but he is sure that Crystal will be stronger than ever when it does.As Julian continues his way deeper down theb, he encounters more and more Cipher members who try to attack him immediately but his Vikavolt and Golisopod counter before they can even make a move. Their speed and swiftness are out of the world and their teamwork allows them to take out opponents with incredible efficiency. Every cipher member that came his way was taken care of with ease until two very big dudes confronted him. Both of them stand at least seven feet tall with huge muscles, wearing Cipher gear that looks a lot different from your regr member. "Intruder, surrender now or face the consequence," one of them yells while pointing a dark pokeball at Julian. His partner also gets ready and takes out his own dark pokeball. Julian "Move away and you won''t have to suffer," Julian retaliates back. "You asked for this," the big cipher member says and sends out his pokemon. His partner too doesn''t waste words and sends his pokemon out as well. Two massive shadow pokemons now block Julian''s path. A Shadow Conkeldurr and a Shadow Machamp. Julian looks at these two pokemons and feels pity for them. They are elite-level pokemons who could have led a great life in the wild or with a trainer, but now they suffer because of Cipher. Now that these two elite-level pokemons are shadowfied, Julian''s Vikavolt and Golisopod are no match for them. Julian ''I should end this quick,'' Knowing his pokemons are outmatched and them being shadow pokemons, he knows this battle will be needlessly dragged. Julian gives it some thought and sends out Kyurem The two massive brutes couldn''t believe their eyes as they looked at the pokemon standing in front of them. "Tell me I am not the only one seeing this?" One brute asks. "I don''t think so, I am also seeing it," the other brute answers. "This is clearly a fake Pokemon right?" the first brute asks "I don''t know, it doesn''t look like one," the other brute replies. "There is only one way to find out. Let''s attack it. Maybe it''s just an illusion. You know like a Zoroark," the first onees up with a theory and his theory is actually not bad. The likelihood of them encountering a trainer who is walking around with a legendary Pokemon in their pocket is extremely minuscule. ? They are more likely toe across a Zoroark pretending to be a Kyurem than an actual Kyurem itself. "Conkeldurr, use Hammer Arm" "Machamp, use Cross Chop" Both order their shadow pokemons to use their respective moves, trying to take down this Kyurem which they believe is an illusion. Julian "Freeze them" Julian doesn''t need to say much with Kyurem fighting his battles. Kyurem roars as his eyes sh with freezing glint. Suddenly a burst of coldness envelops everything, freezing everything in its wake. Ice crystals form in thin air, the walls get covered in a thinyer of ice and the two pokemons trying to attack Kyurem are now encased insiderge boulders of ice. The burly cipher members watch all this happen in bewilderment. They didn''t expect their shadow pokemons to get incapacitated in such a way. Sure, they can handle all kinds of physical damage, but what are they gonna do once trapped inside ice? And this is not any normal ice. This ice is made by Kyurem, the molecules in it are packed tighter than any metal. There is no way these two pokemons are ever breaking out of it. They then look at Julian and wonder who he is. Why is this man walking around with a living, breathing legendary Pokemon? Julian "So you two want to continue?" Julian asks the two men stopping his way. The men stare at Julian, look at each other, and then look back at Julian. As the image of their pokemons getting frozen in an instant ys in their head, they aggressively shake their head, denying their intention to stop Julian. They turn their back to Julian and make a run for their life. Little do they know they have no choice. As soon as they turned their back, they too got frozen on the spot. Julian "Make sure they don''t die in their," Kyurem maniptes the ice in such a way that they can breathe inside and not freeze to death. Julian then continues onward making his way down theb. With one more floor to go, Julian sees a girl with long pink pigtail-styled hair running towards him. He looks at the clothes she is wearing and immediately guesses her identity. Chapter 1380: Clash In The Phantom Zone The girles to an abrupt stop seeing Julian and looks at him suspiciously. "Who are you? Are you the one responsible for all this chaos?" the girl shouts at him in her high-pitched pitch annoying voice. Julian "I guess. Who are you?" Julian asks. Even though he suspects this girl to be some higher-up in Cipher looking at the uniform she is wearing, it is better to be more informed. "How dare you trespass into our Cipher base? I am going to make you regret ever stepping foot inside thisb," she yells and sends out her Mismagius to teach Julian this so-called lesson. Julian studies the girl in front of him and realizes that she should be about the same age as him physically, but her behavior is that of a spoilt child. But the pokemons she is using would easily make her a top contender amongst the elite fours of any region. A near champion-level Pokemon. Julian "Are you in charge here?" Julian asks noticing her strength. She is the strongest Pokemon trainer he hase across in this region till now."Of course, I am in charge. I am Lovrina, an admin of Cipher. You should surrender to me right now by getting on your knees and begging for mercy, and maybe I will spare you the pain that wille after. Plus, you are very good-looking. You might get lucky enough to be one of my henchmen." Lovrina says and lets out an annoyingugh. Julian "You think too highly of yourself," Julian says and sends out his pokemon into battle, Marshadow. Since he is facing off against a near champion-level pokemon, Julian believes that it will be great for Marshadow to battle against. And now that Professor Krane is safe, and he has found the person in charge of this facility, he is in no hurry to end this. Lovrina "Is that a Marshadow?" She yells with enthusiasm. She remembers hearing about some of their members trying to catch a Marshadow in Al, but they failed miserably because of some dude. Al is a sore topic for the higher-ups of Cipher, but Lovrina doesn''t care much about anything going on. She doesn''t even realize that the person standing in front of her is the reason behind their failure in Al. She is just an incredibly strong trainer, but very simple-minded and has a very shallow view of the world. Cipher recruited her and gave her everything she wanted because of her strength. Even handing over the title of Admin to her. But they are not foolish to keep her in the inner circle of what is happening inside Cipher. Lovrina "Today is my lucky day. I am going to capture your Marshadow and get myself something nice in exchange." Lovrina''s words are filled with greed Julian "Now, now, don''t be so confident. How are you so sure that you are going to win this battle?" Julian finds her overconfidenceughable. He can tell that this girl has never suffered a setback ever in her life. Lovrina "Hmph, I am the strongest trainer in Cipher. No one can defeat me." She brags, but Julian doesn''t believe a wording out of her mouth. Julian "Then stop wasting my time by being a brat. Let''s settle this quick," Julian provokes her, and he easily gets a response. Lovrina "What did you call me? Unforgivable! Mismagius, teach him a lesson, use Phantom Force," Lovrina decides to deal with Julian first, finding hisment insulting. She orders her Mismagius to attack Julian directly using Phantom Force. A move that allows a Pokemon to enter the phantom zone andpletely disappear from the battlefield, making them immune to all types of attacks when in it, and once the coast is clear, they can reappear and deliver and devastating blow to their opponent. This move is simr to Shadow Sneak, but the power behind the attack is much greater because the pokemons get a boost by entering the phantom zone. Julian "I can do that too, you know. Marshadow, counter with Phantom Force," Julian orders. Marshadow too enters the phantom zone. As soon as Marshadow enters the phantom zone, he notices Mismagius and gives chase. Mismagius sees Marshadow and immediately goes on the attack, thinking that it can overpower Marshadow. Like trainer-like Pokemon. What Mismagius doesn''t know is that Marshadow is a much more capable user of the Phantom Force, as he has directly trained under Gengar. Both Matshadow and Mismagius'' bodies charge up by feeding off the phantom zone as they rush toward each other. And when the sh, the phantom zone cracks. The power output from these two Pokemon is too much for this small pocket of a phantom zone that was created. As the phantom zone cracks, both Julian and Lovrina back in the real world see a purple crack appear in thin air. The crack then immediately expands like shattering ss and explodes, releasing a lot of energy. Julian covers his eyes and nts his foot to stabilize himself. Lovrina, too, does the same as her pigtails il violently. Suddenly, both Marshadow and Mismagius appear in the real world and get pushed back from the recoil of their sh Mismagius gets sent flying way further, almost crashing into Lovrina while Marshadow easily stabilizes himself. Lovrina "What??? How is that possible?" She is in shock as her Mismagius has never been the one to get pushed back in a battle, ever. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
